Notus

Stratos my friend... I think you just got targeted XD.

Uhmn, maybe not thoughts (instant comunication is a powerfull thing in a labirint you know) I would say you could sense feelings and even send them, but that is quite similar to Damian's power. Any other ideas that could work? Also, the Panter waited for you to get separated from the group, so I think the idea of dual portals would be the best way to deal with this. The Wolf is gone now, but the Panter is still flying towards Phantom.

Ellaria "Ellaria has been nothing but kind to me, yet I don't trust her, not one bit. I know I should, but I can't bring myself to. It's another token of my past." Ellaria tensed with Rose's declaration, all joy and hope gone at once. But not for the reason one might think. She felt that the other girl was sorry for not trusting her. And considered the situation, the best would be to ease her worries, as a true friend would. If she could ever be considered a good friend. "Don't worry Rose, you do good in not trusting me." said Ellaria, crestfallen. She turned to face Judge Minos. "I know my sin very well. It's treason. I've had one friend in my life, and when he needed me most I turned my back on him. Now either he is dead or living in a horrible place, while I run free thanks to him. I... " she stopped talking, her skinny body shaking in anger as tears ran down her cheeks. "I am not a person that can be trusted." she managed to finish. "Oh well, this is interesting. You both are." Minos voice sounded, low and serious. "I think we'll need to take your cases carefully. I'll send you back to your friends now, and we will call you again once we reach a conclusion. You're dismissed." And with that, the two ladies vanished from the courtroom back to the library. Minos sighed. "Ah Nine Hells, it's been a long day." he talked to himself. "But there's only one left now. Deceit, you can come back, our job is almost done." In the Library, the She-Wolf let out an annoyed growl. Did he need to call it now that things were starting to get fun? In a second, the giant wolf vanished, along with the magma, the dragon and all traces of the recent fight, leaving that piece of the Library exactly like it was before. Except for the two shaken girls that were left in the middle of the aisle.

Minos sighed. "Well, you told me part of your wish. You know that could be considered an attempt to hide information from the court, right?" before Rose could answer he continued. "I don't think you did that intently though and anyway, it doesn't matter. This only gives me a better notion of who you are." than he turned to Ellaria. "What about you Miss Ellaria?" The girl tried to calm herself before answering, with little effect. Anyway, she thought it would be only worse to let the judge waiting. "I...I entered here by accident your Honor. I just want to get out of here safely." she said. "Nonsense. No one enters this place by accident. You obviously have something you want badly, even if you don't know it yet, else you wouldn't be able to enter before your death." Ellaria stood still for a moment, thinking. Than she remembered what she had thought when Rose told her they were at the Hill. "I... Can I have my vision back?" she asked, still unsure of that possibility. "Yes you can, if you manage to get to the bottom." She was very happy in the moment she heard that. "Oh, I can't believe it! I'd do anything to have it back!" than she realized what she just said, and turned towards Rose. "No, I mean... I... I want the others to have their wishes too but..." "That's enough miss Ellaria, I already know what I wanted." Minos interrupted her. She couldn't see it, but the Judge was smiling. "Now to the next question: What's your greatest sin, the thing you regret most in your life?"

Oh, I thought we were supposed to do that. I'm gonna edit the post right away. Edit: Done. Sorry 'bout that chief !

Judge Minos Minos stood silent for a moment, considering Rose's questions "Well, yes I actually could. But you see, it's so much better to see how people react in critical situations rather than just asking them... You could think of it as a test." "As for who I am, you have already been told. I'm Minos, Judge of Hell, and this is the Last Court, where people come to be judged for their sins and qualities and determine where will be the place of their final... rest. Satisfied?" the Judge said. "Anyway, from now on I'm the one who makes the questions, young lady. As long as we're clear on that, it's gonna be all fine. And to start, a routine question: what do you want from here, and what would you be willing to do to get it?"

Marcus - Frontliners Marcus watched the workers as he followed Orpheaus. Personally he wasn't very fond of this kind of work - in his mind, warriors should do the fighting, and builders could fix their stuff for themselves. No need for one to mess up with another's job. There seemed to be no other way here though, seeing how few people they had and how damaged the walls were, so he decided to swallow his pride for the time being. "So Orpheaus, what can we do to help here?" he asked the Victonari.

