Chapter 6:Road to the Evil Sorceress II

[Hadrian D'arcell]

ROFL! Wow! 30 minutes with that chick down there Mmmmmnotgood XD
------------------------------------

Hadrian wondered if the chimney he entered was a chimney or a rollercoaster to hell because once he finally pulled to a stop, he found himself covered in soot and splinters. He coughed and brushed himself. Looking like a cactus that had just emerged from an ash fall definitely wasn't his idea of style.

Crawling out of the fireplace, he was taken aback by the sight of a well-spacious living room in front of him. A nauseating perfume perforated the air.

Wait...wasn't I supposed to be in a small cottage? Hadrian lurked his gaze around, wrinkling his forehead. There was no sign of Seifer, Quistis, and Selphie anywhere. From this moment on, he felt something was off. Okaaay, this doesn't look good. He was going to holler back to his teammates when a woman's voice called his name.

"Oh?" His eyebrow lifted and he turned to where the sound was. Sitting provocatively on the red couch was a voluptuous woman with an auburn flowing hair. Her face resembled that of the girl Odendria--except she was a woman, more enchanting, and more....

"Didn't know there's a chick here," Hadrian smirked and fixed his shirt. "How did you know my name?"

Her eyes looked straight towards his, and suddenly, he felt overwhelmed. There was something about this lady that was not right, to the point that the entire living room melted away and all he could see was her. It was as if all he could admire was her. The woman smiled.

Hadrian's smirk faded. There was no way this woman be that same girl who had yet to hit puberty. She called him to her side, and he couldn't let every inch of his body defy her. Why?

Who is this woman? Hadrian thought, his eyes lowering from her eyes to her lips. What is this feeling? Stopping in front of the mysterious lady, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Bewilderness was written all over his face, and all he could think of was this goddess before him. The sensation was overwhelming that it was driving him insane. And the weird thing about it was, it felt....good. Why am I here again?

"I've been lonely..." she whispered sadly, looking up to him. "Will you stay here beside me?" She raised her hand for him to kiss.

Hadrian would've been cursing himself for all the mushy thoughts that he was entertaining inside his head over this one lady, but it was just that...He couldn't resist her.

What the hell...Am I falling in love now? Hadrian tried to rebuke his thoughts. There was no girl in the world worthy enough for him to stoop this low. None at all.

He pushed her hand aside and slowly wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning his head on her chest. She smelled so good.

"Sure, I'll stay right here..." His voice became soft and longing.

The woman chuckled, and played with his hair, leaning her back on the sofa. "You are such a dear..." She let Hadrian bury his head on her neck. "Don't let me go now, okay?"

"Never."

Rayden

Soon, you find yourself buried in ashes and splinters as you crash down the fireplace. As soon as you emerge from it, the sight of Hadrian comfortably lying on the couch with his head on a woman's lap welcomes you. You are in a very wide living room. There's no sign of Seifer, Quistis, and Selphie whatsoever. You hear the giggle of the woman and Hadrian's chuckle again, and it pisses you off. Now you know why Hadrian ditched the whole group. As you approach the guy for a good punch, you catch the woman's eyes and she greets you.

"Oh, who is this handsome stranger?" She smiles at you, and suddenly, you find yourself attracted to her. Too attracted that it washes away the frustration that you were feeling a moment ago. Weird as it may, the thought of getting to know her more poisons all the senses in your head and the sight of Hadrian next to her suddenly becomes bothersome.

At that moment, Hadrian sits up and flashes you a dirty look. "Handsome? You call that loser handsome? Heh," He sounds jealous. "Listen weirdo, why don't you do us a favor and get lost? You're disturbing the peace here."

The woman doesn't seem to pay attention to Hadrian's words and continues to stare at you with an inviting look.

You peeps better jump now XD

[Jax Ridean]

"If you don't wanna follow you can try finding another way in, but good luck to that." Rayden yelled before he too slid down the chimney.

Jax stole a quick glance at Stella who remained motionless, her eyes were narrowed in a way that said she wasn't planning on going down that chimney.

He mumbled to her, "You know he's right. Plus, we can't leave our boy Hadrian in the dark can we?"

He shrugged his shoulders and turned to the others.

"Right boys, I'm heading up now. I expect one of you to stay behind with our little miss here" he smirked, "if she decides to stay put."

With a firm footing on the chains, Jax began climbing, becoming the third person to haul himself up the roof.

Right before he jumped down the chimney, he yelled down, "Don't sit on your asses out here too long, eh?" With that, he shot down the dark tunnel.

He was falling fast, twisting, turning, trying to grab hold of something that would slow him down. Suddenly, the chute ended. The moment his feet hit the ground, Jax pulled out Ravaner, his finger poised on the trigger.

