[IC] W&T: FT RP!

[Masaki Haruna]

Aiden vs Kuroku.
Winner: Kuroku

Second match proceeds as the 17 and below category would be the last two battles for the day.

That was a decent fight as claimed by Kyou the Councilwoman judge though it was short, the pace needed to pick. She looked at her fellow judge, Ajax implying that his training of the boy didn't succeed. "Good fight but we got more of where that came from. The next fight would be...suddenly a messenger came and informed Kyou about the matchups. "Under the circumstances the matchups have changed. Harpy retains Revan and Nigel but Lamia Scale matchup had been changed. We welcome you Sage Ruzuzaki and the newest member of Lamia Scale, Stacy Kaiser!" Kyou loved the sound of that, never did she expect that Stacy would be joining Lamia Scale. It is something she had to do it seems.

Meanwhile backstage at Viper.

"That is okay. We will get another go next time for sure." Gwen comforts Aiden and she have watched the match too. Kuroku demonstrated S Class Level of strength and proved why he deserved the title, as expected that Alec's guild isn't a bunch of pushovers furthermore Kuroku is trained by a former wizard saint who so happens to be their Master Liz. Gwen looked at Marduk.

"Revan sure scared me once. 6 years ago I fought him indirectly and got one shot during hidden event. He is a candidate for Saint as well. Then Stacy..." Gwen is not surprised that her former friend would join a guild after showing up last year.

Back to the games:

Kyou lays the rules. "The rules are simple. Since day 1 is about 10 minute match ups. Your match will be different." Kyou snaps her fingers as the environment changes into a cage match. A huge cage match. Marks appeared on the participants hands connecting them together or better yet chained.

"Within 10 minutes. Fight and whoever breaks the chains connected to each other loses the match. Are there any questions? Good. The key here is teamwork. Begin"

Then the messenger come again and it was direct orders from the King. Once again the matchups changed. "I'm sorry Revan. You are out of the game. Ms. Samir will be taking your place. Once more the same rules apply. Samir and Nigel vs Sage and Stacy. Harpy vs Lamia begin!"

[Lmpkio]

Samir Saron

As soon as her name was announced, Samir jolted her eyes from polishing her bow. Once again, this seemed to be yet another surprise as the Bow-Magic user wasn't expecting to fight so soon, let alone taking the place of Revan. Suddenly, Harpi burst through the waiting room door with a thunderous clank of the doors.

"Sammy-san! Sammy-san!" squawks the loli-like harpy, "Harpy-chan just found out Revan-san has been kicked out of the GMG! Your up next!"

"I know Harpi-chan." replies Samir as she stands up while gripping her bow, "It's surprising enough that I'm going up next."

As she begins to walk out the door, she then looks back at Harpi with a smile and a wink.

"Let the spirit of Harpy grant us victory."

Little Harpi quickly salutes in the air as Samir opens the doors to the arena. She slowly walks to the middle of the arena, and quickly greets Nigel once she sees him.

"Greetings Nigel." she will say politely as she clinks the chain to her, "Ready for the battle at hand? Cause it's going to be quite a... bizarre fight."

Revan

Revan had been napping through all of the matches, listening out only for when his name would be inevitably called. When at last the moment came, he stretched his arms, scratched his chest, then proceeded to rise up from where he was laying down. As he cracked his neck in preparation to fight, however, he would then be given some rather infuriating news. He said nothing, just stood there looking up at Kyou with unrestrained annoyance. Oh, and he was emitting an immense amount of magical power unconsciously, which would cause some of the crowd near the Harpy area to faint, and those who didn't faint would find themselves feeling as if an enormous pressure was pressing down on them from all around. This feeling would spread over a majority of the arena, the only ones to not be overly bothered or affected by this pressure would be the guild masters and Wizard Saints in the audience.

"Are you telling me that I came all the way here, spent all that time training, just to be told I'm not participating right before I get to fight? Does that royal fuck-off really like pissing me off that much? Well then, you can go tell his majesty to fuck himself with his own royal scepter, then do us all a favor by throwing his ass of a cliff." Revan's voice was hardly more than a whisper, but it resonated through the air so that everyone present could hear his voice, which had taken on an intense, distorted quality that made him sound especially demonic. He didn't need to see the messenger to guess that it was the king who gave the order, that fucker always liked to assert his authority over Revan by pulling crap like this and holding his past like a hostage to get away with it. If the fucker didn't want me to participate in the games, he should've told me from the mother-fucking start! After taking a few breathes to calm himself down, all of which failed, he turned his attention to Nigel and Samir, focusing more on the latter who took his place. "A for you two, If you lose this match, then you're both going to be stuck taking on my training regimen for the next 3 months, and I'm talking about my real one, not the warm ups I do to keep myself from going soft."

