Tired yet determined.
Yu Narukami.
Location: Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.
Yu Narukami was also mainly silent during the transit back to the Operative building, his face still remained deadpan. Yet this reaction was not mainly due to Jake's death, but it was the fact that these people had lost themselves a friend, it only reminded him of how his path to find the murderer was long, in which almost killed a closer family member. His fists were tight, but once the group was in the Shadow Operative Building, Yu looked a whole more lot calmer.

The only thing Yu could do right now is wait until the rescue and with that he took a seat next to David. "I thought of it as more of a portal to another world ... " Yu said calmly to David again, "The TV world that is ... but other then that I am sure you have gone through many, many things with this crew. Has witnessed many sad but happy things ... "

To tell the truth?
Doctor S.
Location: Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.
The Wanderer tried to not allow Jake's death get to him, he barely knew the guy and most of all he was an Author. The armoured blue eyed messiah instantly changed into his Doctor's outfit (Basically a Doctor's coat, casual civilian clothes with sunglasses). Giving his bones and body a stretched for a second, he just simply wandered away from the returning group, even at this point he did not want to bother or interfere with the operation to save Caim and such.

"Damn it ..." He said as he wondered in the building and began to walk around. Yet the words of not Jake's but his own Author came to him, the worst part was that they were about Jake. It was like if a million words came to mind and then he heard what Jenny said.
"...I...Still can't believe he's gone...what are we going to tell Akane?...."
This sentence ran through his mind until the Wanderer knew what to do, tell the news to someone he cared about. It did not matter if it was depressing, it was the truth and running away from it would only prove fatal.

Still walking, the Wanderer came to a room only titled "Canteen", this was the place for food, sure the Doctor had food in his invisible inventory, but he wanted to try some food that they had in this country/world/place, he knew it would be different since everyone spoke in Japanese. Shrugging he entered, a couple of people littered around the place, but one guy stood out like a bad scap. "Deadshot ... " He said grimly to himself.

Looking at the man, he noted that a girl ... with tails was sitting opposite him. "This is only getting weirder and weirder ..." The whisper called out, the Wanderer wondered as he usually did, but this time to where the food was. After a while of observing, smelling and using his senses to determine what was safe to eat, he grabbed a bowl of chicken Udon with a cup of green tea. In honesty he just wanted the staff to stop looking at his glowing eyes which clearly came through his glasses.

The tray was guided to a table next to the window, the table was about three across from the fox girl and Deadshot. (" ... you want to observe her don't you ... just like Annie ... ") His darker side/Shadow called out to him with a rather honest thought, ("You ... do not need to say that!") The Doctor snapped back, but the thought of telling her what happened only remained as he half-heartily tried to use chopsticks.

If the two noticed or were looking at the Doctor, he was staring outside but giving quick glances towards Akane ... worried glances.

Club Escapade: Rugal, Garm, Scared Workers

After Rugal grabbed the bike and began to speed off, Garm gave a small sigh and ran off after him, alerting Teri over the rings again, [color=356D60]"And he's off again.. Stole another vehicle, it seems; as well as throw a bottle at some worker. Oh, that looked painful... I hope your hunch is right, Tear-ri, because he's not looking very good right now."[/color]
[color=0E59E4]"Just follow him and keep the updates coming, okay? I've got some shit on my end. I promise, I owe you big time."[/color]
[color=356D60]"Understood. I'm gonna need a nap after all this! Chasing after cars wears me out..."[/color]

Naganaki Shrine: Rugal, Thugs
Mood music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2d7KbN5GNE]

Playground area (you can see a hint of the well with that pillar)


Main area, with water well, sacred tree, toori gates and prayer area

Given what the teenager instructed, the Shrine was the place to go to find the thugs; and, given by the abandoned cars by the road, that would probably be the right assessment. Going up the stairs, he found his man in question leaning by a well and smoking a cigarette while talking to the assorted men and women hanging on the jungle gym. Looking up, Mr. Skin sighed, "Ah, nothing escapes you, does it? Lemme guess, Walter ratted me out, didn't he? I should have known. The man cares more for his smells than he does his brains. So, why are you so hard after me? I'm but a salesman, peddling wares of the senses to willing buyers. I don't kill anyone. I simply provide a service."

As he spoke, the thugs made a point to get out from being tangled in the jungle gym ASAP and point varying guns and weaponry at the King of Fighters.

