(Note: If you roll for the Mind Wizard and he appears, the Insane Fire-Make Wizard's spell will be broken, and he will flee the scene in horror of what he's done alongside any Henchmen, or Cocky Fire Wizards, who will also be freed from the spell, as the Mind Wizard is interested in fighting you with no help, on his own.)

Job Location: Oak Town

Job Description: A wizard is loosing his mind slowly, but surely in Oak Town. You've arrived on the scene shortly after a mission was hurriedly posted on the board. For the past few days, a Fire Wizard has been heading too the market with his band of wizards and attacking innocent civilians, claiming that they're Demons. It would appear that he's under some form of enchantment or spell that's controlling his mind. He still has his intelligence and still, he and his minions are a huge threat too those around them.

(Note: At the end of each round, he will roll a random Fire spell against a nearby group of civilians, a single civilian, or a shop / establishment. If you roll a miss, it misses. If you roll an attack, it lands and you loose 1 out of the 15 individuals you're supposed too protect.)

(Note: The name of the Wizard, and or his group of cronies is up too you.)

Enemies:
Weak: Henchmen Fire Wizard x3 (These guys use D-Ranked Fire Spells, mostly Fire Balls and Fire Streams that don't do too much damage. They can catch things on fire however. They go down in usually one hit, two at the most of any rank.)

Normal: Cocky Fire Wizard x3 (These guys use C-Ranked Magic, and are very skilled. They sling AOE fire spells at you, along with normal fireballs and fire streams. They take four C-Ranked hits each too defeat.)

Strong: The Insane Fire-Make Wizard (The source of the problem. A young wizard with a long blue coat with red runic markings on it. He has face length blue hair that sweeps around his face, with a deranged look and a constant toothy smile that just screams "I'm insane.", he uses a plethora of C-Ranked spells at rapid speed, and has a B-Ranked AOE fire spell that will deal incredible damage if you're hit by it. At the end of every turn, he rolls a "Damage Die" too see if he harms / kills one civilian or a nearby building / establishment. Takes 15 C-Ranked hits too defeat.)

Boss: Mind Wizard (The REAL source of the trouble in Oak Town, this guy brought the Insane Fire-Make Wizard under his control with his magic, so beware. He's a force too be reckoned with. If he appears, he will attempt too bring the civilians under his mind control, and force them too attack you. He uses Darkness-based magic along with his psychic abilities. Each round, he rolls a "Damage Die" if he misses, then he doesn't bring anyone under his control, if the Attack goes through then a group of civilians will attempt too impede your fight against him. Takes 20 C-Ranked hits too destroy. Will shield himself with Darkness-based magic, and strike with blasts of Shadows, and cause whipping shadows too jump from floors/walls/alleyways. Is very quick, and can have clouds of darkness lift him off the ground too get aerial and fight from rooftops. Good luck. His spells are C-Ranked, and B-Ranked.)

Reward: 5000 Jewels

A girl was running from the station as she was in a hurry. It seemed she needed to be somewhere important. A lot of people looked at the girl as she was running to the street nearly running over some guys. She was a young girl around twenty year old and was weaing a white skirt. A red top on that and a jacket that was short at the right side but long at the left side. She had a metal piece over the long side and a shoulder plate on her right shoulder. Her brown hair tied up in two pony tails was going up and down from the wind and running. Sweat was rolling down over the tattooed whiskers on her cheeks. A metal sound was resounding trough the city as a sniper rifle was bound to her back. it was rather large as it came from her knee to her ear. It was nicely decorated with a urban camo. A lot of people didn’t know where to look first. Should they be surprised by her neko tails or the strange weapon on her back.

That was how Chelly arrived in Hargeon town on an important mission. There was a group of fire wizards going around and harming people. Males of course they always think they could do anything. She taught as she went with her hand through her hair. She was a bit lost as she didn’t know anything of this world so she went to a shop and asked directions. After that she headed out for the location it should be not far anymore. The persons always appeared on a market. They had to make sure they didn’t harm any person. Thy was pointing at her and a future partner since it was such an important job another person was sure to come to stop these crazy people.

