HB looked at the building of clouds when Barry and Sarah met him at the wall. He had stood in thought for 10 minutes, planning and making sure it would work. After that, he had waited for them.
"Hey, Sarah, Barry... Listen, we're going to blast through the doors, okay? Then, we split up, you two cause as much chaos as you can, divert the main forces. That'll make it easier for me to get my baby out of there... Okay?"
Sarh smiled and Barry simply nodded. They were both okay with the idea.
"Okay, lets go!"
"NO!"
Barry had shouted, and HB turned back to them.
"What?"
"We need to rest. You've had half an hour to rest here, we're tired."
"Fine... 10 minutes enough?"
"It'll do..."

Chris was relieved that they finally made it. He looked down at the narrow passage and got a bit worried as he saw the outlines of 3 bodies, yet confused to see a total of 8, when there were only supposed to be 7. He had a good sized group of the air forces break off and assist the 4 on in the passage for support.
Chris had the hippogryph fly down so he could speak with the five who were alive. As he got closer he saw that SD was there, which accounted for the extra person. He landed and made his way to them, the hippogryph following right behind him.
He approached them and saw Liam using SD's sword, while SD was using magic. He grabbed SD's shoulder and bent backwards to dodge a reflexive fireball.
"Glad to see you still value my life SD," Chris said, patting a flame off his cloak. "What took you so long! Do you know how much longer you took! Liam nearly died" SD shouted in his face. The others turned to look. "Great to see you too SD," he said casually, "And the reason we took a bit longer was because we were attacked by some sort of scouting force, we had to kill em off,"
Chris said "excuses" at the same time SD did, just to annoy her for his own amusement.
"JUST GET BACK UP THERE AND FIGHT," she said as her face turned red.
Chris grinned and turned around, spreading his wings in a flash. He got ready to take off, but the hippogryph bit his cloak. Muttering things under his breath, he retracted his wings and hopped on, and held on as the hippogryph flew into the air to join the others.
Up in the sky, he watched over the two aerial armies as they tore and bit and shot projectiles at each other. He had the hippogryph fly to the front lines, but not before taking a bow from a dead archer. He flew down the line perpendicular to the two armies and fired. He was happy he was getting the headshots he wanted, but he knew it was probably because he was so close.
After running out of arrows, he threw the bow away in the direction of Sethus' army. He was flying away when he heard a dragon roar behind him. He looked back and saw a dragon with one eye closed flying straight at him. He saw it was rather large, and he also saw that the rider wasn't able to control it. He sighed as he realized he must have hit it in the eye with the bow. Just my luck he thought as he had the hippogryph increase speed.
They were zooming around the other forces as jets of flame blasted to one side or the other, slowly inching their way closer to hitting their target. Chris thought they has lost them because of the halt in fire, but it came up from behind them and blew another blast of fire at them. The two swerved, but the hippogryph got a bit of flame in its rear end, removing all the feathers.
Chris knew that this would slow them down, so he jumped off the hippogryph after hoping it understood his order of "Stay alive". He extended his wings and flew towards the dragon, his hand at the handle of his katana. He dodged the fire's and made it on the dragon. He knocked the rider off and grinned as he saw one of their dragons gobble him up. Chris grabbed a couple knives off his body and stabbed them into succession into the dragon, like a climber on a rock cliff. He made his way to the dragon's head, which was still trying to buck him off, and shoved his sword deep into its skull. He leapt off, leaving the knives on the dragon's body as it plummeted to the floor.
Chris looked around and saw that the armies were fighting pretty evenly. He didnt want this. He needed a win. Chris flew down to the ground and ordered a few riders to come follow him.
"I need you to get all the dead bodies you can find and pile em up here. After that, pull all the flesh off the bone and put it in a new pile. If you can't find enough dead bodies, feel free to use... not so dead bodies," he said with an evil grin.
He watched as the team carried out his orders. In a few minutes there was a rather large pile of bones before him. Chris cracked his fingers and raised them over the pile. They glowed a sickly green as the bones began arranging a skeleton. In about minute, he had formed a 20 foot dragon composed completely of bones. Though it looked quite fragile, it was easily one of the meanest looking dragons ever. He was actually quite proud of himself, though he wanted to make a larger one, he knew he needed to save some energy for later.
He set the dragon loose on the enemy, before turning around to look for the others, and see how everything else was going.