Shadow Ops Building: Akane, Deadshot, Mitsuru

"Keep me posted on what you get out of him. Yo, Foxy, Want to raid the canteen on the ship or in the building? No shit off my ass."

Mitsuru would have made a point of her disapproval of Deadshot's language, but with the patient on hand, she didn't feel like she had any room to delay; and she (with the rest of the medical crew) sped along to the medical faculties of the building; with the hope that this patient could endure...

Naganaki Shrine: Rugal, Thugs
Mood music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLZotkfs9Y]

On his way towards Mr. Skin, Rugal never left his bike, racing though the pathways of the Shrine and nearly running over a large number of bystanders as he tracked down his target.
His recklessness climaxed when he crashed though one of the wooden fences, bringing himself to the attention of the entire group Mr. Skin had traveled with.
And if that didn't get his attention, then the laughing as he did a Donuts on his "New" bike.
"Ah, nothing escapes you, does it? Lemme guess, Walter ratted me out, didn't he? I should have known. The man cares more for his smells than he does his brains. So, why are you so hard after me? I'm but a salesman, peddling wares of the senses to willing buyers. I don't kill anyone. I simply provide a service."
"Sure ain't that what we all do? Provide a Service. Well, There is someone much higher in the Food Chain then you and to avail of his services, I need proper answers. Besides...Nothing ticks me off like Lying and Wasting my time..." He explained as he lined up his bike with the Jungle Gyms.

"...Are your men seriously playing at a time like this?...See, this is why your small time. All REAL crooks keep their men in line. Sure, having some chums with guns is alright when all your aspire to be is some punk in a Club with some money, but with a set up like this, that's all you'll ever be." He said as they began to pull their guns and other blunt objects.
"Oh for fucks sake! You don't even have GOOD guns! 9mm? Glock? Fuck, is that an Uzi? Man, wh-where are the AK's? Christ, not even a .45 Automatic pistol! Those things are great!" He said, digging himself deeper into the ire of his enemies.
"Oh what? You all going to take it personally? Fine...Lets do this then!"

With that, he then quickly spun his Bike around 180[sup]o[/sup], kicking up dirt into the faces of Mr. Skin's men.
In the same motion he dismounted while still holding the Handlebars before using the momentum he built up to fling the Bike at the Jungle Gym and the goons as they blindly fired into the air
This had the tragic effect of igniting the fuel tank on the bike, resulting in it catching fire before violently exploding.
With this firepower down, He began advancing on Mr. Skin, citing "Now then, feel like telling the truth yet or shall I go though another batch of goons? Most likely wielding either baseball bats or Katanas?"
Truth be told, he was actually hoping there would be more to kill, he felt the youngest he did in years, like a god among men.

Outside the Shadow Zone:Melethia, Slin, Ton-Ton
Mood Music (both sections) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJv_2T74bdU]

After having gotten out of the zone, Melethia glanced over to Slindis and muttered, more to herself than her mom. "Can't believe I failed one of our own... If it wasn't for what they wanted, that machine would have been killed. Not to mention the gunslinger didn't know how to control their fire while we were fighting and ended getting us in the crossfire, then had the gall to tell us to sit down."

Slindis heard this, though, and slid over to her daughter's side. [color=c200]"We did the right thing, Ton-Ton... THey're much tougher than you know.

As for you, Mel, I know it's hard to have that kind of thing happen to you. I know you're asking yourself, 'Why did this happen when I was right there?' or 'Could I have done anything to stop this?', but there's one thing that I know we both know from where we came from: we can't save everyone. From what I've heard, the strike that killed him would have done the same to any of your group, so please try to not lose yourself over it. The fact that you retrieved him so he could be granted a proper burial is something that I'm certain will be glad for, but we need to take care of you as well. When we get back, I'll take you into one of the training zones and heal you up. That is, if you don't want to head in now so I can heal you."[/color]

Although it didn't look like much, Slindis could see that Melethia was calming down due to the way she reached out for Ton-Ton. "Mind if I hold you While we wait for Mister Caim and Redscale?"

