Hatsumi watched as Benten quickly took off, entrusting them to the mission beforehand. She followed everyone inside and noticed the different statues that the lobby held. "These stone things are indeed something different." She wandered away from the group, as she walked further and further into the museum. she would walk up to anything that seemed interesting, poking it and examining it from head to toe. "What is this.." She turned her head to ask about the work before her but found no one behind her. She blinked a couple of times, wandering where could they have gone. "Umm..Fellow companions..."She whispered softly as she tried to retrace her steps back. "Ah, the device.." She remembered as she pulled her necklace communicator from underneath her collar, "Hello everyone. Are you all alright? I seem to have lost my way but I should be back in a moment or so." Hatsumi claimed as she seemed to stray further away from her actual destination area.

 gaia_angelleft "Quinn" Heidi Arabella - Shapeshifter gaia_angelright ((ooc: )) For a moment, Quinn felt a flash of pleasure at seeing Jebediah fall back from her retaliation. However, it didnt last long as he quickly stood up and forced her to stand. The fear crept back into Quinn as she watched him create a green ball of fire. She wanted to close here eyes but couldnt, her fear paralyzing her features with her eyes wide.
However, the ball seemed to split itself into two as it flew past her, almost licking at her skin. Quinn let out a sigh of extreme relief that she hadnt burned to a crisp just then and she closed her eyes. She heard a familiar voice and opened them to see Benten right in front of her. "Benten!" she gasped, the relief almost tangible in her voice and a smile spreading across her features.
Quinn rolled her eyes at the cat. "Hurt? No I just called you for coffee and ding dongs," she said sarcastically, her southern accent thick as she watched him turn to take in the image of Jebediah. Quinn could hear the recognition in his voice as he addressed him. She listened to their exchange of words and her brows furrowed in confusion.
"You know him?" she scoffed disbelievingly. The world was just full of surprises. But her disbelief was replaced with anger as her body moved to kick Benten from behind. "Cheap b*****d," she muttered and then turned threateningly, "Alligator soup, Jebediah, alligator soup. Just gotta chop the onions if you know what I mean."
Then she found herself walking over to Li-Fan's body and she growled loudly. "Really, you cant just finish the job yerself, lousy good for nothing urgh," she was muttering as she closed her eyes so she wouldnt have to look at her sword coming out of Li-Fan. But the noise was still there and it made Quinn want to gag.
It wasnt as if death was new to Quinn, she had hunted before with no qualms. It was the fact that she did it to a human being that had bothered her. And then Jebediah was talking to Quinn, which forced her to look at him. He was talking about how she liked to swing her sword and how would she like to practice with Mr. Benten.
"You wouldnt dare," she murmured, but her body moved, slashing away at Benten brutally. Her initial reaction was the same as she had done with Li-Fan. "Right, left! Down! Oh!" she yelled with surprise as Benten had no problem whatsoever. It was quite cool, for lack of a better term.
Benten began whispering to her and she strained to hear as their swords did make loud clang sounds, not to mention the whooshing of steel whizzing through the air. He reassured her that he would take care of this, but that there was no way he could get to Jebediah by himself without the use of her aid.
Quinn nodded, finding that she could do so and then cursed to herself that Jebediah might see her nodding and suspect something. She thought about what Benten had just asked of her. She didnt want to hurt him...but gosh darnit the cat wasnt getting struck at all by her katana.
'Screw it,' she thought before tightening her grip on her katana and taking and jumping in the air, arms lifting in a ferocious arc down towards Benten's head. For once, since she had been possessed by the voodoo, Quinn felt sure of her body and not a prisoner. Sure she had to just try to kill Benten, but still, it felt like such a relief to be herself again.
Quinn tried thinking of this situation differently, take it as a practicing sword fight for future referance. Quinn felt better of herself already and swung left, then right, and then twirled through the air for a diagonal strike at Benten. And through all this, she slowly made Benten fall back. Being in control of her body meant less fear to Quinn and the tears on her cheeks began to dry with ever step towards Jebediah.

