Katherine knew that these mages wouldnt be able to focus down on Miles so she stood there and hadnt mind watching her husband and his brother go beat up mages, but the fact that she began to feel Miles going into that darken state from back then had worried her. That was a state she pulled him from, showing him that his powers werent that of destruction but that they were powers that can protect and save others. Her eyes watched as his hand went right into a chest which had been a GH mage. Despite having the calm face, her eyes began to widen and break that mask of hers. Not to mention Tyson was going on his own rampage with fighting a mage but severely breaking bones and most likely killing him! Why did her heart feel like it was going to be ripped from her own chest? They were both acting like monsters... like if they had not been light mages and that they had been dark. Watching Miles's hand pull from the mage's chest, he then turned towards the three that remained and noticed Miles going in for the attack. With quick movements, she threw her hand out and hit Miles with a blast of Nexus, sending him off the mages before he could do some major damage "Masaki, take care of those mages...they're all yours..." @LeSoraAmari with that she walked towards the knocked down Miles and decided to throw a powerful shot of Nexus towards Tyson to throw him off as well. She didnt care if he was doing anything or not. As a Light S class mage it was her duty to make sure that her friends and her family didnt go and start killing mages on her watch! Not to mention Tyson had to be put in his place sometimes.
​

 
​

"You do realise what you have done, dont you, Miles...?" asked Kathy, crouching down by him and looking at his face with a serious expression, one that she'd use only when she was angry inside "You brutally killed a Grimoire Heart mage.  Between you and your brother you brutally killed two of them. Do you know what kind of guild we are...?" she was trying to keep her voice soft but it was difficult with her growing anger but it slowly deminished so she could keep scolding him "We're a light guild, Miles. We're not brutal killers. We incapacitate them, or even give them quick deaths. Despite their intentions and their attack to our home, it does not give us the right to  kill them in such brutal ways. That makes us no different than them..." she took her hand and gripped his shirt, lifting him up and locking her eyes with his while a nexus shield formed itself over them just in case the three mages decided to attack the two vulnerable Sabertooth members "You were falling into the darkness I pulled you out of. There is no way that I will let that happen again. Now get yourself together, Miles..." as much as she hated to be the way she was in public, it was the only way to snap Miles back to Reality. Not to mention she didn't want her daughter to ever think that her father could become a monster in any shape or form. She wanted Bella to see that he was the best father she could have in her entire life. As much as Kathy wanted to mention her: She didnt. Just to keep her safe and away from ears and eyes of those who had bad intentions.
​

Tyson Redd


Tyson was seeing red, literally, his aura was so out of control it was blinding him. But luckily he was filled with rage that he didn't need to see in order to brutalize  the dark mages. After him, and Miles killed a few Grimoire mages, Tyson didn't wait to attack, he grabbed a fleeing Grimoire Heart mage, and tossed him behind him as Katherine sent her nexus blast at him. Luckily for Tyson he tossed the GH mage directly at the blast, so he took the blunt of the damage, softening the blow on Tyson, who was sent skidding on his back, he was slightly dazed, and confused by the attack, but luckily not to hurt. After he regained his senses he sat up, and listened in on the conversation between Kathy, and Miles. He sighed, and growled, annoyed that she had a point. So he stood up, dusted himself off, and went to assist Masaki."Need any assistance?" Tyson asked as he made his way next to Masaki, now he seemed much calmer.

​

A smile formed on the boys face as his offer of assistance was accepted and the trio consisting of The Redd Brothers and Kathy welcomed his help with open arms. Whether they thought it a good idea wasn't spoken of, and judging from their persona's it didn't seem to be of any issue. To Masaki at least. Taking a deep breath, Masaki stood there cautiously as his gaze befell the attacking entourage of Grimoire Heart mages. They were escorting someone whom of which seemed of much higher status than the usual grunts that were often sent to do the dark guilds dirty work. However, Masaki couldn't recall a name nor did he recognise the dark mages face. As of currently she seemed to be hiding behind a few trees behind the attackers, however Masaki's pinpoint magic sensory enabled him to depict her location almost instantly. Even then he said nothing, instead he waited. 
​

 
​

The red head stood there quietly when Kathy began to throw her Nexus about, in an attempt to stop both Miles and Tyson from outright slaughtering the dark guild mages. Whilst she had valid points, they were a bit out of place with him. They were at war, and it was a matter of 'kill or be killed', and with the mage world on the brink of total annihilation with the Magic Council being destroyed, times were dire. Grimoire Heart slaughtered innocents in the streets, and brought terror wherever they surfaced. In order for this to stop, they had to die; every single one of them. Masaki wanted to be apart of that, not only for the sake of Fiore, but for himself as well. He'd make them suffer tenfold for what they had done to him. And whilst Masaki held a flaming conviction in his eyes, they masked something far greater. The boys fear. Currently Masaki was putting on a tough front, but it was one nobody besides him was aware about - however he was volatile and all over the place, and was on the brink of breaking at any moment. When Kathy proceeded to allow Masaki to deal with the Grimoire Heart mages, he nodded with a smile and an "Alright" before he slowly walked towards the cowarding mages with a serious expression on his face. 
​

 
​

Approaching them, Masaki took his hands out of his pockets and laid them by his side. The wind began to pick up at that point due to the arrival of Kathy's pet and companion, her dragon. Unfazed and unmoved by its arrival, Masaki still retained his position and loomed over the Grimoire Heart mages whom of which began to plead for a mercy. At that point, his blood began to boil. "Mercy?", his tone become venomous and full of hate as his magical aura began to fill the air. However, others would find that it felt different to the boy's usual magic. It felt artificial and indeed hateful, potentially even evil. Masaki at this point was unaware of the magic seeping out of him, as his full attention went into staring out the enemy. "What mercy did you give me when you took my family away from me?" He clenched his fist, as the intensity of his aura increased furthermore. "What mercy did you give me when your kind tortured and beat me, experimented on me, and took away whatever honour and dignity I had?" His magical aura began to peak at this point, and his eyes began to glow vibrantly both yellow and red as the ground beneath him
​

began to shatter under the pressure of his magical presence. Rocks and debris slowly beginning to rise around him.
​

 
​

At that point, tears began to stream down the boy's face as a burst of magic seemingly occurred and a construct of jagged rock came forth from out of his back, and curled upwards in order to form a large formation of what seemed to be a dragons claw. Crimson crystals spiked from all over it and it's claws resembled spears. All over the creation was blood, his blood, but it wasn't excessive. And in that moment the creation slashed at the Grimoire Heart mages and impaled them, raising them upwards as their blood began to fall down and trickle down the claw resembling rock and crystal construct. Then the 'dragon claw' slashed left and launched each of the dead mages bodies into a nearby tree before it reverted back into Masaki, leaving a decently sized wound in his chest. His blood pouring out of it quickly as the debris surrounding him fell and the magical aura dissipated, Masaki then returned 'back to normal' 
​

 
​

Eyes widened in shock, Masaki began to realise just what exactly had happened and fell to his knees, ignoring the blood soaked into his clothing and the blood that trickled from the wound on his back. His mouth opened but no words came out, as it then began to tremble in fear, followed soon after by his hands as they reached up to his head and ran through his hair. Masaki knew that Grimoire Heart had done something to him, but he didn't know what, they never told him. But now it all became clear. They had mutated the ethernano inside of him and intensified it, melding himself with it in a way normal mages are not. And as a side effect, strange and grotesque meshes of his magic could sprout forth from his body spontaneously. In Masaki's eyes he was nothing more than a monster at this point, and this only made everything worse in his eyes.

​

"They've turned me into a monster..." He said, quietly, and then reclined his head into his hands as he hid himself, quietly sobbing excessively and continuing to ignore the wound on his back. 
​

 
​

To say Grimoire Heart had ruined him would be an understatement. And even now, Masaki still had to explain just what had happened to him during these past six years. No one knew that Grimoire Heart had imprisoned him, no one knew anything. He had to tell them, and this recent event opened a whole new can of worms to that. 
​

 
​

He was broken, and this wasn't the Masaki that Kathy, Miles, Tyson, and everyone else knew.
​

 
​

 
​

​

While the two brothers were away, they informed their father about what happened, and his response was that Grimoire Heart needed to be eradicated with no hesitation and no mercy. They declared war. Miles and Tyson both took his words to heart, but may have taken it too far. They both had pint of anger within them that needed to be released and needless to say Grimoire Heart was their way to release it. The Redd's temper is well known within the guild especially since their father, a former S-class of Sabertooth had the worse of tempers. Their temper can lead them down a dark and destructive path without them knowing, and it usually takes a loved one to bring them back to the light. Miles has yet again slowly began to drift into that very darkness. His attacks weren't as bad as they could be, but if he continued on this path it would've worsen for sure. But before Miles could continue his destructive path, Katherine blasted him with her Nexus blast. Miles' wasn't prepared for the attack, and he didn't have time to harden his aura to create a shield. Miles' took the blast full on and was sent back sliding in the dirt. 
 


Miles vision was blurry and his hearing was slowly returning. He likes in Kathy's direction and sees her walking towards him. He couldn't hear her, and his vision was a bit off still. She crouched in front of him as his senses restored itself. As she talked to him, with a dome over them both, his face still held anger and his hands still had his red hot aura flowing off of it. He glances past Katherine and looks at the dead Grimoire Heart mages one the ground, One had broken bones with burns on his body, and the other had a hole in its chest with crimson red flames burning their insides, no doubt leaving a foil scent in the air. Katherine pulls on Miles' shirt causing him to look at her and lock eyes with her. Miles' eyes were still glowing, but the color was more or a blood red color. She mentions the darkness that he was slowly sipping into, causing him to take a deep breath trying to calm himself.


The glow in his eyes slowly begin to dim down, as so his aura. His eye color return to their normal amber shade. He pulls himself away from Katherine's grasp and sits back a bit. He looks over at the bodies again then back at Katherine. I'm not sorry for what I did. They were stupid enough to return after basically declaring war, and I was just simply releasing some pint up aggression. Better on them than anyone in Sabertooth.  Miles' words were true. He held no remorse for the actions he and his brother have taken to stop the Grimoire Heart mages. He stood up and looks at Katherine. I may not be sorry for my actions, but I am sorry that I made you worry. I promised you a long time ago that I won't go back to that place, but Grimoire Heart needs to be eradicated, without hesitation. I'm sure I'm not the only mage that feels that way. Suddenly Miles feels a strange aura rising from Masaki. He looks at him, and sees how his aura has changed since the last time he's been around him. It felt evil, and reminded Miles of his past self. Katherine and Miles, couldn't feel the shift in the wind due to the shield around them, but they could tell just how intense it was just from the trees around them.They were blowing wildly with the wind. Miles looks around seeing the dirt and rocks lifting into the air due to Masaki's magical pressure. Kat...drop the shield. He told her but sadly it was too late.


Masaki had already attacked the Grimoire Heart mages with a rock and crystal dragon claw construct that came from his back. Miles was in complete surprise. Once Katherine dropped her Nexus dome, Miles ran over towards Masaki's side as he fell to his knees crying with a terrible wound. He looks at Kathy and Tyson. We gotta get em back to the guild fast. Looks like you'll be hitching a ride on Lionel Masaki. Tyson grab Masaki, and get on Lionel. As Tyson grabs Masaki, Miles takes Katherine and lifts her off her feet. He creates aura wings and with one flap he of his wings, he was launched into the air and floated onto the back of Lionel. Once on Lionel he place Katherine down and when Tyson was on with Masaki he looks art Katherine. Get us back to the guild. He looks back at Tyson. Wrap up his wound and try to slow the bleeding until we get to the infirmary. Miles said as he took off his jacket and shirt, giving Tyson his shirt to use as a wrapping. Miles was determined to help his friend as much as he can. @LeSoraAmari @Britt-21 @Solemn Jester

Good, he had been snapping from the darkness that had been absorbing him the moment he attacked the Grimoire heart mages. He was sorry that he worried her but not for his actions which irritated his wife just a bit. To know that he wasnt sorry for doing so much damage while a mage was still alive and making him or her suffer. A quick death is what they should do. They werent torturers or murderers. Her attention then shifted towards the magical energy that felt out of place and when she looked, she seen Masaki and multiple mages sent flying. Just as Miles asked her to drop the shield, she did and stood up watched as Masaki dropped to the ground in tears What happened to you, Masaki... she thought to herself, hurrying over and crouching in front of Masaki "It's okay, Masaki.." she said softly, trying to comfort him, despite him knowing that he probably thought of himself as some sort of monster for doing what he had done. The wound on his back wasnt pretty either... Before Kathy could say anything, her husband picked her up and brought her atop of Lionel who was keeping guard and waiting for everyone to hop aboard. "Miles, I need to talk with you later..." she said softly, allowing him to put her down and she took a seat on her dragon's back.
​

 
​

As soon as everyone was on top and the Gh mages were wiped out, Lionel took off towards the guild, being steady with his flying and trying not to make it so bumpy. Thoughts rushed in the S class's head. Why did her husband and her brother-in-law decide it was a good idea and brutally kill the mages as they did? Letting them suffer was curel and something that GH would do. Sabertooth was a light guild, not a dark guild. Sure, Grimoire Heart was evil and needed to be wiped out, but it was better to do it in quick killings rather than enjoy the suffering of the evil mages... Her own mind had been shook more than ever and it irritated her greatly. To know that her own husband wasnt sorry for doing something like that. And then there was Tyson who was Tyson and did almost what the hell he wanted. Katherine brought her hand up to her face and used her fingers to press on her temples with a soft sigh. She had to get her grip together, she was slacking lately and that was something she didnt want to happen. Maybe it was just the worry of her child and nephew taking a toll on the mother. Kathy needed to stay focused, needed to make sure no other Grimoire heart mages were to approach the city and cause more distruction.

Lionel landed near the guild hall and used one of his wings as a ramp for them to get down. Kathy was the first to slide down the wing and land perfectly. Fixing her cloak and putting her hood over her head again, turning towards Lionel and the rest of the boys "Hurry and get him inside." she said with her soft voice, her expression blank just as her fathers used to be when she seen him. Kathy moved towards the large doors of the guild hall and pulled it open to allow everyone to go first.

Tyson Redd





Tyson watched in amazement as Masaki slaughtered the GH mages. He had to admit he was a bit impressed, and slightly jelous. Tyson felt the shift in the wind, and watched as the land changed. Rocks, and debris rose from the ground, and a giant crystalized dragon claw erupted from Masaki's back. Tyson seemed as indifferent as ever to this. But he was honestly concerned," he felt the evil energy coming from Masaki. He couldn't help but wonder what Grimoire Heart did to him. He felt no pity for the mages Masaki slaughtered. He only wished he could have broken them himself. He walked over, and lifted Masaki in his arms. Raising a eyebrow at him,"Have you always been able to do that?" He said but didn't wait to hear his answer.  He leapt on to Lionel, Masaki still in his arms. He then looked over to Kathy and frowned. It annoyed him that she felt it necessary to stop him. He knew that the enemy deserved no mercy. But he obliged her wishes, just to watch Masaki do what he wanted to do to them. Well....minus the giant dragon claw. Tyson nodded at Miles, and took his shirt. Using it to wrap, and bind his wounds."I'm just curious, how is he even alive after having a dragon claw erupted from his back? Isn't that the same as being impaled?" He asked, and upon their landing quickly leapt if Lionel, and brought Masaki inside. He gently placed him down on a table, and began getting medical supplies to treat his wounds. He had minor medical training, not to much. But hopefully enough to help Masaki somewhat. He had to learn a bit of medical training for when he, or someone he was training with got injured. After he did what he could, cleaning and bandaging his wounds better he stepped back."Best get someone with better training, I doubt that'll do to much for him." He told Kathy, and Miles, before taking a seat and letting out a sigh. He needed to take a break for a moment, his head was beginning to bother him.

​

 
​

Cold, hard clicks of her boots echoed along the dark dungeon. Well it seemed a fraction darker then usual because with every step the Lightning Mage took, there was a lick of lightning snap out from her frame that would leap onto a nearby light fitting, sending the globe inside to explode and shower the floor with pieces of broken glass. The clicks of her boots now the sound of crunching glass and the snap and crackle of her Lightning which was so far out of control. The only saving grace was the facility being underground, the walls lined in concrete and earthed, meaning she couldn't send the whole facility up in smoke as she had done once or twice before. Inside the lightning bolts would snap out and run along the walls and roof around her, like pressing a hand to a plasma ball.
​

 
​

  Reveal hidden contents

 
​

The sheer darkness of the area illuminating nothing but the woman with the face which was livid. The sheer anger washing from her frame would make even the most toughest men fall to their knees and weep. Her fists clenched now to the point blood was starting to slip between her fingers and trail along behind her like a trail to her demise.
​

 
​

She had stop feeling ever since that day, not to long again. The feeling of his body still held within her arms as a hand lifted up and smeared blood across her distraught face. A soft smile staring back at her with those eyes half asleep as always. Though she knew if they closed down this time... they would not re open again. Opening her mouth as if to say something but it was too late. The hand that smeared her cheek with blood now fell and dangled by his side as Rosaline pulled him close into her body. Weeping... weeping like she had never done ever before. Her lightning collecting with such a fever pitch it blew outwards and turned all who touched it to ash almost instantly, even the dead body whom she had clutched tightly to her frame. His cold body, turned to ash and blown away against the wind.
​

 
​

Rosaline couldn't remember anything that happened after that. It went black, she was screaming with tears streaming down her face as thunder clouds raged over head. Once she had no tears left the rage simply remained. Replaced now with this gritted teeth expression and a pain deep inside her eyes she didn't think she could ever be free off. Her heart beating but beating for nothing.
​

 
​

Breaking from her thoughts Rosaline rounded a corner as a wave of soldiers charged down with various crude weapons raised towards her. The woman lifted both hands as she slammed them together, a thick pulse of electricity working around her hands and arms before every one of the steel weapons were suddenly reefed from the Guard's hands, hurtling towards her and within a feet, Rosaline broke her hands apart and spread them wide, causing over 20 weapons to simply fall onto the ground with a clang and clutter, which echoed even more into the cold and dark corridor. The Guards, now fearful, tried to run away but Rosaline wouldn't let a single one leave with their heart still beating.
​

 
​

His heart didn't beat so, why should theirs?....
​

 
​

Suddenly every light fitting along the corridor exploded into nothingness sending the world into pitch darkness. For only a moment before a huge blinding light erupted and a huge thunder crack resounded as Rosaline slammed her hands into the ground and sent a flurry of lightning bolts running across the ground and shocking all those in their wake. It would jump, from one person to the next, like a chain reaction and with one scream from each and soon all the Guards and Soldiers collapsed against the ground with strange marking covering their bodies head to toe. The markings of a Lightning Strike.
​

​

 
​

Finally coming to the end of the corridor and what she hoped was the center of the base, Rosaline threw back her fist and slammed it with such force against the metal door, the hinges completely disintegrated and the Door frame caved in, sending the huge metal plate flying across the room and slamming into the far wall. Sending alarms and red lights to flash heavily now. Coating the terrifying girl in waves of black and red light. Though even in the chaos, as she stepped into the room she found her vision stuck to the back of someone facing a squadron of men. Clearly he was the target of the enemy though he almost looked like one of them. His hair was wild like it hadn't been brushed in years, traveling down his back and his whole body seemed to glow a black himself. Though it was only as the man turned after hearing the noise of the door bursting inwards, did Rosaline feast her eyes on his face....
​

 
​

Even the girl who wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, the most unobservant being on the planet, let her eyes flow over his face. To his red eyes.
​

 
​

Eyes?
​

 
​

The hair was different, but the face was the same... but the eyes were different?... It couldn't be... could it? He was different, to different and still...
​

 
​

"Kazuo?..." She whispered gently, on an outward breath, not even sure he would hear her in the chaos.
​

 
​

He was being surrounded. Her eyes widening further as her breathing literally stopped then. Enough of a distraction of course for a trailing group to appear behind her and a Gantlet covered Mage slammed Rosaline in the back of the head, sending the strong girl crashing into the ground with enough strength to even see her dizzy. Still half dazed, Rosaline pushed a knee underneath her as her teeth gritted more but gasped as the same Gantlet enforced mage grasped at the back of her long blonde hair, reefing her whole frame back making the woman snarl angrily even as her blue eyes squeezed down. She was just about to send out a Lightning attack when her eyes slowly slipped open seeing Kazuo (or at least she thought at first) even further surrounded. Though he looked more frantic now.
​

 
​

There was a group of 6 or so mages in the corner of the room which seemed to be standing in a half moon shape, hands together and seemingly charging... something... all hands outstretched towards a center point which glowed. Rosaline's breathing only intensified as she could feel the swell of the Magical Essence which made her shake to her core.
​

 
​

 
​

 
​

If they stayed here they were as good as dead.

