It's been three hours since Noah has entered Lamia Scale and informed them of what has occurred. Everyone has been informed and is now waiting on something to happen. Noah has already sent out a couple of background mages to help out in Crocus, giving them Lamia’s support. 


Within the three hours Noah’s mind has been wondering; thinking about next possible targets, but nothing really came to mind that was helpfully. His mind was in a slump. He sat at the bar and started to drink, hoping something will come to mind. He took a slow pace so he won't get too drunk just encase something happened. Soon enough a bright light appears within the guild. The magic coming from it felt very similar and powerful. Noah puts down his bottle of wine, knowing very well who's about to show up. He turns towards Maya as she stepped out the pillar of light. It's been a long time since he’s seen her, but she still frightens Noah a bit. So many moments occurs when she had to break up a fight between him and Valken and teach them a lesson. After she calls out to Millie, Noah leaves the bar and walks towards her, knowing damn well that something is about to happen. Especially since she's returned. Noah simply walks up to Maya and a straight face. Hello Miss Maya. He said trying not to create small talk, knowing that now it wasn't the time for it. @Lamia Scale @LeSoraAmari

[SIZE= 16px]The drop off when very smoothly except it took longer than expected. Their father wasn't there when they arrived and they had to wait, but luckily he arrived and the two brothers could return. Miles and Tyson both have been in a hurry. Soon a red void portal appears behind Katherine, and a red energy dome forms around her protecting her from the attacks. Miles and Tyson walk out and stand beside Katherine. Miles on her left and Tyson on her right. [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]Looks like we came back right on time. [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]Miles looks over at Katherine and smiles softly, then returns his attention to the group of mages around them. Miles aura begins to flow from his hands, giving off its familiar warm temperature. Miles' eyes begins to glow red as Miles stared at the Grimoire Heart mages. [/SIZE]You all are responsible for what happened to my town. Many people died, and many had to leave their homes. What you all did is unforgivable. [SIZE= 16px]His aura began to heat up and flow in a more frenzy pattern off of his body. [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]I'm going to kill you all. [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]Miles said with a grin. Miles raises his hands above his head as his aura continues to grow in strength. The dome begins to spin slowly accelerating and growing in temperature. He throws his hands down, causing the dome to explode releasing a spiral wave of red, hot, fiery energy. The wave would leave many with sever burns, while also cutting through them. Miles aura kept it's frenzy like flow as he stood there looking at the destruction he caused, with small fires on the ground. He looks over at Katherine. Are you okay?? @Britt-21 [/SIZE] @Mitchs98

[SIZE= 16px]After they have successfully captured both GH mages, they were transported back to the guild. Dante' placed them in the guilds holding cells. Before Dante' did anything, he wanted to await for Master Hibiki to return.  Soon three hours passed and the two GH mages were completely draining of their magic, and still chained up. The guild was well aware of what happened to Crocus, thanks to some purple haired male. Soon a flash of bright blue light filled the guild. Dante' felt the presence of his master and friend Hibiki. A grin grew on his face. The light dies off and Hibiki was standing in the center of the guild. [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]Glad to see you returned Master. The problem from before has solved. [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]But what about the new problem we have. The council and the royal family has been destroyed. What's next?? [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]Dante' asked with a straight face, trying to keep his anger under control. He was angry, that his past was starting to repeat itself. Grimoire Heart has attacked yet again, and this time they weren't playing. But this time Dante' will avenge those who lost there lives in the destruction. Grimoire will burn to nothing but ash, and he'll make sure of that. [/SIZE]

Location: Sabertooth Guild/Crocus City.


@Britt-21 @Embaga Elder @Solemn Jester @Mitchs98 @sabertoothguild

 
​

Over the past three hours, Masaki was practically forced into the Sabertooth Guild and ushered into their infirmary as Kathy and Eric both tended to him as best they could. Since then, Masaki had been laying in the hospital-like bed with a vast array of bandages covering his chest so as to shield the healing ointments his former guildmates had rubbed into his wounds. As the boy lay there, in total silence, he stared up at the ceiling and contemplated everything. In truth, the red head was very confused at the entire situation, and as he brought his hand up and pointed it towards the ceiling, he also proceeded to briefly stare at his hand before he found his fingers gently running through his hair as he then rested his hand on his neck. Masaki sighed as his hand covered the branded and scarred over Grimoire Heart mark. During his torturing, one of the many things they had done to him was brand their guild sygil into the left side of his neck. Just feeling the mark seemingly brought back all of those memories of the last six years, and it reduced him to tears. 
​

 
​

As the young boy lay there, with tears streaming down his face but making no noise, Masaki closed his eyes and wiped those very tears away before sitting up, and heading over to the shower in the corner of the room. "No one should have to go through that..." he muttered to himself as he took off the bandages and anything else necessary and hopped into the shower, turning the tap on as the water flooded out of the showerhead and onto his being. It took a while to heat up, but after a minute the water was red hot, Masaki washed himself. It felt good, the hot water trickling down him, it was refreshing. And Masaki actually felt at peace for a very brief moment, but that alone was special. Once he was done, Masaki dried himself off and wrapped new bandages around his wounds and on his chest, even going so far as to cover the disgusting Grimoire Heart mark on his neck with them. Then, the teenager dressed himself and then sat upon the bed. It was in that moment, that he could feel strange yet familiar magical signatures lingering in the air, some friendly but most of them not so much. "Grimoire Heart are here." He muttered, his eyes growing wide for a moment before they turned into hateful slits. And so Masaki sprung up and bursts out of the room and through the guild hall, out the front door and through the city as he followed the scent of magic in the air. As people started to hurl attacks at each other, Masaki picked up on both Miles' and Kathy's magic which meant that Tyson was no doubt with them as well. And even though Masaki knew just how capable they were, one couldn't be too careful. After all, they were facing a group of mages from Grimoire Heart, who were capable of de ding a group of four mages into the capital unseen and blow it up in a moments notice, alongside Era. All undetected. So yes, Masaki was extremely worked up however he knew what he had to do. And that was to help. So as he ran through the city and out into the outskirts, the stench of hostile magic in the air grew thicker and thicker until finally he reached the city borders and located Kathy, Miles, and Tyson engaging the invading Grimoire Heart mages.
​

 
​

Masaki's eyes her evermore hateful as he saw the Grimoire Heart mages, his insane magical energy whipping up aggressively as he channeled it throughout his entire being. Although he was gone for a very long time, seemingly separated from his magic as it was blocked off for x amount of years, it was far stronger than ever before now. It felt as though the abstinence strengthened his bond over his magic, and although he could barely control it earlier - Masaki could feel that much needed control had returned in the space of three hours. It was amazing, really. But even then, Masaki was just as unique as that. Very few people can say they made the S-Class rank at 16, after all. No doubt Kathy, Miles, and Tyson could feel the intense energy of his magical signature being emitted from the red head as he stood there with his hands at his side. However, in a moments notice, Masaki clasped his hands together before thrusting outwards, and sent a storm of crystal shards sharper than steel careening towards the enemy group of mages. And so as to accompany that, he also sent bullet sized pieces of hardened mud towards them as well, the two precisely coordinated attacks drew closer and closer towards the enemy as Masaki proceeded to walk towards his allies. "Let me join you and fight." He spoke, simply put. His eyes and very body filled with a burning passion to help. Despite all that had happened to him over the past six years, Masaki was still incredibly kind and incredibly passionate about helping and doing good. 
​

 
​

What would he be without tbose traits?  
​

 
​

So thus Masaki stood there amongst the group of Kathy, Miles, and Tyson - Sabertooth's elites, and Masaki would argue his true family as well. They had helped him, welcomed him back and cared for him as he lay helpless and wounded in his bed. Now... it was his turn to help them.

Katherine looked at the remaining mages. Looking a little bored as they all surrounded her, expecting to do some sort of damage with their formation "...This is quite interesting..." she muttered and just as they attacked, she stood there, a blue shield making itself known known as Nexus shield. Though, before any of the magic attacks could hit her, a red dome had protected her first, making her lower her shield and smile just slightly. Hearing the grass being stepped on from both sides of her. To her left, there was her lovely husband and when she looked to her right, there was her Brother-in-law. "It seems that you did come on time.." she looked at her husband again, listening as he spoke before his aura began to flare up, acting wild before her eyes shifted to the mages where Miles attacked, send some knocked off their feet but as well as burned or cut. What was mostly left was patches of fire in the grass. That was till he had gained her attention by asking if she was okay "I'm not an S class for nothing, Miles..." kathy said softly but nodded anyway "I'm alright..."
​

 
​

Kathy then began to feel an intense energy that was coming off in another direction, her eyes shifted over towards said direction and spotted Masaki who attacked those who were left, sending out crystal shards with the thrust forwards of his hands, not to mention hardened mud which pretty much looked like it hurt far more than what dirt usually did. "Not like we wouldnt let you..." Kathy said and reached out, placing her hand on his shoulder and gave him a soft nod "It seems that they may have been coming for another round... Which is why I interfered when I did..." then as if on que, a loud roar was heard throughout the air and loud sounds of wings flapping followed with it. Before the mage knew it, the ground shook as the creature landed and a large shadow casted over the group of light mages with his menacing glowing eyes and his metalic body. When Kathy looked up, she seen Lionel in his largest form and who was glaring at the dark mages that were in the area. "Hi lionel..." Kathy said as he released another roar and this one, much scarier than the last and far more directed towards any standing mages.
​

 
​

Camille/Mage Group
​

Amongst the group mages that were pretty much getting decimated right off the bat stood Camille clothed in the standard cloak that everyone else had. She sort of watched with a passive and curious expression as the mages continued their assault and eventually got knock off their asses by Miles' attack. Instinctively she'd brought up a shield to protect herself from the blast, just continuing to watch and observe. This was her first actual fight so she wanted to learn as much as possible. From Miles' attack the group was brought down to 10 with several of the 10 being wounded. Before the mages could react further more attacks were tossed at them and their numbers were reduced to a mere 6, this was of course counting Camille. No sooner than the attacks of mud bullets and daggers had taken out more mages did a giant creature resembling a dragon appear..only it was made of metal. With widened eyes she slowly stepped back from the group....before dashing off in the opposite direction of town. Most of the mages looked dead to her, and dead was something she didn't want to be. Orders or not her basic instinct of survival outweighed them by quite a fair margin, all she wanted to do now was get away.
​

Meanwhile the remaining five retreated back slightly as well, eyes looking between everyone there...including the massive dragon thing. An S class and a dragon? That explained a lot as to why Kathy was able to destroy them so easily. "Get him instead!" One shouted in an attempt to be smart, and thus they focused their efforts on trying to incapacitate Miles. Get one down and go through them that way, the big man beside Miles would also soon become a target.

Mitsu 
​

Awaiting by Lucien's side the entire time as he was conversing with both Rasil and Lily. When it seemed as though enough time had sufficiently passed, and it seemed as though Lucien wasn't as busy, Mitsu turned her head in the direction of Lucien. "With all due respect. I don't understand why that girl is even in this guild. That Blue Pegasus mark. It pisses me off, cause I don't really like her. Or trust her for that matter." Mitsu stopped, pausing for a few minutes before opening her mouth once more. "What would you like for me to do? Should I go and assist or stay here. Lucien?.........Or would you like me to go and keep that Lily girl in check?" Mitsu asked, as she patiently awaited for a response from Lucien.

Lucian Grey
​

Lucian looked to Mitsu as she spoke again, waving off the part of the mark. He was suspicious himself still, but as far as he was concerned that could be solved just by tracking her and spying on occasion. Simple as that. At her question he hummed in thought, "You'll go to Margaret town with a few others, destroy as much as you can. Same agenda as the team sent to Crocus." He replied. "...Perhaps you'll have better luck." He added, staring at the screen of the team that was pretty much decimated. He waved her off, assuming she'd leave he'd already prepared the team which would be walking to a portal room he'd set up. It led to a base just outside of Margaret Town that was luckily still in-tact...probably not for long but eh. Two teams of twenty were sent along with Mitsu, the primary team goals being fairly simple which was destroy the town as best as possible and a secondary of incapacitating Lamia Scale members and bringing them back to base for retrieval.

Takeo watched as Lily was hit by the shockwave and fell into her own crater. The only problem was she had no problem with getting out which is just as much as he had expected. However he did notice the mark of Blue Pegasus on her thigh when she shot out the ground. He wasn't completely surprised after noting her behaviour ever since he started killing everyone in Balsam. "Ah... It all makes sense now... It's no wonder you tried to stop me then." Takeo cracked his knuckles ready to continue the fight and saw the girl from before run back up with her shield, more than impressed by how the hell she's able to carry the whole thing. Lily seemed to refer to her as Alara which only made him smirk. "Alara is it? Tell me. How are you able to carry something wih that much weight? Are you actually super strong? You certainly don't look like it... Why don't we put that to the test...?" There was a problem however. Since Takeo ended up dislocating his left arm tossing that shield. It's only going to be easier for it to happen again until it fully heals. In other words he's going to have to be careful or else he could snap it out of place again punching the side of a building... Wait... Is that lightning he hears? Takeo got distracted thinking about his arm. Getting wounded in battle was quite rare for him so he ended up gretting distracted and giving time for Lily to launch her attack. The lightning racing through the ground surprised him and only just barely managed to cast his Stone Skin spell before he was hit by the strike and completely paralysed. Takeo for once lost his smile and was instead replaced by the look of surprise. "Crap..." He was only able to let out a single word before he fell backwards onto the ground unable to move a muscle. A giant flower popped up and closed its petals around him as the whole thing filled up with lightning, shocking him even further.
​

 
​

Once the attack was over, the flower released it's grasp and left Takeo looking slightly burnt all over. It was a good thing he just barely managed to cast Stone Skin. That attack caused him pain that he had forgotten about so many years back. However he still wasn't done. Takeo managed to stand up on his two feet and locked eyes with both Lily and Alara with his own eyes wide open and filled with bloodlust with a smile so twisted it was painful to look at. It was about time he got serious. "Hey... That really hurt you know that?" Then he started laughing with sadistic joy. Facing an opponent with that much power was all too exciting for him. "Oh don't worry. I'm not angry. I haven't had this much fun in years! As a reward... Your death will be quick! Of course I'll have to deal with any obsticles first..." Takeo spoke those last words while glancing to Alara. That girl could easily defend Lily from his attacks so he needed her out the way. Takeo fully focused his magic into his hands and legs, removing the stone skin in the process. At this point Takeo was throwing away any kind of defense on his person and going all out offense, he quickly focused his magic into another ground stomp. This time directing the shockwave towards Alara to get that pesky shield out the way. Once Alara was in the air Takeo sprinted towards her and done a spinning kick to get her out the way and focus on Lily with his Flurry of Brutality spell. "I told you I''d deal with you later... A~LA~RA." Having this active grants him increased speed and power behind his blows. Combining this with his martial arts he went ahead to kick and punch Lily without leaving much room for openings. Normally people are torn apart by this move. But Lily was tough, he kew that much.

Location: Lamia Scale Guild - Margaret Town.

