[h3]Piper Hatfield - [color=hotpink]Ms. One Shot[/color][/h3]

The young woman dived to the ground, a look of anticipation across her face. The weapon in her hand now as the same sniper rifle as before. [b]"Now I can show these guys what fear is like,"[/b] she said to herself. Piper was far in the distance from Clover town now, laying prone on a hill overlooking it. As she began to look over the city, her wicked grin began to fade. [b]"Where the fuck did they go...?"[/b] After a few seconds where she couldn't even find any of the beasts running around she realized what happened.

[b]"The little shits ran away! Cowards!"[/b] The rifle in her hand vanished as she picked herself up and took a deep breath. After crossing her arms and tapping her foot a moment, the young woman let out a shout of anger before marching violently back towards the town. It took a moment, but Piper arrived back in town and made her way to the others. [b]"You assholes couldn't distract them for one minute? The fuckers got away and we've got nothing to prove for it now,"[/b] Piper began complaining, crossing her arms over her chest and looking away from everyone. She wasn't even going to justify them with eye contact.

[h3]Hana Oshiro - [color=deeppink]The Last Samurai[/color][/h3]

The young woman relaxed out of her stance as Avar fled Cedar Town. She only tensed up again as the explosion occurred nearby, but Gwen deflected it. Hana began to look disappointed now, letting out a sigh. With a surprisingly graceful leap, she landed softly on the ground nearby the Vypers and Harpies. [b]"I am sorry,"[/b] she to them, bowing her head in respect. [b]"I let this town fall into chaos... while I was sleeping. This will bring dishonor to not only myself but Lamia Scale."[/b]

She drew the sword and went down to her knees, setting the sheathe on the ground and holding the hilt in both hands. [b]"I must pay for this,"[/b] she said rather simply, before holding her arms out and pointing the blade at herself. Specifically her midsection. [b]"I am too lazy... If I had woken up at a decent time... Those horrible people wouldn't have hurt this town."[/b] Though tears began forming in her eyes, the potentially suicidal woman actually appeared rather comical considering her state of disarray.

[h3]Ajax Thera - Council Member[/h3]

The council member came rushing back from the restroom, only to find that the mysterious person had managed to escape and caused a small explosion in the process. [b]"..."[/b] Though his expression didn't change any, anger radiated from the large man. An intense magical pressure also came from Ajax, something which would probably paralyze others in the room if it wasn't for the fact the others were also powerful men. [b]"You could've captured him, Alec..."[/b] Ajax said, but he stopped his berating with only that one sentence.

The council member closed his eyes and let out a sigh. [b]"We do need to report this. Demon's Maw, as I expected. I had thought we destroyed that Dark Guild, but yet it is haunting us now."[/b] The intense magical pressure disappeared as Ajax calmed himself. The untrained or oblivious wouldn't have even noticed he was mad in the first place, but mages would've certainly felt it. [b]"... I cannot go straight back to Era. I have several mages to initiate as Magus Hunters. That will take several days, possibly a week. But Greg... You can tell the Council on my behalf that I expect they will strike again during the ISE..."[/b]
