Six Months Previous

Kube looked at the three people sitting in front of him. They were the three that had lasted the longest. They were now the three strongest. It was to these three he would give his warning. And then he would sit back and watch the chaos unfold to wait for another magical boy or girl to change and create the energy that his masters required so much. One of these three, or possibly someone else, would change and create more energy than any before them. To them, he gave his warning: "Soon, the end will come. In less than a year, the biggest threat to the humans, the race you once belonged to, will begin to destroy itself due to the darkness in peoples hearts. The biggest witch is coming and it is up to you three to put together teams to try an stop it. You can not do it alone, nor can the three of you seem to get along so well. Niamh, you will begin to find your team in the west coast of the US; Zeke, you will begin your team in the central part of the US; and Chiara you will begin yours on the east coast of the US. I wish you luck on your adventure and will be waiting to see who you find and how well you do against the witch. Good bye." And wuith that he was gone, off to make more magical boys and girls for the next nine months. He couldn't wait for the chaos to start amongst the humans he was never able to understand.

SIX MONTH LATER. NOW.

Our Story Begins.

Chiara woke up slowly and glanced at the clock. it was past three in the after noon on Saturday. She groaned and rolled over. "Another day of witch hunting. Get up, find a labyrinth, deal with it." She told herself over and over. Finally she got out of the bed and got dressed. From there she turns on the news and lets it play as slight background noise. It also was to help her find where the largest group of chaos causers would be found. In that area, she would most likely find the labyrinth.

She picked up her phone and checked to see if she had a message from the one other member of her team, Opal. Not seeing anything she sent one herself asking if she has had any luck with todays work. With that she turned everything off, grabbed her phone and her keys and left the house, deciding to search on foot. She had the feeling that today was going to be a long day.

Videl watched as the witches labyrinth melted around her. It had been a quick fight and she knew it wouldn't yield much. But it had been something to do. She was bored with just wandering around Las Vegas. So when she stumbled upon the entrance, she took the opportunity. Now she felt is was time to leave the city. Or go mess with the so called teams of witch hunters. Maybe the team on the west coast. She hadn't been there for a while. Thought after thought on how to get there ran through her head as she moved the power of the despair seed to her soul gem.

She let the magic fade, her hair and clothes changing back to their normal appearance and started walking as she pulled her hair back into its normal pony tail. Now all she had to do was decide her method of transport. She vetoed the bus. The last trip had not ended well. She decided to find a car. "That should be easy enough here." The thought was bitter. Heading back to the strip, she smiled and made her choice. Off to the west coast she goes.

A text from Chiara! Opal had been out patrolling for quite some time and was on the trail of a labyrinth. Her soul gem lit up suddenly, and she knew she had found the witch. There was no chance of this being a familiar. She texts back,

>> witch at the rail road tracks near the center of town. I'm going in.

She enters the labyrinth and transforms, her iron claws ready to attack. Smirking, the girl with the spade in her hair begins walking through the labyrinth, trying to find the witch. This was going to be fun! Her sleeves were covering her claws, but she could hear enemies coming closer. Rolling the fabric of her dress up, she braces herself for the attack. Here they come! Little enemies coming straight towards her. Slashing two at a time she has to kick away the other ones. They were swarming, it was too much. She ran for the exit, hopefully her teammate would be there! The witches minions follow her, forcing her to slash more of them. They pull at her hair, keeping her back. She lets out a scream, frustrated and scared. This witch was not meant to be handled alone! She could knock some of the swarm away, but they would come right back. They seemed to never end. She ignores them and takes her phone out, texting the team leader and kicking enemies away at the same time.

>> need help. Swarms. Can't handle alone.

Niamh roamed the streets watching as the lights automatically flickered on throughout the city, dotting the landscape like thousands of twinkling stars.How very much things had changed since ancient Greece! She stopped and leaned heavily against a tree sighing, as she recalled her past which was anything but pretty.

While she leaned casually against the tree she pondered the reason she was still alive, her wish. She'd wanted to be able to protect her family. She never thought it would lead to this, living a couple thousand years protecting her entire blood line. A blood line that she thought had ended a couple years ago....

Leon falls over after practicing with his wooden swords. "I'm so bored... I wonder if something interesting will happen tonight..." he was thinking as he started heading out. "I'll be back later" he said to his sister, as he went out. He was walking a bit faster than normal, as he was impatient today for some reason. Despite his speed, he was stumbling and didn't notice his untied shoes. He stopped for a moment, when he noticed Niamh in thought unaware of his presence. "Hmm let's give her a hug and surprise her" were his thoughts. So he swiftly went up to her, and stood a few steps away for a minute. He then gave her a bear hug saying "Hi how is it going there?"...

