You know I'm in. :D

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Why is she still trying to hide it? I know already.

If Jaakuna was to say that he wasn’t a little mad at Emiri for still trying to hide the fact that her powers weren’t failing her, then he would be doing what she was doing and lying to himself. He knew that she knew and it made him hurt a little inside. Jaakuna didn’t want to flat out yell at her for lying, but what should he do in a situation like this? He doesn’t want to lose her cause of what may happen to her if she uses her powers again. At least, in the same degree that she did when she healed his father. No, he definitely doesn’t want to lose her.

As he sat across from her, hearing her obvious lies, Jaakuna would just speak. “That’s enough.” He said rather bluntly. “You’re not fine, and you know it!” He said looking at her, “You got frozen in time for gods’ sake. You were lucky that you were able to pull yourself out of it.” Perhaps he was being a little too blunt, but she needed to hear it. “Damn it Emiri, what if it happens again and you’re not able to do it? What will I do with myself if you’re not here?” At this point, Jaakuna sounded more like he was pleading with her than reminding her about the supposed hiccup. It was at this point that he took her hands and made sure that she was looking at him. “Listen to me, it’s not just a hiccup. Your powers are slowly getting out of your control the more that you use them.” Jaakuna still held her hands and still looked into her violet eyes. “I beg of you, please don’t use them anymore. If not for you or Grant or Nadeline or your parents, then for me. I’ve already done..” Just as he was about to speak about Zodiark, Jaakuna stopped himself. He knew that he was saying too much at once. How will I even tell her about what I did in regards to him?

---

As Nadeline listened, Wesley saw the obvious shock on her face. He didn’t think that she would be satisfied or anything of the sort after hearing about Emiri’s powers. That was when she would ask how did Jaakuna find out and Grant said that Justine told him. Nadeline would then ask if Emiri knew. That was the thing that Wesley didn’t know for sure. He remembered Jaakuna said that he would tell Emiri when he got the chance. He prayed that it was sooner than later.

“I don’t know. He said he would tell her as soon as he could. “ Wesley said biting his thumb. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s telling her as we speak.” Wesley said as he slightly shrugged. He would then lightly clap his hands. “In any case, we’re here.” Wesley said.

As the Armory came to view, Wesley couldn’t help but chuckle as he saw that the lock was back on the door and it seemed to be magic proof this time around. It was no doubt that they did that to ensure that no one — especially those like Grant or Wesley — could smash the door through. Regardless of that, the trio would head into the armory and as they would come to view of it, they would split and find weapons of their own personal tastes.

As Wesley looked around, he saw that they restocked on some weapons and even added some new weapons. Wesley remembered the last time he was in this specific armory and he got the gems that were the Yagyu Darkblade and his Demon Shield. He still has them in the Ifrit, so he wasn’t going to get repeats. Instead, he was going to find something completely different. Yes, Wesley was going to find a sword that was true to him. He continued on and he wound up in the area where the Katanas were at. As he looked around, he seemed to be attracted to a certain one that was hanging high above the rest. There was a certain golden-brown glow about it, but it was different. It was as if it was calling Wesley specifically.

Going to the sword, Wesley touched it and only around him, a glow surrounded him, transporting him to a coliseum of sorts. The coliseum itself was comprised of several shades of orange and brown and gold, four floors of seat and all surrounding him. On the ground was pure dirt and Wesley stood on opposite sides of a lion-like creature. Two gigantic claws attached to its arms and cuffs were around his wrists with chains hanging from the bottom of them. This creature had white hair both around most of his face and head. Wesley looked at this creature and he swore he looked familiar.

“Descendent of Raithwall, Heir to Dalmasca — I have found you at last.” Said the creature, voice deep and echoing.

Wesley looked at him as if confused. “Wait, are you..? No, it couldn’t be. Hashmaal?” Wesley asked him.

The creature smiled. “I have been called many names. In the old times, the Humes called me Leo, The Lion. However, the legends of you Humes have referred to me as Hashmaal, Bringer of Order.” Hashmaal said.

