"He has a spirit. That makes him as alive as anyone else. Either we both leave, or neither of us do." Ignoring him after that, Hikaru awaited the answer to her question.

Smith nodded in thought. "Alright, then," he smirked with an ominous voice. He walked off and disappeared when he was out of her sight.

"Well," Anisa explained, "Matt, why don't you explain?"

Steve spoke up, "Sure. You see, once every two thousand years, we are allowed to send a single life -- only one -- through this realm to the next, and through the next realm to the realm you call home... untouched. Any other life which tries to go through will be... reincarnated."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #28 on:** November 05, 2010, 05:50:39 AM »

Hikaru froze. "Just what do you mean re-incarnation? Again I ask! Where the hell are we, and who the hell are you?! At this point, I have a high suspicion you're messing with us. So far you've given three names for yourself, each far different than the last. You haven't bothered to explain who you are passed just giving a name, and now you say only one of us can leave?!!" She scoffed, a growl accompanying it. "I REFUSE TO ACCEPT! I WANT REAL ANSWERS! Not just some quick explanation!"

Calming herself, Hikaru continued to assess the situation. Were they serious? Was one of them really stranded there for two-thousand years? "Well at least I would be away from that idiot and his race..." She mumbled to herself.

Gaserlake waited for the countdown to end on the pocket watch as he watched Smith go away. Strangely, Smith disappeared from Gaserlake's vision as soon as the countdown ended. He hit the pin on the pocket watch. He seemingly popped out of nowhere in the hot tub.

"Yeah, you can say that again," Gaserlake responded to Hikaru. He threw the book and the pocket watch from out of the hot tub, and leaped out of the hot tub, and shook himself dry like a dog.

OOC: ..Gaser, you just trapped your character. xD

"Hikaru. Calm down," C2323 said with a very serious face, "Listen t- AH! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" C2323 demanded, pointing at Gaserlake.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #31 on:** November 06, 2010, 03:52:48 PM »

There was complete silence for a few seconds after Gaserlake appeared, that Hikaru had to quite literally force herself from jumping back in shock, or jumping forward and strangling him. Both options were at the top of her mind as she groaned in discontent. Was this some sort of sick joke from fate? What the hell? Just what the hell?! Now that she thought about it, Hikaru concluded, maybe they were still in Hell, maybe they both had died and were now being tortured by Lucifer. It seemed like a liable explanation.

"That! Brother." Hikaru lied through her teeth, "Is the damn party that attacked us!"

K2 · « **Reply #32 on:** November 06, 2010, 03:56:39 PM »

"Aha! Well, prepare to be eliminated! Do you work for Logan or something!? It's time that you be destroyed!"

C2323 hopped out of the hot tub, his Genesis Staff appearing in hand. He prepared a white ball of magic in his hands and threw it through the air towards Gaserlake.

Matt and Anisa watched, amused.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #33 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:33:18 PM »

Gaserlake looked at Hikaru with the 'Dude, what the fuck?' expression on his face. He turned to C2. Apparently, C2 forgot who Gaserlake was.

Gaserlake dodged the ball, stepping to the side. "I didn't attack anyone, damn it! I just came here! I used to work for Logan, but not anymore. We split up. He went his way, I went my way. Anyway, I wanted to tell you something!" He picked up Asura's book, opened it, and began to write in it that Hikaru was alive and well with C2, who seemed to have lost memory.

So, Hikaru wants to playing lying games, huh? Well, two can play at that game. At the same time, he looked at C2 and spoke. "You lost your memory. Believe it or not, K2, or rather C2, but you are a cyborg, hence why Anisa first called you C2."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #34 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:44:27 PM »

"Don't listen to him!" Hikaru shouted back. Dammit! He had told C2323 the truth. That wouldn't end well... It would probably re-start the battle up, or cause C2323 to leave, stranding her there. If he left, it'd be two-thousand years of Hell. Not that Hikaru had completely dismissed the fact it was already Hell. Especially with what was going on. "He... He's Logan in disguise! It's all mind games! Kai enlisted his help in planning against us!"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #35 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:50:32 PM »

Gaserlake shook his head as he neatly dropped the book and the pen aside. "See for yourself, C2. Cut yourself up. I'm not Logan. I'm in no position to lie, here. Like you, I'm stranded here, and only one could get out in two thousand years. Though, it doesn't matter who I am. It matters who YOU are. Cut yourself up, or something. Anything to expose your insides. The arm would do enough."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #36 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:54:52 PM »

"Don't!" Hikaru warned, jumping out of the hot tub as well and landing near C2323. "Kai used a spell. If you spill any blood it'll he'll obtain your half of the Genesis magic automatically, even if you're apart. The spell would then destroy you. It was a spell he obtained from..." Hikaru paused for a moment to think on that. "One of Emily's ancestors. They had some pretty dark magic books, and Kai seduced her into helping him. Honestly brother, that's why we're here." Hikaru frowned a bit. "So Kai could take over the kingdoms while his lackey here stalled us."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #37 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:07:42 AM »

