The young monk smiled softly as she looked between the two children, who were doing their best to reassure her, each in their own unique ways. Aiami lifted her hands, palms up, and shook her head as she did so. She nodded toward the arcosian before kneeling down to the kids’ height and speaking. “Defrosch understands. This isn’t a permanent ‘no.’ I know about this place now, and about all of you. And where to find you. I’ll be back.” She looked between Etoru and Core, grinning.
When she stood again, Aiami turned to Ninjin, face a mixture of relief, excitement, and respect. Putting her fist into her palm, she bowed toward the hybrid woman. “It would be a privilege to learn from you, ma--!”
Before she had the chance to finish, some kind of half-machine thing arrived. So quickly, Aiami only very distantly registered that the android had launched an attack on someone. She was so blown away by how quickly Bing had arrived, that she only came back to her senses when he blasted off. She twisted her head, tracking him as he left, but Akemi’s word snapped her out of it. The kitsune was right, of course. No way she could take on someone that fast.
Take care of the children. Right. Aiami looked to Defrosch for a lead to follow, since he was the one who was ordered to take care of it, but found none. The arcosian was on his rear, looking what she thought was fairly surprised. Did he sneeze? Was that the noise she heard just as Bing arrived? She would sort it out later, for now she decided to do something.
Aiami looked down at Etoru, figuring she would have to do something to stop him from chasing after the android. She couldn’t physically keep him from doing so, but maybe she could try distracting him? This was, assuming of course, that Etoru did indeed plan on chasing Bing down. If he wasn’t, she was going to sound very silly. Oh, well. “Etoru! Can you check Defrosch for any injuries? I… think he got hit when that machine man rushed in!”
She nodded confidently, or tried to, before moving toward Core (wherever that might be) and looking him once over for any sign of damage. “Core! Can you look at me? Are you okay? How badly does it hurt?”

It was actually just the start of that bad day for Core, first most people on the lookout seemed to be annoyed by his presence, or at least some of them, including the only other Arcosian that wasn’t from his family that he knew was a good person, and the only other kid that he could consider as maybe a rival and even a friend, as the young Arcosian didn’t wanted to create conflict where it wasn’t needed. Core was actually really surprised that Ninjin was still battling for him to be part of the team, even if what she was saying was entirely right, he wasn’t an innocent child, he had faced much more than most and honestly was quite stronger than many, but Maeve’s decision was also honorable, wanting to protect the children and refusing help from them, it’s true that it would be protecting them, but if they were to lose because they turned down so much power, then what could him and Etoru, for example, do about all of this on their own, especially since they would probably never work together, not that it would bother the young Arcosian to learn to know more Etoru, he would forgive him.
Then it started all up again, Etoru trying to be mean to Core, the young Arcosian was right in front of him when the hybrid threw another insult at him, saying that he was over-estimating him, which couldn’t be less true since he knew nothing about him and just though he was a monster, and everybody that knew Core could say that he was everything but a monster, but the young Arcosian chose to let go of that information the young Hybrid threw at him, no need to trigger to every single detail the young Hybrid though he knew, plus it wouldn’t be really mature for him to react over everything, he would have to choose his battle, again, Core was doing that also to prove Defrosch that he was not immature and could handle an ‘’Adult’’ confrontation better than Etoru could, though the goal had selfish reason, it was still a good goal.
After his speech against Etoru, the hybrid’s simple ‘you done’ answer would annoy Core even more, and then he began to threaten him to fight, powering back up to a level so low, Core actually grinned from it and looked down ashamed for him. ‘’ Now listen up Etoru. First, there will be no fight here. This is a sacred ground as I was told and I wouldn’t want to destroy it accidently by punching you through it, second, we’re in the same team and third, you don’t have NEARLY enough power to compete with me, can you feel my ki? I’m a little under ten times stronger than you actually are, so you shouldn’t brag and actually listen to the people around, and check your temper, it’s getting the best of you, if I assume there is a better side to you, which I hope there is.’’ Core would tell him in a voice that was trying to be pacific, but would still show that Core’s child temper was running out soon enough.
