The fox pushed back against the tree he had crashed again and momentarily leaned against it to get air back into his lungs. He grumpled slightly while rubbing at his chest though wasn't too bothered from getting kicked considering Kali was in a far worse and more painful state. Lifting his head; mask slightly askew that a quick nudge of his hand fixing it back into place, where he saw the detestable woman's failed attempt to get up and flee. Seeing the woman so feared by the guild in such a sorry state with the knowledge that he hurt her to such a degree lifted his souring mood in seconds.

A few pats dusting off his haori before pushing off the tree to once again casually stroll over to Kali now forced to rest on her knees due to the injuries being worse than expected. Then his ears perked catching the words she coughed out about not being imaginary making Izu stop in his tracks with a curious tilt of the head. It was clear she was struggling whether to say something while reeling from the pain and coughing up bits of blood and decided to let her speak out of curiosity though mostly out of amusement as he had an idea of what was about to come.

Izu stood there, listening quietly to Kali talk about this dark guild, Shadow Fang and how they had been working in secret with abducting and forcefully indoctrinating them into their guild. He folded his sleeved arms across his chest as if in deep thought, the masked face making it impossible for the woman to tell what he was thinking regarding her explanation over this guild and how they used entire villages as a base to drain resources and other use." So, let me get this straight. This village you destroyed was actually controlled by this Shadow Fang guild and apparently working up to some major stuff?" Lifting his right hand to lightly scratch a clawed finger against the chin part of his mask like one would do when pondering.

" Looks like this is much more serious than we thought. All of this over a stupid misunderstanding...let me get you of those then we'll try to figure thi- " He had started reaching into his right sleeve while speaking but couldn't help himself anymore as he found himself snickering in the middle of trying to be serious then broke out into laughter." Pffft! Hahahahaha! Oh wow! You really spent your time on the one well to work out this crazy kind of story." Speaking through his continued muffled laughter while hugging at his stomach; greatly amused by the ridiculous story she concocted." Can't deny how impressive this story of yours is. That dark guild forcing villagers into becoming members was a nice touch so let me applaud you." The gasping fox reeled back to stand up to give a slow sarcastic slap and on the third clap she would feel the tingling of static faintly crackling off the cuffs.

Without warning, his right hand moved as if gripping an invisible rope and pulled it back. In doing so she felt a strong pull on the metal cuffs causing her body to get pulled along onto her side and dragged the short distance towards him before skidding to a stop with her shoulder hitting against his raised foot. The masked Izu leaned forward till he was looking down at her." Come on, Kali! You do realize how downright ridiculous all of that sounds? Some dark guild going around taking over villages and you just so happened to find one? Which you burnt down?" He scoffed with a nudging shove of his foot to push the woman onto her back." Three things regarding that story." Holding up three fingers to add to his statement." One- Any chance of proof gone the moment you burned down the town, two-you fled and went on the run taking away any credibility of anything you say and three- this is hardly the first time you burned something down out of anger." Lowering each finger as he explained his points, his foot pressing down on her shoulder to keep her from trying to move." After stating these facts, so then. Why on earth would I or anyone possibly believe anything that comes out of your mouth?" His tone a mix of mocking and disbelief as he couldn't help but chuckle again.

Nearly losing himself in another laughing fit and had to wave his hand as he took a deep breath." Good to see that this hot headed birdbrain isn't all anger in that head." Letting out an amused scoff before lowering himself down." Now, to deal with this annoying breathing before it becomes a problem." Reaching his right hand down which crackled with static which he placed against her chest above her heart and gave a quick pump sending a precise shock fixing the erratic beating of her heart much like a defibrillator." There we are. All that broken breathing of yours was starting to get annoying which would of been handled had you not attacked me." Annoyance in his voice as he listened to her heartbeat to make sure it was beating properly once more.

Evan found himself brooding as he sat there on the bar as he gave a sputter of his lips at Wayne's remark at being late. Resting his cheek against his left fist propped up by the elbow while his right fingers lightly drummed away at the counter top." I'm not your coffee boy. " He muttered beneath his breath; preferring not to mention the reason for his lateness due to him listening in on the current chase and fantasizing joining in like a proper villain.

