Roleplay:Reale's Night Lights

This Roleplay is invited Only

Overview
Reale City has many names, but to put in short; it's a casino town. In the world of Mobius, this is a town full of money, spending, some of the best food around, and one of lights. However, this makes it a target for many different kinds of criminals and brigands to make their home here. It is a town full of crime, and even the mayor herself has been accused of working against the government of United Federation.

So, when a group of mobians somehow manage to run into one another in this town, things start to go down. From mercenaries, to assassins, this town tries to destroy Neo and his friends. Will they be able to make it through this town alive, or will a certain doctor be their downfall?

Rules

 * Don't dodge everything in combat, otherwise I'll might have to add a dice system into this somewhere and I don't really want to do that.
 * Swearing isn't allowed. (Crap, Damn, Hell are fine.) if you need to say a swear that isn't any of those three, then censor it out using *'s.
 * Don't kill or take something out with a single move, that's just not cool.
 * Don't kill someone's character without their permission. Not only is that uncool, but I will not stand for it. That being said, no name characters like 'guards' or something, is something I'm okay with you killing.
 * Don't auto hit either, that's still not a cool thing.
 * Do not blatently break the fourth wall, references to things are fine, but doing something like, directly saying your in a roleplay just isn't something you should do.
 * This is not ERP, so no sexual content. Romantic things (Kissing, hugging, etc) are fine, and innuendo is fine, but don't do...you know...
 * I don't like posting orders, so we won't use one. However, if things get too chaotic and I think someone is getting left behind, I will inact a posting order using a randomizer. We're a team, we can't let someone get left behind.
 * "Do try to have fun, dear"

Part 1: Welcome to Reale City
Neo looked over the buildings around him as he moved through Reale City. His eyes reflected the bright lights, and even though he normally didn't show emotion, he looked estatic to be here. He loved the way the city looked, and the promise of fortune in the air, it was something that made him very happy. "Guys, this is awesome!"

"Neo, we haven't even tried any of the games yet." Zero remined him, keeping a watchful eye over his surroundings. "Just try to relax."

"I like him like this." Fey admitted. "Let's just see where this goes."

Zapor was jumping up and down. "This is gonna be so cool!"

"Someones happy." Leo said.

Zapor turned to Leo. "YEAH! Apparently the people who laid my egg, whatever you call them, had a casino, so I get to have it since I'm their...whatever you call that one thing!" He said excitedly.

"Your parents owned a casino and you inherited it, because you are their son." Echo reminded Zapor.

"Oh yeah." Zapor remembered.

"Now everyone, remember," Ages started. "This is a town full of weirdos, creeps, overall; just some strange people, so we need to be very careful."

"Yeah ok." Lexi said.

"Lets just go!" Zapor said.

Arcanium walks out of an ally way, with a book in hand reading it softly to herself. "Zarisium, colbarium, nickle, and gold. Surrounded by a chalk circle and i can easily summon one of the spirits."

When the woman walked out of the alley way, Both Fey and Zero immediately turned towards her. "Excuse me, miss?" Fey called out.

She looks up from the book, her gaze settling upon them. "Oh, um yes? Do you need something?" She asks, her eyes showing a slight twitch, indicating nervousness.

A yellow lynx with a grey trenchcoat was headed towards the casino that Zapor had inherited with the intent of getting wasted and playing a few of the casino games.

"This is going to be a fun vacation... I can already tell by the casino and the smell of desperation." The cat said as he started reminiscing on, to him, good times.

For a minute Fey wasn't really sure what to say. "Uh...what are you doing here?" She finally said. "This place is full of lots of really bad people. Plus with no libraries or magic academies, this place doesn't really seem like somewhere a mage should be."

The cat seemed to have caught Neo's eye. Neo watched him as he approached the casino, and he nodded, knowing that soon he'd be doing the exact same thing.

Her face shows confusion as she looks around. "Honestly...I don't know where I am. One minute I was in my hometown, the next I woke up in that ally way over there." Arcanium closes her book, hesitantly taking a step towards Fey.

