"So this is Lloyd's Barn of Weapons!" Evangeline said happily as they neared it, finally getting the name. Lloyd Barns, Lloyd's Barn of Weapons? Lol.

"You know, I heard there was an alley pop-up near here that sold limited edition ultram 3000 mattresses," She continued This got Ayden's attention.

"REALLY?!" He exclaimed, his dark eyes lighting up.

"No," she smiled, "Let's go in!"  She pushed past the others, opening the door to Lloyd's Barn of Weapons.

They heard the tinkle of a bell as the three of them followed her inside. The store was a cluttered mess with weapons covering the walls and dumped in various buckets with signs indicating the price. A young girl was at the cash register, chewing gum.

"Hello," Blake said, greeting her, "I'm looking for a spear."

"Over there," The girl said without even looking up, gesturing towards the left wall. Blake scanned the various spears along the wall, quickly determining that White February was not among them.

"Well the spear I'm looking for is special," he tried.

"Describe."

"It's one of those things that, when you hold it, you just know is valuable. You can just feel the power."

"Okay dude," the girl snapped annoyed, "We have a lot of weapons here and that description is way too vague!"

"Its whitish with a tint of blue," Evangeline added, "also very shinny."

"Oh! Yeah. I think I know what you're talking about," she said recalling the spear her boss had bought a while ago. It was pretty and all, but way too expensive for anyone to buy, "that kid bought it." They looked around, spotting an unknown male, holding a box in his hands. He panicked and ran for the door, grabbing the handle.

"You're not going anywhere," Blake said, his arm raised and his palm facing the door. Blake clenched his hand into a fist and the unknown figure crumpled to the floor, withering in pain, shinsu crushing him. The box, containing what they assumed to be White February started to levitate. The man made a futile attempt, reaching for it before it got too far away. He immediately shrank back, the pressure around him increasing under Blake's command.

The box floated towards the four of them, Evangeline jumped, snatching it out of the air. She forced the box open, grabbing the spear happily.
