Butting heads with five heads of Ladon

Zack stood atop a large building observing the chaos below. Many dragons roamed below. Many mages faced against them, but Zack had not yet intervened. All of the opponents seemed the same level of strength and none of them really made an impression on him. He'd faced a lot of opponents in his time and he preferred the stronger ones. They were much more fun to fight. That's when he saw a group of five surrounding a group of civilians. Nobody was nearby and so it was up to him to intervene. Five seemed like an appropriate level of challenge for him. He saw one about to launch a blast of some energy from its mouth and grinned. Time to act fast. The only way he knew how. He flew like a bullet landing beneath the dragon and then flew upwards at the last moment headbutting it in the jaw and forcing its mouth closed. The result caused the spell to back fire generating an explosion within the beast that dazed it.

"Get clear." Zack ordered as he flipped round kicking the dragon in the side of the head to send it stumbling into one of the others. "I'll deal with these little lizards." The civilians nodded, they needed no second bidding, and ran for their lives. Zack landed in the middle of the five and grinned.

"So then..." he said pulling his favourite sword, the black sword Nobility of Notus from his eye, "...whose first?"

"Pathetic human. You think you are a match for the hundred heads of ladon?" one said fire glowing in its mouth. Zack raised an eyebrow then grinned.

"Why do you grin human?" One said in a feminine voice foam forming at its lips. "Do you not realise the situation you are in? You are no match for the hundred heads of ladon."[/color]

"Well. A hundred might be pushing it a bit, even for me, but right now, I only count five. Should make a good warm up."

"HOW DARE YOU MOCK US!" the fire one said launching a huge ball of fire at Zack. Zack quickly assumed a baseball stance with his sword and swung it launching the ball of fire away from himself and into the face of the one he had headbutted earlier.

"If that's your best shot then quite easily." he said and kicked off the ground faster than the dragon could cope with and launched a powerful uppercut to its jaw causing it to stumble back a bit. This also allowed him to continue accelerating upwards to avoid the thin but powerful jet of water that had been launched at him. Instead it hit the fire dragon causing it to roar in pain and agony. "Ah this is going to be fun."

"Glad you're getting some amusement from these bafoons..." A voice spoke. The voice carried beyond frightened civilians, and proceeded in attempt to draw the attention of five dragons ahead. Five dragons? What an interesting set of bafoons, indeed. They surely weren't a set of bafoons to underestimate, but bafoons, nonetheless. The voice ran more violemtly through the dragons, bypassing their gigantic forms with a smooth dash through their huge legs. The aggrevated demons tried to stomp on the voice, though it continued to evade their foolish movements. It continued to move whilst the soothing wind followed, running up a jade dragon alongside the voice- on the tail, specifically. The voice identified itself as the ugly sound of a sword stabbed itself in the back of a dragon's neck, then crossed around the creature's chest and back in a rapid maneuver, the sword pulled at full force while it sliced through the pest.

The dragon fell back and grunted loudly, holding onto itself tightly in pain while a smirk crossed the face of the new identity. This new identity was the presence of Blue Pegasus' storyteller: Seitenshi Ayato. He had smirked due to a folk who he hadn't seen until now, though it was highly recommended from the guild. From what he had seen, the man was strong, after all. The dragon that had just recently been taken down was the dragon furthest away from the dragon who was speaking aggressively with Ayato's upperclassman. "You picked the wrong town to cause havoc in." Ayato made clear, "And now it is time to meet your rightful punishments." Ayato sprinted carefully towards his fellow guild member, and distanced himself from the dangers interfering with the peace of their guild. Another smirk appeared on the boy's face, determined to fight more than he ever had before. He had a feeling other guild mates were out putting their lives at risk to prevent the loss of civilians in the town. This was but one of the codes Blue Pegasus stood for.
"Two Pegasus; five Dragons- Who shall win?" Ayato asked rhetorically. A toothy grin was born from his earlier smirk as the dragons all clinched their mighty fangs, in response. Zack had done a great job weakening them, already, and now a storyteller was here for his aid, a priceless, yet dangerous book in his left hand, and a light, yet life-threatening sword in his right. Two determined fighters now stood on the platform to have some fun from what was actually chaos in the town. Now this was interesting.