When Takeo had kicked her away he saw same boulder get thrown at Rosa. Except this time it exploded upon contact with the ground and sending shards of stone everywhere. He quickly turned around to the direction of where it came from, having a good idea of who did it. "Damn it Lily I told you not to interfe..." However he soon noticed that the girl was already gone. It was as if she was taunting him at this point. "I'm going to kill that bitch at the end of this..." He said before turning his attention back to Rosa and continued his charge. He watched as Rosaline reached for her weapon and uncoiled it into a sort of bladed whip. An interesting weapon indeed but he won't backdown. Takeo went in for the punch as his fist landed directly on Rosa's chest, however she was only knocked a away a few meters as a pose to the usual launch across the street he usually managed. This woman is a lot more sturdy than he thought. Then Rosa attacked too by snapping her whip around Takeo's body, the blades cutting into his skin and finishing with the zap of Rosa's powerful lightning. His hair stood on end due the the electric shock. However after it was done he remained standing albiet barely. Rosaline spoke of getting revenge for him killing her boyfriend but Takeo just smirked at the comment.
​

 
​

"Revenge eh... Why don't you hurry up and take it then? Kill me and be done with it eh?" Rosa smashed her hand into Takeo's already injured arm, this time instead of dislocating, the brute force of Rosa's punch caused it to break instead. Takeo was launched away and could already feel the pain rushing across his body. But he still got up, completely fueled by the heat of the battle, no matter what kind of pain worked against him he still fought on. Takeo removed the cloak on his back and began wrapping it around his arm and shoulder, using it to keep his arm secure to save it flapping about during the fight. Then he picked up the umbrella he dropped earlier with his working arm and pointed the tip at Rosa. "If you want revenge then you'll have to earn the priviledge. Fight to your fullest and defeat me! However if you die on me then you'll leave poor Dorian... Broken hearted" Takeo laughed at his own comment before bullets started spraying from the umbrella. If Rosa decides to use that whip again then he'll make it wrap around the umbrella and he can pull Rosa towards him and punch her square in the face.

Rosaline Dreyar
​

 
​

Watched as her blade coiled around Takeo and electrocuted him, eyes narrowing down hoping that would be the end of it. But no....that man was as stubborn as she was it seemed and refused to just roll over and die as she had wanted. Why did he just keep going anyway? Did he even have anything to live for anymore? Maybe he just got off of hurting everyone around him? It didn't make any sense to her, then again with Dorian dead why was she still going on? She had no purpose left did she?
​

 
​

Oh yes that's right... Yamato...and Kazuo, they still needed her. And Blue Pegasus needed her right? And Hibiki, her brother needed her to. Plus it just wasn't in her nature to give up either. His comments only made her tsc angrily as her hand tightened more on her sword. "DON'T YOU THINK I'VE BEEN TRYING TO KILL YOU THIS ENTIRE TIME! WHY DON'T YOU DO ME A FAVOUR AND GIVE UP?" She screamed. If his arm was broken Rosaline wasn't observant enough to notice, however she raised her eyebrow as he pointed an umbrella of all things at the girl. What was he planning? To spin the damn thing at her? That's when she heard the unmistakable sound of a trigger and a gun shot sound and grinned wildly and almost out of place as she snapped her free hand forward with her fist clenched. 
​

 
​

"You're a fool." She muttered. "No one controls lightning as well as I do..." With her fist still clenched she started to subtly adjust the current flowing through her hand for an alternating current, this current creating an electromagnetic field right across the girl's arm. As the bullets flew they suddenly stopped about a foot away from her, dangling in mid air like they were just floating in some liquid or water, before she released her fist and every bullet flew to land at her feet, unharmed. Seeing the point of the umbrella she clenched her fist and alternating the current only stronger, creating an even stronger magnetism that would feel like the umbrella itself wanted to rip itself from his hand. 
​

 
​

"Long distance won't work with me, why don't you come closer so we can finish this." Lifting up her sword to be horizontal to the ground before letting it snap back into place and dropping it with a resounding clatter to her side. Letting go of the magnetism pull and instead slamming her fists before drawing them back as she crouched. Bracing herself even as the storm clouds overhead darkened and lightning started to sporadically cascade down and land in thunderbolts all around the two. Sending already panicing residents to flee faster.

Contrary to popular belief Dorian had not been killed during his and Rosa's fight with the red-haired man, instead sustaining heavy injuries. He had, before she unleashed a torrent of electricity, managed to tunnel himself underground and transmute himself some bandages. He fell unconscious after that and was subsequently discovered by some people who came to investigate the scene following the battle. It was honestly a stroke of luck that someone noticed the air shaft he had made and thought to dig him up since he more than likely would have died if it weren't for the medical attention they gave him. Dorian spent the next while in his saviors' village as he recovered, the thought that he hadn't been able to help Rosa in that fight echoing endlessly though his mind during the time that he was confined to his bed. As he slowly regained his mobility he started to help around the village as much as he could, both to regain his strength and to try to repay the villagers for saving him. He might be lazy, but he was at least capable of showing gratitude. From this, and as his recovery progressed, he moved on to physical training and developing his magic, his regrets concerning the fight spurring him to truly try to get stronger for what was probably the first time in his life. For months he worked tirelessly to improve himself, so much so that no one who knew him would believe that it was him. His efforts bore fruit and, once he was recovered sufficiently, he bid the villagers goodbye and set off to make the long trek back to her, the only person that it could be said that he really cared about. It had already been many months since that fight and he was anxious to see her again, to tell her that he was alive as she surely thought him dead.


By the time that Dorian made it back to Baslma Village, ten months had passed all in all. However, in contrast to his mostly uneventful journey, all was not well in the village and he could hear the sounds of combat emanating from the direction of the guild hall. Throwing his pack to the side and incasing it in stone, Dorian began to rush towards the battle, unslinging his bow from his back in preparation for use. It was not long after that that he found what, or rather who, he was looking for. The first thing that struck him was that her hair was short now. The second was that she was bloodied and injured. The third was that she was fighting the same red-haired man as ten months ago. Immediately a bitter rage sprang up within him, not for his sake, but rather hers. Dorian could not forgive anyone who hurt her as this man had. As he continued to make his way towards them he saw Rosa shock the man with her whip sword before he opened fire on her with a gun hidden within an umbrella. He wasted no time in raising his bow and loosing a volley of arrows, his hand moving at a blistering pace between the quiver on his belt and his bowstring, while still approaching the two. Then, as the arrows sped towards their target he transmuted a knife in his right hand and leapt at the man who had nearly killed him, stabbing him viciously and repeatedly in the neck. Or well, he would have done that last part had he not been forced to abort his charge by the rain of lightning Rosa summoned in a bid to kill her foe. As such he was forced to wait for the electric storm to subside to both attack the man who hurt Rosa and to go to Rosa herself, and as patient a man as Dorian was, this wait was agony.

Draneri: The Siren
​

The Siren had landed away from town after feeling dark and strange energies from Crocus even from as far away as she had been. She had flown, as fast as she could to arrive here outside town and had hovered far into the clouds to observe the situation. This was not the first time Draneri had witnessed a town in complete disarray, the screams of people running and in a panic could be heard even from as high as her vantage point was. Buildings were laid to waste and rubble was far. Still, Draneri in her 4 centuries had seen her far share of War's, countless plagues and natural disasters while her prey (Humans) always had a habit of picking themselves back and surviving on even through the worst of tragedies. Draneri for the most part distanced herself, or simply used the ensuing chaos to snatch humans lost in the carnage and steal their very life force while caring little for others.
​

 
​

At least, that was how she had always been. Draneri had come to change a few years ago, and for the first time refused to kill her Prey and even joined a Light Guild. However, controlling her urges was not as easy for a woman hundreds of years old and oddly, she had come to grow and love these particular humans and thus did not what to see them harmed. So Draneri had left, not for her sack but for their own, to control herself better and feed only as needed (even though this required feeding more frequently). It has been 2 full years since she had last killed, an amazing feat for a woman who had seen countless suns rise and fall. And while contemplating her return, here she found herself strolling through the now bare streets as people were starting to be evacuated and lead away from the town, off towards a place called "Mithweld." An interesting name, and one she had not heard of before.
​

 
​

The Siren was dressed rather unusually for her
​

 She had a thick Plated Black armor from head to toe, even covering her face with tiny slits for her eyes and a giant axe hung loosely by her side. She looked intimidating, especially as her wings flowed outwards to over double her height in length, before snapping back in and rustling as they slung back around her hips protectively. This caused most townsfolk to give the woman a very wide birth, perhaps even fearing her to be part of the Dark Guild who had destroyed their town?
​

 
​

​

 
​

AS she approached the huge imposing Guild Hall of Sabertooth, she released a breath of air, glad it was still intact and a worry she didn't even realise she had held slipped from her mind and her posture relaxed a fraction. The woman used a Gauntlet to push open the doors relatively quietly, though her mere presence was no doubt noticed for the sheer high alert that the Guild would now be on after their own Town had been ambushed. She spotted a collection of mages somewhere center stage, her keen golden eyes flowing over the scene to realise quickly it was the Redd brothers, Kathy and another, much younger boy with huge wounds on his back and in a clear state of shock and distress. Her ever calm presence glancing across the room to try to find Mizuki and Alicia perhaps, as she knew the Dark Energy woman was around... she could taste her scent even among the air from this distance, a taste even over the past years she had never once forgotten.
​

 
​

As much as she wanted to hunt down Mizuki and speak to her, her gaze drifted back to the distressing situation before her. She had no training in Medical studies (having been immortal with regeneration), however the woman could see his distress clear as day, and she was never one to like seeing people mentally struggling or in a panic. (Draneri could feed for longer and better when her partner was Calm and Happy and Pleasured. A crying, upset and depressed individual didn't taste particularly nice afterall). So knowing nothing about the situation, or who this boy even was, Draneri stepped closer to the group. As she did, a blinding light surrounded the Siren and stripped her of her armor and her Axe merely disappeared into nothing, leaving her how most who knew her would have remembered her. A long, flowing white gown, with her raven black wings curled about her hips, purple hair to her waist and glowing Golden eyes. Hands clasped before her. Elegant and graceful were words that best described her.
​

 
​

​

 
​

She came before Masaki just as Tyson had finishing doing what First Aid he could, her hand reaching up to grasp onto Tall Redd's shoulder in a warm and gentle fashion, flashing him a small smile as she did before he walked off. She jostled her wings a fraction, half spreading them out to keep people at bay, to try and ease up the space around the boy to allow him to breath a fraction easier. She reached her gloved hands to his cheeks as she tilted up his face a fraction, her eyes glowing a fraction to hold his attention at least for a moment, her whole body oozing nothing but an almost motherly presence. Soothing. Her thumbs brushing in underneath the boys eyes gently as she smiled sweetly. "Relax~...." she said on an outward breath, a soft blue mist flowing from her lips as she spoke, lacing her words with the perfume of Pacify, to further relax him before the woman started to hum very very gently. She pulled him in to rest his cheek along her chest, curling her arms around his shoulders even as her wings slowly slipped around him. Holding him close but keeping his back exposed. It would be painful afterall to touch, and she rested her head onto the top of his own, peering outwards to the eyes and faces around. The humming continued and grew louder, even as eyes snapped downwards to his back and the tiniest wave of a finger pointed downwards, almost to say, "He still needs help. I'll keep him calm if you can find someone to heal him." Though she never said these words incase it frighten him.
​

 
​

Her humming soon turned into soft words, a quite lullaby right in against his ear. Letting the fingers of her gloved hair peel through his red hair gently, like a mother's touch. Something she was not aware he hadn't had, for quite some years. However Draneri was not blind. She could see not all injuries were physical and he needed to mentally recover as much as he did the physical.

After Takeo had fired the bullets from his umbrella he saw them just stop in middair due to Rosaline's magic. Rosa's smirk of confidence clealy stated that an attack like that was pointless. "Well it doesn't hurt to try at least." He said while nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders. Takeo started to feel a strong force trying to rip the umbrella from Takeo's hand. He managed to hold on while ever so slightly being dragged a few inches. However looking back at Rosa she seems to have dropped her own weapon. She seemed to be hinting at something. It wasn't hard to figure out tho. When he did Takeo just chuckled. "I see! I knew I liked you from the start!" The magnetism pulling on his umbrella suddenly stopped but Takeo already got the message. He himself tossed the weapon up in the air and came falling back down with the tip getting stuck in the ground so it stood up right. "I trust you won't be trying any sleazy tricks with this bold action~" he said before taking a stance. Takeo's left arm was completely out of action for the moment but he wasn't about to let that affect him. Takeo focused most of his magic into his legs so they may be used for attacking instead. Usually at this point he'd be using every limb available but with the current circumstances that wasn't going to happen.
​

 
​

Rosa's lightning struck the area around them, sending the cowardly citizens to run to safety. But he didn't care about them anymore, his main priority was the Blue Pegasus mage that stood before him. She was certainly powerful not only on physical terms but also on magic too. Perhaps she's more of a match for him... He may not be able to beat her without using... "that..." Perhaps it will even be "that" he will use... "No matter how powerful my opponent is... I will stand on top..." However... The faint sound of an object whizzing through the air reached his ears causing his head to twitch back as an arrow raced past his face. Takeo immediatly jumped back to avoid the rest of the volley, nearly hitting a lightning strike in the process. Takeo's angry eyes darted round to the source wanting to see who's stupid enough to interrupt his fight. Then low and behold. The very man whom Takeo believed he had killed, stood before him with a knife in hand, waiting for the storm to subside. The smile Takeo once held was wiped off his face, replaced with something more of a bitter look upon the sight of an unfinished job.
​

 
​

"Oi... Bastard... Why aren't you dead?" Takeo started twitching a little, despite his looks, anger hits this guy hard. Takeo stared both Rosa and Dorian down as the air started to fill with extreme tension. Takeo was about to take a gamble here, he has accepted he stands no chance in this scenario, at least not as the way he is right now. "You have made a mistake showing yourself Dorian..." He muttered as magic flodded Takeo's entire body, strengthing him to limits beyond human capapbility. However because of this his body can't keep up and as a result blood started to pour from his eyes and his smile... His smile just stretched across his face. Takeo was activating his Beast Within ability. However... Images of his brother Ryu popped into his head and imediately canceled his spell. "No... I will not waste my life on you two..." This spell put Takeo at the highest risk of killing himelf from the inside. He's going to save it for the one reason he still lives on. Instead Takeo stood up straight with a completely serious face. The killers eyes darted to Dorian as he stompted the ground, creating a shckwave to knock both his opponents off balance and instantly charged straight towards Dorian, front flipping over him and kicking him as hard as Takeo could, send him flying towards Rosa. "I'll make you regret crawling out of your grave..."

​

Fairy Tail began to grow even more bustling by the minute. More mages began to flock within its halls like sheep and huddle amongst each other so as to get involved in the conversations happening in the centre between Fairy Heart and Fairy Tail alike. Hibiki had no way of anticipating just how well his mages would get along with his former comrades, family, and their sister guild. He was sure that even Arietta was pleased with this outcome, even if they both knew that the will of the Fairies was a powerful one, and that with love and kinship they could overcome anything. But.... just how true was this, and would such a sentiment be put to the test in the not too distant future? Such worries had been twisting and turning from within Hibiki's mind for quite some time now, and to be honest he didn't know why. 
​

 
​

As the male stood there, he averted his gaze towards both Darius and Dante when they approached him. His arms crossed over his chest and a smile formed on his face as he listened to both of them speak one after the other. Hibiki's brow furrowed whenthe two asked what the next move was and  to be quite honest he wasn't too sure himself. Word had got to him rather rapidly about the destruction of Era and the Magic Council, and his hatred for Grimoire Heart had only grown stronger because of it. Not only had they practically destroyed the Mage World, but they had killed his parents as well. It was a known fact that Hibiki didn't exactly like his parents due to their practically abandoning him when he was a child, however they were still blood and to Hibiki - family pride and honour was everything. Hibiki closed his eyes momentarily as he uncrossed his arms and rested a hand on Darius' and Dante' shoulders. "Listen." He said, "Before we make out next move we need to plan accordingly. I will not allow anyone to act off of their own accord  and I most certainly will not allow anyway to die for it. Besides, I need to stay out andwait for Lyra and Keira to arrive." With that, he released his hands from off of the two boys when suddenly Shiro's mirror appeared in front of him, and she too began to ask about the next move as well as request she aid Lamia Scale. It appeared that Lamia Scale was under attack by Grimoire Heart, which meant that the war was definitely going to start with earnest. "Do what you need to do, Shiro. Just remember to look after yourse-" 
​

 
​

"EVERYBODY TAKE COVER!"
​

 
​

BOOM!
​

 
​

An intense force of magic washed over Magnolia at that point. A large sonic boom shattered the very air in its thundering approach as it shattered the windows of the guild hall and even tipped some chairs over, and its sheer force was no doubt crushing to the majority. Hibiki looked around frantically to check if everybody was alright, his trench coat fluttering frantically as his eyes widened with a sudden realisation. He knew this magic, in fact he reacted to it in a way that no one else bar Abaddon would react in. As the name "Forneus!" escaped his mouth Hibiki instantly encased himself in a black lightning as he blasted through the walls and towards the origins of the blast. Black lightning crackled from within the Fairy Tail guild hall frantically as if it replicated Hibiki's own heart. And when he arrived, the site he saw was horrifying. The nearby port town of Hargeon had been completely destroyed, and the surrounding forest that once stood beautifully was now reduced to ash. And then there was his wife, his Lyra, laying in a pool of blood with next to no magic within her being. "Lyra!" He called, proceeding to run towards her and scoop her up into his arms so as to comfort her, "What an earth happened...? How did you lose control so extremely?". Forneus had done this, and something caused Lyra to lose control. He looked around rapidly as ash began to fall from the sky as a result of Forneus burning the entire forest. The ashfall was heavy and it blanketed the area, however, it was in that moment that something clicked. 
​

 
​

"Where's Keira?"
​

 
​

...
​

...
​

...
​

 
​

His eyes widened as he looked around, the scarring of a battle marked the area and Hibiki could sense the stray magics in the air. Grimoire Heart were behind this, and they had Keira. Hibiki was furious, no... he was outraged. His fists clenched together tightly as his face showed an expression of nothingness, his teeth grit and his eyes daggered as a phenomenally intense and evil magic began to fill the air. It was dense and thick, choking, and it was so intense that it virtually encased Magnolia and even Balsam within its grip. The aura escaping Hibiki was venomous and hellish, it was something so evil and so aggressive that no one would be able to connect it to him, although they would know that it was indeed his. As he knelt there with Myra In his arms, and a demonic aura seemingly encasing him, debris from Hargeon and the surrounding forest began to rise and twist about frantically in the air as the sky above began to cloud over and turn black in reaction to the intense power that was seeping from him. The clouds above even began to spin about in a circle frantically, rubbing together and booms of thunder began to make way.
​

 
​

But what happened next, was even more terrifying.
​

 
​

Placing Lyra down gently, he walkrd a few paces away from her as he stood there, gazing into nothing. All of the magical power in the air seemingly combusted at that moment as he screamed "DAMN YOU!" And a large purple light seemingly erupted from within him and encased him in it as he reverted into his Satan Soul State. His appearance changed considerably and as did  the aura of magic that exuded from him. It was hellish, and everything in between. Hibiki was in his Sitri State, one of his most destructive souls. Upon changing into this soul, Hibiki had completely lost himself in his anger, he saw red and nothing more. Demonic flames licked his being as he yelled again and released a large sonic boom, one far greater and more intense than that of Forneus. It was so intense, that it tore through the ground with ease, and even sent people flying on their feet. Raising a palm up towards the sky, A large ball of demonic dark magic melded with the demonic flames blasted up towards the sky, before exploding midair. The explosion was extremely large, and it's magical density so intense it could knock the wind out of you. From Fairy Tail, the sky virtually turned aflame with purple/black flames as the explosion seemingly tore a gigantic hole in the sky, smoke covering the sun and seemingly shrouding Fiore In the darkness of hell momentarily, all the while his magic only few intenser and intenser by the second. Small balls of demonic flame and energy began to rain from the sky and reduce whatever they touched into ash. The citizens from Magnolia and Balsam alike ran inside as gardens, trees, flowers, and other flora within the towns burned away into nothing. 
​

 
​

All the while, Hibiki returned to his wife as he regained all awareness, and reverted out of his Satan Soul before he created even more chaos. The screams of people virtualled pierced the air as a reaction to what he had just done, but he did not care. 
​

 
​

"I will get our girl back. That I promise you." He said, Lyra in his arms as he hugged her. Ferocity covering his face as he exuded a bloodthirsty aura. 
​

 
​

It was the apocalypse, and Grimoire Heart would not survive.