" Tch! Well Tankman handled this job very sloppily. Going big at the start and drawing two heroes on him not even five seconds of getting the armored truck." Scoffing with a fresh drum of his fingers upon being reminded of his inability to pull off a villainous deed without his infuriating powers getting in the way.

He turned his head to glare daggers at the bartender through the mask of his and sat up." Don't you think I know that?! Don't need to keep reminding me. I would of done it if I knew how." Growling out softly with his head lowered slightly to peer down at his closed fist shaking lightly against the counter; noticing his frustration rising again and took a deep breath to try and calm down as he knew like most patrons it was foolish to mess with this man.

The bartender really knew how to strike at his heart, hitting him with another dagger to the heart with his latest comment." Ugh, don't call me vigilante! I hate being referred as such." Huffing from his nose while sitting back up to glare at Wayne once again, seeming to say more until he was offered the virgin mojito and settled down to sip at the drink to let it soothe his ebbing nerves.

He could hear the ragged difficulty of her breathing caused by the powerful static jolt. It thankfully left this woman considered highly difficult to bring down badly stunned and long enough for him to clasp on the cuffs. And did he feel bad at all for the dirty sneak attack that brought the bird down? Not at all. As this way let him avoid an annoying drawn out chase and fight.

Ears perking upon her finally speaking in pained huffs resulting in a shake of the head." Oh, is that so? Then by all means let me get you out of these cuffs and a pat on the back with an apology. And I bet you'd like some refreshing water before I send the birdy on her way? " He spoke in a mock sincere tone then started snickering, when his ears flicked; catching how her heartbeat was beating erratically.

A worrisome sound which he knew needed to be fixed as he was pretty sure the job was to bring Kali back alive. Plus, having to drag a corpse all the way back certainly wouldn't be fun be kind to his nose." Yes yes. Playing right into the hands of your imaginary enemies. Now shut up and stay st-" His fox like senses allowed him to notice her spinning and started to step back to avoid having his foot slipped out beneath him but was still reeling from a bit of dizzyness though moved enough to keep from being knocked down and instead tripping back. Trying to regain his balance when receiving a kick to his chest having the fox stumble back, barely keeping on his feet before hitting against the tree behind him with a small pained grunt. It was the fox's turn to let out a heaving grunt, the air briefly kicked from his lungs.

It had now been a week since joining with the guild and at an most opportune time. For he found the place to be mostly empty with only a few others after majority of the guild members set out on quests the very evening of his arrival.

The large building; now quiet offered a decent amount of places to explore without being bothered and bombarded by questions of his appearance and origin of which he expected. And after settling on an empty room to claim for his own, did he set out, where to his delight came across the guild's library while the smell and look of the walls and shelves indicated it had recently been built and stocked at that. Within this room, surrounded by shelves and shelves of books was where the wolf felt at home and would spend most of his term casually perusing its contents. Though of course the books he found seemed mostly basic and hardly anything special but he figured this place wouldn't hold the more interesting and intricate sets that held the more difficult and..less than approved information. Yet, it held knowledge of this modern era; a good start in understanding how the world had chanced these past several hundred years.

A good thing to have all these books to keep him busy with nearly all the quests taken anyway with the last involving babysitting. As he didn't much like children along with the fact a bubbly seeming female already shown interest in accepting it. Opting to hold off on taking a quest at the time being which left the robed canine free to read, choosing only to venture out to grab himself tea and bits of food though unsure if any belonged to a particular person and so kept to mostly sandwiches or cereal while of course cleaning up after himself. Besides leaving to sleep otherwise the beastkin spent all his time reading or meditating within the sanctuary of books.

Eventually the solace and quiet peace came to an end upon the guild members returning. The once quiet building quickly becoming abuzz with activity; footsteps stamping on creaking wooden floorboards, doors opening and closing and various muffled voices with none familiar to him.

Thinking it time to try and properly meet some of his fellow guild mates that he quietly glided from the library and made his way to the main hall. Open book lightly clutched within his clawed hands as his uncovered canine ears twitched and flicked to the various sounds. Long before even arriving that his nose had caught the smell of fire and badly burnt cookies and the faintest hint of blood uncomfortably tickling at his highly sensitive nose, the kitchen the source of these unpleasant scents.

His ears perked; catching a disgruntled voice filled with annoyance and exasperation and another almost playful feigning guilt. It was clear an argument were taking place and so chose to hold off on making himself a cup of tea, at least for the time being.

