[IC] Master Of The Puppets

"There was a giant three headed dog roaming around and attacking the city. You didn't hear or notice it?" Dante asked.

"Yep. Hey she's over here!" Riku yelled to Sylvia as he pointed to Elsa. Delsin just facepalmmed at his master.

"I see, thank you Jacob and Jeff." Gene sai before looking at the rest of his crew. "Don't worry. Once I come into power you all will get what you most desire."

[Dark Elsa]

"Riku!"Sylvia called as she walked over to him with Ruby. "Elsa is here..." Ruby said happily. Elsa walked up to her master. "I am sorry. I should not have walked off like I did .."

Sylvia waved it off. "I understand but please do not leave my side without at least Ruby with you. I have some news. I have another book back at my place. Elsa do you want me to try and summon your sister?" She felt if she got Anna here if she could Elsa would be more at ease.

Elsa smiled. "That would be nice.."

Ruby watched the others glad all was well for the moment. Anita heard Genes words and grinned once more.

"Nah just got of school had detention today lucky me right" Alexander said to Dante. What Alexander didn't say was that he had detention due to a fight he got in that got a little bloody.

"No problem boss you should have seen the look on his face when he saw Jeff swing that knife and i'm pretty sure you know what happened after some blood was spilled" Jacob said moving over the where Jeff was sitting revealing that his hands, arms, and his black shirt were covered in blood.

Watching Ruby and Sylvia leave, Twisted Fate tilted his hat and activated his ultimate ability, Destiny, to prepare to gate back home, creating what could only be described as a flaming round hole above everyone's heads, signifying that Twisted Fate could see their fate at the moment. However, as he did, he caught a glimpse of something in the futures he saw.

"Oh, by the way," he said to Sylvia, "have your ice puppet be wary of a corrupted blue hedgehog."

He wanted to warn her about her other bad event in her future too, but he only had a five second span in order to gate and had to do so at that moment. And with that, with a circle of cards, he was gone.

[Dark Elsa]

"Corrupt blue hedgehog? " Sylvia asked TF. But she relayed his words to Elsa. Elsa flinched but Ruby looked at her. "I'll protect you Elsa..." Elsa calmed a bit.

Anita looked at Jeff. "Messy..." She said.

[VileSnake]

"A corrupted blue hedgehog?" Riku then asked. His eyes widen as he knew who this corrupted blue hedgehog was. "Oh no......who would want to summon him here?" Riku then spoke again.

"You know what it is?" Delsin asked.

"Yeah, the character is based off a creepypasta, Sonic.exe. It's basically like a demon version of Sonic."

"Demon? Sounds like a job for me." Dante said. What they didn't know was that the corrupted hedgehog was keeping an eye on them, from a distance of course.

"Make sure you clean yourself up." Gene said to Jeff.

[LaXnyd]

On the rooftop of the apartment Kieran was staying in, Twisted Fate reappeared. There, he immediately made his way to a table where a man in traditional Chinese clothing and a bow on his back had set up a blanket and umbrella, having made an extravagant, lavish spot for what was essentially a sniping hole.

"We've got a bit of a problem." Twisted Fate said to the main, the Archer Servant Houyi. "Blue hedgehog. Crazy one."

Houyi nodded as he put his teacup down. As an archer servant, he should be able to provide support to anywhere in the city from this height. "Let me know with your ability." Houyi said to the League Champion.

"Don't use your noble phantasm. It will cause too much damage." Twisted Fate said. "And there are friendly people there."

"I can't use it anyways.' Houyi said with a pained smile as he drew back and arrow and headed to the edge of the rooftop. "Kieran told me not to use it without permission."

[Spartan2961]

"Perhaps we should search for him. For all we know he could be nearby." Kurama stated of course not knowing who Sonic exe. was.

"Kurama might be on to something. We know he's not there somewhere but we don't know where he is." Alexander said pretty much stating the obvious.

Jeff looked at Gene with a look that said 'If I wasn't under Jacob's command i'd kill you' but of course it wasn't unusual for Jeff to do this.

"Don't worry he'll get cleaned up before the next job....... Speaking of which do you have anything for us to do sir?" Jacob said to Gene turning serious as this was a serious time.

[Dark Elsa]

Sylvia shuttered. " I saw the fangame...brutal but we should search. I don't want Elsa to come to harm.." She said seriously. Ruby began to scout around zipping around the area just incase that monster was around. Elsa hid behind Sylvia not wanting to die..She had a kingdom back in her world she needed to return to..

[Spartan2961]

"Alright in that case Chu I want you to search around as well Kurama I need you with me in case we run into trouble" Alexander said to his two puppets giving them their orders.

