  Twortz: "Ah, thank you, Ashton."

  Ashton: *He smiled, watching Twortz brush dirt off her hands.* "Anytime."

  Lance: *He took off his backpack, holding it in one hand.* "Well, I'm here."

  Ashton: "Thank you for coming, Lance."

  Lance: "Yea, it was nothin', aye." *He walked over to the ledge of the roof and unzipped the backpack, revealing a carton of eggs.* (Aha, you little shits are going to get it-)

  *Ashton nudged Lance, knocking the carton and eggs onto the ground.*

  Lance: "But-" *He looked down to his feet and stared at the cracked eggs with disappointment.*

  Ashton: "Unacceptable!"

  Lance: (Well there goes the fun.) *As he zipped up the bag, the stone shined in his face.* (Oh, the crystal-) "Hey, Ash."

  Ashton: "What is it?" *He walked over to Lance.*

  Lance: "Well-" *He paused, nervously sighing to himself.*

  Melinda: "Oh my gosh!-" *She spoke on her breath, staring at the sky in disbelief.*

  Lance: "Wat I really did today was-" *He was interrupted by loud screams and yells in the background.*

  Melinda: "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! You can see it in the far distance!"

  *Rachael and Melinda jumped up holding each other's hands in excitement.*

  Tyler: *He stared at the comet with his mouth open in amazement.* "..."

  Ashton: "Tell me after this, yeah?" *He gazed upon the red dot, as he walked up to Melinda.* "Excuse me? Do you mind if I take a look?"

  Lance: "Wateva." *He mumbled and folded his arms like a child.*

  Melinda: "Go ahead, that's why I brought it hehe."

  Ashton: *He closed one eye and looked through the telescope.* (Wow, I've never seen flames swirl like that.)

  Rachael: "Could I take a look please?"

  Ashton: "Sure-" *He smiled and stepped to the side.*

  Rachael: "Hehe, thanks." *She smirked and leant forward into the telescope.* "It's so pretty."

  Twortz: "Hmm?" *She looked up at the sky and stared at the dot.* "What's so special about a comet?"

  Rachael: "Take a look and see for yourself." *She moved her hands and presented the telescope to Twortz.*

  Twortz: "Okay, if you insist." *She stepped forward and looked through the telescope.*

  Melinda: "Well?"

  Ashton: "The fire is amazing, you agree with me?"

  Twortz: "The comet looks like it has markings on it, like pictures or drawings." *Her constant bored face changed into astonishment.*

  Rachael: "Pictures?"

  Melinda: "Drawings?"

  Twortz: "Do you hear that violin?"

  Ashton: "I don't hear anything?"

  Lance: (Sceldrant's Comet.) *He stepped forward and stared at the red dot in a trance-like state.* (I feel something from it.)

  Ashton: *He quickly glanced around and smiled.* (The area was filled with constant chatter and yelling, and now it's completely silent-)

  *The atmosphere started to bend and warp due to the comet's presence.*

  Twortz: "The colours are dancing in the night sky." *She looked astonished, as she spoke out of character.*

  Melinda: "Wow, it is amazing." (No wonder why my mother never shuts up about it.)

  *The party focused all their attention to the swirls of aurora lights, they failed to notice the flickering light in Lance's backpack.*

  ----------

  Cortax: "You don't have to do this!" *He shouted, noticing the area light up around Kath's hands.*

  Victoria: *A purple sigil-like glyph drew itself on the ground around her.* (Lehi and Elizabeth are taking ages.. But they should almost be here. I can sense them.)

  Cortax: (My love, make haste-)

  Kath: "We will deal with the masters, you and number two will strike down the others." *She spoke in a stern, professional-like manner, catching Cassandra's attention.*

  Cassandra: "Ma'am?"

  Ridley: "This will be exciting." *He smirked in a condescending-like manner, watching glyphs form under the dancer's feet.*

  Kath: "Understood, number two and nine?"

  Cassandra: (Number two-?)

  *A woman flashstepped in front of Cassandra, causing a swirl of dirt to blow around her.*

  Cassandra: *She stared at the woman's platinum armour in shock.* (Number two! Nancy, the feeder.)

  Nancy: "Understood, ma'am, sir!"

  Ridley: "Ha ha, such professionalism!"

  Nancy: "Cassandra-" *Two small green dragons suddenly materialised on each side, causing her to smirk with growing confidence.* "Let's slaughter them."

  Dancer: "As if!" *He shouted with an echoing voice and danced to the side, causing a spiral of air to swirl towards Nancy.*

  Cassandra: "Number two!" *She flashstepped next to Nancy and swayed the sword to the side, visibly slicing the spiral of air in two.*

  Dancer: *He watched the wind blow Cassandra and Nancy's hair to one side.* (She sliced my air current!)

