Mcmolly"It IS a threat!" Emiri practically yelled. Jaakuna was just not understanding how concerning the matter was. Why wasn't he listening to her? At this point, however, she had found that she had enough. She just didn't care anymore. She practically kicked off her heels, going over to her boots and yanking them on. "Fine. Then you have no say in me using my power." She told him, once she had finished lacing up her boots she stood up again, making sure they were secure. Once she grabbed her scrunchie she pulled her hair into her usual ponytail. "I'm going to help the others. You stay here." She ordered him, walking out off the room.
"You've probably heard of her. A girl with the power to control time." Shion told him as he began walking out of the nightclub. They had no further business there, and she saw no need to remain. No doubt the troops would arrive at any minute, anyway, and the last thing she wanted to do was get blamed for the mess. "Scion of time, broken off from an Esper's power...As long as she is alive, the Espers are able to roam in our world. Kill her, and the Espers go back and remain in their cages--and Zodiark will be effectively weakened as well." She informed him as she walked. "The Esper Chaos warped her Mist so that she could become a key, so to speak--specifically that of her mother, Justine Iniabi. This ability was passed down to her daughter, a girl named Emelia. These days she goes by a false name: Emiri Iniko. She is my target."
As Michel flew into the air, Grant took Wesley's cue. Taking aim, he watched Michel closely, his arrows charged with Dark magic. He fired off around a dozen of them, though Michel would soon find that some of them had missed at quite a distance. Holding his hand out, each arrow would began sparking his Dark spell out, each freezing in the air and forming a circle around the young assassin. "Darkja!" He called, setting off the initial spell. The burst of the energy erupted towards Michel, and this one would cause the rest of the smaller spells to fire off as well, creating a dark explosion so to speak.
Meli watched Savayna and Nadeline closely. She was sure she could take them both out, but this little newfound talent of the princess had thrown her off guard. As if to even the odds, once she threw up a shadow guard to protect herself from Savayna's wind, she jumped down into her shadow, popping up a distance away. She pulled up her shadows and shoved it back down, and with that she sheathed her wakizashi. She unsheathed it once more, though instead of having a solid blade, it was more of a dark substance. She withdrew it completely, and Nadeline saw it as more of a dark, shadow whip of sorts. Meli whipped it back, wrapping it around Savayna's leg and pulled the blonde woman towards her, her own shadow tendrils ready to strike.
As Nadeline realized what had happened, she moved forward to help, though a noise distracted her. She turned and brought up her staff to block the attack from one of Meli's shadow clones. She staggered backwards somewhat, though she held her stance at the ready. "Firaga!" She called, the flames dancing underneath the clone until it erupted. To her surprise, it remained there, though as the spell faded away she saw more clones popping up. Quirking an eyebrow at this trick, she pointed her staff at them. "Scourge!" She called once more, and several dark tendrils resembling Meli's own came out of her staff. They followed and pierced through each clone, though a few managed to escape.

"To save me. And now we get back to what I was telling you before: I can take care of myself." The brunette threw her arms up in the air, clearly exasperated. "You sound pretty sure of yourself considering this thing whole-fully possessed you. What if it happens again? How do you know you call to it and not the other way around? What...what were you thinking?!" Emiri felt so angry and frustrated she found herself repeating her previous words. The girl started pacing in front of Jaakuna, clearly not happy with the situation. She remembered her own nightmare and it clicked into her head. "You have to get it out. You need to make sure he doesn't take over your body again."
Shion was not a woman to easily stun. She had encountered various enemies in her life and has been on the brink of death so much that Death was but an ally of hers. Never in her life had anything ever surprised her, as battle was just second nature for her. Now, however, she was completely and utterly shocked. Boy was that a dangerous feeling. As Francis smiled at her, she only stared at him in disbelief. Oh she did not like being surprised like that. She found herself touching her lips with her finger, though quickly removed her hand as she looked away. Dear gods this was dangerous. Her rose glowed again, and she lightly patted it. "The girl isn't with them." She said, her voice coming out quieter than she had intended it to. "Hm. I wonder...she can't be too far."
"Alright then, let's dance."
A surge of magic rushed through her veins, and as Nadeline's staff clashed with Meli's sword, she felt the magicks within calling out to her. The feather in her hair glowed, and as Nadeline pushed off her sword, she spotted the all too familiar tendrils closing in on her. Without missing a beat, Nadeline raised her staff in the air. "Thundaga!" She called, summoning several bolts of lightning to come down and zap through each tendril. After a second, however, she then realized exactly what had just happened. That wasn't White Magic. That was Black Magic. She had intended to repel the shadows with a Protect, but what came instead was a Thundaga. Meli was just as surprised, having been expecting the same thing. The sheer force of the spell also left the air with some static and had ripped through the shadows like it was nothing. The princess' magic was strong, that much she had to admit.
Still, in those few seconds of realization, Nadeline recovered from the shock: "Faith!" She called, greatly enhancing her magic, though she then pointed her staff at Savayna. "Bravery!" The spell sang through the air and wrapped itself around the blonde's sword.

