"Hello Folks, May i Interest you in buying a set of potions?" Said Jack as the Door opened. He had a giant smile on his face. He saw Gretchens eyes grow wide. "Morning, toots." Said jack as he stood there.

"DON'T MORNING TOOTS ME!!!" Bellowed Gretchen as She Unleashed a Large Lightning bolt and it struck Jack in the Chest knocking him on the Ground. "Well im Glad nothing has Changed." Coughed Jack as he stood up.

Novus runs to the door, and gasps lightly "JACK!" he yells, just completely suprised by what he is seeing. "He looks at Gretchen who proceeds to run out and grab Jack by the cuff of his neck and drag him inside the shop, ignoring the many suprised eyes of passers-by stareing at them, and then bellows "BOY CLOSE THE DOOR" Novus walks over and shuts the door, then stands there, thinking of whats going on, then he walks to the room where they went to

Gretchen threw Jack Across the room and unleashed the largest bolt of lightning at Jack, that she could muster. Jack Narrowly dodged the gigantic bolt of lightning that the old woman shot at him. "JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING PLAYING WITH GODS." Roared Gretchen as she walked up to Jack and Continued bellowing at him until she was starting to lose her voice.

"Well its great to see you too." Said Jack after Gretchen finally shut up. " i had some business to attend to." Said Jack as he looked at the Amulet round his neck and smiled. "God, I can't have one day to myself, Without having someone freak out."

Novus slowly walks into the room, looking at Jack "Well the way you talked to me, sounded like you would be gone for more than one day, Jack" Novus states, and smiles lightly "Glad your back though" He says, and then points to Gretchen "By the way, she has your sword" Novus states laughing alil, noticing Gretchen glaring at him, then Novus continues "So what buisness did you have to attend to, and what does this all mean for me?"

" Well it seems the gods want me to go on a hunt." Said Jack as he retreived the Kingslayer. "It seems the Dark Lord, guy we saw in our previous encounter, has pissed off the Gods." Jack Continued, "Something about me being Savior of the Universe. Oh Did I mention I'm finally at peace. No more crazy psycho Jack flip outs any more." Laughed Jack as he wondered if they noticed the change in his mood. "Oh,By the way, I convened with my wife." Said Jack as he Looked at the key shaped amulet.

"The Darklord.. huh? Who or what is he, and why is it your job to get him?" Novus says, and looks at Jack, whos smiling, which catches Novus off guard "Your..Wife?" Novus states, as Gretchen speaks up "What the hell do you mean you talked to your wife?!" She bellows, normal Gretchen, and Novus laughs at her overreaction and looks at Jack, waiting for him to explain

"I WAS IN THE REALM OF THE GODS." Yelled Jack, "Where else am i gunna talk to the dead and the Gods?" Jack said with a slight smirk. " It is a rather nice place, You know, that is if you ever manage to drop dead."Jack laughed as he dodged the frying pan that was thrown at him. " As for your questions the gods were kinda mum on the details. They just said kill the bastard save the Universe."

Novus laughs at Gretchen, whos throwing stuff at jack "So in otherwords, they just expect you to do it, cause they say its your destiny" he says, and then shrugs "I dont know what to belive right now, so where do i fit in huh?" Novus continues, and then smirks "You moron. I told you not to mess with the gods!" Gretchen chimes in, completely pissed at Jack, and then storms out of the room. "shes in such a plesant mood huh.." Novus says and laughs, then looks back at Jack "Now that the scary lady is gone, speak" Novus laughs

"Dunno." Said Jack as he shrugged. "The gods aren't a talkative lot. They went straight to business." Jack Laughed as he opened the Door. "Well Come on then I've been wanting to see how my bar is holding up." Jack walked out the door and down the street whistling a tune as he did so.

Novus sighs lightly and then walks after Jack, shuting Gretchens shop door, and then walks with Jack. Looking at all the people walking down the streets of the City, and looks to Jack "I didnt know you owned a bar Jack, bet its not their for how long you been gone" Novus states, laughing

"A Thats where your wrong." Said Jack as he stopped and looked up the very old building before him. At the top He saw a sign that said "The Dragons Breath." "Hmm, I wonder how the wine tastes now." Said Jack as he brought a key out of his Pocket. " Novus, My Friend. Welcome to the Dragons Breath." Said Jack as he opened the door. A gust of wind filled the room. The lanterns Lit themselves and the chairs set them selves neatly next to the tables. "Nice, Trick Eh?" Said Jack as he continued to whistle, while he walked behind the bar.

"Very nice Jack" Novus says, loving the place already and looks around the place, looking like it was just cleaned spotless, and then he walks up to the bar and sits down, looking at jack "I kinda had you pegged as a bar owned.." Novus chuckles and streches "So is this going to be our base or somthin?" Novus asks, looking at Jack

"Well, Its going to be my base of operations. It always has been." Said Jack as he opened a finely aged wine. "The question is what are you going to do?" he said as he smelled the the wine. "Do you leave and let the fates write your story, Or do you stay with me and cut your own destiny?" Jack poured himself a glass of wine forgetting to offer Novus any.

"Well" Novus states, looking around the place "Im kinda already fully in this, no use to leave." He says and looks at Jack with a smile on his face. "Also, remember, im a breaker, the guardians of the world. I cant just back down and hide in a hole" Novus laughs at the rabbit pun, then smiles at Jack again, then pulls out the Emblem Tsung gave him "I still got alot of things to find out about myself.." Novus says, stareing at the emblem

"I've been meaning to ask." Said Jack as he walked round the bar and sat next to novus. " How are you and Sephiroth connected. And whats with the Clone business?" Jack asked quietly as he sipped his wine savoring the flavor. "There's a bit of something I cant place my finger on about you." Said Jack As he set his glass down. "I dont know what it is but I like it."