The Beasts The Panther narrowed it's eyes , staring at Phantom. The man had his sword in fighting stance, and was standing between the feline and it's prey. No one did that and lived to tell the story. It decided to test the opponent's skill, jumping straight at his direction, quicker than lightning. ===================================== The She-Wolf moved it's head quickly, grabbing Rose's knife in it's jaws and breaking it with it's fangs. However, as it started to walk towards the girl a dragon appeared through one of Enya's rips. The She-Wolf stood still while the mighty beast run to strike it. But it didn't. As the dragon was almost hitting it's target, the Wolf stopped glowing and disappeared into thin air. As the lizard passed right through the place it's prey once was, unable to stop, the She-Wolf appeared once again right behind it. Ignoring the beast, the silvery figure leapt over a terrorized Rose who could only see the black inside of it's wide open jaws. Than darkness swallowed her. Ellaria Ellaria stood up screaming in agony. Than she realized she was whole, and apparently unharmed. Despite the fact that just a moment ago she felt the huge fangs of the She-Wolf tearing through her flesh. Still shaking from the shock, she listened around. At first she could only hear multiple voices whispering, what she recognized as the library's Shadows. Before she could start to worry about it, she heard something falling on the ground right beside her. And than, a voice. "Oh great Miss Rose just arrived too, how handy. I'm sorry about the way you've been sumonned here, but it seems you managed to piss of Deceit, and it is not the most patient wolf around, you know." said Judge Minos. "Now, if you please could recompose yourselves, I'd like to have this trial started"

The Beasts Pain followed as the She-Wolf was hit in the midlle of a jump by Rose's knife. It held in a howl, more surprised than really hurt. That wasn't supposed to happen. It landed and reverted it's course to try and confuse it's prey. Didn't work out however, as a wave of cards came flying towards it. Most of them were avoided, but two cut the wolf, just as the knife did, and this time it let out a furious howl. The She-Wolf would need to bring this to the next level. It stopped on the place it was, glowing a bright silver. Than it started to speed up on the group's direction, straight through the magma as if it was nothing. Before anyone knew what was happenning, It jumped over to Ellaria, knocking Damian out of the way before closing it's fangs around her body. The girl vanished in a silver light. It than turned to Rose, eyes glowing with fury. =============================================== Out of the shadows, the Panther jumped on the way Ethic and Mr. Taylor were running. It let out a roar and stared at them with joy in it's green eyes, knowing the cornered prey wouldn't live long.

(ahmn, Kenny, Minos sent you back to the library like the others XD ) Damian Damian watched in awe to the epic fight going on right before him. "I want to help" he thought. "But how?" Up to now he hadn't discovered any amazing power like the others, except for his innate talent to find people in trouble - something that he didn't think he would need right now. He saw as Rose threw a knife at the place the wolf had been, but the shine of the incandescent magma made it hard to see anything beyond the group, so he didn't know if the weapon had hit the target. Looking around he saw Ellaria, sitting in the floor, completely still. The poor girl should be terrorized, but strangely he didn't... feel it from her. Damian grabbed her hand. "Hey, are you OK? We should go help the others, don't you think?" Ellaria "Sssh!" Ellaria answered to Damian. "I'm trying to do that right now!" Ellaria concentrated again on hearing and feeling. with her palms on the ground she felt the vibrations of everyone walking. She smeled burning wood, molten rock and blood. She heard as Rose's knife flew, whistling through the air. And she heard a soft noise when it penetrated in flesh. She was tired of being just a burden to everyone tht tried to help her. She had few ways of helping people, but she would use her abilities to her best for these guys. "Rose, you hit it!" she said loudly. Then she stopped and listened a little more. "It is going left now!"

Very nice and funny writing Kyra, I'll certainly be reading this. Good luck!

Ouch, I know your feeling. Noel is a huge problem to get past, I had to get and grind Lucario only for him back in ep.9 . I think it would help if you posted which are the most troublesome pokémon for you, and what's your team.

