Ikari watches the ma carefully, dodging the blasts. "I just got
here, but I'm gonna have to destroy their property... Fun." She
says, then grabs a thorny branch from a nearby bush and see it as
one would with a sword. However, it proves to be rather
ineffective. She then decides to use it as a scapegoat, throws it
at the man, then quickly grabs Jessi and sprints down the hallway.
Unfortunately for the two of them, the hallway was long, and a
thorny branch doesn't exactly buy someone very much time if at all.
"That was rather annoying, but... Now you die!" The man shouted,
then sending a beam down the hallway. There was nowhere to dodge,
nowhere to go. However, they still had hope. A bright blue light
was sent right in between the two of them, proving to be a greater
force then the incoming beam. Behind Jessi and Ikari stood a girl
holding an odd shaped bow. The Goddess Bow. It then all came clear
to Ikari. The hallway they had just ran down was the hallway that
lead to the room of the sacred artifacts, which also gave a reason
for the Reds to be here. Behind the room stood two others, a large
man with a giant cannon, and next to him was a cloaked figure
holding a hammer.
"Jessi, wait! These three can help. We just need to get out of the
way so that they can do their work. Okay?" Ikari says, and as she
does, the clocked figure hits their hammer against the ground. At
once, they are taken back in time for about a minute, putting them
back at the entrance of the hallway. Next, the man wielding the
cannon shoots it, obliterating the hallway, and along with it, the
Red member.
"Alright, then let's focus on getting you some bandages for your
wounds." Ikari says, dragging him along.
"Wait!" A voice calls out. The lady with the bow runs over to them.
"We need your help. It's likely what the Red's are here for is just
down that hallway. Cn you guard it for us? We will come back with
medical assistance for the boy." She says in a rush.
“I...it can’t wait.” Jessi murmured. “I could bleed out in
minutes.” He was holding a hand over one of the worst wounds,
trying to staunch the steady flow of blood.

The cloaked man with the hammer looks at Jessi, then hits the
ground with it. In the next moment, they are right back with
medical supplies for Jessi and are getting Ikari ready to go fight.
Jessi winced as his wounds were felt with, his eyes half-open as he
was sat down due to his blood loss. His breathing steadied slowly
as the blood was staunched fully.

After the people managed to get Jessi's wounds closed, Ikari got
up. She closed her eyes, thinking deeply. Inn the next moment, she
turned bit by bit into an exact replica of the man who tried to
attack the four artifacts. "What are the Red's after? Information?
If so, I can give them a fake and lead them into thinking they can
retreat." Ikari says to the four of them.
The man with the rocket launcher chimed in. "They should be after
the Red sword. While they created it, only we have the correct main
to wield it... However, that is not something that they know." He
explains. "Alright... Can we make a fake then?" Ikari said,
explaining her plan to them. "You should probably check the
illusion unit." The girl with the bow said, then went back down the
hallway.
"Alright then... Jessi, are you okay to head into the illusion
magic unit with me? It seems like they have defending that point
covered. Are you ready? Take the time you need." Imari says to him.
Ikari helps him up, and uses herself to brace him while they go
toward the Illusion magic unit. "Da**... Really sucks that I can't
be my usual self in a situation like this." Ikari muttered while
walking along.
"The sig- Oh yeah, I should probably change to my normal self while
walking there and asking them for a replica illusion!" She shouts
at herself, then changing back.
"You know, your lucky to be crippled. Otherwise I would beat you to
death for that... But killing someone as weak as would be no fun!"
She says, walking up the steps to the illusion magic unit.
"Who are you?" A tall lady in glasses asks them.
"I'm Ikari, and this is Jessi." She says, then quickly explaining
why they where there.
"Yeah, that seems like the best idea we've got... I can't make a
solid replica, but I can attach an illusions to you that will move
with you. Just make sure you get eye contact with the person that
would hold it. Okay?" She says to them, then starting to use her
magic.
Jessi laughed again before bursting into a fit of coughing, which
left his throat raw and painful. He was watching the woman
anxiously, his anemically pale skin looking even more pale than
before.
