John would smile brightly. Happy to be invited to something so soon. He felt like he might actually fit in.


"Sure. You know I think this is the first time a Lamia has been nice to me and not trying to eat or kill me."


John would suddenly look apprehensive.


"You're not trying to eat me right? Nah.. Of course not. Just let me set this luggage in my room and we can be on our way."


John smiles as he opens the door and simply places his suitcase inside, keeping his backpack with him.

Azure looked out a window, seeing the sky turning to twilight


"Actually..... I kinda have somewhere to be... and its kinda getting late, and I have a place to be, so you'll just have to go with John if he wants."


Azure began heading off to the courtyard, but stopped for a brief moment


"I'll be by my room later on, so I guess you could show John my room if you guys finish early with being at the cafe"


-... I don't really have any money there anyway..... besides a few scrapes I found here and there I guess... even so, its not a whole lot...-


He ran off, waving goodbye to Skyia and John... he hoped he was going to be able to see those two again... He eventually came into the courtyard, a bit early before 7:00, but he figured it'd be best to be early for this sort of thing. He stood out in the open and around the middle of the courtyard by a tree. He was anxious... he did not know what was going to happen. He looked around to see if he could spot Kylier, but he couldn't find him, she must of still be covered in her illusions, following at least Riff. He figured that she'd show up with the others naturally... He couldn't help but grip his Shadow Edge... he knew that it was his only way out if things went south. His breathing became somewhat labored, was all this getting to him that much?


He looked down at his hands, holding it in front of him, and saw that he was shaking... he knew that he was unnerved...


-I need....... to calm down...-


Azure shook himself out of his distress, he needed to be remain calm, and let out a soft whisper to himself...


"........ burn my dread..."


With a half-hearted gasp of air, he gritted his teeth, and composed himself as much as his body would allow him, Kylier will save him if needed..... she should save him if needed.................... would she save me...... if needed...?

 

[ComradeSenpai]

Laughter echoed through the courtyard.


"When they attack," Richter's voice called out from an unseen hiding place, "Try and run away quickly. And calm down; you're shaking like a baby deer."

 

[Advent Azure]

Azure didn't bother looking to find where he was, he understood that if you could be seen from hiding from here, you aren't hidden well enough...


-I got it, I got it...-


Azure took off the glove gauntlet on his right off... there were no markings or anything, there was a small speck of a dark mark on it, but it quickly faded away, until he hand became featureless of anything odd. He knew his body was ready


-I'm glad... I guess Kylier knew just how much magic she could pack me with before they came...... why does everything with her have to be about efficiency...-


Azure noticed that he got calmer now that his body was completely devoid of magic, with it all settling in his weapon once again, completely absorbed.


-Even if Kylier won't, Richter will do something...-


Azure manged to calm himself down far enough to make himself look as if everything was normal, it wouldn't do if he was being shaky, and they thought something was up.

 

[CSA]

Lily and Anya did not have to wait too long for Rose. A little longer than anticipated, but not too long. Given Lily's lifespan, it was forgivable.


"It's fine," Said Lily calmly "But sure, let's get going."


Rose seemed a little rushed. Elves lived pretty long lives and Rose was young, so she should spend her relaxing time relaxing right? Maybe she would be a little more chill when they got there, but one thing was for sure- the girl needed to learn to make the most out of her relaxing time.


The two got into Rose's car, which was admittedly pretty nice, and drove off. Lily liked heat, so she accepted when it was offered. There was less conversation than she had imagined, but it was fine with her. It gave Lily a chance to really look around as they rode. Some day, it would all belong to her. Lily would control the whole area... no, she would control everything.


When they arrived, Lily couldn't help but think how cute the little store was. Lily loved cute, and looked around with almost as much admiration as Anya.


"Wow, this place is adorable! I love it here."


Lily didn't technically have a stomach, but she at least would eat until her digestive enzymes had assimilated well over her quota of nutrients from the ingested matter.

