Brandon eventually made his way over to the castle where 'Kemuri' and his 'troops' were residing. Landing on the roof, He walked up to what he saw was a large air vent. He wasnt sure what to expect in terms of security, so he knelt beside the vent and started to examine it for any kind of security.
Finding some wiring connecting to the grate, He only assumed it was a pressure trigger, or it was connected to a sensor that would notify to occupants of an intruder. He took out his wrist computer from his pocket, and strapped it to his wrist. He had refurbished it, and brought Aeva back online. The screen came to life as he saw his AI smiling back at him. "Ok Aeva, Heres the plan. I need you to infiltrate the security system, and learn how it works. Then Record a few minutes of what every security camera records, and learn how to blind other sensors. But at the first sign that your detected, Eject back to here." He said, as Aeva nodded to him with a smile.
Brandon clipped two of the PC's wires onto the security wires, as the AI downloaded itself into Kemuri's security system through a back door. "Good Luck Aeva... Your gonna need it."

Quite... everything was too quite, it had been too quite around here for too long, nothing ever seemed to happen around the castle, the last thing to any have significance was when the armored woman with sword came a knocking at the door steps. It was a boring state with nothing else to do around the building, Anri had long run out things to accomplish in the structure, already he had worked with buildings defenses and improved the defensive capabilities by at least thirty percent from what they were before. It wouldn't hold the rebels out for long but no army of well trained humans would be able to siege the castle and be able to walk away from it. Other than the few idle tasks left over there really much else to do other than sit on his ass inside the newly reformed guards station.
Over the few weeks Anri had taken his job under Kermuri he had gone and removed all the kings personnel that where stationed inside the control room as Anri was the only one that should have control over the many monitors and defenses, as well trained as the men were none of them seemed to have seen any combat, and there was no real way to know how they might react to if and when the rebels were to attack them. No one in the room had dared to question his position most humans didn't have the backbone to even look Anri directly in the eye so they had quitely marched out of the area leaving the alien to his own devices which involved turning the command center into his own personal pad. Though he kept the monitoring equipment Anri took out the old worn couches and replaced them with a modern looking ones that were able to support his massive weight. Off in the main of the room Anri had set up his own personal target dummy, nothing that provided too great an workout but helped him to focus on just how fighting a human would be like, learning the ends and out of the human body so when he finally faced the rebels he would a better understanding of where they're vitals lay.
However even with the mods he had gone around doing to the room with new lights, tv's, tiki-bar and furniture he found himself bored as he sat in front of the monitors as he slowly flipped from one camera to another. It was when a small blur as he passed idly through the cameras that caught his attention, flipping back to the screen he saw what appeared to be a male human as they made their way into the castle vicinity, finding some difficulty with the walls that surrounding the mightyly castle the person crossed the great field and slolwy scaled the outer stone walls of the structure. It was slow going but Anri was surprised that none of the guards that paroled the outer walls had taken notice of the man but then again it was the familiar energy that Anri was sensing that brought curiosity too the person. Compared to one of the normal humans the persons strength was beyond theirs which might have led for the gaurds not to take notice of his blurry movements as even the camera where having issues tracking his position when he ran across the field. Switching camera as the person scaled the sides of the wall Anri waited and watched as the man reached the roof top when it finally dawned upon the alien of just who he was looking at.
"Well, well what do we have here?" He zoomed in the camera on the boys face, finally he recongized him as the boy he met when Rosen and himself was tangling with that beast in penguin village...such a strange place, filled with even stranger people. Until today Anri had almost completely forgotten about the boy.
"No long time no see, hope you didn't have plans for today." He grinned as he reached forward pressing a small button on the man console before him.
"Jenny, I got something that might be of interest too ya if your bored." He let go of the button in case the woman would try and talk back.
"Now how best to deal with this?" Anri thought for a few seconds before the computer before him began to flash red altering anyone that the system was being attempted to be hacked from a nearby source.
Turning his head up to the screen he took notice that the boy was bent over one of the external air vents and seemed to be working with the small panel on the side that controlled air flow and temperature inside the building.
"Hmmm... computer what data is trying to be hacked into?" Anri asked the system AI.
"Outside intrusion is trying to infiltrate the security system, which you are currently at."
"Ha! Really? How about that?... Well let them in and then isolate the system keeping the damn virus or whatever it is inside the system. Then cut the wires and active the back up system downstairs, its a bit out of date but its backed up every day."
"Yes sir... tracking....tracking... program is in.... closing access behind it... complete... hack is isolcated in the security system with no feed back to the original source. Hard line cut. Access in or out of system is impossible. Hack is one hundred percent contained. Secondary system is operational control as switched over to down stairs."
"Good job now cut the power to this security terminal till I have more time to work with this console."
As the power cut off from the system the screens turned dark leaving Arni basking in the stung lights over the ceiling, he would wait till either Jenn responded or too see what the boy did next before deciding on what to do next, where he could take the boy down on his own he was curious as too why he was even here in the first place. He was quick to admit that the alien didn't know much of what went on around this world so he sough the assistance of Jenn, she had a great knowledge of this world and maybe even who this man was or what his purpose was here... maybe he was one of the rebels? It would make sense, after all he was hacking the security terminal, and the only reason for that was to get information or shut the system down, though with Anri at the helm there was little chance of that happening. Pressing against the small mic system that placed in his ear he called out to all the troops on the closed circuit radios.
"Attention all castle security stay away from the roof tops, direct order, non compliance will be met with my wraith.Also get someone down to the secondary security terminal, there is someone of interest on the roof. Keep constant surveillance on them. " He let go of the button knowing all too well they would stay away, they had seen what the alien could do and no one wanted to be caught in the fire of that.
"Yes sir!" A few voice rang into his the mike that was placed in his ear.
"We've reached the secondary terminal and have eyes on the target awaiting further orders."
"10-4, stay at bay and watched, alert me if there is any change in his position."

It was... strange being back in the castle to say the least, Jenn had been spending so much time outside that she'd not returned to 'her' hallway in quite a while, even the brief attack on the castle and Rosen's arrival had really only brought her back to the castle briefly as she had already been in the general area when Rosen had arrived and afterward well she hadn't exactly had much choice in the matter with Kemuri ordering her and Anri to bring in the woman. Outside of that event she'd spent all of her time out in the forest with Vixi trying her best to keep the existence of the girl a secret from all who visited or remained within the castle's walls. Even Anri, much as she felt a strange amount of trust toward the Vennor it was simply far to much of a risk to let him know about her, he reported directly to Kemuri and while Vixi posed no threat to the hyena faced bastard she wanted there to be no way for him to even be in the position to potentially compromise her safety. Other than watching over Vixi she'd made a few ventures out to explore the Earth, mostly exploring the nearby city of 'Central' and making a few new friends in the process while also learning quite a bit about the Earth's history, unfortunately perhaps a bit TOO much.
