Ignis smiled in a sleepy state. "Morning Mai.." He said in a sleepy and croaky voice, Ignis' eyes adjusting to the light. "Big Bro!" Serenity exclaimed. She pushed past Mai and leapt on top Ignis and hugged him, resting her head against his chest, grinning. Ignis' eyes widened, as this came as a shock to him.

Mai moved out of the way when Serenity pushed past, coming off to the side a little and smiling slightly at the picture. "Would you like breakfast? Serenity and I have already eaten." Mai asked Ignis, walking and stopping by the door frame. Suddenly, a light knock rapped on the front door, and Mai froze where she stood. "I need to talk to Mai." The clear female voice rang out. They all knew who this was.
"Stay in here please, both of you. Ignis, protect your sister." Mai told them before heading out into the living room to the front door. She opened the door and closed it again softly behind her, looking down to the golden fierce eyes of her mother. "You just can't leave me alone, can you?"

"Uh yes plea-" Ignis said but was interuppted by the all too familiar voice. Ignis nodded before jumping out of bed. "Serenity, hide in the closet and don't come out until I say so!" Ignis demanded. Serenity was scared again, recognising the voice as she went ran to the closet. Ignis got into a firebending stance by the door.

"I'm your mother. You are my responsibility, and I love you." Mais mother smiled at Mai, while Mai glared at her mother in return. "I'm sorry, sweetie. It not your fault you happen to be fond of commoners. Or boys, for that matter. But that's okay, because I forgive you. Come back to the palace, and we'll get right back to where we left off, alright?" Come now." Mais mother started off down the pathway, turning around and beckoning for Mai to come. Mai looked over to her, frozen in her spot, glaring at the incredulous woman.
"I'm not going with you." Mai told the woman, her voice steely and her eyes stone cold. Mais mother looked shocked. "Excuse me?" Mais mother walked up the pathway again, closer to Mai. "I said, I'm not going with you." Mai repeated in the same final tone. Mais mother glared at Mai, rage coming across her again. "You insolent girl - Guards! Guards! Come here now!" Mais mother shrieked, guards melting in. Mai blocked the door and took them each out one by one, either with her Martial art or blades. Finally, one caught her arm and the other aimed a fireball to her stomach. Mai cringed slightly in the pain and other guards took her arms behind her back, tying her feet together so she couldn't run away or throw her blades. Crap.
The guards knocked down the door, throwing her down with unnecessary force, one that made her back throb and knocked the breath out of her. "Stay away from them." Mai said in a threatening tone to the guards, struggling against her bounds. Mais mother stepped in over the broken door, heading over to Ignis' and Serenitys bedroom door and opening it, stepping to the side while more guards took a hold of Ignis, knocking him out. Half of the guards stayed near Ignis, ready to attack again if he woke.
The other guards went to the closet where they could hear Serenitys sobs, taking her into the living room, one holding his hand by her neck, ready to kill. The other guards had two hands near Ignis' neck and a blade against one of the large veins. Mais mother paced in front of Mai, where she struggled against the grasps of the guards who could barely keep her. She struggled and trashed, attacking all the guards as well as she could, knocking a few off balance, and making the other confused. Mais mother stilled her with her next threat.
"You will stay away from these children, or all three of you will die."

Ignis knocked out one of the guards with a powerful blast of fire. Other guards then held Ignis down before hitting him on the back of the head. Ignis lost concioussness at that moment and fell to the ground with a thud. Serenity screamed very loudly when the guards began to pull her out of the closet and hold her down.
Ignis woke up but did not attack due to the blades. Ignis laughed. "You won't kill your own daughter...You love her.. You would never kill your own daughter..." Ignis said defying her and accidently repeating himself. "I warned you once..Now you'll suffer." Ignis reminded her, in a toneless voice.

"Are you so sure you ignorant boy?" Mais mother moved in a blur up to Mai, pulling the blade across Mais neck, making a shallow but very painful cut, dangerously close to one of her main veins. Mai kept still, her face emotionless but her eyes as sharp and knives. Mais mother worse a sadistic grin, her eyes bright, even as she cut her daughter. Mais eyes darted over to Ignis. "This is what I meant by 'physco'."

"Well I warned her.." Ignis said before shrugging his soldiers. Ignis tried to make a duck and rush roll as he darted over to the oven. Ignis fired several blasts at the guards , defeating them. Ignis then turned on the oven at a high heat of gas. Ignis then jammed it so it couldn't be changed. Ignis ran over to punch the sadistic woman but one more guard grabbed Ignis and bound him with ropes. Ignis then started cursing loudly and yelling at Mai's mother. "Go on kill us! You'll never break our spirit! If one of us goes down, we'll all go down!" Ignis shouted at the top of his voice before cursing at her very loudly.

