Seeing the light coalesce, Amy charged in and attempted to make the figure remember her by the large bruise she wanted to give him. She was a fraction of a second too late, her strike missing the Horseman and instead smacking the metal bedframe, sounding a loud noise through the room. When the light dissipated, Amy was panting. not out of exhaustion, but of fury. This person...whoever he was...she would take him down or die trying. "Lucas...don't believe a word that man said, you hear me?" She started to collapse the staff and attempted to regain some semblance of composure. Even though she just pledged the next part of her life to knocking the man off his High Horse, tactics were just as vital. More so, even. RPG OST - Promise in the E.R.

Lucas covered his eyes to stop himself from being blinded completely. When the light faded he saw that the Horsemen was gone. His eyes immediately went to Mora. It seemed that she was unharmed. As he stood there he knew now who he was going to go after. Who he was concerned with more when it came to handling his business. As he looked at Mora he sighed and thought to himself.
'Barbariccia...you will pay for this...I swear it.'

Amy sighed. This was going to be an uphill battle for everyone involved.
"You'll have to wait in line then, she wants to take out Shizuma first...speaking of which, we should probably find him...lets go."

"No...go find him on your own...I'm not leaving Mora's side." said Lucas as he looked at the Duel Theory Professor.
While it was important that they find Shizuma...to Lucas...his Sister's health was far more important. Once she was safe...that was when he would go look for the monster responsible for hurting his sister.

"Right, sorry...I'll leave you here. But keep in mind that the man you just faced has anything but good intentions in mind. Our choices define us, don't let your sister down by allying yourself with him..." Amy then turned and left, closing the door on her way out. She still needed to find the other professor, wherever he was...

Currently, Shizuma was in a meditative position on the table that Dr. Wylt had left him on. He would have called and contacted Mizuki by now but he had left his trenchcoat with Mora...as well as something else of importance. While he sat there...the images of what transpired flew through his mind. He shuddered as he tried to face the helplessness he faced while trapped by Barbariccia and Ramla.
At this point, he hoped that his partner was having better luck interacting with Mora and consoling her than he was trying to get these images out of his mind. He continued to meditate, the way that he was taught by Grandmaster Kojiro. He also had to get ready...for he knew that the next battle would be soon.

Amy eventually found Shizuma in one of the open rooms. He seemed to be lost in thought, or possibly something else for that matter. But there were a lot of things that needed to be brought up, things that probably couldn't wait. She knocked on the doorframe, hoping to get his attention.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything...but this is urgent. We need to talk."

When Shizuma heard Amy's voice he nodded and came out of his meditative state. Looking over at Amy she could see the stitches on his right cheek and he had also recently removed his shirt as he was awaiting the fresh one that he was going to be given from the hospital.
"No you aren't...so...what's the urgent news, Amy?" asked Shizuma still with that look of dead seriousness on his face from before with Dr. Wylt.

"The second horseman made his presence known. Conquest showed up in Mora's room, said some spiel about power to Lucas, and disappeared before I could land a blow...I really want this guy taken out." She was fuming, and rightly so...but there was still a lot that had to be done before she could make a challenge.
"What happened to you? it would take more than some clawing at you to need stitches..."

"Well, that can be explained easily enough...and it coincides with the new Horseman. I too encountered a Horseman and this one was none other than Barbariccia...she is the Horseman of War now...and is out to destroy me in everyway possible." said Shizuma with a sigh. "But that would unfortunately make 3 horsemen. For Syaoran Cascada...he too is posessed by a Horseman...he was Pestilence. When I encountered them earlier...I got this cut from Barbariccia's rapier...and found out that she was the one responsible for the robbery two weeks before. She attacked Mora...and then one more appeared...Ramla Selk...she's a shadow duelist...I could sense the magic about her. She attacked me and forced me into a corner in order to protect Mora. Speaking of which...I should go see her soon..."

Amy was a bit shocked. All their intel had said only two of the horses had been let loose. Why was a third one out? They needed time to make sense of it all, but that appeared to be the one thing they didn't have.
"Well, that's a big problem...I would let Gemini rest, her brother is in with her and is kind of wound up...but there's a lot that needs to be done...we need all hands on deck ASAP, this could get ugly real fast." She thought for a few moments, before speaking again, She remembered that Shizuma had trained with the samurai weapons...if War was carrying a sword, then perhaps...
"How good are you with a jitte?"

"Luckily for you, Ginchiyo happened to also know how to use one of those. So besides her normal weapon, she taught me how to use one. I think I still have a mark or two from where she hit me for making mistakes with it." said Shizuma with a smile. "Why do you ask, Amy?"

