Feon's was still uncounciouse, tears were coming down her face as she was carried away. Her skin was still under the effect of the hardening enchantment though. Due to this her skin felt like sand paper to those who held her. One of the bandits was a bit shaken up after seeing his friend killed by her.

"Boss are you sure you wanna keep her? I mean she did just kill Joe." The bandit said motioning to his friend who was apparently named Joe.

Feon was mumbling something in her sleep about the last time she was kidnapped and even wiggling around, she was going to wake up soon and it wasn't going to be pretty when she woke up.

(there really isn't much I can do here)

The Cowboy, Heath tumbled, suddenly on the inside of one of the Freighter train's carriages. Hiryu also phased into the carriage, but as this action was intentional for him, he landed with a lot more control and grace. Heath sprang to his feet and glanced around nervously, touching himself, realising he was still alive, somehow. He then glanced about at his surroundings getting a bearing of where he actually was.

"We're on the train...?" he asked in calm disbelief to Hiryu. Hiryu didn't respond, simply recollecting himself into a fighting pose. Heath was curious about Hiryu for all but a second, before he realised... it didn't really matter to him. He drew a card with rapid speed. "Quick Draw!" he muttered, launching the card down the empty carriage at Hiryu. As Heath's hand twitched to grab a card, Hiryu charged back at the card-wielding mage and phased passed the mage enthused card with his vajra teleport as he was swinging out his foot in a roundhouse kick.

"Ouroboros!" Hiryu chanted, before pelting Heath with a magical projectile of his own. Heath was thrust back. A bead of sweat formed on his head as he started wheezing from having the wind blown out of him. But as he struggled for breath, Heath began to chuckle as opposed to fret.

"You know, at first, I thought you were trying to escape, or get me out of the way. But you're just stupid enough to think you might beat me!" said Heath mockingly. "Part'ner. You can't teleport out of a bad shuffle. You don't know just how nasty I deal'em!" Heath roared, his hands delved into his pocket and Hiryu adamantly rushed him, but instead of firing one or two cards, Heath reveal a miriad of cards, all fluttering with ethereal magic imbue in them, levitating in the air.

About 15 minutes after Feon was being carried away she finally woke up. They had tried to bound her hands but it seemed that they were rather bad with rope surprisingly. They seemed to be on a carriage. Once Feon was up her eyes went wild as she looked around with a crazy look on her eyes. Due to her hands being togeather though she was able to give herself a strengthening enchantment. It didn't take her long to break the ropes entirely, though they seemed to be a little loose anyways.

Feon grabbed the axeman's sholder and using his own weight against him she was able to make him face plant right into the floor. He got up a moment later with a smirk on his face. "I like them feisty." He said with a smile as he got his axe ready. At this point it was revealed that it wasn't just any axe as it turned from axe form into a rather large blade. This was a switch axe.

Feon looked up at the man her eyes still going wild. The carriage at this moment had come to a halt as Feon was able to jump out and the axe man followed behind rather quickly. Feon had already found her daggers and as quick as she could she put more enchantments on her body. "Fire enchantment!" Feon yelled as her daggers glowed red at this point with heat coming from them. Feon quickly slapped another skin hardening enchantment on herself again as the switch axe came right towards her again. She was able to block it with her arms due to the skin hardening.

The axeman was in shock when he saw his swing was blocked and Feon took this opportunity jump straight at the axe man knock the switch axe out of his hands. Feon's face went from concerned to sadistic now. "No! Please!" He yelled in terror as Feon plunged her daggers into his hands first, Feon didn't plan on killing him quickly. She was going to torture him. The merchant meanwhile watched in horror as Feon started to stab him multiple places none of them being fatal though.

Hiryu slid to a halt as immediately as his body would let him, but he was in the middle of the cloud of floating cards. They were revolving axially in place.

"Teleport through this," mocked Heath before snapping his right fingers. On his command the cards spread out in random direction, ricocheting off the sides of the trailer and back again at the others sides. Hiryu did try to phase through, but it was pointless. Hiryu couldn't track the path of the cards no matter where he moved to. The card motions didn't just cut at Hiryu, but marred him with the imbue magic on impact. By the end of the attack, the sliding hatch to the trailer was slightly ajar, after a few of the cards detached the lock and the speed of the train made a gust burst through the now open hatch. Hiryu was hunched over, barely classifiable as on his feet, with cards of red, blue and yellow prodding out of him, much like the merchant. He had a particularly bad cut on his shoulder, where the card did a through-and-through. Heath was standing opposite him, enough markless. "And you come from an official guild right? And yet... what an ametuer-" jibbed Heath before throwing a trio of cards at Hiryu's head.

