"We are reporting live at a scene where a building had been lifted directly into the sky after not only the shattering of its DamageCompound but a devastating quake that rocked the block for at least 10 miles…"
Thus Dark Elf lady dressed in a suite was televised by an Elf and she was one of very, very many.
The media had long gathered before the building belonging to Illjako Enterprises, reporters spoke on what they knew, what they thought the did and what they hoped had or had not happened.
The ground was riddled with cracks spreading from the crater that once held the building barely an hour ago. And the Security Force of the City had long created Prohibition Zones created by ProhibitionPads. At certain areas of the Prohibition Zones that were pure, dangerous and burning plasma, were areas with IdentificationScreens so that only a select few individuals could near the building.
No one had actually been able to go close though, as the Gates, along with the walls had their own self sufficient system. Meaning that before another earth quaking crash, they had no clue or had made nor progress.
CRASHHHHH-RUMMMMMBBBBLEEEE."
In the midst of a cacophony of sound, light, spatial fluctuations and flurries movement dust rose to he skies. But when all was said and done, the building of interest had appeared right back where it had once been.
And at first, it looked like a decrepit and abandoned building. But eventually, a humming sound was heard that preceded the structure gradually restoring itself as if it had an innate talent of regeneration.
Then, the cracks to the ground began healing. Both the ones extending to the road and the ones stretching across the street and big enough to swallow trucks. Eventually, everything regained its pristine look.
When the doors opened, Jason Haon, accompanied by Jillia Haon, stepped out of the building as he approached the cameras
He hen raised his hands as he addressed the crowd and the reporters gathered at the gate. Unlike them, the Security Force scowled at how the Nobles thought the could do whatever they want whenever they wanted.
"I know you have been alarmed but rest assured everything is okay."
The Reporters kept a sharp eye on the Noble and his companion both. This was the same woman that had been rumored to be his consort which had caused fractures in his marriage. But now, he was flaunting her appearance so flippantly.
All media present media was sure to have a growth rate in their viewers.
"A slight issue with the staff but everything has been settled. I would apologizeif there had been a disturbance but…" He glanced at the Security Force who scowled deeper but held their mouths shut.
"… It has been all fixed."
The reporters began throwing all sorts of questions in his face but he had almost walked back into his office when he received a call on his Telewatch.
Directly listening to the speaker without answering he turned around abruptly and announced;
"One question only, time is of the essence."
Amidst the hurricane of words, Jillia Haon effortlessly picked someone up and pulled them into the compound like one would do a toy.
The Fire Fairy stuttered as flames danced from her hair and smoke hid in it to form the outline of it. Her eyes burned bright enough to be catching and her wings beat so quick they seemed invisible.
"Noble Jasin Haon, could you give us a short narration on what happened?"
"I was… cleaning house. Had to make a few adjustments. My… employees needed a little motivation."
"Oh so-"
Jillia Haon threw her back as Jason Haon was already walking back into the building after laughing wildly.
"Hope she landed well, haha!"
"I was careful enough to make sure she was not hurt… too much."
"Oh Jilla Haon, you are the best!"

The young Pixie had woken up because of hunger, her stomach grumbled and she remembered that she had passed out from tiredness.
Kazu Nini woke up into the night and saw Isimaila Fginja who was going through news that she looked to be puzzled about. Kazu Nini ignored it till she heard the word Illjako Enterprises.
Searching her memories, she remembered when she had been captured. She remembered seeing the name amongst the crates that had held explosive content and on the uniform of some people she had battled.
She the walked forward and angled her torso till she was bent over the couch.
"Reporting on what has transpired. Like I said earlier there has been a massive building suddenly uplifted into the sk-"
CRASHHHHH-RUMMMMMBBBBLEEEE."
Whatever Potent Artefact was being used to record the scene of a compound with a crater deep enough for several houses to fit, surroundings with countless cracks originating from the same ruined site and the crowded scene with Security Force and Media Personal had a ruined viewing as the camera's view shook and was not clear for a full 10 minutes.
"We are streaming live to record…what is that? So much dust in he air." The whisper was one of many. "Oh, is that… The building?"
When the dust settled, a building that was mainly black with white lines. Some windows were blue and there was a rooftop. Although, the ruin took the focus of those things away.
However, the building that was in a state of shambles, began rearranging and fixing itself until up above the roof to that had a gazebo and a mini golf course with a bar, there eas a sign that flashed for a minute before disappearing for he same amount of time in an endless cycle.

Now, Kazu Nini was 100% sure that the perpetrator was Maki Nini.
But why were things repairing themselves?
Was she unlucky in he end or was this a cover up?
She saw the surroundings fix themselves after the building and then Reporters coming out of different hiding places such as space, air, the ground and even a spark of fire that grew o reveal a Fire Fairy.
Then, a man came out of he building and every one of the Media Personnel clamored over to the gate, bypassing several Security Force.
Kazu Nini's face unconsciously clenched as a frown deepened.
The man on the screen had hair to the small of his back. His black trench cover over a red shirt and trouser that had precious stones like his navy blue shoes.
Should she be worried?
Should it not be Mako Nini coming out of that building?
"I know you have been alarmed but rest assured everything is okay."
The woman beside him instantly let her know he was a Sprite. Her likeness to him was too uncanny for there to be no doubts. Something about her instincts told her that but she did not care too much about it.
"A slight issue with the staff but everything has been settled. I would apologize if there had been a disturbance but…" His eyes held pride that he threw about like a shower head. "… It has been all fixed."
She watched his arrogant dismissal of the crowd.
She watched him stop and speak to his Telewatch.
Then, she watched him twirl around with a slightly annoyed expression on his face.
"One question only, time is of the essence."
Glancing about, in a quick search you could see the disgust in his face as though he only saw trash before him.
His partner, however, was not so indecisive and she rudely snatched someone rim the crowd.
"Noble Jason Haon, could you give us a short narration on what happened?" The Fire Fairy looked like she wanted to pounce on him.
"I was… cleaning house. Had to make a few adjustments. My… employees needed a little motivation."
"Oh so-" her face had brightened at his response but his companion tossed her back into the crowd of people before disappearing into his building.
"So, streaming live," the Fire Fairy was blushing from her face to her chest even though she had jus been maltreated. "We will give you updates on anything new. Have a good night."
The Goblin had been happy that her Boss had approached her and was hoping that she was not actually fired.[1.]
Kazu Nini was frowning hard and Isimaila Fginja thought it prudent not to disturb. So, she began cooking to lift the Pixie's dark mood

"When your done, just open the door." Kazi Nini eyed the Goblin. "Make it a lot, I am starved."
"Sure thing! Sure thing!"

"I need to cultivate!"
