The Main Story [Pinnacle Arc]

Stein, 4th

​



"Fuckin' brat," Stein mumbled, alone in the ravaged building. He finally washed out all the poison from his eyes, having found a sink, but the burning sensation had stayed with him. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen, and he looked pretty beat up. It was quite the deceiving look, actually, as he had been the one to dish out the beating. In his second battle with the Toxic Dragon of Lamia Scale, Ryos Delmora, he had once again managed to be seconds away from finishing the Poison Dragon Slayer off, only to allow him to escape.


Stein was still enraged. The only thing on his mind was to go find Ryos, and kill him once and for all. He no longer cared much for the challenge that Ryos offered, since he had proven that he was no longer much of an opponent, he just wanted to make the boy pay for embarrassing him twice.


Just as he was getting ready to find his victim, a telepathic message entered his mind.


"It's time to retreat you blubbering buffoon, get back immediately!"


Just the sound of her voice made Stein shiver. She was a scary one.


"Once again, you managed to escape from my clutches, but your final moments are approaching. You better be enjoying them while they last, Ryos Delmora."


After blabbering to himself, since no one else was around, Stein proceeded to head back to Forward Base. Moving quickly, he dashed through the town of Pinnacle, approaching the cliff that overlooked the small trade town. On the top of that cliff, he spotted the abandoned warehouse where the rest of his teammates were likely staying.


Entering the Forward Base, Stein saw Lennix, and some other figures in the guild that he didm't recognize. After all, being an Elite Four, he only associated with the best.


"Yo jackass," Stein yelled out to Lennix, "Did boss get the sheriff to talk?"
 
Scarlet

​



Scarlet looked up at Lennix as he walked by and she heard his comment about her followed up by his comment about calling your fellow members bad names. "Hey Bastard! Did you just say something to me?!?! You want me to show me how a real assassin kills, to demonstrate how about I behead you!" she said. "Besides I'm not even a member of this stupid guild as I said before, I'm only here to kill the fairies. Besides if I was in this guild they would have to call it the elite 5 instead of the elite 4" she said. She walked away from him. "Now I just feel like punching something" she said to herself as she turned to Stein who seemed to want to have a few words with Lennix. "Ahh what the hell" she said removing he cloak. She walked up to Stein and elbowed him across the face, cracking her knuckles after she hit. "How about a little sparing to kill the time?" she said knowing she pissed him off with the elbow to the face. "My name is Kotone Scarlet, and I already know who you are Stein" she said.

Lady Kandosii

​



There were a variety of reactions from the mages, as she expected there would be. Some seemed disgusted, others unsettled, and the rest apathetic. Lady Kandosii closed her eyes, letting her residual emotion sink within once again. When she opened them, her face had regained it’s regalness and composure.


A young redhead spoke up first, one of the newcomers to the meeting. "I owe your son so you don't have to pay me anything," he said, to her surprise.


“My thanks...I’m sure A’den would express the same sentiment as well,” the matriarch replied, although inwardly taken aback. She didn’t realize A’den would be willing to help guild mages, but perhaps it was her that was the narrow-minded one. A’den would never leave someone to die, guild mage or not.


"I can't speak for the guildless, but all the guild members here will fight alongside the Kandosiis. We don't need any of your money or artifacts, we will fight because it's the right thing to do. We will fight because we want to make our guilds proud, we want to make our masters proud, but most of all, we want to make the country of Fiore proud,” the one named Ryos interjected, a determination in his eyes. "Not to mention I made a promise to protect your daughter, and I have a score to settle. Count us in."


Lady Kandosii raised an eyebrow, the closest she would ever be to being outright gobsmacked. The speech, honor, and guild pride was expected, but...Vaiya? Both alarmed and amused, the silver-haired mother wondered what exactly her little girl did these past few days.


Another man approached, the one who held his place by the wall earlier.


"You act like a victim, but you're just as responsible for this mayhem as the dark mages. Countless have lost their lives and buildings lay in ruins. I have no interest in your familial affairs and I will not be swayed by any trinkets in your possession. They hold too much blood on them as it is. However,” he said in monotone, although she could pinpoint the tell-tale traces of hostility beneath, "I will not allow a single innocent to be killed like so many before them. The Raccoon Alliance ends today."


This time the matriarch remained dispassionate and composed. Ah, there was a result she had predicted. Venomous, but overridden by another motivation. Duty, perhaps?


“I accept all responsibility for my past actions and those of my family. I neither desire for your sympathy nor your forgiveness; I only ask that, at this moment, you be willing to defeat a threat to the people, and I thank you for that cooperation.”


One more mage, a pinkette girl in ragged clothing, approached.


"I'm not fond of the Kandonsii family. And ...I'm...regrettably thinking that you're doing this for your own protection- not just the people's. Not mention protecting these artifacts more than your protect your own people. You think that legal mages would just abandon this mission just because of some lie like that? If people are at stake....why do we need money and a prize to convince us to save them? It's a bit insulting Miss Kandonsii," she said.


Lady Kandosii nodded respectfully in response. She acknowledged their motivations and their points of view, but she could not back them. Dangerous items needed to be kept out of dangerous hands. Even if it meant a few lives were lost in the process.


“The Raccoon Alliance is evil. They are a threat to innocent lives throughout Fiore. I regret to say that we must take their lives for the safety of Fiore. Your family is just as much to blame. You must live with the consequences. I’ll make sure you never forget the evil you’ve spawned!” a fedora-wearing man added in his own two cents, one she had seen speaking with a few other of the mages earlier.


The matriarch paused for a moment to collect her thoughts before she replied, “I understand that what my ancestors and I have done is not necessarily right. We can discuss consequences later, but as of this moment we need your cooperation to defeat the Raccoon Alliance.”


Her eyes met his, and although her gaze was not hostile, something in it’s piercing stare would root the man’s attention to her. “But, although the sins of my family is mine to bear, do no mistake the failures of a parent for the mistakes of the child. A’den and Vaiya are not to blame, and should not be considered to be at fault. Remember that.”


Some of the others mages then offered their own suggestions to the battle plan as she turned her attention away from the fedora man. Taking each into account and analyzing their worth, she began inputting them into the holographic projection she created.


“Stein will be trapped in the East Wing of the manor, within the servants quarters and library, where he will assaulted with ambushes and traps by the wizard Ryos, and the pink-haired mage. Additional support by nimble fighters that can navigate narrow corridors and tight spaces is necessary to fight this Elite, but it is advised you avoid his destructive abilities. However, the structure of this manor should be enough to contain his attacks to a smaller space.”


“Daichi will be held in the same wing, but in the swimming pool. Earth Dragon Slayer, you are most equipped to deal with him, but additional support by another Mage may be necessary.


“Lennix will be engaged by the girl accompanying the man with the Fedora, and will be trapped in the main dining hall and lobby--this room and the one directly adjacent, respectively. Be warned that he seems to make use of area-of-effect Sleep and Illusion Magic. Furthermore, do not engage him in hand-to-hand; I don’t know how exaggerated his stories are, but it’s likely that there’s some truth to his deadly touch. Furthermore, if there’s any Mages that are capable of nullifying Magic capabilities, you would be most suited for dealing with this one.”


“The other two will be taken to the other two wings, where you will have to improvise according to information presented in battle. The most well-rounded or strategic of you should move to these areas in order to adapt quickly to whatever threat they may have.”


With a few more waves of her hand, the floating writing became complete. Lady Kandosii remained composed and focused, her sharp eyes surveying each of the Mages present and the information they had already gathered. She supposed it would have to be enough.


