Jack, having made his way through the crowd to where Rey and Luxanna stood, at last was able to speak his thoughts on Rey's poor handling of the duck. It seemed the situation was getting to him yet again.

"Please, we are all allies here," he reminded the other man sternly. "No good will come of taking offense where none was meant."

Then, he turned his mind to a happier matter, the reappearance of one of the challengers he had known from his previous experience. He bowed respectfully.

"While I am sorry to meet again under such circumstances, it is good to see you again," he greeted her with a little smile. "I am sure we will need your talents in the challenges ahead."

Stranger snorted in mild amusement at the cowardly reaction from one of the people. Approaching the remaining one, he spoke from behind him. "Has tha, crowd left tha, buildin yet?"

Animation Division, First Floor

The main desk- which the Champions had skipped when they arrived due to being with the members of the Animated Division- was being run by a a beautiful woman whose face was hidden by a tablet she was carrying. "Oh, yes." She said, looking at the two- even though they couldn't see their face. "We're closing for the night... but, of course you two could come in, officers. Is this referring to the people who came in here earlier? The ones we found at the fairy dust factory in downtown LA? Were holding them here until tomorrow."

Animation Division, Outside

"Wait, Erio!" Numbah One yelled, reaching out for his hand. "We've got pizza inside! If you want it you could take a bite!... Just thought you should know!" He stood there, watching his coworker run off, and raised an eyebrow at Stranger's appearance. "My my, aren't you a perplexing creature? And you're not a toon too. What crowd are you referring to?"

Nodding, Celty waited until Narancia had gotten off before kicking her own leg over the bike and stepping onto the pavement. Leaving Shooter parked by the road, Celty walked up to the building's front door, pushing it open and peering curiously inside.

"All right all right! Geez," Envy didn't try to do anything as Edward grabbed back his file. He didn't need too. He already knew much about the alchemist and even if that pipsqueak did some research on them, it's a bit too late for that as Father's plan is already in motion...

Walking away from the annoying girl armed with a threatening chainsaw, he made his way to the basement... until he makes sure that there's nobody around but him and that little pest. If Edward were to follow him, Envy stopped in his tracks. "You wanted to see me privately, right? Well then, here I am,"

Turning around, he continued. "So? What the hell do you want?" Just as a precaution, Envy had mentally prepared himself if another brawl were to erupt. Which is kinda what he was hoping, so that he has a legitimate excuse to mesh up the alchemist's face in 'self defense'.

— More of the rabble are here? Saren's scan had indicated that others were down there, but they hadn't registered specific identities that he was aware of. He resolved to ready his weapon systems in case any of them tried something stupid.

Saren leaned forward. —

" Yes, we believe that there was a misunderstanding which we need to clear up. They require debriefing. Where is the way down?"

— He looked around. For a place which gave employment to such colourful creatures, the lobby was rather plain. —

Stranger ignored the comment about him, mainly since he didn't know what perplexing meant, and jerked his head towards the building. "Tha, loud crowd in there. Sounded like a, bunch ah, chippunks in, matin season."

Edward sighed, leaning against the wall. "Listen. I completely despise you, you completely despise me, I get that. But if you remember what that old man told us back in this city, if we don't work together to stop Omega, our home is going to be destroyed."

He looked at his rustic automail, glancing at Envy. "Specially after all those years on the other side of the gate, although I'm thinking you don't remember that. Envy, I know I already foiled whatever plan you and the other homunculi had, but if we don't work together, we'll be trapped here... forever... together. And I know you would completely hate that."

Edward held out his flesh hand, trying to muster up a smile. "So how about a truce. I stop trying to kill you, you stop trying to kill me. I'm ready to accept you as a fellow... coworker if it means saving my home and those I care. Deal?

Envy just stood there, completely dumbstruck; his eyes narrowing as he stared at the alchemist long and hard, finding it hard to believe what he was hearing...