​

Maya couldn't help but smile at the many faces gathered before her. Everyone had grown and matured so much, and some... had not. As one such girl approached her and claimed that she would be unrecognisable to the Wizard Saint, Maya practically scoffed in response. "Ferra, my dear, do you really think that I would forget you?" The woman continued to stand there retaining a graceful yet fearful aura as she waited for Millie to make her appearance as well. It was then that Maya recognised a familiar magic behind activated, alongside the discreet shuffling across the guild as she turned her head to look upwards and saw Shiro seemingly appeared to be hiding from her, to which Maya automatically picked up on, and thought nothing by it. Perhaps the girl thought that she was angry with her? That was potentially likely, however Maya was definitely not angry with the white haired beauty. The Wizard Saint retained her graceful and composed composure all throughout her waiting and intricate glancing, however before she could even say anything in order to shed light on Shiro, Maya felt the presence of evil magics seeping into Margaret Town, and within a moment notice; many screams and the sounds of deranged magical laughter sunk into the soul of the once peaceful town. "They have come..."
​

 
​

In a moments notice, the woman's persona changed from that of serene and composed to that of anger and terror. The woman exuded the very likeness of fearfrom her body, and as her magical energy seeped out and began to coat the air with its pressure, she made her ways towards the guild doors before standing in front of them. Then, the woman turned to face all of Lamia Scale. The woman spoke with an extremely sincere tone in her voice, and her demeanour and aura carried such terror that it truly emphasised just how furious she was. The density of her aura grey thicker by the second.  "As I'm sure some of you may have noticed, we are under attack. Grimoire Heart have invaded this place and they seek to  bring destruction and death upon us. We must not allow it. Protect the civilians, get them out of here as soon as possible. Dispatch of the invaders as you deem necessary and do it all with the integrity and passion of Lamia Scale. Make them pay." And with that, Maya hurriedly left through the doors and made her way into the town. What she saw, was horrifying. 
​

 
​

Grimoire Heart has begun causing terror in Margaret Town. By the looks of things, they were working in two seperate groups of significant numbers quite evidently with the aims of causing a mess of things. Maya's eyes widened as she looked upon Margaret Town. Grimoire Heart wear tearing through the town like a plague of locusts as they destroyed homes, monuments, trashed gardens, set fires, and even terrorised the civilians. The screams coming from the civilians as the fled split the air and cut the atmosphere as the attackers cut them down in the most brutal of ways. Some civilians had even been rounded up into small groups, and publically executed in the central town so as to give a message to Lamia Scale. Maya clenched her fists as she looked upon the scene in both horror, and anger. As more and more civilians were rounded up and killed, some were even thrown around like rag dolls and became the play things of Grimoire Heart, being tormented and mistreated abusively before being brought to a slow and agonising end. They were even trapping civilians in buildings and green setting those such building aflame. The woman's magic aura seemingly exploded as it encased the entire of Margaret Town within its touch. In fact, the potency of Maya's magical power was so intense that it began to darken the clouds, and its presence could most likely be felt from the other towns too, nearby of course. Upon clasping her hands together, Maya generated a large torrent of water from out of nothing and let it wash down over a few buildings so as to douse the flames by using a weak spell of her terrain effect magic. Maya however didn't help them any further, for she knew that the members of Lamia Scale would  come with aid - she just hoped to god that they were prepared for this scene. Margaret Town was nothing but a graveyard now, with burning buildings and the screams of the dying. It was terrible.
​

 
​

Maya caught the second group of attackers heading towards the Lamia Scale guild itself, approaching from the back end of the town so as to catch them by surprise. Maya channeled her telekinetic magic throughout her entire being as she shot through the sky and then landed smack bang in the middle of the group, sending each and every member flying outwards as the Saints magic radiated from her in a controlled frenzy. After recovering from the sudden blast, the Grimoire Heart mages began to surround Maya as the woman stood there with eyes of daggers, staring into the souls of each and every member. They all knew full well who they were about to go up against, however none of them fled and although absolutely terrified, they put on a brace face before two of them bolted towards the guild hall and the rest towards Maya. "Lucian made a mistake in sending you here, he has sent you all to your deaths." Upon saying that, Maya slammed her palm onto the ground as she sent a shockwave of pure magical energy through the ground, tearing through the rocks and the earth as it was then all sent hurling towards the dark mages in a frenzy. Then, she channelled telekinetic energy in her palms as she thrusted towards the two heading to the Lamia Scale guild hall. The large blasts of telekinetic magic seemingly tore through everything in its path, and upon making contact with the Grimoire Heart mage's, sent them blasting through the walls of the guild hall and out of the other in a swift yet berserker like motion. 
​

 
​

The other 18 mages that had surrounded the woman backed away in terror for a brief moment, before charging towards her once more. As one of the mages went to punch Maya, she ducked her head gracefully before spinning on the spot and kicking at their face sideways, shattering their jaw and sending them flying into a tree nearby. Then, she thrusted her hand once again and sent two more careening away brutally as they blasted through one of the houses in the town. Two Grimoire Heart Mages came charging towards her at both sides and so in response, she seemingly vanished from sight as the two current attackers began to scream in agonising pain before running each other through with their blades, and both falling to the floor dead. Upon dispelling the illusion on the group, Maya 'appeared' behind another mage and placed a hand on his back, blasting him with telekinetic energy as it tore through his body like a gun to flesh. Before the blast headed off into the distance and exploded in the nearby woods, leaving behind a large crater in its wake. Maya then stood there effortlessly as she began to laugh, a slightly crazed look in her eyes as she mockingly smiled at the Grimoire Heart mages. "Truly, Lucian only sent mages of this caliber to attack us? What a deluded fool. That man has no credibility or respect for his superiors. Sending weaklings such as yourselves to attack Lamia Scale was a fools errand, and you are all going to die for it." After saying that, Maya clasped her hands together as a very large magical presence swirled around her. She began to channel it through her hands as she then spread her arms out with an empty look on her face. "Vanish." After a moment of intensifying the magic, the sky began to react to the intensity of her magical aura, the power of a wizard saint. And as she slammed her hands together, a large blast of telekinetic energy seemingly exploded from out of Maya in a dome like shape. It cut through everything in its path, and quite literally tore through the remaining Grimoire Heart mages. Upon being hit, they each shrieked in absolute terror before the noise stopped in a mere moment. After the spell was done, Maya was stood in the centre of a phenomenally large crater and surrounding trees and the like were scattered all over the place, having been picked up in the blast. The Lamia Scale guild hall had only just been hit, and Maya had completely taken off the eastern wall as a result of the spell. Residual magic grew thick in the air and Maya simply chuckled. "Well... that was fun. But now I need to get the dirt and blood out of my clothes. Good heavens." And with that, Maya walked back to the guild hall slowly, her long hair no longer up in a bun, but dropping down as the wind created by her previous attack brushed through it. 
​

 
​

Maya had taken out one team of the enemy, however, the rest was now down to Lamia Scale. And as the primary group of 20 invaders continued to kill and torment civilians, it would be up to Lamia Scale to stop them. 
​

 
​

Before she headed back into the guild hall, entering through the oblitered eastern wall, Maya turned to look behind her and up at a certain location. She had felt a strange magical presence in the air throughout the entire fight, and only now decided to react to it. Knowing full well what it was and who was using it, Maya did nothing but glare towards it with the hellish Morne glare before sending a small bullet of telekinetic energy towards it and shattering the lacrima. Thus cutting out the signal.

@LAMIA SCALE/MARGARET TOWN
​

Lucian Grey
​

Lucian looked to Mitsu as she spoke again, waving off the part of the mark. He was suspicious himself still, but as far as he was concerned that could be solved just by tracking her and spying on occasion. Simple as that. At her question he hummed in thought, "You'll go to Margaret town with a few others, destroy as much as you can. Same agenda as the team sent to Crocus." He replied. "...Perhaps you'll have better luck." He added, staring at the screen of the team that was pretty much decimated. He waved her off, assuming she'd leave he'd already prepared the team which would be walking to a portal room he'd set up. It led to a base just outside of Margaret Town that was luckily still in-tact...probably not for long but eh. Two teams of twenty were sent along with Mitsu, the primary team goals being fairly simple which was destroy the town as best as possible and a secondary of incapacitating Lamia Scale members and bringing them back to base for retrieval.
​

Margaret town....Isn't that where Lamia Scale was located? There was a hint of curiosity as to why of all places, Lucien would want to attack Margaret town. Perhaps it was because he wanted to try and cripple Lamia scale as much as possible to prevent them from reinforcing other guilds. Mitsu decided not to question Lucien's decision and made her way towards the portal room, to see the team that had been assembled. Mitsu carefully took the time to reinforce her two swords with magical barriers and enhancements like she always did before going into battle before stepping into the portal with the rest of the team. Mitsu has also taken a compact communication lacrima which she took from a previous assault with her. 


The two attack teams came out on the outskirts of Margaret Town. 


Mitsu looked at the town from the hilltop as she drew one of her swords, signaling the other team to attack Lamia Scale. Once the attack on the guild had begun, Mitsu signaled half of the second team to go and cause as much damage to the town as possible. 


As the battle progressed, Mitsu became more and more irritated and disappointed as she watched the attack teams get cut down by the Lamia Scale guild. Mitsu grabbed her communications lacrima from her pocket. "Lucien. I'm going to need more than just grunts....Send me more. Or at the very least, someone or something that is competent enough to handle a single Lamia Scale mage." 


Finishing, Mitsu turned around to face the remaining half of the secondary attack force. "Come with me. We're going in." With that, Mitsu and the other half of the second group started to make their way towards the town. As the group inched closer to the edge of the town, Mitsu started to cut down any civilians that got in the way of the group. Not caring if they were just running away or injured. She was really irked that the mages that were sent were weak and too expendable, and were not adequate enough to mount an actual legitimate attack against Lamia Scale. Mitsu stopped in her tracks, as she raised her arm up into the air as several pentagrams appeared beneath a small portion of the town that had not been touch, before snapping her fingers, as a fiery explosion ripped through the the small portion of the town, causing the buildings to crumble and collapse. "Go." Mitsu ordered as the remaining mages started to dispersed to reinforce the other attack group, while two were ordered to remain with her as her escorts.

  Phineas would have probably sulked at the table forever, had he not heard the sudden sounds of destruction and chaos outside. Fires starting, civilians screaming....the half-Neko could hear it all, almost overwhelmingly. His first reaction was to keel over, covering his ears. Despite not looking like a cat, his hearing was abnormally good...painfully good. Then a bunch of dark mages barged in; luckily Maya was strong enough to take them down, but he could still hear those awful sounds. Breathing shakily, Phineas slowly stood up, glancing at his nephews resting peacefully nearby, then at his brother. Nikolas held a fighting stance, though his ears were flattened and twitching nonstop. He turned to Phineas, obvious fear in his eyes. 


  "Shiro, Alexa, Valken, Rudolf. First priority. Gotta keep those creeps away from 'em. Imma kick those assholes' butts." As Nikolas said this, he was transforming into his katana form. Phineas understood what he was getting at and caught his brother in midair. 


  "Guess we're playing Swing Nikolas Around Until You Hit Something now, huh?"


  "Sure. I wonder what the final boss is."


  "Ten jewel says it's Dad." Phineas leapt out of the way of an attack, beginning to swashbuckle against some creepy thug with a cool sword. 


  "PFFT! He ain't a member of Grimoire Heart, ya doop! Ey, adjust your footing. What are ya, a parrot?" Nikolas taunted the guy they were fighting, making a raspberry sound from his sword form. At this point the twin boys woke up and started laughing, thinking this was all some pretty light show or something. "Oh shit! Phineas, sing 'em a lullaby! And more of the parry 'n' thrust! Emphasis on the thrust!"


  "Why don't you sing? I'm nearly out of breath!"


  "'Cuz the last time I sang—who taughtcha how to shoot, your gramma?—" Nik turned back into his human form, kicking the Mage in the face, which left Phineas to kick their opponent in the nuts. "—Dad nearly died of a heart attack, remember?—Man, that guy has a tiny skull—OOPSY DAISY!" The twins just barely dodged a magic attack, but luckily Nikolas turned into an Exceed just in time to fly Phineas into the rafters, where Shiro was. 


  "Fine, I'll sing. Hush a bye babies, your dad can fly, if we don't get out of here, we're all gonna dieeee, when we get attacked, well we're all screwed, I need a vacation, how about you?" 


  "Phineas....that was both beautiful and situationally accurate."

Lily Ann was so grateful when her attack landed and she sort of grinned once the spell ended and Takeo came out charred slightly but it had apparently pissed him off majorly; nope wrong, he said it hadn't made him angry and that he'd been holding back and unfortunately she'd been running magic all day today it seemed, that last spell took a lot out of her and she'd wobbled on her feet kneeling behind Alara for a moment, "Thank you for helping me. I appreciate it..." Lily Ann sounds slightly winded as she pants behind the woman with the shield, remembering her as a protector, which the woman was grateful for in that moment, she needed a little rest. She glanced at Takeo from her place quickly snapping back to her feet when she heard him complain about the fact her spell had hurt him, she was unfortunately feeling weak at the moment though and fell back to her knees panting slightly. God why could he just keep going? Lily Ann was running on fumes at this point! Grumbling she tried to work to her feet again only to falter in this motion when she saw Alara's shield fly with another of those shock waves; which had the added effect of flinging Lily Ann away from the dark skinned protector even as she was round house kicked away from where the green haired woman had just been. Lily Ann was stunned after having skidded across the ground stopping herself by making a small mound that stopped her rolling, she used the mound to push herself to her feet only in time for a flurry of powerful blows to land on her, she bit her tongue hard enough to draw blood to stop the cry of pain that wanted to rip out of her mouth. She could take the blows without being completely destroyed but she felt several bones break, she knew without any help that she was bleeding internally from the attack, even spitting up a little blood which got on Takeo's face since he was in such close proximity to her. Despite all the pain blooming in her body she didn't make a sound not wanting to give Takeo the satisfaction of screaming, she braced herself, earth wrapped around her feet, keeping her on them as she coughed up a few more splatters of blood onto the ground before she raised stubborn eyes that flickered with hate and anger, and sort of gurgled out a few words, "That all you got, buddy? I can't feel a thing from this." Her lips were slightly blood stained even as she smiled at her enemy, a beautiful and probably one of the sweetest smiles she'd given to anyone in a really long time, because Lily Ann knew what was coming, but she'd done something good...hadn't she?
​

 
​

In whatever time she had left, she never let her eyes leave where she was looking but with the bit of magic she had left she teleported the book she kept in a pocket dimension straight to one of the only people she could sense right now; simply because her magic was so close to Lily Ann's own, a mix of green and yellow magic opened up a portal in front of Rosaline which dropped an intricate book bound in wood with green leafy pages at Rose's feet and anyone else's who was in the room with the blonde. Anyone who had grown to know 'Celestia' well when she'd been in Blue Pegasus, would know what that book was, she had carried with her everywhere, after all it was the book that held the secrets to Lily Ann's magic, on the cover the title even read, The Secret of Make Magic, a simple title that would lead one who saw it to not expect it to have an entirely different use to normal Make magic. The book clattered to the floor on it's wooden cover giving an odd sense of finality as it landed, giving the the bad feeling that something awful was about to happen if it hadn't already.

[IneedHealing]

Mitsu 

While the Lamia Scale mages battled the second attack force, Mitsu and her two escorts had managed to climb up to a rooftop of one of the taller buildings, giving her a clear view of the battle that was unfolding in the guild. 


