"Poor Arty. I guess you can be allergic to magic. I remember reading a book a while back that was part of the premise for actually. I don't remember the name of the book. And now I don't have google to help me remember." Rose joked. She doubted she would have any magic powers. The stories she knew of Red Riding Hood had never included them. In fact, the stories usually involved her being eaten by a wolf and then being saved. That was a little sad for Rose. She was an independent person and didn't like the idea that she'd have to rely on someone to save her.

She did have a memory of when she was little being protected by a wolf, which seemed odd with the new information. Rose looked at the tattoo on her arm that she had gotten two summers ago. That had a very different meaning now. Maybe it would be strength against adversity or something. She lifted her head as they heard the thunderous marching coming up behind them.

Rose moved far enough into the woods that she should not be spotted from the road, but close enough that if she had to she could shoot an arrow into the army. She knelt down and pulled an arrow out, notching it on the string, but not drawing.




Colby Jackson


Location: Camelot
Skills: Stealth





"I meant you don't have to be afraid to ask me for help." Colby explained to Matthew. He looked down the road as Merlin explained. Then ducked back into the woods when they heard the approaching army. They hadn't been on the road that long, not to mention in the world, so whoever was approaching probably had no idea they were there, which meant they were going somewhere for another reason.

Colby found a good spot in a bush that had enough foliage to hide in while giving him a decent view of the road. He wanted to get a good look at what sort of armies this world had. Colby probably had a better grasp of military tactics just by being a bit of a trivia fan, than any army. He might be able to figure out a way to beat them if he saw how they marched and what sort of armor and other gear they had. At least he hoped he would be able to. He had never put it into practice.

He wondered if he had any powers while it was being discussed. At least he wasn't alone in wondering that. Considering his ancestor was a cat known for turning invisible Colby wondered if he would be able to turn invisible too. That would be cool. It would be cooler if he could also shapeshift into a cat.

Skills:





Andy had walked away from the green-haired girl shaking her head. She was weird, even if she was an alien. What alien didn't do at least a little research on the world they were going to? It was like the aliens from that movie signs who were allergic to water and came to earth for some reason Andy could never fathom. She didn't respond to the girl. Having made her way up the stairs she was surprised to see so many people.

"Veil did." She considered a response to the barbie comment and decided to go with a shrug. Andy also considered informing the people in the area about the guy who died, but she figured she couldn't give it the meaning it had for them. They had all seemed upset in the van and it seemed like he had been an important part of their group. Andy did not want to be the messenger for that bad news. "I feel like this is a bad time though." She sipped at the monster that Echo had bought.

She shifted, the movement reminiscent of a fighter getting ready to go for a feint. Andy wanted to be alone. She was done with being around this chaos group. Andy moved away and picked a door at random. The only thing she knew for certain to avoid was the room Havok had just gone into. The door she picked was for room six. Andy unknowingly had, to avoid people, picked the room for the dead guy.

"You're telling me stabbing someone doesn't relieve you of stress, weird." Dalisy said with a huge grin on her face. She was being mostly sarcastic. "Yeah, you didn't explain why you want to talk to the Thanes. What was that about?" Dalisy asked Elizabeth. Then the deaths started showing. Dalisy gave it some attention. She liked to know what to expect out of the new people.

For the most part, they were all standard. Fought someone or something, probably saved someone from certain death, and of course, all had a weapon in hand. Dalisy remembered there had even been a person who had had a fire extinguisher and that counted. The Thanes were pretty generous but it was required.

Sadly she had no new half-siblings. Dalisy was fond of family, even with the weirdness of being half Asgardian. It was part of why she was still attached to Niah. Though she always felt closer to Niah, even after years of being dead, Niah and she had grown up together. They were more family than the half-blood relations that came through here. And Niah would never enter these halls. Then what seemed like the final video started playing. It was for the girl Klara had carried into the Hall.

Skills: Thamaturgy: Shield, Force



What the actual hell was going on? Ed had a strong suspicion suddenly that the groups had been picked specifically to be as dividing as possible. They were at each other's throats. It was chaos. It definitely did not help that there were hundreds of spiders filling the room now. Even Ed who didn't mind spiders was a little wigged out. His leg hurt and he didn't trust himself to put weight on it.

They needed the dice back. Ed sighed and pulled the small shield from his pocket. Spiders were swarming around the dice that Bethany had thankfully pointed out, but no one could get to them because of the spiders. It would take a little adjusting on the shield. He often made it so that things could leave the shield but things couldn't enter it. He needed the shield to work both ways. Not letting things leave it and not letting things enter it.

