- Snowflake -
"Aww, thanks Reaves!" Snowflake slumped down on a seat and let out a relieved sigh. Her face quickly filled with a satisfied smile after she pushed the questions she wanted to ask Felix out of her head. "That Pursuer from last night.. Unless he found a way to survive a fall from the roof while diving headfirst into the concrete, I think we've seen the last of him."

Lilly clapped her hands, and went back on to the stage, in order to inform everyone that the fundraiser is over, and would like to thank everyone for their donations and attendance.
Luke had no idea who was speaking to him, yet didn't have to respond as The Broker informed, 'Starlass' on the situation.

LHudson | May 17 2015 - The Broker -
The Broker coughed. "She has Jason, though she want's Felix and my pride in exchange for his life." He leaned back again. "I cannot believe this one screw up could cost the city." He sighed. "No one is going to die, not on my watch, if you want to help me save Jason you're going to have to be as covert as possible."
He looked at the others. "I'm going to head there now." He pressed a few buttons on the monitor. "i've informed the Tower of the meetup, but just make sure they don't go overboard, for the sake of all of us."
He cut off the communication before facing the others. "Luke, you and Claudia are going to return to Heartania, I don't want to risk this backfiring." He got out of the truck and walked towards the bike, he jumped on. "Felix, get on."
- Shadow Fixer -
He took a moment to look at the moon. 2am maybe? Been a long time since he was out. Hopefully the Marshal's influence has been destroyed, he needed some rest. He walked past the others and simply said "I'm going back to the Tower, you can pick up the bodies from the mall if you wish", before continuing his journey.
- Benedict Strahm -
Benedict clapped alongside the others before looking at Ragno. He handed him his contact card. "Call me, would love to have a casual drink with a fellow businessman." He left the building and looked out at the courtyard. It was nice, peaceful, lovely.

"Okay, I'll have to tell Lilly about this," Luke replied. Though he would normally protest that he should be allowed to help in a situation like this, he needed to make sure nothing happened to Lilly back at Heartania. Luke hopped into the truck, that The Broker and Felix had left. "Guys, be careful," Luke added as he peered at The Broker and Felix on the motorbike. - Raven -
Lilly watched as many of the attendees, were beginning to stagger and spill out of the main hall, until Lilly caught up with Mr. Ragno who hadn't seemed to have left, just yet.
"Mr. Ragno, may I have a word with you?" She asked.

Arbor117 | May 17 2015 - The Speaker -
Ragno looked over the card, noting the name and address to be followed up on, and started slightly when Lilly called out to him. He deployed his classic warm smile and turned to face her. "Of course, of course!" He exclaimed. "Let me say, excellent job. That speech was marvelous! If you haven't earned a great deal of wealth for the Citadel today, I'll eat my hat. I have many, so it'll be a long decision making process..." He quickly shut down that train of thought, returning to the rails with a chuckle. "Sorry, aging minds tend to wander. What would you like to talk about?" - Reaver -
An eyebrow raised into amused cynicism on Reaver's face.
"You think he's dead?" She asked, with only the slightest break in her voice indicating her amusement. "That tank of a man is as tough as ten feet of steel. I'll bet you several thousand dollars that he'll have survived to come on hunting us another day." She shrugged. "If I'm wrong though, and you did kill him, good fucking job! The Pursuer is a pain in my ass, and having him gone will make life a great deal easier."

Arla | May 17 2015 - Felix Norwood -
Felix jumped onto the back of the bike after waving a quick goodbye to Luke and Claudia. He felt gloomy, knowing that Snowflake would get him back in one piece and when she did, he’d be sent straight home. Unless the heroes of the Tower intervenes, I’m dead. Father is going to kill me, and then Mother is going to kill Flurry for getting me into this. Felix froze as the next thought popped into his head. If they find out the Broker kidnapped me.. Oh God.“..when you found out I was Flurry’s brother,” he whispered to the Broker, “did you leave any trace? I don’t know how it works, but is there any way to figure out that you looked at her file? And did you look at my file?” - Snowflake -
“We’ll just have to wait and see. In my experience..” Snowflake’s eyes flickered and she brought her hand to her forehead. A slight headache burst forth in the front of her skull. “..it’s never bad to keep an eye open while you sleep. Do you have a bottle of water?”

