[IC] "Shadows of the Past", a Warcraft Roleplay

[rivaan]

Mei had stopped midway of collecting weapons to throw when she heard the voice of the night elf captain.” Ohh great…” She muttered, throwing a look outside. This was just what they needed! The insane night elf captain to fight the giant demoness in the middle of Stormwind! Actually what was she even thinking, even Serphia alone wouldn’t really stand too much of a chance against the new demon, despite being in full battle equipment. Then again Malizia was turn into demon right now so she wouldn’t know how to use those skills just yet.

“Ohhhh the Naaru protect me…” She finally said, taking a 180 degree turn. There were just so many things she could do right now. Throwing spears at the giant Malizia while it would hurt for Mei’s throwing strength was pretty of the charts, it wouldn’t really deal with the situation.

“Vashi!” Mei suddenly called as she returned to her most favorite night elf in the whole of Azeroth. There were few things the berserker could do from her current position… keyword here being current! She needed a change of location!

“Vashi, I need you to teleport me…” The draenei would said and leaned in, whispering her desired location into the night elf’s ears.

Meirie had one goal, to stop Malizia in her tracks, she’d need to either cause extreme damage… or… go berserk on Malizia’s head! She had once pulled this trick with another big deamon and it works! She needed her cute little nelfie to transport her right on top of Malizia’s hair form which she could show the new demon a whole new world of pain…

“Can you do it?” She asked Vashi.” Because the alternative of that plan is to leave your captain in 1v1 with Malizia until master Sharon finally deals with this… FAILURE of unspeakable proportions…”

"Well there is also the option of enlarging me, but since there is no potion for that ready and I'm pretty sure no magic user here can cast that spell, it's impossible to persue that option!"

[Feychild]

“Ehhh…”

Kathlin glanced around to assess her options. Right above her head, one gigantic demon…dranei…thing. To her left, angry Night Elves. To her right, Liaena also in hiding, making very obvious shooing motions at her. “Yes, thank you. It’s easier said than done”
“Ugh….” The demon rolled her eyes, before bending down towards Kathlin in a quick pounce. “Let’s take this somewhere else, sweet-thing”

“Nooo…no no no no! Thank you” Kathlin gasped as she scrambled around the overturned wooden structure, trying to squirm out of the way of Malizia’s fingers. Summoning a faintly growing orb of Light, the demon squealed as it was tossed at her hands. “Hey!”

“OI! GIANT DEMON DEATH KNIGHT!”

Liaena yelled, having abandoned her hide-out to stand on top of a garden chair. Normally, this would add to her height significantly. Given the other occupants of the garden, this was very much a losing battle. “YOUR INTENDED WISHES YOU TO PROVE YOUR LOVE BY DEFEATING HER FOE! THE NIGHT ELF CAPTAIN SERPHIA! ….RIGHT!?”

“What?”

“….”

“Oh. Yes…yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea!” Kathlin said weakly. She had at this point managed to anchor herself somewhere where the large sausage fingers were having trouble stretching in to. It was presumably only a matter of time before Malizia realised it was easier to tear the entire contraption apart. “Yes! I’d love it if you took care of her for me. I’ll…uh, watch. From over here”

“For the Light’s sake, that potion is wasted on her. I’d have that thing eating out of my hand by now” Liaena grumbled as she slithered back down behind the wheelbarrow. In all of the mayhem, the girl had found herself quite close to the garden well, which she now gave an appraising look. “I wonder if Sharon’s secret stash is still intact”

….

Worst comes to worst, they’ll make excellent Molotov’s.

[Rithy]

"Yeeeeehh.... nooooo.... how about I kick your midget butt over into Kalimdor instead?!"

Malizia's fel green eyes were seething and burning as she narrowed one demonic eye on the lone figure of Liaena, fully prepared to throw both her and her filthy lies to the other continent... until she suddenly heard the beautiful, melodic voice of Kathlin suddenly affirm every truth in the dark haired midget's voice!

"Really??!" Malizia gasped, her head snapping back to stare back down at where Kathlin was hiding with wide eyes of disbelief!

Said gasp would soon turn into that of a big, shit eating grin however, as she slowly but surely moved her head around to stare down at the figure of Serphia closer to the back entrance of Sharon's mansion.

" ... that shouldn't be a problem!!"

Two of her fellow sentinels had gathered around Serphia, one at each side, as if to show off their support to their brave Captain as she stood staring straight up at the giant demoness, hands on her hips and steel in her eyes. However, as soon as said giant demoness suddenly turned around, only to loom over the trio with burning, fel green eyes; the two sentinels that had stood by Serphia's sides exchanged some concerned looks, before quickly stepping back and away to a safe distance from Serphia!

"I gave you a chance, bitch... " Serphia added with a cold tone as she grinded her fists together, staring back up at Malizia.
"But now it's too late!"

*CRASH*

As Malizia slammed a big, red palm of a hand down into the ground where Serphia had just stood; the Captain would suddenly dodge to the left in a surprising show of agility, before stepping onto said hand and running up along the demoness's giant arm!

"HIIIYYAAAAAAAHHH!

*

"Weeelll... " Vashi muttered, a finger raised to stroke her chin.
"It isn't entirely... wait, LITHRI!"

"I'm supporting the Captain here!"

"Come down here!!!"

"Whaat??!"

"COME DOWN!!"

Vashi called out, as Lithrielle's head soon would poke out from one of the nearby stairwells as she looked at Vashi, still holding the big bag.

"Is that Nali's... "

"Yes!"

"Let me see that!"

Motioning for Lithrielle to bring the bag, Vashi would open it up and peer into the large, flower patterned bag. After diving her head into its mysterious contents for a couple of seconds, she'd pull out and turn to Lithrielle.

