”Looking for someone?” the figure beside her asked, throwing the pocket watch they had up and catching it as it came down. They seemed quite apathetic towards Jade though they seemed quite chilled.

Jade nodded yes but didn't know what she should say besides "Your not gonna kill me are you. If so Asra would be pretty mad that I died" her chuckles failed to make the dark thoughts leave her alone

The two foxes nodded and started towards the exit. Since the hospital was relatively large, there wasn’t only one exit. As they left the building, the mist distorted the view around a little but everything around them were still quite clear to piece together. They then started to lead Hinata towards the Research Building where the young girl was…
”Why are you here…?” an echoey voice asked Hinata from… inside her head?

Hinata walked behind both of the foxes, stroll leisurely. She tilted her head a bit when she heard the voice, the only outward sign. It wasn't very weird for her to hear the voices of others in her head, but she didn't recognize this one.
I dunno, ask that Cronos dude who forced me through the portal.

Adara eyed all three places. Now that the fight was over, she was going to continue to look for the portal… however long it took. "Um… the Celestial Hall," she said, falling in step next to him.

The figure smiled a bit in almost a threatening way. They then jumped up, pulling Jade’s body by her neck along with them. They stood on the edge on the maze’s wall before spinning around, ultimately causing a dizzying effect on Jade. They then released the strings, throwing Jade across the maze. Upon landing, she would find herself in a black and white hall with a carpeted floor.

The voice inside her head legitimately sighed.
”Well… what’s to be expected…” the voice seemed disapproving.
Upon arriving at the Research Building, the foxes opened the doors with the card they had on them and as soon as the door opened, a female figurine ran towards the group, pushed the foxes aside and jumped, hugging Hinata with their entire body.
”Helloooooooooo~~~~!!!” Serena had ‘greeted’ her guest.

Matthew nodded as he started towards the building. At one point during the walk, he turned to Adara.
”Just curious here, have you met anyone from the Labyrinth before?”

She shrugged. "Not really. I mean, I met a weird ice guy who shoved me into the portal that led here, but other than that, no."

Hinata had gotten to the point in her life that she didn't much care for what others thought about how she handled situations, so she basically ignored the voice. She stumbled back a few steps when Serena practically tackled her, grinning widely.
"Hey!! It's good to see you!" She actually giggled, which was something most people never heard.

The figure did not seem to care for what Kye said to them. They continued what they were doing; saying some sort of ancient prayer.
As Aisen got closer, he grasp his shirt tightly where his heart was and was making an unpleasant expression. Soon after, he fell on his knees, gasping for air.

(Continue towards the figure?)
(Check on Aisen?)

Kye heard and half saw Aisen go down, and stopped. He turned to look at the Knight. A sense of worry coming over him. "Hey are you alright?" he asked going back over to Aisen. He looked at the figure again, suspicion tugging at the back of his mind. A purple sphere surrounded Aisen again and moved him back away from the figure. "Excuse me, Sir," Kye called, sounding a bit more like he was angry. "Please stop what you are doing and talk to me."

”Huh, was he a bit… cold? No pun intended” Matthew asked. He was fidgeting with a coin he had on him; throwing in up and as it landed was thrown from hand to hand.

(Since I kinda need more ships in my life—)

”It’s great to see you too!” the girl said with a smile.
A person in a scientist coat and a metallic crow mask walked up behind Serena and grabbed her by her arms, picking her up from Hinata and placing down.
”Greetings Mrs. Hinata” Chris, the scarecrow scientist, greeted with a small wave as Serena crossed her arms and pouted.
The girl leaned a bit closer to Hinata.
”Hey Hinata, is… Tatsuo here today?” she asked, face turning slightly red.

The person kneeling did not seem to listen and just continued with the prayer.
Aisen, who was in the bubble, started to cough out blood as the prayer went on. He covered his ears, trying to not listen to the prayer that was being preformed.

(So let me get this straight—)
(Adara’s taking a tour)
(Hinata’s meeting up with old friends)
(Jade’s being thrown around like a tennis ball)
(And Kye’s meeting people who wants to kill him and everyone near him, sounds normal to me)

(Wonderfulness and I hope you're okay with what Kye is about to do.)
Seeing that Aisen was not doing good and that it seemed to be caused by what this figure was doing, Kye started formulating a plan. He pulled his dagger out again, as well as that small bag of powder, and a glove that was made of an odd material. He tossed the bag next to the figure without getting to close, took a few steps back and pulled the glove on. Then he took the dagger and slashed it across the palm of the hand in the glove. It sparked and the blade caught fire, then he threw it at the bag of powder catching the bag pinning it to the ground and a moment later causing a mild explosion around the figure.

