View attachment 48932 It seemed as if the stormbringer was growing more and more overwhelmed. With explosive results against both arms, the head was being occupied with powerful spells and splitting the head in half. He was completely tired at this point. He did not think he would get any rest. Hughes seemed to think that he won. Shiro's aura increased which was impressive. Wind began to encompass Shiro as it was cutting the air all around him. The dome halted from shrinking as it began to crack. Like too much water pressure in a tank, the wind barrier began cracking like a snowglobe and eventually shattered open, as a gust of wind pushed back everyone accept for Shiro and Hughes. With the two of them confined in the vortex. The battle was over. He wanted to help but he was not sure he would make it that far. Hughes then said, 'Actually... my biggest joy in death... Is knowing that you're all oblivious... to the.... traitor..... among.... you.....' He was not all that surprised. 'IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE IS TARGETING US.' He was not sure how this was news. This was as old as time. Aux then INTRODUCED. himself. This was not the best idea. Mizu quickly summoned a smaller version of Sprinkles that grasped Aux in it's hands. Why did people have to be so stupid? He took a step forword to help and felt pain. Ugg he thought to himself. He found that he could not move that much. It probably did not help that he was by himself most of the battle. He watched as Ananta moved and stood between the two. He let out a sigh. Not much new there too. It seemed as people were taking one side or another. He stood there as ignis said, 'Oh for crying out loud, this is getting ridiculous..' He watched as Ignis walked up and grabbed her keyblade from the creature's arm and yanked it out, burning the last bit away and letting Aux go. That was probably not the smartest thing to do. Then Aislinn said, 'I agree with Ignis. Aux has been helpful this entire time, there is no reason to start questioning it now.' He was not sure where Aislinn has been but Aux was anything but helpful. He did almost next to nothing when he was partnered with him then Aux had left him to die in the heartless battle but sure lets us go with helpful. He was not all that surprised with the Aux situation. He did not feel any of this was necessary. People using magic on one another and what not. People were being stupid and the people that were being stupid did not surprise him. He took a few steps forward nearing the group. He wanted to say what was on his mind. He watched as Ananta walked off. As he walked forward he neared Kaida, Beuce, Aux, and Hikaru. The pain was increasing he felt so tired and before he could say anything he collapsed from exhaustion. Then there was nothing....
adding fira to equipped magic also added abilities which are edited on the wiki

He could somehow tell that the battle would be ending soon. He looked out to the heartless. It was time for this to end. AJ used Seeker Mine

Both of the darkside heartless seemed to be defeated. He was quite happy that this battle was over. That said he knew that this would not be over so soon or as easy. Then a new bigger darkside heartless showed up. whelp this was going to be fun. The Stormbringer lifted it's arms to the sky, causing a thunderstorm to form around the arena. The Stormbringer looked down as it began to rain. Ananta did not seem to be to happy about fighting with them. He did not care at this point they had things to do. maybe there was light at the end of the tunnel. He just could not be sure at the moment. It was quite possible that this was Hughes's last resort. With That said and done it was likely that this Stormbringer had some sort of plan. Things just do not use rain for no reason. For now he was not going to think about it and charged forward. AJ used Seeker Mine
View attachment 48893 The first Thea said was, 'I will not wait around and stay hidden. We have to save Selena. I am not a child, I am just as strong as any of you!' He walked over to Thea not sure what to say at first. "You are right. It is you that is stronger then me." As he said this he came to the realization himself. "Never sell yourself short Thea." Then Thea continued with, 'I am just as much a member of this guild so stop treating me like a child!' It was just that he was not use to having someone so young in the guild. "When I was younger I was always on the move, moving from place to place because of my magic. People doing what they could to get to me. I did not want that for others. You can make your own choices now and if you ever need help you have the guild to turn to." Then a thought came into his mind. "You have fire magic Thea, far more useful then my magic. What am I going to do blow a few hairs of the spider? Nah you got this. You could probably burn Xislyn to a crisp. That is unless it is immune to fire but we can worry about that later." He looked at Thea straight on and said, "I am sorry for everything and you can take care of yourself. In truth I worry about not doing enough for the guild." He turned to Zephyr when he said, 'I'm not gotta die, trust me on that matter.' "I just worry." When Zephyr had said that he was going to go after Thea he just let him and felt even more useless. Hopefully they would understand his heart was in the right place. As he waited for what was to come he pulled out a silver object out of his pocket and just looked at it.