With no response from Lucien about reinforcements, and watching the grunts being cut down by the Lamia Scale mages only served to piss Mitsu off more. She watched as two males, easily knocking out several of her men. Now this wouldn't really be irritating in anyway but, the fact that these two male mages seemed to be fooling around while fighting, almost in a taunting way, only served to strike all of the wrong cords with her. Watching the two, as they knocked out one last grunt before evading a magic attack only made her fume more. The two Grimoire Heart grunts by her side could already sense the tension that was reaching a near breaking point, and both were cautiously distancing themselves from her, to not get caught in the crossfire. Or be used as a meat shield for that matter. 


And sure enough, Mitsu bent her fingers, almost as if she were ready to claw at someone, before stretching out her arm, with her open palm pointing directly at the Lamia Scale Guild Hall. 


A single pentagram appeared at the floor of the guild before it ignited into a fiery explosion. 


After, Mitsu reached for her communications lacrima once more. "All the surviving Grimoire Heart members, spread yourselves out, and stop piling into large groups like idiots, you're only making it easier for them. If they are too strong, then try and trap them. Distract them, or anything that can make them lose their focus or concentration. And don't let them taunt you while they fight. because you are damaging my pride, as well as many others because of your incompetence. So if you're going to fight, then fight properly, instead of making a fool out of yourselves, and me. Or else i'll just come and end each and every one of you myself." 


@Mitchs98 @FemTheHufflepuffRabbit @Arius LaVari @Talon @Spanner @LamiaScaleAttack

 

[Talon]

Talon was right in the thick of things, covered in fire and, currently, burning two of the attackers while chasing them like a lunatic. They were trying to escape or something, maybe trying to get a better position to defend against Talons onslaught. He didn't care and was giving them no to plan as he quickly dashed up and clothesline do the two and knocking them out. He turned and jumped at a few more attackers who were attacking Phin and Nik. "Hey guys ain't this fun!" Talon exclaimed as he bowled past the two brothers and picked up a guy and threw him at the roof before drop kicking him at the wall. He turned and punched another guy in the face with a flaming fist before throwing that guy at another one. He laughed again as he was put into a headlock from behind. "Silly guy, I'm a pheonix you idiot." Before the man could say anything, Talon transformed into pheonix form and began to fly around the guild Hall with the man screaming in terror and clinging onto the burning bird for dear life. He soon jumped off of Talon because of the heat and smacked into the ground probably breaking something. Talon perched on a beam and let out a victorious screech as the last of the attackers were beat to a pulp by the guild members. 'They were gonna have to try harder than that if they wanted to defeat Lamia Scale.' Talon thought.

Takeo watched as Lily was hit by the shockwave and fell into her own crater. The only problem was she had no problem with getting out which is just as much as he had expected. However he did notice the mark of Blue Pegasus on her thigh when she shot out the ground. He wasn't completely surprised after noting her behaviour ever since he started killing everyone in Balsam. "Ah... It all makes sense now... It's no wonder you tried to stop me then." Takeo cracked his knuckles ready to continue the fight and saw the girl from before run back up with her shield, more than impressed by how the hell she's able to carry the whole thing. Lily seemed to refer to her as Alara which only made him smirk. "Alara is it? Tell me. How are you able to carry something wih that much weight? Are you actually super strong? You certainly don't look like it... Why don't we put that to the test...?" There was a problem however. Since Takeo ended up dislocating his left arm tossing that shield. It's only going to be easier for it to happen again until it fully heals. In other words he's going to have to be careful or else he could snap it out of place again punching the side of a building... Wait... Is that lightning he hears? Takeo got distracted thinking about his arm. Getting wounded in battle was quite rare for him so he ended up gretting distracted and giving time for Lily to launch her attack. The lightning racing through the ground surprised him and only just barely managed to cast his Stone Skin spell before he was hit by the strike and completely paralysed. Takeo for once lost his smile and was instead replaced by the look of surprise. "Crap..." He was only able to let out a single word before he fell backwards onto the ground unable to move a muscle. A giant flower popped up and closed its petals around him as the whole thing filled up with lightning, shocking him even further.
​

 
​

Once the attack was over, the flower released it's grasp and left Takeo looking slightly burnt all over. It was a good thing he just barely managed to cast Stone Skin. That attack caused him pain that he had forgotten about so many years back. However he still wasn't done. Takeo managed to stand up on his two feet and locked eyes with both Lily and Alara with his own eyes wide open and filled with bloodlust with a smile so twisted it was painful to look at. It was about time he got serious. "Hey... That really hurt you know that?" Then he started laughing with sadistic joy. Facing an opponent with that much power was all too exciting for him. "Oh don't worry. I'm not angry. I haven't had this much fun in years! As a reward... Your death will be quick! Of course I'll have to deal with any obsticles first..." Takeo spoke those last words while glancing to Alara. That girl could easily defend Lily from his attacks so he needed her out the way. Takeo fully focused his magic into his hands and legs, removing the stone skin in the process. At this point Takeo was throwing away any kind of defense on his person and going all out offense, he quickly focused his magic into another ground stomp. This time directing the shockwave towards Alara to get that pesky shield out the way. Once Alara was in the air Takeo sprinted towards her and done a spinning kick to get her out the way and focus on Lily with his Flurry of Brutality spell. "I told you I''d deal with you later... A~LA~RA." Having this active grants him increased speed and power behind his blows. Combining this with his martial arts he went ahead to kick and punch Lily without leaving much room for openings. Normally people are torn apart by this move. But Lily was tough, he kew that much.

@BLUE PEGASUS GUILD HALL
​

Alara Rezonai
​

 
​

Alara just smirked as Takeo spoke. "As if I'd tell you." She replied in a cold tone. Once the attacks landed and Lily spoke she looked behind her with a cheerful smile, "You're welcome. Just rest. He won't be getting to you anytime soon." She told her reassuringly. She was entirely counting on her attack to wound him enough to knock him out of the fight or damage him enough for Alara to swoop in and pick up the pieces. 
​

 
​

[SIZE= 14px]Alas it did little more than wound him as he stood up. She braced herself for any form of attack, and thus when he executed his series of attacks against her she was partially prepared. Admittedly she wasn't prepared for being tossed into the air.. but she was prepared for the kick to the gut. She coughed as she was briefly dazed and sent sailing into a nearby building. She wasn't out for long as she stood up relatively swiftly. She watched as Takeo beat away at Lily and her eyes widened. If she didn't intervene the chance she'd die was incredibly high.[/SIZE]
​

 
​

[SIZE= 14px]She wasn't going to let that happen...not again. Even if she didn't remember her Lily had a sense of familiarity to her, not only that she defended Balsam and wore her guild mark. Further she'd sworn to always protect those that needed it or she'd sworn to to the best of her ability, part of the Paladin's Oath she undertook to even recieve her magic in the first place. Without a moments hesitation she raised her shield and charged for Takeo at full speed, "Damn you! Leave her the fuck alone you bastard!" She shouted before slamming full speed into Takeo; her shield targeting his already injured shoulder and head.[/SIZE]
​

 
​

[SIZE= 14px]Once Takeo was flung away she knelt beside Lily, "You aren't dying..not today." She muttered. She placed a hand on her with her shield raised in the other direction, a soft yellow glow forming around her hand. A few seconds later a few of Lily's more serious wounds would be on Alara instead; though she made sure none of them were broken bones..for now. Cancelling the spell she stood and raised her shield above her head with both arms, "Paladin Secret Art: Divine Protection!" She shouted and slammed the shield into the ground. As she did so a massive shield lowered itself mere inches in front of Alara and Lily, cutting off any entry from the other side. [/SIZE]
​

 
​

[SIZE= 14px]Unless Takeo was a mole, ungodly strong, or could fly there was no way to get around it until it dissappeared save for circumnavigating it. Her spell taking most of her magic she hefted Lily carefully up..or tried to. She noticed the earthen..well they kinda looked like boots, formed around her feet. She took out her sword and carefully yet quickly bashed the stone away, a few chunks were still stuck to her but she was free. Finally she picked Lily up and made her way to the guild hall as fast as she could take her, more or less running on full adrenaline. "YAMATO! ANYONE! BANDAGES NOW!" She shouted as she burst through the doors...or rather..burst DOWN the doors(recently repaired after Rosaline broke them). She laid Lily onto the couch and planted her shield beside it. She placed both hands on her now, slowly transferring more of her wounds. She would go until she ran out of magic or her body told her she'd die if she went any further, broken bones, internal injuries, everything she could heal.[/SIZE]
​

 
​

[SIZE= 14px]She just hoped she was making the right choice.[/SIZE]

The table has beem set and the food is ready to be eaten. Still with Yama's growing concern with Rosaline he failed to notice Taylor shooting a paintball at him. He looked at the blotch of paint on his coat and looked to Taylor who assured him it was washable. He merely gave her a kind smile, whether it's intentional or not she just probably toned down the tense atmosphere that coated the guild hall. Yama turned his head back to Rosaline and Master Hibiki who were now at the table with their plates piled high. Actually it seemed that Rosa piled her brothers plat for him. Either way she seemed back to normal for a moment until she hesitated to eat her food. This was never seen by anyone before, Rosa almost never hesitates to eat. Even though she did eat, it wasn't enough to convince Yama that she was alright. He would have to talk to her later.
​

 
​

Over the past few hours Yama has been trying to devise his own plans as to how he can help Hibiki with this Grimoire Heart problem. There was no doubt that they had small bases planted around Baslam Village. By tracking them down he could cut out their supply and lower their men. However without an official say so from Aleria, Yama can't really do much far from helping his guild mates within the hall. He sighed, completely unsure on what to do. Perhaps he can check on Kazuo's condition or try and find Rosaline and figure out what's bothering her. for some reason though... Yama felt like it was bad... Really bad. Perhaps something even he won't want to hear. But if it means lifting a huge weight of her back then it's worth it. Yamato made his way to the infirmary and found Rosaline watching a Lacrima with a face of horror. The lacrima showed the news of Era being completely obliterated. Just how far does that infernal guild plan to take this? Regardless Yamato switched off the Lacrima so no more horrible news can plauge the hall. "Afternoon Rosaline. Honestly I was not expecting Grimoire Heart to plan something of this scale... I... I just want you to know that the guild is here to support you in any way we can. So please be sure to let us know if something is troubling you. We can't help you if we don't know what's wrong." Yamato still couldn't get over how that Dorian was still nowhere to be seen. It was even more worrying that Rosa has been acting like this ever since she came back. If anything Yama really hoped that it wasn't connected. Despite all the clear evidence saying otherwise. He prepared his heart for the worst.

Aleria stood silently outside the infirmary and listened in on what events were transpiring within. It had been a surprise that Rosaline had returned to them after spending all those years wherever they were, she'd have to ask about that some other time, when she felt comfortable. She was however prepared to welcome her back into the arms of Blue Pegasus should she want it. Unfortunately, it seemed that Rosaline's return wouldn't be the greatest surprise since Grimoire Heart had decided to launch an offensive. She listened in on Yamato talking and waited for him to finish before stepping in.


"He is correct." Aleria spoke up as she entered the infirmary, affirming Yamato's words. "Rest assured, we have your back. All you need to do is ask." She spoke with conviction. "Yamato, when you've finished here I'd like to speak with you in my office. We have things that need to be discussed." She told him before moving to leave towards her office where inside would be a map of Balsam and its surrounding areas laid neatly on a large table. @Jackaboi @Zooks

There he was, laying in the comfortable place everyone called a bed with nicely wrapped bandages and some patches over wounds to keep them from bleeding more and was probably laced with some pretty good ointment. As much as his body enjoyed the brest, his mind did not. His mind had yet to rest and kept racing with thoughts, worries, anger... That was until he faintly began to feel someone, or something lightly tugging at his hair but in a good way, as if there were fingers being ran through his hair, or maybe a brush, or a comb. He also picked up the faint sound of someone giggling... Or chuckling... One of the two. But he couldnt figure it out. Either way, he was having a pleasent feeling with the soft tugging of his hair. One of the best he's ever felt in the many years that passed. That feeling soon had stopped and began to feel tingling on his face as if someone had been touching him. Why did it feel so familiar? Not that he was complaining, it felt nice to have gentle contact rather than rough and deadly. The feeling had been returned to his head as he felt the soft tugs once more. His face had relaxed some as he enjoyed the feeling. A voice had gone with it this time and as much as he focused, he knew it was a woman, humming. Very softly and not loud enough to clearly hear it.
​

 
​

But both the hair brushing and the humming paused, and didnt seem to come back to greet him. Thats when he managed to gather some sort of strength and force his eyes to open just a little bit to see a short-haired blonde woman sitting in a chair with the look of horror on her face. As much as he wanted to see where she had been looking, he couldnt. Just as if on time, he seen a man who began talking to her and had a dark colored hair-tone. It sounded familiar to him... Not to mention he had glasses which also made the main even more familiar to him. Kazuo's eyes shifted to the blonde woman and noticed her features which somehow instantly clicked in his mind. That was Rosa! She was the woman he saved in the one Grimoire heart base! He wanted to get up and hug her tightly, hold her and comfort her. Before he could lose to the heavy weight of sleep, he shifted his hand enough to touch hers and he gripped it softly before his eyes forced themselves shut, his grip on her hand loosening back up and layed limp on her hand.
​

 
​

This was going to be a long day...or week...or month...whenever his body chooses him to wake up.

