Once their plan had been agreed upon and Arkyn had of course told Aiden, Agni and Igneus about the man in the fancy uniform, they made their way over to the bar and entered casually, with them all concealing their weapons beneath their jackets. As he looked around the bar, Aiden heard a stool tip over and saw the man from earlier and his guards laughing at a drunken man who had passed out from too many drinks. Aiden chuckled to himself before pointing the three targets out to Arkyn, Agni and Igneus. Seeing this, Arkyn pointed his hands in different directions, signalling where each prson in the group should go to blend in. Aiden went near the back of the bar, Agni & Igneus stood near the doors and Arkyn got into character and pretended to stumble into the man, whose nametag he read as General Rysek.
"Get off of me you peasant!" General Rysek demanded, pushing Arkyn backwards, "You are of no importance to me, isn't that right everyone!". Because Rysek had the political power to send guards after anyone, the crowd cheered and half-laughed along with him. However, when Rysek had mocked Arkyn, he made the grave mistake of holding his hand out in front of him and began to make a grand speech about his favourite topics, himself and killing Nenormalni. Suddenly though, Arkyn purposely broke character and spoke over him.
"Oh but you see, Mr Rysek," Arkyn exclaimed, taking a small sheet of cloth from his own pocket and placing it over his eyes like a blindfold, "you're actually very important to me.".Unsheathing both sides of his blade at once, Arkyn spun it in front of Rysek and sheathed it again before his enemy could even realise what he'd done. After half a second or so, Rysek's entire left wrist began to bleed before his hand fell off completely. As Rysek screamed in agony and the guards went to attack Arkyn, everyone in the bar went to leave through the front door. However, Igneus' irises suddenly glowed extremely light blue and he quickly made a wall of ice that filled in the whole doorframe. Seeing this, everyone began scrambling to the back door instead, but they were suddenly stopped by Agni, whose irises glowed orange and red, looking like the fires of Hell as his hand released a controlled burst of flames right after Aiden quickly dashed out of the door and headed round to the front of the building to guard it, with the fire perfectly blocked the door without spreading to the rest of the building. Meanwhile, Arkyn tossed Rysek through a barstool and using one of his blades to stab the General directly through the centre of his right kneecap. Meanwhile, a woman at the back of the bar decided to speak up.
"What do you want from us you monsters?!" she asked, tearing up. Right after she did this, the rest of the people in the bar all began to also speak against the group, getting louder and louder. However, a faint purple energy suddenly flowed from Arkyn's torso towards his hand, before he held his hand out towards the floor and shot it, sending a shockwave throughout the room. He'd had this power for over a decade now, having accidentally obtained it when he grabbed his dual-sided blade when he was running from a group of bullies. He had grabbed the handle when he found it in the forest and had went to defend himself despite struggling to hold it, as he was quite small. Unfortunately for the bullies, his ability soon activated and sent a shockwave out of the front of his body, knocking them backwards. The look on the bullies' faces when this had happened proved to Arkyn that he now had the power to get Armaros away from their unloving mother, and that he could now help those who were like him, the Nenormalni.
"Enough!" Arkyn yelled, his eyes pulsating with the same purple colour as the energy of his shockwave, "You're all here with us for one reason and one reason only. The simple version is that, in all honesty, you're just unlucky. However, I'm going to offer you the chance to leave here. But if you tell anyone at all that we were here, we will find you and it would not be long before your family would have one less mouth to feed. And if you don't think that we know how to find people, then how did we find Mr. Rysek here, hm?". Surprisingly, rather than agree and leave, a bearded man near the front yelled for the group to leave and swung his right fist at Arkyn's face. Seeing this, Arkyn blocked the man's strike with his left arm bent and his right arm against it, proceeding to use his right hand to backhand the man on his head, knocking him to the floor.
