((Because that's how this bitch rolls)) On board her ship, Zaaria was tending to her cracked visor while her ghost, Serene, was performing a checkup on her. [i]That was a lot of darkness you were exposed to, you know. You should have gotten out of there sooner, far away from that monster. I'm not sure if this exposure will cause any permanent damage or not[/i] "I feel fine, Serene. At least now I do" [i]I know what you mean. Down there, you were borderline joking about with him and having a laugh. You never joke about, period...[/i] "I know, I know. I'm not sure what it was, but I just started to feel more loose with myself the moment he appeared, like I was almost loosing my mind around him and becoming more loopy..." [i]Well, I'm happy to say that you're back you your charmless cold and calculating self again![/i] "Good. Better that way... God I was almost taking like Jaden down there" [i]Oh shut up, he's not as bad as you think he is. I mean, he taught you that trick with the comm unit and the plume of dust after all...[/i] "True. Aries sure does love to run his mouth, so while I was obstructed from sight, I stuck the unit there on the ground and got outta there while he had his back turned, while showing off some thing he was clearly proud of. [i]what do you think it was? Real? A ploy, like he said[/i] "Could be either for all we know. Personally, it seems a bit too big to be a ploy. Anyway, we should get back to Mercury. Got some old friends to revisit" [i]already en route, Zaaria. And don't worry about that helmet, I'll fix it later for you[/i] "Thank you, Serene"

Aries chuckled. " Leaving already?" Zaaria's ship stopped in the air, just drifting. Aries appeared in the cockpit. " Pretty annoying trick of yours. Too bad though. I would kill you, but I have an idea that you could help me with. And you're not going to like it..."

"Uh, I'm too old for this shit. Just as I was feeling better" She stood up from the pilot seat and faced Aries, while Serene dematerialised. "So. What's this idea I won't like?"

" Well. I just got a new ally, and I want to see him in combat, so in order to do that, I'd need to start a fight. This is where you come in. I'm going to capture you, possibly torture, depending on my mood. That'll lure Switch and his friend. Once that happens, a fight'll break out."

"New ally huh? Well then, we are in agreement. I want to see him fight too"

" Ah good. It means I don't have to put in any effort setting this up."

"By all means go ahead. I want to see this backfire in your face"

" If anything, it might backfire in my ally's face, although I doubt that." (( New post for this? ))