When Chris left to the fight, both Light and Darkness were only barely holding the force field. Even though they were more now, the enemy was close to breaching the field, when it stopped.
"Don't let go Light, they are tricking us..." Darkness muttered.
"I don't think they will be back soon... Look!" Light pointed up to the skies, where the 20 ft. bone dragon was flying, thining the enemy lines. They looked at it and concluded their next move.
"Light, please stay on guard. If anything comes, tell me and I'll help you set the force field again."
"I will, Darkness, I will."
Light left the area, and Darkness began to speak.
"My queen, you and Liam must not stay here. Me, Stefan, and Light can still fight - you however, cannot. He is half dead, and you won't be able to fight thinking of him, besides the danger of having Sethus around the battle!"
"No, Darkness, I will stay. I have more than enough power to avenge Liam's wounds, though we still need to get him out of here."
"No, I will stay!" Liam shouted.
"I can't let you die, Liam!"
The queen seemed detached from the world. But who can tell what went through her mind at that moment? She alone.
"They are coming back!" Light shouted running through the passage.
"Let's hold them out of here!" Darkness brought up the forcefield the moment Light got to them.
"Light, get Twilight in here! We need help!"
Light seemed to be meditating, while the others were fighting. Spells and swords flew toward anyone crossing the forcefield - and there were more than few, with Darkness alone holding the field.
At once, Twilight appeared, Crowned, With an almost unnoticed smile.
A moment later, the passage was blocked with an impassable forcefield.
"I heard you were endangered, Light and Darkness. Is there anything else you need before I go to reinforce this planet defenses?"

With a roar, the trio forced the door open and charged into the building. There were corridors all around. Sarah ran in one direction, Barry in another, while HB followed his heart, searching for his baby.
It wasn't long before he heard sounds of conflict behind him, Sarah and Barry locked in battle with angels or whatever else could be guarding the building. They had anticipated their invasion of this building, and must have decided to guard it heavily. Nonetheless, HB continued unopposed, and then he found the room.
The room was nearly empty, except for all the babies, piled on top of each other. Some were crying, some laughing, and some just lying there silently. Above them all, hanging from the ceiling, was another baby in a cage. He barely had to look at the child to know she was his...
"So you're a girl..."
He knew what he had to do to reach her... The cage was far to high. he needed to stand on something to reach it, but there was no furniture at all. He was struck by how he had to reach her, and the idea sickened him. There were only two options, and he knew which he would prefer. The cage could be reached by flying, but he knew he couldn't fly, so...
"I have to stand on the babies..."

"Twilight, I need your help. Can you make sure that Liam gets to a safe location? Please?" Darkness asked.
"I believe so."
With a knack of fingers, Liam was no longer there.
"What did you do?! Where is Liam?!" The queen asked ferociously.
"With the rest of your army. I believe your friend is with him. Light, Darkness, You two should go fight. You are still far from victory."
Light and Darkness hesitated, but went away to the fight.
"Liam's better be in safe hands... " The Queen started to speak.
Twilight cut her in the middle. "Safe hands Indeed. We have little time, lady. Sethus is going to contact Baal soon. Your army might win this fight - but with a prime demon aside, Sethus will overwhelm you. We both don't want that to happen."
"Do you?" The queen asked.
"No, I do not. I have acquired a certain artifact which might hold the conversation from happening, and might not. It is called the Crown of Worlds. This artifact prevents me from using any delicate magic - I just have to channel so much power that I can't do anything weak, wether I like it or not. However, I can still sense Sethus is around that battlefield, and I'm going to intercept him. You need to, too."
"He isn't there."
"Perhaps. But the chances are even. We cannot waste any more time - Go wherever you please."
Twilight started to move on, but stopped.
"If you find him, don't fight him. There is little chance you will survive such battle, And I'd hate to see your death."
And with those words, Twilight dissapeared into the darkness.
----------------------------------------------
"Jull, dear child " The coucil spoke with the thousand voices, "You need to go to heaven. They have problems there. Your Squad is already assembelled."
"But first, promise me to consider getting in the battle with Sethus!"
The council voice became angered.
"We do not tolerate commands, little one. Go finish your orders. We wil speak of this no further."
Jull went out of the chamber troubled. It was her friend out there, Light, who had saved her a countless times. On the other hand, only one of THEM could cause so much trouble in heaven. Well, there was only one thing stronger than her love to her friends - her hate to her enemies. She hated them with an almost primal hate, only accepting Light's plea for help because it would save her life. But now, having one of them in heaven... This was intolerable.

