League Of Sidekicks 3: Future Perfect -- Closed and Over...

[CloggedDonkey]

Spoiler: OOC

Well, changed it to make sense, anyway. But, last post, I should have been to bed two and a half hours ago. Damn you, TV Tropes! Why must you make it seem like less time passes than actually does?

Rachel grabbed Dren again and was about to tare him apart, but was grabbed by the man who was asking if he could kill her. "Get off me!" She yelled. She was about to blow him away, too, but was still recovering a little from excreting so much force from pushing Dren away. Huh, too much today. I... I still need to get out of here, bludgeon Jason and Oliver to death in an alleyway, and then figure out a way home. She kept her hand ready to push the man who grabbed her away as soon as she could, and it would only take her a few seconds before she could.

Been there, CloggedDonkey. Several a time... Also, I've left my post a cliffhanger, so as to not impose on Rachel's response. Should Umbra succeed, Umbra will inform Rachel that Magus and her intend to bust her out of there - holding her close with the chain she'd brought (it's normal chain, no spiky weapon bits).

Also, for others to note, Rachel really ought to be the first to respond to the move, so...

Umbra - in a controlled fashion - leapt over to the prisoner, using the chain to attempt to wrap her. Umbra's goal was to be able to get close enough to her so she could whisper the duo's true intentions; she knew not whether she'd succeed, but at least her power wouldn't be lacking in an environment bathed by the not-light of black fire. Now to see if a change in tone won't work... Back to normal now, I guess. Here it goes...

Not knowing what else he could do, Magus grabbed hold of Rachel's hand and sent a simple message into her head over and over again: Umbra and I are here to help you. We're trying to get you out of here.

<spoiler=OOC>Dude Doctor, calm down. No need to keep asking why I wasn't posting...

Minus still stood with his back facing them all. "Actually, I gave that exact command to Dren. Both Dren and Jean were allowed. You however, aren't." he answered Magus finally. He still looked out over the moon, not needing to squint to see the towns upon it. It was covered in many dark dots, and some of them were really bright lights on the.

He began to think of what he should do now. 'I know where there base is... It's not like it was a secret... Maybe send a few squadrons to hit them up? May as well, see how they like the future weapons...' he was thinking really hard, not really caring what was happening behind him.

Ashe looked at the group. "Well that is all well and good, question is, how do we all get there?" he asked, clutching the girl named Charmer tightly to his chest. He needed to make sure she was still okay, she had looked out for him, saving his life, he would do the best he could to make it up to her.

<spoiler=OOC>Okay, with the new powers or stuff you find at HQ, PM them to me first... Just in case...

Ashe looked at the person in front of him, he was about to speak, before realising that he had no idea whether to call the person a He or a She, so he just skipped that part of the sentence. "Yeah sure, We were all here for a reason so obviously Eurasia holds some secrets..." he answered, still un-sure of its gender.

 

[CJ1145]

"Wait." Oliver said, his slow reaction time from the weakness just alerting him to Ashe's question. "You asked how we could get there, right? My powers give me a sort of work-around for flying. If I encase you in a shell of energy, I can carry you with me. I'm not really feeling all that great right now, but I'm pretty sure I can get the group to Eurasia.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Magus abandoned all pretense, grabbed Rachel, ran to rejoin Umbra, and they both ran for the nearest door. Magus focused his staff on the wall of flames and sent a beam of fire at it, temporarily pushing a section of the firewall out of the way long enough him, Umbra, and Rachel to get to the other side.

Once they reached the door, Magus used his key on it, and pushed Rachel and Umbra into his Sanctuary, then entered it himself, shutting the door behind him.

"Fuck," he said panting, "That was close. Umbra, are you okay? And... how is our guest doing?"

 

[CloggedDonkey]

Rachel looked at the two people who had grabbed her and ran. "You two.... why are you trying to help me?" She asked. Great, we already had two spies. Now everything I did was useless. And now these two aren't going to be trusted. Fuck. She stared at the two who had saved her, waiting for any kind of response.

