  7. Ignatius looks down. "That would be the helmet." He starts shaking out his leg to get it limber again.||
  8. 1:22:49 PM
  9. Teller|Hops
  10. Hops continues to ignore him. Either his wind is pulling on the helmet like it spun the merry-go-round, or maybe his power does work on dead bodies. ||

  16. The banging noise increases in frequency, and gets louder and louder as whatever it is comes farther and farther up the tunnel. Until there's a loud bang, and Hops rips one last time, and a human shaped figured comes part way out of the hole, and Hops finds himself face to face with Buckler's helmet. It's unmistakably his, there's even the legendary dent Libre had left on it that Buckler had never repaired on one cheek. It's Golden

  19. Brown, with red goggles built into a mas that covers the top of the head... except it's less a head, and more a skull. The armor gets caught on the edge of the crucible, and the armor rattles for a second in the wind before Buckler's corpse is flipped out of the hole and slaps into the ground. A couple of bones are knocked loose.

  34. Hops lets his vortex drop to a breeze as he stares down at the armor. At the dead man inside.
  35. 1:44:39 PM
  36. Teller|Hops
  37. It strikes him that he's standing at Ground Zero of Buckler's Slum, next to Buckler's corpse. He glances at Ignatius. Does this mean something to him? It's weird, but the sight of the iconic costume and the dead hero barely stirs anything within him. He was never the member of Stronghold that held his interest.
  38. 1:44:39 PM
  39. Teller|Hops
  40. No, that was always Siege. And the dead man beside him doesn't seem nearly as important as the dying people around him - people he had nearly killed to get here.
  41. 1:44:39 PM
  42. Teller|Hops
  43. He can't walk away now. He can't put it into words, but all of this has to /mean/ something...or else this carnage was all it is. All he is.
  44. 1:44:39 PM
  45. Teller|Hops
  46. He reaches down and gently removes the gauntlets from Buckler's skeleton, then fastens them in place over his bloody hands. ||

  52. The latch on the left hand is rusted, and he has to pull hard to get it free so he can get it off of Buckler's... skeleton. But eventually he manages to undo the clasp and remove the gauntlet from Buckler's hand, then he does the same with the other. He puts them both on his own hands. They're more frames that proper gauntlets, made of strips of strange brown gold metal that end in green studs over his knuckles. They're big on him,

  55. meant for hands larger than his. But the clamps on the end allow him to fasten them into place. He looks down on them, at Buckler's gloves on his hands as the corpse. The corpse that had once been the hero that represented the city, the one who'd been here when the explosion had gone off. The hero with the iconic shining helmet, gloves, and boots, the solid green body frame with the white tower logo that represented Stronghold etched

  79. Hops caught up in the moment, his vortex whistling just so quietly stops him from hearing what Ignatius can barely make out coming from deep in the home. A pained and sorrowful scream, a girl's.

  85. Looking into the hole, Ignatius simply stares. "She's alive, I heard someone scream." His gaze fixes back in a glare at Hops. "I will say that I think this is a horrible idea, and the Crucible has to be what's keeping whoever that is alive."
  86. 1:59:30 PM
  87. Faust|Ignatius
  88. He crouches down, grimacing beneath the scarf with pain. "Not the first person to have it work like that." A thought crosses his mind about what would happen if this person was important to the Offshoots.

  95. 2:04:22 PM
  96. Teller|Hops
  97. "I know that it's a horrible idea," Hops replies. He tries to think of a joke, but nothing comes to mind. "Sorry about...all this."
  98. 2:04:22 PM
  99. Teller|Hops
  100. Man. He hopes he gets to see his parents again. He swallows, turns his vortex on as high as it will go, and hurls himself into the Crucible. ||

  118. Without giving Ignatius the chance to respond, Hops' vortex whips into full force, and before he has the chance to change his mind he directs his wind into the tunnel, pushing himself as hard as he can possibly go, while also pulling for /something/ inside of the hole and zooms forward. It's dimly lit, and he almost crashes into a few outcroppings and walls as he /glides/ down the tunnel at break neck speeds.
  119. 2:09:09 PM
  120. ~ColdGold|GM
  121. The initial moments inside don't feel like anything, it's cold, and he can feel the wind whip as he whirls past obstacles. As he gets deeper in, the sides begin to glow a slight green, and then he feels himself tumble forward as he falls into a heap on the ground and his stomach /lurches/ with a strange feeling in it.
  122. 2:10:17 PM
  123. ~ColdGold|GM
  124. His skin /tingles/, and then that tingling turns into a light burning. He feels too overwhelmed to move for a moment as the feeling on his skin begins to expand, and overtake him. He can feel something wrong starting to happen. But as he looks up he sees a cavern a short distance away, and then he hears....
  125. 2:10:55 PM
  126. ~ColdGold|GM
  127. "... leave me along. Please! Please, please, please." A girl's voice screams from that cavern, and then there's a short sob.

