Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, what a waste...and here I had the finest tea and delicious crumpets made just for the occasion." He gave a light flick of his wrist, three cups of tea and a plate full of biscuits seemed to grow straight out of the table. "If you ever change your mind, they are still there. As far as the business between me and Saverio goes...well, I'll let you try and figure that out on your own. You do seem to be quite capable of doing that already." He nodded, gesturing to his two guests to be seated. "Please, do make yourselves...comfortable." He himself took his seat behind his large desk, taking a sip from what appeared to be a freshly made cup of green tea. He turned his gaze upon Saverio, addressing him. "There is no point in you holding onto that card anymore, it will no longer bring you here."

"Hahah...yes, well, we shall see about that." He smiled standing up out of his seat, looking at a picture to the left of his wall. He he gazed at it, a soft grin on his face. It was another self portrait, but this one was far more recent. The picture itself seemed to shine with an almost holy radiance, an angelic figure descending from the skies, it's wings fully extended. He was clad in full shining armor and wielding a bright blue sword, engraved with a design that seemed to flow from it's hilt.

"We shall definately see..." He said, looking over his shoulder at Sevario. "Our meeting is over...I have learned all I needed to learn." His soft gaze suddenly twisted violently, his eyes widening and a grin of complete insanity stretched across his face, bearing his teeth and, more noticeably, his sharp fangs.

He stretched out his left arm, his fingers spread, a dark red swirling mass shooting out at Saverio.

"BEGONE!"

In an instant, all that was left where Saverio stood was a silhouette of dust that slowly sifted its way to the ground.

------1st Floor Lobby------

A dark red swirling mass burst out of nowhere, exploding into the room and sending chairs, couches, tables and other utilities flying away from it. It lasted for a few moments, and in its wake stood Saverio, returned to where he had started his crusade.

------Undakai's Office-----

"HAHAHAHA! Oh how fun! He wants to play it his way, I'll ablige. I'll even add in some appropriate music to go along with fighting through the devils mansion." He laughed again, organ music filling the entire building with its ominous tone.

He cackled a little more, turning his psychotic gaze upon another unfortunate soul who had wondered into his domain. "Ah yes, your still here as well...I'm sorry, but your going to have to give Saverio his answer later...if you're still alive." He glanced out his window, for a moment, returning his eyes upon Skrat. "I see you're learning...sending those rats...*ahem* squirrels into my domain would have been extremely detrimental to their health, as shown to you twice already..." He closed his eyes, thinking for a moment. "...but it would seem one of those is back up and running again." He added, more to himself then to Skrat.

"Anyway, as you should know, your attack on my fortress will not end pleasantly, whether it is successful or not, so I wish to ask you, do you truely feel this fight is worth it? What are your reasons, if I may be so obliged as to ask? And most importantly, would you please return to your human form when answering these questions? You look quite ridiculous for a nemesis."

Saverio slamed into the wall of the lobby with a slam and a grunt. "d**k!" he yelled as he hit the floor. He pulled himself to one knee and looked around. His vision was blurry from the hit, so he couldn't see much. All he saw was that he was back in the lobby and that he still had all his stuff.

"I'm going to kick his bipolar disorder lookin a** next I see him!"

A wide grin spread across Reiku's face as she watched Skrat and Kai's "meeting". 'Heh. It seems he will need my help with this one, soon. . . But, should I lend it so soon, probably not. Naw, all the main bosses need to be in the premises in order for the final battle to really commence.'
She got up and snapped her fingers again, making the orb disappear. "It's time I depart." she said, to no one in particular. She raised a hand and pushed dark energy out of it, creating a doorway. She stepped across the threshold and reappeared in front of the UndaCorp building.
She strode quickly into the lobby and smiled, "This is it."

"I wouldn't suggest that..." Lin replied, pointing his chopsticks at Saverio. "Just enjoy the ride... I'm waiting for my command... until then I really have no desire to fight you right now, Sav."

He sighed and sat down, snapping his fingers and making a tea set and kotatsu appear on the platform. He pointed to the tea set - sake was there too - and smiled. "Enjoy."

Reiku walked briskly through the lobby. She stopped at the elevator and frowned. "Well, this is no good. . . I wonder if there are any workers I can bum a card off of. . ." she said, looking around frantically. She slid her glasses back up, as they were slipping, "Okay, let's just play it cool and wait for some of his flunkies to show. . ."

"Oooh! Organ music. Very doomy, Undies," Belle remarked to herself. "I like."

Yawning she curled up in a plush chair to charge her batteries for the oncoming battle...

...of doom.
