Rose Rose watched the events unfold, listening to Angel and Shela, and as the archers and warlocks got into position, and the knights prepared for the invasion, as they finished talking, Rose noticed the dragon hunters arriving at the gate of the village, Rose turned to Angel and Shela. "Don't have time to talk right now, the battle is about to start." Then Rose listened to Rogue then let out a little laugh. "Come and get me bitch." Soon after the battle had started. The archers shot some lightning and ice charged arrows into the storm somebody created. These arrows moved the thunder clouds back over to where most of the phoenix's were while the knights grew wings and took to the skies. This time they were armed with a shield in the left hand, a wand in the right and a sheathed sword. They set up a defensive formation in between the thunder clouds and the village, ready to attack anyone that moved towards the village. While in their defensive position, the knights shot off powerful array of spells including ice spikes, lightning bolts, fire blasts, as well as casting earth spells. Lightning and ice blasts were directed at the phoenix's, lighting fire, and ice blasts were directed at the dragon hunters, the earth spells caused a earthquake under he dragon hunter's feet and as large stone spikes came out the ground, impaling dragon hunters, in some areas the earth even tore open swollowing up groups of dragon hunters. As they did the storm began to rage out of control. Suddenly powerful lightning bolts began striking everything under the storm, thousands of lightning bolts were being shot out every second, striking randomly. While the lightning was striking randomly, hail stones the size of footballs began raining down, The hail stones fell like rain. While this was happening, Rose drew her sword and stared into Rogue's eyes. "I thought you were going to kill me, So what are you waiting for, are you having second thoughts or something?" Twilight As Twilight watched the events unfold, Twilight saw Tyson get defeated by Mordred, she knew he wasn't dead, yet. She's seen that kind of black magic before. As long as Tyson got his heart back, then he was fine. She quickly casted a teleportation spell on the heart, as a purple orb formed around it and Mordred's hand. With a small flash of purple light, Mordred's hand was teleported in Twilight's while still holding Tyson's heart. She pulled Tyson's heart out of Mordred's hand and threw it in the air, she then cast another teleportation spell on the heart and as the sphere formed around it, and the light flashed, it reappeared in Tyson's chest. Then Candy transformed and teleported group one in front of the temple gates. Once there, she heard somebody talk to them from behind them. She had a bad feeling about him, so she attempted to read his mind, but she wasn't able to. Something was blocking her. She then looked back to the others about to warn them when she noticed that Skyro's corruption was spreading just as fast here as it was when the village was surround by multiple armies of people and creatures full of negative emotions. She knew this could only mean one thing, she set up a magic mind link between her, and everyone except Sekhemi, Rumple and Thundra. She also put up a powerful magic barrier, protecting their minds to stop others from reading their minds. 'Don't be alarmed, I have set up a magic mind link between everyone except Sekhemi, Rumple and Thundra. There is something off about this guy, I knew it the moment I saw him, so I tried to read his mind, but he is blocking me. I have now realized the reason I distrusted him was because of the sheer amount of darkness in his heart. I realized this because I noticed Skyro's corruption just as fast here as it was in the village. We need to hurry. We are running our of time.' Hayate, Scarlet and Casper Casper saw Mordred defeat Tyson, he also saw Twilight save him, Casper flew down to Tyson and slapped him across his face to wake him up. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Sleeping in the middle of a war zone? How many times do I have to tell you about lying on the job, get up and held defend the village. Leave Mordred to me." Casper knew it may take a while to defeat Mordred and he couldn't leave his army without a leader, but unfortunately, nobody under his command have the necessary battle experience to lead an army. He didn't like it, but he knew there was only one person who wasn't already too busy, had the necessary experience, and who was strong enough not only fight only fight on the front line but command from them. He looked up to Scarlet as he shouted. "Scarlet, I am giving you temporary command of my army." Scarlet heard this and although she didn't like being put in command of an unfamiliar army, she knew she was the only one for the job. She nodded to Casper and agreed. While on route to the village, Blade flew over to Hayate to give his