((What?!? So wait... Shauni are you sharing Yomikko's body, stealing it, or what? An explanation would be nice...))

((Just a heads up. I'll be at Anizona sunday so I won't be to get on the forums till sunday night.))

"Great job guys." *Josiah was grinning when he unmerged.* "But we don't have time to celebrate. Bowen's still out there and he still has Shaunisa. I wish we had time to rest first but we don't."

"At least I can heal everyone's wounds." *Virgo walked over.*

'Virgo, are you sure you're ok? Maybe you should stay with Amhal."

"No. I just needed to rest for a few minutes once the unmerging spell completed. I'm fine now. Besides," *she leaned closer to Josiah,* "I want to stay with you."

*He gave her a smile then turned back to the others.* "Varna, Mustadio, you two will stay with Amhal and look after Ben. Amhal, you and your men will stop at the entrance to Bowen's lair. Don't let anyone else in or out." *He paused for a moment and looked closely at his friends.* "Virgo, Jeff, Silver, David, Opal, Yomikko, Emiel, let's go."

((What?!? So wait... Shauni are you sharing Yomikko's body, stealing it, or what? An explanation would be nice...))

((Im just borrowing it so I can help you guys out, plus Bowen was going to use my sprite as an energy sourse to help him take...someone we know as a host, i'll return to my own body when you get to Bowens layer, so dont worry about it, also, Yomikko's soul is still in her body, just not in control))

Yomikko ran ahead to walk with Jeff, she almost linked his arm when she remebered her place
*I gotta be careful...if they found out...no...they cant find out, I wont be here long enough to make an impact*
She ajusted her glasses on her face as if she had just began to ware them
*I still cant beleve I had to do this...I hope Yomikko doesnt mind...its just I have to be involved in this fight...even if its as someone else*
Emiel was staring at Yomikko as they walked, he was developing feelings for her, he didn't understand why...he knew that Yomikko wasnt real...
Shaunisa had been watching him for a while, she knew Emiel liked Yomikko...she just hoped he didnt make a move while she was in there...the thought of betrying Jeff made her shiver
*never...*
She shouted after Josiah
"Josiah! Wait up..."
"What is it Yomikko?"
"umm...If you need anything...just ask me ok...I can help"
Josiah looked at her strangly for a second
"I know that Yomikko, youve always been a big help" he smiled
"No...I mean ask more of me than you did already...I can help"
She smiled, a shauni smile, Josiah looked a little suprised
*since when did Yomikko smile like that? She always had a kinda soft smile...thats almost goffy...*

While Josiah and Yomikko/Shauni were talking, something happened over the the right and down a meter

"OI!" Opal yelled (yes, I'm starting to like to say Oi now than meep *kicks meep out a window*) as Metalicat started to glow "My theory of the EXP points was right!" She coudln't wait to see her cat's next stage looked liked. Her giddyness and smiling stopped when in place there was a...steel looking ball "But....cat....steel...shplung?" Opal was zoned out

As She was zoned out, you-know-who was poking it with a stick.

"Um....maybe it's in a cacoon stage?" Silver shrugged

"Oh, silly me! I still have to read the new card of Metalicat or what ever this thing is..." Opal picked up the new card "Steel Shell eh? Not surprising there...maybe it is a cacoon stage thingy, tio make something beautiful like a Butterfree!"

"Yeah....maybe it's ike that...FUDGE CRACKERS!" Silver yelled as the Steel Shell decided it was being poked one to many and rolled to trip Silver

"Hehehe...I'm already starting to like Steel Shell" Opal smirked, returning all her monsters to their cards

"Hey Virgo, could you come here a sec?" *Josiah waved to Virgo, who had been watching Silver and Opal.*

"Hmm?" *She instantly guaged the look on his face.* "What's wrong?"

*He blinked.* "How did... You're getting annoyingly good at that."

"Reading you?" *She giggled.* "It's not too hard. Besides, isn't that what you're supposed to do when you like someone?"

*Josiah shrugged.* "Um, I guess so..."

"But really," *she grew serious again,* "what's wrong?"

"Probably nothing." *He glanced at Yomikko, who was now walking beside Emiel.* "Most likely all the stuff that's been happening lately has just made me paranoid. Anyway, keep on eye on Yomikko ok? She was acting kinda strange a minute ago."

"You don't think she's really a shadow or something do you?"

"No, she wasn't acting evil, just strange. It's probably nothing, just keep your guard up."

"Ok."

