[FT Guild Event] Demonic Diplomatics [FT and Invite Only]

He had got the message clearly. This was the day that Sorano had decided to send her and her guild out to save two children of the Magic Council, a mission that needed quite the amount of people to accomplish. According to their situation, this would also be their chance of returning back to their home, the good-old residence in Magnolia that had been deserted for so long, ever since the incident happened. Call it an incident or not, it was quite the turn of events for Mura to see his beloved guild get written in the ‘dark’ section. Perhaps time had come for them to regain their legal position, a position that was almost like a birthright. They deserved to be called legal mages again…

Everything was packed; his antiquity was safeguarded in the pocket on his right legging. Harusame was sheathed, while the entire shaft was bound in a green cloth. He’d bound it tight with dark strings and bands, until it was preferably packed in. His armor could stay at home, because the shaman had not much taste for it anyways. And as he found himself arriving at the giant space of the Wakusei Portals, the untold, mysterious plane to new worlds, he suddenly asked out: “I guess that this is it, then. This could make us return…” The bluish spirit ball nodded, while the greenish spirit ball looked around the spaces. “Never in a million years would I find knowledge of this place myself… this is terrifying. Mura, where the hell are we going, again?” the dragon ghost kept hissing and growling at every piece of light that passed them on their way.

“We should be there soon,” he warned the two ghosts, before a slim spark emitted the picture and revealed his location at the world of demons, Akuma. Immediately, his feet started walking as if he had an idea of where Sorano’s exact location was; he had to stand strong, you know. No one would want a passive Ace in situations like these, would they?

Takumi's cloak fluttered behind him as he walked, his weapon sheathed safely at his side in the form of a sword. Today was the day Fairy Tail would regain some respect from the magic council, and save the two children who had been kidnapped. His exceed, walking next to him, was silent, a sight unusual to see, as she was usually scolding Takumi. Takumi, meanwhile, thought as he walked, about why two children would even be taken to a place like this. He continued to ponder as he walked, very nearly tripping over the rough ground, having been unsteady and limping slightly since that mission with Hera. There had been a huge jagged chunk of metal impaling his leg to be fair... he winced as he recalled the events that had given him his limp. The roof collapsing, nearly killing that man, destroying an old guild hall... it had been quite an adventure. Albeit a destructive and harmful one, but an adventure nonetheless.

Mashyuu trudged through the forest, working his way around large trees to head to the Fairy Tail guild hall, located on a different realm. He had just found the former Guild Master, Kanix, his Ex-Wife, had returned from the dead and she decided to join Sabertooth. Mashyuu felt Sorano, his friend and an all around good person should know. He pulled his brown gi shut over his chest and tightened the belt to hold his silver sword in place. Standing near a portal he could see Sorano, her back turned towards him. He had a new face but with his memories restored he could recognize her smell.

Slowly Mashyuu walked up to the woman from her left flank and called out to her. "Oi! Sorano, it's me! Mashyuu. My face changed and.. I lost a lot of my powers. I came by to tell you something. Kanix is back. But.. she is joining Sabertooth. Umm." Mashyuu looked around and noticed she was just standing outside of the portal. "What ya up to? You need any help? I just got a new sword and bow. I'd love to give em a good work out." Mashyuu patted his blades hilt and held up the chain wrapped around his left wrist that produced his energy bow.

The Earth God leaned against a near by tree and smiled at Sorano, he had always enjoyed doing jobs with her and she had saved his life more than once, he owed her for sure and was more than willing to do nearly anything she asked of the Earth Wizard.

As soon as his feet entered the new plane, he spotted her face noticing his arrival. Kyuken and Zirconis soared above each shoulder of his, while the shaman smiled with the ever so tired eyes. “Greetings… hmpf, I’m being too formal again,” he commented, while his hand adjusted the katana out of irritation. “Yes, you begin to sound like me…” the samurai ghost sighed, “Nonetheless is it nice to report for duty, Guild Master.” Mura would close his eyes and smile by the statement, before noticing Takumi’s arrival. The Lightning Dragon was never late for the party, it appeared. “Nice, you’re here as well, Takumi,” Mura greeted the slayer, “…” His eyes scrolled around the plane, before he began thinking; did everyone get the message of this mission? The number was quite smaller than expected… but in the end, it wavered him not.

