After confirming their next course of action, Kasumi would nod before she led the way towards the address of the nearest victim's family. She had no idea whether her conjecture was even true at this point...but without any other clues that would lead them, it was the best she could afford with what she have. They would soon arrive at one of the victim's house and after making sure the both of them are ready she would reach out to knock the door.

The door was opened abruptly by a little boy barely half her age, sporting a hopeful look at his face. The moment he saw it was Kasumi and Anniken however, his hope all but vanished from his face even moreso after he noticed there was no one else with them. Dispirited, the boy would call in his mother so that she could attend to them instead. An middle aged woman would emerged next, looking frantic and asking them of their progress with their search.

For the most part, Kasumi tried to console her as much as possible and assuring her that she would dedicate all she can on the task. It certainly took a bit for her to console the woman...she wasn't quite sure she could have without Anniken's assistance. Once she had settled down, only then Kasumi would pose her query regarding her conjecture.

"There was a handsome young lad who came here as a merchant before yes. Quite well mannered and easy on the eyes, I do believe she was quite taken with him in first place. Oh my....you don't think they eloped do you? But I wouldn't have said no to their union..."the mother of the victim said as she ponder on her daughter's disappearance.

Kasumi frowned a bit at that, not quite finding it unlikely that the man eloped with her daughter. At least, if it's the same culprit of all the disappearance then that would mean he would have eloped with dozens others of all sorts of gender, ages and the like...nay, she felt it was more likely that this gentleman was involved in their disappearance somehow.

Kassypoo?

Kasumi's cheek grew slightly pink at that though she maintained a neutral expression. At least while they are still in front of the other made men...her "sister" really does love making her embarassed. Even though they were not blood related, she had enough respect for the woman that she had considered her as one of her own blood. When the girl posed her the inquiry upon the content of the bag, Kasumi chuckled slightly in response.

"Not quite, it's something more experimental."Kasumi replied as she get onto the bike. When Ivory proposed a race, Kasumi flashed a small smile. Perhaps the lightheartedness was what she needed...she's gonna fight a giant. Possibly more than one of them. If it weren't for her training she would probably be shuddering with fear right now. But right now she was shuddering...with excitement.

"You're on Aneue."Kasumi replied as she revved the bike she had hopped on. The mount would tore off across the road carrying the mage at full speed. It was slightly slower than her own sprinting speed but she needed to conserve her energy to fight this creature. Tracking the footprint of this thing was quite easy...only a blind man could miss them. In fact, it only took within 10 minutes of riding the vehicle across the wasteland plateau they could what looked like a giant tower in the distance. She had known the are around Shale town enough to know there was no such structure built lately...not to mention the tower was actually moving.

"Pleased to meet you Nat. You may call me Kas if you wish."Kas replied as she took the hand offered and shook them briefly. She would then followed her into the street gestured though she kept her eyes focused on the girl. The girl had introduced herself as a healer though she made it quite plain that she had little use outside of her abilities.

"I'm sure you'll prove yourself to be more useful than you think. There are some things that one cannot do alone."Kasumi replied and flash her a small smile as she do. Her eyes took note of the bag and staff which she assumed was filled with her magical and medical equipment. When asked whether she needed to make any more preparations, she shook her head in response.

"No, I've already made adequate preparation. Let us make haste then." Kasumi replied while revealing the small satchel she carried. Within them were survival tools which she had expected to use while they were in the wild. Perhaps it was a good thing that Natalie was a medical professional, she had little experience in that regard. Speaking of experience....

"Have you been doing this long Nat?" Kasumi asked. The girl was quite curious of Natalie's experience...while she wouldn't exactly call herself a veteran just yet, she had done plenty of mission for her own guild.

Adaptation was one of Kasumi's forte but the girl simply shrugged slightly in response. Perhaps it was the adrenaline that keep things going or mayhaps her body had just behave differently when compared to others. Hearing Anniken used to speak with an accent made her raise eyebrow slightly in response...though with the door hatch opened, she decided to save that question for another time.

Sensing Cheshire was no longer behind her but instead at the front, Kasumi decided to give the ones that she's closest too their undivided attention. One of the thugs have shoved his friend before brandishing his machete, swinging it wildly at the girl in response. Kasumi would take the defensive approach at first, trying to get the feel of the range and the speed of the machete. After baiting out an overcommited slash heading her way, she would sway to the side and let the blade cleave naught but air before she began a series of brutal punches. First she would make a knee strike towards his solar plexus to knock the air out of him, chaining an uppercut immediately towards his jaw to rock the brain on his skull. Immediately the girl disarm the machete and let it clatter to the floor but before she could do anything however, the Captain of the group and the other were onto her again.

