((Kyiana, he's probably talking about other doors inside the Mansion. Besides, Xol made sure the front doors aren't a problem for anyone anymore.))

The only reason Tacitus was forcing such direct focus of himself was the fact he was unaware of the situation at hand. The two large shells shimmer in their field of stopped time before their coordinates were redirected by means of a sort of instant transmission through not only time, but space as well. Their target location was quite simple, positioned such that a return to sender effect would be optimized. Arriving at this new location the temporal stasis field would no longer be in effect around them. One would hope Jezebel would have fun with her gifts returned, Tac even had a gift receipt somewhere he was sure would work.
During this simple action Tacitus seemed to twist in the air, dissolving away into a similar form of instant transmission. When he reappeared he had taken up four positions, each of them facing Jezebel thirty and sixty degrees to the left and right along the horizontal axis of her sights from where he had been standing with no change in height. Scans would reveal they were all the same, for indeed they were. Somehow he had managed to copy himself, or so it seemed. Each of them held their pistols in hand, tubes of metal darting into his flesh to weave in and out as they traced up his arms. He did not like getting shot at, never had, so the idea of putting a bullet to this thing moved up a few slots on his list.

Well then... isn't this interesting... The voice was raspy and distant, stroking across the wind without discretion. It would seem to wrap secretly around the air of any who heard, as if meant only for them. Have you come for me, Mr. Ghost, the defiant memory? A soft chuckle accompanied the voice, and from the bloody muck of Jezebel's feet rose an ancient relic. The shape of the mud-encrusted item suggested a blade of sorts, a gunblade even.
Let Taquito dance with one who was not bound by time nor space, a less than ectoplasmic resounding echo of waves long past. Let him target that which he could not see, feel, or possibly understand.
And let him completely disregard the some fourty or so figures sitting upon Jezebel's shoulers and arms. "Pssh. Slow asses, and that's saying a lot for a time mage..." One remarked lazily, magnum resting in his lap as he glanced skywards. "That's not nice." K scolded, only to have Heritage pat him atop the head.
When it came to alternate realities, multiple beings, crossing time and space, and basically ******** logic square in the face, no one had as much experience as KB and his numerous reincarnations.
And so the two shells would strike Jezebel square in the chest, throwing her back some thirty feet or so. Feet planted to the earth she slid along them, gouging twin pairs of trenches into the soft ground of the lakebed.Blood splattered her face inside the cockpit as the dust cleared, a large gouge cut into the black steel plates of Blood Wing's chest.
Shaking her head softly, she couldn't help but wonder why numerous people were sitting on her, seemingly unphased by the shells that had just slammed into her, Her aim was perfect, and so she was angry at this man.
1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3.
The sword was unscathed, and ready.

Xol Usually he wasn't easily arroused, but having Sai's legs wrapped around his waist put him in a heightened sense of bliss. He wasn't quite sure if it was because of being in an increasingy populated area or just because it was Sairys. More than likely a little of both, he assumed.
With a sudden jerk, the top half of Sai's clothes would come off and be tossed to the side. His left arm would gently cradle her a** as the right gauntlet fizzled away and he ran his fingers through the hair at the back of her head. Xol then nuzzled her face and began to gently nibble on her neck. So many things were going through her mind at The moment, As she had to stay faithful to T, yet Keep her word to Focht to help His side for BC. Sai Glanced down at the moment the Top half of her Dress would be torn off, by Xol. She closed her eyes and turned her face gently offering him her neck. A familair Scent Reached her as she opened her eyes to see a blur image of Focht leap off. She felt Guilty of what she was doing, but it was either Hurt someone she loved for get torn limb by limb.
Reaching her arms around Xol's neck to help keep herself up, Skin slowly crawled its away over her guanlet hand, so that her soft hands where was Xol would feel Hanging on Not cold metal on her left arm.
Sai's hounds from outside vanished as jezabel landed, and scaning to feel the others that have arrived. The hounds vanished and appeared near the door in the shadows, to alert Sai or Xol of any disturbances.

