Sky did not fear this kidnapping, she feared for the fate of Mr Sir Hane, and all those up in Aura. She feared for her brother, and how he would grow here, and she feared for her parents and family, about what they were doing now, if they were okay. But she did not fear the Saints, or what might happen to herself. Calming down her brother was a difficult task without their parents around, not impossible, but with the noise and setting, not an easy one, even more so trying to get him to sleep each night without the normal soothing feel Aura offered, but Sky made do for him. And once he was, she set him down so she could work out exactly what these people wanted. "You know. This little game wont work out forever, you will be taken down, and I will laugh." Sky cocked her head to the side looking at whomever was around, someone was bound to try and shut her up... But with little else to do, this was always something fun, she couldn't wait to start messing with their brains... Though she had to admit, there were a few people in here she wished to ease of their memories, she could see how badly it weighed on their minds, but that could be used as blackmail later, so she would hold out for now. "COME ON! Someone entertain my mind, its not like I'm going anywhere, and I'm not getting any younger... Then again, I don't have to worry about my age like that freaky man with the guns in here."

The subject of keeping kids captive in the Temple was comfortably glazed over by the fact that war was happily going on. Marzzi's stunt with the bomb pulled off, and Banto's other ideas to attack in general, and take the royal children, had made the announcement of war even better. Of course, no one expected Jasper to be the one to announce it. Marzzi wasn't as ticked off as others when it came to what their 'leader' did. In a way, Marzzi respected Jasper a little more for having the guts to do such a thing. And since Jasper had returned, there had been an aura around the kid that Marzzi wasn't going to mess with. he desperately wanted to challenge Jasper's strength, since Marzzi had been having doubts ever since Jasper went off to be that Angel and Demon loving woman's adopted son, but he knew right now Jasper's condition wouldn't make a fair fight possible. One of them would die if Marzzi asked for a duel, and the Human race didn't need one of the pair missing right now in the war. All Saints were needed to keep the Demons and Angels under control, and the latter were continuing to pull off some bold attacks even with pitiful numbers. But Marzzi had no doubt this war would be anything but one-sided, and in mere years Humanity would succeed. There were no plans for today, other than keep the Temple heavily guarded as usual, in case the royal kids were looking for rescuers again. Marzzi had to admit, it was hard to see kids locked up. They were the one thing Marzzi had a heart to care about, reminding him of the orphanage kids he'd grown to love as family and protect loyally. But, he needed to remind himself that these two brats weren't Human. And the little girl was making it easier on Marzzi to find the will to hate her. She wouldn't stop shouting out and mocking them, and she had a voice that just grated against Marzzi's ears. He heard her flapping her gums some more, and Marzzi decided to take a detour of his patrols to wander down to the little dungeon. He smirked towards the little Angel girl, frequently forgetting her name, and not caring whether he knew or not. "Big talk for a little caged pigeon. You gunna shut up, brat? Or we just gunna have to wait till that voice of yours dies, or make sure it does?"

Sky smirked slightly, so the big guy with the big guns decided to make an appearance, oh how this was her favourite to mock, because he managed to bite back just as well. And Sky knew he couldn't really touch them, other Saints would have something to say about it, and they would lose their 'bargaining' chip. So she would most certainly have fun with this. "I don't know. Are you going to keep saying things that you think have any relevance or want to the conversation when in reality your nothing but an invalid with a lot of measly metal weapons?" Sky gave Marzzi a smile before leaning against the cage she was in, there wasn't much more she could do, and getting out was less then likely, but that didn't mean she never tried, she knew who she could play like a rag doll, and who gave the best verbal responses... Like Marzzi here. "Hey. Ugly Monkey.... When can I get out of here? I want to walk around your halls and see what scrappy things you make... Maybe get a bite to eat, show my brother how other people live besides royal life... Hell, right now I would go for a book... I'm sorry you wont know what one of those are, just relay that to your leader would you?"

