Bevelle had no idea what was about to hit its streets.

A small figure crept along the shadow of a wall, a wooden stick held in her hand, one end pointed away from her as a larger person would hold a sword. She was a very small girl-child, somewhere between six and seven years of age with shock white hair and brilliant green eyes. From her neck hung a long mythril chain with a large crystal shard depending from it.

Telira LeNaen, Red Mage of Light... but wasn't she supposed to be seventeen?

The little girl's clothes were dripping wet, as if she'd fallen into a body of water and she shivered slightly from the cold of wet clothes and a light breeze. She wasn't certain how she'd gotten here, but she wasn't going to go down without a fight.

From a dark corner between two buildings, two glowing eyes blinked as they watched her walk by.

This couldn't possibly be happening again.... surely this was some twisted dream..... but as Shade Leonhart looked down at her self, yet another groan of misery escaped her lips and her brooding scowl deepened. It was purely unnatural seeing a four year old look so threatening unless straight out of some horror movie, yet in this case, her condition wasn't due to some monstrous tale, but by someone's sick version of a joke. She was four years old.... again.... and someone was going to pay dearly for this mishap.....

Now storming the streets in kiddie combat boots and her usual attire shrunk to fit as well, her steel grey orbs scanned the streets, yet having to look up all the time at the adults passing by just to see if she could spot any suspicious looking faces. Their expressions were more or less confusion, as well as skepticism, seeing a four year old grumpy looking child dragging a rather lethal looking sword drug behind her by her belt. When turning about at the heavy annoyance, her expression changed to that of pure shock when seeing her beautiful steel weapon now nothing but plain ordinary wood.

Her adult brain failed to register how startling it would appear for random profanity to come shouting out of a four year old's mouth......

Zidane normally is a calm and collected sort of guy maybe a little flirty but he was only a teen so it couldn't be helped at time.....but this........THIS was a bit TOO far for even him, one moment he was flirting with a barmaid and was going to get ready for a future date with her the next.... Well the next he is a LOT shorter and obviously his voice had become higher pitch which meant he wasn't a teen at all, but then just because things are crazy his daggers were just little wooden versions of their former selves......that alone called him to yell "WAT DA HELL MAAAANNNN!!!!"

It was clear he was pissed off and something was going on that he didn't like one bit, it was then that he noticed that his clothing had gotten wet due to some air mist system used to help keep people cool during hot days. Looking up at the stuff his eyes narrowed a bit before he then heard another person swearing in a little voice and figured someone else got hit, so running as fast as he could he tried to reach the other voice but when he turned the corner to see the person he tripped and fell over onto the ground with a 'oof!'

When he stood back up and dusted himself off he then saw with big blue eyes one girl that looked like well....looked like the Shade woman he flirted with once and inwardly he laughed but told himself he better not do that out loud......he can't run that well while in this body it seems. So gathering his thoughts he walked toward Shade and then said "Heeey Shade, is dat you?" Zidane grumbled inwardly at the lisp he got.....and even more so the fact his clothes were baggy on him.....DAMN WHO EVER DID THIS!

'Of all the days this could have happened...why on a day of a meeting? I'm just glad Cypher can do this without me...' he thought, before a soft growl passed over his lips. While not entirely his fault, he was so going to be getting even with Kyto. Once he caught up with the mechanic that is...

Things had been going so well, till they had their impromptu shoving match, Kyto once again not realizing his own strength and pushing Gohrick into a water fountain with a laugh and running off.

Now, Gohrick wasn't the biggest Mithra, far from it actually, but even he realized that he shouldn't have to CLIMB out of a fountain. He stared down at himself, wearing a chibi version of the coat and pants he had on. He looked stared at the lighter fur he was covered in, as patted himself down, finding everything on his person was shrunk down to his size.

“Oh for the love of...Wow, even my voice sounds back when I was three or four...What happened!? I'm a freakin kitten again!?” he cried out, mewing sadly, before he reached behind him, going for his paintbrush, only to find...a normal paintbrush?

He stared at the wooden replica of his trusted friend and pouted before jumping off of the fountain.

“I have to find Cypher...meeting be damned,” he muttered, before tripping over his feet and landing hard on the ground. He mewed sadly, and realized this was going to be a very long hike...