T'kkhe'kk ■■ ❝The blood of my ancestors.❞ ==== ☠==== ==== The Hive ☠==== ==== ☠====
The Hive had been quiet in a forthright fit of internal inspection at the events of the day and the reactions of his teammates as a means to try and ascertain whether this coupling was the best idea as far as strengthening relations between the species. He felt no remorse for smashing the innocent into paste upon the ground, where everyone else seemed to recoil in horror at the prospect of taking a life, The Hive was at ease which allowed him a small kernel of doubt as to his ability to be utilized in a useful way by the rest of the group. Where benevolent Mentor Benton said that they weren't soldiers, T'kkhe'kk knew that he was a soldier and he viewed the collective destruction of a civilian as "collateral damage" when everyone else seemed thrown into despair at the blood on their hands. The Hive cared as much for that person as he did the dozen or so armed goons which he had dispatched earlier in the day without a moment's notice. This conflict of idiologies which eventually put himself at odds with the rest of the group which didn't seem nearly as keen with his methodology and militaristic point of view which meant that if he continued in his current ways, he would probably have to fight the entirety of the corps which was a prospect that he'd be happy to do without. But can an individual truly remove themselves from a mentality which has been cultivated within them since their first breath.
In the super organism of the Homo-Optera colony, every member is expendable except for yer royal highness. The bugs are born to die in defense of their all powerful mistress which sustains the colony by continuously laying eggs and exacerbating their numbers to keep the colony strong. So in the human world, where every man and woman is a Queen in the sense that they can create their own progeny, they can take heed and cherish the life ot every person. This is probably a good reason why the human race is so varied in their dispositions which led to people who seem innately good and those who seemed to be a beacon for evil misconducts since there was no central matriarchal figure, the intermingling of lesser genetic material with no way of metering their reproduction until they flooded the world with their abominations. But because of the sentiments of the good righteous, even these abominations had rights to live and breath. By this particular dynamic of social tendencies is lost on an outsider like T'kkhe'kk who'd happily end the lives of an entire town if the purpose so enacting it was one he agreed with. This made him a danger to the entire human race, it seemed. So how could his remaining in this city or on this team bring forth any positive outcome?
He was quiet as they arrived at the museum and followed through the motions upon arrival, following quietly with the others as Benton left and left them under their own leadership to inspect and deduce the disturbance which they were to nullify. Roxane being Roxane, cautioned herself for a second before darting off to inspect one of the many statues which lined the room they were traversing and this act brought T'kkhe'kk's large compound eyes to a familiar visage as he instantly recognized the only humanoid creature which had bested his strength in an equal contest and this brought forth a pang of jealousy and rage to well into the mighty bosom of the beast who clinched his four claws and chattered his mandibles together to signify his indifference. At heed to Roxane's word, confusion washed over The Hive who was wholly unfamiliar with the concepts of Gods and religion. The Homo-Optera worshipped their Queen as to describe it in terms humans could understand which was more a cherishing of the figure which sustained them more so then clinging to a figure of unexplainable origin in hopes of appeasing said diety but before he had time to voice his muddled thoughts, the statue's eyes were flaring into life in a scene which was all too familiar to the Insect who had the closest and most hands on exchange with the Tiki God.
Rei was quick with a defense, much to the appreciation for Roxane's anatomy which would have been worst for wear if the mighty fists of the statue were brought down upon her fragile anatomy but his actions bought the team precious time to retaliate and attempt to eliminate this threat before more presented themselves so The Hive wasted no time in applying his mighty claws to the fracas. Rei has already propelled his shadowy globules forward as an assault upon the statue and was now rushing it to place a kick upon the stone diety when The Hive followed behind him to add a punctuation mark to the assault. As Rei kicked off and receded from the attack, The Hive moved forward underneath of him to place himself squarely before the statue, offering him a thundering downward swing of his right arms with hands led by jagged claws like two swords swinging down in a diagonal across the statue's chest. This precipitated a spin, as it always seemed to when the Bug was fighting which allowed the stinger to fling forward for a clean stab towards the statue's gut. The spin was completed by a back spinning set of elbows which were aimed for the face and throat of the statue respectively. It was a simple and quick combo which included lacerations, a puncture and the full bludgeoning power of two powerfully set up elbows of the hardened exoskeleton. After the completion of the fluid movements, The Hive returned to the resting position of his martial art and waited for reactions from the team or the statue.

