The Chaos Knight wailed ever harder after the group left, [color=dark orange]"And now even my knave does not know how to pronounce my name! Why must the Chaos Knight be accursed with such terrible fortune!?"[/color]

BlackHarte rubbed his chine in the meantime and walked over to the bridge, he would do his part to keep the airship afloat in the coming storm.

Kyre

Kyre was light, far lighter than Mark would have expected. Her entire body was almost weightless when he tried to flip her, and for good reason. By the time his hands had managed to let go of her body, she was in the air, but rather than tumbling through it like some awkward duck, she was high in the air, blade glinting in the sunlight and refracting the blinding light off the emerald leaves that fell towards the ground.

The young Atni-Mage dove straight downwards, having used Mark's toss as a spring for her own body. Talon and Fang were curved swords however, and would not stab very well, so she held them to her sides, another x-wise cut, and this time a falling guillotine.

As the others prepared to jump off; Angelus and Caim were giving last minute lecturing to their son and Ton Ton about riding a dragon, while Jake and Teri clamored onto Angelus' neck. The dragon did her best not to shift uncomfortably with the extra weight; but did not voice any complaints. They were not heavy, but it was still something the dragon was not accustomed to.

A few more moments passed when the dragon felt additional weight near her tail, and gave a light growl, "You'd best hang tightly, for I do not know what would happen to those back there. Caim, get on. We're leaving before any more humans get a bright idea... Hold on tightly to anything you do not want to lose. To the skies!"

As the warrior clamored up on his normal perch; the dragon spread her mighty wings, and gave a proud roar, which Cadolbolg attempted to copy, with little success. Two steps were taken by the mighty red, and she; along with her son and various riders, plunged to the dark marsh below.

Fitting Music. [http://tindeck.com/listen/ktbh]

Lucifer | Devon:

Devon saw the gong in reach and reached deep within him to make that last charge to the gong and used the pommel of his blade to pound at the gong, the blade ringing in an eerie harmony to the gong. Whatever was supposed to be woken up by that gong would hear the extra ringing and might spur them on to move over to the area quicker. Until they arrived, though, Devon would have to hold his ground with the fire imps. "Come on, we can make it! Just hold the line until we get that help!" He fought alongside the imps, doing what he could to back the imps up

Tajuh made sure the rest of the group was geared up before making the jump. The wind forced him over to the area where Kyre was fighting Puce, who was visible to Tajuh because of the attack. Upon landing, Tajuh drew a blade from his wallet and held it up to parry the attack from the Emerald Silence. "Mark, leave. Now." Upon eyeing up the woman, he could see that she was a legitimate threat and placed himself between the author and the psychotic woman.

[hr]

Melethia looked at the vials with interest after jumping up to where Kurumu is and opening the parachute to fall down. "Hey, maybe after this, can I go and take a look at what stuff you put into that? Maybe I could use it to give my own stuff some more bang."

[hr]
Slindis moved over to the foul-mouthed Siren. [color=c20000]"It looks like you're stuck with me. We can introduce each other upon landing."[/color] The paladin put on a simple ring engraved with a feather and grabbed the woman before jumping down safely, their fall being slowed almost to the speed of a feather.

Slindis and Saya

Slindis looked at the Siren during the fall and shrugged. [color=c20000]"I know that look you had in your eye. I'm guessing you were aiming on a grand landing, right? I wasn't going to risk you messing up your landing and having me or Teri fix something that didn't need to happen in the first place."[/color] It was clear that Slindis had killed the woman's grandstanding, but the fact that the blueish-gray woman had picked her up so effortlessly showed she was strong underneath all of that armor. And were those pointed ears?

[color=c20000]"If you need to know right now, I'm Slindis. It's clear that you're not from anywhere I've been, but I'll try to not hold you back."[/color] She had already damaged the woman's ego a bit from how they were landing, so she didn't want to offend her any more

Akane nodded, then promptly turned and threw up. Wiping her mouth, she gave a weak smile. "Aftan love, didn't I tell you last time to give me warning about teleports? I could have flown down. Oooh, its okay i am sure I will feel better soon. That bacon was probably not the best of breakfasts to have today..."
[hr]
"Thank you Angelus." Jake said as the great red dragon took to the skies. Her roar shook him and filled him with an awesome feeling.

The wind whipping past his face, the feel of the majestic dragon, all of it threatened to overwhelm the Author. But it didn't, and a feral grin not unlike Caim's spread across his face. He pumped a fist into the air.

"OFF WE GO! INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER!" he shouted, his voice all but lost to the wind.

