Finding Runes with Grema Fen and Lumindis[Job]

Grema took the chance given to her, and while slightly surprised by what she assumed a ranged attackers melee shot, the mage quickly shouted “Magi Shift: Sword!” she yells while sprinting forward, causing the end of her fake arm shift into a short sword glowing with magical energy. She hacks one and he takes a step back, growling menacingly at the wound she made.

The men who were attacking the group at the moment seemed like the drug abuser types to Grema’s medically trained eyes. They were sloppy and erratic with their movements, but needles or buckets or poison some of them were holding looked dangerous. Grema hoped none got onto her, and also hoped that the others had the same idea. She was able to slash at another one before she had to use her magitech leg to jump away from several needles attempting to stab her.

“You know I heard cocaine is not all that’s cracked up to be.” Grema snarks as another druggie attempts to throw poison on her, but trips over himself over his surprise at her pun. ‘Danm those things are useful.’ The scientist thinks to herself, while continuing to dodge and slash at her opponents.

Liam and Ignis were amazed by the groups abilities but putting that aside they had to battle the bandits,Liam pulled out one of his swords as Ignis seemed to be sucking in air.Liam ran behind on of the thieves backs and hit him in the head with his fist.Liam was having fun being able to fight with other people.Ignis blew out the air she sucked up as it turned into fire hitting the other three bandits.One of the thugs threw some needle looking objects at Liam,but as soon as the needles were shot Liam jumped out the way.Ignis was startled by what was happening but she wanted to make sure no-one was hurt in the group.She walked to Grema and Aliarey making sure they weren't hit or hurt by the thugs."You guys are ok right..?" she said softly. "I'm pretty sure they're fine Ignis" Liam would say to Ignis.Ignis was relieved by this but the thugs were still there.So they still had to be careful,Liam ran behind a tree,not really hiding behind it but he seemed to be doing something.Liam pulled out a silver key it seemed as he was going to summon one of his celestial spirits."Open gate of the dog,Lyon!" Liam said,nothing appeared though Liam started to scratch the key on the bark but nothing happened,Liam was in a vulnerable spot right now.But he was not targeted at the moment.

The blonde of the group took a breath after she had sent the bandit flying. She had done the move without much thought or even realizing her actions until the attack had made impact. Chaos surrounded her as her job companions and the rest of the bandits began to join in the fight. Aliarey took note of the needles and buckets of liquid the enemy wielded and could only roll her eyes. Those were not proper weapons, and being ambushed by such a pitiful group of junkies was embarrassing.

She was about to jump back into the fray and make more melee styled hits when Ignis approached to ask if she and Grema were alright. That girl sure was annoyingly much too caring. What would she do next? Bring out a box of band aids and apply them mid-battle? Nevertheless, Aliarey's anger calmed as she felt the newfound strength leave her body. "Hey, don't answer for me, pretty boy," Aliarey responded, feigning offense towards his action of answering the question for them. He was actually right though. She was fine, and she doubted Grema had much trouble since she made one of the bandits trip just by speaking, proving once again that the hunchback should never be allowed to say anything. Her words were obviously over-powered and affected ally and foe alike.

Aliarey barely took notice as Liam ran off somewhere. Her focus was on the now weakened bandits. They had been slashed at, burned, and apparently enjoyed tripping over themselves. Might as well finish it off. A flash of white light magically appeared within her right hand and took the shape of a small disc. She then tossed it onto the ground in front of her and allowed it to light up and form into that of a small turret. The weapon reacted quickly, instantly firing magical projectiles as its barrel went from left to right in a small arc. The attack was meant for the bandits but that did not mean her allies were incapable of getting hit if they were in its firing path. Still, it got the job done. Some of the bandits dropped to the ground while the rest ran away to avoid another wave of attacks.

“I’m fine. Get out of the way before you get hurt.” Grema tells Ignis before jumping back into the fray as more gross drug abusers replaced their officially fallen companions. Grema rolled her eyes, she may not be that experienced of a fighter but even she could tell these guys were chumps.

