Claire's first reaction to being tapped on the shoulder was merely to turn around and ask what was up, not thinking anything bad would be happening after that mission. Of course, that was before the control panel in front of her vanished and turned into a landscape with the abandoned coal mine's entrance in front of her. Claire awkwardly fell backwards, landing on her backside after being transported from a sitting position. "Hey! What are you doing?" She waited for Addy to respond, then realized she agreed with the request. Bases like that shouldn't exist. Hunters were only meant to kill those supernatural who harmed others, in her opinion. Of course she'd been apart of missions that targeted non-threatening being. Nodding, Claire stood. "I'm in."
Apsenniel sprang to her feet as the air shifted, her arms raised as if she was ready to attack. Almost immediately she dropped her hands, smiling as she began looking over the group that had finally returned. Reast, carrying Lucee, and Rion, who had another man slung over his shoulder. She vaguely recognized him from her past, but couldn't quite place it. "Is everyone alright? I sent Addy, Ian and Claire out for food. We got Kyson back, too." She shifted awkwardly from foot to foot before adding, "But a couple people got hurt." She slightly nodded towards the body near Kyson, then gave a wave toward the sleeping Rolands. She knew the human would be fine, but wasn't so sure about the child. Could he be saved? Apsenniel hoped so, but wasn't allowing herself to get her hopes up.

Rion nodded towards Apesenniel as she spoke. He took everything in and narrowed his eyes at the body, covered up by a blanket. "I'll handle that situation. Until then, there are a few things that you are going to need to know so that they don't....pop up and surprise you." He looked around at what little forces they had. He laid Enzo down on the ground and then pulled Ape aside. He wasn't sure what to do now though. He knew a war was coming but, he knew that with the power he had now, he wouldn't be able to live through it. He almost lost to a reaper which was an embarrassment in itself. He needed to train, he needed to find more power. He closed his eyes and then shook his head clear of all of the thoughts coursing through it.
"Ape, see if you can prepare make shift beds for the injured. Hopefully the crew that you sent out for food will return soon. We're going to need it. and uh... we may be expecting at least two more to show up. I left a little...note for a reaper I met telling him where we would go and that if he needed protection, where to find us. He's trustworthy, and strong. If he gets here before I get back, make him feel welcomed. I know that Reast is here, but I'm going to take that...body... and I'm going to bring the.." He looked over at the body and sighed, it was a child. He knew because of how small the body was and he swallowed, did he really want to do this? Did he want to take this responsibility on? Was he ready to do this again...again. "I'm going to bring the child back. I'll train him, i'll get him ready. I won't be in this realm so I'm going to give you a way to communicate with me in case you need me. Try to keep me updated when you can."
Rion took Ape's hand with his left hand and then, with his right, he placed two fingers on her inner wrist. A greyish teal diamond protruded out of it slightly and it appeared without any pain. "Simply touch that and my mind will be opened to hearing your thoughts. Only the ones that you wish for me to hear of course. It's a trick I inherited while in the kingdom of Hachiman. Things will hopefully begin to look up now." He released her and went over to the boy's body and shadows wrapped around the both of them, taking them to his lab. It was now or never. He had to bring the boy back and he would do whatever it took.

Carefully, Reast placed Lucee's body down on some clothes she had rounded up from various lockers within the mines. There was much to be done, and as much as Ape was under the impression others were gone to collect items...Reast knew better. She knew better then trusting a bunch of juvenile monsters to scurry off and collect food. They were up to something. But whatever they were up to was up to them to figure out. Sitting down on the ground beside Lucee, Re remained quiet, carefully observing the young child. When Re had entered a darker state...a state where nobody mattered and anyone was fair game...Lucee was there. When everyone else saw her as the beast she truly was, Lucee did. Sighing softly, Re brushed a strand of Lucee's hair from her face, like she usually would to reassure Lucee. She was still there and she wasn't leaving. "You did well," Reast mumbled softly, as she remained completely still.
The region was calmer, calmer than it had ever been, even before this current conflict. But, this didn't phase Re. She monitored Lucee carefully, not allowing anything nor anyone to distract her. She was weak. She would pull through but her abilities were growing weak. Smirking faintly, Re brought herself to sit upon her knee's, carefully bringing her hands to Lucee's cheek. Décroissants typically wouldn't toy with the lighter energy heir body held due to the counter effects...But this didn't even cross Re's mind at the time being. With a faint light globing over Re's hands, carefully kept her eyes focused on Lucee. The globe flickered for several seconds before slowly taking the form of dragonflies. The dragonflies were faint, but still had a unique appearance all their own. The cringes in her face exposed the pain that the pure element was inflicting on Re. With each seconds of use, small burns appeared over Re's skin. The globe of dragonflies remained until the slowly disappeared, covering Lucee's body. They remained there carefully, for several seconds before soaking into Lucee's body. When she awoke, she would feel as good as new. Sitting back, Re drew her hands back and observed the burns for several seconds. Afterall, it only took several seconds until dark stitches ran across the burns, pulling the skin back together like new. Lucee would not suffer. She would never suffer as long as Reast was around.