Zack grinned as he saw another member of the blue pegasus, a swordsman no less, join in the fun and make quite an entrance. "Nice of you to join me. Now shall we show them why the Pegasi rule the skies?" he rose up into the air and lifted his eye patch once more. Now he had a black sword and a green sword in his hand. He flew at high speed straight at the fire breather. He seemed the most aggressive and fire was the most likely to do collateral damage. Plus it was also the biggest threat to him. "Sky King's Sword." he said covering his body in an aura of wind that accelerated him further. He was like a human spear and he hit the dragon head on just as it was about to launch another fireball. He hit it in the open mouth. It tried to close its mouth on him, but he quickly struck out with both swords and used another attack. "Death by Slicing." he said and sliced two rough heptagrams into the beasts inside mouth in the space of a second. As soon as the heptagrams were cut they blasted the dragon with magic and forced its mouth open allowing him to leap out. The dragon spat in anger and to its surprise spat out most of its teeth and a large amount of blood. It roared in agony and anger, but it wasn't yet down and out. That's when he heard another roar from behind him.

The water dragon he had tricked into attacking the fire dragon had launched an attack. It was too quick for even him to dodge and he was trapped in a bubble of water for a moment. That was when another one struck with lightning. The effect wouldn't have been too bad if he hadn't of been trapped in water. The effect shot through him and he felt some definite damage. It wasn't enough to bring him down though. The shock did however remove the bubble and it did something else too. It made Zack serious. "So you guys want to play rough huh?" He had been holding back a bit to enjoy the fight, but it seemed he had underestimated them. Any one of them would be a piece of cake, but teamed up they posed a definite threat. He quickly backflipped charging air in his hand. "Sky King's Lance." he said and launched a beam of air at the heavily weakened fire dragon. It covered the distance easily and caused a large explosion enough to bring it down.

"One down. Who wants to be next?" Zack said rising into the air once more. He dodged to the side avoiding a blast of ice from the one that Seitenshi had damaged. Ice, Water, Electric, Fire. What was the fifth one? It had not spoken nor had it performed any actions. Perhaps it was still dazed from when the lightning one had been knocked into it. He called out to Sei. "Can I leave the ice one to you for now bud?"


"You brought down our brother, but that means nothing. He will be reborn." The lightning one said as it shot a bolt of lighting at him. Zack merely threw one of his swords and it caught the bolt. He moved it down using telekinesis into the ground earthing the bolt before he returned the blade to himself. "You have tricks human, but we are Ladon and you are no match for us."

Magic:

"Yes we shall." Ayato responded. He was going to have a jolly time with these dragons, especially with the help of one of the guild's upperclassmen. Ayato let his sword down for a moment while he watched Zack make his charge. The man had astonishing expertise with his own two swords, it seemed. In fact, it inspired the boy. Ayato was eager just by this very moment to learn how many sword styles Zack knew, as his techniques seemed flawless against the dragon he was fighting. Zack was fighting the dragon as if it were almost nothing compared to him, and without much emotion, either. Zack seemed impenetrable, spiritually, which brought forth a brighter reason as to why Blue Pegasus was a great choice to reside in.

When a dragon was finally slain, Ayato stared up at the ice dragon Zack had asked him to challenge. Ayato prepared himself as he drew his sword forward, and positioned himself as if he were about to participate in a relay. The dragon immediately launched its arm towards Ayato, though Ayato had anticipated the sudden movement, just as he expected from the dragon prior. However, Ayato gasped when he saw that the dragon had smirked even in response to its missed target. Arrows of ice shot out from its back as Ayato was forced to slice through them rapidly with his sword. Albeit, a swift lance of ice was hurled Ayato's way, which left him no choice but to use his first spell. "UNSHEATHED SEEKER!" Ayato called. A black hole instantaneously appeared in the sky, and absorbed the ice shot that had attempted to kill Ayato, sending it to a new world nobody knew about- not even Ayato, himself. This dragon was far too superior to the dragon Ayato had fought before, though he still had plans to win, and kept persevering.

