Serge blinks, recognizing Magus in the field and realizing he is heading to the same place. "I thought he was supposed to go be a distraction...?" Serge dashes over to Magus, keeping a firm hand on Pip to keep the small puffball from falling. "HEY MAGUS! Where ya goin'? I thought you were supposed to head to the bluffs, not the manor gate. And if you are heading there, why not go together?" Serge grinned and stuck out a hand. "Name's Serge. It's a pleasure."

[Termina, Alternate World]

"Well..." Korcha mutters. "Hop in and lets go!"

[World Map, Alternate World]

Magus takes the hand and looks at the boy. "I am Magus. I thought that we were to cause a distraction at the gates so that the could sneak in by the bluffs. You are the one that Lynx wants?"

[World Map, Alternate World]

Serge blinks and shrugs. "We'll ask Pip here. He's a smart...puffball." Serge looks away, then back to Magus. "Yeah, he kept asking me if I knew what I was. I tried to tell him human, but he didn't listen. Sounds like he has a hairball in his stomach to me."

[World Map, Alternate World]

"I still wanna go to the zoo..." Pip mutters.

[Termina, Alternate World]

"My personal reasons are... just that, personal." he smiles. "General Viper seems to have upset quite a few people... we all seem to be here for different reasons. A good thing," he adds, "Since I sense there will be trouble if several of us are after the same thing."

[World Map, Alternate World]

"There is something magically different about you, Serge. It reminds me of someone else I knew... it could be that you have a destiny far from where you are now but only fate knows that, right?" He smiles and continues on.

[Termina, Alternate World]

"All of dese people have different reasons?" She raised a brow, glancing around the rather large group. "It seems dat you are all very lucky to have run into one anotter, da?" She was amazed, the probability of these many people, all wanting to get into the manner meeting up was. . . Well, minute.

[Termina, Alternate World]

"Perhaps it is not all luck." Guile turns, gazing out over the water. "From what little I have heard, it seems that unusual forces are afoot. Yes, I am sure of it. In that case, it is almost logical that we should meet here, perhaps not for our own reasons, but for someone else's."

[Termina, Alternate World]

"I was waiting for someone who would help me enter," mutters Ozzie. "I need to get in, fufill my mission, and get out."

[Termina, Alternate World]

"I'm growing impatient," Korcha mutters.

[Termina, Alternate World]

Kid sighs, looking first to Guile and then Korcha. "So who else is ridin' in the boat that we're waitin' on?" she taps her fingers repeatedly on part of the boat. "We do need to hurry, dunno how fast the others are gonna take to enter from the main gate, mates."

[World Map, Alternate World]

Serge blinks at this, then shakes his head. "Weird..." he mutters to himself then trudges on. "Hey Pip, see Viper Manor yet?"

[World Map, Alternate World]

"Yup," Pip mutters. "But I'd still wathew go to the zoo."

[World Map, Alternate World]

Magus laughs, remembering the excitement of his adventures with Crono. "Ok, here is the deal. We need to make a lot of nosie without much casualty. So how good of an actor are you, Serge?"

[World Map, Alternate World]

Serge smirked. "Pretty good. What do ya need me to do?"

[World Map, Alternate World]

Magus pulls his cloak over his face so that only his eyes are showing and takes on a shadowy air. "Because we are gonna scare the pants off of these soldiers. All you have to do is play along and follow my lead."

[Termina, Alternate World]

Leena shook her head, and decided to head over to visit her friend Lisa. Upon entering the Element shop, Lisa looked up expecting a customer and she smiled widely when she saw it was Leena.

"Leena! How long has it been?!" she said as she rushed around the counter.

"Too long." Leena replied.

Just then, a customer entered the shop. She had dark skin and dark hair and had a sword slung over her shoulder. She look around, as if wondering where the owner of the shop was. Lisa walked around the counter, and smiled artificially. "Can I help you?" Lisa asked the woman.

After the woman left, Leena walked over the counter. "Hey, Lisa? Can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, Leena."

"If a blonde haired girl wearing red comes asking around for me, tell her that I went home." Leena said, then, smiling and waving, left. "Bye!" She started walking out of Termina, towards Arni.

[World Map, Alternate World]

Serge shrugged and pulled his bandanna off his head and pulled it over his face, so only that his eyes showed, and took a tone of Magus'. "I will follow your lead..." He danced off cackling.

[World Map, Alternate World]

Magus looks at the boy, one side of his mouth in a smirk. "It is amazing how alike they are.."

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Serge sighed, looking at the big gates, taller then him. "...Now what, Mr. Mysterious?" Serge replaced the bandanna atop Pip, not realizing Pip was up there.

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

"Now we create a diversion..."

With that said, he called upon his shadow magic and the day suddenly grew darker. Shadows reaching out to surround them all, warping their visages to look much taller and imposing. The gate guards began to shake and called for the dragoons...

In the background could be heard..."Shake it up! We've got trouble!"

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Serge grinned. "WOO HOO! I FINALLY GOT MY GROWTH SPURT! I'M NOT SHORT!!" He patted Pip. "YOU TOO PIP!"

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Magus steps forward and throws his cape around, causing a dark shadow to cover the front gates. His voice is strangely amplified. "RUN MORTALS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

[Viper Manor Gates, Alternate World]

Flea, having followed along like a good little Mystic General type of thing. . . Grinned and tossed his braid to the side. With a chuckle at the others' fun he brought up a hand, murmering, "Waltz of the Winds!"

A wind picked up, aimed at the gate, made to miss his own companions. That, at least, should confuse the begeezus out of them.
