6 Months for 1 hour of Chaos

[Deleted]

The First Challenge, FEAR

Edmund: *stands outside of the runes, studying them*

Lyn: -standing there looking up at the ruins-

Josh: *looks around and then back to the runes* language master... yea sure sparky... *to himself*

Felicity: *looks at the two of them* They're just pagan ruins. They haven't moved for years and staring at them won't do anything.

Ethan: Cool... can you imagine really old people built this stuff?

Lyn: "They're big...."

Edmund: *half rolls eyes at Josh/Ethan's comment and starts walking towards them*

Felicity: You're small...

Ethan: In a good way of course, Lyn. Come on, let's go. Don't want to let Eddikins beat us there

Josh: they are monolites... we all are small... *he said and then smiles at Ethan* yeah!! Exciting!

Lyn: "They're bigger than you too!!"

Felicity: *rolls eyes* Whatever. *follows behind Edmund*

Ethan: Guys guys guys let's not start fighting before we actually have to fight.

Edmund: *just keeps walking until he's face to face with the entrance* [Ethan] (dryly) Never my intention

Lyn: -looks down and nods- "Sorry..."

Ethan: Not your fault, Lyn. Now come on, we have a relic to find.

Josh: don't worry Lyn. *looking around at some runes*

Edmund: *scowls, glares at the entrance, and decides now looks like a good time as any to step into a world of chaos, enters*

Ethan: *notices Ed* And off he goes. Come on guys! *with a hop in his step, sets off after Ed*

Felicity: *looks at the entrance, falters slightly before following*

Josh: *looks at everyone and smirks* ok... why not... *looks at Lyn* come on, don't stay back alone* then he hopped in*

Lyn: -walks with everyone, or tries with her little legs, trotts forward faster- "I am!!"

Edmund: *looks back slightly, hearing everyone follow him in and walks in deeper, eyes trying to adjust to the darker place, wrinkles nose slightly at the smell*
Definitely needs spring cleaning.

Ethan:*steps inside too* Ew, it smells something horrible in here. Josh, did you fart or something? *laughs and looks behind him for Josh... but he's alone.* What...?

Felicity: *stops and looks behind at Josh and Lyn catching up, groans* C'mon, you're gonna end up delaying us even more.

Josh: calm down Felicity, we're right behind you. *he said walking and looking in his sack a lamp, finally he found it* ok... so... Light! *he turned it on, but batteries were low*

Lyn: -walks in behind Ed looking for him, feeling along a wall- "Ed? Ethan?" -looks behind her and see's nothing- "F...felicity?....JOSH?! HEY!! HEY!!" -starts to run back and hits a wall- "H..huh?"

Edmund: *gets darker and darker... so reaches into one of cinny's compartments and takes out his flashlight* You had a light too Rogers, use it! *turns around after a second of no response* ..... Rogers...?

Ethan: Oh you have got to be kidding me... *there was no sign of the entrance either. He reached out a hand and eventually found a wall.* Ew, it's damp! Gross! *He shook the mud off his fingers and lightly let the tips of his fingers to the wall and started walking* Hello? Helloooo?

Felicity: *starts walking, realizing she can no longer see anyone or hear their footsteps.* You have got to be kidding me. Guys? *looking around at darkness. Tries to summon some hellfire to see but it's hard to do and only a small amount appears, which shows her a branch hanging on the wall. Takes branch and uses her sword to cut the bottom of her shirt and wraps the fabric around the Stick, using the little bit of hellfire to light it* Well, at least now I can see... *continues walking*

Josh: *looks around with the flashlight and realizes he is completely alone* great... leave the thief all by himself... *he breathes deeply and tries to teleport first to where Lyn is, but he only moved in the same room* ok... *then to where Ethan is, maybe the Mercury bond... but nothing, he remained in the same room* this is bad... *started walking trying to find the exit when he saw a shadow, someone was there looking at him.* Hello!!... Lyn? Edmund?... *by the size, it was a kid for sure*

Lyn: -sets her bag down and digs reaches in her side pocket pulling out a large black metal flashlight. the kind that can double as a weapon. tries to turn it on, but it doesn't. opens the back up to take out the paper, and can finally turn it on the light blinding her a moment- "Ed?" -shines the light around- "j...Josh?" -stands up with her bag again and starts to wander- "Ethan?" -still can't find anyone, as her eyes feel like they burn slightly- "Please? Anyone?"

Edmund: Lyn?! Felicity? *continues wandering* Come on. Gods darn it... HUNTER. ROGERS. *echos back to him, exhales and just continues onward, having no idea where he's going. tries to tell cinny to light up telepathically, but nothing happens* Cinny...? *looks at him and blinks, trying again... and nothing happens, but starts to get a slight headache; looks ahead with the flashlight and sees a shadowy figure of a girl around Lyn's height* Lyn....? *moves forward and taps her on the shoulder, a burn mark of a hand appears and the shadow suddenly turns around; edmund almost drops the flashlight* Meg....

Ethan:*hears noises up ahead, weird noises* Oh good, company... I think. *approaches cautiously. There was also a bit of light, flickering like fire, just around the corner. As he gt nearer, it got hotter.* Hello? *he turned the corner* Oh shiz...

Felicity: *walking along, not bothering to call out , just listening for footsteps that might signify someone was near her. Suddenly she hears some, but can't tell if in front or behind her, continues walking then realizes the sound is coming from behind her. Turns around and see the glint of a sword from the fire.* Who's there...*eyes go wide as the figure is able to be made out in the firelight.* Remus? What are you...? *sees Remus hand go to unsheath his gladius*

Josh: *keeps walking to where the kid is, the kid walks away from him* Stop! I won't harm you! *he said and gets to a room with fire on the walls, but the ground is Ice and the temperature just dropped, he looked back and there was no corridor there, he was in a frozen room with hell fire on the walls, he looked around* no... no... I can't be asleep! *he said and then he heard a voice*

Kid: Josh... Josh... where were you...

Josh: *looked back and saw his brother Rick, he was all injured, covered in blood, his body covered in awful gashes. * Rick?...

Lyn: -starts to trot, calling out peoples names, her voice getting a bit more shrill and panicked as she goes- "Ed?! Josh? ED, ed...." -starts to run, as the path starts getting smaller and smaller. Until it's bearly bigger than her. No matter if she tries to turn back of not.- "Dad?" -starts tearing up- "Daddy! I wanna go home, I wanna go home!" -curls up against the wall- rocking back and forth-

Edmund: *reaches out to touch her face, but then sharply withdraws as a burn mark appears on both his hand and her face; he winces* M-Meg...?

Meg: *gives him his own blank stare*

Edmund: *bites his tongue and trying to ignore his hand burn* Come on... don't... don't look at me like that.

Meg: I HATE YOU. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT

Edmund: *opens mouth and then shuts it, shuts his eyes and his good hand slightly curls into a first* You're not real... YOU'RE NOT REAL!! You're d-dead, damn it... *opens his eyes...and is surrounded by fire*

Ethan: *The room was huge. And there were pockets of fire everywhere. But in between the infernos were so many people. People fighting. Just like at orthys. People he knew. He drew his gladius just in case and ventured around the edge of the battle* No... no way... *Then he saw someone struck through the heart in the middle of the battlefield. Jason* NOOOOO!!!

Felicity: *keeping an eye on Remus as he fully unsheaths his sword and aims it at her* Remus, what are you doing? * takes a step back.*

Remus: You're a traitor of Rome. Your penalty is death. *starts to walk towards Felicity and swings at her.*

Felicity: *frozen for a second before jumping out of the way, only getting cut on her cheek slightly.* NO! Remember. I changed! I'm not with Saturn anymore!

Remus: You're a liar and a traitor. Always lying. You only used me to get Rome's secrets. It's the only explanation as to why someone could like anyone with the likes of you. *still full on attack to Felicity.*

Felicity: *still not understanding what is going on and takes a moment for her to evade him fast enough, resulting in cuts along her arms and face* Remus...that's not true. It's not true!! This can't be real. It's not real. Just stop!!

Josh: Rick... *but he couldnt say much, the kid looked at him and tilted his head. He looked like josh at the same age.*

Kid: you abandoned us... And he attacked us... He... *he vomited blood*

Josh: no! Rick. *but when he tried to reach him he couldnt. Gold chains held him back* no!! Rick!!

*another figure showed up, the female's figure of a young woman with black curly hair*

Edmund: MEG! *looks around the room of fire and feels a slight panic attack coming on, shuts his eyes again* G-Go away... just... go... *and gets a flash of the dream that he had before his house fire* AH! *eyes flash open again, there's more fire now and it's closing in, he feels someone gripping onto his wrist, looks down, but only sees a vague, shadowy outline of a person that keeps morphing, even though the place is alight with fire*

Voice: Ed... (turns into Meg's) I-I'm scared.

Edmund: Come on you have to move... *tries again and she won't, the fire gets closer* Meg COME ON, MOVE! *fire comes dangerously close to him, burning the sides of his ankles; hears a crack and groan from above him and full out panics. Pushes whatever is attached to him off and dives off to the side. Hears a crash behind him and he gets thrown to the ground, when he looks back up, the fire is gone and there's a big debris pile, takes a shaky breath* (quietly) No... s-stop... Y-You're not real... *moves towards it anyway and starts shifting through it* Meg! MEG. *finally feels a hand and pulls a figure out: Felicity*

Lyn: -hugs her bag tightly, still curled up. Stays there for a little while before wiping her eyes and shining the light around again.- "I'm alone. I...I need to get back." -sniffles and keeps a hold of her bag, this time in front of her, slowly walking forward down the hall until she had to crawl. The space getting smaller and smaller until she poked her head out into an open room, some lit torches on the walls- "I have to go, I have to. I'll see people, I will" -trying to remember how she got through the time of being alone between the Wold House and Camp Jupiter-

Ethan:*runs as best he can to get to get to Jason as he falls to the ground, gladius through his chest.* No no no NO! *slips on a patch of slick earth and falls. Notices what he slipped on...blood. And whose it was... Lilith.* no... no way... *looks around and notices he's surrounded by everyone he ever cared about... dead*

Felicity: *runs from the attacking Remus, turns down a corridor and see the back of Josh.* Josh? Thank Gods you're here. It's Remus, he's attacking, he still believe I'm with Saturn- *notices Josh pointing a sword at Felicity too and about to swing at her. Rolls out of the way into a crevice and sees Edmund* Ed? *Edmund turns and charges at Felicity with a sword that cuts her side as she escaped back into the hall, now full of people blocking both end and Ed blocking the entrance to the crevice. All of them with sword points at her, closing in.*

Remus: Death to the traitorous spawn of Pluto. *lunges towards Felicity with everyone else.*

Felicity: *stuck in the center and curls into a ball* No. This isn't real. This isn't really. *flinches as Remus makes the order and hears the swords coming toward her.*

Josh: *he looks at Rick dying on thw ground, the female getting closer grabbed by the neck by a demon.* leace her alone!!