Wesley was completely dumbfounded. “Why have you presented yourself to me?” Wesley asked as he tried not to freak the hell out.

Hashmaal walked straight up to Wesley and as he did, Wesley saw how tall the Esper truly was. With the Dalmascan Prince being barely six foot, he didn’t even come to Hashmaal’s waist, showing that Hashmaal was around ten feet tall. “Descendent of Raithwall, Ivalice weeps for her children. The Viera have sensed it and my two dear friends hear it too. They know of our King who is bringing the end of Ivalice.” Hashmaal said as his claws would form into a hand. “Descendent of Raithwall, you are the one who shall take my strength and fold it for your mission to save Ivalice.” He said placing a hand upon Wesley’s head, covering it entirely only leaving Wesley’s eyes uncovered. “You are far away, yet you are so close.” He said as a glow emitted from his hands. “I grant you with The Lion Seal, the one that another was branded with but could not tap into its power. With this you will be granted the Sword of Order, the weapon your ancestor used to save Ivalice that came to be known as the Galtean Alliance.” Hashmaal told Wesley as he removed his hand and it would then retreat back into its claw-like form.

Wesley didn’t know how to explain it, but he felt stronger. He would look at his arms and along his right forearm, an orangeish-brown symbol appeared. It would flash and then disappear. “Hashmaal, I thank you. I will come to you within the sun’s next setting.” Wesley said. Hashmaal just smiled and Wesley was teleported back to the Armory and time barely passed, maybe like a five minutes. The funny thing about it all was that Wesley would just be seen standing staring at the sword in his hand.

---

The hug was cut short(much to Francis’ disappointment). Meli offered an apologetic shrug and departed through a shadow. If Francis hadn’t seen it for himself, he wouldn’t have believed it. He would then look to Michel who also shrugged, but he went to one knee, bowing to Shion. “So, uh, Boss, what do you wish for me to do?” He asked her. Francis looked over at Shion and looked at how loyal his son was. He smiled and just would let Shion give the orders to their--his son.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As they rode in the aircab, Jaakuna and Emiri sat across from each other. The aricab was full-speed to the Aerodome. It was more or less silent in the time that they walked on out of the Emperor’s Building. Sure they talked, but any questions that came to him about why Emiri had to stay behind with Jaakuna, he would change the topic. Even now, he sat quiet, but Jaakuna knew he had to tell her and he wanted to do in privacy. The good thing about the Aircab was that the window that blocked sound from the cabby was up and Jaakuna would inhale a deep breath. He looked to Emiri, and exhaled.

“I know about your powers.” Jaakuna said, “I know what they’re doing to you; or rather what they will do to you.” Jaakuna said clenching his fists. “I know that if you use them anymore, then you’ll be frozen in time and I wouldn’t have any chance of saving you.” Jaakuna was looking down at this point. He truly was terrified as seen in the way his hands were shaking. “That’s why I wanted you to stay behind. I know that if you were to go with them, there was a chance your powers would malfunction again. I couldn’t let that happen.” Jaakuna probably sounded selfish at this point, but maybe being selfish was what he needed to be. “And there’s more..” Jaakuna said with a tone of distance in his voice.

---

As they were walking to the Armory, Nadeline wouldn’t waste any time. She would instantly ask both Grant and Wesley what was going on with them. She would first look to Grant and then to Wesley. The Dalmascan prince was nervous, but he sighed. He looked to Grant and nodded, as if telling him that they had no choice to tell. “It’s a little complicated.” He said scratching the back of his head. “There is some stuff that Grant and I can tell you, but the rest, well we can’t; we promised Jaakuna that we wouldn’t.” Wesley said regretfully. “However, what we can tell, cause most likely Jaakuna is telling her as we speak, has to do with Emiri.” Wesley said looking to Grant once more. “Her powers are failing her. What you suspected beforehand, Nadeline, is what’s happening.” Wesley said, “According to Jaakuna, the more that she uses her time-stopping abilities, the more she risks being frozen in time.” Wesley said as he finished what he had to say.

