James waited until Artemis had launched her arrow, spinning out of the way of the first three while bringing his sword up to cleave through them. The next three, two hit his shield, the last his armor once more, dissipated by the shield he'd cast over himself and Artemis. Coming back around, he knew the perfect way to get around the Negate. [color=Navy]"Flash of Light!"[/color] Even though the light was incredibly bright, the only one visibly affected by it was Spirit, who hadn't gotten his shield up in time.

Closing the distance once more, James slid his sword inside the shield and forced it away from Spirit's body before charging his shield with Holy Energy once more. [color=Navy]"Shield Bash!"[/color] This time the blow found it's way home and knocked Spirit away and stunned him just long enough for James to get his shield prepped. [color=Navy]"Blessed Shield!"[/color] The shield took on a shine unlike with the bash and was propelled towards Spirit. By now the blinding effect would have worn off and it was up to him to figure out how best to dodge the projectile shield.

Jack chuckled at Jackie's question and sat down next to her before doing perhaps the second greatest kindness anyone ever had, and that was give her a hug. [color=Turquoise]"First you stop being so worried about growing strong the wrong way."[/color] He let her go and held her at arms length, his eyes meeting hers. [color=Turquoise]"We are your family now, and this guild hall your home. You will grow stronger without becoming what you used to be. I promise you that as your friend and guild master."[/color] Hearing Zev call out, then Shujin, he sighs and turns to face the pair, addressing Zev first.

[color=Turquoise]"If I had to choose a guild that would cause us the most trouble, it would be Phoenix Wing. They're one of the largest and strongest guilds in Fiore, if not the strongest despite the games. I understand they'll be putting in two teams and I almost guarantee they will be throwing Damian Gerard, if not all three of their S Class, at us."[/color] A few of the other guild members starting talking amongst themselves at the mention of the Blade of Phoenix Wing. Letting that hang out there, Jac then addressed Shujin.

[color=Turquoise]"Her knowledge of offensive techniques far surpasses your own, Shujin. No, her issue now lies in her defense."[/color]

Damian had been a bit surprised at the loss of ground beneath his feet so suddenly. Still, he managed to recover well enough, landing at a roll and coming up at his opponent with a swift uppercut. This was blocked by what appeared to be-[color=FireBric][i]Part of a pair of scissors? OK then, this just got a lot more interesting.[/i][/color] Flipping away from his opponent, he noticed several pieces of ground disappear like what had happened to form the crater and looked at the mage he was facing quizzically. Could she do that to him? He hoped not, that would suck royally. Pivoting, he unleashes a Six Point strike, the blades coming at her from six different directions, and then used Blade Rain, hoping to pin her so he could really get on the offensive.