​

 
​

Akari blinked slightly when a blonde landed in her vicinity, moving with a surprising grace even when she jumped into the air; higher than ever on her own because of Akari's magic and she grinned when the blonde wiped out the enemies near her, "Thanks so much Miss Elisa! I saw you yesterday but didn't get the chance to introduce myself. I'm Akari Akeno; my name means the light in the morning, neat right? Anyway yes I'm the one who gave you the boost, I think that white light is coming from the dark skinned white haired girl with the neko brothers. Thanks for rescuing me by the way, I can't fight in this Takeover but my fighting Takeovers wipe me out...not...that I'm not fading fast already to be honest..." The pinkette whispered at the end of her words and wobbled as she felt her magic draining, she had to finish this though.
​

 
​

Akari's magic was starting to run low, she could push out the last of her magic in a powerful one shot boost; not that any of the S classes needed her boost but something was better than doing nothing, right? Akari takes a deep breath before hopping up on the roof of the Guild Hall, she did a little spin as she raised her pompoms high and cheered with all she had left, her boosting magic washing over the 3 S classes, "Kou! Noah! Ferra! This is the last of what I've got so do your best!" A powerful wave of boosting magic washed over the three after the strange dark haired girl with the sword before her Takeober shattered and Akari fell from the roof, magically exhausted; damn her and her small pool of magic, no matter how much she meditated she never got stronger...damn. With vision darkening she plummeted down and the white haired protection mage's eyes immediately sought out Akari's fading magic spotting her falling and in an instant she jumped high in the air; still boosted by Akari's spell and caught her. Shiro's back hit a still standing wall of the hall though she wasn't exactly stunned or anything she shook her head making the white waves ripple along her back flashing her Fairy Heart mark and beautiful tattoos for a moment.
​

 
​

Sighing softly Shiro lifted the girl into her arms and carried her back inside, eyes immediately seeking out Phineas; she'd heard him scream earlier and was still balancing on the fine edge of totally losing her shit but seeing him standing caused a small wave of relief to wash through her. Carefully she set the unconscious Akari on a bench before wandering over to Nikolas and Phineas, she tugged her white tank over her head and grabbed Nikolas' arm covered in blood and wiped it off with the white tank; not seeming to care how that made her look, she smiled sweetly at Nikolas then, "Sorry about not coming to help right away, I had been sort of busy. The new girl is pretty good at the whole support thing. You're not too badly hurt right? My shield should have been around you and everyone else." Speaking of shields, one was wrapped around Kou, Noah, and Ferra as well who were the three dealing with the one mage that had seemed proud to stand among the ranks of Grimoire Heart; and Shiro immediately hated her. Finally she turned her attention to Phineas whom she hugged before whispering softly, "Benzaiten's Barrier." She and Phineas were suddenly in a box of white light that felt cool on the inside, but Shiro simply smiled and hugged Phineas tightly, "Being in here will help you heal a little faster Phin, again sorry I didn't come sooner, and don't worry about your nieces and nephews, I've got them protected just the same as the others. Including you and your brother but my shield is weak compared to some of my other spells. If I focus solely on protection it's hard to break my defenses but I was fighting too so I guess I wasn't focusing hard enough. I apologize I'm going to go quiet for a bit, I need to concentrate on keeping everyone safe." She spoke softly so as not to disturb the air surrounding the two in the box; though she was now giving off intense magical energy while her voice seemed to echo all around them and the Guild Hall, surrounding it in her echo spell.
​

 
​

Outside the box she kept herself and Phineas in the whole hall was surrounded in a strange chilling white barrier; but touching it; if you were friendly, made one feel as if they'd put their hand in water; the barrier even rippled as if made or water, swirling and reflecting sunlight in a beautiful manner, if you were an enemy you'd slam into an icy cold wall of water that pushed you back out; not unbreakable mind you but it was definitely one of the heights of her protection magic; even if people didntryband shatter it...well they'd soon discover what a mistake that would be if they dared try.

Kelica Zefara
​

Fairytail Guild Hall
​

 
​

While Hibiki before her didn't answer to him being a Guild Master, the blonde hair girl's green eyes blinked cutely as she watched him place his hands onto both the men who had spoken to him earlier. It reminded her greatly of when Hibiki used to do that to her, often after a huge training session. Maybe he really was a Guild Master now? Had so much really changed after all these years? While she had stayed, relatively the same, for the last 6 years? Kelica blinked as spotted a mirror like spell seemingly appear out of no where, showing an image of.. was that a town? Kelica had to pierce her lips slightly as her eyes narrowed, trying to place it... it looked familiar though she hadn't been there very often. The Guild Emmerich had gone to, and Noah in that time they had spent away... Lamia Scale correct? Almost to answer her question, she spotted a frame in the distance from Shiro, with purple hair as well as others she didn't recognize surrounding a girl. But what she ALSO saw was a town in panic and more attacks and blood shed.... it didn't take look for Kelica to realise, especially with Shiro's words, that Margret Town was under attack, which also meant Noah was in danger as well.
​

 
​

Feeling her heart clench in her chest, the short girl thrust her hands out suddenly like she believed she could reach out and touch Noah's very visual in the mirror, but all her hands did was pass straight through the spell and the image became blurred. Her breathing becoming slightly faster, she turned as if to talk to Hibiki beside her. That was when there was an immense surge of energy like she had never felt before in her life. Kelica had already half braced herself as a staff almost instantly materialized before the end slammed itself into the ground, the whole Earth shaking as roots coiled and burst up from all points surrounding the Guild Hall, twisting and turning like something out of Jack the Beanstalk and coming to a center point at the very tip of the roof to the Guild.  This extra Root shield groaned wearily as it weaved and threaded among itself, getting stronger before taking the blast of the Sonic Boom head on, leaving nothing but a small earth shake within the Guild and leaving most people with nothing but a strange shudder although every window was brown and darkened from being contained within.
​

 
​

It was only after the sonic boom had passed, did Kelica suddenly let the staff fall from her soft fingers, her eyes glazed over as the girl took a shaking step and crashed to her knees.
​

 
​

Silence...
​

 
​

There was no a single whisper and word and once she had realized that, the girl could almost feel her powers start to crumble and trickle away from her. The roots which had only recently burst began to fray and snap, gently peeling down before sinking back within the Earth like they were never there to begin with. Hibiki said a word and blasted away and in any other situation she would have run to follow and help. She glanced up to roof and the black lightning which cascaded around, but even then her vision was clouded. It was silent... there wasn't a single voice within her head anymore. And that's what terrified her the most. Like the Forest nearby hadn't been burned alive, merely it just simply DIDN'T EXIST anymore. In a matter of seconds.
​

 
​

Kelica took a deep breath in before she clutched at her head and let out an ear piercing scream even as tears pooled in the corners of her eyes.

Lily Ann's head tilted to the side as she watched Aleria lift the hall on wings of white, keeping it up long enough for the others to escape; Lily Ann was only a little mad about this and had trained her left hand at Aleria about to zap her from the sky when low and behold, traitor number one came out of the hall carrying traitor number two and the cute girl who had 'saved' Lily Ann previously. There was a deep sense of guilt and some shame though when she saw Yamato a deep frown marring her pretty features, she had suffered and if she could make him feel a fraction of her pain she would do it, he would suffer. That sense of betrayal made words spill from her mouth, words s that proved how unstable she was emotionally right then. "Yamato...you know...I don't know how to talk to or handle you...right now...but ah...did you know? The first year I was with Grimoire Heart I fought with all I had to keep from staring into the abyss for too long, but of course there's not much you can do, when you stare into the abyss eventually the abyss stares back into you...I did something awful and that next year...every day for 365 days....I tried to call you, to contact you. I wanted to come home, I'd fallen so deep I couldn't drag myself out alone, I needed help and I don't admit that often...but you never answered...so I became trapped. I prayed you know, wanted you to not forget me, sadly when I like someone I'm not the best at handling it, though I'd planned to ask you out six years ago at the Grand Magic Games...but then all that happened and you moved on forgetting me...after everything I'd done...everything I was doing to try and protect this Guild and the people in it. After everything I did for this place I still...got hurt by the people I cared about most!" With that she stomped her foot, childish as the gesture was she didn't care, the ground shook around her and lightning of black split the sky wide open.
​

 
​

Her hair; normally green with yellow sparkles went half green half yellow, mud dripped down the entirety of her right side, while black lighting arced off her left, reminding someone of a mudslide in a heavy rainstorm where lightning was going wild. She even clasped her hands together and as she did that earthen bombs rose from the ground surrounding her, and they were filled with lightning. "Please get out of my way Yamato...you're the one person I don't want to hurt..." Even if everyone else is free game... She thought idly as she stared up at Yamato with glassy eyes full of unshed tears; she didn't like the thought of fighting him of all people, but not wanting to and being willing to were entirely different things, if she had to, she would fight...maybe not with all her wicked power but...she would do what she could. By the gods she was unstable though, right then, maybe from now until forever she might never be okay again...but she found she cared less and less about that chance.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall

During the three hours that had passed since the two Grimoire Heart mages had been brought in for questioning, Ryu hadn't moved much from where he'd been sitting three hours prior. He was still sprawled out on one of the many chairs in the Fairy Tail guild hall, only slightly paying attention to the things going on around him. He was snapped out of his daze when he heard Kelica's voice and he opened his eyes to see her standing next to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. A soft smile found its way onto his face and he put his arms around her to return her hug as she clung to him. When he felt like it had gone on long enough, he broke the embrace and set her back down, putting a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "It's nice to see you again too Kelica," he replied warmly as Kelica struggled to find the right words to express her emotions. "It has been quite a long time, hasn't it?" He simply smiled and nodded in response when Kelica stammered out that she was going to make herself some tea. He sat back down in his chair and relaxed again, his eyes drifting closed once more. There simply wasn't anything to do right now. The only thing currently happening was the interrogation of the Grimoire Heart members that Aria and the others were conducting, but that was something he that he had absolutely no interest in taking part in. He started to doze off again, half-sleeping as the minutes crawled by. Eventually, he started to lose interest in sleeping as well. He sat up in his chair and fished around in his pocket, pulling out a leather bound notebook and fountain pen. If he was going to waste time, he might as well spend it working on ideas for his next novel and be at least somewhat productive.
Ryu looked up from his notebook when he heard Cassandra enter the guild hall and address the guild, saying that she was an ally. He of course, already knew this, as the two saw each other fairly regularly, due to the fact that they were cousins. Cassandra had also taken over his former role as caregiver to Yui, his younger sister (although the young girl seemed to need a caregiver less and less these days) so he had seen Cassandra each time he made his monthly visit to his sister. He offered a quick wave in Cassandra's direction, opting not to steal her attention for more than a second since it seemed she had more important matters to deal with at the moment.
His concentration was thoroughly shattered as Hibiki suddlenly yelled out for everyone to take cover and an immense wave of magic innundated Magnolia. An enormous sonic boom followed up the magic wave, blasting out the windows of the guild hall and shaking it down to its very foundations. Ryu was immediately on his feet, assessing the damage and checking to make sure no one was injured. He watched as Hibiki suddenly left the guild hall, rushing away to who knows where. His head snapped in Kelica's direction as he heard her scream, and he dashed over to her side. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight but reassuring embrace, rubbing her back slowly in an effort to calm her down. "Shhhhh Keli," He whispered soothingly, continuing to hold her close. "Everything's going to be just fine"

​

While Hibiki before her didn't answer to him being a Guild Master, the blonde hair girl's green eyes blinked cutely as she watched him place his hands onto both the men who had spoken to him earlier. It reminded her greatly of when Hibiki used to do that to her, often after a huge training session. Maybe he really was a Guild Master now? Had so much really changed after all these years? While she had stayed, relatively the same, for the last 6 years? Kelica blinked as spotted a mirror like spell seemingly appear out of no where, showing an image of.. was that a town? Kelica had to pierce her lips slightly as her eyes narrowed, trying to place it... it looked familiar though she hadn't been there very often. The Guild Emmerich had gone to, and Noah in that time they had spent away... Lamia Scale correct? Almost to answer her question, she spotted a frame in the distance from Shiro, with purple hair as well as others she didn't recognize surrounding a girl. But what she ALSO saw was a town in panic and more attacks and blood shed.... it didn't take look for Kelica to realise, especially with Shiro's words, that Margret Town was under attack, which also meant Noah was in danger as well.

Mitsuki Yamada





Mitsuki had gone off on his own after his encounter with his brother, and company. He sat down at the bar biting his lip nervously. There seemed to be something going on in the guild. The emotions  exuding off the mages around him we're affecting him in negative ways. He had become irritable, and grouchy. He even snapped at a fellow mage for sitting to close to him. Which was extremely unusual for him since he normally loved physical contact. Well most anyway, except when it was painful."What kind of sick twisted individual gets off on pain anyway?" Mitsuki found himself wondering, when suddenly there was a yell. Then the guild shook, but Mitsuki ignored it. Wasn't like their was anything he could do about it anyway.


After that he heard the same voice yell again. This time a name, and it seemed be coming from Hibiki. Mitsuki watched as he literally bolted from the guild hall, then went back to doing nothing. His mood didn't improve as those around him only seemed to get more worried, scared, and other unpleasant moods. Mitsuki was preparing to head to bed, when he was overwhelmed with several strong feelings. One dark and aggressive, it shook Mitsuki to his core. He looked towards the source of the feeling, glad he was safe for the moment.


Then another feeling hit him, this one cold, empty, and much closer. Mitsuki stood up, and turned towards the source. It was Keli," how did I not notice she was here?" He asked himself, wondering why he didn't notice sooner. After all he was good friends with Keli, and usually he noticed right away when someone familiar was near. Perhaps he had been affected more by his parents, and Masaki's death than he knew. He quickly ran up to Keli, kneeling next to her, and Ryu who was now holding her. Mitsuki placed a hand on Ryu's shoulder, and gave him a concerned look."Please allow me." He said simply moving closer to Keli, and placing a hand on her forehead. He began to whisper incoherently, his eyes closed, and magical energy flowing from him to Keli. His voice spoke in her mind," don't worry Keli, everything is okay. I'm here for you, so are all the others, please calm down. You're not alone," Once he said calm down, a feeling of warmth, and calmness would begin to take over the cold empty feeling Keli was currently feeling. Mitsuki kept his hand on her, talking to her just Incase she needed more assistance.

Bastion had been silently waiting for the man with the mechanical arm to answer him; though he didn't seem to notice the blue haired man offering to repair the machine for the other man; though he was vaguely familiar to Bastion, the blunette couldn't place him exactly but all of that was forgotten in an instant, Hibiki's voice even reaching inside the infirmary where Timothy and Bastion were at. He had been caught off guard by the sudden violent shaking that shattered windows even though he had sensed Kelica's magic creating the barrier that saved most of the people inside from falling on their rears, including Bastion himself, the magic faded away quickly though and while for the moment he had been concerned it wasn't just enough to send him running for Kelica, instead his eyes trailed over the broken windows and outside his jaw dropping suddenly when he noticed the lack of forest, which had Bastion's feet carrying him to Kelica quickly although it turned into a full on sprint when he heard her scream. His eyes widened when he heard the sound and ran full speed to his Queen's side, where a strange red head...R-Ryu right? Was kneeling beside Kelica hugging her and trying to comfort her, there was another man too mumbling incoherently to Kelica; without thinking much a small explosion went off by his head and he snapped at the two coddling his queen. "What'd you two do to her!? I swear if you hurt her...!" Bastion's eyes blazed, his magically enchanted glass eye changing to the color of red, as a pulsing, throbbing red orb appeared in his hand, though unlike before it didn't explode without his say so. Okay so he wasn't the calmest person in the world, and he had a bad habit of jumping to conclusions, but all he really knew was Kelica screamed and he didn't know why and that made Bastion tense as hell.
​

 
​

He took a deep breath though and closed his hand on the quickly beating orb, it didn't explode thankfully but he now carefully knelt beside Kelica and  lightly took her hand, keeping hold of her while he lightly tapped her cheek, a large warm hand pressing against her cheek even while smiling oddly sweetly, "My Queen...what's wrong? What happened that made you scream? I'm worried..." He spoke softly lifting his free hand to lightly wipe the welling tears from the corners of her eyes, mostly ignoring the two who were also trying to help Kelica; though she didn't try and push either away from the quaking blonde. No he simply worked around them, his light blue hair falling in his face to hide the once blazing red eye; only his bright cerulean eye visible to Kelica while he didn't dare move too far away from her.

  Nikolas shrugged when Shiro used her shirt to wipe off his hand, sitting at the table shortly afterward. "Mehhh, it's fine. Phin and I are pretty damn good at making sure the guild hall don't get exploded," he answered with a shrug, looking to Phineas as a barrier surrounded his brother. Phin shuddered momentarily, but then calmed down; he didn't stand up, remaining seated on the ground, but the pianist nodded slowly, watching with glassy eyes as her spells continued to protect the guild hall. 


 "Ey, Phin, you up for another round later?"


  "Always am," was his hollowed answer. He looked on, unblinking, watching a good portion of dark wizards get shot backwards, away from the guild hall. Nikolas smiled sadly, looking in the same direction as his brother. 


  "At times like this, I kinda wish my senses were normal," he commented; his voice was suddenly more serious, older than his age. Almost Phineas-esque. "You hear it too, dontcha?"


  "Hear it. Smell it. If I looked out the window, I'd see it."


  "How loud?"


  "Earsplitting." 


  There was a pause as the twins looked at each other, developing an understanding for once, then they looked back at the door of the guild hall. Phineas wrapped his arm around Shiro's shoulder, closing his eyes as he just listened. 


  "Somewhere—"


  "—Someone—"


  "—Is—"


  "—Dying."


 "Jinx."

As she walked through the village, Cassandra noticed stray magical signatures in the air from a battle that had undoubtedly occurred a few hours prior to her arrival, and it felt hostile. And by further observation, she noticed the scars of a battle having marked the earth in numerous varieties and numerous locations. Her red hues seemingly scanned the area curiously as her being became encompassed with concern that rushed through her. After five minutes of walking, the woman arrived at the Fairy Tail guild hall and made her way inside, opening its large doors slowly as she stepped inside. To some, she would be nothing more than a stranger, a random woman walking into the guild hall seeking refuge or  possibly wanting to join. However, Cassandra was so much more than that. If they were observant, they would notice that the eb and flow of magic flowing through her was incredibly unique even for a mage, and if they truly knew her then they'd even know why that was the case. As her eyes scanned the room, she reached upwards to take off her hat as she stood there with a smile, her gaze totally friendly as she gripped onto her hat with her hands on her front. "Greetings, everybody." She said, her warm and serene voice would spark curiosity in some as they recognised it, but caution in some due to their unknowing of who she was. "I have come to lend my assistance, and help in any way I can." She continued, raising her hand so as to show everyone her guild mark, being completely identicle to her grandmothers. "You have nothing to fear, I am an ally."

When Ayano told Lunaria about vampirism she was expecting some kind of look of fear. However instead she got the opposite, a warm hug... A soft one at that. As the girl hugged Ayano she could even feel she was a lot more squishier than humans usually are. However aside from that, this kind of reaction was certainly a nice change from what she'd usually get from telling someone else. Although Ayano did kind of give a biased explanation since she was a vampire herself. If Lunaria were to ask an everyday human about vampirism the story would be far more different. Upon the vampire asking her question, Lunaria released Ayano from her grasp and spoke about what she truly is. It turns out she wasn't human at all. Rather she was something called a rutarian, of which Ayano in all her years has never heard of. Of course this did pique her interest as a result. Lunaria went on to explain that Rutarians are rather weak towards magic, not only that but portal travel tends to mess them up a little too. "Huh... Honestly speaking that sounds rather inconvenient with you being a mage and all." After explaining her reasons for leaving her home she went on to say how her parents have been killed by Grimoire Heart. "Grimoire... Heart... I... I see. I'm sorry to hear that." A foul mood had soon settled around them. It makes sense now why she joined Fairy Heart. Ayano even considered telling her about her previous affiliation with the dark guild but... Perhaps it's best to keep quiet about that for now. However Lunaria managed to bring back the better atmosphere by asking what Fairy Tail is like. Asking a vampire girl about a guild that saved her life is bound to surface some positive responses.
​

 
​

"Fairy Tail... Well... There would be a lot to be said but we'd be here forever if I told you everything. However what I can say is that Fairy Tail has brought new meaning to my life... I... Although I can never undo the wrongs I have commited. Faiiry Tail has offered me a home and a chance to walk a better path. For that I am eternally grateful." Ayano soon heard the doors open at the front of the hall, Ayano stared somewhat wary of a possible intruder, a woman with bright white hair stood there looking somewhat at home. She proclaimed that she was here to help and raised her hand to reveal the mark of Fairy Tail. It seems that Ayano still hasn't met everyone yet. However what followed soon after was a giant wave of magic that just washed through the guild hall. It felt powerful and it didn't seem to originate from the white haired woman whose magic was unique-feeling is it is. Ayano turned back to Lunaria to say one more thing before asking the guild master what that wave was all about. "Listen... Lunaria. I know I have explained that vampires are not as monstrous as humans say they are. But by nature we are still dangerous and some of us even turn feral. You could probably trust Sera more than you can trust me... I even have trouble trusting myself..." "Oi... You're aiming that at me aren't you?" "You be quiet." With that said Ayano made her way to Aria. "Master. Did you feel that wave of magic? It felt somewhat... Demonic..."

