The two of you began walking towards the city the IDEC solider referred to as 'Lastation'. Nothing much were to be seen besides the green pastures and a wide river that flowed towards the industrial city.

That is until you see someone hauling himself out of the river. Your sharp eyes could see that he was bleeding. No, you did not see his wounds rather, you saw a red patch in the river where he once was that was quickly washed away by the current.

"[color=f7941d]Ugggghhhh...[/color]" The male person moaned as he crawled away from the river. Spotting you, he mustered what strength he had and spoke. "[color=f7941d]Pleeaaaassee... He... he mustn't... reach Lastation...[/color]" He coughed a bit before resuming. "[color=f7941d]He's... coming... from the river...[/color]"

From his appearance, it seemed he was a military soldier resembling that of IDEC's forces. He could be IDEC but you could not be sure until you hear it from his mouth. "[color=f7941d]He... he mustn't... reach... Lastation.[/color]" He muttered again. "[color=f7941d]...He... can't... there's... too much... to lose...[/color]"

It was up to you what to do with this dying soldier and his request.

[quote=Tamas]"I would appreciate it if you came to me with anything you might find. I don't think that it would be too had, I'm afraid that I stand out a bit. So who is this friend that might know something about the Drexler Institute? I'd like to speak to them if possible."[/quote]

"[color=0072bc]That would be Miss Petra Lagerkvist. Of the Celestial Union.[/color]" The girls answered. "[color=0072bc]I believe she is currently at Rosenberg. If not, there are other people there you can talk about Drexler Institute.[/color]" She added before pointing at a direction. "[color=0072bc]I would love to accompany you, Inspector, but I have classes to attend to. I wish you luck, Inspector Tamas.[/color]"

The girl went about her way and into the Academy, leaving you alone but at least with a lead. But before you could do anything, someone had decided to approach you. "[color=a2d39c]She's is a little young, is she not?[/color]" The male voice spoke with a (Russian) accent. "[color=a2d39c]I know the laws here are different but come on, man.[/color]"

He then let out a hearty laugh, clearly enjoying the accusation jokes. Though, it was up to you how to feel about that.

"[color=fff200]Oh? I was just going to give you a kiss.[/color]" The blonde girl remarked at your evasion. "[color=fff200]I, Annabelle Orlov, give the finest kisses in all of Arcadia.[/color]" She boasted. A clear lie to you after seeing what she attempted.

She materialized a pair of daggers on her hands and assumed a stance but before either of you could do anything, a pillar of light appeared in the middle of the battlefield that is the alleyway.

Rielle was about to fire her lightning attack until she noticed you forming above her. She immediately cancelled her spell to roll out of the way before you dropped unto the stone pavement of the alleyway.

But before either of you could do anything else, a pillar of light appeared in the middle of the battlefield that is the alleyway.

-[@VitaVitaAR] (YMU) & [@Hammerman]-

The pillar of light that caught everyone's attention soon dissipated, revealing a [url=http://valkyriecrusade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Oracle_home.png]woman who was clearly not a commoner[/url]. "[color=6ecff6]What is the meaning of this?! What's going on here?![/color]" Spotting Rielle, her attention went to the magician. "[color=6ecff6]Miss Rielle? What are you doing here? Should you not be at the tournament?[/color]" She quickly asked.

"[color=39b54a]What am I doing here?[/color]" Rielle repeated the question. "[color=39b54a]Why don't you ask those dips***s over there? The girl with the katana and the oversized snowball.[/color]"

The woman went over to [u]Youmu[/u], seeing as [u]Victoria[/u] did not look like in a talking form. "[color=6ecff6]Young woman, do you mind elaborating as to what is happening here?[/color]"
