Emiri wiped her tears away as the group discussed on their next action. She didn't even want to keep going, but Nadeline had a point. When Jaakuna asked where they would even start to look, she felt she needed to locate it. Taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to focus on finding Chaos. Just like the other Espers, he radiated his own kind of Mist. What made it difficult was more the location: the Necrohol of Nabudis swam with Mist and made it difficult to properly pinpoint his location. Still, she could somewhat get a hold on where he was, even if it was slightly fuzzy.

[i]So you have come, child.[/i]

Why did she recognize this voice? No matter how much she tried, though, she couldn't match an identity to it.

[i]Come along now. Don't keep me waiting, scion of time.[/i]

Nadeline thought to herself as Emiri was concentrating. As big as this place was, she was sure they were pretty deep in. As she was the one who had been running around the place the most, she was pretty sure they would have to just keep going. After a moment, Emiri would then open her eyes, taking out her bow. "[b]He's not far.[/b]" She stated, beckoning the group to follow her. Grant let out a small sigh, clearly displeased at the thought of having to go in further, though he followed nonetheless.

Sion smiled at Francis. "[b]Pay no attention to her, she plays for the other team.[/b]" The blue haired woman informed him, lightly waving Lola away. The brunette pouted, not appreciating being sent away. Still she stood up, and instead headed deeper into the jungle. "[b]Until next time, Wolf.[/b]" Shion bid her farewell and followed Lola. After a distance, the purple girl hopped down from the trees, though she knelt down as Shion approached her. "[b]You've become reckless.[/b]" Shion stated to Lola, her expression one of clear displeasure. "[b]What is your excuse?[/b]"

"[b]Don't blame me..[/b]" Lola mumbled as she stood, crossing her arms. "[b]If Zodiark hadn't interfered I would have had them all.[/b]"

Again with the damned Esper. Still, Shion was not an idiot, and she glared at Lola. "[b]I told you before, that girl needed to be eliminated, I don't care about the rest.[/b]" She snapped, and Lola winced. "[b]At the very least if she was dead, the other Espers would lose their physical connection, and the only one we would have had to be concerned with was Zodiark himself.[/b]" She reminded her. "[b]Not only that, you had her, and instead of killing her you decided to have 'fun'. I warned you, giving her the slightest opening would be your downfall, that ability of hers greatly outclasses any natural magic.[/b]"

Lola nodded rather guiltily. "[b]Sorry, Boss...[/b]"

"[b]I'll have to send Meli, get to Giruvegan and start looking for Ultima.[/b]" Shion ordered.

"[b]What? Aw, come on, that crystal is much too big, I must have sent nearly a hundred men in there and none of them have been able to locate the Esper![/b]" Lola whined. "[b]I tell you, that place [i]knows[/i], it creeps me out! Not to mention that rather nasty giant mimic we encountered...thank goodness it was inactive or we may have had a problem...[/b]" She pointed out.

"[b]Consider it punishment.[/b]"