Telira looked up at the sound of the violent cursing that was coming from a distance away and blinked as she saw a little girl dragging a huge stick. It briefly occurred to her that she wasn't the only one altered by the sudden drenching. Well, that made the transformation slightly more acceptable, but it didn't do anything about the nagging feeling in the back of her neck that said that... something was watching her.

Something that wasn't friendly.

She edged towards the girl, still wary, when she heard the mewling of a kitten and looked over to see a... catboy who had fallen flat on his face and was looking very sad and bedraggled.

She couldn't help herself. He was a little kitten. And girls just can't resist a kitten.

She walked over and helped him to his feet, impulsively hugging the adorable little catboy. "Hey, are you okay?"

The glowing eyes chortled as a goblin with a red stocking cap and patched vest and shorts emerged from the shadows. "Little kidses... so soft and tasty... I will eat will today..."

(Have fun with the Goblin. Newbie level, pwn with impunity, make it funny if possible. I have visions of a spitwad in the eye... *chuckle*)

Fury let a rare smile cross his face as he watched his girls play around the fountain. They laughed and giggled as one would chase the other around it, only to tag her and head in the opposite direction, becoming the escapist. Fury watched with joy as one of the very spare moments when he wasn't fighting and killing unfolded in front of him. It had been a long time since he had taken the girls out to another world to teach them the customs of said worlds. Fury believed that since all the worlds were now linked, his girls should have a leg up on most and know as much about these worlds as possible. They didn't see it as a learning exercise, though, because they got to have fun most of the time. Plus, heading to worlds he didn't usually frequent cut down on the possibility of someone interrupting and asking him to do a job.

Fury looked quizzically at his girls as they both run up to a very familiar little girl. He could have sworn that the girl looked exactly like an extremely young Shade. It confused him more that they seemed to already know this girl as they seemed to be very comfortable with her. While he was paying close to them, though, he did not notice the Mithra man get shoved towards where he was seated on the fountain's edge. The mithra crashed into him and sent him sprawling into the waters of the fountain.

Fury climbed out of the fountain and swore at the Mithra with every word he could think of. He realized he was blowing up in front of his daughters so he reached for his cigarettes to calm himself down. Opening the box, he continued to swear upon learning that his cigarettes were replaced with candy cigarettes.

He turned to yell to his girls that they were leaving before he did something he would regret when he realized that they were the same size as him. And then it hit him... That little girl looked like Shade, because it was Shade. He ran over to her and said, "What the hell is going on?" The whole time, his girls giggling at him

Gohrick found himself soon looking at a pair of small shoes, before looking up at the young girl staring down at him. He reached up and stood up, shaking off his pants and fur, before shaking his head.

“No...no, not alwight at all...” he said, before clearing his throat. Oh lords, he was even talking like a kitten again...stupid under developed tongue...

He then realized he was being hugged by the girl and hugged her back with a soft purr, before realizing that someone was yelling and cursing him out.

He turned and growled slightly, about the give him a piece of his mind, before he saw the two other girls and the boy that was the same size as him, but dressed like a military delinquent. He blinked a few times as he saw the boy walk towards another girl who looked...strangely familiar, and someone calling out for the girl.

No way...there was no way. This had to be some sort of strange and messed up prank...He turned back to the girl who helped him up and stared into her eyes.

“Um...” he thought was interrupted though, when he heard someone or something muttering about eating well today. He blinked and tilted his head, his over sized ears flopping slightly, staring into the dark alleyway.

The first individual Shade saw and approach was a slight shock to see. Genomes were a rare sight, especially when there was only one she knew of in existence to have a mind and soul of his own. So there wasn't a doubt in her mind as to who the child Genome was before he even said her name. Just as Shade opened her mouth to acknowledge him, a sudden realization struck through her mind like a lightning bolt. The last "youth" accident that happened to Shade was due to a young man by the name of Kaleb.... Zidane was friends with Kaleb..... her steel colored hues widened and she began to charge at Zidane with little stomps of her boots and her finger shot out pointing directly at the poor "youth" inflicted Genome. "YOU!! You know where he is, don't you?! I know Kaleb's behind this, Zidane! WHERE is he!" It didn't matter to her now that her voice sounded more like and angry mouse, her anger was relevant enough in her eyes and clenched fist at her side.


