Banished Library - Gensokyo | Day
Seeing that his gun was ineffective, John opted to using his Darkness abilities. John stomped the ground, and suddenly a dense wall of Darkness spikes erupted from the ground, impaling the enemies charging towards them that Patchouli's swords had not hit.

Banished Library - Gensokyo | Day
John was a little curious by what the mouse meant when he said "the Elites." The last time he heard the word "Elite" used like that in a sentence was when one would refer to the Sangheili, otherwise known as "the Elites."
"What do you mean by 'the Elites'?, John asked the mouse in a slightly curious tone.

"What do you mean, what do you mean?" The mouse rose his eyebrows. "Are you trying to say that you are not from around here?"
"No, we are from the surface." Patchouli answered, which made the mouse gasp in shock and awe.
"Really?" The mouse gaped. "Wow, wait until I tell my friends!"

John was even more curious about the mouse's friends. Now that John thought about it, perhaps the mouse could serve as a guide and find them a safer way through the library. It would decrease the amount of time they had to spend, as well as keep everyone safer. After the mouse spoke, John knelt down in front of the mouse and politely asked his question.
"This may be sudden, but do you know your way around here, maybe of a safer route to the deeper parts of the library? The reason we're down here is because we're trying to find a special book to save one of our friends. She doesn't have much time, so we would highly appreciate your help. If you are not able to help us, then would your friends be able to?", John asked the mouse.

"Know my way?" The mouse smirked. "I crawled around this underground for 20 years! I can find the path to everywhere but the deepest part of this place. The safety however I cannot guarantee. It is a harsh world down here."
'Are you sure we can trust him?' Patchouli whispered into John's ears, standing rather close for comfort to John. 'Remember what happened last time.'

John was a little bothered by Patchouli being so close to him, but he knew she had something important to say to him. After she spoke, John considered what Patchouli said for only a fraction of a second, but it was enough time for him to fully mull over it. John knew what Patchouli saying was true. They just met this mouse, and for all they knew, it could have been a scout for a greater enemy. Of course, they also saved this mouse's life, and the mouse seemed grateful for it. Yuuka didn't have much time left, and they didn't know whether or not Yuuka's degeneration would accelerate. This mouse could easily be exactly what the group needed to save Yuuka as soon as possible, or another distraction. The fact of the matter was, the group needed what this mouse knew. Was the risk worth it? To John, the chances of this mouse helping them outweighed the risks of it being a trap. After taking only a split second to mull over Patchouli's warning, John spoke.
"I know we know nothing about this mouse, but we need him. In fact, he could benefit from us as well. We would be able to clear out some of the creatures that want to kill him, like those.. creatures we just killed. We need a way to quickly get through this library, and he's our chance to do so. Despite the fact that we know nothing about him, I'm going to trust him.", John quietly explained to Patchouli.
After explaining, John turned his head over to the mouse and spoke.
"I know you have no reason to trust us, as we have no reason to trust you, but I'm going to. If you help us quickly get through the library, we'll kill the creatures that want to kill you as we go by, lowering the amount of predators in the area. Does that sound like a deal?", John asked the mouse.

"Why are you doing this supposed "Clean up" anyways? More zombies will simply replace those you kill." Hank asked. "Seems a bit pointless."
Endless Snow
After a long time, Malthael reached a place where the sand ended, but was instead replaced by snow. Ruins passed by him as he floated, along with odd markers. Eventually, he reached a gap where he could not simply float across. His spectral wings appeared, and with a burst of energy, he went through the air with huge amounts of speed. At this point, his journey was almost over. He could go back and put those demon scum back into the Soulstone.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

After everyone finished, they all pitched in to help clean. The room was spotless in no time.
"Whew, all done!" Aya said. Ocelot was done picking up the leftover dishes.
"Yea... anyways, be ready, Aya. I'll be out soon, 'kay?"
"Okay!" Aya cried with glee. She stepped outside. Meanwhile, Ocelot walked into a room... where Phantom was being held.
"... hey Biometal, ya here? What's Phantom's status?"

Men of Neo-Yakuza were dragging an operative who had failed a missión. It was obvious that he was terrified beyond belief, and the ones dragging him were almost as scared. They walked into an office. A silouhette reveals a rather buff man with a mohawk.
"So, what do we have here?" The silouhette said with a strong spanish accent. The men that were dragging the operative let go and fled.
"Alright, let's get this straight here... I send you on a mission. Simple, right? You were sent to finish the job that the other guy couldn't. You... were to go to Hawaii and start another convention... but what happens? You fail, right? You're on a boat, with... two hundred soldier ranked operatives... and you... get blown up by someone? Tell me, how the hell did this happen? Huh?"
The operative stutters. "I-we were- we had no idea, we hadn't expected a-"
"'We hadn-t expected a-' really? is that what you're going on? You fuck up the misión because you didn't expect someone to try interfere, is that what you're saying, huh?"
The figure paces for a bit. "Oh, oh, I get it... you think this is a game, huh? You expect everything to go dandy just because you have a bunch of soldiers?"
"N-no, that's not at all-"
"DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A GAME?!" He yells. "I am not about to lose control JUST BECAUSE YOU ALL WERE PLAYING FOOTSIES WITH EACHOTHER!!!"
He stops for a second. "... But you know what, that's alright, you know why? You didn't mean it, you didn't expect it, verdad?" He takes a breath. "... there's only two rules... do the misión and don't fuck up. Got it? DO YOU GOT IT?!"
"Y-yes sir!" The operative said.
"Good! Tomorrow, you do the entire thing over. This time, don't fuck up. Got it?"
"Yes sir," The operative said, shaken.
"Good, now get out of my fucking face."
The operative ran out quickly as another man walked in.
"Vaas, how're ya doin', mate? Coulda' been easier on the poor guy, ah?" It was Bambi 'Buck' Hughes.
"Shut up Bambi, he messed up, he got yelled at. I can't kill him, but do you have any idea how hard it was not to?"
"Well, if you take that into consideration, you were being quite nice, eh?"
Vaas looked up at him. "... don't you have a job to do, Bambi?"
"Buck," he said,"remeber? It's Buck. I'll get back to it, just thought I'd stop by to see an old friend."
He started walking back out. "By the way, clean up on isle nine, someone left a trail o' piss." He walked off laughing. There really wasn't any, but it was just his dark sense of humor.