Sky really did know how to talk bitter, surprising for a little Angelic princess like her. But, to be honest, Marzzi was closer to approving of the girl talking crap than if she was some pathetic crybaby. He huffed when she replied, leaning closer to the cage bars. "Measly metal weapons? That's no way to talk to one of the best freakin' inventors in Humanity, little brat." Marzzi replied, snorting when the little brat leaned up against the cage. "There ain't no getting out. That cage might as well be your new home, birdie princess." He replied, before tuning in to the girl's requests. He supposed, letting her roam around the Temple wasn't too bad, and it wouldn't be good if the kids just rotted into nothing in the small cage built for them. He wasn't going to let her get away, and made plans in his head for that, but perhaps showing her around, and perhaps making her more afraid and impressed with the Saint's power wouldn't hurt. Marzzi gestured his head towards the Demon brat, "Little kid there is sleeping like a dead rat, so I'm afraid I won't be draggin' him around. You however, I'm sure a little tour of your knew home would be alright. I can show you just how impossible it is for you to be leavin' this place, little princess." Marzzi replied, gathering some rope around around his belt. He tied on end back onto the belt, and held the other end prepared. He carefully opened the cage door, easily blocking it with his large form, and held out the rope to the Angel. "Alright, the pet Angel wants a walk, so I'll give her one, but she's gotta tie this around her, nice and secure, before we go anywhere, got it?"

"Best? I'll have you know, I know of someone who will forever have better inventing skills then you, and they don't need to use some measly little group to pay for it for them." Sky gave Marzzi a smirk when thinking of the things Ningen makes, and how much cooler the inventions were. She hasn't seen many, and never up close, but she just knew. "Well, I admit, it is cosy, I don't mind living here. Needs more shelving though, and books, lots and lots of books..." Sky honestly didn't care about the cage, it wasn't like she had no space, and she had some things like a blanket, so it was almost like home anyways. Sky was taken back over the fact she was aloud to leave, though the thought of leaving Art behind terrified her, what if they tried anything while she was gone, what if he woke up alone and they left him to cry... But she needed out, to get a feeling for the place, and find the weak spots and best places to hide. "Impossible? I heard that someone once just walked in like she owned the place, and you didn't even know until it was too late... What makes you think they cant do it again?" Sky took the rope happily, tying it around herself, loose, but not loose enough to break free, she didn't want to risk her chances just yet, she had things to do first. "I'm surprised the rope reaches so far around your fat belly. I have plenty of space, and don't worry as I said I wont run... Art will be fine right? If he starts crying we come straight back and you better look after him, or you will have hell to pay..." She would not let her brother get hurt, ever.

Marzzi huffed. The little girl probably knew of someone. If she was talking about another Angel, then it was sorry to say that the inventor she spoke was probably charred remained by now. But, Marzzi wasn't going to mention what had happened to the Angel's home. Both out of that kindness Marzzi still held towards children, and the fact that if she truly pissed him off, Marzzi still had the reminder of her ruined home and dead friends to get her to shut up, as harsh as it was. He shook his head a little. "Books, books, books, you really don't have much of a brain if you're always looking at stuff to remind yourself of things, little brat. Only use books have is to smack over someone's head." Marzzi commented, only knowing he himself had probably read one book in his whole life. One explaining the use of magic for controlled explosions in guns, which Marzzi had improved his skills as a weapon-maker upon. Since then, Marzzi hadn't touched the weird, paper things. The little brat mentioned Yume, not by name, but it still got Marzzi glaring. "That... woman, only got in because we weren't build up proper yet. With only a few of us, it was freakin' hard to stop intruders. Doesn't mean I couldn't of blasted her head open at any time though." Marzzi replied, a little bitterness to his tone. When the little brat was done tying the rope, Marzzi smirked and gave it a rough tug, to make sure it was secure enough. "Like I'd trust an Angel, even a weak, little one. And that Demon brat will be fine, let him use those lungs of his. We're keepin' you two from dyin', not cryin'." Marzzi replied. He turned around to get moving back up the stairs, towards the lit up main Temple area. He moved quick, not caring if Sky kept up, or he dragged her, because he only did this because he thought it might appeal to that annoying, soft side of himself, and get the kid to stop moaning. Needless to say, he wanted this over and done with, as soon as possible.

