Rose put her hands on his shoulders and hopped on. Cling.

He held on to her and they started to walk. The streets were actually almost eerie with a light fog emanating from the ground. "So what kept you busy today?"

"Wandering mostly"

He kept as close to her as he could. He kissed her cheek as they continue to stride forth. "Find anything worth while?" He was in the middle of cracking the mystery of Evil Hawk at the moment, so his day was boring, he hoped her's was a bit better.

She smiled as he did so and thought before shaking her head. "Not really"

As they walk forward he gathered up thoughts from his own day. "I have been planning an initiative to getting a head up on Evil Hawk. Have yet to run it by Kat, though." He was really happily walking along now. "It will be like Project Valkyrie... just the thing we need to beat Evil Assassin... only I swear this time it will work." He smiled... confidence? O'rly?

She listened and nodded her head. "Awesome"

They turned a street corner and things started to really get... spooky. The sky appeared to like... Disappear for a moment. AFR noticed this... and of course that meant Rose noticed it double. "Wait... where is everyone... seriously?"

Rose blinked and frowned. "I dunno."

As they continue forward a shade of a figure approached them about the same pace... nothing really threatening about him except for the atmosphere. AFR stood still a moment... should he turn around... should he march forward... "Picking up anything, my dear. Is it hostel?"

Rose frowned and shifted slightly. "Can't tell. It's not threatening. But thats all I got."

He watched as the figure disappered... then a voice from behind them.
"I have found you at least... not a moment too soon either." The man stood forth and the fog lifted from the streets with a motion of his hands. He smiled at the two. "You certainly are looking better then the last time I saw you." AFR scoffed... yeah... he was not all that great of condition that last time.

Rose recognized the voice. But everything was a bit foggy at the moment. She turned her head and let go of AFR. Still slightly paranoid. Energy just pulsed beneath her fingertips.

AFR did not raise his arms or anything, as the fog cleared fully Rose could see who it was.
"You seem surprised to see me. From what I gathered I should be the one surprised to see you. The ground zero attacks, while not like you it certainly had a bit of your signature on it. Until the events that happened back home I near expected it to be true." The man walked to Rose. "I'm not an illusion Rosette. I have come to talk to you, can we?"

Rose was a little shocked but nodded her head. "um yeah. Yeah we can talk." She glanced back at AFR.

AFR nodded and stepped aside as the man worked his way to her.
"It's been an age since I have seen you this way. I miss this from you Rosette. If you could sense a disturbance in your powers as of late the answer is directed to the fact that Our home is under attack. The force attacking us is hard to explain. I feel your essences, but your signatures are just not there. I refused to believe what I had saw and standing here tonight with you makes me happy. I had feared the worst, because everything is in disarray in the city limits."

Rose frowned as all of this was explained. She didn't consider that place home anymore. After everything that had happened. Rose wasn't going back there any time soon. Not without very good reason. 'What do you mean?" How could it have her essence but not her signature. She wasn't very kept up to date on these clone things. Having always been disappearing.

He shook his head. "I have known your power, Rosette for years before even you had. I know what it is like when you are around. This creation can emulate your abilities flawlessly... and until recently I was unmoved because it was taking apart Izzy's armies bit by bit, but then it tapped into your other powers... I was unaware it could harness her too." He looked to AFR. "You have no idea the hell you brought to Amamizu... the humanity is gone from it... now all it is is a killer unmoved by anything but revenge. But it does not have your signature either. This signature is that of another magic... dark in origin." He looked back to Rose.

Rose listened carefully and then started to piece it together as AFR was spoken to. She folded her arms and shifted. She didn't like this one bit. "That's frightening" She didn't like that she was so easily copied. That her abilities could be used like that. Or that Mara could be tapped into by anyone but her. She bit her lower lip and seemed to shift more than usual on her feet. Restlessness tied in with the want to do something. She hated that place but she would go back if she had to. She glanced to AFR. Then back to the speaker. She was worried. This showed greatly. "We have to fix it."

The man nodded and he looked hurt as he spoke. "I never wished to put back upon you the burden of the state of Amamizu, Rosette, but you know If I could handle it any other way I would not be here asking you for assistance. We have lost many allies, many civilians. The demon hoard of the East have rendered the creation a god and have joined it in the destruction of the land. It can't take much more as it was before I left ready to fail. Izzy and his armies have been rendered nearly useless and have occupied the undergrounds near your old estate. No one has heard of him from the creation's last attack and he is assumed dead. I am not demanding anything from you, Rosette. I know You understand the severity of this outcome to the rest of the worlds. I don't wish to take you away from this place a second time." Built up regrets covered his features.
