Penny@Lunarlors34Distracted as she was, Penny didn't notice someone heading towards her, until they slammed into her breasts and promptly feel onto their backside. It just seemed the day for Penny's breasts to be the victim of different types of assault. The girl seemed to get off worse for wear though.
Putting on hold, reluctantly, what she was going to do, Penny offered a hand to the girl,
"I'm sorry, I was off in my own thoughts and didn't notice you. Are you alright?" She asked,
"And may I ask, what you are doing in this hotel? It's a guild hotel for the duration of the games" She spoke politely, in case this girl was one of the new members penny had yet to meet.
"I'm Penny, one of the S class mages of Phoenix Wing" She added, almost as an after thought.
Michael@Jangel13@silver FoxMichael watched the battles with interest, wincing as Jackie's battle progressed, until its end. The battles made him feel like he was way out of his league, and he decided to try his best in his training, but knew it probably never would reach that level.
After some time, he glanced about and noticed Jackie's opponent was nearby. Michael felt like the guy had gone a little bit too far, but supposed that Jackie had given her all as well. He actually found it surprising the guy was up. He hesitated, wondering if he should speak up, as if he was alright.
it was a dilemma, in one way, Michael was concerned for the guys safety and yet, he had been a guild members opponent. In the end Michael went with speaking up, deciding concern should always win over a competition.
"Are you okay?" Jane's reckoning battleAmelia looked over at Rose and frowned.
"
I'm not fighting but I'm not going to run away either. I will stay by their side. I know I lack the skill to fight myself, but I refuse to leave them while they get hurt." She said.
Alice, seeing an opening with Amelia's distraction, made several Lava-Make dogs to charge the girl. No sooner did they start moving then a loud 'SNAP' ring out and the ground between Amelia and Alice split open and sent both below the ground into the sewer below, though the ground under Amelia fell at a noticeably slower rate. The water in the sewer tunnel, which was much, much colder then it would usually be, caused the feet of the Lava Dogs to quickly turn to stone, obsidian to be exact, and they fell rather quickly, kicking up a lot of steam.
"
You're not in a good place to fight now." Amelia noted.
Phlegethon meanwhile, looked over at Rose.
"
If you wish to fight Miss Yashia, you may fight this man. But I will back you up, so that you don't get hurt too much." The armored spirit said.
Jamie shifted, looking down to make sure Amelia was okay, sighing softly when the girl appeared fine. Jamie supposed that that was that, and she stepped away from the girls, keeping them protected in a wind cube, fighting the time was over to merely stand and watch.
"what say you Rose, shall we show the wrath of women when their children are threatened? Phelgethon, I'd much prefer if you'd watch the girls or help Amelia. Rose and I can handle a man" Jamie said, almost making a gesture that was generally considered rolling up ones sleeves. Instead, Jamie gripped her blade.
"As a spirit summoner, it is safer to stay behind those who aren't summoners like me." Rose answered gently to Amelia with a smile as she looked towards the spirit
"I have been easily recognize as a S rank mage But I choose to stay A rank for my daughter...getting hurt makes me stronger but I will accept your help. However, I believe you would be better watching the children as I think Jamie is itching to fight" replied Rose to the spirit listening to Jamie's request as she nodded in agreement thinking the same thing as she looked towards the big guy as she smirked
" you remind me of my father in size but he's a lot bigger and way stronger
..So you must learn your lesson." Rose said to the bigger enemy as she backed up a few steps before she charged forward jumping into the air to be eye level with her enemy while she lifted a hand as her shadows formed a huge black hammer three times her size.
"Shadow hammer!" she yelled swinging the hammer down using her momentum behind the attack as she twisted, landing on her feet only to dash forward right after her attack, sending another strike upward under the man's guard; using his stature and movement against him.
The man raised his hammer to block the attack as he was shoved back a few feet from her attack. He quickly recovered raising his hammer to attack only to get a firm strike to his torso. He dug his feet into the ground as he smirked managing to resist being taken back.
Rose moved away from her attack at a distance
"He's a brick wall."she commented having her hammer retreat back in her shadows.
Phlegethon looked over at Rose and Jamie as the women approached. Sensing their want for a fight, the knight silently moved away as Rose attacked, stopping in front of Sam and Elyse, the latter of whom had her eyes closed and was obviously afraid.
Meanwhile, Joseph smiled at Rose's comment of him being a brick wall. Without saying a word, the man stomped his foot, causing the stone underneath Rose and Jamie to shot up and try and hit both women under the shin in an attempt for an easy knock out and an easier kill as a result of their defenselessness.