Taking the time to check out his surroundings, he was stunned to find himself in the middle of a lavish room, complete with expensive furniture, chandeliers, and rare antiquities. Lifting the lid of a golden teapot, Jax couldn't help but look the at the strange markings that covered the lid.

What the hell are we dealing with...?


"Hadrian! Rayden!" he called out.


A loud moan answered him.

[Stella]

"I think... I'll just wait out here and keep watch" Stella said quietly mostly to herself as she watched Jax head down the chimney.

[ST]

Lol aww Stella ^.^ .... *conceals evil mask*
----------------------------------


Jax

Right after you called Hadrian and Rayden, you quickly spot them standing face to face with each other as if they are about duel. In the midst of them is a gorgeous woman who has just latched her eyes on you. She looks familiar. You notice something wrong about the whole scenario, but her intoxicating scent gets to you and you feel extremely drawn to her--so drawn, it's hard to resist those eyes.

Coyly pushing aside Rayden and Hadrian, she approaches you and says, "Welcome. " She wraps her arms around your neck. "Would you like to join my party?" Her red lips smiles.

Without any warning, Hadrian storms over to you and punches you square on the jaw, pushing you away from the girl. "There's more where that came from," he spat, smirking cruelly. "I found her first so back off."

[Diego Stanton]

Deo hesitated before going down the chimney.

"You sure you want to stay out here alone.. with Sho?" he asked Stella. He gave her a look that clearly said 'you're making a mistake.'

With that, he slid down into the black abyss. He entered the mansion just in time to see Hadrian full on punch Jax in the face.

What the..!?

He looked over at Rayden for some kind of explanation and was taken aback when a woman caught his eye. A woman unlike any Deo had seen before.

He stared at her, unable to look away. Her auburn hair flowed with unnatural beauty and her skin was so pale and smooth that she almost glowed. She was perfect in every aspect.

Deo knew, in some part of his rational mind that no woman could ever look as beautiful as the one he was staring at right now. He understood that his attraction to her was distorted, yet he was unable to stop himself from lusting for her.

Deo suddenly knew what he had to do. All he had to do was get rid of any competition to have the woman, it was so simple. He slowly reached into his bag of explosives.

I'll just blow Hadrian and Jax up while they're busy fighting Deo thought with an insane rush of excitement.

[waterlily43]

Rayden let his gaze linger over the woman's figure, her face and the delicious fire red smile that curved her lips so seductively. Strange, he never felt this out of control in front of a woman to the point he felt even himself was disappearing. And heck, he didn't even mind. All that mattered was having this woman all to himself.

He glared at Hadrian and then Jax. Didn't they know to leave when they weren't needed? Didn't they know the meaning of gooseberry? Probably not but he was going to make them.

"You wanna fight take it outside!" He growled, stalking up to them and kicking both of them in the shins. Deo approached them with a hand in his bag. "And what are you up to?" He eyed Deo suspiciously, standing closer to the woman. He slinked an arm protectively around her waist. Nobody could touch her but him! "Back off she's mine."

[Hadrian D'arcell]

Holy crap! *sings* Meet me in the TRAP, it's going down!
Meet me in the cottage, it's going down!
Meet me in the fireplace, it's going down!
Anywhere you meet me guaranteed it's going down!

W00hoo war baby XD
-----------------------------------------------------

Hadrian yelped when he felt someone kick his shin. It was just then that he noticed Deo's presence. Since when did he get here? And he was holding a bag of explosives too.

"Back off she's mine!" Rayden announced as he slung his arm around the mysterious woman. Hadrian felt like killing all of his teammates. Heh...since when are they my teammates?

Hadrian cackled loudly. "I see...I see how it is," he said. "You bastards just proved how much of a snake you could be!" He pointed to the other guys, his expression turning grim.

The woman giggled, snuggling closer to Rayden. "Now now boys...don't fight over me." Nothing but sick amusement was written in her seductive face.

Hadrian didn't waste a moment and grabbed Deo's bag before he could ever light his bombs. He swung the bag forcefully on Deo's head, aiming to crack his skull. He was dead serious in killing all of them. "There's no way she's going to pick a bum over me!"

Running towards Rayden he tackled him to the ground and hit him with Deo's bag on the face. He slung the bag away from him and hit Jax in a fluke, the impact sending the bombs scattered on the ground.

Filled with fury, Hadrian strangled Rayden. "How can she choose a loser like you, huh?!" He had never felt this murderous instinct over anyone before. And more importantly, it was all for a girl. There was something wrong here, but it felt right. "I'll end your misery right here!" He tightened his grip on his neck.

[ST]

Sho and Stella

Being on stand-by on top of the chimney, you hear someone cackling down below, and then shouting ensues. In a second, you hear chaos down below. There seems to be a battle taking place inside.

