Rainbow Dash was kept in a room separate from Gilda. It had only two metal chairs and a table between them. A few seconds pass before the door flew open letting in a large black man with bionic arms. He was bald with a red beret and wore army boots, camo pants, and a wife-beater shirt. He sat across from Dash leaning forward to meet her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't you guys tell me to come in here? Am I in the wrong room?" Dash retorted
"Don't play with me. That loud chick kicked me in the head earlier; really knocked out my since of humor for the day." The man said with a grimes.
"Yeah. Gilda can be a jerk sometimes."
"You still haven't answered me. How did you get in here?"
"Sorry dude, couldn't tell ya if I wanted to. I don't really know how I got here. Last thing I remember is going up to Cloudsdal, then, I woke up in a room filled with crates. (Looking like this.)" Dash noted under her breath.
Before He could questioned her story the door opened letting yet another person to stand in the doorway. A woman with shoulder length blond hair in a pony with a white cropped wife-beater and cut off jean shorts with combat boots on. "Jax, We've got business to attend to." Her eyes turn toward Dash "You come too. Raiden wants to see you. I already have someone getting the other one."
"Here are the mystery girls you asked about Raiden." Sonya said addressing the white eyed man with the large circular hat and staff in blue and white robes; leading in Rainbow Dash and the cuffed Gilda. "Mine telling me how you knew about these two now?" she deadpanned.
Raiden stood at the far end of the bridge of the airship flight control room. "Thank you, Sonya." The thunder god said before starting "I detected multiple Outworld portals opening across the realms and followed the nearest ones to you station."
"Portals?" Dash questioned "What are you talking about?"
"You idiot!" Gilda sharked " I knew you were dense but even you couldn't sleep through that defining ."
"Must'a knocked you head on something when she came through then." Jax commented tapping his fist to his head "Knocked her clean before she knew what happened."
"Whatever the reason it is of little importance. The others from your world are still lost in the realms." Raiden argued. A click sounded and all eyes turned to Gilda whom just managed to to remove her cuffs with a key she somehow stole off of one of the guards.
"That sounds great and all but to tell the truth I don't really care what happens to this looser or her stupid little pals, so I'm gonna split before you chumps get lucky enough to catch me again." Gilda snarked darting toward the nearest exit gripping the handle.
"What are you doing?Don't open that! Are you trying to kill everyone?!" Sonya shouted "Stop her!!" She demanded in vain as the renegade griffin had pried the door open and jumped ship proclaiming 'Not my problem' as she did so. A siren bursts with a flashing red light as the man and women staffing the the bridge clutch the equipment in an attempt to ground themselves with the depressurizing cabin. Dash unafraid of a crash, having had survived more than her share, flew straight for the flailing door and cough a fleeting glimpse of Gilda as she flew off. Dash grit her teeth wanting to go right at the maddening griff as she leaps out to catch the wildly swinging door from the outside, knowing she couldn't leave these people to die. She managed to get the door to steady but the wind from the rapidly falling mass made it near imposable to budge the metal.
Sonya, gripping the door frame from the far end of the bridge to fight the heavy wind looked over the chaos to Jax whom held a death grip on the rail bar below window. "What are you doing?!" She called out getting the man's attention "Get over there and put those arms to work! Or are you gonna let a collage girl shop show you up?!"
"Er...This is fucked up!" Jax complained as he pulled his way to the open exit. "Gimme your hand!" He shouted extending his arm still gripping the bar for leverage. Dash grabs his hand and Jax pulls with all he had as Dash did the same and if by some miracle they managed to close the the exit and the ship staff, no longer in a panic, went to work to get the airbase to the ground as safely as they could.
From the forest below Gilda saw as the massive ship's decent. With a shrug of indifference Gilda turned down to the forest and processed to look for something to tell her where in Equestria, if at all, she was. For a good bit of time she found nothing but trees and dirt but did make an important note that the clouds moved freely. "This definitely ain't no sissy land." She said to herself walking the terrain. as she thought on where the portal could have dropped her she happened across some type of run down temple. It had a pyramid type feel to its outer look and the walls surrounding along with the place itself were made from some kind of grayish rock. As she got closer to the outer wall's main door Gilda found herself confronted by a group of five consisting near entirely of men. they wore nearly all black and gray clothes and were rather aggressive looking some with bandanas to cover there faces. How ever one in particular stood out more than the rest, He had blond hair and wore a karate gi mostly of white with some patches on the front and a large cobra design on the back with black pants and bare feet.
"This forest belongs to the Black Dragon clan!" One of the men imposed with a glare as he noticed the uninvited presents to there hide out.
