  Nikolas burst into laughter when Ferra mentioned the beer. That was....probably true, honestly. He took a large gulp out of his drink, then put it down. "Yup, that's Dad all right," he said casually, wincing at the sound of a fire in the distance, but he didn't really think much of it. "Huh....one of the chefs must've overdone it on the flambé, eh, Ferra?" he joked, hearing a loud shout afterwards. As Bismarck passed by, Nik tapped his dad's shoulder; the man almost dropped the dirty plate he was carrying. "Ey, Dad, the kitchen's on fire. Didja hear that scream?"


  "......What scream?"


  "Whaaat? You didn't hear it?"


  "No....? And the kitchen isn't on fire, Nikolas."


  Nikolas pouted, looking towards the kitchen. Not on fire. Huh. 


  Weird. 


  After Bismarck left, the half-Neko, his ears still ringing from the shout he could have SWORN he heard, looked over at Ferra. 


  "Ey....Ferra, you heard it too, right? The shout? It sounded awfully familiar to me...."

Ferra giggled at his response and smiled wide. At what he said she stared at him curiously, "Uhhh....what?" She asked. She did however hear the shouting, though had no clue what he meant by the fire sounds. As far as she could see there wasn't one in the inn so she doubted there was one, then she remembered he could hear better than her. She shrugged it off, figuring it likely wasn't something they themselves should concern themselves with. After all Crocus had mages and staff on hand to deal with house fires and the like. Besides, what was she going to do, eat fire? Not that should could...but she guessed it would be a little cool.


At his question she nodded, "Yeah I heard the shout. Couldn't make much out of it though." She replied. "We could check it out if you want to?" She offered, though again wasn't to sure if it was something to concern themselves with. She of course had no idea it was Masaki who had shouted, instead thinking it to be some random person having a little to much fun at the Games.

Tokine - Sabertooth Guild Hall
​

Tokine was sitting at one of the corner tables reading a book when she heard Sakura calling for her. The charm bracelet she had received from her firend for christmas was plainly visible on her right wrist. She almost always wore it; a testament to the value she held for the gift. The girl placed her dog themed bookmark on the page she left of on before getting up from her seat and walking towards Sakura. As she approached, Tokine wondered if Sakura had been recruited to be part of Sabertooth's Grand Magic Games teams. Tokine had been accepted onto one and she was secretly a little excited that she would get to interact more with her guild. As far as training, she had picked up a new trick over the course of the few months that had passed since the holidays. Hopefully it would help her overcome her disadvantage against more range focused opponents. When she was close enough to her friend, Tokine gave a small wave to greet her.

"Hello Sakura. Did you need me for something?" Tokine asked curiously.

[Talon]

"...Fine, but you're buying." Lily said as she returned her sword to its normal form and sheathed it. "You better not be a cheapskate Talon. " She said jokingly. She decided to let him have the win on this one. She had plenty more tricks up her sleeve but it wouldn't do well to go all out on an ally. " She reached up and took his hand, using it to pull herself up. "And it's 'you're' dearie, y-o-u-apostrophe-r-e." She corrected him. "Hang on." She delivered a swift kick of justice into his shin. "That was for peeping earlier you perv." She explained. "C'mon let's go eat then." She began to walk off into Crocus, in search of something to eat.

Talon snorted, "Alright fine." He said with a grin. "Oh don't worry I can always beg for cash." When she corrected him for not using an apostrophe he looked confused. "Wait what? What do you mean." He looked thoughtful for a moment and then added. "That was kinda like some 4th wall breaking" 


"hang on." She said.


"uh wha-ouch!" He exclaimed as Lily kicked him in the shin. "I guess I deserved that." He told her with a laugh as he followed her into the city. Though he didn't regret anything.

  Phin's eyes widened in horror when they approached the cottage; he felt this sudden sinking feeling, for the whole place had been burnt to ashes. He had been too late. The half-Neko trembled, thinking about how this had happened. Why this had to happen. Why was it Lamia Scale? Why today?! Why were they losing so much in one day?


  And how did the stronger wizards end up with terrible fates? Phineas remembered Valken, smiling sadly as he was dragged away. The despair that had fallen over them all. And now Masaki, in his grave. Shiro appeared just as upset; she had created a barrier, literally shoving the group of people gathered away from the terrible sight. 


  Before this, Phineas hadn't fully understood the concepts of loss, fear, and tension—something that his parents had done their best not to raise him with. And now, here he was, realizing that a member of their guild had died. Phineas slowly sunk down to the ground, speechless. His face was paler than chalk, but when Shiro put the lacrima communicator in his hand, he took a deep breath, standing up and holding her hand with his free one. 


  ".......Why?" he said hollowly, choking back tears before Nikolas answered.

@Mitchs98


  Meanwhile, Nikolas was about to make a joke to Ferra about the person shouting, when his bag of jewel started vibrating. He blinked, rummaged through it, then found a lacrima communicator, probably put there on purpose. The half-Neko shrugged and answered it, putting it on the table so both he and Ferra could hear. 


