Team FLME: Volume 5

Place That We Found

The opening ends to Mason Ignis getting up, though slowly and painfully. He finally sits up and holds his head in pain.

Mason: Wha-

Mason turns and sees Evie struggling to get up.

Mason: Evie!

Mason moves over and and sets her head on his lap.

Evie: Mace?

Mason: (Sighs) Hey sweetheart.

Mason leans down and pecks her forehead. He looks up and sees he and Evie are in a cell within Salem's Domain. Behind his bars, on the outside are Lavenza Volt and Roz Quarzo.

Mason: Lavenza!

Lavenza: Yes, yes. It is swell to see you yet again you pathetic excuse for carbon.

Mason: What do you want?!

Lavenza: Currently, nothing. Though, I will admit it is satisfyingly seeing you here. Sad, lonely and confused. It's both pathetic and quite enjoyable to witness.

Evie lifts her head to face the two.

Evie: Oh shut up!

Lavenza: Good to see you are well, Evie. It has been some time since you and I have communed.

Evie: Save it! What do you REALLY want from us?

Lavenza: You two and the others are of use to us, in time.

Mason: If you think, my boys will-

Lavenza: I do. They will come. Because they are just as pathetic as you. And of their name.

Lavenza walks away. Roz is about to join him by Mason throws a small rock at her which forces her to turn around.

Mason: And you. This is what you have become? A killer?

Roz: A revolutionary.

Mason: You're no better than them.

Roz: So be it.

Evie: Roz! Think. Is this what you want to be apart of? This isn't salvation for Faunus. This is death for everyone and thing. Please, come back to us, to Isaac.

As the above is spoken, Roz has turn to walk away but stops keeps a stern look on until Isaac is mention which gets her to widen her eyes and gain a worried look.

Evie: The boy who took you off the streets, who helped you. Who treated you as family. WE treated you like family.

Roz turns around and activates her semblance and launches a pick shield towards Evie. Mason leaps in front of her and takes the hit for her.

Roz: Irrelevant. He will die. The same as anyone else who stands in our way.

Mason: Do you truly believe that? Or are you saying that to survive?

Roz: What choice do I have?! (She walks up to the cell) It's neither die or join. And you will die!

Evie: You're a coward!

Roz: Cowards do survive.

Roz walks away as both Mason and Evie lean up against the wall.

April: Sounds like you guys are real good friends.

Mason and Evie stand up and look through a small window into the cell next to theirs. Inside are March and April Fumi.

Evie: And you are?
