*At the gates of the immortal palace, guards were changing positions, and hundreds of guards up to 400 had moved to take the places of the other guards throughout the sect but mainly towards the exits and front doors, it was all normal as they had just changed positions with the previous guards.*
Jerome
*He would take to hiding alongside the troops who had invited us on this little excursion, making sure to keep his son and his maid close as he scoped out the gates from afar waiting for some kind of signal to get started, spinning the sickles in between his fingers as he looked towards his son before leaning down to give him some encouragement.*

"Remember buddy, we're doing what I hope is a good thing here I need you to try and stay calm throughout this we can't have a potentially disastrous episode here, I'm not scolding you for anything I'm just asking you try and stay as calm as humanly possible I don't want you to get hurt, okay?"
Ann
*Would keep a scarf over his face as his cloak moved with each step he followed the rebels but they remained in the back, they didn't want to reveal there position there had been no violence yet*

`"We are awaiting the signal of the green mist correct, I have alot of anxiety about this so many rebels here and people with swords and unique faces."` 

*He gritted his teeth nervous his heart racing with each step as they were Infront of the gates there would be sect members moving about nothing would happen here as long as the sect didn't act to reinforce the keep.*

`"I know bylin I will stay calm, I haven't been in a stressful situation like this in awhile I won't have an episode I promise I'm ready."`

*He had his hand on his hilt of his sword*
Jerome
"Im proud of you, and also I have something for you that I created for a moment like this, I'm sure you can make great use of it I trust you." *He would Pat his dear sweet son on the back, before reaching into the bag of holding he had on his hip before pulling out a small necklace and putting it around his son's neck.*

"Dependent on that necklace should keep you calm through this whole thing I've developed it so hopefully even in stressful situations one of your episodes won't flare up." *And almost on cue as soon as the pendant began to give off a faint glow around his neck his nerves would begin to melt away a little bit and calm would begin to set in still allowing him to be alert but a lot less stressed.*
Michelle
*The gates of the immortal palace seemed to be a staircase up leading to the mountain. A grand doorway that was embroided by gold and fancified symbols saying "Immortal Sword Palace". Although for now they may not understand for now, they are incapable of entering the sect... Unless with force that is, however there were layers of protective shielding and formations set in place in case of invaders and enemies who wished to do harm... As they those who wish to storm the gates were not recognized as guests, thus will have to find out what happens when they try to enter... At the same time, outer sect disciple guards stood at the doors with their hands on the weapons at all times... For now they couldn't see them...*
Joan
*One of the rebels approached and spoke to bylin*

`"We have the exits watched our goal to make sure reinforcements from here doesn't reach the keep is any is sent."`

*The 400, rebels would patrol the area watching every exit they could, or knew about, soon green smoke could be seen flying into the air from the far distance in the city as one after another green flares shot into the sky in every district and st the keep the soldiers there shot a green multiple green flare into the sky as they all walked around anxious, nervousness filled the air as they watched the sect.*
Ann
*Would see green smoke filling the air streaks of fog he had never seen before his eyes followed them into the sky then soon he saw it up close as smoke from the guards near them flew into the sky he felt a small necklace placed around his neck as it made him calmer and kess nervous.*

`"Thank you bylin, it's starting, I don't think we will have to do anything here hopefully... The guards don't seem to be attacking the sect I thought they were to raid it?"`

