Chrono's Third Mission: Missing/Stolen Jewelry feat. Mashyuu

Job Details:

For the first time in a while, the sand had spoken urgently again. "What is it this time?" Chrono asked. As you may know, wherever Chrono set foot, sand followed, and whenever the sand followed Chrono, for spiritual reasons, Chrono had tendency to speak to his sand. Why, you ask? Because the souls of his parents inhabited it. His father, Mizael, oftentimes focused on other matters, but whenever Chrono set foot in a potentially crime-infested area, Aki was the one to take charge. To summarize, through sand, Aki was currently speaking to her son. Chrono enjoyed wandering about through Fiore nowadays, but never did he think he'd come across another area where trouble was afoot. And, of course, with the code of a legal guild, whenever trouble was afoot, Chrono held the responsibility to take care of it. This was the part of him that Aki always saw and admired about her son. Mizael, surprisingly, watched from the shadows of the sand, hoping to see if Chrono could surpass yet another task; this time one of suspicion than danger, to be specific.

On his way to the scene, a man could be heard hyperventilating, running at his utmost towards Chrono with a note in his hand. This man appeared to be a messenger, but what for? "The council forgot to hand this to you! I apologize on behalf of their mistakes!" The messenger explained before running away. The silly council and their rush to activities. Chrono looked at the note, where he noticed not a name, but another guild who was to send a representative alongside Chrono to take on this task? Would it really be that difficult?

Chrono was surprised to suddenly feel a pat on his shoulder shortly after his arrival, especially when he thought his partner for this mission was absent in this instance. "That's quite the status you have." He commented, "Chrono Libra: Supreme Leader of the First City of Desierto." The man had to admit, both had phenomenal statuses on their shoulders, though unless this "Mashyuu" fellow had a lot of expertise with geography, the master of sand doubted his own status would mean anything to the Sabertooth male. "Oh, and I'm from Infinity Hydra, though new to it." Chrono did not want to admit at least that he was of the lowest rank Fiore had to offer: D-Rank. It might instill doubt into the other, after all, or make the lad feel as though he'd need to take on most of the troubles alone. This would be an equal effort.

"Currently, we are right where the council wants us." The boy explained, "At least for now. For the moment, we have absolutely no intellect of the culprit behind the theft at hand, though there is a supposed Urchin who has enough details with him to not only provide us a location, but perhaps the thief too. Hopefully there is only one." The sand wizard desired to see the strength behind one of three noteworthy statuses: Dragon Slayer, Rising Star and Paragon. Even the sand was eager to see Mashyuu demonstrate his power, but not just for show. No, he wanted to see victory and defeat. "Onward to the next stage." Chrono announced. He was never good at making anything sound cheerful, nor powerful with his words.

"That's a first." Chrono replied. He paused for a moment, paying close attention to Mashyuu, who was already beginning to make use of his inner strength. Chrono frowned on the inside to the fact that he didn't even realize Mashyuu had a companion with him. This companion reminded Chrono of one of his unique abilities: Flight. Of course, his form of flight did not require wings, though it was very interesting to witness a canine with wings capable of doing so - heck, a canine with wings alone was cool enough. Followed by this action, Chrono took note of another companion, but of netherworld descent (or so it appeared). The sand clarified that, if Chrono could not see it closely enough, this second beast was one of darkness. It was a bizarre situation, indeed; the sight of an Earth user using the power of darkness. This action reminded Chrono of something he had never used, but acknowledged he had in his arsenal of tricks; the ability to send the defeated to a void: The World of Nothingness.

Chrono stood still while the two companions searched the area, looking for the Urchin. "Did you run by all cities?" Chrono asked, "To become royal, you must hold the power to exceed the Second and Third City. The Third City is more violent, seeing as it is filled with the leftovers of the Second City, all of which live in poverty. The Second City is a developing state, who eat away at the Third City's resources while constantly challenging the First City. I come from the First City, but in a safeguarded area, free from any of these mentioned attackers. Wherever you run, always assure you're aware of your surroundings, Mashyuu." This kind of story usually motivated others, you know? Perhaps Mashyuu would up his game, knowing how dangerous an unconcerned environment was becoming, though absent of any wizards. It was similar to this task, actually. As far as Chrono was aware, no wizards or supernaturals were involved in this job, but he could be wrong. Albeit, Chrono just waited patiently for the two companions to complete their search, and find that Urchin.

(Chrono you should have rolled a dice on your turn it's all good I'll roll it now.)

"Fighting is that important to you, huh?" Chrono answered. As of this point in time, he knew he was with one of the legal side's fighters. Nobody would use their time in Desierto to fight for fun, after all. Desierto is initially too dangerous of a place to do that sort of thing without  being prepared for repercussions. Nevertheless, there was no doubt in Chrono that even an inch of this story was fabricated. He did become observant of Mashyuu though. It wasn't long after his story, in fact, that this teammate's eyes shifted suddenly. It almost reminded Chrono of El's shifting to Lucifer back at the guild, but what was the meaning of this? "Are you okay?" Chrono asked after he witnessed the shift fade away, that dark imp now absent. He could tell in that phase that Mashyuu was no ordinary wizard. Heck, this was not the only time Chrono thought about this. He also caught a glimpse of Mashyuu eating a brick, though he could only imagine that as Slayer-like behaviour - he had seen many similar actions before.

