"Ayame, can you and Sibyl keep Ninja busy?"
"Yeah. But what are you going to do?"
"You're keeping the puppet off me while I going after the puppeteer. Hopefully, we'll be able to break Slades hold on him."
With that, he jumped to the rooftop.
[I'll let one of you decide how things happen down here girls]
When he landed on the roof, Slade was waiting for him.
"Hey Slade. Long time no see."
On "see", he launched a quick jab at Slades face, not actually expecting it to connect. It didn’t. Slade easily turned it aside.
“Aw, now is that any way to great an old friend?”<br> Slade had launched a kick, which Schatten caught with one of his own, then sent a roundhouse at Slades head. He brushed it aside.
“Though, I guess we weren’t really friends were we?”<br> Slade jumped and launched a flurry of kicks, left, right, left, Schatten blocking each one. and retaliated with a coup de tete. Slade stopped that.
“After all, if ours was one soul abiding in two bodies, I’d be feeling a bit… burned out right now.”<br> Slade lunged with a strike at a nerve cluster on Schatten’s shoulder. Schatten ducked away and continued going around, low to the ground, trying to take Slades legs out from under him. Slade backfliped over it, catching Schatten in the jaw on his way over. Both landed on their feet, about three meters apart.
“Tell me. Do you really think you can distract me that easily?” Slade asked.
“Just making polite conversation,” Schatten replied, after working his jaw a bit.
Then they were at it again, but this time, Schatten really began putting his powers to use, forcing Slade to devote more and more of his attention to keeping ahead of the attacks that kept coming faster and faster. Finally, Slade began unleashing some of his pyrotechnics, forcing Schatten to go even faster, just to keep from getting fried. But that also continued to weaken Slades concentration. Schatten just hoped it would be enough to let the girls get through to Ninja. Finally, just as he was running out of steam, Slade left a small opening. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for Schatten to get one solid kick in at Slades head. He took it, and sent Slade flying backwards with all the power he could spare into the kick. The rest he used to open a portal, behind Slade. The portal left him 3 kilometers away and about 40 meters in the air. He hopes Slade would be too stunned to recover in time to catch himself. And if not, he had at least bought some time to recover enough to be ready for another bout.
He wearily slid to the ground and looked over the edge of the building, hoping Ayame and Sibyl had managed to cut the puppets strings.

Sibyl was still freaked out how quick "Ninja"'s reflexes were. "Look!" Ayame yelled and pointed up. They were just fast enough to see Schatten and Slade fight. Sibyl guessed Schatten was trying to loosen Slade's puppeteer concentration. It was working. Ninja's grip on Sibyl's wrist began weakening, until Ninja opened his eyes. "AH!" Ayame let out a scream as she charged at Ninja. Sibyl ducked as Ayame soared over her and hit Ninja square in the face. "Don't mess wit the females!" Ayame called out triumphantly. Ninja graasped his head and sat up from where he had fallen. Sibyl powered up her fist and let out a ball of fire, aimed right at Ninja's chest. Right as her attack was about to hit Ninja dodged it and ran to the left. Nimbly, he changed his path and ran head on for Ayame and Sibyl. "What's up with him?" Ayame said, but then sped out of his way as Ninja headed for Sibyl. He unsheathed his sword and swung it, attempting to decapitate (spell check) Sibyl. Sibyl gasped and fell the the ground, swinging around in time to launch herself at Ninja's feet. "Let go of him," Sibyl hissed up into Ninja's ear for Slade to hear (NOO! THE RHYMING!!). "Never, sweet daughter," Slade replied cooly and swung another slash at Sibyl. This one sliced her across the right eye and sent her flying backward, just to Ayame's right. Ayame looked up again at Schatten in time to see him send Slade flying into one of his portals. Ayame took this time to swipe Ninja's back with a powerful punch, enough to make Slade let go of his last string on Ninja.