Dawn was in a slight panicked state as suddenly all hell broke loose. In a matter of seconds, shells had come at them, only to stop and vanish, a wall had blown apart nearby as something flew by, and to top it off the two people had begun to make out behind him even as several people slipped past. This is nuts... he thought bitterly as he drew his blade softly and moved down the steps so as to position himself between Misu and the people outside. The people inside seemed to be busy at the moment, so the ones who were closing in were now his priority. Channeling his energy into his blade it would shimmer slightly, as he watched the one who had caught the bullets engage the twisted mech creature...

From a window in an empty room, a roar sounded and an image of Ryuga could be seen in the window...but without him being in the room itself...in the normal dimension. Soon he walked towards where it seemed to have him slowly slip through the window and become physical in normal space and time. The roar from the window faded away and Ryuga looked about the empty room a bit. He than heard some sounds and slowly walked down toward the place it was coming from, but made certain to keep in the shadows towards it.

The hounds again. He shook his head ruefully. So Sairys wasn't going to help him. It wasn't a big surprise, really. She was too caught up with Xol, and he figured this might happen. Now, how to get out of it?
Z shifted his silver eyes to the couple that approached, wondering who's side they where on. Before he could say anything, though, the commotion going on behind him, near the lake, caught his attention.
His eyes narrowed at what he saw, his brows furrowed with alarm. Things where defiantely way beyond anything he could help. At least, they would be if he didn't resort to drastic measures. He would rather not do that, though. He still hadn't perfected his control over this thing, and so was entirely unpredictable.
One thing was for sure, though. He had to find Draeken, tell him what he was doing here, and find out what he could do to help. Glancing at the obliterated front door and at the hounds guarding it, he decided that was not the best place for him to attempt an entrance.
Z moved around to the side of the house, reverting to his days as a theif to find an entrance. It seemed all the windows and doors he found where either booby-trapped or blocked with magick. He'd have to try to disarm one the traps, then.
Picking what seemed to him to be a fairly isolated window nearer the back of the house, he closed his eyes. He seemed to go into a meditative state, but it was really an old trick he had learned during his travels after leaving the service of the Lady. He'd developed his telekinatic powers to what he once thought was a relatively high level. But seeing these things around him, he was no more powerful than a child.
He heard a click from the window, the trap was sprung. He ducked as a volly of arrows shattered the window glass and embaded themselves in the trees several yards distant. Quickly he climbed throught he window and began searching for Draeken. He obviously wouldn't be downstairds, so he headed for the second floor, searching room by room. Other skills he'd learned as a theif where Shadow and Silence. They masked his physical presence as well as eliminated any sound he might have made.

Focht continued his seemingly meditative state on the roof, his good right eye closed. The patch over his left eye hid the results of his last visit with Mastema, the scarring around the eye had healed for the most part. This was now a waiting game to see how things would unfold. His wolf-like ears were alert, listening. He was glad that there was some privacy on the roof, especially since Sai didn't seem to react to him being there.
When the sonic booms occurred, he had twitched slightly, unsure what to think of the new arrival on the scene that seemed to like to show boat. When the shells had been fired, he had almost expected there to be an explosion as they hit the mansion but didn't seem to mind that there hadn't been one inside the mansion. He smirked alittle, sitting comfortably in his vantage point, enjoying the opening moves of this fight. It was actually kind of a surprise that D hadn't put in an appearance yet but that probably wouldn't last long. With the sound of broken glass and whizzing arrows, one thing was clear, there were multiple parties involved in what was about to happen but sides were unclear.

Cole Eastcott ((Kyiana, he's probably talking about other doors inside the Mansion. Besides, Xol made sure the front doors aren't a problem for anyone anymore.)) ((Precisely. Eru brought them just inside. They still have to bust open the main main door (unless I'm wrong and the mansion doesn't have an outer wall) and go through the rest of the mansion.))

Ryuga had kept to the shadows well and noticed some people in the distant place in the mansion. He watched and waited for whatever could happen. The reflective objects near him had a slight chime to them and he could hear the roar as always through it, he turned towards it than back slowly to his view on the people while keeping hidden.

