Finally, Marluxia has made it to the Divine Zaibatsu. This guy. Marluxia stood on top of the roof on the tallest building other than the HQ, looking down at the rest of the city in range. They actually remodeled into an actually City. It seems Nine was joking, well then again when is he ever joking? Without wasting any time, Marluxia began to jump from rooftop to rooftop silently enough to the point he can't be heard or tracked by anybody and enjoying the view of the city and its citizens. Scanning for anything out of the ordinary.
Currently thinking: "Think about this, if your father is not there to help you control the devil gene who will? You will be exactly what you are trying to destroy. What you have done will not only kill Eight, your mother will lose her love. You have destroyed everything you came here to preserve. The only thing that will change is who rules." ...I'll make sure that doesn't happen
_ In this very direction, leads to the Outskirts of the Zaibatsu. Derek had to stop and sit down thinking of what's going to happen. He'll actually get to see his father once more, but also see him die as well. He thought about what he said to Nine and Marluxia. Also thinking about what Nine said. He still remained sure of himself that he won't let that happen. Derek just sat down, just staying to his thoughts.
After several hours have passed by, something quickly ran through Derek's thoughts. 9 months have passed since he's put Leiri in the rejuvenation chamber. He checked on her couple of times but almost forgot about her still being there. A spark of an energy signal caught his eye as Derek stood in the direction of HQ. So it's time... Derek jumped off the rooftops towards the Chambers to see the waking of Leiri.
_Once class was over, once work was over, the first thing on Noein's mind was to come to this place. With her transportation abilities, it was a cinch to scale up these tall skyscrapers, especially without being caught. It always amazed her at how magnificent the view was up here. Being brought up in a small village, their really wasn't a place like this, unless you enjoyed climbing trees.
But here, Noein was able to look over the city as if she was the queen of the world. The feeling she got from looking down was indescribable. She felt like she had a purpose up here, not just a face in the crowd but, someone who could change the world...if she wanted to.
She tossed her schoolbag to the side and slung her feet over the side of the building before leaning back and gazing out over the entire city.

After all that sleep, Derek made it back to the city. Jumping up to the rooftops, he can get a better view of the city. Going from one rooftop to another, the scale of the city got a bit wider. He looked down to see a girl with purplish hair. Remembering it was the new girl from class who was quite silent. He landed to her roof and walked over to her. Quite the pretty girl she was.
He placed his hands into his coat pockets as he stood over her and watched the city. You're the new girl from the Academy am I correct? Noein I believe. What're you doing way out here? Derek asked as he looked down to her, waiting for to look to him and reply. Looking over to see her schoolbag, Derek just simply scanned the girl swiftly.

_Upon being called for, the girl's head naturally turned back towards the sound of the one who addressed her. However, purple eye widened in shock as she realized just who exactly was calling for her. In a move of panic, she scrambled to her feet to face him, all the while brushing specs of dirty of her dust clothes that had become this way from work.
"...Yes, I'm the new girl...I-I mean I'm Noien...-Wait, you remembered my name? ...I mean of course you would...I mean, I just didn't expect anyone too right away...I mean, not that I'm implying that I think you would fit a certain "non-remembering" criteria...I mean....I'm Noein...." The girl's speech was a mix of corrections all the while trying not to appear offensive towards him. Finally, just ending with what he had already established to begin with. Once she realized how stupid she had sounded in front of him, her face went so red with embarrassment that she turned away slightly and considered not saying anything else at all. But, he had asked her a question and it would be rude not to answer.
"...View..." she mumbled, narrowing her dialogue to one word as she pointed nervously out towards the city.

Derek lifted an eyebrow as Noein was stumbling her words. Still must be nervous about new, though she seemed to be acting this way when Derek was near. Derek shrugged it off as he began to sit down beside her. Looking at the view smirking at the city of his home. Yeah the view is good from here. Especially around this time... The wind began to brew through the city again as it hit Derek's hair. His eyes dimmed as they turned to Noein. So what caused you to come to the Zaibatsu...what do you plan to do by joining the academy? Derek looked at Noein and seemed to get the vibe of something interesting about her. Quite appealing yet has a fierce dangerous side.

_The girl's mind filled with questions as she nervously sat back down in the same position she had been in not to long ago. He sat down beside her and it look a few mental deep breathes for her mind to settle and her body to be calm before she was able to answer his question.
"...Well, I originally came here to start a new life for myself..." she started, rather surprised he had even asked her a question, "...Where I come from, kids leave when they're still young and have to start making a living for themselves...It's actually like a journey to become an entirely new person....We don't even get to keep our last names." Noein realized she was starting to get carried away and stopped. She was unsure why it was o nerve-racking to be around him but it was for her. Somewhere, she desperately wanted his approval.
"...I joined the academy because my preferred job requires me honing my skills, so I guess that's why." She wrapped p her answer as quickly as possible, turning to him now, she tilted her head. "What keeps you here?"