With that decided he cast the spell and then pulled a mental string on the shield toward himself. That was the hard part. It took a little bit of work and then the dice were within reach. Unfortunately, some of the spiders had hitched a ride too, they seemed completely unfazed by having been dragged through fire. He raised his staff and directed a couple of quick blasts at the spiders blasting them off of the shield, which he dropped and grabbed the dice.

"Iris it seems the fire isn't bothering the spiders. It might be more prudent to not have the fire. Also here's the dice." He held up his hand with the dice sitting on the palm. "I can try to heal Lance again, but I don't know if it will work. I also need to heal my leg. I'm lucky the hyena didn't break it."

Y92-6 pinned under Vinnie still had given up the code to Zarina. A part of Tessa wondered if they had given it up too easily. But Y92-6 was now speaking again. Responding directly to Vinnie. "Please. I understand you're afraid of me and Them. I have no choice though." Y92-6 took a deep breath and then said, "They made me. I have no free will."

Tessa frowned looking at Y92-6 face. Tears had formed, small, in the corner, in their eyes. They didn't even seem to be struggling against Vinnie's pin anymore.

"I can't help you. I wish I could. I see my past in your future and I'm powerless to do anything." Y92-6 continued. "The only good I can do for you is if you throw me over the edge of the catwalk. The fall will kill me. They won't know you did it." They then turned to Zarina and said, "There is a function to change the language to English. What you see is my native tongue."

Tessa's jaw had dropped. Y92-6 was literally asking the group to kill them. Could they do that? Was it murder or assisted suicide?

Noah knelt beside Y92-6, "Is that what you actually want?" Tessa felt like more was being said in Noah's question. Like he knew something the rest of them didn't.





Location: Galley -> Atrium -> Water Processing Room
Skill:




Luke followed after Cal into the Atrium. Upon entering the Atrium they found it empty of anyone. All were either behind them or apparently missing. The water was no longer pouring from the pipe though, and it seemed that turned off some automatic system as the pond was not actively draining.

"Where are they?" Luke asked Manny, who pointed to the pipe. Luke ran over to it and looked inside. "I don't see them."

"They went beyond it. Climbed in and up some ladder I guess. Raynor tried to contact them via the radio but someone else responded. Sophia said there was someone there, but she didn't exactly explain. She couldn't see cause it was above wherever the ladder starts."

Luke nodded and climbed into the pipe. It was a tight fit for him, but his swimmer's build made it a bit easier than for the others. At the ladder, he noticed that the rungs were farther apart then he was used to. He exited the ladder and was on the catwalk in time to hear Noah's question.

Location: Argo III - Wheelhouse
Skill:





Alannah called for Andy to come help, but Andy didn't want to. She was nervous about what had hurt the creature following it to them. "What if it is a trap?" She asked Alannah. "What if what hurt it is nearby and everyone is so focused on fixing the Gryphon that they don't see them coming?" Andy had been lured into her fair share of traps when she was wandering alone. After she had gotten the dagger she had gotten better at fighting her way out of situations, but she knew it was better to not get into a trap then have to fight her way out.

Andy sighed, she'd help but only cause Arthur was there too. She took a last glance at the screens, left the wheelhouse, and took a look at the skies just to be certain there wasn't anything coming at them. "Will you watch then?" She asked Alannah and then set to work helping Rebecca and Arthur. She had no idea how to help them out so she just let Rebecca direct her. Andy also didn't think she was the best at not looking threatening, but her dagger was away on her bracelet so at least she didn't have a weapon out.








Location: Camp Jupiter: New Rome, Senate Building -> Cohort 2
Skills:



"Yeah that seems safe." Niah said sarcastically. "I'd rather use a raft again. Why didn't we tie ourselves to the raft? We are lucky no one fell out and we didn't get attacked on the way to Mount Rushmore." Niah shook her head laughing a bit. "Also we will have three more people I don't know if there are enough places to grab onto me for all five you." Niah said shaking her head. "Enjoy de-robeing. Meet you between the barracks."

Niah waved at the cohort five group of three making their way back from the Augury. "We're gonna meet out here when you're done packing." She told them. Emily gave a wave with her free hand to indicate she heard. Niah went into her cohort barracks. She thought of the time she had packed up to go to Mount Rushmore. The three of them had faced a lot of danger on that trip, but they had been successful. Now the crystal was at the center of this again. Had she been set up from even back then to be involved in this larger prophecy?