Chrono averted his eyes after observing Mashyuu for an instant, realising that the two, alongside two companions found the Urchin. "Why don't you talk to this guy." Chrono advised, "Though he seems trusted by the council, I want to see from behind the stands if this Urchin is the real deal. There's a difference between real intellect and claims, after all." The magic council was not always right in their sightings. Chrono also wondered how exactly the council knew about this "Urchin", as well. Did this Urchin just pop out of nowhere and convince the council one day that he was a valuable asset to this mission. Chrono entrusted Mashyuu, the bulkier wizard between the two, to confront this guy - to see what he was made of. "If this guy can be trusted, I will take an immediate lead on his given coordinates. Hopefully the council picked the right guy." Chrono added.


Total Word Count Between Mashyuu and Chrono: 1748

NOTE 1: Do realize that the request drew Chrono closer to Mashyuu as he requested, just not at the desired time

NOTE 2: Allow us a post each before we finally deal with the enemies, even while we've covered most of this job's word count already.

NOTE 3: Apologies for not following the schedule. I was ill.

Chrono spectated Mashyuu once they came across the Urchin. It appeared Mashyuu was rather impatient with the matter, but at the same time, this Urchin was more legitimate with his purpose than Chrono anticipated. To know the exact location was indeed impressive. That, and for the Urchin to position himself just around the corner from the danger. A brave one, he was. Chrono took the lead from here, and walked slowly inside the pawn shop the moment the doors were opened for him. The goods were in plain slight, but why? Chrono could only come up with one conclusion. "We're trapped, Mashyuu." Chrono confessed, "Unfortunately, these people don't know what wizards are."

Or so it appeared. As soon as Chrono finished speaking, opponents dropped onto the surface. Chrono concluded that this entire establishment was behind the theft of these goods; not just some pests. Before he knew it, the Urchin was also taken hostage. "I take that back." Chrono added, "They do know what wizards are, but Mashyuu..." Chrono walked seemingly carefree towards the threat. "I wonder if they know what we're made of." Chrono stopped inches away from his target. "An inch..." Chrono described, "Move an inch, and you'll experience a world of pain. Understood?" One could imagine it if they wanted to. Trails of sand followed Chrono wherever he went, after all, and nobody dared touch his sand without asking. Though low in rank, this sand could not be ranked. It had so much potential, and alongside Chrono, could achieve anything. A Slayer and Supreme Sand King. Was teamwork about to unfold?

Chrono examined his opposition while he had the chance, all while Mashyuu caused some chaos in the background. He could not sense any magic power, but the lad was holding a mace. He must have known what he was up against, right? If this was correct, then this tough guy must be a skilled one with his weapon. Unfortunately for the same lad, he could not move, or else he'd suffer from Chrono's absurdly threatening sand. Yes, almost all thought sand was just a little dirt, but not in Chrono's case. Need these fools forget that the impact from Chrono's sand could pierce through titanium if Chrono so held that desire. His sand was controlled by will, after all. The only thing Chrono couldn't do with this sand was increase its magical strength - hence his D-Ranked status, now that he thought about it.

According to the looks on the enemy, the enemy was convinced that he indeed could not move an inch without getting hurt. He was unsupported, with all of his folks defeated around him. This was the doing of Mashyuu anyway. Chrono had not done much yet, but he was about to defeat this supposed leader in front of him. He continued to examine the man. He finally took charge, but alas, the mace-holder could not touch Chrono, for in an instant, a pyramid of sand filled with sand spikes consumed the foe, collapsing on him too. The mace was still held firmly in his hand, however, which is why Chrono had to stay away. The enemy became more angry under these circumstances, ruthlessly charging at Chrono, though again, Chrono utilized his sand once more. This time, he surrounded himself in a sand sphere, which knocked the enemy back, the mace now set aside. This was when Chrono could end it. "Adios." Chrono concluded, his foot violently stomped upon the threat's face, hard enough to break through the ground a little, the impact knocking the boy out.

"It's over." Chrono confirmed with Mashyuu. He proceeded to collect the goods that were initially set as a trap, and left with his comrades. The Magic Council was summoned soon afterwards to clean up the mess. Many surrounding the pawn shop thanked him along the way for defeating the little bugger inside - Mashyuu too for the crooks. Chrono overestimated the dangers, to be honest. He was a little disappointed, discovering no magic essence within any of those past troubles. Whatever. He had just done something nice for the community alongside a new friend and his smaller companions. He hoped he would encounter Mashyuu again, but until then, they had to part ways. The last sign Chrono would give to Mashyuu was a smile before transportation brought him to the whereabouts of the owner of these goods. After that, Chrono could finally make his way back home - home sweet home.
