    A brutal wind whipped through Mathis's hair, sitting in the Bellum forward camp, his mask still atop his face. A frown was plastered on his lips, the discontent ancient warrior not daring show any weakness towards his companion in recent times, Lethe. The two had seemed to form a relationship of sorts, mostly at the insistence of the latter. Of course, it was still a two way street, and while Mathis was hesitant, he still accepted this as much as he found reasonably able. The two guildmates hardly knew each other, at least they used to, but now Lethe had seemed to cling to him on many occasions since the Single's Night mixer in the capital of Fiore. Two festivals later, and now they were compatriots in an entirely different context. The two were now on a battlefield, fighting someone. Mathis did not have any particular ties to either nation in this conflict. He merely sharpened Monado as he waited for instructions to come in. "I suppose you have some reason for choosing to fight for this country of Bellum?" Mathis asked Lethe, still looking around. "Regardless, I am happy to assist and I do hope that we do not encounter anyone that we personally know. I have sent Poppi ahead to do some scouting. We should be getting a report from her-"

    Almost as if on cue, the artificial Blade jetted in, saluting. "Master! Poppi has finished her report!" She said, lowering her guard and her rigid, formal stature. "Does Master wish for Lethe to hear this report?"

    Mathis nodded. "Yes. Combat reports do not hold the same degree of classification as our personnel reports. Go on, then."

    Poppi smiled. "Very well. Poppi has fully scouted the Pergrandian camp ahead. There are roughly one thousand soldiers present, all bearing significant armaments."

    "So we're outnumbered."

    "Correct, by about one hundred and fifty, with a skew possibility of another seventy five. Pergrande's army is more technologically advanced than the army of Bellum, though they do not appear to have any magical prowess. Or, at least, I detected no ethernano flow from the base outside of the ordinary. Mercenary forces are also unlikely, considering their numbers. The base is mostly infantry, though Poppi noticed several heavy tanks and mech suits in the area."

    "I doubt we will have to deal with those. Likely a way to intimidate. Any report on their progress towards engaging in combat?"

    Poppi nodded. "The Pergrandian camp does not seem to be mobilizing itself, taking more of a defensive position, yet Poppi noticed a large fluctuation in the amount of soldiers, suggesting that they are preparing for an attack."

    "I see. Very well. Thank you for your report. Investigate the western cliff face. Eliminate all enemies within the area, and if there are not any, set it up as a defensive position. I would wish to use it as a defensive position. You will take top priority there, and I trust you will use it well, however me or Lethe may arrive on the scene to provide additional support." Poppi saluted and walked off towards the west, Mathis sighing. "Apologies if that was a bit much. It has been some time since I was last used in a war capacity. I believe that must have been twenty years ago, in Calradia. I do not think you would be too interested in my war stories, though." He laughed a little. "I am certain you do not even want me to be wearing my mask now, considering your attraction to my face, but I have reason to wear this in unknown territory. Please, do understand." He got up, twirling Monado around in his hand. "If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that there is likely no more than a half hour until enemy forces on us. Poppi certainly does like to leave out details. I would guess they are going to surround us on the cliffs. I question why the army would leave their forward camp in such a strange place, but it is no matter. We shall work with it, I suppose. I hope you do not mind if at times I take too much control. Battle and war strategy is... a field I am well experienced in.

    Leave the Future in the Past, We're Living in the Present now, Baby!



    The archive slayer was dressed in a black and white and red one piece high collar halter leotard with a sweetheart neckline. Around her hips was a black waist cape that covered her left side while a furred tail decoration was on her right hip. Her hair was up in a tight high ponytail, keeping it out of her face as it was up like so. She was in the middle of stretching and doing some yoga as she and Mathis were in the camp, making some bits of metal here and there. Similar to Mathis' face, Lethe had a frown on her own lips, keeping her emotions in check here. As Mathis questioned if she had a reason for siding with Bellum, she was in the process of balancing herself on her forearms with her feet in the air. She tilted her head up to look at him. She let her feet lean back till they were over her head and touched the ground, showing how flexible she was. She pushes herself up to be bent backwards with her hands and feet touching the ground before she leans her knees forward some and shoves down hard with her hands to launch herself up. She looked over to Poppi as she approached. "I hope there are no more reports about me, yes?" She idly asked, but at the same time, she didn't care. She listened to Poppi's report, snorting at the 'outnumbered' bit. She nods to the rest of the information, taking it in and formulating attack plans for herself.

    As Mathis seemed to apologize for the report, she shook her head. "It was fine. Honestly refreshing to hear something so detailed." She allowed herself to crack a smirk for a brief moment. "As for my interest in war stories… I'm not interested in my birth mother's war stories, but yours feel they'd be quite intriguing. And while yes, I do enjoy your face, in a war, I wouldn't put it past you to wear one." She could care less for the current situation. Protection was protection.

    She tapped her ears and nodded to the other as he estimated time of arrival for the enemy forces, agreeing with him. As he mentions taking control, Lethe raised an eyebrow. "As long as you don't get in my way sometimes as well, I don't care." She pulled up one of her maps with her archive magic, and made notes in a corner of one of the digital screens. What Poppi was telling them. She pauses and looks to Mathis again. She didn't answer his question from before.

    "Also, I know no one here. Those I do know are on Bellum's side as well, but in a different area of the border most likely. As for why we're with Bellum, Pergrande does not like beings like you and I. Magic wielders in any way shape or form. They pushed the people who had magic out to Bellum, and think magic wielders should parish. Kind of obvious why I'd side with Bellum now, right?" She raised an eyebrow while cocking her head to the side. "I'd rather not be attempted to be purged by those who think I shouldn't exist for what I can do. That, and if this was to break out in an all out war, the people and the creatures and the lands would be in danger and disrupted. Pergrande isn't able to fix geological damage done to the lands as well as Bellum can. So its also logical to side with the country that can, don't you think?" She looked back to her map, nodding her head a little bit. "Also, we may be outnumbered physically, but not in power." She held a hand up and let a corkscrew looking sword form in her hand. A smirk on her face as she did so. Confidence was oozing out of her now. She glanced over towards the direction that the enemies were at, and lightly rolled her shoulder. “Ah… let's get ready.” She starts to casually walk towards the edge of the camp. She didn’t care if Mathis followed or not.

    After almost a half hour, the army did start to show up. The front rows seemed to be full of recruits fifteen in total it seemed. A snort came from Lethe as she felt she was being underestimated in this regard. Fifteen was such a low count. It was laughable to her. This wouldn’t be too bad. Time to flex. ‘Ready Veles?’ ‘I have to be regardless.’ ‘Good.’ She glanced to the Bellum mages in the army she joined up with, then looked for Mathis a bit.

    Turning her head would prove to be a bad idea, but also good as she heard a bullet whiz by her head. She turned her attention back to the army before her. Her phlox purple eyes locked onto the man who had decided shooting at her was a great thing to do. A smirk slipped upon her lips as she held her sword up at shoulder length… right at the man. He was her target. He had his eyes locked on her, and she knew she had his attention. She could barely wait anymore. She wanted to get this man to cry at her feet for even thinking of harming her. A few beatings should do it, right?

    "It seems as though we have a fight on our hands," Mathis said with a smirk, looking over to see that Poppi had set herself up in a good forward position to fight. "I trust you can handle those enemies on your own?" he asked Lethe, knowing that she could. He took a few steps forwards, drawing Monado as it shifted into in a giant axe, the head of which was easily twice the size of his head. Materializing behind him was the cross armed Zenobia, floating happily with a smirk on her face. "You ready to get a bit wild?"

