Orihime tells the party she must leave and can not turn back now. She must continue to make forward progress. As much as she'd like to help she can't. Chaz/Hagi agrees to help Takeo again. They decide to go to another low life bar (Chaz uses his streetwise) to see if they can get information on Shadow. They find out he is know for his brutality and ruthlessness and they also manage to set up a meeting with him for 10,000credits. They are told someone will call with more information, so they go back to the hotel to wait by the phone. A couple days later it rings and a voice says, "Bring the money and meet under the Ol' Town bridge in three days at noon." Then it hangs up, the party decide to travel to the bridge. When the get close by they realize that its not there. So they ask around and are told that it is there but underground in Ol' Town the original city that this one was built on top of. So the hire someone to drive them there. When they arrive they see an entire city under the surface city. Their driver refuses to go any further and drops them off at the bottom of the ramp heading down. They decide to rent a room in Ol' Town and travel on to the bridge. The bridge is void of light and the party attempts to cross the bridge. When they get about half way across (30 min walk) a spot light comes on and they are told the are entering a restricted area they must turn back. They do.
The go to a bar and grab a drink. While they are in there a argument between two men escalates and a fight breaks out. One man pulls a gun, fires and misses. The other man pulls a knife. Takeo intervenes and magic nets the man with the gun and disarms the man with the knife. The man begins to thank Takeo for subduing the man with the gun. Takeo asks the man if he knows how to get under the bridge, the man says yes and agrees to show them the way. He introduces himself as Chucki and takes the three, (Takeo, Shonen, Chaz) to a sewer and tells them this is the only way down. They climb down where it is completely pitch black and are being lead around blind. Takeo decides to turn on his light blade it ignites gasses in the air. In the huge explosion Chaz/Hagi is severly injured and Chuck is killed. Shonen and Takeo drag Chaz out of the sewer and over to a hospital. They are forced to wait in line for an hour before they see a receptionist. When they approach she nonchalantly asks them to fill out a form. Takeo tells her of the severity of Chaz/Hagi's wounds. She nonchalantly repeats herself and asks them to fill out a form. Takeo tries to convince the lady that Chaz is important and mentions he has lots of money and comes from the surface. When she hears that he is from the surface her expression changes and she pushes a button on her desk. Immediately orderlies and nurses rush in and admit Chaz/Hagi. The receptionist assures them he will receive the best treatment. Takeo and Shonen go to the store to buy a flashlight and luminescent spray paint to mark the path they take in the sewers While there Takeo finds and buys new cloths and the following books; Book of Myths, Secrets Untold, Wiccan, The Gods, Religion Fact or Fake. (the books contain clues about the Demon Queller Society)
They return to the sewers and navigate their way through and come out an exit pipe under the bridge. When they arrive there is a large power armor waiting for them. It asks for the money, takes the credstick checks it and then asks, "What's the job?" Takeo begins to ask him about the sword he recently acquired. Shadow immediately seems agitated, "You waste my time with this?" Takeo becomes arrogant and tells him they paid for a meeting. Shadow tells him, "You know my business you shouldn't have come to me with anything else. What a pity, I don't even have it anymore. The Big Boss wanted it, once he saw the other one. He called them a set." he then turns and walks away. As he walks away 8 guys and a robot vehicle come out from behind the bridge's supports. Takeo and Shonen have a very long battle avoiding many hits, but managing to disable the robot vehicle, kill 3 guys, cut the arms off of 2 guys and the remaining 3 escaped. After the battle Shadow was nowhere to be seen. They return to O'Town level of the city, rest and visit Hagi/Chaz. Shonen tries to use magic to heal Chaz/Hagi and an alarm sounds. Takeo and Shonen immediately leave and figure Chaz/Hagi would be fine, they were taking really good care of him. They return to the surface and leave Kure headed back to Shikoku Island for Takamatsu City. The only way they know back is through Ichto Ports.

So they begin walking, but it's a very long journey since there are very few ramps left connecting the two. Takeo and Shonen camp along the side of the road and are attacked by bandits. They manage to fend of the raiders but are severely injured. They continue up the road and seek shelter in a cave. After a short time in the cave they hear the calls of a woman. Takeo prowls up and sees a goblin spider. Recognizing what it is Takeo suggest they sneak out and leave immediately. While walking still completely beat up and depleted of all energy they see a large silver dragon heading straight for them. To tired to do much they attempt to hide but there is nowhere to hide. They simple stand to the side of the road, and a huge machine comes to stop in front of them. A hatch open and a young man pops out. He asks them, "Are you Ok, cuz you look like shit" They tell him what happened and the guy offers them a ride if them don't mind going for a ride back to Kure. "We gotta drop off a package for a friend." They agree and board the silver dragon. It was a tight fit inside and they met two gunners, but they were grateful for the ride. Takeo asks."What is this thing?" The man reply proudly "This is one of the Tatsu 16, The Legendary War Machines that protect Ichto." They ride back to Kure and when they get ready to drop off the package Takeo over hears one of the men saying "Make the drop Chaz is ready." Then before Takeo could react the drop was made and they were on their way back to Ichto. Takeo talks to the men a finds out they are friends of Chaz. When they return to Ichto they dropped off and rest in the hotel for a few days. When they recoup Takeo uses a phone book to find a travel agent. And they book a boat passage directly to Takamatsu City on Shikoku Island.
