Watch," said Ryu as he pointed to the scene unfolding at the gate.  It appeared that the guards on duty had had enough of the robed figures and were now pointing their guns at them.<br/><br/>-------------------------------<br/>"What's the meaning of this? We've provided the proper documents, let us in!"<br/>A guard with a golden shoulder patch shook his head. "I don't care if you're the Pope, you and your weird hooded cronies aren't getting in. Not while you've got an unconscious young man and a young woman prisoner.  You can tell just by looking at that little girl that she's terrified. Now, hand them over before we open fire!"<br/>"Big words, coming from a lapdog like yourself.  Let me handle this guys. You go ahead and take the others inside."<br/>"Like hell you're get-"<br/>the rest of the guards sentence broke off into a blood curdling scream as he spontaneously combusted.  The robed figure responsible for the surprise attack snapped his fingers and his robe burned off, and was replaced by a new outfit.  Without the robe to hide his features, he was actually kinda handsome, though the wicked grin on his face would send chills down most anyone's back. Whoever he was, he was obviously a sadist who reveled in the pain he was causing.<br/>(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv280/Tsunkotsu/fire_elemental.jpg)<br/>The guards hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do in the face of such an unconventional attack, a moment that cost them dearly. With the swing of his staff, a wave of flames burst out of the ground and consumed the closest bunch of guards that had confronted the robed figures, clearing a path to the building itself. The group wasted no time in heading in that direction, and was greeted by a hail of bullets from some of the guards who were now taking strategic positions in order to fend off the intruders.  As the bullets rained down on the group, they were diverted by an invisible force that was apparently being created by one of the robed figures with their hands raised upward. In the center of the grounds stood the man in the red outfit, sending flaming attacks at any guard unwise enough to leave cover while laughing maniacally, "Is that all you've got?! Come on! Show me a challenge! I am FLAME of the council of 9. If you're going to die by my hand, at least put some effort into it!!! AhAHAHhahA!<br/>-------------------------------<br/>"Well, there goes that plan.  Either we could use this as a distraction to get in, or we help the guards.  Against a foe such as that, we may have to consider a retreat. Nows the deciding moment. What will you do," the client said as he observed the carnage.<em>this is their fight.  The events that take place here will affect everything they know and love.  This decision must be theirs and theirs alone, </em>he thought to himself, referring to all the residents of Eden.<br/>-------------------------<br/>Elsewhere, Jacob could feel the battle raging through his new senses. The earth itself seemed to be mourning the senseless violence in one particular spot that surrounded Flame. Meanwhile, the shard he'd picked up was resonating even moreso than when he'd first acquired it.<br/><br/>At the same time, Aria was following the lights to the Lexcorp building, and they'd be taking her right in front of the battle in about a minute.
