Misty heard a loud plethora of honking coming from upstairs and looked out the window. "Looks like we're scaring em off. Willing to guess Red got to em. She always was violent by nature..." She shrugged. "I guess you can say you're not going to be getting all of those Swans back in one piece."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Upon seeing Red go down himself, Gantz quickly batted Swans away with Soul Calibur (Soul: This is SOOO demeaning...) and checking up on her. "Red, you okay?"
Red winced but nodded, smiling to both Gantz and Yana. As if her attention was shifted, she looked to Rosaline, as did Gantz. "Oh! Rose!!" The two of them ran over to her. "Are you okay, dear? You're not hurt are you?"
Taking a second to catch her breath, she looked up to her friends and smiled. "Yes... I am okay. But what about you Gantz? You have the feel of healing magic about you. Did you get scratched up by those things?"
"A little, yeah." He finds a pair of sunglasses laying on the floor, likely dropped by the Swan that had stolen it from him. Grinning he picks it up, and dusts it off on his shirt. "But I'll be fine." He said as he put them back on.

"Hmm, pity. You may need help in removing them, however. I suggest you cover your ears." Before Misty could ask what 'she' meant, a loud, obnoxious, HORRIBLE sound emitted from the phone, loud enough to fill the whole building with noise. What was this sound, you may ask? Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."
Yana covered his ears in pain and shock, his forehead still bleeding. "AAGH!! What IS that?!" The noise caused the swans to go into a panic, squawking and honking as they clambered out the window in a rush to escape. Within moments, all the birds had gone, leaving a mess of feathers everywhere. As quickly as it had come, the noise stopped. Yana uncovered his ears. "Wow. Um...okay, that--ow!" He grabbed his head. When he pulled it away, his hand had blood on it. "Ah, crud." He turned to the others. "Does anyone have a bandage or--" He quickly noticed that they were all staring at him. "What?" What Yana didn't notice was the fact that the cut was rapidly closing up. Or that his hands where glowing green.
"There we go. I assume that the birds are now gone?"

[Focusing on Misty primarily, just to get this out of the way.]
...........................
Misty stood there, rubbing the inside of her ears... To be honest, she looked COMPLETELY befuddled. A second later she dared to put the phone back to her ear. "How-... How did you-? How did you do that?!?"

The voice that replied changed again. And this time it was someone Misty knew all too well. "Why, my dear, I am the master of the strange and unusual, didn't you know? Now, I'd like you to relay a message--Yana must be reminded that he must come to the DBTS either today or tomorrow. No rush. I'll see you all then. Now, before I hang up, I have a request to make of you." The voice took on a malicous tone. "Scream." Click!
Yana was getting uncomfortable with the staring. "What?! Why're you--" He glanced at his hands and stopped. Yeah, NOW he notices. "GAH!!!!" He shook his hands repeatedly, as if they were covered in ants.

Quickly deciding to approach before Yana put a hole in the wall, Gantz quickly calmed him down. "Whoa whoa dude calm down." He examined the green glowing. "Apparently you know healing magic... Surprising, but not too much. You don't exactly have natural stre-"
CRAAASH!!!!!
Rosaline jumped. "Wh-what the?"
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH- SONNOVA @#$@#% @#$@#$%@# THAT LITTLE !@#@%#@^$@ #$%@!#$% @#$@#$% @#$@#%% @#$%^$%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" CRAAAASH!!!!!!
......... What the hell-?
---------------------------------------------------------
When the group rushed downstairs, they found Misty FURIOUSLY ripping apart anything that dared get in her way. "THE FLIPPIN @#$@%@# @#%#@$^ %^$%^*&!!!!!!!"
....................... Red looked to Misty a moment before looking to Gantz curiously.
"No Red, you can't use any of the words Misty is using right now." Red nodded at the young man's words.

"Well, she seemed to take it well." "She still needs to get laid..." "Who said that?!"
Yana had never heard so much swearing. Okay, earlier, Rose had managed to scare Yana pretty well. Misty, on the other hand, is probably going to give him nightmares as she tore the room apart (and it was ALREADY damaged...) "G-good grief..." He sweatdropped. "H-hey, Misty, calm do--" His voice trailed off as Misty rounded on him with fiery murder in her eyes. "Aw, crud, I'm in trouble, aren't I?

