:Eva slowly regains consciousness. Her head is pounding, but she begins to come to her senses. The scent of cinnamon overwhelms her senses first. She finally hears the crackle of fire and feels the warmth of it. Eva feels an odd sense of security until her vision comes around. She is bound and hanging upside down in a chamber, only lit by the fire pits in each corner of the room. She struggles with what strength she can muster, but nothing. Finally Airlia comes into her view. Her friend hangs beside her, bleeding profusely from her face. She had obviously been beaten severely:
"Well, well well...."
:The voices echoes in the chamber as hooded individuals begin to file through and stand along the walls of the chamber. A single figure comes from behind them and positions himself in front of them:
"What exactly did you two really think you would accomplish?"

::Eva still a bit groggy from the earlier hit tried to get her vision focused on the figure in front of her::
"A lot more than you would ever imagine..."
::Eva sneered slightly::
"I bet you feel pretty good about yourself right now beating on females...what you do knock her out and beat her when she couldn't defend herself? Tch. You coward."
::Eva's eye's flashed defiantly but she couldn't escape with the strength that she has right now currently::

:The man approaches the two of them quickly and slugs Airlia in the face. The limp body just dangles and bleeds more:
"Wake up you piece of trash."
:He pulls back his hood and glares at Eva:
"I'm sure Airlia already warned you of us. I am the High Priest of the Sect."
:He grins:
"...and for your actions....death."

::Eva scoffed slightly not in one bit impressed::
"Yes I've heard of you from her. And I guranteed I could kick your but from here to Terra and back as soon as I get myself out of here."
::She glared at him fiercely, her firey spirit not dieing down one bit despite the situation she's in::
Damnit I'm still groggy and I can't use my strength at the moment...come on Airlia I seriously hope your just playing possum right now or these guys are going to be really in for it...
::She then looked at the priest in front of her right now::
"Why even bother tying us up if you wanted us to die so badly huh? Or is it that you get some kind of sick pleasure tormenting people..."

:The priest grins:
Priest: "Yes...something like that."
Airlia: "...then before you do why don't you enlighten us as to why we're being killed."
:The bloodied and beaten body hangs from the chains and a thread of life. Airlia coughs and spits out blood:
Airlia: "You at least owe us that much."
:The priest looks back at the others briefly and nods to them:
Priest: "Very well.."
Airlia: "Why? Just why? Is what I hear true?"
:She struggles with her words and closes her eyes as the blood continues to stream down her face:
Airlia: "Is it true that the Sect was resonsible for the death of Edge while trying to track down the child? After which they continued on to eventually catch up to Rydia and her escort Reis. Both of which were allegedly killed."
Priest: "Yes, they were.."
Airlia: "..well what you didn't know is Infinity was on the escort with Reis and Rydia. Reis survived to bring the little baby to safety and raise him"
Priest: "Details my dear.....they're simply details. I personally don't care if that pile of scum Reis had survived. I take great pleasure knowing that he suffered and am actually more happy that he suffered longer by not dying then."
:The priest circles around them arrogantly:
Priest: "What is the point that you're trying to make? We eventually came up with him after he had left the second Garden."
Airlia: "Did you kill Shelby, Eko, and Red?"
Priest: "I think you know the answer for that as well."
:He grins and crosses his arms:
Priest: "They were all dead weight and would only eventually get in the way. By weeding out more and more of his friends it would make him more vulnerable. Instead of directly attacking him though we used the Palace and the priests as a front. He thought he was in charge....perhaps....as legend said he should have....however there is no place in the community for a half breed. A half breed would not lead us. He would not be our savior."
Airlia: "So it was true? He was the one?"
Priest: "Once again irrelevent. He's gone and we didn't have to first hand finish him. His offspring however are the final pieces to be placed into this masterpiece. After you die we will track them down in full force and finish our job. There will be nothing left of his legacy."

Voice: "I can't take this any longer!"
:One of the hooded priests throws off their gowns. Madison Paige stands in place:
"This is ridiculous....I can't believe this!"
:The four beside her ungown to reveal her brother Xavier, Rainii Loire, Chance Ambers, and Crohan Mechanly. Madison glances at them:
"Detain these criminals!"
:Xavier sprints to the rickety old door, the only exit, and unsheathes his blade:
Xavier: "No one is leaving this fun party.."
:The 8 other priests huddle on the other side of the room whispering amoung themselves while the High Priest still stands in the middle of the room in shock:
"This---this isn't what you think it is?! Where, what, how di-did you all get here?!"
:From under his cloak his hand reveals a blade. The frightened priest steps back behind his prisoners and holds the dagger to Airlia's throat:
"Come no closer."

::Eva growled slightly at still being tied up while struggling even harder to get out her restraints::
I'm happy they're here but ugh this is annoying! Got to get down from here..
::Eva looked over at the coward priest wanting to give nothing but pain the the guy::
"What happened to the big and mighty priest that was tormenting two women huh? All I see is a coward."

