Ichika nodded slightly.
”We’re making a plan but we aren’t gonna just follow it by 100%, right? That’d be ridiculous” the draconian asked.

(No, we’re following the plan as it is)
(Yes, it would be ridiculous)

"It's impossible follow plan 100 percent, not with this many unknown variables. We're gonna have to adapt to the situation add it unfolds." Hinata chuckled softly.
"It'd be ridiculous to only do what we plan ahead."

Ichika scratched the back of his neck, giggling a bit.
”I suppose you’re right. Sorry, it was just that most people here love to follow ‘the plan’ all the time” he claimed.
The two fox brothers walked towards them. Everything was perfect as they wanted.

The winds would blow in the vast field they were in… as a bullet from an unknown place rushed through the air, breaking the calm silence and passing through Shinrin’s skull. The Nature Fox fell down immediately, scarlet syrup-like liquids flowing from the hole created in that fraction of a second.

Matthew, who was with Adara and Chris, reached for his heart; grabbing it like he was having a heart attack or something along those line.
”Matt!” the scientist yelped out, helping the man of nature stand straight.
”Shit…” the nature messenger’s words were shaky. A cough filled with blood rather than air confirmed something bad.

The butlers all nodded in unison again.
”There’s a thousand possibilities of actions from here to your leaving of the Labyrinth. Some are wise… some are not. We will take our leave now…” the green butler said as the other two were about to turn and leave. The blue butler stopped halfway though, turning back to Kye.
”Bring the Sapphire Eye to the Draconic child of the East, Kyoshun…” he ended as the butlers disappeared into thin air, leaving Kye with the silence and the breeze of the Garden.

Kye looked around for a moment. Part of him hoped to see another figure, but then again, he wasn't even sure she would even be here. After another glance around the area, he started back out of the gardens. All he had to do know was figure out which way was East. Because of what he did he never needed to know which way was what because to him it didn't matter.
You should've listened to him when he was teaching you how to navigate.
You know that I hate listening to lectures, and Tolkalee lectures with a completely monotone voice for hours. I would rather fight him while he is under mind control again than listen to his lectures.
He almost killed you while he was under mind control.
Uh huh, I would rather face death in other words.
….. You're mad.
Well, it has gotten me this far in life.

As Kye was walking out of the garden, he would come across a familiar-looking woman in the distance. With clothes all white and ghastly, it was hard to distinguish who the person was. She can be seen walking through the distant flowers. At that time, Kye was, though, only steps away from the exit.

(Approach the person?)
(Exit?)

"What's happening?" She panicked, backing away. She was never good at medical stuff. "Is he okay?" Which, she realized, was a stupid question. "Is the Master hurting him again?"

Kye did a double take when he spotted the person. Looking at the exit again then back to the woman. He then started walking towards the person. Not sure what to expect, or who this person was.
You're gonna get us killed.
Considering it has been over 2,000 years, and we are still alive, I highly doubt that I am going to get us killed.
…That's a little more comforting.
Yet.
That was not!!

”No, I think it’s something worse” the scientist stated.
”Shin… Shin!!” the man of Nature suddenly spoke up, his eyes were a complete leaf green. He reached up to his head, grabbing it as if he had a severe headache, one that looked like if not treated correctly would have harmful side effects on him.

The female figurine looked older than Kye, perhaps by a generation or two. She didn’t turn to face Kye but for some reason… she would look familiar to him. She walked slowly through the green gardens, winding blowing her hair in a way that it blocked her facial features.

"What?" Adara asked, her voice slightly panicked, alarm etched onto her features. "Who's Shin? Is there any way to help him?" She wasn't sure why she was so concerned about someone she had met less than an hour ago, but she was.

”Shin is… one of his ‘Soul Shards’ so to say. Shin is an essential part of Matt’s wellbeing. Regarding the helping part, I’m not sure…”
Chris gradually reached down to touch Matthew’s body, only to be pushed away by a green cloud of tense energy coming from the man.
”What the…” the scientist was taken aback by the reaction.
Attempting to do so again, he was pushed back again, this time to the other end of the room. The cloud of dense green aura formed the shape of a wolf, moving around and sitting on Matthew’s lap.

Kye moved closer to the woman and tired to look at her more closely. "Ma'am? I apologize, because this may seem rude, however I feel like I know you from somewhere. Would you happen to know me?"

The woman stopped, slightly opening her mouth. She turned to Kye slowly. Giving Kye a warm smile, she was about to say something… something a mother was wishing to say to her child before the winds blew harshly, causing her to disappear. That moment, a whisper can be heard in the winds of the Gardens.
”You came back… you really did…” the voice of a middle-aged woman said with warmth and much happiness.

"What is happening…" Adara's voice was weak, when he got shoved away. "I-is he okay?" She moved cautiously toward Matthew, reaching out a hand to the wolf.