View attachment 48892 Apparently Selena was captured which Garrett somehow missed. When Zephyr said, 'Do any of you happen to know where Xislyn's lair is?' With the turn of events he was kind of surprised in the readiness of going to attack Xislyn. He had sugested on going to kill Xislyn but he did not think that people would be so ready to do so. Izra then said, 'I get in through a tunnel that's underground. It leads to the storage room under the Town Hall.' He figured that there was a other way in. 'The mayor and his cult followers use it to steal the children away at night.' This seemed odd that they were just finding this out now. Then Kyo said, 'I know where Xislyn's lair is, I mean. I've been close there a few times.' He knew that Zephyr was going to go regardless of what was said. "Do we have a plan of attack or are we just going in?" Thinking of Thea the first thing that he thought of was how dangerous it would be for her. "I do not think that it might not be the best idea for you to come. I want to keep you safe." He was not sure how useful he would be in this fight after all he did not have fire to fight with. With that said and done he was ready for the battle. As he looked out to the others he seemed deep in thought.
The first thing that Stratos said was, 'yeah, I'm fine. Not my first really strong pretty aggressive girl I've dealt with.' "Ok as long as you are ok." It probably would not be the last time he had to deal with someone like Ignis. When Ignis said a Pun it was probably the said thing he has ever seen. There was not much to do but attack so he did. AJ used Seeker Mine
View attachment 48874 The first thing that Kaida said, to Ignis, 'I disagree with that. You know what I think is the lowest? Deadpan comedy. Or even anti-humor. Or a mixture.' As long as you got enjoyment out of something and it was not hurting anyone he did not see the issue. The red darkside heartless seemed to be changing some sort of attack. This was not good. Stratos then said, 'nah see, the lowest form of humor is going to be this guy, six feet under when we're done with him.' He did not think that Stratos met literally because he did not think it would be possible to bury something so large. Stratos continued with, 'well, you heard the two. This isn't the time for jokes Ignis.' He was more so talking about talking about his homeworld but he srugged it off and looked onto the red darkside heartless. He took a glance over at Ignis. He watched as she walked over to Stratos and knocked him on the head with her fist and said, 'Next time you try to place the blame for something on me that was your fault for continuing, you're going to wish you had Heartless instead of me to deal with.' He was not sure what was wrong with this woman. "So just because you are angry you have to hit someone?" There was a darkside right there so he did not see why Ignis could not just go over to that and attack the darkside if she felt the need to push something. He did not know Stratos that well but there were other ways. You have words for a reason use them, he thought. It was like dealing with a child that did not get what they wanted. He hated seeing someone get hurt and if he had to he would defend them. He walked over to Stratos once Ignis was gone. "Are you alright?" While he waited for Stratos to answer he heed to prepare for the battle and wind armor came around him. AJ used Aerora on himself
View attachment 48873 The pun that Aux had made did count in his opinion. Kaida mumbled to herself and he looked over to her. He thought that it was best to have some fun when you could because you could never know when the next time would be. Kaida then said, 'I'm surprised you jumped in on the puns though. You don't seem like the kind of guy to jump in on a group gag.' He shruged at it at first. He did not really thinking about it. "I have to find some way to entertain myself. It was what I had to do on my homeworld. With no one to talk to for the most past and I had to be always looking over my shoulder." At the mere mention of his homeworld his face changed to that of sadness. "No time for that now." Brushing off the thought. "We have a battle to focus on." Stratos and Kaida had already attacked the red darkside heartless. Ignis then said to Kaida, 'I don't know what you're grumbling about. Puns are just the lowest form of humor, and I prefer not to hear them.' Did the girl not know that you had to have fun some of the time? He just let it go. It was not worth getting into. He then watched Ignis walk up to Aux oh this was not going to be good. She then proceeded to poke him aggressively. Well that was probably not a good thing to do. Ignis continued with, 'And I don't care if that was intentional or not, if you're going to side with me, do it properly, or keep that trap zipped so you keep yourself from looking like a buffoon.' He let out a sigh and turned his attention to the darkside. He guessed that sometimes you had to go with the flow. He thought that now was the best option to do something. He need to attack with something and soon water came out of his keyblade. AJ used Aqua Splash
