Golden Age: Revival

*Allina smiles and gets up, running off to find the others.*

Allina: <Get me Euryale and Mimiru now!>

=====

*A couple maids come sprinting down the hallway like they're racing. One pushes the other against the wall and raises her arms as she arrives near Euryale, Mimiru and Azuma. She puts her arms down and gives them a slight bow.*

Maid: <Ms. Allina asked to call you urgently.>

"I believe we're going to find that out now."

<Indeed. Stay out of the way, servant maidens.>

*Euryale swears as the ankle from before jerks & she falls down. There's a swooshing of air by Azuma's head.*

*Azuma ducks and raises his fists.*

[Should've brought my sword.]

Mimiru:<What the hell is this crap?!>

Maid: <I-Is everything all right?>

*They both just stare at them like they're autistic kids writing death threats with their breakfast.*

*A bloody gash appears on Azuma's arm.*

<My name is Yomi. I have been sent to kill all interlopers.>

*Azuma clutches his arm. Mimiru swings a fist around where Azuma's standing.*

Mimiru:<Why don't you show yourself?!>

*Upon seing the wound on Roatha's arm, the maids start looking around and then start screaming and run off. Allina comes running past them and arrives near them.*

Allina: <Oh, so he's here! Euryale, could it be a ghost or something?>

E"I don't know!"

Yomi<I'm right here. And why does everyone always think that I'm a ghost?>

*Mimiru feels a slight resistance against her fist & then sees a slashing motion out of the corner of her eye.*

*Mimiru ducks, sticks her leg out and spins attempting to knock the Yomi down.*

=====================================================

*Taiyo's still trying to drag Nero to wherever.*

Allina: <Did the sketchy organization send you?>

*Allina starts swinging her hands around.*

*Taiyo sees a black mass standing in her way, faintly outlined against the dark hallway.*
===================================================
<There is no point in hiding the purpose of your assassination.>

*Unpurturbed, Yomi takes another swing at Aamon.*

*Azuma stumbles back and falls. Mimiru stands and takes another swing at the air.*

=====================================================

*Dropping Nero, Taiyo holds a hand out like a gun, and a jet of water fires from her fingertip.*

Allina: <There's gotta be a way to expose this dude! What if Taiyo tries to wet him?>

*Allina holds her hands out, releasing very thin beams of light to dispel any possible illusion.*

*The shape seems to become less defined. Mimiru's fist meets with less resistance.*

*Taiyo blasts it again. Azuma sends a flurry of frost in the direction of where Taiyo's sending water to freeze it against whatever she's shooting at.*

Allina: <Aha! See? Stupid ghost person.>

*Allina steps back with her fists raised in an offensive stance.*

Yomi<This is all quite futile. And I am still not a ghost.>

N"Why did I get stabbed again?!"

*Nero's old wound has been reopened. Taiyo & Azuma successfully murdered an antique vase.*

Allina: <Screw you!>

*She holds her hands out towards Nero, casting a blue bubble-like barrier around him. She then draws her silver rapier. Strings of light flow up the blade as it begins to glow and she runs towards the shape, stabbing at it.*

"At least yours were closed. Allina, I know you're not my biggest fan or anything, but it's not nice to pick and choose who gets to bleed all over your floor."

*A big hole appears in the shape where the light is shining through it like a flashlight. It takes a swing at her with its sword, but despite making full contact with her neck, it only leaves a shallow groove*

*Taiyo & Azuma attempt to repeat their last combination on the shape.*

*She stumbles back and double slashes at him, then proceeding to step back and cast a healing spell on Azuma.*

*Nero flicks on a light switch & there's nothing in the hallway.*

"How long has this hallway been dark?"