(Oh anything’s fine until I say it’s not :P)

When the explosion happened, the figure was covered in smoke. When the smoke cleared, the figure who was supposed to be blown away did not move… a single inch. There were explosion burns but the prayer did not stop.
Aisen was struggling, now experiencing some shortness of breath. The prayer seemed to only affect the locals of the Labyrinth; the Phantoms.

"Well, that was not suppose to happen," Kye sighed, not really surprised but still annoyed. He moved closer, his eyes switching from his dagger which was still in the ground, and the figure. He looked semi bored, or not interested in the situation. He was slightly worried about Aisen, but that worry wasn't really a big priority. What he needed right now was to get this figure's attention.
If you get close to that thing and it attacks you I will not feel sorry for you. BUT, if you die I will be pissed off.
Would you be shocked to know that I actually want to stay alive right now?
………. You're joking….
Nope. I am serious. I have to many things I want to do yet. But I am bored of this.
What's this?
The constant being thrown into horrible situations, having a constant threat on my life, meeting some companion, and then have them die on me later. It is getting a bit old.
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from.

"Meh. I guess?" She shrugged. "Wasn't really paying attention. I was more focused on not getting frozen to a statue." She ran a hand through her hair. "Why?"

(Ships are always good)

Hinata smiled.
"Hey," She said, looking quite happy. Of course, she nearly did a double-take at what Serena said, especially when she saw the blush. Tatsuo? Tatsuo?! The dude who thought his only purpose in life was to fight? That Tatsuo?!
"Of course he is," Hinata said, still a bit baffled.
Why is she asking about me?
I dunno, why don't you ask her yourself?
There's no need for that, I'm perfectly fine staying right- Hinata interrupted him by forcing him out. Tatsuo blinked a few times, then shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Hello," he said.

As Kye got closer to the figure, they opened their eyes and stood up. They revealed that their eyes lacked irises and any signs of emotion.
”There is… someone inside you… correct…?” the figure spoke semi-clearly as they started to slowly pace towards Kye.

”Nah, I was just thinking I know them or something, not that it matters anyways” Matthew shrugged as he said that. The cat on his shoulder jumped from his to Adara’s shoulder, licking her neck after landing on it.
They would soon arrive in front of the Celestial Hall. As Matthew opened the door, a blue and subtle explosion came from inside. It did not harm anyone though for it was just an aura explosion. When Matthew looked inside and realized who it was, he physically sighed.
”Why the hell are you here?!” he asked, tone clearly annoyed.
The figure inside had bright cyan colored hair which covered about half of his forehead, black eyes, and a formal suit on.
”To check on… the telescope…?” the figure replied, blinking rapidly and smiling nervously.
”What you did does not qualify as checking it… at all—“ Matthew facepalmed himself as he summoned a wooden spear and threw it straight at the figure ”—idiot”

When Tatsuo appeared Serena was physically taken aback. Her face had gone redder with the presence of the warrior. Due to her small size compared to most females, she looked like Tatsuo’s daughter than anything. She then ran behind Chris and hid behind his legs, eyes just barely showing as she tried to avert them from looking at the man.
”… a-are you thinking what I’m thinking…?” the ice fox asked his brother quietly.
”Most likely…” the fiery fox replied with a soft tone and a small giggle.

”There is… someone inside you… correct…?” the figure spoke semi-clearly as they started to slowly pace towards Kye.

Kye stopped his advance, but didn't pull back from the character. "Why do you ask?" he spoke carefully not giving any emotions away or showing whether or not this person had struck a nerve.
How on planet Zelon do people know I'm here?
Not a question I can answer.
I feel like in this place there is about equal threat on our lives, just cause now I feel like this person is going to attack you to get me.
Probably accurate.

The figure smiled a bit in almost a threatening way. They were jumped up, pulling Jade’s body by her neck along with them. They stood on the edge on the maze’s wall before spinning around, ultimately causing a dizzying effect on Jade. They then released the strings, throwing Jade across the maze. Upon landing, she would find herself in a black and white hall with a carpeted floor.

Jade picked herself up and looked around still slightly dizzy but she held her ground and started to walk slowly to find a bench or someone who could help her find A-Ya.

