"Huh...?" Taini heard the callings... or so she thought. Turning around she saw no one. "Irvine...?" Clearing her mind, she then remembered, that strange link could practically be used as telepathy. "Eh?" 'Irvine? Where in the world...?' She thought as she hovered in the air.
"So where would she be?" Ai asked with curious eyes.

"No idea... But if she's close, I should be drawing her like a moth to a candle." Irvine said. "But if she isn't quite close enough then... Well, it'd be more of a strange sensation... That she can't tell where it's coming from. Useless."

"Really strange... that is really freaking strange..." Ai pointed out as she noticed Taini in the distance. "...And it strangely works." The woman landed, tilting her head a little. "Hm? How did it go?" She asked without any other question. Ai merely spoke on behalf of Irvine, "He was in a fight with that woman... and he lost. I tried to help but... she was really strong!"
"Really?"

"I was simply overconfident." Irvine said, closing his eyes. "It was carelessness... And of course, I deleted the tracker, thinking I wouldn't need it again... I suppose for now, we simply have to wait and see what will happen." He sighed.
~~~~~
"So you have all the artifacts now, don't you?" An elderly man asked Raine.

"What? Have you come to take them away from me too...?" Raine asked as she lowered her head. "Do you honestly want me to give these up now?"
~~~~~
"I..." Taini looked away. "It's alright. I'm sure nothing wrong will come of it. If it does... well, we'll stop the threat, like we always do. But you two look like you need the rest, with all the hell you both went through today with the army. I should probably go home myself. You know, Derrick worrying too much over me because of the baby, blah blah blah..." She rolled her eyes as she attempted to imitate her husband. "I swear, it's not that big of a deal..."

"In relative comparison, what happened to Ela wasn't a big deal either." Irvine pointed out. "Taini, you need to get your priorities straight, or else you're going to find yourself in hot water one of these days with no way out."

"On the contrary, I simply want to see if your quest is one that will be worth helping." The old man chuckled, blowing smoke in her face. "Now then, take this." He said, a clear orb appearing in her hand. "It will turn red if you're lying." He laughed. "Now what is your intent! Feel free to not answer." He said.

Taini grit her teeth, feeling a bit offended by the words, but then she seemed to have calmed down. Ela... Of course he would remind me. I can't even see the fact that I'm hurting my own child. Everyone else seems to see it... then I just go on ahead and pass it off as if it is no big deal.
"You're right. I should really take it easy. I don't want the same mistake happening." She sighed. "I'll rest."
"Promise us?" Ai asked. "I mean, I'd like to be able to play with your kid! Geez!"
"Yes, yes! Promise! Gah... I won't go around saving the world or whatever. UNLESS!"
"Unless?"
"The situation calls for it."
~~~~~
"My intent is to revitalize this planet to give it more time." Raine replied as she held up the orb. Her voice seemed confident in her answer, and it was proven when it did not glow red.

"Why?" The man asked. A simple question, with no doubt, a less than simple response.
~~~~~
"... Yeah, but you have a month. After that, you're retiring for a while." Irvine said, turning. "Ai, let's go home. There's not really anything else for us here... Not as far as I can tell."

"Yeah, I'm ready to go home. See you later, Taini!" Ai grinned before unsealing her wings and taking off ahead of Irvine.
Taini merely glanced at them before turning away herself, but only after retrieving her phone. "Right. Better listen to them for once. Ugh, reminding myself more of my own grandmother every day. Stubborn and a complete moron with no regard for anything else." She sighed before taking off back to her home.
~~~~
"To give people a chance to live... and to be able to take down the one threat I have been needing to for quite some time," Raine replied as the orb, once again, did not glow red.

"And this is where we reach the center of the shrubbery maze. What threat is so important that you need the relics to destroy it, even when the world still has thirty years strong, hm?"
~~~~~
The two soon arrived in Mizuho, landing near their home. Irvine stepped into the home, opening the door and petting their dog. "Sit, Ayame." He commanded, going to the kitchen to make two sammiches.

Ayame whined for a moment before sitting down, taking in what little affection she was given. Ai followed in after the man, her mind on other things rather than just sammiches. I wonder if he would really ever want kids someday. I hope not... would he REALLY even want to marry me anyway?
~~~~~
"I don't need the relics to destroy. I need the relics to lure it out... and help the people of this planet. Is it too much to ask?" Raine pointed out. "Look, I don't want to talk about any longer."

"Well then I don't know if any of the Gods will allow you to activate those relics." THe old man chuckled. "One is dead, and the other will probably flip when she finds out you stole her property. I can't imagine the third would much care either." He said.
~~~~~
Irvine soon finished two normal sammiches and a stale bread, gravy, and cheap beef open faced sammich for the doggie before sitting on the couch and offering Ai the more perfecter one.