Suddenly and from nowhere, the young Arcosian heard a new robotic voice yelling at him to not touch Etoru, he would instantly close his eyes tightly, after seeing the clearly strong opponent rush toward him and would use his after-image to hopefully get out of the way. When Core side-stepped with his move and actually managed to dodge the hit, his heart was beating incredibly fast when he just saw the impact that the man’s kick left in the air. ‘’ I didn’t touched him, and what the hell is a Gremlin exactly?!’’ Core would tell back at him, his voice betraying the fact that he was about to piss himself if he was ever able to do so. And then when Core noticed the man ran away quickly, he thought to himself. [Well… maybe he was weak after all and was scared by my reaction speed? Wow!] He though a bit surprised, not noticing he clearly left because of Maeve because of his alarm danger in his head screaming. Core was also too chocked to even notice that Maeve had left.
The next thing the young Arcosian noticed was Aiami walking toward him, without a second waster, he went toward the girl and hugged her, hiding his face in her belly, the fact that danger came in the form of an android looking like a human, and the impact of the hit showing him that it would have hurt a lot if it landed, and the fact that everyone seemed not to have moved before and after the attack, Core was scared, was this man even scarier than he though? And that’s when he noticed Maeve’s absence; the young Arcosian would step out of the hug gently before turning to everyone. ‘’ Where is Maeve? Does this metal man took her? If so, we have to save her!’’ He would yell out with courage before noticing her power signature beneath him. ‘’ O-oh… never mind…’’

The back and forth between Core and Etoru irked Ninjin something fierce but she should of guessed that something like this would happen. Mostly because they were both children in a sense and yet here they stood ready to stand up to forces that could kill them and would not hesitate to do so. Despite the outward appearance it seemed that the pair would bluster at one another and settle things on their own. Yet Etoru jumped in power up to his maximum and Ninjin frowned ever so slightly as things began to degrade even faster around her. It seemed that this peaceful meeting had become pure chaos after Maeve had made her claim to be plain before everyone. The offer she had given to Alami was getting an answer as she blinked and things seemed to slow down.
Reopening her eyes she caught a slight glint in the distance of the building on the lookout. This glint instantly became a figure who was coming in fast toward the group. Before she could even reopen her eyes fully this android/cyborg was there in their midst and had a kick readied to strike at Core. With a massive swing of his leg aimed directly at Core. Core seemed to shimmer in the moment the strike was about to hit and she felt herself hold her breath for the moment. Yet turning her gaze up at the android she noticed the humanoid look and the skin that seemed to be alive. In the moment she caught where the androids eyes looked and things began to hit her in that moment. :: Is that Bing? It has to be because I can see how his eyes look at Maeve… That and look at his reaction… ::
Hearing a voice echo out from the android she was confused for a moment before she had to shield her face as he took back off into the air. Glancing over at Maeve she noticed the facial changes and it all but confirmed her thoughts. Closing her own eyes as she felt his power vanish as fast as it had appeared and she would not attempt to say anything to Maeve. As inside of her mind it would be hollow to try and tell her anything in particular in this moment. Though as Maeve turned and rushed off she heard the Kitsune speak up and Ninjin nodded at her. “I will help them… You go see to Maeve…”
Ninjin would return the bow from the demon before she would turn back to the group. Turning toward the group as she would feel the demon move toward wherever Maeve had retreated to. A sigh would escape her lips. Walking over to Etoru Ninjin would kneel down and look at him. She would speak up and hope that her words would reach him. “Hey Etoru do not go after him… Not inside the state you are in right now. You would be too emotional and easy for him to defeat should he turn out to be more hostile than he was with Core… At least with him alive in this state there is a chance that someone can reach him. So let us hold out the hope that that occurs.”