She swung once, twice, three times at the offending thugs before she realized they had surrounded her. Grema made a quick check, and yup, these guys weren’t totally brainless. They had separated the mage from her allies. The good news is the crazy blonde’s magical blast hadn’t affected her. The bad news is she was surrounded by men with poisonous pointy objects. Grema had a plan but will need to herd some doped up sheep to do it.

“Hope this job of yours doesn’t require drug testing or urine trouble. Magitech smash!” Or they were just in trouble by encountering a bunch of tough mages. Grema couldn’t resist as she put energy into her arm and sent them all flying. When they landed she threw a few into one area and herded the rest to that area as well. The then muttered “Magitech Bomb.”, loaded the magic into the small ball, left it on the ground, then ran for it grabbing a worried Ignis on the way. Liam and Aliarey seemed far away enough, so Grema and the girl hid behind as tree as the mage said “Ignite!” and the area behind them exploded, ideally underneath most of the junkies as she had calculated. And sure enough, most of the thugs were twitching unconsciously on the ground. A good hit or two helped the rest take a nap.

Liam said to Aliarey and Grema. "Again with the pretty boy?" He said in with an annoyed expression on his face.Liam pulled out a gold key,and did a motion with it like a slash."Open Gate Of The Ram,Aries!" He said as a Lady stepped out of a pink portal."What shall i do for you today Liam?" She said."Why don't you deal with those thugs over there?" Liam said.Aries got into a fighting pose and magic circles appeared on her hands."Wool Bomb!" She said as she held out her arms swiping them making wool shoot out of her hands shooting at the thugs."I hope this was good enough" She said.The thugs did seem like they needed some more hits to be dealed with."Wool Shot!" SHe said as she shot out more pink wool at the thugs.Liam ran up to them and finished them all off with a hit on the head."That should do it!" He said as all of the wool disappeared."Good job Aries!" he said to Aries smiling.

'Monster Dice' :

Aliarey took simple notes as everyone split and made their own attacks with their magic. If Grema had mentioned before she could use bombs she might of taken a bigger interest in her magitech. Then again maybe the hunchbacked woman did mention it and she just did not take notice of it during her nap. Liam's goat-like lady was a little surprising, having attacked with giant pink balls of fluff. She soon came to the realization that she never did ask before what he could do and now that blank space was filled with the title of summoner. Both job companions seemed to be useful for now, seeing as they held their own and finished the second wave of bandits off by themselves. But there was little time to celebrate or even time enough to take a breath.

The sounds of roaring engines could be heard and within seconds a large group of motorcyclists came into sight. They stopped and kept their distance though as they were awaiting orders. Orders from who one might ask? Fits of amused laughter echoed through the trees and soon four figures revealed themselves in the center of the motorcycle group. One was a rather large and fat man and seemed to be the loudest with his obnoxious laughter. Another wielded two scimitar and was the stereotypical quiet and mysterious type. Between those two was a rather pretty woman, but her choice of attire was quite revealing and that of what a hooker would wear. Her arms were wrapped around the last member of the four, a man that moved with great confidence and conceit.

The fourth man clapped his hands together as if he had just watched the ending of a performance. "Well that was certainly entertaining. Don't you think so, boys?" More amused laughter went through the group. "I gotta say it sure is rare we ever get to play with the idiots that actually fall for that job ad. We'll actually get to have some fun for once." It was then he took notice at just how many women were in the group. He was the sort of man that pimped out women if he was not busy with them himself, and he could do with more. The woman clinging onto to him took a guess at what he was thinking. A wave of jealously went through her but it quickly passed as she looked at the group of mages and chuckled. "Don't tell me you're going to take the hunchback. I don't think our gang is quite so desperate."

"Huh? Nah, we'll just kill that one. We also have enough dumb blondes and I am not into goats. The purple haired one though..." It was decided. He would have the rest of the gang members capture Ignis and kill off the rest. With a snap of his fingers he motioned for the group of ten motorcyclists to rush forward and attack. The four main gang members remained where they stood to watch and wait.

“Who the hell are you calling a hunchback you who-?!” Grema screams at them before dodging a gun of some sorts shooting flames at her. The bikers cackled as they wheeled around the group in a circle, every once in a while taking pot-shots as them. They were blocking the way to the two nincompoops, meaning they had to get through at least half of the group before they can reached their bosses.

