Ashkii took Layla into a safer area than where the others were at. She couldn't risk her best friend getting hurt. Wait where's Shade? She thought looking out the window of the random house she had taken Layla into.

Crystal's hands up to her elbows engulfed themselves in flames.

Shade started to walk ahead and couldn't pick up their scents" well..as long as they all ok. Maybe frosch is with them.." He kept walking ahead

When Ander got to the gate, he could see people laying out all over the place. He was sure that they weren't dead, but something was definitely going on here. His large crystal came out from it's sheath and split in half. The two pieces then lowered themselves down the the ground as he stepped onto them. He noticed that Shade was coming this way as well. Although he stayed long enough to make sure nothing attacked him in his sleep, he didn't really want to talk to him, or anyone for that matter. Talking to people....it just seemed to make matters worse for him normally. He went to leave before Shade could say anything to him, trying to skate into the air so he could leave the matter behind him and figure out what was going on.

(ooc: He doesn't know Shade's name, but I figured it would be easier to say his name outside of him talking instead of "the boy from earlier" or anything like that.)

In a matter of minutes, multiple things happen at once. First, Leon does as Morgan asks and releases the two grunts from the spell. Unfortunately for them, they both simply fall to the floor unconscious. Second, the remaining grunt of the trio begins trying to back up slightly, afraid that he may be next. His fears are confirmed once he sees that Leon has begun advancing toward him. "You and your dark guild have messed with my family for far too long...unless you want to end up like your comrades, I suggest you start telling me where the caster of this mass sleep spell is located." The grunt keeps moving backwards until he backs himself up against a wall. "A-Are they dead..?" He asks fearfully. Leon grabs the grunt by the collar of his shirt, holding him up. "No..but you can be unless you start talking." He responds, looking at him with his piercing red eyes.

---

Morgan was shocked by what her uncle was saying and doing. She'd never seen him so angry before...well, at least angry enough to where he'd threaten someone with death. She was slightly scared of him herself. "They called him a killer...uncle, just what have you done while I've been away..?" She thinks to herself.

Red looked over the bad guys as he stepped towards them but still remaining behind leon with his fist clenched and his face darkened by his red hat. They were clearly afraid of leon and he was glad that they were, that way they could save magic and still get some answers if his luck was good. Morgan seemed a bit out of place next to leon though still another fairytail member was great, they needed all the help they could muster. Making sure not to move to much or talk he scanned her and the crowd, the three of them could take on the group for sure though it would be draining to say the least.

Crystal stared right at the dark guild members. Her blue eyes were filled with anger.

Shade felt someone near by and turned his back, he looked foward, not seeing anyone. After a shrug , shade kept moving and sighed

"A-Alright, I'll talk! They're probably at your guild by now...the master wanted them to search for something...that's all I know! I swear!" The remaining grunt exclaims, practically begging for his life. Leon sets him down on the ground, but doesn't let go of his collar just yet. "Thank you..now, just be sure to not tell anyone about your encounter with us, or else, I'll find you again. I know you don't want that." The grunt nods in understanding and flees the scene once Leon lets go of his collar. Then, seeming as if everything that just occurred never happened, Leon turns around and properly greets his niece with a hug. "It's very good to see you, Morgan." He says.

---

Morgan returns the hug, relieved to see that Leon was back to his usual, calm self. "It seems like I got here at a good time." She then breaks away from her uncle and smiles at the others. "Hello! The name's Morgan. Um, does someone mind telling me what's been going on lately? It seems like some sort of dark guild invasion has been happening." She states.

Paige quickly ran through town toward the guild. Something seriously wasn't right, she needed to see if the guild wizards were affected as well. When she flew open the doors, what she saw extremely surprised her.

"What the freaking hell?" She yelled out in a loud and startling voice.

(Is everyone allowed to control the villains or is it just you, shadowvenus? :)

((Villains are open to all to control))

"I know about as much as you do Morgan." Crystal said with a slight shrug

Morgan rubbed the back of her head out of slight embarrassment. "Heh, you're right about that one, Crystal. Oh, and thanks for sending up the flare. I might not have found you guys if it weren't for you." She says with a smile.

(Curses! I almost fooled you into thinking only I could control them! Lol, jk. I can't wait to see what villain crosses our path next! ^^)

Caitlin noticed two things upon entering town, the first was that it was quieter than usual and the second was the wonderful weather Magnolia was currently experiencing. Yes she missed the sleeping bodies and the overall strangeness of the situation, save the lack of noise. However as she ventured farther into town she felt watched, then followed and even a little bit hunted. It was worrying but she maintained a calm act. She got closer and closer to the guild and all the while more alarmed, eventually she couldn't calm herself any more. "Is someone there?" Caitlin called out while glancing in all directions looking for her stalker.