​

Fairy Tail began to grow even more bustling by the minute. More mages began to flock within its halls like sheep and huddle amongst each other so as to get involved in the conversations happening in the centre between Fairy Heart and Fairy Tail alike. Hibiki had no way of anticipating just how well his mages would get along with his former comrades, family, and their sister guild. He was sure that even Arietta was pleased with this outcome, even if they both knew that the will of the Fairies was a powerful one, and that with love and kinship they could overcome anything. But.... just how true was this, and would such a sentiment be put to the test in the not too distant future? Such worries had been twisting and turning from within Hibiki's mind for quite some time now, and to be honest he didn't know why. 
​

 
​

As the male stood there, he averted his gaze towards both Darius and Dante when they approached him. His arms crossed over his chest and a smile formed on his face as he listened to both of them speak one after the other. Hibiki's brow furrowed whenthe two asked what the next move was and  to be quite honest he wasn't too sure himself. Word had got to him rather rapidly about the destruction of Era and the Magic Council, and his hatred for Grimoire Heart had only grown stronger because of it. Not only had they practically destroyed the Mage World, but they had killed his parents as well. It was a known fact that Hibiki didn't exactly like his parents due to their practically abandoning him when he was a child, however they were still blood and to Hibiki - family pride and honour was everything. Hibiki closed his eyes momentarily as he uncrossed his arms and rested a hand on Darius' and Dante' shoulders. "Listen." He said, "Before we make out next move we need to plan accordingly. I will not allow anyone to act off of their own accord  and I most certainly will not allow anyway to die for it. Besides, I need to stay out andwait for Lyra and Keira to arrive." With that, he released his hands from off of the two boys when suddenly Shiro's mirror appeared in front of him, and she too began to ask about the next move as well as request she aid Lamia Scale. It appeared that Lamia Scale was under attack by Grimoire Heart, which meant that the war was definitely going to start with earnest. "Do what you need to do, Shiro. Just remember to look after yourse-" 
​

 
​

"EVERYBODY TAKE COVER!"
​

 
​

BOOM!
​

 
​

An intense force of magic washed over Magnolia at that point. A large sonic boom shattered the very air in its thundering approach as it shattered the windows of the guild hall and even tipped some chairs over, and its sheer force was no doubt crushing to the majority. Hibiki looked around frantically to check if everybody was alright, his trench coat fluttering frantically as his eyes widened with a sudden realisation. He knew this magic, in fact he reacted to it in a way that no one else bar Abaddon would react in. As the name "Forneus!" escaped his mouth Hibiki instantly encased himself in a black lightning as he blasted through the walls and towards the origins of the blast. Black lightning crackled from within the Fairy Tail guild hall frantically as if it replicated Hibiki's own heart. And when he arrived, the site he saw was horrifying. The nearby port town of Hargeon had been completely destroyed, and the surrounding forest that once stood beautifully was now reduced to ash. And then there was his wife, his Lyra, laying in a pool of blood with next to no magic within her being. "Lyra!" He called, proceeding to run towards her and scoop her up into his arms so as to comfort her, "What an earth happened...? How did you lose control so extremely?". Forneus had done this, and something caused Lyra to lose control. He looked around rapidly as ash began to fall from the sky as a result of Forneus burning the entire forest. The ashfall was heavy and it blanketed the area, however, it was in that moment that something clicked. 
​

 
​

"Where's Keira?"
​

 
​

...
​

...
​

...
​

 
​

His eyes widened as he looked around, the scarring of a battle marked the area and Hibiki could sense the stray magics in the air. Grimoire Heart were behind this, and they had Keira. Hibiki was furious, no... he was outraged. His fists clenched together tightly as his face showed an expression of nothingness, his teeth grit and his eyes daggered as a phenomenally intense and evil magic began to fill the air. It was dense and thick, choking, and it was so intense that it virtually encased Magnolia and even Balsam within its grip. The aura escaping Hibiki was venomous and hellish, it was something so evil and so aggressive that no one would be able to connect it to him, although they would know that it was indeed his. As he knelt there with Myra In his arms, and a demonic aura seemingly encasing him, debris from Hargeon and the surrounding forest began to rise and twist about frantically in the air as the sky above began to cloud over and turn black in reaction to the intense power that was seeping from him. The clouds above even began to spin about in a circle frantically, rubbing together and booms of thunder began to make way.
​

 
​

But what happened next, was even more terrifying.
​

 
​

Placing Lyra down gently, he walkrd a few paces away from her as he stood there, gazing into nothing. All of the magical power in the air seemingly combusted at that moment as he screamed "DAMN YOU!" And a large purple light seemingly erupted from within him and encased him in it as he reverted into his Satan Soul State. His appearance changed considerably and as did  the aura of magic that exuded from him. It was hellish, and everything in between. Hibiki was in his Sitri State, one of his most destructive souls. Upon changing into this soul, Hibiki had completely lost himself in his anger, he saw red and nothing more. Demonic flames licked his being as he yelled again and released a large sonic boom, one far greater and more intense than that of Forneus. It was so intense, that it tore through the ground with ease, and even sent people flying on their feet. Raising a palm up towards the sky, A large ball of demonic dark magic melded with the demonic flames blasted up towards the sky, before exploding midair. The explosion was extremely large, and it's magical density so intense it could knock the wind out of you. From Fairy Tail, the sky virtually turned aflame with purple/black flames as the explosion seemingly tore a gigantic hole in the sky, smoke covering the sun and seemingly shrouding Fiore In the darkness of hell momentarily, all the while his magic only few intenser and intenser by the second. Small balls of demonic flame and energy began to rain from the sky and reduce whatever they touched into ash. The citizens from Magnolia and Balsam alike ran inside as gardens, trees, flowers, and other flora within the towns burned away into nothing. 
​

 
​

All the while, Hibiki returned to his wife as he regained all awareness, and reverted out of his Satan Soul before he created even more chaos. The screams of people virtualled pierced the air as a reaction to what he had just done, but he did not care. 
​

 
​

"I will get our girl back. That I promise you." He said, Lyra in his arms as he hugged her. Ferocity covering his face as he exuded a bloodthirsty aura. 
​

 
​

It was the apocalypse, and Grimoire Heart would not survive. 
​

While Hibiki before her didn't answer to him being a Guild Master, the blonde hair girl's green eyes blinked cutely as she watched him place his hands onto both the men who had spoken to him earlier. It reminded her greatly of when Hibiki used to do that to her, often after a huge training session. Maybe he really was a Guild Master now? Had so much really changed after all these years? While she had stayed, relatively the same, for the last 6 years? Kelica blinked as spotted a mirror like spell seemingly appear out of no where, showing an image of.. was that a town? Kelica had to pierce her lips slightly as her eyes narrowed, trying to place it... it looked familiar though she hadn't been there very often.

Feeling her heart clench in her chest, the short girl thrust her hands out suddenly like she believed she could reach out and touch Noah's very visual in the mirror, but all her hands did was pass straight through the spell and the image became blurred. Her breathing becoming slightly faster, she turned as if to talk to Hibiki beside her. That was when there was an immense surge of energy like she had never felt before in her life. Kelica had already half braced herself as a staff almost instantly materialized before the end slammed itself into the ground, the whole Earth shaking as roots coiled and burst up from all points surrounding the Guild Hall, twisting and turning like something out of Jack the Beanstalk and coming to a center point at the very tip of the roof to the Guild.  This extra Root shield groaned wearily as it weaved and threaded among itself, getting stronger before taking the blast of the Sonic Boom head on, leaving nothing but a small earth shake within the Guild and leaving most people with nothing but a strange shudder although every window was brown and darkened from being contained within.
​

 
​

It was only after the sonic boom had passed, did Kelica suddenly let the staff fall from her soft fingers, her eyes glazed over as the girl took a shaking step and crashed to her knees.
​

 
​

Silence...
​

 
​

There was no a single whisper and word and once she had realized that, the girl could almost feel her powers start to crumble and trickle away from her. The roots which had only recently burst began to fray and snap, gently peeling down before sinking back within the Earth like they were never there to begin with. Hibiki said a word and blasted away and in any other situation she would have run to follow and help. She glanced up to roof and the black lightning which cascaded around, but even then her vision was clouded. It was silent... there wasn't a single voice within her head anymore. And that's what terrified her the most. Like the Forest nearby hadn't been burned alive, merely it just simply DIDN'T EXIST anymore. In a matter of seconds.
​

 
​

Kelica took a deep breath in before she clutched at her head and let out an ear piercing scream even as tears pooled in the corners of her eyes.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall


During the three hours that had passed since the two Grimoire Heart mages had been brought in for questioning, Ryu hadn't moved much from where he'd been sitting three hours prior. He was still sprawled out on one of the many chairs in the Fairy Tail guild hall, only slightly paying attention to the things going on around him. He was snapped out of his daze when he heard Kelica's voice and he opened his eyes to see her standing next to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. A soft smile found its way onto his face and he put his arms around her to return her hug as she clung to him. When he felt like it had gone on long enough, he broke the embrace and set her back down, putting a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "It's nice to see you again too Kelica," he replied warmly as Kelica struggled to find the right words to express her emotions. "It has been quite a long time, hasn't it?" He simply smiled and nodded in response when Kelica stammered out that she was going to make herself some tea. He sat back down in his chair and relaxed again, his eyes drifting closed once more. There simply wasn't anything to do right now. The only thing currently happening was the interrogation of the Grimoire Heart members that Aria and the others were conducting, but that was something he that he had absolutely no interest in taking part in. He started to doze off again, half-sleeping as the minutes crawled by. Eventually, he started to lose interest in sleeping as well. He sat up in his chair and fished around in his pocket, pulling out a leather bound notebook and fountain pen. If he was going to waste time, he might as well spend it working on ideas for his next novel and be at least somewhat productive.
Ryu looked up from his notebook when he heard Cassandra enter the guild hall and address the guild, saying that she was an ally. He of course, already knew this, as the two saw each other fairly regularly, due to the fact that they were cousins. Cassandra had also taken over his former role as caregiver to Yui, his younger sister (although the young girl seemed to need a caregiver less and less these days) so he had seen Cassandra each time he made his monthly visit to his sister. He offered a quick wave in Cassandra's direction, opting not to steal her attention for more than a second since it seemed she had more important matters to deal with at the moment.
His concentration was thoroughly shattered as Hibiki suddlenly yelled out for everyone to take cover and an immense wave of magic innundated Magnolia. An enormous sonic boom followed up the magic wave, blasting out the windows of the guild hall and shaking it down to its very foundations. Ryu was immediately on his feet, assessing the damage and checking to make sure no one was injured. He watched as Hibiki suddenly left the guild hall, rushing away to who knows where. His head snapped in Kelica's direction as he heard her scream, and he dashed over to her side. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight but reassuring embrace, rubbing her back slowly in an effort to calm her down. "Shhhhh Keli," He whispered soothingly, continuing to hold her close. "Everything's going to be just fine"

((Fuck this lack of HTML support. KMN))

After that he heard the same voice yell again. This time a name, and it seemed be coming from Hibiki. Mitsuki watched as he literally bolted from the guild hall, then went back to doing nothing. His mood didn't improve as those around him only seemed to get more worried, scared, and other unpleasant moods. Mitsuki was preparing to head to bed, when he was overwhelmed with several strong feelings. One dark and aggressive, it shook Mitsuki to his core. He looked towards the source of the feeling, glad he was safe for the moment.


Then another feeling hit him, this one cold, empty, and much closer. Mitsuki stood up, and turned towards the source. It was Keli," how did I not notice she was here?" He asked himself, wondering why he didn't notice sooner. After all he was good friends with Keli, and usually he noticed right away when someone familiar was near. Perhaps he had been affected more by his parents, and Masaki's death than he knew. He quickly ran up to Keli, kneeling next to her, and Ryu who was now holding her. Mitsuki placed a hand on Ryu's shoulder, and gave him a concerned look."Please allow me." He said simply moving closer to Keli, and placing a hand on her forehead. He began to whisper incoherently, his eyes closed, and magical energy flowing from him to Keli. His voice spoke in her mind," don't worry Keli, everything is okay. I'm here for you, so are all the others, please calm down. You're not alone," Once he said calm down, a feeling of warmth, and calmness would begin to take over the cold empty feeling Keli was currently feeling. Mitsuki kept his hand on her, talking to her just Incase she needed more assistance.

​

Bastion had been silently waiting for the man with the mechanical arm to answer him; though he didn't seem to notice the blue haired man offering to repair the machine for the other man; though he was vaguely familiar to Bastion, the blunette couldn't place him exactly but all of that was forgotten in an instant, Hibiki's voice even reaching inside the infirmary where Timothy and Bastion were at. He had been caught off guard by the sudden violent shaking that shattered windows even though he had sensed Kelica's magic creating the barrier that saved most of the people inside from falling on their rears, including Bastion himself, the magic faded away quickly though and while for the moment he had been concerned it wasn't just enough to send him running for Kelica, instead his eyes trailed over the broken windows and outside his jaw dropping suddenly when he noticed the lack of forest, which had Bastion's feet carrying him to Kelica quickly although it turned into a full on sprint when he heard her scream. His eyes widened when he heard the sound and ran full speed to his Queen's side, where a strange red head...R-Ryu right? Was kneeling beside Kelica hugging her and trying to comfort her, there was another man too mumbling incoherently to Kelica; without thinking much a small explosion went off by his head and he snapped at the two coddling his queen. "What'd you two do to her!? I swear if you hurt her...!" Bastion's eyes blazed, his magically enchanted glass eye changing to the color of red, as a pulsing, throbbing red orb appeared in his hand, though unlike before it didn't explode without his say so. Okay so he wasn't the calmest person in the world, and he had a bad habit of jumping to conclusions, but all he really knew was Kelica screamed and he didn't know why and that made Bastion tense as hell.
​

 
​

He took a deep breath though and closed his hand on the quickly beating orb, it didn't explode thankfully but he now carefully knelt beside Kelica and  lightly took her hand, keeping hold of her while he lightly tapped her cheek, a large warm hand pressing against her cheek even while smiling oddly sweetly, "My Queen...what's wrong? What happened that made you scream? I'm worried..." He spoke softly lifting his free hand to lightly wipe the welling tears from the corners of her eyes, mostly ignoring the two who were also trying to help Kelica; though she didn't try and push either away from the quaking blonde. No he simply worked around them, his light blue hair falling in his face to hide the once blazing red eye; only his bright cerulean eye visible to Kelica while he didn't dare move too far away from her.

@Zareh@Kyuubey

Sera and Lunaria
​

Lunaria nodded slightly, "It can be...really it's just mostly fire and lightning that I have to watch out for entirely." She said...both magics being fairly common. In essence there was a chance the slime girl was screwed a good 80% of the time due to fire just being so common. She bet a number of mages in the guild hall knew fire magic and that alone was enough to partially freak her out. She smiled at her sympathies and shook her head, "It's been a few years..but thank you." She told her, sighing heavily. She still missed her parents very much but she usually didn't let it bring her down. After all, she was in a guild that was going to stop them. They'd be avenged soon enough. When Cassandra arrived she looked to her briefly and smiled at the mark, more help! Always a good thing.
​

 
​

She then turned to Ayano and tilted her head at her warning..she was going to reply by she was thrown off balance by the magic, she didn't deform..thankfully, but it did boggle her senses due to how strong it was. She made a small groan as she nearly fell over, gripping onto the shorter girl for support. She shook her head gently and sighed, "Oh don't worry. I'm not worried about you hurting me..." She assured her, albeit her words slightly slurred and herself speaking at a much slower pace than she had before. The magic scared her too, it felt familiar to her but she couldn't pinpoint what exactly. She did however know it was an evil presence. Sera herself wasn't entirely bothered by it, save for the rather massive headache it gave her already poor aching head. She grit her teeth and held her head in her hands, a slight groan escaping her lips. "Damn Grimoire Heart...could at-least be more quiet.." She muttered, figuring that it was them doing it. She had half a mind to rise from her seat and move to kick some ass...but decided against it when she stood and nearly vomited on the floor.
​

Hibiki soon left, gathering the attention of Lunaria and Sera both, Sera just shrugged and going back to drinking her coffee to cure her hangover, Lunaria however looked extremely worried. She sighed heavily and looked to Ayano, "What do you think happened..?" She asked. No sooner than she asked did she feel a much more obvious and familiar aura...Hibiki's. It was different than most times she witnessed his magic, more malevolent, more angry. Just what had happened? She looked out of the window as the sky darkened, her eyes growing wide as she witnessed it. The screams of the people worried her that he was actually hurting others, but surely the man she trusted the most wouldn't do that...right?
​

 
​

Soon after Kelica screamed, Sera having just gotten over the shock of Hibiki's display of magic doubled over in pain from the loud cry. Note to self...getting hung-over during a potential emotion provoking war was not a good idea. She had only seen Kelica this upset one time before, and this was the first time they met. She glanced over to her, watching as she was quickly comforted by everyone. Amidst the pain searing it's way through her skull she cracked a small smile, walked over, and joined the small huddle. Though she had to stand off to the side. "We're here for you Kelica...it'll be alright.." She told her in a reassuring tone...well as reassuring as one could be gripping onto a table for support. She doubted most of the people there knew about what happened...the guild had changed a lot over the last six years, those that knew were mostly gone. Alas, even knowing, there was nothing whatsoever that Sera could do to help her other than what everyone else was doing.
​

 
​

Lunaria herself wanted to help, but she wasn't sure how. She also didn't know any of the others so it would be awkward trying to do anything. Instead she just stood off to the side watching, waiting on any sort of opportunity to be of any use.
​

Spoiler

But after making it to the guild, and snapping the forest monsters neck [ after arguing with the beast to attack him to no avail for a few minutes] He entered the guild hall, a upset expression on his face, he plopped the body bag onto the ground, and called for the other Grimoire Heart members to lock him up. Then called for Master Lucien to inform him of his success." Oh Master Lucien! I've finished my mission! I captured the Priest alive!.....Well...i think he's alive...he's kind of old..also i kind of broke his face...also may have dropped him...alot." Rasil said awaiting Luciens response, Rasil approaching Luciens office, still frowning.

Lucian Grey
​

Lucian was, without a doubt, upset that both of his attack teams were failing. Especially with Mitsu leading one...ah well. The mages there were replaceable. Only a few were actually worth sending in the first place. Nevertheless he watched, glaring as Camille fled the scene...it seemed she had gotten overwhelmed. At-least she had the common sense to run. She was a valuable asset, so he didn't entirely mind the girl running off and living to fight another day. Soon enough Raven arrived with Keira in tow, a small smile forming on her face. "Ahh...I knew you wouldn't fail." He told her. "Excellent work.." He said, then looking to the child. "You'll be a very interesting way to bait your mother and father...most certainly." He told her. "I'm Lucian Grey, perhaps your parents told you about me..?"
​

 
​

About time he spoke to the child Rasil appeared carrying a beat up unconscious Grant. He chuckled a little as he spoke and looked down to the priest. "Have him patched up and moved to a cell. Notify me when he's awake, I can't have him die on me mid conversation.... I'll speak to him personally." He told him, waving his hand as a dismissal.

​

Approaching them, Masaki took his hands out of his pockets and laid them by his side. The wind began to pick up at that point due to the arrival of Kathy's pet and companion, her dragon. Unfazed and unmoved by its arrival, Masaki still retained his position and loomed over the Grimoire Heart mages whom of which began to plead for a mercy. At that point, his blood began to boil. "Mercy?", his tone become venomous and full of hate as his magical aura began to fill the air. However, others would find that it felt different to the boy's usual magic. It felt artificial and indeed hateful, potentially even evil. Masaki at this point was unaware of the magic seeping out of him, as his full attention went into staring out the enemy. "What mercy did you give me when you took my family away from me?" He clenched his fist, as the intensity of his aura increased furthermore. "What mercy did you give me when your kind tortured and beat me, experimented on me, and took away whatever honour and dignity I had?" His magical aura began to peak at this point, and his eyes began to glow vibrantly both yellow and red as the ground beneath him
​

began to shatter under the pressure of his magical presence. Rocks and debris slowly beginning to rise around him.
​

 
​

At that point, tears began to stream down the boy's face as a burst of magic seemingly occurred and a construct of jagged rock came forth from out of his back, and curled upwards in order to form a large formation of what seemed to be a dragons claw. Crimson crystals spiked from all over it and it's claws resembled spears. All over the creation was blood, his blood, but it wasn't excessive. And in that moment the creation slashed at the Grimoire Heart mages and impaled them, raising them upwards as their blood began to fall down and trickle down the claw resembling rock and crystal construct. Then the 'dragon claw' slashed left and launched each of the dead mages bodies into a nearby tree before it reverted back into Masaki, leaving a decently sized wound in his chest. His blood pouring out of it quickly as the debris surrounding him fell and the magical aura dissipated, Masaki then returned 'back to normal' 
​

 
​

Eyes widened in shock, Masaki began to realise just what exactly had happened and fell to his knees, ignoring the blood soaked into his clothing and the blood that trickled from the wound on his back. His mouth opened but no words came out, as it then began to tremble in fear, followed soon after by his hands as they reached up to his head and ran through his hair. Masaki knew that Grimoire Heart had done something to him, but he didn't know what, they never told him. But now it all became clear. They had mutated the ethernano inside of him and intensified it, melding himself with it in a way normal mages are not. And as a side effect, strange and grotesque meshes of his magic could sprout forth from his body spontaneously. In Masaki's eyes he was nothing more than a monster at this point, and this only made everything worse in his eyes.
​

 
​

"They've turned me into a monster..." He said, quietly, and then reclined his head into his hands as he hid himself, quietly sobbing excessively and continuing to ignore the wound on his back. 
​

 
​

To say Grimoire Heart had ruined him would be an understatement. And even now, Masaki still had to explain just what had happened to him during these past six years. No one knew that Grimoire Heart had imprisoned him, no one knew anything. He had to tell them, and this recent event opened a whole new can of worms to that. 
​

 
​

He was broken, and this wasn't the Masaki that Kathy, Miles, Tyson, and everyone else knew.

Camille Izunami
​

Camille hadn't actually ran to far from the group, hiding behind a nice sized boulder a ways out. She watched everything intently trying to figure out what to do. She definitely wasn't sure at all, she was sure she'd get killed like the rest of the group if she even got within view range of them. She didn't want to die but she had order...she was rather conflicted. She watched Masaki break down crying about Grimoire Heart, apparently taking his family from him? But...Grimoire Heart were the good guys, right? At-least that's what she was lead to believe to a degree. They had raised her, albeit against her will, but she didn't remember that part. She sighed shakily as they flew away and walked out from behind the rock, watching intently. Tossing her cloak aside she walked towards Crocus and eventually reached the edge, perhaps if she appeared less menacing she could infiltrate Sabertooth..she didn't think anyone knew her.
​

 
​

They may of saw the glowing on her chest but only if they were attentive enough. She walked towards the guild hall slowly, intent on learning everything she could from the members..especially Masaki. She was fully prepared to run again if it called for it.

