Grave stood straight, bringing his right Head up and firing at the man's forehead. He was running low on ammo and this was getting tedious. The fight will be over soon, Grave was certain. He pushed forwards and rushed towards the man. Instead of firing more rounds, he holstered the guns and, just as the missile's black fog engulfed Grave and the surrounding area, he moved into a juggernaut melee formation.
He threw a right hook for the ribs, his left flying in a straight arm at the chest. Grave followed through, elbowing with the same left arm and moving forwards to head butt. His movements weren't slow, but the time it took to execute them seemed stalling.

Without a second's notice, LaRaine and Zaniii spoke to Izieixie telepathically, questioning her about the group she had traveled with. 'Well, are they safe, can we trust them?' asked Zaniii. 'Yes. They are.' Replied Izieixie. 'Even if they weren't it wouldn't have mattered, we need to return to HQ as soon as possible.' With that, they broke the link as Izieixie approaced Ryuho. "Ryuho, we'd like to come with you, if you wouldn't mind. Also," she whispered to him now, "Don't be too harsh on my friends, they did come all this way just to rescue me."

Dodging his bullets once more, seeing that was all he could do and moved in close to where it would be difficult to fire anything at him, but just as he was about to make his attack on Grave, he noticed that Grave had dropped his guns and came at him head on with his fists and brute strength of that of a juggernaut. Knowing that even pulling this formation of a tactic on him would seem pointless, due to the fact he had fought someone like Grave before, but the results were totally different....Grave was not a god, but a figure of a past life.
Seeing that his movements were slow, but strong and perfect form at that, Koraseru dodged Grave's sluggish attack, by only turning to the side, whirling around into his blind spot and swung his trident at full force toward Grave's lower torso, using his left free hand , he began to trace his index finger in the air, making the atmosphere around them heavy to Grave's body, making Koraseru's attack faster then it shouldn't be.

Smiling at her, "Rescue you? From what exactly? Ahhh.....nevermind if you all are ready, then we should proceed with much haste then.....Jiro give these guys some spirit bands...wouldn't want any strays going about during our passage through the Spirit Realm." said Ryuho as he saw each of them take a band from Jiro and wrapping it tightly around their arms, preparing for immediate departure to the Spirit Realm. "If you're all ready, then we can begin." he called out to them, waiting for some of they're replies.

"I'm ready." Replied Izieixie. "Are you guys?" She asked to her superiors. "I'm ready," said LaRaine in reponse to Izieixie's question but looking at Zaniii. "Are you?" Zaniii uncharacteristically giggled as her and LaRaine started to hold hands. "As ready as I'll ever be," was her response. Izieixie turned away quickly, having no desire to watch whatever those two were doing back there.

"Ya, I'm ready to live." said Kitsuna as she checked the spirit band on her wrist to make sure it's tight.

"Then I will open the gate, Jiro?" called out Ryuho as Jiro nodded in response, opening the twin doors. As they opened a bright light came before them, before the knew it a great rush of wind came before their feet and swept them off their feet and into the bright unknown of the Spirit Realm as they whirled rapidly into all what was nothing, only to hear Ryuho's wild laugh as the doors closed behind them.

Kitsuna laughed with excitement as she was sucked through the gate. She gripped her wrist tight to make sure the band didn't fall. Though she didn't see all of her companions she heard there voices around her.

finally the void coming to a close they soon began to float in the endless emptiness as all they could ever see was nothing but a smoky white around them as they all floated about in the empty air. "Welcome Everyone to the Realm of Spirits." yelled out ryuho as he was floating upside down, smiling at them.

"So this is the spirit realm?" said kitsuna as she floated on her back, gazing into the nothingness. "hmm, not quite what I expected."

"that's because it isn't, we're only at the entrance of this realm...think of it as we're in the front gate of it all. So really this realm could go on forever." replied Ryuho as he floated for what seemed like forever.

"I can't believe yu searched the tunnel, why didn't ask for help." said kitsuna as she tried to balance herself to float. "Why do we have to go through the sprit realm to get to the zodiac society?"

Not answering right away to Kitsuna's question, but quickly came with an answer. "Well you see, can enter it without a band and we need to get this down really quick, so i felt the need to do it myself." he lied. "Also why to take this way, it's faster and saves us the two extra days....and that it's just fun this way." laughed Ryuho as a light wind began to come over them.

He felt a chime as something sharp sliced at his side. Grave spun around, swinging his right arm for the man's face. His body held the blade firmly, pinching the trident and keeping it lodged in his body. There was no blood, more like a clay structure as hard as stone. Grave gripped the handle with his left hand, his right taking the opening and, in what seemed an instant, he drew the right Head. He fired several rounds for the man's torso, black smoke forming a somewhat thick residue over everything. It was strange that a missile of that size made such a little explosion, yet so much smog.
Unless.
Drake sat in the courtyard of his home, staring into the darkness of the astral plane. The magic shielding cast light over his floating castle, but not enough to illuminate the darkness of the Astral Realm. Dreadful spirits roamed outside, some trying to break through the barrier that denied entry.
He held a glass of wine, sipping it's contents while he kept track of everyone's progress. Ryuho was leading his 'friends' somewhere by some unnecessary route while Shadowstep continued to carry out contracts. Drake glanced over to the little girl before him playing with goblins, his awaited 'minions' who would sacrifice their lives for his satisfaction.
"A pitiful existence..." Drake sighed with a frown, the images floating before him shifted characters and angles over time. "I hope they can feel my eyes peering over them. Makes me wonder if I should do something."

Kitsuna gently let the wind glide her about. "Right... so which way do we go. They look the same. " she asked kind of unconvinced.