View attachment 48872 He had somehow taken a large amount of heartless out fighting alone. How he had manged to do it he was still not completely sure of. Hughes summoned three darksides heartless and three demon tides. Well the battle was not over yet. The red colored darkside heartless was the closest to him. At this point he was free to move about from the spot he had been the whole fight. He felt tired and he was still glade that there were no mirrors in the realm of darkness. He did not want to know what he looked like. He spotted Aux, Ignis, Kaida, Luna, and Stratos not to far off. It was time for another battle. The battle was escalating far too quickly and he wondered how much more Hughes would push the group. It was nice to see people after fighting alone for so long. That was when kaida said, 'Hope you guys are ready for this to get... electrifying.' He was not sure what he was he was ready for if he was being truthful. At this point he figured that this was probably the best time to summon his keyblade. He thought about it and the keyblade appeared. He knew that it was going to be nice to fight with a keyblade. He also knew that fighting with others was going to be nice after the last three waves of fighting alone. That was when, Stratos said, 'I think things are more likely to get a bit hot in here.' Then Ignis followed up with, 'So are you two going to make bad puns every time you attack?' "We have to have some fun somehow." It was not like doing puns was hurting anyone. At this point he was just happy to see anyone so he did not mind the puns. That was when Aux said, 'Never a big enough punch line.' Then he said 'That doesn't count.' He just smiled at Aux. "Well I say it is time to have a explosive battle." With that said and done he thought about what he wanted and mines showed up. AJ used Seeker Mine
View attachment 48871 The first thing that Izra said was, 'We have everything planned out. Even for just in case this happened.' He thought there might have been a better way, but that did not mater now. Soon a book was brought over. Kyo then said, 'We've been working in the background for quite some time. There's a sinister plot at hand, and it has been going on for years. Did you notice the spiderwebs when you made your way here? That's part of the problem.' "Why do you not just hire someone to kill it?" He guessed that this was easier said then done and it was not why they were here. Jack came back with a leather bound book. Kyo continued his stroy, 'You see, when Murgate was founded, the first settlers ran across a nest of spiders and stirred them up. As we came to find find out, it belonged to a demon called Xislyn.' "A powerfull thing interesting." He was sure that a few S class members would be enough that said, it would be dangerous. Kyo then showed them a page showing a sinister looking monster that was crossed between a human and a spider, the torso being human and the rest being spider limbs. "That thing looks nasty." 'She made a bargain with our great, great grandparents; if they sacrifice one of their children every two to three months, she would not only leave them alone and let them live, but help them prosper as well; crops would be successful, there would be hardly any diseases or illnesses, and they could obtain wealth and power' "So they went with it." It did not seem all that smart or well thought out but he was not there and it might have been there only option at the time. The story continue with people saying that they lost people. 'We wanted to do something about it to stop it, but there was no way to. Leaving the village means certain death.' "How so? I mean I guess Xislyn would want you to stay for the life force it gets." At this point it seemed that they were few in numbers to do anything about the spider for the time being. That was when Izra said, 'But then they decided to go after your young friend while everyone was distracted.' "Um, If you mean Thea no one has made a move towards her." Nothing has happen that would say otherwise. Izra continued, 'But that’s where you come in. We need your help to save Selena. After that, I was thinking the Magic Council will finally take me seriously if I have more than one witness to this evil happening. And then we can put a stop to this. Will you help us?' He wanted a plan before he agreed to anything. "Does Midarah know about this?" If she did know then she knew the danger of coming here and if not then she show know. "If she does not know she should be informed." He looked to Izra then said, "how is it that you get in and out of town hall?" They need a plan for this to work. "We need the mayor to believe we did the job or scared you off somehow. Perhaps if he believes you are gone for good he will let his guard down." Then something came to mind. "If he does want Thea for this Xislyn then Thea Getting 'lost' maybe the best option." That was when Thea said, 'That is terrible! Why would they sacrifice children?' "Maybe it was there only option at the time." He did not like it himself. "So first thing we need to do is come up with a plan and then move quickly." He did not know what else to say for the moment.
