You awake for the first time. You try to recall what has brought you here, but nothing comes to mind. You see others around you, also waking up for the first time. Confused, you sit up as a voice echoes all around you.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Boys and Girls,

Welcome to the Amnesia Games!

You have been allowed to remember three things

Your name

Your goal in life

And your skills in combat

And some of you don't even have one of those!

I have brought you here

From all over the omniverse

You each have an interesting story

But none of you know it

Because I have taken your memories

And the only way to get them back

Is to play my little game

So have fun

I'll be in touch

 

And the voice goes silent.

 

Mission 1: Interact with each other! Find out everybody else's name. One memory will go to each group at the end of the mission.

 

Renton 'Ren' Kisaragi, Neena Mors, Switch, and Noah Himitsu awake in a dense forest.

 

Walter Evergreen, Joshua Akira, Dom Locke, and Bronshu Wes awake near a bubbling spring in a flower meadow.

 

Morgan Etiam Vinctum, Mes Orem, Wolf, and Rexon Wrexx awake in a desert, sand blowing and sun shining.

 

Sylar awakes at a snow-covered mountaintop, all alone.

The Apparition shook violently, and flew high into the air after taking damage from Abisk and Robert. It shot down several fireballs which once they impacted the roof exploded, destroying the roof. They all fell into the building, and the Ghost floated in. Neena got to her feet, pushing some slight rubble off of her. She glared at the ghost. She was sick of this thing now. And she wanted her powers back. How else would she kill keybladers? At her feet was a broken steel pipe. She picked it up and tossed it between her hands. This would work fine. She narrowed her eyes towards the Ghost. "Playtime's over." She said, loud and clear. The Ghost, clearly not liking her tone, shot a fireball towards her. Or where she had been a moment before. She was already dashing at the Ghost, holding her pipe. The Ghost backed up towards a wall, and shot out a wall of flame. Neena ran, then suddenly leaped to the side, then jumping high off the wall, and flipped over the flames. The Ghost was right in front of her now. Taking the opportunity, Neena lashed out with her pipe, breaking the glass on the lantern the Ghost was holding and stabbing her pipe straight into the flame inside. Neena let go of the pipe, and fell to the ground, landing perfectly on one knee. The Assassin looked above her, where the Ghost was breaking into a million pieces, each one floating away, piece by piece. The flames all around them disappeared, and the lantern the Ghost had been holding fell to the ground. The flame inside exploded, and a few pieces of light flew from it, hitting all of the contestants in the area, giving them back the powers and weapons they had lost.~~~~~Sylar looked at the lightning bolts coming towards him and acted quickly blocking them with a barricade of darkness. Soon after though, Bronshu came rushing at him Excalibur outstretched. Using two blades of darkness, he countered the strikes, but the lightning coming from the legendary blade formed cracks in his own. Spotting his chance, Ryonne rushed forward, slicing twice with his blade. Sylar parried away the first strike, and held the second strike with his own blades. That was when Ryonne brought his scabbard around hitting Sylar's swords of darkness. They shattered, but the force of that also blew Ryonne and Bronshu back. Nikolai though, seized the opportunity, rushing forward and swinging down with his saber. Sylar, still shocked from the effect of his swords exploding, only barely dodged using his super speed to dodge backwards. Nikolai had predicted that though, and cast a lightning mine in the exact spot. Sylar fell to his knees, being electrocuted. After the effect wore off, he glanced up to his foes. His eyes were darker than ever, and his disheveled hair gave him a very very ominous aura. Sylar glanced to Blank."They've won this round. We're out." He said, and they vanished into the shadows. The door the villains had been blockading opened. Inside was a wide variety of monitors, a microphone, and several buttons, including one that was labeled "Emergency Evac". On one of the monitors, they could see Brooklyn and two new people in a room.~~~~~~Kinzoku backed away slowly from Brooklyn. She could sense something coming from him, an overwhelming feeling of darkness and malice. "Hey, are you, uh, okay?" She asked hesitantly. She looked to the other guy, (Reiner), and gave him a pleading look. "Is he okay? I really don't want to fight him." She asked, assuming that they were comrades. After all, they both looked good, even though Orange Spike seemed bent on killing her.~~~~~~The Doctor and Rexon continued to run, the Doctor continuing to cut down any brush that stood in their path. The Jungle seemed to be teeming with plant life, along with insects, but other kinds of life seemed scarce. Aside from the cat people though. They seemed almost too abundant. The Doctor could not help but wonder if some part of the ecosystem here had been messed up. But still, he should keep his focus on trying to outrun the deadly flames and poison heading towards them. The Doctor, with his mind elsewhere, slashed through a branch and walked into a clearing. Almost instantaneously, dozens of cat people popped out of the jungle surrounding the clearing, armed and seemingly very deadly. Warthrop grimaced. "My new friend, we may have a slight problem."~~~~~~~The Lion watched Derik approach, measuring things carefully, finally, he made his move. Understanding the potential for a parry, the Lion slashed low at Derik's legs with his sword of bone.  He simultaneously threw a punch at Derik's face.~~~~~~~Auron walked down the path, making it to some kind of village, though the construction seemed quite... primitive. In the center of this odd town, was a large pole, with plenty of dry firewood at the base. And tied to it was... Mes. "Get me down from here! Come on!" She yelled at Auron. "Oh right. He can't hear me." She said, more softly. So instead she gave pleading looks considering she couldn't really move her arms or legs, or anything really.

A perfect failure on the Lion man's part. Not much else could have made the situation worse for him at that point. The burning logs were still very much in effect, and there was no way Derik wouldn't use that to his advantage. As the low sweet came at him, Derik drove the blade of his energy sword into the ground, feeling the force if the Lion's fist graze the back of his head, edge pointed right at the edging it the opposing blade. On contact, such a blade would cut through his opponents sword, and it did. Meanwhile, Derik switched his momentum, flipping himself into a pivot mid-air, throwing him to the sky towards a burning log chunk. He kicked it mid-pivot, and sent it straight into the head of the lion, and brought his feet down with it, landing into the other chunk, he used this to springboard off of the land and into the air, not much higher than a inch above the Lions head, and slammed the butt of his sabre into the thing's skull. "Give up!" He yelled, landing behind it as he lined up a stab to its stomach/mid back.

