As Sayatachi slowly walks away from the site seemingly victorious, she over hears Nolan calling her a hag from under his breath. However, she simply ignores it as the two began walking their separate paths. She had a lot worse things being said to her anyways, so just the term hag mean't nothing to her.

As she continues walking, she takes a glance at Frye's back neck, as if she was going to pull it out since it should've done the job on paralyzing him. Yet she suddenly realizes that the needle didn't even hit the target! But before she could act accordingly, something really hot touched the Rainbow Majesty's rear end. With a surprised gasp, combined with a growl of anger, she suddenly felt a hard kick crash into her back as the magically flew into the air. Surprised, Sayatachi regains her footing and looks at him with a surprisingly calm look.

[b]"I was wondering why the serum seemed to be a bit more powerful then it is..."[/b] she says with a growling hint as he looks at the man, [b]"Clever."[/b]

Frye only gave the council member a disappointed facial expression. 

[i][color=725039]”I gave you an option.”[/color][/i]

He gripped his right hand and flicked his index finger out as a few pebbles shot out from the ground near crowd, each one piercing a guard trough the chest and one through the old man that ratted out Frye. As they collapsed, chucks of earth from the ground that the pebbles appeared instantly flew towards and around the crowd of people who in seconds were encapsulated in a massive ball of earth with the excess earth and dust orbiting it. Their screams could faintly be heard as the ball of earth flew up high into the sky. With a boring expression, Frye’s quickly shot up his magic at astonishing levels compared to Nolan without stopping until he decided to instantly revert back to hiding his magic power.

Either this guy was really, REALLY drunk out of his own mind, or he was actually sober to begin with. Whatever magic he had, it too was also incredibly strong. It was like a simple drunkard from a power level of 0, to a powerful wizard of over 9000. It looked rather impressive, but none of the less it was a sight that Saya had seen too many times. It simply bored her. As she looks on, Frye simply said, [color=725039][i]”I hope you understand how serious I was when I gave you that option earlier. So don’t bother with me or else everyone there will fall and be crushed, or vice versa. And those guys that I shot aren’t completely dead yet, but will be if get in my way again.”[/i][/color]

The Council woman takes a glance at the fallen guards, the entrapped pedestrians from within the dome, and back at Frye. She still wondered how he was able to fake getting hit in the first place, but none of that mattered. She and Nolan were now forced to fight this mage while also trying to save the others. But neither knew his weakness... so how were they going to take him down without endangering the others?

Suddenly, Sayatachi hears a familiar voice in her head, this voice coming from another Council person, Grane Falo. 

[color=0054a6][i]”Listen, Nijiko! Try to restrain the man’s right hand with your magic. Make sure it doesn’t move and do the same to the rest of his body. If he wanted to, he could devastate the entire city in an instant. But his arrogance is as big as his power. So make sure you distract him, get his attention away from the civilians and only on you. Once his guard is down, tell me when your about restrain him as quickly as possible so I can try to save the civilians by teleporting them away.”[/i][/color]

Aha. Finally some info on his weakness.

Not wanting to give the attention that they were being supported with information, Sayatachi gives the signal of confirmation by putting her left hand behind her head, as if she was scratching it, and nodding. Wherever Grane may be, he should be able to recognize the signal. Regardless, Saya needs to act quickly and retrain the man as quickly as she can, along with the help of Nolan. She looks at Frye and gives out a few tsking sounds with her tongue, her finger tips preparing to fire fiber magic at the opponent.

[b]"Serious you say?"[/b] she replies to him with a chuckle, [b]"Don't make me laugh. Your magic bores me. The only thing I understand about you is that you're a simple fool! You want to crush these poor people? Hmph... You'll have to get through us first."[/b]

And with that, she slowly raises her arms out diagonally and quickly fires all of her fiber needles from her fingertips. They begin head upwards, whizzing alongside one another in a pair of five in the sky until each making a wide symmetrical turn from one another. They then sprint towards Frye's direction at an incredible speed, almost congregating back into one mass, only for them to split off again, confusing him for a bit. At that point, she looks over at Nolan and jerks her head at the opponent, signaling him to attack him as his guard was down. If they can keep this up, Sayatachi will quickly be able to trap his right hand and ultimately his entire body. They just need to distract and slightly weaken him for just a little longer before she is able to get a clear shot on him.

