*****

Muerte led the beast to the garage of the dilapidated property that they had arrived to with Jacque walking the bike behind him. He entered a code into a hidden panel which unlocked the door. Careful to not jostle Cadence too much he knelt down and opened the garage then coaxed the alien panther into it.  Once Jacque was in with the bike he closed and relocked the door.

They made their way into the house proper, minus the panther, and Muerte called out, [color=39b54a]"Jesus!? Jesus!?"[/color]

A sweater clad figure peeped around the corner of the hall cautiously. [color=a187be]"Who's that?"[/color] He asked pointing to the green-haired woman nervously.

[color=39b54a]"Its ok Jesus, she's with me. She helped me and Jacque get here."[/color] The figure made no move into the room but did creep a little more around the wall.

 [color=a187be]"Is she hurt?"[/color] 

[color=39b54a]"No, just tired. She is one of us and her powers drained her. She's just asleep. Hey Cadence."[/color] He began to try to rouse her, though gently so. After a few moments her fist flew out and landed solidly on his jaw, which he was not prepared for and his head actually turned with the momentum. [color=39b54a]"Ow!"[/color] Jacque snorted.

Lungs heaving as she panickily look around her as she tried to take her situation in, she then saw the familiar skull covered face and relaxed slightly. Than noticing that her fist had made impact with her friend's face, a small mischievous smile crossed her face as she giggled and said, [color=8dc73f]"Morning, Mr.Muerte"[/color]

Wriggling her way out of his arms, she got her feet back on the ground before looking around at where she now was. She didn't recognize the area at all but there was that woman that Mr.Muerte liked and there was only this one other guy that seemed to be staring at her. Not really worried about her situation at the moment, Louisa took it in all in stride and started to stretch out her tired body by pulling her arms behind her back. 

Feeling her achy and tired body, Cadence turned to the strange man down the hallway that seemed to be homely with his cute sweater and happily waved at him, [color=8dc73f]"Hiiii! Do you have any coffee?" [/color]

Jesus shrank away from her acknowledgement of him further into the shadows. After a few seconds a timid [color=a187be]"Yes"[/color] came from the hall. 

[color=39b54a]"Jesus,"[/color] Muerte said in a gentle coaxing tone, [color=39b54a]"Its alright. You don't have to be scared, I think she will like you![/color] When there was no response, other than a peculiar shuffling, Muerte sighed and looked back to Cadence. [color=39b54a]"I will get you some coffee, wait here,"[/color] he said making his way towards the kitchen. 

[color=fff200]"Ya gonna get her some f*cking crumpets too?"[/color] Jacque said exasperated, [color=fff200]"Or did you forget that the world is kind of ending?!"[/color] She lit up a cigarette and pulled an ash tray out of her purse while talking.

[color=39b54a]"First off, crumpets are for tea,"[/color] Muerte said calmly from the kitchen, [color=39b54a]"Secondly, unless we can communicate with other sups in the area and actually coordinate a counter attack there is little we can do right now except to catch our breath."[/color] Jacque gave him a 'F*ck you and your f*cking logic' look before taking another drag off of her cigarette, but said nothing further. [color=39b54a]"Jesus? Have you had any luck establishing any sort of communication with anyone?"[/color]

[color=a187be]"No,"[/color] came the reply though it seemed to be coming from a point closer to the ceiling now, [color=a187be]"but I guess its because anyone who would actually be able to help is running off a coded signal. I'd have to either know what channel to ping or broadcast a signal to them and hope they find it. But that would-"[/color]

[color=39b54a]"That would lead them to you, I know, but what if we took the signal elsewhere and broadcasted from there? Would that work?"[/color]

There was a pause before Jesus responded. [color=a187be]"It might...I'd have to build you the transmitter though..."[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Please do, and quickly Jesus. We don't know how much time we have."[/color]

More shuffling, again coming from the ceiling, and then a door closing. Muerte came back into the living room with three mugs of coffee and gave one each to Cadence and Jacque. [color=39b54a]"I hope you like it black, Jesus doesn't do dairy. Or sugar. Or coffee for that matter. This is just the emergency stash he keeps in case I come over."[/color]

Watching the other man retreat more, Cadence tilted her head in curiosity. She wasn't really used to people hiding themselves from her, if anything she was quite used to the opposite. Which just made her more and more curious about this guy who wouldn't come out and meet her. She was about to move to follow the sounds of shuffling and movement but she ended up being caught off guard by Jacque's bitterness.  Louisa was not really one to want to please everyone but she had been hoping that a friend of friend would mean they would also be her friend. Looking at Jacque's form and the way she dragged her cigarette, Louisa felt a little weight in her chest.