"Alright, Lithi, I'm going to need one Ashenroot, One Lesser Potion of Geometri,- "

One glance at Lithrielle's blank face would make Vashi suddenly shake her head, before pulling out a miniature scroll and beginning to scribble down a list of ingredients with a quill she conjured out of the air.

"Here! Go to the nearby alchemist shop and get me these, and get back ASAP! The Captain, oh, AND ALEENA, is counting on you! ... and leave the bag with me!"

" ... GOTTIT!" Lithrielle responded after taking a quick glance at the note, before dropping the bag with a clank and sprinting out the door.

Turning to Mei, Vashi would crack a smile.

"You know, I think I got a plan! I need you to find me an alchemy still though... you see, I learnt of this old potion 278 years ago... "

*

Outside of the mansion, Lithrielle could be seen frantically running out of the backdoor and across the ruined battlefield/nomansland that had become Sharon's garden, a tiny list in her hand as she ran below and past the giant Malizia as she the colossal Death Knight was struggling with a (relatively) tiny Serphia jumping about her head. All the while making sure to dodge a line of Night Elves as they tried to throw a series of ropes to attach around the giant demon's tail!

"GAAAAHH! GET OFF AND FIGHT ME LIKE A GIRL!!"

"Lithi, help us, we... !"

"SORRY, I'M GOING ON A SHOPPING MISSION, CAN'T TALK!!"

Lithrielle blurted out as she ran past one of the sentinels, nearly crashing into her in her haste, before she leaped over the garden wall to land onto the street outside!

[Sinerathin]

"GAAAAHH! GET OFF AND FIGHT ME LIKE A GIRL!!"

"Just what is going on out there... " From where he was digging his uppers torso into a part of the brass, tin and copper apperatus, the High Elven Mage would rise up and tilt his safety goggles to the side as he glanced towards the big hole in his sanctum.

"Precious, irreparable damage... "

Walking over to the edge of the sanctum, he would glance out into the carnage in the garden outside. Although the black smoke and fel-green motes still hung in the air around the garden and obstructed a good portion of the view, Sharon could still manage to see the massive, towering figure of Malizia as she traipsed around, looking dangerously unbalanced and close to falling over at any moment! Darting across her face was a particularly ill-tempered Serphia, and below, a group of Night Elves trying to tie the demon down with some rope!

"Light knows that's not going to ever work... " Sharon muttered as he reached towards a nearby desk to pick up a large, brass loudspeaker, before holding it up to his mouth.

"LADIES, WOULD YOU PLEASE VACATE THE TARGET? THANK YOU!" Sharon spoke in a casual tone, though through the strange, horned device, it was as if his voice became magnified a thousandfold, as to ring out across the garden like a loud boom!

Squinting his eyes as he placed the loudspeaker back onto its desk, Sharon could see out into the garden a tint of blue smoke starting to appear around the perimeter.
It was the outline of Friedrick that caught his attention, as his trusted butler was moving around in the background of the scene in the garden, placing out a long line of mystical blue bags that seemed to exhume an endless, blue azure smoke up into the air; effectively reinforcing the currently fading black, slightly green smoke carpet with a wall of blue smoke to effectively block the view off from the rest of the neighborhood.

"Hopefully this'll reduce the inevitable questions in the next neighbourly meeting... "

------------------------------------------------------------

"I presume you are having a wonderful day, Lady Rune?" Friedrick would suddenly commented as he passed by Liaena's hiding place, hands full with a pile of closed, blue satchels as he calmly and professionally opened them one at a time as he was lining the perimeter.
"But, I really must warn you, Lady Rune, that sneaking around like that is not good for your clothes."

Friedrick would say as he threw a worried look towards Liaena's clothes, or at least as worried a look as his professional attitude would allow him to make.
"Not to worry though. The two reserve sets I prepared for you as the day's shenanigans started are still in your room and unspoiled by our guests."

*CRASH*

"DIE-DIE-DIE!"

*Cough*

"I also came to warn you, just so you had a heads up that it's soon... "

*ting!*

"LUNCH TIME!"

Miss Collin's voice could suddenly be heard all out across the garden as the slightly pudgy woman called out, having opened one of the windows to peer out, and apparently wondering where more than half of her usually ravenous guests had gone.

Freidrick paused for a moment, before glancing back at Liaena.

"Tea, crumpets, Lemon Cakes and Sandwiches flavored with Dalaran cheese, to be precise... "

[rivaan]

“Seriously…?” Mei asked making a ‘are you kidding me?’ expression.” Alchemy stall? From where am I supposed to find you an alchemy stall, Vashi?” She asked the night elven mage. Those things didn’t simply grown on trees. What’s more the mansion was pretty huge, the thing could be every bloody where!

Mei closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. Then another one and finally opened her eyes at the end of it.” Alright… I will try to find you a still…” She said and turned to start running about the mansion.” Naaru help me…” She mumbled to herself as she dashed.” I so should have stayed back in Northrend… live as an hermit… build myself a cottage in the woods… tame a pet or something… “ She was mumbling to herself as she dashed about the mansion.

Where was she supposed to find an alchemy still from!? “THE BASEMENT!!!” She suddenly exclaimed and dashed towards the hole that was created a while ago when they crashed the floor with Malizia. The draenei quickly jumped down and frantically started hitting the walls as she ran across the place. Vashi had stated there was supposed to be a secret hideout of that alchemist human girl. If that was true, there is supposed to be an alchemy stall sure enough… maybe… hopefully… WHO KNEW!

Well hitting the walls in such speed didn’t really reveal any secret rooms hidden behind the walls, but Mei did almost trip on a box in one of the store rooms in the basement. It sounded… glass… and breakable! She quickly opened the box to reveal a pretty old, probably replaced set of alchemy tools. Beggars can’t be choosers! She picked up the box and started dashing again.