report, she smiled, this was going to be entertaining. She looked to Blade, "We don't need to achieve victory, our primary goal is to steal the hearts of phoenix's as possible so we can acquire their power for our army and use it to wipe out the pheonix's and dragons, when we wipe out those vermin, doesn't really matter. It is only a matter of time anyway but I don't believe that will be a problem, there is around twenty five thousand people slaughtering each other, we have an army of six thousand. All we have to do is pick of the phoenix's first while everyone is fighting each other, feast on their hearts and turn that power on the dragons. Once those vermin are wiped out, we can leave the rest of the fools kill each other." Once Hayate and her army arrived at the village she saw how intense the battle had gotten. The griffins flew at the phoenix's and prepared to launch an attack. Casper then noticed the griffin army had finally arrived. He looked back to Scarlet and shouted. "I need you to take care of the griffins." With that Scarlet and Casper's army flew high into the air as the griffins flew at the phoenix's, they then turned around and dived bombed, the beasts the tamer's were riding began shooting out an array of elemental attacks at the backs of the griffins. As a few dozen girffins were shot down, Hayate ordered the army to disperse and as the beast tamer's reached the same altitude of the griffins, Scarlet ordered the beast riders to form five man teams and hunt down the griffins although she didn't think they needed to much hunting as they likely come back for a counter attack and sure enough, the griffins regrouped and charged at the beast tamer's. They all used storm call, and created a second storm above the beast tamer's, as lightning rained down on them, Scarlet cast a powerful water spell, and created a large water wall that acted like a barrier between the beast tamer's and the lightning cloud. As the lightning hit the water, the water became electrically charged, and the more lightning that hit it, the more deadly it became. She then began shooting off a barrage of water balls the size of golf balls, Each one with the power of two or three lightning bolts at the griffins. Spike Spike was in the village and he saw how intense the battle was getting even though it had just started. He flew out the barrier, and went to join the battle. He was going to go after the dragon hunters but considering the leader and second in command were already fighting, and the great and honourable Spike would do something as dishonourable as ganging up on someone, he decided to go after the griffin's second in command, Blade. He flew at Blade and fired an ice beam at his wings. Storm Storm listened to Crystalline and nodded as she flew away. She took one look at the battlefield, and could already see the dragon army would deal with the majority with the phoenix's. The beast tamer's were dealing with the griffins, the warlocks were focusing on defence, but nobody was dealing with the dragon hunter army. Although a number of people have attacked their commanders. She knew for them to have their best chance at winning this war, somebody had to deal with the dragon hunter's army, but nobody was attacking Snow yet, and if they didn't free the winter phoenix queen from her necklace, they had no chance of winning. She didn't like it but she had to split up from the rest of the phoenix's, she turned to the army, "I am going to free Winter from Snow's necklace, I need you to deal with the Dragon Hunter's forces. Don't worry I will be giving you direction during my battle with Snow." With that, Storm flew at Snow, she didn't have to worry about the storm clouds at all, because a hail stone would do nothing to a winter phoenix, and with her energy constructs, she could form a shield to protect herself from the lightning, or convert the electricity into a form a energy more completable with her energy constructs and use it to increase the power of her attacks. As the hail stones bounced off Storm, and the lightning increased the power of her constructs, she created two arms as well as two Gatling guns on her shoulders. Connected to a jetpack on her back to increase speed. She also created basic armour and formed it around her. Her Gatling guns began firing powerful energy blasts at Snow as she charged in for an attack while the winter phoenix army dived bombed the dragon hunters, shooting ice blasts at the feet. Ifrit and Rose As Ifrit watched the events unfold, listening to Brick, Ifrit looked around the battlefield, he was smiling like a child at Christmas, as soon as he saw Rogue, he charged in at full speed ahead of Ragnarok, he jumped into the air and as spikes covered his body, he curled up into a ball and began spinning at incredible speed and headed right for Rogue like a cannon ball, Rose saw this attack coming and simply held out her left hand towards Ifrit, stopping