Surrounded by weirdoes
Squad 1
Sam nodded at Lily, slipping something he had been carrying on him. Taking a sip from a juice bottle he was carrying, but decided to look to the others.
"I'll go" He shrugged "Whatever it's out there, we'll just have to stay alive long enough for someone to pick us up, so..." He walked behind Mason.
"Guess we can move forward, and hope for the best" He noted "Don't worry, if nothing else, I can try to have your back"

Ryuu could feel as something was off, as the fog and everyone was going far away. The eerie feeling wouldn't leave.
Until something knocked him back. As the wind itself seemed to go against him, and the only thing he could do was to hold on as a tornado tried to blow him away.
"What...?" But, there was something in his eyes that froze his blood.
A shadow hung over him, as if the wind was obeying him, he could barely breathe as his body felt so distant.
It was as if his worst day materialized, as a man and dragon walked at him, his own face twisted in rage and the silhouette of Sorano hanging demonically over it.
He couldn't hear himself scream.
Wake me up at your own risk.

Squad 3
Love pinched the bridge of her nose."Let me try this again," she pointed toward each of Martin's squadmates. "I love all of you because you exist. I love the angel, the demon, and all that falls between. From the moment your existence was solid you were loved. Even those who weren't ever smiled upon by life I loved. Those who commit grand acts of malice? I love them. Those who give their all to save others? I love them. For each and every unique being I feel absolute and consuming love for all of you. Stop being heroes and become monsters, murder everyone in the world and I would still love you down to my last breath." the radience that shone through Martin had never seemed so bright.
"Besides, I do have permission. The first time he asked for the power to save another and he used it he accepted part of me into him, my cheers which become his strength. Just healing him could be done by any two biy being with enough power, but if he is going to live past twenty he needs to be remade to handle the burden." She cocked her head to the side. "And despite my love for all of you, saving him takes priority. So I will lovingly kick your asses out of my way to prepare him against Renegade and his mistress."
Be better, because what is the harm in trying?

Squad 1 - ??? - Ellie
"Jenni." Ellie smiled as the girl began to recall more of herself. "Don't worry, Jenni. I'm not gonna let that monster mess with you again. We'll find another way to bind it. Or kill it, if we have to."
She turned to the Innkeeper. "I don't trust you, but I also don't think you're a threat. So show us where this 'Mother' is and we won't smack you down."
Ellie gestured for the strange man to start walking. She kept one of Wren - Jenni's - hands in her own, just in case.
Squad 3 - Heaven - Mikael
"Nice." Mikael took a swig from the gourd, finding the wine to be quite lovely, filling his stomach with a gentle warmth. Far from the liquors of Hell, which burned your throat like fire.
As 'Love' kept talking, Mikael's eyes narrowed, and at the conclusion of her speech he drew a firearm and pointed it at Martin's body. It was a tranq rifle, of course, but there was no need to let the possessor know that.
"Bullshit." He growled. "Martin might have accepted some of your power, but that doesn't give you the right to mind control him. And we don't need any help to kill Renegade - I'll kill him myself if I have to." He took a step forward. "So I don't know what the hell you actually are, but if you really care for Martin, then get the fuck out of his body before I beat you out of him."
Mikael gave the thing-in-Martin's-body a hard look. "Or are you willing to resort to violence against all the ones you supposedly 'love', harming them all - Martin included - because of some stupid plan of yours to beat some two-bit villain?"
What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

"Until I know every word of that agreement, I'll have to agree with Mikael there," Jumping Bean said tersely. "Martin strains himself too much. Even I can see that."
"He will be healed. Just not on your terms," she paused in front of Shennong's office. "We're already here, anyhow."
Perry (4)
Perry ducked under some canopies in an empty market to escape the acid spit of the bats. She summoned Pancake the fire-thing within herself and spat out fireballs at the bats, taking down some of them.

