Lorna flew into the city with Ana walking close behind her. Lorna could have walked as well, but why walk when she had other mods of transportation? As Lorna flew past a few poles and traffic lights, they began to bend and twist, breaking off and reshaping themselves into nothing causing many people to scream and scatter like millions of pathetic littla ants. She grimaced at them in disgust. She desperately wanted to make them all pay, but she remembered Raven's orders. At least she would get to kill a few of them. These wretches were just like her adoptive father. They only used others for their own selfish gain not caring if the other person ended up hurt....or worse. As Lorna approached a series of bridges overlacing each other, they began to creak and bend. The supports could not hold against Lorna's force and began to snap causing the bridge to collapse. The bloodcurdling screams and cries of many of the people who had been on the bridges could be heard as they fell to their deaths. Yes, she could have moved them easily out of the way, but Raven said nothing about not killing all of the people.

☆═━┈┈━═☆☽Ӑᾐᾷ ℒȏςҟɦӑѓť☾☆═━┈┈━═☆ Ana's eyes shut, a bit of irritation on her face. The screams were etching out in her mind, screams of children and screams of their loved ones. "Lorna, you should listen to me," she murmured, her eyes glowing.
Ana did not speak to Lorna again, a small concentrated look on her face. Her eyes still held the glow, her mind connecting with nearly all of the ones about to meet their demise. She brought them into her world, a world that was usually full of darkness. However she pitied these souls, sending them to a world full of lights. The screaming stopped, a peaceful look on all their faces.
The glow from her eyes vanished, her body falling back into a relaxed position. She didn't understand why she pitied them, the people who hated her because of her gift. However it always made her remember her parents and the love they had for her even when she was a so called "freak". Her hand played with her fan, her eyes shifting from side to side, waiting for when she would have to protect Lorna. ((EDITED))

Kojiro was about to say something, but then he paused, he knew he would not be able to handle this mission on his own, he looked at her and nodded "...Understood..." he said quietly, he looked towards Dwyte, his english had gotten a little better, "...I am going to avoid too much attention until we get to our target..." he said in a low tone, he was a little uneasy, he was never sure who he was talking to, however he just hoped if Mail began to lose his temper Kojiro was not in the crossfire. His attention had been diverted as he looked towards Nat,"...You too...be careful..." he mumbled, however Nat was already out of earshot. He began to step off of the train and looked towards His partner,"...Ready..." Kojiro turned and began to make his way into the city. A commotion was already beginning to make it very easy to blend in.

Lucien looked at the water Herald as she took a seat. "As lovely, as ever I see." He said rather bluntly. He put the towel down and lookt up at Roulin as he began explaining himself. "There's a lot of pressure when you know you can't tell a lie isn't there Roulin? Relax, if it's that nerve bending then." He trailed off. He raised his hand to his eyes covering them with his palm. He slowly removed is and his eyes returned to their normal color, with all the power he had gained the natural pigment of his eyes had changed a bit. His eyes were light brown around the edge of his iris, and as it got deeper towards his pupil they begame a beautiful green color. He looked at them and said. "Much like you all have your guard up so do I. I can't help but keep a certain level of protection." He said softly. He sat up from the couch looking at Roulin. "Is that it? Because we're both Owls?" He laughed a little and reached for his cup of coffee taking another drink.
He placed it back and looked at Cecilia. "So you're the new member of Roulin's group? I hope you're up to the challenge. You've got some big shoes to fill." He said as he leaned back in the couch. "As for whether or not I heard about the death's of course I did." He said as he flicked his wrist up the newspaper from the table by the window flew to his hand. He gripped it gently and opened it without looking at the page numbers. He showed them the obituary section. "See? The corpses of Owls found dead in the streets. Of course I've seen them. But those who suspect me will not come to face me. They know who I am, well sort of. They know me as Lucien the leader of the UNS even if i walked right by the mother of one of the OWLS I doubt she would do anything simply out of fear. Besides the smart ones, the ones I can say are followers know it isn't my work. This imposter is only digging his grave the minute I get off my vacation I will have to have a talk with him or her." He said as he leaned back looking up at the high ceiling.