Shadow Ops Building: Shadow Teams 1 and 2: David West

Once the Rescue effort was underway, David spent a lot of his time over-watching the operation, Granted, he had zero official capacity, but after the promises he made, he had to be seen doing something, if not for the Crew, then for himself.
"Come on! Don't you people have S.O.P.[footnote]Standard Operating Procedure[/footnote] for this?! Surely this wasn't the first time someone got lost in there!" He shouted as he watched them set of some long range monitoring equipment, still looking a little lethargic from the energy spent calling Apollo.
As he watched them send in a squad, Headed by Slindis and Ton Ton, back to the Shadow Zone after the lead that Jack had texted to Fuuka, Yu walked over and talked more about the TV World.
"-but other then that I am sure you have gone through many, many things with this crew. Has witnessed many sad but happy things ... "
"Oh for the love of-No...Just....Don't give me any of that...You REALLY don't have any idea..." He interrupted, quickly being reminded of going to Hell, Fighting Demons of Hell, The battle of Washington, Hell, just the entire Angel War in general.

Still, He stood by until they got word that the Team had reached the area in question.
[color=c0000]"David, we're in nearing the destination.[/color] The Drow then sent over the rings to which he answered "Nice one, tell the guy with the Helmet Cam to turn it on for our viewers at home. You guys, Turn on the main display."
On cue, A large Screen was brought up as it displayed the POV of a man following Slindis and Ton Ton in though what appeared to be a cave.
"We have your signals, just in case we lose visual. But hopefully, it won't be necessary." He then said as the group entered the Den Angelus's shadow had made, golden coins as far as the eye could see.
"...Whhhhooaaaaaa..Helmet Cam guy, you have a new order: Stuff your pockets with some of that shit! Come on! ASAP, Go Go Go!" David instantly ordered out of greed, I mean, come on? There was a LOT of gold coins.
While the Agent seemed confused, he still did as he was told and began picking up handfuls of coins and taking as much as he could carry.

It was then that he glanced over at something, a sort of golden cell that looked like something HUGE broke out of it.
But what was far more noticeable on the display was the barebacked blonde haired woman moving up and down that just so happened to look a lot like-
"...What th...is tha-OHHHHH!...uhhhh-EYES DOWN! LOOK AT THE DIRT! HELMET CAM OFF! THERE ARE FUCKING KIDS HERE!" David instantly barked when he put two plus two together as the Agent panicked and tripped, causing the camera to fall on its side in such an angle to catch Caim and Angelus scrambling to cover themselves after being found.
"...Heheheehheeh, The fucking cheek of them..." David couldn't help but laugh as he watched the rest of the Group converge on their location.

Shadow Ops Building: Shadow Teams 1 and 2: Jenny

After Annie had spoke to her and she was patched up, Jenny remained still for a while, thinking about what the Former Military Police had said to her.
"Great Speech, almost makes up for the fact she killed S'zami...Oh, wait, did you forget about that? Admit it, for all the anger you had for Rugal after he tortured her, inside, you were glad that happened to her..." Her Shadow then taunted, twisted the narrative to help counteract Annie's advice.

Shadow Ops Building: Canteen: Deadshot, Akane, Wanderer

After Akane got her meal, Deadshot ordered one of the most Irish Dishes he could possibly imagine.
"Can I get a Batter Burger and a large chips?" He asked before getting a extremely greasy plate of processed junk food, a far cry from Akane's meal.
He sat down opposite the Kitsune before wolfing into his meal, Hell, Akane saw actual wolfs with better table manners.
What she didn't know was he was always one of make the most out of his meal, Before San Andreas, He wasn't exactly the richest assassin on the market, often living in a matter like the homeless.
He paused before taking another bite as the sound of someone walking into the Canteen distracted him.
He glanced over his Shoulder and saw Annie walking by, his face souring slightly before ignoring her and getting back to his meal.
"{So...You've been talking to the others since we got-}...*Glup*....Back..." He began to say but trailed off as he saw Wanderer, there was a lot of people in his room that he had bad blood with at the moment.

Iwatdatoi Station - Strip Mall - Wild Duck Burger: Som(?), Teri, Ella, Devon, Cadolbolg, Ryan, Kalastryn
Mood Music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmRQUuqtJas]

Devon dully responded as she made her way out of the restaurant. [color=00c863]"I can sleep it off, Cadol, but I'll have Teri help with it tomorrow? We can talk more about it when we get out of here."[/color]

After hearing Teri's statement, though, Ella smiled and patted Teri on the shoulder. "Teri, you're relaxing tonight as well." However, it was abundantly clear that Ella wasn't letting Teri get out of this, and she let Ryan handle the body as she got ready to leave.

