They are here. Flesh Wound is here. At the hotel and time to make sure you and Levy are safe. Time to take action.  

Enjoy.

~~~~~

The hotel was still in one piece as you know of. Hand in hand you and Levy run to your room to inspect. You get to the door and stay quiet.

"Levy." You whisper. "Stay behind me."

"Got it."

You slowly crack the door handle and kick it in. Your magic flowing through both hands. A check behind the door shows nothing. Bedroom seems untouched. But to the closet. Open the door and it shows nothing. Why does something seem fishy? The kitchen? "Levy you okay?"

"I have you. Just nervous."

"Hello?" You slowly creep in the kitchen.

"Sir is this a bad time?" Called a girly voice.

"Huh?" It turned out to just be housekeeping. Yet somehow blonde seemed to be the trend. But no way she could hurt anyone. She had the maid outfit on and a pink blush on her face.

"Sir don't look at me with that lust in your eyes. Please?"

"It's not lust. Look. Their is an evil guild in the hotel."

"Which one?"

"Flesh Wound."

"Wait. Are you a member?"

"No. They're my enemy actually. Long story."

She covered her eyes. "You're... You're the survivor aren't you?"

"Don't remind me. People think it's an award worthy of the finest ale and food great for a King. It's not. You try living like I have the last few days. Guess what? It's not pretty. I came to see of my room has been sabotaged. Now if you excuse me, you can carry on with business. I on the other hand need to inform management and save the lady that brought me here."

Levy watched you walk to the door and she followed you. "Sorry for the trouble." She waved. And to think my boyfriend went from broken to strong willed in this short amount of time. Not just me this time. But for anyone in this building.

You head to your suitcase. Going through clothes and such. "Levy I apologize. You look very stunning but I need you to change."

"Awwww. I like this dress." She pouted.

"I don't know if they spotted us or not. What else do you have to wear?"

"I got a black. Was saving this one. A little short but it will work."

"Guess I'll go black too. Incognito in the sense."

"Kind of."

You take off your dress shirt and look in the mirror. You look at the guild symbol on your arm. "Levy? Is it hard being with me?"

Levy was just frozen. She looked hurt. "Why would you say such a thing?"

"Because I don't want to put you in danger."

"But... it's okay."

"But how?"

She kissed you. "I love you. That's why. That's why it's worth it. We will get through this. I've read so many situations like this I can almost know. I figured out what I'm getting into. It's scary and quite edgy. But I can say worth it. Fair?"

"Fair. I love you." You put your black dress shirt on and do another mirror check. "Good?"

You looked around you a whole 360°. "Sexy actually. Lead the way."

She follows behind you in the hallway as you go to the front desk. You ring the bell. Standing there about 20 seconds go by. Another ring and fifteen. Then you got impatient. Ding! Ding! Ding! Finally a grumpy man comes to the desk.

"Gee thank you for making sure the bell works for me. What can I do for you?"

"Flesh Wound the evil guild is in the hotel."

"They are?" He gasped. "What are they planning?"

"I don't..." A huge blast was heard as rumbles and shakes could be heard from the main lobby. Clearly some sort of explosion. "Not shocking. Sir I need everyone to take cover."

"Granted. Security will be on it."

Yeah cheap jewel security isn't going to stop these guys. "Levy let's move."

"What do we do?"

"Get Alice and get out."

"You worried about Leia? I know she's someone I don't like but what about her?"

You stop. Had to think about that. Leia... she's in there. That's right. But why do I feel like I shouldn't? Something is just so off. "She can defend herself. Let's move." You take her hand and book it. Running back into the casino. Everyone was running in all different directions. Some in circles for some stupid reason. You both out of the pile a slow woman. No doubt it was her. "Alice!" You called.

"Boy what's going on here?" She cried.

"Alice. Let me carry you. I'll bring you to your room. We're leaving. It's not safe." You knelt down.

"Thank you." She piggie backed on your shoulders and ran to the stairs. Some just running straight out of the place. Others to the beach for cover. You ran up and dropped Alice up at her door. Then you and Levy go inside to grab your bags.

"Good thing we didn't unpack." Said Levy catching her breath.

"Much. Thankful for that. Let's help Alice. She's important."

"Because she's a friend hasn't she?" Smiled Levy.

You can't help but crack a smile too. "Well she was technically paying us to stay here and have a vacation. Can't bite the hand that feeds you. I'm just trying to do the right thing. She needs our help. Ready?"

"With you I am."

You head over to Alice's room and knock on the door. "Can an old woman pack her bags in peace please?" She grumbled.

"Is your sister okay?" Called Levy.

"Check on that pain in the rear for me." She yelled.

"Ummmm." You sweatdropped. "Okay then." Over to next door. Another knock yet again as you hear people trying to clear out. "Excuse me. Alice sent us."

"What does my hag sister want now?" Called the voice.

"The hotel is being infiltrated by evil guilds." You cried.

"Why didn't you say so. Get me out." She opened the door with a luggage bag on wheels. "You escorting me or what?"

Geez. Alice was right. Mean much. "Once she's ready we leave."

She examines you head to toe. "You from the papers?"

"Ugh!"

"Nevermind. Let's go already. Alice you dingbat let's get a move on. I have a few more years left."

Good Lord man. They really are rival sisters. "Alice ready?" You call out hesitant.

"Fine. I'm here. I'm ready. What's with all the yelling?"

Hearing all these two elderly women shout for no good reason when their is a crisis makes a person wonder. Everyone has bigger fish to fry. Safety is number one. And as soon as the whole crew gathered around a second blast went off. Everyone hits the ground and covers their head. This a full scale operation. But for what? What was their purpose? Would they cone all this way to set explosions over a hotel to capture one man?

"Ladies. To the train station. Let's go. I'll keep guard."

With the elderly in front, Levy in the middle, and you watching from behind it was time to move. The floor was no empty as so was the staircase. So others left everything behind and took off. Probably was the smart thing to do. The reason you went back was the journal, Levy's borrowed book, and the sister. With three major things with meaning, no way you could just leave.

(Try listening to Open Your Heart by Crush 40 during this. The Boss Version. It's Sonic Adventure.)

With still several cries, screams, and the sound of structures falling apart everyone is trying to get out. Several getting elbowed. Some running into the town for shelter as others go for the open route. The group of you head to the train.

Time is just going by. Watching the clock by the train station. Tick tick. Tick tick. Tick tick. C'mon dammit you're twenty minutes late. Don't tell me it's not coming. What's next? I go back to the guild by foot? Give me a break.

"Hey Cutie." Called a voice.

Is it her? You turn around. "Leia?"

"Glad all of you are safe. How long you've been waiting?"

"Almost a half hour. It's behind schedule."

"I'm guessing you're waiting too?" Sighed Levy.

"That's right baby. I'm going home." She winked.

"Alright."

A ping was heard from a speaker. "Train to Magnolia is arriving. Repeat. Train to Magnolia is arriving."

"That's us. Come Cutie and ladies. Let's all grab a both and get home safely."

Oh great. Just what I need. Levy and Leia are oil and water. Just great.

~~~~~

Something seems fishy about Leia. She a homewrecker? She no good? And was her and train arriving just luck? Maybe. But something is off.
