Niv looked over to see that this monster is the same as on the card Crimson held, but then again, this wasn't that all surprising. Niv fought alongside his other friends against some demonic mushroom, and this wasn't that off for the arms dealer to see. "Sure, I'll keep my word and keep that a secret. I guess I could show you this then..." Niv considered it, and thought it would be alright to show this newcomer a certain trait that Niv didn't like others to know about. Rolling up his jacket sleeve, there were countless but faint markings of scars scattered about on his arm's skin. Taking out a small butterfly knife, Niv stabbed the small knife into his arm, flinching a bit in pain as several drops of blood dripped from his newly opened wound. However, it were only a few seconds, and suddenly the cut wound began to steam and automatically repaired the wound entirely, but leaving a new faint scar. "Apparently when I get wounded in any way, I instantly regenerate the wound back to normal, but it leaves a permanent scar there. Sometimes by doing that to myself, I get a boost of power, but I can't handle too many at a single time," Niv explains his strange "sealing" ability, putting the butterfly knife back into his jacket as well as pulling his sleeve over his scar covered arm.

When Niv had pulled out the butterfly knife Wulf had started to move in front of Crimson expecting an attack. Crimson however put his hand on Wulf's shoulder making the beast stop dead in it's tracks. "Calm down Wulf see he's friendly" Crimson said watching the whole regeneration trick. ".......Wow bet that's handy in combat" he said taking his hand off of Wulf who was now next to Crimson rather than behind him.

Charles followed Erika till he saw her at a old church. The faceless detective watched her talk to some girl. He took a few pictures. He sat the church looked sealed. The detective decided to reveal himself. "Interesting friend you have." He said "Tell me....what do you have to gain in all this? if the burnt man your friend?"
Freddy smirked and pixed his hat. He slowly walked out of the alley "Well better get back to what I do best.." He whispered

Erika turns around to see Charles, and says with a smile,"I'm just doing what I do best for my Master before I am not needed anymore. It's all a part of a game. Even if you know now, **I, the detective, cannot be the culprit, it contradicts Knox's 7th. The detective cannot be the culprit.** Now that I've said that in the Red Truth, it has to be true. I suppose that I'll be off. I do have some time before I am called back to oblivion by the Witch of Miracles." As she spoke those words with the Red Truth, those words physically manifested next to her in the color of red. Soon, Erika began to walk away once again, but this time, there was a twisted smile on her face. As if she had done good progress for Bernkastel.

"The only downside is that it doesn't work when I'm hit by anything magical," Niv shrugged, remembering that all of the people that had defeated him in a MBR had used magic,"By the way, I can take you to where the rest of the group is. Hopefully they didn't decide to move onwards without me, I did sneak away without saying anything." He then offers to take him to where his group was, knowing that they were still at the site of the burnt down building.

Lina was about to chant another spell when she saw Yokuman was retreating along with that other shady character. "Cowards! Get back here!" She said. Hearing what Megaman said she ducked for cover behind some part of the ruined building. "I hope you can shoot them fast. They are getting away.." She said.

Yang sighed. "I think I need a drink. Anyone know a good bar?" She asked Charles. "By the way anyone see a red caped girl"

Lina then noticed Megaman's shot was not aimed at her and came out of hiding as she created a brief barrier that would block most of the minions shots. She also casted some fireballs.

"Uh, sure it might be a better idea to be with a group anyways since there are these 'murders' you pointed out eariler" Crimson said to Niv. Crimson himself didn't like groups for fear of going berserk while with them. In this situation however he thought it would be a better idea to be in a group than lone wolfing it.

About five minutes after Ketlin had spoke, he couldn't take the silence.

~BGM~

The absence of life or action around him was unbearable! How was a robot like him supposed to have fun when there was no one around?! It was a maddening concept for a city of this size to have no one else in it. Or, that was his perspective as he was on the opposite side of the city where NO action was relevant. The robot stopped walking, and slammed his hands against the sides of his top-like head.

H-He had to have gone insane. "A city full of nothing? That's crazy! Where's the people?" Ketlin fell back on his bottom, shaking his head a bit hysterically. It had been approximately thirty minutes since he had talked to someone, which to him seemed like an eternity. "Without people... how am I supposed to party? If there isn't anyone around, how am I going to spark some cooky adventure-" The iris in Ketlin's single eye suddenly grew smaller in surprise. Oh COURSE! How could have been so blind?

Ketlin popped open the cap on the top of his head and began to search for something. He pulled out what appeared to be a cartoonish looking, spherical bomb, with a happy little cat face drawn on it. "The old man's firecrackers! That'atta bring in some attention!" The robot jumped back up, grasping the bomb like his newborn baby. The bomb was surprisingly very dangerous. Despite it's cutesy design, it's original creator designed it to take down invading battle ships that interfered with his inventing. Ketlin's "father" had given it to him for emergencies... boredom was a emergency. "Maybe if I blew up something, I could get arrested!... O.M.G.! Think about all the shenanigans I could get into at the Police Department~"

[Zerofighter]

Charles watched Erika. *she probably in the conspiracy as well. I have to watch her more..* he left Erika without a word and said "sorry I don't know where everything is in this city. No sorry I never seen a red cape girl. Have you seen a man with a red cape with a S on his chest?"
Gold sighed and wondered if her could stay awake. He has been scared for his life three times. When he fought Pryce and went back in time. When he went up against Team Aqua and saw Kyogre. And when his team battled Arceus.

