"Well normally when I do that people turn around while I jump," Minam pointed out, stepping back for a moment before clapping his hands together. This caused the field surrounding him and Marissa to shrink, this time only encasing Marissa before it began pressing against her.

"What are you trying to do?" She asked staring at him. Little did he know that due to her powers his would have no effect since she could counter. She went flames and ice at him ((why am I having to type this attack for a third time? Because haze ignored the first two.))

Sky's sensitive hearing picked up the footsteps. Still, she didn't turn to see who it was, instead she let out an exasperated sigh.

"What is it this time?"

Kat seemed amused by Rose's question. "What, besides being an old man and yet still the best swordfighter on the planet?" She asked rhetorically, smiling at it. "Besides his ability with a blade, he has two powers. The first... well you already know someone with it. You see, when there's more than one harbinger in close proximity... their powers go up to a massive degree... and such power increases stack. Which is why I need Colt and Alistair. Three of us together... it will be a sight to behold." She smiled. "Now my mentor... his second power is the real interesting one. He can manipulate Nether." Kat said softly. "And that's what makes him so terrifying. And why I came to you. I can't beat him, not alone. I need the only other harbinger that isn't on his side. I need your wolf."

(This takes place not in conjunction with the group.)

Aya stood from her seat, having finished reading something interesting on electromagnetism. "Hey, Colt; I need a favor. One that doesn't involve you being naked this time."

--

Nero had hidden himself among the crates, trying to keep out of sight. After lining up his shot, he fired at Minam's head. He and Marissa were preoccupied with one another, so he thought he would take it upon himself to try and attack.

That, however, would have gave away his position to Lucky.


Kalus was having a rough time; leaping and dodging out of the way of the hulking beast, he could only watch as it smashed through a number of crates. Jumping behind some, he leaped up to higher elevation, settling onto a crane. Then, he took another careful shot at the beast, hitting it in the core on its head.

The response was a roar of pain, which made him smirk. "Found your ticklish spot, buddy," he remarked, jumping from the crane as the beast leaped up to try and smash down on him.

--

Rose sat back in her chair. "Nether... Nether abilities... okay," it didn't show on her face, but she was almost in shock over how hopeless this situation seemed. "If these Harbingers are so strong near one another... and Colt is one of them, how exactly can we trust you with him?"

--

The footsteps were coming from a force that seemed to be invisible. However, when Sky would turn, she would see a woman standing in the living room, looking around. It was Sayloren - not corrupted, normal, but definitely confused. She seemed to speak to herself for a bit, but no sound came from her mouth.

OOC: @Midorikawa; he dodged them.

Minam didn't say anything at first, simply being shocked when he finally realized that Marissa wasn't actually being affected by his powers. "That's dumb," he pointed out as he tried his best to avoid her slashes.

Luckky grinned as he noticed the shot fired at Minam before throwing his coin towards the direction of the bullet, making sure to spin it around before doing so. "Head my buddy's dead and tails he lives," he mutters before the coin hit the floor, landing on tails as Minam jolted back, quickly throwing his arms back as his field extended to cover both him and Marissa, blocking the bullet.

Meanwhile Lucky turned around after picking up the bullet, unclasping a grenade from the belt he was wearing around his waist before throwing it to where Nero was.

Nicol meanwhile had gotte into his lightning form and was zooming through the ship, avoiding Spike's wind arrows as they rained down on him. "You're a pretty quick brat you know that," the ex gang member smirked before he flew at Nicol, throwing his fist forward and sending the boy flying with a powerful current of wind. Nicol vanished, turning himself in to Lightning before appearing behind Spike and taking out his guns, firing a barrage of electrically charged bullets. However, just as the bullets approached Spike they were stopped by a wall of wind surrounding him and were quickly deflected all around the ship.

Adam meanwhile was fighting in another part of the ship against Kane, doing his best to distract the man. King had come out as per requested but was quickly pushed back by Kane's own Guardian. Adam materialized a pair of shadow scythes before spinning around on the floor in attempt to slash at Kane. The man saw this though and quickly vanished before appearing behind his opponents, hands outstreched in a gun signal before he fired a powerful beam of light that blasted Adam away.

"Because I won't be coming to a place that held me prisoner if I didn't have good intentions." Kat protested. "After all, I could have just stayed with my mentor and destroyed the planet if that's what I was after." She pointed out dryly.


Colt pretended to pout. "But I like that particular favor." He mused, leaning over to take a look at what Aya was reading. "Sure, what's up?"

"Wh...what...I-I..no," Sky sputtered, staring at Sayloren that displayed her own confusion. Soon, the confusion was overridden by desperation, and finally shock.

"Birdie..?"

Robin continued thrashing vigorously against the restraints, trying to escape her isolated dungeon. The only difference from before her attempted escape and now was that she was no longer screaming and shouting insults on the top of her lungs, simply because she was near to losing her voice and wanted to "save it." Instead, she had her teeth bared in a inhumane way and grunted and growled with every thrash, leaving the room filled with the girl's struggles.

Although it was getting her nowhere, it would leave the doctors with a clear message - they could electrocute and sedate her all they wanted while she was restrained in an isolation room but it wouldn't stop her from continuing her crazed rampage. Instead, it only boosted it. The doctors would have to try harder if they wanted to make a dent into her insanity.

Marissa threw her fire sword, flames coming from it, her ice sword where she was standing, and ice her there. Thus she would be unseen by her enemy, hidden by flames, replaced by ice as she moved in close.

