No Sunshine When She's Gone [Job]

Hera stood with Hikari, conversing mostly about politics and who had a bigger butt. She absolutely loved having her around because their conversations could be pure and honest. At the same time, they both seemed to frequently get into danger. And times like these, peaceful ones were fleeting.

Now that Fairy Tail was rebuilding, Hera felt some form of peace. However, the mass murder at Magnolia was all anyone on the news would talk about. It was a terrible day. But Magnolia was a city that had been through the worst magical calamities of the age. For some reason, the town Fairy Tail had been built upon, the town that it had always called home and protected. Just seemed to attract magical calamities, and destiny breaking type events.

But often times, the town was just peaceful like this. The city was huge, frankly, and being rebuilt after such an event. Hikari, and Hera were actually just helping people out where they could. Hera was an unarmed combatant, and could take a slice where most people couldn't. She helped Hikari where could with non lethal combat, and also when not to hold back.

The two sat, one girl with pink hair, the other with orange. She hoped everyone could get used to her new look, the Sky Dragon Slayer magic...she had no idea it would permanently change her hair color like that if she overused it.

She wore her usual gold and black uniform and was actually looking at a job posting for a family who's daughter was joining some kind of cult. But something didn't sound right about that. A cult of mages supposedly? Too dangerous for normal humans, she remained quiet about it for awhile. Fiore was mostly normal humans. Couldn't her towns forces handle it...is this what her Father and other great mages did? Threw themselves into danger, along with people they loved..over and over. Sometimes, Hera wondered what the cost of it all was.

She didn't realize she was just staring at the board and then looked up at Hikari rubbing her head. Her hair in a high bun.

"Oh...yeah, I never used to stop and look at these...." she looked up the road at the destroyed Guild, closed for construction with a lot of yellow tape around it. People passed two and fro, mostly reporters. Eventually, Hera would look over at her Exceed, who just stared at her for awhile before looking away. Saddened, as their relationship had grown distant as of late. Hera knew why, but was to prideful to admit she was wrong. "The guild always used to have them posted...never really paid attention to the ones on the street like this." a few more mages were looking at the board, but literally hundreds of other people ignored it, becacuse they weren't mages or wizards.

"Well, I guess we can check this out." but first, she should probably make sure Hikari was ready. "Actually....we should probably go and get some practice in first." with a nod, she, would lead Hikri to the guild grounds, which they were only allowed into as members.

Stepping into a huge clearing with brick floors, and overturned benches, piles of dirt. With the huge towering castle being rebuilt behind them, Hera would then smile at Hikari. Telling her it was time to go, Hera would grab her by the hand and nod. Both of them would then appear to go flame on, before vanishing in a huge outward flash of flames that hit the gates of Fairy Tail themselves, and upward in a giant stream of flames. In the same instant a huge bolt of fire came down up in the Phoenix Mountains of Fiore, a huge tower in the distance. The firebolt formed into Hikari and Hera, as the trees nearby whistled with flames for a moment, before harmlessly disappearing. Letting go of Hikari's hand, and looking around the quiet forest, Hera's superhuman hearing only heard animals in the distance. The huge tower was above the treeline, barely visible from here. Rose, who had hopped onto Hera's shoulder would look about somewhat cautiously. Her cat being almost as strong as her was rare, in fact Rose was more powerful than most mages. Even really powerful ones. But she was a lot calmer than Hera, something Hera thought was pissing Rose off at this point. With a sweatdrop over her head, she tried not to stare at the cat on her shoulder.

"Well...here's a good spot to train." she said, looking up ahead as Rose would smile a bit. She liked seeing Hikari and Hera in action, because it taught Hera restraint, and Hikari patience. Both in her opinion needed these things individually. For different reasons. Rose would open her wings with a burst of magic, and fly back, pegasus style as she floated up into a nearby tree.

"OK! I'm gonna try to hit you! Hit back enough and show me what you'll do to someone if they try to kidnap YOU like this girl we're about to go help out!" Hera smiled. She then took off running at Hikari, reaching her beyond a normal humans capabilities, but didn't use any Magic to do so, she was just amazingly quick. Within two steps, she closed 50 feet, but it was good for Hikari to train against someone of her class. Not everyone trained with the most powerful Dragon Slayer on Earthland.