Erebus: Erebus had quickly disappeared from the establishment after collecting his sister. But this wasn't till after he collected a single note left by the soul wielder, Rion. They had reached the outer lands of France before Erebus had taken the time to read the note left for him. It was perfect for them to slow down, even just for a few minutes so his sister could regain her strength. Setting his now awake sister down, Erebus observed her for several seconds to make sure she was still awake before unfolding the note. It merely took seconds for his eyes to quickly scan over the words and find what was of importance to him. Dropping the note, Erebus watched as it faded into the darkness of the night around them, they had a decision to make. But part of Erebus felt that he could possibly be leading his sister into even more danger. They didn't know who was on what side seeing as supernaturals were beginning to turn on their own...yet he couldn't help but feel he was missing something if he didn't at least check out this coal mine. Turning his attention to his sister, he was a little caught off when she responded before he could even speak.
Nyx: They had only been out of the establishment for around an hour, and Erebus was already contemplating their next move...That was how their normal was though. Erebus typically would step up between the two, as Nyx would tag along and back her dear brother up with whatever force needed. Hugging her knee's tight to her, Nyx kept her eyes focused on her brother as he read a piece of paper he had pulled from his pocket. He had mentioned running into a super natural that was on the same mission as him, rescue...Which could only lead Nyx to the conclusion that it was this other supernatural that left them the note. When her brother finally turned his attention to her, she stood herself up and walked over towards him. Giving a careful look, Nyx gently lifted her shoulders and gave her brother a careful shrug. "We will never know till we try."
Erebus: It never ceased to amaze Erebus on how connected the two were. They were different in all walks of life...yet they knew each others pain. They knew when each other were sad, curious, weak...they just knew one another. And with that, they were on the same page. Pulling out his scythe, Erebus tore a hole into the very matter around them. He went first, and his sister followed. Behind them, it closed up. It was a way to get around..Traveling with space matter. Cutting open the fabric of time with hi scythe once more, Erebus walked out into the coal mines with Nyx following behind. It was time to see what this group of rebels was all about.

Anastasiya waited until the most opportune moment to make her escape, if only she could get the little sand man's attention for just a moment. He was in pretty bad shape, so she wasn't sure how effective his efforts would be, but it would only take a moment really, once she could reach the guard's dreams she was free. She would come back for him of course, somehow she told herself. She raised her finger to tap the glass that separated them from the others when she saw the door come flying inwards, followed by a small girl and what looked like her caretaker. The small one had shiny thoughts, they were quite beautiful really, pure and whole. Crouching down below their view she kept an eye on the small one to see what she was capable of. It seemed they were here for sandy, and the little girl was pretty close to him in the way she lay on the floor beside him singing.
It was then that Anastasiya realized the girls song was healing the sand man, but she couldn't get much more from the situation as a strange sandstorm began to form. It was the strongest shed seen sandy since she arrived, she smiled a little to herself nodding in approval of the small girl. It bothered her to see their kind in pain, each night she would enter his dreams and play soothing images to bring rest to his soul. His mind had been relatively easy to manipulate, as he was merely human granted with special abilities, from what she wasn't sure. The girl and her friend came just in time, she could feel the mans thought slipping from his body.
As the sandstorm formed, she could sense the girl had passed into a deep sleep, it must have taken quite a bit of energy from her to heal a man on the brink of death. The caretaker returned to the small girl and scooped her up, then a strange man with teal hair entered to retrieve sandy, interesting choice of fashion she thought. They were going to leave, and she would be stuck here... she had to think fast. The girl! She bit her lip, it had been a while since she had walked among a dream, she was rusty but it was now or never. Focusing her thoughts on the girls, melting her mind into the girls. Becoming one with the girls wishes and dreams, Anastasiya's body slowly faded. She could sense the caretakers light and pain, light must be unnatural for her. Her wishes were sweet she thought, she cared for the girl.
The girl's mind, she learned whose name was Lucee, was easy enough to manipulate, her purity and light resembled utmost innocence. She figured it wouldn't hurt to pair the sweet dragonflies with a soft grassy meadow and a starry night sky. She let the imagine sink in the girls mind for a few minutes before closing her eyes and letting out a deep sigh. She appeared next to the girl and her caretaker sitting criss cross applesauce by Lucee's feet. Glancing around their odd choice of living quarters she decided she should speak up, "This is a rather interesting choice of location... perhaps you might consider sprucing the place up a bit?"