...Luckily for Hiryu, out of the corner of his eye he could see through the ajar hatch that the train was on the bridge over the river. He jumped to the side, at the wall, phasing through on last time out of the train. On the train, Heath saw the flash of his cards hitting Hiryu, but the only thing still in front of him was a headband, smeared at one part with a splatter of blood. Heath caught the end of the band before it completely fell to the ground, curious at first, but then realised this was Hiryu's headband and the the mage must have teleported. He looked around, spotting the ajar hatch and swung it open to look out. The sudden swoosh of the door brought with it a great gust of wind as the train was still moving at full speed. Heath lost his hat as it took away from him and fluttered down into the river below. Through watching his hat, Heath noticed Hiryu falling behind it, rocketing like a meteor into the bed below. He raised an eyebrow as Hiryu crashed into the river, his hand clenching the headband and closing the hatch door with a sigh.

"Now to wait to get off this damn train..." he muttered.

Feon smiled as the axe man looked paniced as Feon lunged her hand right into his chest. She was able to do this thanks to the strength enchantment she was using. Feon sqeezed the man's heart untill he was finally dead. She stood up as one of the lower henchmen watched in terror. The henchman quickly ran for his life along with a few others. Even the merchant was afraid of Feon after seeing her go crazy and lose control.

Feon turned towards the merchant and walked towards him. Suddenly Feon was all calm and excited like she was before. "Now that he's gone let's get you out of here!" Feon said holding out a bloody hand to help him up. Feon had quite a few blood splatters but she didn't really care as thankfully her cloths has been previously enchanted to not get stains.

Feon started to head off after slapping a speed enchantment on herself and the merchant. Feon hadn't seen Hiryu in a while and was starting to get worried. After finding a safe place for the merchant she started to head out to look for him, she followed the train tracks hoping to find him sooner or later. At this point Feon's strength, skin, and weapon enhancement had worn off of her.

Once the freighter train finally made a stop on the other side of the bridge in a mining town, Heath burst out of the train and looked around. he had stuffed Hiryu's head band into his pocket. He began a walked towards the bridge and river. He pulled out a unique whistle and blew. It began to glow with an ethereal hue and an otherworldly melody came out the other end. At the originally robbery point, Heath's steed suddenly pointed it's ears up and then glanced in the direction of sound with animation it had not expressed up to this point. It immediately began to gallop, trailing alongside the tracks and onto the walkway underneath the train tracks. Heath eventually met his steed before the bridge, settling him with gentle strokes to the snout and letting him rest after galloping all the way to him. Heath led the horse back across the bridge, choosing to get on once they were clear of the overpath and away from the tracks. He was still a little riled after being teleported onto a speeding train so suddenly. Heath, while riding his steed, came across Feon heading in the opposite direction, surprised to see her both intact and alone.

"Bumping into you again can't mean anything good missy, unless you're just a ghost wandering the range for vengeance and retribution..." he mused out loud once he could assess who was in front of him.

Feon looked at the cowboy approaching her on a horse. "Yes I'm a ghost, and I'm just looking for my partner." Feon said acting sarcastic as she casually got out her daggers while slapping a hardening spell on herself.

Feon at this point was starting to use up too much of her magic by constantly reapplying these enchantments. "So, how do you want this to go? Are you going to just run away? Or do I have to kill you?" Feon asked casually as she rested a hand on her hip still with the dagger in it still. "I have to wonder if your partner was stronger than you, if that's true then you going to have a tough time taking me down." Feon added.

She was hoping that by acting tough this man may back down and just leave her to go find Hiryu. Feon was a bit tired now from running all over the place even after her little nap.

"Mighty cute lil lady. Funny to boot. It's funny cuz I was thinking to ask you the same question..." rebutted Heath, before pulling into his pocket and pulling out Hiryu's head band, letting it hang from his hand in all of its glory. He then smugly shrugged his shoulders and held up his hands. "Eh - no use cryin' over spilt milk. I'm fine to just call it even. I don't know what job the merchant paid you two lovebirds to do, but I know if you're stupid enough to still be around here with nothing to show for it... you have no clue what he's brought you into." Heath glanced at the band in his hand, nonplussed before placing it back in his pocket. "I thought the nomad was onto something when he put me on the train. Hell, maybe he did figure out- doesn't matter now..." Heath kick firmly at the rear of his saddle and his steed continued to trot. "Be careful missy. It's dangerous out here on the range... bandits all over the place." spoke Heath over his shoulder as he attempted to leave.

