Spike swung open the gates as if they were made of cardboard, using his own magnet field to help him push them open. He glared into the overgrown garden and snarled at the waste. It looked good, it would ward off unwanted humans and people, and it looks scaried than the Beacon. Spike took an immediately liking to it. He watched his hand for a moment, then the metal nails began to grow, then he closed his fingers together and they moulded together, greating a knife. He snapped it off his hand and it continued to grow, and eventually formed a machete. He smiled at his handiwork and began to hack his way through. The Kid and the Weirdo Brother were some way behind him, but they would soon catch up at the pace he was going, having to hack through all of this mess. He suddenly felt like he was being watched, and looked around for the source. He heard a flapping noise, like wings and looked up, to see Vi circling the Manor House.
"What you doing here?!" Spike said, blinking in shock at the appearance of his friend. "I'm leading some new and old members. Naruko returned." Vi shouted back down. "Naruko? But I thought he left!" Spike said, much quieter than Vi was speaking. "That's why I said he returned idiot." Vi shouted as he swooped over the overgrown garden. "Where are the newbies?" He continued. Spike was going to point in the right direction, but then realised it would be pointless. "Over in the direction of the mall." He said. "They won't be long. Where are you're newbies?" He snapped back sarcastically. "Mine are coming after me, they won't be too long either. Keep chopping to make way." He shouted, and then flew a little higher. Spike sighed and continued to hack through the brambles.

Naruko ran off the edge of the building and flying above all the buildings. Pretty much just follwing Vi. Soon Vi was circling the house and Naruko just continued to fly forward. Soon he landed on the grounds floor on the right side of the brambles and retreated his wings back into his back again. Vi was still circling the building. He heard someone hacking on the opposite side of the brambles and wondered who it was. Instead of helping he just stood and waited for them to (finally) hack through the huge thorns. If Vi told him to help he would slightly wouldnt do too much.

Spike continued to chop and managed to get through to the door before even his new arrivals had caught up with him. Naruko was standing looking curiously at him. "Nice to see you, Stranger." Spike joked, a slightly sour look on his face. He was less forgiving than Viempar, and after being left for two years with no contact, he was a little hurt to say the least. "What brought you back now? Did Master Vi call you, or could you not keep yourself from coming back to worship the ground he walks on." Spike growled in his deep voice. "Troy..." Vi warning from above, swooping to make his warning clear.

Naruko waved off the warning from Vi as if he didnt need it. He had every right to be angry and sarcastic after all. "Nice to see you too, Spike. I havent actually been gone. I have been in Souzetsu. Vi didnt call me I came back of my own accord, and actually if I did worship the ground Vi walked on I would have come back a lot earlier. I just had some things to take care of, still taking care of them." Naruko said smirking at Spikes attitude. Hasnt changed either... he thought, "Anyway, Spike, I thought you would miss me? Kind of hurts that you havent" Naurko said in mock hurt tone of voice the only ever real time he actually put emotion (ish) in his voice. Putting his hands in his pockets looking at Spike waiting for reply... or even possibly an attack sensing how hurt he was that he had left without a warning and no contact for two years nearly three.

Irina floated over the wall and across the garden, tucking her feet up when she saw the brambles. She was glad that the place had high walls - it kept everything out of sight. The house itself looked even shadier than the drug-infested apartments, and everywhere was the nervous, scuttling presence of vermin. Her first thought was that they needed a cat. Then she remembered that they already had one in the form of Tiger. She recognised Spike, Vi and Naruko. There were a couple of extras who she didn't know, so she pretended not to see them. Drifting over to the door, she touched down on the step and announced, "Shall we open it up then, or just stand around?" She leaned on the door, but it didn't open. It took both hands for her to hold the egg without it popping open, so she couldn't try the door handle. Frowning, she disappeared and seeped her way through the tiny gaps around the hinges. Once inside, she placed the egg on the floor and unbolted the double doors for the others to come in. "Phew. It's a tad dusty in here," she remarked, scooping up the egg. She didn't trust anyone of the group yet, so she would need to find somewhere good to hide her treasures.

Shouja and his currently identical twin were already inside the house by the time the rest arrived, Shouja just taken Flim through the thorns and wall, dead quick and much easier than Spikes hooligan alternative. Oh, sure, the smart one eh? Just carve a path into our 'secret hideout' for the enemy to follow, Shouja thought. Both brothers were equally confused, having lived in Elysirite under attack all their lives, that this path was practically a invitation to the opposition. However, as Elysiritians they never stood out of line or forgot their place, so cool as cucumbers, or as close as they could actively maintain in the face of so many new faces, they walked, or more accurately unintentionally strutted out of the shadows and Flim loudly cleared his throat to make sure everyone was aware of their prescence.

Tiger quickly flew in, deactivating his glider and throwing it on his back before jumping down, landing on all fours. He had robbed a few other stores, and he was in black jeans and an unbuttoned jean jacket and white undershirt underneath, bandana and fingerless gloves too. He got up off of his hands and feet and smiled. "Sorry I was late. I had to go on a little 'shopping trip'." He leaned on the gate and took out a lighter and started burning a drawing out of his sketchbook, mumbling and humming to himself.

Vi landed swiftly next to Spike, making him jump. He flinched and grabbed at his bare chest, which was visible between the opening of his long jacket. In his hand he held a few others, and the machete had completely absorbed back into his skin. "Am I the only one who arrives normally?" He asked impatiently, annoyed at how he had created a path and no-one had used it. Vi ignored Spike's annoyance and stood taller, looking a little stronger and more menacing than he had on the roof.
"As we are all here, and some of us have already taken the liberty to step inside, I'm guessing that you all like the place. We'll be taking this as our base, you will live here. I don't care if you have other houses, they can be left unattended for a while. I doubt any of you have an actual home to go to, knowing all of your reputations." He lowered his head, so he seemed to be admiring his feet, although he couldn't see at all. "There are plenty of rooms for us to have, so feel free to go and claim a room as your own, but be warned. Most of the time, will be spent here. We can't go rampaging around the city like we used to. Our close call with the Nightroad Priest killed me, quite literally. We have to regain our place in the shadows. But for now..." He tilted his head back to their eye level and grinned a toothy grin. "Welcome home." He said, and strode through the door, his shoulder barely missing the doorframe as he wobbled a little. Spike followed loyally after him and began to admire the interior of the main lobby.
