    It seemed a new foe had appeared shortly after their conversation with Lucy. Things were going well until then. For whatever reason, the woman in front of them had an orb as well. Her status and attitude to take their own gave hint enough that she probably obtained that orb by stealing it from some past user. Star activated her chakrams and was ready to fight as soon as fire creatures came in front of them to combat. This didn't seem to be normal with this world.

    Star threw her chakram at one of the fire creatures and pulled it back out, killing it quickly. These creatures seemed easy enough to defeat, but right now it was quantity over quality. They had to work together, a concept she wasn't too fond of, but it had to be done. Another one of the creatures was charging at her. She leaped into the air and sliced its body, making it disappear.

    There were two more that were coming from her sides. She spun around and sliced both of them. Apparently another had begun to fight too. They managed to kill 8 of them, but that was only a fraction of the total amount. They were going to have to work harder to defeat more of them. They also had the unanswered question on who that woman actually was.

    A twitch of the eye followed merely a sigh as he rubbed his temples at the results that Hunter received. Perhaps he was over thinking thing and perhaps the answer was right before his own eyes. These people were living in quite the poor condition and the explanation that the girl named Lucy stated was something that seemed logical. Was this world aware of the many other worlds that they all originated from or was it only two worlds that these people were aware of. This king needed to be stopped and soon. It sounded like this king could potential lead to the orb of this world and pose a serious threat as well.

    The question of what next was to be asked, however that would only be paused for a moment as the sound of an explosion took place and called the group over to investigate. Everybody excluding his group vanished and Alkes could only wonder if this occurrence was something of cowardice or merely the work of an enemy. In any case the enemy was right before him, taking form of a woman and minions of flame. She desired the orbs they held, but were these orbs truly that special? The orb he held did not feel that special, but regardless he would not merely hand it over to the enemy.

    "Lets make this quick" Alkes said. Pulling out his orb, Alkes held out his arm and clenched the orb tightly before it shattered into energy. The energy began to spiral around him until it surrounded his arms and legs. Looking down upon his hand he closed his eyes "This will do..." Alkes said. For him his body was a weapon and under the rules of a saint he could not use a weapon. From behind a beast attempted to take a swipe at him, but Alkes was fast. He turned around quickly and with his clenched fist he thrust the fist forward, connecting the fist with the beast's head and knocking it off the body.

    Dashing forward with his fists clenched, Alkes quickly sidestepped and dodged a blow before he sent his left fist through the Umbra of Fire's chest. Two more attempted to attack Alkes while he was preocupied, however Alkes quickly pulled his fist out and spun, raising his leg and preformed a powerful roundhouse kick that cut through the opponent. They were easy, but there was still a hoard left as well as that woman as well. He could not lower his guard.

    As Galia sat there and watched and judged the girl as they strutted across the stage. None of them too impressive. Then something else happened, something really funny. A lady came up and turned the contestants to stone. Well what a poor loser she was, she obviously wasn't going to win. It was funny actually. Though the tides changed quickly as others appeared and began talking about smashing the girls and making it a competition. There was a time limit and if they didn't do the task in time the girls would be gone or if the master didn't hand over his title. "Hasn't anyone heard of you know hard work to get what you want not threats." Galia mumbled to herself as she threw her orb up and caught it turning into a cannon.

    After listening to a quick explanation of what was going on from the guild master Galia turned to the door. "Lets get going, I have been itching to try this thing out on a real target. Those battle dummies are so easy to destroy." Galia began to complain about the training dummies. Soon enough she was out the door and searching for the man they had been sent after, though it was hard considering she had no idea what he looked like, she would make it work. Galia was sure even lighting couldn't outrun her cannon.

    Another had joined their fight to end these strange demon creatures. Star didn't mind if combat was involved. Working alone in combat situations was never really a good strategy, even if she hated the idea, she knew it must be done. The chakrams in her hands began to glow as she cast flare onto two of the enemies. That however did nothing. Not the brightest of moves.

    Star leaped into the air after the explosion of fire on fire contact and decapitated the two Umbra. She turned around to slice at another and another after that. These things just kept coming though. Those with a nature to enjoy the death of small minions though probably were enjoying themselves.

