It was past dawn when Shizuka and his fae comrade arrived back at the temple. Originally thinking that checking up on Liliana would only take up a small part of the evening, he'd found himself spending all of it fighting the Fatal Pulse off along with a bunch of his Varjan cohorts. It had been a while since Kannazuki had pulled an all-nighter, and he was already feeling the effects of it. Using a large portion of his chi pool certainly wasn't helping the situation either...

Truthfully, Shizuka was operating at around 50 or perhaps 40 percent. He wouldn't tell Liliana that, of course, but he felt that she probably could tell anyway. A large sweatdrop appeared on his forehead when Liliana confessed that she didn't even know what Takeshi looked like. But, he was too tired to think about that right now.

Upon entering the temple grounds, he was greeted by the sight of Alice sprinting out of the temple grounds. He swore he saw a look of discomfort on her face as she left. She was followed by Gringor, who was dripping with sound sort of sour-smelling green liquid. Following both of them on horseback would be Takeshi-dono, who stopped to acknowledge the returning duo for a moment. From the sound of it the two yokai had a bit of an altercation, and he's taken it upon himself to look after them on their quest. Shizuka supposed he trusted the young lord, who did well to adjust to working with monsters all things considered. Not to mention, he was simply to tired to argue right now.

"Do as you will, I'm sure you'll be just fine..." Replied Shizuka with a lazy wave, seeing off the young heir.

He made a gesture at Liliana, acknowledging her farewell, then he noticed Ayu walking up next. He bade them greetings, correctly assessing that that succeeded in their mission. "Things didn't go exactly according to plan, but we managed to pull through." He replied. Looking around, he noticed Io talking with some of the locals, mentioning something about clothes shopping. He original garments were just tattered rags, so he supposed that made since. Luna-san and the Hangai sisters were talking with a local woman about their next job. That must be Sorae he thought. He could tell by her expression that she held the burden of a broken heart along with unbridled rage. Something he felt they had in common.

He honestly thought about joining them, but he figured that he wouldn't be of much help while he was running on fumes. He turned back to Ayu.

"Ayu-san, I should warn you and the others about the events of our mission last night. Mainly in regards to the Fatal Pulse himself, in addition to having a variety of strange tools in his arsenal he also has some sort bizarre ability to heal instantly from any wound inflicted on him. I don't know if it's some kind of magic or some sort of biological function he was born with, but it's going to make dealing with that much harder. I don't know what happened to him after last night, so we should be on guard." He explained. "His purpose at the docks was to have the Varjan assist him in unloading crates filled with some kind of powdery drug. It's effects cause nerve stimulation and increases aggression. I almost fell victim to it, if it hadn't been for Liliana. I have no idea what he intended to use it for, but we burned it up so it shouldn't be a concern moving forward." He nervously scratched his head, pausing for a moment. Erm, although, the shipyard was destroyed as a result. Turns out, the substance is highly combustible, causing explosions in the presence of heat. My apologies to you and the rest of the locals, Ayu-san..." He said as he bowed to her.

Shizuka then decided to rest a moment to gain back his strength for the coming days, he could use a good wash along with some sake and food in him. "I'll be resting in the temple for a while. But, I'm always available. Just give word if you need me for anything." He said as he walked deeper within the temple.

Atsuha made a bit of a face when Takeshi elected to go with Gringor and Alice to ensure they stayed out of trouble, but felt that perhaps it was for the best. The sisters noticed that Shizuka and Liliana had finally returned, being able to tell that the former was attempting to hide his fatigue. Having been out all night and overhearing some of the conversation he had with Ayu, the sisters arrived at the conclusion that the Fatal Pulse must be quite the dangerous adversary. They wouldn't worry about right now, though, they had to focus on helping Sorae.

She explained that she had a lead on her family's assailants, a clan servant going by the name of Sogen who apparently heads a farmstead. They could only guess as to why one of their servants would want to assist in the clan's extermination. They would find out sooner enough, of course.

"Umm. We apologize on behalf of our teammates, Sorae-san. Some of our members have very 'strong' personalities, we'll say, but we actually all work well as a team. I promise it's nothing to worry about, honest!" Hinami said in an upbeat tone, attempting to ease Sorae's ire.

"Indeed." Atsuha chimed in. "As we aided you in the last excursion, we will of course lend it again for this one. All three of us are ready to depart whenever you are. We will find this Sogen character and ensure that he answers for his crimes."

Letting loose with Kaminari, the bot certainly did it's trick. As it struck, several crates filled with the Nolkro drug set aflame. What proceed next was a chain reaction of several explosions, along with the Varjan troops scrambling everywhere to get away. Some poor souls got caught in the blast, their panicked shrieks drowned out by the loud booming. In addition to the surrounding vicinity, some of the crates that caught fire were sent flying to the Varjan ships that had entered the harbor and ignited the stashed drugs they were carrying. With his troops in shambles and his narcotics now literally up in smoke, Keith's plans completely fell apart. Signified by his awful yell, highly upset that he could no longer make use of his drug. Though, at least the cow felt sorry for him apparently...

