Blazen's flames flew up, over and landed under the bridge because of the sudden change in stance for the cyborg. Blazen stared at first, cautious. He glanced a couple times at Morph then kept his attention at the cyborg. He took a step forward. The ground beneath him whispered in the awkward silence that would follow for a moment after. He then came to a steady stride, stopping only once or twice to be sure it wasn't a trap. Finally Blazen would be arm's length away. Blazen would give another glance at Morph then would tap the head of the cyborg.
If nothing would happen Blazen would turn to Morph quickly and: "Ok, get this guy frozen, tied up, short circuited, or something. We need to find out who he is...maybe even take him to an admin if this guy doesn't check out." Blazen would then suggest. He was cautious still and would jump away at the slightest movement of the cyborg.

The great flashing of flames was an odd and yet flashy sight, he had to admit, with the twister suddenly dissipating as the cyborg focused on his attack. The Alpha-ranked technique had obviously had its effect, though not really the typical one that he would have expected. Still though, it was far better than nothing and it had done the trick of getting the cyborg out of a good enough condition to do battle with them.
As the cyborg stood still on its spot and Blazen walked over to it to tap it on the head. Morph braced himself, expecting a trap, but if nothing would come, he would not be all too much surprised. Paranoia was not really a good friend, but care was. He would nod at Blazen as he would come closer. "I think I have a slight hunch though." He said to his flaming friend. "The images... they seemed to be almost as if made from the point of view of Zane." His voice dropped to a whisper to make sure that the cyborg would catch as little as possible of his words, if it could.

Blazen looked at the cyborg then back at Morph then to the cyborg again. He thought about it, looked at the cyborg closely and thought. He took a step back and took a walk around the machine. It wasn't entirely impossible. Hell a guess was better then a mess.
"So you're suggesting this thing is Zane." Blazen stated. He thought again. "Wasn't he dangerous?" Blazen couldn't remember too well, but only that Zane had just attacked them, be it willingful or not. If this thing was dangerous that meant two things: 1) Perhaps this was a problem that should be reported to the Admins. 2) Fun.
If they brought the cyborg to the admins, then maybe they could extract the Zane within. Or maybe they'd delete him, depending on their standing of the situation. Maybe he was a glitch to the game or just to the character.
If the cyborg woke up however. The kickassery could continue on Blazen's part until the thing shut down again or maybe until it was a pile of goo. Maybe.
"So he must still be in there right?" Blazen then suggested knocking on the metallic head with a couple of low thuds.

Morph gave Blazen a blank stare as his eyebrows practically made a horizontal line above his eyes, surprised and irritated at the display Blazen put up. "You honestly don't recall Zane?" He muttered, before letting out a sigh that sounded a little annoyed. "Good ol' buddy Zane. He used to be part of our little group back in the Beta. Shy summoner guy with a love for robots, saw Jaden as his rival? Both of them were in that group along with you and me and Juno. Don't you recall the days of the Calmwaters Crew? 't Least, I think that's what we called ourselves back then..." He shook his head, being slightly unsure of all the events back in those days himself. He just hoped Blazen didn't recall the... less easy moments, such as when he had to knock him out in the afterlife of the Nightmare Realm.
"At any rate, Zane was our friend, but it doesn't much appear this guy knows us, or knows Zane. I don't know where he got that data from, but it is rather eerie that it's all from Zane's point of view..." Morph slowly walked around the catatonic cyborg. "I suppose we might find out more later, but we will first have to restrain him and get him out of this wide open space. Do you... think we should hand him over to the big guys?" He asked his pyro companion, turning his head towards him.

Blazen rubbed his chin in thought as he gazed into the eye of the cyborg. Blazen looked the thing over again. It was dangerous, maybe too dangerous. Maybe the big guys would need to see this, to evaluate it and give an explanation. Then he thought about what could happen to Zane if maybe they thought he was too dangerous. Deletion. Hmmm...For a moment Blazen had some wild wisdom. Some crazy sanity.
"You have some sort of form that you can control like earth or plants or something? If you can, tie him up via some vines or something. Entomb him in some rock maybe. If you need me to I could melt the rocks around him to keep it secure. I don't think he'd melt with it. Or Ice, that'd word to I think." Blazen began, that should take care of the binding part. It may keep him movable to. Now where to move this thing? Blazen smirked.
"Morph...let's take him to Hell."

