" The sword is being searched for by the girl. Find out why she wants it."
Growling, Vince faced his back to Alex and darted his eyes back and forth.
" Sir with all due respect, right now, I'm doing what you want me to, so-"
" Irrelevant. There are new orders. If there is a threat, it must be eliminated."
" Nocchi, reason this guy into his sanity. We're helping him and all of that. I need to find that damned girl..."
Shrugging his shoulders, Nocchi replied with a lax, " Don't mind if I do..." And walked a step closer to Alex. Portalling away, Vince concentrated and chose a mountainous area with a small village merchant village resting in the center.
Making his footsteps as light as he could, Vince waved some darkness in front of him. Only a select group of people could see him. One of them, being the girl. Easing himself over the corner of a brick building, Vince sighed in dismay as he saw a large group of merchants making exaggerated hand motions on prices and trying to make a deal. This was going to take a while.

Makenna sat, slicing her apple into little pieces with her knife. Over the last few days, she had mannaged to get a few jobs, and had gotten a considerably large amount of rest, as well.
When she finished the apple, she got up and walked down the main street, towards a large and loud crowd. They were all yelling, urging anyone and everyone to buy their product, but she ignored them all the same. All the noises were confusing, and she usually avoided this street because of that, but this town, like the last, was small. Some streets were just un avoidable.
"Excuse me."

erm. fail.

I'll take that cue as me.
----------------
" Makenna, correct?"
Before Makenna could speak, Vince continued and ushered her towards a quieter area in the town.
" I have a few questions for you, but I would appreciate it if we could speak in a more... quiet area, if you will..."

Alex slowly opened his eyes. "Where the hell am I?" he questioned to no one. The last thing he could remember was finding this big beast thing and getting his ass kicked by it. He sighed and slowly turned over to get a grip of his surroundings. He nearly screamed and jumped up. There was a dead guy lying next to him. Or at least, he looked dead. Alex took his head and felt the man's pulse. He was alive.
"That's good," Alex said to himself. "Now just where the heck am I? And who the hell is this man?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rebecca had finally found him. Peter's brother! She ran over to him and grabbed his arm. He turned around and noticed that it was just Rebecca.
"We need your help,"Rebecca stated.
"I"m not helping you. I've already done all I can. Go leave me alone." He snatched his arm back and began to walk off.
Rebecca started to head for Stephanie and said, "I guess he won't help us find Peter. What a cruel older brother."
Peter's brother stopped. "What happened to him?"
"He's been kidnapped." Stephanie answered for her step-mom. "With that tracker thingy on your arm you could help us find him."
Peter's brother (now named Ben) turned around and asked, "Where did you see him last?"

"Makenna, correct? I have a few questions for you, but I would appreciate it if we could speak in a more... quiet area, if you will..." Suspicious, Makenna followed his footsteps until the sounds of merchants screaming were only background noise. The shapeshifter was quiet for a while, seeming to wait for something.
"How do you know my name?" Makenna asked him accusingly. "I don't even tell employers my name."

i know, right?
-----
Vince sighed in unease and frowned.
" My master has informed me of only your name, and not why you're searching for the sword."
Shifting his gaze back to Makenna, Vince warily eyed her hands and added, " If you are a threat, my master wishes for you to be eliminated, but if there is another reason.... then we will do you no harm. As long as he gets the sword, nothing will happen"
Vince inwardly killed himself. He hated talking to people.

Makenna crossed her arms. "That sword is nearly un-tracable. It'd be easier for you to find it than me." <What are you thinking, idiot?> she said to herself. <They obviously know what they're doing>

Sighing, Vince pulled out a small sheet of paper from his pocket and unfolded it.
" The last siting of the sword was in...."
Glancing up from the sheet to Makenna, Vince's face was emotionless as he slowly said, " this town."
" So either you knew that, or it's one of the most impossible coincidences in this world."
Slipping the sheet of paper back into his pocket, he quirked his eyebrows at Makenna.
" However, My master has been watching you since you left our sites. He beleives you have great skill."
Eyes wide with shock, Vince quickly grabbed Makenna and teleported into the nearby forests. Glancing around, he cursed under his breathe and unsheathed two curved daggers from his coat.
Setting himself into a battle stance, Vince swirved towards Makenna and roughly whispered, " Arm yourself."
Looking away from her, Vince's eyes hardened to stone as a large group of light followers surrounded them.

"You retard," Makenna muttered, grabbing a few knives from her bag. "The town was safer, they don't to scare the citizens." She listened carefully for a second, then launched herself at the nearest attacker.

What the girl didn't understand was that the town was the attackers. If Vince had had more time to study, he would've realized that the entire town was a little less than a week old. The entire thing, the set-up, the location, even the claim for the sword's location, all of it was a trap. But he wasn't going to tell the girl that just yet. Gripping his blades, Vince calmly sprinted and sliced through two of the attackers.
With force, he called upon the shadows and watched as five of the attackers were engulfed and disappeared into darkness. As the attackers began to use their light abilities, Vince noted that they were weaker than the ones he had sensed in the town. Twirling his blades, Vince deftly dodged and stabbed one of the attackers in the stomach.
While chucking his blades like a boomerang into the direction of two attackers, Vince pulled out a small silver whistle and blew into it as hard as he could. As he caught his two glistening red blades back into his hands, several shadow creatures ran out of the shadows and began to fight.
We might actually be able to win this fight.

Makenna moved quickly, attacking one person after another. She could hear the shapeshifter battling some others to her left, then blow a whistle. Creatures came out of the forest and began helping them. <Oh, goody, he has friends> she thought sarcastically as she sliced the throat of one person. <Just great> For a while it seemed like they may win, but just as the numbers of their attackers were almost none, more and more showed up.
----------------------------
yeah, I don't know what to add...

As more opponents came, Vince found himself overwhelmed. His shadow creatures were doing their best but.... These opponents were stronger than the original ones. Quickly, Vince threw his blades again and blew the whistle one last time. As the monsters began to morph together, Vince caught his blades in midair and ran for Makenna. As an opponent's Blade caught his back, he quickly grabbed Makenna and teleported as quickly as he could before the shadow creatures finished assembling and incinerated everything around them.
Panting, Vince leaned heavily on the cave wall and scanned the area. Other than the copious amounts of blood covering both of them, they were both alright.
" Our conversation will have to wait for later. For now, I need to return to my master."

"Shit," Makenna whispered as soon as he left. "That freaking idiot got blood all over me."

Gathering his bearings, Vince decided that he should look before he leaped. Slowly moving his head back towards the innermost parts of the cave, he quickly shouted out, " Get over here, Makenna..."
Grunting to himself, Vince walked down the rocky edge and grunted as he jumped from one ledge to an old, beaten dirt path. As glanced around, he noted that there weren't as many people as there were before. Glancing at Makenna, he pressed his finger to his lip and beckoned for her to come down. As she slowly decended, He quietly whispered, " You're in a bad situation right now, so stay quiet and follow me."
Without waitting for a reply, Vince briskly limped fowards and into the crowd of people. All talking and moving stopped as everyone stared at him and his guest.
" Well well well.. Master's pet..."
" What you think he do?"
" Cause trouble? who knows.."
"Woah, check out the girl"
"Heh, he's gonna get in trouble~"
Ignoring the comments, Vince continued to limp down the parted path of people. He had warped them into the heart of his Master's HQ. Just his luck.
