Re: Runic

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne kept running after this detective character guy joined them, telling them where to go. The red orb was helpful too. Wayne got his body ready for battle. He was going to kill that lady. No one kidnaps the friends of Wayne!

[Rose Hathaway]

Sam woke up strapped to a table. Her head hurt like hell. "Wha- What?! Where the hell am I? LET ME GO!" she screamed, tugging at the straps. She was still in her hospital gown.

"I'm sorry dearie, I'm afraid I can't do that. I need you to hold still so I can kill you as slowly as possible." Jane emerged from the shadows, this time wearing a tank top and the pants from that suit from before.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"You're a human and you're too involved with Runics. My job is to get rid of them."

"Some caseworker you are."

"It's just a cover, sweetie."

"Don't you sweetie me, bitch." Sam glared at her now.

"Aw, don't be so mean. It's for the best."

"Can you at least tell me where I am?"

"Oh, you're in the basement of a candy shop. Thought you'd like to smell it and not be able to eat. Just some more torture."

"You are surprisingly creative."

"Thank you."

"Not a compliment."

[Shadoe Mayari]

"Here," Andrew said as they approached the candy shop. He led the group around the back, where there was a large, noticeable crack. He looked back at Kaizo and frowned. "You're cooperating with me, whether you like it or not."

Kaizo rolled his eyes and the bandages on his arm began to unravel. "Yeah, yeah..."

Paper dolls slid through the crack, into the basement, followed by Kaizo's bandages.

[Book the Hero]

James was right behind them, his hands beginning to light up with fire.

"...Wayne...I don't think it'd be a good idea if you and Isabella went down there with us." He said, concerned for the two's safety, as he doubted they would be able to protect the two, and defeat the Runic at the same time.

[blackoutEquinox]

The rescue team ran through the parking lot to a nearby candy shop. Wayne followed Kaizo to the back to where there was a large crack. Kaizo's bandages went through followed by the other guy's paper dolls. Then James told said that Wayne shouldn't go with them and lost his temper a little bit. "Screw you I'm going down there!" Wayne waited for the opportunity to run in. He knew how to fight, he had learned to fight quite well at the home he had spent most of his life. He was ready to kill.

[Rose Hathaway]

Jane had the knife to Sam's throat right as the paper dolls and the familiar bandages came in. Jane seemed to sense them as Sam merely noticed them. "Fuck!" she snapped, and a shadow seemed to move and cut the bandages and dolls off.

"Oh shit just got real, bitchy lady." Sam said with a smile.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"You can't hide from me," Andrew muttered, pulling out a pair of glasses out of his coat pocket. He squinted through the glass, scanning the room. "There's an entrance over there, under the dumpster." He looked over at James and frowned. "You be careful as well. Your power's pretty destructive on its own."

Kaizo nodded and began to push the dumpster out of the way.

Isabella was a little way's off, watching the whole ordeal. I wish I could help...

[Book the Hero]

James began helping Kaizo push it out of the way, before rushing through the entrance. They couldn't afford to waste time.

[Rose Hathaway]

As James walked in, Jane glared at him. "I strongly suggest you leave, little Runic." she snapped. "And take your friends with you."

[Book the Hero]

"I'll leave...once we have Sam back." James said, rushing forward towards them.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Kaizo fell in after James before drifting around the side, trying to get behind Jane.

Andrew then began to bark orders at them, telling them when to dodge and when to attack.

[Book the Hero]

James follwed Andrews orders to the letter, quickly making his way over to Sam.

[Rose Hathaway]

Jane casually threw up a shadow shield as the boy charged. "You seem to forget you're a new Runic and I'm older and more experienced. I will crush you like a grape." she said nonchalantly.

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne had charged in last and saw what everyone else was doing, Wayne listened to what Andrew had to say and tried to circle around Jane on the opposite side of Kaizo. Jane's shadow powers startled him a bit. Had she always been a runic? The thought distracted him a bit.

[Book the Hero]

"Don't really care!" James shot back, a huge fireball crashing into her barrier, as he moved even closer towards Sam.

[Rose Hathaway]

"Back off right now or I kill her right in front of you!" Jane screamed, picking the knife up off the floor. She pressed the tip into her neck to show she was serious. She turned to Andrew. "Ah, Andrew. How nice to see you again. Have you found that Runes piece yet? I might be tempted to let the human girl go if you hand it over...." she winked flirtatiously at the older man.

[Book the Hero]

James frowned, stopping in his place. "You bitch..." He said, really wanting to kill her.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"A Runes piece?" Kaizo looked genuinely surprised. If that's the case, then we have to destroy it...

Andrew shrugged and adjusted his glasses. "I have found it, but I have yet to retrieve it... If you hand her over alive, I'll tell you where it is."

[Rose Hathaway]

"How about this? You write it down on a piece of paper, and we'll do an exchange. You hand the paper over, I check to make sure you're not pulling some form of trick on me, I leave and the girl stays. Fair enough?" Jane pulled a small notepad and a pen out of her pocket and threw it to Andrew.

[Book the Hero]

"Who says you won't just kill her once you have the info?" James said.

[Rose Hathaway]

Jane dropped the knife on the ground. "Feel better?"

[Book the Hero]

James continued to frown. "You could still use your Rune ability."

[Rose Hathaway]

"My Runes can only be used for defense. I can't kill anyone with them." Jane shrugged.

[Book the Hero]

James just continued to frown. "...I still don't trust you...but fine."

[Rose Hathaway]

"You're a smart boy then. No one ever should trust me." Jane smiled.