Flying away from the scene, Shizuka turned to Lilianna with a victorious smirk and a thumbs up. "Things got a little dicey near the end there, but aside from the environmental damage and the lost of the shipyard I'd said that it's a job well done." He said, letting out a sigh of relief.

"For now I think's it's best that we head back to the Temple and report tonight's events to Takeshi-dono and Ayu-san, and get some well deserved rest. However, if there was still something you wanted to undertake, I won't stop you. But, if you need more assistance, I'm not sure if I'll be of much help in my current state. I...may have used up more chi in that battle than I would've liked..." He said with a chuckle. He did his best to hide his fatigue up till this point, but the sweatdrops on his face were a clear indicator.

Everyone was quite surprise by Alice's sudden awakening, but what was more surprising was her voice and pattern of speech. She spoke with the voice of a cold, dignified queen. One of both noble and sinister bearing; she brandished her cursed weapon as both proclaimed they had hostile intentions and didn't appreciated the healing spells invoked by Atsuha and Luna.

"Well, I must say you clearly have an odd way of thanking someone who just healed your wounds. It's unbecoming to scorn a person's kindness, especially when they've already been in a foul mood this morning..." Atsuha said with a warning tone of her own, informing the possessed Alice that she would respond in kind if she wanted to fight. "Indeed, you should take word from Takeshi-san here and show some more gratitude."

"Nee-san, perhaps we shouldn't antagonize her. It's all just a misunderstanding. Besides, she has a cursed weapon, you could stand to be a little more weary." Hinami said, attempting to diffuse the situation. While she didn't wield one herself, being a weapon master gave her knowledge of the danger cursed weapons posed and the increased battle power it gave its hosts. Unfortunately, Gringor had decided to answer Alice's challenge. The two then began exchanging blows, with neither one showing signs of backing down. Atsuha signed in annoyance at the whole ordeal. "It's too early in the morning for this..." She whined.

Hinami, on the other hand, just about to jump in and stop the battle with her bo staff in hand. That was, until, Alice nearly collapsed and began coughing up green blood. An unsavory sight by anyone's standards. At that point, it seemed the Alice they were all acquainted with took back control and promptly apologized for the whole situation. She even thanked Luna and Atsuha for nursing her back to health. With that she quickly proclaimed that she would continue the Heavenly Strike quest and promptly made her way off the temple grounds.

Hinami drew a look of concern when Gringor told them that he would be accompanying her. While it was nice that Alice wouldn't be continuing the quest alone a second time, the earlier scene put her on high alert.

"You two better not try to kill each other while you're away!" She proclaimed to the both of them.

Atsuha held a hand to her mouth and stretched as she yawned. "Well, at least Alice is all better. Now that that's all over, do either of you need a moment or are we ready to head out ourselves. I'd rather not keep Sorae-san waiting." Said to both Takeski and Luna.

Allowing Lilianna to lift him up into the sky, Shizuka began charging his Kaminari technique with his free hand. A distinct crackling sound came off of his hand as electric ripples began emitting from it. Although, he winced a bit at the act, thinking to himself.

"I had used up more chi in this battle than I wanted to. Keith was more of a threat than I thought, and I had no way of knowing about that strange substance. Don't like to think how that would've turned out if you didn't bail me out. I feel I've quite the burden on you today, Lili-san." He said with a self-conscious tone.

He's appreciation was interrupted when Lilia casted another spell. However, as before, it appeared to be a summoning technique. And the result was...another cow...

Shizuka looked at his fae comrade with a blank stare, the expression was rather comical actually.

"Well..." He replied. "I certainly hope it would be an everything day occurrence. Anything that will aid in distracting Keith is appreciated, but now I have to deal with possibly harming an innocent animal in the process..."

Feeling they were far enough away at this point, Shizuka aimed two fingers at the crates and let loose a large lightning bolt that lit up the vicinity. In an instant they struck the crates and hopefully the intense energy generated would create the desired reaction that would facilitate their escape.

The Night Prior

Whilst still in their embrace, Skarsneek finally made his presence known. It seemed he was in the shadows long enough to hear the bulk of their conversation. Both were taken off guard by his kind words and sudden embrace. He further consoled Hinami, assuring that she had another person she could rely on aside from her sibling.

"Skar-san. I...thank you. Truly." She replied, still a bit teary-eyed.

"Yes, thank you, my beloved." Said Atsuha, generously returning the goblin's embrace.

Allowing Skarsneek to lead the way, they turned in for the night and finally got some well deserved rest.

Both having awoken rather late the next morning, the sisters would both find no sign of Skarsneek anywhere. Atsuha made a face after realizing the implications at his absence.