Diane wondered the town doing her usually thing, which was doing absolutely nothing, but still brought a smile to those she passed as she waved and said hello to everyone she met.
"No one seems to be in trouble or needs my help, I guess that's a good thing but I'm soooo bored" Diane thought to herself as she checked the town out for any signs of trouble.
"I get the feeling though I'm missing out on some excitement but where?" She added looking puzzled as she wondered what could be going on with out her.

The Red Blur
Roxane Chase
Roxy flinched a bit as the bullet whizzed past her and hit the Tiki god behind her, stunning him temporarily. "whew that was clo-waaah!" she yelped as Rei suddenly yanked her out of the way of the Tiki's god's attack. "In all fairness I did say I can't do cautious" Roxy said, dusting herself off. "damn your savin' my a** so much I'd probably be swoonin' over ya if I wasn't gay" she said with a chuckle, drawing out her shot gun and starting to load in bean bag shells. "well since this whole mask thing seems to be the word of the day I'd say to keep a look out for that specifically" Roxy said, standing beside Rei and taking aim, peppering the tiki man with blasts of her shotgun to cover Rei and Hive's approach to layeth the smackdown.
The tiki man growled with irritation as he found his body stiffen slightly for a brief moment, giving Rei enough time to snatch Roxy out of the way. He let out a feral roar as his body was pelted with shadow balls and shotgun shells, his body jerking back with each hit, yet the Tiki god just kept pressing forward regardless. When Rei leapt forward and shot a kick at his chest Ku stuck his palm out and caught the attack, pushing the shadowmancer back. However it turned out that Rei's attack proved the perfect cover for the approach of the familiar hulking beast that was Hive. The arm blades slashes across Ku's chest, immediately drawing blood, revealing that he was infact not a statue, and was the same flesh and blood opponent they had faced before, he had simply been standing very still in order to take them by surprise earlier. However as Hive stabbed forward with his tale Ku shoved the massive organ to the side, dodging the attack, and when he came back with some back elbows Ku found itself being knocked back against the wall, the concrete cracking a bit with the impact. The tiki god growled as he collapsed from the wall onto one knee, wiping it's chest and glancing at the blood on it's hand. It's eyes began to glow like molten coals and he stood up to release a massive roar, pointing forward at them like a commanding gesture. Suddenly there could be chattering heard from inside the Hawaiian wing,and the room was suddenly flooded with a rush of strange creatures. They looked to be made of wood, shaped like small skeletal beings with massive tiki masks in place of heads. They chattered and clacked, constantly buzzing with strange impish chattering in some strange language non there could understand. "the hell are those things?" Roxy asked to no one in particular. Suddenly the tiki man let out a commanding roar and the little skele-minions rushed into battle with their tiny daggers drawn. They all only stood about 2 to 3 feet tall, and where as fragile as fine china, but they where tenacious as hell and numbered well over 3 dozen. Suddenly as one leapt forward at Roxy the top half of it's head was blown away, the wood splintering everywhere as the little create was thrown back, hitting the wall and breaking into pieces. "well...I think it's safe to say these things aint human...so I don't think we're gonna have to worry about these guys being civilians" Roxy said, pulling out her bat and swinging it like a gulf club to smack another one up into the ceiling, smashing it to pieces as it hit the large fan above. She was about to smash another one when suddenly she heard Hatsumi's voice over the comm link "huh? lost? We've only been here for like two minutes how the hell did you manage to get yourself lo-ERGH!" she shouted, the distraction giving one of the tiki minion enough time to jump on her back and stab her shoulder. "dammit! hey I'll call you back" Roxy said, suddenly racing forward towards the wall and slamming back first against it, squishing the minion between herself and the wall.
Meanwhile Ku let out another roar and turned it's attention back to Hive, it's eyes glowing and lava starting to leak from the sides of it's mouth. It was clear it had beef with the large bug man above all else, and it stepped forward and let out another roar to challenge him, spreading it's arms out in a "come get some" pose.
