[Central City]

[Machine Corps]

Jordan was still running towards Garage A. He managed to get inside, and he looked around for the figures he had seen. He spotted a terrified mechanic hiding behind a desk, and he frowned. That man was no soldier, and Jordan did not think he was a target.

So he decided to get to work. They had to disable Amestris tanks and jeeps. He was about to do that, when he noticed a door to Garage B. He approached it, and as he did, Winry saw the shadow coming.

Winry bit her lip, and fired the tank! She closed her eyes, wincing as she did it. She hated the idea of actually killing someone, but she was scared.

The tank shell hit the wall and exploded, and Jordan was thrown to the ground. Luckily, he was alive – but his helmet fell off, exposing his face.

“Ugh…”

-Ankh-Morpork-

Streets

“She decided to stay with that guy...to control her powers,” Cess told Shimera. “I guess we just need to go then...”

Cess sighed. He wasn't sure what to do now...

Xehanort smiled, then turned back to Kxs.

“It seems your friend doesn't want the same help you got,” he said, sounding a little hurt. A ruse, of course, “Too bad...we have to go now.”

He began to head off, “Are you hungry? I should get you and the others some food.”

Spork Residence

“...I wasn't there, at the massacre...” Spork spoke up, glaring at Mustang, “But I heard what happened...There's a kid, I took in...four years old. His parents were killed by Amestrian soldiers. If your Fuhrer ordered something like that, then even if the Avatar did kill him, then he was perfectly justified in it. I don't believe he did though, if he says he didn't.”

Sama was the Avatar. Spork had no reason to distrust him.

Garet, however, had no idea what they were talking about, but Sama was his friend, so he believed him.

“HOLD IT!” a voice shouted out. No, it was not a pointy haired lawyer. In fact, this guy disliked lawyers. Well, he disliked pretty much everyone.

Commander Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had appeared, glaring at everyone present.

He stepped forward. He did not have any sort of crazy powers, nor was he a particularly good shot.

“You're on Ankh-Morpork territory. A sovereign nation, recognized by Amestries. Heck, we and the Bending Nation recognized each other too, back when it existed,” Vimes said. He pulled out a cigar, lit it, and took a drag.

Vimes hated war. For him, it was an excuse, in his mind, for rich leaders to go and commit crimes for 'the good of the nation.' The cop in him couldn't stand it.

“Those...monsters, are gone. I appreciate the help we got from the soldiers. But that doesn't mean you can simply abduct people here,” Vimes continued, “It seems to me, if you have a grievance with this man, then Ankh-Morpork should arrest him. You are on Ankh-Morpork soil.”

-Treno: South Gate-

Rincewind frowned, getting off the wagon, The Luggage followed, snapping it's lid at a passerby.

Sora and Kairi stepped out of the wagon, Sora staying near the girl. If anyone tried anything...

-Central: Ansem's House-

“Oh...I see,” Galv said. He paused, then sat down next to Melanie, putting an arm over her shoulder.

“Here, I'm pretty warm,” he offered, not entirely believing he was doing what he was doing. “Maybe this will help?”

Ankh-Morpork

As the dust settled, Cyrena stood next to Mustang, ready to fight Sama at his command...and listened as her commanding officer and her quarry argued.

"How DARE you speak like that?!" Cyrena demanded. "You TERRORIZED our people and MURDERED the Fuhrer-and now you DENY it and try to make US out to be the bad guys?!"

...by the way, Cyrena wasn't at the Bending Valley incident, nor was she in Ishbal, or any of those places. The expedition to Ankh-Morpork was her first mission.

Then Vimes stepped in.

"You have no right to interfere!" she cried. "This is OUR fugitive! OUR target! If anything, your sheltering him and not letting us take him is an act of war!"

She regarded Sama again.

"You're under arrest, AVATAR." she declared, trying to sound strong and important.

Alexandria Castle

Beatrix was a bit nervous, but she wouldn't show it.

"What happened in Amestris...?" Belleza said.

"...yes." Beatrix said in response to Garland.

Treno

Didymus listened as Garnet and Zidane had their "debate", and shrugged.

"If you know the way, Dagger..." he said.

They were in the middle of the city, and it certainly was lively. Talk of the battle, talk of a summoner with mismatched eyes, talk of the local plays or...wait.

Didymus was contemplative. A summoner...with mismatched eyes.

[...]



“… Rikku, I have failed.… I wanted to save Treno, but in doing so, I may have cursed my mission.”


