Again, he was quick enough... but just barely. He had just started to fall through the portal, but his reflexes gave him the time to jab the blades he had into the ground just outside the range of the portal, and he landed in an ungraceful way.

However, he then produced what looked to be a small remote control from his pocket, and pushed a button on it, grinning as he did so.

When he did, the stakes that had been embedded in both telephone poles started to spark a little, before they shot electricity out from them, probably drawing it from the poles themselves. The electricity was headed straight for where Vyn was standing, but at the last second, a sword was thrown behind Vyn, the metal attracting the electricity away from her.

"What!?" the man exclaimed.

"Phew." Jaden said, stepping out from the newly formed portal he'd created.

"Looks like I got here just in time."

The man snarled to himself as he got to his feet.

"Damn it." he cursed.

"Curse you..." he said, reaching for his blades, but they disappeared down a couple of small portals, landing beside Jaden.

"Yeah, not gonna let you have those..." Jaden mumbled.

Then, before the man could react, Jaden disappeared down a portal that he formed under himself, landing straight on the man's shoulders, driving him down into the ground again.

Jaden then gracefully dismounted, landing with a bit of a flourish.

The man growled again.

"Figures." he said.

"Having to go two-on-one." he muttered.

"Never pegged you for a coward, Sherwood." he then said to Vyn.

"Excuse me?" Jaden asked, sounding offended.

"Shut up." the man snapped at him.

"Talkin' to Sherwood, over there." he said, gesturing to Vyn... which caused Jaden to look at the woman, absolute pure shock in his expression.

Jaden and the man were both silent, both looking scared... but the man, even more so.

It would seem that Vyn had said something that triggered something within him... some sort of flashback. He looked like he was suffering a PTSD attack, to be honest.

He proceeded to hyperventilate for a few seconds... and then passed out right there and then.

"...ah..." Jaden stammered.

"I... ah..." he muttered further, unable to form coherent sentences at the moment.

"........." Jaden was silent as he caught the phone, and then nodded.

"Ah... uh, right then." he said.

"G-got it." he managed to get out.

He then scrolled through the contacts on the phone, before finding the one called 'Justine', and then pressing the 'call' button on it.

Meanwhile, as Vyn checked the hunter, she found that he wasn't actually unconscious... but he seemed to be dead to the world, lost in some VERY unpleasant memories.

"Ah..." Jaden stammered, the name 'Sydney' causing him to freeze for a moment. But the darkness in the female's tone forced him to remain cognizant and 'there'.

"This... this isn't her." he replied.

"It's... uh... look, just... there's been a run-in with that hunter, Neo Helsing." he told her, before giving her all the information that he had. What he'd heard over the phone, and what had happened when he showed up.

"He's currently restrained, but I think she wants you to come and get him." he said further, giving her the location she was at.

"Or, she just wanted you to know what's up." he then added.

Jaden didn't have time to say anything in response, before the call was ended.

"....hm." he mumbled.

"Ah, right." he said.

"Hey!" he then called to Sydney/Vyn.

"She said to 'send the ass'." he told her. "She said to do it in two minutes, and that you'd know where." he continued. "They need time to receive him, or whatever." he went on.

He then stepped closer towards her, and handed her her phone back.

"Here." he said.

"You... probably want this back."

Jaden watched as the man was taken away, and then looked at Vyn.

"Ah..." he stammered.

"Well... yeah. Yeah, I have questions." he said.

"Plenty of them." he told her.

"But I suppose it all depends on whether or not you're in the mood to answer them." he went on.

"As you said, that isn't going to be cheap." he continued, looking at where the car had been.

"Do you want to be alone right now?" he then asked.

Jaden's mind raced with decisions for a few seconds... until he saw the portal begin to shrink.

Lightning-fast, he made his decision, and raced through the portal, emerging in a den-like area on the other side.

He looked around for a few seconds, and then to the portal that had just disappeared behind him.

"...wow." he muttered.

"A LOT smoother than the ones -I- create." he mumbled further.

"Uh.... yeah, sure." Jaden replied.

"Some coffee would be good, sure." he told her.

"And yeah, about that." he then muttered.

"Due to your hunting, you say." he commented.

"You're not your average hunter, are you?" he asked her.