Jenn frowned at the memory of some of the things she had found about what had gone on since she had left the world, suffice it to say it had shaken her to know what humanity was capable of and greatly bothered her that at no point had there apparently been a Guardian capable of reigning it all in, she liked to think that perhaps it had simply been due to a lack of a Guardian, that perhaps Kaladar had ascended to the rank after a long time without any Guardians. A strange clicking sound ushered from one of the walls causing Jenn to jump in surprise as rather unexpectedly the voice of the only person she was truly friendly with on any real level in this castle spoke up, Jenn's nose wrinkled as she realized it was some sort of modern communication device, while she'd certainly found SOME modern technology to be of interest and perhaps even a bit fun it was still always a bit of a process getting used to and quieting her distaste for new technology, if only she had been given a chance to experiance some of it BEFORE Unity, then perhaps her opinion of it would not have been soured so greatly.
"Jenny, I got something that might be of interest too ya if your bored." Jenn's expression soured further as Anri used a much maligned nickname for her, it was so simple of an addition to her normal nickname, one that seemed innocuous enough but had been over the years been utterly ruined by the efforts of many, Unity, Ketsueki, and a great deal of others all loved to call her that for no readily discernable reason, she'd never incited use of the nickname and even her summoners always used her full name, but somehow among those that meant her or her loved ones arm it had managed to catch on, of course that was not ALWAYS the case. No had been pleasant enough and had even gone to great lengths to help her and yet had also called her by that name, so perhaps it was not the perfect indicator of a malign intent. Of course that didn't mean she would just accept the new nickname from Anri. The communication box before her indicated that the message was from the security room which really didn't help her much as she had never actually bothered to memorize the layout of the castle, she knew how to get to the throne room from here and how to get to the main gate and the holding cells from the throne room but ultimately that was it. Luck would have it however that Anri was not one to suppress his ever growing power, he was like a great beacon in the night indicating his exact position relative to hers.
Now all she had to do was figure out how to get a message back to him, the box had a few buttons and a couple of switches and yet none of them actually indicated what they DID, clearly this thing was intended for use by the guards of the castle who had extensive training on use uses but for Jenn it was utterly incomprehensible. With a frown Jenn did as she always did when faced with a piece of technology that she needed to operate and knew nothing about. She proceeded to press every button and flip every switch until it did something that seemed right, at least one of the buttons which would have been held for of course the longest amount of time was a 'call' button one intended to bring attention to the communication device that was to be contacted by means of a a frustratingly high pitched screech, eventually however after the screech button was pressed at least twice more Jenn would stumble upon the communications switch and her voice would be heard clear as day "You infuriating hunk of metal and wire if you do not do as I say I WILL destroy you! Oh.. wait.. communication on? It's working? HAH I knew I could get it... er.. I mean I will be there shortly Anri." Jenn realized just after her bout of fury and cheer of victory that of course if the machie was communicating then of course that meant Anri could hear her, the switch would be promptly flipped once again before Jenn darted as fast as possible away from the damnable machine zipping through the upper halls until she finally arrived at the upper security room.
Opening the door she found Anri in the sort of room that was the bane of her existence, it was filled to the brim with machines of all sorts and many more of the viewing screens that she had learned in her excursions into the city were known as 'monitors' and were in this form of application quite aptly named as they were used along with a form of visual recording device to 'monitor' a specific area, most certainly this technology was an amazing feat though nonetheless still the bane of her existance "I would prefer if you did not call me Jenny Anri" She said as she entered the room "I have very much only had bad experiences with those who call me by that name, people who have threatened myself and my family for the most part." She said before turning to look at the monitors "and more importantly, what did you want to show me?" Jenn said her expression turning far more pleasant once she was done requesting that he not use 'Jenny' any longer, unless the Vennor halted her Jenn would likely lean against something that almost certainly ought not be leaned against likely at no danger to herself but perhaps at risk of damaging the machines at work in the security terminal.

It wasnt long, that Brandon had to wait before a messagereturned to his PC. "Aeva? What happened? Is that you?" He asked, wondering what was going on. "Brandon... Trapped....Security....panel.... rescue....They knew ....I was coming." was all that it said,as Brandon looked back up to the grate.
"Knew we were coming? How?" He asked, as he started to look around. It wasnt long before before Brandon spotted a camera looking right at him. "God Damn it!" He said in frustration. It was enough time for anyone on the other end to see who it was they were looking at, Before he drew out his energy rifle, powered it up, and took out the camera itself with a few shots from the weapon itself.
"Damn it all, two people to rescue now... This is getting to be too much.... I have to get Aeva first..."He said before Verlith interrupted the conversation with "Dont get yourself killed over trying to rescue all these girls Romeo..."
Brandon just tried to ignore what Verlith said before he grabbed the grate, and yanked it open. If People knew he was there now, Wasnt much point in sneaking around too much now, but if Aeva was trapped in a security terminal of any sorts, he would have to find that terminal first....

Anri sat in silence as he awaited any response from Jenn, he was sure he could handle anything that the boy could dish out but he thought Jenn could use a little bit of action, it had been a long while since he had seen her fight and there was no need for her skills to get rusty... though given just how longed she lived that might never be a possibility with her. Glancing over the dark monitors and faded buttons he wondered just what it was that the human had used to get into the system, there were many types of computers out there but he didn't see many with such sufficient power from a hand held device. With the roller chair that he was in Anri pushed himself across the length of the security panel and over to a smaller computer that still had power too it. With the notice of his presence the screen came alive with many numbers and letters scrolling across its screen, to anyone that had never used the system before it would appear as thought it was just a complex algorithm or a random jumble of symbols, being that it was his own creation though he had all the control of the system. Placing his thumb on a scanner a bright red light would envelope his finger as the screen would take the random assortment of symbol and began to line them from the top of the screen to the bottom matching that of a helix.
"Computer, log in."
"DNA match, vocal match, heat signature match, welcome Sir Anri."
"Ya, ya skip the pleasantries, you scanned all the information that bypassed through the main security system right?"
"It is what I was programmed to do."
"Good, the latest entry, a attempt was made to infiltrate the main system, what was the program type?"
"Scanning... Pulling up information...ERROR, system type 00000000 is unknown too any current data banks."
"So alien?"
"It does not appear that way, the design seemed to be base off human technology... so does the model."
"Bring the model up."
On his command the AI appeared on the screen though it was just a copy of her data which was transferred from coding into something that visualized a human.