"Lies! That spell doesn't exist! I would know, because I read your damn mind! I know everything you know! Besides, you can cut the blood flow before you expose the insides of your arm. Hell, just do your hand to make it easier."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #38 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:20:19 AM »

Read her mind. That's all he had to say. As soon as those words were out, Hikaru quite literally lost it, jumping forward and tackling Gaserlake to the ground, holy fire surrounding her. "I'LL KILL YOU DAMMIT!"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #39 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:45:56 AM »

Gaserlake laughed as he was taken down to the ground. He pushed her off to the side and got back up. The holy fire was smothered out by Gaserlake's Elite Energy. "Right there, that admits that I DID read your mind. So, yes, I do have a say so on whether you're lying or not, and you did lie."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #40 on:** November 07, 2010, 01:02:15 AM »

"Grrrr." Hikaru jumped to her feat the moment she was pushed off, glaring daggers at him. Raising her hand, Hikaru summoned the staff from the tournament back to her, from where it lay at the bottom of the hot tub and caught in her hand. "Of course the spell didn't exist." Hikaru spat. "But that doesn't mean Emily's Ancestors couldn't make one. I don't know every spell in existence, they had one I didn't know about till it happened. Who are you going to believe brother? Your own sister? Or our enemy Logan in disguise?!"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #41 on:** November 07, 2010, 01:14:54 AM »

"Oh, come on," Gaserlake rolled his eyes. "Most of the betrayals are from people's siblings, because that's who they trust the most. But you know that you made it up. They may have thought of the idea before you did, but you still made it up. Again, I am NOT Logan. I'm Gaserlake, a fucking Aralang!"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #42 on:** November 07, 2010, 03:47:34 AM »

"Hah! A likely story, Logan! My brother and I have never even heard of an Aralang. You'll have to do better than that." Hikaru grinned as she lied. "And really now, when's the last time you betrayed your sibling or vice versa? Never?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #43 on:** November 07, 2010, 03:52:37 AM »

"You've heard of a damn Aralang. Besides, with the way you've been behaving all this time, it seems like you know a lot about me," Gaserlake smiled. "I've betrayed him plenty of times, well, depending on the way you look at it. Some say yes, some say no." He then telepathically told her via a secure telepathic connection, "I'll talk about that later, just between you and me."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #44 on:** November 07, 2010, 03:56:56 AM »

"Oh right. Like I really believe that. More crap Kai put you up to..." Hikaru paused then smirked and rolled her eyes, "Logan?" She completely ignored the telepathic connection and closed it off before he could even finish after the first word said.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #45 on:** November 07, 2010, 04:38:18 AM »

But Gaserlake forced the telepathic connection through, due to his superior skill that he gained over 15 billion years. "Prove that I'm Logan," he said.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #46 on:** November 07, 2010, 04:48:44 AM »

And when he forced it, Hikaru countered by humming to herself inside her own mind to drown out the telepathy. The song? Some made-up song at the top of her head with the lyrics about killing Aralangs. "Prove you're not."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #47 on:** November 07, 2010, 05:03:02 AM »

Gaserlake, able to access her mind, forced Hikaru to stop trying to drown out the message, and at the same time, amplified the message. "Alright," he said out loud, "Hit me. Come on. Chop my arm off, or something. I'm sure Logan can't regrow a limb. Hell, slice my head off."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #48 on:** November 07, 2010, 05:25:03 AM »

But because Hikaru's mind was one of her most protected sanctuaries with or without the shield she had always kept around it, forcing a message to her wasn't going to be so easy. This was because of more than one reason. If one were to think of the mind like a computer, he would be denied access as he didn't have the figurative 'password.' He may have been able to read it, such as one that looks at files. But this did not give access to the system files, and in analogy, would not give him control of the mind as a whole, such as senses, what she chose to think, or connection. He could try to bruteforce it all he wanted. But without having the 'password,' or in this case, being Hikaru, it was futile.

Due to this, the louder the message got, the louder Hikaru drowned it out with.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #49 on:** November 07, 2010, 05:57:00 AM »

This time, Gaserlake sent two messages. One message was the same one that he tried to send all this time, and the other was another kind of message. It was a mimic of Hikaru's repeating song. It blended in with the song. Since Hikaru is accepting the fact that the song is repeating over and over in her mind to drown it out, the fake message has been accepted into her mind, allowing it more access than the other message. In fact, it was given access to Hikaru's short term memory. Gaserlake took advantage of that and made the fake message give the real message access to the short term memory, and in it went.