"You can tell she's a mage?" Ages asked.

Fey smiled. "Her magic power is incredible."

"She's lost." Zero noted. "Sounds suspicious that she doesn't know how she got here."

"Nonsense, she couldn't hurt anyone." Fey said.

"Well, if you're sure about that..." Ages sighed. "Young lady, if you'd like, you may travel with us for a while." He flashed a badge. "My name is Detective Ages, I'm a detective of the Mobian Mysteries Detective Agency, and a member of the Station Square State Police."

"And I'm Zapor!" Zapor said.

"Oh uh, nice to meet you all.. My name is Arcanium Rose, and well yes as she said i am what you call a mage, i guess." She looks at each of them noting their appearance. "And if it's okay with you, it would be my privilege to join you for now."

"Alright then." Neo said a little impaitently. "Then let's get going."

The fox brothers both led the way into the casino, where just as many lights were flashing. The room was full of people, and electronic sounds coming from all over the place. There was a bar off to the side, and a large dance floor a few feet from it.

Ages looked around. "Excuse me for a moment, there's a certain someone I need to meet." He said before turning and leaving.

"Huh, dance floor and games? I'm down for that." He turned to the group. "Well, who wants drinks? I'm buying!"

"You can't possibly be serious." Zero noted.

"We're all under age, Neo Tranquil!" Fey said in an appauled voice. "How could you even-"

"You guys are no fun." Neo moaned. "I'm gonna go gamble." He made his way over to a card table.

"Interesting." Fate noted. "This place is so bright. I didn't think the casinos would be like a rave party."

Echo was staring into the dance floor. "Do you guys see that?" She asked and pointed to a girl in a leather jacket dancing with an immense amount of skill. "She looks so cool!"

"Yeah! And there's a frozen yogurt place in here! My parents are geniuses!" Zapor ran into the crowd to get the frozen yogurt.

"Huh. His parents really did the place up. I'm gonna go make sure Neo doesn't lose all the money." Zak said, going to find Neo.

Arcanum follows them into the casino, never being in one before. "Uhm if you don't mind me asking, what's a casino?"

"It's a place of desperation, greed and cards.... Kinda like back home.." The lynx said as he walked up to the group. "You guys mind if I join up with you, until I get to the casino?" He asked.

"Sure." Zero said. "I'm Zero. The green fox that just left is Neo. The taller yellow cat is Fate, and her sister is Echo."

"The name is Saren, Saren Arcturias.." The lynx, now identified as Saren, said. "You guys here for business or pleasure?"

"Little of both, actually." Zero said. "How 'bout you?"

"Same." Saren responded.

Leo looked at Saren, starting to remember something. "...Saren?"

Zapor came back with the frozen yogurt, sharing some with Echo. "Hi new guy." He said to Saren.

"Yeah that's me." Saren said as he waved at Zapor.

A purple mouse in an indigo buisness suit followed by a red robin wearing a grey suit approached the group. "Good evening." The mouse said. "I hope you all are enjoying yourselves."

"Yeah." Zapor said. "Are you the manager?"

"Something like that." The mouse said. "My name is Millie, I'm the mayor of Reale City. You look very familiar." She said. "Are you, by chance, Zaporioniklathin William?"

Saren started laughing. "Zapor! Oh god that's funny!" Saren said between bouts of laughter.

Zapor's face turned slightly red, with the tips of his hair slightly turning white. "...Yes.."

"I thought his rich nickname was Percival William.." Leo whispered, with Zapor punching him in the stomach after.

Saren overheard Leo and started laughing even louder at his long name. "Percival Williams!? Stop!.. Just stop! You're killing me with laughter!"

Millie gave an endearing smile. "Your parents used to own the most popular casino back in the day. They were both very good friends of mine before..." She stopped. "Well, it's good to see that you are still around."