---

Michel and Francis continued their laughing. It would continue for a minute longer until it faded into breathed-out chuckles. That’s when they made their way back to the ladies, who seemed to be having a serious moment. Francis wouldn’t ask about it. Michel knew the look that Meli had and how Shion’s face was. He had no doubt that Meli was getting a grilling from the boss.

As the four of them were together again, Michel scratched his cheek and would hold Meli’s hand and look to Francis. “Um, dad, there’s someone I would like you to meet.” He said showing redness on his face.

“Yes?“ Francis raised an eyebrow.

“This is Meli, my girlfriend.” He said standing straight up and looking at his father rather sternly.

Francis was a little shocked, but not for the reasons that his son thought he would be. “Well, Michel, it must be serious huh?” He said placing one arm across his chest and the other propped on it and the hand of the propped arm on his chin. Francis looked deep in comedic thought. “Well, there’s one thing I have to say.” He said looking at both Meli and Michel.

“Which is..?” Michel asked rather nervously.

“WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!!!!” Francis shouted, taking a pose, arms stretched out as he would hug not only Michel and Meli, but because she was close enough, Shion.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

“Code Orange huh?” Jaakuna smiled a bit. He knew that curfew all too well, as in his youth his father had pretty much branded him under that. Yup, Jaakuna definitely knew that one very much. Wesley would glance over to Jaakuna as the blonde-haired man would smile. Wesley couldn’t help but wonder if it had to do with the curfew. Wesley would just shrug and listen to Roman as he said that he would grant them unlimited access to the Armory. Wesley just smiled and looked to Grant. “The Armory, eh? Good times, am I right, Grant?” He said slightly nudging his future uncle-in-law.

Jaakuna wondered what Wesley meant by that, but he would shrug it off. “Then I guess we’ll take our leave, brother.” JAakuna said. “After this, there’s something you and I need to do.” Jaakuna said as he and the others would soon depart from Roman’s Office.

As they were out of the office, Jaakuna and Wesley exchanged looks. “Okay, you three go to the armory and do what you can. No doubt Savayna needs it.” Jaakuna said as he just looked at both Grant and Wesley and then to Nadeline. That was when the group split up. Jaakuna and Emiri went on to the outside of the Emperor’s Building, and caught an Aircab to the Aerodome to wait for them while the other three went to the Armory and help Savayna(once they got weapons of course.)

---

As Francis and no doubt Shion, listened to the half-naked chick, Savayna was just becoming disgusted. She didn’t want to think that Francis would actually buy what the shadow bitch was feeding him. Sure, it was exactly how it happened, but it still didn’t mean that Francis would have to buy it. She knew that Meli would try to sell this in any way that she could so that the bitch would come out like the victim. Savayna would not let that happen. “You can’t possibly believe this bitch. She’s the one who sought us out. If you had any idea what kind of day myself and my friends have had cause of this woman and that other ninja bitch..” Savayna was trying to sell it to him, but she saw the look on his face that Francis was still divided.

Looking and hearing Savayna, Francis sighed. “Just leave, Savayna” He said.

“What do you mean leave?” She said stepping forward, but Francis shot her a frightening(to her) look. Savayna stepped back and nodded. It was with that Savayna had ran out of the club, though she looked back at them. She knew something was up with the image of Francis telling her to leave and not backing her up. Whichever it was, she would not let it go.

As Savayna left, Michel looked to his father and then to Shion and to Meli. He really didn’t understand any of this. “Um, Dad, what’s going on?” Michel asked rather hesitantly.

Francis rubbed the area between his temples. He then looked around and he knew this would lead to some massive amounts of paperwork. He then looked to his son and the half-naked chick. “A lot of unwelcomed stress, that’s what.” He said glancing over to Shion. He then sighed and spoke. “I think what I said earlier will take a little longer than twelve hours.” He said not liking how things were shaping up. “Michel, come with me for a minute.” He said pretty much grabbing his son and pulling him a good ten or so feet away from the two ladies.

