Demios turned to Genya as he was digging for potions, "Hey Genya do you think you could whip up something that can help us take down the barriers or handle other owls?" He asked. He knew Genya was really smart, and wondered if he could figure something out, if nothing else there was also bun bun which led Demios to wonder where the little guy had gotten off to. Demios then turned to Will and was about to tell him to jump off a bridge when he stopped him, "Genya will do as he pleases, but if you insist then fine, however if you cross me then may the gods protect you from my wrath" He said. He then turned to Khalifa and shrugged "Sounds good, as long as Will is okay with it" Demios said as he turned to Will waiting for an answer.

Will leveled his gaze at Demios as Demi obstinately declared that Genya would do what he wanted. The Satan Owl pretty much knew that Genya wouldn't have been here of his own choice. The Owl must have met with ome random teleporting error to end up with Demios. "Your wrath? Hah. Nice try, Demios." He shrugged the threat off. It wasn't a threat to him. "Fine, go play with Khalifa first then."
Genya blinked. "Barriers? Oh, yes!" The Alchemist Owl immediately began to look in his bag of random stuff that he carried and would become engrossed in his own world. Unlike Lucien who could tell others to shut up as he was calculating, Genya really could become totally oblivious to other happenings.

Solaris Beauty Aeon smiled at her boyfriend. He was probably the only person on this Earth who understood her. "I'm glad you understand Moli...but I have two questions to ask you. Will you still love me when I get old and gray and you stay young? And what will you do when I die and you live forever?" she asked curiously. When he mentioned that Radiant had the same power as her, her eyes gleamed with enthusiasm. She would definitely go speak with the elderly woman, perhaps training with her would prove beneficial.
Moli watched as everyone dispersed out into various areas of Will's little Las Vegas getaway. Che had said about six minutes ago that in fifteen minutes they'd all be fighting against each other for training. Bout....damn....time thought Moli who felt that it had been too long every since he displayed any form of technical skills with his power. He was brought back down to Earth when Aeon posed a question to him that made him tilt his head.
"Heh, did Stephenie Meyer write that question for you? Please, don't even ask a question like that. You know I'll love you forever no matter what changes may take place...besides. At this rate, I won't be keeping my job forever. I don't want to live for....thousands and thousands of years....that s**t is....too much to think about you know? Hell, if we keep following my dad though, I think we all might die soon. Heh heh..." Moli assured his concerned girlfriend after taking both her hands in his. Eternity was swell, but it wasn't for him...maybe. For further assurance, the Herald placed a kiss atop her cheek lightly patted her hand. "If you don't mind me asking Aeon, what made you ask something like that? You afraid of the future now or what?"

Aeon looked into the eyes of Moli and closed hers. She normally wasn't an emotional wreck but this had been haunting her thoughts for weeks now. "I don't know who that is...but I have been thinking about it for quite some time. Normally I don't mind that you're off doing herald things because that's what you do and I've grown accustomed to it...it's just that...once this is over you'll still be a herald. I'm getting older. I'm two years older than what I was when we first met. You may not notice but I do notice, you still look the same as you did two years ago. Just think about it, when I turn 30, you'll still look like you're in your early twenties...not that I'm vein or anything....but I'm sure you'd find it weird dating or married to a fifty year old woman and you still look like you're in your 20s Moli...nevermind...just go off and train and we can talk later"

"Everything comes at a price." She said as she watched him sign the contract. She smiled a little, once the last letter on his name was finiashed the contract dissolved into a thick spray of golden powder. She looked up at the new Life Owl, after listening to his desrciption of her and the power she held. "I hold the power to grant any wish, sorceress, witch, genie, enchantress I've been called many things." She shifted her weight a little, crossing her legs oppositly now. She continued shortly after. "Limitations on my power are none existant, if someone wishes it so shall it be. As long as they can survive the consequences that follow. You are correct for your assumptions. In exchange for gaining power enough to help you stop this war both you and Lucien will lose whom ever you hold closest to your heart." She leaned forward slightly, before continuing. "I have been called cruel, for giving these magnificent gifts at such horrible costs. But nothing comes for free, the greater the wish the larger the price. You and Lucien simply asked for a great deal, so you will give up a great deal." She leapt off the ledge, standing on the ground she walked towards the door.
