Sitting calmly outside, basking in the suns warmth, sat a man dressed in his typical attire: Short-sleeved, armored shirt, similar armored black pants, black boots, and a dark, hooded cloak over top it all. Currently the hood was not on, revealing the man to have dark hair and crimson eyes. One would also notice a sword poking out from the cloak, strapped to some sort of belt with strange, diamond shaped jewels which glistened with a power of their own. Overall, the mans outfit attracted the heat of the sun extremely well, making the warmth of the sun turn into a more uncomfortable temperature which the man enjoyed.
Faint whisperings seemed to be tugging at his mind today, and so he stood up from the rock he was sitting upon and hopped down from it onto the ground, his boots making a soft thud on the hard-packed, barren dirt. He started back towards the city, his boots causing the dust to poof up slightly around his feet with each step as he gained ground on the city. It had been quite some time since this particular man had seen any sort of adventure, so there was a small amount of excitement growing inside of him, but mostly he was filled with curiosity as to why he personally was being summoned.
Nearing the outskirts of the city he noticed a portal from which the calling seemed especially strong. Eyes glancing around telling him that no one was present, he could sense something around the portal which he had never felt before, which intrigued him. Not hesitating a moment, he stepped into the portal, his vision blurring for half a second before one of his boots exited the portal on the other side, promptly followed by the rest of his leg, and then his entire person.
"Light..."

Zsafira would await the man to gather himself. He was watching her probably fantasizing like the males tended to do when looking at a neko. He came to his proclomation, "Zsafira I need you to gather your squad. The strongest four and go to the gateway of legends. They once spoke of a gateway to a mystical force known as the spark of the tree of life. All historians can say is this tree of life is an entity that has immeasurable power. I need you to retreive the spark of the tree and bring it too me. This will make the differance to unite this realm under one rule at last. Go now."
Zsafira nodded and left taking the scroll with written details from the guard. No one was allowed to come into contact, if their powers was threatening, with the king. She sighed and began to walk to the rooms of her fellows. (this is all those who I said needed to be invited.)

Raven Kanzaki Raven was just a heartbeat behind Light in following his gaze before he dismissed to seek another. The cat-like slit of a pupil to her Emerald optics dilated, taking in the entirety of the scene. The very air seemed to hum with a certain energy of anticipation. Things were shifting, now, and Raven knew that action would soon rain down upon them at any moment, like the clouds she watched, waiting to burst.
"Hubris," she replied aloud to herself, her gaze sweeping along the land before her. "I see energy of a different magnitude. This will be a good Chess match..." Despite being hunkered down with supplies, Raven was ready to begin. She did not bother waiting for Light. She knew exactly what was going, and knew time was not for wasting; there was an intense session of learning to be had.
"A Chess match, huh?"
Light's steps guided him forward in turn with Raven, an untamed smile curving up his lips as he felt the excitement rush through his nerves. Although he did not inhabit this realm he still knew that there were dangerous parts of Heaven. Powerful entities were scattered throughout the realm, although divine they could still rip you apart.
"So are we just pawns or perhaps the-"
Light was cut off by a portal opening up nearby..
Rabid Smurf_x_ ~:'þɹɐƃʎᴎ ɯðþµʎM':~
"Light..."
Wyndom had materialized and appeared just in time. Light was pleased to see that Wyn had answered his call. He knew he'd have to explain to his other soldiers and perhaps to some elders why he kept summoning everyone aside from celestial beings to Heaven's realm. That would just have to wait for another time seeing as him, Raven and now Wyndom would be preoccupied.
"Wyndom, good to see you! This is Raven..there's a lot we have to talk about."
He'd nod to her while looking straight ahead. The clouds started to rumble and darken, a strong spiritual aura and a heavy atmosphere pulsating from the distance. Beyond those clouds was something Light's little group probably shouldn't be approaching. So naturally they just had to poke at it.