*He asked confused why were they just standing and patrolling around.*
Tyler
*Had felt something off with his divine sense and came to the gates looking at the fellow disciples he would see green plums of smoke and guards amassing around the sect he placed his hand on his sword he tried to talk to wei through his mind as he felt uneasy about this and soon smoke filled the city in the distance as he would need guidance and wondering if his father was alright, it appeared the sect may come under attack.*
David
*For moments, though only seconds, years of dead silence appeared to be so... However, soon Yenio's calls were heard as his father's voice rang resoundingly within his head*

```"Make sure the formations are maintained, activate the killing formations if need be... If a foe were to appear that seems to be as strong as one of the 9 stars... Activated the grand slaughter formation with all the sect disciples... But do your best to keep them at bay, soon Senior Shen will arrive, I will handle things within the city... Also... Your Elder Sister is here too, she will know what to do"```

*The voice said, as soon a sword suddenly appeared in front of Yenio... However, it wasn't any ordinary sword... It was familiar... One that seemed battle tested and had a will of its own... All it simply needed was some qi to be injected to use... Though why was the sword so familiar... A gilded handled with markings of dragon scales along it... The sheen and shine, its sharp edge and keen hilt... This was the blade which Orestis and Wei Wuxian had forged... Though it seemed different, if injected with qi, its sword spirit would emerge...*
Jerome
"I'm just as confused as you are I had assumed that as soon as that green smoke went up in the air that we would be off to the races but it seems like we're just watching around, what exactly are we supposed to be doing?" 

*He but turn away from his son and towards the group with much confusion, trying to get a feel for what the hell is going on.* 

"I'm confused are we going to go in there and try to sneak past them or are we just waiting here until we can find an opening, even though we're not exactly in the open staying here doesn't exactly seem like a good idea?"
Joan
*There would be guards within the sect already the moment signals went off they waited however the commander outside wasn't ready they were they drew there swords and began to move above the sect blocking off sections and closing doors to keep sect members trapped they would draw swords at the sect members to try and get them to stay put the ones they couldn't barricade in rooms or hallways, hundreds of swords drawn within the sect as a battle cry went out. At the steps dozen rebels rushed to the palace steps and went to see if they could get the main force in but yenio was there and two other sect members they would yell*

`"We won't fight you as long as you don't fight us! Remain where you are and don't move!"`

*The men ordered.*

*Outside the sect a commander rode in on a horse drawing his sword yelling at the men to rush in, as he shot a green smoke in there direction with a crossbow yelling at them with fury why weren't they attacking?? Soon all hell broke loose the rebels lined up quickly as they could and began to rush the sect palace steps with roars of there screams shaking the earth as they rushed as fast as possible towards the palace doors to meet up with the other rebels that began to come out they drew there swords rushing*
Ann
*Would see a green plum of smoke barreling towards them he would draw his sword slowly and see the rebels battle cry as the began to rush they were a solid 5 minutes late to the charge, he would remain back with bylin he spoke*

`"Pretty late to the fight this is already a bad start. We are to blend in with the rebels now that the battle is finally starting we are to make sure that no reinforcements leave this place, so we should first take that palace gates."`

*He pointed to the palace gates to bylin as it would be best to make a pathway for the rebels the least they could do if they did that they could secure a foothold for them and then allow them to go help eirias he began to join into the crowd of rebels after telling bylin the plan he would fade into the crowd as he pulled his hood over his head to hide his unique hair.*
Tyler
*Drew his sword slowly and nodded to the other sect members to draw there swords, soon he heard battle cries from within the sect and yelling and screaming barking of orders*

`"I will only activate them if a foe like that appears so far it seems just some soldiers I will not fail you father I have not failed you I do not intend to do that today."`

*He would see a sword appear Infront of him he would reach out and grab it seeing it was such a powerful blade bestowed upon him he couldn't let his admiration of the blade get in the way soon doors flew open Infront of him, he would sheathe his original blade and grab the floating one turning and imbuing qi into the blade a simple qi slash to the attacker infront of him knocking him unconscious he blitzed forward with the other two disciples making quick work of those rebels that rush through the door then turning around raising his sword in direction of the incoming rebels.*

`"Attacking a peaceful sect is unforgivable you will pay with your lives."`

*He wouldn't follow through with it on killing unless Wei allowed he took a breath and waited for them to come*
Jerome
*Hearing the Battle cry and also hearing that the first order of business was to block off the palace Gates so that none of the reinforcements would get out he would hang back from the rest of the group drawing both of his sickles one of them taking on a brown glow in the other taking on a very dull Gray, throwing them both into the air and having them impact against the ground, every impact causing walls of Rock raw metal and Crystal to cover up each of the exits except for the main entrance to the Palace itself, making sure not to hurt anybody but also making it quite hard for them to get out without help, and after he made sure that no reinforcements could get out he would begin moving up along with the group making sure to stay close to his son while still twirling the sickles making sure to keep a close eye out for any unforeseen dangers.*

"Well that takes care of one of the problems let's hope we can keep this non-violent from here... But something tells me that's already gone belly up..."
Michelle
*When the rebels tried to enter the sect, they were only met with a wall, then a repulsive force that shot them back several feet away while also reflecting equal amount of force put upon the barrier by whomever struck it or ran into it. The soldiers from within the sect were immediately chained and restricted, as the sect disciples drew theirs weapons in retalliation... They may be peaceful ascetics... However when given a force and danger, they would act, thus simply knocking those soldiers unconscious whichever rebel they found and saw restricted within the sect... When they tried to lock the sect disciples in... It was immediately broken through as multiple, countless, dozens upon dozens of qi techniques were being used as a colorful array of attacks simply spring out from the blocked exits... They were not a sect whom ordinary people can mess with... Multiple inner core and core disciples stepped standing next to Yenio, one specifically yelling out*

```"We are disciples of the Immortal Taoist Palace, to mess with us, we will return your deed 100 fold!"```

*There was a very thin film that was noticeable, that was stacked atop 5+ layers of defensive formations... Only someone as strong as one of the 9 stars were capable of destroying each layer at a time...*
Jill
*With being injected qi into... The sword began to shake within Yenio's hand only becoming more violent with each passing moment, until suddenly a bright qi suddenly sprang out from it, revealing a person wearing somewhat western clothing, however with eastern markings upon his arms and alng his body...*

```"Ka ka ka, why isn't it little Yenio, all grown up aren't ya, ha ha ha! Let uncle handle it eh? You're a little inexperienced"```

*Stepping forward in front of Yenio and the Sect members, he looked down at the stair case and was able to see all before him and chuckled... Weaklings... However, one was notably strong... Even stronger than he as he smiled brightly*

```"Prepare the grand killing array... Use it on my call, ha ha ha"```