She arrived at the market it wasn’t a big one. There were stalls here and there mostly made out of wood and a cloth roof above it. there were sellers of a lot of stuf from fish to clothing. But in all fairness this market was nothing in comparison what she had seen in magnolia. But still since the attacking three days ago it wasn’t surprising that less people would come. As here and there groups of people were standing but it was clear they weren’t comfortable. She still had to get used to this market thing and the clothes of this world. On her world everything went via the web and this thing didn’t exist anymore. Well anyway time to wait for her partner or the fire mages to show up. She walked to a wall and leaned against it while she reached for her pocket letting a sigh out. she took out her pack of ciggy’s that was crumbled and took one out of it. Then a fancy small cylinder from her other pocket and aimed it at the sigy. after a clicking noice a small laser beam put the top of it on fire and she took a deep breath. She blow the smoke out in front of her and waited.

If the girl known as Chelly caused a stir it was nothing compared to the stir caused by the arrival of the man known as Riccardo Vigore, or more commonly Drunken Rick. Why was he called Drunken Rick? Because if the guy wasn't drinking then it was surprising as such he was taking a swig from his personal gourd flask, said in rumour to contain the best alcohol beverage in existence. Yet this wasn't what caused attention to be drawn. A small man with a long beard drinking wasn't much to draw attention, even if he was less than 5ft tall. Nor was his clothing that over the top. It was simply a purple coat with white fur trim, red trousers and black shoes. No, what caught everyone's attention was not Riccardo, nor his appearence, nor his drunken shouts or perverted cat calls. No, what caught their attention was his method of transportation for what he rode wasn't a vehicle nor was it a horse. No, he came riding a 5ft tall tiger named Cognac. Yet this tiger was no ordinary tiger. Its face and stripes were enough to show that. Cognac was a brandy tiger, a tiger whose blood alcohol level was so strong it was considered top grade brandy hence the name. Its face was distinctive due to it being slightly reddened from its natural intoxication. Yet it was the stripes that normally caught everyone's attention. Unlike most tigers the stripes were not coloured fur. No, they were entirely transparent and the colour that was visisble was the alcoholic blood beneath. The stripes were said to be darker the higher the alcohol content of the blood and Cognac's were very dark. He had been raised away from the Heavy Drinker Archipleago by Riccardo on even higher quality alcohol. Of course, that had been back in his glory days before the accident.

"Now I wonder where my pardner for this little mission is Cognac?" he said leaning down to speak into the tiger's ear causing it to flicker said ear in irritation. Riccardo had a voice like a foghorn. Rumours said in the glory days if this man shouted even a natural disaster wouldn't drown him out entirely. He wasn't that loud nowadays, but still...not something you wanted right next to your ear.

"I dunno buddy." the tiger slurred looking about as he stumbled along the path. This was another way to identify Cognac. He walked like he was perpetually drunk and that's because he was. All brandy tiger's were. However, they were also deadly in their own right. The man sat up and looked about till he noticed a girl smoking and wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"Hey young lady. A pretty little thing like you shouldn't be smoking." he said and the tiger came to a halt looking at the woman and shaking his head.

Chelly Took another deep breath from her ciggy and looked around. She blew the smoke out slowly as she still couldn’t see anything special happening till she heard a sound behind her. A lot of people’s heads were turning around to the direction the sound was coming from. Where the offenders here. She looked behind her and saw something strange and repulsing. This sure were not the guys they were looking for. No it was something way worse. It was a cat and an old man walking through the streets like they were drunk. What was more the man’s clothes were just fashionably horrible. She went back against the wall and waited for her partner. She didn’t want to keep looking at that horrible man. It was just so wrong. It gave chills over her back. Fate decided other wise and not much later she heard a strong heavy voice near her right side. She jumped up from the wall a bit from the surprise and jumped back wards in a defense position. That she even raised more since it was that bloody old man and tiger.

