[color=ed1c24]“Yeah we met alright…”[/color]

Ruxen was grumbling to herself, still outraged that this annoying peddler was even still alive. How long had it been? Somehow the blonde girl didn’t even look a day older since the first time they had met; which was another story for another time. Continuing to give Mikoto a hard stare, Ruxen blinked in outright disbelief as she was handed a very familiar green and orange box.

[color=ed1c24]“How the fuck did you even get this?”[/color] Ruxen muttered before tearing the box’s top off and digging one paw in to scoop up her treats. As Mikoto went about her usual theatrics, Ruxen crunched away at the bland and average tasting snack. Best chow in the land, huh…well at least it was free for now. Ruxen knew full well the ridiculous prices Mikoto could charge her clients for.

Seeing the bright Yellow Relic though caught her attention, Ruxen’s nose twitching. Chen probably wanted to know if Mikoto was actually scamming him or not so the Beastkin rolled her eyes before leaning forward. She took one small whiff, catching the Relic’s scent…before curling her lip into a frown and recoiling back.

[color=ed1c24]“Aw what the hell Mikoto?!? The fuck did you drench this thing in? Piss?”[/color] Ruxen questioned angrily. The peddler must have dabbed the Relic in something to ensure the Beastkin wouldn’t be able to distinguish treasure from bust. Genius on her part…and all the more reason why Ruxen never visited this chick.

[color=ed1c24]“A bit of fun? Even though there’s a massive battle tourney going on right now?”[/color] Mariette questioned, as if to herself. She tilted her head and brought a finger to her chin. Then she smiled, as if figuring out some great secret before grabbing Kasie’s hand and leading her off towards the direction of the Coliseum. 

[color=ed1c24]“Ah, so you want to join the Academy, is that it? And you find all this bloodshed fun? You certainly are a girl who shares my own interests and heart,”[/color] Mariette giggled as she led Kasie through the small village and ever closer to the next beginning match. [color=ed1c24]“It’s no wonder you were able to recognize me. I am the Student President of the Academy after all, Mariette Shej. A pleasure to meet you! Oh! But we have to hurry. We don’t want to lose the good seats, right?”[/color]

Unsurprisingly, the two girls were easily allowed into the crowded viewing areas of the battle arena. Seeing as everyone within Exillia was a part of reeking scum and villainy, it was not strange to see ones so young fascinated with the spilling of blood. Mariette held Kasie’s hand with an iron grip, determined not to lose her in the raving mass of people cheering.

But such shifting chaos was perhaps nothing compared to the madness taking place over the skies of Arcadia. As Tori ran to try and seek control of the ship, she would find the captain slouched back in his seat, a spear of metal and shrapnel impaling his mid-section. Nothing else could have caused this besides the monster attacking them outside.

That meant this creature was smart. Dangerously so. The actual monster itself was growling out in pained snarls as the twins launched their attack on it. The massive hornet-like creatures did a number on the creature’s face before metal claws would be found embedded in each summoning, the dragon growling with ever growing rage. As it did so, it set its mechanical eyes right on the twins and prepared to lunge.

Before it could so, something light and powerful landed on its back, the condensed wind blow from Alex connecting. Looking around, the dragon immediately spotted Alex and took his landing as an opportunity to pounce, gripping the man in its metal-clawed hand and slamming him through the floor of the ship, hanging him precariously above the earth below.

But whatever intent it had, it was stopped in mid-motion by something heavy and physical plopping on its head. The mechanical abomination whirred and screeched with eyes flickering as it slumped forward. Its sharp beak cut right through the flooring of the ship, making control of it all the more difficult as they began to spin out of the air.