Sky gave Marzzi a glare over the book thing. He obviously never read if that's what he though, no wonder he was such a scatter brained, muscle headed idiot if he never enjoyed the full capacity of a good novel. "I get to emerge myself into beautiful and amazing worlds, get to read up on knowledge that may have been lost to others, take what I know and create magical and wondrous things. Books help you to see things that you may have missed from your own knowledge, give people the basics to start something brilliant... But, I guess your experience with them is just having yourself hit over the head, god knows how you act like it." Sky turned her glare to a smirk when hearing how she hit a nerve with this other woman, it was obvious Marzzi was bitter towards her, Yume. And it was obvious how she got one up against him, Sky knows what the woman is capable of, knows her past... Marzzi would do well against a fight with her, but would not win. "And yet, she's still here, how many times has she tried getting in since then? I doubt she's done all she can..." Sky didn't budge when the rope was pulled, expecting it, and she was able to keep up quite easily to his steps, but she was bitter about it, knowing he wasn't caring if she could or couldn't. Sky did look into his memories during the quick silence though, ignoring what he had to say about her brother, she knew someone would have a heart... And she knew something was bothering Marzzi, she slyly smiled when knowing what it was, but wouldn't manipulate it, she could use it. "Why are you so hostile to a mere child knuckle-head? Rope and all, you grew up in an orphanage, have a soft spot for kids... Just because I'm of another race? Doesn't make me any different..."

Marzzi snorted over what the little brat thought on books. He saw knowledge as something you improved on your own. Having to rely on words in a book to remind you of life or stuff like that meant you didn't use your own instinct enough. Having smarts meant relying on your own mind, not someone else's jotted down on paper. He folded his arms, gesturing with one large hand. "Nah, my experience is swattin' others over the head with 'em, when they're being stupid." Marzzi replied, which he was sure his students could vouch for, and all the bumps on their heads. In case of a moment of rage, Marzzi chose to ignore the girls prodding towards the Yume situation. Marzzi was trying to keep in all of his anger towards that bitch under wraps until he got to meet her head on in battle. Then she could see just what happened when the gorilla got mad, and she could feel stupid for ever mocking Marzzi. Walking in silence for a bit, Marzzi stopped when the brat spoke. Mentioning his past, and getting the brute to twist around and glare at the little witch for whatever magic she'd used. But then he smirked, as she seemed curious as to why he refused to do anything but hate her. "You're a thief. That's why. One innocent soul of a dead little girl, gone up to find a better life, only to be forced into another body and made to live again. It's sick. And what's worse, Humans aren't ever thanked for basically sacrificin' the souls of our loved ones to you... flyin' freaks, and instead, we're just treated like some dumb cattle." Marzzi stated, giving the girl a hard glare. "You might look like a little kid, and remind me of one I once knew, in fact, but you are far from an innocent little brat."

Marzzi really was nothing but a knuckle head if that's how he truly thought, he didn't look any further into things then what was on the cover of a book. Never got to read into its content and see the story within. It was depressing really, that simple truth, and Sky wanted him to at least hear another view on things, before believing in what he thinks he knows. "We don't kill those who come up and are reborn. They die a natural death or that in which is an unfortunate course of events, and those of our races who do kill, get punished because it is wrong to do. You humans have some mucked up people just like we do, and we are in the wrong because were different. I don't see my life as one that has stolen it from the dead, I've been reborn from whoever I was, I have another chance to make a difference in the world. I don't see the Humans as some dumb cattle... I see them a thriving community who have lived for centuries, improving and creating things beyond our wildest imaginations. I've watched people grow into who they are, not into where they will end up. And if you cant see that my people never meant to make you feel the way you do, then your more blind then I thought." Sky began to walk ahead of Marzzi, looking all around and taking it in, she no longer cared to escape, she wanted to make them see exactly what her race was made of, what both Angels and Demons could do. She trusted in her parents to make the right call, and spare those who have done this, trusted them to be the bigger race.

