[hr]

The sudden arrival of Zenith, with Akemi in tow, got Tone's attention immediately. [color=aquamarine]"Hey man, I was just walking here,"[/color] he defended himself, opening his hands from his fists to put up a defensive posture. [color=aquamarine]"Then this guy started it."[/color] The other mage grimaced, only sparing Zen a single glance. [color=lightsalmon]"Sorry but your friend Tone here just hit me in the face. My nose might even be broken! That is unforgivable!"[/color] With no further regards to the interruption he threw the fireball at Tone, the fire suddenly growing into a massive torrent that washed over Tone entirely in an instant. [color=lightsalmon]"Danse Inferno!"[/color]

There were several gasps from the crowd and many stepped even further back to avoid the wave of flames that had engulfed Tone, but the fire didn't spread any farther. Instead the inferno began shrinking, quickly catching the attention and confusion of the mage that cast the spell. [color=lightsalmon]"What!?"[/color] As the fire continued diminishing it soon became apparent what was happening. From within the depths of the flames everyone could now see Tone inhaling the fire around him like a vacuum. The mage was dumbfounded and just watched in awe as the flames were entirely consumed, leaving only singed marks on Tone's clothes as the only sign they were ever even there. Tone himself was completely, surprisingly, unharmed. [color=aquamarine]"Look, now he's setting me on fire and stuff. He has it coming to him,"[/color] Tone complained to Zen, motioning towards the mage. [color=aquamarine]"Meteor Dragon's..."[/color] Tone dropped into a combat stance, not unlike one taken in karate, drawing his right hand back at his midsection and tightening his fist. [color=lightsalmon]"Wait, hold on!"[/color] The fire mage was already sweating in fear, taking a single step back as he brought his arms up in a defensive stance.

[color=aquamarine]"Crashing Fist!"[/color] Jets of blue flames erupted from Tone's arms and legs, propelling him forward in the blink of an eye. The intensely focused flames made a pitched "scream" almost as he flew through the air just a few inches off the ground towards his target. And just as he reached striking distance the flame propelling his right arm increased in intensity and his fist blasted upwards in an uppercut, creating a resounding boom for everyone to hear as his fist broke the speed of sound. But despite the incredible speed in his almost instant gap close and attack, Tone's powerful uppercut only hit air. As he came to a halt and the flames on his body vanished, Tone looked down to see the mage was on his back on the ground unharmed. [color=aquamarine][i]How did he...[/i][/color] [color=orangered]"Greetings."[/color] Standing next to the fallen mage was a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/de/aa/f6deaa8dc9e22e0e6bdff824f2b4c023.jpg]young man[/url] with blonde hair and glasses. [color=orangered]"My apologies for intervening but I realized your attack might have done considerable damage to my comrade."[/color]

[color=aquamarine]"Ah, so you want a piece too?"[/color] Tone suggested, putting his fists back up in another stance. [color=orangered]"Negative. You seem to have misunderstood me. I do not wish to fight you either, but we at Blue Pegasus pride ourselves on our fashion and our beauty. Had your attack connected you may have damaged some expensive clothing or caused scarring that would damage our reputation with our clients."[/color] At this point Tone was confused and his stance dropped slightly. He looked over to Zen, hoping perhaps that his guildmate might understand what was going on better than he did. [color=aquamarine]"Uh... Alright then?"[/color] The newcomer reached down and held out a hand, helping his comrade back up to his feet. [color=lightsalmon]"Sorry, Jimmy. He hit me right in the nose."[/color] [color=orangered]"It looks bad, but I don't think it's broken. We don't need to fight today."[/color] As the two began conversing Tone couldn't help but take a few steps away from the weird mages and stand next to Zen. [color=aquamarine]"Do I just let them go?"[/color] he whispered to Zen, still unsure of whether he was still in a fight or not. He had a feeling the fight was over but it was so strange that he couldn't be certain.

[color=aquamarine][i]And that guy must be insanely fast,[/i][/color] he thought, keeping his eyes on Jimmy. [color=aquamarine][i]He knocked the other guy out of the way in a split-second. I didn't even see him.[/i][/color] After the two Blue Pegasus mages finished their conversation the elder one turned back to Tone and Zen one last time. [color=orangered]"My sincere apologies for this event. Even for a guild that prides itself on its manners we, too, are imperfect beings and make mistakes from time to time."[/color] [color=aquamarine]"Hell of a mistake."[/color] [color=orangered]"And it will not happen again. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your day, sir."[/color] The two Blue Pegasus mages made their way back into the crowd, which itself soon began dispersing and going about its business like normal. After a moment of silence Tone looked over to Zen and Akemi. [color=aquamarine]"Well anyways, I was looking for you earlier Zen but I decided to take a walk first,"[/color] he began, completely casual as if the fight that just broke out never even happened. [color=aquamarine]"I been thinking and if I'm ever gonna stand a chance at getting my brother back then I need to be duking it out with strong people to train rather than taking mellow jobs with little action. You wanna go a round sometime? Akemi can join in too, I wouldn't mind. The worse odds the better."[/color]