Demon: *laughing loudly* remember her?! Do you want her? *he struck a blade on her back through her body to her chest.*

Josh: GODS!!! No!!! Rhia!!! *his wrists opened and scratched by tthe chains.*

Lyn: -wanders through the halls, and see's the familiar uniform, and hears a familiar voice. Smiles, running. Remus sounded angry, Josh? Ed? What was everyone doing? There was Felicity in the center, as they moved. Here eyess widdened, and her heart stopped in her chest. Before ever her mind became contious of what she was doing, she threw herself over Felicity, hugging her tightly- "No, no, no, no, no, no!!! She's good! She's good!"

Edmund: *is thoroughly and genuinely confused, blinks* F-Felicity....? *cautiously goes to check to a pulse... and gets nothing* FELICITY DAMN IT. You idiot... *shuts eyes and half swallows* Stop it... It's not real it's not real... *slowly opens eyes again and the body is now Lyn's*

Ethan:*runs from the room* No, this can't be happening! This isn't real! They're all okay! THEY'RE ALL OKAY!! *tears streaming from his eyes*

Felicity: *instead of swords, feels a body over her and hears the familiar voice* Lyn? You're ...protecting me? *some of the people start shimmering away*

Josh: *he tried to reach Rhia as she died on the ice*

Demon: why you try? You know they are dead... Look around you! All of them died because of you! Their blood is in your hands! No matter what you do traitor... They ended up dying!

Josh: *looks around and notices the body not only of Rick and Rhia, but felicity's, Ethan's, Remus', Lyn's even Edmund's were there. Then he looked at his hands and they were covered in blood and he was holding the blades that killed them* no... This is just another nightmare...

Demon: really? *grabs a gladius and walks towards him to stab his heart*

Lyn: -shivering a bit but keeps where she is, and nods slightly.- "I know you're not mean, Remus knows, and Josh knows, and Ed knows!"

Edmund: *yeah, no pulse on Lyn either, stares through their bodies before shifting more of the debris out of the way and getting plenty of splinters but not particularly caring; after a few moments, pulls out Ethan and Josh; the debris pile crackles and lights itself on fire; he jumps backwards and trips over Meg's body*

Ethan:*runs until his legs hurt, turning corners at a whim. Finally he just sits down, leaning against the wall, and cries*

Felicity: So... It's not real? Lyn! Tell me this isn't real. *moves out of her curled up position but stops as the pain from the major wound inflicted by Edmund brings on tremendous pain. Looks at where the Ed is and sees a devilish smirk on his face. * It's not real.... Ed doesn't do emotions. *grits teeth* but it feels real....it hurts.

Josh: *looks directly at the demon* you just killed all who I cared... I dont care anymore... Just do it... Kill me, because if you dont kill me... I'll kill you!

Demon: *smirks and turns into a figure of Rhia* would you really kill me?? Would you betray me again just as you did when you broke the oath and my heart with it?

Josh: *swallows and kneels* just finish with this... Please...

Lyn: "It's not real" -says more from being told than because she didn't believe it. She wasn't quite sure, but as she looked around she really couldn't believe thier expressions- "Oh! No, I can bandage it. And you can use me to lean on, like a little cane!" -pulls some white bandages and peroxide from her bag, whish she had thrown on the floor when she was covering felicity-

Edmund: *half sits up and looks at the bodies of the quest members+Meg* (quietly) It's not real *shuts eyes again* Go away... *rubs temples slightly and shakes head; doesn't realize he's crying until he presses his fingers together at the bridge of his nose like he's trying to relieve a headache* Go away.... please... *half bites lower lip and cracks eyes open...just to see the bodies start dissolving into ash*

Ethan:*finally gets up and rubs at his eyes, picking up the backpack he'd left on the ground near where he sat. It was so dark here. Why did it have to be so dark? As if this place wasn't bad enough.* Wait... ah come on, are you kidding me. Jason would be laughing his head off at me right now if he saw me. *the thought of Jason laughing made him feel a little better* Yup, I'm an idiot. *he pretended he was talking to his brother* You're right, of course. But I maintain that you told me to pack it so it wasn't my own thought so I forgot it. There, see, case closed... No, because I don't have as good a memory as you do.... *he chuckled* Aw come on, give me a break. Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it. *he dug in his bag until he found what he was looking for and produced a pocket flashlight with a grin. hitting the button, the dark fled from the little light*

Felicity: *looks around, realizing they werent real, the people simmered from existence. Face grows stern* I'm fine Lyn. *goes to stand but it still hurts* Stupid place... *grits teeth* How'd you find me anyways? Did you run away from your nightmares or are you apart of mine?

Demon/rhia: *laughs and cuts his chains* come on son of Mercury! Dont tell me you quit? You stupid piece of meat! You will die right now, Saturn my real and only friend will rise and all those you ever cared about will burn in He-...

Josh: *she couldnt finish because Josh grabbed the blade he had in his hand and stabbed her right in the heart* I love you and hell, i will die and burn for this... But i wont let the titan get to those who i care... And that includes you... *tears running down his cheeks, slowly everything start vanishing and he fell again on his knees... Crying for the one he killed with his own hands.*

Lyn: "I...I didn't have nightmares. There was no one....anywhere. So I came to find people. I heard people so I ran here."

Edmund: *sits there with no energy, forget will power and just watches them crumble into ashes and disappear; starts feeling physically sick*

Ethan:*wanders, finally not talking to "Jason" anymore, but looking around at the weird place. He heard voices up ahead and stopped short. Was it another trap? He was a little nervous to check. But he ventured forward, holding his gladius' hilt at his side as he did so, the flashlight in the other hand* Hello?

Felicity: *nods* Well, thanks, Lyn. *hears footsteps and tells Lyn to shush as she tries to stand up, holding her side as she looks at the flashlight beam coming towards them and then sees Ethan coming, with his hand on his gladius.* No... You were suppose to go away when the rest did... *backs away slowly, stumbles and falls backwards, landing on her butt, gritting at the pain from her wound and now sore tail bone* Lyn, stay back... I don't know if that's the real Ethan or not, it could be dangerous.

Josh: *after some minutes he managed to stop crying. He breathed deeply and got up. He started walking till he found someone on the ground* Edmund? *he asked when he flashed his light to the teen*

Lyn: -wants to hold Felicity's hand and stay there, but doesn't. Puts her hand on her braclet, waiting- "Ethan!" -smiles, but it quickly goes away when Felicity says to be careful. Goes to help Felicity up- "But...it might be ther real one. The others went away right?"

Edmund: *thinks Josh is an illusion* (deadish) No need to tell me, I know.

Ethan: *hurries to then* No, it is me, I swear! *holds up his hands innocently thought realizes this means the light is on the ceiling, so he puts them back down* And boy am I glad to find you two.

Felicity: *trying to keep a calm composure around Lyn but is still on edge from what just happened and doesn't trust Ethan. Pushes hand on the cut on her side, hoping the pain would help ensure reality.* Maybe.. *Ethan still there, maybe can be trusted. Removes her hand from her side, covered in her blood* Lyn, do you still have those bandages? I think ilk use them now... *looks at Ethan* let me guess, you're happy to see us because you had some fearful experience also, right?

Josh: *frowns and looks at him* and... What do you know that supposedly I was going to tell you, Edmund? Come on, get up! We need to find the rest of the team. *looking at edmund*

Lyn: -smiles and trots over to give Ethan a hug- "Felicity was hurt by people that weren't people!" -looks at Felicity and trots back to where her bag is taking the peroxide and bandages out again- "I can help..."

Edmund: *still living in his fire destroyed everything illusion, almost fully buying into it, hand and ankle still burnt* Don't make me say it... *looks at him* Don't be stupid... you know what happened. You're not real.

Ethan:*hugs Lyn with a big smile and looks to Felicity* Yeah, how did you know? Don't tell me you both did too? Also, what happened that got you hurt? You're not hurt too, are you, Lyn?

Felicity: Thanks Lyn, for the help. *just looks at Ethan* Edmund sliced my side. Remus got my face in some areas. *not gonna give the whole story because just no*

Josh: *glares at him* edmund... Really... This hasn't been a good day... *looks at him* you're still there... *sighs* what happened Edmund? What you don't want to say?

Lyn: "No! It was the fake people!" -dabs some peroxide on a clean cloth to clean up Felicity's injury's, specifically the one on her side she was going to help bandage-

Edmund: *shuts eyes* (to himself) You're not here... I don't have to tell you anything. You already know... *takes a breath to try and cement himself back together; opens his eyes, and of course Josh is still there.... eyes go from dead to glaring albeit not as angry as usual since they're all red and such from crying* You're still here.

Ethan: Whoa whoa wait. People attacked you? Like not real people? And you still got hurt? Well if that isn't a bit creepy. *looks around out of habit to make sure they're alone* So any clue where the others are?

Felicity: *locks jaw as the peroxide is added to her wounds. Looks at Ethan* My guess is that both of them are crying their eyes out and losing any shed of masculinity they have.

Josh: *looking at edmund and wating to slap at him or punch at him, but if he was in a hell like his, then he wouldn't believe anything he said or did. When he finally looked at him again he smirked in his earnest way, no poker faces.* and where do you think i would go?