"You're here to prove my innocence. How do you plan to go about doing that? Capturing the real culprit? Or perhapsa some public speech that will rivet the minds of those who are doubters? Their will always be speculation, always be those who doubt and cause problems." He said with a small chuckle. "I'm sorry, I'm not sure where that came from. It seems I am developing a sense of whimsy. That doesn't sound like me." He sat up straight again as he looked at them all waiting for some level of response.
As Anderson watched the Japan front he returned to his duties. He shot up into the air his silver aura filling him again as he shot along the sky like a shooting star. He zipped and dashed inbetween the buildings, down below he could see the UNS and Night Owls, some were helping other bore the scars of their previous battles, he knew some would not forgive just like that it would take more convincing. He landed on the ground and smiled. "Well it's a step in the right direction. Dante would have loved to see this." Che and his own team working together on something, he would be proud.
As his shift was over Luca leapt from the tower his body fell until a few moments before impact there was a massive pulse that shot from his body and the entire flow of energy stopped allowing him to descend the left few feet in a cool almost gravityless state. He smiled and flipped some of his white hair from his eyes. The inmates didn't dare attack they knew that he had the authority to kill them, and one less prisoner would draw no attention. He looked down clenching his mechanical hand. He sighed and started to leave. Lucien had put him on patrol in a Japanese Prison, why he wasn't suer but his job was over and now he had to return to base.

Vinent looked at him as his curiosity of his ability interested him. He never thought his ability was too special, he could stop things and blow things up, no big deal. "No every OWLs power is unique and precious" he told him. He said nothing for a while as the piece soon fell to the ground.
Aeon looked at Moli as he approached her. "Of course I have a minute, what's up" she asked him with a smile. She didn't know what he wanted to talk to her about but she did enjoy the moments that they had together. She looked around and she could see the exhaustion of the others starting to show. Hopefully they would be leaving very soon.

"I've realized. That's why I need my deck back or someone who can teleport. When I get what I need, the whole thing will be like taking candy from a baby." When Will walked towards the door, Che's body began to a give off a low hum. He was preparing to leave the room as well. Before he could escape his thoughts and memories of Roulin, Moli, Felicia and Dante, he spoke to William once more. "Sleep? What is that? I have a future to change Mr. Ambiguous. I'll be seeing you out there." Che, using one of the five powers he had on him, shot out of the room leaving only a black and white streamline which vanished soon thereafter. Now that that part of his life was over, he truly needed rest. Where could he go to find sleep though? "I guess now is the time to see how useful Kate can actually be. Damn it all."
~~~
Roulin looked over his shoulder at Cecilia as she voiced her opinion on the matter and as she went on, the smirk she brought to him grew and grew. He was aware of her deductive skills thanks to past events, but for her to speak up on a matter such as this proved something. Something he'd mark off when the job analysis came around. "Good observation and input Cecilia, but there's something off still about this entire situation...I can't put my finger on it. He may be asking us to look for him, but he may not. If he is, he's doing it in a really singleminded way."
Roulin lifted the pictures from the trashbin using his telekinesis and brought them to his hands. "This guy's apparent choice of slaughtering still makes me think he's trying to frame Lu here. The crimes didn't start until you arrived. He's using your past as his veil...but if that were the case, that would mean that he wants you either dead, or out of the way." The detective ran his fingers through his hair once again and released an exhausted sigh. "Does anyone here know what's on this island that Lucien could be keeping this guy from?"

Lucien laughed a little again. "It's been a while sense I had an actual talk with someone, this is rather fun." He said with a laugh. He listened to Roulin explain what he thought and Lucien agreed. "That would be the most logical conclusion but then it leads to the question of who it is. Someone from my past with a grudge perhaps? Well that's a lot of people, our culprit is a fire manipulator, or something along those lines. He's using a superheated power or weapon to cut through just the scalps it's obviously not telekinesis as I use it." He said as he looked at the pictures one more time. "His targets are irratic. He has no sympathy, in Russia I killed criminals or scum with nothing to give to the world to get their powers, and they have come in great usefulness." He said as he looked at some of the pictures. "He's killing innocent people, something I will not condone. I'm the leader of the UNS afterall, I can't have people falling down left and right under my watch." he remembered when he attacked a terrorist organization's base, they were under the guise of a corporation similar to the UNS but more radical he remembered killing every single one of them, those people were far from innocent though.