What affected him, though, was Mashyuu’s arrival; the Earth Dragon whom Mura had only met once in the past appeared to feel ready to help them on their mission, in which Sorano accepted. Mura barely heard any of the latter, but was shocked by the news of Kanix’ return. “S-She returned..?” he almost mumbled out loud. In the span of a second, pictures passed his mind - from when they were in the desert to his B-Rank Mage Exam, and all other times where he was with her. Their beloved Faery Mother had returned from absence, in which the reason mattered not the least for the younger shaman. Kyuken’s eyes began popping out hearts by the news. “SHE SURVIVED!?!??!?!?” he cried out loud, “YES! YES!!! YES!!!!! I’M SO HAPPY FOR MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!” Tears bursted out from his eyeballs like fountains, and even Mura found it strange…

The Earth Mage had decided to help them out, in which the team consisted of four at the moment; Sorano, him, Takumi and Mashyuu. Combined with the two spirits, Hoshi and Coal, they were just about as many as Mura found more than critical for the mission’s success. After Sorano’s words, she entered the portal, and Mura found himself thinking. A small tear had built upon his eyelid, but he quickly wiped it off and thought: So Kanix is alive… and joined Sabertooth... I’m so glad. Kyuken and Zirconis began pushing Mura’s back towards the gate, in which he noticed their intention. He nodded quickly and thought: I’ll live by your teachings, then… and until the day when I meet you again, watch me. “Takumi, Coal! Our Guild Master is waiting..!” the shaman prompted the two Fairies, before leaping into the portal that lead to the world of Akuma.

The land looked as vast as Mura could imagine, since that he had experienced the surroundings of the Underworld; the very sound was different from sounds on the previous plane. His eyes were on full-time job now. “…” He could feel the ground shake a little, and the tense atmosphere only added to the worry, “… This world looks large.” His Oracle Bracer began noting him about the plane, but a few seconds after he began pressing onto the screen like buttons, it turned into statics. That would only mean one thing… other hostile, magical figures were approaching. “Guys, ten o’clock,” he warned Sorano and the others that were soon to arrive, moving his gaze towards the large lavine.
“There they are!” a deep, eerie voice announced, “The newcomers! How lucky of us!” His grin began echoing through the land, even audible by the humanoid mages. The large, stringed demon barely even had to give the sign before his fellow warriors exposed themselves by the edge of the lavine, the first ones charging after Sorano first. Those held long chains that one might’ve not wanted to touch willingly, in which a clone of Mura passed right by. Other demons wielding small warhammers began targeting what they felt like even newer newcomers that were late to the feast. He knew that Sorano could handle these guys for quite a while, perhaps longer than he could; however, if they expected their arrival already, then the shaman wondered if they knew about the two kids… it was worth and theoretically obvious enough to see. A clone, just to be on the safe side...

Skill Used:

Hera stood on a rock overlooking the path she'd been walking on for awhile now. Letting the magical pull of something "weird" draw her. It's what she usually did when she was looking for a Wakusei Portal. "something weird" might've been vague, but somehow when you'd felt all different kinds of magic all your life, the Wakusei Portals stood out. Growing up at Fairy Tail, she was that exact case.

She sat on the rock, eating a sandwich next to her Exceed and partner. Rose. The dark red colored Exceed was happily sipping away at a slurpee as she would swish her tail. Overlooking the huge forested mountain range in front of them. The Phoenix Mountains. Eventually, she felt another mage somewhere nearby, as she began looking left to right down on the forest ground beneath her. Nothing.

"You feel that too? Feels like Mura's magic power." Rose said as she would set down her cup on the rock, without a trash can nearby. With a nod, Hera would look to Rose who nodded back at the same time as they usually did. Hopping off the rock, the camera would pan upward behind her as Rose would grab onto her, the sound of nothing but the wind...and a few birds could be heard as Rose's white wings appeared and coasted on the breeze, her feathers flickering a bit beautifully in the wind as they coasted above.

"I think I see him!!!" Hera shouted as she spotted the young sword mage, who had a magic potential probably greater than any she'd ever seen except maybe Eris, her and her dad. Not to mention his connection to the spirit and celestial spirit realm. As she approached, she could sense several others nearby. Including Sorano, and Takumi's magic power. A strangers. But somehow it felt like Kanix and Ahote's magic power. Connected to the earth.

