Holy High - IC 2 - Open

[Luminesa]

She sniffled, when she felt him hug back, and she murmured, "...I'm so sorry...So that's why...you kept turning invisible...He really did hurt you..."

Hamiri didn't hear all of the conversation, but she saw Rosalie hugging Ianar's invisible form, and she sighed sadly. All of this is just so sad...and frustrating...not even in a fun way, but in a despairing way...Why does it feel like this? Why now of all times, when we're fighting opponents we've beaten before?...Why does everything feel so wrong, here?

Ianar became visible again
and wiped the tear from her face
"Rosalie..look at me. That happened a long time ago, and while it still does hurt, I shouldn't make a big deal out of it...and you shouldn't cry about it...such a waster of such a happy....pretty face."
Ianar half smiled
He looked around...people all around him sad...
What is happening?

She heard him say that, and she blushed brightly. "...D-Did you say I'm...did you say I'm pretty?" she stammered.

[Luminesa]

Arael's eyes widened. "...Haruka...Adam will hurt you...He will hurt you, and...he might even hurt your child..." he whispered urgently, looking down fearfully at Kyoko. "I know you want to see him, but you must understand...Adam...he will break you..."

"I have to see him," she said firmly.

"And you haven't seen me fighting..."

"Xavier...would not want you to get hurt against Adam...And Adam...he could kill you...and then...Kyoko..." he mumbled, fearfully, not wanting her to get hurt in a fight that could easily be avoided.

[Charlia]

"I have to see him," she said firmly.

"And you haven't seen me fighting..."

"Xavier...would not want you to get hurt against Adam...And Adam...he could kill you...and then...Kyoko..." he mumbled, fearfully, not wanting her to get hurt in a fight that could easily be avoided.

"I can't let him be alone," she growled, and flickered to her true form, the impressively gory skeleton. Kyoko, in her arms, changed as well... into a small black bundle with glowing red eyes.

Frightened, Arael stepped back. "...Haruka, please..." After the shock wore-off, however, he realized that her true form just might be enough to get Adam to back-off, if it was executed properly. "...Very well...But I will go with you, to protect you and the child..."

"Good," she said calmly, and reverted back to her preferred state.

"I'm ready when you are."

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

"No kidding dude. I swear, sometimes having your powers be spontaneous and random aren't the best thing. I ended up on several different versions of random planets before I got back here. It was quite a sight to see, someone randomly falling out of the sky multiple times. If it wasn't for me being naturally resistant to damage, then I would have broken every bone in my body. Good to be back finally." He laid his cane over one of his shoulders, the tip sticking in the air.

"...Hey, once we get this whole thing with Raven's hit-list done, you wanna help us kill Adam and get Thana and Xavier back?" he asked him.

"Sure. Its better than sitting around and letting myself stagnate. I've attained a slight control on my abilities, so it should be much easier for me to fight with you guys now."

[Luminesa]

Frightened, Arael stepped back. "...Haruka, please..." After the shock wore-off, however, he realized that her true form just might be enough to get Adam to back-off, if it was executed properly. "...Very well...But I will go with you, to protect you and the child..."

"Good," she said calmly, and reverted back to her preferred state.

"I'm ready when you are."

Carefully, he took her hand and opened a portal nearby. "Keep close to me, Haruka...And be as quiet as possible..." he whispered, before he brought her through the portal.

OBLIVION

Arael was careful enough to have them appear on a side of the dimension in which the Eyes of God we're not currently looking. As long as they stayed out of their sight, Adam would not know they were around. "...This is Oblivion...Adam's home..." he whispered, watching her expression as they appeared in the horrifying dimension.

[Theocretes]

Ianar became visible again
and wiped the tear from her face

She heard him say that, and she blushed brightly. "...D-Did you say I'm...did you say I'm pretty?" she stammered.

Ianar blushed bright red and turned invisible faster than he had ever before
"........yes?"
He cringed waiting for her response
Did I really say that?!?! IM AN IDIOT

[Luminesa]

"...Hey, once we get this whole thing with Raven's hit-list done, you wanna help us kill Adam and get Thana and Xavier back?" he asked him.