[color=8dc73f]"I like crumpets...." [/color]She whispered very quietly to herself, she hadn't known what she had done wrong. She had saved her hadn't she? With a last look at the other woman she decided to shake it off and not let it get to her.

Then as if nothing had happened, she went back to her focus on the voice of the mystery man that now seemed to be coming from the ceiling. Having not had someone as shy or interesting appear in front of her since her childhood, Louisa was ready to explore and figure out the mystery before Muerte entered the room with coffee.

A wide smile grew on her face as she took and cradled the coffee cup within her hands. Her eyes stared at the black liquid treasure for a moment before she remembered Mr. Muerte was standing in front of her.

[color=8dc73f]"Doesn't matter what as long as it's bean juice ," [/color] She said joked and smiled up at him before greedily starting to down the coffee. Even though it was still piping hot, and it burnt her tongue a bit, Louisa welcomed the caffeine to her body with large pipe sounding swallows.

Only when she was fished downing the whole drink, did she return back to the real world and look around at the other two. It was then as if the caffeine had just hit her a  light bulb lit up within her and she instantly remembered the mystery guy. 

[color=8dc73f] "Thank you for the coffee!" [/color] She said happily at the death masked fellow before putting her mug down on the closest surface. She then quickly started to in an almost skip start to go down the corridor towards the sound of where she had heard the closing door. She just had to know what was going on, who was this guy, why did he not want to be seen, why did he sound like he was coming from the ceiling? All the questions rushed through her as she held down the door handle of the door which held all her answers.

[color=39b54a]"Hey Cadence, what are you-?"[/color] Muerte began but the green haired woman was already gone down the hallway like some fleet-footed sprite. [color=39b54a]"Cadence!"[/color] he called again now starting to follow her down the hallway, [color=39b54a]"Jesus is jumpy, don't just barge in!"[/color]

But again he was a half second too late as the door handle turned to reveal a small room that was dark save for the glow of several monitors which seemed to be connected to cameras outside. Amongst the blue tinged light was Jesus, though now more than his upper torso was visible. From the waist up he appeared a gangly lad somewhere in his late teens or early twenties with a baggy purple sweater and a mop of shaggy brown hair. From the waist down however was the abdomen and legs of a large spider in an almost orb weaver configuration. Jesus turned at the disruption to reveal a face that had four sapphire blue eyes; two large ones in the same spot as a human's and two slightly smaller ones higher on his forehead. He had menacing looking mandibles for a mouth and his hands were elongated with claws at the end. At the sight of Cadence in his doorway Jesus let out a small [color=a187be]"Ah!"[/color] before scuttling rapidly across the ceiling into what looked like a walk in closet and closing the door with a snap.

Cadence stood still in the middle of the doorway with large eyes as she stared at the human spider hybrid. It wasn't until he had run away and slammed the door behind him, her normal large smile grew back on her face. He reminded her a lot of the kids she used to know when she was young so she rushed forwards and started to knock on the closet's door in an child's version of a secret knock, 5 knocks/pause/2 knocks.

[color=8dc73f]"Hey, how do you wear pants?"[/color] She loudly asked through the wooden door thinking this was a question that would hopefully make him more comfortable before then also adding a probably simpler question, [color=8dc73f]"How do you walk on the ceiling? I want to walk on the ceiling!"[/color] She thought about using her powers for a moment and hopefully joining her new friend but her exhausted body told her that it was probably not the smartest idea so she then added, [color=8dc73f]"Can you help me walk on the ceiling?"[/color]

There was no response from the closet, even the shuffling had ceased. Muerte entered the room seconds later. [color=39b54a]"Cadence,"[/color] he said in a slight groaning voice, "I told you he was skittish. Now he can't work on our transmitter!" He walked up to the door and after trying the knob and finding it locked he said, [color=39b54a]"Jesus! Come out! We need that transmitter!"[/color]

[color=a187be]"No,"[/color] came the frightened squeak from within.

[color=39b54a]"Jesus!"[/color] Muerte said in strained tones, [color=39b54a]"You are being silly! Get out here right now! The fate of the world may be..."[/color] He stopped as a rapid beeping sound from one of the screens drew his attention. He walked closer, squinting at the image it was displaying before exclaiming in excitement. [color=39b54a]"I think we just found our two first recruits! Jesus, keep working on that transmitter. We are going to go say hello. Come on Cadence!"[/color] He caught her by the sleeve and started leading her from the room.

