[h3]Ajax Thera - Councilman - [color=orange]Hellmouth[/color][/h3]

The big man adjusted his body slightly, actually bringing his hand up and catching Oriel's tonfa. The power of the blow cracked the ground underneath their feet, but Ajax himself didn't budge an inch. [b]"Fire, I cannot eat,"[/b] he answered her question plainly, still keeping her gripped by her weapon. [b]"But the two of you are at a severe disadvantage against me, as compared to other members of the Magic Council."[/b] Despite how easy it would've been to throw Oriel at Aiden, he instead tossed her to the side and out of her partner's path of attack.

The very moment she was out of the way, Aiden began his flurry of attacks. Ajax stepped to the side, dodging the high pressure jet of water with room to spare. The two ice and water phoenixes that came from above were blocked, with Ajax allowing them to hit the palms of his hands. The explosions still happened all the same regardless, but there was no direct hit. The following roar attack, however, scored a direct hit. It even lifted Ajax into the air before encapsulating him inside a small glacier.

While it seemed this was successful briefly, the ice surrounding him quickly began melting and cracking. Releasing some of his magical power, Ajax blew the ice apart and landed on the ground. After taking a moment to wipe some half-melted ice shards off his shoulders, Ajax looked back at Aiden and Oriel. [b]"The disadvantage you two have is that your magics won't hurt me."[/b] His gaze went to Oriel first. [b]"There are no flames that can burn my skin. I feel no heat. Though my clothes are fire resistant, perhaps they can be damaged by a Fire Mage."[/b]

Now he looked to Aiden. [b]"And neither ice nor water can counter lava. My body heat alone protects me from ice, though your water presents a danger in a high pressure stream like before."[/b] Now he stood before them again, noticeably more intimidating than before despite his expression not changing. [b]"Elemental magic is useless against me. There is no element more powerful than Lava."[/b] The moment of intimidation washed away, and Ajax let out a sigh. [b]"So far, between the two of you, it is Oriel that poses the biggest threat to me. Her strength is acceptable, and taking direct hits from her would damage me more than the Water and Ice."[/b]

[b]"Though... Aiden is demonstrating acceptable magical power. It is simply an unfortunate fate that the magic will not work against me. Perhaps if one of the other commanders was here you two would leave a greater impression."[/b] His yellow eyes seemed to grow darker now as his body seemed to lose some of its tension. [b]"I think I've got a good read on your power. Problem is... I've seen little magic coming from Oriel and little strength coming from Aiden..."[/b] His hands clenched into fists now. [b]"So I'm going to need to fix that. And I'll start with testing Aiden's physical capabilities before moving on to Oriel's magical capabilities."[/b]

Ajax rotated slightly, taking a fighting stance. [b]"So you two have a new objective now: rather than fighting me..."[/b] His eyes seemed to have a dangerous glow about them now. [b]"You two must survive me."[/b] For a big man, he moved rather fast. In the blink of an eye, he was standing before Aiden with his arm already coiled to strike. Giving him no mercy, Ajax let out a fast jab to the young Dragon Slayer's gut. While it seemed weak by watching, the blow would surely knock the wind out of Aiden. A blow that could defeat a typical mage, though a physically conditioned one would survive. After his initial attack, Ajax gave pause to let Aiden counterattack. After all the goal was to find how strong these two are, not brutalize them.

[h3]Stacy Kaiser - [color=lightcyan]White Tiger[/color][/h3]

Stacy barely reached the ground when Kyou appeared behind her. The pale girl jumped in surprise, but after seeing who it was she let out a sigh of relief. [b]"Hell no I'm not spectating that,"[/b] Stacy responded, wiping some sweat from her forehead. [b]"Last time I was near Ajax when he used magic, he set my hair on fire. It took forever to grow it back to this length."[/b] A grin formed on her face now. [b]"But I'm curious to see what you have to show me.~"[/b]

[h3]Hana Oshiro - [color=deeppink]The Last Samurai[/color][/h3]

The pink-haired woman stopped when Jeanne began powering up. Despite the dangerous environment the two women were in, Hana seemed oblivious to the incoming attacks. Perhaps she was confident in Jeanne and knew that she was safe. Perhaps she simply didn't realize she was being attacked. Both were plausible truths. [b]"A shortcut?"[/b] Hana responded, confused by what Jeanne meant. Though the confusion didn't last because the meaning was soon demonstrated.

Hana watched as Jeanne moved on to attack Renji and Lu, her eyes wide in awe. [b]"Wow,"[/b] she let out, before letting her gaze wander from the holy flames. [b]"But the leader still needs to be beaten. Taking out those two won't stop this from happening again..."[/b] Hana tightened her grip on her sheathed sword, still looking around. One of the meteors was heading straight for her, yet she didn't budge. Just before it reached her, the flames were suddenly sliced into tiny pieces. So small they scattered around Hana and burned out at her feet, doing no damage to their intended target. And to anyone watching it seemed as if Hana didn't even move.

Her gaze went up now, towards the green magic circle where the meteors were coming from. [b]"I think that's where he is,"[/b] she spoke to herself, though she seemed a bit unsure. [b]"The magic coming from there certainly feels like it... but it's not the biggest threat..."[/b] Another one of the meteors came directly towards her, but this time Hana started walking and it only barely missed the target, slamming into the ground behind her while she didn't even seem to detect it. [b]"It's hard for me to focus with so much stuff going on..."[/b]

One of the massive tornadoes was heading on a course towards Hana now. Her hair was whipping across her face and she was forced to brush it out of the way. [b]"I can't think straight with all this magic... It's so distracting..."[/b] Hana stopped and looked at the oncoming tornado, taking a moment to admire the power behind it. [b]"... It's too loud. I... can't function in this environment."[/b] Her hair changed direction, now being pulled towards the tornado before her due to the closing proximity. The very ground around her began tearing apart as it was sucked into the powerful cyclone. Hana's right hand reached across and latched onto the hilt of her sheathed blade.

Her figure blurred for a split-second before returning to normal. Though it appeared as if she didn't even move, it became apparent what she did. The tornado before her dissipated rapidly, the magic binding it being sliced into pieces. But the tornado in front of her wasn't the only thing destroyed. The other disasters across Augustine were also slashed into pieces, quelling the tornadoes and the noise of the wind. Even the green magic circle in the sky that was raining meteors suddenly had several clean slices through it, disabling it and ending the raining meteors.

With all the magic that Hana destroyed, Augustine Town became much more quiet. The pink-haired samurai let out a sigh of relief as she let go of her weapon's hilt. [b]"Much better... now I can concentrate,"[/b] Hana spoke to herself. She looked up at the sky now. The clouds above Augustine were all split into pieces. [i]Did I do that?[/i] she wondered briefly before remembering the problem at hand. [i]Right. The bad guys.[/i] Her pink eyes went to Lucifer now. Her target was spotted. Without another word, Hana's body began breaking down, transforming into cherry blossoms that began floating into the sky.
