As Joy, Aika, and now Yuyu advanced on the remaining goons, the three (technically two and a partial, one of them had his health bar in the red) that were left decided that perhaps their lives were not bargain-bin priceworthy, and so ran past them towards the open gate, through the doors to head back down the steps that Aika and Joy had come through.  "Dad!"  Yuyu shouted at the...pretty boy?<em>That</em>guy was her father?  "Get inside, start the Warding!"  He nodded and disappeared inside.  The Fire Ryuujin came towards them, her health bar still around half.  "Hey, Eichiro told me you guys were coming; good to see both of you.  Come on, we need to get to the gate and close the doors so Dad-"<br/><br/>Just then, both Aika and Joy would get in their field of vision a flashing message:<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">!!! ALERT!  ALERT!  Incoming Enemy! !!!</span></div><br/>Aika's head whipped around to look at the gate.  "Someone's coming."  Without a moment to lose, she headed towards the gate at full speed.<br/><br/>
