Xavier blinked as the girl began whistling, only to feel himself become less tired all off the sudden. 'Huh, musical healing magic, we could definitely use that here. I wonder what else she can do with that magic.' Xavier did a stretch as he felt the last of his aches and pains fly away, he'd almost forgot what it was like to not be tired. "Glad to meet you Reina, and I am know thanks to you. I was just tired is all, been trying to work on this move for the last three days, haven't got it down yet, but I'm getting there." Xavier gave her a smile, before taking a look at the party behind him. "Well, I'd say things are a bit too hectic to ask right now, even if you were. So, did you come here to ask what it's like or just to see if guild life is for you. If you want, I can show you around?" Xavier asked, holding out his hand for her to take it, if she wanted. 'Oh my, what a gentlemen, but I'm afraid poor Caroline is going to be quite vexed. Oh wait, no she won't, cause she doesn't notice you.' Xavier's brow twitched ever so slightly, it was barely noticeable, It did so again when a beautiful woman seemed to phase into existence behind Reina, putting her arms around the girl and pointing a seductive smile at Xavier. Reina wouldn't notice the woman, because she wasn't there, it was all in his head and Xavier was doing a damn good job of pretending he didn't see it, which made sense. He'd had lots of practice ignoring things going on that only he noticed, though seeing her was something that had happened after he came back from Magnolia. She was a tall woman, with long purple hair and mischievous red eyes, the sclera being black as night. She had no other features, and she wore a simple black gown that was rather form-fitting. 'I think you should go for this one, my lord, it's much more likely to happen.' 'I don't remember asking your advice on the matter of my love life.' Cassandra only smiled as she released Reina and seemed to float over to him, pressing herself against him as she whispered into his ears. 'You don't have to my prince, I do it of my own accord, because no matter what I care for you, and you're to young to suffer from a broken heart.' Xavier didn't respond, and Cassandra didn't leave, moving so that she was positioned behind Xavier, her head on his shoulder and her chest pressed against his back. 'Why,' Xavier asked in his mind, 'Why is it that I can see you now, that I can touch, I can smell you. Am I going crazy or something?' 'No my prince, you are just getting closer to reaching your true potential.' 'What happens when I do reach it?' 'You stop being a prince, and you start being a king.' Aiden smirked, raising his hand to show 3 fingers. "Training in harsh climate, been there, Hunting for Food and water, easy, training till possible death, done that. You just explained my entire childhood and adolesence living under Chronos, so I think I'm entitled to say bring it ooooooooonnnnnnnn, hey wait a minute Oriel, Dammit, I was being halfway cool for a second, no pun intended." Aiden cursed as he was dragged to the train station by his partner. 'At least she's excited about it, hough i think I've just earned myself a massive alcohol debt by the end of this. Oh well, not like I'm going to use most of the money I make anyway.' Chuckling to himself at her enthusiasm, he dug in his heels and tried to hold her back a bit. "Um, Oriel Chan, do you even have any idea where we're going and which train to get on?" He asked, wondering if she'd mind him adding the suffix to her name.

