A wander's true self.

[Shiori]

All the people,towns and even the sky seemed so noisy today. Traveling was just a pain...no kind of peace or happiness. This small brown and black kitten was simply walking though the busy streets or Marseine. It small but bright golden eyes looking at everything and everyone it passed. IT could smell all kinds of things like food, perfume and just nasty body odor. IT made the little kitten think for a moment. Why were people so weird? So worried about things that they could not control. IT be easier to just live life worry free but somehow most humans cant.

With a sigh this kitten began to glow lightly before changing into a slender human woman. It was no other than Shiori blending in with the crowd as a kitten. Yet now that she was her normal self again she wanted to just find something to so instead of eating fish. Beinga kitten was fun and all but after a while she just has to change forms...it was a life of a shapeshifter.

"Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie" Finn was saying. "A young man acting like a child, you should be ashamed of yourself" the vendor said. "I'm six years young" Finn replied while holding up eight fingers. Math wasn't Finn's forte. "If you're six, I'm The Emperor" the vendor said. ".......emperor of what?" Finn asked. "You know, The Emperor" the vendor said. "Of what?" Finn asked. "Ugh. *face palm* Just go away if you're not buying anything" the vendor said. "I want all the candy" Finn said. "And I want your money" the vendor replied. Finn rummaged through his, mostly empty, pockets. "How about this?" Finn said as he held out his palm towards the vendor. The vendor frowned. "You realize you're holding a marble." "Yea!" Finn replied enthusiastically. "Okay. I'm getting as far away from you as possible" the vendor said, as he started packing up his wares. "You're just a Mr.McStinky Pants!" Finn said, before throwing the marble at the vendor's face. Finn then ran away laughing. "Ow!" the vendor shouted. "Well at least......" the vendor paused upon noticing that a bunch of the candy was suddenly missing. The vendor shook his fist in Finn's direction.

After wandering around for some time Finn came upon a circus. The sight of it made him stop dead in his tracks. Finn looked at his reflection in the window of a nearby building. But he didn't recognize it as his own reflection. It was Lucian looking back at him. A brief moment of co-consciousness between the two personalities. "Mind If I take over for a bit, Finn? There's just something about that Circus. I don't know what it is exactly, a feeling...I guess? I just want to go inside" Lucian said. Finn took a step back. "No" Finn said in a low and vulnerable voice. With his mind Finn shattered the window, and then he ran away from the circus. Accidentally dropping a trail of various candies behind him.

Finn would wind up on a crowded street somewhere else in Marseine. At which time he took a moment to actually enjoy one of the candies he had taken. "ooooo, a kitty cat" Finn said upon spotting one in the crowd. He had started to make his way towards the feline but got intercepted. It was the vendor again, though he now had a member of the government's militia with him. "This is the douchebag who stole my supply. What nerve, he still carrying some of it around like some trophy" the vendor said. "That's a bad word" Finn replied. He would then slap the vendor across the face.....with a lollypop. The vendor went to choke Finn but the militia separated the two. "That's enough. No unauthorized stealing/violence are allowed by the government, especially here in Marseine. You're both coming with me" the militia said. "What!? But I'm the victim here" the vendor protested. "That sounds booooooooring. See ya later" Finn replied. The militia would have his hands full trying to keep Finn from getting away while arguing with the vendor. Until the cat changed into a young woman.

It definitely got the militia's attention. Anyone, when first encountered, with any sort of power was to be considered a potential reborn that needed to be either put under the government's thumb or gotten rid of. Finn gasped. "The kitty cat is really a super duper cat lady!" Finn said with wide eyes, child-like wonder, and excitement. The militia would push both the vendor and Finn aside, the two of them having dropped down on his list of priorities like stones in water. The militia would now start heading straight for Shiori.

[Shiori]

Shiori notices the odd group of people now staring at her. "...Oh looky people are coming to see me? Wonder what they want from me? " She didnt know anything about the Militia or their laws. But the boy behind them was who she was truly interested in. He was weird that much she knew. Wasnt he a bit big to be acting like that. As the militia grew closer she just sat there with a huge smile on her face. "...HEY! You need helps with somethings ? " She asked kindly even though she had no clue of the danger she was in.

[Amaar]

Amaar was skulking in the back streets of Marseine hoping to hear some whispers of Pirate Activity His last encounter with Oujou went exactly how he had hopped, The General had entrusted him with a task. Obviously disregarding the task entirely and letting the boy live Amaar simply wanted the general to trust him, so far it was working. Just then he heard commotion on the streets he peered his head out from the back alley. Slowly the situation came to focus it was a Reborn. Two perhaps, he needed to get them out of there. Without another moments hesitation he stepped forth from the alleyway ripping through the crowd and headed straight for a Militia man. Amaar speared the guard right into a fruit stand pounding his Titanium plated gloves into the guards face he shoved the guard against the wall quickly turning around to see another one.
"Kid!" he pointed at Finn. "You need to get out of here now! I'll meet you outside the city, Go now! Take the cat lady with you."

