Ah... I see it now. Thank you... er... just hold that thought and close your eyes, don't let go of my other hand.

Magus disentangled his left hand, and got his key out. He then turned the key on the door, and they were back in the alleyway behind the cafe. He shut the door as he led Umbra out.

Okay... open your eyes... it looks the same as when we left... but... we should probably find a newspaper..

Umbra looked around in the garbage; sure enough, there was one on top. "I think I've found one. Now to see if we didn't just teleport here... Well, in any case, my stuff might not have been found yet, so I could try and loot my old loft either way.

I'll go find a newspaper to check the date.

Magus reluctantly let go of Umbra's hand long enough to grab a newspaper that was lying around, once he had one, he showed it to Umbra.

"Does this date look right to you?" he asked her.

Umbra read the date, looking it over once... then again... then a third time. It can't... Crap. Umbra shook her head. Failure.

Umbra did the math in her head. 13 years, 7... 6? Oh. "If I remember what Minus said correctly, we didn't go back at all." She sighed. "Crap... Looks like we're stuck here...

"Are you all right?" Magus said with increasing concern, "I think that's the third time you've done that... that you've repeated yourself twice in a row."

Umbra looked at Magus with concern. "Mag, erm, Geoff, are you sure that the teleportation didn't affect you? I didn't say anything twice." I hope he didn't push himself too hard...

"I'm fine," he answered, "Really? Are you sure? I could've sworn... Oh well."

Magus opened the door back to his Sanctuary.

"Well... this leaves option B," he said, "We go back through to one of the landmarks I remember, and work our way back to here... the earliest one I have was a few hours away from Bright Grove."

Minus laughed when his blade connected to Oliver's weapon. He noticed a flash beside him as he tried to stab him in the stomach. He took a step in his attack radius, having his blade miss him and curl his arm around him. When he was close enough, he raised his hand up, ramming his white hand into his chin. The attack did almost no damage, but he smiled, "Drain"

His arm glowed slightly, radiating a white light as Oliver convulsed, the blade that was around Minus fell to the ground and his energy arm disappeared. He laughed loudly as his face drained of colour.


Ashe slashed down the last goon, it was just a shallow wound, but it was enough to stop him for a while. He took a deep breath and looked around, his daggers both dripping with blood. He had taken out the rest of the muscle, and was surrounded by 3 writhing dying bodies.

He looked back, to see if everyone had left yet, he saw 2 large holes, one leading straight into oblivion underneath, and the other a hallway. One person still stood there, it was the girl who introduced herself before, Charmer. She was frozen with shock. "Charmer, get a hold on your self, Either run or help me" he called to her.

Before he could get an answer, he heard a loud smash together, Minus's blade hitting Olivers. His eyes went wide as he started to drain the energy straight from Oliver. He sprinted at him, trying to go around him and slash up his back.


Minus threw Oliver onto the ground, leaving him almost dead, as he saw a newer and fresher enemy appear. He moved his sharp and red hand, pointing it at him. Light appeared at his finger tips, it was the same as Olivers attacks. It shot out a large javelin as he called out "Reject"

"Would you mind if I checked my old loft for supplies first? I kept all my Umbra stuff stowed away, so I think there should be enough left for me to restock." Umbra lifted her bared arm for emphasis. Seriously, it's weird only walking around with one glove.

"Sorry," Magus replied, "I forgot... Do you want me to wait here for you... or should I come with you?"

"You can come along if you want to, but you'll have to wait outside. I doubt the place has been left unoccupied." Umbra began heading off in the direction of the loft, without the usual sneaking; it WAS the future, after all. Why should she care if a past burglar is connected with a room someone left years ago? Being away DOES have a few advantages.

Magus followed Umbra until she told him to wait. He heard a few rummaging sounds.

Thankfully, whoever lived there was out, and the landlord too lazy to move the furniture after her tenancy lapsed. It took only a few minutes to get what was needed: Some burn treatment, a right glove, an extra baton (to replaced the scorched one), a chain - Shinobi had wanted her to learn the weapon; she'd never quite figured it out but took it as a backup - and some other minutiae. Thankfully, there was nothing specific to Umbra in there, disregarding the coloring.

After resealing the remnants (habit), she snuck behind Geoff. "Okay, I'm ready."

