~That metal sound clanked again. Kyoden stepped through the door into the room. He made a feint growl, seeing that human girl again, and the other two. Kyoden sidestepped out of the doorway. Tenshu stepped in the door next, arms crossed inside the sleeves of the kimono. He noticed there was an unfamiliar male, and one a female. Ziare, was here also. Tenshu had no expression on his face, only these words. "I believe I was called down here. Is this everyone?" His words were not in doubt, only in question. He wasquite patient, but did not want to wait longer than needed.
He stepped to the window and only gazed outside. Kyoden shut the door. Maybe what they were looking for would be what Tenshu was looking for. That mages soul may not be the one to transform Kyoden, but it may be strong enough for something just as good. Kyoden even need not be that involved. It was yet undecided. Tenshu still stood at the window, waiting to leave, if this was everyone.~

"Good you're all here" A voice said from the darkness
From it, a man stepped forth, and it was none other then Kenji Rio, leader of the Tracers. Quietly he moved in the middle of the group, his gaze calm and clear as he stared at each one of them, looking at their spirits as ghostly wails somehow followed him. Behind him was the portal, with it a view of a forest was inside it.
"Now they you're here, your job is to go into the portal and deal with the Fugitives. Kill them, take them back, I really don't care. Just be sure to not attract too much attention, we Tracers already have enough to deal with as it is......"

Talbot crosses her arms, "Kill them? You say you don't want us to attract attention but you say kill them-" she shook her head, "Thats almost as poorly planned as last nights meals."
Reguardless of her protest, she stirred Mikon by whistling softly and looked at Ziare- if anything Talbot would not move without Ziare to come with- she was fun to talk with and the chance at trying elemental boosting was more than enough to convince her to try some teamwork.

Ziare looked at Talbot and knew what her concern was.
"He said we kill or take back." she comforted her friend. "I for one vote for taking them back." she told Talbot and her group.
She looked around to see the others expressions.

~Listening to that man, Tenshu did not interact physically. He felt something searing into his soul. It was that man's gaze. Another spirit-monger, that's who that man was, just a powerful spirit-monger. Tenshu blocked his gaze into his soul with his own spiritual power. Kyoden was a mass of souls and spirits, so it would be very difficult for that man to be staring into the right one. Tenshu sensed some sort of presence that interacted with the kaze-do, the Wind Stance. A martial stance that used the wind and chi, instead of force. The essence was coming from that girl with the nymph on her shoulder. It seemed as if the presence acted like a fortification to his strength.
That man spoke of killing them, but he didn't say how, when, or why. Tenshu did not turn around, but he still spoke, "Your strategies are faulty... You give us almost no background information, you give us none of their limits. You tell us to just go and do it however we want. You need a tactician to plan things and to see if plans will work before you actually do them. Is this how you run your recon here, spur of the moment?" Tenshu had a smile on one side of his face, and could be seen somewhat in the reflection of the window. "To top it off, you say that the 'Tracers' have too much to deal with, yet you're still here." Tenshu chuckled a little. "I'm glad you're not working on our mission." Kyoden laughed in his deep voice.~

"I tell these things for everything else that i didn't mention is not necessary" Kenji spoke, his voice cold and harsh. "Do as your told, or leave, these are your options. As for your tactics, I was getting to that before you guys so rudely interrupted me. What i want you to do is remain hidden from the general public view while you take care of these men, killing or taking them back in any means so long as you do not alert the general public. After that, a small team of Tracers will recover the bodies and return them to the Academy while clearing the scene of the battle.Back to the briefing, the fugitives are currently residing in a camp outside Berlin in the woodlands. You will be entering from the back of the camp, so please don't screw up"
With that, Kenji turned toward the arrogant Spirit mage, looking at him despite his futile efforts to block Renji out. He assumed Kenji here was a run of the mill spirit medium. In all truth though, Renji didn't really care for these people. Sure, he should've planned out things for them, but he felt these newbies needed to prove themselves before he decided to make things easier for them.
"And be quiet" Renji said, his tone of authority high and strict. "Know your position within the Academy, do as you are told and don't speak back to members of the Staff, Tracers or Security, or else you might find someone not so forgiving to slander as I. Now go inside the portal and do as you're ordered; kill these men and we'll handle clean up."

