Varys turned quickly, monstrous clawed hand at the ready to strike the person that had come through the portal. It was stayed by the firgure he saw, Alastin. Varys knew this one, he was a decent one, one that wasn't to be feared or hated. The disproportional black hand twitched slightly,it was waiting for something more.
The lightning and setting weren't something to inspire fear in Varys. He was a man too used to these typical backdrops, that didn't detract from the disorienting nature of the lightning however. Or the company of people whom, for the most part, he didn't know.
The scream, The hand, the odd transformation and the sword slash.
All happened so quickly, all happened without any chance of going back. The tombs were opened and the skeletal figures emerged from their places of rest. It wasn't long before the others attacked, ice and fire ripped through the ranks of dead. The air cleared slightly for a moment, three skeletons left.
Varys raced forward, his tall frame covering the ground quickly, the elongated and enlarged black right arm holding it self out to the side. Boney finger talons twitching in anticipation. Varys stopped and pivoted on his left foot, a primal and deep rumbling battle cry emitting from his throat as the huge hand whipped around and smashed into a skeleton. The arm whirled around over Varys' head and slammed into the second skeleton only a split second later. The hand circled around above his head one last time before coming down, claws first downward onto the last skeleton. The long white taloned fingers buried deep in the earth.
Todesknochen was growing inside Varys. Gaining more control slowly. Varys limited the transformation slightly, the wet sounds of his skin changing growing louder as it spread across his shoulder blades and back around to the other arm. Varys would let out a small cry of anguish as his left arm soo mimiced his right. This would be an interesting night....

The team worked fast and fiercely to get the army under control. It seemed that the undead weren't too hard for the team to dispatch. The three taken out quickly by the one known as Xavier was true art work but the combo attack of one Alastin and Lexandra seemed to make it all the better. Taking out twelve alone with their attacks. Definite team work and that was what might be needed if they were to survive the night. Together the team worked and when the last skeleton fell at the hands of the nightmare all seemed to stand still.
All that was left now were bones. A purple light shone from the bones as they lifted up reforming the skeletons. Returning to the earth from wence they came the ground closed up once more and it was as if the whole thing had never happened. The moon shone down an orange light as the lightning flashed showing the ominious looking house that awaited the group. Like a classic horror movie the door to the house opened with a long and drawn out creak. Come in it beckoned without words. Beyond was nothing but black. Was this the next destination? Perhaps.

Xavier sighed with relief as he returned to his human form. The skeletons had been dispatched. He had to admit Lex and Alastin had an incredible combination attack that left him a little awe-inspired. Xavier was rather pleased with his own combat performance, he and Biz had managed to take three skeletons by themselves. He wiped some of the bone fragments off of his robes as he secured his staff to his back and moved over to Lex.
Xavier looked at Alastin's dragon with an awe-struck grin, a real dragon. He hadn't ever actually seen one in person. Magus had tol him that there were few true dragons left in the world. The last great dragon lords, the Primevals, had been slain by the sorcerers of old in a vain attempt to make the Primevals' power their own. But sitting in front of him now was a living, breathing dragon. Xavier probably should have figured that there were people out there making sure that dragons were not going to go extinct. He wondered if there any dragon lords left or if that title had died with the Primevals.
"Wow Lex, Alastin," he said with a whistle as he approached them with a grin, Birazcir trotting at his side, "That was awesome you two," he said with a nod. Their combination attack certainly had been impressive, "It's nice to meet you dragon," Xavier said with a small but reverant bow, "I apologize if I seem a little awe-struck I just have never had the pleasure of meeting a dragon in person," he said with a smile as his eyes were glued to Misae.
He shook his head a little as heard the door to the house creak open, "Well looks like we know where we're supposed to go," he said with a grin as he did a quick check to make sure he had easy access to his staff and then set off towards the house with Birazcir trotting at his side. Xavier was surprised how quiet the wolf had been this whole time, maybe the perverse twisting of life that had re-animated those skeletons had disturbed him more than it had disturbed Xavier.

