"He'll be able to find his way here, as long as nothing happens to him. However, shadow clones aren't very sturdy. If something happens, it could pop away into nothing."

 

I thought it was something like that.

He snatched someone's bag, in front of authorities and made quite a scene about it. Seems kinda stupid...unless he "wanted" the attention. To send a message perhaps? Who knows? Either way, let's get back to Melina and the others.

Sasuke's shadow clone arose out of the ground, bag in hand. He quickly handed the bag to the original Sasuke before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

 

"The crook had some accomplices," Sasuke said as he took in the memories from the shadow clone.

...Aaaand he just rises from the ground. Wow. First...I'm definitely using the wrong fighting style. Secondly...that's amazing. I take it you see what he sees? I'd prolly use that to do something silly like train in multiple disciplines at once or eat at all of my favorite restaurants at once. Hahaha!

 

Anyway...let's get going.

 

LightFlare leads the others back to where they left Melina and the rest of their party.

"If the clone pops, the original will receive its memories," Sasuke's clone said.

 

He followed the others back to where everyone was waiting.

LightFlare and the others reunite with the rest of the party. 

 

Melina! You didn't spend ALL of your money did you?! Haha!

 

Hey guys! Penny and I did a little shopping. Just a couple of essentials. Isn't that right, Penny?

Penelope, who was now holding a toy sword and a pair of boxing gloves, nodded and smile in agreement. If excitement was visible as an aura, her aura would swallow up the entire world. Even if the sword was just a toy, she was most excited to take it for a spin. If only this stuff was not as important!

Penelope: Sure did! I can't wait to try this stuff out and go practice like Lilith said! I'll get good with it in no time!

[Darkflare]

"Looks like you had fun. We just finished up and are about to head back."

I'm sure you will, sweetie. And once you've completed basic training with Lilith...

 

...you can train with a real fighter.

 

 

So she's training with me?

 

"Ha...ha" Real funny, Light Bright.

 

Heh...

Yeah. We got a quick glimpse at the castle. You guys ready?

"I'm sure I can ask Darkflare if he knows someone that can give you proper training. Of course, you're going to have to decide on what your fighting style is going to be first."

Could she not just go for both? She saw that in animes all the time, so it had to be possible! It's like what her mom said...what was that thing her mom said..."Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one"? It made sense to her!

Penelope: Weeeeeell...I was thinkiiiiiiiing...maybe I can dabble in...booooooth? Or even mooooore? The more, the merrier, I think!

That's the spirit! Nothing wrong with a little versatility.

Yeah. We're done here. For now at least. Lets head back to the Hangout. Maybe Darkflare has some new info on the creatures amd whatever else is going on around here.

 

Those guards might still be surrounding the premises. Guess we'll see when we get there. Let's role, Penny!

 

LightFlare and Melina begin walking back towards the Warriors Hangout.

I see. Wisdom. Well...good thing I practice 10,000 kicks 10,000 times then. Practice does make perfect, ya know.

Penelope: I really hope everything's alright over there...

 

She followed along, making sure to stay close to Melina!

That made a lot of sense to her as well. But both styles looked so cool in her mind! It was going to be really hard to pick one, but if she absolutely had to pick one, fighting with a sword was definitely a lot cooler in her mind.

Penelope: Weeeeeell...I guess I'll have to stick with swords, then! But maaaaaybe with a little boxing on the side? Just in case I...drop my sword or something. Not that I will!

Really?! If he could do that so much, then maybe she could actually become a sword master! She just had to practice! A lot! A lot...on dummies? Or people? Maybe Darkflare could let her use that training thingy for a while?

 

Penelope: Then I guess I just have to practice a lot when I get a chance!

 

The guards, meanwhile, were very interested in Sasuke and his unusual technique. They seemed to be interested in talking to him. The noble, on the other hand, quickly made his way back to where he belonged: with the other wealthy members of the city. He was probably going to replace the bag despite already getting it. In his mind, once that filthy peasant got his grimy hands on it, the bag was contaminated and needed to be cleansed. His gloves especially were going to be washed and bleached several times over to remove the grime he believed that peasant carried.