SpaceManFromMars | May 17 2015 - Inferno -
Inferno spoke up, " If the Purseur is still alive then I'll kill him. Since Snow was unable to. And, speaking of the hulking brute over there. Since I got barely nothing in terms of actions, apart from throwing a few balls of fire at Broker the magical wizard" She spat, "I want something to do. So, can I torture him? We've only to bring him back alive. So, I can torture him to the point he won't die. Just critically injured?" She said. - Bellona Warhammer -
Bellona felt the tug, she almost went with it if she hadn't of managed to dig her heels into the ground. She's was smart enough to make this shields chain out of something that couldn't be cut so easily with any kind of sword. Even if it were to break then she would gain an upper hand. With the weight of her shield gone then she could manoeuvre about a lot quicker, so she could out speed her opponent. She continued her onslaught of slashes against Ares.

"Thank you. I haven't checked our funds, but from what I can gather, we have funds at least in the thousands, which can help us start off," Lilly informed, returning a warm smile in order to convey appreciation for Ragno's compliments. She looked around, lowering her voice. "However it's the private matter of our deal. Could we go speak somewhere more private?" Her frown suddenly reappeared into a loving smile, as she hugged an acquaintance by the name of Mary Shelley, personal assistant to her father and now running her own business and wished her goodbye. Her features returned to a frown, as her eyes returned to Ragno. - Hunter -
Luke began the truck and he was off, vaguely remembering the directions back to Heartania, sighing as he wondered how he would break the news of the disastrous events that both followed and were to come, to Lilly. He hoped The Broker could secure a deal with Reaver, which did not involve comprising the integrity of the entire Citadel at stake.

- The Broker -
The Broker started the bike and drove away, and towards the decrepit stadium that would become the exchange point. The roads were dark, nearly empty, and the stadium was miles away. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, before replying. "We didn't leave a single trace of our presence. The only person whom was able to track me down was..." He stopped himself. "Well...he's back with his family now." He turned a corner. "I won't lie, I am scared, and I will be able to keep the Citadel up, though not without angering those above me, this will be a lengthy battle, but I will not sacrifice someone just so my job can be a little easier." He swallowed. "Tell me about your sister."
- The Chaser -
Luke drove the truck and Claudia took to the passenger seat, monitoring the locations of those around the city. Starlass, Jonathan, the VTOL, and Knight. She sighed deeply. "What's wrong Claudia?' She looked at the empty passenger seat, her mother. "Reaver is a pain, trying to cause chaos for the sake of it." "And yet, she has managed to get a following, and from what I gathered one is through money and the other two trained like good little domesticated animals." Claudia nodded. "They've got Jonathan into a vice lock." "But you still have the tools to save them." Mother faded away as Claudia sighed deeply. She continued to type away before something struck her. Who has Reaver got beef with? Who was able to hold off Reaver in a way that would interest her? She typed, researched, security archive footage, and finally found the climax of the conflict. She took a deep breath and started studying the footage. Bingo!She sent the information before jumping in the near empty cargo. She fiddled with the floor storage doors before saying "Luke, turn this van around!"
- Shadow Fixer -
Cooper continued his walk towards the Tower before coming to the gates. Landed aircraft was there, and a small crowd of people, officials, had gathered around the entrance. "The High Council demands access to the medical ward of this institution!" said one. Oh, fantastic, thought Cooper as he shuffled through the gathering towards the door, taking a look at the one fallen, the Pursuer. He was out cold, sustained some damage to his armour, head wound, shoulder wound, he'll recover, though the High Council might not be so kind. He continued walking through the crowd before getting to the entrance. He banged on the door before he was let inside. He sighed deeply before making his way to the elevator. "Doctor Cooper" said the receptionist. He turned around. "What is it this time?" "We might have something that might interest you." "Save it for tomorrow. Not in the mood", replied Cooper before making his way back to the elevator. "It's from the High Chancellor's office, urgent orders". Cooper froze in place. The face, the High Chancellor, it was familiar. He existed in his memories yet was able to block them. He knew about Jade, and the relationship the two had. He had some questions. He stormed back to the receptionist and defiantly said "Where is the High Chancellor?" The receptionist turned the screen around to see Capital City, a stadium, disused, empty. "He gone here to make an exchange with Reave--" "Reaver?" This might be his lucky day. Two birds, one stone. Reaver loves to fight, and Cooper loves to hunt. The utter contempt he has for this little bitch was strong, and no doubt she would be looking for a fight. "Do you still have some of my gear?" "We've been unable to get anything through to the evidence locker, and your power supply unit--" "Do you still have my weapons manufacturer?" The receptionist sighed before opening a vault behind her. Some bullets, confiscated from when they figured out how to work the device, pristine condition, had to be transferred to somewhere suitable, though Cooper would make better use for them. She passed him 9 bullets, the maximum he could carry, before opening the door to let him out. The crowd of officials started ordering him to let them in, in which he replied in a rather juvenile "make me". He climbed aboard the VTOL and threw one of the officials out before sealing the back door. He drew his blade and placed it against the neck of the pilot. "Take me to Capital City" he order, before placing some pressure against his neck.