[color=0076a3][i]”Mmm, several months. Well, you’re not the only one that goes on long missions or take your time when you’re out on one. I’m still surprised that we were able to cross each other’s paths and meet all those years ago. I almost forgot about those stars that I would gaze at night during those long jobs.”[/i][/color] Wes replies as he takes a sip of his tea.

[color=fff200][b]"Yeah,"[/b][/color] replies Samir with a nod, [color=fff200][b]"Same with I. And it isn't really that I take my time with these missions *chuckles*, it's just that they can be so tedious at times, or simply the objective can be very mobile and hard to track."[/b][/color]

[color=0076a3][i]“We probably haven’t seen each other for awhile because I was stuck in Edolas with amnesia for about ten years. But when I returned, I found out that only a few months have passed. Since then I’ve been on my own…"[/i][/color] 

The mentioning of Edolas raised an eyebrow on the Archer's face. He was in Edolas? The alternate-dimension of Fairy Tail? She only heard legends about that place, along with the story of several Fairy Tail guild members being in there back in the day. 

[color=0076a3][i]"... Wait, did no one tell you what happened when I returned? Right, you said you were gone for several months and just got back a few days ago.”[/i][/color] 

[color=fff200]"Edolas huh?"[/color] Sammy replies with curiousity, [color=fff200]"That must've been fun, or brutal I don't know. You'll have to tell me more about it some day."[/color]

Then Michael finally spoke up.

[color=00a651][i]"I imagine t-t-that has s-s-something to do with t-the magic c-c-c-council attack, weren't you the r-r-reason why that c-c-came about?"[/i][/color] 

Wes fell silent with a disappointed expression as he didn’t like hearing about that event. [color=0076a3][i]”That is something that I’m aware about. Although I appreciate the guild caring for me, I wish Jamie didn’t bring the guild into too much danger with the future risks and problems that might occur from that course of action. The Council might have been corrupted, but by stopping them, it only puts the guild at more risk of other dangerous groups who now has their eyes and minds on the guild. Ever since what happened to my home and when I was young, I wish I could find some place to stay that felt almost like home. Eventually I found the guild, but I didn’t want to trouble them with my past, so I rarely showed up in the guild hall. But it’s because of me… it’s my fault of not being able to protect myself that the guild is probably going to be in some potential danger.”[/i][/color]

[color=0076a3][i]”Sorry about the lengthy monologue, I didn’t mean to bring everyone’s mood down.”[/i][/color]

Michael then suddenly found some strength to begin talking some more.

[color=00a651][i]"With all due respect, that is bullshit. Phoenix wing, Dragon Fang, all the main guilds, their members, we know what we are getting into. Danger is something we expect. Yes, sometimes out actions led danger to us, but it would happen anyway. 

You didn't cause it. 

The council would have had to be taken down in one way or another. I don't think Master Jamie would have let that continue, not so I think Master Jack would have allowed it to either. 

The guild is at risk, because it is always at risk. Not because they attacked the council to save you. They would have done it for every member. Each and every member had their own choice, and they chose to do it, because they wanted to try and get you back. And they knew the danger. I mean, look around you. The guilds are being attacked, by being unconnected to you, to what happened because dark guilds don't need a reason to attack light guilds. 

So what is it? Is that just an excuse? Or are you ashamed of something you have done?"[/i][/color]

Samir was silent through the whole run, only to issue a little nervous chuckle after Michael finished.

[color=fff200]"I-I think that's enough,"[/color] she says towards the young man as he tries to defuse any growing feelings amongst them, [color=fff200]"Please excuse him Wes-san. I suppose there are some strong feelings that have some aftershocks still attached you know?"[/color]

Even she didn't know if she was helping or not, simply trying to relax as she sips her own drink as well.
