She'd land on her feet but they'd probably start to sting from being frozen in ice so long, Sophitia ran over to her and steadied her.

"That better not have woken up the beast, or else our exit will be all the more harder to do, I'm not even sure how we're going to get out of this hole," she stated, and then looked to see if she could return Kratos' sword through the hole without problem.

"Got it!" Sophitia stated as she grabbed both swords and hurled them towards the two spots Kratos pointed at, hoping they'd stick.

---------------

When the warrior of Light entered the lower caverns, finding signs of battle from Mega Man's group, some torn fabric, melted ice, blade marks, giant holes in the walls, and fallen icicles. Naturally there were various paths open for him to take, hard to determine which direction to go to find anything useful or helpful.

Cassandra just hoped they'd all be able to escape, watching her sister throw the swords with a fearful look on her face.

Cassandra ran for Kratos's outstretched hand, quickly reaching for it so he could help her up.

(Wraith, we're ready for you in Anything Goes.)

Sophitia ran up to him and reached up to grab his arm, faster grasping Cassandra's sword and shield up so they weren't left behind, putting the shield on her back while slipping the sword into her belt before grasping Kratos' wrist.

----------------

After awhile he'd take a different route from the one Mega Man's group took, and he'd find himself out in an open field, leaving an actual cave entrance, and he'd see a sort of castle within the distance, a tall tower within the center from the looks of it. The gates were huge and made of stone, but had fallen to pieces.

Wasting no time, Cassandra wrapped both arms tightly around her sister's waist, hoping Kratos would be able to lift both of them.

----------------------------------

On the way, the Warrior of Light would see a young boy flying above him, with long, messy black hair, and black eyes. He was dressed in a blue jumpsuit with white gloves and boots, with armor protecting his upper body. It was mostly white, except for brown areas over his abs and lower back, as well as portions protruding over his shoulders.

"OOPH!" Sophitia grunted but held on tightly to Kratos once Cassandra had gotten hold of her.

"Hurry and get us out," Sophitia said in a hurried tone, not wanting them to get eaten.

--------------------

The trip was a bit of a long uneventful walk, just a lot of distance as naturally he'd find the place was massive as he got closer. Once beyond the two busted gates, he'd see an empty courtyard, and tall statues of sorts, but they didn't look familiar. Ahead of him was the base of the tower with the entrance blocked, but there was a slightly busted wall nearby, acting as steps to a window he could use to get inside.

Sophitia quickly took a deep breath and pulled up hard, pulling herself forward and leg go with one arm and reached fast and gripped Kratos' shoulder, knowing they didn't have a whole lot of time to get out, her heart was pounding.

----------------

Once inside, the warrior would find he nearly sailed down past some steps, landing at the very edge of them as they spiraled up the tower. Up ahead he'd see a chain in front of him, going either from the floor to the ceiling, or visa versa.

Cassandra just held on until she knew it was safe for her to let go.

----------------------------------------

The boy looked down as he approached the tower, stopping someone going through one of the windows.

"Well, guess I don't have to worry about trying to open the door now," he said, flying down, and adjusting his course to allow himself to get through the window, landing softly near the Warrior of Light and spotting the steps and chain. He couldn't help but wonder what the chain was for.

"NOOOOOO!" Sophitia screamed as they fell down the hole below them, thinking that was the end of them.

(Wow Wraith, where on Earth did that snake come from? Seems awfully random, but I guess I'll go with it.)

Cassandra just held on for dear life, praying they'd land safely as she looked for any way she could stop or slow their descent.

------------------------------------------

The boy seemed startled as a sword was pointed at him, but regained his composure after a short while.

"My name's Gohan," he replied, "I came here to see what this tower was all about. There's something strange about it."

Sophitia grunted loudly from the impact and groaned a bit, unsure where they landed.

"I'm amazed we're even alive but...Kratos..." she said as she tried to get up and examine his neck wound.

-------------------

As the two talked something shifted in the area below them, and the chained creaked as it swayed slightly.

Cassandra tried to get out from under the two of them, to get a look at Kratos and their surroundings.

------------------------------------

Gohan looked at the chain when it creaked suddenly, and then down below. "I sense something down there," he said, "I"m not sure what, but I think it's what I felt that led me here in the first place."

(Awaiting next anything goes post. Sorta need you to post next for what happens for certain bits.)

"Of all the things to not have is a poison antidote...wait..maybe..." Sophitia paused as she started to check Kratos' person, looking in his pockets and pouches looking for anything that might be an anti venom potion to cure what's wrong with him, currently worried about what's going through his veins.

--------------

Going a little bit down the steps they'd spot a cage suspended from the ground by the single chain going up to the ceiling, within the cage was something white, and it moved to the center of the cage, making the view a bit obscured of what it was, but it didn't look hostile, or appear hostile at all, but was obviously aware they were inside the tower and near.

"I hope that's an antidote," Cassandra said, spotting the flask. She hoped they'd be able to repay the debt they owed to him for helping to save her.

-------------------------------------------

Gohan began to take a look to see how high the cage was above the ground, judging if it was safe to cut the chain or not.

"It better be, once that's done I'll see about mending his arm...if possible," Sophitia said as she took the flask carefully, and slowly opened it, and tried to tilt Kratos' head up so she could pour it down his throat.

"Kratos, I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm going to give you your antidote, please swallow it," she said, sounding worried as she held Kratos' chin gently.

----------------

The cage appeared to be just a few feet from the ground, not too far of a drop really, but the warrior of light would see a white, thin figure within the cage, and something appeared to be fluttering faintly, but the bars were many and slightly obscured a full view.