“What is it dad?” Michel asked nervously.
“I know what you got yourself involved in.” Francis replied.

“I don’t know what you‘re--”
“Boy, don’t act stupid! I know that you’re in Utena.”

“Levi told you, huh?” Michel said, laughing slightly.

“She shouldn’t had been the one to. Why didn’t you tell me?” Francis asked Michel.

Michel looked away, darting his eyes to Shion and Meli and then back to his father. “I didn’t want to worry you. Besides, with you being a judge, how--”
“Former judge.”
“What!?”
“Yeah, I was going to surprise you, but things changed — I changed. I’m going to be joining Utena as well.”

What Francis just told Michel sure as hell shocked the hell out of him, but he was very confused. He didn’t know what brought that up. “Why did you..?” Michel asked half-nervously, half-curiously.

Francis smiled. “Michel, you’re not that stupid right? What’s the first thing you know about me when it comes to making up my mind about something?” He said nudging his son.

Michel smiled. “A woman did this to you, huh?” He asked him as he thought about it and then looked over to Meli and Shion. “Wait you aren’t telling me..” Michel said rather shocked.

Francis nodded. “That’s right. Your old man is in love with that gem of a woman.” He said looking over to Shion.

Michel was totally mindblown, not even counting the fact that he was in love with Shion. “So, I guess your date did in fact go rather well for you.” Michel smiled. “But dad, you know she’s..”

“Yup, I know, but I don’t care.” Francis said, though he smiled at his son. “We’re a couple of suckers for love, aren’t we?” Francis laughed and Michel would laugh too. The both of them just couldn’t help but laugh a little loud, no doubt that Meli and Shion heard them.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As Roman told them that he would help in any way he could, Jaakuna and Wesley had a look of relief on their faces. Jaakuna was sure that Savayna wanted them to tell Roman so he was aware of what was happening. “Thank you, Roman.” Jaakuna said. Wesley would then speak. “I think for this to all work, one, you should have all Archadians with the exception of a few, should all go inside and then we’ll go to handle the mess.” Wesley told Roman.

---

Francis couldn’t believe the mess that was going on. Sure, he was glad to see his son, and sure he had accepted that his son was in Shion’s group as he too will be associated with it soon enough, but at the current now, Francis wasn’t as accepting. It was mainly due to the fact that the Shadow Hounds were killing people and Michel seemed to be in the middle of it all.

“Is that all you--” Before Francis could finish, the arrival of a woman came, one of little clothing and rather scary eyes. She appeared next to Michel and would bow to Shion. Francis looked over to Shion, to the half-naked woman, to his son, and just got all dizzy. He didn’t know what was going on nor did he even understand it. “So obviously there’s some thing--” And again he was cut off.

“YOU THINK YOU COULD ESCAPE ME THAT EASILY HUH!?” Shouted out Savayna as she too arrived on the floor where everyone was at. Though, Savayna was a little shocked to see Francis and some blue-haired chick. “Wait, why are you here Francis? Isn’t The High Life a bit too flashy for you?” She asked him.

Francis truly was out of the loop. “No, I came here merely to see what was going on and I truly wish I hadn’t.” He said rubbing his head clearly annoyed as all hell and just as equally as confused. “Please, someone start talking. I am at a complete loss here.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As Roman would surprisingly prop up from his desk, he would greet everyone and simply ask what they wanted. Nadeline bowed and so did everyone else aside Jaakuna. The blonde man just sighed and spoke. “Sorry for barging in like this, Roman, but there are no time for pleasantries, sadly.” Jaakuna said as he looked to Wesley and Grant as if wanting them to take the floor. Wesley looked at Jaakuna and he stepped forward.

“Shadow Hounds plague The High Life and are murdering your citizens as we speak.” Wesley said, [/b]“We would have stopped them, but as you can see we are without weapons and we also have another problem.” [/b]Wesley said looking down, and then looked back up after a half of a minute. “A woman by the name of Meli with dangerous powers also came. Right now, Savayna is holding her off, but even as good as she is, I don‘t think Savayna can hold that woman off for much longer.” Wesley admitted to Roman. “I also have no doubt that the Shadow Hounds are the work of Zodiark.” As soon as Wesley said that, Jaakuna looked at him, shocked as all hell by what he just said.