Pointing down, Rose nodded, deciding to remain stealthy and not expose themselves just yet. She listened from the bushes as they discussed various happenings. Mura as colorful as ever, yet seemed to be focused in his expressions. Her eyes moved to the Sabertooth mage, as he talked she focused her vision on him. She recalled a picture of Kanix in the Guild Hall with this man, now it was probably a half broken picture in the overturned Magnolia Guild Hall, but one day it would rest on it's walls again. She smiled as she recalled the picture, as the guy leaned on a tree in suave fashion. She wondered if he remembered his father, she'd heard that Heero, Kanix, and the father of her children had all been close during the time when Heero had brought Kanix to Fairy Tail, keeping her safe from Basilisk Fang as she eventually rose to become the master of Fairy Tail itself, the successor of Heero and the predecessor of Sorano herself.

Remaining quiet until Sorano had completed her explanation, Hera and Rose's eyes widened as they noticed people began walking through the almost invisible portal, that shimmered every now and then between two huge trees; especially as people walked through. As Hera saw Takumi and Mura, she blushed a bit. Having a small crush on both of them, she would notice them move too through the portal. Looking to her right, she noticed Rose was gone; and already flying toward the portal.

"HEY WAIT UP!" Hera said loudly as she took off running for the portal. As she hit it, stars would stretch out briefly as if she was traveling across the galaxy at warp speed. Appearing at a slide through the portal out of nowhere, she looked around. Sweatdropping at her sudden arrival, once more, she would rub her pink hair and wave awkwardly with a weird anime sound coming from the universe itself.

"Hey guys.....uh...Master." she said with a sweatdrop, blushing a bit as she turned to Sorano and bowed with both arms at her side karate style. Fiercely respectful, as Eris had literally whipped, slapped, and hung her off of cliffs to get her to act right toward her superiors. Even though Hera could be considered a stronger mage, Sorano was her master and probably the better mage of the two morally. Although I'm not sure she has feelings so I don't know if that last part is accurate.......

As Rose explained to Sorano that they'd gotten the Job Letter a bit late after helping out Hunting Village with a small matter, but arrived afterward, Rose continued to talk to Sorano about the details of the mission, and how they would present themselves afterward.

"Oh my god...the sky really is red." Hera said as she looked up, seeing a huge city off in the distance, she looked around. The landscape really was just like Earthland's. Akuma had different plants and animals though, she could just tell. Her eyes set again on the guy with spiky hair and a chain wrapped around his arm, not to mention he carried swords and was truly ripped. She smiled a bit at him, saluting with a flick of her wrist. Turning her pink hair away from him, but wondering what kind of magic he used.

Rose would continue to talk to Sorano about semantics and details. But it seemed their studious and serious conversation would have to wait as Mura said he sensed company.

"Oi, Master. Is it true they really did kidnap some kids that belong to the Magic Council???" it was strange, Hera calling Sorano master. Since they were around the same age. Sorano having known her own Dad for more years than she herself had due to her tutelage under Eris to actually learn how to use magic. "Tsk...they were probably watching Earthland's Portal like a hawk!!!" Hera growled a bit, putting a hand on her hip and balling up another fist angrily. "Protect the Guildmaster, and Takumi! Blow off body parts but don't kill anyone!" Hera said, knowing they needed to capture and interrogate one or all of them. As for the largest Demon flying toward them now, they might have to kill it to move on. Mura's magical bracer seemed to be having technical difficulties, so these things were definitely made of magic, or demon mages of some kind themselves, not normal creatures that inhabited Akuma.

As several string demons, made of literally yarn and string approaching them across the landscape with a few rocks here and there in the open plains outside of town, along with a few trees spread out. There were 3 of them charging Sorano and Mura and 2 of them coming toward Mashyuu and Takumi, with Hera at the back still near the portal she'd come into. The larger demon seemed to want to hang back and watch the show or something.

Wind began to swirl around Hera as the demons neared their location, their battle screeches heard. She would focus as unnatural magical wind began to build around her. With a serious expression she closed and opened her eyes. With a wave of her hand a multi-colored enchantment went off.

Three dragons made of different colored light would spring from Hera. The green one would slam into Sorano, increasing her natural health, a red one would whirl around and slam into Mashyuu, increasing his weapon and physical strength, something she felt he would appreciate. Lastly, a blue dragon of magic would soar toward Takumi, slamming into him and granting him with the power of flight, and the speed of a dragon, more than his usual already amazing speed, along with allowing him to fly around.

"Arms! Armor! Vernier!" she would exclaim as Sky Dragon Magic went off in the area with a loud roar of a dragon from the beasts as the multi colored light settled into her friends. The wind and light dying down now as the demons approached. Enchanted with Dragon Magic, they would all find their abilities augmented beyond natural reason. Except Mura, Mura would be fine just as Mura (LOL). Hera would then clench a fist.