"That...That jerk! I bet he left off on some quest with some of the other taskforce members! Uuugh, the nerve! He could've at least waited til I woke up or left a note or something!" She continued rambling, her face contorted in a cute pout while steam was practically teeming from her ears.

"Um, nee-san, please calm down now. I'm sure Skar-san hasn't forgotten about you. We are here on business after all, sometimes our duties may have us split up you know?" Hinami said, trying to ease her sister.

She may have chosen the wrong choice of words, that caused her sister to into even more of a tirade.

"Spl-Split up?! You don't think he's being unfaithful, do you?! He said he liked spiders, he wouldn't do that. I mean, I don't think he would, but some of the other members are attractive..."

Hinami began sweating nervously, having made the situation worse. She then noticed that Luna seemed to be concerned about something; Alice had returned back to the temple, but she appeared to be seriously injured.

"Nee-san, I think they might need your help!" She said, snapping Atsuha out of her stupor.

"Oh my, I believe that's one our new teammates. That quest might have been a bit more than she bargained for..."

Atsuha made her way over to Takeshi and Luna. Luna appeared to be arguing with him in regards to taking off her clothes so as to treat her wounds.

"My goodness, first thing in the morning, and all ready we have all this racket. Takeshi-san, if you're too inexperienced in this sort of thing, then please more over and let the adults handle it." She scolded him, taking out a talisman. She held it over Alice as a green hue emanated from it. It then dissipated as the green hue enveloped Alice's body, slowly healing her wounds.

As she continued to heal Alice, she turned to Luna and Takechi. "By the way, Sorae seems to have a lead on her family's assailants. Hinami and I were going to assist her in her quest. I was wondering if either of you wanted to tag along with us. Of course, I still owe a debt to you as well Luna-chan."

Some kinda luck for Liliana to get two cows in one mission. Murphy's Law hits hard when you have bovine-based-battle-tactics I guess.

Success.

Keith would soon find out that Shizuka is no less of a combat with or without his blade. Wielding his wind-imbued sheath, the swordsman rushed forth from the deluge of afterimages and stuck his opponent's arm. The sword flew from his arm and spun several times before Shizuka caught it; The clones Lili made immediately followed and began to engage the merc without delay.

His plan now succeeded, Shizuka rushed over to Lilianna, who now was being swarmed with more and more Varjan soldiers. To the point, they took notice of his advance and began closing in on him as well. Not a very wise decision...

"Move aside." Were the only words Shizuka uttered.

One of the soldiers who reached him first attempted to swing at him with an axe. The man was cut down with a diagonal slash to his chest before he had time to even bring his polearm down. Two more tried to avenge their fallen comrade, one wielding a mace and the other a pair of short swords. The mace wielder received a flurry of kicks, with the last one hitting him square in the face. Before the other could even react, he was sent flying back by a sudden squall into a bunch of his other squad members. Their aggression growing, more of then began to jump at him from all sides.

"Uryū Suichū"

A clear blue stream of water began to swirl around the swordsman's blade. With a swift, clean motion he spun completely around. This created a large column of water that sent the group charging at him flailing back all over the place. Jumping out of the column, Shizuka landed next to Lilianna. "Still in one piece?" He asked her, sheathing his blade.

He then saw that more ships had pulled up to the docks, unloading more and more brigands to the fray. Soon the duo were completely surrounded with nothing in lieu of a way out. "Give me a break, we don't have time for this..."

Turning to his side, he then noticed a line of crates sitting on the docks. He looked at them, as if pondering for a moment. He then turned back to Lili with somber eyes.

Lili-san, I believe I know what those crates are filled with. This is most certainly a moronic idea, but it's more than likely our best chance at escape. If you're still able to take us airborne, I'll prepare a bolt to shoot at those crates and ignite them. Of course, if you have any other, perhaps more safe ideas I'm all ears."

@AzureKnight

Would you prefer to post first or second for our quest? Anything I can have Liliana do might remove options for Kannazuki, so I thought I should ask before starting a post.

@The Irish Tree

I actually planned on posting first, just had a busy week. Have a post saved up that's 80% done.

Making his way to the playground with the others, the young fox was greeted by a frightening ghoul. The facade quickly dissipated, however, as the ghost realized that the prez was the one addressing her. The ghastly ghoul revealed itself to be a cute young girl.

"You seem like the type who enjoys making mischief, I approve!" Shu said as he cheerfully greeted the ghost girl.

After the girl gave her accounts of the missing children, Shu listened to the other members brainstorm for a moment. Homura then asked if he'd be able to track this mystery woman.

"Dunno, might be hard given all this rain~" He said jokingly, knowing that normal rain wouldn't interfere with tracking spirits.

Shu extended his index finger, pointing it upward. A violet ball forms from the point and emits a deep glow.

"If Ms. Mystery Lady left any trail, this needo number should be able to pick it up no sweat. Just say the word, Prez, and I'll point ya in the right direction!"