    Zenobia smiled. "Hahahaha! Of course I am! I'm ready to go buck wild on these fools!"

    Mathis twirled the axe easily in his hand as he approached the one who seemed to be the leader of this group. The paladin smiled, looking at the ancient bladesman. "I'm interested to see how you fare, mercenary," she said with a grin. "You certainly don't seem to have much magic in you, do you?"

    Mathis shook his head. "I am afraid not. But my services have been asked for, so here I am."

    The woman scoffed. "Shame. You would do wonders with us."

    Mathis shrugged. "Perhaps. But that is neither here nor there. Let us begin."

    The woman smiled, holding a hand out as she manipulated a few nearby metallic boxes towards Mathis. Zenobia brushed them aside, the two of them knowing it was primarily a distraction. Monado lit up into a bright purple glow, Mathis swinging the axe in front of him. It struck the woman, who pushed it away easily. Mathis soon came up her, swinging the axe in front of him, the woman catching it easily with a hand. "I suppose that armor has done some good work," Mathis said with a smile. The woman smiled back, nodding as she tried to kick Mathis, who managed to barely avoid it. He rolled backwards, tossing Monado into the air for Zenobia to grab, the wild female Blade roaring out "Ascension Blade!" as she smashed into the woman, who still managed to shrug it off very well. She aimed her hand again, seemingly vanishing from sight before arriving all around the two of them, striking at him and Zenobia with rapid strikes. The two of them managed to remain standing, even as the woman huffed and puffed from the strong blow of strikes the two of them gave to her. The two of them stared down the woman, Mathis calling for Zenobia to deliver the finishing blow, but to keep her alive. Zenobia smiled and did so, striking the woman down, though she still stood, albiet weakly. The woman rushed off the battlefield, making a tactical retreat for the time being, Mathis getting ready to fight off more of the encroaching soldiers.

    War was one of those things Lily had little experience with. It wasn't like there weren't fights over territory in the wilds. On the contrary, territory was one of the most contested resources along with food and water. However the scale at which the civilized folk would fight each other was something else entirely: the closest thing Lily could imagine was the huge conflicts between ant colonies, where millions of individuals sacrificed their lives for the victory of their home. But even those conflicts, while large in number, were small in size compared to the much larger civilized folk as they went to war. Supposedly they could number in the thousands, which was still small compared to the amounts of ants but if you took into account the difference in size it was humongous.

    However it looked like she had to learn about it. She'd heard from the civilized folk who were part of Meliora Vitae that Pergrande and Bellum, two named territories of the civilized folk, were planning a big fight. While that was interesting in itself at first Lily hadn't really seen why it would concern her: she had no stakes in the fight and while she preferred peace over conflict she wasn't so naive as to not understand that territory was worth fighting over due to the limited resources available to everyone. The wilds had taught her that while one should avoid unnecessary cruelty there were plenty of situations where it wasn't possible for everyone to get along. In fact, most living things relied on killing and eating other living things just to survive!

    But it became clearer to her why her friends and companions would be concerned about this as it was explained that this conflict might affect the rest of the continent, and the wildlife as well. Furthermore apparently one of the countries, Pergrande, had a very strict anti-magic sentiment and would destroy anything connected to magic that they could get their hands on. That changed things: magic was a natural part of this world, and because of that it was also part of nearly every ecosystem. If this Pergrande began to destroy magic at every opportunity they'd be disrupting every ecosystem they came across, driving countless species which had learned to exploit natural mana sources to extinction and causing a massive crisis.

    Lily might be fine with letting the civilized folk fight over territory, the same as animals in the wild would do, but she wouldn't let Pergrande bring about such a disaster. Luckily Dagda had told her that two of the strongest members of Meliora Vitae, Lethe and Mathis, had already headed to the front to help push back Pergrande. The dryad decided that it would be best if she joined them, given that they were a lot stronger than her.

    Which was how she ended up going all the way from Fiore to the border between Bellum and Pergrande, leaving a trail of overgrowth in her wake. Basin carried her all, the way, the earth guardian having agreed that such a recklessly destructive gathering as Pergrande couldn't be allowed to act freely. Nepo and Saku were also with them, riding on Basin's shoulders while Lily sat on zirs head. As fast as Basin was, ze wasn't as fast as the advanced methods of transportation used by the civilized folk, delaying their arrival a bit.

    "They're over there." Lily whispered to her companions as she sensed their surroundings through Basin's feet. The animated boulder already knew and had already changed course, but the dryad wanted to make sure the spring dragon and the hippocamp were prepared. The upcoming fight would most likely be a bit more dangerous than just warding off a bunch of rabid animals or angry civilized folk. Even from a distance she could hear the sound of weapons clashing.

    Instead of immediately barging into the fight Basin would merge in with the surroundings, looking like nothing more than a boulder while Lily looked like a small tree growing on top of said boulder. Saku and Nepo hid behind Basin, leaving it up to Lily and Basin to behold the scene before them and figure out what to do. There were Lethe and Mathis, Lethe apparently taking aim at a bunch of civilized folk and Mathis in the middle of a clash with a female human who was moving very quickly. Mathis did have some backup, but it looked like it was still a pretty tough fight. Better to leave that female human to Mathis, although maybe she could heal him? Mathis had a strange body.

    The people that Lethe was aiming at, however...

    "Ready, everyone?" Quietly Lily slid off of Basin's back, whispering her plan to Saku and Nepo. The spring dragon wouldn't immediately have to act, but Nepo would get to help Basin engage the enemy. That should give Lily and Saku some more time to prepare for what came after. Saku spread his wings and focused on the ground, small roots expanding from his claws and burrowing into the dirt. Basin, already rolled up into a boulder, waited for Lily and Nepo together to give him the push he needed...

    "Raging Torrent"
    'Rolling Boulder'

    From standstill Basin shot forward as if launched from a cannon, rolling over the ground and even accelerating as ze headed straight for the enemies that Lethe had been aiming at. At the same time Lily and Nepo both launched a powerful stream of water at Basin, the pressurized wave pushing the rolling boulder even faster and farther.

    While Lethe and the soldiers of Pergrande were preparing to face off suddenly their standoff would be interrupted by Basin barrelling straight through the ranks of the Pergrande army, sending the lower rank infantry flying everywhere and leaving a trail of broken bodies of those soldiers who had been unfortunate enough to be straight in Basin's path. Basin's advance would be followed up by roots crawling through and over the ground, racing towards the Pergrande army and wrapping themselves around any soldier who didn't manage to get out of range in time.

    "Hey!" Lily yelled at Lethe and Mathis, waving at them after having used her magic to unleash the thorny roots upon the enemy army. "Dagda said I could find you here!"

    Basin, for zirs part, kept rolling until zirs momentum didn't allow ze to go any further. Planting zirs feet firmly on the ground ze uncurled zirself, the earth guardian rising up to zirs full impressive height in the middle of the Pergrande army. While some of the soldiers outside of zirs rolling range shot at zir, the bullets seemed to do little to the towering figure of rock.

    Leave the Future in the Past, We're Living in the Present now, Baby!



    A small smirk started to form on Lethe’s lips as well when Mathis mentioned about a fight being on their hands. Her phlox eyes glanced over to him and snickered. “If I can’t handle these buggers, feel free to kick me down yourself.” She raised an eyebrow at the man as he had made his sword into an axe. She nodded a bit to him, impressed by the action, before she made her skin a grayish color and seemed to have scales all over her. She was about to start rushing after the group when her nose caught the wiff of someone familiar, and heard the roaring of something rolling after her direction. She quickly launched herself out of the way, ending up in a tumbled roll and looked up to see one of her guild mates. Lily was it? She didn’t remember much about her. She should start taking notes on her guildmates. She actually heard her a distance away, thanking her dragon senses.