... which resulted with Envy bursting out laughing after a few moments, as though he was hearing the funniest joke he ever heard while trying to catch his breath. Once done, he regained his composure. "... You're joking, right? Old man? What does Hohenheim has anything to do with this?" ' And, to be frank, you didn't exactly foil Father's plan. Yet, anyway, ' mentally noting to himself, Envy pondered. Something doesn't seem quite right here....

"... Although it'll be quite troublesome if this Omega were to destroy our world. Plus, I already had the experience of being stuck with you once, so that's definitely not an option." After carefully reconsidering his proposition, he begrudgingly accepted the handshake. "If that means I won't be seeing your face all the time and get back to our world once this is all over, then you've got yourself a deal," ' Though I can't promise anything about the ones you cared being safe once we do get back..., ' Thought Envy, imagining the sheer look of the alchemist's face once Father's plan had succeeded. Needless to say, it was pleasant.

Fumio came out of the showers, now dressed. She shot a dirty look to Edward and Envy as she walked past them. And then she ran into Cloud.

No, literally. She was so busy glaring at the duo who had interrupted her peaceful shower earlier that she wasn't watching where she was going, and walked right into him.

Thud.

"Ow!... oh, there you are," he said, rubbing his face. As far as bone-on-bone collision went, it was at least better than someone's fist. "I — er — sorry, I'll just —" he sidestepped, hoping to every single god he could think of, real or not, that Ed hadn't just seen that.

"Ow... Ooh, Sorry, Cloud. I didn't see you there..."

Mainly because I wasn't LOOKING, but we don't need to get into that right now she thought.

Che rubbed her forehead, wincing slightly.

"So, um... Did you get any of the pizza?"

Little Tokyo

In the depths of the the Committee's building interior, a single lamp was giving off a small area of twilight amid the murky blackness. What few features one could see near the lamp were not only several signs that the original owners of this building had left it a long time ago (replacing it for a much better building in downtown Los Angeles- a place where Eastern and Western toons could go to without being attacked), but also a cushion- no, a gilded sofa of some sort. Two pairs of legs originated from the blackness- one with red high heels and spread wide open in the masculine manner and the other one primly set together in a pair of striped stockings. Both were unmistakably those of the female gender.

"...Aw, you aren't the delivery boy...." A disappointed and tired voice remarked, ending with a sigh. The red heels twitched a bit before settling down again.

"Haven't you heard of knocking?" A sharper tone of voice remarked, this time belong to the owner of the stockinged legs. Sounds of munching interspersed between every two words could be heard.

Sara Bellum nodded as she started packing her things into her purse. "Walk into the lobby, make a left and go down the stairs. They're all in the basement, having dinner." She said, a lamp cleverly hiding her face from any angle as she picked up a few papers.

"I'm not talking about that old man, I'm talking about Yee. The one who told us to stop fighting." Edward said, grunting. Why was he even trying to explain it to this bastard? When he accepted his handshake, he grinned, and accidentally allowed Envy to see that one of the files he was carrying under his arm belonged to the homunculi. "Great. Now, excuse me, we humans have this thing we need to do every day. It's called sleeping." He said, lightly punching Envy's shoulder and grunting good night before walking back to the basement and to one of the beds.

On their way, he did spot Cloud and Fumio. Instead of walking up and talking to his new friend (and risk getting a chainsaw to the face), he simply stood far behind Fumio, gave Cloud a thumbs-up and grin, almost as if saying go get her, tiger as he walked to his bed, chuckling. If he got there with no problems, he'd immediately drop down on the comfiest-looking bed, remove his shoes and socks, let his hair loose, pull up his sleeves and get to reading on his file.

Narancia got off the bike and set the helmet Celty gave him on the seat before following her to the front of the building. He peeked in with her, looking around at the seemingly abandoned building. He spotted the four legs off to the side and raised an eyebrow. "I dunno, have you heard of locks?" He shot back.