“And finally,” the silverette matriarch continued, her voice reaching out to catch the attention of everyone present, “I will wait at the North Wing for when Alistair arrives. I do not doubt the strength of your enchantments, Spearheart, but they will not stop someone like him. I will stall him for as long as I can until the rest of you finish dispatching the rest of the Elites. For those of you who are not assigned, distribute themselves as you will. Remember, however, that every single one of these mages is a dangerous threat and should not be taken lightly.”


Lady Kandosii briefly gazed into the eyes of all the mages one more time, looking for that sign of recognition. “Before we initiate our preparations,” she said at last, calm leadership showing in her tone, “Are there any questions?”


  • ”Dark Red” = Blitz Gordon


    “Purple” = Ryos Delmora

Shin

​



"I have a couple strategies up my selves" Shin said looking at Lady Kandosii. "I know mostly everyone here and their powers, believe me I've heard stories. If I may lady Kandoshi for those that are left over I'd like to make some suggestions" he said as he cleared his throat. "I believe along with Dusty, Jacob Foles and Lightning should take on Dachi. Jacob and Dusty work well together and Lightning's powers should work well against earth. I'll go after the person with the invisible powers I would also request that Iron man over there, Kyoya Kumori and Dakora Aura go with me, if I'm right he's somehow manipulating air, but if I'm wrong Iron man should be able to take most of the attacks with minimal injury. Against Lennix I think Blake and Blitz Gordon should assist the Fedora wearing ass hat and the girl as well as have Alicia cancel out the effects of the sleeping magic with her Dark Ecriture. With Ryo's I suggest Rei and Kelfa since they can block heavy attacks and deal a lot of damage. Now against the last one.... we know nothing about their powers so I suggest going with a very diverse team consisting of Alyssa Gardner, Qrow Harper, Karla Van Houser, Ein Silverhand, Maverick Tenshi, Alvina Hildred, and Kono Iradel. Now the only ones left is that guy over there (Aiden) and Alicia Spearheart. You two can be our specialist team and deal with any unexpected enemies. And if Novus or anyone else willing to help shows up they can join you. Now did I miss anyone?" he said taking a breather. "I'm no leader and I'm defiantly no strategist so Ryo's and Lady Kandosii, may I ask for your opinion?" he said.

Donald 'Dusty' Houns

Monster of the Earth



​



Dusty looked up from his huddle with Ryos and Alyssa, and squinted his eyes as everyone was making plans. He was mildly annoyed that he was being tossed against the Earth Body mage, but it did make sense. He could easily dispatch any attack that the dark mage shot at him, and counter with his own Dragon moves. But there was still one flaw with what Shin said.


He stood up and crossed his arms, his many tiny arm scars almost blending with his large chest ones. "Guess this is new news to you, Bloody Boy. Jacob is hurt. I found him knocked out near the center of town, defeated by who knows who. Banged up pretty bad, as well. Almost his whole back's skin was torn and bloody, and I can assume his chest has so wicked bruises as well, and I believe he has some broken bones. Not pretty stuff for him. So until he's better, he's getting his rest. And no one is making him fight..." His eyes flared with grit stubbornness, and he spoke through gritted teeth. "Then they have to answer to me." He pointed a finger at Shin, and spoke with almost as much venom as Alyssa's casual insults. "And YOU especially. Don't think I forgot what you did before with attacking us all. I don't care at all if you were possessed. You hurt not only Novus, my guildmate, but you hurt Dakora. So you're low on my list of favorites, if you made it at all. So be careful about what you say to me, got it?" He knew his anger was misplaced, but he couldn't shake off the actions that had occurred that morning. (@kirito1337 )


He took a moment to cool off, taking deep breathes with his eyes closed, then opened them and looked over at Lady Kandosii. "As much as your plan is good, I'm torn. I agree, Daichi would be the best pair up for me, but at the same time, I want to find the person who hurt my friend and guildmate." He lifted his hand and clenched it tightly, till his tanned knuckled turned ghostly white. "He messed with the wrong Monster..."


"Calm down, Dirt Boy."


Dusty's head whipped around as a limping Jacob entered the room, leaning on his staff, which was extended out to two-thirds length. He wasn't in his ragged clothes as before, and had pulled on a new tuxedo, this one now being navy blue instead of jet-black. He looked slightly cleaned up as well. The only signs of his fight was his limp and some bruises along his left cheek.


He strode over and stood next to Ryos and Alyssa, and saw Alyssa's pained look. He smiled apologetically. "Miss Gardner, I'm very sorry for what I did. I couldn't control the rush of pain when I contacted you. If I knew it was coming, I would have suppressed it, but sadly that was not the case." He then looked up at the Lady Kandosii. "Ma'am, I'm sorry I was unable to defend your daughter. I have only recently recovered from a near fatal illness, so my strength was not at full scale. When we engaged in combat with the man who presumably took your daughter, I managed to see he used a mix of water and air magic, similar to myself. Only it was very ferocious and more offensive than supportive. I had tried to attack him before he blasted me into a wall and rendered me useless." He attempted a bow, but only managed to get to a 50 degree angle before he winced, and leaned back up, smiling sheepishly. "Thankfully, I can fight if needed here. I got away with some nasty bruises on my chest and face, some broken skin on my back, and one or two broken ribs." His face grew serious once more. "Also, he has another interesting magic. It seems that he can focus magical pressure into an unknown radius, and makes his enemies crush under the weight. It is troublesome, and I worry for any mages that come up against him." With that, he stepped back to stand near Dusty, keeping his eyes downcast. Dusty just stared at his friend, perplexed.
 
Alyssa Gardner
​



As her breathing slowly returned to normal, she remain silent, listening as Lady Kandosii told her tale, watching as Loke's face turned painful. She let out a small sigh, remaining quiet. She knew of her Lion's relationship with the Heartphilia woman from long ago, and she wouldn't torture him by bringing up memories.


She may be a bitch, but she wasn't cold-hearted.


As she listened to the others start to ramble off, she tuned in upon hearing her name. So he was suggesting she go up against one of the unknowns?


Fine with the idea, she made to speak only to be paused by Jacob, who interrupted Dusty.


"Miss Gardner, I'm very sorry for what I did. I couldn't control the rush of pain when I contacted you. If I knew it was coming, I would have suppressed it, but sadly that was not the case." he apologized.


Letting out her breath, the green-haired mage pushed herself to her feet, shooting Loke a small, yet grateful, look for his assistance. "I'm fine Misty." she told him honestly. While it had been painful at first, and took a few minutes to fade, she was fine now. Just a bit out of breath.


Taking in as much information as she could, Alyssa knew that everything said mattered. Nothing could be chanced, especially in such a time as this.


"Also, he has another interesting magic. It seems that he can focus magical pressure into an unknown radius, and makes his enemies crush under the weight. It is troublesome, and I worry for any mages that come up against him." Jacob continued.


Now that got her attention. 'Weight? So somehow he controls gravity?' she wondered before stepping forward.


"If it's weight and gravity you're talking about, let me take them on."

Ryos Delmora

​



Lady Kandosii had finally produced a game plan, revolving around a few wizards who had a clear advantage against specific opponents. The main wizards would be supported by other wizards who did not have any clear advantages against the Elite Four and Daichi. It was, of course, a well thought of plan. There was just one flaw.


"I have a couple strategies up my selves" Shin said looking at Lady Kandosii. "I know mostly everyone here and their powers, believe me I've heard stories. If I may lady Kandoshi for those that are left over I'd like to make some suggestions" he said as he cleared his throat. "I believe along with Dusty, Jacob Foles and Lightning should take on Dachi.

