Docking Grounds

Zian moved his eyes as someone bumped into his brother which resulted in him running into Zian. Zian frowned and pushed his brother from off him. "Duelists grab her!" Zian said as they nodded and chased after her grabbing her arms and dragging her violently back to the twin brothers one quite pissed while the other quite bored.

"Oops...they grabbed the wrong person..."
Sai was a few feet off. "Hm..."
Seeing a kid runnig her way, she stopped the boy, "Hey do you want to earn some money?"
The boy nodded. Sai gave him and end of rope that was at her side. "Take this, and hold it really tight. When you feel something hit it, run like H***."
When he did as he asked, Sai pulled the other, and held it near the guards. When they walked next to the rope, Sai tugged on it causing the others holding the innocent bystander to let go and fall.
Sai laughed, then started to run. Too funny. She could hear swears from the solders.
LOL.

Zian frowned as he saw his duelists on the ground at his feet, "You discrace me, along with all of the Victorian Kingdom..." Zian said coldly as he stared down at his men. "BE GONE!" He yelled as his rose opened up and started glowing a crimson red as the duelists suddenly exploded into dark red particles as they blew away with the wind. "A waste of roses..." Zian muttered as he rose closed back up as he resumed walking with the remaining members of his guard and his brother.

Sai felt proud of herself, but it wasn't enough. That man...would suffer. Looking at shadows on the ground, she started to hurry back to where her ship was. Hopefully, she would be able to see the wraith before he left. If not, she hoped she could talk to her friend. Alix seemed she could help.

Zian looked back at a fleeing figure. He frowned and pointed the duelists at her. "Bring me that woman, don’t fail or you will face the same fate as your...fellow duelists..." The duelists gulped and hurried after her sprinting. Vayne watched and chuckled. “My, my brother if this keeps up we wont have any members of Unit 26 left.”

The world seemed to be singing to Sai. The birds were in the air, the sun was shining...
"Whoa!" Something grabbed her arm, and she was looking into one of the guard's eyes. "Hey!"
"You're presence is required-"
Sai had shut the man up by hitting him with her palm.
"I think his nose is-" She ducked when a fist came flying her way. Headbutting the other, Sai started to skip as she left the others on the ground clutching theirs stomachs.

Zian's anger was quite visible as he walked up to the men grabbing them by their throats. “You fool’s! How can a mere woman defeat you!?” He asked as Zane’s voice echoed throughout the docks. “You….your majesty..” One tried to say and was met with a snapped neck. “Do you know why you failed!?” The man stared at the lifeless body handing next to him. “She…she was tried sir, I think she was a rebel..” He tried as he was dropped and fell into the floor with a thump. “Interesting, very good.” Zian said as he grabbed hold of his sword. “Sir?” The man asked confused until his head was cleanly sliced off rolling down the docks. “Dispose of the bodies…” Zian said whipping his sword off on the decapitated man’s suit and shelved his weapon. The small number of remaining members grabbed the bodies and dumped them into the once crystal clear sea staining it blood red. Zian looked down ad the head and kicked it at an airship bouncing off it and into the sea with a plopping sound. “Humph.”

When Sai looked back her eyes widened. "What..."
There was blood all over and people were looking at the scene. The only one alive with the soldiers was the man Sai had heard earlier. She was disgusted. How could anyone...She saw his eyes. He didn't even...flinch when he killed them!
Sai hid behind a corner and observed what was going on. What...just..."They didn't do anything wrong!" She said angrily to herself.

Zian looked down at the floating bodies. "Trash..." He muttered rolling his eyes as he turned around on his heels and walking back to his party. "Let’s hurry up and meet with The Marquis." He said as they nodded and resumed walking without another thought about the lost men that had died in those several minutes.

Such...disregard for his men...Sai couldn't stand it! Picking up her pistol, she aimed for the man's heart.
This couldn't be forgiven! She started to pull the trigger.

Biting her lip, Sai used all her will power to put the gun down. "How could he just..."
Making a fist, she hit the wall causing a dent in it. "he just...gaaah!"
Throwing her gun down, Sai ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.

"Wait," Vayne said as the party stopped and looked at him. "Didn’t that one duelist, before brother here killed him?" He said looked at Zian who shrugged. "Say that, that girl might have been a rebel?" Zian snorted. "Does it make much of a difference?" He asked. "They are crushed, we won the war I care not of their petty hard feelings they lost and need to get over it. Or they will meet the same fate as their brethren." Zian said as his crimson rose darkened slightly.

Taking up her weapon once more she glanced to Numai, "That man has no value of life. I pity him." Giving the enemy another glance, she scowled and watched him walk the other way.

After a while, Sai looked to Numai. "One of the wraiths are here. We should go find him...But first, let's go to High town..."

"Lets go." Zian said walking way with his now small party.

Alix ran off to the upscale part of town. Locating the most expensive boutique she went inside and demanded a red dress. "I'm sorry miss but you are obviously in the wrong part of town." The saleswoman said as she looked at her co workers and laughed. Alix didn't have anytime to waste so she went up to the counter, slammed her hand down and said, "Look missy, I am Alexandria Victoria Feodorvna. My family is one of the most prestigious families in all of Victoria and unless you and your friends here want to keep our jobs I suggest you get moving...NOW!!"

This seemed to get their attention and all of them scrambling to get any and all the red dresses. Alix didn't have time to be picky so she grabbed one she liked and changed into it. Since she fell into the dock and got wet, her hair started to become wavy. Pinning it back she paid for dress and matching shoes. As soon as Alix stepped out the shop she stopped because coming down the street was Zian. "What did I do to deserve this?" she thought to herself.

Zian along with his party stopped in front of her chucking softly at her quick attire change. "My lady.” He bowed slightly then continued. “What brings you to Colombia?" He asked at her raising an eyebrow smirking.

Alix faked a smile and said, "Lord Zian, I didn't expect to see you here. I was just doing a little history lesson with my tutor, whom I seem to have lost in the hordes of people heading towards the dock," to emphasis her fabricated story, she looked around for the invisible teacher. Looking backing him she continued, "And you must be here on official business I presume."

Zian stared at her and offered a hand. “Well then My lady, I shall be your escort till you find your ‘teacher’ again unless you where lying?” Zian asked as he held out his hand for her to take.

Alix started to panic in her mind but her composure on the outside never faltered. Still smiling, "I have to admit, I am not in with a tutor but of my own accord. So needing help in finding my made up tutor will not be required. But I thank you for our offered assistance My Lord."

Zian withdrew his hand, "Your father won’t be pleased to know this. But I suppose you being away from Victoria for so long you don’t know of his 'condition...”

Alix looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean of his condition? When I saw him last morning, he seemed perfectly fine. Is there something wrong with him?" Her looked now turned into a worried one. Many situations were going through the young adult's mind. " I pray that nothing is terribly wrong.."
