John smiled. "I've never felt better. We'll take them together." He followed Haruko out, surprised to find a man with a fire extinguisher in Haruko's living room. He made a quick bow out of habit. "Hello, I'm Johnathon Chandler. Who are you?" He reached a hand for a swift shake. It paid to be nice to potential allies.
___
Yuu was taken utterly by surprise by the chains, but landed with grace upon being yanked through the portal. She got into a battle ready stance, facing Aria with steel in her eyes as Marika cowered beside her. "No. I can't do that. I know she's done wrong, as much as I would like to deny it. But only I can fix her. I can't let you take her away!" She rushed forth and swung her blade at Aria's leg, throwing a kunai to pin her other foot to the ground. She just needed to hold Aria off until the others were out. She had a plan.
___
Marceline's screams turned to choked sobs as the flames were absorbed and she fell to her knees. Her body automatically made a helpless lurch to stop Haruko and John from leaving, but there was nothing she could do. She covered her mouth to avoid another scream when Arthur worked at the kunai. Yuu's venom was sticky and it wasn't going anywhere. She reached down and helped yank it free, vision blurring in a wave of pain that almost made her miss the stuffing tearing free. She stabilized when Arthur's healing spell wiped away the pain, leaving her whole, if tattered. She calmed before realizing her damaged clothing revealed her abdomen up to some under boob. She raised her bat to cover this up and stepped away from Chase. "Don't you touch me!"
She had a deep grimace plastered on her face. "I still can't just let you go... Somebody toss me a shirt. Whoever's keeping me here strike first. The other will have to run around. Then I can just stop fighting if the other stops trying to get free. But a shirt first. NOW!"

Chase casually shrugs his shoulder as if to say that he's not going to try anything to Marceline when she tells him not to touch her. "Not sure whats the big deal..." he said as he points his sword at her and releases flames from the tip to glow around her body in a bright light yellowish color, which will prevent anyone from seeing her expose parts along with the temperature being so soft that the sensation of Chase's soft flames in terms of warmth would probably be the same feeling as a regular shirt. "...I already seen and touch everything." he said in a somewhat joking tone.
Looking to his companion next to him, Chase continues to say, but this time in a somewhat more serious tone, "Anyways, Arthur if you don't mind... I want to get back at the doll that just came through here, so do me a favor and stay with her." Turning his head to face Marceline he smiles with his incredibly handsome face and asks, "Or would you prefer if I stay instead?" Kneeing down to be closer with Marceline, he looks at her and continues to say, "Don't worry, I'll be sure to come back for you." he said in a relaxing way. Seeing her being alright, has cause Chase to be less upset and mad, yet he still feels the need to turn the ones responsible for her condition to pay with their lives. Standing up he once agin turns to face the ice mage waiting to her his response.

Arthur shrugged and took off his shirt, revealing a finely chiseled chest. So not only was he a nurse, he was also a stripper. A stripper nurse. "I'll look after her. She doesn't seem too fond of you." A stripper nurse babysitter. Not the best combination. "But first, you'll have to remove your flames. I can't even fake a fight while those are there." Once the flames disappear, he'll give his shirt to Marceline.
"Now, let's get this over with so I can bring Cosmina and the blind girl here, too. Easier to take care of you all that way." As soon as he said that, he launched a sidekick at Marceline's left hip. Of course, he didn't go all out since he was supposed to keep her here and not actually hurt her.

