As the anima was about to launch, the Edo-Karn copy hummed before their body quickly collapsed in purple letters and teleported within the Titan as it traveled to Earthland. As they landed, their body changed out of Edolas-Karn's body to their own, which was the same cloaked figure from before this whole thing. Clicking their tongue, they gave a tsking sound.

"Nice try. Not totally successful, but some progress was made I suppose. Though I expected a little more. Ah well." they hummed before they disappeared in their own teleport as the Phoenix Wing Members teleported off.



Karn flicked his ears at Damian's refusal, though lightly purred as he felt Mithera climb about his back and head. Guess Damian just didn't need to eat as much as Karn. Maybe normal people just didn't have giant sized appetites. Even if he had eaten before they left, Karn would still have gotten hungry. Perhaps he's been too used to Chimera appetite.

Still he shrugged and proceeded to rip half of the buck leg and eat what would of been Damian's share. Soaking his muzzle further in blood until half of the leg was stripped to the bone. He wondered if Zero and Zenoram had a appetite. Maybe, he wasn't quite sure on the appetite of dragons and dragonslayers but he assumed they were pretty large.



Chuckling at the odd smelling girl's reaction, he grinned mischievously, further showing off his already poking out upper fangs. Her scream kinda hurt the ears, the feline appendages twitching in response but he simply grinned and stood upright again to look down at her. The response to the compliment was quite adorable, and the girl tried not to look at him in order to hide her blushing cheeks.

At the stammering, Prince hummed and grabbed one of her hands and leaned down and kissed the back of it. "Ah if that is so, perhaps you would like to join our little adventure? It will be a good experience for a shy pretty butterfly such as you to come on a adventure with company eh?" The tall catman said with a charming smile before his ears perked as quite a group of people seemed to just pop up.

"Why hello handsome gentlemen and gorgeous ladies!" he greeted, chuckling a little yet seeming unsurprised despite how so many people just popped up out of no where via teleportation.

"Good to see some more little birds around here." Prince hummed, before popping up in front of Penny in a blink of the eye. "Awe you must be the gorgeous Phoenix of this little guild. Pleasure to meet you at last. My name is Prince. You and your dastardly crew took quite the trip." he chuckled.

Nero didn't seem to be paying as much attention to her now as much as the little girl. Slightly miffed she started to walk away when a bunch of people appeared in front of her. She didn't have enough time to stop and ran smack into Jarvis. Falling back she fumed. "What the hell?" Glancing around there were a whole lot more people here. If she hadn't run into one she might have though her eyes were playing tricks.

This must be one of those teleportation things she'd heard about. Not many could do it but there was always a lot of talk when it happened.

Joshua didn't have to wait long for the fight to end as there was a bright light and the next thing he knew, he was in the city with the rest of his guild mates. He didn't get to even gather his bearings before Jarvis teleported them back to the guild.
"If I get teleported anytime within the next year... ah, screw it, I really don't give a shit anymore." He muttered to himself, feeling a bit sick. Seriously, how people used teleportation in rapid succession was beyond him right now. Maybe they got used to it given time and training, just like how one got used to the weight and feel of a weapon after using it enough times. Looking around, he saw something that made him rather concerned."Hey, Amelia, are you okay?"

Amelia, definitely didn't look her best. The moment they had returned to Earthland, she had felt sick. Jarvis teleporting them shortly afterwards only made her feel worse. Golem was still with her and the constant drain on her magic was not helping. Luckily, the Elemental left shortly after they arrived at the guild but that didn't help by much. When Joshua came over and asked if she was okay, she could only shake her head.

"Jarvis, you might wanna watch over this one." Joshua said, having a note of concern in his voice for the first time since he had joined the guild.

She drops into a chair as soon as they arrive at the guildhall. Sprawling across the table in front of her she sighs, "Food and drink would be nice. Oh, and I still haven't figured out living arrangements here either..." closing her eyes she tries to rest a little but the others were acting really energetically, 'Of course when I want to rest the people around me make it difficult. Okay I've decided. I'm not gonna stay in the guildhall... I need more privacy than any room in the hall will offer,' sighing she looks at the tall cat eared man, "Oh joy, looks like the guild now has a someone who'll openly hit on me. Whatever, I need some rest..." she closes her eyes as she waits for Jamie to return.