  "Yo! Wassup?"


  The line was silent except for the sound of very quiet crying. Nikolas's eyebrow creased in concern. "...Phin, is that you? Why're ya cryin'? Somethin' bad happen?"


  "Nikolas, promise me you will live for a long time, okay? Ferra too," Phineas managed to choke out; Nikolas blinked. 


  "Uhh...okay. Why?"


  "We lost another guild member. Masaki. At the hands of Grimoire Heart." Phin's voice was shaky from all the tears; at the news, Nikolas's eyes widened. His eyes brimmed with tears. 


  "AAAAAGGGHHH! I SWEAR, I AM GOING TO SET THOSE GUYS ON FIRE ONE DAY!"


 


--------


  Phineas heard the thump and hung up, his sobbing increasing in noise. The tears were getting worse and worse. He hadn't known Masaki well, and yet something made him want to hurt whoever did this. Phineas instead put the communicator down, hugging Shiro. He needed a hug. A good one.

Yamato saw celestia walk out the hospital and appears to be smiling quite cheerfuly again. Perhaps she just needed her time alone in the bathroom to set her head straight. Although for some reason he couldn't shake off the feeling that Celestia isn't telling him the full story. Celestia began to talk saying she's feeling better and should get some rest. At least that was until she stopped talking all of a sudden and stared off into the distance. "Cele-darling? Are you feeling alright?" She spoke of seeing some green smoke in the distance. Of which Yama took a look himself, upon laying eyes on the scene a look of shock covered his face. "That... It couldn't possibly be..." Yama recognised the smoke. He remembered that as the aftermath of a dangerous spell. Something he witnissed before on one of his missions. No one was caught in the blast that he remembers but things could be much different there. Or maybe it wasn't what he thought it was at all which he sincerely hoped was the case. "I drastically hope I'm wrong but we should probably investigate this as soon as possible. If it's what I think it is... It would only raise the question of why a dark guild would stage an attack on Crocus' front doorstep..." What ever Kazuo was doing Yama hoped he was going to be quick. This could be the start of something tragic.

Ferra herself was going to say something else but paused when Nikolas' jewel bag started ringing, of course she immediately figured it was a communication lacrima but wasn't entirely sure why one would be there. Not thinking much of it she took another sip of her drink, pausing and sitting it down when she heard crying. She listened intently as it was confirmed that Phineas was the one that was on the other end of the line, looking incredibly confused at what he initially said. Her eyes then widened in shock when he mentioned they'd lost Masaki. "What..." She whispered in sheer disbelief. She hadn't known Masaki all to much herself, but he was still a member of the guild, and she still liked him. Who she was more-so concerned about was Grace...she'd be devastated, she knew that much. She wasn't sure what to say, Nikolas having more or less said what she would of. "We'll get them back for this Nik. All of us will." She replied. "I know we will.." She told him in a reassuring voice. "We'll hunt them all down, for Valken and Masaki." She said, nodding slowly. "Don't worry, they won't get away with this." She said.

Sera nodded, "Fair enough." She replied. "C'mon, let's go steal the kitchen from the chefs and get us some breakfast yeah?" She told her, smiling and opening the door to walk downstairs. "If they'll let you anyways. We just might have to order breakfast for once" She said. "If we do what do you feel like eating?" She asked, looking at Verdana. She knew she liked cooking and learning to cook but she wasn't entirely sure if that would be possible at the moment with the fact they were staying at a hotel, but she'd definitely try to convince them.

Kathy watched as Tyson's face began to redden. Never has she ever seen his face turn red like it was now. He was embarassed of something. Which is why he was trying to cover it up with saying he must have trained too hard when Kathy knew that was total BS. But she didnt dwell on it for the sake of Tyson's red face and trying to lie out of it some more and Miles pretty much encouraged the lie which was good but bad at the same time. It didnt take him long to burn out his cigarette and lean back, seeming to go to slee. Her eyes then moved over to Eric who apparoached and informed the small group of what he found out with Lionel "...Green cloud..?" she asked  before nodding softly "I'll be coming." the smaller mage stood up and looked back at Tyson and Miles while Eric asked if they were going with them. Of course Miles would wave it off and say he'd hold the fort. Meanwhile she knew that he was just gonna be sleeping the whole time.
​

 
​

"Miles, if this green cloud is something of a dark guild's intention... We need to investigate... Especially since this is our home...our city..."  she leaned forward and put her hands on his knees so she wouldnt fall as she was pretty close to his face even though his eyes had been shut and his head had been leaning back "Please Miles? We need all the help we can get if this is a threat..." sure they would have a Takeover mage, a dragon and a Nexus user but that couldnt be enough power if there was more than enough mages on the other side. Before she knew it, she heard Lionel let out a large roar from outside "Seems lionel is in his much larger form..." Kathy stated as she glanced at Tyson "Are you coming...?"

