Bifrost Bridge Well, everything was still a bit chaotic for the group. The red haze that had popped up before was still hovering around the area, and now it was starting to become thicker and Bethany would be able to see it at this point too. Lady Sif jumped up and drove her sword right into the forehead of one of the monsters, and it fell to the ground with a thud, while the other 3 took out the remaining one. Or at least, what they
thought was the last one, as more seemed to materialize at the end of the bridge, appearing out of the red fog.
The creatures now were clearly not too thrilled, and started
charging down the bridge.
"Get away!" Sif called out, as she jumped out of the way, more or less grabbing the edge of the bridge and trusting her strength to hang on as she hung herself off the edge of the bridge to avoid getting flung off. Hogun did something rather similar, hanging onto the edge. The other four though (Volstagg, Fandral, Bethany and Ed) weren't so lucky, as the creatures were
very fast, and there hadn't been much of a warning. All four got caught up by the bilgesnipe and thrown off of the bridge.
Bethany and Ed would remember there had been the conversation of what happened if someone fell off, and the answer had been fairly chilling, that no one truly ever came back from it, only one person ever had been known to survive it. They'd see what looked like an endless vast of stars below them as they fell, and who knew what would happen.
Thankfully, they didn't have anything to worry about, as someone else seemingly appeared out of nowhere to lend them some aid.
A swarm of water seemed to dive off the bridge, and wrapped around the four who had gotten flung off, before they'd end up getting tossed back up onto the bridge (on the side closer to the palace, and a little ways away from where the bilgesnipe were now). Bethany and Ed would both end up with some cuts and bruises from the initial impact, and perhaps a little shaken from the experience and wet from the water (plus on the ground from the sudden landing), but otherwise they were fine. Volstagg landed on his feet up on the bridge, but Fandral like them had ended up falling.
"Well now, isn't that an interesting turn of events," Fandral commented, glancing around as a familiar person came racing over from the end of the bridge.
"Are you all okay?" Klara asked, she had what looked to be a few injuries, cuts and bruises and her sword arm seemed to be severely bruised, as her wrist looked a bit swollen. Which was impressive considering the fact that Asgardians were notoriously durable.
"Ah Klara, perfect timing!" Volstagg said with a bit of a laugh. Sif and Hogun had managed to pull themselves rather effortlessly onto the bridge.
"Mother!" Klara said happily with a smile, before racing over and giving Sif a hug. The pair was fairly equal in height, with Sif only taller by about 2 inches or so.
"Klara, what happened to you? You look like you ended up on the wrong end of a fight," Sif commented to her daughter, raising a bit of an eyebrow seeing her injuries after Klara stepped back.
"Huh? Oh this? It's nothing, we can talk about it later," she commented brushing her off a bit, before looking at the bilgesnipes, that seemed to be turning around to charge again.
"Alright, this is annoying," she added, as she walked straight for them, and suddenly a huge wave of water appeared out of nowhere, and the creatures were all thrown off of the bridge.
"Impressive Klara, but we could have handled it," Fandral commented to her, walking over to her.
"Oh? Then maybe I should have let you fall entirely off the bridge then?" she said with a bit of a giggle, and Fandral was starting to attempt to protest it, as they'd be able to start heading off of the bridge and back into Asgard itself. They were still a little ways away from the palace, and Klara was chatting happily with Volstagg and Fandral, with Hogun not too far behind them, but of course Klara was rambling a bit. But it sounded like from bits and pieces they could easily tell that she was explaining the entire situation with her helping the group break out of prison and all.
However, Ed and Bethany would be able to tell that something was up with Sif, as she hung back and let the four head off ahead of them. "Something doesn't seem right..." they'd be able to hear her mutter to herself.
The Falls "Runa? Are you okay?" Mary asked her, going over as she almost had seemed to be panicking a bit from the bears that seemed to be surrounding her. Actually, in Mary's mind, the entire scene was kind of amusing, watching an Asgardian trying to bat away at a swarm of teddy bears that were more or less trying to all give her a hug at once. She had to stop herself from giggling at the sight, and instead decided to try and help get the bears off of Runa, after they had ended up getting transported along with them to be closer to Baldur's home.
The instant she reached out to touch one of the bears to try to get them off of her, one turned and instantly bit Mary's arm and she jumped back slightly, as a few instantly jumped at her, and seemed to be attacking her now. Though the ones around Runa were still just hugging her and not really letting go of her still. The ones attacking Mary were more or less chomping on her, and she was starting to more or less toss them off, letting out a bit of a huffy breath.
"Okay, I am not going to die because of evil teddy bears, no way..." she muttered to herself.
She managed to get a few of them off of her, and she could more or less move around, though there were teeth marks and some blood on her arms from them, and she looked at Runa.
"Ok, I hate these things, and we really need to get moving... Can't you just try tossing them off? Since they clearly don't like it if I mess with them."The Palace "Well, not sure how this situation could really get worse..." Lance muttered as he picked himself up off of the ground. Of course, then things
did get worse, as Annie for some reason decided to create a full moon? Uhhh... In his brain and any sort of fantasy lore that he could think of, wouldn't that make them stronger? Then the universe decided to agree with him, as the werewolves seemed to grow in size, and now were towering over them even more than they had been before.
"Okay... So anyone have any bright ideas?" Pietro asked, and Frigga just completely drew her sword, holding it in her hand.
The werewolves went onto the attack, and one made the mistake of trying to seriously injure the Asgardian queen. Despite her appearances, and the obvious idea that she likely used more magic than actually sword fighting unless necessary, and the wolf clawed at her. She rather easily sidestepped and dodged him, before she ran her sword through it, and the creature dropped to the ground, and looked to be very much dead. "Get out of my home," she said rather simply.
Okaaaaaaay, she's not how I'd have envisioned her to be at first, but that's cool. Pietro said mentally to Guin.
The other wolves jumped on the attack, and considering that it was still a decent sized pack (about 4 of them now or so) that meant that they were still going to cause them major issues. One of them charged straight at Lance, and he raised his arm slightly to at least try and block what he figured was coming. And the wolf slashed his arm and it was starting to bleed rather heavily. Currently, Lance actually was able to keep his temper down, and in retaliation sent a rather large blast of light at the wolf (despite the blood dripping down his arm) that sent it flying backwards and away from him.
Another wolf charged straight at Annie now, leaping at her with a loud snarl. The werewolf slashed at her. causing blood to come from a slash across her face and another one along her arm. They were bleeding, and rather painful as she got knocked down to the ground again. It went to try and slash at her again, but a shield seemed to appear around her, and she'd be able to see Frigga had cast a spell, shielding her for the time being. "Perhaps after this a different protection spell would be better," she commented with a bit of a shrug.
The next one went after Pietro, and despite his own speed, somehow the werewolf was almost
just as fast. This was really annoying to him, as he managed to avoid the first swing at him, but ended up getting caught on the second swing and he ended up with more of a few scrapes than anything. Pietro instantly swung his fist around and managed to punch the wolf with his first swing, but on his second it wasn't too surprised and somehow managed to dodge out of the way. Actually, looking at it now, this wolf was bigger than all of the others, so now Pietro was starting to think that maybe this one might be the leader? He honestly weren't sure how werewolves all worked with a hierarchy or whatever.
Guin had it the best out of the four of them, as somehow she ended up against the most
uncoordinated werewolf imaginable. The creature almost seemed like it was drunk or something as it charged in almost a zig zag sort of pattern. It took a few swings at her, but maybe it was because she was a lot shorter, or that the werewolf was drunk or something, as all of his swings missed her entirely, a few just going straight over her head.