"That's an unusual AI.... I would run tests on it but the power line was severed, and it would take hours to fix...." Anri was going into deep thought as the microphone in his ears began to screech, glancing sideways at where the mic was at he waited wide eyed and dumbstruck for Jenn to finish her angered rant.
"Roger.... Jenn... for fuck sake we need to get you a phone or something... I don't think my ear could take another round with your voice." Anri shook his head as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
Reaching forward Anri opened one of the many shelves that linned the station he sat at as he rummaged though the cabinets trying to find something. While on the outside everything in the room appeared to be well organized the real truth behind it was that Anri just shoved everything into the corners and every available space he could find leaving it like...this mess. Eventually just tossing everything aside he pulled out a small flash drive not bigger than his thumb, he thought it odd that humans still had these around after all these years but it would do great for now. The outer shell was composed of a titanium composite, which made it durable and light, with a small power source located inside of it, it was prefect for protecting and recovering data and with data extracting program that had been uploaded into it was prefect for the job. Pushing again with the chair he slid back over to the main security terminal just as Jenn walked in.
Glancing over at the sound of the door being opened he saw it was Jenn but her pause at the door way made him grin as she looked over all the monitors and servers that were stacked against the wall. Over the time he had talked to the woman he had learned her distaste of any modern technology, though he wasn't exactly sure why that was, she did live a long time and the sudden changes could have been difficult for her to adapt too, either that or there were stories that hadn't been shared from her yet. At her comment Anri cocked his head side ways at her and then turned his attention back to that task at hand as he pushed the flash drive into one of the available ports as a small light flashed on the end of the driver.
"Computer show images from five minutes prior, location roof top, camera thirty five."
"Yes sir... images loaded. Though any video after is impossible, camera thirty-five is out of commission."
"Great...more shit I have to fix." Anri mumbled.
Off on the small computer the images of the human would appear as he attempted to work with outer access panel.
"That is what I wanted to show you, seems like we have a uninvited guest here. I don't know about you but I'm met him once before, shouldn't be too much of an issue but wanted too see what you thought before I went to get my hands dirty."
As he said this the flash drive was downloading any recent data from the system, though the computer its self had no power it was only able to do this with the power that was held inside the drive, though the computer would not be able to preform any other processes with the small amount of power that was in the drive. It was a quick process and the light turned green when it finished. With a smile growing over his face he pulled the flash drive out of the computer and held it in his hand as he swiveled around to face Jenn.
"Data extracted, system type 00000000, uploaded." A small voice rang out from the drive.
"Too give you a quick update, that boy tried to hack into the security systems here and I was able to lock his program in it, trapping it from escape. With all the power cut from the system I then exacted into this flash drive, whoever that boy is he'll most likely come and try to save it, given that its and AI and not just a normal program. He's no ordinary human though he was able to get past the guards and scale the walls with relative ease. I was hopping you might have some insight on the situation since you've been on this world longer than I have." He noted as he crossed his hands over one another.

It was a curious thing to watch the scene displayed on the monitors, she had once dabbled in the art of scrying magics the ability to view events taking place elsewhere and at certain tiers of spells even the ability to glance into events that had occurred within a reasonable amount of time, from what little she understood of the machines that were involved in what Anri was displaying the core concepts were similar the recording devices were in a sense scrying spells that watched over specific areas and then transferred the information they took in to the monitors in this room simple enough really though the means of actually recording and keeping hold of an event was beyond her understanding she did know that it was both possible and common. Watching the human slip past the security measures built into the castle and evade guards was actually somewhat amusing, for all Kemuri had done to ensure the safety of the castle it was evidently not quite as impressive as he might have hoped.
Jenn's expression contorted into a look of mixed confusion and surprise as a voice came through the device that was linked to the various monitors, it had a strange almost metallic hint to it that put her on edge, it reminded her very much of the metallic edge Toiu's voice had possessed when they had first met and it took a SIGNIFICANT effort from Jenn to not just blast the machine on instinct alone, the only thing that really stopped her was that she knew that it was perhaps something about the machine that did that rather than being a UNITY related enemy "It talks?" Jenn said not even bothering to hide her look of distrust toward the talking machine, Anri explained that the events that he had displayed were what he had brought her here over and that furthermore the intruder was in fact someone he was acquainted with and by his tone it was certainly not someone he was friendly with.
Jenn raised an eyebrow at that statement and then looked back at the monitor to take another look at the intruder, the human was not exactly the most impressive specimen of humanity she had ever seen but of course looks could very easily be deceiving, reaching out with her energy sense Jenn found the foreign signal but found it was not exactly 'foreign' to her it was one she had evidently encountered before and while she was having a hard time placing the face the signal could not lie. And that was when it hit her, she looked a bit closer and caught a look at the face and her expression twisted once again taking on a look of distaste as she recognized the figure, she could not bring up the name of the individual but now she knew at least vaguely who it was, he was the human who had been chasing Vixi and who had done something terrible enough to make the normally TOO trusting and loving Vixi incredibly anxious at the very mention of the events that had lead to her arrival. Anri then began talking in what she was certain was the common tongue but a great many of the words meant little to nothing to her understanding of it leading her presently disgruntled expression to falter slightly as it made way for confusion to spread across her face "I er... I will be honest Anri I only understood some of that. Anri I believe I have neglected to inform you that I have no real concept of how this technology functions"
"I am aware of him as well." Jenn muttered a fire burning in her eyes unlike anything Anri had seen from the woman before, it felt almost TOO convenient that this brat of a human was HERE of all places. Did he know Vixi was here? Was he actually foolish enough to think he could pursue her here and NOT face her fury again? She'd had to hold back in order to not outright murder him before and the only reason he'd even gotten a chance to avoid a worse beating had been due to the arrival of the amethyst dragon. "He's not a threat at least not a physical one, even not I can tell he's barely stronger than I remember him being. I encountered him on a brief excursion of mine out of the castle walls a... friend.. of mine was in danger I'd sensed her power signature spike erratically which signaled me to her location. He was as far as I could tell one of the threats to her and at the very least the primary reason for her erratic energy levels due to her attempts to escape him. I er.. I am unsure exactly why he would be here however he certainly could not be here to come after myself, he was and still is far enough below my power that I need not even use my full strength against him. I do not recall him being particularly capable in battle but what little fighting there was he was not much a part of it, when I confronted him he posed no challenge, he made attempts to fight back once another powerful being arrived seeking his head but his efforts were mostly ineffectual or at best distracting to it." Jenn chose her words carefully to avoid as much mention of Vixi as possible hoping Anri would be more interested in the knowledge of what the human was capable of then the very sketchy way she had described there meeting.

