"... gyaaaaah!"
Thud.
With all the tact and subtlety of a rock, Rage seemed to simply pop out of thin air above the inside entrance of the temple, just barely managing to land on his feet due to some quick air maneuvering, although he stumbled a bit before he could get his balance again. He was only wearing jeans - which were soaked - and sandals, but for whatever reason a glowing green fairy was hovering around his head, although after a few moments it sat quietly on his shoulder.
Recognizing several faces (but really not caring at the moment) Rage sat up agains the wall next to the entryway. He seemed pretty content in just sitting there and making sure all his limbs work, but he seemed to be taking great care in making sure he was "all there" so to speak - which was important to him since he had spent a fair ammount of time as a woman up until a few moments ago. At this point he could do nothing but hope that Owle was doing well. If he was back at the temple and safe, surely Owle would be too, right?
He could only hope at this point....

Sam looked up as Flare appeared, her eyes narrowing. Setting Leon down gently in the sand, she got up and moved towards the demoness. She had gotten about 5 feet before Rage appeared. She didn't remember him.
Surely there was only...no..no surelys here...Nothing was constant. She looked at him...and then the fairy...And sighed. There was no point in making drama over last consquences. Her shoulders drooping, she made her way back towards Conrad and Leon.
..Only to spot Leon not there...
"WHERE THE ******** IS MY VP!!"

Tabi Kat "WHERE THE ******** IS MY VP!!"
At which point Conrad - who just noticed this himself - promptly cracked up in laughter. Fat rolls swam like jelly with each belly arching chuckle. A fist slammed on the arm of his lawn chair in far too good nature.
If someone were perceptive enough to notice - they would see the slight rosey twinge to his cheeks. That flush of someone who has been given a bit too much to drink.
"Gwar-har-har." He had such an intereasting laugh. "Everything is falling apart around you eh Browning?" With this said he took another sip from his umbrella-straw of the strong icy red drink.
He was totally unphased - at least in appearance - by all these people appearing. His employees could have been made of stone or extremely powerful sedatives for all the world knew.

Alexiel had been dreaming, a rather nice dream. She was flying on a dragon's back with a rather handsome young man. Sadly, her dream had to end. She couldn't sleep forever.
Slowly, Alex swam up through the dark depths of slumber back to reality and the deadly game that she had been drawn into in her search for Sejai. With a yawn she rubbed the sleep from her eyes before looking around at her surroundings. She was back where she had started, the strange building in the middle of the desert. Neither Kira nor Vahn was anywhere to be seen and yet there were voices coming from around the corner. For a moment, Alexiel paniced.
Where had Vahn gone? Why had he left her there? The bell, was it still in her bag? Had he betrayed her? She looked down at the bags in her grip. Her backpack seemed to have a strange light coming from the small cracks and holes, anywhere that light could escape really.
Quickly, Alex opened her backpack. The bell was still there and it was glowing, a bright yellow glow. He hadn't taken it, then he must have gone in search of other petals. 'Good luck my friend...' Alex thought to herself as she closed her bag once again. The yellow light still escaping.
Alexiel rose to her feet, pulling her backpack on and tossing the saddlebags over her shoulder. It was time to get serious again. Her avian companion had been gone far too long and it was time for him to come home. They had a mission to complete.
'Daemon..' Alex reached out. Alexiel couldn't just reach out and talk to anyone over long distances, she had to have touched the beings mind before and sometimes even the it was hard. But Alex and Dae had been together so long, that for the two of them, it was natural. 'It's time to come back... We have a mission.' With every word Alex spoke she sent mental images because Dae could not completely understand human language, he needed Alex to sort of translate it for him and she did this now, showing him where she was and where he needed to be.
Assured that her companion would return to her as soon as he could and hoping that Vahn was alright, Alex made her way to the corner of the temple, peeking around the edge to where the others stood. The machines she recognized, they had been at the speech given by Rafe. The demoness she had seen as well. One of the women and the fat guy she also recognized, having seen them through Dae's eyes when Sejai had gone to Rafe.
'Might as well find out if any of them know what's going on...' Bags and weapons secure, ready to defend herself at a moments notice, Alex stepped around the side of the building and cautiously made her way toward the group, being sure to leave plenty of space between them and herself at all times.
((O_o I hate playing catch up...))