The counter attack was quick and decisive, Obinari's sleek and elegant blade had been ripped from its sheathe in the blink of a eye, eight silver slashes had been delivered towards the approaching demon in defense of Yunin. Now that the man was closer, he sensed a bit of humanity inside as well, conflicting in a harmonious way with the demonic presence. His sharp gaze fell onto the tall man. “Change of plans, Lu. This thing is more fitted to fight me instead.” The moment those words had left his mouth, dark lines of material rained down to the ground. The dark hydras that had surrounded them were all cut up and useless. “Nice to meet you, Monster. Say hello to Mythal,” he uttered, raising the once again sheathed blade. Yunin almost doubled over with laughter. “Must suck to be up against, Obi. You see he's a special case, very special. The guy can practically predict the future, he can see the time line of a person's past just by looking at em. And in doing that predict what you'd do in the next few moments. I thought it was load of shit at first but come to find out, the magic around a person is very intimately tied in with your soul.” Rubbing his head, Yunin pointed towards Nathan, all hints of a smile off his face. “He's flying? Can that guy fly, Obi?” “I don't have the luxury of looking away from this guy, Yunin. Why don't you find out yourself,” he bantered. “Fine. Don't take too long with these guys. You all have permission to soar high today! .” Renji responded with a wild storm of aura, tails of great blue wind whipping the air but seemingly not affecting the others. “Right, Boss!” And with that said he through his fist into the earth, cratering the area in a instant and forcing everyone to separate. He knew who he was going after and who the others were too. They wouldn't be able to get away from them. Off to the coast of the island, Yunin floated in the air with Nathan, a smirk on his face and arms crossed over his chest; Obinari held his blade: Mythal in his hand near the crater, his sharp eyes locked towards Revan; and Renji sat down on a rock to the far west, prepared for whoever was left and wanting to test their strength. It appeared none of them were interested in actually finding out why they were there. Lu hid behind the giant like usual, legs quivering. “The mind of a leader is the mind of a visionary. A visionary sees through the farce and looks for the answers behind the mask. Why are we here? That should be the question coming from your mouths. Not these mindless counterattacks,” lectured Renji as he raised off the boulder; Lu followed in his shadow and nodded. Sable placed his hand on his head, crimson strands fell between his fingers. "I could care little to nothing about your past. But Natsu Dragneel, yea, that guy... I want to know more about him. Tell me anything and everything you can, I want to know where he is now and w-why he doesn't have this anymore," he said, pulling at the porcelain scarf. Though his expression was strained, it was obvious his curiosity had delved into a need.

He's totally like him, similar attitudes and all that. "I hate to be honest but I am always truthful to what I say and do like when I don't like something, I will say it and I'm going to tell you bluntly.I killed him. How you got the scarf, I dunno but take it as it is. He reveals the truth to Sable. And because of E.N.D that is. "......" He coldly states, then he looks at the door. "Aren't you gonna come in?" He said. "Idiots..I'm rooting for my team, make it more interesting and I'll take on the four of you." Brad's magic presence is overwhelming, filled with fortification magic, he carries the boulder singlehandedly with his hand and throw it right into the guy with a pompadour hair and pretty boy's direction. (No contact yet) "Yeah... Yeah.. Yeah... I know. He's not one of us anymore. Oh... that's right. Vanu, you got a job to do, kill Julian Aqueon. I got enough traitors shitting on everyone's food. "Okay, enough. You're better at sweet drinks. I don't wanna get fat. Speaking of which, I found this special mask on a request board. It is a puppet piece maybe it can help you with your puppet stuff. Seems fishy; Akira did a research about the nine demon masks, and this mask looks familiar. Why don't we team up? Hmm... where's your peeping tom friend?" She asks Yuu.

Caroline Caroline paused when Gray called her out. Turning slowly on the spot, she let the door swing closed behind her. "Oh, so now you notice me? The first time in four years you've seen me, and that's all you have to say to me, Uncle?" Trisana Trisana pushed herself to her feet, brushing off her knees before holding out a hand for Kyuuten. "Well, Mamba put you to sleep, then he told me you're my new partner, then he left. One of these days he's going to throw us for a loop by doing exactly what we expect him to do." Once Kyuu was upright, she stretched her arms above her head, proudly revealing the guildmark now stamped to her right forearm. "So, if we're partners, why don't we go find a job to do. I haven't had one yet." Nathan Nathan silently stood in mid air, watching the man across from him. He blinked once, and his right eye changed from brown to sky blue, and the next instant he was gone, speeding towards his opponent to deliver a kick straight to his middle. On the ground, his martial arts were deadly, his impressive strength, speed and intelligence honed by a decade of training. In the air, they transformed from deadly to perfect, taking full advantage of his freedom of movement.

Aria Hunterblade

Since the coast of the island wasn't that far away from their camp, Aria could see the attackers through the trees, and that two hadn't anyone to fight with. Brad provoked them by throwing a boulder to them, saying he was supporting his team. "So you won't fight? In that case, I'll take them on then. Sorry Merrian. Seeing them, I think I have the urge to fight now," she told Brad and Merrian respectively , before dashing off towards the pompadour guy and the one behind him. She summoned her twin blades in her hands, preparing for anything they might try.

