Unhappy. That was a huge understatement to describe how Rage felt after Che and his measly group and managed to get away before she could even kill one of them. The dark void around her swirled in a reddish color of her anger. She let the battle between the UNS soldiers and the rebels continue for a little bit before finally deciding to release her anger upon them since her playthings had managed to escape her wrath. She whirled around, palms raised outwards to face the people around her. It called up the shadows to envelope soldiers and rebels alike, sending them to the same fate she had sent the tanks and their passengers earlier. Though, some met a much more gruesome fate as shadows ate away at their flesh. Some were beheaded or split into slices of their former bodies. When there were no more people in the vicinity, Rage lowered her arms to her side, eyes narrowing. 'You will not be so lucky to escape my wrath next time, Che Presidiomini...' The Darkness Herald thought to herself, her mind closed off from the other Heralds and empaths to block them from reading her thoughts at all. Then, Rage sank into the ground within her shadow. As her figure disappeared, so did the dark void around her, leaving the landscape barren and war torn behind her. There was hardly any evidence to suggest that a building had been there, but there was blood and body parts strewn about the area from Rage's last spell.
===
Kate kept silent as they found seats on the airplane, finding her own seat next to a window but somewhat near Che. Not quite next to him, but kept a single seat between them sitting herself with a window to her left. When Che basically exploded in frustration over their failed attempts in South America, Kate shut her eyes and scowled ever so slightly. She kept her mouth shut, listening for a bit to what Che said to Roulin. When Che had finished, Kate stayed motionless, not saying a word. She would have said something, maybe suggest that neither Che, Roulin, Thomas, or anyone else was fit to run any missions (maybe even say that she was going to take over as leader now), but peaceful and naiive little Aeon had already approached and asked Che if he would like any food. As such Kate let the Mastering Owl decline his nourishment, and stayed silent. She turned her head to stare out the window. She could feel all of the spirits of the UNS, rebels (both Owls and Humans alike) being thrown into the Eternity Realm from Rage's uncontrolled power.
Erin didn't really know why, but their escape had been a blur. Before she knew it, Erin found herself on a plane with the other Night Owls, hearing Che and Roulin arguing once again. However, the Artistic Owl really didn't feel like listening to any fighting at the moment. Before they had left that horrible battle on South America, Erin had seen the bloodshed of both Humans and Owls. It had made her sick to her stomach, both physically and figuratively speaking. She was still feeling the effects of it now as she made her way to a seat, feeling a headache start up. Though, she did her best not to let anyone else know that she wasn't feeling well at the moment. It was tough to keep her normal demeanor and mask up, but she managed alright.
On her way towards the back of the plane, Erin noticed her sister Elle in a seat of her own. Erin paused, contemplating taking the seat next to her sister for a moment or two. But it was then that she recalled their last conversation at the hotel in South America, and Erin forced herself to turn away from her sister and take a seat on her own near the back of the plane. A brief thought crossed her mind, wondering if Elle had gone through with injecting Amara and Jeannie. But Erin didn't really want to think about that, so she closed her eyes, leaned her head back against the seat, and tried to get through her headache.

Cecilia turned her head and peered over the top of her seat. As she did so, she caught a glimpse of Erin sitting by herself. The shy teal haired girl seemed saddened. Directing her jade eyes towards Elle who was sitting a few seats away, Cecilia assumed that Erin was still upset about what had transpired between the two of them. From what the Cosmic Owl could see, Elle didn't seem the least bit remorseful. Anger filled Cecilia's emotions. Was the technopath really so bent on her plan that she would really disown her sister? Her own flesh and blood? Cecilia sighed and stood up. "I'm going to go sit next to Erin for a little while," she said as she slid past Roulin and walked towards the back of the plane. Reaching Erin, she sat down next to her. "Hey," she said flashing the girl a smile, trying to remain as cheerful as humanly possible. She didn't ask her how she was holding up for Cecilia could already guess. But it seemed the girl could at least use a little bit of company right now and even though Cecilia wasn't her sister, she could at least prevent the girl from being alone.

Erin was still trying to at least catch a little nap if only for a couple of minutes to try to get rid of her headache. However, a voice from right next to her broke her from her half-trance, causing her to blink open her eyes and lift her head up from the back of the seat. Turning her head to her left, Erin found Cecilia sitting in the seat next to her. Even though she was surprised to find Cecilia sitting next to her right now, Erin still gave her a small smile in return. "Hi." she replied gently. "What brings you back here?" The artistic owl could still feel the slowly growing pounding headache, but she felt she could muddle through it so as not to worry Cecilia. "Did you need a break from Roulin for a bit?"