“Tsk smoking is maybe unhealthy in this world but my cigarettes are completely healthy. Now if youre not a mage that I need to partner with get lost man. I only need women or at least some men with fashion taste and don’t get close with that cat thing. I hate cats.”, she said while she shivered on the last words. Maybe he was her partner. Anyway this waiting was taking to long on her own she needed some recon of the area so she could find a good sniping position.

She took out a round disc that was metallic of color and had a red button in the middle. She laid it on the ground and pressed the red button. Metallic sounds started to be heard as the cubus started to change from form. Two circles came out with blades in it as the engines while the main form became more air dynamic and a gun shot out from underneath it. a kind of square tail came out the back with a empty spece between the tail and the main body. The eye started to brim with light and not much later a mechanical voice started to speak.

“beep….Start up procedure……Initializing……Starting Ui……Loaded 100%.....Starting engines…Engines are optimal…Starting Ai…..Loaded…  Xz-04 Is loaded and ready mis chelly. Units are optimal and we await your order. For once were in a nice place. I grow tired of all those dirty locations I have to scout. ”, the robot said nagging in a digital voice. It was her recon droid that came along from her own world. He was very usfull in all the triks he could do. But dam what a horrible AI he had.

“Yeah Yeah your always nagging. Just scan this market for a good place to sit for sniping Xz-04. Come back if you got a spot. I need to sat up position quickly.”, she said to the droid and then looked back at the old man who was still standing there. She threw her ciggy at the ground since it was finished and put it out with her foot. She looked at the old man and tiger with a angry face and awaited there answer.

Healthy cigarettes? What nonsense was this? They smelled identical in his mind, and he had a sharp nose, to regular cigarettes. Also, what did she mean this world? He shrugged his shoulders. "Well as I don't know ya name miss I can't really say if i'm ya pardner or not" he said taking a swig from his gourd flask. "If ya here to kick some fire mage butt then i'm ya man." He considered her comment on fashion taste and chuckled. "Bad fashion taste? I say that's a bit on the harsh side I happen to think I dress rather snappily."

He'd watch as she set up some weird robotic thing and spoke to it about finding a sniping spot. So this girl was here for a mission of some sort, probably the one he was on so likely he was indeed her partner. He hopped up onto the back of Cognac. "Well then Cognac...guess we better get ready to fight up close and personal." he said to the tiger who nodded and began to walk further into the market sniffing the air. Riccardo was not in all honesty looking forward to this. This other mage had already expressed a dislike for him and she'd be sniping. What was to stop her attacking him? On top of that it had been a while since he went into close combat. Normally he focused on crowd control and supporting allies. At least for now until his magic power returned properly. Fighting up close was fun, but it had been a while. "Ready Cognac?"

"I'm Rrrrready bossssss." the tiger growled with a slight slur to his voice.

Chelly looked at the man as he started to speak with that hard noise voice again. it hurt her sensitive neko ears. Another reason she hated these parts of herself. She realy needed to figure out a way to get rid of them. Either way that were concerns for later again. She was drifting a lot off with her mind today it seemed. That’s not good for a job she had to focus. A lot of people were depending on the two of them. It tunred out that he was her partner. Well she couldn’t be to picky about her partners could she be. Surently not when these fire mages were going around killing people in broad day light. she had to endure the guy till the job was over. That was sure a thing she could do.

“My name is chelly and yes I am your partner. It seems we both don’t like each other to much but these people are in trouble. I’ll go on top of the roof’s to give you cover. Here take these ear buds so we can communicate just don’t shout in them.”, chelly said to the man that was walking away as she got a little communicator from her breast pocket and threw it to the old man hopefully he would catch it. she brushed some of her hair back behind her ear when the communicator noise got her attention.

“Xz-04 here I found good location. top of the general store building In the north. Perfect over view of the market. Xz-04 out.”, the digital voice said before the disturbance of a cut off communicator was heard. So the general store. She looked at the building as she walked towards it. it was the tallest building on the market three story highs and looked pretty normal on the outside. What was the best thing it had climbing plants at the east side so she could get up from there. She ran to the plants and started to climb on it. people below were screaming to her to get down but she didn’t notice them. her hand’s got cut open here and there from a thorn but she didn’t notice it and climbed further up. The wound closed rather fast anyway from her immortal blood. She climbed up the roof and there her robot was hanging hovering. She walked to the corner that gave a view over the market and set down on her knee. And took out her sniper rifle. She put the hard and cold metal on her shoulder and was eyeing through her scope and watching everything that was happening on the ground. It didn’t take to long as she saw three man walking down the south road. They were wearing red clothes. and seemed to be making trouble screaming and shooting fire here and there. They didn’t seem to strong. Probably just low men of the clan.