---

When Shion stated that the date wouldn’t have to end just cause Francis’ duties as a judge called for him, he smiled. He would also leave the right amount of gil for the meal as well as a tip that was the exact amount of the meal, which was over one-thousand gil. As they would depart, they would start walking to The High Life. Good thing for them(maybe not), the club was only a ten minute walk from where they were at. The area of Archades they’re currently in has been called the Party District by the kids. It’s where the nightclubs are, theatres and pretty much anything one would need to have a good time.

“Okay, it looks like we’re here.” Francis stated. He and Shion would walk to the front door and no one was guarding it, not the bouncer, not anyone. Sighing, Francis merely pressed the tie on his suit, which emitted a gold glow from it. In the seconds that would follow, Francis would be in his Judge Armor. However, his helmet was the only thing that he wasn’t wearing. He and Shion would step into the club and immediately the atmosphere that the club would usually have was absent. In its place, grim death was all around. The people who came to The High Life to dance and let loose all laid dead and puddles upon puddles of blood were where their bodies laid. The Shadow Hounds were all dead too, oozing out sticky, black blood. “Hmm, there was obviously a worry here, but it seems that there isn’t one anymore.” Francis said observing the carnage.

And then he saw.

As he would inspect more, Francis saw his son, Michelangelo Von Sicarius. “Michel!?” Francis yelled out. “Why are you here?” He asked him with pleading eyes.

Michel turned around and he not only saw his father, but his boss. “Father, I hope your date went well.”

---

As Meli too would stand poised ready for battle, she would speak about Savayna couldn’t handle her. The Ice Queen would smile and lick her lips at that statement, as if wanting to see if Meli was true in saying that. She would further state that Meli couldn’t kill her, but could remove a limb or two. This would cause Savayna to raise an eyebrow. “Doubting our own skills, are we?” She said chuckling. “I would have imagined a slut of your caliber wouldn’t hesitate to kill me or are you, like your clothing, left without any imagination?” She would laugh again. Savayna enjoyed teasing this woman.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Both Jaakuna and Wesley could feel the tension in the air of the Aircab. The looks that Nadeline gave Wesley and surely the things that Emiri was thinking made Jaakuna feel a little wary of the time that they would spend alone, but he would have to worry about that later on as the Aircab had arrived at the Archadian Palace for the Emperor. Jaakuna paid the cabby and they all would get out.

As they got out of the Aircab, it would seem that the effects of the Feni were starting to wear off as Jaakuna found himself being able to walk on his own. It was with that being obvious that Jaakuna and the others would soon head into the Palace, up the floors via the elevator and soon came to Roman’s office. Without even checking with his assistant, Jaakuna and the others walked on in, much to the protest of Roman’s assistant.

“Wait, you can’t..” He said trying to prevent Jaakuna, Wesley, Grant, Nadeline, and Emiri from all walking in without clearance. It didn’t help much. They were already in and Roman was there sitting as his desk clearing some obvious piles of paperwork. “Roman, my brother.” Jaakuna said slightly smirking.

---

As Shion would ask if he wished to check it out, Francis was divided on that. On one hand, he did so much want to check it out. He feared that the Shadow Hounds would cause more trouble than they already have. However, on the other hand, Francis wanted to continue his date. Oh, the troubles it came with being a man. “I wish not to end our date sooner than preferred, but I cannot ignore my duties as a Judge.” Francis said with an obvious irritated and troubled tone in his voice. “Unless you want to accompany me..?” He asked her, arching an eyebrow.