The eyeless figure turned a bit to the right before he answered with the words:
”To purify you…” as the figure said that, they summoned what looked like a book of magic and started to cast something on Kye and the demon inside his body. As the spell finished, golden ribbons with ancient texts written on them appeared from the ground and tied Kye’s body up. Another set of them appeared by the figure, rushing at Kye and attempted to pull Gelion out.

Within the black and white hallways, it was suspiciously quiet. There were people around and they didn’t seem to be as on edge as the people in the hallways before. Perhaps the person who was supposed to guard this hallway wasn’t here. Now Jade was met with a three way split.

(Go Straight?)
(Right?)
(Left?)

”Most likely…” the fiery fox replied with a soft tone and a small giggle.

Tatsuo raised an eyebrow at Serena's actions, now knowing what was going on. Hinata chuckled very softly, watching the situation unfold and her theory be confirmed.
"Oh my," she said with a smile. Tatsuo turned to her, a questioning look on his face.

(Tatsuo’s completely clueless isn’t he XD)

Serena, after a bit of time, was able to walk back to stand in front of Tatsuo. She smiled a bit at him, her face as red as a tomato. She stopped to look at the ground before shaking her head a bit. After another moment of silence, she looked back up at Tatsuo, walked up closer to him, and just straight up hugged him.
Warm… she thought, her facial expression showed pure joy.

Within the black and white hallways, it was suspiciously quiet. There were people around and they didn’t seem to be as on edge as the people in the hallways before. Perhaps the person who was supposed to guard this hallway wasn’t here. Now Jade was met with a three way split.

(Go Straight?)
(Right?)
(Left?)

Jade looked around nervously but kept straight hoping for luck not really watching her surroundings as she trecked on

Tatsuo had kept looking at Hinata, having no idea why Serena was acting the way she was. His head wiped over to look at her, eyes wide, when she hugged him.
"Oh! Uh-" He had no idea what was going on- why was she hugging him?! He looked to Hinata for guidance.
Just hug her back! She sent, managing to hold her composition on the outside. On the inside, however, she was laughing. So hard. Tatsuo really had no idea how to handle himself when he wasn't fighting.
Tatsuo hugged Serena back awkwardly, not really used to physical touch other than Hinata.

The path Jade chose to walk was empty and led to another hallway, one that was decorated with metallic walls and rusty metallic floors. There wasn’t much to note about the hallway other than the fact that it was made almost completely of metal.

(Introducing: The ‘Completed’ Kitsune Quadruplets :D)

When Tatsuo wrapped his hands around Serena, she jumped a bit but decided to go with it. She did not let go of him and it did not look like she was going to let go soon either.
She whispered something several softly that only the fox brothers heard with their extremely sensitive ears.
”Oooooooooohhhhhhh~~~!!!!” Kasai legitimately screeched when he heard was Serena said to herself.
”Kasai, I will tell Matt if you do anything bad” Kori warned before his brother did anything.
Soon after, sounds of footsteps can be heard from the hall in front of Hinata. Two figures which looked alike to each other and the foxes behind her appeared in the hallway. As soon as they saw the fire and ice foxes behind Hinata, they blinked a bit before asking.
”Since when was she here?” one of the new figures asked.
”Eh, a bit ago… oh—“ Kori answered before he stepped in front of Hinata.
”—you haven’t met these two yet, they’re our brothers as well though they were always on vacation or on a mission when you come to visit Matty. This is Shinrin—“ the ice fox introduced the black haired and green eyed fox hybrid who, as mentioned, looked like him and was the shortest of the brothers.
”Pleasure to meet you, finally” the nature fox bowed politely in greetings.
”—and this is Rakurai” the icy fox gestured to the other figure who had blonde hair and azure eyes and was the tallest of the brothers as well.
”Sup” the electric fox ‘greeted’, one hand making a small wave the other in his pocket.

Hinata bowed in greeting, straightening up and waving slightly in return.
"Nice to meet you!" Tatsuo was at a complete loss for words, having no idea what the hell was going on anymore. Hinata was definitely gonna ask Kasai about what Serena said later.

The wooden fox and electric fox went to the fire and the ice.
”We need to talk… like— right now” the wood fox said to the other brothers as they nodded.
”We’ll be back inside soon Hinata, give us a sec” Kasai said as he and Kori followed the other two outside the Research Building.

Serena was still smiling as she hugged Tatsuo.
Chris was now a bit irritated, perhaps jealous of what was going on.

(If you’ve not been able to guess yet, I introduced the other fox brothers in this remake for… a reason)

(Stay with Serena and Tatsuo?)
(Have Kagami follow the Foxes?)
(Have Katsuo follow the Foxes?)
