Leon's emotions were in conflict once again. Just like the night before, his darker impulses had been so close to indulgence, only to be denied closure at the last moment. Part of him still wanted to harm someone, and the other half was still trying to maintain control. Struggling to remain stable, he left the cafe, running wordlessly until he found a tree a short distance away, which he immediately started to tear into with his blade.

His hope was to satiate his bloodlust by exhausting himself, but even as he slashed the tree, his anger was still clearly present. If anything, it seemed to be getting worse by every slash. His blade continued to glow more and more brightly as he struck the tree, while Troy and Juliet's words continued to echo in Leon's mind. Before too much longer, Leon let out an almost inhuman shout, his blade suddenly releasing a slash of dark, bloodred energy that cut straight through the tree.

Damian looked up at Lyra and sighed. "I didn't mean to make her mad like that - I just wanted to see if she recognised me. I've made enemies before I could make a friend - what kind kf a person does thsg?" He sighed again before drinkinh some water.

"Every human has someone they care about or that cares about them," Kai pointed out towards Mordic and Gabriel as he stood up and began walking towards the entrance. "That or they want to live to the last possible second. Listen, I'm sure we can find a method for you to get this problem settled but killing people isn't the answer," he explained before walking out of the building, a frown on his face as he waited outside for the others.

"Well your dad isn't known for being the one with the most tact," Lovo commented dryly as he let go of Juliet and stepped back. "Listen, I'm willing to help you with this, and so is everyone else, but we can't unless you get a better hang of your powers," he explained while crossing his arms. "I don't know if I can help you out but if you trust us then I'm sure we can do something," he explained, giving her a warm smile. "So just trust in us."

***

"It's okay, you were just trying to help her out," Lyra smiled at Damien before panting up and patting his head gently. She turned towards the kitchen for a moment, noticing that Shun had walked back into the kitchen. She couldn't help but be uneasy when she saw the boy but she figured she'd talk to her husband about it later.

Juliet considered this for a long moment, eventually nodding, her crying far more calm now. "I'm just so scared... both of dying but also of what might happen once I lose full control. I might have killed Felicity today. Or that new boy, just for asking me a question. Or even Gabriel and Kai during that mess last night..." She trailed off, sighing. "I do owe the team an explanation of what's going on, but beyond that I might have to leave them again. I don't want to be a ticking timebomb around them."

"I know, but she literally wants to kill me and..." Damian noticed that Lyra was looking uneasy about the boy in the kitchen. "Everything all right?" He asked her.

Gabriel helped Mordic up, walking her out. "You're wrong. Not everyone has someone. But since you are so afraid of BHA," Gabriel said pulling out his phone. He called waiting for an answer. "Frey what's up? Is there anyone on the execution list back home?"

...

"I want to feed them to a demon. It's a friend, and they don't have a choice."

...

"Euthanasia? Even better. Yeah just send them here if possible. Don't exactly want to go home, not that it matters since they know my location."

...

"Is that so... maybe I'll call them later. By the way is there anything strange happening back home?"

...

"I don't care. I'm just glad you finally got over Felicity. By the way what's the buy in for the bet?"

...

"The bet on which of you will die first."

Gabriel let out a laughing, grinning as he said goodbye to the other line. "So there is a guy looking to be euthanized. He'll come here for it. He's a seraph, and his family will be here too. Seraphim allow euthanasia so if BHA has an issue then let them bring it up with the king of my species."

"Yeah, I'm okay," Lyra replied as she turned towards Damien, nodding her head.

At that moment the door to the bakery opened again, causing Lyra to turn towards it as she saw Jason from Zero standing by hte doorway. The man was wearing Zero's main uniform, or rather a white variant with a black 0 in contrast to the usual black one. His white hair waved around as he walked into the bakery. "It's nice to see you guys ag...no one I know fromt his group is here," he pointed out as he looked around before turning to Lyra.

"What's going on here Jason?" Lyra asked the Paladin ranked Hunter.

"I'm sorry to do this Lyra," Jason said with a downcast expression before sighing. "But the BHA has tasked Zero with apprehending and keeping Knight's Void under surveillance."

Lovo looked at Juliet before nodding his head, understanding why she was thinking what she was thinking. "All right, I won't stop you if that's what you think is best," he explained as he smiled at the woman.

"Thanks, Gabriel." Mordic told him with a faint smile, glancing up towards the sky.

Juliet's eyes went wide. "Lovo, we have to get out of here." She said softly. "They're coming for us." Juliet muttered. "They're coming."