Lyn: -lifts Felicity's shirt a little so she can wrap her side- "They can escape! Josh is a son of Mercury! He steals my sandwiches without being seen, so maybe Josh can not be seen by his nightmare? And Ed's Ed! He'll be fine! We just move forward and can see them! Just move forward...."

Edmund: *blinks again and then exhales... and Josh is STILL there* A- *clears throat slightly and swallows* Away... *studies his face and tries steeling himself again, slowly gets up*

Ethan: Crying their eyes out and losing their masculinity... yeah... ahem. *looks to Lyn instead* Yeah, you're right, kiddo. I bet they're doing just fine.

Felicity: *watches Lyn as she wraps her side* Yeah, just keep moving forward. Best plan so far.

Josh: *shakes his head* i'm not going away, move Edmund. We need to find the others.

Lyn: -finishes bandaging Felicity and tucks the end away, smiling up at the two of them as she settles the shirt back over the wound- "Yes!" -picks up her bag and settles everything into place- "We go?" -she smiled, her flashlight in hand again.-
Today

Edmund: *is almost in a trance like state* (mutters) I can see that *blinks again* Stop it... there are no others. *starts walking away from him*

Ethan: Yup, off we go! *shoulders his bag and looks around with his flashlight* Well, I just came from that way, and I can tell you there's nothing good that way. Where did you both come from?

Felicity: *nods in the direction Ethan shined his light* I came from that way too. *stands up after thanking Lyn* I don't remember running into you though.

Josh: *looks at him and grabs him by the collar of his shirt* listen to me... I just saw how my beloved ones and the whole team including yourself skinned alive, burnt in hell fire and tortured... And have to kill a very important person to me... So i'm not in the mood to babysit, so move Simons! We need to find the others!

Lyn: "I came from there and it was tiny and the hall keep shifting and it wasn't fun! Because I was walking forward, then I tried going back and the things were different!!" -trots forward-

Trial by FIRE

Edmund: *actually flinches when Josh goes to grab him, but then relaxes. over the next few seconds there's a mixed look of disgust, annoyance, anger, and something almost looking like relief* (calmly, back to his flat self) Fine. *aims a punch at Josh's shoulder with his good hand*

Ethan: Kept changing? *looks to Felicity and shrugs before following Lyn* Changing how?

Felicity: *shrugs, looking down the halls* I guess we'll find out. But, I'm worried about us all getting split apart again... We have to stick together. Maybe if we had thread to tie to each of us or... *sighs* we all hold onto each other. *annoyed at the thought*

Josh: *looked the changes in Ed's face and smiled at him. then laughed when he punched at his shoulder* ok, that's the spirit I wanted to see... come on... we need to move, so I came from that point, I think we should go opposite to the place we came from.

Lyn: -smiles and nods- "We can! I have rope we can hold on to." -takes out a small roll of sturdy rope and tries to tie little handles in it-

Edmund: *half rolls eyes, turning around and starting to walk off in the direction Josh suggested*

Ethan: Good idea, Felicity. Need some help there, Lyn? *offers a hand to take the rope*

Felicity: yeah, thanks. *watches Lyn take forever with the rope and rolls eyes when Ethan offers to help*

Josh: *breaths deeply and walks aiming the dim light in front of them.* you don't have some extra batteries, right? *he asked looking at Edmund and then back to the front. the tunnel seemed to be wide, but the walls had some strached and seemed to be of beasts.* we'll need to light*

Lyn: -was using her hand to measure out the rope needed for the second knot and smiled up at Ethan- "Sure!" -started on the second hand hold-

Edmund: *shines his own flash light into the darkness* Oh.... great. *rolls eyes, looking at Josh* What am I? Circuit City? *stares at Cinny, telling him to open, but again it won't work and his head starts aching* (quietly) Open. *one of Cinny's draws pops out and Ed takes out an extra battery and holds it out to Josh*

Ethan: Here, Felicity, could you hold this? *offers his flashlight to Felicity and takes the rope, helping out with the next knot* See, working together we'll get it done faster.

Felicity: *grudgingly holds flashlight *

Josh: *rolls his eyes* well you're out high tech man in the team, or not? *he looked at Ed and then frowns* thanx... but didn't you ordered cinny stuff with you mind in all a master jedi style? *changing the batteries*

Lyn: -nods and finishes up her knot- "Who's gonna get the center one?"

Edmund: *glares at him* Bring your own backups next time. *goes back to shining his light into the tunnel, then turns to Josh, momentarily scrunching his eyebrows together, very slight confusion/frustration showing* Yeah... but... *stares at Cinny again for a few moments and starts getting the beginnings of a headache again* It won't work... *scowls*

Ethan: How about you do the last one. You're really good at knots there, Lyn. I'll keep the rope up for you. *keeps holding the rope, though glances up when he thinks he hears something... but it was gone. Hmm, okay, nevermind*

Felicity: *looks at the work* When we're walking Lyn should be in the middle. Ethan and I can take the ends in case of an attack we have you shielded Lyn. Not that you aren't capable, but Ethan and I have more real world fighting experience. *means Othrys*

Josh: then it is general I think... *sighs* I tried to teleport to find any of you... nothing I only poof from a spot and popped back a foot away from that spot. *looks at Edmund, then they heard as if metal was scratching rocks behind them* What was that?

Lyn: "Okay." -works on the last knot as Felicity talks- "No shortest to talkest?" -nods a bit- "'Okay..." -pauses in tying to look up and round.- "Did you hear a thing?"

Edmund: Stupid runes... going in here for the freaking relic... *takes a few steps forward and then stops, automatically turning around* Not sure... *takes out his dagger, but grimaces slightly since he's holding his dagger in his burnt hand*

Ethan: Good idea, Felicity. Here. *takes the flashlight back* I'll go first? *looks to Lyn* Yeah, you heard it too?

Felicity: *grabs the rear knot and unsheaths her sword, looking around* Shut up you two and just walk. No point staying put.

Josh: yeah... those runes were even more ancient than the ones in Rhia's books... so... not good. *he said and holds his gold dagger and looks around.* keep moving Ed... let's not be an easy snack. *keeps walking but being aware of his surroundings. The sounds seemed to be closer to them*

Lyn: -slips her hand into the little loop she had mad and holds onto the rope, nods staying quiet as Felicity had said. She had enough room to take out her scimitar if she needed it, but she kind of wanted her bow-

Edmund: *scoffs* Ya think? *continues moving along, switching his dagger/flashlight hand so he has the dagger in his hand that's not burned; ADHD goes into overdrive trying to focus on every sound and visible sight so they (hopefully) won't be taken off guard*

Ethan: *takes his hold on the rope and walks with his flashlight* Oh hey, there it is again? Did you hear that? Right there. It's getting closer. *by the time he was done talking, he was whispering*

Felicity: *not talking, just concentrating, grits her teeth when Ethan starts talking again*

Josh: *they heard a horrible grunt behind them and then in front of them it moved really fast and wasn't good* ready for a close encunter Edmund?

Lyn: -for once isn't the one talking, shines her light around, and up at the cieling. She always hated ceilings-

Edmund: *turns head sharply at the grunt behind them, eyes try to track whatever it is* (mutters) Been ready

Ethan: *falls silent for a change and just listens. He would swear he heard something... He looked around with his flashlight*

Felicity: *hears a scrapping sound behind her, turns and sees something move in the shadows of Ethans light* Guy, get ready. We have company.

Josh: good... because here they come! *several creatures like weird dogs ran against them from behind and forward.*

Lyn: -takes the braclet off her wrist, turning it into a scimitar- "Ready."

Edmund: *lets take a moment and acknowledge that fighting while holding a flashlight with a burned palm is difficult.... okay moment over. goes back to back with josh and throws his dagger at it's throat*

Ethan: Oh good... *pulls out his gladius* Ready here too... Though maybe we should ditch the rope for now? Side of the wall?

Felicity: *nods and let's go of the rope and sees the creature come closer, it looked like a giant armored lizard (wow... My creativity sucks, let's add fire!) As the lizard caught scent of them it breathed fire in their direction* Roll out of the way! *rolls to the walls side*

Josh: *moves throws a dagger against one of them and then grabbed other and threw it against other* I count other 4 over here and you? *grabbing other dagger from his boot*

Lyn: -takes the rope and rolls it around her arm as she tumbles away when felicity says so. Looks up at the creature and cant help but think it's cute and want to take it home. Possibly wonder if it would help Ed in the forge-

Edmund: *unhooks the Hello Kitty chain and turns it into a sword, allowing two of them to come closer to him before taking both of them out* Not counting. *shines his light for any sudden movement*

Ethan: *drops the rope and scans the corridor around them in case there are more... shadows move* Uh... guys.

Felicity: What is it? *yells as she charges the first lizard, trying to keep its attention, as she tries to get to its eyes without becoming roasted in hopes of blinding it*

Josh: come on Edmund! not counting? *he said bothering him but moved in an athletic way, maybe not as fast as before, but enough to cut the throat of a couple with his dagger before feeling a gash on his left thigh. he cursed in latin and ancient celtic, then killed the one who bite him, but the damage was done, he would be slower now with an injured leg.* mine are dead... need help over there?

Lyn: -finishes looping the rope around her arm, and tucking it away so no one will trip over it. Mostly so she won't trip over it, and looks at the lizard. The shadows caught her attention, and her eyes shifted to look at them. She tried to keep things in the corner of her eyes at least partially in her attention. Her light stayed on the one Felicity was fighting though. She set her light down and took up her unusual sword stance. It wasn't long before she ran at a creature, fire spewing from it's mouth, she rolled over her roped up arm them up and under she thrust her sword forward into it's armor. The clank could be heard-

Edmund: *ignores him and doesn't answer; moves forward a few steps, registering pain in his right ankle from the burn now that the shock's worn off; swipes at another one that's coming at him, but the blow isn't fatal enough. turns sideways as one lunges and is able to slice it through the stomach, but one attaches to his already bad arm. stumbles sideways and whacks it, hard on the cavern wall and then decapitates it* No. *lifts left arm with difficulty to shine his light around more to make sure they're all gone*

Ethan: Just another one, that's all. *tries to teleport but ends up just behind the lizard and very sick* No, don't puke, no, don't puke! *the lizard notices him and turns* No no no! *swings his gladius haphazardly and gets the satisfying squeal of an unexpected hit*

Felicity: *was able to puncture her lizard in the eye and smirks as it howls in blinded pain. Uses the opportunity to stab her sword in its head, moving off of it as it goes limp* Lyn, Ethan, either of you need help?