Now the only ones left is that guy over there (Aiden) and Alicia Spearheart. You two can be our specialist team and deal with any unexpected enemies. And if Novus or anyone else willing to help shows up they can join you. Now did I miss anyone?" he said taking a breather. "I'm no leader and I'm defiantly no strategist so Ryo's and Lady Kandosii, may I ask for your opinion?" he said.


Shin's strategy wasn't bad, but he was missing the point too.


Ryos lifted his head. "Our main problems have been revolving around the fact that some of us just don't get along. If we are going go about this as a team, we need to fight as a team. For that reason, I think it would be most beneficial that the supporting mages stick with the wizards they have the best chemistry with. I know for a fact that we fight harder when we fight with the people we care about. I say we should let the remainder of the mages choose for themselves who they wish to fight with and fight against. As for your plan, Lady Kandosii, I think you made the perfect match ups," Ryos stated cooly.


Around that same time, Dusty began arguing with Shin over Jacob's condition. Ryos had to admit, the Warden of the Fog was messed up. Then, the Monster of the Earth reverted his attention to Lady Kandosii.


"As much as your plan is good, I'm torn. I agree, Daichi would be the best pair up for me, but at the same time, I want to find the person who hurt my friend and guild mate."


"Dusty, I swear to you we'll find Novus' captor after this is all over. As of right now, we wouldn't even know where to start. Her captor could be from Raccoon Alliance or a different threat entirely. We can't be focused on that right now, we need you to be focused on Raccoon Alliance. Remember Dusty, without you we wouldn't have been able to defeat Echidna. We need you now too," Ryos said. He stared right into Dusty's eyes, suddenly breaking out into a smirk. He trusted Dusty. Dusty was a powerful wizard, ad though he was reckless, he was also relentless. He would never let himself be distracted from the task at hand. He was a true S-Class. More than all of that, however, Dusty was his friend, and Ryos didn't make friends that would let him down.


Then it was Jacob Foles turn to speak. Immediately, he approached Alyssa.


"Miss Gardner, I'm very sorry for what I did. I couldn't control the rush of pain when I contacted you. If I knew it was coming, I would have suppressed it, but sadly that was not the case." He then looked up at the Lady Kandosii. "Ma'am, I'm sorry I was unable to defend your daughter. I have only recently recovered from a near fatal illness, so my strength was not at full scale. When we engaged in combat with the man who presumably took your daughter, I managed to see he used a mix of water and air magic, similar to myself. Only it was very ferocious and more offensive than supportive. I had tried to attack him before he blasted me into a wall and rendered me useless." He attempted a bow, but only managed to get to a 50 degree angle before he winced, and leaned back up, smiling sheepishly. "Thankfully, I can fight if needed here. I got away with some nasty bruises on my chest and face, some broken skin on my back, and one or two broken ribs." His face grew serious once more. "Also, he has another interesting magic. It seems that he can focus magical pressure into an unknown radius, and makes his enemies crush under the weight. It is troublesome, and I worry for any mages that come up against him."


For a second, Ryos felt anger towards Jacob. He had allowed Vaiya to be captured, and he was the reason Alyssa collapsed a few moments ago. Quickly, he calmed down, reminding himself of his own failures against Stein. He was in no position to judge. He was also sure Jacob tried his hardest, as his injuries would prove. Ryos walked up to the now downcast Jacob, and did something very uncharacteristic of the Poison Dragon Slayer. He began patting Jacob on the back.


"Don't worry about it. It's not over, we'll get Vaiya back. Thanks for everything Jacob."
 
Zac

​



Return of a friend

What was her problem? Was that woman bi polar or something. One minute she was mocking him, being extremely rude, the next it was like she was upset because he called her out and was rude right back. And this crap about not having someone look after her?? Thats not even what he meant.


“Uuuuuuuuuugn” He grunted loudly as Novus returned and Malda disappeared. “Broken? She’s not broken. She had a crappy attitude. Even if that’s how she always is, its fine when people understand but how was I to know she was being sarcastic and not just being an ass!!! Gah!!!”


The grunting and arguing made his chest hurt but finally, even though it seemed to be only minutes, he forced himself to sit up. With a scrunched face and wincing in pain, after struggling for a second, Zac was upright, with his legs of the bed, or table, or couch. He wasn’t actually sure what he was on, but it was good enough. Eyeing Novus, then to the box she dropped then back at Novus as she spoke.


“This is going to sound crazy but, it can talk.”


It took everything he could to contain his laugh. His hand shot up to cover his mouth and in a moment thought about saying “Really? Do you think its contagious” but it was kind of a slap in the face, to be rude to Novus, when he just got mad for Malda saying the same thing. Maybe he really did misjudge the situation. Maybe he had been the rude one. It got him thinking and his eyes kind of turned outward, and his expression changed. Adria turned and looked at Zac. His hand came down and pet her, top to bottom.


Her Purr was loud and sounded like a soft chain saw. She could feel the raw emotion from him as she was pet, and she just somehow new for the moment, as excited as she was, not to speak.


“I know Ms. Novus. Thank you so much for retrieving her. We are a strange duo, but things always turn out for the better.” Adria looked up at Novus and nodded. “But more importantly, I need to ask a favor.”


He paused for a second once more. Scratching the top of Adria’s head. Her ears flared out and you could tell she loved it. “Can we go find your sister. I need to tell her something... it's very important.”


@White Masquerade
 
Velexus Reigo

​



Becoming a bit miffed he looked to the others, though he respected the fact that they all refused payment, he preferred that option as well, he could help but feel left out as they overlooked him in their strategizing. "You all seem to forget that I'm here, what should my position be in upcoming battle." Velexus wasn't upset with the others, he had just arrived so it made sense that they didn't notice his presence. He looked towards Lady Kandoshii, Shin, and then to Ryos as his question hung in the air. His hand lazily rested upon the hilt of his sword and his greyish eyes swept over the group he stood away from them on their right, which put him in a empty space between them and Lady Kandoshii. "If you're wondering, I'm a versatile fighter, my magic is effective at both short and long range. I can handle myself in short range combat, be it hand to hand or with shorter range weapons. I am proficient with my blade but far from perfect. That is all I can say about my combat ability, the rest will be up to you to decide once I've displayed it." With that Velexus fell silent looking to the one who had been appointed as their leader for guidance. He had an idea himself but given this man's repute for being the strategist of the group he waited to see what decision would be made. He wouldn't fuss or fight, that was for his enemies and so far he had none here.


@kirito1337
 
"I have no right to judge you Lady Kandosii or any one else for that matter. Know that I'm here to help resolve this matter." Ein told the lady to help alleviate her worries.


No one in this room knows he's from Crime Sorciere, and that's how it should be. These mages operate differently and perform better as a large group. For his guild, they usually work in small cells of 1 to 3 mages. Crime Sorciere was indeed strong, but it is also severely undermanned. Members need to work with what they have. They reap no glory as most of them were 'lost flock' according to their master. All had their own dark past. The guild served more as an opportunity for repentance and redemption for its members.


Ein thought it was time for him to speak up. "I have no objections working with you people but I'd rather much take individual action after my own assessments." he said straight up. "I'd pretty much prefer to be the last line of defense or intervene when things go sour." he aired out. "Besides, I assume you guild mages would like to keep to yourselves."


"Let's just say that I'll serve as a back up or last resort if you will. If all of you are as capable as you all seem or think to be, all of you will be able to do just fine without me. You have no objections about that, right?"


