Kingdom Of The Sea

[Aureus]

Needless to say, Aureus was a bit taken aback when Chi shouted his name and hugged him. It wasn't like her at all to act like that. She was normally reserved and quiet, not bubbly and loud. It wasn't bad though, not at all. To tell the truth it was actually kind of nice. "Haha, it's nice to see you too, Chi." He said before the girl jumped back and acted fidgety. I wonder if she's feeling alright. He wondered before hearing her speak up. Unfortunately her response only brought more questions to mind. Why would they call her? What's Asiv up to...

He would have answered her question, if Travis hadn't beaten him to it. "Uhh...yea, that's basically it." He said casually before looking around. There were now five students present, not counting himself. They were almost ready to go, and now was the time for him to organize them all if they let him. From the get go he expected problems from the idiot always listening to his mp3 player, but prayed to the giant noddle monster that he would restrain himself for once. Stepping back a few steps, his raised his voice so everyone would be able to hear. The Varsity Captain had put a lot of thought into who would do best where.

"Alright, now that you're all here we need to throw together a plan. No doubt those wanna-be gods know we're coming. So prepare to meet resistance, but remember the main goal of this operation is to rescue Mitsuki, not win some small war. It's obvious each of us have different strengths, and to be successful we'll need to utilize them.

We'll split into two teams. Team one will lead the offense, their main goal being to occupy as many gods as possible. This team will consist of Travis, Atticus, and myself. Team two will focus on locating the School Captain and getting her out. Aris, Saint, and Chi, that's you. Once you have Mitsuki, call us and we all get out as fast as possible," Aureus said before throwing a small walkie talkie to Saint. "Now, I hope no one thinks I'm jumping into the leader role because I think I'm better than anyone else. The truth is we need to be organized, and if we're not everyone's in danger. So, are there any objections?"

[chihiro]

Chi's attention kind of turned in two directions as Travis answered the questioned she asked Aureus, who agreed. Alright, so they were on a rescue mission, sounded alright enough. It was a good thing she was to be part of the retrieval instead of the offense, she didn't know how valuable of a fighter she would be with her cast still on her arm. Ugh, stupid thing. She picked at it in frusteration as she stepped into the van, picking an available seat next to her gang leader and buckling up. Hurrah for safety.



((ooc: Meh, short and pointless, but now she's in the van. hurrah.))

[Deleted]

Saint caught the small walkie-talkie in his free hand. Seemed simple enough and since there wasn’t really any point in arguing, the student body president nodded. It would seem given their interaction, that Aureus and Chi were involved… and he was going to let her attack the gods in a cast? Okay… Saint wasn’t even going to try to understand that one, but that would have to be why she was assigned to the “search and rescue” party. Perhaps the pillar should have been relieved that it was not her leg in a cast and just her arm, at least she could run if need be and wouldn’t slow them down. But since everyone was in the van, at least that seemed to be coming, Saint turned to glance at the driver.

“We might as well get going… no need to delay the inevitable any longer.”

((OoC; Hey! Leon! Drive Bitch! XP))

[Mr. Kaar]

"Right. . ."

Leon would take his feet off the dash and get into position to drive. His hands made the wheel scream a bit as he held tightly. A smile brushing over his face. He was ready to go, and well his driving wasn't the. . . Most legal type of driving, well normally, but his orders where to get there and be unnoticable. So he started off, going just 10 miles over the speed limit instead of his usual 25. He still weeved and turned sharp through traffic, past red lights, didn't matter to him.

Finally reaching the destination he would stop exactly a block away where there was a back ally. This would be the point in where he would drop off the rescue team, he would take the attack team to the front door. After the recovery team got out, Leon would go and pull all the way up to the grass and aim the door of the van at the door to the cafe.

[chihiro]

Chocolate eyes widened in a fearful manner, and she gripped onto her seat as the spikey haired senior drove them to their destination. Jeebus, where did this guy learn to drive?! It seemed like everything just flashed by in a crazy blur, though she couldn't very likely turn her head to watch the scenery, she was too busy trying to calm her racing heart.

