Ryoga was sent out to London to get more materials for the shop. The metal would be delivered via a special airline, but he was here hunting diamonds, and perhaps something more. He walked down the London streets, carrying a heavy excavation gear as he headed toward a nearby mining area. The weight and his job were the last things on his mind, however. Just a few days earlier he had been informed indirectly that Pegasus Cross would soon devour him. Unless he absorbed mana from something, he would die. All of this was becoming a burden on his mind, but these worries were too deep ingrained for him to be able to shake them off.

"What are we doing here in London, sensei?" asked a bored Momoko, following close behind her master, Alastor, "Can't we go somewhere more fun? Like a karaoke bar?"
Alastor wasn't really paying attention to her. He was too busy looking - for what - he wasn't quite sure. He just a had feeling it was somewhere in London. Or maybe not. He shrugged. He loved London so much, any excuse to go was fine with him.
"Hey look at that guy," Momo pointed at Ryoga, "Is he some sort of arcylobbist?"
"Archeologist," Alastor corrected, checking the man out, "Let's go and find out, shall we?"
"Yay!" Momo clapped, "I just love meeting new people!"

"If you follow my directions perfectly, you'll arrive at the magic stone I felt earlier. You'll just have to dig it out," Pegasus Cross spoke into Ryoga's mind. Ryoga simply nodded and followed the directions he had been given earlier. He made his way into the deserted mine. The lights were still there for whatever reason, probably because it was only recently abandoned and was a 30 minute walk from London. Most people would want to rest under some warm cave lights, so why bother putting them out?
Ryoga dropped the excavation gear he was carrying and took out what looked like a folding chair, a pick and a basket. He placed the chair to face a wall in the cave, placed the basked on the ground, and sat down in the chair. He slowly began to pick at the wall, carefully looking for a hint of the magic stone.

.....And the entire time, Alastor and Momoko have following him close behind without his knowledge. It's not like they were good at sneaking around or anything (cause they're not), but because Ryoga was so focused on finding the magic stone that he didn't notice.
Finally, Alastor decided it was time to make their presence know to the man so he slowly crept up behind him in the abandoned mine while he was picking away at the wall. He reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder.

For some reason, Ryoga's immediate reaction was to slam the pick into the wall, reach into his pocket, pull out and equip a ring, and put his hand to his belt. "Driver On! Ready?!" the Pegasus Driver declared as it appeared, slamming into Ryoga's belt and wrapping itself around his waist. He immediately grabbed another ring as he turned around and looked at Alastor.
"Oh..." he said simply, his eyes immediately losing all interest.

"Hello!" Alastor waved while Momoko danced behind him to some song in her head that only she could hear.

He looked the man up and down before sitting in his chair again and removing the pick from the wall. "If you're here asking for a ring to be made, I don't have enough materials yet, so tell that asshole in the suit to keep his panties on..." Ryoga said in a depressed manner as he began picking at the wall again.

"Asshole in a suit?" Alastor looked down at the suit he was wearing, "I just met you and you're already calling me an asshole?"

"Not you, the asshole who tried to kidnap me in his party van," Ryoga said as he took a large swing with the pick and slammed it into the wall, causing a sharp sound to ring throughout the mine. "Besides, you don't seem very responsible either. You brought a little girl into a mine."

Alastor frowned, "Would you rather i bring her to a bomb factory? A mine is much safer than a bomb factory, don't you agree?"
The girl in question was busy making shadow puppets.

"Do as you will. Unless you're a Phantom that I can absorb, I'm really not interested right now," Ryoga said as he picked at the wall some more.

"Absorb?" now Alastor was really interested, "What do you mean you absorb Phantoms?"

Ryoga slammed the pick into the wall again and stood up. "I'll make it short and sweet, since, quite honestly, I'm a little bit down about the situation. Since you didn't react to my Driver, I'm assuming you're a mage, or you're related. Well, I have a Phantom in my body that only regenerates mana when I absorb Phantoms. I haven't fought a Phantom in about a month. I not only have little mana at this point, but I'm sure my little Phantom friend is ready to eat me soon..."

"Is that so....?" Alastor laughed whole-heartily, "Well why didn't you just say so?! We can help you find a Phantom to absorb!"

Ryoga's eyes popped open and a smile appeared on his face. "R-really?! I don't wanna die, so don't fuck with me!"