As Hera reached her, she would go for a leaping punch right to her face. Flames, whirling and disappearing. As the ground behind Hikari would crack with sheer wind force. If hit, she would be hurt a lot. But Hera didn't hold back as much when fighting Hikari, since Hikari had just as high magic power as she did, she just hadn't brought it out yet.

After that, Hera would step back quickly right after landing, and then flip into the air on the spot; kicking a huge fireball the size of a car at Hikari that exploded. Afterward, Hera would smirk as the dust cleared, hoping Hikari had figured out a way to deflect the attack, if not, this job would be extremely dangerous for her. If the mages did use some kind of sun type of magic. She would probably need to be ready. The flames knocked a tower of fire into the air for a moment. Before disappearing.

"Still ready?" Hera said quickly, as she ran up and attempted a flying kick right at Hikari.

Hikari managed to block the incoming fist...without moving. As Hera's eyes widened in surprise, she would be amazed at Hikari's raw defensive power. As she launched a fireball at her, she actually cut it in half somehow; although it seemed her slash never touched the sword itself. Some kind of afterimage? Her enchanting has gotten better, hopefully I'll see that spell again...... as an enchanter herself, Hera used Sky Dragon magic which was a form of enchanting magic, but not a pure one like Hikari's, hers was air and wind based.

As the smoke cleared, Hera realized it was Hikari that cleared it. Backstepping in a moments notice, Hera weaved one slash, and then took another from another direction from another Hikari, confused as she hadn't noticed two of them, Hera was actually a bit off guard due to not seeing these enchantments before.

Barely enchanting herself with a Deus Corona! as the clone hit, the enchanted skin tight barrier around Hera would explode with a huge wind burst, making trees shake around a bit from the defensive spell activating. Now surrounded by two of them, they both began to glow with magic circles; as Hera figured out which was the real one by the smell of the drinks they had had earlier on one of them. Diving straight at her, Hera would tackle her to the ground with a smile.

"That's enough of that!" Rose said walking forward as Hera sat up, and pulled Hikari to her feet. Rose actually smiled at Hera a bit, and then looked to Hikari. "Well, you're no slouch with that sword either.....that doppleganger enchantment is really something....if you could make it more powerful.....maybe like a hundred of you." Rose sparkled, getting carried away with ideas as Hera merely sweatdropped and rubbed her hair.

"Well, we should probably head towards town right......" Hera would wave her hand with a Vernier! spell, giving Hikari the power of flight, at her own speed and then some. She would glow with a soft outline of her own magic power. Rose would then scoop up Hera as they would fly off toward the nearest town in the Phoenix Mountains where the girl is from. In the air, Hera would look over at Hikari as Rose flew her.

"Did you come up with those enchantments on your own back there?" Hera said as her pink hair flowed behind her in the breeze. Grandine had taught her all of hers, although; they were advanced dragon magic, for Hikari to invent her own enchantments like that as she got more powerful was impressive. Enchantment was not normal magic. "Maybe one day you can help me......with my dad." Hera said as she flew, remembering her father; Heero was Lumen Histoire, forever trapped in a mana crystal of untold power. Even being near him in that crystal room made any mage feel like they were on top. Hera herself couldn't get in the room. Only the past masters and current Master of Fairy Tail could make the crystal doors open. But she'd been in before, and maybe when Hikari was more powerful. Maybe together we could come up with an enchantment that brings him back to life......maybe it's best if we don't try.....I'll just stop thinking about it Hera literally flew in silence, as she seemed to just be staring at the ground.

Eventually Rose would dip down into town, as they walked right in. A few town guards and the occasional Rune Knight. It was morning now, and people were out and about.

"Well, we should find their house right?" Hera walked off up ahead, spotting the street name mentioned and eventually finding the house. Closing her eyes she would hand Hikari the job sheet with a face that said No way I'm knocking...all on you..... Hera said with a sweatdrop comically as she waited for Hikari to take it. When she did she would follow her lead as Rose would look up at Hikari, waiting, much shorter than both she and Hera both.

