Raven: .....wait...aminute.....{ he continues to dodge the attack from the club weilding shikigami} How is the club on fire?! {he gets wacked in the gut} AHHH!!! { he falls down} damn.....{ the shikigami beginning taunting him mockingly} ...THAT!...IT!!! {he kicks the club weilding shikigami as he jumps off his head} I GOT YA BIRDY!!!!! {he misses though only by a little} damn....I was so damn close....* he breathes softly* I'm gonna get it this time...I FIgured it out! { he readies himself}

Mary closed her eyes, knowing that summoning a third would be hard. Still, if she truly was going to test Raven, she would have to. She moved her dagger up again, forming a large earth creature to attack Raven. She had mastered forming and keeping elements away. If Raven could trick each of them out, it would be enough. She knew this would tire her out a lot, but training was necessary.

Ran and Chen turned to look at Ouroboros as it emerged from Zorlo to deliver Xander's message. "So that's the Nox... cool..." Chen said as she vanished and Ran smiled and sat back on the air.

"I see... I'll ask Yukari to bring it to him later, though he'll need to tell me what format he wants at some point." She crossed her legs as she glanced at the video feed. "That aside, You worry too much. I'm not worried, Yukari can take it. That's what she was built for, after all. And that Nox Nyctores is more powerful then you think. Give it time, I'll understand," she said to him as she looked over the Ouroboros curiously.

"I'm sure he is, but I'm not sure how to recover his power."

"It involves-"

"Can you hold on, Ouroboros, I'm busy talking to Ren. So, when i figure out how to recover his powers, I'll start work on it."

"I'm trying to tell you-

"Bah, Bah, Bah! I'm trying to talk to Ren here, so if you wouldn't mind keeping your mug shut for now. But yes, when we start to power up, I'm sure we'll be fine. Now then, what were you saying, OUroboros?"

The serpent sighed. "Nothing... just lamenting my crushed dreams.

"Oh, how does that taste?"

With an ear piercing shriek, Ouroboros dove back into Zorlo's spine, causing pain every link that entered. "Man, that guy's a douche."

Zellos shook his head not remembering much of what happened, he followed the canlals and now was surrounded by drunken versions of the monsters he had previosly encountered. He was in Vlad's wine cellar, most monsters were too drunk to notcie a human was in the cellar. "Strange, how do monsters get intoxicated? Interesting..." Zellos killed the monsters on his way through, eventually his path lead him to a doorway that was covered in wine barrels and debris, slight slurping sounds could be heard from the other side. "What the hell... doesnt matter, the path is closed i have to go give my report." Just as Zellos turned around a wine barrel went flying past him, he looked back, one of the barrels from the doorway was thrown at him, and behind the wall of debris, glowing eyes stared at him. "Looks like all that liquor is affecting your aim." The wall of debris exploded and behind it was a large monster covered in armor, long arms that were to big for it's body and a helmet covering the majority of it's face. "I was hoping to get out of here sooner, but this is part of my mission i guess." Zellos Readied himslef and another wine barrel came at him, he split it in half with a purifying sword and grinned.

Raven: { after being knocked down countless times he continues to get up Raven is battered and Tired} *breathing heavily*.....I've figured it out...I got it this time! { he runs as he taakes a powerful punch from the golem sending him back though Raven catches him self as he starts running} I'll get rid of you first! { both raven and the golems fist collide as cracks appear up the golems arm Raven takes the opportunity to spin around the golem as he heads towards the club weilding shikigami as he knocks the club out of it's hands as he slides through the shikigami's legs and Raven finally picks up speed} you may be able to fly... but! { he practically disappears as he leaps into the air as he appears to the bird} Got ya birdy! { he catches the bird as he crashes and he rolls across the groud} ow ow ow ow!.....{ he opens his hands to reveal the bird is unharmed} oh good you allright birdy? { he smiles playfully} ...hey guys look I caught it

That was enough, she figured. She allowed the water bird to dissolve and sat down. She opened her eyes and looked at Raven. "You are done for the day." She had a small smile on her face as she spoke.

Xander claps slowly, "You had to get lucky sooner or later. Good work." He scooted over to Donnely. "That looked exhausting. Are you alright?"

Kid Xander appeared next to Zorlo and Ouroboros's boss. "Found you. You'he vehy hawd to twack down. I'm Xandeh Wickel, his subconscious anyways. I'd like to know what you know about Yukahi, and/oh whehe I can find an upgwade foh heh. I'm not giving it to heh wight now, of couhse. She hasn't fully adapted to the last one afteh all." He crouched down as a luminous blue bunny and tophat formed in his hands and on his head, respectively. The rabbit hopped down to the floor and around the boss's feet.