On Aya's book was an image of various formulas for calculating vectors. In specificity, one portion of the book was underlined - 'electromagnetic vector values'.

"So, you know how you can fling stuff, right...? What if I apply that to my electromagnetism and use it? With enough force, I could shatter buildings!" Aya seemed to be genuinely excited about the idea, something that hadn't been seen in a long time from her.

--

Sayloren didn't answer her, only looking around. She mouthed a few words, as if trying to call out to someone. Her body was flickering in and out of existence as she walked around the living room, searching.

--

Nero saw the grenade get thrown, moving out of the way quickly. He ducked behind a crate before teleporting away to leave no visible trace of himself.

Colt considered this for a moment. "It is definitely theoretically possible." He mused as he read what Aya was trying to show him. "Of course the challenge then becomes aim. Even with my ability to aim, when trying to control something with that much destructive force... I could see that being a challenge."

Sky's mouth dried out as she watched her deceased friend wander about. She thought back to all the memories they shared as kids. She felt her consciousness slowly slip away as all faded to black, soon replaced by the vivid imagery of a flashback.

"Hey, Birdie."

The freckled face of the brunette turned to her friend in question, raising an inquisitive brow.

"Yeah, Sky?"

"Do you think we're gonna be friends forever?" The golden-eyed 14-year old asked, bringing her knees up to her chest out of anticipation for an answer.

"Well, 'course we are. If you didn't want to be friends, then you would've pushed me away years ago." The pale skinned Sayloren gave a wry smile. Out of the two of them, Birdie was the more humorous, always keeping up their spirits with the positive aura of energy that seemed to surround her 24/7. "All I need is Sky to be happy," she mumbled dreamily, bursting out into a giggle.

Sky looked away, then tried to clear her thoughts. Grappling for a small box behind her, she finally connected her jittery fingers to it and attempted looking her best friend in the eye. Alas, to no avail. It was impossible, with such a silly friend. Averting her gaze, she hastily slid the small box over to Birdie. "Open it."

When the other girl did, she found a necklace consisting of yarn, ten beads, and a total of five charms resting in the middle of the string. She smiled and leaned forward, crushing Sky in a deadly hug.

"You're such a wreck," Birdie smirked, noticing that Sky had been trembling the whole time. "Lucky you have me as your rock."

"You wish," Sky muttered, obviously flustered by her friend. She had managed a smile of her own, in the end.


During the sudden flashback, Sky had ended up back on the couch. She didn't move, still locked in the darkness of her subconscious.

"Then I'll train my aim," she said, reading down the page. "Practice it until I can get it right on the dot."

Colt nodded. "Then that's our next step. To get your aim so precise that the power doesn't throw it off."

After what seemed like an hour of walking, she felt the numb throb of the curse trying to bypass the counter-curse laid upon her mind. There were a few moments when she felt the throb grow a bit, only for it to slowly ebb away. The pattern spiked at an erratic pace, making her stop walking altogether a few times. It was always quick to rise, and slow to subside. Letting out a low grunt, she leaned for a bit on the wall beside her, coming to the end of the hall. She grappled at the door, managing to open it quietly enough.

It was probably just her, but the further into the hallway Metzli went, she swore the pressure around her was building up. It probably wasn't a great thing. She certainly didn't expect Aya and Colt in the room, too busy with being a bit dazed.

Rose narrowed her eyes a bit. Sighing, she stood from her chair. "Fine."

The two then walked down the stairs of the HQ, entering a structured detainment area. The highest levels of dampeners were put on every inch of the place, there to prevent Riftwalker abilities from activating. Inside of a locked cell, sitting bound to a seat, was Alistair.

He was haggard, his long hair draping over his face. Once the door opened, Kat and Rose stepped inside. The former was still bound to her cuffs - better to be safe than sorry, especially when it came to the Harbingers.

"Say what you have to and we leave," Rose said.

Alistair looked up, eyes a bit sullen when looking at seeing Kat. "Katerina," his voice was a bit hoarse. Whatever he had been going through, it was taking a toll on him. "How are you, my dear sister?"

--

When Metzli entered, Aya had her arms around Colt. After discussing the projectile launching, Aya had decided it was time for a break. And by break, she meant some cuddling time with Colt. With him sitting in a chair, Aya was straddling his lap while kissing him lovingly on his lips.

Breaking apart, she turned to see Metzli. "Metz? You're back. How'd it go, feel any better?"

Colt blinked twice. "Uh oh hey Metz." He clearly wasn't expecting to see her, especially with Aya straddling him like she currently was. However, he certainly didn't mind so he didn't make any effort to move. "You feeling alright?" He asked, concerned for Metz's health given the events of late.

"You know I hate that name." Kat said with a slight smile as she pulled over a chair and sat down across from Alistair. "I need your help. We need your help." She got straight to the point. "I need to know what the old man is planning. The old man, Ripred and Kane... I know what they want to do but I need to know how they're going to do it."

Alistair looked at her with a raised eyebrow, leaning back in his chair. "What makes you think I would know that?"

Kat rolled her eyes. "Because with me out of the picture and the fact that Colt was never really in the picture... dear Cezalle only had so many of our kind to count on." She sighed. "Our kid sister isn't really... well she's chaotic as they come and we both know that Colt was the favorite son over Michael..." She trailed off. "Don't make this hard on us. If you help me out, Colt and I will talk Null into being lenient..."
