The city of light {Closed}

As the day went on receiving message from Elena telling him of a business needed done which sounded like a big deal compared to the minor things that he has done or been through. He might of sensed that this was a lot but it might have been to the reason that all his other assignments did not mean shit to him or that they were in the past and his new assignment was now. But what ever the reason was he did not care to much to let this slip his mind. This would be like anything other. One: get on plane, two: do job, and three do whatever the heck he wanted after.

Later on that day he was headed from the airport to China just as planned. The only problem is that since it was a big flight it would be a big plane and a lot of annoying people. Especially if there were children who liked to kick the seat he was in. He grinned in his mind and thought of something harmonious. He could easily go to were he needed since he brought a remote GPS to service in finding Elena. He could only wait to see the peoples faces when he caused the accident. He set in his seat and did what he normally did like every other trip ordering food and drinks and waiting constantly for his flight to be over. Then he would drink his drink which was probably wine or Scotch and he would eat what little food the air service could offer him. This was normal, but boring. He just wants an easier way to travel something more risky.

Later on he came in close to somewhere in the middle of China in the town he was suppose to be in. About this time Elena should already be in the meeting area. He stood up and looked at the people of the flight. He walked up to the cabin of the plane, but then he stopped grabbed the mic and said in sarcastic leers. People of flight American United 93... Your flight is now over so have a fun trip down. Everyone was puzzled as Coronel walked to the back of the plane. And now things would get excited. He raised up is hand and with a simple thought forced space around the back of the plane to rip everything from him to the very end of the plane was now destroyed sending the plane into plummet towards the Earth. He waited for his moment to jump; for if it was too soon he would be hit by the plane and it would knock him off balance. As his chance came he took it. He started a free fall like the sky divers on the TV. He did a nose dive trying to hurry himself to the ground. He was falling a lot faster than he had ever run before and to him it felt great. It was now time to stop him self,and at least he knew how. He started pushing space below him and immediately he started slowing down.

He landed on the ground in front of the door of the building Elena was in. Perfect he thought. He walked inside and as he did the plane crashed down a block away making a couple people run out to see what was going on. He laughed to himself as he walked over to Elena. Hello my fair lady said Coronel. Coronel looked outside and thought to himself that he might of went too far this time. He scratched his head as he waited for Elena to say something.

Schneider straightened his jet black tie examining himself in the bathroom mirror, the suit he was wearing was a week old and due to a goodwill organization soon, he did so love the crispness of new suits and they wore out to quickly for his taste. Leaving the lavish stall of the first floor bathroom of the Asian branch office of his company, Helcraft Pharmacueticals, after finishing his reprimandations to the current CEO. He had been siphoning out company founds for a few weeks before being detected and Schneider had decided to tie up that loose end while he was here on business for Mrs. Marie, and her newly resurrected, of which he had doubts, husband Mr. Collins. He was also supposed to be working this mission with a man known to love wanton destruction, and who knew nothing about moderation. Waving to the clerks at the front desk he pushed open the door to the city only to see a plane hurtling chaotically toward the ground, the planes tale was missing which made steering it near impossible. One glance told him his Asian branch office would be destroyed if he left it like it was, heaving a sigh he whispered,"Hero time." as a red energy temporarily flared around him. He didn't bother with full out stopping the plane he just controlled its descent, whatever passengers where on board would end up worse for wear, and some buildings would be clipped hurting more people, but with the doctors he kept staffed at his various labs in case of emergencies there close location and quick mobilization would be great PR. He led the plane down clipping nearby buildings and showering glass down on the streets, he landed the plane roughly on the streets not knowing if there where many survivors but he had to go, the meeting place was a block away and he didn't wish to be late. Leaving the scene as his staff ran out of the building to help he quickly made his way to a quaint little cafe and walked inside. "Sorry if I'm late Mrs. Marie there was a little plane trouble, but my company will be getting some good PR from it. I wonder if a bomb was onboard the tale was completely missing, lucky for them I was feeling generous. But enough of my prattle, we have business to discus do we not." He said Pulling up a chair to the table and taking in the two men he hadn't met before, it was easy to tell who was who though.

As Coronel greeted her he took his bow in front of her showing great respect. He lifted and placed his hand on the chair walking around and sitting as he pleased. He looked over to what he saw some other pawn of hers probably there to aid in protection. But even protection could be people of unowned consistencies. He looked over the place as he took in the space around him he just wonders a little how Elena got there before him, but he did not care all that much. He knew there was going to be a more high classed person there but he did not see him yet. HE was known to be rich but his pockets were not as deep as Elena's. She literally had the money to do what ever the hell she wanted to without having any cares of being arrested.