Shadow Ops Building: Slin, Ton-Ton, Mel, David, Caim, Angie

Slindis evoked Joanne to use her Lay on Hands on Melethia right after removing all of the bullets and then proceeded, eventually getting to the scene with Caim and Angelus.

[color=c200]"...we can come back later..."[/color] She wasn't quite as alarmed as one would think, although she did make sure to keep Mel's eyes away from the scene. Not that it really mattered, mind you; all Melethia could see was nothing really useful among all of the gold there. What kind of dragon only cared about gold?

Shadow Ops Building: Canteen: Deadshot, Akane, Annie, Wanderer

"...I'm not sure if you 2 met have yet. Akane, Annie, Annie, Akane." Deadshot rather childishly said right after Annie's speech before throwing a few fries in his mouth, seeming to care little for her passionate remarks on self improvement.
"..."
"...What? I got something worked out. You do your thing and I'll do mine. Not my fault your a mass murdering ***** now is it? Now unless there is anything else..."
He didn't finish as he returned to his meal, A proper Gentleman so he was.
"...Whoa....You...are SUCH an asshole..."
Correction, WE are such an asshole...or it assholes?...
"....ummm...I think we use the singular...These chips could use some salt..."
You know, I was just thinking that...
"But seriously, back to what I was saying, I thought you liked her?"
And I thought we would win Moscow, look what happened there. Shit happens...
"....Heheh...Moscow, Of course..."
...of course what?
"...NOTHING!"


Deadshot seemed to cringe a little like Jenny did as his Shadow seemed to "Run off" after his inner monolog before he threw some salt on his chips.

Shadow Ops Building: Canteen: Deadshot, Akane, Annie, Wanderer

"Some would say you're more of a monster than I am in terms of casualties and lives lost. Yet here I am, reaching out for you..."
"...Well aren't you a fucking Saint?..." Deadshot spat before he wiped his mouth on his sleeve before walking off, clearly not wanting to hear what Annie was saying.
"Dude, She's right and your wrong! It's rather fucking pretty of you to just storm off..."
And who the fuck asked you?!
"Yeah, sure, dig yourself deeper. Not like it matters though."
Yeah, Too fucking right....
"Because none of this is actually real."

As he was walking off, Deadshot then stopped, as if he was confused by something.
...In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary...Come again?
"Think about it? San Andreas, The Rising Dawn, all this Shadow Business. What if the only thing that was real was you?"
...That makes zero fucking sense....
"Exactly. And why would it? But it makes just about as much sense as anything else here...
And need I remind you, you are talking to a voice inside your head. And you aren't even high..."


If anyone was paying attention to Deadshot's facial expression, he turned into one of total shock after hearing that before he glanced back with worrying glances at everyone else in the room.
...Wait, I thought you said you were a Shadow?...
"I'll admit, I played along because the lie was kinder then the truth. If you want to know more, Go back to that "Shadow Realm". Then, I'll wake you up."
....You really think I'd fall for that?...
"Then Don't. Live in the Matrix of your own broken Psyche for the rest of your days...Just saying..."

He paced back and forth a little before he resumed his exit out of the canteen, looking clearly mindfucked.

"...Well aren't you a fucking Saint?..." Deadshot spat before he wiped his mouth on his sleeve before walking off, clearly not wanting to hear what Annie was saying.

Akane sat silent through the meal and let the pair have their words as she ate. As Deadshot left Akane looked up at Annie.
"Let him go. Get some food, sit down and talk to me or just share a table. You've had a hard life it sounds like. How did the strike on the zone go? Where is everyone? This seems a bit odd, normally there is a bit more celebration..." the Kitsune said quietly.

Wrong moment.
Yu Narukami and David West.
Location: Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.
Keeping a position next to David, Yu too was overlooking the operation. He kept silent while sitting in a chair drinking a can that could only be labelled as the legendary "Pepsi Max". Then David's greed came to surface, "While I know how much gold could be tempting ... that gold isn't probably ... real ... " Yu said strongly but his tone started to weaken as the bare skin revealed itself. Looking away for a while, Yu could only say one thing. "Tomoya is going to have a field day when he hears about this ... " He said to David and possibly himself.