   As Hatsumi made her way through the halls of the museum she's suddenly feel a hand on her shoulder. "Hatsumi what are you doing? shouldn't you be with the others right now?" Eri's voice asked. If Hatsumi looked over her shoulder she'd see her dollish friend standing there, still in his human form somehow. "come on, follow me, I'll show you the way back" he said, motioning for her to follow him. However despite looking exactly like Eri, there was something a bit odd about his voice, it was small, but there was something about it that sounded a bit...off.
Benten-Yoshi
founder of the Y.G.C.
"the world's deadliest being"
Benten smirked a bit as Quinn still found a way to snap and quip in a situation like this, atleast she hadn't completely lost it. "Calm down Quinn, I knew Jebediah, he was a good man, he wouldn't do something like this of his own volition." Benten told her, glancing over his shoulder at Jebediah, still piecing together what was going on from what he had said. The strange voodoo man had always been intentionally vague and metaphorical even when he was giving someone a straight answer, but now that he was somehow limited in what he could tell them it made things even more frustrating.
Putting that aside for now Benten focused back on Quinn and allowed her to force him back with her ferocious attacks. "jeez I know I said make it look real but you don't have to get THAT into it" Benten thought, Quinn reminding him alot of his wife in this particular moment, full force with little in regards to restraint. Still Benten didn't have much difficulty dodging and blocking her strikes. Quinn was very good for her age, and in time she'd surely be a master swordsman, but Benten had a few thousand years of experience on her, so despite her skill it was hardly a real challenge for him. Suddenly as they got closer to the Obeah Man Benten's foot snagged on a crack in the ground and he dramatically tripped back. "nyaaaa!" he shouted dramatically, seemingly falling victim to another bout of bad luck. However right as he hit the ground Benten suddenly rolled backwards and using one of his twin tails drew Wailing Dark from it's sheath and out of no where slashed at the doll in Jebediah's hand, gracefully avoiding the doll itself and instead severing the whisker poking up out of it's head, severing the link between it and Quinn. Otherwise being a voodoo doll any damage the doll took would have been reflected on Quinn, which meant if Li-Fan would have actually incinerated the doll Quinn would have just gone up in flames. "how unlucky" Benten said, delivering a quick kick to Jebediah's sternum sending him flying back, leaving the doll skewered on his blade. "alright Quinn, let's get to the button of this debacle." Benten said, tossing the doll up into the air and slashing it to bits, preventing Jebediah from using it again on Quinn, freeing her from it's grasp for good.
 (Right now the city is currently plunged into absolute chaos, as Citzens are being possesed by evil masquerade masks that are making them attack anything they see, causing massive riots all over the city, requiring heroes from all over to help quell the massive violence. I understand I hadn't given you an update yet, but regardless your post literally could not have been more incorrect As for what the characters are doing. Currently Quinn and Benten are fighting the Obeah Man, a giant voodoo practicing lizard who is the source of all the cursed Masquerade masks. They're fighting out in the streets just outside a night club that's had it's roof blown off. The other characters are at the Supernatural History Museum trying to stop the person behind all the attacks, who's using all the chaos caused by the riots as a distraction to rob the museum. The main cast is fighting a muscle bound tiki god in the front lobby, while another is lost somewhere inside the museum)

As the narrative voice in her head explained what she seemed so oblivious to, the town was in fact in total chaos as masked creatures were running rampant all over the town
"Oh I guess I should help out then" Diane stated as she noticed a group of other heroes fighting off a lizard man as it started heading right towards her.

T'kkhe'kk ■■ ❝The blood of my ancestors.❞ ==== ☠==== ==== The Hive ☠==== ==== ☠====
Perhaps it was an attempt to atone for his past transgressions in the eyes of his team but T'kkhe'kk stood his ground when he saw Ku falter, and threw his lower left arm out to his sides before whispering a quick message to his immediate companions into his communicator.
"Rei, Roxane. Leave here to find Hatsumi. I will cover your es..."
