This is not good, they got a daemonette trying to sway them, and something is going on with Adrianne. He thought, not good at all. Then the daemonette finally stopped talking to him and the hologram dissipated but, not before the daemonette spoke of a gift for them. A gift... that can't be good knowing a demon and when the runes disappeared on the massive door. Cole took aim at the door and waited for whatever would come out. Instead of an enemy, the door was torn and launched at them. Cole side-stepping the debris that came at him just in time. Narrowly getting hit, and returned his gaze to the now open space where the doors were. Five fricking Horrors of Tzeentch, and it looked like these ones could fly. Cole gritted his teeth, of course, it had to be that, and took aim at the foul Chaos spawn.
Firing off a couple of shots at the closest one towards him. The red laser fire hitting the Horror in the head, and it seems to recoil a bit before pressing onwards. Then watching as Stukov run forward with blade and pistol towards one of the Horrors. "Mad man," Cole said under his breath. After that, Adrianne unleashed a wave of psychic at the Horrors and managed to not only slow their advance but pin them in place for the time being. It took Cole no time to take advantage of this. Quickly aiming once again at a Horror, and fired his lasgun rapidly until its barrel turned red hot. Boy, did he wish they had more firepower. Lasguns then to be good when there was a group of them firing at a target. Not a single one and but, still Cole kept firing none the less. Even if his single Lasgun might not be much, it is still doing something, and so he kept firing at the Horrors. God-Emperor willing that they can get through this one.
"Tackled him off the tower, the Obstacle Tower?" "Well, that explains why there was a gathering at the base of the tower." A reminder that Zane should not mess with Octavia. The daughter of Ares can handle herself, and he would ask which brother was it. But, he did not feel like bring that subject back up. That and he had a guess of who could it be, which son of Ares could have lost their temper and warrant Octavia to tackling them off the Obstacle Tower. One name comes to mind, Talon with his famous temper. Zane should not assume but, who else could piss off like that, Octavia. Kinda made him wish he was there when it all went down. Try to stop it but, it is too late now, and the damage is done. Or in Octavia's care, healed.
Then Zane hears enter and watched as he started talking to Octavia. Giving a quick wave, "Hey, Arthur, and yeah, it is good news that they are both fine. Given with... what is happening." Putting his hands behind his head in a relaxed state. "A nice change of pace, really, and I hope that everything goes well for her sake." Zane sounding worried. Yeah, there was still the matter of Erin and this whole mess. For the moment, at least there are some good things.
"Okay, Kalinda, I will let you deal with your sister." Zane knew that Vivian was in good hands and Kalinda was a good healer. Grant most children of Apollo were good healers, and Kalinda was not an exception.
So a vision is what caused her to be here. That must be a pain to deal with, he thought. Going on your day and then suddenly a vision appears, and it is bad enough you pass out. He knows that some of the Apollo kids get visions but, it causing enough pain to knock someone out. That is a thing he does not hear about much. Mush has been a rather intense vision, and Zane wondered if her vision had anything to do with the stolen dove. It might, or it might be something else entirely. Which made him curious about what the vision was if Vivian was willing to share that is. Better not press that now with her still recovering from it, So Zane got up from the bed and went over to Octavia.
Walking over to the child or Ares, and went about inspecting her wounds. Seeing blood and a fluffy ferret on Octavia's lap. Ignoring the ferret and focusing on the wounds. What happened to her, he wondered. Maybe from training, or Zane did see people at the Obstacle Tower. So maybe she got hurt there? Still, it was nothing that a little magic could not solve. "Just give me a moment" and after a short time of focusing. Zane, with a flick of his wrist and used his magic to heal Octavia's wounds. "There, you should be feeling better now," and he had a satisfied grin. Though might I ask how you got hurt?".