Josh: good... *because he wouldn't be that fast again, not in a while. he ripped his shirt and used the clothe to make a tourniquet around his wound, then looked at Edmund.* do you still have nectar? you'll need it for those burnts and wound. *he had some if Ed ran out of it, he would give him his.*

Lyn: -moves off to the side as the lizard swipes a weapon at her, slashes aiming at his unprotected arm- "No!"

Edmund: Yes. You need it? *continues looking around/listening for any more monsters*

Ethan: Help Lyn, Felicity! *Ed was right, fighting with a flashlight was hard. Tries for another jab but gets burned in the process*

Felicity: *nods and goes over to Lyn ready to help her out*

Josh: *shakes his head* no... just in case you needed some. *he said and then drank some sips of his nectar, just enough to walk properly* come on... if they were here, we must be close.

Lyn: -tries to get at the creatures throat with her scimitar, but she's short and easily blocked. Again it breaths fire at her, and she rolls away. This time a bit of the rope catches fire-

Edmund: *eyeroll* I'm fine. (quietly) Open. *takes out some nectar and, like josh drinks a little, just enough for the discomfort to stop so he can walk/lift arm properly*

Ethan: Ow ow ow ow! *keeps attacking and there is more screeching*

Felicity: *notices the rope slowly being engulfed by flames* Lyn. The rope! *runs over and tackles Lyn to the ground* roll!! Now!! Leave the lizard to me.

Josh: *continues walking with Edmund by his side, who would tell him that he would end up working with the little ermit?!* how is your arm?

Lyn: -screams as the flames quickly began to engulf the rope. She tried to push it off, burning her other hand in the processes. Crying. She couldn't think or hear Felicity. She was tackled to the ground and tried using the dirt of the floor to put it out, rolling her arms around in it-

Edmund: *shines the light ahead of them and continues walking with Josh* Fine. *shines the beam up to try and find the ceiling while still walking* Your leg?

Ethan: *hears the screaming* LYN! *finally the lizard thing dies after many shear luck hits*

Felicity: *fighting off the last lizard* Go check on her Ethan!!

Josh: *nods at Ed and then looks at his leg then back at Ed* I'll live... so I can't complain. *then they saw a dim light ahead, as if it was an exit* hey... look.

Lyn: -dirt all over her and her arm, the burnt smell of rope. She was crying softly as she tried pulling the rope off but squeaked in pain, the rope burnt slightly to her skin. Her eyes and arm were red, looking up at Ethan- "I...I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm okay"

Edmund: *nods curtly then quints at the lighting suspiciously* Don't put too much weight on it

Ethan: *kneels beside Lyn and brushes a strand of hair from her face* You're right, you're going to be okay. Here, let me find... *digs in his bag* Aha. *produces some ambrosia squares and gives her one* Eat this.

Felicity: *kills off the lizard as she impaled it through the head, runs over to Ethan and Lyn and let's Ethan do his thing and help Lyn*

Josh: *looks down and takes off the tourniquette that thanks to the nectar wasn't necessary anymore.* ok, doc... No marathons for this leg in a while, but the same goes to your arm and leg. *he then.continued walking towards the light, it wasnt moving, didnt seem to be a threat, but very little seemed those days, yet everything could be.* what do you think the light is?

Lyn:-takes the square and nibbles on it before eating it all more normally. Looks up at Felicity when she comes over, and quickly looks down again. She left the burnt rope where it was and picked up her scimitar- "Okay, let's go again." -moving her arm at all made it sting, and it was constantly itchy.-

Edmund: *just continues walking, still eyeing the light cynically* Dunno... wouldn't trust it though *tries to determine if it's powered by electricity or if there are any traps around and starts getting headachy again* Stupid place...

Ethan: Alright, so off we go again on another grand adventure! This time hopefully a little less dangerous. *though that was doubtful* Oh, Felicity, you need one of these? *offers the ambrosia, taking one for himself. Thank goodness Jason helped him pack the medical part*

Felicity: No. *keeps walking*

Josh: i second that! *he said walking and getting closer* sword ready... *but in there was a room with a tall wall, golden one like a vault with two locks.* wow!

Lyn:"Yes! Less dangerous! More finding people!" -smiles, but flinches when her arm brushes her side. Keeps walking-

Edmund: *as he's walking, also keeps his sword out; looks up and around suspiciously. when he sees the locks, his mind automatically starts to try to calculate how to break them and such but oh happy headaches*

Ethan: *Felicity* Whoa there, Jadis. Hey, Jadis... That's it! You two are like Jadis and Lucy. At the moment at least, no offense there Felicity, you're just kind of snappy you know? But once we get out of here you'll be fine I'm sure. Guess that makes me... Reepicheep! Yes! *walks on beaming away shining his flashlight forward. Was it getting lighter?*

Felicity: *turns and glares at Ethan* Kinda snappy? You don't think it'd have anything to do with all the stress I'm under would it Ethan? I have Saturn to deal after this and still have the gods on my case, oh and the people at camp still probably want my head on a stake. So yeah, I'm kinda snappy. Get over it.

Josh: mother of all the locks in the nightmarish dream of a thief!! *smiles at the locks* ok... *but as much as he thought about it... It was coming slow to him and a fast headache* ok... Didnt get one like this in... A while.

Lyn:-looks up at them a moment before starting at the ground. This was her fault. They were arguing and mad and annoyed because of her. Felicity didn't even want her to be there and she couldn't help like everyone else could-

Ethan: *stops short, a little shocked* Oh... I'm sorry. I really am. Felicity, I didn't mean it. And I'll help you however I can...

Felicity: Yeah, whatever. *turns and continues walking * Quit moping Lyn and c'mon. I think i see a light ahead.

Josh: *listens to some voices* ed... Someone is coming... *holds his dagger tightly waiting*

Lyn:-walking-

[Deleted]

Sweet DREAMS are made of these

Edmund: *is still looking around the room and stubbornly trying to think of how to do this lock and still getting a headache, but also starts feeling dually queasy like his techonokesis is trying to tell him something but can't; at Josh's words, turns around with his sword ready*

Ethan: *walks in silence, but puts a hand on Lyn's shoulder reassuringly*

Felicity: *listening for any sounds and thought she heard something continues walking towards the light and does something stupid* Edmund! Josh! If either of you are close by say something, or if you're Ed throw a rock or something.

Josh: *listens to felicity's voice and looks at ed.* well... She really knows you, want me to find you a rock? *smiles and yells back* we're in here... Hurry! I think we found it!

Lyn:-perks up at the sound of Josh's voice and runs forward, the traps and monster not deterring the hyper little ten year old in the slightest, the pain in her arm on the other hand was another story. The ambrosia had worked a bit of it's magic on her wound, but it was still red and swollen.-

Edmund: *half smirks as he hears Felicity's voice, walks back into the tunnel a little and throws a rock low and not that hard so it just makes noise by bouncing and rolling, and won't hurt anyone* There's your rock, Weingarten. Now supercalifrag- *Lyn rushes at them and Edmund drops the flashlight and automatically goes to grabs at one of her shoulders to stop her* Wait... for the others

Ethan: Whoa there, Lyn! *worried for her, looks to Felicity and keeps following her instead*

Felicity: *smirks at the rock and follows the direction Lyn went* Shes going to trip something with the way she runs ahead. *says as she passes Lyn*

Josh: *smiles at them* Lyn don't run! *he said only fearing she could get injured. then looked at Felicity and Ethan and smiled at both of them* good neither of you got eaten lately. are you three ok?

Lyn:"Ow." -flinches a bit when ed grabs her shoulder, the burn a little tender up there as well. Only like a sunburn though.- "Ed! Ed! you're here!" -smiles up at him wanting to hug him close- "I'm fine!"

Edmund: *withdraws hand as sharply as if he's been hit away as soon as she flinches and looks at her arm, face slightly slipping up* I... I'm sorry.... *and he's back* That I am *looks at the other three of them for their answer to Josh*

Ethan: *beams at the others* We're doing fine, thanks! Met some nasties, but should be good to go now. So, where have you two been?

Felicity: *doesn't answer Josh, just watches then all have happy reunion time as she leans against the wall*

Josh: we decided to take a shortcut. *he said and looked back to Ed and Lyn* ok... *goes to check Lyn's arm. and without noticing he steps onto a small trap on the ground* did you get enough ambrosia for this, Lyn? *he smiled at her tenderly as if she was a little sister.

**The walls close the tunnels, and a think white gas filled the room in a very fast way.**

*josh looked around* don't breath! everyone to the ground and cover your nose and mouth! *he looked at Lyn worried about her*

Lyn:"Shortcut? No nightmares?" -she asked, thinking it may have only been Felicity and Ethan that had them. Something clicked and Lyn looked around, rock shifted, her flshlight came across nothing but stone everywhere and then the smoke started pouring in. Tugging her jacket up and around her nose she dropped to the ground, normally she's use her left arm, and did so without thinking. The tender flesh hurt and she gave a small cry falling to her side instead of landing correctly-

Edmund: *looks at Felicity, raising his eyebrows slightly; and then as soon as Josh steps on the trap and sets it off, it clicks (audiotoirally and metaphorically), and his now pounding headache makes sense* Wait! Rog- *the room starts pouring in gas, and he gets down, covering his own nose and mouth*

Ethan: *gasps, which was probably a bad idea, but pulls his shirt over his mouth and nose and drops to the ground as well* What the...? *all thought seems to fade though as his vision starts to blur*

Felicity: *drops to the ground suddenly, flinching as she lands on her bad side, letting out a soft yell of pain before holding her breath again but her vision was getting blurry and the longer she held her breath the more her wound hurt, she wasn't going to hold on to her breath much longer*

Josh: *drops on the ground and tries to look around for the others, Lyn and Edmund were close to him, but now... he couldn't find them, he was blind in that moment, and finally he had to breath again. the gas got into his lungs and a moment after that he couldn't move at all, nothing was moving, everything went black...*

-*opens his eyes and he is on his bed in his barrack, he looks around and nothing seemed to be wrong, he felt as if everything had been a bad dream. He got up and he saw the calendar on his wall. it was marked a very special date...* No way... it is not possible... is it?...-

Lyn:-had let her breath out when she fell on her arm, but rolls to be on her stomach and looks around, everyone else on the floor but white smoke fills her vision. Tanks to a bit of training like trying to grab her doll from the bottom of the pool, lyn can hold her breath for a bit as she tries to crawl closer to ed who was infront of her. The fog making her eyes water and a sharp rock scratching her arm making her breath in a big lung full of smoke, and she falls to the side asleep

Her eyes open a bit looking around. There was a warm glow outside, through the flaps of her tent. The sun was rising. Jumping up and running outside she could see her family preparing for the day, her dad scooping her up and giving her a raspberry as he normally did-

Edmund: *had just stopped breathing, hadn't taken a deep breath or anything, so it isn't long before he's starting to see spots infront of his eyes. turns his face to the side to try to see the others, but can't see anything, and is finally forced to take a breath in and ends up gasping air and gas. tries to mentally prepares himself for feelings of getting tortured or getting burned from the inside out... but instead... detaches and floats away....*

Meg: Ed come on. Get UP! *hits him over the head with a pillow* Sleepy head! You boys are so LAZY!"