The 'warms ups' he was talking about were hunting and fighting some of the strongest magic beasts out there with just his bare hands and the weakest magic he has at his disposal. Needless to say, if that was his warm-up, they likely didn't want to see what he did for real. And, unlike his other threats, everyone in Harpy knew that he'd follow through on this one, he always followed through on any promise made while he's enraged. After giving the other S-ranked mages 'incentive to win', Revan left the room, needing to get some air before he ended up breaking something(or someone) in his anger. He barely noticed Harpy's arrival, though once he did, he lessened his magical somewhat. Being at ground zero of this pressure would probably cause the young one to faint or, at the very least, become highly fatigued both physically and mentally. Also, instead of opening the doors like a normal person, Revan opted instead to kick them off their hinges, sending them hurtling through the air and narrowly missing a pedestrian.

"I'm going for a walk, I'll be back when I'm less likely to cause more collateral damage. Kat, you can take the cost of the door out of my account." With that said, Revan would begin his walk around the Arena to blow of steam, his presence again reducing to normal, but he was still dangerously angry and thus should not be approached carelessly.

Aiden

"I can believe it, Sable and I tried to fight him one time and he-" Aiden found himself cut off as he felt an immense pressure come over him. His breath felt a bit constricted as he looked over to the source, feeling as if he had a boulder strapped to his back. He could hear Revan's voice as it reverberated through the air. It wasn't unit the man had finally finished that Aiden continued, letting go off a breath he didn't no he was holding. ". . . What kind of monster is he to be able to give off such an intense amount of magical power. I thought you were exaggerating before, but now, I can clearly see that he's probably more than capable of that. I guess it should be a surprise for a Saint candidate, but still. . ." Aiden turned to Marduk, wondering what the man knew about it, before dismissing the notion. He highly doubted that Marduk and Revan had any kind of history together beyond probably a greeting here and there.

Samir Saron

Prior to comment #922

As soon as her name was announced, Samir jolted her eyes from polishing her bow. Once again, this seemed to be yet another surprise as the Bow-Magic user wasn't expecting to fight so soon, let alone taking the place of Revan. Suddenly, her mind felt as if an enormous pressure was pressing down on her. She groans in pain as she tries to get her mind into place. As she tries to get used to the pain, Revan came in and talked to both she and nearby Nigel:

"As for you two, If you lose this match, then you're both going to be stuck taking on my training regimen for the next 3 months, and I'm talking about my real one, not the warm ups I do to keep myself from going soft."

Samir seemed quite terrified at what Revan said, knowing him and how he keeps most of his promises. Yet once Harpi came bursting into the room was when the pressure began to lessen somewhat, enough for Harpi not to faint. In fact, it almost seems as if she was oblivious to what was going on in the first place! However, she was quiet once he saw Revan's condition. It was only after he left was when Samir could give an answer to Harpi.

(Comment 922 begins here with some slight edits)
"I know Harpi-chan." replies Samir as she slowly stands up while gripping her bow, "WE know. It's surprising enough that we're going up next."

As she begins to walk out the door, she then looks back at Harpi with a smile and a wink.

"Let the spirit of Harpy grant us victory."

Little Harpi quickly salutes in the air as Samir opens the doors to the arena. She slowly walks to the middle of the arena, and quickly greets Nigel once she sees him.

"Greetings Nigel." she will say politely as she clinks the chain to her, "Ready for the battle at hand? Cause it's going to be quite a... bizarre fight."

Ajax Thera - Hellmouth

The big man sat among the judges presiding over the Grand Magic Games. This year was special, having not one but two Wizard Saints judging on the first day. Ajax looked over to Kyou silently, aware of her skepticism of his training with Aiden. He didn't defend himself, instead turning his stoic gaze forward again as if it never happened. He knew that he had trained Aiden well, the match-up was not only not in his favor but Ajax could see that he wasn't operating at full power. In a direct fight it could've been different, as he knew the boy had great stamina and endurance, as well as being more likely to actually use his full strength. But it didn't matter, as Kyou likely knew the same thing.

