Arriving in the market, the team decide that they should split up and look for leads on Sagamie Lilfolt. Siyo wishes her team good luck and decides to take on the job of asking the librarian for specifics, and splits up from her team. Migro begins to think to himself about Siyo's mental state after the previous events and wonders if she will be okay taking on this mission, should it get nasty. Siyo arrives in the library through two large doors with a colored glass pattern on the front of the doors. The inside of the library, filled with large book stands that go up to the ceiling, and a nice marble floor. Siyo is surprised by the appearance of the library as Ryke is currently a city at the mercy of war, she stands for a few seconds in awe before deciding to proceed further into the library. As she reaches the middle of the room she is greeted by a man with an all black attire with patterns to his clothing.

"Greetings young lady! I am the head librarian, Walter, I hope you find what you are looking for, and if not, allow me to assist you!"

"Oh! Actually, you were exactly who I was looking for! I'd like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind? It regards the Sagamie Lilfolt sighting you reported."

"Oh? The little girl you hunters mentioned, that's right. Did you manage to find her yet?"

"Actually, that's why I'm here. I wanted to know if you had anymore specifics on the sighting? We have yet to find the girl."

"I see, I do hope she is alright. Well all I know is what I already told the others, you are welcome to ask around the library though. I am sure maybe the regulars might of saw a thing or two."

"Alright, thank you!"

As Walter walks away, Siyo mumbles under her voice how coming to the library was a waste of time. Before leaving, Siyo takes Walter up on his offer and decides to go ask people around the library about the girl. As Siyo walks down the library looking for people to ask about Sagamie, she continues to admire the enormous shelves of books the library houses. "How can this place be so nice with the conditions this city is in" Siyo says in excitment as she hasn't seen anything like the place since she was a kid. Losing her focus, Siyo trips over a pile of books and lands on her face.

"OW! God damn it, Why am I always falling on my butt or face when it comes to books!?"

"Um...Hello again Siyo, I see you're faring well"

Siyo gets up to see Arus sitting down on a small chair reading a book. Siyo immediately feels guilt from knocking over Arus's books once again. Arus smiles and puts her book down and helps Siyo fix the book stack.

"Don't worry about it, but I gotta ask. Are you making a hobby out of knocking over my books? haha"

"No I promise, I'm just in a hurry and as I always do, I ran into something"

"I see, well you really need to start paying attention to your surroundings more."

"Pardon the change of topic, but Arus have you see a little girl with long bright blue hair lately? She has a gauntlet on her right arm as well if that helps"

"A girl with a gauntlet huh? Can't say that I have I am sorry. If that is all you needed to ask I wanted to bring this up though. Did you know there is tons of information about the Rogue in these books that weren't in the rookie meeting? I can't help but wonder if they kept it out on purpose. Stuff about the 4 biggest rogue factions but one of the pages in torn out."

Siyo leans in closer to Arus to see the book over her shoulder. Siyo inspects the ripped page out of the book and thinks to herself about who could of ripped the information out and why, She asks Arus if she would have any idea to which she replies that she knows just about as much as Siyo.

"In any case, they kept this info out of the meeting on purpose, I don't know why they would leave it so accessible in the library. The 3 rogue factions listed are named, Hollowind, Twilight oblivion, and...Looks like it says Kingsland. That is all I can makeout, without the fourth page the last one is completly unknown."

"Hey Arus I can talk to you about this more later, it deffinantly is serious, maybe take it up with the head librarian? I have a girl to find!"

Arus smiles and bids Siyo farewell, wishing her luck on her mission. As Siyo runs back towards the exit of the library she realizes that both her and Migro had spotted Sagamie a few days ago at the front entrance to the Svail hunter base. "This information is vital, I don't know if Migro has noticed yet, I have to let him know." Siyo stresses to herself as she leaves the library. Arriving in the market, she notices Migro and Wendy crouched down behind a barrel, peaking to a corner trying to not be seen.

"Hey Migro whats-" Siyo says as she is suddenly pulled down by Migro and he covers her mouth.

"Be quiet, we noticed something over there in that corner. I don't think they realize there are hunters here."

"Who is they?"

"P-Pardon Migro..S-Siyo, but, they are leaving!"

Migro, Siyo, and Wendy get up from their hiding spot and quietly follow the mysterious figures into an alleyway and Migro begins to provide an explination to Siyo.