Bristlebane's ears perked up at the sound of a job. All the time to sleep was nice but he was in the mode for something exiciting. He opened his eyes and saw the two poeple he had overhead discussing a job, Trisana gambled and Kyuuten used star power. Or something. Bristelbane yawned as he pulled his blanket off of him and stuffed it into one of his pockets. "Heeeey." Bristlebane said strechting the word out as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "I wanna go on a job too, can I come with you, pretty please?" he begged, it was way to boring here and everybody was super serious.

The big man said nothing as Oriel and then Aiden expressed their interest, and confidence, in the upcoming training. The two grabbed the tickets and rushed ahead, leaving Ajax in the dust. He let out a sigh. "I think they misunderstood me..." After shaking his head he turned to follow them to the train station. Once he caught up to the two, he tapped them each once on the shoulder. "You might want to conserve your energy," he explained, walking into the station. "The training begins the moment we get off the train." Rather than walking towards the main platform for the trains, Ajax walked over to the ticket booth. The man behind it smiled and was about to give a standard greeting before Ajax held up a hand and stopped him. He pulled out a card from his pocket and held it up to the man. The ticket master appeared confused for a second before nodding and pointing towards a door that said "authorized personnel only." The council member motioned for the two to follow him. After nonchalantly opening the door and walking inside, there was a staircase going down. Once the door closed behind Aiden and Oriel, Ajax spoke up again. "The Council has a network of underground train tracks across Fiore," he began to explain as they descended. "For fast and safe travel for the members. As well, it will serve to keep you two from knowing where we are heading. In case you dissent." At the bottom of the spiral staircase was a small, unimpressive platform with a small train (only having two cars) already waiting. "We will be in the first car."

(Insert Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isw1ZCMK5-g) “Think I can ask a favor of you to grow me some herbs with that?” “Oh, Ms Hana, I feel like I’m dying.” “That was very… punny of you.” 'I wanna die.' Sage inner self as he instantly rose from his seat, Quickly leaving the other 3 as he made to the end of the train carriages 'This is why i don' do well in groups: The clashing of personality, the shitty Humour and unconventional thinking!' "Someone is upset~" Bakuko laughed inside his head "Is Sagey Wagedy going to cry?" 'Drop it' Sage grunted as he entered outside: A small platform was enough for two people, leaning over the rail he took in a deep breath and exhaled 'I'm not liking this one bit at all.' Tasting the fresh air he closed his eye for a moment, clearing out all thought in his head 'Master expects us the cooperate with little incidents: On a order from that, I'll tolerate what-ever comes my way.' He rubbed the black rail before looking onwards to the rolling green pasture. 'It sure is pretty looking at that.' He gazed at the scenery for awhile before deciding to head back. "Honestly: I think Niti was trying to break the ice for all of us, I'll give him points for that: Something i wouldn't have done: Not even for Zeref." "The Green Haired girl?" "Regal, Yet old fashion clothes: She seem the quiet type to me, But that adds the her Cuteness.' Sage commented as he closed the carriage door. "The Last Samurai?" 'Hana-san?' Sage mused for a moment 'Not really comes to mind: She reminds me of Titania according to Wendy.' He heard some girls giggle in the open cabin next to him as he walked. They Looking at him and gave him a smile and a wave, Sage responded with a small bow and a smile of his own, before walking of. "He's a cutie." "I know right?!" 'Don't fall for me, please.' Sage rolled his eye before returning to Bakuko's question "She cute in her own way: But Honestly" 'She feels like she'll get in my way: Sooner or later, It won't be pretty." his face returned to it's cold emotionless. 'But i Guess i'll go with the flow one way or another: For now: Let's try to get along.' Sage smiled a little as he returned back to his GUildmates.

"Not in the slightest. We'll figure something out, though." Still, Oriel couldn't have been more lost since, to be honest, she still didn't really even know whwere the train station was. So, right now, she was just going to walk around town until she could find some kind of building that actually resembled a train station. "Besides, there are like, big fucking trains all 'round the station, right? As long as we find those, I'm pretty sure we'll eventually hit the train station." Luckily for her and her lousy sense of orientation, Ajax wasn't about to let them get lost just like that.

"Is that so? I'm just getting more and more anxious about everything with all you are saying! This is going to be one hell of a trip!" Oriel said, sounding really excited and finally letting go of Aiden. "And besides, I get to spend time with sweetie, so it's pretty much perfect!" Oriel said, letting out a hearty laugh. "Ah, wait right there! I'll get lost if you go too fast, councilguy!" Oriel rushed behind him.