"You would be that third, wouldn't you?" Raine simply asked. "I am sure they would help me. One of you." She pointed out. "If it is to help Carleon, after all. I think I'm going to retire for the night. I have a busy day ahead of me."
~~~~~
Ai took the sandwich, thanking Irvine quietly. Taking a bite, she began to think. "Irvy... what do you think of children? I mean, Taini is going to have one someday... I mean, would you care for it?" She asked, though it was obvious that the question was directed at something else.

"I would care for it, just as I would like to someday have a child of my own." Irvine said. "It's just... One of those things, I guess." He said. "But for now, I see no reason to worry about it." He said, looking at her. "You?"
~~~~~
"Well then, good luck with that." The old man said, blowing more smoke in her face.

"Oh, I would probably care, only because well... she's your sister and all. But as for a child? No. Nu uh. No way." Ai replied. "I couldn't handle having one. It is too much responsibility. But... well let's just finish the sandwiches." She said before munching away.
~~~~~
Raine merely inhaled the smoke, not at all coughing or caring. After all, she was a smoker once you know. And thus she retired.
Another week passed by. It seemed to have been relaxing. Taini had been well, caring for a certain extinct bird as well as her own body, taking it easy. There had been no news of any army, and all seemed quiet.
Though she couldn't help but wonder... why hasn't anything been done yet?

Because it was heard on the news. Mizuho had been absolutely demolished by a serious force, seemingly just a natural disaster, and from the looks of things, there were no survivors, at all.
Derrick awoke that morning, no longer Doderrick. "I want some real food..." He groaned, listening to the news. "... And not stuff like that."
"Included in the list of the missing with no body found are former Colosseum Champ Irvine D'Carn, and current Champ, Ai Inairi." The announcer said. Over the last 6 days, rescue crews have tried to approach, but constant earthquakes have made it impossible.
~~~~~
Irvine shrugged. "I agree, we sh..." He closed his eyes suddenly. "Something is coming... We need to move no-" He was stopped as the roof of the home collapsed suddenly. He threw himself over Ai, the both of them being buried in rubble, as was Ayame.
When Irvine awoke, everything was dark, only the light of a flame nearby. "What the..." He looked around. "Underground... But what happened...?" He asked, looking around to see Ai uninjured. And at the end of the tunnel... Taini.
"Yo." She said with a smile.

"Constant earthquakes?" Taini asked with a mouthful of donut as she popped a donut in Derrick's mouth. Swallowing, she cursed. "Alright, we're going. I still have three weeks left before I retire everything. Get moving Derrick!" She cried before running upstairs to pack her belongings.
"Oh! And there is sausage! Lots of sausage!"
~~~~~
Ai groaned as she rolled onto her knees, her eyes locked with Taini. "Okay... this is really messed up... HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR HORMONES IN A BUNCH! SERIOUSLY!!!" She cried before cursing. "Irvine, I don't have a weapon... we have to knock her out somehow!"

"I have mine..." Irvine said, drawing Fenrir. "And... Look around, I noticed stuff from the house here." He said, his stomach suddenly churning. "Damn... Hungry..." He groaned. 'Must have been out for a while..." He thought. "What are you doing here!?" He asked the 'Taini'.
"Oh, y'know, not much, hangin' out... Killin peeps, makin' zombies, normal shit." 'Taini' said. "All for the grand works of master Jade!" She continued, drawing Trinity.
'Impossible...' Irvine thought, sword on the ready.
~~~~~
Derrick immediately began to gobble ravenously. "We need to stay safe though." He said through a mouth full of sausage.

"Derrick, you're not going to tell me that we're going to sit down, shut up and ignore this are you? Ughhhh, you all are impossible!" She cried out before sighing. "Whatever. Stubborn Taini has kicked in and Stubborn Taini will leave Derrick if he is going to act like that!" She cried, this time NOT going to be stopped.
~~~~
"Jade? Who the hell is that?" Ai asked as she searched for her epee. Grabbing it quickly, she pointed it at 'Taini'. "You don't sound like Taini... at all. You sound more like... her grandmother O.o. Either way, we're going to kick your butt! Right here and now!"