(grr...I never get to play, I come back from school and everything's done already.)
"UGH!" Ninja fell face first on the floor, slowly struggling back up to his feet. Ayame aimed another punch at him, she was ready to give him a punching frenzy. He dodged it and grabbed her arms. "Stop!"
"That's what you'd like huh?" She kicked him in the chest, sent a barrage of knee kicks into his face, slammed her head into his head and kicked "where it hurts the most" but only hit the metal plating he had on (Very important to have a groin shield in the midst of battle eh?). She rolled backwards and grabbed her foot, screaming in pain. "OW OW OW MY FOOT! darn IT! AHHHH!....GRR I'LL GET YOU!" Ayame's face was taken over by a murderous look, she lunged at him while Ninja was still completely confused and stunned. Sibyl caught her by the legs, Ayame fell on her face.
"He's ok now...STOP!" Ayame clawed on the floor in an effort to free herself and jump on Ninja until she came to her senses a minute after Sibyl said this.
"uh... OH..heh." She sweatdropped and slapped her forehead. "Uh..my bad?"
Ninja twitched on the floor, his face bruised and swollen. "Eh...No problem...I'll be getting up...sometime this century...ow.."
"Nice..." Sibyl gave Ayame an annoyed look and noticed Schatten staring down on them.
"Sorry! Sumimasen!(sorry!)" Ayame slapped her head again and helped Ninja to his feet. She pulled more bottles from her pockets and offered them to him.
"No... really I'm fine." He wobbled back a little and shook his head with his hands in front of him, pushing the medicine away.
"So, are you going to come down or are you just going to lay there like a dead piece of meat?" Sibyl placed her hands by her waist and tilted her head, Schatten raised an eyebrow and silently jumped down.
"You manage to free Ninja from Slade, right?" Schatten looked back at Ninja and Ayame, who was running around offering limes and foot ointment cream.
"Yeah...but I don't think we'd ever be able to free him from Ayame's stupid antics." Sibyl and Schatten watched the female attempting to push a watermelon into Ninja's ear and him frantically trying to run away as they sweat dropped over and over.
"Ok, enough of this clowning around, time for interrogation!" Schatten took the watermelon from Ayame and headed for Ninja. Sibyl followed after and slapped Ayame across the face to calm her down.
"....hey do that again!" Ayame was hyper, but not quite sure what, there was an empty bag of sugar floating in the air.
"I wish I could..." Sibyl pointed at a figure behind Schatten and Ninja. "Slade..." She squinted her eyes and gave a nod to everyone to signal their attack. They all run towards the dark figure, only to find that it was a crazy old hobo. They all face faulted into the ground and laughed. All attention came back to Ninja, who was still completely unaware of the pass events (maybe Ayame hit too hard...).
"What were we saying? Oh yeah...INTERROGATION!" Sibyl's voice rang through the streets, she covered her mouth in shock of how loud she was and whispered. "I mean, interrogation..."
"Right..."

(Wot Up!!....Tis' I, MITCHDAWG!!!!)
Ninja rubbed his head and looked around straingly, he fell over and onto his butt, then looked up and asked.."Ok! What the hell happened?" Schatten stepped forward and answered, "It seemed like Slade was controling you, but not anymore!" Ninja finally stood up and backed away for a second. "You mean, Master is gone?" Ayame, Sibyl and Schatten looked at each other for a moment. Sibyl then replied, "Master!?...Slades not your Master!!!", then Ayame jumped in, "Yeah!.....Can I offer you some ice tea?" Ninja fronted Ayame and yelled, "Look!!! I dont need your simpathetic ICE TEA!....I just need to get back to my Master!" Ayame gave a sad look and said "Well, you dont HAVE to be so AGRO!"
"AGRO!!!! Whadda ya mean AGRO!!!!?", Ninja yelled as he pulled out his trusty Electric blade. Schatten rushed up and smacked Ninja over, "Back off!" said Schatten in a heavy tone. Ninja did a backwards summer-salt onto his feet. He looked down and began to walk into the opposite direction. "Now, why are you walking away, huh?" asked Sibyl as she stared at Ninja, "Why do you have to be such a Loner?!" Ninja didnt listen, he just kept walking his merry way. "Why dont you just join us?..Instead you leave?"
Ayame ran up to Ninja and grabbed him by the shoulders, and turned him around, "C'mon....Dont leave yet!...I want another fight with you!" Ninja looked up at Ayame, but he just broke out of her grasp. Everyone just gave Ninja a snarling look, Suddenly...*CRACKLE-SNA-BANG-A* "AAAAGH!!!!" Ninja fell to his knees with electricity surrounding his body, "MA-ST-ER!!!!.....WHYYYYY!!!!"
Ayame, Schatten and Sibyl stood in shock, not knowing what to do until....*BOOOM*, The lighting stopped and Ninja fell to the ground not saying a word. "Uhhhhh..." said Schatten, "What the heck just happened?" Eveybody moved in towards Ninja's lying body. Sibyl knelt down next to him and said, "Ok? Is it me...Or does this guy keep getting bolted to death?" Schatten placed his fingers on Ninja's paulse and said, "Well, he's alive!..I think we gotta find a place to stay...We cant stay out all night, we gotta sleep"
*YAWWWWH* Ayame gave a big yawn and replied, "Yeah! your right...Im getting kinda tired"...
(I guess thats alright, I didnt know what to put so I just cramed in anything)...