Aeon looked at Che and back at the cart. Continuing on, she looked at Kate. "Would you like something?" she asked the eternity OWL. Looking at the other passengers on the plane she asked everyone else would they like something as well. She hoped that at least the plane ride would be a peaceful one.
Amara was now sleep as they flew threw the air. Amara was in complete darkness as she made her way around. The echoes of her footsteps could be heard, water dripping off into the abyss.
Amara continued to walk until she soon bumped into what seemed to be a wall. As she felt around the wall itself began to glow. Stepping back Amara began to study the wall. There was a pattern that she recognized but couldn't quite make it out. Fire soon began to consume the wall and everything around Amara.
The fire soon shifted into the form of a phoenix as Amara glared into it. It was Victoria's memories. Amara began to watch images of the life of Victoria and others who had inhabited her power, Amara could even see herself. What came to a surprise was that she saw her mother in the array of images.
The phoenix yelled and engulfed Amara and everything went black. She began to hear voices as she opened her eyes. She was strapped to a table and hooded figures surrounded her. They began to chant as their eyes began to glow a teal color. Amara looked at them as a teal energy surrounded them. She looked down as she saw she was fully showing in her pregnancy as her stomach began to glow a teal color.
The physically unconcious Amara was squirming and sweating. Clinching her fist together she continued to endure the dream.
Elle looked at Erin from the corner of her eye. She was pathetic. She smiled as she could see Erin was about to fall asleep...but that pesky Cecilia was there talking to her. Erin had always been weak minded...with two other psions here Elle could take out everyone on the plane...but she would wait...patiently...very patiently...she needed to empelement the other half of her plan....Evelynn and Sebastian.

Cecilia was taken aback by Erin's words, but it was relieving to know that the shy artist could express some cheer despite what she had gone through with her sister and everything else. Cecilia's rosy pink lips twitched into an expression of amusement. "It's not like I'm up his a** all the time," she said teasingly. "I actually came to see how you were doing. You seemed a bit lonely back here and that's never a good thing." The Azure Owl felt a connection to the girl. It wasn't a romantic connection, but it was a connection nonetheless. Perhaps it was because Cecilia knew what it was like to feel alone. After all, she had been alone for fifteen years of her life before she had met Roulin and the other Owls of these groups, which had been forced to come together. Even during that short time with her ex-boyfriend, there was still that loneliness, which Cecilia had thought would have never been healed. The Cosmic Owl shook the thoughts from her head. "Um...anyways, how are you holding up?" she asked with minor concern.

Cecilia's statements and question startled Erin, but she hid it well underneath her smile. Her smile widened slightly at the first part of what Cecilia said about Roulin. "I know that you're not up his a** all the time. I'm just kidding with you about that." she said, her eyes showing a faint hint of amusement. She felt a little guilty that she had worried Cecilia enough to cause the Azure Owl to come back to sit with her and ask how she was doing. "Oh don't worry about me. I'm perfectly fine. A little exhausted from all the fighting but that's to be expected, right?" Erin replied dismissively in answer to Cecilia's question. Of course, Erin was telling a lie that she felt physically fine, as she knew that that headache was slowly but surely getting worse now. She had no idea what it stemmed from though, and there was no time to think about that while talking to Cecilia. "I should be asking how you're doing. You seemed very tired after we left the rebel base." Erin said, attempting to divert the other girl's attention away from what Erin had on her mind at the moment. She could tell that maybe Cecilia was trying to help her forget about what had happened with Elle, and Erin was grateful for that. Cecilia was a good friend, but Erin could never replace her sister with the company of someone else.

Cecilia brushed her silver bangs away from her forehead and looked at Erin once again. Her jade eyes narrowed as the Owl beside her informed her that she was just fine. Just fine? The girl looked like she was about to pass out at any moment and not just from exhaustion, but Cecilia had never been the type to pry. It both surprised and amused the COsmic Owl that Erin voiced the same concerns Cecilia had for Erin, only vice versa. "I'll be fine. Gravity just takes a lot out of me. Roulin's right. If I don't over exert myself too much, I won't have anything to worry about. Anyways, it's not as bad as what could normally happen to me if I over exert myself too much." Cecilia did not want to think about what would happen if she over-exerted herself. It had happened once before about a year ago and she vowed never again to go through that. Cecilia had a feeling that Erin missed her sister. Who could blame her? Elle was the only person Erin knew for the longest time and she was still the only person Erin was the closest too despite the fact that Elle seemed to want nothing to do with her anymore.

