*I pause and look up grimly*
*I continue singing at a frantic pace and draw my shortsword with one hand*

*Thaddeus gently rubs Arya's back to sooth her while she sings as he stands guard*
Thaddeus: It's Ok. I'm here.

*Kara smiles and kisses Maiev*
K: Great idea. You definitely know what you're doing, but there's no surprise about that.

*LT reaches one of the corpses and starts digging in*

*I nod and continue singing*
*the mans wounds are nearly closed, but his eyes are completely gone*

*Cal gets up and goes to work only to find his workplace dark*
Cal: Danu... what happened?!
*He smells the blood and rushes in, activating his aura which glows brightly around him, lighting the way*


*Iris yawns and sits up, Horus is still asleep beside her*
*She smiles up at him, carefully gets up without waking him and goes to make him breakie*


*Gharn is still not liking flight*

*commissar stares at Vitani*

N...Nothing?

*Watches Cal from the vents, then drops down in front of him*
Too bright.
*Is as black as midnight, and might be recognizable as Blue*

~

*The angels reach the place, and set down the trio*
A: We are here. Are you all prepared?
*Thesiel looks less than pleased about having to have carried Gharn*
*They're at the blood lake, btw*

*Cal takes a few steps back, eyes going wide*
Cal: What in Brenn's name are you!?


*Gharn stares at the blood lake in revulsion as he transforms*
Gharn: What... what could have made this?

*Rita nods, and pulls back the slide on her Volt.*
Rita: Yes we are ready... let's go...
*Looks around.*
Rita: So? The lake a portal or something?

----

*Jake frowns, and starts heading towards the exit of the medbay.*

*Thaddeus looks at Arya*
Thaddeus: He's dead....

*Tilts head, then jumps at Cal with ferocity*
*Goes for the throat*

~

*Thesiel says nothing, as Asoriel nods*
A: A portal of sorts. I can open it, and it will take us directly to the realm of the demons. Be prepared for the worst.
*Walks to the lake, and starts the ritual*

~

*Maiev shrugs happily*
M: Eh, I like my drink.
*Sits down on the blanket, and pats it for Kara to come and join*
M: Hurry up! The sun's about to set!

*Miritas carefully holsters her maser pistol, yawns, and walks into the main room, busying herself by reading a novel on paper*

*Leo walks out of her room and glances at the medbay then heads for the kitchen*

*She rolls her shoulders and yawns*

*Cal flaps his wings once, proprelling him sharply backwards before using them as shields as he frantically makes a small cut on his arm and uses to the blood to draw a rune on his palm*



*Gharn growls*
Gharn: Demons, good.
*Smiles viciously*


*Horus yawns and wakes up then looks at Miritas*
Horus: Hello there Humani

Good morning... *Remembers quickly* Horus. It is a rare and honored occasion to speak to you. I haven't seen you much.

*Rita waits at the ready.*
Rita: Yes, Gharn.. but remember we are here to find Izriel..

---
*Jake hears the commotion between Cal, and "Blue"*
*Immediately starts making his way towards the fight.*

*Pries Cal's wings open with general ease, then grabs his hand that's drawing the rune*
*Tilts head again*
Scream for me.

~

*Thesiel shakes her head at Gharn's brashness*
T: Don't be so eager to charge towards your demise.
*Crosses arms and waits for Asoriel to finish*

*I hang my head in shame*
Avandra forgive me. I failed

*Gharn nods to Rita*
Gharn: I know, but any chance I get to kill a few Evil Demons I will take.
*He looks at Thesiel*
Gharn: I've killed Demons before Angel. Don't underestimate me


*Cal sends a wave of Aura power down his arm, acting like a electric shock against Blue*
Cal: Never
*He looks afraid, feeling he is probably about to die, but is determined to go out bravely*


*Horus nods and leans forwards*
Horus: I know you, you're the doctor my Iris has been talking to a lot...
*Slightly intimidating, and he has a unreadable expression on his face*


*Iris waves to Leo from where she's burning bacon badly*
Iris: Morning Leo!

*Kara sits down next to Maiev and kisses her again*
*leans against her and watches the sun set*

*Harador nods and follows after Thesiel*
Whatever comes will be taken care of.

*Rita sighs at the Thesiel and Gharn banter.*
*Looks determined, and watches Asoriel work.*

---

*Jake keeps running towards the fight, having some trouble sense it is pitch black.*

*Jolts from the shock, then throws Cal through a wall, conveniently the one that's the room beside Arya and Thaddeus*

~

*Maiev giggles, and watches Kara more than the sunset*

~

*Thesiel sighs, then her grip on her weapons tighten as the portal opens, which burns with intensity, and is horizontal*
A: I will go forth first. Come in after me.
*Jumps in*
*Thesiel and the angels also do so*

Rita: Lets go..
*Rita follows after the angels.*

----

*Jake turns the corner, and get's the brief image of seeing blue throw Cal through a wall.*
Jake: Blue?
*Can't tell, and doesn't take the risk. He fires six times at Blues center of mass.*

*Gharn hops in after the angels, drawing his blade as he does so*


*Cal is still glowing brightly with his aura, but is barely conscious after being thrown through a wall and his wings are pretty badly busted among other broken bones*

*I hear the crashing sound*
What the?!?
*I rush over to the other room and draw my short sword*

*Thaddeus sighs*
Thaddeus: Don't be hard on yourself.
*He lashes his whip toward the sound*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Vitani nods and looks empty*
Vitani: Help me..

*Leo looks over at Iris and frowns*

*She takes some meat and leaves the kitchen as fast as possible*

*Goes to follow in Cal, but get shot 6 times*
*Turns at Jake, squawks, then leaps at him*
*Bullet wounds barely bleed*

~

*Hell is basically how people would imagine Hell. Being red as feth, and looking very menacing*
T: Hurry it up.

*Kara kisses Maiev's cheek*
K: Almost as beautiful as you.
*giggles at the cheesiness and kisses Maiev properly*

*Harador heads through the portal and follows after the angels*
This is... different to what I am used to.

*Gharn looks around and shudders*
Gharn: Where do we begin?


*Cal groans weakly on the floor*