 

[TheDoctor455]

"They were trying to kill you," Magus reminded her, "We couldn't allow that."

Magus stopped.

Well Darian... do you think she should be in the loop?

 

[CloggedDonkey]

"Well, why? You guys had good cover. You didn't have to blow it just to get me out. I could have gotten out on my own... I hope." She looked around where she was, and decided not to ask about. Well, it seems these two did more to help me out than Jason did. I can't believe he just left me here because I told him he messed up my plan.

 

[TheDoctor455]

"I'm sorry," Magus said, "But we can't let you remember any of this."

Magus placed a hand on Rachel's forehead.

"This won't hurt," he told her.

With that Magus entered Rachel's mind.

 

[Moderationintime]

Dren looked around and frowned. "Can't cut through the universe" He murmured "Minus, is there a way you could stop people before they get away instead of instilling fear"

 

[VuvuZelaMan]

Determine if she's genuine first, then we'll see. Magus didn't respond, so Umbra knew he'd gone into the prisoner's mind. "Great, now I get to be on guard duty again. Ah well, beats that act I had to put on earlier." She shivered a bit; for some reason, acting like that seemed foreign to her, even though she'd done so before - a lot as well, actually, since she used that when taking care of civilian needs. But today it just seemed... alien, like it was imitating someone else. *Sigh* I don't have time to worry about it right now. Magus will be done soon - hopefully - and then we'll have to decide what to do with her; we'll need her to ingratiate ourselves with Paragon's group (as we've burnt the bridge to Minus's), but all the same I'm not sure if our secondary motives will be too much of an issue. In any case, Geoff will have to determine what her position on things are before moving forward. And to think this all started because I was bored... Umbra laughed. Well, I won't be for a while, at this rate - THAT'S for sure.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Magus searched through Rachel's mind for any clues as to who Minus and Paragon are, and erasing anything in her mind that could compromise his and Umbra's plan. The only thing that he left in her mind was the strong impression that he and Umbra were there to help her, and that they had saved her from certain death. Then he pulled out of her head completely.

"Umbra," he said, "Thank you. Now... could you put a blindfold on her? I think I know where we might find Paragon."

1000 posts FTW!

Umbra nodded, pulling one out of her belt and tying it around the prisoner's head. "So where do you think Paragon is?" she asked. After a moment, she added, "Oh, and did you find anything out about her position on Paragon? If she's wary enough, she might be receptive to our position." And if not, we'll need to keep her unawares. What happened in Minus's went south pretty quickly. Good thing I brought the chain she said, walking over to where it fell and retrieving it. I might not be able to fight with it very well, but it has its uses...

 

[TheDoctor455]

"Uhh..." Magus hastily said to Rachel, "You're not a prisoner, we rescued you from Minus and his minions. He was going to execute you. We're all going to see Oliver and Jason soon."

Magus decided it was better if he and Umbra continued their part of the conversation telepathically.

What the hell? Why would you call her a prisoner? *Mental sighing* Oh well... I managed to pick up on a strong connection between her and Jason... one of the ones who went with Oliver. So, following that connection, I should be able to get us to the general area.

Magus helped Rachel to her feet, politely gestured for Umbra to help out. He led them to the door, put his key in, and opened it. They emerged within eye-sight of Oliver and Jason.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"Oliver, you take everyone. I figure that Minus won't give up without sending someone after us, and even if he doesn't I think Jean will try and follow... not to mention I left Rachel there and I need to go back for her." Jason said, letting wings grow out of his back.

He didn't wait for a response from Oliver, instead he flapped his wings and took off into the night sky, taking refuge from enemy eyes in the darkness above the town. He slowly made his way back to the tower, not knowing whether he should go in alone, or turn back to help Oliver take the others to Eurasia.
