After aiming sufficiently so as to not hit the lummox, the sorcerous entity launched the daggers as quickly as he could towards Queen Quetzal. He also launched a couple spears at the air around her to cut off escape.

Rail City Arena

While the brawling continued in the arena, two young men climbed up onto the stage. Both were dressed in black and white tracksuits, and their faces were hidden by the colorful Day of the Dead masks they wore. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, the two masked thugs tossed one of the remaining security guards off the stage, hastily grabbed the glass container holding the Sapphire Seal, and made a run for it out of the Arena.

Uniscorn had a soft spot for animals - a fact that was helped by the fact that he could communicate with them. This didn't mean that they'd always listen but it was worth a shot.

"Hey otter dudes - I'm on your side!" Uniscorn tried to reason, still keeping both his pistols trained on them. If they didn't respond to him, he'd start going for headshots.

"Fooloish beast! We would never betray the Emperor! We pledge great loyalty to him! He is our sire!", Hamsih yelled in Otter, wrapping himself around Uniscorn.

"Fo' real, dawg! You messin' with Amazon River Otters now! We six feet long, and we go' wreck yo' shit! Amazon, represent!", Scott-William yelled, trying to take a bit at Uniscorns head.

Uniscorn was forced to crouch low to avoid Scott William's bite to his head. As he crouched, he aimed a shot at Scott William's thigh. However, he still had to deal with Hamish wrapped around him. Fortunately for him, horses tend to be stronger than otters so he started rolling on the ground, trying to shake off Hamish.

Using his Otter skills, Scott-William agilely dodged the shot, before leaping at Uniscorn again.

Since you didn't mention the other otter, I'm assuming Uniscorn shook him off.

Uniscorn saw Scott William coming at him and swung his pistol down like a club at the furry guy's head.

"Sorry little guy but you mess with a unicorn and YOU GET THE HORNS!" Uniscorn screamed.

Rail World History Museum- Showroom

Ah, now Zalyn recognized the man. Natow. One of the most powerful entities in this nation the humans called America. He had quite the reputation and even among all of the other movers and shakers in this room, he loomed over many of them. He was a slippery one, Zalyn could see. And already Zalyn knew he didn't like him one bit. Especially the way Natow so casually brushed him off. Natow had the same air around him that uppity Nobles, Magistrates, and Clerics did on Zalyn's planet. In fact he reminded him of Zalyn's uncle the Lord Minister, now Lord Regent, Delyn of Venus. The thought of his treacherous uncle made him want to grit his teeth. He suppressed his anger and the moment passed.

Zalyn noticed a server approaching him and he internally sighed in relief. Time to focus on happier thoughts. Zalyn decided he would let Zack talk to Natow. Zalyn smiled at the server, she was not unpleasant to look at for a working woman. Reminiscing about Imperial Chambermaids and Nurses he smiled at the woman and picked up a glass of the human drink, "My sincere thanks to my host." He downed the drink and it went down nicely. It was a little rougher than the spirits of the Palace but he was no stranger to hard alcohol. Kor'An took no drink as usual.

Zalyn smiled again as he continued, "I would be delighted if you could obtain some sparkling cider for me. And send your finest to those young ladies over there with my compliments." He gestured to the women who decided to play this game with him and he smiled at them again, and again a hint of light to the gesture.

Alannah did blush somewhat, looked away, then realised that probably wasn't going to fly and sheepishly waved back at the venusian prince. Oops, busted...

"Huh? Oh, uh, the same, thanks," She said to the young server, before turning back to the woman beside her. "Alannah... oh shit, he's waving again. .."

Meanwhile, Hamish pounced, aiming to wrap around Uniscorns legs.

"Aaaaagh!" Still struggling to ascend, Queen Quetzal felt a few bones in her ankle give. Almost out of instinct more than anything, she fired a spray of feathers from both legs straight at Brick House...

And in her distraction, was pierced in the same calf with a broken ankle, three little ice daggers in a neat line. She clutched at her leg an let out another horrible roar, still refusing to let go of a terrified Chad Kroeger. She sheathed her dagger, then wrenched out an ice dagger as she struggled to ascend. Just a little farther!

Above the Arena

Otto finally caught up with Quetzal and Brick House. It seemed like SW and Hamish had Uniscorn occupied, and either way, he was probably out of the guns range by now.

