Noel Makarova
"Great," Noel muttered, grabbing the ladder before wincing in pain. He ignored the pain, climbing up the fire escape ladder as he spit out curses at every rung. Aaron and he had ran for their lives while invisible. A trick core and spirit? Interesting. At least Aaron wasn't ought to kill or arrest him.
Police Chief
One of his detectives, Nikola had entered the room. He talked about a few things that hit home. He grabbed the file, opening it to read the compiled profile of an Addario soldier, Noel Makorova. His known M.O? Ice spikes. The man closed his eyes before re-opening them as he look at Nikola seriously.
"Go for it," he began. Before he could say anything else, the door burst open. "Chief! There's been sightings of the murder suspect down 15'th street." The police chief nodded and had a grime smile. "Go get 'im."

Sheila and Drake argued the whole time while in combat. While their opponent was invisible and throwing icicles of doom at them, the two were at each others faces, yelling insults. However, both were not totally clueless to the dangerous situation they were in. Sheila used her telekinesis to bring up random objects to protect the two while Drake continued to randomly fire wind blades. The fire then began; the glass shattered and the flames began to lick the inside of the building.
She was right.
Lavinia came eye to eye with the summoner from before. She smiled, rather glad that this Vincenzo wasn't going to let her off easy. It was exactly what she had been waiting for. However, Lavinia caught sight of the horrid creature beside the Addario. "It can't be," she voiced, her eyes wide with surprise and bitter nostalgia. The Addario then said a command in Latin and the all too familiar creature lunged for her. The fire salamander lunged as well, wrapping itself around the creature as it prevented it from coming near Lavi. She reached out to touch black stud earrings; her eyes enraptured by the now flame-engulfed beast.
It felt as if she had met him just yesterday. She was only sixteen when her mother passed away, leaving her alone in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Penniless and a rather useless Spirit Core user, she had wandered the streets, doing everything and anything to survive. Breaking and entering, robberies, and even selling her body at one point. Lavi's life was meaningless back then, till she accidentally came across a creature just like Vincenzo had in his grasp. The one house she had decided to rob was owned by a Campione soldier - but she didn't know that at the time. Cornered by that beast, Lavinia had expected to be ruthlessly killed by the Summon core user. Yet, the man had just called back the beast and took her under his wing.
Really, it was as if she had awakened in a fairy-tale. She was given a new life as a Campione. A new life as a Spirit-Summon core user. He cared for her, patiently guiding her on how to summon mythical creatures like the salamanders. But never, never did he ever talk about summoning the dark creature from the depths. And Lavi never asked about it. The time came when her mentor had suddenly left crime life at age nineteen, leaving her a pair earrings and his wisdom. He was gone. Yet, how could this Addario have the same exact creature?
"Who taught you how to summon Monstrum Acerbum?" she fiercely asked, almost eager to know her mentor's whereabouts and well-being.