After he tored the grate off, he shouldered his weapon and started to crawl into the duct, disappearing from the roof. Being as quiet as he could, He thought "I have to find Aeva quickly.... If shes not tethered to her base source, Her code will deteriorate at a frightful rate." as he kept some of his attention ahead of him. "You sure Brandon? Shes pretty advanced..."Verlith replied.
"Her code is like a bridge...If it doesnt have supports, it will collapse. Shes not fully 'dependent' yet..."He added, as he saw another grate ahead of him a considerable distance, but he quickly closed the gap, but not before seeing another sensor and a camera on the top of the vent. To taunt the camera, he waved to it, before grabbing the Camera, and ripping it off the mount, removing its wires. "Cant have them spying on me still..."He thought, before he peered into the grate, and saw it was part of a restroom.
He could hear movement, and leaned in closer and saw that castle guards were using the restroom. He quietly removed the grate, and grinned. He remembered this scene from a movie, as he saw a guard enter the stall he was about to go in, and sit down with a paper up. Most likely reading the news or something, Brandon quickly pulled himself into the hole as the last guard left. He almost landed on the guards feet, but barely missed and he remained quiet.
A few moments later, the guard moved his paper down, and saw Brandon. Looking up at him, He had a confused look on his face as Brandon said "Beg your pardon...Forgot to knock..." as he then sent a strong right hook at the guards face. Much to his dismay, the punch was too powerful, as he heard a gross cracking sound, and saw the guards head hanging at a rather gross angle... "Yech..." He said, as he opened the stall door to make sure he was alone. He saw another camera, but it was point in another direction.
He snuck up to the camera, and instead of yanking out the wires, he could turned the direction of the camera to the corner of the room, rendering it useless. He made his way over to the door, put his ear to it... And when he did not hear anything, He quietly opened the door and snuck the door.
"Where to go first... Damn it, if only I had a map...."

"Yes Jenn it talks, you'll find that most modern machines talk, those that don't have only been programmed that way." He watched the woman as she held a grimace on her face as she peered over the computer screen, it always amused the alien to watch Jenn work any piece of machinery not ever knowing fully what she as doing, even more amusing too the fact that woman seem highly intelligent when it came to anything else but modern tech. Such things as electronics were not just cut out for some people and Jenn was one of those, it was a shame though, they made Anri's lives and many others considerably easier. Though given the woman's life span tasks that would take years for mortals simply wouldn't matter too her, being ageless made patience something she would have long ago mastered, mortals... they liked things fast, and the faster something could get done the quicker they could move onto the next mindless task in their life. Eventually it didn't really matter though one day they would all be dead leaving the woman the only one to remain, even with Anri's expansive life he knew that one day too he would fall under the wraith of age though his life span was considerable larger than these humans.
Ending his explanation there was no need for him to shocked that Jenn didn't understand what he had been saying, he had done it more as a formality for her sake, but in the end all the she needed to know is that there was someone trying to enter the castle that wasn't supposed to be there.
"It's fine, just know someone is trying to get in here that shouldn't, pretty much the main point I'm trying to get across here. We also need to make you sit down and work one of these things, you'll find they don't bite." He noted as he pushed his swivel chair over to her and began to work at secondary screen leaving the imagine up fro Jenn to look over.
Taking a look over the screen of the computer Jenn's face held the grimace as the familiar face came to her, Anri glanced over his shoulder and took notice of her expression, it appeared she did know of this man...making things all the more interesting. He thought it odd in such a populated world that two different people could have had a encounter with the same person, just who was this human to her and why was he here in the first place, surely he was not planning on assaulting the castle? Even with his lack of sensing others strengths Anri had the general idea of where the males power laid and it was no where near the strength of the last one to siege the castle and even then the two of them had been there to stop her, along with Rosen but his presence had more of a nuisance than anything helpful. Working with the computer screen Anri could not see Jenn's face as she spoke but the hint of fire that blazed in it told him that the man was not anywhere near a friend to Jenn, which brought a smile to his face.
Listening while she spoke Anri began to mess with the wires that connected the computer to the main servers, with a few wires pulled the internet acess was cut off and server acess was taken away leaving the station in a closed system, nothing in and nothing out of it. Pushing the drive into one of the open slots the screen lit up asking for permission before it took the data that was inside of it. Closing out the option Anri took the data and made a copy of it, though the system was slower than its nearby big brother it would only take a few minutes.
"Computer, copy files on drive, leave in a firewall, then close off the folder." He noted as she spun to face Jenn.
"Jenn have I ever told you how beautiful you are when you talk like that?" He joked with a smile, though he quickly changed topics to the matter at hand.
"From the sounds of it your young friend was lucky that you were there to help her and it also appears that you share no love for this fellow." He grinned, having a good idea of who she was talking about after the arrival of the fox girl a few weeks ago in a rather battered condition. Anri watched the camera often and there wasn't too much that escaped his fine tuned eye, though he hadn't brought the discovery of the young girl up to Jenn, it was her own private matter and mattered little to him. He was sure the dog-man would have liked to know that the girl was living right outside his own castle but he wasn't being paid to rat Jenn out for whatever she did. As far as he was concerned the girl was just a blur on the cameras, having deleted every trace of her from every video that was in the storage. The girl must have meant a lot to Jenn if she had gone to such great lengths to hide her and every one needed something they cared about. All in all it was more for a future investment for Anri, if Jenn was upset having her secret pets location revealed then she would not work nearly as hard, this way she got what she wanted and Anri had aid on his side... though... the though of blackmail did pass through his mind occasionally... though he wasn't looking much forward to having to fight Jenn once again, she was beast and a challenging one if that.
"Right now I'm making a copy of the files in a special... you know what never mind. I don't want to insult your intellect but I feel like even if I told you what I was doing you might not understand me, just know I have what he wants which means he'll eventually be coming this way, or at least to find it. This castle is a big place, even I got turned around when first arriving. Point is its my job to stop him, I can do it alone or with your help as it seems that you have a bone to pick with this man, and I don't mind sharing the glory." He noted as the small mic in his ear went off.
"Sir."
"Yes what is it?"
"A few camera's have been taken out across the palace."
"Which was the last to be destroyed."
"Well it wasn't destroyed but camera twenty nine on the side floor nearest the restrooms has been moved to an incorrect direction and automatic controls on it are not responding."
"Alright, keep me up dated and keep the guards out of the seconds floor, he is no ordinary human and the men will fall as if they were made of paper." He noted as he ended communications.
"It seems like our friend is causing some havoc on the second floor, why don't we pay him a little visit?" As he ended his statement the computer dinged letting him know the process was done.