Alastin had remembered the wink for Lexandra and flushed alittle as he rubbed the back of his head in remembering it. Jeez why did she have to pick on him like that? He gave a small sigh as he nuzzled against Misae lightly. Normally people would be cold from touching an ice element dragon but, Alastin was used to it and his element was also ice and wind. The teamwork had already been stupendous and Alastin was mentally glad that he had been delayed by his fear somewhat. It had left an oppening for Lexandra to take advantage of. Still he was already gasping for breath softly the two spells having drained a third of his energy. It wasn't the long-term exhaustion just the short gotta catch my breath sort of thing from expelling so much magic so quickly. Even at spellcaster level it was a whopping drain.
~You ok?~
Yeah...
~We'll go to Ziare when this is over.~
K...
Alastin played with his crystal cross again as he saw Xavier watching them with a sort of dumbstruck look and gave a mental sigh for a moment. Xavier was a druid so he would know already how rare dragons were but, seriously Alastin didn't want to listen to the rambling. Misae was his bond dragon it was true but, dragons were also keenly aware of how much of an impact they could have on the environment which is why they kept thier numbers low in these days. He yawned for a moment as he heard Xavier approach them one of Alastin's fingers running against the smooth lustery scale that he was touching on the back of Misae's neck. Misae was bonded to him for life which meant that she would beat at his side until he died. However, she was fully capable of having wyrmlings of her own if she found a suitable mate.
Your call.
Still Misae turned her intelligent eyes towards Xavier for a moment and looked down at her. Draconian intelligence studying the young man for several long moments.
"Indeed. Be careful in your words Xavier for not all of us are kind or friendly. Though I am bonded to Alastin so that means unless you threaten my bond mate you have nothing to worry of from me." Came Misae's deep and powerful voice since she only chose to speak to a few people mentally since she considered that more private. Misae sat Alastin down as she saw the house and knew that Alastin couldn't take her. With a flash she was gone tapping into Alastin's magics to bring forth Laelaps. A beautiful hound emerged from the shadows itself it seems not having the dynamic entry of Misae. The only other notable thing was how the winds howled for a brief moment. The large hound stood beside Alastin pressing his muzzled against Alastin's side and recovering a good portion of mana for him.
"Laelaps..." Alastin said softly wrapping his arms around the large hound's neck who was easily over five feet in total height. Alastin nuzzled against the warm fur to calm himself down. He was ready to follow when the others went ahead but, right now he was trying to calm down.

Junpei flipped the blade around and returned to himself as the other members of the little party took care of the rest of the zombies. Junpei's mistake, he had learned from ti and from the looks of it, no one had any problems with it, aside from a very shaky Alastin who seemed to be clinging to that dog like it was his lifeline.
Junpei had seen some rather interesting abilities in this group. Ice control from Alastin an his dragon, the crazed bow girl, the nature wielding druid who could become a bear. Phaedra's abilities were growing as well, he had certainly missed a lot.
Sighing to himself Junpei slipped the blade into it's sheath an walked up next to Phaedra, wrapping an arm around her waist he gave her a soft smile and kissed her cheek. An apology for making things so hectic so fast. She would understand and he would let her go a moment later to walk over to Alastin setting his hand on the boys shoulder Junpei gave him a look of sincere apology and spoke softly.
"Sorry Alastin, I didn't mean to drop you intoa grave like that."
Standing back up Junepi turned to the rest of the group and blinked as the house lit up with lightning. Oh joy more zombies would probably come pouring outa the thing. The doors opened on their own and Junpei's blade was drawn again, this time held loosely in his right hand he walked back over to Phaedra and took up a position next to her.
"Shall we?"
He said loud enough for the whole group to hear and then headed off for the front door, hopefully with Phaedra at his side.

