[COLOR=RoyalBlue]It's been three hundred and fifty years since the Coven sank in the dark.
A new flame.
Started by a witch.
Burns out of control until smothered once more.
[/COLOR][/CENTER]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]The STNJ has reformed and the new members have orders to hunt down and capture witches. Their targets: the witches who have caused a violent, bloody uprising of Craft users. These witches plan to overthrow the government using their powers and risk exposing the way of the Craft to the world. The government, by means not specified, have uncovered this plot and have enlisted the new STNJ to do the job.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]BEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!
" Oh go away!!" Raven murmured, stuffing her head under her pillow.
BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!
Groaning, Raven reached out, clumsily found her alarm clock and hit the 'SNOOZE' button. Turning over, Raven looked outside her window. A cawing sound came from the rail of her balcony. The sun shone brightly through the open window. She slid to the side of her bed, her hand over her face.
" Why this early?"
Raven got to her feet and dragged herself to the shower, grabbing a towel on the way. The cold water rushed over her body, waking her more effectively than any alarm clock could. Now out of the shower and dressed in her work clothes: a red tank-top with black pants and a body-length, black leather trenchcoat. She made her way slowly into the kitchen and switched on her epresso machine. In a few minutes, she was sitting in front of her TV with a hot cup of coffee. This morning's news flashed on the television before her as she sipped her coffee.
" Ah...Don't these guys ever talk about something useful?" Raven said to herself and flicked it off. She set down her empty mug, grabbed her helmet and headed out the door. Parked outside her apartment was a red and black motorcycle. Swinging a leg over the seat, Raven kick started it and put the pedal to the metal. A flurry of houses, gardens and buildings whooshed past her and she felt the exhilaration of speed.

15 minutes later and Raven arrived at 'Raven's Flat', the headquarters of STNJ. Raven looked at the plaque at the front as she wheeled her motorcycle in and sniggered. She always found that somwhat amusing. Clicking the stand into place, Raven made her way to the elevator. With a swipe of her security card, she pressed the button for her floor. DING! The doors opened. A large space with a circular table with computers atop of it was straight ahead of her. To her left, a wall. Behind it was the conference room where the details of their hunts were given to them. To her left, a glass screen to which to boss's office was. Raven made her way to her desk and sat down. The place was empty. She sighed heavily.
" Am I the only one on time here?"

OOC: Ok your first post should be something like that. Coming from home to work. Just gives us more details on how you live and stuff. Have fun!

[Cat]

Spike heard her alarm go of.
Meow....Meow.....Meow went her alarm.
Her alarm was a little cat shape clock. The clock cat was all black and look like the real cat that she had. Luna got up nexts to her. Luna was a little black cat that Spike own. Spike got up and went into the shower. Spike let the warm water flow all over her. Luna waited out side the bathroom door. Luna stomach was talking. She was hungry.
Meow....Meow ....Meow went Luna.
Spike smiled. Spike rarely smiled but Luna almost always finds away to heart.
Spike got out and dryed off. Puting a bathrobe around her and a towl on her head went to give Luna some food. She made coffee for her self and turned on the tv. There was nothing on so she turned it off. Spike glanced at the clock she had alot of time to get ready but she like to be early some times. So she went to get dressed. Spike wore black pants, a black shirt, black high heel boots, and a long black coat. After that she said good bye to Luna and left.
Spike drove a black Mustang Conertible with the top down. Spike wore dark sunglasses when she drove. Spike saw some Houses and buildings go by but not many.





20 minutes later Spike arrived at 'Raven's Flat' headquarters of STNJ. Spikr drove the car into the plaque. She didn't really like this place. Spike moved to the elevator. She swiped her security card and pushed the button for her floor. Ding! The elevator doors opened. There was a large space with a circular desk with computers and stuff on it. A wall was to the left called the conference room, and a glass screen where the boss's office was. As Spike made way for her desk she heard a 'Hi' from behind her. She turn around to see Raven siting at her desk.
Raven: I said Hi.
Raven begain to stare at Spike's scar that could be seen at the top and bottem of her sunglasses
Spike: Hello. I thought I would be the first one here.
Raven: Sorry.
Spike: It's ok.
Spike went ot her desk and sat down. She removed the sunglasses showing her scar acrossed her eye even more and put them one the table.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: I re-edited my sign up.