In truth, Ein thought there were a lot of variables and unknowns. Ein needs a better grasp of the situation before taking action. Recklessness here would mean the end for them. He thought it was best if he was there during a critical juncture in this whole situation. It might seem cruel that he's seemingly using them as pawns but it was crucial if they were to win this. Out of all the mages here, he was probably the strongest.
 

Aedon Strom/Fermata Clef


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




Electromodified​



Aedon listened in on the new plan, becoming more amused by the minute. It was obvious that the current plan only tapped the surface of their potential. Each wizard may be able to handle a specific aspect from their respective opponents, but it wasn’t clear that they could work well together. After letting a few other wizards give their viewpoints, Aedon said, “The basis of our plan is sound,” he gave Fermata a little nudge before continuing, “However, I think the teams should be modified slightly.”


With that he walked over to Shin and gave him a friendly whack on the back, “Lizard breath here was on the right track with his plan. However, there are some flaws in the Lennix team. First I’d like to point out that cats have sensitive hearing. So we shouldn’t be putting Fermata on the same team as our neko friend. On top of that, Lennix’ own knowledge of illusions would pretty much cancel Blake’s out. Now, I’m not saying I doubt his abilities, just that they’d be more effective elsewhere. Secondly, there is still the rumor of Lennix’ death touch. I don’t know the extent of Blitz’s transformation magic. However, from what I’ve observed, it is more of a physical magic. On top of that, I prefer hand-to-hand combat. Based on that, Fermata and Alicia would be the best suited for fighting Lennix. I personally will go wherever I’m needed, but I believe my high impact magic would be best suited on Ryos’ team. I know this leaves things a little lopsided, that’s why I think we need to modify the teams. My opinion would be to find someone with archive magic who can gather all the information on the fighting wizards and be able to piece together the most effective teams. I agree with Ryos that the compatibility must also play a factor. However, you must all realize that we are fighting together, as one, no matter where we stand. We need to allocate our resources where they will be most effective. Yet we must act quickly, for we may not have much time.”




You Missed a Spot
​



Fermata listened intently to Aedon’s speech, groaning at his ‘sound’ pun. “I agree that we need to make sure these teams will work together, but it seems that you’re taking everyone away from my team and not replacing them.” Fermata placed her hands on her hips. “If this Lennix guy is really as powerful as you say, we’re going to need more than two people in order to defeat him.”


Aedon thought for a second. “Well if you think you need more of a... handicap... Fer-not-a. I mean, ole' pal. I do have some suggestions. Ryos would probably be better suited against Lennix. I’ll just say it’s not smart to touch a poison dragon slayer, am I right bud?” he says as he elbows Ryos, “Also, maybe that dreamcaster kid would be helpful too. What was his name again? Malerie?”


Fermata faced palmed at her companion’s idiocy, “You don’t have to go along with this nimrod’s ideas if you don’t want to Ryos, but he’s right that we need to put some serious thought into these teams. You’re the leader though, so I guess you get final say.”


Aedon frowned, “I’ll have you know that nimrod means great hunter, everyone. So, back to the point. If you switch, Ryos, I could take over your position there. But it’s your call boss man.”

The small celestial bear was writhing and squirming within Rei's grip- letting out squeaks of distress as it waved it's paws towards Dakora. After a few minutes of attempted flailings, he laid limp in the girl's arms like a , knowing that it couldn't fight back the child-like demon of a girl. Magick was not an option either- remembering last time he had used an attack on her. All of his spores were sucked into the girl's body, turning her into a raging monster who truly wanted to cuddle him to death. The tiny celestial bear shuddered, letting Rei have her way. @kirito1337

Donald 'Dusty' Houns and Jacob Foles

Monster of the Earth and Warden of the Fog

Jacob slid his glance over to look at Ryos, and smiled warmly. As much as it seemed to be the opposite expression that should inhabit is face -one of either pain or self-disappointment. "Mister Delmora, I don't want to seem rude in saying this, but did I ever say we wouldn't save Vaiya from Raccoon Alliance? As much as we send people to save Vaiya, there is also Sheriff Kandosii that we must search for. I assume that they have them both in the same area, if not in the same place exactly. I only want to help in anyway that will make up for what I failed."


Dusty rolled his eyes, getting over the surprise of his friend walking around after being unconscious only some little time ago. "I swear, Jake. You're going to kill me someday."


"And you I, Don."


Dusty gently patted his friends shoulder, and looked at Ryos. Ryos was powerful, and he knew his strength secondhand through watching his fighting strategy. He was string even when he was holding back, and a Poison Dragon Slayer could be deadly if he was enraged enough, though so could any Dragon Slayer, but Poison was a little scarier. That got Dusty's gears spinning. When he had been under Boulder's training, he had been locked in a cave for days until he could practically feel the earth around him, and learned to devour the hard substance with ease. But what did someone learning Poison Dragon Slayer Magic go through?


He shook his head and left it to ask him later. "I'm just worried, you know, Ryos? We weren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye during our last time together, and if something bad happened to her, then it will bother me until the end's of time. It just...bothers me..." He shook his head again and replaced his grave look with a more confident one, lined with his smirk. "And Echidna? I barely helped. All I did was smash the heads of a couple golems and get into a tough scuffle with a God Slayer. I'm only an extra in this." He punched Ryos playfully, although a little too rough, in the shoulder, laughing. "And you better not die during this, alright? You and I still have that fight in the future you promised me!" He laughed, while Jacob only gave a small chuckle. Inwardly, he was fearing that Dusty would drag him along to that fight.


Dusty's eyes scanned back over the crowd, looking at each mage in there. His eyes managed to fall back onto Dakora, and he could practically smell her discomfort and fear. He frowned, and turned to look at his two friends. "Hey, I'll be right back." He walked briskly over to Dakora without waiting for a reply.


He stood in front of her and lightly laid his hands on her shoulders, worry on his face. "Hey, you okay? You look really pale..." He tried to speak gently, but his voice was scratchy and too deep. He growled at himself.


Jacob watched Dusty approach the girl and snickered. He glanced over at Ryos. "I think I'm having the most fun watching Dusty, Monster of the Earth, try to be a softy around her. It's way unlike him. It just makes me giggle." He chuckled a little louder. He then turned around to look at Alyssa. "I hope you're fine, Miss Gardner. I truly didn't mean to give you any harm. But this person is no joke. In my opinion, I would approach him with the most extreme caution. I know his strength firsthand." He winced as he rolled his shoulder, the bandaged skin of his back burning.

Novus Clive




"Er.." It was crazy. She didn't quite get it, but decided to leave well enough alone.Watching the cat shiver in ecstasy, the question about Malda caught her unawares. "What?" She nearly yelled. "Ah. Sorry for the noise. I mean, what about Malda? Why do we need to find her? Did something happen?" Hands were on her hips now as for one moment, suspicion crept forth. "Did you..try to do something to her..?" Novus closed her eyes, waving a hand in front of her face from side-to-side. 'No. No. Shoo. Shoo. Can't be. She'd kill him for sure.'





"Okay then. Make yourself comfortable. It may be some time till I find her though. She could be anywhere." Novus sighed, watching the cat coo in waves. 'Maybe I was just imagining things.' With a shake of the head, the woman slipped out of the room into the hallway. Heading left, she wondered where her sister could have gotten to. 'Jeez. It's like having another Rei. I need to get a leash for this--'


"Malda! Malda is that you?! What's wrong??" Bending down towards the girl huddle against the wall with out-stretched arm, Novus





Maldachika Clive



"DON'T TOUCH ME!" It was like a gunshot. The words bounced off walls and reverberated down the length of the hall. Yet after a brief hesitation, her younger sister came closer still. "WHAT DID I JUST SAY TO YOU?! DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME GIRL?! I SAID STAY AWAY!" But she wouldn't. In moments, Novus' arms wrapped around Malda in a loving embrace. Unable to hold it in anymore, Malda bawled out the whole of her soul. "Why did you kill them Novus?" She wailed. "Why couldn't you share?? Why did they have to be yours?? I tried..I tried..I just wanted love! I just wanted them to love me!" Her face was buried deep into her sister's arms, tears pouring out like waterfalls. "I just wanted them to love me.."





