Angel wasn't the kinda girl who was going to leave her friends behind. Staying in the ship wasn't a great option either.. so despite the fact that she had found herself moving in it, she headed back.. against the orders of smashbro who seemed to be taking command. As she reached the bottom of the rope ladder which housed a Highwind-like gray metal airship, Angel ran down and felt something in her hand. Looking down, she saw herself gripping some perfectly designed circular rings. Charkams? She never did know where Colette stored them.. maybe they just always appeared like magic. Running onwards, she noticed that all the fairy troops seemed to be moving back towards the rubble of the hotel.
* * * * *
Jade however was still in a massive fight with the Fairy Princess. Pulling a bottle seemingly out of thin-air, she drank it quickly and started emitting a strange "glowing like" sound. Jade knew she was an accomplished alchemist, though the master had probably had enhanced this ability. He knew that she was much more ready for a long contest, so he needed to end this fast and decisively and get back to the airship before she herself showed back up. But he also noticed that someone else.. someone he didn't anticipate had shown up and was attacking one of the forumers. So now he had two enemies and no way of deciding which one was the more immediate threat. However, he didn't have to in the end. The Fairy Princess herself seemed to notice this new intruder and changed direction of her bow. Flying over gracefully and with tremendous ease to the man in the guise of "Kain", she held her bow to him. "Lay down your arms, or I'll have no choice but to show you the power that my lovely friend has given to me. You must not kill any of them, they are all needed for her." her bow and it's shining gem pointed directly at him.. Jade took this as his advantage to start charging one of his strongest spells, the powerful Mystic Cage. He held it, it's burst of white, powerful light shining as he waited to decide who to use it on first... or maybe try to take both out with one blow.
* * * *
Angel was running down the hill as fast as she could though, not wanting to leave anyone behind. "Everyone needs to come! Now.. or everyone will be in trouble. Don't be hero's, your safety is more important! Please, run!" she was screaming, almost in tears. What was supposed to be a happy dream was already turning sour.. and she was running quickly back to the area. Strangely, she ran right past a number of fairy soldiers.. either they were waiting for further orders or were distracted with something.. because they didn't even attempt to fire an arrow at her. She wondered what could possibly be going on down there..

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING!?” Kismet roared, jumping after Angel. “We’re running away, remember?” He watched in rage and fear as Angel AND smashbro rushed back into danger. “What was the point of running all the way up here again?” He asked out loud as he followed after them. One of the fairies glanced at him and laughed, seeming to find the irony amusing. It didn’t think it was so funny when Kismet kicked its legs out from under it though.
Moments later, he caught up to Angel as she raced back towards the inn, tears forming in her eyes. With a grunt, he grabbed her hand and skidded to a halt, forcing her to stop her mad suicide rush. “Enough!” He yelled, pulling her to a stop. Just then, however, a newcomer appeared, to whom the Fairy Princess began issuing orders. After a moment, Kismet realized he recognized the new arrival. Serras, who he suspected was Roy, had posted a youtube video with this character not long ago…and now Jade looked ready to blast both of them to hell. Kismet held his breath.

With a moment of shock and realization of who Kain had to be and what was about to happen to him at the faerie's hands, he saw only one choice in the matter, and that was to strike first.
Hauling himself upward and rushing the fairy princess, Henry swung his weapon in a high orbit above his head and around, striking ultimately at her hips. He wouldn't stand for this bullshit, not from someone like her. Oh no, not from her.
His rage was gathering like a storm on the edge of his awareness, and although he was trying to keep it contained there, he knew it would very quickly spread. He needed to get out of there, he needed to get out now.
But this came first.