Her stomach twisted and she set to packing. It didn't take too long, her armor was kept in good condition so she just had to put it on. That was what took her the most time. The rest was making sure they had some extra cash and nectar. Last quest they had resorted to a bit of stealing to get what they needed. Oh and a map or at least some sort of travel plan. They had winged it last time. It had worked out with the armor, but Niah didn't know if it could handle six people so she figured a plan a and b would be good to have first. She'd mention that once they all got together.








Location: Camp Jupiter: New Rome, Augury -> Cohort 5
Skills:



Emily gave a small wave goodbye to Alexandra as she shut the door to the Augury. She didn't blame her for wanting to be alone. It could not be easy being the camp prophet. Em was thankful that wasn't her burden. She squeezed Marco's hand gently as they started walking back to the cohort. Hopefully, the Preators and Niah had been able to get permission for their little gang. Just as the group got to the barracks Niah waved at them and let them know they'd be meeting in the barracks square once they finished packing. She gave a wave and entered the cohort five barracks.

Emily let go of Marco's hand to pack. She checked that she had a few different plant seeds. She could use plants around her, but they weren't always vined plants which made it hard for her. Bacchus was a god of the vine, not dandelions. Though she supposed since you could make dandelion wine she probably could control them. Other than that was just packing a backpack real quick with a change of clothing, some toiletries, and a week's supply of HRT. She hoped that would be enough to get them through this mission. She hoped they would swing back by the camp before heading out again if she was going on a second quest.






Location: The Roof - Quinjet -> The hall outside Agent 13's apartment
Skills: Pistols





Niah followed after Bonnie and Cass, her ICER drawn. Whatever was going on was a nasty wrench in their mission, not to mention her attempts to plan to convince the whole group to defect. She watched as Bonnie was touched in the forehead by one of the women in the group outside Agent 13's apartment. She had the look of fear Niah had once seen in people trapped in Wonderland's nightmare visions back during their training in the Framework. Niah's heart tightened and Cass was touched next. The same thing happened. But Cass tackled the woman and pinned her down to the ground.

Cass was one of the few people Niah didn't worry about accidentally hitting if she aimed near her. She took aim at the woman on the ground, the woman dodged the first shot, her second only grazed the woman and the third hit her squarely. The ICER dart did its work from there. Niah sighed a little relieved that the woman who was messing with her friend's minds was out of commission but she didn't know if that would fix what happened to them.

"Cass, Bonnie, get behind me." She told them and tried to maneuver herself between them and the rest of the group of...she didn't even know what they were. A part of her wondered if they were Skrulls like Ryanor and Roman had been. Did they get the powers of whoever they copied?








Location: Agent 13's apartment
Skills:





Matt had expected that Flynn would flip out at Kwassi, but he hadn't expected to get shot at as well. He was able to dodge the bullets enough, but his gun was hit and broken. Ass. Matt's recent power acquisition had made him phenomenal at using weapons, especially hand-guns which he had already been highly trained in. Without it that left him one recourse, knocking Flynn out. Kwassi shot him with one of his darts. Matt assumed was his paralytic. He wondered how well it would work on Flynn and considered trying to paralyze him with his own power. Kwassi's thing might be a different type of ICER basically.

Matt was about to turn to whammy Flynn when the door flew open and some dude was there asking for a cup of sugar. Behind the man was Cass on the ground tackling some woman that Niah was shooting at. Cass's face looked wrong. Like she didn't know what was happening. Clearly one of these people had the ability to do some major psychic damage. Matt moved and tried to hit the guy asking for sugar with his paralytic touch. But the guy manipulated a literal tornado into existence at him. Matt dodged it, "What the hell? Flynn, did you call these people with that stupid button? You were planning this?"

It was one thing in Matt's mind to defect, something it was clear Flynn was about to do since they had been at the base. It was another to sabotage the mission. Matt was pissed and worried. His girlfriend was in danger and it was Flynn's fault. Matt knew Cass would be in danger every day that was part of the job. But someone she trusted and called a friend was at fault for it. How dare he?


Ed Penior




Location: Xavier's Mansion - The Danger Room
Skills: Staff; Thamaturgy: Force



Ed was going to give his two cents but a hyena tackled him to the ground and chomped on his leg. He could hear that Mary sounded different and was yelling, but he was much more focused on the pain in his leg. He had screamed, he could tell since his throat hurt. Thankfully he still had his staff in his hand. He swung it down on the hyena's head as hard as he could. There was the sound of bone breaking and blissfully the hyena's bite on his leg loosened. Hyena's bite force was powerful. With the loosened bite there was hope that he could blast the hyena off of him.