Kazuo seen the Doctor and gave him a brief nod in thanks as he took care of his own papers and allowed Celestia to go first while filling out the paper. "Alright." he simply said, finishing up with the papers not too long after and walking out of the hospital. The first thing he saw was a Green Cloud but what was it hovering over? Or where... He looked at Yamato and Celest "Lets get a birds eye view, Yamato. We need to see where that's coming from." he moved up next to Celestia and placed his hand on her head in comfort before dropping his hand and looking at the smoke that concerned him most. Well actually, Celestia was the woman that he was concerned with most, but he knew she was strong and could handle her own. His eye then glanced back to Yamato "Be on guard though. We dont know what this green cloud can do to us." Was it a threat? Or was it a magic fire? Maybe someone screwed up on one of their magic shows before the games? Doubtful but still possible. There was only one way to find out and this was the way to do it. HIs mind grasping at straws to get organized between losing Rosa to Dorian and Dorian in general, finding out that Celestia was getting to the point where she could kill herself, and trying to keep his composure. It was like a hurricane went through his mind and screwed every bit up.

  Nikolas remained in silent shock, unable to say anything. Not even when Bismarck came out with two huge dishes of fish, along with the ice cream sundaes and another round of beer. Something told Nikolas's father that they would need it. He silently placed the plates down, having recently been chewed out by the owner of the restaurant to please not take so long on writing the orders for the teenagers at Table Three. Then he walked away from the table, worry in his eyes. He had heard a bit of Nik and Phin's conversation, and he was scared. Scared for his sons and their safety. 


  Nikolas took an apprehensive gnaw out of his fish, then he nodded, an idea spawning inside his head. He gripped Ferra's hand, after searching his pockets, finding his contacts, and putting them in. "Ey, Ferra, how would ya like to flip off the assholes who took our friends from us? There's a buncha spray paint in my room back at Maya's that's screamin' my name."

​

Bastion sighed as she drunk down the alcohol she had been consuming, she'd had about 3 at this point and yup she was feeling the effects, thankfully not horribly just a touch tipsy and she tilted her head to the side at something Noah had said, there might be a djinn that could help her remember, and he would find it. "Thank you Noah, I appreciate that you care. I'm just...sad, my memories, the only ones I've got that I know were spent with Kelica so much, they're all I've got. My doctor said something to me though and now that I'm thinking about it...I'm actually kinda down." Almost as if on cue a small rainbow colored explosion exploded right beside her head and she flinched slightly, without meaning to she had sounded soft and almost sweet. She sighed quietly and had been in the process of relaxing when she heard the same man that Noah had and looked at him with her head tilted to the side at his sudden urgency.
​

 
​

She was on her feet quickly, almost as soon as Noah said they needed to go, she didn't need to hesitate but she was curious, "Mad Maya? Who's that? Why are we suddenly in a hurry to get to the mansion?" Then she put pieces together, small and faint and not fully there but she had an idea, "Does this have to do with what I saw? Valken being dragged off? Why does a; what I assume is a woman; have such a strange nickname? Ah sorry I know I'm being nosy, I just am confused." Each step she took proved that she was stressing now and those cursed explosions; small as they were, kept popping off all around her as she followed Noah. Even going over the river that he had left Bastion at along the path and she blinked because the river was still sort of frozen, she really didn't want to remember right now, she had bigger things to worry about. What was going on? She wondered as she kept pace with her friend sighing low from the stress.
​

​

Once his flask was complete, Noah placed the glass bottle down before they left all the way. He took a sip as the rushed to the mansion. He looks over at Bastion as he started asking questions left and right. Noah didn't have problems with the questions, but Bastion just needed to relax a bit. There were small explosions going off of him with each step he took. Noah placed his hand on Bastion shoulder as he stopped walking, making Bastion stop as well. Bastion Relax!! You're stressing already. Take a deep breath with me. Okay?? In..Noah slowly inhaled deeply, Now out. He slowly exhaled the breath from his body. Better?? Noah paused for him to respond, then continued walking and talking. Mad Maya is Maya Morne. She was a wizard saint and the guild master of Lamia Scale. The reason why we're in a hurry has everything to do with what you saw. Maya is like a mother to Valken, so seeing him being taken away had to piss her off. Which soon led to her and the council going at it. Noah started to wonder just how bad the destruction was near the mansion, and what might have happened to Maya. He looks over at Bastion for a quick second before looking straight again. There was a lot of distance to cover and Noah was in a hurry. He looks at Bastion again and places his hand on his shoulder. Bastion I'm about to teleport to the mansion. Brace yourself. Noah looks up at the sky and speaks. Bararaq. 