Closing the book on his thumb as a temporary bookmark and took a moment to peer around the hall. Glimpsing unknown faces of those either busy in their own thing or relaxing and watching the antics of the kitchen in amusement. This observation had him lift a brow in a curious manner; unsure of what could possibly be funny regarding damages to the kitchen especially when it could spread and worsen though a quick barrier cutting it off from oxygen would have it snuffed out in seconds.

* None seemed vexed nor show the slightest hint of worry. How peculiar seeing them relaxed and amused at the possibility of danger.* Thinking this with a slight curious tilt of the head.

Deciding to jot this down seeing as the incident within the kitchen would take some time to be resolved and strode over to an empty table. Taking a seat and setting the book down opened, he reached in and from the left sleeve procured a small notebook and pencil. Taking this moment to scribble down what he observed of the group's behavior, fascinated by their aloofness and a person's capability to somehow start a stove fire in trying to bake cookies.

How he wished the rest of the guild and those who had tried to bring in prior were here to witness him bring down the fiery phoenix in such an epic manner. One that he normally would revel in, but traveling at such speeds he wasn't used to on top of stopping himself so abruptly left him feeling nauseous and dizzy made worse by the unsteady wobbling of his disc. As without all that built up charge; being at such a height had it struggling with barely holding him up, threatening to drop beneath his weight. Taking a deep breath while gulping down the nausea, the masked fox crouched down against the disc to steadily lower himself towards the ground and once he was below the tree lines was able to regain his balance to lower himself easier.

Finally settling down on the ground a good few feet from the crumpled heap that is kali as he made sure to regain his composure before hopping off the disc." Whew..that was quite the chase you gave me there. And you were this close to getting up into those clouds." Pinching his right index and thumb clawed fingers till they were nearly touching to further state how she was inches from getting away as he casually strode his way over to her though kept himself ready to pull back at any sign of an attack.

" I know such a surprise attack is dirty and blah blah blah.." Mocking a mouth talking with his right hand followed with a shrug of the shoulder." But you can't blame me when I'm dealing with the hot headed flamebitch as we both know an actual fight would probably end with me charred like those other idiots." He spoke in a playful tone muffled by the mask then slipped his left hand into his right sleeve and from it pulled out a pair of stark silver cuffs which he spun around his finger." Them damn government and council and their rigid ways. I tried requesting for magic nullifying cuffs but of course they had to be their stubborn human selves and deny me. And I'm like..well that's great, you know who it is I have to bring in right?" Placing a hand on his chest as he leaned to the side, now standing over Kali.

He scoffed with a shake of the head as he gripped the cuff, ceasing its spinning." These magic dampening cuffs will have to do I suppose." Crouching down next to the woman still reeling from the intense shock with bits of static crackling over her clothes." Now, be a good birdy and keep that temper of yours under control won't you? For me, hm?" He asked in a mocked kind tone while giving her nose a small poke of his clawed finger then moved to turn her over and clasps her wrists together against her back with the cuffs.

The police scanner had been abuzz with activity; detailing a high speed chase robbery with both Dynamo and Eclipse now on the scene! Any moment now his car will be pulling up and throwing a wrench into those blasted heroes attempts to foil the tank man as he would soon be shouting that fate would aid in his villainy!

He could just picture himself jumping out of the car and showing everyone what a true villain he was to let his car derail the armored car injuring the guards inside." You chose an ill fated day to play the hero! " Is what he would shout at the pretty boy speedster and the gloomy shadowy guy. Evan pumped his fist as he sat in driver's seat of his car picturing how all of this would go, but instead found himself parked across the street from the red door dressed in his mistaken hero outfit as he sat there laughing manically at how amazing it would of all played out. Then he stopped mid-laugh upon remembering where he was and found himself grabbing and strangling the steering wheel in frustration." Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! It should be me out there doing such an epic villainy act! " Slamming his fist against the wheel before thumping his forehead against it causing an extended loud honking as he sat there stewing in his rage at missing out on it.

This could of been the perfect opportunity to prove he was no damn hero...not going around working these damn escort jobs! The young masked adult grumbled before sitting back against the seat." This is just so unfair! I'm sick of being used as an uber... " Growling while rubbing his hands ferociously through his hair.