Ichika scratched the back of his neck, giggling a bit.

The two fox brothers walked towards them. Everything was perfect as they wanted.

Hinata had been mostly relaxed, turning when the two brothers came over with a smile. She was about say something when Shinrin's was shot.
"*Shit! *" she said instead, immediately kneeling down next to him.

The man of nature was a little calmer when Adara reached down her hand to the wolf. The aura-created creature snuggled against her hand, letting out a soft, gentle purr.
The man, though, was crying. He had both of his hands covering his face as streams of tears—coursing like a river—rushed down his cheeks.

Rakurai knelt down almost instantaneously.
”Shin! Shin!!” he yelled out, maintaining his brother’s body in his hand. The blood streams were too strong to stop without the Doctor around.

Ichika gave the group a glance. He stood there, crossing his arms as a distant laugh was heard. It was certainly of the Nature Viscount.
The draconian’s eyes turned sharp before he disappeared from where was standing, only to appear again with the Viscount. The draconic Knight threw the Viscount’s body to the ground, force strong enough that it broke the ground beneath him in shards.
It was clear; the Viscount was holding a sniper rifle.
”What’s your claim…” the draconic Knight questioned, his voice cold and merciless. Though his actions don’t show it as much, he was filled with rage.

Hinata ignored the laugh and Ichika's departure, focusing all her attention on the injured fox.
"We need to get him to the hospital," she said quickly, mind racing. She was forcing herself to stay calm, reaching out to gather Shinrin up in her arms.

The nature fox was still breathing though his heart rate and breathes were soft and slow. He was fighting for his life as well.
No, he wasn’t fighting to survive, but to not die.

The Viscount grabbed their weapon and even though lying down, aimed at Shinrin again, pulling the trigger.

(What would you do?)

Hinata felt more than saw the Viscount firing at Shinrin again. Her jacket was over her wings, so she couldn't use them as a shield. Instead, she turned away from bullet, making sure there was no way for it to reach Shinrin without hitting her first.

The bullet would pass through Hinata’s torso, barely missing Shinrin’s body. The bullet was a Soul Piercing one, meaning it would damage her spiritually and not physically.

Ichika’s hands turned to claws which he used to grab the Viscount’s neck, throwing him across the field.
”Take care of Shin—“ the draconian untied his jacket, letting the wind blow it to Shinrin’s body ”—I’ll take care of this asshole” he said cruelly, rushing down the field towards where Julian was sent to.

Hinata let out a small sound when the bullet went through her, gritting her teeth.
"Right," she spat out, shifting Shinrin carefully in her arms to take her own jacket off. Her wings sprung out, and she was off, speeding through the air to get to the hospital in time.

Rakurai wanted to follow Hinata yet he lacked the ability to fly… a green and yellow motorbike roared through the fields and towards Rakurai, grabbing him then shifting to a hoverboard.
As amused as the electric fox was, there was no time to be surprised, he followed Hinata and Shinrin hastily.
The Nature Fox was bleeding relatively quickly, he was running out of time. If this keeps up, the fox brothers will all be hospitalized at some point…

”Listen here you shit…” Ichika grabbed the Nature Viscount by his collar, the fields burning with blue flames and the rage of the draconian.
”I don’t care about your fucking duty—“ a claw went through the Viscount’s chest ”—nor do I care about your nature-based ability—“ a blue flame went up and started to burn Julian whole ”—all I care about is the fact that you hurt someone close to… him” the draconian ended, a small tear fell down his cheeks as he let the Viscount go, allowing him to burn within the blue flames distributed across the field.
Ichika walked out, touching his earpiece once.
”Ichika here… hey… Eisuke, could you meet me at Aurora? I need to talk to you…” the man said as his wings sprouted, flashing through the skies but not anywhere close to where the first group were.

(Do I sense… a ship? God Coral out of all the things you could have commented on)

Hinata was too focused on Shinrin to tape was leaving Rakurai behind, or that he was following them now. She practically stumbled to a halt when they reached the hospital, using her wings for balance. She kept going, having to find someone to help with the fox in her arms.

(Actually… Ichika and Eisuke could be a Yaoi ship if you’re really into that…)

A figure in a doctor’s coat can be seen coming out of the Hospital to answer a call that was coming from their earpiece. They had medium-length black hair, a circular pair of thick glasses, a pair of round eyes with sharp edge, and fair skin.
”Hm? I’m already at Aurora, Ichi-kun—“ he soon noticed the group and hung up on the call.
”Hello! How can I help you?” he asked with a warm smile.

Adara blinked in surprise, but grinned, stroking the creature. She noticed that Matthew was crying, and tilted her head. "Are you okay?"

"My friend's been shot," Hinata said, ignoring her own wounds. She would deal with those later, Shinrin was about to die.
"And he's fading fast."
