As Dino splashed into the mud, he couldn't help himself but scoff.

"But of course. Why am I not surprised. You could have at least spared the boots." he said raising his left foot from the slime, showing it to Abra in its beautifully disgusting shape. As the ceiling closed over him, Dino immediately extracted the Anaconda from its holster and one of the flares he had acquired previously, lighting the latter almost instantly. He gave Abra one last glance before leaving.

"Big slimy grunts up ahead, eh? Just how I like it." he muttered before taking off, making his way towards the various noises.

Lilith strolled through the hallway seemingly not in much of a rush, busy with her thoughts. People once more scurrying about caught her attention, as from around the corner the corridor seemed to be empty. Probably just an oversight, too many guards and mages running around in chaos already. She was about to simply walk by, but eventually stopped few meters in front of the door, watching people at 'work' and more importantly the equipment they were carrying. The woman peeked into the room, then looked back where she came from to realize Dino was in fact not coming. Her gaze slowly moved back at the entrance to the room, curiosity slowly taking over.

"Lilith... we have no time for that..." Walter sighed as he got closer to her, already knowing both what she's up to, as well as the fact he won't be able to do anything about it.

The woman smiled to him, shrugged and walked right in as if she owned the place.

When the ceiling disappeared, Celestial knew there could only be one person who was responsible. Celestial looked down at Castro and sighed. "Some asshole magician made the ceiling disappear; he does that sometimes--Castro, wait!" When Castro shot a projectile at Nocturn, Celestial tried to stop him by dropping him on the ground. He felt a little bad about dropping him, but he needed Nocturn alive, since he would make some of the plans, plus he somewhat liked the emo zombie.

Abra itched his ear. "Now that's not very nice Celestial." He murmured then called after Dino. "I'll leave you to your own devices, I got some business to attend to." The mad man disappeared and grabbing Celestial by the shoulder, warped the two away into an empty white dimension.

"Celestial, here I thought we were friends." Abra sighed as he shoved the magician down into a chair and the chair shuddered to life and bound the magician in place. "But there you go again, talking behind my back. Calling me nasty nasty names. Now here I thought you learned better when I had your eye pulled out." Abra snapped his fingers and a wheel formed next to him. It was divided into a multiple sections, creating a psychedelic array of different colors. "Now then let's see what you lose this time." The magician spun the wheel and let the incessant clicking fill the dimension. Taking out the choice he looked at it and giggled. "Well then, I guess you can call this karma."

He snapped his fingers and Celestial reappeared where he was to hear Castro shout at him. "What the hell was that for?" But the magician couldn't see anything. He was trapped in a world of darkness, with all he can see was the faint memory of the punishment floating in front of him. "1:Pull out his eye."

--------------------------------------------------

Dino paced steadily forward, his flare lighting up the way in front of him and as he turned a corner he instantly unloaded every bullet in his Anaconda into the strange lump in front of him. Each bullet sank into the quivering flesh and black blood sprayed out in reaction but soon folded in on itself. The blob began reforming itself and soon standing before the gunman was a 8' tall humanoid beast, covered in armor and with a helmet clamped over its head, with a single large yellow reptilian eye staring at him. It opened its mouth to reveal the six bullets Dino had shot. Then with a deep inhale, spat them back at the gun man like a peashooter.

-------------------------------------

As Lilith walked around she came upon a scene, in the middle of what looked like an explosion sat the guitar she saw Timothy totting around. The remnants of a human could be smelled in the air as well as potent magic.

With confidence Dino unloaded on the slime, but as it turned towards him and readied to shoot, he figured it wouldn't be that easy. He immediately began backtracking, finding an entrance in the corridor and ducking out of the way just before the bullets wheezed past him. The slime began advancing towards him, slooshing sounds echoing throughout the dungeons. But although the eerie atmosphere, Dino's blood was ice cold. With calm he placed his cross on a small ledge that protruded itself out of the wall and opened the cross' mechanism. His hand gently slipped inbetween racks, reaching the true core of the device. From it, a China Lake grenade launcher came to the 'light' of the day moments later. With a grin on his face he quickly took two spare shells and shoved them into his coat pockets, before closing the cross and throwing it on his back again.

The Irish man popped out of the corridor and fronted the slime, which was advancing towards him at steady pace.

