(hey there, sorry we didn't wait for you ^^)
Mike tossed the nearest guard away like he'd tossed Pluto that morning, grabbed Red's hand, and dashed over to the hydra. He boosted Red up onto the hyrda's shoulder, then followed her onto its back, pulling Asura up behind them. "Don't slow down," he barked. "Keep going."

Pluto managed to fight off the last of the guards trying to stop her before flying down the hydra's back. She made it behind the wall just in time for the hydra to crawl all the way into the courtyard. Flames spewed from behind the walls, and the heat was beginning to become unbearable. "Everybody here?"

"Yup. Where to now?"

"Hey! Over here!" a voice called from a building near them. Two dark figures stood on top of it, both holding enormous scythes. Pluto squinted in their direction.

"Echo? Advocate? That you?"

"Yeah man, come on!" The figures disappeared into the building, and Pluto started jogging in their direction.

"Come on, we've gotta get to Gandelheim before Samandriel realizes we're gone."

Mike took up the rear, watching for signs of pursuit. "That monster was on your side, I take it?"

"Yup. That's the Hydra. Creative name, I know. One of the first successful tech-magic hybrids. The reapers control it." They ran down the street, and Pluto frowned. Where had the reapers gone? She was suddenly jerked into an alleyway off to the side, and came face to face with the grinning face from her phone screen. "Echo! Great, we need to get to Gandelheim now." The reaper grinned at her before looking at the rest of the group.

"Oh, lot more passengers than I thought! Don't worry, we've got a warp point to Gandelheim a few blocks from here, then we can hop to the mansion."

"Let hurry then," Mike said. "I think I hear them coming."

"Ooh, you made friends with someone who's got brains! Good to know you aren't draggin' some idiots around," Echo said. He started to walk quickly down the alleyway, where the other reaper was waiting. The other one looked far more human than Echo, with the only odd feature about him being the gold bird mask on his face. He did a little bow before walking with them.

"Advocate, at your service. I presumed my colleague has of yet to introduce himself. Echo?" The other reaper rolled his eyes.

"Name's Echo, blah blah blah, we don't have time for formalities!"

"I agree with Echo on all points," Mike replied. "Mike, Red, Asura. Thanks for your help, by the way."

"Don't sweat it man, we do whatever we can to get under Sammy's skin. Guy's an ass." Advocate elbowed Echo in the arm, somehow shooting him a glare behind the mask. They kept walking, reaching a tall, white wall. Echo hopped onto the flat part of the enormous wall, and Advocate stood beneath him.

"I will toss you up to Echo, and he will catch you to set you behind the wall."

(lol you're fine, we understand ^^)
Mike accepted their help, trying not to rest too much of his weight on them.
