Advent stopped in mid stride "Are you two waiting for an invitation?" he asked throwing his hover board before jumping onto it "This place will be a hot spot soon considering what I just done." he lowered his and sighed it was almost as if he was depressed over, he held his hand out "Come on Chloe, my board can handle us and since Zaki has his skates that leaves nothing left to chance." he wasn't kidding around, that was obvious "If you want the details I can give them to you, but for now lets haul ass."

What type of weed has he been smoking?
Her eyes flick from his outstretched hand to the hover board and back before sighing, if he meant what she thought about this place coming a hot spot, than might as well do as he said, even if she didn't like the idea. Picking up her labtop and taking his hand, Chloe stepped up on to the hover board before glancing back at Zaki with a 'might as well as see where this takes us' sort of look.

HAYATE

"...I suppose that would work as well." Hayate reached out to shake Roland's hand, but stopped and muttered, "...Erm. Not...not to be impolite or such, but...I don't think that's the best idea." he struggled awkwardly to shove his right arm through the sleeve, cringing.

Roland slipped his hand back into his pocket. "Well do you even know where you might go? I mean you can't exactly go back to your base anymore." He walked over to the door leading out of the medical wing and waited for Hayate to follow.

HAYATE

He sighed. "I...don't know. I'll just find a place to camp out for a bit, I guess. Or maybe find a way into an abandoned apartment room. I am not sure if I'll be welcome back...to...the shops...anymore."

Hayate blinked a few times.

"...Wait. Shoot. I still need to go back and get my mask...But I'm sure someone's probably stolen it by now...I mean, the filter should sell for a decent amount, haha..." He trailed off and buried his face in his bandaged hands. "Maki will be so pissed off at me, huh."

Advent smiled looking to the two "Someone tried to hack into something I didn't want them to so I created a virtual world within the network to give me enough time to back trace and create a virus." he said his board getting higher as he held onto Chloe as he moved forward getting out of the area. "I changed the name of the file they where after and replaced it with the virus..." he shuddered a little it was clear he really hated viruses "Such horrible things they poison the spirit of the machine... I just hope the machine spirit forgives me for what I done." he said with a sigh moving forward faster.

"Where was I?" as he tried to get back his train of thought "Oh yeah, this virus when opened will crash the pc that opens the file and any technology near it that it's linked to." he said with a sad smile "Such a waste of life..." it almost sounded as if he was talking about a family member dying. "I covered my track as normal no one will know it even came from this country... tI just want to get out of here just in case of cops... they are a little to arrest now ask questions later." he sped up not exactly sure where he was going but stopped suddenly as he seen lights going out in another part of the city "Forgive me."

Makoto unlocked her SUV and hopped into the driver's seat. She sat there for a few minutes and took out her phone again. She played with the phone for a moment, before the voice of the GPS came to life. "Hello, please choose your destination."

"Locate Tracer."

The navigator traced out a route to Jayden and Chloe's flat. It would take her less than ten minutes to get there. Makoto turned the key in the ignition and left the Police Headquarters.

Roland laughed slightly. "Ah I forgot. Maki left her shoes at my place the other day. I could have you give them back to her so she isn't so mad at you when you see her next."

Roland led Hayate out through the front entrance of the police headqquarters. Ignoring the sideways glances and glares from the hunters.

HAYATE

"That might work," he muttered under his breath as he followed Roland out, averting his eyes from the looks from everyone else. "...Wait. You're telling me that I have to be her bellboy and bring the shoes back to her? I don't even know if I'll meet her anytime soon." He groaned softly.

Makoto followed the GPS's trail, and parked the SUV a block away from the flat, avoiding any chances of Jayden recognizing the vehicle. She got out of the SUV, and approached the front door of the flat.

"Shit, a deadbolt." The deadbolt stopped her from attempting to kick the door open or breaking the lock with her knife. Hm...I guess I can use that. Makoto walked back to the SUV, and took out the McMillan rifle and a clip of ammo she stored in the trunk. Not wasting any more time, she loaded her rifle and stood across the street and aimed at the lock on the door. Her finger pulled the trigger, and fired a single bullet that took out a small portion of the deadbolt.

