Revolt of the Planes/Whats in a name Plots Cross over

Participants: Midnight, Allure, SilverShadow, Xing-Liu, Blue Streak, Rebound.

Arianus everyone who made their perception roll see a rift open behind caleb..it is dark..and it has a pull to it..drawing the heroe's in.

FireCaleb whirls around as the rift opens. "What the--?"

Stephie says, "Get back!"

FireCaleb attempts to back away from the drawing rift.

The feel of this is familiar..especially to Caleb..but to all of you, it is reminescent of the pull into the Plane of air..

Everyone who made their perception roll see a rift open behind caleb..it is dark..and it has a pull to it..drawing the heroe's in.

FADE TO BLACK

All is dark..until your eyes adjust and it seems like..less than dark, it is shadowy..low light everywhere.

for those that can see, It is a seemingly subterrain place, mideval in description, large stone structure and dampness is in the air...the sounds of screams can be heard by those who cannot see well, as can a pitious wailing from down the hall.

Caleb sighs.

Xing-Liu's hands glow, offering a little illumination for her presence.

Stephie tries to make out where she is.

Jace audibly winces and groans, "Rifts still there.."

Blue Streak says, "I don't thiink we're in... well, we weren't excatly in KANSAS to begin with. I don't think we're in Pylea anymore. Or Pangea. Or WHATEVER the heck they called it."

Caleb whispers "Can we use the comms? Dunno who's listenin."

Caleb attempts to step back through the rift.

Jace leans on a wall, whispering into his commlink

Caleb disappears. Not that anyone but Jace can tell.

The wailing continues and a voice rings out, "DEMON!..You will speak your name!.." the sound of a scream and the sound of something heavy hitting something fleshy is heard.

Jace winces hard

Jace walks ahead, trying to go forward to his demon

Caleb grabs Jace by the shoulder, somewhat gently.

Jace stops turning back to Caleb

Blue Streak can't see much but there is a door with some low orange light that flickers around it that he can see.

The wailing sound continues..it comes from just beyond the door that Izzy is at.

Stephie feels her way cautiously through the dark.

Jace balances himself on his sword, blood streaming down off his body from phantom wounds.

Caleb moves quietly towards the door and attempts to peek through it.

The crack is small..and you can't quite make out what is inside.

Caleb attempts to quietly open the door just a crack more to peek through.

The door doesn't budge..

Jace winces loud and falls to his knees. Going still

Caleb swears under his breath and tries to phase.

Caleb 's body turns vaguely cloudy...

Caleb sticks his head through the wall subtly and tries to see what's going on.

From inside the deep voice says.."This is what I enjoy about you demon..you are incredibly resilient..the sound of something puncturing flesh..and a sizzle of flesh frying is heard...as well as a scream of utter pain.

Jace grabs his side and coughs up some blood, his flesh cooking slightly

A deep chuckle is heard..."Now..your name Demon!"

Xing-Liu is already healing Jace, once she figures out where he is and all.

A raspy evil voice is heard.."...cough...If I tell you my name...you will end this?"

Jace growls and stands up, muttering something under his breath that comes out as static on the line.

Torturer says in a voice that can clearly be heard outside the door. "Of course I will end this, all Khaos desires is your name."

Caleb takes a few steps back and attempts to blow the door open.

...and fails utterly. A trace of energy gets pulled out of him, back through the rift in the hall.

The raspy voice says.."I am certain this will end.." he seems to be referring to something else though.

Jace stumbles over a bit, groping to get the eggs from Rebound

Torturer grabs a different poker and aims it at the eye of the Demon.

A quite impressive burst of wind and stuff strikes the door and...

The door blasts open and hits the Torturer in the back. Stumbling forward the torturer's poker sinks into the heart of the demon before falling to the ground.

Torturer roars.."WHO DARES!!"

Jace screams and grabs his chest, blood pouring, flesh searing, he writhes on the ground, shaking from the blow.

At the exact same time the Demon says..something soft..

Caleb tries to catch what the demon is saying...

