  Lance: "Yea, sure thing, Twotters."

  Twortz: "What?"

  Lance: "I said, we need new lockers."

  Twortz: "Let's go." *She coughed and faced the ladder.*

  Lance: "Yea!" *He rudely power walked in front of Twortz and climbed up the ladder first.*

  Twortz: *She climbed the ladder in thought.* (With this comet, it's going to be very busy tomorrow.)

  ----------

  Luna: *She knocked on an expensive looking door, while talking on a mobile phone.* "Oi, Kerry, meet me at Fast Food Enterprise."

  Kerry-Anne: "Why?!"

  Luna: "Just do it, I think the mother finally PMS'd herself."

  Keryy-Anne: "Blahahaha! Rightio, I'll see you there-"

  Kylie: *She opened the door and instantly noticed Luna.* "Oi?"

  Luna: "Upto?"

  Kylie: "Bored.." *She revealed cuts on her arms, causing Luna to nod her head in understanding.*

  Luna: "Wanna come with?"

  Kylie: "Where?"

  Luna: "Fast Food Enterprise?"

  Kylie: *She shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't care.* "Watevs, not like anyone's home anyway."

  Luna: "Kerry will be meeting us there."

  Kylie: "I'm always up for an excuse to stay out all night." *She smirked and grabbed a coat from behind the door, allowing her to hide her freshly cut marks.*

  Luna: "Aha, know me too well, aye."

  Kylie: "Dunno 'bout you, but I got a hangover."

  Luna: "Shame!"

  Kylie: "You?"

  Luna: "I passed out all day."

  Kylie: "Blahahah." *She chuckled and closed the door behind her, slowly walking down the noisy street.*

  ----------

  *Rachael, Tyler and Ashton stood outside on the roof admiring the lively scenery around them.*

  Tyler: "W-Wow.." *He squealed on his breath and observed a nearby park, scratching a large oily pimple on his face.*

  Ashton: *He smiled at Rachael, causing her to uncontrollably giggle.* "What's so funny?"

  Rachael: "I was wondering.." *She spoke in a nervous-like manner, causing Ashton to pay more attention.*

  Ashton: "Rach?"

  Rachael: "Well. When my dad gets back to Dee Highs, I was wondering.." *She paused, as if she didn't know what to say.*

  Ashton: "Haha, Rach? Not having confidence is completely unlike you."

  Rachael: "Hehe.." *She giggled, taking a deep breath.* "Well, would you like to come with us on a next business meeting?"

  Ashton: "Business meeting? One of your dads?"

  Rachael: "Yeah. He usually goes overseas."

  Ashton: "Isn't he gone for months?"

  Rachael: "Well, don't you have years of annual leave?"

  Ashton: "Haha, I wouldn't say years."

  Rachael: "You've never taken a sick day, or holiday."

  Ashton: *He smiled and observed Rachael's facial expression.* (She must've put a lot of thought into this proposal.)

  Rachael: "Well, what do you say?" *She looked up and stared at Ashton, slightly avoiding direct eye contact as if she was worried what his answer could be.*

  Ashton: "Of course, I will."

  Rachael: "A-Awesome." *She gasped with a widening smile.*

  ?????: "Almost there says mum!" *She shouted in excitement, jumping onto the roof.*

  Rachael: "Melinda?"

  Melinda: "Mum says, you should be able to see the comet soon!"

  Rachael: "R-Really?!" *She gasped in amazement and skipped towards a telescope, which was hidden in the night's darkness.*

  Ashton: *He smiled at Rachael and opened a book, giving the illusion he was reading.* (Wow.. Spend a few months with Rachael.. I can't wait to tell Lance-)

  Lance: *He popped his head up and noticed Rachael looking through a telescope at the sky.* (Wow, the sky-) *He thought in a condescending tone, watching Melinda gloat about her mother to Rachael.* (Who cares-) *He noticed Ashton reading a book, as he waited for the comet.* "Oi."

  Ashton: "Good grief, it's Lance and Twortz!" *He put the book down, quickly helping Lance and Twortz up from the ladder.*

  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.*

  Cass
andra: "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, causing 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, ca
using 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?"