Amy smiled slightly. Sometimes things you never expect to be useful end up being things that save you. Chekhov would be pleased.
"As I'm sure you know, the jitte is primarily a blade-catcher. And according to you, Barbariccia was carrying a rapier. I think you know where I'm going with this...If you can take her sword, you have leverage on her. And in this game, having leverage against your opponents is one of the best weapons you can get." Sure it might not be the high road, but with all the problems that the Abjects faced, they needed any advantage they could find. And if nothing else, it still deprived the horseman of her weapon.

"It is a sound idea, Amy. Though, if it comes to it...I also have at least 8 battle ready Katana's between my office and my home. I can use them if it gets that nessicary. But for now I know that at Jitte would be easier to carry. I can always hide it in my trenchcoat sleeves." said Shizuma as he looked at Amy.
Shizuma didn't like the idea of carrying anything as a weapon but his deck. But...if it came to it...he would carry a Jitte...if only as a method of proteciton.

She had been frozen in the corner, almost as if she had been frozen in a standstill or a daze, and then she finally came to, clutching her head. She shook her head quietly and managed to mumble out...
"What... happened..."
She couldn't remember much of anything. Perhaps it was the stress and shock of the incident, but everyone was gone around her. But she had to act as if nothing was wrong. She walked towards the hospital room, where she saw Mora sleeping on a bed, and Shizuma's things beside her and then she sighed, picking up his jacket, not knowing that the Eye was within one of the pockets.
"Alright, I guess I'll take this back to him now that she's alright." She walked out with the jacket in hand and then knocked on the door.
"It's Emrys." She called through Shizuma's door.

Amy nodded. "A blunted jitte would be a great defensive weapon. The risk of injury is low, but it's a great disarming weapon. There is still the problem of why we have an extra horseman on the loose however...that will be something to figure out, and fast."When the doctor knocked on the doorframe, Amy turned around and nodded a silent greeting. She was more concerned about the next move... RPG OST - In the Tank (LOGIC Theme - Gyakuten Kenji/Miles Edgeworth: Perfect Prosecutor) |

She entered the room, nodding towards Amy and held up Shizuma's coat, resting it on a place near the door. "She doesn't need this anymore, she's in capable hands." Emrys commented... but that was before more commotion was heard out in the hall.
"Oh what next." She muttered angrily underneath her breath and she walked out of the room and looked at Doctor Patean. "What now?"
"Patient. He was left comatose in an alleyway. Only injuries are a recent injury, a scar that looks like it was carved into him." The older woman looked around quietly and then patted Emrys' shoulder. "It looks like another case of your department."
"What isn't in this bloody city." Emrys murmered, rubbing her eyes. "Remind me, I've got to call home later and tell him I'm working perhaps a triple."
Patean chuckled and pushed her out to the floor.
"Alright! Get him to ward 3 on the second floor, and I don't want any complaining!" She barked to the paramedics, and then she watched for but a second as Syaoran Cascada's body passed her and past by the open doors of the wards.

"Alright, I'll search my collection at home...I'm sure I have one somewh....Oh no...Amy give me my cell from my coat." said Shizuma as his eyes went wide seeing Syaoran's body rolling by his open room.
What happened to him? It seemed the Horseman and Ramla were working fast. If they were the one's responsible for Syaoran. He had to tell Dawn and Trance...though he was scared of the rampage that Dawn might go on. He was able to stop her before a long time ago...but would he this time after she saw her son like this.

(by the way Amy, thanks for making me spaz out for nothing. When I saw the song link, I thought Gyakuten Kenji might have already been released in Japan x.x; )
Before Shizuma would have a chance to call anyone, however, his phone would start ringing. On the other end was a worried and increasingly impatient Setsuna, calling from the Takasei home
(this next part is under the assumption he answers her o.o; )
Upon hearing him answer the phone, Setsuna would begin speaking "Hello, Mr Matsuna? It's me, Setsuna. I know this sounds a bit random, but I couldn't think of anyone else to contact...I don't suppose you've seen Kyo-chan anywhere, have you? I sent him to the store to pick up a few things while I cleaned up, but he's been gone for hours...it only should have taken him about 20 minutes...half an hour at most, and I'm starting to get a little worried."

"Kyo? Your brother...um...well...you might want to get over to San Melina General...he's here because he's injured...if you want details I'll give them to you when you get here." said Shizuma as he kept a serious tone to his voice.
He hated to tell someone like Setsuna that her brother was in trouble. She didn't deserve something like this...but there was no way to say it easily.