Sizing up John, Alex politely shakes his hand, acting as professional as ever. "Alex Miyata, her older brother. Pleasure to meet you, mr. Chandler." In truth, Alex already knew who John was after reading a few exerts from his HWIC profile. It pays to know who your enemies and allies are.
Haruko glared at Alex, her grudge for him not yet over. "How did you know to come here?" She demands, her tone obviously annoyed. Alex just looks at her with the same expression he gave John. "We received a report that his house was broken into, and that he was nowhere to be found. We sent someone to tell you, but you were already gone. And then we found this..."
He holds up the note Cosmina wrote for Haruko. "This is a pretty definitive link, so we told Aria and, well, here we are." He didn't like explaining thus much, but Aria had told him to start repairing some bridges with Haruko. She slowly nods her head at him, and turns to the beach. "Thanks for putting out the fire..."
___
Aria studied Yuu as she spoke, analyzing every word she said. So this woman truly was acting like this girl's mother, as she seemed much too young to have a daughter Marika's age. Regardless, they were determined to resist arrest.
Anticipating the slash to her legs, Aria twists her body on her left foot and dodges out of the way, using Yuu's own momentum against her to get behind the doll. The kunai that came afterwards sliced through her foot, but the sand was malleable enough to not impede her movements too much. It was worth it for the strategic position.
Pointing her guns at Yuu's back, Aria fires a total of 8 shots, each with a small electrode inside them that would deliver a shock equivalent to a stun gun if hit, but only for a few seconds. As she fired her guns, she begins to grow a network of roots under the beach, setting up the perfect battlefield to take Yuu down.

John gave Alex's hand a quick shake before stepping back to Haruko's side. He was feeling no familial bond here, just a cold tension like a wire ready to snap. "So, did you happen to see a young Asian woman running by? It's hard to miss her, she's on fire." He wanted out of this atmosphere, and he wanted Haruko out too. Seeing this brother of hers clearly upset her.
___
Yuu's sword ate air, but her kunai bit blood. Flames should begin to consume Aria's leg. Yuu truly regretted this fight. Aria was clearly the good guy here. But she couldn't take Marika, and if Yuu couldn't immobilize her, she would have to die. Even with a foot disabled, Aria swiftly slipped behind her, opening fire into Yuu's back. Yuu gasped at the sharp pain, nearly loosing her footing at the following shocks. Her muscles tensed and her head span, but only for a second before the jolts ended as swiftly as they began.
She spun to face Aria again, this time a bit slower, more cautious. This foe was dangerous. Yuu couldn't underestimate her, even if this needed to end swiftly. She backed away, well aware of the water by her heels and Aria's range advantage. It was a gamble, but maybe it would pay off.
___
Marceline's jaw dropped in stunned silence when Chase brazenly and crudely mentioned how he had "already seen and touched everything" in regards to her body. "What... the... FUCK!" She roared, barely registering that Arthur had taken off his shirt. "You fucking inconsiderate pig! They did not need to hear that! Am I a trophy with a hole for you to show off?" Tears spilled from her eyes as she swung her bat for Chase's head, mercilessly taking advantage of his crouched position in front of her. "DON'T TELL ME YOU'LL COME BACK! THAT'S THE LAST THING I EVER WANT! GET THE FUCK OUT!"
She didn't press the attack, spinning to catch Arthur's kick. With perhaps a little more force than necessary, she thrust the tip of her bat for his chest. For now, the door was all open. And as great wings spread behind Arthur, Marceline's eye lost everything, retreating to a deep haze of hurt. "And I thought somebody cared..."

Arthur could have blocked Marceline's bat with a simple barrier. But he didn't. She seemed pissed and she needed a release. He might as well serve as a punching bag now to make watching over her easier later.
The strike pushed Arthur back and he stumbled until he hit something soft and fluffy. He turned around. "Oh, Huntsman. Long time no talk. I almost felt ignored. We have to catch up some time, but I can't talk right now." Marceline was hurting, she looked pitiful. Arthur couldn't stand seeing her like that, he needed to comfort her. He went over to her and knelt down.
"It's okay, Marceline. Someone does care. A lot of us care. That's why we came here to help you and Cosmina. And John, but he was Haruko's goal more then mine." He finally turned Wolf's Soul off and suddenly great hunger struck him. "Hey, here's an idea. How about we go eat something when we get out of here. All of us. Except for Chase, of course."

