[i]Weisz, you asshole![/i] Jaina screamed in her head, [i]We're through, you hear me?! You're not dating me, ever![/i]

Now... To study Shinra's magic and moveset. She had an inkling that it was not easily copied, so best to turn to the spells the Vampires used, if any. Remembering her studies, she tried to see if these Vampires were the intelligent ones; if so, she had [i]plans[/i] for their forbidden knowledge, but only if she can get Shinra or Amaya to break those damned cuffs. So her next words were, [b]"Shinra, break my cuffs too - These guys might have information we want!"[/b]

Dust was in her hair but Jaina didn't care as she had a lot to study, a lot to find out, and she could not do that Shinra was taking them away from the battlefield. Thankfully, she had a solution to that - Namely breaking her cuffs on Shinra's shoulder with a loud smash, before shouting at the guy, [b]"Our friends are fighting against our foe and you're taking us away from them! Don't you understand that those guys are the ones we're supposed to go after in our mission? Let's help Amaya out; I have some Kulto Kalium Krusade ass to kick!"[/b]

Assuming - And it was a big assumption - That Shinra listened, Jaina squirmed away from the young man's grip and headed back towards 'Ballroom', hands glowing black-tinted gold as she prepared to attack the foe; normally, she'd use her Memory Archive to copy a few combat spells, but she had a theoretical use of her Memory God Slayer abilities that she wanted to test out, and with a grin, she shouted, [b]"Memory God Slayer Magic: Calm Reaction!"[/b]

She exerted her power, causing the Vampires to slowly lose their instinct for violence and willingness to use it. With a grin and a smile, she then asked the nearest one, [b]"Hey, hey, hey, mind telling me just what the Kulto Kalium Krusade is planning, please? While we're at it, throw in the location of your cult's libraries; I want to give Lukas a gift. In exchange... I believe that reducing the amount of death, of sapient beings, within reason is a good thing. So why don't I rub out your memories of the Kulto Kalium Krusade plus anything that turns you against Humanity so you guys can have a chance at life?"[/b]

It was a fair bargain, Jaina thought to herself as she readied her Memory Manipulation Vortex to extract and alter the Vampires' memories so that she could learn all that they knew, filter out the less useful stuff, and then find out where their libraries were for reasons she had explained already.

She wanted to know more, not just to add to her stores of spells, but also knowledge in general; her enemy was a strong foe with many forbidden secrets, a threat to Humanity, but intelligent and cunning and more than a little scholarly despite her disgust for their thesis and conclusions. So, Jaina Dalton indulged herself in scholarly inquiries - Best to know their secrets, their lore... And any plans they had to wreck this lovely seaside city where Humans and others can learn to face the ocean, its wonders, and its horrors.

As the Daughter of the Sea; like heck, she'd let the foe prey on those who respected it.

Unless ordered to stop, she'd unleash a Memory Manipulation Vortex, one that could only be resisted by willpower equal to her friends, and give these Vampires a new chance at life; a new chance to live and redeem themselves. She'll wonder about the ethical implications of doing so via magically-induced amnesia later...
