Sub-Zero - Ravaged Battlefield
Upon the initial strike, it appeared as though his attack had been in vain- but the creature's invisibility ceased, and it whirled around to face the Grandmaster, malice flaring in its eyes. Well, perhaps he
had harmed it. Now, how to
kill it...
However, they were interrupted by the yell of a child, though his visage was obscured by the fog. The abomination he fought seemed to take great interest as the fog fell, and it being higher in the air, could see what was crying at them. The monster raised its hand to Kuai Liang, who narrowed his eyes at it, grip tightening on his blade, before the fog parted finally and he could clearly make out what appeared to be a child adorning a scarlet outfit with shaggy blonde hair poking out from underneath his crimson cap.
He was too far and too snotty for the cryomancer to decipher his words. His opponent seemed equally as confused, but its demeanor had shifted so quickly from combative to docile... it was odd.
However, Sub-Zero was all too aware that children could pose a threat themselves. Fera and Torr, from Outworld, was a prime example. Or the fact that Kuai Liang and his brother, Bi-Han, had been brought up since an early age to become master cryomancers. Yet the way this child was bawling at them, the hopelessness and distress in his voice, it somewhat softened the Grandmaster's cold exterior. At least briefly, before he regained his composure, furrowing his brow.
"We are not finished." He informed the beast, before walking out of the fog and approaching the child, his diamond-hard ice sword disappearing, its form disintegrating into a flurry of snowflakes that drifted to the ground, forming a trail behind him that quickly melted against the scorched earth beneath them.
He didn't speak until he was mere feet in front of the child, and when he did, it was with the same cold tone he had delivered the abomination. "This is no place for a mere child." He informed, before frowning at his own words. "...Wherever this place may be." He added.

Master Chief - The Mountains
"Simple, really." Cortana replied. "I took your biological signatures unique to you and cast a long-range sensor using my connection to the Forward Unto Dawn, the horse we rode in on, to boost my range and found an almost identical match to you. If my sensors are right... your brother should be on a floating island."
"What." Chief frowned beneath his helmet. Floating island? It didn't seem like such an outlandish idea, but the AI had already deduced Forerunner involvement in their situation and environment, leaving him to wonder how an island could float. "Crazy, I know, but numbers don't lie." Cortana stated. "Could be a floating fortress, but with the amount of raw earth I'm detecting, it's not likely. We'll know for certain once we crest this next mountain, the island should be in sight by then. Any ideas on how to get us all up there?"
Chief didn't respond, his own thoughts pondering the question, while also offering the kids he'd taken under his responsibility a chance to give their own inputs and thoughts on the matter.

The Dragonborn - Rivet Ravine
Perfect. The first dungeon to loot, and he had two odd companions, yet they seemed endearing. Slash and Mushroom. Their usefulness would soon be proven, as he was certain they'd encounter dungeon dwellers within, though if he was familiar with the foes they'd face remained to be seen. Considering these two, as well as this environment, were new to him, he was sure to expect the same within the tunnels below.
"Let us waste no time, then!" The Nord chortled, before pulling his battle axe out of its sheath, and taking the lead into the mine that Mushroom had directed them to. The trio passed through the entrance, wooden beams built into it, presumably for support. The deeper they traveled in, the more beams could be seen, and it became clear that this wasn't a natural dungeon. This one was man or mer made. Or bestial, considering the Dragonborn was feeling pretty certain he'd wound up in Elsweyr somehow.
Light quickly left them, and when it became too dark to see naturally, the warrior grasped a knapsack attached to his belt, and reached inside the rather small bag, his arm going elbow-deep in before he found what he was looking for, and pulled out a torch. sheathing his weapon momentarily to summon a ball of fire in the palm of his hand, which he proceeded to light the torch with, illuminating the tunnel before them. With that, he pulled his axe back out and resumed leading them deeper into the tunnel. A lack of enemies was a bit disappointing, but perhaps there would be a plethora to battle deeper in, and alongside that, great spoils of riches to fill their pockets. Well, at least his. Slash and Mushroom didn't seem to have pockets.