Queen SD:
He had appeared out of nowhere. There was a flash of light and Liam had landed in Nolana's arms. The elf had yelled in surprise and had dropped him but the man was able to stand right back up. He seemed just as confused as she was.
"What happened... Where am I?" he mumbled. "Liam? You're with the main Dark SiDe army, some miles away from the castle. And I have no idea what just happened." Nolana answered, signing to the army to come to a halt. "Obviously you were teleported here, but why? What happened out there Liam? Are the others okay?" "NO! They sent me away... They didn't want me to fight. No, they can't do this to me! I want to fight!" at that, the man raised his right arm with force, holding Evenice up. Suddenly a rush of pain forced him to his knees and he dropped the sword. Nolana quickly came to his aide. "That's the Queen's sword. What has happened? Liam!" the elf shook him but he just coughed and brought his hand where his wound used to be. "Liam, stay with me-" but the man was losing the fight to remain conscious. "I really don't want to do this but I have no other choice." She closed her eyes and turned to the army. It's better they don't know what's going on, it will only feel like a split second to them anyway. I must know what is the fate of my fellow Dark SiDers and most importantly, the Queen.
Nolana summoned all her powers and raised her left arm in the air. In an instant, the whole world around her seemed to freeze. Not a leaf stirred in the trees around them, the army had ceased to move and she could even spot a bug, not too far away, frozen in the air as it was flying. Then her vision begun to blur, everything was fading away; the trees, the army, the bug. The elf was in the middle of nowhere, there was nothing but black surrounding her. The darkness surrounding her didn't last for long. She could feel ripples forming around her, like someone had thrown a rock in the crystal waters of a lake, and light burst from within her. Then she was falling. At first it was slow, as if she was sinking in the sea, but she soon started accelerating. Little colourful dots swirled all around her; rays of light flew past and disappeared into the distance. Her heart was beating quickly and even though there was no wind surrounding her, she could feel that she was now moving faster than if would have been physically possible. She brought her arms by her side and closed her eyes, before mumbling a short spell. When she opened them, the rays of light seemed to be moving in slow motion. Or was she moving much faster than before now? Nolana extended her arms; it was time. With the tip of her finger she touched the ray of light of her right and let its energy flow into her. For the last time she shut her eyes and relaxed completely, allowing her being to merge with it. She was now one with the ray, traveling with it at the speed of light. It was close, she could feel it, she was reaching the barrier which separated the world - if you would call it that – she was in with the physical one on earth. Finally, with a burst of light, she broke free.
All that described above happened in less than a split second, but time is a relative things and what seems like a moment to one person may seem like an hour to another. Funny how time works, isn't it?
When Nolana opened her eyes she was in a narrow passage. Around her chaos was erupting. This must be were the battle is held, she realized. As swords clanged and spells were uttered, no one even noticed she was there. She walked towards the heart of the battle, the place the Dark SiDers were holding their ground.
"Contact the others; we can’t hold them for much longer. And be quick about this, the fire wall wont last forever." She heard Stefan shout, probably to Liam who then nodded. The man was putting a lot of effort in holding up a wall of fire, blocking the enemies. Liam walked away, trying to reach a telepathic connection with someone. He was heading straight towards her, but the elf didn't move. When he reached her he didn't pause, he simply walked through her as if he hadn't seen, heard or felt her at all. Nolana was not the least bit surprised. To them she was nothing but a ghost of the future. She followed him.
Nolana saw how Liam tried to contact the Queen. She saw how the enemies managed to blast through the fire block with a powerful spell, causing a small explosion and injuring men from both sides. She saw the few Dark SiDers that were left fight bravely and she saw one of Sethus' warlocks stab Liam near the heart, with a powerful blade. The events unfolded before her eyes, as if she had been there. Except she hadn't, and there was nothing she could do. She saw everything, how the Queen arrived, how the battle developed until the moment Liam was teleported to her.
When there was nothing more to see, the image started fading away, until she was left standing right where she had started, in front of the army with Liam on the ground next to her. The others had no idea what had just happened. For them, only a split second had passed since Nolana had raised her left arm in the air. The elf blinked and slowly brought her arm down.
