Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sessrumnir grunted as he stumbled but remained upright, lifting his free hand to rub at his shoulder. “No, not really,” he frowned in confusion at the smaller squire, not sure what his deal was. Oh right, this was the sassy one. Go figure.

He turned to look at Ganymede locked inside her cage. She looked like hell, covered in bruises and blood. If it wasn’t for the aura he felt, he would have been sure she was dead. But soon enough she started moving and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Wait,” he told the squire before he could be dragged along with him. “Ganymede… Do you know where Valhalla is?” Because if she knew, it would definitely save them some time. Hopefully she was aware enough to be able to help.

She heard another familiar voice, and Valhalla's name. Ganymede lifted her head as much as she was able. Through blurry vision she saw a figure in green with glowing stones and mahogany hair. It brought tears to her eyes. She whimpered feebly.

“Val...” she said. “Oh, Val...”

It took a moment for the words to process. When they did her tears fell, because this was not Valhalla. She knew that voice. It belonged to Sessrumnir. How had he come to be there? What was going on? Valhalla... he could save Valhalla!

She thought back to the day she'd been brought to Valhalla's cell only to be beaten in front of him, tried to retrace her steps in her mind, but the image was incomplete.

“Val, he's... he's further down the hall. On the right. He's on his knees, chained to the floor. Please hurry, you have to help him. He'll die,” she sobbed and slumped back down to the floor.

CELSUS


He felt angry; and stuck. There was hardly anything that he could do, sitting like this with his arms trapped behind him, barely even able to stand. A full fledged Knight of Chronos, and you still can't do anything, Celsus thought irritatedly, a flash of annoyance creeping through his veins that mingled with the pain and the ache that had settled into his bones.

There were noises around now; a mass of sounds that echoed dimly in his ears, and Celsus swayed a little where he knelt, wondering if it was possible for him to stay conscious long enough to be able to get out of here and help those that would need help.

Or maybe he could just lie on the floor and go to sleep, that seemed like a nice option right about now.

Themiscyra's HP: 47

She'd been ready to try and help the Mercury Squire to get the door open when he uh... pulled her out of the way of in incoming ram. For a split second, the six-foot Martian wasn't paying attention to the fact someone far smaller had just grabbed her out of the impact zone. Green. Fur. Tall. Brown hair. For a split second, a grin split across Themiscyra's face, but the laugh that was about to bubble out choked her, shoulders falling when her brain took in the rest of the Knight's appearance. A different Jupiter knight. A strangled sound came from her before she tore her eyes away from him, looking towards Ganymede. The cat and the other knight were already in with her, with the Mercury Squire helping to open up the... cage.

She caught a glimpse of the blood, got an idea of some of the damage, and her fists clenched. But she was alive. She was alive. They'd get her out, find Val and Kairatos and get the <********> out of that messed up place. Burn it to the ******** ground. When she heard Ganymede speak, her blood ran cold. Chained. The knight with the chain at her hip felt bile rise in her throat. she snarled to the other two knights apparently going for Valhalla, "or I'm leaving you behind." They didn't deserve her anger, the rational part of her brain realized that. But she didn't have anything else to lash out at. No one to punch, nothing to break. She already had a hand curled tight around the golden chain, knuckles white and links and nails digging into her palm. Ganymede wasn't going to be alone. Others were still coming, weren't they? They still had more people to find. But at least they knew where to find Valhalla.

Megrez's HP: 50
Glitnir's HP: 44
Sadachbia's HP: 45

The trio's travels through the maze was filled with a great deal of cursing, at least from Megrez. "******** mazes," she said over and over again.

After much bumbling around, Glitnir emerged at the end of the maze, spotting two cells. "Guys! I found some more cells!" Only then did he realize that the girls were not with him. "Guys? ...s**t." Shooting conflicted glances between the cells and the maze, he eventually went back into the maze to retrieve the senshi. After even more bumbling around, he found the two and led them out of the maze.

"Those bendy mirrors are ruined for me," Sadachbia said as she exited the maze, glad to not see her distorted reflection anymore. From what she could piece together, she wore her "fuku" pretty well. Nothing quite like looking stylish while kicking butt, right? That was, of course, beside the point, but it was nice to see that she didn't look completely stupid.