Mary turned to look at Xander. "Summoning that many at once while keeping them under control is hard." She spoke, closing her eyes. "I'll be alright." She had to focus on regaining her energy to summon Shikigami now. If she didn't, she wouldn't be able to summon them without tiring her mind out completely.

"I might be able to help with that in the future. The controlling part I mean. But for now, I think I should like to get a tophat. And you could use a stetson. Maybe we should get a fezz for Ouroboros while we're at it. After that, I think we'll be done for the time being. Although, I should very much like to get a group photo." The camera zoomed in on Xander's face as he turned to look at it. "That goes for you lot as well. There's a map in Yukari's purse, meet us at the fountain in a bit, once she's active." ((I'm about to head out for the evening. Kai, Helba, you two have temporary control over Xander.))

Hats? She was a bit confused when she heard the names of them. It would be funny, yes, but why were they going to get hats? She figured that they might be doing more than that. It just made more sense to make one goal and see where things went from there. "Cake on sale at the bakery at two." She spoke, blushing a little at how she blurted it out without thinking about what Xander and Raven wanted.

"Really? I didn't know that. I'll take the rest of the day off so we can get some then. I know you don't have anything more pressing to do so you're in too, right?" He asked Revan while they made their way back up to ground level, the camera bobbing in the air behind them.

Raven: { he Scratches his head}..yeah okay why not...I have nothing else to do today...could be fun....just try not to bore me and....as long as I don't have to wear any sort of eccentric hat....I'll gladly go

Ran raised an eyebrow at Xander's order. "Well, I guess it's time then..." she said almost cryptically as the locks rather loudly disengaged and the top opened up. Yukari's hand hands raised to the sides as she pulled herself up into a sitting position. Her eyes opened and she blinked once before looked toward Ran. "Looks like it's time. Is everything settled, Yukari?"

"Yes. All programs and new functionalities are ready for full use. Systems are set and orders have been received and understood," she said back with her normal manners. Ran nodded and smiled as she waved to Zorlo and Ouroboros before vanishing. Yukari stood then as the bed closed again and vanished back into where ever it went to, taking the camera following Xander with it, before she looked at Zorlo. "We should be going. Xander is waiting for us at the fountain," she said and started walking before pausing. "Zorlo, you asked Ran a question. ...I do," she said before continuing on.

The boss turned to the Kid Xander. He could see that the Boss was female, a tall woman wearing a long, white lab coat with a white dress and black, knee-high, heeled boots. He still couldn't, however, see her face or tell her hair color. He also couldn't touch her mind either, as if it was always 'out of reach' whenever his powers focused toward her. "My... aren't you just the cutest little thing! But I'm sorry, little one. I can't tell you anything about her. Not yet, at least," she said gently as she lifted the rabbit in her arms to hug it. "She only got one left. The final one I'll deliver to her myself. When the time comes, we'll see about giving it to you to hand her, okay?"

Zorlo heard her response and blushed. He moved his hat down and chuckled. "I guess she does dream," he said as he lifted his hat up and smiled as he started to follow her. "Yes, you're quite right. We should be going," he said, smiling again. This adventure was getting more and more wild.

Kid Xander laughed, "Cwuel you ah. And a liah too. But you ah still mohe intehesting than most people like that. Last one means it doesn't matteh though. It was just something on my to do list." He looked over his shoulder, "I don't need me back yet though, so is thehe anything I can help you with? Oh would you like to play a boahdgame, Shogi maybe? I've been playing a game with Vlad for the past sevewal yeahs."

Xander made Raven wear a black bowler hat, he wanted everybody looking their best for the group photo after all. He got a green baseball cap with a snake on it for Zorlo. A red and gold fezz for Ouroboros. And a black witch hat with purple trim for Yukari. And in addition to his black top hat with a blue band he got for himself an indian headdress and a strawhat with a red band.

It was strange to be able to relax after a training exercise like that. Even more so to be reminded of how human Raven was for a vampire. Part of her wanted to warn him about what her brother had said, but she couldn't. She found herself picking up a set of cat ears and wondering why they were in a hat shop. Still, she didn't want to wear something that wasn't a hat and began searching again. Soon enough she found what looked to be Wizard's hat with black trim and a basic purple color. She wasn't sure that was the better choice.

The wizard's hat floated up to the ceiling and Xander put the cat ears on her. "You're overthinking things, Mary. Just go with what you want and don't worry about what others think. It takes quite a load off one's mind." He smiled and toyed with the cat ears.

Mary blushed a little at being reminded. She wondered why Xander would be toying with the ears. Still she hoped that her blush wasn't giving him the wrong message. It was the first time she had had this much time relaxing in awhile.

Xander let go of the cat ears and played a finger across each of Mary's actual ears. "Pick whatever you like best." He picked up an old police hat and tried it on in a mirror, followede by a samurai helm.
