"Yeesh! We're always late to the party!" Blazrin rushed after Eleanor and Mecha, keeping a hand near the handle of his ax, ready to fight and attack anything that hurts his friends. He made sure to keep the want he bought safe in a special pouch he owns.
 
The beam of light began that reached the sky began to diminish. The energy that brightens the entire room began to ease up a bit. The members of the Watcher Cult surrounded Magiana, as the energy-like being had disappeared. Did the ritual succeed at transferring the Queen's soul within Magiana? 

"Out of my way!" Envy shouted, pushing all the members down to the floor as he faces the young woman. "Queen, are you with us?" He asked.

Magiana's body began to move, not out of the will of the young woman, but from another. Magiana's eyes changed turned to a different color, radiant pink eyes, with a black iris. "Yes Envy, this body... this body will do. This young woman had high potential magic in her, you were wise to capture this fruitful one." 

==========

"The beam had disappeared... that means it's over." Watcher 2 said. However, he senses even more intruders. "Shit, even more? Do they intend to stop our ambition?!" He went back and returned to the field, to see if the Guards had defeated the first one, but one of them is already dead. "Damn. Why are you here? What is your purpose?! I don't have time for this nonsense!" He shouted. "There are more people coming this way. If you feel intend on getting rid of them, maybe I can overlook this matter!" 

==========

"Looks like the high levels of energy had disappeared. Still, we must hurry. I am sensing a possible danger that something will occur in a few moments." Mecha Samurai said. "I'm sensing few individuals outside of where the beam exploded."
 
Hadrian gave Watcher 2 a smirk. "Ah, so you want to do business with me now. Good for you I'm for hire. SO, what do I get out of this?"
 
"Wonder what kind of monster they summoned..." Blazrin said to himself. "Whatever they summon or unleash will be no problem for me! I'll be able to take it on no problem!"

Blazrin rushed to the source Mecha was talking about.
 
"Aw, looks like we can't take the scenic route then. I'll see if I can get there quicker through the trees around here. There's way better visibility up there." Without hesitation, Eleanor leapt up into the foliage and landed nimbly on one of the larger branches. "No time to lose now that we might get some goons on our tail." She proceeded to advance through the forest by leaping between the giant trees, hoping it would be a better way to get to the waypoint.

[OOC: I'll go on ahead and post Olivia arriving here on the Pegasus from Johannes Palace to save time]

Olivia could see the thicket of trees and gnarled trunks as she descended from the skies. "This place looks so isolated... no wonder they picked this spot."
 
"How about not getting instantly crushed by our queen?" Watcher 2 said. he observed Hadrian's appearance. "And some riches I supposed. Whatever floats your fancy." Watcher 2 turned around and grabbed one of the fallen guard's weapon. "I need to warn the others about this."

============

"Envy, where are the others?" The queen asked.

"They are currently making their move in other places in Paradice. Rest assured, they are trying to find those items that were precious to you." Envy responded.

"I see." The queen paused for a moment and observed her newly acquired body before turning back to Envy. "That's good. Seems like they are busy making sure that I can bring the fullest extent my and this body's power." She turned around and notice something. "Multiple people are closed by. Intruders?"

"Y-yes! But don't worry! Our guards will take care of them!" Envy explained.

"No. I want them to come here so I can test my capabilities." The queen smirked.

==============

Mecha Samurai nodded when Eleanor and Blazrin moved on ahead. "Alright, just be careful. I sensing tons of individuals in a single place, one of them harbors high levels of energy."
 
"Hmph, I would ask you to be specific. But since I'm bored, I'll take this." Chuckled Hadrian. He swung his scythe for warm up. He looked at the direction where he felt the several energy coming and smirked.
 
"What the hell is going on in there?!" Blazrin said a bit shocked. He turned to Mecha and smiled to him. "C'mon Mecha, if we stick together we will stop whatever is going on in there. Let's just hope we aren't too late to the party."
 
"Blazrin! Be careful! There's someone ahead!" Mecha warned and gripped onto his weapon. "Get ready for combat!"
 
Eleanor continued to advance, stopping to catch her breath after a few more jumps due to the exertion. What a drag, having to run around like this. So far, so good. Hopefully these guys don't use magic like those Paradican dweebs or summon some freaky monsters. That just makes the job harder for me. Huh? She looked down from her position in the trees to see a girl, Olivia, wandering through. She seemed to be looking for something judging from how she'd stop frequently to look around.

Now what's a cutie like that doing around a creepy place like this? Eleanor thought, scratching her cheek in confusion. Was she one of the kidnapped girls?

"Okay, I guess I just have to keep going this way to find that place... I'm so nervous. Do I have to fight them...?" Olivia muttered to herself.

"Hey girlie! You shouldn't be around these parts... say... you ain't got that weird disease, do ya!?" Eleanor called out to her, catching her attention. "You don't look like you're sick."

"O-oh, me? No, I'm not from here. I'm on... official business!" Olivia puffed out her cheeks, reddened due to unintentionally having called attention to herself. "Um... you haven't seen any weirdly dressed people holding a bunch of women hostage, have you? I'm supposed to help rescue them. But I came alone ...sorta." She thought the young woman to be strange, hiding up there in the trees. Was she watching her?

Eleanor leapt from the tree and down to the ground. "Really, now! So am I, with a few uh... coworkers. One of 'em said he could tell there were lots of people in one spot up ahead. Something about one of them having "high-energy". Not sure if that means one of them just drank a ton of coffee or what, but hey! Why don't you and me team up? My group wouldn't mind it one bit!" Eleanor hooked an arm around Olivia's shoulder nonchalantly. "We wouldn't want those creeps getting their hands on another poor little lady."

"I guess you're right... Fine. But if you're trying to lead me into a trap, you'll be sorry," Olivia warned, which earned a giggle from Eleanor. 

"Naw, nothing to gain from lyin' right now. I bet Blazrin and Mech' are already up there getting all the good fights too! Let's not lag behind 'em!" The two promptly started for the temple, with Eleanor having a running start up in the foliage.