The Truth.
Doctor S, Akane and Annie.
Location: Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.
The events in the canteen went down, the Doctor was listening from the table by the window, he had heard the name "Akane". This was the person he would break the news to. ("Want me to break it to her?") The Doctor's own Shadow asked out of preventing mental or even physical harm to himself. ("Nah, I'll do it.") The Doctor said back, getting ready to tell Akane the news. Turning his head towards the group of two, the Wanderer's eyes glowed in a lower shade of blue, this might be to sadness or anxiety.

"I'm sorry ... " He said in a bold low voice, this would gain their attention.
"The plague of sadness had came upon the group ... due to one death. The person you probably know mostly ... Jake." He left the name hang in the air before turning back to his own meal.

The chopsticks clattered to the plate. Shock and horror spread across Akane's face. "J-Jake? I-Is d-dead?" She gasped.

Her chair skidded backwards as she burst to her feet. Giant sobs began to wrack her lithe frame as she balled her fists and punched the table, her golden hair covering her face. "W-Where is h-he? W-Why? H-How?" she forced out between sobs. Again she punched the table, hard enough to leave a dent.

The Truth.
Doctor S, Akane and Annie.
Location: Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.
"Last time I saw him, Melethia carried the body ... as for how it happened. We were wondering the zone and the Anti-Shadow Weapon launched a surprise attack, the weapon she used completely destroyed his chest and beyond." He said in a low tone once more, but began to pick up his Chopsticks and suck up his Udon noodles and drank a bit of his green tea. The Doctor just wanted to get back to the Rising Dawn, he had to improve his experimental concoction.

The Angel particle was it?
The thing that could heal anyone and anything as long as it had enough time to analyse the patent and their body.
Sighing after he placed his tea down, now he felt like killing something.

Naganaki Shrine: Rugal, Mr. Skin
FAN MUSIC TIME! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phYKhNJAJ-A]

The pimp didn't so much as blink when his goons were thrown aside like dolls. He didn't flinch when the German body builder turned his gaze to him. No, he simply smiled, those honey colored eyes glaring into the blue as his body remained relaxed; still leaning against the slide, "Now, what do you think all killing is gonna get you? Me talking? Me caring for that matter? They followed me because of my wares, not because I told them to. Face it son, all you know is how to kill something properly. I can see it on your face.

You don't know how to do any good with them fists o' your's. Too much blood on em. A shame really, you could do so much better if you put that brain and brawn to good use; be a firefigher, a cop or sumthin. All I see is a shadow of what could have been a great man. So go on, kill me. I don't care. I lived it well, and if you do it, it'll just prove me right. I win either way!"


Iwatdatoi Station - Strip Mall - Wild Duck Burger: Som(?), Teri, Ella, Devon, Cadolbolg, Ryan, Kalastryn
Mood Music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmRQUuqtJas]

Teri gave a small sigh at Ella's statement, and tried to think of a way to worm out of it as the party made their way out, Cadolbolg making note of Devon's statement with, "Why don't you tell her then? She can fix you up lickety split in a Training room. There's no point to suffering more than you need to, and Teri feel happy helping people. So, you kill two birds with one stone there... And, if you don't, I will say something. I'm not going to let you keep hurting like this."

Without any further ado, (and with Ryan's help to get Kalastryn out of there), the party made their way out of the Wild Duck Burger, and begin their journey to:

Shadow Operatives Building: Teri, Cadolbolg, Ella Devon, Kalastryn, Ryan, Som(?)
Mood Music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGyVct4wi2E]

By the time they arrived, Teri spoke to the half succubus again, [color=0E59e4]"Ella, I know I said what I thought about God and alcohol, but I didn't mean for you to take it literally, after all I still have a lot to do. I'll probably have to help patch up the people returning from the Shadow Zone, and all sorts of other stuff. I should get going. We had something to tell Mitsuru anyways, so it's no big deal, right? You go have fun with Devon."
"You just told her you didn't tell her bout your birthday, and you're trying to ditch on a night on the town? Good luck, cause it ain't gonna happen."[/color]

As for Cadolbolg, he simply gave Devon a look and asked, "You better get to that pain confession, cause I will if you won't. That is, after Ella says no to Teri's request..."

Shadow Zone: Dragon's Den: Angelus, Caim, Melethia, Slindis, Ton Ton, Shadow Operatives
Mood Music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qxVXK4o8Tw]

[color=15650D]"You want to pick me up? No biggie!"[/color]
Before entering the zone with the party in tow, Ton Ton had happily allowed himself to be held like a stuffed toy again by Melethia. The action alone almost reminiscent of being held by the Mistress again, (as well as acting as the comforting toy to Devon on a few ocassions). Ton Ton was well versed in being the helpful dolly.