A lightning bolt strikes down onto the two of them transporting them to outside of the mansion. When the smoke cleared the destruction was visible. Noah wasn't surprised by the destruction. But luckily it only looked like she sent a shockwave to get rid of them. I'm going inside. Noah walks inside and stops looking around. MAYA YOU HERE!?!? He yelled out in question not really expecting a response. Noah walks up the stairs heading towards Maya study. Upon his arrival Noah notices the letter(s) on the table, he instantly knew this wasn't good. He walks up to the table sitting down in a chair next to it. He opens the letter and reads along with the illusionary Maya. When it was over, Noah chuckled and placed the letter on the table, closing it back up. He stood up still chuckling. Well I wonder what the hell will happen next. First Kelica, then Valken, and now Maya. Even though his time with them all was short, He grew to love them all. The members of Lamia Scale will truly be devastated. Noah walks towards the stairs and sits down at the very first step. Noah grabs his flask and starts drinking from it periodically. @Arius LaVari @LeSoraAmari

Verdana rubbed her chin softly for a few seconds to think. She suddenly squeaked in a high pitched yet adorable blast. Her eyes sparkled and she practically drooled as she said, "An omelet with green peppers and little bits of crickets?! No.. the crickets would not taste that good with cooked chicken baby... an Omelet with spices and peppers, please?!" She pushed herself chest first towards Sera, her sparkling eyes eager to try a meal she had heard was amazing...

Tyson Redd


Tyson sighed, and turned away from Kathy, and Miles. Leaning on his side, and attempting to get his head straight. He had only had one goal in life, to become stronger. Step by step, that was his only desire. To become strong enough to protect those he cared about, and more importantly to be confident in his abilities. His next step would be S class, but he wasn't sure if he'd ever make it there at the rate he was going. Tyson's face turned it's normal color, and he seemed to be lost in thought now. Then Eric, one of their guild mates approached. Speaking of a green cloud of smoke. Tyson turned his attention back towards the others, and thought on It. 


He had enough experience to know that was nothing good. Some kind of dark magic, and God help whoever got hit by it. If there was anything left of the afterwords that is. He stood up, and turned to Miles, and Kathy." Don't worry, I'll take care of him, you can relax little brother." Tyson gently moved towards Miles, nodding at Kathy to let her know he was going to pick him up. Being as her hands where on his knees. Once clear he would lift Miles over his shoulder, ready to go investigate. Tyson then shot a unintentionally intimidating glare at Eric."So, where did you see the green smoke?"

This...this was the look she prayed would never darken her man's expression again, loss and despair, feelings she knew well for several reasons, he gripped her hand tightly and she had listened to Phineas tell Nikolas what had happened, all thoughts of 'having fun' vanishing, yeah they needed to go to the mansion again. No they needed to go home back to Margaret Town because right now Shiro was cursing the entire city of Crocus, had they never come here none of this would have happened, they could have worked in quiet peace or rambunctious peace. With this guild...yes you felt like family, the way Phineas hugged her tight made her heart ache, he was hurting so much and probably just as angry as she was, she returned his hug, pulling him close and holding tight after picking up the communication lacrima. "We should head back...we have to find the rest of our family, just to make sure they're all safe, best place to do that is at the mansion." She sighed low before carefully untangling herself from Phineas though she gripped his hand and pulled him to his feet, never fully severing contact then began to slowly make her way back through the crowd pulling him along with her.
​

 
​

Shiro picked up pace, knowing he would be able to keep up, nothing was right just then and she was strangely cold to the touch, though a look at her and you'd know that she was struggling to control her magic; something that never happened to her, she had perfect control but she was hurt and enraged by current events and white light licked her too pale skin, extending back to Phineas. No she wasn't losing control she was paranoid, over him, probably over the others as well, oh yes she was losing her mind with the paranoia, "Screw Grimoire Heart, I'm going to unleash my full wrath on their heads let's see them try and burn me I'll send the spell right back...well not right back exactly but they will know pain." Yes she knew she was muttering, sounding a little crazy but after all this...if the magic council was going to monitor them as they'd said why did Masaki die!? They could have stopped it, she was certain, a spark of rage bubbled in her chest and that...that was not an emotion she was capable of handling, not one she was used to either, all her emotions were lighting up like live wires now that she had managed to open them up. She was almost regretting it, but she could deal now, she'd just have to figure out how to. She blinked, once, twice because she must have been going faster than she realized because suddenly the pair were in front of the mansion and then sizzle, crackle, crash! She'd heard it even as she had sensed it, Noah lightning bolted out of the sky with some tall man in tow but before Shiro could call out to him he was gone inside and she was rushing after him.
​

 
​

 She dashed up the steps, having finally relinquished contact with Phineas but only because she was curious why Noah was in such a rush. "Hey! Noah! Why are you busting into Maya's study? That's our Guild Master's private room. Why were you in such a hurry?" She had rushed in after him moments before he opened the letter that she had been reaching for to read but of course Maya had made an illusion of herself to read the note but...that had to be a trick right? Her chest constricted and she couldn't breathe, Maya was gone too, she'd left to destroy Grimoire Heart without even knowing one of her member's fate, more than that she no longer trusted the council which was a sentiment Shiro shared. She was still absorbing information though and yes she had lost all strength to stand so she was on her knees sort of trembling on the ground, she was...supposed to be Guild Master in Maya's place until she returned, no no no no, that wasn't right, she had done nothing to warrant such a...she couldn't do it. Her head was starting to ache alongside her chest now, Noah didn't speak to her about the note instead walking past to plop on the first step, she had followed apparently without realizing and really she was trying to organize her thoughts. Her beautiful purple hues closed to stave off the headache while she organized her mind in total silence.