She would go until she ran out of magic or her body told her she'd die if she went any further, broken bones, internal injuries, everything she could heal.[/SIZE]

​

Rosaline heard someone approach the door as the face of horror slowly subsided to one of a much more frightening nature. It seemed more cold, more void, like the life had literally been ripped straight from her. Her parents were dead.. and Dorian to.... how many more? How many more people had to get injured or die? She finally turned to half face Yamato as he began to speak, her eyes looking glossed over though her expression still remained grim. He said they couldn't help if they didn't know, but Blue Pegasus couldn't help her regardless. Dorian had been murdered by a Grimoire Heart mage with a stupid happy smile on his face and Rosaline would never forget feeling her heart break watching that arm punched straight through his chest and out the other side. They couldn't bring Dorian back... They couldn't fix it... so there was no point telling them... right?
​

 
​

How long could she hide that information though? Everyone already wondered where Dorian was even now, eventually they would try and coax an answer out of her.. but was she ready? Would she ever be ready? A part of her worried once she said it, out loud, it was finale. She opened her mouth to answer but she just found the words lodged in her throat. "It's.... It's Dorian he-" The door opened and behind Yamato appeared the Guild Master for Blue Pegasus, Aleria, and once again Rosaline's mouth closed up and she gave a sharp nod. "It's fine. You go Yamato I'll just-" Again she was interrupted but this time for something she didn't really expect to be interrupted by. She felt a pressure in her hand and a soft squeeze so she turned her blue eyes down to spot Kazuo as he rested his hand into her own. The sensation was warm and a comfort when she didn't even think she needed it right then. He seemed to be looking at her then and Rosaline couldn't help but stare back to both his eyes, it was so different seeing him without his eye-patch she was a smidgen awestruck. She watched his eyes close down then from exhaustion and she found a tiny smile working over her face as she peered to him. "I said I'd save you Kazuo... I couldn't save him or my parents, but I saved you... right? That's something.... isn't it?"
​

 
​

Rosaline started to feel a shift in the atmosphere around town. There was a strange power or two, both of which felt VAGUELY familiar though she couldn't figure out exactly what from. And was that shots in the distance? Rosaline's body started to tense up further as that smile lost on her face to be returned to her normal stern expression. That was when a portal opened up right before Rosaline and she half jumped back as her fists clenched, expecting an attack as she growled low in her throat, a spark or two running over her arms. But that when an intricate book fell out of the portal and it closed up again. Rosaline blinked for a moment, still wary, before she slowly bent and grasped the book, pulling it to her face gently as she peered to the title. "Make Magic?" she whispered. "Wasn't this what Cele used to do?" She wandered aloud, before looking over to Yamato and Aleria with a half frown. "Speaking of.... where even IS Cele? I haven't seen her since she arrived..."
​

 
​

Rosaline heard shouts then resounding in the Guild Hall, making her tense up even further when someone mentioned needing bandages. Her face fell as she could only assume it was Grimoire Heart was again, and right on their home turf it seemed. So in a state of unbridled rage, Rosaline slammed Cele's book straight into Yamato's hands, with enough force to send him half crashing into the wall behind him, and shoved past the Guild Master in much the same manner. Her angry steps brought her to the main area where she spotted Alara leaning over some green haired girl, both looking in very bad shape. Not unlike how Kazuo and her had arrived some hours earlier. And as Rosaline got closer, she found the green haired girl's arm hung limply over the edge of the couch with her guild mark on display as her fingers were unclenched....
​

 
​

The mark of Grimoire Heart.
​

 
​

Rosaline was overcome with an unbridled rage that made her whole frame tense up as the death aura that surrounded her only increased. She was beyond pissed, she was absolutely livid. While Alara was busy tending to the girl, Rosaline drew back a fist and slammed her with such force she sent the Paladin flying and crashing into an opposite wall, destroying the wall as she did. And with teeth still gritted, Rosaline reached down to fist into the hair of the green haired woman, hoisting her off the couch and unceremoniously dragging her to the ground before pulling her along the floorboards of the Guild Hall with that same livid expression. Crackles of thunder resounding as her power started to collect and flow around her frame.
​

 
​

Her own Guild Mate was helping the ENEMY! The same force of nature, run by Lucian, who had destroyed thousands in their wake. They deserved no mercy. No healing. They deserved nothing in return. Rosaline uncaringly dragged the girl's body right back outside the Guild Hall doors, witnessing the town in a panic. Obviously a fight had occurred which explained the injuries though Alara must have gotten her head completely smacked in if she thought a Light Guild would attempt to help and heal the foe. After having dragged her for quite some time, Rosaline eventually lifted up the girl high, letting her dangle from her feet even as she kept that hard grip on her hair, dangling her limp frame like some sort of spectacle. "I know what you are! And I refuse to let a single one of your kind escape! If Dorian can't live.... none of you can, EITHER!" She finally screamed, charging her lightning as she started to flood her magic into the girl, electrocuting her with close to her full strength charging through her body. Making her muscles twitch uncontrollably even if (unknown to Rosaline) her lighting might not have the same effect as anyone else.

Yamato took great care to listen to everything Rosaline was saying. However Rosaline couldn't say much as Master Aleria popped into the infirmary and asked Yama to come to her office. "Of course Master. I will be there as soon as possible." He nodded to Aleria and she made her way back doen to her office. Yamato then turned his attention back to Rosaline in the hopes that she would finish what she was saying. But instead she just said to go do what the master asks. At least that was before she was interupted again and this time by Kazuo, placing his hand on Rosa's. Yama certainly didn't expect something like that, especially with the fact that he was unconcious. Rosa went on to say something to him and Yama ended up hearing a little bit of it too. Specifically when she said. "I couldn't save him..." This served to make Yama uneasy. First saying something about Dorian then saying those specific words to Kazuo. Overall Yama dearly hoped those sentances weren't connected. "From what it seems like, even Kazuo is still wishing for your wellbeing. Despite his own current injuries."
​

 
​

There was a sudden change of atmosphere when Yama heard the sound of what sounded like gunshots. Looking at Rosa she looks to have heard the same thing too. Grimoire Heart were attacking places all around Fiore. Did they just start their attack on Balsam too? Aleria did say she has something important to discuss too. Judging from the situation it must be pretty important. Suddenly a portal appeared within the infirmary, Yama grasped the hilt of his sword ready to attack any potential intruders. However instead a book just fell out on the floor and the portal closed. Rosa picked up the book and said it was a book about Make Magic. Yama isntantly remembered that was the same book that "Celestia" carried around with her. If her book was just teleported here then... What's happened to Lily...? Rosa even started to ask questions of where Cele is. The answer to which even he doesn't know. But he does know Celestia's true identity and so does Kazuo. But he was unconcious and Yama was more worried for Lily's safety. "Where's Celestia you say? I... (Ahem) Well... The thing is..."
​

 
​

Yamato didn't even get the chance to explain anything to Rosaline as there was the voice of Alara echoing through the guild hall calling for bandages. With Rosaline being... Rosaline... She wanted to jump straight into the action. She slammed the book in to Yama's chest and ended up hitting the wall behind him from the force, creating a few cracks in the process. However he wasn't about to let that slow him down. Keeping the book tight in his grip he instantly grabbed the nearest first aid kit and made his way to the main hall with no time wasted. On the way there he heard the sound of what could only be the sound of a wall crashing down which only quickened his pace, under the fear that they are under attack. He arrived in the hall just in time to see Rosa dragging a green haired girls outside... Green Hair... The mark of Grimoire Heart on her palm. Was that Lily? If that was the case then Rosa rage induced face could only spell trouble. And the lightning mage doesn't know what she is about to do. He considered chasing after them but he also saw Alara laying atop the rubble of what was previously a wall, looking seriously injured. Not to mention remembering Aleria wantting to see him. So he had to make a quick decision. "Everyone in Blue Pegasus! Help nurse Alara back to health! The guild master has requested my presence in her office. I will be out soon with possible news of her plans to deal with this Grimoire Heart menace!" With that said Yamato left the first aid kit on the table and made his way up to Master Aleria's office, still worried for Lily's safety. "Rosaline... I trust you will do the right thing..." He murmered to himself just before entering the office. The first thing he noticed was a full map of Balsam Village. Somewhat giving the impression that battle plans are about to be made. "Hello Master. I done as you instructed and made my way here. What do you require of me?"

As Takeo landed each successful hit, his grin became more pronounced. Eventually it reached the point where Lily couldn't even stand without her magic anymore. Although despite that, it was surprising enough how Lily was still alive. But she was even making snarky comments and refused to scream in pain. Takeo even felt some of her bones breaking under the power of his blows. But still he grinned and spoke one last sentance before he was going to finish her off. "I have to commend you for surviving this long. But... I still wonder why you chose this path only to betray us... Was it to destroy us from the inside? Or was it because of a grudge? Oh well... Only you know don't you...?" Takeo grabbed his umbrella and pointed the tip at Lily's head, ready to deliver that quick death he promised. "Don't worry. You can take your secrets to the grave~" However... His attention was diverted to the charging Alara who was shouting to let Lily go. Takeo held the umbrella infront of himself to block Alara's charge. The girl ended up knocking Takeo away and pulled up a giant wall to block his path. Although taking a decent amount of damage didn't anger him... Being denied a kill he's earned was his biggest pet peeve. His bloodthirsty smile turned into a frown of anger as he tried to beat down the wall that didn't seem to be moving at all. The wall almost seemed to be as hard as Alara's shield. "Damnit you bitch! I'm going to burn your village to the ground! You hear me!?"
​

 
​

Takeo didn't seem to have much choice at this point. Even if he did navigate around the buildings to get to the other side Alara and Lily would be long gone towards the safety of that pompous guild. However Takeo still had a mission, and that was to terrorize Balsam Village as a whole. So he done what he did best. He killed. He smashed in doors to houses and killed people who lived inside them. Not only because he was doing as he was told but he was also venting for losing a perfectly good kill. That he specifically earned. At this point it doesn't matter where he is. If he see's Lily, Takeo will finish what he started. Eventually coming back to the same place where the wall was, it seems to have dissapeared. Giving him the chance to make his way to the guild hall and survey his chances of taking anyone in there down. Sure this is a suicide mission, even he knew that. But this is an opportunity too. Not many people survive suicide missions, and if he does then that would just further increase his own strength. On the way there however he came across a somewhat familiar looking blonde woman attacking Lily. Having already vented enough his face returned to the same taunting smile he always has and casually walked towards the two women. The moment he was close enough he pulled back hs fist and smacked the blonde woman in the side of the head, launching her into the side of a building. "Sorry Missus. But that's my kill you're messing with~" As Lily fell to the ground he looked at her with his smile again, a little bit kinder looking than usual. "Don't worry~ I'll not make the same mistake again. This time I'll kill anyone who'll get in my way." Takeo looked back to the building. Waiting to see in the blonde woman survived his punch.

At first everything was somewhat normal, but then Noah felt a dark presence nearby. He looks at the doors of the hall then towards Maya. He knew what she was about to say. He made his way out the doors of the hall unsheathing his sword. The Djinn of Wrath and Heroes, I command thee to feed on my Magic Power and empower my will with your great ability. Come forth, Baal! Noah hasn't been very active within the guild of Lamia over six years, but the fact still remains. Noah Cross is a Lamia Scale mage and he will protect Maragaret Town till the dying breath. A blue lightning bolt strikes down onto Noah's body, transforming him into the take over form of Baal.


Noah glares at the Grimoire Heart mages within his sight. Noah had a quick thought about Kelica and being separated from her. He hope what was happening over here wasn't happening there. Kelica, I hope you are okay. @ZooksNoah grips his sword even tighter then moves at lightning speed striking down the Grimoire Heart mages in front of him in a quick and deadly fashion. Noah could feel Maya's overwhelming power but he didn't let that break his focus. Whatever she was doing it was helping the guild. Rain started to fall down but it wasn't thanks to Baal it was Maya. She was putting out the fires on the homes, while fighting else where. 


As Noah continued his efforts on killing the GH mages, he sensed stronger and different magic at works. I'm glad to know there's someone stronger here. He turns his attention towards the woman on top of the roof, then grins. Without saying a word, he lightning travels towards a rooftop right across from her. So did you plan on joining the massacre, or just watch from there? Did you realize the mistake you made, when you decided to mess with Maragaret Town, the home of Lamia Scale?? He states her with a grin, referring to Lamia taking out GH. As he stood there, in his Baal take over, storm clouds were forming in the skies above Margaret Town.

location: Margaret Town Shopping district
​

 
​

Elisa spent the last three hours out in the city, her first full day as a Lamia Scale mage turned sour with all the news of Era and Mercurius being completely obliterated. Her family and ancestors had protected those two locations with their lives as soldiers for generations. The fact that they got blown up so easily was too hard to believe. Speaking of family, she wondered if her parents were okay. She hasn't been in contact with them for a long time. So adding that to the recent calamities was all too worrying... So Elisa decided to go out and spend some time in the shopping district. Or more specifically the sit in cafe to order some cake. The one thing that helps her relax is pretty much anything sweet. But cake helps the best.
​

 
​

Elisa ordered the usual strawberry cheesecake she often gets, paid for it and sat at one of the many tables in the cafe. With a deep sigh she tried to reassure herself that her parents are fine and took a bite of her cheesecake. However everything was quick to turn horribly wrong. While Elisa was eating, multiple explosions rang out around Margaret Town which brought Elisa to stand at attention and survey her surroundings to check if everyone was okay. Then suddenly screams could be heard of citizens running in a blind panic. The noise drew closer and closer until cloaked men and women could be seen attacking and killing the populace. This was no time to stare, Elisa had to get out there and protect her home.
​

 
​

Unfortunately a group of five Grimoire Heart mages suddenly surrounded Elisa, all with a spell ready to attack. She even recognised all five of them to be criminals she locked up while she worked for the guard. They looked like they wanted revenge. "Hey Bitch! We still owe ya one for locking us behind bars! How about we try chopping off a finger for each one of us you captured. He he he..." Elisa wasn't in the slightest threatened by any of these mages. Actually she was more dissapointed. "(sigh) I can't believe either of you... I locked you all up because you were dangerous people. But as soon as you were set free you had your chance to be proper citizens. But instead you become blinded by the thought of revenge and join Grimoire Heart... Perhaps there may not be any salvation for any of you..." 
​

 
​

The dark mages were confused with the Knight's response. But yet the decided to attack simultaneously. Elisa reacted by re equipping into her Moonfire armour set and cutting each one down while dodging the spells that were casted at her. Of course the wounds were non lethal, she wouldn't want to kill anyone, just enough to put them out of action. The five mages were dealt with quickly and effectively. Judging by how easily they were  brought down they were probably just mere grunts, which means they were probably being kept in order by someone more powerful. Elisa would have to watch her back.
​

 
​

Elisa had no choice but to abandon the cake she had ordered so she could assist her guild mates, despite how tempting it was to bring it with her. Regardless she sprinted out the doors, taking down more grunts that were terrorising the city along the way to the Guild Hall. The dark mages were everywhere, this even looked like a full scale attack on Margaret Town itself. No matter how skilled Elisa was with her sword there's no way she could help all of these people alone. If she tries to help one person another may end up dying in the process. Still she will do what she can to help the town.

Kou Akizuki - Lamia Scale Guild Hall
​

​

For the first time in a long period, Kou was truly enraged. During the last three hours, he tried really hard to restrain the sudden urge to go around the continent hunting for Grimoire Heart's outposts to destroy, as the news about Crocus deeply enraged him, but before he could even manage to regain his clarity of mind, the Grimoire Heart bastards actually managed to once more provoke a surge of killing intent with a simple, and suicidal, act: they dared to attack the guild. With that being said, Kou actually didn't leap towards the group of dark mages while waving his spear as a madman, choosing to quietly stay inside the guild hall and protect it while the others took care of the dark mages, a safety measure for the case of everything else being nothing but a distraction.
​

 
​

It didn't take long for his guess to turn out to be real, as he felt the disgusting magic power of a dark mage touching the guild, forming a magic seal under the building and managing to completely break the faint restraint that the mage still maintained. "Agares, serve me." He simply said, provoking a surge of eerie dark colored flames to surge from his body, covering him entirely in the form of a cocoon and spreading through the first floor of the guild hall, covering the pentagram shaped  formation as soon as it started to ignite, while being somehow retained to the floor, hardly damaging any of the furniture. The dark flames acted to completely devour the other flames, originated from the pentagram, as soon as they started to spread, completely absorbing the heat and using it as nourishment in a way that could only be described as sinister before retroceding towards Kou's body,  that gradually emerged from the cocoon made of dark flames.
​

​

"How annoying." He muttered while  stretching his arms, gradually adapting himself to the change in appearance that the Agares form brought, his normally polite self being suppressed by the effect of the Djinn over his mentality. "Forcing me to use such an uncomfortable form... I wonder who's this the death-wishing bastard." It was clear that Kou didn't really like to maintain this form, as even if the previous child-like appearance of Agares was changed after he painstakingly trained to master the Djinn, the magic power expenditure and the now teenager-like appearance still bothered him to a certain extent, specially when coupled with the change in his personality that came with it. "Well, no point in blabbering about it. Time to give an end to this bother of a situation" He said, his body shooting thought the air towards the place where Mitsu was located.