 

[amdreams]

Rose smiled as Anya and Lily seemed to like this place. "I know, it's super cute, right? I've been eating here for as long as I remember." Turning back towards Belle, her eyes scanned the menu on the wall. There didn't seem to be any seasonal items or anything she hadn't tried before. So she'd probably go with her favorite of the lot. "I'll have the Fudge Volcano."


"Order anything you like," she told the two with her. "Everything is delicious, but I think I should warn you, some of the sundaes and cakes are enchanted. Nothing dangerous but it can sometimes get you by surprise."


~~~~~


Precisely at 7, Riff stepped into the courtyard. A quick glance revealed Azure waiting there. "Good evening, master Azure. Sorry but I'm afraid I couldn't come alone. Miss Mel insisted on coming, though she's promised not to interfere unnecessarily." He motioned to behind him. At first it seemed like no one was there, but on closer inspection, Mel stood there with Vash behind her. The white-haired boy waved amicably at the green-haired boy. "Hey Azure. We're here for your trap."


Riff frowned, pinching his forehead in annoyance. "Please ignore him. Now, what did you want to ask me?"


~~~~~


"You could try finding other people who like board games, too? I'm sure some of the other staff would like to get to know you." As Bunny saw the darkening sky outside the windows nearby, she looked down at her watch. It was nearing that time.


"Shift. I'm sorry, but I have something I have to do now, okay? Don't . . . don't follow me. Honestly, Mr. Richter picks on you enough as it is, and since I'm going to see him, it might be better if you didn't tag along. See you later?" The blonde then ran off, eventually switching to her wings to take her to the courtyard. It seemed everyone was already there before she had arrived. Well, at least Azure and Riff. She couldn't readily see the others. Though they were probably hiding. So taking a page from their book, she slipped behind a tree, peeking out from the side to watch.


There was really no telling what would happen, but she hoped it would go relatively smoothly.

 

[Advent Azure]

"... Right..."


-If isn't Mel attacking me on sight, then she had to be sensible... but... even if I say anything I doubt that they will change....... where's Kylier? I thought she was with them?-


"My first question..... you don't have to answer this one if you don't want to."


-If they really are a massacring force of nature... I'd be already dead... right?-


"Are you three truly killing people as you meet them left and right as I've heard?"


He did his best to keep himself calm when he said that, and it more or less paid off. He didn't care what the answer was, its going to be what its going to be, but that didn't stop him from hoping that its a lie. As accepting as Azure is, he'd like to think that they wouldn't be that sort of people.


-... naive Azure..... regardless hopefully his follow up questions will be better...-


Kylier was indeed nearby, but she didn't think she could have just openly fit in with Mel's group under the cloak of her illusions, he'd probably give her away some how unintentionally. She wasn't just hiding from Mel, she was hiding from Azure as well.

 

[amdreams]

Azure's question left Riff speechless. He glanced at Mel and back to the human boy, eyes narrowed and staring intently at him.


So the secret was out. Mel had mentioned someone possibly knowing her identity, but Azure certainly wasn't a blond vampire. Still, as non-threatening as he appeared, Azure still posed a threat if he knew. "I have no obligation to answer that. Though you should be careful who you make accusations of. Certain people might not take such things so well."

 

[Airagog]

John would notice the man leave clearly distressed as he motions to his shadow. It would silently leave and follow, taking the shadow of a nearby brush, completely invisible as it lies and listens. John would act as if nothing was amiss as his shadow leaves.

[Advent Azure]

-..... did they...?


"I did say you didn't have to... and I understand that you won't answer..."


Azure didn't really care what the answer ended up being, he personally just wanted everything to end quietly... but that sort of thing only happens in an ideal world... Still, he'd rather that he get an answer from them, but it looked like that wasn't going to happen. Even so, it was a little unsettling that they reacted the way they did...


