Ryker: Yurie, The clocktower!
Yurie: What's happening over there!?
Officer: Sir! Behind you!
Ryker: Yur-
Distracted by the battle erupting at the Watchtower, one of the Shades teleports behind Ryker and Yurie landing a critical blow on Yurie and Knocking Ryker off the roof.
Ryker: Damn it! JetStream!
Ryker uses Jetstream to soften his impact after falling 4 stories but as he looks up he sees Yurie and 2 officers in a battle with multiple Shades.
Yurie: Iron Slash!
As Ryker looks around he finds that he and all 30 of the officers with him were surrounded by a wall of Shades.
Ryker: Wha- where did they come from! They just appeared?
Suddenly the Shades that had been attacking Yurie and the officers just stopped and returned to the wall of their allies. Yurie, out of instinct, jumps down to Ryker who softens her fall with wind magic.
Yurie: Are you ok? That looked bad.
Ryker: I should be asking you that question, he bashed you in the back of the head.
Yurie: I'm fine if you are. Don't worry about me.
Ryker: I'm good. Get ready, these guys are unpredictable and I can tell by looking at them that they aren't anything to scoff at. Everyone, get ready!
The group of officers get into a strong formation, preparing to fight despite being heavily outnumbered. Despite being capable of only Intermediate magic most officers are trained in 2-3 different fighting styles in case of emergency. They are also taught how to use martial arts and magic in unison to gain a further advantage over their opponents.
Ryker: Looks like I was right.
Yurie: About what?
Ryker: I was the main target today.
Estrea: Ah yes, there they are. My two favorite mutts.
Ryker: Tch
Estrea: So how have you two been doing? I heard you were training quite hard in my absence.
Ryker: Where's the Leviathan!
Estrea: I'd prefer if you wouldn't interrupt me, I may get annoyed and do something rash.
Yurie: We didn't ask how you fe-
Estrea: Was I speaking to you? No! I'm still quite disturbed by your lack of respect Demon. Silence!
Ryker: Leave her out of this. What do you want?
Estrea: My master has taken great interest in you. You see, he believes you to have a certain affinity with one of our missing sins. Envy to be exact. So if you would be so kind to hand yourself over to my sister then I will at least spare the Ice Witch and the children.
Ryker: Assuming I did accept this offer, how could I trust you to keep your word?
Estrea: I may be willing to do anything for my master but I do have morals and killing women and children is something I'd rather not do. I do have a conscience you know.
Yurie: Do you trust him?
Ryker: Trusting someone and believing them are two different things. He won't get either from me. No deal! I know damn well what Leviathans will do to get what they want, Lying and deception is no exception.
Estrea: Such Greed is lost on me, if you're really that selfish then so be it. Kill them all MY CHILDREN!
