-Jake reached to gently place his arm around Casi and said, “Sorry for all the people. This was quite the big deal.” He tried to make her comfortable. The trolls and some of the humans went for the food. Jake stayed right near her and peeked every now and again to Dirk and his ‘bro’.-

[Lord English]

-Roxy smiled at the help and said, “So, you are the one Dirk and Jake keep bragging about.” She seemed content despite some injury. Everyone was getting finalized healing and the only one the was required to rest was Dirk’s brother. Dirk looked over at them but focused on his bro once he knew Jake was okay. Roxy smiled to Casi and said, “I am Roxy, close friends with Dirk.”-

[Lord English]

-Dirk held both of their hands still and looked right at Jake, “What did I tell you….” “But Dirk,” Jake whimpered. “WHAT did I tell you…” Dirk repeated. “Never trust a red Cherub…” Jake muttered back. Dirk smiled at him and rubbed his hand with his thumb. Kanaya worked hardest with the human of Life to help Dirk’s bro, who’d taken the most damage of all of them. Roxy had taken some damage but nothing that was too rough. The one troll with Armane’s eyes and horns looked at Casi and said, “Hey, I know it’s not much but, could you wrap my eyes for a while?” They were bleeding yellow from behind their coverings. The rest seemed to be fairing well and better.-

[Lord English]

-Cassandra found the hacking rather difficult, she was growling and frustrated with it but continued to try. She then heard SR speak to her and she turned to him and said, “I will place a public announcement if it makes you feel better. Did someone throw something at you?!” She sounded even more angered and got a towel and moved, offering to clean it off of him. If he accepted, she’d sop up the soda. Either way, she’d place the towel down after and set up for making an announcement. She even waved SR over to her to be in the announcement if he so wished.-

[Lord English]

-The young troll responded before he would allow himself to think on it any longer:

<poweredShock started trolling doubleGuns>

PS: Sorry for not reSponding
PS: ran into Something important
PS: i want to know if i ever
PS: um
PS: nevermind
DG: Oh, don’t be afraid to ask!
DG: I won’t think of you any differently, I promise 🙂
PS: will fenrie be my mateSprit –

-Kanaya watched as the group poured into the living room and she yelled, “CASI! They’re back!” She saw that some were injured and helped tend to the wounded. She worked hard with the help of some of the others as those whose help was not required sat back and relaxed from being sore. Dirk knelt between his bro and Jake who he had laid on the floor next to one another and held both of their hands. If one could see past his shades, they would see the broken look on his face.-

[Lord English]

-Kanaya nodded and instead tried to get herself acquainted with the house.-

-The young troll had gotten busy so had closed his as well, he reopened and started a new chat:

<poweredShock started trolling doubleGuns>

PS: Sorry for not reSponding
PS: ran into Something important
PS: i want to know if i ever
PS: um
PS: nevermind

It was clear through his words he was shy to ask as he watched the one he was asking about pass by.-

—————————————————————————————————-

-The nubby horned trolls kept their clash in the cage, Kroman pinning the other troll as he managed out, “You not God Tier…” The other troll pushed back, nicking Kroman’s face to reveal the violet blood beneath. The troll pinned Kroman and said, “I don’t need to be God Tier to beat a fake fucker like you.”

Dremon kept bashing his back on the the wall, hearing honking in his ear each time he did so until the arms let go. Dirk and he bro rushed him and stabbed through Dremon’s sides, then twisted to get him to cough out a ton of purple blood at them. He smirked and said, “mother…. fuckin…. honk…. bitches…” He pulled his scythes up and towards them, Dirk spotting them but his bro pushing him down and taking them in his shoulders and holding them there as he said, “Dirk, stab him through me.” Dirk shook his head and instead got between his bro and Dremon and stabbing through his chest. Dremon felt intense pain and said, “You cant… kill a… motherfuckin clown…” Dirk glared through his shades at him and said, “Maybe, but I sure can try.”

The woman of light placed her arm back into place as Wencho said, “Sorry pretty lady, You know I have to. Orders are orders.” The woman of light said, “Oh I understand… and my light will kick your ass.” She fired again at Wencho and knocked him over, her leaping at him. He whipped at her from the air, making her foot get caught and him throwing her down to the side.

Fyrena smacked his cane against the one he was fighting’s cane and said, “You are very good, mind element?” The other troll slid her cane along his and he caught her can as she caught his. “Mind element,” She responded back and yanked away, only for her to end up with his cane and him to end up with hers. They went back to clashing and Fyrena said, “My name is Fyrena Pyrope.” The other troll hesitated and got hit on the head with the end of the cane then collected herself, “I am Terezi Pyrope.” Fyrena paused this time and spoke shocked, “Ancestor?”