Squad 3 – Xian Heaven (Main Street)
Oh my goodness, she said that she will "lovingly" kick our "asses" to reach her goal..., Chibuzo was restraining himself from exploding from laughter, as the group was led to Shennong's office by Jumping Bean. They were starting to annoy her!
She is such a savage!, he thought, snickering quietly.
However, half of me thinks that we should cut her some slack....I mean, Renegade was a joke. But will he keep bring a joke, honestly? Well, if we also improve too in terms of power, he would still be a joke, heheheh. But with Love's help, he will be an even bigger joke!, Chibuzo looked a bit doubtful.
However, the other half of me thinks that I should go along with the shade thrown at Love and watch what happens next..., he started stroking his chin, ...I think I will be on my squatmates' side. Sorry Love, hehehehe...
"Yeah...", the lich slowly floated away from Love and stopped next to Jumping Bean, "Ms. Xian's method of healing Mr. Snow seems much safer than 'tossing him into the fires of creation'...", he spoke politely, with a hint of shade.
You might know everything I'm going to do...but that's not going to help you, since I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO! STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

Squad 3
Love looked at them and instantly the area around them began to warm, the same way Martin's body always produced that extra heat from rising to his higher percentages. The heat was near oppressive, rising to a fever pitch, before suddenly dropping to nothing. "Okay you called my bluff on this one. Even if I had any desire to actually kick your butts there isn't a chance in heck that Martin would actually let me." she sounded almost annoyed, like a child who had been called out on her lie. "The only reason I am able to inhabit him so smoothly is because I am giving him what he wants, a way to instantly level up so he can start working toward closing up the huge wound your world has since the Saint's loss."
As they talked about Renegade she had to hold back a laugh. "No, you really don't get it do you? Of course you can beat him, the guy has like, four or five tricks and actively exhausts himself by using his powers. He is weak, and he knows it. So knowing he can't beat heroes he puts people in situations where they become just as weak as him." she turned her eyes over them, the playfulness vanishing. "Like killing a group of mind controlled werewolves without holding back. Like trying to murder someone as the first solution to an encounter with evil. Like running into a fight without thinking dummy," she slammed her fist into Martin's head. "When a lich, and sorry for using you as an example Chibuzo I love you but you have to admit that most of your kind got that way through slaughtering innocents, is the one showing restraint and only wounding, that draws you down. He can fight you at his level, and he is much better at causing pain."
"Regardless this doesn't solve the main issue, which is why I went one hundred percent speed about five seconds ago, and this after image isn't going to fool you mu-" Martin's visage disappeared from their sight as Love bolting toward the more bunched up buildings in heavens many streets.
Be better, because what is the harm in trying?

Squad 3 – Xian Heaven (Main Street)
If Chibuzo had eyes, he would be starry-eyed right now. Thank goodness I don't have sweat glands anymore..., he thought as Love released lots of heat from Martin's body.
So she can't fight us? What a shame, really...I've never 'sparred' with anyone from Class 1 here. I thought that not buying what she said was going to torce her to fight us, and I would use this fight as an excuse to go all out and see what Martin/Love was capable of. And even if she would defeat us in the end, I would not mind at all. People learn from losses, right? But whatever. If she just wants to scold us, it's fine then...
Chibuzo stared at the shrinking silhouette of the possessed Martin, as (s)he sprinted towards the buildings.
"Well then...", something started to move inside his attire. Two pairs of rotting wings came out of his back. He started to fly towards the fleeing goddess.

Van - Squad 3
Listening to her excuses made Van roll his eyes. She was just another abusive deity that decided her being a deity gave her a pass to control and manipulate the lives of mortals. This necessitated, he decided, "monsters" to reject the gods and their manipulations - and step forward without them.
Van felt the Sword of Tear pulse within its sheath.
He gave a look at Chibuzo and then immediately leaped into the air, being carried further by what looked like two streaks of blood from his back, which brought him quickly along in pursuit of the goddess.
The vampire prince darted after the fleeing Martin / Love, readying himself to draw the Sword of Tear.
He hoped the others would be following along in this. Everyone needed to fight together to put an end to this creature's dominion over Martin's body.
Squad 4 - Cole / 60
When the monsters descended from above at the command of the Horsemen, Cole realized well and truly that they couldn't just run away at this stage. Shouting to the others in the Squad, "Those are Shriekers of Alpha-Leunis! There's no doubting it, he's here! We gotta fight the Horsemen!"
Ripping through the wall of Famine's roots with a burst of telekinetic force, Cole ran over the eviscerated pieces of the roots, and crushed several of the Shriekers that were going for Evelyn. Cole was by now sweating - but looked utterly determined, and started considering the Horsemen...
His body basically radiated power, lending him a certain radiance.
"I'll handle Death. I've beaten him before. Keep safe, lovely, and don't get separated off." With that, Cole breathed and made a dash toward Death's position - dodging and throwing around the Shriekers that got in his way.

