[Termina, Alternate World]

Tapping against the boat's side in his first sign of impatience, Guile narrows his eyes. "If anyone else were coming, they would have. Let us get going." For once a bit of sharpness shows in his voice, betraying the importance of this task to him.

[Termina, Alternate World]

Kid sighs, having noticed Leena wander off without saying a word a while ago. "Yer right. Let's get movin'...'Korcha', right? We've waited long enough fer the others."

She motions back at the reluctant Van. "Ya don't havta come with us if you obviously don't wanna right now, but if ya change yer mind later ya should be able to enter thru the front gate. See ya." she waves.

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Serge grinned, having fun at not having to do any real work. He stepped into the front gates and turned, waiting for the two Mystics to come along.

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Korcha pushes away from the docks and begins to row the boat. Before long they were at the bottom of the Viper Bluffs. He would nod and say. "Okay then. Feel free to break in. Or do you want my help?"

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Ozzie would slowly float up to them.

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Pip shouted, "WUN FOW YOUW WIVES MOWTAWS!"

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

"Let's go in..." And as soon as Ozzie stepped in the gate, a loud rumble was heard.

Solt & Peppor:
[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

"LET'S GET SHAKING!" shouted Peppor as he ran forward.

"WE'LL DEFEATINGLY DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES!" Solt cried.

"KETCHOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" a voice rumbled.

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Magus grinned behind his shadow giant self. They hadn't had this much fun in a long time. He just hoped that the distraction was enough to give the others time...

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Kid gets out of the boat and stands on the narrow stretch of ground, gazing up at the area ahead that they must climb. "Nice lil climb this is gonna be." she sighs.

She turns to Korcha. "The more the merrier, mate." she replies. "I'm sure there's gonna be some splendid arse kickin' ahead." she grins, cracking her knuckles.

She begins to climb up the bluff but quickly jumps back down to the ground seconds later. "Alrighty, in this paticular situation, YOU mates should go first. No free panty peeks on this climb." she says, blushing moderately and tugging at the ends of her very short skirt. "I'LL follow behind ya." she concludes, gesturing for them to start climbing.

Solt & Peppor:
[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

"S-Stop right there!" shouted Peppor.

"We're readily ready to fight here and now!" Solt said.

"KETCHOOOOP!" came the third voice.

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

"Wait a second..." Korcha begins. "I'm not going up untill everyone else has started to climb. How do I know thatCHA aren't going to steal my boat as soon as I turn around?"

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Luccia stood there impatiently, then sighed. "If no one else vill go first, den -I- vill." She turned away from the group and searched for a hand hold before starting upwards. Her skirt was long enough to both cover her and make it a difficult climb. Not to mention she was a scientest, not a mountain climber, so it'd be slow going, but they'd make it.

"Now, someone vill have to follow me. I suggest you chose quickly."

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Magus laughed at the odd looking trio. "You try to stop the powerful Magus? Stand aside puny mortals or face my wrath!"

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Kid pushes Guile up ahead. "Ya heard 'er. Get movin'."

"My business is with the panther demon inside the Manor, that's why mate. I've got no use fer yer boat." she replies with a raised eyebrow as she guides him to the cliff. "Now start climbin'. I'm gonna be right behind ya, ya can check fer yerself every step of the way."

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Guile sweatdrops and follows Luccia, not caring much if anyone chooses to follow him. His outfit isn't much easier to climb in than Luccia's is, but he seems not to notice. His pace is a bit determined and his rod, hovering by his side, seems ready to shield him since he shows no intent of stopping for any minor disturbances.

Solt & Peppor:
[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

"W-we're strong!" Peppor said.

Suddenly, Ketchop would rear back and let loose a mighty punch. In an instant, Serge would find himself unconcious.

Solt would then glow white for a moment. Soon, Serge would be fine.

"W-W-W-W-What'd you do that for?!?!" Peppor asked quite annoyed.

"It just wouldn't be fairly fair if he started out unconcious," Solt replied.

Peppor growled, then ran at Magus with his axe, only to hear...

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

"Max Defense," the great green mystic would mutter. In a moment, the heroes would find themselves glowing a light green. Peppor's blade would strike Magus, but do nothing to the wizard despite how hard he slashed. Then, Peppor would leap back to his spot.

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Magus cast a shadow blast at peppor knocking him back into Ketchop. "These are the best defense this General Viper can muster?"

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Kid scowls at the situation. "Great. Now what?" she mumbles stubbornly, rubbing her chin. It is then that a slight smirk crosses her face. She takes on a very childish look and shouts up at Guile. "Ne, ne, cape boy!" she calls up. "How's about ya lemme use yer jacket fer a sec, just till I get to the top of this thing." she grins. "Waddaya say, mate? Ya wouldn't refuse a cute, defenseless, sweet girl like me, would ya?"

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Serge turned to look at Magus in awe. WHERE was this guy when he needed him? Serge thought angrily. He then looked at Solt and Peppor, then shook his head. "No, the real challenge is inside." With that, Serge drew his swallow.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

Harle stood at a window, amused that the blue haired boy had come back. She tapped her foot, then turned around, a smile on her clown like face. "Mon Serge...you are back!" Harle walked off to "greet" them.

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Guile glances down over his shoulder. "Well, considering that I have come to aquire certain items, and I that I sense you also are here for certain items, no matter what you say.... I think I might very easily refuse you, no matter how 'sweet' or 'cute' you may be." He turns back to climbing.

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Kid glares up at Guile for a moment and then replies with an annoyed 'hmph'. "Fine, be that way." she retorts. "This is why I never liked magicians, they're all so stingy!" she mumbles aloud as she proceeds to start climbing.

She looks back over her shoulder at Korcha as she reaches a certain height. "First sign of a nose bleed, I'm gonna jump back down there 'n kick yer arse to the moons." she warns with a slightly sinister grin and a wink.

[Viper Manor Bluffs, Alternate World]

Luccia continued to make her way slowly, slipping every now and then and almost falling more than once. She wasn't made for this sort of thing. She was more than relieved when they reached the first flat spot and thankfuly sat down out of the way, huffing and puffing lightly. "I vill never make it at this rate." She commented, wiping a slender hand across her brow.
