"[color=00aeef]Why?[/color]" Manami responded as she held her arms by her sides, fists clenched as she trembled. However it wasn't in fear or the like. To be honest she was certainly questioning why she was fighting James and Plegetheon, or rather mostly James, however the only answer she could give herself was that they were protecting the slayers.
"[color=00aeef]Why? Why?! Why must everyone get in the damned way?![/color]" Something seemed to snap in her mind now, if it wasn't obvious by her outburst "[color=00aeef]Sinners...corruption...everywhere....must purge it all.[/color]" Manami was once again holding her head as the pain from before now returned and threatened to rip her mind in two. At the mention of those words, a low rumble could be heard beneath their feet.
"[color=7ea7d8]Manami-sama![/color]" Shiro appeared suddenly by her mistress's side now as Nidhogg made his way over as well it would seem. Shiro wasn't sure what exactly was going on, but she could see the healing wound and Nidhogg's words seemed to fill in some blanks. It would also seem there were more wizards here than before.
"[color=00aeef]....[/color]" Manami looked away as Nidhogg spoke, not able to look him in the eyes. He was right, as a member of Shadow Heart it was meant to be their belief to do as they pleased. However that hadn't sat right with her once.
But the general meaning of it wasn't lost on Manami.
"[color=00aeef]You're right...I let them get to me. I need to do this, otherwise it was a waste.[/color]" She glanced at Shiro now as she said this before whispering towards the mage.
"[color=00aeef]I assume no problems then?[/color]" Shiro nodded briefly as Manami let out a sigh of relief before the sudden onslaught of Ferrin against Nidhogg. Well it was flashy, she would give Ferrin that.
However she didn't seemed too worried about Nidhogg, she was sure he would be fine....hopefully. Maybe.

Cody barely had time to try and counter Nidhogg's attack on Ferrin, which it turned out he hadn't needed to anyway, before he found himself trapped within the grasp of the skeletal hand which Nidhogg had summoned. Domes and giant hands, they seemed to be this guys specialties huh? Wait-that didn't matter.
What mattered right now was the nectrotic energey surrounding him...thankfully it was being counteracted by the aura James had cast on him but it wouldn't last forever.
However now he could hear someone or speaking to him. Cody couldn't understand a word the voice spoke, and he didn't recognise the language. Despite this however he just....seemed to know what the voice was saying.
[i]Do you crave Freedom? Do you wish to be unbound from the tethers of this world? To become strong?[/i]
As these words echoed throughout his mind, he felt a jolt through his back outwards. Like an electric shock, or perhaps a kick up the backside. It had only lasted a moment but he felt...power. Strange, ancient power.
[i]Only through strength, can one become truly free. . . to do whatever they wish and grasp whatever they desire.[/i]
Cody hadn't much time to dwell on the voice now as he found himself freed by a rather unhappy Ferrin who then proceeded to insult the younger mage...even this man whom he had only met twice before knew it. Cody lacked the power-or really the confidence-to make a difference.
Maybe he should heed this man's advice...however his thoughts now turned to the voice from before and what it had said.

"[color=f49ac2]Flying? I've always wondered how that would feel. Sounds like fun![/color]" Jasmine responded cheerfully. She wasn't really afraid of heights too much, but she never tended to go high up anyway so it wasn't like she could've tested it anyway. But like most people, she had dreamed of flying high up in the air...free as a bird.
She couldn't wait. However at the mention of the Moth person she frowned.
"[color=f49ac2]I doubt it...last I saw them was the hotel.[/color]"

Ash had been the first down, and now was the first one to go back up unless Thor wanted to first. Then she would allow the lightning mage to go ahead, however she would prefer to go ahead to make sure the coast was clear back up above ground. That and the place creeped her out a lot more than her pride would let her admit.
She craved the sunlight...however she was just met with disappoint from the dark, angry clouds which blotted out most of the sunlight. It gave a rather depressing mood to the atmosphere which wasn't that fantastic to begin with for the trio.
As they made their way back to report their findings however, they were met with the most horrific and obese woman Ash had ever come across in her entire life. Like seriously woman, by the way you dressed you looked to be a peasant. No excuse to be so damn fat.
However the glowing eye thing caught Ash completely off guard as the group was now surrounded by what seemed to be some sort of toxic fog....no. Not toxic. Magical.
It seemed to drain her of her will to live, drive away all feelings of happiness, never once embracing the sun. It seemed to target her very essence. However it would seem that she was in luck, Sanders had granted her unoffical member status but she was still allowed to wear the guild mark. And it was this very same mark on her left thigh that seemed to give her the will-no the ability-to act.

Even though she was moving sluggishly she managed to roll out of the way of the surprisingly fast woman's attack. Seriously a woman-or a man either- that size shouldn't be able to move like that, that was just plain bullshit. Stupid cheating fatso.
"[color=9e0b0f] Flames of the lord I call thee to punish these sinners.[/color]" With whatever it was coming from the guild mark assisting her, Ash's right fist ignited into a white flame before she placed it against her skull. The flame seemed to disappear, as did the rune which had been etched into her mind. With that obnoxious obstacle out of the way, Ash allowed her fists to be covered in fire once more.
"[color=9e0b0f]You picked the wrong people to mess with bitch.[/color]" Closing the short distance between her and the obese woman before anyone could blink, she drew back a fist to launch a punch with the power to punch straight through a concentrete pillar with ease and enough heat to match.

The first thing the group was met with was a powerful shockwave which was directed away by a lazy backhand from Sora into another nearby building, causing it to collapse and thus be destroyed. If one had paid enough attention, they might've noticed that the shockwave was more powerful after Sora had deflected it but he would deny any sort of accusation made by anyone.
"[color=39b54a]There they. Shiro is that one.[/color]" Sora pointed over towards Manami and Shiro now, making sure to single out Shiro to Verrick now as he clasped the younger mage on the back "[color=39b54a]Ok so guys we're doing things a little differently today. Jess and Mai, your usual team. Verrick and Ethel will be the other team. I'll just hang back here in case I'm needed.[/color]" Sora gave the four younger mages a smirk now as a breeze blew in from behind and blew them over to where the action was happening between James and co.
Sora had decided to hang back now for a few reasons which might've been obvious to those who knew him well enough. First and foremost, he didn't enjoy beating down women. Call him sexist or a gentleman, he didn't care.
Secondly they were too weak for him to bother fighting. Thirdly, and perhaps more importantly, he had a very bad habit of destroying anything and everything in a fight.
Oh that and the weirdo over there seemed like a decent fellow to speak with. Powerful too.
"[color=39b54a]Who's attention are you trying to get? The magic council? Cause destroying buildings is the way to go then.[/color]" Sora said as he walked over to Ferrin with his hands in his pant pockets and a casual demeanour about him. Sure everyone seemed to be in the middle of some huge showdown, but Sora didn't really care.
