‘Talk to me Bon.’
‘There is someone following us, and we are definitely sure that it’s not one of the attractions. We are currently disguised as some normal employees, so he does not suspect us a threat.’
You lean forward, locking your fingers and resting your chin on them. Okay. Image in your head. That’s… definitely the guy from earlier. Why does… why does he seem familiar? Jaki, come on, if you’re gonna do something, you’re gonna need to do it quick. He’s approaching them, contacting them. Okay. He’s pretending to be a patron who got in before things started. A lie. They’re trying to escort him out. And… he tries to knock them out. They have to reveal themselves, blocking his attempted chop. He still manages to push them back.
‘Good news! He’s a scumbag and up to no good, you were right on the money. Bad news, he feels STRONG.’ Bon Para relays to you.
Izzy stops an attack as she notices too… which ends up getting her knocked off by Sala, who hoots in triumph. ‘Peppa. The hell are they doing?’ she contacts you, being knocked off barely even registering in her mind.
‘...Security work?’ you answer. It is not the best answer.
‘Okay uh, this guy has beef with boss apparently?’ Don Para relays to you. ‘He at least knows of us as “Her new lackeys.”’
…Wait a second. That couldn’t be-
Jaki appears in front of them in an instant. There’s a surge of Magic… and that blue haired man’s “armor” is revealed for what it really is. Carapace. Neuros of the Cell Sentai. Izzy climbs out of the pit in an almost panic. It catches the bugman off-guard that Jaki managed to dispel his disguise, but he seems nonetheless still confident.
Big mistake. Another surge of Magic and Neuros is just… gone. GONE gone. Like he’s been teleported away somewhere. ‘That should hold him for quite a while.’
You blink slowly. ‘…What was that?’
‘A properly prepared Magical spell to shunt away certain unwanted entities. Apologies that took some time to get ready, but I figured I only had one shot with that once he properly revealed himself, and I couldn’t very well let him know I was readying it.’
You ease up again, Cocoa giving you a concerned look. “Peppa? They’re almost done.”
“Right, right. Yeah.”
She gently strokes her fingers through your hair. “You’re relaxing again. Problem solved?”
>A. Problem solved. Things can continue as planned!>B. Jaki, where exactly did you send that guy? And HOW?>C. Shit shit shit who’s winning?! Sorry, sorry, sorry, didn’t mean to get distracted>D. …We should call a pause before continuing>E. Something else?
