(Hopefully this format for the journey won't mess things up. Cause I choose trucks since they would be kinda easier to fight around than a limo :3 and then I choose the underground train to continue...) "Come on time to go," Mr. Sullivan told his daughter sadly as he opened the door to her room. Tori Sullivan smiling back slightly, trying to be optimistic. Her hazel eyes though didn't have the smile. The girl wore her faded black skinny jeans and a white blouse, a black jean jacket, and a elegant silver chain with a pink and white flower hanging delicately off the chain.
"Ready." she told her father grabbing her white backpack. Her guards having already taken her suitcases to the car. Mr. Sullivan looked out at the 3 identical trucks in the front of his yard. Jackie Robbin in a car with some sort of assistant, and the other 2 trucks had some children of Ares.
On a motorcycle another girl followed. Irissia Jones, Aphrodite having told Mr. Sullivan she had sent the guard, knowing she wa very skilled. Mr. Sullivan knowing something would be dangerous about the journey had hired the team. The trucks would take them to a underground train system leading Tori safely to Virginia where she would have a car waiting to drive her the whole way there. Mr. Sullivan would be following in his private plane. "I'll see you there." Mr. Sullivan told his daughter walking her out the door and to the car with Jackie Robbins, knowing the girl was an assasin and if anything went wrong would be able to protect her.
"Ok..." Tori replied giving her dad a quick hug good bye before walking out the door and towards the black truck. The engine roaring to life as she entered. |

Leon was on top of the building, being able to jump from roof to roof because of his impenetrable skin. He could jump from wherever and land on his steel hands or feet. Sure, his shoes would take some damage, but they were just shoes. As the cars started, he looked down at Irissia. Time to go. He slipped down the side of the building, leaping over to the street. "Thanks for doing this, Cain." He said quietly to a hanging shadow. The centaur peeked out from the corner nervously. "No problem! Anything to help an old friend. I mean, I owe you my life ten times!" Leon leapt onto his friend's back, and they took off after. The shrouding Mist made them nearly invisible to everyone...except for monsters. "But anyway, I'm glad your coming over to stay, Leon!"

Jackie watched the girl enter. The assasin arching and eyebrow at the girl who didn't seem to be armed at all. Well then again it's my job to do the fighting for her... she thought shaking her head slightly "Hello," she muttered sitting by the window ready for any sort of attack. The assasin having been through so many killings that she even had experience climbing onto a car and shooting while it's moving, she could even fight with her dagger while trying to stay balanced.
She looked over to where Carter was, the demigod having decided to come along as well. "This is my friend Carter, I'm Jackie." she told Tori simply.

Carter, who had met this demigod in his mortal form while with Leon, knew this girl knew his secret. Seeing her approach the vehicle he and Jackie were in, he pulled up the hood to his jacket, his arms crossed. Glancing over at Tori, he waved, kindly, returning his attention to the road and his thoughts. There was no telling what lay ahead of them but, hopefully, the journey wouldn't be too difficult. After all, just how powerful could this Kim character be?
His hand on his scimitar, he sat looking fairly relaxed but he was still very alert and ready to spring at any time. It was true mortals always exaggerated danger. However, even if this was all exaggerated, with the amount of precaution this one man was taking for his daughter the danger would be great no matter how fabricated this danger was, it was danger nonetheless.

Kim was headed for the demigod, the scent of the Aphrodite kid strong with the presence of so many monsters nearby. She wondered why there were so many surrounding the girl. Immediately after the thought, she realized the motive of the monsters. Kim picked up the scents of several monsters, the demigod, and perchance two mortals. Mortals?! She hadn't been expecting them. However, there was no time to waste on worrying about what she didn't expect, for it was too late to back down. She knew that in the time she had wasted throwing useless monsters to go fight them, Leon had probably healed. She also knew that those monsters were rather weak, and that they'd most likely perish. They couldn't even hit her once; it was simply amusing to see them fail.
She picked up her pace once she sensed the presences of the monsters. It'd be troublesome, but it wasn't like she couldn't take down Leon again. What kind of monsters could be more powerful than Leon, the only one who'd ever defeated her. Even if he had defeated before, deep down she felt that it was a fluke. That one time, he'd caught her off guard with cheap tactics. Kim put her right hand on the pouch where she carried her daggers, approaching where the scent was while disguising her own with the snake daggers' scent, knowing that snakes were most likely not going to be near them. Then, the monsters would notice. However, there was a more probable chance of them thinking it was another monster.
(Sorry, I have no idea what will happen. o3o)

(Just...swarm her trucks with monsters. idk. Maybe get the staff to play some, or play them yourself.)
Leon caught a scent, staring at the trucks for any sign of nearing movement, but he the scent struck him as familiar, way too familiar...Was that venom? Oh, Tartarus, it was Kim. "Take me there, Cain! And then you'd better hide." Sensing the urgency in his tone, the centaur obeyed with a nod. He could sense that his friend was nervous.
Immediately, he directed him behind the truck, catching sight of Kim. They happened to be in an area with a bunch of motorcycles ready to be hotwired. Shoot. "Nice seeing you again. Can't get enough of me, sis?" The son of the Nemean Lion raised a provocative brow at the arriving monster. Soon enough, he knew, the rest of her group would be coming.

