"Yeah, sure, throw a tantrum. The Guards already took down one of your contracted. They'll do it many times over. I'm hiding from the Remnant because it's something to be feared, and I know I can't take it on by myself. The reason I'm calling you a coward is because you're getting others to do what you want. Luring them in with promises of power and taking away their wills, hiding away because you're too cowardly to go out and take what you want. Absolutely pathetic. You aren't even brave enough to send your victims to stop me. There's over a dozen of your contractees up here, frozen solid by my own hand. And what have you done? Nothing. You're too scared to come up because you think I'll be your end."
"Point is... I may be heartless, but I know a dishonorable yellow worrywart when I see one."

// please don't go cracking mountains. It's getting fairly reminiscent of the old RP shenanigans... Which isn't something I'm going to let come back.

"What..."
When the clouds part, the flat-topped summit is revealed to have several frozen monoliths scattered about. The missing contractees can be seen inside them.
"You idiot!!You're drawing attention not only from the Remnant, but the Guard as well! The avalanches definitely made the news already, but this? You're so easily baited."
"Nonetheless, I can't have you interfering with my plans of staying unseen and unheard until my brothers come find me. Can't risk being found by a certain insane Anomaly."
Apathy holds out one hand and a greataxe fill sit. He takes the pole in both hands and steps into a fighting stance.
"You wanna fight? Come out and face me, yellow-belly. Your manipulation magic tricks don't shake me."

Back in Woodport, Empathy, Order, and Chaos notice the shenanigans going on with the mountain. The Guards hurry up their packing.
The three other Anomalies finally meet with each other.
"Oh! I found Chaos!"
"Sure you did. Is that Guard transport going to the mountains?"
"I'm... Not sure. I think so. There's been a lot happening over there, and I heard word of some sort of 'contractor' stealing people's minds out there."
"Good. We need on that transport. It's the fastest way to get to Apathy."
"Sure, but... If you're Chaos, why do you-"
"No time! Hurry up and put this on." Chaos shoves two more folded cloaks on Empathy and Order, who put them on quickly.
"Well, what are we waiting for? We've got a transport to catch."
"And a brother to find."

// I'm going to assume Ezekiel and Empathy split up, since it's late.

A gryphon on the roof is the least of the worries of anyone inside the house.
"Ugh... I'm just gonna head to bed. It's late, anyway... State, there's a charger cable in the top left drawer of the TV table you can use."
"Understood."
"I'm gonna walk around town. I'm not tired and I can't stay in one place, anyway."
"That works. Order, are you staying here?"
"Bah, seems like you're fine. I'm going to stick with Empathy, if that's all right. If whatever Chaos is paranoid about is around, he'll need protection."
"In that case, I'd better come with you. Empathy needs to know... And you both need to get covered."
"Sounds fine. Well... Good night." Umbra heads upstairs and draws the curtain for some privacy.
State stays awake, keeping watch.
Chaos re-cover his head and exits with Order, appearing as the shrouded figure again.

Snow and ice swirls around the summit like a whirlwind, enclosing Apathy and the contractor in a frozen arena.
"That makes two of us." Apathy's shadow- if there even was one- disappears. He turns to face the whisper, already swinging his ethereal axe.

// Are the figures charging Apathy? Because he's on the summit.

"Bullshit. You threatened me and probably everyone in that town down there. That's hardly peace talk.

Apathy pulls out the axe, but it doesn't seem like he wouldn't swing again. Hard to tell with a hole for a face and no expressions.
"Mind telling your stooges not to attack Woodport? The place is more trouble than it's worth. It'd be great if you'd unblock the sun and stop trying to destroy a mountain, too. Otherwise... I'll really have an axe to grind."

"...Yeah, that doesn't sound reasonable. At all. Do I look like a soul reaver to you? Because I'm not. I can't collect souls, and a soul from a "deity" is outright impossible to get. I'm asking you stop causing trouble. That doesn't equate to stealing souls. So no, I'll pass because you're being unreasonable."

The Guard transport arrives at the mountain, parked halfway up. The occupants exit, including three shrouded figures that immediately start making their way up the mountain while the Guards set up a temporary base.

Umbra holds up a finger, signaling for the gryphon to wait.
He starts gathering some old blankets and a few other things downstairs, then heads out.
State has gone offline for the moment. Seems even a toughened robotic Guard rests sometimes.

"Uh... Thanks."
The three cloaked beings keep climbing.

Something seems... Off in the near distance. What appears to be a large, moving shadow is advancing up the mountainside. The Guards haven't noticed yet, and neither have the Anomalies.
