The Soul Labyrinth

"See you guys later," Hinata said, following Cassius out.
"Hopefully they'll stay safe."

Loki sighed and sat on a bench by a familiar-looking spirit

“As ridiculous as it sounds, Serena’s much stronger than Intharachit is” Cassius laughed a little at what he said.
Cassius and Hinata would arrive at the Corpse Plateau five minutes after they left. They would meet with a green and red coated figure. The figure had a dragonfly influenced mask. They were clearly looking around for… something.

(i have nothing to do)

Loki sighed and sat on a bench by a familiar-looking spirit

The spirit turned to Loki.
“What are you doing here…?” The entity asked. Even if they were hooded, their shiny clock irises still passed through the shadows.

(Well, there’s something for you to do)

“As ridiculous as it sounds, Serena’s much stronger than Intharachit is” Cassius laughed a little at what he said.
Cassius and Hinata would arrive at the Corpse Plateau five minutes after they left. They would meet with a green and red coated figure. The figure had a dragonfly influenced mask. They were clearly looking around for… something.

Hinata, when she spotted the figure, went on guard mentally. She glanced at Cassius, then back to the figure.
"Excuse me," she called calmly.

Loki looked at them "Looking for my brother, Alex. you look familiar but I can't remember your name"

The dragonfly figure jumped when Hinata spoke up.
“E-Eh?!” He was clearly the jumpy and easily scared type.
“W-What’s the matter ma’am?” He asked nervously, hiding something behind his back.

Loki looked at them "Looking for my brother, Alex. you look familiar but I can't remember your name"

The figure lowered his hood.
“Cronos…” he replied blankly.
“And you’re brother’s not with us anymore, he’s somewhere else… either Heaven or Hell, I’m not sure. Best case scenario, he’s already waiting for you at home” he added calmly while fidgeting with a golden, white and radiating inscription.

(Hint for Hinata)

Hinata raised an eyebrow at the figure's jumpiness but brushed it aside.
"Can I ask what you're looking for?" And what they hid behind their back.

"How could Alex be home he died. And I already went to heaven so obviously he ain't there" Loki had been annoyed that Cronos had been so numb to the fact of her searching for her brother then she noticed what he had "hm? what's that?" she pointed at the object

(Ooo, got it. Just gonna write that down real quick)

“Uh… the Gemini inscription…” they replied blankly. They then showed Hinata what they had behind them; the Cancer inscription.
“It’s near, sure, but I don’t see it anywhere” they added with a disappointed sigh.

Hinata nodded, more to herself than the figure, her theory confirmed.
"I see. Well, things aren't always set out in plain sight."

(Some are hidden in the soul)

Cronos looked like he’d been through hell and back. With Loki’s response and question, he only got more annoyed.
“During the time you were gone, the Labyrinth basically… wiped out the overpopulation. The ones which did better deeds went to Heaven, the other side went to Hell and the remaining were given their souls back, meaning they’re now alive back where they’re supposed to be” he crossed his arms as he answered.
“And this?” he eyed the item in his hand “…you don’t need to know…” he made sure the stressed word came out the way he wanted.

"Well I guess curiosity killed the cat and the lion killed the gladiator" Loki stood and walked off as simply as she said that sentence but had been listening for a reaction from Cronos

The dragonfly figure nodded.
“Well, it should be here somewhere… but whe—“ without having finished his sentence, two faces erupted from the ground right beneath Cassius and the dragonfly figure.
Cassius jumped to the other face and grabbed the dragonfly figure before landing beside Hinata.
“Looks like we’re in for a battle” Cassius set Kohaku down and put on the Pisces armor.

Cronos didn’t say anything, rather he just smiled when Loki left.
“She’s leaving…” he whispered to the item he had in his hand. After a moment of stillness, Cronos stood up and teleported somewhere else.

Hinata nodded, putting the Leo armor on.
"Unfortunately, I think you're right." She drew her two swords, sighing.

Loki started to walk towards the Corpse Plateau hoping find someone there that could help her

The faces dispersed and reformed into an armor. The mask of the armor was half a smiling face, half a frowning face. The armor resonated a laugh.
“Bold of you to assume that I’ll be easy to take down…” the armor had up to sixteen spears behind them which all aimed at Cassius and Hinata.
(Think Gilgamesh from the Fate series, but with spears instead)

(Corpse Plateau…)

(Fixed it. whoops)

"Bold of you to assume I care," Hinata mumbled, eying the spears.

(Ouch… that’s gotta hurt somewhat)

The Gemini armor started by grabbing one of the sixteen spears and pulling it to his side while the other fifteen disappeared. He then rushed Cassius to which Cassius’ response was…

Water Totem
A pillar of speedy water current sent the armor flying upwards alongside with creating a trap component which would be electrically conductive. (Hint Hint)

(that's an oof)
Loki heard the fight just starting to break out and ran towards it

Hinata, not missing a beat, quickly sent out two pods, sending an electric current through the water.

The Gemini armor laughed with pleasure inside the pillar, rushing against the current as if the electricity coursing through it didn’t exist. They landed right beside Cassius and kicked him inside the pillar he created himself.