He looked over the situation, and he realised where the others were going wrong was in targeting Quetzal, not Kroeger. If he could grab Kroeger when Quetzal was distracted, he could get a head start in running away. He pulled into a fast dash, aiming to grab Kroeger.

abyssalCrow watched as the daggers struck home but failed to neutralize the target. He formed a floating platform of ice and hopped on to maintain a similar altitude as the target all the while forming a brace of spears and hurling them one after another towards the would-be queen.

The Church/Cemetery

After getting out of the van, Judge Isaac looked around, but didn't see anyone near where he had parked. He thought he saw a shadow under the church bell, but it might have been his imagination.

Now that he thought of it, that one guy seemed to be much taller than any person should be. That probably meant he was a dangerous citizen of some sort, and likely the leader of that large gathering.

Judge Isaac started to approach the church, wading in the grass so as not to make too much sound. He swung his shotgun this way and that, making sure nobody was watching him while occasionally looking back at his van to see if it was still there. Other than the van didn't have anything particularly valuable in it at the moment, but he would rather not have someone running off with it. He was sure he didn't leave the keys in the thing, but someone might have carjacking utilities.

He would go up to the church, using it as cover, shoot at the large man with his crossbow, and then intimidate the rest of the mob into submission. If the bullet didn't work for some reason, he would make his retreat, then drive by and blast him in the face.

Isaac wasn't sure if the mob had guns or not, but if they proved uncooperative, he could use his powers, blast every single one of them, then take any useful equipment they might have.

If that didn't work, retreat followed by an assault from his van would be the next course of action.

If they somehow managed to overwhelm him and cut off his escape, he could surrender, hoping they would give him a chance to join their gang. With that option, he could absorb whatever information they had and use it for the elimination of other blasphemers.

About halfway, Judge Isaac made a check with his binoculars. Wait, there seemed to be some man with a gas mask looking at him. Probably some other person with powers.

Isaac watched the man carefully, sidestepping a bit so the church would eventually block the view. The man was probably about a hundred or so yards away, but Isaac wasn't sure if he could make the shot with his crossbow.

The Judge thought about flipping the bird at the man, but then realized that would be something Levi Solomon would do.

"Yeah, he is," Cot replied, smiling back at the Prince. "I'm Cot, by the way. Nice to meet you!" And it was; this was a lot more fun than she'd expected already. Meeting a pretty nice person, harmless flirting with some alien princes, and seeing some artifacts (with the possibility of a super attack)? That was a decent way to spend an early evening.

The sudden entrance of another well-known face took Zack by surprise. Dino Natow, owner of Sleipnir Industries, interjected in the conversation. He was certainly larger than both men, but he seemed jovial enough, if not a little louder than Zack would like. "Mr. Natow, hello, yes, my name is Zack Albright," he greeted. Though Zack was more of a local celebrity in Rail for being a procurer of fine arts and more mundane items, Dino Natow was a global presence. Especially when the weapons he'd produced are the standard for technological power.

"Erm, I believe that's my father you're referring to, Zion Albright. I inherited the shop after he'd passed," the young man fumbled, when asked why he didn't seem to be the actual owner of the shop. "I'm relatively new to the board of directors, but I'm trying to help the business prosper," he continued, suddenly remembering the new ideas that were sent to him regarding possibly opening a clothing brand, or expanding their publishing houses (the main bulk of the Oddities store is their bookstore).

A server had brought them drinks before this question was answered, however, and Zack took a glass for himself and downed it, though hopefully nobody noticed his eyes fixed firmly onto the ceiling so that he wouldn't unravel due to the liquids.

"That was all very enjoyable, yes." Sharik said, suddenly interrupting Dr. Carter as he patted him on the shoulder and 'gently' pushed him out of the way. "Thank you, Dr. Carter, and if anyone wants to know more about these fine exhibits, there are pamphlets scattered around the museum, and for those whose brains do not work, there's this thing called Google that will do all the work for you."

Cleaning his throat, he grabbed the microphone. "Now, I know that most of you are wondering why me, a man so connected to the future, have sponsored an exhibit of objects from the past? Well, I believe that the key to our future is in our past, and, just like many other enterpreuners of today, my love for science started as the museum, which is also another reason for why I sponsored this exhibit. To create future innovators, like me."

