Subpar

"I've found it. The secret to the red mist that killed so many of us.It seems to be a mix of the

Fabled enhancement mist that is sold only once every year of on the guiding light market, and a strange concoction of…. Someone's here. Reveal yourself as an aggressor. Ah, what a surprise. I guess my research has ascended to the point of inconvenience.Ooh, a negator field. No matter. Might as well take out some of yall before I kick the bucket. Die in the place we lost so many."

Ping, a message appears on Nacht's phone.

" Guiding, source of red mist, source of chimera, evidence being burnt. Tell Jesse that I'm sorry"

The drip of tears flowed down his face.

The door flung open, a man encased in anger teleported from place to place, running, dashing.

An hour later he arrives at the jungle where she was. A flame seemed to have coarsed everywhere. Right through the flames he ran, reckless abandon taking him other, tears flowing just as fast as before. He spots a body in the fire. Lifting his hand, he forms a sphere around her, which he launches out of the flames. A mad dash to the hospital. "There's nothing we can do, we're so sorry," they say. He doesn't listen. He runs out, and in a shrouded place teleports with the limp body. To his own house he goes, to share her final moments with him.The son is distraught, crying to the heavens in anguish.So does the man. So does the man. The woman clutches something tightly in her hand. A red tinted leaf.

Ring Ring Ring. 4:00.Time for a workout.

"I think it would be best for my run if I only went to places I've been before, considering how many people here could finish me off in five seconds(flash back to the beat down of the havoc fight, and getting slapped to the floor by kashikoi)." Gao considered.

"Heyyo, wait for me," Roshi mumbled, stumbling out of bed.

On the first leg of the run

"Ah, Yue got out before us as usual."

"Don't waste energy talking." Yue shouted behind her.

"I guess she's a nocturnal creature, just like her name implies." Gao proclaimed

"Teenagers might as well be nocturnal creatures." Yue retorted.

"I thought we weren't meant to waste energy talking." Roshi chuckled.

The three of them smiled.

"So, where are we jogging too, we kinda went past the point me and Roshi had planned." Gao asked.

"I found out yesterday that the training hall we fought in was on this floor. So, I thought we would get some extra weapon practice there as well." Yue replied.

" Nice idea. Our proficiency is, to say the least, subpar."

"You don't say Roshi."

The trio spot a woman with long blue hair in the middle of the training hall, with a wry smile on her face.

"LUCARIA!"
