Eleven moaned under her breath, her eyelids sealed shut and her teeth clenched together tightly. She slowly moved her hand down to fractured hip, her fingers brushing against the metal that conected to her actual flesh. Eleven bit into her lower lip, transforming a single finger into a screwdriver. She fitted the thin blade of the screwdriver into the base of metal leg, shakily attempting to remove the bolt that kept her metal leg in place. Eleven drew in a deep breath, her hand slipping and her screwdriver-like finger scraped against her metallic leg. A small tube burst in Eleven's leg, the screwdriver had pierced it's thick plastic, causing a stream of oil to erupt from the broken tube. "Oh, great..." Eleven hissed angrily under her breath, slowly opening her eyes to see what damage she had done to her metal leg.

Natsume shrugged to Riko's question and smirked lightly when Riko had beheaded his dogman minion. "You don't show any mercy, now do you?" Natsume laughed as his bird went towards Riko's neck with it's razor like feathers hardened as it dived. Natsume's demonic bird shrieked terribly as it sped up, it's beak gleaming in the light. Kojack had gotten a silent signal from Natsume to mobilize. He was strong enough to lift James a good five feet off the ground, but his slow and heavy movements weren't as easily undetected as his tail was strong. Natsume followed Kojack, keeping an eye on Riko.

Skye could feel something from the prison in which he was kept. Skye doubted that his abilities would work under these circumstances. He needed to do something though, so from the little rectangular window, Skye sent a silent message on the wind. It only too seconds for his partner, Rioku, to come to him. "Follow these directions and help this girl. Something much more has gone terribly wrong." Skye said in a hushed breath so he was not to wake the others or rouse any suspicion from the guards. Rioku nodded lightly in response and dashed away as quickly as he had come, darting into the forest. He found a girl in the grass, sniffing around her. "Metal?..." Rioku said in his mother tongue as he looked the girl over, not daring to disturb her position until a movement was made.

She then removed the chains by making them metal string, and then added them to her crowbar, which she made into jewerly to not look so suspicious. But, rusty jewelry can be a little distracting to other people. Lotus just ignored that fact, and then opened the chest. She stood back. Then something came out of it, it was an animal. She didn't know what it was, but it was happy to be out. She then realized that it looked hungry, and didn't know what to give it. "What do you eat?" She asked, and then looked to the bottom of the chest. It had a gold key in it. She picked it up, and memorized it's looks so she could recreate it later if she had to. She then put the key in her pocket.

Eleven slowly propped herself up with one elbow, her gaze focused on the dark oil that was trickling out of the busted tube in her metal leg. She bit into her lower lip, turning back to unscrewing her metal leg from her hip, the oil splattering onto her hands and sticking to her skin. Eleven detached her metal leg from her hip, setting the oil-dripping leg beside her. She let out a deep sigh, gently rubbing her hip in small circles.

Riko ducked, though she felt the bird's claws scratch into her back as it had flown towards her. She flexed her arms a little, surprised when she couldn't move her left arm well. She reached out to her sword, her fingers closing around the grip as she sprung up ready for the next attack. Xaria looked up, deep pools of sea blue haziness sharpening as she stared at Natsume. This may be the troublemaker I'm looking for, she though with malice as she slowly stepped forward. Xaria glanced at Riko, the seemingly young girl prepared for battle. She was torn; help the girl, or her rider?

"Wait..." Wheezed Brythe, picking up his gilded dagger from behind his desk. Olah had faced the strange noise, narrowing her golden eyes as she tried to pinpoint the noise. She glanced questioningly at Brythe, who shrugged back with confusion. The tavern was, once again, lively with brawls. The young newcomer that had disturbed Olah was now arm-wrestling with one of the drunkards, sleeves rolled up and elbow on the crooked wooden table. The challenger grunted, hacking a cough as he tensed his muscles. Kuukai was, at this point, sweating with effort, cheering from the crowd pushing him on. The bartender tutted, continuing polishing the glasses from behind the counter.

Natsume's Bird Minion flew at Riko again, aiming to take a limb with it while it swooped. Meanwhile, Natsume and Kojack were making their get away. Natsume had plans for James, and wasn't going to let some failed angel gain something that it didn't need. "Kojack. Travel." Natsume said forcibly, jumping onto Kojack's back and sinking with him as Kojack began to dematerialize.

Ryzionad couldn't hear any banging anymore for some reason. Was it his imagination, or was it coming from somewhere else? "Grandfather, should I survey the perimeter?" He asked, readying himself for action with his dual blades mounted on his back. He narrowed his eyes and lowered into an agile form. The second Brythe give the word, Ryzionad would be out of here and outside, looking for the source of the suspisious sound.

(Oh and I updated Skye's appearance pictures.)

Eleven rolled onto her side, pulling her detached leg up beside her chest. "This hunk of scrap is always breaking down on me!" she grumbled angrily under her breath, punching her false leg with bitter fury. Eleven rolled onto her back, opening her eyes and gazing up at the sky boredly. She stretched out her arms, moving her one leg slightly.

Riko turned the face Natsume, running towards the trio with speed as they had began to disappear. James stretched out a hand towards the angel in a last attempt, his golden pocket watch falling out in the process. The chain flew through the air, golden links glinting in the sun as it fell with a oft thud on the grass. The boy's expression turned into a gasp as he realized he had dropped it. Riko dashed forwards, leaping forwards as she headed forwrads into the group. Xaria had jogged towards them, crouching over them on er hind legs as she reached out a claw to hold back Riko.

Brythe lowered his dagger, exhaling deeply. "Do as you wish, Ryzionad." He said, wiping the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. Olah sighed, standing up slowly from the rickety chair. "The tavern seems rowdy..." She muttered, quickly walking out of the office in a daze. Brythe began to stop her by standing up, but thought it too much effort. He collapsed in his chair, hacking a cough. "I'm getting old, Ryzionad..." He began, opening a drawer filled with gold coins.

Lotus left that place, because she didn't know what to do really. She just hoped the creature had eaten many of the things she had brought back for it. She then decided she would go back each day and feed it like it was her pet. She didn't know what the creature was, but it was most likely hungry. She then stepped out into town, and put the crowbar as a lock on the door, and made the key into a ring.

Eleven stared up at the sky intently, her dark eyes shimmering with deep thought. She rubbed her wounded hip, closing her eyes and letting out a deep sigh. "My client is going to be furious if I don't get back soon..." Eleven mumbled under her breath, picking up her detached leg. She slowly rose up to her foot, propping herself up with her detached leg. Eleven pushed her leg into the metal socket in her hip, snapping it into it's proper place. But, she fell back, having lost her balance.
