Team FLME Volume 4

Good Terms

The opening ends to Leia lifts up her head, arms as the ready for a fight. Mason Ignis takes a swing at her with his left hand, but she easily blocks it with her wrist, pushing his hand away from her. The interplay repeats with his right and her left, only this time Leia uses the momentum to turn and come back at her father with a roundhouse kick. 

Mason bends backward to dodge it, his legs in a lunge. He gives his guest a solid punch, pushing her back a few feet.  He turns around to have Fred two foot kick him but is blocked by Mason's wrist, sending him back. Fred did a handspring and sent himself back towards the direction of his father and unleashed two strong kicks but were blocked by Mason who threw Fred back. 

Fred flipped in the air and slid back. Leia ran up and gave one punch with her right but it was blacked and Mason head butted her, knocking her onto the ground. Leia then swing kick at detective with Mason leaping back to avoid.

Leia does a hand-spring and unleashed a series of flurry kicks but were all blocked by Mason When Leia goes for another strike, Mason grabs her ankle and elbows her in the face. He then roundhouse kicks her in the back, knocking Leia to the ground.

Mason: Match done.

Leia slams the ground in frustration.

Fred: (Chuckles) He gets you a lot.

Leia: I've noticed. (Leia takes Fred's hand and gets up.) (To Mason) Thank you for the extra combat lessons Detective Ignis.

Mason: Oh anytime. Fred? You want another match?

Fred: I'm good, thanks.

Leia: Hey. Where are Ember and May?

Mason: There're out in the woods with Eves.

Fred: So, they're losing?

Mason: Perhaps. 

_________________________________________________________

Ember and May leap from tree to tree. The two land on the top of a large tree's canopy.

May: Where is she?

Ember: Sh. (Whispering) She can hear us.

May: (Whispering) Can't she see us.

May turns invisible and leaves the area. Ember looks around. He leaps down and back onto a tree branch. He looks around. Unknown to him, Evie Ignis comes down behind him, hanging upside down.

Evie: Boo.

Ember: Wha-?

May becomes visible again and looks around. Suddenly, Ember lands next to her, knocked out. She looks up to see Evie drop down at her. May rolls and slashes at Evie but is blocked and pushed back into a tree. Evie kicks her in the chest, knocking her out.

Evie: Who have put up a good fight... in the beginning. You became sloppy when you separated.

May: Noted.

Evie: May. Your sword play was good until you didn't use your semblance. I was watching you since you entered the canopy.

May: How?

Ember: Heighten senses. It's her semblance. Hence the reason why I am a thief. She taught me everything I know.

Evie: Not everything. Your father did a great deal.

Ember: Yeah but (sniff) still- (Sniffs again)

May: What is it?

Ember: (sniffs again) I don't believe-

Ember runs off back towards the house.

May: Ember?!

Ember keeps running back to the house. May and Evie give chase. Back at the house Mason and Fred punch one another back as Leia watches. Suddenly Ember leaps over the fence and runs to the front. Everyone looks on in confusion as Ember keeps running.

He stops and looks around. His eyes widen and he back hand-springs away from a slash from claws. When Ember rolls back and his team and parents join him. He smiles and looks on to Eadwulf Fenrir standing before him.

Eadwulf: You don't call, you don't write. Next thing you know, you're attacking me.

Ember: Yeah, yeah. (They bro hug)

Leia: Eadwulf?!

Eadwulf: Hey guys.

May: What are you doing here?

Eadwulf: Working with my team. (He points behind him to the rest of VILE.)

Ing: Hey guys!

Llew: Greetings. 

_________________________________________________________

FLME, VILE, Mason and Evie are standing in the backyard.

Fred: So, you came here following a map given to you (He points to Violet) by your mother?

Violet: Yeah, sounds about it.

Fred: Why?

Violet: Because we wanted to help you out, Hot Shot.

Fred: Well you came at a bad time, Lighting Breath.

Violet: Lighting Breath? I've known for what, a year. And NOW you give me the cute nickname.

Fred's eyes widen as the teams smile at them.

Fred: Uh?

Mason: Well son. It appears you have a lot more stories to tell us.

Fred: (Points to his father.) No, no!

Violet chuckles as does Mason.

Mason: Well, we already have the house filled so-

Llew: No worries. We have rented a room in the inn down the street.

May: Nice.

Ember: Hey, the more the merrier.

Fred: No. (To Violet) You came at a bad time. The last thing we need is more people getting involved.

A massive roar is heard. Everyone looks at one another.

Ember: Dad?

Mason's scroll rings.

Mason: Fort Dawn. What's going on?

Female Amber Square Civilian: Grimm, sir. Large one. And it looks like there are people- Argh!

Mason: Fort Dawn? Fort Dawn?!

The roar is heard again and the Harrapari appears over Amber Square. On the back is Lavenza Volt and Damson Shade.

Lavenza: Go for the boy. We want him alive. (Damson nods) We will deal with a distraction.

Damson leaps off the Harrapari and lands on the ground. He cracks his neck.

Damson: Time for some fun! (Laughs wickedly.)

Scene cuts to black.
