Zac would have been completely lost if not for Jian. First off, he had a terrible sense of direction, which was one of the reasons he had decided to live in his place of work. Grinning, he says, "Great thinking!" He then wraps his hand around her wrist and exclaims, "Let's go, then!" Pulling Jian along with him, Zac takes off in the general direction she had pointed out.

A little while later, he stops as a loud crash sounds. "This way!" he says, turning down an alleyway. Reaching the end, he stops just as a large boulder crashes into the sidewalk. "Whoa!" he yelps, jumping back. He then watches as someone runs past, a massive worm-like creature after him. Grinning, Zac says, "Alright, another monster! Let's go!"

Drawing his sword, Zac jumps over the impact of the boulder and races forward. Just as the worm launches another boulder, Zac jumps between the attack and the stranger, whom he assumes is Akio. "Hey," he says before turning to the approaching boulder. Gripping his weapon in both hands, Zac slashes vertically downward, slicing through the boulder as if it didn't exist. "If you haven't gotten your weapon figured out, run for it," he says without looking back at him. "I'll handle this."
