For a Friend... (Closed)

[Deleted]

Hades chuckled at the sound of the seriousness of the boys voice. These people thought they could waltz right up in Hades's crib and start ordering him around? WRONG!!!

"Look kid, if ya' want to bargin, make sure you have an ace up your sleeve first, and second. who in Zeus are all of you?"

Hades turned around at the sound of a familiar voice. Was it one from the Hades Cup? he looked over his shoulder to see Sage Ordering[/i] him!!?? Thats it! Hades could deal with a couple unmannered people, but when several decide to show up and bark orders....oh man.

"THATS IT!!! All you people want to do is plead and beg for your lost friends, and what do I get in return? NOTHING! No longer, if you want ANYTHING from me then force me to...." the flames of Hades began to explode with a crimson flash. Mental note: Never anger the God of the Dead when he is seriously pissed.

Rubix had been watching the whole scene of his friends walking into the Underworld and all. This was the last thing he wanted to see, his friends walking into a dangerous territory, especially to meet with the God of Death himself. But why they were here was even more surprising: To save Rubix. It's not like Rubix was really that close of friends to them, Mikael more than any of them, but still he was slightly confused at the matter.

When Rubix saw the one that called himself Sage talk to the God of Death, Hades, like he was on equal ground as he was Rubix could tell that Hades was not going to like that. When people started to throw more and more requests at Hades, it wasn't long before a crimson light show was about to take place. Sure enough, Rubix watched Hades grow furious.

"THATS IT!!! All you people want to do is plead and beg for your lost friends, and what do I get in return? NOTHING! No longer, if you want ANYTHING from me then force me to...."

Rubix eyes flinched a bit when red fire came out of every part of Hades' body. "Oh, boy..." Rubix whispered under his breath. After contemplating what he should do next, he swung his head low and cursed. Looking back up, he jumped down from the ledge he was standing on, landing on his feet and put his hand on Hades' shoulder, which was more warm than anything. Rubix got used to the heat in time.

"Whoa whoa, what do we have here?" Rubix said to Hades, taking his hand off of his shoulder. Maybe I shouldn't touch his shoulder...we aren't even friends... Keep it down Rubix It was a habit of Rubix to get comfortable with people, Gods even, quickly. It was a sign of his slight cockiness when it came to his personality. "Everything alright, Big Guy?" ....Damn it.... "I mean, Hades?"

Rubix made eye contact with all of his friends. It was strange to say the least, haivng them see Rubix the way he is. Although his appearance wasn't any different, he knew that people could still tell there was something not right about him.

((Note to Rubix: Sage is a girl. If you think seeing Hades mad is scary, just keep calling Sage a guy and you'll see how scary I can get. >:3))

It seemed this group had noticed her and included her in a little deal of theirs. No, Sage didn't want to be a part of their little scheme. She just wanted out by herself and only herself. Whatever they were down her for was their fault, not hers. Was she being selfish? Possibly. But she had been killed and she wanted out ASAP, nothing was going to stop her now, not even a little fire.

She felt slight pressure on her back and realized that even in soul form she still had her weapon with her, how odd. Did that mean that she was still connected to her body somehow? She drew the katana from its sheath and walked up close enough to Hades and Rubix to be able to reach out and touch one of them. It appeared she might stab one of them, but instead growled under her breath and stabbed the blade into the ground. Thick liquid rolled down the blade and dripped onto the ground, the poison from the blade.

"You can have my weapon, Hades, what else do you want? I just want to get out of here."[/color]

The seriousness in her eyes was shocking. Despite being dead her jade eyes were still able to give a person a slight chill if she was pissed. In this case she was more serious than pissed, though her eyes still gave that look. She tuned out all the other people there, though there was a lot of talking going on around them, she knew that the Lord of the Dead was probably used to dealing with a couple of unruly souls. If he wanted to get out of this mess than he would have to appeal to each and every one of their demands, probably asking for something in return. That was why Sage was stepping up first, so that perhaps she could get off easy.

(Ok, Shun hasn´t had enough time to post here, so he asked me to post the posting order. He´s posting tomorrow:

Posting Order:
Mikael
Max
Lyon
Erika
Hades
Rubix
Sage
Victoria
Shun
Max...

You will only have one day to post due to the increasing number of people in the thread, if you don´t post you will be skipped. The time, however, can be made longer if the person notifies here about their absence, etc.)

A small, thin hole of water appeared at a stone wall, pretty far from the group of people. It slowly became larger, and larger... and larger, until it was big enough for her to pass through. Of course, Victoria´s entrance was a quite silent one, the hunter being careful enough so that not even a drop of water could be heard. As soon as the portal disappeared, she changed back into her human forme, wondering if her target was still... alive. And to make it more fun, Joey had just told her "he´s in Olympus, search the Underworld". Clear as water? No.

Suddenly, a loud and angry voice was heard, reaching Victoria´s ears. "Take a chill pill, man." She muttered, wondering who this person could be. Indeed, the anger and desperation in his voice could be easily felt. Either, he was going crazy, or someone was really pissing him off. Wait a second.. maybe it was her bounty, pleading or his life. What was his name again? Ah, yeah. Mark Henry. The woman continued to move silently until he discovered what was going on. First of all, there was a... reddish guy with flames at his head. Probably the one that had shouted.