Louisa looked at Muerte in surprise as he sounded disappointed in her. She had no idea what she had done wrong, she had just wanted to make another friend and this had always worked with her other friends that were different like her. It wasn't like she had meant to scare him away and make it so he wouldn't make the transmitter. She frowned a little as she looked away from both, she really didn't know what she did wrong but what she did know was that she didn't like when the people she thought were her friends were angry with her. She liked it even less that the idea that she may have scared or hurt her possible new friend. 

She hardly even paid attention to the beeping sounds, and when Muerte caught her by the sleeve of her hoodie. She knew there was probably important information about the invasion but she was still stuck on the thought that she had scared the man that reminded her of her childhood.  She quietly talked to the closet door, [color=8dc73f]"I'm sorry if I scared you. I think you're really cool..." [/color] and then she let Muerte lead her out of the room.  Staying unusually quite, Cadence just follow the skull masked man. Her thoughts were still on the spider man and if he was alright. 

Muerte glanced back at her, noticing her face. [i]She's upset...about Jesus? At least she's not afraid of him, but I need her to focus right now![/i] [color=39b54a]"He will be fine, he just doesn't get out much,"[/color] he said reassuringly to her as they made it back to the living room. To Jacque he said, [color=39b54a]"Cadence and I are going to go flag down some help. PLEASE stay here Jacque, Jesus needs someone to watch his back."[/color]

Jacque sighed then shrugged, [color=fff200]"Sure, whatever. You just come back in one piece ok? I wanna kick your ass proper for being late."[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Love you too, Melocotona."[/color]

[color=fff200]"Just go @sshole!"[/color]

Muerte grinned under his mask as he walked out into the garage. [color=39b54a]"Not sure if we want to take your friend here,"[/color] he said gesturing to her alien friend, "They might think we're hostile."

Louisa looked up at her friend and nodded sullenly as she thought about why her new friend might be so scared of her. People were weird and judgmental, hell some had said some pretty rude stuff about her hair colour so she wouldn't be surprised to see someone freaking out at his spider like appearance. She really did try to focus back on the situation but instead she caught the last end of Muerte and Jacque's conversation and she found herself questioning if they were still together even if he had said they weren't. Either way she was starting to feel a heavy feeling in her chest and a knot in her throat as the exhaustion was really starting to get to her. She didn't really know why she felt so bad hearing what Muerte had said but at the moment she had chalked it down to her being annoyed at herself for scaring the spiderman. Either way she was starting to feel as if it was time for her to leave.

Luckily it was about then she saw her big furry friend again and she went running towards the panther like beast while shouting,[color=8dc73f] "Kitty!" [/color]

Not really paying attention to Muerte's comments about seeming hostile, she quickly climbed her way up on to the mount and sat upon the beast with a large smile on her face. If the other supposed heroes couldn't accept a big cat, she didn't see the point of teaming up with them. Leaning down into the big cat's back she rubbed the big cat's neck fur and she whispered to it,[color=8dc73f] "You're a good kitty aren't you, yes you are." [/color]

But then turned to Muerte and with a much happier heart and smile said, [color=8dc73f]"Let's go"  [/color] and then urged the beast forwards. She didn't even really know where she was going or what they were planning to do but that didn't really bother her. She knew at least that they were planning to go back out to the fight and as much as she hated to admit it, it was probably a good idea. That and she really didn't want to go back to the hide out where she felt like she had made a large mistake. She just wanted to get out and free, possibly even have a new adventure.

Muerte sighed, rubbing the back of his head a bit before getting on his motorcycle and opening the garage door. [color=39b54a]"Follow my lead and stay close, ok?"[/color] He revved his way out of the garage and started riding towards the two figures in the sky that he'd seen fighting the aliens.

The large cat like critter, followed and kept up with the motorcycle with well practiced ease. Cadence happily rode the beast, and looked around the city to take in all that had happened since she had last seen it. What mostly seemed to be new where the alien ice sculptures, with everything going on she had nearly forgotten about the invasion. 

---

The large, skeletal dragon roared a fiery breath at the invading aliens, setting ablaze the ones that were not already frozen or in the process of freezing from the Cryophoenix's attacks, limbs smoking with shadows with every movement made. Ruyn dive-bombed into a large group of aliens, tearing at limbs with sharp, serrated teeth, a whiplike tail with a scythe-tipped end slitting throats and dismembering them. The faint sound of a heavy engine and a distinct mechanical purr reached his sensitive hearing and he chomped an alien in half before taking to the sky to breathe flame once more.

