[Still unknown is the mysterious girls name or origins. With Angelica heading off to meet with Ichigo, Jasmine and the newly acquainted Akane Hartsock take the girl to the airport station in hopes of figuring out who this girl is and maybe help her remember herself. Sadly things do not go so well and they are unable to identify her so they are left wondering what to do next]
Checkpoint Guard(Akane):*Sigh* Well this is starting to make absolutely zero sense.
?: What's not making sense?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): The fact that you can't remember who you are, where you came from and why you came here.
?: Oh...
Jasmine: I don't get it. You had to have gotten here somehow. There aren't any other places around here for you to have came from. It's almost like you just appeared outta nowhere.
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Sure seems that way don't it? I know! How about ya'll take her back to Lighthaus? I'm sure one of them teachers there would be able to help you out.
Jasmine: Oh of course! Why didn't I think of that?
?: Maybe I'm not the only one having trouble remembering huh Jasmine?
Jasmine: Oh don't say that. (^_^)
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Alrighty then! Let's go and meet up with Angelica and tell er the plan.
[ As the group walk through the town square heading towards where they will meet Angelica, The girl looks around in aw as they pass through. Something about this place was strangely familiar to her. There were a lot of people set up with shops all around trading and selling to travelers who were gearing up for the long journey ahead that awaited them. Some places sold weapons, some sold armor, some sold food and medical supplies? Wait shouldn't they be getting that from a hospital or something certified to be selling that stuff? Isn't that illegal or something? No? Huh...weird. Well anyway there's a lot this place has to offer. The girl also notices the statue in the middle of the square. It was a statue of a woman sitting casually in a gold and yellow outfit with light glimmering from it and her face staring off into the distance with a pleasant gaze. She wasn't sure why but when the girl saw this, something in her came to life. It was very strange.]
?:*Tugs Jasmine by the shirt* Hey uh...
Jasmine: Yeah?
?: Who is that?
Jasmine: ...I'm not sure.
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): That's Oxum, she was a great hero long ago who gave us the Oasis we have today. Some say she had magical powers outside of normal standards. She was said to make those around her feel the joys life that may or may not have been lost to them. Just standing near her was enough to make someone be in good spirit.
Jasmine: Wow really? She sounds awesome!
?: Yeah. She must have been an amazing person huh?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): It's nice they made this statue in her honor. Some say that a part of her still lives inside it, watching over the people of this town. How come you asked about it?
?: Well, I don't know. I guess something about her seems familiar...like i've seen her face before.
[Suddenly, without warning, a man runs into Jasmine, knocking her to the ground. He doesn't stop and just keeps on running. What a jerk]
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Hey! Watch where you're going!
?: Oh my, are you ok Jason?
Jasmine: I'm fine...wait what did you call me?
?: Jason.
Jasmine: …
?: …
Jasmine: That's not my…
Angelica: HEY!
?: Oh hey, It's Andrea.
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): You mean Angelica?
?: Was that her name?
[Angelica, not too far off, flies towards them looking pretty upset for some reason.]
Angelica: Don't let him get away!
Jasmine: What?
Angelica: Tonitrua! Come on!
[ Jasmine and Akane watch as Angelica flies past them going after Tonitrua.]
Jasmine: Oh Dang...
?: Who is Tonitrua?
Jasmine: Akane can you with her please?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Sure thing. You go get em honey.
Jasmine: Thanks. I'll be right back.
[Jasmine starts to run towards where the other two went. Angelica, still flying around, gains altitude so that she can spot where Tonitrua went. She sees Jasmine and points to the bar where she thinks Tonitrua ran into. That would be an ideal place since typically kids their age can't go in there. Jasmine sees and heads over into the bar. She enters the bar hastily moving towards the check in. The bouncer by the door notices her about to walk in the bar without going through the line first and stops her.]
Bouncer: Whoa whoa whoa...what are you doing? You're a little young to be here princess.
Jasmine: Oh, sorry. *shows ID* I'm from Lighthaus. Did you see a dark skinned man in a orange hoodie come through here?
Bouncer: ...Yeah. What about him?
Jasmine: I need to find him.
Bouncer: …
Jasmine: It's an emergency.
Bouncer: Yeah, I can't let you in here kid.
Jasmine: What? Well Why not?
Bouncer: Because I could lose my job.
Jasmine: Yeah but this guy is a very dangerous criminal.
Bouncer: And I could lose my job.
Jasmine: Can't you just turn your head this one time?
Bouncer: No.
Jasmine: Why not?
Bouncer: You just asked that question
Jasmine: …
Bouncer: Go home kid.
Jasmine: Look OVER THERE! IS THAT A WALRUS FAUNUS?
Bouncer: *Looks* What?
Jasmine: *Runs into the bar* sike!
Bouncer: ...That did not just happen.
Random Dude: Can I go in now?
Bouncer: ( -_-)- Sure whatever man.
[Jasmine walks through the bar trying to spot where Tonitrua went. It was pretty crowded, like some sort of party was going on. The music was pretty loud and not a lot of people were sitting down. Most of them were walking around talking or others waiting in the line that let's you go into the club in the next building over. Why did they need to separate the club and the bar into two buildings? Pretty sure there is another bar over in the club so it seem kinda unnecessary doesn't it? Anyways, Jasmine spotted someone going out through the back door and figures that must be Tonitrua so she races after them. She busts out the back door and looks around for him but he's nowhere in sight.]
