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

The young woman looked at George in disbelief at first, but her expression soon turned into anger. [color=lightcyan]"You think you're funny, don't you?"[/color] she spat, jumping out of the way of his ice minions. She slid to a halt and recomposed herself, her red eyes still stabbing through him. [color=lightcyan]"My father's been dead for years! If you think you can fool me with a disguise when I saw him die with my own eyes then you've got another thing coming!"[/color] Her right fist went into her left palm, taking up the proper maker stance. She was serious.

[color=lightcyan]"And I warned you already. I'm warmed up."[/color] The snow at her feet began to swirl around as her magical power began to release. [color=lightcyan]"I'll show you the power of a [i]true[/i] Kaiser! And you'll regret taking my father's face!"[/color] A light blue glow of magic radiated from her hands. Stacy remained still even as the Ice Familiars closed in on her. [b][color=lightcyan]"Ice Make! Hungry Dragon!"[/color][/b] She thrust her hands forward, letting loose a giant eastern dragon of solid ice. The dragon immediately bashed through the Ice Familiars, showing no signs of impedance on its way to George.

As the Ice Dragon drew closer to its target, something began to change with it. Red lines, dark like blood, began to form throughout the ice like veins. [color=lightcyan]"Only a true Kaiser can perform this magic!"[/color] Stacy shouted, anger still evident on her face and in her voice. [color=lightcyan]"While a fraud like you can only [i]die[/i] to the Blood Ice!"[/color]

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

The cherry-blossom woman looked over when the hawk appeared carrying a letter. Hana reached out and took it, taking her time opening it before reading it. [color=deeppink]"Urgent. Sage Ruzuzaki spotted in the town of Valdosta, wrecking public and private property, utilities and at this rate the town. Retrieve him or else Lamia Scale will be suspended,"[/color] she read slowly, making sure her dyslexia wouldn't embarrass her. Only after finishing the letter did the meaning sink in.

[color=deeppink]"I thought Sage had taken a mission... This is bad. He might make Lamia Scale look like the bad guys..."[/color] The letter in her hand fell to the floor as she clenched a fist and held it over her chest. [color=deeppink]"Our honor as mages of Fiore, protectors of the defenseless. We cannot allow this. We must go-"[/color] Hana stopped mid-sentence, twirling around toward the guild hall and raising a hand toward it. Cherry blossoms began flowing from the ground at her feet, like tendrils of pink mass. The packed blossoms flooded into the guild hall, each tendril wrapping around one of the mages within the building.

While this would surely come as a shock from the suddenness of it and the strangeness too, the reasoning was soon explained. Like Yuuka, Hana had noticed the smell of explosives. She couldn't identify the source so she instead did what she could to protect everybody. Even Jeanne next to her was covered in cherry blossoms, leaving only Hana uncovered when the explosion occurred. As the dust settled it could be seen that a thick wall of blossoms had covered her at the last minute, effectively ensuring that there were no casualties or injuries.

[color=deeppink]"A bomb."[/color] The blossoms that had covered everybody individually began to scatter now, vanishing into the air as the magic wore off. A serious expression had taken hold of Hana's face. While her face seemed calm, there was an undeniable rage in her blue eyes. An anger previously unseen. [color=deeppink]"Someone... attacked Lamia Scale?"[/color] Even her voice gave away her true emotion. [color=deeppink]"Do they dare mock us? To believe us to be so inferior as to be defeated by... a cheap tactic?"[/color] Hana's left hand was held out to her side, a white glow proving she had summoned one of her blades. She held the black, sheathed sword tightly in her hand. [color=deeppink]"I... am not happy..."[/color]
