Holy High - IC 2 - Open

"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.

Haruka simply stood where she was, waiting for Adam.

I can do this.

Haruka simply stood where she was, waiting for Adam.

I can do this.

The voice she heard, however, was not Adam's. It was one she knew much better, one that was much more inviting, though it seemed tired.

"Haruka-kun?...Is that you?" the voice called to her.

[Charlia]

Haruka simply stood where she was, waiting for Adam.

I can do this.

The voice she heard, however, was not Adam's. It was one she knew much better, one that was much more inviting, though it seemed tired.

"Haruka-kun?...Is that you?" the voice called to her.

"...Xavier?" she said softly. "Xavier, are you all right? Where are you? He's hurt you, hasn't he? I'll kill him, Xavier. I promise... Where are you?" she cried. "Please, tell me you're not hurt too badly!"

Xavier came and hugged her from behind, embracing her tightly. "It's okay...I'm here..." he told her quietly.

[Charlia]

"...Xavier?" she said softly. "Xavier, are you all right? Where are you? He's hurt you, hasn't he? I'll kill him, Xavier. I promise... Where are you?" she cried. "Please, tell me you're not hurt too badly!"

Xavier came and hugged her from behind, embracing her tightly. "It's okay...I'm here..." he told her quietly.

"Xavier!" she cried, and spun around, hugging him back.

"What did he do to you?" she sobbed. "Are you all right? I was so scared..."

[Luminesa]

Xavier came and hugged her from behind, embracing her tightly. "It's okay...I'm here..." he told her quietly.

"Xavier!" she cried, and spun around, hugging him back.

"What did he do to you?" she sobbed. "Are you all right? I was so scared..."

"I'm okay, Haruka-kun, don't cry...he hasn't done anything to me yet. He left me here and told me to wait, said he heard something coming from outside...Was that you?...And how did you get here? Where's Kyoko?" he asked, anxiously. It was unusual to see her without her little baby girl in her arms.

"I'm okay, Haruka-kun, don't cry...he hasn't done anything to me yet. He left me here and told me to wait, said he heard something coming from outside...Was that you?...And how did you get here? Where's Kyoko?" he asked, anxiously. It was unusual to see her without her little baby girl in her arms.

"Arael helped me," she said quietly. "We thought Adam had seen us... So I told him to get Kyoko to safety. I'm so glad you're all right... I was so worried about you... I was afraid you were going to die."

[Luminesa]

"Arael helped me," she said quietly. "We thought Adam had seen us... So I told him to get Kyoko to safety. I'm so glad you're all right... I was so worried about you... I was afraid you were going to die."

He took her head and placed it against his shoulder gently, comforting her. "Hey...as long as they're safe...as long as you're safe...that's all that matters to me..." He folded his wings across her back, and one could feel the fire right beneath them, moving steadily through him and warming Haruka's body, causing her to relax.

[Luminesa]

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?

Hamiri rolled her eyes, annoyed that Raven wasn't listening to her, but she decided to just let things ride. "Jack, Joaquin, Ama, Rachel, Rosie, Ianar, and I can go fight Loki. Charlotte, Patriah, Lux, Ryu, Charlie and you can go fight Hades. That sounds fair, unless I forgot anyone," Hamiri answered.

He folded his wings across her back, and one could feel the fire right beneath them, moving steadily through him and warming Haruka's body, causing her to relax.

She did relax, and closed her eyes, drinking in the comforting feeling of being close to the man she loved.

"...I love you," she whispered. "I'm so glad you're all right."

Ianar half glanced at Hamiri, hearing his own name
"Sounds fine to me"
He still focused his attention to Rosalie

[Castle Crashers]

Nyx huffed, crossing her arms. "I can go after Loki, especially since it seems it'll be dark and cold there."

Cade shrugged. "I can go to either...but I'd rather be with Charlotte..."

[Luminesa]

He took her head and placed it against his shoulder gently, comforting her. "Hey...as long as they're safe...as long as you're safe...that's all that matters to me..." He folded his wings across her back, and one could feel the fire right beneath them, moving steadily through him and warming Haruka's body, causing her to relax.

She did relax, and closed her eyes, drinking in the comforting feeling of being close to the man she loved.

"...I love you," she whispered. "I'm so glad you're all right."

"...I love you too..." he whispered. Opening his eyes as he held her, he scanned the room for a moment. "...So where did Arael go? Back with the team?...And how are the others doing without me?"

[Luminesa]

Hamiri rolled her eyes, annoyed that Raven wasn't listening to her, but she decided to just let things ride. "Jack, Joaquin, Ama, Rachel, Rosie, Ianar, and I can go fight Loki. Charlotte, Patriah, Lux, Ryu, Charlie and you can go fight Hades. That sounds fair, unless I forgot anyone," Hamiri answered.

Nyx huffed, crossing her arms. "I can go after Loki, especially since it seems it'll be dark and cold there."

Cade shrugged. "I can go to either...but I'd rather be with Charlotte..."

