Sending a message ((Mark, Annette and Kuukyo))

[Annette]

She stashed another handful of gold coins into her pockets and smiled "All done sir! Lets keep moving!" she cheerfully said and strolled over to the doorway.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*He strapped the two bags to his belt and then stepped out, taking a moment to track where they had to go he walked and pushed another door open, stopping and listening he started to hear movement coming their way, Mark growled, it was to early to be caught. He then looked around trying to find a place to hide, the first place they would look was the hole Annette had smashed so that meant hiding there was useless.*

Damn, think... think...

*He then snapped his fingers grabbing Annette's arm.*

Mark: This way. *He said then when they were just a bit away from the pile of gold he waved his hands and a shield of light pushed the gold up, he got under the barrier.* Once under the barrier I'll drop it, so hold your breath okay?

*He said waiting for her to come.*

[Annette]

((I'm sorry if it'll mess up the plot, but I got the idea that you wanted Annette to go under the barrier too ^^;. If that wasn't the plan, I can change.))

She nodded "Um, no problem sir!" she said as she struggled to get under the barrier. Hmm, I guess I should of told him that Light magic + Me equals a lot of pain... she thought, biting her lip as the steps started coming closer. Annette sighed and rolled under the barrier, yelping when she came across. "S-sorry sir, I hope I wasn't to loud." she whispered.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*The gold on top of the shield made it look just another mound of gold, at least it looked like that to the soldiers.*

Eh? *he thought hearing her wince.* She's in pain... wonder why...

Mark: Don't worry about it. *He whispered seeing the soldiers see the broken wall and ran in, the shield vanished letting the two up.* Are you okay?

[It's fine, that's what I meant.]

[Annette]

"Huh?" she looked up "Umm, yeah I'm fine. I just hit something when I came under." she tightened her grip around her rifle "are you ready to drop the barrier?" she asked, her pained mind focused on the task at hand.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*He dropped it letting her up.*

Mark: Yeah... *he nodded.* Can you still carry on with the mission?

[Annette]

When Mark dropped the barrier surrounding them, Annette felt relieved. She grinned, a rush of energy brightened her face "I sure can now, sir!" she exclaimed, pointing her rifle at the two guards in the room.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

Seems to me she has some weakness to my light?... I wonder why...?

*He shrugged off the thought then walked out of the door. He started to walk down the hallway and then made a left.*

Mark: We're almost there, just a bit further.

[Annette]

Annette nodded, her rifle kept in the same position. "Okay sir." she whispered back.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*Mark ran up and saw two guards at the throne room.*

So much for taking it silently... *He thought then held out his hands as he ran, two blades suddenly appeared into his hands. He then vanished from Annette's sights for a moment then appeared in front of one of the guards, with two quick slashes the guard was down on the ground and before the second could react Mark grabbed him and threw him into the door making him fly right into the throne room, the door flying in small wooden pieces.*

Mark: Sorry to burst in on you, king of Vuoto... *he said as he entered the throne room, a smirk on his face.*

[Kuukyo Boukyaku]

Before Mark had thrown his two guards into the door he was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed, taking a moment of rest when he heard the fighting outside then the door burst into pieces followed by the spiky-hair man. He looked at him then sat up straight.

"... Hero I presume, coming here all by yourself?" he asked, not yet seeing Annette.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

Mark: Sorry, but I didn't come alone. *he waited a moment before speaking once more.* Come on out, Annette.

[Annette]

"Yes sir." Annette replied, clutching her rifle in her hands. She stood beside Mark now, her gaze focused on the Sumata king. "That's what a Sumata looks like?she thought, slightly tilting her head "He looks...young..."

[Kuukyo Boukyaku]

His gaze turned to the girl, she didn't look like much other then the gun in her hand which is almost unheard of in this planet, but still, to underestimate her would be deadly. Why Mark he had battled before but so briefly he didn't get a good idea on what his powers were, he knew he has defeated some of the Sumata before so he was up against this boy which Trucido seemed to know.

"Heroes..." he stood up reaching for a blade which was a little bigger then half his size, he held it and swung it like a feather. "I'll assume this was orders from your leader to come and kill me...? No, it would be unlike them. They haven't attacked a kingdom at all, you two are working on your own."

He gave a small laugh pointing his sword at them.

"Do not hold back, in fact, go ahead and take the first strike."

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*Mark raised an eyebrow at this, taking the first strike? To do so might fall into a trap, to not attack might also be a mistake. Finally he decided.*

Mark: Annette, be careful. *He warned before touching the ground, suddenly it burst with light then directed itself to Kuukyo, moving like a snake as five of them flew right at him with intense speed.*