    “I could have handled them!” She had called out before she still did a salute to the dryad as a thanks to them. Maybe it was better that the other came instead? She probably would have been bored taking care of those toothpicks. She noticed six more of the recruits that were off to the side and trying to come at a different angle. Her eyes seemed to light up with excitement from them even attempting to come at her. Her main target was crushed, now it was her turn to remove the rest of them and take her anger out. She quickly spun on her heel and whipped her sword to her side. “Heeeey toys~!” She coos before they started to burst fire on her. She dipped her head and was racing through the storm of bullets. A grin was on her face as she reached her other hand forward and grabbed a hold of one of the soldiers, shoving her weight on him to knock him down. She had simultaneously jumped up to slam her feet against his chest. She tilted her head and smirked towards a soldier near her before she threw her sword up in the air.

    As the sword was in the air, it split into three different corkscrew swords and instantly turned and nosedived at three other soldiers. They tried to fire at the swords, but they were clearly missing as the swords stabbed into the enemies, managing to get right under the helmets each. Lethe used her strength and used both hands to quickly turn the head of the soldier she was still on, without looking at them. Two more left. She could hear the shaking breathing of one of them. “What? Are you scared? This is nothing!” She smirks ever so sweetly as she begins to stand up slowly. She was almost like a predator as she stalked towards one of the soldiers before her. “You guys are supposed to be soldiers, right? Shoot at me. I’m right here. You’re not scared are you?” Her taunts started to get to them and they raised their guns up, but Lethe and her swords were quicker as they both went after them. Lethe at one soldier, while her swords slammed into the other. Lethe had the gun of the soldier up in the air, making them fire above them and alerting more soldiers to come, and she smirked as her face got close to the soldiers. “Thanks, I have more playthings. You weren’t really fun to play with anyways, too quick to go down.” She teased before she let a hand go back before it slammed into his face.

    Those six were now gone, and her sword was back in her hand as a whole sword once again. She looked behind her and noticed a nice group of soldiers that wanted to go after her. She wouldn’t be having that happening today. She held up her arm as a multitude of partially stretched hexagonal blue screens formed around her forearm to cover her body while they fired their guns at her. As they broke their constant stream, she turned her head to look at them through the shield. Her eyes were practically glowing with excitement as her lips curled to a wicked grin. She turns on the balls of her toes and launches herself into the crowd of eleven of what seemed to be Imperial Army Officers. She flashed her fangs as called out her metal dragon claws on one of her hands using the enhanced strength from her scales to grab at one soldier. The soldier wasn’t expecting a claw to grab at them, and thus didn’t expect their armor to break and blood to start coming from the gashes she made with her claws. “Here pretty, pretty~” She cooed at him before she shoved him aside with her claws. Some of the soldiers backed away from her and tried to fire at her, but it wasn’t happening as more blue holo screens appeared around her.

    ‘You’re going animalistic, Lethe.’ ‘Sorry, can’t hear you. Fighting.’ ‘Liar…’ She snickers as she throws her sword up in the air again before it splits in three once again, flying down and stabbing three soldiers right in open parts of the armor, along with the split ends basically drilling themselves through the armor. They were fighting the swords to get it off of them, but Lethe wasn’t letting up as she let her other hand turn into claws and literally jumped at another soldier that wasn’t being attacked by a sword. She grabbed his shoulders and flipped herself behind him, using him as a human shield. She let up a ‘tsk’ as they ended up friendly firing on the poor sap. Not her problem though. They were the ones who were really attacking her. She was just retaliating. “Mother said never throw the first punch in a fight, but throw the last to end it.” She chuckles as she repeats Gaia’s words from her youth aloud, amused by the thought she didn’t start this fight herself.

    She noticed the three she had attacked were now down, and grinned as she viciously let her corkscrew swords rip themselves from the bodies before aiming them at three others. One of the men seemed to knock one sword away with their gun, and she glared at him. He was the one who had shot his buddy the most just a moment ago. She let herself jump at him, letting her sword go after another, as she grabbed his gun and bit into the metal of it. “Yummy.” She snickers while spitting out the non metal pieces. “I have a gun too, wanna see?” She snickers as she holds up a clawed hand and holds out the index finger and thumb before she says; “Blam.” while she lowers the thumb towards the index finger. As she did this, a silver bullet came through her index finger and right into the helmet of the soldier. It didn’t seem to do much as he moved his head out of the way just enough for it to really only graze the side of the helmet, but the fear that was on his face from her, made her smirk.

    “You can still play.” She spun around him and grabbed both of his wrists to hold them up. The other soldiers weren’t going to fall for that again. She tsked at the people before she made both of her hands into the gun motions again, and fired at two of his comrades while holding his wrists up. He wasn’t dead yet. He was still struggling to fight her strength while there. He tried to bend her arms to aim her ‘guns’ at herself, but she snorted and flipped him over herself and held a foot on his shoulder before she fired three times more at him. She looked up to see where her swords went, they were sticking out of the bodies of three more soldiers who couldn’t fight the corkscrew strength lacerating at them. That made the count to eleven of these buggers. How lovely.

    ‘There are more incoming. Keep your eyes out.’ ‘I know, Veles! I can sense them! There are more enemies coming this way. Majority like these fuckers I just fought. I’ll probably need your strength soon.’ The dragon nodded within her mind and Lethe let her purple eyes glance over the battlefield briefly. She had to admit that the mages of Bellum were holding their ground rather well against the soldiers of Pergrande. Her eyes quickly went to search for Mathis and Lily, since she joined the fight, and wanted to make sure that neither of them needed her assistance here on the field.

    She felt the presence of another soldier coming near her, and she quickly snapped her head towards them. They wore a strange helmet, and they had a big sword on their hip. “Compensating?” She couldn’t help but snort at them. As soon as she said that, the soldier shot themselves towards her and raised their sword up in the air. “Mmmm! Yes! Another spanking~!” She cackled a little before she held up her own sword and was now locked in a start of a battle with this guard seeming person.

    Mathis huffed a little from his battle from with their commander, seeing from the corner of his eye as a few people came in to assist in their fight. Lily, Mathis believed it was. He supposed the help was always to be acceptable. He took a moment longer to rest before preparing Monado, still as an axe, in his hand.

    "Are you still capable of fighting?" Mathis asked through a few labored breaths.

    Zenobia chuckled. "I'm always ready, Mathis! But I suppose I could let some others get their way through with things."

    Mathis nodded, Zenobia dissipating into a light blue glow, Pyra emerging forth next. "Looks like we got a lot of people to take on, Mathis!" Pyra shouted as Monado switched again to a sword.

    "Indeed. We have their leader to catch up to. Poppi, give us ranged assistance. We shall cut our way through them to take her out."

    "Got it, Master!" Poppi's voice announced through the mask.

    Mathis smirked underneath his mask. This was going to be a greater fight than anything he had faced in a long time. With an Aegis at his side, he knew that it was going to be something that was going to be a true dance through the battlefield. "Enemies remaining?"

    "Scanning... twenty six in this current forward group."

    "Got it. Pyra, you ready to cut through them?"

    Pyra nodded. "Of course! Let's take 'em out!"

