Ariana was in east asia, in the country of China. She figured she would be able to learn some of the culture while being able to pick up some of there famous versions of martial arts while traveling on the silk road. Many merchants would travel this long and deadly road, just to sell there products, though she didn't spot too many on this warm night.
Ariana looked up into the sky, her golden eyes sparkling in the mid-night moonlight. She was startled by a sudden movement in the brush "Must have been a rabbit..." she said not bothering to search the are telekinetically. So she continued on with her travels, she took a couple steps and froze, hearing a voice who broke into her mental locks of her brain.
[glow=red,2,300]You, you are who they call the balanced one....[/glow] The voice was demonic and evil, and would make any normal person shudder in fear, and lose their insanity.
"Yes" she said out loud, not being able to locate the person who hacked into her brain.
[glow=red,2,300]Then ye be warned, travel any further, and you will perish under the might of evil, you have held us down too long.[/glow] The voice spoke in a low warning tone, trying to threaten and scare her away.
"But do I not aid the evil ones when they are on the short end?" She said witty-ly out-loud once more.
[glow=red,2,300]Though, you never let us get ahead[/glow] the voice snapped angrilly.
"Only as far as good can go, and no further" she said aloud again, this time feeling something strange in the pit of her stomach.
[glow=red,2,300]We will break free from your grasp[/glow] the voice said fading into the depths of her mind.
With that a wave of psychic power left her brain, causing gashes in anything that was within three feet of her cranium. "This is not good..." Her eyes flashed, and began to pulse and glow with a psychic aura as she sent a message to any strong warriors to come assist her in setting the balance of good and evil.

Like a comet the black fire disk which Six used to travel streaked across the sky. Though from below he just appeared as a shadow racing through the stars. Soon he was over the ocean and before morning he hoped to reach asia. He was heading to Burma to meet some archaeologist friends who thought he'd be interested in their latest find. After traveling for almost an hour with nothing to look at but water and stars Six began to be aware of an energy flowing in to his mind. Like waves crashing against the shore he could feel the energy coming in then a short calm before the feeling would grab him again. After about half a minute it stopped and a message began to form in his mind.
"Looks like Burma with have to wait." he thought as he forced all of the energy he could spare in to propelling his black fire disk through the air. His speed built up until the water below became a blur of shadows and moonlight twisting and turning as though they were alive. Within a couple of hours he had reached Qindao on the chinese coast. Carefully he had followed a minute heat signature left by the psychic message as it moved through the air vibrating particals as it traveled.
Before long the signature came to an end and Six could see a woman clearly in the moonlight. Slowly he decended to the ground, giving the girl a chance to see him coming so as not to startle her. He stepped off of his black fire disk and allowed it to fade into nothingness.
"Was it you that sent the message asking for assistance?" He questioned, locking eyes with the girl.

"Yes, I summoned all strong warriors to gather in this spot, on the silk road" Ariana spoke, her dual vocal cords activating. She sounded like she came from heaven and hell at the same time. "The forces of evil are gathering, and are going to destroy me, they want to upset the balance between good and evil..."

"In that case I'd like to offer my services, the name's Six." The fire user said holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you."

Ariana extended her hand, and she felt heat "Ah I see a fellow fire adept, I know many elements, but fire and wind are my best..." she paused using bad english. "Excuse me, my english is bad" She grasped six's hand and shook it vigorously.
"Well, first we need to track the demon, I couldn't get a trace on him, his mental powers are very strong, but if I was given time, I think I might be able to locate him"
Ariana sat down on the soft ground and folded her legs together, and a purple aura began about her. It intensified, and she soon resembled a bon fire of psychic energy. She closed her eyes, and a strained look crossed her face. "I have a hunch..." she said letting her energy down. "But you will never believe it..." she stood up slowly "It seems we have to go after the ruler of the country.... This is not good..." she said "The people of this country will most definitley want to protect their ruler..."

"We have to go after the Emperor of China?!" Six exclaimed "How do you suggest we go about that?"
The fire user looked up at the stars. He had fought a lot of people, never one with a country full of people at his disposal though. If they were to manage this they would need help, two people couldn't do this alone.

"Well..." She said cathing the thought off of his mind "we could do it. There is just a slim chance... we need to prepare!"
Ariana sat down, and began to scan the area with her mind. She opened her eyes "We head farther east, there is a village there. We will find our answers there, though on our journey to this village, we must be careful, remember the demon could strike at any time!"

"Let's get going then, you'd probably be better leading the way. I have a tendency to get lost." Six said rather sheepishly. "We should try and cover as much ground as possible before the sun comes up. That way we can avoid any other unwanted encounters."

"What classifies as an unwanted encounter, may I ask?" A silky, sinister voice came from the shadows as a dark female form emerged from nearby cover. She held an arm up, hiding her face behind a set of spines that extended from her elbow by almost two feet. "I came here to research an evil beast of old, so that I may slay it and it's wielder." The girl had an aura that indicated low-level demonic power, but there was something else to her as well.
She vanished once more, reappearing behind the two. "I see you're here, Six."
OOC: Natalie.

Ariana attempted to read her mind. "I see that your not demonic, but there is something in your presence." She turned around and looked into her eyes intently "What about you... hmmm...." she shrugged it off "We can use your power, let us make haste..."
Ariana was engulfed by flames, and dissappeared into the ground. Soon, she shot into the air and was flying in the direction of the capital of China.

