>Sigh, relax, help

"Oh, thank goddess... yeah, yeah." Drew walks over to Grimdad, and waits for him to finish pulling out bullets before applying his healing magic.

>Inspect claws, observe Grimdad, offer aid

Jason looks at the claws and has an idea. Equipping them to his gauntlets, he does a few quick punches and slashes in the air before lashing them out like whips attached to his wired mechanisms. "These are pretty sweet!" He exclaimed... then saw Grimdad extracting the blades from his legs with a straight razor. "Hey Grimdad! Need a bigger knife?" Jason asked him, collapsing a shuriken and offering it to him to use.

> NO

GRIMDAD bats away the knife. "NO. YOU KIDS AND YOUR NEWGANGLED COLLAPSIBLE BLADES, MY GENERATION ONLY NEEDS A STOLEN SWORD MADE OF BEDROCK AND A STRAIGHT RAZOR!"

>Suit yourself..., Enter portal

"Alright then." Jason then walks to the nearby portal, stepping through.

While Drew and Jason rush over to Taso, overjoyed that he wasn't killed, Grimdad notices several bullets lodged in his leg which seemed to have come from earlier when he decided to shoot at the barrier. Grimdad begrudgingly digs out his straight razor and begins to dig out the bullets while calling his companions for assistance.

Drew and Jason reluctantly come over to help. While Drew waits for Grimdad to finish dislodging the bullets, Jason offers one of his collapsible shurikens to Grimdad to help him dig out the stray bullets.

Grimdad turns down Jason's offer and since he had nothing better to do, Jason proceeds to step through the portal.

>Look around, reenter portal, EVERYONE OUT NOW

Jason was transported to the Inner Sanctum. Remembering what happened with the jewel Grimdad had, Jason takes the second one out of his pocket, but doesn't use it. He remembers the rest of what happened last time, and jumps back in the portal before it can activate. "Yeah, you might want to get out now incase i just accidentally started to close the portal." Jason calls to the group, trying to get them into the portal just in case, starting with Grimdad, whom Jason assumed hadn't quite recovered yet from his wounds. Jason helped him take weight off of his injured legs by lightly 'tossing' him in the portal using his wind powers. He then started to do the same for the others, although he knew they were perfectly capable of getting out themselves. He just hoped above all else he hadn't done something incredibly stupid.

>Put Grimdad down, and everyone else

"Not the time to argue, but fine!" Jason said, setting Grimdad back down. He let go of everyone else as well, and motioned for them to go in the portal first.

Jason returns and decides to help the others get through the portal. He tries to carry them all through but decides to vote against it when Grimdad points a gun at him, daring him to continue his plan.

Jason decides to let the others go in ahead of him. Grimdad and Drew step through while the others have yet to make a move.

The white portal doesn't instantly transport you to the inner sanctum, it instantly teleports you (and anyone else who steps through) to the hub.

Just wanted to let you know that.

Now that everyone has safely stepped through the portal, they're able to safely celebrate their victory over the second guardian.

They now have two of the twelve jewels in their possession with ten more left to collect.

It was close call a few times but in the end, everyone came through in one piece.

Now...they can rest.

"Same here..." Jason flexed his muscles, the walked off. "Rest if you guys need to," He called. "I'll get the jewel to the Inner Sanctum, then wait for you there."

While Nat notices a spike in his powers...Drew, Grimdad, and Jason decide to go into the inner sanctum to deposit the jewel.

Rather than wait for the mysterious man to open a portal, Grimdad decides to use his sword to cut a hole through reality (once again) and soon, an opening appears that allows the trio to safely cross over to the other side. Before they step through however, They can hear Taso offering them words of encouragement.

Inside the inner sanctum, Jason's pocket suddenly glows before the jewel exits his pocket and floats towards the pedestal where the water guardian's lair was located. After a moment where the larger jewel glows to bright to watch, it goes from blue to clear and shortly afterward, the portal to the water guardian's lair is engulfed in a vortex and soon after, fades from existence.

With their job complete, they prepare to return to the hub via the rift. They don't notice however, the stone door that recedes into the ceiling behind them or the tentacle that emerges from the green portal that was previously hidden behind it.

Without any warning, the tentacle seizes Jason and drags him into the portal. Before anyone has a chance save him, the stone door suddenly slams shut, temporarily blocking the portal, the guardian, and an immediate chance to rescue Jason.

Drew, startled by the development, looks for the jewel to open the door.

Act 3!

Drew, overcome by the startling revelations, begins to frantically look for a way to open up the stone door before it's too late.

Meanwhile, within the portal, Jason is dragged into what looks like a forest set in perpetual night. He manages to slice through the tentacle using his shuriken and stands up to survey the rest of the area.

All around him, all he sees are trees of various sizes and shapes. The leaves seem to be an odd combination of red and green and as he looks around, leaves begin to rain down from the unseen canopy of the forest.

While Jason surveys, the area, he hears someone talking to him from somewhere in the forest.

"Kekekekekekekeee~ee! It appears as if you're more lively than I thought..."

Jason tries to pinpoint the source of the sound but it seems as if it comes from all around him.

"No matter, it just means I'll have to tenderize you a weeee~ee bit more before you're ready."

As soon as Jason hears the sentence, he suddenly hears something moving about, unseen, somewhere in the forest.

>Call out, stealth, summon

"Aww, don't want to play, eh? Afraid of getting hurt? Well then, allow me to meet you on the same terms..." Jason slowly withdraws his mask, using the iron claws to shoot off into the shadows, now playing the Guardians guessing game, with as much tact and wit as his opponent.

A short time later, a sound can be heard, a small tune played from an instrument. Jason had just summoned a swarm of bats to search for the Guardian.

Kind of a The Man Behind the Man moment, in that Jason hides behind the mask, becoming a carefree spirit, but is tactically brutal with it off. The only reason he's doing this now is because nobody else is here. He doesn't like showing this personality to others. Just a personality trait, nothing more.