“There you go, hope this one works!” She said and handed the box over to Vashi." most are cracked or broken, but some are still in usable conditioN!"

[Feychild]

“Good to know you’ve got your priorities sorted, Frederick” Liaena gasped as she pulled most of her upper body out of the garden well, almost completely covered with pond filth, mould and other nasties from the waste up. She was also holding onto a large oil-skin sack in a similar state of disrepute which she had apparently just levered out of the well. Frederick gave it a look of polite concern. “An excellent collection, Lady Rune. Some of those vintages have been sourced from another dimension”

“Oh good, maybe our extra-dimensional visitor is already acquainted then” Liaena muttered as she pulled a bottle of whiskey out of the sack to squint at it. “I’ll ask her to write a review…oooh, 70% proof.”

“Although actually, some of that sounded quite good. Breakfast didn’t happen….”

Liaena spared a regretful look at the window Miz Collin’s voice as she sprinted towards the edge of the mansion, to find a drainpipe and start to clamber up the side of the building. Unmolested, Malizia and Serphia happily occupied with each other, the girl didn’t stop until she found a ledge on the 3rd floor that overlooked the scene and at least provided some level of cover.

“Hrm. I forget. Are demons fire-proof?”

Liaena mumbled to herself as she stared down at the carnage. “Come to that – are Night Elves fire proof?”

“….”

“Ah well. We all need to make sacrifices – Captain” the girl commented blithely as she uncorked the bottle of whiskey, and shoved a wad of cloth inside it. Reaching inside her robes for a flint – which she thankfully had not mislaid – to start striking sparks until one finally caught at the fabric. Balancing it in one hand as the flame took hold, Liaena readied herself before almost tossing it casually towards Malizia, where some clothing and armour still clung somehow to the demons skin in spite of the abuse it had suffered. “Just need to get the timing….right”

*FWOOOOSH*

“Hmm. I probably didn’t hold it long enough” Liaena commented as she surveyed her handiwork, with at least some of the Demon’s clothes on fire. The girl reached down for another bottle. “Take two”

[Rithy]

Due to their origin, most demons tended to possess either an immunity to fire, or at the very least a heightened resistance and tolerance to it.

"Huh ... ?"

Unfortunately, this was a fact that did not occur to Malizia when the giant demoness suddenly paused her little game of "try-to-grab-the-little-elfie" as Serphia darted around her torso, only to look down and notice the tiny scraps of clothing still clinging to her body suddenly having caught fire - and burning fiercely!

"Oh my... OH MY!!"

" ... ! FIRE! FIRE!! GET IT OFF-OFF, OFFF!" Malizia suddenly screamed as she realized she was on fire, and began frantically tip-toeing(or tip-hoofing) across the garden!

"Just what do you think you're doing?!!" Shouted one of the Watchers on the roof above Liaena who had been in the middle of drawing an arrow when she had noticed the human girl's shenanigans. Staring down at the girl a level below her, the watcher would give Liaena a dirty look.
"Can't you see Mistress has the situation under control?!"

Serphia, who had grown accustomed to Malizia's slow, cumberstone and predictable 'rationale' moves to catch her, was caught completely off-guard by the sudden jerky, panicked movements from the giant demoness as Malizia began flailing around like mad! The result? Before Serphia even knew what happened, the shoulder she was standing on was no longer below her feet, and instead, the stray back of a big, red arm slapped into her from behind, swatting the Captain away like a bug - her silvery eyes both stunned, surprised, and offering a token glimpse of warning at Liaena standing on the edge of the mansion - before the Captain slammed into a smaller roof of the mansion and fell right through it with a crash!

"Ai-aii-aiaiia!"

Malizia screamed as she jumped around, the tiny figure of Lithrielle visible beneath Malizia as the Sentinel darted across the battlefield that had once been Sharon's garden, dodging any trampling hooves and slipped into the mansion's back door!

In the meantime, Malizia had been wildly clawing at the tiny, burning straps of clothing still left on her body, trying to tear them off! The minor, almost unnoticable discomfort generated by the flames seemed to have been completely ignored by the panicked demoness as she tore off what little clothes she had been wearing, and threw the burning fabric across the garden!

While Draenei were excellent sprinters and possessed great leg strength, they had generally lacked flexibility and balance. A fact that became painfully obvious as the panicked Malizia found herself struggling to regain balance in the confined space of the garden, and was staggering backwards towards the mansion!

"Don't you even as much as think of throwing that secon.... d bottle... ... " The watcher who had begun berating Liaena from the level above suddenly went quiet when she noticed the shadow that had suddenly fallen over them, only to look up to see the giant demoness as she was rapidly falling in their direction.

"GODDESS!! CLEAR THE ROOF!!!"

*

"Thank you!" Vashi beamed as she accepted the box from Mei, just in time as the roof above them suddenly broke!

*CRASH*

Falling like a comet through the woodwork above would be none other than Captain Serphia, as she fell back first down into the corridor in a cloud of dust, landing harshly on the ground just five feet away from Vashi and Mei.

"I... will khh-h-kill... that midget!!" Serphia spoke with staggered breath as the Captain lay on the floor amidst broken planks and dust, seeming to slip in and out of consciousness!

Vashi didn't say a word, instead she stared at the Captain with her mouth wide open in surprise. That was until Lithrielle came running through the corridor, presenting Vashi with another box as she made great efforts to sidestep the Captain!

"I got them, though I had to take some of it, the shopkeeper wouldn't,- "

"Doesn't matter. I'll get to mixing it right away!" Vashi said as she accepted the second box, before turning to Mei.
"Please help the Mistress! We're going to need her in the fight! I'll only need a moment!"

The Night Elven magi explained, before she had already kicked in one of the nearby doors and walked in, shutting it behind her before the sound of crackling electricity and occult chanting could be heard from within. Enough to make Lithrielle throw Mei a worried look as the Sentinel glanced between the Draenei and the door...

