¦| 3rd Floor, Fujishima Roku' s Villa |¦

True enough, there were a lot of them waiting, holding each of their weapons. 

"Geez. That jerk was right, I thought she's joking, there's tons of them!" Momo said as she felt intimidated by the numbers. 

Jiro pulled out 3 daggers from his knee caps and skillfully threw it towards the incoming goons. Momo on the other hand was entranced as she dodged an arrow and an incoming attack. 

"Wo-Woah! Easy there!..wai-AGHH!" Momo was definitely not used to this, these goons are on a whole new level than the ones she fought before. She successfully dodged the first one but she didn't noticed another one lunging towards her on her left side and blew her away using his arms.

"Momo-san!" Jiro was alarmed when a muscle-head goon charged Momo. 

He was about to go after him when his 6th sense noticed a familiar murderous-intent presence and quickly turned just in time to dodge an incoming
solar beam attack which nearly destroyed half of the pillars supporting the floor.

"Are you nuts?! You're about to kill everyone here including your own comrades!" Jiro spat, coughing from the dust the resulted from the attack.

"Hahaha, fool! That's what I intended to do in the first place!" A familiar voice said.

"Tsk, you pests! Who invited you here!" Kaehyun said as he faced the coughing ravenette. 

"Kaehyun..and Bado! I-Impossible! I thought you're in prison!" After the area was clear enough for everyone to open their eyes, Jiro was greeted with
a sight of an old acquaintance. 

Bado just snickered as Kaehyun aimed his shot towards the male Aeris-user but missed when a sharp wind swifted him off of his feet and distanced him from them.

"Are you okay Jiro-kun?" Momo asked, clothes almost torned apart as she quickly finished off those goons back there when she saw that Jiro was cornered by the two.

"Mo..Momo-san, you have superspeed! Now may not the time to say this but...wow that was wickedly cool for an SS!" Jiro praised as he slowly got back up, turning to his defense-mode stance.

"SS wha-? Look, you got to be careful with that weird looking gun wrapped on his arm. It's hella sticky! Jeong had to ing burn my leg just to get out of it tsk!" Momo said in annoyance as she remembered how this guy tricked her earlier.

"I know..it's the Kraggle Gun he's holding. Stupid lego freaks from their device team built it and yeah you're right, it really is a pain in the neck." Jiro briefly explained carefully eyeing Kaehyun and Bado approaching them.

"Yeunwoo..do you hear me? There has been an emergency, apparently Bado has been freed from his sentence and is now joining the fight up here on the 3rd floor." Jiro called out.

"Ah! So that explains the--wait no what the hell, Bado is a holder-type he's not an ability-type so it shouldn't of have been him. Ugh! I'll inform the others, give me a min." Yeunwoo blabbed and Jiro couldn't care less now that Bado and Kaehyun is standing infront of them backed up with their goons.

"Momo-san, stay behind me." Jiro ushered.

"Eh? Who's this unfamiliar face? Did Code Alliance decided to recruit a holder-type too? Or wait..don't tell me she's your girlfriend?" Bado's face darkened as he uttered the last remaining words and threw a venomous glare towards the already-confused momo.

"What the hell?! Who's this guy?!" 

"Oi oi OI! I should be saying the same things to you!" Bado loudly said and boomed inside the room as he aim his solar gun at her and rapidly fires while Kaehyun also did the same to Jiro who quickly dodged his every shot.

Momo on the other hand got away with her super speed and used it to her advantage to sneak behind him. It happened so fast that the next thing Bado knew is that he's been blown away with Momo's sharp wind with an excruciating pain on his back. 

"Jerk! Where's Dahyun and Sana?!" Momo asked. 

"Tch, don't mention that name. It annoys me!" Kaehyun craned his neck to the left and cracked it before turning towards the blonde and lunged towards her as a plasma blade suddenly shoots out from his arm gadget. 

Bado slowly got up on his feet with bloodshot eyes, "She's no ordinary! She's an Aeris!"

Momo's reflexes somehow saved her from her mess when she abruptly levitated a nearby object and used it as a cover for Kaehyun to slice while the other one was used to hit him on his abdomen and at the same time ducked Bado's solar attack, extended her palm out as she gathered a great amount of aura and clenched her fist and punched the air which blasted Bado away. 

Jiro wasn't able to move as he watched how Momo skillfully handled the situation, it's like she didn't need him in the first place. Now Jiro wondered where the hell did Momo really came from, was this naturally acquired or through some deep expirements? Anyhow, Momo has Jiro's respect.

Jiro used his air manipulation to get the pillar out of his leg since he was careless and was trying his goddarn best to avoid Kaehyun's glue-like gun that he didn't noticed a falling debris. 

Momo panted as she can feel her energy draining. She used a lot of it big time and because of this she almost lost her balance if it weren't for the wall supporting her. 

"Got you!" Suddenly a goon appeared out of nowhere and Momo was about to be sword-kissed if it weren't for Jiro making a retrieving gesture and the daggers he threw went back and stabbed the goon then flew back to Jiro's hands.

"Sugoi! H-How'd you do that?!" Momo asked in amazement. 

"It's my SS, I call it Boomerang." Jiro said and from the word itself, it was more than enough for Momo to understand. 

"That's coo-" Momo wasn't able to finish her sentence when the fallen debris exploded and came out a coughing Bado and across him is Kaehyun who also had a nerve popped out from his head and used the nearby pillar as support to stand up. 

"You !" Bado was enraged at Momo that he instantly shot her with a laser beam and she was in the perfect position to deflect it by encircling her hand forming a spinning wind-shielg but what Momo didn't notice was a shot from Kaehyun's side, a shot rather strange since it just landed perfectly right in front of her.

"Momo-san get out of the-!" Before Jiro could even get near Momo it already exploded with lots of the sticky substances shoots out in the air and Jiro was forced to hide in a cocoon-like wind.

"Hah, that's what you get for being so cocky." Kaehyun uttered and spitted.

"Wait a minute.." Sure enough the place was once again coated with dust as things exploded but once it cleared out Kaehyun and Bado can see Momo inside a yellow sphere, unharmed and unscathed. 

"Momoring!" Mina immediately went towards the blonde's side and checked her pulse. 

"Another unfamiliar pest!" Bado and Kaehyun was about to lunged towards them when a wall of water that came out from nowhere separated them from the two girls.

"Mina! How is she?" Ashe asked.

"She's fine although I have to heal her because she's quite beaten up." Mina answered and quickly proceeds to use her powers. 

"She put up a good fight--aghk!" Jiro was on the other side, his shirt was completely torn apart and he was stopping a bleeding arm when a sharp object hit him during the explosion earlier and a handful of sticky substance also got him on his abdomen, hardening the said area and making it hard for him to move.

"Jiro! Don't move! Hang in there!" Ashe stopped the ravenette from moving any further and went up to his aid. She turned to Mina who's done assissting the Aeris-user.

"Mina!" Ashe helped Jiro up and brought him to where Mina and Momo i