"The Queen is alive, so is Stefan and Darkness. Chris just arrived at the battlefield, we must hurry." She spoke loud, using a spell which ensured that the whole army had heard her. A roar of joy sounded at once. Nolana smiled and kneeled down to Liam's level. "As for you", she took out a small vial from her belt, filled with a strange green liquid, "drink this." She brought a few drops of the liquid to Liam's lips and made sure he swallowed them. The effect was immediate. The man's eyes shot open and he looked around. "What-" he started but Nolana explained. "The blade you were stabbed with was poisoned. You are lucky I happened to be carrying this antidote with me." The man simply nodded. "So, would you like to be taken back to the castle and-" "NO!" it was Liam who had cut her short this time. "I am not running! I want to fight." Nolana smiled, bent down and picked up Evenice. "Then get in the lines" she threw the sword at him. Liam caught it in mid air, all the pain he had felt before gone. He took his place at the front and started marching with the rest of the army, as Nolana gave the sign for them to start moving again.
_____________
Queen SD had grabbed two enemy swords from the ground and was trying them out in the battlefield. They were nothing compared to the pure, elf-made Evenice she was used in holding but they would have to do. Another dozen men fell unconscious on the ground before her but of course more were there to take their place. Now matter how many she would slaughter, there were always others to take their place. Then came the warlocks. Deadly to the bone, they performed powerful magic and held poisonous blades. The Queen fought by Chris' side, causing notable damage to the enemy lines.
Out of the blue, an arrow ripped through the air, SD sensed it despite all the chaos. One moment she was fighting a warlock, the other the was standing next to Chris, with her arm extended and in her hand she was holding the arrow, just a few inches away from the man's face. "Nice catch." He mumbled. The Queen rolled her eyes. "How do you live when I'm not around?" she mocked and threw the arrow away. Chris just shook his head and stepped aside. SD let a laugh escape her as she saw the look on his face. Then suddenly his eyes widened, he raised his sword and hurled himself at the Queen. What is he doing? Is he mad? Will he kill me? Am I dead? thoughts rushed through her mind and she let out a little yell, totally caught off guard. The blow, however, never came. Chris impaled with his sword something behind her and she felt that something – or rather, someone – slump on the ground lifeless. The man pulled his sword back and wiped the blood off. Samantha turned around and saw the warlock which would have attacked her lying dead, with his sword still in his hand. "How do you live when I'm not around?" Chris quoted her, trying to imitate her voice. The Queen shot him an annoyed look and tried to walk away, only to be pushed back by another warlock. "Looks like you're stuck here with me." He laughed as he fought off anyone who met his path. Then he said "whatever" exactly at the same time as SD did, just to annoy her some more. He loved teasing the Queen; the look on her face when she got mad at him was priceless. "Don't you have anything better to do? Like looking out for archers, for example." She shot back and continued to fight. And so the battle continued.
_____________
At first Cho didn't understand how Tundra did it, but soon enough he had gotten the hang of it. Being a spirit, it was even easier for him to sense the enemy's next moves and soon they had the demon cornered. The ringing in their ears was now killing them, they couldn't last much longer. Cho, as a dragon, let his powerful jaw meet the demon's throat, his teeth impaling the creature all the way to the bone, until it dropped on the floor lifeless. The ringing was abruptly gone. "What was that?" Tundra mumbled and immediately grabbed her neck. "I can talk!" "The demon was messing with our hearing, we could always talk but we weren't able to hear ourselves. Nice work, but lets get out of here, we've wasted precious time." Estella's voice sounded out of the woman's body as she took control once again. "Okay let's speed things up a bit. Estella, climb up." Cho kneeled down and motioned to the woman to climb on his back. "What? You can't be serious!" the woman took a step back. "Do you want to get there in time or not?" the dragon argued. "Whatever, I'll do it." Tundra suddenly took control and hopped on the dragon's back. Cho laughed to himself and as soon as the woman was gripping him tight around his neck, he was off.
He ran as fast as he could, as flying was impossible in the dark, narrow corridors that followed, but it was still much quicker that travelling on human legs. Cho had to be careful not to make any sudden moves that could cause Tundra to fall off and keep his wings close to him, so they wouldn’t blush against the dusty, stone wall, but other than that, he had no trouble running.