    Mathis rushed ahead, flames emanating from Monado. A few soldiers noticed him, even in spite of the chaos especially exacerbated by Lily's entry into the battle. Mathis charged a bit further, stepping between incoming bullets. Conventional guns were little issue for Mathis, especially ones like these. They were perhaps a little faster than he was used to, and his lingering wounds from the duel with their leader further hurt him a bit, a few of the bullets grazing off of him. He feinted towards one of them, changing his direction at the exact moment a bullet from Poppi pierced his chest, Monado cutting through the gun another one, before he swiped across the soldier's chest, sending him collapsing to the ground. Mathis tossed Monado into the air, Pyra swapping into Mythra as soon as she grabbed the blade. She pointed it at a group of clustered soldiers, a flurry of bright yellow, nearly white, lasers peppering the ground around them. Mythra then tossed the sword like a javelin towards the group, Mathis grabbing it from the sky. "Eater!" Mathis called out, a purple light emanating from Monado as it was swung down. Purple chains wrapped around the feet of each of the soldiers, Mathis tossing the sword into the air once more, shifting into a cannon as Mythra retreated in exchange for Herald, who grabbed the cannon and fired a barrage of missiles, which exploded through the group. When the dust settled, another seven had fallen. Mathis nodded at Herald, who, too, retreated, Corvin appearing from the light of Herald's disappearance. Corvin tossed the cannon to Mathis, Monado shifting into a sword, which quickly turned into dual blades.

    "Lily and Lethe should easily be capable of clearing the scraps. Their leader still remains, however."

    Corvin nodded as Mathis took off, sprinting through the battlefield to catch up with their commander. Corvin was close behind, weaving through each of the soldiers in their frantic bull rush towards their leader. Mathis quickly found himself encountered by the leader, dodging out of the way of a sword slice before a series of parries let the two stare each other down.

    "You are a very worthy opponent, I must say. What is your name?"

    "Doesn't much matter, does it?"

    Mathis chuckled. "I suppose not. Fear not, I will not slay you. You are a skilled warrior. Psionic abilities, as well?"

    The woman shrugged before charging back ahead, swinging her sword in an overly exaggerated motion overhead. Mathis disarmed her easily, but he saw through the ruse with ease, quickly raising his left hand sword to block the incoming psionic imbued punch. Mathis found himself quickly on the defensive however, finally managing to kick her in the gut in order to get distance between the two of them. He tossed Monado over to Corvin, telling him to assist Lethe or Lily if they needed it or to assist other soldiers of Bellum. Poppi was given the same instruction as a whirlwind of snow whipped around him, his armor shifting to its stronger form.

    "Wish to fight you on your own terms. Hand to hand."

    The woman chuckled and smiled, clearly content with the handicap Mathis seemed to have imposed upon himself. She rushed ahead, a right hook leading the way. Mathis countering with a sweeping motion of his left, his right palm connecting with her left fist as she continued the fight. She swung another right at his head, Mathis ducking out of the way only to receive a kick to the gut. He quickly brushed it off, however, returning his fire with a palm strike to the bend of her left elbow as she went for a punch of her own. Mathis quickly ducked low, sweeping his leg out in an attempt to trip her, quick she dodged with a short hop and a quick, psionically powered punch, landing squarely on Mathis's jaw. The Flesh Eater Blade reeled back a bit, wiping away at the spot where he was hit. She truly was an incredibly capable fighter. Mathis now took the offensive, charging in and tackling her to the ground, rolling through as she quickly kipped up to her feet. He rushed ahead once again, a palm strike aiming for her left eye being easily blocked by both of her raised arms. Mathis took the opportunity to try to punch with his left into her side, but she quickly managed to recover from the first attack, battering down his arm and going for a spinning punch in one fluid motion. Mathis stepped backwards, barely missing the fist nearly connecting to his head. He closed the distance once more, taking advantage of her over exertion to grab her by the waist and delivering a quick suplex to her. He used his new top mounted position to deliver a few punches to her head, though she had her arms up to block many of the punches. Seeing a diminishing return, Mathis backed off, reading her body language to see how she would react next.

    When he noticed a smile cross her face, Mathis knew to quickly turn around, battering away rocks and boxes and barrels as they flew towards him, though he still was hit by a tent pole, piercing through his chest and pinning him against the nearby cliff face. The woman quickly rose to her feet, not being naive enough to immediately assume death. Mathis quickly broke the tent pole off to a reasonable size to remove from impaling his chest, a noticeable lack of blood from the massive hole in his chest.

    "Not human?"

    "Afraid not."

    The woman shrugged, getting back into a stance for a fight. Mathis, too, prepared his stance, reading any sort of weaknesses. She was an amazingly competent fighter. Perhaps he could convince her to join Meliora Vitae?

    He could not afford to daydream, as she took the initiative to attack first, a flurry of strikes met with a flurry of parrying arms. However, Mathis finally saw a weakness with her. As she went for an especially powerful punch with her right hand, Mathis dodged out of the way, grabbing her elbow with one hand as his other arm's elbow rapidly made a descent into her ear, knocking her still human brain rattling around her head and sending her to the ground in a heap.

    "I am sure Lethe will not be happy with this wound..." Mathis sighed, grabbing the woman into a fireman's carry. He rushed back to the still under siege camp, calling for Poppi's aid to keep their leader as a prisoner. Once Poppi had taken her into temporary wartime custody, Mathis looked out to the battlefield to read how the continuing fighting was going.

    "Sorry!" Lily called back as Lethe complained about Basin rolling through the group of infantry that she'd been squaring off against. The dryad doubted that the other mage truly was upset, but she was a friendly type and didn't mind throwing out apologies if it seemed like she might have offended someone. However even though she was still at a safe distance from the actual fight she couldn't afford to spend too much time thinking about it: they might have gotten rid of the frontlines but there was still a whole bunch of enemies left. And these all looked tougher than the ones Basin had rolled over as well, with heavier equipment and bigger weapons.

    Saku was on standby for now, waiting for an enemy to come close enough for him to activate his abilities. He didn't have much interest in the fight beyond keeping his friends safe, so as long as nobody attacked him, Lily or Nepo he wouldn't do anything either. Of course there was also Basin, but the guardian had rushed in by zirself and was out of Saku's range. Besides, Saku would be very surprised if there was anything the enemy could do to seriously injure Basin, given that even breaking the guardian in half wouldn't actually do much other than incapacitate zir. Spreading his wings Saku stretched, watching from his safe spot as the battle unfolded, idly running his tongue past his fangs as he waited for something to happen. Not that he was so bloodthirsty as to want enemies to get within his range, but sitting here doing nothing while everyone else fought would also eventually get boring.

    Nepo was sitting on Lily's shoulder, more alert than Saku and ready to help out should Lily ask that of him. He didn't have much more interest in the war than Saku did but was more passionate about helping out however he could when his friends needed it. As such he nudged Lily's cheek with the side of his head, letting out his usual strange sounds to ask her if she needed anything from him. Lily for her part patted him and smiled, whispering that it'd be fine as long as he was ready to protect her if anything attacked them. Nepo nodded eagerly, looking around to keep an eye on anything that could possibly pose a threat to the leaf-haired girl. Well, and Saku of course. Nepo wasn't going to let anyone hurt Saku either if there was anything he could do about it. And fortunately despite being small Nepo was capable of doing quite a lot when there was a need for it.

    Basin, meanwhile... Was in the middle of the fight. All the weakest soldiers had been mowed down by his rolling boulder attack, but the other soldiers weren't about to retreat or falter. The guardian felt countless small pieces of metal smash into zirs stony figure, shrapnel flying in every direction but none of the bullets managing to get any deeper than a couple of centimeters. Basin didn't have a skin of stone or anything like that: zirs entire body was made of stone, so the bullets didn't even have a chance of dealing much damage even if they did manage to penetrate any further. Some of the soldiers appeared to finally realize that, holding their fire and reloading their guns. The guardian could practically see their minds churning, trying to think of a way to injure this massive figure of rock and earth.

