Kelsey, Mai and Saige are busy practicing their stances, punches and kicks in Master Shik’wa’s backyard, while, Gregory and Master Shik’wa are at the side, watching. “Good good, keep practicing. Also, Saige you need to straighten your form more.”, says Master Shik’wa. “Really, my form?”, says Saige, in annoyance. “Yes, proper form is important.”, says Master Shikwa. “What about fighting eachother? We ready to do that?”, asks Saige. “In due time.”, says Master Shik’wa.
“Um, sorry to cut my training short, but I got somewhere I need to be.”, says Kelsey. “Huh? Where do you have to go?”, asks Mai. “I’m meeting up with Tigerlily.”, says Kelsey. “Tigerlily?”, asks Mai, confused about the name. “She’s the one who gave us that pamphlet on trapped Diamante people.”, says Kelsey. “I see. Well, I guess you can go. Just be careful.”, says Gregory. “Alright. See ya everybody.”, says Kelsey, as she leaves. “See ya.”, says Mai. “Later.”, says Saige. After Kelsey leaves, Master Shik’wa faces back to Mai and Saige. “Now back to training.”, he says.
Meanwhile with Kelsey, she arrives back at where Tigerlily was, handing out the pamphlets. She then sees Tigerlily and runs up to her to greet. “Hi.”, says Kelsey. “Oh hey, Blue Phoenix.”, says Tigerlily. “You remember my name.”, says Kelsey, surprised. ‘Of course, who could forget such a heroic name.”, says Tigerlily. “Hee hee.”, says Kelsey. “So what do you come here for, have you joined our cause?”, asks Tigerlily. “Why yes, actually.”, says Kelsey. “Good, then come meet us at evening time, on where it shows on the pamphlet.”, says Tigerlily. “I.. would, but I’m new here, so...”, says Kelsey. “Oh, let me show you then. I’ll pause handing out pamphlets for now. Follow me!”, says Tigerlily. Kelsey follows behind her.

The two walk until in through the general downtown area, until they eventually reach an abandoned building, standing up against the side of a mountain wall. “Alright, here we are, downtown. The crew probably should be here.”, says Tigerlily.
A big demon man jumps down from nowhere and surprises Kelsey, making her stumble back abit. Then a girl and guy appear from the sides, as well as two short male twins. All of them are wearing general urban casual clothes. “Ah, here’s the crew.”, says Tigerlily.
“Who’s this.”, says the guy. “Fresh meat?”, says the girl. “Everyone be nice. This is Blue Phoenix.”, says Tigerlily. They look at eachother and then back to Kelsey. “Nice codename, I’m Firecracker.”, says the guy. “I’m Red fury.”, says the girl. “Aggro”, says one twin. “Virgo”, says the other twin. “And I’m Boomer.”, says the buff demon man. “And that’s their codenames.”, says Tigerlily. “Wooow, and I assume “Tigerlily” is your codename.”, says Mai. “Nope, it’s just my name!”, says Tigerlily.
“Oh. Well pleasure to meet you all, fellow heroes.”, says Kelsey. “Heh, Blue Phoenix just called us, “Fellow heroes”.”, says Boomer. “Of course, are you not?”, asks Kelsey. “Of course we are!”, says Firecracker. “Are you?”, asks Red Fury toward Kelsey. “Yup, in fact I’m on a quest to slay Azrael right now!”, says Kelsey. Kelsey then immediately covers her mouth. And they look at her with wide eyes. “Like thee Azrael?”, asks Boomer. “Yeeess?”, says Kelsey. “That’s so cool! Wish we could join you.”, says Boomer. “Yeah, but we have a task of our own to free the innocent Diamantians.", says Red Fury. “Wait, you free them? Like personal, in-person?”, asks Kelsey. “Yeah, how else would we do it?”, says Red Fury. “But how? There’s no way into Diamante, I thought.”, says Kelsey. “There’s not supposed to be, but we got our way. Come on, let’s show you.”, says Tigerlily. They then all walk off.