Edmund: *haphazardly throws the pillow back at her, no where close* Come on, Meg, fifteen more minutes. *pops head up, teasing* At least I don't spend fifteen minutes on make up

Meg: At least I don't look like a hedgehog in the mornings.

Alexis: COME ON YOU TWO YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THE BUS
Wednesday

Ethan: *He was alone again. But not in the maze. He looked around him at...New Rome. It was a gorgeous day. A voice called out his name and he turned to see Jason and Lilith waving at him from just a little way down the street. Grinning ear to ear, he ran to them, throwing his arms around both in a group bear hug*

Jason: Well, it isn't my favorite brother!

Lilith: *laughing* No, he's my favorite person period!

Ethan: Aw man, I love you guys! Both of guys! Don't ask me to take sides because I know better than that. *The three of them laughed together*

Jason: So, Ethan. Now that you're here I figured we could all hit the road.

Ethan: What did the road do to us?

Lilith: No, silly, he means Disneyworld!

Jason: Sure, we got reservations for a week at one of the resorts there.

Ethan: Are you kidding me!?

Lilith: Of course not. I mean, least they can do for one of their own, you know? Don't tell me you've forgot your new part already!

Ethan: My new what?

Jason: Your part in the next movie. Voice of the lead character, duh.

Ethan: Oh... of course. *grinning ear to ear* Well then, let's go!

Felicity: *loses consciousness as the gas seeps into her lungs*

---

Felicity: *jabbed awake by an elbow into her arm, wakes up on a plane with her teammate and best friend beside her*

Girl: C'mon Felicity!! You've slept the entire flight from Seoul. We're landing, put your seatbelt on. Being the most famous striker in the national U-21 league doesn't make you invincible.

Felicity: *rolls eyes as she buckles the seatbelt* Yeah yeah, you're just jealous that I broke the tie breaker of the last game.

Girl: Suuure that's it. Trust me Felicity, if there's one thing I'm jealous of its your boyfriend. Is he picking you up at the airport?

Felicity: *nods* Yeah, him and my family. Were going to dinner I think. Honestly, I could go for more sleep. *yawns* Wake me up again once the wheel touch down. *laughs*

Josh: *looks at the calendar and then looks around, for somereason it was... normal, yes!! it had only been a nightmare what he had seen*

Rick: *walks in and pokes his arm* come on Josh!! Mom is waiting for us in the restaurant in New Rome!

Josh: hey!! *he smiled at his brother* I just overslept... I think.

Rick: if you weren't on the other side of the country with RHia, then you would have been ready today! *smirking* run! she's waiting for us outside!

Rhia: Sneaky thief, if you don't hurry I'll come in there and make you hurry! *she said in a playful tone, which made josh smile widely*

Josh: I'll be ready in a minute... well in 3! *he said and then changed his clothes really fast. It was great to know that his life wasn't a mess, that his mother was alive and that his brother and girlfriend were fine!*

Lyn:-laughs and squirms in his arms until she's released, going out running fully into the circle of family.- "I had a dream! A dream!" -she yelled and hug them tighlty- "I was gone, and missed you. Missed you sooooo much!" -she ran around hugging everyone just as hard as she could, ending up at her dad's side again- "I wanna go ride the horses! and I'm big enough to shoot from horse back right? I wonder if Ed would...." -her thinking paused, and her brows frulled- "Ed?..."

Meg: Told you, Spike *picks up the pillow and throws it at his head again before running down stairs*

Edmund: Yeah, yeah, right... *gets dressed for school and goes downstairs*

Alexis: Morning Ed. *eating pancakes*

Meg: *hoards the pancakes*

Edmund: *passes by her chair and pulls some off her plate before eating them*

Meg: .... You're welcome.

Alexis: Alright. Out you two.

Edmund:/Meg: *walk over to the bus stop and are joined by Felicity/Charlie*

Ethan: So then, we joining hands and singing kumbya and poofing out of here?

Jason: Nah, sparing you the nausea. Got first class airline tickets.

Lilith: On a private jet too, don't forget that.

Ethan: Hahaha! Yes! This is going to be epic guys. Well come on, we got a yellow brick road to follow! *grabs their hands and runs. The other two join in. After a few minutes, stops in the field of mars* Wait, where are we running?

Jason: I was kind of wondering that myself. We do need your help to get to the airport. Maybe not running though.

Lilith: No, how about we skip the running? *kisses his cheek*

Ethan: Aye-aye! *hugs them both again and the group disappears*

Felicity: *is now exiting the plane and waiting in baggage claim talking to her teammates when all of a sudden two kids come up behind her and tacklehugs her* James! Abi! Get off of me!! *laughs as they 5 year old twins let go and run over to Felicitys mom and step dad. Felicity walks over and hugs them both*

Stepdad: I heard about that goal in Seoul. You have another line up of recruiters begging to have you play for them in the fall. I'm proud of you.

Mom: As am I. *sighs* My beautiful baby girl, a young soccer star.

Felicity: Mom stop, I'm seventeen and traveling the world. *laughs and hears the signal of the bags approaching* One moment. *goes over to get her bag, sees it and goes to grab it but someone else does, looks up and smiles wide* Remus!! *hugs him tightly*

Josh: *walked with Rick and Rhia to New Rome*

Rick: ...you must have seen it josh!! I beat the guys in my cohort with what you and dad showed me! it was great!! *smiling*

Josh: *smiles* Well, son of Mercury, why you wouldn't beat them in a speed race!

Rhia: *holding hands with Josh* you're creating a monster Josh! the fourth cohort is fearing to have another sneak thief! *but laughs*

**it was so cool to see her laughing, something that Josh already felt like real. Terminus let them pass and they walked to the restaurant**

Lyn:"There was someone named Ed in my dream dad, I...."

Lyn's Dad: -smiles- "Edmund? Our resident little crafter?"

Lyn:"YEAH YEAH!" -she smiled widely, she wanted to see and hug him too. Her dad took her to the crafters area, and there was Ed. Sitting and talking, even laughing with Felicity. "Felicity you're supposed to be helping with stuff!"

Felicity: "I'm helping." - rolls eyes holds up part of what Ed's working on-

Lyn's dad: -laughs- "Well we all need breaks sometimes Lyn"

Edmund: *delayed from taking her pancakes* Thank you.

Meg: ......... you're welcome. *laughs*

Charlie: Stole her food again, Simons?

Edmund: She was hoarding it!

Felicity: *smirks* Right.

Edmund: .... I can never win, can I? *laughs*

Ethan: *the group arrived just outside the San Francisco International Airport in a hidden area where their appearance wouldn't be spotted. He let go of the others only to take their hands and pull them along* Wait, do we have tickets?

Lilith: Right here! *pulls them out of her pocket*

Ethan: Wait, we didn't pack...

Jason: It was shipped yesterday. Remember?

Ethan: Right, right. Sorry. So, time for some Disney magic! *leads the way into the airport*

Remus: *hugs her back before taking her suitcase and game bag, carrying then for her as he talked about how proud he was of her and happy she was home*

Felicity: Yeah, yeah. You guys say the same thing after every trip. But what I want to know is... *smirks* Can I drive home?

Stepdad: *laughs* Nice try Felix. Besides, we don't have room in the car and Remus wanted to take you out.

Felicity: *face goes red*Oh , so ill be going with Remus then and daaaaaad, I told you not to call me Felix... I'm not a kid anymore.

Josh: *opened the door for Rhia and Rick, then he walked into the restaurant and looks around and there she was, sitting at the table, maybe a few years older, but still beautiful*

Rick: Mom!! finally we got him off bed!

Rhia: good morning Mrs. Rogers.

Josh's mom: you know he is a heavy sleeper when he is tired. *at Rick* good morning Rhia, I'm so glad you could come too! how are your parents? did you get letter from them?

RHia: Yes, thank you. they are well.

Josh: Happy birthday mom! *he hugged his mother and then kissed her cheek*

Josh's mom: thank you Josh... I love the present you left at home, it was beautiful, I only hope you didn't steal it.

Josh: *laughes* no mom... that one I bought it.

Rick: *snorts rolling his eyes in a playful way*

Lyn:-settles down next to Ed and nuzzles his shoulder as he pats her head-

Ed: "Hey lyn, what's up with you this morning?"

Lyn:"I had a dream, you were there, but most everyone else wasn't!"

[Felicity: "Oh gee, thanks."

Lyn:"No no you too Felicity"

Felicity: -smiles and ruffles her hair- "I'm just messing with you, come on. I bet you were so excited you forgot to eat again."

Lyn:-looks up at her a moment, them a big goofy smile stretches across her face- "Yep!"

-they all get up dragging Ed from his work to go get some food. Eating together around the low fire used to cook.-

Meg/Felicity/Charlie: No.