​

Lily Ann had been on the verge of losing consciousness when she'd gotten prepared to die so she didn't even really feel or notice Alara coming to her rescue, she'd barely managed to smile earlier but she was vaguely aware that she wasn't dead, that she'd been carried somewhere and laid down on a couch, it wasn't something she did consciously but when she was placed in the hall she sensed several familiar presences ones she'd never thought she'd feel again. She wanted to move but found she couldn't just then, she had been taking a lot of damage but right as soon as she started to feel better; thanks to some warm light she felt a very familiar rage, she wanted desperately to close her palm, Rosa was not the brightest bulb and if she saw the mark in her palm...apparently it was too late though and Lily Ann started to come to even as she was being dragged across the floor. That's when a strange bitterness started to rise in her, after everything she'd done and everything she kept doing, nearly dying, even if it was Rosaline how come she was being treated so cruelly? What had she done wrong? All she'd wanted was to save everyone else, so how come she'd been through so much, was being dragged around by her hair, by someone she'd cared about, even when she'd abandoned Lily Ann when all she'd wanted was to actually care about people...but she hadn't been normal since the day she was born had she? She'd fought everything to get to this point and it was being repaid in kind with hatred.
​

 
​

That anger and sadness took hold of Lily Ann's very soul, even as Rosaline flooded her with lightning, not that she'd needed the boost, as the blonde had filled Lily Ann with her own lightning; and because Alara had healed her she moved her hands to pull out the frog hair clip and move the living snake from around a bunch of her hair, after all lightning didn't affect her the way it would affect others, because she was lightning in a bottle too. Slowly two colored eyes slid open, glowing a bright green and yellow...for a moment, when they fully opened her once bright yellow she had turned completely Black lacking any whites and her once emerald green eye had gone a muddy gross looking brown that also ate up the whites of her eyes. She was healed up now though, mostly, at least so her more serious injuries weren't affecting her anymore and Lily Ann smiled a sweet loving smile even as her eyes filled with an unrelenting sadness, "It's been a long time Rose~ I'm so happy to see you, I honestly didn't expect to see you, where's your sweet Dorian darling? Oh, wait I know exactly where he is, your parents too right?" She had spoken only a little before Takeo came like a bolt from the blue and smacked Rosaline making the blonde drop Lily Ann to the ground, where she surprisingly landed on two feet and glared darkly at Takeo, this weird...almost terrifying pressure came off her as she kept eyes on Takeo, in the next moment she was approaching him, close enough to his face that their noses touched but she had this oddly sadistic smile on her face, "You were really gonna try and kill me earlier weren't you? Did you think I'd actually really let you? Anyway here's the thing honey, that blonde bitch over there completely fucked up my plan, dragging me outside like she did. Really I was banking on a BP member rescuing me so I could take off my magic dampeners and shake the Guild apart from the inside, so I've got a request of you. Rose is going to make a beeline for you, after all you destroyed her beloved Dorian if you're not all brawn; as I fear you are, you can outsmart her, but you've got a choice here, you can try and kill me again or fight her and keep her off my back. You're piss ass plan to kill civs to draw them out was stupid, why not attack the Guild directly? What better show of strength then to destroy it? I mean...well you were alone but if you don't kill me you'll be on less of a suicide mission. So what shall you do honey?" As Lily Ann spoke her sadistic smile never faded, well that was until she felt something hit her in the back, making her bump heads with Takeo because she'd been so close before hand, a glance over her shoulder revealed a 14-15 year old girl clinging to her back; she must have seen Lily Ann fighting Takeo earlier and thought Lily Ann to be safe.
​

 
​

"Please! Help save my dad!" The girl cried before the green haired woman turned her back to Takeo as the girl kept asking Lily Ann to help her dad the only response Takeo would hear; if he didn't look over her shoulder was Lily Ann cooing to the teen before an agonizing scream rent the air...if he did look he'd see everything Lily Ann had done in those few moments, of course her back was nearly against his chest though so to look away he'd have to look up.
​

 
​

(I'm warning you right here right now don't open the spoiler if you can't handle dark. I am not kidding I've given you warning and I'm serious so if you open it don't you dare get mad at me.)
​

 
​

Spoiler

Lily Ann's head simply tilted to the side as the girl continued to beg for the mixer maker's help while she contemplated the girl's crying face, her eyes...one was blue and the other green, heterochromia...so pretty, Lily Ann cooed sweetly at this girl, hands grasping her face and making the girl look straight into Lily Ann's own dark, lacking whites eyes though this didn't seem to deter the girl, "Please help me save him...please he's dying!"


"It'll be okay sweet heart, you won't have to deal with seeing him that way soon." Lily Ann smiled sweetly while she swept her thumbs over the teen's eyes, wiping the tears away that smile faded in an instant though as she suddenly pressed her nails into the girl's eyes....slowly and painfully, she started to whimper begging Lily Ann to stop of course the green haired woman didn't and in the next few seconds there was an ungodly pop sound, barely audible, though Lily Ann rolled her thumbs in the girl's eye sockets causing a sickening squelch even as the girl screamed bloody murder. Feeling particularly sadistic towards this unfortunate soul black lightning started to spark off her left hand, zapping the inside of the girl's head, nearly frying her brain to a crisp, key word being nearly, finally done playing dark brown mud rolled down Lily Ann's right hand; which was now inside the teen's mouth and started to drown her in the mud, there was a faint gurgling of pure suffering before the girl finally succumbed to the slow death of being choked on mud. Once dead Lily Ann dropped the corpse in her hands.

 
​

Lily Ann hummed happily as she dropped the corpse she had just created peeking at Takeo over her shoulder with a sickeningly sweet smile, "The difference between my psychosis and yours honey...is the fact you enjoy the kill while I get off on the misery and pain that comes before hand. I'm a master at causing that pain too. Oh, better make your choice fast Takeo, Rosaline will be coming for you soon. Oh but here's a tip, if you still wanna kill me...you'll be fighting both Rosaline and I, then you might really die. Show me you've got a brain in that head of yours please, so I can cause some actual damage to Blue Pegasus."

​

Akari hadn't moved much from her spot after Maya had showed up, there weren't many others doing anything either except waiting, or they hadn't been for a time. Outside the hall Akari heard the screams and was on her feet in the next moment, she twists her hands quickly over the lock hanging around her neck, "Soul of Fortune: Amulet Heart!" Ran, the little red egg she kept on her waist vanished inside the egg which then disappeared inside Akari's chest, she smiled happily even as a pink light wrapped around her and changed her.
​

Once taken over she giggled and winked before materializing her pom poms and ran to the guild doors, where she could plainly see inside and outside. She kept up her cheerfulness despite the situation because with this Takeover she could power up her allies. She started to blush a shade of red to match her heart clip but she took a deep breath and went full cheerleader mode, "Everyone! Let's get to work! If we work together we can do anything! That's why Lamia Scale is the best guild!" With each word she said those in her sight, Noah, Kou, Phineas, Ferra, Nikolas and everyone else fighting would feel a boost in their strength and speed, and if they jumped they could jump much higher as well. Of course the mages from Grimoire Heart could definitely see her and a few came at her but she was quick on her feet bouncing around and never breaking her cheers; which ranged from normal cheers to ones she obviously came up with herself. She had to use the pom poms to block a few projectiles but somehow kept each movement in time to her bouncing and hopping around. "Above everything else Lamia Scale works as a team! L-A-M-I-A~ S-C-A-L-E~! Go go go, do your best, Noah~! Ferra! Talon!" It was strange because when she focused and called out names of the people around her they got a bigger boost than the others but that was just the quirk of this particular Takeover of hers, she smiled and laughed as she did her thing, simply dancing around her enemies, partly hoping someone would come and deal with them because she couldn't fight in this form, she could make everyone else stronger though.

Shiro heard the yelling and was immediately on high alert, she kept her mirror open between her and Hibiki even as she leaped from the rafters flipping over Nikolas and Phineas, "Master Hibiki! They're attacking Lamia Scale and Margaret Town! I'm keeping the channel open for now though! Trust me it doesn't take up much magic!" Shiro spun into the fray immediately pulling her twin daggers from her waist, no longer invisible as she often kept them, without hesitating she slit the Achilles tendon of one of her enemies dropping with amazing flexibility extremely low only to bounce to her feet a second later, doing another crazy flip over an enemy that was aiming another magic attack at Phineas and Nikolas, making Shiro's rage nearly explode, "You will not harm them while I'm here!" If one needed proof she was pissed they need only look at her glowing purple eyes, she stabbed the target in front of her in the back, ripping the dagger out unceremoniously before she finally answered Phineas' song with one of her own; simply because it felt comforting and warmed her cold anger, "We're not all screwed, I've got faith in you, have faith in me too! A vacation will be great, let's set a date, maybe it'll be grand, we've got a honey moon to plan." She couldn't help it she snickered slightly before focusing on her fight on the ground again even as a white light wrapped around her and she took several blows from one of the enemies, though she didn't flinch and took each hit before a grin took over and she laughed almost wickedly, "Wrath of Benzaiten! Eat your own hits!" She grinned as she sent a blast of powerful magic outwards from her giving her some space for a moment.
​

 
​

Now that things were clearer she tilted her head sky high and sung loud and clear, "All that flows, echo outwards, wrap tightly around those who fight...Benzaiten's Shield!" Once her voice echoed out on high every member of Lamia Scale; and those fighting around the town and in the hall were draped in a white light, the coolness of the light keeping everyone comfortable as they fought and protecting them from the brunt of magic and physical attacks so they could fight longer. She kept the spell active even as she started to get into another fight, so not only were most of the guild getting a strength and speed boost they were being protected by Shiro as well. If it came down to it she might have to actually disable that spell to use Echo and protect the citizens but for now those fighting were the most important to her, they might not have needed her protective magic but that's what she had been born for, to protect those around her, she knew her place and what she could do, this was nothing; now if she were trying to defend both Lamia Scale and Fairy Heart...that would lead to some magic troubles, but she had worked for her S class rank and she had skill and magic to back up that rank at this point.

Margaret town....Isn't that where Lamia Scale was located? There was a hint of curiosity as to why of all places, Lucien would want to attack Margaret town. Perhaps it was because he wanted to try and cripple Lamia scale as much as possible to prevent them from reinforcing other guilds. Mitsu decided not to question Lucien's decision and made her way towards the portal room, to see the team that had been assembled. Mitsu carefully took the time to reinforce her two swords with magical barriers and enhancements like she always did before going into battle before stepping into the portal with the rest of the team. Mitsu has also taken a compact communication lacrima which she took from a previous assault with her. 


The two attack teams came out on the outskirts of Margaret Town. 


Mitsu looked at the town from the hilltop as she drew one of her swords, signaling the other team to attack Lamia Scale. Once the attack on the guild had begun, Mitsu signaled half of the second team to go and cause as much damage to the town as possible. 


As the battle progressed, Mitsu became more and more irritated and disappointed as she watched the attack teams get cut down by the Lamia Scale guild. Mitsu grabbed her communications lacrima from her pocket. "Lucien. I'm going to need more than just grunts....Send me more. Or at the very least, someone or something that is competent enough to handle a single Lamia Scale mage." 


Finishing, Mitsu turned around to face the remaining half of the secondary attack force. "Come with me. We're going in." With that, Mitsu and the other half of the second group started to make their way towards the town. As the group inched closer to the edge of the town, Mitsu started to cut down any civilians that got in the way of the group. Not caring if they were just running away or injured. She was really irked that the mages that were sent were weak and too expendable, and were not adequate enough to mount an actual legitimate attack against Lamia Scale. Mitsu stopped in her tracks, as she raised her arm up into the air as several pentagrams appeared beneath a small portion of the town that had not been touch, before snapping her fingers, as a fiery explosion ripped through the the small portion of the town, causing the buildings to crumble and collapse. "Go." Mitsu ordered as the remaining mages started to dispersed to reinforce the other attack group, while two were ordered to remain with her as her escorts.

Location: Lamia Scale Guild - Margaret Town.

​

Maya couldn't help but smile at the many faces gathered before her. Everyone had grown and matured so much, and some... had not. As one such girl approached her and claimed that she would be unrecognisable to the Wizard Saint, Maya practically scoffed in response. "Ferra, my dear, do you really think that I would forget you?" The woman continued to stand there retaining a graceful yet fearful aura as she waited for Millie to make her appearance as well. It was then that Maya recognised a familiar magic behind activated, alongside the discreet shuffling across the guild as she turned her head to look upwards and saw Shiro seemingly appeared to be hiding from her, to which Maya automatically picked up on, and thought nothing by it. Perhaps the girl thought that she was angry with her? That was potentially likely, however Maya was definitely not angry with the white haired beauty. The Wizard Saint retained her graceful and composed composure all throughout her waiting and intricate glancing, however before she could even say anything in order to shed light on Shiro, Maya felt the presence of evil magics seeping into Margaret Town, and within a moment notice; many screams and the sounds of deranged magical laughter sunk into the soul of the once peaceful town. "They have come..."
​

 
​

In a moments notice, the woman's persona changed from that of serene and composed to that of anger and terror. The woman exuded the very likeness of fearfrom her body, and as her magical energy seeped out and began to coat the air with its pressure, she made her ways towards the guild doors before standing in front of them. Then, the woman turned to face all of Lamia Scale. The woman spoke with an extremely sincere tone in her voice, and her demeanour and aura carried such terror that it truly emphasised just how furious she was. The density of her aura grey thicker by the second.  "As I'm sure some of you may have noticed, we are under attack. Grimoire Heart have invaded this place and they seek to  bring destruction and death upon us. We must not allow it. Protect the civilians, get them out of here as soon as possible. Dispatch of the invaders as you deem necessary and do it all with the integrity and passion of Lamia Scale. Make them pay." And with that, Maya hurriedly left through the doors and made her way into the town. What she saw, was horrifying. 
​

 
​

Grimoire Heart has begun causing terror in Margaret Town. By the looks of things, they were working in two seperate groups of significant numbers quite evidently with the aims of causing a mess of things. Maya's eyes widened as she looked upon Margaret Town. Grimoire Heart wear tearing through the town like a plague of locusts as they destroyed homes, monuments, trashed gardens, set fires, and even terrorised the civilians. The screams coming from the civilians as the fled split the air and cut the atmosphere as the attackers cut them down in the most brutal of ways. Some civilians had even been rounded up into small groups, and publically executed in the central town so as to give a message to Lamia Scale. Maya clenched her fists as she looked upon the scene in both horror, and anger. As more and more civilians were rounded up and killed, some were even thrown around like rag dolls and became the play things of Grimoire Heart, being tormented and mistreated abusively before being brought to a slow and agonising end. They were even trapping civilians in buildings and green setting those such building aflame. The woman's magic aura seemingly exploded as it encased the entire of Margaret Town within its touch. In fact, the potency of Maya's magical power was so intense that it began to darken the clouds, and its presence could most likely be felt from the other towns too, nearby of course. Upon clasping her hands together, Maya generated a large torrent of water from out of nothing and let it wash down over a few buildings so as to douse the flames by using a weak spell of her terrain effect magic. Maya however didn't help them any further, for she knew that the members of Lamia Scale would  come with aid - she just hoped to god that they were prepared for this scene. Margaret Town was nothing but a graveyard now, with burning buildings and the screams of the dying. It was terrible.
​

