The Battle of Death Mountain: Staging

[Demetri Malius]

Demetri rushed as he burst through the portal, the sudden increase in temperature causing beads of sweat to already form on his forehead as IRIS tried to cool down his body, running internal cooling processes in order to make sure her Creator didn't 'overheat' as she put it. Demetri could only smile at her worry as he continued along. He skittered across as puffs of steam threatened to shoot out rock and magma at him, Ezzy following close behind. Now that he did not have much in his satchel, he was able to return to an efficient speed, gliding across the landscape with ease.

"Creator, the temperature is over 45 degrees Celcius. I can only assume it will increase the further we go, I recommend proceeding with caution. In addition, there is a steep incline and a cliff coming up, we may go around but I believe we can scale it."

Demetri nodded, the whirring of his chains coming to life sharp in the air as he prepared, looking towards Ezzy, who gave a sly smirk before nonchalantly sprouting wings and taking to the air, causing Demetri to look in wonder for a moment before shaking it off and shooting a chain up towards the red glowing rocks. The blade chipped between one of the cracks as the thief scaled upwards, his feet lightly pushing against the wall of stone and making upwards progress as Ezzy chuckled and sped up past him, her wings granted her the ability to reach the peak of the cliff with ease as Demetri took his time with his more mechanical angle of going about it. She waited patiently as he finally turns over and gave a sharp exhale after having completed the feat, before both continuing on their way, Ezzy retracting her wings as they did so. 

After a long trek, they finally came upon seeing a speck in the distance, the large gathering of primes that were preparing for the final assault. With a grin, he came up with a plan for his entrance while telling IRIS to prepare for analysis. They would have to see who was accompanying the Headmaster and analyze who they could, get info on both temporary and permanent allies.

It wasn't long before the eyes of those gathered there fell upon them, acknowledging their presence.

"IRIS, analyze."

The robotic secondary's  HUD quickly displayed detailed information on whoever could not block its prying analytical rays, taking into account those new and old. It took well over a few minutes until she came up with all the diagnostics.

Besides from the obvious, Headmaster Nealaphh, Institute members Okor, Tom Riddle, and Colonel seem to be here as well. There are also new Primes here that we haven't met.

The one covered in red armor has some extreme physical capability with a variety of weapons. Certainly a warrior of the sorts. He appears to be very capable of battle. 

The scruffy man with the coat looks to be some type of wizard, able to cast a variety of spells and incantations, as well as a few weapons of his own. A very well  acquired ally, as he also seems to have gained quite a bit of power in comparison to the others,  definitely not new to the ways of the Omniverse.

The woman with the suit appears to have some psychic capability and is quite strategic in her ability, she would most likely work alongside us. Perhaps we can try to recruit her for the Thieve's Guild?

The muscular blonde seems to have most of his ability and power channeled into his blunt hammer, making it much more powerful than it seems. I have no doubt that it can shatter more than just a rock or pound a nail.

The one with the large sword, you appear to have met him before. He is quite powerful and has a great deal of combat ability, no doubt being able to hold the front lines with the Security Branch.

I addition, there is the woman with the varying prosthetics, another powerful ally. It appears the Headmaster has quite the gathering here.

That man there, he is a Lycan of some sort. Though he does well to hide it, as well as has a few sneaky tricks to help with that. Another candidate for a starting thief. 

There is also Erik Vrell, the boy I am sure you are familiar with, he seems to have made it here before us, time more on his side than ours.

Lastly, that one man there, with the cute cat-like being on his shoulder, he appears to be the most powerful out of the group, alongside Headmaster. I can feel the power that he radiates even though he seems passive. Quite dangerous, if I might say.

Demetri nodded at each short analysis of his allies, of course, he would need to write them down in greater detail later, but what she said will suffice. The thief gave a grin as he summoned a coin, walking through the group as he made his way to the Headmaster. With a flick of his thumb, the coin flipped through the air as he allowed a duplicate of himself to take his place, taking the quick sprint forward as he stopped in front of the Headmaster, appearing to teleport as his image came back into view, a grin on his face as he caught the coin. 

"Greetings Headmaster, I apologize for the late appearance. I have erected my own base of operation in Camelot, and it appeared that the passage of time was rather harshly different  in each of our planes of existence. However, I assure you I came at the mention of your plan finally coming to fruition, and you may assign me to whatever task you wish, I can without a doubt confirm that you will not find any of our allies to have the same skills I possess of infiltration and stealth."

"Hello, Headmaster Nealaphh!" IRIS decided to speak up as well, her voice coming from the half of Demetri's face that contained her metallic form. She spoke gleefully having never met the Prime before in person. "Thanks for sending Klee and Shen to retrieve my hard drive, I really appreciate it. My name is IRIS." she exclaimed, introducing herself. "Oh and then there is the female human over there, Ezrihel I believe she calls herself. I would be careful though I believe she is Succubus."

The God-Mind seemed to give a rather curious, or what could be assumed to be curious look as he tilted his head a bit, before Demetri waves his hand.

"Do not mind her, it appears she has a quarrel with my new acquaintance, she appears to have been quite... involved in her home world."He says as Ezzy seems to gives a slight distasteful look towards IRIS on his body, before brushing the comment off and returning to her calm and disinterested state of being, introducing herself in a very high manner, giving her respect to Nealaphh.