His message was cut off by the ferocious roar of his opponent but his meaning and the stern tone which he commanded carried more then enough urgency to spur them into action. Those two in particular had seen The Hive in action so they knew full well his level of capability when it came to dealing death and defending himself. Besides, The Beast Ku seemed to accommodate their escape but placing his attention squarely on The Hive while the mini-tiki minions probably couldn't pierce his exoskeleton with their knives which made this a situation that T'kkhe'kk could handle on his own, from a logical perspective. Hatsumi, on the other hand, was too doubtful of her own natural ability to be able to handle a swarm of these Tiki creatures if they sought her out. She was in a much more immediate danger then The Hive had ever been. Plus, the bug had to make amends for himself as well as settle an old score with a new enemy. As the thoughts raced through his mind, his trap jaw mandibles opened to their fullest extent (a full one hundred and eighty degree angle) and settled in place under the amazing strain of the thick coils of muscles which controlled them. His feelers danced about his head as he took in the cornucopia of electrical signals which buzzed around the room before the thrill of incoming combat overtook him and he voiced a bestial response to Ku's challenge. His left foot came down, his head arched back and he allowed another of his frightening shrieks to emanate from his heaving chest, echoing through the wide expanse of the room and leaving a wake of shattered glass in its place. The extreme high pitches resonance was over almost as quickly as it started and showed T'kkhe'kk as an equal in the laws of nature.
The Hive used this natural display of instinctual attempted intimidation between the two as a stalling maneuver to give his teammates ample time to escape from the room and after they'd done so, The Hive wasted little time in affecting the beginning of the fight. This time, no interruptions would taper this fights. Rei wouldn't teleport The Hive any where. No scorcerer was around to throw up barriers to protect anyone. This time, it was Ku versus T'kkhe'kk and only one of them would ever leave this room again.
The Hive dropped down so that his set of left arms had their palms pressed firmly upon the floor beneath his bulk in a move which would indicate that the Bug was going to attempt a sweeping kick that would attempt to fell his powerful opponent but instead of a turn with an outstretched leg, both of his legs would outstretch in a vertical line from the floor as The Hive turned himself into a missile with a natural propulsion of his own powerful arms. He flew straight in his kick, his toes leading his feet so as to add a stabbing effect to the bludgeoning force of the move which was an attrmpt to thrust Ku through the wall which he had hit and cracked moments before. However, the beauty of this attack was that even if Ku managed to dodge in the short space which seperated them, The Hive would land on the wall on his feet before it crumbled under the force of the strike. But he wouldn't be in an awkward position and would be fully able to defend himself from any retaliatory attacks. Thus the chess match began in T'kkhe'kk's mind. Feigns, power or quick attacks, possible defenses and retaliations for himself and his opponent. These factors were constantly in his mind as a soldier for his colony and a practitioner of warfare for his lifetime. Ever vigilant to his craft, ever evolving in ways of attacking and defending and ever analyzing his strengths and weaknesses.
From the previous encounter The Hive knew several attributes which will play out in this deadly contest. Ku had the advantage of strength as evident of his catching The Hive's arms in midattack. Ku had the advantge of range since he had the ability to liberally spew lava. The Hive, he believed, had speed and maneuverability on his side since Ku hadn't proven himself particularly quick of foot in their last contest and The Hive could ascend any surface at full speed which would eventually come in handy when dealing with the Mini-Tiki's. So his first priority for this fight was a "stick and move" dynamic. Rush in, Land a quick Combo and get away to regroup and reanalyze the fighting landscape so as to avoid any of the heat attacks of the Tiki God or any of the power moves the Mask was capable of. There was evidence enough for T'kkhe'kk to infer that Ku had no formal training in any form of Martial Arts since Ku never took a stance and just preformed moves which emphasized strength over technique so feigns and simultaneous attacks may prove highly effective against opponents unskilled at defense, especially when four limbs try to stop six limbs.
Having formed his battle strategy before his feet made contact with anything, he was fully ready to give his life in trying to take Ku's.

gaia_angelleft "Quinn" Heidi Arabella - Shapeshifter gaia_angelright ((ooc: )) Quinn sliced and diced as best she could and even at one point grew annoyed that none of her strikes were hitting. It made her feel like a newbie to sword fighting. However, the goal wasn't to really hurt Benten, it was to get him close enough to Jebediah, which they were doing rather well.