The member 'Hikari' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

---

'Monster Dice' :

Hera yawned a bit, looking around the sunny town; as spring was upon them and the town was high in the Phoenix Mountains, it was kinda warm here. Hera liked it. As she basked in the sunlight briefly, closing her eyes as the sounds of the town surrounded her. She was broken from her peaceful thoughts by the sound of Hikari moving quickly, as she opened her eyes she'd blink a few times and notice Hikari moving toward a group of two guys up ahead.

"Seems a little early in the game to be flirting but I'm game!" Hera shrugged to herself as Rose slapped a paw on her head, completely flabergasted that Hera hadn't been paying attention like Hikari had, choosing to relax in the town instead of remaining vigilant and aware.

As they caught up to Hikari, they went around the corner of a few buildings, and eventually into an alleyway where they heard someone sounding extremely panicked. A girls voice. Looking up ahead as she joined Hikari, along with Rose; she realized that the young girl was cornered. With one swift look, she looked the men up and down; and assessed that she hadn't seen anyone even remotely with outfits like those in town, even though she'd only been here a few minutes. Her reasoning skills and detective skills were far better than her attention span.

They had on masks of some kind, although the masks were all white and seemed to be themed after the sun with solar symbols on one side of the mask. One of the guys got arrogant and removed his mask, looking to his partner who kept his on and remained quiet.

"Little ladies, what in the world? Two girls are going to stop us?" he raised a hand threateningly, as Hikari drew her sword although Hera didn't feel any magic from it yet; it was just a warning. "You do know....we're mages right? Two regular sluts don't really have a chance against us....even if we didn't have magic, we could take you, just a sword? Really?" he laughed as he reached out and grabbed the hair of the blonde girl behind them.

"What do you say we make her blow us before we take her back to the Tower eh? As punishment." as he said this, the other guy in the mask laughed as they both turned their backs on Hikari and Hera; the girls eyes went wide with helplessness at what was about to happen as before they could unzip themselves and present their manhoods to her face; Hera called out to them both.

"Pathetic asses, can't get a date so you resort to this." as she said that, she nudged Hikari with an elbow goading her to join in the insults, Fairy Tail's speciality. "I wonder where your Moms are now, I bet they're SO proud." Hera put a hand on her hip, and looked at her nails. "What do you say you let her go, and I won't let my partner chop your legs off......" Hera said as she took her attention off of her nails, and gave them both a death glare that made the one without the mask furrow his eyebrow in concern.

He could feel magic radiating from both of these chicks. As he motioned for his partner to pay attention, both of them would raise their hands at Hera and Hikari as windows began to be shut by people who lived in town at the sound of their argument and altercation. They began powering up what looked like sunlight on their arms, as it wrapped down their arms to their hand; preparing to fire------Hera appeared behind them both.

"Yoooho." she said as she comically bashed their heads together and then shoved them toward Hikari with an innocent push in the back with each hand. As the two men went stumbling toward Hikari, Hera would spin around; extending a hand to the blonde girl and sparkling as she did so heroically. "Never fear! Fairy Tail is here!" she said as....no one was there. Rose literally facepalmed at Hera's one liner. They'd have to work on that. Heero was much better at it.

Looking left to right, Hera noticed the girl had scampered over the fence at the end of the alleyway and was now making a break for it on the other side of the fence.

With an intense annoyed growl, Hera's eyebrow twitched as she watched the girl run away from both her captors and saviors.

"OI! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SEE YOU SAFELY HOME!!!" Hera commented at the top of her lungs as the girl stopped at the end of the other alleyway at the sound of Hera's voice, looking back and turning around; she looked somewhat afraid with the traffic flow of people behind her on the other side of the fence and down the alleyway.

"It won't do her any good, we've already got some of our boys at her parents' place, keeping an eye on the house, some of them are mages." one of the guys said as he stumbled straight toward Hikari, trying to get his balance from Hera's shove in his back he stopped just short of Hikari as he spoke to Hera; and attempted to go for a headlock on Hikari extending both his arms out toward her and moving to her side. The other guy literally slid on the ground and rolled toward Hikari from Hera's supernatural strength alone.

Watching Hikari dismantle the guys after she'd shoved them forward was brutal, and kind of satisfying. One girl in an alleyfight against two guys, and it was over like that. Looking over her shoulder, the blue haired girl had now passed the fence, but was looking back at Hikari and Hera beating down the guys for now.