Morph could only nod his head slowly as Blazen spoke. He had had such an idea to restrain the cyborg, should it be necessary--and that it was. He didn't have any techniques based around the elements of either Earth or Wood that could do the trick, but he figured that he could get the job done with careful and subtle application of some Ice techniques, putting it to a new and original use.
When Blazen made his suggestion about where to move the Zanebot to, however, Morph's expression twisted into one of estranged confusion mixed with a hint of being upset. "Hell? You mean, the downstairs department? Not too sure about that, mate, but..." He let out a sigh. "I guess we have little choice. I have only Ice techniques that could restrain him, and a perfect Darkness-based one, but that would require more energy. We best be careful not to put him someplace too hot."
His armour flashed colours as it changed into a clear cyan shade. He approached the cyborg he came to have identified as Zane, or a being with his memories at any rate, and stretched out his hands, white particles of icy dust sparkling off of them as he came to touch the metal body. As his hands moved around and applied the Ice the cyborg slowly became encased in a somewhat thin, but strong enough layer of frost to keep him contained. "This might also keep his processors shut down for a bit, I guess." Morph muttered. At least, until a survival program kicks in and overheats the whole shit.
Being nearly done with the job, Morph glanced at Blazen. "How do you plan on getting to Hell anyway?"

"Morph, you should know better. As king I have unlimited access to the area." Blazen turned and waved a hand. He expected a hole to magically appear. It would be black for a moment then turn into a view of hell from up above. It didn't come. Blazen frowned and tried again. Nothing. Something must have happened while he was away. Something to stop such easy access to the limited accessed area. Blazen thought again. Maybe...Blazen waved his hand again, but this time with a different intent.
From the ground grew a slab of earth and in the earth a doorway. Figured. Blazen walked up to the door to be sure, opened it and sure enough. A stairway that winded down and down and down to hell. It was open, but jumping from this height seemed like a very bad idea. It was quite a fall. Besides if they simply threw the ice down, it would break. Blazen then leaned out of the doorway and looked down at Hell. His home. His sanctuary. There would be people waiting here to. Lucifer, Hades, Pyra. Looking around Blazen still only saw an empty wasteland of dirt and earth. It looked almost like mars from here. He didn't see something though. The rivers of lava. This was a good thing. The heat from the lava could have melted the ice. Blazen couldn't see any from where he was so the ice wouldn't melt any faster.
"Looks like we take the hard way, unless you want to kill yourself." Blazen said as he turned back to Morph leaning against the doorway. He looked at Zane now. How to move him? How to do it without breaking the ice? Without melting it? The thought of an ice slide occurred to Blazen. Problem? The momentum might make them lose the cyborg and he'd crash somewhere, turn on, run off, and they'd lose him. Not exactly the best situation. Blazen bit his tumb in thought. Could...Blazen catch it? He could try it. He'd probably come out of it with bruises on his hands and chest. Still, who's to say it still wouldn't break? Well at least then he could keep an eye on the guy. Blazen pushed himself off the doorway.
"I think I've got an idea. If you can make an ice ramp, I could slide down and wait at the bottom. There I could catch the thing after you push it. If it breaks at least I can keep an eye on him. Besides, you should be right behind in case I get knocked out or something. How's that sound?" Blazen suggested, very open to ideas.