When they landed, the Drow took the ring back from the woman, showing that she was annoyed as she got out of the woman's arms. [color=c20000]"You do realize you could have just killed the both of us? And if you ever think to taking anything from me again, don't. Now then, we're going to make a path through this jungle."[/color] The Paladin drew two blades from her Bag of Holding and effortlessly skewered one of the tainted panthers that approached the two.

Teri let out a mechanical whoop to the wind as she was held in place by one of Caim's arms. Clinging to her staff tightly; the young cleric looked on as the heavy skyline slowly gave way to the foreboding lands below.

The swordsman, while he usually enjoyed his rides; was not appreciating the cramped conditions. Usually, he would find himself free to the air about him. Now, with a short girl in front of him, and a behemoth behind; Caim couldn't help but feel irritated.

A rumbling laugh emitted from the dragon when she 'heard' her partner's thoughts, the flesh below the little group shaking in waves as she laughed. "'Why are these fools on my dragon?' Selfish, even in necessity. I'll keep that in mind."

As they flew, the group on Angelus' back could see the eerie blue light of Ton Ton's lantern as Cadolbolg and his green rider followed closely after his 'parents'.

Altea and Kalastryn? They could only hang on for the ride.

Slindis let the Siren go through her rant before calmly talking with a slight waver in her voice. [color=c20000]"It doesn't matter who you are, honestly. I've seen men and women of every race get impulsive like that, and I'm just not comfortable picking up the bodies any more. Yell however much you want... I'm just trying to look out for someone I work with. As for my items, they're all from a home that I'll never be able to see again, and losing them means losing the memories that I gained with them."[/color]

Inside the Tablet
Dimitri's once placid expression changed as his mouth creased into a faint frown, [color=3897E0]

"I would help you, Ms. Vermilion, but I am afraid that I do not know how. I have no access to any mechanical components of User: Kyre, nor am I able to. She has none, as far as I know. What would you have me do to aid you?"

[/color]

He clapped his hands, revealing the identities of his allied programs and The_Nine_Iron that leaned against his chair.

[color=3897E0]

"They are free to aid you, but again, I do not know [u]how[/u] they would do so."

[/color]

In the Sky

Ton Ton nodded eagerly, "I'm doing fine! However, it is a little hard for me to hold onto my equipment while holding onto you. But I imagine I can manage till we reach ground level. But I will say, it is nice going a bit faster than normal."

If he could have smiled, he would have grinned ear to ear.

Devon cautiously approached the woman and kissed her hand. "It's nice to meet you, Ageha. I'm Devon, and I was coming here for a bit of training. Real sorry about forcing you to rush, but it was getting kind of tight there." The man was clearly a bit nervous being around the succubus, but the connection between her and Kurumu passed over his head. If he could take a look into a mirror, he would see that the time spent in Heaven had done a lot to making him look better, even if it had removed his facial hair.

Tajuh shook his head and moved next to the man, ready to defend the reckless writer. What kind of idiot brings a gun to a CWC situation?

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia: Drop Group #4

Kurumu followed her short elven ally down, mirroring the girl's slow decent.

Melethia drew a purple bladed longsword and a purple bladed kukri, ready to fight the creatures along the way. "Ooh, I can't wait to see them as well. I've got some stuff of my own, but it's better to use it in close quarters. More damage that way, ya know? 'Sides, it's funner to melt their faces with acid or freeze their bodies with endothermic reactions, Skyhair." It was easy to see that this girl would be a handful.

After the Siren looked through the gadget, Slindis made her way through the corrupted jungle using her training in her now-lost home's dense jungles to great effect. [color=c20000]"Keep up, will you? Even though the landscape's been warped, the same basic rules apply here. Just be glad that trolls don't live here."[/color] Two more currupted panthers pounced at the two, and Slindis skewered the one attacking her through the heart and gut with her rapiers, pulling them out as acid from the blades ate away at the wound.

"Do any of these f***ers have anything good on them? They didn't even put up a good fight."

The drow looked at the fallen cats, judging that their meat wasn't all too git for eating with the way they were already starting to decay. [color=c20000]"Leave them. The magic of this area is corrupting them, although you can remove something from them as a trophy if you feel comfortable with it."[/color] She continued to make a strong pace, and Slindis did note the marking on the woman's arm.

[color=c20000]"Have you had that marking from birth, or did it develop later on in life?"[/color] Her question was clearly out of curiosity, and there was no ill intentions in the question.