"Don't worry Roulin that was all I had to say, I'm sorry to say that patience wasn't somethign you were taught. It's a pity as Life you will need to be the most patient with the beings you will soon oversee." She said as she walked throguh the door leaving him to his own mannerisms. As she walked back in the room she could see that the numbers had dwindled down. Che was holding a baby but nothing else seemed off. As she walked closer she reached out running her hand gently down Aiden's cheek. She smiled feeling a warmth coming from her chest. She sat down next to Che, not for him but for Aiden, it had been a long time sense she had been a mother and she missed that feeling so much. "Che relax you're the mastering owl, you can handle a two on one fight. Unless you want some help." She said meaning herself of course, but throughout the time she was talking she never took her eyes off of Aiden.

Erin blinked upon hearing Elle suggest that they spar against each other in the next training session. The Artistic Owl stared at Elle for a moment, wondering what her sister's intention was for this sudden suggestion. Her sister couldn't already know that she'd told Roulin and Bailey about the mission? Could she? At this point, probably not. Erin had perfected her mental barriers on her mind and memories, so Elle probably wouldn't have been able to crack them to read her mind. The only way she would be able to find out was to either read her sister's mind, or confront Elle directly.
After a second, the younger twin gave her older sister a small smile. "If you insist, Elle, I will oblige." Erin didn't really want to fight her sister. At least not this soon anyway. It was only a training exercise, so it wasn't like Elle would get a clear opportunity to actually kill her. Besides, Erin remembered her sister's fighting style quite well (from their little altercation in Rome) so that she was prepared for this fight.
==
"Ugh..." Kate couldn't believe Amara was trusting Che with her child. It didn't help that Will soon told Che he'd be fighting both Sebastian and another one of the Satan Owl's companions. The eternity Owl coldn't really keep quiet much more, then, could she? "There is no way I will let Che take care of that child. Especially not during a training battle." she said aloud as she gingerly took Aiden from Che's grasp. She held the child just as she'd seen Amara and Aeon do earlier, though her skill in it wasn't nearly as advanced as either of theirs. But it would suffice to keep the baby safe. 'I cannot believe I am actually doing this... But there is absolutely no way Che Presidiomini can be trusted to care for a baby. Now I can see why he gave up Roulin and Lomoli without trying to raise them himself.' Kate thought. "If the three of you are going to be training, leave the child out of it." she scolded Che and Will, shaking her head at them as she got to her feet, still holding on to Aiden.

"I--ummm..." What seemed to be a spur of the moment soon revealed itself to be a calculated question. Aeon's response led the Herald to believe that this issue had been weighing on her mind for sometime now and the magnitude of it had him drawing a long blank. Looking down into the worried eyes of the projector, he stammered for a moment unable to reassure what he knew would happen eventually. Shaking the thought free of his mind, Moli spoke. "Yeah...this may be something we need to discuss later...I see it means a lot to you." Releasing her hands now, he began to walk over to Che who state already that he had something for the Herald bunch to do.
~~~
When Radiant returned to Will's office, Che didn't give her a glance even as she walked around him and sat between him and Kate. He knew where she'd come from and what she'd done while she was out. She kept her promise as Che knew his old friend undoubtedly would. Now the untold part of Che's grand scheme was put into place, but this time, it would come at a great, great cost to the two strongest Owls in the room. The more rational half of the elder Owl shrugged the regret of saying only that the two Owls could take it. They were a cut above the others. The more humane half was saddened that once again, Roulin his son would have to take another hit dealt by his father. When Radiant spoke up, Che looked over to her with a gaze that would reveal to anyone the man was just thinking heavily.
