Never thought it would Happen.

Ace could feel Claudia touching Julia's mind, he walked over and with a flick of his wrist his old duster appeared and gently floated down over her, as he hadn't noticed if Setsuna brought the clothes he had begged for.

Her looked at Set and nodded in appreciation then looked back at Claudia.

"That's why I joined her, I was hoping to be able to act as an overflow valve but her vitals fell to quickly for that to be effective, I know I have had my own issues in the past, but should one if us die.."

He looked at Julia, then Set knowing the words to come would piss her off he decided to leave it there, the more he came to his senses over the years, the more he learned of friendship and allowed himself to not only be depended on but depend on others, he had one regret.

Daniel took the headbutt letting the force roll through him, he saw it coming, not from a body language or forsight, just a vamps speed, allowing him to loosen his muscles and let the force go.

He straighten back up and looked at Lee who should have felt like he had just headbutt a bowling ball off a training dummy.

"Do you feel 'bectah'?"(better choked in blood)

Daniel blinked for a moment as blood filled the back of his throat and flowed down his nose showing no sign of stopping, he reached up and touched it in amazement he wasn't healing or at least his healing was greatly diminished.

~~~

Wind trotted ahead hearing the commotion then stopped sharply and rose his head and looked around, his generally sharp spectral form started to go blurry as he rose his head in alarm and raised the very same in a howl just as another wave struck.

~~~

Ace being linked to Wind could feel his alarm, he looked at Claudia.

"Another ones coming" he turned "Set was the school hit last time?"

[hellcomet]

"Hit by what?"

Setsuna raised an eyebrow in question, she holds the robe she brought out to him. Claudia turned confusion also showing on her face.

~~~~~~~

Zack braced himself he had felt the wave of denial coming this time with his outreached sense'. "OK, I think I got where your coming from now."

~~~~~~~

Lee gave a look of disgust and shoved past Daniel into the Bar.

Julias mind like a feral animal at first recoiled from the touch, then sensing the lack of harm, the sense of compassion and most importantly her own sister rested like that of a tamed beast.

Noticing Julias breathing and body relax in her grasp he let out a sigh of relife, his veins were slowly starting to bulge blue.

"You had the right of it, I am not a mage, Though I try to be a Jack of all trade magic never came easy to me like it did her" Once Setsuna chimed in he lowered his head "Some students, those not as dry as her come to me, or are brought to me when they don't want the school knowing they dabbled to deep, pushed beyond there limits, its something I teach, Not with Magic mind you and I have pretenses about not using the same teachings in magic, some dont listen.." he looks at the water fall "I made it by filtering the blood lake, stripping the blood for the base latent mana"

He looked between the both of them before slowly his hand went to his chest, his heart pounding in his head, He knew when he tried what he did he wouldn't escape unphased. His face contorted in pain but with a grunt he buried it the best he could.

"Claudia, You are free to take her if it is your will, You don't trust me nor I you in anything but this, I know you will protect her."

He turned to Setsuna, his muscles visibly convulsing under his clothes.

"My mind of matter isn't" Ace flopped over sideways as the effects of having half his body ripped out and them subsequently replaced caught up, shock along with his body not knowing whats foreign anymore had it fighting itself from the inside out and he lay seizing on the floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daniels heard rocked back blood spurting down, his body didn't move and by the time he brought his head back his nose was already back in place the blood being soaked into his pores.

"Ow." He continued to look at Lee. "Do you feel better?, Your right I was part of Zace, What demons has Zack drug up in his quest to over power Jace? How many died in those dungeons to find him the artifacts he sought? how many people did Jace kill in servitude? Do you all feel it ok because because of your comradery?" He waved his hand to the tavern "This isnt a battle field nor Seicage, where did each of those spells, those bullets land? I bet you can tell me in aught point five seconds after your computer heard me ask but in the heat of the moment did any one of you care?"