"Should we bring the half dead dude?" Sibyl eyed Ninja. "Well... he's apart of our group now... I guess..." Schatten said, and began walking down the street. Ayame followed behind him, leaving Sibyl to carry the dead weight of Ninja's body. "Stupid lazy good for nothins..." Sibyl grumbled. She dragged Ninja as fast as she could, but she had to face it, he was heavy. Her arms became tired as she struggled to keep up with the other two. "HEY! SHOW SOME SYMPATHY!" Sibyl called out, perhaps a little too loudly. It was, after all, at least 5 in the morning.
Okay it's like 11:00 PM over here and I'M TIRED! I havn't had a good sleep in weeks... and I don't think I'm doing too well... oh well you guys take over

"Come on Sibyl, stop being a wimp!" Ayame ran back and helped her pick Ninja up, slinging him over her shoulder. Sibyl shrugged and walked on to let her take over, Ayame backstepped and walked on as her knees started to shake from the weight. "What the hell have you been eating! darn it, I give up." She placed him on a lid of a trashcan and pulled him as if he was on a sled.
"Why aren't YOU holding him, Schatten?!" Sibyl poked him in the shoulder, quite annoyed at his indifference of the girls' struggle to lug the teenager with them.
"Because I'm not stupid? There was a wagon, you just chose not to use it." Schatten walked on and left Sibyl behind with lines of dread on her face, Ayame was just pumping Ninja with more medicine. She was rolling on the floor and singing some kind of nursery song, going absolutely crazy.
"I think I took too much Advil..." She held onto her head and staggered around as if she was drunk before collapsing on Sibyl.
"Oh great, now I gotta drag this deep fried piece of meat AND this idiotic maniac, and what is with the obession with drugs?!" Sibyl complained and took them both by their legs, dragging them along the street, allowing the cement and rocks do their course on the two's skin and clothes.
"Are you kidding me? Do you see this?" Schatten picked up a piece of Ayame's ear." What the hell are you doing?!" He glued the skin and bones back and surprisingly, they all magically healed back...darn ancient Chinese/ Japanese medicine.... "It's not that hard you know..." Schatten threw them both over his shoulder as if they were just bags and walked on.
"Showoff...darn...medicine....drug addict..." Sibyl grumbled on and followed him.
"Hello!" Ayame woke up and jumped off. "Hey thanks for the ride, where are we now?"
"We're still walking."
"Where?"
"...good point, any idea where we're going to stay?" Schatten smiled innocently and sweatdropped, followed by the rush of sweatdrops from Ayame and Sibyl.
"Well, you're not staying at my place, I roam around, so basically, I dont have a place." Ayame shrugged and looked at Sibyl for some kind of answer to Schatten's question and then back to Schatten. "Well? WHERE ARE WE GOING?!"

"umm.. well..." Sibyl scratched the back of her head with a big cheesy smile on her face. The others just stared at her. "We could always go back to my place!" "Ahem, your place? Did I hear correct?" Ayame said, disbelevingly. "Yeah..." Sibyl said, then sweatdropped. "Okaylet'sgo!" Sibyl led the way down about 3 blocks. "Eh- I'm tired," Ayame said and plopped down onto the street. "Well, you don't have to worry, cause it's right here," Sibyl smiled and pointed up to an apartment complex. Schatten dumped Ninja onto the ground. "How, exactly, do you pay for this?" "Ehh- I don't," Sibyl said and sweatdropped. She shook her face. "I actually have to sneak in here everyday... it's like an underground... place." Schatten was already climbing up the side of the building. "What? You guys waiting for an elevator?" Schatten smiled from roof. "I got Ninja," Sibyl said and oulled him up to her shoulder. She POOFed up to the roof and set Ninja down. "You want a ride?" Sibyl called down to Ayame as quiet as possible. "No," Ayame said irritably. "I got it." She began climbing up the side of the building. "Stupid... poofing and... teleporting.."