  Woman: "I got this!" *She hopped on each leg, causing sigil-like glyphs to spiral around her.* "AIR SWIRL-"

  Nancy: "Dinner's ready." *Her words queued the dragons to flashstep on each side of the woman, causing Cassandra to gasp.*

  Cassandra: (Her Scoldrants can flashstep?!)

  Woman: "No!-" *She screamed, as the dragons bit her body in two.*

  Dancer: "No!" *He shouted in terror, watching the blood splatter around the dragon's mouths.*

  Nancy: "Leaving me all the work? How will you earn experience?"

  Cassandra: "Tssk." *She gritted her teeth and stood in a battle-ready pose.* "Ougi."

  Nancy: "Ougi?" *She smirked in a curious-like manner, looking over her shoulder to Cassandra.*

  Cassandra: "Dragon's Gate."

  Nancy: "Dragon's Gate?" (That's said to be the strongest sword art!-)

  Dancer: *He bent his knees and started to dance from side to side.* "I don't care what you use, you're in our city!" *He shouted with an echoing voice, watching a red glyph form underneath him.*

  Nancy: *She smirked, watching all the dancers focus their attention to Cassandra.* (Protect her.)

  *The dragons responded to Nancy's thoughts, causing them to flashstep around Cassandra.*

  Cassandra: *She looked at the dragon's, looking slightly intimidated.* "Uh?"

  Nancy: "You've paused your Neurons. Continue the attack, they will not harm you."

  Cassandra: *She took a deep breath and lowered the sword, causing the air to warp around it.* "The strongest sword art."

  Dancer: (Those Neurons!-)

  Cassandra: "Harh!" *She jabbed the sword towards the ground, causing an eruption of fluoro red, dragon-like heads to wave from the sword's tip.*

  Nancy: (Excellent-)

  Cassandra: "I'm sorry..."

  Dancer: "Everyone, use your strongest Remenistal! FLAME BOLT" *He shouted to the dancers and pushed forward, shooting four fireballs at the fluoro dragon-like heads.*

  Nancy: (Do you really think Remenistal of that level would stop that Ougi?)

  Dancer: *He watched the fireballs explode on the wave of dragon heads, causing him to gasp with widening eyes.* (It did nothing!-)

  Nancy: *She watched shards of ice, rock, wind and fire hit into Cassandra's attack, causing her to chuckle in an envious-like manner.* (Even I'm jealous of such a powerful technique, bwohohoho.)

  Cortax: *He listened to the dancer's screams, causing him to step forward.* "That technique is killing-"

  Ridley: *He stepped in the same direction as Cortax, catching his attention.* "If you step in, so will we."

  Cortax: *He frowned at Ridley.* (Damn the Astragons!)

  Nancy: *One of the dragons growled, causing her to smirk.* "Looks like two survived."

  Cassandra: *She took deep breaths, trying to contain her exhaustion.* "Survived my Ougi?" *She spoke in disbelief, focusing her attention on the growing dirt cloud.*

  Nancy: "Just do it again."

  Cassandra: *She nodded her head and stood in a battle-ready pose, caus
ing the air to warp around her sword.* "Ougi, Dragon's Gate."

  Nancy: (Unless the Consultants demand our help, we will ensure no pawns get in the way-)

  Cassandra: "Hah!" *She jabbed the tip of the sword into the ground, causing a wave of fluoro dragon-like heads to wave towards the dirt cloud.*

  ?????: "Ougi." *A woman hummed on a soft high note and a pulse of silver wind blew from her mouth.*

  Kath: "It would seem the other masters are here, Ridley."

  Ridley: "Oh dear-"

  Victoria: (That Ougi, it's Elizabeth!-)

  Nancy: *She squinted her eyes, noticing silver wind blow inside the dirt cloud.* (What kind of Ougi produces silver wind-?)

  ?????: "Angelic Celestic Siren."

  Cassandra: "Huh-?" *Her eyes suddenly glowed silver, causing her to awkwardly sway her entire body.*

  Nancy: "What are you-?!" *She watched the wave of red dragon-like heads, rumble towards her.*

  Nancy: *Her eyes suddenly glowed silver and she jumped out of the way, quickly spinning around.* "Ougi, I summon the maelstrom of death!-"

  *Nancy crossed her arms, causing a massive aurora coloured pearl to materialise in front of her.*

  Ridley: "How sneaky.." *He spoke on his breath, watching the wave of dragon heads rumble towards Kath.*

  Kath: "Direct manipulation? Interesting-" *She casually spun around and slapped the wave of dragon heads with her bare hand, causing it to crash to the side.*

  Ridley: *He felt the ground rumble, as the dragon heads faded into nothing.* (Superb.)

