Dusk hits, as the trio makes their way to the albatross base. "Right what's the plan?" Lance says Alicard extends his hand out to wield a purple aura "This is a necromancy spell. With this after killing off at least one of there members, we'll have control of them for a good bit of time." Lance nods leading the way to the said base. The moon was at its highest as they reach a great oak with a treehouse like fort built inside of the leaves. "So then how do we get in?" Stryker asks Lance proclaims "Think like a thief, you either climb up the trunk or jump through the trees." "Or," Alicard says he reaches in his bag to grab a rope and ties it to the end of an arrow "We climb it like so." He casts himself a magic bow, places the arrow on the string, and shoots at the very bottom of the base. "Where did you get that?" Lance says in shock. "The same place where I got a healing spell and a bunch of summoning spells now let's go." Alicard says as he quickly and cautiously makes his way to the ropes end and begins to climb. The two others follow as they ascend to the top. Fortunately, there's a hatch where they were and it opened it up to them. The three get inside from the said latch and are brought into a storage room full of daggers, potions and then some. "Alright, there's a good chance when we leave this room all hells gonna break loose." Lance whispers as he takes a few smoke bombs "Ready?" Alicard and Stryker nod. Lance slowly opens the door to find not a living soul around. Just an empty corridor with only the moon lighting up the halls. The three set up their guard, as they walk down to one of the main rooms. A faint wire is spotted on the ground as Lance kneels down and cuts the thread of the trap. Suddenly, just after Lance cuts the thread, a needle almost nicks his face. The three look to see a member barely visible in the moonlight "Look what the cat's dragged in," A gruff scratchy voice says. "Lance, you're back. Good to see you, but oh? You brought a couple of outsiders into the base. You know what means." He drops down and it's seen that the man is masked with a black cloak wielding needles in his hands and daggers attached on his side "Why did you go through and trash my house!" Alicard demanded. "That's what our client said." Said the bandit. Lance stands up "who's the client Raven!" Raven laughs "Now I just can't let that out now can I?" Raven dashes towards the three needles at hand. Stryker with her sword out of the scabbard swings at him, but to no avail. Raven disappears and reappears behind her and about to stab her in the back of the neck. Alicard sees this and quickly draws and releases a magic arrow at Raven. Stryker ducks out of harms way and she tries to capitalize on Raven being occupied. She sharply turns but drops down to the floor after feeling a sharp pain from the arrow wound. Raven tries to stab her but his attack was blocked by the shield on her back. Lance watches on and soon gets an idea. He rummages through his bag, grabs a smoke pellet, and gently breaks it open to lace his dagger in the materials. With another dagger, he sparks his blade making it come alive with fire. With out warning he takes his aim at Raven and throws it at him. The dagger hits him right in the side setting his clothes alight. Alicard helps kindle the fire by sending out a fire ball at him leaving a big gash on his back. He drops down to his knees and collapses on the ground. "He's good as dead." Alicard says staring at the flaming man. "Now then," Lance says "time to revive him for our own right?" Alicard nods. He harnesses from within him a purple cloud of magic in his hands and sends it to Raven. Like a rag doll, he gets back up on his feet. His eyes a green and he pulses a purple aura. "Are you alright Stryker?" Alicard says. She gets up holding her side. "I will be." She says. Alicard nods and looks towards Lance "Right," Alicard says "where's the leaders ro-" he gets cut off by hearing a familiar tune play off in the distance. Alicard's eyes widen "No. It can't be." He quickly turns to the sound and runs off that way. "Hey wait for us!" Lance says running after him. Stryker, Raven, and Lance catch up to Alicard as he breaks through the door to see a silhouette of two people as one of them plays a violin. "Hello there... Alicard."
