<strong>DOA Main Hall.</strong><br/><br/>Giselle watches the Afro Samurai walk away, his wooden sandals clapping quietly on the white linoleum floor.  She turns slowly and smiles warmly at Tyger until he reminds her of why she's here.  Sighing, her brown eyes grow a bit misty as she looks down, pondering his question.  "He'd probably say it was incredibly stupid but be proud of my efforts all the same.  He's a good father, and he's worth every sacrifice I'm making just to be here in another world, in an entirely new reality."  She replied in a whisper, losing sight of everyone else save for Tyger as Yuna slowly approached the two, having overheard most of what had been said.<br/><br/>"He's incredibly lucky to have a daughter like you Giselle.  No matter what happens, if he loves you as you say he does, then he'll be eternally grateful for what you're doing."  Giselle looked up into Yuna's face and nodded, feeling her determination rise fully again thanks to the summoner's words.  She wouldn't give up, even if someone were to beat her, she'd tear this entire Island apart to find him, no matter the cost.  They both chuckle as Giselle playfully shoves Tyger back after the rest of his speech.  "Go on Jungle-Cat, take care of your needs and we shall tend to ours."  Yuna teased, having heard the nickname on the way here from one of the others.<br/><br/>"Yeah, go play in the water.  You don't smell the greatest either old friend.  If this place is anything like our old world's inns and motels and stuff, they should have some room service."  Giselle replied, her brown eyes twinkling in mirth as she and Yuna both go to find their own rooms.  Vincent on the other hand slowly approached the cat girl among them, his red eyes narrowing slightly at how she was cleaning herself.  Clearing his throat, the man held out his metallic gold hand to Kiruna.<br/><br/>"It's a pleasure.  From what I heard from one of the staff working here, we are to room together."  He said, hoping she'd understand him.  Personally he would have loved to room alone, but he was able and willing to adapt as the need called for it.  Besides, his time with Cloud, Tifa, Red 13, Yuffie, Barret, Aeris....Cait Sith, and everyone else had opened his heart again after his past of letting Lucretia die and allowing Sephiroth to rise as he had, almost destroying the entire world that he knew and loved despite his desire to be alone...at least at first anyway.  Now he was constantly trying to atone in any way that he could.<br/><br/><strong>Yuna and Giselle leave to find their rooms....</strong><br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><strong>Meanwhile, in Helena's office.</strong><br/><br/>"Such maggots, unaware of why they are truly here.  It's rather funny, a human irony if you will."  The man in the heavy black robes and a black metallic staff said, making Helena tremble despite her best efforts to hide her fear from this thing before her.  No matter how often she saw this thing, she never got used to this thing's presence that posed as a man...but she knew it was not even close.  She didn't wish to die though...and had foolishly made a deal with this thing, now realizing she had basically made a deal with the Devil himself.<br/><br/>"Why are you here Guildenstern?  You got what you came for so far, so there's no reason for you to be here until later."  Helena snapped back, gaining a stern look from her 'boss' which was thankfully dampened down considerably until he pulled his hood back, and Helena gasped as she saw the demon's face for the first time.<br/><br/>"You humans are insolent bugs compared to us Genma!  You think your race is where you are because of your own strength?!  You are sadly mistaken my dear Helena.  The only reason your kind is so strong is because when the universe was first created, your race were slaves to my own, used for a source of food and slaves.  It was the Oni that got our Lord Fortinbras to agree to teaching your pitiful race about science and culture, but then a war broke out between our two races who were almost equally advanced in science and technology, but we eventually lost to the cursed Oni clan. However, a truce was drawn up so that no new blood need be spilled between us after Fortinbras and the Genma was sealed away in the netherworld.  We were allowed to keep human slaves for hard labor and sacrifices if we taught them technology and culture as I mentioned earlier, but your kind got strong enough to overpower us, or so they thought.  The war is still going on, but it's been in the shadows hundreds of years, five hundred to be precise."<br/><br/>"The Age of Warring States?!  Japan and the massive armies that went to war against each other, your 'kind' had a hand in that?!"  Helena asked, and Guildenstern laughed cruelly, bowing like he was proud of his handiwork to their Dark Lord Fortinbras.  "Bastard demonic mad scientist.  If I ever find a way out of this, I'll be sure to have you destroyed once and for all."  Guildenstern approached the blond woman and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her clear off the floor with one hand.<br/><br/>"Now you listen here you insignificant worm!  You are only alive because I need your help in clearing the way for the rest of my kind!  If I had a choice, I'd gladly kill you now and use your body for my experiments!  Be grateful you are still needed, Helena!"  Dropping her to the floor, Helena gasped and coughed as Guildenstern disappeared, leaving the girl trembling.  She needed help....and there was no way to get it....or so she thought as she silently cried at how hopeless it seemed.<br/><br/>(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100621205040/capcomdatabase/images/0/03/Oni3Guildenstern1.png)