Chase proceeds to dodge the swing as he moves to the exit, thinking nothing much about Marceline's outburst. After all, he wanted to be the one to put down the escaping doll and their master. And to ensure that, he even went so far as to deliberately piss of Marceline. That way, it would be Arthur who who have to take care of her and besides that reason as well, he had also another explanation for his actions. Chase has been slowly more and more consume by the natural bloodlust influences of Mark of Chaos, and he wasn't going to take the risk of engaging Marceline in combat again even for a little bit. He would do anything to avoid fighting with her out of a fear that he might lose control of himself to the urges of the mark. Yet, even if the chances of that happening were tiny, Chase didn't want to risk it. He also has too much pride in himself to try to explain his reasons and fears, so instead he went with the be a jerk and have the girl to tell you to leave plan.
As he walks through the exist, he hears Marceline's and Arthur's words to each other, thinking to himself, So long as she walks out of this, then I don't need to be in the picture or anything else." Chase enters the exit to find himself standing in Haruko's house, yet he didn't try to talk to anyone at all. Chase could sense where the others are and he wasn't in the mood to be polite right now. Chase continues to walk through Haruko's house and goes out the front door. From there, he runs over a 100mph to the Aria's location. Considering the distance, it will take only a couple of moments before he arrives.

Shaking his head, Alex points to the back door, giving Chase a slight glance as he races by. "As I said...they are down by the beach. Your friend seems to know where he is going, so follow him. I am just here to prevent them from getting away or catching your house on fire." Alex states. He sensed that John was uncomfortable, but didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. Haruko glared at him a little more, then turned back to the door.
"...thanks again. Let's go." Pulling John along by the arm, Haruko whispers into his ear. "Long story, but let's just say he was a total assets to me for 21 years. I can't forgive that yet." In truth, she wasn't looking forward to seeing Aria either, but she was at least trying to mend their relationship.
___
Perfect, the bullets hit their marks and hopefully damaged Yuu's muscles. All Aria needed to do was incapacitate her, not kill if it can he helped. What's more is that Yuu was close to the water's edge...right where Aria wanted her.
Suddenly, a network of vines burst out of the ground and begin binding Yuu's legs. Aria knew this would be a fruitless endeavor, so she needed to act fast. Raising her hand upwards, a large bowl comprised of interlocking roots rises out of the ocean, rivaling Haruko's house in size. With a motion downwards, the roots closest to Yuu would break free, releasing a torrent of water upon the doll.

"Yeah, I was going to ask about him. You only mentioned your younger sisters before." Now wasn't the time to pry, obviously. "If you want to talk about it, I'm willing to listen when I'm fully charged. I hope you won't need your couch, because I'm passing out on it at the first opportunity." His body was back to full power, and his face didn't show it except in his shellshocked eyes, but he was emotionally spent, only staying standing for Haruko's sake. He shook his head and ran, wanting to get this over with and capture the little brat (hardly strong enough for her, but he was staying calm) who had caused him and Haruko so much pain.
___
Yuu balked at a great rumbling. She half turned to keep an eye on Marika but also see what was behind her. The roots that whipped out to grab at her legs burned away in no time, but that couldn't be Aria's full goal. Sure enough, the source of the rumbling fully exposed itself. She smiled at the great wave Aria's falling vines caused. This wasn't exactly what she wanted, but it was close enough to make her happy.
She set herself in the sound, but was still staggered by the wave. Her flames were not. Did Aria not know you were never supposed to douse a chemical fire? The waves ignited with a layer of her tears over their top, creating a hellish landscape around her and a wonderful steam cover for it. Yuu was stronger than before with this much heat and flame surrounding her. She threw kunai from her cloudy cover, supernatural eyes seeing Aria's heat and aiming for her center of mass, hoping to ignite her with blade after blade, five in total before she erupted from a whisp of steam that had crept next to her target, sword swinging for her neck.
___
Huntsman snorted. Yep, he was back in control. Swallower always retreated when they got too badly hurt. Huntsman had a variety of terms for that, none of them polite. "Aw, you didn't take off your shirt for me? Ah, I don't do toddlers anyway. Unlike Chase, apparently." He glared after his fled friend. Oh boy, they would have words about this. Marceline took a step back and slumped against the door frame. "Don't condescend to me. I'm not a child, I'm... I'm not a child." She refused to look at Arthur, keeping her tone grouchy and harsh, perhaps more so that before.
Not looking she only heard as Huntsman thrashed his wings with a massive amount of force to propel himself forward. She had just an instant of surprise before he flared his wings out to come to a stop. There was a deep gouge through the door frame, right behind Marceline's neck. Huntsman withdrew the blade that had popped from his arm to catch Marceline's head just before her body slid out from under it. "Ahahahaha! Look at her face! She did NOT see that coming." He gleefully waved the head at Arthur, not noticing she was still staring in pain, blinking rapidly. He only noticed her continued living when he put his other hand too close to her mouth and she bit down violently.
"Okay, that's odd." He didn't seem to mind the bone-crushing force her jaws were applying. "I've done this before, and the usually die after a few seconds. She's still a complete bitch." The head's single eye glared at him with absolute hatred. He grabbed her body and experimentally shook it, getting no response. With a shrug, he tossed it hard enough that it sailed from the kaspa. "Any input, Arthur?"