Upon reaching the destination of the recovery team, she got out with Saint and Aris, her knees wobbling as she stepped from the abruptly halted vehicle. She would be fine in a minute, once her head stopped sloshing around inside her skull. Seriously, did he even have a license?! She looked back at the rest of the recovery team that consisted of Aris and Saint. Well it was good that she knew them, that would make things easier, and they were going to be tough enough as it was. Ah, que sera sera, I suppose.

[Aris Love]

OOC: Again with the Spanish! xD

Aris felt the car suddenly stop and his head launched forward stopping right in front of the seat. He sighed and dropped his head onto the back of the seat in front of him. He would never drive with Leon again. The recovery was going to need more recovery than anyone else.

He looked around and noticed Saint, a man who he had met previously and who happened to have good taste in music. He also noticed Chi. His memory was completely blurred, but her face was vivid. Mostly just her big brown eyes that looked so innocent. But the beach was blurred, the background of it, the whole scenario.

He sighed and let go of the thought. He knew them both and he knew that Mitsuki was somewhere in that building, but there was one thing he did not know. "What exactly do we do?" He asked scratching his head.

[John]

((OoC: I gave permission to myself since there are few in the quest.))

John had been doing a stake out for a while in the alley way where the people had been dropped off, since he looked like a bum, he figured they would pay no attention to a kid wiht silver hair, red eyes, and tan skin. Of course he could be wrong, but he decided to poke his head up anyways and get their attention. From out of the bushes in the mercy area popped his silver hair as he extended his head the rest of the way a simple questioned word came from the boys face as he looked around. He had stacked out and saw where they moved, safe ways to get in, and how many people where inside.

"Hello?"

He raised an eye brow as well as look at them. Three people as it where, he was alittle puzzled as to why they where there. But he really wanted to know who the hell was driving that van and what the people meant by "What exactly do we do?" He wanted to know what exactly they where to do too. He was puzzled to this, but wouldn't ask directly.

[Deleted]

Saint stepped out of the van with the others, while adjusting his headband away from his eyes. He had shifted it down over them after catching the senior’s smile when they set off. It seemed safer to his well-being to be oblivious to whatever happened while the van flew around the city with a teenager driving. The dropped his butt of his cigarette and rubbed it into the alleyway surface with his foot before taking a few steps toward their destination. A back way in? It seemed slightly odd that the gods would be unknowing of such a thing… paranoia… rising! Could they really not know? Maybe they did… but would they really leave it unguarded? Need… to… stop… thinking… so… much. Luckily there was a question from Aris.

“We find a way in and wait for the others to cause a ruckus, then sneak in, get Mitsuki, and get out… I guess that may prove to be a oversimplified version of what we will do but… it is what it is.”

Next a bum, of sorts, came out of the bushes. Guard? Most likely not but it would have helped if Saint hadn’t basically reiterated the plan. Déjà vu. Saint had a vague sense of familiarity with this bum, but from where? The thief! A small smile formed on his pillar’s lips, talk about odd coincidences. He had planned to ask this guy why he had stolen the half-eaten fried dough the next time they met, but somehow, that did not seem like an appropriate thing to ask of a bum. Add to that the fact that Saint and the others had something to do right now… best save the question for later. He shrugged slightly before setting off up the alley way.

“Let’s get going… the quicker we get the captain, the less chance we have of getting caught in some sort of brawl.”

[Atticus Wagner]

Ten miles per hour over the speed limit? That meant fourty five. Fifteen more than Atticus could calmly deal with. It was only a decent grip, or rigor mortis from being surprised half to death, that kept him on. Surprised was more apt then scared, since Atticus became estatic over the speed. Hanging onto the back end of a van on his skateboard as it went through traffic was fun enough, but that that speed, it was an adrenaline rush at it's peak. The wind chill kind of sucked though.

And when the van stopped at the destination, a large thud was heard from the van's read as Atticus smacked into the rear end. It took him clean off his board. Oddly enough, he got up unharmed. He was more concerned about his skateboard, picking it up and checking for damage. Not the scratch kind of damage, becasue the board was covered in them already but the real kind of damage.

