I'll update this map each time.[/hider] Runa grimaced, her eyes darting over towards Lance. One of the combatants had been thrown off of Wizard Tower by Chthon. Another was seriously wounded. And then the woman, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard... Runa bit her lip. She knew that a spell that strong, one cast by the Elder God of Chaos himself, there would be no undoing it. There was no coming back from a [b]Vanish[/b]. No one who had ever been [b]Vanished[/b] had ever been seen again. [color=#a81a75]"The ExtraOrdinary is in Valhalla now. She made her ancestors proud,"[/color] Runa said. The Sorcerer Supreme took a moment, making an ancient sign for warding off of evil. However, it did little good - Chthon was already present. The Elder God was snarling inside of Rhys' mind. It would feel like Rhys' insides were crawling with snakes and Rhys would be able to sense that he was losing control. Chthon was becoming stronger and stronger. [i]Foolish boy, you are NOTHING! You dare to challenge my decisions?![/i] Chthon spat. Rhys' arm flung out involuntarily, allowing Chthon/Rhys to catch themselves on the stairs and not topple over. [i]We are here for the Mistress of Chaos - for the woman called Halley! These are all distractions![/i] The Elder God then started to prepare another spell, aiming to have it target Halley downstairs but it missed, hitting someone else instead... Runa glanced back at Arnora, giving her a slight smile. [color=#a81a75]"I'm borrowing it for the moment - but it was given to me originally by my grandfather, forged by the Phoenix for him,"[/color] Runa explained. She tried using the cast to create a barrier, sealing them at the top of the stairs, but it was no use. There was too much [b]Chaos Magyk[/b] in the air for her to do anything.

I'll update this map each time.[/hider] [color=ed145b]"No,"[/color] Halley repeated, looking Cuyler dead in the eyes. [color=ed145b]"I know that you think you can help here, but you can't. One punch from the Hulk and you won't feel it - your spirit will fly out of you and go straight to Valhalla before you could even [i]blink[/i]. Know your place - just because you are related to us does not mean that you have the strength or worth to be one of us,"[/color] Halley snapped at him. The Hulk was a bit dazed with each one of Nova's hits with the hammer, roaring and screaming as he tried to fling her off of him. So many people were coming at him at once, however. Sylvi began to play a tune that calmed him for a moment and then Myth had sent in the puppy brigade! There was one thing in the world that the Hulk loved no matter what: puppies. The green monster seemed confused at first, before he started to gently try to pet the little dogs and slowly began to shrink back down, until Myth's soon to be father in law was standing there. Completely nude. [color=6ecff6]"Ugh, Grandpa, put some clothes on!"[/color] Astrid shrieked, covering her eyes. "...Sorry..." Banner mumbled, frantically looking for something to cover himself with. This was really awkward. However, Banner wasn't the only one experiencing changes. Upstairs, Chthon had attempted to cast a spell on Halley and he missed. It instead had hit Sylvi and Antonije's eyes widened, looking at where his girlfriend had been. There was now an adorable puppy. [i][color=cc33ff]Silvija?![/color][/i] His siblings sped on over, cooing and giggling a bit. [color=7ea7d8]"Wow, I always said your girlfriend was a bit of a bitch!"[/color] Marya giggled, petting the dog/Sylvi calmly. [color=cc33ff]"Not funny, damn it Marya!"[/color] Meanwhile, Myrus nodded slightly. He was incredibly shaken and every breath hurt, but he was otherwise unharmed. [color=ff0000]"What.... what was that?"[/color] he asked, his red/pink eyes darting over towards Banner and instantly regretting it. [color=ff0000]"Lennox, can you get him some clothes? Please? It's... disgusting,"[/color] he said, regretting the word but there was nothing else for it. He had come for a wedding, not to see a man turn into a monster and then end up in the nude. [hr][hr][@KazAlkemi][@BlueSky44]: Navi had suddenly decided that it was time to take a nap. She was a little kid after all and it was waaay past her bedtime. Falling asleep in Zekarra's arms, she was hugging her and making little sleepy snores. Rainbrook had gone outside with Zekarra as well, scared that he was feeling like ice. "Zekarra... Something is happening to me," he whispered to her. He then peered out into the darkness and saw Ahote with Thia. "He's hurt - did he fall?!" Rainbrook exclaimed, forgetting his own plight as he ran over to the man. It didn't help that as they passed outside, the Floor had told them [i]IT IS A LOVELY EVENING[/i] instead of its usual insults. That only happened when the situation was truly dire. [@LadyRunic]: Emma nodded, escorting Skaoi out of the room and locking it up again tightly. "Will that be all, miss?" he asked her softly. He didn't want to get in trouble, but she was a bit of a strange one and he wasn't all too certain what exactly she was looking for. "Is there anything else I can do for ya?" [@FantasyChic]: Jadis was about to retaliate, only she had forgotten that Wanda was also present. Wanda used her own powers to tie up Jadis with a scarlet sort of magical energy. "I take it you would like the honors of getting information from this harlot?" Wanda asked, nodding at Fleur. She had a good grip on Jadis and the woman wouldn't be going anywhere.
