((ooc: Again, if you read through some of 'Killing Vincent' you'll see what I mean about the gates. They're not really guarded, so much as magically sealed. Apart from the gates, levels 1 and 2 are easy to get through because nothing really attacks anyone, but level 3 is where things start taking notice. In the previous battle, where Loth broke through the gates in a bid to take over the entire Underworld, she gathered an army of oppressed beings from the lower levels as she went, and she had to break the magical seals and then physically destroy the gates in order to get from one level to the next, each one getting progressively harder. - Just so we're all aware of that...))
Lexi looked around at the group of complete misfits. "Is this everyone?"

(OOC: Gotcha. Now, considering who it is we're up against, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the things they've fought their way through have joined with them too. Also, even if this is meant to be an epic battle, that doesn't mean it can't be an epic battle across the third level, ending at the gate - sometimes they're epic more because of how drawn out the fight is, than how close you come to losing, after all.)
"I didn't see anyone else in the portal room." Jacob said. "Besides, a smaller group would probably be able to move faster than an army."

Cynthia looked up to Jacob, "Rayne wants to play. Do you think I should let the demon out, or wait until Rayne is needed?" She had come to trust Jacob's advice, and knew he would keep Rayne in check.
On the other side of the group, Nickel was still absently muttering to her monkey, until Lexi started talking. She looked up at the red-head and frowned when she noticed fangs in the woman's mouth.

"I'm not going to say this often, but it might be better to let it out now rather than later." Jacob said. "Just let me get ready first."
He drew his axes, and shifted into his war form. He nodded to let Cynthia know it was alright to change.

Cynthia nodded and made sure there was enough space around her. With one last glance at Jacob, her eyes blazed red and soon her entire body changed. Where once stood a slim ten-year old girl, now stood an 8ft tall demon, with red eyes and horns as sharp as knives. Rayne gave an almighty roar of joy at having the freedom to do what it wanted.
Nickel, upon hearing the roar, spun around to see what the noise had been. Where she had last seen a little girl, there was a giant black demon. She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping it was some horrible figment of her imagination. But when she opened them and the demon was still stood there, she took a subconscious step towards Chiyo and shuddered with fear.

Jacob stared down at Rayne. As loud and fierce as Rayne was, it still surprised him at how small the demon was compared to him.
"Don't party just yet." He growled down at the demon.
***
Bao turned around at the roar, and cursed under her breath, before preparing herself to raise a wall between herself and the creatures in front of her if need be.

Rayne gave a low territorial growl in Jacob's direction but did nothing. The demon was quick to fight anyone but those who would protect Cynthia.

Jacob let the growl slide. For all he knew, this was Rayne's home, so pressing the issue was foolish at best, and suicidal at worst.

Chiyo and Lexi exchanged a glance at each other before both of them shrugged. "It'll get noticed" Chiyo noted. "We'll all get noticed" Lexi sighed her reminder. Chiyo nodded, mildly irritated. "I swear, Chiyo-senpai, I'm becoming as infamous as Flame and Deqa. I can't go anywhere down here without someone recognising me for something or other..." "It's all these weird humans and creatures you keep bringing home, Lexi-chan. You really ought to stop y'know." They grinned at each other.

Once Jacob was satisfied that Rayne wasn't going to kill them all immediately, he turned around.
As he did he heard a strange whistling sound.
"You hear that?" He asked the others.