At the moment Grema just happened to be standing in front of Ignis, blocking her from view of the 4 creeps. Purely by coincidence of course. Definitely. But the purple haired girl would have to take care of herself for a moment since Grema needed to clear the way.

So she swept in, sword glowing with magic light by her side. Admittedly beating these guys was probably easier for her to do since she had deep knowledge of mechanical engineering. Stabbing their stupid mane’s guns where they would explode was child’s play, as well as slashing at their bikes to make themselves and others crash. The ones who were still up and running after that shit-show got a few good slashes from Grema’s arm sword. ‘Hopefully, that eased thing up for everyone else.’ The engineer thought as she observed the semi-burning piles of flame throwers, motorcycles and brutes, wonder if it will explode or not. So far the flames haven’t reached the motorcycles gasoline so they were good for now.

Stats:

Liam wasn't looking,at the battle and looked at what keys Ignis brought for him to use.She brought him the four main Celestial Keys that he used the most.As Liam looked back there were motorcycles,and the bikers using them on the floor and some flamethrowers as well.Liam had no clue what was even happening,after that there were four people heading towards the small group of Aliiarey,Liam,Grema and Ignis.Most probably the main man stood in front of the Group.The whole group did look a bit scary but they probably wouldn't be able to defeat the party.Aries hid behind Ignis,Ignis hid behind Liam as well."What are you two doing? There might be a fight soon get ready!" He said.They stood beside him this time and got into fighting stances.

Liam listened to their comments."Hey! That's rude to call someone a Hunchback!" Liam said to the only lady of the group."We honestly don't care so it would be much better to shut up pretty boy" She said in reply to Liam. Liam had enough of this and dashed to the lady unsheathing one of his swords.He slashed the lady pulling her apart from the leader of the group."Don't even try to hurt us pretty boy,you'll just end up losing in the end" The lady said,she seemed to be very confident that they were going to beat the party,soon after she pulled out two steel fans,but not with her hands,some type of magic was holding it up for her.She held out her hands and cut the air as the fan almost hit Liam."That was close..." Liam thought.He dashed back to the lady striking her with his sword again but soon after the lady slashed him with one of the fans.Ignis and Aries ran to the lady and tried to grab the fans out of the air,The lady tried to move the fans around but the girls were hanging on the fans trying to break them or something.This scene did look a bit weird,but the lady was in a very vulnerable spot now.

"Dumb...blonde..." Aliarey's hands clenched into fists at the comment the main man of the group of four made. It wasn't as bad as Grema being called a hunchback but the gun mage still hated the blonde stereotype. She was reckless, not dumb. There was a difference! She made her own efforts to dodge the flame blasts of the bikers and soon it would seem Grema had taken them all out single handedly. Liam and his spirits even separated the woman of the group of four shadows from the rest. It was time to take action of her own. The smell of gasoline reached her nose, a smell she quite enjoyed since it meant there was a free boost to her own explosive capabilities. The safety of her own allies barely even crossed her mind. They could handle themselves and the four gang members needed to be dealt with quickly. Her patience was wearing thin.

In a flash of light her black boots were replaced with a type of rocket boot that allowed her to increase the distances of her jumps. Next appeared a type of two handed grenade launcher. She took hold of it as she sprang up into the air, soaring straight up and aiming the weapon at the enemy. They were semi-spread out now but with the added gasoline throughout the area it would make a big explosion. She pulled the trigger and fired, releasing a round and spikey explosive. It clunked against one of the motorcycles upon landing, causing a chain reaction of flame and explosions. Another shot was fired at what should of been three gang members but the one wielding the scimitars was missing. As she noted the missing member, she found herself slashed at and pushed backwards during her descent into the fire pit below.

She landed safely on a spot that was not covered in fire but she had to bring a hand to her abdomen to stop the bleeding from where she had been struck by the scimitar. As with most stereotypical mysterious guys he was also the quick one. She was often the quick one as well but with her injury she doubted she could move at her top speed. The blonde returned her grenade launcher back into its storage realm and summoned forth a pair of revolvers that contained the electrical element. They were currently her strongest set which at that moment was a great plus.