Before she would have a chance to get any answers, yet another kid was suddenly in her face and demanding answers out of her! How dare he! Like she had time for some sassy mouthed punk kid dishing orders out of her!? Shade glared right at the kid and leaned forward with all her authority she could muster to snap right back in his face. "Go figure out your own problems, kid! Can't you see I'm busy here? Just who do you think you are barging up to me and...." Shade's words came to an abrupt stop when seeing the two other little girls with the boy, then looked back to kid who snapped at her with widened eyes her jaw fallen lax. "......Oh Hynn, we're so screwed....."

Zidane was surprised to see that the girl was reacting to his calls but suddenly she started to point at him and yell at him like HE was the cause of this mess, causing him to frown or in this case pout a bit at the accusation as he then saw the other little kids and went through who they could be in his brain. The one with two little girls and the surly little mouth had to be Raven since he was the only one Zidane knew to behave as such even as a kid, the young woman was obviously Telira since Zidane never forgot a pretty woman's face even if said woman is a little kid now.....odd, and the cat was that Gohrick fellow he heard about from time to time.

After figuring that out though Zidane held his hand up and tried to smooth things over by then saying "Heeeyy heeeyyy I'm tellin ya I didn't have nuffin to do wif dis....I didn't even know he was here Shade.....so don't get mad at meh. So just calm down and lets try to think dis out.....instead of just blaming da dief........"

Zidane then saw Raven get all in Shade's face only for her to figure out who it is as well, Zidane shook his head a bit before he then said aloud "So does ANYONE know where dat stupid guy is at...?" Zidane then heard a sound too of something talking about food only to see some little goblin walk out of the shadows toward them. Zidane quickly drew out his weapons only to remember they were wooden and so he switched to his runes only to see little marble sized energy things fly out at speeds far too slow to actually be lethal.....painful maybe but lethal not in a million years.... Zidane then looked to the others and said "Guuuyyyssss we got us a pwoblem over here!"

Telira held her stick out like it was a sword. She really didn't know what else to do, but she figured that it couldn't hurt to play whack-a-goblin for a while. Especially since she didn't want the kitten to get hurt.

Kittens were just too cute!

"You stay back! You're not gonna hurt the kitty!"

The goblin, though, spied his first target and edged towards Fury's daughters. "Tasssty meat! Sssssweet meat! Little girls made of sugar and spice!" He brandished a gleaming metallic dagger with deadly intent.

Little did the goblin know that all hell was about to break even more loose.

Solita walked down the street wearing a long tight fitting white shirt that had covered most of the dark gray shorts she was wearing. Covering the shirt was a jacket which did not even cover her midrift all the way. She wore a holster on her thigh which her gun was at. On her feet, she wore white heels and a tiny backpack was on her back. It was just a few days ago Solita had arrived in Bevelle and stayed at a hotel. She stopped for awhile and scanned the area carefully. She had just avoided the rage of a wife whose husband just flirted with her or so, that's what she thought. Suddenly, Solita heard a familiar voice. "Hey you!" They shouted. Solita turned and saw the wife looking angrily at Solita, she held a cup in one hand. Then, before Solita could do anything about it got the hot contents of the cup splashed on her. Solita shrieked in pain. "That'll teach you." The wife said before walking away leaving Solita crumbled on the ground.

She stayed there for awhile waiting for the pain to go away. When she finally decided to stand up she put her hands on the ground. They looked smaller than usual. Solita lifted up her hands as she sat down the ground. She could see that they were smaller then usual. "What the heck?!" She jumped in surprise, ending up standing on her feet, right after that statement. The tone of her voice was higher then usual and it scared her. She looked down at her body and saw that her shirt was not even a shirt anymore, it was a dress. She lifted her head up then looked around everything was much more bigger.

