The Scouts quickly see a large group of people who are being herded toward one of the firepits by ugly warrior type drones, who are cracking energy whips through the crowds. The warriors remind them of insects with their thick covering armor. The mass of people look to be malnourished and mistreated in the extreme.

They can see the leading edge of the crowd is halted before a large statue. The statue is of a powerful looking figure and the eyes of the statue glow. At a platform beside the firepit stands a large and very elderly looking woman. Her white hair is cut to shoulder length and forms a cloud around her face. She snarls at the people and points what appears to be a thick tue at one of them. A scarlet beam launches out and vaporizes a woman trying to pull a child away from one of the warrior drones.

Old Woman: "Foolish cow! Granny Goodness can see potential in the child and you want to be selfish?"

Granny Goodness smiles largely at the child but the expression is completely false.

Granny: "Come to Granny now child, Granny loves you. Not like that wretch who wanted to keep you from serving our master, Darkseid."

Eos and Val are nearly sickened at what they see. Granny Goodness in a matter of minutes has the little girl spitting on the ashes of her mother.
 
:: Eos, now invisible, watches in horror as 'Granny Goodness', or whatever sheis, has the once pleading child spit upon what once was her mother. Backing away a bit, she finds Val and by touch, sgnifies that she just saw what had happened as well. Keeping out of the way of everyone, she's careful not to make any noise or leave any footsteps.::

This is disgusting!
 
::Val's eye widen in horror as she watches the scene unfold. Biting her lip, she controls herself as she watches. Shaking her head a little, Val looks at the girls face. Closing her eyes, she squeezes Eos' hand and Val carefully continues.::
 
: Kyroe watches as His fellow Gols go into a private room while he is orbing in he slips in behind Eos and stands against a wall. He listens to the tale og the gems and decides to believe the woman. When Ikaris enters his mind can feel the power of the gem. He runs into theportla after the others and then sits in the camp as Eos and Val go out to scout. He then looks over and Kevin and Jules as they leave to watch Eos and Val's backs. He sighs and looks around. He smiles at Kara and waves to her and then he nods to Will and Tash in greeting:
 
::she sees Kyroe appearing and smiles::

it´s great to have more people here

::she suddenly feels something from eos and val but she doesn´t scare because it´s not fear what they are feeling. she doesn´t know why but they feel really angry::
::She looks at will and tash::

is there anything we can do?
 
:: Will glances at Kara from the corner of his eye, then turns back to the scene before them.::

No Kara, not yet.

:: With numbers like these, timing would have to be exactly what was needed in order to be successful and survive. There was a time to fight, and a time not to. ::

Ok, down there..see anything we're looking for, or anything noteworthy? How many of those ugly armored ******** are down there?
 
::Eos here's Will's voice and tries to mindspeak back. She hopes he can here her.::

Erm...from my position, I don't think its possible to get an exact count. But they're really, armored, we're lucky we have all of you higherlevels along.

:: She does the equivalent of a nervous giggle in her mind.::

There seems to be a huge something they're worshipping, but I couldn't tell you anymore. Val's had a better look at most of the things, try getting information off of her...
 
:: Crouched on a ledge with Kevin, Jules watches the drama unfold. Closing her eyes as the the little girl is reduced to ashes. She then turns to Kevin and touches his hand, absorbing his empathy powers::

I might need that power if I loose sight of them...at least I'll be able to feel if their in trouble

:: Hearing Will's questions, but unable to hear Eos' answers she takes another look around before answering::

There's about 30 of those warriors with the group of people.....there worshiping some kind of statue...and it looks like it's eyes are glowing. As far as I can tell some old woman is running the show...
 