There was no changing Marzzi's opinion. He was a Saint for a reason. Spiting Angels and Demons was his job, killing them without mercy was borderline a hobby. Perhaps what made these flying beings see him a monster was the fact that Marzzi didn't seem to hesitate in killing, or remorse from it. But, they couldn't go and try to reshape Marzzi, knowing what he was like. This little brat, certainly wasn't going to get through to the brute any time soon. Her... compliment, towards Humans did get Marzzi's brow to raise a little, but it soon faded. "You're the blind one missy. But I guess when you're not the one sufferin', you just can't notice, right? Well, let me enlighten you on what your kind really view us like. We're trophies, things the flyin' freaks fight each other, and cause problems over. Because they're just so desperate to make sure we die good or bad for their own benefit. I remember being stuck inside Humanity's proudest achievement, bein' used as bait for a mere game between Angels and Demons. And it made me feel like some crappy trophy." Marzzi replied. "I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when we say we've had enough of bein' used. Even if the flyin' freaks sometimes help, it's all for their own gain in the end. Call it bitin' from the hand that feeds yah, but whatever, maybe there's nothin' wrong in bitin' back." Marzzi had finished what he said, only to hear a chuckle behind him, and a arm around his neck. "There's a brain in that thick skull of your's, who knew." Came Alex's voice. Marzzi glared towards the blind, red coat wearing gunman. He was skilled, but annoying as hell at times. "Alex." Marzzi grunted in address, watching Alex's glasses looked forwards. "Hey, want to tell me why the prisoner's allowed to wander around?"

Sky knew she couldn't change his opinion, she didn't expect to, she just wanted to get her view out, to have him hear of the other side of things, even if it didn't change it, Sky did her part. "I'm sorry to hear you think that way. I admit, some do, I hate them sort of people, their nothing but bugs under my shoe, and I wish they didn't exist. The old queen and new king tried to sort things, have you not see that way. They admire Humans, well did before you attacked. And the new Demon King was trying to turn things around, to help fix what the others before him broke. I trust my parents ability. My brother died saving them back when the evil king ruled, they took him in, often let me teach him of human life, tell him stories on what he did. They don't hide the truth on whom they were before being reborn either, but tell of what they did, so they can judge how they want their life to be... No one is some crappy trophy... But I must ask, isn't that what your trying to achieve by taking out the other races? To win the trophy on being the ones to destroy them? Tell me this, when this generation ends, and the new one is born... Will you watch, as they turn sour towards the Humans, and extract their revenge for making them grow up alone?" Sky had ignored the new man, Alex as she spoke, wanting to say a little more on the matter before it was forgotten, before she turned to Alex and giving him a half smile. "Want to tell me why your listening into another's conversation? Its incredibly rude you know, and I highly unappreciated it." Sky gave a breath before smirking up to Marzzi. "And this knuckle head and brain do not go together in a sentence unless your explaining how stupidly dumb and blind he is. Then again, it seems you have no brain either, if you think muscle head here has one..."

Marzzi didn't want to, or need to listen to a little girl's opinion. She was hardly tall enough for Marzzi to look at her without having to bend his neck, so she didn't have the years of experience needed to have a proper opinion, as far as Marzzi was concerned. He didn't even feel inclined to answer anymore, not without just repeating his own ideals, since they still sat comfortably in Marzzi's mind, even if the Angel brat tried to contradict them. He had Alex, fortunately, as a distraction when the tall guy came along. He chuckled a little when the brat decided to snap at Alex, and it got the guy's brow raised. "You do realise I can walk freely around this place? Whether or not I hear a conversation, or want to join in, is completely up to me. Besides, I've got good hearing, and it doesn't take much to hear this brute's loud voice." Alex replied, before moving and knelling down close to the Angel. "And, might I just answer the question Marzzi refused to? Because, you're a little wrong. We don't want a trophy or anything for defeating the two sky races. We just want, life to move forward. Change is an inevitable form of nature, even we can't change that. Nature has to have a strongest species, all we want is to claim that space at the top, because we all know, there's only one place for the winning, strongest race." Alex added. Marzzi huffed. The blind bounty-hunter never seemed to understand the Saints ways very well. He didn't even full on despise Angels and Demons. Alex raised a brow above his glasses, "Dumb? Yes, I have to agree that Marzzi is a little of that. But, he isn't as blind as you'd think... I should know, trust me." The blind-man replied, with a little smile. Marzzi huffed, before marching passed them. "We movin' or what?" He grunted. "Moving where, might I ask?" Alex asked, and Marzzi stopped to look back. "The... Library, I think... the brat wanted to stuff her face into books, an' I thought it would be the best way to shut her up."