Rose herself would ReQuip a giant warhammer into her hands, with a cat with wings at the head of it as the hammer was about as tall as Mashyuu, way to big for a little Exceed to wield it looked like. Whirling the hammer with huge wind gusts at it's size, Rose would slam it into the ground for intimidation near the Guild Master and swish her tail.

"You call those hammers?!" Rose would say as she swung her hammer in a huge arc, just to threaten the demons a bit as they got closer.

Hera herself would walk up to Mashyuu and Takumi, standing with them side by side.

"You guys take em out! I've been working on my Sky Dragon Slayer magic....I'll heal you guys and run support, so just go before I get fired up!" surprisingly, Hera was trying to use her Sky Dragon Magic as opposed to her Fire Dragon Slayer magic for once and rushing in destroying everything.

Spells Used:

OOC:

"Hey, informing my friends is a job that I need to take very seriously. Especially where a former Guild Master is involved." Mashyuu responded but quickly turned his head to look at Mura, a man he really didn't know but guessed based by his garb the man was some sort of requip mage or really loved Samurai styles. "Yes really, she's alive and I just came from making sure that she has her memories back. It was a good fight. I get the feeling she will be coming back to Fairy Tail soon." Mashyuu explained to whoever would listen. It was then that Sorano started to move through the portal after telling Mashyuu what the group was about to do. "All right, ya know I haven't saved anyone in like.. two days. Lets do it." The group moved through the portal and suddenly there was a woman standing next to the group explaining something to Sorano about getting a letter from the Fairy Tail Master late. Mashyuu's glowing blue eyes narrowed for a moment while he walked up to the woman and smelled her, almost invading her personal space. He knew her scent but didn't say anything to her about who she was related to.

"I take it that city is where we are going? Is the plan to storm the city or simply sneak in?" Mashyuu asked. It wasn't long after that a group of seemingly demons made of string started to run at the group. Hera jumped back and cast a spell to increase Mashyuu's strength, had he not merged with the Goddess inside him the power flux would have unleashed a sort of false slayer force, luckily though he was in a better state now and wasn't about to lose control. As the monsters rushed forward the Earth Slayer took a single step towards the trio and opened his palm. A swirling force of sand rose up in his left palm while he grabbed his sword and drew the silvered weapon. "This mess is beneath me. Secret Art: Earth Gods Sand Twister!" Mashyuu shouted and flicked his arm like a whip, hurling the small tornado of sand. The magical sand expanded rapidly until it was both fifteen meters high and wide and rocketed at the trio of monsters. Mashyuu pushed his spell to slam into the three, ripping the strings of the demons before the twister knocked them back and at last held them in place, preventing the demons from moving. "Someone finish these things, Hera, throw me at the leader." Mashyuu demanded, wanting to end things as soon as possible.

Takumi noted how few people were around, how few members had come, saddened by this. Do they not care about the guild? was his thought as what seemed to be everyone that was coming showed up. As they stepped through the portal, demons instantly attacked, much to his annoyance. "Guys! Get out of the way!" He shouted after Mashyuu and Hera had taken out a large portion of the demons. He hoped they listened.... because it was time for the cruel blossom to make an appearance.

Takumi let out a cry as the giant lightning blossom began forming above his head, growing larger and larger, becoming a massive thing 3 meters in diameter. As Takumi shouted one more time, the blossom would explode, taking anything within 15 meters out, and throwing him to the ground with the force. It did a good job taking out the demons.... but it had a side effect of being like a suicide bomb, dealing a bit of damage to Takumi himself as well. A few seconds after the flower exploded, Takumi stood up again, looking a bit more battered and bruised now, cloak torn in places, blood spotting his arm from where he landed on a rock. But there was a grin clear on his face, and anybody who knew him knew he was just getting started.

