LEVEL NINE- Sreä fúu

Luca glanced at Andrew, who was staring at Enki with a calm look on his face. The atmosphere wasn't tense, but there was something about Enki that Luca just didnt trust.

"What do you want?" he asked.

Enki cocked his head, looking like an inquisitive puppy. " Merely to follow up on your progress to reclaim Searte's throne."

Luca's eyes rolled of their own accord. "Whatever. He has a point though, we've been dawdling long enough here. We should move soon."

Cole grunted in agreement, standing and shoving what was left of his burger into his inventory. " I'll eat you on the way sweetheart. Don't go anywhere!".

Liz giggled. "Cole you're an idiot!"

"Blonde girl say whaaa?"

The team- except Liz- burst into laughter. Liz just pouted and scoffed, walking ahead of the group by a few paces.

Luca walked next to Andrew, making sure to keep the pixel god in his sights.

"Andrew, dont you think maybe something isnt right about this whole situation? Enki is way too keen on getting us to Searte's throne to get the power or the kingdom or whatever."

Andrew looked over his shoulder at the pixel god, who was looking around with an aloof look on his face. " Maybe we just need to be a little cautious for now until we're sure he isnt planning something."

The walk into DC wasn't as peaceful as theyd hoped it to be. FRAG's and their usual underlings, FRAG SLAVE made the journey somewhat difficult. They ran into a few NPC's, but there was little to no reaction from them towards the players trudging into town.

Cole looked over a few cars on the street, using his ~OBSERVE~  skill to check if anyone would be suitable for a journey in and out. Finally settling on a military truck with a gattling gun in the open trunk, they drove towards the Lincoln memorial and parked across the monument.

"So what exactly are we supposed to do here?" Cole asked, observation skill at work looking for hidden doorways or trap switches.

Enki materialized in front of them and glitched his way up to Lincoln's shoulder. "I met this man once, was really impressive. Did you know he was secretly a vampire hunter? No? Well they wont teach you that in school."

The pixel god slid a delicate hand into Lincoln's ear. Andrew sniggered. "Its considered disrespectful to give the president a wet willy, statue or not."

Enki said nothing. Didn't even smile.
Suddenly, Cole's ~OBSERVE~ went into overdrive mode, flashing a yellow warning sigh with a hazard symbol on it.

"Um guys? I think-"

" Shhhhh!! Do you hear that Cole? The door is opening."

" I really think we should-"

" Do you guys hear some kinda scratching sound?"

" Andrew, Luca! We gotta scram! Liz grab-"

Cole paused, eyes glazing over. " Where's Bethany?" Cole looked around in a strange frantic calmness, praying that his skill was only glitching.

Up on top of the Shoulder of the Abraham Lincoln memorial statue, was Bethany Garter, decapitated, sword through her chest at a freakish angle, dangling from an ~IMMORTALS CHAIN OF WRATH~.  Enki was nowhere in sight. The others hadn't noticed and were walking into the door that appeared in between Lincoln's legs, yelling for Cole to follow.