Makoto slung the rifle onto her back and approached the front door once again. It only took a small amount of force to break whatever was left of the lock and open the door.

Unknown to Makoto, a pair of green eyes were watching her from the shadows, an unamused frown on the person's face. Okay, so Avalon had not listened to Chloe, but these days, when did she ever? And she knew from the start, she didn't like this chick but like really? What give this bitch the right to literally violate the only home Avalon had known? Guess I'll wait and see what she's after before I do or say anything?

Chloe listens to Advent as he explains what he meant, "It's not the police we have to worry about, it's more or less the hunters." she says in disgust.
Great, I knew he would cause more trouble returning. He's like a fucking time bomb waiting to explode.

After grabbing the cup of coffee and sitting down at his desk, shifting the pile of reports and files that had accumulated during the day, Jayden presses a button to wake the slumbering computer up, I hope that kid is going to be okay.
A small smile crosses Jayden's face, if Roland did what he thought he was going to do. He only had arrested him to prevent him from getting his ass killed, besides Hayate had to survive so Jayden could return his mask back to him in the first place. He had picked it up before they left the scene, he knew what it was like to have a cherished possession, his was still sitting in it's spot of honor on his bed. Good old Badge. Turning his attention back to the screen, he gets back to writing up the report.

Makoto slipped on her half-mask as she entered the flat. She closed the door slightly, and walked into the kitchen. She grabbed a plate from the sink and walked back to the front door, placing the plate right on top of the door. I wish I had a claymore or something.

She walked down the hall, passing a room that produced almost incoherent grunts. ...that must be the third roommate. I really wonder why he didn't come out to check out what I did to the door. I'll leave him be, he's not what I came here for. She continued down the hall, and found two doors at the end. Makoto took out her pistol, flipped the safety off, and opened one of the doors. She cautiously entered the room, and found a desktop computer on a desk next to a bed.

Makoto closed the door behind her, and approached the computer. She pressed the spacebar a few times to wake the computer, and a log-in prompt popped up on the screen. Forget this. I can't hack a computer right now. She unplugged the computer, turned it onto its side, and fiddled with the frame until it popped open. I'll take this. Her fingers pinched several wires and pulled at them until the hard drive was unplugged. She slipped it into her pocket and reassembled the computer as it was before she dismantled it.

After slipping the hard drive into her pocket, she started searching the drawers, taking a few USB drives and CDs she found. She left the room, grabbed the plate from the door and placed it in front of the other roommate's door, and left the flat.

Makoto hopped back into her SUV, placing the items she stole and her rifle onto the passenger seat. I'll analyze those later. Maybe I'll have another Hunter look at these. She started up the engine, and drove away.

Roland shrugged then called for a taxi. "Its not like you have to do it. Just thought you'd like to bring them to her." He sighed as the taxi pulled up. "Take this kid where ever he wants to go." Roland payed the driver and opened the door for Hayate. "If you want you could head to the shrine district. Some of the old monks who take care of the shrines that are still standing take in people from time to time."

HAYATE

"...I guess I'll stay there for a while, at least until things maybe...settle down a bit. Or at least until II don't get the urge to do things that I've tried to stop myself from doing ever since I joined the Gang..."

He sighed.

"...Thanks. I don't know why you're doing all of this for me. It's kind of you." He closed the door, turned towards the driver, and asked to be taken to the Shrine district.

Kimiko sat atop of a small building looking down upon the city streets watching people stroll by. Her feet were dangling off the edge and like a small child she was swaying them back and forth thinking to herself, trying to remember all the things that led up to this wonderful day how she became the newly appointed Ryuujin of the Vampire skulls.

This was a marvelous day for her indeed, all the hard work she did all the sucking up everything it all helped her. "Well i guess i better get to the base and see who im working with." Until this day Kimiko was used to working behind the curtains doing all the things for the Skulls but never able to see the actual base, the ideas of what it would look like danced through her head, her imagination was running wild.