    Demon slaying. Felt rather familiar to Zephine for some reason. Disregarding that aside, she continued to fight the creatures with unwavering will and gusto. And a giant scythe. The scythe really helped in killing these things. As she had been going in on a tear against them she had started to notice that others in the group had joined in on a good deal of the merriment. Huzzah for teamwork! As she watched both Star and the purple haired dude do their own thing, she was kind of wondering what the hell these weapons being a reflection of one's own personality meant. Though, she figured thinking too hard on something like this would probably just result in her brain hurting and no answers being found.

    As she had been pondering on this, the fire umbras had, once again, managed to get the drop on her. Though, because they were rather slow and their presence had next to no masking whatsoever, Zephine simply brought her scythe around back, with the blade facing towards her and jumped forward. The umbra was taken off guard by this as the blade hooked on its neck, though wasn't quite decapitated yet. Fixing this, Zephine started to hop around in a circle, causing the hooked blade to spin across the demon's neck until finally, the head came clean off and the burning body fell limp to the ground. Well that was fun.

    Seeing a few more demons that needed to be killed, she stretched out her hand and then fire shot out of it. Whoa. That was cool. The fire was completely ineffective given her magical aptitude combined with the fact that they were fighting...well fire demons. It was still cool nonetheless. However, these demons needed to get killed and killed they would be. Charging forward, she spun her scythe around like a bit of a maniac, lopping off a few limbs of two that were approaching before their bodies just couldn't take all the wounds before crumbling to ash. With only one demon left to kill before her, she simply ran at it, and struck straight at the neck, lopping the head off. Well, that was eventful.

    Turning around she saw that there was still a sizable amount of these buggers left. Well that was annoying. Deciding to keep things to a bit more than just monotonous slaughter, Zephine simply called out,
    "so Star and uh, guy who punches stuff. How's it going? I mean, I think it's pretty interesting here. After all, we were tasked with a mission and within all of five minutes of getting it we're all ready fighting baddies."

    Acele leaned on the table she was at, with her head resting on her hand, feeling like she was going to fall asleep. Even though there was a party going on around them, there really didn't seem to be much going on. Even with the Beauty Contest, Acele felt like she was going to die of boredom. After the first few contestants arrived on stage for the contest, a final contestant showed up, with blond hair and a very large lower portion that made Acele seem slightly jealous. Even with her tomboyish attitude, she did have some notice of herself, and she did not enjoy being shown up all the time.

    After the last female came up on stage, one more showed up, to the surprise of everyone else. This last person seemed to glare at the other girls, and in a second, they seemed to turn to stone. The master of the guild yelled at the lady, and demanded for her to turn them back to normal. "I really doubt she'd do something like this if she was going to listen to you without a say in the matter," Kid mumbled under her breath.

    Two others showed up next to the female and began chatting about how some sort of challenge was going around town, and they had to find some person. While Acele didn't know what was going on, it sounded like there was a fight, and people were being treated unfairly. While she didn't care too much about the details, she had a soft spot for people in need of help, as well as those who were unfairly punished, and decided it'd be best to take part in the action as well. The members of the guild left the guild hall in a stampede, leaving only the master, a boy who had pink hair that was asleep, and the girls in stone. Acele figured the best thing to do was go around looking for the enemies, and ran out the door.

    It would appear that there was someone else who had an orb with this, yet they were clearly against them since she summoned a bunch of creatures on the orders to destroy them. That sure didn't take long. I mean, didn't they just get here not too long ago. No matter, Renju gripped his orb and watched it turn into its bladed form. Then gripping the handle with his other hand as well, he then slash down at the first umbra that had approached him. It was cleanly cleaved in two as a nearby group of them had noticed him. Needless to say they weren't happy with yet another person cutting down their comrades so the three that had noticed him all rushed towards him. Now Renju could've done this the easy way and waited till they all were close enough for one massive swing to take them all out, but where's the fun in that. Plus he still hadn't used any of the other swords that made this massive one, it would be a same to not to use them. So first he lifted the sword up and stuck it into the ground, which was followed by one of the sword that was inside of it popping out. It was smaller than the main part of the weapon but it was good enough to swiftly take care of the three umbras that had approached him.

