......Heirei and Bon were in Heirei's house, gathering things, like food supplies, and tents and such. Not anything too special. They had to make it seem like the group were planning a camping trip together; as they needed to keep the group together to heal any wounds gained from the nightmare that was before them. They couldn't risk missing any more school days at this point.
"Why do I always get the shitty jobs? I have more experience than any of you guys... Bonneillus, any ideas?" Heirei asked, as she took cans of ravioli, soup, canned pineapples and peas and put them into a duffle bag, to later stand up and reach for the ramen packets in a shelf, and a bag of chocolate chips too.
"Well, they trust you to do this. Jack kinda ran out, and Spike has to make sure the battlefield is going all good. Murmashi had to explain to Koniko what to do, and everyone else felt awkward trying to take food from their homes, let alone camping gear. There's nothing I can contribute until Ubi is taken down, so I must help you." Bon explained, as he tied the sleeping bags tightly together, and looked at a checklist of things they needed. "Hmm.. You said you guys had an electric blanket. Where is it at?" Bon asked Heirei curiously, as Heirei seemed rather annoyed, and sighed.
"It's in Keishi's room. The door's locked, so there's no way of getting it." Heirei replied, as Bon seemed almost as if he was thinking 'challenge accepted', as he wandered into the sitting room, and went to Keishi's door and squatted down. Bon simply raised his hand, and also pressed his finger on the keyhole, then simply waited. It was not long before you could hear the door unlock.
"There's nothing called 'locked' when I'm around." Bon smiled, as he gotten up, and opened the door to the rather messy tan colored room; and retrieved the blanket from Keishi's bed. "Well, we'll need to wash this first so we-" Bon said casually, as he turned around and seen Heirei rooting in Keishi's bag and pulled out a small thing of unopened lip gloss and tried it on. "What are you doing?!"
Heirei made a childish, yet silly look on her face, seeing that she was caught. "It's not like she wears any of it... or even uses it. She woul-"
"Put it back.." Bon said dully, and looked unamused, as Heirei pouted and put it back in the bag, and left the bedroom, with Bon following behind. "We were only in there for the blanket."
After Bon entered the kitchen, Heirei snuck back in and retrieved the lip gloss and locked the door behind her.

Ubi had skidded across and tripped over the freezing cold stream; as he was bloodied and damaged severely at this point. His clothing was tattered and ripped in several places; and his Tabard-like top had fell, revealing his mid-riff and chest, with him incapable to repair the damage on his clothes. He had lost his left sleeve, and the other was ripped to pieces. His belt was about to fall off, but his shoes were gone, and his pants had several holes in it. This poncho was still in good shape, surprisingly. His black blood was pouring everywhere, and into the stream, and he was having a hard time evading, let alone attack.
Jack was showing no mercy.
"If I ever heal from all this, you're f***king dead, Frost." Ubi growled, as he gotten up from in the stream, and moved, only to have his back sliced open from a strike from Jack's freezing whip.
Jack, himself, was in much better shape, though he had dropped his winter coat onto the ground, and had cuts and bruises all over his upper body, as well was bleeding from under his left eye; it was coming from his eye socket. He had frozen bracers on his upper arms; as well as thousands of ice blue symbols were all over his skin; and shoulder pads made of black ice; along with giant chunks were floating around him.
"l doubt it."
Jack lunged at Ubi, and had jumped, then twisted his body to the side so he could get enough leverage to bounce off a tree from the side, and then jam his elbow across Ubi's jaw in the rebound. Ubi managed to side step and grab hold of Jack's arm; and turned to throw him; only to feel that Jack had gripped his other arm; and started to kick Ubi's face over and over again, until he had hit the sweet spot in the jaw, causing Ubi to fall unconscious.
As Ubi fell, Jack used his body to flip backward and onto his feet, and wiped his busted lip irritated.
" Don't under estimate me, Demon." Jack muttered, as he started to create a frosty ball of snowflakes floating around his left hand, in which started to freeze into a large icicle overlapping his skin. He had given a dark look at the now reverted body of Akkioni, in which was laying in the stream, with the normal red blood washing away from his body.
