I'm finally going to a place where I won't be hunted down."[/i][/color][/center] This was too good to be true, Ryte thought. Just laying in the arms of a total stranger that knows what she's doing compared to her. She could feel her eyes getting heavy, her bright yellow eyes dimming as she finally knew that what's waiting ahead is a warm bed and a cozy blanket for her to sleep in without fear of any of the rogue magi currently after her. She thought her luck had changed. She thought some semblance of Fate had come to bring her out of this. Unfortunately for her, it was really too good to be true. The smell of smoke filled her nostrils, invading it, disturbing the peace she had created in her mind. She woke up, now out of fear instead of her last-minute calm demeanor. She let go of Tenryuu and turned to the old cottage she stood in, only for her to look on in horror. The only things she saw as the cottage collapsed. Was a very angry Saber and a downed Caster, [i]her[/i] Caster, [i]her[/i] supposed "powerful" familiar. She wasted her mana for this, she wasn't going to waste something as precious as him especially since she had overused it upon arriving here. [center][color=gold][i]"No. No. Nonononononono. Why? I-I thought-"[/i][/color][/center] She turned to Tenryuu, gripping her shoulders and kneeling down in front of her as she sobbed. [color=gold]"T-tell him to stop! That one was yours right? Tell him to stop!"[/color] Exclaiming like a little girl whose toy was being taken away. If Tenryuu wasn't going to agree to it, then she'll have to use a Command Spell on accident... [i][b][u]again.[/u][/b][/i] It's bad news if Masters are left with one. She bit her lip, a little too much as blood trickles down the side, slowly shuffling to the burning cottage just murmuring the Saber to stop and for the Caster to stand and come to her side. Her hand clenching into a fist as the heat she's experiencing was incomprehensible, it was hotter than any fire she stood near.

Embassy of Japan - (High Rise District ~ Arc De Triomphe) → Nobukara's Location → Hôtel-Dieu de Paris (The Core) Dusk[/color][/h2][/center] Nobunaga was enjoying herself, taking big spoonfuls of delicious desserts in her mouth. Just as she was about to eat one, she stopped midway, like something just tugged on her head- her soul- her spirit core. Something must have happened. She placed the spoon down, trying to communicate with her Master as she walked out without paying. It's a good thing that the place was populated otherwise someone would've called her out. [center][i][color=ed1c24]"Nobukara? Descendant? It's been way too long. Report."[/color][/i][/center] Just as high commanding officer would to a low ranking soldier, she'd expect some report by now. Pacing her steps and speeding up just a little as she put on her most serious face, fixing up her stylish Bakufu cap and readied her sword to draw should she encounter any resistance. [center][i][color=ed1c24]"Master. I repeat, report to me what happened."[/color][/i][/center] A click of her tongue, irritation. Something indeed happened. Was she captured? It matters not! For her, anything is possible if it meant destroying their entire base. In a lonely street right near the entrance to a randomly numbered arrondisement did the Demon King start running up a wall and onto the rooftop, leaping from top floor to top floor as nothing but a mysterious blur in the darkness, whenever she obscures the moon, it's more akin to a bat or a raven midflight. Even now she kept contact with her, not wanting to lose hope if the worst case scenario started. [center][i][color=ed1c24]"I'm nearing you right now. Don't worry. I won't let a family member die on my watch!"[/color][/i][/center] She stands across the Penthouse Suite, on top of an empty building just in front of it. She could feel her Master's still presence there and without hesitation, leaped for it... several matchlocks just floating right next to her as she broke into the room of Roland's Master, Charlotte. [color=ed1c24]"MASTER!"[/color] She called out. [color=ed1c24]"WHERE ARE YOU?!"[/color] she had to rummage the place, ransack it to the core and if some places were locked. She was going to destroy them with a shot of her matchlock. Sure it made a hell of a lot of noise but it was to get a family member in and out. Some jewelry, some clothes, strands of blonde hair, strands of black hair. She checked every nook and cranny of the Thunderthot's workshop until she made her way to Nobukara just sprawled out, unconscious on the floor. With a sigh of relief, she hoisted her up over her shoulder and gave her a pat on the back. [color=ed1c24]"Should've been mroe careful Nobukara... let's get you to the infirmary!"[/color] With a victorious shout, she let her floating matchlocks lay waste to Charlotte's room and anything she may have left behind as a trap. No one was going to harm her ever again. The only way to do this was to let this room be nothing but ash. ... Nobunaga kicked open the hospital double doors, nearly knocking someone in the way of the emergency room. [color=ed1c24]"Hello! Yes! My sister is gravely injured and we're foreign dignitaries from Japan!"[/color] She said, slapping the necessary credentials needed for them to confirm that they are part of the Japanese Embassy. [color=ed1c24]"I need her well and you're going to help her right now, do you understand?!"[/color] Aggressively slamming the counter, which nearly caused it to crack. Nobunaga demanded that these people help her or else everyone in the hospital had to suffer the same fate as Charlotte's room. [@floodtalon] [@Crusader Lord]