As Hikari stood on a guys head with the heel of her boot, he shook in fear that she would impale him any second. Hera then walked over too him and leaned down over him from above, although she was a 13 year old girl. She had a way of putting things.

"So, I might just let my sis stomp your head off if you don't talk so." smirking to the guy and closing her eyes, shortly after Hikari had just threatened him. He spilled everything. With another kick sideways, Hikari knocked the guy into next week as the two of them moved to the fence. With a single hop, a sight to be seen, Hera placed one hand on the 10ft fence and cleared it.

Stepping out of the alleyway to the girl Hera wouldn't even get a chance to get a word in as she followed her eyes and saw her family getting dragged out of a house by the same Sun mage cult they'd just dealt with. Maybe she really did escape, and maybe their organization was supposed to be secret. The Mystic Tower had long been home to a supposed group of mages that worshipped the sun, she supposed the rumors were true.

"Hera, stop daydreaming!" Rose shouted at her, the exceed had her arms crossed looking upon the situation. "This town isn't even on the map, it's just in the Phoenix Mountains, there aren't enough rune knights here to solve this situation, people are staring and scared. Won't you look around yourself for once?" as she said this, Hera did so. Haunted Village was the closest major town, at the base of the Phoenix Mountains. They were way up. People literally were freaking out, and running away. Or backing up and watching these people abduct these folks right from their homes.

Hera heard Hikari's sword unsheath with a mighty ring in the air. Before tossing it with a whirl into the skies. Guided by magic, the sword would land with a mighty boom in the center of the group. Causing them all to leap back and stare at the sword, backing away from it not knowing what it was doing. As Hikari shouted at Hera, she would move so fast that literal trails of flames would appear on the ground.

She zig zagged past the guys leaving trails of fire, as the family they'd abducted would disappear and be brought to the side of the blue haired girl once more.

Fire Dragon's Blazing Speed, an S-Class ability. Hera would then skid to a halt next to Hikari again, hands on her hips, and legs on fire, as the flames on her legs would whirl and disappear until she moved them at all. Watching as the girl leapt into the arms of her family, and the dad literally wouldn't stop rubbing her head; Hera smiled an honest huge smile. Remembering her mom Alyia and Dad Heero holding her just that way. This was what it felt like to do good. Maybe she'd find a good guild to join instead now or learn to use magic on her own. Being born a mage was something that you couldn't fight in the end. Very rare. But most families had one or two mages in them. Had they made a difference?

Looking at her with her family, she could tell that they had indeed changed her path.

The Sun Mages approaching from behind though, had other plans.

As they ran up, Hera nodded to Hikari as they both most likely would walk up past the family to confront the group of guys running up. She could tell these guys were just Initiates in the order, as some of them had on rag tag clothes. The only thing in common were the sun themed masks.

"Idiots, don't you know we're from Fairy Tail?!" she yelled at them as they skidded to a halt and stopped running. Looking around amongst one another, this seemed to cause them to talk amongst one another briefly until one of them spoke up.

"You're lying! That's impossible, Fairy Tail hasn't rebuilt their hall yet. I've seen the ruins of the Guild Hall in the center of town with my own eyes!" as another of them from the group yelled at him that rumor had it they were returning. However, they all began to argue amonst one another, a few of them concerned they would get killed if they were telling the truth. "You bitches are fakes!!! Time to get hurt!" one of them yelled out again as he raised sword and from behind his mask let out a blood curtling scream.

He came running, masked, wielding a blade in the middle of the street screaming at them. Raising one eyebrow, Hera would clench a fist that was engulfed in flames, her whole right side practically. As he got closer, Hera would run up to meet him as his sword literally melted in his hands as she got closer, causing him to scream in confusion and pain from the hot liquid. With a single bam! like a baseball bat, flames would hit the guys stomach, along with Hera's fist as his shocked expression was shown as flames wrapped all around him like a candle, he then went soaring backward into the crowd of his fellow cultists, and like a flaming grenade, he exploded.

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist

The huge explosion of raw flames went off, baking them all and partially melting their clothes off as they all were on the ground in pain screaming now. The townsfolk would literally witness this in awe, as a little girl just sent a grown man flying on fire with a single punch, and taken out the rest of the sun cult.

People then flooded the streets, and began beating up the sun cult, literally. As Rose would then point at their clients house.