After being blown back, Bronshu quickly got on his feet, getting ready to charge back in.  But he sees Sylar leaving in the shadows.  Bronshu shouts:  "Darn it!.  He got away.", disappointed in himself.  When the doors opened, he walked inside.  Looking around, he sees a bunch of monitors.  Tilting his head, Bronshu says:  "So this is where he was spying on us."  "Reminds me a bit of the monitoring area back in my old workshop."  Diasor remarks.  While looking around, Bronshu spots a button that says "Emergency Evac."  Staring at it, he says:  "I guess we can all get out of here with this."  He looks right, seeing Brooklyn and two others on a monitor.  "Hey.  I see Brooklyn on here.  And there two more people are with him.  But I don't recognize them."

 

 

Observing the cat people surrounding the clearing, Rexon responds:  "That's a bit of an understatement."  Taking another glance around, he says:  "From what I can tell, it's obvious we're surrounded and these guys don't appear on letting us go.  So, is the only option we have is to fight our way out?"

Robert breathed in a sigh of relief as his powers returned to him. Sure, him and the others weren't out of the woods yet, but at least now, he felt somewhat in control. For a moment, he even forgot the pain he'd taken from the fall he'd just taken. After testing out his powers a couple of times to make sure they worked, he glanced at Neena and gave a friendly smile, "Hey, nice job finishing that thing off. I can't believe I didn't think about attacking it's lamp." Robert paused, noticing how few of them were left, "Hey, what do you supposed happened to the others?" he asked grimly.

 

For the first time in his lifespan, Blank nearly laughed when Dom tried to pull out his gun's magazine. Sure, it looked like a regular Tommy gun, but it was anything but. Instead of using regular bullets, his weapon used energy rounds, and reloads over time. Thus, there's no reason to switch out the magazine, so it's welded into the gun. Deciding that he liked irritating Dom, Blank decided to mess with her some more. After avoiding Dom's fire blast, he used his superhuman agility to uppercut the blunt side of her blade with his free hand, sending the blade off it's course and knocking Dom off balance. Blank then followed up with a hard kick to her shin, before backing away before she could regain focus. He would have preferred to watch her reaction, but sadly, Sylar had decided the battle had come to an end, so Blank followed him into the shadows.

 

"Well then, that was... intriguing." Blank said, still trying to figure these emotion things out, "So Sylar, what do you suggest we do next?"

Neena spun her sword between her fingers, then lit it with darkness. Good. Everything was back to full capacity. She then put it back into the sheath. Neena glanced to Robert. "They could be dead. Or incapacitated to some degree. In any case, there is nothing we can do for them right now. They are not with us, so they are either at the lift Rija pointed out, or the Watcher took them away." Neena said coldly, not seeming very interested in the fates of her other companions. "Speaking of that lift, we should probably head there." Neena continued briefly, then started walking in that direction without waiting. As soon as they set foot outside the building they had fallen into, it became apparent that something was different. The ruined city was now practically empty. No more wild zombies. The most likely reason was that since they had defeated the Watcher's trial, he erased everything. That was fine with Neena.

 

Neena, Robert, and Abisk reached the lift Rija had pointed out earlier, where they found the Soldier standing, leaning against the cable car. "What took you guys so long?" She asked, a smile gracing her lips. Neena entered the cable car.

"Off beating whatever took our powers." The Assassin replied calmly. She seated herself in the lift and glared at the others to join her. They needed to get going if they were ever going to get out of here.

~~~~~

Ryonne looked through the monitors, and answered Bronshu. "I would presume that those two are new contestants. But... something's off with Brooklyn. I sense, darkness. Yes, he seems to be falling into darkness to some degree." Ryonne spoke, examining the details of the scene in the monitor. "Is there a microphone somewhere we could use to talk to them?" Ryonne asked, turning back around to look about the room. Nikolai also glanced around, his eyes quickly landing on a microphone. He smiled and grabbed hold of it. 

"Hello hello, this is your pilot, Nikolai speaking. Buckle your seatbelts because I have no idea how to fly this thing." Nikolai joked through the microphone. The Swordsman snatched the microphone from Nikolai, shooting him an irritated glare. Nikolai only shrugged and grinned.

"This is Ryonne. Sylar and Blank are gone. Sylar claims Joshua wasn't here. There's an evacuation button that will get us out of here. I am going to push it now. And Brooklyn? Calm down. You don't want to fall too far." Ryonne said, hoping to defuse the situation. Then he calmly set the microphone down, and hit the red button.

 

Everyone in the mansion appeared outside of it, behind the mansion and outside the large fence. Ryonne glanced around, checking to see who was with them at the moment. Himself, Nikolai, Bronshu, Dom, Brooklyn, and the two newcomers. He hoped everyone else was well, wherever they might be.

~~~~~~

The lion had dodged the first burning log pretty easily. But the stupid human would not let up. The hilt of the sword hit him in the skull and it hurt pretty bad. The Lion rolled forward, knowing his opponent was behind him. He leaped to his feet, and faced the enemy. His sword was useless now. He threw it at Derik, but he knew it wouldn't do much good. It just needed to occupy him for a few split seconds while he.... The Lion was gone. Vanished from sight. As soon as the Lion had disappeared, a purple mist began to creep in. Derik could already feel his movements becoming more and more limited. The poison the Watcher had promised was coming, and no matter the training, none could resist it's effects due to the otherworldly nature of it.

~~~~~~

The Doctor appraised the cat men. He nodded. "Indeed. It would seem that would be the case." The Doctor replied curtly. Warthrop took a few steps forward, spear held loosely in his hand. A hunter's grip. He stood calmly until one of his opponents could wait no more and rushed toward him. The Doctor sidestepped, and lashed out with his spear, knocking the enemy's blade out of his hand. The cat did not seem to hesitate,slashing out with his claws as soon as his weapon was gone. Warthrop stepped backwards, and spun his spear, knocking away the attacks, before lunging with the butt of the spear. He hit the cat's gut, sending it sprawling. The Doctor did not wait to thump the blunt end of his spear into his enemy's head, knocking it out. The Doctor glanced around again, his eyes having taken on a daring tone. A purple mist began to leak into the clearing. The Doctor and Rexon could feel themselves becoming weaker, muscles locking up, harder to move. Something would need to change and quick, or the poison would kill them all. The cat men did not seem to be affected.

~~~~~~

Sylar and Blank reappeared from the shadows in the cabin. Sylar looked to Blank. "Wait I suppose. Might as well. After all, it's nearly the end of the day anyway." Sylar said curtly, in an uncaring tone. He yawned and wandered towards the kitchen area. Torturing people was tiring. And he hadn't eaten since those souls earlier. Sylar cracked a smile at his own inner joke. On the monitor were several video feeds of what the contestants in the arena were going through. Inside the cabin were also Anthony Timon and Gilgamesh.

