AFR clenched his fist and put a hand into his jacket. ready to unleash an army the size of Texas on Izzy. "I Won't watch you die out there... no matter how much you want this all for yourself. I will be by your side always. I can't lose you again..." AFR got flash backs of Kari sending her to the shadow zone... he closed his eyes.
Izzy: "This is all touching, but a schedule to keep."
AFR: "I will trust you..." AFR's features calmed... for now at least.
Izzy stomped on the ground and the pavement swept up and waved at the two like a giant black blanket.
The wave was stopped by a giant metal wall AFR planted right before the connection that disappeared in a flash, but not with out consequences to AFR as he reeled back and held his head as he got super pale.

"You wont lose me AFR." She frowned and put pressure on the wound, trying to make the bleeding stop. She muttered a few things under her breath. "Izzy is my problem. I lead him back here. I'll handle him." She glared at Izzy as he spoke and then jumped slightly as a wall was thrown out in front of herself in AFR. She glanced over and frowned. "AFR, dont get involved!" She could see the paleness and of course she was worried. She healed whatever she could before opening a portal for him. "Leave."

AFR could have used his rank to muscle in his armies, he could have said she didn't know what she was doing and convinced her to go instead, he could have down right refused and openly defied her to attack Izzy, but he wouldn't do any of those things. His love and respect for Rose made damn sure he would walk through the portal.
"Hell on this Earth won't stand a chance if you don't come back, heaven neither" AFR put his ax away and Held her hand. "In every move you make never forget how important your life is to me." It sickened him to leave... "I won't stand on the sidelines forever, dearest. I hope you know that. I love you too much... I love you so much..."
Izzy sneered at the two as he sent a shard of asphalt at AFR. "Your moment is over!"

Rose was happy to see AFR go into the portal. Izzy was ultimately her problem and if the SC got hurt because of it, she would never be able to forgive herself. She squeezed his hand gently and kissed him quickly. This wouldn't be able to last too long. Izzy had never been patient. She could feel the chunk of asphalt hurtling towards AFR. She moved in front of him. Rose quickly let go of AFRs hand and pushed him all the way into the portal, closing it behind him as energy came up to protect her from Izzys makeshift weapon.

AFR fell face first into his bedroom into the bed as he was pushed... the doors were all melted very shut... he was trapped. The portal was gone in seconds and he was alone. He closed his eyes and held his ax tightly against his chest.
Izzy was damn impatient. "everything we both ever wanted is here... looks like you are doing well in my absence. Military husband to be... friends... a job that doesn't involve killing total strangers..." he paused. "Well, at least any good total strangers, but what about what I wanted... a simple trek to being my father's heir. You should have conceded, Rosette... ow you will pay in flesh, but not your own... the flesh will be of those friends, that husband, and those people you protect. Concede to me, Rosette or I will have task forces sweep what is left of this nation. Not a living being will be spared for your discretion." Simply put... he shed his casing as his hands bled... his blood enveloped around his hands into grotesque looking blades.

Rose felt horrible for pushing AFR back into the room, but it would be something she would have to get over. And soon because Izzy seemed to be pretty pissed. Not that Rose would ever take it as a huge threat, because, honestly, when had she ever seen Izzy as a threat? Well okay, maybe a small one. A medium one. And thats about as far as she would go. Rose glared at Izzy, not making any movements just yet. "You got what you wanted Izzy. I'm completely out of the Fat'ali Ryuin. You can have Ion and your psuedo-glory. Do you really think I give a damn? Just leave me the hell alone." She shifted on her feet as she watched him. "You won't hurt them." Her voice shook slightly.

Izzy glared back. "Say I wont again and I will kill every last life there is to kill on this street... or at the least leave them very much wounded..." He rose his hand and the asphalt seemed to ripple around them. "I am every bit a part of them and they haven't a clue I am there. You could save their lives by simply giving yourself to me and my cause..."