Zero scoffed and with a slight chuckle and shook his head. "Right. That's what I thought." He said calmly as he leaned against the carriage. Now they were playing the waiting game. "Honestly, why do people with a bit more age and power think they have all the answers?" He stopped and glanced at Damian. "Not a jab at you personally..." He stopped and glanced as a familiar beast came into view. Yes, there he was. Zero's preferred form of Karn's.

Still, what was that in his... Leg... The leg of a buck. He looked down. He thought for a moment shifting his gaze from Karn, to the meat, to Damian, back to the meet and finally back to Karn. He thought for a moment. Then he looked back at the meat and licked his lips.

"Oh... Oh know... Uh uh... Not again..."
"But I'm hungry..."
"But last time you ate and when we switched back all I could taste was the raw meat!"
"Yeah... The raw... Bloody... Fresh..."

He likely would have begun eating right there is he hadn't noticed Mithera. "Oh. That's new." He said calmly as he looked at the small creature. It was interesting. Like the form he had first met her in, but smaller. He couldn't help, but chuckle as he looked at her there sitting on Karn. However, his attention kept returning to the meat.

"I said no Zero."
"But I want to eat it."
"But you said you wouldn't do anything to make me upset."
"But you said I would get in a few good fights."
"But... But..."

Then his head snapped to Damian. He denied the meat. Zero was locked in an argument with Zenoram about wanting to eat it, and he just said no. And then Karn assaulted the meat. He strip it to the bone. He stripped half of it. "Okay... Mine." Zero said as he grabbed the leg, or rather what was left of it, and lifted it up. He opened his mouth. Fangs? Maybe. His canines and teeth were definitely a bit more strong and prominent than a normal persons. Even more so than when Zenoram was in control.

"Noooooooooo!!!!"

Zero wouldn't listen. Karn had already attacked half of the meal. He wouldn't lose the other half. He simply bit into the leg and tore the meat away. He chewed spitting out what he didn't like and swallowing what he did. He didn't care how it looked. He'd learned to eat like this. With Hemlock sometimes cooking wasn't an option. Sometimes it was eat to survive whether you liked it or not. Although, while Zenoram grew to hate meals like this, Zero had no problems. He even liked them, as evident by his current plan of attack and food.

That wasn't quite the team she was expecting. It was basically a team made of the random berks they just picked up off the street today. "Master, with all due respect, are there no other guild members-" She was cut short as people returned from Edolas, suddenly appearing within the guild. She examined the lot returning for a moment, before nodding softly. "Right. I'll just recruit somebody from that group."

Prince was busy making friends, like she expected. Couldn't tie him down to talking to just one lady, no no. Nero was still talking to Ayame, okaay... That one. Sasha? She seemed like she wanted to go somewhere, and what was that she heard? "Somewhere in Fiore?" Trinity approached Sasha, smiling softly as she eyes the woman curiously. "Sounds pretty vague, to me. If you plan on leaving again right away, I'm going to Balsam Village. Damian said I should bring someone with me, and so far, I've got... two non-guild mages. Strangers, even. Maybe if they weren't so weird, I'd feel better about it, but I'd feel better traveling with someone I know I can trust. You've been here longer than I, so you're perfect. Though, Maybe you should rest, first...?" They just got back from another world, after all. Sounds pretty tiring.

It became clear to Lucas that this man, well as man as someone who cant handle girls that is, will not shake his hand. As Lucas went to put his hand away Fleo, the super energetic women shook his hand and introduced herself. "Hello Fleo, nice to meet you." His hand was now returned to him. Lucas stared at Amaya as the carriage began to move and if Lucas had blinked, he would've missed her reaction, becoming completely white and looking dizzy. Nolan appeared to be trying to make this trip faster, maybe it was a good thing, Lucas's power surges started to tingle. Crap... Not now... Lucas opened the door to jump out, "Don't slow down... i'll catch up." He yelled out to Nolan, smiling as he proceeded to jump out of the moving carriage. When he was a safe distance away from the carriage he let it all out. His arms, expanded with a blinding light, he reached down and touched the ground... Then bang. Lucas was standing in a crater only a meteor would've caused, We can't come home this way... Lucas saw the carriage off in the distant, Crash: Bakuhatsu Roketto! (Explosive Rocket) Lucas's feet started to show light, "Let's see if I got this..." His fett exploded sending him flying through the sky. He was gaining speed towards the carriage, closer and closer. He shot past the carriage before landing about 5 meters in front. When the carriage came into arms reach Lucas grabbed it and hung off the side. He opened the door in time to see Fleo jump out. Lucas returnd to his seat, "Nolan, you're carriage is a bit slow..."