Severa grabbed a bamboo bo staff. It would do someone good, she was certain. Not everyone was armed after all. The shop owner looked at Terry. He seemed a little wary of his customers, but didn't do anything. He wasn't going to turn down potential customers. "Well, this scroll is for earth magic that was used by Rexon. And this one is darkness magic that says was used by Brooklyn. Oh, and I have something else you might be interested in!" The shop owner said, reaching into a display case. He plopped the object onto the counter. "A deck of magic cards fresh from the Reaper's Game. Used by Auron." He said happily.

Inside the bar were a few drunk patrons, and a monitor showing the most recent events in the arena. Marcus pursed his lips as he saw the purple mist come into the jungle. That wouldn't do anyone good. But he needed to focus on his mission so that they would help the guys out in there. He sat at the bar, and gestured for Evan to join him.

Cordelia stood on the other end of Master Ranco's portal. In front of them was a huge palace, decorated with gold and marble. Angelic would be the only real way to describe it. Cordelia nodded very businesslike, and pointed towards the huge wooden doors straight out of a fairy tale. "We have no reason to not start at the front door." Cordelia said briefly, and began to walk towards the entrance of the Administrative Building.

(Hello people. I´ll post tomorrow. I´m finishing some things here about Master. Then I can RP in peace. Sorry for the dissapearance Yuffie, I´ll rescue MEs tomorrow.)

(Time for the high-speed action reelay running scene.)

With the Lion out of there, Derik definitely had to be moving as well. even with slowed movement, his jacket and heavy electrical sword being off of his person gave him a great amount of speed back. The blade flung at him he caught by it's broken edge, a small cut, nothing too bad... With it in hand, Derik stowed his beam saber, looking ahead, he grinned. "I won't stop until I have met with her again. anyhow, it's time to move" He thought, deciding a areal route to be faster, he leaped to the trees that weren't burning, and dashed between them, keeping his foot as lightly pressed on the branches as possible, he moved forward and back to the group with great speed. "I will have to face that thing again, though. But that time, I will be ready. Tonight at camp: I will refine this metal and used it to make a blade worthy of even the Watcher itself!" He thought. Even with the impairment of the poison, he moved quickly. It was a benefit of wearing a super-heavy jacket like he did, the more weight he had the stronger his legs grew and the faster he became  as a result. 

 

The fire, however, was not letting up either. More and more trees began to burst aflame as Derik ran, dashing between each tree, some of them exploding into flames in front of him, but with each one that came he did a flip, or jumper farther onto another tree, beginning to get a head of the gas itself at a decent pace.

 

Brooklyn heard Ryonne through the speaker. "What do you.. mean...?" he wondered, before being transported outside. "Ugh..." his arms were drenched in Darkness, it licked at his body like fire. "What the hell?" He thought, looking at the darkness, a small flame and light amount of ice formed around the darkness, seeming to encase it, smother it, and dwindle it back to nothing more than a smolder. With that his Keyblade came to him, since they were no longer in the mansion. "My... I..." He fell to the floor, his knees hitting the material, whatever it was. he took in deep breaths, in and out, gasping for air. Once he regained some composure. "I... I apologize... Ryonne. I don't know what overcame me there..." He tried to pinch a small particle of the darkness that was ebbing away from his hands, but it only turned to smoke and faded away. "It started up after I got a memory back... Something about it caused a reaction in me.."

 

With his weapons firmly back to him, and his armor now actually feeling like armor, Abisk felt a little more relieved. He took a step into the cart. "I couldn't see the health bars on it, but it must have not had many. Must be some sort of odd coinsurance, this book in my inventory  told me most enemies would have health bars and such. Oh, well.". Despite the fact his powers were removed, and his weapons forged, a version of the user manual always came paired with a game, with tutorials and information you could always look back on. As well as overlays and such, for the most part.

Blinking twice, Bronshu looks at the back of the mansion.  "Cool, we made it out!  And quick too.  I sure won't be missing the place." he shouts out.

 

Two cat men came charging towards Rexon, ready for a thrashing.  Calling out his keyblade, he says:  "Fighting it is then." With the enemies coming at him, he dashes in between them to avoid a hit.  A quick jump to the left, Rex bashes the head of one cat man, knocking him out.  He slashes across at the other, but that cat jumped backed.  He tries to make three mores strikes, up, left, and right, but all of them missed.  Trying to think of something quick, Rex points his left hand and shouts:  "What the heck is that?!"  Please buy that. he thinks.  The cat man turns around to see what was behind him.  Rex then sweeps the cat man off his feet and slams down hard on his abdomen.  Chuckling, he says:  "Wow, he bought it."  But Rex then notices the purple mist showing up.  He starts feeling worn out very fast.  Confused, he shouts:  "W-what is this stuff?!  I can barely move anything!"

 

~Elsewhere~

Having gone through the other side, Ranco glances at the palace.  All he could think was:  Remarkable. from the sight of it.  Now facing his attention to the Administrative Building, he responds to Cordelia:  "I suppose, but I can't help but say 'we must remain cautious' regardless." and heads toward the entrance.

{Dom}

Dom grimaced at the pain in her from Blank's attack, but that was alright. He had been driven back, and with his weapon bleeding energy from her attempt to remove the mag. He'd probably fix it, but it removed it from that fight and painted him in more energy for her to track him with.

Once everyone appeared outside, she limped over to Ryonne and Brooklyn.

"I doubt any of us were brought here for being nice people." She commented to Brooklyn. "You now know that you have a problem with darkness, which means your are more prepared for the future."

Dom reflected on her own memory and wondered what other kind of secrets her past had.

"Anybody find anything useful inside the mansion?" She asked the group, raising her voice a bit so that everyone could hear her.

 

{Terranort}

Terry looked at the contestant items with a little distain. He had been hoping that there was something that could more directly help her, but he had to work with what he had.

"If that's all you've got, I guess I might as well purchase them." He said in a haughty tone. "Maybe one will proved more entertainment this way. How much?"

Kinzoku backed away slowly from Brooklyn. She could sense something coming from him, an overwhelming feeling of darkness and malice. "Hey, are you, uh, okay?" She asked hesitantly. She looked to the other guy, (Reiner), and gave him a pleading look. "Is he okay? I really don't want to fight him." She asked, assuming that they were comrades. After all, they both looked good, even though Orange Spike seemed bent on killing her.