[miyavi]

Sho swore. He had the god-awful feeling his teammates weren't fighting enemies down there.

For the love of everything good and holy, are they bickering AGAIN?

Sho scowled, glancing up at Stella with a long-suffering look. "I'm going down there," he told the woman, already climbing in. "If we're not out in... what, ten minutes?-- go in with guns blazing-- errr, through a door.. or window or something." Because nothing but a deep dislike of chimneys could've made Stella so adamant about staying outside; Sho thought he knew enough about the woman to know that she wasn't a coward.

He jumped down nimbly, his lean body fitting easily down the narrow space, and when he fell into the house he was greeted by his teammates-- how did I know I was going to be right about them killing each other--?

Sho blinked. And with them was a very, VERY beautiful woman.

[waterlily43]

Rayden felt himself go limp, his vision blurring. Hadrian was strangling him, cutting off most of the oxygen with his strong grip. But then the thought of losing the woman to the likes of him just would not settle at all with him. Mustering his last bit of strength, he brought up his knee, hard, into Hadrian's stomach, throwing the man off him and quickly planting a few more hard kicks into the same spot.

"This is to make sure you don't try anything funny." Rayden sneered down at Hadrian. "You're lucky I don't kick you where it matters."

He made his way towards the lady of his desire again only to see a technicolour head gawping at the same woman. "And WHAT do you think you're looking at?" He scowled at Sho. "Geez they just keep coming in like bugs don't they? I suppose they're all after the same kind of honey." He turns towards the woman with a sickening leer.

---------------------------------

omg... someone teach him a lesson I can't stand him myself -_-

[Jax Ridean]

Springing from the behind the couch, Jax suddenly appeared, with Ravaner aimed at all four of them.

"Alright all of you! Back off!" He cocked the rifle.


"Unless one of you wants some metal in your skull."

[ST]

Aww, how cute, they're killing each other! XD Dude, I'm cracking up right now LOL
---------------------------------------------------------

Sho

You have always had eyes for Celeste, but there is something about this woman that you have never seen anywhere else--even from your wife. As her gaze meets yours, you forget your purpose and are instantly drawn to her--so drawn, your sense of reason tells you that it's not normal to want a woman this badly. However, you can't find it in you to resist in any way. You want her. That's what your heart and mind is screaming.

"And WHAT do you think you're looking at?" Rayden scowls at you. "Geez they just keep coming in like bugs don't they? I suppose they're all after the same kind of honey." He turns towards the woman with a sickening leer.

But then, with all these men in the room, your chances are slim. Cutting off their heads would be a good way to solve things.

"Alright all of you! Back off!" Jax cocks the rifle and aims it at you and the other boys. "Unless one of you wants some metal in your skull."

~*~

The woman laughed once again. Looks like they're allll here, Odendria. she thought to herself. Men are such foolish creatures as always.

"My, my....how passionate you all are," she drawled, placing a hand on her waist. "I like that in a man, but...Unfortunately, I can't choose all of you." She smiled. "How about it, the last man standing gets to have me." Her eyes flickered. "I'll make all your fantasies come true."

[Hadrian D'arcell]

"Damn y-you...Rayden," Hadrian hissed as he writhed on the floor in pain from being kicked in the gut. He wasn't done yet. As he pulled himself up, Jax threatened them all with his rifle.

Hadrian's fighting spirit instantly skyrocketed when the woman declared a deathmatch duel with her as the prize. That was all he needed to hear.

"Last man standing indeed." Smirking, Hadrian punched his palm and turned to Jax. "OooOOoh, how scary... Let's all bow down to Jax and his rifle!" he mocked.

"Thundaga!!" Hadrian casted, striking Jax with a powerful peals of lightning, shattering the living room floor within 6-foot radius. The current ran through the rifle and it flew across the room, fried.

He doubted Jax was dead, but making him suffer more wouldn't be a bad idea. "Serves you right!" He chuckled maniacally. "Now, which bastard is next?!"


--------
Oh! They can summon GFs, but their GFs can't communicate with them since their mind is blocked. >) *lights candles for Hadrian* -_-

[Jax Ridean]

Thrown to the floor, Jax was sent into spastic convulsions as electric shock waves rushed through his body.

Leering over him was Hadrian, with a cruel smirk plastered on his face.

"Serves you right!" He chuckled maniacally. "Now, which bastard is next?!"


With his back turned, he was unable to spot Jax who was slowly back on his feet.


"Blizzaga!"


He had drawn the magic from the other SeeD himself. The corona of green light materialized over Hadrian into a freezing block of ice.


Suddenly, the crystalline mass shattered. Millions of jagged ice shards hailed across the room, cutting through all in its path.