[Sinerathin]

There was always something therapeutic about setting together large sets of complicated apperatus and quasi arcane machinery, even if the situation they were in was by all rights a crisis. Still, was he was making the final adjustments to the maze of tin and copper stilts, mirrors and megascopes that now littered his office, Sharon couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility.

"It's good to see that my handiwork hasn't decreased in quality since I last built the hexagonal quantum displacement conduit back in Dalaran. Ahh, good times... "

However, there was one teeny weeny fact that did suddenly take Sharon's attention away from his project.

Noticing that the natural light in the room was suddenly disappearing around him, Sharon lifted up his goggles to throw a quizzical look around. There was a trembling in the floor, one that was growing louder and stronger by every second, as if something big and terrible was coming their way!

"This isn't good!"

Rushing over to the half broken windows of his sanctum and grabbing his staff along the way, he could see the giant backside of Malizia rapidly approaching the north side of the mansion was the giantess was clumsily stepping backwards! He also heard someone call out to evacuate the roof.

"ANUN E'DELEORA ARYTH!!"

With vivid images of bills, property damage and reparations flashing across his eyes, Sharon raised his staff in a desperate effort to create a kinetic field around Malizia that, while probably not enough to prevent all damage, would at least lessen the impact of the giant demoness that was just about to fall onto the north wing of the house!
A surge of stillness suddenly passed through the air behind the mansion and around Malizia, taking much of the momentum out of the giantess, as her shadow closed in.

However, as his eyes passed the side of the northern mansion, Sharon's eyes would suddenly widen as he saw the familiar figure of a black haired girl right in Malizia's path; Liaena!

"LIAENA, GET OUT OF THERE!" Sharon called out. Unsure what to do, he proceeded to point his silver battlestaff towards Liaena, as he cast a Boon of Swiftness on the girl, doubling her speed and movement for a short amount of time!

He had never cast such a spell on Liaena before, and as the giant rear of a giant demoness was descending towards her, there was no time to explain either. Hopefully her new speed wouldn't become too confusing to the little girl...

[rivaan]

‘I have no idea what’s what anymore…’ Mei thought as Vashi left them in the room, supposedly expecting the draenei to help her captain. The berserker sighed and rolled her eyes as she went to indeed help Serphia.” Might as well do it.” She stated as she kneeled by the night elf captain to examine her state.

“Nothing seems… broken…” She muttered after doing to simple test across the limbs of Serphia. She even checked her ribs just in case. Broken rib could easy puncture internal organs if left unchecked, but it seemed there was no danger of that in this case. Serphia was indeed as sturdy as night elves could be.” Heck… she’s probably sturdier than most draenei even.” Meirie mused as she finished her brief examination. Her sixth sense was kicking in, warning that something really bad was going to happen though.

“She’s fine… she’s just in shock from the fall and crashing through the floors and roof. A little bit of a rest and she’d be back on her feet.” The berserker stated and was just about to stand up when she heard some screaming.

It was Sharon’s voice, screaming at the human girl to get away from somewhere…” What are they doing…?” She wondered and jumped hastily towards the nearby window only to see what the mage was shouting about.

“For Naaru’s sake… You’ve got to be kidding me!” Mei shouted, realizing why her instincts were warning her to run.” GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS!” She shouted to the sentinel as she dashed backwards towards the deeper parts of the room, grabbing the captain’s hand and pulling her away with her.

WHY WAS THERE A GIANT DEMON ABOUT TO IMPACT IN THE SIDE OF THE BLOODY BUILDING!? What was going on in this city? She’s seen no such insanity nowhere on the front lines in her years of fighting!

[Feychild]

“Why does this always seem to happen?”

So were Liaena’s thoughts as the large rear end of Malizia plummeted towards her, a scene she had witnessed before on many, many unhappy occasions….although usually the hindquarters were purple. The split second observation was accompanied by diving for cover, although the rump was far too big and her position far too central for the move to prevent her being crushed.

Except in this instance, it did. Adrenaline flowed through her body and Liaena found herself flying backwards, much too fast, straight through the room and the doorway only to crash into the corridor wall opposite. Behind her, there was a much louder crash as Malizia’s butt carved away most of that room and quite a lot of the northern flank of the mansion, before landing on the ground and continuing to scream and writhe around on the ground. Fortunately or not, the slush was doing a decent job of putting the flames out.

“K-kitty? Don’t tell me you were under that” Liaena muttered as she edged to the doorway, now being the edge of the building, to survey the carnage below. “….She should be able to shield at least”

“YOU!”

“….yes, me”
The girl grumbled as she about-turned, to give Litherielle the evil eye. The sentinel was glaring daggers back, as Vashi and the Draenei from earlier carted an unconscious Serphia along to lay her gently on the floor. “You ruined Mistress’s grand victory! This is all your fault!”

“Oooh yes obviously, inconveniencing the person who summoned the damn thing makes it all my fault”

“Let me have a look at her” Liaena said instead as she rushed over to check Serphia’s vitals. This movement took a fraction of a moment for her to travel down the corridor, which made the girl pause in her tracks. “Huh”

Shaking her head to return to the present, Liaena stared to mimic Mei’s actions from earlier as she poked and prodded the Night Elf. “Nothing seems broken. She’s probably just winded. Just let me….”

“….”

“...Oh yeah” the girl said as she studied the empty space at her side, having reached for her satchel only to find empty air. Sparing a glare at Serphia, the girl surveyed her surroundings for inspiration before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Y’know, I could really get used to this”

Back again, it was unclear maybe how far she had actually travelled but now a full bath tub was now trailing after her. “Fredrick really is very dedicated, but unfortunately it’s gotten cold. However…”

Glancing around, the girl met Mei’s eyes with a smirk. “Now she may be a little tetchy after this, so I may not stick around. I’m sure you understand”

“Sure…”

-SPLOOSH-

*zoom*

“heh” Liaena chuckled at the distant roar of fury behind her. Now standing in another part of the building entirely, the girl took a moment to dust herself down ostentaciously before zipping back towards the garden. “Oh Sharon. Love you.”