"Yep. And its good to see they have a bar, a gamble place, and a frozen yogurt shop!" Zapor said with a smile. "Blade's at....basketball camp"

"They have a bar?" She snaps up from her book. "And where may i find this said bar?"

Saren stopped laughing after few seconds and stood up. "Sorry, but that was kinda funny."

"How old are you, Arcanium?" Fey asked.

'The legal drinking age in the state of Station Square is 18." Fey reminded everyone.

"16, in Reale." Millie corrected her. "Things are a little different in this town."

"Huh. This place has class." Lexi said.

"You're telling me.. The legal drinking age is sixteen and there is a casino here." Saren said "Plus the women here are very good looking." Saren tbought to himself.

"Yes, some people consider this town to be a paradise." Millie sighed.

"Yet, you don't seem content..." Zero noted.

"No...I'm not." Millie said. "Despite the good that I've tried to do for this city, there are problems everywhere you turn."

"Problems?" Zapor said, eating some of his frozen yogurt.

"Either you don't have good law enforcement or you can't handle the problem yourself.. Just when my vacation is starting." He muttered.

"A little of both, I suppose." Millie admitted. "Between card counters, thieves, gangs, and, Mobius forbid, murderers, things here are chaos, I just can't seem to catch a break and make this city clean."

"That's because you won't be able to get it done on your own." Said a green fox girl, in a leather jacket, blue trainers, and black jeans. She has a small bag on her belt, and there are daggers on both of her sides. The oddest thing about her, was her eyes. At first glance it looked like she had yellow eyes but as you kept looking, you noticed that the shades of yellow in the iris would change color and they flickered often. "Try as hard as you might, you will never know the fullest extent of what goes on in this town without being a little dubious."

"And you would?" Millie asked.

"Yes, I would." The fox girl smiled. "Trinity Moon, at your service. I happen to specialize in...things like this. Odd tasks of the craziest proportions, you know?"

"Mrs. Seeker." The red robin finally spoke up. "I've heard of this girl, she's nothing but a mercenary. They call her The Phoenix."

"Looks like you need to hire a new bodyguard, Missus Mayor, this one's already scared of a little girl." Trinity laughed. "Look, here's the deal: The kingpin of one of the mafia branches is in town. You take him down, you'll scare away some of the other ruffians. You approach him on your own, or with the bodyguard here, they'll just run off, and nothing will change. You send a group to them with no reputation in this city." She gestured to Zero, Arcanium, Saren, and Zapor. "And you just might have a chance at it."

Saren sighed, having a feeling that his vacation is gonna be ruined. "I better get paid a lofty sum of money for this..." Saren said, exasperated that his vacation might be cut short. "And on my vacation too... I just never get a break, I already have a job coming in soon.. Hopefully it doesn't interfere or conflict with this one.." He muttered.

"So if we kill the boss, and take down whatever minions he has, the rest of the gang will run? Sounds like something off of a game I played..." Zapor said.

"Yeah, except the difficulty is never on easy and if you die you don't get a restart..." Saren muttered.

"You want me to hire a group of assassins?" Millie asked.

"Now hold on; Assassin is just...a dirty word, I prefer mercenary." Trinity mentioned. "But, yes, that is exactly what I'm telling you to do."

"So...we're gonna kill the guy?" Echo asked.

"What about just jailing him?" Fate suggested. "Wouldn't that do the trick?"

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there." Trinity brushed the idea aside. "Personally, I don't really find anything more satisfying then finishing someone off after a good brawl." She looked to Saren. "You agree with me on that, right?"

"Meh. As long as it comes with a good ending catchphrase." Zapor shrugged.

Millie was silent for a while. "How much do these services cost?"

Saren looked at trinity and nodded before turning his head back to Millie. "Hm... As this cuts into my vacation and the fact that you probably want this guy alive instead of a corpse... I'd say about.... Sixty thousand mobiums... But because I like this place I'll just cut you a deal and drop the price down to thirty thousand mobiums." Saren said, giving a discount because he felt like it.

