Quite a few things labored on Gabriel's mind but the road to seeing clearly was in the attempt to collect one more peice. Yes and of course the last part would indeed have to be David Blaze. On many occasions he'd try for this piece but always failed. In essence thats what drew Gabriel to him, a misplaced portion of respect and irritance. Reguardless he had a goal in mind and if anyone knew David it would be Gabriel. They were rivals after all.
"Lexi, would you happen to know where our friend would be?"
He questioned the woman at his side hoping she'd have an incling. Gabriel wanted to avoid burning another note in the grass fo sake of saving face this time around. As they strolled through the courtyard there would be mismatched glances and space given for the pair to roam. Certainly planning was amok.

She walked along side Gabriel. He wanted her to talk with David. Didn't exactly know what for.. she barely knew the guy. Alexis was just doing what she was told. As they walked, she kept quiet. Everything was running through her mind and she didn't want to bug Gabriel. It would seem she was annoying him lately. Normally, Alexis wouldn't care and just keep talking, but she really didn't want to piss Gabriel to the point of no return.
"Lexi, would you happen to know where our friend would be?"
A common Alexis Answer would be.
"How the fuck would I know? Here, let me use my telepathic powers that I grew over night."
Her answer she gave him was... a simple shrug. Her eyes glued to the ground as they walked around. Maybe they would just bump into him somewhere. After all, it was school and they were bound to find the student.

David laughed, looking over and waving at the librarian before turning back to look where he was walking. He stopped short, dodging a student who went in behind him. What a great day it was, full of laughter and life. He had been avoiding fights all day, students not really willing to throw down with him. He figured he was at least slightly establishing himself as a person to avoid the anger of.
He gave a smile and a nod to a person walking by him and, after passing a corner and passed through the doors outside, slipped on a piece of paper and fell flat on his face.
"OOF!"
He lay there for a moment, body askewed total anime style, unknowing that, directly in front of him, the one person he didn't want to have see him fall on his ass was walking with a strangely familiar female...
OOC((LAME ASS POST! APOLOGIES!))

Gabriel looked down expecting one of two things. A swift bitchy remark, something he was rather missing today. Or Alexis whipping out her cell phone to call the guy. Both of which didn't happen. Instead he got a meek shrug and of course he replied by rolling his eyes not trying to appear distant rather get a small conversation out of her.
Gabriel continued his walk though the courtyard noting the calmness of it all. Though there was always a sense of tension as of late. Students whom seemed rather joyeous and pleasant turned quiet and watchful to pick out the two. Rather irksome to some extent but it'd all go through soon enough, he'd hoped.
"OOF!" Gabriel's eyes shot up to catch David stumble forward onto his face at the base of the stairs.
A small smile crossed Gabriel's face. Right on schedule.
"bowing already, why thank you" Wrong choice of words. Gabriel shook his head out of the stupor.
"David, pleasant to bump into you I suppose any occasion why you'd drop by?" The smile never fading.

As if the Gods sent him... David fell on the ground ahead of them. Alexis almost questioned whether or not she did have telekinesis... obviously not, but still.
"David, pleasant to bump into you I suppose any occasion why you'd drop by?"
Again, Alexis avoided a quick witted comment. She just smiled at David without saying a word or making a move. She didn't know exactly what to say...due to the fact she didn't know what Gabriel wanted her to do. Yay, for unclear instructions!
Alexis would wait for David to answer Gabriel, after all... it would be rude and annoying for some people if she were to talk out of her turn. Moving a bit further from Gabriel, she leaned against the wall, waiting for some actual conversation to spark. There wasn't much she could say after all.

David stood, rubbing his head with a slightly irritated look. How the hell did that happen? He was generally sure footed, and suddenly WAM. He guessed everyone had thier off days-
He paused, turning around to stare at Gabriel with a look of both comical defiance and slight irritation. Why did this guy always manage to show up at the oddest of times? Or should he say the worst of times. David was really in no mood to fight him again, and the school was reaching a point where the point where it probably couldn't handle to many more battles with the Nova Dragon. He looked to the right, seeing the girl he had met a few days prior...he had already forgotten her name, but only because he knew the name was a total lie. He gave her a warm smile in return, wondering to himself about why she would be hanging out with the young Seran.
His eyes met Gabriels.
"Gabriel, what can i do for you this morning?"
He kept his tone stable, though inside he began charging his Qi. Gabriel wouldn't know it outwardly, since he hid it, but still, if something was going to go down, he would make sure it was Gabriel and not himself.
Hell, who knows.
Perhaps Gabriel actually wanted to TALK for once?