The man that was her opponent said nothing and charged in for another attack, evading the few electrical shots from the guns that came his way. He swung a scimitar her way but Aliarey moved to the side to avoid it. She made a shot at him with her own weapon as he came in for another swing. Both attacks collided with their intended targets and in reaction they both took a step back from one another. She hated being in melee range, but with her current opponent it was getting difficult to escape. Even if she propelled herself into the air with her rocket boots he had already proven he could catch up with little effort and attack in the air. The man composed himself and came in again to which Aliarey responded by repeating what she had done before but this time ducking low to the ground and sweeping her leg around to trip him. Surprisingly, it worked. The mystery man fell to the ground on his back and was soon shot with the main ability of her electrical pistols. It damaged him heavily and she did not allow him to regain himself for Aliarey shot him once more from each pistol to finish it off.

The fat one's attention was focused on Grema. He had been hit by the earlier explosion of Aliarey's grenade but he still had enough strength and health to be quite the opponent. The pimp of the group made no move yet. Rob the Wall had protected him from the explosions and at the moment he enjoyed sitting pretty and watching the show.

‘That blonde bimbo!’ Grema fumed as she picked herself up again after being thrown several meters by the blast Aliarey set off. It could have been worse if Grema hadn’t been expecting a blast sooner or later, just that the Requip mage set it off nearly right away. Though in the end it was a good thing, so Grema could forgive her.

But Grema barely had a moment to re-orient herself before a giant fist slammed down where Grema had just been sitting but had rolled away after seeing the incoming attack. “You ready for a beat’in ulgy? Well Rob the Wall has one nice and fresh for ya.” The large man sneers at the woman as she quickly got to her feet. Grema barley noticed his hideous laughter because she was seeing red.

“Ugly? UGLY?! Your calling me ugly you fatso?!” Grema screeched at him. Rob frowned at her, then growled, his body growing and strengthening. “You're gonna regret calling me fat.” He growled at the girl, then shot forward and slammed a hand into the ground, causing a miniature earthquake. Grema stumbled and that’s all the Wall needed to move forward and punch the cyborg, sending her flying into a tree.

Grema let out a groan of pain, then a growl. She jumped to her feet and yelled “Ya? Well, give it up your fat! Don’t sugar coat it cause you’ll eat that too.” With a roar of rage at the comment Rob swung both fists down at the girl, but her mechanical leg made her faster than Rob could swing. “I’m not fat I’m in shape!”

“Well I guess round is a shape. And you did beat anorexia, so good on that.” She snarked and sent Rob into a rage. Which gave her the perfect opportunity to say “Tech Fire Shot!”, aim, then shoot a large ball of fire at the man, knocking him out cold.

“That’s what you get for calling me ugly, ugly.” Grema growled over the battered man victoriously. It was very mild compared to Grema's usual revenge, but there were children nearby so she held herself back for their innocence. Now there was only the leader of this group to battle.

Liam looked at what was happening while Aries and Ignis were distracting the lady of the group.There were many explosions,which was pretty nice lots of loud noises and fire were seen out and about on the battle field.A couple of seconds later the lady managed to get the girls off her fans and they soon dropped to the ground. "Ow..." They said in unison,idiots right?

Liam was a bit surprised that the lady was even able to get them off her fans.Liam dashed to the lady slashing her fans,seeing if it would collapse or not,nothing really happened to it it was just floating in the air like it was stuck in place."What was that for? Or was just that an idiotic move pretty boy?" the lady would say."Ugh... Again with the pretty boy? Well at least i don't look like a hooker!" Liam said,the lady suddenly was angered by this comment he made.