him in mid air, "Do not interfere with my duel. I do not need nor want you help." She then pushed her hand forward and sent him flying towards the dragon hunter army spinning just as fast as before. Kosuke and Storm Kosuke saw storm heading for Snow, and even though he was some trouble dodging the lighting and hail stones, there was no way Kosuke was going to let anyone else kill Storm, while charging. He created two arms as well as two Gatling guns on her shoulders. Connected to a jetpack on his back to increase speed. He also created basic armour and formed it around him. He had taken a few hits from the lightning and hail but his energy barrier protected him. The lighting just made his constructs stronger. Kosuke fired a powerful fire blast out of her mouth while his gatling guns fired at Storm, Storm saw Kosuke coming, and simply created an energy cannon on her back in between the gatling guns, the base of the cannon was mounted on the jetpack. She simply charged up and fired a powerful energy beam at Kosuke. The fire blast and energy beam collided created a huge explosion, and while the two were temporary blinded by the flash of light, Storm simply fired the cannon again, shooting Kosuke out the sky. Once the flash was gone, she opened her eyes and continued her charge at Snow. Himani Hinami listened to everyone and agreed and grabbed the mask. She put it on and decided to go on ahead. She used her darkness manipulation and sunk into the shadows. She came out of the shadow of one of the trees near the village. The large forest fire didn't bother her with her bio energy force field this level of fire was nothing. She identified her target and even noticed another phoenix attacking her, that would makes things a lot easier. Hinami released her kagune, she flagged her winged like kagune, and took to the skies. The red eyes in the centre of the wings began to glow as she shot out two powerful red lasers aiming for her necklace. Mace, Hayate and Scarlet As Mace watched the events unfold, he laughed at the dragon tamer's pitiful attempt of an attack, although he was a little impressed when they used their own attack against them, and as usual, Mace decided to charge in before everyone else. He used his carbon manipulation to form diamond armour around him. This also turned his wings and tail into razor sharp blazes, as he flew through the dragon tamer's ranks, he used his claws, wings and tail to shred the wings and slit the throats of his enemies whenever he had chance. Once in the centre, Mace began to glow. He was using his energy manipulation and creating a large amount of energy and focusing it through the diamond that covered his body. Suddenly a powerful energy beam fired out of him in all directions, shooting down dozens of beast tamer's, in less than a minute, Mace had just killed thirty beast tamer's and their pets, injuring another fourteen. Seeing this, Scarlet knew she had to take out Mace as soon as possible but now the enemy had inflated their ranks, she no longer would be able to maintain the water shield so she casted a powerful weather spell, and shot it into the storm clouds, and as the storm disappeared, she undid the barrier. She then charged at Mace but Hayate intercepted. Hayate flew in front of Scarlet he used his density manipulation to increase his size and durability but decrease his weight. He then simply flapped his wings and shot out a barrage of feathers at Scarlet, but these weren't ordinary feathers, they were hard and sharp as diamond, and charged with ice magic. Not only would they tear through their target, they would begin to freeze it as well. Scarlet simply created an energy shockwave that knocked the feathers out the air. It was clear she would have to defeat Hayate before stopping Mace. Gantu Gantu could sense the immense amount of power coming from the village, it was obvious a large battle going on, with a number of extremely powerful opponents, he picked up his seashell and began to speak, knowing Reptile's seashell would receive the message. "Reptile, there seems to be a large scale battle going on near your location, I want you to check it out and find out if the battle or anyone involved in it to our kingdom." Katerina As Katerina watched the events unfold and listened to her leaders while marching towards the village, she saw Rose stand up to and disrespect Rogue, she knew Rose was as good as dead, She then looked over to Drayko and she saw he was out numbered so she decided to lend a hand. She drew her two bladed tonfas, she focused bio energy in her feet, and as she jumped at Sakura, she released the energy and shot off like a rocket. She also focused some bio energy into the spike part of her tonfas, and as she flew at Sakura like a rocket, she simply went to punch her with the tonfa in her right hand and if she missed she was ready to spin around and slash her with the blade part of the tonfa in her left hand.