"Right on it mate" Chu said taking off in search of Sonic exe.

"As you wish" was Kurama's answer understanding why Alexander wanted him to stay by his side.

[VileSnake]

"Not at the moment Jacob. I have Sonic.exe taking care of some business." Gene replied with.

"I'll check the rooftops." Delsin said as he turned into smoke and going through a vent that lead to the rooftops.

"He's not going to be easy to find. You know, with him teleporting and disappearing and stuff. Plus he as fast as normal Sonic." Riku said.

"Well, if we can't get to him, you know he'll get to her. Why not set up an ambush in case that does happen." Dante suggested.

[Dark Elsa]

Ruby listened. "He uses speed..." She demonstrated her Semblance. "I have this...leave the ambushing to me.." She said confidently but Sylvia gave her a look that was in consern of her safety. "No Ruby...He would easily kill you.."

Ruby looked disappointed but understood. "Fine.."

Elsa thought. "Sylvia you could. .."

"Try to summon a backup..ohh..." She took out her book. "Might work but I need time.."

[Spartan2961]

"Hmm an ambush would be good but there is the problem of his speed and teleporting i'm assuming he has based on what Riku just said. Plus an ambush if done improperly could leave some of us just far away enough for him to kill whoever it is he's after. I suggest we stay with Elsa, Ruby, and Sylvia until whatever it is decides to show it's face so have a better chance of killing it" Kurama telepathically told the group in case Sonic exe. was in the area.

"That might be a bad idea" Alexander said acting as if he had said it about the ambush plan. Alexander knew the story of Sonic exe but that was all he knew on the subject.

---

"Alright then just let us know if something comes up Jeff and I would be glad to assist" Jacob said remembering back to when he first met Gene. The memory made him shutter a little as it made him remember back to when he well 'dealt' with his father.

[Dark Elsa]

Ruby and Sylvia listened to Kurama. "If you want to.." Sylvia replied. Ruby looked a bit worried that even with protection they would still be attacked.

Elsa nodded.

[Spartan2961]

"I believe it to be our best chance in all honesty" Kurama said though he knew that this plan was also risky being that they would be easier to spot and attacked.

[VileSnake]

Delsin searched around the rooftops of the city but came up empty handed. "Damn it. Either this thing is so fast that he's invisible or he has a really good hiding place." With no luck he decided to head back towards Riku and the others.

"That would work. I also have something that might help us with our ambush plan." Riku said.

".......And that's, what?" Dante asked.

"Well, my dad's works for the military. He makes weapons and other things to help the soldiers. He created a stealth camo pack and actually sent me one. I think you should it Dante. Out of everyone here you're probably that could go toe to toe with Sonic.exe."

"Or......why not give it to the ice lady?" Dante suggested. "If he can't see her he can't kill her."

".....Oh yeah. I didn't think of that." Riku laughed nervously a little bit. "Still it's only a prototype meaning it may not work or it may short out."

[LaXnyd]

A Clairvoyance skill of C. A Four kilometre Eyesight. By all means, his eyesight could not be described in human terms, for human terms were limited by their imagination of "perfect" 20/20 eyesight, something which Houyi easily exceeded.

Twisted Fate tilted his hat again, the telltale flaming symbol above many people's heads. However, one head in particular caught Twisted Fate's attention.

"...there." Twisted Fate muttered. "I see him." Describing the location he saw Sonic.EXE spy on Sylvia, Riku and the others, as well as their puppets, Houyi sought that location with the aid of his clairvoyance skill and took aim before releasing his arrow.

It was by no means a noble phantasm, but it was still a C strength arrow. It should cause an explosion harder than a tank shell - more than enough to at least distract the crazy hedgehog.

[Dark Elsa]

Sylvia looked at Elsa for confirmation what Riku suggested was alright. Elsa met her eye giving her a sign for yes she would do anything to protect herself if her powers were not going to cooperate then this would be the best option.

"Elsa agrees.." Sylvia said. "But the whole prototype could be a risk." She then sat down opening her book to prepare for a summons.

Ruby cautiously scanned the place once more.

[Spartan2961]

Of course as it had done for the others Chu was turning empty handed as well. Even with his speed it seemed Sonic exe. was still nowhere in sight. "Feels like i'm tryin to find a needle in a haystack" he said frustrated as he still searched.

"That could work still I think we need at least say Dante or Kurama near her in case she gets discovered so they can help defend along side Ruby and Elsa. God knows if shit goes down they'll need all of the firepower they can get" Alexander said naming who he considered to be the two toughest puppets between him and Riku,

[Dark Elsa]

Sylvia nodded. "I agree. We cannot let our guard down." She opened her book."I'll need someone to cover for me."