Leo and Lexi shrugged, not really caring about the price.

"So let's say I hire a bunch of...assassins..." Millie said.

"Hold on a minute." Fey stepped in. "Now, I get that killing people may be some people's way of dealing with things, but we aren't killers. Surely there is a better way than killing him."

"Personally, I don't have a problem with it." Zero said. "If he's gone, it will cause tension in the gangs, it's pretty good logic."

"Couldn't jailing him do the same thing?" Fey suggested.

"Only if you want him to break out a few days later." Trinity replied.

"Well, what does Neo think?" Fey finally said. "He is the 'leader' right? What does he have to say?"

"Neo's still gambling with Zak." Zapor said, his hand reaching in his pocket.

"Well killing him could easily cause tension in a few gangs..." She interrupted. "But the other thing that could happen, and more than likely, is that they could retaliate and kill more than just one person, more like mass murders."

Saren smirked. "Well, what other choice do you have? It's not like you can ask him nicely to stop." He said with a hint of mocking in his tone.

"And why not?" Fate asked. "Chased by plastic people, hunting gangs, and finding secret castles are all things we've done, out of everything we have done, would it be so odd for him to just agree to stop?"

"Because people like him are mostly stubborn, which is half of how they ended up in a gang in the first place." Lexi added.

"Our options are limited." Millie sighed.

"Then let's wait and see." Fey suggested. "We don't even know if we can beat this guy, we all assume we can beat him. So, once he's down, then we can figure out what to do with him. If we think we can jail him, then we can do that, but if he's too dangerous...we can kill him."

"70% of the time, their dangerous." Zapor said.

"Sure, the wait and see approach." Saren sighed. "I'm guessing the mayor wants this guy dealt with as soon as possible, and just waiting around won't help with that, and jailing him won't do much of anything if he has connections and money. The way I see it, it's better off to bury him so less lives are in danger."

Zapor nods in agreement.

Trinity hands Fey a walkie Talkie. "Whatever you say lady. I'm going to go ahead and see where this guy is. If I find anything I'll let you know."

Trinity left just before Neo approached the group. He looked from Millie, to the walkie talkie, to the group, then sighed. "How much are we getting paid?"

"Is that honestly the first thing you can think of?" Fey asked.

"We're here on vacation, sleeping beauty, we aren't supposed to be working." Neo retorted. "If we're doing work, I assume there is pay?"

"Yes." Millie said. "The good thing about Reale is that commerce has never been an issue. I can pay all of you, quite well, in fact."

"Then where are we headed?" Fey asked.

"There is a part of Reale that doesn't exactly look appealing." Millie said and handed Neo a map. "Over here, in this district you'll find where a lot of gangs hang out, it's dangerous, so be careful."

"Lots of gangs..." Zapor muttered. Just as he said that, Zak came back, putting some money in his vest pocket.

"My mood is based on profit, and right now I am in the mood for profit!" Saren said, a grin on his face at the thought of getting paid.

"Then let's get going." Neo said and walked out, followed by the rest of the group.

"Saren," The robin finally whispered to Saren. "Just remember, the Wicked are always watching..."

Part 2: Into the Night
The group found their way towards the rougher part of town and while a lot of people did look very suspicious, none of them were part of the Mafia, just other gangs.

"This is gonna take forever." Neo groaned.

"You're welcome to go back to vacationing. Just means more money for me." Saren told Neo in a glib tone.

"Dont worry. The leaders never show their faces. Thats why they send their goons out to get stuff for them. We just need to find the specific goons of the mafia boss, follow them back to their place, take out everyone including the boss, and we're all good." Zapor said.

"And which goons would they be?" Lexi asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Obviously the ones carrying stuff." Saren said in a bored tone.

"They're all carrying something." Neo retorted and looked up at a fairly tall building. "Hang on, I'm gonna go find them." He dashed away towards the building.

"Okay," Crackled the Walkie Talkie. "I think I've found the building they're in, but...I can't tell how many guys are in there."