"How were you able to just calmly face that..... ghoul from class, and look so composed... and cool... and kill it... am I right to assume that you've seen things worse than that creature, or that something like that is nothing in your eyes?"





-Something actually useful that he'd be more likely to answer I suppose... still, if he's still asking questions after he already said that he has no obligation to..... you truly are a naive fool Azure, why would he answer anything now that they know that you know about their secret-

 

[amdreams]

With Azure's new question, Riff stopped glaring at him. Instead, the look on his face was the same as the one he'd often given Vash, the one that said "Are you a ******* moron?" Even for a trap, no, especially for a trap, this was pathetic.


"If you're not going to take this seriously, then I'll just go. I honestly have better uses of my time." He turned to leave, but a voice called out, making him stop.


"P-please don't go!" Bunny ran out from her hiding spot. As she arrived after Riff explained Mel's whereabouts, she was oblivious to the girl standing in one of the dark corners of the courtyard. The angel had first believed the trap to be a bust, but thought it could still prove useful to bring the blond demon on their side or at least to gather information on their opponent. But if Riff left now, it'd be all for nothing. He'd probably go tell Mel and everything would fall apart.


Riff looked at what seemed to be a little girl standing in front of him and then to Azure. Was everyone in this "trap" a complete idiot? To think he would stay just because she ran out and told him to? But the boy decided to humor them. "And what business do you have with me?"


"I . . . uh . . . " Bunny didn't think he'd actually stay, and as this was a heat of the moment type of thing, she didn't know what to say. "W-why . . . why do you follow her?"


"Excuse me?"


"Why do you follow her? The Princess of Lucifer? Why'd you choose to serve someone as evil as her?" Riff was visibly angry now. Eyes narrowed. Fists clenched. And a vein nearly bursting in his forehead. And yet Bunny continued. "You should help us. We'll get you your life back. You won't ever have to do what she says again." As she said that, Bunny grabbed onto his arm.


And no sooner had her fingers touched his skin, Mel appeared in front of her, grabbing the angel's face and slamming her into the ground. "Don't touch my things."

 

[Goddess]

Naval walked outside of the school with books of wind and the meaning of life in her arms. Stopping by a tree she looked up toward the sky and gave a smile as a quick breeze moved past her, lifting up her two bangs and settling them back down a few inches above her feet. Sighing she had missed her new friend, that fire head. She frowned a little now seeing how she was knocked back to square one on the whole friendship ideal thing. She had met one who was sleeping but he didn't or wouldn't seem the type to hang around her for long. Naval shook her head before walking off toward the forest from the back of the school. Where was everyone anyways. Was her luck of running into people 5 percent. As she thought she aimlessly walked on through, looking at the ground as she had put in serious thought. She was small maybe that was it, a sylph. Maybe if she was a wearwolf, vampire, demon or something they would notice her.


Her train of thought was stopped as her forehead collided with a tree. Moving her head back she groaned a little.


"Ow..huh."


Looking around she laughed sarcastically as she saw nothing but tall trees, darkness and little red eyes disappearing then reappearing from behind bushes and trees. Backing up in to the tree she looked around for any trail any thing that could help her remember where she had entered from.


"Not again...love of god Naval do you not watch were your going. Now I'll be stranded like a sheep...I cant even fly yet. "

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"I've heard all I need to hear." Richter's voice echoed, as he seemed to emerge from the shadows. "I always had a feeling you three were bad apples. Now put my TA down. Her blood is mine alone, got it?"


He spun around the M79, pointing it forward. "Or perhaps you'd like a remedial lesson?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"!?! Bunny!"


Kylier couldn't help but smirk at this...


-It seems I was right to count on Azure's uselessness... she went in as I thought she would... and is going to be forced to fight, heh, if that didn't knock her out cold... she won't be able to rely on Azure's passive nature... and since there is still light out... Richter won't be able to act fully as well...-





-What do I do..... I know Kylier only wanted me to watch this happen... but what if she kills her? If I try to talk to her... she's just going to attack me next since..... because Kylier is Kylier...