Instead he waited patiently as the next fight was called. After the lineup change, however, Ajax turned to face Kyou again. "Why were Hana and Jeanne changed out?" he asked quietly, so as not to be picked up by any of the microphones. His tone was as unrevealing as ever, but Kyou would understand why he was asking. Sudden lineup changes were always something worth questioning, and Hana Oshiro in particular was a good friend to Ajax. It was quite possible that the only reason he was here would be to watch her fight, though he was probably also there to see how well Aiden would fare and perhaps catch up with a fellow Saint: Marduk. When Revan was also changed out, apparently by order from the King, Ajax looked down to watch the demonic man's small fit of rage.

The Wizard Saint stood out of his chair, in preparation should Revan do something foolish. The man was powerful, Ajax knew that. If he were to go berserk there would be few that could contain him. But Ajax Thera knew he was one of them. His worry was for naught, as Revan calmed down and dismissed himself, prompting Ajax to sit back down again. "That was foolish," was the only comment he had.

Hana Oshiro - The Last Samurai

"Awwww! Why'd they change it!?" The young woman pouted, leaning against the railing of Lamia Scale's balcony over the arena. "Fighting Revan sounded really fun..." With a sigh, Hana looked up to the judges' booth. She locked eyes with Ajax briefly, prompting a smile and a wave from her. Of course his expression didn't change, but he returned the wave. With that done Hana let out another, more dramatic sigh, before turning to face the rest of the Lamia Scale guild that was attending. "Alright guys, you have to go and win it for us. Preserve our honor!"

Her pink eyes rested on Sage now. Hana and Jeanne had been watching over him since his incident with Avatar. She knew that he was powerful. Sure, he wasn't as strong as Hana or Jeanne, but the boy was no pushover. Hana even trained with him a little bit, though it seemed to her that he couldn't consciously tap into his power. It often resulted in being beaten almost immediately for him in a spar, but Hana could still remember what he was capable of. Perhaps he could attain that again now? Hopefully he wouldn't need it to win. "You get 'em, Sage." Then Hana's gaze drifted over to the newcomer.

Stacy Kaiser - White Tiger

The newest member to Lamia Scale. Formerly a mage with no guild, Stacy Kaiser joined Lamia Scale on an impulse decision. While she was still a part of the Magic Council and listened to Kyou's every word, she was now officially a guild mage. Hana was initially skeptical of her, mainly due to her rude and brash behavior from when they first met, but has come to realize that the girl was certainly strong. It made sense that she'd be the right-hand girl of a Wizard Saint, despite her personality flaws. Speaking of... "Where did you get that booze, Stacy?" The white-haired girl looked back to Hana, a bottle of alcohol without a label in her right hand.

"I bought it just a bit ago. Was real cheap. I told the guy I was gonna kick his ass if he didn't give it to me. So I bought it for free." After giggling to herself, Stacy took another swig from the bottle and completely emptied it. Hana's hands went to her cheeks in a dramatic pose. "Now is not the time to be getting drunk, Stacy!" The pale girl waltzed to the edge of the balcony, giving a light hop and landing on the railing before facing Lamia Scale. A smirk danced on her lips. "Don't worry... drinking never hurt me... only the people around me..." With a grin she fell backwards off the balcony railing, crashing to the arena floor in an uncoordinated and haphazard fashion.

While most the crowd laughed at her misfortune, Stacy picked herself back up slowly and dusted herself off (paying special mind to her flowing hair). Once that was done she wobbled over to the center of the arena, so as to be closer to Samir and Nigel. The pale girl began sizing them up, though as far as they could tell she was just staring at them weirdly while having trouble staying upright in her intoxication. "I -hic- can beat tha both of ya," Stacy taunted, assuming a sloppy fighting stance and gesturing for Nigel and Samir to come at her. It didn't even occur to her that the fight hadn't started yet. Only after the cage appeared around a portion of the arena and a strange mark appeared on her hand did she realize this wasn't a plain fight. "Wha...?" She looked over to Sage, whom was now bound to her by a decently long chain.

Sage Ruzuzaki was an annoying person to be chained to, as far as Stacy was concerned. He had been oddly obsessed with her since she joined Lamia Scale. And considering she was originally going to arrest him and was only stopped by the appearance of Ajax he shouldn't like her at all. But for some reason the boy was never hostile towards her. It was weird, he was weird, and Stacy didn't want to be tied up to him. "Hey, don't yank on the thingy or I'll..." she threatened Sage, though her words trailed off as she failed to come up with an actual threat to hold against him. Instead of devoting the time for a proper threat she instead looked back towards her opponents. "I can break that chain easy..."