"Help? Heh, I don't think I'll need it actually. Besides, a fine, young woman such as yourself shouldn't be fighting such scary butlers and friends of said butlers. You still have wishes to make and more contracts to barely explain before getting people to sign them." said the Italian man jokingly. After Kate received Aiden from Che relieving the man of his temporary duty, he looked over to the Russian and cocked a brow in slight confusion. Che had fought with a baby in his arms before, maybe a few times actually, but each time was because of short notice. His bewildered expression soon became one of joy because the last thing he wanted was to return to Amara with no child in arms....that'd be a horrific sight for Che and everyone else. "But as I was Radiant..." continued the Mastering Owl, "I don't think I'll need help fighting against these two...I hope. I know Sebastian and Tai, but I've never seen the fight really. It'll be an....interesting fight. I have a feeling that many blades of many varieties may be involved. Intuition maybe?"

"Just try not to get that skull of yours split again. It didn't end well the first time, and you know how I hate to bring back the dead, it never ends well and it p****s of quite a few people." She said as she stood up, bent forward to once again play with Aiden she smiled laughing a little at the tiny baby. Her eyes drifted up to Kate, she remembered their last conversation, how badly it started and ended up leading to Kate being the only person besides Phantom alive today that knew her real name. She looked slightly away then back at Kate. "Um...Could I hold him?" She asked in a somewhat shy voice, for once her endless confidence seemed to flicker away when she was talking about Aiden, she gently moved another section of hair behind her ear, she reached up to push the glasses on her nose up, only to remember that she threw her glasses over the edge of the building when she was talking to Roulin.
As Anderson stepped out onto the training grounds he looked around. "Hello?!" He shouted to hear the echo. He smiled a little, taking a few more steps around small silver sparks flew from the ground with each and every step, the ever spontaneous Twilight Owl waited patiently for the battles to begin. He looked up, in the city of Sin the sky was always a little muggy, this meant that the luster of his power would be dulled out, smoky attacks and other clouded concepts would indeed grasp ahold of his Spatial Adaptation.

The Artistic Owl stayed put in Will's office for a while, listening to what the conversation was like between Che and the others still in the room. After a while, Erin headed for the door and stepped out into the hallway. She wanted some time to herself to think for a bit. Maybe even search for a good training room for her and her sister to spar in. The blood manipulating Owl ignored the sounds drifting up to her from the casino floor and continued down the hall. She had no desire to participate in the gambling world anyway. Also, she needed some time to think about what she was going to do now that she had told Roulin and Bailey about her sister's plans.
===
"Sure. Go right ahead." Kate replied dismissively as she handed Aiden to Radiant. As long as it wasn't the absentminded Che holding onto the child, Kate was fine with it. And as long as Radiant had no intention of hurting the child, then she was alright with Radiant holding Aiden. After all, Aiden wasn't her son anyway.
===
When the discussion session ended, Anya sat herself down in a chair next to Nikolai. It seemed that the Dancing Owl was now lost in thought, or annoyed with something, or both. So Anya didn't say anything to Nik to grab his attention. After all, she had some thinking to do. What the hell was Che thinking anyway? Keeping her, Cecilia, and Moli 'hostage' for no reason and not giving them anything to do. A few whispers in her mind alerted her to some of the earth;s voices making comments about what was going on and such. She frowned slightly, rubbing her forehead with her left hand and letting out a light sigh. 'Shut up, guys. This has nothing to do with you...' she thought back at the voices. Though, this only kept them quiet for a split second before they started asking questions again, to Anya's annoyance.