 

Ryonne looked through the monitors, and answered Bronshu. "I would presume that those two are new contestants. But... something's off with Brooklyn. I sense, darkness.

~~~~~~~

Auron walked down the path, making it to some kind of village, though the construction seemed quite... primitive. In the center of this odd town, was a large pole, with plenty of dry firewood at the base. And tied to it was... Mes. "Get me down from here! Come on!" She yelled at Auron. "Oh right. He can't hear me." She said, more softly. So instead she gave pleading looks considering she couldn't really move her arms or legs, or anything really.

Inside the bar were a few drunk patrons, and a monitor showing the most recent events in the arena. Marcus pursed his lips as he saw the purple mist come into the jungle. That wouldn't do anyone good. But he needed to focus on his mission so that they would help the guys out in there. He sat at the bar, and gestured for Evan to join him.

 

Reiner~

"Phew finally out from there!" Reiner said as he turned to Brooklyn, as he apologized for his way of acting inside the mansion, he just put his hand on his head while saying "Well.. at least you didn´t kill the two of us, don´t worry." He then took a look to the rest of people around there. "Thanks for helping us, hehehe my name is Reiner, it´s  a pleasure everyone."

 

Auron~

"Woah Mes! How did you end up there!?" Auron shouted quite surprised. "Hang in there!" HE said while pulling out his cards, and launching them at Mes sides cutting down the ropes. he then came close to her. "Are you alright? what happe... oh right I can´t hear... Anyway, we need to move now" he finished talking feeling dissapointment x4. 

 

Evan~

The inside of the Bar was quite noisy, maybe because of the tournament being showed on that screens. After a few days of being there, Evan became quite used to this new reality. In his original world or timeline... he didn´t even knew anymore, things like TVs or bars or anything like that city existed. He walked next to Marcus, taking seat and looking at the screens, he saw Rexon fighting there, alongside so many people, all of them just on the line of death. "Do you think they will be alright?" Evan whispered to Marcus.

"Good to see you're not dead Rija." Robert said, meaning it. He was still worried about Noah and the others, but at least three of his comrades were still with him. "So, anything interesting happen on your end?" he asked the soldier.

 

Blank nodded, "Ah, I see." he said, cleaning and repairing his weapon. It wouldn't do for him to leave an energy trail to his whereabouts by accident, now would it? "In the meantime, I'll be watching the monitors. It will likely prove useful to learn the others personalities and strategies." he then pulled up a chair in front of the video screens, and sat down.

Rija took a seat in the lift, then closed the door, and smacked a switch. The trolley began to move, bringing them up the mountain. The Soldier looked to Robert. "Not much. I got here, cleared it out of the few zombies in the area, and fixed it up a bit. Figured out how to work out, then proceeded to wait for the rest of y'all." She said briefly, being humble as usual. In reality there were more than a few of those zoms in the lift area. Her eyes turned to Abisk. "I see you guys gained a new member! Hey, name's Rija, I'm a soldier. Who are you?" She asked as nicely as possible. Neena scoffed while she looked out the windows. 

"Just some insane kid who keeps talking nonsense." Neena said dismissively. Rija smiled softly.

"Yes, because the rest of our pasts make so much sense." She retorted gently, before turning her attention back to Abisk.

Ryonne nodded towards Brooklyn. "It's fine. Just be careful. Especially if you can't control it. Darkness can be dangerous." Ryonne said calmly. He turned his gaze to Reiner, and examined him. Tall, two swords, a bit of magic in him. Blond hair, easy smile, a little goofy. Bet girls go crazy for this guy. His analysis complete, Ryonne spoke up. "Good to have you on the team Reiner. Our new friend here is..." Ryonne didn't get a chance to continue. Nikolai took the stage, moving in front of everybody.

"Yo! Nikolai here. Dream away all your worries because you won't have to worry about them anymore! After all, I, Nikolai, ca..." It was Nikolai's turn to trail off. But he was still flapping his mouth, like he was trying to talk. Ryonne smiled a little bit. Man, Silence was the number one spell he had in his arsenal somedays. 

"And you are?" Ryonne asked politely to the new girl. She smiled broadly and curtsied.

"My name is Kinzoku! I'm a metal mage, so anything you need help with on the technical side, I'm your girl!" She exclaimed, boisterous. Ryonne examined her as well. She seemed almost too good. She carried a brown satchel that presumably held her weapons, and had a bright smile and cute face. She was cheery, amiable, photogenic, the perfect girl. He glanced to Brooklyn. They'd have to watch out for her.

"Good to meet you as well Kinzoku. Now, as it is almost sunset, I say we move a bit farther from this mansion, and set camp. Sound good Brooklyn?"

~~~~~~

Just ahead of Derik seemed to be a clearing with a few buildings. When he approached, it became clear that it was practically empty except for two people. Auron and Mes were there, in the center of town. When Derik came closer, something exploded suddenly in front of him, knocking himm off his perch and to the ground. Now, in front of him stood the Lion, holding a red sphere. The Lion roared and tossed the sphere at Derik. The sphere exploded when it reached it's target.

~~~~~~

Mes smiled at Auron and nodded gratefully. That's when Mes heard a scream. Or, a weird scream roar synthesis. In any case, Mes became instantly alert. But it didn't sound like a battle cry like the other roars had. This one sounded almost painful. Mes bit her lip while she considered her option. Get the heck out of this jungle sounded like a good idea. But... Shouldn't she go at least check out whatever made that scream? Mes sighed. Sometimes she hated being a good person. She grabbed Auron's wrist, and pointed towards where she had heard the scream come from. They ran in that direction, until they rounded a corner. On the ground, was, as far as Mes could tell, a pregnant lion woman. "Uh-oh." Mes said softly. The poor woman seemed to be in pain, breathing heavily. Mes looked at Auron, and was about to tell him something, when his weakness came back swiftly and with a vengeance. So instead, she lit the ground on fire. When the fire disappeared, ashes spelled out: "GO GET A CAT PERSON FOR HELP". Mes nodded to it.

~~~~~~

"I must presume that it is some kind of poison gas with paralysis as a major symptom." The Doctor stated as three more cat soldiers began to approach him. Recognizing that he was getting too rigid to deal with all of them, the Doctor fished out his book rapidly, and threw it open to a random page. A huge headless monster roared out from the pages and tackled all three of the enemies to the ground, and began to wail on them with it's brick sized fists.