Down in the sewers, it was a battle of water and lava, as Alice sent wave after wave of Lava-Make constructs at Amelia, who was using her water spirit
Undine to sent waves of frigid water at the constructs and turn them to stone while her earth elemental bombarded the maker mage with attacks from every angle using the stone around them.
Jamie chuckled, "Brick walls can tumble down, like anything else" she said, and with quick work, Jamie dashed towards the man. If magic wouldn't work, or rather work effectively, then Jamie would merely tire the man out.
At the attempt to knock them back, Jamie threw out her hands, property change causing a massive wind to crash down, preventing any large pieces from hitting them. And that was all the chance Jamie needed, directing the property change to slam the pieces of rock towards Hammer man.
And then she charged, darting forwards, hoping to get in with a quick injury with her blade.
Sam, seeing Elyse's distress, ,wrapped her arms around the younger girl, hugging her close. Sam herself wasn't really afraid, remembering the times before things like this had happened, watching her mother.
"
Exactly...I can't stand brick walls."she replied following after Jamie as her shadow formed a few steps getting her above the giant as she reformed her huge hammer coming down at the man's head right after Jamie's attacks hoping to finish this quickly
Joseph growled as the wave of rocks hit him, raising him arms to block them. He counted Jamie's sword strike by slamming his foot on the ground and causing the earth underneath Jamie to flip around, slipping Jamie into the sewer water below just as one of Undine's waves passed by. He countered Rose's Shadow Hammer by swinging his hammer to intercept hers, grunting at the effort to keep hers in place.
Against Alice, Amelia was realizing she had made a mistake by summoning so many powerful spirits. Her magical energy was draining quickly to sustain Golem, Undine, and Phlegethon. It wasn't much longer before she completely ran out after she realized this fact and her opponent smiled with glee as Amelia fell to her knees and her spirits vanished.
"
Seems like someone pushed themselves too far." Alice said before summoning a large lava-make dog, which quickly dashed towards the young girl. "
Time to make you regret everything."
Amelia could do nothing but raised her arms, which the hound's jaws clamped down on, causing Amelia to let out a scream of pain. The hound quickly tossed Amelia out of the opening above them and followed after, stalking towards it's prey, intent to kill.
"
And to think, everyone else is to busy to save you." Alice said, a viscious smile on her face as she got out of the sewer and waited for her hound to finish her opponent off.
"OI! Not everyone mate!" answers a voice with a cockney accent.
If Alice were to turn to her left, she would see a figure removing his hood, revealing to be the lizardman Dreadlin Nauss! After talking to Grane, he decided to head to the GMG to watch some of the games and maybe talk to the council member. However, he appeared to stumble across the fight between several mages, two good and two bad. While he was said to keep off of trouble by the other lizardman, Dreadlin couldn't let those friendly mages, Amelia and Jamie get killed by these savages. Already getting pissed off, he furiously points at the offending mages
"Pick on someone yer own size ya little tom tits! Don't make me come over and give ya'll a good scrappin'!"Jamie twisted, slamming down onto stable ground now as she quickly adjust the environment with property change, taking out a lacrima, she threw it towards her opponent, lightening sparking as the lacrima broke. She only had a handful of lacrima on her, and wished for Jarvis.
She followed it up by slashing with her blade
"Come on big boy, Can't you do more to small me.."She said pushing against his hammer to flip back against a wall before she pushed off striking towards Joseph once more just using the momentum between her and his attacks to just make hers stronger without much effort. It has been ages since Rose actually had to fight against someone and put effort. She always tried avoiding conflict for many reasons but this moment, Elyse's and Sam's safety were first priority. If she had to venture back to her dark-self to protect the girls briefly, then that is just the way it has to be.
Alice looked over at Deadlin and was very unimpressed.
"
Oh, an overgrown lizard. Shame, but you won't be saving any of these three." She said before snapping her fingers, causing two things to happen at the same time. The first was the lava-make hound snapping it jaws down to try and pierce Amelia's throat. The second, and the more obvious of the two, was the ground erupting from under Elyse and Sam as a giant lava-make serpent broke the surface and immediately went to eat the two children, getting a scream of absolute fear from Elyse.
Joseph smiled as he took Rose and Jamie's combined assault, being pushed back several feet. He then slammed his hammer down on the ground, sending shock waves through the street, causing buildings to collapse and forcing them to also begin falling towards all three of the children, endangering Elyse, Sam, and Amelia even more.