    Dashing forward crouched slightly, Alkes dashed towards his next foe and immediately reeled both his clenched fists back. Reaching his foe he immediately moved to the side a bit, dodging the speedy blow from the umbra and immediately sent his fist upwards with all his might. Letting out a loud grunt, Alkes sent a powerful uppercut that sent the head flying off the body which soon collapsed.

    Another attempted to attack from behind but shifting his stance, Alkes immediately turned and punched through the being's chest, causing it to collapse and perish. Alkes closed his eyes and let out a sigh before bringing up his fists once more. This fight wasn't tiresome nor was it really difficult, but it was quite tedious and they still had a major foe that they needed to deal with.

    He heard the girl named Zephine call out to Star and a guy who punched stuff. Logically it only meant him as he was the only one using his fists at moment, though the sound of being called the punching guy kind of sounded a bit like he was some kind of brute. "My names Alkes..." Alkes said dashing towards another umbra. "Five minutes in and already we're getting action, I guess this does say a lot for the future and makes you look towards it" Alkes said nonchalant. His cloth did have the power to gaze into the future, but it was a power was a myth and a power that he never figured out.

    As he continued to dash, he quickly jumped up and sent a kick to the chest of an umbra, causing it to fall into another umbra behind it and fall to the ground. Landing on the ground, Alkes immediately jumped back into the air and sent his foot down on the fallen umbra, piercing through the chest of the stacked umbra. They were past the half way point and getting close to at least dealing with the pompous woman.

    The genocide of these fire demons had continued to go underway. All in all, it was going to be the same old same old as it had been thus far. Take scythe. Spin it around a lot to just look fancy and totally too cool for school. Wish the scythe had a sniper rifle attachment. Get over not having said mod on weapon. Start carving bitches up. It was all a tried and true process and one that she didn't think was going to fail any time soon, and so when another fire umbra had charged at her, she struck low with her blade. This caused the demons legs to get lopped into, and made it stumble and fall forward. With the beast now charging past her, Zephine brought her scythe around and struck behind her, getting the demon in the chest. With it impaled, she threw the demon into the air, and used her blade to decapitate it on the way back down.

    As it would have appeared, the fourth of the five people who had come to this world had started to assist in demon hunting too. Awesome, the faster they could clear through these weird creatures the better. At that point, the guy who punched stuff, who apparently went by Alkes, had told her his thoughts on it. She thought on it for a moment, and guessed that if the first thing they were fighting was a horde of fire demons, then what followed was probably going to only get tougher and more awesome from here on out.
    "Yeah I guess so. I mean, I wonder what else that fire demon summoning chick can do." She proceeded to jump forward and strike the head of another one that was just sort of waddling around trying to fight them.

    With only two left directly near her, she spun the scythe around and drove the blade into the skull of one of them, and then spun it around, crashing the body into another one. While the one who was missing a chunk of his skull crumbled away after getting hit by the blow, the one who was just knocked into got back on its feet, only to be greeted with a face full of scythe blade. Looking over to the sword guy, she called out,
    "now now Renju. Don't be shy. You can join in on our battle banter as well."

    One moment Hunter was inside the guild, making himself comfortable on one of the seats around a table, the next he was sitting on the ground outside of the building, the look of shock evident on his face. This guild hall was truly magical. It had left him behind, presumably because he wasn't part of the guild. Or maybe it just couldn't handle his raw power, and it ran in fear. Yeah, that one seemed the most logical. But..what if it ran into other guild halls? Bigger, tougher guild halls? He could handle that, but could even he survive the force of an entire building simply appearing on top of him? The answer, of course, was yes, but then the others would know, and he wasn't about to have them find out just yet.

    As he moved out of the area the guild hall would be, he cracked his knuckles and glanced around at the fire demon spirit things that he had forgotten the name of. "Well, I suppose you need to see what a real fighter can do. A perfectly mortal, normal man that fights with the skill of ten million gods rolled into one. I'll let you know when I find one" he said, before magically equipping his orb, causing his claws to appear on his hands. "Fortunately for you, I happen to fight with the skill of sixteen million gods!" he exclaimed, rushing forward and slicing three of the demon things in half. The fourth survived, only missing a leg, but Hunter wasn't done yet. Turning to look at it, he unleashed a death gaze so fierce the creature soiled itself several times over, causing it to suffocate in its own waste.

