[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis looked at Cryodivus, and the enemy he faced. Quite frankly, he had no idea what the big guy was capable of. But then again, the big guy had no idea what Cryodivus was capable of.
At this juncture, he chose to listen to Cryodivus. He held his right hand out toward the seal. His fiery hand retreated into the bracer, and a jet of flame fired out of it and into the seal.[/glow]

[glow=white,1,500]Taelyrn watched Pyrodeus arrive, and came back to normal speed in time to hear his orders to himself, Visignis, and Viviana. Nodding, he focused his energy through all 8 tendrils directly at the seal, keeping his sword drawn before him.
He'd lost his heightened speed, but maybe, with all of them working together, they could pull this off before time ran out. He realized, however, that the outcome could just as easily be decided by the girl. He had to hope she'd make a choice, and soon.[/glow]

Leyra huddled in the corner of what remained of her cell. As she reckoned, over the last half hour or so, her last refuge had begun to fall apart. The stones that made up the small room seemed to just fade away, until her little corner was all that was left. Now, she waited for the end.
She felt the stones falling away from beneath her, and behind her. Felt the floor she sat up on give way. Then, just as she was about to fall herself...it stopped. One last brick gave way, and she lost her footing. Her left foot dropped, or started to, before coming against something smooth, and solid. Opening her eyes, Leyra looked around. The blackness was still there, but it had...changed, somehow. It had lost the threat it had held for her.
The threat is gone, but only for the moment. It seems you have a choice to make, Leyra.

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana looked at the girl laying on the table. She looked at her ring, then at the seal. Her gaze fell on the seal as she extended her left hand, putting the diamond between her eyes and the seal.
Firing her eye beams at the ring, the two beams, each only about half as thick as her wrist thanks to a little practice, converged upon the diamond, giving it a brilliant purple glow. A single laser, easily quadruple the power of one of her eye lasers before her wedding present, fired into the seal from the stone itself.[/glow]

A ripple opened in the air directly behind the beast of a man, a smaller officer seeming to step out of his back. Tobias felt awkward, being so close to the giant. When Anne said she'd locked on to his position, he didn't think she meant literally. His senses snapped him back to reality, realizing the full situation. He immediately pulled his gun off his shoulder, vanishing as he accelerated.
When he reappeared, Tobias was holding the barrels of his gun trained on the Kuryr's head. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting long," he said to Bruno, but his eyes locked onto the man he'd met on the previous world. "I told you we didn't need her alive, didn't I? I would suggest that you stop now, and hand her over. Unless you'd rather she died." His fingers tensed on the triggers, emphasizing his statements. If they refused, he would not hesitate to push two slugs into the woman's skull. "We are through negotiating."

[glow=red,2,500]Pyrodeus contemplated the situation. The little guy with the gun hadn't teleported, he had moved faster than even Pyrodeus' eye could follow. And not just a quick shift, he had ran halfway across the Forge. At first Pyrodeus thought he had teleported, but he felt the heat of the air as the guy moved through it. It was a faint change, but it definitely implied motion. Even Taelyrn, who could conceivably move at the speed of light, wouldn't be able to stop the guy at this range.
Pyrodeus looked at the girl. Her bleeding had stopped, a black goo covering the wound. She got some color back, and her breathing had become measured and normal. She was clearly going to survive. She looked healthy, maybe even strong. But she certainly hadn't taken in Nocticertus' power yet. She had actually hardly begun, and they wouldn't be able to stall long enough to finish before these two lost their cool and harmed her.
He stopped his flow of fire. "Okay, guys, they win this round," he said to the angels and nephilim within the forge. He then glared at the small one. "If you take her without injury, I'll let you leave here without injury. Hurt her," he said, starting to glow red, "and...let me put it like this. You guys can teleport. Have you ever been to a place where even the air burns? Spill blood in my Forge, and you will know a whole new definition of suffering for the brief moment before you are incinerated."[/glow]

