AFR nodded... Kat wins... she was right... though he was dead when he showed up... "Of course... so where is this nick fellow... when could we go there?"
As Rose killed many things the man was in the process in bringing the queen to her knees... with a snap she was killed and there was nothing left but Rose and that man who was presumably Lord Ion...
(this won't be any longer, i promise... then you could do whatever.)

Kat shrugged, "He was hanging around with Hawk last time I checked...I'd assume we could go there right now if we wanted." >.> Maybe. They'd have to find him first though.

Strangely enough, Rose looked relieved to see Ion. She folded her arms across her chest and dropped her shield

Damn it... AFR didn't have to time for a game of hide and seek right now... so he cheated... He flipped open his master com link and homed in on Hawk... "alright... lets do this..."
Ion closed his eyes and shook his head. "Shame they had to go out like that... but with a lack of anything else to do second or even third rate threats will do more then satisfy my bid of protection..." He turned and looked at Rose... "what brings you back, Rose?... may I have the honor that it is me, one way or another?"

Rose hooked her shusukens on her belt. She frowned. "Actually. You are the reason" she toyed with the collar on her belt. "I apologize."

Kat walked off in the direction of Hawk's com link...which luckily enough, had been left in the kitchen, where, by sheer coincidence, Nick happened to be. He had been thirsty. Perfect timing! He glanced over at Kat and AFR as they entered the kitchen, all stony faced. Aw man, why did he have the feeling he was going to get yelled at again, "Dude, I didn't take her back to Paris, I swear to God!" Ahhhhhh.
Kat blinked, scowling slightly, "Nick, shut up."
._.; "Okay." As long as he wasn't gonna get eaten, he was cool.
Kat crossed her arms, looking vaguely uncomfortable, "Can you get us to Amamiazu?" OR HOWEVER ITS SPELLED I STOPPED CARING D<

Ion smiled... "You are not the first to have tried... with a bit of luck perhaps it won't be the last... but you have grown since we have last seen each other. I knew you would." He stood with his arms behind his back... very proper and respectful...
AFR... blinked... "How do you know this kid again?... " Kat was a bit rough on him... more so the Hawk ever was with Robyn... he felt a bit sorry for Nick.

Rose actually smiled a bit. In this version, Rose had a much different relationship with Ion. She was very resentful towards him for how she was brought in, but she still respected him and almost saw him as a father figure. "I don't see you surviving this one. Im fighting for something this time."

Ion looked her over... put his hand to his chin... "Something... or someone... or more so... some people...? Do they treat you well on Earth, Rose? I have so much to ask... so much to want to know... I knew that ass Alstott was lying about you. I never had a doubt in my mind that you would fit in amongst the human crowd there." His shoulders were heavy or maybe it was his heart... Izzy was dead on... Ion would not fight this battle well... not at all. "I would meet them some day, yes?..." He shook his head... "Of course not... you are here to do a job... and that job is me."

Rose leaned back against the nearest wall, her arms folding across her chest. She nodded. "They do. Amazing people." Her lips quirked up into another smile. "You can ask away. I've got time" she didn't mind telling Izzy that she wasn't worth anything these days so she could sot here and talk for a bit. Besides. Izzy couldn't hurt her as badly as he thought he could. "You could meet them one day if you're willing to play a game with me." Of course Rose had something up her sleeve. She always did

First thing Ion noticed was her neck... "You got it off... no one has ever gotten their marker off, Rose... not even me..." He bared his arm to show his branding... "You are the first... I knew you would be. No one of any realm has what it takes to control you... I had luck and wisdom on my side... but as I could see even that has broken wide open with the times." Ion still looked uneasy... he was not used to this feeling. "When Izzy told me you left us I was deeply regretful that I could not speak to you before hand, but you found a good group of people there on Earth. I am proud of you Rose. You have accomplished in bounds far more then I had expected of you. The training you have gone through has treated you well... I see you still carry my gifts with you as well." Ion was smiling... it was the reunion he had been wanting. "Game???... " e asked with an eyebrow raised. "What manner of game do you speak?..." He half smiled getting back Izzy after this sorry attempt of an ambush was right up Ion's alley right about now.