(Urrrrm, okay.)
She curled her upper lip into a sinister smile. The other monsters would arrive soon, but she felt inside that she herself was enough. The others would be a bother. However, according to one very convincing monster that was perchance more cunning than she, it had a score to settle with one of the monsters near the truck that she'd never met before.
"Oh, no wonder I caught the scent of fear mixed with disgusting odors." Kim knew not to let her half-brother provoke her. Provocative people dug their own graves. She scented an unfamiliar monster, along with the scent of the human-loving monster. The stench of the demigod was strong, and she let out an involuntary growl.
Coming from behind her was the group of monsters that she'd rounded up; the monsters were probably going to be entirely useless, seeing as she'd heard the archer never missed a shot, and that her half-brother was a conniving genius and a master of the sneakiest ways. She didn't have any data on the other monster, but another monster was already on the way. Unfortunately, she didn't have time to toy with the unfamiliar monster; someone had already called dibs. Someone she hoped would be stronger than the children of Echidna, Kampe, and Sphinx that had just come up behind her.
"You're late. I left way after you fools, and you just arrive?" She turned around to face them, her glare intense.
"B-b-but..we didn't expect demigods to hunt us!" One of the pathetic Sphinx children whimpered.
"You lot are supposed to be monsters, and you can't even handle a little bit of prey? I warned you weaklings about guards." She turned to face one of the more stoic Sphinx children and rolled her eyes. "Control the weak ones in your group." The monster flinched at her directly addressing him, and saluted her immediately. Kim chuckled underneath her breath. She was like a general, except for the fact that her soldiers were foolish and probably extremely weak. They'd be a nice distraction as well as an amusing attraction, though, and Kim loved to see others suffer.
"Yes, ma'am," said the eldest Sphinx child, even though she was much older than Kim. Kim wondered how old these monsters thought she was.
She signaled the children of Kampe to surround the truck, letting the others hang back to keep others away from the battle between her and Leon to come. Swiftly, she struck the still-whimpering Sphinx kid in the face. "Man up, kid." He was acting like a pitiful mortal, seeing as the Mist wasn't really doing its job. It was okay with Kim, though. This would scar some mortals-the more, the better. Suffering all around-today really was her day. The rest of the Sphinx children flocked around the Kampe children for back up.
Kim turned away to face Leon, but raised her right hand and snapped, signalling them to attack.
The Kampe children clawed the trunk, leaping onto the sides of it and piercing the sides with their tails. Some of the others that held back for a second attack after their siblings destroyed the defenses hooted and cheered, their morbid lust for blood ridiculously exaggerated.
(Urm, is that okay? o:)

(Yup...but you spelled Sphinx wrong, lol.)
Leon watched, eyes narrowed as the monsters began to arrive one by one. They swarmed the sides of the street, some of the more lithe ones hopping onto the motorbikes and hotwiring them with claws. He really hoped Jackie and Irissia could hold up. He caught a slight familiar scent, and then blinked. What was Arcane doing here? He pinpointed his friend in the truck with Jackie and Tori. Good. He trusted her to be safe now.
Soon enough, some of the demigod guards raced out of the house. to engage the monsters from behind. The trucks screeched away. Leon wasn't going to follow. "Kim, how about we replay our last encounter? I'm in the mood to dance." With that, he unsheathed his sword, the light reflecting a gleaming golden, and charged. He spun through the air, slicing a monster that had stepped in front to intercept him in half.
Meanwhile, pedestrians started screaming and backed up, clogging the streets and the way of the cars. Some demigods were thickening the Mist around the mortals with a snap of their fingers, making them clear a way for escape. He wondered what kind of crazy story they were going to make up after seeing all this. But for now, they had all began to calm down and walk away from the area like they hadn't seen and couldn't see the big brawl in the middle of the road. The just left an empty space for them.

Tori jumped when something clashed against the truck. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" she bellowed at Jackie and Arcane terrified. She jumped as foreign monsters started clawing at the truck. The daughter of Aphrodite squeezing away from the doors and closer to Jackie. Her mortal guard and her friend, a hooded figure. She frowned slightly at him not knowing wether or not she would be safe now...

Irissia Jones spun out her bow and pulled out her arrows. The children of Kampe were already tearing at the truck, pulling the string she shot down the closest monsters with one arrow. Not even bothering to see if they hit, knowing they would, as she pulled back another arrow to shot down the next two monsters. She felt nothing about killing them. She didn't care for monsters.
The daughter of Laelaps' focus though was mostly on keeping the motorcycle from crashing into the trucks ahead of her. She was dressed in casual clothing, worn jeans, a red plaid shirt, white tank top, and a brown leather jacket with matching brown leather shoes. Both of which are old, but don't appear as old as they really are.
Irissia watched one of the trucks crash down as the monsters tore it, but Tori's truck remained safe. Irissia tagging close to it and shooting arrows even at the monsters she couldn't see with the speed of the cars. Irissia watched them speed up and having to press the gas harder on her motorcycle so they can get out of the city quicker.