“Old man if you have the communicator on their three fire wizards coming down the south road. They don’t look to strong but be care full there can be more around. Even if you’re a man we can’t have you dyeing”, she said to her communicator as she pressed the ear but. Well she didn’t really tell him how they worked. If he’s smart hell figure it out. she thought as she took two bullets out of her pocket and loaded it in her gun. Hopefully he could fight as he was rather old.

He caught the earbuds almost absent mindedly and put them in. He was curious as to what they were exactly and assumed they were some form of communications lacrima. "The things kids can do nowadays." the old man mumbled as him and Cognac walked down the street. Eventually they arrived at the centre of the market where he heard the voice from the ear buds as clearly as if she'd been next to her. He didn't try to work out how they worked, but jumped off of Cognac and walked over the mage's who hadn't noticed his arrival, or that of Cognac's which was amazing in itself. However, they would soon notice him because of what they did next. They blew up a stall that sold alcohol and not just any alcohol. It sold whisky, one of his favourite drinks. Sure it was probably terrible, but...no...that was too far. He stared for a moment in shock and horror, his eyes narrowing. Suddenly he shouted out at them.

"OI! Booze is always tasty. Rain or shine, day or night. Booze is always tasty so don't waste it and certainly don't blow it up." he said charging at them, which was quite amazing and humourous to see due to his short legs. His voice was so loud that Chelly could probably hear it on the rooftop, even over the sound of destruction, so it was probably a good thing he didn't know how the ear buds worked. He'd likely have deafened the poor neko. However, the mage he had targeted moved when he turned to look at who was shouting and his attack missed entirely. In quick succession three fireballs were launched at the old man. Two of them he dodged, but the third hit him on the shoulder. "COGNAC! WE GOT BOOZE WASTERS!" he shouted, possibly even louder than before. The tiger had not noticed this initially, but after being told this he let out a roar and charged swiping his claws at one of the mages. However, the mage was smart and threw up a shield of fire that singed the poor paw of the tiger. Riccardo stared for a moment and then nodded. "Shall we show 'em the power of booze?"

Chelly was looking through her and followed her partner walking to the mages. It seemed he was very angry when they destroyed a stall and she could hear him to the place she was sitting. He was shouting something of wasting booze. Dam his voice was so loud that she could hear it clearly. She was lucky that he didn’t use the ear buts. Because she didn’t want to be hearing a screeching peeping sound after he would have shouted through it. He attacked the man but he missed completely. Men always shouting but in the end they couldn’t get done what they wanted. The guy even got hit by a fire ball in the shoulder.

Well time for her to act she aimed slowly down her scope and aimed for the knee of the left man. The wnd was great she breath out and took the shot. Her finger pressed the trigger in. The blast echoed over the market and the bullet flew out of the gun right to the man. But he had heard the sound and just before the bullet was hit he shot a fire ball against it exploding midair. She quickly pulled the span again and aimed for the guys shoulder and shot again. but this time he made a sphere of fire catching the bullet. God dammed they had find her location. three fire balls flew from the other guys hands right at her location. the first couple of fire ball’s hit the building around her and exploded. The last one hit her right side of her hip and she rolled back ward. She felt the pain of the burn wound and her jacket was on fire. she threw it away and was angry as fuck. That was her best jacket and now she wasn’t that fashionable looking anymore.

