I awake from another memory of my family. Just to stay there for an hour then train my ability. I walk outside and ignore the needy shimmer users down here, not because I hate them but because we both forgot each other, and our old selves died a while ago.

I start slowly punching the concrete cliff. Magic streams from my arms and hands. Leaving fist prints in the rock. And my hands don't even bleed. I then speed up and include my feet. Then endurance training, I just parkour through The Lanes in a sports bra and sweat pants, obviously with shoes.

While I'm running, I see a fellow free runner, but she soon drops down in an alley before I can say anything. So I just head home, but on the way, a little kid runs up to me and says.

"Mask! I got news."

"What is it, little guy?"

"Theirs a new girl in town with pink hair traveling with an enforcer!"

'Vi? No.'

"Ok thanks now run along."

'Theirs no way she can be back. I don't even know where she was. Ekko said she was dead. I thought she left for someplace else. But now I need to know.'

I drop down and change into my normal clothes. I go and eat at mine, Vis, and Powders old favorite place to eat. I head to Jericho's

I sit and eat my favorite orange octopus. And as I'm eating a pink haired girl and hooded one, sit down three seats away from me.

I give slide glances, and I can confirm. It is Violet. I compose myself. And walk away to the last drop. I knew where she'll go.

I follow them by rooftop, and it seems Vi is just looking at what changed. Then they enter The Lanes's favorite place. The brothel. I enter myself and follow inconspicuously.

I can see Vi circle the enforcer and check her out? She then pins her to the wall.

'Spicy' but gives her away to a male worker. I still follow Vi to the managers room.

I climb into the rafters in between the roof and ceiling. So I can overhear their conversation. I paid attention to the parts about me and Powder.

"Have you heard anything about Powder and Larsa? I'm afraid Silco has them."

"Larsa is...dead Vi."

Vi stands up. "What!? No, that can't be true."

"It is sweetheart. I'm afraid not even the toughest in The Lanes could survive that night."

Vi clenches her fist and keeps looking at the smaller brothel owner with hope that she is lying and is just confused but gives in and let's a tear slide down her face while she sits back down.

"And Powder?"

The other woman shakes her head.

"I have to find her." Vi stands up, then leaves after a few more words.

I drop down after she leaves and look at the owner. She stares back in sadness. I take off my hood and mask and smile.

"Thank you. Babette."

"It was nothing, but you do need to tell her. She misses you, and we both don't wanna know when Vi turns into an angry Vander."

I nod and hug her as I pull up my mask and hood to leave and follow Vi.

On my way out, I see that enforcer talking with a very sexy girl worker.

'Huh. Never would've guessed'

I run out and jump to a rooftop in chase of a former loved one. I feel the electrical energy in the air.

'Somthing very important is gonna happen soon'

I trail Vi on the ground, and my favorite song is playing everywhere I go. How lucky.

Vi has her hood up like me, and we both trut forward, I see Vi looking at Silcos' main goon. Serrika or something like that, I don't know. Sevika!... I think.

She just won a card game when Vi running-knees her face and her cigarette falls out. The guys she was playing with ran out and towards me.

I very quickly cut both their heads off with my sword whip. It looks like their heads just fell off as I keep walking.

I lean on a building very close so I can just watch Vi and at this moment she is getting use to Sevika's metal shimmer arm and she is doing pretty good but then it goes down hill and she literally throws her around and before I help, Vi delivers a low blow then catches her in a tight place doing those cool boxing moves.

Vi then kicked her through a wall in my direction.

"Where's my sister! Where is he keeping her." She threatens

"Keeping her? Do you mean Jinx? She works for him." Serrika says.

Vi is surprised and loses focus, but then I can sense it. The blade stabbing Vi.

I run in rage at her and tackle her just as she stands up. With my dual blades in hand, I try to slice her head, but she catches them with her metal hand.

"The Mask?" She kicked me off, but I lunged at her with my swords swinging vigorously slicing her arm and damaging her. My blades keep going strong until she catches both of them and shatters them.

Time moves slow as I fall forward from loss of leverage. To meet a metal punch to the face. Knocking me into the corner of a building and bounce off. But I get up and since I don't take my sniper everywhere. I use my whip sword.

She looks confused as I'm unraveling a metal belt just for it to activate and I wrap the blade around her arm and twist it places to subdue it and punch and kick her face with the arcana surging through me.

I let out one final battle cry as I dropped the whip sword and punched her right in the core, launching her forward and crashing through two houses.

I breathed heavily as that punch I gave her and the one she gave me really tired me out.

'I guess rage helps with power'

As I'm walking back to Vi I see her crawling away.

"Vi look!" She turns to me."It's me, La-" *POW*

A gun shot right through my shoulder.

"Fuck!" They keep trying to shoot me and I think.

'What if she hits Vi. What if I die I'll never see Powder again!'

These thoughts give me so much magic energy I need to focus it somewhere. So I put my hands out and once again time slows but I see something being conjured up in front of me.

And soon it covers me and Vi in a half sphere with my hands being the center point. When the bullets hit the force field they reflect somewhere else. I hear rustling behind me and then a pain at my neck then darkness.