"Great, get to work analyzing that data. I want a full report and data stream when I get back here." Anri told the machine as he pushed away from the computer and slide towards the door way.
Reaching the door he hopped up from the chair and twist the nob showing the outside corridor, turning over his shoulder he glanced at Jenn with waiting in his eyes.
"Ladies first." He laughed having picked that saying up during his stay here on Earth.

It was troubling to have someone such as this human so close to where she and Vixi were living, she had little to no idea on exactly what had brought him here for all she knew he could have come here looking to start a brawl with or otherwise attack Anri, happened upon the castle himself and was some sort of thief looking for some easy money, or he could of course actually be here looking for herself or Vixi. If she had to pick Jenn quite hoped it was the second option, the first would almost certainly lead to a most unpleasant and rather short existence for the human. He'd already made the mistake of putting Anri on edge once before and to come here to directly challenge him would certainly not be good for his chances of survival considering how vast the difference in power was between them was, while him being after Vixi posed much the same issue but instead of having Anri as the threat to his existence it would be herself, if he managed to slip up and admit seeking out Vixi there would be no safety from him from her wrath and almsot certainly there would need to be some repairs to the castle. The second option however would give him a chance.
If he was a thief foolish enough to try his luck with the castle then maybe just maybe she could convince Anri to let him live, almost certainly he'd get a bit roughed up by her otherworldly companion but she could theoretically work something out to let the idiot live, maybe convince Anri that his intrusion was in fact a GOOD thing that it had revealed faults in the security that he had not been aware of and that such a thing was worthy of letting him live. It really would ultimately depend on how bad Anri and the humans interactions had gone, he'd seemed displeased by his appearance but it lacked the same sort of fire she knew had burned in her own eyes when she'd realized who it was, then again Anri was very good at keeping himself in check so knowing exactly how he felt about the human was tough.
Regardless this would need to be handled in disguise, the human knew he base form as when she had confronted him she had made no effort to hide her appearance a small part of her even wanting to come down as the very picture of a wrathful djinn, to that end even as they spoke Jenn's form melted into her human guise the form that she had first gotten to know Anri in and one that was unfamiliar to the human. As her transformation took hold Jenn watched Anri interact with the machine and even explain that it was in fact COMMON for them to speak. Whatever he had done with thee strange tiny machine in his hand was beyond her grasp as he spoke of drives and walls of fire, the 'firewall' seemed almost certainly to just be a name for something else as fara s she could tell as there was no observable source of fire in the room and almost certainly an actual wall of fire would not be something ideal to have so near to this machinery.
Jenn raised an eyebrow briefly at Anri's comment on how 'beautiful' she was when she had been talking about the human before quickly shifting the conversation back to the matters at hand, while he spoke Jenn found herself wondering exactly how much of the Vennor's strange sort-of flirting was a joke considering how frequent it was becoming. She didn't personally MIND it but rather found it just a touch odd in their initial encounter he'd shown no signs of interest because of hoe different they were at least physically speaking. Jenn was dragged away from her line of thought by what had seemingly been a causal comment from Anri but to Jenn was something worthy of her complete attention as he spoke, the comment would have to many been as simple as it sounded but Jenn had picked up on the most important work that Anri had used. Young. She hadn't said a word about her 'friend' being young. Her eyes moved back to the various monitors taking another look at the ones that did not feature the human, the majority focused on the inside of the castle, the various halls and rooms but a few appeared to focus on the outside even going as far out that Jenn recognized some of the areas, places where she and Vixi had been
It appeared that Anri knew about Vixi, whether he had passed that information on to Kemuri however was questionable, it seemed unlikely that the Hyena would just keep quiet about this sort of thing which meant that perhaps he had kept his silence? As Jenn put everything together Anri explained that he apparently had something that human wanted and that he needed to stop him from poking around the castle, he then offered her a chance to join in on taking him down because of her distaste for him. "Sure" Jenn said her tone coming off a bit unsure as her mind was still a bit too focused on how to approach the face that Anri might knew more about Vixi than she had intended, at least for as long as the Vennor was working for Kemuri. If things had been different and Kemuri was out of the picture she would have had no issue with Anri meeting and generally knowing about Vixi.
A brief conversation between Anri and the machine-man indicated that the human was beginning to cause a bit of a ruckus taking out a few of the recording devices and causing another to function improperly. Thankfully Anri ordered the guards away from the second floor most of them were above average compared to the rest of humanity due to the training they received but were still FAR below even the strange human's level of power. At Anri's behest she would exit the room first rolling her eyes in amusement over his statement "How would you like to handle this? Either one of us can handle him with relative ease, he'd need to have both increased his power tremendously AND learned to mask it in order for him to have surpassed myself and as last time we fought we were all but equal I imagine the same is true when compared to you."

Running with info he had from movies and anime, Brandon was pretty much running blind without Aeva's information. He knew he had to get her back quickly, Or she would be lost forever, and so his first priority was Aeva's retrieval. And if he met Jenn on the way, or found out where she was, that was something to be put on the plus side.
He was making his way down a hall, before he heard a voice further down, down another hallway adjacent to the one he was in now. It was faint, but it was a voice of that of a womans. "How would you like to handle this? Either one of us can handle him with relative ease, he'd need to have both increased his power tremendously AND learned to mask it in order for him to have surpassed myself and as last time we fought we were all but equal I imagine the same is true when compared to you." The voice said, and he stopped for a moment.
Something was familiar about that voice, something he couldnt quite place. It was obvious the person wasnt alone, as he took his rifle off of his shoulder, and used his Empower technique to make parts of it glow again. Unfortunately, anyone with a ability to sense energy could feel the energy in the rifle as well now. "Well, no point in hiding now..." He said to himself, as Verlith replied "I think Sneaking was out the window long before you even got to the castle...Just, dont get yourself killed ok?" as Brandon nodded to himself.
He took a deep breath, as he made his way to the corner where the two hallways joined. He could hear the footsteps, as he slowly peeped around the corner to see who it was that was coming. He recognized Anri, but the other woman he was unfamiliar with. "I dont know who that is, But They know I am here. Better to confront them then for them to get me first... MAybe they will respect me taking the initiative..." He thought, trying to think if this was all a big mistake or not..
He then walked out infront of Anri and Jenn and aimed his weapon at Anri. Why Anri? You can blame his upbringing to never initiate a fight with a woman, although it was alright to defend yourself if the woman attacked first. "Alright, Both of ya stay where you are! Im not here to pick a fight, Im only here to retrieve something that belongs to me, and someone your holding prisoner here!" He said, keeping his eyes pinned on Anri, but occasionally sweeping his eyes back to Jenn for a moment, then back to Anri.