Chase arrives on the scene to see that there was fire everywhere, quickly he unleashes his blade and the flames begin to move towards him. As he sucks in the fire, he continues to rush at Yuu and Marika. His face was emotionless in some ways, but his eyes were full of hate at the same time. He never said a word, he just quickly lifts his sword up and prepares to strike them down. He knew that the fire would make Yuu stronger, so he was going to have to be careful with any fire attacks with her. Chase shots forward even stronger and faster as he approaches, yet his first target wasn't Yuu, but instead Marika. Chase closes the gap and fully equips himself before he swings his sword towards the puppet master's head and body. At the same, his chains move to form a circle around them in an attempt to try and keep her with close quarters with him. He knew that Yuu was fine with fire, but he wonders how Marika would be. As the blade is coming down, it unleshes a blast of fire, which doesn't spread far at all and only reaches to the his chains. But it was intense flame, that slowly turns the sand below their feet into glass and the vicious blast moves upwards. Creating a pillar of fire with the height of the flames being taller than the beautiful summer homes nearby.  |

Arthur didn't quite understand what Marceline meant, but he tried apologizing anyway. "Sor-" He didn't get to finish before Huntsman chopped off Marcy's head.
Arthur's jaw dropped while Huntsman cheered. "W... Y... Wa..." He was so shocked that he could only stare when Huntsman threw away her head. It took him a few seconds before he regained the ability to speak. "Why did you do that?" He asked, barely keeping his voice at a reasonable level when he wanted to shout. "She already gave up! She wasn't an enemy. You're only supposed to kill enemies. Why did you kill her, Huntsman?"

Sending that John sounded exhausted, Haruko decides that they needed to finish this now. But once they reach the outside, both of them are greeted by an inferno.
"...Looks like Chase and Aria are doing rather well here..." Haruko states, not wanting to get into the middle of that blaze.
___
As the situation would have it, Yuu's fire was chemical based, not magic or heat based. Five flaming kunai came flying at her at an incredible speed, and Yuu's overall power was increasing. It was time to get serious.
In a blinding flash of light, Aria teleports out of the way of the kunai and, by extension, the sword strike. Her appearance was much smaller now though, but she held the same look of cold determination in her eyes. Sensing that Chase was about to kill Marika, she draws Yuu's attention.
"Aren't you going to save her?" In truth, she had a small vine close to the scene, which would wrap around Marika's ankle and pull her away if Yuu was too slow. She didn't want her prisoners to die. The vine was tiny though, and laying just under the sand, invisible from view.
---
Spotting the body flying through the portal and landing against the wall, Alex walks over and spots a piece of broken string inside of her head. Looks like this one is a doll. After searching the body, he smiles as he holds up the Kaspa key.
Stepping into the Kaspa, Alex spots Huntsman toying with the head and Arthur near crying. They didn't need to be here. Without a word, a flurry of chains wrap themselves around Arthur and Huntsman, and one singular chain wraps around Marceline's head and brings it to him. Arthur and Huntsman get pulled into portals, and wind up on the beach, 200 yards away from the fight.
Alex glances around the room, taking in his surroundings. Realizing he needs to get back to protecting the house, he steps through a portal and arrives back in Haruko's house, holding Marceline's head in his right hand and pointing it at her body. "Is that your body?" He asks.
Arriving through the front door, a red headed girl wearing a backpack enters the house. "I'm hom-who are you?" Kate asks Alex. Alex merely looks at her, and motions for her to come over. "Can you reattach her head?" He asks, knowing about her upgrade powers. She looks at them for a few seconds, before awkwardly saying "I guess...?"