Azure clenched his fist


-What is Kylier thinking... I'm an idiot trusting that something like this wouldn't happen-


Azure knew that he'd have to pay the price for defying Kylier later on, but that didn't matter to him right now. His only chance would be a sneak attack... and its all thanks to Kylier. Though the link of his weapon through his hand, he accessed the illusionary magic within his weapon, and cloaked himself under his illusions. He quickly grabbed his weapon off of him, it was dangerous for him to directly use the magic without using his weapon as a channel, as it causes the energy to flow back through him.


-I..... I can't stab her or anything... or use the technique Kylier told me since Bunny is there... and I'll get in trouble if I do anything overly violent before anyone is allowed to kill her yet right?-


Azure made sure to mute the sound he was about to make, and decided to charge at Mel, basically slamming his side into her to both knock her away and down, and while he was able to brace himself since he knew he was coming at her, she wouldn't have been able to tell, or at least in his mind.


He quickly put the handle of his weapon in his teeth, locking it steady, and cloaked Bunny as well, and took her out of the ground and onto his back and reached behind him and grabbed his hands together to lock her onto him so that he would be able to run with her relatively unhindered. He was glad that Bunny was small in size and her bust, or it may have been difficult or weird carrying her. As he went on his way to go back behind a tree to check on Bunny properly, he saw Richter step from behind a tree, and decided to stop behind the one he came from, out of sight for now


-Ah... good-


Azure went over to behind the tree out of at least Mel, Riff, and Vash's view, and uncloaked himself with Bunny, as to not further drain himself, took the weapon out of his mouth and into his hand, and spoke a little softly and quietly


"Sorry I sort of bagged and ran with you Bunny... are you alright? Are you awake?"





Azure heard what Richter said... and well..... it sorta shocked him a little in a weird sort of way


-....... what does Azure think he is doing... defying me like this...-


Kylier closed her eyes thinking, pinching the bridge of her nose softly


-I hadn't expected that he would actually do anything at all... I thought he would break down and run at the very least... how annoyingly unpredictable... I might just have to take credit for Azure's little stunt there to keep him out of harm's way...-





She sighed...


-This outcome is not desirable at all, but I have no choice but to work with it...-

 

[CSA]

Lily looked up and down the menu. What Rose was having looked good, and it probably was seeing as she seemed to be an expert on this place, but Lily figured she would just get Rose to share and try a variety of things.


To start, of course, she would have an old staple.


"I think I'll try a strawberry shortcake to start, please." Said Lily, slithering over to a table.

 

[amdreams]

Azure's tackle had taken Mel by surprise, making her let go of the angel and fly toward the side. However, a quick roll and she was back on her feet. But no matter how soon she was able to react, the damage was done. She could no longer see Azure nor that idiotic angel, "Bunny" the boy had called her.


Richter then came, and though he had a gun pointed at her, Mel seemed to ignored him. Instead her eyes scaned her surroundings, trying to find the two that escaped her. They couldn't have gone that far.


~~~~~


It was Riff who addressed Richter, staring down the barrel of the man's gun with no visible shred of fear. "And here I thought teachers couldn't issue corporal punishment." His jaw tightened as the vampire said he had always known that the three of them were "bad apples". What was that supposed to mean? The man only talked to Riff a few times, taught three classes and yet he was so sure that he was bad? Disgusting. Typical "hero" behavior.


~~~~~


Before Bunny could even tell what was going on, the back of her head hit the ground and she was then being carried away. When she came to her senses, she saw Azure and no one else. Did . . . did it end already? Man, her head hurt.