He watched on simply as Blazen attempted to create a gateway to the realm he was strongly affiliated with, after the other young man had spoke his words and assured him that he could. A failed attempt at first, the pyro finally managed to succeed once he brought up a slab of earth and a doorway appeared. When Blazen explained his plan further to him, he did not know how to react at first.
Morph's eyes narrowed a little, not in the angry manner but moreso in the tired manner. He shook his head as his lips pressed together firmly. "Sorry man, no can do." He said to Blazen, raising his hands a little bit. "I haven't learned any sort of technique that could easily do that. Creating a ramp of ice by simply focusing the element would take us days to get down totally. Can't we just, I dunno, fly down?"
Speaking of which, Morph moved over to the portal that Blazen had created and looked through it at the long and winding stairs of stone and rock. The absence of much of the fire and brimstone associated with the infernal realm bode a lot of good in getting the frozen cyborg hidden within the other dimension. His face looked contemplative and slightly worried about what would happen if they did try to bring him all the way down. It would be a long journey just on foot, and then they still needed a way to bring him along. His gauntlets could protect him from the cold of his own ice, and being of the ice element himself obviously would also help, but the lifting and all that towered above him like a mountain that he wished not to climb. He glanced back at his old friend. "Can you fly?"

Blazen rolled his shoulders, seeming uncomfortable or nervous. He looked to the ground, almost embarrassed. He was the God of Fire, able to make fire do just about anything to a certain extent. As long as it was his own as well.
"Well..." Blazen began a bit uneasily, "I can't really...fly...I can just ease up a landing, that's it." He admitted looking back at the cyborg. Then if Morph couldn't make a ramp...what could they do? Carry the block of ice down the stairs like a piano? Man that'd be a bitch. Blazen sighed and looked at the stairs again. This shouldn't be so hard. Finally Blazen came up with another idea, simpler but similar to his last idea.
"If you can fly down there then, I can push it down and off. You don't need to catch it, just make sure Zane doesn't go anywhere in case the ice breaks and he wakes up. I'll just make my way down partly then jump." Blazen suggested, it seemed...ok. Crude but possible, hell it'd seemed better than his last one.

"Hmmm..." Morph hummed softly in thought. The fact Blazen couldn't fly took out some of their possibilities, some of which might have been a lot easier for them to do then anything else they could come up with with the resources provided. "I suppose that's a good idea." He said, slightly hesitant towards Blazen's idea, but it was better than nothing. He hoped that the fall wouldn't damage the cyborg too badly, but considering it was a long fall, he hoped that he would take at least some damage, as if just to show that it could be damaged at all. He never had liked to fight guys who seemed indestructible, and man had there been loads of those in the Beta test.
"Alright then, man, I'll be going down now. Can you lift him on your own?" He asked Blazen, thumbing over his shoulder at the frozen cyborg.

Blazen sized up the ice block with the cyborg inside. With a moment's consideration, Blazen stretched his arms. He bent down keeping his fingers tight against the slippery ice and lifted the thing. He was able to lift it about a foot off the ground and then he dropped it. He shook fingers a bit, warming them up. Water vapor drifted off his fingers and palm. The thing was heavy, that was for sure and if Blazen needed to go further than a mile, then no, Blazen couldn't do it on his own. But with only two meters away from success he thought he could handle it.
"I think so, yeah. You go ahead down now. I'll toss him once you land." Blazen said rubbing his hands. He tried cooling them a bit now so he wouldn't melt the ice. This could really work.

"Just don't melt the guy, alright?" Morph replied in response to what he saw occurring when Blazen picked up the frostied botman and told him that he could handle it. He shook his head lightly in disbelief that he was actually going to do this and help with such a crazy plan, but he figured it might as well be him, as he was used to crazy plans. He had thought up quite a number of them himself, although at least half of those had never been enacted.
The shapeshifter warily put a foot through the portal that the fire god had created. It was a little warmer on the other side, or so it felt, but it wasn't truly hot; the absence of lava and magma and other kinds of molten rock truly was a blessing to their situation--and to Morph's sensitive and easily dehydrated skin. His armour flashed as it changed colours from cyan to green to show the change in his element, going from Ice to Wind and thus also bestowing him with the power of flight. Kicking off the ground after a last quick glance over his shoulder back at Blazen and the cyborg he thought to be Zane--possibly--Morph flew downwards, descending a good hundred yards or thereabouts by his guessings. He had never been good at guessing height or distance absolutely, or relatively either. It was clear that it would be quite a fall at any rate.
He twisted his body around to slow down and soften the impact before he landed on the ground. "Ooh, hah, hot!" He exclaimed muffledly and made a weird dance to go with that, before he realized that his expectations were more exaggerated than what reality was like. The ground was warm, but not really at all hot. The Ymaggionian Hell was full of surprises. With that thought in his head, Morph looked up with a hand held above his eyes to see if Blazen was already doing his thing.

