Natsume, Kojack and James had sunken into the ground and were off. In no time, there were in the warehouse, leaving Natsume's demonic bird to take care of Riko and Xaria. Natsume nodded to Kojack, and without hesitation, he let go, laying down in the darkness and breathing hard. "So, you're a dragon rider, hmm?" Natsume's voice had changed to a deep an menacing one that would easily be seen for a sophisticated negotiator and his eyes had acquired multiple extra colours that swirled together. Meanwhile, back at the park, Natsume's minion was charging at Xaria this time, it's beak gleaming from it's own divine light. A terrible sound came from it's wings that could make a human's ears bleed and a dog's ears explode.

Ryzionad nodded. "Just relax Grandfather." He said before he turned on his heels and dashed out into the alleyway. He spotted a girl who had just been at the doors not far from the tavern. He found it strange since he never noticed a door there before. Cautiously, Ryzionad drew his dual blades and held them at his side as he called out to the girl who was stepping out og the alley and into the streets of town. "Halt! What were you going here?!" He called, showing his athority and threat level through his stance. He was ready to fight if he needed to.

(Ahem... This paragraph is supposed to refer to Eleven ^_^")
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.

(Oops...
*facepalm*
Meh feels so stupid...)

Letting out a moan, Eleven clutching her injured leg. She opened her eyes and then slowly turned her head round, hearing a faint sound of footsteps. Eleven's eyes widened and she drew in a deep breath, biting into her lower lip deeply. "What the heck are you?..." she murmured softly under her breath, her eyes locked on Rioku. Eleven slowly propped herself up with her elbow, her eyes narrowing.

Rioku didn't say anything, but this girl seemed terribly injured and Skye did send him to help, so that is what he intended to do. Without taking the consent, RIoku tried his best to get this girl onto his back and get her to Skye's cabin, deeper in the forest. It would be hard to help her though, since he didn't have thumbs and Skye was in jail. "Half machinery and half Human. What else is to become of this world. Strange..." Rioku said, not expecting the girl to understand his words. She was unexpectantly heavy for her size, but Rioku had an order to carry out. And so he shall.

Eleven attempted to scoot away from Rioku, but her fractured hip provided it a challenge and she found that she couldn't move. "Keep away, fiddo." she hissed, her eyes narrowing with fear. Eleven sneered slightly, a corner of her lip pulling back in a snarl.

Rioku didn't obey and was able to get her on with more ease because of her struggling. As the crystal around his neck shone, he parted his powerful jaws and spoke in a dark, demonic sounding voice. "Be still. I only wish to help you. Those were my orders." Rioku lashed his tail back and forth quietly, his white fur rustling. He was sure that he was chilling the air around him just slightly, since he was partly dead, but it wouldn't be a problem for now, would it? He did retain some heat at the least. Rioku was on his way through a flattened, narrow and natural forest path. It was a good tg he was slightly larger than the average wolf, or the extra weight of the metal would have crushed him.

Eleven frowned, but she gave into the large wolf's wishes, clenching onto Rioku's thick fur. "Who ordered that?" she asked in a hushed voice, tilting her head slightly. Eleven drew in a deep breath, watching the passing scenery as Rioku ran, her long brunette hair whipping behind her as the wind Orishas past her face.

Rioku didn't answer and only continued to run along that narrow path with ease. It was like he was running on wind rather than along a rocky forest path that was cluttered with rubble and debris. Soon, they had come to a quaint little cabin that was only a story high that sat on the other side of a little pond with a stream running from it. Rioku hadn't stopped moving under he got inside and her set the girl on the fluffy sofa in the center of the room. With Skye in jail, what was Rioku supposed to do? He didn't know what this girl was, so how is he supposed to know how to help?

Eleven winced slightly when she hit landed on the couch, rolling onto her side and turning her back to Rioku. She clutched her metal leg, pushing it out of it's socket and detaching it from her hip. Eleven pushed herself up on the couch, resting her back against the arm of the couch. She turned her head, glaring at Rioku slightly; she was confused and the wolf's lack of explanation didn't help her clear up the matter at all. Eleven looked back down at her detached leg, wondering if she was insane for trying to have a conversation with a wolf. She pressed a small red button on her left wrist, transforming her fingers into screwdrivers.

[Pockyy]

Riko snarled, turning to face the dragon as she lashed out her sword. Xaria roared into the fallen angel's face, dropping her quickly as she turned to face Natsume's bird minion. The sapphire blue dragon snapped at the bird, hoping her aim was accurate. Riko scrabbled at the ground desperately, picking up the golden pocket watch. She stood staring at it in disbelief, before enclosing the watch in her palm. She turned, blood red eyes narrowed as she leaped into the air, sword drawn and pocket watch swinging from her belt.

James frowned, rubbing his wrist where Kojack had left a red mark. He glared at Natsume through the darkness with venom. "I won't tell you anything; I shout and there will be people running here." He said it through gritted teeth, though the last part seemed almost smug and anxious. Who would, really, find him here?

Olah watched as Kuukai beat the drunkard in the arm wrestle, a shower of golden coins falling into outstretched pockets. As soon as the regulars saw Olah, they returned quickly to their seats, muttering in hushed voices. The tavern was deadly silent, the only squeaks from the bartender. Olah slowly walked towards Kuukai, golden eyes narrowing. "You seem awfully strong for a human." She said simply, chuckling a laugh as she leaned over his shoulder. The onlookers glared hungrily at them, hoping for something a little more eventful. Kuukai quietly laughed, looking at Olah with a smug expression, "What are you implying?" The words cut through the tense atmosphere, making it even tenser. The vampire laughed loudly, a melodic laugh with ringing notes. Suddenly, she had stopped quickly, fangs bared at his face. The young man did not waver, instead just shrugged it off like a normal event.

[~Lotus~]

Lotus decided to try to go home. She didn't know where home was though. She just wandered around all the time. She did have an address, but finding her there would be very rare. Lotus wandered the paths, wondering about what other secrets this town could hold. She wondered about the other people, and their powers, and she wondered about those who ran the city, and how they were running it. She didn't like thinking to hard about things, but this was a tine where she had to, for there was nothing else to do. Lotus got bored easily.