"I-I'm fine," she told Azure, rubbing the back of her head. She looked around more, trying to find any instance of someone or what happened but didn't see anything. She could hear voices though, both male. "Just a bit of pain but I think I'll be alright. What happened?"


~~~~~


The woman took note of Rose and Lily's orders. "One fudge volcano and one strawberry shortcake. And what would you like, Anya?" She looked down at Anya with a kind smile. "What about a Strawberry Sunrise? Does that sound good to you?"


After the neko placed her order, Rose went over to the table Lily had chosen. Once settled, she watched as Belle went back into the kitchen to get everyone some hot chocolate. The shimmer of her gossamer wings sparkling more under the lights of the shop. The woman soon came out with a tray of 3 steaming mugs and a small bowl of marshmallows. She placed a mug before each of them before going back into the kitchen for their orders. "They'll be ready soon."


Each mug of hot chocolate had a picture drawn on it in milk, like cafe art. Rose's mug had a picture of a rose, Lily's a lily, and Anya's a cat. Rose smiled before taking a sip from her mug. "It's cute, isn't it? Belle makes the best hot chocolate in the kingdom."

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Well, maybe I'm just old fashioned." the vampire's eyes narrowed. He stood still for a brief moment.


The M79 fired with a loud THUMP, firing its load towards Riff. Not letting up, Richter opened the breech, ejecting the shell as he drew his revolver, firing a trio of slugs.


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


"A strawberry sunrise sounds good." Anya replied, looking around the shop. It was with glee she received her hot chocolate; even when not sipping, she held it close to her mouth, preparing her burnt tongue for another.

 

[Advent Azure]

Azure smiled, then sighed in relief and continued to talk quietly... his weapon is glowing in his hand


"I went up to Mel and knocked her away from you, then quickly brought you over here from behind this tree"


Azure looked around the tree a bit to see Richter, firing at them, he didn't like that he was already trying to kill, but he supposed that it really couldn't of been helped...


"Its good to hear that you are fine though"


-Ha... poor Richter, oblivious his Vash's ability of telepathy... or maybe he believes Vash won't be prepared or fast enough to stop the bullets...-


"Richter has their attention, right now, and they don't know where we are, I think they think we ran or something... so if something happens, we might be able to do something without them expecting it"


Azure took off his right gauntlet for a little bit, to see that the marks currently were across his entire hand... that short period he used magic without his weapon already had an effect on him, but its still relatively nothing. He put it back on, watching Richter

 

[amdreams]

The fairy woman soon came out with everyone's orders. A strawberry shortcake for Lily, 3 layers of spongecake, strawberries and creak, with a drizzle of strawberry sauce and a berry cut to mimic a flower on top. A fudge volcano for Rose, which looked like just vanilla ice cream in a sundae glass at first, before, with a bit of magic, hot fudge bubbled from the top of the ice cream and flowed down the edges. And finally a strawberry sunrise for Anya, a tall clear glass with a strawberry sorbet at the bottem that faded as it went up the glass to make way for lemon sorbet, its colors mimicing the cocktail of the same name. On top of the dessert was a lemon flavored wafer disc which gave a faint glow, made to look like the sun rising out of the sorbet. "Enjoy, girls. And tell me if you need anything else."


Rose gladly took a spoonful of her dessert, already forgetting why it is she and the others even came here. "So, what do you guys think? It's good, right?"


(Sorry for the sucky post here.)


~~~~~


Riff stood his ground as the shots and grenade were fired. Transparent scales quickly covered his skin, allowing Riff to take them on with little effect. It did leave tears in his clothes but that was easily overlooked.


Behind him, Mel was gone, having run off as Richter fired. Not out of fear of being hit, but to go look for the ones that got away. Riff knew that she didn't know where they were. He himself had no clue. Their scents were mixed with that of gunpowder and were being tossed around with the breezes. But if Mel wanted to find them, she most likely would though it might take some time. Her instinct was oddly reliable when there was someone she really wanted to hurt. She'd be fine on her own. He trusted that. Meanwhile, he had his own objective to deal with. Vash would be forbidden to interfere until something changed, so Riff was on his own for now.