He was just as afraid as Yana was really, but Gantz quickly approached Misty before she could punch yet ANOTHER huge hole into the wall. "Misty!!! For god's sake what's wrong with you?!?!?!?"
Misty continued yelling explicitives in response. Around that moment, Metal took notice of the destroyed phone. "Misty... who was that on the phone?"
Misty growled, sounding almost like a psychotic demon animal. "TAKE... A F@CKING... WILD GUESS..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later; a phone call by Tarosuke called up a group of demon construction workers to fix up the house. Sitting in the dining room, the group listened to Misty as she, snarling all the while, told them exactly what had happened.
"Rayleigh? He did this?" Gantz looked quite ticked himself. "Okay, I'm sorry Misty. Now I understand. I'm pretty pissed too honestly."
A growl followed, this one not from Misty. "Uh, hello? Completely left in the dark here?" Tarosuke groaned as he waved a hand. "We have NO FREAKING CLUE who-" A construction demon tried to get his attention holding up what looked like wood and magical wood. "Eh, go with the magical stuff, can hold up better against hits." The demon nodded before walking off. "Now where was I? Oh yeah... WHO THE HELL IS THIS RAYLEIGH CREEP ANYWAYS?!?!?!?"
Looking briefly to Yana, Gantz sighed. "He was the reason my home of Toon Town was usually in trouble. To be frank, he caused a lot of trouble. My bad luck started with him, he warped Misty's mind so she would go insane, and is somewhat responsible for the Sub-space incident back in the World of Trophies."

Toon Town? Subpace? World of Trophies? A lot of what Gantz was saying sounded like pure nonsense to Yana. "Okay..." He looked at Tarosuke. "Also, I think he's the reason I can't remember anything. I mean, I woke up in this church this morning and he called us there...something about a game, I think? He also said he stole something from me, but I don't know what it is..." A thought struck him. "Hey, I have a question--is Raleigh his first or last name? I just wondered..."
"Wilhelm, are the charges set around the station?" "Yep. Fully primed." "Excellent. What's your status?" "Bored." "I'm still deducting your pay." "DAMMIT!"

The group looked to him with curiosity... All except for Climber, who looked equally curious at Yana's point. "Hey Yana's right! How do we know what Raleigh's name is anyway-?"
Lifting a hand, Gantz opened it to look similarly to a hand, and snapped it shut; a cue to Climber saying he should do the same, which he followed quickly. "It doesn't matter right now. What DOES matter is the fact that he attacked MY house. He had said that there was no rush, so I figured coming over here to get some backup would be welcome..." He groaned a bit. "Apparently I was wrong."
A growl responded to this. "Don't blame yourself." Came Gene with a bitter resignation. "We can't predict what that @$$hole's gonna do next, and god sometimes we know we all want too..." He looked to Yana with crossed arms. "What really burns me up is that Raleigh did what he did to you, Yana. Losing your memory is hard. Both me AND Gantz have been down that road before." He groaned a little. "But either way, it looks like we have no choice. We'll have to play his game in order to get your memory back... So Gantz, whada we do? You're in charge here."
With Gantz, he thought a moment. "Well, it's aparent we'll need to split up to get anything done. Gene, Lilia; I'm trusting you two to look after the house. While you're at it, see if you can hack into Dimensional Island's multiple networks, and see if you can find anything suspicious." He then turned to Misty. "Misty, you're coming with me, Rose, Metal, Climber and Red. We're gonna accompany Yana to the DTBS and find out what's going on." Misty nodded with a grin and pounded her fist into her open hand.
"Hey!!!" Came Tarosuke looking quite displeased. "What about me?!?"
Deciding to be blunt, Gantz looked to Tarosuke. "Well, once the demons finish fixing up the house, I want you to scope around Dimensional Island. If you find any suspicious activity in the spiritual pressure let me know." He pulled out his cell phone. "You know how to reach me."