She cut the air with both hands as the fans tried to cut Liam.The fans cut in a X Shape making a small gust of wind visible to the eye in the shape of an X,Liam dodged it quickly and ran to the lady slashing her with the sword one more time.She still wasn't defeated,she was a very tough opponent.Aries and Ignis ran behind the lady and pulled her down making her fall down,They then hit her with sticks,though that really do anything it did damage her clothes but that was all really.Her fans then shoved Ignis and Aries away,one did cut Aries dealing severe damage to her.She ignored it for the time being,The lady was in a vulnerable state and Liam took advantage of this.He slashed the lady multiple times,she was left on the floor looking a bit lifeless.Finally she was dealt with,Aries did have to leave to the Celestial Spirit World soon though so that was kinda bad but he still had other spirits so it was fine."Good job guys! We can't celebrate early yet though,lets go and defeat the last guy!" He said to Aliarey and Grema.

The last man representing the four shadows just whistled slowly as he watched the action. It was surprising the other three had been defeated but he seemed quite un-phased and showed very little care towards their defeat. By that point he was more concerned with himself. "Well looks like it's all of you against little ol' me. Say, why don't you all just lay down your weapons and come with me. I'll put in a good word for you with the top boss."

An electrical shot was fired in his direction, coming from one of the pistols Aliarey held. They still had enough energy for a few more shots even if the main ability could not be used. Liam was right in that there was still one guy to be dealt with. He made a mistake when he allowed his gang members to do all of the work for him and now he was alone. The pimp just leaned to the side and turned his head around to watch the projectile pass by and hit a tree. "Whoa, careful, honey. That almost hit me. I guess I'll just have to teach all of you a lesson for what you did to my group." Nikolas slashed a hand in the air and a magical whip materialized within his grasp.

Chick, dumb blonde, honey, and blonde bimbo if Grema's earlier thoughts could be heard. What was with the nicknames? Every instance one was used annoyed her further and it was getting to the point of being ridiculous. There would be a lesson taught all right, but it would not be one for her to learn. That creep was going to get severely punished.

Aliarey ignored the pain from her wounds and jumped forward, allowing her rocket boots to propel her further. As she sailed through the air in quick fashion she fired more shots from her electrified pistols. Even though some of the shots made impact, Nikolas did not stop his own whip attack. The end of the whip smacked at her, making yet another injury, but she did not care. She crashed into the man from her long jump and the two fell to the ground. The man quickly regained his feet and attempted to kick the blonde in the face but failed when she grabbed onto his leg and unleashed a mini explosion from her hands. He fell down and soon Aliarey climbed on top and straddled him. "It's Aliarey, not honey." As the words left her mouth she forced the barrel of one of her pistols into his mouth and fired, sending an electrical shot coursing through his body. Strong gang member number four had been defeated.

'Monster Dice' :

Grema breathed a sigh of relief as Aliarey defeated the last of the four shadows. They could finally rest for a moment. Well, ‘rest’ was a strong word to use since most of the area they were in was on gasoline induced fire. Grema wasn’t too terribly worried about starting a forest fire since it seemed to be early spring in this world, thus it had a very wet environment at the time. She was more worried about the gasoline spreading into a nearby stream or something, then catching on fire. That at the very least would cause a lot of environmental damage Grema didn’t want to deal with.

Just as she was about to suggest to her companions that they should deal with possible environmental hazards while waiting for the rune knights to come along and arrest these goons, there was a faint sound coming from behind her. Instantly Grema used her magitech way to jump to the side, dodging what looked like an array of normal kunai. They all looked around warily.

“So you have defeated my four shadows… How unfortunate…. I would have liked to keep a few of you as pets if they had succeeded… bit nonetheless, here you all shall die….” A voice echoed out from all around them, making his exact whereabouts hard to pin down. “At the hands of their leader, Costas the Shadow! First I shall deal with the hunchback…”

“Don't call me a hunchback!” Grema yells even as she was suddenly flung away from the others, on the other side of a convenient wall of fire, by some sort of black rope. “Magi Shift: Sword!” She yells out just as the rope was about the drag her into the shadowy forest, which Grema figured would be a bad idea for her all around. She sliced off the rope then scrambled to the most open fireless area she could find, then prepared for an attack.

“How clever… but can you take this?” Suddenly more kunai was flung at her and Grema almost rolled her eyes at him doing the same trick twice. She dodged most of them and hit a few out of the air with her sword.