*It took the group another hour of walking to reach Bowen's lair. They paused a moment at the entrance, steeling themselves for what lay ahead. Then, after saying goodbye to Amhal, Varna, and Mustadio, stepped forward into the portal.*

((Hmm, I think Neo wanted us to meet up with either him or Zanther pretty soon. Hopefully he'll be back soon so he can post.))

((I'm back and you left it at a good spot for me to post :) ))

Zanther watched as Hellion was destroyed and the group advanced. They were tired. It was a good time for him to act. Since Bowen said he could use the lair to his needs he decided to do it. He returned to the lair using his own portal and waited for the group. About an hour later they arrived at the entrence. They steped through.

When the group arrived inside they were meet with a long hallway.

"I don't like this. No way to escape."

"Well, guess we'll have to fight if something comes."

Then Zanther appeared ahead of the group.

"Hey, it's Qutar. What is he doing here?"

"Um, I don't think that is Qutar."

"I don't think so either."

"It's Zanther everyone. Prepare yourselfs. We don't know what he's up to.", said Josiah.

Josiah, David, and Silver drew their cards. "What have to done with Neo!", shouted Silver.

"It's not what I've done with him but too him. But that's not the point right now. I have a greater reason for being here." After Zanther said that the light in the hall went out and the place was dark.

But as soon as it had darkened, it was light again and Zanther was gone.

"Well, that was wierd. He normally stays and tries something." Then Silver noticed that Manja was missing. "Fudge Crakers. The little prick took Manja."

Then the group could hear an evil laugh. "There is someone you seek at the end of this hall in a room."

Neo was still out on the side of the crater near the bottom. The hole was the size of an average football field.

"Bowen, I have the last god card for you."

Post by **Silver** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 1:48 pm

((Uh, no. Don't think so.))

"Dang, how'd he get Manja that fast?"

"That's the last god card! I hope he doesn't give it to Bowen... that would be REALLY bad."

"Heh, I wouldn't worry about it. You wouldn't believe how many times that's happened before..."

*Just as Bowen was about to take the card, it floated up into the air and rushed back to Silver's hand, Zanther jumping after it to try to catch it but not succeding*

"What I tell you? I know Manja all too well... the monsters will choose who they want to be with. And I REALLY don't think Manja wants to free Bowen."

"Dam Silver. Him and his blasted card tricks. Guess I'll have to lead them to Bowen somehow. I'll get him is god card..."

Post by **Silver** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 2:01 pm

((That doesn't mean it has to happen yet. That counts as Power Playing anyway- doing something to another person's character without their consent and approval. In other words, my card, only I can give it to Bowen. He'll get it, but NOT YET.))

"And ya know, I bet the stupid Shadow thinks this is the fake card. Well, when he tries to give it to Bowen he'll find out fake cards don't move."

"He still does have that elephant thing..."

Edited by me...

(-pops in- Oi! Opal is for both side. Silver has to let Zanther so we can fight and make it so we can start ROM 4 {on another note, who's starting ROM 4? the thread-wise} for me, if I HAVE to choose a side, I say...you'll get Manja back Silver after Bowen is revived?)

Post by **Silver** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 2:33 pm

((I know, I'm just saying, only I can give him the card, since, ya know, it's kinda mine. I will give it to 'im, just wait! These are Silver's only weaons we're talking about here. -_-'))

Yomiiko glanced at Zanther, a strange glint in her eye
SHe steped forward and join the others in there battle, pulling out Omegan and Mirror
"Ok guys, lets end this!"
she threw the cards out and they burst into life
"W-what are you doing??"
"Helping!"
*Yomikko has helped before...but she never particiapted like this...its like shes a gamer now...no thats stupied....*

Bowen was looaming at the end of the corridor
"Umm...I need that god monster or shaunis aura....and there both there...now is the time!"

Post by **Josiah** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 12:36 pm

((Since Manja is Silver's monster I'll have to give Silver the nod in this. After all, he did say that Bowen will get Manja eventually... Oh, and since Opal asked, I'll be starting the ROM 4 thread.))

*Although Josiah was confused by Yomikko's actions, he knew that this wasn't the time to think about it.* "Looks like it's the end of the line for you Zanther." *Josiah summoned Aquaticia and Hell Fire.* "You've lost your hearts form powers. I single shadow could never defeat us. You're going down!"

((Ok. But still, how did Zanther get back to the group? He left and went to plan some more on getting the group to Bowen. I've changed my one post afew postings back. Zanther left the group remember.))

((Looking back over the posts... It's kinda confusing but I think you're right. Um, let's just say you uh, didn't get far enough away... Feel free to run away if you want or stay and fight. Your call.))