Kojiro, continued to nod off as he rested, never fully falling asleep. Kojiro still felt a heavy heart, but he now was able to sleep easy, soon he heard Serena's voice, he looked up to see her holding up several snacks and food, before he could say anything though, it landed on his lap, the plastic wrapping could be heard crunching as it landed, lots of cookies and chips, riddled with plenty of healthier options, but he noticed an odd lack of meat products, but it didn't bother him, he looked up to her and nodded," Thank you...." he muttered as he grabbed the dried fruit and crackers as he ate quietly. Kojiro chewed quietly as he looked down at the kitten he placed next to him, needless to say he kept it close to him as often as he could. It was still sleeping quietly. He swallowed his food and looked back to her,"...She is still sleeping...but she seemed fine...Lorna saved her afterall...just like she saved you...." He mumbled with a small smile.
Naoki looked at him with some confusion, she just plowed into him, knocked out his little brother and blamed him for her mistake...and he is offering her help?,"How strange..." she muttered, she looked at the frail brother of his over his shoulder and nodded,"I'f you want...keep in mind you offered!..." he explained, hiding any signs that could give her some vulnerability, she was no weak woman, more importantly, she was already tired of the annoying idiots giving her these last minute jobs in the first place.or some reason she kept a tight grip on the Sake as she picked up the last of her delivery. In reality she hit two birds with one stove, he didn't know what he was doing there anyway, the delivery was a rush order for a small potluck for the workers on the reconstruction. Benkei and other workers were to be taken care of for the evening for their efforts. But she figured it would be a surprise.

((TFP---Serena))
Serena smiled brightly when Kojiro accepted the food and ate a few bites. He was being awfully quiet…too quiet. Was this kid so much against bloodshed that he would become deeply depressed after fighting for his and his families’ lives? Why was he finding it so hard to just get on with what tasks lay in front of him? Ok, so maybe to Serena it was hard to comprehend, she has been making a living out of slaughtering others for a long time now so…maybe… perhaps… she needed to try to see things from his point of view. “Not going to happen” She told herself firmly as she watched Koji for a few moments. The Frozen Owl looked up at her and answered her question about the kittens’ health. “Ah, I am glad.” Serena raised one delicate eyebrow at the next part of his sentence and before laughing somewhat. “Oh, so it was Lorna that helped me out back there. Well now, I suppose I will have to thank her the next time we speak. Heh, I have no recollection of what happened after I was knocked out so hopefully she will forgive my tardiness with saying thank you. I guess I owe you an apology and a thank you as well.” She said while smiling sheepishly and rubbing the back of her slight tender head. “I am sorry for not being able to stick by you throughout all the fighting. And I thank you for helping me out in the fight and when I fell.” Saying thank you was something foreign to the woman she made it a habit not to say it often.
The silver haired woman knelt down besides the Kitten and smiled. “Ah~ look at her little pink nose! Her fur will look beautiful once it’s cleaned and brus-------Eh….Oh…” Serena blinked and stood up sharply upon realising that she had just been cooing over the bundle of white out loud. She cleared her throat and resumed a business type of air. “What I mean is….She is a nice looking creature.” Well, so much for trying to keep her love of all things cute, furry and adorable a secret. It was only in that moment that she noticed a tiny black dot on the kitten. “Eh….”She stared at it long and hard and a feeling of dread filled her stomach. “CERBERUS?!” Well, this was bad….Instead of threating for too long, she merely reached out to ‘stroke’ the kitten….scooping Cerb up in the process. “Bad dog…”

Erin was grateful that Cecilia wasn't going to push the matter any further and instead answered the question posed to her. Erin wasn't really willing to go into detail about what thoughts were running through her mind right now. Besides, she really didn't think Cecilia would really understand it anyway even if Erin explained it to her.
As the Azure Owl answered the question Erin had asked, the Artistic Owl listened politely. From what Erin could gather from Cecilia's answer, Cecilia seemed to have experienced overexerting her abilities at least once in her lifetime. Like Cecilia, Erin wasn't the type to pry into others' personal lives and preferred to let the other person approach when they wanted to talk about something personal. And she wasn't about to start doing that now to Cecilia. "Well, just be sure to keep track of how much you use your abilities then. Besides, you don't want to use them all at once and end up leaving yourself vulnerable to an attack. Also, I'm very certain that Roulin wouldn't like it if you overexerted yourself either." Erin replied giving Cecilia a gentle smile that was characteristic for the Artistic Owl.