“Is that all you got-!” Grema’s boast was cut off as she was quite literally stabbed in the back. Looking over she noticed that kunai was completely black with whiffs of shadowy tendrils coming off it. And it hurt like hell, not only because judging by the blood she was feeling pooling inside of her saying it at least nicked a lung, but also because it was infused with powerful magic. Grema fell to one knee and coughed up some blood. ‘Dammit, we won't be able to hit him unless we can see him.’ She thinks, then quickly does some calculation through the haze of pain.

One moment she was crouched on the ground in near-defeat, the next moment had her burst forward in a sprint, yelling “Magitech Smash!” then firmly struck the ground near some trees, making the entire area shake. A very surprised form wearing black ninja armor fell to the ground, and Grema picked him up by the wrist and flung him into the fiery clearing for her allies to beat up. “Go get’em.” She grunted, leaning against a tree after she pulled out the black kunai. She then let her lineage take care of the rest, as she recovered a bit while her poisonous blood began to acidicly burned away her clothes on the scientists back while it did its healing.

Liam was finally able to have a bit of a break from all this fighting,so was Ignis.Liam and Ignis took in a deep breath."Good Job Guys!" He said to Aliarey and Grema.Everyone was fine for the time being.He held out a silver key cutting the air with it."Open Gate Of The Fallen Angel,Razor!" A Tall Man Walked out of a black portal.He already knew what he had to do,and shot some type of shadow at Grema,it wrapped it around her and healed her.They could've rested but all of the fire and oil and objects around would make that basically impossible for that to happen.

Soon after,a voice was heard."What was that?" He thought.Soon after a kunai was shot at Grema.Where did that come from?Whoever threw it was nowhere to be seen.Whatever it was,was a big threat to the group,if they weren't able to see it they couldn't attack 'it'.He held his sword like it was a knife and got ready for any attacks that were to come to him.Razor and Ignis went behind a tree,mostly so they were safe from whatever was attacking Grema."Come out and fight like a real man!" He said to 'it'."It's much more entertaining to see you all in pain,than just die right away,i mean unless you want to die" The voice said in reply.

Whatever it was went back to Grema apparently and just stabbed her,without anything being called out.It was a bit weird.He ran to Grema ,but as soon as he started to run she slammed her fist into the ground.There was a man in some black armor,he looked like a comic villain,he fell on the ground though,but so did Liam.Ignis and Razor stood still behind the tree.Liam got up as well as the comic villain looking man,he did have a mask so you could not see his actual face.He ran to him with his sword in his hand and tried to stab him,but he threw a Black Kunai at Liam,Liam quickly slashed cut it in half though one of the pieces still hit him.He ignored the pain and slashed the man.He was very sturdy,and was able to withstand the attacks they did to him.

Ignis ran to Liam and looked at the man with an angry expression.She started to suck up the air,and  soon after she blew out fire at the man,the man had some fire on his clothes but he was still fine,It was amazing that this man was able to withstand the parties attacks.

Aliarey sighed as the man she was currently sitting on went limp. "What a day." She retrieved her weapon and attempted to stand up but instead fell down to her knees as sharp pains coursed through her boday. Dammit. She needed to rest and maybe deal with her wounds. Granted, thanks to her, the current area was no longer suitable for such a thing. A mysterious voice then echoed through the trees, signaling that the fight was not yet over. Just how many of those guys were they going to have to deal with?

She watched as Grema battled the new arrival, and then Liam and Ignis as they made attacks of their own. The enemy had taken damage but it was not enough for him to go down. "Tch," Aliarey clenched her teeth in annoyance. Two of the four shadows had been taken down by her and now she had to help them finish off what seemed to be the head honcho. Did she have to do everything? Normally it would not have been a problem, but she had taken quite a few more attacks than she should have allowed. It was not her fault, of course. Somehow she would find a way to place the blame on her two associates.

With the man currently focused on Liam and Ignis, Aliarey saw an opportunity to finish things off once again since she was, at that moment, left alone and forgotten. Another disc was summoned into her hand, this one being more powerful than the other. Once it landed on the ground after being thrown it formed into a cannon-like turret, and using even more of her magical energy allowed it to clone itself into another turret. The two turrets could only shoot in one direction and she was sure she had them placed correctly to ensure they would hit the desired target.