He was pissed off.
Not even saying his usual phrase, he quickly transformed and created a gauntlet.
"I KNOW I AM NUISANCE AND AN IDIOT BUT, I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU WALK ALL OVER US! I WON'T BE USELESS THIS TIME!"
His yelling was loud and could be heard clearly. He went as fast as he levitated.

Jumping Bean (3)
Jumping Bean performed a piercing taxicab whistle and shouted "We have a case of unauthorized possession, suspected to be consensual but terms unknown and ambiguous. Any assistance that could be given would be welcome, but do not harm the vessel!"
Then she channeled chi into her legs and took off after Love, somersaulting onto a rooftop so as to keep her in view. Other Xian joined the chase. Those that could fly went into the skies, and those that couldn't joined Jumping Bean on the rooftops.
All of them were readying exorcism fu and their other mystic arts.
Perry (4)
Perry's friends swarmed the chimera, maiming it however they could. Perry herself circled the beast and burned it with the fire that she spat. Sweat beaded and rolled off her forehead.
Pestilence sat smugly on her horse...until the smoke cleared and Perry was no longer circling the chimera. Then she turned her head to the side, and there was Perry, pouncing on her with fiery limbs.
The momentary distraction weakened the chimera's hold on the living world, and it disappeared. After dislodging Perry from where she'd latched onto her collarbone with her teeth and burned her, Pestilence brandished the aura of a chimera.
Pestilence had gotten too reckless in her decadence. Her skills had eroded to the point where she couldn't keep her "friends" in play and channel at the same time.
But Perry could.
It was Perry, Geistcutter, and her army of friends versus Pestilence.

"Glad to hear it! That I am. Follow me then, won't you? That you'll do."
As those who had decided to follow the innkeeper did so, they couldn't help but notice that the more they walked, the more the fog gradually began to clear. Slowly but surely it lifted until all that was left was a few faint wisps. That and the long, dank hallway of an inn. It was made out of moldy, rotten wood, and a line of doorways went down as far as the eye could see until they disappeared into the remaining fog at the end. But the doors that could be made out were of peculiar interest. That being that they each bore the name of someone from Squad 1. That they did.
The Innkeeper grinned as he gestured toward the doors, his breath almost as foul as the rancid scent wafting out through the keyholes. "Well, here we are! I'm sure that whatever you're looking for must be in one of these here rooms, that I am! Even if you didn't know you were looking for it. And don't worry about payment. Consider it a gift! That you should." As the students present looked at their doors, they couldn't help but feel almost compelled to enter. As if something or someone was driving them to open the doors and step inside. Whether or not they could resist remained to be seen.

Lily/Wren – ??? (Squad 1)
“I don't know if killing her is an option...” ‘Jenni’ muttered hollowly. “She was screaming once... ‘Father’ had eaten her... but I don't know what that means...”
She trailed off as they continued on, and she realised that Ellie was still holding her hand. Wren's memories were still far removed from her own, but they were slowly reintegrating. With a small half-smile forming on her face, she squeezed back and stuck close by the demoness.
“...I called you ‘Mama’, didn't I...?” she murmured a little sheepishly. “God that's so embarrassing... I-I'm sorry if that... made you uncomfortable or anything...”
Lily, meanwhile, looked a little taken aback as Sam gifted her a drink, but she appreciated the sentiment of it nonetheless—accepting it with a short smile and taking a sip of its contents. While still feeling a little... well, lost, she felt like she was slowly being accepted into this little group.
She hoped so, anyway. Regardless, she knew they didn't have time to mess around. She handed the carton back to Sam, and continued on with the others in trailing after their creepy tour guide.
The Innkeeper unsettled them both, that was for certain. His ratty establishment most certainly didn't help. Lily almost found herself wanting the fog back with how stifling and musty the building was.
But the doors were so enticing.
They shouldn't have been. Lily knew they shouldn't have been. But she still felt it, and it was taking all of her mental effort to keep herself focused and awake to the fact that going in these rooms would be an incredibly bad idea. Wren whimpered in a manner akin to how she used to behind her, and the hydrokinetic almost thought they'd lost her for a moment—only to then look back and notice where she was looking specifically; dragging her eyes over to a particular plaque on a particular door.