[Rithy]

A creaky door in the ruined hallway would slowly open, groaning as it did. However, the door would not swing more than one fourth of the way out until its hinges decided that they had had enough commotion for their warranty, and the door promptly fell flat - revealing a dusty and slightly puzzled Vashi standing behind it, holding two small crystal vials in her hands.

"Uhhhm... the alchemy still got broken." Vashi started with a cautious tone as she watched across the other occupants in the corridor, Liaena having long since disappeared cue Sharon's successful magical attempt at increasing the human girl's inability to stand still by at least a thousandfold.
"But, I still finished the mixture! It's raw, but it SHOULD do the trick. Nali had most of the things I needed."

Vashi smiled as she stepped out into the room and eyed the rest of the occupants. Meirie, Lithrielle, and...

*Groan*
"I will... killh, that,-"

Quickly swallowing her instinctive fear at the purple pile in front of her that was none other than Captain Serphia as the Captain was already working on getting onto her feet, Vashi would rush forward to loom (however temporarily!) over her

"Mistress! Mistress! I bought something that would put you on an equal level with the nasty tentacl,- "

Vashi paused, one quick look at Mei enough to make her reconsider what her indoctrinated mind had been taught to say.

" ... the nasty demoness outside!"

"GIVE ME THAT!"

Serphia suddenly exclaimed as she snatched the potion from Vashi's hand, and had already gotten up and begun walking outside, clenching the potion in both of her hands as she growled under her breath.

"I am going to MURDER that oversized half-octopus BITCH! I am going to PLOUGH HER ASS IN THE DIRT, and give her the HONOR of tasting the BEDROCK of the Elune cursed trade district! I am going to roundhouse, kill, destroy... LITHRI!"

"YES, MISTRESS?!!?"

"Get the girls The HUNT is on!"

As Serphia's voice trailed off, Lithrielle following closely behind her, Vashi turned towards Mei and slowly extended the other light green vial to her.

"You can have this one. Just in case. I'm pretty sure it has no side effects, buuuut... you can do with it as you will!"

...

"Also, mind the little human girl. There's no telling what she might do if she gets her hands on this!!"

*

"Oopsie... that was not intended!" Malizia muttered as she looked about, and down, to notice that her rather well endowed red butt had turned one of the second floor dining rooms of the mansion into a veritable chair for her as she was literally sitting in the mansion!

Aside from some minor splinters, it didn't feel like she had hit someone... though she almost wasn't sure if that'd not just been more fun...

"ALRIGHT YOU OVERSIZED HALF-ORC!!"

Malizia's peaceful sitting would however be short lived as Serphia, accompanied by at least eight other sentinels, Lithrielle among them, marched out into the garden with long, fast strides - the Captain's silvery eyes literally burning as she glared up at the giant Draenei.

"My WILL is truth! And I will not tolerate you belittling me, or my warband, ANY LONGER! PREPARE YOURSELF!"

Serphia roared as she received a rather befuzzled look from Malizia as she stepped forward from the rest of her warriors, stripping off her already minimalistic armor as she did so before holding up the potion, and downing it in one long gulp - always making sure to NEVER take her eyes off Malizia!

...

"What's wrong? Why's mistress simply standing there?"
"I dunno, I thought something big was about to happen!"

...

*BUURP*

Without a warning, Serphia suddenly felt her body let out a loud, stomach deep belch! As the ashen haired Night Elf raised a surprised hand up to cover her mouth, she had only just manged to blink in surprise... until the world suddenly seemed very, very small... ?

Behind her, the gathered group of Sentinels watched in a combination of awe and horror as their stark naked and nefarious officer suddenly grew to a tremendous size, suddenly towering more than fifty feet into the air! There was a moment of disbelief among the warriors, before a few cautious cheers soon followed as they stared up at the massive Serphia towering above them - though from their angle, most of their view consisted of Serphia's big butt.

"NOW I will rain righteous fury down upon your accursed hide, BITCH!" Serphia roared, only pausing to glance down at the now tiny band of sentinels behind her.
"Cover my rear, girls. It's time to KICK ASS!"

As her small cadre of still sober warriors raised their arms to cheer at their mistress, whether from inspiration or just sheer terror of their now gigantic officer, Malizia would be kick to raise to her feet, raising her wings as she prepared to charge forth at her new rival!

"Ohhh, now it's ON!"

Malizia exclaimed with a surge of enthusiasm as the giant demoness suddenly surged forward with a surprising amount of speed, head lowered in a charge!

[Sinerathin]

"Finally, this beauty is finally ready for the second salvo!"

Sharon proclaimed as she slapped the last copper seal shut on the fel crystal containment capsule, taking a good few steps back to simply admire his handiwork.

"Now, the probability of a giant-demonic-occurrence should have been significantly reduced, and we should get a proper translocational event upon initiation!"

He said to himself as he began to push against the side of the large telescope, in order to angle towards the last known direction of Malizia in the garden. However, as he finished turning it, the High Elf would almost jump out of his boots as he heard the overbearing voice of Serphia suddenly rumble through the entire mansion!

"Good light, is that a second monster?!?"

Sharon immediately thought to himself when he heard the voice, before he scurried towards the "new" window in his sanctum, courtesy of the giant Death Knight, and gazed out into the garden.

Perhaps the first thing he saw was a -distinctly familiar- pair of two massive, purple buttocks standing high above the ground. Or, more precisely, none other than Serphia's own giant backside, now on an utterly massive Night Elf that towered over the garden! A little further to his right, Sharon could see a group of eight or so normal sized Night Elves directly behind Serphia, seemingly cheering their beloved Captain on whilst brandishing their weapons.