Cloud went a bit pink and scratched his neck. "No, I should've been paying a —"

And then he saw Edward's gesture, and the pink deepened into a bright red. "...ah — a-attention. Um." He glanced around for a distraction that would allow him to escape. No such luck. Damn you, Ed!

"Did, um... did you have anything to eat?" he stammered. "They have, um... food. To eat. Here. In the... building...." Kill me. You have a chainsaw. Kill me and end my misery.

Issei Hyoudou had been having an okay day at school. Like usual, he went about his daily life joking and enjoying time with his friends. After classes ended, he spent his afterschool hours at the Occult Study Club, manned completely by Devils. They were different beings from the human they lived among, and yet at times more humanlike than what they imitate.

After enjoying his stay, the highschool student then went about on his job. As a Devil, it was his job to grant wishes of Contractors for prices. Oftentimes, he would just keep someone company or go out and buy them something from the store since his inherent magical abilities were rather subpar.

All of a sudden, a brief bang occurred about him before warping the boy off of his bicycle (the chief mode of transportation for magically disabled Devils). Unlike the others, Issei Hyoudou came out of a crimson summoning circle- the design showing off the five pointed star and runes that concerned the House of Gremory. Blinking once, the uniformed Asian took out a notepad and flipped through its pages. "Are any of you my new Contractor? I can't do anything like snap my fingers and make a car appear though, I'm rather a rather low rank."

Fumio blinked in confusion.

"Um... Yes. I did. The pizza I was just talking about. Did you have any? Need to keep your strength up if we're going to fight Omega and get back home! ...Um, are you okay? You seem, er, flushed."

"No, yeah, I'm fine," he said, perhaps a bit louder than necessary. "I ate. It was good. Just, um... yep. Fine. Just, um... uniform. Meant for cold weather. It's warmer here. A-are you warm?" he choked out, going a bit more red with each passing moment.

Sora lay on a nearby couch,staring at the ceiling. He considered just going to sleep right there- It had been a long day, after all.

Suddenly, a bright red light filled the room, generating a large spell circle.

"Huh?" Sora turned towards the light. A boy in a school uniform came out of the circle, and asked if someone in the room was his Contractor.

"What's a Contractor?" Sora asked, making it rather clear that he wasn't the one that summoned Issei.

— Saren was honestly quite puzzled. Didn't would-be polite humans understand the value of eye contact? Then again, Toons in this world, even if they looked it, weren't quite human. He shook his head, and moved on to the lift, waiting just long enough for the Doctor to enter before pressing the Basement button.

On the way down, the Turian steeled himself for the imminent encounter. Mysterio was guaranteed to be his goofy self, yes, and still able to defend himself when prompted. Neither of these characteristics worried him. What did worry him was Mysterio's altered brain pattern, growing clearer by the second. Had the man tapped too deeply into his power? Despite his training with Crownguard and Mysterio, magic still wasn't his field. He had little idea what this change could mean.

No matter. Greeting and chastisement first, questions later.

The elevator doors opened, and Saren strode out. He ignored all else, making a beeline for the purple/gold indicators until they were in visual range. Once he could see them, he stopped. Saren stared at them for a moment, processing their continued existence, and then spoke, his tone neutral. —

" Hello, Mysterio. Hello, Crownguard."

Again, Garland was having little luck against the opponents at first. His weapon was not truly bladed, and thus he wasn't able to do much more than hold them at bay. When he saw the makeup of the creatures from the explosion however, he changed tactics again, sending repeated homing fireballs towards as many of them as he could.

Each creature recently had been vulnerable to only one or two weaknesses. If the pattern continued, he might have to try as many things as he could to figure them out.

"Well..." Scratching his head at having to describe what a Contractor was, Issei wished he had the club president's elegance and grace. As it was, he was already doing things awkwardly. "Contractors are people who summon Devils like me, eheh. Then I show up and do their requests for a bit so I can build up my Devil Points. There's some pretty nifty prizes in the catalogue that I wanna get." Looking around the room, the teenager's brow furrowed before he turned back to regard Sora. "Is this a cosplay event?"