    Galia was soon outside ready to go and figure out how to stop these insane people. Soon however she ran into another guild member that she thought should be helping with the search and destroy mission on those thunder bastards. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked as he approached her. The man had no shirt on as he walked up running his hand through his hair. "What are you fan service?" She asked as he got closer to her looking not too impressed. "Please don't tell me you think I was involved with that. Please." Galia rolled her eyes. After a few more comments back and forth between her and the man apparently known as Grey. A battle commenced.

    It started with the shirtless man throwing spears of ice at her. Galia transformed her weapon back into an orb so she could run out of the way dodging a few shots. As soon as she was in the clear she turned her orb back into a weapon and started to fire a few shots at Grey, some of which he blocked, some he didn't. It wasn't long before a full battle started with Galia's cannon being fired constantly and grey's ice magic nearly hitting her. "What the hell is this?" Galia asked as she shot a shot at Grey's feet causing him to fall back. "Got ya now."

    And just as people stopped expecting a post, Hunter decided that he couldn't simply leave it to the others to defeat the demons. If he did that, he would probably lose exp or something, and that just was not allowed. So, rushing forwards, Hunter gutted one of the fire demons. It bent over in pain before coughing up tiny fireballs, and then vanished into a puff of smoke. The warrior mage person that I have yet to think of a suitable title for then turned around and cut right through two of the fire demons, ending them instantly. Then there was one. There was always one survivor, no matter what Hunter did. RNGesus had been his long-standing enemy, and try as he might he could not overcome that, so he had to deal with it. And deal with it he did, demolishing the fire demon by punching it in its fiery jaw, then assaulting it with his other clawed hand, decapitating it and earning several style points as he did so.

    40/50 demons defeated.

    And now everyone on the battlefield was fighting finally. The only one she didn't really care for in this battle was the egotistical prick known as Hunter. The guy thought himself some sort of god. It was obvious that he was pretending that he was. She was just glad there were some that were competent enough to fight. Star slashed at an Umbra and looked over to Hunter. He was imagining killing something via a disgusting means, she knew it.

    "Shut your mouth and just fight." She was a little irritated with him to say the least.

    "Zephine, lets keep this up!" Star praised as she was doing just as much work as her. With that she sliced another two with her chakram. There was one about to hit Hunter, but she hits it. "You're welcome."

    Spinning the blade around, she lopped off one more head of the fire umbras that had been coming around. Well this was turning out to go by way faster than she had initially thought it would go. With that, there were still three more before her, though her attention was drawn away for a quick second as the final member of the team, Hunter, had busted into the fight and started going on a killing spree. He went into this sort of rage that involved using his claws to gut the poor things. Granted here she was more or less just acting as an execution range to any that got close enough. And Alkes just sort of punch the **** out of them to death. They were a pretty brutal bunch now that she thought about it.

    However, in this moment of thought, the three that had been coming towards her this whole time had managed to close the distance enough to get near Zephine without her being able to be in proper limb severing range. Well that was just no good. As one of the lumbering demons took a rather awkward claw swipe at her, she was able to just sort of back away from the attack without much threat. However, they were still coming towards her and it was still pretty awkward to fight this close range with a scythe. So she did the only logical thing which was turn it back into an orb and grabbing it. As Star called out to her, she responded with a,
    "will do, Star." With that, she then proceeded to do the next most logical thing. Throwing the orb.

    As if it were a baseball, she pitched the thing straight into the cranium of one of the demons and it was kind of stumbled back for second, as she ran over, did a fancy back flip to her orb and, while on the max height of her fancy flip, kicked the spherical object straight into the skull of the aforementioned fire umbra. The other two didn't really know what to make of this, as their comrade had crumpled away into dust. With only those two left by her, Zephine grabbed the orb, and turned it back into a scythe. Facing down one, with one behind her, Zephine quickly just spun the blade around and cleaved off both of their heads in a single go. Man this orb weapon thing was swell.

    "ORA ORA ORA!" Alkes cried out as he rapidly began punching the gut of a demon before him before punching through it's gut with a fierce punch. The sheer annoyance of somebody's voice was truly bothersome, but Alkes could only think that those that barked about themselves were only trying to overcompensate for their own worth. He chose to ignore such a voice for now and moved on towards the next demon he could see.

