"We leave now, if we're all ready for the cold."
"Would you like an exact location or to find them with some help?"
"Always am." He puts on a pair of John Lennon style glasses with tinted lenses as they prepare to go.
"Same here,"
Ghalens robes drop all pretense, and he appears in full combat armor, the robes flowing around them. He has a rifle slung over his back, and a sword hilt on his hip, appropriate for a 2 handed sword.
His voice sounds tinny and mechanical through his helmet...
"Shall we?"
From the glowing portal steps a figure, clad head to foot in steel, on the armor are the repeated symbols of a winged sword, a horn bow and arrow, and a runed warhammer. Encraved in the center of a set of balanced scales . on his left arm is a kite shield, glowing faintly from an inner light. In his right hand he holds a hand-and-a-half sword that has a blade that flickers with silver flame. Dripping from the joints in his armor is crimson blood...
He steps toward the being from the Lower Planes and silently intones a plea to his gods. Addressing the Marilith, he speaks in a soft voice, "Evil One, leave this world and spare the lives of these people... I sought you out because I believed you had information about my father, but my own wishes are not worth the lives of these people..."
Tyrrin double checks that all her castings of cold-protection were in place before nodding to Oneiro. "Ready."
The Marilith whips forth the hand that holds the entrapped Bobby and sends him flying through the wall. He crashes through and lands in a bloody, charred heap in the streets, not too far from a passing elven youth.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the burning."
"Would you like an exact location or to find them with some help?"
"Whatever is less troublesome for you, sensei." Midori says, still Maintaining her submissive bowing posture.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the burning."
The warrior's aura flares white blue, "I will grant you a single chance to return to your firey realm" his voice is calm and his sword is held ready as he scans the room from side to side
noting the other people cowering in various corners of the room Yrrin prepares to defend them
Phaezeriel turns to the sound of splintering wood, sees the charred body, and speeds toward the hole it made.
As he moves in, Phaezeriel splits his mind in two.
Encraved in the center of a set of balanced scales "
Ehos rushes over as the morning crowd around screams and begins to scatters. Ehos looks down at the smoking husk of what was probably a person, and looks over... it.. was some kind of devil. Some kind of warrior facing it down. No weapon, and no armour. Ehos picks up a shattered piece of wall and charges the devil. Stupid, brave or suicidal. Ehos didn't stand a chance... but maybe he'd be a distraction and give the warrior an opening.
he scans the room from side to side

he scans the room from side to side
Ehos's charge is noted and the warrior shifts slightly into the path of the bullrusher... he would rather defend the brave fool than harm the demon
Encraved in the center of a set of balanced scales "
Having just arrived at the hole in the wall , Phaezeriel looks back out at the sound of running feet.
Ehos collides full on with Phaezeriel, who is, as yet, invisible, and knocks him invisibly sprawling.
Encraved in the center of a set of balanced scales "
Yrrin senses the presence of two other very evil creatures hidden somewhere in the shadows of the warehouse.
Signaling the room's main transporter, and magic swirls around the group, soon replaced by snow. Oneiro points to the mountain nearly hidden from the snow.
"This is the closest we can get without using our own magic or walking."

