PHOENIX: Three Wanderers #16. The Irresistible Force Versus the Advantageous Object!

--- South End of Alqarf Min-Alhazi: Ruined Road ---

Rossy~ Why hello Homura's champion! It is nice to see you again! I didn't expect you to be here. That complicates things.... I'm going to have to ask you and your crew to not interfere.

Cain~ Rossy!

Mahaz~ The bastard shows himself.

The green-haired clown specter smirks as the group readies their weapons.

Dalia~ So this is him? I wasn't expecting him to look so.... Clown-y. Like literally he's like a clown!

Cain~ Yeah.. Thanks for making it so easy to find you! What the hell are you planning here?

Rossy~ Aw. You took my word and have been looking for me? You make me blush Cain! I'm just here to watch my friend evolve. Unfortunately, this town just happened to be a key to that evolution.

Louis~ Well, now ain't that a sight. Nice to meet you, legendary specter of Jinn but you picked the wrong town for your little evolution.

Anna~ Less talking Dad. Let's just tear him to shreds.

Rossy~ Oh, what a foul mouth on a lady... but no need. I understand your frustration. Actual Louis... You just happen to be a key to his evolution! I'm going to have to ask you to meet him! Think fast old bones!

Rossy flicks a playing card

Cain~ Don't touch that card!

Cain was too late to warn him. The card connects with Louis's shoulder and he disappears in the blink of an eye. His body was replaced with a busted automobile.

Anna~ What happened? What did you do to him!?

Dalia~ Transfer Magic? I've never seen it before.

Mahaz~ where'd you send the old man?

Rossy~ He is simply seeing an old friend, You all should focus on the here and now tho.

Rossy clicks his fingers and several tattered stands around the round road are replaced with some 5 two horned Jinns. Two of the Jinns were humanoid but about the size of a normal male adult with a beefy upper body and red hair. The other three were aerial Jinn with an eagle-like Jinn with dark brown hair following from the mask. Anna, Mahaz, Dalia, and Amyr clash with the Jinn and Cain runs straight past them and at Rossy. Rossy jumps back as Cain swings at him. He dodges the attacks gracefully. Cain almost connects but Rossy stops the blade with the barrel of his revolver. Rossy smiles as Cain grits his teeth.

Cain~ WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?

Rossy~ Heh... well I keep telling you and you're not satisfied. So let me just say this. My friends, the Jinn and I are an enemy to your goddess. You're Homura will die by our hand. If not by us, by the many we follow. The Jinn follow the powerful. You shall see soon. So please, move along with your day champion!

At the mention of Homura's death, Cain becomes livid and his sword is set ablaze. Rossy moves away as his hand is almost set on fire. Cain swings diagonally at him. But Rossy suddenly catches the flaming blade in his hand. Cain's eyes widen; the Goddess's flame has no effect. Rossy smiles as he suddenly snaps the blade of Cain's katana and chucks the broken blade away. He then tapped Cain's forehead with his index and middle fingers and Cain disappeared just like Louis. In his place was a bird. The rest of the group were astonished but didn't have time to react as the Jinn continued to attack them. Rossy placed his revolver in his holster and patted down his clothes before walking away and leaving the Jinn to take care of the others.