Two white beams of magical energy fired in a straight line towards the distracted enemy and made impact, the force of the beam pushing the boss man quite a ways away from where he originally stood. He would later been seen on the ground motionless, indicating his defeat. Yet the main battle of the adventure was not over. A group of straggler junkies appeared in the area and among themselves discussed taking over the gang now that the boss and the group that was second in charge were eliminated. They grabbed onto their poisonous weapons and were about to attack the now weakened group of mages when one of them was dragged back into the forest, screaming. The junkie group looked back in shock as their friend was taken away by something unknown. Another was then taken. As the rest started to run away beast-like creatures jumped from their hiding spots within the forest and devoured them. The fire all around the area was a beacon that led the beasts right to them and they were hungry. Now with the junkies gone all that was left to eat was the oddball mix of mages that remained. They were surrounded.

Grema swears up and down in every language she knows and is tempted to swear in binary, when a herd of freaking huge monsters descends on them, possibly startled by the fire. Why they would go toward the deadly fire, Grema no idea. Maybe they were just that incredibly panicked? Or possibly they were strong enough creatures to be able to overlook the fire entirely and just head for the stupid humans who not only infringed on their territory but destroyed it as well. Actually, by the fierce looks on the beast’s faces, it was probably that one.

“Take cover! Get into the tree’s!” The cyborg yells as her companions as a stampede begins to descend on them. It would buy them a little time to fight back at least. Grema used her magitech leg to leap into a nearby tall, sturdy looking tree, hoping the others did the same. The mage then pulled out a handy bomb and said “Magitech bomb!” then threw it at the offending monsters. Then with an “Ignite!” yelled out and a push of a button, kaboom. ‘Damn those bombs are useful.’ Grema thought, appreciating her own invention.

The monsters began to swarm the area, and Grema took a deep breath to prepare herself. Then with her mechanical sword arm held ready, she leaped into action. A slash here. A stab there. A mighty kick or two. Most of all, a whole lot of accidental flying and shaking as these monsters practically batted her around like a doll. But even so, she was surprisingly not losing and soon stood victorious over the bodies of at least 10 of the monsters. Hopefully, the others killed the rest of them. She felt rather like a pinata that had been beaten to the point the candy was almost ready to spill out and could use a break.

Liam was a bit annoyed with how many people they had to fight during this job or quest,but they probably would be payed alot for this so he kept his hope up.Suddenly a herd of footsteps could be heard from afar,maybe people were running here,though he really couldn't see how people would be able to run around here without getting hurt or without meeting the gang of mages they had just dealt with.

A couple of seconds later the footsteps were louder and some trees fell down,a large group of beasts were running towards the party of mages,Liam hid behind a tree as soon as Grema had warned them,Ignis jumped on top of Liam,They both did fall down but they were fine behind the trees.The celestial spirit Razor Liam had summoned seemed to have disappeared from the battlefield.,it was a bit unfortunate but they were fine for the time being,they were met by around 30 beasts,they had menacing looks,Ignis jumped up and blew out some air,It didn't turn into fire though,Liam jumped to the monster slashing all of them,one of them however got a hit on him and dealt some severe damage to him,he was still able to fight though,he dealt with 10 of the monsters."That was easy" Liam thought.10 of the beasts fell down,Liam walked on them and poked them,making sure he dealt with the beasts.He was hoping that everyone dealt with the other beasts already.

"You've got to be kidding me!" It was just one thing after another. Waves of weaker enemies, a group of four that were stronger, the head honcho, and now a freaking ton of forest beasts. Aliarey did not want to question what would come next by that point. She was tired, pissed, and now apparently in trouble. The others were capable of moving quickly out of the way while there she was, on her knees on the ground, and her rocket boots now being absent due to expiring. She could hear the hum of her turrets charging for another attack, but they would not finish in time, and even then they would likely not be able to hit all of the beasts. It looked like her only option was to just take them down with another weapon. Her lightning elemental pistols were switched out for her fire set and her non-spell armor was replaced in a flash of light with an outfit suited for an old fashioned gunslinger. The fire revolvers were weaker in damage than her other set, but they were capable of hitting multiple targets at once and the armor itself would make her attacks slightly stronger.