View attachment 48864 They followed Izra. They ended up moving farther away from town. He was not all that surprised when swamps ended up all around them at one point. He wondered if this was the best place for for the children. After a while, they came to a clearing and ahead was an abandoned house next to a disheveled looking barn. Izra made a low, whistling sound and a large group of kids came running out. This seemed to be everyone, so she was not lying about that. Good to know. Kyo stepped out from the shadows of the house, holding one little one so they were resting on his hip. He was a little surprised to see Kyo here, but not all that surprised about Jack. "You do know that Kyo works for the mayor." That was when Kyo said, 'You’re wondering what’s going on, I assume?' He was so so wondering why they were lied to. That was when Thea said, 'Oh no! I stopped you from saving another child. We need to go rescue them before they get hurt. You should have saved them not me. I can fight for myself. See I have magic.' "I am sure a few more hours are not going to hurt." That said he was not sure what was going on. Thea then said, 'Can we go back? Can we help them rescue the other girl? I don't want anyone to get hurt for me. That is unfair. We should go.' "We need to find out what is going on first." Saving the children was well and good but unless they knew what was going on they would be no help to the children.
I don't know how I wil do but I am in. :)
View attachment 48845 While he stood there and waited for Zephyr to say something Necos took off there hood. It was a girl with short hair and haunting reddish, purple eyes. She looked to be youngish. to say he was surprised was a understatement. Everything pointed to Necos being a guy. 'My real name is Izra. I'm an independent mage, looking for odd jobs while trying to figure out what guild I want to join.' This was all interesting. That was when izra said, 'If I would have come out in the opening like a normal person in Murgate, you would have been killed.' "I am not so sure about that." That said at some point he was sure that they would find out what she was talking about. 'Or others would have been killed. Probably children I hadn't saved too.' He was somewhat interested in finding out more. That said, it was better to find the children right now. 'We're wasting time here. I'll give her my flute if you need some sense of control.' At this he gave Thea nod saying to do what she wished, weather that be taking the flute or not was up to her. Soon Zephyr said, 'Trap or not, if they telling the truth and the kids are safe then we should confirm it with our own eyes.' He was more so stating the possibility of it, not that they should not go. "Once we find out about the children we can talk more." With that he was ready to move on.