"What did you mean by that? That you always knew that we were 'bad apples'? And who even uses that term anymore?"


~~~~~


"I . . . I see . . . " Bunny tried to process everything Azure was telling her, and the throbbing headache wasn't helping. She got attacked. Azure helped get her away. Richter was now facing all of them alone.


"We have to help him. Even if this is just to get permission to deal with her for good, we need to get away with as little damage as possible." The angel stood up, her legs shaking only a bit as she tried to balance herself. She pulled a whip from under the skirt of her dress. "Now where are th . . . "


Bunny's eyes went wide as her voice trailed off. A small snap had made her look up in the tree they were under and there was Mel, looking down at them. "Found you~"


Mel seemed to be ignoring Azure for now, focusing her eyes on Bunny, or rather the angel's arm. Bunny jumped back as Mel jumped down and charged for the angel. The blonde tried cracking her whip in defense but Mel grabbed it and used it to pull the angel toward her, giving the girl a quick knee to the abdomen.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

Richter loaded another grenade into the M79. "I've seen enough mirrors to recognize the eyes of a killer. And hers especially are filled with malice." he said, holstering his weapons. "Of course, there are quite a few unsavory types here, me included, but you lot are among the few to act on your selfish desires."


The vampire decided this one might need a hands on approach. He drew out and reloaded his revolver, then opened his mouth, revealing a gaping maw of jagged fangs.


His body swayed a bit before lunging forward, emptying every chamber at his target.

 

[Advent Azure]

-Hmm... quite an interesting ability that Riff has...-





Kylier looked over to see Mel beside her...





-Did she somehow detect me? No... she's just targeting those two... Azure honestly should have just went all out with the Shadow Blast... so what if Bunny is in the crossfire...-


Azure gasped in surprise at the sound of Mel breaking the branch, looking up instantly at her, and watched, stunned trying to think of what he could do. It seemed that Bunny was her target, but, she'd probably come for him after he was done with her


-Ugh... I need to do something... but if I use the technique right now, Bunny is going to get caught in the blast... I got to try to restrain her or something-


While Mel was attacking Bunny, Azure used his dagger to cloak himself once more, grabbed the arm of Bunny that Mel was holding and kicked her in the side, to knock her away, and ran with Bunny for a distance, with his weapon pointed at her


-I'm gonna have to do it... she's just going to keep on fighting while she has strength in her isn't she-


"Mel... we don't have to fight... can't we just talk!?"


-I really wish I had other magic to use than this... I don't think the magic I got from that one thief is going to help...-





Kylier dropped down from her hiding spot, still cloaked of course. Just because she was out of the way and hidden doesn't mean that you can't have a little insurance, especially since Mel would have found her if she wasn't. She regretted not messing with Mel while she was there, but this was a time of restraint for her, but not the time for Azure to restrain himself... She went over toward a wall opposite of where Azure was, and sat down, letting him know that she's watching... and hopefully disappointed in him...


-Ugh... what does she want!? Ugh... she's...-


Kylier began forcing her illusion magic on Azure again, causing him to absorb it, causing his weapon to shine.


"Ugh... Kylier..."


Azure couldn't help but mutter that under his breath, he knew that she was waiting for him to use the technique...

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"This is good!" Anya said, digging into her dessert. The cat had managed to smudge sorbet onto her cheek even this early on in the meal. "Lily you gotta try this!" she held out a spoonful for the alraune to eat.

 

[CSA]

Lily couldn't help but smile at the little picture of a flower drawn so carefully in her mug. She took a quick glance at Anya's and Rose's- the pictures seemingly personalized. Lily had to admit- Rose could certainly pick 'em.


Lily took a sip, and quickly agreed with Rose.


"It's absolutely adorable, and this hot chocolate is really good."


What's more, Anya really seemed to like it. That was the most important thing, considering why they had come here in the first place. They quickly received their food, and Lily dug right in. While she couldn't taste her own nectar, she was able to taste sweets just fine- and these sweets were good.





"It's great, Rose. I'm really glad you showed us this place- I'll probably become a regular once I can drive."


Lily looked on as Anya enjoyed herself. She was glad, but really wished that Anya could go a meal without getting food all over her face. When the Neko offered a bite of her food, Lily gladly accepted.


"Sure, I'd love a bite." Said Lily, taking her bite from the spoonful that Anya offered.


"Oh, it's good! Would you like to try some of my shortcake?" Lily asked, holding out a spoonful of her own dish.


Lily would ask Rose for some of hers after. She was in a sweets mood, and that fudge looked decadent.

 

[amdreams]

Rose smiled, happy that everyone was liking this place. Sadly, as great as this place was, it wasn't nearly as popular as it should be. Even now there were only two more customers here, a teen couple on a date at the other side of the restaurant.


"That's good to hear, Lily? When you get your license, I'll let you borrow my car."


"Would you guys like to try mine as well?" she asked after watching Anya share her dessert. Rose didn't need to try theirs as she has ordered every item Sweetie Belle's had to offer over the years. She pushed her sundae toward them to allow Lily and Anya to dip their spoons in.


"Is there anywhere you guys want to go while we're still in the city? Once we get back, I can only imagine it'll be hard to find time to get here. What with student council and neither of you being old enough to drive yet."


