Star
As she approached the temple, she would notice more people reading from a holy book, reciting it in a language she does not understand. Ahead of her, a clergyman stared from the entrance of the temple, his face stony with his mouth and chin covered under a thick beard. His eyes, however, showed incredible depth.
Master Zero
"I'll tell you what, he'll see you in hell." The soldier produced a pistol and fired a shot between Master Zero's eyes, all in less than a second.
Kiko
"My name is Takeshi," said the leader of the convoy, "You can get acquainted to the rest of the people later. They've been through a lot." he looked at her curiously. "Do you have any powers?"
Toriji
Past the defenses, there were cameras everywhere, covering almost every square inch of the compound. The entrance he needed to reach was approximately two hundred feet away.
Dominic
A band of pilgrims passed by the dark alley where Dominic was, oblivious to his presence.
Damion and Kat
The merchant smiled. "I'll tell you what. I'll show you around, and in return you can help me, uh, market my goods and demonstrate what they could do. Since I'm traveling around, I think I can let you tag along." he smiled at Kat, and gave her a candy bar. "Here's something for you, free of charge. It'll keep regenerating for an hour after the first bite."
Tigerwolf
Rookie saluted, "Sir, yes, SIR!" he shouted, and headed into the mess hall. Inside, he approached the tray about to enter the over, and snatched two chickens clumsily, dropping the entire tray and falling back into a stove. He screamed in agony as his back got burned and fell down onto the floor. He got up, his suit ruined, and walked out with a pained moan.
Lucy
The man's eyes were wide open when Lucy pulled her weapon, and fell over like a wall. His towel fell off, revealing an unsavory sight. At the far side of the room, a recruit assigned for cleaning duty stared in shock. "You killed Carl!"

Star
Star approached the priest with head lowered respectfully. "Excuse me, holy sir," she greeted him, head down. "I seek your holy temple to gain the knowledge of redemption for my past."
Master Zero
As fast as the soldier had drawn the weapon and fired at such a short distance, Master Zero's white-armored hand was between his face and that of his shoulder, his forefinger and thumb pinching something metal between them. It probably took the soldier a moment to recognize the lead lump as the bullet he ha just fired.
"No, thanks," Master Zero answered flatly, tossing the bullet one direction and the soldier the other. "I'm on kind of a tight schedule. Anyone else want to try something stupid, or are you going to answer my question now?"

Dominic cursed his luck that Star had not come near the alley like he hoped. He knew it was not well laid out, but still... He shook his head from such thoughts and faded back into the wraith he was before. He watched the passing priests, copying their form and joining in their walk, wondering why it felt so familiar. (Many years and continents away, an assassin in the past sneezed.)
Dominic walked with them for some time, waiting for them to enter the temple, noticing out of the corner of his eye the pink haired one who had unintentionally foiled his plans. He thought of new ones, and made a mental reminder to one day go through with the mirror showing death prank.

(Sorry, didn't know you wanted me to go into the alleyway, Oath.)

Damion returned the merchant's smile. "That would be perfect, thanks. Oh by the way, I'm..ah, Damion. And this one," he poked the top of Katherine's head "is Kitten, ah I mean Katherine." He had thought for a moment of using an alias but decided against it. Magic was still somewhat new to him still and something for detecting lies just seemed like something any merchant would have if magic was put into the situation. 'Now I feel I'm just overthinking this whole magic thing now', he thought.
Katherine accepted the bar of candy from the man with a nod, and inspected it. She took a bite and her face lit up in amazement as the candy regenerated. "No way! It really did it. That's so cool!....Um, thank you."

Kiko bows polity and says, "Nice to meet you Takeshi. Unfortunately, besides having the stealth and balance of a cat, the only real power I have is that I can run about twice as fast as a human."
"That's......that's fine right? I've never been asked that before, Is....is that ok?"
"Playing shy and unsure should make it easier to go unnoticed......I hope. I would hate to mess up on my first mission."

[[No worries. It was a poorly laid out plan, something I think will happen often for D.]]

Toriji scratched his chin. "Really?" He looked up to the heavens as if The Strategist could hear his thoughts. This is really a waste of my skills. An imbecile could sneak past them with ease. "Oh, well." He thought silently to himself as he tried to remember a Ninpo to help him shapeshift.