​

 
​

Fairy Tail began to grow even more bustling by the minute. More mages began to flock within its halls like sheep and huddle amongst each other so as to get involved in the conversations happening in the centre between Fairy Heart and Fairy Tail alike. Hibiki had no way of anticipating just how well his mages would get along with his former comrades, family, and their sister guild. He was sure that even Arietta was pleased with this outcome, even if they both knew that the will of the Fairies was a powerful one, and that with love and kinship they could overcome anything. But.... just how true was this, and would such a sentiment be put to the test in the not too distant future? Such worries had been twisting and turning from within Hibiki's mind for quite some time now, and to be honest he didn't know why. 
​

 
​

As the male stood there, he averted his gaze towards both Darius and Dante when they approached him. His arms crossed over his chest and a smile formed on his face as he listened to both of them speak one after the other. Hibiki's brow furrowed whenthe two asked what the next move was and  to be quite honest he wasn't too sure himself. Word had got to him rather rapidly about the destruction of Era and the Magic Council, and his hatred for Grimoire Heart had only grown stronger because of it. Not only had they practically destroyed the Mage World, but they had killed his parents as well. It was a known fact that Hibiki didn't exactly like his parents due to their practically abandoning him when he was a child, however they were still blood and to Hibiki - family pride and honour was everything. Hibiki closed his eyes momentarily as he uncrossed his arms and rested a hand on Darius' and Dante' shoulders. "Listen." He said, "Before we make out next move we need to plan accordingly. I will not allow anyone to act off of their own accord  and I most certainly will not allow anyway to die for it. Besides, I need to stay out andwait for Lyra and Keira to arrive." With that, he released his hands from off of the two boys when suddenly Shiro's mirror appeared in front of him, and she too began to ask about the next move as well as request she aid Lamia Scale. It appeared that Lamia Scale was under attack by Grimoire Heart, which meant that the war was definitely going to start with earnest. "Do what you need to do, Shiro. Just remember to look after yourse-" 
​

 
​

"EVERYBODY TAKE COVER!"
​

 
​

BOOM!
​

 
​

An intense force of magic washed over Magnolia at that point. A large sonic boom shattered the very air in its thundering approach as it shattered the windows of the guild hall and even tipped some chairs over, and its sheer force was no doubt crushing to the majority. Hibiki looked around frantically to check if everybody was alright, his trench coat fluttering frantically as his eyes widened with a sudden realisation. He knew this magic, in fact he reacted to it in a way that no one else bar Abaddon would react in. As the name "Forneus!" escaped his mouth Hibiki instantly encased himself in a black lightning as he blasted through the walls and towards the origins of the blast. Black lightning crackled from within the Fairy Tail guild hall frantically as if it replicated Hibiki's own heart. And when he arrived, the site he saw was horrifying. The nearby port town of Hargeon had been completely destroyed, and the surrounding forest that once stood beautifully was now reduced to ash. And then there was his wife, his Lyra, laying in a pool of blood with next to no magic within her being. "Lyra!" He called, proceeding to run towards her and scoop her up into his arms so as to comfort her, "What an earth happened...? How did you lose control so extremely?". Forneus had done this, and something caused Lyra to lose control. He looked around rapidly as ash began to fall from the sky as a result of Forneus burning the entire forest. The ashfall was heavy and it blanketed the area, however, it was in that moment that something clicked. 
​

 
​

"Where's Keira?"
​

 
​

...
​

...
​

...
​

 
​

His eyes widened as he looked around, the scarring of a battle marked the area and Hibiki could sense the stray magics in the air. Grimoire Heart were behind this, and they had Keira. Hibiki was furious, no... he was outraged. His fists clenched together tightly as his face showed an expression of nothingness, his teeth grit and his eyes daggered as a phenomenally intense and evil magic began to fill the air. It was dense and thick, choking, and it was so intense that it virtually encased Magnolia and even Balsam within its grip. The aura escaping Hibiki was venomous and hellish, it was something so evil and so aggressive that no one would be able to connect it to him, although they would know that it was indeed his. As he knelt there with Myra In his arms, and a demonic aura seemingly encasing him, debris from Hargeon and the surrounding forest began to rise and twist about frantically in the air as the sky above began to cloud over and turn black in reaction to the intense power that was seeping from him. The clouds above even began to spin about in a circle frantically, rubbing together and booms of thunder began to make way.
​

 
​

But what happened next, was even more terrifying.
​

 
​

Placing Lyra down gently, he walkrd a few paces away from her as he stood there, gazing into nothing. All of the magical power in the air seemingly combusted at that moment as he screamed "DAMN YOU!" And a large purple light seemingly erupted from within him and encased him in it as he reverted into his Satan Soul State. His appearance changed considerably and as did  the aura of magic that exuded from him. It was hellish, and everything in between. Hibiki was in his Sitri State, one of his most destructive souls. Upon changing into this soul, Hibiki had completely lost himself in his anger, he saw red and nothing more. Demonic flames licked his being as he yelled again and released a large sonic boom, one far greater and more intense than that of Forneus. It was so intense, that it tore through the ground with ease, and even sent people flying on their feet. Raising a palm up towards the sky, A large ball of demonic dark magic melded with the demonic flames blasted up towards the sky, before exploding midair. The explosion was extremely large, and it's magical density so intense it could knock the wind out of you. From Fairy Tail, the sky virtually turned aflame with purple/black flames as the explosion seemingly tore a gigantic hole in the sky, smoke covering the sun and seemingly shrouding Fiore In the darkness of hell momentarily, all the while his magic only few intenser and intenser by the second. Small balls of demonic flame and energy began to rain from the sky and reduce whatever they touched into ash. The citizens from Magnolia and Balsam alike ran inside as gardens, trees, flowers, and other flora within the towns burned away into nothing. 
​

 
​

All the while, Hibiki returned to his wife as he regained all awareness, and reverted out of his Satan Soul before he created even more chaos. The screams of people virtualled pierced the air as a reaction to what he had just done, but he did not care. 
​

 
​

"I will get our girl back. That I promise you." He said, Lyra in his arms as he hugged her. Ferocity covering his face as he exuded a bloodthirsty aura. 
​

 
​

It was the apocalypse, and Grimoire Heart would not survive. 
​

​

With anger still lingering within him, Dante' listened to his Master's words. It was expected that Hibiki wouldn't want anyone acting to rash in this situation. He cared a lot about his friends and family within Fairy Tale and Fairy Heart. Dante' nodded his head as he finished. Alright Master, I'll be outside if you need me. Dante' said as he started to walk towards the guild door. He reached out towards the door but stopped once he felt a surge of energy. His hand then turned into a fist. His head turned towards Hibiki just as he yelled for everyone to take cover. Though Dante' didn't react quick enough and the sonic boom hit. Dante' was right in front of the door, if it wasn't for Kelica's quick thinking, Dante' would've been launched through the wall. As the sonic boom hit, the guild hall rumbled and shook as if there was an earthquake. Dante' held onto the door until it passed. Once it did, he looked around to make sure everyone was okay. He looks at Kelica, as she collapses to her knees. In Dante's eyes she seemed fairly week. Before he could act, Hibiki bolted out of the hall, covered in black lightning. Whatever that power surge was, hibiki knew actually what it was. Dante' looks over at Darius and calls out to him. Darius!! Lets go! Without waiting for a confirmation, Dante' was covered in black anf gold solar energy then bolted out the guild hall falling his master. 


Dante' arrived just after Hibiki did and was speechless as he stared at the horrifying sight in front of him. The town of Hargeon was completely destroyed, and the forest that once stood tall and beautiful was now reduced to nothing but ash. What happened?? Dante' asked staring at the destruction in front of him. He snapped back into reality when he heard Hibiki calling the name of his wife, Lyra. Dante' looked in the direction of them and ran towards them. He slid to his knees next to Hibiki and Lyra. She was covered in blood, which worried Dante' a lot. Is...is she alright?? Dante' asked, not expecting a quick response from Hibiki. Instead of answering Dante', Hibiki instead asked another question, a very important one. Where is Keira? Dante's eyes widen as he came to realization that she wasn't around. He stood up looking around frantically looking for any signs of her, but sadly there wasn't. While looking Dante' senses residual dark magic around. As he began to piece things together he realized that Grimoire Heart was behind this. They attacked Lyra and have taken Keira. Dante's hands slowly began to ball into fist as his insides started to boil. 


Dante's own rage was soon overcame by that of Hibiki's. He erupted in purple light with his power rising drastically. He transformed into his powerful Satan Soul, Sitri. Dante' walked away from Hibiki as he realized that Hibiki, was overcome with rage. He watched as Hibiki stepped from Lyra in his hellish state. Hibiki yelled again releasing another sonic boom but far much worse than the one before. Dante' inhaled deeply through his nose as he adsorbed the solar energy around him. He placed his hands in front of him as he activated one of his defensive spells, Solar God's Sun Shield. A oval shaped shield of Solar energy appeared in front of Dante', and began to expand in a wide fashion. The purpose of this was to protect the people from the boom and the debris that was sent their way. As Dante' was holding up the shield he saw a demonic blast being launched into the sky. Master...  Dante' said as the explosion went off shrouding him in Darkness. Dante' dropped his arms exhaustively, causing the shield to drop. It took a lot out of Dante' to hold the shield up against the sonic boom and debris caused by the rage of Hibiki. He looked around as the ground was destroyed and people home windows were shattered. He heard countless screams, as people ran passed him and into their homes. 


Dante' walked towards Hibiki as he changed out of Satan Soul. He could feel the blood lust coming off of Hibiki. He heard him speaking to Lyra, and he placed a hand on his shoulder. I'm coming too, Master. Dante' said with a stern look in his eye. He knew first hand what Grimoire Heart is capable of when they torture and he didn't want Keira to go through any of that. He didn't want what happened to him to happened to someone so close to him. Grimoire Heart will burn because of this. They will be turned to nothing but ash. We will get Keira back. @LeSoraAmari @Jackaboi

The Shadow Mage, Prince of Darkness walked about his cell as he had hundreds times before, counting his long legged steps from end to end. 10 paces by 10paces. His fingers touched the roof if he stretched up his hands as high as it would go. His eyes almost constantly held a half squint, because this place was very BRIGHT. It was a glass box suspended above a huge white shaft, and all the equipment inside was illuminated with neon lights. Even his bed, his toilet and some railings along the roof glowed. He glanced up to the poles stretched along the roof and idly peeled his, also white singlet, off his frame as he grasped the pole and reached up to do a chin up or a 100. It wasn't like he was going anywhere and being cooped up in a box with literally himself made 6 years seem like a thousand. There was no way to tell time in here, no clocks and no windows to even see the rise and fall of the sun. As his muscles began to burn and sweat was pooling over his frame, he glanced over as he heard the familiar voices of his Guards.
​

 
​

Which two would he see today?
​

 
​

Every 20mins they would walk past (he knew because Valken knew he could hold his breath for 5minutes at a time now, and counted how many breaths he could hold before they would return). He let himself dangle then on one arm, his purple eyes remained closed except for one which snaked open and peered over at them. He hoped it the was blonde girl with the nice chest... She reminded him of another girl he almost pained to see, and while she wasn't anywhere near as pretty as she was, the Guard was at least someone to stare at for a time that wasn't just a neon light or a bed frame. Low and behold it was no pretty girl, but rather two much younger and clearly newer recruits. Valken chuckled as he lifted up his legs and slipped them around the pole, dangling upside down and crossing his arms, letting his slightly shaggier hair dangle around his face and eyes as he peered through the glass wall to them with a wide grin working onto his face. The youngest one, though clearly not by much, stormed on over and rapped heavily onto the glass. "HEY HEY, CRIM! You hear me! I think it's a bit dark, maybe we should turn the lights up brighter!!! Hahahah!!" His mate slapping the first Guard on the shoulder before joining in. "What a complete disappointment this guy is.... can you believe he gets the highest guarded Cell in all of Era? I mean look at him! He couldn't hurt a fly! He's probably forgotten how to even use his powers after all this time... and this, this the son of the great Maya Morne? The Illusionist Queen! What a JOKE!" Both falling into laughter it threatened to send both falling backwards.
​

 
​

Valken's grin continued to stay on his face, though his eyes narrowed only a fraction. Ahhh Maya.. that name rung a bell and it was not the first time he had heard it either. It was a known thing, everyone knew that she was his mother and yet, in all the commotion Valken had never heard her say those little words to him. Oh it seemed the whole world knew about it, and flaunted it in his face, except for him. He almost didn't believe it, like a rumor spread only to see him hurt more... It couldn't be REAL after all, could it? Yeah she had keep an eye on him and kept him out of trouble, but she did that with EVERYONE! He failed to see after he's now almost 30, she would never once sit down and tell her something that important. So he had a bitter confusion and as with most things with Valken, he hated being confused with information he couldn't seem to grasp... Furthermore, if she really WERE his Mother, then why had she not tried to release him after all this time?
​

 
​

The name aside, Valken slowly swung a leg out from the pole and used the momentum of falling to spin and land right side up but faced away from the Guards. He slowly turned and walked up to him, uncrossing his arms and while they were busy he slammed his hands right before them on the glass, snapping their attention and making the men cry out suddenly and cling to one another. Valken watched their horrified reaction and his grin only grew wider and more sickening as he stared to them both, his purple eyes starting to glow and almost swirl with red as he peered to them. "No Cell can contain me. No prison can contain me. No pitiful Guards such as you can restrain me. I could have left years ago, but I didn't... Why? I have been beaten, subjected to zero sleep, and teased at, constantly, for years... Why would I let that happen mmm?" Letting his fingers curl up and scrap along the glass in an eerie fashion while he straightened to his full height. By this point the Guards were almost curled down. "You would think I might have forgotten how to use my powers but... Magic works in mysterious ways. The Human race learns to persevere even in the most trying of circumstances... Maya had illusion magic, correct? Why don't I show you a little something I've been working on.." That grin spreading so wide across his face it looked like his head might have split in two. His eyes locking with one man. "Come inside and I'll show you-"
​

 
​

​

 
​

Of course it was in that moment there was a huge shudder rock the facility and in the blink of an eye what was once there simply did not EXIST anymore. The second the explosion hit, the shock wave destroyed the glass cage and send the guards flying, Valken used his reflexes and rolled away from the tumbling glass cage and ran full tilt right into the closest wall, into the Shadow Realm... into his home. Almost the second his whole body got enveloped, Valken felt the cold and tight embrace of his Shadow Realm, one he had not felt in so long. The feeling most were terrified of, the claustrophobic sensation of being tightened and enclosed in while unable to breath... Valken had a sense of euphoria he hadn't felt in so long.. even stronger having been parted for so long.. His hands reaching out into the darkness. He almost had that momentary thought, he should stay here, forever. In the dark, cold, lifeless void, floating in the Shadows tight embrace but... but he had things to do.... He still had things to learn, and figure out, Questions that needed answers.... 
​

 
​

Slowly Valken ripped himself from his hold in the shadows and slipped out of the ground at the bottom of the now empty crater that was Era. He felt the residual energies of both Maya (oddly, ironically, she had been here after the explosion but hadn't found him? Sensed him?... Saved him? The lingering feeling of dark magic, Grimoire heart magic... and.. Hibiki to? Ahh so it was Grimoire Heart who had destroyed the building and released him. Grimoire... and Lucian...
​

 
​

Lucian Grey...
​

 
​

That name, sent his fists to clench. He wanted to find him.. talk to him. Talk... kill? No. Maybe?... No definitely talk. But.. before that...he needed something. He glanced to his hips, his pants, and patted his pockets. He couldn't do anything, not without the daggers he had grown up with his entire life. He needed his daggers... which meant going to Lamia Scale. And Maya... maybe he could avoid Maya? Yes do that. Avoid her, and get his daggers. Avoid everyone and get his daggers and leave. That was a good plan. He turned on the spot, surveying the crater that held his prison cell for 6 years before the Prince of Darkness fell backwards and seeped into the Shadows his own body made against the sun. Disappearing into a puff of smoke.
​

 
​

------
​

 
​

It had been some hours, Valken finally arrived at the edge of Margaret town. As he walked through town it seemed a mass attack had swept through and once again, he felt the residual strength of Maya leaving craters and God knows what. Valken had to roll his eyes. Was that woman everywhere? It seemed everywhere he went she was just THERE even when he had been a child. And yet, while in prison, she hadn't visited once? Valken had a distasteful sensation in his mouth. He was becoming increasingly confused and more Bitter towards the woman as he continued to walk, mostly just sidestepping any confrontation he came across. Although he did stop as he spotted a clothing store and grinned as he slipped inside, stealing a rather nice looking long red cloak, which he slipped on and red glasses. With them both on, he slipped straight back out without paying a jewel. It's not like he had any possessions on him anyway to pay.
​

 
​

​

 
​

The Shadow Mage continued on his path towards the Lamia Scale Guild Hall, glancing up towards some Rooftops nearby and sensing a few energies he recognized. Noah... interesting he was here, though he seemed to always like hanging around Lamia Scale. Ferra... except her power had far increased from what he had remembered... and two other's he didn't recognize. He thought for a moment intervening but getting involved in some squabble was the least of his concerned... What he really wanted was his daggers. Those poor saps could wait. As he stood before the Guild Hall he noticed a bright blinding light covering the place like a Shield, instantly his whole posture tensed. He didn't much react well to Light or Godly magic after all, but tentatively he reached out a hand to touch the white substance which rippled for a moment then simply let him meld on through, not unlike his Shadow Magic. He let out a breath he didn't realise he was holding and stepped inside a Guild he hadn't been in for 6 odd years.
​

 
​

Literally nothing had changed at all, yeah it was slightly more beat up then he expected but overall it looked exactly the same. He glanced around the room quickly but as fast as he had walked in, he slipped into the shadows against the floor and ran along the corners of the walls, taking in the room and all the people within. He cared little for all of them, he knew the one person he had to find to gather his daggers. And as much as he tried to stay impassive, Valken really didn't know how he would react to seeing the love of his life, the woman he had fallen in love with as a teenager. He slipped out of the shadows at a cross road intersection and rounded the corner, spotting Millie almost instantly as she was walking away and trying to head downstairs. His long legs came up behind her in a fast but silent pace, a hand snapped out and grasped at her arm to spin her back around to face him. He'd thought about this moment for a very long time while away. How he would react, what he would say to her if he saw her again. What he would do, and her own reaction. And yet, after all his times thinking about this moment, Valken merely stared at her speechless before one words escaped his lips.
​

 
​

"Millie..." Letting the name roll of his tongue even as his heart beat faster.
​

 
​

This wasn't part of the plan... the plan was to find Millie, get her to take him to his daggers, and leave. That was his plan and yet.
​

 
​

"I missed you..." He said softly even as he peeled his glassed from his face and tucked them in his pocket, to see her with both his dark purple eyes. He stepped closer then, suddenly, letting his other hand run up her arm and cup the side of her face, bringing her face up and even closer to his. "Please I-" He should have asked, if she wanted it or not, but he didn't. His body took over and he leaned down to press his lips against her own, even as his arms slipped around her tightly and held her to him. He just wanted to feel her and kiss her one more time, like he had so long again.

Lily Ann's head tilted to the side as she watched Aleria lift the hall on wings of white, keeping it up long enough for the others to escape; Lily Ann was only a little mad about this and had trained her left hand at Aleria about to zap her from the sky when low and behold, traitor number one came out of the hall carrying traitor number two and the cute girl who had 'saved' Lily Ann previously. There was a deep sense of guilt and some shame though when she saw Yamato a deep frown marring her pretty features, she had suffered and if she could make him feel a fraction of her pain she would do it, he would suffer. That sense of betrayal made words spill from her mouth, words s that proved how unstable she was emotionally right then. "Yamato...you know...I don't know how to talk to or handle you...right now...but ah...did you know? The first year I was with Grimoire Heart I fought with all I had to keep from staring into the abyss for too long, but of course there's not much you can do, when you stare into the abyss eventually the abyss stares back into you...I did something awful and that next year...every day for 365 days....I tried to call you, to contact you. I wanted to come home, I'd fallen so deep I couldn't drag myself out alone, I needed help and I don't admit that often...but you never answered...so I became trapped. I prayed you know, wanted you to not forget me, sadly when I like someone I'm not the best at handling it, though I'd planned to ask you out six years ago at the Grand Magic Games...but then all that happened and you moved on forgetting me...after everything I'd done...everything I was doing to try and protect this Guild and the people in it. After everything I did for this place I still...got hurt by the people I cared about most!" With that she stomped her foot, childish as the gesture was she didn't care, the ground shook around her and lightning of black split the sky wide open.
​

 
​

Her hair; normally green with yellow sparkles went half green half yellow, mud dripped down the entirety of her right side, while black lighting arced off her left, reminding someone of a mudslide in a heavy rainstorm where lightning was going wild. She even clasped her hands together and as she did that earthen bombs rose from the ground surrounding her, and they were filled with lightning. "Please get out of my way Yamato...you're the one person I don't want to hurt..." Even if everyone else is free game... She thought idly as she stared up at Yamato with glassy eyes full of unshed tears; she didn't like the thought of fighting him of all people, but not wanting to and being willing to were entirely different things, if she had to, she would fight...maybe not with all her wicked power but...she would do what she could. By the gods she was unstable though, right then, maybe from now until forever she might never be okay again...but she found she cared less and less about that chance.