"AESMA..." while said softly, the sound seems to carry a sense of power and it hangs on everyone's mind..as if entering a secret part of their soul..a private part where their true name is held...it is as if it is a recognition of another true name..

Jace sucks in air and bolts upright, the sounds rattling him to the bone, he seems to go distant.

Caleb thinks. o O (Didn't know he had resp'ratory trouble...)

Blue Streak says, ""NOOOOOOOOO!" as he screams into the room and plows into the madman!"

Blue Streak races towards the dark clad assailant and manages to trip over a red hot poker and stumble into the fire.

Caleb swears inventively, catches Alex's eye and tries to follow up the door with another airblast.

Alex nods and winds up his right arm like a sling, letting fly at Torturer's head.

Torturer is slammed further back and into a wall hard.

Torturer's head hits the wall hard, the cracking of a skull clearly heard as he slumps over.

The demon seems to shrink before the eyes of those that can see it. It wails pitifully...now the size of a child..now the size of an infant..

Stephie stares at the shrinking demon, ready to act if need be, but....

Jace stands up slowly, thanking Xing for her help silently and goes into the room without a word. Turning to his demon, staring at it coldly.

Xing-Liu moves on to the demon who was going to give out a name, though stands ready to ensure Jace doesn't make slashy death out of the demon.

The darkness is complete..and unnatural, Jace and Caleb cannot see through it..suddenly it looses all shape and form and jumps from where it lay into Jaces' chest.

Blue Streak rights himself, brushes himself off, then scoops up the demon and carries ot to Jace and Xing. He tries to hand it to Jace. "Maybe if you hold it..."

Jace smiles wickedly as it enters, he allowing it the first time to return home without a fight

Caleb fails to see what happened, it being all special dark.

Blue Streak says, "Wait. Where..?" He looks around, confused. "What...?"

Caleb looks back at Jace and tries again to grab at the tiny demon, unsuccessfully. "Crap." He looks up at Jace. "So, who's runnin' things now?"

Suddenly Jace is showered in shadows that erupt from behind his patched eye, covering him in his entiredy, now SilverShadow stands before you.

SilverShadow smiles toward the group and sayes boldly, "Power-Overwhelming"

There is yelling and the sound of a lot of feet and wings coming.

Blue Streak says, "O... k."

Caleb sighs and mutters "Sense-Minimal." He turns back to the rest of the group. "So. Keep goin' after batboy or get the heck outta here?"

Stephie looks about, bewildered.

SilverShadow says, "We need to get out of here, the others are coming."

Blue Streak nods. "What're we gonna do with him anyways? Take him to jail? We don't even know how to get back!

SilverShadow says, "the portal remains, we simply need to take it"

Stephie nods. "Seems like a good idea, just now...."

Caleb snorts. "Yeah. OK... we go after batboy some other time. Let's roll, team."

Blue Streak says, "To Earth, I mean."

Caleb shrugs to BS as he heads back to the air-portal. "He ain't committed no crimes on earth, anyway. Rules are different here."

Caleb says, "I think the locals are porting in... if we're gonna move, better do it fast."

Blue Streak says, "Unless, OH! You mean, ummm... ok. The Regentotherkindathingie."

Caleb says, "Yeah, I mean Khaos. Can we _go_, now?" He seems unwilling to leave before the team is out. "Or we gonna chat some more?""

SilverShadow nods,

SilverShadow says, "We should leave"

The sounds of commotion are nearer..

SilverShadow floats out of the room, looking down the hallway, seeing if they little bat monsters are close

Blue Streak says, "Ok, you guys know more about it than me!" He moves to get Stephie. "Let's GO!"

SilverShadow turns back to the room, "I suggest you hurry"

Caleb is standing next to the air-portal, ready to guide folks who can't see. "Go go go go GO!"

Caleb says, "You too, Jace! Ain't goin' less you do."

Stephie heads toward the portal, try to make sure she's distracting in a rear-ward direction, just in case.

SilverShadow nods, "Then we will both be the last"

Caleb waits until everybody but Jace has gone through then attempts to grab Jace's arm before going through himself, not entirely trusting that the guy actually intends to leave.

SilverShadow fires off a couple of sweeping energy blasts, trying to give the party time to escape.