Emiri's jaw dropped as Jaakuna concluded retelling what had happened to him in Nabudis. Normally, she would have felt an immense guilt and even a sentimental need to comfort him, but that last sentence threw every kind of good feeling out of the airship. She closed her mouth and walked up to him, placing her hands on her hips again as she glared down at him. Oh, now she was mad. Now she was mad. "Are you serious?" She asked, it coming out somewhat harsher than how she had originally anticipated. "Tell me you aren't serious. Did you forget what happened when we were on our way to get to your father? Did you forget how you struggled over having control of your own body?" She kept going, obviously riled up. "Why in Ivalice would you do that?!"
No matter what, huh? How many times had she heard those words? She shook her head, clearly having heard it all. As Francis offered to show her proof, she could only raise an eyebrow in clear disbelief. Before she knew it, however, he pulled her to him, causing her stiletto not to agree with the ground. She nearly tripped and ended up falling towards Francis, and before she knew what was happening he was kissing her. Lip to lip contact had been made, and for the first time in a very long time Shion was in complete shock. "Mmm?!" She exclaimed though her lips were clearly occupied.
Meli placed one hand on her hip, eyeing each member of the group. "Yeah, yeah, shut up." She replied, clearly annoyed that Michel was right (As usual). "Wait..." She narrowed her eyes, then looking at Michel. "They aren't all here!" Nadeline bit her lip. She was glad they had reunited with Savayna, but she didn't like the idea of fighting both Michel and Meli. Still, as Meli shook her head, she looked back at the group. Nadeline did not like that look on her face. "Ah, well, either the other two eventually show up or their screams will draw them out."

Once the pair had reached Jaakuna's room, Emiri placed her hands on her hips. Perhaps it was her smaller stature, but she didn't feel like she was as intimidating as she wanted to be. "Jaakuna, you're wrong. I do have to take care of myself." She stated, picking up where they had left off from the aircab. The conversation was long from over, no it was just starting. "You can't keep throwing yourself in danger every time you think I'm in trouble. I'm going to get hurt whether you want it to happen or not. You can't--" She stopped, remembering Lola, and she rubbed her arms in an attempt to comfort herself. "You're...You're not always there. Things are going to happen." Her voice got lower, but her temper was still there. After taking in a breath, she felt revved up again. "You haven't been completely honest, either, have you?"
Grant and Nadeline listened to Wesley intently. It was a rather curious thing, but it seemed the Espers were able to sense Zodiark. Nadeline felt slightly concerned that now Wesley was hearing noises. Still, it wasn't Zodiark, which was a good sign. "If we're finished, we should go now." Grant told the pair. While he was concerned with the state of things, he didn't know how Savayna's battle was going.
As Francis would compliment her, Shion turned to him. She only offered a shrug as a response. She didn't think it was a big deal, it was how she handled her life in general. "Sometimes all a person needs is a little guidance." She told him, shaking her head. "More often then not we find ourselves somewhat lost, somewhat strayed...and so I take it upon myself to properly guide young ones." She stepped forward, looking at him. "You should know that either Michel or Meli--most likely Meli--will kill that general. This is your last chance to back out, Wolf." She warned him once more. "If you walk away now, I will understand."
As Meli moved forward, she noticed Michel had caught up. Well, at the least he hadn't been in trouble, that was a relief. "Masking my aura would mean that I was trying to hide. Who said I was hiding?" Meli told him, quirking an eyebrow at him. "Either the Ice Bitch leads us to the girl of time or her corpse will draw their attention. Either way it's a win-win, right?" She informed him rather coldly. That bitch was going down, now that she had her boss' good grace, she would make sure she didn't fail.