Cole silently nods at the Celestian's command and as she ordered the team forward once they regrouped with Stukov and Adrianne. Watching for any sign of the enemy which he expected more of them to show up. Instead of that, Andromedai used a grenade to trigger a trap meant to subdue rather than kill. They want to capture us alive... great, Cole thought. It is one thing to want to kill them but also a need to capture them for no doubt to torture them or, worse, use them as a sacrifice to their dark gods. A fate that Cole intends to avoid if possible and make sure that his teammates do not suffer that fate.
Following Andromedai's lead as they went through the building. Taking position behind her, scanning for targets, and followed in after Andromedai and Stukov into the room. Cole quickly fired his lasrifle at the daemonette when she appeared. Though to his dismay, it was only a hologram as their combined shots went through it. "Blast," he said under his breath, and then the treacherous daemonette began to speak to them. So a deal she wants, and deal that has a catch even if she said another wise. There is always a catch with demons and nothing that ends well. Such is the fate of those that chose to conspire with these damnable creatures of the Warp.
Rather than speak, Cole chose to remain silent, Stukov already saying what was on Cole's mind. No need to say more, and so he stood there vigilant. Watching for when this daemonette plans to do when Andromedai obliviously denies the being's offer. Who knows what else lies in wait for them in this cult's lair.
Zane had half a mind to go to see Erin after he left the Oracle's building. She surely needed support from others about this. Being accused by a god and have to clear her name in a week's time must be hard for her. And based on what the other campers said like even the quiet Dorian spoke up. It was certainly unexpected that Dorian spoke about threatening the war god if he lays his hand on Erin. That was very brave of Dorian to say. Potentially pissing off a god is one thing, but still. Brave to say regardless, and the chances are that plenty of people are willing to support Erin through this.
Which after seeing a group of people form around Erin. No doubt asking what the prophecy is and voicing their support for her. Zane saw the group and feel that while he could add his voice to theirs. Perhaps he should not go to her right now. Not to overwhelm her and leave her time to think about things, still, if Erin asks, Zane will willing go help with what he has. Demigods need to stick together, right, and they all know she is innocent in this. Though he would like to know what Ares accused Erin but, Zane doubts he will ever get an answer to that.
With the meeting over and the Obstacle Tower race done with. Zane opted to walk around for a bit. Give his legs something to do before he decided on where exactly he wanted to go. Walking around and noting with the sun high and bright in the sky and a nice breeze too. It was at least a nice day compared to what is happening in the camp. As he walked, Zane thought about going back to the training grounds and practiced some more but, he already did his morning training and felt a bit tired from it. That and he doubts his sparring partner free since she is most likely doing things. So relaxing and walking around the camp he goes.
While he was walking past the Apollo Cabin when he saw a woman being carried away by campers. "Shoot," Zane said under his breath. Someone hurt, another thing to add to the list of bad things that happened today. Though watching her get carried out of the Apollo Cabin made him wonder what happened to her. What could happen in the cabin of healers that would require someone to be sent to the infirmary? That and he as a healer after all. It would be a change of pace from healing himself than others lately. So he opted to head to the infirmary and check on on the woman.
Entering the infirmary, and quickly finding Vivian, and walked over to her. Seeing how she did not look great but was at least sitting upright. Speaking in a soft tone, "Hey, I saw you get brought in, and I wanted to know if you were okay." Zane then taking a seat on a bed across from her. "I may not be a child of Apollo, but I can heal whatever caused you to be brought here."
Location: Training Grounds - Camp Half-Blood, Stands - Camp Half-Blood
Yes, of course, on the first day of summer, I frickin hurt my wrist. So trying that move against it is a bad idea unless I want to get hurt. Zane thought as he cradled his right wrist while watching some campers practice and was leaning against a nearby tree. Maybe it was the fact the Ares's camper he was practicing with was a little too aggressive this time around. Maybe hoping to avenge herself after the last time they practiced. Not his fault, he managed to disarm her. Hopefully, now she will be fighting normally next time.
His wrist was nothing a little magic could fix it, at least. Zane was not in any rush to heal it, and it did not hurt too much. It is not the first time he hurt himself while training, and it probably will not be the last. It made him glad that he chose to learn healing magic so he could just heal it himself without anyone worrying over him. That is the last thing he wanted from the other healers at camp. He can handle himself fine, and he is more concerned with others getting hurt than himself. Zane is both a fighter and a healer, after all.
