Location: Cosmic Interstate
Time: ???

*Razor's group only just got out of Kalt when Razor's ears perked at the sound of a raspy voice.*

Voice: I can see you are looking for something.

*Razor looked around, and saw a black fox standing a little ways to one side, and he approached Razor.*

Razor: Yeah.
Fox: What is this item you seek? It might be that I know where it is
Razor: I'm looking for the Agate of the Angels.
Fox: Seems there's always one person a year looking for that thing. But, yes, I know where it is as of now. I'll tell you— for a price.
Razor: What do you want?
Fox: Only $60, cash, right now.

*Razor handed over the money, eager to hear the secret.*

Razor: Now where's—

*The fox was already down the road a little ways, and Razor could hear it laughing. Razor sighed, and turned and walked in the other direction. Jade stopped him after only a few steps.*

Jade: You're just going to let him… run off with $60?
Razor: Yeah… I'm not happy about how he went about it but I would have given to him if we would have just asked.
Stryke: You're kidding…
Razor: Not at all… *sigh* There has got to be a better way to look for this gem… I am sick of going door to door and not finding this thing… I just need a clue… or something…

*Razor bowed his head, heaved a second heavy sigh, and walked down one road of the Cosmic Interstate, looking around for clues.*

~~~~~~~~~

Location: Gateway of Randomness
Time: ???

*Razor was walking throughout, trying to clear his head a little. He was still looking for the Agate, and was searching for a random clue, making where he was at the ideal place to be. He sighed as he walked, trying to find something… anything, but finding nothing. He walked a little longer, and suddenly felt something of a pull upon his soul.

Razor *thinking*: It's in here, somewhere… somewhere in this gateway.

*Razor let out a cry, frustration being released, and an unbound joy throughout it all.*

Jade: What's wrong, Razor?
Razor: Nothing is wrong at all, Jade! Its here, I can feel it!
Jade: How are you going to find it in this place? How can you find anything here? What if you're just feeling something else and its not here?
Razor: And if it's located here, Jade, I swear I'll find it!

*Razor broke into a run, Ollie upon his shoulder and Stryke, Sephrinia, Blitz, Diane, the Cerberus and Jade following after him.*

Jade: But Roi, why here? There must be other places…

*Razor didn't respond, only sprinted, soon seeing a figure growing on the horizon. He soon saw it to be human… then Halkon. Razor slowed, and walked up to Halkon. He took one look at the object in Halkon's hands and rejoiced.*

Razor: The agate! I… I can't… What would it take!? I need it!

*The agate glowed blue, a little more intense now, and Halkon looked at Razor.*

Halkon: Why do you want it so much?
Razor: Please, Halkon, I've been hunting the patron gems forever! I'm trying to get my brother out of Hell and I can't do it without that gem! You have to let me have it!

*Halkon hesitated, then handed the gem over to Razor. The gem glowed red some, and Razor smiled as he felt a sensation in his hands, as if the gem were turning in them, getting cozy. Razor turned to face everyone, and Stryke eyed the gem with a certain awe. He suddenly ran forward.*

Stryke: Let me see it!

*As soon as Stryke touched the gem, he was blasted back into the others in the group. Jade chuckled, helping to catch Stryke, and Razor looked at the gem, which re-established his reddish glow. Razor turned to them, and shook his head, headed back from the direction which they came. A portal suddenly opened to their right, and Razor and his friends hopped through it before it closed.*
