Get rid of that pesky blockade![Alleria and Zancrow/Mission]

Alleria was at Clover Town's train station. Apparently a bunch of hooligans have been terrorizing the good citizens by disrupting the flow of everyday life. You ask how was that possible, simple, by cutting off the only existing entry and exit point of the city, the train station. Usually Alleria wouldn't care for such trivial things, but as most of her supplies, particularly the ale and wine are imported from neighboring towns, it had become her business to interfere. So here she was, on a job request, waiting alone in the platform for the person who also applied for the job. She had no idea what kind of person her partner would be. If he was a guy or was she a girl. What magic he or she posses and weapon he or she may wield. Variables necessary for their team up to work. She really did not like the idea of having to work with a greenhorn but the agency insisted on it vehemently. So she had no alternative but to agree to their term, the sooner she gets rid of those hoodlums, the faster she can go back to her Pub and start serving beer.

Minutes passed by, but still no one came. She was about to go on her own when she heard the sound of feet treading on cement. She turned around and whispered. "Finally!"

Aizen sighed,walking towards Clover Town's Train Station.This would be his first mission since he joined the dakr guild,Savage Skull.Not that he's like all those dark mages,blood thirsty and on a killing spree.It's just that,joining the dark guild is his way of working to achieve something he want.Shaking off the thoughts from his mind,he walked towards the Train Station,lazy.It is told that some irresponsible individuals had put blockades at the town's entrance and exit.Not that Aizen would cared,but they had cut down the source of living for the people of Clover Town.The birds' chirps had given Aizen a good rhythmic walk.The walk,however,is just like how he walks lazily,as he is..lazy.

Arriving,he saw a lady,with green hair,turning to look at him.That must be my partner.. Aizen thought,a bit excited to know that his first mission's partner would be a lady.Aizen stood in front of the lady,introducing himself.Hi,I am Aizen.The full name's Aizen Kratos De Negatatia IV.Nice to meet you.Are you my partner for this mission? Aizen tried to be as honest as he can.He smiled,staring directly towards his partner's eyes.

She was about to snub the man that the agency sent to play as her partner but as the man got closer and got a better look at him she was stunned at what she saw. Blueish black hair, piercing black eyes that changes hue to a lighter shade of purple when lights strikes upon it, and that face, finely chiseled jaws and a prominent cheekbones. He looked exactly like a prince that he knew. "It cant be." Her mind and heart was racing, does her eyes deceive her, he looks exactly like his beloved Lelouch. She was in a state of shock when she noticed his lips moving. "He's talking to you fool, say something you dork. He just looks like him, he is not him." she convinced herself.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I am Al....Arya, Arya Stormborne. And yes I am your partner for this mission." she said with her cheeks burning red. She wanted to stretch out her hand to give him a proper handshake but her body was not obeying her. It also doesn't help that he's staring straight into her eyes with those captivating eyes. Alleria fidgeted and looked away before she spoke again. "They briefed you of the situation right? What do you propose we do now?"

Aizen blinked his eyes a few times in confusion.He didn't understand why Arya suddenly acted awkwardly upon seeing his face.Scratching his head,Aizen said,Well,o-okay..What do you suppose we do..hm.. He thought for ideas for a while.Aizen got an idea and smiled wide.I know,we're going to hunt for the monsters that caused the blockades. Aizen said,grabbing Arya's hand.He ran towards a nearby blockade,pulling Arya with him.A sudden urge to complete the mission faster suddenly rose inside Aizen.Upon reaching the blockade,Aizen saw a man,and some other men discussing something."You,are you the mages sent to get this blockade off the way?" A man suddenly called out for Aizen and Arya.

So,what caused this? Aizen pointed towards the blockade."Well,two monsters,a goblin and a vulcan did this,and demanded something crazy to remove it." The man replied,angry and a bit annoying.Why?It's not like they requested 100 pies and some ridiculous dessert..right? Aizen laughed at the thought.No way monsters could request something like that."Actually,they did." The man replied short,much to Aizen's shock.Wha-!?They did?? Aizen was comically infuriated.These pie-eating monsters had disgraced the monsters' good names.