Rose watched his attack as she pushed off once again when the ground shaked and the buildings collasped"
Elyse! Sam!"Called Rose landing next to them as she held up her hands "
Shadow Dome...Rider... If your still here, take him down please..."She called over the crashing sounds as her bubble covered her and the two little girls as she grunted some from the weight of the buildings bearing down on her temporary dome trying to crush them as she took deep breaths to calm herself.
Dreadlin frowns when being called an overgrown lizard. Some humans these days just can't accept a lizardman like him. Hence why he and his kind live on a remote village far from these urban places. However, now was not the time to sulk. If he just stands around he'll just watch them die! Thankfully he was a superior fighter himself with some magic tricks up his scaly sleeve. He bolts towards Alice with his right arm glowing in magic power.
"Kaiju Soul: TAIL OF THE FIRE BEAST!"And with that his tail turns into what appears to be a blade, a crude-looking one to say the least, but quite organic and still very sharp. Not to mention it was glowing red-hot with fire. And with a powerful swipe, he attempts to slice Alice with this attack, causing at least some superior knock back and burns if not slicing her in two.
Fury rose in Jamie, a rapid wave of anger, horror and fear. She spun, dancing backwards as she quickly reassessed the situation. Rose had the children. And this time, Jamie wasn't hurt. She could protect Sam, and Elyse.
"use your teleportation lacrima! Get them to safety!" she said to Rose, and Jamie once more attacked the big man, fury fueling her attacks as she leaped forward, slashing, slicing, poking and skewering in rapid movements, going faster and faster as she sought to bring the big man down,
"you will not harm my children!" she hissed out, shifting every time the man sought to unstable her balance, using property change the minute the hammer hit the ground.
Joseph grunted and he blocked and dodged Jamie's assaults as best as he could, though Jamie's sword was finding it's way to hit him several times. He was relying on the hammer purely for defense now and used his feet to send projectiles or shift the ground to disrupt Jamie's series of attacks.
Alice reacted quickly to Dreadlin's attack, summoning up a large lava-make hawk which grabbed his tail and began lifting him into the air, to take the interloper out of the fight. It didn't get far before something sliced it in half as well as the hound just before it could kill Amelia off.
"
You know Jamie, you're really shit at protecting your older daughter." A voice called out, from above. Lucus was hovering in the air, looking more then a little piss off. Turning towards where Rose was, he held out a hand. "
Susano'o's Wrath."
Two tornados formed on either side of Rose's barrier, around the buildings, the wind picking up to the point that it began destroying the stone and causing it to collapse on either side of said barrier without falling on top of it. Once it was safe, Lucus landed in front of Rose.
"
It's safe now Rosey. Well, safer." He called out.
Rose opened her eyes seeing Jamie go after Joseph "
We are not Leaving you and Amelia here Jamie...We have a wonderful day planned and I an not going to spend it running away with two small girls and leaving you and Amelia alone." She said before sensing a familiar source of magic soon seeing the source "
Of course, Mr. Casanova appears out of the blue...Don't call me Rosey, Its Rose, Lucus." She said letting her dome down once the rubble was removed as she checked to make sure Sam and Elyse were safe. "
You two stay near the silver haired man...he will protect you. Me and Jamie has a bone to pick with the big guy." She told the girls before she stood back up looking at Lucus "
Watch them real quick, this will be over." She replied darting towards Joseph forming a black scythe from her shadows before she also struck in fury at Joseph, keeping up with Jamie's owns strikes as she was ready for this to end,
Jamie hadn't been worried about Amelia, the girl had been holding her own, and she had been sure that if anything went wrong, Ellis would be there to protect Amelia as well. Jamie supposed she had misjudged things, and really didn't need to be told off by someone who had treated his own daughters mother badly.
"I take my eye of her for one minute" she spat back at Lucas, shifting once again and using property change to smooth the street once more. It was clear the continual is if that magic was beginning to wear on Jamie, but she would not stop.
Finally, she hit the hammer hand, slashing deeply enough, she hoped, to do some serious damage, following it up with a quick slash towards the throat. She risked looking away for a moment to see that Amelia was safe, feeling guilty she hadn't been able to protect her, feeling like no matter what she did, she failed as a mother.
Somehow this lava hawk was able to grip onto Dreadlin's fire sword and was able to lift him up into the air! But before it could take him any farther, something else sliced it in half, which happens to be a new challenger within their midst. With that, he was released and with Alice seemingly distracted, he heads into melee hand-to-hand combat, pausing his sword and began to rapidly punch and kick the woman with superior force and speed. With one more punch, he would push her towards a wall with enough force to perhaps make a crater. The lizardman looks up at the newcomer nods as a signal of the man's gratitude. He looks at the other opponents and growls animalistically, ready to have at them at a moment's notice.
