:~The Found~:

Jade sighed and removed his glasses. "So… what happens now?" The colonel looked at Kale his red eyes piercing thorough the others. Kale stared back with an unwavering gaze. "well many things could happen...we could sit here all day and get captured by the oracle knights, go back to Daath and hand Luke back over to the general... or--" he was cut off by both Jade and Celle's icy glares. The lancer sighed. "Ugh lighten up already…" Jade smiled coolly. "Ahh? What happened to the person who was just yelling at me at the fact that I don't care?" His smile turned into a smirk as he glared at the lancer.

Kale shrunk back a bit. "Yea… but--" Kale was silenced with by a gloved finger on his lips. "Ah. Ah. Ah~" Jade smirk widened into a grin. "You really don't want to be my enemy… surely you know that." As he said that he looked over his shoulder. The other two looked over as well trying to see who the colonel was talking to.

There, standing somewhat hidden behind a tree was Asch. His poison green eyes were wide with shock. "D-dreck!?" he took a step back in shock. He stayed like that for a while. His mind unable to process the scene correctly.

Finally it clicked though, "Jade!" his voice held a cold commanding tone—similar to the way it was when he was a god general, and something no one has heard in a long time. "What the hell's going on!?" he stormed up to the colonel his green eyes filled with anger and concern for Luke, not that he would ever admit it. "Who are these people and what do they want with Luke?" His hand rested on the hilt of his sword as he glared to the women holding Luke.

Seeing this, Kale was instantly in front the young lady, his eyes narrowed as he glared protectively at the offending redhead. His piecing ice-blue eyes bore into the fiery green of the ex-god general. "Don't even think about drawing your sword god general." He spat out at Asch with venom dripping from each word.

A look of betrayal crossed the teen's face as Jade walked up to the two strangers. "Jade what you are doing!" his hand fell to his side in disbelief. Jade said nothing; he only pushed his glassed up the bridge of his nose and stared at the red haired boy. "These people are not our enemies Asch…" his voice was just commanding as Asch's before. "They helped Luke escape god knows what they were doing to him in the labs."

Asch flinched. "Dammit…" he looked down a look of failure written in his stance. He clenched his fists and turned around. "I'll inform the others of the replica's…safety…" His voice sounded a bit awkward as he began to walk away. A small noise stopped him though. That sound came from Luke, who was half conscious—brought back by the presence of his original. Celle looked down at the injured boy. One of his dull green eyes was opened slightly gazing at his original. "…Asch…?" a small barely noticeable smile was on his face and his voice was dead and hollow. The tone made the older redhead's heart clench. He tensed and turned around as he did so the replica perked up a bit. "… I remember you…" though the voice was weak, he could hear relief flooding through it, giving it a little bit of strength. Yet, those words were all he could manage to say before he fell back into unconsciousness.

Endere cursed. How could he let that thing get out of his sight!? Pacing the room of his almost empty office he let out a low growl. "Dist!" he turned to the white haired scientist, expression set in a fierce glare. Said man flinched under the overpowering gaze. "Yes general?" a cold smirk lay across the man's pale face. "Shall I send out the dogs?" his voice held a sing-songy tone to it.

The General rolled his eyes. "Send EB2-4 out fist. I want that boy found!" the silver haired God General laughed. "As you wish~" With that he turned on his heels and walked off back toward the labs.

Looking down the rows at the many experiments he sneered. The pathetic creatures were calling out just begging for their death—or so he thought. "Now, now…" he cooed. "You will all get your turn…" he stopped in front to a small cage. "One of us is missing… Tell me… did it escape?" Dist didn't bother answering "EB2-4… you have been given a mission." "Ahh… so soon?" a dark voice ran out from its imprisonment. . "So… what kind of mission is it… tracking…?"Dist smirked, so the thing caught on. "Or… can I kill it?" the creature scrapped its claws on the metal floor of its cage as if to sharpen them. Dist glared at it. "Kill the target and I will have you euthanized." Those words made the creature rethink his actions. The experiment recoiled and backed away a step or two. "EB2-4 you will complete you mission or die trying I will not allow you back here empty handed, if you do… you will suffer."

The voice chuckled "I like those circumstances… alright, consider the job done… I shall not fail you, My master."

Back at the inn the sun had risen and everyone was getting ready to go. Well, everyone minus two of the three boys. Guy sighed. He had checked both Asch's room and Jade's for any clues but with no success. Scratching the back of his head he walked down stairs his blue eyes fixed on the door.

Grumbling he yanked at his short blond hair. Sometimes it was annoying to be here, not knowing what was going on, who to trust or even what to say at times. Just about at the door now he stopped. "I swear one of these days I'm going to—"Suddenly the door flew open hitting the poor blond in the face. With a yelp he fell back in his bum staring at the feet of person who came crashing in.

"W-wha—Asch!?" the blond swordsman looked up holding his bleeding nose in one hand. "w-what the…rush…?" His eye widened as they locked with Asch's. The boys green eyes were wild, though seemingly calm, underneath there was a panicked look. A look only those that knew the boy well could see.

"no time, really. Get the others we have to go…" he turned and stormed up the stairs for his things. Turning at the top of the stairs he looked down at Guy. "NOW!" that was all that was needed for the blond to scramble to his feet and run to the girl's rooms.
