SANO: "Well, you guys ready?"
Without waiting for a response, Sano grabs Ryuusei and Kenshin by the shirt collars, and uses his Skunkan Idou to go to where Tempest is.
Upon appearing, he releases Ryuusei and Kenshin... and they begin falling.
SANO: "AGH! SORRY GUYS!"
Sano's Bukujutsu allows him to remain airborne, but unfortunatley that is a skill not possessed by the other two. They land with a thud.
SANO: "Hey! Tempest!"
Sano flies over to Tempest.
SANO: "Yo. I wanna break that orb open to see what's in it. So c'mon, let's go..."
Ryuusei rubs the pain out of his back and head.
RYUUSEI: "Damn that Sano!"

Tempest back wings when Sano appears, literaly, in his flight path. With a bit of lighting, he hovers.
Tempest: "You are not breaking it open!"
Tempest looked down to Ryuusei and Kenshin, and frowned. He droped the hover and spiraled sharply down wards, dropping to a landing and folding his wings back.
Tempest: "If you guys even dare mess with something you know nothing about by BREAKING IT OPEN-you know what? I have a new name for stupid: Sano. This is the Sano-est thing I've ever heard!"
Tempest glared at them, crossing his arms in a defensive manner. <' God, couldn't a guy take a break from working for 2 days stright? I leave for not even 10 minutes, and already morons are popping up all over the place.'>

Faero is left sitting on the hill, pondering. <Wings...that means I should be able to fly, right? I mean, come on, that's what wings are for. What's the harm in trying....?> With a shrug, Faero looks at her wings. <OK, I'm not quite sure how this is going to work......flap, or something. Come on!>
Her angelic wings spread out to their full span and gracefully lift her off the ground...about 2 feet. Using her mind, she attempts to figure out how to control the limbs she can barely recognize as being attached to her. After about a minute or so of somewhat succesfull semi-floating, she loses control and begins to do some awkward mid-air stumbling.
Then her stubborn wings simply fold up again and she falls over the edge of the steep side of Half-Hill. She manages to catch herself with one hand and pull herself back up, where she lies on the ground, panting. "Woah..."

Ryuusei responds by hollering at Tempest.
RYUUSEI: "IT WASN'T MY FOOLISH IDEA! SO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!"
Sano lands near Tempest and Ryuusei.
SANO: "I don't see the harm in breaking it open. I mean, if something abnormal does arise from it, we can do what we usually do, and just kill it...."
RYUUSEI: "That's absurd! I won't have any part of it!"
SANO: "Why not? We might need your help in killin' whatever comes out of it. Or we might need you to help us break it open."
RYUUSEI: "NO!"
SANO: "Fine, fine.... Well, what are you gonna do with it then?"
Ryuusei stands to his feet, brushing the dust from his clothes.
RYUUSEI: "Isolate it until we're able to gather some sort of information on it."
SANO: "Eh... that sounds boring...and it sounds like something that may take awhile."
RYUUSEI: "Yes, we may have to wait for it, but it's not wise to just 'break it open'...."
SANO: "Well, whatever."

Tempest listens to them bicker for a bit, finaly having enough.
Tempest: "One, We are NOT breaking it open, or cracking it, or shattering it into a billion pieces, or releasing whatever the heck might be in it. Two, It is in safe keeping, and will remain until I can make heads or tails of whatever the hell it is. Three, Stop by Half-Hill tomorrow, and I could probably give you some more information. Right now, I do not need to deal with moronic ideas of breaking things. Nothing personal Ryuusei... I can see you are caught up in the stupidity like the rest of us."

Faero's breathing slows to normal and she pushes herself to her feet. "That's one I won't be trying again-at least not for a little while, anyways." She bites her lower lip lightly and glances back at her wings distractedly. They've changed color, from an angelic white to a demonic black. Once again, she began to wonder at her own identity, a past she had no hope of remembering unless she found more of her scattered memory orbs.
Recognizing an uncomfortable tension in her newly discovered muscles, she stretched her wings. <I wish I could just hide these things away where no one could see them and no one would ask questions.> Reaching back to lightly rub the last remaining soreness in her back where her wings were attached, her hand slipped into a cleverly concealed pouch on the back of her top. Realization dawning, she concentrated what little control she had so far into getting her wings to fold into that hidden pouch, where they would remain unseen.

