"I will take you there...You cannot go alone..." Arael told him.

"As usual, nobody here listens to me!" Joaquin shouted, exasperated. "I just said you can't sneak in there. And if he sees Arael, he's gonna assume he's there because one of us sent him! Because, you know, first Ianar tried to go in there, then me a couple minutes ago, and now he's going to see you, and there's no telling what he'll do to you!"

Arael shuddered at the idea, but he simply looked at Ianar. "...I would rather it be me than any of you..."

"No. We're gonna deal with Larry, Curly, and Moe, and then we're gonna go stop Adam from doing whatever he's planning, alright? Stop being such a death-seeker and just listen to us for once!" Joaquin shouted at the Angel.

He didn't want to. He really didn't. He knew that if anyone else went in there, they would get seriously hurt. Yet he still closed his eyes and nodded submissively.

Ianar remained invisible
He glared at Joaquin even though he wouldn't know it
"Which is why I must go. Im useless in a fight, so send me to Adam for...I dunno, negotiations? Unless you have a problem with that Joaquin."
Ianar looked at the man expectantly

Joaquin shook his head fiercely. "You didn't see what he did to Charlotte?! What if he knows your weaknesses and decides to use them against you?! You have no clue what he's going to do to you! And you'd still have to bring Arael with you, and even if you were able to get them both out, he would keep Arael! And you don't wanna know what he'd do to him then." he argued.

And you'd still have to bring Arael with you, and even if you were able to get them both out, he would keep Arael! And you don't wanna know what he'd do to him then." he argued.

Ianar suddenly reappeared in front of Joaquin
"Guess what? I've already encountered him! He already knows my secrets and I dont care! It doesnt matter to me! So just send me in there and then you can do whatever the heck your heart desires ok?"
Ianar turned invisible again

[Ranoria]

Raven nodded, clapping his hands twice, and then instantly teleported away from Ryujin's blow, the foot, hitting only earth and sand, floating up in the air before the dragon king, grinning. He snapped his fingers, removing the tumors from the dragon's body.

Raven giveth, Raven taketh away. Please stop. You're only an annoyance at this point.

He then settled back to the sandy ground, clapping his hands, a crystal diagram of the planet forming behind him, distinguishing each foe's region.

As I'm sure you are all quite aware, we still have a ways to go. So, perhaps we should move onward with this, eh? Who do we wish to attack next? And please don't say me. I expect better from you all, than to begin further traitorous behavior. Speaking of Traitor's,has anyone spotted Xzvier, Patriah, or any of the other endless followers Thana has somehow procured? Once we've gathered everyone, we can begin our mission once more.

Ryujin blinked at this, and snarled, turning and about to attack again when he realized just how futile it really was to try, not to mention that Patriah was out of harm's way, and that was why he had begun to fight in the first place.

He changed to his human form then, watching silently, and certainly begrudgingly.

Mourir stood silently as well, for a moment, before speaking, "I believe they are outside of the planet searching for Thana. You should know, you are omnipotent." His red eyes gleamed a harsh red that seemed to find the very depths of Raven's soul, the desert wind growing calm as he stole the energy from the storm.

Otohime didn't feel the need to say anything she wasn't of much use here, and certainly wasn't a fighter. Shen Lung pointed at Thanakron's kingdom, "I vote we take on that one next. It'll be so much easier than taking Tharizdun..."

[Luminesa]

Joaquin shook his head fiercely. "You didn't see what he did to Charlotte?! What if he knows your weaknesses and decides to use them against you?! You have no clue what he's going to do to you! And you'd still have to bring Arael with you, and even if you were able to get them both out, he would keep Arael! And you don't wanna know what he'd do to him then." he argued.

Ianar suddenly reappeared in front of Joaquin
"Guess what? I've already encountered him! He already knows my secrets and I dont care! It doesnt matter to me! So just send me in there and then you can do whatever the heck your heart desires ok?"
Ianar turned invisible again

"...Will you stop with the pity-party? Please. It's getting annoying. Now get up, we're gonna go take-out Thanakron," Joaquin answered, with a sigh.

"ok"
He walked towards Rosalie
Looking for any normal conversation he could find
"hey...I never got to properly thank you for healing me and everything....so I guess this is...thanks?"
Ianar scratched the back of his head
how is someone so beautiful? How is it possible? Its literally insane!
He glanced at her nervously
It was obvious he was very....on edge? Nervous? Twitchy?

