Golden Age: Revival

Allina: <That's not fair!>

*She exits after them.*

[Fine. Whatever.]

*They land soon afterwards.*

N"Now we have to somehow get her off the plane. It can't get more awkward than that."

*Euryale opens her eyes, blinking a few times.*

E"Where am I? What happened?"

N"I stand corrected."
=======================================
*A man in a business suit approaches them.*

<Excuse me, but is one of you a Miss Taiyo Shikasu?>
=======================================
*Thiera & Ari's plane had landed on top of a building in the middle of nowhere that actually looked like a mirage until they were right on top of it.*

<We're in enemy territory now. North Africa is controlled by a high-ranking Illuminatus. Only a few land masses aren't, actually.>

"Australia."

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

Taiyo:<That's me.>

*She steps forward.*

*Ari nods and looks around, taking a deep breath.*

[Illuminatus...]

=====

Allina: <Who are you?>

<I work for Thiera Psyche. I'm supposed to take you to her.>
==========================================
<Ma'am, just say the word, & I'll have these 2 arrested.>

N"I'm sure that won't be necessary."

E"...What?"

<I believe they drugged you, kidnapped you, & stripped you.>

E"WHAT?!"

"I told him removing the armor was a bad idea. At least you're not like Joan of Arc, so I suppose we're somewhat lucky."

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

Taiyo:<...Okay.>

Allina: <(Sketchy fellow.)>

Fine, I will arrange a greeting for you. For now, goodbye.

Kyoujin bookmarked the website before closing it and buzzing for her butler.
"We'll have to make sure our security is on full alert" Kyoujin looked at her friend, almost giddy with excitement, "But Mum and Dad shouldn't know..."

*The butler comes in, chin stiff from avoiding leering at her.*
========================================
E"You...you removed my armor?!"

N"We didn't think we could justify it being a carry on. Also, it would have probably been wicked uncomfortable. We had Taiyo supervise, though."
========================================
*He takes them to a car outside the airport.*

<Miss Psyche is doing work around the remote areas of the desert. She did not want you to get lost searching for her.>
========================================
<The first place we'll have to go is the pyramids.>

*She grabs a white hooded cloak, putting it on over her white shorts-&-t-shirt combo. Then she grabs a canteen & attaches it to her belt after filling it with water. Finally, she ties her hair back.*

"I don't recall that last part happening. I do recall being against the idea out of fear for my life though."

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

"I can't see us putting a whole lot of effort into looking for her."

*Ari gets his white hooded cloak as well.*

Ari: <O-Okay!>

=====

Allina: <Taiyo needs her magic stick thing. Let's do this!>

"Hey" Kyoujin called to the butler, "Can you please make arrangements for a guest greeting the day after tomorrow... also put security on high alert for the next couple of days, just in case. I'm also hoping for Mum and Dad to keep in the dark about this, could you keep it from them?"

<Then get in the car.>
====================================
<Of course. Anything else?>
====================================
*They take an elevator leading to a garage that has a small, beige car in it. Thiera gets in the driver's seat.*
====================================
N"Look, lady, she just had sleep deprivation. But we needed to get her back to see her little sister. Is that really such a bad thing?"

"It is when you consider what she's wearing... Err... Not wearing and she's been asleep for quite awhile."

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

*Taiyo hesitates for a moment before getting in the car Mimiru following in after her.*

"Uhm... just a soda for my friend and me, please." Kyoujin said with a smile before turning to her friend.
"Take a look at this stuff" She said before handing over the notepad, "Recognize anything from there?"

<Just Emperor Nobunga. But are we talking about the new one or the old one?>
===========================================
N"I just wanted to do the right thing, okay?"

E"Hmm...I DO remember staying up all night...."
===========================================
*He starts driving for the pyramids.*

"I'm sure you had the be- Wait, you stayed up ALL night?"

[At least someone didn't disregard that awful plan.]

"I'm guessing it's the new one."

*Ari reluctantly gets in the passenger seat.*

=====

*Allina's whistling out the window.*

E"Yeah. I didn't want to wake Taiyo up."
==================================
<Oh. Well, he's the new Emperor of Japan.>
==================================
*Thiera & Ari are in the sarcophagus chamber, Thiera holding the Lance, whenever the group is escorted in.*

<Ah, there you are. But you appear to be short a few heads.>

"Wow. We suck. The rest of us disregarded Allina's plan because it sucked."

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

"Is that a problem?"

*Allina glares at Thiera and then Ari. Ari tilts his head and stares back blankly.*

E"Okay...I can trust you guys, right?"

*Nero looks at Azuma.*

N"Hm."
==========================
<Not really, no. I want you to join hands, though.>

*The guy comes in with a cooler. She opens it to reveal what looks like a severed goat's leg on ice.*

"When have I done anything remotely untrustworthy?"

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

*Taiyo steps back looking both scared and disgusted.*

"You've invited us to lunch?"

"I wonder how this guy found out about me..."
