The Paris Opera House [Original]

"You know the way out." The Dark Gunner replied.

"I hope the next time we meet it will be under better circumstances." Vincent said bowing as well.
 
"Same here." Vent responds.

He and Nanashi leave the house and head on their way.
 
Jacen, Aquario, and Magiana arrived on the streets nearing the Pairs Opera House.

"Let me ask you all, have you ever been inside the Paris Catacombs?" Jacen asked the two behind him.
 
"I have not." Aquario said sternly. "I have read about the catacombs... Walls layered with countless bones of the dead. Such a fascinating idea if not barbaric... I do know it is rather easy to get lost in the Catacombs thanks to countless dead ends and maze-like wall structure."
 
"We have to go in some place like that?..." Magiana's face paled immediately. "Wh-why? Can't we jjust go around...?"
 
"I was actually thinking..." Jacen said. He smirked drawing his sword as a dark misma flowed out of him and seeped into the ground. He started to crackle as nine skeletons disloged themselves from the walls and reformed, starting to crawl their way up to the streets.

"Do not worry my friends, I am only going to cause a distraction to assist us... After all, the Meeting has a, hatred, for undead."
 
"I see you control the dead?" Aquario scratched his chin and fixed his glasses. He watched the skeletons form and assemble before them. "This is rather interesting. I've yet to see a necromancer. If the enemy hates the undead, might as well summon a couple more."

Aquario glanced at Magiana and narrowed his eyes. 

"I thought you said you were brave? What happened to that enthusiasm?"
 
"W-well, for starters, I would rather not go in a dark and creepy place like the catacombs!" Magiana retorted, red in the face from embarrassment. "Not like I've been in one before either..."

"I wouldn't like... skeletons moving around me either."
 
Jacen watched as they wandered around mindlessly.

"Sadly I can only raise, not control. As such these will only give us a momentary distraction. You all shall walk into the Opera House that serves as the base of my friend's captors while I sneak in another way. They will be looking for me."
 
"Alright, consider it done." Aquario said sternly. "We will enter the front of the place and, hopefully, be a little bit of a distraction for you to rescue your friend." 

Aquario nodded to Magiana. "You will aid me. Put aside your fear and bring up your confidence. Skeletons will be the least of your worries in this situation. Lives are at stake and you're going to let some pile of bones scare you?"