"We have every reason to believe these men are Rogue members. When I first spotted them I heard one mention the name Sagamie, but if you didn't notice, these men are wearing combat gear and it definitely is not Hunter gear. There is something going on here, so I think we should follow them"

"That is a great idea Migro! Got a plan?! By the way! That girl, we saw her the other day remember?"

"N-Now that you mention it yeah I do, and for the record, I do have a plan! Just watch"

Migro leads the others down the alleyway quietly as they follow behind the Rogue members. The alley appears very dirty, with mud inbetween the bricks, and rats all over the ground. The group feel a chill up their spine as they move farther down, knowing that they are heading closer and closer to the Rogue controlled section of the city. As they reach the other side of the alley they find themselves surrounded by wooden boxes.

"What is this? Some sort of secret supply trade?"

"L-let me go!" A faint scream is heard from a distance ahead

"That voice was a cry for help! hurry this way!"

The group rush down the alleyway in a sprint with urgency flowing into their minds after having heard the cries for help. Siyo readies her weapon, and Migro pulls out two bronze looking pistols from his belt. Arriving around the corner, the group bare witness to two Rogue members trying to abduct a wounded Sagamie, covered in blood. Siyo rushes foward with her sword, swearing to herself that she won't be helpless a situation like this ever again.

"Back off!" Siyo screams as she inflicts stab wounds on both Rogue members, knocking them back onto their backs.

"Nice job Siyo!"

"Migro! Tend to Sagamie, I will stand guard!"

"Right!"

"U-Um what do I do!?" Wendy asks in a nervous panic"

"Stand guard with me! Protect Migro"

Wendy follows Siyo's order and begins to pull a long gold like spear, with a blue crystal at the tip, out of her necklace, much to the shock of Migro and Siyo. "Did I just see that right!? That thing magic or something!?" Migro shouts in confusion. Wendy states her necklace is a magical item gifted to her by her late mother. Suddenly Siyo is shot at and only managed to guard one of the bullets as the other one hits her in the leg. As Siyo struggles to keep her balance, she thinks back to Tohka informing her that she should work on her ability to guard attacks.

"A bunch of kids, I have to thank you for finding the girl for me. She has been pretty troublesome." A voice speaks from the darkness.

Exceilot makes her presence known, as she walks out of the darkness and into the light to show her face to the group, a small group of Rogue standing behind her. Siyo grips her sword to help herself ignore the pain of the bullet that went through her leg, and keeps her position, not faltering before Exceilot.

"I will protect this girl! I am not going to move! Not unless you make me!"

"Will you though? You lack the resolve, the courage, the power! Everything you would need to save the girl you stand infront of me for. It will all be for naught. You would throw your life away for her?"

"None of that matters! Why do you even care about her anyways?! What did she ever do to you!?"

"This girl is nosy, she saw my face and I can't have that reported to the hunters. Now that you have seen it, I am forced to take you away as well!"

Exceilot swiftly throws a dagger into Siyo's leg, the same one in which the bullet had hit earlier. Siyo falls over in agony and quickly pulls the knife out of her leg and applys pressure. "Very good! You wasted no time! No hesitation." Exceilot says to Siyo with a smug look to her face. Wendy attacks Exceilot but is suddenly stopped in mid air as Exceilot raises her arm and opens her gauntlet.

"A valiant effort, unlike your friend on the floor, but it is in vain!"

"Wether it is in vain or not, I-I will protect my new friends! With everything I've got!"

Exceilot's expression turns uninterested as a response to Wendy's statement and pulls out a gun. As Wendy floats in mid air, she is shot in the stomach 3 times by Exceilot, but she doesn't even bleed while frozen in mid air. Wendy's eyes show the expression of pain and fear as she can do nothing but float helplessly, and Siyo's screams can be heard in the backround, begging for Exceilot to let her friend go.

"You can all take a nap, I think I have done enough for this encounter. The torture isn't formal right now."

Migro reluctantly surrenders and is knocked out with the back of a machine gun as Siyo and Wendy are locked in chains. "Captain Exceilot, what shall we do with them!?" A male Rogue asks. Exceilot states to the Rogue that they can take them back to the base, but to put Sagamie into a different cell as she is alrealy familiar with the one she was in before. Siyo wakes up but pretends to be passed out, and thinks to herself about how she is going to get herself out of this situation.