"
Daddy!" Elyse shouted, hugging her father, who picked her up and held her close while moving over to Sam and placing a hand on her head. "
Your a very brave girl, you know that."
Alice, infuriated at how things where going, could do little to stop Dreadlin's onslaught and was pushed against and into the building behind her. Coughing a bit, she looked at the lizardman and growled.
"
Mythic Lava-Make: Dragon!" She said as her magical energy skyrocketed. Around her, lava began forming and taking the shape of the gigantic beast, Alice laughing manically the entire time. "
Now, burn them. Burn them all!"
The dragon responded in the most appropriate manner, opening it's jaw and pouring a torrent of lava onto the street.
"
Well, this is gonna be bad for magic's reputation." Lucus muttered, having to censor his words around his daughter. He quickly put up a barrier of wind around himself, Sam, and Elyse, as well as Amelia.
Joseph, having taken the brunt of Rose and Jamie's assault and now being heavily injured, quickly raised the ground under him to get to the roof of a nearby building, panting as he tried to assess the situation. Alice had lost it and was as much of a threat to him as she was everyone else there. It was probably best he retreat, especially given the skills and powers of his current opponents. Grunting to himself, he turned to try and leave, done with this battle.
Jamie took out a prison lacrima as the big man tried to run, taking precise aim, she threw it at the gaint, but didn't wait to see if he was encased within, as she spun about, using property change to essentially submerge the area around the dragon in water.
She stepped back, figuring that water damage was much easier to deal with then lava damage, she continued with the property change assault, leaving the girls, and Lucas free of the onslaught, taking Rose with her.
Jamie may have been a little pale, but she stood strong, watching to see if submerging the lava worked.
Sam looked up at Lucas and blinked.
"It's easy to be brave when you know things will be okay" she seemed Unphased at what was going on, as she spoke
Rose stopped her onslaught when jospeh got out of range as she attention turned to the girl as she sighed "
Dragon...really...why does everyone go for the dragon look, so overused." She complained feeling a headache starting as she watched Jamie submerge the dragon with water "
If I remember right, you can harden the dragon with water since water cools lava which if memory serves correct, lava is a mixture of earth and fire...or something like that...land is made by mixture of lava and water over thousands of years." She said running towards the dragon "
Shadow stairway." She said as her shadow formed a few stairs in front and behind her moving in the direction she did "
This way Jamie." She commented making sure Jamie could follow as stairs disappeared after each past step and reformed for each step forward as she was just going to try to make her way to the girl to end this.
Joseph was no fool and raised a wall of earth to block off persuers, which in turn blacked Jamie's lacrima
"
True, lava can be cooled by water, but you know something else?" Alice said "
Lava evaporates water."
What she said was evident by the huge amount of steam coming from where the water touched the dragon. The lava-make construct roared while looking towards Jamie and Rose. In a split second, it's head would snap forward and attempt to bite the two but Lucus summoned a barrier of wind between the beast and the two woman, grunting at the effort it took to keep it at bay.
"
Finish it quick before it starts actually melting the town." He suggested.
As Dreadlin watches as Alice begins to evaporate the water that was fired on it. With his sword still in tact and available to use, the lizardman wastes no time as he leaps towards Alice, bouncing off her head as he lunges towards the lava dragon.
"GO TO HELL YOU BLOODY DRAGON!" he roars as he swiftly swipes his sword at the creature's neck.
Weather it would decapitate it or do nothing, Dreadlin was already cooking another ability that he's been meaning to use for awhile. His eyes, already growing a venomous yellow, begin to hint at this...
Jamie followed Rose, but as the water started to evaporate, Jamie stopped. She created another property change, bringing forth more water, as she took out one last lacrima.
"if you get me as close to the girl as possible, I can use the prison lacrima" She said softly to Rose
"
That won't be a issue...Do you mind flying....Hey Lucas can you make multiple tornados near the pyromaniac lady." Called Rose after hearing Jamie as she continue to move forward hoping to give Jamie many possible options to getting to Alice to finish her off
"
I could but not for very long. Especially if you expect me to keep protecting the kids." Lucus said
Alice smirked from her position, finding how her opponents were struggling to be very delightful. A little bit longer and she would win this fight. But she could afford to play a bit longer. Why miss out on a chance at some fun.
