Thread: Bounty Hunters Part II: The New Era

"Whoah." Jack nodded. "Alrighty then. No forcing it. Got it." Jack sighed. He was used to pressuring things and forcing things and breaking unbreakable limits.

Tye did a series of aerial back-flips backward to dodge the constant flamethrowers. "I like your speed, but I can handle the heat" He smirked at Stephanie. He flipped backward once more as he drew his bow, it's silver plating gleamed in the light. "I'd like to see your average flames go toe-to-toe with this" He smirked once again.

Serah nodded, continuing to walk. In her pocket, her phone buzzed a low hum... a call, perhaps? Taking it out, she looked down at it. "A text," clicking the confirm button, she quickly scanned it. Her eyes lowered into a half-lidded stare as she clicked from it. "Good grief," she sighed out loud, smoothing back her hair.

What was that... the fourth one in the last two weeks? Seriously, this was getting so old really fast.

"What is it?" Klay asked, noticing that Serah seemed bothered about something.

"Yeah, normally the center would accept you once you find it." Tara explained. "But first you have to get the hang of it, to do it you have to forget all your mental traumas, complexes, defects, throw them all aside and clear you mind form everything and everything."

Jack nodded. "Understood." He said with a new determination.

Serah only held a hand on her face. "Some idiot's been spamming my inbox with these veiled threats," really... death threats were something she found absolutely nothing to fear in.

Stepping into the cafeteria, she shook her head. "If I go and find the person, it would be the end of it..." but if she did that, she would revert back to what she was before... no! She wouldn't think about that time. The Corps was long behind her.

"Well, just be careful." Klay instructed.

OOC: So I'll be skipping now.

Two days later...

The ship was out of the hangar now, it had been completely repaired and prepared for the trip to Beast Archpelago. Klay was wearing his white colored Slayers jacket once more along with a buttoned red shirt and a pair of black jeans. "So I think we have enough supplies to last us." Sakura said, she listing the thijngs that the group had.

Klay looked at the ship once more, his hand tugging onto his backpack slowly as he looked at the floor.

Jack was wearing a black button down under a grey vest and black slacks, backpack slung over his shoulder. He was wearing his wire frame glasses and his nose was buried in a book.

Serah walked out of the house. She'd donned a black tanktop, baring her midriff, with blue jeans and black boots. She had a large pouch hooked to her bottom, storing much of the dehydratized foods she'd be taking with her. Her tattoos had finally stopped glowing as she stepped forward. She was ready for a mission.

Though, she was patient. She wouldn't go bull-rushing into battle unless she had to. She never doubted her, in her eyes, limitless capabilities. She just preferred to watch.

Brine was wearing a white v-neck t-shirt and red skinny jeans along with a thin black jacket. Brine was standing near Jack reading a book, "I really hate you for getting me into these things, I was all set to go on in an illiterate style but nooo you had to go teach me the joys of reading... damn it I lost my place."

Jack chuckled. "You're welcome." He said with a smile before using his PSI abilities to flip Brine's book back to the correct page.

"As much as I hate to admit it, you're kinda useful," Brine said.

"You look good." Klay smiled at Serah and patted her back before chuckling at Brine. "Well who knew." he nodded his head for a moment. "Is it ready Tink?"

"Yeah, you can board at any minute now." Tink nodded his head before opening the compartment of the ship.

"All right guys!" Sakura announced. "We are at about 8 hours away from the Beast Archipelago, from here till then you may do whatever you want on the ship." she stated before adjusting her glasses. "Now, even though the mist has cleared it is not completely so when we reach the entrance we need all the help we can get to guide ourselves, then I want you all to remember that it's a mostly uncivilized archipelago with a lot of powerful creatures so be on look out for anything."

"The Archipelago itself has a total of five islands, the Tree of Knowledge is located on the centermost island of Oroboros." she then stopped and jumped down from the top of the ship to land in front of the others. "And that's our goal."

Serah heard the briefing, nodding. "Right. Adepto arbor, primum primitate."

Blinking, Serah shook her head. What... was that just now?

Jack raised an eyebrow at Serah's words. "I didn't know you spoke Latin." He muttered, nose still buried in his book.