Oh my gawd! She thought. Solita then immediately ran to a fountain. The image that she saw was herself, but it was Solita as a little girl. "OH MYZ GAAAAAWWWW!!" She screamed for some seconds. Once Solita caught her breath she then with a panic look, looked around. A group of kids caught her attention. Maybe this is some kind of local thing? She thought. Well...I won't know for sure unless I go talk to that group. Solita then ran up to the group, paying no attention to the goblin. Once she was close enough, Solita jumped and stood right next to one of the kids. She had then decided to act like what she remembered how she acted like as a kid. "Hi tere!" She said happily. Though she was a bit surprised at her there, without her control, changing into a tere. She then saw something gleam in the sun, turning her head she then finally noticed the goblin. "Oo a monzter." Solita said while clapping her hands and jumping. A bit of surprise came to her face again, with her s turning to a z. Looks like my speech is affected too. She thought. "Time to figh, figh, fight!" Solita then took out her gun, she noticed that it was a toy. She didn't let that get to her though and decided to pull the trigger anyway aiming it at the goblin's eyeballs. Tiny rubber bullets in the shape of a carrot came out, flying in the air toward the goblin's eyes. "Carwotz?!"

Fury's rage turned to a dead-pan stare at his sister when she made the crack about them all being screwed. He knew he could be excessive at times, but no one was really in danger... well, with the exception of whoever was responsible for this. Actually...

Fury turned to see the kitty that pushed him into the fountain and watched as another little girl picked him up. Fury took one step towards them when he noticed the little girl had a wooden stick out and pointed at something coming out of an alley way. He followed the goblin's sight-line to his daughters and heard the threat from his mouth. Fury stepped between the goblin and his girls just in time to hear Alivia shout out, "And everything nice!" Fury looked back over his shoulder at her and she ducked behind Serenity. Sometimes he wondered just how much of her mother she got in her.

But he pushed those thoughts aside. Instead, he reached for his pistol and drew it out, firing several shots at the goblin as it advanced. No matter how much he fired though, the goblin just kept coming. That's when he realized his bullets were actually foam darts and doing absolutely nothing to the goblin, save for making it madder. Fury let out a deep sigh before throwing the gun at the goblin's head, smashing it across the green man's face. As the gun knocked the goblin off balance, Fury rushed at him and pulled the dagger out of the goblin's hands. He flipped the dagger in the air and then stabbed it up through the soft point behind the chin. The goblin thrashed for a moment before going still.

The whole tie this happened, Serenity's eyes just got wider and wider. As he made contact with the goblin, she ducked behind Shade, creating a line behind her. The girls weren't the only ones to notice the scene unfold, though, as many adults stopped to stare at the crazed boy stabbing away at the goblin. It was a few moments after he was finished and calmed down before he noticed them. When he did, a scowl reappeared on his face and he brandished the dagger in their direction and said, "What are you looking at??!" The whole while, the girls were having a giggle fit again from the safety of behind Shade.

Gohrick found himself behind the nice girl who had helped him up, seeing her holding the stick like a sword at the goblin. He tilted his head once more, before deciding that he couldn't let a kid like this get hurt. He quickly unsheathed his paintbrush, before seeing that it was made of simple sandwood with very generic brush tips.

“What happened to my weapon?!” he cried out in shock, not noticing how badly it had been degraded. 'I couldn't block with this thing to save my life?' he thought, before shrugging and deciding to use what he had.

That was when another kid started to shoot carrots...carrots?...yes, carrots at the goblin. Just as he was about to step in, some other kid came up and started to stab the goblin dead, causing Goh to literally freeze in his steps.

'Kid...might need some counseling...or maybe a good shock treatment...' he thought, scratching the back of his head. He jumped as the kid yelled, causing Goh to look down at his feet.

“Nothing, looking at nothing, I swear,” he said, taking a few careful steps back.

Shade's face scrunched up angrily, being more annoyed at the site of this goblin creature rather than afraid, and even more irritated by his hissing lisp. It was like nails on a chalkboard to her nerves. But when it aimed its attentions upon her nieces, that was when the rage button flipped right on, even if one of her nieces decided it was more fun to carry out the creature's ridiculous rhyme rather than run for cover. Apparently Alivia inherited Fury's odd sense of humor when in a dangerous, or threatening situation.