"Wait a second..." the dragon mumbled as he slowly came to a halt. "What is it?" Tundra asked, slightly worried. "I could swear we've been in this spot before. This means we may be going in circles." The dragon replied. "But we didn't take one turn... we went straight forward!" "Or did we? Take a closer look at the ground." Tundra looked, she saw nothing. "What is it? It looks perfectly normal to me." Cho shook his head. He smashed his tail against the wall, causing a slight crack to form. He hit again, this time not as hard, until a small part of it fell off. He took the stone in his mouth and held it in there until a bright blue light emitted from it. When he let the stone out of his jaws, it had formed into a beautiful, light blue pearl. "How did you-" Tundra gasped. "Magic" he smiled. "Why did you-" "You'll see."
Soon enough, the round pearl started moving away from them and further into the corridor, accelerating as if it was going down a slope. The woman watched with her eyes wide open. "But, this is impossible!" she mumbled. "This is the ancient library you're talking about. Strange things can happen here. Things that aren't meant to happen in the real world." He paused for a bit, then continued, "You know how on earth – or any planet - if you keep walking straight forward, assuming that you can, you'll end up going around it and eventually reach the spot where you started from?" "Yeah, of course. But what does that have to do with-" then it hit her. "No. It's impossible!" "Oh yes. Somewhere below our feet is some sort of gravity field which forces us to walk around a sphere." "Like we're on a mini planet?" the woman sounded both scared and excited. "I suppose you could call it that." "Wait, if that is so, how come the pearl just slipped down like it was a slope? Why wasn't it held by gravity?" "Exactly my thoughts." The dragon grinned. Tundra bit her lip as she was hit with realisation. "It only attracts live beings." She mumbled, Cho nodded.

Tundra:
Tundra was fascinated. This place still surprised her!
Every now and then, Estella would, for a spilt second, take control whenever she thought that Tundra's grip on Cho wasn't quite enough to keep them seated! Which of course, made Tundra laugh. She was warming up to Estella, she was quite a character, even though she was living inside of her. It was nice though, to have someone to keep you company..she pondered. She thought this was what it must be like for Cho and the Queen. To have a friend to rely on. "Grey!" Tundra suddenly called out. "Where is he?" She turned back, trying to squint in the darkness for any glimpse of her best friend. Nothing. "He'll be alright....trust me.." Estella seemed to comfort from the insides of Tundra's mind.
Tundra began thinking of all the fun they'd had together, she realised, a bit of a funny place to get nostalgic but... Which then, in turn, brought her on to flying and her glider. How she missed it. All the crashes and problems with... "Thrust." "What?" Cho called back. "Thrust!" Tundra exclaimed. "Cho! If this place has enough power to create the gravity of a mini planet...then how on earth are we going to be able to get what we're looking for? It could be hidden anywhere? And if we're stuck her going around in circles." "Yes, but what does that have to do with Thrust?" Estella asked. "Tundra means that, to break the laws of gravity, you've got to have more power yourself; more thrust. That's how you fly." "Yes, so... how are we going to have enough power, if it can keep us going around to the same point we started at?"

HB groaned at the sight of the babies, and decided to make a risky move. He lifted his sword and hurled it at one of the walls near him, embedding it in. He watched, and realised it didn't move.
"Of course... The walls are as rigid as the floor! So, if I had handholds, I could climb up it... Just got to test... Will it hold my weight?"
HB jumped up, and grabbed the top of the doorway with both hands, and started to swing himself. Eventually, he figured he had enough momentum, and let go of the door, propelling himself onto the sword. The sword had stuck in with the sharp edge of the blade facing down, so HB was stood with one foot on the hilt and one on the back of his sword. It was precarious, and he wasn't even halfway to his baby yet...
"This could take a while... Or at least some amazing skill and precision..."
HB grimaced as he put one hand on the hilt of the blade, and moved his weight onto it as he placed his feet on the wall. He jumped, and the sword slid out, just as he had hoped, and he dug it into the wall on the far side of the room, but now he was hanging underneath it by one hand. He was only slightly higher.
"Well, at least we know it works..."
HB climbed back up onto the sword, and repeated the process, until he was halfway to his baby. He leaned against the wall, still standing on his sword, sweat dripping down his body. It was working, but slowly...

OWA:
The battle just raged on as Chris and SD continued thinning enemy troops. They started attracting quite a bit of attention from the enemy and a good portion of them took their attention off the rest of their army to attack these two specifically. Quite a foolish move to say the last.