"Sure. Its better than sitting around and letting myself stagnate. I've attained a slight control on my abilities, so it should be much easier for me to fight with you guys now."

Patriah nodded, but was then noticed two people leaving through a portal. "Wait a sec...what was that?!" he questioned, turning to see just as the portal disappeared.

"...What was what?" Hamiri asked, hearing his distress.

"...A portal...I have no idea what just happened, but there was a portal, and...uh oh..." He looked around and saw the team was missing a member, now.

Lux noticed as well, and he immediately understood what had happened. "She wanted Arael to take her to Xavier...I should have known..." he mumbled, gloomily.

Patriah was now immensely frustrated, and he pulled out his sword and bit the blade. "...Why do I have a sudden urge to kill everything?" he grumbled darkly.

[Luminesa]

She heard him say that, and she blushed brightly. "...D-Did you say I'm...did you say I'm pretty?" she stammered.

Ianar blushed bright red and turned invisible faster than he had ever before
"........yes?"
He cringed waiting for her response
Did I really say that?!?! IM AN IDIOT

She was going to respond, until she realized her brother was gone. "...Arael?...Wh-Where did he go?" she stood, still holding Ianar's hand, and she looked around in confusion. "...What is happening?"

"Haruka had him take her to see Xavier...We can only hope he is able to protect her..." Lux muttered gravely.

Rosalie had been on the verge of tears before, but now she put her face in her hands and sobbed. Arael has been through enough...Why didn't I say something?...Why didn't I just admit I'm an Angel of Adam, like Arael?...Now he's going to suffer and it's my fault... she scolded herself.

Ianar put his arm around Rosalie and wiped her tears
"Rosalie, it's not your fault...it's nobodies fault. We can still help them, by going after them."
Ianar now muttered to himself
"Now all we need is a portal to oblivion"

[Luminesa]

Ianar put his arm around Rosalie and wiped her tears
He did not care that she was an Angel of adam
...
he just cared about her
"Rosalie, it's not your fault...it's nobodies fault. We can still help them, by going after them."
Ianar now muttered to himself
"Now all we need is a portal to oblivion"

Rosalie shook her head. "I can't fight him...I don't know how..." she cried, looking at him as he touched her.

OOC: He's not supposed to know that. Most of the characters think she's just another Angel like Lux, Xavier, and Raphael.

"I have no clue as to why you wanna kill something, but it might be the same reason that random condiments start spewing out of my fingertips sometimes. It only happens when it's an inconvenience for some reason..."

'You will need help Rosalie...that's why we're here...ok?

OOC: Thought she muttered that to herself aloud, i'll edit it

[Luminesa]

"I am just sick of everything...When I see Adam again, you, me, and Ryu are gonna tear him apart. Just like old times..." he growled.

Joaquin narrowed his eyes contemptuously and looked away from everyone. "They made a stupid decision. All of them. Thana didn't need to make the decision he made, Ianar didn't need to follow him, Xavier didn't need to try and sacrifice himself, and now Arael and Haruka are going to wind-up hurt, if not dead. And the stupidity is just going to continue if we don't finish this mess with Raven's enemies," he grumbled.

Lux, Hamiri, and Rosalie all looked at him in shock, while Ianar and Patriah looked like they were going to go off any minute, but the Angel didn't care. He wanted everything to be over more than anyone else. He hated it all-the stench of death, the endless drama, the looming darkness, the eternal dread that gnawed at him inside-and he would say and do whatever it took to make it all stop, even if it was insensitive and wrong.

[Charlia]

"Good," she said calmly, and reverted back to her preferred state.

"I'm ready when you are."

Carefully, he took her hand and opened a portal nearby. "Keep close to me, Haruka...And be as quiet as possible..." he whispered, before he brought her through the portal.

OBLIVION

Arael was careful enough to have them appear on a side of the dimension in which the Eyes of God we're not currently looking. As long as they stayed out of their sight, Adam would not know they were around. "...This is Oblivion...Adam's home..." he whispered, watching her expression as they appeared in the horrifying dimension.

Her eyes narrowed in shock and anger, and she began to search for Xavier.

Please stay quiet, sweetheart. Please, don't cry. Even when you see Daddy... She blushed slightly as she realized she was already beginning to think of Xavier as her husband and Kyoko's father, even though they weren't married yet. Don't cry.

