[IC] Harrowmounts Plight

The arrow from Mayumis bow hit Scylla square in the chest. Scylla looked a bit suprised before she fell over as a small lifeless body of child. It it weren't for her being terrifying it would almost be sad. However a high pitched screech could be heard from another room. Lilith came in letting out a banshee scream that would make anyone cover their ears. "Not again! No more!" She yelled. Then without another word the entire room seemed to change to that of a hellish landscape. Large serphents came out of the ground and tried to attack them. One went straight for Mayumi was about to eat her, however it turned out that this creature was just an illusion.
(there mayumi was sort of eaten)

Feon took a deep breath and got her daggers ready. Lilith had what seemed to be floating swords around her, many of them aimed at the heroes as they would attempt to fire at each of them.

Artholath climed halfway down the stairs, seeing the chaos ensue and stopping cold when he saw Scylla fall, dead.

This won't end well at all...

He quickly climbed back up the stairs, frantically scanning rooms for an old device that his master once used. He could only hope it wasn't destroyed the first time...

[Genni]

For a moment Mayumi was shocked at the effectiveness of her diversionary attack. She hadn't expected to even hit the demon child, let alone kill her! The moment quickly passed though as a howling banshee swooped in from the next room, screaming in despair at the invaders. Bringing her bow around and readying an arrow to fire at the woman Mayumi was caught completely unprepared as an overgrown ophidian leapt up out of the ground straight at her.

Mayumi tried to dodge back away from the beast but the monstrosity was too fast for her, its fangs sinking into her neck and coils wrapping themselves around the archer's body, dragging her down onto the floor. At first Mayumi tried to struggle against the snake's tight embrace, her hands wriggling against the smooth scales as she tried to reach for her blade, but then she realised there was no pain. Fear rushed through her at the thought of some paralysing agent already at work in her blood, numbing her senses, but as she twisted her head from side to side Mayumi could feel the fabric of her cloak rubbing against her skin. Unless the paralysing agent was very specific then it was unlikely she'd been poisoned.

Closing her eyes Mayumi drew in a breath and concentrated her mind, letting her brain take command over the senses which were being fooled by the sorcery. After a second Mayumi sat upright, and reaching out called her bow back to her hand. Around her the phantasmagorical serpent's coils simply faded away as the illusion was defeated, and Mayumi wasted no time rising back up onto her feet, gazing around quickly to check on her companions' state.

Diego grasped his makeshift sword and followed Artholath, assuming that he was leading him towards some sort of escape route.

Bakka needed an enemy. He chose one. Soon, the bees were flying straight towards Mayumi.

[karamonnom]

One of them was down; the little girl has been killed by Mayumi's shot. But that still left Lilith, who did not seem very happy about it. Karasuma, doing her best to ignore the pain, staggered to stay on her feet. After this all has ended, she will finally rest in peace.

The scenery changed dramatically , as if they were transported to another world. Floating swords charged themselves at her; and Karasuma struggled to push them back with her sword-arms.

Artholath powered the main rune, opening up a vast, empty looking chamber.

However, it began to quickly fill with energy that sucked several surrounding objects in, creating a large mix of noise. Staring into the newly activated portal, Artholath could only see a black hole with the faintest of shapes on the edges. It brought the faintest hints of a completely unfamiliar emotion to hm - fear. Would he be sucked in, and destroyed forever? Lost in the cosmos, as his creator had called it? Brought to a place where he would be lunch and dinner?

All those possibilities, and then he remembered what was in store for him here. Death. The capture of his soul. Its abuse until his energies would either destroy his host or when he was banished into the mountain.

As small rocks began to fall from the ceiling, he knew he had to make a choice of some sort.

After a moment of consideration, he lept into the portal, vanishing into its murky depths.

---

It had made what would feel like an earthquake in the entire lab. However, it began to weaken, the energies losing their grasp and the chaotic lab stabilizing. Only one more person could enter… but would he?

[SpookySquid]

Diego, was torn. At first, the choice was clear. He wouldn't enter the portal. It was too risky. But then, glimpsing outside at the chaos, he realized that it was far more risky to stay. Quickly, Diego jumped into the portal.

The bees landed on Mayumi. They tried to sting and injure her. Some even tried to lift her off the ground.

[Cuccoruler]

Feon still missing an arm lunged at Lilith dodging the attacks the swords but getting knicked at the same time as she was still getting hurt by them. "I've had enough of this." Feon said as electricity came from her body. She looked like a ball of electricity as she jumped into the air at Lilith. Without another word Lilith was shocked in the air immobilizing her for a moment. Feon lunged her daggers into Lilith's stomach. She coughed out blood then fell to the ground. Lilith was dead after being stabbed in multiple places. A few moment's later she seemed to explode. The battle was over and the heroes wishes would be granted now.

The credits then began to role and after the credits the heroes were approached by nick fury who wanted them all to join the avengers.

The End

[SpookySquid]

Bakka, sad that he didn't get to make his epic comeback, left as the credits began, shaking his head in disappointment.

[Genni]

"I'm sorry," Mayumi said to the white/black man with the eyepatch, "But I let a man talk me into wearing a purple leather outfit once before and after an... 'interesting' night I ended up not being able to walk straight for several days. I'm afraid I'll have to decline your offer."