Flying toward the Sun Lang sits quietly apparently neither of Ignace's parents find too much amusing. Lang just quietly starts to meditate to mentally prepare himself for whatever may lay ahead.
Vai steps away a little from the table, mindful of the cafeteria setting, and closes her eyes, morphing from her meager half-elf frame to the form of a large-sized Blue Dragon. There is a saddle on her now, fit to carry a person, and her diamond necklace still dangles around her throat. "Does it make sense now?" [asks.. her voice has barely changed at all, perhaps a little deeper. She paws the ground, a little nervous. It wasn't like people at the school didn't know she was a dragon. She's very sure to suppress her fear aura.[/i]
Dom stumbles backwards falling over his chair. "Ouch." Now laying on his back. He starts crawling to his feet. "A little warning would have been nice." He calls out while holding his chest.
Ehos also tumbles to the ground, but it is up And running again with relative ease, still holding his improvised weapon.
::At least I'll stop being such a f$+!-up!:: ,Ehos shouts back through the telepathy, obviously not in a good emotional or mental state.
Signaling the room's main transporter, and magic swirls around the group, soon replaced by snow. Oneiro points to the mountain nearly hidden from the snow.
"This is the closest we can get without using our own magic or walking."
Tybalt counts the people there.
Tyr.Jera.
Onei.
Dave.
Gahl.
"Say no more." He says with a grin.
"Everyone join hands. I may be useful yet." He says with his grin still there. He takes Dave's hand as he could be a neutral heated link to the others.
Dave raises his hands "hold on Tybs, maybe we should find out why this is the closest the teleporter could bring us, maybe get a plan of action, before we charge in there blind" Dave tries to say this to Tybs as reasonably as possible so as not to hurt his feelings
Mel goes with Ginni still a little worried about what is going to happen
I won't forget everybody will I, or worse will I forget my music?
"Good point. Thanks. I'm glad you thought of that." :)
He cocks his head and looks at Oneiro. "So . . . . Ya. Those questions." :)
"Right you are." Rio says from behind the group. "But my attention is rather divided at the moment. What can I help with?"Tryko'Sam gives a bit of a 'I told you so', gesture, as Ryo does his appearing act.
He doesn't speak up though, this was the ninja-team's gig.
What he does do, though, he glance over at Zilla and ask, "So, what about you, doll? You a student here, looking for a boy friend, or what's your story? Wanna come help some ninja girls get their family rivalry canceled?"
A bit flirtatious, but nothing too serious.
With a slight giddy tone. "Am I a student? Maybe? That is a good question. I probably got added to the school during the control switch. If I want a boyfreind depends on whos asking. My story a bit long so maybe later. If it's to help Midori of course."
"I'm not the guy who ported us here, and I don't know why we aren't closer. Maybe it's the book."
"The shuttle will drop us off near the vent and then head on up to the landing pad. When it's time to leave we'll either be able to head up through the vents and walk to the rendezvous site or I have a radio to call the shuttle to let them know where to wait for us if we need to go out the same way we came in."Lang looks to the others in the shuttle
any thought as to how we can approach this? will the shuttle wait for us? are we going to just be dropped off at the vent?
Oh Okay, Lang seemed a bit shocked at the totally business demeanor of Pyra. I'm glad I'm not in her class
I guess all of you guys are coming also? I do appreciate this. and Mr delsol please try to consider reversing your decision to destroy the sun. especially if we find something important up there
Sorchan grimaced. "If you find something important, we'll see if it can be saved, but....this place will become our tomb if we can't let go of it now. There's a lot about the firebirds here that you still don't know. That you shouldn't know at your age."
"Yay." She says simply, falling for his ploy quite easily.
:)
She gathers the things there and sets off to find Chara.
Chara is roller skating through the halls. She has pillows tied all over her body to try and minimize the damage if she falls down.
"Hi, Sara!" :)
"Miss Jones, is it?" Repp thinks, recalling his conversation with Treisdan the previous evening. "She seems quite popular."
"I will go ahead and find her, and let her know then." Repp says graciously, moving a little quicker, his hand touching the wall and leading him towards Miss Jones at a decent pace.
The arrows lead him to a door in the section of the dorms where the teacher's living quarters are.
He looks at Ginni slightly hurt that he shouldn't come. "Ok I'll step back. But If it happens again come get me. I can snap her out of it. To bad it won't be a permanet fix." After Ginni explained her ability think face grew red. He sat down next to Tami. "Has she ever told you about some of my thoughts?" He whispers to Tami.
"Ginni goes to a lot of trouble not to overhear anyone's thoughts. She would never blab about something she did overhear unless it involved immediate danger to someone," she whispered back.
He had smiled more this morning than possibly his entire life, and now was no different. "Thank you, you have helped me so much already. I would really enjoy your company. If I can not find any organization I believe training an apprentice would be a decent idea." After he continues to finish his meal."I shall do that. Besides there is much of your world I would like to learn." He tells her before eating his eggs and fruit."Well, let me know if there's anything I can help with with that. I'm not exactly an expert, but I have lived on Agartha my whole life, so there's that."
"Well, this is a school, so you should have no lack of qualified applicants for such," she said, smiling back. "And this is the ideal location due to the unique properties of the library here."
"Would you like an exact location or to find them with some help?""Whatever is less troublesome for you, sensei." Midori says, still Maintaining her submissive bowing posture.
"We are trying to find shinobi....an exact location might be better, if it's not more trouble...also we will need permission to leave school grounds for those of us currently present plus one more, please sir," Kitty said with a respectful bow.
Mel goes with Ginni still a little worried about what is going to happen
I won't forget everybody will I, or worse will I forget my music?
"Not at all. I'm just going to teach you how to protect your own thoughts from getting confused with someone else's. And Miss Jones will hopefully be able to help you sort out the difference so your brain will stop getting confused. At least that's what it looked like was happening to me."
Vai steps away a little from the table, mindful of the cafeteria setting, and closes her eyes, morphing from her meager half-elf frame to the form of a large-sized Blue Dragon. There is a saddle on her now, fit to carry a person, and her diamond necklace still dangles around her throat. "Does it make sense now?" [asks.. her voice has barely changed at all, perhaps a little deeper. She paws the ground, a little nervous. It wasn't like people at the school didn't know she was a dragon. She's very sure to suppress her fear aura.[/i]Dom stumbles backwards falling over his chair. "Ouch." Now laying on his back. He starts crawling to his feet. "A little warning would have been nice." He calls out while holding his chest.
"Are you alright, melnestae?"
"Is it alright if I come along as well, Vai? I'm not much good in combat, but I might be able to assist the wounded as well."
"Vai, why don't you carry the others, and I can teleport myself. I want to tell Ginni where I'm going first."
He then heads off to do just that, moving off quickly to catch up to his girlfriend before she gets too far away.
"Alright, well, it sounds like you're on a similar level to Dara, perhaps a bit behind. He's still learning his alphabet. So you basically have no previous educational experience at all?" she asked through clenched teeth.
"You have my permission. Give me a few moments to look, and you can go." His eyes cloud over, like grey mist covers them. "They are at [insert destination here]."
"I'm not the guy who ported us here, and I don't know why we aren't closer. Maybe it's the book."
"You did say that the books seem to test those who seek them out, am I right in that? If so, I suspect it will likely ward away any direct teleportation attempts. Attempts to skip whatever challenges it may have prepared for us. Which is why we were deposited here, rather than closer to our true destination. Shall we?" Tyrrin says conversationally, looking to the mountain. "Tybalt, can you do something about the snowstorm, or can we wait a few minutes while I gain control of the weather in the area?"
"You have my permission. Give me a few moments to look, and you can go." His eyes cloud over, like grey mist covers them. "They are at [insert destination here]."
Tryko'Sam nods and grins at Zilla sitting on his shoulder, he really doesn't have much more to say to that conversation at this point.
When Ryo gives the info, however, he looks to the others and says, "Well, guess we have a clue now. Ready when you folks are."
Sorchan grimaced. "If you find something important, we'll see if it can be saved, but....this place will become our tomb if we can't let go of it now. There's a lot about the firebirds here that you still don't know. That you shouldn't know at your age.""The shuttle will drop us off near the vent and then head on up to the landing pad.