Yamato heard Alara's guilt fueled words. She was blaming herself for this whole thing happening. However that is far from the truth... This was actually all Yama's fault that Lily has become like this. "Alara... None of this is your fault. Had I stopped her six years ago this wouldn't have happened..." What yama was saying would probably confuse anyone listening. It'd only make sense, it was only him and Kazuo who knew what truly happened to Celestia and Kaz was out cold. When Lily looked right back at Yamato he could instantly see the guild deep within her eyes. Seeing those eyes made him think about all the things Grimoire Heart probably made Lily do. Those thoughts made him frurious... Not only with that accursed dark guild but also himself for letting her go through with such a suicidal mission. Then Lily spoke... Further increasing his own guilt... The lacrima she spoke of ended up getting lost. So she really did try to call for help... But Yama wasn't there to answer her plea and as a result things have ended up like this. Everything that Lily said, from her wanting to ask him out back in the Grand Magic Games to forgetting about her. If there was one thing Yama knew for certain. That last claim was not true. When Lily stomped the ground black lightning shot up to the sky, Yama could feel even her own magic has been corrupted. Her hair changed to a mix of yellow and green with one side producing lightning while the other had mud. Rocks in the shape of bombs arcing with lightning surrounded her.
​

 
​

Lily looked like she was planning to attack. Despite saying she doesn't want to. Yamato didn't want to fight either... In fact he even held some kind of hope that Lily could still be saved. Yamato sligtlyy turned his head to look at Kami who seems to have made it out safely. "Kami... Let me deal with this. You make sure Kazuo and your sister stays out of harms way." He said with a tone of seriousness before lowering the bubbles that held Alara and Kazuo and popping them. Then Yamato grabbed the hilt of his sword and pulled it out of it's sheath before pointing directly at Lily, soemwhat looking like Yama planned on fighting too. However instead he then held the sword at his side before dropping it on the ground. "Lily! I am truly sorry for everything that has happened to you! No one in this guild devserves the blame more than me. Alara doesn't even deserve the blame for what's happened to the hall. She just wanted to help someone in need. So... Since I hold all responsibilty for your suffering I ask that you leave Blue Pegasus out of this and place your anger on me. I was the one who ended up losing the lacrima you gave me. I never even tried to stop you when you went undercover in Grimoire Heart. Because of this I was never there to help you escape from that dark abyss."
​

 
​

Yamato was almost breathless while he was making his speech. However he was far from done. Yama knelt down on the ground and bowed his head in an apologetic manner. "In other words I cannot bring myself to fight you. No matter how much your heart has darkened or how many lives you've taken you are still our family... And I, Yamato Vandaley Kotobuki, will never raise a sword against my own family! You say that I have forgotten about you but that is not true. I have never forgotten about you. Even after losing that lacrima I still searched for you for six years so I could bring you home. However... I have failed you. So there is no one who deserves punishment except from me. Although I want you to remember one thing... It's not too late to turn back. I still see the kind girl I remember deep within you. Afterall you still bear our mark do you not?" Yamato stood up again and reached into his coat to pull out Lily's book and walked towards her. He wasn't even scared of the lightning infused bombs that floated around her. He walked until he was within arms reach and held the book out to her, gesturing her to take it back. "So please... Come back home..." Yamato waited for her response. He immensly hoped his words reached through to her but if not... Then... he did say he deserves whatevers coming.

Darius listened to Hibiki's words as he spoke to the slayer duo. As far as he was concerned Hibiki planned to remain in the hall until Lyra and Keira arrived, which of course is a very valid thing to do. Meanwhile Ricky ended up catching the gaze of an eagle sitting on Kelica's shoulder. The bird stared at him menacingly but Ricky stared back, refusing to back down. It wasn't long before a mirror appeared revealing Shiro in Margaret Town. The problem was that the place was under attack by Grimoire Heart and not long after that a random burst of energy rushed through the hall. Knockin down tables and chairs. "Woah! What the hell!?" As if matters couldn't get worse a white flying cat just flew in and kidnapped Ricky! The cat was pretty much airborne once again. Darius looked around trying to make sense of the carnage. Soon enough Hibiki literally bolted off by himself. Dante called for Darius to follow but he couldn't just leave Ricky to be kidnapped. Darius dashed outside to see the white cat from before heading in a specific direction. "Dante! I'll catch up with you later!" Then Darius jumped onto the nearest carraige. "Oi driver! Follow that flying cat!" "Huh? why?" "I got money. JUST GO!" With that Darius set off towards the direction of Margaret Town. "Don't worry Rick... I'm co... Oh no..." Of course... Darius always forgets he's not good with transportation... Darius laid in the back of the carraige looking absolutely terrible. Over on Ricky's side he was being carried by the white cat who randomly grabbed him. Or rather this must be an exceed. Just like him. Ricky actually wanted to talk with her but they soon arrived at Margaret Town and Sora tackled them out the air. They fell all the way down into the Lamia Scale guild hall with the landing being more gentle than Ricky expected. Then again Sora was a dragon slayer that could fly on her own. Speaking of which she looked to be confused about why ricky was here. However Ricky just simply waved with his paw. Looking around the hall it seemed to be a complete mess with the attacks. he even noticed a really scary looking woman too. (Maya) Maybe someone he wouldn't want to mess with.

Contrary to popular belief Dorian had not been killed during his and Rosa's fight with the red-haired man, instead sustaining heavy injuries. He had, before she unleashed a torrent of electricity, managed to tunnel himself underground and transmute himself some bandages. He fell unconscious after that and was subsequently discovered by some people who came to investigate the scene following the battle. It was honestly a stroke of luck that someone noticed the air shaft he had made and thought to dig him up since he more than likely would have died if it weren't for the medical attention they gave him. Dorian spent the next while in his saviors' village as he recovered, the thought that he hadn't been able to help Rosa in that fight echoing endlessly though his mind during the time that he was confined to his bed. As he slowly regained his mobility he started to help around the village as much as he could, both to regain his strength and to try to repay the villagers for saving him. He might be lazy, but he was at least capable of showing gratitude. From this, and as his recovery progressed, he moved on to physical training and developing his magic, his regrets concerning the fight spurring him to truly try to get stronger for what was probably the first time in his life. For months he worked tirelessly to improve himself, so much so that no one who knew him would believe that it was him. His efforts bore fruit and, once he was recovered sufficiently, he bid the villagers goodbye and set off to make the long trek back to her, the only person that it could be said that he really cared about. It had already been many months since that fight and he was anxious to see her again, to tell her that he was alive as she surely thought him dead.


By the time that Dorian made it back to Baslma Village, ten months had passed all in all. However, in contrast to his mostly uneventful journey, all was not well in the village and he could hear the sounds of combat emanating from the direction of the guild hall. Throwing his pack to the side and incasing it in stone, Dorian began to rush towards the battle, unslinging his bow from his back in preparation for use. It was not long after that that he found what, or rather who, he was looking for. The first thing that struck him was that her hair was short now. The second was that she was bloodied and injured. The third was that she was fighting the same red-haired man as ten months ago. Immediately a bitter rage sprang up within him, not for his sake, but rather hers. Dorian could not forgive anyone who hurt her as this man had. As he continued to make his way towards them he saw Rosa shock the man with her whip sword before he opened fire on her with a gun hidden within an umbrella. He wasted no time in raising his bow and loosing a volley of arrows, his hand moving at a blistering pace between the quiver on his belt and his bowstring, while still approaching the two. Then, as the arrows sped towards their target he transmuted a knife in his right hand and leapt at the man who had nearly killed him, stabbing him viciously and repeatedly in the neck. Or well, he would have done that last part had he not been forced to abort his charge by the rain of lightning Rosa summoned in a bid to kill her foe. As such he was forced to wait for the electric storm to subside to both attack the man who hurt Rosa and to go to Rosa herself, and as patient a man as Dorian was, this wait was agony.

​

After Takeo had fired the bullets from his umbrella he saw them just stop in middair due to Rosaline's magic. Rosa's smirk of confidence clealy stated that an attack like that was pointless. "Well it doesn't hurt to try at least." He said while nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders. Takeo started to feel a strong force trying to rip the umbrella from Takeo's hand. He managed to hold on while ever so slightly being dragged a few inches. However looking back at Rosa she seems to have dropped her own weapon. She seemed to be hinting at something. It wasn't hard to figure out tho. When he did Takeo just chuckled. "I see! I knew I liked you from the start!" The magnetism pulling on his umbrella suddenly stopped but Takeo already got the message. He himself tossed the weapon up in the air and came falling back down with the tip getting stuck in the ground so it stood up right. "I trust you won't be trying any sleazy tricks with this bold action~" he said before taking a stance. Takeo's left arm was completely out of action for the moment but he wasn't about to let that affect him. Takeo focused most of his magic into his legs so they may be used for attacking instead. Usually at this point he'd be using every limb available but with the current circumstances that wasn't going to happen.
​

 
​

Rosa's lightning struck the area around them, sending the cowardly citizens to run to safety. But he didn't care about them anymore, his main priority was the Blue Pegasus mage that stood before him. She was certainly powerful not only on physical terms but also on magic too. Perhaps she's more of a match for him... He may not be able to beat her without using... "that..." Perhaps it will even be "that" he will use... "No matter how powerful my opponent is... I will stand on top..." However... The faint sound of an object whizzing through the air reached his ears causing his head to twitch back as an arrow raced past his face. Takeo immediatly jumped back to avoid the rest of the volley, nearly hitting a lightning strike in the process. Takeo's angry eyes darted round to the source wanting to see who's stupid enough to interrupt his fight. Then low and behold. The very man whom Takeo believed he had killed, stood before him with a knife in hand, waiting for the storm to subside. The smile Takeo once held was wiped off his face, replaced with something more of a bitter look upon the sight of an unfinished job.
​

 
​

"Oi... Bastard... Why aren't you dead?" Takeo started twitching a little, despite his looks, anger hits this guy hard. Takeo stared both Rosa and Dorian down as the air started to fill with extreme tension. Takeo was about to take a gamble here, he has accepted he stands no chance in this scenario, at least not as the way he is right now. "You have made a mistake showing yourself Dorian..." He muttered as magic flodded Takeo's entire body, strengthing him to limits beyond human capapbility. However because of this his body can't keep up and as a result blood started to pour from his eyes and his smile... His smile just stretched across his face. Takeo was activating his Beast Within ability. However... Images of his brother Ryu popped into his head and imediately canceled his spell. "No... I will not waste my life on you two..." This spell put Takeo at the highest risk of killing himelf from the inside. He's going to save it for the one reason he still lives on. Instead Takeo stood up straight with a completely serious face. The killers eyes darted to Dorian as he stompted the ground, creating a shckwave to knock both his opponents off balance and instantly charged straight towards Dorian, front flipping over him and kicking him as hard as Takeo could, send him flying towards Rosa. "I'll make you regret crawling out of your grave..."

​

Fairy Tail began to grow even more bustling by the minute. More mages began to flock within its halls like sheep and huddle amongst each other so as to get involved in the conversations happening in the centre between Fairy Heart and Fairy Tail alike. Hibiki had no way of anticipating just how well his mages would get along with his former comrades, family, and their sister guild. He was sure that even Arietta was pleased with this outcome, even if they both knew that the will of the Fairies was a powerful one, and that with love and kinship they could overcome anything. But.... just how true was this, and would such a sentiment be put to the test in the not too distant future? Such worries had been twisting and turning from within Hibiki's mind for quite some time now, and to be honest he didn't know why. 
​

 
​

As the male stood there, he averted his gaze towards both Darius and Dante when they approached him. His arms crossed over his chest and a smile formed on his face as he listened to both of them speak one after the other. Hibiki's brow furrowed whenthe two asked what the next move was and  to be quite honest he wasn't too sure himself. Word had got to him rather rapidly about the destruction of Era and the Magic Council, and his hatred for Grimoire Heart had only grown stronger because of it. Not only had they practically destroyed the Mage World, but they had killed his parents as well. It was a known fact that Hibiki didn't exactly like his parents due to their practically abandoning him when he was a child, however they were still blood and to Hibiki - family pride and honour was everything. Hibiki closed his eyes momentarily as he uncrossed his arms and rested a hand on Darius' and Dante' shoulders. "Listen." He said, "Before we make out next move we need to plan accordingly. I will not allow anyone to act off of their own accord  and I most certainly will not allow anyway to die for it. Besides, I need to stay out andwait for Lyra and Keira to arrive." With that, he released his hands from off of the two boys when suddenly Shiro's mirror appeared in front of him, and she too began to ask about the next move as well as request she aid Lamia Scale. It appeared that Lamia Scale was under attack by Grimoire Heart, which meant that the war was definitely going to start with earnest. "Do what you need to do, Shiro. Just remember to look after yourse-" 
​

 
​

"EVERYBODY TAKE COVER!"
​

 
​

BOOM!
​

 
​

An intense force of magic washed over Magnolia at that point. A large sonic boom shattered the very air in its thundering approach as it shattered the windows of the guild hall and even tipped some chairs over, and its sheer force was no doubt crushing to the majority. Hibiki looked around frantically to check if everybody was alright, his trench coat fluttering frantically as his eyes widened with a sudden realisation. He knew this magic, in fact he reacted to it in a way that no one else bar Abaddon would react in. As the name "Forneus!" escaped his mouth Hibiki instantly encased himself in a black lightning as he blasted through the walls and towards the origins of the blast. Black lightning crackled from within the Fairy Tail guild hall frantically as if it replicated Hibiki's own heart. And when he arrived, the site he saw was horrifying. The nearby port town of Hargeon had been completely destroyed, and the surrounding forest that once stood beautifully was now reduced to ash. And then there was his wife, his Lyra, laying in a pool of blood with next to no magic within her being. "Lyra!" He called, proceeding to run towards her and scoop her up into his arms so as to comfort her, "What an earth happened...? How did you lose control so extremely?". Forneus had done this, and something caused Lyra to lose control. He looked around rapidly as ash began to fall from the sky as a result of Forneus burning the entire forest. The ashfall was heavy and it blanketed the area, however, it was in that moment that something clicked.

His eyes widened as he looked around, the scarring of a battle marked the area and Hibiki could sense the stray magics in the air. Grimoire Heart were behind this, and they had Keira. Hibiki was furious, no... he was outraged. His fists clenched together tightly as his face showed an expression of nothingness, his teeth grit and his eyes daggered as a phenomenally intense and evil magic began to fill the air. It was dense and thick, choking, and it was so intense that it virtually encased Magnolia and even Balsam within its grip. The aura escaping Hibiki was venomous and hellish, it was something so evil and so aggressive that no one would be able to connect it to him, although they would know that it was indeed his. As he knelt there with Myra In his arms, and a demonic aura seemingly encasing him, debris from Hargeon and the surrounding forest began to rise and twist about frantically in the air as the sky above began to cloud over and turn black in reaction to the intense power that was seeping from him. The clouds above even began to spin about in a circle frantically, rubbing together and booms of thunder began to make way.
​

 
​

But what happened next, was even more terrifying.
​

 
​

Placing Lyra down gently, he walkrd a few paces away from her as he stood there, gazing into nothing. All of the magical power in the air seemingly combusted at that moment as he screamed "DAMN YOU!" And a large purple light seemingly erupted from within him and encased him in it as he reverted into his Satan Soul State. His appearance changed considerably and as did  the aura of magic that exuded from him. It was hellish, and everything in between. Hibiki was in his Sitri State, one of his most destructive souls. Upon changing into this soul, Hibiki had completely lost himself in his anger, he saw red and nothing more. Demonic flames licked his being as he yelled again and released a large sonic boom, one far greater and more intense than that of Forneus. It was so intense, that it tore through the ground with ease, and even sent people flying on their feet. Raising a palm up towards the sky, A large ball of demonic dark magic melded with the demonic flames blasted up towards the sky, before exploding midair. The explosion was extremely large, and it's magical density so intense it could knock the wind out of you. From Fairy Tail, the sky virtually turned aflame with purple/black flames as the explosion seemingly tore a gigantic hole in the sky, smoke covering the sun and seemingly shrouding Fiore In the darkness of hell momentarily, all the while his magic only few intenser and intenser by the second. Small balls of demonic flame and energy began to rain from the sky and reduce whatever they touched into ash. The citizens from Magnolia and Balsam alike ran inside as gardens, trees, flowers, and other flora within the towns burned away into nothing. 
​

 
​

All the while, Hibiki returned to his wife as he regained all awareness, and reverted out of his Satan Soul before he created even more chaos. The screams of people virtualled pierced the air as a reaction to what he had just done, but he did not care. 
​

 
​

"I will get our girl back. That I promise you." He said, Lyra in his arms as he hugged her. Ferocity covering his face as he exuded a bloodthirsty aura. 
​

 
​

It was the apocalypse, and Grimoire Heart would not survive. 
​

​

Rosaline Dreyar
​

Baslam Village
​

 
​

As the fight progressed Rosaline found herself only getting more and more angry as Takeo seemed to look more and more happy. It was driving her half way mental, that stupid smile only seemed to spread wider across his face, even when things didn't seem to go his way. In fact, he seemed to get more excited ESPECIALLY when things didn't go his way. The bullets becoming useless, he seemed to understand she wanted to end this quickly and threw his umbrella away. "I would like to say the same to you, Grimoire Heart filth. It wouldn't go against your Guild to use a hostage to gain an advantage." She muttered lowly and more to herself then anyone else. Rosaline spoke even as her eyes closed down, concentrating on the influx of lightning above and trying to condense it into one point. "You can be on top, but ultimately I will see to it you are dead. Victory means nothing if your heart doesn't beat." It was as had her eyes were closed and she was collecting the lightning for her precise lightning strike, did she happen to miss Dorian's arrow volley. Though it was Takeo's strange words that eventually pulled her from her concentration, did he just say Dorian? just why would he say THAT name-?
​

 
​

Rosaline's eyes slipped open gently as she glanced around the battlefield, with that same stern look and gritted teeth beneath pierced lips she always seemed to have. But it was the moment that she spotted Dorian across the field, staying away from her lightning strikes and watching both their moves. Almost instantly Rosaline couldn't tell you the single emotion in her body, her mind was a whirlwind and she had all but stopped breathing. Her eyes widened a fraction in surprise while her stance relaxed down. Unbelieving this was even real... it couldn't be real, could it?... She had watched him die... hadn't she? It all went black but she was sure she had felt him die in her arms. It couldn't possibly feasible after all this time he could be alive...
​

 
​

Could it?...
​

 
​

As seconds past, Rosaline hardened in her resolve, her surprise slowly turning into the same rage as earlier. If not even STRONGER if that was possible then before. This... this whoever, this couldn't possibly be Dorian, the man she had loved and the man whom she had been by his side for 5 years since Grand Magic Games. It wasn't possible which meant, this was someone else. Someone using Dorian's magic. Using his bow and his abilities, even looked the same as he! Clearly some sort of Copy Cat, or Mirror Mage. Like it wasn't hard enough to grieve over the loss of the person she loved but now, now they defiled his body and magic to turn against her?
​

 
​

Rosaline wasn't aware Dorian was only focused on Takeo, she just assumed he was there to kill her the same as Takeo was. From Grimoire Heart no doubt, foes to her all the same. The lightning subsided while it charged high up in the clouds, forming into one strong lightning bolt. Leaving the battlefield clear. "I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU ARE THE REAL DORIAN! THE REAL DORIAN IS DEAD! DEAD DEAD DEAD!" She screamed, her words breaking even as she said them. She was past upset, she was hysterical. "When will you leave me alone! When! Is all these months not good enough? You have to copy his body and his powers to! What kind of scum are you, Dark Guild! I'll end you! Just as I will end that stupid Green haired girl, MrSmiles and now you!" Slamming her fists together. Takeo sent a huge shock wave towards  Rosaline, making her throw her hands up and cross before her face, taking the brute of the attack while only skidded back a pace or so. But as she lowered her arms she found taking hit after hit, even from this guy, was starting to take it's toll. A hand drifted down her side to hold onto the wound in her side, blood starting to seep through the makeshift bandage she had tied around it. She was strong but no one could take hit after hit relentlessly.
​

 
​

Rosa lifted up her hands finally getting the huge lightning strike she had been preparing to charge and as she threw her hands down the one huge bolt of lightning crackled then landed between the both of them, as close as she could aim it. Hoping she could kill both while they were distracted with each other.
​

 
​

Almost the second she released it however, her arms fell limp as she felt the wash of energy completely over Baslam. She knew that magic, she knew it moreso then any other person. Purple/red flames and black lightning coated the sky, and the demonic power that hovered over everything like the gravity had intensified shook Rosaline to her very core.
​

 
​

"H...Hibiki..." She whispered gently, her face going blank, as her whole posture almost became limp. Putting up literally no defense at all as she stared stunned at the sky.
​

 
​

"W...What happened to you?~...."

