[h1]Vyper Bolt Guild Hall[/h1] Not a moment before Piper had shut the doors to the guild did they spring back open, a panicked looking run knight rushing in, quickly coming to a stop in front of the mages that were gathered there. The knight was rather frazzled looking, sweat dripping down every pore and a deep fear in his eyes, but he quickly straightened up, determined to do his duty to inform the mages of the current crisis. “My name is Lucas Dawnstar, and i have come to inform the A and S-class mages of both Vyper Bolt and Harpy’s Wing of an emergency request straight from the Magic Council itself. It has just been discovered that the Demonic soul fragments of the Demon’s Maw Guildmaster have been stolen as of last night, by an unknown culprit who was able to sneak into the Council’s Treasury Vault. That, however, is not the main issue, no matter how much I wish it so.” The rune knight took a calming breath, clearing dreading what he was about to say but knowing that it had to be said. “We have been notified of demons bearing a similar magical signature as the fragments appearing in the towns of Clover Town and . . . Cedar Town as well. Both town is currently under siege and aren’t expected to survive much longer without assistance. Clover town seems to be in especially dire straits from what few reports we’ve managed to receive. I can provide transportation to both locations for both locations and it is advised that you. . . that you head to where the danger is most prevalent. If their are not enough capable mages, then Cedar town is to be. . . is to be-” Lucas shoulders shook as he struggled to get the words out, but he couldn’t stand the leaving his home, his family, to be slaughtered by monsters, and tears came unbidden from his eyes, yet he still stood at attention, not going to let his emotions cause him fail in his duty. “Cedar Town is to be abandoned if you deem it the proper course of action, as the demon’s present in Clover town are seen to be much stronger in comparison to those in Cedar.” Using re-quip magic, Lucas brought out a strange looking vial, made from a strange golden glass and covered in miniature magic seals. “Each of you must take these with you, once the demons have been defeated or killed, the fragment will escape and try to find a new host, once that happens you need to focus your magical energy into the vials and it will draw the fragment inside, containing it safely. And don’t allow the fragment’s to touch you, for the effects are many the results are anything but positive from such contact.” Lucas, having given all of the knowledge he currently possessed, began to draw a magic circle on the floor of the guild hall with chalk. It may not have been necessary but it cut down on the cost of the magic he was to cost by a good deal, and he’d need every bit of his strength to send these ages where they decided to go. “When you are ready, take a vial from me, step in the circle and tell me of your destination.” Lucas nodded as he finished, then pulled out a crate full of vials from his re-quip space and set them on a near by table, waiting for the mages response.

Nowhere was safe, as they crept through every crevice, bust down every door, all in the search for more of meat to slaughter and consume. And watching this all from a far were two women, high in the sky on top of a winged abomination that looked like a cross between an eagle, and alligator, and a lion. “Oh, Invidia, look how they run uselessly from my children, it’s a sight that gives my motherly heart such pride. I’ve fallen in love with my babies all over again already, they make their mother oh so proud.” Spoke the taller, more mature looking woman, wearing a rather skimpy yet casual outfit. She had long brown hair, a knockout figure, and mischievous grey eyes that were looking down lovingly at her ‘children’. Beside her was a younger looking girl dressed up like a doll in the goth lolita fashion, with long black hair tied into pigtails and a rather bored expression on her face. “Wonderful Luxuria, truly, but when can I go down their. I want to cause some mayhem, kill some people, have some fun, please Luxuria, please, please ,please!” The girl begged the other woman, pulling on her sleeves as she did so. “Come on, if I wait much longer, your ‘children’ are going to clean the town up, and then what am I going to do.” “Be patient, my darling little one,” Luxuria cooed, pinching Invidia’s cheeks as she spoke, “You are going to deal with the mages that will certainly come to stop us. My babies won’t be enough to stop them, and I’ll need time and resources to make one of my big boys, time you can give me and resources my babies are currently collecting. It shouldn’t be much longer, Invidia, so just wait a bit longer okay?” Invidia slapped Luxuria’s hands away, rubbing her cheeks while glaring at the older woman. “. . . . Fine, I’ll wait, but it better be worth it. If the mages they send are complete wimps, then you’re going to owe me big time.” Luxuria only gave a smile in return before going back to watch her babies cause carnage, a frown forming on her face soon after. Bringing her hands up to her mouth she screamed, “Jeffy, stop fighting with your brother right now,do you here me. Don’t make me come down there and punish you.” The creature she was yelling at stopped trying to kill it’s sibling, looking up to Luxuria apologetically, before catching a scent down an alley. Following it, he soon came upon a frighten little girl, who looked at him in silent fear as tears streamed down her face. Jeffy smiled, rearing back and preparing to lunge, already tasting the girls blood in his mouth. [h1]Demon Attack: Cedar Town[/h1] [hider=Acedia] [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b9b6be6eb1edf3f4b6c9aa7dd4dcb93/tumblr_mjzl3wqa1t1s2ewyro1_500.