Perhaps six minutes after Blaze has begun his stalk, a rectangle of light appears in the air not a foot from where Blaze had manifested, and Major Ijuuin steps through, followed by two other people wearing the NetSaviours badge and toting obvious firepower.

He motions his minions to start a flanking maneuver on their dangerous quarry.

Even when only spotted out of the corner of his eye, that glowing wedge is all-too familiar. Blaze rolled his eyes and snorted.

Of course.

Slowing and then stopping altogether, he pivoted in place and stared down the slighter Major. The pair of NetSaviours he ignored; they were inconsequential.

"Don't you have anything better to do with your time, puppy?"

"Oh, I'm being very productive with my leave. No need to worry your little self about that."

Blaze smiled, but his eyes gleamed redly.

"It'd be a shame to get myself bloody before I need to go back to work."
