At the defeat of the monk energy swept through the tower awakening an anomaly within the tower a Knightscream Assassian and his mount which is a wolf-tyrannosaur that spews acid. The Assassin was on the sixth floor. The Assassin suited up in his armor and began to activate his shadow and blood Qi and began to circulate it. The floors below trembled and the party wondered what happened.
Meanwhile on The fifth floor, An Hue suitted up in her new Nsyium armor and slowly restarted moving her injured arm and Chui spoon fed her everything even though An Hue asked him not to but she didn't really complain that much. As Jax finished making up food. He set it down and everyone dug into the food. Ba Ye and Ostro were having a food fight and Shea had got hit in the crossfire. Shea in disgust turns to Bis Duaa and said " Control your man." Bis Duaa responded "You can say that when you have one." Bis Duaa walks over and kisses Ba Ye on the cheek. As Ostro walked away to go help Sky, Shea glared at Bis Duaa. Bis Duaa stuck her tongue out at Shea and returns to her seat. Defeated Shea could only look at Jax with tears in her eyes. Shea takes Jax's left hand and wipes away her tears. Jax looks at Shea and said "Is my food that bad or is it too spicy."
Sky and Ostro are making blankets from bear hide that Ostro had taken from a rank one fire bear. Ostro winked at Sky while he was enchanting the hide with the fire core of the bear so that the blankets kept warm when in use and said " Maybe we could share one?" "In your dreams." Sky said. Ostro looked deep into her eyes and said "But you are my dream." Sky choked for a second on what Ostro said. Sky put her finger on his nose and slid it down making Ostro's nose flick back into its natural position. "Maybe later." Sky walked away with her outer emotion calm but with her inner emotions all flustered trying not to let it escape.
On the sixth floor, the Assassin howled as the sudden surge of energy flooded into her body. The Assassin calmed down and rose in rank to a rank 8 blood shadow assassin. The guardian of the tower which was a rank 12 Sky Sword Spirit flew to the nearest team which is our heroes. The spirit landed a few meters away form the team so that she would not scare the party.
After a while the party met the Guardian "Hello tower climbers I am the tower's guardian spirit Hana, I have a request for you." "I need your help killing an Assassin on the sixth floor, she is dangerous and could kill everyone in this tower" "I'll have to ask the team" said Shea. Shea walked over to Jax and asked him to see if it was alright to help the spirit. Jax said "We'll we might as well help since it could kill us either way." Chui was concerned that An Hue would not be able to fight in the battle with the assassin or that if she did she would die. Chui asked Hana to protect An Hue during the fight. Hana said "Not only will I protect her I will teach the four close combat people(Jax,Shea,Chui and Ostro) how to fight effectively and not just on emotion. And so the training began...