The battle had surely started, but what sounded like a rather familiar voice came from behind. Was that Hera? She could’ve showed up a little earlier, if it was to him. However, now that she showed up in the end, he wouldn’t mind it and smiled. It wasn’t just him; she changed too fast for him to settle the new spirit. His bracer wouldn’t reveal the location of those kids until that they had taken care of the demonic rush, so he had to contribute as well. Wind began rushing, and the amount of sand which was summoned by Mashyuu’s magic raged around the field like a gust. Takumi’s lightning magic raged even more, bursting light out in a huge rampage that was so classic of him. Sorano appeared to do her thing as well, and the three mentioned mages earned a boost from Hera’s Sky Dragon Slayer Magic. That was quite the fine move; in fact, Mura barely noticed that she neglected him the support. Although, the forth clone behind her felt let down with that dark face of his. Suddenly, the real one accompanied by a last, fifth clone, spotted a white flag appear on Sorano’s grasp. He was about to get the wrong idea, but listening to her words, he was relieved… for now. If she could get some good respond from them, then the situation would ease out.

Some demons were held in place by Mashyuu, in which the three of Mura’s clones took care of them. One swung Harusame around its neck to keep it still, while another tackled the already captured demon’s legs down to keep it locked with his own. A third one would look at them all three, saying: “We’re only here to retrieve two kids, so you have to be patient.” And while the third demon found himself outnumbered by Mura’s clone skill, the real Mura walked towards Sorano, watching the 10 other demonic figures that had arrived. Their magical prowess was far greater than the previous ones’. “Tsk! First you enter our world as if it was some vacation-like hotspot, then you ask of this?” one of the great demons asked in disgust, while eruptions suddenly began to burst in the background of the red atmosphere. It was clearly hostile towards the mages, but something in the eye of the other one said something else. “You should take a look; don’t you think that their actions are sincere enough?” it replied to the first one, causing some blabber between the demons about this. “Even if that would give them any good reason… we’ve barely seen all of their capabilities!” the first demon replied, glancing at Hera and Sorano especially, “You two… I want to crush you with my own feet… so if you promise anything good, then you might be right. Until then, you can all go and die for me.”

No amount of teasing from Hera would make Takumi regret that lightning flower. It may have hurt him a bit too, but It was worth it to see it cut through those demons, despite being fairly weak as a spell. And then Hera and Sorano were approached by a huge ogre, and Takumi was about to step forwards, but then Hera got to work. Breaking the ogres pinky first, she managed to get the location out of him after breaking several more fingers.

He had never seen Hera like this before.

Those screams were getting to him, even if it was an enemy, those cries were awful. As the demons led them towards the city, Takumi watched Hera with a uneasy look. She had been pretty harsh, even if those demons were enemies did she have to torture the one like that?

What was done was done, but Takumi couldn't help but question those methods Hera had used. No matter. As long as those children were saved it couldn't be too bad, could it? At least, he hoped so.

The demon city wasn't all that different from anything in Earthland, it was actually fairly normal looking. The demons had kept the promise to bring them to the city, but they had apparently dissapeared as soon as they had arrived. Of course. They had probably gone to warn their kin of the arrival of the Fairy Tail mages. Takumi shook his head, looking at Hera, and then back at Sorano, before looking towards the city once more. "Where are we going to even start?"

The battle was over before it even really started. The string demons didn't put up much of a fight, if any really. They seemed powerful but their will was broken long before the mages of Fairy Tail and Sabertooth even came through the portal. After a fairly underwhelming display, the demon leader started to speak with the others about how there were demons in the city ahead that had taken the nobles that the team were looking for. It seemed as if the team were on the right path, at least someone knew where to start looking. They needed to get to the inner city, where ever that was. Hera had managed to use "aggressive negotiation" tactics to get the string demons to take the team to the city, but was there any chance the demons would turn on the humans from Earthland? If Mashyuu were a dark Wizard he would have turned on someone who bested him the first chance he got. "We shouldn't make deals with this group. Nothing good can come of this." The Sabertooth Wizard advised while the group started walking towards the massive city in the distance.

Walking seemed to take forever and Mashyuu was sure that most of the group were capable of moving faster than they were but the Earth God took the chance to try to get to know who he was working with a bit better. He figured it best to start with Hera as he knew Sorano very well and knew who Hera's father was. He fell behind in the middle of his stride to walk side by side with the woman. "Your fathers gun ho attitude I see. But I get the feeling you didn't know him very well. If you have any questions I'll do what I can to answer them. I only met your father a few times but know what he was to a lot of people." Mashyuu offered then looked at the young girl happily. His own daughter wasn't much younger than Hera was and for some reason Mashyuu felt like he should keep the Fairy Tail girl under a watchful eye for her passed on fathers sake.

(OOC: Not sure where to take this so I'll let the FT GM do it since its her event.)