Now, Shade naturally expected Fury to lunge first at the creature for threatening his children, but she blinked in disbelief when his gun only fired little foam balls...

and why were they such a disgusting shade of neon orange!?

Her instincts reacted before her mind even bore the thought, and by will, a much smaller version of her crossbow weapon formed upon her arm and her fingers immediately pulled against the triggers beneath the prod. She found herself taken back again when little plastic arrows flew out of the slots only to have tiny little suction cups at the ends where the arrow heads should be.

And now carrots were flying through the air!? What the hell was going on here!?

Instead of wasting time over the ludicrous mystery, Shade shielded her nieces behind her as her brother used his now worthless weapon as a bashing rock against the goblin before taking the creature's own weapon to use it successfully against it. Now rolling her eyes, Shade bowed her head to pinch the bridge of her nose over the whole odd dilemma as the two little girls behind her were now having a giggling fit over their 5 year old father trying to look and sound oh so threatening to what prying eyes dared to silently scorn his actions.

With the threat of the goblin now out of the way, Shade shuffled her feet toward the fallen ugly fiend to yank her little suction cup arrows stuck to its head with a resounding pop!---pop!---pop! when hearing a familiar voice answer to Fury's threat. Looking over her shoulder, Shade found another familiar face, recognizing Gohrick right away, even now with more kitten like features and his over sized ears practically drooping from being so startled by her brother's shouting words. With a roll of her eyes and a heavy sigh, her face pinched up with annoyance again as she swatted one of her little arrows across the back of Fury's head with an echoing thwack!, which led his daughters into another giggling fit. "Cool your britches there, bro! You're not the only one pissed off around here, ya know!" No doubt his payback for that would prove painful, but Shade's attention was now at those all within the group.

The other two females she didn't know, but Fury's other daughter, Serenity, seemed awfully curious about the bunny looking girl, staring at her long ears with wide fascination in her eyes. Meanwhile, Alivia was leaning toward Gohrick, and Shade could see her little fingers were just twitching like crazy to pet his ears. Shade planted her small hands upon her hips looking about the group and trying to assess the damage done. Thus far, there were six of them apparently inflicted with this youth dilemma, and Shade was quite possibly the only one who knew the reasons for such a mess.

I think our best course of action is to regroup, stay as a group, and locate who's respwon...respwonsa..... respwansawble....." Looking confused, Shade made spitting noises with her lips before attempting to speak again, but now with a more snappish tone to get her words out right. "We find who did this!" Her gaze now redirected back to Zidane, who was unknowing to Alivia's curiosity watching his swaying tail. "Do you have any idea as to where Kaweb is right now?" Before Shade got an answer, she blinked when hearing her speech muddled again, then her little eyes narrowed and her face began to grow bright red as she turned her back to group to scream as loud as she could. "KAAAAWWWEEEBBBBB!!!! I AM SO GOING TO KIIIWWW YOUUU FOR THIS!!!"

Zidane watched as the others attacked the goblin with varying levels of disbelief at the results of their attacks only being little kid versions of what they should be, he then watched as Raven jumped the Goblin and started to stab it to death with its own weapon but considering it threatened what Zidane was to assume Raven's kids it was understandable. So when Raven yelled at them about why they looking at him Zid just said "Oh nuffin just watchin a kid sized dad go cwazeh on a gobwin, hehe...." Zidane wasn't scared of Raven at the moment though once they grew up the Genome made a note to be a bit weary of the guy's act of revenge. But once Shade thwacked Raven up side the head Zidane had to snicker a bit at the two, they were just like how little brother and sister would act at this age......it was......cute in a way.

Zid then looked around at the group they had gathered up and seeing the bunny girl Zid then said "Sowita is dat you......it is isn't it....wow......ya cuter as a kid dan I guessed......too bad Victor not here, he would of been shocked to see ya like dis." Zidane wasn't that bothered by all this youth stuff and figured they would get everything settled sooner or later. It was then that Zid heard Shade talking to him which made the little genome look over his shoulder at her nonchalantly, he then shrugged a bit to her question only to then arch his left eyebrow at her screaming to the heavens. He then said "Uhhhhh.......ya do know that would make him fwee from us if he knows how ticked off ya are........so best to cool it.....da guy is fast enough to give me a wun for my when I was normal.....like dis......I dun think I can catch him. So wets just wook for him.....he gotta be awound here somewhere....." As he talked he didn't pay attention to any of the little girls that might be eyeballing his tail, the little thing just swishing back and forth behind him like a snake of sorts.