    Raising one hand Basin curled it into a fist and smashed it down towards one of the soldiers, who managed to leap out of the way before impact. Smashing against the ground Basin's immediate surroundings shook, the other soldiers all moving backwards as they realized that being hit by Basin's fists would most likely put them out of commission in one blow, if it didn't kill them outright. The guardian, however, didn't have any reason to just let them retreat and walked after them, heavy footsteps punctuating zirs advance while zirs fists were ready to strike anything that came close enough. Some of the soldiers which were surrounding Basin raised their guns and resumed firing, but all they achieved was to further chip away at the massive stone figure that didn't slow down or relent in the slightest.

    However, it looked like the enemy wasn't going to keep up this futile tactic forever. A shout from the back of the enemy squad resulted in the gun-wielding soldiers breaking away from Basin, four of them splitting up to head for Lily and the two elemental creatures instead. Now Basin was left facing a single opponent, a man wearing more traditional knight-like armour and wielding a large sword that could probably be used as a club if slicing and cutting didn't work. The guarding came to a halt, watching the guard with zirs one glowing blue eye. The guard in turn levelled his sword at Basin, holding it with two hands and regarding him steadily. "You must be one of those golems I've heard about. Let's see if you can still move after I've cut you in two."

    If Basin could talk ze would have told the guard that ze wasn't a golem, but an earth guardian. Of course to a human there might not be much difference, but Basin would have found the distinction important. Golems were just magical machines with complicated codes making them move in certain ways. Basin was a fully conscious entity with self-awareness and intellect, even if it didn't look like it from the outside. Instead of saying anything like that Basin just stepped forward and brought zirs fist down upon the guard. However instead of meeting the guard's body or even his sword Basin's fist only struck empty air and the ground, the guard now suddenly standing behind Basin and slashing at zir with his large sword. While the blade managed to dig in deeper than the bullets shot by the other soldiers the strike still didn't get very far, metal rebounding off of stone and the guard grunting in frustration. "You're tougher than normal stone as well."

    Meanwhile Lily, Saku and Nepo were preparing for the four soldiers that were approaching the three of them. Given that it was three against four they were at a numeric disadvantage, and with Basin busy fighting the elite soldier they couldn't rely on the guardian to act as their frontline while they bombarded their enemies from a distance. Glancing at Saku and Nepo Lily quickly nodded, the two elemental creatures separating from the dryad and setting themselves up to each fight their own battles. Before the fight started Lily quickly threw a surge of life magic at Basin: it didn't exactly heal the guardian as it would a creature of flesh and blood, nevertheless the cracks that had been put in zirs body by the bullets and the sword were quickly smoothed over until ze looked good as new.

    Nepo, eager as always, ran forward to intercept two of the Imperial Army Officers. The two soldiers raised their reloaded guns as one, aiming at the small hippocamp and firing a barrage of bullets. Nepo in response let out a sound similar to a baby whale, the water that covered his body compressing into two streams that shot forward to meet the bullets. Water and metal clashed, the force of Nepo's water guns enough to divert the bullets and make them fall uselessly to the ground. The waterdweller didn't stop running, dashing forward at surprising speed until he was right in front of the two soldiers. Once separated from them by a mere meter the layer of water covering his skin began to shoot outwards in every direction, droplets spraying through the air but coming to a halt before they fell back to the ground. The two soldiers were suddenly surrounded by droplets on every side, making them hesitate and stick close together as they reloaded their guns once more. When it looked like the floating water wasn't going to do anything they slowly advanced, one of them experimentally slashing at a nearby droplet with his army knife.

    Whatever the two had been expecting, they hadn't anticipated the droplet exploding, nearly knocking them off their feet and causing several nearby droplets to explode as well. Covering their heads with their arms the soldiers waited for the chain reaction to subside, relying on their armour to protect them. Once the explosions had come to an end they swiftly turned towards Nepo... only for the hippocamp to be nowhere to be seen.

    A small sound made them look up, where Nepo was seemingly standing on a thin sheet of water floating mid-air. Before they could raise their guns Nepo made another sound... and this time the entire field of floating droplets exploded at once, ravaging the two soldiers with a bombardment akin to a minefield. Their armour, tough and durable, couldn't withstand the barrage, the shockwaves travelling through their bodies and causing their organs to tear up. With blood flowing from their mouths the two officers collapsed, breathing painfully and trying not to scream even as their bodies refused to move properly.

    One officer ended up facing Saku, the more withdrawn spring dragon. Saku's abilities were more supportive in nature than Nepo's combat-oriented water magic, but he still wouldn't let some non-magical human with some funny weapons upstage him. The officer in question was rather wary of the little dragon, but after Saku openly yawned he quickly responded by raising his gun and opening fire. Saku replied with a burst of magic that made the officer stagger, the bullets missing Saku even before the dragon spread his wings and flew up into the air. Circling above the officer Saku swerved to avoid a line of bullets as the officer kept trying to hit him only for the nimble dragon to evade. While flying about small orbs of spring magic would rain down from Saku's leaf-wings like magical pollen, landing on the officer and the ground around him. While at first this did nothing soon the officer would slow down and become winded... even as from his body flowers began to grow. Letting out a hoarse scream the officer dropped to his knees as quickly his entire body was hidden behind a layer of colourful flowers. Saku landed on top of the mound, feeling the officer's weak struggling until finally enough life and strength had been drained from him that he fell unconscious.

    If he was Lily he'd probably have relented at that point, but Saku figured that this officer would do a better job as nourishment for the plants than wielding that stupid metal stick of his.

    That left Lily with the last officer. The dryad, not quite as eager to face off against a soldier by herself, spoke up first. "Uhm... It'll probably be better if you just surrender!" She hoped that the man would take the hint and either give up or go away. Unfortunately for her, Pergrande didn't train their soldiers to desert. Especially since Lily didn't exactly come across as intimidating: a rather short woman with brown skin, green hair, a dress made of leafs and strange eyes with amber sclera. While exotic nothing about her screamed combatant.

    [color:40d8=#[color=#999999]"After what you freaks have done to my comrades you should be the one surrendering instead. Step down if you aren't willing to fight!" He didn't wait to listen to her response before he also opened fire, slowly advancing even as he kept unleashing hell on the dryad.

    Lily let out a small shriek of surprise as the gun began to fire. She quickly threw up a wall of earth as a defence, but given its impromptu creation it wasn't sturdy enough and the bullets quickly began to smash their way through. One bullet grazed Lily, making the girl yell out once more as orange-yellow sap seeped out of the wound rather than blood. Throwing herself to the ground she managed to dodge the remainder of the volley, as even with the barrier partially destroyed the officer still couldn't accurately aim through it at his opponent. Cursing and swearing the officer began to reload the moment he ran out of bullets, but now that he'd actually started the fight Lily wasn't going to just lay there and let it happen.

    Placing her hands against the ground roots surged forward, the earthen barrier parting to let them through. The officer, not expecting the sudden attacking, tried to dash to the side. One of the roots reached out and wrapped around his ankle, pulling him back against the ground and driving the air out of his lungs. Before he could claw his way free the roots wrapped themselves around his entire body, anchoring him to the ground and keeping his limbs in place. Struggling and squirming the man couldn't do much as Lily walked up to him, the wound on her arm already healing as her expression was a mixture of fright, hesitation and anger. "I'm really sorry." Kneeling next to her incapacitated foe she placed both hands on his stomach and concentrated. The man tried to curse at her but a root wrapped around his lower face, effectively gagging him as Lily went to work. Thorns sprouted out of her hands, digging into the man's flesh even as she began to drain his life force. A small trickle at first, then quickly more and more until the man was motionless, his eyes rolled up into the back of his head. When she retracted her thorns and pulled her hands back Lily could tell that he as still alive, but barely. She might actually have to heal him a little bit if she wanted to ensure his survival.

