The robots nearby began to crowd around Jeff and Jenso. Two of them picked up Lark and Mikey abruptly and carried them off.

"DELIVERING UNKNOWN TRESPASSED TO MEDI-BAY," They beeped in unison.

"MASTER JEFF, PLEASE EVACUATE THE AREA. YOU SHOULD KNOW PREPARATIONS FOR THE KING OF FERALDA'S ARRIVAL ARE UNDER WAY. WE ARE ABOUT TO EJECT THE TRANSPORT POD."

"ORDER ACKNOWLEDGED. REGISTERING NEWCOMER AS ASSISTANT TO HEAD TECHNO-GUARD, JEFF. NAME ENTRY REQUIRED-" The bot spouted. Its circuits sparked for a second and it malfunctioned, entering a name for Jenso automatically.

"CITIZEN 616: GOLDEN BOY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT."

_{A Very Rough Landing}

Jenso landed amidst a collection of individuals that didn't scatter as his body tore across the ground. He dropped Lark and Mikey as he tumbled forward and crashing into a pair of legs that didn't seem to buckle under the pressure. It was strange. The person was standing perfectly resolute and..

"TRESPASSING IN TECH-MO RESEARCH PLAZA!" A Robotic voice announced.

The sphere tore through Jenso's fireball instantly, dispersing it into orange flames, and then into nothing. But the further Jenso went, the slower the sphere started to travel. What was once gaining on him rapidly, now moved slower, and eventually came to a complete stop long before Jenso even came even close to landing.

Yzeira narrowed his eyes and dispersed his sphere as Jenso dissapeared into the horizon, and ultimately, from his vision, after a certain distance was passed. Jenso showed no sign of stopping, and he was going further than Yzeira could have planned for. But he was going straight. If he caught up...

"...It won't matter where you hide."

Yzeira stood resolute, but spun around moments before Jenso was able to make it past him, launching a thin laser through Jenso's leg moments before he was able to take off. But with his superior speed, the white flames propelled him far out of range before the masked man could do much else. He rose both of his arms into a cross guard as the flames spread and engulfed him, and his figure disappeared behind the wall of heated energy. Jenso was gone, and Yzeira was left alone in the center of the stadium.

The flames whipped and whirled in circles as Jenso left the scene, but quickly died down with a reddish dispersal of energy. When the smoke cleared, Yzeira was left standing with his arms still crossed, and a powerful aura surrounding his body. He lowered his arms and glanced in the direction Jenso had headed off in. He placed both his palms closely together and began to conjure a sphere of energy, perfectly round with a visually infinite amount of jirations within itself. With a second's delay, his eyes flashed, and he launched it in Jenso's direction, having it follow the path he took at top speeds.

Yzeira's eyes flickered and he pulled his right arm back, clenching his fingers tightly enough to dent his skin. He flattened his left hand, extending a sharp aura beyond his fingertips and shifting his body further forwards. Before the fireball even changed, he directly aimed his knife-like energy towards where it would be a few seconds later. As the fireballs changed in shape, the angle from which Yzeira struck, hit the flat edge of the fan, and instantly dispersed the technique in a small puff of thin smoke. He stepped forward again and dropped his right hand towards the ground, palm open. A seed of energy dropped into the cracked tiling below him and he turned his back towards Jenso, raising his energy-sharpened left hand up to chest level.

Yzeira took another step forward and swatted Jenso's fireball away with a thin aura covering his right hand, dissipating it instantly. His magic ate away at the arcane energy that held the flames together, and consumed the attack in its entirety. Behind Jenso, the spikes vanished as they collided with a sharp noise, but Yzeira slid his left foot forwards, progressing even further, while also launching a thin vertical wave of energy towards Jenso across the ground, aimed to sliced right through his left thigh.

"Enough of your blathering," Yzeira spat, clenching his fist tightly in midair. Several orbs of red energy spawns around Jenso, and shot towards him, stretching into spikes at they threatened to impale his body.

Yzeira took a step forward and rose one of his hands towards Jenso. "The time for games is long past, boy. What little amusement you once offered is long gone. I'll just have Adarine pry the knowledge from your barely-functioning husk of a body after I'm through with you. I suggest you save yourself the agony and tell me the secret to your methods now."

Yzeira turned to completely face Jenso and lowered his arms to either side of his jacket. His eyes shook with anger. Yzeira couldn't understand what had just happened. A moment ago Jenso was dead, his Ki had left his body. So how?

"By every conceivable law of Ki, Arcane, and the Void, your being alive is an impossibility. There's no way you could be standing right now, without aid of necromancy. So how? And.." Yzeira paused and grit his teeth, "How do you know my name?"