The energy within the weapons combined to form a large fireball that, once the trigger of the two revolvers was pulled, split into several mini fireballs that hit the closest beasts to her. It was not enough to take them all out, however. She hid behind her turrets as a sort of small cover to buy time until she could properly deal with the beasts of the forest. The beasts attacked the charging turrets, causing enough damage to them that they were nearly destroyed. Aliarey knew all too well the explosion that happened whenever her turrets were destroyed or expired. It was usually best to not be so close to them whenever that occurred. Activating the ability of her spell armor, image clones were created and formed a large circle around the beasts, and her real self had moved from her original location and had taken a different place within the outline of the circle. She normally used the ability to confuse or delay opponents but this time it seemed it worked more as a small teleport. The beasts destroyed the turrets during her image clone creation and caused a minor explosion that destroyed them. All current enemies had been defeated.

Aliarey sighed with relief when the area had become quiet. Well, quiet enough that there were no longer people or wildlife trying to attack them. The fire from the many explosions that had gone off crackled throughout the area, but it was starting to die down. "Destroying the forest was part of the job, right?" She asked with a heavy hint of sarcasm.

“No. It was not.” Grema says, letting out a sigh at the massive amounts of destruction around her. Surprisingly the monsters did a good job at stamping out the fire so it wasn’t going ablaze anymore, but the damage was still done. “Oak-kay, who wants to be like a tree and leaf?” Grema jokes badly since they did just burn down a small portion of a forest. She didn’t actually think the rumors of mages destroying their surroundings on a job was true, her jobs tended to end up relatively property damage free (or at least it wasn’t her fault), but the proof was right in front of the magitech mage. They were as bad as Fairy Tail mages at this point.

“I think this job was a trap to lead weak mages to these bandits, probably even posted by them.” Grema assumed as she walked over to the leader of the group. Even if it was a dud they might as well get something out of it. A group this well-equipped must have some cash. Sure enough after a bit of shuffling around Grema heard the tell-tale clinking of jewels. There was quite a bit of it, and including what she got back from the jerk who stole from her this should be enough to start building her house and developing her magitech. “Payment time guys.” She says with a grin, then dumps the money out and counts it equally between them in the open, sleeves rolled up and gloves off, just so they don’t think she’s cheating them.

Then the scientist notices something else. On Costa’s hand was a ring giving out a good amount of magical energy, according to her magitech eye. Curious, Grema takes the ring off the man to inspect it, then balks in surprise. “Dammit, this faker isn’t even a mage! He’s just been using this ring as a power source to cast spells.” She tells the others in disappointment. Other than for studying it has little use for Grema, so she waves it in their faces and asks. “Who wants it?”

'Normal Dice' :

Liam watched Aliarey fight after he was done fighting off the monsters,there was alot of destruction happening around him which was pretty good for them but probably not for the enemies they were facing."Yep Part Of The Forest was totally part of the job" Ignis said.Liam and Ignis looked around,they were surrounded by many fallen trees,broken motorcycles,bodies on the floor and fire,it was like the Apocalypse.He looked at the leader,he really did look like a comic villain which was a bit funny to him.

"Hey did you guys ever notice how he looks like a comic villain?" He said with a smile on his face.The job was actually pretty fun even though they basically almost died.Ignis looked at everyone they defeated."You guys did pretty good,even though this most likely was a trap" She said looking at them all.Liam and Ignis watched as Ignis dealt with the defeated enemies,apparently the leader wasn't even a real mage,he was a fraud and gained his "Magic Power" from a ring,this wasn't even a holder magic item,it was just a ring that gave him special abilities.They probably would've been able to defeat the man by taking off the ring,if they noticed way earlier."Eh,I don't really need the ring" Liam said after Grema asked who wanted the ring,the party was able to survive on the job and made it back to the portal they came from,they reached the train station and said there farewells as Grema gave the party their jewel."Thanks guys! I hope we can see each other some other time" He said with a smile waving at them.Everyone went their seperate ways and the job was officially over.