"Say hello to my little friend!" Dino shouted as he pulled the trigger, firing the explosive shell straight into the slime. Massive explosion followed immediately after, flames expanding throughout the corridor. Dino was even caught a bit by surprise, but managed to shield himself with the help of the cross and the coat. As the flames dissipated, the slime was scattered across the corridor in tiny pieces.

But Dino didn't cherish his work, pushing through the mud and going past the slime, further down the corridor.

The shell sunk into its body and after a slight delay, it exploded. As pieces rained down from the sky Dino ran forward and found himself seeming to go through a portal and ending up in the white dimension. Around him the rest of the group began dropping into existence. Lilith appears with a guitar clutched in her left hand and a metal hilt in her right. The bracers disappeared from Celestial, Timothy, Matthew, and Anna but Timothy still had burns over his body and through his clothing while Celestial now was missing both of his eyes. The mask on Nocturn's face detached itself and dropped to the floor and Nocturn could feel his hunger buzzing like a hive of angry hornets.

Any reunion was cut short by the sound of a crunch. The group turns to see a throne facing away from them, and on the sides could barely make out the white suit Abra wore while the crown of his head barely peeks out from over the chair. The chair slowly rotates around and they are stunned to see the man before them, even Celestial could see him, as if some type of movie was being played in his head. Sitting before them was Abra, but instead of a porcelain white mask covering his face, they could see intense electric blue eyes and a faint smile playing on his face as he chewed on a red apple. He brought the fruit to his lips and bit into it again, filling the dimension with the audible crunch. He chewed for a few more moments and placed the apple onto the arm of his chair before taking a handkerchief from his pocket and wiping any stray droplets of juice from his mouth and glove.

"Nice job Dino, you killed the Minotaur, just like Theseus. Now then onto the next dimension with you. I'm sure you recognize it." A portal opened between them and Abra and it was indeed the previous portal offered to them. The scenery past the portal was a no-man's land, bombed out and ruined. Everything in a dreary shade of grey, brown, and black.

Anna hummed the whole way through the maze. Celestial stopped his advance when the group met back up with Nocturn, Matthew, and Timothy. She cheered as Castro launched an attack at Nocturn, who looked pretty creepy. When the ceiling vanished and reappeared, she couldn't help but wonder if that was a common thing. Regardless, she went to Castro's side to make sure her champion was alright after being dropped by Celestial, who she didn't notice get dragged into another dimension by Abra. Hell, she hardly noticed it when he came back, or when they were all dragged into Abra's dimension.

The sound of a crunch caught Annabeth's attention as she turned to face the throne. Her face lit up with excitement as Abra turned to face them. She adored his stylish choice in clothes as well as his appreciation for suspense, but like any god host he didn't keep the people waiting. Anna looked over at Dino as Abra gave him credit for killing the dungeon beast, and she looked a little saddened by it. Abra had opened up a portal, obviously to another world of some sort. Anna clapped excitedly, "Thank you for the opportunity to explore another magnificent world, m'lord!" She didn't really know Abra, but it didn't take a genius to be able to see a crown and recognize royalty.

As the group began to materialize into the white world, Dino stood at ease. As the rest of his companions began appearing around him, he made his way forward, fronting the crew. Then Abra appeared, and Dino grew a massive grin on his face. When he got complimented about the kill, he opened the China Lake's chamber, allowing the empty, hot shell to pop out of it with a flunking sound.

"I bet you Theseus didn't have artillery." he said almost daringly, reloading the China Lake with another fresh shell.

Suddenly a voice behind him echoed through. A female one. Dino spun on his toes and spotted Anna, joyfully thanking Abra of...the opportunity? He took quick steps and fronted Anna moments later, his eyes locked onto hers with a slight touch of hatred and disgust.

"Where did you find this lunatic?" he exclaimed loudly, so that the entirety of the group could hear him. But the Irish man couldn't keep eye contact forever. For as hard as he tried to menacingly stare into her silver eyes, his instincts took over, allowing his sight to go down and up real fast. As it went down Dino's eyebrows popped up.

"This very good looking lunatic, I might add." he whispered to himself, but Anna was close enough to hear it either ways.

Anna gazed intently into Dino's eyes as she gave him a friendly and sincere smile. "They found me in the dungeon," exclaimed the small woman in comparison to the man towering over her. She followed his eyes down and took a half step back, trying to find out what he was looking at. Her concentration was broken when he complimented her. Anna looked up at the man, smiling wider than she was before. "D'aww you're so kind! I'm sure you get this a lot, but you've got lovely eyes." Returning the compliment was only right in Anna's mind. She extended her hand to Dino, "My name is Annabeth, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Anna was ready to meet Celestial's friends, but she didn't want to disrespect Abra in his castle either.