John had resistance to flame, but not enough for this. "Crap! If we can't get in and help, we should go back to your house and watch the portal. Sound good?"
___
Yuu frowned as her blade went through air again as Aria teleported away. As fast as she was, she wasn't keeping up with that. She was trying to think of a way to hit this evasive foe when Marika's predicament was pointed out to her. Black eyes widened and she lunged to her rescue. Burning arms wrapped around Marika, lighting her ablaze, but she saved her from the worse blast by flipping her over her body, taking the blast with her back.
Yuu vanished from sight upon contact with this new flame. One invisibly fast punch was made upon Chase's face for revenge before Yuu raised a bone-white key and was truly gone.
___
Huntsman blinked at Arthur. "But she was an enemy. My enemy. I'm not seeing the problem here." He turned to leave, tongue reaching out to pry the head's jaws off his hands and drag it into his own. Before he could do either, he had one action done for him and the other made impossible. He noticed Alex standing at the kaspa entrance just an instant before he was whipped into one portal while the head was taken to another, along with a few bones and a good amount of flesh from his hand.
With a yelp, he flew out the other end of the portal, landing easily on two feet and mad as hell. "What just happened? I was gonna eat that!" He sounded like a child who's toy had just been snatched. Huntsman snarled for another minute before looking down the beach, seeing Chase's massive blast of flame. "Well, my job here is done anyway. Better wrap whatever's going on over there up and tell John to call the sexy vampire so I can get paid." With another flap of his wings, he took off towards the beach.
___
Marceline just rolled her eyes when Alex asked the question. A few sarcastic remarks welled to the tip of her tongue. Things like "How many heads do you have around that you must ask?" and "I don't know, better check to see if the hair matches." The later she wouldn't use anyway, but it was nice to think up. As it went, she couldn't even nod. She could only give the girl that wandered in a sympathetic look as she walked in. This bullshit wasn't for a kid's eyes.

Chase notices Yuu coming at him, but he had underestimated the insane rate at which Yuu can become stronger with fire. Before he could react properly, due to the sheer surprise of how Yuu manages to protect Marika from his flames along with just how much faster Yuu had become with her sudden increase in speed, he was unable to avoid Yuu's fist hitting him in the face, but lucky for Chase, he had his helmet on. Chase stumbles backwards and looks forward as he prepares to strike Yuu down in reposses, but he could not spot her nor Marika anyway.
Chase swings his sword towards the ocean as his frustration gets the better of him and he unleashes a power slash, which cuts and splits the water a distance of a dozen meters from the shore and also two massive waves standing 10 feet tall form and face each other alone the path of Chase's sword slash. He turns towards Aria and was getting ready to yell at her for trying to stop him, but one quick glance and he knew it would be pointless. Besides, Chase knew that she wasn't someone he could hope to win against in a fight... at least for now, he thought.
Chase commands his gear to revert back to their disguise forms and he begins to take a few deep breaths to regain a clam mindset. As he he was trying to regain and recover his self control, he finally notices that everyone was back at Haruko's house. Chase had enough with today's events and he looks at Aria. Annoyed by the fact that she had saved them with her unwillingness to kill them. "You know... if someone like you wanted too.... we could have the two dead criminals by now. You wouldn't even need me or anyone else to help you with that. You could have finish the job minutes ago." Chase begins to walk away as he heads back to Haruko's house.
He didn't even have an ounce of hate in his voice when he spoke with Aria. He was more annoyed than anything with her. Still, he couldn't help but to think that the real failure was him. He wasn't able to finish the job because he was not strong enough to do what needed to be done. Clinching his fist tightly, he tells himself he needs to get even stronger. As he is now, he is too weak to do anything important again.

