A blackout? Not too much of a problem. Well, it would be if the others didn't know what to expect.
"Not to worry, gentlemen. And lady," Nathan amended, nodding towards Luna. "The majority of the backup systems are solar powered. Even with the generators destroyed, there will still be running lights for several hours, in addition to the major systems. We could always do this during the daylight hours as well, but I'm not too fond of the military descending upon us. I'm in enough trouble as it stands now, being bait at all." Indeed, Nathan had accepted all the risks the moment he stepped onto school grounds.

"Now Alec, I truly appreciate what you're doing here, what with the Fire Bulb and the headsets. I'm only human and that's why I'd like Ophiuchus to come with me, but..." Nathan pulled on a chain around his neck, and pulled up a beautiful pearl-like pendant from under his shirt. The pendant shimmered with dragon's magic. "I have a lifeline if all goes awry."

Luna frowned slightly when Nathan when Nathan addressed only the men, but smiled when he mentioned her soon after.

Luna was really starting to get behind this plan! If she went with Alec, they'd have to do some fighting, which she didn't mind, but it would draw her away from being able to find Ialo on her own. She figured that Alec was only looking out for her and didn't want her off on her own, which she could appreciate, but it still didn't work to her best interests. But then Luna remembered that fighting was generally very noisy and chaotic, and people sometimes got separated during such encounters. A small smile formed on Luna's lips as her own little deviation from the plan formed in her head. For the time being, she would go along for the ride and help out how she could, but she would do what she needed to do once she was inside.


Alec smiled at Nathan as well, glad that he sorted out Aurora's concern. Alec raised his eyebrow slightly when Nathan pulled out his pendant and simply chuckled at how well things were coming together. "Well, it never hurts to be too careful now does it?" Alec then looked at the board and tried to think of anything he might have missed. As he thought about the generator, something else came to him that might help them out even more. "I just thought of something. If Ialo is hooked up to some kinda sedative where he's being held, and we cut the power, that will short out the machinery keeping him under for a short moment. It won't be much, but it might be enough to make Ialo come out of it for a second. He might be able to figure out what's going on, and maybe even be able to help himself get loose on his own. It's a long shot, and I wouldn't bet on it, but it could happen." Alec smirked at his own thought process, hardly believing he just gave everyone a solid reason for his original plan. "So it looks like cutting the main power is a must now."

Alec then looked outside, noting that the sun had already begun to make it's final descent for the day. It would be dark within the next hour, the perfect time for them to strike. Alec simply looked back at everyone and voiced his opinion. "Well, since it's almost dark out, I would suggest we agree on a plan of action soon. All in favor of the plan I've come up with?" Alec raised his hand, hoping the others would like his plan.


Luna raised her hand as well. She liked that she would get a chance to knock some heads and possibly meet up with Ialo all on her own.

Several valves opened up atop the shoulder of Aurora's left gauntlet and began bellowing some sort of vapor at high speeds, making varying whooshing noises relative to the size of the valves. The metallic red shifted to the lustrous blue once more, but now the metal held its newly gained color. Aurora threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped on it half-heartedly.
"I still don't like the idea of cutting the main power, but," the valves continued their strange and almost upset chorus. "We have more important things to address."


Strangely, ethereally, and quite unexpectedly, some strange mysticism began to work upon the ceiling. The tiles began to bend and warp out of form, and then snap back, only to bend and warp once more. As the group stared, the soles of a pair of shoes could eventually be seen to be coming through. As the shoes descended, a figure followed them; this strange being landed abruptly on the floor moments later. Dressed in a fashionable red suit and hiding most of his handsome face with a strange mask reminiscent of bleached bone, the man's dark hair hung rampantly over his face.

"You sonofabitch, you're still alive!?"

"Why of course dear hunter, did you ever expect to kill me?" He smirked slightly. "I, after all, am the one that did the slaying in our last encounter."

"You're dead now you worthless scum." Aurora primed his left arm back as it began to glow with some otherworldly magic, but this being was far too fast. Before anyone could blink, the man was behind Aurora, his seven foot frame holding the bounty hunter nearly a foot in the air in a vicious choke hold. His free hand had shifted itself into an indiscernible shape; all that was clear was that a vicious point was pressed lightly to the hunter's temple.

"Lady and Gentlemen might I excuse this otherworlder's indiscretions and be so bold as to introduce myself to the new faces? The unstoppable, the magnificent, the one and only glorious Riser at your service."

Nathan just stared at the whole scene that unfolded before him. If it weren't for Riser's showy appearance, he would have agreed with Alec. Cutting off the main power was a good idea, not a large blow but sufficient to keep Krauser's goons distracted for some time. And what father didn't adore the idea of son being able to save himself if given the chance? But all those thought were pushed to back of Nathan's mind as he allowed Elain's pendant to slip back between his shirt and his skin.