He raised the glass on a cheer, which he also interrupted. "But if you're here because you truly believe these artifacts have supernatural qualities, please, I suggest you head towards the bathroom and drown yourself in the toilet, because the world really doesn't need people like you. It needs people who are ready to work for the future, and not mull over artifacts from the past like some mindless goblin. And before anyone asks, I'm not drunk. If I was drunk, I'd be using names, and those accostumed to my speeches know that I do not hold back."

"I want to thank Dr. Carter and the workers at the museum for being the last hope for a society not focused on idiotic games, gossip columns or reality shows. Your work is very much appreciated, but 80% of this room do not care and are only here to drink alcohol and make up for depressing childhoods." His eyes met Talia Wernhark. "Sorry, 85%. And now, let's all get shitfaced and make decisions that we'll regret for the rest of our lives." He said, smiling, before gently slapping his forehead. "Oh, I almost forgot. If you look under your seats, you'll find brand new Sharik Tech phones, courtesy of me. But if any of you take any selfies- and I will know if you take any selfies- I will find you, and I will personally destroy your phone and any other technology you might possess. No one cares about your face, and it's just clogging up my servers." Another smile. "Enjoy the evening!"

Jessica watched as Sharik went down from the stage, grabbed another alcohol and sat on one of the seats closest to the stage. "I like him." She said to Tiger, her face still glowering at the audience, looking for anyone trying to cause any trouble.

Ghost listened intently to Sharik's rant on through a bug he had planted there a week before. "Prepare now so you don't miss out later" was his motto on such things. He almost choked on his chilli when he heard mention of 'the key to our future'.

Yeah like you know anything about the future you pansyass.

He continued to listen in. As the minutes went by his faith in something big happening gradually declined.

"What was that?" The Doctor idly asked Phase, from another of the upturned graves, still rather oblivious to the goings on up above. She continued to add more minions to her retinue, all too happy to keep at her preparations, until someone made themselves apparent to the Doctor.

Sunta looked at the chairs, then slowly looked at Esteban. "Are you implying that I don't know what chairs are?" He asked, clearly threatening the waiter. "I choose to sit at this table because that is my desire. And as a servant, you are in no position to complain. Now leave, before you commit the biggest mistake of your life." He told Esteban, waving him away so he could pay attention to Sharik's speech. If humans were all like this, then this mission might be funnier than he expected.

"He's quite confident in himself, I guess..." Tiger answered. It was definitely the bluntest public speech she had ever heard. She then noticed Talia waving Jessica over. "Uh, I believe that, er...large woman wants your attention," she said quieter. "Do you know her?"

"Thank you for that...incredibly moving speech, Mr.Sharik," Dr. Carter said as some of the crowd gave polite applause. "Now, does anyone have any specific questions about these particular objects?"

Rail World History Museum - Show Room

There was a noticeable change of air in Cassandra's demeanor once Sharik took the stage. A stiffness crept into her smile, a stinging sharpness in her eye. For the first moment that night, the millionaire wasn't quite having such a good time.

"Well," she started, closing her eyes as she turned her glare over to her companions, trying to shake off the contempt she was feeling at the moment. "That was quite a speech. And it was certainly... generous of him to give everyone a parting gift."

There was a trace of venom in her voice.

Cassandra reached down to get her shiny new cellphone, and motioned Beth to do the same. "But sadly, I don't have use for another phone at the moment."

She slid the Sharik phone haphazardly over to Richard, and Beth followed suite. "You can have them. Please dispose of them however you like." Vindictiveness showed through her grin.

Glancing over to Daniel, Cassandra noticed the security man about to leave. While she normally would savor a man squirming around her, she noted it was less about her and more about something else. "I'm sorry, I have been keeping you, haven't I? I enjoy good company, but I can see there are other things on your mind. Feel free to leave; I think nothing of it."

Hearing Dr. Carter open up a round of questions, the millionaire smirked and slithered her hand into the air. "Have these artifacts been historical verified? After all, any relic linked with Christ would be highly sought after and hoaxes and forged relics have doubtless circulated and passed as the genuine article." Her gaze flitted over Sharik for the briefest instant, a millisecond most would not catch, before returning to Dr. Carter. "Although Mr. Shadid is both resourceful and meticulous, I would prefer the word of archaeologists to confirm their authenticity."