Bastion had stopped and blinked when Noah had grabbed her shoulders and told her to calm down, she needed to she knew, knew it well and took a deep breath, as she did this she got a random and minor memory back, one where yes even as she had been whoever she had been she couldn't control her emotions, though now she understood better that it had to do with the hormonal imbalance in her system. She blinked once, focusing just in time to hear Noah tell her about Valken and Maya, a near mother/son pair, then barely braced herself when Noah told her he was going to teleport them to the mansion. She squeezed her eyes shut, heard the voice he often used and felt the weird dizzying sensation before stumbling back slightly, as she always did. She gave her head a shake, shaking her blue locks free just as she noticed a woman nearly a foot shorter than her rush past with white hair after Noah for some reason. Bastion sighed once and plopped on the floor, she was still a bit tipsy and needed to sit...might have needed food too but she wasn't too worried about any of that, the mansion looked wrecked though but she sighed, a single explosion popping off by her head, at least it was one and not several like she had been doing. Suddenly she was pissed about her lack of control and snapped her arms around herself digging nails into her arms before panting as she forced her emotions under control, giving herself a headache but she didn't care, she wasn't going to hurt anyone.
​

 
​

She waited patiently for Noah to return and she wasn't waiting too long, he came back and she looked up at him as he drunk from his flask looking a little lost or something she realized, "Noah...? What's wrong? Where's the one named Maya?" Her bright blue eyes only flicked to the woman sitting beside Noah for an instant before she focused on him again, though she hadn't spoken a word to the other person who had arrived with the small white haired girl either, a boy that looked like he was in pain. She was in pain too, not for the same people but she could connect with the sense of loss that permeated the air itself and yes she felt as if it was the most depressing place ever right then.
​

 
​

Bastion only twitched slightly when the white haired girl spoke suddenly, in a voice made for singing and that girl's attention was on Noah just the same as Bastion's was. "Noah...that's not the only bad news...you know that Masaki boy...? He...he was killed by the very people Maya is after. We need to tell everyone but...there's so much, too much." Bastion felt her breath seize in her throat, no wonder the air was so permeated with sadness here, they lost a guild mate, Noah was down over Kelica leaving, which is what she was upset over as well but Lamia Scale was being put through hell and she just found herself reaffirming that joining them would be wise.

​

Another reason for Celestia to hate herself for being so selfish, so much crap was going on suddenly and she was realizing how stupid she was, okay ignore that for now, "I'll meet you there I don't like flying much, my earthen magic doesn't like it when my feet are off the ground. Thank you though." Then she was off, dashing at the same speed she had been doing before all this happened, that's how it felt to her anyway, but funny enough each step left those flowers along the ground, strange enough it was all the hint one had that she was even moving along, because she had yes, vanished into the ground. She sped along under the confused crowd because they noticed flowers suddenly grow and vanish, she wasn't exactly aware of what she'd done either.
​

 
​

She had gotten a little too close though and yelped even as she popped out of the ground at the edge of the circle of nothing, the ground had been hot and had stopped her dead in her tracks once she hit it, now she backed up slightly and tilted her head back to look at the sky looking for Yamato and Kazuo, maybe to tell her a bit about what it looked like from above because she could tell them about how hot the earth itself was from the fury of whatever had caused the green smoke to rise. She did notice 3 magical signatures had recently faded from the spot though...but decided to keep that information to herself because she didn't feel like being the bearer of bad news. Death yes that's what it smelled like and felt like, she kept her eyes on the sky even as her expression darkened. Maybe...yes that was a thought, the evil magic signatures that had caused the destruction she could seek those out.
​

 
​

Yes her course of action was decided... she would have to tell Kazuo and Yamato just so they could pass the message on to Blue Pegasus. She placed her hand on her thigh, over that mark that was growing more precious to her by the day, this was a dark guild's doing and at this point shouldn't the light retaliate? Even if she didn't know who or what this was...it was still death and she hated death and if a dark guild had murdered these people they had to have been light mages right? She didn't dwell, yup she needed to talk to those two before she did anything, or she could just...vanish without a trace, that would worry them though but what if they told her not to? Argh she didn't need anyone's permission to do things but she didn't want to worry anyone either.

  Phineas felt the familiar comfort when Shiro hugged him before helping him up. The pianist took a look at her as they walked towards the mansion; she was muttering, a white light engulfing them both. Phineas managed to control his tears, but he was grimly stone-faced; not even the familiar sound of piano music would be able to wake him from this sort of stupor that he was in. Traumatized. That was the word. He was absolutely traumatized. 