“Goddamed mages that was my best jacket. And of course there males again. Time to get a friend out. this smoky friend will get those mages I am sure of it.”, she aimed down her sniper to the farest location she could open the portal from her and the closest to the mages. She focused on that location with all her might and imagined the smoke wolf from khilax. On the location she was focusing a red line started to appear and slowly started to rip open a gate way to another parallel world. Smoke was coming in and nor long after a head of wolf appeared. Instead of fur it had a skull on its head and red eyes. Half of it body was from smoke and it started to run to the fire mages. They seemed to be startled as the first mage got bit in his leg before he could defend himself. The wolf disposed in smoke and appeared behind the man he tried to bit him in the arm but the other mage threw a box in front of the wolf so he bit trough the box. The next attack was blocked by the man as he had picked up a metal bar and stick it between the wolfs theeth. In the meantime chelly was reloading.

The issue with fighting three men in close combat was that, even with a tiger helping you, they could generally surround you. It was especially bad when you were out of practise and not as young as you used to be. These mage's seemed to be highly defensive as they blocked the attack of both himself and Cognac with a ball of fire. The old man decided to show off a little of his agility by dropping to the ground narrowly dodging two fire balls, but as he leapt back up he was hit in the back by a punch and sent rolling into a stall.

"Stay out of this old man." one of the mage's said as Riccardo slowly rose to his feet dusting himself off. The old man closed his eyes and then snapped his fingers. The large tiger came over to him and stood in front. "You and your tiger are no match for skilled fire mages."

"Yesterday is history. Tommorow is a mystery, but today is a gift that's why its called the present." the man said causing the fire mage to give him an odd look. "No-one knows what is going to happen next so i'm gonna just enjoy myself and give you boys the hiding you deserve." The three men laughed and grinned at one another. It seemed he'd got them distracted momentarily from Chelly, which was a good result, especially as he hadn't planned it. What he had done for definite though is get them to lower their guard. Perfect.

Chelly pulled back the bolt handle and the clicking noise made it clear she was loaded and ready again. it seems the old man had distracted the enemy’s. the perfect moment for her to act. She laid down again and aimed carefully for the knee of the second man. She breathed out to make her aim more steady. And her finger calmly pulled over the trigger. The bullet left the room and flew right at the man but the other fire mage blocked the bullet by a fire ball again. they seemed to be more skilled then she thought at first. She quickly pulled it back and shot another bullet at the other man but he jumped behind a cart and the bullet got stuck in the wood. This fight was taking longer than it should be. She placed her fingers on her mouth and whistled.

The wolf was skipping around to find a good attacking place. But at first he couldn’t really get in to it. but then with the sniper shots from his summoned he could get behind the fire mages. One of them turned around and attacked him with a small fire ball again. He jumped out of the way and the ball easily missed. He then jumped to the legs of the man. But the man tried to hit him with a melee strike but the wolf was too fast and jumped away again. the man then breathed in and placed a hand in front of his mouth shooting out a breath of flames down on the wolf. A normal wolf would have been crisped. But this wolf had one mechanism to protect himself and that was his smoke. The wolf disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared again after the attack was over. He then heard the whistle of his boss and aimed his bac at the man. A second later a couple of shadow tentacles flew out to grab the man. But he covered himself in a fire shield unable to move and the tentacles were burned away.

It seemed that luck was both with them and against them for every attack the three launched either missed or he managed to dodge in some other way, including one rather clever way by grabbing a large bit of metal, a trashcan lid, and blocking a fireball. The same lid which he threw for his attack aiming to hit one of them, but it flew straight through the middle missing them entirely. He slammed his fist down onto a convenient stall that was nearby and it broke in two. It was really an impressive break. So luck was against him and for him. He was unharmed from their attacks, but they were unharmed from his.

However, it was not only him. Cognac had leaped at them and tried to claw one in two, but a fire barrier blocked him once more. Those fire barriers were really quite irritating. They always seemed to come up at the last minute. Riccardo knew he and Cognac would need to step up his game significantly in order to deal with them. He had seen the support from his 'partner' but it had not been that effective either. There had to be a way to defeat them, but how?

Then he had an idea and grinned slightly. He was going to step up his game. "Cognac keep them busy." Riccardo said loudly as usual. He needed a few seconds to prepare for his next attack. It was the only way he could gain an edge.