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Terra is way too OP... I'll have to call a tactical retreat now, but... [Terminator mode] I'll be back . [/Terminator mode]

Damian Damian looked around completely confused. When he finally processed the situation he answered Rose, accepting Ethic's hand. "Oh, right" he said. "Mr. Taylor... we... we were on the court room with the judge Enya mentioned. And than suddenly I was back here. If Mr.Taylor did not return yet, I'm sure he'll appear soon. And is that freaking magma?!" he added, dumbfounded. ================================================ The She-Wolf ignored Rose's spell, as it was way too weak to affect it. The spell caster probably hadn't reached her full potential, or was just plain weak. Now, when the field of magma came in it's direction, the beast was forced to a halt. Growling angry, it started to speed up circling the molten mass, trying to find a breach. The Panther was still nowhere to be found.

He, you don't know what happens when you knock down this specific EVA do you? Well, things tend to get nasty. *EVA01 gets up* *Things get nasty* *Kenny's forces get crushed in a rather unpleasant way* You'll need more than that to get past this thing...

Marcus - Frontliners "Sorry Lads, a lot is going on here, we need to shore up the walls from the damage from last night and I am trying to get practice drills running. Mind coming with me down to the damaged areas? Afterwards we can get you lads sparring with a few of the lads to get them practiced up." "Sure" Marcus answered to Orpheaus. "Though I don't know if I'll be of much help. I have no experience with building things at all."

In Dome's invasion...

Damian Damian heard to the old man's declaration. He was a bit apprehensive about the bold way his companion talked to the judge, and hoped Minos woudn't get mad at him. The judge stared intensely at Taylor for a second, and than a smile apeared on his face."You speak very well mister, I give you that. That was the most clear minded statement I heard so far. I'll take it as it is." Than he turned for Damian. "Your turn now, boy." Damian stood still for a moment, thinking. "My greatest strenght... That I don't know your Honor. My flaws are easier to see though. I have always felt weak too weak, and for more I try to do things, I seem to always be underpowered. That's why I'm here after all. To fix my flaws." he said. Minos stared at him for a minute, than at mister Taylor. Finally he spoke to both. "Very well, I think that's enough to see what kind of people you are. The last court will study your case and I'll call you again when time comes. Go back to your friends, I think they'll apreciate some help right now." As the judge said this, Damian felt himself being warped back to the library, and the next he knew he was falling on the ground after bumping on Rose.

Damian "Yes, I think I can understand that" Minos said with a smile. "Than to the next question to you both: what do you consider to be your greatest strenghts and your worse flaws?"

Damian Damian heard Mr.Taylor speak and than decided he'd better do the same. "I want to become stronger. I heard about the Hill and thought that I could do it if II reached the bottom. I... I want to be able to protect people." he said to Minos. "And there it is, the kind of answer I want." the judge said, pointing to Damian. "I understand that when you first entered here, Mr. Taylor, you were skeptical about the rumours surrounding this place. I can say one thing though: they are all true. What I want to know is, now that you know what the Hill is capable of, did you think of what you'd want from here if you manage to reach the bottom?"

Oh,no I don't watch Scrubs so it was really in the server.

Aahn, I was supposed to be at the Hill right? Well whatever. *EVA01 kick's Rose* Back again!

Damian Damian saw Minos smile at Mr.Taylor. "It would be a pleasure good sir, but I'm afraid I cannot. Orders from below. Anyway, you should not be worried about leaving. You'd just end up here again eventually." "Now, to start this trial, I'd like to ask you both what are you doing here and what you wanted from this place."

The She-Wolf leapt through the fire, landing unscathed on the other side. It's companion seemed to be frozen not moving a muscle to give chase to their prey. Angry, the Wolf let go a short growl in the creature's face, which seemed to free it from the spell. They stood there for a moment planning what to do next, and than the dark figure went away, letting the Wolf pursue the small group.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the name Slagathor somewhere... Oh, my crappy memory! Anywailmers, welcome to hell hope you have a nice time here!