The threat from the demons seemed to have been taken care of now. The largest present challenged Sorano and Hera, and to his lack of fortune, one of the girls was enough to shut his mouth and convince of their worth. Although, the screams made Mura feel compassionate for the large demon… rather, he began sweating a little by the view. The other string demons were tied up good enough, in which his clones turned away into shadows that faded into the ground. His hair even blew by the wave and the background of the large one’s screams over Hera’s brutal treatment. At some point, the leader finally spat out about the two kids who were seemingly taken into the city of theirs. “A city of demons…” he mumbled. It was actually quite going well, according their plan to not kill any of the demons and, instead, try and cooperate… well, one could have his or her problems with this kind of ‘cooperation’, but at least they didn’t fight anymore. That pleased the shaman.

“We should all still keep an eye for anything suspicious,” he explained as the demons brought them across the land towards the promised city, “If the entire city hears about us, then it can only turn into a mess. Besides, we will be outnumbered if that happened, so we should stay on our guard.” His voice was quite softened during those statements, but he hoped that they all understood the situation. Looking forward, he could see the contours of the large town that they soon entered; feeling like walking around a demonic version of Magnolia City, roads, houses and the passers-by let out an urban atmosphere. It wasn’t that ‘demonic’ as one might’ve imagined the term to feel like, but moreover civilized. The demons who guided them to this place had vanished as soon as they entered, perhaps out of the extreme anxiety and ‘Heraphobia’ which was given by the cherry-haired mage. The shaman looked around, while Kyuken soared forward to take a close look at the city’s streets. “Look… I don’t have such a good vision,” the ghost commented, “And I’m guessing that Zirconis don’t have, either.” Sending two, sharp eyes at the sudden dragon ghost, Kyuken made it obvious that they had to use a plan in order to find the exact location. Who knew, the kids could be right below them, in a secret cave that only the mayor of this city knew. Speaking of ‘mayor’, perhaps it was reasonable to speak with that demon first.

Three figures stepped right before them, stopping Mura from setting a foot into the street. They were just as large as the one whose fingers were abused by Hera earlier, and their number intimidated Mura a little. They held out their right hand each, signalizing the prohibition of entering. "You shall not pass," they spoke in unison, “Ningen no Madoushi, Human Mages. Flee if you worry for your own safety…” Slowly looking up at their muscular faces, Mura felt that another challenge arrived. The demons earlier were proven of the group’s right to continue through combat, so perhaps it was the same case with these guys. “The news havent’ come to you yet, huh…” Mura mumbled, “Listen… big, red demon, other red demon; we don’t intend to violate you all. We’re only here to bring back-“ He was stopped by a sudden footstep towards him, in which he gritted his teeth in surprise. One of them approached the group which got covered by the large devil’s shadow. “The kids from the other world, no…” he stated while lifting up his face, “Not until you show us-“ As the demon was about to state the obvious, Mura simply turned around and walked closer to the human mage group again, totally careless about the conversation’s turn. “I’m not fighting you guys,” he spoke softly. The demon who was talking suddenly stepped back in surprise, not having expected this due to their orders from the Demon Advisor. While laying a hand on Takumi’s shoulder, Mura continued: “-but if what I think is true, then why don’t you just challenge the two, big guys right here? Takumi and Rock-Guy will put up a decent evidence of our right to enter.”

“Say what!?” a large guard shouted before a smaller, yet more influential and authorized demon, “B-But then we’re just letting them enter our very home, or towns..!!!” The Advisor held up a hand to ask the demon to stop with the blabbering. “Listen, if those really are from the mage guilds of the other world, then this is a serious situation that could bring our entire population in a dangerous state,” he explained. The two guards looked at each other in confusion, yet they knew the danger that awaited them. “However, we know only that they’re after the two kids from the same planes. Perhaps they aren’t as hostile as we may think.” Stepping towards the exit at the office, the Advisor sighed a little. “… I want to see them. You better challenge them, or you’ll realize the true meaning of my name.” The threat caused the two guards to step back in horror, knowing about the Advisor’s reputation in combat. They had no chance against him, but what was his plan? “If you challenge them, then they will most likely be forced to approach us faster. Besides, the chief has given them green light to come over here, anyway, so why not let them rush to the kids’ rescue?” The Advisor laughed a little at his own genius, while the two demons scratched their heads. “S-So we have to stop them … in order to let them come? Is that what you say?” the other asked. “Exactly,” the Advisor replied, “Meanwhile, I’ll stay with the chief. If they turn out to be hostile and rush to our leader first, then I won’t show them any mercy…”