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Terra sat up in bed, she yawned and rubbed at her eyes. She checked the time and noticed she had slept in. She cursed and created some water in her cupped palm and washed her face with it quickly before it could drip onto the bed. She dried her face on a towel that she kept next to her bed and stood up.

Terra got dressed quickly and headed for the door. She unlocked the door and exited, locking it behind her. She walked to her [URL=http://www.mx-5.de/auto_gen/news/archives/07022003_blue42.jpg]Blue Nissan 350 Z[/URL]. She got in and buckled up. Terra squinted in the sunlight and whipped out her silver, reflective sunglasses and placed them over her eyes. She started the car up and took off.

A while later, Terra arrived at "Raven's Flat", the STNJ headquarters. She drove around the plaque and parked it, heading into the elevator. She felt around in her jacket and pulled out her security card. She swiped the card through and pushed the floor number. She took off her sunglasses and waited patiently as the elevator went up. DING! The elevator doors opened and Terra walked in.

Terra noticed Spike and Raven sitting at the table away from each other in their usual places.

"Sorry I'm late, but doesn't look like I'm all that late." Terra said, sitting down in her usual spot next to Raven.

"Hi." Raven replied.

Spike just stayed silent, everyone was used to it though, Spike was shy. She waved at Terra though and Terra smiled at her slightly. Terra wasn't much of a smiler.

"So where's everyone else?" Terra asked.[/COLOR]

[Hayashi Hansuke]

[font=Comic Sans MS][i]"Sayonara! Masashi-sensei!" .[/i] The little children still waving their hands in goodbye said to their teacher after a tiring day at school.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]"Go straight home now, all of you! And also see you till monday!". A man said, standing beside his motorcycle dressed in white longsleeves folded up to his elbows with an identification id pinned on his left pocket that states "Masashi Raijouku" and black khaki pants with a pair of shiny black shoes. "I guess that's enough for the day?!" [/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]The man then suddenly put on his helmet and stick the ignition keys and started his "little devil". The bike roared it's engines until it just sounded like a soft purr then it rolled into the pavement and in just seconds it became out of sight.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]"Another day's work again. Well I'd better be going or else." Masashi said putting his helmet on and started his [URL=http://www.granbymotors.co.uk/images/996.jpg]Ducatti 996[/URL]. "It's really nice to ride this baby in this kind of day." [/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]And then, the wheels turned, burning rubber on the concrete road making a screeching sound and white smoke with the smell of foul burning polyester. And as Masashi let go of the brakes, the motorcycle sprinted out for "another day's work".[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]Arriving at "Raven's Flat", STNJ's headquarters, Masashi rolled his two-wheeled devil into the plaque saying to himself "At least they keep it clean.". Sticking the ignition keys out and removing his helmet, he walked straight into the elevator with his security card flying in front of him like he's playing a coin. With the elevator in front of him, he casually slided the security card and entered the no. of the floor he's going and then hopped on. After several minutes, the elevator door opened exposing him into a "busy atmosphere". Walking like he's on the moon, he walked past the conference room then suddenly stopped for a moment and stared at the "big boss' room". He murmered somthing to himself the went to the circular table where he saw three familiar faces already sitting at their posts.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]"Good morning ladies! Hope I didn't interrupt some girly talk in here." He said while taking his seat.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]The three girls just gave him angry stares that would have made Masashi fall off of his seat.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS][/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]"Hey! Don't look at me like that. I'm not tasty for breakfast you know!"[/font]

[Redemption]

Raven looked at Masashi lethally and then suddenly started laughing.
" You weren't interrupting at all Masashi. We were just talking about the next mission. Supposably the boss is giving it to us today," Raven replied. As she said that, their boss, Alexander, walked into the computer room.
" Everyone, to the conference room."

OOC: Sorry its so shot. I'll make it longer tomorrow. Sorry again.

