Swept

The underside of Sibba was wholly unique. No other continent was like it.

It was crystalline. A shimmering diamond reaching down towards the abyss. People lived and worked on this side as well. No other continent had such a beehive type honeycomb labyrinth like Sibba's under surface.

Other continents utilized their undersides to some extent but none matched Sibba.

From her vantage point on the continent of Playz Rachel clearly saw people walking within the faceted diamond labyrinth. This was not exactly an easy thing to do since it sparkled brilliantly with the clarity of a top diamond.

Rachel moved her head a bit to allow her hair to cascade down her back. 'Struns we are here'

As soon as the telepathic message left her mind she stepped off the mountain and gracefully walked to Sibba. Her opaque rainbow eyes were sinister and her pace was calm and measured.

Rebecca and Cramnal followed walking two paces behind: Rebecca to her left, Cramnal to her right.

When she met Sibba's defensive shield she merely placed her finger upon it and asked it to allow her, Rebecca, and Cramnal entrance.

All twelve continents had shields that stopped entrance. The shield allowed for anyone to leave freely unless there was war or other various extenuating circumstances,

As Milana Rachel could enter any of the 12 continents without question.

Only the realm could change this law.

A translucent wall around Sibba shimmered from her touch with a rainbow ripple extending out from her finger around the perimeter of the continent.

A portal big enough for one person opened and the three stepped in.

.....

When Struns heard Rachel's telepathic message his back automatically straightened and he involuntarily smiled.

He did not move from his position and maintained his surveillance. The air around him rippled like waves of heat above a desert. Rachel appeared first followed by Cramnal then Rebecca.

Rachel was at his side and he allowed her to take over his mind. He felt her look through his eyes, register Anis' condition, formulate a plan, and then calm herself. It all occurred in less than a second.

"Let me speak to her first and then we will proceed." None of the others questioned her decision. The three of them silently waited. All of them knew that Anis would be with them soon.

'Anis? I am here. Cramnal called me be…' Before she could finish there was a reply.

'Come and get me sister! Please!'

Rachel's eyes went from black, to white, to red, and back to black. Her jet black hair lengthened and the rainbow strands became more vibrant.

Suddenly she was on the move. Her cohort had been keenly watching her so they had moved with her almost instantly.

"Struns take the back of the building and come around to meet us. Rebecca release six at levels two to S and take the right and left flanks and under. Cramnal you are with me"

Her words floated on the wind and were only heard by who she wanted to hear.

She and Cramnal were at the front of the condominium in a half of an instant. Cramnal extended his, hand rainbow ripples moved across the wall before them. Without any hesitation they both walked through the wall and into a long corridor.

Struns was at the back of the building almost before Rachel finished giving out her orders. They did not need more information they only needed their positions. They had fought together so often that it was like breathing and no active thought was truly needed.

Struns ran up the side of the building, his feet creating secure footholds. He took a step forward and entered a corridor. Throwing out his hand wind sliced through the air killing two men in front of him. His leg flung back and caught another in the abdomen. The force rising through the person's body crushing organs and breaking bones. As he died he flew into the woman behind him with such force she was crushed and died before he did.

Struns moved down the corridor toward Rachel and Cramnal.

Rebecca did not enter the building. Rachel telling her where to send her "allies" told her not to enter and to wait outside.

Grey mist poured from her body billowing and coalescing until forms began to emerge. Six beings encircled Rebecca. They gazed at her for a second and moved to their positions. Two went to the right, two to the left, and two to the lower levels of the complex.

Rebecca looked to the top of the building and waited for Rachel's next order.