She was very beautiful, but it was interrupted by the sound of an opening door and the sound of another person walking up to their table. Yep. That must be Schneider who comes in without a word until he said something about redirecting an airplane from hitting his company that he some how owns in China. Hell he did not care if Schneider owned a company in every country does not explain why he was later than Coronel. But still like always he just started to not care after a little while. Yeah I'm pretty sure it was a bomb. I hear about those things all the time... Sorry, but no it was me I sought my chance to leave and I took it, but I'm glad that it blew up and turned into an inferno and killed everyone. Yeah there was this annoying kid running around and he was getting on my nerves. So I just went to the back of the plane and made an exit. He smiled and smirked and sometimes threw in a couple giggles on this subject. Why people don't know not even he knows himself because hes that messed up.

As Elena talked she mentioned pastries and immediate it hit him like a couple ton of bricks. I could go order some donuts. He was fixing to stand up when he told them he would be right back. Just wait this should take just a minute. I'm going to get me some donuts. As he said this the lady started shoveling different donuts into a box and he was back to his seat in a few seconds. Hmm he wondered if the service was that great because if it was they need more of these people in the U.S. Maybe Elena bought the place out, but he did not care he started eating donuts as she talked about the assignment. She talked about some island type deal in the middle of the ocean that was apparently just floating there. Oh I get what you are saying so this floating what ever is held up by MAGIC that is being transmitted by a MAGIC item powerful enough to be able to use the MAGIC in a way to keep it afloat over the water. He said trying to invasive that it was magic but if not she would correct him.

But this item what is it to you? And this Island how high up is it? Some more questions will be asked along the way I just want these answered sooner. He said trying to gather intelligence on the thing he was going after. He said he would do it no matter what, but also he said he would accept any mission he is given no matter what as well to her in the past. He looked to his left and wondered if Fancy Fuck here would be kind like he was and help her out, if not well then who needs him. Coronel was feeling confident as if he could take on the world or it might have been the donuts he just ate he kind of grasp on to a show off type of attitude when he eats one of his favorite foods. He stretched his arms, but remained seated as he continued to listen to Elena. He just couldn't believe the guy next to her was quiet like an obedient dog. Coronel does not care for animals either. The can die by his hands latter on in life as well. And he smiled happily as he dreamed of the onslaught that he could do with his eyes closed. After smiling he just went back to eating and listening like he was good for.

Schneider just shrugged at the fool that went by the name Colonel, he hadn't expected all the members of shade to be as level as Elena, and Schneider wondered whether or not she was necessarily on the level herself but he wouldn't pass up a chance for entertainment. H wished the fool would have kept his mouth shut, especially with donut bits flying out of it. He knew that Elena would address everything that needed to be addressed in this briefing, the protozoa's questions where delaying the answers themselves. He waited politely for Elena to finish her speech and stood readying himself to leave, "I look forward to working with you Mrs. Marie, and you too Mr. Collins, but is it really necessary to bring that crude creature with us?" He asked refusing to believe that that haphazard disaster causing lunatic could possibly be from the human race that he saught to perfect.

As Coronel finished listening to Elena give him a brief history of what he was suppose to do he imagined the part about what she said. Mainly it was the traps that would make this exciting. Competition here I come thinking to himself that going through prehistoric traps would be like letting candy fly into his mouth. He then started to think about candy. As Elena stood up and glared as if they were leaving he would simply follow behind her, but he too wished to hurry.

He looked outside and seen people still wondering about the crash. A persons talk could be heard from inside the place they were in. They were really spooked by the plane. Everyone thought terrorist. Coronel thought of candy still. Well he said while stretching. I don't mind working with him but how do you not believe in magic? Its unethical... He said in a thought trying to think of something to get him to believe in it.

He took his stand and looked down at Michel. He looked like a simple man trying to reach his voice to those who would listen. He didn't mind his input but he probably wont be able to be around the other one for to long if he keeps believing that he is of gentleman's standards. He turned behind him and walked to the door showing he was ready to leave. He would hold open the door and follow behind them all as they all left. With his ability he just glanced at the chair and pushed it under the table. He then brought the box of donuts to him with a simple thought of his mind.

He held his hand on the door and calmly said right this way. Going through out this I will become all of your rag dolls used to test traps. Coronel said smiling since he wanted to do the traps on his own, but maybe somewhere in this ruin it would need all their power. What he really wanted to do is fight soldiers or guardians designed to fight a preserve the sight and the key inside. As soon as he sought that the maiden Elena was brought to her chopper he would probably go on flight by himself. He would probably make it their before them too depending on the model of the chopper. Now he would just need exact coordinates.

Schneider strode out the door, not forgetting to leave pay for the donuts. Just becuase you could take something didn't mean you always had to. He thought he was being generous enough paying for the oaf's food. Mrs. Marie, Mr. Collins, if you don't mind i could fly us over to the helicopter terminal, since as you can see i didn't prepare shoes for a long walk." He said gesturing at his feet, which had penny loafers on them. "Amazing feeling they have though being made of the highest quality leather and lined in silk." He mumbled as he pulled a small mask out of his cloak.

