Kotaro's parents cottage

"Oh, well," she paused for a while. "I thought we both concluded it was because of his irritable mood??"

"I don't know! Something else is bothering him! I don't know how I can just feel it!' Alpha said frustrated.

"I don't know either, Alpha," she said, sighing. "Wish we could ask him. Or Akio, but he's gone."

"It's just annoying. We're here and no one will tell us whats going on with him, except Resha who barely knows her self." Alpha gritted his teeth.

"Aside from that, Resha's asleep, so whatever she does know we can't ask yet," she said, sighing. "This is so frustrating. Just where the hell is Kotaro anyway?"

"Who knows where he ran off to." Alpha sighed.

"Should we go look for him?"

"I don't know. I don't want to leave Lira and Resha here alone." Alpha said looking at those he mentioned.

"You can go," she said. "I can guard them, if you want. I'm on guard duty for Resha anyway."

Alpha looked at Media and nodded. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He said before darting into the forest Kotaro had ran into. He moved watching for any sign that would lead to Kotaro.

She looked at his retreating form and waited till he was gone before she looked at Resha and Lira. The cottage was more or less fixed so she took both of them into the cottage and laid them on a bed each.

"Much comfy that way."

Alpha had spotted multiple signs of Kotaro's path. Most of which were not reassuring. Trees had been smashed and the ground practically destroyed. Some rocks looked destroyed as well. "How much does one man need to vent?"

Dante punched another large rock, sending the top of it away. "GOD DAMN IT!"

Akio had finally come back his arms looking like they were made with more powerful metal and his legs were fully healed he walked up to everyone and just nodded.

Media sat by beside Resha who started to wake up.

"You really like to sleep, don't you?" Media smirked at Resha, who was still trying to understand. "I do?"

Alpha stopped when he reached a small clearing where he saw Dante. "Kotaro! Calm down!" He was instantly met with a bolt of red lightning, sending him into a tree.

"STAY THE **** BACK!"

Akio heard the sound of someone getting hit into a tree his ears were extra sensitive at the moment and he ran into the forest and went to check on alpha. "Hey you feeling alright?" he asked and looked at Kotaro. "Hey Kotaro seriously man you need to calm down you are hurting others! What about Tosh huh? Do you think she would want you to be freaking out like this? I don't think so, so please calm down man." he kind of begged when he said this

Alpha was knocked out from the force and his chest was malformed from the alchemic side effects of the lightning.

A red bolt was now in Akio's direction. "I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! GET BACK!"

Akio just put out his arm and let the lightning hit him not affecting him at all. "My old friend gave me these arms for a gift and they can actually absorb lightning so please Kotaro calm down you are hurting your friends! you just knocked out Alpha AND you deformed his chest! so i think you should just shut up and CALM THE **** DOWN!" Akio yelled sprinting up to Kotaro punching him in the face with the arm that absorbed the lightning though his arm still hurt like mad from absorbing it.

Dante's face didn't even budge from the punch. Instead as the arm hit him the red lightning engulfed it and molformed it as well, changing its form and causing the nervous connections to go haywire and cause massive pain. "WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK I SAID STAY AWAY! I DIDN'T HIT HIM WIT IT! IT ATTACK ON IT'S OWN!"

Akio just quickly dislodged his arm before he could get too much pain. "then maybe YOU COULD HAVE SAID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Akio said now pissed

Dante gritted his teeth and and pointed at Alpha. "Take him to get some help. AND DON'T FOLLOW ME AGAIN! If you want to find me look for the weapon shop in Xing." He said before turning around and walking away, the red lightning mallforming everything round him. "AND DON'T COME UNLESS RESHA'S THERE!"

Akio nodded and picked up Alpha bringing him back to Resha. "He got hit by Kotaro's red lightning and so did i." He said showing that his right arm was no longer there. "And he said that he'll be at a weapon shop in xing but don't go there unless Resha is there first."

Resha blinked. "Hey! That's... " but she ended up laughing sheepishly. "Well, I rarely am allowed sleep, you know..." she said. "I want to abuse sleeping when I can, when I'm allowed to!" she stuck her tongue out at Media who only smirked at her.

"Fine, fine, your excuses. But keep it down a bit more. Lira's sleeping," she said.

"Oh! Okay," Resha looked at Lira and smiled, finding it nice she's resting. "Must have taken a lot on her, you know. A lot happened in such a small span of time. By the way, where are the others?"

Alpha woke up and gave a groan, wrestling himself from Akio's grip. He fell to the ground. "Damn it!"

Media shrugged. "Alpha's gone looking for Kotaro, who's going haywire," she said and looked at her quizzically. "Just what's going on anyway?"

Resha looked down. "His emotions are bursting from being bottled up," she answered. "Adding to my saying that I'm his enemy, it must have taken a lot on him."
