Sandwire City

Startled gasps ran throughout the Sandwire Plaza as Vex made his "announcement". There were calls for police as people, surprisingly, stayed where they were to see what would happen next.

"And now," continued Vex, "I'm afraid I really must be going. Remember this day...I just did you a favour."

Then he shouted the codephrase that would summon his 'escape artists', a.k.a. the Pathfinders. "INDIGO VIOLET!"

At once, black-robed Pathfinders in dark masks began to jump down from balconies on harness ropes. Upon reaching the floor, they disconnected themselves from the ropes, one handing a clip to Vex so that he could ascend. Vex merely nodded to him before harnessing quickly and jumping up the wall like a ninja. Below him, Pathfinders released various Houndour and Mightyena and unsheathed swords before running at the police who were now arriving.

Making it to the balcony, Vex shouted towards Ixidor's alley, and hoped that Ixidor would understand what he was trying to say. "Intruder, meet me outside the tunnel!"

And with that, he darted, fast as the wind, toward the edge of Sandwire City...