As Coronel and the others went to the helicopter in the limousine he sometimes rolled down the window and looked outside. The guy was doing well for the amount of power he possessed and he could probably scratch Coronel if he was not paying attention. He scrambled out of the door an he floated over to the helicopter, but in his joking matter when he got to the door he was already up side down and smiling. He knew Elena was waiting for everyone to get in, but he had other plans. He seen the giant temple floating a great distance above the water.

My lady if I may go there ahead of time and scope out a landing. I will take things seriously and in doing this I can protect all of you, but since you know i cant die it would be good to send me first. He told this to Elena changing his attitude into a serious mood and turning himself to where his feet were parallel to the ground. I am not going to danger myself, but I'm also not taking no for an answer. If I cant get through then I will hold back and all of us will make an entrance. He said this and then burst of in a fine clear shot toward the temple. He knew he would get there before any helicopter so it was just a matter of time as he came up to what seemed like a garden big enough to set the helicopter in. Just a few decorations needed moving.

Using his ability he simply picked them up and moved them aside for time being. He seen the chopper on it's way and then heard a moaning sound. AND HERE'S THE FUN! He said with an amused expression on his face. As he looked at the entrance he seen what appeared to be replicas of those clay Chinese soldiers with clay weapons. He lifted his hands thinking they might be strong and sent off a powerful blast through the door destroying all of them. After that the pieces formed into one and Coronel lifted and eye brow. He questioned but knew this was magic. As the giant clay monster ran toward him he used his power in a pulling form to make him pick up speed and in a way that will send him falling off the side of the temple. He hit the water and broke apart.

So if they get too far from the temple they loose the magic. Wow that artifact is powerful. He finished off clearing the gardens of a place to land and waited for it to touch down. As it landed he used his ability to open the door to let them off. Alright there was a little problem, but it fell over and deteriorated once it got too far so were good there. Plus I made a good landing pad so right now were all set. The two, Marian and Angelica, had gotten off and crouched down away from the helicopter. It was to prevent the whole hair deal with the blades from the chopper.

Schneider thought the helicopter ride was quite quaint. He was wearing special goggles Elena had given him so that he could see through the temples barrier. He found it fascinating that such a large field could block so many people's sense and escape detection. He was quite happy the oaf had gone ahead jumping around on bubbles of distorted air. As a large statue fell past the chopper Schneider severed its head and floated it to him. "You never know this could come in handy, and if nothing else it will make a great souvenir." Upon landing he was upset to find that the buffoon had disrupted a beautiful garden full of exotic plants he had never seen. "Be careful some of these plants might have medicinal purposes, just think of the possibilities. Oh wait my bad I guess you can't think can you. Random destruction even of the guardians here is unacceptable, until we know that they serve no use break as little as possible please. Schneider said as he began picking several different samples after setting the severed clay head down.

As Coronel left the site of the helicopter he turned to the temple. Since Coronel was only making a small pad for the helicopter the only things that seemed to got destroyed was the statues and none of the flowers they wanted to pick and use for futuristic purposes. As the others were making a commotion it seemed like they were ready to go inside. Coronel made his way to the group and prepared himself.

As Elena walked up to the entrance the two people seemed to keep talking. Coronel looked out to the temple's siding and saw that it was bigger than he expected. When they go in it might be even bigger. A while ago Schneider made a cracked up phrase about him being stupid. He now was going to see how well Schneider would do if the dumb ass went first. Coronel had plenty of enough common scene to kick that guys ass there and then. He would only do it because he is asking for it and he deserved it. If he could not beat Coronel what was proving that he was smart. Just because you are smart does not mean you over power someone.

While the were stopped waiting Coronel found a couple of smooth rocks on the ground and started spinning them around him. He got more and more until it seemed like a show was being performed around him. Just a little harmless fun but he could also use these as dangerous objects and defensive objects.

Schneider floated the plant and herb samples he collected into the helicopter, and then proceeded to follow Elena through the broken doorway. Schneider slipped on the mask he was carrying and halted while the black liquid like ooze poured from it covering him then forming into a skin tight armor. "A most peculiar sensation, I doubt I'll ever get used to it." Schneider mused as his psychokinetic energy flowed from him and flowed through the walls of the complex. "Well there are few discernible dangers for a while yet, I'll place markers over the triggers to prevent any accidental tripping of easily avoidable trap and other than those there appears to be nothing of importance." He finished up, as the weird black liquid gobbed in his hand then shot of leaving small shafts over places that were to be avoided. Schneider then set off a a brisk pace calmly avoiding the marked areas until he reached a large door. "So far as i can discern there is no mechanism for opening this door that i can access, which more than likely means that a password, that I'm sure you know, Mrs. Marie is necessary for us to get through. Without carnage. He added with a side glance at Colonel. He knew Elena's associates wouldn't harm the place unless needed and Michael seemed far too grounded to cause drastic destruction.