    Basin, in the meantime, was busy fighting an opponent ze couldn't catch. Every time ze tried to strike at the Imperial Guard the man dodged. He was clearly not a fool, keeping a good distance from the guardian so Basin couldn't take him by surprise. Stepping forward once more Basin brought both fists down, trying to catch the guard between them so he couldn't dodge. Instead the man first jump back, then before Basin could pull back zirs hands he jumped onto the guardian's massive arms and ran up them to reach zirs head. An overhead swing with both hands smashed into the boulderlike creature's head, carving deep into the stone and sending more sharpnel flying everywhere. Basin's movements halted for a moment, zirs glowing blue eye flickering before ze recovered and reached up to swat the man away, only for the guard to slide down Basin's back and end up behind zir. "I'll admit you're tough and strong, but you're too slow. That and it looks like you might not be as invincible as you act." The guard had apparently noticed that smashing Basin's head like that had an effect, even if it was very little.

    "Well then, let's see if I can't-!" This time the guard was forced to use that blink ability he had used before. Basin's fist came flying towards him at incredible speed, the wind whistling where it was pushed aside by the powerful blow. Once more Basin hit empty air, the guard appearing at zirs side with sword already drawn back. "Looks like I hit a nerve." Given that stabbing a walking statue would be foolish he instead swung his blade at Basin's knee, a loud crack resounding as he actually managed to form a sizeable cleft in the vulnerable joint. Basin took a step backwards in response, once more striking with surprising speed. However ze had overplayed zirs had, and this time the guard managed to dodge without using that blink ability. Rolling underneath Basin's huge fist he ended up practically underneath the guardian, where he quickly stood up and transferred the momentum of his roll into another slash which was aimed at the same knee. A second crack, and Basin slowly fell over as one of zirs legs had been cut off at the knee.

    "Now for the head..." The guard quickly jumped backwards to avoid being crushed, but was already bringing his sword back up for a large, powerful swing that would separate Basin's head from zirs shoulders. So far as the guardian had shoulders. The guardin in response raised both arms as as shield, the guard snorting. "Fine. I'll go through those as well." Another blink, and suddenly he was above and in front of Basin. He brought his sword down with tremendous force. The blade bit into Basin's arm. Stone was parted as one arm was chopped clean off. The second arm was also cut but withstood the strike. The guard let out an annoyed tsk as he felt that his attack had been halted. Trying to pull his weapon back he realized that it was stuck inside Basin's arm. Letting go of the weapon he jumped back. "Now what-!?"

    The ground, solid before, was now suddenly sinking. Water was bursting forth from underground. A mass of plants was sprouting. The guard tried to jump only to find that the plants were wrapped around his legs. Even worse, his feet were also quickly sinking into the mud. Within seconds he was up to his thighs in water. "What is this!" He didn't have much time to think.

    Basin raised zirs remaining fist. With the guard stuck in place ze could finally get a hit in. The guard's eyes opened wide as he began to pull harder on his legs. He managed to get one leg free, foot slipping out of the boot that was stuck underwater. However he couldn't place that foot back down without it getting trapped again. Letting out a scream of desperation he held both arms in front of him. Same as Basin had before. However this time the results were different.

    Basin's single, glowing blue eye glared as zirs fist came down like a meteor. It smashed into the guard's feeble attempt at defending himself. The boulder that was his fist broke straight through. The guard's screams turned painful as he could feel his arms get pulverized. It didn't take much longer before the rest of his body received the same treatment. The water of the swamp that had formed around Basin rippled as his single blow buried the guard in the submerged mud, the ground shaking once more. Basin could feel the guard's body twitch once or twice before it stopped moving entirely.

    After several seconds Basin pulled the man's broken and crushed body out of the swamp and tossed it aside. Like a ragdoll it flew through the air, rolling for over a meter when it hit dry ground before coming to a halt. The guardian zirself slowly stood up, looking around and then down at zirself. Ze had sustained a lot more damage than ze had expected, but even as the swamp slowly dried up again ze could feel Lily's healing magic flowing through zir. Picking up the arm the Imperial Guard had managed to chop off ze placed it back where it belonged, Lily's magic causing the two pieces of stone to meld back together.

    There weren't a lot of enemies left, so Basin would take zirs time reattaching zirs leg as well.

    Leave the Future in the Past, We're Living in the Present now, Baby!



    Lethe was starting to feel the excitement course through her once again as she was in battle with this soldier. “That's the best you got for me? Shame.” She quickly took a step back and twisted her hand enough to make the corkscrew blade wrap around the other blade. She wasn’t going to let them go though. As her sword was wrapped around the others sword, in which she quickly threw her sword up and kicked the soldier square in the chest with her heel. The kick didn’t to too much, which earned a tsk from the slayer as she brought her sword back down and slashed it across the chest of the soldier and started to reach her hand out at their face. “You’re not running away. And you’re going to beg me for mercy… maybe.” She snickered as the soldier tried to blink out of the way, but Lethe had enough of a grip on the helmet with her clawed hand, that had started to disappear. She let up a snarl. That wasn’t something she wanted to see. She then remembered something. “Oblivium!” She then backed off for a moment and shook her claws back.

    The soldier was grinning with joy from Lethe’s reaction, blinking out of sight and behind her again. Lethe’s holo shields popped up again, and was broken through before she threw her sword up again. “I think you’re at my mercy instead…” The voice purred at her. A beeping noise came from Lethe’s pocket, and the woman grinned devilishly while the soldier was confused.

    “DOWNLOAD COMPLETE. FILE MAELSTROM 48000 BLUEPRINTS TRANSMITTED AND READY FOR QUICK PRINT. PRINT NOW?” An electronic, monotonous voice called from her pocket.

    “Yes.”

    “PRINTING STARTED. ZERO PERCENT COMPLETE. TWENTY PERCENT COMPLETE. FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT COMPLETE.”

    As the voice listed how long the print was happening for, the soldier decided to take advantage and strike at the black haired slayer. Lethe was using her sword to block again as she was just simply giddy. Whatever the maelstrom was, she couldn’t wait to get her hands on it.

    “SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT COMPLETE. NINETY-ONE PERCENT COMPLETE. ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT COMPLETE. MAELSTROM 48000 FINISHED PRINTING.”

    As soon as the voice said that, Lethe released her claws spell and held up her other hand as a rifle formed in her other hand. “Eat plasma, bitch.” She had aimed the rifle, point blank, at the guards chest before she pulled the trigger. The plasma started eating away at the soldier. They were now no longer a threat to her. A snicker was on the slayers face as she quickly held her arm up and smacked their face with the butt of her gun. “I can’t say I don’t love having archive in my arsenal~” She held her gun up, looking through the scope towards where other enemies were. She spotted other soldiers through her scope. She let up a tsk, and fired through it. But the soldiers apparently heard her and blinked out of the way before the plasma from the rifle could hit them, smacking the ground and burning it up where they had been fighting some Bellum mages.

    “You seem like you need some help.” A robotic and organic mix sounding voice came from behind her. She turned around and aimed her gun towards the cyborg man. He raised his hands, blade part of the sword in his hand pointed down at the ground. “I am not here to harm you. I sensed your whatever it is you got. And I need it to help me."