"Yep! Im the one who...well...im the #@$- up of the group..."
Ianar began to fade from view, embarrassed by his actions
He was as visible as a faint shadow now

[Luminesa]

Rosalie smiled, feeling bubbly and friendly again after having rested for a while. "You're welcome! Rosalie is my name. And you're Ianar?" she asked.

"Yep! Im the one who...well...im the #@$- up of the group..."
Ianar began to fade from view, embarrassed by his actions

"Aw, don't do that...You didn't mess anything up..." she told him, now hugging him as Arael rose to join back with the group.

Ianar blushed really bad, and turned completely invisible for a second
Then slowly turning back to his normal, visible self
"But I did mess up.....pretty bad"

[Luminesa]

"Aw, don't do that...You didn't mess anything up..." she told him, now hugging him as Arael rose to join back with the group.

Ianar blushed really bad, and turned completely invisible for a second
Then slowly turning back to his normal, visible self
"But I did mess up.....pretty bad"

"...It's okay...You wanted to do the right thing, and while it doesn't look right, right now...things will be okay eventually...Everyone will be saved and everyone will be home safe and sound..." she assured him.

[Syrixces]

Raven nodded, slightly pleased, to see that while they had not become completely subservient, at least they had halted their attacks upon his being. Fools. He snapped his fingers, the diagram shifting, showing two realms in particular, a howling pit, and an icy waste.

While I agree that Tharizdun, Thanakron and the Rot are our primary targets, perhaps we should focus upon clearing the grunts first. Specifically Loki and Hades. They certainly do not pose nearly as much of a threat. And alas, even omnipotence, has its limits. I'd have to look, but I don't really care.

He clapped his hands, grinning beneath the mask.

So, who's on first?

"Omnipotence isn't supposed to have limits," Hamiri answered, coolly, "now I say we're wasting time with these grunts. The longer we waste time on them, the more people who will die and the more energy we'll be wasting. So we should just move onto Tharzidun."

Cyrek looked up at Raven. "I have absolutely no clue as to who we need to go after. My guess is as good as yours, so I guess we just wait for the people that I haven't met yet to decide."

He clapped his hands, grinning beneath the mask.

So, who's on first?

Mourir rubbed his chin, "You aren't omnipotent, then. Having limits defies the word's meaning." He was feeling very vocal, "Now, I believe Hades would work rather well for me, at least. I am a death god."

Ryujin grunted, "I'm won't be able to help much with Loki, I'm no good in the cold. But I do have a question." He pointed out the two territories, "You've said these gods were powered through the blood flow or whatever, and we certainly haven't cut that off completely. Would that mean that killing the stronger enemies last would result in their being significantly stronger? More powerful? We can't have that."

[Syrixces]

Raven rolled his eyes at the omnipotent comments, quite aware of their snide attitudes, and his own self-aware irony. He shrugged, robes shifting, and adjusted his mask, grinning wickedly beneath the white bird's skull, assuming his entirely human form, flipping up the hood.

It does have its limited, when you're not entirely omnipotent. As you will recall, our foes still retain a large portion of my powers. Now, I would actually suggest taking on Loki and Hades first. Take their land, powers, such, and hen turn to the big remaining three, give them something to worry about. Either way, we must attack the Rot last. As for the blood supply, we've limited so much, it doesn't really matter either way.

He smiled calmly, and clapped his hands in a thunderclap.

Cool?

[Luminesa]

Raven rolled his eyes at the omnipotent comments, quite aware of their snide attitudes, and his own self-aware irony. He shrugged, robes shifting, and adjusted his mask, grinning wickedly beneath the white bird's skull, assuming his entirely human form, flipping up the hood.

He smiled calmly, and clapped his hands in a thunderclap.

Cool?

"And I say if there's no need for it, and all our powers together are already enough to take-on the Big Three. So I say we start with Tharzidun. We take them out as quick as we can, so we can go save our fallen teammates. Cool?" she demanded.

He smiled calmly, and clapped his hands in a thunderclap.

Cool?

Shen made the thunder much, much louder than Raven did, and added a nigh-blinding lightning bolt with it for effect, giving the not-yet omnipotent god a wink as he did.

