Description
Kiaran faces off with his brother for a moment, thinking. "What brings you to my humble abode, Trooper…" He asks, hatred dripping from his voice.

Aaron chuckles to himself as he walks over to the fridge. Opening it, he pulls out a bottle of water and drinks some. "Ahh… How refreshing!" He exclaims mockingly. "Surely you have more?"

Kiaran grits his teeth and helps Ran to her feet. The cat, still surprised by the sudden turn of events, hisses at her scaly lover. "Kiaran! What the hell is your brother doing in my apartment!?"

"Our… And I have not the slightest idea." Kiaran replies.

Aaron picks at the top of his bottle without looking at the pair. "If my presence is not desired, I will be more than happy to have Kiaran arrested for threatening a city official…"

Both Ran and Ki look up quickly. "No! No no! Not necessary!"

Aaron smirks and drinks the rest of his water. "Good! Now then…" He sits at the table and takes a data scroll from within his bag. "I'm here to deter my… Brother… From pursuing his upcoming job."

Kiaran slams his fist on the table and brings his face close to his brother's. "And… What? Is going to stop me?"

Aaron taps on his data scroll and puts it away quietly.

Our young dreamkeeper, provoked by the sudden reluctance to talk, grabs Aaron by the collar of his armor. "Aaron!"

Aaron calmly brushes a bit of dust off his shoulder and bares his teeth. "Me!"

In an instant, the Shock Trooper tosses a hard uppercut into Kiaran's jaw and sends his twin backwards into the living room. Ran quickly pulls two war fans from her chiten's belt and takes an offensive stance.

"You bastard!! You're gonna scratch the countertop!! I paid good money for that!!" She moves forward and attempts to slice at Aaron using her fan blades.

Aaron parries the attack using a blast shield that is attached to his right arm. "Haha! En guard, milady!" He dances backward as his halo glows. Suddenly, the light dims in the room as sunlight rushes to Aaron's outstretched hand. Within seconds, a fully formed golden scimitar lies in his hand. "Let's dance, madam!" He shouts as he rushes the cat.

Ran turns her body to the right and glances the blow off of the edge of her folded fan. The momentum carries Aaron's sword straight into the refrigerator as if it were a piece of paper. "You… You fuckin' stabbed my fridge!!"

"Hehehe—OOF!" Aaron suddenly flies sideways as Ran angrily curb stomps him into the cupboards nearby.

Kiaran rushes in and draws his pistol. "Freeze!!"

Aaron looks at him and grins. "Gladly!" He holds up his sword and in a fraction of a second, Ki and Ran are blinded as the Trooper allows his weapon to dissipate into pure light.

"Agh!!" Ki shields his eyes as Ran covers hers with her fans.

Seconds later, Ran drops and sheathes her fans and looks around quickly. "Damn!! He's gone…"

"Agh!!! I CAN'T FUCKIN' SEE!!!" Kiaran walks around blindly and trips over a chair, falling to the floor in a heap. "Oww… Pain…"

Ran shakes her head and examines where Aaron was just moments before. In his place sat a note. "Hmm?" Picking it up, she skims through it quickly and takes a short inhale.

Ki, picking himself up and rubbing his eyes, looks around. "What'd I miss?"

Ran, with nowhere else to store the note, quickly stuffs it in her bra and turns. "Nothing!! Err… Nothing…"

Ki studies her and narrows his eyes. "Did your boobs get bigger?"

The cat blushes a bright red and instinctively kicks Kiaran in the crotch. "KIARAN!!!"

The dragon falls to his knees, cross eyed and squeaking. "Why…? Why Serapis why…?" He falls to the ground clutching his pants as Ran turns her nose up and walks into the living room.

"Pervert…" She closes her eyes and disappears.

Isura slowly stalks through Theophanies. "One-Hundred Thousand… One-Hundred Thousand Lucre just to find my ex girlfriend…" He walks towards a watercar stop and looks for the boat. "Hmm… Not here…"

He sits down on a nearby bench and waits. Suddenly, a ragged old dreamkeeper walks over and sits down on the opposite end of the bench. "Ya'll look like ya' got somethin' gigantic on your mind, kiddo…" He chuckles.

Isura glares at the man but the stranger is unwavering.

"Ya'know, it ain't healthy for a young'un like ya' ter be thinkin' too much. Gets the ol' thinkin' machine fried like a beached bander on a hot summer day." The old man smiles gently.

"What do you want, old man…" Isura says as he clenches his fist. "I have no reason to talk to you."

The old man chuckles again and pats Isura on the back. "Jus' some advice from one DreamKeeper to anotha': Don' try 'n wrap yer head aroun' what's too big fer it." The old man hands Isura a small datapad before walking away whistling.

Isura looks at the small device and flips through the pages. But the only details the device has are on a dreamkeeper residing in the Sabbaton Towers. "Hmm… Councilman Donpar's fiancé?"

The assassin stands and walks slowly onto the watercar that happened to pull into the stop just a few seconds ago. "Why would I have to see Marzena Caramia?"

The driver looks back at Isura and frowns. "Hey! I need payment or you don't go anywhere."

Isura glances at the driver and flashes a pistol. "Just get me there and I will pay you."

The driver hastily faces front and tries to go for his data scroll to report the assassin, but Isura is quickly behind him with the gun to his back. "Call the cops… And you will die. Now just drive, and you will get your money."

"O-Okay…" The driver shakily starts the watercar and the boat starts to sail off down the canal.

"That's better…" Isura grimaces and sits down. "I'll be sure to tip well…"