SORRY?! HE WAS SORRY?! You know after getting the pissed scared out of him being in a freaking grave that was who knows how big all he freaking apologized for was how SORRY he was at him dropping in there. Oh no sir we don't apologize for nearly scaring the piss out of people by nearly hacking their legs off with some fat-ass sword. Oh no sir that's not like us sir we just like scaring the piss out of people yes sir yes sir indeed. Alastin was twitching madly where he stood for a moment. He was sorry for just that?! He was only apologizing for that?! Alastin twitched even more the more he thought about it the more he got mad at the sheer insincerity of the man. This guy just needed just needed…well hell Alastin didn’t know he was just a healer not the barbarian of the year. He twitched wishing suddenly he had some huge mace or something to smash that confident man a few times. Just a few knocks to see how thick that bloody head was. Just a few? Please?
“SORRY?!” Alastin yelled loudly as he was still clinging to Laelaps but, he was quickly gaining his nerve once more as he began to get a bit braver for this moment. Isn’t anger just wonderful? You never know what it could do.
"SORRY?! SORRY?!" Alastin said with a twitch in his eyes. "YOU'RE SORRY?! WHAT ABOUT KNOCKING MY ASS OVER?! PISSING OFF LOTS OF BAD GUYS OR HELL....just you know adding to my scared shitless factor with your sword so dangerously close to merrily hacking off my leg!" he yelled.
Alastin pissed off? Why yes he was as he strode over to Junpei and nearly got in his face Laelaps stupefied at what his healer was doing. Alastin was pissed as hell as he walked over and stood in front of Junpei his eyes twitching slightly. He felt something else egging him on as he stood in front of Junpei. Like this was familiar for the moment he didn’t know what else was fueling him or what was sparking him but, he was scared and whatever was egging him helped make him madder. He looked up for a moment as he felt a slashing pain. Unaware that he was glancing into one of Phae’s memories of one of the many times she had torn into Junpei. There was nothing else to describe the raw pain of abandonment. Yeah Junpei just did that to him he didn’t know what was driving him as he shiver for a moment. This was the disadvantage of being a healer sometimes when he lost control he delved two deep into something.
“Sorry doesn’t cut it Junpei Taltos you.. YOU BETTER NOT ABANDON ANYONE EVER AGAIN! That was a promise I…” he clutched his head again shivering where he was. Why was he so mad? What was gnashing at him? It was just a loss of cool yet why did it feel so familiar? He shivered again Misae growling and flaring for a moment slamming his senses away for that moment. Alastin looked down his eyes different once more.
“You can’t do that to people it's not right it's harsh and cruel. It's just wrong no beyond wrong since you have the responsibility of a student teacher as you claimed. Well then quit having that damned ego flaunting around and show that you ACKNOWLEDGE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACT LIKE YOU HAVE IT!” he yelled one last time wiping his eyes. Tears? Where had the tears come from? Laelaps nudged his side and he wrapped his arms around the hound again looking down at the ground. Misae murmuring soothing words in his mind.
Wha…what happened?
~You felt someone else’s familiarity in this affair. Something triggered and you went to deep.~
Did I do something wrong?
~Just don’t say anything else right now.~
Alastin nodded at Misae’s voice.

They were done and she smiled resheathing her blade. She tossed some of her red hair over her shoulder as she surveyed the very weird bones going back into the ground. The ground seemed to heal up and she looked it over. Well that was interesting. Junpei came over and put his arm around her waist as he talked to Alastin.
But then something snapped. Alastin was what snapped. Phae turned to see the young quiet very subdued mage in the face of her fiance'. Oh crap! This could get ugly really really fast. She could only stand there in disbelief as the seemingly sweet and timid healer just went off on Junpei. It was almost funny but she knew that to laugh would probably piss Jun off.
She heard her own words spit back at Junpei and she gasped. He was.. oh my god. Junpei didn't know she had gone to Alastin with her problems that once. She stormed over to Alastin and slapped him hard across the face as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"How DARE you use that against him you. .. you... damn healer! I trusted.. you." she screamed at him as she turned and ran to catch up with Xavier.
She didn't want anything to do with that crap back there. Catching up with him for the most part she wiped her tears away as she walked now beside Xavier. She was ready to get this thing over with she was already ready to go back home.
"So you and the girl.. Lexi, are together? If so, that's good. She's different than most girls but.. it's nice that you found someone you trust completely." she said softly as she didn't look at Xavier but straight ahead.