"Very nice Brandon....Very nice..."
Meanhile, Aeva's captured files in their system would actually begin to decay and deteriorate. While the decay started after Brandon thought it would, the AI's count down to her death had started...

Anri had taken note of Jenn's change in appearance turning back to the one form that he had first seen her in, the casual look of one of the humans that roamed the surface of this world, he thought it was strange that she would do such a thing given the situation that they were facing but he didn't think twice about it. The woman was cunning, and a difficult fight not one that he was looking forward to facing once more, last time it had happened it almost cost him the use of his hand but he hadn't led on about it to any one, tis the way of a Vennor, suck it up and keep it to yourself. Whatever it was the woman was planning he was sure she had good reason behind her actions and Anri didn't question it any more than need be, though he much preferred the blue form he had grown accustomed too for the time they had spent together, even though it wasn't much different than the fleshy humans it had a better over all quality too it; it was clear though that Anri was indeed biased when it came to humans stemming from the fact that all of them seemed to have a great distaste for anything foreign, but most aliens. Shrugging his shoulders he went back to work on the computer as he didn't even take notice of Jenn's small movements at his words of her beauty playing if more than a joke than anything, he was very casual about most things and this was one of them, not even thinking past than the surface of what he had said. Where the Vennor was for the most part a loner he found that certain people he could very well connect with and Jenn was one of the rare few, it was odd for him to bond with anyone and those that he did didn't last very long in the line of work that he participated in. Enjoying it while he could he did mostly what he could to mess the woman, out of everyone he had met here on Earth so far she was the only one that he would even consider a friend in all meanings of the word.
It was true as Jenn thought, Anri did have great knowledge of the young girl that Jenn had kept around the castle and it wasn't for the fact that he had hid the secret so well from the dog-man he might have jumped on either one of the females before this point in time. It was all possible that the dog-man already knew well of the girl but had said nothing but it didn't seem like something he would do... Kemuri had a way about him that any cards that were played against him were null in their strength... it really did raise more questions but there was no way to milk the man for information without giving the secret away. He already had full control over Jenn from the looks of it, keeping her here under his own will like a slave... however if that bonded was broken... maybe he would use the young girl as a token, the ace in the whole to make Jenn do whatever it was that he pleased. It was a dark thought but not out of the reach of the new king, Anri shook his head thinking that the thought process was a bit too far out of the loop but it was hard too tell with Kemuri... he had a way of knowing more than he should and doing terrible things with that knowledge. If it wasn't the fact that revealing such a thought would be in a way turning on his employer he would out right warn Jenn but the job always came first, over friends and others lives.
Anri grinned once Jenn noted that she would be more than willing to join him on his adventure, while he would be more than a challenge for the boy it was always fun to have someone else to join in the pummeling. Asking Anri how to best take care of it he gave it a ponder of just how they should take care of the small issue but before he could open his lips to answer an all to familiar voice echoed out from the door way as the male stood there pointing a weapon of sorts at Anri, as his eyes whipped between the human version of Jenn and himself. It looked as though the party had come to them which made things all the more easier. At the man's words Anri could not help but crack as smile over his lips, it was amusing how he thought his words would save him in this situation, if anything him appearing before them was a terrible decision on his part. It was as though he had walked into a bear's lair armed with nothing more than a blunt stick as was hoping it was more than enough to fend the creature back. Watching the sudden movements of the boys eyes it was clear that a pattern was developing as he switched back and forth to keep his bases clear, though it was small changes in his eyes that would give Anri the chance too get in a strike before things really started to heat up...literally. Flipping his eyes back over to the woman once more as Anri would extend his arm out in a flash of speed and strike the boy in the face with all the power he could pack behind the punch, probably throwing the male back into the wall if not making him stagger a few feet.
"I guess it's host choice at this point." He finally answered Jenn as the a red aura would appear Anri with jets of the steam shooting out his back, with long spikes piercing out of his body he would let out a loud growl as Anri's power would rocket into the sky.
A sudden shake would cause the building to shudder at its foundation at the suddenness of the power raise as the paint on the wall would being to peel from the intense heat that Anri's body was now outputting, though it might not bee good for the nearby computer he didn't really care, he could always fix them later. Without needing a invitation Anri would leap forward with a burst of speed aiming to slam his spike covered body into the male, not knowing what it was that Jenn might do at this time, either stand by and watch the events unfold before her or jump into the action for a little bit of fun.

No sooner had Jenn finished her sentence questioning Anri on how exactly he wanted o handle things involving the human invader, she'd only vaguely begun thinking on how best to try and get Anri to perhaps hold back a bit on the off chance that this was all some idiotic mistake on the boys part, actually accomplishing that particular task however would likely require FAR more time than what would have been available even if the boy was on the complete other side of the palace, Anri clearly had no fondness for him, especially if the fact that he seemed practically excited by the concept of a team up against someone so vastly below EITHER of them. Perhaps some sort of appeal to Anri's more 'warrior' side the idea that if assuming the boy was in fact NOT after Vixi he let him go that he might one day actually be strong enough to pose some form of challenge, something actually worth Anri's time. That was really ALL she had for the moment and even then there was little chance that he would actually go along with it, Anri was charged with the task of ensuring the defenses of the palace were maintained and the fact that the boy was able to so easily breach them meant that AT BEST he was looking forward to an interrogation on how he had managed to gain such easy access to the palace.
Truth be told Jenn had no actual interest in the palace's defense, she'd much rather see the entire thing reduced to rubble simply to spite Kemuri then to have it be an untouchable fortress that only served to boost his already immense ego, castle defenses did little to protect Vixi or at least they did nothing that she could not herself protect Vixi from and that Vixi was not already learning to protect herself from as she learned more and better control over her power and the best ways to use her techniques. The thought of Vixi was met with the sudden appearance of the human, he seemed just about as surprised to run into them as they were as there was a brief pause as both parties took stock of the moment, the human was the first to react perhaps because he knew he was in rather immediate danger being on Anri's personal 'shit list' the fact that there was as far as he was aware a complete stranger alongside Anri likely made things no better. The human raised his weapon, a strange modern device that looked vaguely reminiscent of some of the weapons she had seen back in UNITY's headquarters however the weapon appeared a bit less 'elegant' so to speak, while she greatly detested UNITY Jenn could admit that they were capable of producing some truly interesting looking pieces of technology. By the way he wielded the weapon it appeared that it was some form of ranged weapon, with a firing trigger at least passively reminiscent of a crossbow it likely functioned in some manner such as that, there was no visible means of loading the weapon which meant either it contained a large amount of ammunition inside of it or that it fired by some other means that she did not presently understand.