The vigor in Quinn's eyes left when Benten dramatically fell. She had one eyebrow arched up in a classic wtf look as he slashed at the doll and kicked Jebediah back. Even as Quinn felt the freedom back in her limbs, she couldnt help but burst out laughing. Heaves of hysterical laughter racked through her body, in part because it was quite hilarious watching Benten fall like that and also because the whole situation was surreal to her.
I mean, she couldnt quite believe that it was that easy to just kick Jebediah aside. The whole evening with the club, the masks, the alligator and the voodoo man. It was quite the busy night, as well as emotional. As her laughter died down she cleaned her katana on her pants and went to stand by Benten.
"Well isn't this just hunkey dorey," she said, her sword at her side and grinning at Benten. "I reckon it's time to give Jebediah a whoopin'" she said longingly. Quinn's eyebrows furrowed as she looked Benten up and down. "Not a scratch on you," she murmured before suddenly pinching him on the arm. "There, that'll make me feel better," she smiled.
Then she noticed her arm was beginning to feel cold and all sensation was brought back to her, making her gasp. All the pain, being stabbed by a fork, scratched by civilians, bit by....some guy, and grazed by the alligator's tooth, well it certainly was a lot for a girl like Quinn to take.
But Quinn was much more determined than to let a few scratches down her. She bit her lip as she ripped a piece of her shirt off and wrapped it around her arm as best she could, tying it with her teeth. "Ok Mr. Benten, let's do this," she said decisively and held her katana on her good arm.

Hatsumi jumped a little when she felt something grab onto her shoulder. She slowly turned to find, "ERI!??" Hatsumi blinked a couple of times, rubbing her eyes a bit, "Eri, it is really you!? How is this possible!? T-The Wisers let you..Oh I? I was adventuring and found myself here.." Hatsumi was excited yet relieved to see her friend standing before her. Then the Eri before her told her he would take her to everyone. She started following this Eri but paused before continuing any further. Something seemed fishy.
Eri should not be able to roam around the human world in his human form. Secondly, he should've still been in the Shallow world, resting from using too much energy for he was not accustomed to using his ability like that. Although Hatsumi might be slow at times, however, she can be quick-witted. Especially with all the strange events that took place, at this point, anything may happen.
She opened her mouth, singing the melody that would bring forth the nightmare for the person before her, She didn't need to complete the song this time, all she had to do was sing the first words and soon, darkness would fall upon this fake Eri. Hatsumi quickly sprung towards the other direction for she knew she would not be able to physically fight if that thing was strong or somehow escaped her illusion. She ran as fast as her short legs could take her, pausing for a moment for indeed, she was not a very good runner. "Ah..Have I lost him..I think that should hold him back a while.." She glanced up to see two hallways before her. "Umm.." She decided to just wing it and entered the right path.

The Red Blur
Roxane Chase
Roxy began frantically dashing around and smacking the tiki minions away, having to constantly keep moving to avoid getting overwhelmed by the barrage of little cretins. When Hive told them to go find Hatsumi while he took care of the rest Roxy wasn't really inclined to deny him, as she was dying over here dealing with all these creeps, while they where litterally just bouncing off of Hive like he was made of rubber. "no problem, c'mon Rei let's go get doll face" Roxy said racing off down the hall in pursuit of their air headed companion. "yo Hatsumi!? where the hell are ya?" she called out, both down the hall and through the communicator.