"Ey Lillith, could you give me back my guitar?"
Timothy watched the proceedings with arms crossed and no expression at all. But he really did miss his guitar.
"I really want to get moving, get restless if we stay too long."

"Well would you look at..." Lilith raised her head from above the equipment she just retrieved, to find herself in completely different place, again. Surprise and confusion were visible on her face for a second, before it returned to her usual smug. "...that... This whole teleportation thing really starts to annoy me...Anyway..." The woman slightly extended her arm holding the guitar, signaling Timothy to come up and take it. "Damn, you guys look like crap..." Everyone was either wounded, or covered in mud and other filth, even Dino for whatever reason. "...What happened?"

Then Abra turned his chair around, successfully capturing everyone's attention. This time his face hasn't left such an impression as the first time, leaving the woman indifferent about the 'great reveal'. She raised her eyebrows when she heard another compliment addressed to Dino however. Abra couldn't mean King Arron, first be it because he'd repeat himself, second - Dino's dirty clothing, and the fact that he apparently just had to fire one of his weapons. Something definitely happened while she was away. "No seriously, what's going on...and who's Theseus?"

Meanwhile, Walter stood there awkwardly with his disguise still on, holding Nocturn's metal rods each in one palm. "These are yours, right?" He slowly approached the zombie but stopped mid-step when he noticed the mask on the ground. He stared at it for a longer moment, and as his disguise slowly dissolved into ash it revealed him frowning. ""Well, you can have them back..." The skeleton growled, placed the weapons on the ground few meters from where Nocturn stood, and the turned around and disappeared.

Lilith still had the metal hilt, from what she remembered belonging to Matthew, but at this moment the woman was too distracted listening to Dino's and woman's conversation to bother. Lilith examined the newcomer from head to toes. For someone kept in a dungeon for who knows how long, she looked really...'healthy'. "Name's Lilith..." the Necromancer finally spoke up from where she stood, done with admiring Anna's fine appearance. "...Guess you'll be joining us on our little multidimensional, murderous trip?"

Dino glanced over to Lilith as she chipped into the conversation. He simply threw the China Lake atop his shoulder, resting it on and holding it with his left hand.

"Long story short, I blew up stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary really." he stated joyfully but in a humble manner. He then turned back towards Anna.

"Well if you're to join our jolly little killing crew, introductions are a must." Dino carelessly took the cross off his shoulder and put it down. With a quick move he rotated the mechanism and the device opened. Without ever taking his eyes off Anna, he snuck the China Lake back into its compartment deep inside the cross and simply moved the mechanism back in its place, closing it. After his cross was sealed, he turned his attention fully to Anna.

"My name is Daniel O'Hara, but call me Dino." He grabbed her hand and shook it with energy, a big smile painted on his face.

"Oh and I do get that a lot. But thank you for the compliment, love."

Complete and utter darkness was all Celestial saw, or rather, didn't see. His encounter with Abra was short, but it resulted in him losing his other eye. He wanted to cry, but he had no eyes to cry with. An unreasonably cruel punishment for calling someone an asshole, but he should've known better. He took a deep breath and followed the sound of the rest of the group, wondering how he was going to survive the rest of this journey.

"So," his voice cracked from the lump in his throat. "So, where are we? And describe it to me 'cause I'm fucking blind."

Anna smiled and wrapped her arms around her chest, swaying at the thought of having made a new friend. She shook Matthew's hand next, still a little overwhelmed with all of the interesting characters next to her. "Hello, Matthew, I'm Annabeth! My favorite color is blue, and I love cats!" Turning back to Dino, she told the tall man, "I'm not much of a fighter to be honest. I love hearing stories of real warriors and their triumphant victories, though!" Making sure not to forget about Lilith, she smiled at the woman, "Nice to meet you too! I really like your outfit. I bet you're amazing." Anna smiled eagerly at the other woman, before looking around for Castro. After doing a quick head count and realizing he was nowhere to be found, it was decided that she would need a new champion. She pointed at Dino and smiled, "I choose you, Mr. O'hara, to be my new champion!" Giggling ever so innocently, she added, "No take backsies!"

She glanced over at Celestial and noticed his odd behavior, and his missing eye. He had no life threatening injuries, and even if he did, Anna would not intervene.