The first impressions are always the best!

Adjusting his bracers he stood up, his white hair had grown a bit longer. He opted out his large read coat for a sleeveless tight shirt. Sighing at the change in the upcoming battle. But it was not matter, Sage dual coloured eye flashed with curiosity as he picked up his new weapons. It was the same as his dual Katana's but much more lighter, the design was completely different. Nya had delievered to his guild a few weeks back while training with Hana. It was still new to the sword, but he could tell it was more powerful than his last one.

"You get 'em, Sage."

-I will, Onee-san- Sage wrote down as he walked out of the waiting room and into the main stage, there Samir and Nigel were waiting. Placing his katanas behind him he flexed his arm to loosen his limbs. -Nice to be fighting with you, Samir and Nigel of Harpy's wing, let's have a good fight- he bowed in respect for them before looking around. slowly Steel walls were placed around them, making Sage frown. A weird mark appeared on his left hand as a long chain had attached him to to girl beside him.

The girl that he fell in love with almost instant. Swallowing a lump in his throat. He got himself fired up again. The time of him falling in love with Stacy would have to wait later on.

"Hey, don't yank on the thingy or I'll..." she threatened Sage, though her words trailed off as she failed to come up with an actual threat to hold against him. Instead of devoting the time for a proper threat she instead looked back towards her opponents. "I can break that chain easy..."

-True, you could.- Sage wrote down. -But let's do some scouting on our opponents, Stacy-chan.- Doing the same as Stacy, Sage stared down his opponent and readied for anything that may come his way.

Niti Laevis

“What are you complaining about, Yuuka? You gave me a good beating…” Niti sullenly huffed, twisting in his seat to face the Wood Dragon Slayer. With a pout, he could remember all the smacks and near ass-kicking given to him by the fair maiden. “I narrowly won all those spars by pure luck… and because you just so happened to be a klutz.” Quickly, he held up his arms in his defense. “You kept slipping on my soap bubbles and knocking yourself out!”

Niti paused for a moment, letting Yuuka’s words sink in. He stared at Sage with a look of horror, dramatically aghast. “Sage, I should’ve known of your dastardly plans of getting a harem! Am I not allowed to be a part of it?” He spoke before he was interrupted by the announcer.

“...We welcome you Sage Ruzuzaki and the newest member of Lamia Scale, Stacy Kaiser!"

He... He remembered that voice. It wasn't the voice of a young man that had announced the beginning of the games. No, it was a woman's voice this time and, for some reason, it reminded him of someone. The voice tugged at his ears. Niti lifted his head and looked out toward the audience, toward the source of the announcement. Among the judges in the booth, an oddly familiar woman was seated. Her elegant appearance and dignified stance was a distant cry of a much younger version in his memories.

Could it be? Is that…

“Kyou!” The name felt almost foreign on his tongue. Niti stared in awe as he leaned over the railing to get a better look. However, Hana blocked his view as she waved toward a stoic fella who happened to be in the same booth as Kyou and spoke of her disappointment in the match-up.

Oh! The match! He has to focus on that right now.

As quick as a switch, he straightened and flashed a smile at Sage. “Welp, you’re up, dreamboat. Go wreck them!” He clapped his hands and looked to the newest member of Lamia Scale, Stacy Kaiser. He never did have the chance to talk to her since most of the time she was drunk and barely coherent. It was almost like talking to a brash iceberg before he decided to just go with it. “Best of luck, lovelies! Make us proud!”

“Oh, who am I kidding? I’m already proud of you two! Come here!” Just as he was about to tackle the two players with a hug, Stacy fell over the railings. He winced as he was pretty sure he heard a sound very similar to a “SPLAT.” Nevertheless, he peered over the railings and settled for a wave. Hugs can come in later.

As the cage rose, Niti bounced for the door, none too subtly gazing at the judges’ booth. “I’m heading out for a bit. Give Sage and Stacy a giant hug if I don’t come back in time!” There was no doubt in his voice. His confidence in his teammates’ abilities was unwavering since members of Lamia Scale were no pushovers. “Give me a holler if you need me~”

Nigel Ballard

Nigel stood up when he heard his name be called. He was a little surprised that he would get to fight so soon but that didn't disrupt his concentration nonetheless. What did were the threats Revan threw at them if they happened to lose the fight. He knew that Revan was one of the few people in the guild with zero sense of humor, so he knew that his threats were always serious. He looked at Samir as she walked next to him, "Greetings Nigel," she said to him "ready for the battle at hand? Cause it's going to be quite a... bizarre fight."

