The Grand Hall

Rose saw the shadow go through a door she was about to enter then she saw where she was, the black flame castle and she heard footsteps move towards her she hid in the bushes as the door opened.

Liam walked through the door and looked around. "Come out, come out whoever you are?" he teased.

Aoi's hooded figure clung to his arm, terrified. She had cloaked herself in mist again so she looked like a mere white puff of smoke attached to a boy's arm.

Rose carefully drew her dagger but as soon as she did that Liam saw her.

"Ah ha" he smiled "Aoi, you can deal with her"

"Please, Liam, I do espionage, not fighting!" replied the white puff of mist, scared. "All I can do right now is restrain her with clouds!"
Clouds appeared around Rose, blocking her from escape on all sides. "I'm afraid anything else you want to do to her, you will have to do, for I am onyl capable of high defence and restraint attacks..." Aoi told Liam. "Th... though, I'm always willing to back you up..."
A sultry shadow sat at the door. It was the wolf that had followed her, the white one with two tails. It watched with silent fascination.

Rose struggled against her bonds but to no avail.

"You need to fight if you want to stay in the black flame" Liam warned Aoi, "If you can't just take her to the dungeons, I need to go back to training"

Aoi nodded from within the mist. "I will train harder, Liam." she dipped her head in respect of her elder. She used the clouds to drag rose away to the dungeons.
The dog at the door fled.

Liam sat down on one the high backed chairs in the grand hall - waiting for the others.

Kyra entered, and walked to a chair, siting down calmly.

"So, what's your plan?" Liam asked Kyra carmly.

Aoi entered and sat down next to Liam, as usual.
A two-tailed white dog slipped back through the door, the one that had followed Rose earlier. It sat quietly under the table, curious at the goings on.

Kyra leaned across the table.
"I remember last year, before the explosion. I used to watch alot of Star Trek" She paused, "And one thing I miss is the exploasions. Not Nuclear ones, ones with fire"

Liam laughed, cold and pityless. "Where exactly?" he smiled.

"What needs destroying?" Kyra commented slyly, "What do you want to destroy?"

"White Flame? Government, you know just as a warning" Liam smiled.

The mist cleared away from Aoi and she put her hood down. There was a surprising glimmer of hatred in her eyes.
"The laboratory. The one on the mountain. If you can't think of anywhere else... that would be a good place to begin." she muttered.

"Then we will blow up the laboratory" Kyra nodded, "Now we have to work out how we get the exploasives there" She leaned back on her chair, adding things up in her mind.

Liam looked at Kyra, "Actually that would be a good place for us to take over" he smiled.

"Which is why we won't masivly expload it, just scare them" Kyra added
(brb, Sunlit has to do chores)

Aoi looked down at the floor. That's where my parents were killed by the government. I hate the other two teams for that. she thought, fiddling with the edge of her hood.

"Yes" Liam smiled. "And what about the prisoner, what are we gonna do with her?"

"She might have interesting information about her own team. When we get back, maybe we can get some answers out of her?" Aoi suggested, still quiet.

"I wonder if she'll know anything about the lab. Well one of us should stand guard over her. Liam replied then smiled "Or we can take her with us."

Aoi's eyes suddenly widened.
"Liam! Someone's coming! I've picked up someone's presence rapidly approaching the castle!"

Liam stood up sharply. "Come let's go outside and keep watch" and he moved towards the door.
