You have an admirable devotion to your station”, Tegonay replied to Jessi, “to honor such resolve, there’s no choice for me but to take out the kid gloves. Arondight, awake and pulverize!” As Tegonay called forth the name of his tome, the whole colosseum went silent as an earthquake hit the bloody arena, pillars shattered, tiles broke and the very ground which they stood began to cave in. People began to panic, as the Black Knight began his charge at Jessi, bringing down a sword as heavy as the mountains while a pillar of rock rose behind the spearman, to block his most viable escape route. “While your qualities are admirable, there’s only one truth in this world, and it’s power. Those who wield overwhelming power are at a whole different level than those who think they can win by determination alone. Now, Knight, taste the true meaning of POWER!” Tegonay blared as once again the soil seemed to burst under his feet launching him into the air to crash down upon Jessi with an overhead smash.

How many times do you think people tried to stab me in the back before?” Vassagus mocked Letty’s counter, before blocking her icy lance with the flaming shield he had prepared beforehand. “You may have the skills, but you lack the experience and tactics to beat a men whose life was fighting from the moment of his birth.” Vassagus said as he suddenly dropped his center of gravity, falling under Letty’s field of vision in the blink of an eye and using his hand as a fulcrum for a spinning kick, aiming not to hurt, but to throw Letty off balance. Following that, either his maneuver succeeding or not, the Mercenary Sorcerer used the left over momentum to spring backwards, drawing another magic glyph in the air with his fingers. “Flame of the underworld, I call upon thee. IZUNA!” Upon Vassagus command, a wreath of pale blue fire balls appeared on his back, nine in total. Izuna, the mystic flames of the legendary kitsune. Vassagus caught one in each hand and flung them toward Letty, for the time being ignoring as the world literally crumbled around them. However, "Ghh! What the!?" Vassagus fell to his knee just as Fei's magic clouded his mind, rapid processing calculations and innate knowledge of magic crumbling under the surprise mental assault. To the Mercenary Sorcerer it was a rather brutal attack. It was just a matter of time before Vassagus could analyze, process and counter Fei's mental interference, but for the time being he was mostly open to attacks, except maybe for the uncontrolled flames of his Izuna spell spinning in wild ellipses around him.

When Chen complained about Mikoto’s demonstration of camaraderie, the peddler replied, [color=fff200]“Aw~ You hurt me Chenny-boy, you’re just like those people who think I’d rob their underpants if they get close to me. Anyway, I’m waiting to meet this Librarian pal of yours.”[/color] A few minutes later… Mikoto was lazily walking behind her two companions, her broom securely perched on her shoulder and her backpack firmly strapped to her back, whistling away a merry [url=https://youtu.be/qZKFCZh06VM]tune[/url]… merrily. When she noticed the strange apprehension of her subordinates, the Peddler Witch stopped in her tracks and asked. [color=fff200]“Hey, what’s up with you two? Any potential customers that you may be spotting, Ruxy?”[/color] Mikoto asked, twirling broom around, ready to beat a hasty retreat, just in case it was another one of those pesky debit collectors.

It seemed to be a section of it, so there was the chance of the others having surviving on the other parts of the dismantled ship. Anyway, they needed to help the one at hand, before moving to search for extra survivors. [color=f26522]“Right, we’re going to try to take you out, don’t move!”[/color] Sienna yelled before just shooting a glance at Linea, who replied with a silent nod. [color=f26522]“3... 2… 1… Freeze’em!”[/color] Suddenly the section of the ship where Alex was stuck began to freeze and crack under its own weight, a second later a huge metallic gauntlet was gripping Alex safely, protecting him from the debris. If he dared to look, Alex would see that an iron golem had him firmly secured in his grasp, placing him beside the Aquarian Twins just as the ship debris crumbled to frozen hunks of steel. [color=f26522]“Are you ok, Alex? If you are feeling bad, we can leave you in a safer place while we look for the others.” [/color]Sienna asked, while Linea just nodded, saying, [color=00a99d]“Indeed, it’s as Oneesama said, Alex.”[/color] A moment later, the Twins foxy ears perked as they noticed the voice calling everyone’s names. [color=00a99d]“It must be that girl who helped us, Oneesama. But how can she know our names?”[/color] Linea mused about how they should proceed. [color=f26522]“Heh, we have no choice but go there and ask’er, Linea. You take care of here, Alex, we‘ll be back in no time.”[/color] And so the Aquarian Sisters set out to find who was calling them with their foxy ears and eyes ready to locate and any on coming trouble.