And to her left... an incoming, giant and demonic Malizia, charging at full speed at Serphia who seemed still busy gloating!

It was not difficult to imagine how this could all go wrong...

"Ahem... " Sharon cleared his throat, as he tried to call out to the giant Serphia's little gang of supporters behind her.

"I am sorry to interfere with the festivities, girls, but I think you should all move! ... like, move right now!"

[rivaan]

“I already… wait.. human… hey!” Mei tried to explain to Liaena that she had already checked the captain’s vitals, but the little human girls seemed way to focused on doing her own thing, not to mention trying to be a way too fast or something. Mei just closed her eyes for a moment and rubbed her temples. The insanity just kept piling more and more since she got dragged to this mansion. Every bloody time things looked like they would be over and done with, something went horribly wrong almost as if someone was playing dice with their fate and continued to roll snake eyes after each 7.

“Hm… where did the human girl went?” She suddenly asked when she opened her eyes and saw no human mad alchemist about. Then she saw the insane human return dragging something she didn’t exactly expect to see. It took mere moments for Mei to realize what Li was planning.” Don’t you… damn!” She exclaimed as she jumped aside to not get dragged… or in this case wet into the problem.” Damn crazy humans…” She mumbled.

Mei had simply decided it was not worth it to get any more serious and attempting to meddle in the situation. If they wanted everything to get way blown out of proportions then she was god damned going to let them do it. She was just a training instructor anyway… not like she was working as a guard anymore. That’s why she simply moved aside and sat down on a nice comfortable remnants of a chair. At least it’s cushion was still intact and soft!

She then looked at Vashi as the adorable night elf appeared holding two vials. Mei rose an eyebrow. “Oh…” She made a realization sound as the captain seemed to grab a potion, Mei had a hunch what exactly it must have been for.

“Thank you.” Mei replied as she reached a hand and took the potion from Vashi, before taking hold of the girl’s wrist and pulling her into sitting position in her lap.” You are not going out there.” The draenei stated, keeping hold of the night elf to stay with her. Her rather good sixth sense and her danger instincts told her outside was going to be a complete chaos before long. Granted soon enough she heard the captain’s rather… bombastic voice at the moment, confirming her suspicions about the potion indeed.

“Wait for it… wait for it…” She said quietly, making Vashi also start to listen for whatever was about to happen. Then moments later Sharon’s voice rang about the place.” There it is. We two will stay here in safe and wait for whatever madness is going outside to be done with.”

"Say, Vashi, what do you like to eat?" The draenei suddenly started askign casual questions out of hte night elf almost as if there was not a battle of giant proportions outside hte mansion.

[Feychild]

“Ohhh….that is just all sorts of copyright infringement”

Liaena thought as she stared out over the garden at the two giantesses ducking it out, before shaking herself briskly to return to reality…such as it was, anyway. “Sharon?”

-zoom- Not in the atrium

-zoom- Not trying to leave through the secret passage. Silly man.

-zoom- Yes, in his den…. ”Sharon!” the girl exclaimed as she skidded to a stop through the door. “We need to go. Your garden is officially trampled to oblivion and your house is next. Did you…”
The girl paused as she took in the assorted paraphernalia around the room from Sharon and Kathlin’s ill-fated experiment, a few shards of crystal scattered around the room. “What…did you open a portal? Did it work?”

….

“Ah.”

After a pregnant pause, Liaena gave Sharon a commiserating smile. “Okay. We need to leave, after destroying the evidence. Serphia’s helping with that”

“RAWWWGH!”

*CRASH*

Liaena ducked instinctively as another shock rippled through the house, as presumably one of the giantesses knocked against the building and sheared off a section of it. “Just as well you had insurance. We’re leaving”

“Er, Liaena…”

“Don’t ‘er, Liaena’ me, we are leaving before either the city guard or Sherpa show up. I’m not sure which is worse” Liaena said sharply as she started to rapidly pull apart the demon-summoning equipment and douse the separate components where they lay on the floor. “It’d be nice if they thought you were dead. I wouldn’t count on it though”

“Liaena….”

Her boyfriend said in a placatory tone that the girl chose to ignore as she fished out her flint to strike a spark, tossing it ably onto the alcohol on the floor that rapidly took alight. Grabbing him by the waist to lift him off the ground slightly, she moved – a maneover that took her skiddying into the atrium again.

“Liaena, Sherpa will likely have agents watching this house. They may be aware of the secret passageways…”

“Oh no doubt” Liaena muttered, before suddenly vanishing again. Where she had been was made readily apparent when she reappeared a moment later with Kathlin in tow, the latter breathless and completely mud splattered. There was suddenly a scream from the garden.
“EEEH! Where did she GO!?”

“Okay, Kitty, dispell the spells preventing teleportation in or out. Sharon, get ready to teleport us out as soon as she's done. I estimate….you have 10 seconds for the demon to stay confused. Get moving” Liaena snapped. Kathlin stared at her, before glancing over at Sharon with a somewhat perplexed smile.
“So are we leaving? I like this plan if you do, Mister Dal’dieb”

[Rithy]

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"OWWWWH!!"

*Crash*
*BOOM*

"Let me introduce you to my little friend, GRAVITY, BITCH!"

"AIII-"
*DROOOHHHMM!!*

Serphia's support team/goon squad had long since given up any attempt at interfering with the fight of the two, giant behemoth currently fighting over the piece of dirt that had once been Sharon's garden! Instead, they had taken up a (relatively) safe distance in the surrounding streets and simply gazed up at the ash cloud covered silhouettes of Serphia and Malizia as the two furious women duked it out in a no-holds-barred beatdown of each other!