    Dashing forward towards the last and final umbra, Alkes quickly jumped into the air preforming a haymaker as his fist collided with the umbras face and shattered it. With their opponents completely destroyed, Alkes sighed as he lowered his fists and glance up at the fire woman "well then....what now" Alkes said calmly.

    The woman with the wings of fire looked down at the group. A smile came across her lips. "Not bad, not bad at all."

    Zephine leveled Up!
    +1 Defender +2 HP

    The girl jumped down to the group, her wings slowing her decent. She walked towards Star and bent over with a smile crossing her face. "You did well for your first fight against the Umbra. My precious children were all slain one by one by you wicked people." She turned away and gave a large sigh. "You know I told the king I could dispose that Fairy Tail guild thing for this world's orb, but it looks like they got away and some new brats appeared. No matter, I'll get that guild either way."

    Her wings extended out far and wide as she hovered above the ground. "Meet thy power and consume the flames of heaven. I am Ignis, Angel of Fire. Next time we meet, you shall be destroyed. Take them away, Knightwalker." The girl flew off.

    Behind one of the floating rocks was a woman with scarlet hair riding a dragon like creature. She said nothing and within an instant, the entire party was knocked out, including Hunter...

    A few hours went by and the group found themselves within a prison cell. The keys were placed in front of them for unknown means. Once they were able to look around, a tall blue haired girl was there, waiting outside the cell. "I'm so glad you all are okay. I'm Wendy. I'm here to help get you guys out." Wendy reached for the key and unlocked the prison door. "We have to get out of here quick though. The guards will be here soon. You're all in the Castle cellar right now."

    MISSION START!
    Work your way out of the prison and castle.
    This is a timed mission! 3 days remain!
    8 posts remaining!

    After having disposed of all the demons that the fire chick had summoned just five minutes after their arrival, things got a bit....weird. Zephine was feeling pretty on top of the world, and she was pretty sure the rest of the team was none too displeased with their own performances. However, as they awaited the next move of the fire chick she just sort of seemed to spread her giant flaming wings and introduced herself as Fujiwara no Mokou Ignis, the angel of fire. What. Zephine was kind of confused by everything, as apparently after being greeted by a magical transdimensional transporting orb that turned into a weapon based on their wielder's personality they were forced into a completely different world and had to fight an army of demons controlled by an angel. Her brain was starting to hurt, as it was trying to wrap itself around this whole situation, though, her trying to figure this out was interrupted by a woman riding a dragon- what. Things didn't get any less confusing apparently and after her appearance they were all just sort of knocked out. Zephine didn't really know what happened, but whatever it was, it had the force to knock out five people with its sheer presence. Go figure.

    As she woke up, she had found that her and her fellow comrades had apparently been locked up in a jail cell of sorts. Well that sucked. Zephine then briefly wondered if her job as an intergalactic police woman had come to an end in jail. Kind of a poetic end when one thought about it. However, as luck had it, the keys to their great escape was presented in front of them. Not really sure why the keys to their cells were there, her thoughts were interrupted as a blue haired woman had apparently been the cause for their evident escape, or something of the like. With that, the doors were now open and the gang was free to their own devices, to leave the prison and get out of the castle before the guards had found them.

    However, Zephine was still ridiculously and utterly confused by the entire situation. Walking out of the cell, she looked around and said,
    "so, Wendy was it? Um, why are you here to save us? And like, how did you get in here?" After all, they were in a castle dungeon, and Zephine didn't seem to think that those were usually easy to break into. There also the question of how long they were evidently knocked out for. The more she thought on this, the more questions seemed to pile until it was a mountain so high that you could probably climb from here to space. Shaking these thoughts off, she turned to the rest of the group and said, "in any case, if there was any doubt about who we were supposed to be stopping in this world, I think Ignis just made it perfectly clear. So let's head out gang."

    Jesse was ready to begin the fight. Gripping his orb tightly, he raced off into the town in search of his opponent. Soon enough, he was trapped in a fairly large cage of runes with another man. He was a behemoth of a man, who had white hair. He was basically a tower of solid muscle. "Oi. Looks like we're goin' at it huh?" The guy nodded, then spoke with a deep grisly voice, as one would expect from a guy like him. "Yeah. I'll win this fight, as a man!" Jesse gave a slight chuckle. "I like your attitude. What's your name?" His enemy gave him a smile with his introduction. "Elfman."