  Cassandra: (Sh-She slapped my Ougi away?!) *She squirmed and gritted her teeth, as if she couldn't control her body.*

  Kath: "Rather weak for a captain levelled warrior."

  Ridley: "I concur."

  Kath: "Although-" *She glanced at Nancy, listening to thunder rumble in the sky.* "Nancy's Poly Zap is a powerful passive summon. It could hinder our plan."

  Ridley: "No need to say anymore." *He smirked and stepped to the side, pushing his hand in the captain's general direction.*

  Elizabeth: *The dirt cloud settled, revealing Lehi and Elizabeth standing in the courtyard, staring at the bodies in disgust.*

  Lehi: "Our.. City?"

  Ridley: "With my power open the dark gates, silently gather and consume the hate, MANIPULATE, DARK STATE"

  Nancy: *Yellow, red and blue glyphic rings spiralled around the pearl, queuing her to raise her arms.* "Poly Zap-"

  Ridley: "The folly." *He smirked and flicked his wrist up, causing a wave of darkness to erupt out of the ground, slamming into Nancy and Cassandra's stomach.*

  Elizabeth: *She gagged, causing her eyes to revert back into their blue colour.* "H-He.."

  Lehi: "You alright? Your Astragons distorted for a moment."

  Elizabeth: "I usually deactivate my Ougi before something bad happens, but I wasn't expecting him to knock out two captain classed warriors in one attack like that." *She spoke on her breath, watching the captains fall face-first into the ground.*

  Ridley: "Well, looks like it's just us."

  Kath: "I thought we were going to attack them already?"

  Ridley: "Despite our power, they are masters. I thought it would be wise to have the captains deal with the lower classed dancers-"

  Kath: "So we don't waste our Neurons on weaklings."

  Ridley: "Precisely."

  Kath: "An expert point of vision." *She smirked and tightened her fists, causing the flames to brighten.*

  Ridley: *He watched Cortax, Victoria, Lehi and Elizabeth form a square around them.* "Despite what I said earlier-"

  *Ridley raised his arm and watched shadow swirl in his hand, causing a black sword to suddenly puff into his grip.*

  Ridley: "ROTTING SWORD" *He lowered his arm, watching shadow swirl around the sword.* "Let's dance?"

  Cortax: "Their Neurons, they're readying to attack." *He shouted, causing Lehi, Elizabeth and Victoria to stand in battle-ready poses.*

  ----------

  *Luna and Kylie walked past Fast Food Enterprise, making their way towards the back door.*

  Luna: *She looked into the store, noticing the lights from machines on standby.* (The mother hell went crazy, aye-)

  Kylie: "Blahaha." *She giggled in excitement, catching Luna's attention.*

  Luna: "Wat's up?"

  Kylie: "Just.. The pills.. I'm gettin' excited."

  Luna: "Yea, I know what you mean! It's like-.."

  Kylie: "Somethin' to look forward to?"

  Luna: "Yea! Aha." *She chuckled with Kylie and walked to the back of the store, noticing Kerry-Anne already waiting for them.*

  Kerry-Anne: *She held an alcoholic bottle in one hand and noticed Luna and Kylie, causing her to smirk.* "'Sup?"

  Kylie: "Gah, started before us, aye?" *She sounded impressed, looking at the bottle.*

  Kerry-Anne: "Yeayah." *She smirked and leant off the wall, screwing on the lid to her bottle.*

  Luna: *She stopped next to Kerry-Anne and sniffed the air, instinctively leaning back.* "Blah, your breath?"

  Kylie: *She looked at Luna intrigued and leant forward, sniffing the area around Kerry-Anne.* "Kerry, when did you start drinkin' again?"

  Luna: "Aye?" *She nodded her head in agreement and looked at Kerry-Anne, waiting for her answer.*

  Kerry-Anne: "Started? No-"

  Luna: "But-" *She pointed at the half drunken bottle in Kerry-Anne's hand.*

  Kerry-Anne: "I haven't stopped."

  Kylie: "Blahahah, nice!"

  Luna: "Aha, yea!"

  Kerry-Anne: "I try, I try." *She smirked in a confident-like manner and turned around, facing the back door to the store.*

  Kylie: "How will we get in?"

  Luna: "I wasn't too far away from my stupid brother, so he probably went through-" *She stepped forward and opened the back door, causing Kylie and Kerry-Anne to chuckle in evil-like manners.*

  Kylie: "Are yas thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
