Yes! But more is breaking secret and Gregor never tell one ! One day, held secret for whole years ! he says.
We should get going. says Xander, with the rest, bar Kellam and Morgan, following suit.
Well I was... there all along. he says, kind of bothered.
Your sword is also well known ! I heard that you've got a descendant who still wield it to this day !

Jack Frost looks curious, but dissappointed that won't get anymore answers regarding the Shift.
"Aww-ho. If you say so." The demon says. He then looks at Kellam, unsure what to say to him. He then decides to try give him a pat in the back. Might be pointless since the guy is wearing some huge armor, but it's the thought that counts, right?
The demon looks at Ike after hearing what Morgan tells about the man.
"You sure are popular!"
King of the Monsters
"I guess." Ike glances aside, shifting Ragnell on his shoulder.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Well, I'm just particularly fond of old legends ! It helps and kinda inspire me to live up to them, especially because even in my world, I could still perhaps meet a descendant of his !
Kellam nods at Jack Frost with an amicable smile.
Thanks. Huh... it's the emotional touch that matters.

"You're welcome, big guy!" The demon says to Kellam.
King of the Monsters
"I mean... I'm here. I hope you wouldn't just forget this place exists when you return home."
"Hey, Frost. Mind giving us a little demonstration of your powers as an ice demon? No harm meant, of course."
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
You know, maybe you won't forget me ? You're from a different... world right ?
Morgan nods and apologize by bowing up and down repeatedly.
Ah ! No offense ! I meant to say that I could meet you and your descendant later in my world ! After all, I won't live out my life here !
Yes please, do show off !

Jack Frost looks at Ike and Morgan. He smiles and jumps happily.
"A demonstration eh? Sure!" Jack Frost says and moves away from the Group to make some distance.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Jack Frost ice show! Hope you are prepared for a hee-ll of a show-ho!" The demon says.
"Hmm, what should I start with...I know!" Jack Frost says while snapping his fingers. Ice starts to form near his hand and starts to take shape of a hammer.
"This here is warm up! A ice hammer!" Jack Frost says and twirls the hammer in his hands.
King of the Monsters
Ike nods approvingly. "Funnily enough, I've seen a pair of individuals who wield hammers and have frost magic. They're... unique, though, and their mallets are made of wood instead of their own ice. Still impressive."
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Kellam claps politely but unfortunately, Morgan is too busy speed-drawing to really consider Ike's words, nodding in a polite but "i'm not really listening but i'm being polite" way.

"Thank you!" Jack Frost says to Ike and Kellam. He then dissolves the ice hammer.
"Now for the next part!" Jack Frost says as the ground he is standing on starts to get covered in ice. He then proceeds to skate around the ice that is forming.
"Here we go! Ho!" Jack Frost says and blast a nearby spot with ice, creating icy mist.
When the mist dissolves it would reveal ice statue that looks like Ike's Ragnell, except way bigger than the real thing.
"What do you say about this?" Jack Frost asks his audience.

Ike smirks and holds up his own Ragnell for comparison. "Mine may be smaller, but it'd be less likely to shatter with a single heavy attack."
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
How impressive ! I've never ever laid my eyes upon such a wonderful ice creation ! You're going a great job !
Kellam nods.
That's a giant's sword. he comments, a bit to himself.

"True, very true mister!" Jack Frost says to
"Hehee! Thank you yet again!" Jack Frost says to the audience and snaps his fingers. The Ragnell statue dissolves.
"And now for the grand finale!" Jack Frost says and starts to skate again. Ice gathers around his hands. He then leaps into the air and points his hands towards the ground.
"HEE-HO!" Jack Frost says and blasts ice towards the ground, creating more icy mist.
When the mist dissappears, it would reveal that Jack Frost created ice statues of Ike, Kellam and Morgan in front of them. He lands to the ground and looks the group.
"Tadaah!" The demon shouts.