Alanna snuck past the guards and citizens and followed the shouting voices past an odd-looking fountain, all the way to a location just past that fountain. She hid behind a pillar and watched as the little kids (she'd call them that even though she was pretty much one herself) took down a goblin. From what Michael had told her, not a big feat for a normal person ("Goblins are basically cannon fodder." she remembered him saying. "They're only good if you're looking to appease a dragon.") but according to Alanna, a big deal for someone smaller than her. She peeked around the pillar and started rubbing her hands together in preparation for the only spell she could use without Michael nearby for that extra mana.

Her spying skills needed work, actually, since Michael only focused on her magic instead of the really fun stuff. Most of the time she was either found out immediately, or she gave herself away by giggling too much. Like now.

As strange as it was on a clear and cloudless day, Tifa found herself surprisingly having to wipe away a splash of rain from her face. Almost instantly, she felt an odd sensation begin to grow inside her as she walked along towards the sound of a great commotion. It began with a slight tingling on her cheek where the raindrop fell, then upon the fingertips she used to wipe it away. She casually shrugged it off as nothing since having been sprayed by a whole lot worse working in 7th Heaven, and continued on her way, walking passed a row of small shops and quaint little cafes. After travelling a few steps further down the road Tifa was forced to stop suddenly in her tracks when a strange sensation began to spread through her entire body. Her hand instinctively reached out to steady herself and grabbed the back of a chair that stood outside one of the small cafes, nearly toppling it over with her sudden, faltering weight before balancing herself carefully. Looking down at her hand she was stunned to see it shrink before her eyes. “What the…”

As the rest of her body followed suit, the sound of small items falling to the ground could be heard. Tifa looked down at her body in time to see her most famous assets shrink away to nothing and everything she kept in that region fall out of the bottom of her shirt and crash to the floor. Tifa had almost forgotten how much she kept in there, slowly bending down to pick up her items before getting back up and realizing that she was the same height as the chair. Stomping her foot down, an expression of annoyance ran across Tifa's face as she thought of her previous height. "I was already short as it was." Her lips puckered into a pout as Tifa walked towards a table after noticing the long tablecloth that swayed against the wind. "Zack will never let me live this down"

She tugged at the tablecloth and managed to pull it off the table without bringing too much of the table contents with it and spread it flat on the ground. She plopped herself down on the cold pavement and began throwing her belongings onto the chequered fabric. Soon there was a pile of small packets of peanuts, pens, and various other things in the centre. Satisfied that she had rounded up all her lost belongings, Tifa folded the edges into the middle and tied them into a knot, a task that became more difficult than she remembered with her now small hands. She hoisted the makeshift bag over her shoulder and looked around to see which direction she should go in and a small girl caught her eye “where…” The girl interrupted her before she could utter another word and simply pointed across the road “Over there. Don’t worry you get used to it, this is my third time this month” With that, she turned her back on Tifa and walked back inside the café.

Tifa shook off her bemusement and began walking in the direction that she was pointed in. The sound of children shouting grew louder as she quickened her pace as fast as her now little legs would take her. She turned the corner and found herself in a large area with a large fountain surrounded by children. She scanned the crowd for any clues as to the cause of her present predicament and was stunned to see a familiar, if not younger, face. “SHADE?!”

The world was spinning ever faster, the ground was rising up to meet him and Genesis could do nothing. Trying with all his might he called for his lone wing to appear but nothing was happening. His blue eyes narrowed as his over sized coat and foam sword whipped around him as the wind smashed against his body. Well there was nothing more he could do but take it. In an instant he was at the ground smashing right into Shades head. The last thoughts that passed through his mind were a string of cusswords followed by the phrase "lord help me." A loud crash echoed as his momentum forced the two of them into the ground as mushroom cloud of dust bursted forth. Pain shot through Genesis body as he let out a high octave groan.