The mist became so thick she couldn't see where the others were. She heard snarling and saw the beast ahead of her. Realizing she had to act quickly if she didn't want to become shredded flesh and metal. Quickly, she got out her wings and scrambled up the nearest by tree. The beast was still scratching up at the tree, still trying to get at her but, thankfully she was high up enough. As she tried to collect herself, she looked down and that figure from earlier was there again, looking straight up at her. When they made eye contact, Sally felt her whole body go cold.
That figure was looked just like her.
This other Sally just looked at her blankly. Her hands and feet weren't metal though and there was something just off about her as she looked like there was no life to her.
"Who are you? Why do you look like me!?" Sally asked her.
"I am the choice you don't want to think about. How as long you don't think about it, you can continue to live that life you don't want to lose even though it may reach an end if you don't choose." She spoke in a dull monotone as she continued to stare blankly.
"What do you mean!?"
"Here's a hint. I am the outcome you are scared of."
The beast snapped harder at the tree. With no time to think about it, Sally let out a blast at the beast.

Up on Melancholy hill.
Mason - Squad 1
There was an alternate benefit to having his suit on, of course. Namely, his mother and father made it with the express purpose of traveling dimensions, specifically that of the Elemental nature. So, he had a built in filtration system properly secured in the helmet so he could breath in perfectly fine, breathable air.
And it was so rotten in this world, it was still coming through his mask. He was grimacing behind his mask and shaking his head a little bit, but knew it was doing it's best. If it was that bad going through a filtration system, then how bad was it outside, where the others were just...getting it?
The fact the door said "MASON" on it did little to soothe his worries and sate his fears. He saw other doors that said the same, ranging from Lily to Sam to Shane and even to Mother, which was gonna be a fun bridge to cross when they got to it...and based on the conversation he could overhear Ellie and Wren-Jenni(?) having in the back, it wasn't going to be just as easy to deal with as punching some giant monster like he'd been psyching himself up for.
But all of that took a backseat to the temptation the door offered, the rotting old door with the rusted plate that had his name on it. He wanted to turn riiiight the hell around and see if there was another thing he could go about doing. But that door was calling him. It almost literally was, and it certainly didn't help that it seemed to amplify his mothers words in this exact situation.
"Science? Knowledge? These things die when someone refuses to take the chance!"
So it was against his better judgement, or rather, erasing his judgement entirely, that he stepped forward and grabbed the handle of said door...
And twisted it.
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
King among Xanas
Squad 3
It was lucky for both sides that the streets of heaven were relatively clear given the fights happening in the arena as such the normal levels of security were slow to respond. Good for Love as she could use Martin's enhanced abilities to flee without interruption, bad for her as the disruption would allow the heavenly guard to zero in on the area. She couldn't be interrupted before she could complete her task.
"Please, just stop." Martin's voice spoke from the back of their currently shared mind, almost sending her into a set of crates.
"You're supposed to be sleeping you...you massive dolt," Love clenched their shared fist and continued her run. "If your mind doesn't rest the result of all of this could end up for nothing!"
"I know, this works both ways," Martin's mental voice sounded unbelievably sad. "There has to be a better way, just let me go an-"
"No!" Love's voice rose an octave higher then before, jaw set as she continued to move. "All that matters is making sure this works, go to sleep and just thank me when you wake up!" she pushed Martin's mind back to sleep and looked up. "Come on, time to pay your debt too."
Violet
"Of course," Violet looked down from one of heaven's higher buildings as the group chased after Love and closed her eyes, hands tightened to fists as she bit down her distaste with the situation. What was going to happen next would likely strain relations with her squad, but there simply wasn't time to explain. If they realized the full extend of what was happening they would either stop it, or worse they would screw it up and end up less for it.
"Cherubim, Arcangels, Power, Principality," she descended from the building with one of the angels catching her and dropping her and an entourage of angels before the group, forming a solid wall between them. "Stop," her forces wouldn't stand long against the sheer force that Squad 3 could put forward. Angels couldn't cause harm in heaven, and even if they died eventually they would reform. Even she wouldn't go so far as to hurt people that she could tolerate for trying to save someone.
"I could use this time to try and convince you that whats about to happen is for the best, but lets face it, the chances of any of you actually listening to someone is nill." her forces made a decent wall. "Or to participate in an active suicide. Still, I can hold you long enough to give her a head start. Debts repaid."
Overall her force of thirty Cherubim and Arcangels, along with a five of the oversized Powers and two of the healing type Principalities would make a fine distraction. "That being said, if you would like to talk, that will buy her more time, so I don't mind."
Squad 4
Clay looked back at the demons being spawned out to attack them and bit back a few choice curses, summoning forth his gun and firing back a few shots. Unlike the movies it was a hell of a trick to fire a gun from a horse in full trot, especially when said horse could outrun some cars. "I can't get a decent shot, don't suppose you have a laser or two in you?" he looked to Evelyn.
Be better, because what is the harm in trying?