Kim rolled her eyes at the monsters' pathetic attempts at approaching the demigod's truck. If I was a true evil villain, these'd be my henchmen, Kim thought, scoffing underneath her breath.
The monsters were truly impatient, rampaging the wrong trucks. She watched as the archer took them out one by one. None of the monsters seemed to notice their siblings being ripped away from life. Groaning, she faced Leon again.
A child of Kampe had spotted Irissia, crawling away and stealthily tailing her. He was slightly intrigued by the archer, having heard that she never missed a shot. Well, near him, he'd heard he was the fastest child of Kampe. He trailed behind Kampe secretly, carefully masking his scent and muffling his sound, thinking in his mind how much his siblings would respect him for killing the archer.
Kim saw a monster tailing Irissia through her peripheral vision and sighed. He was no match for her, and Kim honestly wanted to slap him in the face. She wasn't fond of Irissia or anything, but she hated it when other monsters looked down on someone stronger than them...except when she was the one looking down on them.

She didn't seem to reflect his intention to fight. She was just going for Tori. Angrily, he turned, stabbing a dracanae in the gut and then leaping away towards the trucks. The one with Irissia was going to be secure, that he knew. But the one with demigod guards and the other with Tori...he wasn't so sure. Would Jackie be able to handle it? He swung himself onto the truck, catching a grip quickie on the iron bar at the back. He swung himself on top just as the trucks pulled away with a screech of tires.
Leon was on top, slashing and hacking at the Kampe children that had decided to hang on, hissing at him. "Get...off!" He growled, knocking one away with the hilt of his sword and then driving his imperial golden blade into. Another. He blocked a punch with his metallic arm, and slammed his fist back into the monster's gut. He could see his eyes bulging from the impact. It was like getting a solid hammer whack. But the truck were off, heading out of the city quickly. Soon enough, they were on a rural road, with monsters trailing behind with hijacked motorcycles. He couldn't see Kim just yet. But he could scent his own ride, Cain, speeding through the trees, staying hidden while watching. Leon,in this whole time, was holding off a pair of Sphinx kids.

Kim stood there, bored. She had no opponents at the moment, so all she could do was stand there, useless. The other monsters could lose all by themselves. She depicted the scent of a centaur, which was mouthwatering to some monsters, and pondered on if she should go kill it so the others wouldn't be distracted. However, her pride decided otherwise. If she went after it, it'd look like she was running away, or going for a small kill and ditching the others. Instead, she tried to sniff out what the other monster was. Kim knew that the monster was someone else's prey, but she still was curious who her older brother had befriended.

An arrow for two. Irissia's canine nose caught the sense of a approaching monster. Pulling back an arrow she shot it ahead, and as if by magic it turned around. She never missed a shot so she could shot at any direction and it would hit her target, this arrow piercing through the son of Kampe and continuing as it just went though it ripping with it the life of the monster and making it burst into dust. The arrow hitting its final opponent another child of Kampe before she zipped forward. The truck she had been guarding was now just filled with children of Ares on the rear shooting arrows at their targets, despite the fact half the time they missed and had to use their swords.
When they reached the rural road Irissia leaned forward the motorcycle moving faster as she reached the truck Leon was on "Need help?" she called up turning her blue eyes to him for a moment but her focus was on the trees. Her best chance was to ditch the motorcycle. If she ran into a tree...well Irissia had never reformed before so she had no idea if she actually could. Or how long it would take.
Glancing behind her she caught sight of some other cycling monsters. A smile flashing on her face. Hitting the brakes sharply behind her she jumped off the motorcycle hitting the ground as a giant husky as her sleek black motorcycle skidded running into another cycle and sending the monsters flying off with the crash. That should slow some down. She thought running towards Leon.
The over sized husky reached the truck, the dog seemed more like a wolf her white teeth flashing dangerously as she snapped at a nearby child of Kampe making the coward wince at the sight. Glancing upwards she jumped, grabbing a hold of the rear in her mortal form she slung on. "Well that makes things easier." she told Leon with a grin before pulling out another arrow and shooting down two approaching enemies.

Carter/Arcane looked around the vehicle, watching each monster as it leaped onto the truck. He glanced at Tori, briefly, before he noticed Leon had hopped onto the rear, fending off the monsters that attacked. He wanted, desperately, to join him but he had to keep his cover. He was far more concerned about his friendship with Jackie than a worthless demigoddess who couldn't even defend herself. Still, losing either would be disastrous for his social life. Either way, he'd lose a friend - Jackie or Leon.
With one last look out the windows, he turned to Jackie. "Can you handle Tori from the inside?" he asked in a near whisper, hoping Tori wouldn't recognize him as he knew she'd probably begin to panic or something. Most demigods did when they encountered a monster who had wanted to eat her, before. Honestly, Arcane still did want to eat her. Things would be so much simpler if he could.