"Look, Slindia- or.. Slindy, whatever your name was again; I am a Siren and being one makes me very special. It's a gift, but it can be a curse too. Not that it has a curse, just a downfall really. It's downfall involved @$$holes who want to .. . use me, or .. never mind. I'm alright.. really I am. Okay why are you looking at me like that?"

Slindis paused for a moment before speaking in a tone that was implacable. [color=c20000]"Just call me Slin. I only have one thing to say about your abilities: hide the mark if you don't want others knowing about it, and do so in a way looks natural. More often than not, if the average person has nothing to suspect, they won't. It's just how people are."[/color]

Perhaps it was the scent of the panther blood clinging to Slindis' rapiers, but the creatures around them seemed a bit hesitant to attack. Even in her full plate which was remarkably well-crafted, the paladin moved through the undergrowth with ease. The Siren could see that this pointy-eared knight knew her way around jungles.

Slindis and Saya

"Since you got a word from me .. what made an elf like yourself become a knight. Your origins, where you came from and what you seek in life. Yea the questions are cliche' but I want to know."

Slindis decided to take a quick seat and went to her bag of holding, retrieving a pouch of Jerky and biting into it. [color=c20000]"I was raised in a beaten-up temple deep in the jungles of my home and was pushed towards being a knight rather than a cleric. I still don't get the man's reasoning, but they were raising us. It wasn't easy: from the moment I was able to wear armor and hold a blade, that's what we did. Unfortunately, our first real training mission went to Khyber and the secluded Drow was sent to the big city with enemies without having done a single thing."[/color] She tossed a piece of the dried meat over to Saya and continued.

[color=c20000]"Because of the situation I lived in, it was so easy to see that nobody cared for those that fell in between the gaps, and the city wasn't safe by a long shot. So I used my training to help them, and I picked up a great deal along the way. Even when I joined another order, though, I often had to work outside of the rules because they were simply too restrictive. For what I'll do now? I don't really know, although there's one person that needs a swift kick in the ass and possibly a bit more."[/color]

Kyre rolls a [b]19[/b]

The Anti-Mage dropped down onto the Dramatist's gun with her twin blades, catching her entire weight of Mark's arm. Metal ground against metal as she tried to balance herself, swinging her legs in the air to try and secure another landing position.

She brought the swords together and leapt off the gun's barrel, flipping over once in the air and landing in a pile of emerald leaves a few feet away. Talon and Fang came up one after the other, taking a defensive guardianship of their master.

Kyre scowled, "I have no conflict with you Sir Tajuh," she licked her lips, "but this man has earned my ire, and I wish only to harm him."

He was about to decline when the hunger pangs that had been suppressed while he was in heaven hit with full force. "I don't know how long I can stay, but I'll accept. Although it really should be me making the food for you since you helped out, right?" He put the electric guitar in the case and cautiously followed, still a little bit nervous. However, it would be rude to refuse, and if he didn't get some food soon, he might not make it through the rest of the training.

After all, what was the worst that could be in that food?

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia: Drop Group #4

There was a chuckling that came from Kurumu's mouth as she listened to Melethia's enthusiastic response towards chemistry.

Melethia shrugged at Kurumu's explanation. "I like keeping it simple, though. enough simple things make it quite difficult for someone to bypass, especially if one of the things they're working around causes another one of the traps to trigger." Her talk was stopped upon seeing the explosion, and her eyes lit up. "...you've gotta show me what you put in those."

[hr]


Slindis and Saya

She handed Saya another chunk of the dried meat. [color=c20000]"There are so many different things I'd like to do to the man, but I can't kill him. The reason's complicated, but that would be a very bad move on my part."[/color] The area was still fairly calm for a dark and sinister forest, and the drow took a look around for anything that was off. [color=c20000]"With the knights, they come from all walks of life, and some of them are just complete pains to work with because they always assume that they're better than you in every way. Doubly so if you're a woman. It's almost like they forget Tira Miron was a woman, the thickheaded morons. Bur for the others, I trained with them, but there's no chance of seeing them. After all, they're not on this mortal coil any more."[/color]

[hr]

Tajuh, Kyre, and Mark

The man focused his eyes on Kyre and shook his head. "Kyre, your grudge will wait until we leave, and neither of you will kill each other or I swear to god I will pull this expedition right over." Mark's memory flashed back to a minor fact about each one of Tajuh's abilities: none of them were reliant at all on magic.

Taking a few deep breaths, Ton Ton calmed down after being caught by the little dragon.

