Asgardian Gethsemene, Part 2b (Sarah, Liv, Jason, Meggan)
As the search party gets through the last portal of the series they were magically -- and very, very rapidly -- forced through... well, in terms of what the Tallus said darkness and flames are definitely covered.

Meggan pauses a moment to take in the feel of the place... and cringes. "Should've stayed at the end of the world...."

"Especially until I had time to ask the Enchantress for help with focusing the locator... but no help for it now."

Sarah lifts Mjolanir, trying to home in on the strongest sources of magic around her, seeing if any of them feels the remotest bit familiar, and really wishing she had some serious time for lessons on handling this thing for delicate tasks like this.

Liv pulled a knife out of a boot and clutched it. She scanned the area while Sarah did whatever it was she was doing.

The glider would have been too loud for this operation, so Jason moved along on foot with the others. He joined the others in warily searching the area, hands tingling with the beginnings of infernal energy to be unleashed on anything that jumped them.

Mjolnir will feel a little like a metal detector in an iron mine. There's magic everywhere. But in terms of signals, there's a particularly ridiculously strong one not terribly far to the north.

Meggan tries to pay attention, even with all the darkness. "Do you hear footsteps?" It won't be a question once those steps turn into stomping, also from the north.

Sarah pauses, listening carefully - then the need for straining disappears.

"I... think I know those footsteps... oh no... this might be... really rough."

"I think we're in the Dark Dimension... Dormammu's realm. I've heard those once before... if I'm right, they're called Mindless ones. They're... like Thing, or Colossus strong." she starts, trying to find references most people will follow. "Almost invulnerable. I fought a horde of them on my second day on this job... and have never been able to forget."

Well Liv felt a little useless here. She had a knife. Knife vs invulnerable meant the knife loses. She kept quiet and kept a watch for anything coming toward them.

"Okay, so what did we do. How did you get out of the mess your second day?" Meggan keeps listening, looking around, getting a little furrier, a little taller, without even noticing.

Sarah takes every second the slow opponents will give them.

"Mjolnir can hurt them, even if it takes a bit. These guys are strong and tough, but their name is accurate - no skills, no tactics. Aikido works really well, and if they get trapped, knocked over, tangled up... they just try and bull their way loose.

Slow them down any way you can. Knock them over, get them turned around, dodge around and occupy them so they can't gang up... and I'll see about starting to thin the numbers. I can't handle more than four... maybe five at a time, lack of skills or not... but I'll catch up. We needed teamwork last time, even if most folks couldn't scratch their hides. It should work fine this time too... just keep them busy and take advantage of them being slow and single minded."

"Keep them busy?" Jason shakes his head once in resignation, his glider materializing under his feet as he took to the air. Fiery pumpkin bombs formed in hands. "Well, here goes nothing." He then sent a barrage of the bombs at the ground in the Mindless Ones' path, creating small dents in the ground, enough to trip anyone walking straight ahead.

As much as there's many downsides to this fight, the nice part about this, for Sarah, is that she doesn't have to hold back or worry about great opposing tactics. She can unload with everything - and needs to.

She starts with a wind up, building up power and energy, then flings the hammer at the first creature in range, trying to bowl it over into others.

She follows right after the hammer, flying with fists extended in a full charge.

Meggan takes to the air and takes the opposite flank from Sarah, trying to take advantage of the stumbling created by the dents in the ground to come down and knock one over.

Uneven ground. Mjolnir going for a cascade on one side, and Meggan and Liv attacking on the other. They don't all go down, but many do, and as the attack continues, there's a chance to figuratively pick up the spare.

Liv didn't dare attack them head on. Instead she struck at their legs, hoping to trip them up and knock them over.

And fall more do, though heavy fists and feet lash out towards each of their attackers as they do. The path is fairly blocked by the huge poweful bodies struggling to get up.

Sarah has gotten a lot of practice in since the last time she fought these things, with the hammer, and in general. She trusts the team to at least trip these things up, tie them up, and otherwise slow them down, while she works on keeping them that way - better teamwork, so far, than some of the Exiles teams she's worked with.

She lets the hammer cut loose, dropping lightning and hurricane winds into the back ranks of the Mindless Ones, not needing any particular finesse, so long as she stays in front of her teammates and directs everything forward.