"Um guys," Kai turned to both Gabriel and Mordic with a tired expression on his face. "We should head to the bakery already," he informed as he pocketted his hands. At that moment Kai felt a tingling in his ears, causing him to turn around. He noticed someone overlooking the three from afar, a shadow covered in a cloak similar to the man he had seen in the mission at the western gate. As he saw the figure walk out of sight he turned around desperately before beginning to run. "Go ahead without me!" he yelled out as he ran off.

***

"What do you mean? why?" Lovo asked in confusion as he looked at Juliet, a worried expression on his face.

***

"What do you mean? why capture them?" Lyra asked as she got up and looked at Jason.

"With the current protests going on the BHA thinks that Knight's Void is too dangerous," Jason replied calmly as he looked at his old friend. "Not only do you have an old paladin rank like Lovo on your side but Kai and Juliet are children of saint level hunters and...we heard you have this person too," he said before taking out a smartphone and showing her pictures of Mordic's Wendigo form rampaging.

Chrome turned to Felicity. "Go back to th ekitchen, we shouldn't get involved," he advised.

Mordic glanced back to see Kai run off.

"What's his deal?" She asked Gabriel quietly, starting towards the bakery - albeit reluctantly. That idiot was also there, the spoon boy. Who knew what would happen if he provoked her again.

"The feds." Juliet said after a moment. "I'm a danger to them they say." She sighed. "Kai as well." Juliet added after a few moments. "Something about you being a paladin and us being Saint-level children..." She sighed. "Ow... my head. Sorry I can't get anymore, I lost my connection."

"Wait what are they going to do? Are they going to hurt Gabriel? He didn't do anything," Felicity began asking with clear worry.


```````````

"Mordic go back to the cafe. I'm going to fetch our idiot leader," Gabriel said before running off after Kai.

"Alright.." Mordic mumbled, sighing a bit as she started towards the cafe in shambles. She didn't know why Gabriel had run off, but she did as told. Besides, she was getting bad vibes from the bakery. Her wendigo side was telling her so.

Leon was making his way back to the bakery, moderately tired from his actions but at least much calmer than when he'd left. Upon reaching the bakery, he walked in normally for once, eyes glancing back at the ruins of the tree as he spoke, though he trailed off momentarily upon noticing yet another unfamiliar face.

"Hey sorry about earlier. I had to let off some steam.....Who's this?"

Nix noticed Mordic running, and smirked. "Perfect. It's easier when they're alone," he said to himself, drawing a chain that flew out to wrap itself around her neck like one would a dog.

Lovo looked at Juliet, horrified as he listened to her words. He knew that the BHA would most likely intervine after everything that had happened th enight before but he didn't think it'd be so soon. "Okay, I'll go back ther eand try and settle things," he said towards the girl. "You run away now, I'll contact you once things blow over," he said before he turned around and began running, worrying about Lyra and the others.

Kai noticed that Gabriel was following after him, seeing him from the corner of his eye. He didn't pay too much to him though as he turned towards the cloaked man once more, seeing him running not too far from him. "Stop running already!" Kai yelled out. "You're Tyler aren't you!"

The man didn't reply, instead he turned on another corner.

***

"The BHA works that way my dear," Chrome shook his head in disappointment. "When they capturesomeone they capture them all, they probably won't do anything to him and let him go once they decide what to do with the ones they do want," he said as he looked at her, putting his arms around her waist. "If he does come and they do go after him then you can't do anything, not like I'll let you."

Noticing this with her heightened senses, Mordic barely dodged the chain and commenced her transformation. The almost seven-foot-tall beast grabbed onto the chain and yanked on it.

Juliet nodded, taking off just as Lovo requested. As she ran, she noticed Kai and Gabriel's mental signatures in the distance. Figuring she should try and meet up with them, she started making her way towards them, being careful not to be seen.

"Looks like we found one," Jason said as he turned back to the others, taking out his guns and pointing it at them. "Now, you guys should come without a struggle."

"Come on Jason, they're just kids!" Lovo prostested, appearing in the center of the cafe all of a sudden, his eyes glaring at Jason as he clenched his fists.

"I'm sorry for doing this Mister Lovo," Jason replied with a frown, turning towards Lovo. "But the BHA thinks they'r too dangerous to allow to run free."

"Getting scared of protests seems really sill if you ask me," Lovo countered, crossing his arms before noticing that Mordic and Nix were fighting outside already.