Blazen saw Morph kick off then turned to the target. The block of ice that held the cyborg in place. Blazen walked behind the ice block and gave it a push, keeping his temperature down. It slide a bit, he gave a harder push, it slid more. Blazen grunted and continued to push, it going slowly along. Blazen then took hold of the ice and lifted it. Blazen turned around and looked over his shoulder to watch the door way. He backed into it, slowly, carefully. Grunting he kept the block as high as he could. Almost there...almost. There was a thunk and Blazen dropped the ice. It got stuck on the doorway. Blazen frowned. He was standing on the stairs now, in a way trapped. He gulped.
Blazen took a seat on the toppled over ice block. He knew what he had to do, and this could hurt like hell, but it would kill two birds with one stone. Getting himself and the ice down. The thing took up most of the doorway, just enough room for it to slide through. Blazen felt his bottom get numb as he pushed on the doorway with his feet. He scootched up to the doorway, held on tight and kicked off.
"Look out below!" The ice shot off the stair case about a meter then plunged. The ice and Blazen spun twice, both times, Blazen looking up to see the ground. He could feel his skull shattering everytime. But he was lucky. The ice came first and Blazen just felt a very sharp and blunt force up his crotch as he straddled the ice block. With a painful grunt, Blazen doubled over and landed on the ground next to the block of ice. He was holding his groin in agony, moaning in paralyzing pain.

A slight frown appeared on Morph's face as he saw Blazen high up in the distance struggling with the frozen body of the cyborg to get it through the opening he had created between the two planes of existence. He shook his head a little, thinking he might as well just have widened the opening, if he could do such a thing, but he did not shout upwards the idea; Blazen would just solve it on his own with some pushing and pulling hard enough.
Sure enough, he did, and with a vengeance the fire god and the ice-encased metal he rode shot into the air, suspended for a split second before plunging into the depths he himself had flown off into just before. Blazen shouted over at him and his expression became one of awkward shock, contorting as he set a few steps aside to make sure the heavy weight would not come crashing down on himself.
After Blazen and the cyborg had crashed into the ground, thus finishing their fall and sending a small cloud of dust into the air, Morph waved the cloud away only to reveal Blazen covering his groind with his hands and a painful expression on his face. Morph mimicked the expression as he realized what had happened. "Ouch, might want to put some ice on that." He said in advice, soon after realizing what connotations it carried and how ironic it was actually. "I'm not helping there." He immediately added as he came to stand next to the cyborg-pyro duo that lay on the ground, and Morph crossed his arms.

Shakily Blazen placed his hand on the ice block and pulled himself up to his knees. Blazen almost could feel them in his stomach or something. He felt like he was going to vomit. Blazen fell back down as there was a surge of contractions in his stomach. He let the feeling pass after a moment and tried again. This time he was able to make it past the knees and onto his feet. Shaking, still, Blazen turned to Morph, using the ice block as a way to balance himself. He sat down on it. His bottom already numb. Blazen groaned a couple of times as more waves of nausea flowed through his body. They all did pass however.
"Ok...we got him here." Blazen said coming back to himself, "We're out of the admin's scope a bit more so...ya know...just in case he's not allowed here or something we can keep him safe." Blazen concluded as he stood up again. He felt nearly 100% better again. Just his bottom was still numb. He thought about taking the cyborg to his place, but maybe that'd be just the wrong place in hell to take this thing. Besides, they'd have trouble getting it there. Blazen looked down at the cyborg, over its head and back.
"Do you think we could find some sort of override? Somewhere to access this thing so we can get some information out of him?" Blazen asked. He knelt down, looking along the cyborg's side and around his head.