Temahn fought the woman of life on nearly even ground. They crashed at each other and were seemingly at par until Temahn took out a special set of eight dice that she had procured.

John and Gemern clashed hard and John was distracted by Jake. Gemern smashed him down and looked at him, “You got no where to run, little man…” She felt a foot in the back of her head and was knocked out fast. John looked up to see the freed Jake and he had Jade in his arms. John turned to the grouping and said, “Full on retreat! I will get Roxy!” Jake hoped the others away and John whooshed to Roxy, catching her in his wind and whisking her away.-

[Lord English]

-Kanaya smiled to her and said, “Would you feel better if I stayed on the other side of the room? It’s okay if you do. I can see you can protect yourself so I would rather make you feel comfortable.” She moved herself to the opposite side of the room without an answer and knelt down in a sitting fashion. She smiled and said, “Also, if you like, I can remain silent.”-

————————————————————————————————–

-The two nubby horned trolls clashed as Kroman took out his own sickle. They bashed them into each other and seemed to stay out of the way of the other fights by pushing into an open cell. Dirk and his bro both took on Dremon, rushing him only for him to literally flip over them and whip his scythes back at them. The two blocked again in unison and tried to trap the scythes by knocking them down and stamping them into the ground. But the purple blood just yanked them back out again and as he took aim, a pair of hands went over his eyes and he heard a distinct honking behind himself. He still through the scythes to where he remembered the two being and slammed his back into the wall to get the one on his back off from behind him. Wencho stood up and let his makeup change form to a whip, him aiming right for John, only to have the woman of light let it wrap around her arm while she fired a light blast at him, knocking him in the chest but him tugging the whip hard on her arm and twisting it a way it shouldn’t go. Fyrena also was in the fight, him smacking cane to cane with a woman who bared the same horns and similar glasses as himself. Temahn got into a one on one fight with the female of life, squaring off rather fiercely. John placed his hand on Jake’s face and tapped it a few times, “Wakey wakey… Come on, I need your help to get you both out of here…” Jake’s eyes flashed open and said, “John!” John covered his mouth and whispered, “Believe you can phase through the bar. I know you can do it.” Jake concentrated and the bars began sliding through him slowly. “That’s it! See you can!” John encouraged him just to find another coming behind the one of life, using his wind to appear in front of Gemern and halted her with his hammer.-

[Lord English]

-The troll turned to her and said, “No need for alarm, I am a friend of your father’s. My name is Kanaya. I help your father and the other humans kill Cherubs. I was held back to watch you. They can handle themselves well.” She made sure to stay still and calm, this was not the first time she’d been in danger from a supposed allie.-

————————————————————————————————

-They finally found the cage, noticing the two moving but there was an obstacle in their way, Dremon had Kroman in front of them on a chain. Kroman was enraged and acting wild. The troll in the opposing group with similar horns to Kroman moved to the front and stared at him. Dremon released his end of the chain and Kroman lept at the other troll. The troll’s eyes narrowed and he drew a sickle from his modus and bared it ahead of him, causing Kroman to ram his face into the metal. The other troll pressed hard back against but with difficulty. Dremon drew his chain connected scythes and threw them to swing around Kroman at the troll he was fighting. Dirk and his bro took to the sides and blocked the scythes to protect their friend. The others began to rip open the cell. John faded to wind to push himself through the bars and try to start releasing them. More of the Cherub’s army gathered behind them so only one could work on the door. The others turned and had weapons at the ready to fight off the oncoming force.-

[Lord English]

-The young troll from a different time smiled and typed back:

“<poweredShock has begun trolling doubleGuns>

PS: hello
PS: Casi lady
PS: future moirail
PS: may i aSk QueStionS about the future
DG: You may, though I won’t reveal anything to big
DG: Or that might fuck your future up so ya.
PS: am i really Cute”

He blushed as he typed this.-

-Below in Casi’s living room, a troll was dropped off. She was a lovely woman troll with pale skin, her silently calling out, “Casi?! Your father asked me to come protect you!” She remained rather calm and saw the food over on the counter and promptly ignored it.-

