(Is it sad that the first thing those words made me think of was a period?)
Hinata dodged to the right, trying to retaliate with a slash to the chest.

(Now that you mentioned it… XD)

The Taurus armor used its horns to smack Hinata’s sword out of her hand, causing her to lose balance.
“Ten no Hana” Sebastian muttered out loud those words, covering the Taurus with a giant golden flower before it could do anything, giving Hinata the opportunity to grab her sword and attack once or twice.

Loki sighed not needed so she started to walk off and continue her quest

Hinata, while regaining her balance, held her hand out. She sword flew into her outstretched palm, and she attacked.

The Taurus armor downright grabbed the blade with his hand. Unfortunately for the Taurus warrior, their helm fell off, revealing who was inside.
“Forest…” Cassius muttered, immediately getting into his serious mode.

Hinata tugged on her sword, trying to pull it away.
"Sh*t!" She exclaimed when she saw who was wearing the armor.

When the helm fell off, Forest summoned up to a hundred swords.
“GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!” he fired the swords in completely random directions around him as he knelt down and pressed against his head. The scream was more likely from fear and disgust than from anger.

Hinata was more than happy to comply, dodging swords that flew her way.

Forest was still firing out swords… but pass the screams of the man came a cry. Rolling tears were visible on his face which reflected the glowing crimson shade of his eyes. One of the swords would hit Hinata, directly on her shoulder.

Hinata cursed, clutching the shoulder the sword hit. She pulled it out, unable to heal herself without her attention being taken away from the fight. She sheathed the sword she held in that hand, knowing she wouldn't be able to fully use it without it being a burden.

“Hinata!” Cassius called from above her. He had been using the swords as platforms to jump on. He gestured to his hand, raising his index finger and aimed it as the sphere of swords surround Forest. He backflipped off a sword before firing three water based energy sharks at the sword spheres, soaking them.

"I'll be fine!" she yelled up at him, wincing slightly as she took her hand off of her shoulder. Instinctively, she fired two pods out to send electricity through Cassius' water.

When the electricity voltage hit the sphere, Sebastian who was on the other side of the field from Hinata jumped away from a sword, spun twice and threw a lightning enchanted rod at the sphere, causing a searing thunderbolt down on the hemisphere.

When the collision occurred, the floating swords fell on the ground and the hemisphere broke, revealing the Taurus warrior, kneeling in pain inside it.

Hinata was breathing heavily, pain blossoming in her shoulder every time she moved. Ignoring this the best she could, she turned to the others.
"Any ideas on how to help?" She asked.

Cassius turned to Hinata.
“Here, stay still…” he covered the wound with his hand, healing it by bringing back and purifying lost blood. He then used his red strings to tie the wound shut, blessing it with some of his own magic as well.

Sebastian, on the other hand, went over to Forest and yanked the armor off him, calling the armor to reform.
“Three to go… I think we can leave him t—” before Sebastian could finish his sentence, a purple and black scythe landed right in front of him which immediately turned his attention towards it instead of finishing what he was going to say.

Hinata thanked Cassius quietly as he was working, then turned to look at Sebastian while he was speaking. When the scythe appeared, her head immediately turned to see who the scythe had come from.

“Whoops” a small childlike figure appeared, sitting on the handle of the scythe.
“Sorry Sebastian, nearly hit you there” the scythe came out of the ground as the figure was still sitting on it. They and the scythe floated together in midair as the small figure turned their attention to Hinata.
“Narok Killain, a Mythical Warrior of the Labyrinth named The Royal Reaper” the tiny figure introduced. His body didn’t fit the title of ‘The Royal Reaper’ in any way.

When she out of earshot Loki had muttered "Nothing helpful there" and sat down to rest

"Hinata Hayashi, Balance Keeper of the Multiverse." She gave a bow, then straightened.

“As I’ve said…” Cronos walked up to Loki “…looking around won’t be any help. Your best bet is to contact Edge who is the Master of the Portal Hallways, see if he can help. He’s at the Central Hall” he suggested with the slightest hint of a smile from his cloak.

(For Hinata, this is the start of the seventh ending if you…)

Narok smiled in greetings.
“I need your help actually” he tapped his chin.
“My actual scythe is in the Gallery, and I can’t go in there so if you’d be so kind, could you go get it for me?” He requested with a raised brow.

"Sorry, but I don't think I can help you there. We're in the middle of something else at the moment." Hinata shrugged, politely declining to help.

Narok nodded.
“Alright, tell me when you change your mind” he then took off with the scythe.
Cassius scratched his back of his neck.
“The closest one now is the Sagittarius”

Hinata nodded.
"Let's get this over with."

Without having to walk away, a rain of golden arrows came falling down on the group. A golden armored centaur-like entity stood at a higher altitude than the group, specifically on a ledge. They were holding a golden and azure colored bow with a quiver tied by their side.

Sighing, Hinata knocked several arrows aside, keeping the majority of her attention on the armor.
"I really didn't mean literally, but okay."

The armor jumped down and immediately took off his helm.
“Apologies!!” Chris, the plague doctor of the Labyrinth, quickly apologized when he realized who he had fired at.

Hinata sighed in relief, untensing.
"It's fine; a lot of people on edge."

Cassius smacked the back of Chris’ head once.
“Next time use your crows to scout first damn it” he jokingly complained.
The Sagittarius armor dispersed.
“Since you all are collecting these, here” he tossed the inscription to Cassius to which he caught with perfection.
“Thanks dude” he ended before Chris’ crow wings appeared and spread out. He took off into the skies and flew back towards the Research Building.

“Only Scorpio and Aquarius remain” Sebastian brought up with a smile.

Hinata chuckled at the two men's exchange. After Sebastian spoke, she nodded.
"This is going to be interesting. Hopefully, neither are about to pop up and try to murder us."