Gohan raised his hands over his head to begin gathering ki. However, when the Warrior of Light used his sword, he just looked down at the cage, lowing his hands as he tried to make sure the figure in the cage would be alright.

--------------------------------------

Cassandra was relieved, but knew they weren't out of the woods yet. She looked around, wondering where they could go now.

(Listen to just a few second of the track, around 30.)

The cage naturally fell and clattered to the ground and shook a bit from the impact, the chain was easily cut with his sword, and the cage door slowly creaked open as a figure slowly began to step out of the cage, a girl. Her skin was very pale, her hair a brown-ish color, and her clothing also white, almost as white as her skin. Her clothing was a simple white dress, with a black collar, and sleeves, that were cut short, and the skirt area went down to about her knees. Her feet were bare, as were her hands. Around the chest area her clothing had a sort of water or tear drop shape. She walked out of the cage slowly, her bare feet touching the cold stone as she looked around the area, now able to view things differently.

(

-----------------

"Now to try and get him out of here and someplace safe, help me pick him up," Sophitia said to Cassandra.

Gohan descended down to go see the girl up close.

"How long have you been here?" he asked, wondering if she'd been there for a long time.

--------------------------------------

Cassandra nodded, and put her hands under Kratos, ready to lift.

The girl watched them as they spoke and listened, but looked at them somewhat blankly before finally walking over to Gohan, and began to move down to his level a little bit.

"あなた誰？どのくらいの二人はここに来ましたか？" she spoke softly, and gently, slowly reaching for Gohan's face with her hand, and appeared to be filled with curiosity.

(Translation.)"Who are you? How did you two get here?"

-----------------------------------

"Cassandra, take up one of the regular swords to defend yourself, and hand me the flaming sword," Sophitia told her youngest sister.

Gohan seemed confused, not knowing what it was the girl had just said.

"I've never heard that language before," he said, "and I don't think she speaks ours either."

---------------------------------------

Cassandra nodded. SHe took up her own sword, and quickly passed Flamberge to her sister.

Gohan went over, and began to look he girl over, seeing if she was hurt. If she was, he did have a small bag with three senzu beans in it, but that was all they were able to get at the moment.

"え？何しているの？あなたはおかしい私を見ている..." she spoke in a soft voice again, but looked puzzled as Gohan looked her over.

English"Eh? What are you doing? You're looking at me funny..."

--------

Sophitia took the sword and began to swing it at the icicles once she was close enough to them, clearing a path for them to walk.

"Don't be alarmed," Gohan said, "I'm only seeing if you're hurt or anything."

----------------------------------

Cassandra walked quickly, keeping pace with her sister.

(Yeah, he is.)

She didn't appear to be harmed but she moved away from Gohan a little, and looked towards the Warrior of Light. She walked over to him as he gazed about, he would notice two statues that were big, and were designed to conceal a door. How they could be opened would be anyone's guess. But, she soon walked over to his side and looked at his helmet, and soon reached out and gently gripped one of the horns, examining it. Also as she did this she reached over and gently touched his face, despite the somewhat cold touch he'd feel her warmth still.

------------------------

Sakuya's eyes eventually fluttered open upon the sounds bringing her out of her sleep, as well as the smells of food. Quickly getting up she rested her hands on the sofa as she draped her legs over the side, blinking a few times as she woke up, rubbing her eyes a little with her forearm and then switching to ruffling her already rather ruffled hair. Once she was awake she stood up and parted the drapes and look at what going on.

"Is this breakfast?" she asked.

---------------

Soon she'd hear Alis approaching.

"While I didn't find anything related to myths, I did find a global atlas, it'll help us decide where to go and where we are. Jake is fetching some data from one of the computers, mostly on finding where we are currently in the world," she stated as she walked up to Larxene.

"Why don't you come inside? It'll be warmer inside for you," she added.(Sorry if Larxene is already inside.)

"あなたの頭の時にこの事は何ですか？" she said as she tried to pull his helmet off, obviously haven't seen anything like that before, and was curious to how he even had it on him.

"What is this thing upon your head?"

-----------------

"Where's Miroku?" Sakuya asked as she took the cup with the word on it and began to sip it.

"And where are we headed then? Wondering what we might be wandering through," she commented.

-----------------

"Don't know nothing about it, but I'd imagine the cold would freeze the moisture of your tongue to the pole if it's cold enough. I wouldn't try it if I were you," Alis stated as she went back into the building and didn't want to have that happen to her, ever.

---------------

"Cassandra, you're alright, right?" Sophitia asked as she continued to slash through the ice in their path and could see a tunnel down the way.

Gohan resisted the urge to laugh.

"Let's focus on getting past those statues," he said. He stepped forward a bit, and put his hands together over his head, gathering his ki to blast the statues.

"For the most part," Cassandra said, "It's just my head that hurts."

The girl soon took note of the Warrior of Light's not wanting it to be removed so she let it go and backed up a little. She noticed Gohah seemed to be doing something but then looked towards the statues he was aiming at. She then started walking towards them, getting in front of Gohan as she looked at the statues closely, and began to reach for them.

------------------------

"I'm sorry, but I can't exactly stick around to help with some sort of experiment, I need to be on my way to take care of the matter of the cold directly, not fiddle and dilly dally with the affects on things while my place is suffering," Sakuya stated firmly as she took a long drink and finished the cup.

"I thank you for providing shelter, but I must be on my way," she stated.

----------------

"Might be the amount of blood that rushed to your head, it should clear once you stay upright for awhile again," Sophitia said as she continued to make way down the tunnel.

"I don't think that beast knows of this place really, it's too big to get through the hole," she added.

Gohan wondered what she was doing, as he stopped gathering ki for the moment.

--------------------------------

"One can hope," Cassandra said, still carrying Kratos as they went.