Tai could not believe the chaos he had been dragged through in a matter of hours, from bell hop to waiter to bartender the second that someone would have tried leaving their meeting, He would have no problem crushing their heads between his fists, so being a guard did not bother him as much. Tai looked over at Che, "...Sell this stuff?"...quite frankly, he was amazed the Owl was still breathing...if not having cut at least 5 years off his lifespan in the long run, sure...there was ginger and cinnamon to give it some kick, but the true ingredients were best kept a mystery,"....Hell, I'm amazed Will requested it...but then again...he can stomach the Butler's dishes...so a cup of that stuff is probably not that bad..." Tai's alcoholic specialty surprisingly enough was a Special Bloody Mary, a spicy blend of ingredients that is pleasing to the daring taste buds, but can put you on the floor quicker than any mixed drink...himself being one of its common victims...but this was no time to think about such things, there was still work to do...unfortunately.
However in a matter of only a few words, Tai's misery had payed off,"...Fight him?...Che?" Tai grinned, "...I get to play with that guy the master fawns over and the Butler would not shut up about...my, my....this just got a little interesting....and I get to hit him!..." Tai studied the Mastering Owl for a moment,"...Although...the butler alone would be a handful against him...a Two on One fight? Either there actually IS something to this Owl...or the Master has plans to punish him with this kind of abuse....in any case....taking us is way out of his league!...I'll enjoy this...no matter how it ends..." he thought to himself as he began cracking his knuckles, "...I guess I'll have to play nice..." he muttered, looking over at Sebastian, sure he was going to lecture him on not killing his new target, considering the butler was aware of his habits.
Kojiro looked at her,"Rikka?....well...as long as you took care of her...I could forgive you" he muttered, deep down he may consider following Serena, but not at the moment, Kojiro thought about it when she said not to get clingy, it was a fatal flaw of his, and he tried to deny it even to himself, but in the end he always felt alone he would never last long. Kojiro looked at her with a gentle smile,"...I will not die that easily..I will try to be as strong as I can...I made a promise to a friend of mine a while ago...I would not stop fighting if he wouldn't" he explained simply. Kojiro listened patiently as Serena began playing the piano, The notes were all blending together peacefully in the room, as she played Kojiro listened to he question, unfortunately he could not read what she as getting at, Kojiro watched her hands as they lightly pressed the keys,"...Serena....After everything you have done....I would never be able to be at peace I didn't forgive you...we all have to make choices...you will have your intentions...and the reason you did what you had to...I just hope it was for the right reasons..." he explained quietly.

Che's son Moli appeared next to him and it surprised the man at how silently he approached. Possibly, due to the noise of the room, he didn't hear Moli approach. His latent sleepiness did make him reconsider though. After the blonde kid came to his side awaiting orders like the Owl soldier he was, Che looked over to Radiant and grinned a silly, but apologetic grin. "Heh...I...am sorry about that. That was one of the things I didn't think I'd have to do to get this far...you know, die. Heh, Kate there isn't too happy about it either." The Mastering Owl folded his arms behind his head and tried to relax the best way he could. Opening one eye to Kate after mentioning her, he decided prod the situation he was still in with her. "When I was brought back to life, I apparently broke Kate's little Eternity Gate. I promised her I'd fix it when this was over. Sadly Radiant, I don't think she'd be here with me if her gate wasn't broken. What do you think? Hehehehe..."
The frizzy haired man's attention then sat upon Sebastian the butler and Tai the...Tai. They both seemed rather off-putting from their appearances, but from history with them, Che knew what they could do. Sebastian's abilities though eluded his memory. That alone would make the opening moments of their upcoming fight all the more juicy. Thinking it all over to himself now, the Satan Owl's student sat forward, his hands laced between his knees and his mind on the moment. More than enough minutes had passed thought the elder Owl and now it was time to get things rolling again.
"Guys!" shouted the leader of the operation from the sofa in front of Will's desk. "Quick, everyone with the exception of the Heralds and Anderson, tell me who's fighting who!"