Arael did not know himself where Xavier could be. Looking around the enormous, awful dimension, he did not know where to start. He could be anywhere. It was strange that this was his home, yet he knew nothing about it.

I should have asked Joaquin before we got started with this...but knowing him, he would not want to help...

Sighing, he decided they would have to take a risk. "We can sneak into the heart if we are completely silent. Then we can go from there...Come on..." he told Haruka. He then took her hand and flew carefully, keeping an eye on the Eyes of God that gazed over everything above them. For all he knew, they could have been caught already. If that was the case, they might as well take the risk.

When they landed right inside the heart, Arael looked around the large, quiet area. Normally he was not allowed here unless he had permission, but he told himself he would not be here for that long and smothered his fears under that thought. He then searched around the area until he saw the opening leading up to the skull of Oblivion. "There. Remain completely silent..." he told her, as he took her hand and flew carefully through the body cavity, all the way to the top.

She stayed quiet, but Kyoko began to squirm, and Haruka frantically attempted to calm the girl down.

It worked. For now.

It worked. For now.

When they got to the top, Arael himself was shocked. Nobody and nobody had ever been allowed into this area, except for Adam. It was so secret that none of the Angels knew it existed. It was also so different from everywhere else in the dimension, in the way it seemed so normally structured. The circular structure, and the heavily-tinted windows of the "rooms", made it look almost like an ICU Ward in a hospital. However, the room had a few aspects that chilled one to the bone, aspects that made the area chillingly organic, too organic to be a hospital room.

For one, there was no reception desk, but instead there was a large, glowing being in the middle of the area. Whatever it was, it was curled into a ball, and glowing a dull-gold.

And above it, raining light over the being, was an enormous eye, the eye that had caught Joaquin.

Seeing the eye, Arael's heart jumped through his ribs in terror. Now there was no doubt. They had been spotted, one way or another. He clung tightly to Haruka, keeping her close to him in fear.

No...he sees us...

...He sees us...

Haruka understood what was happening, and her heart sank.

"I'm sorry, Arael," she said softly. "Fly for your life."

"I'm sorry, Arael," she said softly. "Fly for your life."

"I am not leaving you here. Please, he will hurt you if you are alone," he begged her, looking from her to the baby in fear.

"I am not leaving you here. Please, he will hurt you if you are alone," he begged her, looking from her to the baby in fear.

"Go," she said firmly. "I'll only slow you down. But get Kyoko to safety..." She kissed the child on the forehead, and gave her to Arael. "Get her back to the school. Keep her safe. Do that much, please."

[Theocretes]

Ianar was still comforting Rosalie
although he was confused...how was this her fault?
Also, Adam is dangerous...he never got that vibe from him
he decided to get some clarification
"Hey Rosalie...why do you think its your fault?"
He gave a concerned look
although it would be hard to see, Ianar was still slightly invisible from the whole encounter

[Syrixces]

Raven rolled his eyes, reaching into the various parcels of his robes, and pulling out odd bits and patches of salt and dusts. He continued working around the diagram, creating a detailed circle titragram, within each other, in the process of creating a portal. He finished, and snapped his fingers, purple electricity flashing across, a column of purple - white light flashing upwards.

Well, I knows that a few of us would at least appreciate a chance at Loki. Plus, half a group can take on Hades. So I can make two portals.

He leaned over, and created a second, dropping a stone into one, and a fragment of ice into the other, creating on portal to Hades' realm, and one to Loki's realm.

Now, who wants what?

[Luminesa]

"I am not leaving you here. Please, he will hurt you if you are alone," he begged her, looking from her to the baby in fear.

"Go," she said firmly. "I'll only slow you down. But get Kyoko to safety..." She kissed the child on the forehead, and gave her to Arael. "Get her back to the school. Keep her safe. Do that much, please."

Arael looked from her to Kyoko, and then he huddled the warm little infant's body against him. "...I-I will...I will keep her safe...But please...take care of yourself..." he whispered. He then flew away, but he didn't leave the general area. Instead, he found a crevice to hide in, a room with nobody in it and that was not activated, since it was not as warm as the rest of the area, and he watched.