Jamie gave a sigh. She gripped the lacrima, and then took a few steps, running forward.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine" Well, at least she hoped so. She leaped, pleased to have judged the distance right, crashing into Alice, she twisted and slammed the lacrima against the girl,
"Game over"Alice cursed, spotting Jamie a moment too late and being unable to dodge the resulting tackle. Preparing to crush the guild leader under her dragon's foot, even if she got hurt in the process. However, before she could, she began feeling the effects of the prison lacrima and began trying to fight it off. Realizing she wouldn't be able to succeed she decided to give Jamie something to think bout before leaving.
"
Hope your little guild is ready for when the real threat arrives." She said before vanishing.
Jamie landed smoothly on the ground as Alice disppeared, and looked down at the lacrima in her hand.
"Which one? There's several. But we shall be prepared. We always are" She let out a breath, and then looked over at the others, grimacing at the damage to the streets, before approaching Amelia, Sam and Elyse, wishing to assure herself they were okay.
"Everyone alright?"Lucus set Sam down, letting the girl run over to her mother is she wished while she moved over to Rose so Elyse could be with both her parents and calm down a little faster.
Amelia stirred and sat up, groaning as she held her head. She looked exhausted and simply stayed where she was, too tired to even move right now.
Jamie gave Sam a hug, before approaching Amelia, as she hadn't responded, crouching by the girl when she got to her. With barely a grunt of Effort, Jamie scooped Amelia up into her arms.
"You did well. I'm sorry, I should have helped you""
Not your fault... I was too weak." Amelia said, resting her head against Jamie. She smelled slightly of sewer and her shirt was a bit singed but otherwise the young girl seemed to be unharmed.
"You are not weak. If I thought you were, I wouldn't have let you leave my sight." Jamie said, as she rose, intending to go back to the hotel so they could all clean up
Rose walked down to the ground from where she stood once Jamie had finished off the nut case that wanted to attack them out of the blue. She dusted off her dress before seeing lucas approach her as she smiled accepting elyse before hugging him and giving him a quick peak on the cheek.
"Always like the wind, always popping up when help is needed...Thanks for helping us, we really didn't need it. Me and Jamie would have been fine defeating those two but I am happy you were near by to assist...just like the old times." She said to Lucas as she hugged Elyse.
"Are you alright? Mommy, Daddy, and Jamie made the bad people go away.""
If I wasn't here, little Amelia might be dead though." Lucus said as Elyse hugged her mother with a virtual deathgrip and began crying, her fear finally catching up to her.
"
But I wasn't able to finish off my opponent. You and Miss Rose had to do that." Amelia mumbled.
"You might be right but I am sure even if she did not have the strength to summon a spirit, I am sure, her mother would have formed to protect her...those spirits are truely amazing things and how well she can summon and actually have them help...sometimes even I would feel scared to fight her if she was ticked.."Said rose holding elyse close letting her let her fear out as she watched jamie and Amelia.
Jamie stiffened as Lucas spoke. She let out a breath in a slow hiss,
"might being the operative word." She looked back down at Amelia,
"Yes, that's so. But we really didn't do much more the finish her off. And the fact is, we have had more time to gather power and to know how to use it. the fact that you withheld so long, survived, and did enough damage to hold her down, shows just how strong you are.""Why do you have to make my mother feel bad?" Sam asked, looking up at Lucas, her eyes narrowed as if she wasn't 3 and a half feet tall, and could kick butt.
"
I'm not trying to make your mother feel sad Sammy. I just state things based off what I see and hear. And in this case, your sister was nearly killed because she was out of magical energy and your mother's concentration was elsewhere at the time. I'm not lying, simply pointing out how things were." Lucus said.
Amelia simply groaned as she closed her eyes again, still exhausted and feeling like she had just ran a giant marathon.
"
Just be nice Lucus...Jamie is only one person. Even you couldn't do all she does so be nice to my guild master." she said.
"She doesn't just worry about her children, but others as well! And she had to worry about rose too! You weren't here throughout the whole thing, so don't just assume! Don't make a judgement when you don't know everything!" Sam replied in an angry tone, before trotting of after Jamie, looking up as if to assure herself that Amelia was okay.
Lucus sighed, seeing that both Jamie and Sam were determined to paint him as a villain somehow. Seriously, that woman could hold a grudge and probably pursue it after the person was dead. Turning back to Rose, he shrugged and looked around.
"
I will not deny she us extraordinarily talented, but she isn't flawless either. That just makes it harder for her when she screws up." He said