:: Kevin nodded towards Jules, allowing her absorbtion process to cmopy his empathic powers he kept his eyes fixed on the scene, cringing as the old woman vaporized a woman, not taking his eyes away from them he connected telepathically with his fellow Guardians ::

Jules right, "Granny Goddess" seems to be the leader or something, not looking to good but i can tell she's got a hell of alot of powers


:: Glaring at the various guards he crouched lower when one drone looked towards them, sighing mentally he tried to count the drones ::

30 or more i'd say, not gonna be easy to take out, if we are aiming to take them out we better be careful, we're seriously outnumbered. And Granny over there aint looking too freindly
 
::Opening her mind up, Val communicates with Will and Natasha.::

I see about forty armed warriors here. These people are malnourished, but are fierce. They have killed one of their own, so they know how to fight and the fierceness. They worship this god called darkseid. That child that just spat might be useful to us though, if we can get her away from the group. She might be able to tell us some information.
 
: Kyroe gets up and walks over to Kara and he sits down next to her. He looks at her awhile before speaking:

" So whats been happening? With you and whatever everyone else is mindspeaking with?"

: Kyroe strecthes and crosses his legs indian style while he looks at Kara waiting for her answer:
 
:: Will turns and glares at Kyroe as he speaks to Kara.::

What do you think you're doing? Does this look like a time to socialize and play catch up? Shut up before you end up getting the attention of the 40 people down there that would love to kill us. If you MUST prattle on, use friggin' mindspeak as it was said earlier. It's not hard. You all have the ability with each other.

:: He turned his full attention now back to the group below, thinking on what Val had said to him.::

Alright..good work..no sign of the gem? What do you see as the most probable way of getting the kid alone from where you're at? If we can get the people to fight back also, then it would make things much easier. Even if they did nothing, we'd be fine. We'll have to take out those warriors or at least hold them while neutralizing that old woman. Natasha, i'll leave that part up to you. As for the warriors down there, I'll handle that one.

:: He reached up to his head, pulling his hitai-ate all the way over, covering the back of his head, and pulling the other part down across his face, only his eyes now visible. As he did this, four other Will's appeared without a sound, faces covered just as him as they let down their invisibility.::

Hmpf..never travel alone..ok...you four down there, back up a bit away from them. Jules, i'm going to start distracting those warriors. That'll be your signal for a lil' bit of fun with the temperature. You'll know what to do, i'm sure. The four here with me know what they're gonna do already, and will move when its time. This should be pretty basic for you people, so let's do this.
 
::she agrees, moving her head. Kara becomes invisible and follows will untill they arrive at the place where the rest of the gols are. she stays there to be near jules when all the fun beggings and waits for will´s next movement::
 
Before willblade stages his attack, another group arrives at the firepit. It is a smaller group of 6 or so women, including a pre-teen girl. One of the women is a large and musclebound speciman, covered in leather straps from head to toe. She is apparently the leader of the group and she is the one who addresses Granny Goodness.

Woman:"Granny, the Furies are getting bored just sitting around here. Can you hurry it up some? These lowlies aren't getting any fresher."

Granny: "Lashina, you will just have to wait. One doesn't hurry these things. Its all for the glory of Darkseid."

Lashina looks bored at the spectacle as if this sort of thing happened every day. Granny continues on glorifying Darkseid until her eyes shine with a light of their own, that of a religious zealot. Finally she ends her dialogue with a signal to the warrior guards. The warriors come alive at her signal and begin driving the crowd into the firepit. Screams can be heard as the "lowlies" are driven and pushed into the pits.

The ceremony finished, Granny dismisses the guards and takes the girl child with her as she leaves, heading into a large building that looks like some sort of high security prison. The Furies mutter among themselves as they follow her.
 