Chris and SD stood back to back to back as lines of warriors ran at them. Their moves mimicked each other as they slaughtered the ones that came within striking distance. Eventually the standard troops moved back as a they brought a rather large armor plated soldier in. He charged at the two. Chris whispered something to SD, and though she seemed hesitant, the two stood side by side, right in the path of the warrior.
Right before they were trampled, the two sidestepped and as the soldier was just between them, the two swung their sword at the same time, with Chris' katana attacking the back, and SD's two swords attacking the soldiers front. As the three swords passed, the soldier, armor and all, fell to four pieces.
Chris grinned and said, "I told ya it would work," as the rest of the enemy army rushed towards them.
Two soldiers ran at Chris, who jumped over them and pushed them at SD, whose back was turned. She sensed the two, and stabbed her two swords behind her, before pulling them and and spinning around to decapitate them as Chris leapt over her and cleaved another soldier in half.
"Pretty good," SD said casually, but Chris pulled grabbed her shoulder and pushed her down so he could rend the head off a solder behind her. All she saw of the soldier was the head, flying past Chris'.
"Watch yourself," Chris said, grinning "Whatever," the two said simultaneously "Just go watch out for....archers..." she said suddenly sounding low "Haha, very funny," Chris said, but SD pointed behind him. Chris turned and saw over twenty archers in an arc formation taking aim at them.

Queen SD:
"Think you can block them telepathically?" Chris whispered. The Queen shook her head. "I could but it would take a lot of energy. We need something less tiring." The archers were now about to fire. Chris and SD looked at each other. "Air" they said at the same time.
The moment the enemy fired, man and woman combined their powers and summoned the element of air. A gust of wind surrounded them and begun to spin at great speed, like a shield. Almost immediately, dirt lifter from the ground and clouded their vision, separating them from the rest of the world. They held it for a bit longer, to ensure they were safe and then let go. The air around them slowly begun to return to its normal state, though the dirt was still not resting.
Did it work? SD wondered, letting her thoughts flow into Chris' mind as well. Judging by that fact that we have not been impaled by dozens of arrows, I'd say yes. came the answer from the man. Do you see anything? Just as the Queen spoke, the dirt around them begun to slightly clear. They turned around and saw that a line of enemies had been hit by the arrows, instead of them and multiple others had been thrust away by the force of the wind. The rest were in utter confusion. "Nice..." she mumbled. But when they looked behind their backs, they were surprised to see that the archers were all intact from the attack, though they still seemed to be having some trouble with their vision. "They're alive?!" the Queen was taken aback. True, the attack they had used did not consume a lot of energy, but it was certainly enough to kill some mare humans. "Not for long" a smile crawled up Chris' face. He pulled out his katana and charged.
Samantha dashed at the enemy as well and in her excitement, reached for her own sword. She clenched her fists as she found the sheath empty and remembered that she had given Evenice to Liam. I just hope he's ok, she thought as she hurled three flame balls at the enemy archers. Previously she had been fighting using two ordinary swords she had picked up in the battlefield, but she had dropped them when they had performed the air summon.
"Hey you!" Queen SD suddenly shouted as she spotted a man in a black cloak make a run for it. Warlock. He must have been protecting them, she realized. Samantha rushed after him and as she ran, bent down and picked up one of the dead archer's bows and a single arrow. She paused for a second, then shot. The arrow went through the man's back and he slumped on the ground unconscious; she had hit his heart.
"Nice shot", Chris' voice sounded as he brought down his katana and the last archer around them was slaughtered, "but why didn't you just finish him off with magic? Or were you just showing off?" "Warlocks", the woman quickly explained, "can't easily be harmed by magic." "Excuses" he laughed.
"Chris, I have to leave. You will be fine; just try not to get yourself killed." SD suddenly said as she called out to a hippogryph from above, to come and pick her up. "What? You're ditching us huh? Fine..." Chris put on a 'hurt' voice. The Queen shot him a warning look. "Sethus must be stopped; I've already stayed here for too long." "Okay, just... try not to get yourself killed." Was the last thing he said, before SD mounted the hippogryph and was off in the clouded sky.

"Heh, with SD gone, i guess that mean's it's just..How the heck did I get surrounded?" Chris yelled out, shocked upon noticing his current situation.
