Dante's fingers folded gently. he smiled a little. " Where will this game of lives take us next? I wonder who will win this move. Us, The UNS? Or the Phoenixes? Or perhaps the Heralds will suprise us. " He watched out of the corner of his eye as Anderson's body formed from mist. " Ah I was wondering what happened to you. "
Adam watched as the shield was manifested. He didn't have to move from the fire as his black hole grew in size so did it's suction enough so to suck away the kinetic energy which made flames possible. He lowered his hands again as the gravity continued to multiply, the house began to crack and crumble, the good thing about being a herald was you were the absolute best in your element, no one could conquer his gravity powers.

Armand had fallen asleep and unintentionally let out a soft snore, clearly audible to Anya since he was sitting close by to her. Unfortunately, he slumped over and fell on her too.
-----
~Oh, Tom, do not hasten to bid me adieu…but remember the Red River Valley….~ Will mockingly sang back to Tom before the connection closed. Why would Thomas tell him something that Will would know? Goddamn it. Because he wanted Will to do something. Will wasn’t the type to sit around. Thomas knew that. The conversation left Will annoyed and a bitter aftertaste in his mouth. …sh*t. How could I lose my composure like that… I spoke too much. It was becoming a weakness for him… the mention of Che. It annoyed him that by contacting Noel or Dante, it was probably exactly what Thomas wanted him to do. Will knew what the man was doing, so he really shouldn’t have reacted as much as he did. Damn. Mind games were Will’s expertise, and he was now in one where he couldn’t find a good solution off the top of his head. The hell with it.
~Dante. It's Will. We need to talk.~
((Edit: This is my last post for tonight....or not. sweatdrop ))

Dante's head slightly nudged as Will's message was recieved. " Will? How unexpected. To what do I owe the honor to speak to my predecessor like this? Come to leave a cryptic message? Perhaps devise some devious plan to delude my team with mind games? Or is there something important you wish to discuss? " His voice made it clear that the first few suggestions were jokes, the one that remained serious was his last comment. " Sp what does the Satan Owl want from me, the Tattered Owl? "

Anya scowled slightly when she heard the light snore from Armand, who was seated next to her. She turned to give him a piece of her mind (meaning, smacking him over the head with her hand) when he suddenly slumped over and fell on her. Grimacing in annoyance, Anya smacked the sleeping scientist on the head to wake him up. "Get offa me, you idiot!"

L let a wide grin cover his face. He slowly slipped one side of his headphones over his left ear and left the other clear. "Right right...lets be on our way then...umm" He rubbed his head some looking rather confused. "And where was that exactly again..." He turned to Sydney, slouching over and shoving his hands in his pockets. "Ya know...its a real pain that we have to dig this thing up again..." Despite his just moments before care-free cluelessness his voice gave off just a slight tinge of regret. Just needing the pistol again was way to much like the previouse Nol era.

((Alright, last post for real.))
Armand was dreaming of a green meadow and some kid's birthday party when suddenly the clouds in teh dream darkened and the large head of Anya screaming at him suddenly appeared yelling at him to get off of her. Armand jolted awake to find himself somehow on top of Anya. "What? Huh? Oh, hi, Anya..." He blinked. It took him a moment to realize what happened. "Ah... sorry, Anya. I thought I heard you yelling at me in the dream..."
--------------
~I do so hope you are doing well, Dante.~ After a brief pause, Will added, ~And I suppose, Noel as well.~ There was no longer any sarcasm in the Satan Owl's voice from this point on. ~We have a situation, though I'm sure you've already been aware of that to some extent. Yes, this business of Thomas killing off the Heralds and ...well, I'm sure you know what that means... ~ Will sighed. Clearly, the problem didn't stop there, and Dante would be able to tell from the tone of Will's voice.

Any normal person would have sighed in mild exasperation at L's forgetfulness. But Sydney was not a normal person. She was able to hide emotion expertly. Instead of sighing, the blind Herald simply turned from the Light Elemental. "We are going to search the Asian continent, remember?" she asked him simply. He had been the one actually to pick the destination.
===
Anya scowled at Armand. She clearly did not care that he had fallen asleep and she had rudely awakened him. She was mad because he had fallen over onto her in his sleep and because it was mainly his fault that she hadn't called Owen back yet. "If you're gonna fall asleep, find another seat." she replied flatly, crossing her arms and looking away from Armand.

Dante sighed lightly knowing that Will wouldn't hear that. " I understand. I knew he had resurfaced from his pit but I wasn't aware he planned to kill the Heralds, well that just won't do. " He said after listening to the Satan Owls remarkably sarcasm free speech. " So what do we do? We both know well that Thomas isn't someone we can just take lightly. Not to mention he is the leader of the UNS, he gives orders to Lucien and his entire team, we can't just ignore them. Although they are unpolished their skills are undeniable. " He said softly. " I can't believe how wrong everything went......All this time there was a second black king on the board as we didn't even know it, very clever.......So Will just out of curiosity why tell me this? Are you not a member of the UNS and therefore trying to kill my team and I? "

L let out a long sigh and rubbed the back of his head. "Ya i remember now...you knooow it wouldn't hurt to have some personality some time Sydney. Keepssss living so long...interestaing." The light element knew he would not have to wait for her. She'd just rise from his shadow or someone else's. With another sigh he dug through his pocket to chose a song eventually coming to one he felt would get his spirits back up. "Well off we go then..." With a small flash he dissappeared, stopping once he was floating over the asian continent.(Song- Hira Hira: by Funkist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJDD450HU-U )

Sydney simply ignored L's comment about having some personality once in a while. He should know, just like the rest of the Heralds, of the dangers of her letting her emotions run wild. When the Light Elemental disappeared, Syd soon followed after him, using a piece of his shadow again to emerge behind him. "You should know well what happens if I were to use any sort of 'personality'... she voiced aloud as soon as she began floating next to L. She just wanted to make sure he understood what he was suggesting.
With that, Sydney began floating over the Asian continent, somewhere over Mongolia. She was thinking about where to begin their search.