While he was distracted Amaar took a rather hefty blow to the side of the head by a guard stumbling him a bit, he lowered his hood and spat blood to the ground.
"Oh you're a big boy, come then. Let's see what you got" he chuckled some.

[Cory]

The militia would never get the chance to respond to Shiori's question, due to being abruptly and awesomely speared by Amaar.

"Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, LOOOOOOOOOK at that!" Finn said while tugging on the vendor's sleeve. "WHAT!!!" the vendor shouted annoyed. "Did you see that! He went all wrestler on the coppers and saved the supper dupper cat lady!" Finn said. "What in the world is he talking about?" the vendor wondered. Finn would grin with glee after hearing what Amaar said to him. "This is so cool! He just made me a sidekick and made it up to me to take cat lady to safety!! so cool, so cool so cool!" Finn said. Then Finn turned to the vendor and said, with a salute, "bye now." Finn would have rushed off to Shiori at that point, if not for the vendor grabbing Finn's arm. "If I cant get justice through the militia, I'll just have to get it myself. You're going to give me back whats left of the merchandise you stole, then you're going to work off the merchandise you already stuffed your face with, and then I'm delivering you to the prison's front door myself" the vendor said. "ow, ow, that hurts" Finn said in a sad tone, about the vendor's grip on his arm. Finn looked down at the bunch of candy he was still holding. "My candy!" Finn shouted. "Act your age damn it!" the vendor shouted in return. The vendor started pulling Finn away.

[Shiori]

Shiori sighed seeing the vendor drag Finn away. "Let him goo..It's just candy...not..Gold. " She said as she rushed to Finn's aid. It not like she cared about him or anything but she didnt like the vendor much. Once she reached him she blocked his path. "..Let the weird boy go. You can just sell more candy to other people. Why are people so stupid about such little things.

She looked at Finn then back to the Vendor and turned herself into a Giant white tiger to scare him off. She roared viciously at him hoping he understood she wasnt joking around.

[Cory]

Finn had stars in his eyes when Shiori approached. It was like when someone meets someone famous. Though technically Shiori wasn't famous whatsoever, except as some fictional super hero that Finn had thought up on the spot and would probly forget soon. But still that's the kind of look he had on his face when Shiori took a position between him and the vendor. And yes, just like that Finn had already completely forgotten about the whole being made a sidekick thing in order to get Shiori away from the militia.

"Frankly it's none of your bizness girly. And second of all, if it weren't for you being here, the militia would have already taken care of this matter for me" the vendor told off Shiori. "I'm not weird, that's what you are but what am I" Finn said randomly while the vendor had been talking. Then Shiori turned into a giant white tiger.

Most of the crowd of citizens in the area immediately made themselves scarce. As for the vendor, he peed his pants, let go of Finn, and ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could, while waving his arms around and screaming like a little girl.

"That looks like fun, let me try" Finn said. He tried and obvious failed to turn into anything. "Oh well" Finn started eating candy. "Want some. you can take one if you want, but only one" Finn offered while his mouth was full.

[Shiori]

The young women changed back into her human form and sighed. " Uhh no thanks...Me dont like candy. It taste weird. Ummm...soooooo you wanna go now?" She asked him softly. He was so weird she didnt know what to do wiith him but somehow she knew something was special about him. Scratching her head she looked around, everyone was gone now. "...Opps..guess i scared everyone else to...oh well not my probem anymore." To her people were just pest to be ignored. Besides in her mind she wasnt human just a special spririt who could change form at will.

[Amaar]

Standing above two unconscious guards Amaar looked towards Finn and Shiori shaking his head. "Kids, we really should be leaving the city now." he looked around noticing everyone had taken off, no doubt the militia's backup would arrive soon and Amaar wanted to keep his reputation with Oujou. He held out his hand towards the two and motioned for them to come with him. "Time is not out friend, more militia will be here soon."

[Cory]

"It doesn't taste weird, somebody must'a gave you bad candy" Finn told Shiori, before abruptly throwing all the candy into the air. Finn laughed as it briefly rained candy around them. Finn noted how both Amaar and Shiori didn't want to be here, he simply thought they had become bored. "I know let's play tag!. You two have to catch me because I'm it!" Finn ran off without consulting either of them much further. He wasn't running to any particular place, just to find somewhere to hide. He had no idea which direction was in or out of Marseine, nor did that matter much to him. Which would be unfortunate for Amaar and Shiori since Finn had wound up starting to run deeper into the city.

Which is why he encountered three more militia. "Hey you, wanna play tag with us?" Finn stopped and asked the militia. The militia glanced at Finn and then over towards Shiori and Amaar. They were the backup that Amaar had expected. How did they get here so fast? The people that had fled, had fled to the militia. The populous of Marseine was so in fear of and oppressed by the government that it resulted in the people being ironically quite loyal to the government. The people that had fled the scene earlier couldn't tell the militia fast enough about what they had seen.

