Tick tick tick tick-

The case stopped.

And then popped open.

It wasn't a bomb. It wasn't even close to resembling a bomb, instead a strange, flat disc with several runic symbols on it. Intricate runic symbols. The device flared once, twice, and then -

- A portal flared to life in the center of the room.

"Careful, careful," The voice was all warning. "Only the chosen can step through the portal through CHOICE alone. Anyone who tries to make other plans will you know - BOOM. Fear not, you are truly for JUSTICE you will not waver."



OOC

All Hunters seeking JUSTICE

- You can go ahead and step through the portal!
- Please note once you will have [EXITED] the thread.
- A GM reply will be made sometime tomorrow (afternoonish) so please hang tight till then for the GRIPPING CONCLUSION!

Caelius looked extremely bored. At some point he had returned to working on the map. It was to be noted a few more names were crossed off from the original list.

Mark would have appreciated Gale if he was still conscious. And maybe his Jedi padawan too.

This was insane. Completely and utterly insane. He was used to being bombarded with scary monsters and death scenarios, but this? He was afraid, but for something he felt wasn't fair. His loyalty was being tested. Either he sided with the leaders, or he went along with Solia. Sure, he wanted to go with her. But...he couldn't just blindly follow suit. This wasn't something he could protect her from. A monster? Sure, he'd doing the noble thing. He'd scream his a** off for it and look like a total coward but at least he could it. But to betray the leaders, all for a voice who right now was threatening their lives?

And, he did feel loyally towards some of the leaders. Charlotte, Edith, Allan...He couldn't just leave them.


'Because they're our-'

'Of course they are! Why wouldn't they be
It was weird to hear the fallen angel sound so serious, his usual flippant and casual tone replaced by a lower, sombre note.

The moon trainee paused, watching the leaders as they did nothing, said nothing in their defence.

And it hurt to see Allan to look so...Happy. He was even laughing at a picture of a cat. Why was he doing it, at a time like this...



With a sigh, he rubbed the bridge of his nose. This was a classis mountain out of molehill scenario. Everyone was panicking, people were taking sides. Why. Why was this happening? They didn't even know what kind of bomb this was. And why was the guy threatening them with a bomb in the first place?

And why wasn't anyone doing anything?!. Even Mark wasn't doing anything! (Although truth be told, he was still passed out). This matter could of been solved ages ago if they'd decided to act on it instead of sit there all high and mighty



"Or maybe this is a huge joke just to see what we'd do..." With a gloomy sigh, Jason hoped over the edge of the desk And stood in the middle

He should of just stayed in bed today...

"So what you're saying to me is you'd rather beat a dead horse. Millions of stars in the sky hun..." Dakota shrugged, he didn't see the point in studying stars continously. He didn't see how it made a point with what they were facing now.

"You've haven't been on a mission long enough to make a mistake Mimsy." Dakota shrugged again, He had never seen the girl anywhere near a time when the heat was down. And their leaders were the ones to pull them out of the mess.

Dakota wasn't going to unground his roots because some guy offered a...."What you joined over there...is HIS truth. and the people that in this room have THEIR truth. And the ones I choose to actually believe their truths, are the ones who have been around much longer than you and I. Not some voice over the intercom."

"Jason! Jason, no what are you doing!" Jerry stiffened, but didn't waver from his decision. It was the right one as far as he was concerned. Ami's grumpiness toward his Sun Song went ignored.

Oh. Jason. Super Awkward. Blushing as she started kicking at the floor, the tiny hunter looked to Jason. "Well it said that maybe could be a new leader and whatnot... so I figure why not try it?"

Suddenly Mimsy! She smiled before shrugging to those attempting to dissuade her. "I don't really want power so much as to find out what it might be like. Taking a chance is what made me a hunter, so why not take another?"

AND THEN SAM! She kirakira'd at her. Had Solia found a new sempai????

Of course.... Nothing was that easy.


She suddenly wasn't sure if chance was a good idea. "....." As Jason joined her, Solia felt a sudden wave of worry. "Um, Jason..." Gently she tugged on his sleeve. "Are you sure this is your choice? I mean.. Um..." She leaned on him slightly.

"....Is this what you want?"

"Also we have a bargain that still needs to be fulfilled Mimsy, Though if you're so keen on taking the next portal out...I'll be sure to tell Kostya and take care of him while you're out finding the 'Truth' " Dakota grinned at her, stuff his hands into his pockets.

Rep snorted as people tried to convince the "Justice seekers" to stay behind. He didn't see the point, he had a zero tolerance policy as far as loyalty went, anyone betraying that wether in the form of infidelity or a lack of conviction became abhorrent in the redhead's eyes.

Melvin would be flat out lying if he didn't look at the portal and felt some urge to see what it was all about. However, there was no promise or evidence this was better than staying here. So far, a figure called O, who clearly was pissing off the leads, went off sending notes, gathering everyone to throw hate and mistrust in all directions, hide behind a intercom, and threatened not only the people in the room but innocent bystanders. This was not the work of a sane person, and whoever it was got flustered when accused or things didn't work out there way. In short - crazy.

While the leads weren't as same, namely this Allan guy and Caelius, they had shown in missions that they could take on the big monsters and help them all escape from harm. They had a history of protecting hunters.