Gabriel could already sense the tension and felt the surge of his radiative heat prepared. Coiling like a snake ready to stirke, dispite how Gabriel would attempt to restrain it. He paced a few more steps til he was successfully before David only a few steps in fact. Now was were action came into effect, though his words could win over an arguement he was even stronger with actions.
"Well you could start by answering a few questions for me." Gabriel said with a deserving look.
he wanted to know more specifically about David, dispite going toe-to-toe on several accounts and knowing each other better than any rival could, they didn't "know each other."
"I'd like to know where you stand today... I quite visually remember you supporting the student hierarchy is that why you and I have been at such ends?" He said very bluntly perhaps causeing a stir.

OOC((Sorry to skip ya robbie- i figured there wouldnt be much for you to say here, so you can post at any time while thier talking if you want ^_^))
David frowned.
"No, you and i have been at ends for several reasons. You manipulate students to serve you, you think that just because others such as myself acknowledge thier own power that we're concieted and egotistical while you yourself have flaunted your own strength publically on several occassions, you don't care if others are hurt in your quest for some personal domination of the school, and you are generally hypocritical in several of your arguments and statements."
He looked at Alexis, then back to Gabriel.
"You say you wanna help people, then you show you dont. You contradict yourself and change your mind about where you stand and who you stand with and what you want to accomplish so often that i find i couldn't trust your word even if i wanted to."
His fists tightened.
"And we fight because you seem to find yourself on my level, and therefore ignore and berate authority figures, and you mock the laws i have come to serve. As for the student hierarchy- i have always admired and served the Captain, so long as they obey the laws and standard of the school. Right now, Mitsuki Park is an image of that, and therefore, she has my alliegance."
He tilted his head.
"Is that acceptable as an answer, or shall i continue?"

Predictable David. Gabriel nodded, just as he'd anticipated the man would put him on trial for all is wrong doings. It was well deserved but this would save both of them and hopefully if he knew David well enough Gabriel could for once be trusted. Doubtful but a risk was a risk and Gabriel was a man of action.
"As do I David, As do I..." Gabriel looked down towards the ground reconciling himself quickly.
He would look down at Alexis shortly observing her expression with concern. Was he willing to go through with this? He had deserved most of this beatings, from an outsider's perspective he was insane, had no route or destination. He would only look to be out to harm others, and anti-christ figure.
"I have a proposition for you, and I'd suggest you listen without dismissing it as another plot to manipulate you..." Gabriel stated noticing the intensity and how quiet it had become around the courtyard. Every breath hanging on their words.
"I offer you my services...In order to protect Mitsuki Park's Title," Gabriel dropped to a knee pulling loose the sword that Gilgamesh had offered him. THe blade would be revealed in his hands open for David to take.
At one point someone had to step down. And Gabriel had never suspected it to be himself, but when push came to shove Gabriel truly did want to protect the people.
"The Black Knights will also be at your disposal to protect the people, The school is of no concern... It's merely a symbol of control." Gabriel whispered now, "This is only to you that I kneel..."
(ooc: Who saw that coming? lol sorry it took so long also taking notes.)

David paused, confusion passing across his face as Gabriel stated a proposition he wished David to hear. He was in no mood to hear what this boy had to state, a plot of some kind likely to result in Gabriel on top of the world.
His frown deepened when Gabriel knelt, then his eyes came up sharply to Alexis' in question.
"You don't understand me at all Gabriel, do you? You think i want authority and power? No, i want to protect those i care about, and the laws that help to keep chaos from reigning over the school." He stepped forward, taking gabriel by the arms and picking him to his feet, a slight bit of wonder and continued confusion plastered on his face. This was...utterly unexpected. He had always seen Gabriel as a man of pride and ego, but to see him Kneel at his feet changed that, though he was still somewhat Skeptical. He didn't understand why this was happening, and why Gabriel chose him to give this to.
He looked around at everyone watching them.
"Follow me."
He turned and walked into an empty hallway, then down some stairs to the boiler room. It was silent down there, and totally empty.
"What are you playing at Gabriel? I'm not a fool- i wont be turned into your subordinate just so you can have one more ally of worth to follow you. Katsuri Katashi and your friend here may love you, but you know i hold no such inhibitions."
He folded his arms and leaned against the wall.
"Speak plainly, im not going to waste too much more time on this."