"Just tell me where the building is and let me worry about the number of goons." Saren responded.

Zak thought for a second. "With the amount of danger this guy cause, and him being a leader, there's bound to be about near 20 to 45 goons."

"I doubt the numbers are gonna be a problem." Trinity's voice crackled in. "There's more to it than that though, I've talked with some of the locals, this guy ain't an easy target. From alien hunting, to mobian stuffing, this guy has a weird taste in just about anything. If the amount of guys he has is small, than something's up."

Leo shuddered at the description. "Ok, so maybe this guy is a total nut. He can't really take on all of us, right?" Lexi asked.

Saren just grinned in anticipation. "Yes! A challenge!"

"Might be a little more than a challenge." Fey pointed out. "Sounds like the guy knows how to hunt you down."

"There isn't really going to be a challenge." Trinity said. "I've done some digging, this guy...he can cause sleep paralysis with a trigger word. He can knock us down the minute we get in there. Fortunatly, it's a mind game, and once it's done, it's done. The question is; how strong is your mind?" Trinity asked.

"You don't need to worry about that.." Saren said with a grin.

"Yeah, Zapor's head is so thick that he doesn't even need a strong mind." Lexi said, with Zapor putting ammo into his gun.

"Does it say what the trigger word is?" Zak asked.

"Who knows.. Who cares.." Saren said as he fingered something inside one of the pockets on his coat.

"Considering the guy spends his free time hunting Mobians and whatever you are Saren, I don't think there's anything you have that he isn't aware of." Zero noted.

"I don't know the trigger word." Trinity said. "I do know that is very taxing to perform something like this, though. If we can make him use the effect to put us all under, and then work our way through it, internally, we could easy get this guy knocked down in just a couple of minutes."

"Seems easy enough." Leo said, with Wheelie agreeing.

Saren shrugged. "Onwards! For the money!" Saren cheered, being very blunt as to why he's even doing this.

"I'll meet you at the building." Trinity told the group, and the walkie talkie crackled again.

"She didn't tell us where the building was..." Zero noted.

Neo jumped down off the building. "Kay, I found it." He said. "There's roughly 15 guys between him and us, and the guy's got some really shiny stuff in his room." He grinned. "Let's rob him."

"Or, we could knock out his men, take all the ammunition they have, rob him, and then see what types of guns he has and rob him of those." Zapor said.

"I could hack into his stuff." Zak shrugged.

"Hm.. You guys could do that and possibly risk activating some failsafes or we could get the man himself to access all of his wealth and other valuables for us... Then we could kill him." Saren said in a sage like manner.

"Psh, that isn't sportsmans like." Neo retorted. "If we force him to do it himself, then where's the fun? The point of being a thief is to try and steal stuff, not to have people do it for us."

"...You've gotta be kidding me..." Zero said. "Neo, we're here to stop the guy, not to rob him."

"Why not...both?" Neo asked.

"He makes a fair point. Me and Saren could nail him, and Neo could rob him. Everyone wins." Zapor added in.

"Yeah, Plus this guy probably got all his wealth through illegal means.." Saren said, hinting at the lack of moral implications for taking this guys wealth.

"Also, how else would we access his bank accounts?" Saren asked Neo.

"I come from a rich family who made their fortune off of technology." Neo said. "I can get around bank accounts, but that's all technology and whatever, it's all cut and dry, no personality."

"Well whatever, we should probably get moving so we don't miss all the fun." Saren stated, his hands inside his coat pockets.

Zapor smiled, loading some bullets in his guns in case he needed to shoot something.

Saren smirked and pulled out his scythe from his shadow, gleeful at the idea of bloodshed.

Neo led the group through several different alleyways full of thugs, who would have stopped to mug them if they were stupid enough to not notice the weapons they all carried. The group eventually came to another bright cheery looking building, with no guards in the front. You can hear sounds of a struggle coming from the inside.