[color=f9ad81][i]"Cryo,"[/i][/color] he called. [color=f9ad81][i]"Looks like we possibly have help, over there. Should we go say hello?"[/i][/color] He dipped a wing and nodded in the direction of a man on a motorcycle and what looked like a girl on a large alien feline.

Cryophoenix gleefully impaled several aliens with ice spikes from his wings, sticking their accursed bodies into the side of a destroyed grocery store. He has frozen so many of the aliens at this point that he had lost count of how many he had destroyed, and yet, the damn things keep popping up like mushrooms. Now, though, there were more of the city's defenders in sight. They were somewhat familiar, though unlike Ruyn, he had not been acquainted with them. 

[color=6ecff6]"Well let's say hello to them, then."[/color] He would then fly over towards the man in the motorcycle and the cat lady he was with, gliding right above their heads. [color=6ecff6]"Well, well, well, look at what we have here."[/color]

It took a moment but when Louisa noticed the two forms flying through the air, she stared up at them with the awe and excitement of a child on Christmas morning. Dragons are real?! And there are big ice birds?! She wanted nothing more than to see if she could also make friends with the large creatures. That's when the big ice like phoenix came closer to them and started to glide next to them.  You could practically see the sparkles in her eyes as she took in the large bird, and then when he spoke her draw just dropped. 

[color=8dc73f]"You can talk?!"[/color] She shouted back at Cryo with a large delighted grin on her face, then without thinking she also added, [color=8dc73f]"Can I ride you?!"[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Cadence, not everyone enjoys being a mount. You haven't even introduced yourself yet,"[/color] Muerte said looking over at her. He brought the bike to a stop and turned to look at the two winged fellows. [color=39b54a]"It is nice to have some help at last. I'm Muerte, this is Cadence. Are either of you in contact with any other metas in the city?"[/color]

Ruyn landed in front of them gracefully and with a soft whooshing of air, turning his skeletal head towards them, wicked teeth on display and eyes glowing.

[color=f9ad81][i]"I know [b]of[/b] them, but unlike my companion here, I do not know how to contact them,"[/i][/color] he rumbled. [color=f9ad81][i]"As for introductions, they call me The Grim Reaper, or the Grim Dragon when I am like this. Otherwise, my name is Ruyn Grim. You might say I'm a demon."[/i][/color] Ruyn gave a growling laugh at his little joke, wondering if they got it.

The panther mount started to slow down to a quick stop as it tried to not get closer to the large demon dragon. Cadence sat upon it pouting a little, she knew she was being childish but today was really starting to not feel like it was her day. She couldn't make friends with the spider man, she had in fact scared the guy, and now after she found out dragons and phoenix's were actually real, she couldn't go flying with the phoenix and dragon. This day was starting to be a lot less fun than she had expected when she had first started to meet up with the others. She knew she should have been more aware about the aliens, and care more about the invasion but her truth was that she was much too excited by the mythical creatures appearance to think about the circumstances.

Getting off her mount, she walked closer up to the dragon. On her way she had a few aliens appear out of the corner of my eye, she knew she was already working beyond her limits and so she quickly spoke a limited spell as fast as her brain let her create it.

[color=8dc73f]"Don't mess with this meeting

and start your retreating."[/color]

The bright neon green arose from her and went sending over to the aliens who quickly started to retreat in a blind panic. She didn't pay any more heed to them though as she tried to act like the spell had not worn her out more and instead put out her small hand out to the massive dragon as if to shake his massive claw.

[color=8dc73f]"I've heard people call me a witch but I've never met a dragon or a demon before,"[/color] She joked as she smiled up at the massive creature. Louisa didn't even know if the creature could shake hands with her but after the way she had scared off the man spider hybrid, she was trying to be a little more careful and civil.