Ander leisurely skated through the air, his hands in his pockets. He had the hood of his muffler up, concealing most of his face. He kept at a height that was just over the rooftops, not wanting to cause too much of a stir from being high up. Although everything seemed to be in disarray, Ander decided to stay for a couple days to see if he could find what he was looking for. He went down to the ground outside of an inn he planned on staying in.

"OI! There's another one, he's awake too!" Ander heard from behind him. He turned to see two mages running toward him magic ready, they stopped as soon as they realized him staring at them and not reacting.

"What, lost your nerve? My, my, you'll have to do better than that." Ander taunted. All the while, two small crystals, one blue, the other red, floated around him and finally set in a crest on his chest. Taken aback, the two mages started to rush toward him again. "Suicidal type, eh?" Ander said under his breath as a large cloud of steam seemed to explode from him. Nothing could bee seen through the cloud that instantly consumed the street, but the ominus screams of pain rang clear. When the steam cleared one of the two mages were on the ground unmoving, while the other was still standing looking for his enemy.

"Behind you." Ander said flatly. The dark guild mage spun around in terror, never knowing he was there. "You may want to get your buddy out of here while you still can." He suggested. Instead, Ander was promptly told where he could go as the mage raised his hands to cast magic at him. oddly enough, nothing came out. The man paniced as he couldn't use his magic and then looked back up at Ander noticing something new orbiting him, a yellow crystal.

"Interesting," Ander started, "you know I've actually been looking for one like this." As he finished his sentence the red crystal came out of the crest on Ander's chest and was replaced by the yellow one. At once he felt a surge of energy, electric energy. "I should thank you," he said as he unleashed a few lightning strikes from his hand, blasting into the enemy mage. Ander then walked over to the man's unconscious body. "I think I'll hold on to this one for a while." he stated, tapping the yellow crystal.

Shade called out for frosch , but didn't get an answer ." I really hope he's ok. Dad is going to be upset if he find out." He started to walk through Mongolia . Hopefully he was somewhere in the streets. After hearing a female voice calling , shade stopped and could smell the girl near by

Ander brushed himself off and looked around. Putting what the mage said before attacking and all the people asleep in the area, he guessed that it was their doing. With a sigh, he decided that he should probably get to the bottom of this and arrest whoever is responsible. He then smirked, he may even find this person's magic to be useful, then he stopped. Unless it was a dragon slayer... then it wouldn't do him any good at all.

Before Paige had time to react, a crystal ball was thrown at her stomach, sending her flying back several feet.

"She's mine." A voice hissed. All surrounding the guild hall were various creepy looking people. However in the middle of them were four wizards, Paige could smell it off them. They were obviously the ones in charge. One was a girl with shiny blonde hair, now holding the crystal ball that had just hit her. She definitely was going to pay for that. Paige slowly stood back up.

"I don't know who invited you into our guild, but you sure as hell aren't staying. I hope you know who your dealing with" She spoke while smirking and cracking her knuckles, a habit she picked up from Natsu. Paige loved a challenge and was actually excited to fight. "I'm all fired up!" She exclaimed. (Sorry I had to say it XDD)

Crystal caught her sisters scent. "You guys can hold your own. I need to find my sister." She said and she sprinted off following her sister's scent. Her pink hair trailing out behind her as she ran.

Caitlin had almost resumed walking when a sword went flying by her head. She sighed, "Don't be a fool, this isn't a battle you can win." She didn't have to even turn around, she knew it was a dark mage. The mage simply laughed, "You think you're some hotshot huh?" He sent another blade after her, which she dodged. "I really don't appreciate being used for target practice." The air around her crackled a bit and the man fell over, temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. He began to panic as he found he could not move most of his body. "Now tell be what's going on here before I make it permanent." It was an empty threat but the risk for him to guess she was bluffing was too great. He really clarified things for her. "So everyone is asleep, I hadn't noticed. It makes sense though." The man simply stared at her in disbelief. She released the spell at which point he immediately ran off. Caitlin had almost resumed her journey when she sensed a powerful magic somewhere near by, it was a rare case for her to sense a persons magic unless she had taken it before, so naturally she was worried. "Hello? Is there any one else awake?"

Shade had found Caitlin and smiled . Thank god that someone was around and wake. The shadow dragon slayer walked towards the girl, his purple eyes ripped through the darkness." I'm up..as you can see. I'm not sure what happened here."

Leon creates a clone of himself and sends it to look near Caitlin's current location, sensing a fair amount of magic in that area. "I'm going after Crystal. Morgan, I'll let you decide on what you do next. I'll be getting a head start, so just follow my scent if you're going to tag along with me. Everyone else, be safe." Leon states before he takes off after Crystal, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

Morgan nods in response to Leon's directions. Now, all she had to do was choose. "Hmm...I think I might go searching for any other missing guild members. That is, unless, you need my help here?" Morgan asks Ashkii. She decided to consult her about it before she went and did her own thing.