 
​

Maya caught the second group of attackers heading towards the Lamia Scale guild itself, approaching from the back end of the town so as to catch them by surprise. Maya channeled her telekinetic magic throughout her entire being as she shot through the sky and then landed smack bang in the middle of the group, sending each and every member flying outwards as the Saints magic radiated from her in a controlled frenzy. After recovering from the sudden blast, the Grimoire Heart mages began to surround Maya as the woman stood there with eyes of daggers, staring into the souls of each and every member. They all knew full well who they were about to go up against, however none of them fled and although absolutely terrified, they put on a brace face before two of them bolted towards the guild hall and the rest towards Maya. "Lucian made a mistake in sending you here, he has sent you all to your deaths." Upon saying that, Maya slammed her palm onto the ground as she sent a shockwave of pure magical energy through the ground, tearing through the rocks and the earth as it was then all sent hurling towards the dark mages in a frenzy. Then, she channelled telekinetic energy in her palms as she thrusted towards the two heading to the Lamia Scale guild hall. The large blasts of telekinetic magic seemingly tore through everything in its path, and upon making contact with the Grimoire Heart mage's, sent them blasting through the walls of the guild hall and out of the other in a swift yet berserker like motion. 
​

 
​

The other 18 mages that had surrounded the woman backed away in terror for a brief moment, before charging towards her once more. As one of the mages went to punch Maya, she ducked her head gracefully before spinning on the spot and kicking at their face sideways, shattering their jaw and sending them flying into a tree nearby. Then, she thrusted her hand once again and sent two more careening away brutally as they blasted through one of the houses in the town. Two Grimoire Heart Mages came charging towards her at both sides and so in response, she seemingly vanished from sight as the two current attackers began to scream in agonising pain before running each other through with their blades, and both falling to the floor dead. Upon dispelling the illusion on the group, Maya 'appeared' behind another mage and placed a hand on his back, blasting him with telekinetic energy as it tore through his body like a gun to flesh. Before the blast headed off into the distance and exploded in the nearby woods, leaving behind a large crater in its wake. Maya then stood there effortlessly as she began to laugh, a slightly crazed look in her eyes as she mockingly smiled at the Grimoire Heart mages. "Truly, Lucian only sent mages of this caliber to attack us? What a deluded fool. That man has no credibility or respect for his superiors. Sending weaklings such as yourselves to attack Lamia Scale was a fools errand, and you are all going to die for it." After saying that, Maya clasped her hands together as a very large magical presence swirled around her. She began to channel it through her hands as she then spread her arms out with an empty look on her face. "Vanish." After a moment of intensifying the magic, the sky began to react to the intensity of her magical aura, the power of a wizard saint. And as she slammed her hands together, a large blast of telekinetic energy seemingly exploded from out of Maya in a dome like shape. It cut through everything in its path, and quite literally tore through the remaining Grimoire Heart mages. Upon being hit, they each shrieked in absolute terror before the noise stopped in a mere moment. After the spell was done, Maya was stood in the centre of a phenomenally large crater and surrounding trees and the like were scattered all over the place, having been picked up in the blast. The Lamia Scale guild hall had only just been hit, and Maya had completely taken off the eastern wall as a result of the spell. Residual magic grew thick in the air and Maya simply chuckled. "Well... that was fun. But now I need to get the dirt and blood out of my clothes. Good heavens." And with that, Maya walked back to the guild hall slowly, her long hair no longer up in a bun, but dropping down as the wind created by her previous attack brushed through it. 
​

 
​

Maya had taken out one team of the enemy, however, the rest was now down to Lamia Scale. And as the primary group of 20 invaders continued to kill and torment civilians, it would be up to Lamia Scale to stop them. 
​

 
​

Before she headed back into the guild hall, entering through the oblitered eastern wall, Maya turned to look behind her and up at a certain location. She had felt a strange magical presence in the air throughout the entire fight, and only now decided to react to it. Knowing full well what it was and who was using it, Maya did nothing but glare towards it with the hellish Morne glare before sending a small bullet of telekinetic energy towards it and shattering the lacrima. Thus cutting out the signal.
​

 
​

"No television for you Lucian, you old, ugly fool."

  Phineas would have probably sulked at the table forever, had he not heard the sudden sounds of destruction and chaos outside. Fires starting, civilians screaming....the half-Neko could hear it all, almost overwhelmingly. His first reaction was to keel over, covering his ears. Despite not looking like a cat, his hearing was abnormally good...painfully good. Then a bunch of dark mages barged in; luckily Maya was strong enough to take them down, but he could still hear those awful sounds. Breathing shakily, Phineas slowly stood up, glancing at his nephews resting peacefully nearby, then at his brother. Nikolas held a fighting stance, though his ears were flattened and twitching nonstop. He turned to Phineas, obvious fear in his eyes. 


  "Shiro, Alexa, Valken, Rudolf. First priority. Gotta keep those creeps away from 'em. Imma kick those assholes' butts." As Nikolas said this, he was transforming into his katana form. Phineas understood what he was getting at and caught his brother in midair. 


  "Guess we're playing Swing Nikolas Around Until You Hit Something now, huh?"


  "Sure. I wonder what the final boss is."


  "Ten jewel says it's Dad." Phineas leapt out of the way of an attack, beginning to swashbuckle against some creepy thug with a cool sword. 


  "PFFT! He ain't a member of Grimoire Heart, ya doop! Ey, adjust your footing. What are ya, a parrot?" Nikolas taunted the guy they were fighting, making a raspberry sound from his sword form. At this point the twin boys woke up and started laughing, thinking this was all some pretty light show or something. "Oh shit! Phineas, sing 'em a lullaby! And more of the parry 'n' thrust! Emphasis on the thrust!"


  "Why don't you sing? I'm nearly out of breath!"


  "'Cuz the last time I sang—who taughtcha how to shoot, your gramma?—" Nik turned back into his human form, kicking the Mage in the face, which left Phineas to kick their opponent in the nuts. "—Dad nearly died of a heart attack, remember?—Man, that guy has a tiny skull—OOPSY DAISY!" The twins just barely dodged a magic attack, but luckily Nikolas turned into an Exceed just in time to fly Phineas into the rafters, where Shiro was. 


  "Fine, I'll sing. Hush a bye babies, your dad can fly, if we don't get out of here, we're all gonna dieeee, when we get attacked, well we're all screwed, I need a vacation, how about you?" 


  "Phineas....that was both beautiful and situationally accurate."

Mitsu 


While the Lamia Scale mages battled the second attack force, Mitsu and her two escorts had managed to climb up to a rooftop of one of the taller buildings, giving her a clear view of the battle that was unfolding in the guild. 


With no response from Lucien about reinforcements, and watching the grunts being cut down by the Lamia Scale mages only served to piss Mitsu off more. She watched as two males, easily knocking out several of her men. Now this wouldn't really be irritating in anyway but, the fact that these two male mages seemed to be fooling around while fighting, almost in a taunting way, only served to strike all of the wrong cords with her. Watching the two, as they knocked out one last grunt before evading a magic attack only made her fume more. The two Grimoire Heart grunts by her side could already sense the tension that was reaching a near breaking point, and both were cautiously distancing themselves from her, to not get caught in the crossfire. Or be used as a meat shield for that matter. 


And sure enough, Mitsu bent her fingers, almost as if she were ready to claw at someone, before stretching out her arm, with her open palm pointing directly at the Lamia Scale Guild Hall. 


A single pentagram appeared at the floor of the guild before it ignited into a fiery explosion. 


After, Mitsu reached for her communications lacrima once more. "All the surviving Grimoire Heart members, spread yourselves out, and stop piling into large groups like idiots, you're only making it easier for them. If they are too strong, then try and trap them. Distract them, or anything that can make them lose their focus or concentration. And don't let them taunt you while they fight. because you are damaging my pride, as well as many others because of your incompetence. So if you're going to fight, then fight properly, instead of making a fool out of yourselves, and me. Or else i'll just come and end each and every one of you myself." 


@Mitchs98 @FemTheHufflepuffRabbit @Arius LaVari @Talon @Spanner @LamiaScaleAttack

Talon was right in the thick of things, covered in fire and, currently, burning two of the attackers while chasing them like a lunatic. They were trying to escape or something, maybe trying to get a better position to defend against Talons onslaught. He didn't care and was giving them no to plan as he quickly dashed up and clothesline do the two and knocking them out. He turned and jumped at a few more attackers who were attacking Phin and Nik. "Hey guys ain't this fun!" Talon exclaimed as he bowled past the two brothers and picked up a guy and threw him at the roof before drop kicking him at the wall. He turned and punched another guy in the face with a flaming fist before throwing that guy at another one. He laughed again as he was put into a headlock from behind. "Silly guy, I'm a pheonix you idiot." Before the man could say anything, Talon transformed into pheonix form and began to fly around the guild Hall with the man screaming in terror and clinging onto the burning bird for dear life. He soon jumped off of Talon because of the heat and smacked into the ground probably breaking something. Talon perched on a beam and let out a victorious screech as the last of the attackers were beat to a pulp by the guild members. 'They were gonna have to try harder than that if they wanted to defeat Lamia Scale.' Talon thought.

At first everything was somewhat normal, but then Noah felt a dark presence nearby. He looks at the doors of the hall then towards Maya. He knew what she was about to say. He made his way out the doors of the hall unsheathing his sword. The Djinn of Wrath and Heroes, I command thee to feed on my Magic Power and empower my will with your great ability. Come forth, Baal! Noah hasn't been very active within the guild of Lamia over six years, but the fact still remains. Noah Cross is a Lamia Scale mage and he will protect Maragaret Town till the dying breath. A blue lightning bolt strikes down onto Noah's body, transforming him into the take over form of Baal.


Noah glares at the Grimoire Heart mages within his sight. Noah had a quick thought about Kelica and being separated from her. He hope what was happening over here wasn't happening there. Kelica, I hope you are okay. @ZooksNoah grips his sword even tighter then moves at lightning speed striking down the Grimoire Heart mages in front of him in a quick and deadly fashion. Noah could feel Maya's overwhelming power but he didn't let that break his focus. Whatever she was doing it was helping the guild. Rain started to fall down but it wasn't thanks to Baal it was Maya. She was putting out the fires on the homes, while fighting else where. 


As Noah continued his efforts on killing the GH mages, he sensed stronger and different magic at works. I'm glad to know there's someone stronger here. He turns his attention towards the woman on top of the roof, then grins. Without saying a word, he lightning travels towards a rooftop right across from her. So did you plan on joining the massacre, or just watch from there? Did you realize the mistake you made, when you decided to mess with Maragaret Town, the home of Lamia Scale?? He states her with a grin, referring to Lamia taking out GH. As he stood there, in his Baal take over, storm clouds were forming in the skies above Margaret Town.

location: Margaret Town Shopping district
​

 
​

Elisa spent the last three hours out in the city, her first full day as a Lamia Scale mage turned sour with all the news of Era and Mercurius being completely obliterated. Her family and ancestors had protected those two locations with their lives as soldiers for generations. The fact that they got blown up so easily was too hard to believe. Speaking of family, she wondered if her parents were okay. She hasn't been in contact with them for a long time. So adding that to the recent calamities was all too worrying... So Elisa decided to go out and spend some time in the shopping district. Or more specifically the sit in cafe to order some cake. The one thing that helps her relax is pretty much anything sweet. But cake helps the best.
​

 
​

Elisa ordered the usual strawberry cheesecake she often gets, paid for it and sat at one of the many tables in the cafe. With a deep sigh she tried to reassure herself that her parents are fine and took a bite of her cheesecake. However everything was quick to turn horribly wrong. While Elisa was eating, multiple explosions rang out around Margaret Town which brought Elisa to stand at attention and survey her surroundings to check if everyone was okay. Then suddenly screams could be heard of citizens running in a blind panic. The noise drew closer and closer until cloaked men and women could be seen attacking and killing the populace. This was no time to stare, Elisa had to get out there and protect her home.
​

 
​

Unfortunately a group of five Grimoire Heart mages suddenly surrounded Elisa, all with a spell ready to attack. She even recognised all five of them to be criminals she locked up while she worked for the guard. They looked like they wanted revenge. "Hey Bitch! We still owe ya one for locking us behind bars! How about we try chopping off a finger for each one of us you captured. He he he..." Elisa wasn't in the slightest threatened by any of these mages. Actually she was more dissapointed. "(sigh) I can't believe either of you... I locked you all up because you were dangerous people. But as soon as you were set free you had your chance to be proper citizens. But instead you become blinded by the thought of revenge and join Grimoire Heart... Perhaps there may not be any salvation for any of you..." 
​

 
​

The dark mages were confused with the Knight's response. But yet the decided to attack simultaneously. Elisa reacted by re equipping into her Moonfire armour set and cutting each one down while dodging the spells that were casted at her. Of course the wounds were non lethal, she wouldn't want to kill anyone, just enough to put them out of action. The five mages were dealt with quickly and effectively. Judging by how easily they were  brought down they were probably just mere grunts, which means they were probably being kept in order by someone more powerful. Elisa would have to watch her back.
​

 
​

Elisa had no choice but to abandon the cake she had ordered so she could assist her guild mates, despite how tempting it was to bring it with her. Regardless she sprinted out the doors, taking down more grunts that were terrorising the city along the way to the Guild Hall. The dark mages were everywhere, this even looked like a full scale attack on Margaret Town itself. No matter how skilled Elisa was with her sword there's no way she could help all of these people alone. If she tries to help one person another may end up dying in the process. Still she will do what she can to help the town.

Kou Akizuki - Lamia Scale Guild Hall
​

View attachment 241759
​

For the first time in a long period, Kou was truly enraged. During the last three hours, he tried really hard to restrain the sudden urge to go around the continent hunting for Grimoire Heart's outposts to destroy, as the news about Crocus deeply enraged him, but before he could even manage to regain his clarity of mind, the Grimoire Heart bastards actually managed to once more provoke a surge of killing intent with a simple, and suicidal, act: they dared to attack the guild. With that being said, Kou actually didn't leap towards the group of dark mages while waving his spear as a madman, choosing to quietly stay inside the guild hall and protect it while the others took care of the dark mages, a safety measure for the case of everything else being nothing but a distraction.
​

 
​

It didn't take long for his guess to turn out to be real, as he felt the disgusting magic power of a dark mage touching the guild, forming a magic seal under the building and managing to completely break the faint restraint that the mage still maintained. "Agares, serve me." He simply said, provoking a surge of eerie dark colored flames to surge from his body, covering him entirely in the form of a cocoon and spreading through the first floor of the guild hall, covering the pentagram shaped  formation as soon as it started to ignite, while being somehow retained to the floor, hardly damaging any of the furniture. The dark flames acted to completely devour the other flames, originated from the pentagram, as soon as they started to spread, completely absorbing the heat and using it as nourishment in a way that could only be described as sinister before retroceding towards Kou's body,  that gradually emerged from the cocoon made of dark flames.
​

​

"How annoying." He muttered while  stretching his arms, gradually adapting himself to the change in appearance that the Agares form brought, his normally polite self being suppressed by the effect of the Djinn over his mentality. "Forcing me to use such an uncomfortable form... I wonder who's this the death-wishing bastard." It was clear that Kou didn't really like to maintain this form, as even if the previous child-like appearance of Agares was changed after he painstakingly trained to master the Djinn, the magic power expenditure and the now teenager-like appearance still bothered him to a certain extent, specially when coupled with the change in his personality that came with it. "Well, no point in blabbering about it. Time to give an end to this bother of a situation" He said, his body shooting thought the air towards the place where Mitsu was located.