[color=6ecff6]"There were others fighting in Sherman Square."[/color] Cryophoenix responded as he too landed in front of them. The size difference between him and Ruyn would be quite marked at that point; Ruyn was as big as a tank, while the Phoenix was not even half as big. [color=6ecff6]"Icon went up to the sky to take the fight to the head of the snake, I assume. I was scouring the area around the square when I came across this friend of mine."[/color]

A pause. [color=6ecff6]"And yes, introductions. I'm the Cryophoenix... everything about me is icy. And yes,"[/color] he glanced at Cadence. [color=6ecff6]"I would give you a ride, but you would get frostbite once you sit. That would be too bad, isn't it?"[/color]

Muerte perked up at the news of Icon and Sherman square. [color=39b54a]"Perfect! We need to coordinate with others if we're going to have an effective counter strike against these invaders. This is, as far as I can tell, an organized military operation and while they may not have suspected Lost Haven to survive the attack we are fast losing ground. Can you give us air support on the way there? As well as point out anyone else who could join us?"[/color]

Ruyn offered his claw for her to shake, the thing serrated and sharp, nearly as long as small log, then answered.

[color=f9ad81][i]"Nice to meet you, little witch,"[/i][/color] he turned to Muerte. [color=f9ad81][i]"My eyesight is excellent for spotting enemies, so yes, I believe air support is doable. Hmmm."[/i][/color] He thought for a moment, then sighed and his form turned to smoke, shrinking until he was in his armor and demonic form; amber eyes and red sclera, black and red-edged scaled skin with long crimson red hair on half of his head, two sharp, curved horns on either side of his head, and large, black leathery wings on his back, mask on his face.

[color=f9ad81]"If we are to communicate, I have to draw my mark either on you or a piece of paper-like material,"[/color] he told Muerte, trusting that the male seemed to know military strategy the best. [color=f9ad81]"Cryo, do you still have the one I gave you last time or did you burn it?"[/color] Changing from dragon to demon took less of a toll on his body and soul, than changing from dragon to humanoid did. 

[color=6ecff6]"Oh, bloody hell."[/color] Cryo shook his head as he too turned to a human. He seemed to look ordinary when not an icy bird; rather short in terms of average height for men in this country and a black trenchcoat. He turned back, as he was burning up precious time by remaining in that form. [color=6ecff6]"I have no idea... I think my mom swept it when she cleaned the house. Oh well, mark it is."[/color]

Shaking the least sharp side of the talon with her own small hands, Cadence smiled up at the dragon. She found herself liking the nickname little witch, it was definitely one of the nicer things she had ever been called.

At Cryo's words, she quickly turned around him in excitement, [color=8dc73f]"Really?!"[/color], she exclaimed at the idea that one day she could actually ride a big ice bird. I mean sure it would probably freeze anyone normal but there was surely a spell for that. 

This was right before she saw he was in his human form though and looking at him change, she couldn't help her face look a little disenchanted. Not only was she starting to realize that this man was not a magical phoenix that she had thought of but she was suddenly starting to realize that she had asked to ride him. Turning away from Muerte and the man that called himself Cryophoenix, she quickly tried to hide her expression as she looked back at the massive dragon. 

That was also when she saw that the dragon had also started to turn into a humanoid. She looked at him and his horns and wings and she had a million questions running through her mind, and the one thought of relief that she didn't also ask if she could ride him.  It was then she reminded herself of the situation she was in and she couldn't but let out an external sigh. These were some of the most interesting beings she had met in a long while, but it all would come second to the fact there was invasion. She understood why she had to focus on the outsiders assault but she admittedly would have rather stay and talk to the two new intriguing strangers. 

[color=8dc73f]"I guess we should stop them before it's too late,"[/color] She said out loud to herself more than anything else. It didn't help that she really have much hope for most humans but deep down her she knew that there were people worth saving, and she wouldn't want anything to happen to them.

Muerte was about to ask about the nature of this 'mark' when a building in the distance was suddenly shot down and collapsed into rubble as he watched. [color=39b54a]"I guess there is little choice,"[/color] Muerte said slightly agitated, [color=39b54a]"Put this 'mark' on me then, but I warn you: if you're after my soul it's definitely not in the best shape. 'Used' rating at best."[/color] He stepped forward and waited, half of him cautious, the other half very curious. If Ruyn was indeed a demon, which Muerte was skeptical of, then he would have a lot of questions after this was all over.

[color=f9ad81]"I am not after your soul, not until your death,"[/color] Ruyn replied. [color=f9ad81]"And even then, it is not a guarantee that I will be the one to Reap it."[/color] He took one of his clawed fingernails and cut into his arm, black blood welling up, and then approached Cryo and began to paint his mark onto the male's jaw below his ear, curving towards his mouth, connecting the two body parts so that the telepathy was strongest. Once done, the mark was already almost dried, and Ruyn tilted his head at Muerte as he walked the short distance to him, asking quiet permission to touch him.