Ryujin nodded, "Let's get this over with. We should split the group, take on hades and Loki seperately. I'd suggest sending our more mentally stable people to Loki, he can certainly manipulate us otherwise." He leaned over the table, unimpressed by the thunderclap, and pointed towards the pit, "I'd suggest that Thanatos, Mourir, and the angels be deployed here, as well as myself, I won't be of much use in the cold," he shifted his finger to the tundra-like area controlled by Loki, "Here, Genbu, Shen Lung, Tsukuyomi, Patriah, Hamiri, and maybe Rachel could be useful against Loki. We need to keep Charlotte, Raphael, and Lux away from him. As for everyone else, I don't think it matters too much." He stood up though, and turned to Amaterasu, looking somewhat worried for her, "Do you think you could sit this one out, love? I know the dark and cold aren't exactly your specialties."

Otohime glanced over at Hamiri worriedly, speaking hesitantly, "Hamiri, please calm down, you sound angry, and honestly, I'd prefer to not do clean up work after we finish them all off, anyways..." She shuffled her feet a bit, uncomfortably, hoping Hamiri didn't take it as an attempt to start an argument, especially with as timid as she sounded.

She sighed, feeling strained, and she nodded. "...I'm fine, Oto, I'm just...suggesting...how we could better take care of this problem...without exerting too much energy..." she muttered.

[Theocretes]

Ianar blushed really bad, and turned completely invisible for a second
Then slowly turning back to his normal, visible self
"But I did mess up.....pretty bad"

"...It's okay...You wanted to do the right thing, and while it doesn't look right, right now...things will be okay eventually...Everyone will be saved and everyone will be home safe and sound..." she assured him.

"Thank you....Rosalie, you've helped alot"
He was deciding for going in for a hug or not...instead he just walked over to Raven
"im ready...."

[Charlia]

Raven rolled his eyes at the omnipotent comments, quite aware of their snide attitudes, and his own self-aware irony. He shrugged, robes shifting, and adjusted his mask, grinning wickedly beneath the white bird's skull, assuming his entirely human form, flipping up the hood.

Charlotte would have loved to have been able to sincerely argue his accusations of mental instability.

But she knew that she couldn't. It was sad, but it was the truth.


Amaterasu sighed and nodded. "I suppose..."

[Luminesa]

"...It's okay...You wanted to do the right thing, and while it doesn't look right, right now...things will be okay eventually...Everyone will be saved and everyone will be home safe and sound..." she assured him.

He was deciding for going in for a hug or not...instead he just walked over to Raven
"im ready...."

Rosalie watched him walk away, and she blinked. She then walked over to join Arael, and she sighed. "I wonder if Adam hurt him...if that's why he broke down...He never seemed that concerned before..." she whispered to the Angel.

Arael nodded. "...And now Xavier and Patriah both are with him..." he muttered.

[Luminesa]

Amaterasu sighed and nodded. "I suppose..."

Lux sighed and stared at the ground, now consumed with worry for his brother. Patriah's words had hit him hard, and now he was wondering what he should do. His eyes clouded over, as he stared at the ground, conflicted.

She sighed, feeling strained, and she nodded. "...I'm fine, Oto, I'm just...suggesting...how we could better take care of this problem...without exerting too much energy..." she muttered.

Otohime moved behind her and began rubbing her shoulders gently, trying to relieve some of her stress, "It's alright, you just relax. You've been working very, very, very hard lately, and you can't always be right. Just most of the time. Why don't you relax and leave the planning to Raven and Hyperion?" She smiled warmly, although Hamiri wouldn't see it.

Amaterasu sighed and nodded. "I suppose..."

His eyes flicked over to Charlotte briefly, but he didn't have much to say to her, and they went right back to Ama, "You used alot of power fighting that," he nodded towards the corpse of Aphophis, "anyway. No reason you shouldn't take a nice break and recover before we move on." He gave her a small smile, and then glared over at Shen Lung, who got the message immediately and blinked, the clouds and sand clearing out and the sun beating down on them more intensely than before.

"I know you don't trust him," her voice was soothing, her thumbs still rubbing out the knots in Hamiri's back, "But I need you to let all of that anxiety just flow out, alright? Think about something happy, or silly, or cute. Patriah can cover all of those when he's a baby dragon, so try that. I'm sure it'll help you out."