15 minutes Later



Novus Clive & Maldachika Clive




The door opened and a gaunt-looking Novus entered in, holding the wrist of a bleary-eyed Maldachika in tow. Though linked by touch, the two did not look at one another. It was the younger who broke the melancholy silence. "He wants to tell you something," the girl peeped. Malda looked over to Zac, embarrassed to be seen in such a state, but still attentive nonetheless. "Tch." Looking down to the floor now, she shifted uncomfortably waiting for him to speak. "Well? What is it? You don't have to say thank you for the room if that's what it was. It was nothing."

Zac & Adria

​



Apologies & Reconciliation

Zac turned his eyes and turned a little red at Novus’ comment. He had not meant to peek but it was just his nature to want and look. Her body was so soft looking and perfect. His eyes just couldn’t help but want to steal a look. But! Alas! that was not the reason. His reason for wanting to see her again was much more important than that.


Novus finally disappeared and went to retrieve her sister for them, leaving Adria and Zac to their own device.


Adria looked up at him curious? “Who was this Novus and the other person?”


Looking back down at her, his eyes soft and his expression filled with a bit of sadness. “They saved me, and you. I need to ask you something Adria and please make sure you think about it cause its very important.”


“Mhmm.” She nodded and purred shortly.


“Novus and Malda. They are sisters and Malda is a guild leader. I don’t know if they are strong but they survived all that stuff in the town we found. And I... The darkness took over again.” Zac got choked up for a moment and couldn’t talk.


Adria tilted her head, she understood that he was upset but not 100% on why.


“I... I...” Tears rolled down his cheeks. “If I ever hurt you or anyone else, I would never be able to forgive myself.”


There was a minute or two of silence between the two before Adria spoke up in her soft child like voice, “Zacky. Then lets do what you think is good so that you won't be sad anymore. What is it that you want to do, cause like, you know I’ll always follow you.”


Zac nodded and Adria purred.


~12 Minutes Later

Novus came through the door, with Malda in hand. Their two of them looking rather roughed and torn. Seeing her in such a weary state, but again, reinforced with that attitude, it simply proved that he was correct. That he had made an erroneous call of character and reinforced his actions that he was about to do.


Forcing himself up, he stood in front of the both of them before looking back at Adria, who had already jumped down and stood next to him. All three of them dwarfed her size, but this did not stop her.


His voice was low and crackled slightly in madness. Not at his hosts, but that he always seemed to make such errors of character and that while coming such a long way, his darkness always got the better of him. “I...” a moment passed before he rushed Malda, wrapping his arms around her and squeezing her tight for a second. Whispering in her ear. “I’m so sorry for treating you badly. I appreciate everything you and your family have done for us. I hope you can forgive me.”


Slinking down as his grip loosened, he took a step back before dropping to his knees with a thud. The pain was intense, but deserved. Bending over her caught the floor with his arms and finally placed his forehead on the ground before her feet. Adria followed as best a cat could, bending over with forehead on ground in front of Novus.


“Please, somehow, forgive me and in return allow Adria and I to become both of your personal Mage Apprentices. Your guild, your servants, your friends! What ever it takes! Just teach us how to be proper mages!!”


“Yea! meow~” Adria replied. “Though I don’t have powers. I will, like, totally do anything I can! Meow~”


Both of them waiting on the floor, trying to show the most for their respect and gratitude to their hosts and with any luck, instructors.

"I didn't miss you at all. I just didn't want to miss out on the action, but it looks like the Raccoon Allience hasn't made a move yet...," Kyoya grumbled. "And the meeting ain't over, they've just started talking strategy. Now if you're done with your beauty sleep we should head back and represent Raven Tail." (@The Servant ) Kyoya merged into his shadow and made his way back to the wizard meeting. He glided over to his static shadow-make clone and made it disappear as he quickly reemerged from his shadow.


He caught the part of Shin's plan that involved him and overheard Dekora's doubt. The brooding Raven Tail wizard leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. "If you ain't gonna fight him then that leaves more fun for me." Even though the statement sounded mean spirited, it was really Kyoya's weird way to let his guild mate know that he had her back.

Ryos Delmora

​



"Mister Delmora, I don't want to seem rude in saying this, but did I ever say we wouldn't save Vaiya from Raccoon Alliance? As much as we send people to save Vaiya, there is also Sheriff Kandosii that we must search for. I assume that they have them both in the same area, if not in the same place exactly. I only want to help in anyway that will make up for what I failed."


"Fair enough," Ryos nodded.


"I'm just worried, you know, Ryos? We weren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye during our last time together, and if something bad happened to her, then it will bother me until the end's of time. It just...bothers me..." Dusty shook his head again and replaced his grave look with a more confident one, lined with his smirk. "And Echidna? I barely helped. All I did was smash the heads of a couple golems and get into a tough scuffle with a God Slayer.I'm only an extra in this." He punched Ryos playfully, to which, in reaction, Ryos flinched a bit. "And you better not die during this, alright? You and I still have that fight in the future you promised me!"


"I understand, we'll find her together," Ryos said, patting Dusty on the shoulder. "If I recall, the final, giant golem was taken down by you. Perhaps my memory is a bit foggy?" Ryos said jokingly, knowing full well what had happened. Plus, Ryos would never doubt his memory, it was one of his finest qualities. Dusty's final comment caused Ryos to think. At the beginning of this mission, Ryos was still on edge about his first kill. He didn't trust his own powers or his control over them. He was hesitant to accept Dusty's original request, unsure of if he would be able to keep himself from going too far and poisoning Dusty. After all, win or lose, a Poison Dragon Slayer would still be able to infect an opponent, and if Ryos got carried away, that poison could be fatal and would need immediate treatment. Now, however, his confidence had come back to him. He was ready to get back in the fight, and he was happy to battle a man he considered an equal. It would truly be a fight to remember.


"Don't worry rock-eater, that battle is the reason I won't die. I can't die until we've fought at least once," Ryos smiled.


Very Short Moment Later

With everyone putting in their two cents towards the game plan, Ryos was starting to get annoyed (not like that took much anyway). All these people correcting each other's tactics was going to go on forever. Everyone obviously would have different way of going about fighting Raccoon Alliance.


Just the thought brought back memories.


Flashback

In the year x982, Ryos Delmora had just achieved a goal he had strived to achieve ever since he had first set foot into the wonderful halls of Lamia Scale. He had finally gained the title of S-Class. At the age of 14, he had proven to have the potential to stand amongst the greats of Lamia Scale history. Of course, he was only still a child, and would have much to prove in the coming years.


Looking to get a quick start, the young Dragon Slayer was preoccupied with the S-Class job board. Fortunately, it was filled with a diversity of jobs to choose from, due to the long drought of S-Class wizards in the Lamia Scale guild.


Sneaking up behind Ryos, Myla Romanov, Lamia Scale's guild master, spoke, "Looking for your first S-Class job? How exciting! I remember choosing mine. Oh, the fiery passion that enveloped me as I grabbed that flyer and took it to the front desk. It seems like just yesterday!" Myla chirped, her eyes sparkling with delight,


"Sorry master, but this is just another job to me. Do we have any jobs that involve dragons?"