Ayato landed roughly on the ground after the burst of ice attacks the dragon before him had unleashed. Had he been forewarned of the dragon's power, Ayato bet this dragon would have been slain by this point. Unfortunately, life was not fair, and so Ayato had to deal with the current circumstances, anyway. He could not admit defeat! He had to fight until the end! Ayato ran at full force towards the dragon while it unleashed yet another rampage his way. This next formation was a shield that fired arrows of ice, which Ayato had to block this time solely with his arms crossed before his face. The ice lances ran past the ends of his arms and hips, leaving wounds all over his upper body. Luckily, there was a power only a few could possibly understand that Ayato possessed. A green aura surrounded Ayato moments after being hammered with ice. The wounds healed perfectly, though Ayato still felt the agony in his inner self of being penetrated by the element. Ayato felt slower in his body as the coolness of this ice dragon overwhelmed his body heat. "Y-You jerk..." Ayato commented, infuriated beyond any extent he had felt before. Understanding that the town's lives were in danger upset him to no end, so there was no way the boy could forfeit. Even though the dragon seemed to have him pinned to a corner, everyone had potential, and while the dragon was unleashing its inner strength, Ayato was about to unleash his.

"This is why the Pegasus rule the skies." Ayato remarked. He sprinted wildly towards the dragon, switching angles to run whilst he maneuvered himself for a direct assault at the dragon. Again, the dragon formed an even bigger shield to not only protect itself, but shoot a series of arrows in Ayato's way. Ayato did not let the arrows harm him this time, however, and slashed through the first arrow violently with his sword, hurling the pierces back to collide with another arrow, and shatter that one, as well. The dragon became angry, and began to send boulders of ice towards the storyteller. The boy smirked, and immediately launched himself on top of the boulder, then bounced off to bypass the large shield, and aim straight for the dragon. "IMMORTAL BLOOD!" Ayato cried. His finger ran down the edge of his sword for a split second, giving it a slight cut, though blood streamed down the blade, and splashed onto the dragon's head before Ayato's incredible descending speed had the sword pierce into the dragon's head. The blood turned into a decaying effect, which in this case, would make the ice turn into water, and literally flush the dragon out of its misery. The dragon roared in defeat, and fell with its head now made entirely out of water. Ayato had defeated it, though he had taken a toll on his body, as well.

Unsheathed Seeker: 3-post cool-down

It seemed his ally had quite an interesting magic. Even with his eyepatch, that normally allowed him to read magic auras and identify their type, he did not recognise it. He had a vast knowledge of magics gained from years of fighting, but this one seemed strangely unique. It made him think of stories for some reason which was quite odd. What was even more odd was that this man appeared to share the same bloodline as Zack himself. It was a bloodline that healed the user, but made it near impossible to have a physical relationship as it poisoned whoever they touched. Still, his ally had made good use of it to defeat the ice dragon and now it was time for Zack to bring down these opponents. He decided, for the time being, to ignore the fifth dragon, the one that had not spoken nor acted the entire time he had been here. Instead, he turned his focus to the water dragon. Without the water dragon's aid the lightning attacks of the other dragon would not have been nearly as effective.

This seemed like Zack was thinking logically, but in fact he was relying purely on instinct. He grinned to himself and lunged at the water dragon. It let forth huge jets of water from small gaps on its shoulder and from its mouth. He hadn't expected that, but he did not let it phase him and activated another one of his more powerful spells. "Armour of the Sky King" This generated an aura of wind around him that didn't defend directly against the attacks like most armours, but instead caused the attacks to flow around him. It was much more effective than blocking. "So i'm no match for you huh? Well, let's see how you feel after this." He prepared both his swords sending magic flowing into them. "SKy King's Fists, DEATH BY PIERCING." Instantly he was coated by a crimson aura laced with white and then launched his sword attacks. Rather than the rapid series of slashes he had used to form the two heptagrams earlier this was a rapid series of piercing strikes intended to get underneath the scales. He launched nine strikes per blade, but these were launched not just rapidly but almost instaneously. Almost as if he only launched one strike and it did nine attacks. The dragon roared in agony as the increased strength pierced deep into its hide beneath the scales causing blood to pour out. Yet it was also its death throes for some of the strikes had pierced its eyes and caused brain damage.

"You were saying Sparky?" Zack said with a grin.

"Enough." The fifth dragon said speaking. "Come to me heads of ladon. Become one like we were before." The four other dragons, dead or alive, glowed in their various elements and then turned into orbs of light which shot into the speaker. It glowed a bright vivid rainbow like colour. Almost blinding and when the glow faded it had increased in size and now had five heads. It had become a much more powerful entity. Five elements in one and five times the power.

"BOW BEFORE LADON." it roared from all five heads at once. Zack just grinned and shook his head causing the beast to growl and launch off an energy beam of each element from its various heads. He  dodged most of them, but got hit by a light beam across the shoulder cutting into him deeply. Like with Sei this healed quite quickly, but he still felt the pain.