[SilverCyclone]

((Sorry it took me so long. Ive been busy.))
Lance rolled off his bed. He thudded to the floor, landing on a few discarded boxes. His place was a mess, and he liked it that way. He rolled over with a grumble, pulling the blanket closer. His eyes caught the red numbers of his clock.
"Oh sh**..." He mumbled softly.
Dragging himself up, he kicked aside a few boxes, grabbing the jeans that lay under them. He rummaged around, grabbing random articles of clothing. He dunked his head in a bucket of cold water. He just happened to have one lying around, thats how messy his apartment was. Walking out the door, he walked to work. He never used a car, prefering the fresh air to anything else. He broke into a run.
"Man, Alex's gonna kill me. Im never THIS late."
He slammed into the door at Raven's Flat. Gripping his head, he opened the door, cursing the sign that said "pull". He trotted over to the conference room, catching sight of the door closing. He sped up, slamming his foot through it in time. The others had bemused smiles on their faces as he entered.
"Sorry i'm late sir, I...had car trouble."
"You walk here Lance."
"Attacked by a dog?"
"Not working."
"Is there any excuse I can give you that you'll buy?"
"Doubtful."
Lance sat down, chuckling slightly.
"Do you ever wear clean clothes?"
He looked at Raven.
"Ah, my sweet Raven. How does the morn greet you?"
She smiled, knowing he was toying with her. Lance immediately turned his attention to Terra.

[Redemption]

Raven laughed again before silenced by a look from Alexander.
" Shall we get on with business?" he asked, getting rather frustrated at his group of reliable hunters.
" You may," Raven answered for the group.
" Alright, our next target is Hisuki Yamata. He's been causing some disturbance lately by using his crushing powers against the authorities. He has caused an enormous amount of damage and risks revealing powers of the Craft to the public. We must hunt him down immediately. All of your mobiles have received information on his address and his daily activities. This hunt is now the most important hunt of all. Get to work."
With that, the group of hunters rose from their seats and exited the room.

________________________________
2 hours later....
Raven was leaning against a wall, waiting for Hisuki to leave his house. The others were at various points around the neighbourhood, watching his every move.
" We have to catch him when he's alone," Raven said into a microphone that was clipped onto the collar of her trench-coat. It was linked to all the other's hearing devices and micrphones so they could communate with each other. Raven watched Hisuki leave his house with a companion of his and walk down the street. Terra joined Raven at her side.
" He just left with a friend, watch him. Wait until he is alone. Then we start." Terra nodded and both of them walked down the street, after Hisuki and his friend.

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Terra moved against the wall, with Raven alongside her. They were following the pair closely. They whispered things into their small microphones to let the others know what was happening. Terra patted her pockets quietly and brought out a pair of small binoculars. She put them against her eyes and looked at the two people they were currently following.

"I think the companion's leaving." Terra whispered.

And as she had predicted, the friend parted ways with Hisuki and he was left to walk alone.

"Go now." Raven said into the microphones. "But be discreet. We don't want him to see us and run." she mentioned.

The others all nodded from where they were and snuck up close to him. Some going ahead to pen him off, and Terra and Raven at the back, so he couldn't run. The others were on the sides, trying to surround him. Then it was time and they started to trap him.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC:[/B] Sorry it's short.

[SilverCyclone]

Lance dashed ahead, still out of sight. He entered the alley ahead. Kneeling down, he felt the ground.
"Perfect..."
He closed his eyes. A tremor shook the ground, getting increasingly stronger. Before Hisuki could run, the ground ripped up in front of him, cutting him off. The others hemmed in from behind. Lance leapt the blockade of earth.
"Box Canyon friend!"
A small tremor shot Lance forward. Performing a smooth flip, he landed next to the others. He raised the earth blockade enough to cut out any hopes of scaling it. Raven glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
"I can fix the street. Dont worry." He muttered to her.

[Redemption]

Raven shook her head at him then turned her attention to Hisuki. She could see his temper was rising and that was the worse thing when it came to hunting.
" What are you people!" he yelled angrily. A car beside Raven was crushed instantly as he missed his target, the Hunters. Raven stepped forward. Terra stood at her left flank and Lance, on her right. Fire, water and earth.
" You've been hurting innocent people with powers given to you. You should not abuse your Craft," Raven said strongly. Another car was crushed instantly but this time on Lance's side. None of them were fazed. Hisuki stepped forward, his pupils dilated from using his Craft. Terra gathered water from the dark clouds above and used it to blast Hisuki back into the uplifted road behind him. Slowly, he got to his feet, more infuriated than ever. Spike stood on the uplifted road and knocked Hisuki about with powerful gusts of wind. Again, Kisuki got to his feet.
[I]Surely he would have run out of energy by now[/I] Raven thought. She stepped forward, her trenchcoat billowing out behind her.
" Who are you people? Are you what they call....Hunters?" Hisuki asked forcefully. He sent a crushing force at Raven but nothing happened to her. Her mother's pendant glowed a blood red before fading. Raven's eye narrowed.
" Probably." Fire sudden;y appeared on Hisuki's clothing and sent him in a rampage, shooting his power at any Hunter he could see.
" DUCK!" came the command from Spike. Raven didn't know what the others did but she dropped to the ground and from the ground, started another fire on Hisuki's clothes. Suddenly Hisuki dropped to the ground unconscious. Lance had shot him with the Orbo and it had stopped Hisuki's Craft immediately. Raven stood up. Terra came out from a side alley and extinguished the fires on Hisuki. Raven opened her mobile. " Alexander, send them in."
The 'Factory' put Hisuki in a van and drove him to a warehouse where they kept witches until their powers had diminished enough to let them safely back out into the public. Raven turned to Lance.
" If you wou;dn't mind, could you fix the road?"