Samir Saron was a mysterious woman to Nigel. She was almost never seen in the guild hall and of the few times that she did happen to be there, she would never stay long enough to even consider that a visit. Even for Nigel, who was able to adapt to almost every situation, knowing so little about his teammate would hinder his ability to cooperate with them easily and efficiently. Nevertheless, he had no other choice, "Hello Samir," he replied with a smile that quickly faded as he looked down at his wrist where the mark of the chain binding him to Samir had appeared. "This fight won't only be bizarre. It will be tough too. I hope you're ready," he told her and turned to see their opponents.

Well, that's one interesting duo, he thought as he watched the two interact as his nanites had already gotten to work. The woman seemed to not be too well and Nigel wondered if they could use that to their advantage. Nevertheless, he replied to her partner's greetings, "The pleasure is mine," he said with a nod of his head. He walked next to Samir and whispered in he ear, "I know this is a little sudden, but I'll put one of my nanites inside your brain. That way, we will be able to communicate without needing to shout to eachother. Don't worry, it will not hurt you in any way," he told her.

[Lmpkio]

Samir Saron

"Yep" Samir answers back to Nigel, "Ready as can be. Lets do this."

But before she can do anything else, her partner walked up to her and whispered something in her ear.

"I know this is a little sudden, but I'll put one of my nanites inside your brain. That way, we will be able to communicate without needing to shout to eachother. Don't worry, it will not hurt you in any way,"

The Archer nods in agreement as she puts on the shackle.

"As long as it doesn't turn me into a zombie," she answers with a whisper and a small chuckle, "I'm fine with that."

The Voided Tempo

Sage frown, the battle had already started, but no one was taking the first shot 'Fine then, let's see how this works out then!" Reaching back and unsheathing his new Katanas, he saw a red glow where the tip of the blade is suppose to be. 'Interesting, Sorry Stacy!' crouching low he took towards Samir. Gritting his teeth was hoping to catch the girl of guard with his impressive speed, the weeks of training with Hana and losing made him more stronger than ever. Even Better when he first got his demonic power up.

-Voided devil's Infinite Darkness!- using his left katana, a black and red aura coated the blade as he swung underneath and raised is up, he was right up close to Samir, but it didn't mind him. as the blade lifted up a Rather larger head of the Black beast he fused with rose up and opened it's mouth. Smirking to himself he jumped after Samir, of course he held back the attack. It would be bad for lamia if he went all out.

@Lmpkio

Nigel Ballard

Once he saw that Samir had agreed, Nigel placed his hand on the back of her neck. A single nanite came out of it and pierced her skin. Samir would feel a slight discomfort but nothing more than that. Eventually, the nanite would enter her bloodstream and navigate itself to her brain. The process would take several minutes.

"There won't be immediate results. We will have to wait until it reaches your brain. On the meantime, we'll just have to do with our voices," he finished and turned his head to face his opponents. What he was greeted with was a rather eager Sage Ruzuzaki, charging at them and swinging around his blades. "Dodge!" Nigel simply said as he jumped backwards. What he thought, however, would be a simple sword slash was in fact a magic attack. Nigel transformed his left arm, taking the form of of an arm cannon. "Eat on this!" he shouted and fired a concentrated ball of eternano. The ball would enter the black beast's mouth and exploded from within, destroying the monster.

"Remember what the announcer said?" Nigel spoke while he entered his Battle Form. His hair rose as if they were electrified. The black tatoos all over his body started glowing a sinister black and his, previously plain black T-shirt, transformed into a blue, poncho-like cape, covering most of his upper body.

"The key here is teamwork."

[Lmpkio]

Samir Saron

Samir feels a slight pinch as the nanite pierces her skin, but otherwise felt nothing on the back of her neck. However, the process of getting to the brain will take a little bit of time before the two can talk normally without having to yell. But before she could say anything else, Sage began to attack her with one of his attacks. Samir quickly leapt backwards out of the way until Nigel formed into an arm cannon and blasting pure plasma into the monster's mouth, destroying it completely.