"Sounds great. Back inside!" Turning her body around, Haruko makes her way back into the house and finds Alex holding...Marceline's dismembered head in his hands?! To make matters worse, Kate was standing there! Summoning five knives, Haruko glares at her brother. "What did you do to Marceline?!" She demands in an angry tone. He looks at her with as cool of an expression as ever. "Saved her life, for one."
Tossing the head to Kate, the girl catches it and delicately places it on top of the body's neck. Using her magic, she begins upgrading the nerves, bone and string back into place. Making the knives disapper, Haruko breaths a sigh of relief. Good, he wasn't the one to hurt her. But who was...?
___
Preparing to strike Yuu with a blast of light, Aria ceases her attack when she sees that both Yuu and Marika had managed to disappear, likely back to the Kaspa. Her guard was momentarily brought back up as Chase released his flame slash across the water, and continued as he passed by.
Being no stranger to being criticized, Aria raises her voice to answer Chase as he walked away. "But that is not what I or the HWIC stand for. We are not assassins, we are officers. As such, our primary objective is to capture and detain criminals, only killing if it is absolutely necessary." She knew that Chase was willing to kill Marika outright, and that was worrying.
Seeing that everyone was heading to Haruko's house, Aria transforms back into her adult form and begins making her way to the living room. Perhaps Alex had some more information on the situation.

Before Arthur got to explain to Huntsman what exactly was the problem, he was transported to the beach via portals. He could think of two people with that ability and only one of them could control chains. Now he was pissed off. How dare Alex transport him without consent! And he did it at the worst possible time, too.
Arthur took off for the house with enough force to kick up a sandstorm in his wake and reached the house in a mater of seconds. He jumped in through a window which just happened to be open.
"Okay, chainfreak! What's the big idea transporting me all the way over there?" Arthur shouted.

John was as surprised as Haruko when they entered the house. Even when he realized what was going on, he couldn't get the image of Marceline lying there, taken apart, out of his head. That sort of thing would haunt his nightmares considering he nearly suffered the same fate. As she leaned up, rubbing her neck, he turned to Kate. "You okay, Kate?" Before he could get an answer, Huntsman barreled in to yell at him. "Hey! Call the hot vampire and tell her I saved you so I can go get paid!"
John blankly stared at him for a second, then realized he somehow knew Emma. Did she pay this creature to save John? She didn't have money of her own, and he wasn't sure how cooperative his parents might be in helping out. "Don't hurt anybody if they can't pay. Just stay over there and I'll cover it when I get back." He reached for his phone, but didn't find the bulge in his pocket that signified its existence. It must have been left in the kaspa. "Haruko, can I borrow your phone? Also, please make sure Kate's okay after that. Pretty sure she's not seen a decapitation before."
Huntsman shrugged. "Don't care who pays me, long as I get paid. Now, why the fuck is her head back on? I made a point of taking it off." He snarled, taking step towards Marceline. She angrily lifted her bat and got ready for another round.
___
Marika lay on the floor, clad in nothing but heavy bandages. She had screamed and screamed, flesh burnt by Yuu's saving hands, but now the only noise her little body made was in her pained gasps and ragged breaths. Yuu held her head, eyes wet as she stroked her body with hands covered in soothing cream. "I'm so sorry, Marika. I'm so, so sorry." If she had followed Marika right away, she wouldn't have been hurt. But she had to be selfish. Cassandra cried in the corner about being kissed by their captive. Both her little girls were in so much pain.
"Huhhhh... huhhh... Yuu..." Marika shuddered and grimaced as she tried to speak. "Shhhh, honey. You'll be okay. Just rest and next time you shed, you'll be good as new." Marika snarled deep in her throat. "I don't care... I hate them. I hate them all so much, Yuu..." Her eyes, so strange looking without their glasses, narrowed. "Disgusting... the whores and the freaks... they think they can mess with my work!? I'll show them just how worthless they are! Come on Yuu!" She grit her teeth and grabbed Yuu for support. "Marika, you should just lie still and let me-" "SHUT UP YUU!" Yuu was taken aback. Marika pulled herself up by Yuu's shirt and half collapsed against her. Yuu held her close, feeling just how warm she was. "I-I'm sorry, Yuu! But they hurt me so much!" Marika wept into Yuu's shoulder. "I know they did, honey." She knew Marika didn't mean to hurt her. She just got like this when upset. The thought made her eyes tear up more as she lay Marika down and began applying the cream again. There would be so much more bloodshed before her beautiful Marika was happy once more.