Myla pouted, almost hurt that Ryos didn't share her same enthusiasm for the special moments of guild life. "No Ryos, we don't. I've told you that a million times already!"


Ryos, eyes still on the board, simply replied, "That won't stop me from asking."


Curling a strand of her hair on her finger, Myla shook her head. "No of course it won't. I should have known better. Really Ryos, sometimes you just have to-"


"I want to take this one," Ryos interrupted, handing over a flyer to his guild master and mentor.


Myla raised a brow at first, wondering what had taken the interest of her little Ryos. After reading the flyer, she had to catch her jaw from dropping to the floor. This crazy kid was planning on taking a capture mission for his first S-Class job. It was as if he enjoyed trouble.


"Ryos, you know the person you'll be going after won't be the same level as the usual people you take on right?"


"That's the point master. The fastest way to evolve is to take on stronger wizards. I'll get him, he won't be a match for my poisons."


"Alright then, who are you taking with you?"


Ryos gave Myla a blank look. "What do you mean master?"


"Don't tell me you were planning on going alone! Ryos are you actually insane?"


"Master, with all due respect, this will be a tough task. I don't want to endanger my teammates. More than that, I will need to completely focus on my opponent, and I don't have time to look after my fellow guild mate while I'm doing that. As much as I love them, they could hold me back."


For a while, Myla didn't even respond. She wanted to slap her dense student upside the head. She decided on a different approach, however.


"Ryos come with me, I have something to show you," Myla commanded.


Confused, Ryos did as he was told anyway. He followed his guild master through the long hall of Lamia Scale that led to Myla's office. Myla continued on to a door that Ryos had never seen opened before. Myla opened the door, and Ryos was immediately in awe of what there was to be seen.


The door lead to another hall, this one filled with images of past members of the guild. All throughout the walls of the hall were picture frames with group photos and individual shots of previous guild masters as well as images of many different events the guild had been through. Myla kept walking until she found what she had apparently been looking for.


Picking up a frame off the wall, Myla handed the item over to Ryos. In the image, there stood four men, and two women. In front of them all sat an old woman whom he immediately recognized as the Lamia Scale master during the "Time of Troubles" Fiore had faced, when the most legendary of heroes were born. Immediately behind her to the left and right stood two pink-haired women. These two he did not know well, but he knew one was a God-Slayer. Beside each of them was a man. One had a ponytail underneath a hat, and Ryos recognized him only because the guild master at Fairy Tail had perfected his form of magic. On the other side, was a dog-looking man, whom Ryos didn't recognize at all. The last two men, however, Ryos knew perfectly well. Pictured on the right edge was none other than the brilliant strategist, Lyon Vastia, famous for his use of animated Ice-Make magic. On the opposite edge was none other than Jura Neekis, the most powerful wizard to ever bear the Lamia crest.


"If I may ask, why are you showing me this master?"


"I'm sure you of all people recognize those two men on the ends of that photo. Lyon Vastia and Jura Neekis, two of the very best that have ever stepped foot in this very guild hall."


"Yes, but what does this have to do with me."


"Look around them Ryos, what do you see?"


"Other wizards?"


"Yes, and what do you think these other wizards were to Jura and Lyon?"


Ryos, still not knowing what his master was getting at, simply replied, "Well they were guild mates obviously."


"True. But more than that, Ryos, these people were their friends. They always did everything together. Any mission Jura took, you can bet Lyon and the rest of the gang went alongside him, and vice-versa. Their bonds allowed them to exceed their own potentials. Individually, they were strong. Together, they were unstoppable. The same goes for wizards of any guild. You can't imagine what kind of strength you'll gain through fighting with the ones you love."


"I see, thank you for the insight master. Once again, you have given me valuable information. I shall take this with me to my first S-Class mission. I must take off now, I'll be back soon!" Ryos yelled as he ran off, leaving his guild master to sweat drop and palm her face. After that whole speech, Ryos understood not a single word.


End Flashback

"I understand now master. True strength appears when you fight with those you wish to protect, your friends bring out the best in you. I'm ready."


"Look, I appreciate everyone's pitches. You're all the best and most capable wizards Fiore has to offer, and obviously most of you have the experience needed to lead. That being said, we're going to stick to the original game plan because tactics are only half the battle. We need to worry about execution. All of your strategies would work, I'm sure, but remember what's most important to our success. We can not execute, if we are still bickering with each other. We are a team. It's about time we act like one. Whether or not we get along, we have gone passed that point. There's no looking back now. As we head into the final battle of this war, we must look at each other as fellow protectors of a nation. We are brothers and sisters of the same cause. If there are still any of you that believe you are above the team, you can go home now and explain to your guild master how you disgraced the name of your guild. If not, then prepare to put up the fight of your life alongside people who will share your blood, pain, and tears. For Vaiya and the Sheriff, and maybe Novus too, we're going to defeat Raccoon Alliance, but we'll do it together. Now, are we all on the same page, Team Fiore?"

Rei smiled as a new person agreed to help her. Then someone that looked similar to blake walked next to them. She studied him to see if she knew him, but quickly backed off after hearing Ryo's speech. His words were inspiring and powerful. She was getting excited despite the danger that lied before them. She was wondering what she could do next. Everyone else said that they needed to beat the cloak mages first before anyone could be found. Then she remember Shin saying something about her working with Ryos and Klefa to defeat the boom mage. She shiver as explosions where not her thing. But if it was for a friend, she could bare it. Pulled Klefa hand and guided her to the Ryos, "Lets go beat up the bad mage so we can save Novus and the other friends." When they reached Ryos she released Klefa and started tugging on his arm, "Ryos we are ready lets crush them xD ." Her eyes glowed red as she set her goal in front of her. The boom mage was going down.

Blake listened to everything. That "bloody Jerk" from before was suggesting a strategy but was shot down. He assumed that the guy who shot down his strategy was one of the two whose opinion he was asking for: Ryos. Blake liked "Bloody Jerk"'s idea to go against Lennix and, since he hadn't been specified in the original plan, he could still go with that part of the plan. He walked over to the person Lady Kandosii mentioned: "the girl accompanying the man with the Fedora." "Oi, luv; looks like I'm on your team." Blake said when he arrived at Fermata's side, "And it's a good thing too. I saw this guy, Lennix, work his magic. These eyes of mine can see right through his illusions as well as create their own. Perhaps I could put him under a trance just long enough for the others in our group to land a decisive blow."


-----


After Ryos put his last word into the discussion, Klefa was dragged along by Rei. Rei seemed to be eager to start the fight, but Klefa wasn't sure if they were ready quite yet. "Um... We should probably discuss our strategies once we get into our groups first." she said before turning to Ryos, "...I think I would be the most useful fighting against one of the unknown elite 4. My magic lets me adapt easily to different situations. I brought some weapons for my metal magic, but a room with more metal would give me even more versatility."
 

Novus Clive

'So something did happen..' The younger sister mused. 'That hug definitely didn't come from out of nowhere.' What was even more surprising , was what they did afterwards. Not only did the cat stand up on its two hind-legs, but it bowed down in front of her, right along with the boy in front of Malda. "I knew I wasn't dreaming!" Novus exclaimed under heavy breath. The cat was talking again. Yet there were still two more surprises left. The first, Malda stopped sniveling, and for the faintest of time, looked like a true-blue leader of a guild. Holding herself where Zac embraced, Malda's eyes fell towards the two on the floor. Wiping away half-dried tears, the elder sister's face turned solemn.