The front of it was on fire from Hera's spell as she flailed comically. Inhaling and exhaling a huge Sky Dragon's Roar that flew above the crowd like a mini tornado as she channeled it to be smaller and more focused, breathing magical wind all over the house softly she controlled the roar for about 15 seconds to put the fire out before inhaling and stopping.

Her clients, including the girl from earlier let out a simultaneous 'phew' comically as they walked up. Beginning to thank Hikari and Hera, asking if they could stay for dinner as they'd never had mages over except for their own daughter who they'd just rescued. Well, they'd rescued them all now.

"Sorry ma'm, but we've got a job to do. You hired us not only to rescue your daughter, but to make the sun mages pay right?" Hera looked up towards the Mystic Tower in the distance. As the crowd of townsfolk continued to beat up the sun mages in a huge mob behind them. "We're going to clear out that place....and give it back to the people of this town." Hera said raising a fist into a hand with a nod.

"But, we may need to ask her a few questions first so that we don't step on a booby trap that blows up half of Fiore or something....." Hera said, pointing a finger twice up at the older and taller girl around Hikari's size and height with blue hair like her Dad used to have. Being only thirteen, Hera did miss her parents sometimes as well.

"Wh-what you actually thought something through...." Rose joked as Hera shot her a look. The family then continued to stare at Rose as she said...."What?" looking around.

"Is....that an Exceed?" they clearly had never seen one before, only heard rumors about magical walking talking cats. "My god...it's so cute." as they said this, Rose got triggered as she would hold out a paw and make a sword magically appear in her hand in a small flash of light. "W-what's going on...why why did it arm itself?!" they said concerned as Rose's eyebrow twitched. Rose loved cute things but hate being called cute herself.

As Rose made the sword disappear in another small flash, she would cross her arms, swishing her tail, eyes closing smartly.

".....Just kidding, gosh." Rose commented as the family literally sighed and shook their heads, as the mom passed out. It was all too much for her, having just been abducted, saved at super speed. Learning Exceeds were we real, and then being tricked by one. The girl mage they'd saved caught her mom and looked over to Hera and Hikari with an apologetic look.

"S-sorry about all this. Thanks for earlier....come on let's go inside." they would follow them inside, the front porch scorched like a barbeque from Hera who apologized again as they walked on the porch and then inside. "Fire mage huh?" the girl seemed more interested than worried about her own house, as this drew eye rolls from her brother and father. Both normal humans as Hera didn't sense any magic from them. "Hey I'm sorry OK, it's not like I planned for them to come here or for the house to get set on fire! They were trying to help Dad, dammit I'm sorry!!!" she said as she set her mom down in the living room on the couch, Hera and Hikari standing back in the middle of the family spat. Her Dad shot back that they wouldn't have had too if she'd just been patient and waited for one of the Guilds to contact her back.

"We just need a....general....layout....miss....sir." Hera spoke but was ignored in the middle of the arguement as she sighed to herself. "This is going to take forever......." Hera said getting impatient with the two of them a bit as she said this to herself quietly. "Should we just go to the tower without any information and let them argue?" she said, remaining calm in the end, asking Hikari what she thought as the arguement in front of them continued to rage. Her parents probably didn't understand her at all, as normal people who couldn't use magic at all. The brother remained mysteriously quiet through all of this though, looking at the ground or out the window if anything. Hera also felt a small bit of magic from him as well. But he tried to keep it hidden, she could tell. These parents were both normal humans, yet had two kids born mages; and didn't even know it.

The sun mages might come back for them both at this point. Looking toward Hikari, Hera nodded to the boy, who was younger, closer to Hera's age at 13. Hoping Hikari got what she meant, by 'sense him' afterward, she just sighed and continued to watch the spat between Father and Daughter. These could get rough, Hera used to be a brat to her Dad all the time before he died at age 8.

Putting a hand out to Hikari's shoulder, Hera would get a confident look after her talk earlier and smile. Bending her knees, Hera would grab onto Rose under her arm like a doll and then take off; just grabbing onto Hikari's armored waist briefly.

To everyone back in town, they'd see a swoosh of flames disappear and move forward. Hera literally ran through the woods at break neck speeds, hopping over logs and zig zagging through trees; until she came to a flaming halt outside of the Mystic Tower. About five hundred feet from it, as it stood through a clearing of trees up on a mountaincliff.

