Umbra Scriptum VS Tien Tri

"No guarantees, Ian. I want to wipe this place off the face of the world." Artic dug into her bag and took out a uniform and wig. It was a good thing they managed to steal these awhile back. They can enter Umbra and no one would know who they are. "Let's get ready."

Aiden turned back towards Norm and sighed. "If I went easy on them, then they'll never learn. Our enemies will not show mercy to anyone. It doesn't matter if they are young or not."

Seth nodded. "You know... like learn about each other. Become friends." He smiled and lowered himself so he was eye-level with Flame. "I'm sure you had a lot of friends, right?"

Ian sighed, taking out his disguises as well. He put on his wig as he looked over at Artic. "Then at least try to refrain yourself if you meet Aiden again."

Flame blinked up at him, frowning a bit before she shook her head.

"Gee, don't sound too excited now, Noelle," Seren remarked sarcastically before walking to the entrance.

Norm was shocked that he was still alive after speaking out against Aiden. He pinched himself to test and his conclusion was verified. Aiden was...not as scary as he originally thought? "Oh. I suppose...t-that makes sense."

Noelle matched her pace. "Well, SOR-RY if I ain't thrilled to go on a boring mission."

"I'll try, Ian. But, you know as well as I do that he deserves whatever happens to him. It'll be even better if I was the one that got to exact his punishment." Artic hid her silver hair under her wig and straightened out the Umbra uniform. "It's not my fault that he deserves to die." She turned towards Ian and gave him a serious look.

Aiden shrugged and went on his way. "Of course it makes sense. There's a reason for everything I do, so from now on do NOT doubt my logic."

Seth looked at Flame in confusion. "You've never had a friend? Well, from this day forward I'm your friend." Seth smiled and extended his hand out to her. "How about it?"

Ian sighed and shrugged. "Let's hurry and get this done and over with then."

Flame looked at him in surprise before smiling a little and nodded, taking his hand.

Seren just sighed, keeping to herself that this mission wouldn't be boring. In fact, it might even provide them some entertainment to say the least.

"I'll remind you that I'm not your inferior!" Norm called after him, but did not follow.

Noelle made faces at Seren. Why was she so quiet? What a boring person.

Artic shrugged while hiding her bag up a tree. "Let's go. Once we get in we're going to have to separate so we can take out their security." She smiled lightly and walked towards the building.

Aiden shrugged. "And I'll remind you that you're not my superior."

"Alright!" He stood up and smiled. "Let's go get some food. While we do that we'll talk and get to know each other." He kept a hold of her hand and lead Flame to the cafeteria.

Flame followed after him, blinking. "Are you always this happy?"

Ian nodded, putting his earphone on. "Everything ready?"

"You don't need to make faces at me," Seren remarked without looking back at Noelle.

"I'm not," Noelle replied tersely, but she flashed a small smile.

Norm just watched him go, unsure of how to reply to that. It had taken a lot of courage just to say anything at all.

"Yeah." Artic took a deep breath and looked up at the building. "All we have to do is take out the major keys to their security. Do you want to go after the people or the system?"

Seth smiled and nodded. "Of course! Life isn't fun when you frown all the time. Plus it makes others feel at ease." He looked down at her. "You should try smiling more. I know this place isn't exactly 'happy', but in places like these you just have to make the best of it."

"Oh...okay," Flame said, managing a small smile.

Ian replied, "I'll go for the system."

"Uh huh," Seren remarked sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me," Noelle muttered. "Ain't no prissy rule-maker here and that's the only thing that would warrant an eye-roll."

"Alright." She took out a map of the building and gave it to Ian. "The system is close to the top of the building. You've got quite a climb."

"There you go!" He snickered lightly and opened the doors that lead to the cafeteria. "What would you like to eat?"

"It'd be a simple task for me," Ian replied, taking the map with a slight smirk.

Flame shrugged. "Anything's fine with me."

"You're just too uptight, Noelle," Seren remarked casually.

"Uptight? The hell's that supposed to mean?" Noelle glared.