"Yeesh, for thugs they have a nice looking place. Well, at least for 10 more minutes." Zapor said.

"True." Saren responded.

"Its really hard to look at." Neo said.

"I'm still trying to figure out ho-" Zero started, but was interrupted by a guy being thrown through the doors, breaking them down in the process. "Let's focus on that later."

The bottom of the floor was just as bright as the outside, filled with colorful lights all around. There were many broken slot machines lay strewn across the black and white tile floor. Unconsious people were all over too, as if a fight just finished. In the center of it all, stood an unfamiliar fox with yellow fur, and for a split second, it looked like she was burning. Though, with better focus, one could identify her as Trinity. "He's upstairs." She said angrily.

"K...did you knock all these guys out?" Leo asked, Wheelie standing close to him and the rest of the group starting up the stairs.

"I like this one.." Saren said, pointing to trinity. "Now come on!" Saren cheered as he headed upstairs.

The rest of the group followed through to the next floor where they found a door, and busted through it.

The top floor was insanely creepy. Several different bodies lay all about, either unconscious or dead, different skins of mobians, humans, aliens, and chaos knows what were hanging on the walls, and in the middle of it all was an odd looking fat man, in a suit. He immediatly turned to the group, upon their entry. "Why, hello there." He said in an oddly smooth and calm voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Stopping a creepy godfather." Zero told him.

"Ah, but why would you do something like that?" The creeps hands started to glow, and suddenly the group started to feel very sleepy. "Wouldn't it just be better to just lay down, and sleep? To let all of your problems drift from the world? You deserve a break, you deserve to relax..."

Neo, Zero, Trinity and Fate didn't last long, and they all fell to the ground in slumber. Fey turned to the rest of the group and struggled to speak. "We...we need to focus..." She said. "The rest of you...need to save us inside..." Her hand started to glow gold. "Div..ine...aeg...is..." A gold light shimmered around Saren, Zapor, Zak, Leo, Lexi, Echo and Arcanium before Fey fell down in slumber to.

"Come now children...rest..." And with that, it was light's out.

Part 3: The Land of slumber
The group awoke in a field of dead grass and rotten dirt. The sky was a moldy orange color and the entire area looked very unappealing to just be around. The ground was only a mile wide, possibly two long, after that it was just a drop off into the abyss below.

"W-where are we?" Echo asked.

"I dunno. I'm still here so the chance of us being dead is like 82%." Zapor answered.

"And there isn't anything else here...." Zak muttered.

"This is worse than that time I woke up stark naked in the middle of an all girls sorority." Saren grumbled.

"Oh..." Echo said, her facing turning bright red as she heard Saren say that. "Uh...anyways!" She looked around for something. "So, we're stuck on an island with nothing?"

"Not exactly..." Came a human woman who looked to be in her twenties. She had long brown hair, "You're just not looking in the right places."

"Um, who are you?" Lexi asked.

"...Wait, you woke up where?" Leo asked Saren.

"..... Kid, if we make it out of this mess I'll tell you the story." Saren told Leo.

"It's been a long time..." The woman said. "I think it was Mira, but I could be wrong. Anyways welcome to the land of slumber. The godfather likes to put his prey to sleep before killing them, and leaving their spirits here, you've got about 15 minutes, if your lucky."

"Well how do we get out?" Echo asked.

Mira sighed. "If you really want out, you only need to find the panel of runes and use those to get around. I might be able to pull one up here, but after that, you're on your own. I only have one request..."

"What request would that be beautiful~" Saren said in a flirty tone before he burst out into manic chuckling.

"I'll tell you once this is over." Mira said, and pulled a rune tablet out of the group. It showed five glowing lights, with one directly connected to a rune above it. There was another light in the center of the five, but it was not connected to any other light. "We're where the rune is." Mira explained. "Looks like the godfather found five people he's using as shields. You need to go to the lights and stop the person there. The shield is being tricked into giving energy, if you make them aware that they are in a dream, then you can break the shield."

