The Heroes return to Crepusculum

[Profeta]

Profeta was standing in front of the portal that she had made for the heroes that were on the Earth mission. She smiled as the heroes walked past her.
"Hello, how is everyone?" She asked with a pleasing tone.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

Yeligar limped though the portal, and he sat on a rock. "Well, the Sumatas XIII got all of the relics, but other than that, it was a fun trip." He said as he looked at the Cigar case. "Beside the fact that the Sumatas had to attack my cigars."

[Kouichi - Yami No Kuro Raion]

Kouichi walked through the portal, his brother behind him. He'd lost the hat somewhere in the portal - probably stuffed into the pack he now carried. His tail twitched behind him.

"Nice to be back on another world," he mentioned.

"Never thought you'd ever say that, huh?" Kouji asked, looking around.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar walked though the portal, his muscle felt stronger from the moonlight. "So, Tidus, how did you like Earth?" he asked Tidus.

[Miri, EarthGuard]

A possibly unexpected figure stepped through the portal into the world of Crepusculum - Miri had agreed to come back with the Heroes, taking the fight to this world. She figured that only one invasion of massive scale would be happening at a time, and that Earth could deal without her for a while.

And then, there was the matter of Alex...

He seemed so confused, she thought, arms crossed in front of her as she watched the Heroes interact. She knew that even now, he couldn't remember most of what had happened; couldn't remember the hatred that had brought him to Mara. She wondered if he remembered the moment of betrayal, but she couldn't think about that now - there were more important things to do.

Like figure otu what the situation here was, and if the heroes had a plan for dealing with it.

And... who was that beautiful woman speaking to them? She blazed with magic power, even more than the heroes, and Miri could feel the magic woven through the very air.

I can use my full strength here...

No... we can use our full strength,[/b][/i] said something within her, and she smiled.

Yes... we can use our full strength, she thought back, and smiled.

[lana]

Lana had followed everyone back through the portal, the events on Earth an odd blur of memories in her head, now. She looked around at all of the heroes...and knew she couldn't stay here. Couldn't go back to Nerezza, either. Not now, anyway...

Lana stepped around the large group of the heroes, keeping her distance from them--even Kouichi, who was busy with his brother. Maybe that was it, Kouji's presence seemed to make Lana uneasy. Really, she shouldn't have cared either way if he was around being a moody little jerk, but somehow recently Lana kept getting his odd, illogical feeling that whenever she stood close to Kouichi when Kouji was around, she had an odd fear that he'd somehow would be able to just...KNOW what was going on between them.

Which was stupid, 'cause she doubted he was a mind-reader. But still...

She rotated her neck and stretched. She really wanted to hit something right now.

[Profeta]

"Hello, Miri, the Earth Guard. And Hello Captain Lana Princel of Nerezza." She said to the two women that had walked though the portal. She bowed to them. "How are you two doing today?"

[Michael Bayloh]

A different portal opened and Michael stepped through, he was able to into this world by different means than of the prophet. If the prophet was as all knowing as she was, she would know who he was and who sent him. But that's not what surprised him, what surprised him was that Miri was here. Normally he'd be happy, but after he saw her dance with the -formerly- dead Alex.

He almost wanted nothing to do with her.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*Suddenly the portal opened up letting a wave of power burst out as the limiters let off, a roar of anger as Mark lands on the ground. He looked up at the heroes, his cat like eyes scanning the crowed as his seven wings stretched out. Once seeing Trucido wasn't there he slammed his foot into the ground causing a slight shake, looking at Profeta he ran over grabbing her arm, not tightly, just enough to get her attention.*

Mark: Tell me! Where is Trucido!? *He asked his anger sparking at the word. Profeta had seen this form and he wasn't sure if he sparked fear in her, Trucido and the heroes have not yet.*

[lana]

"I'm not the captain. Ludro Gamblington is the only captain to Nerezza now," Lana mumbled before she looked at Profeta and raised an eyebrow, "...I've been better, though. Who the hell are you and what do you want?"

She was caught short then when Mark rushed by, grabbing at Profeta. Lana had seen a look like that before...

In a hungry animal's eyes, that was.

"Hold your horses," Lana spoke out to him, "patience makes one victorious, afterall."

She said this of course, but Lana wasn't always one to follow her own example...it was hard.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*He turned his head and looked at her, he growled deeply showing his fanged teeth to her before saying.*

Mark: Stay out of this... *he said then looked back at Profeta waiting her answer.*

[lana]

Lana was unperturbed by the fangs...though they were creepy.

"Freak," she muttered and stayed where she was, folding her arms.

[Profeta]

"Mark..." Profeta said with some pain behind her voice. "You are hurting me."

[glitters]

Jasmine had remained quiet as everyone gathered and started discussing their next plan of action once they got through the portal. She looked around, keeping close to Andy as usual and smiled as she saw Profeta not very far off. Lana and Mark were there too, though neither of them looked too pleased.

Jasmine left for a moment to approach Lana, looking up shyly at the tall woman.

"M-Miss Lana?" she spoke up, staring at the redhead.

[Miri, EarthGuard]

Miri saw Michael standing there, saw the look in his eyes...

...and wanted to hurt herself. How had he seen that dance with Alex? How could he know what she knew about him?

How could he know that she hadn't betrayed him?

She walked over to him, hesitantly.

"Michael..."
