"I wouldnt do that if I were you, Ms. Tyris!":" he ran after them as they approached the mountains. "You wont find what you need, or like what you find." he added. The 2 Hikaru's had been heading towards the forbidden mountains since their failure at the Hellgate. Antonio had called upon a larger number of demons than before to escort him.

"Oh really?" The Ingrounded Hikaru continued to walk forward without letup, her tone one of mocking.

"Considering that you are the enemy. You would want us to give up. But, because you are the enemy, it would mean we would find what we are after." The Subgrounded Hikaru pondered aloud, "Because as the enemy you would just be trying to trick us. Therefore, mountains it is."

"I dont see things as friends or enemies. We are merely two groups dedicated to obtaining different results. Wouldn't you agree?" he asked.

The Subgrounded Hikaru rolled her eyes, "As long as you are in the way of me and the away out. No. Hell No."

The Ingrounded Hikaru said nothing as she led the way, but after a few seconds spoke up. "If that is the way you see it. How about a deal then?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #4 on:** June 18, 2012, 11:09:09 PM »

"Im not sure you have anything to offer me." he stated as he and his escort kept close behind.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #5 on:** June 18, 2012, 11:13:20 PM »

"Well let us see..." The Ingrounded Hikaru stopped and thought for a moment, glanced to her counterpart the Subgrounded Hikaru, then to Antonio, and then back to the ground, "If you let us leave, we could... bring you back to life when the magic returns..."

The Subgrounded Hikaru crossed her arms and sighed, mumbling "I already tried that approach..." She glanced over to Antonio anyways, waiting for his answer.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #6 on:** June 18, 2012, 11:18:21 PM »

"She already tried that... Why would i want to go into the world of the living as a nobody, when i can remain here as the General of the Unholy army?" he replied.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #7 on:** June 18, 2012, 11:22:42 PM »

"Many reasons..." The Ingrounded Hikaru frowned, "But I figured as much. Which is why I have a better offer. You can have... ..me."

The Subgrounded Hikaru looked at her counterpart like she was crazy, "What?!!"

"As you know, I can simply leave at this moment. I am not bound here like my counterpart. But then you would do god only knows what to her. However..." She held up a hand to silence what the Subgrounded Hikaru was about to argue, "If you change the orb of my counterpart so she can leave, you can change mine so I am bound here. After all, I do believe Lucifer would want the higher prize."

"Tempting... Very tempting. Why would you want to do that? Wouldnt that end up in the same situation, but with the other sticking around?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #9 on:** June 18, 2012, 11:50:43 PM »

"Because I still have magic to kick dear Lucifer's ass when he returns and would not be completely defenseless against this place. Whereas I need my counterpart to deliver a message to the both of my brothers, K2323 and Kai."

The Subgrounded Hikaru just stared at her counterpart, still confused.

"As i do remember, you were the intended target..." he pauses. "But. since you are in a much different state of existence, im not sure whether or not it would completely work on you."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2012, 12:04:55 AM »

The Ingrounded Hikaru smirked, "It would work if I allow it to work. It did not work for Lucifer before because I was testing the Ingrounded state. However if I allow it to work, I will be bound here just as she is. And it us that are trusting you in this as you could just simply bind me here and not free my counterpart..."

"Hold on..." The Subgrounded Hikaru finally spoke up, "What the hell do you mean intended target?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #12 on:** June 19, 2012, 12:15:42 AM »

"Dont you worry your pretty self about that." he told the SG Hikaru in a slightly condescending tone. "As for you..." he turned to the IG Hikaru.. "I'll take your deal... but should you pull anything, i will relay a message back to destroy her soul. Is that clear?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2012, 12:21:16 AM »

"Perfectly..." The Ingrounded Hikaru rolled her eyes, "However I need to give my counterpart the message to relay to my brothers in private. Do you happen to have a room we can go to do that without you? It is rather secret and not something I want all of Hell knowing."

The Subgrounded Hikaru glared back, but a bit fearful, "I DEMAND to know what you meant! You said before that you did not know what Lucifer's plans were. Now you say that? TELL US!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2012, 01:37:46 AM »

"You can Demand all you want, Hikaru." he snapped to her. "I dont think you need a room to relay a simple message to your brother."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2012, 02:07:49 AM »

"It is of importance that Lucifer and thus you as well cannot know..." The Ingrounded Hikaru glared, "We are of the Sage Three after all. There are many things Lucifer would want to know that I do not feel comfortable speaking of unless in private."

The Subgrounded Hikaru glared as well, "Besides..." She growled. "Again it is us doing the trusting. You could trick us but we have no way of tricking you. Just let us have some damn privacy!"

"Interesting," Radical noted, appearing behind the two Hikarus, "There are... two of you."

The mountain wind blew harshly upon the four, and he couldn't help but shiver, showing maybe just a little bit of his own vulnerability. He seemed weaker now, for some reason. Still, he stood tall none the less, one of his many green, slimy tails wrapping around his rotting, aged skin, grabbing Subgrounded!Hikaru and jerking her body around so she was facing him -- so he could feast his eyes upon her..

Queen Bright · « **Reply #17 on:** June 19, 2012, 08:16:06 PM »

"Yes..." The Subgrounded Hikaru gritted her teeth as she used the katana that she had been carrying the entire time in one hand to cut herself free. "And the both of us will be taking our leave.." She stood by her counterpart, rather closely.

"So if you could do us all a favor and change the orb. That would be great." the Ingrounded Hikaru threatened in a sarcastic manner.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #18 on:** June 19, 2012, 08:41:51 PM »

"Im not sure that can be arranged, Ms. Tyris." Antonio said as he materialized himself opposite of Lucifer. "You can try your way through the mountains, but it is futile."

K2 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 19, 2012, 09:12:47 PM »

"I'll set you free," Radical replied, "In exchange, though... I want you to tell me how to become like you."

He was glancing right at Ingrounded!Hikaru.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #20 on:** June 19, 2012, 10:54:45 PM »

"Impossible! It is not something you can beco-"

"Simple," The Ingrounded Hikaru smirked as she cut her counterpart off in speaking. "You die.Permanently."

The Subgrounded Hikaru narrowed her eyes, "Now release us..."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #21 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:17:56 AM »

"My lord, you missed a hell of a time here. You never said there'd be twins though." Antonio joked. "But..." he turned to the IG Hikaru. "All joke aside, we would like more specifics."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:29:58 AM »

"There really are no other specifics I can give..." The Ingrounded Hikaru laughed. "You die permanently. If you are chosen you will reach a state of true power... with its limits. If you are not? Well, it is permanent death."

"But I am sure one such as yourself with great power already, is surely chosen..." The Subgrounded Hikaru had caught on to what her counterpart was doing, giving as little information as possible and completely leaving out the Subgrounded state that Asura had informed her on so long ago. "However, there. You have your information. It is not a lie. Now release us!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #23 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:34:08 AM »

"You arent telling us everything... why would you after all? Im pretty sure the last thing you want to do is give the Devil that kind of power. Even if your counterpart's freedom is on the line, I know you." he narrowed his eyes. "You may not be lieing, ut you're also not telling us everything. There has to be more to it than just dying and getting chosen."

K2 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 20, 2012, 05:33:06 PM »

"Well," he said, glancing at Subgrounded!Hikaru, "Let's test this theory, shall we?"

And with that, he held up his hand, and from it, a red pulse shot up into the sky before vanishing into the clouds. Magic? No. It was hell fire. A message. He was sending a message... Somewhere.
