Krith snorted. "I can't tell you why, not that I even know...
"Once again, we face each other." The Fang member who had spoken turned to face Henry. His suit seemed to be made of a thousand tiny mirrors, creating a strange demented reflection of Henry's own form. The room itself had several dozen lights imbedded in the walls, floor and ceiling, all of them...
The very same Kingsbury stood not far away, watching Suleiman with an unreadable expression. It was not any exaggeration to say that without Matias' help, this expedition would not be leaving today. His contact with his new captain had been digital up to this point, but she had been impressed...

Albert's frozen hands moved like lightning, grasping Cryojet's suit. Just as quickly, in a move reminiscent to judo, Albert slammed Cryojet into the ground and quickly pinned his opponent.
"I have to thank you," he said, the words slightly slurred due to how cold Albert was. "You see, the...
La Campanella rose into the air on a whirlwind, the possessed objects tossed about like the rabble they were. The shopping complex had multiple buildings and an outdoor plaza that connected them. From her height, La Campanella could quickly oversee the entire complex. Chaos was reigning...
Such brazen confidence, to deflect a strike from a swordsman like him with a simple kunai! Or was it a backhanded insult that Musashi would dare test such a warrior as he? Either way, Musashi was impressed.

"I know the basics," Trent said cautiously, not wanting to get into too much detail...
"Yeah sure, why not?" Trent said to Shangren. "We're definitely going to be one of the winning teams, so jump on board while you can."

Musashi glanced at the nearby Taku, and his eyes hardened for just a moment. A strike, a single sword blow, was aimed directly at Taku's nape. It was all...
A thought occurred to Albert. He let the cold air wash over him as he cut down the output of his energy.

"What do you mean, a t-test?" Fiona stammered, as Aika's ethereal cape billowed. Wind circled around them, keeping the various instruments and other possessed objects at bay. Other shoppers weren't faring quite so well, trying to shield themselves from the craziness.
"We have a bond, you and...
"The girl from the club," Musashi said, his eyes noting Min-Ji as she passed. It took him only a moment to remember her name. He called out to her. "Min-Ji!"
He raised the flask of sake he held in one hand. "Care for a drink?"

Trent smirked a little. "If one of the boats has a bunch of...
"Aika," Fiona said, trying to remain calm despite the situation. Unfortunately, Aika ignoring her wasn't helping. She repeated his name again, louder this time. "Aika. Stop it already!"
"Bah," Aika grumbled, only half-glancing at his human companion. "Why should I?"
"You're making a scene,"...
