Pyrrha sits with Falke inside their dorm. The two had talked about Falke, Dante, and Vergil heading to meet Raven as Falke had told her about what was happening to him. She's crying with worry on his shoulder as he holds her close.
Pyrrha: "Why? Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped."
Falke: "I'm sorry. I just didn't want to worry you. It's just I thought this was something that would go away. Please, I'll be alright. I and the others will find out how to fix this. I want you to stay here."
Pyrrha: "No! I want to go with you. This isn't something you can do alone."
Falke: "Look, I need you to stay here and help protect the people. I'm not at full strength, so that means that you, Nero, and Ace are probably the strongest we have."
Pyrrha: "Are you sure? Please, I don't like it when you leave me."
Falke: "I know, but please don't worry. I'll be back, and ill be all fixed up. Now come here."
They both share a tender moment as they lay in their bed together, holding one another close. Since Falke had started to feel the full effects of his condition, the two of them haven't had many moments like this, so Falke was sure to make the most of it. It was as though every second he held onto her was almost as though he'd never get the chance again, and that was something he wasn't planning on losing. They would spend the next couple of hours sleeping in each other's arms, neither content with letting the other go, and in all reality, they wouldn't have it any other way. But, unfortunately, all things must come to an end, and Falke was forced to separate himself from their sweet embrace as he only had a couple of minutes to get to the Bullhead that he, Dante, and Vergil would use to get to Mistral. Heading to the hangar bay, he mentally sighs when he recognizes the ship of Ky Summers, the pilot that he and Pyrrha met a while back. But what surprised him most was he wasn't alone, helping him tune up his ship as Summer Rose, his non-related aunt who he saved from being trapped in the Underworld.
Falke: "Summer?"
Summer: "Falke!" Rushing over and hugging him. "How have you been? It feels like forever since the whole "Underworld" thing."
Falke: "I'm doing good. What are you doing here?"
Ky: "Oh, and I don't get a hello as well."
Summer: "Calm down, Ky. You know he was gonna say hi. You're just being grouchy for no reason."
Ky: "*sigh* Yeah, yeah. It's good to see you, kiddo."
Falke: "Wait. So are you two?"
Summer: "Yes, Falke. We are a "thing" as the younger generation likes to call it."
Falke: "But I thought you and Tai were together?"
Summer: "Well, after I learned that he had grown to be much older than I and the fact that he and Raven had reconnected from what I learned from your father. I was kind of alone to myself, but one day I found a little love letter underneath my door-"
Falke: "Yeah, I'm just gonna stop you right there. I can already see where this is going."
Dante: "Not going to lie, nephew. I'm pretty glad you didn't let her finish; I wasn't looking forward to having to listen to all that." The three of them are looking to see Dante and Vergil walking up to the ship.
Vergil: "It seems everyone is here and accounted for. Shall we be off?"
Ky: "*sarcastically* Oh, yes, your highness. Would you like some tea and crumpets as well?" Dante tries his hardest to hold back his laughter as Vergil glares at Ky as they board the ship.
Near the City of Argus, Outside the Border of Mistral and Vale
Sam walked north as he and Ironwood separated at the border after they got a ride across the ocean separating the two kingdoms. Ironwood had told Sam that he'd probably find better help up north in the city of Argus. As Sam has nowhere else to go, Argus was his best and only choice. Walking into the town, he feels almost out of place here. Continuing through the streets, he sees the remnants of an Atlas presence. Old checkpoints used by Atlas soldiers are now replaced with gang hideouts, bases, and equipment of the military in the hands of ordinary thugs. It seemed that the entire city had been taken over by a new force led by someone named The Spider. Whenever he tried and asked about the gang or The Spider, he'd get weird looks and hushed whispers about him. Unfortunately, Sam may have attracted too much of the wrong kind of attention.
Looking over some fruit in a nearby market, his attention was caught by a bright pink umbrella sticking out in the dull and grey surrounding. Letting curiosity get the better of him, he begins to walk after the pink umbrella, it acting like a buoy in an ocean. It turns down an alley which he also turns down into, stopping as the umbrella had disappeared. Suddenly Sam was kicked into the alley wall. Quickly rolling away, he finds the now bladed umbrella at his throat. In front of him stands a girl with pink and brown hair with a white mixed in. Her heterochromiatic eyes, one being brown while the other pink, look at him with a cold glare.
Sam: "So? Are you going to kill me? Or are we just gonna stare into each others eyes?"
This momentarily causes the girl's cheeks to go a slight pink, giving Sam a chance he needed to use his falcata to redirect her umbrella away as he now points his sword at her throat.
Sam: "Look, I don't want to hurt you. I just needed to get some help, and drawing attention seemed like the only way to do so. Can you get me a chat with The Spider?" The girl didn't respond. "I don't have all day; what's your answer?" The girl only points to her throat and shakes her head as she mouths words. "...You can't speak, can you?" She nods.
Sam lowers his falcata as the girl brings out a scroll and begins to type something before turning it towards him.
Neo(typing): "Name's Neopolitan, but you can just call me Neo. And yes, I can get you an audience with Spider."
Sam: "Well, my name's Samuel, but I go by Sam. Also, nice name, don't suppose you wouldn't happen to know where we can get some food; I'm starving."
Neo(typing): "As long as your buying the ice cream. :)"
Sam chuckles as he sheathes his sword, and the two head off to one of Neo's preferred spots to get food and ice cream.
Howdy everyone, HDAWG007 here again. Earlier this week, I got some questions about specific points in my earlier stories.