Evelyn – Squad 4
“On it.”
Evelyn's voice had steeled by this point, as she'd finally realised exactly what was going on with her Eye. Her hands had been tingling for a reason, and—trusting her legs to keep her atop Clay's mechanical horse—removed her arms from around his waist, raising them out toward the Horsemen and displaying the newly manifested Third Eyes that had sprouted upon the surface of her palm.
Her eyes seemed to roll back into her head, and she went slack for a moment—the primary Third Eye in her forehead twitching and swivelling as a disembodied, inhuman growl of a voice became audible from no distinct source.
“Awakening Level 3 reached. Restraint active. Disabling nonessential brain functions.”
Blackened veins crept out from the canthi of all three of her Eyes as she took aim—letting the supernatural organs overlap with themselves as they sequentially picked up with an intense glow of ethereal light; bursting forth into a potent, destructive beam of pure psionic energy. It was purely due to her (rather awkward) angle on the horse that she didn't go flying from the kickback, but due to her semiconscious state she was getting frighteningly close to falling off from the force anyway.

Squad 1 - ??? - Ellie
"You can still call me 'Mama' if you want. I don't mind." Ellie almost giggled at the embarrassed look on Jenni's face. "You're still... my baby, after all."
But before she could pull her daughter in for a hug, her eyes caught the door with her name engraved on it. She couldn't pull her gaze away, not even when Mason began to walk up to his own.
Trap. She thought. It had to be. That's what Mikael would say in this situation, at least. But Mikael could be... paranoid. Maybe... maybe it wasn't? No, no it was... definitely...
Her free hand went to her lips, and she bit down on her thumb, hard, drawing blood.
She jolted, shocking herself out of the trance-like state, and raised her slightly-bloody hand to hold it out towards Mason.
"Don't. This might... it doesn't seem right. We shouldn't split up." Again the doubt clouded her, and she trailed off. She bit her thumb again, but more gently this time. "Maybe we could... I don't know, all go in one room."
Her eyes flicked over to the strange innkeeper, as though she was worried this might make him angry.
Squad 3 - Heaven - Mikael
Mikael shot off like a rocket the instant the afterimage disappeared, black wings outstretched as he soared over the Heavens.
He didn't have time to remark on the irony of that statement, for all of his attention was directed on the fleeing Martin. Or, rather, the thing-in-Martin's-body that called itself Love.
The pervasive itch of Heaven's atmosphere vanished as his blood flared to life. This was, in a sense, a Hunt. And he was a Prince of the Hunt. He could almost hear the hooves of Agathe - his father's horse - pounding against the soil of Hell.
Then Violet appeared, her angels attempting to bar their path. Mikael drew up his rage, and called on the fragment of Mahvash to infuse his weapon with her aura, at the same time morphing it from rifle to a small rocket launcher.
"Fuck off." Mikael spat, and fired. He'd aimed carefully so as to not hit Violet herself, but the resulting blast of daeva-aura unmade everything standing where the angels were currently arrayed before him, leaving a hole of vacuum. The air rushing to fill the void gave him a nice slipstream, and he charged ahead once more, already swapping his launcher for a tranq rifle to aim at Martin's body.
What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?
Van - Squad 3 / The Infinity Crusade
Van was narrowing in on the path of Love, The Goddess was not going to get away from him up here. Not when Martin's soul, his free will, and his life was on the line. Van was not going to let himself fail Martin - he was not going to let anything get in his way of liberating Martin from the chains of The Goddess.
However his flight after Love was obstructed by what looked like a wall of angels - and he heard what Violet was saying...and responded immediately, "...What's about to happen is for the best. Those are so very much the favorite words of religious fundamentalists and would-be theocrats who want to convince everyone that their rule by fervor and the letter of a holy book is just for the best. That human free will was never meant to let people determine who they love, where they live and under what conditions, and in what state..."
Van then shouted, "...And I say screw that!!" Van put a hand on the handle of the Sword of Tear, which pulsed, ready for deployment - and then said, "We're not going to stop...until Martin's free will is returned to him!"
Van finally drew the bright red blade of the Sword of Tear in the midst of slashing with it, the blood red blade creating a fine mist of red dust and semi-liquid substance along its path. The process of slashing with it created a massive wave of red force - hungry, yearning, drawing upon power, magic, energy...
And it appeared the blade hungered even for Violet's angels. Upon colliding with them, the wave dragged the remaining form into the blade - and within it, abnegation.
Slicing a way through the wall by this bane, Van continued to fly after Martin / Love, determined to stop her.
Cole - Squad 4 / 70
The clang of metal on telekinetic power and armor rang through even the shrieks of the monsters of Alpha-Leunis. Cole swung out with waves of telekinetic force - manifested as bright blue light - and each time the Rider Death disrupted with his scythe or swerved out of the way.
Swipes with concussive force were met with a wave emitted from the scythe of the Pale Rider.
Cole breathed and dodged another sudden swipe from Death's storied implement.
"You're..." Cole started, wiping sweat off his forehead, "Not the same...Death that I remember."
"The Master chooses differently, in each world - happenstance guides us to him, and we are blessed to lead the world to peace and prosperity."
Cole shook his head and then leaped up over a wide swing of the scythe, sending down a blast of concussive force that sent Death backward by collision with so much as the ground near him. "And peace and prosperity...what? Require killing everyone not strong enough...?"
Cole wrapped his entire arm in telekinetic armor and rushed in...

