...we got a slight problem here.

I just found Tsukumo and he's knocked the hell out.

Event:

[Isabel is standing over Yuma's unconscious body, next to his ship. She lets out a low sigh and reaches down, picking him up. She shakes him, just a little.]

C'mon kid, time to wake up.

... Where is he?

Re: [Journal]

[naturalcure]

Docks. Near that ship of his.

Re: [Journal]

[memoryistime]

Do you know what may have happened?

Re: [Journal]

[naturalcure]

You want my scientific guess? Somebody knocked him the hell out.

Re: [Journal]

[memoryistime]

Yes, that part is very obvious.

The question is more "who and why", however.

[Event]

[kattobingore]

*It takes a few shakes, but eventually, Yuma groans begins to wake up. He looks at Isabel with half open eyes and blinks a few times as he regains his senses.*

...Isabel...?

*He blinks a few more times, looking a little puzzled. It takes him a moment or two to fully remember what had happened, but once he does, his eyes shoot open and he starts looking around frantically.*

Alex...! Where is she...?!

Re: [Event]

[She rests him against a pillar.]

Calm down. S'just you and me right now.

Do you remember what happened?

Re: [Event]

[kattobingore]

*Yuma cringes a little when she rests him against the pillar. His stomach where Alex had kicked him was feeling pretty painful.*

Alex contacted me, saying there was something dangerous in the warp that needed checking out, but I already knew that she'd said stuff about wanting to attack and kill the Astrals and that she was probably wanting the airship for that, so I took the key out before agreeing to meet up with her.
Once she arrived I questioned her about what she'd been saying but... *He looks to the floor a little.* ... I let my guard down, and when I did, she attacked me.

I guess she was trying to get the card she thought was the key to the airship that I had in my hand, but I was actually holding a fake card Yuya and I made. The real one...

*He looks back up at her looking panicked.*

... Yuya has it! He might be in danger! We can't let Alex find him!

Re: [Event]

[naturalcure]

[...Isabel takes in a breath.]

Where's Yuya right now, Yuma?

Re: [Event]

[kattobingore]

He's up on the Academy rooftop! We agreed he should hide up there until I told him it was safe.

[becomeanwarrior]

Is he alright? Where'd you find him?

[naturalcure]

Docks. Near his ship.

[becomeanwarrior]

...At least the ship's still there. That's... a relief.

Once you make sure he's okay, let me know what the situation is.

[naturalcure]

Hokay.

Grant attacked him. She was trying to get his ship, but she couldn't get the card that acts as the key.

[becomeanwarrior]

Shit. Well... good on Yuma for thinking ahead.

Where'd he put Master Key Beetle?

[Journal]

[i_like_red]

Looks like she's not beyond even attacking those she felt the most closest too, but at least she didn't get hold of the airship.

Re: [Journal]

[naturalcure]

Yeah. He managed to hide the card that acts as the ship's key before she could get it.

Re: [Journal]

[i_like_red]

That's good. I'm glad he thought ahead.
So you have the key now?

Re: [Journal]

[naturalcure]

Yeah, I do. I'm taking it to SAI now to keep it safe.

Re: [Journal]

[i_like_red]

Right! Sounds like a good idea. We can keep a good eye on it there.

[Private]

[naturalcure]

No, I don't.

[Journal]

[longingfreesia]

Wait? Is Yuma okay? Why did Alexandra attack him for his airship?

Re: [Journal]

[naturalcure]

He's fine now.

She wanted his airship. But she didn't get it.

Re: [Journal]

[longingfreesia]

I'm glad he's at least okay.

In your comment to Samasu-san, you said that she wants to kill the Astrals? But why? Isn't that all over with now? Yuma's parents are working with the Astrals to make sure they don't repeat the same mistakes again.

Re: [Journal]

[naturalcure]

...I don't know. I think only she knows the answer to that.

I'm just concerned with stopping her.