"Remember what the announcer said?" reminded Nigel as he transforms into another costume, "The key here is..."

"TEAMWORK." they both said as Samir transforms into her Heavenly Archer outfit, looking splendid and dazzling in the sun's rays. Covering Nigel, she quickly shoots several groups of Angel arrows, in threes, heading towards both Sage and Stacy.

Tonight!

Sage clicked his tongue as he watched Nigel destroy his attack with ease -Well...they're no Jeanne. But they're tough!- He looked over to the still intoxicated Stacy 'Stacy-chan, i'm sorry, but tell me when you are sobered up and i'll bring you back into the fight, but until then!'Sage's eye flashed as he held out his hand.

"Voided Devil's void!" A Medium black and red appeared behind her. Sage frowned before he pushed the wobbling girl into the void. the chain following her until it stopped moving. Sage tested the chain, smiling as he still had free movement. -Alright, please get better soon, Stacy.- Turn his attention to Samir and Nigel, his eye widened as a large wave of Samir's arrows were heading towards him. Gulping he headed back into battle mode. The White haired boy growled as he moved out of Samir move. Back flipping and jumping over numerous arrows before gain a safe distance away from the two Harpy members.

'Good grief, this is going to be one hell of an uphill battle.' He sighed, frowning at his little disadvantage he shook his head and took up his Katana. 'I'd guess i can go weapons free here.' Exhaling a bit. He closed his eye, the newly obtained power coursed through him, underneath his clothes the Marks of the devil slayer appeared underneath him as his eye became blood red and black. "Time to get resious here" Filling his cheek with Magic he let lose a torrent of black and red magic at them.

"Voided Devil's Rages!"

[color-black]

Marduk

[/color]
Marduk walked along with Aiden when he told him he had someone to meet. Marduk followed along, interested on who else had joined Vyper Bolt during his absence. Much to his surprise it was a young boy who was a God Slayer, just like him. He walked up to the boy, his massive body towering over him. He raised an eyebrow, rubbing his chin. "Oooh? Another God Slayer huh...interesting. Didn't expect Vyper Bolt to get another one." He greeted Xavier with a grin and a firm handshake "Nice to meet you. Before he could continue, the games had already started. He nodded to Xavier, walking off into the stadium along with the rest of the team. He was slightly surprised that Aiden was the first to start, nodding to him [color=black]"Good luck"[/color

Marduk watched the battle between Aiden and the Lunar Wolf Mage Kuroko. A smirk came across his face as he looked at the Lunar Wolf area. No need to let off such a killing intent. Your chance will come kiddo Across the stadium was Reiner, glaring at Marduk with the intent to kill in his eyes. The hurdle he placed was about to be tested during the games. To see if he's able to kill the Wizard Saint Marduk.

Marduk was surprised by the turn of events, Kuroko coming out victorious over Aiden. His Black Ice gave him the surprise and edge that he needed in order to win the event. No matter, they would just have to win the next events. Marduk patted Aiden's shoulder when he entered "Learn from this defeat and study him down to his very breathing pattern. If you two face again, be sure to win" Suddenly, a powerful magical presence was exerted throughout the stadium. Most people showed concern or stress or some type of negative emotion...except for Marduk. A grin formed on his face, listening to Gwen speak about Revan. He could feel his hairs standing up, Revan was one of the Mages here he would fight. There was also Ajax, but due to rules and regulations of being a Saint Marduk was unable to fight him.

He examined the next fighters coming out, studying the four of them from the stands. He raised an eyebrow at the young white haired males actions. He took a seat on the floor, getting into a meditation position. He had already predicted the outcome of this fight. Rest was what he needed.

[j8cob]

Stacy Kaiser - White Tiger

The intoxicated woman didn't seem to hardly be paying attention to what Nigel and Samir were going on about, instead placing her irritation on Sage's sudden movements. While the chain was long and his fast actions didn't affect her too much, the pale girl seemed to almost fall over when he jumped. "What did I say... about yanking the chain?" she began to threaten, before being cut off and dragged into some kind of portal. Sage threw her into an alternate dimension. "You think I can't fight?" Stacy spoke, despite nobody being able to hear her. "That I'm useless!?" With a fervent rage, she grabbed onto the chain with the hand it was attached to before leaping out of the open portal.

