The sandcraft made it's way through Blue Crane, still traveling after a day. It was impossible to go fast in Blue Crane since the space available for the craft was limited in most spots. There were the occasional dips and the like that allowed for much more room. Sometimes it seemed like you could fit a small town in here. And, that is what the group came upon after a day. The town was built up on each of the two sides of the space, and in between the two sides of town there was a shallow patch of snow much like the one that the Maxwell Gang had rested their sandcraft upon the day before. As they brought their ship to a halt just outside of town, they were surprised there was no big ruckus made for them. It seemed that outsiders were common here. The truth is, that outsiders from Filgaia's desert were common here, in the Sutton of Nemo. It's just that many who come in never leave due to the long walk back through the cold. The natives to Nemo were kind and not much different than Baskars, but they wore parkas here, and their skin was a tad paler.

While Clive, Gallows, and Virginia went about meeting the people of the town, and finding food supplies, Jet and Emilia went into a shoppe. Clive was all too happy to find this village, because it gave him an information overload.

Despite what the others of the group were doing, the recovering Emilia, still a bit battered from her fight with Aries, looked at clothing in the store. Jet glanced at the furs and pelts and looked to the shop keep. "Uh, say, I notice you have animal skins…but…I haven't seen any animals." The shop keep simply nodded, never giving an answer to the question Jet never asked but hinted at. "O…kay." He decided to ignore his curiosity. The truth was that there were varied amounts of animals in the tunnels. Jet glanced out the window and watched how there was sunlight coming from a hole high up in the ceiling. He had to wonder where that hole came out.

"I bet no matter what I bought I'd still be freezing." Emilia commented. She now wore a jacket, after losing her black sweatshirt with the hood when Aries slashed it's sleeve and back. Jet meanwhile just stood with his normal clothing, add one coat instead of a vest, and his scarves were much closer than normally.

"I wouldn't worry about it though. It seems that we will soon be out of here judging by those maps we have." Jet noted. And still they had found no sign of Twilight Lone or Nobuo. He was starting to wonder what the heck they were doing down here. There was a cold gust as the door parted and a pale-skinned Adven waddled in with lips that were tinted blue. He was in his normal garb, and not ready for the cold weather of Blue Crane. "Adven?" Jet had to question when he noticed that Blue Crane is not a very well-known place. In fact, it was a myth to anyone who wasn't already here, and that meant about ninety percent of the people outside of the snow-filled tunnels.

Emilia noticed the color of Adven's skin. "Uh…you okay there?"

His lips trembled, "F-f-f-freezing…a-ass…o-o-off."

"You should probably wear a coat." Jet said, only to gain an agitated look from half the room. Had he a coat, Adven would have worn it. That, and at this point it was guaranteed that Adven wanted a coat. "Uh, here."

Adven caught the blue trenchcoat that Jet tossed him. He quickly put it on and buttoned it up. "Th-that's a bit better."

"Uh, can…I ask why you're here in Blue Crane, Adven?" Jet wondered. "You can't possibly have followed me all the way here just to fight…did you?" Jet would not put it past Adven to try such a thing.

Adven cleared his throat. "I came into Blue Crane to find a man named Dal." He explained, before letting anger burn in his eyes. "That man…he…he bought the deed to my home because his father and mine had…difficulties with one another." He formed a fist at his side. "I intend to get it back from him before they tear my house down. The only problem is that he lived a few miles from here in some cave stronghold of his."

"He took your land?" Jet clarified. "Pheh. That's just a low blow if you ask me. No one should deserve to lose their home because of such a stupid reason. So…I'm gonna help you get it back."

Adven could not quite believe Jet's words, but acknowledged them anyway. "I should warn you then, that Dal and is gang are strong. He runs the group called 'Devil's Hand', a known group of assassins and pirates, etceteras."

Jet waved his hand about. "Don't worry. I'm super strong as it is…but I suppose if that isn't enough I have the other guys of my group to back me up."

Emilia squinted her eyes in agitation. "Your group?" She questioned.

Jet ignored her burning glare. "I'm sure if you and I were fighting together, Adven, nothing could stop us anyway."

Adven let his hand rest on his chin as he let thoughts bounce around in his head. "You may be right."

Jet noticed the lack of a female with Adven. "Say…wasn't Sakura with you?"

"I wasn't about to let her get caught up in this." Adven replied. "This is my business, and not hers', but I wouldn't be surprised if she gets curious and follows after soon enough."

"Is that so?…" Jet muttered. "Anyway, let's go back to our sandcraft so we can get after this guy." The truth of the matter was that Jet had a feeling that Dal was a strong guy, and at this point, Jet was only interested in getting stronger so that he could beat Nobuo easier when the time came. It seemed to be the only thing that mattered to Jet as they continued looking for the Twilight Lone. Only one more Element, and then it all goes down, and that meant one more chance to fight Nobuo for Jet. His pride was damaged still from how Nobuo ran circles around him all the times in the past. He transferred his annoyance and anger for Nobuo into an enthusiasm for becoming stronger than before.

Adven and Emilia stared at Jet who seemed lost in thought at the moment thinking about how he would handle Nobuo in the future. They followed after him as he left anyway. However, the shop keep snagged Emilia just as she was leaving the building. "You are going to have to pay for that coat your friend took."

Emilia sighed. "He isn't even my friend…" Regardless she took out her coin pouch.

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKKOK

Virginia vehemently shook her head. "I agree with Jet. We should help out Adven since we haven't been getting anywhere in our own trek."

Jet shook his head. "I really don't think we should all go."

"Why not?" She wondered. "In order to have some backup if things go wrong?"

Jet hummed. "That's one reason…but," He left the topic in his mind and moved on. "So, anyway, I want you and Gallows to stay here."

"I want to go with you though!" Virginia protested.

Jet remained calm and with his arms crossed. "I've said my piece and told you what I believe. I think you and Gallows will only get in the way if you come."

It remained silent for a moment. "I…I will respect that then. Gallows and I will not come along." She surrendered.

Breaking the tension, Adven placed a map he had down on the table and pointed to an area that was ahead of them now. "I've done my research and found that Dal is at this cave. This is where we need to go."

Gallows picked up the piece of paper. "I see. It's not very far away. I'll take us there." He went to the front, and away from where the group normally sat to eat meals to sit at the bridge and take the sandcraft for Dal's hideout.