"We're keeping them down, but how do we get past them." Meggan takes to the air, managing to stay stable in reaction to the storm-related air-currents quite naturally. "Should I check things out ahead?"

Jason takes out several razor-bats from his pouch.

"Go ahead, kid, I'll cover ya!" He calls out to Meggan before flinging the blades at Mindless Ones' eyes.

Sarah is true to her word. While the others slow, distract and trip up the horde, she does her part to put them down to stay - one or two at a time. She lets the lightning strike amidst their ranks, not trying to direct it beyond keeping it away from the Exiles. In this case, a target rich environment helps her.
She engages up close when she has to, but always uses her flight to never stay close for long, flinging the hammer at vulnerable targets, trying to thin the ranks bit by bit.

Liv kept trying to knock the Mindless Ones over. They counterattacked and Liv didn't move out of the way quick enough. The large hand caught her and she went flying backward, seeing stars.

And when Meggan returns, she's twitching and clutching and not staying in the air, landing and huddling on the far side of the mass of fallen and half-fallen mindless ones.

"I have bad news....!" she shouts over the sounds of explosions and lightning.
...the lightning raining down on the mindless ones doubles. "...and good news," Meggan finishes.

Sarah has gotten used to making herself heard over the storms - since she can't really control it, just direct it some.

"What's the bad news?" she calls, flinging the hammer again, this time towards the one near Liv. Distracted, she gets slammed backwards, but kicks back to her feet after just a moment to clear her head

The "bloody huge" fight was something of an understatement as the very land itself seemed to quake from the forces being unleashed in the distance. However, the cause of such awesome displays of power were caused by only two beings. One was an older, but large man fighting with spear and magic against a massive being in dark finery, topped by a flaming face.

"Your time has finally passed, Odin! How ironic it is that it is not the prophecy of Ragnarok that brings you low, but Dread Dormammu! On this day, I will be Sorceror Supreme of two worlds! Now crumble under my heel, old man!"

Dormmamu unleashed a new barrage of mystic force against Odin, who while at first holding his own, clearly seemed weakened as he buckled slightly against the assault.

"Whoa... big fight is right... That's Dormammu... I've... uhm, sort of encountered him once before. Guys, get ready to grab Odin."

And, just like last time she faced Dormammu, Sarah focuses, trying to draw in his magic towards Mjolnir. She has a /little/ more finesse and focus with this move than on their very first adventure as Exiiles... but its still a tremendous strain. But it might buy some time.

"Nnngghhh... can we... try and lure the Mindless Ones... towards him? They're... magic resistant..."

Meggan, who's looking a little bigger, a little darker, and a little more bestial than previous by this point, nods as well and gets herself back in the air, near the Mindless ones but high enough to be out of their reach. Mostly, let's start running, keep to the corners of things, just let the Mindless ones get a chance to get up again and start lumbering."

Sarah really hates to do this, but her finesse with lightning still isn't nearly what she'd like it to be. The only time she's had an almost perfect record is when drawing down lightning on top of herself.

So when she's absorbed enough power from the fight that she feels like Mjolnir... and her head... are about to burst, she charges.

She aims for a spot right next to the fight, trying to slam the hammer down on the ground while she has surprise, calling down a blast of lightning by Dormammu, charged with all the excess magic she's been absorbing to try and summon something that can actually phase him - then lifts her shield over her head, the only thing she has time for with the over-powered storm blast coming in, trusting the others to do their jobs and grab Odin -- and lead the Mindless Ones this way, so as Dormammu is recovering, he'll clear his eyes to find a magic resistant horde coming at him.

Its the only plan she can come up with right now.

And as Meggan heads into the nearly solid amount of magic, she gets an odd feeling. Like Sarah isn't the only one siphoning off the excess magic. As she and the others make their way towards Odin, that seems, while not remotely easy, not as impossible as it should.

And when the lightning slams down, it is followed up. Dormammu is distracted and jarred by two bolts, from opposite sides.

And as Dormammu is further delayed by looking up to face a Mindless stampede, the exiles will find themselves with an exhausted All-FAther and a staggered Thor.

Contact with both Aesir targets was made. Apparently, the terms of the teleport spell were fulfilled, and the group of Exiles -- andtheir targets -- vanished fro mthe Dark Dimension.
