[IC] Fairy Tail: We Are Family

[Jollan]

Dremmick walked over to Cilia and offered his hand to help her up. "Is it just me, or was he trying not to kill us," he said addressing the group. He looked between her and Inigo for a moment. "And it didn't seem he had any memory of you two, which is odd."

[booksmusicanime]

Cilia took his hand. "Before he knocked me out he asked who I was."

Guy rubbed his head in anger as he now had a sense of his foe's strength. "I'll rip him in half"

[booksmusicanime]

"Guy calm down." Ashkii said putting her hand on his shoulder. "We may know his strength and how he fights now but we need a plan. He'll easily take us all down if we don't have a plan" She said looking at the rest of the group.

[Jollan]

"Um...Guy? You're bleeding a little bit. And by the looks of it he could have killed you." Dremmick said as he looked over the wounds, his eyebrows raised in a worried gesture. "Any deeper and you would have a slit throat and a stab wound in your side." He stuck to small patches with 'incantations' on them over the wounds and closed his eyes. When he finished his healing process he removed the patches and burned them.

He looked over to CIlia, "So I guess its confirmed now that he can't remember you, but it would seem like there is something that is still there." He thought about that for a moment, "You don't think his memories are sealed do you?"

Ander left the guild hall's and went to a place that was familiar to him. Though he didn't know why, he just knew he had been here before. Although he didn't know it, it was where Cilia lived. He climbed to the top of the building and sat there, thinking. It was strange. He knew of this town, and that he had been here on missions before, but other than that, he had no memories of this place. However, it was somewhat unimportant. He had a mission to do and if he failed his sister would die in his place for no reason, and he wouldn't be able to bear that guilt. He pulled out a breadstick and placed it in his mouth, he didn't know why, but it always seemed to help him think.

[ShadowVentus]

"I agree with Ashkii. "We're going to need some sort of strategy to take him out. That, or jog his memory to avoid any further conflict...hmm...what would father do..." Morgan mutters those last words to herself.

"What a shame...I was only just getting warmed up.." Inigo states as his katana dematerializes. He walks over to the others, wincing very slightly with each movement due to his previous injuries. Overhearing the fact that Ander could not remember Cilia, Inigo decided to speak up as well. "I must say that he didn't seem to recognize me either, but he gave me a look that indicated otherwise..." He says. Overhearing Morgan, Inigo faintly smiles.

Leon moves from his vantage point on the roof to the ground below, landing right next to Morgan and Inigo. He glances at the two of them, seeing that Morgan is in deep thought while Inigo has a fiery glint of passion in his eyes. 'They're both just like their parents...caring, but very tactical when called for...' Leon thinks.

"I don't know." Cilia mumbled. "I'l go hunt him down. He didn't want to hurt me today and I think if I show that I don't want to cause any trouble I may be able to talk to him." She said to Dremmick.

[ShadowVentus]

"Allow me to go with you. I know you're very capable of doing this on your own, but I just don't trust Ander enough to be able to say that he currently has all of his marbles intact." Inigo states, giving Cilia a slightly concerned look.

[booksmusicanime]

"Fine but only attack if he tries to attack me." Cilia said looking at Inigo

[ShadowVentus]

"You've got yourself a deal." Inigo says, looking back at Cilia with a grateful smile on his face.

[booksmusicanime]

Cilia nodded.

[Jollan]

"We could try attacking him after a fight," Dremmick suggested. "Whether it will do much im not sure, but it's still worth a shot. While we were fighting, I noticed a recon team watching the fight. They left to report in, i bet, so a task force could be here within a day. If you want to talk with him, I would do it before that. If you plan on fighting him, I'd let the task force wear him down. Unfortunately, I will have to accompany the task force, so I won't be able to help you as much by then."

Ander rested on the high rooftop that overlooked the square and the rest of the town. He had his crystal out in regular form, only there was only half of the crystal. It was split down the middle lengthwise, missing it's other half. "Three days left, Terra....I have to make a move before its too late."

[booksmusicanime]

"if you can do anything to keep them from attacking Ander whilst I'm talking to him then that will be helpful." Cilia said

[Jollan]

"I will try my best. I do appologize for any inconveniences I may have caused you." dremmick started with a slight bow. "For now I must head back to the local HQ. They will want some sort of report and I have to figure out how I'm going to tell them I came back empty handed again," he finished with a smirk on his face.

He threw out his rope dart and it rapped around a pole. he used the leverage to yank himself up to the roof in one pull. When he landed he turned back around to Cilia. "Be careful though, if something were to happen happen, I'm not sure how long I will be able to slow them down." Dremmick then disappeared in the shadows.

Elsewhere:

"Sir, we have reports in saying that the target has come in contact individuals expunged from his past." The messenger released his salute and stayed at attention.

"Understood," A man cloaked in shadow acknowledged, "tell the troops in the area to be on their guard. should he renew his memory and gain allies, this situation could become a lot more hazardous."

Dremmick was in the main hall where this short conversation took place. he had just been demoted, taken off the case to find Ander, and was on his way out the door when the messenger ran in for his report. Dremmick found himself a place to hide and waited for the man's departure. When the messenger left, Dremmick silently followed him.

"Let's go Inigo. Everyone don't destory anything." Cilia said as she sprinted off towards her home. She still had the tracing beads linked to Ander so she could see where he went.

[ShadowVentus]

Inigo followed after Cilia, keeping a even pace with her as they both ran towards their objective. Slowly, but surely, the path began to look familiar to him, causing him to say with curiosity, "Why would he go there, of all places?" He glanced over at Cilia as he spoke, looking to see if she had any answers toward his question.

[booksmusicanime]

"He probably finds it familiar. He know's the place he just can't remember." Cilia said as she walked.

[ShadowVentus]

"I see...I just wonder how long his memories will stay sealed like this..." Inigo states as he walks side by side with her, now simply enjoying his time alone with Cilia for what it's worth.

[booksmusicanime]

"Until we can find a way to unlock them." Cilia said as she took Inigo's hand.

[ShadowVentus]

Inigo squeezed Cilia's hand lightly as he smiled. "Sadly, I don't possess the key to that lock.." He stated as they continued walking.
