Jacob and Shesu are waiting on top of McGuinn and a fight breaks out on top of Higgins. Goreshade is fighting Peter North, Agent 002 on top of Higgins, and Jacob flies over to do battle. Shesu runs over to Higgins, and is running up the stairs to get to the roof, when Alex and Lara and Zack arrive on the scene and they run after Shesu. After some fighting, Goreshade is hurt badly enough that he curls up for a moment, and our brave heroes take the opportunity to run away as fast as possible.
Peter and the Heroes then fight. Peter calls in the ‘fight’ and instructs them to “knock him” out and leave him on the beach. That way he wouldn't be on the hook for letting them go, and he could still work within the agency for us.

Against you now the sands do pour two noonday rise till evil storms the door, if the sword of corruption is not stopped, doom for all the quest for naught. The edge now seeks the empty shell, the orb of power, the mind as well. The secret ones hold the orb, they must not fall to the lost ones' sword.

From France they end up on a boat that is attacked by the Alliance of Humanity.
Jacob and Lara end up diving into the cold ocean to pull up survivors.
Lara and Alex attempt to contact Sam and James but cannot get through via normal Agency routes.

Jacob investigates the radio tower, trying to find information about the orders in his head.
Zack buys Vodka.
They leave and fly towards South America.
We are in the same plane that Zack has chartered which the Jacobs attack - Jacob takes Zack and Lara and they jump out of the plane to fight. They fight in the air against Jacobs. The pilot of the plane attempts to pull the plane out of a tailspin.
Lara pops one of the Jacob's pretty blue bits (She's on Jacob's back, along with Zack - who is touching her with his power active) and everyone goes tumbling into the sea. The explosion condenses and a piece of cold steel appears at the center.
Lara ends up with a sword that stays around.
We travel over water via Jacob to the nearest land which turns out to be Japan. Jeremy provides assistance getting an uber military plan which we use to go to South America.

We end up in South America at the temple of the Huntress.
Jacob and Shesu talk with Peter while the others, in hiding look on.
Peter and Augustus go inside the temple. They tell us not to come and and that if we want to help to keep anything else from following them in. Peter looks at us from a far before putting a poker chip in the brick of the temple.
Shesu and Alex go into the temple and Alex retrieves the poker chip that Peter left in the wall, taking it with her. As they enter the temple shifts and moves and tries to crush them/block them/the Huntress jumps out of the walls sometimes.
Jacob flies Lara around fighting things, specifically, therobots, although the Right Hand, and numerous Jacobs are present - but the Jacobs and the Right Hand are pretty invovled with each other) until they hear screaming in the jungle.
Jacob drops Lara and Zack off in the area of screaming where they find a camp that has had all of it's occupants killed and burned. They find no survivors but gather some Agency equipment and then head back towards the temple following a trail left by the murderer.
One of the Jacobs falls from the sky and Lara gets hurt trying to catch him and saves his life.
At some point the Jacobs are all killed and we take out the Right Hand but Lara and Jacob refuse to kill him, instead allowing its goop to remain on the ground and eventually move away.
Jacob hacks away at the top of the temple with Lara's sword that she got as a result of the prior fight in the air with the Jacobs - the Huntresses voice yells at him - until he gets down to runey/coldsteel bits at which point the sword blinks out of existence when he hits the coldsteel.
Jacob, Lily/Genevieve/Left Hand and Zack go into the temple.
Lara eventually joins them in the temple upon her Jeremy controlled robot throne.
A fight continues with the Huntress where Augustus is apparently killed and is joined by Shesu and Alex. Peter is apparently killed saving Alex and Shesu kicks major butt
Alex gets cut by Deathblade and has bad bits in her.
The crew (minus Augustus and Peter) escape into Paradise Lost using the gate in the Temple and the key from Zack’s watch..
Part 8 of Shesu’s riddle received across the gate to Paradise Lost.
The other half who came before now stalks through the halls of yore. The wolf remained and roams the sanctum unable to die, like a phantom. Together they seek the God of Death, a thousand lives upon his breath. His corpse they seek upon this night the path unseen into the light. Escape they will but fear not, you must leave with the one all forgot. The living stone must be saved or the world will reach an early grave.
They travel through Paradise Lost and find a big house.
Upon investigation they discover letters written by Knights, boxes full of Cold Steel artifacts and Golem who really likes Shesu. They actually see the Left hand and Jackal carrying the box together - when they see us they put down the coffin and the left hand pulls something from it's chest hands it to Jackal and disappears . . . Jackal then picks up the coffin by himself and resumes moving toward the exit.
They try and stop Jackal from leaving with the coffin of Zaizen.
A fight ensues since Jacob and Zack stand firm against letting the Jackal leave with the coffin.
At some point Zaizan's body becomes reanimated and it's actually Zaizen that kills Jackal when he rips a rune out of Jackal's forehead.
Lara cuts off a rune on Zaizens head and nearly dies as it completely eliminates the flesh on her right arm, but is saved by Zack and Shesu.
Zaizen's body is able to escape but we get through the gate after him in order to escape Paradise Lost
They use a toothpick from within the Huntress’ temple to escape and end up at Never Never Land, the Agency space station.

