Assassin
-Ahead-
-There is-
-It looks normal through your normal eyes-
-But with your magic senses-
-Something is tainted about that skyscraper-
Luffy and Kosuke
It's just a headache. I've been getting them every now and then.
And I mean, they suck but-
-Looks around-
Given the context, I don't really care.
-Kosuke-
Well, it's better than nothing.
-Stuffs it in his shirt-
Sora and Windos
-You can see a desert-
-Buildings half buried in sand-
-The sun in the sky-
-Green nowhere-
-Here comes the fortress-
-A few experimental arrows fly your way-
Kath and Gold
That's... odd.
Did you feel the demon die before?
Sam and Klara
-YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE-
-You see the dragon, after around thirty seconds, sniff the air-
-And blast where you stand with a stream of fire-
You know how to use it? Hopefully you won't have to.
Gil
-Death dissolves back into the shadows-
-Clearly running away like the mongrel coward that it is-
-Where it stood, there is something red, gleaming-
Steph
Yes. And back there, in the bar.
Silver and Luis
-Luis-
...
As do I.
Tell me of it. Your home.
Cloud
-The Demon strikes you in the face as you say that name again-
can't
-Viciously, this time, hard enough to draw blood-
-And it keeps on hitting you and hitting you and then-
Leave.
-It stops-
...
Such a battle goes against what you are, and you know it.
not f-
-There is another judder-
-And The Demon is gone-
Suzy and Lance
-Hector is silent for some time then-
Don't go downstairs. No matter what Paris says.
-He walks outside and speaks with his back turned to you-
He should be in here soon.

Well, if they get real bad don't be afraid to tell me alright?
-Holds up his Dolphi ring and taps it reassuringly-
I got us a quick fix for stuff like that. Now then!
-Pockets his ring again and HEEEEEEEENSHIN-
We goin' back out?
Yikes! Reflect!
-Throws a Reflect barrier up in case Gulldos doesn't pull away in time-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanI...
...
Heh... That's something I'm not sure I could give you a real, conscious answer to. I'm a writer, not a fighter? I thought you handled could handle it? I mean, those are both true, or parts of the truth anyways. But are they the real reason? I... look, even I don't know that.
...?
-looks at the gleaming thing, the thing that it left behind-
-The Ashen Blade warms slightly-
-it doesn't heat up super hot-
-but it feels warm, like something close inside-
{We are still here together. There is value in that.}

-You feel Nuru standing behind you-
-She doesn't say anything-
Imuka
... Could be. They're a rough bunch and like m- uhh.... what I'm saying is they might try and... defend themselves.
Luna
-The beastman tilts its head again and looks quizzically at her-
-It growls, but it is not a growl of aggression-
-It's almost as if you're being asked a question-
Assassin
-There is in fact-
-A veritable army at the base of the building-
-The strength of the mana signature is quite large too-
-But the sun in the sky muddles that reading somewhat at this distance-
Silver and Luis
Wow! Then you're in even more danger than us! Demons would love to get their hands on you.
-comforting-
-Luis-
... So. Was it the land that came before this one? Or are you trapped in a foreign nation like I am?
Gilgamesh
-It's-
-It reminds you, in some small way, of the grail-
-In another way it feels like distilled mana-
Sora and Winda
-The reflect works but-
Ah, wait-!
-They land, and Robin smacks his head against his forehead-
I said we had to go beyond here, to get to our destination! Quickly, back in the air, before-
-A squad of avian creatures whirl through the air above you, beginning to divebomb-
Steph
Of course I could handle it. But I can tell just by looking at you. You're not a normal human either.
But I would have thought you'd fight anyway. Do something, rather than just stand there.
-At her last words he grunts-
I suppose so.
Luffy and Kosuke
-Kosuke-
Guess s-
-Luffy-
-Standing outside is a member of The Human's demon army-
-With a suspicious look in his eyes-
... Boss.
Er...
-The Human slouches, looking as casual as he can-
Whaddya want?
...
Nothing boss. I was just standing guard to make sure that no-one would-
Tch. You think you need to protect me from these punks?
...
Klara and Sam
...
You're as useful as you say.
-He glances back at them-
Move. I'll draw its attention.
Lance and Suzy
-Hector leaves without another word-
-And you are alone together again for the first time in a while-
Kath and Gold
... For now we play along. Give him his money. But he'll have something we can manipulate him with. Everyone does.

Why didn't I fight... you mean that guy made of blades?
No? Then begone already from my sight, Death. I desire not to trouble myself with an eyesore such as you.