 

~Elsewhere~

The shop owner raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Wait? You're airdropping them? I thought that was outlawed back in the 6th season!" He exclaimed. "I thought you were just grabbing them for souvenirs. But if you're going to actually get them into the Games, let's see here...." The owner's voice faded away as he entered the backroom. Severa sidled up next to Terranort, and put the rest of the things she had gathered from around the store onto the counter. The owner reentered, carrying a large bag. He threw the bag onto the counter. "These are artifacts belonging to that Neena girl. Man, is she great. Favorite to win personally. Anyway, if I recognize these, then these'll do her a lot of good. Let's see, all of these items rings your total up..." The total popped up on the register. Severa sighed, and threw down the cash. The shop owner smiled, and loaded a magical holding bag with the items. "I hope to see those in play soon!" He said. Severa gave an ambiguous smile, then grabbed the bag and promptly left."

~~~~~~~

Marcus smiled grimly. "We have to trust they will be until we can get them out of there." The bartender walked over to them as they sat on the barstools. 

"What can I get you two today?" He asked. Marcus gave a bright smile.

"I'd love just a glass of water for now. Thank you." He said. The bartender nodded and looked to Evan.

~~~~~~

"Oh, don't worry. I will be." Cordelia dismissed the Master's worry. She opened the doors, opening the way into a vast lobby. There were two spiral staircases leading up at the end of the room, a huge vaulted glass ceiling. A fountain and several flower beds were around. And to their direct left, was a secretary's desk.

Rija took a seat in the lift, then closed the door, and smacked a switch. The trolley began to move, bringing them up the mountain. The Soldier looked to Robert. "Not much.

"Well, unless I'm absolutely nuts, I come from some sort of video game, I guess? Don't remember much, but it seems no one else understands what I'm saying, though. At any rate, I can see all of your HP bars and can do light healing as a result, and have attacks apparently called... let's see here..." He flipped through the virtual handbook. ""Sword Skills", which apparently always make contact with something, no matter what. Dosen't mean they get damaged, I guess, but that's something. "Brooklyn shot a look back to Ryonne, stating "I don't trust this person", but nonchalantly he shrugs and says "Sure. why not? We should rest as much as possible, the fights will only be intense from here.Derik yelled, seeing the incoming explosion, then being hit with another. His clothing scorched, and his hair burnt, he ripped off his shirt. "You want to fight me? Fine! I'll kill you, three times over!" He couldn't feel it, but blood ran down his left arm as he drew his beam sabre and gripped the broken lion's sword. Derik took this instant: pumping into the air and a short hight, and slamming his foot down and throwing the thick, broken blade at the Lion's direction, vanishing, Derik moved out behind the lion, dragging the beam saber through the ground and sending an uppercut slash towards the Lion's back.

"Yeah, I'd like to get away from here.  More bad than good stuff around."  Bronshu says.  He turns to Kinzoku and thinks:  A metal mage?  That sounds pretty cool.  She could probably help out with Techkinesis, don't you think Diasor? Unsure on the matter, Diasor responds:  "I suppose, in a sense.  But I suggest you be careful around her."  Bronshu:  "What?  Why should I?"  Diasor:  "She seems to good to be true.  And something about her just screams with suspicion."  Bronshu:  I think you're worried for no reason."  Diasor: "I hope you're right on that."

 

"Poison?!  Wait, that's right.  There was supposed to be poison coming after our group earlier.  I guess this is it."  Rexon says.  He sees two more cat men heading towards himself.  "I can hardly move my arms.  I can't fight like this.  But maybe...."  Rex struggles moving his right arm, trying to point his keyblade upward.  When he finally got it up, he shouts:  "Overguard!", placing a barrier of light around himself and the Doctor.  The cat warriors that were after Rex crashed into the barrier, and were sent flying back.  Relaxing a little, he says:  "Good, it works.  This ought to keep us safe for a few seconds.  Now, to figure out how to get out of this mess."

 

~Elsewhere~

Inside the lobby, Ranco took a good look at his surroundings.  Crossing his arms, he remarks:  "Now, where to miss Cordelia?  Should we head straight for the staircases, or ask around?"

Ryonne nodded towards Brooklyn. "It's fine. Just be careful. Especially if you can't control it. Darkness can be dangerous." Ryonne said calmly. He turned his gaze to Reiner, and examined him. Tall, two swords, a bit of magic in him. Blond hair, easy smile, a little goofy. Bet girls go crazy for this guy. His analysis complete, Ryonne spoke up. "Good to have you on the team Reiner.

"What can I get you two today?" He asked. Marcus gave a bright smile.

"I'd love just a glass of water for now. Thank you." He said. The bartender nodded and looked to Evan.

~~~~~~

Reiner~

"Well seems we can rest... for now" Reiner said as he took a look around, the wind was the same, the ground was so similar, even you could feel the magic flowing around, yet still... "something is missing" he muttered while taking a look to the sunset skyes.

 

Auron~

"Mes what are you gonna do?" Auron replied quite concerned, it could be a trap, yet still. Also he coulnd´t communicate to her due to the loss of his game, and to make things worse, they didn´t knew how long the poison could have effect on them. And yet still... "Whatever you gonna do, I´ll watch your back"

 

Elsewhere~

"Same as well, thanks" Evan said as he lost himself for a moment on his thoughts. What things had become just now, a plot that even the dark ones in his world could never imagine, how could they return to home? Of course it didn´t matter anymore due to they being dead at all, but...  

Neena spun her sword between her fingers, then lit it with darkness. Good. Everything was back to full capacity. She then put it back into the sheath. Neena glanced to Robert. "They could be dead. Or incapacitated to some degree. In any case, there is nothing we can do for them right now. They are not with us, so they are either at the lift Rija pointed out, or the Watcher took them away." Neena said coldly, not seeming very interested in the fates of her other companions. "Speaking of that lift, we should probably head there." Neena continued briefly, then started walking in that direction without waiting. As soon as they set foot outside the building they had fallen into, it became apparent that something was different. The ruined city was now practically empty. No more wild zombies. The most likely reason was that since they had defeated the Watcher's trial, he erased everything. That was fine with Neena.

 

Neena, Robert, and Abisk reached the lift Rija had pointed out earlier, where they found the Soldier standing, leaning against the cable car. "What took you guys so long?" She asked, a smile gracing her lips. Neena entered the cable car.

"Off beating whatever took our powers." The Assassin replied calmly. She seated herself in the lift and glared at the others to join her. They needed to get going if they were ever going to get out of here.

~~~~~

Ryonne looked through the monitors, and answered Bronshu. "I would presume that those two are new contestants. But... something's off with Brooklyn. I sense, darkness. Yes, he seems to be falling into darkness to some degree." Ryonne spoke, examining the details of the scene in the monitor. "Is there a microphone somewhere we could use to talk to them?" Ryonne asked, turning back around to look about the room. Nikolai also glanced around, his eyes quickly landing on a microphone. He smiled and grabbed hold of it. 