Everything was darkness for what seemed like ages, until she noticed something in the distance. Tiny dragonflies began to fly around her, distracted by the tiny creatures flying around her head, she hardly even noticed when the meadow and stars appeared after. She hoped that their mission had been a success, if only she could wake up soon. She sensed they were somewhere colder, and Reast's voice... Reast's voice could calm any storm that arose in Lucee's mind. It was her voice that would draw her from her slumber. She rose slowly and smiled at Reast, "Did we do it? Where's Enzo... wait... who is that?" Lucee tilted her head and drew her knees to her chest waving slightly at the woman who sat quite close to them. "Hello there... I'm Lucee, I don't believe we've met."

Things had been calm finally. At least as calm as things could be. That was until all these new guest seemed to just appear from midair. Turning her attention to the new woman and man who entered the region, Re began to tense up. She was about to speak when she quickly turned to a new person who had appeared beside her. Without thinking, and without hesitation, Re took the unfamiliar woman by the throat. Standing up slowly to smash the woman against a nearby wall. Re was stronger than she appeared, and anyone who knew her knew that...too bad for anyone who didn't know her. With her spare hand, Re flipped a small dagger in between her fingers before taking hold if it and bringing it directly against the women's neck. Just letting it barely touch the skin, enough to give anyone the slightest goosebumps.
A reactive beast had gone off in Reast, making her almost completely unpredictable. Narrowing her darkening eyes, Re spoke in a strong tone. "And who the hell are you." The woman had to be supernatural...but had then been found? What did this woman want with Lucee?? "You have five seconds to explain why I should paint this entire room with your blood." Dropping the woman, Re took a slight step back, but still remained in a position that kept the woman's back to the wall.
Apsenniel didn't know where to look first. The diamond protruding from her wrist was a concern, but so were the three new guests in their hide out. Of course, Reast attacked the one closest too her, but seemed to reign herself in a bit. Ape made her way to the male and female near the entrance, putting herself between them and the Immortals. At the moment, each of them were a threat until they could prove otherwise. "Who are you?" Apsenniel repeated Reast's question to the other two, putting her hand out as Silver flew to her grip and shifted to shield form. Better to defend than pose a threat, at this point. While Reast handled the woman hitching a ride in Lu's body, Ape could at least hold off the others. She narrowed her eyes, frowning. "How did you find us?"

Sending a surge through the electric wiring, it was almost too easy for Claire and Rowan to get the power running again. Of course, it seemed easy enough till Claire vanished into midair. Smirking faintly, Rowan pushed away from the electrical mainframe and made her way back down the tunnel she had come from. It was odd that such things didn't phase her, but not too odd. Afterall, this was a world at war. Once entering the gathering location within the tunnels, Rowan wasn't the least bit surprised to see that the group had grown..And so had the hostility. Leaning against the wall, Rowan carefully crossed her arms in front of her as she watched as the story unraveled. She would, of course, wait till the time was right to ask about Claire.
Lip woke up and looked around, Ian was gone. He didn't want to wake Nikol yet though. He knew that she had other things on her mind and telling her that her little brother somehow disappeared, probably wouldn't help the situation. His brother being gone wasn't the only thing that he noticed though. There was a lot going on actually. He noticed that the other rescue team had returned, but, from what he could see, the new people that he didn't recognize, didn't seem to be very welcomed. He slid his brass knuckles on just in case he needed to act and he tapped his sisters shoulder to try to wake her. She was a heavy sleeper when she thought that she was safe. Then he saw his sister make her move and he couldn't help but smile a little. She was trying to get her mind off of everything going wrong.
The touch from her brother woke her up, she knew things were off, but with all of the thoughts going through her head, she really didn't seem to care in the slightest. She looked for the dead body, knowing where it was, but it was gone and her stomach dropped. Then, she looked for Ian, and he was gone too. This really made her panic. She looked around and she stood up and marched over to where the winged elf girl was standing. If those two were to attack her, she may have some trouble. She was already in a bad mood from everything going on in her life and she spit through her teeth as her whip uncoiled from around her arm almost as if it were alive and electricity shot out of the tip of it, "Well?! Answer her! Who the hell are you and why are you here?" She eyes the girl up first, she was a night walker. Dark assassin who pretty much sold their souls to the devil, and then the boy, a reaper, interesting combination. They would be powerful. She would need Lip if a fight broke out.