Tacitus didn't know exactly what to think of the voice, but it hardly caused much to stir in him as he'd had many people speaking to him in their spooky little voices in the years of his life. And while Tacitus hadn't matched KB in terms of numerous incarnations or experiences outside the norm of this world, he was always learning, continually expanding, eternally a student of the 'verse. All KB could do was open his mind, even if he killed him off by some means. He'd been dead before, it wasn't all that special.
The weave of metal up the arms of each of the four men continued, slowly followed by what looked like a fluid metal. His symbiotic type armor was slowly expanding to give greater protection to his form so as to compensate for typical human frailties. Even so, his motion began as but a simple step, dancing upon the air as the shimmering rosepetals fell beneath his feet, each a shade of coral as opposed to the bright orange glow about their feet. They each seemed to scatter, their speed leaving blurred trails as each fired off three rounds from each gun at Jezebel, each one equitable in velocity to that of a railgun.

The sword fell, as if the presence gripping it had let it go, and so it had. Landing on it's point in the muck, the mud-encrusted blade stood there burying some few inches into the soft earth.
Even as it dropped to take it's position the first of the bodies had thrown itself forwards, arms outflung at the advancing figures. The elongated heads of the three pulsed gently as one of their number lashed out telekinetically, slowing the advance of the bullets enough that they slammed painlessly against Blood Wing's armored chest, or simply embedded in the outer flesh there. The psionic of the twelve had simply used his strength to break the initial speed of the bullets, as opposed to trying to stop them which was certainly unrealistic. His frail frame was not that fast.
The insectoid wings upon his back afforded him a gentle glide towards the ground, the robes upon his form untouched by the mud as he landed in one of the trenches. The four wings sprouted from the back of each of the twelve like those of an oversized dragonfly.
And the thirteenth of the twelve landed behind him, a bright young smile flashing up at the four enemies. This child chuckled to himself as his wings twitched, lines of electricity arcing over his fingertips in a brilliant flourish of pure white light. The child of The Stranger and a former member of the BC, he'd come to know his place in the world, even if he was not sure of how.
"Why were they etched there?" He asked himself, regarding quietly the memory of the two letters scratched to the inside of his tube, the one he was birthed and raised in, where he was fed data.
It hardly mattered, for the boy had his curse, just as K had his, and the other boys about him. Fluttering wings buzzed as the smell of fresh ozone wafted off his form, the mud around his form quickly drying under the immense heat. "Orange... you were spray painted orange... I miss you..." He lamented, now regarding a vividly shared memory of Mastema's Citadel.
---
Jezebel was of course confused, though this didn't keep her from activating the beam cannon at her disposal. The single optic lense shifting about the archaic Y-shaped visor flared to life with an unholy glow, and in the next instant loosed a thick purple beam upon the annoyance. With a seven second burst and a range easily matched at this distance, the 5-foot wide line of energy would easily be pointed at the furthest right Tacitus. With a turn of Blood Wing's head it would streak the beam over the four, altering the path to their dodging if need be. As long as one or two were destroyed Jezebel would be happy.
She cursed KB loudly inside her mech, wondering why the b*****d had sent her children instead of real support.

Xol was moments away from dropping his slacks before he realized there were now quite a bit more threats in the area. This area was getting real hot, real fast. With a sly grin, he moved his hands up Sai's arms and pinned them to the wall above her head. Leaving one hand to keep her arms in place his slid the other around her neck.
"You got my blood boiling Sairys my dear, but this is just to keep me occupied after all. Maybe I'll give you the pleasure of finishing what we started some day. I just don't have the time to be screwing a third hand seductress." He rasped, tightening his grip on her neck just enough to cause her to be light headed for a moment.
As suddenly as his assualt had begun, it ended. Xol moved in and kissed Sai passionately on the lips. After a few moments he broke the kiss, but not before biting down hard enough to draw blood from her bottom lip. With a defiant and twisted little chuckle, he let Sai go and pushed off the wall.
Where the ******** was Eru and his troupe of imbeciles? Bah. Xol kneeled down slightly and then exploded upwards in a flash. He dug his gauntlet in to the ceiling and swung over to the second floor. With an abrupt stop he half turned before muttering one word, "Focht..."

Ryuga kept his eyes on the reflective image in the window till he heard a small thud, a landing of feet to floor. He turned his head in a nice clean motion and kept himself hidden in the shadow that was by him. The fact he heard something meant someone was close by, and he might be able to enhance his abilities some how. If not find out more about this place he felt drawn to by the mirror dimension. He took a single step foward and slowly moved to the sound, remaining in the dim litted area he was moving in.