After stretching a bit, Hera would decide to put her hand into a fist, smiling. Rose then got a sweatdrop over her head.

"So the whole, blowing the tower up was actually the real plan?" she facepalmed, actually pawpalmed her face, wondering why she'd thought any different. With a nod, and final confirmation from Rose, which was more like a "why not" with a paw wave, Hera stepped out into the clearing. Fortunately, she was greeted by the sound of nothing but wind and air howling this high up in the mountains. Her footsteps were heard, as the 13 year old walked right up to the tower. Stopping a good 100ft from it's entrance as two Sun Mages literally stepped down to the bottom of the stairs.

"Evacuate this tower of any mages that pledge themselves to the Sun Cult that's holding it hostage. This tower is property of Fiore, not a damn camping ground or Guild for you psychos." Hera magically augmented her voice so that it was as loud as a Dragon's as she could see the two Sun Mages look around, and then get a communication via a lacrima as one of them touched their ears. It seemed they got orders from "above" literally in the tower to handle whoever was outside making a ruckus. The two men moved towards Hera quickly, jumping down and dashing forward with clearly magical speed. However, they may has well have been moving in slow-motion to her.

With a simple weave of some Light Magic blasts that went off, Hera dipped between a few lasers and in one single movement; appeared between them both. With a single movement, extending both of her arms; she clotheslined them both in the neck; sending them both tumbling into the tower itself, gasping for air and breaking their backs probably against the wall. As they slid down, both unable to move again; Hera would pound her hand into her fist.

"I'll take that as a no! Have it your way! You'e dealing with Fairy Tail now!" Hera shouted at the tower itself; looking up at it. Hera herself would begin to power up; raising her magic power simply by closing her eyes; and balling up a fist in an act of focus. The earth literally rattled at so much magic drawing toward one place; as orange flames begin to whoosh violently, off of Hera in all directions; until it built into a huge firestorm that was a bonfire the size of a school bus.

With a massive inhale, Hera would actually shatter the glass windows on the tower as it was shown briefly, with exploding glass from it's vistas. Screams and shouts from inside were heard as people began to clamor out. But it was too late.

Fire Dragon's Roar, exploded onto the scene as Hera herself was anchored back into a crater from the blast as soon as she began exhaling flames. The huge torrent of Dragon flame would sweep upward toward the tower through the air and slam into the top of it; as it flew off in slow-motion, Hera would see several high ranking Sun Mages, even their leader go flying out on fire as the top of the tower landed with an earth shattering THUD into the mountainside; exploding into wood, still on fire; as the rest of the tower caught aflame from the orginal attack. As the flames came down from what used to be the top of the tower, Sun Mages began running out left and right from above.

As they exited, they would see a small girl exhaling flames that could literally swallow up a skyscaper. With a hisssssss, the roar would end as Hera closed her mouth, smoke coming out of her nose a bit; like a Dragon briefly. As she crossed her arms, the group of about fifty or sixty Sun Mages before she and Hikari would look at one another, then back to Hera. Most of them would throw their weapons down, surrendering. Others still looked like they needed some convincing.

All she did was get slightly irritated, as her eyes took on a red Dragon Slayer glow briefly; and the rest of them threw their weapons down immediately. Looking back to Hikari, Hera would smile; with the sight of the burning tower behind her; and all the Sun Mages with their hands up. A huge chunk of the tower off in the distance.

"Their leader will be back soon; he went flying with the top of the tower. He'll be badly burnt and pissed off. Since they're all surrendering; I'll leave it to you to negotiate terms with their Guildmaster....not like he has much of a bargaining chip left....gahaha." Hera turned back to the tower, sparkling to herself as her Dad used too; as a few of the Sun Mages got sweatdrops over their head.

"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE MYSTIC TOWER?!?!?!?!" a mage came flying in full speed, white robes ripped and burnt, face covered in dust and soot. Blonde hair flying wildly behind him as he literally flew through the air. He would land, still woozy from the flames of the roar. Looking around, he would sweatdrop when he noticed Hera and Hikari's guild crests. "No......they are gone from this planet." he referred to Fairy Tail as a whole now, in shock that two of their mages stood before him. A bit of fear was in his expession too.
