The Alchemist- Dave's Back

Maxine just left the studio to run and buy some groceries. Arrielle watches out the window as Dave finally wakes up.

Dave: Where did Maxine go to?

Arrielle: Dave, your back! Are you okay?

Dave: Yes.

Arrielle: She went to the store.

They both wait until Maxine comes back.

Maxine: Dave, I don't know what that last battle did to you. You might need to test your abilities. I cannot guarantee that you are 100% back.

Dave: I know you did your best Maxine. I will have to take Arrielle with me to test out my abilities and maybe get her to train on the spot.

Dave says goodbye to Maxine

Arrielle: Dave? Where are you going to take me?

Dave: Chinatown


Dave and Arrielle arrive in Chinatown.

Dave: Arrielle, this part of town is a training ground for new alchemists. I don't know if you remember what happened last time but this time you will see things your normal vision cannot see. I want you to observe people as they do their normal things. See if your senses can detect any strange sensations.

Arrielle: Ok.

They walk around Chinatown observing people. A group of bad guys running off into an alleyway.

Dave: Come Arrielle, it's time to test your abilities and mine.

Arrielle: Wait Dave! This is crazy

The group of bandits are busy doing their business until Dave and Arrielle arrive.

Bandit Leader: Well what do we have here? You two don't seem like the lost type? You cops?

Dave: No we are not. We would like to ask you to return whatever you stole from those people.

Bandit Leader: Hmmm that's strange. You have no proof that we stole anything from anyone. Maybe it's time for us to teach you both a lesson here.

Dave: Why don't we make a bet?

Bandit Leader: A bet?

Dave: If my student here can beat all of you, you will return everything you stole.

Bandit Leader: What if she loses? What do you we get from you?

Dave: My student will not lose. I will personally guarantee and if you try anything funny, you will have to deal with me personally. Arrielle, trust me on this one. Use your intuition. You will know what to do.

Arrielle: I never fought people before and you put me on a sticky situation.

Dave: Don't worry I have faith in you.

Arrielle walks towards the center of the alley as the bandits size her up. One of them attacks Arrielle. Arrielle blocks any attack attempt. The bandit grabs a long chain and tries to use it against Arrielle.

Dave: Arrielle, catch....

Dave throws his favorite weapon of choice his arnis sticks. Arrielle catches them and uses them against the bandit.
