Dangnabbit. Fox had to go and edit in some Rune Knights so now I have to go and edit in some Rune Knights. XD

Maddox listened intently as Sayuri described the Archive Room. It wasn't much but it was good enough. "That should do," Maddox said, putting a tighter grip on her shoulder as he focused. The two were running towards a hallway but a Rune Knight squad appeared before them, also rushing toward them. "You might want to close your eyes," Maddox suggested, "This will be very disorienting for you." Just as the two were almost within combat range with the Rune Knights, they vanished out of the air. This left the Knights stumbling from their charge and confused. While Maddox had long been familiar with the sensation of teleportation, Sayuri would undoubtedly not find it to be so casual. They reappeared almost instantaneously further down the hallway, well away from the Knights. The sensation of rushing air and churning insides were the common symptoms, usually creating nausea in the inexperienced, but Maddox didn't even notice. If Sayuri actually kept her eyes closed the symptoms wouldn't be as bad as if she ignored the suggestion. They had hardly reappeared before vanishing again. He was making short teleports in order to keep his bearings and find the Archive. They appeared again further down the hallway before teleporting again into the library. Though only there for a split-second, Maddox identified a possible location as there was a suspect door that had the label of _authorized personnel only_ above it. They teleported again to the edge of the library, likely being undetected by the four wizards currently duking it out, and then teleported again. They reappeared at the bottom of a stairwell with the sounds of combat echoing from the library. There was a hallway with a doorway at the end in front of them, but in the hallway was a squad of Rune Knights trying to suppress some kind of large creature. The creature's presence felt familiar and Maddox deduced it was Karn, just not disguised as a cat anymore. _This must be it,_ Maddox thought to himself before releasing Sayuri's shoulder. "Hold on a second," he instructed her, beginning to walk past. At the sound of his voice, the two Rune Knights closest turned their heads to see that two redheads had suddenly appeared behind them. They both were armed with spears and went to aim their weapons at the casually approaching Maddox. However, the mage's hands shot out and grabbed the spears by the shafts, where his superior strength kept the Rune Knights from using them. He yanked down and backwards, pulling them both closer as they refused to release their weapons. As they stumbled towards Maddox he released the spears and jumped straight up, bringing both his legs in tight underneath his body in a crouching-like position. As the two Rune Knights lined up with Maddox his legs shot out horizontally, kicking them both in the head simultaneously and sending them both sprawling to the ground. They were undoubtedly unconscious, possibly even dead if someone only judged by looks. But Maddox held himself back to avoid the latter possibility. By now the other Rune Knights started to take notice that there were intruders from behind now.

Sayuri will just _love_ Maddox after my next post. >:3

Like maaaagic.

_Abandoning this room is risky,_ Maddox thought to himself after Jamie commanded him to retrieve the book. _If the other council members arrive they may be overpowered through sheer numbers. Then again..._ His red eyes settled on Jarvis, making sure to maintain eye contact. "Keep guard, good sir," Maddox shouted to Jarvis, giving him a wave to make sure he got the message. With that he caught up to Sayuri. "Tell me where it is," he told her, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Be detailed as possible."

I'm making her not stand in the middle of three fights. x3 If anything she should be talking her dad down rather than fighting him.

You're welcome for showing you that channel, Cirus. XD

What I'm going to do is get a post up tonight to move things along, intentionally leaving the slow ones behind.

Maddox surveyed the scene. James had jumped in to battle Angelica, Jamie had begun trying to break Angelo out of the spell, and Lazarus and Sasha began fighting the twin Council Members that arrived. With a sigh, his angry expression reverted to his standard serious one. "I'm not needed here," he said, loud enough to ensure that everyone heard him. "I'll just keep anyone else from interfering." He looked over at Sayuri and motioned for her to follow him. Though he could easily get through the battlefield without a scratch by teleporting, Maddox instead began walking toward the Council building. Once Sayuri would've caught up with him, he began walking around the fights, almost as if they didn't even exist. "We will meet the other, approaching Council Members," Maddox explained to Sayuri, still looking ahead rather than around at the fights.
