The prince, the pirate and the pimp searched in the forest behind The Nightless Days Manor.
After some time the pimp raised a torn ribbon piece at the prince and cried towards pirate.
"You truly are a Little Heathen! You dare lie to my face!" Lord Riddle scoffed.
"Your expecting me to believe that my brothers and I were here last night...And we stole your spirit stone and possibly kidnapped a princess.
Only after vandalizing your courtyard with ribbons and stealing all your money and customers. I'm not entirely convinced, you don't strike me as a man to let himself suffer a loss." Rai Shen looked at Lord Riddle with mock enthusiasm.
"You must have really hit your head hard last night to not remember all your previous transgressions. And where's my bluestone you took last night."
"..." Shen started walking off on his own.
"Hmhmm I liked you better last night. Go call forth that rouge personality from before... this ice block is so ... dull. I feel bad for your loved ones to have to deal with your—ACK..."
Lord Riddle was choked up by Rai Shen's icy aura.
"Shut up Ugly."Rai Shen hits Lord Riddle in the back of his head. Sheesh this guy and his face are so annoying. Shen pulls the green ribbon from Riddles hand and smiles.
His Little Shin'er ... she is too wicked.
Don't worry Big Brother will clean this up for you.
"You Umi, what is your contracted spirit beast? Ugly over there said your beast could find what I'm looking for. Explain to me how." Rai Shen stands at a respectful distance from Umi and questioned.
Umi stopped laughing at Lord Riddles aggrieved expression, straightened himself out and summoned his contracted spirit beast and explained how it could help.

At the Chiefs mansion in SwayLeaf.
A petite woman held onto Chen's hand as they exited through a broken door that once closed off the courtyard.
"My husband is still alive and in the prison underneath the main courtyard let's go Chen'er-."
"Don't worry Auntie Yi, I'll get Uncle back ...you do me a favor and stay here. I know what your thinking and .. If you follow me you can possibly get hurt then it'll be hard to help your husband if you both ended up in bad conditions. So can you please stay here where I know your safe."
Auntie Yi agreed reluctantly and sat down where Chen left her.
Chen set up a protection array around her and left. It didn't take him long to venture near the main courtyard. Chen made quick work clearing out the evil chiefs subordinates and freeing the previous town chief from his imprisonment.
Chen jumped over the wall running along the roofs tiles to the nearby guard post.
'Tch Even Old Mao had better guards protecting the fort.' Chen hit the back of a knight guarding the back entrance near the ruins; of the main Courtyard named 'Entwined Branches'.
He pulled the body to sit upright against the wall, he didn't want to trip over him on the way out.
"Chen."
"Pst Chen.. are you dead- done yet? Little Heathen and her gang are heading back. Finish up quickly." A voice excitedly echoed through Chen's pocket.
Chen silently pulled at his hair in frustration.. this master of his..
He pulled out a clear stone and spoke into "Yes Master."
Chen put the stone away and ran into the ruins beneath the 'Entwined Branches' Courtyard.

Little ShiiShii followed the tracks from the carriage to the side of a gated wall that surrounded a big mansion.
Little ShiiShii jumped on the hood of the carriage and noticed markings leading up the wall were someone pushed off.
Little ShiiShii hovers above the carriage, manipulating the air around into a rotating whirlwind underneath his feet to lift him over the wall into a courtyard.
Little ShiiShii stepped down quietly, nonchalantly scouting the area. There were men groaning on the floor in pain some froze at Little ShiiShii's unexpected arrival.
"Hey kid! Hurry go call the master back home, the Chief will surely reward you! Just run and tell him that his 'Entwined Branches' Courtyard is under attack!" A guard ordered around, before checking on another man face down in the mud.
He's never suffered such indignation before, just who was that Demon possessed man who attacked them out of nowhere.
Little ShiiShii walked around both men and pushed open the door entering without hesitation.
"Hey kid what the hell!"
"Hey little brat where do you think you are to just enter the Chiefs courtyard!"
'Kitten... did you get cleaned off? Your uncles servant's spiritual energy left traces here not to long ago. Do you want me to return or stand by and assist?'
'Meoww' Shinahs cute girly giggle responded through her Mindscape.
Little ShiiShii heart warmed up at the sound, imaging her adorably mischievous smile.
..Cute..
His mouth twitched, this girl can never be serious.
'Hehe... it's odd around here I know you feel it too so stay and look around. Chen doesn't act carelessly so be careful. We'll catch up shortly.'
'Mm ...There's a battle downstairs, I'll check out, it's between a Spirit Master and a Spirit King leveled beast..'
'Quickly..Go check it out, I'll be there soon!'
Shinah stands tall in her newly changed black and red robes, her slim body making her gender ambiguous and valiant. Her long black hair tied up in a high ponytail. Her eyes shined a bright ocean-blue as she checked the metallic guards on her wrist and ankles before taking off towards Little ShiiShii.
"Ready?..We gon' run this town tonight.." Shinah posed and walked off confidently- laughing as they made their way to the Chiefs mansion.