While the guards were distracted, Mai shrugged them off grabbing one of her blades and slicing the rope that bond her ankles together in two. Mai waved off the guards, giving them no choice but to obey her, heading out of the door. Mais mother just watched in shock as the events took place. Mai carefully stood in front of her mother, a few feet away, carefully behind Ignis. She took on her blades and cut through the ropes on his hands behind his back, just in case, so that her mother wouldn't see. She tucked the blade away again.
"Mother, it doesn't have to be like this. Leave them alone and I'll... I'll promise to stay away. Just don't give them any more trouble." Mai hissed through her teeth. "Give me a moment. Head back to the palace. I'll follow in a little while." Mai told her mother, looking down to her own feet. Mais mother glared at them all and left with her chin in the air, defeated by her lack of guards. Mai then sliced through the ropes on his feet and moved carefully over to Serenity, gently kneeling down in front of her. Mai put one arm gently around Serenitys shoulders. "They're gone now. They'll never come back. Never again." Mai soothed her, kissing her forehead, then leaving her.
She walked across the living room, stopping in front of Ignis. Mais eyes conveyed all the pain and sadness she felt for leaving the two. "It's safest if I go with my mother. For you two. If she keeps coming back, one of you two will be hurt and I'm not sure if I could bear that or one of you could ever go without one another." Mai stated, then holding her head down as she walked through the open doorway, pulling the door up again as she went, fixing it in a split second. Mai looked inside the door again, feeling her eyes sting. "Goodbye."

Ignis when Mai said she had to leave, ran to his room and got Ignis and Serenity's stuff. He then tossed it all out the window. It landed on a building not that far down. The stuff was not damaged or broken. "No..it's not goodbye." Ignis said. Serenity nodded at what Mai had said and she kissed her back on the cheek. Ignis then dashed past Mai and held her mother tightly by her neck via his arms.
Ignis took out a needle like item and injected it into the neck of Mai's mother. Her screams were silenced as she fell to the ground unconciouss. "That will neatralise her chi flow for a few hours, give her amnesia of all of this and..possibly change her.." Ignis said. "I didn't want to kill her..She's your mother." Ignis said. "So should we dump her in some Earth Kingdom village?" Ignis asked looking over her body.

Mai watched her mother scream, not doing anything. She didn't love her mother at all - the harsh criticism and them telling you you're not worth anything your whole life does that - but she didn't quite hate her. She was her family, and even if she died Mai probably wouldn't care all that much, though she would be sad for a little while. Once Mai decided to come back to reality, after her mother had fallen, she was automatically not sure.
"But... Earth Nation? Don't you think my father would notice his wife is gone? And my brother his mother?" Mai stated, skeptical. "I mean, I suppose we could forge a note to say she wanted to take a trip to see a cousin in the Earth Nation..." Mai trailed off into thought, then going off to pick up her mother and pick her up, hiding her just so people on the street wouldn't notice the unconscious generals wife.

"Good idea Mai!" Ignis said. "Or, you could fake her death..." Ignis said. "Nooo...actually I have a better idea.." He added. "Everyone stand back!" Ignis said raising his voice before he ran down the corridor. Ignis then fired a blast of fire down the corridor. The gas from the apartment then ignited causing an explosion, blasting the apartment to oblivion and sending everything left burned and flying down onto the streets.
"Now you can say that she left for some quiet time after the explosion." Ignis said ignoring the burning rubble. "And now I get 500 gold pieces in refund." Ignis said before smirking.

"So, to try and get a cover story for my mother... you blow up your own house..." Mai said slowly, her mouth dropping open slightly and the house had burst into flames. In the back of her mind she noted that she probably wouldn't get her hair ties back now. Mai shook her head, picking up her mother carefully and easily.

"I knew it was going to blow up any way. I was planning to blow it up, with your psycho mother and her guards." Ignis said walking past Mai. They had both forgotten about Serenity, who was now in even more of a mental state. Ignis spotted Serenity in a fetile position, in the corner. Ignis dashed to her, picked her up in her arms, as she held tight to him and rested her head on his chest.
A few hours had past and they were at a docking area. Ignis was dressed in a black ninja gear carrying Mai's mother in a sack with air holes. Serenity had already hid at Mai's house. Ignis slid the sack with Mai's mother, onto a cargo ship for the Earth Kingdom. The ship would sail in an hour and arrive in four hours. Mai's mother would wake up in six hours. "Thanks for letting me stay with you Mai." Ignis said to her.

"No problem - it's the least I could really do considering my mother wants to kill us all and everything." Mai half smiled. She was wearing her usual outfit, plus a newer coat since her old one got burnt in the explosion. "You can stay however long you'd like, and I can give you money whenever you want to move out. I have way too much money anyway. Like a room half the size of the palace full of gold." Mai rolled her eyes at her own wealth.