Moving through the horde, the boy got in a guarded stance as yet another Neo Shadow leaped at him. As the Neo Shadow had charged him, the boy stepped backward, immediately evading the first of the attacks from it. However, this way not enough as the Neo Shadow began to spin around, rushing into him and striking into unguarded self. The wind being knocked out of him, as the neo shadow's foot knocked into him, the boy skidded backward. Putting up his hands again, the heartless moved towards him with its claws, raking them over his arm causing a large cut to form across it. Wincing in pain, he looked for an opening against the heartless he was fighting, though the creature was moving much faster than usual and was unrelenting in its pressure. Trying to evade the attacks, the boy kept moving side to side. Punching forward, the boy struck the heartless's claw, with his wepond. He was able to destroyimg the claw entirely. Moving in closer to the creature, he then slid into it with his fist striking dead on into the creature's gut. As he forced the creature back, he then delivered one powerful roundhouse kick to the Neo Shadow's head, causing it to lurch to the side before being destroyed under the damage it had taken. He watched as a small group of drakball heartless come out of no where and ended up floating in front of him. They tilted their heads, looking at the sky aimlessly as they rose like black ink from no where to the leveled plain. They looked to him with intense glowing eyes. Their bent teeth showed. One of the darkball heartless jumped towards him, prompting him to tilt his head up as he watched the darkball hearless come towards him. The heartless looked down immediately and made a mad gliding dash towards the man. He remained in place as he watched the heartless approach him at an alarming speed. As the darkball heartless prepared to spinn away at his face, He quickly stabbed the darkball heartless by it's head causing it to flail. He glared at the creature as he jumped into the air, the darkball heartless' head still in his palm. As he jumped back down, he swung down his hand, slamming his palm and the heartless' head with it. Now that it was unable to escape becasue of the countless heartless infrount of him. With a heavy swing, he attacked another darkball heartless. The rotund heartless was caught unaware and he threw the darkball heartless into another one. He sent the darkball heartless into it companion. The darkball heartless would at least would take some damage. As much as he wanted to say they were getting close to finishing up their fight here, it was hard to convince himself of that. He looked around and noticed that there were just begining the battle. He fired off a another strike to a wayward darkball heartless. He took a swing at another darkball heartless, taking it out and looking around. It seemed kind of strange how there were so many enemies and yet they did not just completely overwhelm him all at once. It had appeared that he somehow had managed to get the darkballs to slow down. They were slowed down for now but he knew that they would attack soon. It seemed that the stopped darkballs were not going to stay stopped. Taking another deep breath, and ready for the onslot that was sure to come from the darkballs and shadows. With his wepond at the ready the boy charged forward with swift speed rushing towards the darkball heartless. before they could do anything. With a single cut nothing seemed to happen at first, only for the keyblade master to then immediately strike with yet another swing of his weapon the darkball exploded. total Words: 645 Exp: 60 Exp Total: 3600 Heartless Defeated: 16 neoshaodw 4 darkballs Heartless Remaining: 85 Neoshadows 75Darkballs
View attachment 48844 He spotted Zephyr shortly after he got there. Once he had reached the flute player something became clear one the flute player was playing them and if he wanted to do something by now he would have done it. That said maybe this flute player was trying to get there trust. 'I’m the one known as Necos... That’s not my real name though.' He figured that much out already. 'You were in terrible danger back there. I was here to save someone else, but you needed to be saved first. There’s something evil going on in this town, something I uncovered while I was here on another errand... and it involves the children and young ones like you.' said as he spoke to Thea. This man was clearly a not job or crazy. That was when the flute player said, 'When I heard that mages from an official guild were here, I had to find a way to talk to you in private, away from the ears and eyes of the townsfolk. I wasn’t expecting it to turn out this way... I’m sorry I had to do that.' "There was a better way then what you did." If this person could not figure that out then this person was not all that bright. 'I don’t know how to make you believe me. But the children I took are all safe.' Again he was not all that surprised. 'I tried to get the attention of the Magic Council on the manner, but they turned a blind eye.' "How do we know you did any of this?" He was not about to put all of his trust into this man. Thea then said, 'What sort of danger? What sort of evil? They said you were taking their children and they were just trying to keep them safe. I don't understand. I do want to see the other kids, I need to know that they are alright. And if you are telling the truth we need to help the others.' They did come for the children that much was certain but who was the bad guy here? Zephyr then said, 'I'd prefer to confirm the safety of the kids before hearing whatever he has to say.' "This could very well be a trap", he said to Zephyr. Things did not added up just yet. There were other things he wanted to say but he did not want the flute player to here. He tried to give Zephyr a look saying he wanted to talk without the flute player hearing.
