Nybeth resumed his human form after landing next to Loki. Having been physically active during his entire journey, he seemed worn out, having to take deep breaths and occasionally wiping sweat from his brow. Feeling tired and not wishing to follow along with the airship by flying hiself, he climbed into it shortly behind Loki.

"Naw...you didn't wake me up." Jessica replied to Ness. She yawned and stretched as she climbed out of bed. "Good morning to you too." She nodded to the Rookie as she noticed him sitting nearby, then went over and sat down next to Ness.

Ness looked over toward Jess and gave her a little smile before clicking in the last SD card into her sniper and clicking back the lever, to preload a shot. Afterward, she digitized it and nodded toward Tophat's message. "We're as ready as we'll ever be, I suppose. It's a matter of waiting for him to make his move now."
She began to subconsciously move her left leg up and down as she sat.

Having been looking out of the window of the airship as it flew, Loki spotted the display of magic when it passed over the mountain. Recognising it as Rita's training spot, he started to wonder if it was indeed her, and if so, why she wasn't with Jessica and Ness. He tried to contact her, but obviously, since she had left her pendant, this was to no avail. Once the airship landed, Loki and the Xiphatian that had accompanied him and Nybeth got out. Loki ordered the pilot to keep the airship on the ground, then looked towards Nybeth. "Rest for a while if you need it, then fill the bombs. I wish to investigate something. I will return shortly." Having said that, Loki headed west over the mountain trails, towards Rita's training spot.
After the loading bay was opened, the Xiphatian soldier went to place a charger on each of the bombs.

"Yep. Really only one thing I can do to get any more ready." Jessica replied to Tophat. She stood up and walked over to the bed in the room. Leaning over it, she rolled up her shirt sleeve, then pulled on the release latch on her shoulder, holding her breath to keep herself from yelping. Her right arm detached itself and fell onto the bed with a thud. After releasing her breath and taking a few more moments to breath, she took her tool-set out of her messenger back and started prying open hatches on her arm.

Nybeth nodded to Loki and took a breather while the Xiphatian soldier attached a charger to each of the bombs. Once the soldier was done, Nybeth cast his Poison Cloud spell on each of the chargers. While they did their works, Nybeth went back to sitting down and resting his body.

Seeing the person he saw from above was indeed Rita, Loki approached further. Best be cautious. This may well be an ambush waiting to happen. He shrouded himself while creating a projection. The projection approached the crater, while Loki himself stayed further back. "You are alone out here?" he asked, speaking through the projection.
(To Jessica, Ness & the Rookie: I will attempt to locate Loki, it may take a while. When you are able Jessica, could you create a mental link? It could prove quite useful.)
Tophat began pushing its senses out, slowly expanding the radius in which it could sense souls. This was far more difficult that simply focusing on a single soul, but Tophat did not know Loki's soul well enough to do that.

"I suppose I could try and make a mental link with more than one person...it'd be kinda hard for me to keep it going though." Jessica replied to Tophat through her thoughts. She looked up from her work as she heard Ness speak to her. "Yeah, I'm fine now. It just kinda stings when I take my arm off."
"What ever would make you think that?" Loki asked, the projection spreading the arms to the side slightly in a theatrical fashion. Soon after this, however, Loki's expression grew more serious, that of the projection along with it. "Whether what you see is or is not truly me is irrelevant. What is not, however, is how you escaped from your abductors."
Given that he had just shrouded himself, Tophat wouldn't sense Loki's soul.

Once the chargers had dispersed the magical energies to all the crystals, the soldier removed the charger and unloaded the three bombs. They were tied to a frame that hovered above the ground using wind magic, making moving them fairly easy.

Unexpected, but most favourable. Loki thought, grinning. Lifting his shroud and dispelling the projection. "I can understand why you ask this; You have been subjected to the truth of things, and were better off for it. Thrown back into an addled state by rebellious minds, it is like poison for you." he remarked, then paused. "Come then. Rejoin the cause, so that all soon might see the true way of things."
"Well, that is most fortunate, as this is the place we will be attacking now." Loki remarked. Not going to risk Rita turning on him, he touched her chest with the scepter, doing to her what he did before. When done, he began walking back towards the airship, motioning for Rita to follow.
Ariving at the airship, Loki was in time to see the soldier place the runes on the bombs. He shrouded one of them, making it so that those he considddered allies could still see it, then turned to Nybeth. "The time is now. Summon two of the thralls, and have them move the bomb on the left into the area I designated."
Once Nybeth would summon the zombies, Loki would shroud them too, and after they moved the bomb to the designated area, would lift the shroud of it and place it on another one, repeating the process until all three of the bombs were in place.

Tophat finally spotted Loki & co, and grunted as it stopped searching.
(To Jess, Ness & the Rookie: He is towards the mountains, and things have gone from bad to worse. Rita is once more under his control. This time, we will not take prisoners. Do not doubt, and kill those who are a threat.) - As it said this, Tophat created a mind-link between Itself, Jessica, Ness and the Rookie, who's thoughts were only emotions and wishes, no real words.