When he was also herded to the side with Melethia, wondering aloud, Ton Ton looked up to Slindis in confusion, [color=15650D]"Why are we being pushed aside? Does it look bad?"[/color]
[color=c200]"They need a moment to gather themselves."[/color]
[color=15650D]"Okay? Oh well, this gold is kinda pretty to look at anyways... I bet you could make something cool out of it, Ms. Melethia. You're very good at making things."[/color]

At the sound of others entering the Dragon's Den, two thoughts entered the pact partner's minds simultaneously:

1) We've been found!
2) WE'VE BEEN FOUND!

and the pair scrambled to grab the various bits of clothing that were missing from their person before exiting their temporary love nest, clothed, and somewhat embarrassed. At least, Angelus looked a bit more out of sorts than Caim did. Giving a light cough, she spoke first, "Well then, it's good you found us. When we looked for an exit, we couldn't find a thing. Anyway, the reason we're here is because of me."

She lowered her head, "My Shadow drug myself, and then Caim down. In fact, Slindis, if you examine him later, you'll find the burns it had wrought upon his Persona. I apologize for causing all of the trouble. Slindis, I also apologize for being thick-headed during your training; when you were trying to help me. Perhaps I could better the next time around? How long were we gone anyway? The last thing I know, I was alone after the Reaper shot us, then my Shadow attacked..."

Caim stepped up next, and added,
Code:
"She's right. That beast was as big as her normal self, but blacker. And she wasn't the only one. It tried to overwhelm me with my own too... How is everyone? Did they make it out okay?"
[color=15650D]"Mr. Caim! Ms. Angelus!"[/color]
Ton Ton ran forward, and grabbed each of the pact partner's legs in an awkward sort of hug and looked up to the two of them, [color=15650D]"I was really worried when the two of you disappeared! With Jake dying and you falling into a pit of black stuff, I was afraid we lost you both too. Not to mention what I'd have to explain to Cadolbolg..."[/color]

The two parents looked shocked at the news, Caim picking up the Tonberry with a wince,
Code:
"I didn't mean to scare you like that, Ton Ton. I'm sorry.... But it does appear that we've missed a lot..."
((Feel free to drop them at the Shadow Operatives building))

Kala woke up a few minutes after their arrival to the Shadow Operatives building. Not taking her shadow's words for granted, she puzzled for a moment, and before she went to see the other members of her group, she had reached a conclusion that put a look of the greatest joy on her face... she discovered who her author was. Finding the others in the building she said "Forgive me for causing such a stir... provided whether or not I actually did... but I had the strangest dream... no not a dream. I've never faced myself in a dream before... anyway, I've gone through a revelation! I know who my author is!" she said, building suspense. "I... don't have one." she said with a genuine smile, the kind she hadn't worn since she found Slindis aboard the Rising dawn in safety for the first time.

Slindis nodded. [color=c200]"Oh, I've had somewhat worse students. As for how long you were gone, I'd wager around two and a half hours. It seemed like a lot more, but most of us made it out safely. From what I've heard, though, Jake wasn't so lucky. Still, I knew the both of you were made of stern enough stuff to survive for that long, at least."[/color]

Mel chimed in as well. "It was a really nasty strike, too. Still, I returned the favor with that thing attacking us.

Ton-Ton, I could show you some more when we get back. It's all about hearing out the material."
After that, Melethia watched as Slindis Evoked Joanne to pour all of her Healing energy for the day into Caim and Angie to heal them up before leaving.

Shadow Operatives Building: Teri, Cadolbolg, Ella Devon, Kalastryn, Ryan, Som(?)

Teri took this opportunity to distract herself from Ella's angry leering to focus a bit on Kalastryn's new predicament, glad to see the tiefling up and running properly, [color=0E59E4]"Well, that certainly is new, if somewhat relieving news. And, it is good to see you up and kicking again, Kalastryn. Even when the basic vitals registered as normal, it's never good news when someone collapses."[/color]

Angelus and Caim gave small sighs of relief when they felt the healing energies wash over them: Angelus feeling each of the cuts from the Knights earlier patching themselves up, and Caim noticing the ugly designs of the burns fading back into his skin. After that, Ton Ton hopped back down to Melethia's side and onto the Elf's shoulder, [color=15650D]"Okay, let's grab some of this gold stuff, and I can watch when we get back?"[/color]

Giving one last look, the dragon gave a nod of agreement, "Thank you, Slindis... And yes, I would like to never see this place again, Ton Ton.... But poor Akane, she'll be worse for it."