Ed pointed the end of his staff at the hyena's head and sent a blast of force at it. The hyena was knocked off his leg. He cussed. He was in a lot of pain and he doubted he would be able to pull off his healing spell in this much pain. The part of Ed that wanted to be with his sister again begged him to just lay back and let the blood pour from his leg. He fought against it and sat up. He prepared this time. If any of the hyenas leaped toward him he was ready to hit them with a blast of force. Ed knew his skill level, he wouldn't be able to heal his leg and prepare for another attack.

"Thank you, Merlin." Rose said when her bag transformed. She wondered if it was a permeate change or if it would wear off. She nodded to his edict to not let anyone see the contents. She made sure the electronics like her phone were tucked deeper and under the jacket. It might not period-appropriate but at least it was leather.

She followed Merlin onto the main road. Rose snickered to herself and leaned over to whisper at Cass, "I wonder if this is the path my mom famously wondered off of." She wondered how much of her mom's story was true, how much had been changed around for modern audiences. Rose looked at the back of Merlin's head wondering how much he was winging it. One thing she had learned as she had gotten older was how little adults had it actually figured out. There was so much going through her head, but she was happy and excited. She wanted to share the truth with the Buckners but she didn't know when she would get the chance to do that. If ever.

Colby gently tightened the bracers for Matthew. "You don't have to be afraid of me you know." He said quietly to Matthew not wanting the others in the group to hear him. When he finished fixing the bracers up for Matthew he pet Carroll under the chin. Both cats were perched on their respective owner's shoulders. Colby then smiled at Matthew and turned to Merlin. He had answered the groups questions and was no leading them onto the main road.

It felt better being on the main road than in the middle of the woods. Colby adjusted the sword he had picked up on his hip. He looked back at the road behind them. Colby wondered where the road was coming from. He felt like Merlin had a lot of plans but wasn't really telling the group what any of those plans were. That worried him. He wasn't naturally a trusting person and Merlin was being vague. Colby hated that.

The being hit their head with a sickening thunk and for a moment Tessa worried that Vinnie had killed them. But then they blinked. "Look I don't mean you any harm. I'm just a technician. Please." Tessa winced. They needed answers, but maybe almost killing technicians wasn't a good way to do it. "You can search me. I swear I don't have any weapons."

"What about that weird device you've got?" Tessa asked them. She didn't bother trying to search the technician, Vinnie had them securely pinned.

"That's just a computer. It stores information about the systems in here. It gave me an alert that a water valve had been shut off. I was coming to check pressures anyway and then you lot were attacking me." Tessa bit her lip at that answer and looked at Vinnie.

"Maybe we take them with us back into the pipe to the rest of the group." She was convinced that what had transpired was a misunderstanding. She didn't trust the capitol Them, but this person was just a technician, a grunt. They probably didn't have a say in the kidnapping of the group even. Tessa realized she didn't know the being's name and felt weird about calling them the being and so on in her head so she asked, "What's your name?"

"My designation is Y92-6." They said the dash. Tessa frowned, was Y92-6 a robot like the one girl in their group had been?

"Hey, either of you got your steak knife still? See if they bleed green like the robot did?" Y92-6's eyes widened in fear.

"Wait please don't hurt me. I swear I'm just a technician." They begged.





Location: Galley
Skill:




With Cal's help, the group was able to get the camera taped to the grabbed Roomba. They soon had a makeshift set up and set the robot down. It returned to its hidey-hole and the group could watch on the monitor at the end of the line. It was dark in the tunnel, but thankfully the camera was equipped to handle that. At first, it was just a straight line, then it t-sectioned.

"Turn left." Luke said forgetting that they didn't actually have control over how the Roomba moved. It turned right instead. Luke frowned but soon the view showed the Roomba joining several other Roomba in what could be best described as a charging room. There was a door though. Large and round. They had a route to an exit. There were now two doors the group could try, but getting to either would be a tight squeeze.

Manny entered the room at that moment. "Zarina found someone. There apparently is a scuffle going on. What are you lot up to?"




Atrium


Manny nodded and moved away from the opening. As he made his way to the Galley he noticed Noah. "Hey, can you fit inside the pipe? You're small." Noah looked up at Manny. Several emotions crossed his face before he finally shrugged and stood up. Manny kept going and went into the Galley.

"Excuse me Raynor, Sophia. Let me see if I fit." Noah said.