[Cat]

Spike showed no signs of feeling after this hunt. The only thing that she wanted to do was go to bed. Than it came to her.
Spike: Oh no, I have to go and give Luna some food.
They all truned to her.
Lance: Who is Luna?
Raven: Luna is Spike's little black cat. Spike you can go for a bit.
Spike: Thanks. I'll be back in no time.
Spike left.
Raven smlied: You know what? That little cat is the only thing keeping her happy.
They all smile and left.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCC: I'm sorry it's so short. I could not think of any thing and I hope its ok that she left to give her cat dinner.

[SilverCyclone]

Lance lowered the street. He then kneeled, staring along the crack. After a few tremors, Raven turned to him.
"Is all that really necessary?"
"No, im just doing it to annoy you now. All done."
The street was fixed, not a crack in sight. He patted the ground happily, then got to his feet. He rubbed his stomach.
"Theres a donut store nearby. Im gonna stop by there before returning to the flat. Anyone want something or should I just get a dozen and throw em at you?"
The three Hunters laughed at this. Lance smiled, then jogged off toward the donut store.
"Tell Alex i'll bring him a glazed!"

[Redemption]

Raven smiled at Lance?s retreating back.
? That boy?.I dunno.?
Terra joined Raven by her side. ? Back to headquarters then?? she asked.
? Yeah. This has been very boring,? Raven replied. She really hoped she would test out her Craft to the maximum. She was sick of the witches she hunted after. They were weak and hardly stood a fight against her pyro-kinetic powers. Raven yawned. The group hoped in two black Mercedes and travelled back to headquarters. Half way up the elevator, Raven?s mobile rang. She flipped it open and pressed it to her ear.
? Yes??
? Raven, I want to talk to you as soon as you get back,? Alexander?s voice echoed through the earpiece.
? We?re in the elevator now.?
? Good. It?s about your parents.?
Raven?s eyes narrowed sharply, causing her to use her powers on the wall of the elevator.
? Raven!!? Terra yelled before putting it out with some water she formed in her hand. Terra sighed a breath of relief. Raven closed her phone and apologised to Terra. Her voice was shaky and cold, something very different to her normal warm, friendly voice.
? What?s the matter??
? Parents?? was the only word that escaped her mouth. Terra immediately stopped questioning her. Any mention of Raven?s parents and she would turn nasty. The elevator stopped. The doors opened. Raven swiftly exited and made her way to Alexander?s office. Terra watched her walk away and sighed.

? So?Robin Sena was your mother?? Alexander asked in a very superior tone. Raven?s eyes narrowed again.
? Yes.?
? And your father??
? Amon??
? Interesting?? He played with his pen, twirling around his fingers. He looked up into Raven?s face.
? You look so much like your mother Raven,? he continued. Raven stood there, a feeling of anger seeped into her veins.
? And that has to do with my parents? whereabouts??
? Nothing. I just wanted to make sure.? Anger sparked again. Raven turned to leave when a command was given to her.
? You will report to my house tonight at 7. Understand??
? Yes,? Raven hissed her reply. Another meeting with the damned factory. She walked out of the room and to her desk. She looked at it, then at Terra.
? I?m going for a ride. I?ll be back in an hour. If the others come, don?t let them leave.?