"Hello hello, this is your pilot, Nikolai speaking. Buckle your seatbelts because I have no idea how to fly this thing." Nikolai joked through the microphone. The Swordsman snatched the microphone from Nikolai, shooting him an irritated glare. Nikolai only shrugged and grinned.

"This is Ryonne. Sylar and Blank are gone. Sylar claims Joshua wasn't here. There's an evacuation button that will get us out of here. I am going to push it now. And Brooklyn? Calm down. You don't want to fall too far." Ryonne said, hoping to defuse the situation. Then he calmly set the microphone down, and hit the red button.

 

Everyone in the mansion appeared outside of it, behind the mansion and outside the large fence. Ryonne glanced around, checking to see who was with them at the moment. Himself, Nikolai, Bronshu, Dom, Brooklyn, and the two newcomers. He hoped everyone else was well, wherever they might be.

~~~~~~

The lion had dodged the first burning log pretty easily. But the stupid human would not let up. The hilt of the sword hit him in the skull and it hurt pretty bad. The Lion rolled forward, knowing his opponent was behind him. He leaped to his feet, and faced the enemy. His sword was useless now. He threw it at Derik, but he knew it wouldn't do much good. It just needed to occupy him for a few split seconds while he.... The Lion was gone. Vanished from sight. As soon as the Lion had disappeared, a purple mist began to creep in. Derik could already feel his movements becoming more and more limited. The poison the Watcher had promised was coming, and no matter the training, none could resist it's effects due to the otherworldly nature of it.

~~~~~~

The Doctor appraised the cat men. He nodded. "Indeed. It would seem that would be the case." The Doctor replied curtly. Warthrop took a few steps forward, spear held loosely in his hand. A hunter's grip. He stood calmly until one of his opponents could wait no more and rushed toward him. The Doctor sidestepped, and lashed out with his spear, knocking the enemy's blade out of his hand. The cat did not seem to hesitate,slashing out with his claws as soon as his weapon was gone. Warthrop stepped backwards, and spun his spear, knocking away the attacks, before lunging with the butt of the spear. He hit the cat's gut, sending it sprawling. The Doctor did not wait to thump the blunt end of his spear into his enemy's head, knocking it out. The Doctor glanced around again, his eyes having taken on a daring tone. A purple mist began to leak into the clearing. The Doctor and Rexon could feel themselves becoming weaker, muscles locking up, harder to move. Something would need to change and quick, or the poison would kill them all. The cat men did not seem to be affected.

~~~~~~

Sylar and Blank reappeared from the shadows in the cabin. Sylar looked to Blank. "Wait I suppose. Might as well. After all, it's nearly the end of the day anyway." Sylar said curtly, in an uncaring tone. He yawned and wandered towards the kitchen area. Torturing people was tiring. And he hadn't eaten since those souls earlier. Sylar cracked a smile at his own inner joke. On the monitor were several video feeds of what the contestants in the arena were going through. Inside the cabin were also Anthony Timon and Lucifer.

 

 

~Elsewhere~

Severa grabbed a bamboo bo staff. It would do someone good, she was certain. Not everyone was armed after all. The shop owner looked at Terry. He seemed a little wary of his customers, but didn't do anything. He wasn't going to turn down potential customers. "Well, this scroll is for earth magic that was used by Rexon. And this one is darkness magic that says was used by Brooklyn. Oh, and I have something else you might be interested in!" The shop owner said, reaching into a display case. He plopped the object onto the counter. "A deck of magic cards fresh from the Reaper's Game. Used by Auron." He said happily.

~~~~

Inside the bar were a few drunk patrons, and a monitor showing the most recent events in the arena. Marcus pursed his lips as he saw the purple mist come into the jungle. That wouldn't do anyone good. But he needed to focus on his mission so that they would help the guys out in there. He sat at the bar, and gestured for Evan to join him.

~~~~

Cordelia stood on the other end of Master Ranco's portal. In front of them was a huge palace, decorated with gold and marble. Angelic would be the only real way to describe it. Cordelia nodded very businesslike, and pointed towards the huge wooden doors straight out of a fairy tale. "We have no reason to not start at the front door." Cordelia said briefly, and began to walk towards the entrance of the Administrative Building.

Inside the cabin, Anthony Timon was bored. He was currently standing, twirling his pole-arm around in an acrobatic manner, before dropping it accidentally, and scrambling to pick it up. The reason he was bored was quite simple. He was bursting with energy, and he didn't have a single way to release it, not yet. He looked at his current companion, someone who was standing right next to him. The person standing near him really didn't interest him, but the other two people in the cabin were currently talking to each other, and as such, Anthony really didn't care right then and there. But then Sylar walked over to the kitchen, so Anthony decided to follow him. He figured that one of those two would know a few things of value to him. Finally approaching Sylar, he asked him, "Since I'm probably the only one with common sense here, I've got to ask. What am I doing here? And for that matter, who are you?" There was something about Sylar that he just didn't like, but then again, he didn't exactly like anyone else. And having very few memories frustrated him, and he needed to vent that frustration on someone. He knew who he was, and some of the things he had done, but no idea why he had so much power, nor why he could control it so well. 

(  I'll edit it this once I learn where Ilya is)

 

A young man, barely in his late twenties glanced around the cabin, apparently bored. Following the sound of voices, he appeared before Anthony, sending a regal smile in his direction. "Quite restless, are we? I do not quite recall most of my memories, but I still know how to demonstrate my power. Care for a taste?" he offered. Gilgamesh, my name is Gilgamesh. Raising his right hand, he summoned a key, and turned it in the air. I own.... treasures? I can't remember all of them... but I own some. Having a portal appear behind his back, he made a gesture at his adversary. "Care to inspire me?"

(Hey Soul and Nort, in case you didn't realize, all combat skills in the character sheet are remembered.)

 

"A video game? Interesting. Wouldn't think that the Watcher would pull characters from a game." Rija pondered. That did seem strange. Perhaps there was some kind of special circumstance surrounding his particular game that would warrant taking him into his foul game. She glanced up towards the top of the mountain, where they were heading. The pillar of light was still in the distance, meaning this mountain wasn't the one they were looking for. A shame, but she knew it would only be a matter of time before they reached their destination. Maybe she would even get the chance to find her husband once she reached there. She twisted her ring nervously. 

 

The lift slid to a stop in a shack at a dock of sorts. Neena got out, and walked a few steps. Around was a flat area of the mountain, an inch or two of snow coating the ground. In front of them, was a large cabin. Neena glanced back to the others, then started for the cabin. She reached the door, and tried the knob. The door creaked open without a problem. Neena peeked in, on guard for whatever danger may come her way. But there was nothing. She stepped into the cabin, and suddenly, all the lights in the building turned on. Neena drew her sword, about to stab the first thing that moved. Rija rushed into the cabin, and looked around. "What's wrong?" The Soldier asked.

"...I don't know. The building just turned on when I walked in. I didn't do anything." Neena said suspiciously. 

 

No need to worry!

You've reached a safe zone.

Here at this delightful mountaintop cabin, we have full amenities.

Bedding, food, water, light, heat, running water, anything you could want!

Well, except for your memories.

There aren't any of those here.

But, for the night, I would strongly suggest staying here.

Promise, no dirty tricks.

So, make yourself at home.

Get a good night's rest

Because tomorrow's going to be stressful!

 

The Watcher's voice gave them a warm welcome. Neena glanced about suspiciously, but sheathed her sword. So far, the Watcher had been trustworthy. Rija seemed to calm down as well. She smiled at the rest of the group. "I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'd love first class lodging like this!" The Soldier said cheerily.