Alleria's temperature was rising. She could also feel that her face was growing redder than ever "He's holding my hand!" She could feel his calloused hand clamp down on her's. For some reason, the green field, the rustic appearance of the rail and the station, it seemed that everything was panoramic. Like she was in a dream and that she was floating in air. "You do know that your prince charming is alive and well on the other side of the universe and he would find it a bit of a let down if your swooning over a doppelganger of him." That realizations snapped her out of cloud nine. Still she cant help herself. If she could, she would make Lelouch stay here. But she knows she can't do that, eyes are always watching, so its better if they don't know.

Suddenly they stopped, two nosy men are at the track. While her partner was busy talking with them, she let herself free of Aizen's clutch and assessed the damage those hooligans have done. Its was not a single blockade, they had place blockade placed in every 10 meters of the rail track. She was not sure if the situation was the same down the tracks, but she was certain. They cant remove them completely without confronting the group responsible for this hullabaloo.

Hm...Well,this is hard.What kind of monster seriously asks pies and desserts from humans? He thought.Aizen would've hoped that Arya would help him with something,but it seems like she isn't on the mood to think.Maybe they want to trick this humans.. Aizen starts making predictions.Maybe the monsters wanted to trick the humans into thinking that they just seriously want desserts,when they actually want to eat the human themselves.hm...well.. Aizen tried to find ideas.

Suddenly,he smiled,having gotten an idea.I'll disguise as someone dumb to trick them,and then you buldge in to the rescue.Got it,Arya? Aizen said,laughing at the word 'rescue'.He put on a pair of spectacles,and turn to Arya.Well,do i look dumb enough? Aizen asked,smiling wide.Shockingly,he finds this mission fun.

Alleria nodded to let him know that she got what he wanted her to do. Still, it would have been easier if they just had cause a ruckus and taken them out. This plan was a bit subtle for her taste, still she didn't want to offend the guy so she's going along with his plan.

She quickly ran towards a nearby overgrowth of shrubs and bushes and proceeded to hide. Like a panther, she patiently waited, and waited and waited. She was in hell, she was almost squatting on the ground making her leg and thigh ache, creepy bugs crawl up her legs and thigh now and then and the prickly leaves making her itchy. She was royally pissed off, perhaps it would have worked better if she was the bait, she could always play the damsel in distress card.

Seconds passed by turning into minutes. She watched her partner from her secret spot, wishing those damned hooligans to appear already so she can pounce on them, but alas there was none that came. She was about to give up when she heard a set of footsteps approaching. Finally, and its about time too, she was almost about to burst out and complain to her new partner, even demand that they trade places. She put herself on standby mode, ready to react if her partner needed help.

Sounds of stomping footsteps could be heard.Aizen prepared himself for the act.He messed his hair and his clothes,hopefully making him look dumb..while being untidy.To be frank,Aizen is actually bad in acting,but luckily he is good in being stupid.Well,he is stupid most of the time.Well,here goes. Aizen said to himself,gulping a bit,nervous.He hopes that his skills in his ability to become,or act stupid is sufficient to trick the monsters.Aizen knew that by managing to deceive the monsters,it would make killing them easier.With the strong and attractive mage Arya waiting in the bush behind him,Aizen is confident that they would succeed in going through this mission just fine,well and safe in the end.Well,hopefully.The monsters had already standing before him as he had his previous thought."What the..we want pies and desserts,not some nerdy fool with glasses." One of the monsters,being a goblin,complained.The other one was a vulcan,twice the height of the goblin,with a pissed off face on it.Wooahh..monsterss..cool! Aizen said,adding his acting with an amazed tone,to convince the monsters.Thinking of a plan,he walked around the monsters,stopping when he is at the monsters' backside.They turned to face him,their backs facing the bushes Arya would be waiting in.Let me show you guys a magic trick. Aizen said,as he started to make weird movements with his hands."We will let this guy with his magic stuffs,and then have this goofy glassy guy as our lunch." The vulcan whispered to the goblin,giving him an indeed good idea.Unknown to the monsters,Aizen is actually signaling Arya to start a sneak attack.Come on,Arya..I hope you get this! Aizen thought to himself,giving a signal for Arya to start attacking the monsters.