Nigel and Samir were preparing an assault on Sage, with Samir firing a large volley of magical arrows. "I'll show you just how strong I am!" she shouted, seemingly randomly to the other mages in the arena. With a mighty heave of strength, Stacy whipped the chain backwards. There was a brief delay before the motion caught up to Sage, where it would completely take him off his feet and pull him away from Samir's barrage. It would likely surprise him, both the motion and Stacy's physical strength, but the drunk woman didn't seem to hardly notice or care about her action. "Ice Make!" With Sage out of the way, Stacy released the chain and brought her hands together in the Maker Stance. "Eagle!" In the air around her several dozen birds of ice were formed, where they briefly clustered before launching towards Nigel and Samir. While the spell seemed to be straightforward, the birds were actually homing and were capable of dodging obstacles to some degree. Blocking and dodging them were more difficult because of this, and combined with the powerful spell Sage performed it was evident that the two representatives of Lamia Scale were deserving opponents.

[Renny]

S A B L E. & R M.

Ruined Maw had concentrated on the next matches. The majority of which was boring, if not disappointing. It wasn't until the name: Revan had been called did Sable open his eyes. For some reason, that far-off name scratched at his memory. Where had he heard it before? and why did it feel like he should be wary of it. He bowed his head slightly in thought, ignoring the announcement of the participant change. Soon after, a stifling magic consumed the arena. Sable glanced around at his comrades before instinctively raising his magic core. The heat of his magic held back the overall presence, leaving him sitting there unaffected. Though his comrades, all but Vivian had seemed shaken.

Mary turned towards Sable. She hugged herself with her gauntlets. "The hell is going on here? Wh-What is this magic?"

Genesis, on the outside looked composed, though Sable could hear her heart quickening. "Oh," she teased calmly, intertwining her arm with Sable as she looked towards Mary. "I would have never believed the great "Bloody Mary" would have shown weakness in front of our leader. Reign must be so disappointed in you."

Ender, who was suddenly between Genesis and Sable, wrapped his arm around Sable's leg. "Never have I felt such a magic. I-Its ... Its freaking cool! and scary." exaggerated the youth.

Mary's face contorted with anger before she looked away. "W-Whatever. As if you're pale ass would be any better if you weren't beside, Reign. You don't fool me princess. To be honest, I'm more surprise you're not reacting to this, Reign."

Sable placed a hand on Ender's head before looking towards Mary. "To what?" he feigned. Before they could answer, he stood up and stretched his arms upwards. "Think I'm going to get some food. Would you guys like anything from the concession?" They each declined his offer but Mary decided to come along with him, forcing Genesis to stay behind to watch her younger brother and the odd Vivian.

"Take'em down, Nigel!" cheered Ender from behind them.

Once away from the others, Mary fiddled with her arms and hands. Sable had his own in his pockets as he walked. "H-Hey?"

"Yea," answered Sable.

"Do you think less of me because I was affected by that magic? N-Not that I care or anything, its just ... well Genesis had said-"

Sable forced himself to smile pleasantly at Mary, not that it was hard. "She was just as scared. She's just better at hiding it." He said before halting at the end of the long concession line. A few flashes were quick to shine on him. No doubt it was fans taking his picture.

"I knew it," she said matter-of-factually. A long pause went by as she brushed off her moment of vulnerability, her hand tossing aside bangs of crimson hair. "Not to seem unsure of you but are you capable of competing with a power like that?"

Sable held the bout of anger inside, the trepidation that wanted to say "I'm not sure". "Of course I can. I gathered all you nuts together, I can handle anything. That includes finding enough time to deal with all of your playful like ticks." The line moved up slightly.

Samir Saron

Samir was quick to notice Sage's Voided Devil's Rages and alerts Nigel calmly about this situation.

"Incoming attack."

Moving to the logical feel of his partner, she moves out of the way just in time, without endangering Nigel and leaving him in the attack. But it didn't stop there. Now it was Stacy's turn and she fires several dozen Ice Eagles coming straight at the two! It was no time to take a breather just yet. In a quick move, she gets in front of Nigel and transforms into another set of armor.

"Archer Cast: Flaming Volcanic Archer!"

With a lightning-fast transformation, her suit has transformed into a dark-red, gold and black armor pieces that are shaped to look like flames, with bulky-looking spikes on her shoulder pads, and her hair is now a fiery red in color. She quickly fires several explosive arrows, attempting to knock out several clusters of these Eagles. She only hopes that Nigel can help her with eliminating these Eagles...

