LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia walked faster to catch up with Sai. "What're you talking about? What library?" She shrugged and ran a bit faster, walking through the door to Lilith.

"We're goin' on an adventure!!"

[ximar]

Ximar listened intently. "Sounds like a plan. Oh, by the way Hercules. If you ever need help, try to find us. I'll do what I can. Thanks for your assistance and good luck on your adventure." He turned and followed Sai. He silently thought to himself, "I wonder if Sai's suspicious of my emotional attitude yet. Worrying isn't gonna do much. I'll tell him when I get the chance."

[Gabranth]

Gabranth glanced at Hercules, understanding of his pain. Gabranth after all had a similar situation in a past time, although he paid with his life to keep his promise.Although this wasn't information he would share so quickly. He was one to keep to himself. He couldn't afford his trump card to go off and die, before his chains to Hades had been severed. Ultimately this was still his goal. How he went about doing this, was being played by ear.

"I trust you not to do anything foolish Hercules?" Gabranth began to walk into the corridor of the Colosseum. "I still need your help with Hades. My chains to him must be broken."

As he walked into the corridor, he began to unlatch his helm to relieve some weight, and to find a place to rest. He would take this time to regain a bit of his strength and plan his next move. He needed to figure out the best pieces to use in breaking his chains. He's seen the powers of this world. He could see in order to break his chains to Hades he would need someone of higher power. He knew alone he could stand to him, however winning would be the biggest obstacle. He was still unsure of this Shego, and that sadistic clowns part in all of this, along with Maleficent. One thing he could see, this Maleficent was a thorn in Hades' side. If Hercules could not help, maybe he could talk with this Maleficent. Hades seems rather obedient when she's about.

Still, what of Ximar, Sai and the others. From the looks of things he felt a war would be waged soon. He remembered Sai saying there was a way to travel between worlds. "A war waged between worlds..." he thought to himself. He was no longer in his Archadian home lands. Since this was the case, he would have to find his place and take sides. Yet, he could still feel that looming presence of Hades' grasp. This would make Gabranth feel as though his side was already choosen.

For now rest.

[Lilith]

"We're goin' on an adventure!!"

Lilith looked up at her
"an adventure? to where?"

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia's eyes lit up, remembering what Sai said.

"To the library! Miiaxra might be there! Comeoncomeoncomeon let's go Sai~" She whined, pulling on Sai's sleeve to annoy him.

[Sai]

Just as Lexia grabbed his sleeve, Sai froze on the spot. At first, some might think that he was annoyed with the girl, but it wasn't the case. His one visible eye widened, showing perhaps the closest thing to emotion since they met him.

"It can't be..." he whispered, then held up a hand, trying to summon a corridor, but it wouldn't come. "I don't understand..." he muttered, then looked to his hand. "I cannot open access to Alexandria... The portals do not respond..." he looked to the others, blinking. "Lexia? Can you attempt?" he asked. He didn't know that the attempt would not work either...

That world was no longer there.

[Secondary Characters]

Hercules watched as the others all went off, with the exception of Gabranth who stood next to him. When the helmet came off, Hercules actually blinked a bit. So, this was a HUMAN after all. He sort of expected a gorgon or maybe a cyclops with all that unique armor and power. Still, he was happy to see his new friend was pretty much just like him. Same hair color too!

"I know you've got a grudge with Hades... but breaking out of the Underworld's hold on your own's no easy feat... I mean... I can't think of anyone that did it alone. I'll help, no problem... but I NEED to rescue Meg..." he sighed, shaking his head and putting one fist on his hip before rubbing the back of his head.

"So... why don't you stick with me for a while? We'll probably figure out how to deal with Hades along the way?" He smiled despite his reservations and gave a big thumbs up!

Just then, Phil came running up, flailing his arms. "WHOAH, WHOAH, WHOAH, WHOAH rookie! You hold it right there!"

Herc grimaced. "Get ready..." he whispered to Gabranth before turning to his coach.

"I got two words for you, Herc! You. Ain't. GOING!" Philoctites grumbled in his usual off-count manner. "What about the GAMES? Ya can't just up and leave in the middle of this!"

"Phil... You're the one that told me a hero must always follow his heart, right? My heart's with Meg... I gotta go... Gabranth'll be with me too..." the hero responded to the dismayed and unable to argue face of Phil. "You always got Pegasus...?" he added, trying to be helpful.

"Yeah, yeah... I'll make a real THOROUGHBRED outta that mutt..." Phil grumbled, then started walking off. "YOU BETTER COME BACK IN ONE PIECE, OR I'LL KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF!" he yelled over his shoulder, then disappeared behind a small set of doors that lead to his own personal quarters.

"He'll get over it..." Hercules promised his companion, shrugging a bit. "Come on! Let's get to that place your friend told us about!" It just now occured to Hercules he didn't even know the guy's name... oh well. He made his way towards the Gummi Garage!

[ximar]

Ximar tried summoning a corridor himself. Nothing was working. Something was blocking his ability to summon one. "Sai, I'm having no luck. I have no clue what's wrong. This has never happened before."

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia shrugged. "I don't know. I've done it before, except it lowers my energy a bunch..." She shook her hand and held it in front of her, attempting to summon a portal. All that came was a small black and purple flame, going out quickly. She fell on her knees on the ground. Obviously what she said was true, she panted once or twice.

"Nope. It doesn't work. What happened? Maybe it's too far away. Or maybe, or maybe...the way to get there is blocked off? This always worked when Miiaxra did it..." She rambled on, not knowing she was talking until she though about it.

[Lilith]

Lilith followed after Lexia and watched as everyone talked amongst themselves.
she saw as Sai, Ximar and Lexia failed to make a corridor. Lilith sighed.
"here's an idea why not try conventional travel?"

[Sai]

Sai held his chin in thought. The fact that none of the three nobodies could activate a corridor to their destination as... distressing. Still, his demeanor was calm and cool. When Lilith suggested more conventional travel, he had to concede that it was a good point. "Alright... We'll have to procure a gummi ship large enough to hold us, then. Lilith, you of course have your own means of travel..." he paused once more, then looked off.

An experiment was necessary here. Sure, he could have simply WALKED the distance to the hidden entrance, but he needed to know more. With a flick of his hand, a corridor DID open, but this time the destination was not Alexandria. It was to the Gummi Garage. "... Interesting..." Sai muttered, then started walking forward.

"This... does not bode well for our destination... still, more evidence is required before my hypothesis can be tested..." he muttered. He disappeared through the corridor at this...

[going to In the Market, in the Gummi Garage]

[Lilith]

Lilith looked at Lexia, the vampire put a hand on her shoulder.
"do you wanna ride with me?"

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia shrugged and stood up, smiling.

"Why not? If it's no problem."

[Lilith]

The vampire brought down her transport and got on it.
"lets go"

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia joined her on it, holding on to her shoulders tightly. "Heh, me and heights aren't too much of friends..."