Feon looked at Heath and gave a rather sadistic smirk. "If he brought us into something that allows me to kill lots of enemies then I would say he got the right people. And bandit's are no issue, it's idiots who think they can take on me." Feon said to him as she started to walk away from Heath. She had seen the headband, but she knew that Hiryu was tough enough to not die so easily. And smart enough to know when to play dead.

Once Feon was far enough away from Heath she started to look for Hiryu. She was actually a bit mad at Hiryu for giving up so quickly, and chances were the moment she saw him there would be a slap to the face atleast, if he found a way to anger her further there would most likely be a kick to the balls as well.

Heath directed his steed towards the bandit hideout. He was surprised to return to their proving grounds to see it in such a state. He began by just taking in the destruction and pandemonium that obviously took place. Soon enough, Heath began searching and scouring for what he came for. If he could locate it at the very least this operation would be salvageable. There was a lot of product on the merchant's wagon. Seeing as he couldn't get a whiff of anything quickly, Heath deduced that it was no longer here. While searching around, Heath realised he wasn't alone. He looked to the makeshift throne the bandit leader poised for himself. Sure enough Hiryu was sitting there, poorly bandaged, damp, red stains smearing his clothes and even breathing heavily.

"Now... you must be a ghost come back to haunt me," jeered Heath, turning to Hiryu with his cocky smile and making a saunter. Hiryu sat up with a large sigh, but said nothing. Heath glance around again at the scene. "You did this?" Heath asked, pointing at the dead, bloody bodies and trashed affairs. Hiryu shook his head. "Well... even if you did, I can't I'd even care enough to do something about it. The thing on the train... you just pissed me off by hijacking me onto that train," explained Heath turning to leave the cave, immediately thinking back to Feon and assuming she knew where to find his product.

"...You won't find the Lacrima," interjected Hiryu. His words sent a chill down Heath's spine. His expression switched to that of someone who had actually just seen a ghost. Heath thought for a moment, and turned back to Hiryu with a smile.

"If I don't get back the Lacrima, you won't get back the girl," replied Heath, remembering that the two had yet to meet.

"You don't have her." replied Hiryu confidently. Heath gritted his teeth.

"And how do I know you have the lacrima?"

"...You don't," replied Hiryu with a shrug. Heath, finding Hiryu coyness irritating now, took three bold steps towards Hiryu and pulled out Hiryu's head band.

"I already left you for dead falling hundreds of feet to your doom!" replied Heath, his tone much more forceful now than ever before. Hiryu leaned forward a little more, reaching for something behind his back, pulling out Heath's cowboy hat, also similarly wet.

"You did..." replied Hiryu. Heath gasped softly, but then laughed at the scenario of them both holding each others head gear.

"Ignoring all the other stuff for now, I bet you I'll get my hat back before you do, partner." Heath gested, dropping Hiryu's headband to the floor and walking forward. He drew a deck from his breast pocket and began shuffling them with immaculate dexterity. Hiryu threw Heath's hat down in front of himself and stood up, walking passed it. He began rotating his arm at the shoulder joint, stretching.

"...You wont." before the two of them engaged once again.

Feon turned after Heath was far enough away and had started to follow him. After awhile she saw Heath go into a building and start searching. She saw Hiryu there as well and decided to stay quiet while the two talked. Feon was a bit disappointing that Hiryu had taken out the bandits without her. I really need to invest in some communication tools. Feon thought to herself, she figured that it would make things far easier in future missions if she did.

Once the two started their fight Feon got out her daggers and started to run towards Hiryu at full speed. She had a speed and increased healing enchantment ready as she ran at him. Feon slapped the two enchantments onto Hiryu figuring he would have the most use of them. At this point though Feon could only use three more enchantments before she was out of the day. She had her dagger out and still had her skin hardening spell active along with her own speed enchantment.

Cinia and Linia gave a sigh when the girl started to talk normally again. "Sorry about that, we have had some bad experiences with people who acted like that, especially back on the island." Linia said taking the lead like she always did, even though Linia was the younger of the two she always seemed to take the lead when needed. "Anyway's I'm Cinia." Cinia introduced herself, and Linia joined shortly aftwards. "I'm Linia." She said with a smile. The two of them really were twins from how much they relied on each other.

Yuni sighed "looking at you two makes me wonder if i had someone like that... i just can't remember anything about my past... all i know is that i had a spellbook when i woke up..." she thought to herself "i need to get my bag again... ray always carries it with him for me speaking of which he should be here any second now" as she finished saying that a wolf jumps into the guild along with a bear slowly going down the stairs "Ray! oh you brought him with you too good boy!" she proceeded to pet the wolf in question and took the bag from him "i always got some spare clothes in my bag so give me a moment while i get changed now" she quickly put on the clothes that were in her bag "so what now?"