Seeing she had forgotten those two, Hamiri turned to them and smiled. "Oh! Right, I'm sorry...Well, Nyx, I think since Hades is the one who controls shadows, you'd be better-off there. Hyperion can go with you, too, if he wants. You," she said, turning to Cade, "can go with Thanatos and the others and fight Loki."

[Syrixces]

Raven smiled, and snapped his fingers, both portals, lighting up, ready to go with power, darkness hissing through one, and snow and hail, flailing through the other. He stepped up to the icy one, robes and hood flapping in the wind, as he adjusted his mask, pale blue eyes glowing with power from behind the mask.

Alrighty then. Leave behind some kind of message, just in case your boyfriend as his traitor of a maser, happen to come back while we're gone. Good? Excellent. Meet you back here relatively soon, I guess.

And with that, he leaped through the portal, landing in a snow filled valley, that sat within Loki's ice filled mountainous realm, his frigid keep off in the distance.

Hyperion

Hyperion stepped up, nodding, floating slightly off the ground, and glowing with bright white power.

If no one minds, I'll go with Nyx to Hades' realm. And no, you don't get to object, Shen. Sorry.

He said, with a chuckle.

[Ranoria]

Raven smiled, and snapped his fingers, both portals, lighting up, ready to go with power, darkness hissing through one, and snow and hail, flailing through the other.

Shen Lung snorted, "I'll have mi' lady's hand, don't let your guard down, titan." He bowed deeply, then stepped back into the portal Raven had gone through, the arctic chill no burden for him, and smirked, rolling his shoulders a bit before looking around. "I like the weather." He raised a hand, snow beginning to swirl around it, "The winter is just so much fun to play around with."

Ryujin, meanwhile, went through that to Hades's realm, Mourir close behind him, armor forming around him as he stepped through, just in case. The death god was more laid back, knowing that very few direct attacks were much of a threat to him.

Jack
"So what do we do now? Do we head back to the rest of the group so that we can regroup? It would seem more beneficial for us to be with the rest of the group rather than being in small groups like this."

Cyrek
Cyrek decided that he might as well go ahead and go through the portal to go to Loki's realm, since there had already been two people selected for Hades' realm, and he figured he should at least try to balance it out. He jumped through the portal, landing in the same snow filled valley as Raven.

[Luminesa]

Raven smiled, and snapped his fingers, both portals, lighting up, ready to go with power, darkness hissing through one, and snow and hail, flailing through the other. He stepped up to the icy one, robes and hood flapping in the wind, as he adjusted his mask, pale blue eyes glowing with power from behind the mask.

He said, with a chuckle.

Patriah growled almost-animalistically at him, but Hamiri put a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, you've got work to do," she advised him. She then headed-off after Loki, and Patriah grumbled to himself as he went after Hades.

Don't worry, Thana...we're gonna get you back soon, I promise...we just have to get through this first...

Shen Lung glanced at Hamiri as she stepped through the portal, then smiled, seeing that she wasn't exactly dressed for the cold, "You know, it probably would've been a good idea to wear a very, very thick coat. We are basically in the arctic. But I can make it warmer, if you want." He looked almost excited to be in the desolate, frozen lands, that mainly being because no matter where he was, the environment was his weapon.

[Theocretes]

Ianar got up and stretched
"Lets do this! Rosalie you ready?"
Ianar was excited to be back on the team

[Luminesa]

He looked almost excited to be in the desolate, frozen lands, that mainly being because no matter where he was, the environment was his weapon.

Hamiri looked at the leather jacket she was wearing, as well as her leggings and shoes, and she shook her head. "No, actually, I think I'm fine. I think you're honestly just trying to move in on me or something," she answered, adjusting her sword so he saw the black metal gleam in the cold sun.

He blinked, then rolled his eyes, "Sure...have fun in your autumn clothes." He wasn't wearing anything out of the ordinary either, but he had raised the temperature around him, "Where's this Loki guy anyways? I'm going to make sure he has a wonderful time in this snow."

She was a bit cold, but right now she tried to ignore it. She was in a bad mood, and she wanted to get rid of that bad mood by cutting down the Trickster God for betraying the team. None of this makes sense...it just doesn't...Why would Loki turn so quickly like that?...Unless he was brainwashed or something... she thought, as she stared down at the snow while she walked.

Shen Lung followed, sitting atop a cirrus cloud, and sniffed the air, trying to identify just where Loki was. But, as he expected, he got nothing. This was a trickster god they were searching for, after all. He sighed, playing with another bit of cirrus cloud between his fingertips, bored.

[Luminesa]

Ianar got up and stretched
"Lets do this! Rosalie you ready?"
Ianar was excited to be back on the team

Rosalie smiled and nodded. "...I'm ready!" she answered. She then followed him and the others into the cold realm of Loki. As soon as she arrived, she started to shiver, and she huddled close to Ianar, who walked near her. "...It's so cold..." she murmured.