  At the mansion, he spotted Noah bolting into Maya's study; Phineas felt his hand slip away from Shiro's. He instinctively ran after her, finally stopping when they arrived at the study. Shiro....was going to become guild master? Maya was leaving?


  A certain numbness surrounded Phineas; they had lost yet another of Lamia Scale. Shiro looked devastated by all of this. Phin knew she was going to be a great guild master, but, as per usual, he wasn't able to carve out the words. So he stepped over to his girlfriend, hugging her tightly. Why couldn't words form in his mouth when she needed them? When they needed them? Some form of reassurance, anything!


  A moment from him, then he let go, summoning his keyboard and playing one of the other songs Shiro had written. He took a couple minutes to glance back at the sheet to continue; there wasn't any guarantee that it would work in calming anyone. But it was worth a try. 










  By the middle, there was a portal opening dangerously close to Phin, this one to a beach. He didn't look at it for a second, but he could hear the sound of waves crashing, smell the saltiness of the sea. Once the song did end, he did take note of the portal before letting it disappear. Another spell...another way to contribute to the guild. 


  Too bad it was too pretty for him to want to shove members of Grimoire Heart into.

Yamato nodded to Kazuo's request and placed the bubble around him and himself. He was just about to do the same for Celestia but she said that she would go there on foot saying that she doesn't like flying very much. "Of course. Just be careful while you are there. The possibility of enemies is high in that area." Yamato and Kazuo flew up into the sky as he watched Celestia make her way underground with the flowers as a sign of where she was going. Once they were high enough to see over the buildings he brought the bubbles that himself and Kazuo resided in closer to the source of the green smoke. By the time Yama could see what was actually causing it he was horrified. "Dear god... So I was right..." The smoke was rising from a large circle and a completely scorched cottage bang in the middle of it. "Kaz... I have no doubts this is the work of a dark guild. I only want to ask why would they target Crocus on it's most prosperous time of year?" Yamato looked all over the ruins of the cottage trying to spot even the slightest hint of a survivor. By doing so he landed his eyes on Celestia who looked equaly as bad as he did. Yamato brought the bubbles down to the ground next to Celestia so they were together again. Although the moment he popped his bubble the smell of burning human flesh hit him instantly. "Celest you're here! Have you found any survivors?" Yama knew he was asking a pointless question. With this type of magic at play the chances of someone still being alive was extremely minimal. "Never mind... I already know the answer. However I recognise these faded symbols on the ground. This is certainly dark magic. Magic made for the sole purpose to kill and destroy... I..." Yamato stopped speaking for a moment. He almost said that he wanted to hunt down those responsible but that would prove fruitless. They don't know nearly enough information on who they were dealing with. Usually he would give one of his speeches to lift everyone's spirits in time of dread but with everything that happened in one day. Rosaline and Dorian leaving. Celestia and Kazuo are injured physically and mentally and now this... The loss of innocent lives. All of this weighed so heavily on his heart he just couldn't bring himself to say anything positive.

Eric listened to everyone's response and was slightly disappointed with Miles'. However Katherine and Tyson weren't having any of that. Kathy was trying to convince him whereas Tyson just used brute force by picking him up and carrying him. Lionel let out a huge roar from outside. It seems that he's certainly eager to go. Tyson shot an intimidating glare at Eric which caused him to flinch a little, he wasn't even sure if he meant it. "I uh... I saw it at the outskirts of Crocus. I remember that Masaki said he has a cottage out there somewhere so I'm just concerned. Anyway since Lionel is ready to go I'll see you all outside the hall." Eric ran out looking slightly worried for his former guild mate. As he ran out the doors Lionel towered over him but Eric wasn't that afraid of the big guy. He knew at this point that the dragon won't hurt anyone in the guild. "Hey big guy. We'll get to the bottom of this won't we?" After that he jumped onto Lionels back and waited for everyone else to come out so they can fly to their location.

"Fine, you don't take that long. Only when you really want some attention." Aiden wouldn't have Ashley pull him around the entire way so he took chare and started to roam around the streets with Ashley in tow. He looked are for a few moments and turned right leading to the entrance of the park. "Here we are princess Hart." He made a grand gesture to the lush park that had been so carefully taken care of over the years. Aiden let go of Ashley's hand to pick a five petaled flower, coming back to her he placed the flower in her hair. His fingers resting ever so slightly on her cheek he leaned in a gave a her a kiss. "How many time have I told you your beautiful?" He wispered in to her ear, while he quickly took a scoop of her butt and started to run away from her. A large smile was plastered on his face as he did. "Catch me of you can!" He mocked back at her was he went deeper into the park's paths.

Mtsuki thought she didn't know what the term "loli" meant but in all fact she really did. But it was merely the fact that she doesn't want to be called one. It's not like she wanted this to happen to her... Anyway he seemed to move on and talk to some of the others. Although Ayano's mind entered a blank state for a moment. Why was all of this happening? Why were people leaving? Is it because of her? Because she was once Grimoire heart.?