Chase listens to Aria's response and turns around to address her sense of duty and Justice, "If every single innocent individual, who gets killed by those two from this point forward, can somehow hear those words of yours as they pass on to the next world... I wonder how would they will feel about the fact that the monsters that killed them were never stop before their untimely deaths, because you decided to show mercy base on your sense of justice." Chase turns around once more and continues to speak, "Well, Its not like I'm going to be upset if no one I care about dies from your choice. But I wonder if you can say the same thing?..... I doubt it."
Chase stops in his tracks and says to Aria without looking, "Aren't you coming back to the house? If so we better get going now. I can sense that Marceline and Huntsman are about to fight each other again." Chase didn't really have to worry about Marceline, especially considering how many people were already at the house, he doubts that even the Huntsman would be foolhardy enough to take on Marceline with everyone there. After having that thought, he quickly smiles to himself, because he actually could see Huntsman doing that.
Still, with everyone there, he figures the conflict will get resolve soon enough.

Remaining calm and collected, Aria begins walking after Chase, her boots kicking up sand as she made her way to the house. "And what if we are wrong initially? What if Marika was being mind controlled? Could you live with yourself if you kill an innocent only on the limited information you had? That is why we hold trials, to determine a person's guilt. We can't just murder everyone accused of murder, as that denies us the opportunity to gather information and prove guilt."
Frowning at Chase for a second, she continues. "The world is a complicated place, and we can't just kill people without getting all the facts first. That is how the law works, and I have dedicated my life to uphold it." Finished with her speech, the duo make their way into Haruko's house right after Arthur burst in. Alex only glances at the ice mage, unphased by his shouting.
"That's Alex, or Mr. Miyata to you. But to answer your question, I found this key on her body, and teleported myself into the room. I saw you three, and didn't know how long the room was going to stay open, so I pulled you out to question later. Besides...you were more needed out here...ten minutes ago." He states curtly, satisfied with Kate's job of mending Marceline's head. Stepping in between Huntsman and Marceline, Alex summons his tonfas and looks at Huntsman with cold, determined eyes.
"I figured you would be the one to attempt to murder this woman. This house is currently the scene of a crime, and she is in HWIC custody. You will not harm our witnesses." His expression remained unchanged, staring Huntsman down to make him back off. As he stared, a set of chains wrap themselves around Marceline's arms and, in one quick motion, he slaps a pair of power cancelling onto her wrists.
Haruko watched the situation unfold, trying to take everything in. Huntsman decapitated Marceline?! Alex was in the Kaspa?! Marceline was under arrest?! Passing her phone to John, Haruko steps in front of Huntsman as well. "You tried to kill her?! She was clearly being forced to do this! Get the hell away from her." His attitude was starting to tick her off.
Looking at Haruko, Aria approaches her sister. "Haruko...I have received reports that there was a small, gerrn-haired child with Marika. Is she safe?" Aria asks. Remembering Cosmina, Haruko looks at Aria. "Yes, she is in my Kaspa. Can you two watch both of them while I get her?" Haruko asks, concerned. Aria nods her head, and Haruko teleported into her Kaspa, soon arriving with Cosmina.
Kate only sat in the background, completely lost as to what was going on, and slightly scared of the decapitated head she had to heal. Normal people don't survive without their head...

"Well if I was needed out here ten minutes ago, maybe you should have put me here ten minutes ago instead of putting me on the beach now. You know, when I'm trying to do something!" Arthur spoke with clear annoyance in his voice. Stupid Huntsman. Damn Alex. Freaking HWIC. And Arthur was in such an okay mood, too! He was gonna invite everyone out for lunch to celebrate a successful event. Pft, whatever. He has better people to spend Valentine's Day with anyway.
He started rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Fine. Whatever. Am I still needed here or can I go somewhere less frustrating?" In the meantime, Marceline's dress started repairing itself. No, it returned to the state it was originally in, back when it was freshly bought and before it was covered in sweat and dubious smells.