Of course I finally post and the site has to double post it. Great.
I posted.
I posted.
double post pretend rue is dancing please
Take the test, they said. It will be fine, they said. Intercept the others, he said. Well this is just fan-tucking-fastic, he said. No, he didn't say that. All I gotta do is pump this thing with magic and then boom. Simple. Sure. Except this entire situation is SHIT.
Those thoughts were running through Charlotte's mind as she sat with her back against the wall.
A somewhat irritated Charlotte had separated from Xerox and had done as he instructed. Too bad the terrain and the stupid boots made her journey much more difficult then she needed to be. Not to mention having to tread carefully and walking along to make sure she wasn't spotted. Oh and that beam from the tower, yeah, that was great. She bitched and whined internally, her exterior just being extremely annoyed. Why couldn't things ever go smoothly? It's just A, then, B, then C, and the rest of the damn alphabet but of course, everything needs to go wrong. It provides tension, drama, excitement. Charlotte hated all of those things. And yet as she made her way, one hand clutching Xerox's device, a million possibilities running through her head. How did this even happen? Why did it happen? Rescuing instructors was NOT in the manual. No, no, no, she needed to calm down. Ah damn it, she was nervous. Taking in a very long and deep breath, Charlotte kept on going, though now she was more relaxed. Now that her head was on her shoulders again, she let the possibilities run through her head again. Once the tower was close, she began doing as Xerox instructed, placing magic into the device.
Now that she had seen the situation inside, she figured they were all royally and thoroughly screwed.
"There." She stated (to herself) as she finished charging Xerox's device with magic.

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng I will post today.
Emiri listened to Jaakuna, though for one reason or another, she found herself actually irritated. She wasn't a child, she didn't need to be looked after, she could very well take care of herself. "That's not true, I am in control. That only happened because I helped your father, or have you already forgotten that? I never had any problems before that. " Emiri pulled her hands away from Jaakuna's and placed them on her lap. She didn't even mean to come off as bratty but she felt insulted. "I've been on my own for years, I never had anyone to rely on before then. I know how to take care of myself." She stated. "And what have you done?"
Grant rubbed his hands together rather eagerly as he looked around. He was tempted to get another gun, but his Lionheart would probably feel betrayed. Instead he found himself wandering away from the guns and to the bows. Bows never were his style though, and were slightly too slow for him to maneuver. No, he needed something that he could keep up with in the pace of battle. After a moment of consideration, his eyes fell on the crossbows. Grinning to himself, he wandered on over and began browsing through them. After a few minutes of comparing one to another, he decided on a Penetrator Crossbow. It was lighter than what he was used to, but it would have to do for now. He began looking for bolts.
Meanwhile Nadeline was displeased at how heavy the swords were here. Their weight was just too much for her, she'd be slowed down considerably. She huffed in disapproval, clearly displeased at the clear lack of rapiers. The princess placed the sword she had been swinging back on its rack and shook her head. She needed something, but what? She watched Grant move from the guns to the crossbows, and it was then she decided that maybe she could try something different as well. Magic always had been her forte, so why not a Rod or Staff? Question was, which one? She stared at each one, wondering which would be best. She spotted a feather on top of a staff. She liked the look of it for some reason, and plucked it from its place, putting it on her hair. She decided to take the staff and held it with both hands. The magic coursing through it felt good, and she nodded, affirming her decision.
Nadeline looked over at Wesley, who was staring at a katana. "Darling, are you alright?" She asked him gently.
Shion looked at Francis just for a moment. It was business time, and she needed to get to work. She looked back at Michel. "Follow Meli. The General will lead you to the rest of them. I want you to do what Lola couldn't and finish the job." She instructed him rather briskly. "Try not to catch too much attention. If all else fails, fall back, we needn't risk any unneeded...attention. Remember who the target is. If the rest of their little group decides to get in the way, you have my permission to take care of them as you see fit."

Emiri was speechless, so to speak. How in the world did he find that out? She watched Jaakuna, though she shifted in her seat somewhat uncomfortably. Should she deny it? Lie? No, he already knew about them. Maybe she could pretend not to know what he was talking about. No, that wasn't right. The fact that he said he had more also made her even more nervous. She looked out the window in an attempt to regain her composure, though in all honesty she just didn't know what to do or say. "That's..." She started, scratching her head. "I...I'm fine." She told him, finally looking at him. "That...that was just a hiccup. It's not going to happen again." She tried to assure him, though she was pretty sure that she sounded completely unconvincing. "You don't have to worry about me, really. I'm fine."
Telling her something she already knew didn't exactly satisfy Nadeline at all. What did catch her interest was what Wesley said (or rather didn't say) about Jaakuna. Still, she knew she wasn't going to get anything else out of him, and Grant gave her a shrug, so that was that. Still, the whole Emiri thing wasn't good to hear. "But...how do you know about Emiri's power?" She asked the pair, slightly confused. "Or rather, how did Jaakuna know? Did Emiri tell him?" It was somewhat strange Emiri would tell just Jaakuna and not the whole group.
"Justine told him." Grant answered.
"Does Emiri know?" She asked curiously.
Shion didn't like hugs. So being pulled into one was something she didn't enjoy. Still, as the awkward family hug commenced, she was sure Savayna had gotten away. She looked at Meli, who offered a small shrug of apology. "Well then...we have business to attend to." She said, pointedly looking at Meli. She nodded, and her shadow (still on the ground) left her, giving chase to the Ice General. She hoped she would at least be able to track her down for the moment.