    He even had man in his name. Jeez, Jesse was starting to like this guy. It was a shame he was going to have to hand his ass to him. It was mutually understood that this was a fight between men. Not just any men, but manly men. "A man will never lose!" He called out. It seemed like he was charging up energy, when suddenly, in a bright flash, he transformed. "Beast soul!" As the name would imply, he was in fact pretty beastly. He had fur all along his arms, and horns which joined into one across his forehead. If it was possible, he seemed even more muscular than he'd been before. "That's pretty impressive. Now it's time i showed you my pride as a man!" Throwing his orb into the air, it began to glow a pale blue. In a beam of light, it came crashing down onto the ground in its full form.

    "Such a man!" Elfman was clearly impressed at his bike. Who wouldn't be? It was the epitome of masculinity. Jesse, however, didn't mount his weapon. "If we're having a fight as men, we do this right. No weapons. Just bare knuckle brawl." Elfman seemed surprised at his opponent's choice to not even use the weapon he'd summoned, but soon began to laugh. "Yer a man alright. A real man!" Seeming to take him up on the challenge, he reverted from his beast form back into a human. Chivalry was the trait of a man!

    There was only one thing left to do to set the stage as the most manly fight ever. With a finger, he touched the chest of one of the Shiva sisters. The one which formed the head of the bike. As though it had been there the whole time, a radio was built into her chest, and it started playing the music which would act as the battle music for their fight.



    With that, the most manly fight that had ever occurred was under way. Fists were flying, sweat was pouring. Elfman had the advantage in weight, but Jesse was proving to be no pushover. Guarding his face in a boxer-like manner, Jesse looked for an opening in Elfman's blows. Finally, after sidestepping a punch, Jesse brought a knee into his stomach. Elfman, however, was quick to counter. A balled fist was swung into the side of Jesse's face, knocking him back. "Take hits like a wall, give 'em like a truck. hah. I like you. You're definitely a man." Jesse ran back in, not ready to give up by a long shot.

    Elfman brought a fist into Jesse's gut, but was met by a blow of joined fists to the back of his head. A spinning kick knocked Elfman back into a stagger. Charging in, not giving his opponent any time to recover, Jesse engaged in another exchange of blows. Neither one guarding, just delivering punches to the other until a breaking point. With each fist that collided into their opponent, sweat flew off of their bodies, landing on the ground around them. They were both covered in bruises from the other's blows. It was only a matter of time until one of them dropped from exhaustion.

    Finally, the two threw a right hook at eachother. This would be the final blow. Each put all the force and energy they had left into this one punch. The actual time it took was only a moment, but it felt like it was played in slow motion. For all they knew, it could've been. And the fists collided with the cheeks of the opponent. They stood there for a moment, before finally one of them fell. Their strength was gone, in both of them, yet only one stood. Jesse held to his feet, standing as the victor. "You were the bigger man." Elfman said through his panting as he lay on the ground. Given that a victor was decided, the rune prison disappeared. A man wasn't only about his toughness. He was humble in victory. Offering out a hand, he helped elfman to his feet. "One more hit and i would've been down myself. You're one tough guy to bring down." "Hah! Maybe we should have a rematch sometime." "You can count on it."

    It wasn't long before Shinji found himself in the heat of the battle. Annoyance coursed through his veins with every antagonistic glare he was met with after the challenge. So they had to defeat the big guy with headphones, or the tiny man had to forfeit his title as the guild's master? Shinji was too empathetic, even for his own liking. It was almost apparent that, even though the boy felt utter despise of trusting others, he would yet again fight the good fight. He knew all too well how it felt to have something you loved taken away from you, and he would help this Makarov person... even if it hurt him more than anticipated.

    Clutching the orb within his palm, Shinji proceeded forward towards the guild's open doors. Passing the midget of a man on the way out, a hand gently rustled the silver spikes of the senior. No emotion given in his features, Shinji faced toward the town and headed toward the awaiting battle.
    "Don't worry 'bout your guild. I'll kick your grandson's ass before you know it."

