The quest for light starts in the land of shadow.

"Trust your instincts." Was what Zack said as he overheard Sephira's question. There was a smile on his face as he had seen Heero walk off without talking. It seemed the man shared his thoughts for action. There was no sense waiting about here and discussing things. None of them knew each other's abilities. None of them knew exactly what they were up against. Planning would be impossible. They would have to fight first and learn how to deal with the situations in combat. That was the only way forward. He headed off after the pair rising up without effort and soon catching up to overheard Kyll's question.

"I think I can answer that one." he said with another smile. "1. Time is of the essence so they didn't have time for us to get to know eachother 2. There aren't enough strong mage's avaliable in any guild for a well established team to be used 3. We don't know exactly what we are up against so training to fight one way might not be right way...we can only learn through fighting them. " He shrugged nonchalantly. "That's my thoughts anyway. Could be wrong of course, but it doesn't matter to me. I tend to not be the planning kind anyway...I trust my instincts."

He didn't rush off ahead for once. That was his natural impulse in most situations, but in this case he decided not to follow that urge. The reason? His instincts told him that to do so would be suicide. They would need every person here to deal with whatever was up ahead. He focused and strained his senses looking for any sign of what they were here for.

Devon had flown quickly to join him and she too was using what senses she had to stretch out and detect anything. Unlike Zack and Kyll her wings were much more instinct like and were real wings to some extent. However, unlike a bug's wings hers were composed of a strange green light. She was a demon fairy of Malkariss. "Soon it will begin and we must fight with every ounce of our strength." Zack nodded in agreement. There would be no holding back in this regard. It was all out fighting or they would fail and the world would be lost. Zack took a depp breath. He had to prepare himself. He would not hesistate. He would destroy the threat with all his might. There was no choice in the matter.

Devon already had her spear out by her side ready to wield it at the least sign of trouble. She never hesitated in combat. She had a kill or be killed philosophy. Something Zack rarely shared. He liked to let people live so they could give him a rematch in the future. "Well hopefully I won't forget this job." He looked over at Kyll. "You best land soon. Those wings won't last much longer...sorry about that. Its a spell I rarely have to use so I've never really trained it to last longer."

So it seemed Sephiria had bought Simon's lies. Again. But before Simon had a moment to celebrate he was approached by Kyll who revealed herself as the heinous witch who had indirectly caused Simon to eat ghost pepper sauce. Even though he had done so knowing what it was he still blamed her. As much as he wanted to do an acrobatic pirouette off the handle and go no-holds-barred beatdown revengance on her that was going to have to be a battle for another day. Assuming there was a day after this one. On that serious note Simon began listening to everyone's light strategy talk, Simon's plans normally consisted of nothing more then "CHARGE AND SHOOT YOUR BIGGEST THING TO SHOOT!" Which normally worked very well. Today would have to be different for he was the light firepower. Sadly with big names like Heero and Zack, Simon's flame wasn't going to be the one racking up the big damage.

But then as it turned out the plan everyone came to agree on was "let's wing it." So business as usual.

On this mission Simon was packing his favorite weapon of choice. The Demon Cannonball Tzar, a weapon of mass holy destruction. A gift from his demonic father Tzar was enchanted to be extra effective at destroying the forces of evil. Hence why Simon had chosen to bring it on a trip that toured Shadow Island and Galuna Island. At the moment the weapon was wrapped up in cloth and shoved in a backpack Simon was wearing. Said backpack included other mission essentials like crackers and cookies.

It was also really heavy.

But it would prove useful almost immediately as the first of what would eventually be many enemies appeared. At first it just seemed like 3 enemies(which Heero dealt with easily) but as it turned out there had been another 3 in hiding (that or the original 3 reformed after being destroyed, Simon wasn't sure) and one snatched up Heero with a surprise attack. Just perfect. Suddenly frustrated at the lightning slayer Simon yelled "Oi Heero! That's not how you win a fight! You aren't supposed to let the bad guys catch you!" It seemed common knowledge but Simon felt it was worth reminding to Heero as it was important.

So with the pre-fight prep-talk given Simon went into action. He charged out in front of the group and reached into his backpack. Just as he got close to the shrouded ones Simon jumped high into the air sailing above them as he pulled out a large round bundle easily the size of Heero's ego. The dark entities spun to try and attack Simon but it was too late for that. As he about to land Simon pulled off the cloth with a single motion revealing Tzar to the world. It was kind like a slip-on peg leg with a wreaking ball at the bottom. Simon stuck his right foot in Tzar and landed on top of the large metal ball that made up the majority of Tzar's body. At this moment the shrouded ones were right behind him and were about to bring down their shadowy scimitars on his back when suddenly Simon bursted away with incredible speed.

While his running was awkward thanks to the fact that his weapon of choice made the length of his legs way uneven but Simon was still incredibly fast(being most used to running with the silver wreaking ball on). It took him hardly any time to catch up with the shadow creature that was hauling off Heero. The poor thing didn't really have a chance, Simon jumped above it and brought Tzar down on it's head hard. "Purification!" The divine weapon shone with holy light and obliterated the shrouded one on contact. Leaving just Simon and Heero alone an unhealthy distance away from their party. Not wanting to waste anymore magic power Simon took off Tzar and shoved it back in his back pack. The phoenix glanced down at Heero "Oi oi get up already. Or do I need to save you from gravity too?"

Sephiria was on alert, the group’s plan seemingly coming together as a consensus of do whatever. This felt good to the dragon-God she needed to stop thinking herself as a dragon slayer as she wasn’t that. The demon slayer sighed and scratched her head, not realizing that everything would go to hell and a handbasket real soon. She turned to speak to Simon, ready to discuss more about how they had been since last meeting, but she was rudely interrupted by Heero defeating three enemies which had tried to come out and attack the group while their guard was down. He was taken away by another, but Simon quickly followed after. Sephiria, however, stomped her foot down in a fit as she watched them fly off. “Oi thats not fair now! Leave some of them for the rest of us.” She spoke in a whiny tone, seemingly ignoring the two that had stayed behind while Heero was being dragged away. One of the two shrouded appeared behind her, ready to cut her in the back and possibly catch her off guard. A quick elbow to its face from the annoyed poison slayer cut that off. “Hey now, I was busy having a fit! Go bother Kyll or Zack.” She said as she spun around in one swift motion and kicked it away.

The demon slayer was about to go back to slowly brooding, but she realized something she had grossly forgot. “I just kicked away the enemy I was complaining about not fighting didn’t I?” Sephiria asked out to no one in particular. Slapping herself in the face for being such an idiot, the celestial jumped up to her feet and immediately ran in the direction she had kicked the shrouded enemy. Running as fast as possible, she didn’t have the time to avoid the cut as one of the shrouded enemies’ decided to slice her in the stomach with a scimitar. It hurt, but it only served to piss off the demon slayer. “Alright. Thats it!” Sephiria flipped herself over, as to stop herself, and then avoided a second slash from the shroud as she swung back at it. The hit missed, and she growled at her own inability to fight properly. “Stand still!” She yelled while swinging a bit more wildly at the shroud, missing constantly as she was sliced twice more before growling.

“Fine! I’m gonna enjoy beating the crap out of you!” Sephiria headbutted the shroud, making it stumble as she relaxed her arms towards her sides. She then flicked her hands forward, calling out the name of a spell she had gotten adjusted to using. “Venom Demon’s Shotgun!” Out of her fingertips came ten bullets of poison, which struck the shroud head on and disintegrated it almost immediately. Sephiria smirked, rubbing her nose after defeating such an enemy.

“Yeah. Score another one for me!”