" Lets see how you LIKE BEING A MANGLED BODY, DEMON!" Jack erupted savagely as he prepared for the killing blow, and had lunged; only to stop from the sound of Murmashi, Koniko, and Harohi singing in the distance.
He couldn't move a single muscle. And sweet revenge was at his fingertips.
Why?
"Jack, You should know at this point that revenge isn't the answer. Harohi and Keishi seem to go over it quite alot every time someone mentions the word 'Sasuke' or whatever that means." Spike replied as he and Herari managed to carry the currently paralyzed Pyros and Waterlily, as well as Hailrei, Torreos and Keishi in their arms.
"How could you say that?! Your best friend wasn't killed by.. by this THING. " Jack freaked, as Spike put Torreos, Keishi, and Waterlily down, and had walked over to Jack, and folded his arms.
" No, because my best friend was going to be killed by you, since Ubi has consumed him at that time. I will not allow you to do this to him. You should not lecture someone whom you don't know too well. " Spike replied, as Herari took the water kubilsana from Waterlily, and placed it back on Hailrei's finger, and had simply smiled.
There. Back where it belongs.
"Herari, help me pick up Akkioni." Spike asked, as he went into the stream, and had lifted his upper body out of the water. It wasn't like he couldn't hold him up on his own, it was because of all the damage Jack made on his body..Spike was uncertain how to carry him, so it was best to be careful.

Akkioni had woken up, surprised to see the two girls from the festival here, just sitting by him, busy tending to his wounds. Even though he was captured awhile back, he never actually seen them in Anda Gurando, besides Herari and Keishi during the crazy breakout. He trusted them abit, as seemed to be nursing him.
"Oh.. Hi there, Akkioni.. That's your name right? It's nice to see you again. Harohi and I never got a chance to say thank you since Tanabata." Hailrei grinned, as she had finished swapping the chest bandages.
It took a moment for him to even realize he was in a tent.
"O-oh.. Thanks. Er.. Miss, what happened to me?" Akkioni asked, as he looked around. there wasn't really all too much to look at, as it was a standard tent, just blue and yellow patterned.
"Oh, that's right. We should fill you in. Well, we're the new lighting and water kubilsana users. Apparently Tenka was actually a dragon... "
"I KNEW IT! I thought it was funny he had pointy ears." Akkioni proclaimed, as Harohi and Hailrei had a hard time holding their giggles because of his expression.
"A-anyways," Harohi had continued, "Since the breakout, Ubi attacked the school, kidnapped Keishi, which in return would make Hailrei and Jack go after you. Jack attacked Ubi, and won, but he nearly tried to kill you, if it wasn't for me, Murmashi and Koniko. At that that time Pyros and Waterlily gained up on Hailrei and had knocked her out." Harohi explained, as she wiped Akkioni's face with a clean washcloth.
Well. He didn't expect that.
"Wait, Muramashi.. Did he come back, or is he an exile now?" Akkioni asked, as he closed on eye for Harohi was washing that side of the face. He really didn't see why she would need to, but he didn't mind.
"Yeah, he's an exile. He was the one kinda stopped you from attacking Keishi during your relapse. You almost acted like a vampire." Hailrei explained, as Akkioni's eyes widened.
"Keishi! Is she alright?!" Akkioni panicked, and tried to get up and leave, only to have excruciating pain went up his spine, making him flop onto his stomach. "OOooooowww..." Akkioni whined, and winced.
"Akkioni, don't move.. You still have alot of healing to do. Until then you're kinda bed ridden." Harohi explained, as she and Hailrei helped him back into position. "How do you know Keishi, anyways?" Harohi asked, as she was kinda surprised at Akkioni's reaction.
"O-oh.. She saved me.. She told me she found me drifting in the harbor, so she pulled me out of the water, and brought me into a hidey-hole of hers. She was taking care of me since December-January-ish... Until..."
"Don't ever come back here.. "
"Nevermind." Akkioni explained, as Hailrei and Harohi were quite surprised at what he had just said. Keishi had her own hidden agenda too, huh? Longer than they both did, at least.
"Harohi, please tell everyone the news.. I still need to do his arm bandages." Hailrei explained, and motioned to the outside of the tent. Harohi nodded, and had smiled at Akkioni, then had turned away from him as she unzipped the door to the tent.....
