[h2]Samir Saron[/h2]

[color=7bcdc8][i]"You think I'll just let you melt all my ice?"[/i][/color]

Stacy was drunk... no doubt about this. And this indeed annoyed Samir a bit. It appeared as if Stacy had no shame under the influence and her moves can be considered as mildly sloppy, or so the archer thinks. No honor can come from the warrior that is drunk during a battle. The only one Samir respects is the now late Cana Alberona, one of Fairy Tail's finest warriors back in the day. At least she doesn't drink before or during a battle, unlike Stacy. 

"You have just no sense of honor do you?" the archer would say to Stacy under her breath.

But before Samir could think on anything else, the ice mage's whip shattered into pieces under her own will. It looks like the archer got her attention.

The ice mage then made a running start towards Samir, and yet due to her drunkenness, it was a very sloppy one. And this peeved Samir even more. With a sigh, the archer began to fire more volcanic arrows at Stacy, only to see that even under the influence the ice mage could still surprisingly dodge them.

[color=7bcdc8]"Stand still."[/color] she says in a drunken slurr.

And then Stacy performed a mighty axe-kick with her left-leg, trying to take down Samir and possibly break a shoulder. Yet the archer easily dodged it, as it wasn't that fast. However, the impact of Stacy's heel would cause a dusty explosion in the ground, demonstrating her strength even without ice. It would be no surprise that Samir considered the alcohol would be part of making the ice mage considerably stronger, but she wasn't very impressed. And then Stacy fell onto her butt... all dizzy from what it seems.

[color=7bcdc8]"Oops."[/color] was all she said.

"You really are quite pathetic..." Samir says once again under her breathe, "Just go home and die... get a sense of honor for once."

[color=7bcdc8]"I missed...[/color]

And then quite suddenly, Stacy formed two wolf-heads of ice formed over her fists.

[color=7bcdc8]"Ice Make: Wolf!"[/color]

But instead of rushing towards Samir, Stacy would be rushing towards Nigel! 

"Watch it Nigel, on your six." the archer alerts her partner as she fires several more volcanic arrows at Stacy, with most of them landing on the ground and explode on impact. This should hopefully make Stacy loose balance before she could get to Nigel, but with the Ice Mage under the influence, she may have a few unexpected surprises up her sleeve...

And that was when her thoughts basically said [i]"I told you so."[/i]

As she lunged towards Nigel, Stacy's shadow began seeping black substance as it began covering the ice field. Samir instantly knew that this was the work of Sage, and while she expected a surprise attack, she didn't necessarily expect what was going to happen next. And then, from above, she can see a two red eye and a wide, feral smile showing his teeth. 

"Oh god Sage," Samir breathed as she looked up, "What kind of fucked up concoction did you make up?"

But her answer was nothing more then a Row of Black randomly appearing from the black ground, and began aiming to attack the two Harpy members who were on the ground. Samir knew that if she would stay in one spot, she would surely get hit. She began to move rapidly across the field, her armor changing into a new suit and set.

[b]"Archer Requip: Crossbow Maiden!"[/b]

With a flash of light, she then wears knight-like armor and wields a powerful metal rapid-fire crossbow, lined with gold stripes and gold tipped arrows, ready to be fired at anytime. Even with such armor, it was made specifically to allow good mobility, a higher defense and keep Samir's speed and agility, all without making her slower. She would begin to fire a volley of arrows towards the thing above, trying to stop it from corrupting the whole field. And with her arrows being made of the same materials as her Angel Arrows in her Heavenly Armor set, they should do some damage. 

And then to her right, Samir finally sees Sage, pointing his unsheathed sword at Samir with his untransformed hand... before crouching low and dashing towards the archer with quite a speed. Sage would then leap towards her right side as he swings his sword at Samir, only for it to transform into a black claw, heading right towards the archer's mid-section. The blonde woman would quickly leap out of the attacks way, missing her belly by an inch! Samir could even feel the raw power rushing by her as she landed on her feet a few feet away.

Now the battle was getting even more intense! Yet Samir wouldn't take the time to dilly dally around. Gripping the trigger with all of her might, the arrow that was about to be fired glowed in a heavenly light, slightly shaking the whole crossbow.

"Crossbow Maiden: [b]Piercing Light![/b]"

And she lets go of the trigger as it rapidly fires several light-charged arrows heading straight towards Sage, which should keep him at bay for just enough time to contact Nigel.

[b]"Nigel. Come in Nigel."[/b] she says in a calm voice, [b]"Looks like the battle just got even more intense. We aren't going to get anything done until we brighten up the stage a bit. Don't you agree?[/b]