——————————————————————————————–

-Termes and Roxy faced off evenly in Helmoj’s room as the rest of the group met up in the hallways, trolls and humans going together into the lower parts. Dirk whispered to one with nubby horns, “You came early.” The nubby horned troll smirked and said, “You sounded less like a fuckin drama queen this time so we came early.” They tried to navigate the maze underground just to have Armane stand in their way, alone. The group stopped and Dirk moved to the front, looked him over. Armane smirked and took one of Dirk’s side weapons and moved himself against the bars, pushing it through himself and making sure it got him stuck in the bars. Dirk whispered, “You’re going to need more than that.” Armane smiled at him and said, “I got it covered, go quickly.” Dirk smiled back to him and nodded, running deeper into the castle dungeons as Armane began to struggle and rough himself up in case others came by. One of the trolls in their group made eye contact with Armane, both of their red and blue eyes seeming to link up for only a second. The group moved quickly away and found ahead was Eriess and Antige, aiming at them with a sniper and a bow and arrow. Eriess had seen what Armane did and looked across them all. “You here to kill the cherub?” She asked them. John took the forefront and said, “Not this time, but we will return.” Eriess lowered her sniper and Antige lowered her bow and arrows. Eriess looked at them and said, “Any of you void?” John shook his head and said, “She’s fighting your group’s void user.” Eriess thought and said, “Space?” “Don’t know where she is,” He responded. Eriess looked them over and said, “You have a hammer…. Smash me into the wall.” John nodded and did as she asked until she seriously needed to regenerate. She smiled at them and coughed up violet blood. “Someone better rough up Antige… then get your asses out of here,” Eriess coughed out happily. Antige took some severe slicing and stabbing from Dirk’s ‘brother’. They then continued on their search for Jake.-

[Lord English]

-A young troll did attempt to contact her, him typing fast as she still had it closed:

“<poweredShock has begun trolling doubleGuns>
PS: hello
PS: Casi lady
PS: future moirail
PS: may i aSk QueStionS about the future”-

——————————————————————————————-

-The grouping met back up at Helmoj’s room, the light woman looking at them seriously, “There is more underground, Jade should have been back by now with him.” Dirk looked at the breath man and said, “Your group, your call, John.” John put a little thought and said, “Dirk, put the troll patrol on standby. Tell them if we don’t give notice in thirty minutes to come after us.” Dirk nodded and put the call in. Helmoj looked at them and said, “I can only stall my group for so long, you need to move and fast.” They heard footsteps in the hall and Dirk closed his cell. The door burst open as Termes was calling an alert and the void lady made them all invisible except Helmoj. Termes paused instead of alerting him and knew the feeling around him. “Oh… There’s a little voidling in here… Show your fucking self!” Helmoj stared at Termes and said, “I don’t feel anything.” Termes glared at him, “You know we’re more in tune to others of the same aspect.” The void woman revealed herself but not the others, “Alright, you caught me, but now what?” Termes glared right at her and said, “Aren’t you the cute little void user… I can tell you are still powered up… The fuck are you hiding or will I personally have to reveal it myself…” The woman dropped her power, the others already out of the room and she said, “I was just geared up. Two versus one? Seems easy enough.” Termes attacked at her while yelling at Helmoj, “She was hiding others! GO FIND THEM!” Helmoj had no choice but to run out and pretend to search, leaving the void human woman alone in a fight with Termes.-

[Lord English]

-The man smiled at her and faded into what seemed to be the wind. This left her alone in her house once more.-

————————————————————————————————

-The grouping appeared in Helmoj’s room. Helmoj greeted Dirk and said, “What they hell are you doing back here? I thought you gathered all the information you needed.” Dirk gave a harsh look behind his shades and said, “Your group… took… my Jake…” Helmoj didn’t understand what he meant and said, “I didn’t know that… You know not to get caught.” Dirk pushed him aside and opened the door, running out the door fast to search the place. The void lady went invisible and began searching as well. The one with ears began sniffing the air and trying to trace scents. The man of breath appeared and saw the group starting to search, he made himself into the wind within the building, trying to not get into the way of the one sniffing. The one of light stayed put and tried to reveal their path within her mind. The life one tried to sneak out and around. The final human, took off and kept a sword out at the ready, it changing from a rusty old blade to a sharp full one. They searched everywhere but the one with the ears was stopped at a wall. The one of light ran to her aide to reveal a hidden button in the wall. The one with ears ran down as the one of light went to go gather the others. The eared lady sniffed deeper and deeper into the castle and found Termes as he was walking back to his room. The eared lady growled at him as he drew his scythe. “Fucking humans… get the fuck out,” Termes shouted at her. “Not happening until Jake is free,” The eared lady yelled back at him. Termes smirked and they both used their abilities to fight one another, her harming him with space, him fixing himself with void and harming her, just for her to fix herself again. They were going back and forth until he took her lungs out. She gasped and had them replaced to look up and see him coming down with his scythe. She yelped like a helpless dog as he pierced through her back but happened to miss everything. She growled and pushed herself up and they went at it hand to hand as she bled. He got a tooth sent flying from her fist. He then retorted with a fierce kick to her gut. She went down and he drug her by her hair to the cell he just locked, piercing her legs and arms and pinning her up. She coughed as the hits on her were heroic but the god creature in her was letting her survive. She peeked over and gave a weak smile to Jake and whispered as Termes walked away and locked them in, “The others are coming…” Jake smiled and had a hopeful look, “good… They will make it to us…”-