"The culprit's motives so far seem clear, but he's sloppy. He lacks the calculating side that makes others so much more deadly. As for what he has to gain, this island is a floating fortress, if one controlled it and the owls they could dominate any country or continent for that matter that they wanted. As well this island holds many secrets, some that in my opinion should remain sealed away." He said as he leaned forward a more serious tone in his voice now. "I can see the urgency of this, I suppose I will have to postpone the remainder of my vacation for now." He stood up and walked into the other room, he returned a few moments later wearing something more suited. He wore a black jacket with a white button down shirt and a red tie underneath. His pants were slim black pants with black and white shoes on. ((Similar to the actual picture of him.)) He looked at them and said. "I have a feeling things won't stay in this hotel room. He retook his seat and smiled a little. "I'm a little glad you guys came I felt that I may be losing my touch and I can't have that now."

Moli slowed his brisk dash to a slow jog as he neared Aeon. He was preparing to leave again and he didn't want to leave Aeon abruptly like he did last time. "Umm, hey." He said while lightly panting. "I just wanted to let you know that unfortunately, I have to leave again. This time, I promise I won't be gone for half as long. I'll be back in less than a few days alright?" The Owl of Light assured his former student. "This time though, I won't leave you just nothing though. Umm, I made this during my time away. It's a few bundles of light packed into a glass pyramid." Thankfully, new clothes didn't meant new content when Noel created them. "I hope you like it Aeon."

Aeon listened to what Moli had to say. He had just gotten back, what was going on? She masked how she truely felt as she smiled at the gift he gave her. "It's beautiful Moli....just be safe" she said hugging him and then backing off. "Well you ought to be going" she said. How could he just leave? He was the reason she embraced being an OWL in the first place. This war was pointless to Aeon, why of all people was he chosen to be the damn herald of light?

((UNS - Will.))
Will smirked. Atta boy, Che. Just like that time in the casino. Well, not quite, but there were similarities. The Satan Owl turned back to the door and walked once again through the dark underground tunnel, leaving the room dark behind him. Had Che faltered more, Will might have thrown him a set of keys to give his younger student the opportunity to raid Will's various establishments for a nice comfy bed paired with a smartass comment. Then again, Will might have just sneered at Che again. If the guy had been around for one and half years with no set home, the guy could continue doing that. Besides, if Che did take up Will's invitation, Che was sure to be subject to random pranks to annoy him. And it wasn't as if it was a major secret that Che had been Will's student. So, the boy's safety could be compromised anyhow.
The air and bright sunlight hit Will full blast as he alighted to the surface from the darkness of the underground. Japan. His face was a serious one now, the smirk gone. He had an image to hold, not that he ever had any problem putting on an image. The man checked his phone again. Smooth runnings.

Lorna had a feeling that Ana would not like what she did and her assumptions were right. Now her partner was angry with her. Ana did not understand how Lorna felt about humans. What she felt for them was something beyond hatred. She muttered an apology before she moved on to the next closest transport system, which was another railway. She did her work. In order to make Ana happy, she made sure to direct the railway away from the people so they weren't harmed. Lorna decided that she would make it up to Ana later. She didn't want anyone to be angry at her. The words exchanged between Lucien and Roulin sparked another theory, which she felt she had to share with them. "Something else just hit me." She looked at Lucien. "Lucien, you said that the culprit was a Fire Manipulator. I believe there is a Herald of Fire, right? I may be wrong, but wouldn't she be a prime suspect in this? From what I've heard, she's very sadistic and this seems like the kind of thing that she would do." She shrugged. "Who knows, my deductions may be way off, but she seems like a pretty good possibility right now. We should at least look into it a bit further."