Sky took a step back from Alex and frowned, he was a bigger idiot then Marzzi, and that was saying something, Sky even added him to the top of her hate list. Go him. "No race is bigger then the other, no race has top priority on the podium. And isn't trying to claim the top, the same as trying to gain a trophy. What do you expect to gain? Huh? A few years of playing god before we do exactly what your doing now, leading a pointless rebellion for change? People have tried that in the past. it never worked, life goes back to the same old story line, one chapter closes and yet another opens with the next take on what's happening, until its over and its done while you wait for another book to start, one possibly worse then the last because until you die you don't get an ending. Things get worse every chapter until the final take, you think that's going to end when the Angel and Demon race is destroyed? Humans will begin fighting each other, until nothing is left but you waiting for the next problem to arise." Sky gave a smirk to this Alex before speaking once more. "I take it back, Marzzi isn't dumb, well, not as much as you, and I can see he isn't the blindest one here." Sky proceeded to stamp on Alex's foot before walking off as far as the rope would allow, listening to what was being said, mood picking up at the word library. "YOU HAVE A LIBRARY HERE! You have got to let me move in there with my brother, if your collection is even half as good as Shiro's was then I will happily stay around reading them all, rope or not..."

Alex had rose his brow. To be honest, expecting a blind-man to understand books was a hard task, even Marzzi understood literature better than the bounty-hunter, which was saying something. "I can handle Human fighting Human, it's part of my job to part-take in that. And life is just one big story. We live, and then like every good story we get to end. We live and die. Except... right now, we don't really get to die, do we?" Alex commented back, before getting up. Marzzi watched as the little brat seemed to get more and more furious with the blind-man, and he chuckled when she attempted to punish Alex's foot. Honestly, her tiny little foot just bounced right off of the bounty-hunter's boots, but it was funny to watch Alex bullied by a little child. As the brat got excited to go the library, Marzzi began to move towards it. "Hell no, you ain't movin' up a floor, I can barely handle your whinin' even when you're underground." Marzzi commented, passing Alex and offering the Saint a pat on the shoulder. "I'm being bullied by a tiny pigeon, Marzzi." Alex jested, and Marzzi chuckled. "Damn right you are. Sorry to have this pest annoy you, but it's either let her out or let her use those lungs to make us all go mad." Marzzi replied quietly. He took off towards the library, letting Sky lead like some pup, until they'd reached the doors and Marzzi tugged back on the rope. "In here." He commented, before pushing open the doors to the Saint's Library. It was a big and impressive room, and very well stocked. Funded by the parents of the brainy twins that basically lived in the room. In fact, Marzzi looked around expecting to see them lurking somewhere, only to find the room very quiet. He looked up towards one of the wooden supports and growled, realising why the room was almost empty. "Oi! Havok!" He called up to the weird, Kyuban boy. Havok didn't respond straight away, instead glancing down towards the pair, and dropping a half eaten book down to the floor below him. "No matter... what choose... All taste... same... horrible."

"Why is facing off against another race so different from fighting a Human? The only differences is, they can fly and live a little longer... Oh you die, it just means you get the second half of the story, get to leave one life behind and start another, like reincarnation." Sky really hated this man, and hated that she was so small that she couldn't hurt him, she knew they found it more funny then threatening, and she vowed to change their views when she got older. Sky pouted up to Marzzi, he really knew nothing did he. "If I moved up a floor into the library I would get lost in the books you wouldn't even hear me breath." Which was true, she knew half the time she was so calm and relaxed when reading that the only thing to bring her back was either her parents, Hane or her brother, otherwise she might as well be dead to the world... She would convince them eventually, perhaps one of the nicer people here. Like Jasper or Hino. Sky growled when hearing them talk about her, but said nothing more, perhaps if she was good for a few days they would consider letting her stay in here. She rushed into the room, eyes widening at its size and how full it was, already noticing volumes of books she never even heard of before... It was paradise. Sky did let out a scream when seeing this Havok, not because of how he looked, but the fact he had half destroyed a novel of literature. "Ahhh, you savage, how could you do that to a book... The poor pages."