"That's exactly the reason."


"Huh?"


The voices had begun to speak up in her mind again. Attemting to weaken her mind. To take control.


"Don't you get it? It was a mistake doing this. One of these days you're going to get close to someone and end up killing them."


Ayano didn't want to reply. If she didn't reply then they would go away... Right?


"Not that there's any stopping you now... You seem to be too close to that Dragon Slayer and the weird boy already."


"I might have to remind you why you never let your emotions take control~"


"Go away..."


"Excuse me?"


"I said go away..."


Ayano couldn't bare to listen to these voices anymore. She couldn't bare to sleep through those nightmares anymore. At this moment people would only see Ayano talking to herself but in reality she was fighting a battle for self control.


"You're telling me to go away? Ha! You created me."


"You were lonely. Afraid. You needed someone. So you created me in your mind. A friend to help you through the hard times."


"Why can't ypu understand I'm the only friend you'll ever need?"


"You're only imaginary... You're not real..."


"Is that so... I may have been at one point. Although you are wrong."


"Now I am you. The REAL you. Not the fake you that believes there really is some hope left."


Ayano's battle came to an abrupt stop with the huge roar that filled the entire building. "What was that!?" However she learned it was chris in his Draco form trying to get everyone's attention. The reason is probably due to Lavender sitting on his back looking like she has something to say.

Mato; GMG Mascot
​

Once again the mascot of the GMG appeared on the various screens scattered around Crocus and those just so happening to be on the channel with the Games on. "Hello hello! You're favorite pumpkin headed mascot is here to tell you that sign ups to our arenas are now OPEN!!" He cheered. "Please head to the Domus Flau or talk to one of the many representatives around Crocus to sign up!" He said. "Due to the time that the first event must be held the space in-between will be filled with fights." He explained. "I hope you're all good at staying up late! Those of you on teams try not to exhaust yourself before tonight, you'll need all the energy you can get!" He continued, more-so warning everyone. "That's all for now, thank you for listening and have a fun time in Crocus!" He shouted, waving ecstatically until the screens stopped broadcasting him.

(This is not a timeskip or anything forced. Just a gentle nudge in the direction of the plot arc. Still tagging everyone that said they were following along that have quit for obvious reasons, so they can follow along)

  Nikolas remained in silent shock, unable to say anything. Not even when Bismarck came out with two huge dishes of fish, along with the ice cream sundaes and another round of beer. Something told Nikolas's father that they would need it. He silently placed the plates down, having recently been chewed out by the owner of the restaurant to please not take so long on writing the orders for the teenagers at Table Three. Then he walked away from the table, worry in his eyes. He had heard a bit of Nik and Phin's conversation, and he was scared. Scared for his sons and their safety. 


  Nikolas took an apprehensive gnaw out of his fish, then he nodded, an idea spawning inside his head. He gripped Ferra's hand, after searching his pockets, finding his contacts, and putting them in. "Ey, Ferra, how would ya like to flip off the assholes who took our friends from us? There's a buncha spray paint in my room back at Maya's that's screamin' my name."

Ferra wasted no time digging into her fish when it was placed on the table. She didn't exactly eat like an animal but she had stopped eating much slower than she was used to. She had of course thanked Bismarck too, but most of the sounds coming from her after was slightly audible chewing. When Nikolas gripped her hand she swallowed down the bite she had in her mouth and looked to him. She grinned at what he said then her expression slowly became more neutral, "We don't even know where they're at though." She replied. "And I'd rather not vandalize Crocus..." She said with a sigh. "We'd only end up getting arrested and hurt Lamia Scale's reputation more, or worse actually find Grimoire and get captured or killed." She continued. "It's just not worth it...everyone's been through enough already.." She finally finished. Normally she'd be all over the opportunity, but not this time. For once she wasn't exactly in the mood for it and had the tiniest bit of reason in her mind that it as a bad idea.

  Nikolas's face fell right when he saw Ferra's smile slip; he bit his lip, thinking of things to do to lighten the mood. "Hmmm...you're right, sooo instead of that, how 'bout we..." He transformed into his female form, causing Bismarck to shriek and drop the plate he was carrying to some rich woman, who didn't seem amused by the fact that her caviar had gotten all over her expensive shoes. Nikolas didn't take notice. "...Have a girl's day out? Shopping, spa, bathhouse, the whole ding-dang! I'll pay for it all, even! Still got some money left over from the last mission and I'm sure Pops could loan me some Jewel. RIGHT, STEWIE?"


  "....I am so sorry, ma'am, I promise I'll buy you new shoes...."


  "Never mind. He's busy. So, whaddaya say?" Nikki (as he called his female form) grinned at Ferra, hoping her plan would work.

