Jack sat under the deck in the main hall with Saigon in its sheath on his lap. The hilt seemed to sparkle in the dark. It was nighttime over the East Igrian Ocean and Jack knew it would be till morning before they reach the Gedian Island. Captain Elijah and Master Cecil stood on the bridge with the captain at the wheel and compass at hand. A very large and fierce storm can be seen ahead.
"We better change course," Elijah said.
"No. Head straight into it. It doesn't matter where we go...this is no ordinary storm," Cecil replied. Elijah nodded and kept on course as the waters begun to grow restless and lightning came raining down.

Harold just looked at Sebastian in pure shock. The city had just gone into lockdown and curfew was a very serious law apparently. However, he thought it best not to argue and followed Sebastian.
Due to Sebastian's sudden bolt of speed Harold was a bit behind him. Before Harold could take five steps four guards got in his way. "Curfew is in effect. Return indoors at once."
Breaking curfew here was no small task. The guards were determined to try to prevent as many raids as possible and anyone outside could be a possible threat.

Sebastian: I apologize.....I must have gotten far enough to not realize the time.
"This mission is really getting to me."
Sebastian walked towards Ever and Harold, following the guards back to the inn.
(I apologize for the short post.)

Harold stopped dead in his tracks the instant he saw the guard. Harold chuckled nervously and said, "My apologies, sir. I'll just get right on back to the Inn then." With that, Harold immediately turned around and headed back to the Inn.

The Downeaster Alexa
Jack walked out on the deck and looked as it became nearly impossible to see five feet away. The Downeaster Alexa was being hit hard by the powerful waves. Captain Elijah struggled to keep the ship on course as Master Cecil begun to chant words in the ancient angelic tongue trying to calm the storm. The rain started to pummel everything in their path not letting up. Something about this view...something strange and caused Jack to remember something about his past...the day his parents were killed...it was raining hard like this.
The moment Jack entered his home he knew something terrible has happened as the smell of death was in the air. Jack came into the living room to find his mother pinned against the wall by a massive sword right through the chest. His father was headless as his corpse laid over the sofa. Jack screamed in terror and fled his home back into the stormy weather. He looked around screaming for help but only saw a man in a black hood walking away.
Jack was scared and needed help and that man was all he saw. Jack ran to try to catch him but no matter how fast he went it seemed he wasn't catching up. Jack followed him into Silence Woods and he still ran not willing to accept what he just saw. He came to a clearing and could see the black hooded man enter a rather large metallic building. Jack was frozen.
Jack has have troubled remembering that day and yet this night it seemed rather easy. He stood motionless on the deck; almost like a statue. His eyes loomed down into the black water as he clinched his fists.
Gilo
"Curfew!" guards rode through Gilo on horses making sure no one was left on the streets. The captain of the guard rode up. "Captain Bradon; we believe everyone has gone indoors."
"Good work. Send out some scouts to make sure the streets are empty and remain empty," Bradon replied. Bradon rode off to the Red Dragon tavern and entered. A large group of guards sat in here and Bradon sat down in front of Athos himself with Alathor standing behind him as a guard. "We'll leave the southern gates opened Athos. But I heard reports that some Bulma Students are in Gilo."
"No matter. I have already contacted the master and he is very aware of what has transpired," Athos responded. Athos took a drink of his ale and whipped his mouth with the back of his hand afterwards. "My bandits will 'break' through the southern gates and raid some homes down there. And for the Bulma Students...they are staying at the Goldmiller Inn; I shall send three of my hunters there to take care of them."
"Hunters?" Bradon asked.
"I have personally trained these men to be more then able to take out anyone who uses Celestial Energy. They will finish them off and we will destroy the Bulma Academy in due time," Athos answered. "Alathor; ride out now. The master is coming...he wants the girl alive. I believe her name is Eve."
"Eve? What does he want with her?" Alathor questioned grabbing his sword and his cloak.
"The master 'dealt business' with her father. He's looking to finish the family business," Athos replied. Alathor smiled and left the tavern and rode off to the north. Captain Bradon returned outside and sent guards off across the village and sent a messenger to the southern gates carrying a letter of the up-most importance.

He wobbled over to Andy and proceeded to heal his arm. "What the hell is up with this storm," he said running over to the side of the ship.
"is there anything ordinary about this whole thing?" andrew muttered angrily as he walked inside...a bolt of lightning had clipped his weapon and his entire arm was limp from the relatively minor shock.."brad where are you? i need some healing" he called out, sitting down and nursing his arm..

Harold layed in his bed and stared at the ceiling. He couldn't help but feel that something was about to happen. He tossed this feeling aside and tried to sleep. He was prepared to find Athose tomorrow.

