LLoyd can see a few of the tentacles break right off from the monstrous abomination and smiles with glee. He was going to ravage this drone back to hell, maybe even getting some sort of card in the process too. However, before the drone could counter attack against the blonde, those brief seconds it was distracted allowed one of the wisps to pierce through the electrical wires of its cranium, literally drilling a clean hole straight through. The tentacles went limp, its systems shut down, and it fell over on the ground in a sad mechanical heap of ruin. Lloyd was indeed taken quite by surprise as he lowers his hands back to his side. What he saw next was a little girl, or so it looks to be, delicately stepping over the rubble to meet them. 

[color=fff200]"Well."[/color] Lloyd remarks dumbfoundedly, [color=fff200]"That was fast, way too fast actually."[/color]

[b][color=00FA9A]"That was sensational!"[/color][/b], the person beamed, and then it proceeded to look over wherever they may have had exposed skin to see if they were wounded. [color=00FA9A][b]"Are you both okay? Are you injured? I can try to heal you if you are."[/b][/color]

[color=fff200]"I'm alright miss."[/color] the blonde remarks as he "checks" himself for some wound of any kind, just in case.

Then from behind him, another person came crashing down like a comet, with debris flying in a dispersed manner from the extravagant impact.

[color=fff200]"Jeezus..."[/color] Lloyd says as he shields his face, [color=fff200]"No need to be a party crasher or anything!"[/color]

It seems as if this guy was injured as well, but then the girl came running up to him and hugs him. Guess they were already partners or something. It was then that the man began to walk towards them and begins to greet the two.

[color=ed1c24][b]"I'm Tadakatsu. This is Hope. Thanks for keeping him safe while I was off."[/b][/color]

Wait... HIM? That little girl is actually a HE? Lloyd has heard of traps before, but he never actually encountered one before in the flesh. What another unexpected way to start off the first years of being in the academy. However, he said nothing about it, despite really wanting too. And it was a good thing he didn't either...

Tadakatsu kept eye contact on them as he reached into his pocket, [color=ed1c24][b]"Here..."[/b][/color] and within each of his hands was a card, held downward so he couldn't see the figure or number on them. [color=ed1c24][b]"These were the last two cards on the rooftop. I won't accept no for an answer,"[/b][/color] Tadakatsu commanded fiercely. 

Lloyd was downright impressed. He and James already got two cards, one for each, on the get go by two other mages? Now these were some guys he can get along with.

[color=fff200]"Oh, uh, thanks."[/color] Lloyd replies awkwardly as he takes a card, [color=fff200]"I-It's nothing really man."[/color]

He then looks to see what James got, which happens to be The King of Wands. Ah crap. If he got the good one, Lloyd was sure that he'll get some lame-ass one. An internal growl ripples through his whole body as he turns his card quickly, while looking away. He then looks at the card slowly and finds...

[b]The King of Pentacles.[/b]

Well... fuck him sideways and call him Lloyd. This was almost too easy. He and James just got two King Cards right at the get go, with plenty of time to spare. He was erupting with glee inside, but only showing a raised eyebrow and a little smile as he looks at the two.

[color=fff200]"You guys..."[/color] he then says to Hope and Tadakatsu, [color=fff200]"Are now my best god-damn friends for LIFE!" [/color]

However, it looks like they still weren't out of the wood yet when they heard explosions in the distance. Then they heard a female voice calling out to the other contestants.

[i]"There's an enormous gunship ready to rain hell over us in the direction of the exit. I suggest yo get done soon and be ready to fight it, because I don't see any way to escape other neutralizing that threat. Anyone else that can use ranged attacks, find higher ground and help me cover the ground forces! Those who cannot, maneuver using as much cover from the buildings as you can, but the gunship is in a mostly open area, be ready for its point defense weaponry once you reach the exit!"[/i]

James suddenly noticed a bunch of ß drones coming around the corner lining up towards the quartet. [color=9966cc][b][i]"Um, guys. We might have a problem...."[/i][/b][/color]

An annoyed growl comes from the Blonde as puts the card away in his breast pocket.

[color=fff200]"Mother[b]FUCKER![/b]"[/color] he swears as he prepares his finger guns. 

It was then when he realizes that he has ranged powers via his "Hand of God". They may seems weak at first, but he thinks he can at least shoot the drones from a higher angle and take vulnerable shots at the gunship. Though this will still take a lot of damn time to defeat.

[color=fff200]"Wait,"[/color] he says, [color=fff200]"I have some ranged attacks. Let me see if I can get up to one of these buildings and begin pecking them until they get all annoyed and pissed, or like die. Keep them occupied!"[/color]

And with that, he bolts to a tall apartment-like building. As he enters the abandoned building, he then realizes he has to run up the stairs... all thirteen flights. He sighs annoyingly as he exhales loudly

[color=fff200]"Someone pay me a small loan of a million dollars once I climb up this shit."[/color] he says to himself (or the fourth-wall) as he begins to run as fast as he can up the stairs.