The first underling made a straightforward charge towards her, so the girl simply sidestep though not without sweeping him down to send him crashing to the floor. Their leader come next showing at least a bit more proficiency in close combat, striking her with his machete on one arm and upon being block strike again with another arm though Kasumi had also raise another hand to do so again. He would then deliver a knee towards her stomach before attempting to hack her head open with the machete. Instead, he would get a Scottish kiss straight towards his nose, causing him to reel backward. Capitalizing on that, the remaining thug that she had swept earlier suddenly pounced on her and brought her to the floor, straddling her and lifting up the machete to skewer her. The girl would dodge by moving her head sideway just as the blade struck the floor, before delivering a blow to the temple of his which caused a ringing sensation and stunning him. However, the Captain had recovered at this point and pulled her leg so as to pull her away from his comrade.

"Chop her leg!!"he yelled.

Not wanting to lose her leg, Kasumi would kick the one rushing in on the knee with her remaining foot and the Captain's face while at it forcing him to let go. Seeing a machete close to her, she would reach out to grab it but then pull it backward as another blade chopped where her arm had been just a second ago and the girl immediately get up. Another attempt to reach from behind and grapple her but the Kasumi escaped before he got a good hold, striking his head with her elbow towards the nearby wall and stunning him. She would then grab his head before bashing it multiple time against the wall with enough force that she almost deformed it from impact. Immediately she would rush to deliver a flying knee to the remaining thug, shattering the jaw completely before turning around to face the Captain. He rushed in and swung a wild haymaker to which she would bob under before forcing him into the floor with a takedown and immediately wailed on him. Numerous punches thundered down on his head and chests with increasing force every time that by the time she was done, the Captain was just a convulsing piece of meat, her whole clothes smeared all over with blood. Upon the inquiry, the girl take the smoke grenade and put it on her belt.

"We're here to cut loose yes? Then we'll take it straight to them. I'm ready to charge in when you are."

For every single zombies that she shredded, it felt like two more sprung in it's place. The advantage of an undead army was that they would never feel a sense of fear even in the face of powerful opposition. They would keep on coming until the opposition collapsed under their numbers, driving them into despair that there may not actually be an end number in sight. Had it been a more normal circumstances Kasumi would have fought these creatures in a smart manner, engaging them in areas where it would be more advantageous for her.

Yet great power does not came without great sacrifice. She had broken the limiter on her body forcefully and even though the zombies couldn't even touch her, she was bleeding. Magical energy overflowed in her body and as much as it enhanced her and turned into a living weapon it was also destroying her bit by bit. An unimaginable pain assault her body thoroughly...it felt like she was crushed by something with an extraordinary weight.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

Yet she keep persisting, keep on pushing forward. Her hands and legs would rend the flesh from their undead bodies and her aura would redirect any attacks that came towards her. She only hoped that she could make it there in time.

ITEM NAME: Studded Gloves
TIER: 1
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Kasumi's gloves are weighted-knuckled gloves, with the studs attached to them act as weights that increase the weight behind her attacks. It also acted as a protection for her hand should she decide to block or grab attacks that are directed towards her..

Picking up the tote bag she had dropped earlier, Kasumi checked the content before pouring them out. Within them, were rotten fruits and vegetables she had picked earlier. A painful remainder of what had just happened. That there was this much damage even when she had help from the other mages earlier...she wondered what would have happened had she been alone instead.

As Kasumi made her turned to the corner, she accidentally bumped into the blonde mage she had seen earlier. She blinked in surprise at first before shaking her hand and her in respond to dismiss his apology. Especially with her own mind had been wandering on their own as well.

"Not at all. I should have paid more attention myself." she paused slightly before giving him a once over. "Weren't you the blonde mage that helped me out with the zombie invasion earlier?"

The warning was proven to be unnecessary as Cheshire had taken out the remaining guards shortly after the gunfire broke out. Which was good because they haven't actually infiltrate the laboratory quite yet...it would be a nuisance for her to handle if they were ready to shoot at the duo as soon as they get past the entrance.

"I'm glad you approve~"

Cheshire's compliment was unexpected but she appreciated them no less. Kasumi muttered her thanks as she take the wet wipes to clean the gunk from her hands. Sure, she could do that but she would risk getting the gunk all over Chesh instead which she wasn't quite sure if the girl would approve. So instead the enhancer mage would make a flicking motion with her arm like a swordsman would with their sword,removing some of them before wiping the rest.

When Cheshire took out her silver flask, Kasumi looked surprised at first...being the prim and proper type, she never considered drinking during a mission unless it was for body heat. Still, she accepted her offer and a few sips herself which cause her cheek to flush slightly. Goodness... Cheshire certainly wasn't kidding when she say it tasted gross.

"Thanks but I'm going to wash our mouth with better drinks than that at the bar." Kasumi replied as she handed over the flask. The girl would then make her way towards the entrance, taking a moment to inspect it. Sure, she could brute force her way inside but in that case she might as well wear a neon sign saying We're fucking here, come and have a go at us if you think you're hard enough. Kasumi would give a glance towards Cheshire for her gesture of approval...if so, she would break down the entrance before storming through. If not, she would wait until the girl suggested another method of entrance.