A huge wave swept hit the side of the Downeaster Alexa slashing Andrew in the face with salt water. The moment the wave hit something appeared in the distance; it appeared to be a mermaid a few yard away but before Andrew could say anything it had already vanished.

Captain Elijah struggled to keep the ship on course. The waves were becoming too big for the small vessel. Master Cecil continued chanting in angelic language but to no avail. Master Cecil ceased seeing no point in continuing then said, "do you have any oars?"
"Yeah down below," Elijah answered. With that Master Cecil ran down to the deck where the three students were.
"Go down below and get some oars. We have to keep this ship moving," Cecil continued down below the decks and Jack followed. Cecil grabbed an oar and Jack grabbed one. They can back on top of the deck and Cecil sat on the left side with Jack on the right.

Sebastian was fast asleep. He already had it all planned and was not even worried about his surroundings. All he did was calm his inner mind and go on with resting. However, his Katana was glowing repeatedly.l
The inn keeper sat at the desk flipping through a magazine. He looked at the clock, "midnight..." the inn keeper said to himself and closed the magazine. "Well I guess I better lock up for the night. Those students have been my only customers in days...blasted bandits scaring away all my business. Lucky I don't get a hold of them because if I ever did I would give them a thing or two."
The old inn keeper stood up and walked around the desk and approached the door. He reached into his pockets and pulled a large ring of keys that had a key to every room in the inn. He made his way to the door but before he could three men entered.
"Oh customers! What can I do for you?" the inn keeper asked excited.
"We're just looking for a place to stay for tonight," one of the men answered. "And we heard that this place is a very nice place to stay a night to relax and get some sleep."
"Yes, yes it is." the inn keeper turned around making his way back to the desk. "This is a good place in..."
Before he could finish his sentence one of the men grabbed him from behind and covered his mouth and slit his throat with a rusted knife. He gently laid the inn keeper's body on the ground now lifeless. One of the men ran over to the desk and opened up the book, "room 02."
The second man grabbed the ring of keys and found the room's key and the three headed down the hall. They slowly unlocked the door and entered each coming to a bed where Sebastian, Harold, and Eve slept. They drew their rusted daggers and prepared to strike.

Still sleepless, Harold opened his eyes and spotted the figure standing over him and dodged the strike just in time. Harold had then pushed against the wall he had just rolled to, spun over his attacker, and landed on his feet behind him; making sure to stomp loudly upon landing to wake the others. Harold got into a fighting stance and waited for his attacker to even try to make his next move.

The hunter quickly jumped around to face Harold and prepared to face him off. The hunter moved his left hand so face it appeared as a blur as he punched Harold in the chest. The impact caused Harold to flip over the bed that Sebastian was on and knocked the hunter there over. The hunter Harold just knocked over quickly jumped up ready to attack.

The impact caused Harold to flip over the bed that Sebastian was on and knocked the hunter there over. The hunter Harold just knocked over quickly jumped up ready to attack.
Harold used the other Hunter as leverage to instantly recover from the attack of the first Hunter. He couldn't believe how fast they were. They moved at expert speed, just like he was able to. For a moment, for that was all the time he had to think, he wondered if these three were martial arts experts like he was. Just as the second Hunter jumped up, Harold moved at expert speed and did a double-palm strike. The speed of the attack caused an impact great enough to send the hunter flying through the wall to the next room.
Sebastian's Katana was glowing and jumping with such powerful sense of danger, it jumped and speared into the hunter. He opens both eyes as his senses hit him and kicks up on his feet. He felt good that he slept with his clothes on besides wearing his sleeping attire. He jumps at the Hunter right when Harold makes a second impact into him and does a spin kick into the back of Hunter and then slides to him, grabs him by the arm, and bends the arm the wrong way.
Sebastian: Who are you?
Sebastian said in a weak tone as he just woken up.

Before Harold could even do a thing the Hunter used his legs to throw debris at Harold and quickly jumped back to his feet. With that the hunter jumped up and charged him.

The hunter smiled and headbutted Sebastian in the face and with a sudden burst of strength he flipped Sebastian onto the bed and delived a powerful punch directly in the center of his chest. The bed shook and gave weight and fell onto the floor as the legs crumbled.

The Downeaster Alexa alas hit the sands of Gedian Island. The storm seemed to encircle the isle and Captain Elijah, Master Cecil, and Jack jumped off the ship. Elijah examined the beaten up ship in horror. "Oh no! My beautiful vessel! She won't make a trip back unless I repair these damages at once."
"I'll help you," Cecil replied. "Students you have a mission."