What the hell is that thing?! Lexi watched as some guy turned into something from a B flick. It really was a freaking B flick. Lightning, crazy graveyard, crazy partymember, and the walking dead. Yeah basically that gave you one of those horrible Sci Fi Original Crap fests. Now you had the crazy party member with the crazed transforming abilities.
It was cool. But freaking scary she was totally staying away from that dude.
Xavier's voice cut through it all as he complimented her and Winky on their combo attack. Yeah Winky it was a good nick name for him and that was all there was to it.
"Thanks babe." she said as she kissed Xavier's cheek quickly.
She was on the job you don't get lovey dovey on the job it was just gross. She was here to kill things and fight things and get the hell home where there she could be lovey dovey. Xavier took off towards the house where the door decided to open itself. Lexi ran out over the field and gathered the two reusable arrows and put them back in her quivers.
"SORRY?! SORRY?!" Alastin said with a twitch in his eyes. "YOU'RE SORRY?! WHAT ABOUT KNOCKING MY ASS OVER?! PISSING OFF LOTS OF BAD GUYS OR HELL....just you know adding to my scared shitless factor with your sword so dangerously close to merrily hacking off my leg!" he yelled.
Was that.. Winky? No.. that boy hadn't a mean or loud bone in his body. But sure enough his purple head was right in Ol Teach's face. She chuckled as she walked back on the scene listening quietly until..
SMACK!!
Lexi's head shot up as Phae had just finished slapping and then yelling at Alastin. Well that was bad. Crap. Now she was gonna have to play mediator because Xavier was a bit too far to be his happy go lucky kill any tension self. She walked over and pulled Alastin to the side as Phae stormed off and far enough away from Jun so that maybe.. just maybe he'd go after Phae instead.
"Look Winky you gotta be careful at whatcha say.." she looked around and then grinned that look only Xavier had seen that mean she was happy about something. Not a smile just a grin.
"Allright, bro that was about the coolest thing I have ever seen. You gave Teach the ol one two. That was so awesome you totally went on my bro list. Damn Winky that rocked." she gave him a rather hard pat on the back.
"Now unsummon your guard dogs we don't wanna be left alone out here. I don't know about you but I don't want another freakin army comin on my ass we wouldn't have Grave Digger back there to help us out. So come on." she said with another of her classic winks as she gave him a shove in the right direction.

