Hide-out [mission/ Anniken]
Sept 22, 2019 18:49:43 GMT
They were in an incredibly tight spot. Nowhere was better, inside this sphere of divinity was a killing machine who could probably disintegrate Sovereign in an instant if it wanted to. On the outside of the sphere was something so evil that Sovereign thinks he'll never be able to sleep properly again. Everywhere was a kill zone, and they were doing everything they could to stay alive. "Zinnia if you don't fucking do it I will." Sovereign spat, his true colours beginning to show. He made it through the world taking no chances, not wasting any time and doing what had to be done. It's how he was still standing today, he did the things other's didn't want to do. Although the sister wore a mask, he could tell she was holding back the tears, and holding back Dahlia. She had her hand on the effigy, trying to keep her back. Surrounding it were more and more wisps of light which were gathering, but it was too concentrated and small to fill up the cavern. All it wanted to do was defend itself, and her sister.
"Dahlia only produces light when its directly attacked. So fucking get to it." Sovereign was practically growling at her, his usually wicked smile now a furious contortion of gritted teeth. While they were arguing, the darkness around them continued to roar. There were holes forming in the makeshift sphere, small strands of black energy beginning to seep through and squirming their way towards them. Although it was as slow as a snails pace, it was still getting in.

Hide-out [mission/ Anniken]
Sept 26, 2019 20:22:53 GMT
It reminded her a lot of herself.
Anniken, that is. She thought she was the only person in the world who understood sacrifices needed to be made for survival. That to come to a greater resolution, bad things sometimes needed to be done. If one wanted to make a settlement full of cutthroats get the message and bend the knee to a lucrative cause, all one needed to do was bash a head in front of them while they were all tied up.
”That’s right. Ain’t that the fuckin’ truth…” The Godfather started, grinding her teeth together. A greater sense of urgency arose within her while the darkness began penetrating the barrier, she raised around them. It was progressive, but she doubted she could keep this up.
”Even if you gotta swallow shit to do it, you gotta get the shit done. If it means survivin’ if it means puttin’ food in mouths, you gotta do the right thing regardless of how you feel. If the murderer killin’ people and stealin’ stock got a kid, you still gotta take him out regardless of how you FEEL or everyone is gonna do the same shit, break the rules and get everyone killed! Leniency. Exceptions. What a crock of shit. I tried to give you one chance to do the right thing, for once, to think of others than just you.”
Her brow furrowed, and she transferred attention from the sisters to Sovereign.
”Do it, Sov.”

Hide-out [mission/ Anniken]

Sovereign was seeing this from a survival point of view. He had no past ties to these people, no emotions attached to them. They were just tools for his survival at this moment in time, but for Anniken, they were clearly people she once cared about, maybe still does. Sovereign wasn't sure, but his patience was running thin, and being patient was usually one of his most favoured traits. Zinnia was on her knees at this point, unable to really do anything apart from cry beneath her golden mask. The effigy was growing restless, but seemed more concentrated on its distressed sister. Attention had shifted away from wanting to attack Sovereign, and instead to trying to soothe her sister. "Pathetic, how is it your dead sister is the one still trying to soothe you." He turned his nose up at them both, disgusted by this twisted display of kindness. Nodding at Anniken's command, he wouldn't hesitate one bit. He felt nothing when killing, he could switch his mind off to those kinds of things in an instant. If he didn't want to think about it, he wouldn't, it made life easier that way. Black energy shot out from his body in the form of a humanoid figure, composed completely of darkness as it sliced through the effigy like butter. Piercing the metals and other strange materials, it would shatter the effigy's mask, or face, the pieces crumbled to the ground. It would only take an instant. He was not heartless, he wanted to make it quick, just in case Dahlia still felt pain somehow. Zinnia started crying more, unable to look as the strange totem of her dead sister crashed to the ground, the hum it created came to a silence, and light began to seep out like ink in water. "Finally." Sovereign said in relief, the wisps of gold spreading out like a network of spiderwebs through the air. The pure essence that he could only assume was the residue of Zinnia's magic, it was fighting back the darkness, pushing it away.