Several feet away, Raven finally dropped her supplies down. She glanced over her shoulder and waved, though she felt as though she were already practically next to him. She felt the urge to multitask, a habit she had long-since gotten into. Instead, a soft representation of her accented voice echoed within the newcomer's mind.
<"It is that we are pleased you are here.">

Hells_Ice_Demon Lance awoken to the sunlight in his realm, which after the fight was almost a wasteland... His tower still stood, with minor danmage to it... Lance stood up and realized that Lillium was gone as well, He then looked for Roy, but Roy was now where and Oni was gone too... All Lance had on his mind was that Oni said something about him being the new leader and a contract, Has Kikyo foreseen this, and will this be the chance Lance was waiting for to find Inferno and defeating him... There are many questions as he looked up to the sky... Lance could feel that he was need, but where... Lillium walked around with some food in her arms and looked down at him. "So what are we doing? I mean, are we just gonna stay here or are we going to actually get off of our asses and do something? This is just....boring."

"Feeling is mutual," said Wyndom, nodding at Light. Hearing a voice inside his head caught Wyndom off guard a bit, making him glance over at Raven. Seeing her wave and not sure if he could simply reply by thinking or not, he nodded again, "Good to be here."
Wyndom had many questions for Light, mainly why he was chosen to come here. What were they up against? Wyndom was sure Light wouldn't have called him in such a manner for small talk. Where was this realm...on that matter, what was this realm? Time would tell, he guessed...
Wyndom wasn't much for talking in the first place, and he noticed Light gazing off at the clouds in the distance...what was Wyndom getting himself into this time? Whatever it was, his curiosity and excitement had surely doubled in anticipation.

Light set his bags down as well before mouthing the words Raven had projected into Wyn's mind. How strange it must have looked but Wyndom had glanced Raven's way as Light's lips moved. It was only when he had done the act that he realized what had been said. Regardless...
"I bet you're wondering where "Here" is."
Light took his shades down from his head to clean them for little known reason. As he did he'd look to Wyn and continue on, "We're in Heaven's realm right now. I've summoned you here because I need people to strengthen it's forces. I've recently been made leader here...and I need people I can thoroughly trust both in and out of battle.
We're at war with Hell and an Earthly force known as the Cruix. Hell is in the same situation as Heaven is, last I heard. Their forces were scattered and weakened too. The Cruix however is our biggest threat. They have very powerful members...two of whom you know, Wyn. While Heaven and Hell are naturally balanced, the presences of the Cruix has disrupted everything. It's a fight for stability and...."
Light put his shades back up on top of his head, sighing at the thought that he knew three people could not go into this war. Although they were all strong in their own right, this time the odds were working against them.
"Anyway, Raven and I were about to go train. You came just in time too..."
Light looked to his hand and then to Raven. She would become conscious of the power radiating from her body just as it was from Light's. The light here was divine and it's radiation was special...but it still had time to fully develop into something useful. This was only the spark to Light's ambition...this was only the start to combating his enemies.

Raven nodded slowly, glancing from Wyndom to Light. She could feel a deep excitement welling. She knew it was reckless not to think of the dangers. She had ambitions of understanding the Elementalist aspect of her power. Raven was eager to test out the new abilities they'd be training with. As Peacekeeper, she felt an un-satiated need for balance.
She knew that in order to understand Chaos and its energy, she would have to delve into the darker part of her mind, where Chaos was dominant with base Instinct. She could feel her own power, as though it were reflecting to her from Light's own gaze and mind. She could feel the strength of all three of them combined. Raven knew that soon, things would be fall into a set rhythm she could practically dance to.

Just in time for training, ehh? thought Wyndom as Light finished speaking. Apparently this was a lot bigger deal then Wyndom first anticipated, so training was definitely called for. New moves were always fun, too.
So they were in Heaven's realm, preparing to launch a spiritual war it seemed. Heaven was quite a bit different then Wyndom thought it would be as a child, he never expected to see dark clouds there, let alone ones emitting spiritual energy levels such as these. Not to mention it seemed that was the trio's destination.
Wyndom was actually looking forward to some training. He had a few new modifications done to some of his toys, plus some interesting -if not far-fetched- ideas with his powers that he hoped to put to use in battles. He was on the verge of unlocking something about Tenbatsu...he just knew it. He had no idea what that was, but once he unlocked it in his sword, his training would serve addition purposes then just gaining power. It would give him more knowledge about his past, and the secrets behind his sword, Tenbatsu.
Wyndom was unconsciously fingering the hilt of his sword which he kept attached to the belt underneath his cloak.
"We headed to those clouds to train, then?
Also...now might not be the time to mention it, but I'm not exactly dressed right for heaven's side, am I? Wearing everything black and all," he joked.

