It was festival day. A day where people would come to the Vadican and celebrate. Venors made stalls to sell their gods. Tents were set up and poeple were arrving by the dozen. A lone tent sat on the edge of the festivities. A large raven was perched outside. The tent was black and held few decorations.
The inside was dark and thick with the smell of insence. A small table with a dark crimson table cloth was in the center of the room. Two chairs were placed there. One was occupied by a girl no older than seventeen. Her eyes were closed and it was hard to make out any real detail under the hood of her travelers cloak.

He was rather board from KoF and came to Italy. Since K' was busy in the US and he left Kula at the hotel Maxima decided to visit thge Vadican today. Amazing how the gorunds feel pure just by walking around. Maxima thought. He remembered all the data he gathered on this place well by now. He noticed many vendor tents and he quietly walked over to one that interested him. The raven outside was rather odd but he stepped inside anyway. "Anybody here?" he asked politely.

A small smile came across the figure's face, though it was hidden mostly by the shadow of her hood. "Hello. I was waiting for you to come." she said. Her voice was soft and magical. The figure held an air of vast knowlage. She stood, the ends of her long black dress brushing her angkels. She reached up and pulled the hood down.
The girl had long, wavy black hair. Two peices in front were wrapped in white ribbon and frammed her face. Strange earrings decorated her ears. She open her dark blue eyes and gazed at him. "Though you are late." she said. She looked at him. "Do you wish to have your palm read?" she said softly.

Maxima looked shocked," Um sorry about the tardiness." he said politely unsure how she knew he was coming. Palm read...isn't that stuff just silly fairy tales. Well I suppose it can't hurt. he thought as he sat down. Although he looked rather silly with his legs bunched up to sit in the chair he quietly stared at the girl with a smile," I suppose a palm reading won't be harmful." he said quietly as he moved his glove and pressed a button on his wrist so his two arm cannons would not go off. Last time that happened trying to calm down an annoyed K' wasn't fun.

The girl sat down. She reached out from her travelers cloak and getnally touched his hand. She placed one hand onderneith his hand and used the fingers of her other hand to trace the lines on his palm. Her touches were light and gental, like she was just passing a feather over his hand.
She kept her eyes trained on his hand. "Your power, it is great." she said. She traced a line and she looked surprised for a second before going back to her calm state. "A great battle will soon take place and you shall be in it. But, this is no ordinary kind of battle." she said.

Maxima felt a chill down his spine when she touched him but kept his calm. When she mentioned a great battle he had a feeling what she was talking about. He quietly pulled out the letter with a red seal. "King of Fighters tournament. So something major will happen this year huh." he said interested. "Can you tell me anything about Kyo Kusanagi?" he asked with a slight interest in the one K' wanted to defeat. He had heard and seen enough of Kyo in battle and was interested where he had been hiding this whole time.

The girl looked at the letter for a second before closing her eyes, her forefinger and thumb still tracing the lines. "That is not the battle I speakk of. And I can not help you get information on this man. I can only see things of the person I read." she said softly.
After brushing from his wrists to the tips of his fingers with the tips of her fingers, she withdrew her hands and placed them in her lap. "I wish you the best of luck in this battle, Maxima. By the way, I am Ruri." she said.

Maxima smiled," Nice to meet you Ruri. And thanks for the warning. I'll keep it in mind." he said placing his glove back on. He then pressed a button on his wrist launcher and it popped out. He quietly spinned it like a wheel until a click was heard and it went back into place. "Well good luck on your travels as well. You seem almost like a friend and myself. Like a person...but not." he said while tilting his head in confusion at what he was saying but understanding it at the same time.

Ruri looked up at him, a small smile on her face. "You mean, I have the aura of a...clone?" she asked him. She just shook her head and gave a small whistle. The raven that was perched outside flew in and landed on her shoulder. She looked at Maxima, a strange smile on her face.
"I am that but so much more than you know." she said. Her eyes became a little lighter as her mood improved. She sighed and reached up, stroking the raven's head. It looked at Maxima through beady black eyes.

Maxima sighed," Well not exactly a clone." he said quietly. "Well you see my friend Kula and K' are both modified humans. K' was a man who was experimented on and his memories removed and Kula was created from a petri dish fused with the element of ice. So you just seem to have a more similar aura than Kula more than K'." he said quietly. But Maxima waved his hands," Of course I'm not saying you were born in a petri dish." he said laughing nervously.

Ruri nodded. Though she had seen the furture of certain indivisuals when she was with GlobalHetix, she had not known all of it. Just bits and peices. Her powers were weak then. "I see. I was created from the cells of a human woman, and the cells of a raven. Then injected into the donor's daughter-in-law. I was born a few weeks later." she said softly, closing her eyes.
The raven on her shoulder nugged her and she opened her eyes. "Do not fear. I am fine, Jullian." she said to the raven. She turned her gaze back to Maxima. "Can you tell more about this, K', man?" she asked him.

Maxima nodded," K' used to have a human name and family and all that. But a group took him away when he was 5. They took away his memories and experimented on him making him a human weapon. He wields the same flames as a man named Kyo Kusanagi. Right now K' seems to have his memories returned but he will forever be a modified human weapon. As will I." Maxima said removing his shirt showing a rather large laser cannon where his chest would normally be.

Ruri nodded as she listened, not interupting. She looked at the cannon and nodded. "I see." she said once again. Reaching up, Ruri pulled her hood over her head once again. She held out her arm and Jullian hopped down s he was looking at her. She gave a strange whispling that was inchanting but also strange. The raven nodded and flew off as she stood.
Ruri put her arm down. She stood and went to the tent door. "I want to meet this K'. Can you show me where he is?" she asked Maxima, ergency as well as curiosity in her voice.

Maxima rubbed his head as he button back up his jacket," Well he was in America last so I suppose I could try reaching him now. " Maxima said tapping his finger a small click was heard and different digital sounds were made," K'....when you get this message. Meet me at the Vadican City in Italy. It's somewhat urgent and you need to pick up Kula." he said quietly before tapping his head again the sounds died down. "Well hopefully he got the message." he said smiling.

K' had just finished up his business at another NESTS hideout when he got a message from Maxima. "Wonder what he wants all of a sudden..." He said as he started to listen to it. "Hm... Italy, he expects me to travel country to country like that?" He asked himself. He turned to his sister, Whip, who was in the building with him. "Hey, Whip. Can you get me a ride to the Vadican City in Italy?" He asked. After a while he was on his way to Italy. When he got there he found his way to the Vadican City. "Well, I'm here. So where is Maxima? And how am I supposed to pick up Kula? I have no idea where she is either!!" He said to himself. He started to wander around hoping to find him. How hard could it be to find someone as big as him anyways?
