Kaori slashed back another row of guards and jumped on Lucinda.
Grabbing Athena's hand, they jumped into the portal, leaving the
guards behind.

The portal closed behind them, they were definitely somewhere
different, Lucinda then realised something, the minister escaped
here, she was sure of that at least
Athena had held onto the gun, forgetting that you had to drop it.
Miraculously, the gun was also somehow transported, and her arm was
still intact. Though the gun wouldn't be much use anyways.
Putting it back into her pocket, she shielded her eyes from the
suddenly intense sunlight. All those years in the gray murk of the
Afterlife had made normal sunlight feel like someone was flashing
light straight into her eyes.
“Now, Athena, I’m think me and Kaori are waiting for your thanks.”
Lucinda said with a clear smirk. Then she froze, they had forgotten
Taro, she turned into a cat quickly and curled around Kaori’s feet
"Not my fault you two decided to charge in." Now that all the
adrenaline was wearing off, Athena realized just how much energy
that had all took. She flopped down on the grass, feeling the
sunlight on her skin. Actual fresh, sweet, green grass, warm
sunlight, and blue sky.
“You couldn’t have handled them, you know, the reinforcements were
never coming. The minister workers stopped them.” Lucinda meowed
and brushed her tail against Kaori’s ankles
Kaori had just began to panic when she felt Lucinda at her ankles.
She began to calm down again and picked Lucinda the Cat up. They
would have to either go back for Taro or keep Lucinda as the Taro.

Lucinda snuggled against Kaori and curled up. She said “we need a
plan, I don’t know how but I think the Minister is here, and so is…
Olivia. But we are ghosts in the world above, does that mean we are
alive again?”
"That's to be tested" Kaori said. Looking at her surroundings, she
saw a tall skyscraper, that reached higher than the clouds. Kaori
immediately turned pale. This was New York City, United States. But
it was also where she had died. She started to go back into her
nervous habit, the one she had before she had died. She started
twitching her fingers as the memories of her past life began to
haunt her again.

Lucinda looked around and could tell why Kaori was so pale, it was
the New York City in the US, not where she died but probably where
Kaori did. “What do we do?” She asked
Julius say down at the meeting point. ‘Surely.’ Surely they’d
come.’ He sat down and waited. ‘I mean it’s not like they can jump
through a portal.’ He sat and smiled. He hummed a little tune and
stared at his watch. ‘I bet they’re on their way here.’
"How 'bout we find a place to stay first? Or at least a place to
talk in private. I've scanned the thoughts in the area, none of
them belong to Olivia or the Minister."
“Yes but where do we go? We can’t just go into an inn and say: “hi!
I’m from the underworld, mind if we stay here without paying? Also,
we are totally not the teenagers you saw on the news who died.”
Lucinda said and jumped up around Kaori’s neck.
Olivia
Olivia walked through the portal, the Minister wasn’t anywhere in
sight. She sighed, hopefully Athena and other ghosts could get into
the overworld. She headed to one of the main streets in New York
City
Kaori looked down. "I mean, most of us died a while ago, right? I'm
sure that they won't recognize us." she said quietly. Her problem
was different. She had only died a few months ago, and seeing New
York again was nostalgic. Stroking Lucinda the Cat, she tried to
remember all the roads and directions of the big city.

"Hopefully, we can find some sort of safe house. New York has
plenty. I'm pretty sure that there was one by Main Street." Kaori
said, mumbling a little. "I think I know where we are" she added,
pointing to a sign that said 'Bomb Boulevard."

Olivia:
Olivia walked down the street, then she walked past three girls,
and then she stopped and (did not turn around) walked backwards,
like a rewind and turned to look at Lucinda, Athena and Kaori. She
gasped and practically jumped into Lucinda, hugging her so hard
they both fell over :3
Kaori jumped back in surprise. What is Olivia doing here?
she thought as she backed away for the crazy #Ocinda moment. She
backed away into a wall and turned around. There were so many
'alive people' and her head was dizzy from the recent battle, still
from the sedative, and from the teleportation. She sat down, and
tried not to focus and anything.