With a single flick of his unhurt wrist, his right wrist no longer felt pain. Zane went through some motions with his wrist to make sure his spell worked. He smiled as he was satisfied that the spell worked."Maybe I should commission another set of gear for him from a Hephaestus camper." He said under his breath."maybe some gauntlets." He considered the idea for a while before putting it to the back of his mind. That will be for later, and for now, maybe I should just enjoy the rest of the day. It is the first day of summer. He thought as he stretched in the light of the sun reached him while under the tree. "Time to see what the other campers are going," Saying it to himself as he got off the tree and walked around the camp.
Later Zane would arrive at the tower to see that his fellow campers were gathered around the tower. Apparently, watching those competing to get to the ring first. It made Zane grin, so they are at it again. Well, I might as well see who will win it this time. He thought as he walked to the stands but, as he was halfway there. Dionysus's sudden "enough" and Chiron calling for a camp meeting. That is sudden, what is this about, Zane wondered.
"What? How... how could she have done this? Zane stared with disbelief at Dionysus and Chiron. There is no way it could have been Erin that stole the dove, and why would she even want to steal it. She does not even leave camp, so how could have she have done it? This makes no sense, as Zane crossed his arms, annoyed. Watching as others spoke and said what was on his mind. What evidence do they even have, and she has only a week to clear her name? Zane had a look of disgust on his face. This is just history repeating itself again.
Finally, that thing is dead, Vin thought as he watched what was left of the bio-construct exploded. That thing sure had a drive to kill Paris. It could have easily gone after him. Instead of going after Vin, it just bolted with imbalance towards Paris. Vin did aim and take a few shots at the bio-construct as it went past him. But, it did not faze it, and it did not matter. Despite it all, it failed to kill Paris or anyone else for the matter. The fact that Vin was happy with as whoever shot them down and ambushed them had failed to kill them. A lucky feat, really considering the situation but, enough thinking of that. The matter of getting out of dodge takes priority now that their attackers are all dead.
Running up the friendly troops before breaking in a walk towards the APC. "Nice to see some friendly faces," he said, granted he could not see anyone their literal faces due to their armor covering their face. Maybe these people will have answers somehow they shoot down in the first place. But that is wishful thinking, and for now, he would be content with finding people that did not want to kill them. Seeing the APC where Paris was, Vin made his way towards it and went inside. Sitting down across from Paris and simply sigh of relief. They were almost out of there, they just need the team to get together, and they can reach someplace safe enough to regroup and complete their mission.
Cole moved into cover as soon as he heard the heavy bolter unleash on them. Finding himself on the opposite side of where Andromedai was. Now, this is a proper ambush. Cole thought as he waited a bit before firing back a volley of laser fire. Not scoring a hit, "these cultists are sure dug in their hole up there. I can't get a clear shot." This is not good, he thought as he looked where Andromedai and the rest were. Their cover will not hold up forever against that heavy bolter fire. And the fact they will have to cross open ground just to reach the building and have to climb up to that level just puts the icing on the cake. They need a plan right now, and as he turned to talk to the others. He heard what Adrianne said as watched as both her and Stukov teleported. "Good hunting and good luck, you two," he said under his breath.
As the heavy bolter fire ceased, Cole had a smile on his face. There goes the current problem, he thought as he turned back to Andromedai. He was about to ask her something when Medaira spoke up. That was a good point. What are the chances that this is the only ambush group. First, the suicide bomber and then a heavy bolter team. There just might be more cultists in wait or ready to move on them now that the heavy bolter is silenced. "Andromedai if there are more of these cultists around us and coming for us. I suggest we find somewhere with better cover before more cultists come for us." Cole then looked around the area with his lasgun at the ready. Watching for any more signs of hostile activity. They were caught out twice, and he would not get caught out a third time if he can help it.