Jasmine: Dangit. What am i going to do now?
[Jasmine begins to panic a little. Tonitrua was well known for being one of the hardest people to find in Vacuo so if they lost him here, that was pretty much it for there only chance at catching him. Jasmine tried to calm down and began to put her training from Lighthaus to the test. You See, unlike most other combat schools, Lighthaus did not only focus on fighting and the education of Grimm and past enemies the world had faced. They offered many things from medical research to engineering. But most importantly, they taught all of their students, no matter what career path they chose, to not experience the world through just with their body and mind, but with their hearts as well. Jasmine closed her eyes and began to focus on the rhythm of her heartbeat. The more she focused, the more powerful but calm it felt. Once she finally took care of calming herself down, it was time to find Tonitrua. He would most likely have a more fast paced heartbeat and maybe even a darker heart than hers since he was a well known criminal around here. She began to walk down the street. Keeping her eyes closed and mind open, Jasmine walked towards someone who seemed out of breath or had just been in a marathon. Maybe it was him? She felt Angelica was still flying around overhead and her friend Ichigo was near by which was good. In case he tried to run again she would need someone there to back her up. She also sensed Akane and the girl close by too. As she got closer and closer to the person she opened her eyes and recognized him immediately. Trying not to spook him she walked close behind him. She alerted the others with a ping which basically is just how it sounds. Jasmine, ready to make her move, goes directly behind Tonitrua, kicks his legs out from under him and he drops to the ground. Tonitrua quickly recovers and strikes at Jasmine, knocking her to the ground. Before he gets a chance to run, Jasmine grabs him by the leg and tries to trip him but he kicks her off of him. He takes off down the street and Jasmine follows him but cannot keep up and starts to lose him. As Tonitrua begins to lose her, out of nowhere, the mysterious girl uppercuts him as he runs past her. Jasmine catches up and sees her standing over the knocked out criminal and notices the girl looks a little different.]
Jasmine: Whoa. Thank you for that.
?: ...
Jasmine: Um...
?: …
[Jasmine approaches her cautiously and puts her hand on her shoulder. The girl looked like she was scarred. She was trembling and looked like she was about to cry. Something seemed wrong.]
Jasmine: Hey are you okay?
?: What? Oh hey Majestic!
Jasmine: It's Jasmine...
?: Oh. Sorry about that.
Jasmine: Is everything okay?
?: Yeah. Why do you ask?
Jasmine: You looked pretty upset a minute ago.
?: I did?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Hey!
Jasmine: Akane?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): *Runs over to the two* Why did you run off like that girl? You had me worried sick!
?: What do you mean?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Never mind. So is this the guy?
Jasmine: Yep. (^_^)
[Angelica flies down and lands next to Jasmine. Jasmine notices Angelica's glasses are gone and she has a black eye.]
Jasmine: Oh my gosh, Angelica!
Angelica: Yep.
Jasmine: Are you okay?
Angelica: Oh I'm fine. This isn't too bad. In all honesty I'm more worried about him.
Jasmine: That was all thanks to her actually. She got him pretty good huh?
?: Wait what?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Dang girl! Look like you knocked him to next week!
?: Oh, uh...sorry.
Angelica: No it's fine. We've actually been wanting to catch this guy for a while now and thanks to you we got him!
Jasmine: Yeah!
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): That must've been some punch. By the way he looks, you would think she's done this before huh?
Angelica: Yeah I agree. Now we can finally get him back to Lighthaus and get the info we need!
[The girl watches Tonitrua slowly crawling away as they are talking. Tonitrua gets up and begins to run but is immediately tripped by a little dark skinned girl wearing a lighthaus school uniform.]
Ichigo:*Pulls gun on him* Sorry but you're coming with us.
Tonitrua: W-wha..?
Ichigo:*Shoots Tonitrua*
Jasmine/Akane/Angelica: (-_(-_-)_-)...Really?
Ichigo: It's just a gas gun, calm down.
Angelica: You really didn't need to do that.
Ichigo: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
?: I...remember my name
Angelica: You do?
?: Yeah It's...Iris...Iris Blu.
Jasmine: Iris Blu...huh That's a pretty name.
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Sure is!
Angelica: Well then Iris, I must say that we are very grateful for your help today.
Iris: No problem(^_^)
Ichigo: Angelica, we need to take Tonitrua back to Lighthaus before he wakes up.
Angelica: I know Ichigo, but we don't really have a secure way of getting him there. We'll have to wait here and call an airship to come get us.
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Or, I can just take y'all there now with my ship.
Jasmine: Whoa you have an airship?
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Mhm. Matter of fact, I think i'll tag along with y'all to Lighthaus.
Angelica: That would be awesome! This really does help a lot.
Iris: Yeah! Thanks Harambe.
Jasmine/Akane/Angelica: (-_(-_-)_-)...It's Akane.
Iris: Oh, Sorry hehe…
Checkpoint Guard(Akane): Let's not make that a thing okay?
Iris: Ok.
Angelica: Let's head out to Lighthaus.
