@, @@Unicorncob,

Jack picked it right back up and narrowed his eyes at Raze. ​"Oh really, bub? Well guess what? YOU involved US, when you decided to kidnap my fan, ignore my best friend, nearly kill us all with your sword stuff, and to top it all off, destroyed TWO of my skateboards which were custom-made and cost over a thousand bits each. So you know what? That's just too freakin' bad, buddy. Double and I are looking for an answer and we aren't moving no matter what you say, and we can do this all night. So start talking, because my agents can and WILL back us up. Because Double and I....we ain't havin' any of that crap. Right, D?"

After receiving no response from the stallion, Zoisite watched impotently as Raze moved against the two colts.  Unsure what to do, he finally spoke up.

 

"I did not hear your name, but I must ask why you assault these foals," he inquired after some hesitation.  "Your actions do not seem ethical."

Double narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth in a snarl as Raze not only ignored her again, but messed with Jack's bat. Something that was against her rules. You don't mess with somepony's gear.

 

She tapped her hockey stick on the ground, harder this time out of frustration. "Right, J! And if you make a move on us, we'll mess you up big time! Straight in the gabber!"

He sighed, giving up.

 

"I don't have time for this," he said, telepathically telling Thanatos to pick up the hiding filly.

 

"I'm taking her to the hospital," he said, walking in that direction. He turned back once more to look at the crystal pony.

 

"I don't know what this power is... but I think I can control it now," he said to him. "You should stay out of this too. There are people who need to know why I'm doing this, but you're not one of them."

 

With that, he ran. Thanatos was floating above him on the rooftops, trying to stay out of sight.

Double snarled as she saw Rosalia get taken away by that creepy stallion. And ignored again!

 

Her patience had run out. It was go time.

 

With great speed, she flipped her backpack in front of her and exchanged her hockey stick for her baseball bat, and fished out a baseball. She skated after Raze and stuck her tongue out, closing an eye as she focused her shot.

 

"Let's see how ya like this, ya big creep!"

 

She tossed the ball upward and poised her bat, then swung with a CRACK that send the ball speeding right for Raze, pelting him right in the back of the head.

The disruption of his focus would likely cause him to drop Rosalia, and Double could speed in and catch her!

Jack smirked at Double, praising her accuracy even though it didn't do much. ​"Heck, yeah! Nice shot!" ​this time, he brought out his third and last spare skateboard from his duffel bag, and set it on the ground. ​"Come on, if we can jump over the ramp near the downhill road, we can cut him off at the plaza.

Raze felt the puck hit him in the head, and yet... it didn't hurt? He knew it should have been painful, but it felt like a tap on the head, instead of puck hitting him. At this point, he just assumed that this was all because of Thanatos protecting him. He kept running still.

Double huffed at her attack not doing much, and caught her baseball as it rolled back over to her hoof. She stuffed it into her backpack, and nodded to Jack as she put on her two other skates.

 

"I hear ya, Jackaboy!" She nodded, smirking determinedly at her friend. "Let's get 'im!" She sped off toward the ramp.

Jack started rolling on his board towards a construction ramp that was being used to cover up a nearby ditch. ​"This is gonna be a big jump! Grab onto me because you'll need to land safely over there!" ​He held out his hoof as he sped down the hill towards the ramp.

[Jack Baker 698]

As Raze was running, he began to feel a huge pain in his head, like the one he felt before when Thanatos first came out. He looked up, and he saw it start fading away. When it disappeared, Rosalia began to fall, and Raze quickly caught her at the last minute. The pain quickly disappeared. It seemed he could only have Thanatos out for a set amount of time, before he disappeared.

 

Carefully putting Rosalia on his back, he kept running towards the hospital... or at least, he wanted them to think he was going to the hospital. There was a corner he was going to turn towards, which he was almost nearing.

Zoisite once more observed as the ponies ignored him and and ran off.  He considered giving chase, but decided against that.  The outsider was beginning to dissolve anyway, as was his interest in the foalnapper.  Once more, his desperate thirst for knowledge had yielded nothing but an awkward situation.  Why did he even bother with ponies, sometimes?

 

Turning back towards the alley he had come from, he was about to throw the hood back over his head when he saw his sister pinned beneath the pony from earlier.  Hurrying over towards her, he stopped behind her, his voice calm and relaxing.

 

"There is no need for violence, miss.  We mean you no harm."

When she grabbed Jack's hand, they would pick up speed, and eventually jump the ramp and be high in the air. After which, a hang glider appeared from the back of the skateboard with a flip of a switch, allowing the foals to float in the air as Jack held himself to the board with his free hoof underneath. ​"Haha!

"That... is uber cool!" She squeaked.

 

She looked down at the hospital, and blinked. "You were? Really? That seems... um... why did he do all that if he was going there anyway then?"

@Unicorncob

Persistent. Very persistent. He'd be more impressed, if he wasn't being chased by them. The more he thought about it, he began to see how silly this was. Here he was, leading two kids around a wild goose chase throughout Bangcolt, with a frail and sick filly he had actually kidnapped. Agirion would never let him hear the end of this if he found out. He shook his head, then looked back. They were still hot on the trail. He needed a distraction, and he felt like he could someone Thanatos again, yet... he didn't want to. Not just because it was silly, but also completely over the top...

 

He rounded another corner, then finding a nearby alleyway, quickly headed through it, hiding behind a dumpster, hoping they wouldn't see.