At first, Erebus had been thrown off. This was the location Rion had directed him towards... And looking around at the different faces, this didn't look like another hunting facility. Yet...the atmosphere matched that at the facility. The two were being watched like animals as they were approached. Reaching him arm out to keep his sister behind him protected, Erebus narrowed his eyes. A smirk fell upon his lips as his spare hand reached around and pulled out his scythe. "So we are doing this?" Erebus chuckled under his breath as a few souls from his scythe flew from out of his scythe. The souls screamed as they circled the air around the room before returning to him. The souls entered his body this time, with each soul, his eyes shifted to a brighter blue in color.
Looking around at the various individuals, and then back at her brother, Nyx remained quiet at first. The situation seemed confusing, but not only from their perspective, but from the opposing sides perspective as well. Maybe there had been some miscommunication at some point? With the world fighting instead of observing...Miscommunication was becoming an easier task than breathing. After observing the hostility for several seconds, Nyx brought her hand to her brothers shoulder, signifying him to lower his arm and to stand down. As he dropped his arm, Nyx maneuvered carefully around him, still keeping a decent distance from those who seemed to be cornering them. Looking at the two women who seemed in front of them, Nyx raised her hand carefully and opened her palm face up. In her palm, shadows seemed to gather to make small images of people. When focused, anyone could make out that the image was of Rion leaving a note for Erebus. The shadows then swirled around in a small tornado in her palms before panning out to make another image, showing the note and what it had said. The note had listed that this was a place they could meet up with others like them...and that they would be safe here. Closing her palm and lowering her hand, Nyx looked back at Erebus once more, still without a single word spoken.
Letting out a careful sigh, Erebus nodded towards Nyx as he put his scythe back behind his back. Erebus watched as Nyx used shadow imagery to explain their story. As soon as she had finished Erebus looked back towards the women in front of him. "I am Erebus, and this is my sister Nyx. We met Rion at the hunters testing facility."With his final words, a small smile fell upon his face. "We are deaths children, as your friend probably already know." Erebus directed his comment towards the elf woman standing in front of him. "How was it coming back from the other side?"

Anastasiya hadn't planned on being swept off her feet today, but then again she didn't quite picture it this way either. She did her best to maintain her composure, she wasn't quite sure what this woman was capable of, but she wasn't going to underestimate her either. As the woman lowered the small dagger, she spoke softly, "Well then... if that's how you treat your guests." Anastasiya chuckled trying to lighten the mood a little but it wasn't as affective as she'd hoped for.
Letting out a short sigh, she figured her five seconds were coming to an end, she should make quick of things. "My name is Anastasiya, I mean you people no harm. Merely a victim of this war Id say. I saw you back there helping Sandy and figured you would be my only opportunity for an escape." Now that she'd had a moment to explain herself, hopefully calming the fire in this woman's eyes, she took the chance to look more at the people who occupied the room. There was quite a variety of people here she thought to herself, most she assumed were supernatural. Smiling to herself, if she could manage to earn a place here, she could have a field day with these peoples dreams.

Reast face never changed as the woman explained herself. Even when the woman tried including humor, Reast still seemed unchanged. She was glad this woman found the situation humorous, but Re found no humor in any immediate danger being near Lucee. Slipping her dagger away, Re then turned away from the woman and shamed her fist into a near by wall, completely smashing a hole nto the wall. "We are growing wreckless." Turning to face the group, Re's eyes turned black as her words grew dark. "We have a war starting. And each one of you will have to prove your worth in this war or go into hiding. If you are declared unfit for war. You will leave." Turning back away from the group, Reast left the room, and went to another to begin planning their next step.
It wasn't that Reast was mad at anyone, it was she felt if one person could track them, others could also...And with supernaturals being used as weapons, they were vulnerable to all forms of attack. There future of their world was at sake. It was time to buckle down and get serious.
Kyson woke up from all of the noise and looked around for Addy. She was gone. She left... Again. He sighed and stood up to look at what all of the commotion was about and then shook his head, not wanting to deal with anyone yet. He made his way into an office like room and saw a girl sitting there, he wasn't sure of her name, but he knew he had seen her. She was in the group that had come to save him. She was younger, and she was working on getting electricity going throughout the coal mine. He sighed loudly to get her attention, "Well, wouldn't turning the power on be a blinking red light for the hunters to tell them , 'Hey! We're here! Come and attack us!'" He made a crazy face and used weird, crablike hand signs to mock her and then couldn't help but crack a smile, but only for a second. "Sorry... I shouldn't be such a downer, i'm usually not, but, things changed. I changed. They changed me and I'm working on reverting to who I am. I'm just... not myself right now. Sorry."
