[color=00a651]"Rocket Lancer?!"[/color]

Arms Slave was pleasantly surprised to see his old friend here. Honestly these past few days have been rather hectic, so Arms Slave wasn't able to keep up with all his contacts. He lanced right into Arms Slave's chain and sent him and Eclipse Princess rocketing right towards each other. Admittedly this was not what he had planned, but Arms Slave would adapt. That was the Sweeper's way after all. As he came closer and closer to Eclipse Princess, he spent the few seconds to call her out. [color=00a651]"You know nothing, Eris!"[/color]

If Arms Slave wasn't wearing a helmet, Eris would see his smile. While she might be able to move her sword arm, Arms Slave's chains didn't break. Rocket Lancer wasn't stopped. He wasn't even hurt; and that was because Arms Slave was protecting him, his Aura of Agony ensuring that the only person being hurt was Arms Slave. Not his allies, not his weapons, just the avatar himself. He was taking heavy damage and already lost half his health from one attack, but that didn't phase him. [color=00a651]"All you know is how to kill! You don't know how to protect anyone, not yourself, not Cassandra, no one!"[/color] As his body was about to get hit by Eclipse Princess's swords, his Readied Mind was able to see her path of attack, and he readied his daggers. He knew that this weapon wasn't going to be strong enough to block her blow, and that if she had a clean hit it would break his weapon and just continue through him. But that's why it was called a [i]parry[/i] dagger. Instead of blocking the attack, Arms Slave maneuvered the dagger to redirect the strike to overshoot him as his body crashed into Eclipse Princess.

At the same time Arms Slave's last hand shot out it's final chain. Because of the gravity field it wasn't able to go far, but now it didn't. The chain simply crawled out of Arms Slave's wrist and would soon start to wrap both him and Eclipse Princess up. The other chains did the same, tightening around Princess as they started to bind her and Arms Slave together. Before the chains could engulf him, Arms Slave shouted out to Rocket Lancer. [color=00a651]"Lancer! Drag us to hell, together!"[/color]

And Rocket Lancer would have to be fast. Arms Slave tried to parry the attack, but when his dagger just made contact with Eclipse Princess's blade, it broke. If it was just a regular strike Arms Slave would have parried the strike and give himself an opening to stab Eclipse Princess. But instead the blade shattered and failed to stop the blade as it plunged into his body. He could feel his life draining from the wound, and he tried to hold on for as long as he could. With his final moments he looked at Eclipse Princess in the eyes, seething with anger. [color=00a651]"You should just leave and never come back. No one wants you. You'll only bring suffering."[/color] 

Soon Rocket Lancer would feel the chains fall as Arms Slave's corpse was left tied up to Eclipse Princess. Short of someone stopping by to resurrect him, he was dead.

Retsu flinched. Yoshino called Arms Slave her brother, which made the red head glare at Yoshino. [color=#cd2626]"He... Do not call him that. I have nothing to do with him."[/color] Retsu certainly wasn't going to admit having some sort of familiar relationship with Arms Slave or Asahi. So far he's been nothing but an embarrassment to her. Always causing problems, practically interfering with her work because of his antics. He had to, of all people, fall for Yoshino's cousin. Retsu hoped that he didn't try to press his advances or worse, go for Yoshino's half-sister. One of the few times Retsu hoped that Chiyo would continue to be a bitch and deny him if he ever thought to ask her out. Retsu made a mental note to keep track of Chiyo as well.

As the two girls continued home, they stopped by a bus station. The new apartment could have been reached on bike, but Retsu left her bike at her old dorm. She still needed to move it, and the rest of Retsu's stuff, to her new dorm. Eventually the bus arrived and the two girls would have to take it if they didn't want to take too long to get home. But while on the bus, Retsu whispered to Yoshino. [color=#cd2626]"Perhaps it would be best if you checked up on the situation, Tsugumi-san. It'll be a few minutes before our stop. More than long enough for you to do what you need to do."[/color] At this point Retsu was quite aware Yoshino was the Black King, and she figured that Yoshino also knew that Retsu knew. Even if she didn't, Retsu wasn't going to make a fuss about it. Meanwhile, she responded to Broker of Fortune. If they were going to meet in person, then Retsu may as well kill two birds with one blow: She'll meet the Broker at the club.