    "How do I know I can trust you?" She glanced around before she switched hands, holding her sword towards the man and shot her gun towards an officer that was coming towards her. They had dodged her shot and were still coming at her. Before she could move, the cyborg was zipping past her and going after the officers. He was nearly a blur as he skillfully used his weapon to block some bullets that were coming towards him and Lethe. A snarl escaped her lips as she didn’t like seeming like she was a princess in distress. He wasn’t her savior.

    She quickly ran towards him, not slowing down one bit. He almost started to turn, but the dragon slayer had done an aerial cartwheel and found one of her legs hooking onto his shoulder. Instead of launching her back, the cyborg leaned forward to help her adjust herself properly. She already had her rifle lifted and propped up on her other arm while she continued to hold out her sword, blasting the plasma at three officers on her own while the cyborg had cut three of the officers on his own as well.

    The soldiers were backing off some as Lethe’s gun was a bit more than they expected. A snicker came from the black haired woman's mouth before she leaned her sword hand down to hook around the cyborg’s arm and she leaned herself backwards to get off of his back, showing off her flexibility in the process. She was about to start going after another guard who thought he was seeming slick when she felt the cyborgs back against hers. At the same time as this was happening, the area around the earth guardian Lily had brought, that rolled over her first targets here, apparently made the area swampy, and the cyborg reached his hands back and leaned forward to lift Lethe’s feet off of the ground while the swamp was around their feet. She started to growl when he spoke.

    “Greyhound.”

    “What?”

    “My name, you could say, is Greyhound. You wouldn’t have jumped on my shoulders if you didn’t think I wasn’t on your side and couldn’t trust me.”

    She gritted her teeth and jabbed her elbow back into a metallic side, making him drop her and having a splash come from her feet making contact with the ground. “I can eat you. I am a metal dragon slayer. And I don’t need your help.”

    “Sure, I’ll formally ask for your assistance to help me instead then. I have failing systems that need upgrades.”

    “Fine, but stay out of my way for the time being!”

    Lethe launched herself at guard as he was coming after her now, thinking she and her own gun weren’t a threat one bit. She quickly threw her gun on her back before she gripped her corkscrew sword with two hands on the hilt as she ran.

    Before she got to the guard, a high pitched squeal came from above her, and Lethe panicked for a moment before she looked up. She had no clue what the hell that squeal was from, till she noticed a little grey fur ball up in the sky wrapped up in little holiday lights and some holly? She realized what the wings were and what this was. An exceed. Why was one out here though?

    “I finally found a slayer! I heard all slayers have to have an exceed~! I found my slayer~! Mama will be soooo happy for Olly!” The exceed was doing loops in the sky excitedly before he quickly saw the guard lifting their sword again. The little exceed let up a gasp and quickly waved his paws around towards Lethe. “I’ll help you~!”

    “I don’t-”

    “Jingle Bells, Olly's Spell, Drives bad guys awaaaay~” The little exceed cries out excitedly before a wall of holiday lights, presents, tinsel, and baubles tangled together. “Don’t hurt my slayer!” The little childlike exceed cries before the presents fling themselves off the wall and at the guard. A snort comes up on her lips as she jumps up partially on the wall, after stabbing her sword into the ground, and holds the rifle up to aim it towards the guard being attacked by gifts launching at it. She takes a couple deep breaths while she looks down the scope before she fires the weapon. The plasma did not miss it’s target, and she jumped down from the wall before she picked up her sword again. “I help you!”

    “Kid, get back to the tents! You’re too young to be here and an easy target in the sky!” She calls out just as someone tried to shoot at the creature who called himself Olly a moment ago. The exceed quickly let himself drop and was hanging on Lethe’s shoulders on her back. She made a little bit of a face before she shook her head. “Kid, get off. Go towards that guy there, he’ll keep you safe.” She pointed her sword towards Greyhound. “Protect this exceed since you want to help me so damn badly! Unless you can help me some other way?" She snorts.

    Greyhound blinked for a moment before he nodded and reached onto his side for a pouch of sorts? Lethe wasn’t sure what was on his hip. He pulled out a little robot from the pouch. “I found this and managed to fix it up.” He pressed a button and the robot came to life. “It's like a little scout.”

    “Hi! I’m Scout!” The circle that was to mimic an eye for the robot turned into an upward carrot before it began to fly ahead.

    “I DID”T MEAN THIS FUCKING HELP!” Lethe practically screamed before the little robot came back and was up in her face, enough to make her lean backwards as it didn’t seem to have any sense of personal space with her.

    “You may not want my help, but I’m going to help you regardless! Your companion over at the camp got stabbed by a big pole! And there is another Pergrande guard with a couple officers towards the east. Have fun~”

    Lethe’s phlox purple eyes nearly flashed red before she swatted at the robot back towards Greyhound. “Don’t follow me!” She screamed towards the trio that decided she was apparently a great person to follow, and she ran off towards the direction that the Pergrande soldiers were. She had her corkscrew sword in her hand still, gun on her back, but anger coursing through her veins. She was pissed. She didn’t need these freeloaders on her. She wasn’t one to work with whatever they were! She wasn’t a genius robotics person! And an exceed?!

    She had reached the guard and officers and crouched low for a moment. She didn’t want to use her sword. She wanted to feel them squeal under her hand. Releasing her sword, she brought forth her claws again, but they were steeled over as her skin had the steel scales strengthen her touch. “Lets fucking party…” She growls as she launches herself forward. She didn’t realize that her wolfish ears and tail had slipped out now, and she was feeding off of her more primal instincts than her anger.

    ‘You’re getting reckless.’ Veles warns.

    ‘I’m pissed.’

    ‘They can be your allies though.’

    ‘I don’t need them!’

    ‘Mathis might like your teamwork.’ That got the slayer to falter for a moment, but she quickly shook her head and smashed her body right into the guard, pushing the sword they carried to the side to slam it into one of the officers. She had taken the guard to the ground with her crash and found her hands gripping at his helmet before she twisted it. She ripped it off and threw it towards the other guard. That threw the guard off before she launched herself towards the soldier and managed to scramble up to his shoulders, wrapping her legs there as she grabbed the hand holding the gun and held it up high above his head. She wrestled with the hand to make them aim the gun down at their own helmet, before forcing them to pull their own trigger. As soon as it was pulled, she made them fall backwards just so she could get off of them without hurting herself.

    “That little robot said Mathis was injured…?” She quickly looked in the direction of Mathis, and let her feet quickly take her towards him. There seemed to be next to no one here now anyways since Bellum’s mages were sweeping out the Pergrande soldiers here.

    She was practically sprinting towards Mathis as the little flying fur ball came up next to her. “What’s your name?!” He excitedly asked, he wasn’t going away as she swatted at him to get away from her. “C’mon! Tell me! I’ll give you a present if you do!”

    “Don’t need a present!”

    “I would like to know what to address you too, mage.” Lethe stumbled as the cyborg was next to her as well. She stood there with her ears out, snarling a bit towards the two. They weren’t showing her aggressive movements, honestly waiting on her. What was up with these creeps?!

    “Lethe! You happy?! Now get out of my way!” She growls before she starts rushing forward, pushing them out of her way. She didn’t get far as she saw Mathis there, standing with a hole in his chest. “Mathis!” She cries as she goes up to him. “What the hell happened?!” She had grabbed his shoulders as she approached him, but was leaning back to examine the hole in his chest. She brought one hand to touch the edge of it, unsure if it would harm him or not if she touched the hole, especially since there was no blood to it. “What the hell did you do…?” She looked up to him. She still had a bit of anger coursing through her, and unaware that her ears and tail were out, but her ears were pressed back in worry over him regardless of her anger of the trio approaching the two. Lethe’s eyes glanced over to them before her eyes noticed the unconscious Paladin.