Edmund: That's what I thought. *bus rolls up, he rolls his eyes and bows mockingly* Ladies first

Meg: *eyeroll* Dork. *gets on, followed by Felicity, Charlie, and then Ed, and they get transported to school; bus also has kids from the Legion: Tessa, Josh, Ethan, Chris, Clare, Jason, Remus, Rhia, .... that's all ellie can think up right now....*

Ethan: *They bypass baggage of course and go straight through security and before he knows it, they're on the plane, Ethan sitting in between the two best people in his little world.* Oh my goooods this is going to be amazing!

Jason: I think you already said that. *chuckles*

Ethan: Well, I'm going to be saying it a lot so prepare yourself. I wanna meet Walt Disney.

Lilith: Actually, that can be arranged.

Ethan: No waaaay! Oh guys guys look at this! A minifridge with YooHoos! Score!

Jason: *mutters to Lilith* Like he needs the sugar.

Lilith *laughs* Don't drink them all at once, Ethan!

Felicity: *helps Remus put her bags in his car before taking the passenger seat while Remus drove*

Remus: I'm serious though. Your soccer skills are amazing. You have a real talent there.

Felicity: *soft laugh* Stop. I can only handle so many compliments in a day. Besides, I'm only good at soccer meanwhile your leading the track team to state and you won MVP for football last season.

Remus: *smirks* I remember. Then I freaked the entire school out by deciding to date you then some preppy showgirl cheerleader.

Felicity: *rolls eyes with a smike* So, where are you taking me for this outing?

Remus: The beach. The schools having a bit of a party. Figured you'd enjoy seeing everyone again. Although, I don't know if your charity project will be there.

Felicity: Hes not a charity project. Ed and I have been friends since forever. You know that. He's probably just preparing for the robotics team season coming up.

Josh: **Josh was eating his double breakfast so as Rick, all of them were laughing at how Josh almost chocked with a berry. Rhia talked to his mother and she talked to them, she was the instructor in the arena, and Mars from time to time visited her, being his daughter.**

Lyn:-look into the fire, and a slight pain throbbed in her arm. Looking at it she saw rope and a jacket in tattered burnt pieces. Yelling just a bit she tried to throw it off of her. Soon the white fog covered it again though, and it was perfectly normal again. Fine and as her arm should be. No one else seemed to react to her scream though, going on talking and being happy until they noticed she wasn't saying anything. The Lyndis Sinclair, not talking. Gunnar dropped an apple in her lap and sat down eating his own-

Gunnar: "A bit perfect isn't it?"

Lyn:-smiles widely and nods- "Yep! I have Ed and my dad and Felciity and you, and...Remus, is he out?" -looks around as the very man she mentioned came up behind Felicity to hug her-

Gunnar: "Convenient people only show up when you mention them. When you think about them. How's your arm?"

*they all arrive at school, Felicity walks off with Remus, Charlie with someone named Mason (but he looks an awful lot like Mors...), Ethan with Lilith, etc... all the proper pairs mill around on their way to classes*

Meg: *smirks, watching all the pairs* You can't wait till that's me, right? *watches a few guys pass and tucks her hair behind her ear*

Edmund: *half rolls eyes* When you're 20....

Meg: *laughs* I'll be legal then. Can't tell me what to do *marches off towards her first class*


Ethan: *jokes with Lilith* Aw, you're no fun. Who doesn't like a sugar high?

Jason: Your health?

Ethan: Touche. My body's used to it though.

Lilith *laughs* I don't doubt it. Just one though.

Ethan: Alright, alright, fine. *opens one up and guzzles it* Oh man, I forgot how good these things are!


Felicity: *at the beach, playing some beach soccer with a group of friends before walking over and going into a hug with Remus* Lets get out of her.

Remus: *laughs* And go where?

Felicity: *smiles* Anywhere. I've missed you. I just want to be with you, not everyone from school. I'll see them Monday.

Remus: Okay then. Your chariot awaits. *walks her to the car*


Josh's mom: this is perfect, my two sons being happy. Josh found a perfect wpman to be his partner in life and Rick Is the youngest centurion in history! I couldnt be more proud of my children.

Josh: *smiled at her and kissed Rhia's hand who blished and smiled at him.*

Mercury: can't believe you started without me! *walking close to josh's mother and kissing her* happy birthday Sasha.

Josh: *smiled happy that finally his father could be more with his mother.*


Lyn: -pauses looking at him a moment and then at her arm touching it lightly before pressing it slightly- "Fine?"

Gunnar: "You don't sound sure."

Lyn: -looks up at him, then around at everyone all happy and talking.- "It was just part of a dream."

Felicity: "Gods Lyn, your so naive it's annoying."

Lyn: "No! No..." -looks at her arm again-

Gunnar: "Gut instincts are normally right."

Lyn: "Is everyone in trouble?"

Gunnar: "Where did your dream end?"

Lyn: -squeezes her arm- "Trouble....."

Gunnar: "Then you have an answer."



*goes through normal highschool classes and then ends up meeting Felicity, Ethan, Josh, and (olderversion) Lyn out on the green for lunch*

Felicity: So you're all coming to the match, right? Edmund: *laughs* (teasing) Now, why on earth would I do that? Felicity: To support me and the soccer team. Maybe you can make us a neon light sign or something. Edmund: *smiles* Right. I'll just whip up a gigantic LED board during my free. No biggie. Got that in the bag and I'll go get my autograph book ready. Ethan: OH! Will this help?! *takes out a twisted screwdriver* Josh: Probably, but maybe... put that down....? Edmund: *grins slightly and takes the screw driver back*



Ethan: *after a fun-filled flight, they arrive at Disneyworld and a limo picks them up.* Oh man, guys, this is going to be too much fun! *gets inside the limo and the limo drives off with the three of them*

Lilith: Where should we go first? You pick, Ethan.

Ethan: Can we do the find a map and blindly point at it? I can't chose just one thing!

Jason: Fair enough. Always taking the most scientific route, there, Ethan.

Ethan *grins* That's me.


Felicity: *at school, in class, writing a note, crumpled it up and tosses to the desk next to her*

Edmund: *gets note, smirks, writes something back and tosses it back*

*bell rings*

Felicity: *gets up and walks over to Eds desk* So, what do you say?

Edmund: I said no. Didn't you read the note?

Felicity: I ignored the note. *smirks* C'mon, you won't even miss an important class. Plus its the opening day. Come on, please?

Edmund: *rolls his eyes, smirking slightly* Fine. I'll go to the amusement park. Who else is going?

Felicity: No one. You're my partner in crime, remember?


**After that day where they celebrated his mother's birthday. RHia and Josh went to New rome to spend some time together**

Josh: So, the end of our service is getting closer, what should we do then? *he smiled at her holding her hand while they were walking*

Rhia: I don't know... I just want to leave this place, you know... for a colder place.

Josh: then maybe... finland, Alaska, Siberia... I'm just thinking on the best colder place. *smiling at her*

**While they were walking Josh saw that Felicity was eating some pasta with Remus, something romantic. Charlie was walking with a very tall blond man, for some reason he gave the chills to Josh, Ethan was eating an Ice cream with that girl, McKinnon. Edmund was out of the forge, and he was behaving like a human being! well almost, he was chatting with a mysterious girl, good for him. Lyn was playing with other kids, Lance and Nova were with her. The camp and New Rome were in peace and people seemed to be happy, Even the gods were down there enjoying the presence of their children.**


Lyn: -closes her eyes and tries concentrating to wake herself up, her face scrunching up. She opened her eyes looking around, she was still in her camp. Though all of the people she considered family where where around the fire. She frowned and tried again, and again.- "Gunnar I can't! I can't do it!"

Gunnar: "Just wait, and be ready."

Lyn: "What do you-" -her arm throbbed in pain again, the world slightly opening up in a haze around her burnt arm. Her other hand now lay beside it instead of on top. Moving it, though some how much harder and heavier than normal, she squeezed the burns-

Edmund: You still going to go over, Lyn?

OlderLyn: *smiles* Yes! If that's fine with you!

Edmund: *laughs* Absolutely. Just don't toilet paper my bedroom like last time *grins* Besides, I won't even be home. I'll be with Felicity, blinding the opposing team. *smirks*

Ethan: *The trio gets to DisneyWorld and to the hotel where there stuff is already waiting for them* Whoa, you've got to be kidding me! *looking around the hotel room, which is Lion King themed* This is so awesome!

Lilith: Aw, I always loved this movie.

Jason: Who doesn't? Pumba and Timon rock!

Ethan: *laughs* Hakuna Matata. What a wonderful phrase.

Jason: Hakuna matata! Ain't no passing craze!

*the three of them break into song and laughter*

Felicity: *out in the parking lot digging through her bookbag* Relax. Theres still three minutes of passing period. We're not going to get caught I just need to find the... FOUND THEM! *pulls out the car keys and unlocks the doors to Remus car*

Edmund: Did he seriously let you borrow his car just so you can ditch school and hang out with me?

Felicity: *laughs* What do you think?

Edmund: *smirks* You are a bad example Weingarten. How'd you even get the keys then?

Felicity: I know a guy who could make a great thief. *opens driver side door* now c'mon! We have 4 class periods to just do whatever.

Edmund: If he finds out and attempts to beat me up I will sue you. *teasing but gets in the car*

Felicity: *smirks* Oh shut up, you know you're having fun. *starts the car and pulls out the parking lot*

Josh: what if we leave camp together? you know as in... together? *he asked at Rhia and rhia blushed like a tomato*

Rhia: y-yes?... *she said blushing even more*

Josh: *smiled widely, everything would be perfect! He leaned and kissed her, she blushed*

Rhia: Josh!... not in front of everyone... *blushes even more but smiles and holds his hand*

*Then as the say says, the time passed flying, suddenly he was with Rhia in a beautiful house, outside everything white, for sure in a house he had in Alaska.*

Rhia: *pregnant* josh! remember our friends will come for Saturnalia!

Josh: Saturnalia... *it was weird to say that name* sure Rhia!... everything is ready.