:: Kevins eyes widend as the furies apporahced, his heightened senses picking up their conversation this Lashina was obviously the leader of the furies. He was tempted to jump into the fray and start attacking as the people plunged into the pit of fire but knew it would be suicide. From what he knew about furies they would not be easy to defeat, although that was not his main priority. Granny was ::

Will If we're going to do something know then we better do it know! I'm not just gonna sit back and watch innocent people die

:: His eyes jetted towards each Will, each gaze filled with the same amount of fierceness and power, Kevin was ready to fight ::
 
:: Upon seeing the Furies enter the fray, a bit of frustration was evident in his expression. Talk about complicating things. No matter, just something else to deal with.::

Well, this just gets better..looks like we'll just have a change of plans. Alright...options.. we can split into groups, one to handle the guards, and the other to go and take on the Furies and that lady. That seems to be the hardest challenge.

:: As he communicated, two of the Will's behind him made clones of themselves, adding two more to the fray.::

Alright... Natasha, three of... me, and a group of her choosing will go directly to the Furies. You have to cut them off and leave the old woman alone, but you must work fast. Jules, myself, the other four of me and the other three there will handle these warriors..quickly. We'll meet you there at the Furies. Be careful in what you do and how you handle them...good luck. You're been training to work together, and to use your abilities better..this is the time to use it.

:: With that, the four of him remaining silently called forth their ancestral spirits, while Will (the first one) called forth his (6 each), creating a small army of his own, while less in number, definately adaquate enough to deal with the challenge here.::

Ok, Jules, everyone here with the warriors..continue as planned with our attack. Remember to focus your move directly in the area of the warriors, Jules. You move right after my first move. That's your signal.

:: Seeing the warriors together, relishing their accomplishment of throwing the people into the pit, Will motioned towards the warriors, a deadly poison cloud forming spontaneously around the group, disorienting them, the fatal poison taking its effect as it looms over them. This was the signal he ment to Jules, and hope she got it, and would take the hint he gave her to 'have fun with the temperature', and use her ability to compliment his. He made his first move, now it was time for the others to follow after Jules and jump in, while the other forms of him and all of the called ancestors were in position waiting for their time.::
 
OOC: will, there are no more guards to be attacking, they are dismissed and no one in their right mind would enter Granny's orphanage of their own free will.(At least for those who live on Apokolips, that is). The way is clear to follow Granny and the Furies should you choose.
 
:: Eos, watching the scene unfold before her eyes, still hugs the shadows, happy with her power of being invisible. Looking up, she watches as the four Wills put the poison gas over the guards. Out of the corner of her eye, Eos sees the Furies following Granny Goodness into a building looking slightly like a prison. Opening her mind, Eos calls.::

Sop the attack!!! Will, Natasha, Jules...everyone! They're going somewhere totally different....

:: She moves forward cautiously, keeping tabs on them, She doesn't want to follow them, she could get caught away from her group.::

Guys!
 
We should listen to Eos. I have a feeling that something....special is inside.

: Kyroe gets up and slowly unsheathes his Mythril sword. He moves to where Eos is and keeps an eye on Kara that way he can find the group if they get separrated. He crouches next to her ad waits for the go ahead to move next to the prison-like building. With his freehand he snaps his fingers and his clothes change to his personal Elven garb. He looks to Eos and gives a short wave and then waits for Will or Tash to reply:
 
:: nodding to Will's plan, but raising an eyebrow to his casual remark that she would be able to neutralise whatever the old woman's name wash, she chuckled, then turned to the remaining GoL's in the area ::

:: honing her own powers of naturalism and shamanism, she cloaks her presence as she connects the minds of all the GoL's present - enabling them to send and receive messages from anyone at anytime. Embued within the link she combined a panic alarm that would notify the nearest GoL to another of their members if they were injured or unresponsive ::

:: calling her energies back to herself again she tested the cloaked link and smiled ::

Ok guys - now we are all in contact with one another. Do not use spoken word unless you absolutely have to. Speak through the link i have just created. If you get into trouble, don't worry - the link has a safety net built into it so that should you fall victim to any attack, help will be on its way in an instant.

:: speaking to Eos, she changes the tone of her voice ::

Eos tell me - what do you see. Picture it in your mind for me and describe it.