  142. Feeling anger overtake him, Ignatius walks over to one of the pillars. He killed his men, threatened both his children, and now. Now he has the gall to say he feels regret! For putting those children in here!
  143. 2:17:24 PM
  144. Faust|Ignatius
  145. His skin cracks and his claws on his right hand start to become overtaken by longer, more menacing ones with glowing tips. He cuts the pillar and lets it roll to the center of the room slowly.
  146. 2:18:04 PM
  147. Faust|Ignatius
  148. Walking over to another pillar, Ignatius feels himself fuming. He was forced to kill!||

  154. 2:28:10 PM
  155. Teller|Hops
  156. The bastard part of his brain cuts in. He'd seen how the Offshoot kids look, what they lived like. It's not too late - he could turn back, leave her down here in the darkness while he drags himself back above the surface.

  186. As Hops struggles down below, Ignatius feels the flame inside him rise to a boiling point, and then he can fight it no more, and he gives into it. Letting it overtake, and cover him. His skin cracks open, exposing a white hot molten heat below it, that's coursing with metal and rock flowing around. He feels hot, and the slag from in him bleeds through the cracks around his claw forming a longer hot one. He swipes at the pillar, and a

It rolls a bit towards the hole, and stops about five feet away as Ignatius feels his sense bleed and change, and he stalks over to another pillar.

  195. As Ignatius rages, Hops slams a fist into the ground. His teeth gritted. Another lurch runs through him, and he shudders as he feels things poking and growing from his sides. He feels his skin tingle weirdly again, but his costume hides whatever it is that's happening to him.
  196. 2:36:28 PM
  197. ~ColdGold|GM
  198. He curses and throws himself off of the ground, letting his Vortex lift him forward into the cavern the rest of the way, where he comes tumbling to a fall in the center, and then manages to crawl a couple more feet forward. He looks up and sees her. Both arms, her head, the upper half of her torso, and one leg stick from the green large open cavern.
  199. 2:38:49 PM
  200. ~ColdGold|GM
  201. It's gigantic. Her skin is purple, well more violet, and her hair is long and black. She's wearing a purple bodysuit. She doesn't notice him at first, and screams again, still crying. But then she looks up. Her eyes are slightly slanted, and they're green. She freezes, and her eyes widen seeing him. Her mouth opens but no words come out, as another wave of pain washes over Hops, and the two just look at each other for a moment.

  276. He brings his fist forward into the wall, and rips backwards with his vortex yanking the girl with a startled expression, and knocking a fat chunk out of the wall, freeing the right side of her torso. She just looks over at the newly freed part of her body, like she can't believe it's actually happened. This time the tingling doesn't knock him over, he can feel the things sticking from his eyes move, and then sprout forth from him.
  277. 2:57:07 PM
  278. ~ColdGold|GM
  279. Two extra arms, covered in white fur, and the hands are more paw-like than human, though he sees they can be curled into fists. The same fur can be seen from a few other spots on him as well. More is starting to sprout out.

  282. While this goes on Ignatius continues to stalk, felling another pillar with ease. He sends it tumbling to the ground, but this one doesn't roll nearly as close. He finds himself not caring as he feels his torso stretch and his body elongate. The cracks in his body snap, crackle, and pop as this happens. His arms elongate and he finds himself begin to slouch forward, walking more like an ape than a person, as he brings his claws up.
  283. 3:00:59 PM

  348. Ignatius pushes, and Hops pushes. Ignatius pushes the pillar, his rage driving him to bury the kid that would come in and cause all of this. Leave him stranded down there. The pillar is heavy, and he isn't necessarily stronger, but he has an extra limb to use, stone man strength, and a fiery anger to move it. He manages to get it up next to the hole, at an angle that he'd need to reorient it and then slide it into place.

  351. Hops pushes at the walls, his hands closed instead of open, fists brought to bear upon the green walls holding her prisoner. He rights himself, straight up ignoring the feeling now. His mission is all there is to worry about. The rest can come later. He brings all four of his arms into the wall, pulling on Siege again. This time it's enough, and the rest of the wall around her upper body breaks, leaving only one leg trapped. She looks

  386. Ignatius starts forming what looks like a mouth on the center of his chest and positions himself with his back to Kali. As he does so, he starts making the vent turn into a crack, spewing forth a long coil of metal.

  410. Up above Ignatius's body further shifts, elongating him into a form that walks on all four legs. The vent changes into a crevice instead, and a metallic hot tendril snakes out. A growl escapes his mouth and the fire inside rages as a hole like a furnace opens on his chest directly towards the small opening he's left towards the crucible.

  484. Before the girl can react to him introducing himself, his vortex leaps into action and rips yanking her towards him, and as soon as she claps into him he brings all four arms around her tightly, into a hug as he turns and blasts forward, still holding onto her tightly.

  493. Ignatius sees him coming first, as a heat signature flying up the cave. And then he's in his range. Four arms, stronger legs, and a layer over the heat. And then... he can see a violet girl in Hops' arms as he glides towards him and the vortex begins to rip. There's no heat coming from her to read.

  496. Hops notices something's wrong after he enters Ignatius' range. Part of the opening is closed, and there's a thing there. It's big and made of rock, metal, and molten slag. It's on all fours and its eyes and mouth are paths to its inner core. A long metal tendril snakes from it, and there's a pit in its chest that he can feel the heat from from the distance he's at...

  585. What is that? Where's...is that...? It reminds him of Ignatius, but that doesn't really make sense to Hop's brain. It has to be another animal, some beast the Citizens kept chained up away from the others. Hops pulls Siege closer to him and leaps, heading for higher ground. She doesn't remember...but she can use her power, and that's good enough for now. "We have to go up!"