~~~~~

"Alright, it's settled then. We'll move on a bit." Ryonne stated, the group having reached an agreement. So, the Meadow Group travelled past the mansion, reaching a clearing complete with cots, a fire pit, and food and water. Ryonne nodded. Good. He had been expecting something like this nearby. The Watcher wanted his audience to be entertained, and having them sleep-deprived and hungry would most certainly not be entertaining. Nikolai quickly strode forward, and laid on a cot, stretching out fully. 

"Ah, nothing better than a night out under the stars eh Kinzoku?" Nikolai said. The Mage grinned flirtatiously as she took the cot next to Nikolai. 

"Only with company." She replied.

"That, is something I can do." Nikolai whispered to her, making his voice falsely deep. This gal was something for sure. Nikolai could tell he was somewhat of a ladies man, and he was glad there was at least one chick around here that would fall for his charms. Ryonne, having built a fire, sat back on a cot of his own.

"First rule, don't get closer than six inches from one another. We can all see you." The Swordsman stated, his words clearly directed towards Nikolai and Kinzoku.

"Spoilsport!" Nikolai called back playfully. He was hit by a ham.

"Second rule, no insulting me. Punishment: dinner duty." Ryonne said, relaxing on his cot. He closed his eyes and smiled as he listened to Nikolai grumble and set to work cooking.

~~~~~

Having learned from his encounter with the beam sword earlier, the Lion knew that he could not block it. So he rolled forward, underneath the thrown sword which hurtled towards where he had been just moments before and Derik now stood. The Lion stood up now, and pulled a large shield off his back. He charged Derik, faked right, but switched course at the last second and hit Derik, sending him flying into the village. The Lion strode out of the jungle, now in clear view of anyone in the village.

(Sorry for that forced hit, story nonsense. I know Derik could have evaded it.)

~~~~~

Mes looked at Auron, then something caught her eye. Derik, flying from the jungle and a lion man walking into the village behind him. Mes snapped her fingers towards the Lion. Her expression and eyes clearly said something along the lines of "Go get him!" Mes turned back to the pregnant lion woman. She knelt next to the woman. She thought to herself, how do they show pregnancies in media and stuff? Her largely absent memory was not helping. The lion woman clutched Mes' hand, seeming to want anything to hold onto. The woman also seemed far too distracted with her own problems to worry that Mes was supposed to be an enemy. Or maybe... Maybe they knew that Mes and the others didn't want to be their enemies.

~~~~~

The Doctor looked around at the shield. Interesting magic this boy had. Interesting and quite helpful, the Doctor would give him that. He began to thumb through his book, looking for anything that might be of some use here. He reached a page, and understood what he could do immediately. He summoned his Phoenix, and let it perch on his shoulder. The Doctor cooed to the bird. The Phoenix shed some tears, as if on command. They fell onto the Doctor's arm. He felt his strength return. Warthrop quickly reached for a vial, and collected some more of the Phoenix' tears. He offered the vial to Rexon. "Here. This will cure you of the poison as long as you are unexposed."

Sylar looked behind him, and spotted two new guys. He smiled broadly. New playmates. Colleagues. "Hello. I suppose you guys want to know why you're here don't you? Well..." Sylar briefly explained their role, how the Watcher had collected them to be opponents for the other contestants, and the more chaos they caused, the more memories they received. "Sound good? Great. Now, you two get settled and do... what ever you do. I wouldn't recommend fighting any of them now. It's nearing night time, and night is supposed to be a safe zone for them." Sylar finished, beginning to set back on preparing some food. "Oh, and Terminator over there is Blank. Android that is supposed to help us out."

(Hey Soul and Nort, in case you didn't realize, all combat skills in the character sheet are remembered.)

 

"A video game? Interesting. Wouldn't think that the Watcher would pull characters from a game." Rija pondered. That did seem strange. Perhaps there was some kind of special circumstance surrounding his particular game that would warrant taking him into his foul game. She glanced up towards the top of the mountain, where they were heading. The pillar of light was still in the distance, meaning this mountain wasn't the one they were looking for. A shame, but she knew it would only be a matter of time before they reached their destination. Maybe she would even get the chance to find her husband once she reached there. She twisted her ring nervously. 

 

The lift slid to a stop in a shack at a dock of sorts. Neena got out, and walked a few steps. Around was a flat area of the mountain, an inch or two of snow coating the ground. In front of them, was a large cabin. Neena glanced back to the others, then started for the cabin. She reached the door, and tried the knob. The door creaked open without a problem. Neena peeked in, on guard for whatever danger may come her way. But there was nothing. She stepped into the cabin, and suddenly, all the lights in the building turned on. Neena drew her sword, about to stab the first thing that moved. Rija rushed into the cabin, and looked around. "What's wrong?" The Soldier asked.

"...I don't know. The building just turned on when I walked in. I didn't do anything." Neena said suspiciously. 

 

No need to worry!

You've reached a safe zone.

Here at this delightful mountaintop cabin, we have full amenities.

Bedding, food, water, light, heat, running water, anything you could want!

Well, except for your memories.

There aren't any of those here.

But, for the night, I would strongly suggest staying here.

Promise, no dirty tricks.

So, make yourself at home.

Get a good night's rest

Because tomorrow's going to be stressful!

 

The Watcher's voice gave them a warm welcome. Neena glanced about suspiciously, but sheathed her sword. So far, the Watcher had been trustworthy. Rija seemed to calm down as well. She smiled at the rest of the group. "I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'd love first class lodging like this!" The Soldier said cheerily.