Jarvis was about to speak up, when Ariel crashed into him, Jarvis blinked in surprise, not recognising her. "I am sorry, Miss" he said, offering his hand to help her up, looking over at Amelia with concern when Joshua spoke up.

"Food and rest for you, little one" he said, and after he helped Ariel up, he went over to the bar, and had soon had a decent amount of food prepared, keeping an eye on Amelia, concerned for her.



Penny studied the catman with a blank look. He was quite tall, and Penny found that oddly...annoying. She crossed her arms over her chest, and frowned slightly. "In my experience, when anything Male results to flattery, they want something" She said, still studying him. What had he done to his eye, to be wearing an eye patch, like that?

"You look like you have been in a cat fight or two" she added, in a completely neutral tone, "You speak as if you know who I am, and yet, I have no idea who you are. So. What do you want, who are you, and how do you know who I am?" She asked, more curious then anything else.

After all, if this cat fellow was dangerous, surely Master Jamie wouldn't have him floating around the guild.



Sasha looked over as Trinity approached. Having spent more time in edo-Trinity's company, Sasha was curious to see how Earthland Trinity was. She listened as Trinity spoke, and looked thoughtful. They might as well start somewhere, searching for Wes.

"I'm okay, I don't need rest" She said, "Honestly, I'm just enjoying being in the guild hall, with magic all around us" She said, with mild amusement, "I'll go with you, but Balsam Village isn't a dangerous place Why do you need someone else with you?"

"Someone calling himself Time Lord, of all things, came through town recently. He made an omen of himself before leaving, and he dropped a bloodstained photograph he said he got from FOREVER Magazine. Damian said I should take people with. Considering we don't know the man, his habits, or motives, it's probably best that I do." She produces the photo and hands it to Sasha. "Take a look."

She turns to watch Prince float about. Now he was flirting with Penny, leaving Alexi blushing and bashful. She smiles adoringly before she waves to the shy girl. He probably didn't say much, really. If it were a more confident woman, she'd be suspicious, but... well.

Karn watched Zero seem to have a internal conversation of sorts. At least by facial expressions that he was having. Him and Zenoram might be having a conversation. It was then, the Dragonslayer picked up the bone, looking a bit like a giant half eaten drumstick, before showing down on the rest of the flesh. Mhm, apparently the Dragonslayer can eat it raw too. Understandable, since he was raised by a dragon. Watching him eat for a moment, Karn then started licking his lips then his massive paws. Rubbing them against his face to clean himself up from the blood. Including licking his fluffy mane covered chest to clean Mithera's blood he had gotten over himself from hugging her.

Once he finished licking himself clean, the Chimera smiled brightly. "Alright, ready to continue to the village?" he chirped before padding over the harness, and somehow, managing to expertly put it on, though he had to widen the strappings a bit since he was a Chimera which was bigger than any horse.

Waiting for everyone to either get in the carriage, or however way they wished to travel, and Melina to return and get in, he soon continued on to the trip to Mount Hakobe. It took some time to make it all the way, but when they neared the village, there was a large explosion. Ears perking, he slowed his pace as a earth shattering roar pierced the sky and shouts could be heard. There was fire engulfing trees and screams of villagers.

Golden eyes narrowed, he smelled a ton of magic. There were other wizards here and a lot of the, and by the sounds of things, the situation wasn't good. Stopping the cart, slipping out of the harness. "Everyone, I think we have a problem." he said, fur bristling a little as a man stood in front of a flaming tree with eight people around him.




Seeing them, the figure simply made a annoyed sigh. "Oh great. More wizards. How annoying. Just more trouble." he mused before fulling looking at the Chimera and hummed.

