"Where is it?" The tiny blond thief muttered to herself as she looked around the outer base of the Mirror Palace at the amusement park. She had scoured the entire structure top to bottom, every twist and turn she, Hotaru, and Kage had taken as their game together had progressed. The missing article, a silver necklace, seemed to have disappeared, along with Kage's Rainbow Dark Dragon.
Tekka sighed and leaned in the shade of the mirror-palace's slide, completely baffled by what could have happened to her (well, her mother's, technically) necklace. Thieves rarely went around there because there wasn't ever anyone to rob or anything to steal, Tekka knew this because she had met and collaborated with several of them.
Unfortunately, this still left the Tora in a bit of a pickle. If she didn't find that thing fast then Aiden would undoubtedly figure it out, and then he'd hunt her down with even more rage than usual. Tekka carried a pistol now, (a shiny silver Smith & Wesson that had a pretty damn good feel to it) but there was always the problem with her aiming during a stressful situation. Especially when being charged at by a war-machine.
The Tora sighed again, taking out her gun and looking at it, a bit of sun gleaming off of it and potentially blinding a pair of swallows.

Locke breathed heavily as she jumped from the top of the carousel to the roof of the old Elephant Ear stand. She had chased Aiden here, but he somehow evaded her for the moment. The albino cursed herself for letting such a slip occur. SHe had to intercept the giant Ookami before he could find Tekka, lest she let her honor code down. It had taken years to sculpt that last bit of law into a sacred unwritten rulebook, and Locke would sooner damn herself than allow an innocent person be harmed so badly for petty larceny.

Aiden growled, his eyes not quite normal (or sane) as he looked around the amusement park. The silver chain of the necklace was held tight in his right hand as he peered around a corner. He reeled a bit as the glint of metal momentarily blinded him before he noted with a twisted sort of delight that the shine on the metal came from Tekka. The giant slipped the necklace into his pocket, a bit of the chain dangling out the side.
He advanced from the side, making no move to conceal himself. And Tekka's head whipped his way after the first footfall reached her ears.
-------
Tekka stumbled back a few steps upon seeing what appeared to be a deranged Aiden heading her way. She let out a yelp and pulled her gun up to aim, grasping the grip hard but trembling so much that her aim was off. She didn't shoot lest she waste a shot by missing.
And he was getting closer. The little thief backed away from her advancing sibling, scared out of her mind since there was no one around to help her.
"You took it." She heard him growl. Now that she looked closer, he looked tired. Like he hadn't slept in a day or two. She knew he could go for at least a week on minimal rest, but it might turn out to be a slight advantage at least.
"You took it." He snarled again, Tekka took another two steps back. "You took my mother's necklace."
The Tora decided to cut her loses and run. She couldn't shoot. That wasn't how she did things. And doing it right now would only make her miss, and war-machine Aiden wouldn't be stopped by a warning shot.
So the little teen fled as fast as her legs could carry her. Aiden followed with a yell, barreling after her at top speed.

Locke flared out her coattails and jumped up again after grabbing a generous helping of fluffy pink cotton candy. One might think such a place wouldn't have fresh stores of the sugary snack, but the stuff had enough preservatives to stay good for eons. Carrying her treat carefully, the albino leapt from the top of the cotton candy stand and hopped over toward the Mirror Palace. She thought she had seen her giant companion heading over there, and a glint of metal had been visible near there a moment ago. On the roof of the Haunted Mansion, Locke finally spotted Aiden, advancing on a little blonde girl holding a gun. She looked quite frightened indeed, but the Brit couldn't do anything until she reached the Mirror Palace.

Tekka put her gun away and sprinted as fast as her legs would carry her, ducking dodging and weaving through overturned stands and dismembered park rides. Her size and agility aided her greatly, but Aiden simply smashed his way through in a fit of focused rage. The little Tora found herself hoping that he might just drop to the ground unconscious. She was faster than most (she had to be) but she couldn't keep the pace forever. Aiden could in the right circumstances, and this apparently qualified.

This was Locke's chance. She had made it atop the Mirror Palace, and Aiden was crashing through amusement park debris, so now was her opportunity to strike. In a way that was hopefully unseeable by the girl, the albino jumped down from the Mirror Palace and flattened her coat against her sides. This manuever made her a veritable missile, her heeled boot driven toward Aiden's chest with a drive that was almost instinctive. If this kick hit, the giant Ookami would be sent toppling over backward, and neither of the two participants in the chase would see Locke come or go.

Aiden's focus had been narrowed down to the retreating blond thief. As such, he neither noticed the shadow or the tell-tale wind whistle of an object (person) falling from above, and was kicked back into more debris.
Tekka, on the other hand, had had the misfortune of tripping over a displaced wheel as she turned around at the sound of the giant toppling. As she fell to the ground she caught a flash of pink cotton-candy. 'Oh my Ra...' she thought to herself as the person (obscured by the sun) seemed to fly off. 'I was just saved by a cotton-candy eating Power Ranger...'

Locke landed with barely a sound, ran her toungue over the almost bare stick that had been her little snack, and discarded it as she flared out her coattails and soared off in the breeze. Granted, she had just attacked a newfound friend without warning, but it was to save an innocent girl. Of course, the girl was likely the thieving Tekka; that did not warrant such a harsh beating however.
