[b]Ruiko Saten - Nova's Palace, Arcadia-1[/b]

Any worry that Ruiko had about the falling ship was arrested as Nova once again displayed those astounding powers of his, the explosion wiped away like it had never been there and the people on the ship recovered in the process, alive and well. It was so fast one might blink and miss it, and it was once again too impressive to describe, even compared to the gate that he had created earlier. 

That left her with a choice, and one that she felt pressing on her mind. Nova wanted her to go to Switzerland, to recover a terminal from a dangerous foe that was apparently there. Apparently it was one that would prove a challenge even for Nova himself, and she shuddered to think of what that meant. It provided a reason for why she took so long to decide, coupled with the events that went on around her. 

As Nova found out that his Throne could turn people in Chibis, Ruiko at last reached her decision. "I'll go," she told him, moving to join the others at the entrance to the Eternity Gate. She wanted to prove herself, to finally help others just like she had wanted when she first took the Level Upper. She would not miss this opportunity if she could help it. So she stood poised and altert, ready to go.

[b]Ahsoka Tano - Eastgate City, Arcadia-2[/b]

It wasn't long until the group came to a stop, deciding to take a break. Ahsoka could have walked on for a while longer, but she would rest for the same of the group, who seemed like they needed it. Certainly she could feel that tension in the air, and sense dark tidings in the Force. What they had escaped from, they had not seen the last of it. That much was obvious to tell.

Approached by Gojirah, she nodded in turn. "I do," she confirmed, glancing around. She would definitely make that a priority, since otherwise it seemed like they wouldn't have any money at all. And without that, they would be fairly out of luck, wouldn't they?

She was about to walk off when there was suddenly a loud crash, someone slamming into the ground and making a crater in the process. Yet after a few moments the person revealed herself to be light, and also revealed herself to be perfectly intact, at least by physical appearances. "Are you alright," Ahsoka asked as she walked over. "That looked like quite the fall."