Akari hadn't moved much from her spot after Maya had showed up, there weren't many others doing anything either except waiting, or they hadn't been for a time. Outside the hall Akari heard the screams and was on her feet in the next moment, she twists her hands quickly over the lock hanging around her neck, "Soul of Fortune: Amulet Heart!" Ran, the little red egg she kept on her waist vanished inside the egg which then disappeared inside Akari's chest, she smiled happily even as a pink light wrapped around her and changed her.
​

Once taken over she giggled and winked before materializing her pom poms and ran to the guild doors, where she could plainly see inside and outside. She kept up her cheerfulness despite the situation because with this Takeover she could power up her allies. She started to blush a shade of red to match her heart clip but she took a deep breath and went full cheerleader mode, "Everyone! Let's get to work! If we work together we can do anything! That's why Lamia Scale is the best guild!" With each word she said those in her sight, Noah, Kou, Phineas, Ferra, Nikolas and everyone else fighting would feel a boost in their strength and speed, and if they jumped they could jump much higher as well. Of course the mages from Grimoire Heart could definitely see her and a few came at her but she was quick on her feet bouncing around and never breaking her cheers; which ranged from normal cheers to ones she obviously came up with herself. She had to use the pom poms to block a few projectiles but somehow kept each movement in time to her bouncing and hopping around. "Above everything else Lamia Scale works as a team! L-A-M-I-A~ S-C-A-L-E~! Go go go, do your best, Noah~! Ferra! Talon!" It was strange because when she focused and called out names of the people around her they got a bigger boost than the others but that was just the quirk of this particular Takeover of hers, she smiled and laughed as she did her thing, simply dancing around her enemies, partly hoping someone would come and deal with them because she couldn't fight in this form, she could make everyone else stronger though.

Shiro heard the yelling and was immediately on high alert, she kept her mirror open between her and Hibiki even as she leaped from the rafters flipping over Nikolas and Phineas, "Master Hibiki! They're attacking Lamia Scale and Margaret Town! I'm keeping the channel open for now though! Trust me it doesn't take up much magic!" Shiro spun into the fray immediately pulling her twin daggers from her waist, no longer invisible as she often kept them, without hesitating she slit the Achilles tendon of one of her enemies dropping with amazing flexibility extremely low only to bounce to her feet a second later, doing another crazy flip over an enemy that was aiming another magic attack at Phineas and Nikolas, making Shiro's rage nearly explode, "You will not harm them while I'm here!" If one needed proof she was pissed they need only look at her glowing purple eyes, she stabbed the target in front of her in the back, ripping the dagger out unceremoniously before she finally answered Phineas' song with one of her own; simply because it felt comforting and warmed her cold anger, "We're not all screwed, I've got faith in you, have faith in me too! A vacation will be great, let's set a date, maybe it'll be grand, we've got a honey moon to plan." She couldn't help it she snickered slightly before focusing on her fight on the ground again even as a white light wrapped around her and she took several blows from one of the enemies, though she didn't flinch and took each hit before a grin took over and she laughed almost wickedly, "Wrath of Benzaiten! Eat your own hits!" She grinned as she sent a blast of powerful magic outwards from her giving her some space for a moment.
​

 
​

Now that things were clearer she tilted her head sky high and sung loud and clear, "All that flows, echo outwards, wrap tightly around those who fight...Benzaiten's Shield!" Once her voice echoed out on high every member of Lamia Scale; and those fighting around the town and in the hall were draped in a white light, the coolness of the light keeping everyone comfortable as they fought and protecting them from the brunt of magic and physical attacks so they could fight longer. She kept the spell active even as she started to get into another fight, so not only were most of the guild getting a strength and speed boost they were being protected by Shiro as well. If it came down to it she might have to actually disable that spell to use Echo and protect the citizens but for now those fighting were the most important to her, they might not have needed her protective magic but that's what she had been born for, to protect those around her, she knew her place and what she could do, this was nothing; now if she were trying to defend both Lamia Scale and Fairy Heart...that would lead to some magic troubles, but she had worked for her S class rank and she had skill and magic to back up that rank at this point.

(Basically the moves Shiro just pulled.)

Ferra, Alexa, and Shiro
​

Ferra smiled happily at Maya as she mentioned never forgetting her. "Good! 'Cause I'm awesome." She replied cheerfully before laughing a little. She really was genuinely happy that Maya actually remembered her, it meant a lot to her that she did even after these six years. She guessed she would though, considering she did live with her most of her life. She gently hugged her before going right back to eating, up until of course she mentioned 'they had come'. She tilted her head in confusion at first..until she started hearing the chaos outside as well as noticing the shift in Maya's demeanor. She continued eating, though did so closer to her daughters due to the impending attack on the guild hall.
​

 
​

She listened intently to Maya as she spoke. She nodded swiftly once she finished speaking and looked to Phineas and Nikolas...who sort of were already outside doing their own thing. She sighed gently, then looked for Talon...outside too. She bit her lip gently, Alexa and Shiro were stirring awake and she needed someone to watch them even if they didn't. Valken and Rudolf too. Damn why did they have to all run off?! She sighed heavily, taking an angry gnaw of her meat bun. Soon enough though, all thanks to Maya and her destructive fighting, she had a plan. She stared blankly as the mages sailed through the hall, brought her hand up, and simply shot them out of the air with a blast of purple magic each. "Nice one Maya.." She muttered, though was smiling since it really did help her.
​

 
​

Wreckage of wall eaten later and she had a protective cage over her kids around the table they sat at, needless to say Alexa and Shiro were awake now and panicking. "It'll be okay guys, I promise. We're gonna kick their asses and it'll be juust fine~" She told them reassuringly. She looked to Nikolas and Phineas, and finally Shiro. "Yeah, don't worry! We're definitely not screwed!" She cheered. "Remember, me and Shiro are badasses. We'll be just fine!" She added, making a little 'woop!' before running out of the hall.
​

 
​

What she saw made her stomach turn and almost made her lose her food...as well as her faith in her words, if only a little. But with everyone here she was sure it would be alright still. Maya was trusting them to do this, so they had to. She didn't want them to let her down and have to have her help more, so she'd do her best to contribute more than her fair share.  It was an awful sight, houses burned, people dead, landmarks utterly destroyed. Not to mention the big ass crater likely caused by Maya herself. Okay that part was kinda cool all things considered, but the rest of it not so much. First things first was getting the civilians to safety and taking down Grimoire came secondary, in her opinion anyway.
​

 
​

As an S-Class Ferra was determined to do her absolute best to fulfill both tasks. She noticed others going off to fight Mitsu, and while they did this she simply started evacuating everyone to the guild hall. She knew it was the safest there. "Everyone into the guild! If you need help tell me!" She shouted, and of course everyone that heard that could started running for the hall. She looked up when she saw Akari cheering for them and gave the girl a bright and cheerful smile. "Yea! Thanks Akari~!" She cheered and waved back at her. She quickly escorted all of the civilians in the area that she could into the guild hall before going back into the fray. Empowered by Akari's magic and soon by Shiro's shield it was Ferra's turn to fight.
​

 
​

There were quite a few mages left standing including Mitsu as well as several injured people. Ferra decided to once more tend to the injured and get them to safety before starting her hunt for any remaining mages in the area. The site of the injured angered her more than the site of her home town burning to the ground and being destroyed. The city could be rebuilt, it was the people that mattered. She did her best, she was no medic but she did what she could and brought them to the guild. Halfway through one of the Grimoire Heart mages decided it was best to run at her while she was tending to someone's wounds. Clearly a physical based idiot mage trying to get to her while presuming she was vulnerable.
​

 
​

She smirked and casually moved a bloodied hand up, made a sign for a pistol, and fired a single shot directly through the chest. "Idiots.." She muttered. Needless to say he fell mid run, a medium sized hole where his heart used to be located. She picked up the unconscious woman that was in her care and walked back to the guild. Now the hunt for the mages would begin, Ferra running and jumping through the town. She'd pick off as many as she could while the rest fought Mitsu and helped with the city. She was sure there couldn't be too many left...but then again she wasn't sure how many there were in the first place.
​

 
​

Eventually through her moving she found, and was lucky enough, that her house was still standing. She smiled a little at that fact and stood looking around at the destruction, her frown instantly turning into an angry scowl as she looked at the destruction from a higher viewpoint.
​

 
​

She sighed gently and shook her head before continuing on. She knew one thing for certain, Grimoire Heart had to die.

​

Ayano watched as Kelica woke up, seemingly confused as to where she was. That is to be expected from someone who's been unconious for a while, however she was quick to change to sudden realisation and start ranting about the destruction and chaos in Crocus that Noah had already recently explained. But she soon calmed down. Ayano was glad to see that Kelica was alright but she seemed distressed, maybe she could talk with her later. Not just for Kelica's sake but Ayano's too. Kelica did end up noticing Ayano and offered her a smile and a wave. She siply gave Kelica a small smile too. Then Kelica went away to see the rest of her guild mates. Aka the ones she's known for a long time. Ayano just simply took a seat back at the same table as before, relieved that Kelica is fine.
​

 
​

3 hours have now passed and Timothy, Wendy, Darius and Dante have returned with two Grimoire Heart mages captured. One looked a whole lot bigger than the other. However she recognised neither of them. Ayano thought about finally going to talk to Kelica and get to know her before she ever leaves again. However before she could do any of that a blue pillar of light appeared and Hibiki emerged from it. The sight of the man always caused her to fall silent, always being brought back to the time she worked for Grimoire Heart. Where she tortured both him and Sora. She has thought about going up to him and profusely apologising for good but the way he looks at her... Ayano can always see his hatred from a mile away. A simple apology won't change a thing. Nothing will ever change... "Nothing will ever change~" "... No... I will keep faith... What is a Fairy Tail member without hope?" "Hope is an illusion Ayano..." "An illusion we strive to make a reality." "Hmpf... Suit yourself." "Damn that Nora..." Ayano continued sitting on her chair passing the time and waiting for a plan to be made until a girl walked up to her. It was the same girl who ended up running through the portal completely naked. She adressed herself as Lunaria and asked for Ayano's name, the vampire instantly grew reluctant. This girl was from Fairy Heart... Who knows how much Hibiki told them about the ex Grimoire Heart member. How would Lunaria react if Ayano told her name? No... there's no point in secrets. They always find out in the end anyway. "My name is Ayano Soru... You must think I'm different because of my pale skin. Well just so you know I'm a vampire. There's no point treating me like a kid either. I assure you I am far more older than you could ever be." Ayano stated bluntly. She didn't want to try getting close to someone who could possibly just end up attacking her because of her name.
​

 
​

Meanwhile Darius was really pumped up for the next fight to happen. Tarasuba was hardly a challenge for him and Sora! Speaking of which he wondered where she was? He has to thank her for the help, Not to mention ask her about her dragon slayer magic. If it wasn't obvious enough Darius had developed quite an "interest" in her. Maybe interest isn't the right word... He couldn't exactly describe it... Oh well, maybe he'll run into her later. Ricky for once was away from Darius to explore on his own. There was so many new people to see at this guild. So many new smells too. Ricky's adventurous side was kicking in however he then looked at a blonde woman who's aura seemed oddly... Superior. The woman lokked to be talking with Master Hibiki and Dante. Ricky ran up and jumped on top of Hibiki's shoulder and smiled at the woman. Who was still emiting a weird aura. The aura felt warm, she felt like an ally of sorts. Maybe even some form of leader. "Oi Rick! Where you at buddy!?" Darius was looking for his feline friend and found him sitting on Hibiki's shoulder and looked weirdly fixated on a blonde woman. "What the hell is going on with you this time cat..." Darius strolled over to Hibiki, Dante, the blonde woman and... A white haired man? While holding with his Katana over his shoulder. "Hey Master! You're back! Just as Dante said we ended up finding those two Grimoire Heart members. Don't worry, they were a piece of cake." Even though Sora did most of the work and Darius only got to show off one attack... "Anyway who's the girl? Ricky seems awfully attracted to her for some reason."

Lunaria Safira
​

Lunaria nodded slightly, tilting her head curiously at Ayano's response. She had no idea whatsoever what a vampire was a highly doubted that she was older than her at all. She giggled a little and patted her on the head, "Nice to meet you Ayano." She replied. "I have no idea what a vampire is but you're too cute and small to be older than me." She said. "Are you really strong? I bet you are. You're in Fairy Tail after all." She told her, still staring at her in slight awe despite seemingly being a little kid. She intended on treating her like a little kid anyways. To her, until she got some kinda explanation, she was just a pale skinned little girl that was just adorable. She continued smiling at her her eyes studying her curiously. "What's a vampire anyways?" She asked, wondering what explanation she had. It was probably just code for really strong or something.

​

Honestly... Ayano was certainly surprised that she didn't even hear a mere gasp or notice any look of resentment. Instead she was met with a nod and a greeting. However that moment of surprise fell apart when Lunaria said she has no clue what a vampire is. Then went on too say she was too cute and small to be any older than her. Too... Cute? Lunaria did end up hitting a nerve with that comment but Ayano decided to let it slide. Especially with the fact that she was Fairy Heart. She didn't want to leave a worse impression than she already has left on Hibiki. The girl proceeded to ask what a vampire actually was. Her tone was completely oblivious to the ferocious nature of vampirism. Lunaria herself seemed so innocent too, she was almost hesitant to tell her. But she asked the question, so Ayano will answer. "Vampirism... Is a curse... Vampires are cursed to be forever subjected to undeath, forced to feast on the blood of human beings in order to survive. Overall we are often known as monsters and enemies of mankind. However there are very few vampires who learn to control their hunger and even co-exist with humans. Such as me and Sera. The reason I appear so young... Is because I was infected and killed at a very young age. I was infected at the age of 12... Over 150 years ago... It's because of this curse that I was able to retain a child's body." Ayano let out a long sigh after finally finishing her explanation. On the contrary Ayano was also curious on what Lunaria is. "By the way... What exactly are you? It's no secret that you ended up teleporting as a pile of slime... And a not so well clothed one at that..."

  Phineas couldn't help but feel his lips twitch upwards when Shiro sung back, resisting the urge to let his emotions take over as Nikolas leapt from the rafters, knocking down some unsuspecting member of Grimoire Heart by using her head as a landing pad. He looked around wildly, noticing that his kids were missing before seeing that Ferra had created a makeshift shelter for them. Nikolas winked at Shiro and Alexa, knowing they could see him, if not only just a little, before leaping back and up to where Phineas was. He turned into his scythe form in midair; Phineas grabbed his brother, using the blade of the crescent-shaped weapon to leap down, then attack carefully. When needed, Nikolas would switch to a dagger, katana, or a gun; let's face it, their teamwork was something they'd worked on, and their teamwork was one of the reasons why they'd made it as far as A-Class. 


  "Looks like you've got the old spirit!" Nikolas crowed, transforming into his female form and punching someone in the face; of course, s/he wound up getting punched back, right in the stomach. Nik clutched his/her stomach, wincing a bit. The mage who'd caught him off guard took this as a chance to strike, using some sort of a spell that pinned Nikolas against the wall. He then raised a knife at the Neko's face, sending it straight towards his threat....


  Da-da-da-DUM. 