Alastin looked down realizing that he had gone too far and it didn’t help that he already felt but, Phae was about to make him feel even worse. He winced when he sensed that rage and anger that was directed at him more importantly she was hurt by his actions and he bit his lip for a moment. And she came at him with tears running down her face and he was instantly sent reeling with a powerful blow from Phae. A blow that he could feel both physically and mentally and boy did it hurt.
*SMACK*
The sound seemed to echo as Alastin winced and touched the cheek that she had slapped he had stumbled back a few feet before regaining his footing. In strength comparison Phae packed a punch compared to Alastin and the distance was quite noticeable. He bit his lip for a moment as she yelled at him and stormed off but, the fact that she was hurt was what he felt the most. The fact that he had abused that trust somehow in his fit of fear and helpless anger. He bit his lip again as he felt Lexandra approach him and give him a reassuring pat on the shoulder for a moment. He bit his lip and gave a weak smile at her but, he still felt horrible for what he did. He had a double-apology to make that much was certain. He gave a mental sigh for a moment. Man he really did blow it this time. He heard Lexandra’s comment and gave another weak smile at Lex. So she was impressed by what he did? Well it’s an odd world.
“Thanks Lex,” Alastin said softly for a moment as he approached Junpei again the stinging slap on his cheek a reminder of how far he had gone as he looked up at him. He gave a soft sigh for a moment and shook his head as he for gently tapped the ground with his foot.
“I’m sorry Junpei, I didn’t mean to go off like that but, I was afraid as hell in a panic and I…I just went off I didn’t mean for it to sound like that,” Alastin said softly as he looked down. He was calmer with the nervous energy vented but, it was clear that he felt guilty over the whole affair for that moment. He just felt bad and he gave another small sigh as he let his wings come out again Laelaps giving Lexandra an escort to catch up with the others.
“What I just said I shouldn’t have and I went above myself,” Alastin said softly as he murmured several latin words and with a small rush of winds he appeared in front of Phaedra for a moment and looked up at her giving a brief sigh as he brought out a handkerchief and handed it to her for a moment and looked up at her.
“Phae, I didn’t mean to go off like that I…” he sighed and looked away looking down he was really feeling horrible for what he did and it showed the stinging mark that was on his cheek showed. It showed just how much of an impact mark that Phae had made on him as he shook his head for a moment. “I was afraid and lost it at the wrong moment venting in a way I shouldn’t have. You know I can read thoughts but, what you don’t know is that I can’t control it. It’s more of a random sense effect or if I’m doing something that’s familiar to another then it might trigger a memory influx. I had no intention in breaking the bond of trust of healer and patient. Do you think that I wanted to just strut around and look good for myself?” Alastin asked as he looked up at Phae and shook his head.
“I didn’t, what I did was in stupidity, fear, and just plain confusion. Your memory triggered the rant even further by all the nine hells I don’t know why it was your memory Phae. I have no clue how deep the history runs. If I did then…” he looked away. “Then I might have been able to bite my tongue more easily,” he said softly. “Again I’m sorry…” he said sadly as he drew his own gun but, just loaded it for self-defense as he walked with the group gently kind of hanging back for Lex to catch up.

Xavier and Biz had entered the house alone, it seemed the rest of the team hadn't quite caught up yet. Xavier sighed a little as he stopped and leaned in the doorway of the house, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked back out over the graveyard to see what was keeping the rest of the group. He heard murmured shouts, it was hard to here what was going on from here so he quickly activated his Senses of the Predator spell. Xavier grinned as his hearing and sight heightened along with his smell, but the fact that his smell heightened wasn't really all that useful. No it only further enhanced the disgusting musty, dank odor of the house and Xavier coughed a little. Biz only shook his head, the boy should have realized that the spell would enhance all of his senses.
Xavier listened with wide eyes as Alastin went absolutely berserk on Junpei. That was rather reasonable considering the seemingly offhanded way Junpei had apologized for accidentaly unleashing a hoard of skeletal horrors on them and endagering Alastin. Xavier shook his head a little, the arrogance of some people was overwhelming. But then Xavier sighed again and shook his head as Alastin yelled something that he clearly shouldn't have as Phae stormed over and slapped him. He had used something against Junpei that Phae had told Alastin in conifdence, apparently. That was wrong, Alastin should have known better, healer's were supposed to be known for their gentle, reasonable nature. Alastin definitely had to work on his behavior a little if he wanted to be a truly good healer.
Birazcir sighed a little, scratching the back of his ear with his paw, "Well so much for the organized little squad of a few minutes ago," he said with a small chuckle, "You humans...one minute you function in perfect unison the next you're at each other's throats," the wolf said shaking his head, "I'll never understand you lot..."
Xavier gave Phae a small grin as he pushed himself off of the doorframe and walked beside her, "Yea, Lex definitely is unique, but I like unique," he said with a faint grin as he walked beside her, "I uh take it that you and Junpei..have a history?" he asked softly, not wanting to push the subject too strongly. Then Alastin appeared and went through a little apology routine before hanging back with Lex. Xavier gripped his staff a little more resolutely, "Well let's get this over with," he said, casting a friendly grin back at the group as they started to get deeper into the house.