The warrior gave a nod, and bent down to Melethia's level before saying,
Code:
"I hope you gave it hell."
and patting the warrior elf on the (Ton Ton free) shoulder. Getting back up, he motioned back and finished with,
Code:
"Well, no use sticking around here."

Devon gave a relieved nod, but she knew that she couldn't escape Cadolbolg's Glare much longer. [color=00c863]"I'm glad you found that out, Kalastryn... Anyway, Teri, I'm still feeling more than a bit sore. Would you mind helpiing me by heading to one of the Training zones to heal me?"[/color] Ella gave another good look at Teri to let the Cleric know now was the time to get the items in, but there was also another undercurrent in the look. Was Ella beginning to pay a lot of attention to her as well?

Devon didn't want to give Cadolbolg more reason to be angry, though, so she made a beeline to the nearest training room in the Shadow Ops building. Meanwhile, Ella handed the burgers over and gave Fuuka a basic report before heading to the exact same Training Room.

After everyone was ready to go, Slindis guided the group back outside of the Zone.

Teri tried to play off the glare as nothing more than impatience, and gave a quick wave to Ryan and Kalastryn, [color=0E59E4]"Welp, duty calls it seems! Talk to you guys later."[/color]

before walking with Ella, Devon and Cadolbolg to the nearest training room. Devon however, noticed that Cadolbolg's expression relaxed on their way there, now satisfied that his query was fulfilled.

[color=0E59E4]"Toyotama-hime!"[/color]

Destroying her arcana card [http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120720031717/megamitensei/images/d/da/PriestessCard.jpg] with a quick punch, the Persona [http://imgur.com/q7mjRI9] floated down from a cloud of mist; taking her spot behind Teri with her Trident lazily in hand and a coy, yet distant smirk on her face.
[color=0E59E4]"Sup, bitches?"
"You're not using the ring, they can't hear you."
"Don't mean I won't say 'Sup'. So, calling me up for some healing and poofing? You know standard procedure for that. Get to burning the turning attempts."
"Right. One healing Aura, coming up!"
[/color]

Code:
Teri burns a turn attempt to initiate the healing Aura for the day!
Turn attempts reamainging [s]7[/s] 6 Undead/5 Fire subtype
Following that, the Cleric scribbled something on her Tablet, Toyotama raising her trident before the appropriate stuff appeared beside Ella. After that, Teri began standard procedure of checking over the bard and muttering aloud, [color=0E59E4]"The hell did you do to yourself, Devon?"[/color]

Meanwhile, Cadolbolg, who was resting in Ella's hair, took note of the stuff being called in and asked Ella, "So what are we doing with all of this?"

Shadow Ops Building: Canteen: Deadshot, Akane, Annie, Wanderer
Akane just sobbed, great big heaves as she listened to the telling of Jake's death. How he sacrificed himself to save another. How the hit was fatal. How there was nothing they could do to save him. How they would remember him.

She wrapped her arms around herself, shaking in rage and despair. Her Author, gone, just like that. Her last link to her Knights. Gone.

Her voice came out a bare whisper. "Where is Melethia?"

"I don't know, I am sorry." Annie replied sadly. She had her own worries and needs.

Her eyes puffy and red, Akane looked up at Annie through her bangs. "Don't be sorry for his actions. He would have done it for any of us, that idiot." she said softly and sadly.

Not giving Annie a chance to reply other than to shout after her, the Kitsune ran off towards the entrance, tears again streaming freely. If she could just get to his soul before Jack did... Wait! Jack! Skidding to a stop she pulled out her small pouch and began rifling through it. Finding the small black object, she hit a button on it. It buzzed once, the page sent. The response came less than a minute later.

It made the Kitsune give out a wail and fall to her knees, the pager clattering to the ground. She held her face in her hands and with a dull thunk fell against the wall, crying her heart out.

The text on the pager read:
Code:
Passed On.
She was lost. Her last thread of hope for finding her Knights, gone like an ember on the wind.