The Fairy Princess was prepared for this.. her swift flying was not only an asset, but the potion she had just drank was a Painkiller, a powerful one. The slash actually did manage to swipe her, but hte potion saw that it barely scratched her skin.. doing very little real damage. She seemed cocky and happy at this, but upset that she had misjudged the new intruder. She wouldn't make that mistake again. However, Jade also realized he was wrong that this second one was an enemy at first glance. Knowing this, his decision was clear. Aiming the blunt of his magic at one target, at the Fairy Princess.
"O admonishing melody, arise in the name of the Necromancer! Mystic Cage!"
Shining light and runes surrounded the Princess, a powerful spell starting to over take her. They were swirling slowly and she seemed paralyzed because of them, unable to move a single muscle. Tears started forming her her eyes, as if she was scared. She didn't have much time to think about it thought because soon to follow was a massive explosion. Or rather an implosion seemed to be created from within the circles themselves, focusing just on here, and all turned a brilliant white for a moment.
Once the light stopped, the Fairy Princess was on the ground, obviously wounded. But at that instant as well.. it was if time froze for a few seconds. A large popping noise sounding in the air, and instantly as if she had always been there the woman from before.. the woman that Angel had seen grabbed in white.. appeared. She seemed a bit shortish, and once again her appearance was mostly hidden by the deep white cloak she was wearing. The only thing that could be seen was a small, but frazzled and unkempt lock of blonde hair stood out. Angel, who had been watching this along with Kismet.. pointed to her with earnest. "It's her.. the girl I saw before.." It really was the girl, and this time she was very much visible. She wasn't just imagining things before.
The woman didn't say anything at first, only seemed to kneel before the Fairy Princess and brush her hair out of her face.. and then touched her softly.. the wounds she had received from Jade's blow all but starting to vanish.. and at a astounding rate. The woman seemed graceful and caring.. and seemed to be rather upset that the fairy was hurt. Strangely, all the soldiers had vanished.. as if they didn't want to be around for what would happen next.. all flying back to their forest. Jade knew this was now or never.. all his hope riding on the line now that she had come back.
"Come, unless you honestly feel like being trapped her for all eternity, I beg you to run! Now!" he said, motioning to all the forumers that remained in the area. He looked actually upset, though it was the first time his cool had actually been blown. The woman in white stood up softly, her power still obviously at work on the Fairy Princess. She turned, and she spoke for the first time. Her voice seemed soft and sweet, but at the same time made a creepy.. background filter noise.. as if she was speaking with two different voices at the same time.. one of a regular girl and another of some sort of snarling monster. She was clutching something in her hand.. it looked to be some ragged material that Angel couldn't identify from where she stood.
"You speak in half truths Jade.. though I guess I shouldn't expect any less of you. I can't change who you are.. but.. Don't you love me Jade? I love you.. I love you so much.." she seemed to be focusing on Jade.. no one else at the moment, and Jade thought silently that they hoped they would use this time to run.. it was all the time they had. Medli and the rest of the resistance could keep them safe.
Angel didn't need to be told twice. She ran.

I stand at the precipice of this battle. In the last three minutes I have attacked, had an attack attempted upon me by a fairy, had said fairy bound by magic, and had the one I had set out to help save MY newly vampiric ass.
My next bet seemed an easy one, the rest were running, but the knight in the blue armor stood firm, he wanted the fairy dead and I was inclined to agree with him. On a normal day in my life I would never believe in striking a woman, NEVER.
But this was no woman, it was a creature, a creature it seemed hell bent on my destruction and if I was going to go out, I was going to do it fighting. I would give this new form of mine a proper send of to the after, or maybe just maybe I would escape victorious.
It seemed obvious to me that the one in blue, who's familiarity nagged at me but I still could not place it, was my only possible friend.
Side stepping the now decommissioned fairy I stood my back next to the knight, my iron sword clenched in both hands and raised above my head in true Kain fashion.
"I don't know who you are bub, but right now it seems like your the only one with a spine. I say we end this HERE and now, if I go to Odin today I will do it with battle in my heart and glory on my lips. How 'bout it bub?"

This was insane, in the last, the man who was now Travis looked at the watch he was convenietly wearing, six minutes. In the last six minutes, he watched an odd, yet furious battle dwindle down to what appeared to be a stand off between four people.
Travis looked down at his legs which were spread out before him. He had watched the entire ordeal, sitting against the doorway of a building a good distance away from the others. Fortunatly, neither group seemed to have noticed him. He laughed at his situation, 'no one notices me, and I can never muster up the courage to make myself known, I guess it's true what they say. The more things change, the more they stay the same'.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, standing up, he gripped his beam katana firmly in his hand. He didn't know what the hell was going on, but he'd be damned before letting all the action pass him by. As he began to walk towards the four, he couldn't help but think that his situation of sitting in a doorway as the action passed him by, could be made into some kind of lymric, but, he had more urgent matters to attend to.
He tried to gather his confidence, to put on a shield of cockyness. He walked between the four, he realized that he had to quickly choose a side. While one side had Roy from Fire Emblem, a hero, it also had a creepy monster thing. While the other side had two, slightly creepy yet, adorable little girls. To him, the choice was obvious.
He pointed his sword at the knight and the monster, choking down his nervousness, he tried to make his new voice as cool and confident as possible.
"Hey, you two! I know a lot of crazy shit has gone down, I know you're probably pissed. But none of that matters now, it's clear this fight is over. So just run along with the rest of your little friends."

((Alright I guess I'll post then))
Henry didn't take kindly to orders typically, but he was more concerned with the fact that things were just getting more and more complicated.
"It's far from done and you don't have all the info. I know it seems a bit sudden but you have to come with us." He said it as calmly as he could manage through the now fading battle high that he had coughed up after the minor scrapes he'd had with the enemies. It was Travis Touchdown who drew his attention, of course, but it didn't seem like Travis. His particular movements, the way he spoke, they were like Travis but also so much like another that Henry knew, in the "real world," if it could be called that any more. What the hell was real any more?
Putting himself back on track, Henry took a step towards Travis, speaking in a low tone and saying, more to himself than to Travis, "Stephen?"