Natalie vanished, replaced by a ferocious looking bird of prey. She thought to herself in dismay. At night, there were no good thermals for them to ride, so she'd need to flap her way there... Mayhaps... She disappeared again, instantly becoming a large bat. She flapped after Ariana, hurtling through the inky black of nighttime.

Six raised an eyebrow "That girl has issues." With a click of his fingers a black fire disk appeared. Jumping on, the fire user was soon speeding after Ariana and Natalie.

Soon, they arrived to the outskirts of there destination. "Lets stop here...." she said telepathically to her companions. They landed in the middle of the forest that surrounded the town. "We walk from here, honestly, do they need to see a bat, and a flaming girl flying through the air?"
Ariana looking like she did, hoped that she wouldn't attract too much attention, she definitely was not of this country.
"Lets go..."

"So you mean that there's people in this world who STILL haven't adjusted to the presence of beings beyond the normal pale? That's kinda funny when you think about it. I mean, really, people. It's not like there aren't thousands of destroyed cities due to all of the power houses walking around." Nat flickered like the channel changing on a television, and her clothes transformed into a much more common looking garb, muted and earthy. Her hair was now loose, hanging far down her back. She smiled a little. "I'll try my best to blend in."

"Well, you see, we need to be 'normal people' or they might be in fear of being invaded." Ariana said as-a-matter-a-factly. They walked through the woods, and soon was at the gate of the city. They entered slowly, and began to navigate there way through the village.
There was a lot of workers, some with barrel's full of rice on their backs, and many peddlers hear and there. They all looked at the foreigners oddly, not being of their nationality, they were confused. "The castle is this way..." Ariana urged the group to hurry and make it to the building, which held the ruler of this land. They had to figure a way to enter the castle.

"I can do something small if you need stealth. If anybody is guarding against every rat, fly, mosquito, headlouse, and bird passing through, then they'd be extremely paranoid. Like Kim Jong Il stuff. So I can secure a back entrance or something for you." Nat whispered into Ariana's ear, trying to be discrete about her plotting. She pointed at a man's wares for sale, as if discussing prices, to help allay suspicions.

Ariana nodded "This is what we will do, you will sneak in and take out the gaurds gaurding the back entrance, I will meet you there. I will have a mental cloak on to block any intruders for our plan. Then we will enter the castle, search for the demon, mean while taking out any gaurds on the way. Sounds like a plan?" Ariana smiled at some products at a stand.

"Sounds good to me." Six said fixing the collar of his trenchcoat. "I'm ready to kick some demony ass."

"Here goes." Nat walked behind a stall, as if she had seen something, and a moment later, a pigeon flapped out from behind the booth. It quickly cleared the market-place, and headed directly for the biggest, grandest building in the entire city. It circled the building twice, and then landed and disappeared, replaced by a small insect.
Nat crept under the door, and then took the form of a small songbird. That was probably her form with the best perception for its size. She took to the air, and noticed a trio of guards in sophisticated modern body armor. No problem for her.
She returned to her human form, whiplike blade descending on one's wrist. As the man clutched his bloody stump in pain and surprise, the other two drew their weapons. Natalie spun, kicking the weapon out of one's hands, and bringing her sword to bear. She unlatched the locks, the blade encircling the guard's throat. She continued the spin, neatly removing the man's head.
The disarmed man fumbled for his pistol as the one who had literally lost an arm grabbed the dropped gun off the floor. Natalie straightened her sword, driving it through the man with the pistol. She ran at the wall, running along it and ripping her blade out of the man. She brought her sword up over her head, and then brought it down on the delimbed man.
Nat flickered, and the blood vanished from her garments. She turned the blunt edge of her sword around her waist, coiling it like a belt. She then opened the door, and gestured quickly.

Ariana sprinted quickly into the door. "Now, we just have to find the main room, the king will most likely be in his quarters." Ariana sat down, and she began to glow an ominous purple, and energies licked the air. "Listen carefully..." she said her dual voice very serious "We need to go through the door, and take a secret entrance, which will lead straigh to the thrones room, without being detected, or we can go straight ahead, and meet several hundred soldiers and a few gaurds and take them out first. It is up to you two..."

"Well, I don't care which method we take. I'd enjoy a good battle, but if we do that, the little weasel might get scared and run. Secret door would probably be better." Nat inspected a peculiar spatter of blood on the ceiling as she reasoned, pacing a circle centered on it like some kind of caged animal.

"Agreed, if we attack head on the king is likely to vanish before we reach him. The best plan would be to take the secret passage and catch him off-guard. I imagine we'll come face-to-face with those soldiers at some point but we should deal with what we came here for first."

"Then it is decided..." Ariana placed her hand on the floor, and there was a soft popping noise, and a square patch of the floor lifted. "We enter through here, this is the kings secret escape route, I will wait here, and you guys can distract the gaurds... I will get ahold of you as soon as I meet the demon, be prepared though" Ariana said and disappeared under the ground.

"Distract? Guards? Very rarely do I like the way anything sounds as much as those two words." Natalie grinned wildly, and closed the trap door behind Ariana with a loud slam. She then reached for her bag, rummaging through it for a certain object. She produced a small grey disk.
"You may want to take cover. This will get REALLY fun in about ten seconds." She slapped the disk onto the wall, where it stuck, kept in place by an adhesive backing. "Correction. Five seconds." Natalie sprinted away from the wall, diving for the ground as a massive explosion went off, blowing a gaping hole the size of a dumpster in the wall. Debris rained freely as Nat bounced to her feet and drew her sword.
"I can hardly wait."