~~~~~


Riff glared at Richter. Malice? Selfish desires? Well, it was obvious this man wanted a fight and Riff was more than willing to give him one. Besides, Richter had insulted Mel enough.


"Is that supposed to scare me?" Riff asked in response to Richter's fangs. "Well, I'm sorry but it'll take more than that."


Richter began firing again, and though Riff was protected with his scales, he moved to dodge this time. As he moved, he planted his hands on the ground, freezing it to form a smooth surface. He then had ice form up his hands and arms to make himself some claws, swiping the air to shoot out his "fingers" at the vampire.


~~~~~


When Azure attacked, this time, Mel was ready for him, or rather anticipated an attack. Though not seeing him, she held up her arm instinctively to block him. The kick was still enough to push her aside though. And once again, they disappeared. Well, one of them must have an invisibilty power or something similar.


As she began looking around, Azure's voice called out, asking for a peaceful resolution. She didn't recognize the voice, but given her situation, she could infer that it belonged to the boy who kept getting in the way.


"We can talk once I break that *****'s arm, boy. So why don't you come out to play?"

 

[Advent Azure]

Azure remained silent for a time... he wasn't sure how someone could have such a violent state of mind despite all that Bunny said about her. Azure was always somewhat of a pacifist... actually, that's a lie. He only ever used fighting as a sort of last resort, but even then, he always thought that things didn't have to be fixed with fighting. That never stopped him when he had to though, he couldn't afford to be a coward in this lifetime. Its because of this that a timid personality doesn't fit Azure, its only a bad trait he developed because of his upbringing. Now's the time to grow out of that though, and accept whatever will happen.


-I don't want to kill her though... maybe, the blast will be enough if its just near her...-





Azure looked back at Bunny, worried about her condition, and spoke quietly


"Bunny, how are you doing...?"


-..... how unusual, he should have far exceeded his magical limit by now...-


-I got to use it... Kylier isn't going to give me a choice...-


A purple energy enveloped his weapon, as something akin to a magical charge of dark purple and black energy appeared in front of his weapon at its tip. The toll from trying something new along with his illusion magic was great, and he was never good at juggling magic in the way that Kylier could, even if she could only do illusions. Right before he was about to blast Mel, the gathered energy overwhelmed Azure, and he dropped his illusionary magic on him and Bunny, appearing in front of Mel at somewhat of a distance as he fired a fast concussive blast of energy at Mel's feet.


-Heh... there you go Azure... I wonder how she'll handle unstable explosive magic...-
