"[color=f26522]Bast, Nephele. You've got Talia, right?[/color]" Bart went over to the aforementioned who were tending to Talia's wound. Then he addressed the Cyclops. "[color=f26522]Talia. Thanks.[/color]"

"[color=lavender]Yeah... Don't mention it...[/color]" Talia muttered for a reply.

"[color=f26522]Freyr! Are you okay?[/color]" Bart inquired about the Viera. "[color=f26522]If you are, can you help out Bast or Nephele? Or you can come outside and help me secure the area.[/color]" He told [u]Freyr[/u]. "[color=f26522]But if you really can't, don't push yourself, okay?[/color]" Bart then left and out of the newly-made hole on The Guild's entrance.

"[color=lavender]I hope you know what you're doing...[/color]" Talia remarked to [u]Bast[/u] who was assisted by [u]Nephele.[/u]

The leader was undeterred when [u]Titanica[/u] showed her back to him, holding Haley closer. It was only when [u]Ditzy's[/u] flying sandbag hit him on the knee did he err. "[color=007236]Ack![/color]" The sudden pain made him shoot his gun but it was fortunately not aimed on Haley's head. In a moment, [u]Titanica[/u] has seized the rebel leader's neck who had fallen unconscious from the pain.

"[color=royalblue]Aaaaahhh![/color]" The Harpy screamed as she put her wings on her ringing ears. She was snatched away by [u]Magnus[/u] but she did not pay attention too much to that. Her pained ears demanded almost all of her attention.

[quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"Y-You alright?"[/b][/color][/quote]

Haley saw [u]Magnus[/u] talk. She only saw and nothing else. "[color=royalblue]W-What?! I can't hear you![/color]" She yelled at [u]Magnus[/u]. She could not even hear her own voice.

Meanwhile, [u]Eilidh[/u] had approached [u]Titanica[/u] and suggested that they throw the intruder leader in the guild's cells. "[color=f26522]We don't have cells, Eilidh.[/color]" A familiar voice corrected her. Bart emerged from the hole in the guild building that [u]Titanica[/u] created. "[color=f26522]We either kill him. Or let him go.[/color]" Bart continued. "[color=f26522]We don't have anywhere to put him in. Not even anywhere temporary to turn him in tomorrow. We either kill him, or let him go. It's one or the other.[/color]

"I'd say we let him go. He knows our strength now so he'll probably not come back." Neil approached and entered the conversation. He looked exhausted despite not doing anything. "Then again, that could end up backfiring. Who is he and his gang anyway? Raiders? We're not that famous to be targeted, are we?"

"[color=f26522]No. I don't think they're raiders.[/color]" Bart replied. "[color=f26522]I think they're hitmen.[/color]"

"Hitmen?" Neil repeated. "What?"

"[color=f26522]I... kind of messed with a con operation in Ambran.[/color]" Bart began to explain. "[color=f26522]I was going to buy supplies but my friend discovered I was being scammed. A... little hustle broke out and I got away. They... probably wanted some payback.[/color]"

Neil was in disbelief. "Bro, really?"

"[color=f26522]Hey, you can't fault me for it.[/color]" Bart defended himself. "[color=f26522]Am I supposed to just get conned?[/color]"

"Alright, alright. I understand." Neil put a hand up before an argument ensues. "Anyway, what're we going to do to the guy? Whatever our decision is, we need to make it quick. I already feel raindrops on me."

"[color=f26522]Oh and before I forget...[/color]" Bart had more to say, gazing at the hole on the building. "[color=f26522]May I know who was the fine man or woman who created this lovely hole in our Guild?[/color]"

The knight squadron offered to help bury the dead old woman, saving the guild time. Once the business was done, the guild members all went back to the guild. The dark clouds have completely rolled in, blocking moonlight and starlight. It did not take long for the rain to come. Unfortunately, it had come before the Guild members could make it back.

By the time they reached the headquarters, they were likely drenched from the downpour. An annoying situation to be sure but they then saw a huge hole where there was once the Guild's entrance. Peering inside, they would see sitting on a stool and half-asleep although he jolted awake when he saw them.

"O-Oh, hey guys!" Neil greeted. "Welcome back. You guys were pretty late, you know? You missed an entire fight that blew a hole in the guild. As you can see." He motioned at the hole. "What happened to you anyway? You know what? Never mind that. You all must be tired and freezing. You all should probably change clothes for now. A bath too if you'd like." Neil advised the girls. "The rest of the guild are asleep by the way."
