'I should really get the hang of using Luna effectively, most of the time it's either her just taking over my tentacle or my entire body. At the end of the day, the spirit has it's best interest in mind, which is simply to keep its host alive, whether that be to destroy the entire city, or kill everything and everyone around me, it will do it for the sake of not having to lose its host,' Ross thought to himself. Ross decided to walk around the city for a bit just to clear his head when he stumbled across a woman yelling. "Someone stop him, stop that man he took my purse," shouted the lady. Ross quickly fires a water bolt at the thief's legs, tripping him. Ross started walking towards him before saying, "you're the 7th bandit this week... AND IT'S ONLY MONDAY!!! How many...." Ross was interrupted due to a steel bullet, just missing his face, Ross grabbed the man by the legs, and slammed him on the ground repeatedly, while the man begged for mercy, eventually being knocked unconscious. Ross picks up the lady's purse and hands it to her before taking off.

Ross swings from building to building as he spots a gang of men cornering a little girl, with cupcakes in her hands. 'those sick fucks,' Ross thought to himself. "We didn't come here for any muffins child, we just wanna see that gyat, now shake it," said the man. " YOU FREAK!" shouted Ross as he launched himself at dizzying speeds, crashing into the man and planting him face-first into the ground. 'There's about 5 of them, maybe I can try using my trait 2, but I'll have to move the girl first,' Ross thought to himself. Ross grabbed the girl throwing her into the air as the group of men rushed towards him. "Trait amplification, THE KRAKE- cough cough, bwaahhh," Ross vomited up blood, and blood began to flow from his eyes. 'Silly child, using a trait ascension move that you aren't familiar with will cause a lot of damage to one's self,' said Luna, 'you're lucky that you have backup.' Ross wondered who this back-up could be but before he could ask footsteps began to be heard from the other side of the alleyway. Looking on, the bandits suddenly realized that feathers were raining softly from the sky and disintegrating upon contact with the ground.

"You lot are pathetic," came the voice of none other than Adrian as he suddenly stopped walking and simply stared at the shaking thugs

...

"Begone"

Suddenly, with a snap of his fingers, all of the feathers shot instantly toward the group, skewering them before they could make a sound. Adrian continued walking through the mess before stopping right in front of him "Hey Ross, long time no see," said Adrian, offering up a smile. Ross simply grunted at Adrian, looking up at him from his kneeled-down position. "Hey.. Adrian....Fancy seeing you here," said Ross trembling in pain. "Maybe I'll get you to a hospital?" suggested Adrian. "Nah... just... give me a minute,"

Adrian took Ross to Arkham's Pizza where they relaxed and discussed. "So Adrian, why aren't you out with Alex? You and him are usually working with each other," said Ross. "Alex is out with Spy, he's investigating the Hozeki mansion that we invaded on our last mission, which was the stronghold for many criminal schemes. Honestly, it's a wonder we didn't get more hurt," said Adrian. "But that's not what I came here to talk to you about, I'm sure you've noticed the random spike in criminal activity, it's also coincidentally when our borders are being pressed, our troops are stretched thin due to what happening inside of the capital and due to the border issues, but it's something else that is bugging me, every single active report is happening, almost on the outskirts of the city, there is almost no reports in the center," ended Adrian. " Do you think that it's something bigger than it is?" Asked Ross. "I'm not sure if I'm being honest, at this point this is all just speculation, that being said something is up," said Adrian

"BASHHH!" someone busted the windows of the pizzeria, causing everyone to run out in a panic while two more men came in. "Give us all the money you have," shouted 1 of the men, while turning his hands into a machine gun and blasting everything in the area. Another man shot spikes out of his hands spilling food and produce everywhere, Another started eating the furniture. Ross prepared to flood the entire store to get rid of all of them at once, seeing that the entire area was evacuated. "Ross don't! I'll take care of this, these guys can't come in here and make a mess of Arkham's pizza, this place is my home!" Yelled Adrian. "Trait Amplification," Ross looks at Adrian with a surprised face. 'If he fails that would be bad for him, I'd have no choice but to fight,' Ross thought to himself. "The Envelopment of Night!" Shouted Adrian.