[glow=white,1,500]Taelyrn stopped the transfer, more out of shock than out of conscious thought. He held his sword defensively, poised to make an attack against either enemy, but his attention was focused wholly on Pyrodeus. His gaze scrutinized the God of Fire, trying to figure out whether this was some elaborate trick.
After a few moments, he gave up, stepping slowly away from the table, looking at both 'officers' as he angrily sheathed his sword. He walked over to the wall with the chest, and leaned against it, his arms crossed before him. Then, his gaze fixed upon the girl, and his agitation seemed to fade somewhat, replaced with a sort of regret. He had to hope Pyrodeus had some sort of plan. Beyond that, it seemed very clear there was little else he could do.[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana looked at Pyrodeus, concern apparent in her face. She stopped firing her eye beams, and let her hand return to her side. "Are you sure?" she timidly asked Pyrodeus.[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis' energy flow ebbed, then stopped, his hand returning from within his bracer. "Yeah, I don't know about this. I mean, we don't know what they're gonna do to her."[/glow]

[glow=red,2,500]Pyrodeus glared at Visignis, then Viviana, a quiet anger evident in his eyes. "I will not have bloodshed in my Forge," he assured them, quietly but menacingly.
He looked at the large man, then at the smaller one. "Take her and go. Quickly. Your very presence in this blessed place offends me."[/glow]

[glow=blue,3,000]Cryodivus looked at the large man, then frowned, returning to normal as his body 'thawed'.[/glow] [glow=blue,2,500]"They're not taking the seal," he said, turning and walking toward the table. He promptly grabbed the seal from where it lay on Leyra's chest, and held it in his hand.[/glow]

"You have made a wise choice. A battle here would have been an unnecessary waste of the extremely unique life on this planet. don't worry there is much we would like to learn from her before we decide what must be done. You are a great leader, man of fire."
*Bruno walks over, taking a glance at the seal. He grabbed Leyra with one hand, The gauntlet of the suit almost fitting around her entire torso, and lifted her to his shoulder. He glanced to Tobias.*
"Tobias Excellent work with Jay and the Kuryr. I'm sure you will be recognized for it. you are free to explore as you wish until you get further instructions or return. it is up to you."
*Bruno turned around a started to walk. A portal appeared in the air in front of him and he walked through it with the girl on his shoulder. The portal closed about a second and a half after he walked through it.*

Tobias' fingers instantly loosened their tension, the gun falling from its position. He slung the weapon back over his shoulder as Bruno took the woman and vanished. "I apologize for my intrusion," he commented, looking at the blazing one who'd granted them their bounty, "Truth be told, I did not want to be here today. I was supposed to be on vacation." He thought for a moment, opening a portal behind himself. "I suppose I'll be out of your hair then." With that, he stepped backward, through the ripple, and vanished just before it closed itself. If he was given free reign, then he was going to take the rest of his vacation.

[glow=red,2,500]Pyrodeus sighed. "I can't believe those filthy monsters came into my Forge, threatening violence!" Pyrodeus roared, heaving the now-empty table against a wall. The table flew between Visignis and Viviana, slamming against the wall with a metallic clang and knocking a few weapons off the wall before falling to the floor.
He grabbed a large ruby, and stalked into the forge itself. "No more," he said. "I'm going to protect this place against intrusive teleporting," he growled before starting to work.[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,500]Cryodivus sighed. "Don't worry about him," he told the group. "That forge has a soothing effect on him. It's probably being able to beat stuff with a hammer."
He looked at Taelyrn. "Good job," he said. "That transfer wouldn't have worked half as well as it did if she wasn't the one meant for the seal." He looked at the seal, his eyes glowing blue. "I'd say she now possesses about one-fifth of Nocticertus' power."
"What if you can't block their portals from getting in here with your little artifact?" Cryodivus shouted into the forge door.[/glow]
