Psy stood to his feet, and bowed his head to the Goddess. Tuning out the spat between the bat and the fox.
"You are as charming and graceful as the ancient texts say you are."
He looked into her eyes and smiled at their warmth. He looked to the pictographs on the wall, then back to the Goddess.
"It's all here.. isn't it.. the entire fate of this universe is writen out on the walls of this temple."

Stealth snorted at the bat,he didnt like his arogant atitude. he turned to glare at the bat,still elaning on his staff as he looked him up and down as well. "The names Stealth Greyblade, Bounty Hunter ,former EDF Hunter Corps agent, and now a guy whos having to accept goddes like this wolfie over here exist."he said jerking a thumb back at the goddess, like she was some normal wolfess.
"and the reason Im here is that the lady over there said she had a task for me and wont let me in to complete my contract with the EDF. I think it has something to do with that boogeyman Syntaru."he said with a shrug and a slight smirk as his eyes darted from Shae to the hedgehog to the goddess despite his demenor he was shrewdly sizing them up. An old habit he had when dealing with paranormals wich was obviusly what they were.

"Mind your tongue Fox!" snapped Shae. "The demon Syntaru is more than a mere spectre of children's fears, he could very well bring about the destruction of all existence."
Shae clenched his fists.
"I know not why the Goddess has given you the grace of assisting her, but you will display respect for such a privillage." said Shae.
The Goddess, who was also tuning out Shae and Stealth's bickering for the moment, responded in turn to Psychosis.
"Not quite, Templar, your head is still clouded." said the Goddess, standing to her feet. "The writings here speak of only a fragment of the true destiny, the prophecy is divided up along with the shards of his SoulGem.. scattered to thirteen such holy grounds across the planet."
The Goddess walked over to Psychosis, placed her hand on his head and smiled.
"My poor child, your curse is a heavy one.. though I cannot cure this ailment, I can tell you this.. you will discover all t he answers you seek, when the time is right." said Aurora, clearing the hedgehog's dizzy head.

Stealth just rolled his eyes."Respect is earned not given, when the wolfie earns repect in my eyes then fine Ill give her what shes due and lemme tell ya scooping me up like a vaccume is not the way to go. And also pall fifteen minuets ago I didnt belive in syntaru so you can shut your trap and quite acting so high and mighty or I might be tempted to bring you off your high horse myself. got me bats."he said glaring icely at the vanguard. The bats arrogance was definatly getting on his nerves. he spoke down to him like he was some puny insect and then he was talking about respect, the nerve of the guy. Stealth just snorted at that thought and glanced back up at the temple as his ears swivvled back at the godess easedropping a bit. So there were 12 more of those suckers. mabey EDF satalites would be picking those up as well if this one activated.

Psychosis sighed a heavy breath as his head was cleared, he could once again focus his Psionic energy.
"Thank you my Lady, I am blessed by your radiance."
Psychosis walked over to the edge of the Temple balcony. He stared out into the Forest, closed his eyes and scanned the vast plains.
"The others.. still lost they are.. the Dhole.. she fell behind the Fox's trail.. the blind Echidna.. he draws closer.. slowly.. but steadily.. your remaining guardians will soon arrive."
He stopped, took a deep breath.
"There is something else in the air.. something.. cold.. stale.. like the grip of Death itself.. I cannot distinguish what it is."

"You little worm!! Your ignorance blinds you, to such length that you wouldst speak down to your very creator?" snapped Shae. "You should be taught a stern lesson in obedience.. I would gladly be the one to do so.."
Aurora rolled her eyes.. letting the two settle their own differences, they would snap out of it when the situation became dire, for now, they could bicker to their heart's content. To their South, Gulo contemplated sitting against his tree, thinking amidst the shouting at the temple peak.
"Now, judging from the power the Wolf displayed, she's no ordinary Mobian.. deception might be my only course of action.. maybe if I can lower their gaurd I can make a move for whatever's inside that temple.." said Gulo, protruding his claws through his gloves.
This was his plan, so he rose to his feet and dashed towards the temple, he threw a few flash grenades behind him to make it seem as though he were being attacked, then leapt from the ground, away from the blasts and carefully crashing onto the steps of the temple.

Stealth growled and stook a step forward twords the bat,placing his staff in both hands as he glared at the bat."Watch your mouth ya flying rat. What part of the fact I didnt belive in her fifteen minuets ago dont you get! Also I wouldnt be talking about repect with the way your talking down to me. I didnt spend my life bashing the heads of thugs paracriminals and looney mages just to be talked down to by some arogant bat, now if ya want to settle this like males then fine with me."he growled as he got close into the bats space. His mouth opened as if to say something else but the explosion of the flashbangs cut him off. He turned twords the noise and frowned."what now!"