Unsurprisingly he leveled the weapon on Anri personally and seemed to keep his focused trained on the Vennor as well as he could, only occasionally glancing over her way, thankfully there would be no means of identifying her the shift from her true form to this one changed her form completely, for now Jenn merely appeared to be a young human woman with long red hair, her expression remained almost coldly neutral as she listened to him. It was actually rather amusing that he actually tried to make any sort of demands, it was clear as day that he was in the same sort of boat as Anri, incapable of detecting and understanding the power that lay in others beyond what was basic for all beings that gained as much power as they had if even that considering he had not managed to avoid them. Jenn's eyes narrowed as he continued claiming that he was here for something that belonged to him and for someone that they were holding prisoner. Before she could really begin to pull apart the statement or make a form of response Anri chimed in and by his tone Jenn knew IMMEDIATELY what was coming next.
It was easy enough for her to keep track of Anri's movements, being on the 'outside' of the 'fight' (if you could even call what was about to occur that) made keeping up simple, in battle of course it was all a matter of if Anri was moving at his top speed. despite the bulkiness of the Vennor he was an impressively quick fighter if he wanted to be, the human on the other hand was unlikely to be so lucky considering even while weighted Anri's power topped out a good measure above the Humans and the gap between them left little actual room for him to dodge, the fact that shortly after the first attack Anri proceeded to unleash what Jenn was fairly certain was the full extent of his power while weighted meant that things were immediately dangerous for the human, she'd fought Anri WITHOUT weights and his present power surpassed his power when they had last fought to such an extent that Jenn had to wonder if Anri was even beyond her own full power at this point, assuming his weights functioned in a similar restricting manner to the power limiting bracers she had on it was disturbingly likely that that was the case.

Brnadon received no reply from either of the two. The girl seemed peculiar, but it was Anri that grabbed Brandon's full attention with "I guess it's host choice at this point." he said, and suddenly made his powerlevel skyrocket, far exceeding Brandons own level of power, and much to Brandons dismay, Anri rushed at him at a speed he didnt think was possible.
Brandon quickly fired a 3 round burst at Anri, and then threw up his shield and attempted to jump out of Anri's way, so Anri would embed himself int othe wall behind Brandon. But Brandons lack of speed allowed Anri to blast through his shield like it was nothing, and part of his spiked body slammed into Brandon's side. The impact forced Brandon to fly against a nearby wall as he then fell to a slump of flesh on the floor. "Brandon? Brandon! We have to get out of here! That hit damaged you way too much!" He heard Verlith say. Brandon didnt have any broken bones, as Verlith protected them with his own shielding inside Brandons body. The shield took alot of the stress off of the impact, but the shield didnt prevent fractures.
And whats more, Anri's spiked body impaled several points on Brandons right arm and leg. Blood drenched his clothes, and dripped out onto the floor as Brandon made a slight grunting noises.
He soon struggled to get to his feet, as Jenn could see that Brandon's injuries were pretty severe from just Anri ramming into him. "I...am here to rescue the one called Jenn... If I die doing so, Then so be it!" He said, as his own powerlevel jumped up, but not as high as Anri's. Shimmering red particles were soon visible over Brandons wounds, as Verlith carefully erected Shields in Brandons wounds to prevent bleeding, although by the nice pool of Blood under Bradon, he had already lost alot from the holes Anri put in his arm and leg.
When Brandons power jumped, his braclet glowed brightly as it would then transform into his gauntlet like weapon. Brandon looked tot he rifle he had. It was damaged, and currently unusable so Brandon slung it behind him and knew he had to rely on his own power this time.
He saw the woman made no move against him, and thought her to be a neutral part at that time, and focused on Anri."You focus on the offensive, Ill focus on evasion."Brandon heard Verlith say. It would help Brandon focus on dealing some damage to Anri while he didnt have to worry about avoiding getting hit. Brandon moved his hands to his side, cupping them as he prepped his first attack.
Knowing full well how fast Anri is, He didnt use his Kamehameha, but rather without charging, He threw his hands forward and blasted a medium sized ball of blue energy right at Anri. This was Brandons Hadoken technique. IF the ball would hit Anri, or anything else, it would make a good sized explosion at the point of impact.

There was little time on his hands to deal with the boy, already he had to scarfice the security terminal, his beloved machine, to trap the AI that had tried to hack in, power cut and operations null from the main command center he was going to have to spend hours of his day stripping the machine and constructing new parts too get it operational once again, while it was an annoying task it was one that he could complete within the day if he brunt all the day light away. The castle wasn't blind, not yet at least; if it hadn't been for the secondary ternimal that had been set up by the previous king's men then it would have been an issue here, but everything was backed up, more than once just in case, one could never be too careful with those pesky rebels running around. That being the case as it was there wasn't much more time he could spare on the child, many things still needed to be taken care of and the rebels could poke their dirty faces out at any second if they saw the castle was already under siege... though more too that question why hadn't the security system picked up on the boy? It was finely tuned to pick up on energy levels so why had it not picked up on his? As much as his curiosity was pulling at him there was another matter that took prescient over his biological need to solve perplexing puzzles.
As Anri turned to strike the human did the male fire the glowing toy gun his direction with a quick burst of three shots as the yellow energy spewed forth from the gun slapping at Anri's plates that covered his body, the grin that shot across Anri face was one of amusement at how the boy thought such a weak attack would even phase him. There had barely been any kick behind it, not even feeling the vibrations that it would have carried; if he had been a normal person then surely he would have been dead but even without his plates the attack would have bounced off him like a super ball. Traveling like the speed of light in blurry movement did Anri's fist make contact with the boys face as a some sort of shimmering barrier that had come between them shattered upon the impact of his fist, whatever it was its strength was far below that of Anri even in his lowest possible from, even with the weights that pulled at his body he found that it had been fairly easy for him to lash out and strike the man with so little resistance. Though even with the first strike landing so well he thought it best to add a little more too the pain that the human was feeling at the moment as his body rocketed him forward slamming directly into the boy as his spike like bones tore into the weak fleshy skin, already he could feel the cool blood dripping over his body from the fresh wounds. Coming too a stop in the middle of the room Anri stopped in his movements as the boy continued to sail acorns the confined area.
The whole sisuation really made Anri question the human's levels of sanity, not only had he broken into the heavly armed castle, but surely he could have sensed Anri's power level miles before he had even arrived; Anri knew how much power he put off and while one might think it bad to reveal his position he found it too be a deterrent, if not something to strike fear into people even before they saw them. It wasn't often if not rare that he would ever come across someone with the human's power that could not at least sense other energy's, at least the magnitude of it. Either the boy had a death wish or his thick head didn't let enough oxygen in, regardless everyone needed to know just what happens too someone if they intrude into the current kings castle and what a better person too do that than Anri.
