The paladin was preparing to point the pair back along the path that he and Cody had come along in their tracking when they duo broke into an argument, along with the younger one slinging questions and requests out a surprising pace. Before James could offer any form of answer, the older of the pair spoke up and tried to silence him and get a way out. [color=SteelBlue]"There's a pa-"[/color] Once again the younger man spoke up, making it nearly impossible for him to get a word in edgewise.

The pair argued briefly, most of which the Paladin couldn't follow, before the older wizard requested that the pair be allowed to accompany them. [color=SteelBlue]"Hmmmm...."[/color] On the one hand, he didn't know anything about this pair other than what they've shared, which wasn't enough to build a strong trust on, if it was even true. But on the others, James had concerns that this group of gangs was being led by an A list Dark Guild with S-Class wizards that he would be hard pressed to beat even with Cody's help. After a moment of debate, he sighs. [color=SteelBlue]"With no offense meant, I don't entirely trust you, either of you, but we can't afford to turn down the offer of help for reasons of numbers advantage in favor of the gangs. So you may accompany us, but be aware that the slightest hint of treachery and you won't have time to say good bye."[/color]

Hunter stared, not in fear or disbelief, well, maybe a little in disbelief, but mostly in determination. Timelord's magic and Long Coat Guy's cheap tricks wouldn't work, not on a being like a dragon, or at least not for long. So instead of running after the others, he inhaled a lot of breath into his lungs and began to prepare. It was just long enough for the group to begin moving away when Timelord's spell failed, the air around the monster seeming to shatter as it was returned to it's proper time in space time, and it roared off the spells that Ferrin had conjured to try and get them time to escape, the pure magic energy in that alone incredible. And it was in that moment the Jade Dragon Slayer struck, clasping his hands into a vaguely trumpet shape.

[color=DarkGreen]"Jade Dragon's Roar!"[/color] The particalized stone impacted the red dragon with an explosion, drawing it's attention from the large group of wizards retreating away from it. [color=DarkGreen]"I'm a Dragon Slayer, damn it! Don't tell me to run when this is what we exist for!"[/color] Hurtling himself forwards, his hand encased in his element, he delivered a blow to the dragon's snout, actually stumbling it. [color=DarkGreen]"I'll buy you time! Get out of here!"[/color] Meanwhile, Penny and Jasmine would notice that the grey dragon they'd spotted was more moving in a specific direction than chasing them, which meant they just happened to be in it's path. Just where was it going though?
