Jasher was suspicious that this was just a ruse to ambush a few Guardians. He stayed in camouflage and stepped soundlessly over to a wall near them.

James didn't say anything, but he noticed Jasher go invisible. He nodded and moved forward.
-
He stood still. ((He was camouflaged before, but okay.))
-
They moved forward silently. (( Sensory skills on point bro. ))
-
"Fine. You got me." He appeared a ways away from where they were looking. ((Whatever.))
-
(( I didn't say you had to reveal yourself! We're on the same side!)) They didn't really care, so they kept up the pace until they reached the end of the street.
-
"Wow. So much for a welcome..." He went after them. ((Explain it next time!!))
-
(( I figured it was self-explanatory! )) They waited at the end of the block for him to catch up.
-
"So. What're we doing again? A Dark something or other?"
-
James," Dark Guardian. A pretty nasty one at that."
-
"Oh. Great."
-
James," Don't need to be here if you don't want to."
-
"Might as well. Haven't had any action in a while."
-
"You and me both. Until that crash of mine, of course. That's almost too much action for me actually" Switch-5 nodded in greeting to the fellow guardian.
-
" Very well."
-
"So...we goin' or what?"
-
Lakir," We were waiting on you to catch up." With that, they started moving again.

[spoiler]apologies for the late reply. I was showering.[/spoiler] "So... Why now? Why choose now to go after Aries? And are you guys even sure you can take him? Last time we all met together, there were a lot more of us and he still got away. Admittedly, half of everyone there also turned out to be dark guardians, but still..."
-
James," It's now or never. And we have become more powerful than last time. Aries has to go. Now."
-
"Glad to hear it. Do we know his location? I know it's this city, thanks to the dark storm, but do we know any specifics?"
-
James," Aries has been in this city before. In fact, it holds a significant part into his fall from the Light. I can only think of one spot he would be."
-
"Good. Some progress at least..." Switch blinked up on top of a large rubbled pile of concrete, weathered trees silently erupting from the crevices between. Speciation was unfolding everywhere he looked. "You guys lead. We follow"
-
James nodded. " We'll be sprinting it from now on." He led the way, at a fast pace.
-
"Got it" He descended from the rubble and followed behind the others in quick pursuit, their boots kicking up the age-old lingering dust as they traversed the derelict streets.
-
After what seemed like thirty minutes, they reached the centre of the city. Here the Dark storm was even worse. The air here was stale and dead. Decay was spreading all around. Straight ahead, a courtyard stood, overlooking the river that cut through the city. In this courtyard, a lone figure stood, overlooking the river. James, Lake, Lakir and the rest get in positions covering the entrance to the courtyard, so the only way out was through them or the river. Aries noticed them coming as they entered the city. He had wondered how long the peace would last. Long enough, it seemed. Without showing much interest, he turned around to face the Guardians in front of him. Aries," So...... Who's going to die first?"
-
"Expecting us?" Staring Aries down, Switch slowly split himself from the group on a surrounding fashion to reduce the number of exits open to the dark guardian standing before him.