"Chi, Aris! Come with me, we'll scope out the area and get to the back door area. We'll need about fifteen minutes head start to get to the right area. Offense, make sure you make some noise when you take them on, so we know you've started. Some sort of crashing or exploding sound will be our que to being the rescue. You have your assignments! move out, soldiers!" Soldiers? Since when did he use that kind of language. Maybe that collision with the van did some mental damage...

[John]

"I wouldn't go directly to the door just yet. . . . You see, there is one little dude hangin out at the door. Thats about all I know. Maybe he will still be there or not, but it seems you guys are more organized than me, mind if I tag along?"

He had heard the mention of the school captain. yeah he felt like doing something to help, why? Because if there was no school captain, then who would he beat up at school to bring down the system later? Yeah he had his own agenda's, but it was a clean enough offer to tag along and help. the hobo looking kid walked out to the open starring at the group, one seemed to have had an interesting ride and a small intimate moment with the back of it, when it stopped. All the red eyed boy could think was, ow.

Weither they accepted his help or not he would follow, cause that little dude he was talkign about earlier? Was pretty fast, like, damn fast. He was able to see his movements slightly, and got used to his movements. But that still didn't help much agaisnt his speed, he did know how to fight fast people, but for the sake of all things sacred this guy had like rockets or something on his shoes.

[Hades]

It seemed the captive girl was not in the mood to listen to orders, which would most likely not make the king of the sea very happy, as most the other gods have left, for a mission. Leaving Poseidon, Dionysus and himself here to guard this girl. Why Dionysus and Posieden brought her here was beyond him. this whole gang was deluded. None of them understood exactly what was going on in the real world. He just stayed to himself as he decided to go the the back door and lean agaisnt it. It wasn't like this girl could make a run for it anyways, three gods where in the room and Hermes was freaking fast. He knew it too, which made him cocky in that sense.

As Dionysus would answer Poseidons question, he was almost certain Poseidon would explode on the young girl for being so insolent. He decided to guard the back door all the time, this way he could stay out of everyone elses way and their wierd head problems. His armor he wore was a light blue, very light but firm, his shoes a girft from Hepheastus, he wanted revenge for his death and Apollo's, for he had a secret crush on Apollo's sister Artemis. Once he was gone she tore her self up inside, which made him feel bad. Thats what he wanted revenge for him for. Hepheastus was his friend even though he was pretty messed up in the head he stood up for him when no one else would.

[Victor]

"Why you need only ask."

Dionysus would leave the room and head off intot he main part of the old broken down Cafe'. Behind the counter and into the kitchen his travels did go, where the War Gods usually would be talking some wierd strategy talk. Talking about battle, oh so annoying, why can't they just drink and get along? Anyways in the very back og the kitchen Dionysus brought out his most preciouse stash of brew. thats right he wasn't the god of wine for nothing, he made his own. He would bring back four glasses with him, one for everyone.

"Here we are, a nice grape brew to quinch the thirst of even Tantalus."

He was sure Poseidon would calm if he only but took a single drink. He would walk over and hand one to Hermes and then to the young Princess. He did actually have a small. . . Affection for this one. She was beautiful, but hid behind a mask. He did like her more than he put on, but to what extent? the past shows how far a god is willing to go for love, but was htis feeling love for him? did he love someone a human, yet someone who would not return it? How far would he go for someone like that? It was yet to be seen, but you never know.

[Aureus]

As expected, Leon drove like a fucking madman, but Aureus was prepared for it this time and wasn't as phased as he had been the first time. So, while they drew closer and closer to the cafe, the Pillar's mind wandered off to other things. I hope she'll be alright with that broken arm. I was gonna assign myself to the rescue team, but I'd be better suited to play assault. Stop worrying so much, Saint's a good guy, and not too shabby a fighter from what I hear. She'll be fine. Alright.

Seemingly within no time the van had pulled to a stop and everyone piled out. There was an odd thump against the back, and when he got out Aureus saw that it was just Atticus. He and Saint went back and forth for a little, and a kid sitting by the door spoke up outta nowhere. Clearing his throat, Aureus decided to end all the bickering.