"Twilight Ogre..is a family. We reside in Magnolia Town, along with the guild Fairytail, so it's only natural a deep bond is shared between our members, as they have amongst theirs. This, is where our similarities end. While they connect to each other through fist-fights, arguments, mayhem and destruction, we here at Twilight Ogre forge ties by different means. Here, we do it through trust, courtesy, honor, and respect. We are all brothers and sisters in Twilight Ogre, and family is above all things." The woman's eyes closed as she delved deep into the heart of her guild. "We are a mafia, and saying that, we did not have the most righteous beginnings. Blackmail, intimidation, extortion; we used any and every possible way to make sure we came out on top. Malda shook her head in shame. "Those days are over. Trust that is true." Now with eyes open the elder Clive looked again at the two requesting admission into Twilight Ogre. "Now we are a guild for the people. We no longer trod over them, but lift them up. We focus less on taking missions to increase our personal prestige, while choosing more tasks that center around helping the helpless. We run off money from providing protection, loaning out mages to other guilds, and generous donations received from the people we've helped. As you will soon see from our...extravagant guild hall, it works out pretty well."




Maldachika then raised her left arm, holding out within reach of Zac and Adria. "If you accept, touch my hand and any other part of your body. Through a combination of both our magic, the Guild Symbol of Twilight Ogre will appear where you point."




'My, my. What a surprise. When she's not having mood-swings or awash under a stream of tears, Malda's not half-bad. Not half-bad at all.' With thoughts drifting towards seeing Rei again, Novus spoke up saying, "Say. Malda. The people of Pinnacle are pretty help-less themselves right now against these Raccoons. What do you say we go lend a helping hand?" The elder looked back clearly annoyed with the suggestion.

"Weren't you listening? Family first. Ready up your chains Novus. Hold the boy down."

"Huh? What? Why?"


"Because he's our problem now."

"Our problem? How? What are you even talking about? The guy is hurt."

"Exactly. That means now is our best chance. There's a reason I told you don't bother saving him."


"Because he was already dead."


"No, dear. Figures it'd slip past someone as un-skilled as you."


"You're not making any sense."


"What I'm saying, is there's something seriously wrong with this boy. His magic is not right. It's off. The best explanation I can give, is that he's a light-bulb giving off a completely wrong color. Instead of white. It's black."

"Okay..."

"Damnit Novus! Trust me! This here is about trust! Do it now before the chance is blown! Don't worry about the cat. If it tries anything, I got it. You just focus on keeping him tight."




[8-Lock Chain Jail]


Novus went for over-kill, using the highest number of locks she could muster. As a pool of chains swirled around Zac, she wondered just exactly what her sister was getting at.




Maldachika Clive

Pointing a hand covered in Crash Magic at Adria, Malda implored the creature to stay back. "Hey cat. You and him seem really close, so you probably already know what I'm trying to do. If not, believe me when I say, I'm on your side."

"How cute, he actually thinks that was a beauty sleep...It was but a mere nap" Maverick thought as he waved his hand at Kyoya, who had now left the room.


After a couple of minutes, which consisted of him washing his face, Maverick left the room. As he walked through the halls of the manor Maverick realized that a very small part of him cared about giving a good impression to the rest of the wizards in that dinning hall. Even if he rarely cared about what others thought of him Maverick knew that some potential allies could be inside that large group of wizards, so he would try to remain awaken and even collaborate in the making of a fitting strategy.


"How hard could it be?..." Maverick thought as he pushed the dinning hall's door open. He had arrived just in time to listen to a man's speech concerning the current matter.


“Well if you think you need more of a... handicap... Fer-not-a. I mean, ole' pal. I do have some suggestions. Ryos would probably be better suited against Lennix. I’ll just say it’s not smart to touch a poison dragon slayer, am I right bud? Also, maybe that dreamcaster kid would be helpful too. What was his name again? Malerie?”


...

title597912481.png


"Really? Malerie?"

​



Maverick couldn't help himself but to loudly sigh. Did that wizard really just confused his name in such a terrible manner? But then again, he couldn't blame the man for doing so, after all they've never met before. He was even surprised about the fact that the man had almost gotten his name right, when Maverick didn't even know his name. Taking these aspects into consideration Maverick decided to simply smile and shrug off the mistake.


"Hello everybody, I am the dreamcaster kid, but please address me by my birth name, Maverick. I do hope we get along..." Maverick said with a smile as he walked across the hall. "Did I miss something important?" He asked as he took a seat near his guildmates.
 
Lady Kandosii

​



“I agree with Ryos here,” Lady Kandosii said. “Although all your proposals have merit, at this moment our greatest concern should be complete cooperation regardless of which plan we execute.”


The silverette returned to adjusting the holographic display above the conference table. She had been analyzing each of their suggestions and evaluating their worth for the past minute or so of discussion, and believed she had come to a satisfactory conclusion. Green light shaped into text that sprawled across the air as she manipulated the Lacrima controlling device, creating a interconnected array of categories that described each team the mages would be divided into.


“The wizard Daichi will be opposed by the mages Dusty, Jacob, and Lightning. Dusty and Jacob have good synergy according the Shin, and it’s assumed that Lightning is familiar enough with them that they’ll be able to work together. They will take Daichi through the rune emplacements to the swimming pool and hotspring in the East Wing of the manor. Ideally, their strength against the Earth element and capacity for teamwork will allow them to overcome Daichi.”


“Stein will be trapped in that same East Wing, but more towards the narrower Servant’s Quarters and hallways throughout it. Against him we will deploy the mages Ryos, Rei, and Blake. Although some have suggested high impact Magic to defeat this dark wizard, Lady Kandosii highly recommends the opposite. The Servant Quarters are constructed by highly durable material and reinforced by Magical Runes. For reasons irrelevant to this battle, there’s usually an abundance of explosions and Magical Attacks in that region, thus meaning that those corridors are often used to reflect and disrupt powerful attacks. Therefore, sending more destructive wizards against Stein will backfire more than it would help. The subtle illusions Blake uses can allow for Ryos to set up unexpected attacks with his poison. Furthermore, although the walls will not entirely stop Stein’s attacks if he’s as powerful as expected, they should limit and confine them enough that they pose a serious risk to himself if he utilizes large explosions. Because this heavy damage can also extend towards Blake and Ryos as a result of the hallways, the wizard Rei will be needed to shield them from Stein’s Magic.”


“The mages Aedon, Fermata, Kyoya, Dakora, and Maverick will engage Lennix. Although Aedon has expressed his desire to fight in close, opposing Lennix will most likely require a level of coordination and strategy beyond the norm. Aedon will thus be acting as the tactical leader. Overall, this team will fight Lennix in this room, the main dining hall, and the lobby directly adjacent to this, where they will have a larger space for stronger mobility to avoid Lennix’s area-of-effect attacks and touch while launching Magical attacks from a range. If necessary, Aedon will also be the one to engage Lennix in hand-to-hand if he enters close range with any of the friendly mages.”


The matriarch took a moment to glance at a silver-haired boy that called out to her. "Ma'am, I'm sorry I was unable to defend your daughter. I have only recently recovered from a near fatal illness, so my strength was not at full scale. When we engaged in combat with the man who presumably took your daughter, I managed to see he used a mix of water and air magic, similar to myself. Only it was very ferocious and more offensive than supportive. I had tried to attack him before he blasted me into a wall and rendered me useless," he said with a regretful look, attempting a bow to apologize.