"Black was always my color of choice."
Satisfied that everything was ready, Raven made her way back to the two men, her arms crossing against her ribs. "Then again, when have you ever seen a Panther wear anything but?" To Light, she nodded, "We're all set."

Light could only smile as he listened to the two talk about colors. If fitting in was as easy to accomplish by wearing white then it'd be awfully hard to know who was an enemy. Although Light usually wore white he also wore darker colors beneath it...
"Sounds good."
The angel nodded to Wyn and looked back to Raven to answer them both in his own way. The trio would head onward as planned and start to see just how foreboding the low hanging clouds were appeared to be. The wall of clouds had to stretch as far as several of football fields! Just what and where was Light leading his comrades into?
-
Rumbling with thunder, the clouds would tower over the three warriors as a howling and chilling wind swept out to welcome each fighter. A strong spiritual aura pulsated from within the unknown, an ominous, powerful, and feral screech echoing from beyond the dark veil.
The fighters did not belong here.
-
"......Power has no alignment. Strength isn't a form of good or evil...There are some creatures in this land that can probably obliterate us with ease."
Light spoke to his team, his brows arched in concern for the task at hand and from the wind toying with his untamed hair. However there was no use turning back now!
"There should be lower ground beyond these clouds. Within the valleys there should also be our target, Rogziel. Raven, you and I will try not to use elemental abilities which will help us synchronize our bodies, otherwise weapons are okay to use. Aside from that, we'll keep the connection we have up...I suppose telepathy is okay too. Wyndom, you get the most important role; support Raven and me. Whatever abilities you have at your disposal can be used but you have to watch out for your own a**. You've got our lives in your hand so you have to be smart on how you use your skills. However you have control of the field. If you need us to move then we'll move. Jump, and we'll jump, etcetera. I may add more rules later...I may take some away. So with that said...please follow after us."
Light took a deep breath and shifted his shades down over his eyes. Excitement and intimidation both came over the angel as he glanced to Raven. He'd give her a thumbs up, summon Fuuinshin to his left hand and sling his gear over his shoulder before stepping into the clouds.
"Oh shiiii~"
Light's voice faded away as if snatched by whatever was lying in wait within the clouds. As it turned out the clouds were hovering over a cliff that Light failed to notice! The electricity in the clouds made it hard to map out the area within the veil so there was no helping it...gravity would take a hold of the angel but it would not claim total control of him. Light would slam his sword against the earth to drag and slow himself down so that he would stumble instead of 'splat' once he made it to the bottom. He was barely able to see from the dim lights that dance above in the clouds. Ruins were pretty much everywhere...
"Did Rogziel do this...?" Light finished his observations with a spoken thought.

Raven lifted her Scythe from the ground, "Light be car--" It was too late, for he had already disappeared. She rushed after him, already keen of what was ahead of them, and gracefully slipped away underneath the clouds. The span of her wings unfurled with a painful snap, catching the thermals of the clouds; Raven winced, feeling the hollow bones creak. Adjusting the span, she dropped her Lunar Scythe, knowing it would land safely. From her eyes, she saw what Light saw simultaneous to what she saw presently. It was this dual-vision that allowed her to navigate more safely.
A whimsical swirl of light manifested around the palms of her hands, merging together and creating a compact structure. An elongated blade, not quite a sword, and not short enough for a dagger. Two identical she held, for they were Raven's twin dirks. As the woman took the leap from the cliff, the descent was more gentle than Light's unexpected one, yet the jar of steel to rock, and the uneven shift of the ground as she slid had Raven stumbling to the base.
Tucking the right dirk within her belt, Raven quietly slunk around the ruins, until she could feel the familiar pulse of her Scythe. She grasped the dual-shaft, slinging it to rest on the nape of her neck and across her left shoulder. Satisfied, she relinquished the left dirk for her belt. Peering up, she could now see there was an electrical current within the clouds. In the dimness, the woman's nocturnal senses kicked in, her pupils adjusting accordingly. A mild shock came over her: Ruins? In Heaven's Realm? This was fascinating...