With a reluctant shove, he got out of the car and had started stamping his way towards the bar only to skid to a stop and ran back to grab the cup holder holding two hot cups of coffee.

Kicking the door open and made his way inside and headed towards the counter while grumbling, where he nearly slammed the cup holder down." Ugh, I'm not a secretary damn it! Neither am I an uber, I'm a legit villain and deserve to be out pulling jobs like this!" Slamming his palm repeatedly against the counter as he exclaimed his distaste to constantly receiving these demeaning escort jobs." Of all the guys it had to be tankman?! The guy's a lumbering idiot in some scrap metal suit for pete's sake. " Thumping his forehead against the counter top after having another glass of liquor pulled away from his reaching hand.

He didn't even get enough respect to be able to drink and all cause he wasn't exactly 21 yet.

It wasn't long before he left the outskirts of the town with the forest lying ahead, where he soon lost the small dot of Kali off in the distance ahead of him. He had no fear of losing the woman with her scent fresh in the air that she might as well be right in front of him as the fox shifted to lower himself a bit more towards the disc he was crouched on. With them no longer in the town; Izu could discern what the firebird's next plan of action would be and was making preparations to prevent her from flying off towards the sky and needed to do so before she got too high for his static to lift him up.

Taking a deep breath beneath the mask as he lifted his gaze to the tree lines." Better time than ever to see just how fast I can go." Pulling back on the disc to fly up to the top of the trees then kicked forward, where he started charging static nonstop into the disc to propel himself forward, his speed increasing by the second. Wind whipped viciously at his covered face; haori flapping wildly as his body shot his way towards Kali's direction while the crackling of static grew in size and volume that, if not for his clothes high resistance he would be receiving a painful zap himself.

His eyes squinted as Kali with her fiery wings came into view flying upwards as he surmised and sped rapidly towards her at such speeds he had to hold onto the disc. Nearly reaching the point he wouldn't be able to maintain his balance and be blown off; appearing above her suddenly followed by the thunderous sound of a sonic boom as he twisted his disc turning to have the round metal filled with an intense static charge." Your flight..has been cancelled! " He called out then slammed his palm onto the disc causing it to discharge a concentrated static pulse straight at the woman momentarily stunned at his appearance as if he teleported there as the blast struck her with an immense electrical discharge that it almost felt like being struck by a mini lightning bolt.

Now that he had the general direction she was in pinpointed, the fox gave his disc toss forward then leapt from the roof edge to land gracefully on the falling platform. Within seconds crackling static sparked to life stopping his descent towards the hard ground he might of crashed into had he been too slow then with a small pushing burst shot himself back into the air.

Choosing to fly at a casual pace at the moment. Taking this time to think about how to approach this for he knew not to go rushing in, not when Kali was the prey. It was obvious how the others were defeated so easily or badly; going in after the firebird without a plan and the fact she was on the run will make her dangerous doubly so. A woman with a fiery temper and less than friendly personality then add the fact she likely wasn't in the best mental state if she was willing to burn down a whole village which meant little reason for her to hold back.

It was clear he needed to smart on how to handle such a target while the biggest obstacle was getting her out of this town. Or at least he thought so until he noticed her scent was moving making him chuckle with a smirk beneath his mask. Had she simply stayed put, his actions would of been limited with the risk of getting the villagers involved or setting her off with but the panicked Kali was making this easier for him." Guess she has the bird brain to match that magic of hers." Snickering to himself as all he needed to do was keep on the pressure to get her to fly out of the village, where he can freely make his move. And so, unfolding his sleeved arms from his chest and crouched his body to one knee on the disc and leaned forward kicking off into third gear, levitating at twice the speed." Think this will do. Be a good birdy and fly out of this cumbersome village." He shifted and flew at a fast steady pace; one that kept him from catching up to her too much while preventing from letting her get too far ahead, seeing no need to catch her just yet.

These past three weeks had been a storm of chaos for the guild; tension was already taut made worse each time the guild members that set out came back defeated and empty handed. An incident the guild leader had hoped to keep secret and handled quickly as possible but the firebird's wings proved far more difficult to clip though mostly expected such results as the few willing to actually attempt such a dangerous capture kept ending in failure. So it was no surprise such news spread throughout the guild with talks that they always knew the bitch was a traitor while others held doubts; finding it too much for even Kali to go doing something so extreme.