Rose glanced down at her collar. She nodded a little. "It took time and an amazing healer," ie Hawk "but I got it off recently. I had to if I wanted to get this-" she pushed her hair out of the way and ducked her head to show off her tattoo. "Very painful. But, worth it in the end." It took her near forever to work that thing off. But, she did get it off. And her neck was healing. She shifted slightly and watched Ion carefully. "Izzys a bastard who will get what's coming to him one of these days." Once this was all over, Rose would destroy him if it took her life in the process. "The Shadow Clan is amazing. They take wonderful care of me." That they did. She smiled a bit and nodded again. "Of course I do." A grin spread across her lips as he questioned her aboput the game. "Well, I'm sure I can still fool Izzy with a lovely swap and get you out of here." Rose would never have the heart to kill Ion. The girl was too nice

Ion slowly moved closer to her... "This place will go back to what it once was... and by that I mean it will be made to the realm it was before the wars started. I have cleared out our POWs. By the next time you come back you will be welcome here once again, not only as my most decorated and honorable recruit, but also as a respected citizen of Amamiazu... I am taking this city back from the mindless grip Izzy has it in. We are marching forward from the past. I hope one day you will have a hand it it's reconstruction, Rose." The man stood proud in front of Rose. Of her and of her clan mates. "The boy deserves it... he will surely pronounce me dead and flaunt my body to every single pair of eyes that could see. I wish you would stay to see him fall. You more then any other should have front row of that right."

Rose listened as Ion spoke, noting each movement he made. It wasn't that she didn't trust him. Oh not at all. It was just that life had taught Rose to be careful with everything she did. She liked the sound of Amamizu being rid of war and terrible conflict. "I am very glad to hear it." Rose would come back if she made it through all of this. She wanted to help put her home back together. She was sick of being hated and put out. Thought of as a weapon. She would be more than happy to help in any way she could. "I plan on feeding Izzy his heart when I get the chance. Which reminds me..." she trailed off as she walked towards one of the many creatures that had been destroyed. She was going to throw Izzy off. She crouched down next to the creature and grabbed a dagger from her boot before plunging it in and hopefully ripping out a heart. She pulled it off and held it up. "Does it look enough like something that would be in your own chest?" she would send Ion to the Shadow Clan if she had to. Izzy wasn't going to get real satisfaction.

Ion smiled... "Up the ante... here... take this as well..." Ion removed a chain from his neck... inside a locket... "This was on my neck at all times... Izzy, you, or anyone else to ever go through the program has never seen me without this. If he does not buy the heart... he will buy this... but take good care of it... like yours I need it" He blinked... then opened his eyes wide. "Your medallion... Rose?... where has yours gone?" He gestured to her neck. Another gift of Ion's something to keep Mara at bay when Rose was a wee little demoness.

Nick grinned slightly, glancing at Kat, "Can I tell him the snowbank story?"
-_-; "No." Kat didn't look amused.
"Pleaaaaa--hey!" Nick had to duck under the something that Kat threw at him o.O

Rose grinned and wiped her hand off on her pants so she wouldn't get blood on the locket. She took it, handling it gently. "Good idea" >> she didn't get smart on her own you know. Ion taught her quite a few things. She nodded. "I'll take amazing care of it." She slipped it into her coat pocket, energy surrounding it to protect it. She reached her hand up to touch her neck where her necklace used to be. "My fiancee has it." She brushed her bangs out of her eyes. "We had a few issues with Mara. Its a long story"

Ion quirked his eyebrow steadily... "We will save that for another time, Rose... in the mean time... make sure you hand Izzy that heart... and give it a nice squeeze when you do..." He smiled... "I would love for you to return once... and bring this fiancee of yours. I would love to meet who fixed the heart I could not..." He would return to his secret town after this... "Be careful Rose... we need you out there..." He nodded solumly to her and bid her good luck.
"what about the snowbank?... they have snow in France?..." he shook his head... "Please... you get us to Amamizu and I will make you a dune buggy... with whatever you want added... I don't know how much time we got." AF looked pathetic there bribing a kid with a dune buggy

"Dude, of course they have snow in France." Hello. Why had nobody ever been to Paris? "Er...I don't really need a dune buggy..." >.>;; "Thanks though." ^^ "Mmkay...Give me a minute and a half." He had sort of gotten sidetracked and hadn't tested it yet >.> Nick vanished from the spot where he was standing.
Kat glanced at her watch impatiently, muttering something darkly under her breath. BAD MOOD AHOY.

Rose nodded. She didn't mind putting that conversartion off for another time. She was actually still very embarrassed by her actions during that time. And she would rather that Ion not know about them x.x especially right now. She smiled. "I'll be sure to bring him around." She would keep to that promise. If things got better around here, would AFR object to a wedding in her home? She wondered. Hrm. She turned holding the heart in her hand still. "Be safe." She said as her parting words. Rose left the cave quickly. A portal opening for her ourtside of it.
