Marvolo's POV
Kit it seemed was his son. Why the boy chose that as his name, was beyond Marvolo. It was what a baby fox was called. Unless his son achieved an animagus form already. As unlikely as it seemed it did happen. Extreme stress with fear caused some wizards to do untold magic.
How his son came across Circus had to be an interesting story. They didn't take just anyone for their little group. Those that they did had abilities that set them apart.
The blond said his eyes showing his anger at them, "You hurt, Kit. Why should we let him go back to you? You would only hurt him some more."
Marvolo's eyes flashed with anger and it was only Severus' hand on his shoulder that kept him drawing his wand. He would never abuse his heir. No matter what anyone said about him he didn't harm children.
The young captain must have read where the anger came from. He said softly but firmly placing his hand on the blond's arm, "Yogi, enough. I do not believe the wizard means Kit any harm."
"But, Hirato..."
Something passed between the two men. The one called Yogi, shoulders slumped and he nodded. It seemed despite the unruly nature of the group there was still order.
Marvolo asked his voice not betraying the unease he felt, "You call my son, Kit, why? Why not call him by his true name?"
Hirato replied calmly, "We can't call him what we don't know. I didn't know young, Kit for long. We just rescued him from an organization known as Kafka only for him to be taken again."
A dark look crossed the younger's face. Whoever Kafka was it was obvious that Circus didn't approve of them. They declared war on Marvolo for taking his son and heir.
A ringing sound drew their attention to Hirato. The captain frowned but pulled his phone from his jacket. It had better be important to interrupt this meeting. Otherwise someone was going to pay dearly.
Hirato answered it a hint of irritation crossing his face, "Hirato..." The man listened for a moment.
A spark of life entered the blue eyes. It seemed there was good news.
The man said, "Tell Tsukumo to prepare both airships for an attack. Full force. We won't let Kafka get away this time. Tsukitachi and I will return shortly."
When he disconnected the call Hirato stated, "We have a lead on young Kit. It seems Nai can lead us to where Kafka is hiding him. We must attack now before they decide to move."
Tsukitachi stood and said with a carefree look, "Then we should get going. Unless you wizards want to make an agreement now. We could use all the help we can get."
Marvolo put together the hints that they were giving. The men had a lead on his son. They weren't sure they had enough power to go after him alone. In turn they were offering to the agreement and work out details later. For Harrison he would agree to work with the men. Whether it would last after the raid. That was still to be determined.
Once more the blond known as Yogi didn't look happy. Despite this he didn't argue about it.
Marvolo said standing his hand held out, "We will help. How do you plan on getting us up to your ship?"
The two captains exchanged glances before turning back to him. Hirato said grabbing Marvolo, while Tsukitachi grabbed Lucius, and Yogi Severus and Benjamin, "Like this."
They began to float up. It wasn't magic that allowed this. Marvolo didn't know what it was. It however did bring them all the the way to the airships. Both of which were floating high above the city.
They entered the belly of the ship and were greete by... was that sheep?Marvolo could only stare at things that stood on two legs.
The three Circus members intoned, "I'm back."
Then the dropped their charges. Yogi said coldly, "You better say I'm back. Unless you want to get thrown off the ship."
A blond haired teenage girl stood waiting for them. She said with barely a glance in the wizards direction, "Captain, we are prepared. I have left a small group here for the festival. I have ordered the ship to make towards the Kafka stronghold."
Hirato said with a curt nod, "Well done, Tsukumo. Prepare all members for battle. These wizards will help us in this fight."