Sage Ruzuzaki

Sage's GMG attire

---

With Stacy quicky comeback, Sage frown as she barked at him -Please, if you have any anger, re-directed at our opponents.- Sage felt Stacy whip the chain as the was sent out of Samir's direction. Silently thanking the white haired woman be got back to his feet and looked at her. -Something tells me that you're not the ordinary sorcerer.- As smirk appeared on his lips -Then again, neither am i.-

Archer Cast: Flaming Volcanic Archer!"

With a lightning-fast transformation, her suit has transformed into a dark-red, gold and black armor pieces that are shaped to look like flames, with bulky-looking spikes on her shoulder pads, and her hair is now a fiery red in color. Sage studied the arrows and the bow Samir was holding before a mental note went of his head as it clashed with Stacy's ice make eagle, Sage took the window to study Stacy's attack. -Thanks for the assist, Stacy.-

Crouching down low he placed his middle and index finger in his place of his free and the smiled. -allow me to help you!'

"BLACK MATTER MAKE: EAGLES!" opening his arms wide a wave of Black birds flew out and pursued Samir and Nigel, If Samir could hold of her attack, the Sage's eagles would slip between and attack both happy members. Then a idea appeared in his head, stepping back he sat Stacy's shadow 'Perfect!' Sage looked around before he activated his magic. "Shadow jump!" Jumping into her shadow. Sage did want to make her wait. But give the tempp of the battle. He wouldn't have to wait long.

Nigel Ballard

Nigel's lips formed a smirk when he saw Samir skillfully dodge Sage's next attack. "A breath attack huh? So he's some kind of slayer? Interesting..." he thought as he moved out of the way, the wave of dark magic just barely missing him for a few inches, "and a powerful one at that!"

"Haha, that's the spirit!" he shouted and his right hand morphed into a blue blade of pure eternano, his nanites gathering it from the air and giving it the form of a blade. Suddenly, Samir jumped right in front of him, transformed into one of her suits and immediately started shooting arrows back at the ice birds coming their way. "...and she's an Ice-Make mage..." he thought as he tried to dodge one of the icy eagles, only to find out they could lock on their target, "Damn, seems like they are no pushovers," he mumbled and, with a swift movement, turned around and sliced the eagle in half, the two parts flying past him and crashing onto the ground.

Nigel bolted to where Samir was and stood next to her, "The nanite should arrive at your brain any minute now, so just try," he sliced in half two more ice eagles, "just try and hold them off for now and we'll go on the offensive once we are able to communicate better," he finished saying. Nigel, however, would soon be reminded of the consequences of not paying full attention to your opponents moves. In the brief time he was talking to Samir, he failed to notice that Sage had unleashed his own cluster of magical eagles. As he blocked one of the ice eagles, a dark one slipped past it and crashed right on his side, sending him flying a couple of feet and falling on the ground. "Shit..." he thought as he stood up, obviously dazed by the surprise attack.

Quickly regaining his composure, Nigel analyzed his surroundings, only to find something unexpected. "Where the heck is Sage..." he thought. The only opponent he could see in front of him was Stacy. "Well, whatever. If they want to give me an opening, I'll gladly accept it" and with that, he started charging up his cannon. If he was left to finish charging up, he would unleash a blast of eternano several times bigger than the one he blocked Sage's blade attack with.

Samir Saron

Samir's counter attack against the Ice Eagles was a success! And none of them got harmed in the process. Soon enough Nigel began to quickly speak to her.

"The nanite should arrive at your brain any minute now, so just try," he sliced in half two more ice eagles, "just try and hold them off for now and we'll go on the offensive once we are able to communicate better, he then finishes.

Samir nods as she fires a few more arrows at their opponents. Suddenly, Nigel got hit by Sage's Black Matter Eagles and sent him flying back a few feet.

"Nigel!" the Archer calls out as she faces another eagle heading straight towards her and a lightning speed. She quickly began to load an arrow into her bow, hoping to hit the eagle, but unfortunately she was too late to release as she was also sent flying back right beside to where Nigel was. She quickly gets up and shakes her head with a grunt.

"Eagles again?" she sighs sarcastically, "How original..."

She searches around the battlefield, only to find Stacy... but Sage was nowhere to be found. Something wasn't right here... she senses a trap. She quickly alerts her partner as he charges up his attack.

"Wait a minute..." she says to him, "Something ain't right. Where's Sage?"