Ana looked from Ashe to Oliver, he was right, she had to snap out of it and do something. She knew one thing for certain, she wasn't abandoning the boy fighting Minus in front of her. She turned her attention to Oliver.
Now that Minus was fighting Ashe, Oliver had fallen to the floor. Ana went to him and dropped down to her knees.
The man, who looked around 30 was still conscious, though he was also very pale.
"Oliver?" Ana said in a soothing voice. "My name's charmer, I can help you... Will you let me touch your face?"
The man seemed unable to move much so Ana placed her hands on his temples and began to assess the damage. Much of his life energy had been drained. It would have been fatal if Ashe hadn't distracted Minus. Slowly Ana began to use her enchanments, letting her life energy change and mold into his own. It was difficult. That man's power must have been great because it took almost all her strenth to push her energy into Oliver's body.
Ana began to glow, her flesh slowly turning white as Ashe's fight continued behind them.
Fearing their safety in this vulnerable state Ana used more of her energy to create an energy shield, just strong enough to hold off stray attacks from her and Oliver.
She clenched her jaw as her head began to ache and she began to feel weak. She could feel a tiny amount of blood dripping from her nose, probably caused by the amount of pressure she was putting on herself.
Colour seemed to be coming back into Oliver's face and she could feel his energy levels returning to normal. She turned her head slightly, feeling very weak. All that she could do now was watch Ashe fight and hope for the best whilst focusing on the shield around her and the man on the ground next to her...

Magus jumped in surprise, but then chuckled softly.

"You enjoyed that didn't you?" he said as he led her back into his Sanctuary.

Once they were inside, he wrapped his hands in hers again to re-establish the connection between them.

Okay... here's the best I can do. There was a rest stop about two hours away from town. We'll have to hitch-hike from there, if I have the timing correctly... we should arrive back at the Cafe about twelve seconds before we were abducted.

Very much so. But all joking aside... Sorry for not being able to take us back. Umbra stated; whether or not it was actually her fault, she felt it needed to be said. Especially since she benefited from the failure. In any case, we need to get going. We don't know when hostiles might show up.

Ashe dived out of the way of the javelin, it slammed into the ground next to him, breaking the ground, causing it to crack violently. He thought briefly about a head on attack, but then remembered what happened to Oliver. He dismissed it and kept circling him.

After circling him a bit, he became dizzy, so he stopped since Minus had stopped firing at him. He put the speed blades away and took out two new blades, one being a boost in tactics, the other one for intelligence. He saw it quickly, 'That'll work...' he thought to himself, and began his plan as quickly as he could.

He sheathed the blades and pulled out to new ones, one to increase his throwing abilities, the other a blank slate. He put his hand on the blank weapon as he had to jump out of the way to avoid another lance sent at him. The new blade had a black circle around it, and his vision blurred the second it was done. He threw it quickly, and his vision returned almost instantly. He then turned and ran out to cover the others, trying to make it to where Charmer and Oliver lay, hoping to have enough time to pick him up and leave.


Minus laughed as the blade flew at him, he stepped out of the way and caught the blade. "You call this an att..." he didn't finish the sentence as his vision began to go blurry, and began to worsen quickly, soon his vision was almost completely black.

"What?" he said to himself.

"Negative Sight Blade, wouldn't a future man see that coming?" Ashe called out at Minus as he ran over to Charmer and Oliver.
"What?!" Minus yelled out again, he dropped the blade and raised his hand in the general direction of where his voice came from. His vision began to clear, and he screamed out as loudly as he could, "Reject!" as his hand glowed bright red. It launched a massive amount of fire in the direction of the group, aiming to incinerate where Ashe was.

Relief washed over Ana as Ashe's attack took effect. The boy began to run over to her and Oliver. His face seemed concerned as if asking if they were alright.

Ana stood on extremely shakey feet and allowed herself a small smile. Suddenly something caught her eye and the smile was immediately wiped off her face.

Minus was recovering from Ashes attack, and as the boy stopped in front of her, his blue eyes bright with adrenalin, Minus began to create a massive fireball, aimed straight at Ashe.
Instincts took over, her eyes widened and she felt the need to protect Ashe.

She summoned her remaining energy and made her palm reach behind Ashe and face Minus. With all of her energy she created a shield. It was so strong that it created an aura just large enough to protect Ashe and devert the attack away from herself and Oliver.

Oliver stirred behind her, and Ashes eyes seemed to widen in realisation. The last thing that she saw was Ashe reaching towards her. After that her world faded to black.
