Dumanios

"I'm ready to go!" Raina said, landing next to Lightflare.

The drone's sudden change in tactics surprised the shrinemaiden. Raina quickly made a large orb and tossed it toward the drone, intending to finish with the drones and then maybe help against the soldiers.

"Thanks Lucent," Raina said. With her newfound speed, she sent a mass of projectiles at the drones aiming toward her, more than she normally would have been able to send.

With the battle getting hot, Raina tossed another pair of cards toward a second pair of drones that were focused on Lightflare. "Melina, are you alright?" Raina asked loudly in her direction.

Raina rose into the air and threw a pair of card-like bullets at a pair of drones.

"I'm ready when you guys are," Raina said. Five soldiers who looked better equipped than the pirates they'd encountered earlier, along with ten... orbs? These drones were an unknown to Raina, but the rest of the party seemed to regard them with little threat. Raina had a set of cards in her right hand, but made no move to use them yet. Not until her teammates were prepared.

"Sounds good. Ready when you are."

Warrior's Hangout Training Area "I'm not much of a strategist, unfortunately. Guess we'll have to plan as we go..." "I think it'll work out though." Warrior's Hangout Main Lobby While the other newcomers had went to the training area, Sasuke had remained in the Hangout Lobby. He wasn't expecting to see those newcomers for some time, but that was fine. Sasuke was used to being on his own. That said, he wanted to know more information about the Link World he'd found himself in. He turned toward Gordeau. "Is there a computer I could use to find more information?"

"I'd be in favor of cooperative as well."

Raina followed Lightflare and Melina, eagerly awaiting the training exercise.

Raina pulled out a bunch of the gil she'd won from the bottom, sure that'd she'd have enough. Sasuke, meanwhile, handed over 40 pompadillons he'd 'found' in his time here.

"A team activity, huh? That sounds great, actually!" "Here's my forms," Sasuke stated. "And my forms too!" Raina added. @Darkflare 'That's the guy Umbra fought back then!'

"Alright, thank you." "Could I get a set as well?" "Sasuke Uchiha. I arrived here just before you did."

"Yep, I'm with that group. I'm Raina Havenray, nice to meet you."

"I'm gonna go back and register at the front," Raina replied. Once Raina arrived at the lobby, she looked around trying to find Anna, when her eyes fell upon a pair of men. One of them was incredibly well dressed and had spiky hair, and the other was- Familiar somehow? He had smooth black hair, a black overcoat, and what appeared to be a sword sheath on his back... he looked with an intensity behind his one visible eye... "Have we met before?" he asked. "I... don't think so," Raina responded, confused. She'd never seen this man in her life, and yet - Where had they met before? "I see..."

Raina still had plenty of money from the arena winnings, she could easily sign up if she wanted. Lilith made a good point. It would be better to conduct a tour first. "I'll take the tour as well, if you don't mind."

"I've tried leaving the same way I've entered, but something's preventing me from leaving this world..."

'A link world?' Sasuke's mind turned first to Kaguya's Core Dimension, which enabled her to easily travel to any of her other realms... it wasn't quite the same. While Kaguya's Core Dimension had enabled easy travel to other worlds, no one had ever gone into that place unintentionally. "How often do people end up in this world? And are there ways to go back?" Sasuke asked. Candor City - Streets https://i.imgur.com/446wz9Q.png "Just about everyone who fights has magical abilities back home. Most people prefer to use magic to other abilities anyway, since that's what everyone has," Raina responded. "Lilith's fighting style wouldn't be too out of place in Fantasia, actually..." Raina thought out loud... Fantasia was a paradise separate from the outside world created for mythological creatures. If there were others, was Lilith from one of them? The crowd didn't look too thick. Raina guessed they could probably find their way through... but then again, the others might not be so patient to wade through the crowd.

Raina followed along. The locals seemed to have this under control, and reaching the Warrior's Hangout was more important than looking into this.

"An angel huh? That sounds interesting." "Don't worry Penny, we're still here," Raina said, her voice low but encouraging. The area looked barren compared to the previous roads... Candor City - The Warrior's Hangout "While I'm interested in those combat related services, I was more interested in getting some information about this world," Sasuke responded.

"Darkflare must be a pretty amazing guy, huh?" Raina could see the benefit of a guy like that. Candor City - The Warrior's Hangout Sasuke entered the Warrior's Hangout, finding the inside to be as high-tech as the outside made it appear. Quite a few people appeared busy with tasks, but Sasuke noticed a purple-haired maid heading his way. "Is there someone I could talk to for more information?" Sasuke asked the purple-haired maid... @Darkflare

Candor City - In front of the Warrior's Hangout The Warrior's Hangout, a building that was highly out of place considering the rest of Kalos. Given how important it was, it made sense to be distinctive. No sense waiting to go in... Candor City - Airship Port 'Wow... Candor's huge! It's even bigger that Kalos City was!' That high-tech building though... was that the Warrior's Hangout? She'd find out soon enough. "I'd be fine either way," Raina replied. Okan's gang... whatever happened with them must've been pretty terrifying if they were running up to that mech guard... As for Jin, Raina somehow had a feeling they'd meet again. If the rest of this adventure was any indication, strong people tended to attract each other, and Jin seemed like a tough fellow.

Raina followed the group to the cabins, having a few thoughts about the attack... someone from the inside helped them out? Worrying. The cyborg escaping meant that he'd probably come back later as well, likely as an enemy like Rufus.

"No need to tell me twice," Raina replied, following the rest of the party inside the ship. Her mind still turned toward Rufus... though the party had won, there was no guarantee they'd all be together if- no, when they next encountered Rufus. Raina could tell that man had every intention of following through with his threat...

Tommy had managed to avoid any confrontation with the pirates, and now he's here to join forces with the main party. "Hey everyone what's going on here?" he asked, pulling out his guitar, "and who wants some music?"
