Isaka growled, leaping up and blasting a hole up to the sixth floor, scaring the daylights out of Kenji and Rin. He leaped up, and asked, "What the hell? I told you to wait until the mission was done!"
"Sorry. Got bored." Rin said, while Kenji's eyes told the whole story. Rin apparently had blindsided him, since he was quite restrained. He was sitting in an office chair, with tape binding his ankles and knees together, tape securing his thighs, chest, elbows, hands and fingers to the chair, and a worrying amount of duct tape wrapped over his mouth.
Isaka sighed, and said, "Cut him loose. And ungag him."
Rin whimpered as she borrowed the Xceed Edge and began doing so.
"My forests have no trees,
My deserts no sand,
My mountains no rock,
My oceans no water.
Of what do I speak?" The figure asked.

Anna thought for a moment, confused. All forests had trees, and of course the deserts all had sand. The ocean was made entirely from water and you couldn't have a paper mountain or the like. The only way you could would be if it... if it wasn't an ocean. A globe? No, those didn't show all of them. So that must mean...
"Is it a map?"

"It is, indeed. Now, the next riddle:
Only one color, yet not one size.
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain.
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
Of what do I speak?" The figure spoke.

Anna thought for a moment before blurting something out. "I don't know a shadow?"

"Lucky guess. Once more:
In marble walls white as milk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple does appear,
No doors are there to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
Of what do I speak?"

"Okay, so its white on the outside..." Anna said, pacing around the room as she thought. "It contains something gold and is soft to the touch." She stared into the air for a moment thinking. Mommentarily she got distracted by thoughts of what to have for dinner. Maybe an omelet. That's when it hit her. White walls, soft to the touch, gold inside people want.
"Its an egg!" Anna shouted, pointing directly at the man.

"You have proven your worth. Take the arcane power contained in this device, and use it well." The figure spoke, smiling as he held out the Magic Memory.

Anna snatched up the Memory and held it in the palm of her hand. She smiled beneath her masked helmet as she closed her hand around the Memory.
"Alrighty Knight, lets see what out new toy can do." Anna pressed the button.
MAGIC
Anna put the Memory in one of the slots on her belt and felt a strange power burning through her. She raised her right hand and as she did glowing runes surrounded both of her hands. After extending them out a hole appeared in the wall between the office and the hall. Anna walked through the hole, causing it to close behind her.
"I think I'm going to like this" Anna said.

Rin had taken her sweet time cutting Kenji loose, and Kenji himself had ripped the gag off. Immediately after doing that, he sucked in a deep breath of air, and ran out into the hall, transforming into the Hunter Dopant. He saw Anna and charged, scythe raised, screaming bloody murder.

Anna turned around to see the Hunter Dopant charging at her. She used Magic to call her sword back into her hand, slashing at Kenji. As she did Anna unleashed a magical blast from her sword unknowingly. This created a large black seal in the air between the two of them. Anna didn't know how she did it and figured it wouldn't last long. However, she did figure out that Kenji be burnt by it.

Kenji slammed into the seal full-throttle and leaped back immediately with a yelp of pain.
"Ow! What the hell?" Kenji asked.

Anna looked at Kenji burning at the seal and then down at her hands. "Nice." She held out her hand and shot a burst of weak lightning from it.

Stronger lightning would blast straight through Anna's blast as Isaka and Rin walked forward.
"Rin, seal the power." Isaka said.
"But she's a fellow oppressed! I should be saving her!" Rin cried.
"Just do it. NOW." Isaka growled.
"Fine." Rin said, and shot a tape ball at Anna.

Anna created a physical seal between Anna and the Dopants, blocking the attack. She knew that her seal would not last much longer than fifteen, twenty seconds. As soon as it went up she backed up for the door so she could figure out how to work her new powers.

The tape ball collided with the seal and stayed there, clashing with the seal. Rin growled and fired two more, intending to bust through the seal.