He leaned forward, hand up and mouth slightly parted to object to Riser's presence and Aurora's outburst. But, Nathan didn't even see Riser move until Aurora was a foot in the air. Even then, Ophiuchus has beat him, teleporting across the room to stand in front of Nathan and loudly objecting.

"Cease and desist, both of you!" the healer commanded. The interior of the room began to glow in green and gold colors, a powerful barrier. It as at least a Class A, perhaps Class S level; intended to seal off the room from the school by altering dimensions. Anyone outside would hear nothing, anyone attempting to look in would only be met with a perpetual stone wall, and anyone who tried to barge in (Such as Ophiuchus did by phasing through or teleporting) would find that room simply did not physically exist for them at the time.

[[404, lol]]

Nathan shirked back a bit, clenching his teeth with nervousness. There were some things his son refused to talk about, even with him. Was this Riser then, perhaps the owner of the name that Nathan would hear curses being thrown at in the middle of the night back in the summer after his year at MFHS?

Ophiuchus glared at Riser. "Put. My ally. Down." He paused. "Unharmed, preferably. And afterwards, explaining your motivation for tonight would be a nice courtesy."

As Riser dropped Aurora, he merely spit in Ophiuchus' face. "You disgust me as much as ever serpent." He stepped back and sat upon a desk casually. "Motivation? Ah, yes. Well, I've been picking up on some rather unsatisfying vibes from little Ialo for quite a time now and have been contemplating action. After listening in on your little 'plan' by means of my now very weak, but still existent, bond with our fine mademoiselle over there, I came to the conclusion that you imbeciles will only get yourselves killed."
He stood up, and casually planted his lengthy leg into Aurora's chest, sending him flying across the room. "I offer to you peons, a rather gracious and momentary offer. An offer, that is to say, that would benefit all of us."
That terrible right eye of his, obscured by the mask, began to glow once more, bathing the room in an eerie purple. "Allow me to aid you in your raid of the Enlil Corp. and the rescue of my favorite little half-breed."

It was the strangest thing. Luna knew for a fact that she had never met this man before, yet she felt that she should know him. It was like trying to remember that one actor from that one movie that you know you know but you just can't place. But one thing Luna did know for sure was that she had a deep loathing for this man. She wasn't sure why, but right now she really didn't care since this Riser character just made a royal a** of himself. Luna decided to lash out at this guy, despite him showing some impressive skills. "Excuse me? Who do you think you are, acting like you know me? I've never met you before in my life!"

Alec was also royally pissed at Riser for not only being the upteenth person to barge into his room uninvited, but also just being an a** in general. Alec simply held his chin in mock thought as he adressed Riser's offer to help. "Hmmm, lets see. First, you barge in here uninvited, attack someone who genuinely wants to help out, announce yourself to be a royal pri*k with vanity issues, insult both our skill and intelligence levels, act like you own the place, set everyone else on edge, tell us you've been eavesdropping as well, and then offer to help?" Alec just gave a short "Hm" as he segwayed into his next statement. Alec spoke in the most courteous tone he could muster under the circumstances. "Thank you for the offer. And please, don't take this the wrong way, but would you kindly... fall in a well, break your neck, and f*ck yourself in the process?" Alec simply stood where he was, arms crossed and eyes glared, waiting to see how Riser would respond to such treatment.

Luna just snorted at Alec's suggestion, whole-heartedly agreeing with the man. "What he said."

Riser grinned devilishly as Luna barked at him. "Oh, of course dear. I must have mistaken you for that other wolf with a fetish for half-dragons. Never you mind how I know you, just trust that I do."

He now turned his attention to Alec. "Ah yes, the new meat. I suppose you haven't been versed in my history, eh? Hell, they didn't even tell you about me did they?" He laughed to himself callously. "Of course they didn't. My name is cursed here, and those unlucky enough to have seen my wrath fear my presence above all others."
It was instantaneous. The man in the red suit shot across the room at lightning pace, and now held Alec's throat in his right hand with a vicious grip. Alec's thrashed and kicked, desperately searching for the floor they could not remember leaving; his face was becoming a deep red.
"Do you know why I insulted your intelligence and skill?" His grip tightened, Alec coughed slightly. "It's because I have the right to." His eye was still glowing, and it now began to work its sorcery. To Alec, the room, the reality behind his assailant began to swirl, and twist, and distort, and ever so slowly it began to melt away.
Riser tightened his grip one last vicious time, and dropped Alec flat onto the floor as the room came spinning back to its true form.

Luna couldn't help but utter a growl at Riser as he continued to insult her and those around him. This guy was getting on her last nerve. But Luna decided to not do anything to piss him off, especially after she saw what he did to Alec next.

Alec sat there coughing, still glaring at the ground. But once he got his breathing back, Alec did something that nobody expected. He actually started to chuckle! After a minute the chuckles grew into a deep, low laughter. Alec continued to laugh for a minute before he composed himself and looked Riser square in the eye. "You power hungry idiots always fall for the same old trick." And that was when things really got strange.