After the meeting, a few of the others had left to go in search of their rooms while some decided to break off into little groups. Bailey remained in the background as a few of them cooed over the small baby named Aiden. He was quite adorable with his chubby little cheeks and his baby babble that could warm the heart of even the coldest person. She wanted to hold him, but because he already had a few people exclaiming over him, she remained in the background watching in silence. When Che asked who was training with who, Bailey assumed that she would be sparring with Roulin. "Um...I think my partner's Roulin," she said in a quiet tone of voice, shifting her weight uncomfortably from one foot to the next.

Radiant craddled the child in her arms, she smiled rocking him back and forth gently, she ran her fingers over the small tufts of hair that marked his head. "He's beautiful." She said quietly. She started to walk out of the room, a part of her still wanted to see the fighting, but she wouldn't be in the arena she would merely be observing from a camera or an observation deck. As she walked she looked down at the tiny person, the tiny warm body filled her with memories of when she had her own child. She felt tears begin to fill her eyes. She immediately took a corner to get out of sight, she had an image to uphold, crying because of some former sentimental maternity urges wasn't like her at all.
Lucien's body slowly formed in a swirl of mist, as his body reformed he stood near some of the gathering others, looking up at Che who had asked how they were all doing this Lucien replied. "Amara is my fighting partner." Simple as that. Sibal of course said nothing, he just remained at his spot on the wall, Lucien wondered if he would be fighting someone or if he was just going to stand in that spot until they came back.
Luca looked around he didn't really know what to do. "I don't have a partner for this little fiasco." He said with a small laugh. He walked towards the others, his metallic arm now fully visible in the tanktop that he was wearing. "If there is anyone who hasn't found someone to fight yet I'm ready to go." He said with a smile as he scratched the back of his white haired head.

((NPC---Seb)
While the new arrivals chatted about what needed to be done with the problem at hand, Sebastian merely lingered handing out various refreshments. The topic about where the guests will be sleeping was easily solved as all were welcomed to stay in the very building they now stood in. While most of the rooms were already in use the butler knew only too well that those rooms will soon be empty…for the previous occupants were to become part of the tournament that was due to take place at midnight, a game which none will walk away from. Either way, he had already sent messages to a few cleaners to have the rooms readied for their new occupants.
The heated debate did not hold Sebastian’s interest for very long. His dark red eyes scanned those gathered with mild interest. He knew a little bit about some of the people in the office but others remained a complete mystery. Their powers, ages, and names…Seb played with the idea of finding out about them by watching their sparring matches…that was until Will mentioned his name. Glancing towards the blonde Satan Owl Sebastian felt his lips twitch into a small smirk.
“Fight him….Of course…” The dark haired butler bowed lowly in his way of accepting the order and when he straightened up he stared towards Tai. The younger male was grinning already and cracking his knuckles. Seb took that action as a sign of confidence…Tai clearly knew neither who Che was nor what the man was capable of. Once again Sebastian was smiling. A twisted enjoyment for Tai’s lack of experience but willingness to learn always had the butler grinning in some way. When Tai mentioned that he would have to play nice Seb merely shook his head “Why don’t you play a way you can enjoy? Che can handle it…” Working with another person was not hard for Sebastian to do. For a tall creepy person he still had a nice set of people skills…It is only a shame that his appearance and aura often had people fleeing or too scared to eat or drink anything he made. Che was a prime example of that…
The butler glanced over to where Che was and bowed his head. “When you are ready Che...” Sebastian knew that all this sparing was to sharpen the Owls skills in combat and control. No point in playing it too easy… “It has been a long time since I last had a decent fight…I do hope he does not disappoint…” If the room was not full of people Sebastian may have laughed out loud. Still, he was not about to underestimate his target…and seeing who his target was…. “Ah…I hope I am not too rusty…”

Demios glared at Will for a moment before shaking his head "watch your self demon" he whispered to himself. He then turned to Khalifa "So you get to be my first match, I warn you I don't plan to hold back" He said. He then move to an easier space for the two of them. It seemed like there would be a lot of sparring going on, so it seemed they might have to be aware of more than each other. "I hope you are ready Khalifa" Demios said.