As Ayame made her way up the edge, she screamed at the two who were already walking away. "HEY! If you can do that, why didn't you do that when we were walkin?!" She threw herself over the side and sighed. "Gotta quit smoking..." Sibyl gave her a look. "what? I was kidding.."
"Whatever, lets just go." Sibyl and Schatten marched on.
"Here, let me help you with metal plate boy." Ayame lifted Ninja's legs and let Sibyl get the arms. "HEY! LETS SLING HIM OVER SIDE OF THE BUILDING!"
"Oh what I'd give to hit you right now..." Sibyl shook her head at Ayame and rolled her eyes.
"No ones stoppin' ya" Ayame challenged her and smirked, Sibyl gave her the same disputing look.
"Girls, come on, focus, now Sibyl, where do we get in?" Schatten reminded them of their duty and cleared his throat.
"Oh yeah, here" Sibyl dropped Ninja's head and lead them to the entrance. Ninja's head slammed into the cement floor.
"Oh great, thats totally going to make him feel better.."

After giving Ninja a few more bruses from a few more "meetings" between the walls and floor, the whole group finally managed to get inside.
Ayame promptly fell onto the nearby futon, asleep before she even landed.
After proping him up against a nearby wall, Schatten said, "Why don't you get some sleep too. I'll stay up and keep watch for a bit."
"Watch for what?" Sibyl asked. "Rats and Roches?"
"You can never be to careful with Slade," he replied.
"Aren't you tired?"
He grinned. "You're talking to a guy who can bend time. I can get eight hours sleep in two, if I need to. Don't worry about me. When You wake up, I'll take a "nap" and we'll be ready to go.
Sibyl still seemed unsure, but between the sound of the already sleeping Ayame, her own fatigue, and her sofa calling, she finally just lay down and was almost instantly asleep.
Once both were asleep, he went over to Ninja.
"What are you up to Slade?" he asked the unconsious figure.

Witec, you are CONSTANTLY spelling SIBYL wrong... sheesh...
"heh heh heh, wouldn't you like to know?" Slade's voice creeped out of Ninja's mask. Sibyl woke up at the raspy sounding voice, recognizing it. Schatten grabbed hold of Ninja's shirt. "Tell me you worthless lump," his temper was rising, even the room didn't dare echo his tone. Ninja didn't reply. He just fell unconcious again, falling down against the wall to THUMP on the floor. Schatten fell down on the floor too, looking weary. "Slade," Sibyl whispered ever so silently before drifting to sleep again.

It had been an hour since the possesive incident, but it only felt like a minutes to Schatten. He kept watching Ninja until he noticed his head began to move. "Uhhh" Ninja said, "Christ, My head hurts!" He sat up, looked around and noticed he was no longer outside, but in a small appartment room. "You've finally woken up I see", Schatten replied. Ninja stood up, but felt a little dazzed and asked, "Ok, where am I..what the Heck is going on here?" He reached for his electronic blade, but couldnt feel it...IT WAS NO LONGER THERE. "Looking for this?" answered Schatten as he showed-off the blades handle.
Ninja began to run towards him, but fell to the ground, he felt like he'd been druged. "Give that back!" Ninja yelled, but Schatten just walked in the opposite direction and headed to look out another window. Schatten looked at Ninja and said, "If you dont mind, I'd like it if you didnt hold a grudge against us all" Ninja got back onto his feet and remarked, "But, without that weapon, my Master will kill me!" Schatten just stared at Ninja, without a care for what he said and placed the handle in one of his pockets. "Sorry..." he said as he placed the handle away, "...but I want Slade to come back here, I didnt get a chance to kill him last time"
Ninja's eyes began to flip, and suddenly he pounced towards Schatten *FIZ-AMP* "AHHH!" Ninja had suddenly regained control of himself, but he missed Schatten, it was like he just disappeared out of thin air. "You're no chance for me!.." said Schatten as he reappeared on the other side of the room, "Even though you have atheletic abilities, you could'nt kill me if you tryed" Ninja turned himself to face Schatten, "If I had my weapon, I could do much more damage!" Schatten was'nt afraid of Ninja, to him..Ninja was just a little kid who thought he was all THAT and a BAG OF POTATO CHIPS. "Just go to sleep Ninja, We'll sort this out later, much later" replied Schatten as he walked past Ninja and began to stare out the window, as usual. Ninja just sat up on the window ledge and watched as the moon turned into the sun, it was morning...

