"There had to have been at least six of them."

"I'm going after him." His voice didn't invite any arguments. He flipped open his journal and checked if Omi had left him a message.
"Omi's in the third floor of the first apartment building. It'd be best if you'd stay with him."

"Fine." He took a moment to reply to Omi before closing the the journal and nodded. "We better go then."

But that didn't mean they weren't going to try.
"The lab is on the other side of the mountains, it'll probably take us at least half a day to get there," Sena said, starting to quickly walk toward the bridge and the mountains beyond it.

Even if they wouldn't succeed in finding the laboratory, some research on the mountains wouldn't hurt.
Besides, Aya didn't think he could just wait around and worry. He'd had to do something.

His eyes narrowed, tracking the mountain lion's approach before throwing his weapon. The lion dodged it, but it was now wary of Sena.
The chakram circled back, Sena caught it in one gloved hand.

Aya spared the curses for later and jumped into action. He aimed towards the animal's head with his saia, not willing to kill if it was possible to scare the attacker away. Animals usually didn't attack if they weren't mad from hunger or frenzied from fear. He hoped the lion's survival instincts would kick in eventually.
That was if it was alone.
And just as if on a cue, the bushes behind Sena spat out two more, the other jumping at the boy while the other circled around slowly. Aya's hit missed its target but he didn't pause when the big cat spun around, instead he used the opening to dash closer to Sena.

This could get nasty quickly. "I didn't know these things hunted in groups!" He swung his chakram around again, causing another lion to back up with a snarl. Being attacked, it was getting dark, it was cold, snowing...this was not the smartest thing to do ever. Ironic, if Aya and Sena died trying to rescue Ken.

The lion yelped pitifully as it fell. Aya didn't have time to find out more as he was too busy staggering past the dying animal, claws and teeth sinking to his back as the lion he had left behind had used the clear opening to its advantage and was now attached to the assassin's back with its sharp appendage.

Though since the lion had a mouthful of Aya, there was no response. Sena gritted his teeth and slashed at the base of the creature's head with his bloodstained chakram.

He bit his teeth together to keep inside any protests for the claws that slipped out from his flesh. His wings were torn, bloodied feathers raining down in the wake of the dead animal.
"Fuck... this shit," was all he said between tight lips. He shifted a bit as he eyed the surroundings to make sure the danger had ceased. He had been in luck, nothing important was broken, just flesh wounds which would eventually clot and suck in the fabric of his shirt as a new skin. Patching up later would be pain in the ass, but better than having an artery ripped open or bones broken.

"...We should go back. You're injured, it's getting dark, and it's snowing. We're not equipped for this, and we don't know the terrain." They wouldn't be doing Ken any favors by dying while trying to rescue him. Sena didn't want to leave him out there, but...there it was.
Reply
Even if Ken didn't know who the hell Aya was, he knew who Ken was and having few wounds wouldn't turn him from this path.
Although, he wasn't here alone. And while he didn't know who Sena was, he could relate to this problem with his situation with Ken. Aya didn't want to risk the boy's life. If he could convince Sena to go back and help Omi...
"I'll go check a little further on my own. You go back and report to Omi. Grab some light and bandages, and meet me at the foot of the mountain."
He didn't think it was going to work. But it was worth a shot.
