Chiyo watched Bao, mildly concerned, but decided not to say anything about it. She had a point, after all. What were HQ thinking sending Nickel to the Underworld? The woman was positively insane, and this time she wasn't even lucid! She shook her head and shot a look to Grady as he was about to leave which simply said 'I'll take care of her'. She'd seen Cynthia around HQ often, and had checked up on her history. Tragic, but useful was the only way she could think to describe the girl. "We should go." She said to the room as she headed for the portal and stepped through.
***
On the other side, Lexi was waiting to greet them. "Chiyo-senpai!" She grinned "I knew you'd turn up for this one! Deqa's sent a handful of Minions to assess the situation while she gathers some of the better fighters to protect Level Seven. Our task is to make sure these new invaders don't make it that far, but if we fail she'll be standing by." Chiyo nodded. "Anything to avoid a repeat of last time." She said simply. "I miss Flame... She'd have dealt with this no problem before HQ even got wind of it." Lexi shrugged. She'd never met Flame. Deqa was the one she dealt with, though she'd heard all the stories a hundred times over. "Anyone else coming?" Lexi asked. "We've got quite the group..." Chiyo sighed. She looked around. "Why are we on this Level?"
((ooc: Incidentally, does anyone have any thoughts on which Level we're starting on? Because either this is going to be a massive epic battle, or it's gonna be over pretty quick... The lower levels are smaller than the higher ones, and if Laharl and his Demons appeared on Level 1 it wouldn't take us that long to find them if that's where we started. Chances are even Laharl and his girls are gonna have a hard time getting through the gateways - they are magically infused to keep people from breaking through again after all...))

((OOC: No clue, what do you suggest?))
Nickel watched people starting to leave and stood up. She made her way past Cynthia and bent down to whisper in the girl's ear. "You shouldn't whisper about people you know, it's rude."
Cynthia glared at the green-haired woman, with her eyes blazing red. Nickel didn't look back at the girl, and didn't notice the look she was being given. With a small jump, she passed through the portal to the other side.
***
'This can't be right,' she thought as she landed on the other side. She looked around, unable to believe what she was seeing. 'Perhaps Grady has been right all this time and I truly am insane... With a shake of her head, she clutched her lab coat closer to her body, feeling safer knowing the kind of weaponry she had stored in her pockets.
***
Cynthia managed to calm herself down after the woman went through the portal. A good thing too, Rayne was hammering at her mind to be set free. She shook her head, internally telling the demon that it wasn't the time. She grabbed Jacob's hand, "Come on, let's go!"

(OOC: Well, I would guess that HQ would probably start us on Level 2 or 3 - they know they made it past level 1, and we haven't heard any confirmation that they've made it past level 2 yet. I think this should probably play out closer to an epic battle than a quick walk over, so I'm leaning to catching up from level 2 as opposed to intercepting from level 3. That's just my opinion though)

((ooc: *Sigh* You'd think the Underworld would be harder to break through after last time... Oh well... Having said that, the lower levels wouldn't be too difficult really, given that they're only holding back skeletons and the like. It'll get tougher the further up they go as the beings there get progressively more intelligent and inclined to riot. I didn't realise they'd already gotten past the gateway separating levels 1 and 2...))
"Nickel!" Chiyo called "Over here." Lexi frowned. "She's a scientist..." Chiyo nodded, mildly irritated. "She's not even lucid." She sighed. "She's human..." "I'm human!" "She's a human scientist. You're a warrior with the uncanny ability to respawn at HQ when you 'die'. What are they thinking sending a crazy human scientist here? And on this quest!" "Experiment?" Chiyo shrugged. "We've also got a werewolf, human child with a demon inside her and human fighter. She has control of some powers." She added as Lexi was about to protest to more humans being in her world. "That's still too many humans for me to feel entirely comfortable down here..." Lexi sighed. "You know everything down here can smell humanity, don't you? And just about everything down here wants to kill it..." "I remember" Chiyo nodded. How could she forget? "I mean, you don't really smell human anymore, given how many times you died down here-" "-People don't need to know that about me, ok, Lexi-chan. Keep that one to yourself would you..." Lexi smiled wickedly, but nodded as the portal flashed into life again.

Nickel looked up at the sound of her name and saw a woman waving to her that she recognised. Nickel walked over to her and a name popped into her mind. "Chiyo?" she asked hesitantly. The monkey's head rested lightly on her shoulder, almost as if it was looking at the pair of women in front of her. Nickel smiled at the red-head standing with Chiyo.

Chiyo nodded. "Good to see you remember me" she smiled. "This is Lexi, she lives here. She's a Quester, like me." "Hi there," Lexi smiled "Nickel, was it?"

Nickel nodded, "Nickel, because I'm 28 and have green hair." she announced happily, offering her hand to for Lexi to shake. "And the monkey on my back is Chimp, say hello Chimp!"

(OOC: I did say at the start of the quest they'd already made it through Level 1. However, that can be explained as just nothing on Level 1 noticing them until they were at the gate, and I would doubt it would be well defended. They don't even have to be that far ahead of us, they're just meant to be really tough when the actual fighting starts - I mean, someone who rides meteors into their opponents isn't exactly going to be easy to fight...)
Bao looked around the world upon arrival. It seemed dark, but there was also plenty of rock around. She focused, and began to slowly try to pull out some of the ground in front of her. Noticing it respond willingly to her, she relaxed slightly.
"At least I'm not going to be defenceless out here... She thought to herself, before realising most of the people had caught up. They all seemed to be gathering around a new face. She wandered over to introduce herself. ***
Jacob followed along with Cynthia.
"OK, OK." He said, drawing one of his axes. They stepped into the portal, and he felt his body begin to shrink.
When he landed on the other side, he had reverted to his fully human form. He began to look around for the axe he dropped on landing, before exerting a little willpower to shift back to his feral man form.

On the other side of the portal Cynthia stopped and stood closer to Jacob. This place seriously creeped her out, and Rayne was hammering on the inside of her mind to be let out. Cynthia shook her head and walked slowly towards the rest of the people, she would let him out when it was needed.