Rikku looked back and shook her head, still leading Yuna by the arm.

"That's no way to talk! Come on, you sound like AURON! Is he rubbing off on you or something! Come on, check out this place, maybe you can get something here or at least-hey, an auction house! And listen to all these people! They're talking about YOU! It's because of YOU that they're still alive, right?"

That was an oversimplification at best, but she was trying...

[...]

Didymus noticed they were passing by the auction house, and looked around.

His eyes caught someone in the crowd.

He gasped, and the rest of that "party" may have noticed that he looked...worried. Stressed. More than usual.

Oh no...Father...must I face that temptation again? Was...was once not enough...? Maybe she won't-oh dear...was once not enough? If it be Thy will...

"HEY!" Rikku paused.

"Yunie...is that...that girl...she looks like..."

She saw Garnet and was pointing her out-Yuna may have noticed more than just Garnet, though, especially since Didymus, seeing Rikku's pointing, moved to stand between the two...

Central City, Amestris

Howe dove and rolled to avoid the fist, then brought up his pistol...then an explosion shook the facility.

Realizing what this could mean, he darted past Ed-popping a few shots off at him to cover himself-into the room where Jordan had confronting the tank! Hiding behind some wreckage, her surveyed the situation, and readied a smoke bomb...

[Ankh-Morpork]

[Spork Residence]

Mustang stood stone-faced as he looked to Sama, Spork and Garet. He was a man with a heavy burden. He had taken many lives for his country, and the revelation that the Fuhrer was some inhuman monster, and that the reasons Mustang had fought for were all lies in some demented scheme…

It made him sick. It also made it much harder to look at these people. Spork spoke of an orphaned boy who had lost his parents. Sama looked at him with hatred for that day. Mustang wavered, wondering if he could proceed.

To become Fuhrer and to gain the power to make up for what had happened to the Benders, Mustang had to destroy the Avatar and blame him for a crime he himself had committed; the sharp irony was not wasted on him.

Then Vimes stepped in. Mustang looked to the man with a slow scowl on his face.

“… This boy, the Avatar, has murdered the Fuhrer of Amestris.”

“I did no such thing!” Sama interrupted.

“Is it wise of Ankh-Morpork to get between the Amestrsian Army and the man who killed our leader? Do you really want to start a war, just to protect someone who is not a native of Ankh-Morpork?” Mustang questioned.

“I have an idea…” Sama began slowly. “Why don’t we all… just… RUN!”

He held up his hands and created a massive whirlwind! Mustang raised his own hand and snapped; but the winds were too fierce and the flames were blown off course. This time Hawkeye was unable to get a good shot lined up on the Avatar – a fact Sama was grateful for as he turned to Spork and Garet.

“Come on, let’s get out of here!” He did not know if Vimes could have convinced Mustang to back down; but he wasn’t ready to take that chance. Plus, even if it wasn’t by Amestris, he did not want to get arrested today.

“Come on, we have to go meet up with Crystal and Hammah!” Sama whispered to his fellow Bender and the Adept. He just hoped those two were having an easier time than they were.

[Treno]

As they walked, Garnet heard mention of a summoner in the city. She heard about this summoner fighting and defeating the airship fleet from Alexandria. Her heart sunk to a new low.

Not only had her people been killed; but it was a summoner who killed them? The very power she had left home to seek… and now someone was using it against her people.

She wondered… Galdwin had been aiding her every step of the way… and now a mysterious summoner had helped defeat Alexandria, apparently siding with Galdwin in the siege of Treno.

She looked to Didymus and Chloe. She wanted to ask if either of them knew what was going on… but she bit her tongue. She wanted to trust that Didymus would not have kept such a secret from her… would he?

Then, things became even more chaotic. As the group passed by an auction house, a girl was pointing at her… Garnet looked at the other girl, the one besides the pointing blond.

She had mismatched eyes; just like the rumored summoner.

Yuna also froze as she saw Garnet. Yuna’s heart suddenly soared high, and she felt a sense of new vitality. Garnet looked familiar… she looked a lot like the girl in Yuna’s visions… perhaps leaving Alexandria had not been so bad after all…

She froze as she noticed someone else…

“D-Didymus…” Yuna gasped, covering her mouth instinctively.

Auron just grunted. Zidane, meanwhile, grinned and slicked back his hair, strutting over to Yuna and Rikku.