"Do I look like I care?" Gilda side giving the mans threatening posture no regard.
"You don't belong here girl." the blond man said stepping to the agitated rough. "Leave before you get hurt."
"Heh... It almost sounded like you think you can take me." Gilda said daringly staring the man down "If you wanna go I'm right here." she taunted. Kobra looked his equal in temper in the eye before slowly stepping back to put some distance. "What? Loss your nerve?"
Kobra sucked his teeth as he turned his eyes back over his shoulder "I'm not gonna wast my time beating you to the dirt... that's what they're for." He grinned referencing hes company "Take 'er down."
On command the four men went at Gilda with pipes and fist. Unfazed Gilda darted into the air dumbfounding her attackers before going into a dive-bomb. The skyward attack was beyond the thug's ability to evade and he was brought to the ground with a crash as Gilda toke and slammed his head to the ground to insure he stayed down. As Gilda got to her feet she decided to take up the grunts pipe. The other thugs were ready to strike, going in all at once taking swings at the speedster with little successes aside from a few glancing blows to the girls somewhat foreign extremities, most namely her right leg taking three hits. But with three swift swings of her own the thugs were no more threat, however her fight wasn't over as Kobra had come in from behind delivering a brutal blow to the occupied griff's already stricken leg cousing the slight blood from her earlier machete hit grow heavier on her torn jeans. With a quick bat of her wings Gilda evaded farther harm.
As she landed a sharp pain hit her forcing her to raise herself by flight to insure she didn't accidentally put weight on the wounded limb. Hovering close to the ground Gilda glared at her adversary with deep intent "Ooh, you are really going to regret that." she said through gritted teeth.
Kobra gave a swift swing of his hand discarding some of the griffin's blood "Let's see." He taunted taking a ready position.
Gilda began a flying charge right for the blond brute only to hit air where he should have been where a cloud of dust formed. From behind Kobra flew forward both feet planted smashing a heavy fist into Gilda's back pushing her forward with extreme force slamming her to the stone door face first. Peeling her self off Gilda narrowly dodged yet another rear-bound attack Kobra slamming a flaming windmill kick to the already cracking stone braking it inward reveling dozens if not hundreds more of the black clad thugs within the temple courtyard. "What the hell is ti with you and coming at me from behind? Can't take me on face to face?" Gilda Challenged with a scowl. As the men began to pour out to back their own. One, a woman with small red pony tails, came right up beside him. She wore a red vest and chapped pants with heeled boots and two daggers strapped to her thighs.
"I prefer the easy win over the fair one. Got a problem?" Kobra retorted
"Easy? I could hear you struggling form within the compound." Kira scoffed baring her daggers "Can't you even handle one wounded girl?" She challenged.
"What time for the second wave? Bring it." Gilda said with a snarl darting right into the distracted Kobra barreling him through his own men like the grill of a train ending off by taking him by the arm and slinging him into the doors of the temple itself. Hearing an odd noise from behind Gilda shifted to the air evading the woman's cannonball attack as the men circle around the combatants as Kobra rejoined with a limp arm and dislocated left shoulder. With a glare Gilda charged the woman first. Kira swept at her with dagger in hand but wasn't a mach for the expert speed of the stunt flier getting a headbutt to the gut. Building on this Gilda rose the girl to the air a couple of feet and dive-bombed the ground with her as a buffer. Kira let out a roar of pain as a grunt escaped Gilda's lips. Mid-air Kira took the opportunity to drive both her blades into the rough's lower back. Just as Kobra prepared to capitalize on this a voice over to the crowd halting all action.
"That's quite enough!" The crowd split to revel a heavily burn man in a strange silvery mask and sleeveless black long coat with some kind of mechanism attached to hes back with an antenna.
"Master Kabal?" Kobra awed as the leader walked calmly up to the uninvited guest. "Good now we can-"
"This battle is over." Kabal said coldly at Kobra's suggestion, stepping up to their 'guest' "I saw what you did. Besting both Kobra and Kira is no small feat. My clan could always use more powerful fighters like you. And your... unique talents are very preferable for our 'activities'."
"Is this some kind of a joke?" Gilda said sceptically, hovering to eye level with the man.
"If you'd rather not join me then my clan can simply eliminate you. with that leg you wont stand for long." Kabal offered cocking his neck to the side.
"Was that a threat?"
"If you didn't see that then I wouldn't want you for my clan." Kabal said as Gilda thought intently on the deal placed before her.
She could easily fly away but something about her ordeal made it seem that the option wouldn't change much for her predicament. And there was an interest to his offer she couldn't ignore."Okay. I'm in." Gilda said smugly.
