[color=gold]"I spent all that I had while I was fighting on my own here,"[/color] was Tiger's reply to Reodath as she was freed of the stun, with a Health Bar so far down the red that it might as well be negative at this point. At least the wall crashing put out the flames that would have killed her for certain, so it as not a total loss.

Shaking her ample golden locks, Tiger looked around, narrowing her gaze. She was clearly searching for Blossom who had, somehow disappeared in the middle of the battlefield's chaos. [color=gold]"We gotta find Shortcake before she finishes us. Like hell I'm gonna lose to her. What da—"[/color] before Tiger could finish her statement, a thick cloud of noxious red smoke rose up, blinding the duo of Fanged Rangers.

[color=f80c3a]"Haha! Suck that green beans,"[/color] Blossom taunted as she got out of her cover, after throwing a tear gas grenade at Tiger and Reodath, meanwhile running to another cover, behind a windowsill at the second floor of a building across the street, with her Lightning Bolts ready to snipe them as soon as they stepped out of the choking smoke.

After Faust's confirmation that she couldn't find anything suspect in the nearby area, making it even more evident that hacking was involved in this bombarding issue, Argent Maiden let out a sigh, both of relief and frustration, before relaying the following message to all the Ivory Masks yet on the Blue City, [color=c0c0c0]"Good work, everyone. Thanks to all of your effort we did the first successful siege of a major guild in years. Today's objectives have been fulfilled, you are free to do as you wish until our King calls on you once again."[/color]

[color=c0c0c0]"You as well, guys, thank you. I guess we will see each other tomorrow, right? Try not to have too much fun without me!"[/color] Maiden added, to her teammates, before requesting a vehicle and going back to the White City, so that she could log out and wait for her younger sister in the real world.

Yuuno spent most of the short trip to the Council Room thinking about what was happening. In fact, she didn't held anything against any of the two boys, except that they were truly examples of brute oafs who couldn't help a girl safeguard her dignity until someone else appeared. That said, this kind of behavior was normal these days, it was nothing to be really alarmed about.

When they arrived there, the first thing Yuuno did was go in along with Maribel, [color=steelblue]"Wait here for a moment, please. Bel-sama need to change to some dry clothes,"[/color] Yuuno said to Alex before going in with the Blue King.

Once Bel was done changing, Yuuno called Alex in, setting a cup of freshly brewed tea on the Council Room's meeting table, before each of them, along with a pack of rice crackers. [color=steelblue]"Well, things seem to have gone all kinds of wrong, haven't they?"[/color] Yuuno asked, rhetorically, before continuing, [color=steelblue]"Let me tell you what I have to say first, I think it may have to do with your explanation, Bel-sama."[/color]

Yuuno didn't even touched crackers, even though she took a long gulp of her tea, before finally deciding what to say, [color=steelblue]"I'm sorry to say this, Bel-sama, but the Blue City was taken by the Ivory Masks. I did my best to defend it, but almost no one answered the call for help. I'm sorry that, because I couldn't be a better leader, we took such a loss,"[/color] she said apologetically. [color=steelblue]"Either way, that's was all that I had to say. What about you, Bel-sama and, hmm...?"[/color] Yuuno's question trailed off when she noticed that she didn't even knew he name of the boy who followed them, despite having seen him beside Maribel more than once before.

And so it was over, the sieges at both the Blue and the Red Cities were all but done as the day was coming to an end and the shadows of the night threatened to once again engulf both Deep Ground and the real world. If anyone else was still involved in any remaining skirmishes, they would be done soon either of their own choice or not, given that as soon as the night came DGO's servers were shut down temporarily, under the excuse of a 'routine maintenance'.

How much truth those words held and what would happen when DGO was rebooted were things yet to be seen. For the time being, it seemed that all but the most battle addicted players had their fill. A break would be more than welcome.
