Summary
Type: Combat/Story

Location: Guangzhou, China

Objective: This team wandered into a trap set by Sayuri's agents. Before the mortals could successfully arrest or eliminate the demigods, an unknown individual cut them down one by one and vanished as quickly as he appeared. It will be the task of whoever undertakes this mission to track down the killer, uncover his identity, and discover motives. Camp members in Guangzhou uncovered both valuable intel, and an interesting item. The intel mainly concerns the abilities of Pagos, though the item itself may lead to a mission itself. Item Found: Mysterious Cylinder - This item will need further examination before anything can be made of it.

Team Members

 * 1) Bianca Jenson/Jake (BC)
 * 2) Laureline Floraison/Queen (Camp)
 * 3) Holly Xu/Travel (Camp)
 * 4) Isaiah Davis/User:Nhlott (BC)

Crossover
Laurel and Holly walks over to Bianca and Isaiah.

Laurel: Nods, Bianca, Isaiah. I'm Laurel, motions towards Holly this is Holly. Shall we go now?

Holly waves at them.

Bianca: Bianca stays quiet and nods.

Isaiah: Sure, let's go.

Holly: Lead the way.

''The questers board the plane and after 15 hours, they land on New Baiyun Airport. Soon after, they reached Guangzhou.''

Laurel: Well, we're here. By the way, this is the item that our intel discovered on the last mission. Produces the black cylinder. Have any idea what is this?

Holly looks curiously at the black cylinder.

Holly: Laurel did the people at camp conduct any test on it?

Laurel: Not as far as I know. Or maybe it's just a plain cylinder, but why they made it seem important? Shakes the cylinder.

As she shakes it, the cylinder begins to hum, and its appearance begins to shift erratically; from mundane everyday objects like TV remotes and phones, to random forms like strangely twisted pieces of metal and stone to branches off of trees.

Isaiah: Yea, let's NOT shake it again....

The cylinder stops shifting and reverts to its original form, but not before a shadow breaks itself free from the object, manifests itself as a dark multi-limbed creature, and darts down a nearby alley.

Laurel: Her eyes widen in surprise. Whoa, what the hell was that? Looks around the other questers. Should we, umm, chase it, or...?

Isaiah: Yes. He shifts into minotaur form and chases after it full-speed.

Laurel: Fine. Follows Isaiah.

Holly: Wait for me. ''Holly follows after them, and after a few minutes catches up to Laurel. '' I am guessing this didn't happen at camp.

Bianca: Bianca writes 'Follow' in her notebook and her body is whisked towards the creature.

''The alley is cramped and dark, allowing for only two demigods to pass abreadth. The shadow creature is barely discernable against the dark background but can be seen hanging; suspended between the upper walls by its many legs. It looks at them, lashes its tail menacingly, and emits a low growl.''

Laurel: I definitely don't like this... Shoots rose thorns from her hand at the shadow creature.

Bianca: ''Bianca writes 'Light' in her notebook, and it starts to glow. She shines it on the dark creature''.

Isaiah: Yea, Laurel, you touch nothing from here on out....

Laurel: What is it?

Bianca: It's... a monster. I've never heard of anything like it.

Laurel: wrinkles her nose at it and prepares to try and restrain it with vines if it moves towards them

Isaiah: It smells horrid....So, you think it'll take a shot at us?

The creature allows both the thorns and the light to pass through it harmlessly, and then flings itself at the group with its claws extended.

Holly creates a dome of water around the group in order to block the creatures attack.

Bianca: Bianca quickly scribbles 'Freeze' in her journal, focusing the word on the creature.

''Before the creature even strikes the dome, it disperses into a fine mist, which then coalesces and is absorbed back into the cylindrical object. The object hums for a moment, and then falls silent.''

Holly: That was awesome!

Bianca: ''Bianca raises an eyebrow. Not exactly the word I would use... Bianca draws a quick sketch of the creature before closing the journal''.

Holly: Holly jumps up and down And whatever that thing was so cool, and looks the cylindrical is back. Holly then pick it up.

Laurel: What is it?

Holly: It the same cylinder thing that it was before, but at least we know what it does. Question is who create it?

Laurel: Frowns. My guess is someone with shadow/darkness powers. But what was the purpose? To keep monsters inside? Takes the cylinder from Holly. We need to test it, a shake releases a monster, what about a twist? Releases ivy from her hands to twist the cylinder.

''A great roaring fills the air, as if an enormous angry crowd had just been transplanted into the midst of the city. Along with the cheers come the smells of a burning city and around them, the neighboring buildings begin to break out into flames and appear dangerously damaged. Trash and rubble cover the ground of the alleyway, appearing as if they had been there all along, and the roaring; still distant on the air, seems to be drawing closer.''

Holly: Okay maybe shaking it wasn't the best idea Laurel.

Bianca:'' Bianca sighs and takes out the journal again, writing a series of words, hoping that one will work. 'Silence, stop, revert, return, disappear, begone, leave, halt.''

Nothing happens and the sound continues to grow in volume and intensity.

Holly: Holly covers her ears Laurel close the stupid cylinder.

Laurel: Holly, it doesn't have any openings! Should I twist it again?

Isaiah: (Through gritted teeth) This is why we don't play with scary black objects...

Holly: Yes twist it in the opposite direction Laurel.

Bianca: Hurry, maybe?

Laurel: Nods and twist in in the opposite direction.

Nothing changes, and the sound grows closer as the horizon above the buildings begins to glow an intense firey yellow-orange.

Laurel: Mon Dieu, should we get out of here? I can provide travel roses. I mean, I'm up to stay and fight, IF we know what are we fighting. Paces around and accidentally drops the cylinder to the ground. Oh, I'm not touching that thing anymore.

''The fire, the flames, and the noise vanish to be replaced with the same alleyway they previously occupied. The cylinder starts shifting appearances again as it lies on the ground.''

Holly: Holly grabs the cylinder Maybe we should learn more about this, before we touch it again. She then put it away.

Laurel: Okay, I'm glad we didn't just destroy a city. Points to the cylinder, That could be useful as a distraction, by the way. Oh, and the other team mentioned there was some kind of dark shape, like a cloud, in the sky when they were here, just saying.

Holly: No! Holly yelled as her happy exterior turned dark and angry. Until we learn more about this we will not use it no matter what the circumstances may be.

Laurel: Frowns. Fine, let's learn about this thing. What else do you want to do to it? We've tried shake and twist so far.

Holly: We need to know it's purpose, and who created it? Because shaking and twisting the darn thing is getting us no where.

Isaiah: Yo! Calm your ass down! He snatches the cylinder and shoves it in his backpack We're not worrying about it now. Let's focus on the mission as it stands.

Holly: Which is?

Isaiah: Good to know you don't pay attention..... To find and get intel on the guy that killed all those mortals on the last mission

Bianca: Do we have any leads, any clues?
