Ienzo laughed, "Yeah, it looks like a very sophisticated gathering." He watched the others leave. "Well it's past midnight, I was in a library all day, I was alone with Nanami, and had a practice match. I think that's enough for a day. See ya, when I see ya," He patted his shoulder as he headed for the door. As soon as he stepped out, the moon was bigger than before, and a gentle breeze danced around the yard. The garden was still beautiful. Ienzo sighed, " Truth is, I don't want to go home yet. I guess I need more time to relax." He went to the garden once more. He remembered what he did and laughed a little. "Heh, Nanami." Then remembered the match and the library. "Yeah,Aelos" Then finally the running to the party. "Wow,Bumi" He laughed a little and just layed down on the side of the fountain where he was sitting previously, with his hand touching the water and his eyes gazing at the mystical contellations.

Nanami got up and walked out of the room. When she got to the front she asked one of the men to get her ride.( AKI ) She waited for about 5 minutes when Aki came with the man. " Aki, good boy. " Nanami giggled as she walked down the steps, lifting her dress. When she hit the bottom she asked the time. The man replied saying it was almost 12:00. At this point Nanami freaked she was to held up in the party that she forgot about Allen. " Oh, No" And with that Nanami grabbed Aki's neck and jumped on. She kicked Aki and he shot in the air, then flew off to the house. " Oh, man Aunty is going to be pissed." Nanami thought. When she got home, she put AKi up in the barn and tip toed into the house. She looked and saw her Aunt sleeping on the couch. " Oh, good." Nanami thought, she turned around and saw Allen. " God!" Nanami squeaked. Allen was quick to cover her mouth. They walked up stairs and Allen stood outside the door as Nanami changed. She opened the door to let him in. They ended up sleeping with in 20 minutes.

The two bolted away. It was as if the Equalists were trying to hit them with mortar rounds or something.

"Running?... Really? Why are playing this game?"

He began after them with a couple other members. Kogari and two of his personal guards pursued them. He jumped over some boxes.... Passed a couple old guys playing cards... Knocked over a guys cabbage stand. It was the run-of-the-mill chase scene. Why does everybody run?

That was when they finally got out into the open. Okay, now just to locate where they- HOLY HELL! His feet firmly planted into the ground as a gust of flames appeared above them. One of them, Styx, turned towards Kogari and questioned if they should leave.

"We search for them. At least until first responders." While Aelos was making an effort to remain hidden, his signal had alerted more than patrols to where they were, so it was a matter of time. They kept looking, nothing. Stryx saw them. He didn't know it yet, but he did. Their images were blurred, hard to make out.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING OUT HERE?" Styx froze in place for a moment.

"You guys shouldn't be out here, we are still....umm.. renovating." This is when Styx's freeze was broke. Kogari's voice did it.

"You guys got here quite quickly." The other Equalist began bolting towards the two from behind. One turned once he heard the attacker. It was a late response. Three glass needles had already been sent. This first of them was too early, only arriving to smash into the officer's armor. The others though, drove into into his throat. He only felt a pinch of pain, then nothing. His body was numbed. He tried moving, but he was so sluggish.

As for his partner, he was too busy dealing with Styx and Kogari. One of his metal wires whipped towards Styx. The Equalist ducked the first, then the second. He was caught at his ankle. The officer then turned to see an advancing Kogari.

He shot out his other wire. Kogari jumped into the air, gripping the wire and wrapping it around his hand. He came down on top of the officer's line. The shock jerked the man down, smashing his face onto the ground. After freeing up himself and Styx, he ripped the man's helmet off. The energy flowed out. Kogari felt his muscles twitch as the process took place.

"Let's go." Styx asked about the other officer. "Leave him."

[Siri]

Siri had to leave. She knew it was late. So Nanami's suggestion was well received. What had brought her here was the same thing that would get her out. She moved out of the building, climbing into a car and was driven home.

Once inside she sat, now having washed off all the make up. Her hair no longer had the awkward colorings of before. She drank her shake, looking and the weight. It sat on her table. She stared at the globe shaped thing. "Purity of earth.. Hmmph.."

The drink was finished, and Siri prepped and went to bed. As for the party. As Bumi left the entrance Kogo ran up to him. He had to finished his business before going home. He thrusted the folder into Bumi's hands. "Sign that, bring it to my office tomorrow. Info's inside."

Then he left. He wouldn't have seemed to enthusiastic. It was simply because he was still awake.

