Tobias considers her for a few seconds. If she really does have a list of targets, he could use them as bait instead. So he should, at least, take certain measures to keep her alive. And if she's to trust his men's ability to protect her, he needs to tell her things he'd rather not be public knowledge. So the druid quietly mutters a spell, creating a glowing dome over the two, shielding them both and preventing any sort of eavesdropping. The elite commandos of a Godslayer are nothing to scoff at. It just so happens that I have a team of professional soldiers, real special operations type, on standby here in the Nexus. Give me the list and I will have the entire team take you to a safehouse and protect you until Enshadu is killed. He takes her knight and wryly smiles. Unless you would like to wager on the outcome of this game? If you can beat me, I will guard you personally. And I am one of the most powerful beings in the Nexus currently.“Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores
iactatam hac demum voluit consistere terra.
Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco.”

Re: [Nexus] Inside 49
[Generic Street]
Grimacing, Sayuri shuts down the barrels on the radiant cannon and leaps back again. This time, she travels even further from Imesah and closer to Ignai, and ends up floating in the middle of the air. She crosses her arms in front of her and the area begins to vibrate. A deep glow emanates from the ring still pointed at Imesah. She starts to shake, charging her weapon with a destructive light, waiting for the last moment to fire.Avatar of Furude Setsuna, by Telasi.Originally Posted by Akagi

Imesah keeps up her strafing maneuver. Sure, Sayuri was floating in the air now, but she had more than a few ways of nullifying that. She knew that the charging was probaby a sign of some attack, so she gets ready to dodge again.

[Sewers - Red Zone]
So Yuki and the other nasty beastie thingy are on a collision course.
The beastie has claws and teeth and various bits and pieces that are undoubtedly unpleasant and is rather big.
...Yuki has a scalpel.
However sharp it may be, there is definitely not enough scalpel to deal with this much beastie nice and quickly.
Conclusion: Yuki is probably screwed. This is substantially less than ideal.
"He has not got it under control." Black observes as it sprints over. There's no way it can get there quickly enough to prevent the two colliding. Instead it intends to charge in and give the beastie an almighty kick to the face...or whatever bit of it is nearest to Black anyway. Being a creation, Black is capable of putting a lot of force behind its actions. As big as the beastie is, Black should be strong enough to send it sprawling across the floor.

"I see the...Nexus is in one of its more chaotic moments, currently." The Cricketbatman idly flicks some blood out of his eyes. "I think Hastur may be underestimating the purple one's chance at succeeding. Time runs short...ponies. I hope you find her in time. I would have no joy in...destroying her if we are left with no other means of stopping her." The Cricketbatman twirls the cricket bat in his hand.
He would appear to be quite serious.
He'd much rather he didn't have to make anything go boom here.

Ignai keeps moving, but she slows herself. She has to calm down, but seeing that maniac come closer doesn't help any. She leans against the wall, closes her eyes, and tries to slow her breathing. It's hard to ignore that the bricks behind her are either melting or cracking and crumbling. At least what fire that already exists isn't spreading.

"Alright, Grey Zone first. Until we find my friends. And then... then we'll try this Riverside," Kailee says, hoping that they don't have an issue with this. Though she seems to realize that this is all going a bit fast - and she's being a bit presumptuous. "Are you two sure about this? Elexxion... they hurt people."
"Sweet little robot army they've got," Adir says, impressed by the towering vigils. The stag floats their hover-pickup toward the Cathedral and hops out, before moving to help Sakura down whether she needs it or not. She's probably pretty pregnant at this point in time.

"I cannot fathom the number, it must be in the hundreds! But I do have a memory from each. Mostly good, some bad. But as the saying goes...we'd never remember the good if we didn't have the bad to define it with."

Sakura's stomach sure is getting big now. She feels huge compared to last time, but what can she expect with twins? The visual difference isn't quite so pronounced. She's moving around well enough still, but she's still happy to accept his help.
The dryad, however, looks quite uncomfortable. She warily eyes the robots and the lifeless grounds. It's all so unsettling, and she can't really explain why. Even if Adir couldn't read it from her expression and body language, the discomfort is clearly broadcasted through their earrings.
"Hi." She says to the man, though not with her usual energy.

"Sounds like a plan, then. My place isn't far, we'll just have to-" Ashley stops when Kailee asks whether or not she's okay with helping. She doesn't take long to answer. "Elexxion can't do much to me. I've been hurt before."

Re: [Nexus] Inside 49

As the crackling of fire on brick grows louder, Sayuri finally takes note of Ignai for a split second. But in that split second, strong emotions can be seen on her face. Anger... awe, perhaps... maybe even a touch of fear...
The charging continues, building up into an amorphous sphere of purest light, perverted for Sayuri's dark ends. She smiles. And fires! Unfortunately for Imesah, it's not a precision attack. In fact, it was likely designed so that only the barest minimum of aiming is required. A searing beam blasts down the street, several meters wide, with an overwhelming force made to hurt, disable and incapacitate anything, but not to kill.Avatar of Furude Setsuna, by Telasi.Originally Posted by Akagi

"Thank you. Both of you," Kailee says, fairly certain that's still the thing to say around here. She creeps toward the mouth of the alley, just as a cadre of soldiers in black armor go marching past. She ducks, avoiding their wandering gaze, before peeking back out to check around. "They're already here. We gotta go."