"A Eastern Chimera? Now that would be a nice one for the collection. Two for one. Good day." he mused.

"Why are you here?" Karn asked, golden eyes watching as the eight people surrounded them.

"What else? To catch a dragon."



"Hey, no need to leave out Females. Girls are just as capable being suspicious by using flattery. Actually some might be more scary. Too clever at it." Prince joked with a soft chuckle, looking down at her, watching as she seemed to study him. Processing probably whatever she sees and perhaps wondering a few things.

At the mention of cat fight, he chuckled a little at the light pun. "Ah yes. Ya know, scars makes someone all the more attractive. So not so mad." he chuckled as he brushed a finger over the eyepatch and the X scar on his chest before humming as he took out a magazine from within his coat.

"One thing of Guilds, especially ones this popular, kinda hard not to know by at least name eh?" Prince chuckled, flipping the pages, showing several people. Penny, Sasha, Maddox, and so on before humming at the rapid fire of questions.

"Told you, I'm Prince. And I came here to meet with my good little adorable kitten, Karn. But it seems he's already ran off on a mission. So I was just going to hang around, but it seems one of the many lovely beauties here asked for my assistance. Can't say no can I? And apparently with the beautiful Crystal of the Guild." he hummed as he flicked his tail toward Sasha whom Trinity was talking to.

Before they had set off, Mithera had stuck her tongue out at Damian while he wasn't looking, not minding if she looked childish. Melina would've arrived after not long, and sat in the driver's seat as to avoid having to sit in the back with Zero and possibly get vomited on. During the ride, Mithera sat on Karn's head, her tail moving back and forth as she happily looked around. She was light enough that having her on his head wouldn't be any problem, maybe just a little bothersome had Karn been a human.

When the explosion rang out, it caught Mithera off guard so much she rolled backwards off Karn's head and down onto her back, stopping while lying on her stomach. She looked up at the Dark Wizards when they appeared, starting to growl a little, standing up quickly. Melina just looked bemused by the whole event, saying nothing, but a small smile on her face as she started to get off the carriage. There was a tiny hope in the back of her mind they'd connect her with her father by looks alone, but doubted it. That would just make her day too good.

Joshua kept an eye on Amelia and helped her over to the bar. She didn't even acknowledge the food and simply rested her head on the bar, let out a pained groan.
"I'm not sure I'd be able to keep that food down." She mumbled.

"Jarvis, does teleporting have a chance at making people sick?" Joshua asked." Cause she was fine until we got here. Maybe two in a row was too much for her? Especially since one was from Edolas to Earthland."

"Since when do you care?" Amelia asked

"Who says I really do?" Joshua said, though he truthfully did.

[Damian]

Damian slowed to a stop and dismissed the Striker Blade, summoning his pair of Ares Blades and confronting the man who spoke. "And how do you know you're not wasting your time? However, I don't think you're being completely honest. You've the looks of a Rune Knight about you." He flared his magic circle briefly, releasing the Omega lock. "Regardless, you're harming innocents. And I'll be damned if you get away with that."

Sasha took the photo, examining it. She remembered that day, quite clearly. Just after the S class exam, she was still quite injured from the battles she had been in. Sword, and skin don't mix. So she had decided to take an easy, simply job from Forever Magazine, wanting two people, a couple, to do a photo shoot as a bride and groom. So she had dragged Lazarus along, simply because it was an easy ob and good money.

And then the demon showed up. Fighting in a wedding dress was not easy, and she smiled at the memory. "probably the photographer from the photoshoot took this, as she ran after me exclaiming about the dress" She said with amusement, "They'll probably talk to me, but why are you worried? This blood stain could have come from any of us, during that fight. I can't remember if I was showed photos or not after. Still, I suppose its best to check on them" She said softly.

She was worried, and fearful that if anything had happened to these girls, then it was on her, for she had chosen the job. She didn't think the demon would appear, didnt think anything of the FOREVER magazine girls. What if something had happened to them, what was she meant to do? Hunt down this Time Lord and demand justice?