Words might have been harsh, but he was right.
Anniken surprised herself. Often lacking in the patience department, she sought the quickest, most brutal and efficient way to avoid disaster. Though she had no intentions to assume a criminal lifestyle, she had no problem with doing what had to be done. She did not care that Zinnia was crying all over the floor. If the Godfather perished there, many others would starve to death and an entire settlement would be in jeopardy. It might have been on a bigger scope than that, in her opinion, for she was uniting the world under a single banner before it expired to the elements with everyone on their own.
But now, she had no more room for patience. If Sovereign refrained from doing it, she intended to drop the barrier and use her speed to smash the effigy to itty-bitty chunks of gore and whatever else comprised its creepy form. In stopping herself from doing what was needed, she proved to everyone how useless and weak she was. For that reason, she knew she never belonged in Odin’s Spear in the first place. If one could not do what it took, then they were not material for their ranks. She supposed that was why the cowards ran in the first place.
Everyone seemed to forget that she was the girl with the bat.
Saving her the trouble, onyx energy jettisoned from the man’s body. Reminding her of Cheshire’s Magic, it carved through the entity with precision. No need for a drawn out “death,” if one could call it that. Maybe the delusional wreck on the ground would, even if all that formerly stood before them was shreds of Magic in a flamboyant jar.
If the sister tried anything, unlikely as it was, she fully intended to punch a hole in her. Delayed retribution for her blatant treason and any attempts on the Godfather’s life. To be honest, even allowing her to point that gun at her earlier was too much leniency.
”Aye. We ought to get the fuck outta Dodge while it’s distracted,” she said, maintaining her own light even as she spoke. Beads of sweat began to roll down her forehead behind the mask in greater number. ”If this ain’t enough, at least it’ll be enough to distract the fucker ‘till we gain distance.”

Hide-out [mission/ Anniken]

"That's good enough for me!" Sovereign shouted, his energy starting to liven up again as he saw a glimmer of freedom from this mine. He knew for sure that he was never coming back here, or anything remotely underground for that matter. "Zinnia, come on."His voice was devoid of any emotion of sympathy for her, Sovereign knew that if it was his brother, he'd do the same. All he saw in this woman was weakness, a shattered soul and no hope. But the woman still sobbed, where was the ferocity she once had when she single-handedly attacked an entire town? Bending down, he'd grab her firmly around the arm and tug at her slightly. She resisted somewhat, reaching out for the remains of her sister. "No time for this, just run!" The light that seeped out of the effigy was already beginning to evaporate into nothing. If they had to run, it was now. he felt like a maniac, preparing to run into the abyss that was all around them. But it was their only chance, they had to go now while the light of Dahlia's soul still lit up the cave like a flare. "Anniken, we need to move now." With that, he'd begin his escape. He didn't remember the way out, but if he kept moving, he was certain he'd escape somehow.

OOC: omfg I'm so sorry for the wait, i legit did not know it was my post. didn't show up in participated x.x
--
Justice, help out!
The fuck? Why?
Psychic shit!
Oh for…
With little choice in the matter as she was thrown back in control of the body, Justice looked at the interaction between Sovereign and Zinnia. Harsh as it was, it needed to be done. Hell, she was uncertain if bringing her along at all would be more than just hauling around deadweight—the man was being generous in her opinion. Especially when she seemed to resist at first and be more interested in playing with the fragments of what sort of was her sister.
The light served as a good distraction, and the woman nodded in affirmation when Sovereign pressed the need to move. Running as fast as she could without tripping over the other two, she curbed the desire to look back in the direction of the entity. That was what she assumed it wanted, and it would be unwise if the last development was anything to go reference.
Activating her Eye, she tried to access the memories of the route the duo took into the place. She did not know how much was visible because of the interference of the abomination behind them, but she did her best to help navigate on the principle that her ability might be of some use. Assuming no additional obstacles came in their way…

Sovereign could hear the others behind him, Anniken was pretty much by his side but Zinnia was still taking quite some time. He didn't blame her for not having the energy or willpower to run and escape, so much had happened to her in such a short amount of time that it had completely broken her. But that wasn't his problem, if she slowed him down, then she'd be consumed by the darkness and hopefully buy the rest more time. "Do you know which way to go?!" He cried out to Anniken, feeling the prickling sensation on the back of his neck again, though there was still some warmth surrounding them, some kind of light. It was just enough to stop demonic interference, to allow the other guild master some kind of sight into the way out.