Ku watched as the other members of the team filed out of the lobby area, half of the tiki minions splitting off to pursue them, while the others remained and formed a circle around the two lumbering titans, chattering and chanting as if cheering the fighters on. As Hive launched himself forward in an impressive drop kick towards Ku, he'd find himself falling under the one circumstance he didn't seem to account for. As his legs neared Ku the tiki god simply caught the bug by the ankles and used Hive's own forward momentum against him, swinging the massive bug around a few times by his legs before slamming straight into the same small crater in the wall Ku had popped out of. Ku then leapt back away from the large bug and opened it's gaping maw releasing a torrent of lava at his foe, hoping to dowse him in the burning spray and melt the oversized termite away. Ku was a feral fighter, emphasizing on strength, but his simply yet effective counter established that "simple" should not be mistaken "stupid". He was not merely dumb muscle just because he didn't have the same fluidity of the Hive, and a god was not so easily outsmarted that a mindless ant could run circles around him. Letting out another roar Ku spread his arms open again, once again opening himself for an attack, but now it was clear this was part of his strategy, inviting an open attack meant you knew exactly where an opponent would strike, since most wouldn't bother with fancy tricks if they had a free shot available already. Eri said, shaking his head and rolling his eyes at her. "seriously you know I had to sneak around the wisers to get you guys through the first time, you don't think I couldn't do it again to get back?" he asked, obviously a bit irked by her lack of faith in his abilities. He patted her on the head when she said she was adventuring and just found herself winding up there. "yeah that makes alot of sense actually" Eri said, continuing on down the hall without another word. When he heard her footsteps stop her turned and glanced over his shoulder at her. "you comin-" he froze mid sentence as she opened her mouth, a single note coming out before he found himself suspended in darkness. "aaaaaaaaah! Eri you b***h! Get me out of here!" he roared down the hall, though didn't come to pursue her. Suddenly as she made her way down the hallway Roxy came running out from around the corner and knocked into her. "ow ow ow damn! what the hell?" she muttered, looking down to see Hatsumi splayed out underneath her. "hey tuts, finally caught up with you. Hey don't go running off like that again you hear? We can't afford to get seperated, who knows what might happen" she said, standing up and helping Hatsumi back up to her feet. "yo looks like you where heading in the right direction atleast" she said, pointing up over the sign to the pathway she had gone down, which read "storage section: employees only" "this probably leads to that fancy smancy vault, come on lets go check it out...but we gotta be careful this time...take it slow" Roxy said, crouching down low and starting to sneak down the hall, motioning for Hatsumi to follow her.
Benten-Yoshi
founder of the Y.G.C.
"the world's deadliest being"
Benten turned back to Quinn with a proud look on his face, obviously very pleased with his quick plan going off without a hitch. However the proud smirk on his face quickly vanished as Quinn practically doubled over laughing at him. "you know shock, awe, unequaled grattitude, these are NORMAL responses to your master coming in and dramatically saving your life" Benten said, a bemused look on his face, no respect. When Quinn stood at his side, ready to face down Jebediah Benten put his recently pinched arm out in front of her. "not quite, I need to teach you something first, it's the Young Guardian's Oath, all those who take it have their energies linked together, allowing each other to directly draw on each others reserves of strength, stamina, and other forms of energy. Myself and the others have already taken it, and if you take it as well you'll be able to acess a fraction of my power, which should put you back into fighting shape" he told her. "repeat after me. From looses ties, to dearest friend, this city's light I shall defend, against all trials fate may send, Young Guardian Corps, fight to the end!" he told her, slamming his fist over his chest to demonstrate. Once she did so she'd feel an immense surge of power, just as the others had, and her energy too would be linked up with the others at the museum as well as Benten. Not only would she feel a good surge of power, but her injured arm would begin to heal as well, putting her right back in tip top shape. The giant cat turned back to Li-Fan, seeing him start to loose blood. "Quinn, I want you to hold him off for a few minutes, I need to attend to Li-Fan's wounds before he bleeds out" Benten told her, running over to Li-Fan. "well I'll hand it to you Benten, you live up to your name sake well. I don't imagine I'd be kickin' right now if you weren't so noble" the Obeah Man said, rising back up onto his feet, a low hiss eminating from his throat. "unfortunately I have no such privilege" he said, pulling the masquerade mask out of his torn coat and holding it up in the air. Suddenly possessed citizens for blocks around all stopped what they where doing to turn and begin marching on their location. In only a matter of minutes an entire army of citizens would be upon them, which was an issue of it's own, but since they where innocents that meant they would have to fight off an entire army without seriously injuring any of them. Time was definitely of the essence, as the clear option was that they needed to stop the Obeah Man before the minions arrived, they would have to act fast. "I told you child I got friends on the other side, and plenty of them!" he shouted, opening his maw and spewing out a spray of eerie green flames at Quinn, before suddenly dashing off to the side, seemingly ignoring her entirely. "Quinn look out! He's going for that girl!" Benten shouted, seeing the Obeah Man head straight towards the approaching Diane, both Jebediah and Benten assuming she was just a normal, if not oddly dressed, civilian that could be taken hostage. "stop him before he has a chance to take a hostage and stall for time, I can hear more people approaching, alot of them" Benten said as he frantically tore away strips of cloth to try to field dress Li-Fan's wounds.

