Chris looked at her smiling lightly.
"That may be so...but your title as guardian suits you well even as of today."
Chris slowly got up and began jumping up and down as he was still drained.
"You may not be the same Cat...and I cannot fill the huge void Nathan left."
"But either way consider me your teammate, If Weiss goes down it will take some work...and I am sure he is not alone."
Chris continued to jump.

Cat smirked, slowly getting up. She liked the idea of having a teammate once more.
"Weiss is a tough one though I question why he wants this land."
The woman slowly walked past Chris, heading for the door. "I shall be going home, to collect my strength. I'll see you here tomorrow."

Animosa sighed walking through a small rural town on the outskirts of the blast most of the people had evacuated and the city was left at the foothill of a large stone tower. She walked into a library and searched the shelves till she found a rather thick book entitled "War" She thumbed through the pages and began to look through the history of the land until she found a page of the guardians that protected it. There was a woman who seemed oddly familiar, "THAT WOMAN!" she sad recalling the older lady who spoke to her about being a teacher and she grabbed the book and her staff and bolted out of the library.

Chris nodded slowly.
"I'll see you then."
Chris sat there several minutes after cat had left, he sighed walking out towards the machine, he began pressing a few buttons and put the timer on for 3 hours.
He made his way back into the training room as the door closed.
Chris unsheathed his katanas as his cloak fell to the floor.
3 droids formed around Chris as he smirked lightly holding his katanas out to his sides.
"I suppose the only way to get better is to push yourself past breaking point."
The droids came towards Chris from opposite directions as he took a fighting stance.
The first droid brought his right arm towards him as Chris lowered to the ground sending his right katana towards the outstretched arm slicing it off, the other two droids would then bring there legs in a full swing towards Chris as he rolled back the droids legs would collide.
The three droids would then explode, Chris was sent back from the three combined blasts, he slowly got up as three more appeared.
He let out a sigh before continuing.

Cat did not follow the forest pathway, nor did she start to walk to her cabin by the lake. She was on her way to a small town. She shifted through a small bag as she walked, digging for chainge. "Where is that silver peice," she mumbled to herself. The bakeneko's body began to age, becoming soon an old lady once more. The village she headed to knew her as an old cat. Primarily a human village, they would be scared and possibly dangerous if she showed up in a much younger form. As she entered the town, she headed for the farmer's market.

Animosa made it to the outskirts of town before she stopped panting for breathe, "Maybe you should think before sprinting off. I doubt you knew where this woman was." A male voice spoke deep and emotionless. Animosa spun around and saw the raven staring back at her. "Are you surprised I can speak?" it asked.
"Well ofcourseIamsurprisedfuckingbird is TALKING!" she let out entirely to fast words mixing into each other. She held the book of to the side ready to fling it at the bird but stopped as the bird chuckled at her.
"Continue on, I will try to help you as best I can, cause I believe there is only one left of the original guardians." He said and Animosa calculated this.
"So you know who the last guardian is?" She asked and the bird nodded, "And your not going to tell me are you." The bird then again nodded.
"The Destroyer told you to find this information, not I." He explained as Animosa growled in frustration.

After a small shopping trip, Cat was leaving the farmer's market and into the town. In one hand, a basket of fruit and vegetables. In the other, a paper bag of meat. Cat's tail was high in the air, clearly happy with the products bought. Nothing else was on her mind but to have a relaxing, recharged evening.
Her ears twitched as she picked up a new, recognizable scent. Animosa. Yes. Thats who it was. There was another but it was faint. A bird. A bird she knew. "oi yo yo yo," She mumbled to herself.

Animosa threw her arms over her head, "I never know with you cursed bird." She said looking at the bird, "So Could you give me a hint at least?" Rave smirked the beak seeming to grow crooked all the while as he then opened to speak, "She is younger than you remember, try searching for food." He said as he flew off and Animosa screamed after him, "OI I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU YA BLASTED BIRD!"

Cat started to walk toward Animosa, following her scent. The raven's scent left quickly, leaving Cat to wonder if she even really smelt it. She figured not, pushing it off. Maybe it was because Animosa reminded her of an old comrade. Yes, that must've been why...Cat sighed, chucking to herself.
After a bit, Cat could see Animosa's back. "Are you hungry?" She questioned, alerting the woman of her presence.

Animosa turned around her eyes twitching with angry toward the blasted bird. "Hey." She said her mood changing completely. The woman almost looked completely identical to the one in the picture. "That sounds wonderful but I also have a few questions for you." She said showing her the book. "I was doing research about the light demons and I heard of one that was a Guardian at one time. Do you know anything about that?" she asked showing her the page with the painting of the guardians before a guild.

Cat leaned in, staring at the photo for quite a bit. She smiled. Standing straight, Cat nodded her head. "The one you're referring to," Cat pressed her finger against Nathan's image in the book, "Is named Nathan. I can tell you with certainty, he's not the light demon you're looking for." Cat started to walk past Animosa, heading for her cabin north of the lake. "Let's get cookin'," She continued to smile, "You can ask me anything you want at dinner."

