Scimitar looked at the thing that dropped in front of them.
"Hey, Aptom." he deadpanned.
"Hello again, um, Katanna, wasn't it?" the man in front of them asked.
"Scimitar. As long as we have a truce, you should at least have learned my 
name."
"Sorry." the man adjusted his hair, towering over Scimitar and Kailan. "I 
just heard about someone taking out Zoanoids that were helping Umbrella. 
Figured you'd be here."
/Amazing, how fast news travel./ Mewtwo commented.
"Who is that?" Kailan whispered.
/Aptom. He's a Lost Numbers Zoanoid. A geni pig, so to speak. He hates 
Chronos as much as anybody, so naturally, there's a truce between them./
"You wouldn't have seen a guy and a girl around here, would you?" Scimitar 
asked.
"Nah," Aptom replied smoothly. "Not today, anyway."
/He's lying./ Mewtwo telepathically told Scimitar. /He's planning to go eat 
them as soon as he ditches us./
*Naturally.* Scimitar thought. "I hope they are alright, because, if you have 
anything to do with them being hurt in anyway, and I find out, I may forget 
about the truce." He said to Aptom with a smile.
"Um, actually, no that you mention it," Aptom began.

Gordon's mind was tangled up. *Just came for the Clair Bible, and what do I 
get into?*
So far, he became someone's tool, almost killed an innocent man, met a 
sorceror who is really powerful, and now, this girl.
*She looks so much like Lisa.* he thought. *Should I....?*
He began to get up as he saw her coming back. He had so much to ask.......
then he noticed Scimitar and Kailan, with someone else there as well.
"What did I tell you? See, perfectly fine." the man said to Scimitar.
"You can go now," Scimitar commented with an evil grin. The man disappeared 
into the forest.
"Well, you look like you've been through hell." Scimitar commented as he 
lifted him up.
"I feel like it too," Gordon smiled weakly.
"Here," Scimitar gave a bean to swallow. "They'll heal you up."
/We better get back to the others./ Mewtwo said. /Safety in numbers, and all 
that./
"Right," Kailan said, taking to the air, holding on to Azel.
Scimitar followed, holding on to Gordon. 
"So, can you teach me that Dulfin's whatever?"
"Um, I'm not so sure."