Kimiko stood from her perch and proceeded to walk to the ledge of the building where a ladder was dangling off the side. Why waste my time jumping around when i can just walk on such a lovely day. She released a small giggle from her throat and climbed down to the ladder onto the street of which she was just looking down at walking down the street following the directions that had been discreetly given to her.

FORZ

Forz shielded his eyes from the glaring brightness emanating from the streetlights as he pulled into an underground garage. A few minutes, he trudged back up the stairwell and walked two blocks to the Skull Hunters headquarters. He approached the iron-gridded doors and shoved him thumb up against the fingerprint scanner, then peered irritatedly into the camera nearby. The all-too-familiar screeching that followed told him that the headquarters had not gotten a technology upgrade in five years.

After all the locks had opened themselves and the doors had slid open, he strode in, trying to ignore the guards that still somehow made it into his peripheral vision, even under the lowered visor of his hat.

When did we recruit so many seemingly-unexperienced...teenagers?

He turned a corner, then another, then took the stairs two at a time until he found himself at an unmarked door. He knocked, then, without waiting for a reply, marched in.

"...Commander. You asked for me," he muttered, not looking straight into the seated man's eyes, clasping his hat to his chest.

"Yes, I did, Resner. Take a seat."

"If it is possible, I prefer to stand."

The Hunter Commander shuffled through his papers, then finally peered up at Forz from the files.

"Well, I guess the ones who do well here must have their own quirks." He cleared his throat. "The situation has become much worse after you left us five years ago, Resner, as you must already know. I need you to...clean this place up. As for the bigger pieces of trash that aren't quite as...disposable, I'd recommend that you bundle them up and drag them back here. We'll deal with those where it's more convenient."

Forz blinked. Five years was a long time to be gone from a country. "...Will that be it?"

"Yes. You may leave, Resner."

Forz bowed stiffly, clapped the hat back on almost over his eyes, and walked swiftly out.

I'll check out my room tomorrow when my luggage arrives.

It wasn't long until Makoto returned to the Skull Hunter Headquarters. She drove into the underground garage and parked the SUV. She put on her jacket to cover the scars on her neck, and grabbed the memory drives she stole from Chloe. The Hunter stationed at the checkpoint was a different person, saluting Makoto as she stepped into the elevator. She pressed the button to the lobby, and the elevator ascended slowly.

The elevator doors opened. Makoto walked to one of the agents sitting at a desk. She placed the hard drive and various disks and USB drives in front of the man "I need these analyzed. Send me everything you find onto my phone." The man nodded, and Makoto left him to do his job.

Makoto noticed a man in a black coat and hat walking towards the exit. I've never seen him before. He looks like a police chief. She walked in his direction, trying to intercept him. "Excuse me." Makoto stood in front of him, narrowing her eyes and trying to look into his from underneath his hat. "Who are you."

Waiting till she was sure Makoto was gone, Avalon hurries to the flat, stopping to glance at the damage done to the door. It was one way of getting in.. still I'm not covering for that bitch.. Pushing the door open, she walks into the flat and stops seeing the plate outside of 'King Kong's' room. What the.. is she trying to feed King Kong?
Ignoring the usual grunts that came from the room, none of them rarely saw King Kong in person, he was what Chloe called 'antisocial' when she was not banging down his door screeching at him for eating all the food in the flat, Avalon heads toward the last two rooms, one was Chloe's room and the other was a guest room through they barely had guests besides from their Uncle in a blue moon, Megan or whenever Zaki decided to crash at their place for the night.
Noting the door was open, Avalon peers into the room, her eyes scanning over the desktop and other items in the room, not noticing anything missing but decided to leave the actual search for her sister. Chloe is gonna be pissed.. Avalon knew her sister hated when people went into her room without permission through she was going to be double pissed at Avalon, not that Avalon gave a right care..

Finally finishing the report and printing it, Jayden takes a sip from his cup of coffee, ignoring the looks that the Hunters left in the station gave him as he shut the computer down. I guess the Hunters are not use to people from Britain? he quietly muses, standing up to collect the papers from the printer and searching for a folder to place the report in. Or are they not happy that I interfered with one of their own on a job? Either way, Jayden could care less, as long as the Hunters didn't bother him, he wouldn't bother them.