FADE TO BLACK..

The group is in the realm of air, The battle is over, but the rift remains..

A bolt of darkness blasts out wayward from the rift.

Stephie says, "Yikes! Let's get away from the rift...."

SilverShadow turns to see the rift, and watch the EB, pulling up his Force Field around himself, ready to protect his teammates

More bolts come flying out of the rift..but seem unaimed.

Xing-Liu plays her normal role of human shield, ready to get in the way of stray bolts that have their paths going toward friends.

Stephie stays back. Human shield isn't a good role for her.

SilverShadow pulls in energy from around him, aiming at the open gate.

Caleb glares at the rift and, without quite thinking about it, blasts it with what turns out to be a combination of fire, air, and weirdness. The rift closes in a burst of interdimensional confusion.

SilverShadow turns to Caleb, "Well thats new.."

Caleb stares at where the rift used to be, puzzled. "Was that me?"

SilverShadow nods slowly

SilverShadow shrugs, "So long as its closed. We need to head back, bringing the injured back to the castle for treatment."

Caleb says, "Neat." He turns to Alex. "You know? I'm thinkin' that dimensional physics conference might be good for somethin, after all. This makes less and less sense to me as we go along.""

SilverShadow says, "That is if Xing-liu is still up for it" he turns to Xing, looking down on her from above "Are you?"

Blue Streak helps Stephie (and anyone else that doesnt move fast enough NOT to be helped) as far away as possible.

Among the dead and smoking carcasses lies Arianus, his face is twisted in agony, his death throes one would think..there are perhaps 35 warriors tending to another 20 that live on the ground..but Arianus is not one of them.

SilverShadow sighs softly and floats down to Arianus, looking him over.

Arianus' body is somewhat charred..his wings burned off..leaving only the skeletal remains of his wings.

Blue Streak gasps.

SilverShadow frowns letting his head be uncovered by shadows, he waves the others toward him.

Caleb decides not to go all firey. The poor birds have enough to deal with.

Many of the Avians line the bodies up next to each other, others tend to the wounded while others fly those fit back to the Keep.

An Avian approaches the team.."Champions.."

Stephie stands in stunned silence.

SilverShadow turns to the Avian, looking him over for wounds more than wanting to talk. "Yes?"

"Did you know this one?..Avianus, He was a captain of one of the flocks.."

Blue Streak mutters something under his breath about not being very GOOD champions apparently.

SilverShadow nods, "We did.."

High above a giant Crane flies..watching over all of this..

The bodies are almost all lined up, Avianus the last to be arranged.

Stephie shakes her head.

Xing-Liu stares in silence for a moment, taking into account just what she had missed here. Then she turns away, walking back toward the castle.

Blue Streak moves over to hold Stephie.

The avian squats down to take Avianus, "He will be prepared."

SilverShadow watches Xing move away for a moment, struggling with himself if he should do anything then remember his face when he made his stupid comment.

SilverShadow turns back to the Avian, "Very well, bury him with these...they helped in this war.."

SilverShadow removes the sword and armor from his person and holds them out on shadowy limbs. "I will carry all those I can back if you wish as well"

Stephie buries her face in Blue Streak's shoulder.

Caleb doesn't seem to react to the corpses, or to the pomp and circumstance surrounding them. After a few minutes he starts walking away, following XL. When he gets a reasonable distance he ports away, out of sight of most everybody.

Blue Streak holds Stephie close, rocking her gently.

The Avian nods, "Any help will be accepted with gratitude" He picks up Avianus and lays him next to his squadron..

The Giant Crane lands lightly..and becomes the form of Garuda...he seems to struggle with this, the same concerned look on his face he had in his great hall.."My Children..you are free, your bravery and sacrifice for this land shall be written in the long journal of our histories, Go now and join the Spirit flocks..you will be missed." He raises his arms and the bodies begin to disintegrate, windy forms seem to take the bodies and lead them up and away..

Garuda stands there for a long time in silence.

The injured and the uninjured slowly return to the castle.

SilverShadow stands in silence, whispering his own prayars to those who have fallen