Confusion, doubt and fear. These three terms best described what the guildmembers were feeling and were unsure how to proceed from there. It took everything from the guild leader to ensure such talks did not get out and using connections to keep back the rune knights or the council from acting, wanting to try and handle this personal issue themselves and save face. Yet, with the four that either returned or reported their failure left the guild master little choice but to send the only person remaining foolish and willing enough to try and take down such a wild card and it was one he most wanted to avoid sending. But, none of the others were willing while the S mages were either too busy or didn't care to get involved with such a troublesome case and thus was left with no other choice to relent and finally accept Izushima's offer.

The guild master hoped the fox would hold his damn tongue for this one quest. May the heavens have mercy if that mouth of his causes this sensitive time bomb of a situation to go off into disastrous results and instantly regretted it after seeing the masked figure float off with a snicker.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How cumbersome to be turned down and made to wait so long after his insistence on accepting possibly the most interesting and amusing quest since joining the guild. While the others were whimpering and pissing their pants, he found this as a great opportunity; how could he possibly refuse a chance to not only take down the hot headed bird but to rub in the fact she was now a hated criminal. He always knew Kali was going to blow up and fuck herself over with the one regret that he wasn't there when it finally happened.

It annoyed him being rejected such a chance to bring down the woman well disliked by most and a most interesting human specimen to him. Though it was equally amusing seeing each guildmate that set out after her return injured and defeated having him simply wait and bide his time for when the guild master saw no other option but to give him the quest.

And now the white robed fox floated his way through the forest; hot on the phoenix's trail and in this case literally in thanks to his far more potent nose following her scent. As even among the guildmates hers was especially discernable and easy to pick up and months of memorizing each of their scents had him well familiarized with the smell of lilac and aloe. True that these two scents weren't uncommon in nature which might normally make discerning Kali's from the flowers in the surrounding woods but it was that hint of ash mixed in that helped him separate and pinpoint the direction she had been traveling. While at times the trail become very faint, forcing him to search around the general area at times until he was able to find a point he could pick up and continue on.

Only days after Izu set out before he found himself arriving at the town of Sakura, where it would of taken any other of the guild a good week or more just to find where she had fled to and by then would likely be long gone. She certainly might of had plenty of time to think and plan her next action, but the fiery woman found herself unlucky to have the best tracker now nipping at her heel.

The round metal disc slightly bigger than that of a garbage lid crackled with static which repelled against the ground, giving the appearance that the fox could fly though he would tell it was closer to levitating. As he could not go high up into the air as his static needed a physical base to repel against to keep him afloat and could go as high as a two story building; perfectly fitting height to let him touch down on the nearest resting on the outskirts of the small town as the haori robed figure lifted his shoeless feet from the disk and stepped towards the edge to peer off over the countless roofs of houses and businesses.

His long sleeved right hand lifted to rub the clawed index finger against the fox mask adorned over his face, the light scratch of wood having those fox like ears flicking atop his head. The wind had his white haori billow and lightly flap while using a bit of effort to keep those three long fluffy fox tails of his from swaying too much, not wanting them flapping about when inspecting the town before him.

" So this is where you chose to come nest for the time being? What about this town brought the birdy here, hm?" He pondered and mused aloud to himself, words slightly muffled due to the mask. Amused and intrigued on what Kali's thought process had been like these last couple weeks as he could imagine how stressed and wary she must be." If only that idiot guild master hadn't hold me back that this whole thing would of been settled long before it got this far. By now I already would of had her behind bars." He spoke in slightly annoyed and disappointed tone with a shake of his head, hands on his hips then gave a shrug of his shoulders moments later." Ah, but I suppose this makes for a more interesting hunt for me so perhaps I owe them thanks? Well, either way I will bring down the firebitch and this time, she won't be rising back up." A playful smug smirk crooked his hidden lips, confidant and excited to bring down the phoenix.

Holding out his right clawed hand forward to make a cherry picking motion in each possible direction, sniffing the air as he went." And...you...are....hah!" Letting his finger spring towards where her scent trail was strongest making both his ears and tail flick, showing his excitement." Here I come......try to make this fun!" He exclaimed his challenge while holding his left hand back and with a static crackle the disc shot to his hand, ready to set off towards Kali's hiding.