The moment her phone rang she grabbed it and checked the message, her eyes widening as she read the second message. She tucked the phone as she started to run. As she ran she began the process of changing to her magical form. For a brief moment she was thankful no one could see her changing or hear the clank of her heavy plate armor. She turned the corner and spotted the entrance. She ran through raising her axe and sending her power a head of her to strengthen Opal. With a cluster just in front of her She swung her axe in a sideways arch and knocked them away. "Opal! Where ya at girly!?" She called out, her eyes roaming and searching for her friend and team mate. She continued using her axe to sweep away the minions, not giving them much thought as she searched.

Videl pulled the stolen car off the road a few miles from Portland Oregon. She decided she would walk the rest of the way to the city then begin her search of Niamh. Maybe after she got something to eat. It had been a long trip and she was more than happy to be out of the car and walking. Her eyes took in the differences of Nevada ad Oregon. She liked Oregon more. She whistled a happy tune as she walked and began plotting on how she would mess with Niamh.

[Cystile]

"Right next to ya, be careful where you swing that axe!" She gets the last few enemies off of her. How she hated it when they swarmed! She was strong, but she can't fight multiple things at once. "Anyways, you wanna go on ahead?" She pulls her sleeves back over her claws. She doesn't like to show them when she's not using them, they get in the way. Sleeves don't block the blades though, they can easily cut through them.

Niamh jumped as a pair of unfamiliar arms went around her. She snapped out of a particularly gorey flashback of the Civil War Era and spun with her bow in hand.*Thudd* Her senses slowly returned with the dull sound. She sighed looking at Leon. He was currently pinned against the tree she'd been leaning on with the shaft of her bow pressed tightly under his jaw. She glared.What the hell did he think he's doing sneaking up on me like that? At that moment a soft blue glow came from her soul gem secured around her neck accompanied with a slight warmth. "There's a witch a few miles from where we are now, you can either fight it with me or go find your own." At that she attempted to solar plex him, turning on her heel she ran into the darkness of the night.

[Kyratus]

Ouch.. that may leave a mark. Am I crazy enough to do that again I wonder... After kneeling on the ground for a few minutes Leon decided to follow Niamh. [I]Note to self, block a solar plex.../I] He ran off after Niamh, but for some reason had an uneasy feeling about tonight. As he was running in the darkness, he looked at his Soul Gem as it glowed and wondered how strong the witch could be. "Well this should be a piece of cake, with two of us going. There should be no need to worry about anything else."

Liam strolled through the town in Wyoming where his little gang of sorts usually spent their time when they were not up to anything of importance. Glancing here and there from time to time searching for something to cure his boredom. Scanning the area around him as he walked with his vibrant blue eyes finally catching sight of a few Tv's behind a glass window making a tad bit of noise. Carefully looking both ways he made his way across the road, pushing a bit of his scarf back behind him as it was becoming a bit of a bother hanging out in front of him as he walked. Finally reaching the Television's his frown of disappointment was hidden behind his gray scarf as there seemed to be nothing really going on with the news. Just as he was about to sigh and go on his way down the street to continue his search the news station started bustling with activity about a whole lot of commotion going around the Mt. Washburn area. Liam having finally found something to do not taking notice if anyone was even around him he exclaimed with excitement. "It is about time something happened!" Chuckling to himself unable to suppress his giddiness he quickly pulled out his cell phone texting the person he thought would want to know, Lana. After the message was sent he couldn't decide if he should wait for her response or just go on ahead. He decided to stay put for just a few minutes and wait for his cohorts reaction.

[Sylvia]

Lana was still asleep in a parking lot in her (stolen) car. She had laid down in the back of the vehicle the night before unaware of how tired she truly was. After a while of the sun peaking through the windows of the car forcing Lana to finally get up at least to a sitting position to avoid the sun being directly in her eyes. She had fallen asleep in her regular attire she just simply wiped her eyes a tad and straightened her clothes a bit before she started to think to herself. About the little group she seems to have found herself in with just one other person, so far at least. She didn't know a lot about Liam but he seemed like a good guy, a happy one at that. "It's hard to believe such a happy go-lucky guy had a traumatic experience earlier in life." Just a few seconds later her phone buzzed in her pocket, pulling it out she smiled a tad that he had texted her just as she was thinking about him. Although it was followed by a bit of a serious expression by the news the messaged bared. From what she remembered Mt. Washburn wasn't to far from where they are, maybe just a few miles. Liam's position was even closer so finally coming to the decision of wanting to save money and gas she began walking towards Liam's position texting him back that she was on her way for it was only going to take her about 10 minutes.