There was an eeiry quiet after the word Stephen had been spoken. Not because no one was trying to talk.. for all Angel knew, everyone was trying to talk at once. It seemed as if everyone's voice had been silenced.. even though Angel was trying to speak with all her might. Angel was still watching from above.. not saying or doing very much. But it seemed a large gathering of people had shown up and she really wanted to know more about the white grabed person. However, she was starting to feel scared.. and Kismet was standing right next to her. So.. she decided she would just listen to him. If he decided they were going to go down there, they would.. if he didn't.. they would go. She brushed her blonde hair out of her face.. the length of it very distracting in the breeze that was picking up.
The breeze however was starting to pick up. The white garbed girl was standing there silently over a now fully healed Fairy Princess, a near clone of Mercedes from Odin Sphere. Her body seemed to almost be... trembling. But was it from fear.. or rage? Suddenly.. Jade took a few steps forwards... towards Travis Touchdown. However, instead of doing anything to the man himself, he quickly turned around and pointed his own weapon at the man who was Atrum Unum and spoke. "I'm sorry. I told you to run, but oh dear.. you still stand here facing her. In the name of my precious lady, I will have to ask you to depart this very instant. Your presence here is unneeded for now, and her mercy is great.. but not too great. You have a few moments.. make them good." he said with a sigh, his voice sounding almost forced. What caused this sudden turn of events was shocking, but one might notice that the white cloaked woman was spinning one of her exposed fingers in a very perfect circle.
Then, Jade. Mercedes, and the white garbed woman were gone.. not even a flash of light or anything but a loud popping sound sounding their departure.
Finding her voice again, Angel spoke to Kismet. "I think we should go now.. nothing's stopping us. Sorry for the trouble.." she said, sounding a bit sad at the shame of making the silly decision to run down here before.

Kevin smiled. He actually smiled. He knew what was going on, he was sure of it, and he only hoped that he would be the first to speak.
"Guys!" he said, emanating a confidence that was only to put on a brave face for the others. "Something just happened here, well obviously, but Jade's change of mind must have been because of that woman. I'm sure of it. She's got to be bad somehow, but why she didn't bring us along if she really wanted us, I don't know.
Things are a little weird around here for now, and I really think that we should find out what's going on, but we need to know and trust each other first. So this is my proposal:
We all head out to the airship, and take off on that. I'm sure someone can figure out how to fly it, and it will help with our transportation. There we can talk to each other and our most valuable ally...Medli. Apparently "Our Lady", the woman in white, didn't know Medli was here at all, so she should have some answers. From there we'll figure out how to get back or what we'll do, but the more time we spend here, the worse I think we could become to the point where we may not be part of our old world or even exist.
Again, this is a lot to swallow, but we're all in the same situation here. We need to figure this out, and the only way to do it is together. So what do you say? We start here and now. I'm smashbro from the site, but here, call me Kevin."
He sighed after finishing his speech and felt pretty good about what was going to happen. Heck, I didn't know I could say that much important stuff cohesively on the first try.

Kune sat in the airship waiting anxiously as things outside ensued. It wasn't usually like her to be so patient or to be so helpless in these situations, but her adrenaline had worn off and the pain in her breast resumed it's throbbing ache.
After a few minutes it seemed like everything outside calmed, and Kune could hear no more wings beating or magic being thrown. Initially she took this to be a bad thing, the 'calm before the storm,' but eventually she calmed down as she realized that every fairy had disappeared into thin air. Disillusioned by the pain, she didn't question their sudden absence and decided it would be best for her and her friends if she got as much rest as possible in order to recover as quickly as possible.
Into sleep she went...

I looked up in disgust and contempt at the girl who whould dare to think she could command me.
"I dont know who you think you or your lady is, and I dont particuraly care. To me she is a false idol. I will not bow, I will not break and i will NOT run.
I do promise this, when this is over Ill drag your carcass back to your lady and then, Ill take care of her. FOR GOOD."
I lower myself closer to the ground and ready ,y sword above my head. I will not go out without a fight. If I am to fall today I refuse to do it running, I will stand my ground and I will fight to the last, and when the dust settles they will forever remember my name.

"Woah, woah, buddy," Kevin replied, stepping in front of Vae Victus. "Dude, that's overkill. We're all in the same situation here, nobody is killing each other. You don't have to follow our every word, but just don't hurt us, we won't hurt you, and I believe we all have the same aims. To get out of this world." He paused, expecting at least uneasiness, but then thinking that he may be one of the few who would want to leave.

I let myself at ease a little, this ones words were logical to my ears.
I had thought about that before, to be 'normal' again. Why would I possibly want to do that, I possessed the one thing I had craved all of my life, TRUE power.
With This new form I could do whatever I want, I could be a hero..... or a ruler. Why would I possibly want to be me again.
And the it hit me, like freezing cold water on the chest. As I breathed in I could smell it all around, blood.
I was Kain, a vampire. And as such I would now be subject to my own blood lust. I lower my sword in despair and I ask myself the fateful question, could I truly live with myself like this.
"Who are you people?"