A young woman child appeared from the mists of the sand. It was Sejai. Her hair was curling about her face and she was dressed strangely. She was wearing a gown that looked more like a cloak, hung from one side with a strange jewel. Beside her was Rafe, also dressed in the same strange clothing of a time gone by. Golden eyes met silver ones as they looked from each other to the group slowly gathering and stepped forward towards the crystal temple.
Sam on the other hand was looking over towards Conrad, feeling more then a little flustered. "Not anymore then your world is messed up, Conrad." She glared at him with such hatred, she didn't even see her 'mechanic' appear with his charge. She dropped to her knees, her fingers digging into the sand, reflexively gripping and releasing. Unseen tears would fall down her face as she wept. "I tried..."
Rafe and Sejai made their way towards her, the man leaning down to pet her on the shoulder. "Your job is done. There is nothing fear." Sejai was holding a nasty looking knife in one hand however, the silvered handle glinting in the light.

Finally uninterested with what the woman had to say, and not yet stabbing the fat one to death yet, Gamma stepped by Sam quietly. Over to the temple wall across the gate from his brother.
No one would be sneaking up on him from behind now, and with the whole crystal proximity thing they were nearest the temple and held the others back. Not a bad strategic advantage.
Each newcomer didn't bother Gamma; he hadn't even seen them but Gammu would have shot them if they were to try anything. Just playing the waiting game now.

The minivan arrived and came to a stop, Charles the Chauffeur, Stryphe the Bossman, and three milk maids of chaotic origin stepped out. It was a force that was.... interesting to behold.

And Dae totally followed Degs to the temple, perching on his master's shoulder, on top of the saddle bags, in a rather tired state, just as Alexiel noticed Sejai.
"Sejai!" Relief and joy swelled within Alex, coming out in her voice and in the tears that started to well up in her eyes. The girl was alive and well... and holding a knife... Relief and joy quickly became confusion and worry.
Alexiel hesitated for a second before starting towards the girl. She could care less about any of the others now. Sejai was there and that was all she needed to know.

Across from his brother and pressed against the wall with his right shoulder Gammu had the shield up to protect his left flank while the MAC shotgun was at the ready. Something told him however that if a fight was to start it would be ended hand to hand.

"Yes?" Flare asked, as the murderous woman approached her. Flare fully appreciated the irony of one like her calling Samantha Browning murderous, but she did it nonetheless.
Then the demoness took an undue interest in the dagger in Sejai's hands. Was the girl going to stab the woman?
"'Lo, Rafe," the demoness said to the man casually. "My sister will be arriving soon."
Her sharp eyes turned to Rage "Speaking of which, weren't you supposed to stay with her?"
Nothing. I did nothing with a little rat man. He gave me a stupid bodice...

From the air, Owle descended, landing beside Flare and Rage. Her eyes immediately locked on Rafe when she saw him; she had no attention to spare for anyone else. She gave him a weak smile, and her hand drifted unconsciously towards her belly.

The girl turned and looked at Alexiel, smiling sadly as she did so. She took and tapped Rafe on the shoulder. He looked from Sam to the girl and nodded. Sejai waved at Alexiel but told her to hold off for now.
Taking Sejai's hand, they walked to the temple as Sam watched them in puzzlement. In front of the doors, she handed him the knife and his fingers caressed the blade even as tears fell from his eyes. Rafe's golden eyes looked around, seeking one person in particular. Once their eyes met, his lips formed the words 'I'm sorry.' Sejai looked over at her as well, a smile on her lips, speaking words only she would hear.
Then with a cry of ravaged pain, Rafe would plunge the dagger into Sejai's chest. With not a sound, the girl would crumple to the ground, her blood spilling out quicker then normal, in fact glowing a faint silver color as it moved around the temple, creating a lake as the players watched, unable to do anything.
Rafe stood there like a man defeated. "Now we await judgement." His words being clearly heard by everyone as he held the girls body in his arms. Once everyone arrived, it would begin.

Gamma watched impassively; they were killing each other. Not as fun but more efficient.
"Hold. This will be interesting." Gamma sent, silently over the comms channel to his brother. Even with the suggestion, Gamma readied his riotgun; crossways from his chest with both hands.

Owle just watched, horror quickly shaping in the pit of her soul. For a moment, she thought he was going to kill himself...
And then, Sejai's words, and...
NO!
This was wrong, this was wrong, this was so wrong...
Dizzily, Owle saw the sand coming up towards her. She didn't even try to stop herself.

Gammu responded with a double click over the comm unit. Shifting his body a bit to increase his field of fire he slowly swept the barrel of the weapon so it would skim along their feet. It kept wavering around the man who had stabbed the lady. War was war, but that was murder, cold blood murder.