In one scene, Malizia charged forward, launching her own head right into Serphia's chest and knocking the gigantic Sentinel Captain into the mansion, promptly making her serve as an oversized wrecking ball that immediately demolished the roof of the east wing!

"Giving up yet, you little troll?"

"You are going to DIE for that!!"

Serphia retaliated by swiping the feet(hoofs) out from under Malizia, the giant red draenei-demon-thingy falling to the ground with a deep rumble! Malizia answered by jumping onto Serphia, only for Serphia to pull one leg back, place her feet up under Malizia's chest, and push back, causing Malizia to go flying up into the air with a scream!

Back at the mansion ground, Sentinels in various states of clothes or stripping could be seen running out of the front door of the mansion, gathering in a small crowd outside in response to the growing fire.

There was an awkward pause among the dozens of drunk and half-sober sentinels that had gathered outside of the mansion as they simply stared dumbfounded at the fire spreading in the second floor, before one of them suddenly stepped forward and raised her stolen mug.

"BEST PARTY EVER!!"

In response to the sentinel, the rest of her sisters raised their fists and cried out as well, jumping up and down with their drinks as they cheered on the burning mansion!
In the background, angry nightsabers could be seen jumping out of windows of the mansion to escape the fire, before running amok in the streets!

"WHOOOO-HOOOO!!"
"YEAAH!!"

...

"So... where do we go now?"

[Sinerathin]

“So are we leaving? I like this plan if you do, Mister Dal’dieb”

The High Elf's gaze passed from the curious, strangely optimistic looking Kathlin over to Liaena, then back again.

"If I said no, I doubt I'd get to the o in that word before Liaena had already dragged me off to Westfall. I'm still not sure if giving her that haste buff was a good idea!"

Sharon privately thought, also unsure whether he should also mention the potential of the spell having taking 1 or 2 years off her life expectancy.

"Come to think of it, I have always wanted a new place closer to the beach... " Sharon muttered, moving one hand up to his chin in a thoughtful expression, before he turned to Liaena and Kathlin, and nodded; all the while instinctively bracing himself in case Liaena should decide to run somewhere with him along!

"Not to speak ill of your skills or anything, but I do believe the barrier I set up is more than a match for a yet so simple apprentice." Sharon said as he glanced over at Kathlin. Though Kathlin had never shown anything but t e best intentions and did seem to have an elevated magical potential despite her simple class, Sharon doubted that her skills were enough to contest with that of a long lived High Elf and esteemed student and teacher at the Dalaran academy of magical sorcery!

"Aran kehn, rahs fuhs." Sharon suddenly muttered, before thumping the butt of his silver staff into the ground two times.

For a moment, a creeping silence ran across the entire mansion like a wave, as the invisible enchantment was dispelled by the utterance of the keyphrase. The only noise was the not-so-subtle noise of the fleeing elves and nightsabers who apparently already had decided it was time to ditch his soon-to-be ex-mansion!

"One of the first things we were taught at the Institute of Enchantment back at Dalaran was to attach a keyphrase, or password if you will, to our *simpler* wards, so that we could more easily unravel them at a moment's notice than have to go through a lengthy ritual of disenchantment."

Sharon explained with a smile as he looked over at Kathlin, apparently enjoying any chance he got to show off his superior magical knowledge!

"Now, I will begin the ritual of teleporta,- thank you, Friedrick."

Sharon interrupted himself to thank Friedrick as the butler seemingly appeared out of nowhere and handed him a Rune of Teleportation, before the High Elf returned to focusing on his ritual.

"This is going to take a few seconds, a minute max... any special destination in mind?" He asked, turning to look over at Liaena with a smile, all the while motioning for them to come closer. However, his confident smile would suddenly fade for a moment, as if the High Elf had just remembered about something.

Turning towards Liaena, he quirked an eyebrow at her.

"Liaena... aren't we forgetting about someone?"

[Rithy]

"Uhmm... " Vashi was slightly taken aback by the Draenei's strangely casual tone, especially when one considered what was going on all around them!
"I had always wanted to try that strange thing the humies refer to as Fish and Chips. I hear it's quite popular around here for some reason!"

Vashi simply answered, occasionally listening out through the mansion and outside. She did not know whether Mei realised it or not, but as she was a Night Elf, she enjoyed a far better hearing than the Draenei could ever possess. As an immediate result, Vashi got to hear practically... everything... that was going on outside between the two giantesses.

"Goddess, why did she even have to go and say that?!!"

Vashi thought with a worried mind as she heard Malizia utter the forbidden words around Serphia. It was enough to convince Vashi that if Serphia had ever had any plans of killing the Draenei quickly, those plans had just faded!

But also, there was a strange odour in the air...

Furrowing her brows and nose, Vashi suddenly cast an inquisitive look at Mei, and then over at the rest of their surroundings.

"Do you... smell that too?"

She asked with an uncertain tone as she landed one silvery eye on Mei, sniffing in the rather ominous coarse, acidic smell that had suddenly entered the air!

[rivaan]

“Is that so?” Mei asked in a slight surprise, but then again human cuisine was somewhat specific around the world. It had a certain aesthetic appeal that many others lacked. Even draenei food had those dishes that unless one was really certain and determined, one couldn’t even try to taste them. Granted every dish was perfected and tasted unique and incredible, but the outer appearance not always could mask the origins of the ingredients.

“I will make those to you later then.” The draenei stated with a smile, gently holding onto the elf sitting in her lap.” The inn I’m staying at has a nice kitchen and the tavern owner has taught me quite a bit about human cuisine, so I would love to prepare you this meal.” The berserker stated with a smile, trying to not really mind the overly loud giants outside the mansion.