Alec's body continued to stay on the floor, yet his skin color changed. It went from it's normal, healthy pink to a rather dark brown. And it didn't stop with his skin, Alec's entire body turned the color of fresh earth! Soon it became clear that Alec was in fact turning into earth, rather than just being covered by it. And as soon as Alec's entire body was made out of earth and rock, something nobody really expected. It began to disintegrate! Within moments Alec's body had dissolved into dust that just lied on the floor, completely lifeless. It was then that Alec's voice could be heard throughout the entire room. It was coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. His voice also had a very strange tone to it, one that sounded like it was multiple voices talking at the same time, each laden with power. "Let me be frank. I don't trust you Mr. Riser, especially if you're implying that you're the one responsible for making me rebuild the school. I don't trust your character, and far less your motives. And if you think you can take me out with one well placed strike, you really need to rethink your strategy. So I will say it again, p*ss off. I don't want you within 10,000 miles of this school or anyone associated with it."


Luna could only stare around the room in shock as she witnessed what had happened to Alec's body. She was genuinely afraid that Riser had actually killed him! But when Alec's voice was heard throughout the room in that new, warped tone, Luna was both comforted and afraid by it's sound. She was comforted because it was Alec's voice talking, and she knew that he meant no harm to her or anyone in the room besides Riser, yet she felt fear at the sheer power she could detect from her sensitive hearing. Even a human would be able to hear the sheer strength and awe emanating from Alec's new voice.

Riser merely slapped his hand upon his forehead in a gesture of annoyance. "Oh you mortals and your ******** parlor tricks." In an instant, the energy emanating from Riser erupted and overshadowed Alec's with a deep-seated malice only to draw back to it's original state.
"I'm not here to fight, and believe me when I say that if I were, the only formidable one in this room, the only one that would be alive at the moment, is that healing serpent."
He paced anxiously around the room; he was becoming agitated. "I need the Enlil child back as much as any of you, and as much as it sickens me, there is no rational reason why we cannot aid each other in this venture."

"Guilty as charged," Ophiuchus remarked when he was mentioned.

Nathan scowled, the first truly negative expression he had worn since arriving. This was getting ridiculous. A curious student, he could handle. A bounty hunter, he could handle. Taking an extra half hour to draw up some plans that wouldn't get them killed in the first three seconds, he could handle. Hell, it wasn't even Riser's presence that he minded. It was how everyone was arguing like children. Was this how people with magical skills settled their differences?

Nathan spoke up before anyone else could interrupt. "Well then!" He said quickly. "That makes six of us, and I think that's good enough. Now since you are all clearly capable of amazing things... Surely you have equally amazing common sense, no? No. Don't bother answering. If you do, I'll have to flip a coin and decide whether to quote the Beatles or the Bible."
PostPosted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 4:37 pm


((lmao, I have to quote you on that Beatles crack Lizz. Classic!))

Alec had to admit, they were losing time with this senseless arguing. And since Riser was adamant about his position, and Nathan was getting rather peeved about everything, Alec decided to allow the chips to fall where they may. For now, at least. Alec's voice remained angry as he spoke once more, still holding it's previous tone of multiple voices. "...fine, we'll keep going. But I still don't trust this a** wipe." Alec then descended out of the ceiling in a flash of light, but a very abnormal light. It seemed to be both pitch black and bright white at the same time. The light seemed to distort what was around it, making it bend and skew in ways that it shouldn't. But this was hardly noticeable since the light faded away a split second later and Alec was left standing there with his arms crossed and his glare just as steady as ever.

Luna was also rather miffed about the situation. But she also had to agree that they were wasting time. Precious time, time that could not be recovered, time that she could be using to kick some serious a** and try to find Ialo. Luna's voice had a low growl in it as she spoke. "Fine. We'll let him come. But I don't want him anywhere near Ialo."

Alec nodded his head solemnly at Luna's statement. "I second that."

((ok, i'm going to start very broadly here since i'm still figuring out whats going on...))

Tamora walked down the school hallway, swinging her hips avidly, swinging a parasol from her finger in wide circles. She looked around with her silver eyes and found nothing to entertain her. She sighed and turned around, now walking backward and still swinging her parasol. "Dearest Rafael, I fear that i am irreversibly stuck in a state of boredom. There is nothing to play with!" she pouted with puppy eyes at her twin brother.
Alexander watched Tamora with a small smile upon his lips and chuckled to himself as she spoke of boredom. "I am always here for you to play with, sweet Belladona," he said, caressing her face with a soft touch. 'I am always your plaything."
Tamora smiled with enjoyment, "So you are, my angel of death. How could I forget." Her smile spread and she touched his face as he was touching hers. "And what a wonderful little plaything you are," she kissed him lightly on the lips and continued to walk backwards, giggling to herself.
"Come, we have fellow students to terrorize," she winked and threw her head back in a laugh.

Alexander smirked and followed her, watching her as if she was the only thing in the world. He laughed a little to himself at her evil demeanor. Oh how he loved the aura of darkness that enveloped her.
