(Returning with Group 1 on Level 1 of the singularity. Thankfully due to Pyrus's quick thinking on how to escape a bad situation, the group has exited out of the metal vault like room through a ventilation shaft in the ceiling.)
Pyrus: *looks back to his team as they are following him single file*. "Uh, I got us out of the room but where am I going?"
Ronin: *all the way at the back of the group with Artemis, looking at Artemis concerningly*. "Should I try and assist them?"
Artemis: *looks up at Ronin and roles her eyes*. "Do you want to?"
Ronin: *shakes his head*. "I'm not sure, they don't like me."
(Continuing through the vent shaft without any help from Ronin, Pyrus has found a metal hatch leading out of the vents. Quietly opening the hatch, Pyrus and Orcinus drop down into a clean, white, medical like facility hallway.)
Pyrus: *looks back up to his other teammates that are waiting for his signal*. "Alright, I think we're clear."
Pyre: *snickers as she drops down next to Pyrus*. "If you get us killed, I'll kill you."
Pyrus: *glares at Pyre, smiling wickedly*. "Don't make a promise that will surely backfire on you."
Hammer: *standing quietly*. "..."
Ringleader: "Sigh, can't we all just be friends? We'd get through this much easier if we could get along."
Orcinus: *cracks his knuckles*. "I'm happy to be your friend, you seem like a nice person. As for some other people.....be easier if they just die..."
Ringleader: "Well that's harsh..."
Ronin: *chuckles*. "All this conflict between one another, now I remember why I stayed away from stupid humans. Dumbasses can never get along..."
Artemis: *flicks her hair and crosses her arms as she stands beside Ronin*. "Got a point there."
Orcinus: *draws his sword and shield*. "Alright you people, we better have a nice long chat or I'm gonna flip the fùck out...."
Bucky: *stares at Orcinus with a disgusted look*. "You people? I don't like how you said that."
Orcinus: "Tsk, be offended all you want."
Ronin: *summons his lance of hellfire into his right hand*. "Let's settle our differences the old way then. I've been waiting to knock this rust off my skills."
(Before a follow up to Ronin's words can be spoken, Pyre breaks off the conflict amongst the group with a concerned and scared sudden outburst)
Pyre: *breathes deeply to calm herself after getting worked up*. "Wait.....does anyone else feel that?"
Ronin: *turns his head and looks down the long hallway of the facility*. "Indeed. He is here."
Artemis: *grabs Ronin's hand*. "..."
Pyrus: "Who is here Ronin?"
Ronin: *looks back to Pyrus*. "Orion has picked up our presence. He could be right on top of us any second now..."
Pyre: "What do we do?!"
Ronin: *smirks*. "I guess it's all up to a choice. If we run he will find us later on, if we kill him then his hunt will end and we no longer have to worry about him attacking us."
Ringleader: "That's, not cool..."
------------------------------------------------------
Choice option for everyone in Group 1. (Only people in Group 1 can vote)
Option A: Fight.
Option B: Run.
----------------------------------------------------------
(The Singularity Top, Residential Dorms. Upon Ruby's objective to try and find Michael as she searches the many rooms, Ruby has entered inside a room that appears to be distorted heavily.)
Ruby: *feels a sudden familiar pain surge in her head, forcing her down to her knees*. "Agh! No...... I thought..."
(Opening her eyes after the pain subsides, Ruby's mind has been transported into a pitch black realm where the only light can be seen from the soles around her feet. Lifting her leg off the ground, the ground underneath her moves as if she is standing on black water.)
Ruby: *takes a deep breath, relaxing*. "You aren't supposed to be relevant any more..."
Mudoon: *suddendly appears before Ruby, all that can be seen from his body is glowing black eyes filled with rage*. "...."
Ruby: *shivers in fear*. "Uh.....what do you want?"
Mudoon: *deep screeching voice, speaking quietly*. "You.......need.......me."
Ruby: *shakes her head*. "No I don't, all you want to do is kill everything. I made a choice with the divine to stop you from doing that."
Mudoon: *slowly lifts his arm and jabs Ruby in the shoulder with a long black fingernail*. "You're right, you're so wise. Rebel against Caius, bring in humans to try and help you, don't think I am not aware."
Ruby: *closes her eyes and covers her ears in pain from the sound of his voice*. "Geez, your voice sounds like a thousand souls from different creatures are trying to speak at the same time..."
Mudoon: *stares at Ruby*. "...."
Ruby: *heavily sighs*. "Ronin will succeed, I have faith in him. I'm not going to sit on the sidelines while they all fight my battles for me."
Mudoon: "You can accept and allow me to latch on to you, or don't and I will return later. Just know, the moment your friends encounter a divine within the singularity, they will get their asses kicked."
Ruby: "Caius will be aware of your presence if you return with me won't he? Your power is too great for it not to be noticed...."
Mudoon: "Your choice. It is not certain though he will feel my power, I am able to conceal myself. But if you require my help in a fight and I jump out, it's anyone's game."
Ruby: "...."
(End of Part 2)
----------------------------------------------------------
Choice option for Ruby.
Option A: Accept Mudoon's assistance and let him latch on to you, bringing him back to reality. (He will like you for this)
Option B: Deny and he may return to you later. (He will dislike this)

One on hand, fight now, won't chase us, gain camaraderie (oh so important here). On the other, we are not trained, we can not fight well and some would die, undoubtedly. But it's also fun...