"Atticus, your team will have it's time, and the walkie-talky I gave Saint will be enough to signal you," He said to the blond. Turning to the...bumish looking boy the Pillar considered things for a moment. "Why should we trust you? I'm guessing you'll tag along no matter what I say, so fine. You'll be with Saint's group," He said before nodding towards his fellow Pillar. "Atticus, if this kid acts up, don't hesitate to bring him down," The dark haired boy added. "When you're in position, gimme a call, Saint. Alright, everyone knows what they have to do. Go!"

[Mitsuki Park]

Voices... Footsteps fading... Voices... Mitsuki had her eyes closed for the time being, and until she felt a presence near her did she then open her eyes. She found Dionysus near her, handing her some sort of liquid, though, Mitsuki was not interested. She would have been, but could she really trust them? No - not really. In fact, no one in the right mind should trust their kidnapper. Or in this case - plural - kidnappers. Dionysus was standing in front of her, and when she shifted her gaze for a brief moment, Hermes stood near the back doorway, and if her information was correct from the Mythology unit back in the eighth grade, Hermes was known as the god of speed, messenger and thieves. And if he was the god of speed, Mitsuki wasn't exactly sure if she could out run him, so that wouldn't necessarily work.

Her eyes turned back to the Greek god of wine, although she made sure she wasn't staring directly at him. She knew well of his ability of his excellent charisma, and she knew better then to even glance at him, but she did anyway. The temptation was strong - she had to relieve herself in some way, did she not? She stared at the drink - or his hand - and gently nodded her head. She stopped nodding, as if pausing to talk, or reconsider the offer, and gave a very, very quiet sigh.

"Thank you for the offer, but I don't drink."

Her words were quiet, and she was not trying to be polite. She was only telling the truth. It was true, the captain didn't drink, nor did she ever plan on drinking until she was of legal age. Besides - those drinks smelled horrible, and not to mention - Mitsuki didn't want to go through the hangover after you pass out and wake up. Besides - why get drunk and be an idiot if you can just read a book and drink milk?

...Then her thoughts went over what had happened in the last couple of days. The main question that remained in her head was: Why her? Certainly these ... so called Greek gods wouldn't have known that she was school captain. In fact, they probably didn't even know of the new system going about! For all she knew, they probably thought a school captain was for some kind of extracurricular activity - if they even know what the heck that is.

"...Why was I kidnapped?"

Of course, the young girl just had to ask. Wouldn't you be curious? I mean, it's not like they kidnapped her so they could put up a ransom note asking for $50,028,742 for a girl. They were so called "gods" for goodness sake. A frigging senior at 259 could go rob a bank and leave unharmed. A sophomore even, and possibly a freshman - like Mitsuki! So it obviously wasn't about money - but could it possibly be because Mr. Asiv didn't want to go to a stupid invitation? If so, then Mitsuki couldn't help but think how much of a low tolerance this 'Zeus' person has.

[Victor]

Dionysus seemed alittle disapointed she wouldn't try his wine. It seemed she didn't drink though, he was unsure of what to do after that, so he handed a drink to Hermes, who was still looking very, guard like, which was funny for his usual job. But dionysus decided to sit down next to her and think for only a moment, until of course she asked why she had been kidnapped. Well now this was an interesting thing. She wanted to know why, he looked to Poseidon, who would undoubtedly object to him divulging the reason, but he didn't much care for what he thought. He turned and looked at her, using none of that charm from before, and began to explain.

"Come now princess. The way your servents where protecting you, trying to keep you safe, it was far too obviouse you are the princess of the kingdom around that castle. We took you away to make Asiv come after you."

It was simple he then shruged and repositioned the armor on his arm. It seemed more plastic than anything, but still armor. His mind would trail for a moment as he looked away to Poseidon, who seemed very angry at him for saying these things. Then to Hermes who didn't seem to care. He had a new question for her since she didn't drink alcoholic things it seemed.

"Would you like some water instead? Since you do not want any of my fine wine."