:He laughes at her mockingly and kicks her in the face. Eva swings back and forth from the chains still unable to attack:
"Big talk from someone that can't back it. We'll see how you handle the Penance."
:The priests behind him shriek and are cut down from the shadows. The strange female figure reveals herself. The same one that had been hunting down Eva, Airlia, and Chamber the entire time:
"...now...where were we?"
(OOC- I'm gonna hold up until we get the other 2 to post. I have the rest essentially planned out)

"What do you mean it 'isn't what we think it is'? I think it looks fairly self-explanatory."
::Rainii stands by Xavier, blade unsheathed. She notices Penance watching them, and she stares at her right back, waiting to see who moves first.::

:Airlia feels the blade ever so slightly cutting into her throat and tries to remain calm:
She knew there would be sacrifices on this mission. She knew people would die, but she needed the truth to be known. This was her penance for abandoning Infinity and the Academy long ago. She was bound to atone for her mistakes. The priest had said it all. The deaths of Infinity's parents, his wife, his uncle, and his loyal guardian wolf. The attempted murder of his adopted father and friend as well as the planned murders of his children. The entire plan had been exposed and now the actual legacy will have been fulfilled
"There's nothing you can do now. You set everything in motion and failed. The Phoenix will always rise from its ashes. The prophecy has been correct so far. You may have been rid of Infinity, but he will return to us."
:She feels the blade grow closer and blood begin to trickle from the slice:
Priest: "The prophecy was not meant for him. Not a half breed scum."
:The priest points at the four unwelcomed guests:
"Get them, I'll take care of these two."

(OOC-Sorry I'm fashionably late)
::Crohan glares at Penance that would freeze Death. He points the tip of his gunblade toward her.::
"Shall we dance?"
::One by one, Crohan's copies seemed to appear out of the shadows. The light from the fire danced around them, emphasizing the darker than normal features of the real Crohan. Five shadows, although weaker than their owner, leveled out the playing field 1 to 1.
Hastega was cast by the real Crohan, giving his shadows, and all his allies a great speed advantage::

:Penance shakes her head and growls. She holds a hand up at Crohan:
[glow=red,2,300]No more play, only time to die.[/glow]
:Penance emits a red light and the shadows disappear. The unwelcomed guests feel unusually fatigued. Penance leaps at Crohan to draw first blood. She digs her razor sharp claws into his arms and slams him into the stone floor:

:Airlia dangles by the chains, barely holding on after Penance drained everyone's powers, leaving them only to fight with their weapons:
:Chamber steps forward towards the priest:
Chamber: "Please, there must be some way to bargain"
Meanwhile
:Madison and Xavier shove past and tackle Penance off Crohan:
Madison: "I can't believe its actually her. I thought she was only a legend?"
:Xavier grins and winks:
Xavier: "Perhaps.."

"Chamber!"
::Chamber turns to see Rainii right behind him, looking less than thrilled.::
"Really? You're really trying to bargain with them? Because, honestly--::she points behind her to Xavier, Madison, Penance and Crohan.::--I think we're past the point of bargaining with these people. Now come on!"
::She turns away, focused on helping the others fight Penance.::

::Eva continued to swing on her chains giving her a pendulum effect as she started swinging faster and faster::
I have to time this just right otherwise this could be bad on the both of us.
::She noticed that the priest had turned his attention towards Chambers and saw his grip relax slightly on knife that was on Airlia's neck after Penance had drained everyone::
Ugh I swear i'm going to kill this man even though i'm chained!
::She managed to swing behind and wrapped her chain that bounded her hands around his neck making him drop the knife to bring it towards his neck to loosen up Eva's hold on him who in turn was trying to keep it pressed against him as tight as possible::
(OOC-I wasn't too sure about the visual in regards to how far apart the two were but i figured they might have been close enough for her to swing and do it lol)

:Chamber nods and unholsters one of his side arms and quickly fires off a shot at the priest. The perfectly placed shot pierces his chest, leaving him dangling in the chains. Chamber takes aim and fires two more shots to drop Airlia and Eva to the ground. He rushes up to them and begins to unchain them:
Chamber: "Sorry about the wait, Madison and Xavier ordered us to wait as long as possible to see if Airlia wasn't lying."

::Eva frowned slightly as she rubbed her wrists::
"Geez that shows how much trust people have in each other but thanks for helping out."
::Eva went over to Airlia and helped her up to heal the wound on her neck and on her head::
"I would ask if your alright but I think it would be pretty obvious right about now..."
::She finished healing Airlia's wound before looking around with a frown::
"Now the next question is where are our weapons at."

::Crohan, being slammed to the floor by Penance, quickly jumps to his feet. Calculations flew through his head as he took in the situation::
No magic, no abilities, no supportive spells.
::Crohan's arm was bleeding, but the pain was out of mind. A void formed between him and emotion; it kept him calm, cool, and collected. It was going to be sheer swordsman ability against her. He had the advantage of allies, which he took with gratitude. If what his allies had said was true, then she was a legend. Not to be underestimated.
Crohan had only six cartridges in his gunblade. He was going to plan this out very carefully.
::As Penance was being held by Xavier and Madison, Crohan dashed to his target, stopped, then swung upward letting the blade cut upwards from her stomach to her shoulder. He used the momentum to swing himself into a quick defensive position. His eyes were focused on her movements::