"Maybe its scary because women are better at it, and Men are more...influential in that regard" Penny said with amusement, "After all, Men do tend to have a one track mind and all. Oddly, most of the guys here are pretty good at havng more then a one track mind" She mused, "Well, except for Lazarus. Basically wears his heart on his sleeve, but who would have thought he would actually settle for one woman?" and now she was ust talking out loud.

At the mention of Karn, Penny frowned. Penny felt protective of Karn, because he seemed so...innocent, and child-like. Terrified of water, of all things, when he could shapeshift into a water animal and swim easily. But everyone had their fears. Penny hadn't spent any time with his Edolas Version, and was so unaware of anything about Them, but Karn had been eager to help even when he wasn't apart of the guild.

And there was no denying that he needed someone to make sure he didn't get into trouble that he couldnt get out of. She seemed to dismiss the magazine with the photos in it, although she detested having her photo taken, and wondered just who had managed to do it. "Why are you looking for Karn?" She asked, "And going on a job? You can't! You're not apart of the guild!" She looked over at Trnity and Sasha briefly.



"Well, you can try the soup and see what happens. You've used a lot of energy, and ontop of that, come from a world with very little magic to our world, which is full of magic." Jarvis said kindly, looking to Joshua, "I'm unaware of anyting like that happening, but I suppose it is possible. Motion sickness is quite common" He said, musingly, "Still...We havee many potions, that can help with illness. But I'm reluctant to use them, not knowing what ales her" he sighed softly, "A little bit of soup and water, and then we'll see about a room and bed"

Amelia nodded at Jarvis' instructions and lifted her head off the bar so that she could eat the soup he had indicated, though at a very slow pace.

"Well, whatever it is, I hope she gets over it soon."Joshua said."If we're lucky, it's just some sort of backlash from being brought back from Edolas. At worse... hell if I know how it might be worse.

Still, if you need help, let me know. Also, if it possible for me to meet the guild master that's our actual guild master? Seriously, I want to see how different they are from their counterpart."

"What is our Master Jamie like?" Amelia asked, slightly curious herself.

Lazarus

He folded his arms and rubbed the back of his head, listening to Sasha and Trinity. "The whole point of getting that book from the council library was to get wes back... but we have no idea where he is." He sighed. "I hate to say it... but our odds of finding him are very slim." He thought for a moment. "That Bryte character in edolas... He looked a lot like Wes... But we already established it wasn't Edo-Wes..." He pondered, looking at Mayt. "Memory block... Wes was sent to edolas... and forgot everything! Here in earthland he should remember everything... I think we'll be seeing him soon." He smiled.

The memory of that job made him feel sick. "I am in magazines... but fashion..." He rolled his eyes. "Fighting in a suit was pretty simple..." He straighten his jacket. "The wings rip it open anyway." He looked at Trinity. "I need to stretch my wings. Give us the details."

Ayame hand't noticed that she had hurt Nero in her grip. The man didn't look that fragile to her and she wasn't that strong herself either, but you never know your own powers they say. She felt quite happy that Nero was patting her head but still a feeling of emberasment was showed on her face. He didn't help the girl afterwards, what was probably for the best. But there was something else that did bother her a little bit. Nero addressed her as Aya, nobody had used the nickname before they had permission to do so. It wasn't that huge of a deal but it made her feel weird and happy at the same time. Out of nowhere several people had entered the guild hall with teleportation. Ayame fell back onto her butt before quickly moving herself behind Nero his side. Her face was full of stress on what to do now. There were already a lot of people in the guild alone before the others entered. She tucked on the side of Nero's clothes trying to get his attention and increased her height a small bit by standing on her toes to talk in his ear. Her voice was so soft from all the nerves that it was barely hearable "C-can you b-bring me to J-jam-ie." She blindly guessed Jamie had somewhere to talk to her in private or anywere less occupated. So it was assumable that she had to follow Jamie towards the spot.

The black wearing man with long black hair, golden eyes and black smoke slightly emitting from him with bandages over his forehead and around the jaw, simply rolled his eyes in response to the man with swords. "Oh right, just blame the first scary man you see when you get here and see destruction. Very original. Do give yourself a pat on the back and wave your stick around like a big man. Simpleton." the man said sarcastically as he slowly clapped his hands together in a sarcastic applause.