The shadow walker stopped in mid-stride. He had an odd feeling as he stood there unanimated. Was this the chance that Syntaru had been talking about? Andre's cape was jerking this way and that more than usual. His foot stamped down on the void's floor, and he crossed his arms in contemplation. Would he have his chance sooner than he figured? He hoped so. All he had to do was wait, now.

The attention shifted at the top of the Temple.. all parties present were now focused on the concussive blasts, and the crashing of a light brown Wolverine onto the temple steps.
"My Lady.. shall I tend to him?" asked Shae.
"No, I shall recoop him myself.." replied the Goddess.
She formed a small pocket of air which sifted beneath the limpid body of the Wolverine lifting him up to their level. She knelt beside him, placing a hand on his head, seemingly restoring his vitality. Gulo sat up, sputtering dust from the blast he planted.
"*cough*Th-thank you.. I-I don't know what happened.. one moment I was following this bright light I saw.. the next a group of raiders started attacking me.. I-I barely escaped that last blast.. they probaly have this place surrounded by now." played Gulo.
The Goddess knew well enough that he was lying. But to Shae and the fox, it was more likely believeable. The Templar had probaly also sensed the falsity in teh Wolverine's words.
"Take head, child, we shall take care of it.. Shae, Stealth, search for these raiders, if you find them, deal with them." said Aurora. ~Templar, stay here with me, keep watch on this one.. his treachery is boundless..~ (OOC: using "~" for telepathic messages.)
Shae simply nodded to the Goddess and slide down the side of the temple steps, summoning his quarter staff to his hands, carefully surveying the area around the temple.

Stealth grunted and looked down the side of the temple, sniffing the air before running down the steps staff in hand as he followed the bat, eyes darting through the foilage as he looked around finaly reaching the bottom of the steps."Ya know..I dont smell raiders, just residue from the explosions."he said shaking his head before glancing up at the bat. "Why dont you take the air and see what you can come up with while I seach the undergrowth."He suggested petty difrences pushed aside for only the task at hand mattered.

At Eggman's Fortress the traveler smirked and bowed. But he didn't seem impressed by Eggman's threats nor was he having to summon up an courage to remain standing in such an unusual locale, just when the Doctors attention was else where he heard a melodous voice that would have sent shivvers down his spine if he wasn't robotic and made entirely out of metal.
"A quaint notion dear Doctor that some door to door salesman would brave your mechanical madness just to sell you a set of mustache trimmers.
You are indeed not the only villain in town, but I find dealing with His kind generally leave one wanting and short several body parts. Besides, if I go into the relationship KNOWING you're going to stab me in the back I'd rather it be a robotic assassin than some sort of demonic army hounding me through out the zones.
But this is a moot point, I want to work for you good Doctor, and the only thing I'm selling is death to anything that has warm blood coursing through it's vains. The more innocent and pure the better."
The smile grew wider, the fangs of his heritage showing slgihtly.
Meanwhile;
High above the temple Syth looked down, it seemed every bloody major player was either down there in person or had sent some serious representatives.
"Ugh, I have no wish to be confronted again with the Light Princess. Same old arguement same old result. Come my Shadow, speak for me as a neutral party and find out what you can, I will remain here away from Her Holiness' stinging light and the bloody Psy-hog."
Where once Shade could peel right away from master he seemed sluggish in parting from Syth. Though once seperated he seemed fine, the deathog looked worse for wear but whether it was just the summoning of his living darkness or just his continual atrophy couldn't be discerned. After a quaint salute, the dark copy of Syth fluttered down to the temple grounds, like an obsidian leaf having parted ways from some great tree in the clouds.
After a few minutes, the shadow touched down at the base fo the steps that lead up to the temple. Shade kept his distance, where were some serious folks about and while he may speak for his master, he certainly didn't have nearly the same ammount of power he used to. . .

(OoC: I'll use the same way of telepathy, Shae.)
Psy simple nodded to the Goddess, receiving her telepathic message. He turned to look down at the Wolverine, staring into his eyes, reading his past and his present.
~Hmm.. he has been made to believe he is the son of Dr. Eggman, his life is filled with false truths, deception, and misery.. this poor soul.. his current mission is to retrieve the SoulGem.. Eggman believes it has use as a weapon power supply.~

Shae grunted and nodded to Stealth before leaping to the air, unknowing to the arrival of the Shadow. He passed ore the treetops, seeing nothing but a few jays, sparrows and a few flickies. The Goddess, however was quite aware to Shade's presence..
"Templar, tend to Gulo.. I have another matter." said Aurora, as she descended the temple steps. "Shade, to what do I owe the displeasure of your presence here on our plain?"
Gulo looked wearily at the black hedgehog near him, he knew now that he was a Templar, and was probably aware of his lie. He had to think of a way to get rid of this nuesence so he could steal the power source.
Back at the Egg Dome...
"Hmm.. I could actually use a pair of moustache trimmers.." said Eggman, unaware that his finger was still on the intercom button. "Hmph.. you're a presumptuous little.. err.. what exactly are you anyway?"