Ayame was just dreaming of cardboard llamas and elves doing the electic slide when she woke up. "Whoa..." She was instantly up on her feet, feeling completely rejuvenated from the last nights many events, fighting with Ninja, chasing him, kicking the crap out of his face and carrying him halfway to this apartment.
"Alright, whos ready to kick some butt?" Ayame swung her fists in the air, hitting her imaginary opponent then fell back on the floor. "Whoo, I hate when that happens..." The blood had suddenly rushed into her head and she couldn't see anything for a few moments.
"Awake already? Just in time, keep an eye on this, don't let him get his hands on it, and look after monkey boy over there while I sleep for a few minutes." Schatten threw the weapon at Ayame and laid down where he was standing, quickly asleep.
Ninja looked back at Schatten and then at his weapon. He wanted it back and this was his chance, he might have had no chance against Schatten but with Ayame, he could probably take her on and win.
"So, you feeling alright? I usually feel really groggy after being stuffed with MY medicine." She waved a hand in front of her face as if to fan away the after effects of her drug overdose.
"I'm feeling just peachy..." He turned back to the view and grumpily crossed his arms. But of course, after fighting Ayame, getting fried multiple times, falling off a building, dragged, beaten to a pulp, stabbed, biten, knocked against walls and the floor, he wasn't near feeling peachy.
"Want some medicine?! I have a whole crap load of it at my aunt's house, I have a mini factory just to make these babies." Ayame played with a bottle of medicine and drank it down, throwing the small bottle across the room and smashing it into millions of pieces afterwards.
That was it, he just had to get his sword back, he hopped off the ledge and extended his arm. "Give me my blade."
"No can do, mister." Ayame shook her head and held onto the handle. She stuck out her tongue and pulled down one of her lower eye lids while making childish sounds.
"Then I'll just have to take it by force!" He charged at her, desperate to get his weapon back. He readied his fist and was about to punch her when Schatten intervened, suddenly appearing in front of Ayame. He easily pushed Ninja onto the floor and held onto his collar, bringing him up to his own face to make sure his words were heard.
"What did I say about getting your blade back? Listen close and attentively, you try another smart move like that again, I'll twist that little head of yours." Schatten released his grip and grabbed onto the handle, taking it from Ayame. "Some guard you were, next time, I'll do everything myself."
"Hey! I could have taken him, hands down! But no0o0, you have to get in the way!" Ayame screamed at him after having her pride crushed.
"You were busy acting like a 5 year old!" Schatten turned around as if he was going to hit her but spun around and walked to the corner of the room. Ayame clenched her fist and lunged at him, acting on impulse. Ninja grabbed her leg and caused her to fall, why is everyone doing that...?
"Don't even try it, you'll die before you can even touch him." He sat up and regain his senses.
"LET GO!!" Ayame started to kick and push while Ninja screamed and cursed. Schatten just sat in the corner, laughing at her futile attempts to attack him.
"Huh?" Sibyl finally woke up from all the commotion. "...Guys? Hey, stop it, shut up! GUYS! SHUT THE HELL UP!" They all stopped and turned around to see Sibyl, her entire body was engulfed in flames and the entire room was glowing. "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS FIGHTING?! STOP ACTING LIKE IDIOTS!"
Ayame sat stubbornly and Ninja fell back sighing while Schatten just looked bored.
"I mean, we ARE...kind of like a team...ish kinda thing, so why are you guys trying to bite each other's heads off?" Sibyl turned back to normal and pulled Ayame onto the couch and away from the others so that she wouldn't be able to hit them anymore. "Schatten, did you get your sleep already?"
"Yeah, slept for 10 hours..."
"Huh? Oh...yeahh...time bending uh...so anyways...do we have a plan? Because i have no idea what is going on..." Sibyl looked at the three of them back and forth.

Schatten just sighed. "Well unless our little friend "Ninja" wants to give up the ghost and tell us where MASTER is, we're stuck," Schatten turned around to look at Sibyl. "Oh, and hot shot? You scorched the floor." "Yeah, I can kinda see that..." Sibyl muttered angrily. These people were beginning to get on her nerves. She faced the window and stared out across the cityscape. "What's up with her?" Ayame whispered to Schatten, pointing a thumb toward Sibyl. "I think she's as freaked out about Slade as we are.... I mean, she's RELATED to the guy... poor girl," Schatten looked at her with fake-booboo-saddysaddy-tear eyes. Ninja just stared out the same window as Sibyl, listening to the pairs conversation but thinking of a plan beyond just that. He HAD to think of a way out of here, or else he'd betray his master. He stared at the fire brandished floor. It was a weak spot, for sure. Perhaps if he could break through it... but no, Schatten would be on him in no time. After all, the guy could teleport. Ninja sighed and fell to the floor. He blinked, still staring out the window with his gold-blink-chrome eyes. He HAD to get out... he would go crazy with that darn Ayame shoving poison down his throat.