Cecilia looked down at her pants legs as Erin spoke to her. It was nice being able to talk to someone else besides Roulin for once. Not that she didn't like talking to Roulin, but there were some things she wanted to talk about that might have been awkward to talk about with him. "Here's the thing about my abilities, I haven't reached my peak yet, they're still growing and my body can only take so much. It's why you will most likely never see me unleash all of the power I possess unless I have no other choice. It's also why I try to meditate as much as possible. Even though I have overexerted myself a few times, the meditation makes the intense pain I would usually feel less prominent." The Cosmic Owl looked up at her Artistic friend and smiled. "But lately, meditation doesn't seem to help as much as before. I want to think that it's a sign that my powers are perhaps growing again. That seems to be the only logical explanation." Cecilia sighed. Why were her powers as much of a curse as they were a blessing?

With their troops now loaded in Lucien smiled as the plane began to take off. He had taken his seat, another of the window seats, he simply wanted to look out, get a different perspective on this horrible battlefield. He stared down at the smoky ruins of the city, the endless ravage that seemed to litter across the landscape. "So pointless." He felt a mental knock on his preverbial front door. "Jeannie? How forward" He said through their mental connection, referring to her command for him to appear. He blinked once looking slightly around he saw that the mental world had constructed it through their minds. He smiled a little before he continued. "So what is it Jeannie?" He asked as he looked towards her. He wondered why the sense of privacy was needed. She wasn't a secret agent anymore her involvement in the UNS was public and aparant so he couldn't help but speculate on the reasoning for this conversation, not that he didn't like talking to her. Jeannie was indeed an interesting person, one that he felt made an excellent, she reminded him of Amara in a sense, but he would never bring that up it seemed to be bad blood between the two.
Luca sat down again, now that their moment was over he thought back on the event and couldn't help but flood with embarassment. He let out a small sigh, he wanted to say all of that sure, but he didn't want to pronounce it infront of the rest of the UNS he had to keep a professional life, but he did want Bailey in it. He looked towards Bailey and only found himself smiling, perhaps this was for the best, afterall they had never really had time to connect, now that their feelings were mutual maybe lady luck would show a little mercy on them now.

((Other - Gen/Ben))
Benkei was not a man of many obtuse reactions when it came to emotions of facial expressions. It was one of the reasons that he appeared to be intimidating on first impressions. He was much taller than the average Japanese, and his facial expressions did not vary greatly from each other. Naoki spoke to him as if she thought he was going to back down. The Shield Owl was not the type. He kept his promises and offers to help. So did his little brother who was currently still slung over Ben's shoulder. Genya kept his promises too, even if sometimes the results came out....odd.
Ben only nodded as he held some of the supplies for Naoki. He waited for Naoki to lead the way. "Where are you headed?"
-----
((NPC - Cerberus))
But but butbutbut...I wasn't going to eat the cute kitten! was what Cerberus might have said if he was human, but the hellhound was not. Cerb really actually wasn't going to eat the kitten.....yet. Then again, it was his fault for not realizing or caring that as a little black dot, he was fairly obvious on the white furred kitten. Reluctantly, Cerbs was scooped up by Serena onto her hand. He whined into Serena's head and then scooted into the Vanishing Owl's phone, settling down to whining to Serena and then Will. The response he got from Will was something along the lines of "You were the one who wanted to stay with the bunny, Cerbs. If you stayed, there would have been plenty of live meat for you."
----
((UNS - Amaya))
Amaya had followed everyone else into the plane. When she looked around, she realized that almost everyone was here, both UNS team and TNO. She even saw Itachi with Demios and a bunny rabbit. That caused her to raise an eyebrow. A bunny? She headed over to Itachi.

((Just great...I had a very detailed post and my internet browser closes.....here's the fruit of anger)) Jeannie looked at Lucien as she approached him and smiled. She had to handle this situation delicately. I just wanted to have some privacy, you know so nobody has to hear what we talk about here. Now you know that I am a telepath, and I have NEVER read your mind but I am an empath...and I've felt that your emotional pattern is a little...off. Has there been something bothering you? What do you have planned now Lucien? I'm asking as a friend, besides you need a confidant, someone who you can talk to she said to him. Do have a seat though...let's talk she said as a table and chairs appeared before them. Jeannie taking her seat, she began to pour tea for herself and Lucien.

Erin managed to keep a normal expression on her face as Cecilia responded. She kept a gentle expression on her face even though her head was pounding now. If it was for the other person's sake that she act like everything was normal, then Erin would do it. She'd rather not worry people more than they already were worried. Especially with everything else that was going on in their lives and the world. She didn't want to burden everyone else with worrying about her health and well-being on top of everything else they had on their minds. That was why Erin kept her own worries to herself all the time.
As Cecilia's explanation turned to how the azure owl kept her growing powers in check, Erin's expression became more thoughtful. "You're probably right. Just try not to let it get to you so much, and let other people know when you're tired or in pain if you overextended yourself." Erin replied, giving a slight nod and her regular smile again to agree with herself.
