Act XX
Sven yawns and glances at the clock. "Well, it's been about six hours, we should be getting close to Mexico." Sven looks over to Kaylee and Hyun, both of which are sleeping. Sven turns back towards the front window and sees a pure black object on the front of the plane. "What is that?" He squints in an attempt to see it better. "Is it…a person?" The figure smiles, and waves goodbye to Sven. It flies back a little, off of the plane, still waving. "What's it doing?" The plane suddenly lurches forward, knocking Sven to the ground as the engine shuts off. Hyun and Kaylee are wide-awake again, all the lights are off and the plane is diving down. All that the three are able to see is the land getting closer and the black figure remaining a foot or two ahead of the plane. The figure laughs the entire time, until almost the end. It suddenly looks up with a straight face, before disappearing. The lights turn back on immediately and the plane begins upwards again. The three let out a sigh of relief. "What the heck was that thing?"

"Hm, I know that I sensed Andrew and Adam somewhere around here." The figure flies around the sky, in search of a plane. "Ah, there they are." It flies over to a commercial airplane and breaks the door open with its hands, goes inside and seals the hole with some kind of force field. "What're you doing here?" The figure looks over at Adam and smirks. "Is that any way to greet a friend?" Adam frowns. "You are no longer James, you look more and more like her every minute! And your attitude is changing in the exact same way." James shrugs. "Is that bad?" Adam shrugs. "Well, honestly, it doesn't affect me one way or the other." "Then go away and stop talking to me. I've got a score to settle with Andrew." "Whoa, it may be fine for you to be evil and all, but you can't just go attacking your own teammates." "I wasn't asking you Adam, I suggest you move." Adam remains still with his hands on his guns. "Very well, if that's how you want to be." James swipes his arm and Adam flies into the sidewall. James moves on, towards the cockpit. He breaks the door down. "Yo, are you here Andrew?" James smirks. "C'mon, I know you're here." Andrew slowly stands from the co-pilot seat. "It looks like your eyes are going, buddy. I'm right here. And cut the act, you're not James, don't attempt to talk like him." James smiles and shrugs. "Very well. I assume you know why I'm here?" "Of course." Andrew puts his hands on the hilts of his swords. "You know that there's no one here to save you this time, right Andrew?" "Like I'll need it." Andrew quickly pulls his blades and lunges at James. "Sure about that?" James disappears and reappears behind Andrew. "Running away?" Andrew jumps to the side as a fireball flies past him. "I'm not as weak as I was the first time." James laughs. "Neither am I, and I'll only get stronger." Andrew quickly stomps out the fire before turning around. "If you don't join us, you realize that the Outcast will destroy you, don't you?" "I'd like the see him try." James grabs Andrew by his wrist and throws him at the wall. Andrew slowly crawls back to his feet. "I wasn't paying attention, no fair." Andrew's eyes quickly move to the side and James sighs. "Adam, I know you're there, don't bother trying to sneak up." James turns to find Adam with one of his guns to the front window. "See ya." He shoots out the window, and as James flies out, seals it with the same type of force field James had sealed the door with. James bangs on the field, but it does nothing. "Very well, but if you think you've won, you're mistaken. James disappears without another word.

The three have finally managed to calm down after being attacked. "So, we should be there very soon, within a couple of minutes I guess." Hyun and Kaylee look at Sven and nod. The next few minutes are uneventful as the plane lands in the middle of a street. "So, this is South America?" The three hop out of the plane and look around. "Something is weird about this place." Sven draws his sword and listens closely. "What's wrong with it?" "It's...normal." A crowd of confused people surround the plane and the three, speaking spanish or some other language that they can't understand. "Um, yo, do any of you speak spanish?" The people look at Sven with an eyebrow raised. "I guess that's a no?" The three shrug. "The evils haven't come here yet, but this will be their first stop." Kaylee shrugs. "I guess we're waiting then. The evils aren't here." Sven sighs. "So we deal with the people speaking a different language until then."

"Thanks for the help Diablo, we would've been doomed without you." "Whatever, mortal. If I wasn't forced to pilot this airship or whatever you call it, I could've defeated her on my own." Adam sighs. "You realize we can't kill him, right? The Outcast just wants him captured so that he'll join us." "I don't care what the Outcast wants, I want my revenge on that woman!" "Jeez, would you let it go, man?" "Shut up and sit down, we're landing." Adam sits down and puts on his seatbelt as the plane begins to descend. Andrew flies forward into the forcefield and falls to the ground, unable to get up. "Son of a-! You could've warned me!" Adam shakes his head and sighs. "He did, fool."

"I don't know what you're saying!" Sven gets knocked back into a wall by an officer who yells at him in another language. "Leave him alone!" Kaylee punches the officer in the face and he falls sideways onto the ground. Officers immediately swarm around the three of them. "Put your hands up!" Sven sighs. "Sure, now someone speaks english." The three raise their hands as the officers take their swords and the gets pushed into the back of a police car. "Nooo! Now what Hya?" "Jeez, calm down, man. We need to waste some time anyway." Kaylee can't seem to stop shaking and looks very nervous. "We just got arrested in a country that doesn't speak english! How can we be calm at all?" Sven sighs. "Good point."

Adam opens the door of the plane as they lands but finds that they're surrounded by a crowd of people. "Umm..." "C'mon Adam, move." Andrew pushes Adam out of the plane, into the crowd. "Back off!" Adam raises his guns and the people back away. "Don't scare them all off, boy." Diablo steps out of the plane. "That's my job." The people stare in terror as Diablo descends the steps of the plane. Adam puts his guns away and shrugs. "Very well, I'll just go find Hyun, Sven and Kaylee." He pushes his way out of the crowd. Andrew looks to Diablo. Shall we begin?"