[Lord English]

-Dirk looked at them and said, “You will notice one of us is missing. He went to see the Cherub we were scouting to talk to it. You think he’d know better by now. This here is our daughter Casi.” The one who hugged him smirked and said, “Hello niece.” “No time for pleasantries bro,” Dirk said then continued, “He’s been missing for about a day, I will take you guys there. Just know, if we are seen… We are screwed.” He disappeared first and then the others followed one by one. But the man wearing the breath outfit paused and said, “I am sorry this happened. We will all be back soon with Jake in hand.” He waited to hear her speak.-

[Lord English]

-Dirk took out a multi-time and galactic cell phone that was modified for all his team. He called a number and said, “Bro… gather everyone… We have a search and rescue mission. Meet me at my phone’s co-ordinates.” He got a murmur of confirmation through the phone and clicked it shut. Swiftly enough, six other people appeared in her living room. One had shades on and immediately went to Dirk with a firm bro hug. Another wore an outfit of light and had a wand in her hand. Another had a cute mask and had the symbol of void on her. Another had the symbol of life on her and her gaze was serious. There was a male of breath before her and next to him a girl with dog ears and a space outfit, seemingly a hole with a scar in it from a previous death. They all looked at Dirk first then to Casi. Most of them smiled at her.-

[Lord English]

-Dirk paused while eating and dropped his fork. “He went…” He sounded really hurt. “Why? Why’d he go back there?!” He looked at her and continued, “Did he say what he was going to do?” He was severely worried and the wood of the table seemed to splinter under his fingers.-

—————————————————————————————–

-Termes and Temahn forced Jake to stand by the pole through his arms and took him deep into the castle, putting him in a dungeon. They forced his arms over his head and hung him there by his elbows. Termes grabbed another pole and pressed it against Jake’s leg, making him yell out. Temahn cringed and said, “I can’t take it…” “Then get the fuck out of here,” Termes snapped at her “Orders are orders…” Temahn placed her hand on Jake’s face and whispered, “I am sorry…” She dropped her hand and ran out of the dungeon. Termes forced the pole through Jake’s leg and then the other, capping the ends then forcing his legs apart. He made him hang there and nailed the bottom pole into the wall. Jake gasped in pain and grit his teeth. Termes glared at him and said, “This is what you get for being a threat…” Termes turned to walk away and Jake managed out, “I am not a threat…” Termes stopped and turned back to him. “I wasn’t… going to hurt him…” Jake managed past the pain, “But now… Dirk and the others will come and kick your asses…” Termes snarled and ran at him, punching Jake in the gut hard enough to cough blood, but he was healing quick. Termes then turned and walked out, slamming the gate of the cell shut and locking him in.-

[Lord English]

-Dirk smiled and said, “Yeah I did. I just hope Jake gets back. Otherwise I made his for nothing and the food will be wasted.” He had a tinge of concern in his voice. He played with his eggs a bit with a fork and smiled a fake smile.-

————————————————————————————————————

-Jake had been lurking around in the castle, finding Carolus’s room and keeping himself hidden with Hope power. Soon enough, the green beast noticed him and said, “I know you are there, come out of hiding.” Jake uncloaked himself and him and Carolus met eyes. Jake said, “You know who I am and why Dirk was here before.”
Carolus spread his wings and said, “Yes, Jake English… And to kill me, right?” Jake nodded and spoke to him, “I am not here to do that. My daughter said you were a pleasant chap so I came simply to observe you.” Carolus smirked and said, “Is that really the reason?” The doors shut behind Jake, windows slamming shut all with a stroke of the Cherubs massive wingspan. “Yes sir!” Jake said, preparing for battle with Carolus seeming to gear up to attack. Carolus gave him a smirk and said, “I believe you…” Jake was stunned as Termes and Temahn gripped his arms and pierced a pole through them. He yelled in pain as the two capped off the ends so he couldn’t remove it. They forced him down and Carolus smirked cunningly as he said, “You forgot to kneel…”-
