The firewater dragon blinked softly as he looked at the ice dragon teen, frowning a little as Winter started to cry at Chu's stern words. Aster opened his mouth slightly, but before he could utter a word of comfort, the teen quickly left the bar. Not long after, the more tipsy teen followed suit. Worry took a knife to his heart and his stomach turned painfully. Leaving so suddenly was also suspicious, and risky when going alone in the city without much experience. Fear started to prick his way in his body, and his hands trembled as thoughts rushed through his head.

It was then he glanced toward the two hooded men, the newest arrival now watching them, studying them. Piercing his lips, his fingers clasped the glass tightly as he felt his heart pound against his chest. They know... He could see it... And that man, whoever he was, was dangerous. There may be more around, preying on the teens.

Aster was deathly afraid... But... He worried for the safety of his companions. Taking a deep breathe to calm his nerves he glanced to the earth dragon and the grandfather. [b]"You need to leave quickly... It's no longer safe here... So hurry after this..."[/b] the red haired man said quietly before glancing toward Chu and gave a gentle warm smile. [b]"...Take care of Myrtle... Dear Chu."[/b] he said softly, pressing his index finger to his own lips before pressing them against Chu's in a indirect kiss. Perhaps it was talking or he simply wanted to tease him back after the whole day of teasing, but he didn't care right now. He suddenly stood and waved to them. 

[b]"Now you drunken men get back to your lovely wives. They're going to scold you for being out so late . Sorry to bother you, my darling children can be quite temperamental. We just came here after all."[/b] he said a bit louder now, before turning quickly, his bangs swishing away from his eyes to reveal the odd coloring.

Instantly, the two hooded strangers stood when he turned his back on them. Hearing the chairs shift, Aster hurriedly moved out the door, feeling the two hooded humans follow him. Once in the alley, he sprinted, listening to the footsteps behind him, his heart roaring in his ear as terror filled every fiber of his being. Not too long, he found the two teens, netted and unconscious with several men around them. 

Aster looked at them before looking behind him to see the two hooded men who had followed him. He at least led these two away from Chu and The Grandfather. At least... They will be alright.. Body trembling, his glowing amethyst eyes watched each cloaked hunter before leaping out of the way of a thrown net, eyes glowing as streaks of flame and water swirled around his body in a red and blue tornado. The elements then formed several swords, two of which he held in his hands.

[b]"Ah, a adult, quite a fine catch... Though this one seems quite nervous... Yet your still not trying to fly away? Worried about your foolish little friends?"[/b] the large cloaked man from the bar grinned.

As the hunters drew closer, Aster waved his hands and the multiple elemental blades lashed out at them, the blades looking so fierce yet elegant and beautiful and streaks of blue and red meshed together to defend the firewater dragon. It was then though the large man from the bar removed his hood, revealing his left glowing golden eye... The pupil slitted... A dragons eye... And magic ebbed from it. Quickly, Aster brought his blades up and blocked a large golden sword that almost looked like a bone. Actually this mans's sword, the helmet... The armor.. Were made up of dragon bones.

[b]"Haha fearful little dragons shouldn't be fighting... Bad things tend to happen to those who struggle..."[/b] The dragon armored human spoke before leaping away and to Aster's surprise, the bone sword left its golden handle to lunge toward him, connected to the handle by a chain. Before Aster could react, the weapon pierced right through his stomach.

Freezing, he coughed as he struggled to remain standing, but yet again another surprise came, as the tip of the sword that stuck out from his back, opened and a net enveloped him. His magic faded and his body trembled as the man came closer, before punching him across the face, causing the adult to fall to the ground. Aster wanted to whimper, to cry, to simply stop breathing... But he just curled his body and breathed heavily, before finally losing conciousness... Perhaps a safer place to him.

The dragon armored Hunter looked down at the three newest prisoners before nodding to the others. [b]"Take them to headquarters..."[/b] he said firmly, watching as his fellow hunters grabbed the limp bodies and started off back to HQ.