Glitnir's mind was on more important matters. "Um... guys, you're bleeding. Megrez, you've got a cut on your arm, and Sadachbia, I think that's glass sticking out of your leg."

Sadachbia's eyes went wide as she looked down and saw that Glitnir was right. "Oh god. Just pull it out quickly. Please."

Megrez knelt down to pull the glass out of Sadachbia's leg, wiping a trickle of blood off her arm with her glove. Maybe she could fool a Nega into thinking the blood wasn't hers. "When did this happen? Okay, here we go." Sadachbia yelped when the glass was pulled out of her leg. "That's done. Give it a bit and it should stop stinging." Her gaze shifted to the cells as she decided which one to enter first...

Megrez is hurt in the maze for 1 damage! Glitnir makes it through! Sadachbia is hurt in the maze for 3 damage!

Chaldene HP: 45/50

Once he'd gotten past the tunnels the senshi of wisps continued on his way till he reached the next obstacle, as it seemed there was no one jumping out to attack him - yet. He had to remind himself he could be jumped and attacked at any point and he didn't much like that, it made him feel like some kind of paranoid.

The floor tiles were...moving, no sliding. Rolling his eyes he stepped onto the first tile and started to make his way across them, jumping to each one like some retarded game of Frogger. Oh how this was amusing, all they needed was something from both sides swinging out trying to hit him or something. It seemed his method of jumping to each tile was a good idea as he got across the sliding tiles quickly and landed on the other side and continued on his way. "What next? because this really isn't fun." He huffed out to himself, not at all enjoying himself or this fun house. Would he ever look at a fun house the same way again? "Not likely." He muttered to himself.

(Past the sliding tiles. Anyone can play with him who wants to.)

The general in his attempt to give orders found himself blasted by dollface's arrows. He stumbled back and growled irritatedly only be pelted in the face by a shoe and moments later encased in weird blue beads. He attempted escape of course, but it was useless, so instead he summoned his dagger back to his hand and his crystal to his the other calling for backup.

The little one that trapped him in the beads seemed to have disappeared but the others were still about.

"Dollface, seems you've made friends with the traitor. That's okay. Now I can kill you both, but the little senshi stays here. I think I'd like to add her to my collection."

He tossed his dagger at the dark mirror hard and fast and grinned at a pop beside him knowing help had arrived.

"Oh great one of the ones from the roof," the incoming general said as he quickly strung up three arrows and fired them off at the pair of eternals. To shoot three arrows at once, one had to have precision and great aim, so for now the little senshi wasn't in danger of being hit.

General One took his sword and attempted to break free of his prison.

General One: 31
Atttacking for 10
General Two: 50
Attacking for 3






The captain with the harpoon tip had a special place in his chaos filled heart for Ganymede so when Palatine came to her rescue he stepped out of the shadows.

"You my dear are lovely, but that lovely isn't going anywhere. I think I'd like to feed her another starseed. Maybe you would like to try too. She seemed to like it. Did you lovely?"

He held the harpoon tip tightly in his hand and charged at the pink squire bring the tip down to try to stab her in the thigh.

Captain: 50
Attacking for 1

The purple senshi watched with wide eyes at the pure rage that came from Chariklo, something of a shiver going through her at an uncomfortable reminder of another time. At least there were no visions this time... nothing to cripple her in the middle of battle. She had thought she was working her way through this, but... maybe it would never really go away.

When the DMC came to join her, Ida started and came back to herself, shifting to let the sheer cloth get wrapped tight to stop the blood.

"Its okay, Chari, don't worry about it... It can wait till after we get our people out, I'll be fine." She reached to squeeze one of her friend's hands once she finished the tie off, her eyes turning towards the General. Beads sprang up around him and a tight smile pulled at her lips. Wonderful Athene... they were a team, now and always.

"Come on, now is our chance..." She said as she shifted to move, but the new aura in the room pulled her up short as a second general joined the trapped first. "Look out!"

Ida shouted warning as arrows flew, squirming to dodge them with marginal success... she felt them graze her, cutting fine lines that stung almost as badly as the deeper cut in her shoulder for how shallow they were. Ducking to grab a bit of broken wood from the floor, Ida threw it desperately at the second general, hoping to keep his attention on her.

Attacking General #2 for 1 point!

1 - Rolling Tunnel (stumbled)
2 - Sliding Floor Tiles (stumbled)
3 - Rescuing Pisces