Lyn: cries and screams as the little blisters that had formed and been healing thanks to the ambrosia popped and bled. Tears cleared the smoke from her eyes, though she was back in reality she could hardly see. It was blurry, and she just wanted to curl up and go back to the dream world. Everyone was happy there. She started hiccuping through her cries. It took her a little while to actually move. Ed and josh being the closest she kicked out at them as hard as she could, not really being able to stop and figure out who she was kicking or how hard, she couldn't think very well at the moment-

Lyn: Can I help? *smiles*

Edmund: *laughs* Normally I'd say yes, but don't you guys have class?

Felicity: Oh, come on Simons, live a little *smirks* Edmund: *grins* Fine, but you're sharing your detention snack with me if we get-- *in the real world, Lyn kicks at Ed's burned ankle, smashing it against a wall. forget the ambrosia he had. his eyes snap open and he grimaces, stars bursting infront of his eyes. tries to pick himself up to look around, but feels utterly zapped of energy. {{wait. where am i...? shoot.... take me back...}} coughs and stays down, trying to see where everyone is* G-Guys...?


Ethan: *The three of them set off for the theme park, laughing and joking all the way. Finally the Disney castle came into view* Oh man. Guys, guys, look at that! I want to meet Mickey! This is going to be great!

Lilith: You do know Mickey isn't actually real right...?

Jason *smirks* Shh, you'll ruin it for him.

Ethan: Hey hey hey. I know, I know. But let me be a seven year old for a day?


Felicity: *driving, pretty recklessly*

Edmund: And you wonder why you keep failing your driving tests. *smirks*

Felicity: They just can't handle my style is all. *slams on the breaks as they reach their destination, jumps out of the car* Ta-duh! Were here, and in less the time as normal. *starts inspecting the car for scratches*

Edmund: Gee, I wonder why. Not like you were going 90mph in a 50 zone. *watches her* You that worried?

Felicity: A bit.

Edmund: If you want I can scratch the paint for you.

Felicity: *looks at him* Do it and I'll punch you.

Edmund: I'll punch you first.

Felicity: Not if you can't catch me. *smirks*

Edmund: I'll catch you.

Felicity: That a promise, or a threat?*smiles*

Edmund: *smirks* Both.

**lyn, kicks josh in his recent wound and makes him frown**

Rhia: come, we need to check.... *not audible*

Josh: *looks at her* what did you ssay? *but rhia started to get blury and her words were not audible any more.* rhia... Rhia! *he yelled but when he opened his eyes he pronounced her name again.* Rhia...?

Lyn: -hears Ed and Josh's voices and stops what she was doing to simply curl around her arm and cry.-

Edmund: *hears Josh and half rolls eyes* not... Not here, Rogers. *eyes start to water from pain (both types) and bites his tongue, hard to stop himself from making noise; puts his hand over his nose and mouth again, but then realizes that the gas isn't affecting him any more, even though he wants it to... Looks around, hearing Lyn's crying* Lyn? *tries to turn himself around without letting on how much pain he's in; pin points where she is based on where she kicked him, and semi crawls to where she is* Lyn... *cautiously reaches out to touch her back! just to make sure she's real*

Ethan: *The three of them set off on a mission, whether they like it or not, to find Mickey Mouse. Eventually they find him and Ethan spends a solid five minutes chattering away to the oversized mouse.*

Lilith: *aside to Jason* I kind of feel bad for the guy in the suit.

Jason *chuckles* Eh, I'm sure he's used to fans, just maybe of the younger variety. *calls out* Come on, ethan! We have more to see!

Felicity: *at home, in room, on a computer being a teenager*

Mom: *walks in* Hey Felicity. Your ticket for your next game came in the mail.

Felicity: *grins* And where to this time?

Mom: *smiles and holds up the ticket* England.

Josh: **his whole body hurt and it fel slow and heavy, but he could clearly heard the voice of Ed telling him something about not doing something there.** Edmund? *he asked and opened his eyes looking around, He saw Lyn curled in a ball and Edmund with her* Is she ok?... *then looked for the others and saw Felicity and Ethan, but they seemed to be asleep.* Wake up guys!... He said and tried to move, it hurt like hell to move each member of his body, but he managed to get closer to Ethan that wasn't as far as Felicity from him.* Brother... Ethan... *he shook his arm, but as he wasn't waking up he decided to do something a bit harsh.* sorry bro! *he punched Ethan's Arm as hard as his sore body allowed him to*

Lyn: -hiccups as she feels Ed's hand softly on her back- "I'm okay, I'm okay." -she said a bit mumbled, not in the slightest convincing- "You're awake?"

Edmund: [Josh] Will be. [Lyn] *less harsh than usual* Uh huh. Right... *looks her over before seeing her arm and half wincing* Here, eat it. *hands her a small piece of ambrosia and then frowns in the very slightest* Yeah... I'm awake. *turns around groggily to see Josh trying to rouse Ethan...so he supposed it was him for Felicity; sluggishly staggers upwards and walks a few paces before collapsing back down beside her and shaking her shoulder* Weingarten! *looks over at Josh's tactic and Lyn had smashed his ankle so....* (mutters) Sorry Felicity. *staggers back up, takes his good leg and kicks her calf, although probably with not as hard as normal because of his drugged/weakened state*

Ethan *frolicking around Disneyworld with his two bestest buddies when-* OUCH! *snaps out of the haze and Disneyworld fazes into a foggy room that does look vaguely familiar. He looks around to spot Josh* Did you just-... what the heck was that for? Where are w-...oh. Wait, what happened?

Felicity: *was in an airport again and was boarding the plane when everything slipped away like water on a wet painting*. *jerks awake and flinched badly before looking at Ed, then sitting up, not saying anything, just releasing a sigh*

Josh: *sat on the ground when Ethan started waking up* Sorry... and I'm not sure... I just know that... I was in heaven, now... I'm not sure of it... *he grabbed his head and forced himself to get up* ok... so... *he was lost, what had happened to them?* let's see... is everyone Awake? *he felt a deep hole in his stomach, he wanted to go back to sleep again*

Lyn: -She ate from ed's hand, not wanting to move her own at the moment. hiccuping and sobbing slightly rolls onto her head and knees before standing up slightly, trying to protect her arm as best she can. Little tears and dirt staining her face- "Everyone awake?"

The Final Act

Edmund: *crouches back down by Felicity and looks at her, his eyes looking something close to apologetic and his usual expression momentarily crumbling away. numbly nods to josh and lyn*

Ethan: Heaven? Don't die on us now, okay? *gets up as well, though he felt like his muscles had turned into spaghetti. He looked around at the vague figures of the others. Most of them seemed to be moving in some way shape or form.* Ugh, hold on a minute, I feel like I got hit by a bus. *finds a wall and takes a seat against it*

Felicity: *attempts to stand up but is shaky and unsteady, crouches down.* We need to find a way out. *voice really hoarse and cracky, surveys the room*

Josh: Nah, i just was in a very... Very nice place... *looks at Ethan and chuckles* well, then I'm not the only one... I feared it was the age hitting me... *he joked about feeling hit by a wrecking ball or a bus. Then looked at the others, they all seemed to be in same conditions. He walked to where Lyn was.* Thank you, how is that are of yours? *he asked smiling gently, then.looked at Felicity and nodded* the relic must be really close if one of the traps was so... Subtle and lethal. *gets up* edmund, can you feel any machanism? Like a gate or a door?

Lyn: -sniffles a bit cradling her arm looking around. She was a bit wobbly on her feet, weak from the fog. Still she didn't think about it.- "Perfect dreams?" -she said looking at josh. Her eyes still puffy and red-


Edmund: *automatically reaches out to Felicity as she tries to stand, nods in agreement and then looks at Josh, shutting his eyes and trying so hard to use his techopathic abilities, desperate to make up for not being able to stop the gas from being triggered. Something starts coming to him, but then he suddenly gets a very sharp start of a headache, which, in his weakened state gets amplified ten fold. Outwardly grimaces, teetering to the side in his crouched position and landing on his bad ankle* some... Something... *bites down a whimper, looking through the dispersed gas to the chest they saw when they had entered the room* The... The locks

Ethan *with the help of the wall, stands up* I should hope it's not age or we're all doomed too. *chuckles* Locks, eh? That's doable. *looks around the hazy room and notices the chest* Ah, gotcha. How about a hand, Josh?

Felicity: *looks at them talking about the locks and uses the opportunity to hang her head down and clutch her sides, trying to hold in the tears as she comes fully back to reality*

Josh: *looks at ed and was about to tell him to stop, but then he didnt speak. Ed was in first cohort. He could handle it. * thanx Edmund... *then he looks at Ethan and nods* of course! Locks... Our speciality. *walks right next to Ethan*

Lyn: -the ambrosia had closed up the wound on her arm, the ones she had popped open when she squeezed down on it. She slowly let her arm go, keeping it slightly away from her body so it wouldn't bump into her. She was still highly aware of it, the throbbing and stinging sensations coming from it, but she had stopped crying. Stopped sniffling. Ethan and Josh moved over toward the locks, Ed and Felicity didn't seem to be doing well. No one for that matter seemed to be doing well.She smiled, looking up at her team mates.- "We're almost done! Then we can go home..." -she tried to be cheerful, but it came to her that home wasn't the happy fun place with her family. It wasn't with her dad and wasn't the camp she grew up in with the people she loved. It was camp Jupiter. They'd be going there again, and after being out with these people, being family with them, close to them, she didn't know if she wanted to go back-

Edmund: *stupid reality... stupid fog... why couldn't he stop it? bites lip hard, trying to swallow down the pain in his ankle, his heart... everywhere, really. looks at Felicity, refusing to give into the burning indulgence behind his eyes {{could have had it, did had it... but it's not real shut up...could have been. no. but still...}}; then his gaze switches back to Josh and Ethan, steeling himself back up and shifting his face back into being Edmund the war machine. stumbles back up, immediately seeing stars and having to hold on to the wall to stay standing*

Ethan: *makes his way to the locks with Josh* Doesn't look so bad, huh? *places a hand on the locks to feel for the mechanisms but gets a hazy image instead* That's weird... Josh, can you sense them? Maybe I'm just still out of it...