“Well hello ladies! I don’t think we’ve met – which means you must be new in Treno. I’m Zidane Tribal, and it’s SO nice to meet you.”

I just realize Zidane is a blond guy who sneaks around in the dark and hits on everything female. Holy poop on a stick, it’s Ryan with a monkey tail. And just like that, GS will never look at FF9 the same way again. Ever.

Even as the two groups met, though, up on the balcony of the auction house were two shadows. Each of them wore black cloaks and hoods.

“… So, the summoners are both here. How delightful. It is only a matter of time, then.”

[Central]

[Machine Corps]

Edward Elric was no slouch. He was young (only 16) but he was fasted, and well versed in martial arts thanks to his Teacher. He dodged aside, missed by the shots, and then rolled across the ground.

As he did, he brought his hands together. He jumped up and aimed a kick at Howe – with his left leg! (The metal one)

[Alexandria]

[Castle]

Garland ignored Belleza’s question as if she was not in the room. He did not need to risk having another of his top people turn on him; and besides, Beatrix had only learned what she learned because she was in the right place at the wrong time.

“… I see. Tell me, General, do you intend to forsake your oath to the throne? You have seen Princess Garnet murder her mother in front of our people! Alexandria needs strong leadership in this hour, lest we should fall prey to Galdwin!”

Ankh-Morpork

“Why don’t we all… just… RUN!”

When Sama started, um, winding, at them, Cyrena tried firing her solar beams at him, but missed as well.

"ARG!" she yelled, and without waiting for Mustang's orders, gave chase! Of course, Mustang could simply recall her, or the winds perhaps push her back, but she at least, for now, TRIED to pursue Sama.

Treno

Didymus had noticed that Garnet was looking even MORE depressed. He wanted to comfort her, but...what could he say?

However, his thoughts were now concentrated on something, or someone, else...

“D-Didymus…”

Suddenly, a nervousness seemed to come over the Paladin.

"Is...is that you, Yuna?...it...has been a while, hasn't it?"

He paused.

"Is this talk about you now? Are you the...the summoner who helped...um..."

He paused. This was a tense, even awkward situation for him. He shifted uncomfortably, and could only bring himself to look at the Spiran girl with considerable effort.

Rikku paused.

"Yunie...you know this guy, too?"

"Too?" Didymus asked.

“Well hello ladies! I don’t think we’ve met – which means you must be new in Treno. I’m Zidane Tribal, and it’s SO nice to meet you.”

Rikku would have paid attention to him-however, something else was on her mind.

"Yunie, that girl..." she said.

"...she...she looks like the one who killed that queen or whatever!" she did not say this particularly loud, so Garnet may not have heard her, especially in the crowd, but Zidane was there, and perhaps she would have been able to hear it...

Central City, Amestris

Ordinary attackers may have simply sought to deflect Ed's kick, and then been painfully surprised to discover it was automail-a trick that often worked to Ed's advantage.

However, the Rangers had received a full briefing on their mission-including a list of state alchemists they may encounter-besides, Amestris made no secret of them.

He dodged, knowing that he did NOT want to try to punch an automail leg, and threw his smoke bomb into the air!

Using its cover, he ran.

Not because he beleived he could not vanquish Ed-but rather, because there was a TANK in the room arrayed against him as well, and his own man was down!

He grabbed Jordan and dragged him-making for the door in hopes of escaping their current pursuers.

He had his pistol out should he need it, and, of course, prepared to simply let Jordan go and fight in close combat again.


Alexandria Castle

“… I see. Tell me, General, do you intend to forsake your oath to the throne? You have seen Princess Garnet murder her mother in front of our people! Alexandria needs strong leadership in this hour, lest we should fall prey to Galdwin!”

Beatrix paused.

"I know not what to think..." she said. "...but what of what you DID tell me in Amestris? How is that possibly the best thing for our nation?"

"What thing in Amestris?" Belleza was now getting a bit more...insistent.

KxS merely sighed, not answering the old elf. She forgot what she was after since all she could think about was Sam. It was as if she was in trouble and he just gave up on her, but she wasn't in trouble at all. ...Right?

The werewolf looked up to the skies and prayed in her head. ...Take care of him. she thought, hoping that her prayer could be answered.


Shimera looked toward KxS, then toward Cess. "We can't just give up!" she exclaimed. "She needs our help, she just doesn't know it! We could show her that Xehanort is evil and will hurt her!"