Biography:
Life for Zane and his sister Helen growing up seemed normal. Growing up with an active father who worked as a professor at the local University of Maine. Things were fine for them despite the fact either of the kids knew anything about their mother. A matter that their father would be closed-lip about. Always saying that he will tell them about her when they were ready. Not really understanding why his father chose to wait to tell them about his mother. Regardless the Blacklight family was close, and Zane seemed content with things.
It was when Zane reached thirteen that things changed for him and his family. When he was at school and was being bullied while in the restroom, the bullies would corner him in his stall but were unable to open it. Leaving Zane trapped inside and while the bullies kept on waiting for him to come out and kept saying bad stuff about him. Zane just kept thinking to himself that he was not there in a vain attempt to reassure himself that he could get out without getting the bullies ganging upon him. It was here that the bullies suddenly stopped, and one of them said that Zane was not here. Leaving, and it would take some time before Zane ventured out to make sure that they were gone. Which they were, that was oddly good for him, he thought. He would tell his father of this, and Zane could see the gears moving in his father's head. Something was up, and it was only when Helen accidentally used magic while she and Zane were playing. Did his father realized what was happening and knew now was the time to tell them about their mother.
Zane's father did not tell everything at first. In order to not overwhelm his children about the nature and identity of their mother. Something that Zane at first did not fully believe what his father said while Helen only grew more curious about Hecate. Wanting to meet her, and Helen would get her wish when their father brought them to Camp Half-Blood. There the twins would instantly be claimed by their mother, and it was an eye-opening experience for him. Finally getting some time to meet and talk with his mother. The twins were overjoyed and would receive some lessons on how to use their magic so they could control it. Both of them took to magic quickly and would often spar with each other to help the other grow stronger.
At this point, Zane and Helen had opted to stay at the camp during the summer. So they could try to live normal lives the best they could. Which well worked for three years up to when Zane and his family were returning from a vacation from New York City. A group of monsters ambushed them, and despite Zane's best efforts of defending his family. Both Helen and his father were killed before the last of the monsters was killed. Devastated the loss of his family and seeing how he or anyone around him is not truly safe. He broke up with his girlfriend and headed back to Camp HalfBlood. Staying there year-round while training himself and getting better at his powers. Hoping to avoid another instance of losing either family or someone close to them again.

Abilities - In-Depth Look:
۞ Mist Control ۞
۵ Zane, like his mother, he can control the Mist. Able to manipulation it to make illusions to trick monsters. Along with using it to hide things such as times people and other beings from others. Even able to disguise people and items if needed using the mist. Plus, being able to manipulate mortals' memories and to summon Mistforms of various objects Though Zane is hesitant to use some of this power unless necessary.
۞ Mystiokinesis ۞
۵ Being a child of the goddess of magic, Zane has the ability to control and manipulate magic. This gives him the ability to learn all sorts of powers. Though like his mother, his magic is the weakest at day and the strongest at night. And if he uses too much of it, then it can backfire on him and hurt him. Currently, he has learned three diffident abilities to augment his power.
Electrokinesis - Ranging from simple lighting bolts to ranging to summoning lighting storms. Dependent on how much magic he uses.
Vitakinesis - Able to heal wounds and diseases of his own and others based on how much magic he uses.
Telekinesis - The first thing he learned with magic, Zane is able to move objects and even people. Even able to levitate them off the ground for a time. Depending on how magic he uses and the heavy the target, the more magic he uses. So he can not lift up everything.
۞ Necromancy ۞
Due to his mother's status of being the goddess of necromancy, Zane has limited power over the dead. Able to sense the presence of ghosts, sense death, telepathically speak to ghosts and, release ghosts to the afterlife.
۞ Umbrakinesis ۞
۵ The last of the power inherited from his mother. Zane can control darkness mainly by making shields and barriers out of pure darkness. He also knows the art of shadow travel that he can use to travel medium distances. Though it takes stamina from him, the longer he travels, and can hurt him if used too much. Also, not as strong as the children of Hades in this.