[Steele Street - Arcane Academy]
Hadlin frowns at the book, but doesn't make any indication of how strange that is; these two have enough to worry about without his own misgivings.
Once arrived at the summoning grounds of the academy, Hadlin will find the nearest acceptable summoning circle and get to work; without the ability to bind these beings, he has no need of any fancy material components. his means that simply 'calling' to them, as it were, is the simplest, easiest, and most effective route.
Let's hope this works properly.
Hadlin will fall silent, not even chanting. He's simply extending the power of his soul out to give a knock on the proverbial door, and give them an open channel to arrive at the ritual grounds.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Re: [Nexus] Inside 49
Generic Street
Imesah barely has time to raise her shield once she realizes that this next attack won't be a ray of some sort. Of course, it doesn't do her much good, and she winces as she's driven back by the light. While it would hurt, disable, or incapacitate any normal person, Imesah is far from normal. So even as pain wracks through her body, she still takes a single step forward. She then, for some odd reason, sheathes her sword and raises her right hand into the air.
That reason is probably revealed when a great bolt of lightning appears in her hand and she throws it directly at Sayuri at a decent speed, though.
Escape From the Red Zone
Ashley curses under her breath. "Right, how will you two react to teleporting?" she mutters as she goes through the steps for that particular spell in her head.

Finding a usable circle shouldn't be that hard!
No doubt due to some magic or another the field is completely free of rain, puddles, snow, or any other bothersome weather phenomena that might interfere with the magic that's practiced here. Nothing worse than having a circle broken because of the ground getting too muddy.
As for Amil!
The wood drake sits down on her haunches in a patch of grass and watches. Her feet are already rooting into the soil and she makes a bit of a sour face at the taste of it. The ground here is tainted with soot, grime, and coal tar. Things can grow it's just... gross...

Soldiers. Armed, uniformed soldiers, practically parading down Remnant's doorstep. Not good doesn't cover it. Wrath didn't even think something like this was possible, not even in the Nexus, where anything's possible. Although...
Well, in a way, it's a good sign, isn't it? If Elexxion's willing to pull this kind of stunt to retrieve Kailee, then they must be absolutely terrified of her or the others escaping.

Anger chomping at him, but Young Star isn't about to stop being a hero. He gives Calvin a heroic smile and a wink. "No... But let's try not to give me ideas."
They'll quickly land on top of a building. "Here's hoping there's a distance to whatever's going on." He claps his hands, though not as powerfully as last time, just a polite punctuation to the shenanigans of before and new topic.
"Well, Hello!" He says, friendly as can be. "I'm Young Star. Superhero, if it isn't obvious. And you my friend are giving off some sort of magical murder aura. What's your name?"

Once he is set down the 16 year old takes a step back from the superhero. He is kind of nervous, which is probably a good thing since he seems to be inducing murderous rage in people.
"A super hero huh? Well you certainly look the part. I'm Calvin and thanks for not trying to smash my face in."
As the people in the street recover from being stunned they look around a bit confused. They remember getting angry and attacking, but have no idea why. Most are quick to leave the area or go back to whatever buisness they were doing.
Calvin though stays away from the edge of the building staying out of sight.Check out My Writing

"Nice to meet you, Calvin." He floats upward in the air for a few seconds to watch the people disperse. "Well there's a distance limit. That's a bonus. Or maybe it's a sight thing. Any clue why this is happening?" he asks as he returns to a standing position.

"Yeah that's right, Mr Frescot. She is currently at the workshop. I already informed her about your arriving."
He waves at a man and a robot to his left side.
"Semian! Come over here. I need your help."
What happens now might confuse the stage and the dryad. Instead of the man, the robot comes closer while the man goes on with what he was doing.
"Oh! Excuse me I haven't introduced myself. I'm Gabrial, acolyt of Deus Mechanicus and former programmer. And this, as you may have heared, Semian. One of the local robots."
The 8 feet high robot holds up one hand as if he was saying 'hi'.
"Semian, please bring me the hold in storage room 2." A short break appears as if the robot answers the man.
"Really? Well it's good you know. Oh and bring us a comfortable char for Mrs Frescot, please."
It's obviously that you can't leave a woman at her state standing all the time, right? So if not stoped the robot will go and bring the things he was asked to do.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

"Sure, Tiger. What did you have in mind?" Willow answers, already starting to clean up her workbench. That was one thing she always did. Unless the building was on fire (which seemed to happen with more frequency when Arthur was at work), she tidied up everything on her work bench before she left, leaving everything immaculate. Her mother, siblings, and college roommate would have all been been stunned into disbelief if they knew, because that certainly wasn't how Willow kept her bedroom at home or her room at college. In the words of her roommate, her dorm room looked "Like a fashion magazine threw up in here".
Of course Willow's never taken Arthur to either her room at her parent's place or her dorm room. The stress of making the place presentable would be too much.