Location: Crocus, Approaching SABERTOOTH GUILDHALL


    "Listen, my child, you say to me..." A male voice called out, as round as warmed butter and as soft as a harp. Following softly behind was a woman with another heavenly voice, nearly handcrafted for beauty, "I am the voice of your history..." A deep, near opera singer like voice finished the triangle of lines, powerful yet gentle, like a gentle giant, "Be not afraid! Come follow me..." All three of them sang to the guitar, "Answer my call and I'll set~, You~, FREE~!" The loud sound echoed through the streets of Crocus, revealing four figures draped in black wooly robes. The two near angelic singers were on top of the 'gentle giant'. They were covered by their robes to the point where none of their features could be seen. The giant was the same, except that his robes went so far down that they protected the rather short, plump woman, walking ahead of it. She was only short in comparison to the beast, though. She tried her hardest to say 'Please can you cease for a while longer?' but they were living things. They were pleasant, but in the streets it was just a distraction...

​

Kelica Zefara
​

Fairytail Guild Hall
​

 
​

While Hibiki before her didn't answer to him being a Guild Master, the blonde hair girl's green eyes blinked cutely as she watched him place his hands onto both the men who had spoken to him earlier. It reminded her greatly of when Hibiki used to do that to her, often after a huge training session. Maybe he really was a Guild Master now? Had so much really changed after all these years? While she had stayed, relatively the same, for the last 6 years? Kelica blinked as spotted a mirror like spell seemingly appear out of no where, showing an image of.. was that a town? Kelica had to pierce her lips slightly as her eyes narrowed, trying to place it... it looked familiar though she hadn't been there very often. The Guild Emmerich had gone to, and Noah in that time they had spent away... Lamia Scale correct? Almost to answer her question, she spotted a frame in the distance from Shiro, with purple hair as well as others she didn't recognize surrounding a girl. But what she ALSO saw was a town in panic and more attacks and blood shed.... it didn't take look for Kelica to realise, especially with Shiro's words, that Margret Town was under attack, which also meant Noah was in danger as well.
​

 
​

Feeling her heart clench in her chest, the short girl thrust her hands out suddenly like she believed she could reach out and touch Noah's very visual in the mirror, but all her hands did was pass straight through the spell and the image became blurred. Her breathing becoming slightly faster, she turned as if to talk to Hibiki beside her. That was when there was an immense surge of energy like she had never felt before in her life. Kelica had already half braced herself as a staff almost instantly materialized before the end slammed itself into the ground, the whole Earth shaking as roots coiled and burst up from all points surrounding the Guild Hall, twisting and turning like something out of Jack the Beanstalk and coming to a center point at the very tip of the roof to the Guild.  This extra Root shield groaned wearily as it weaved and threaded among itself, getting stronger before taking the blast of the Sonic Boom head on, leaving nothing but a small earth shake within the Guild and leaving most people with nothing but a strange shudder although every window was brown and darkened from being contained within.
​

 
​

It was only after the sonic boom had passed, did Kelica suddenly let the staff fall from her soft fingers, her eyes glazed over as the girl took a shaking step and crashed to her knees.
​

 
​

Silence...
​

 
​

There was no a single whisper and word and once she had realized that, the girl could almost feel her powers start to crumble and trickle away from her. The roots which had only recently burst began to fray and snap, gently peeling down before sinking back within the Earth like they were never there to begin with. Hibiki said a word and blasted away and in any other situation she would have run to follow and help. She glanced up to roof and the black lightning which cascaded around, but even then her vision was clouded. It was silent... there wasn't a single voice within her head anymore. And that's what terrified her the most. Like the Forest nearby hadn't been burned alive, merely it just simply DIDN'T EXIST anymore. In a matter of seconds.
​

 
​

Kelica took a deep breath in before she clutched at her head and let out an ear piercing scream even as tears pooled in the corners of her eyes.

Valken Truss
​

 
​

The Shadow Mage, Prince of Darkness walked about his cell as he had hundreds times before, counting his long legged steps from end to end. 10 paces by 10paces. His fingers touched the roof if he stretched up his hands as high as it would go. His eyes almost constantly held a half squint, because this place was very BRIGHT. It was a glass box suspended above a huge white shaft, and all the equipment inside was illuminated with neon lights. Even his bed, his toilet and some railings along the roof glowed. He glanced up to the poles stretched along the roof and idly peeled his, also white singlet, off his frame as he grasped the pole and reached up to do a chin up or a 100. It wasn't like he was going anywhere and being cooped up in a box with literally himself made 6 years seem like a thousand. There was no way to tell time in here, no clocks and no windows to even see the rise and fall of the sun. As his muscles began to burn and sweat was pooling over his frame, he glanced over as he heard the familiar voices of his Guards.
​

 
​

Which two would he see today?
​

 
​

Every 20mins they would walk past (he knew because Valken knew he could hold his breath for 5minutes at a time now, and counted how many breaths he could hold before they would return). He let himself dangle then on one arm, his purple eyes remained closed except for one which snaked open and peered over at them. He hoped it the was blonde girl with the nice chest... She reminded him of another girl he almost pained to see, and while she wasn't anywhere near as pretty as she was, the Guard was at least someone to stare at for a time that wasn't just a neon light or a bed frame. Low and behold it was no pretty girl, but rather two much younger and clearly newer recruits. Valken chuckled as he lifted up his legs and slipped them around the pole, dangling upside down and crossing his arms, letting his slightly shaggier hair dangle around his face and eyes as he peered through the glass wall to them with a wide grin working onto his face. The youngest one, though clearly not by much, stormed on over and rapped heavily onto the glass. "HEY HEY, CRIM! You hear me! I think it's a bit dark, maybe we should turn the lights up brighter!!! Hahahah!!" His mate slapping the first Guard on the shoulder before joining in. "What a complete disappointment this guy is.... can you believe he gets the highest guarded Cell in all of Era? I mean look at him! He couldn't hurt a fly! He's probably forgotten how to even use his powers after all this time... and this, this the son of the great Maya Morne? The Illusionist Queen! What a JOKE!" Both falling into laughter it threatened to send both falling backwards.
​

 
​

Valken's grin continued to stay on his face, though his eyes narrowed only a fraction. Ahhh Maya.. that name rung a bell and it was not the first time he had heard it either. It was a known thing, everyone knew that she was his mother and yet, in all the commotion Valken had never heard her say those little words to him. Oh it seemed the whole world knew about it, and flaunted it in his face, except for him. He almost didn't believe it, like a rumor spread only to see him hurt more... It couldn't be REAL after all, could it? Yeah she had keep an eye on him and kept him out of trouble, but she did that with EVERYONE! He failed to see after he's now almost 30, she would never once sit down and tell her something that important. So he had a bitter confusion and as with most things with Valken, he hated being confused with information he couldn't seem to grasp... Furthermore, if she really WERE his Mother, then why had she not tried to release him after all this time?
​

 
​

The name aside, Valken slowly swung a leg out from the pole and used the momentum of falling to spin and land right side up but faced away from the Guards. He slowly turned and walked up to him, uncrossing his arms and while they were busy he slammed his hands right before them on the glass, snapping their attention and making the men cry out suddenly and cling to one another. Valken watched their horrified reaction and his grin only grew wider and more sickening as he stared to them both, his purple eyes starting to glow and almost swirl with red as he peered to them. "No Cell can contain me. No prison can contain me. No pitiful Guards such as you can restrain me. I could have left years ago, but I didn't... Why? I have been beaten, subjected to zero sleep, and teased at, constantly, for years... Why would I let that happen mmm?" Letting his fingers curl up and scrap along the glass in an eerie fashion while he straightened to his full height. By this point the Guards were almost curled down. "You would think I might have forgotten how to use my powers but... Magic works in mysterious ways. The Human race learns to persevere even in the most trying of circumstances... Maya had illusion magic, correct? Why don't I show you a little something I've been working on.." That grin spreading so wide across his face it looked like his head might have split in two. His eyes locking with one man. "Come inside and I'll show you-"
​

​

Of course it was in that moment there was a huge shudder rock the facility and in the blink of an eye what was once there simply did not EXIST anymore. The second the explosion hit, the shock wave destroyed the glass cage and send the guards flying, Valken used his reflexes and rolled away from the tumbling glass cage and ran full tilt right into the closest wall, into the Shadow Realm... into his home. Almost the second his whole body got enveloped, Valken felt the cold and tight embrace of his Shadow Realm, one he had not felt in so long. The feeling most were terrified of, the claustrophobic sensation of being tightened and enclosed in while unable to breath... Valken had a sense of euphoria he hadn't felt in so long.. even stronger having been parted for so long.. His hands reaching out into the darkness. He almost had that momentary thought, he should stay here, forever. In the dark, cold, lifeless void, floating in the Shadows tight embrace but... but he had things to do.... He still had things to learn, and figure out, Questions that needed answers.... 
​

 
​

Slowly Valken ripped himself from his hold in the shadows and slipped out of the ground at the bottom of the now empty crater that was Era. He felt the residual energies of both Maya (oddly, ironically, she had been here after the explosion but hadn't found him? Sensed him?... Saved him? The lingering feeling of dark magic, Grimoire heart magic... and.. Hibiki to? Ahh so it was Grimoire Heart who had destroyed the building and released him. Grimoire... and Lucian...
​

 
​

Lucian Grey...
​

 
​

That name, sent his fists to clench. He wanted to find him.. talk to him. Talk... kill? No. Maybe?... No definitely talk. But.. before that...he needed something. He glanced to his hips, his pants, and patted his pockets. He couldn't do anything, not without the daggers he had grown up with his entire life. He needed his daggers... which meant going to Lamia Scale. And Maya... maybe he could avoid Maya? Yes do that. Avoid her, and get his daggers. Avoid everyone and get his daggers and leave. That was a good plan. He turned on the spot, surveying the crater that held his prison cell for 6 years before the Prince of Darkness fell backwards and seeped into the Shadows his own body made against the sun. Disappearing into a puff of smoke.
​

 
​

------
​

 
​

It had been some hours, Valken finally arrived at the edge of Margaret town. As he walked through town it seemed a mass attack had swept through and once again, he felt the residual strength of Maya leaving craters and God knows what. Valken had to roll his eyes. Was that woman everywhere? It seemed everywhere he went she was just THERE even when he had been a child. And yet, while in prison, she hadn't visited once? Valken had a distasteful sensation in his mouth. He was becoming increasingly confused and more Bitter towards the woman as he continued to walk, mostly just sidestepping any confrontation he came across. Although he did stop as he spotted a clothing store and grinned as he slipped inside, stealing a rather nice looking long red cloak, which he slipped on and red glasses. With them both on, he slipped straight back out without paying a jewel. It's not like he had any possessions on him anyway to pay.

​

The Shadow Mage continued on his path towards the Lamia Scale Guild Hall, glancing up towards some Rooftops nearby and sensing a few energies he recognized. Noah... interesting he was here, though he seemed to always like hanging around Lamia Scale. Ferra... except her power had far increased from what he had remembered... and two other's he didn't recognize. He thought for a moment intervening but getting involved in some squabble was the least of his concerned... What he really wanted was his daggers. Those poor saps could wait. As he stood before the Guild Hall he noticed a bright blinding light covering the place like a Shield, instantly his whole posture tensed. He didn't much react well to Light or Godly magic after all, but tentatively he reached out a hand to touch the white substance which rippled for a moment then simply let him meld on through, not unlike his Shadow Magic. He let out a breath he didn't realise he was holding and stepped inside a Guild he hadn't been in for 6 odd years.
​

 
​

Literally nothing had changed at all, yeah it was slightly more beat up then he expected but overall it looked exactly the same. He glanced around the room quickly but as fast as he had walked in, he slipped into the shadows against the floor and ran along the corners of the walls, taking in the room and all the people within. He cared little for all of them, he knew the one person he had to find to gather his daggers. And as much as he tried to stay impassive, Valken really didn't know how he would react to seeing the love of his life, the woman he had fallen in love with as a teenager. He slipped out of the shadows at a cross road intersection and rounded the corner, spotting Millie almost instantly as she was walking away and trying to head downstairs. His long legs came up behind her in a fast but silent pace, a hand snapped out and grasped at her arm to spin her back around to face him. He'd thought about this moment for a very long time while away. How he would react, what he would say to her if he saw her again. What he would do, and her own reaction. And yet, after all his times thinking about this moment, Valken merely stared at her speechless before one words escaped his lips.
​

 
​

"Millie..." Letting the name roll of his tongue even as his heart beat faster.
​

 
​

This wasn't part of the plan... the plan was to find Millie, get her to take him to his daggers, and leave. That was his plan and yet.
​

 
​

"I missed you..." He said softly even as he peeled his glassed from his face and tucked them in his pocket, to see her with both his dark purple eyes. He stepped closer then, suddenly, letting his other hand run up her arm and cup the side of her face, bringing her face up and even closer to his. "Please I-" He should have asked, if she wanted it or not, but he didn't. His body took over and he leaned down to press his lips against her own, even as his arms slipped around her tightly and held her to him. He just wanted to feel her and kiss her one more time, like he had so long again.

Bastion had been silently waiting for the man with the mechanical arm to answer him; though he didn't seem to notice the blue haired man offering to repair the machine for the other man; though he was vaguely familiar to Bastion, the blunette couldn't place him exactly but all of that was forgotten in an instant, Hibiki's voice even reaching inside the infirmary where Timothy and Bastion were at. He had been caught off guard by the sudden violent shaking that shattered windows even though he had sensed Kelica's magic creating the barrier that saved most of the people inside from falling on their rears, including Bastion himself, the magic faded away quickly though and while for the moment he had been concerned it wasn't just enough to send him running for Kelica, instead his eyes trailed over the broken windows and outside his jaw dropping suddenly when he noticed the lack of forest, which had Bastion's feet carrying him to Kelica quickly although it turned into a full on sprint when he heard her scream. His eyes widened when he heard the sound and ran full speed to his Queen's side, where a strange red head...R-Ryu right? Was kneeling beside Kelica hugging her and trying to comfort her, there was another man too mumbling incoherently to Kelica; without thinking much a small explosion went off by his head and he snapped at the two coddling his queen. "What'd you two do to her!? I swear if you hurt her...!" Bastion's eyes blazed, his magically enchanted glass eye changing to the color of red, as a pulsing, throbbing red orb appeared in his hand, though unlike before it didn't explode without his say so. Okay so he wasn't the calmest person in the world, and he had a bad habit of jumping to conclusions, but all he really knew was Kelica screamed and he didn't know why and that made Bastion tense as hell.
​

 
​

He took a deep breath though and closed his hand on the quickly beating orb, it didn't explode thankfully but he now carefully knelt beside Kelica and  lightly took her hand, keeping hold of her while he lightly tapped her cheek, a large warm hand pressing against her cheek even while smiling oddly sweetly, "My Queen...what's wrong? What happened that made you scream? I'm worried..." He spoke softly lifting his free hand to lightly wipe the welling tears from the corners of her eyes, mostly ignoring the two who were also trying to help Kelica; though she didn't try and push either away from the quaking blonde. No he simply worked around them, his light blue hair falling in his face to hide the once blazing red eye; only his bright cerulean eye visible to Kelica while he didn't dare move too far away from her.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall


During the three hours that had passed since the two Grimoire Heart mages had been brought in for questioning, Ryu hadn't moved much from where he'd been sitting three hours prior. He was still sprawled out on one of the many chairs in the Fairy Tail guild hall, only slightly paying attention to the things going on around him. He was snapped out of his daze when he heard Kelica's voice and he opened his eyes to see her standing next to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. A soft smile found its way onto his face and he put his arms around her to return her hug as she clung to him. When he felt like it had gone on long enough, he broke the embrace and set her back down, putting a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "It's nice to see you again too Kelica," he replied warmly as Kelica struggled to find the right words to express her emotions. "It has been quite a long time, hasn't it?" He simply smiled and nodded in response when Kelica stammered out that she was going to make herself some tea. He sat back down in his chair and relaxed again, his eyes drifting closed once more. There simply wasn't anything to do right now. The only thing currently happening was the interrogation of the Grimoire Heart members that Aria and the others were conducting, but that was something he that he had absolutely no interest in taking part in. He started to doze off again, half-sleeping as the minutes crawled by. Eventually, he started to lose interest in sleeping as well. He sat up in his chair and fished around in his pocket, pulling out a leather bound notebook and fountain pen. If he was going to waste time, he might as well spend it working on ideas for his next novel and be at least somewhat productive.
Ryu looked up from his notebook when he heard Cassandra enter the guild hall and address the guild, saying that she was an ally. He of course, already knew this, as the two saw each other fairly regularly, due to the fact that they were cousins. Cassandra had also taken over his former role as caregiver to Yui, his younger sister (although the young girl seemed to need a caregiver less and less these days) so he had seen Cassandra each time he made his monthly visit to his sister. He offered a quick wave in Cassandra's direction, opting not to steal her attention for more than a second since it seemed she had more important matters to deal with at the moment.
His concentration was thoroughly shattered as Hibiki suddlenly yelled out for everyone to take cover and an immense wave of magic innundated Magnolia. An enormous sonic boom followed up the magic wave, blasting out the windows of the guild hall and shaking it down to its very foundations. Ryu was immediately on his feet, assessing the damage and checking to make sure no one was injured. He watched as Hibiki suddenly left the guild hall, rushing away to who knows where. His head snapped in Kelica's direction as he heard her scream, and he dashed over to her side. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight but reassuring embrace, rubbing her back slowly in an effort to calm her down. "Shhhhh Keli," He whispered soothingly, continuing to hold her close. "Everything's going to be just fine"

Mitsuki Yamada


View attachment 248269


Mitsuki had gone off on his own after his encounter with his brother, and company. He sat down at the bar biting his lip nervously. There seemed to be something going on in the guild. The emotions  exuding off the mages around him we're affecting him in negative ways. He had become irritable, and grouchy. He even snapped at a fellow mage for sitting to close to him. Which was extremely unusual for him since he normally loved physical contact. Well most anyway, except when it was painful."What kind of sick twisted individual gets off on pain anyway?" Mitsuki found himself wondering, when suddenly there was a yell. Then the guild shook, but Mitsuki ignored it. Wasn't like their was anything he could do about it anyway.


After that he heard the same voice yell again. This time a name, and it seemed be coming from Hibiki. Mitsuki watched as he literally bolted from the guild hall, then went back to doing nothing. His mood didn't improve as those around him only seemed to get more worried, scared, and other unpleasant moods. Mitsuki was preparing to head to bed, when he was overwhelmed with several strong feelings. One dark and aggressive, it shook Mitsuki to his core. He looked towards the source of the feeling, glad he was safe for the moment.


Then another feeling hit him, this one cold, empty, and much closer. Mitsuki stood up, and turned towards the source. It was Keli," how did I not notice she was here?" He asked himself, wondering why he didn't notice sooner. After all he was good friends with Keli, and usually he noticed right away when someone familiar was near. Perhaps he had been affected more by his parents, and Masaki's death than he knew. He quickly ran up to Keli, kneeling next to her, and Ryu who was now holding her. Mitsuki placed a hand on Ryu's shoulder, and gave him a concerned look."Please allow me." He said simply moving closer to Keli, and placing a hand on her forehead. He began to whisper incoherently, his eyes closed, and magical energy flowing from him to Keli. His voice spoke in her mind," don't worry Keli, everything is okay. I'm here for you, so are all the others, please calm down. You're not alone," Once he said calm down, a feeling of warmth, and calmness would begin to take over the cold empty feeling Keli was currently feeling. Mitsuki kept his hand on her, talking to her just Incase she needed more assistance.

After Noah's attack against Mitsu, Noah's attention was brought to a familiar energy he haven't sensed in a long time. He look all around him until his gaze had fallen unto the guild hall. He saw a man standing before the guild hall. Valken?? Noah asked as he watched the man enter the guild. He continued to float in the air as his mind began to wonder. Was he able to escape because of the destruction of Era?? Noah wanted to rush in there and found for himself, but he had other things to take care of. There was still a Grimoire Heart mage that he and the others need to take down. He turned his attention back to the fight, with his hand still gripped tightly onto his sword. Prepared to re enter the fight, Noah was going to rush back into it, but before he could a green light coming from his necklace caught his sight. Noah looks down at his chest and saw that the gem on his necklace was glowing. This gem was a lacrima that is connected to Kelica's leaf necklace that he gave her years ago. The connection was set in place to be used for communication, and as an emergency alert system for Noah to return to Kelica if she was in trouble when he was away on his travels. 


The gem was glowing bright green. With his free hand he grabbed a hold of the gem and spoke under his breath. I'm coming Kelica. He spoke into the lacrima, unknowing if she or anyone else around her could hear him. Noah turns his attention to Kou. Kou!! He yelled out to him. I trust this situation to you. Do whatever you must to stop her. I gotta go save Kelica. Noah's grip on his sword intensified as he turned his attention to Magnolia. Bararaq. He spoke summoning a lightning strike upon himself transporting him to Magnolia. Upon his arrive a lightning bolt strikes in the air and Noah was there floating above the town. He looks up at the sky as the entire sky was covered in smoke, covering the sun. The town was completely cover in darkness. Noah looks over at a source of dark demonic energy as he saw two males in front of what was a forest. Noah eyes widen and the grip on his sword was loosened causing it to disappear. His body began to glow as he slowly descended to the ground in front of the guild, and exited his Baal take over. Seeing the destroyed forest, Noah knew exactly what happened to Kelica. Noah couldn't imagine the pain, emotion, and suffering she was feeling. He turned towards the doors of Fairy Tail and pushed them open.