"...The only way she'll find out is if it were too late...I just wish that she'd be okay..." Sam said, closing his eyes and dropping his weapon to the ground, his mind racing with thoughts. ...Why am I so weak? Why can't I just go up to her and convince her? I'm no powerhouse...or even one with much power...I can't do anything...nothing...

GRAPPLING HOOK!

-Central: Ansem's House-

Melanie was very cold-natured, but suddenly her face was VERY warm. Galv's arm was over her shoulder and the two teenagers were very close.

"Uhhh...T-thank you..." she mumbled, now studying the floor.

Machine Corps

So maybe shooting first and asking questions later wasn't the best strategy in the world...

The wall next to Jordan exploded and the boy fell to the ground and from her spot in the tank Molly gasped. "Oh geeeez! That isn't good!"

The boy definately didn't look much older than she and Winry. Molly frowned and hopped out of the tank, rushing over to the boy. She needed to hurry just in case there were other (more threatening) forces out there getting ready to get them!

"Hey you! Wake up unless you want to get shot at again!"

Small Town

(Soooooorrrrry for forgetting this!)

I’ll need someone with a connection to the girl. Are you her mother? That would make things MUCH easier.”

"I am" Kanna replied shortly, tapping her boot on the pavement as if she was in a hurry--which she was. "She's my youngest"

Spork Residence

“Follow me!” Spork shouted, turning and running, leading Sama and Garet. He knew these streets, after all, having grown up in the city.

Hopefully they'd be able to escape!

Back at the ruins, Vimes scowled.

“I'm not protecting anyone,” Vimes said, “And let's see...You talk of war...right? Hmmm...Didn't Amestries attack the Bending nation? Last I checked, attacking a nation was the same as declaring war...So if he did kill your leader, then that's not really a crime, is it? It's an act of war, which is different, or so I'm told. A war Amestries started. Sounds perfectly justified to me.”

Vimes frowned, the blast of wind having unlit his cigar.

“This is a war between Amestries and the Benders. We didn't bring them here,” Vimes continued, relighting his cigar, “So don't talk about us starting a war...”

Streets

“I don't know how we should that he's a bad guy...I mean...if we attack him, he'd just say he's defending himself,” Cess sighed, shaking his head, “I don't know what to do...I'm sorry...”

He frowned, “Though...if you want to keep her safe...maybe you should just go with her, Sam...”

-Central City: Ansem's House-

This was...nice...really nice...

Galv smiled slightly, blushing still.

“Ummm...welcome...” Galv added. “So...ummm...Maybe later, do you want to go into the city again, when your strength is back?”

-Small Town-

Ethan stayed near Kanna, not trusting this man in the slightest...

“I don't think we need his help...” he muttered.

-Treno-

Rincewind continued to be nervous, while Sora and Kairi wavered behind...

But if she decides to follow her own path, then this is the point where she and I part ways for now. I'll miss her...a lot...and..." The raven haired teen was silent for a bit. ...I'll miss her...

"What if it's the only way to keep her safe?" Shimera asked Sam. She gave him pleading eyes while holding her hands together. She didn't know KxS, but she could never stand to see someone get hurt. Unless they were really bad people, anyway...

She then sighed. "Alright, I'll go do it!" she told them determinedly, walking away.

Treno

The cloaks of the members of the Dark Order were known quite far and wide, their job taking them through almost every country. There were some places, however, where the presence of the black-and-silver robe of an Exorcist, and the telltale dirty-white/beige robe of the Finder were more common. The actual members of the Dark Order never actually attempted to hide themselves, and the Exorcists specifically wore robes that were easy to recognize.

That way, Akuma would prioritize THEM over the general populace.

In many places in the world, having the robe of an Exorcist was just as effective as wearing the shining armor of a white knight, a label of a savior and helper. In other places, wearing the robes of the Dark Order attracted scorn and hate, sometimes to an extreme that Exorcists would be attacked. Such places were few, but still existed.

And most of them existed in Amestris.

Alexandria, however, was mostly friendly territory. Queen Brahne, before the miasma, kept in consistent contact with Cross, a Marshall of the order. The first few Akuma were found in Alexandria, and slain there as well. Due to the miasma, the darkness spreading through Alexandria was also pretty troubling.

So it was no surprise that more than a few dark-robed members passed through the more important cities of Alexandria. The capital and Treno were frequently visited spots, and the robe of the Exorcist wasn't something that usually drew attention.