Wyndom nodded in acknowledgment to his task of keeping Raven and Light safe. He also noted the electrical clouds, which would be a double edged sword to Wyndom in this training. They would most likely mess with his 'electrical treadmill' which was his prime information gatherer, but at the same time he could harness the raw power of the lightning to use as a destructive force on an enemy if need be.
Wyndom didn't have the foresight Raven did being connected to Light, so Wyndom was unaware of the cliff as well. Lights cry was drowned out in the fury of the storm, and so Wyndom walked casually forward before his footing was suddenly gone! Letting out a momentary sigh which was sucked away quickly, Wyndom would create an air platform beneath himself, letting it have the same speed as he did, and then slowly decreasing his decent until he was not moving. Then, Wyndom lowered the platform to the ground, letting it vanish as he stepped off onto the solid ground, close enough to Light to make him out in the distance.
Wyndom didn't think anything of the ruins in particular. He had never been to Heaven's Realm before, so it didn't seem out of place to him. He sauntered up to Light, not mentioning the cliff as he assumed both Light and Raven knew about it beforehand. Instead he pondered on the creatures which could destroy him with ease, an uncomfortable thought indeed.

What a trip...Light had to remind himself that although Raven could fly he could not. Although the duel layered vision was working out wonderfully! "Much better than I theorized..." Light muttered as he took in the second perspective of the ruins. A sense of fascination came over him and he would smile briefly before pushing his shades back up his head.
Staying fashionable at this point was nothing less than stupid since he could barely see as it was...although with Raven's nocturnal vision, Light could make his way through the darkness well enough. So as Light took a step foward he would have no trouble making out a massive silhouette drop from the skies about 400 feet away.
-
Eight malevolent glowing lights sparked to life, a chilled wind violently swept outwards as Rogziel's wings lowered and lifted slowly yet powerfully. Rogziels frame was colossus and it would make a bone rattling quake as it landed on the ground. A heavy spiritual aura would pulsate from the beast, the trio's ears probably ringing from the thickened atmosphere. Rogziel would lower it's head slowly as it's eyes glowed brighter. The lightning from above would crash down around it, it's front horns now scraping the earth as it's fur crackled and sparked with static.
If Rogziel were to be compared to an earthly animal it would probably most resemble a bull and a rhinoceros fused together. There was no backing out now! It was time to fight!
-
Light turned to Raven and Wyn as he set his backpack down, "I wanted us to capture this thing but it's a bit bigger than I had imagined. I'm guessing no one was ever foolish enough to engage this thing purposefully..."
At least not anyone who was alive, Light finished his thoughts silently and to himself. There were a lot of questions to be answered but now was not the time for inquiries. The three had to act.
"Either way, we'd have to render this thing unconscious. That's the main objective. Killing is easy...the challenge comes from keeping things alive. Although we should expose it's vital points they cannot be our prime targets~"
Light grinned to his comrades before turning back to face Rogziel. He'd approach by walking which would give him and Raven time to observe and formulate a solid plan to close the distance. The cliff walls left plenty of room to move around Rogziel...the general area was large enough to practically get lost in so there was no danger of being cornered easily. The ruins scattered about made for good cover as well. Light's grin would only fade as he thought of his one concern. He just wasn't sure what Rogziel was capable of.
-
Rogziel would lift it's leg up and stomp them down, one after to shake the ground. It knew it could make the very earth scream with terror and it would eradicate anything that dared to oppose it. And to make things worse, large pillars of earth would erect from the ground in a pathway that raced towards the three fighters. If the three couldn't stop stumbling they'd probably be violently slammed with earth.

 Oni sat in his throne unmoving and watched as two of the five fighters he had sent recon teams after formed before him. He would let out a low sigh as he shifted his position in his throne. A somewhat annoyed look would cross over his face as he stared down Vincent and Kestral.
"Kestral Silverdust. Vincent Silverdust. I am sorry to make you wait, but until all that I have sent messengers to have shown up we won't be proceeding. I trust you have no objections to this."
It was clear Oni was growing tired of waiting on Zarrius, Zeiphyr and Negi but unless he were to go out and find them on his own things weren't going to be moving any quicker than they already were.