Standing up Ninjin would pat Etoru on the head lightly. Turning to look at Alami and Core. “I take it you are fine Core? And you as well Alami?”
The question was simple and once she was responded to she would look over at Defrosch and despite their differences she knew that the Arcosian was just doing what he believed in. Turning on her heel she remembered something. “Alami I have a home in the Southern Islands. While I am not the current head master of the Turtle School and cannot train you inside the secret techniques of the school I can train you until the hermit returns to Earth and then she can finish up your training. So should you need me feel free to head out to the islands and I will sense you out and come and train with you.”
With the words spoken to her she would wave to the others before walking toward the edge of the lookout and dropping off the edge and igniting her ki and taking off back toward her home.

Etoru glared at the Acrosian child. When he started to reply, Etoru puffed his cheeks out stubbornly. The little twerp! Oh Etoru was really going to kick his face in one of these days...! "Who gets to decide if there's a fight or not?! OH AND THIS IS A SACRED GROUND! And guess what! You aren't punching anyone through it, cause you're gonna be stuck cleaning your own blood off the white tiles! NAAA!" Etoru stuck his tongue out and continued to glare at the ugly looking creature. What Core said next caused the hybrid to growl lowly. "We're not the same team you ugly face, and TWO, I don't care how strong you think you are, I can kick your butt! No sweat!"
It wasn't until Etoru heard a strange, yet oddly familiar voice, call out from the backround. "Huh...?" Before Etoru could look, Defrosch's loud sneeze surprised Etoru, causing the boy to fall onto his back. "D-DEFROSCH! WHAT THE HECK!" ON the floor, completely dazed, he heard a lot of commotion, and Core was...yelling at someone? Strange...who could have stepped in at a time like this? Etoru didn't feel any energy come by.
Etoru crawled too his feet looking around confused. Maeve was...crying? She rushed back inside and Etoru couldn't really tell why?! Did Core do something?! OH THAT LITTLE BRA--all of a sudden, Aiami walked up to him. Etoru looked at her confused. "Defrosch? Machine man...whut..." He tilted his head confused. "What machine man, what in the world just happened. Gosh Defrosch, is your sneeze REALLY that horrifying...?!" He frowned as he looked around. Then Ninjin said don't go after 'him'...what?! "GO AFTER WHO?! You people are crazy! Defrosch literally JUST sneezed...! If this is some kind of stupid prank, I don't like it...! And why was Maeve crying...?!" He huffed stubbornly.
It wasn't until...he noticed Core...so vulnerable...not paying attention....a slow, mischievous grin, crept across his face. "Hehehe..." A white aura spiraled around Etoru. He had a huge cocky smirk planted on his face. "Hey! Loser!" Etoru would call out to the acrosian. "Forgetting something...heh...HRAAAAGHHH!!!!" Suddenly, his hair would flash golden, and his eyes teal. His tail however, remained a nice soft fuzzy brown. "Okay! So, about two minutes ago, you said something abouuuut uh lets see, punching me through the lookout? Hmmm that doesn't sound really safe now does it?" Etoru raised his chin up a bit menacingly. A large amount of electricity formed in his fist. "Alright, this should do~" He pointed his none charged up hand at Core and grinned widely. "Try crossing me....AFTER THIS ONE YOU LITTLE SNOB! I'M GONNA KNOCK YOUR LIGHTS IN! NO SWEAT!" Etoru then kicked off, his fist which was full of electricity, cocked back. He'd then bring it full force to the Acrosians cheek and attempt to punch him off the lookout. Should his hit land, the electricity should rush through his body pretty much shutting his entire movements down temporarily.

'Urgh... Okay. Note to self, don't rush that idea next time...' Defrosch wobbled groggily to his feet, slightly off balance for a moment. He shook his head, only hearing a few bits of what people were saying at first. Most of it was about... Macaroni? No, that wasn't right. It sounded more like 'mechanical'. Defrosch could've sworn he heard someone blurt out 'gremlins' too.