---

As she would pull back her shadows, Meli actually gave Savayna a compliment as she clapped. Savayna knew exactly what she was trying to do. The clapping and the obvious false compliment was meant to bait Savayna into rushing into an attack. Savayna just placed her free hand on her hip and smiled. “You flatter me, really, but don’t think it’ll get you anywhere. I still have to kick your skanky ass, bitch.” Savayna said poising her body in a fighting position.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As the Aircab made its way to the central point of Archades(where Roman’s office was), Jaakuna and Wesley could feel the awkwardness emit from Grant as he got looks from both Emiri and Nadeline. As Grant would speak to Jaakuna, he would actually look to Wesley. The Dalmascan prince caught onto what Grant was leading onto. Wesley would simply nod as he sat cross-legged. “He’s right Jaakuna. In your current condition, you wouldn’t be helping us that much.” Wesley said, fingers against face gently as he thought further.

Jaakuna knew exactly what they half-referred to. Sure, the feni was half the problem, but the whole thing with Zodiark’s powers being within him, Jaakuna understood. “I agree with both of you. I am no use to any of you in my condition.” He said, pretty much echoing what Grant and Wesley had already said.

Grant would then further state that Emiri should stay back too, but only like Emiri could, would instantly protest. Wesley could feel the awkwardness in the cab and Jaakuna didn’t like the way things were going. If they caught wind of any other reason than just the base worry, then the three guys were in for some bad lectures from Emiri and Nadeline. “Emiri, Grant’s right. You and I should stay back. We both had a good deal of the feni and we’re in no condition to fight.” Jaakuna said as he wanted to make sure Emiri didn’t catch wind of anything. “Just do this for me, okay.” At the point hat he said that, Jaakuna was looking at Emiri, his hands holding hers.

---

Try as they might, Francis and Shion wouldn’t be able to enjoy their food as the screams from the people outside of the restaurant were heard clearly. This even made Francis look over as the other people had. He didn’t want to attend to it, he really didn’t. You’re off-duty! You’re on a date! Do not be bothered by it! He tried his best to not be bothered by it, but he found himself not being able to ignore it. “Excuse me for a moment. I’m going to see what it’s all about.” He said to Shion, giving an apologetic look.

Francis had then stood up from his seat, and went out the doors, seeing people running from The High Life. He would stop one person who was running and obviously frantic beyond all hell. “Tell me what’s happening?!” He demanded of the guy.

“Man, you don’t know? SAY IT ISN’T SO!!!!” He dramatically panicked.

Francis shook the teenager. “Get a grip and just tell me!” He told the boy again.

“Shadow Hounds man! They’re attacking everyone at The High Life.” The teenager said looking at Francis.

“Okay, thanks. You can go now.”[/b] Francis said releasing the kid as he saw him run off.

Francis would walk back into the restaurant, and he sat back down in his chair. It took him about five minutes to get the info, but he got it. He would sigh and rub the area between his temples. “Oh geez, this is a pain.” He said sighing more. “For some unknown reason, Shadow Hounds are attacking a nearby nightclub.” He said as he took his glass and downed the entire thing. “This really is a pain in the ass.”[/b] He said sighing still.

---

Oh this woman had a lot of room to talk. She had little clothing. “At least I’m fully clothed, you fucking tramp!” Savayna shouted as she saw one of Meli’s shadow taking the full force of Savayna’s attack. The clashing of light blue wind and pure black shadow created a standstill moment between the two forces. That’s when Meli would blow and a cloud-like covering would cover her. Meli would then step forward and as Savyana saw, her shadow would cover every single inch of the floor, clones of the same shadow appearing. Savayna would ready herself as multiple shadow clones came forth and threw kunai knives at Savayna. The Ice Queen would quickly raise both arms, her sword gathering Ice Magick in it. Her body pulsated and in three seconds(one before the knives would hit), a repelling wind would send each knife flying back at the silhouettes, piercing them and most likely making them fade into their own shadow. Savayna would then capitalize on this as she would stick her sword into the shadow and as said sword was still overcharged with Ice Magick, the end result would be that the shadow’s would slowly be frozen as they were thanks to Savayna’s sword. A minute would be all it needed to freeze the shadows covering the walls and floors of the current one they were on.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