Felicity: *face goes from sad to angry at the words being said. Looks up* Are you all really that stupid? Haven't you figured out that for some reason our powers are just not working here? It's obviously the stupid place fault. *coughs a bit* And Lyn, that .... place, is not a home. It never has been, never will be. Quit being stupid.

Josh: *listens to Lyn and Ed and sighs, they were right at the point that, the place the dream showed them felt like home, like the perfect place to be, like an utopia, but that was just that, a dream. He placed his hand over the locks just as Ethan did, usually he didn't need to touch them to know how to open a lock! but now, not even touching them!* No, it's just like when I tried to teleport, it's there but it just... hurts really bad to try and access to our skills and powers... *but then Felicity exploded in her own crudy way, he looked at her and glared in a calm way* Felicity, we're not dumb as you may think, it is to delay us and to get us killed! Now, if you're not going to help here or can't help with this, just shut up and watch around, we don't need more distractions now. *the lack of that dream, plus the migraine he was getting by trying to understand the locks, was getting his Mars side awake, but only at bad attittudes* Lyn, Camp and New rome is home, people that love us and need us are there, so let's finish this soon and go home, ok? *smiles* help us with you smile and optimism, would you? *to Ed* come and help us, maybe we'll need the hands of a craftsman.

Lyn: -looks a bit worried as Ed stumbles, steping over to his side- "Ed? We'll be okay" -smiles- "We're Romans right?" -looks up at josh and Ethan with that cheerful smile, a bit deadened by the pain she felt outside and in. Then Felicity's words cut her, and the turned to face the only other female there- "It is as home as we can make it! We have people we care about there, maybe not everyone we want to be, but I love Remus, and Gunnar, and you guys and I want you all to be there safe from monsters and fog, and....all the bad stuff. As much as possible. That's why, I wanna go back...."

Edmund: *looks to Lyn and then Felicity without comment; then his gaze switches to Josh, his empty gaze turning into a glare as the world around him spins and he tries to keep his standing balance* (dangerously low and calm) May...Maybe you are as dumb as she thinks. If your powers are dulled, what the hell do you think that would make mine?

Ethan: Felicity, Ed, chill. That's the last thing we need right now is fight between us. Ed, fine, if you don't want to help, then don't. We can get this, Josh.

Felicity: You're acting as dumb as I think you are. [To josh (muttered)] *smirks at Eds comment before scuffing at Lyns* Yeah whatever, you keep being delusional Lyn. Whatever. *gets up and shaking walks over to one of the entrance, leaning against the wall.*

Josh: *to ed* you just come here. Our powers are diminished but they are still there. So come and help if you want to get rid of us. *looks at ethan* he must help as part of the quest. *at lyn* dont listen to her, she's the delutional one. You know where your heart must be and that is good. Thank you. *glares at felicity* we need this to go back... Home or not, ok?

Lyn: "It can't be perfect! I can't have happy Felicity, and happy Ed, and happy Charlie, Remus, Jason, Josh, Ethan, Gunnar, Dad.... I know. I know. But I want to try. Trying can't hurt."

Edmund: *half rolls his eyes, which is a horrible decision because of his growing migraine, and grudgingly (yet carefully, so he doesn't topple over) walks over; reaches his hand out and touches one of them, getting close to nothing, but stubbornly trying to push it and get some information. don't get sick and don't pass out* They're twins. I think they have to be picked at the same time.

Ethan: *nods to Josh* Yeah, I guess you're right. *watches as Ed comes over and checks the lock system* Well that's not so bad. We can do that. Count of three then, Josh?

Felicity: *stays away from all of them, glaring at the shadows*

Josh: Thank you Edmund. *he said and then looked at Lyn* we'll do our best. *smiles at her and then looked at Ethan and nods* ok... on three... *he took his lockpicks praying in his mind so maybe his father could help them there, but he knew they were on their own. He started picking the locks with Ethan, but something sounded in the place as if a huge rock had been moved.*

Lyn: -steps closer to the ones picking at the lock, looking over thier shoulders-

Edmund: *whips around at the sound of the rock being moved, reminding him of when the dogs came to attack himself and Josh. too fast for his head. stars. gods why am I such an idiot? but potential monsters. transforms the keychain into his sword and eyes the place where the sound seemed to come from*

Ethan: *his hand resting on the lock, feeling for the mechanism with his Mercury powers. It budged a little then- He turned sharply at the noise and reached for his gladius. This again?*

Felicity: *hears the sound and gets prepared to attack but the monster comes and pushes her to the side as it rushes towards all of them*

Josh: *looks back and then sees how the monsters pushed Felicity aside. He grabs his daggers and looks at Ethan and Edmund* stay here and open the locks, felicity and I will hold them back! *looks at lyn* help ethan and edmund, ok? *smiles and runs against tthe first raw of monsters*

Lyn: -pulls out her scimitar again and nods to josh, she wanted to help Felicity, but she knew she needed to do as she was told-

Edmund: *looks around for where Felicity landed before putting his sword infront of him, ready to rush them and find Felicity when...* Rogers, I can-- *and Josh is gone, turns around to the locks, hastily shrinking down the sword* Rogers you idiot... *kneels down by Ethan and stubbornly pushes his powers that aren't supposed to be working into getting something* Ready set go, Hunter. *pushes it and starts trying to pick the lock Josh left*

Ethan: Right, okay. *puts his gladius back and turns his attention to the lock with Ed, focuses on opening the lock*

Felicity: *swears before standing up and going for a full out attack on the monsters* Rogers, take the left! I got the right!

Josh: *he knew that Felicity was a very good fighter and centurion so he nooded at her and took the left* ok. *he slashed the throats of some of the monsters*

Lyn: -keeps near by the lock pickers, josh and Felicity were doing a good job keeping them back, if one got past she would put herself between it and Ed and Ethan-

Edmund: *migraine continues to get worse; starts seeing spots but keeps going, forcing his powers: lock pick and don't get sick. don't pass out. please. faster they get it hopefully the less damage to the others...* (mumble) how's it going, hunter?

Ethan: *feeling sick, but feeling progress, so the sickness was okay. Slow progress, but it was there.* Coming along *He said through trying not to get sick all over the locks* You?

Felicity: *fighting and dodging, getting hit a few times but focusing on her task. So what, blood is blood and wounds heal*

Josh: *already with several gashes on arms and torso, but he was still smiling even laughing. It was like training with Rhia. So he would keep them safe*

Lyn: -feeling antsy about the fighting, bounces one before stopping. She didn't want to bother the two concentrating, she wanted everyone to get out safe and shove, her head pounding slightly but she didn't know why-

Edmund: *grits teeth* Fine. *keeps on working, trying to ignore the pounding in his head; focuses on the slow progress that they were making, the fact that Felicity, Josh, and Lyn were behind them and keeping their backs driving him to not pass out*

Ethan: *his voice pained, as he was struggling himself* How's it going with you, Ed...? *so close... so close*

Felicity: *sees an opportunity with the monsters head down and slices its eye, making it half blind but it starts thrashing in outrage, hit and thrown against the wall again before getting up and going back at it, ignoring all pain as her body is full of adrenaline*

Josh: *he was trying to use his speed, which made his body hurt as if he had been on a 96 hour drill with the first cohort, but he kept doing it being able to slash some of the monsters, slowing them down and being able to kill one of them. But his body hurt very much even with tthe adrenaline.*

Lyn: -makes a small movement as if she were about to go to Felicity's side when she fell, but she clenched her teeth and told herself to stay. Told herself that she was supposed to be here, by Ed and Ethan's side if anything got close, if anything tried to sneak up on them. She glanced back at the boys.- "You can do it!"
Wednesday

Edmund: (grumbled) Al-Almost... *grimaces and feels a slight click* You.... You got it?

Ethan *concentrates a few seconds more and hears a faint click too* Haha, got it!

Felicity: *slash here, slash there, everywhere a slash slash. Oh dumb monsters will you die?*

Josh: *continues slashing monsters when one of tthem passed through a gap between felicity and josh. He cursed in latin amd then ran to get it.* i'm not getting in time!... *the monster running at edmund, ethan and lyn, so when the monster was about to atack edmund, josh concentrated deeply and teleported a few feet just to protect Edmund from the monster.* not the blacksmith, you piece of crap! *he tried to fight back, but that telepprtation made his head felt like a mine, his nose bleed and his legs lime jello, si he only covered edmund as the minster slashed Josh's flesh in his chest, left side torso and left side back. Then he moved forcing himself to do it and stabbed the monster near its weak spot, but then he fell to his knees feeling weaker.*

Lyn: -looks back at the guys as the both say they've gotten the lock- "Khoroshaya rabota!!" -she said with a grin, and turned in time to see Josh teleport to them, blood flung from his body as the monster slashes at him- "JOSH!!" -her head pounded a moment as she moved as quickly as she could to the creature thrusting her sword deep into a soft spot on the creature as it howled in pain as it crumbled to dust-

Edmund: On three then? *feels like a weird little kid, goes to lift the lid up, then hears the chaos behind him; tenses, ready to get decapitated, but then Josh and Lyn, doesn't dare to look behind him or else he'll entirely loose concentration and reverse all the progress*

Ethan: *hears the commotion and winces, but doesn't look back* One two three! *pushes the lid up*

Felicity: *sees what Josh is doing, loses co.concentration on her monster at the moment* Josh wait! *gets knocked Into the wall again, curses, getting real tired of the stupid wall and finishes up her monsters*

Josh: *tries to focus, he wouldn't be a burden for the team!* I'm fine... Lyn. *he breathed deeply trying to apply presure to his mayor wound* check how... Are Ed and Ethan... Going with the... Locks. *but he was losing color fast, inminent blood loss*

Lyn: "They are god, they got it!" -she said hurriedly, and more high pitched then normal as she threw her bag off, pulling it open for her medical supplies. Not thinking as well as she should she took out the first cloth she found and pressed it against his wound.-

Edmund: *lifts up with Ethan, grimacing and trying not to think about what's happening behind him* {{Rogers you idiot, probably bleeding out and you have the freaking nerve to wonder how we are??}} *now that he's no longer forcing powers, the headache starts receding slightly, but still feels like he may get sick* (grows) I swear if nothing is in there I will kill someone.