  The sound of the familiar piano playing interrupted the attacker, who scoffed. "Not gonna work, kid."


  Da-da-da....DUM. One could see how pissed Phineas was as he practically slammed his hands on the keyboard. Beethoven's Fifth. A good song to play when you're pissed....and when you need a bunch of dangerous weapons shaped like quarter notes, full notes, etc. Within a couple measures, Phineas, while playing the song, had manipulated the musical notes to pin the attacker against the wall. He continued absentmindedly playing the song, but he looked boredly at the dark mage, then at Nikolas. 


  "You need a better defense."


  "Oh yeah? Well, your offense sucks balls."


  "Whatever. I'll be the shield, you be the sword, Rudolf can be the knight." 


Phineas stopped playing; the notes disappeared for a second. Nikolas chuckled. 


  "Nice one, Phine—"


  WHAM. 


  A wizard had taken advantage of Phineas letting his guard down, pushing him to the ground. Nikolas turned pale, about to beat the living daylights out of the guy who'd done that, only for the loud noises ringing in his ear to get louder. Unbearably louder. Eyes watering in pain, Nikolas looked down. That noise was Phineas screaming in pain as he was repeatedly hit with the same spell. Gritting his teeth, the Neko clenched his fists, about to transform again, only for the same shrill scream to pierce his ears and for him to cover his ears instead. There was a toll to his cat genes, and being able to hear well was one of them. Nikolas heard another scream; wincing, he forced himself to turn into a katana, madly stabbing the offender in the hand. 


  "SON—OF—A—BITCH—OFF—MY—BROTHER—YOU—WEIRDO—FUCK—YOU—AND—YOUR—SHIT—DIE—DIE—DIE—DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!"

Elisa charged through the streets helping what ever civilians she can as she came across them. It's certainly very bold of Grimoire Heart to attack out of the blue like this... As Elisa got closer to the Guild Hall she could hear someone chanting about something, almost like a cheerleader supporting their team. Elisa tracked down the source of the voice and saw the pink haired girl from earlier cheering on Lamia Scale while blocking projectiles with her pom poms. What was even weirder was that just by looking at the girl, Elisa felt stronger. She wasn't sure if it was just motivation or some kind of magic... Or maybe even both. However regardless the girl seemed like she could use the support.
​

 
​

Elisa charged towards the dark mages and started cutting them down to eliminate them from the battle. Some of the other mages caught window her actions and focused their magic on the immediate threat. A barrage of spells projected towards Elisa, however she was able to easily avoid them by doing one large jump coupled with a backflip. Actually Elisa didn't remember jumping this high before. Perhaps the girl's cheering was actually her way of boosting an ally's capabilities. Thanks to that Elisa managed to jump far enough to land behind the mages and eliminated them in one fell swoop.
​

 
​

All of the dark mages in the area were now injured and unable to fight and the pink haired girl seemed to be safe for the moment. Elisa however knew that the battle was still long from over. It probably wouldn't be long before reinforcements arrived. So Elisa took a fighting stance next to the girl ready for anything to happen. [COLOR= rgb(255, 215, 0)]"I saw those mages were giving you a little trouble, so I thought I'd lend a hand. My name is Elisa Moonfire by the way. I just joined the Guild yesterday, it's a pleasure to meet you."[/COLOR] Elisa smiled a little as she talked to the girl. She looked really cute doing that cheerleader too. Seriously who would want to harm such an innocent thing...
​

 
​

"Also was that you that gave me a boost to my strength. If it is then I must say I'm fairly impressed!" Elisa was somewhat intrigued by the girl. Was that the only magic she knew or was there more? It wasn't long before a white sheet of magic suddenly wrapped itself around Elisa too. It didn't seem to do any harm so maybe it was a protective ward. Whether this was still the girl's doing she didn't know. But it will certainly help.

@Arius LaVari and other LS members fighting for Margaret Town 
​

 

[Kyuubey]

Sora Marvell - Magnolia/Margaret Town

Timeless. Limitless. Endless horizons. Sora's eyes remained fixated on the sun nestling its way behind the mountains that rose like proud kings outside of Magnolia. Her lithe frame leaned lightly against the very foundation she had grown up around; the Fairy Tail guild hall. And as it kept her steady, motivated, and grounded in the past, it had always managed to do so in the present. Delicate ribbons of blue hair hung carelessly over the edge of the rooftop, dangling and swaying with the light breeze. " It never ends does it, Nami? " The question weighed itself heavily in the air, coating the very atmosphere as that serene gaze soon slid to the side to gaze upon the exceed. The white cats face peered up at her, eyes holding their own thoughtful emotion as they remained steady on Sora's face. No answer was needed though, the two sharing the same thoughts on the matter at hand left the discussion as a silent one merely acknowledged by flickering glances.


" The new dragon slayer is pretty outstanding, I'm glad I got to meet him and fight with him. I have a feeling he and I will be teaming up again real soon. " A heavy exhale of a long drawn inward breath released itself, chest rising as her entire body followed suit. At the tip top she stood, hair fluttering about as those sky blue eyes lingered on the unseen. Though the ongoing horror wasn't visible, it was sensed; felt. Every hair on her body stood frigid, a brisk chill forcing her to shake as her hands rose to rub at her arms in an attempt to comfort herself. Each finger curled into pale skin, nails lightly digging in but not enough to puncture anywhere. This small jab of pain snapped her out of the trance she'd found herself caught in, hues dropping down to fall upon the entrance of the guild hall.  " Seems like the interrogating is over. Let's join the others now. " Sora stepped off the ledge, a small bubble of laughter being heard as she free fell towards the ground only to land with effortless mastery. Nami floated down right behind her, white wings spanning out to keep her airborne as the two entered the guildhall side by side. Sora looked around at the occupants as her throat tightened in a subconscious response when Shiro's words to Hibiki reached her ears. " On second thought, let's get outta here. " An idle hand had risen to her neck, fingers rubbing about in an attempt to massage the gripping feeling out of existence.


It just felt all too overwhelming, the people, the magic, even the air. As much as she would usually run in and join the chatter this just wasn't one of those times. Margaret town was under attack.. There wasn't even hesitation as her body pivoted to run right out the way she came, feet on the ground for mere seconds before the rushing ecstatic feeling of flying took over. Nami however had remained in the guildhall for a few minutes, eyes intent on staring down the other feline in the room. " No magic? " The words tumbled past her lips as they curved into a sinister kitty smile. Those bright white wings sped her along to snatch up Ricky before bolting out after Sora with him in her clutches. " Real cats can fly. " She purred rather cutely yet tauntingly, wings outstretched proudly. The two were headed for Lamia Scale's headquarters but it would take a while even with accelerated flight to reach their destination. Lysander's guild... I must do something... faster Sora, you need to move faster. The sky is my territory, my escape. " Please help me help them... " It was a mere whisper but almost as if in a clear response to her, a light enveloped her entire body and she began to move at speeds she had never achieved before. The wind tore through her hair and left small cuts along her exposed skin, debris feeling like bullets as they hit her. It felt like the air was tugging her and pulling her along, like it was alive and had a conscience. It was surreal.


A few harbored breaths were forced out as they arrived at their destination, figure standing in the sky as if it were walking along an open road above Margaret town. Sora peered down and monitored the fights, refraining from getting involved until she had a better understanding of whom was whom. Attacking a friend over a foe wouldn't bode well for her after all. There had not been time to think, just react, as the air morphed inwards on itself from the massive explosion of magic that had just released itself. Sora tackled Nami out of the sky as they both went plummeting down towards the Lamia Scale guildhall. Their landing was as gentle as it could possibly be and it was then that the sky slayer noticed the passenger Nami had decided to bring along. " Ricky? " She exclaimed with visible surprise, face naturally contorting into even more stupefaction as she noticed the long haired woman she referred to as a mother walking into the guild hall. " Maya? "

Thankfully the chaos that had started along the outskirts of Magnolia did not make its way into the city center of Magnolia. Given the extent of what was happening and its close proximity to the city, it would have been absolutely chaotic if the fighting had spilled into the town. Unsurprisingly, Abel was not the only mage to have gone to the city center, several other mages from smaller guilds alike had gathered here, their priority was to ensure the safety of the towns people, just like it was for Abel, even more so given the news of what had happened in Crocus. By now, word had begun to spread among the towns people and other mages; the magnitude of such an attack unable to be hidden from public ears. What was to say that something like that would not also happen in Magnolia, especially since Crocus housed the former Royal family.. security and anti-terrorist threats would have been much higher in that town.. yet such a calamitous attack was able to succeed relatively easily. 
​

 
​

During the three hours, the town center had been evacuated quite successfully, the obvious target for an attack being the Cathedral so any normal citizen was now far away from the potential danger.. a danger that thankfully never came to fruition. Sora, Timothy and the two mages of Fairy Heart; Dante and Darius had apparently restrained the threat. Though despite this good news, Abel and several of the other mages had stayed a little longer, keeping guard of the town... after all what was to say that the attack on the outskirts was not a mere decoy, which in the end it was not. Satisfied, Abel parted ways with the other mages and made his way back to Fairy Tail, a mixture of feelings circling in his heart as he did so. He was glad that the town had avoided danger, but to end up doing nothing in the end to punish the attackers left a bit of a gaping hole. It wasn't that he wanted to be a hero of justice or anything, it was just the feeling of 'not doing enough' that griped at him. He sighed, shaking his head softly as he pushed such thoughts out of his head. The main threat to Magnolia had been quelled for now. Turning a corner, he was soon stopped by a young mother and her daughter, the pair of them having noticed Abel as they returned to their store.
​

 
​

[SIZE= 14px]"That marking... are you a member of Fairy Tail" remarked the lady, a soft smile etched across her face, "P..please wait here" she insisted, quickly turning and leaving her daughter behind as she entered her store. Confused, Abel remained as in instructed, glancing down at the young girl before him, her head tilted backwards as she stared upwards at the substantially taller man before him, however it helped little as the Sun in the sky above made it hard to see his features as the light caused her to squint her eyes. "So tall.." she muttered to herself, her right hand now pressed across the top of her brows as she attempted to block out the sun. Seeing her struggle, Abel squatted down to make it easier for her, though he  was still taller even at this position. Given the close proximity he now found himself in, he must have intimidated the child, as she quickly turned and ran inside the store, following her mother and thus leaving Abel to ponder what it was that he had done to actually scare her.  "P.. please take this.. as thanks.." insisted the woman, both hands outstretched and holding a cake. ".. My husband.. he said he witnessed members of your guild fighting near the outskirts.. they successfully defeated those attackers.. " she stated, "It.. its the least we can do.. please..I insist" her smile spread wider now as she forced the cake into Abel's hands before bowing and returning into her store. Abel felt a little guilty at accepting the cake, seeing as how he wasn't actually involved.. though it did little to stop him from dipping his finger into the cake and taking a small taste for himself before he continued back towards the guild. [/SIZE]

At first everything was somewhat normal, but then Noah felt a dark presence nearby. He looks at the doors of the hall then towards Maya. He knew what she was about to say. He made his way out the doors of the hall unsheathing his sword. The Djinn of Wrath and Heroes, I command thee to feed on my Magic Power and empower my will with your great ability. Come forth, Baal! Noah hasn't been very active within the guild of Lamia over six years, but the fact still remains. Noah Cross is a Lamia Scale mage and he will protect Maragaret Town till the dying breath. A blue lightning bolt strikes down onto Noah's body, transforming him into the take over form of Baal.


Noah glares at the Grimoire Heart mages within his sight. Noah had a quick thought about Kelica and being separated from her. He hope what was happening over here wasn't happening there. Kelica, I hope you are okay. @ZooksNoah grips his sword even tighter then moves at lightning speed striking down the Grimoire Heart mages in front of him in a quick and deadly fashion. Noah could feel Maya's overwhelming power but he didn't let that break his focus. Whatever she was doing it was helping the guild. Rain started to fall down but it wasn't thanks to Baal it was Maya. She was putting out the fires on the homes, while fighting else where. 


As Noah continued his efforts on killing the GH mages, he sensed stronger and different magic at works. I'm glad to know there's someone stronger here. He turns his attention towards the woman on top of the roof, then grins. Without saying a word, he lightning travels towards a rooftop right across from her. So did you plan on joining the massacre, or just watch from there? Did you realize the mistake you made, when you decided to mess with Maragaret Town, the home of Lamia Scale?? He states her with a grin, referring to Lamia taking out GH. As he stood there, in his Baal take over, storm clouds were forming in the skies above Margaret Town.

Kou Akizuki - Lamia Scale Guild Hall
​

View attachment 241759
​

For the first time in a long period, Kou was truly enraged. During the last three hours, he tried really hard to restrain the sudden urge to go around the continent hunting for Grimoire Heart's outposts to destroy, as the news about Crocus deeply enraged him, but before he could even manage to regain his clarity of mind, the Grimoire Heart bastards actually managed to once more provoke a surge of killing intent with a simple, and suicidal, act: they dared to attack the guild. With that being said, Kou actually didn't leap towards the group of dark mages while waving his spear as a madman, choosing to quietly stay inside the guild hall and protect it while the others took care of the dark mages, a safety measure for the case of everything else being nothing but a distraction.
​

 
​

It didn't take long for his guess to turn out to be real, as he felt the disgusting magic power of a dark mage touching the guild, forming a magic seal under the building and managing to completely break the faint restraint that the mage still maintained. "Agares, serve me." He simply said, provoking a surge of eerie dark colored flames to surge from his body, covering him entirely in the form of a cocoon and spreading through the first floor of the guild hall, covering the pentagram shaped  formation as soon as it started to ignite, while being somehow retained to the floor, hardly damaging any of the furniture. The dark flames acted to completely devour the other flames, originated from the pentagram, as soon as they started to spread, completely absorbing the heat and using it as nourishment in a way that could only be described as sinister before retroceding towards Kou's body,  that gradually emerged from the cocoon made of dark flames.
​

"How annoying." He muttered while  stretching his arms, gradually adapting himself to the change in appearance that the Agares form brought, his normally polite self being suppressed by the effect of the Djinn over his mentality. "Forcing me to use such an uncomfortable form... I wonder who's this the death-wishing bastard." It was clear that Kou didn't really like to maintain this form, as even if the previous child-like appearance of Agares was changed after he painstakingly trained to master the Djinn, the magic power expenditure and the now teenager-like appearance still bothered him to a certain extent, specially when coupled with the change in his personality that came with it. "Well, no point in blabbering about it. Time to give an end to this bother of a situation" He said, his body shooting thought the air towards the place where Mitsu was located.

Mitsu 
​

Mitsu looked across as Noah appeared before her from another rooftop. And in the distance, Mitsu could see yet another mage speeding towards her direction. Mitsu gripped her sword tightly as Noah began to speak to her. When he finished, Mitsu returned her gaze back at Noah. "Why would I waste my energy on the ground when I can simply command from afar? And not have to waste my time commanding incompetent soldiers? And besides, I'd prefer if you kindly left, and let me continue my work here." Mitsu replied, with an expressionless face. She was watching Noah like a hawk, ready to strike back at any movement that he made that would appear hostile. She also kept a close eye on Kou, the other L.S. mage who was speeding towards the two's location, ready to defend herself if he were to come and strike first. Maybe she should try and see if she would be able to irritate this Lamia Scale mage. "You should really follow someone's request when they are asking kindly. I hope your parents taught you proper manners."