Telira shook her head in disbelief. No sooner was the goblin dispatched in a VERY definitive manner then another person arrived...

Only this one fell out of the sky with a single black wing.

And he landed on top of one of the other kids.

Tel knew that this wasn't going to be good, not for anyone, but she had to help. She petted the kitty-boy on the arm and smiled at him. "Be good and don't run away, okay?"

Then she ran up to where the cloud of dust was starting to settle and pulled the new arrival off of Shade. "Are you okay? Why'd you fall outta the sky like that?" She frowned. "And why do you only got one wing?"

Gohrick sighed slightly and scratched the back of his head. What on earth was going on? His blue eyes took in the view of all the 'children' around him, and the more he did, the more he realized how bad the situation was really becoming.

“We rrrrrrealy need to do something...” he muttered, blinking in mild shock as he realized that he had redeveloped the typical Mithra rolling of the r's.

'Great...just what I needed...' he thought, sighing once more, before jumping in surprise as someone just randomly landed in a heap right in front of them all. He jumped back and hissed in shock, before shaking his head and recomposing himself, blushing slightly under the dark fur.

He simply nodded his head as the girl next to him petted his arm and told him to stay.
“Trrrrust me, I have no plans on going anywhere,” he said softly.

He tilted his head though, his oversized ears flopping slightly as he started to slowly follow after Telira, and stared at the boy with one wing. His head tilted to the other side as he reached out and lightly pawed at the wing, his kitten curiosity overriding common sense at the moment, not even realizing that the boy had landed on Shade.

Shade was left brooding with a deep scowl across her childish face as she listened to Zidane's claim about Kaleb, and already knowing it was true, when suddenly Shade heard her name shouted from a distance. She turned her head just in time to see another little girl, and after squinting for a moment, she recognized it was Tifa! Tifa was little too!? How did she get thrown into this mess!? Yet just as Shade raised her hand and waved Tifa over, she was about to take a step toward her friend when another sound caught her attention and paused her from moving. It was a strange whistling sound.... like one would hear as a massive boulder was soaring from a great height, much like in a cartoon program....and it was growing slightly louder with each passing second.

Something in the back of Shade's mind told her not to look.... just don't look up... but she did.... and for a split second just before the crash, all Shade saw was red and all Shade heard was her own piercing scream before silenced by the inevitable collision. Now crushed to the ground flat on her stomach, she groaned with a broken voice and mentally swore every bone in her body was broken. “I knew... the goddess hated me.... but this is...weediculous....” Little did Shade realize how close her words struck home until she scrambled across the ground, freeing herself from the weight of whatever struck her to then roll over and sit up, only now to face Genesis.... well.... a much smaller, kidified Genesis. After several blinks of disbelief, she was finally able to sputter. “You? You too!?” Her palm slapped over her face as she slowly shook her head. If she never saw Genesis pissed before, she was about to for sure.


So with yet another heavy sigh, Shade struggled to her feet with little “oomphs” and "grunts" while muttering curses under her breath to then offer the fallen red head her hand if he needed help up. Unfortunately for Genesis, that was when his wing decided to whoosh out from his back a bit too late. “I think that was your best entrance yet, Mr. Whapsosdus.” Her eyes suddenly shot wide open and her gloved hand slapped over her mouth. This was NOT happening! She refused to have a lisp!


Just then...from the corner of her eye, Shade caught Gohrick's feline curiosity naturally piqued and his paw reaching out to bat at the wing, so she tactfully positioned herself between the Mithra and the SOLDIER in hopes to hide Gohrick's playful antics. She even bent down slightly, acting as if she were brushing off dirt from her knee, to then swiftly snatch up a random black feather from the ground and jerk it behind her back with wiggling motions to divert Gohrick's attentions safely away from Genesis' wing.


Suddenly, Shade's sharp gaze caught sight of her summons dashing across the street. The very reason she was here in the first place! Stupid squirrel! He was always leaping into every cursed teleporting portal ever since that damn multiplex was built and activated, making it virtually impossible for Shade to keep her wayward hyper summons under control and in one PLANET for more than five minutes! But she didn't dare give chase to Skittles now! Not with her hot headed brother about to explode, and possibly Genesis as well from a cat boy simply wanting to play with a giant wing due to his kitten instinctive nature. So it was no wonder that she didn't see the multi colored rodent go scrambling up some little giggling girl's leg and up her back only to climb up onto her head and play with her hair with happy squirrel chitter-chatter.


