As Roman would surprisingly prop up from his desk, he would greet everyone and simply ask what they wanted. Nadeline bowed and so did everyone else aside Jaakuna. The blonde man just sighed and spoke. [b]“Sorry for barging in like this, Roman, but there are no time for pleasantries, sadly.” [/b]Jaakuna said as he looked to Wesley and Grant as if wanting them to take the floor. Wesley looked at Jaakuna and he stepped forward. 

[b]“Shadow Hounds plague The High Life and are murdering your citizens as we speak.”[/b] Wesley said, [/b]“We would have stopped them, but as you can see we are without weapons and we also have another problem.” [/b]Wesley said looking down, and then looked back up after a half of a minute. [b]“A woman by the name of Meli with dangerous powers also came. Right now, Savayna is holding her off, but even as good as she is, I don‘t think Savayna can hold that woman off for much longer.”[/b] Wesley admitted to Roman. [b]“I also have no doubt that the Shadow Hounds are the work of Zodiark.”[/b] As soon as Wesley said that, Jaakuna looked at him, shocked as all hell by what he just said.

When Shion stated that the date wouldn’t have to end just cause Francis’ duties as a judge called for him, he smiled. He would also leave the right amount of gil for the meal as well as a tip that was the exact amount of the meal, which was over one-thousand gil. As they would depart, they would start walking to The High Life. Good thing for them(maybe not), the club was only a ten minute walk from where they were at. The area of Archades they’re currently in has been called the Party District by the kids. It’s where the nightclubs are, theatres and pretty much anything one would need to have a good time.

[b]“Okay, it looks like we’re here.”[/b] Francis stated. He and Shion would walk to the front door and no one was guarding it, not the bouncer, not anyone. Sighing, Francis merely pressed the tie on his suit, which emitted a gold glow from it. In the seconds that would follow, Francis would be in his Judge Armor. However, his helmet was the only thing that he wasn’t wearing. He and Shion would step into the club and immediately the atmosphere that the club would usually have was absent. In its place, grim death was all around. The people who came to The High Life to dance and let loose all laid dead and puddles upon puddles of blood were where their bodies laid. The Shadow Hounds were all dead too, oozing out sticky, black blood. [b]“Hmm, there was obviously a worry here, but it seems that there isn’t one anymore.”[/b] Francis said observing the carnage. 

And then he saw.

As he would inspect more, Francis saw his son, Michelangelo Von Sicarius. [b]“Michel!?”[/b] Francis yelled out. [b]“Why are you here?”[/b] He asked him with pleading eyes.

Michel turned around and he not only saw his father, but his boss. [b]“Father, I hope your date went well.”[/b]

As Meli too would stand poised ready for battle, she would speak about Savayna couldn’t handle her. The Ice Queen would smile and lick her lips at that statement, as if wanting to see if Meli was true in saying that. She would further state that Meli couldn’t kill her, but could remove a limb or two. This would cause Savayna to raise an eyebrow. [b]“Doubting our own skills, are we?” [/b]She said chuckling. [b]“I would have imagined a slut of your caliber wouldn’t hesitate to kill me or are you, like your clothing, left without any imagination?[/b]” She would laugh again. Savayna enjoyed teasing this woman.