"Then let's go before they do start to move on without us," Niv said, hands in his jacket pockets as he started to walk towards the direction to where the group was. He knew that Crimson would follow him anyways, but he could had sworn that he heard some voice off from the distance. Though, not seeing the need of checking it out since he assumed there were a ton more people that would notice it, Niv continued his way towards the group's location.

[Spartan2961]

Crimson and Wulf started to follow Niv with Wulf in the between the two keeping it's eye out for trouble as was Crimson. "So this uh group you mentioned do you know like who they are" Crimson asked interested to see if anyone he knew was with them.

[Weiss Schnee]

Yang heard Charles's question. "Alright. As for your question I am afraid I haven't. That girl is my younger sister Ruby and sience i left I am worried about her alot." She said in a worried tone of voice.

[Gummi Bunnies]

"Not really, just met them some time ago after ending up here," Niv says, not knowing any of the group members personally. For a moment, he actually missed that hot-headed fighter Zack. Still, he knew that they had to get this dilemma out of the way before handling his own deeds back at Maplemation City. Niv kept on walking, the burnt down building in sight not too far.

[GreatSalmon]

**a half-hour later**

Ketlin walked with a skip in his step, the cat-like bomb tucked under his arm. He had happily made his way down the city's sidewalk, and eventually to the other side of the city. His joyful, mischievous journey halted upon seeing the ruins of what appeared to be a building. With a quick blink in surprise, the small robot examined the ash filled area with confusion. It was a rather large change in scenery... but that's just what Ketlin sought for! He moved into the ruins of the building, being extremely careful not to damage anything that wasn't already. Ketlin during this had absent-mindedly dropped explosive on the ground next to him. The bomb casually sat on the sidewalk behind him as Ketlin raised his hand to call out: "Hey! Is anyone there?"

His response was quickly answered by Rammus popping up out of the rubble, in which Ketlin jumped in shock. The woman wasn't really looking at Ketlin, as more as she was just staring off into space with her usual empty gaze. "Woah! Jeez lady, you scared me." The robot laughed nervously, happy that he had finally found someone in the city. "Are you okay?" Rammus, seemingly uninterested with anything or anyone, replied in monotone:

"Okay."

"Ah that's great lady! Do you know what happened here, do you know where everyone is?"

"Okay."

And with that Rammus just walked out of the wreckage and back onto the sidewalk, continuing in her slow pace down it. Ketlin was left there in even more confusion as he watched the weirdly dressed woman walk off. "Um... alright, see ya around!" He called out, unsure of what her deal was. Something was really off about this city, and as Ketlin continued to examine the burnt down ruins, he continued to search for exactly why that was.

Still, he knew that they had to get this dilemma out of the way before handling his own deeds back at Maplemation City. Niv kept on walking, the burnt down building in sight not too far.

"Ah okay then.....whoa what happened to that building" Crimson said seeing the burnt down building off in the distance. He wondered if it was just a normal fire or was there something more to it. Crimson was also a little concerned not knowing if any were hurt in the fire. He seemed fixed on the burnt down building off in the distance more than anything.

[Zerofighter]

Charles nods at her and said "Sorry I haven't seen your sister Ruby...I understand that your worried with everything that is happening lately."
Gold got up and looked at Everyone. "So umm how are we gonna fight this guy?"
"In our dreams of course..." He said, fixing his tie

[Gummi Bunnies]

"That's one of the spots of the murders. Apparently the culprit managed to set the place on fire after killing the victim. Probably to get rid of the evidence," Niv explained for him, only knowing a bit on what happened earlier.

Soon, Erika came back to Charles's group, as if whatever she did earlier did not happen. "Sorry if I were gone a while, is there any progress that I've missed?" She asked the group curiously.

[Weiss Schnee]

"Yeah it's just we got seperated when I arrived here." Yang said. "I come from a world known as Remnant. I think you probably do not know what I am talking about. However I am confused. How can going into a person'd dream reverse a murder?" She said to Charles.

Crimson was also a little concerned not knowing if any were hurt in the fire. He seemed fixed on the burnt down building off in the distance more than anything.

From the very building, strode towards the man Rammus. She stopped in front of him and stood there for a good ten seconds. She casually raised a finger in the direction behind her, and towards the robot who was emerging from the rubble.

Ketlin growled to himself, pushing through the wreckage and back out onto the sidewalk. He absentmindedly began to wipe the grime and ash off his hands (the same ash and grime covered all over his body) as he pondered to himself. This had to be some kind of nightmare the poor robot was having, a city full of none save for that hooded girl? AND a burned down building with no attention? Crazy! Whatever the case, Ketlin knew that he would have to find someone eventually.

He picked up the bomb he had dropped earlier, throwing it up into the air and catching it a few times as he sighed. "Well, that's over with... maybe I'll go visit the City Hall next~" The strange looking robot said to himself happily... tucking the volatile explosive under his arm once more.

[Spartan2961]

"Whoa not only murder but arson dang" Crimson said before nearly bumping into Rammus. "Oh um hel" Crimson started to say but cut himself off to look over at where she was pointing at to see ketlin. "Hey i'm gonna go check out who shes pointing at Wulf go with Niv till you two reach the group then come find me" Crimson said running off towards Ketlin before any could object. He knew Wulf would find him easily as you could say the two are connected. "Hey you there robot thingy" Crimson called out trying to get Ketlin's attention.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Niv blinked at what was going on, but continued to walk down the street, hearing that Crimson tell Wulf to follow him.

"Rather than reversing, you could say preventing too," Erika added in for Yang, who seemed confused.

[Zerofighter]

Charles nods and said "precise Erika. If you can conquer your feast you have control of your dream. But it will be hard though. This guy is strong. If were all seperated it will be easier for him to get us one at a time."