He held his katana up as the circle closed in and attacked. He ducked and sliced the legs off of two and dove through their two legless bodies as they fell on each other. Chris the used two swift strokes of the sword to remove the arms of a soldier He used his left hand to push the useless warrior away, as his right hand stabbed his katana through a charging enemy. A soldier behind the one Chris impaled wasn't able to stop in time and was also skwered by the black blade.
Chris slid his katana out of the two bodies and slashed at the soldier trying to attack his back. The soldier's now two pieces fell to different sides of Chris as he blocked an attack by another soldier. He spun his sword around and knocked the enemy's blade away. He didn't even let the enemy swordsman turn to run before beheading him.
Chris turned and saw a trio of fireballs flying at him. He used his sword to slash at the closest flaming projectile. It exploded, and Chris was knocked a few feet back. He looked up and saw two more warlocks assist the first one as they fired a flurry of flames at Chris.
He slashed and dodged fireball after fireball until they stopped shooting. At that point, Chris charged at them through the cloud of smoke that had accumulated from the explosions. Once he got out of the smoke, he saw the first warlock charging a lightning bolt. Chris couldn't be happier.
Chris held his katana up and used it to absorb the bolt of electricity into himself. He then mixed it with a little necromancy and fired a bolt of black energy at the three, shredding them to pieces.
Chris smiled to himself, taking the enemy free moment to ponder what the others were doing. He could only get a moment though, because a dragon rider dropped down from the sky in front of him.

Tundra:
They stood in silence. "I..I don't know." Estella finally muttered. For the first time, she sounded dejected...something that scared Tundra. Even Cho seemed to be lost for words. "This can't be the end of the road..." Tundra muttered, under her breath.
Suddenly, a barking came from in front of them. "Grey?!" Tundra leapt off of Cho's back and ran down to her beloved hound. "You're alright!" She laughed as Grey licked her face in greeting. She could feel Estella smile inside of her, and her hand moved to stroke his chin. Grey lapped up the attention for a while; even Cho was pleased to see him, but then he began pacing backwards and forwards. "What is it?" Cho asked. Tundra struggled to make out what Grey was trying to say, something wasn't right. "I..I think he wants us to follow him." She frowned. "But Grey...we can't.."
Then it suddenly dawned on her. Her eyes grew wide. She turned around and exclaimed in a flurry of words... "We're stuck going around in a circle because of the gravity right??" She paused...the others didn't move. "So we thought that we wouldn't be able to break free to find it..." Again, she paused, to see whether the others had guessed. "But what if we didn't? What if it required a different type of power? What if...what if it was buried? Maybe this is all leading us TO it, rather than trapping us!!!"

OWA:
Chris rolled and dodged another jet of flame as he ran, trying to get to away from the front of the dragon. He cut soldiers down as he ran to the dragon's tail and ran up its spine. He reached behind him and flung a knife at the dragonrider as it shot an arrow at him. The perfectly sharpened knife tore straight through the arrow, not slowing down until it hit its target. The blade pierced the rider's skull before the still standing, lifeless body was pushed off by Chris.
Chris ran further along the dragon's back, when a bathorse flew down from the sky and tackled him in the back. Chris managed to grab one of the dragon's spines and hold on to it as he dangled off the edge of the now flying dragon.
The dragon turned its head, biting, trying to reach and chomp on Chris. Chris waited, as the jaws that brought with them a gruesome end, slowly got closer. When he felt that it was close enough, he stabbed his katana into the dragon's eye, and pulled himself on.
Chris wasn't able to stay on its back long though, as it thrashed and spun in the air violently. He fell off but managed to extend his wings and make his way away from the raging dragon. He was heading for the floor when another bathorse zoomed at him. He was hit hard, but managed to grab the horses back leg and pull himself into a position where he could slice the creature in half.
Chris retracted his wings and fell to the floor, landing lightly. A moment later, a splash of blood fell around him, and a moment after that, the two pieces of the bathorse fell to his left and right.
Chris stood up and severed an attacking soldier's legs before turning around to survey the battlegrounds. He saw up in the sky, the dragon still thrashing about, doing some considerable damage to their own airforces trying to defeat the half blind dragon. He smiled as he sent the order, and watched their airforces scatter like flies as the undead dragon approached.
It came up on the dragon's blind side, taking it completely by surprised. It grabbed ahold of it with its long bony claws and ripped it's throat out with it's powerful jaws. It let go as the dragon died as it fell to the ground, bleeding all over the battlefield.