Jumping Bean (3)
"So much for your belief in laws!" Jumping Bean gave a war cry as she rammed a fist into one of Violet's angel's "eyes." "You hypocrite! Obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting a suspect..."
The Xian's fists flashed dangerously. "Organizing an unsanctioned public gathering, unauthorized summoning of other Heavenly entities into the Celestial Bureaucracy, trespassing on rooftops without proper chi techniques..." she rattled off. "This trouble's all on my head! So unless you plan on taking my 35 lashes for me, I suggest you back off so I won't hold a grudge!"

Vivian-Squad 4-Fighty Fighty Time!
"Oh, the full Suit is too heavy. It will only slow me down and get too cumbersome." What a fool I was! Never again! I'm only pulling my weight because of the damned thing, and I'm stupid enough to come into here with a prototype? F*ck!
Doing a quick loop, Vivian flew straight up into the air and back at the four sinister figures. Her earlier attack hadn't seemed to affect them, but maybe if she got in close...
The person on the red horse looked damned familiar, but she couldn't say why. Switching her ammo, she started firing tiny pellets of white phosphorus directly onto his face. Hopefully it would distract him long enough to allow her to close to punching range. And hopefully he could be punched.
Battle with the Four Horsemen
The red rider seemed to lurch backward as the burning pellets hit home...but then suddenly fired off a massive claw of darkness - crushing and dense - right at Vivian, aiming to crush her armor with her still in it. He seemed to take a dark sort of amusement toward the idea of Vivian fighting in armor, "War will always cull the weak from the strong...and your dependence on your armor immediately sorts you...into the weak. You're worthless, lifeless, and not a single one of your little friends will save you."
Meanwhile it seemed Evelyn's attack ripped right through Famine...until it became obvious that Famine was not dripping blood.
No, she was dripping what looked like sap. Reforming out of the same wiry wood and green matter - but the psionic blast also revealed Famine's identity; a severely altered, multiple eyed Ever Green - with a maw full of needle like teeth and various twigs affecting hair on her head.
Famine then struck the ground and a number of wooden spikes suddenly erupted, one after the other in the direction of Evelyn and Clay in a surprisingly quick succession.
Shane - Squad 1
Shane saw a door and went to try and move to open it - the world was just so...incredibly rotten out there, and he didn't have the same benefits as Mason. Though he guessed it was just the smell - he was already a pretty nasty sort of supernatural entity, so he didn't get much worse than the smell. He didn't know how or why this place knew of him like this.
But he had to move along. And he couldn't let Mason go it alone.
"What the hell is this place? And how...urgh...dammit."
As he proceeded into the door, he found himself in a place of nightmares whether it was visible or not.