Curious as he was to find out what was behind that portal, the mystery was not enough to make him risk everything. He liked the security of behind behind others, and seeing as the leads weren't panicking or even stopped texting, he felt a bit comfortable that these people could stop a bomb. He'd seen them do some pretty crazy, amazing magic in his short stay here. While he wasn't completely loyal, he felt his best chances of survival were with people he knew and were far more powerful than him.

This crazy intercom voice could bring the entire facility down, but what if it was a one time deal just for show? Also, it all came down to this man being more of a criminal who wanted to cause terror and mistrust among the ranks and the leads - a chaos element wanting to create a new world order. Typically in history, those people were not the most morally right people to follow.

At least the ticking "bomb" had been a portal, but who was to say what might happen to them once this crazy guy did or didn't get what he wanted?

Dakota's analogy made Mimsy shift in annoyance, her jaw clenched through the entirety of his words. She wasn't sure what she had expected him to say; this sounded about right.

"I have no desire to beat a dead horse. I would wager that the majority of us here feel the same way; after all, we followed the instructions of messages that led to the past. Regardless, my intention is - staying with your equine analogy - to attempt an autopsy. To find out how this happened, and how it might not happen in the future. None of this is my forte, but nothing here can be, save the..." she trailed off, wondering if she should even bother saying 'space program'. Ultimately, she decided against it, distracted by his reminder.

She froze, grip tightening around her papers until they began crinkling audibly.

"Dakota." Her tone was as rigid as she was, now devoid of any amusement. "I still intend to hold up my end of our bargain, but-" Her voice cracked, and she took a deep breath before continuing. "You will not touch him. This is about me. Not him."

"Funny thing about the past Mimsy, it often comes to bite you in the a**. More often than not. That's what this guy is after, Biting of the a**." He hopped over the tables to the center of the room, leaning a little bit down since she was dwarfed by him only by a half a foot before raising his eyebrow.

"And how do you think Kostya will be when his only friend here, the only person he trust goes off to god knows where." He reached out to tip her chin up and tap it. "I'd think in the pursuit of knowledge, you'd take the consequences of your actions as well. You leave, you leave Kostya. You leave Kostya and he's left with the rest of us hunters, And with the rest of his hunters...when you return do you think he'll be the same?" He was hovering super close before crushing his mouth to hers just because he could.

Then stepped out of range should she get violent and back away from the center of the room. "Food for thought Mimsy. While you're shelling out the horse, the rest of us remember that the only horse we need to care about are the ones that are killing humans. In case you forgot, The apcolapyse is still under way babe." Dakota saluted her and shrugged.

And again he was circling why he was compelled to make Mimsy stay. if she wanted to leave, then let her. He was certainly not trying hard to make Solia or Jason stay. Probably a guilty conciense over Kostya Moon Brother.

"Also our Bargain still stands, and unless you fulfill it, we don't have a bargain at all."

Something silver flashed in the space between Mimsy and Dakota. A weapon -! There was a crunch as the teeth of the sawblade dug right into the floor. It was probably the least expensive property damage Deus Ex was dealing with right now.

Lost to their argument, they had not seen him stand, nor pick up the blade that had been lying in front of him the whole time begging to be used. But if it served to prevent one more pointless death then he was doing the job he thought he had. He kept one hand on her curled horn handle, white-knuckled.

"You made choice. Leave her." Not that he stood a chance against Dakota, but he was sick of being torn and confused. This was a welcome distraction from certain death.

To Mimsy, he only gave a long look of worry that he didn't know what to do next.

The doctor leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled and eyes assessing.

Edith had her arms crossed and she spoke quietly to Charlotte about damage, repairs, and shenanigans.

Simon stared, expressionless save for a hint of calculation as he watched the proceedings from his position in front of Allan.

Clarice beamed in approval at Harrison and several other hunters, then texted a picture of Grumpy Cat with a comment that she had painstakingly crafted over the past twenty minutes to maximize her seeming humor and charm.

Dwight had his hand in Mark's pants. He just knew that a*****e was the one who "borrowed" his runic lightsaber prototype. He thought he had found it briefly, but the sound that came from the Death assistant when he grabbed for it indicated not.

Deryk was disappointed to see those going to the darkside, though he soon realized something was going on nearby.

"...Dwight.. Dwight what are yo--"

He stopped himself when he heard Mark make a noise.

Did he really want to ask?

He wasn't sure about this.

What was he doing? That was a good question. Jason looked up at Jerry, his mind waving between two points as a gentle tug caught his attention with another, equally important question.

"What do I want?" He said to Solia, his expression clearly worried as he embraced her softly. "What I want is for this stupid mess to be over and done with..." He closed his eyes, looking pained as he let her go, but still held onto her hand as he looked at Jerry sadly.

"I don't understand Jerry." He said to the sun hunter. "I don't understand why any of this is happening. It's so pathetic, isn't it? To see us arguing amongst ourselves over such a heinous act. And yet the people who should be doing something about it..they're just sitting here....They're not doing anything." It was as if he was looking to Jerry for a answer, for a reason behind this madness.

He wanted to know what had caused all this. But as he looked towards all the other hunters, he felt himself wavering.

"I'm...I'm not trying to find power or anything like that..I swear..." He lowered his head, fisting his hands as he tried to keep them from shaking. "I just want this to stop, to go back to what we should be doing..."