Varys kept to himself in the exchanges that followed the skirmish. His arms tensing insanely as Varys tried to keep his mind in check. The black skinned arms bulged insanely, the transformation occuring slightly more.
Each heated word, each angry thought.
The black skin began consuming his back and chest further, small growls of pain as his body tore and changed, his mind following suit as Todesknochen yearned for release. The claws dug into the ground slightly. It was difficult, but Varys was retaining control. There was a small sigh and Varys looked around.
He was still in the place, the small horror show would continue as the opening of the door signaled. He knew better than to keep a nightmare waiting. Varys began moving towards the opened door, his body leaning forward slightly and using the elongated and gotesque arms for support, effectively walking on all fours while mostly standing.
The other's may follow, they may not, it hardly mattered. Varys was on a slight time limit for control and it was better if he wasn't around when he lost it.

It was in the house that the horrors seemed to only get worse. You see on all Hallows eve you don't want to be in a haunted house brought to life by the blackest magic in the world. No no. Yet these six fools had walked blindly into a portal and that would be their death. Yes yes. But only some of them would die at first leaving the rest to.. suffer.
Screams and shouts, Torture and chaos, blood and bones. Oh yes tonight would be a night where the true symphony of the night came to be. Yes it would be brutal but that was what dark magic was correct? Brutal yet so beautiful. Like the purple light that represents its element. So dark and impure yet so terribly attracting.
Scurries could be heard in the house around them as blackness set in. The kind of dark that no matter how bright the light it could not be penetrated. The door behind them slammed shut and if.. yes if they could look back they would see no door at all. It was just a wall. Covered in spiders and other creepy crawly things that go bump in the night. Oh yes glee was written on the faces of those above the group. Hidden in the small rafters above they watched the tasty childrens yes childrens stand in utter shock at the dark ness of the room as it seemed to seep within their very bones.
Suddenly the three made a decision. The commotion outside had seen fit to make this all the more interesting. Yes the screams of the ones you loved and cared for most were all that was needed. Sacrifice was best. But a blood sacrifice was better. With glee and dark black grins the small thin hands of the ones above leaned down and grabbed three members. Two girls and one boy the boy that was sad. Yes they wanted them THEM because each one was tasty especially the boy. So innocent and so weak from the magic outside oh yes an easy prey.
Up they were taken into the rafters and the three scurries off with their finds leaving the three men below to figure out what had happened. Oh yes tonight was one of glee and fun. Hallows eve had not been so sweet in so very long. Giggles heard from the devils as they sped away not to be seen again. Untrackable yet those three.. if they survived would find their matches again. heheheh.. if they survived.
A soft green light shone from in front of the three men that remained and lit the corridor. Slime rolled down the wall in front of them while maggots squirmed making the walls look alive. Two door stood. One on the right one on the left. A dark howling laughter was heard before two high pitched girls screams sounded. Oh yes tonight was going to be.. perfect.
OOC: Junpei, Varys, Xavier are alone.
Phae, Lexi, Alastin have been taken.

