(Everybody thank Starlight AT or this would not have happened for you!)

The week after that, Jing sat at their usual lunch table, but rather then sit at the end between Daisuke and Masashiro, he decided to ass bump Takeshi off the bench to sit between Satoshi and Kiretta, ignoring the slightly aggravated look The commander gave him. "Any luck?" He asked Kiretta.

"I guess. I think I found something. But first I need to put a spell on the item you want to use," She said, Taking a bite out of a sandwich that, at one point, was Satoshi's. She never did pack her own food, so she stole everyone else's.

"Alright. It won't be as easy to break in as last time… But I think I know what I have to do," Jing glanced over at Daisuke.

"Whatever. Just get it to me before the weekend. The last thing I need is to have to cast a spell and keep up with my classes,"

"Why do you even go here if you don't care about the classes at this school,"

"Shut up, you spas fagot,"

**************************************************************

Jing Stood in front of the Casino with Dark standing next to him. "You remember the rule, right?"

Dark nodded, "first one to find the coin wins, I know" It was obvious that he wasn't taking this seriously.

Jing had caught Daisuke after school and told him that he wanted to make a deal with Dark. At first Daisuke tried to ask as if he didn't know what Jing was talking about. But after Jing revealed the he had indeed trailed Dark a bit once and witnessed the transformation, Daisuke was more willing to cooperate.

"Good, You enter through the basement. I'll go through the vent," Jing said gesturing towards the two points of entry.

Dark didn't wait for Jing to start the contest in anyway, shape, or form. Dark was already undoing the lock on the window when by the time Jing finished his sentence. Jing turned to watch The Commander come out of a nearby alleyway. "Here," He handed Satoshi a translucent white gem hanging from a leather strap. They were communicators of sorts that he had stolen from Kiretta's room, figuring they would be useful. The first time he showed Satoshi he nearly caught hell when he told him where he got them. "Tell me if anything happens out here,"

Satoshi nodded. Satisfied, Jing began to scale the wall.

After he made it inside, he found there were far more guards then before, just as he thought. He managed to make it around most of them, but when he reached the office door, he found that his plan hadn't worked. The two guards were still there. One looked fairly human but the other resembled the lizard creature that had chased him and Kir out of his world.

As Jing began to ponder what to do the lizard thing waved to the other guard and they both disappeared behind a row of slot machines. His plan had worked. Just not as quickly as he'd hopped.

Jing quickly padded over to the office door, he pushed it open hoping the other part of his plan had worked better then the first. The door swung open easily, on one side of the room, the passage from before had already been opened and Kir perched on the large coin with and air of pride about him.

"Good work, Kir," Jing whispered pulling the coin from the wall and tucking it under his arm as he had done with several treasures before.

"Yeah, yeah," Kir said flying over to the passage. "There's no use pointing out the obvious. Lets just get the idiot and get out,"

Jing nodded and pushed in the brick that closed the passage. This time to desire feeding coin bugs didn't come out of the wall, Kir made sure of that before he opened the passage. As they neared the bottom of the stairs they heard obvious signs of a fight. Turns out Jing's plan worked better then he thought. The Guards had indeed gone after Dark rather then him, but he hadn't expected Dark to actually occupy them for so long, only giving him a little time to work. But when they reached the basement Jing saw differently. There were several guards laying unconscious… or dead, on the ground and only two remained, the two who were guarding the office door. Deciding he didn't feel like waiting for Dark to handle the guards himself, Jing ran at the Reptilian guard with his blade extended and plunged it into the guards back, at the same time combining with Kir and pointing him right in Darks face. Dark ,having some form of common sense, ducked out of the way just as a shout of "KIR ROYAL" echoed through the basement and a green blast damn near destroyed the humanoid guard.

"C'mon," Jing said to dark, but when Dark didn't move Jing noticed that his eyes were dark and glazed over. He gave a sigh of frustration and ripped and Desire Bug from the base of Dark's skull and killed it with a quick stab. The light returned the Dark's eyes and Jing pointed to the window. "Fly,"

"Wh-"

"FLY!" Dark chose not the question as Jing hauled himself out of the window and Kir alighted on his shoulder.

"What the hell was that?!" Dark demanded the minute his feet his solid ground.

Jing sighed, "Follow me, I'll explain on the way there," Just then the body of one of those reptilian creatures flew past Jing and nearly hit Dark. Glanced in the direction that the body had come from just in time to see everyone's Favorite Russian Psychopath fly out from behind a building.

"Krad," Dark growled and moved to take flight, but Jing grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled him along.

"Least of our worries," Jing said as a rather grumpy looking Dark reverted back to poor, confused Daisuke. While Jing didn't care to really get to know these people, one thing he was absolutely sure of; working with them would be a pain.

Kiretta sat on the rim of the fountain on the platform that over looks the water, with Roven looking over the rails of the water watching something intently. She assumed it was a fish or something, but what ever it was it had his full and unattainable attention. Kiretta had grown very attached to Roven, sometimes he could be so serious and other times as stupid and curious as a puppy. But he was absolutely adorable no matter what. Suddenly Roven's attention was snatched by something else. He looked up into the sky but immediately turned away with the sun in his eyes.

Kiretta immediately knew what it was when she saw a winged shadow circle around a few times. It wasn't Dark. The shadow was to broad to be Dark with his skinny ass. Kiretta started chanting in the magical language which is thought to be the language of ancient Atlantis.

"Not this time!" Kiretta mumbled when she finished. Just as Krad landed Kiretta leaped to her feet (Water bending style J) and before Krad could utter a word half of the fountains water knocked him off his feet. Kiretta began chanting again. But this time a different spell. One of her newest that she's been dieing to use. "Arise," Roven's eyes rose to the sky once more, but this time not into the light of the sun. Something was falling a large humanoid creature with gray-green skin, Like faded Jade and a sword that just about matched him in hight. (Gimungor!) Kiretta nodded at Roven who latched himself onto Krad's back the minute he was back on his feet. As soon at Krad managed to pull Roven off of him, he turned and the first thing he saw was the Jade giant rushing as him, sword ready to strike. "Don't kill him!" Kiretta called to the giant who didn't question, but simply turned his sword at the last minute so as to strike Krad in the side with the flat rather then the blade.

Krad flew into the side of a nearby building a slid to the ground, harmlessly unconscious. There was a flash of light and sitting where the homicidal maniac had been, and equally unconscious, was Satoshi.

"Well," sighed Kiretta, picking him up and placing him on Roven's back. "We might as well take him back,"

"The headmaster won't be pleased if he finds out," The Jade Giant said in a sort of gravely growl. At the same time Roven asked if that was a good idea.

"First," Kiretta said looking at Roven "I don't know. Second," She looked at The Giant "The headmaster also wasn't happy when Takeshi trailed me to the School and nearly saw Jay make the chair explode,"

The Giant Shrugged. "You're choice, Summoner," With that he made a low bow, as the more formal summon spirits do when designated to a Summoner, "My name is Locus. I shall be ready, if every I am needed again," with that he just seemed to melt into the ground, like most earth creatures do.

"Isn't a Locus a bug the travels in swarms and eats everything?"

"Yes, Roven. Yes it is,"