Alleria saw Aizen made a hand gesture, it was time for her to act. She rushed towards the two unsuspecting monsters with great speed, it was so fast that in an instant she was behind them and delivered forceful chops at the back of their neck knocking them out. She gave Aizen an unsure thumbs up sign, for she was not sure if she did good or bad. Then she turned to the two sleeping brutes and say. "Now we just have to restrain them and before these guys wake up. Nekoshiki, come out!" There was a puff of white smoke and out came a hairy satchel that resembled a cross between a cat and a rabbit like monster. It bounced happily a few time before it lunged at Alleria, Nekoshiki glomped and licked her master till she was dripping with drool. "Alright , alright. I'm happy to see you too. Now if you would please, can you hand me some rope please." she told her shiki. The little critter settled at her hand then started to heave up, it continued to do that until it threw up a long coil of rope, a long wet coil of rope. She wiped the saliva out first then asked for her partner to tie up the two sleeping beauties. They had to make sure that they were bound tightly. After making sure that their work was secure enough, she sat down and waited for them to come too all the while playing with Nekoshiki who still lingered even after she had fulfilled her master's purpose.

Aizen was a bit stuttered.Amazed at how fast it would be.Woah..Arya..that was..fast. Aizen was amazed at the fact that Arya managed to take them down in..nearly a split second.The rope had been sufficient to tie the sleeping monsters,and that Aizen took extra precaution.He tied the monsters with the previously saliva covered rope as tight as he could.While he was tying the monsters,his somewhat cylindrical thermos-like container shook wildly.Oh,I see.You're not feeling comfortable? Aizen asked,as he took the container on his hands.Aizen sighed,twisting the container's cap slowly.Upon opening,the container let out a shadow-like creature.Soo..you finally decided to join the fun,eh? Aizen said,as the dark creature took it's form.Shut up.It was tight in there.I'm not a pet. The creature responded,a bit rude.It cracked it's neck bone,making an indeed threatening body posture.Well..at least i released you,Hadez. Aizen replied calm,scratching his head,giggling.I saw everything.That girl is stronger than you are.She's a graceful monster. Hadez stated,with intentions to compliment Arya's good job.He took the form of a shadow again,and seemingly disappearing into Aizen's shadow.After a few minutes of waiting,a monstrous grunt could finally be heard.The vulcan's eyelids slowly slid open.Arya,you may have the interrogation. Aizen said,giving Arya a chance to talk or whatever with the monster,continuing by sitting down the ground,waiting.

Killing time sucked, after Nekoshiki disappeared waiting for the monsters to awaken was a tedious task. Alleria really hated doing nothing, this was turning out to be one of those missions where she had to play the waiting game a lot. First waiting in the bushes, now waiting for the brutes to regain consciousness. After a few minutes of waiting the monsters finally stirred, soon the fully conscious monsters opened their eye, a bit confused on what just happened and why they were tied up in knots. "Arya,you may have the interrogation." Aizen really didnt have to tell her that, she had been itching to do this since they fell asleep.

Alleria knelt down in front of the vulcan. A weird orange glowing mark appeared on her forehead as she placed her hand on the monsters shoulder, as stared into her target's eyes, the vulcan started to enter a trance like state,as if it was zombiefied. When she was sure that she started to interrogate them "How many of you are guarding the blockade?" The vulcan answered in a monotone voice "There are three groups looking out for the blockade." Alleria nodded then asked again "Tell me their location and the exact number of each group." The entranced vulcan answered "One group composed of 3 vulcans and 3goblins are hiding by the forest glen 300 meters up ahead, 4 vulcans and 2 goblins by the tunnel and our chief vulcan and 6 vulcans and 4 goblins are hiding under the bridge by the end at the edge of town."

She looked at Aizen and said "Did you get that? We should proceed dismantling the blockeds along the way, lets just be cautious at the aforementioned places. " She then looked at the two monsters, the vulcan was finally out of the trance and was struggling to escape. "As for these guys, lets just leave them here. Im sure the Rune knights will take care of them. Their bound really tight so I dont think they're going anywere."

Aizen walked with Arya away,leaving the two tied monsters.Arya had said to leave them to the Rune Knights,to which he agrees.There're so much of them. Aizen complained,too lazy to deal with such numerous monsters they had just got told about.Aizen wonders if he can really deal with such monsters.He turned his head to look at Arya,looking confident from the beginning of the mission.Well..i'm sure you can do best,Arya. Aizen said to Arya,recalling the fast movements she had made previously.It was fast,and it amazed him.After some walks,they are finally at the forest glen,which is 300 metres away like the somewhat hypnotized monster had told Arya while under her spell.Aizen stopped walking,and looked around.You sense that? Hadez asked from his shadows,to which Aizen nodded.Unexpected,3 vulcans jumped out of the bush they're in front of."KILL!" One of them shouted,and all of them started to strike towards them,in rather a rushing way.Now! Aizen said,as Hadez came out from his shadows,with an electrical dark sphere prepared.Aizen held out his palms,and two black spheres emerged.The two of them launched the spheres in a coordinated timing,cooperating with each other.But sadly though,one of them was deflected away by the wooden bet one of the vulcans are holding,and the two of the spheres missed their target.Whatta.. Aizen and Hadez stuttered,comically running down tears.Aizen had no choice,but to leave the rest to Arya,while he cooldowns.