Yana blinked. He hadn't expected Gene to say that. Been down that road before? What, did Raleigh steal their memories too once? He figured that he would ask later.
He didn't like the idea of so many people coming along--whatever Raleigh was, Gantz seemed to think he was extremely dangerous, about how much he didn't know, and judging from Misty's reaction to the phone call, having her within a mile of the guy probably would spell disaster. Still, he thought that Gantz would insist on coming along, and privately he felt assured by this--he didn't know his way around the island, and judging from the woman from the church that morning, there apparently were people on the island that wanted him dead or worse for whatever reason. He spoke up. "Guys, thanks, but--well, do you think it's a good idea to come with me? I mean, Raleigh obviously has SOME history with some of you, and from what you're saying, he's extremely dangerous. Which brings up my point--" He rounded on Gantz. "WHY are you bringing a CHILD along?!" He pointed at Red. "I don't care if she has a buzzsaw sword thing, it's too dangerous to bring a kid to what MAY or MAY NOT be a trap! AND--" He then turned to Misty. "I'm not stopping you from going with me--but from what I understand, you clearly hate his guts. And didn't you say he tried to drive you insane once? What if he does it again?! I'm just saying I don't want anyone else to get hurt on my account."
"Wilhelm, what's your status?" "..." "Wilhelm?" "..." "Boost the signal, we're getting interference somewhere."

A smile crossed Gantz's face at Yana's concern. "It very likely is a trap, yes." He shrugged, "But it would be far better we had Red with us, then without. She's a pretty vicious fighter when she wants to be, and on this island, vicious fighters can come in handy every bit as much as fighters with magic tricks."
Lilia nodded. "He has a point. Sometimes it's as simple as overpowering your competition, in other situations it's like a game of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' and a certain type of fighter can do more damage then the other." She held up her pistol, "I met this one guy for example that couldn't be beat so easily by anything, EXCEPT for bullets from a gun. Knee-caped the guy before he could see what hit him."
A shrug followed this. "If it makes you feel better, we can keep a eye on Red while we're out. So don't worry about it too much." Metal said crossing his arms. "I doubt she'll need the attention, but whatever."

Yana opened his mouth to protest, but then he realized that they would most likely choose to bring her anyway. He sighed. "Fine, you win. Jeeze, I wish I didn't have to trouble you guys with this..."
"Wilhelm, this is Mr. Raleigh, are you there?" (Static) "For creation's sake, Strahl, pick up the--" "HA HA!!! SUP, B*TCHES? CHECK OUT MY CREW!" "What the--Princess? What are you doing?" "HOSTAGES, *SSHOLE!" "...Oh, wonderful." (Think we're almost done with this thread?)

[Here sounds pretty good, but I wish to do something right here real fast.]
Seeing Yana's concerned expression, Gantz placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry okay Yana? We'll be fine. We're in this together after all."

Assasination mission report
Client: (Censored) Target: Little Red Riding Hood (Nicknamed Red) Status: Under intense protection (Changing mission difficulty rank to 'S'.) Reward: 1,000,000,000 munny Location: Church District; Void City, Dimensional Island
Notes: My last attempt at the life of this psychotic target did not end well in the slightest. Alone she posed little threat against me, due to her lack of magical ability. However upon chasing her into the Industrial District, I came across a young couple who stood in my way. I had no choice but to retreat due to the combined fighting prowess of the two, which far exceeds my own. I have tracked the young couple and the target to their home in the Church District, but all attempts to approach have been unsuccessful. Several varying degrees of powerful magical protection covers the length of the house, making infiltration impossible. For the time being, I have holed up in a house to plan my next move... Note to self, demand for an increase in pay...
-------------------------------------------------------
As she finished making those notes at her new home in the Church District, Vanessa, the Black Cat Samurai, put away the pen and let out a little groan. This job was taking a LOT longer then she had hoped to be perfectly honest. She had hoped that she would be able to finish the job in a hurry so that she could go on vacation when all was said and done...
But now here she was, staking out, trying to catch her target when she stepped out of that magical bunker of a house; somewhat similar to how a cat would wait at a mouse hole for a mouse to just crawl out.
As she sat there, she let out a bored little sigh...
Yep, she was DEFINATELY asking for a pay raise after this...

(I'll start up the next one, but first...) Yana didn't say anything for a second, then sighed. "Thanks..."
"Status report?" "The DBTS has been taken over by Princess and her associates, sir." "And Wilhelm?" "He was inside the building last we checked...Sir, the charges have been set. Why not detonate the building and cut our losses?" "It wouldn't kill her, and there are innocent people in that building....Jihl, what's the status of that assassin?" "She's in the church district according to surveillance." "Keep an eye on her for now. Also, bring me the Alex file, I want to update it." "Sir? No one has clearance to--" "You do now. Bring it to me. It's time for round one in our game."