After they finally arrived to their destination, Oriel was impressed by it. But mostly by how lame it looked. "Uwah, one would think the council would be fancier about how they move around, but this is kinda pathetic." It really was lame, considering they were pretty much kind of ruling over Fiore. "I'm driving then!" Oriel announced, after Ajax told them they'd be riding the first car. Of course, it wasn't like she could just drive that thing. She still rushed into the train.

---

Still in her nekomata form, Ivory approached the guy sitting on a rock(Renji), whether or not there was someone else wanting to go against him, Ivory would actually challenge the guy to a one on one match. After arriving to where he was, Ivory turned back to her human form and stood in front of Renji wiht a hand on her waist. "So, may I ask you, really ugly gentleman, what are you doing here, interrupting our time off the guild?" She passed a hand by her hair and made it move around a bit.

"As long as you are reasonable, I'll consider not send you back packing to whichever hole you crawled out from." Ivory glared at him. She half expected he was reasonable, but something deep inside told her that that wasn't going to be the case. He did have a kind of dangerous aura Ivory couldn't explain.

Opening

Arc 3: Mind of the Depraved

The doors of the Vyper Bolt/Harpy Wing flew open from the strength of a desperate man covered in blood. A rumble echoed from the man's intrusive interest as quite a few of the members readied themselves for battle. Everyone was essentially startled and Aran turned with a serious eye for once. The man's sharp breaths broke through the happiness all around and wrought despair almost immediately. "PLEASE! YOU HAVE TO HELP!" He dropped to his knees in exhaustion, blood seeping from an open wound on his chest. The blood seemed to flow faster from the wound causing the man to jerk backwards toward the floor. Before his body could ever touch it, Aran dashed across the room at such a speed that she'd appear invisible to even trained eyes. With a blink of the eye, everyone would see Aran holding the man in her arms, blood spreading across her clothes.

"Please...Augustine Town. Save it. Demons. My......son...and wife......plea---" The man's voice slowly descended into silence as he blacked out. His strength finally given out after relying the message. Man Li made his way over to Aran and the man whilst rubbing his chin. Aran could see the suffering that was in the man's eyes before he blacked out. "He said...Augustine Town. Demons." She looked up at the Master and he nodded. Man Li thought for several minutes before turning around to face the guild.

"Everyone. Prepare yourselves. I would love to wait on Roganoff's request but this is urgent. Anyone willing to go then meet outside the Guild doors in one hour." He looked back at the blonde woman. "Take the man to the nurse. She'll take care of him."

Sairis

"Who the hell are these guys?" Sairis muttered at the four men attacked and divided the group. Sairis wasn't standing for this crap and the one with the pompadour peaked the yougn Ward's interest. The guy emitted a strength on a high level that enticed Sairis. One step brought him into a mad dash. Ivory was in the way but she wouldn't deprive him of this fight. He leapt into the air, pressing his foot against her shoulder. "THANKS FOR THE BOOST!" Sairis yelled to her as he rose higher into the air. Renji looked up to see the boy flying at him. Using the momentum to increase the force of his punch, he came down upon Renji with all of his might. Renji blocked accordingly, his feet digging into the ground as he slid back form the attack.

Renji used his left arm to grab Sairis's wrist and fling him into the ground several feet away. "Well then. You and your friends might make me sweat." Renji joked, gaining his rival's ire. "I'LL SLICE YOUR POMPADOUR ALONG WITH YOUR HEAD OFF!" Sairis bellowed with a great ferocity. He went from a laying position to a running position with little problem. Another punch was blocked by a counter punch, a shockwave of force resonating through the area. AN exchange of blows and technique proved that Renji was far more then meets the eye.

Jumping back a safe distance, Renji extended his hand, a white light gathering from it to create a sword made of aura shaped like a medieval longsword. "Let's see how far you last now." Renji swung the sword, releasing a vibration that was tremendous in power and size, distorting the air and rupturing the earth below.