Mizuki had seen the news about the flames and even the hunters broadcast afterwards, it's true that it worried her but at the same time it didn't. "Why am I getting so worked up? It's not like Candy skulls are easy to recognise with all the lolita and anime lovers around.... if it was that easy every one bubbly and cute would be under arrest." she giggled to herself as she found a tree to sit under "Not even the hunters or the cops would be that stupid... although..." she giggled again thinking perhaps she was over estimating their intelligence.

Placing her Bokken down, she took off her white messenger bag looking to the sky for a second "Training was really tough today, it's almost like my teacher is trying to do me some serious harm." she sighed placing her hand onto her bag bringing out a small bento box, a bottle of water and a picture. Looking down to the picture she couldn't help but smile "You where such an idiot then Will... I wonder what your doing now... Do you think of me? I think of you often." her thumb rubbed over the boys cheek lovingly a few tears welling in her eyes as she thought of things of her past.

FORZ

He stopped mid-stride, glaring at the woman in front of him. "...It is none of your business." He made a move to sidestep her, but she followed just as quickly, then clenched his jaw as he tried again.

...Why does she care?

Reluctantly, Forz pulled his wallet out of his coat, his gloved right hand covering most of the information save for the first two lines and the small photo next to them.

CLAUDE RESNER
AFFILIATION: SKULL HUNTER

Suddenly remembering the low-hung visor, he lifted the hat off his head to prove he was the same man as in the ID.

Kim walked down several streets until she reached a small park, She was thirsty and the nearest place to drink was either the coffee shop, Which was asking to be caught by police or hunters if you entered there. Then there was the small water fountain in the park to her right, She went for the obvious choice and made her way to the fountain.

Kimiko pressed the button on the fountain down to create a shining arch of cold water that sprayed out of the machine, she bent over holding her skirt down so no pervs would stare her and took a long drink of water. It was at this point she saw a beautiful blossom tree, She had to go check it out although she was part of the vampire skulls and was supposed to portray a role of darkness, she loved all kind of plants and flowers.

She made her way over to the tree grabbing a limb and gently pulling it down as far as she could, then letting go watching the limb spring up and gracefully drop petals around her, they were beautiful.

Mizuki looked up feeling another's presence her hand instantly going to her Bokken instinctively her head tilting to the side allowing her short platinum white hair to fall to the left "Hello there..." she said warmly quickly putting the picture away in to her messenger bag. "You you care to join me for a snack?" her hand pointing to her bento box, before going into her bag and pulling out another bottle of water holding it to the other girl.

"O-oh?" her eyes going up to a blossom that seemed to opening "A new beginning, it's so wonderful to see..." her voice was warm almost endearing, her eyes moved to the other girl "A sign of a new friendship, my name is Mizuki." she giggled tapping the ground beside her for the other to join her.

Mizuki smiled giggling a little as the other took the water nodding to what had been said "It is a wonderful day not just to be sat under a blossom tree but to make new alliances so to speak." she opened her bento box and held out a set of chopsticks to Kimiko "I get called moonlight." she chuckled a little her eyes moving to the side a little as she sighed, though tilted her head slightly as she watched how the other's body moved "Don't worry I won't tell anyone about that weapon your concealing." she giggled "The world is a dangerous place after all... especially with that horrible explosion." she sounded genuinely distressed about the matter.

Seeing how the other drank the water she giggled in a friendly manner "You must of been dying of thirst, do you train or was it because of the heat we are having recently?" she asked moving her hand to bring out another set of chopsticks. Quietly she began to eat a little her eyes lighting up as she swallowed "This is really nice! I'll have to get my ingredients from that shop again." she sounded really excited.

Mizuki looked to the other watching how she war reacting a wide smile on her face "Oh, I seemed to have startled you I do apologise. Your body language gave it away, just like your eyes are letting me know you are unnerved by me." she giggled before taking another bite to eat, her eyes observing the others movements for a moment a smile on her face as she seen the marking on the others neck "Ah, a Vampire." she stated after swallowing "I do hope you had nothing to do with the explosion." she looked down concerned "So many bodies in the ground, so many voices never to make another sound." She really did hate how people did go around taking out people who never needed to be taken out it was just plain stupid in her mind.