You are right Master Sorchan. But it is also true that people my...our age also can see things without the blinders of prejudice. we are far more understanding to the truth than to lies or omissions in the name of protecting the innocent.
Lang stop and backs down some realizing he may be speaking out of place toward a superior but only enough to show Sorchan respect.
Lang bows to him, I'm sorry if I spoke out of place but I would be doing a disservice to myself withholding my thoughts
"Not at all. I'm just going to teach you how to protect your own thoughts from getting confused with someone else's. And Miss Jones will hopefully be able to help you sort out the difference so your brain will stop getting confused. At least that's what it looked like was happening to me."Mel goes with Ginni still a little worried about what is going to happen

once where they need to be Melody takes a seat.
Ginni, before we start what can you tell me about Tam? I don't want to see Dom hurt. I've never seen so in love with someone and he is afraid of the future with her. I need to help, I don't think I can bear any more of his pain than I already do.
"You have my permission. Give me a few moments to look, and you can go." His eyes cloud over, like grey mist covers them. "They are about an hour away from the school, almost direct east. There is a bridge that crosses a river there, so if you find the river, follow it to the bridge."
"Domo Arigatou, Sensei. Please ensure Balckscales-sensei gets our message. She would be very angry with us if she thinks we left without permission." Midori straightens finally and looks and Kitty and then to her other friends. "Mina-san, Ikimasu!!" the little ninja says excitedly half-walking and half-running in the direction of the front doors.
"You did say that the books seem to test those who seek them out, am I right in that? If so, I suspect it will likely ward away any direct teleportation attempts. Attempts to skip whatever challenges it may have prepared for us. Which is why we were deposited here, rather than closer to our true destination. Shall we?"

Maybe it's the book."
dave nods figureing as much "hey, while tybalt.. Or you.. Deal with the whether, would you guys be willing to join in Skeets' collective, this way he can heal you if need be without having to touch you or you be unconscious or something"
The arrows lead him to a door in the section of the dorms where the teacher's living quarters are.
Repp knocks loudly at the door, quite aware of the still-early hour.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I ju--" Vai says a little sheepishly to Dom, pawing the ground slightly with one of her foreclaws. Her tail is tightly curled up so that she's doesn't accidently bash someone with it. She stops mid-sentence as Phaezeriel's telepathy once again invades her mind.
"We have to go now, now. Phaezeriel says there's a fiend killing people in the north section of Kuros... looks like a warehouse of some kind. Let's hurry." Vai reverts to her half-elf size and casts Haste on Ace, Fei, Dom, Tamina and herself. "Ace, Fei, we'll see you there. Fei... stay safe, please." that last is said almost pleadingly, and then Vai quickly leads Dom and Tamina outside, their steps boosted considerably by Vai's spell. Once outside, Vai immediately shifts into her large dragon form and and hugs the ground, allowing both of her passengers to climb aboard. "Hold on! Don't worry I won't drop you!" Vai says, spreading her wings, a pang of guilt appears at that last sentence, remembering she made the very same promise to Dara.