Revan

Revan chuckled as sized up his opponent. "Thing? Monster? Didn't your mother tell you not to call people names. Quite rude of you, truly, and don't think your little ability scares me. Knowing what your enemy will do is only one part of combat, one that can be easily relied on and taken advantage of." Revan summoned his Blade of Vengeance with a whisper, then moved quickly to attack. He would strike from behind with a strong two-handed slash, but he let out a light whistling tune throughout. From the shadows came three figures of Bulwark armor, these ones being thicker and heavier looking than what he was wearing, and each had a claymore raised to strike at Obi. One from the front, two from the sides. The swordsman would be surrounded from all sides and the strikes were moving rather quickly, though Revan's attack would be faster than his constructs.

Xavier

Xavier eye, fastened to the man as soon as he burst in, widen in fear and rage as soon as he heard the word 'Demon'. Instantly, the one from Magnolia came to mind, drenched in gore and flames by the horrors of his mind, the skull mask stuck in a ghastly grin and his eyes filled with an unholy rage. He shook slightly, from what he didn't know, but when the call for volunteers came up, he was out the door after Aran in seconds, offering Reina a rushed apology.

He waa terrified and enraged in a what that he had never felt before, and it filled him entirely. "I'll go," was all he said, all he trusted himself to say. Anything else. . . and his nerves would fail him.

Aiden

Aiden followed Oriel into the cart at a more sedate pace, taking in his interior as he entered. It was rather comfortable, but not overly so, and had a little fride and freezer for on board refreshments. Aiden opened the freezer and grabbed a few hand fulls of ice, placing them in a bowl of ice he made. He then took a seat, tossing the cubes into his mouth popcorn. "This place must be pretty bad then if we're not allowed to know what it, hmmm, just makes it more intriguing to be honest." Aiden admitted as he reclined into one of the chair.

Kuro was silent after Alec said the news. Julian was indeed a good friend. Why did he have to betray the guild? Yet none of that mattered though.

"I guess you already knew," he said with a psh, "Anything else I need to do?"

His yellow eyes watched Aiden and Oriel rush ahead towards the train. Though the age gap between Ajax and the two Vypers, he was still confused by their excitement and energy. As the councilman approached, the conductor leaned out of the front engine and waved. "Ajax-dono," he greeted. "So these two seem lively enough. Don't let them trash my train." The large man nodded in confirmation before also stepping into the train.

He took a seat separate from Aiden and Oriel. The two wasted no time in making themselves at home. "You two aren't allowed to know the location just yet in case you jump ship," Ajax began to explain. "As you now work for the Council, the punishment for desertion is life in prison or death. Keeping the information from you temporarily makes it easier for me." Though his words were somewhat ominous, his expression remained in the same, emotionless state.

"While we're here, I may as well get to know you two better." Right after he finished speaking, the train began rolling. Unlike the above-ground trains, however, this one began picking up speed rather quickly. In fact it was going very fast, possibly knocking Oriel and Aiden off balance if they didn't brace for the sudden change. The council member crossed his arms over his chest and sweat appeared on his brow. "... I hate trains so much," he muttered before opening his eyes and looking back at the two. "I know you are a Dragon Slayer, but I don't know your partner at all."



The bespectacled sniper was halfway through another bottle of beer when the distraught man rushed through the guild doors and announced the dire situation of Augustine town. Piper quickly finished her drink and jogged over. "Demons again?" she mentioned aloud, bringing her hand up to her chin in contemplation. "Could it be the same ones that ran away the other day?" A look of determination formed on her face and she smashed her fist against her other palm.

"I'm going too. I have a bone to pick with those demons. Nobody runs away from me!" With that declaration made, the somewhat tipsy woman lifted her glasses from her eyes and rested them on her head. With her other hand a magic circle formed and a sniper rifle appeared. After catching it and brandishing it with both hands, a sneer formed on her face. "Let's kill those bastards and make them pay for the damage they've done."



The pink-haired woman seemed pleased that Niti appreciated her joke. She was blissfully unaware of how terrible it was. She didn't even bat an eye when Sage walked away from the group, assuming he had to use the restroom. After putting her hands together on her lap, Hana began speaking. "Actually, most of the S-class mages of Crocus are out of town right now," she said first. "They are all having a fun little vacation, I think. Some kind of camp. I think it's nice they can get together like that."