"Wow, looks like things might actually get a little tough today. You ready buddy?"

Magic:

Three dragons were eliminated at this point, seemingly dead where they stood- one without a head, in fact. The two Blue Pegasus Mages had successfully beaten two of their five enemies, though Ayato was a bit suspicious as to why these dragons were so easy to defeat- they were dragons, after all. The only reason Ayato had taken so much damage from the ice damage was due to a second of fear, which the boy would not allow a second time. Ayato scanned the remaining two dragons, one who had yet to even make a move. However, when it made a certain call, everything changed. The supposed-deceased merged with the more-lively dragons, and created a supreme five-headed dragon.

"Ladon..." Ayato commented, "So this is your power, huh?" Fire, water, ice, lightning and-- what? Ayato looked at the middle head between the four surrounding, the dragon who had yet to make a move while the five dragons were once split. Considering the five dragons had gathered themselves together in a ray of light, this fifth dragon had to be a dragon of light, himself. Ayato had an epiphany, and observed the dragons again. The water dragon was the supplement to the other five dragons, while the ice dragon was the shield. The fire dragon was the offense from the ground, while the lightning dragon was the offense from the sky; two offensives and two defensives. However, if Ayato could recall, the dragons were all too slow to react to his upperclassman's maneuvers, which meant...

"The speed of light..." Ayato added. For a moment, Ayato had assumed the two Mages were in a corner, but then he considered the fact of weight. This dragon of light was a fool. Had it been in a singular form, the two would have been in deep trouble. However, now that it was merged with four other dragons, altogether, the light dragon's speed would probably reduce itself exponentially with every sudden movement, and its immunity system was probably much weaker. Ayato smirked, and watched as Zack took on the first assault, himself. Already, he had been hit by one of five consecutive attacks, but like his other hit, Zack took it with ease. Ayato was proud to have a companion with such willpower.

Unsheathed Seeker was the first step to three spells even stronger than itself, the third being stronger than the second, and the fourth and final spell being stronger than the rest, combined. This was Chapter One in Ayato's book of spells. Ayato stood his ground at this point, and awaited the dragon's movements. The dragons probably aimed to make the two move so they could waste minimal energy to direct hits. However, Ayato would not allow that a second time, especially on his behalf. A presence of magic surrounded his well-being while he was on the defensive side, and the boy guarded himself by positioning his sword crossed before his chest, the book held firmly in his other hand. The second of four spells was about to be unleashed. All Ayato could do now was await the next move of Ladon. "These dragons may be tough, but we are even tougher." Ayato concluded.

The five dragons had combined into one. It was certainly an impressive ability, but to Zack it made them into one big target. It was a shame none of the elements it used were air. He could do with a snack. Monsters. No sense of the situation. Quite rude for it not to bring magic to provide him with food. Ah well, it was time to bring this beast down. He observed it briefly through his eyepatch and was surprised at the power he could see. The creatures before had probably been around B rank, an easy match for him. However, their combined power put them to probably about the equivalent of 2.5 S ranks, so twice his own strength. Five B ranks would normally make around 1.5S anyway but it had somehow gained a bit of extra power. An entire S rank's worth.

That made it over twice his power in terms of raw magic and it had five elements compare his one. If he'd been a dragon slayer this would of been no problem, but this...no this was going to be a bit tougher. Would he give up now? Of course not. The dragon was already looking around, observing the area looking for people to eat. He couldn't let it harm Clover Town.

He'd already lost one guild. One home. One family. He would not lose another. It was time to really kick things up a notch. "So you got a trick up your sleeve huh?" Zack said dispelling his Sky King's Fists. "Well let's see how you handle this." A huge aura magic power rippled around his body. The very air around him shone white and he radiated pure magic power. "SKY EMPEROR'S MANTLE."

This was Zack's ultimate buff. A technique said to be designed to slay demons. Well, he might not be up again demons today, but he was sure the strength would help him slay this five headed dragon. He flew towards it like a bullet. It roared out launching a rainbow blast of energy, but he swerved out the way and his his biggest threat swords first. The blades, combined with his strength tore through the flame head killing it off. Strangely, the magic power of the creature didn't decrease. However, it did seem to have lost the power to launch fire techniques and that suited him fine. "That all you've got?" It went to bite him with two of its heads, but he faded into nothingness causing them to bite eachother. He appeared on its back standing their waiting.