Ashley rolled her eyes and happily walked with him through town and soon enough was coming up to a park "Woah.." she said, glancing at Aiden who made a grand gesture towards the park. He released her hand and left her only to return with a flower and put it in her hair and just as his hand rested upon her cheek, she leaned into this touch "Hmm... more than I can count which I dont mind..." she replied before he got a good feel of her butt which made her squeak before he ran from her, taunting her with his sexy grin "Oh you're gonna get it, Stone!" Ashley yelled out, running after him, laughing as she chased him within the park's paths. "Once I get my hands on you, you're gonna be sorry!" not really because she loved Aiden to pieces. She couldnt hurt him, even if she wanted to. The most she could ever do to him was slap his arm or his chest.
​

 
​

The ice make mage decided it would be a good idea to catch up to him faster and she stopped, putting her hand on the ground "Ice-Make Floor!" she yelled, watching as ice began to form and run ahead of her. With ease she backed up and then ran towards the ice, gliding right on top of it "I'm gonna get'cha!" she said with excitement, catching up to her boyfriend "Oohhh Aiiidddeeenn!" she called in a sing song voice

Ferra blinked and looked up when Nikolas spoke and turned into his female form, grinning a bit at what he had caused and giggling. She laughed a bit when Nikolas spoke of his plans and nodded, "Sure, that sounds awesome actually." She replied with a small smile. "After we eat though, 'kay?" She said. She still couldn't get over the fact that the female in front of her was her boyfriend, technically her girlfriend now she guessed? It was odd. "You better be glad I like how you look like that." She told him teasingly before continuing to eat. "But I don't want you paying for everything either, if you need money tell me." She added.

 

[TheHufflepuffRabbit]

  Nikolas grinned, putting a hand on her hip. "Nah, it's fiiine. I've got plenty of money as is. I'm not rich, but the amount I've got now is enough for us to act rich for a day," she added with a wink; she was now really digging into the fish, some of its scales getting into her face; it wasn't really the most dignified scene, but meh. "And yep~! Guess we're both girlfriends for the day! Feel free to call me Nikki! Ey, waiter! Can you get us the bill?" The nearby waitress, who was wearing a rather amused look on her face, nodded; Nikki leaned back in her chair, once again back to her normal, carefree self. 


  Optimism is a funny thing.

Ferra nodded slowly, "If you're sure Nik." She replied with a smile. Ferra's own face was covered in scales, well, the scales that hadn't gotten eaten along with the fish. Which were very few. She took a small sip of her beer when Nikolas mentioned them being girlfriends, giggling a bit and grinning. "Fine by me." She replied with a shrug. "Nikki~" She added in a teasing tone. She soon finished her fish and moved on to her sundae, eating it as relentlessly as she had the rest. Ferra was still somewhat depressed on the inside for sure though she was trying her best to cheer up, especially since Nikolas was doing such a good job of trying to help her.

  Nikki finished her fish a few seconds after Ferra, starting on the sundae quite eagerly. And grinning at the "Nikki" part. She sat up on the table, still eating the sundae, whilst casually flashing her undergarments to the world before shoving her skirt back down. Bismarck gave his son a weary look, then moved back to the kitchen to get a new plate of caviar for the lady he'd dropped it all over. "Cool! Once we pay the bill, we can leave at any time! Ohh~, this is gonna be so much fun! Whaddaya wanna do first?" She turned to grin excitedly at Ferra, her tail flicking back and forth in anticipation.

Tokine - Sabertooth Guild Hall
​

Tokine was sitting at one of the corner tables reading a book when she heard Sakura calling for her. The charm bracelet she had received from her firend for christmas was plainly visible on her right wrist. She almost always wore it; a testament to the value she held for the gift. The girl placed her dog themed bookmark on the page she left of on before getting up from her seat and walking towards Sakura. As she approached, Tokine wondered if Sakura had been recruited to be part of Sabertooth's Grand Magic Games teams. Tokine had been accepted onto one and she was secretly a little excited that she would get to interact more with her guild. As far as training, she had picked up a new trick over the course of the few months that had passed since the holidays. Hopefully it would help her overcome her disadvantage against more range focused opponents. When she was close enough to her friend, Tokine gave a small wave to greet her.

"Hello Sakura. Did you need me for something?" Tokine asked curiously.


@Mitchs98




 

Sakura looked over to Tokine with a smile and waved back, closing the gap and hugging her friend gently. "Yeah I did!" She replied cheerfully. "I got onto one of the teams and I noticed you did too!" She said with a cheerful smile to match her tone. She was clearly happy she'd be participating in the Games with Tokine even if not on the same team. They weren't going to compete against each other so as far as she was concerned it was the same thing as being on the same team, though she would of liked to of been on the same team with her. "This is kind of exciting, I'm curious to see how you improved over the past few months myself." She said. She then noticed she was wearing her bracelet still. Of course she had seen her wearing it almost constantly since she gave it to her which meant a lot to the girl. Tokine had been the hardest person to find a gift for simply due to her somewhat reclusive personality. "As far as I know from what I heard the first event won't start until later tonight..I wonder who's gonna fight in those arena battles." She said.