"Hey isn't the guy working for Oujou now?" one of the militia asked in reference to Amaar. Another of the militia looked towards Shiori. "Yes but it seems that he's actually helping the reborn behind Oujou's back. We must report this" another of the militia said. The third militia looked at Finn and said, "wait a minute, isn't he the man that captain Wesker is after?" One of the militia started walking torwards Shiori and Amaar, while the second started running to go get Oujou, and the third sprinted after Finn. "Ha, ha, you can't catch me!!" Finn said thinking this was just all apart of his game of tag.

[Shiori]

Shiori sighed deeply and shook her head. ".........Why do human act so silly. I still dont know what this Reborn is? " She began to follow after Finn hoping he start explaining some things. Then again stealling his candy might do the trick but then what would she do with it all.

[Cory]

One of the militia took a good long glance at Amaar, and then started running towards one of the exits of the city of Marseine. Why? So that he could get to Oujou and tell the general all about Amaar's actions and apparent betrayal.

Meanwhile. Shiori wouldn't make it to Finn, because one of the militia would confront her. This militia would, with a few hand gestures, cause walls of earth to erupt out of the ground, surrounding the two of them as if they were suddenly in a small room with no ceiling. The militia then unsheathed his blade and pointed it at Shiori's throat. "Join the government or prepare to die" the militia threatened her.

Meanwhile. Finn, already completely distracted by the game of tag he thought he was playing, had started running farther and farther away from Amaar and Shiori's position. Into a seemingly labyrinthine stretch of alleyways. The third (and last of this particular group of) militia was hot on Finn's heels. "you can't catch me. You stink at this, hahaha" Finn teased the militia as he turned one corner after another. Until the militia decided to jump over one of the alleyway walls, landing directly infront of his target. Finn stopped abruptly. "Hey thats cheating!" Finn shouted and pointed. The militia would grab Finn by the throat and start to squeeze.

[Shiori]

Shiori gave them all odd looks."............Why should I get involved ..just because you threaten my life??. I don't have to listen to you. I'm not of your rules or teachings. So leave me be or else.....I'll do something i'll highly regret......Oh wait..no i wont. I care not for your life or others. " She sighed a little bit before backing up a bit. "......But i know you wont care soo....." With that she changed again , this time into a huge black dragon.

[Cory]

The militia that had been on his way to tell Oujou about Amaar, stopped after only getting a few blocks away. Why? The sudden, strong, albeit brief tremor that he felt in the ground. "That came from where I just was. What could be going on?" the militia wondered. He would leap up onto the rooftop of the nearest building. At which point his eyes widened at the sight of a huge black dragon, towering about all the surrounding buildings. "Damn it, Oujou will have to wait. This has to be dealt with" the militia said. He would start to focus his energy, his focused energy serving as a short range beacon to other militia in the city. 10 other militia responded to the call and gathered on the rooftop with him. The group of them didn't need to say anything, the sight of the black dragon made their current assignment obvious.

Meanwhile.
"Or else what" the militia standing before Shiori told her mockingly. Though this militia might as well slapped himself in the face by his own mockery, when Shiori changed into a huge black dragon. Her size alone shattered the walls of earth the militia had erected. And what was left of the earth walls slammed to the ground causing the brief tremor. This militia's eyes widened, the arm with which he had been point his sword at her dropped limply to his side. Afterall his sword might as well of been a toothpick in the presence of the black dragon. "What the f***" the soldier thought out loud. It would take this militia a moment to regain his composure. "You may be thinking that you've won, girly, but have you no idea where you are? This is the city of Marseine, the grand capital of the government, the center of its empire, the scion of law and absolute obedience, the home of the emperor himself!" the militia declared, then he leaped back to get alittle distance from Shiori. "Such illegal and unauthorized displays of reborn power are not tolerated. You wont be leaving this city alive, girly' the militia informed her.

Meanwhile.
The militia's hands tightened around Finn's throat. Finn started to choke and would shed tears as well. Finn was in complete denial of the situation, and naively looked away from it, as if that would mean that maybe it wasnt happening. However when he looked away his gaze found the window of one of the buildings of the alleyway. It was just a normal window, and anyone else would just see their normal relfections as they were. But that wasnt the case for Finn. His relfection wasnt his own, he couldnt find himself in that window at all, he could only see Omega looking back at him. "Kill him" Omega said. Finn's eyes widened. Who was Omega's sentiment directed at, Finn or the militia? "No! Go away!" Finn shouted at that window. The militia thought Finn's words were directed at him, which is what the obvious conclusion would be considering the situation. Then they felt that tremor. "I need to check out whats happening back there, but i don't feel like dragging you around, so its time i end your stupid life" the militia said.
Immediatlely afterward blood would splatter on the window.....

[Shiori]

She roared as loud as she could. In this form a smart person would think twice about fighting her. Of course she was in no mood to fight anymore, if anything all she wanted was she scare them. Though it wasn't working and she knew their was gonna be some bloodshed before they got the message. With a sigh she inhaled then release was blazing stream of black flames at the militia. Theses flames hotter than lava could melt skin right off you bones. If taking a life would help her get back to Finn then so be it. Humans were annoying to begin with. Always thinking their the greatest thing that walked the planet. They were highly wrong but of course not like they wish to hear such things. As she continued this little assault she wonder about Finn.