[color=15650D]"I'm quite alright. Thank you, Cadolbolg. I'd have been a goner if you didn't show up."[/color]

He sighed, and said, [color=15650D]"It's good that Ms. Kurumu is enthusiastic about clearing a path; but that does not bar some recklessness in her actions. I do hope she thinks of us fliers before doing that again... Come on, let's work on getting to ground level."[/color]

----
BOOM

Teri gasped as she felt herself being crushed against armor by a strong arm upon after the explosion hit. Caim's precaution against her falling off was a smart one, as it had kept her on the dragon. However, it didn't stop the impact from hurting any less. Checking over herself, Teri still found everything intact; from the straps that held her satchel and Dimitri (the tablet) in place, to the staff being clung in her hands. Accessing her thoughts with her staff, Teri couldn't help but ask, [color=3897E0]"Are you alright, Sadei? That blast was a doozy."[/color]

As she did this, Angelus called out to the rest of the riders for sound off, and received nothing from her son and Ton Ton. However, with her great eyes, she could still see the faintest glimmer of the Tonberry's lantern, and could assess the two would be alright. Ton Ton had already proven his worth before, and she was certain he would lead their son well...

"Understood. I was merely extending my end of this partnership; offering my resources as you do yours."

His book opened again, and the various programs relaxed as their master did.

even lowered a few heads to be pet as the AI continued his reading.

[color=3897E0]

"Unfortunately, as the Madam's status is still aerial; I do not believe she will be getting our status readouts until we reach ground level. But we are lucky, for she is with formidable allies. The shelf with items with your clearance are provided there."

[/color]

Several shelves flashed red for a moment when Vermilion looked at them; but was more curious about the files that seemed go gain an assortment of different level securities upon them. Personal files, most likely; as well as access to the Avatar Adventures database. She thought it funny that they both came from Authors; but the one who ran this space was far more paranoid about her insecurities than her creator was.

The staff responded in a wavering tone, I'm okay, Teri. That blast ratted me, but I'm just as fine as you are. That forest down below, however, makes me feel...I don't quite know how to say it, but kind of like how it felt when that brute held me. Still, I'm sure we'll make it through there safely.

Rugal Notice: I don't think Rugal was in any of the groups O_O
After being the first person to make the jump, Rugal quickly learned one of the downsides of the Rising Dawn as a unit: Extremely disorganised.
".....Hello?.......Anyone?.....Slindis?.......Teri?......Riki?....Preacher?......." He asked out as he waited for the others to arrive, unaware of the fact they landed else where.
"..... Unbelievable....They had one thing, ONE THING, to do. GAH! Fucking teenagers...." He cursed to himself as he tried to contact Viscus on his PDA.
....
....
Which he had left in the Medical Bay.
".....Perfect....Just perfect...." He sighed as attempted to make his way though the jungle, using his Slashing Aura and his metal staff to clear his way of vines and bushes, hoping he was going in the right direction.

David West
David had landed by Elena, Kud and Riki as was soon on point, making sure the way was clear for his team.
"Right, so do we actually know which direction we are going in or are we leaving it to luck?" He asked as he tore down some vines in his way.
"Also.....I'm hoping this change in scenery didn't mess up the Eco-System."
"Huh....Never had you pegged as a Environmentalist, love."
"I meant it more in the "Giant Evil Mutated Fly Trap" sense. Because, you know...that'd suck....like a lot.."
And so he advanced, a bit more slowly now with that image in his head.

Teri nodded grimly, "Rugal made you feel bad..? As for this land, just thinking of the place makes me feel a little sick. Hmn... Maybe it's because we can feel the twisted energy of the formerly divine here. But what do I know? I'm just learning my magic stuff here. But... I'm glad your with me. Even if I get separated, you'll be here. Hmn... Before we land, do you mind joining me in a prayer?"

Awaiting her staff's response, she bowed her head, and began to compose her words to God...
----

As Ton Ton and Cadolbolg began their descent towards the ground, the duo heard a cry:".....Hello?.......Anyone?.....Slindis?.......Teri?......Riki?....Preacher?......."

Ton Ton's brow furrowed lightly, and he pointed his Knife in the direction of the sound, "I recognize that voice! It's the blind man. Come on, Cadolbolg, he could be in trouble!"

And so the two speed straight towards the distress call.

Kyre rolls a 15

Kyre screamed shrilly as Mark hit her dead on, her grip slipped as she brought her hands up to shield herself, and the Dramatist's body drove Fang and Talon through the palm of her hands, leaving streaks of red crimson droplets in the chilled air.

"Get... off me..." she groaned, struggling against Mark's unconscious body. Her frame was light, and now that she was under someone rather heavy, she couldn't seem to muster enough room to push him off, "Sir Taju..." she reached out with her hand, "help me out of here..."