Goodness, the timing on that disaster of a sneeze was really something. Defrosch rolled his eyes and cleared his throat, but he still sounded really nasally. The good ol' universe was seemingly back to trolling him. Who knows, perhaps that was in some way a good sign. It had been a while since the last time he got wildly unlucky in front of people. "Bhggheh... Scuse me. That normally doesn't- Snrrrrrk- eugh. That normally doesn't happen."
Defrosch blinked a few times to see if there was anything wrong with his vision; and there was nothing beyond his eyes watering slightly along with the sniffling. "Listen, uh... I'm gonna just go inside. Gotta drop off my stuff an' do some reading." He waved lazily to the group, not yet noticing that Maeve had absconded to the inner sanctum.
With all that said and done, he made his way to the main entrance of the Lookout, but before he entered, he paused noticing Etoru's power skyrocket as he yelled at Core. Some childish banter, unsurprisingly. 'Hhhh... That kid. A wild and free soul if I've ever met one. At the very least it'll teach Core to stop underestimatin' people...' One last snort escaped from Defrosch, and he was gone.

"Maeve's fine, er, well..." The young monk paused to consider briefly. "I'm not sure, but she's safe." Aiami nodded to the arcosian kid, going to stand and look over the others. It seemed everyone else was undamaged, at least. She turned her full attention to Ninjin when she approached, nodding an affirmative to her questioning. "Yes, we are both well, as far as I can tell. I'm still not sure what happened just now, or who that was, or... really about much of this. But that's going to have to wait for another time." She listened closely to what Ninjin told her, offering another bow to the former Turtle Master as she made her exit.
She moved to help Defrosch up, but was surprised to find him already standing and... not sounding too good. Poor guy. Aiami looked on in concern as he also excused himself. "Well, it was nice to see you again. Until next time, I hope you stay safe." She inclined her head and offered a warm smile. That was most everyone gone now, except for... the kids.
"Now, th--" For the second time in the past five minutes she was interrupted by a powerful offense. She had only just started to turn when Etoru's energy soared, instinctively she took a step back. Aiami opened her mouth to protest, but then halted. They seemed caught up in the moment, and if it came down to it, there's nothing she could to do stop them fighting, anyways. And, given the lack of every other adult figure, this was seemingly okay.
Regardless of the effects of Etoru's punch, Aiami would shout out to them. "If you must fight, do it away from the tower! Maeve has enough to deal with already without a busted home!" Hopefully that would register with them. With that done, she turned and walked toward the edge of the tower, a bit of a grin on her face. She had been thinking about doing this since she arrived.
Standing on the very edge, Aiami turned so her back was to the void and closed her eyes, centering herself before simply leaning back and... falling. As she plummeted, she embraced the feeling of weightlessness, the joy and excitement of simply letting go. The wind rushing past her was almost as intense as the rush she was feeling in her soul. For someone who could fly, the idea of not could be exciting. Of course, the ride had to end before she hit the bottom. Within a few seconds she opened her eyes and called on her ki to slow her descent until she was hovering. Gauging herself, she flew off south, toward the distant sands of the desert.

Etoru soared through the air, clenching his fist. He took in this sweet moment too see that LOOK on Core's face before he hit him! Ah, isn't revenge sweet! Who cares if Ms.Maeve scolds him, or even punishes him after this. This was well worth it! The child punched the acrosian at fast speeds, the electricity coursing through the changelings veins as he was sent soaring off the platform. Etoru grinned as he landed onto the tiles safely. He swayed his fuzzy brown appendage while his golden aura danced around him like a wild fire. Etoru watched as the Acrosian was unable to move, slowly descending towards the earth below. "ha....what a loser.... 'punch me through the lookout' PFFT! YEAH OK." With that said and done, the child walked towards the palace, entering the lookout. He climbed the spiral stair case and then went into his room, jumping onto his bed getting ready to sleep. It's been a long, but fun, day.