"For your information. It's because the simpleton morons decided to do a moronic plan, with bumbling fools who don't know what the fuck their doing and are too egotystical about it because 'oh my we got a dragon we going to be sooooooo powerful and we are too big for our britches!' Yeah great. Destroy the whole bloody village. I still wonder how we got down here the first place." The man grumbled mostly to himself before his golden eyes glared toward the wizards, giving a brief glance to Melina before he huffed before turning away. Smoke flicking along with his movement.

"If the men or dragon don't take care of you, then I'll deal with you vile creatures later. There are more important matters for me to settle." The mysterious man before motioning to the eight around him with the wave of his and to strike before walking off and deeper through the fire engulfed village.

It was then the eight that surrounded them, went to strike them. Just about all wore the same white and blue soldier armor with gray cloaks. One man on Karn's right punched the ground. Cracks emerging from under the fist and making their way toward the beast. Quickly, the Chimera sidestepped and bolted toward the man, lowering his head a little to give a hard head butt to guy's face while shifting his body weight to his forelegs as he used them as leverage to swing his lower body to the side. Slamming two other attackers coming up from the side with his massive tail and knocking them into a rock.

Golden eyes glancing to the village, seeing it engulf in fire and screams could be heard. Something about a dragon. But that couldn't be. Would Hemlock really attack this village? Although Zero had said it had been unfriendly, they still didn't deserve this. What did that man say? They got the dragon? Were they fighting Hemlock and the village just get in the crossfire?

Quickly, Karn turned his head to make sure the others were okay, slightly shifting his tail to lightly feel for Mithera to make sure she was alright with the slightly rough ride.



At Penny's point on the genders, the feline couldn't help but laugh. "Awe if only you knew how ironic it is for me to wonder about this. Quite a confusing really." he chuckled before grinning and nudged her shoulder playfully with a elbow.

"I'm sure you could just about catch whoever you want. Might be more dangerous than that pretty boy. Have a lovely love story of your own." he chuckled before humming as her expression suddenly shifted at the mention of Karn.

Funny, this one also seemed to feel a sense of needing to protect. Not exactly blaming her since Prince knew Karn... Well there were several reasons. Such a dependent girly boy. "Awe you could say we got put together in a litter under a mother of kinda cats. More like part lion but you know. Two kittens of the same basket." he chuckled as he answered in a more vague twisted way.

At her refusal, he playfully tsked, patting the top of her head gently. "Now now, I'd understand your worry if she went with me alooooone but she has a nice little expert. Just think of me as the escort or entertainment, or a stray cat just deciding to follow along. Your Guild Master was fine with me and that ball of sunshine over there going with her." Prince said, flicking his tail toward Nero.

[Damian]

While Karn dealt with the three near him, Damian turned and met the blade of a requip wizard, pivoting the blade down and slamming the hilt of his own blade into the chin of the man, knocking him out cold. The second wizard was another matter, using Guns magic and forcing Damian to move. "Alright, now's a good time to come clean! Is there or isn't there a damnable dragon?!" Sliding under another guns magic spell, Damian moves into range and cuts the barrel off the weapon, slamming his other fist into his face and staggering him.

Alexi - Phoenix Wing Guild Hall

Alexi was feeling completely overwhelmed at the moment. Before she knew what was going on, Prince had kissed her hand, causing her already red
face to deepen even more, and she quickly pulled it back, unable to say anything. Just as he had invited her to join him on a mission, suddenly the Guild was filled to the brim with a lot more people, causing Alexi to shrink back even farther. If she had thought there were a lot of the people in the Guild before...now there were far to many. And before she could even think of giving Prince a reply, he was off, leaving Alexi alone once more.

Fighting the urge to run out of the hall and into the forest, she glanced around, hoping, praying, that something or someone would be able to calm her shot nerves. That's when she noticed someone waving to her. She seemed friendly enough, and since she hadn't scared Alexi half to death like Prince, Alexi felt a surge of courage and began to make her way to the other female.

"H-hello." Alexi said, not making eye contact. Her hood was still down, and because of that she felt exposed. But she glanced up, feeling a little more confident around this new person. "My name is Alexi. I uh, just joined the Guild. Is it...always like this? With people just appearing out of no where?"