Pinkamena noticed the group of enemies coming towards her seeming to have an intent on taking her hostage, as she heard some yell to go and protect her.
"It's ok I got this" She announced as the lizard man ran at her
"Toro toro" Pinkamena taunted the man as she held a red cape in front of her as the beast pounced at her it hit a very solid and hard object Pinkamena removed the cape to reveal there was anvil that the lizard man had run into
"Oooh that looked painful" Pinkamena stated as she looked down at the lizard man.
Pinkamena waited a bit to see if the lizard man would get back up before heading towards the rest
"Hi Pinkamena at your service" She announced

Hatsumi could feel the goosebumps on her pale skin as she remembered how her long time friend was impersonated. She felt the fear running through her silverish blood and then suddenly found herself on the ground. She glanced up to spot Roxy, a small sigh of relief escaping her lips. Roxy would help her to her feet, mentioning how she needed to be careful and not get lost again. Hatsumi nodded and decided to keep the encounter with Eri a secret for now. "Thank you Roxy. I apologize for wondering in the wrong path. The objects were very fascinating and I could not resist exploring a bit. I will indeed be cautious from now on." Hatsumi closely followed Roxy, not wanting to get lost again and meet that fake Eri. It didn't seem like he followed her though. Could it be he was really Eri? That thought immediately slipped, knowing for sure Eri would not be able to leave the Shallow world in his human form.

Қɑɠҽ ◤The Shadow Walker◥ I lurk. ==============☠ ============== All around. Rei Ito Rei rolled his eyes at the back of his head when Roxy commented on how cautious wasn't her thing and how this was the second time he saved her, "Whatever." The tiki statue was actually a person as the blood spilled indicated so. Rei grimaced as he was reminded of what happened before. Soon, Little weird masked creatures started appearing and flooding the room, "What the hell.." Roxy confirmed these creatures were not people which eased things as Rei started to aim his dark attacks at them, knocking one right after the other. Hatsumi's stated she got lost for a bit and was on her way. Rei highly doubted she would be able to find it easily. Thats when the Hive stated that he would be able to handle the chaos here. Rei nodded at his well thought out strategy and stayed for a little longer to help wipe as many of these tiki minions as possible.
Rei would soon follow Roxy who had bumped into Hatsumi. "Hey. Hatsumi. Don't be like Roxy here and be more cautious will ya? And Roxy, speak for yourself..you need to also be more cautios." She seemed a bit off though and Rei wondered what was on her mind. Rei decided to follow the girls from behind to be on the lookout and to prevent Hatsumi from getting lost again.

The Red Blur
Roxane Chase
Roxy let out a frustrated growl as she zipped down the halls of the maze-like museum, not spotting hide nor hair of Hatsumi. Not only that it seems she lost Rei as well at some point. "god dammit where are they?" Roxy cursed to herself, skidding to a stop in the prehistoric creature exhibit. "god dammit! where the hell are you guys!? And Rei what the hell happened to going together? why the hell did you ditch me man?" Roxy shouted into her communicator.
 Roxy smirked a bit and softly brushed Hatsumi's hair with her hand. "hey don't worry doll-face, just take it easy from now on ok/ Wouldn't want to loose you" she said softly, giving the small girl a little wink before turning back down the hallway. When Rei commented about her not being cautious Roxy chuckled and just waved it off. "oh come on, I'm a freakin' master of stealth here!" Roxy said "caution is my middle name" she added as they stealthily approached the door that lead to the underground storage area. However just as Roxy was reaching out to grab the knob Roxy's voice could be heard blaring out of their communicators. "god dammit! where the hell are you guys!? And Rei what the hell happened to going together? why the hell did you ditch me man?" Roxy turned to the others and rose a brow. "da hell was that? was that...supposed to be me?" she asked looking at her mic uncertainly. "what kind of weird crap is this?
