Arashi, Akari
Hearing Sakura's choice, the trio broke into a run, Arashi giving them all a boost with gusts of wind.
"Abend, I want you to scout again, try not to get caught." With a caw, the raven left, and Akari turned to her companions. We'll have to be fast though. Should we get to Amaya and Yukio without any trouble, then as a group we can take down of the member's groups, before turning back and taking care of the other. From there, we'll move south, providing aid to the brothers."
Arashi nodded, satisfied with the plan. "Akari, you still have to take vanguard, my close combat skills have not yet improved."
Said girl sighed, but acknowledged what her childhood friend said. "Let's just hope we aren't pushed to use our shifts..." Turning to face the front after a quick survey of her surroundings, she sped up to reach the front of the group, taking the lead towards the gate.

Amaya and Yukio
"Yukio, create a wall of ice behind us. I'll speed up after you do."
Yukio's eyes widened in surprised. He knew she was a folian, but had thought that this was her max running speed. He did not know she could go further.
"Kid?"
"Ah..." His companion's voiced drew him out of his thoughts, and he struggled to feel the water vapor in the air. "I'll...I'll see..." This was one of the rare times he was not sure of his own ability. Could he do it? Concentrating, he used a bit of the water stored in his necklace -he refiled it at Akari's house- and used it as a medium to draw more water to the sphere. His snapping open, he let go his hand in which the ever-growing ball of water was in, twisting his body so he could aim for the open space in the middle of two houses, and sending the sphere flying. In an instant, a wall appeared. Though not the height he'd hoped for, it would do as a delay. Amaya smirked, noting that he had to practice, to which yukio gave an annoyed grunt to, and she sped up, becoming a blur as she ran ahead of the wolf, and out the gate, turning left.

Shade looked up at peace. Her head barely left the ground before she dropped it again, exhausted. She cawed weakly to Harry. "Kill. Josiah. Equal. Cure." Harry nodded. He had a gift that he could translate things in peoples minds. The others understood and moved towards Josiah. They encountered many Dark Gang members, but were struggling to reach Josiah. Each time they cut one down, three more approached them. Suddenly, an ear splitting scream split the air. Everyone turned to Josiah, to see a giant dagger protruding from his chest. The dagger was removed from his chest and Josiah fell, face first onto the ground. The person holding the dagger was none other than...Dmitri? Reluctantly, Harry and Shade shifted again. "I'm sorry." Shade whispered.

Shane "is everyone alright". Peace "I got a few cuts Shade and Harry are human, and Ladia healed herself". He said this as he struck down the last dark gang member. Shane (to Dmitri) "you feeling better". Peace "he had a rough night and so did we lets head back and find the others". The group started to head back home to rest the night.

When Shade, Harry and Dmitri got back to the lobby. Shade pulled Dmitri aside. She looked him in the eye...then slapped him hard round the face! "What the hell was that?" She looked at him sorrowfully then gave him a huge hug. "Don't you dare pull something like that again, or I'll kill you myself! You scared the life out of me. Also, your dad is f******g scary!" They laughed at that. "Yeah, sorry Shade. Forgot to mention my Dads a controlling, possessive, retarded psychopath...who wears nice suits!" They laughed harder this time and returned to the group. "I really want a cheeseburger." Shade murmured to Dmitri. They collectively started talking about today's events, and injuries. It was a very depressing subject, from Shades point of view. "You know what's running through my head right now?" Shade started, casually. "Where's my chesseburger?!" Shade and Dmitri laughed whilst everyone else gave them confused looks!

Peace "what cheeseburger?" he said in a confused tone. Shane rolls his eyes at peace. Shane "we better head back to bed (yawn) it's getting late". Ladia "before we do give me that sign in sheet, i'm going to join your little team". Ladia quickly signs up. Ladia "now wheres my room?".

((Ehhhhhh So we're still stuck fighting gang members? I don't think the rest would have known that Josiah was dead....))

(light your flare no one knows your in trouble)

((XD Lol I'm waiting till both groups meet, and waiting on loli, don't want her to get left out! ^^ Leh, sry for pinging the two of you >>))

Oh sorry guys XD I've been in and out all day!
Caldy was relieved to finally have stopped the battle. And it seemed like everyone was relatively unscathed. He was slightly worried for Dmitri's sanity, having just killed his own father, but he seemed like he was coping just fine. He had also noticed that this particular group of Dark Gang members looked pretty tanned. Meaning that they were from the South, either Fola or Doiteain. At least they had a place to start now!
Caldwell yelled out to the group before they could go any further into the hotel. "What about the other guys?" he said. Surely if they had been attacked then the others had too.
~~~~~~```
Sakura, Akari and Arashi eventually caught up with Yukio and Amaya. They were running, and Amaya was surprisingly fast. She looked behind her. There were about 9 Dark Gang members close on their tails, along with the 6 that they had brought along. "I say we can take them," she said. Instead of waiting for anyone's response, she turned around, shifting at the same time and pounced on top of the closest chaser. She dug her claws into his face and chest. She also used her powers, and tripped a few other gang members with vines, making it easier for the other four to fight.
"Good news guys, it smells like Shade is okay," she shouted out over the noise of falling people (you can choose if the others fight or not Soltra XD)

((Bad move Loli, I've been listening to GUren no Yumiya and it put me in a fighting mood XD we'll battle a bit before scuttling away ^^))

Arashi, Akari ((All those A's @____@))

Akari grinned. Finally! A fight! "Arashi!"
Arashi nodded, smiling that they could re-use a technique that they devised in the past. Dashing ahead to grab Sakura out of the way, he did a backflip and placed Sakura down, immediately jumping up into the sky with a burst of air, and shifted. Akari smirked, drawing out her katana and stabbing it into the ground, causing fire to spread form the crack in the ground towards the members, fanning out from the starting point.
To add to the blaze, Arashi whipped up another gust of wind and directed it towards the flames. With the wind behind it, the flames became an inferno, effectively swallowing the gang members, though two escaped by sheer luck, though did not live long as Sakura used her vines to fling them back to the trio, where Akari promptly took care of them. Using her ability over fire, Akari extinguished the fire, signaling to Arashi that he could shift back. The griffin shook his head, instead aiming a small tornado at 3 of the other gang members that Amaya and Yukio were currently fighting.

Amaya and Yukio

Whist the other three were taking care of six of the members, Amaya and Yukio took went and faced off the 9 that chased them, and with Sakura's vines tripping them up, Amaya had an easier time, since with the tripped up members, Yukio could fight without any problems of them swamping him. While Yukio drew out his sword and attacked three that were going after him -he used the ice element to freeze their feet to make it easier for him- ((He's still not good at it so it served as a very short delay)) Amaya dashed behind one of those that decided to take her on, silting his throat before doing the same to the one who wanted to stab his sword in her heart, smirking as she took out each one of them, and none of them seemed to be able to turn around quick enough to land a blow on her, the furtherest they twisted was a mere 45 degrees angle before their eyes closed. As the two took down 6 of the 9 members, Arashi trapped the other 3 in an air vortex, and let Akari set the vortex on fire. Dissipating the mini-tornado, Arashi landed on the ground and shifted back.
"Alright, let's get back, we must see how the others are doing." And with that from the flame-haired girl, the five ran off, as Abend and Tsuki followed them.