    But that was easier said than done. As Shinji made his way out into the open, he detected the many battles corresponding in the distance. Rubble from streets launched into the air and made the presence known of enemy battle. He could hear the distant laser shots of his bratty companion, and the revving of the other's bike. It was all too chaotic at first, but he had a mission or two ahead; protect the orb, defeat the one known as Laxus, and save the guild. Once again, easier said than done as he proceeded forward into the fray...

    A cloud of dust kicked past him after sprinting down the street, detecting a presence of hostility upon the stop. A slender man came to a halt a few hundred feet in front of him, with a goofy hat to match his goofy attire. The cockiest smile resonated from the newcomer, immediately pissing Shinji off. Grip tightening around the orb, the opponent made his way forward with a statement to follow. "You're some low-life who just strolled into our guild."

    Teeth grit in response, Shinji taking a step back as he assessed the situation. So, did the remaining guild members head out before Makarov could get them all up to date with their situation? But then it struck him as nowhere near odd anymore-- Shinji was an outsider, and didn't bear the same mark as these other guild members. The stranger wasn't trying to pick a fight with him out of hatred for entering the guild... He didn't want to hurt the rest of his companions. They were fair game for the end sequence, then? Laxus would accept this random guy's challenge if he defeated Shinji?

    "I gotta do this for Levy, and I'm not fightin' anyone from the guild," the other spat in disgust as he readied himself. Sprinting stance taken, narrow eyes focused on the orb wielder. "You're history, and Jet's gonna be the one to bring you down!"

    Levy McGarden, the girl with the word magic? So this was her friend, huh? But now wasn't the time for hypothesis. Shinji had to act quick, or he was toast. Within moments, light beamed from the orb in his hand, a great weight like never before bringing Shinji's palm down. As his eyes and Jet's eyes adjusted, he took in the large blade he was gifted with; a dragon's wing, or so it resembled. Spikes of a wyvern adorned one side as the other was lined with a blade too menacing to trust. Its weight seemed to draw it towards the earth even more, causing Shinji to secure both hands on the grip. A laugh erupting from the other, position was taken once more as he readied to dart towards Shinji. "No blade like that's gonna cut through my ultimate speed!"

    But Jet was wrong. The orbs were destined for each of the chosen wielders. Each orb knew the qualities of the given holder, and each moment with the holder gave more insight to his/her mind. Shinji had already calculated the speed of the other from his sprint before, the one which took his focus off of his dart towards Laxus. Timing was just a numbers game to Shinji, and this sword was perfect for disrupting the activity ahead.

    As the dash was taken towards him, Shinji jumped to the side with blade raised high. Bringing the edge to the ground before him, earth rose lightly through the cobblestone walkway and jutted the bricking upward. The speedster, however, was moving too fast to take notice of the new obstacle created by the sword wielder. Just as soon as he took off, Jet was already somersaulting towards a fruit stand filled with assorted melons. Crashing in and taking a melon to the top-hat, victory resonated within Shinji's spirit.
    "Better look where you go next time."

    And as the Wyvern's Bane morphed back into the orb, Shinji tossed the ornament into his jacket hood and continued forward. Sight brought him toward a cathedral in the middle of town a ways away, filling itself with tension so high that Shinji felt it from the distance he was given. Something filled him with relevance towards Laxus and anyone who opposed him being in that building. Going with his gut, the sword wielder made his way toward the distant synagogue, ready to face the entity of thunder.

    -- Jet of Fairy Tail defeated.

    The tall blue haired woman looked over to Zephine. There were a lot of unanswered questions clearly. She wasn't going to mind answering since their was bound to be confusion during the events that took place. "Well, I was on my way to join Fairy Tail as soon as I saw you all get into a fight and knocked out by Erza and her squad. They sneaked up behind you and knocked you all out. I followed them back to the castle to release you guys. My reason for saving you is because you did nothing wrong, and Fairy Tail seemed more or less fond of you. I help you, you help me. You're getting me to Fairy Tail's new location."

    Star listened in to the conversation and gathered enough information on what happened. An eye for an eye was the basic conversation. She sighed and accepted it. It was only fair enough. She worked her away around the side of the jail cells, looking around there were a few guards standing watch. There was a rock on the ground, well a pebble, that Star picked up an thanks to anime logic, she was able to throw it at the guards and knock them out. She signaled the others to move forward.