Victoria continued to analyze her surroundings: black haired man touching the explosive guy´s shoulder, another black haired guy wielding a pair of swords, a... scared man wielding a spear, and... finally a girl! Hmm, she seemed to wield a pair of guns. Heh, possibly one who liked to get the job done quickly. There was another boy, the youngest of all. There was something dark about him... nah, maybe it was just the coldness of the place. "Oh! What do we have here?" the bounty hunter thought as her gaze was focused on another girl. She had a... ghostly appearance. Maybe she had died...

Anyway, time to act and see what´s going on. "Calm down man, take a deep breath and count to ten." Victoria walked slowly toward them, not caring about their reactions. "Anyway, you seem to be the flaming type. You don´t happen to know someone named Mark Henry, do you? I´m looking for him, he´s my boun- friend, my friend." Her eyes were fixed at the god´s face as she waited for a reply. Oh, and it better be one that she liked!

(Whoa, whoa. What the hell. I see no In Character reason for you to join this thread. So until there is one given I am disregarding you entire post)

[kiss]

(IC reason? So the Underworld becomes a sort of... elite zone while a thread like this is going on? Victoria is hunting a NPC target, she is a bounty hunter. Bounty hunting can lead you into many places, and the Underworld would not be an exception. Also, the thread is open, PM permission is just required. My character´s involvement has been okd by both Sumdood and Shun, so I do not see why should it be disregarded.)

[sumdood]

(I agree with Victoria, Seed. She has a very strong point with the Bounty Hunting. *shrug* just deal with her presence.you cannot just disregard her post, Seed. you dont always get it the way you'd like it in an RP. now, lets not have any fights/debates/bickerings here. Let's jsut continue on with the thread, please?)

[Ellie who has 0%]

(let's not be like certain members who like to disregard posts. @.@ Also I have a feeling this is going to be chaotic...there's a loooot of people in one thread asking for favors XD)

[Deleted]

(Thats exactly my point Elaeus, I would no choice but to have Hades, IC no less, summon up Cerberus to deal with everyone. Given that thread mainly deals with Rubix's friends trying to get him back, I don't see a reason why Victoria would be in here. With me already giving Neko the okay to join in on this for Hades Cup reasons, there would be too many people for me not to deal out IC Hades punishments..)

[sumdood]

(Then so be it, Seed. Do what you must. Me and Shun brought Victoria in for our own reasons, which you yourself have agreed to be a part of. That's why she's here.)

[Deleted]

(Okay, I wanted to give fair warning. I believe it's Elaeus' turn correct?)

[sumdood]

(Shun's turn, Seed. Then mine. )

[sagefirefox]

((*Was directed here, would be happy to start a solo thread with Hades somehwere else...*))

[Shun]

(Ok, thanks Vic... for bringing chaos and destruction to the thread *shot* Anyway, the thread´s closed now, but Neko can ignore that since you already gave the ok, Seed. )

As Hades began to explode into a bunch of crimson flames, Mikael just blinked. How the hell did he know if he had a plan or not? After all, big surprises come in small packages. "Yeah, whatever Hades. You stil haven´t answered my quest-" The man´s voice became silent as another one was heard. He blinked several times to see if he was dreaming. He was okay! Rubix was alive! Even though he had a sudden urge to run, hug him and say "You´re alive man!", he didn´t. The fire user didn´t move muscle, he was paralyzed by a sudden relief.

"You´re okay... you´re here." he quietly said, his blue gaze still fixed on the boy´s face. He seemed to be well enough, not having the same ghostly appearance as the other girl. However, something wasn´t right... it didn´t feel right. Instead of the usual bright and warm aura, Rubix had a cold and dead one. What could have happened? That wasn´t normal. Not at all.

Mikael suddenly turned back to Hades, before speaking again. "Rubix´s here, now where´s Mira?" Since the young man had appeared before their eyes, maybe the girl would do the same. She was strong, she wouldn´t have been defeated with ease. Or maybe she did... No, he wasn´t going to think about it. She had to be okay, she HAD to be! The Lord of the Death had Mikael´s full attention, which made the latter unable to hear the newcomer´s words clearly.

Max took an involuntary step back as Hades burst into bright red flames, the heat from them washing over him and the others. He put a hand up over his face to shield his eyes from the heat. It made his skin feel like it was tightening up and tightening around his arm bones. It was something he'd actually encountered multiple times before, during fights with Fire Mages on his homeworld.

His thoughts were interrupted as two things happened: first, some....girl came up and started asking about someone. Mark Henry....

...Wait, Mark Henry? Wasn't that the name of the man Nokosu had been trying to find back in Tortuga?

Max quickly shook the thought out of his head. That wasn't important now. What mattered most was the second thing that happened: the re-appearance of Rubix. There he was, seemingly perfectly find, trying to calm Hades down.

Max, however, didn't know if it would work, and so he reacted the only way he knew to. He quickly used his power to feel around for water, and quickly found some in a large river nearby. So, he gathered as much as he could, and sent it flying at the God of the Dead, dousing his flames.

"Cool down," Max said, raising an eyebrow at the God,"There's no need to get so worked up."

Max just stood there, not saying anything else. The spirits there still had him uneasy. However, he was using the God of Death in front of him to block them out of his mind. He was trying to keep from thinking about them.