With the strength that Anri brought with the single punch did he watch as the boy went flying across the room in a flurry of flailing limbs as he impacted the wall sending large cracks racing across its surface, had it not been for the furry that was coursing through his veins from the new found power level then he might have given care that the CD collection that had been right next too where the boy had landed was now shattered across the room... sometimes war had its casualties... the CD's would be avenged! Watching the boy struggle to stand on his own two feet after such a pummeling was a fun sight but not one that would lower Anri's guard any, it was nice every once and awhile to watch his handy work at play. Using the cracked wall too support himself too the point too where he could stand once more, he began to speak as he mentioned Jenn's name, though careful not to let the suripse show on his face he kept his eyes locked on the boy with question.
"What does he want with Jenn? And more importantly does he really not know that she is standing right in front of him?" Even in her disguised form of a human, they both shared similarities between them though at first not even Anri had been able too tell the difference, it was something about her eyes that seemed to stay the same in between the forms, but it was almost impossible not to tell the difference. This human was not a friend of Jenn if he couldn't even tell the difference between her two forms, so why show up to rescue someone that he didn't even know? It reminded him of tales of the princess saved from the wraith of a fire breathing dragon, and it appeared as though Anri was the dragon... and his belly had plenty of fire for the human.
Anri would give no hint to the human that he person he sought was in the same room as them, he would leave that up to the woman herself if she felt the need too do so, however if she really wanted to talk to the man then she would have to act quickly before Anri took the fight too the next level.
Seeing that the man had moved his footing and cupped his hands too his side it didn't take a genius to figure out just what he was going to do next, Ki attacks in the castle though... good! All the more fun ways to destroy the man not to mention it might piss the dog-man off with the repair costs, after all this wasn't the first time Anri had banged the castle up. As the blue ball of light burst from his hands and traveled towards the alien he stood their calmly watched as he slowly raised his hand so that it would be held out in front of him. Similar too the color of the males attack did Anri summon a blue orb but its color was much whiter than that of the other, giving off an almost icy appearance too it. With a small push did the attack sail out from his hands too meet that of the males and upon contact the two orbs would explode in a blue shower of light, filling the room with sudden temperature drop as if they had been in the arctic. Quickly the light would fade and all that would be left was a solid orb of ice that spun on its axis slowly.
"Hehe, it did better than I first thought it would have. What do you think? Came up with a while back, hadn't had much of a chance here to use it as of yet, think yourself lucky you had the chance to witness first hand before you die." Anri chuckled as another blue ball appeared in his hand, shimmering as it slowly rotated in his palm.
This time his target was directed towards the human, he had never tested the attack on a person before but as weak as the man was he was sure he was going to have loads of fun seeing what it could really do. Shifting his eyes over he watched Jenn as she stood across the room from him appearing as though she hadn't shifted and inch from the spot though he had expected that from her, unlike Anri she was much more graceful and timid when stepping into a situation, always like too watch rather than participate in a brawl, but make no mistake when she did get involved he couldn't have asked for a better partner than her.

It was at the very least fairly impressive to watch Anri at work, actually getting to see him fight was a rarity, she'd only been vaguely paying attention when he had faced off with Bear and of course that had not been anywhere near the concept of a 'fair' fight, it had mostly just been Bear throwing everything he had at Anri and Anri taking it and throwing more back at Bear than the hairy man could ever possibly handle. The only other fight she had been around Anri for had of course been her own fight with him and while it had given her many insights into how Anri worked in a fight it was a very different thing to be in a fight with someone and to watch them fight, getting to watch Anri do his thing in a fight was quite interesting as while the fight was in many respects quite like Anri's battle with bear in terms of how vast the differences in power were the human had a lot more power to work with and was equipped with a new weapon on top of having a few techniques that she was aware of already.
Jenn cringed slightly as she saw the impact of Anri slamming into Brandon at somewhere around full force, those spikes were quite dangerous somethings she knew well from experience, already Anri had drawn blood as he pulled away from the human and it was almost impressive that he was even still standing after such a hit considering how much blood there was from the numerous wounds ANri had inflicted already. The human remained standing and defiant even in the fact of Anri's full strength, he slung his weapon over his back evidently deciding that it was ill suited for combating Anri and then eh did something Jenn did not expect. He shouted that he was here to rescue her, she did not even actually KNOW this guy which begged the question on how he even knew to come here to save her or WHY he would, if he knew who she was would he not also know that it had been her who had attacked him in the forest? Was that perhaps a part of it? It seemed unlikely he would came after HER if he was looking for Vixi bust most of all it just made no sense how he even knew to come here for her. Nobody who would be able to inform him about her knew she was here except for Kaladar, Azazel, and Carla. Everyone else that she had met s far on Earth didn't actually know where she 'lived' nor her exact situation.
The whole thing was providing to be incredibly frustrating and surprisingly enough causing her quite the headache as she tried to fathom how someone like this guy knew who she was and where to find her. Gritting her teeth despite the pain in ehr head Jenn stepped forward as Anri launched his icy attacks, the first caused the entire hall to be transformed as ice formed all around them, likely there was some sort of plan behind Anri's actions a reason why he was freezing the room and the third icy sphere was likely important to that plan as it was aimed right for the human, a few quick steps put Jenn right near the orb, close enough that she could unleash a wave of fire onto it causing it to rupture prematurely unleashing a backlash of frigid power onto Jenn herself but it was a worthwhile effort in order to ensure that she could get the answers she wanted, there was a very real risk that whatever Anri did could end up killing this fool and she wasn't about to have that without knowing how he knew to come here.
Just after taking Anri's attack Jenn would turn her attention onto the human, her eyes focused and her posture clearly displaying no intention to protect him further, in fact she looked outright hostile giving the likely impression that she'd not done what she had out of kindness. A surge of energy broughtJenn to her full power and in an instant she would be right up close to the human glaring at him "Who sent you after or told you where to find her, tell me now and I might make sure he doesn't end you. Lie to me and I will begin breaking bones until you DO tell me." Jenn said making no actual effort to attack him quite yer, any attempt to move away from her however would be quickly met with violent force the manifestation of a sword, enhancing it to make it more than powerful enough to stand against someone of this humans power and a swipe at the leg in an effort to handicap his movements, he was already injured so Jenn was certain he would take the intelligent route, to tell her what she wanted to make sure he had a chance to potentially succeed at his mission as suicide-by-Anri was certainly the fast route to failure.