"Thankfully, I can fight if needed here. I got away with some nasty bruises on my chest and face, some broken skin on my back, and one or two broken ribs. Also, he has another interesting magic. It seems that he can focus magical pressure into an unknown radius, and makes his enemies crush under the weight. It is troublesome, and I worry for any mages that come up against him."


“I understand,” Lady Kandosii replied, remembering the recording she saw of the icy blonde’s strength. He was not one to be underestimated. With that, she began operating the lacrima once more to add more to the green holographic text.


“The blonde dark wizard will be engaged by Shin, the 'Iron Man,' Blitz, Karla, Alvina, and Alyssa. As the wizard Jacob has experienced, this mage appears to extensively use an offensive style of Water and Air Magic. He appears to have extremely powerful ranged attacks in his arsenal, and is apparently able to focus Magical Pressure to crush his opponents. This team will bring the blonde Raccoon to the West Wing, where a variety of wider courtyards and narrow hallways should provide enough terrain to find cover against his ranged attacks. Furthermore, although we are unaware of his hand-to-hand capabilities, mages that can deal a large amount of damage in close quarters will be deployed to combat him. Other mages that can shield, support, or otherwise defend them from ranged attacks will also need to do so. In addition to that, Lady Kandosii advises an coordinated assault from multiple against this foe. By striking from multiple points at once, it may be possible to bypass his ranged attacks and land an attack on his person.”


“Finally, the unknown enemy will be fought by Qrow Harper, Klefa, Kono, and Velexus. We are completely unaware of this foe’s capabilities, but we will proceed with the assumption that he or she is as dangerous as the rest of them. For that reason our specialist team of Spearheart, Aiden, and Ein will be positioned closest to them to provide emergency support to them first, and to other teams second. This one will be engaged in the local dining hall of the West Wing, located in the center of that complex where our team will be able to reposition themselves to more advantageous areas if necessary.”


Lady Kandosii looked up from her concentrations. Breathing deeply, she recomposed herself into a figure of perfection. Operating the lacrima system required intense concentration, and such prolonged usage tended to wane on her fortitude. With a loud and calm voice, she began addressing the mages present once more.


“Once a team has eliminated their opponent, they will proceed to assist any other teams still engaged in combat until all the Raccoon Alliance wizards have been defeated. I assume some of you have your own methods of long-range communication, but if not then we have acquired some experimental technology to use,” she said, waving over a butler waiting by the side. The impeccably dressed servant laid out a cardboard box upon the conference table, opened it, and picked out a rectangular object from its insides. About as wide as a head and half that in height, the object seemed to be made out of a dark metal of some sort, with a bright silver stick pointing out of one end and two headphones with microphones attached to it.


“As I recall, this item is what is known as a portable radio. Research and development has been studying Pergrande tech recently, and have designed a smaller and more mobile radio system similar to Pergrande’s own. With this, up to two radio operators can communicate with other radios within the manor to call for help or relay information as necessary. This particular radio is specced to be resistant to both magical and physical damage, and thus can sustain punishment before it breaks. Nonetheless, I recommend keeping this device out of harms way if at all possible,” the silverette finished, signalling towards to butler to take out five other radios, making a total of six available. “Perhaps it’s not ideal, but this can be used as a last resort if necessary. Keep it with you.”


Lady Kandosii waved the butler away and produced a serious expression across her face to address another matter.


“In any case, once all the Raccoons have been eliminated, we will regroup in the North Wing to stop Alistair from breaching the vault. Among the various artifacts in there include several weapons and items that will benefit him; if he makes it in, then I’m unsure if all of you mages combined will be able to stop him,” she said, greater intensity apparent in her voice.


“And if possible, as a favor to me I suppose...I would like you to rescue A’den and Vaiya Kandosii from harm as well.”

Rei Gladiolus


Rei was seriously confused by most of the things the light talker was saying but there was one thing she understood. It was her job to protect Kitty. Her confused look vanished as she looked around the room for the kitty man. Then Klefa's words echoed through her head... *bah bah too strong bah bah kitty neck snap* she calmed her self down so she could focused. She wanted to hug the kitty but she did not want his neck to snap. The hamster in her head started running on its wheel until she got an idea. Instead of hugging his neck, she would hug his chest. Then his neck won't snap... But what if he used is magic eye trick. She will have to try really hard to not fall for it. That did not matter though she had to protect him from the boom Mage with Ryos. Wait Ryos that was it. Ryos was super strong. Maybe he could teach her how to beat the magic eye trick.


Rei took a big glup of air then started taping Ryos, "Excuse me Mr. Ryos... I have a question"

Dakora Aura


Heaven's Queen
​



Suddenly a pair of hands rest upon her shoulders. The pink haired mage shuddered, wide golden eyes looking up to see a worried Dusty trying to calm her


"Hey, you okay? You look really pale..."


Dakora uttered a stressed laugh- hoping that it could relieve his worries "Y-Yes! O-Of course I-I am alright!" she stuttered with a stoic face even though her hands shaking. "I'm...just...anxious for this battle to begin. That's all." reluctantly keeping her unreasonable fear of the unknown to heart, the air-caster gave him a light smile; hoping she hadn't worried him too much. Dakora fiddled with the knot on her broken belt, making sure that her celestial keys were secure enough to last a vigorous fight. It wasn't in her intention to get hurt again- especially since The Monster of The Earth wouldn't be there to save her. @Refaulted


The pinkette mage glanced over at the shadow wizard as he leaned against a wall, seeming a little different than just a moment before. "I'm glad that even if I'm out...that someone will still be enjoying the fight." she replied with a faint smiled, listening to the friendly mage speak again.


“The mages Aedon, Fermata, Kyoya, Dakora, and Maverick will engage Lennix..."


Dakora blinked "Oh, well I suppose we'll be fighting together after all. Raven Tail members no less." she muttered in a calm surprise. Never had the girl fought with the other members of her own guild, but she seemed content with the arrangement; gladly accepting the chance to experience the power of her guildmates. The thought distracted her from the fear of fighting the unknown opponent, quite happily drifting from her mind. @shadowdude505


"Lennix will most likely require a level of coordination and strategy beyond the norm. Aedon will thus be acting as the tactical leader. Overall, this team will fight Lennix in this room, the main dining hall, and the lobby directly adjacent to this, where they will have a larger space for stronger mobility to avoid Lennix’s area-of-effect attacks and touch while launching Magical attacks from a range. If necessary, Aedon will also be the one to engage Lennix in hand-to-hand if he enters close range with any of the friendly mages.”


"Close combat fighter? ...I wouldn't mind fighting this Aedon either..." Dakora tilted her head side to side as she stared down at the tightly bound bandages around her shins. 18 she recalled. 18 fractures in her legs alone from fighting with her legs. A bad habit that her master tried to train out of her, but never quite got rid of. Fighting was enjoyable especially with experienced fighter, even though Vulpecula insists fighting isn't lady-like.
 
Drake was annoyed at the fact that almost everyone was calling him Iron Man so he decided to say "Look my name isn't Iron Man! It's Drake Spiral so stop calling me Iron Man!" He basically told everyone this. Once that was done he then said "I guess I'll fight the blonde dude but..." He looks over at the people who are suppose to fight Lennix "I want to make sure that Lennix is dead before my very eyes! So make sure that you bring me his head...... Then I'll finally be at peace." The last thing he said was more of a mumble and a slight tear rolled down his face.


Aiden looked at the group of mages he was suppose to support "If you guys need any support in the fight give me a call and I'll make sure that you get it!" He said this calmly and was very sure of himself. 'I wonder how much I'll be paid for this?' He thought to himself.
