"Hey, everyone okay? We heard gunshots go off" Yami stands at the entrance, leaning against a wall
"YOU SHOULDA SEEN IT, SH!T WAS GOING OFF THE RAILS, THEN THE MECHANIC MADE THIS AWESOME F#CKING MINI-GUN THAT-YOU JUST SHOULDA BEEN THERE" Juul shouts
"This is his creation" Zeus gestures to the Mini-gun
"I call it...Boom Boom" Putty squints
"Oh, hey guys, glad you're back" Flake waves, trotting around, sitting on Fifteen's back
Fifteen wags its tail, staring at Kyron
"You good here?" Prometheus asks
"I can...I can stand, thank you" Posiden leans against the entrance wall
"Hey, we just met your brother, are you two on good terms at all?" Jason asks
"Well...it is complicated, do you mind if I rest for a moment? I need to...adjust my systems" Posiden slowly slides down the wall
"Yeah, sure, we've got one last stop to hit before the day ends, if our luck is good, we'll make it to Athena and convince her, even get the key" Yami stares at the entrance to the sky clan
"We've got something to tell you guys first" Carry starts
"Okay...?" Clara stares at her
"...Ultimas' men are cloning themselves, almost unkillable" Carry explains
"WHAT?" Alayna spits out her margarita
"Oh f#ck" Flake's eyebrows raise
"Just a minor setback, we still know our goal, right?" Selina asks
"It'll just make the final push that much more fun, and we'll have more target practice, we all need it" Yami starts walking towards the sky base
"For a woman who had her back shattered a few hours ago, she's...very persistent" Prometheus laughs
"I think I'll sit this one out, gotta wait for metal" Alex sits down
"Me too" Lite nods
"Wait, who the f#ck are you?" Carry stares at Lite
"I'm Metal's buddy, who the sh!t are you?" Lite asks
"I met Metal yesterday" Carry answers
"We're all friends, don't worry, I'm going with Yami to make sure she doesn't die" Flake smiles, Fifteen following Yami
"I guess I'll go with her too" Kyron follows Flake
"Mar, I got some cards, you wanna play poker?" Jason takes out a deck of cards, shuffling it
"Sure" Mar walks to Jason
"Did you guys get the second key?" Clara asks
"No, Posiden went all rage-mode and he didn't have the key, anyway" Carry sighs
Mar takes the shell out of his pocket, tossing it to Carry, then sitting down to play poker
"That-that is the key, where did you find it?" Posiden asks
"The entrance" Mar answers
"The malware must have hindered my cognitive functions...that explains so much" Posiden stares
"So we did get the key, great" Carry nods
"You going with them?" Selina stares at Juul, crossing her arms
"Nah, don't think I will" Juul answers, drinking from a bottle
"Hey, sis, you should go" Alex smiles"No" Lexia immediately responds
"It'll be fun, I just wanna relax for a second" Alex grins
"I will relax with you then" Lexia sits across from Alex"...I know your crush, okay?" Alex smiles
"Crush...?" Lexia's head slowly turns
"Yeah, like someone you wanna kiss" Alex explains
"Oh, like that time with you and-" Lexia starts
"NO, NONONONO, NOT THAT TIME, NOT HER" Alex shakes his head
"You realize every single one of us can hear you, right?" Jason asks
"I won't force you to do anything you don't wanna do, then" Alex sighs
"...Your tactics are too good" Lexia sighs, getting up
"Hey, what'd I miss?" Metal comes back to the group, Hades with him
"Not much, Putty made a gun of mass destruction, Ultimas' goons are cloning themselves, and Yami, Flake, and Kyron are going to try and recruit Athena" Carry answers
"Zeus..." Hades stares at him
"Hades..." Zeus stares at him
"HOW YA BEEN?" Hades opens his arms
"Doing...moderate" Zeus answers
"That's great" Hades nods
"Are we going to the Parselon?" Metal asks
"Yeah, soon" Juul answers
"All the overseers should be there, even Zeus' sword" Metal explains
"But all of Ultimas' goons too" Clara reminds
"We have a plan, should go pretty well" Selina smiles
"God, I hope so" Prometheus sighs
Everyone stares at him