Animosa nodded feeling a shift in her eye something in it and if Cat were to be watching her she would see a flash of green in the usual brown. "Alright then lets get cooking." She said unaware of the dive into subconscious the curator took.

Blood fell to the floor as Chris finished off another set of droids.
He dropped his blood covered katanas as 6 droids formed infront of him.
Chris popped his neck as he held up his fists, one covered by a metal.
"This would be nothing for him.."
Chris wiped blood off of his face bringing his right arm out to his side as his image took off shaking the ground as his speed rose, he approached the first one as it swung at him he turned sideways sliding and sending his metal fist into the droids stomach sending it completely through the droid as it fell to the ground exploding as Chris continued to slide coming to a halt.
Two then charged towards Chris, as they neared him he would jump into the air above them bending back and grabbing one by his head as he flipped the droid over him and into the other droid, Chris falling to the ground and rolling to the side in order to escape another explosion, the explosion still managing to hit him slightly as the other three droids closed in on him.
Chris growled as he spun getting up onto his feet, he bent down sending his right elbow into a droid behind him before turning and sending the same right fist forward into the next incoming droid, his speed clearly improving.
However the third droid managed to get an opening as it sent its knee into Chris's side, Chris's eyes widened coughing up blood as his body was sent flying off to the side rolling along the ground, the droid wasted no time in dashing off towards Chris's location as Chris came to a stop coughing and trying to get up, the droid grabbed Chris by his throat as Chris grabbed the droids wrist.
His hand began to glow with a bright light.
"Just die already."
The wrist on the droid lit up as the light caused and explosion taking off the droids wrist, Chris's body sent into the sir and landing heavily back on the ground.
"Simulation off."
A voice said as the computer turned off.
Chris looked over towards the door as he seen an image of a man, before his eyes closed and he passed out.

"Did you decide what you want to do?" Cat questioned, slowing her pace to walk beside Animosa. She was referencing to the past conversation about Animosa becoming a teacher. "How do you like your steak cooked by the way?"

Animosa shrugged holding her staff atop a shoulder, "I like my steaks well done andI think I am going to continue my research for a bit. I have some new leads and this place seems to be boiling with information. Like that man who has that strange blue light has the ability to scatter well built bonds, I am curious about that source of power it may prove more use than the light." She explained not mentioning the crazed run in with the spirit world and the strange purple ghost.

Cat smile fell, immediately knowing who she was talking about. She wasn't happy Animosa had a run in with Weiss. What could she do though? She had only just met her anyways. "Be wary of that man," Cat began to warn, "He is dangerous. I wouldn't want you hurt."
They soon reached the cabin. It looked as old as Cat did at the moment. It was covered in moss and ivy. The trees were thicker in this area, so it was was wonder that this house hadn't had a branch fall through and break the roof. One of the windows were broken.
Cat went to the door, pushing it open with her foot. The cabin was small, the only other room was bathroom. Surprisingly, the inside was spit spot. Cat set her groceries on the table. She reached back and let her gray hair down from the bun. "Ah, much better to be home."
It was in that moment Cat's body began to generate into a much, much younger look then even with Chris. She looked like the young girl in the book Animosa carried now.
"What would you like to know my friend?" Cat said kneeling in front of the dead fireplace with the paper bag of meat. She snapped her fingers and a flame snapped to life and she started cooking.

Animosa's eye twitched at the transformation and resisting the urge to ask about he age reversing powers she referred back to her purpose, "I had seen Weiss's powers they are great, his ability to do such damage is frightening and I was researching about the past and I came across the Guardians, I was wondering if it was possible you would be able to stop him?" She asked sitting on the ground beside the younger Cat looking at the fire burning brightly.

"That light demon you're searching for," Cat said, "his brother is Nathan." She watched the fire for a moment, concentrating. "Nathan was, I guess you could say, Weiss' rival. But Nathan has passed on. His brother, Chris, and I are training together to stop Weiss' path of destruction. In our current states, I don't think we could defeat him. I think though, that Chris might even excel past Nathan given the training. It's hard to say because we've got a lot to do and not enough time to do it. I'm not even sure what Weiss has in store."

The fire crackled as Animosa thought, "I saw Chris he helped me after I got caught in the blast. I don't like what Weiss does, but there is little I can do to stop him. Guess I should just stick with researching." She said almost defeated then looked off to the side looking at the tattoos on her arms seeming almost useless in the sheer power of others. "I do wish you luck in your training though."

Cat looked at Animosa in protest. "No. Don't ever say you're useless. No one is useless." Cat smiled, examining Animosa's tattoos. "That ability of yours, it could really come in handy....Why don't you join Chris and I's training tomorrow? I can't guarantee you'll become a super hero, but I know you can probably further your ability even more. There might even be a way you can help against Weiss."
Cat turned her attention back to the cooking meat. She picked herself up, heading toward the cabinets and retrieving two plates and utensils. When she came back, Cat served up one of the steaks onto a plate. She offered it to Animosa, a knife and fork on the plate with it.