Kenshin landed with a quiet yelp, rubbing his head and back. With a grunt, he pulled himself to his feet. He just glanced over at Tempest with an annoyed look.
Sasuke teleported in after, the card Sano have given him previously had allowed him to float next to him, just in time to see Kenshin and Ryuusei hit the ground. He stared, and glanced over at Sano.
Sasuke: "What happened here?"
He then glanced over at Tempest, watching him snap at Sano.
Sasuke: "..... I've pulled plenty off plenty of 'Sano's in my day."
He muttered to himself. He didn't approve of Tempest's attitude, but didn't do nor say anything about it. Kenshin didn't seem to be so fond of it either, but like Sasuke, he didn't voice his opinion.

Confident that her newfound limbs were out-of-sight, Faero walked back down the winding path that had lead her to the top of half-hill and kept walking long after she reached flat ground again. She sought out the woods. It was almost as if they were calling to her, beckoning her with the comfort of their shadows.
I've done you a favor, taking your memories from you...some things you're just better off not knowing. Those written words echoed through her mind once more as she sauntered off. <I'll figure this out, somehow. I'll find those stupid orbs, AND I'll find the scumbag who did this.>
In the distance, growing steadily louder as she unknowingly walked towards it, was a barely perceptable humming.

Ryuusei stands to his feets, and Sano hovers in the air same as before.
SANO: "Well, if nothing else I'd like to examine the orb myself. Me and Ryuusei have seen alot of weird things when we were in the Army, so maybe since he couldn't identify it, I can."
RYUUSEI: "....well, we can try I suppose, but I doubt you'll have much of an opinion on it either. It's just that odd."
SANO: "Well, let's head to Tempest's house then."

Tempest shook his head, and without a word to the now small group behind him, headed back in the diretion of Half-Hill. It would be quick, and with no destruction, and then he would get some sleep. He hated the hours he had to keep with this damned form. right about then he wuld give anything to give up being half-dragon and just be full human, as he was for most of his life, and sleep for a whole week-- no, a month. Eat normal food, not have to go hunting. God, there were things he even tried to deny that he needed.
He folded his wings back, locking the thumbs together over his chest. Not to mention his back hurt since he didn't get to trech it like he wanted too. <'You are being a complainer, but at least you aren't saying anythign aloud.'> A voice chidded, which he ignored. When could he go back to the days when it was just him?

Sano teleported in behind Tempest with the others.
SANO: "Alright, show me the orb. I wanna take a look at it."
RYUUSEI: "...Don't break it."
SANO: "Yeh yeh...."

Tempest glared back at Sano as they came up to Half-Hill, his eye brows narrowing together to give the impression of his mood. With the huge granite doors open all the way, he led them up the long way to his work room.
Going to the safe, he sent a bolt of lightning at it, and the stone shifted, revealing the door. Kneeling down, he pulled out the orb, setting it on the table.
Tempest: "This is it. Nothing special or fancy."
His voice was sharp, giving rise to his current annoyance at having to many people around.

Sano examines the orb carefully.
SANO: "....hm... Yeh, I've seen these before. They were once used by a group of sorcerors called 'Mind Takers'. But they were wiped out maybe 10 years ago. Very interesting. Someone must be trying to ressurect the methods used by the Mind Takers... But I wonder WHY...."
RYUUSEI: "Mind Takers? Yes, come to think of it I do remember hearing about them..."
SANO: "I actually came across some about 13 years ago... they were an odd bunch. That's the only reason I recognize the orb for what it is. Hm... I wonder if it still functions.."
RYUUSEI: "How do we find out?"
SANO: "Well, the Mind Taker's orbs only exist if they have taken something. So, all we have to do is find out who the target of this orb is, and give it to them. The results of that will unseal the orb automatically."
RYUUSEI: "So basically we're looking for a needle in a haystack."
SANO: "...basically."

Tempest shook his head. Mind Takers? Sounded like something he would have to inquire about.
Tempest: "Anyway. If this was formed by a 'Mind Taker', Then I'm just going to seal it back in the safe until we have a suspect."