When Savayna left, there were definitely some mixed emotions and reactions from the group. Nadeline almost went after her, but she probably either realized that she had no weapon when she went to reach for where her rapier was or that she remembered. Regardless, the group would all look at each other as if deciding that they would heed Savayna’s advice and go to Roman. They hesitated for a moment, though. Well, that was until a loud noise came from the lower floors. That was no doubt the work of Savayna and it was with that signaling of Savayna making the first hit that Nadeline said that they should go. As they would, Emiri would hold onto Jaakuna’s arm and tell him to stay close. She was right in saying that he probably wouldn’t be able to walk in a straight line.

When they all got out of the room, Jaakuna, with Emiri’s aid, would motion the group to head to the left and not the right. On the left was where the main floor was and the right was another way to the ground floor, but it was the back exit. Heading to the right, the group, each going at their own pace, would get to the ground floor and they would pass through the kitchen. As they would, the kitchen staff would all look at the group with scared eyes. No doubt they all were hiding from the Shadow Hounds and Wesley definitely knew that. However, they were in no such condition to help save them. They had to go inform Roman about it.

Passing through the kitchen and out the back door, they came to a dark alleyway and Jaakuna looked in a few different directions. He wanted to make sure there wasn’t any enemies nearby and Jaakuna would motion the group forth towards the streets. When they got out of the alleyway, they would come to just the side of The High Life, to which Wesley would signal for an aircab. In the minute that it took for one to stop, they would get in. “To Emperor Roman’s Office, please.” Jaakuna said as he situated himself in the seat next to Emiri and Wesley opposite of his view with Grant opposite of Emiri’s, and Nadeline in the middle of them.

The aircab would take flight and Jaakuna would slowly feel himself getting better. “Damn it!” He simply said. Jaakuna did not like this at all and he felt even worse physically thanks in every single part to the feni he foolishly drank.

---

Taking some little drinks of his Champagne, Francis couldn’t help but notice the people running pass the resturant that he and Shion were at. She would actually ask what could have warranted such a reaction and he thought about it. “It’s what the young ones call party night in Archades. It’s probably just people getting over-excited about the night.” He said taking his glass and drinking more of it. “I’m sure if there was anything of real danger, I would be informed immediately.” He said setting his glass down.

As he would further think about it, Alex would come with their food. He would set the rather large Humbata steak for Shion and Francis’ smaller plate of Wyrm Tartar that was on the plate first, the beige-colored potato purée, and Cream Corn. It was topped with some herb seasoning. Francis’ lips were practically drooling, but he tried not to show. “Shall we dig in?” He said as he took his fork and knife and started to cut up a piece of it and he started to eat it.

---

As Michel was sent flying(and caught by Meli’s shadow), he would land gently on the ground and touch it on one knee. However, as he would, the Shadow Hounds would come after him now. “Well fuck.” He cursed himself as he held his hand out in front of him, and he manipulated the Black Magick prowess within him. As he did that, ten Shadow Hounds came at him in all directions, almost in a circle. He would expel Firaga in a complete circle as he would spin his body. It would hover around his waist and once the hounds came at him, they were burned instantly from the fire and incinerated. Unfortunately for those around him(the non-Shadow Hounds), they also were burned alive. Michel just shrugged as he prepared for the next wave of Shadow Hounds.

Savayna found herself face-to-face with Meli. Her sword was in hand and as Meli said that Savayna wished that she hadn’t missed, she would notice some type of shadow propel her up into the air. Savayna, for a slight second was taken back by it, but she would be on full-alert as shadow tendrils came at her. She saw them coming a mile away, and by simply putting up her sword, she deflected them with slashes that released icicles, freezing said tendrils. That’s when Savayna would float using her usual sparkly ice wind. She would just smirk at Meli. “Like your clothing, your attacks are just half-assed.” She said as she sped to Meli, dodging when necessary(provided Tendrils were sent her way), and extended her free arm forward, which would send a wave of icy wind to Meli, freezing the area that it would pass on the way to her.