So now.....Shade did the only thing she knew to do when finding herself in a crazy chaotic mess that was beyond her control...... "TIFAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Solita just stood there and watched as the goblin was getting beaten up. Wish I thought of throwing my gun at the goblin. She thought. She began to not pay attention to what the boy who beaten the goblin, was doing soon after that. Instead, she just let her eyes wander everywhere, until they stopped due to a boy talking to her. "Sowita is dat you......it is isn't it....wow......ya cuter as a kid dan I guessed......too bad Victor not here, he would of been shocked to see ya like dis." "Ne?" She said. Then realizing a second afterward, she had said that outloud accidentally. Victor...She thought. She then shook her head to clear her mind. "Thank you," She said her reply to the cute comment. uh...I don't know this guy's name at all. But I do remember meeting him. She thought. I should probably ask, soon. She then let her eyes wander again, and could see someone peeking at the group from a pillar but she didn't take it as anything suspicious and moved on. It was then another kid joined the group, who yelled out. "SHADE?!" Who is Shade? Solita thought. Hmm... Though her thoughts were soon interuppted by someone falling in a sky and landing on the ground, making dust come up everywhere. Solita did her best to cover her mouth, nose and eyes from the dust using both her hands and ears. Once the dust cleared she uncovered everything before looking at the scene in front of her. Once it seemed like everything was okay to her she moved on to letting her eyes wander everywhere. Though her attention was caught by a voice screaming, "TTTTTIIIIIIIIIFFAAAAAAAA!" Who is Tifa? Solita thought. "Um...excuse me. If it isn't too much trouble can we like all introduce who we are?" Solita paused. "I'm Solita Quinette, I'm from The Planet or Gaia. Though...I never seen another bunny person like me over there. Which is why I am traveling the worlds, well that and I just wanted to travel. And I am not a kid, I'm usually 16 years old." She said.

Zidane by now was more or less getting bored of all this since one moment he trying to explain out a plan the next people are falling out of the sky and crashing onto others just to set off another wave of yelling. Okay bored wasn't the right word he just getting confused and bothered by all the chaos so he just arched his left eyebrow and slowly backed out of the group, as he did so he just said softly "Okaaaayyyy......well I'ma just goin to go look for Kaweb..you guyz enjoy.....doin wat evah you doin..." But before Zid could get very far he saw a two young mithran ladies talking not too far away and so he casually walked up to them and tried to lay his moves on them.

"Hi dere pwetty ladiez, my name is Zidane nice to meet cha." "Huh...*looks down at Zidane* Awwwww how cute a little Mithran kit." "Aww a boy one too, my name is Claire cutie." "Oh ya my name is Neith." "Claiwe and Neith....dose some pwetty namez you ladiez have, but do ya know if you seen a guy with gwassez an-" was all Zid could say before suddenly getting snatched up by the two girls as they snuggled and hugged him tightly, the two girls kissing and smooshing him between their breast leaving the genome in one happy little place. But he did remember that he was suppose to be doing something else so started to squirm for freedom in a bid to get away, but the mithran girls would not let him go as boy mithrans were rare even if they thought though only because of mistaken identity. This of course left Zidane in a sticky situation and really hoped those others would stop bickering long enough to give him some help....light right now...

When she saw the squirrel rushing towards Alanna, the first thing she did was take in its appearance like Michael had taught her. Of course, after that, the thought that went through her head was Familiar! right before letting her spell loose just as the oddly-colored squirrel leapt to, as Alanna thought, attack her. With eyes closed and hands outstretched, she heard her Thunder spell (which she had appropriately and lovingly named "BZZT!" after the sound it made when released) blast outward. Even after it finished a few seconds later, she still wouldn't open her eyes. She didn't wanna see just what kind of damage she'd caused. All she needed to know was that she had probably blasted the Familiar with the full force of her spell, and that she wasn't likely to be bothered by it again.

Of course, that still left the fact that she had given herself away.