Lucien looked up at the celestial owl. He raised an eyebrow then shook his head lightly. "Unfortunately that's not the case. The fire Herald commands much greater power than this, besides she's been alive for hundreds of years she would never make a kill this sloppy. Besides it's Thomas they want dead not me. She has no motive to kill me other then bitter rivalry I suppose." he said softly. "She's not afraid of me killing her for successtion because that isn't a possibility, therefore she has no reason to cause this." He said as he leaned back in the couch. He looked out the window. "Besides if she came within the island's limits I would have detected her power, you're a Herald because you're the very best, that kind of power can't be hidden by conventional means, just ask your friend Sakura there, her water powers tower over all other water manipulators. Just as Timothy's electric powers tower over that of other electric users." He looked at her and stood up from his seat as he finished the remainder of his coffee. "it was a good theory, one I would expect from someone who wasn't directly involved in the Nol incident." He knew that sounded a little harsh but for Lucien that was a complement, his people skills were some of the few things he had lost in the course of his life.

(Gotta love double-posting)
"Hmph. Now that could definently be a reason." Roulin reluctantly agreed with Lucien. "I think this person knows that if you're on Exire when he decides to take over that you'll be among the first to stop him. He must also be assured that you won't fail." Roulin managed to slip on sunglasses in the time it took Lucien to leave and returned more formally dressed. The glasses were a coverup so that he could activate his vision and scope the area out. His eyes first caught something that bothered him slightly. Once they were away from the objects, he'd bring it up. There was a case still open and the new team had to figure it out before more people were killed. Roulin's attention was set upon Cecilia again when she expressed her theory to the team. Lucien, using simple deduction, did away with her theory speedily. It was becoming more and more apparent that this case wasn't going to be one so easily solved. "I think the only thing we can do now is either wait until he strikes again, or go out and look for him. We've gotten what we came for and that's information. We can leave."
~Lucien, something is wrong here...very wrong. If you will, explain to me the specific traps of this floor and the five floors below this one~
~~~
"I will Aeon. Don't worry about me alright?" Moli's body began to shine a bright yellow, but not bright enough to affect Aeon. "I'll see you when I get back. Keep growing strong." Before his body dispersed into a million strands of light, he placed a kiss on Aeon's cheek. That was his way of sealing the promise of his return. Right now though, finding L again was his goal. He needed to speak with him before continuing on his path towards stopping Thomas and Timothy.

Lucien looked at Roulin as he began explaining his thoughts. "Yes, I thought of that as well. I don't mean to sound pompous but I doubt that a single person would recklessly try to take over while I am here, escpecially if they know enough about me to understand my motives and methods." He said as he walked towards the window. Staring out it he ran his fingers through his hair. "He's making a mockery of everything I'm trying to put into order." He whispered softly. "As for right now I can't go out questioning every fire manipulator, so I will have to say you're right Roulin we will have to wait until the next killing, or simple attack." He said as he kept his attention focused out the window.
Once he received Roulin's telepathic message he didn't make any physical moves he just responded. ~The traps I've layed out expand every room in this suite. The two you tripped were razor wire's that have been filed down, when the elevator doors opened the wire was strained and cut which allerted me that you were here, the one you tripped before was pressing the X button. I placed a small sphere of energy under it's surface when the button was pressed the sphere was destroyed, this was how I knew you were here to begin with. As well the floor below mine has several traps, razor wire placed along escape routes so I know which direction attackers have fled, the surveillance systems were easy to hack into, I have a computer in my bedroom with all of the information piling in. Using my glass manipulation I have placed several glass sheets in key locations throughout the hotel's support columns, ony signal and the columns will tumble taking the entire complex with it. But I will not activate this one it's merely a last resort. Every door in the hotel have a piece of paper attatched to their hinges, I marked it with a special chemical that changes color when exposed to light, what that means is I can see how mny times every door in this building has been opened and closed. As well I have placed concentrated bubbles of HCl in the air vents if I need to I can flood any room in the building with corrosive toxic gas to kill or simply stir up trouble. There are more but I do not think their importance will be played out, besides they're traps I have to activate not ones that someone can accidentally trip, however all are combat traps and will not be activated unless I see fit to do so.~
