Description
Ran's fur stands on end as Ki explains the purpose of Outpost 2794. "You… You stayed there…?"

Ki doesn't answer as he drops through the condensing fog that constantly surrounds the Berg.

The cat shakes Ki's shoulder. "Kiaran!"

"Shh!" Ki lands quickly behind an outcrop just outside the Sky Road. "You'll blow our damn cover!" he hissed.

Ran droops her tail. "Sorry…"

"Get down." Ki peeks over the rock and ducks back as a spotlight drifts over the pair. "We have to get to the wall. If we can get there, I can phase us in. But I can only phase you. I'll have to find a different way." He looks back over the rock. "Understood?"

Ran nods quickly. "Yeah."

Ki bites his lip. "You better not die… Go!"

Ki and Ran quickly dash towards the wall, as usual, Ran pulls ahead slightly after a short distance. "We're almost there."

Ran hits the wall and backs into it as Kiaran lopes his way around a few spotlights. "Hurmm… Surgery never did make me feel any better…" He says as he stretches his back.

Ran puffs a strand of hair out of her face. "Just phase me in already!"

Kiaran shakes his head and places both his hands on the wall. As he does, his halo lights up. "Hurgh…" Ki slowly pulls the shadow apart as if it were a wall of gel. Slowly, the hole gets wider. "Ergh… Ran… Go!" He hisses as his nose starts to trickle blood.

Ran quickly slides inside and lightly touches the dragon's chest before his lets the portal fade.

Kiaran backs up a bit, then dives toward the wall as a spotlight drifts past. "Whoa… Gotta be a tad more careful..." He wipes his nose and grimaces at the sight of his own blood. "Stupid shadowkinesis…" He shakes his head and dashes off along the wall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ran turns after the portal closes and finds herself face to face with a white bear with a fire-like fur pattern. "Holy!"

The bear quickly covers her mouth with a large paw and backs into a corner. "Hold eet." The bear looks back and inspects the hallway before turning back to the cat. "Dat vas shadowkinesis… Only von dreamkeeper I know has dat accursed power…"

Ran pulls her head away and reaches for her sword quickly. "Leave me alone!" She growls.

The bear chuckles, amused by her threat. "Hehehe… Child do not be trying to draw dat sword on me… You vill regret eet…"

Ran ignores him and tries to swing the blade at him. In a split second, she's covered in a red-orange glow as the bear's halo emanates over his head. She looks up and sees that he caught the sword in his hand, the blade starting to glow red. "Mew!?"

The bear laughs. "Ah ha ha! Comrade Kiaran picked feisty villed partner!" He pulls the sword out of Ran's hands and lets his halo fade. As a result, the blade cools back down. "Hmm? Eet seems dat your partner has planned our leetle meeting…"

"What do you mean?" Ran asks, regaining her composure, shivering slightly after realizing how frigid it is.

"Take a peek, child." He shows her the sword. On the blade, a little carving of a "J" in a flame shimmers in the dim lit cell.

At that moment, Ran stomps her foot and angrily kicks the wall, a crack spidering up the bricks. "OOooh! That scaly, lowlife scoundrel!!"

The inmate chuckles as his halo glows. He starts to mold the sword in his hands as Ran takes out her frustration on the wall. "My name ees Jacov. You are…?"

"Ran… Ran Vorey…" She pulls out a fan and starts pick-axing the wall. "Now then, can I leave so I can help Kiaran?"

Jacov hefts a warhammer. "Ja, sure."

Ran looks at the hammer, then around for the sword, then at Jacov. "Where!? What!? Huh!?"

Jacov smiles. "You obviously are needing to learn power, girly." He swings the hammer hard and the carbonide bars holding them in shatter to pieces. Immediately, sirens blare as Jacov walks into the corridor, smirking. "Stupid troopers… Thinking that carbonide can hold Jacov!!" He walks down the hall swinging the hammer happily, opening the bars of other inmates.

Ran quickly runs after him through the crowd of freed bandits. "Get back here you big oaf!!"