Noah walks inside the guild and seeing Kelica in the center of the hall on the ground. Surrounding Kelica were two males and Bastion, all of them seem to be trying to make Kelica feel better. He walked towards the group and placed a hand on Bastion's shoulder. It was the forest. It's completely gone. She'll need to go back to Mithweld. But first Noah then placed his eyes upon Kelica. He wanted to hold her, and make her feel better. He sat before her, then placed a hand on her leg. Hey Kelica, it's Noah. I know what happened, and I'm sorry that it did. The forest didn't deserve that. I can't imagine how you're feeling right now, but I want you to know that I'm here for you along with everyone else. I can take you back to Mithweld, but whenever you're ready for me too. Noah's hand moved from her leg to her face as his hand rested on er cheek. His thumb wiped away whatever tears she had left.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall


During the three hours that had passed since the two Grimoire Heart mages had been brought in for questioning, Ryu hadn't moved much from where he'd been sitting three hours prior. He was still sprawled out on one of the many chairs in the Fairy Tail guild hall, only slightly paying attention to the things going on around him. He was snapped out of his daze when he heard Kelica's voice and he opened his eyes to see her standing next to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. A soft smile found its way onto his face and he put his arms around her to return her hug as she clung to him. When he felt like it had gone on long enough, he broke the embrace and set her back down, putting a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "It's nice to see you again too Kelica," he replied warmly as Kelica struggled to find the right words to express her emotions. "It has been quite a long time, hasn't it?" He simply smiled and nodded in response when Kelica stammered out that she was going to make herself some tea. He sat back down in his chair and relaxed again, his eyes drifting closed once more. There simply wasn't anything to do right now. The only thing currently happening was the interrogation of the Grimoire Heart members that Aria and the others were conducting, but that was something he that he had absolutely no interest in taking part in. He started to doze off again, half-sleeping as the minutes crawled by. Eventually, he started to lose interest in sleeping as well. He sat up in his chair and fished around in his pocket, pulling out a leather bound notebook and fountain pen. If he was going to waste time, he might as well spend it working on ideas for his next novel and be at least somewhat productive.
Ryu looked up from his notebook when he heard Cassandra enter the guild hall and address the guild, saying that she was an ally. He of course, already knew this, as the two saw each other fairly regularly, due to the fact that they were cousins. Cassandra had also taken over his former role as caregiver to Yui, his younger sister (although the young girl seemed to need a caregiver less and less these days) so he had seen Cassandra each time he made his monthly visit to his sister. He offered a quick wave in Cassandra's direction, opting not to steal her attention for more than a second since it seemed she had more important matters to deal with at the moment.
His concentration was thoroughly shattered as Hibiki suddlenly yelled out for everyone to take cover and an immense wave of magic innundated Magnolia. An enormous sonic boom followed up the magic wave, blasting out the windows of the guild hall and shaking it down to its very foundations. Ryu was immediately on his feet, assessing the damage and checking to make sure no one was injured. He watched as Hibiki suddenly left the guild hall, rushing away to who knows where. His head snapped in Kelica's direction as he heard her scream, and he dashed over to her side. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight but reassuring embrace, rubbing her back slowly in an effort to calm her down. "Shhhhh Keli," He whispered soothingly, continuing to hold her close. "Everything's going to be just fine"

Mitsuki had gone off on his own after his encounter with his brother, and company. He sat down at the bar biting his lip nervously. There seemed to be something going on in the guild. The emotions  exuding off the mages around him we're affecting him in negative ways. He had become irritable, and grouchy. He even snapped at a fellow mage for sitting to close to him. Which was extremely unusual for him since he normally loved physical contact. Well most anyway, except when it was painful."What kind of sick twisted individual gets off on pain anyway?" Mitsuki found himself wondering, when suddenly there was a yell. Then the guild shook, but Mitsuki ignored it. Wasn't like their was anything he could do about it anyway.


After that he heard the same voice yell again. This time a name, and it seemed be coming from Hibiki. Mitsuki watched as he literally bolted from the guild hall, then went back to doing nothing. His mood didn't improve as those around him only seemed to get more worried, scared, and other unpleasant moods. Mitsuki was preparing to head to bed, when he was overwhelmed with several strong feelings. One dark and aggressive, it shook Mitsuki to his core. He looked towards the source of the feeling, glad he was safe for the moment.


Then another feeling hit him, this one cold, empty, and much closer. Mitsuki stood up, and turned towards the source. It was Keli," how did I not notice she was here?" He asked himself, wondering why he didn't notice sooner. After all he was good friends with Keli, and usually he noticed right away when someone familiar was near. Perhaps he had been affected more by his parents, and Masaki's death than he knew. He quickly ran up to Keli, kneeling next to her, and Ryu who was now holding her. Mitsuki placed a hand on Ryu's shoulder, and gave him a concerned look."Please allow me." He said simply moving closer to Keli, and placing a hand on her forehead. He began to whisper incoherently, his eyes closed, and magical energy flowing from him to Keli. His voice spoke in her mind," don't worry Keli, everything is okay. I'm here for you, so are all the others, please calm down. You're not alone," Once he said calm down, a feeling of warmth, and calmness would begin to take over the cold empty feeling Keli was currently feeling. Mitsuki kept his hand on her, talking to her just Incase she needed more assistance.

Bastion had been silently waiting for the man with the mechanical arm to answer him; though he didn't seem to notice the blue haired man offering to repair the machine for the other man; though he was vaguely familiar to Bastion, the blunette couldn't place him exactly but all of that was forgotten in an instant, Hibiki's voice even reaching inside the infirmary where Timothy and Bastion were at. He had been caught off guard by the sudden violent shaking that shattered windows even though he had sensed Kelica's magic creating the barrier that saved most of the people inside from falling on their rears, including Bastion himself, the magic faded away quickly though and while for the moment he had been concerned it wasn't just enough to send him running for Kelica, instead his eyes trailed over the broken windows and outside his jaw dropping suddenly when he noticed the lack of forest, which had Bastion's feet carrying him to Kelica quickly although it turned into a full on sprint when he heard her scream. His eyes widened when he heard the sound and ran full speed to his Queen's side, where a strange red head...R-Ryu right? Was kneeling beside Kelica hugging her and trying to comfort her, there was another man too mumbling incoherently to Kelica; without thinking much a small explosion went off by his head and he snapped at the two coddling his queen. "What'd you two do to her!? I swear if you hurt her...!" Bastion's eyes blazed, his magically enchanted glass eye changing to the color of red, as a pulsing, throbbing red orb appeared in his hand, though unlike before it didn't explode without his say so. Okay so he wasn't the calmest person in the world, and he had a bad habit of jumping to conclusions, but all he really knew was Kelica screamed and he didn't know why and that made Bastion tense as hell.
​

 
​

He took a deep breath though and closed his hand on the quickly beating orb, it didn't explode thankfully but he now carefully knelt beside Kelica and  lightly took her hand, keeping hold of her while he lightly tapped her cheek, a large warm hand pressing against her cheek even while smiling oddly sweetly, "My Queen...what's wrong? What happened that made you scream? I'm worried..." He spoke softly lifting his free hand to lightly wipe the welling tears from the corners of her eyes, mostly ignoring the two who were also trying to help Kelica; though she didn't try and push either away from the quaking blonde. No he simply worked around them, his light blue hair falling in his face to hide the once blazing red eye; only his bright cerulean eye visible to Kelica while he didn't dare move too far away from her.

Sera and Lunaria
​

Lunaria nodded slightly, "It can be...really it's just mostly fire and lightning that I have to watch out for entirely." She said...both magics being fairly common. In essence there was a chance the slime girl was screwed a good 80% of the time due to fire just being so common. She bet a number of mages in the guild hall knew fire magic and that alone was enough to partially freak her out. She smiled at her sympathies and shook her head, "It's been a few years..but thank you." She told her, sighing heavily. She still missed her parents very much but she usually didn't let it bring her down. After all, she was in a guild that was going to stop them. They'd be avenged soon enough. When Cassandra arrived she looked to her briefly and smiled at the mark, more help! Always a good thing.
​

 
​

She then turned to Ayano and tilted her head at her warning..she was going to reply by she was thrown off balance by the magic, she didn't deform..thankfully, but it did boggle her senses due to how strong it was. She made a small groan as she nearly fell over, gripping onto the shorter girl for support. She shook her head gently and sighed, "Oh don't worry. I'm not worried about you hurting me..." She assured her, albeit her words slightly slurred and herself speaking at a much slower pace than she had before. The magic scared her too, it felt familiar to her but she couldn't pinpoint what exactly. She did however know it was an evil presence. Sera herself wasn't entirely bothered by it, save for the rather massive headache it gave her already poor aching head. She grit her teeth and held her head in her hands, a slight groan escaping her lips. "Damn Grimoire Heart...could at-least be more quiet.." She muttered, figuring that it was them doing it. She had half a mind to rise from her seat and move to kick some ass...but decided against it when she stood and nearly vomited on the floor.
​

Hibiki soon left, gathering the attention of Lunaria and Sera both, Sera just shrugged and going back to drinking her coffee to cure her hangover, Lunaria however looked extremely worried. She sighed heavily and looked to Ayano, "What do you think happened..?" She asked. No sooner than she asked did she feel a much more obvious and familiar aura...Hibiki's. It was different than most times she witnessed his magic, more malevolent, more angry. Just what had happened? She looked out of the window as the sky darkened, her eyes growing wide as she witnessed it. The screams of the people worried her that he was actually hurting others, but surely the man she trusted the most wouldn't do that...right?
​

 
​

Soon after Kelica screamed, Sera having just gotten over the shock of Hibiki's display of magic doubled over in pain from the loud cry. Note to self...getting hung-over during a potential emotion provoking war was not a good idea. She had only seen Kelica this upset one time before, and this was the first time they met. She glanced over to her, watching as she was quickly comforted by everyone. Amidst the pain searing it's way through her skull she cracked a small smile, walked over, and joined the small huddle. Though she had to stand off to the side. "We're here for you Kelica...it'll be alright.." She told her in a reassuring tone...well as reassuring as one could be gripping onto a table for support. She doubted most of the people there knew about what happened...the guild had changed a lot over the last six years, those that knew were mostly gone. Alas, even knowing, there was nothing whatsoever that Sera could do to help her other than what everyone else was doing.
​

 
​

Lunaria herself wanted to help, but she wasn't sure how. She also didn't know any of the others so it would be awkward trying to do anything. Instead she just stood off to the side watching, waiting on any sort of opportunity to be of any use.

Lucian Grey
​

Lucian was, without a doubt, upset that both of his attack teams were failing. Especially with Mitsu leading one...ah well. The mages there were replaceable. Only a few were actually worth sending in the first place. Nevertheless he watched, glaring as Camille fled the scene...it seemed she had gotten overwhelmed. At-least she had the common sense to run. She was a valuable asset, so he didn't entirely mind the girl running off and living to fight another day. Soon enough Raven arrived with Keira in tow, a small smile forming on her face. "Ahh...I knew you wouldn't fail." He told her. "Excellent work.." He said, then looking to the child. "You'll be a very interesting way to bait your mother and father...most certainly." He told her. "I'm Lucian Grey, perhaps your parents told you about me..?"
​

 
​

About time he spoke to the child Rasil appeared carrying a beat up unconscious Grant. He chuckled a little as he spoke and looked down to the priest. "Have him patched up and moved to a cell. Notify me when he's awake, I can't have him die on me mid conversation.... I'll speak to him personally." He told him, waving his hand as a dismissal.

Camille Izunami
​

Camille hadn't actually ran to far from the group, hiding behind a nice sized boulder a ways out. She watched everything intently trying to figure out what to do. She definitely wasn't sure at all, she was sure she'd get killed like the rest of the group if she even got within view range of them. She didn't want to die but she had order...she was rather conflicted. She watched Masaki break down crying about Grimoire Heart, apparently taking his family from him? But...Grimoire Heart were the good guys, right? At-least that's what she was lead to believe to a degree. They had raised her, albeit against her will, but she didn't remember that part. She sighed shakily as they flew away and walked out from behind the rock, watching intently. Tossing her cloak aside she walked towards Crocus and eventually reached the edge, perhaps if she appeared less menacing she could infiltrate Sabertooth..she didn't think anyone knew her.
​

 
​

They may of saw the glowing on her chest but only if they were attentive enough. She walked towards the guild hall slowly, intent on learning everything she could from the members..especially Masaki. She was fully prepared to run again if it called for it.

I can't imagine how you're feeling right now, but I want you to know that I'm here for you along with everyone else. I can take you back to Mithweld, but whenever you're ready for me too. Noah's hand moved from her leg to her face as his hand rested on er cheek. His thumb wiped away whatever tears she had left.

Kelica Zefara
​

Fairytail Guild Hall
​

Kelica was trying to focus in on something, anything, in-front of her. She'd had training right, she was a strong wizard yes? And yet, right now, all she could hear was complete and utter silence. The sheer cold and emptiness was something she had hoped she would never feel again, but it seemed what was Kelica's greatest strength was also her greatest weakness. The screaming slowly died down but her mouth gaped wide like she were still screaming but without the sound. Her whole body shook and trembled. It wasn't long however before the Forest Mage was enveloped in a pair of arms even as her head still remained tilted down and her eyes were wide and glassy. Was someone rubbing her back? The girl sniffled for a moment as her mouth slowly shut, her hands snaking forward to clasp onto the shirt of whomever was before her. Fingers curled and clinging almost desperately as she tried her hardest not to cry. Watery emerald eyes peering up slowly to see it was Ryu of all people, right there before her, holding her close.
​

 
​

She wanted to speak, to talk to him, to tell him what was wrong but she just couldn't. She looked absolutely terrified. She felt cold all over. She felt someone come close to Ryu and her's side, spotting Mitsuki who was kneeling now. "W...what are you-?" She managed to say in a half way broken voice, before he placed his hand on her head and started to whisper to her. Kelica's sniffling abruptly stopped, as her eyes glassed over almost too suddenly. Her breathing which had been labored and panicked, slowed down like she were in danger of falling asleep. He said to calm down and said she wasn't alone, but she was. She felt a warmth inside her, that was trying to fill the void but as good as his intentions were, it was not the warmth of the Forest she loved. It was different, and she could sense that almost instantly. Kelica tensed up despite his efforts to calm her, almost of the verge of starting to cry once again. "E...everything is not... o..okay... everything is far... from okay.." She said in words that broke. She heard Sera's voice as she approached and shook her head, almost violently, starting to grow more hysterical by the second. "How will it be alright?! They are dead... all dead.... all of them all.."
​

 
​

She heard Bastion call out suddenly making her cower in at least a portion into Ryu just by reflex, her fingers tightening harder around his shirt as if to distance herself a fraction from all the people. At least till Bastion knelled beside her and took her hand, causing Kelica to shift slightly in Ryu's arms and face him more, peering to his face, trying to focus in on him alone to try and calm herself. But she was struggling even now. It was so.. silent.... so quite. "T..the voices Bastion. Their gone. All of them.. just... gone..." She tried to explain. in that same broken voice. She sniffed harder lowering her gaze to the floor, fingers threatening to tear through Ryu's very shirt by how hard she clung to it. That was until she heard a voice that made her blink halfway confused, before she heard more words. She must have been dreaming right? Wasn't Noah at Margret Town only moments ago? She saw him in the portal and yet-
​

 
​

She felt the hand on her thigh and looked up to see Noah, sitting there watching her as he continued to talk. She'd been convinced he had been hurt, or worse, but now here he was just in-front of her. Kelica's hands slipped from Ryu's shirt as she turned fully and almost threw herself into Noah, wrapping her arms like a leech around his torso as she buried her face into his neck, curling up in his lap as the tears only continued, stronger now. Like the shock was subsided and the sadness was hitting her like a tonne of bricks. Her hands now clasping at his back and shirt in a ferocious embrace like she didn't ever want him to leave again. "You were gone... when I woke up.. then Lamia got attacked... I was so worried and then.. the Forest it just... it's gone Noah it's gone!" Sobbing harder into his shoulder.

[TheHufflepuffRabbit]

  After the boys said the one word in unison, Valken (the one from six years ago who'd been arrested) had walked in and up and kissed Millie on the lips; Nik and Phin would have noticed had they not have had massive earaches and headaches, not to mention a strange bloodlust directed towards anyone that dared shout and anything that dared to make a loud noise. In other words they were experiencing the Neko Blues. Was that a thing? Probably. After a moment, Nikolas stood up, placing his hands in his pockets as he meandered to where the four kids were safely hidden for a quick headcount.


  And that was when he leapt backwards with a loud scream, resulting in a dirty look from his brother. 


  ".....The HELL was that for."


  "Phineas," Nikolas started in a dangerous tone, turning slowly to his twin. "Can ya walk? Though ya got zap-oed by that lightning thing, can ya at least still walk?"


  "Probably."


  That was the exact moment when the Neko grabbed Phineas and dragged him towards the exit; there was a certain fire in his eyes. "Valks ran off again. Prob'ly in the wrong hands. Sense 'im where we sensed whoever the hell is dead now. Either he got kidnapped and his abductor got killed or he happened across a murder or...." Nikolas trailed off, unable to finish his sentence. His cute little son, out there at a time like this. The thought of someone trying to hurt his family made him want to scream; however, screaming only made both him and Phineas ten times more grumpy than they already were. So instead, he transformed into his scythe form, Phineas catching him without a word. 


  ".....Yeah. I hear you. Don't worry, Valks is alive. It's faint, but his scent is picking up just a couple streets down. He's being carried. Relatively fast runner with one hand. I think it's the guy you stabbed thirty-something times." The taller twin turned to the guild hall, his keyboard appearing in front of him, floating in midair. "We'll be back in a bit, just got to murder some bitches. If anyone feels like joining, go ahead. Our target knows parkour. See you." And, with that, he walked out, no longer in the safety of the guild hall, holding his scythe of a brother in his hands. Then he leapt  onto a separate building, running in the direction where he could sense the culprit. Then Phineas stopped. He was picking up Valken's scent both in the guild hall and on the streets. Confused, he ran back inside the guild hall, dragging scythe-Nikolas behind him. He walked up the steps where Valken (the older one) was. He very calmly lifted Valken's cloak, looking under it. "I have fish at home. If I say that, will you stop hiding?" 


  "What're ya DOIN'?!"


  "Nikolas, can Valks split himself in two?"


  "Nah, he can just explode cookies so far. Why d'ya ask?"


  "I'm picking up his scent around this guy."


  "Whaaaaa—I dunno, dude, I think the one-handed guy has some sorta magic to throw us off or somethin'. Come onnn, we need to rescue Valken before Ferra gets back." Nikolas paused, transforming back into his human form to address Valken and Millie. "Ehhh....sorry 'bout that, guys. He needs t'lay off the catnip. My name's Nikolas, by the way! Nikolas Saedor! And that's my brother, Phin! Welcome t'Lamia Scale!" he chirped to Valken before turning back into a weapon. "Y'look like a cool guy 'n' all, but we gotta go find Valks. He's a bit crazy, this happens a lot, nothin' to worry 'bout, byeeee!"


   Phineas only grumbled something in response (again), letting go of the cloak and picking up his brother, leaping off of the second floor. He used Nikolas to hook to the rafters and swing towards the exit, then cannonballed down to the first floor, slammed open the door, and once again ran out. The aura of frustration was clear as day.

Clair Fernandes
​

Fairy Tail/Wizard Saint
​

Fairy Tail Guildhall   
​

Clair had been wandering around the forests that surrounded magnolia's far northern side for quite some time now as a part of her current Job, which was to find and retrieve a lost kitten whom had fallen out of a cart. Now of course your wondering, why exactly is a wizard saint accepting a lost kitten job ? Well actually it's quite simple Clair personally knew the family whom had lost the kitten and swore to return the kitten herself. Yep the reasoning was as simple as that, however the task itself was not so much. However with great persistence comes success and well Clair eventually found the kitten half starved in a bush.


Needless to say the kitten was then immediately rushed back to the guild hall by Clair in order to ensure it was okay before the family came to retrieve it. Now upon arriving at the guild Clair moved now to make her way to the kitchen and then proceeded to retrieve a small dish and a carton of milk before gently setting both the kitten and the now dish of milk upon the floor. Once the kitten began to drink from the dish Hibiki shouted for everyone to take cover and of course Clair did so on instinct, shielding the kitten as she did so.


The blast was sudden and took Clair by surprise, however once she had ensured the kitten was safe, she made a move for the guild door. Swinging it wide open to asses the town itself at a glance. However her glance was quickly averted as a result of Kelcia's scream and thankfully she was attended to by the other members of the guild. Unfortunately Clair was no good when it came to comforting people, however she could at least try right ?


With that thought in mind Clair shut the guild door and proceeded back into the kitchen to retrieve a number of items which she brought to a table near Kelcia and the others. Cookies, milk, cake,fruit and a number of other edible goods sat on the table along side the kitten and Clair. With a quick glace to the group beside her Clair motioned that they were welcome to join at any time "The Guild's here for you Kelcia, your not alone"

Rodwen Kiernan

Grimoire Heart

Rodwen was only now arriving to answer Lucian's summons, the guild master had called her to his side for some reason or another ? While yes, Rodwen did assume it was a call for reinforcements, it honestly could have been absolutely anything knowing Lucian.


None the less she slowly approached the guild master and came to a stand still at his side. Rodwen however did not utter a word as he seemed to be otherwise occupied, Rodwen knew he'd address her when necessary. Therefore she simple stood with a smile upon her face and her hands held politely behind her back.
