Report for Zita.

*Bloom walked into the same room in which she first came to Zita, hoping Eruka was behind her.*
"Zita, I think we have found out something, interesting."

Eruka was directly behind Bloom under Medusa's order. Naturally, Otama Jackson was resting outside "... Ge... geko... Yes, Head Witch Zita, we have found some valuable information?" Eruka gulped a bit, wondering what Bloom would say...

Zita scratched the back of her head, adjusting her top, since for some... unknown reason.. It wasn't adjusted correctly. Cough cough "Eh? Found some information, huh? Well, go on and spill it." Zita then adjusted her hat as well.

*As Zita fixed her top, bloom looked off to the side irriated, face slightly red. She then cleared her throat, and began to speak.*
"Zita, while investigating the swamps, we encountered a black clown, and it used the same vector magic as Medusa. It also had Kaerei's spiritual presence, and since it was at the swamp, I assumed that this Kaerei and Medusa are in league with each other. Also, it seems that Eruka is physically and spiritually weak, for she was easily possessed by a vector arrow, and her bombs were ineffective against the black clown."
*She then crossed her arms and tapped her foot, like she was in deep thought.*
"I also wanted to ask you about the monsters of the Reality such as demons and whatever the black clown is counted as. They don't harm witches do they?"

Zita tapped her desk with her finger "Hm... Black Clown? Never heard of it or seen it before. Might be a new monster, but... then again... Vector Magic? That does sound like Medusa... But I know nothing of this 'Kaerei' per--" Suddenly, it hit Zita "Waiwaiwaiwaiwait. You said the swamp, didn't you? Only the Black Swamp is in the Reality village, and from what I have heard, the Black Swamp is home to the 'Frog Spirit,' as they call her. I guess this is that Kaerei you speak of?" Zita stroked her chin "... Hm... Eruka might not be spiritually weak, it is just that spiritual resistance is weakened severely just by being there, so I've heard... Because of this Frog Spirit's spiritual power.. Though it is odd that you weren't effected like Eruka was.. But... You say Eruka was hit, non? I wonder if it would be the same if you got hit..." Zita actually seemed serious for once in her life... How strange.

"Well, I have a part of Kaer-- The "Frog Spirit's" soul within my own. I think thats why I wasn't spiritually effected."
*Bloom thought back on the time when she and Kaerei fought. She remembered how dangerous she was.*
" The black clown attacks were targetted at me instead of Eruka, so I assumed that witches must not be targetted by it. If you say it may be Medusa's lastest experiment, then maybe she made it not attack witches since she is one herself?"
*She then thought about the last thing Zita said. What would have happened if she had gotten hit? Would she had become possessed just as Eruka did? Since she wasn't hit, she couldn't say anything on the matter, and with that, she realized the error of what she said.*
"I-I'm sorry, I did not take into account that getting stuck would possess someone, and I shouldn't have called Eruka spiritually weak...G-gomen.."
*She bowed to Zita, shamefully looking at her feet. She should have trusted Eruka more, but Bloom was still confused. If spiritual abilities are weakened in that area, then even a possessed Eruka shouldn't have been able to use spiritual moves to power up her own. Not only that, if the clowns goal was to eliminate them, why would it possess only one of the two, then leave? It could have worked with the one it possessed to possess or take down the other one. Bloom kept these suspicions to herself.*

"It's alright to be suspicious, don't feel bad." Zita closed her eye "Even so, it still is weird... It didn't go after Eruka at first, hm...? Well, if it had the Frog Spirit's spiritual power within it, this power would only increase if it was coming directly FROM her... But I can't say if it was or not..." Zita's eye quickly opened as she jumped up and pointed at Bloom "You have part of the Frog Spirit's spirit within you!? Maybe THIS is why it tried to get rid of you before it touched Eruka! If you had some of the Frog Spirit's power, you might be immune to possession by her!" Zita pondered, then sat down "... Or maybe... You would be even MORE susceptible to it... Huh... What a difficult solution... But on any note." Zita would look at Eruka now "Eruka. Tell me how it felt being possessed by the creature... I'm sure that will be of some use to us."

Eruka froze for a second, gulping. She knew she wasn't really possessed back then, but was just using some of Mederei's power... So what was she to say? <Geko...Medusa-sama... What should I say since I wasn't really possessed? I wouldn't know how to-->

<I will speak for you, Eruka.> Medusa interrupted. Medusa was sly enough to get Eruka through this, and with having Kaerei within her at the moment, it would be easy to describe what it felt like to have her inside.

Eruka's eyes narrowed a bit and she began to speak "Well. It was cold and dark, and I had no control over my body whatsoever. It was as if 2 more people had entered my body and were slowly taking it over completely, blocking my soul and mind with their own presence. Is that a sufficient enough answer, Head Witch Zita?" A few moments after 'Eruka' stopped talking, her eyes returned to normal and the expression on her face became unsettled, as it was before.

*Bloom looked back up at Eruka as she spoke. She didn't really have anything to say, so she waited for Zita to respond to Eruka's description of being possessed.*

Zita closed her eye again, nodding "I see, I see... Well, I guess we cannot use much of that if it was dark, meaning you couldn't see and we know who possessed you, so we don't gain any new information... Huh. How about you, Bloom? What does the Frog Spirit's presence feel like inside of you?" Perhaps Bloom would be of more use since she harbors a portion of the spirit within herself...

"The spirit caused by Kaerei inside me has called itself Kuiin. She was out of control at first and took over my body when I felt defeated, or near death, but thanks to Mahk-x, shes been calmer, but I have no clue how long that is supposed to last. Many people on Mahk-x team almost died because of the things she did. And this is only a portion from the Frog Spirit."

Zita tapped her finger on the desk once more "... Hm... I wonder if you can actually use this to track down the Frog Spirit... this portion should lead you to the whole of her, right? And if what we assume is true, she should be with Medusa. So, do you think you can do it?"

"Ge... geko..." <Medusa-sama! They may have figured out a way to get to you! Can they really do that!?>

<No, Eruka, my dear. Thanks to my magic boost for my Soul Protect, they shouldn't be able to locate me no matter what they do. And despite that, I have Kaerei's Soul Wipe, which can hide my very existence from anyone and anything... geko... So, I am completely safe. You just don't let them find my hideout...>

Eruka nodded blankly, then realizing she had just nodded tried to cover it up with "... O-oh, that sounds like a great idea, Head Witch Zita!" Phew... Saved...

*Bloom nodded at Zita proposal.*
"Can do, but Zita may I request something of you? Would it be possible to send another person with us? If Medusa is as strong as you say, then if we happened to find her, me and Eruka might not be enough."

Zita prodded her head "Send someone else? Well, I'm low on witches... The only other witches I have are Mizune, Yui and Chloe. Everyone else is a witchling... I could always ask my buddy Maze for one of his shinobi, or something... Ya think that's good enough, or do you have any suggestions as to who?"