Gabriel got to his feet and looked into David's eyes. He almost sensed anger in his words but the expert hero of course had the stamina to keep up his face. he knew the man hated him for what he'd done in the past, despised him for doing evil unto others but in reality Gabriel ahd done nothing but stir the water's. All the harm and evil had been done by humans, human nature had turned them into beasts and the only ones left sane on the other end where David and Gabriel. He nodded in request to follow being led into a closed off section of the hallway as to evade observant eyes.
"and I don't take you as one David, I realize that without a doubt you are the greatest adversary I've ever had. And an even greater force to be reconned with when it comes to matters of the heart." Gabriel nodded placing a hand on his shoulder watching with sincere eyes.
"Take this as a matter of the heart, I've grown tired of keeping up useless skirmishes for power because in the end they've come to nothing. Childish prowesses that guided me in youth but now as it has been before. I want to help people, and this is the best route I see."
Gabriel turned looking to Alexis with a small smile.
"You have full control of my Black Knights while I deem necessary, Mitsuki and the people of this school must be protected from a greater threat than just me... and I believe Mitsuki will do great things as our Captain."
Gabriel gave a weak smile. He didn't knwo waht to expect of the future only that it couldn't only be written by one man. It'd take the strength and hearts of hundreds to make a difference. And Gabriel would sacrifice it all again.

She stood and watched them have their little squabble. Though what Gabriel did next literally made her want to snatch that sword and run it through his heart. She had no idea what kind of stunt he was trying to pull. they were brought down to a boilers room and Alexis just stared at Gabriel with a WTF face. He smiled at her and he carried on what he had to say. She looked at David with the same expression, then back to Gabriel.
*slap*
Yes, she slapped him straight across the face. She was in the gang for him... she was loyal to him... she was going to be there for him. Not David. Yeah, David seemed nice and all.. but still! Alexis was just rather peeved off.
"I thought you just wanted him to join?! Thanks for the heads up! Fucking ass hole."
She leaned against the wall and looked to the floor. She felt like he had lied to her. He didn't tell her the plans..and this was a big plan. She thought he was there for her too... but this felt like he was giving up.

David almost laughed out loud as Gabriel god bitch-slapped. It seemed comical, but yet his mind was trying to collect everything the boy was saying. Was him as a leader? Gabriel used to talk about them joining forces, but since then thier relationship has gone ever downhill. He tilted his head to the left.
"Don't worry hun, im not taking control of anything." Though he wanted to. "First of all, you have contradicted yourself by stating i will lead while you deem necessary. It would undermine my authority, and would still place yourself above me. Second, her reaction just showed your true intent at the start, to have me serve you, and therefore it puts a lie to your claim. However-" He stood, placing his hands in his pockets. "If you really wish to help, i'll talk to Mitsuki and see what she thinks. If she, as Captain, agrees, then it wont be my place to say anything on the matter. If she rejects you, then you'll let it be."
He stared for a moment.
"You know, you standing here, saying these things to me, almost makes me wonder why. You have, in the past months, spoken to me and treated me like i was some infection, a virus to those i have always tried to protect. Why don't you tell me why, now that we're here alone." He shrugged. "Why rival me, why fight me? Why ask for my help and offer me your gang? Is it because im better than you as a fighter? Is it because of my purpose and intent? Is it because you, like Linda, believe i see myself above others and constantly showing off my prowess?"
He had to admit, he was curious, and having Gabriel alone like this gave an opportunity for questioning...

*slap*
He'd expected that early on but didn't react swift enough to evade however he would grab Alexis' hand on the other side. HOlding her close was his primary goal now. Pulling her in closeso his lips would graze her ear.
"Don't worry I won't be leaving you...never." He whisperedso DAvid wouldn't hear.
Crimson eyes noticed the humor in the scenario, good he wanted to get rid of this tense feeling. And then it was back again. Gabriel's only reason to say such would be to keep control of power, while David was very powerful with a gang like the BLack Knights under his vice could potential cause more harm then good as was explained by Gilgamesh. Gabriel nodded noticing his slight blunder.
"David, I chose you of all others simply because you are a contrast to me..." He said attempting a sorrowed smile.
"Because while we may not agree on terms or goals, you are what is necessary. I never saw you as an infection, like yourself I need my trials here and there and you are simply the cure." This time his smile was genuine.

David grunted.
He didn't believe everything Gabriel stated- he wasn't going to be sucked into this boys gang. He did, however, have an idea. Gabriel acted like the well being of this school was important to him, then David would test it. He wanted to serve David? No. They would cooperate together, and if Gabriel decided to do thing differently or proved himself to be going down the wrong path once again, David would put a stop to it.
"I tell you what Gabriel. I'm not going to join your gang- i think there are things your not telling me, things you have plans for, and since offering my service is something i don't do often, i wont. I will, however, accept that your willing to change so long as your actions prove it, and there can be an alliance between us. But thats as far as we go. I won't serve you, and you won't serve me. But when i have need or vice versa, we'll both find each other." He smiled politely. "Think of it as a Peace Treaty. At least between us. Again, if Mitsuki deems you worthy, and places her trust in you, then i will follow her. That way i can keep myself seperated from your command, and Alexis along with the others wont have a leader they don't trust in."
He steeled himself. so many Dragons, strange men with powers popping out of nowhere...They needed people to help defend the school.
He held out his hand.
"Sound fair enough?"
