The Big Push

#16

~I have my plasma rifle Swix. I just want to be sure you and the little one stay safe.~

It's a risky gambit....but it's the cards we were dealt

#17

~Got it~ The Split sent back to them all, rummaging around in the Armoury she found the light armour that Thorn was after, and got the blue vial out of the cupboard that Jent had said. She'd almost forgotten about that...

Coming back out, she finished the bowl and left it on a shelf with a shadow arm before she walked into the Comms Room. "Alright, I've got what was asked for"

Jent · #18

"Agreed then, let's go check up on 'miss cranky' then," Jent quipped, adjusting the visual feed further out around the Temple. "Strange though, didn't expect her to barge at the doors loudly like that. You'd imagine she have a little more style than that."

The huldra nodded as he went to over the computer interface, finding it odd as well. Sighing, she broke back to a smile when the Avali walked into the room hesitantly as she waved at him. "Hi Rechomi" spoke in a cheerful tone. "That's great, got any ideas so far?"

~Should be something out here...~ Pondering, his mind eased up upon watching Swix enter the comms room.

The Collector · #19

Outside, once the Jentil had adjusted the video feed to look further out they would see not one but two Agents stalking around, each on opposite sides of the Temple to each other.
The fiery black haired Nightmare Fangblaze snorted flames as he paced, his hooves sending up sparks as he walked.

On the other side was the bronze-winged, black eyed Manticore, pacing on the ground on the other side, black eyes staring at the Temple.

Around each a few crows of the same origins as the ones that had been sent flew lazily in circles around them or perched in trees.

<hr />

At the lab that held Dentanus, there was a banging from outside and underground on the walls. C herself however was nowhere to be seen.

#20

"Alright Knights. Swix, I want you in here coordinating and leading the team. Lock the door after us. Jent, Thorn, you're with me. Lets go see who's a knocking on our door" Tom said, turning and leaving the comms room, plasma rifle in hand.

Jent · #21

Jent frowned heavily, scanning through the intruders the feed picked up, none pleasing to the eye or mind as he listened to the leader speak to them. "Got it Tom," he answered back, noting to the huldra to stay in the comms room for now.

~Swix...~ The Distortionist spoke privately to her, departing the chair to follow after Tom. ~... Could you bring up your Endo-Skeleton after we leave? As having a second 'Swix' might confuse them if they so happen to barge past us.~

---

Grathon studied the strong vibrations in the earth. Banging, the force quaking the dirt around, he glanced back at Dentanus with a tilted gaze at him. The sounds troubled the being as several arms sprouted from below to 'watch' for any intruders.

#22

The Animatronic Pirate Dolphin was "walking" down the path leading two the temple. Well as close to walking as he could get with his flippers. Quiet honestly, it looked like a weird shuffling with an odd hop or two when he wanted to make just a little more speed. As he went along, he admired his ceremonial dagger while singing his favorite tune.

"Yarrr Yarrr Yarr yarrr yaaaaaarrrr yaarrrrr yarrrr" (Roughly translated: It's a wonderful day for a sacrifice, a beautiful day for a sacrifice, Would you be mine? Could you be mine?)

In fact, he was so enraptured with his jolly little song that he was completely oblivious to the world around him -- that was until he bumped right into the Manticore with such force he was knocked backwards.

"Yarrrrr" he questioned, as he looked up at the Manticore.

#23

"Alright Tom" Swix said, trying not to sigh until she saw the two Agents on the screen that Jent was looking at, that made her frown as well. Passing the Distortionist as he got up to go the Split suddenly turned and hugged him tightly before she walked over to Thorn-Dancer with the light armour she'd picked out for her. "Here you go Thorn" she said as she smiled at the Floran and offered the armour "Go have a blast beating things up"

~Alright Jent~ She sent to him, noting his was private and so doing her own back ~I will definitely do that. Though I hope we won't need it ~

Mage of Mist · #24

Thorn looked to the screen seeing the Agents "Not good..." she chirped worriedly, then took the armour "Thanksssss, Floran will. Will punch Agentsss!.. Well, maybe not Fangblaze, but will punch Manticore for Sssswix!" She said with a grin to Swix as she equipped the light armour, then turned in follow after Tom and Jent, getting out her energy rifle as she followed.

Rechomi blinked and watched as Jent, Tom and Thorn all walked past. "Er... I'll... Guard the comms room then just in-case any Agents barge in then?" He said awkwardly.

Jent · #25

Jent blushed lightly upon the sudden hug by the Split, feeling a tad worried of what hardship he might face out there, yet encouraged at the tender gesture she did for him. Smiling, he continued to follow Thorn and Tom as the mental talk went on. ~Hope so too, Swix~

Standing beside Rechomi, the huldra nodded in agreement. "We both will stand guard here together, then. We'll take care of this," Solveig beamed, relieved she can be of use and not a hindrance.

#26

"Good plan, Solveig, Rechomi." Tom then turns around and starts walking off, addressing Thorn and Jent behind him"

"When we go out, stay close Watch each others back. And do not attack unless provoked. We do not know what her intentions are just yet, but we know what she is capable of. Everyone ready?" Tom finished as they approached the top of the stairs, pausing next to the switch.

Jent · #27

"Understood Tom," Jent nodded in agreement, keeping a hand to his side ready to draw the Emerald Bow from the dimensional pocket. If they could force them back in a possible attack, the Distortionist believed the relic should keep them at bay for longer.

#28

In a nearby cave, Blackfoot is preparing the ritual. He has a unicorn in the center of a glyph, drawn with the unicorn's blood. It has been difficult to slay the Unicorn, as was procuring the proper ceremonial dagger needed for the ritual, but if it would stop DP and his wayward "Knights", it would all be worth it. Candles were lit at each of the key points in the glyph. Looking at this Tinsel cobra, Blackfoot shifts into his Gargoyle form....no reason not to be cautious.

"You ready....lets do this."

He turns to the glyph, and places his hands at two junctions in the glyph, and recites the encantation

"Hail Collector....Queeen of Evil.....Darkness be thy name......"

The Collector · #29

The Manticore

Bumped into the mythical beast shook his mane before narrowing his black eyes at the Animatronic Pirate Dolphin, bearing fangs "You again! Watch where you're going you miserable amalgamation of mechanics! I'm working here!"

Annoyed, he started to stalk off.

Nearby Cave

As Blackfoot recites the summoning ritual for The Collector the black ooze that the being was made out of poured from each point of the glyph on the floor, pooling in the centre before slowly forming into the half wyvern, half humanoid form that was The Collectors favourite on Pax. The being turned her glowing red eyes towards the gargoyle. "Well, well" she drawled "It's been such a long time since someone did this summoning ritual right, I am impressed. Now... What do you want?"

#30

Blackfoot

My Queen....That "man" claiming to be a god must be stopped. He and his knights bring nothing but chaos. If it pleases you, Give me the power to destroy them once and for all. Enable me to finally stop him