We get to the Never Never Land, the Agency space station, and fight with Goreshade who is there trying to obtain the Orb, the container holding Zaizen’s power..
We end up saving Gateway an older metahuman woman, who has runes carved on her head and has the power of teleportation. The orb is lost to Goreshade but the rest manage to take a shuttle back down to earth. They discover that during the trip between Never Never Land and Earth, metahuman abilities are lost.
Part 9 of Shesu’s riddle received after deorbit
Allies you must gather to proceed. Lightning, Sun and Queen to succeed. Against your wishes you must proceed, a form to give the Corrupter reprive. Without a body he remains, only together can he find the grave. The evil ones final pyre will be seeded with life, energy, and fire. With a sword and fire of might you must strike at the heart of night. Sword of blackness will strike the heart, living steel is the spark. The knight ends the storm of doom. A one-dog eye against the gloom. The future is now unclear, be thou brave and do not fear. The quest end is now here, fight, survive, the path is clear. Darkness ends this coming night, today will end the endless fight.
We end up in Oregon after reading the riddle to meet Joe Cooper, who knows Gateway, as well as reuniting with Sam and James who have taken refuge there after the inner turmoil within the Agency. Golem takes away the nasty bit out of the rune now on Lara's right upper arm.
In order to obtain the Lightening mentioned by the riddle, Jacob ends up in a situation where he has to fight the Old Man who has captured Abdul. They are transported by Gateway to that location. They tell Jacob the only way they'll let him see Abdul is if he fights. Jacob agrees and he gets to see Abdul who was, hitherto, trapped in a big Tesla thing. There's a discussion as to whether or not Jacob should try to win or just submit. Abdul basically says do whatever. The logic is your going to fight Zaizen so you want someone who is in the brotherhood so they cant be killed.
Jacob's mentor, Abdul Omar Mohammed is allowed to meet with Jacob and talks with him about the Brotherhood.
Jacob and Shesu talk and Jacob comes to the decision to fight the Old Man.
Jacob fights the Old Man and kills him, thus becoming a member of the Brotherhood.
During the fighting the others come to the conclusion that Jessica is cheating in some way and they have her tied up by the end of the fight, which is very entertaining.
They all leave together via the toothpick to go back to Oregon where Joe and Sam are waiting.
Shesu, Jacob, Abdul, Lara, Zack, Alex, Lily/Genevieve/Left Hand, Sam, Golem and Joe go into Zaizen's fortress to stop the reunification of Zaizen. They deck themselves out with cold steel weaponry and armor including spurs that enable fast movement and a monocle that is given to Zack.
The intrepid heroes arrive via assistance from Gateway, and end up at a crazy volcano fortress. There are some serious traps on the way including a crazy shrinking hallway and fireballs but Golem helps our folks get through those.
There appears to be a bruhaha starting outside that Jeremy is able to deal with using his absconded Japanese plane.
Our heroes come to a room filled which is a cave pool filled with black goop at the bottom, which makes Lilyveve very happy, along with some rocky platforms rising up out of the surface.
There are two other exits, one to Zaizen's lair, and one to the Right Hand's lair.
Lara, Zack, Shesu, Joe, Sam, Alex and Lily/Genevieve/Left Hand, Abdul and Jacob fight a Snake Guy, a Fire Guy formerly an Agent with the code name Burnout and DeathBlade at a lava pit. Snake Guy is toasted pretty immediately. Sam takes out Burnout with a shot in his knee.
Lily/Left Hand is overcome by her lefthandedness and turns against our heroes, stealing Zaizan's Mind that is within a Puzzle Box brought by Abdul, and sending a long tendril into the room with Zaizan with the mind, and then she ruckuses against us. At some point we hear Zaizan do an evil evil laugh.
Joe and Deathblade duke it out. During that fight Deathblade strikes at Lara but she heals almost immediately due to the run on her arm.
Lily, Lara and Shesu fight, with Lily merging in and out of the black goop. Lara and Shesu do a LOT of damage, but Genelily is basically invincible here.
Deathblade fires point blank at Lara but she heals immediately.
Lily recovers control of her mind, and shouts "It's me" and is not believed right away. Shesu gets Deathblade. He is momentarily consumed by the blade but then overcomes it.
Sam and Joe head towards Zaizen, followed by Lara and Zack, Shesu and Alex.
As they do that - Jacob and Golem join Abdul who's already fighting the Right Hand in a different room. They succeed in killing the Right Hand. Golum changes one of Jacob's cold steel runes to speed so they can meet up with the others faster but Abdul remains behind having fought nearly to his end against the Right Hand.
The Left Hand tries to thwart things. She activates the Puzzle Box.
Lara, with assistance from Zack to amplify her abilities, tries to cut off the rune on Zaizens head and force him to yield but fails
Jacob and Golem fly into the room with Zaizen.
Golem adds new runes to DeathBlade.
Joe burns a hole into Zaizen revealing the orb in the center.
Sam fires at the orb with her special gun and explodes the Orb at his center.
The lights go out.
Zack manifests and tells everyone to "Hit Me".
Alex and Joe send a fireball at him, Lara extends her blade to Zaizen through Jacob's wing, and the others follow suit.
There is a big explosion and everyone ends up in an empty volcano crater that is now apparently Zaizen free.
They all head back to Oregon to rest and recouperate.

Jacob and Abdul, Shesu, Eve and Golem, and Alex go there separate ways from Joesph Coopers cabin in Oregon. Zack and Lara remain behind.