*Lucy quickly turned and fired a 3 round burst at the recruit that just identified the other man she had killed as "Carl".*
*Tigerwolf looked at Rookie with the chickens and noticed the burns.*
Tigerwolf: "Rookie... "
*Tigerwolf just shook his head at Rookie for a moment.*
Tigerwolf: "Now then, I want you to slide each of yours hands inside those birds as if they were boxing gloves."

Dominic moved away from the group he was with, letting a few people pass him by as he thought of what to do. He looked up, noticing a small perch he could sit on, but was it worth it. The shape shifter moved towards it, looking for anyone worth spying on near it. There was the pink one, much to far away, and a few random people. In the end he decided it was not worth it, and ended up sitting on the bench near the building.

"Aha! Now I remember." He muttered a few seals to activate the shapeshifting Ninpo. His form doubled over onto all fours and his body began to shrink and grow fur. "Ah, there we go." He looked around through his new eyes at ankle level. He had transformed himself into a weasel, and to aviod returning naked and unarmed he kept his clothes and sword. This gave the appearance of a weasel wrapped in black bandages with a butter knife on his back. "Now let's see." He looked around for his next destination, and seeing it he scurried off toward it.

Star
The priest's expression didn't change, but he spoke softly. "The House of God is open for all who wish to pray to Him." he stepped aside, ushering Star to step inside. "Please."
Master Zero
The response came through the speakers. "The Captain will show himself once you state your identity and your purpose here."
The soldier who was thrown by Master Zero got up and grabbed a machine gun from another soldier. "Shit just got real!" he shouted, but the speaker spoke up again. "Hold your fire!"
Silence took over the ship as everybody waited for Master Zero's response.
Damion and Kat
The merchant smiled and patted Kat's head. "No problem, kid. By the way, I'm Vincent. Now, I'm heading into the Spire, which is the big tower in the center of town. Incidentally, I'm going to sell something to one of the permanent residents. I may have to use you to demonstrate, to speed things up and get going to other things." He spoke as he approached a carriage.
Kiko
Takeshi turned away. "That's fine. Your orientation will commence momentarily, once we arrive." He approached the far side of the boat and shifted his eyepatch. After a moment, the ship lurched and its surroundings warped and shifted, turning into a small, pristine lake within an island. Surrounding them was a band of Corrupted. "Takeshi, there's an emergency!" they exclaimed as Takeshi adjusted his eyepatch. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's Glinda! The Mages captured her and cast a spell! With Cecil gone, they claim they'll destroy her unless we kill you!"
Takeshi frowned, and turned to the new recruits. "Hold still." he said, and thrust his hands downward. A shockwave threw everybody off their feet and he levitated three feet off the ground and made his way to the Main Courtyard.
Toriji
Toriji found himself inside the complex, with a team of scientists completely absorbed in their current projects. Nobody noticed him.
Lucy
As the other soldier collapsed, the room was empty except for Lucy, and nobody seemed to be approaching.
Tigerwolf
Rookie shrugged and followed the orders given to him. "They're a little too greasy, Sir!" he exclaimed.
Dominic
A suspicious looking man in a full body cloak appeared out of an alley, looking jumpy and overly anxious as he made his way toward the temple.

Star
Star dipped her head in thanks to him and stepped inside as bidden, looking about the surroundings of the inside of the temple as she did so. She wasn't quite sure what to expect just yet. ________________________________________
Master Zero
"Master Zero," the android answered as his gaze went up to the speaker. "Class S Purifier Unit, Eden Military. You don't know it, so don't bother looking it up. I'm here to stop you, by peace or power, from propagating breaches of the parameters set forth by Eden in the form of the Corrupted."

The duo followed after Vincent. Damion made a note of that important looking tower's name, the Spire, and turned to look at it. "The Spire huh...Its rather impressive, looking at it here. So what's this item you'll be demonstrating on me?" He added a small laugh after that, a slight bit of nervousness starting to come over him now.

Dominic arched an eyebrow and followed him. The man seemed very jumpy, and Dominic was having far too much trouble trying to resist scaring him. The doppelganger followed him, planning on different visages with which to scare information out of the robed figure in front of him.