Alleria was about to come to her partner's side to help him fend off the monsters when three nasty looking goblins appeared out of nowhere, cutting off her path. The goblins didnt look that menacing, they had pick axes and hoes for weapons and they werent even that pointy. "Well look what we have here. A fine looking morsel just waiting for us to gobble it up." said one of the crooked looking goblins. Alleria was not in the mood to play around. Her partner needed her help but she had to deal with these nuisances first. Raising her hand a bright red light appeared and a sword bathed in red aura materialized. She grabbed the sword with her right hand then lifted her left hand. A few meters from where Aizen stood, a violet magic circle appeared and a bat was summoned from the summoner's circle. Thru mind link she talked to Korchin and instructed him to get rid of the vulcan. "Alright master, I will do my best" Korchin let out a silent screech that altered the all the monsters balance and while screaming began attacking the vulcans with his razor sharp talons and fangs.

Meanwhile the goblins saw an opening for attack while the girl stood there looking out of focus. They dashed towards her, aiming their crude weapons. Fortunately enough, she was done talking to Korchin so she was aware of that the goblins are about to do. She braced herself for their attacks and with a defensive stance, awaited for the chance to make a counter.

OOC:First set of dice for pet, second set for attacking goblins.

Can't just stay here and do nothing. Aizen proclaimed,rolling his fingers to fists.He closed his eyes as he focused,when suddenly two magic circles appeared on them."Look at that guy,now's the chance!" two of the three previous vulcan,with the third one got knocked down by Arya's summoned bat,took the chance to strike Aizen.They thought to strike while the iron's hot,but Aizen proved otherwise for him.He opened his eyes,and his left eye bore an insignia on the eyeball.I'll show you! Aizen said,rushing towards them,as they do the same to him.The two vulcans swung their hold weapons towards him,to which one of them hit his abdomen.It was painful for Aizen,but he managed to hold the recoil,and grabbed the wooden bat,saving himself from being sent away from the hit.His fists was suddenly engulfed in dark essence,and he launched a set of attacks.He started by launching a straight punch towards the first vulcan's face,but it missed.Not wanting to waste time,he spun mid-air,sending his left leg for a sweep towards the second vulcan.But it proved itself to be a challenge,and stopped the sidesweep kick using it's right arm.the sweep kick's aftermath brought Aizen towards the ground,and he launched another sweep kick towards the first vulcan's leg,hoping to take it down.But both of them were astonishingly matching with d-rank mages,as they jumped,backing away from both Aizen and his sweeping leg.Dammit.How good are they? Aizen complained,taking a deep breath after another.The pain on his stomach started to sting again,and he tries his best to let it slip by.

Alleria was fast but two managed to land a hit, too bad for them them though for she activated her weapon and armor. Using the blade of saya, she blocked their attacks and sent their weapons flying off their hands. All the while a violet light emanated from her her cloak, which had now transform into a full body armor and two black sickles extended from it and chopped off their hands. The two goblins screamed out in agony as green blood gushed out from the severed appendage. Alleria took this opportunity, to end their miserable existence while they were still in a state of shock and pain. She raised her swords and with two quick blows, cut off their heads. The headless corpses dropped flat on the now bloody meadow. The goblin who failed to hit her watched in sheer horror, he had no idea that such an innocent and tasty looking girl could do such thing. The hair on his back stood up, the green haired girl was now looking his way. It quickly stood on its feet and tried to run away, but even before it could take one step, he felt a sharp pain in its chest. When he looked down, he saw something shiny drenched with green slimy goo. It was the young girls blade, impaled straight trough its chest.

Meanwhile Korchin managed to knock one vulcan down. For huge lumbering beasts, they were quite fast. The other two managed to avoid his talons. He was about to launch another attack but it seems her master's partner had other plans. So instead, he kept his distance. Just hovering a few feet from them and ready to help in case things go awry.