Ike gives Jack Frost a rousing round of applause.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Kellam admittedly shed a little Manly Tear at the sight of a statue of him, of all things, and clap slowly.
Morgan smiles and lean back a little, admiring her ice statue.
Haha ! Thank you Jack Frost ! You're super cool !

"Thank you for the third time! You have been a wonderful audience!" Jack Frost says while bowing when applauded. After waiting a bit he stands up and snaps his fingers yet again. The ice statues and the ice on the ground dissolve.
"Phew! That was a tough, but totally worth it!" The demon says while grinning victoriously.

Ike nods. "You've outdone yourself, I'd say. Thank you for the show." He waves goodbye as he walks away.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Do you need to rest ? You'd deserve it after putting up such a show.
Morgan keep clapping meanwhile, amused.
It feels so good to relax and have fun ! Thank you so much !

Jack Frost smiles at Ike's compliment and waves as the man leaves. The demon looks at Kellam.
"Yeah-ho. That took a bit out of me, but a little rest should fix it." The demon says. He then looks at Morgan.
"Glad to know you had fun!" Jack Frost says to Morgan. The demon then starts to walk away before giving a final look at Morgan and Kellam.
"I will go somewhere to rest now. See you guys around! Hee-ho!" Jack Frost says as he waves at the two and walks off, grinning happily.
"Everything is going well Jack Frost!"

Bye !
Byyyyyyyeeeeee ! May we meet again soon !
Morgan waves away and then look at Kellam, grinning. She points at the group and actively attempt to keep him in her sight.
Let's go, Kellam !
He nods and they join up with the others.

@Psyco and Kirik: Apologies for the late response, overslept.
Before either Thor or Loki can make a counteroffer or comment on Tahn's strange lack of math skills, Daroach makes his dramatic entrance.
"And... who the Hel might you be, exactly?"
"It seems I won't need to deceive this charlatan and his minions with that false Tesseract after all."
Edited by IchigoMontoya on Dec 19th 2018 at 11:02:33 AM
Claus looks like he was about to say something too, but then the group turns to Daroach. Naturally, none of them know who he is.
"... Can you now?", Tahn asks, sounding much less surprised than before. "To be fair, I was mostly wondering if Claus would and could actually pay that. So, Claus."
They look back at the radio.
"If I were to put as a stipulation that you and only you were allowed to pay the ransom, out of your own pocket, what would you say?"
"What kind of question are you asking him? If we have the money, what does it matter who it comes from?", Duster asks, suspicious of Tahn's intentions.
"Answer the question.", he merely replies threateningly. Claus then looks determined.
"Of course I would!"
"Heh. Do you even have that much money?"
"... No. But I'd find a way to collect it all."
Tahn turns his head back a little to look at Lucas.
"Actually being willing to pay this much for a single person... you must care a lot about this boy.", he says to Claus while still looking at Lucas.
Claus looks somber.
"... he means the world to me.", he says, having no idea that Lucas can hear everything that's being said. Naturally, Lucas is surprised to hear how much Claus cares, and starts to wonder if the thief's words had been true...
It goes quiet for a bit. Then Tahn eventually answers again.
"Very well. New person, I'll accept your generous donation to pay off the ransom. On one condition: I want to be able to see you bring the money into the Arena. I don't trust conjured-up money. And if it all disappears when you have Lucas back... you will regret duping me.", Tahn says.
Claus, Kumatora and Duster turn to Daroach, looking grateful.
"No idea who you are, mouse man, but we're in your debt!"

Stark in the arena at the science building, checking out apps.
This place has a temporal dilation. Months here are equal to hours outside, it's pretty perfect to prepare, actually...
He swipe his finger across the screen.
And spend hours searching apps, yeah, wise use of your time, Tony Stark.

"Is that what people call me in the future? I suppose it fits."
Ike's eyes widen at the spontaneous appearance of Kellam.
"He's gearing up for war."
