"Hey, Yeligar, Zeke and I ain't going either. If we go back, we'll most likely exist on a different dimensional plane and be unable to help. I know it sounds weird but just trust us on this one, we can't help you here."
Donovan was being factual in his explanation, as he and Zeke were still in The Game and would thus only exist on the UG of wherever it was that they traveled to on Earth. If these people didn't want to believe his explanation then they could go screw themselves; this was the truth and Donovan wasn't going to humor them by going through just cause they didn't believe him.

"O-our magic is reduced...?"
Jasmine looked almost afraid at hearing this, knowing that her only real hope for defending herself and her friends was her magic and the Twilight gods' magic as well. With it cut, how would she be able to do anything?
She was still a master of the natural healing arts, so as long as Andy didn't do something incredibly stupid on Earth, she wouldn't have to worry about draining whatever magic she did have.
She stared at the man who just recently spoke out to Yeligar. How could one exist on a different dimensional plane? What did he mean? Was this common for Earth?
Jasmine, despite being still very upset over the drama in her family, started getting slowly back into her old self, listening carefully and wanting to know and figure out everything she could about...well, anything.
Like Earth. What was it like? What would it be like?
Why couldn't this man go to Earth?
She stared at him warily, trying to take in his actions and words and judge, much like she would anyone else, him as a person. He obviously was one of the chosen heroes from Earth which meant he had a good heart, so she knew at least that much.

"Oh yea, he said that would be a problem." Yeligar said " I understand. You two, can you guard Profeta while we are out? And yes Jasmine, it will be reduced. How much I do not know."

Mark: I'm in, it's my duty to protect both worlds... *Mark gave a nod to Yeligar.* My blade is yours.
So my light magic will be reduce... what about that form? No, that form should remain at it's full power... good, because I gotta use it to fight Trucido.

Angelus: I'm going... I have a huge dose of payback to give to Trucido.

"This is my home we're talking about, I'm not gonna let the Sumata wreck it however they please. Power or no power, I'm going." Andy pumped his fist.

Kouichi looked at Yeligar.
"I'm going. Not many of you know this, but... Kouji and I have done this sort of thing before. It's our duty to protect Earth and whatever other wordls exist... Crepusculum beign one of them. We swore it a long time ago... I think I can speak for both of us - we're in."
Kouji nodded. "Kouichi's right. This planet's done so much for us... it's time to do something for it in return."
He turned to Zeke and DOnovan. "Hey... I have no clue what you guys are talking about, but I believe you. You guys... you may've been annoying sometimes, and, Don, you can be a real pain in the butt, but... I'm gonna miss you both. Fight the good fight here, okay?"
He was willing to let go of his antagonism toward the older man, and he held out a hand.
"Friends?"

After a while, Yeligar called out from outside of the cave. "Everyone that is going, we are leaving now!" He turned and walked towards the portal where most of them remember walking through.

*Mark nodded walking up to Yeligar.*
Mark: See you on the other side!
*Mark then jumped into the portal.*

Angelus: Here I come, Trucido... *He jumped in after Mark.*

Yeligar was unsure of how much their magic was to be reduced. That would mean Jasmine might have to do a test when they made it to Earth, but then would it be reduced enough then that she'd use up her whole reserve of magic?
She quickly opened up her bag and did a quick check of her ingredients, tools, and potions inside. Everything seemed quite full, so at least she could still do an adequate healing job whether she had much magic or not. It might mean that she'd have to eliminate using the Gods' magic and use only her own for simple patching-up of the skin on wounds.
As the portal opened up, Jasmine's stomach seemed to leap into her stomach. She stared on at it, eyes slightly widened. She wanted to go, she had to, she wanted to be there to help Andy and the others, and she was more than determined to be there to do her duty as a sage.
But man oh man was she ever afraid to get near that portal. She shifted uncomfortably and watched as Mark and Angelus leaped through it.
'Come on, this is to help so many people. We're doing a great thing like this, Jasmine, you can do this...'
She hesitated yet, her thoughts still trying to coax her to follow the others.

Andy watched Jasmine hesitate and placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Hey, don't look back okay or you'll hesitate. Run forward and on, I'll be right next to you okay?"

Jasmine couldn't hide the smile that appeared at the warmth of Andy's hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him and quietly responded, "Alright. I'll do my best, and Andy...someday I really hope I'll be as brave as you."
Listening to Andy, she looked back at the portal and wrapped her hands tightly around the strap of her bag. Just run at it, don't look back...
'And I believe in him...so he'll be right here with me the whole time...there's no need to be afraid, Jasmine...'
Jasmine took a deep breath then before she took one step forward. Something in the back of her head practically screamed, "GO!" and with what it felt like a push by an invisible hand, Jasmine ran toward and through the portal and didn't stop.

Donovan looked at Kouji through his sunglasses and scoffed mentally at his half assed attempt at "bearing the olive branch."
"I ain't friends with you, kid, not now and i doubt at any future point and time. Ya see, I don't make friends. You and I are acquaintances at best, and don't expect anything more. Hell, the only reason I traveled with you was cause you knew more than I did and made for a decent guide to this place. We're allies and nothing more, got it? And as for protecting Profeta and "fighting the good fight," Zeke and I have more important things to do than play bodyguard or fisticuffs."
Donovan slapped Kouji's hand as if giving a high-five and began walking past him and away from the group of heroes. As he passed Kouji, he paused for a second, thinking of the times when he had read Kouji's mind and saw the thoughts relating to him and his brother. Donovan felt a slight connection with him at that moment and hadn't been able to shake it since.
Looking down at Kouji throught the corner of his sunglasses, Donovan surreptitiously whispered, "Prove to me you're better than most and protect your brother. Show me that, and maybe I can trust you." With that said, Donovan continued to walk away, giving no sighs that he had said anything else to Kouji past his verbose denial of friendship.

Andy ran alongside her, as they both ran through the portal he grabbed her hand to keep her close as, with an upheaving feeling, they travelled into Earth.