"I train myself, my teachers are starting to take me onto full contact at the moment... the training is so intense." she said laughing a little, but then she knew because of her looks it was hard to believe that she could be dangerous, but this was a fact she used to her advantage. "You should keep some water with you, I always take more than I need to be on the safe side." she said thoughtfully "We could even meet here every day and have lunch if you want." a wide grin on her face.

Makoto looked at the ID and compared the man's face to the portrait on the card, trying to keep an image of him in her mind just in case she ran into him in the future. Claude Resner. Looks like a cop, has an attitude, probably a foreigner assigned here.

She let out a sigh, and stepped out of Resner's way. "You can go now."

FORZ

I...can...go? She's rather presumptuous... Forz shoved the hat back on over his matted hair and pocketed the ID, then stepped around the female Hunter. But then again, he was an outsider of sorts.

He sighed to himself as he walked out of the main entrance. There's nothing much to do tonight...I might as well get myself acquainted with this place again...I am sure much has changed.

He flicked open the map on his phone to find the nearest coffee shop.

Roland shrugged. "Just think of it as an apology for always knocking you out." He waved slightly as the taxi pulled away and took Hayate to the shrine district.

Roland spun on his heel and walked back into the police station. He saw Jayden rummaging through his paper work. He pushed his way through the hunters. Some of which were yelling profanities at him but he ignored them. "Jayden... Come with me a sec."

Mizuki looked at her with a bright smile as she said she had nothing to do with the bombing, her eyes closing though as the smile was removed and a solom look replaced it "Do you believe the announcement, that the skulls had something to do with it?" she asked, she knew the candies had nothing to do with it, it just wasn't their style, she doubted the techs would have anything to do with it as they where more into cyber terrorism where the damage could be maximised without the worry of living casualties, so wondered if the skulls did actually have anything to do with such an event.

Mitzuki was entranced by Kimmy's eyes for a second and for that time she actually seen what an ideal world was, a bright smile returning to her face. When the trance ended her hand went to her head "S-sorry I must have started to daydream." she giggled lightly a little embarrassed that she allowed it to happen. "I must have trained so hard, but it was a wonderful daydream." she let out a sigh and nodded wrapping her own pinkie around Kimmy's "What time? I have collage, training and dance classes." it would be tough but she would make it every day at the specified time "I'll even bring food and drink." it had been so long since she made a friend out side her own group that she was glad that this friendship was even more special to her.

HAYATE

Hayate thanked the driver and got carefully out of the taxi, ignoring the driver's curious glances at his lack of shoes. Making a mental list of all the things he needed to borrow (Hm...shoes, a shirt, a hairtie...) he started to scout out a decent place to stay.

Some yelling from a good distance away startled him. What's going on...? Curious as ever, he followed the shouting and rubbed his eyes in surprise, forgetting himself and cringing from the pain that shot up his arm.

Why...is Maki here?

Wait, I can actually use Resner. Makoto tapped her chin with a finger, and waited for Resner to leave the lobby. Several Hunters whispered amongst themselves, probably commenting on his outfit. She walked to the door, and grabbed it before it could close.

Resner was standing outside of the Hunter Headquarters, staring at his phone. ... Is he looking at a map? Makoto sighed again, and called out to the other Hunter. "What, are you lost?" She knew she was probably pissing him off, but she didn't care. "I have something you might be interested in."

FORZ

So...just a block south and two west. He noticed that the other Hunter had followed him, and stared at his phone for a few more seconds, mentally willing her to turn around and leave. A few seconds passed.

He ignored her first question, instead replying, "If it is not for my job, then I don't need it." He pulled the visor down further, turned on his heels, and started towards the shop.

Fine, suit yourself. I'm not going to waste my time on you anymore. Makoto turned back into the Headquarters, and passed by the Armory. She lost her MP7, and picked up a replacement before returning to her SUV.

I'll go check the Shrine District again. Makoto equipped her armor and hopped into the vehicle, and drove out of the garage.