Derek looked at Noein as she was telling him why she moved here. Being told that making a living at a young age is quite interesting. It's no wonder it looks like she can be an experienced fighter or some sort. Quite interesting. So you plan to start a new life here? Derek stated with a smirk until he was asked why he joined the academy.
Well for one, I have no memories of my past. I don't know my father or even my last name to begin with. I live here in the Zaibatsu and everytime I ask someone about my past, they shrug it off like they haven't heard me asking them or if they don't know at all. My own mother won't tell me. Though I know the CEO does. Derek got a bit serious in his attitude. When mentioning the CEO, something caught him to go straight silent for a bit. ...I joined the academy so I can get close to the CEO and learn everything about my past and learn why it was kept from me. I don't plan to die until that happens. Derek stated as he continued to speak. Derek himself was on a solo mission that he knew only he could walk. But he lightened his attitude quickly.
Well hey since you're talking about honing your skills, graduation is coming soon and so is the Big Ceremony. Have you heard about that? Derek asked Noein if she's heard the ceremony mentioned to her while she traveled here plus it was good for small talk.

_Talk about one serious back-story. Noien's expression showed surprise as he went detail about his struggle to understand his past. She had never heard anything quite like that before and was very intrigued to learn more about him. However, the matter seemed delicate and she knew she shouldn't pry for extra details.
"I can't say I know what the Big Ceremony is, care to explain?" she asked politely, looking at him attentively. It was nice to be able to talk to him like this. Well, it was more nice to be able to talk to anyone like this. She hadn't made many friends since er arrival here, since working kept her busy and unable to join any extra curricular clubs and make friends there. So it was very refreshing to have a change of pace.

The Ceremony is an annual event that is hosted the night of Graduation day at the academy. The ceremony is where both the Divine Force and Mystic Industries along with the CEO himself come together in front of the graduating class of that year. In this ceremony, The CEO explains the Divine Force and Mystic Industries and gives the class a choice. A choice that will determine our very lives, whether to join the Force or join the Industries. Derek stretched and cracked his neck a bit to relax himself. It's suppose to be one big event that only the members of the Force, Industries, CEO and the graduating class can enter. Derek finished and looked out to the view taking a good pause until he laid down on the rooftop with his hands behind his head.

Riley sighed to herself as she perched on one of the many rooftops the city had to offer. After she had finished sharpening and cleaning her weapons, not to mention running into that strange older man, Riley decided to take some quiet time and listen to the different sounds of the city. She loved high places, loved having a view, and loved being left alone. Sooner or later though she would have to report to the CEO's office to see if any missions had come in for her lately. Things had been a little slow lately and Riley was starting to get anxious.
_The girl with the rabbit eared jacket sat on the roof. Looking over the city with nostalgic eyes. She could not believe that a year's time had already passed since she had arrived to the city. It had felt like just yesterday she was on her way to the Academy or just getting off at her old work.
But no, a year had passed and a lot had happened in that tiny frame. She graduated from the academy with honors, been able to afford living on her own by managing her own business, and most importantly, had been selected to join ROOT, when a year of rigorous training had paid off. Yes, life was looking very up and changing for her. But one thing had manages to stay the same the same.
She still was absolutely amazed by the view of the city. No matter what the hour or weather, she still took great pleasure in being able to look out form the top. This view had helped inspire her ever since she came here. To be able to rise to the top with her own hands, her dream that was finally being realized. As she looked out towards the vast landscape, she could only think that the fulfillment of her dream may come very soon.
Trufflez starts climbing the stairs to reach the top of the rooftop. The click of his boots hitting each step making a click noise every step. Once he finally reaches the rooftop he immediately sees the girl in her rabbit eared jacket. Its cute. He thinks and starts to walk near the edge of the rooftop and sits right on the ledge beside her. "Hey stranger, didn't know I would have had company or I would have made snacks." He giggles at his own joke and looks out at the city appreciating the bright lights and the walking people.

Quite the mantle you've passed me, father.
I'm left with the legacy of the one who stopped the war...
...but also of the one who perpetuated it.
Am I to be a pawn of fate as well?
I should think not.
A momentary rift in the sky above gave the first hint of an unexpected arrival, followed by a dim bluish figure plummeting in a slow turn for the ground. Unidentified as he was, Lyrandis almost yelped as he saw the doubtlessly-lethal distance of his fall, and were it not for his capacity to formulate a solid defense for himself, he would very well have resigned himself to the bonecrushing fate of landing, but while it took considerable effort and concentration, any who might have seen his descent would come to notice a shroud of dim pink energy shrouding his entire figure before continuing on, back-first...
Upon landing however, the shroud dispersed and the figure of a man in but a blue vest and trousers under a darker blue robe lay seeming utterly broken by the impact, let alone the immediate surroundings. For a moment he lay groaning, eyes barely opened but as he tried to lift his head, he found himself in no such condition - but at least he was alive, and - if the structure of the building he had just found purchase on was evidence at all - in some manner of civilized place, though he could only hope to find mercy after such a disastrous entrance.