"I doubt something as simple as hurting them will work, maybe a forced ejection via murder might help?" Saren muttered. Already planning on how he's going to accomplish his method.

"Wait, if we're in a dream, couldn't we control everything with our imaginations?" Leo asked.

"This is a dream that one guy forced us in. Since he made it, chances are that he is the one that controls the dream." Zak said.

"That won't work here." Mira said. "While in areas where the godfather has influence, your attacks will be useless. You'll have to talk them out of it. Once that person is aware of what's going on, the shield will break and they will have influence in that area."

"Well, there goes my idea.." Saren muttered.

"Ok. Is anyone good at public speaking?" Zapor asked

"Public speaking shouldn't be required..." Mira said. "Let me show you." She placed her hand on the pedestal and touched the closest light to the rune, which cause the group to be enveloped into a white orb of light, which disappeared later, revealed a beautiful castle town, with busy people all around.

Saren looked around. "What the heck did you do!?"

"Where are we?" Zapor asked, looking around.

"This reminds me of the time I got plastered and woke up to find out that I married a wooden effigy that looked like a female me... Good times.." Saren chuckled, leaving out many details but inwardly cringing at the memory.

"This is the location of the first shield." Mira said. "They are currently using the memory of the shield to make her believe she is somewhere else, in a much happier time for her it would seem. Though, I do not know anyone who could still be used now, but have memories from what looks like centuries ago."

"Weird..." Echo mumbled. "I...don't like this place." She looked around. "I feel like there is something being hidden here, something in this memory..."

"Whatever...." Saren said as he started to walk off. "If this is a dream then there should be some alcohol.. Meaning, I'm going to get drunk.."

"This reminds me of genjutsu..." Zapor muttered.

"Someone else...centuries ago.." Zak said.

"I don't get paid enough for this... Wonder who my next employer will be?" Saren muttered, not really talking to anyone.

"You." Came a voice behind Saren. "I know you. By order of Lord Discord, you are under sentence of Execution." The guard behind Saren drew her gleaming white sword and regal looking staff. "I am Fey the Arcanist of the Order of the Scythe, you will surrender or die."

"Oh no..." Mira muttered. "Well, we found the shield, but it looks like she wants to kill your friend."

"Attacks don't work here though, right?" Echo asked.

"Our's don't..." Mira told her. "I don't know about hers though, considering she is the shield, and she is under the influence of the godfather, it's quite possible."

"Fey?" Zapor said.

"Oh god... Is it just me or am I frequently the target of female rage?" Saren asked out loud. "Hey, Fey.. You realize that this is all some sort of whacked out dream right?"

"You will not trick me, assassin." Fey told him. "I know your weakness, and being a user of heavenly magic, I have a powerful supply of light at my disposal, you cannot stand against me. Even if you manage to get past me, we have guards posted all over, each with their own supply of powers, magic, and weapons designed to slaughter people like you. All of you." She turned to Zapor and his group. "Off with their heads, for conspiring with a wanted criminal."

"You must really suck as an enforcer of anything... Why the heck would I even associate with an eleven year old and his motley crew?... Besides, you may have heavenly magic.. But you don't know all my tricks.." Saren responded, trying to put on a show to disguise the fact that he's signalling zapor and his group to run.

"Which one is the eleven year old? The yellow abomination of life, or the orphaned and psychotic orange one? Maybe it's the psychotic one's brother, the blue marshmellow with the giant sword, or the girl who managed to kill five of my guards?" Fey glared and grabbed Saren. "You will not derail me from my objective, Saren Arcturias. This is where you die." She held her sword up to Saren's neck and prepared to cut it.

Echo immediatly drew a card with Saren on it."Saren Card, Blades of Darkness!" She said, and caused dark claws to attack Fey, knocking her down.

"Run dudes!....Wait, orange? I'm clearly red." Zapor said.

"Shut up and run dang it!" Saren shouted at Zapor as he bolted away from Fey.