The pursuit of Martin/Love came to a halt for Chibuzo when Violet came out of the blue and tried to stop the squad's attempt to rescue Martin.
"Oh...Mrs. Sharm...", Chibuzo politely addressed Violet, as hovered in place.
He didn't expect her, of all people, to try to stop their pursuit. He thought that at least Jumping Bean and Mr. Acker would try to make them reflect about their choice. But the Xian went along with it, and Finn was starting to become unstable, which was a bit...off-putting.
"Do not think that we could mess this up...", Chibuzo took a hand towards his stitched mouth, and, with it, quickly ripped the stiches away from his mouth. His body started to violently convulse into unnatural spasm. Black flames came out of the unstitched 'grin' of the lich as they started to spread across his body, burning his attire, and fully engulf it. When Chibuzo was fully consumed by the huge, black flame, he suddenly stopped twitching.
From the flame's "back", a ribcage came out and almost encircled it. Then, bones, scales and (three pairs of) wings came out, with unnatural speed, until Chibuzo's new body fully formed. It resembled a dracolich. It was tall 21 meters i(around 68'11") and long 53 meters (around 107'11"). It had a (literal) skeletal build, but his head (that had three, big and empty eyes, with third one placed on the center of his forehead), his wings, neck and part of his ribcage (where the black flame, that was still burning his former self, was placed, serving as a "core") were fully covered by rotting flesh and scales, which were cadet gray in color. The rest was bare bones. The dracolich's limbs were long, and they had humanoid hands with sharp, stalk-like claws. Its tail was long and barbed.
Insects started appearing around him. Chibuzo was still blind in this form, he needed their eyes. And since he was so huge in this form, he needed to create more of them.
"Now if you please, Mr. Sharm..." , Dracolich Chibuzo politely spoke, his voice bring unnaturally deep.
Chibuzo then scowled, baring his huge, sharp teeth. The scowl made his already demonic visage even freakier. But he didn't waste time. He then quickly started spew black flames that were really hot and also had powerful acidic properties. With Chi-we-ina fire breath, he had disintegrated the angels that we blocking his way, and resumed the pursuit of Martin/Love, releasing a deafening, distorted roar at her/him.

You might know everything I'm going to do...but that's not going to help you, since I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO! STRANGE, ISN'T IT?
Surrounded by weirdoes
Squad 1
Sam looked at his door, trying to just think on what to do.
"So, what, we all enter on two door, gain the attention of whatever it's inside, and then...?"
He looked at the doors, at Ellie's worries.
But at the end, he started opening the door.
"I've made my last will known, anyway" He said "Make sure to drag everyone in one piece"
Ok, dimension, do your worst
I.W
"What..." Ryuu gasped "What are you?" Ryuu could only see his double glared at him as a hand wrapped around his neck.
"You know who I am" He said, the voice sounding strange, as if completely distorted, as he tossed Ryuu away, but the dragon manages to land well "I am rage, I am destruction, I am fear, I am you" Ryuu tried to punch him, but his fist was caught and twisted behind his back.
"How long can you deny it?" It said "One wrong touch, one bad move, and you are back alone"
"Shut up!" Ryuu tried to kick it, but the monster wasn't there, as a strike got him right in the gut.
"You are destruction. You are cursed"
Ryuu covered his ears, not wanting to hear him anymore.
"You are doomed"
Wake me up at your own risk.
Mists
Suddenly the mist started to envelop everyone in the vicinity. Parts of it splintered off, shifting and solidifying until they resembled fearsome, snarling beasts. The beasts crouched down, ready to pounce until they sprung forward, eager to tear out the throats of all those near. All as the remaining mists threatened to cause them to see things they did not wish to see.
Rome?
As in response to the Squad's arrival, the horsemen slowly raised their hands. Suddenly a series of dark portals opened up, unleashing a horde of dark, winged creatures like monstrous, twisted bats. They flew at those below, spiralling down as spittle infused with acid rained upon those in their path.