"But we're going to Crocus to supplement the capital." The smile on her face began to fade as she began talking seriously. "Several days ago there were demon attacks and the person in charge seemed to be baiting Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing. The two guilds aren't at full strength and might not be able to fend another one, so Master Lyon is having us assist in protecting the capitol." With that explanation out of the way, she let out a sigh. "We have to protect the people from Demon's Maw. They're a nasty bunch. I remember them, and if they're actually making a return we will certainly be needed to help Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing."

Caroline

Caroline hesitated at the door at the mention of demons, her hand shaking on the handle. After a moment, she forced herself to calm down and pushed open the door. "Are you coming, Uncle?"

She berated herself as she caught up to the small group. I already let my fear take over before. I'm a guild mage now, I can't just run away when people are in danger. Jogging alongside the group, Caroline looked them over. "Is this everyone?"

Yuuyami

"Of course I am! No one else can beat me in sweets.", the dollmaker proudly boasted, before glancing off to the side, muttering, "Except Suki...". The person in question was sitting off to the side, with an ever increasing pile of strawberry milk cartons on the counter. Although, hearing about the new request, and more importantly, the mask, Yuuyami was intrigued.

"A mask component, huh...sounds like something I definitely need to look into." Saying these words, the girl stood up. "Sure, we can work together for this request. And who might you be referring to as a peeping friend?", while looking around.

Yuuka Gardner of the four seasons.

"It matters not how strong they are nor how numerous we are now a team and as such we have formed bonds it is those bonds that will aid us in the coming battles" Yuuka said while leaning back letting her plant leaf catching cradling her back as she did so still a battle is to be expected so we should at least be prepared. Spinning her parasol on the point she hummed a gentle tune imagining the instruments playing along with her in her mind. Though putting on a front she was worried people could be hurt and while thinking she did not want to fail again like she did in Clover town. "No this time will be different I wont follow their dance they will follow mine" she muttered under her breath.

Th Bluish/Black haired boy nodded at Hana's summary of their mission. he Quickly wrote something on his notepad.

-So in a nutshell, we're to protect the capital of crocus along with it's king and Princess, while that is going on: We're suppose to assist Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing?-

He paused for a second.

-We're going in twos, am i correct?-

As he waited for an answer, Yuuka mention about bonds. his mind traveled back to his beloved Nukodukes, as well as the sky sisters.

'They took me in without saying a word, I am really grateful to them...for being my friends' he lowered his head before hiding his smile. 'I promise i'll make it up to them: How would they feel about taken on a date by a boy who just entered the legal age?' he shook his head, getting his teammates attention.

-It's nothing really, just thinking about what to do when i get back home: I did have a plan...until this happened-

"ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS! THE TRAIN HAS NOW ARRIVED AT CROCUS WESTERN CROSS STATION!"

-Well then, let's head off and start this mission.- Sage wrote before grabbing his belongings and left his team behind, as he left another note flew towards them.

-By the way: There's something i have to do, Don't worry: I'll find you sooner-or-later.

As Suzuzaki left the carriage, he was greeting by a unexpected scene:



'It's raining...' Sage dug out his White coat with Bunny ears out of his bag- A gift by His former childhood friend cousin, Alice Nikiri.

"This looks so cute on you...if only i could see you wear it now, but i have to go now....i don't know when i be back."

-No time reminiscing, i need to see 'her'- quickly running into the crowd despite the attempts of his teammate, Sage took off to see someone who would give him a edge on the impending fight that was about to happen.

"Hehe, I don't know how many times I've heard the 'you'll spend life in prison' ultimatum. I even broke out of a prison once" Oriel said, feeling accomplished. Not the right thing to say in front of a councilman, though. "A-Ah, but it wasn't an 'official' prison! It was more like, the gallows of some dipshit that thought imprisoning little girls would be funny." Oriel said, trying to correct herself. She then turned around and clicked her tongue. "Damn lolicon." She crossed her legs, the skirt she was wearing would show off her panties if it were a little bit shorter.

"Still, it sounds badass. 'Magus Hunter Oriel Assier'. That seems like it could make some people shit their pants." Oriel let out a snicker at the thought of it. She started drifting away in her mind, before Ajax brought her back with his question. What was she like? Well, she was fairly new to the guild, she didn't really expect that Aiden could recite Oriel's life as if he had known her since she was born. She let out a sigh at the thought of it. She didn't really like talking about the past, given that she didn't really rememeber anything, and it gave her a headache even trying to remember anything.