((OOC: Well hell I'll post first))
Phae heard the appology of Alastin and she nodded but didn't smile at him yet. Her trust was so very hard to gain back once broken anyone could ask Junpei that. He was still working on that daily and she was trying her best to be able to trust him when she fell asleep at night. With her constant nightmares it wasn't helping she really needed someone to help her deal with those memories. Dreamwalking, hypnosis, something. Perhaps Phoebe could.
She sighed softly and took Junpei's hand leaning against him. She wondered just how long they would be here. She was getting tired and she didn't know why she was stronger than this. She closed her eyes for a moment in the very dark cooridor and nuzzled into Junpei. She swore she heard something above but in the creepy dark house you don't just throw your hand up and fell around.
Suddenly she was pulled up. Her hand slipping right out of Jun's as she was taken.
"JUN!" she screamed barely able to make it out before her mouth was covered and she was carried away by some sort of creature. She beat at the creature and tried to get away but it held her in it's arms carrying her to the darkness. Damn it even had a hand on her sword so she couldn't draw it.
Shit! Where the hell are they taking me. She beat at him she thought she heard others.
"Dmmmm ymmmm llleeeee meeeeee goooooooo!" she tried to scream.

Xavier shuddered slightly as they made their way deeper into the house. This place was so wrong, so unnatural, it made him shudder. Not out of fear for his safety but out of horror that such a place even existed. It was a twisted nexus of black magic, magic so unnatural and unearthly that he couldn't help but shudder. He fell back to walk beside Lex, for some reason he felt like he should be near her.
Xavier knew she was fiercely independent but sometimes he just felt like he should try and protect, being that he was her boyfriend and all. However he would never actually tell her that because she would probably chew him out for underestimating her and what not. Xavier didn't mind though because even though she talked about how much she wanted to be independent, he knew she liked that he cared for her enough to want to take care of her.
The place seemed to get darker and darker as they got deeper into the house. There were things chittering and crawling around in the darkness. Xavier could feel Biz growing tense and he admitted he too was tensing up a little. The wolf growled faintly as they continued, the darkness was a tactical annoyance, it unnerved him not to be able to see their enemy coming.
One moment he had been walking next to Lex with their teammates nearby but the next something descended from the ceiling and snatched her up. Phae and Alastin too had been taken, though Xavier didn't know by what. He cursed silently as his grip tightened on his staff, "Lex, I'm coming for you!!" he called into the darkness, hoping she could hear him as he walked forward. There were two doors, the question was, which one would lead him to Lex, "Well the question is which door?" he asked, turning around to the two of his teammates left.

Everything happened rather fast. First Alastin snapped and began shouting at Junpei, Phae screamed back at Alastin and everything seemed to hit the fan. Yeah shit hitting the fan was a good way to sum this up. Junpei himself was stunned by both their actions, and he wondered what the hell was going on here... was this house doing something to them or was it just their own pent up feelings? Who knew, all Junpei card about now was seeing his friends and team-mates threw this alive and healthy.
So they walked forward after the whole incident passed with a bit more than tension and Alastin apologized and Junpei could only nod. He had no idea what was going on but it was disturbing him. If this was going to continue who knew what would happen. What was going to happen emotionally for all of them. Gathering up his nerves Junpei walked next to Phae as she took his hand and leaned on him. No one said anything for a bit, or at least Junpei didn't hear it. They probably were talking but his attention was on this house... why the hell was it so dark in here? He would find out soon after when Phaedra was snatched up next to him.
She screamed Junpei let out a growl and jumped after her, but she was gone. Falling back to the ground he landed on his knees and slammed a fist into the ground.
"DAMNIT!"
He stood up, not really caring about the mission anymore, whatever the hell it was he did not care, all he wanted was Phaedra back. His sword came out and he looked to each of them as he held the sword tightly in his hand, he was pissed. He walked forward and looked at each door, nothing special about either. Great the only way to do anything was to split up. Junpei's mind ran threw a few scenarios and he came out with one idea, he had to go it alone. The two could watch over each other, Junpei had Zandra to watch his back if need be, and if anyone was going to die on this mission... it was gonna be him. Looking at the two he sighed and spoke softly, almost unemotionally.
"You two take the door on the right, I'll go left. If you find anything don't try to get a hold of me, stay where you are and figure something out. No matter what happens DO NOT split up. I'm pulling rank here and making this a teacher's order, so you two go right, I'll head left."