"Biting yourself...that's just plain silly Ladon." It growled and then to his surprise turned its attention from him and toward Sei. It seemed it wanted to take him out in order so it could focus entirely on Zack.

"WATCH OUT!" Zack shouted and leapt up slamming down on one of the heads. It wasn't as powerful as he would of liked, but it did manage to knock prevent that head launching an attack. The ice, lightning and light attack did manage to launch off an attack though. It was going straight towards Sei. He wanted to protect his ally, but it would be difficult to do so. He just had to hope that Sei could withstand this attack or do something to avoid it. "Good luck." Zack whispered.

Magic:

Again, Ayato and Zack were simultaneously striking the opponent before them, yet Ladon was so strong that it was very difficult to defeat. Though the ice dragon had been beheaded, frankly, it still had one strike left before it would be rendered useless on Ladon's body. Light, ice and lightning: these were the three elements heading towards Ayato, and he only had a second to think. Ayato swiftly dropped his sword, then launched himself west, where he barely evaded the attack. Ayato was in pain due to that launch, though for the sake of his guild, he got up fast. The Elucidator had told him to drop the sword and so he did- now Ayato saw why. The sword was made of metal, and so it would conduct the electricity, and focus the blast solely on the item, itself. Meanwhile, the sword always stayed in perfect condition, hence the sword would take no damage. The impact, however, left the sword on a pillar of ground, while the surface surrounding was at least thirty meters below where the sword stood, water overflowing slightly atop the ground, itself. Ayato observed the ice dragon, who now had washed itself clean- literally- bursting into water, which flowed down Ladon's back. Now there were only two dragons left as far as Ayato knew, though he always questioned the condition of the fire dragon Zack had dealt with. Was it defeated yet? Albeit, Ayato had more matters to attend to.

Seeing as the electricity had burst off of the sword due to the properties of the Elucidator, Ayato needed to use the nuisance of the remaining dragons, Zack, to buy him some time. He ran with all of his might towards the pillar of ground his precious sword stood on, and leapt towards it. As if his life depended on it, Ayato rapidly grasped the hilt of his sword, and launched himself east towards where the lightning dragon stood. It was time for the boy to use the second of four spells he possessed, which is why he needed to persuade the lightning dragon, specifically, into focusing its attention on him. Ayato had seen it only for a bit during this battle, but had enough focus on the lightning dragon to release that it was unleashing itself at full force during this battle, meaning he was bound to have some of his powers idle by now. This meant that the lightning dragon was probably left with its weakest attacks for the time being, which Ayato had to face being dealt with. Ayato stood his ground with his sword in front, prepared to dramatize the dragon. The lightning dragon had unleashed a simple spear of lightning, which made Ayato smirk. "JUDGMENT!" Ayato cried, the spear of lightning completely redirected, and back to the lightning dragon, where it struck the mighty beast in its heart. Judgment dealt no magical damage, though it left the lightning dragon with its own spear rested firmly in its chest. Ladon was getting weaker by the instant, though Ayato was running out of more power than the beast, itself. Ayato clinched his teeth, and proceeded west again, trying to confuse the dragon as to where he was going. Only then would he gain bigger chances into fooling Ladon into his own demise.

MP: 80%
HP: 30%

It seemed like whilst his new ally wasn't that powerful in terms of magic he had a good level of skill. Using the sword's metallic properties to re-direct the lightning part of the attack was genius. Of course, if Zack hadn't of dealt with the water head then the splash might of caused some damage. He seemed to be focusing on the lightning head keeping it occupied and keeping it distracted. The other head that wasn't the light one was turning around trying to snap at him, but was unable to hit Zack as he could turn into air. The heads were smart enough to not try a magic attack so close to itself. That was the only way it would be able to hit him. After a few attempts at trying to attack him it turned all of its heads towards Seitenshi once more. This time though each of the heads began charging up before launching a combined attack. Somehow, and quite annoyingly, the two dead heads reformed in spiritual forms and also began preparing an attack.

He half wanted to prolong the fight for a bit of time, but he didn't have a choice. He would have to end it now and then hopefully go help the rest of the city. He couldn't waste time here. There was too much risk to Clover Town. He wouldn't let another city and guild fall like Hargeon Town. He would end this with his trademark technique with a few added twists. He flew high into the air, extremely high and flipped over taking another sword out of his eye. This one was controlled telekinetically to form a point below him, with the other two swords as well. The combination technique he was about to perform would drain him of all almost all his MP, but as he was falling he could eat the air and restore some as well. As he fell he began to spin rapidly as well.