[Cat]

When Spike got back she saw ever one was sad. Spike didn't care. She didn't like carrrying the burdens of others.
Spike: Can I go home?
Terra: No. Raven said that ever one is to stay here untill she gets back.
Spike: Why sould I care?
Terra: Because it about Ravens Parents.
Spike: I still don't see the reason why I sould stay.
Terra: Spike, I know that what happen to your parents was just evil but think how Raven feels. She does not even know where her parents are. Don't you feel sorry for her?
Spike look straight into Terras eyes.
Spike: Fine I will stay but I will not feel sorry for her.
She sad those words so coldly to Tarre that the wind around them got a little strong.
Spike went over to her desk and felt the scar over her eye.

[Redemption]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Raven's long black hair flew out behind her as she raced through the city streets on her motorcycle, weaving through the traffic at phenomenal speed and with no care for her life. She slowed down for a red traffic light. A black car pulled up beside her with Lance in it. He looked at her with a concerned look on his face.
" What are you doing? You're riding your bike without a helmet again. What happened?" he asked kindly but firmly.
" It's none of your business Lance," Raven spat in reply. A cross look spread over Lance's face.
" Yes it is. You are riding without a helmet. If you die, what will I tell everyone, especially Terra?"
This made Raven feel guilty. She knew Terra looked up to her like a sister would. The light changed to green. Raven didn't move. Lance searched her face.
" So. Are you going to come back? Everyone is waiting for you," Lance said.
" Alright." Raven swerved out in front of Lance and they both made their way back to headquarters.

Lance and Raven walked in. Terra, Spike and Masashi sat talking to each other. The conversation abruptly stopped as soon as they saw Lance and Raven. Raven suspected it was about her and her parents but they could say what they wanted. All Raven wanted was to see her mother and father again and go back home to Italy and their manor.
" So, why did you want us to stay here?" Masashi asked curiously. Raven sat down between Terra and Lance.
" Something's wrong. Alexander is calling me to his house tonight. I suspect it is another meeting with the 'Factory' but I'm not sure. All of you be ready to receive an alert sent by me. The situation doesn't feel right."
Spike snorted in disbelief. Raven shook her a cold stare, which was returned.
" I think that's all the hunts we'll be going on today. So its paperwork and investigation from now until home."[/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Terra walked over to Raven and asked if everything was alright.

"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine...." Raven replied quietly.
"Just be careful Raven, You never know what'll happen." Terra replied.

Terra looked at her and then walked off to her office which was next to Raven's. She hated doing her paperwork because there was usually so much of it. It was all about the hunts they'd been on and about people they'd hunted.

Terra fell into her chair and dragged a hand over her face as she looked at the large pile of paperwork in front of her. She yawned and decided that it would be a long night and pulled the first sheet off the top of the pile. She chewed on the top of her pen and filled in the required information. She wrote in a neat cursive and brought the pen to her lips as she looked over what she wrote. She nodded and placed it to the side, starting another pile of completed paperwork, then she reached out and got the next one....[/COLOR]

[SilverCyclone]

Lance walked into his office, staring at the paperwork. He heaved a sigh.
"Man..."
He placed his gun on his desk and picked up a pencil. He always used a pencil, knowing how much Alex hated it. He stared at the papers. He leaned back, cracking his spine. And stared at the papers. He chewed on a donut thoughtfully. He made a mark, then collapsed onto his desk in boredom. He stared at the clock.
"....tick...tock...tick...tock..." He muttered.
Standing up, he made his way to the door. Then back, throwing a few punches in the air. Shaking his head, he sat back down. He began to fill out the papers. He rubbed his eyes. [I]This is gonna take me forever![/I] Leaning back in his chair, he began to see how many times he could bounce his pencil against the wall while singing softly before someone came and told him to shut up and get to work.

[Redemption]

Lance looked up. Raven was leaning against the door, smiling. He stopped singing immediately and blushed scarlet.
" R...Raven, what are you doing here?" he asked, surprised at her sudden appearance.
" Oh just listening to you sing," she replied, walking over to him. Lance looked up from his chair. This was a smile Lance had never seen before on Raven's face. Maybe that of Terra's or Masashi's but never Raven's.
" You were listening to me? For how long?"
" Long enough." Raven lent close to Lance's face, close enough that he could feel her breath caress his face. Suddenly, the smell of smoke snapped Lance out of his dream. He felt a searing heat on his shirt. Raven withdrew as Lance jumped up, took off his shirt and stamped out the fire. He turned to Raven who was at the door now. She was laughing hysterically.
" You little...." Lance started.
" You little what?" Raven enquired, teasing him. Lance growled. Raven laughed and exited the room.
______________________________

Some time later....

