[Damian]

As the scythe blade closed in on Penny, a loud shout can be heard from above the pair. "The hell you will!" Damian's hurtling form, still on the striker blade without James, who'd opted to approach from the ground and look for potential back up, intercepts the slash with one of his Hercules Blades. Pushing the scythe blade off of his own, he follows her decent to the ground before dismissing the striker blade and facing her. "So you're the blood mage that the master was talking about when she'd said she'd responded to a call for help against one." James had since entered the train station and rushed over to the area below Penny. "Your fight with my guildmate, no, my best friend, is done. Now you deal with me."

Damian's eyes had a ferocious glow in them and the blades in his hand pulsed with magic energy the likes of which he'd never used in the Alpha skill lock before. He didn't care though, because he could direct the flow of energy at a target. A target who had hurt his friend. A member of his family. He couldn't let that slide, even if the cut was negligible.

[James]

First it was bad enough that James was flying through the air on a semi-transparent sword blade towards an unknown adversary to protect a person he didn't even know yet. Then, half way to this location and adversary, Damian informs him the enemy is a Blood Wizard that is attacking the sister of Sasha, Phoenix Wing's Ice Princess, who's name was Penny and used Flame Transformation Magic. Then he also added that the Blood Mage would do their best to draw blood and at that point, he almost backed out. Almost. They had arrived at their destination, mostly and Damian had needed someone to check for potential reinforcements for the blood mage.

Jumping at the chance, James now stood below the bleeding fire mage beckoning her down closer so he could apply healing touch and stop the bleeding so that the blood mage wouldn't turn her magic against them all. [i]Talk about a crazy first mission...[/i]