"GUNGNIR." he shouted when he was about halfway and activated a few spells. The spells he activated imbued each of his weapons with an element. His black sword became coated in an aura of golden flames, his green sword in an aura of white ice, his silver sword in an aura of lightning. The air resistance that would normally slow him was removed by use of Sky King's heavenly grace. The spells he activated were not activated before the fall because he needed to recharge some MP from the fall so he could activate as much of it as possible. With all the spells activated he was like a spear that could pierce through everything. Hence the name. He hit the dragon in its body piercing all the way through it, but then suddenly he was in the air again falling once more. This time due to the fact he hadn't lost any momentum he fell even faster. His rotations would also increased. The beast didn't have time to react and was in to much pain to do so. It roared out even more as the second blow hit. However, once more Zack vanished. This time he appeared in front of Sei bbut rapidly accelerated towards the beast drilling straight through it a third time. The force was too much and the dragon fell down dead. Five heads of ladon had fallen.

Zack swerved upwards stopping his rotation and eventually coming to a halt high up in the air glowing swords in hand and a third rotating him, his white aura making his hair stand up and ripple. He looked truly impressive up in the sky. Slowly he descended and landed atop the corpse of the dragon and looked over at Seitenshi. "You alright there bud?"

Magic:

While Ayato felt closer to his own demise, hoping for the dragon to hit its demise first, it seemed as though all worked out in Blue Pegasus' favour. Zack had more impressive fighting skills than the guild had mentioned, and managed to take down a minor form of Ladon almost single-handedly. Ayato was proud that he had revealed his own skills beyond his previous limits, and had dealt with two of the five dragons, himself. Together, the two had created vital wounds in the dragon so the other could utilize it as a way for Ladon to fall- all of these techniques successful in the end. Ayato needed some time to rest now, seeing as he took a great amount of damage in this wild fight.

"Well, that was an interesting fight..." Ayato joked, "Had it not been for your skillful maneuvers, I think I would have lost miserably, Zack. Thank you!" Ayato patted Zack on the back before he slowly proceeded towards the children who seemingly refused to evacuate the city without watching this whole fight go down first. Maybe it wasn't just Blue Pegasus that had fought this fight, but the whole town, as well. These children appeared to be Ayato's motivation for future fights, and having seen their worried faces, Ayato promised himself that he would do better from now on; to become stronger in every passing moment, and to one day surpass his own upperclassmen. "I'm going to help evacuate these civilians, then be on my way back to helping others fight the remaining forms of Ladon, Zack!" Ayato cheered. That's right. He cheered. Ayato had limitless hope that this whole tragedy would be over soon, that Blue Pegasus would prevail over every head of Ladon currently existing before their guild. So far, everyone supporting the brawl against Ladon seemed triumphant, but like Ayato's strategies, then could all turn around at any given moment, and so more help would always be appreciated. Ayato needed to be that extra help, though he needed some healing first.

Ayato saluted to Zack before he guided the children back to their respective homes. "Do not worry about us, kids. That bad guy will be done soon." Ayato remarked. Ayato had a nickname for Zack now: The Sky King. He had revealed all sorts of powers pertaining to people of the sky, after all; all of high authorities in the hierarchy of royalty. Ayato needed to become a king someday, but now was not the time to rush to such events. These children needed a place to hide first, and feel comfortable so this ordeal could come to an end without having to worry about those who cannot support themselves. If Ayato could highlight one thing about his battle with Zack, it was one of the swords he used to demolish the beast. The sword looked identical to his own, though it most likely possessed different properties. Ayato's own sword was sheathed for the moment, while his book rested in his jacket. One fight was over, though there were many others to come.

[END]

Seitenshi had left taken people with him, likely to escort to shelter, as Zack descended like some divine being standing atop the corpse of the giant five headed dragon. He stood there briefly considering what next to do. There were still many opponents left to defeat. He could hear them rampaging over the city and he could heard the sounds of battle. It was no time to observe his own handiwork.

He rose high into the air once more and flew off looking for a dragon/dragons that were either not occupied or were not being occupied enough and thus were overwhelming the combatants. His gaze swept over some fights. Ayeseru appeared to be doing well in his own battle. As did a few of the others. His gaze eventually fell on Shuhei's battle. It had been a while since he had seen the guild master fight.

Perhaps it was time to fight alongside him?