L tilted his head to the side some looking half off in thought. "Yes, yes...i remember. Just makeing sure it was still somewhere in there beneath all the restraint." He added another smile before a strange glow began to emit from his eyes. L didnt expect the pistol to be out in plain sight but with his vision he perhaps get an idea of where to start.

"Arghhh...." Roulin was beginning to feel the force of gravity weighing down on him, but it wasn't as strong as it should've been. The house's structure was breaking down around them and so was the power-dampening field. "Goddamn it. I'm almost done you guys....just a few more moments and we'll be in Washington..." Roulin closed his eyes and once they shut, he could no longer lift them. It wasn't because he was focused though. It was the gravity around them all.

Demios turned to look at his friends and frowned. He too was feeling the forces of gravity, but he was doing his best to stand. "Roulin! everyone please don't give up we can do this" He said. He fell to his knee's. "Heaven's light shine bright and end this fight" He said. Suddenly the house emitted a bright light. He was hoping for a distraction. "Roaring waters and engulfing waves hear my cry and bring your wrath from the sky" He said. Suddenly a large wave flooded from the house. He looked at his friends "Please don't give up" He said. He closed his eyes trying to focus on projecting himself through the house "Who are you and why are you here" He said. The house amplified his voice so that Adam could hear him.

"I'm sorry, seems like my head is out of it" she told him with a smile. "Well I'm ready when you are" she told her electromagnetic partner.
Amara had continued to look out the window when her head began to pound. Establishing a psychic link, she could hear the whole conversation between Thomas and Will. So it was Thomas who had killed Che and Paine. She would not interfere. So he was the threat...and they were nothing but pawns....when the link was cut off, she stood up and walked towards Lucien. She wouldn't mentiong anything that she heard to anyone...things like this was best to keep to herself. Sitting across from him she smiled. "Hey, are you doing alright?" she asked him. "I'm going to teach you about the astral plane now if you're interested...I suggest you take this offer" she told him.

It wasn’t too long of a flight from Miami to Washington DC, but it felt like eons, and maybe that’s why Armand had fallen asleep. He raised an eyebrow and glanced around. Clearly, he wasn’t the only one sleeping. Then again, no one else seemed to be falling on top of anyone else besides him. Some people looked like they were sprawled over several seats comfortably. “Well, I’m awake now. I don’t think sleeping people can play musical chairs unless they sleepwalk, Anya.” A light bulb appeared in Armand's mind. Musical chairs… sleepwalking… He grinned. ” Did you sleep at all?”
------
A small smile formed on Will’s face at the reference to chess pieces. The smile left quickly. Pawns. And Dante was right. That mistake from years ago, which began as a crack, was spreading wider and wider and threatening to crack the world apart. Unfortunately, it was more complicated too as the number of divergent cracks seemed to increase with current developments. Yes, thing had gone terribly wrong, but it wasn’t a time to reminisce. The past was done. The present was not. Some of the sarcasm returned to Will’s voice. ~The president of the United States is moving exactly the way Thomas wants him to. I can’t even begin to describe my love for my home country. Old Tom is planning a genocide. It was just the beginning with your brother, Che, and Felicity.~ Will paused for a moment thoughtfully, but not really. What was there to do besides act defensively and right into Thomas’s plans? ~I’ll work the UNS while I’m here. You just make sure no one on your team gets killed by the Heralds or anyone else.~ A simple plan for now, but something easier said than done. ~I believe it would be beneficial to keep in contact at this point.~ Hopefully, Dante wouldn’t ask him when he “found out” since the Satan Owl had long suspected Thomas’s motives. And then, there was the issue of how he was going to turn Lucien against Thomas because it was going to be extremely tricky.
Again, this was oddly out of character for Will. He was actually partially answering someone’s questions without leaving them completely hanging, though there were an innumerable amount of reasons he could give. Dante was still Che’s brother, and Thomas was still an a**hole that needed to be stopped more so than the Heralds. ~Oh, but of course I’ll still “try” to kill your team if you get in my way.~ Try was an understatement. Will might as well just have left out the whole word. ~Dante, I still have some sort of responsibility as the Satan Owl. Don’t you go dying on me now. It’s time to fix that mistake from hundreds of years ago before it gets worse…and unfortunately, we will have to move as he’s expected for now. We will outwit him at his own game... Oh, and do tell Noel not to get too attached to anyone, and that she’d better stay alive as well, or I’ll lock her up in that company.~ By company, he meant V.I.E., which he technically didn't run or have any obvious relations to... and there was no way in hell he would ever tell UNS about it.