Thus, Allen finally ended up in Treno again. The white-haired boy jumped off the wagon as Sora and Kairi got off, and stopped to look around closely. He has been to Treno before, multiple times, since this was one of Cross Marian's favorite haunts and a place full of information if one knew where to look. Treno bustled day and night, and was full of both the dirtiest and the cleanest "laundry" in Alexandria.

But it had changed since he was here. There was a heavy gloom in the air, a weight that couldn't be seen but only felt. The city, having recently seen battle, was mourning... And Allen felt the heaviness settle upon him as well like a heavy cloud. In addition to feeling somewhat depressed, Allen's eye kept twitching.

There were Akuma in the city. And more than just a few of them.

Then, the group clashed with that of a traveling summoner. Allen had to keep his surprise a secret. Summoners... Well, they had a certain range of power that not many others did. Summoners were often the heaviest hitters in the world, just because of their contracts and dealings with summoned creatures. A frail-looking female summoner was often far more dangerous than a tough-looking guy with an eye patch and dozens of magical weapons.

To see one here in Treno... Something was brewing. No wonder Cross was here.

"This place had changed while I was here... Timcanpy, find the Master. Tell him that we're in the city and that we will be along shortly."

As Tim disappeared, the summoner groups met up, and the air became downright awkward.

"Uhh... I am assuming that something happened between you before? This air... It's... Not exactly the friendliest, is it..."

[Ankh-Morpork]

Sama followed behind Spork, hoping they would be able to escape. Mustang and Hawkeye did not seem to be following them. Sama paused, jumped up and tossed a fireball at Cyrena – hoping to get her to slow down.


Mustang narrowed his eyes at Vimes.

“Our military action against the Bending Valley ended years ago. The ‘war’ you speak of has been over for a long time. By your logic, if two nations have ever been to war against one another, it’s open season to murder whoever you’d like and call it a continuation of that war.”

Mustang shook his head. “… At any rate, I don’t think the Avatar will stay here. I will keep a unit of Amestrian soldiers here, in case I am wrong, but I will be returning to Central to re-focus our search. Lieutenant, come along.”

The two headed back towards the city gates. Mustang had found a wait out, for now, but he was still in a bad situation.

[Small Town]

Rica gave a small chuckle. Kanna did not seem to want to wait, and Ethan certainly didn’t look like he wanted a thing to do with the man.

“I see. Well, I’m sure I can find her. If you don’t want my help, that’s fine, but as long as there is water in this world, I can find her.”

[Machine Corps]

Jordan gave a huge groan, and slowly started to stir. Then Howe tried to grab him and carry him out – but he was stopped. Edward was moving at the man, furiously trying to punch and kick him.

Ed was angry. Howe had attacked Al – in a big way. There was no way Ed was going to simply let him get away.

[Alexandria Castle]

Garland suddenly shook with rage. He slammed his metal-covered hand onto the edge of his throne, making a startling bang.

“It is best for our nation because I say it is! Have you forgotten I am your King!?”

[Treno]

Yuna looked at Didymus, and Garnet looked at Yuna.

Awkward.

“… Sir Didymus, I have a question… why are you traveling with that woman?” Yuna asked, stepping forward and pointing at Garnet. “I… saw her… murder the Queen of Alexandria.”

Garnet gasped and covered her mouth. A million thoughts rushed through her mind at that moment, but none of them came together. Nothing made sense. She felt like she couldn’t breathe.

“W-W-What did you…” Garnet gasped once again.

Ankh-Morpork

Cyrena gasped when the fireball was flung at her, and dove to avoid it!

However, she HAD been slowed down, and Sama and the other "fugitives" escaped.

"ARG! He got away!" she cried.

She listened as Mustang argued, but when he announced that they were pulling back...

"WHAT?! Sir, the Avatar is still out there! We can't just leave him and go back with our mission unfulfilled!" she cried. "...still, I'll follow your lead..." she said a bit meekly.

Cyrena trailed behind Mustang and Hawkeye, quietly. She wondered what to say, what would happen-and if Mustang was truly making the right decision. Still, she trusted him...

Machine Corps

Howe found himself in a brutal hand-to-hand struggle with Edward...

...Ed was good, but Nathaniel was a captain among Rangers. He was also good.

Ed swung furiously, madly-he was clearly in a frenzy. By contrast, Howe was calm and focused-although to say he was not concerned for his subordinate would be untrue.