[color=f9ad81]"I am taking a risk to my own life by painting you with my mark,"[/color] he explained. [color=f9ad81]"Whoever has its pattern could find me wherever I am or summon me to kill me or torture me for a very, very long time. And I'm not about to be anyone's prisoner ever again."[/color] There was a dark promise in the last words he spoke.

Muerte considered the man before him for a few seconds before saying, [color=39b54a]"Fair enough,"[/color] and peeling up just enough of his skull mask to allow the mark to be placed where he had just put it on Cryo.

[color=f9ad81]"Thank you,"[/color] Ruyn moved forwards to carefully paint his mark into the other male's face, finishing quickly and hoping Muerte didn't mind him blowing in it a little to make sure the mark wouldn't smear, for if it smeared then it wouldn't work. [color=f9ad81]"There. You can replace your mask now."[/color]

[color=f9ad81][i]"Can you hear me?"[/i][/color] he asked with his mind, directing his thoughts at both men, being careful not to be too loud.

[color=39b54a][i]"Yes,"[/i][/color] came the tentative reply, [color=39b54a][i]"This certainly is different, but it seems far more efficient than shouting.[/i][/color]

[color=f9ad81][i]"Indeed. Most demonic races can do this naturally, in varying degrees with one another, making ambushes and battles easier to coordinate. The strongest connections are between families and lifemates."[/i][/color]

Watching the demon known as Ruyn or Runey as Cadence had already started to nickname him in her mind, paint his blood on the other two she had mixed feelings. She didn't particularly want his blood on her but at the same time she hated being left out.

[color=8dc73f]"What about me?"[/color] She called out to the other members. 

[color=f9ad81]"If you are willing and understand the risk I take,"[/color] he replied, turning to her as he backed up to give Muerte some space.

[color=39b54a][i]"I'm not sure she does...[/i][/color] Muerte interjected with the new mental link. Out loud he said, [color=39b54a]"Only one of us should be taking this risk and I would prefer it be me. Besides, if I get into trouble because of it I will need your help to get me out. Let's go!"[/color] He revved his bike once more, nodding to Ruyn and Cryo.

Ryun nodded once, then crouched and jumped into the air, flapping his wings in a hard, downward, thrust, smoking into his massive dragon form as he did so, circling above the other three.

[color=f9ad81][i]"Ready when you are, Muerte, Cryo."[/i][/color]

​​​​​​​Hearing Muerte's words, Louisa couldn't help but actually feel a bit relieved as she wasn't too sure if she actually did want the black blood touching her skin. Well that and she didn't really like the idea of someone else being in her head.

Thankfully smiling back at Muerte, she then walked back to her panther like mount. She was thankful she had the war beast, since she wasn't so sure how many spells she had left in her at the moment. It was time to enter this battle for real. 

Cryo nodded, speaking his incantation before flying off in his Cryophoenix form, circling at an altitude higher than Ruyn the dragon. [color=6ecff6]"Let's go now and meet up with the others."[/color]

Just before she nudged her feline mount into movement, Louisa knowing all too well that she was not at the top of her game quickly decided to speak a spell to help protect herself in what she was just about to face.

[color=8dc73f]"As I'm about to go into battle

I want myself to embattle

Let me not be pushed into drama

and grant me some protective armour."[/color]

A neon green light spread around her and a moment later, she was wearing a set of magical still glowing green armour. It looked more like something out of a fairy tale then anything actually modern but luckily for her since it was magical it weighed next to nothing on her.  

Turning to look around at her new found comrades, she tried to keep her carefree on her face even though she couldn't help but feel a little anxious at knowing she was wearing herself too thin. She nodded at Muerte, ready to go when he was.

Muerte nodded back to her and took off rapidly down the street. To their new comrades in the air he sent them an abbreviated version of what he'd learned so far about the aliens.

[color=39b54a][i]They appear to have a few set patterns of movement with very little deviation in their ground and air formations. Surprise attacks are very effective, and as long as your movements are unpredictable you are less likely to get hit. Their ships are resistant to impact but not piercing damage. They are also weaker on the inside, so once you are in don't stop. Hit them fast and hard.[/i][/color]

With that he focused on making his way to the Square, stopping only momentarily to gather up some of the weapons that had been discarded by the Cryo's and Ruyn's attacks earlier. He even passed one to Cadence. She had fallen unconscious earlier and he wasn't sure how much of her magic she could do but was sure she had to be close to her limit. Soon, they were in the city proper again and the Square was just around the corner.