Turning around the bend with his sleeping daughter in tow, Lorec's eyes widened when he witnessed Raze charging at him with all haste. Looking downward towards Sifana, whom had nestled quite comfortably into his arm, Lorec's paternal instinct became his prime directive. Not knowing who this was and what their purpose was for being in such a rush, Lorec's hand squeezed the harness of his broken zweihander's scabbard tightly. This Minotaur, beastly even among his own kin, brought up his left hoof, and then firmly planted it within the ground. The impact had been delivered with such force, that the resounding crack of cobblestone beneath him was akin to a gunshot. Immediately afterwards, a great stone wall, at least ten feet in height, served to bar Raze from his intended path. Jagged and thick enough to ward off even cannon fire, Lorec felt confident that this wall would cause the katana wielding pony to falter. Though, he also gave a sigh of an exasperated parent, considering that Sifana's eyes were now open, and looking at him in shock and confusion.

 

Jumping out from Lorec's arm, she studied the wall thoroughly, all indications of surprise now gone from her face. Turning to her father, Sifana inquired as to why Lorec had done such a thing. " Papa, why did you wall off the alley? Is something wrong? " Of course, her eyes widened as she was now realizing that she was viewing her father in perfect health. And not only that, he was no longer making any effort to hide the heavy scar tissue that pervaded his body with bandages. Running on sheer emotion, she ran up to her giant of a father, and attempted to hug his leg, only to be denied the luxury of a warm reunion by Lorec's icy glare, aimed directly towards the wall he had created. " Sifana. Get behind me, and pull out your dagger. "

 

Heeding His whim out of respect and fear of what lay beyond the barrier, Sifana ran around him, and reached towards the dagger that was strapped to her waist. Pulling out the blade made of boar tusk, she held it closely to her chest with both hands, her own eyes narrowed, and all manner of shivering having ceased. Even if not by blood, Sifana was truly her father's daughter.

 

Slinging the harness over his body, Lorec reached over his left shoulder, keeping his hand upon the pommel. Even if the sword were broken in two, it was still a force to be reckoned with as far as the average pony was concerned. Raising his voice, Lorec called out to the pony on the other side, allowing his voice to bellow sternly throughout the alleyway. " You there! Stranger! What is your business charging through the alleyway like a damn fool? "

Naga fluttered his wings weakly as he panted, tongue hanging out as the sweat dropped from his brow. Turning his gaze towards Caliber, the peculiar monk did not grace his friend with his usual, goofy smile and cheery demeanor. How could he, with what he had to relay to his dear companion? " Finally! Been Lookin' fer you over an hour, this monk has! "

 

Naga closed the space between them at a rather sluggish pace. With the amount of energy that Naga had exuded in the past, one would have found it impossible for him to appear as dogged as this. Clearly, Naga had expended all of his energy into locating the swordspony. Worse yet, whatever Naga had searched him out for must've carried a great burden upon the monk's mind, for he always carried a grin that was nearly indelible, currently nowhere to be seen. Now as close to Caliber as he had needed to be, Naga hung his head downward, his braided mane claking the golden rings that had been woven into it loudly. Still panting, he placed a hoof on Caliber's shoulder, and spoke with the tiredness of an overworked farmer. " Caliber... A storm be upon the high winds blowin' from the East... "

Kazas's smile widened, though he was shaking his head, much too humble to accept such implications of Vera's bold statement. " Vera, even if I played a part in bringing about the change, it was in you all along to do so.... I know that it is difficult for a heart to soften after having been in a predicament such as yours, but it can happen. And praise be unto Avae, that I was able to witness such a miracle." Sweet. Naive. Innocent. Even if these three factors were the pillars of a foolish optimist, there was no denying the charm that such a personality brought along with it. Kazas was all of these, and yet, there was still a layer to him that Vera had not touched upon yet. A side that, for the sake of all of Avae's beloved creations, Kazas prayed that he would not have to show her. The Kazas from the Leovian civil contention.

 

Lowering his eye to the hoof which he now held from across the table, Kazas, being the hopeless romantic that he was, brought it towards him with soothing gentleness, and placed a kiss upon it. Upon realizing what he had just done, Kazas chuckled at himself, shaking his head once again as he closed his eyes in embarrassment. " Forgive me. I know that this is what many Equestrians may refer to as, 'cheesy'. But I'm honestly at a loss on how to express affection otherwise. If I ever become too overbearing, would you inform me, Vera- "

 

 

A loud roar, that had to reverberate throughout the entirety of the city, pierced through the walls of the building. As every other head turned towards the direction it had come from, Kazas's reaction took a step further; he had released Vera's hoof in a flash, and had kicked the chair out from under him as to stand. His left claw shot towards the sword at his hip, and his good eye widened as he faced towards the direction that he had perceived the roar from. But what was most unpleasant about this new state was the small shiver that accompanied the griffon's reaction. It suggested a tinge of fear. A fear of loss that one had experienced before, but could never quite adjust to. He waited with baited breath, unaware of the eyes that peered at him from the other customers.

Raze stood in a bit of shock, as he noticed a Minotaur standing in the alleyway as well. With his bellowing voice, those two kids would probably find out something was up and investigate.

 

"I'm not here for you-- aw, screw it! I've had enough of this!!" He jumped over the Minotaur and reached the end of the alleyway.

 

I didn't want to do this cuz the filly might fall again... but I have no choice... Agririon. I need to get to Agririon! He had formulated a new plan in his head, and he took out the summoning gun and put it towards his head.

 

"Get me out of here Thanatos!" he said, pulling the trigger. The gunshot and glass shatterings sound could be heard, and Thanatos appeared about to pick up both Raze and Rosalia. He held Raze by the stomach as he adjusted to make sure the filly wouldn't slip.

 

"And fly gently!" he said to Thanatos as they both rose into the sky, moving away.