“Do not concern yourself with the Man’ari and your captain outside. We shouldn’t meddle with them anymore. Worst case scenario the mages will deal with them soon enough. One cannot simply cause this much chaos inside Stormwind of all places and get away with it.” The draenei stated with calm voice. Frankly it just showed how much she gave up on dealing with this nonsense for the moment. If everything else failed, she was just going to eventually deal with them herself, but she REALLY hoped it won’t come to that.

Then she felt something else… beside the rather familiar burning building smell. A rather bad sixth sense considering portals… like get forcibly pulled through enough of those and you get to sense whenever someone was plotting teleportations or portals or anything involving spacetime manipulation!

“Light give me strength…” Mei mumbled as she rapidly stood up, carrying Vashi in her arms as she sped up the stairs, searching for Sharon and the human girls who obviously needed some restraint to be pushed into their heads by a hammer at least.

“Don’t you dare!” Mei shouted as she dashed through the stairs and corridors, heading towards Sharon’s last location.

[Feychild]

“No. We haven’t” Liaena snapped

Upon receiving a stare from Sharon, the girl threw out a defensive arm towards the garden. “Look, I don’t like leaving Rithrynn either but how exactly do you propose we get her back!? She’s lodged inside Serphia’s giant butt, currently having a melee throw-down with a demon. That imbecile of a captain recently blew up all of my potions, I’ve officially run dry, and I don’t think my pliers are going to reach her even if I went spelunking. I’m good, but I’m not that good”

“If you’re going to admit that, then it must be serious”

Kathlin murmured. Looking slightly furtive under Sharon’s gaze, Liaena avoided his eye. “After all this mess is over, we can come back and get her”

“Besides…not that I’m going to point it out but it’d be much harder to hide from Sherpa – if we drag around someone literally sleeping with the enemy”

“So where are we going?”
Kathlin enquired, with an obvious attempt to inject some optimism into the situation as Sharon shook his head and started to form the gestures for the teleportation ritual. Liaena merely shook her head in answer to his question. “I don’t care. Not the north. Nowhere too close. Somewhere quiet”

“DON’T YOU DARE!”

Liaena’s head snapped around to see a very angry Draenei, rumbling through the corridor towards them with a bewildered Vashi in tow. Kathlin stepped in front of her, mumbling a prayer as one of her glowing shield sprouted around them, Mei smacking into that rather than into Sharon and disrupting the ritual. “Ah, sorry about that Ma’am, but we mean no harm to you. It’s an inter-dimensional portal this time, promise”

“There – perfect!”

Sharon pronounced as the spell concluded and a portal shimmered into life before them. Not even taking the time to check what was on the other side, Liaena grabbed Kathlin by one hand and Sharon by the other. “SorryifweoffendedyougiveSerphiamybestbyeeee!”

Under the influence of the haste spell, the bound through the portal took only a fraction of a second. The shield immediately collapsed as it’s caster left the scene, leaving Mei and Vashi free to move as they would. The other three found themselves stumbling into a new environment entirely.

“Do you think they’ll follow us?”

Kathlin asked. Liaena stumbled around, barely taking the time to process her surroundings as she looked at Sharon. “Close it!”

[Rithy]

Malizia's burning green fel eyes grew into big orbs as the large demoness was kicked up into the air, soaring over the district for a moment cue the oversized elven commander.

"Uh ohh!!"

Spreading her entirely new wings, Malizia began to flail and flap them around hap-haphazardly as she could feel the inertia from the initial kick was starting to fade, and giving place to the pull of gravity! It was a completely new sensation to Malizia, an entirely new set of limbs that she had never used before!

It felt... great!

"Whoooo, I'm flying. I'm FLYING!!"

*Flap*

...

*Flap*

...

*Flap... ?*

"OH BY THE SHADOW, I'M NOT FLYYYIIIIIN,-"

The realization that she was in fact not flying and that her whole first attempt to even do so was a massive failure came too late for the giant demoness to brace herself as she was flung back down towards the garden grounds, a last glimpse of the mansion, before Malizia slammed front first down into the garden!!

*CRASH!*

*

"Nooo! You must listen to her, you don't understan,- ... nd.."

Vashi merely gazed through the disappearing shield as Liaena suddenly flew through the portal faster than the wind, dragging Sharon and Kathlin with her before they could have said "but". Immediately concerned by the active portal in front of her and the Draenei's obvious worry, Vashi would grab Mei's hand and look up at her.

"Are you okay?!"

*CRASH!!*

Mei did not have time to answer before the entire room began to shake! One of the walls would cave in in a shower of dust and debris as Malizia's giant, red face suddenly appeared through the wall in the room. The demoness coughed and spat, before opening one green eye... and then suddenly two excited green eyes!

"SWEEETIE! I KNEW YOU HAD NOT ABANDONED ME YET!!" A giant, fanged smile suddenly beamed across Malizia's demonic face as she gazed down at Vashi in front of her with two giant, green eyes! However, the demoness wouldn't get to say much more before she suddenly felt someone grab her by the wing on the other end from behind and begin to drag her, pulling her face out of the room!

"Dontworrysweetiebunsimcomingback-loveyouxoxo!!"

Malizia called back towards Malizia as she her torso was dragged out of the hole it had created in the mansion by an angry Serphia!

"I'm not done with you!" Serphia sneered, still holding Malizia's wing! Malizia, realizing that lying around and trying to hold a conversation with Vashi would not net her much, decided to spin around and suddenly grab Serphia by the back of her arm, before snatching another hand forward to grab her by the back of the neck!

"It's dinner time, bitch!"

The large demoness roared, before she plunged Serphia's head forward and downwards, causing Serphia the giant Night Elf to crash head first down into the bottom side of Sharon's mansion, and shoving her enormous face right into Miss Collinz kitchen, causing entire rows of cups and plates to fall and crash around her as a table with a half-roasted hog was tipped over by the giant, elven head currently wedged in the room!