Raven stood in an abandoned underground tunnel. Candles lined both sides of her and some way down from her. She sighed, sounding bored. With one sweep of her head, all the candles were lit.
" This is so boring...."
A sudden beeping caught her attention. Raven took her mobile from out of her pocket, flipped it open and pressed it to her ear.
" Yes?"
" Raven, headquarters now."
" Terra, what's wrong?"
" Just, get here now." Raven flipped it shut and sprinted down the tunnel. In a few minutes, Raven was back at headquarters. Torn paper was everywhere. Cracks were in the concrete walls. Lance and Masashi stood near the window, inspecting the damage to the building.
" What happened?" Raven asked Terra who had just walked over to her.
" Spike was captured."
" By who?"
" We don't know."
Raven scanned the floor. Something caught her interest. A bullet with inscriptions carved into it gleamed on the floor. Raven scooped it up and looked at it. Lance and Masashi joined her and Terra. Masashi looked at the bullet Raven was holding.
" Witch hunting bullet....who would have these?"
Raven looked up. A wild, uncontrolled look appeared in her eyes.
" I don't know but we're going to find out. Hang on Spike, we're coming."

[SilverCyclone]

Lance got off his knees. He had been poking around the window for awhile. He held up a scrap of clothing.
"All I could find. Piece of a coat or something."
Raven stared at it for awhile.
"Not much to go on..."
A small tremor shook the building. Everyone stared at Lance.
"Sorry! I...lost control. I..."
He slumped forward. The tremor died down.
"Keep a grip Lance. We'll find her."
Lance nodded.
He went into his office and pulled on his trenchcoat, holstering not only his Orbo gun, but a silver revolver. He had never used it, never needed to. Until now. He loaded it with six bullets, then twirled the chamber shut.
"Lets find our friend."

[Cat]

[size=2]Occ: I'll use ( ) for when she is thinking.

Spike didn't know where she was but she did know that she was chained to a chair.

Spike: (Where am I? What Do I do?)

She look around and found nothing but boxs.

Spike: (I Wonder if the others are looking for me? I don't think so. I really was not that friendly. Oh Well.)

She was for the first time in a long time she was scared.

Spike: (If the others are looking for me then I hope they find me fast.)

With that she begain to cry. She had not cried for the longist time.

[/size]

[Redemption]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Raven looked around. No other clues could been seen immediately. Suddenly, a thought struck her. She turned to the group.
" Was Alexander here when this happened?"
Lance and Masashi looked at each other.
" Well, no, now you mentioned it. He left about 10 minutes before this happened," Masashi replied.
" Why do you ask?" Terra enquired.
" I dunno. Something doesn't feel right. We have no leads to go on whatsoever. Maybe its time...." Raven trailed off, looking out of the window.
" Time for what?" Masashi asked. She turned to them, fire dancing in her eyes.
" Time to unleash it." The group stared at each other. Raven made her way to the elevator. The group hurried after her. In a few minutes, they were downstairs, behind the building. All except Raven looked confused.
" What are you trying to do?" Lance asked, stepping closer to her. Raven knelt down to the ground and drew the Craft circle.
" Its time I showed you some of my mother's abilities."

Raven stood up, looking down at the circle. Her eyes narrowed. A fire started in the centre of the circle. She started chanting in an unknown language. A figure arose from the flames in the shape of a bird. Opening her eyes, Raven looked the bird in the eyes.
" Spirit of the flame, find our companion and lead us to her..." she said in a voice unlike her own. The bird wheeled up into the sky, unleashing a piercing cry. Lance stood there shocked. Terra stepped forward to Raven who was as still as stone.
" Are you alright?" Terra asked her friend.
" I'm fine..." The voice was cold and icy. " Follow that bird. He will take you to Spike." It appeared that the words came from Raven's mouth but didn't sound like her talking. Masashi looked deadly serious.
" Terra, Lance, lets go. I think Raven has her own personal agenda for the moment." Lance joined Masashi at his side. Terra couldn't decide whether to stay with Raven or go with Masashi.
" Go Terra. You need to find Spike before anything happens to her."
" Alright."
Terra walked slowly to join Lance and Masashi. They made their way to the front of the building. Raven turned around slowly, her eyes jet black.
" Lets see what this meeting is about." She headed to her motorcycle, the sky darkening at her back.
