Five days later...
The heroes are almost at a slightly run down town, with Rox in particular being silent.
Ariyae: "Feels weird for me to be the only loudmouth here."
Cale: "I know, but Rox and Owen have been growing distant for the past 400 years."
Makoh: "Y-Yeah, it doesn't help that no one has heard from him in about 70."
Ariyae: "I'll never get used to hearing those numbers when you all look like you're 16."
They have arrived.
Cale: "This is where Owen has been?"
The streets are barren and tattered, the people look lost and hopeless, and the buildings have seen better days.
Rox: "Why? Why here?"
They cautiously walk along the streets, ready for almost anything coming their way.
Makoh: "It feels so... hopeless here."
Cale clings to Ariyae's arm.
Cale: "(terrified) N-No kidding!"
They can hear motorcycle engines slowly getting louder and louder.
Rox: "What's with the engines?"
They walk around a right corner as Makoh inches closer to Ariyae.
Makoh: "I-I don't want to find out."
Ariyae: "(groaning) Why me?"
A male with a dark grey helmet, black, leather, unzipped jacket, black jeans, dark grey boots, an orange scarf, a navy blue, stained T-shirt, and black, fingerless gloves on a motorcycle passes by them.
Cale: "Uh oh..."
Dozens more head straight for them.
Ariyae: "A-A gang?!"
The bikes surround them before they can escape, their riders of almost every race there is.
Makoh: "H-Holy shit!"
Gang Member 1: "You unlucky bastards look like you've got something worthwhile."
Two members get off of their bikes and walk up to them.
Gang Member 2: "Cough it up."
Rox: "I'd like to see you try."
Gang Member 3: "These ones have some bite!"
They assume fighting stances.
???: "That's enough."
The lone rider arrives at the scene.
Gang Members: "Boss?"
Boss: "They've got immunity."
Makoh: "H-Huh?!"
He takes off his helmet, revealing a young male Human with dirty, blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and a tattoo of the number 777 on his neck.
Cale: "O-Owen?!"
Owen: "Go. I'll deal with them."
The other bikers ride away.
Rox: "(tearing up) Owen..."