"Well that was interesting,"Chris said to himself as the dragon hit the floor with a thud, causing a slight tremble in the ground. "I wonder what's going to happen next," he said out loud as he heard a loud as a roar sounded loudly."

HebrewB:
HB grimaced as he forced his aching muscles to work... He had been jumping for an hour and was almost there.
"The babies were just there to give false hope... The bastards... Just a few more feet 'till I can reach... Come on..."
He jumped once more, and again, and again. He calculated he was just a few minutes away from his baby. He kept jumping until he knew he could reach her without jumping off the sword and leaving it. He reached up to the cage and grabbed the bottom of it. He lifted the cage slightly and unhooked it from the chain holding it against the cieling of the huge room.
"I've got ya baby... I've got ya..."
He held the cage firmly in his hands, when he realised...
"I can't jump from wall to wall again... I'm too tired and she could get hurt... And jumping down could hurt her too. What am I supposed to do now?"
He stood on his sword near the top of the room when he saw it. A small opening at the top of the room. The chain led all the way up to it.
"Oh, great. I'll be completely blind for it... But there's no other choice."
There's nothing up there waiting for you.
"How the hell do you know that?"
Astral projection. How do you think I got into you?
"Oh, you twat... You've been able to leave me this whole time?"
You had potential for amusement, and I've got to say, despite the transvestitism, you've been very amusing. Don't wear dresses in front of your kids. It could traumatise them.
"Kids? I only have one kid..."
Don't be so sure of that... Remember that woman a long time ago, when you were still on the run?
"Oh... I can't believe I forgot about her... Something Vulpa... Right?"
Jessica Vulpa.
"That's it... Anyway, talking about the past ain't gonna help me right now. I need to rest a bit."
And I suppose you want me to help you?
"What with?"
Those guys down there...
"What guys? Oh..."
HB looked down and saw that below them were 2 angels, both looking up at him, waiting...
"Well, if you wouldn't mind... But not using my body..."
Well how can I help then? My body is in a whole other dimension, I can't get there right now...
"You have a body?"
This isn't the time for discussion, look!
The angels had taken off, flying slowly, cockily up at HB...

Tundra:
Cho frowned. "There's no way it would be that easy!" He sighed. Estella walked over to Grey, who was sniffing the wall frantically. She frowned. "What is it?" Cho enquired... "Look...." Tundra breathed.
Along the wall was the most intricate and detailed carvings Tundra had ever seen. In fact, there was only one thing that resembled these, and she hadn't seen them for a very long time...the last time she saw them, she was very ill and there were on shields belonging to... "Elven carvings.." Cho gasped. Tundra cocked her head on one side, as a strange twang in her chest tweaked her muscles. Cho looked at her with sincere concern. "Tundra, are, are you alright?" She looked up at him, and smiled...her eyes seemed to swirl. For a moment Cho looked startled, but he dismissed it as Estella's inhabitance. "I'm okay thank you....As am I!" Tundra and Estella reassurred him. They all stood in silence for a moment, before a whine from Grey brought them back.
"So what do these mean?" Tundra asked...they seemed familliar, but she couldn't be certain. She was sure that Estella would know for sure but the strange feeling in her stomach told her otherwise. "Don't you know?" Cho asked. Estella shifted uncomfortably in Tundras small frame. "Well, this particular scripted version is..." She sighed. "Different to the norm. Not only is it Ancient Elven, but from the looks of things, it was adapted to a specific sect." She began to pace. "This sort of translation might take...too long, and we don't even know if it's relevant!" She sighed, exhasperated. A few short sharp barks from Grey. "Fine, it is relevant." Estella looked tired, her voice wavered slightly. Cho, for a moment, wavered with her. But then looked up and grinned, a firm resolution in his eyes. "Right then! We might as well not waste any more time then! Let's get translating! I know a fair amount of basic Elven, soooo I'll do some rough translating, and you guys can patch it up later! Estella, and..or..Tundra, you girls can to that section over there and Grey..." He stopped and glanced at Tundra to check if she was listening...she wasn't... Cho dropped his voice and spoke to Grey "You can do that little part over there, bark three times when you're done and I'll let Estella know.."
Grey seemed to nod and he bounded off over to his section. Cho sighed heavily, and turned to his part of scripture. "It's going to be a long night...let's just hope we can do it in time...."