    She let go of Mathis, put her hands on her hips, and tilted her head towards the body. “We have a hostage…” She sighs as she wasn’t as merciful during this. She let herself get carried away and wasn’t risking being gunned down.

    Mathis gave a sigh of relief seeing the battle all but finished. Pergrandian forces had begun fleeing, though not without a significant amount of their ambush force having been decimated. Mathis soon called upon the help of Ursula, who went out to begin healing the others. She offered to heal Mathis, who refused. He was in no danger, despite the hole in his chest. He wanted Ursula to heal everyone, friend or foe. As the commander of their forces stumbled out of his tent, visibly exhausted despite the entire ordeal taking little more than an hour, Mathis approached him.

    "Rest and recuperate yourself, Commander," he said, placing a hand on the man's shoulder. "I shall take care of ensuring the close of combat situations. I would request that all hostages be treated with care and respect, and to pass that message along to your higher ups. All soldiers are to be respected as hostages, not prisoners." The commander nodded and saluted, stumbling back into his tent. Mathis looked around, immediately going over to Poppi. "Battlefield reports?"

    "Two hundred and seventeen Pergrandian soldiers were present in this ambush. Poppi can't be certain of exact numbers, but Poppi suspects that between one hundred and fifty and one hundred and seventy five were incapacitated or eliminated."

    "As for the soldiers of Bellum?"

    "The addition of Lily made the fight much easier and much less costly for Bellum's soldiers. Poppi suspects that only between ninety five and one hundred and seven soldiers of Bellum were incapacitated or eliminated."

    "Survival percentage?"

    "Sixty four point seven percent for Pergrande, margin of error three percent. Fifty seven point two percent for Bellum, margin of error one point six percent."

    Mathis grimaced a bit. "This is factoring in Ursula, correct?"

    Poppi nodded. "Without Ursula, Poppi expects a seven point two percent reduction in survival odds on both sides."

    "Understood," Mathis said with a casual nod. Before he could begin taking more logistics of the battlefield, he found himself practically assaulted with worry by Lethe. Just as with some of the previous meetings, Lethe appeared to have grown a tail and ears. Something strange with her physiology, perhaps? Fiore was a strange place. "Worry not, Lethe. I am in no danger. Their commander put up a valiant fight. She was certainly a tough opponent. I find that wasting life with the possibility of saving is a less than admirable task, perhaps to my own detriment. One as talented in physical prowess such as her was an especially high priority to spare in an attempt to capture. I doubt she would be willing to turn coat and join Bellum. I suspect that, from what little knowledge I have on the countries here within Earthland, the ideological differences between the two countries would make such a thing impossible. Ah, but I suppose that is only speculation." He removed the mask, giving a warm smile to Lethe. "I am in no danger, trust me. I do not have traditional human biology. While I am more prone to damage than I was in the past..." he brushed his hair aside, showing the red, glowing gem on his head. "...as long as nothing shatters this, I shall be fine. I cannot regenerate as quickly as I used to be able to, but this should be fully repaired within a week. Consider my core akin to a human's heart. While as far as I am aware, a human is also fully incapable of living without a brain, I do not believe my body has anything akin to a 'brain.' I suppose that is a discussion for another time, however. There are more pressing matters at hand."

    Try as he might to assure Lethe that he truly was fine, she insisted enough for  him to eventually capitulate and let her try, Lily arriving some time later and proving that she was more fit for the task. The unique makeup of Mathis's body made it so Lily's brand of healing proved more effective, but soon enough, Mathis was at least mostly patched up. He knew that his natural healing factor would take care of the last little bits, but he thanked them for their help anyways. With that, he set out, taking a role as a commander and asking for them to assist with healing up others and ensuring that all living soldiers, friend or foe, were properly tended to. Ursula soon returned, Mathis thanking her for her service, and she disappeared. Mathis climbed to a peak, right above where he was impaled, Malos now arriving.

    "Never got sick of battle, huh?" the Aegis asked.

    "It is what my purpose is."

    "Yeah but you haven't had anyone to really care about since... what was her name?"

    "Lorelai."

    "Yeah, her. Since the Church killed her. Sorry if that's a sensitive subject, Mathis."

    Mathis raised a hand and shook his head. "It is fine. If I had not come to terms with her passing in all this time, I would not be fit for being a warrior."

    Malos chuckled a bit as Mathis sat at the edge of the cliff. "What is it that those people in Gestahl called 'em? Samurai? Yeah, you're too much like them. All this 'honor' and 'fitness to be a warrior.' Load of garbage if you ask me." Malos sat beside Mathis. "Sure, honor might be good and all that, but honor doesn't sharpen a sword. Sometimes you just gotta fight and make sure that you don't die."

    "I have not died yet."

    Malos guffawed. "Damn right you haven't. But you've gotten close. A wound like that would've killed just about anyone. For once, your Core being on your head actually helped you out. If you were like the rest of us, that shatters your crystal, and you're dead." He sighed, shaking his head. "Maybe that Lethe chick is making you soft."

    "I have not gone soft, Malos. I am still a perfectly capable warrior."

    "Sure, sure. You're good in combat but when you got a girl draped all over you like that, you're gonna have your mind wander. Like I was trying to say earlier, you've got someone you're caring about. A mortal you're caring about. That wasn't much of a problem with Lorelai. She dies, you die. Simple as that. But now you're immortal. Or practically so. I'm not really all that sure of that stuff. Leave it to Poppi or KOS-MOS to know what things actually mean. I just fight. Anyways, I don't want you to hold back because you're going soft and caring for a mortal. I want to say a human, but she definitely isn't a human. Not even sure what she is. Either way, it doesn't matter. What matters is that she's going to eventually die and you aren't. Even if she's already kinda cheated the natural order of the world."

    Mathis gave a quizzical look towards Malos. "What do you mean by that?"

    "She's not exactly from this point in time. Sorry, kinda cheated and had Poppi look into some things. She doesn't have exactly the same ether signatures as this world, whatever that means. Poppi just told me that, no context. She says it means that either she's an extraterrestrial being or she's from an alternate dimension or from a different point in history. Something about the world's age? I got no idea. Poppi just told me a bunch of stuff that meant she was not like anything else here. That Dadga guy's the same way."

    "Could it not just be due to... whatever sort of being she is? I must say, I have not seen many people of Fiore with tails and ears like that. Not too dissimilar to a Gormotti, I suppose, but..."

    Malos shrugged. "Dunno. Like I keep saying, Poppi didn't explain anything that meant anything. I'm just speculating off of information I don't know." He sighed a bit, looking around. "You gonna stay with her?"

    "Getting to the point right away, huh?"

    "Don't see any reason not to."

    "You certainly are a persistent one, are you not?"

    "I like making people squirm." Mathis gave a confused, slightly concerned look towards Malos. "Not that way. Geez, you really have been corrupted by that damn Lethe chick, huh? Or maybe that's just Azami or Kora finally getting to you?"

    Mathis chuckled a bit. "No, it is mostly Lethe. She is almost as persistent as you."

    "Maybe. But remember I have an infinite amount of time to bug you."

    Mathis smiled, but before he could answer Malos's question, he heard the voice of Poppi calling for his aid in rounding up prisoners and making new orders while the proper commander of the forces was out resting. Malos definitely looked irritated at Mathis managing to avoid the question, but he already suspected he knew more than Mathis was comfortable with letting on.