[valkoordb]

As Bumi recieved a pact of info while leaving te part, (shortly after Nanami) he groaned. However the man was gone before Bumi could respond. So he just wandered around for a while. It was pretty late, he had to teach tomorrow, he had to look through this stinking packet, and he still had to find a place to sleep for the night. Bumi opened his glider and flew for a little while. He stopped and went into the jasmine dragon tea shop.

When he got there he was yelled at four about an hour for not showing up for work two days in a row. So Bumi apologised and opted to take tonights night shift to avoid being fired. So he spent his night sweeping and brewing small batches of tea for vagabonds who had drunk too much. Needless to say it was a boring night. Untill he looked outside twoards the bay. He saw two officers get taken out by equalist.

Bumi chugged some of the Jasmine tea he had just brewed, then he walked out side. He was about to take the three out, untill he saw Kogari. Even with his knowledge of chiblockers and his bending skill he couldn't risk fighting that man. He... he could take away Bumi's bending if something went wrong. Bumi gave a shudder as he let them run away. He cursed himself for his cowrdice and sat down.

They were running when Aelos suddenly reaches back and grabs Nira's hand and tells her to stay close. Effortlessly she increases her pace so they can move faster. After running several more blocks, she manage to find a idea to escape, but it seems Aelos has also taken care of that because she is scooped up into his arms and told to trust him. Strangely she feels that she actually can, so she doesn't struggle.

When he turns the next corner, she automatically understands his plan. Equalist try and block the way, but he just airbends over them. As soon as Aelos's feet leave the ground she felt...amazed. The feeling of being over everything was wonderful and mystifying all at the same time and then they started to drop.

Once they hit the water, he released Nira and then swam off, beckoning her to follow. Nira was silently followed him through the water when he suddenly decided to surface. Swimming upward, she surfaced next to him and looked around. The coast was clear. Quickly they pulled themselves out of the Bay and sat there for a second, catching their breath.

Next thing she knows the sound of the metal-benders airship appears. Both their heads snap toward the noise and they watch from a distance as metal-benders propel down. Something that looks like a fight happens and then silence. Seconds later more metal-benders propel down and come back up with two bodies. Shivering slightly, Nira proceeded to stand and turn to Aelos. "You ready to go back to the academy? or could we use some more adventure?" She joked lightly.

[TheDoctor]

Aelos smirked grimly. "Yeah, let's go." He stood up, wiped the dirt off of him, and then began to walk back to the academy with Nira. As he did so, he glanced back at the boardwalk, watching the police swarm over the area where he had released his flare.

Kogari...the man of mystery...And I just came face-to-face with him... He felt a curious longing to meet the man again, an unknown desire to speak with him again...possibly even duel him. No, that's completely ludicrous. Kogari is not to be messed with. He could take away my bending, and that isn't anything to joke about.

When they finally got back to the academy, Aelos felt exhaustion hit him. Once inside, he turned to Nira, stretching his back. "Well, that was quite the adventure." He grinned at her, putting a hand on her upper arm. "I'm completely wiped out, so I'll see you around, alright?" Giving her arm a gentle squeeze, he turned to go down the boys hall.

When he reached his room, he instantly took off his white tunic and fell down onto his bed shirtless. His eyelids were about to fall for the rest of the night, but with a groan he remembered that he still had to do his nightly exercises. Damn it all...

Rolling off of the bed and onto the floor, he did push ups, crunches, leg lifts, squats, and an assortment of other exercises to build his muscle. When he had finished with those, he stretched all of his muscles. A half hour later, he finally stood up, collapsed on his bed, and allowed sleep to take him.

[MaskofSilence]

After saying farewell to Aelos, Nira walked off toward the stables. Sure, she was tired and all she wanted to do was sleep, but she also had to make sure that Aro got in okay. Arriving a couple minutes later, Nira walked into the dimly lite stables. Seconds later a familiar call rang throughout the stable. A smile made it's way on to her face. Forgetting how tired she was, she ran to Aro's stall. Pressing her forehead against his, she felt relief flood though her.

“I'm so glad your okay.” She whispered happily. Pulling away slightly, she started to tell Aro about the Equalist that Aelos and her had run into. She felt her face started to heat up as she remembered Aelos's touch on her arm. Shaking her head a little; Nira focused back in the moment. For a second she watched Aro, he seemed almost as tired as her. “Well Aro.” she started with a soft smile. “I'm going to get some sleep. You should too. See you tomorrow boy.”

Silently she walked back to her dorm. Once inside she took a quick, warm shower, changed into her pajamas and fell into bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out.
