Golden Age: Revival

"Shut up.

We're searching for the retard twins.

[Jeez, what crawled up his butt? Oh crap, he doesn't know I tried... Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap.]

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

*The two arrive on the scene, Azuma noticing Allina's duck before anything else.*

"What's with this duck?"

Allina: <I dunno, it somehow wandered over to my house and got in through the kitchen window. I had to wrestle it out, but now we're like best buddies or something. A black duck is pretty cool. Still, I wonder where he came from.>

*SirSchwarzpot quacks.*

"Yes, but that doesn't exactly answer the question of how you knew what her powers were, or that she even had any."

<Public Security Intelligence Agency.>
==================================
R"This is stupid. Where's our stupid, self-appointed leader?"

"I don't know. He didn't say."

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

"Sorry I asked."

"You're saying they know all about all of these powers?" Luna looked kind of worried, "If so, why haven't they tried doing anything?"

"And how the hell did they find out?" Kyoujin asked, startled that her secret could have been found out by someone non-magical, "I've hardly ever used it, except for at very late night when I first got it."

<One of the biggest misconceptions about magic is that science can't understand it. There was a case recently where a young man was found with lacerations all over his body. The medical examination concluded correctly that the damage was done with high pressure wind, but since the police could not figure out a weapon capable of that, the case was dropped. The moral of the story is that everything leaves traces. I myself do not know the finer details of how, precisely, the agency learned what they did. But it doesn't matter now, anyway. The reason they don't act on it is because it's poorly understood right now. No one is anywhere near the feats of old, where great wizards are said to have predicted the future, turned into dragons, and even attained immortality.>
======================================
*They run into Allina & co. Nero shows up a few minutes later.*

N"Okay...does anyone have a plan?"

Kyoujin's eyes had become quite dark and her brow creased into a frown as she though about how her 'secret' had been discovered, but she lit up again when she heard "immortality"...
"Okay then..."

"You're apparently the leader. You think of something. And what is with all these ducks? After that encounter Roatha had with one, you'd think he'd avoid them."

R"Oh, that reminds me."

*Roatha punches Nero hard on the shoulder.*

R"That's for stuffing a bunch of ducks in my room, you dick."
========================================
<I must go now. If I am correct, Thiera's minions will come here looking for me. It is imperative, for your sakes as well as mine, that you don't let them know I was here.>

"You can trust me" Kyoujin smiled.

Luna also nodded gravely.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, what's the plan? We could wander about looking for him. I imagine the Emperor of Japan isn't exactly someone who can blend in with a crowd."

<Very well. We will meet again. Good day.>

*He gives a little bow, because I don't know what Japanese people consider polite, then leaves the house.*
=======================================
*Euryale runs up to them, panting.*

E"What...did I...miss?"

N"No one said you had to come."

E"I'm not abandoning you. Now, what did I miss?"

N"Nothing. We're trying to figure out how to find Emperor Nobunaga."

E"Oh. He's at some place called the Wartooth Mansion. So they say."

N"...What?"

"Sounds like some kind of warlord."

Mimiru:<It's probably just some jackass.>

Allina: <Wartooth? Doesn't sound familiar, is it nearby?>

N"Yeah, pretty close. She might even go to our school."

R"So we're just going to waltz up to her mansion with a bunch of weapons, kick down the door, & start stabbing anyone who looks Asian?"

N"I never said that."

R"You didn't deny it."

"Not the worst idea I've ever heard. More like the second."

Allina: <We can send Sir Schwarzpot in first as a distraction, hoho. Taiyo, Euryale, lead the way or ask one of the others to do that, please.>

R"I have a better idea. Why don't you shut up?"

N"We don't necessarily have to barge right in. Maybe he'll be outside & we can challenge him to a duel, or something."

"Maybe in the off chance he loses, he'll commit ritual suicide."

*Allina rams a fist into Roatha's belly with the fury of a hundred volcanoes.*

R"You know, some people say guys should never hit girls."

*Roatha takes a step back & administers a full round house kick into her side.*

R"I am not one of those people."

E"Stop fighting, both of you!"

R"She started it."

*She grabs him by the collar with both hands, groaning upon being hit but pulling him towards her and biting his left ear real hard.*

*He just punches her in the chest while she's busy being a dumbass, knocking her over.*