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Avaritia] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/77/e5/09/77e50976e6f7deccfa9554bb12d75c71.jpg[/img] [/hider] The port town of Cedar was drowning in a sea of blood. Everywhere people were dying, either from nightmarish giant creatures, like snakes, spiders, and rodents, running through the streets and launching upon any they find, rending flesh and bone apart in a savage display before moving on to the next victim. And that wasn’t all, as their was an even greater danger lurking the streets. People would be walking, only to suddenly have their heads kicked off from out of nowhere, or find themselves with a knife lodged into their cranium, only to be savagely pulled out, splattering the streets in blood and gore. “Hahahahaha, that makes 100 to your 27, Acedia, come on, you’ve gotta pick up the pace.” A boy exclaimed cheerfully as he appeared on top of a building, looking over all the carnage with his heterochromic eyes, one red and one dark grey. “And no, your little nightmares running around don’t count as you kills.” Acedia, a depressed looking teen with long black hair and pink-colored eyes, gave his excitable partner the smallest of glances, before turning to the city, aiming at one fleeing person with his finger. “Metus” he whispered, a bolt of glowing purple energy gathering at his fingertip before rocketing off at the man, going right through his head in one clean motion and catching the person that was right behind him in the chest. Both fell to the ground dead, blood welling up from their wounds. “29, happy now, Avarita?” “What did I say about calling me that, it sounds way too girly,” the blonde boy protested vehemetly, giving the older teen a half-hearted glare,” I told you o call me Avar, or Ava, or something less girly sounding them my demon name.” “But your name’s pretty.” “I don’t want pretty, I want tough, I want cool, I want something manly sounding and dark and mysterious, not a dainty sissy name like Avaritia.” “Whatever,” Acedia sighed, looking over the carnage with a complete sense of apathy, only taking part in the killing himself when Avaritia bothered him to. “Just focus on your job and stop bugging me, okay?” “Pffft. you’re no fun. Why did I have to get paired up with you, I wanted to be paired up with Luxuria-chan. Insead she got partnered with that bitch Invidia. I’vee only known her for less than 24 hours, and I already hate her.” “You’ve known Luxuria for even less time and you’re already in love with her, no matter how hopeless the odds of her even noticing you are.” Acedia mumbled under his breath, though Avaritia still got it. “Shut up, you wouldn’t understand, we share a special bond, a string of destiny, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.” “She’s the only woman you’ve ever laid eyes on.” “I said to shut it, you know what, fine. If you want to stay up here and sulk, then please do so, I’m going to go down there and enjoying kicking you but in the murder game.” Avaritia stuck his tongue out at his partner before disappearing in a blur of movement, rejoining the bloody chaos filling the streets. Acedia sighed, wishing he had been paired with Invidia instead. Her psychotic ass would leave him alone and just go crazy on the inhabitants of the town, but Avaritia has to try and pull him into it. Why doesn’t that kid just leave him to wallow in his own misery in peace. He had enough to deal with, with his Curse slowly eating away at his sanity every second of every day, and the little blonde nuisance wasn’t helping him keep it from going with his incessant need to involve him in everything. “Stupid brat.” [h1]Surprise Demon Attack: Magnolia Town[/h1] [hider=Ira] [img]https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0277/59/1381985756744.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Ira's Mask] Without the protective netting in the eye holes and made out of metal [img]http://www.combatgearing.com/images/Products/MASK-6569.jpg[/img] [/hider] There was no terror or mayhem in the town of Magnolia, only laughter, conversation, and the usual peaceful day-to-day activities of everyday life. At the top of the hill stands the Former Guildhall of Fairy Tail, kept pristine and in top condition by the people of the town as a way of remembering the joy and happiness the guild had brought to the town, as well as the headaches that came with their wild antics. Standing in front of this historic landmark was a figure, however, was a tall, hooded figure covered head to toe in black robes. His face was hidden as well, by a black metal mask shaped like that of a skull, the only features that could be seen were his eyes. And what eyes they were, an intense shade ring of blue circling a pale dot of red, and filled with such a violent, yet cold rage that anyone he made eye contact with feel as if they were standing in front of a mighty beast that was about to devour them whole. For awhile, the mysterious man stood there, drawing stares from passers by as he gazed at the building in front of him, eyes focused on the trademarked guild seal that was emblazoned on the front, a symbol of both pride and power. Then, as if receiving a signal, he walked up to the doors of the hall, placing his hand on it, and then he began to focus. As he did, sparks of red lightning began to spark off of him, collecting most visibly around his hand. Some guards, upon seeing this, began to approach him. “Hey you,” one of them exclaimed angrily,” what the hell do you thi-” “Red Lotus.” For a split second, a hugely oppressive presence could be felt by everyone in the town, before a sudden explosion lit off in the center of town. The debris from the explosion, dyed red by the energy, spread out over the city in the shape of a lotus flower, before falling down to the earth, large pieces of stone, wood, and concrete killing people as they all stared in frightful awe of at the even. At the epicenter of the blast, there was only a smoking crater where the once great guildhall stood, anything that remained of it blown sky-high and now rained down on the populace. The man who had caused all this, just looked around silently, before walking off in a direction, ignoring all the charred corpses that surrounded him. It was only when he came upon his first living person, a woman trying to breathe life into a man with tears in her eyes, that he struck. She never saw it coming, only offered a moment of silence as the man gripped her head, before she was set aflame by a blood red fire, sending her screaming down the road, bits and pieces of her falling off, until she tripped over the railing and fell into the river. By the time that happened, the figure was already setting himself upon the towns folk, slaughtering them all with nary a word by either burning alive, or shocking him to death. All of his attacks bearing that same angry, blood red coloring. At Kuro, Xavier, and Vanu, it’s decision time! Fight back against this psychopath and protect the citizens Ignore the man and leave town, this isn’t your battle to fight Your own Decision