~Tenshu laughed a bit, still blocking out his gaze, "Ah, well, atleast we know you don't want to take the blame for anything you do, spirit-monger. Regardless, I never said I wasn't doing this. Contrary, I was advancing things..." Taking a breath, he turned his head sideways, showing that half of his face that smiled. "But, I like your way of what we do when we're dealing with the enemy." Tenshu turned his head back to the window.
Kyoden walked near the portal, his armor clcanking, and stood next to it. "I go last." Kyoden was a good bodyguard, he knew what he was doing. "I'll still need a few minutes to think about how we'll go upon this. What are we dealing with? Are these simple mages, or are they like the stealth group, from Dresden? Are they Arch Mages? Will we have a place to go back to if we ever need it? Kyoden, I believe a few of your souls are that of Germans. When we get there, I'll do a diving check to see if any of them follow into bodies near by. You remember, it's just like how we found you..."~

(( DAMN ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO CAN RP FOR HOURS ON END!!! DAMN YOU ALL XD )) - I shook both females hands, Ziare and Talbot first. I made sure not to hold to tightly otherwise my metal gauntlets might hurt them. I replied in a simple tone, giving them my full name 'Marshall Elias Donovan'. I gave a polite bow of the head two both girls and remained silent once again. I had my head bowed as I slowly moved my fingers, the golden knuckle joints of the gauntlets grinding softly. I was ready and it seemed the final member(s) of this party had come! - I watched as the boy walked in and instantly spoke down to us. He was not exactly pretty and his demeanor left alot to be desired...so I just gave up on thinking about it. I went back to watching my rolling fingers, the delicate shape of the pointed claws on the end of the fingers, the large stud's on the knuckles...not only were they magically strengthened they were also magically lightened...they weighed as much as a silk glove and packed the punch of a mallet to the face in the freezing cold. My eyes caught a glimmer of movement as a man strode out of the shadows. 'Now we are getting somewhere' I thought to myself. - The orders were simple, they were clean and they were precise...the strategy on the other hand left alot to be desired, but what it lacked allowed for ones imagination to run wild. I was fit, a good climber and fast...these were in the woods I would have fun now. I gave a glare at Tenshu before speaking this arrogant jerk may cause damage to the others...but fortunately for me it was not my concern and that brute was not exactly what I would call a trust worthy member. I walked towards the portal, telling Tenshu to shut the fuck up during the process. I gave a small bow to my superior Kenji Rio and strode towards the portal but not before speaking. I spoke in a fluid yet callous tone, Tenshu had gotten on my nerves with out speaking to me. "Dont fuck up...I dont want to have to carry any one's body back to this place" - I walked through the shimmering portal, it felt warm yet cold at the same time, it was dry and wet it was...I dont know it just was! I a brief pause and wham I was in the cold German woodland, folded arms and a lowered head as I awaited the arrival of the others. I leant against a tree my eyes focused on the spot where I had come out and just waited. I was lucky I was wearing what I was because it was quite chilly out here...My hair draped over my eyes, casting a shadowy appearance over me...I was visualising the fighting the stealth and the victory, the innevitable victory...but I also knew what could happen if there was one slip up...that was all it would take!

Talbot bowed her head slightly to Kenji Rio, not subordination but more of a vague notice of his words, she didn't mind either way- he should have given all the information in one blow rather than give air to talk
Talbot looked at Tenshu , she did not like his airy attitude or his choice of words- and considering Mikon had popped out of her sleeve and had been chittering angrily at the sound of Tenshu 's voice. Talbot held Mikon against her chest until he calmed. She chirped to Mikon and he returned to the pocket in her sleeve.
Talbot sided up next to Tenshu and said softly, "You're an odd one, but just remember we share all is what to come, including information. "
Talbot watched Marshall walk through, looked back at Ziare and winked, "Well c'mon let's get this party underway!"
Nudging Tenshu slightly, a gesture of play rather than aggression, and walked through after Marshall. Suddenly glad for her coat.