- Starlass -
Tower, this is Starlass. Has the Broker given you the low-down?" "Indeed he has. I have a few questions, though, foremost of which is 'why is the Broker with you in Capital City?'." "I hate to keep secrets, but I can't answer that presently. The Chancellor wants the details of our operation to be as confidential as possible." "Fair enough, I won't pry. You'll be interested to know that Doctors Cooper and Mills returned. Mills is in a rough state, but Cooper looked fighting fit, and looked like he was coming to intervene." Shit. Fixer would make things unpredictable. "You didn't stop him?" "Hell no! He's an assassin, I'm a receptionist. What was I supposed to do? He just grabbed some gear and jumped in a plane." Sigh. "Alright, thank you. We'll have to deal with him when he arrives. Relay the exact location to Knight, if you will. Layouts of the building and all." She switched off the channel and turned to her allies, keeping only Knight's open. "Alright. Our good Chancellor is walking into a trap, whether he likes it or not, and it's down to us to disassemble Reaver's plan lest two men who could do a world of good for Heartania die tonight. Unfortunately, we've got two big obstacles in our way: First, Reaver will shoot her hostage, the hero Hammerfist, if anyone besides the Broker shows themself too early. Second, the Shadow Fixer is on the way, and while he is the only person I know who can hold against Reaver in single combat, he's also wildly unpredictable and will likely make a mess of things if he arrives at the wrong time. His ETA is around ten minutes, so let's get things done quickly." "We need a seriously effective plan of attack, and one that won't take any time at all to execute. Luckily, we've got such a broad range of talents here that we should be able to come up with something."
- The Chieftain -
Ares staggered backwards, feeling the strain from Bellona's onslaught. In his mind, all he could think of was what might have happened if he'd decided to just deal with the shield instead of putting himself at a disadvantage like this. Strike after strike, just barely deflected. This wouldn't last forever. It didn't. Finally, one of Bellona's blows made it through, catching Ares on the shoulder and leaving him off balance. He could see the follow up coming. That's that then. He dropped to one knee, under Bellona's blade, and released the chain. He dug the tip of his sword into the ground. "I concede. I guess that makes us even. Well fought, Warhammer."

Arla | May 18 2015 - Felix Norwood -
"No." Felix said with a determined voice. A moment of silence fell upon them as he explained why. "I could do that, but I won’t. Despite everything, she’s still my sister and.. well, I want to believe that she can change. If I somehow can make her see that what she is doing is wrong, then maybe she will change." His voice died down as he listened to the unlikely hope he held and rested his head on the Broker’s back, hugging him a bit tighter. "..But she won’t, right?" he mumbled and closed his eyes, which stung somewhat from the dry wind lashing at his face. - Snowflake -
Snowflake twitched her nose and looked at Inferno.
“It’s nice to know just how much faith you have in me.” She leaned back against the wall, the seat being attached to the wall, and took a few deep breaths while she felt the bitter taste of exhaustion. She didn't care how she got Felix back; when she eventually did, however, she would send him straight home.

Arbor117 | May 18 2015 - Reaver -
Reaver smirked as the women argued. She threw a bottle of water across to Snow, before turning to face all her companions. "I'm gonna need all hands on deck for this one. We're facing the Broker man-to-man, but there's a veritable legion of heroes in the area and I'm pretty fucking sure he's going to rely on their aid." She declared. "Now, if we pull this off we humble that cocky little shit Broker and get Felix back. But to do so, we need to hold the heroes up..." A wolffish smile came to her face. "Ferny, how would you like to burn some arrogant sons-of-bitches into screaming piles of ash? - The Speaker -
agno chuckled, nodding an agreement.
"It's your building! Take me to one of the many meeting rooms you must have. Whatever this issue is, I'd be delighted to discuss it."

"Wait what? Why?" Luke asked, feeling compelled to turn the van around yet slowed down slightly as he kept pressing forward, waiting for Claudia's explanation. - Raven -
Lilly smiled, and prompted for Ragno to follow her outside as most of the guests were either leaving and heading back into their cars, or speaking to the assistants inside.

"You know" A voice was heard behind Broker, his shadow on the VTOL suddenly moving on it's own as it manifested into an all too familiar demon "That's probably the point where we get a climatic ending to this conflict. The final showdown and all that. Let me be straight with you kiddo, i don't think this fight is gonna be in your favor, you'll lose either that goon of yours or the city.". Ryleh smiled as he started writing on a piece of parchment with a feather black as night. "Or, you can take door three and let me handle everything. Think it's gonna cost you though.. How about....your Immortal soul ? It's not like you are doing any important stuff with it "