"Well, if you wanna know, just ask. I'm standing right here." She said, though she sounded a bit rude, she didn't mean anything by it. She turned to see him, though she wore a bored expression. "I am a fire mage. If you really wanna know, my magic is an exorcist magic. It's official name is Purging Flames of The Something-or-other, I've never really researched about it, to be honest. I just recently got into the guild, though, so you could say I'm a 'newbie' to this whole deal of comrades and whatnot. I was a solo mercenary until a while ago."

He remained silent, eyes silently rejecting the being in front of him. Before all of this, he was considered a deadly being, one of five mages that were not to be trifled with but here this thing was reprimanding him. He had no words for such a offense only action.

From his magical essence, he saw the sly history of the mix-breed's combative nature. Sneak attacks and overwhelming numbers were all too common, even still, he kept getting a complication in his sight. A dark figure shrouding certain actions.

Lowering his stance, he ripped his blade from its sheathe and sliced through the incoming attacks, rebuffing the demon's blade first before ripping through the remaining targets. Facing Revan, Obinari dropped back into his stance and the sliver of metal against sheathe rung before the peal of its insertion sounded.

“Thank you, Mythal.” A quicksilver slash sent three blighted blades towards Revan, the earth corroded as they carved a path towards him.



A confident smile rested on his face as he stared off at the man in the sky. He knew so little about him and yet his heart was already pounding from the expectations. He rubbed his finger underneath his nose and chuckled. Then the man disappeared from sight, if only for a split second.

When he caught sight of the man again, he was making his way to him through the sky. Spectacular, he applauded to himself.

He ascended just a bit, just enough for the leg to hit the air below him instead. Then as perfectly as the male below him had, Yunin spun and shot forth both his feet in a shotgun fashion towards the male's face. “Show me what your insides look like!” he demanded.



“Excuse me,” said Lu calmly, all the fear drained from his body as appeared ominously off to the side, his crimson hair, once vibrant, was now a blood coated red. In the air loomed a large shadow, the boulder that was thrown was wrapped and anchored by thick roots from the earth.

“I don't mean to impede but its truly rude to intervene in a one on one battle. Allow me to entertain you for a while,” he spoke out to the rest of the S-Ranks.

“I'll be sure to go easy on you all. After all, the strings pulling all this together wouldn't like you guys taking up our time. Try to die quickly for me.”



“Y-You killed him,” he asked in disbelief. He didn't know why but he touched his stomach and for some reason just couldn't believe those words. “You're lying to me,” he blurted out, ignoring Caroline's revelation.

“What really happen? Don't feed me bullshit or else you'll piss me off!” Bright embers started to drift from his clothes, his hair billowed as flames licked out from them. The guild house got unbearably hot. Sable couldn't explain it but the words that fell from Gray's lips had seriously pissed him off. Sent a burning rage into his gut and into his brain.

"This discussion is over" Sable just irritated him therefore freezing him instantly. A parallel of his Father, Silver played along with him like how it was when he froze Natsu solid. "Don't ever mention that name." Sable is frozen by Gray's devil slaying ice. As stated, Gray's basic ice should melt but not the devil slayer ice. Gray grabs Caroline and told her to hurry up. Striking Resemblance of Nostalgia



That caused a ruckus, "Old man, why did you do that!" She charged blindly at Gray and exchanged blows with him; close combat is one sides, Gwen resorts to use ice. "Ice Make: Cold Excalibur!" Gray catches the ice with his bare hands and ate it. "Have you forgotten ice doesn't work on me? And to use my spell against me, you deserve my praise. I apologize but anything related about Natsu, I will not cater to it." He blatantly stated. "One more thing. You're an Ice Mage, you can get your friend out by redirecting my ice, I'm sure you can figure that out." All up to Gwen to get Sable out of the ice.

"Don't try something stupid again, you'll know someday." /Masters couldn't give a single care, they were all drunk and so does a handful of people.

"Anyone else wanna come?" Gwen asked, Master Jak said he wants to come. Gwen froze his head. "That sounded wrong." Oh the IRONY.