Ziare nodded listening intently to the man's mission and his information. He was angry and it was all Tenshu's fault. He had to go and interrogate the teacher. Ziare sighed. She just wanted to get the mission over with and live.
Ziare nodded and laughed when Talbot said they needed to get the party underway. She followed through the portal directly after Talbot leaving only Tenshu and the professor behind. The cold temperatures hit her full forces as she stepped into the snow covered Berlin wilderness. She saw Talbot and Marshall already on the other side. She was glad for her coat and would waste non of her magic on keeping herself warm. All she had to do was wait for the last member to walk through the portal and they could get this mission underway.
She walked over to where Talbot was and stood next to her looking back at the portal waiting. Hopefully Tenshu wouldn't take too long and they could get this mission started.
"How long you think he'll be?" she asked Talbot with a wink. "Could be all day.." she giggled.

Talbot smirked, "Not too long I hope- this isn't the greatest weather even with the trees to help cut the snowfall we're kinda wandering in the dark."
She shrugged and poked at Mikon, she chittered softly to the shivering creature and Mikon took flight into the trees- staying silent as he poked about looking at the area. If anything Mikon could tell them about the landscape and not be noticed- he was small enough to get away with it- if anyone paid any attention is summer coat of brown had changed to pure white.
Be careful. Talbot hoped quietly, then looked at Michell, "Hey, Pretty Boy- you a popsicle yet?"

" I am fine but if you want to get this over with quickly I suggest we make a move as of now! The other fella will catch up...the snow wont cover our tracks and if we stay still too long we may get caught out early" - I pushed off the tree and twirled on my toes. the tail of my jacket swirled around as I got ready to move. I was going no matter what...I was itching to test myself out. I stood still as a small breeze made my hair and jacket sweep out to the left as I awaited to move...this was my mission and I would succeed...or so I hoped. I licked my lips, they were cold and dry. I was about to move before I decided to add more to my little speech...the girls had to make up their own mind! "Girls you can either stay and wait or come now...but as I said it is not safe to stay around here...if they know about the acadamy it is safe to assume that they know about its portals aswell" - As I was about to set off I heard a branch snap in the distance, near a thicket of tree's. I stood still, my eyes focusing towards the darkness where the sound had come from. I closed my fist, focused hard and held the intense energies in that fist if it was an enemy I would kill it, if it wasnt I had made a fool of my self...I was hoping it was the first choice.

Ziare looked at Talbot she really didn't want to loose any of the members and she felt that they needed to stick together as a team it would be for the best.
"Well you ready to go?" she asked Talbot. Marshall was right it wasn't safe to just stand around waiting for something to find you when you could find it and hopefully get the advantage. She still didn't want to kill anything she hoped to be able to take them back and be done with it.

Standing a bit far away from the group, there was a single loan patrol making his way around a small clearing, a rifle in hand as behind him was another guard, a longsword at his waist. They wore all black, had some black glasses on, and from the looks of it, were mages by that odd alchemic circle insignia they wore...
Renegade Sword Thug: Strength: 15 Dexterity: 15 Endurance: 10 Intelligence: 5 Wisdom: 10 Energy: 10 Weapon: One French Long Sword Magical Abilities: Elemental Sword (Turns Blade into element) Wind Arc (Cuts sword in front to produce long shockwave that can cut)
Renegade Gun Thug: Strength: 20 Dexterity: 10 Endurance: 8 Intelligence: 7 Wisdom: 15 Energy:10 Weapon: One M16 with Regular, Magical or Silver Magazines Magical Abilities: Elemental Shot (Infuses Bullet with certain Element) Bouncing Shot (Allows bullets to rikochet)

"That's why I set Mikon to have a look aorund- though it looks like we found two on our own," Talbot said softly- she spoke softly this whole time, loud enough to be heard by those near her but not at the short distance the thugs were.
Talbot sighed softly, looking at Ziare and then at Marshall- no time to wait for the information they could have used. Looking over the two beings Marshall had spotted she shook her head- she was unwillig to cast a spell so soon having spotted the longsword and the gun- long range and short range- wonderful. But it didn't seem that either were ready for an attack only looking about, possibly scouting for food if they hadn't been intelligent enough to bring some. Talbot readied her scythe in any case, she would not be unprepared in this if it came to blows.
"Sneaking around won't do us anygood- I think there's too much underbrush. We should at least keep one alive if the goal is to kill," Talbot said looking at Marshall- to her he looked more agitated than a fox in a bear trap, "We can find out where the rest are if we do. So anyone else up for a game of capture the swordsman?"