"Not a bad idea. Having something to fall back on in case you're disarmed is a wise decision. I just hope you stick to it, because this won't be easy."

Penelope: Ehh, it won't be that much of problem!

Will it? Will it?! Probably not, but if she had to practice as much as Lightflare did, she would probably collapse before she could even get to fifty strikes!

We'll if another one of those creatures show up, at least we'll have some backup I suppose.

Indeed you will, young lady. And Lilith is right. It won't be easy, but as long as you keep that same enthusiasm you should have the drive to press on. 

 

After some time, the group were near the Hangout....

Upon approaching the Hangout, they would see that the guards and the barrier that was previously set up was now gone. Things were also quite clean in the area, and it looked as if the creature was never even there before. Not even the building that was visibly damaged in the incident was damaged.

Penelope: Wow, they sure cleaned up quick! It..you guys did fight that thing, right? Because this almost makes me think it was just...a dream or something. I didn't even know someone could work so quick!

The only telltale sign that something did happen was that the new bricks to fix the corner of the building were much brighter than the old bricks of the building. Not even the goo was present anymore.

That was fast. We were only gone a couple hours but with how we'll they've cleaned up it looks more like a couple days. These guys clean up like they work for a "secret service" organization.

It was definitely no dream. The hole in that building is gone but the color of those bricks mean that they are definitely new. So that hole was there...even if it were only a couple hours ago. But how did they get the permits, assemble the crew and fix this in a couple hours? The only men that were here were the guards.

 

You don't suppose they cleaned it themselves? I mean of heard of crime scene investigation and forensics...but this was on a whole other level.

 

Based on what the young man...Abraxas, if I remember correctly...said earlier, they've encountered these things before. I guess they have crews on standby all over the city. Either way, looks like we're free to come and go as we please when it comes to the Hangout now. We'll go in, Lilith will complete her task and we can see if Darkflare has learned of any new developments.

[Darkflare]

"That man from earlier did seem to be pretty high in the ranks. Light might not be off in them having a cleanup crew on standby."

 

Upon entering the building, the group would find that everything seemed to be back to business as usual much like how things were when they first entered.

 

"Back from sighseeing? Figured you would take in the sights more before coming back."

I think we will, but this situation is strange. I can't seem to just ignore it. Especially since I went toe to toe with one of the creatures and know just how dangerous they are. Not to mention based on Abraxas's intel, these creatures potentially get stronger with each appearance. 

 

Let me guess. The "Hero of Kalos" is thinking about becoming the "Hero of Candor", too?

 

I guess old habits die hard...

 

So Dark? Did you see who made the repairs? It must've been crazy around here. That was a lot of work in a short amount ot time.

[Darkflare]

"I had my hands full taking care of business here that I didn't see anything outside. Monster attacks aren't exactly something that happens often enough to know how the authorities handle such situations."

 

"Looking to be a hero again, Light? I recall last time you had plenty of help and you knew who the enemy was."

 

"Light, do you even have a plan? We don't exactly how much to go on regarding what's going on."

I did have quite a bit of help last time. I haven't really seen them since then. I don't plan to just jump into a battle with these creatures...

 

Light? You do realize you literally just did that a few hours ago?

 

That was different. He started it

 

Well next time I'm gonna have to put you in time out! Hahaha!

 

I'm worried that if these things keep getting stronger we ALL might be getting a "time out." Maybe I should take Dark's advise and check out the sites. 

 

(Besides...I'm sure if I stick around I'll discover some new leads...)

 

So, Lilith? How bout you.? What will you do now that you've not only met Darkflare but work for him as well. It seems your destined to live your life this way. I guess it's like I said...

 

..."old habits are hard to break."

[Darkflare]

"She hasn't fully agreed to work for me. Besides, I don't want to pressure her into a decision."

 

"I'm interested, but I think we should discuss that in further detail. With that said..."

 

"The first thing I'm going to do Light is tell you not to waste your time. You sae how well cleaned up the site was. You could barely tell a monster attacked."