~~~~~

"Alright, it's settled then. We'll move on a bit." Ryonne stated, the group having reached an agreement. So, the Meadow Group travelled past the mansion, reaching a clearing complete with cots, a fire pit, and food and water. Ryonne nodded. Good. He had been expecting something like this nearby. The Watcher wanted his audience to be entertained, and having them sleep-deprived and hungry would most certainly not be entertaining. Nikolai quickly strode forward, and laid on a cot, stretching out fully. 

"Ah, nothing better than a night out under the stars eh Kinzoku?" Nikolai said. The Mage grinned flirtatiously as she took the cot next to Nikolai. 

"Only with company." She replied.

"That, is something I can do." Nikolai whispered to her, making his voice falsely deep. This gal was something for sure. Nikolai could tell he was somewhat of a ladies man, and he was glad there was at least one chick around here that would fall for his charms. Ryonne, having built a fire, sat back on a cot of his own.

"First rule, don't get closer than six inches from one another. We can all see you." The Swordsman stated, his words clearly directed towards Nikolai and Kinzoku.

"Spoilsport!" Nikolai called back playfully. He was hit by a ham.

"Second rule, no insulting me. Punishment: dinner duty." Ryonne said, relaxing on his cot. He closed his eyes and smiled as he listened to Nikolai grumble and set to work cooking.

(Actually, that;s an alright hit. Derik had his weight up against you for an attack and you countered effectively. he couldn't evade, but a rushed block could have been done, but if the intent was to send flying and not harm heavily then a blow like that wouldn't mind being blocked anyway.)

 

Derik came crashing to the ground, landing near the other two. "Grr..." Derik grunted, his laser sword had landed into the ground near him, he snorted in defiance, forced himself to his feet, and drew his blade. "...Mes. You got a weapon I could use? I have a bit of a furry fury problem and one just won't be enough for this one, I'm afraid." He looked at the beast and snarled. "Because I want to absolutely dominate this punk right here, right now." With a grin on his face, his sharp K-9 teeth bared, Derik could feel his blood rushing.  Well, figuratively, at least. Physically he was feeling nothing...

 

Brooklyn sat on a cot. "I don't trust any of them..." Brooklyn thought, looking around the area, he coughed and lied back on the cot. He couldn't sleep, let alone rest. "I'll keep watch... If the Watcher or anyone betray us, I want to be ready in that instance." Brooklyn smelled the food cooking, and though he normally would be hungry, he wasn't. "I don't get t. I don't feel any hunger, even after that ordeal..." Brooklyn coughed again, and looked around. 

 

Abisk only smiled. "An Inn that doesn't have a cost? I'll take it any time!" trotting in with some glee. "I hope we have some good bread or something!"

In the clearing, Bronshu claps and rubs his hands together.  "Oh boy, dinner time!" he happily said, grabbing a cot and finding a place to rest.  He tabs Nikolai's right shoulder and says:  "I'd like a little extra meat in my meal please."  Bronshu puts down the cot at a good spot and sits down.  He puts his left arm on his knee and watches the fire.

 

Catching the vial with his free hand, Rexon replies:  "Great.  Thank you."  He struggles to move his arm, dropping the Phoenix tears on his legs.  Rex could feel them working and starts moving again.  Fully motional now, he shouts to the Doctor:  "I say we forget these guys and go! We should get away from this area before more of the poison comes."

The young child laughed at the statement. "Sounds like a game, hehe." With her childlike stature and cheerful demeanor, no one could guess her true age was eighteen. "I'll hold back on fighting now, if you say so!" The tall giant that stood next to her contrasted in every single way. From his enormous height, to his black hair color, they were polar opposites. "Grrrr....." the giant, Hercules, snarled. "Hrgh....." In reality, he was evaluating the situation. We shouldn't have a problem as long as we stay together.

( *cough* Ilyas and Ber aren't around yet. Sylar was talking with Gil and Anthony)

{Dom}

Dom acted as rear guard for the Meadow Group, always keeping an eye on the Mansion. They had survived that challenge, but that was just an appetizer. There was bound to be tons more.

Once the Group made it to the camp site, Dom kept up a vigilant look out for more trouble. She listened to some of the banter between the others, but didn't join in. She wondered if she stayed this much of an outsider in her life before this like she did now. It also didn't help that she was starting to feel edgy again. She had felt good when she was in the thick of the action, but now that things were calming down, at least briefly, she felt like she was going to climb the walls.

She distracted herself from this feeling by concentrating on the smell of food.

"What you throwing together?" She asked Nikolai as she continued to scan for dangers with her optical patch and her energy sense.

 

{Terranort}

Terry had a little grin when the shop owner went into the back room, but worked hard to not let it grow when he heard who the items belonged to. Finally, something that might help her directly. He chipped in some money to Severa's payment to help pay for the whole lot. He said nothing as he left with Severa.

Once they were a few blocks away from the shop, he stuck out a hand for Severa to stop. He waved his other hand, causing a large book to appear, floating above his hand . He read something on the page, then closed it and placed it in the bag of items.

"Alright, now how do we get these to the right contestants?" He asked quietly.

(Crap I'm stupid. I'll edit it out later and copy the post for when they're around.)

Reiner~

"Well finally a time to rest I guess" He said while taking seat next to the firepit. Taking a look at the rest of his team, he could notice something; he had one dark growing impulsive, a quite intriguing girl, another girl with a cocky actitude, and a "Don´t invade my personal space" person. Why it all seemed sooooo familiar? he pondered to himself. "Welp, time to break the Ice, So, miss... Ryonne wasn´t it? what´s the plan now?"

 

Auron~

As he saw antonished as Derik fought a cat like person... or better said a lion... he didnt knew, that was an awkward day anyway. However he realized something as he took a look again to the woman. "Emmm Mes?" Kyle started to speak to Mes, "Doesn´t he looks sooooo like she said? I mean he´s a cat like, right? Should we stop Derik or ... " Of course it could have work better if he could listen anything.

(Please just go get the lion so we can move on Daniel. -_- )

 

Mes narrowed her eyes at Auron. She sighed, and muttered something under her breath. Then she nodded and pointed to the Lion. Her expression was a much more emphatic "Go get the stupid lion for help" now. She turned back to the Lioness, whom still seemed to be in pain. Mes's hand was clutched. Really really hard. She could feel the claws of the Lioness digging into her flesh, and as Mes bit her tongue to deal with the pain, she was wondering why the heck she was helping the Lioness anyway. Really she should kill her. But no, she couldn't. That'd be cruel. And she was a good guy, as much as she pretended she wasn't.
