Ken hurriedly began getting Rin out of there. He practically carried her out of the alleyway and down the street. He was barely thinking straight and trying not to let panic set in. He had to keep it together for Rin, who was so injured that she was coughing up blood. When they reached his house, he hurriedly got her upstairs and laid her down on his bed. Pulling himself together as best he could, Ken did a quick sweep of her body and determined that she had only very minor bruises externally.
The real concern was how damaged she was internally. He wiped her mouth with a paper towel but couldn't gauge if there was internal bleeding or not. The Time Master who attacked them said something about absorbing Time Crystals from her blood, but he didn't know more than that. Ken gave Rin water in small sips, hoping it would help her recover. With any luck, she would be fine after some rest. If not, he would have to take her to the hospital.

Alex glared at Ezio as Ken and Rin made a run for it. He was absolutely furious. Not only had he gotten in the way of taking the ring, but now he was trying to steal the essence of what made them Time Masters. The Time Pocket Watch passed down through his family was little more than a paper weight right now. Alex had never imagined that such power could exist. Although he knew he was up against a powerful enemy, he was too angry to back down now.
He climbed up to the roof and began throwing punches toward Ezio. Unfortunately, his opponent was fast and backed out of the way. Knowing time was ticking down, Ezio opened his Time Hourglass to stun Alex with sudden pain. Having bought himself a moment, he disappeared off of the roof. Alex recovered and rushed to look for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Alex grimaced in anger, knowing that Ezio's appearance had complicated things a great deal.
