"Every little bit helps, Tadashi." Minxi smiled, so she liked to inflict a little pain and suffering. She did kinda regret leaving Gamma behind, but she needed to get home. He'd been an amusing diversion.
Another slash of her rod, and the Port of Gambino was gone.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Everyone was screaming. Everyone. The last thing they knew they were careening towards a pillar of light and a giant guy with a chainsaw and the brakes... the brakes did nothing! Tires screeching, people screaming, and a hostage who'd already pissed himself in the trunk. Just what the hell was going on in here!? From the portal a red convertible sportscar practically flew out; hitting the ground with a loud thud and a screech of the wheels as it spun sidelong to a stop roughly 30 feet from where it had entered. Everyone stopped. No more screaming. No more panic. Just a severe state of 'what the ******** style="text-align: center">  "This place... is weird..." And then the airbags went off.

And so it came about that Team RAIF avoided an a**-rapingb***h-slapping of massive proportions.
Hiroshi turned to face them. "Well, it looks like our guards have failed all ready." He glanced at the portal, half-expecting a dozen more to pour out. When no such happened, he held his blade at the ready, patiently awaiting the exit of the car's occupants.

For a second, once his head stopped spinning, he'd take in one of the strangest sights he'd ever seen. Somehow, he had a strong sense of knowledge about what exactly this place was, or what it represented. The lines... those people- what were they do-PFFFFFF.
He struggled for a few moments against the enveloping bag of air, shoving it and gasping for air.
"Christ-"
He managed to worm his left hand over to the holstered, stockless, short-barrel shotgun holstered at his right side. His face looked focused for a second while he made sure he didn't shoot himself and then BLAM- two slugs ripped through the dash behind the rapidly deflating airbag.
"Damn thing almost killed me!"
He tossed his halberd onto the ground outside and looked around, holstering his shotgun.
"You guys okay?"

Minxi looked at the monstrosity like car, "With that thing going against them, even I might be afraid." Stress on the might of course. The crop remained in one hand and flicked against her other hand. A simple tool for a simple job. The crop went to the ground, a small design being drawn on the floor of the disc.

Disa had almost pissed herself during all of the careening and screaming. Almost was the key word there, she was still very much dry, thankfully. The same could not be said for the poor hostage curled in the trunk of the car. He had thoroughly soiled himself. Hunched over in the back seat, clinging to Mopsy, Cottontail, and Floppsy, Disa was quite pleased that the car had stopped moving and hoped it stayed that w... Oh look, pretty green floaty stringy things. eek heart

(( Are we waiting on some GM bossmonster or something? ))
James cut a hole in the airbag covering his face. He had a couple of small throwing knives in the breast of his jacket, one of those easily sufficed. He kept it in his hand, though... never sure exactly what might happen in this goddamn void.
"WE COME IN PEACE!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, because he wasn't sure exactly what the hell is going on and it just made him feel better to be loud in this situation.
"MORE OR LESS!"

"Oh, that's good," Tadashi said. "Now go home. You've nothing to do here, and we're busy."
((Lame, but I'm overwhelmed at the moment.))

For now, he just had to get out of the car. He didn't bother using the door- he climbed out over the side of the stolen convertible, all the while looking at those who were already occupying this strange world with a suspicious eye.
The world was ethereal, to be sure. The strings, anyone familiar with the metaphysical, would represent something obvious- structure. Stryphe wasn't sure what was at stake here, but the never-ending green strings that extended into the void beyond this platform were important. He could feel it.
Just why there was a portal to a place like this on Gaia and what these people were doing here was a mystery. He took the shotgun from it's holster, crack it open once again, and loaded two metal slugs.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, James..."
It didn't take a genius to figure out that the three large beings were guarding the portal for a reason. The people already here didn't want anyone else coming in- which meant they didn't want to be disturbed.
Or maybe 'stopped' was a better word?
James would have to do the talking- Stryphe had put the situation together in his own way. From this point on, his suspicion would be worn completely on his sleeve. Anything that came out of his mouth from this point on would be either interrogative, offensive, or both.

Now that was quite a tone... from both of them.
He finally took a good look around the place and saw something more than 'weird'... For once they were in Stryphe's court. James didn't know jack s**t about this metaphysical stuff. He just knew about the good old familiar physical.
And his gut was telling him these guys were messing with something they shouldn't be.
"...I wouldn't be so sure of that either..."
He muttered it under his breath, but loud enough for everyone in the car to hear. The knife in his hand rammed into the seat back beside him; somewhere to stick it so that it wouldn't move.
And he revved the engine.
"I TAKE THAT BACK. WE COME IN WAR."

Had no one ever heard the phrase, 'Make love, not war'? Apparently her team hadn't. Disa wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but she had a pretty good idea. "I'm sorry we got you into this Fluffy," was all she said as she prepared herself to do whatever necessary maneunver she would need to do depending on what James decided to do next. "I suggest you be ready to duck or jump," she whispered to Fluffy.

Before he jumped in the car and started causing a ruckus in such a place, he had to make sure of one thing. He holstered the gun, swept his halberd up off the ground and cupped a single hand around his mouth.
He called out to the smoking, yelling above the roar of the engine who'd told them to leave. He looked to the others with him, letting them know it was fine for them to answer the question, if they wanted to. Truly, he was completely bewildered. Not knowing what asking would get him, he just knew he had to. Normally he'd start kicking a**, but he had a great respect and almost fear of what this realm might mean. And so he had to ask- he had to know.
"Just what the HELL are you people doing in a place like this?"
If the man didn't want to tell them, they'd have to force an answer out- carefully. Stryphe'd make sure of that. He'd wait for an answer before he jumped into the car.

"This -have- to be your fellows, aren't they Hiroshi?" Minxi all but rolled her eyes as she looked at the monstrosity again. "Gallant heroes to save the day and they see something they don't understand so obviously it must be evil and therefore vanquished."
The riding crop slid along the ground,finishing the design and as it did so a film of red smoke appeared, materializing and solidifying into a creature bigger than the car itself, most notably when you took into account the giant club that was resting over his shoulder and ready to smash anything in it's path. Although his body seemed of pure stone, with 4 horns atop his meaty head, and eyes that squinched as he looked at the car.

"Enough talk!"
Hiroshi charged towards the car, his blade held to his right side, pointed up.
