Inside the house of Demise, Demise has treated his guests like royalty for three days. All the while OBSCURA forces have had the house of Demise surrounded. Meanwhile Demise has made a great show taunting the various OBSCURA personel, MoA, included.

THis day is no different as Demise hands a newspaper to Eclipse, a newspaper that Demise himself grabbed from the Mailbox. On the front page is another disturbing headline. Bone, Edge, and Malistyrax Captured! Followed by pictures of the three of them being thrown into the special cells all the while looking like they had experienced a large explosion.
[hr]
Ecplise tosses the paper away, having slumped into a bit of depression.

((I'm gonna go with the idea that Nitrox is still at Demise's place with them.))

Alexis has ignored Eclipse's depression, using her time like crazy to find a way to rescue their captured teammates. Most of her time was spent on the computer, trying to look up info on the new Icebox. Bone and I managed to have Malistyrax on our side before we even got in. Eclipse should work to substitute for his help. The harder person to replace is Semtex. Maybe Nitrox can help, but will the doors be able to be blown open like that?

Getting up from the laptop she was borrowing from Demise, Alexis walked out of her temporary room. "Nitrox! I need to ask you for a favor!" She called out.

Walking into the room where Eclipse was, Alexis noted the paper on the floor and Eclipse's expression. "So you've seen it too... I saw it on the internet a moment ago. Relax; at least we know they are still alive."

a shadow vortex opens behind alexis. revan apears out of it, he wraps his arm around alexis and covers her mouth and drags her into the vortex.

[hr]

its dark in the vortex, void of everything, exept for the endless amount of beasts that revan has summoned before. you can see everything but there is no light source. alexis and revan are floating among the nothing ness

"you can scream, you can cry, or you can fight back. in the end its all useless. this is my universe, i control all laws and physics. if you tell me what i want you're free to go, without a scratch. that i promis you. so tell me" he removes his hand from over her mouth "where is your friend!?! where is zurubane!?!"

((Oh good grief... how many people have to kidnap/teleport/etc. Alexis?))

Alexis frowned. "Couldn't you have just called or something?!? Yeesh..." She brushed herself off in an attempt to look blasé about the whole thing, then put one hand on her hip. "Zurubane... First off, he's not my friend. I hate his guts, despite popular opinion, it seems. After all, he killed my parents and made my life a living nightmare.

"As for the second bit, he could be anywhere. My connection with him is not what it once was. I admit, I should have killed him when I had the chance, but I didn't because I didn't have the energy to keep fighting. Just because I kept my immortality, though, doesn't mean that it's the same bond as before. There is no longer a need for him to track me so closely, nor for us to contact each other so easily."

She sighed, already getting the feeling of where the conversation was going. "I suppose it is possible to still do such a thing, but most likely not without being noticed, and being in your little universe here might put a damper on the connection. Even then, though, a location would be hard to get."

"if i let you go, can you take me to him?" revan asks, materializing a knife by her thorught

((Now I remember why I like playing Zurubane))

"Where is the fun in that?" Zurubane's disembodied voice asks. A massive fist made of shadows forms, and shoves both Revan and Alexis into a portal of Zurubane's own creation. The both of them crash into the floor of Demise's embassy. Within moments Revan is surrounded by animated suits of Demise's armor.
It only takes a moment for anyone paying attention to notice that all the shadows in the room vanish, accompanied by Zurubane's phantom laughter.

"Take you to him? That'd be near impossible." Alexis looked down at the knife. "Look, you don't have to threaten me. You seem to want the demon dead, and that's fine by me, even if my immortality goes out the window. I'm just telling you the facts, though. If I tried to find Zurubane, then I doubt he'd show himself."

Alexis closed her eyes. "The best plan would be for me to tell him that I wanted to finish our battle. He couldn't refuse something like that; I humiliated him by making him beg for his life like I did. He wants me gone, as far as I can tell. However, I can't call him out like that yet. I have friends in the Icebox right now that need my help."

An idea ran through Alexis's mind, too tempting to resist. "How about this as an idea? You help me get the imprisoned Shadow Alliance members free, and I will find Zurubane for you."

"common out you coward" revan sneers throwing alexis to the side. the knife in his hand grows into a sword. a mass of shadow golems surrounds revan standing between him and the suits of armor.

((That post of yours was confusing, revan. Can you go more into detail in your next one?))

"Wait... wha?" Alexis looks around in confusion. "Okay, now things are getting weird."

(you know how elephants will surround their young when being threatened by a predator, basically the golems are in the same formation)

(Okay... and what about the suits of armor?))

"Demoniac get this trash out of my Embassy," Demise orders. Immediatly the armors each armed with machine guns and swords, starts attacking Revan's golems. Meanwhile Demoniac assuming his demon form, blasts two golems apart with fire, and strikes down a third with his broadsword.
[hr]
"You may want to keep your head down." Demise says as a wild bullet richocets off his armor.

()

revan stands there not taking any offense wile the golems defend themselves. "cease the attack. i need assistance, and according to the pixie you do too." he pauses "i need zurubane, in return i will assist you in freeing your allies"

((Ooohhhh... I missed Draco's post... -__- that explains a lot. he must have posted while I was typing. *bangs head against wall*))

Alexis sighed. "I can't ever have a normal day for some reason."

((Got to keep this interesting))

"You dare insult Demise in his own house!" Demise says angrily. "While the child has had her issues with Zurubane, I will not have you insult my ally as such. Nor will Demoniac stand for it either, now all of you will leave the house of Demise, and are banned from returning while you keep company with this trash!" Revan, Alexis, and those around them don't really move. It is more like the world slides out from around them, and the lot of them land in the middle of the OBSCURA forces surrounding Demise's Embassy.
[hr]
Man of Action is not one to second guess a gift. "If any of you move, we will fire!" He says through a megaphone while Amp, Charge, Super Texan, Fuse, and the elusive Predator take positions around the group.
[hr]
Eclipse in the sunlight has little if any powers, so she puts her hands on her head, and is quickly arrested. However as she is hauled away she grins a twisted smile, baring her fangs.
[hr]
A note falls out of the sky and lands on Revan's face. It reads :

Loser,

Zurubane