Rose was silenced just by that first sentence. She wouldnt show Izzy just how worried she was at this point. Her empathy had thrown a wall up to keep everyone out at this point as she tried to plan around this. In her sick state, she didnt have a chance against Izzy. She had pushed AFR back into the room. And now, everyone she held dear was in danger. Sonuva bitch. She was too stubborn for her own good. She rolled her shoulders and curled her lip. "What cause might this be, Izzy?"

He paused for a moment, but only a moment to explain himself. "The balance of power is changing in the motherland, Love. Lord Ion has grown old, and soft. You are both his biggest mistake, and his greatest regret. I don't find an end more fitting for the poor old coot then to be killed by his most prized experiment gone wrong. Demons have been let free, our Lord Ion has failed to uphold the tried and true traditions of our ancestors. He is no longer the great warrior who stood by my father's side and took your kind to their breaking point, then snapped their spines in two. Human misery and guilt has crippled and castrated him. The pain you caused him will be his end... or it will be the end of these people."

Rose listened carefully, picking apart every sentence. She already knew she wouldnt just be folding into his cause. She was basically selling her soul to it. Izzy could dodge the actual meaning all he wanted. Whatever. Rose sighed. To kill Ion. As much as the man deserved it. Rose still held some type of respect for him. But the Shadow Clan was so much more important. And if this helped them... Fuck. "Fine."

Izzy laughed... "that easily... after the human who loves you begged for you to come back?" It was juicy... because she had no idea what he had in store for her... "I want all of you in this mission... the girl we trained, not her weakened self these people made... give me that girl or the deal is off and you may feel free to sort through the bodies for your friends and loved one."

Rose's facial expression didnt change in the least. She would be back. She just didnt know when. But she would be. Rose didnt speak either. She was trained with obedience and seeing as Izzy seemed to be a rank or two higher than her in the Fat'ali Ryuin now, she couldnt say a damn thing. She pushed her hair out of her eyes. Her eyes catching on the ring on her finger. She sighed quietly. "Yes'sir."

Izzy smiled and let his hand drop. "Well then, you know the way back to Amamizu, private... click those heels, there is no place like home." AFR would be a sad puppy with not a word about this agreement. Izzy smiled a mile wide. He gazed at that ring and thought of something "You will see once you return that this choice will be a bit more demanding of you then you realize..." The ring was taken from her and pocketed by Izzy. "That man is the first thing to go if you are going to be under my regimen. Not to worry, you will find that you will forget him easily, just like the old days, isn't it Rosette?"

Rose folded her arms and glared. It was a sad sad day when Izzy was above her in ANY type of rank. She scowled and about punched him in the face as he grabbed her ring. In fact, she had a fist stopped mid-swing. She clenched and unclenched her fist and drew her hand back to her side. "Give me back my ring Izzy." She wanted it back dammit ><

Izzy challenged her... "You want this back... then earn it back... complete the mission and I will hand you back to your friends with bows in your hair and your mind in tact..." He pointed to the air where the portal should appear. Course his intentions were a bit more malicious then to just let her go back as he got her.

Rose opened the portal. "Fine." She would have added a 'you sonuva bitch' to that, but she needed to get this over with smoothly. She turned on her heel and headed for the portal.

Izzy humphed out a single laugh. "I promise I will grow on you Rosette. Your tour of duty won't be so bad..." He gazed at the hotel... "I can't say the same for that ticking time bomb inside of you."

Rose rolled her eyes. "Whatever Izzy." She stopped when he spoke a second time. "What?"

they walked into the portal. After they reappeared in Amamizu Izzy continued where Rose left off. "Oh please Rosette, lets not be children about it... you had a good run as a cognitive being for a long time going, but it was only a matter of time before your other half decided it was time to wake up. Why else would you have come home the first time? Your power was obscene and your eyes changed, almost like another person picked up your body and started dancing around with it."

Rose closed it behind them and fixed her hair, pulling it up into a complex, messy bun with her hair sticks. Her collar had been off for a few days, but a tattoo could be read on the back of her neck, Shadow Clan written under a barcode. She had coaxed Hawk into healing the tissue as she pulled the collar off, ultimately tearing her skin. "So you know exactly whats going on?" And now she did too. She had a chance of fixing it now.