He dodged, parried-and drew his knife.

With it in one hand, he used it to parry the blows from Ed's automail-Ed may have noticed he seemed to have the forknowledge that he had mechanical limbs, especially since he showed no surprise when the knife failed to cut anything but his shirt sleeve when its blade connected with his mechanical arm-and he slowly "directed" the fight-manuvering himself, giving ground, till he was near the tank. Sprinting ahead of Ed for a moment, he got out another grenade, pulled the pin-and sent it sailing for the (now open?) tank hatch!

He didn't know who was inside-but it was a hostile tank to him. He wanted to deal with it before it caused him even MORE problems-it had already incapacitiated Jordan.

He noticed a girl in Amestris blues looking over Jordan, but she didn't look like she had a weapon...besides, if Jordan was incapacitated, she would see that and, he hoped/theorized, move to simply capture him. He could rescue him later, he was in no imminent life-threatening danger. If Jordan was in fact NOT incapacitated...he was a Ranger. Howe expected he could handle a tank crew member, even if he was wounded.

Alexandria Castle

Beatrix remained firm, while Belleza simply stood watching. Beatrix, defying the throne to which she swore an oath?

...she wanted to watch how this unfolded.

"...I do not deny the confusing and dire times our nation faces...but the things you told me require the forsaking of my honor-and it is best because you say so? You provided not even THAT reason when I escaped you in Amestris..."

"Escaped?" Belleza asked. "Sire, is the general on trial, if I may ask?"

Beatrix glared at her.

"Silence, you. Do not pretend your loyalty to the crown and this nation exceeds my own."

"And yet, you stand as if on trial before your king, and I stand as his perhaps shamed, yet loyal servant." Belleza replied.

"Hmph. If you knew what I did, you-"

"If I knew what, general?" Belleza asked. "If I knew what? Then would I suddenly question my king and country as YOU are, if ONLY I KNEW?"

Garland could intervene as he saw fit, or just led his general and air admiral argue more. (XD)


Treno

"Something DID happen between us..." Didymus remarked. "...not something that would be cause for hostility..."

When Yuna spoke, he listened intently.


“… Sir Didymus, I have a question… why are you traveling with that woman? I… saw her… murder the Queen of Alexandria.”

Didymus jaw dropped and his eyes widened.


“W-W-What did you…”


Didymus then looked to Garnet.

Steiner, for his part, also gaped.


"LIAR!" he not only shouted-but roared. In public. "She would NEVER do such a thing! And how could the queen have been MURDERED?! Brother Paladin, I question-"

"Don't call my cousin a liar, you big meanie!" Rikku stepped in. "We saw it ourselves! She was making some big speech about the war or something when this girl-" she pointed at Garnet-"-showed up, said something about the good of the nation, and zapped her right off the balcony with magic! Bzzzt! SPLAT!"

Rikku's tactless speech probably devastated Garnet.

"You little BRAT!" Steiner shot back. "How DARE you accuse..."

As Steiner and Rikku continued to argue, Didymus looked over at Garnet, who I'm guessing was looking totally horrified, shocked, and saddened by the news.

Hold her. She needs it.

He paused, unsure if that thought was just his own, and whether or not to act on it, but she did look like it...

Forgive me, please, if this be wrong...

He stepped forward, and slowly wrapped his arms around Garnet, silently, without saying anything to her, his own face earnest, but clearly showing that he was feeling for her. He drew her into an embrace, holding her and just trying to silently comfort her-if somehow this did it. Even here, he was taking a step of faith.

"Uhhh...I'll be right back-" Melanie muttered, rushing out of the room and into the bathroom. A moment later she emerged looking even paler then before.

"Sorry, not your fault, just a little sickish.." Melanie wiped her forehead

Small Town

This guy was guaranteeing he could find her child? Who was Kanna to say no? Of course, it all depended on one thing.

"So....What do you charge?" Kanna asked, looking up at the strange man. Her brow raised.

Machine Corps

Ed was keeping Howe busy so Molly too initiative and attempted to wake Jordan....By kicking him.

"Yo! Get uppppp we gotta get going unless you want to be caught in the middle of their fight!

Ankh-Morpork-Abandoned Building

It took awhile but Crystal managed to find a safe place on the outskirts of town to hide for the time being. When she finally decided they were safe the girl sat down and caught her breath and looked the small boy in her arms over.

"Are you okay Hammah? You're not hurt are you?"
