Current "Doing your best" does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown. Its no longer your best at that point.

the bad thing about being bullied is that every time it happens it steals a little piece of who you are if it happens enough little by little you become a little less of who you were meant to be.

Meh. I can't complain. a little bored but otherwise good
Penny

@Lunarlors34
The girl seemed to be...scared, as if Penny was going to hurt her. Did she look fike she attacked people for fun? Penny blinked. Cody? Was that a new member, or just some random? She didn't know, with so many new members. Penny gave a soft sigh. The girl seemed confused, a little lost. "Are you okay? No offense, but you seem...uncertain about your own name"

Michael
@Jangel13@Silver Fox
Michael was perhaps...not use to Prince's lack of privacy, but no longer flustered by it. Mostly. He still blushed as Prince wrapped his arms around him, but didn't seem be anymore flustered then that. He decided to speak as if he wasn't wearing a catman about his shoulders, and act like normal. As normal as he was.

"still, not many people would walk away easily after using so much magic" He said, wondering if he should check on Jackie. Maybe Uriel could do something to help her, the god spirit being able to heal.

Lucas vs Soren battle part one
the final battle of the day was highly anticipated, drawing a close to the third day of the games, and following such lively and fantastic battles, the crowd clearly thought this one must be as well.

Games Master Sheldon lapped it up.

"AND it is Soren from Pirate Lord, and Lucus from Riders blade, get ready to rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Soren smiled as he was about to get his chance to battle. Before leaving he turned to Merlina and grabbed her hand absorbing some of her Phoenix Slayer magic just in case he either couldn't get close to the his opponent or couldn't use what he got for some reason. He came into the arena in his usual style of teleportation. After which he was ready to set up two Contain spheres with Phoenix fire. He was ready for his opponent to come in attacking.

Lucus smiled as he headed down to the arena and walked into it, his hands in his pockets and a calm smile on his face. He waved at the crowd and made it a point to wave to Phoenix Wing, particularly Rose and Elyse, before turning to face his opponent, who seemed more then eager to begin this fight.
"You know, if you don't relax you might end up pulling a muscle when you finally move from being so tense." He said with a laugh

Soren chuckled a little. "I have my ways. I don't suppose you can tell me which specific muscles do you? He said with a laugh as well. Soren was a chef his muscles where toned and they were no where near tense as his opponent thought. He was limber and agile as one had to be in a kitchen. "Now shall we get things started or shall we laugh and quip all day?" Soren adjusted himself accordingly to fit the person he was now up against.

"[color=gray]I wouldn't mind quipping all day. Sounds like it'd be more fun, though it might bore the audience.[/color[" Lucus said, still remaining relaxed and with his hands in his pockets. Glancing up at the sky, he watched the clouds as they passed by before letting out a sigh and looking back at Soren while rolling his shoulders. He took his right hand out of his pocket and held his arm in front of him."So I suppose we should begin. I wonder what kind of interesting things you'll show me."

Soren wasn't sure what to think of this person in front of him. He seemed to just prefer not to fight. This could be a sign that either he is just lazy or he has reached a point in his magic where he wishes to advance no further in the current state so he conserves his energy instead of frittering it away. This was not go either way. Soren wasn't ready to start attacking on the man so all he did was twist his arms and summon a contain sphere around himself. "I also look forward to our battle and see your interesting flavor in battle." Soren couldn't help putting in the cooking reference as he bowed inside his sphere to his opponent.

"'flavor of battle'? Sounds like you're either a chef or you just really like food." Lucus said, observing the sphere around his opponent. If that thing was protective by nature, it was unlikely to let his attacks through. But he could have some fun with that. Summon up a strong enough wind, launch Soren out of the arena, win by default unless Soren somehow managed to stay in. He could do that anyway, but it was dangerous to his opponent and he didn't feel like being responsible for a friendly mages death. So instead, he stayed still and waited, studying his fingernails as a way to taunt Soren with his boredom thus far.

Soren was a bit disappointed. He never started battles so he wasn't sure where to begin. He started playing out strategies in his head to see what he might be able to do against his opponent. Though he didn't know what his opponent was wielding he had several plans. He wondered if he could through his opponent off by maneuvering behind him or surprising him another way but the guys calm demeanor didn't seem like it could be shaken.

Lucus sighed. His opponent seemed so unsure, so it seemed like he was winning the mental game. However, he knew they couldn't just stand there forever, so he decided me might as well act first and try to end this thing quickly.

Raising his hand, he channeled his magic and a few seconds later, a small tornado formed around Soren. The winds weren't going to hurt Soren though, only lift him up, with Lucus aiming to throw him out of the arena.

The winds would begin at him and try and lift him up. Magic unless it wasn't damaging bent around the sphere normally but this gave soren an idea. When the time the wind was supposed to pick him off the ground and lift him he moved the sphere up with the wind and acted as if he was being pushed out of the arena until he was just about there. He used the sphere and warped back to the ground. Except this time he was behind his opponent. Soren prepared three contains with Merlina's fire in them ready to explode behind him then warped back to his side of the arena. "Don't think so sir. Wind just isn't going to do the trick. However your about the fly shy high!." In that moment he snapped his fingers and the compressed fire in the contain spheres exploded out right behind his opponent aimed right at him.

"Teleporter eh? Should be fun." Lucus said before the explosion went off. While the flames went up and around him. the winds picked up and blew them away from him. Really, if his opponent hadn't given a seconds warning before the explosion, he might have succeeded in hitting him. Sighing, he took off his jacket and glanced over it. He frowned at the singes along it's back before shaking his head and tossing it aside. He let out another sigh before suddenly looking very serious."That was my favorite jacket. You just pissed me off big time."

Wind would have been fun to play with but he had a feeling that he wouldn't get close enough to the boy to touch him. Soren readied himself and then sent out a barrage of accelerated fire contain spheres out at his opponent. Soren then warped to another spot and did it again.

"Teleportation is such a pain. Sadly predictable at least. That's a plus." Lucus said to himself as the fire sphere's approached him. He waited about two seconds before pushing all of them away with a strong gust of wind in all directions."Geez, this is gonna take a while."

Soren paused for a moment, thinking on what he could do, as it seemed that Lucas would just push his attacks away as if they were nothing. Almost testing ly, Soren once more send a blast of fire at Lucas, teleporting again, and doing it. He did this two more times from different directions, seconds behind each other.

Jamie and Jack, when Guild Masters collide.

The moment the match finished and Jackie was taken off the field, Jack was already off to find Jamie, his rage barely contained. Small black flames licked at him as he walked, and when he found the Phoenix Wing guild master, he didn't hold back. "Is that the self control you teach your guild members?! To be far too willing to put their opponents on the edge of death, or even kill them, to win?! Do you even take the TIME to teach them self restraint, Jamie? Do you even know the meaning of the word?"

The day has been long, hard and frustrating. So when Jack came up, just about shouting, Jamie stood there, her face blank. "do you wish to take a few moments to reconsider your words, Jack?" she said in a cool voice. "as I recall, there have been other battles in these games that have no involved my members that have seen characters near death. Would you be coming to me now if it was Angelo who was in jackies position? I teach them restraint.you are stepping dangerously close to ticking me off, Jack. And we both know my anger is worse then yours.

Do you even know just what my members have gone through, the last several months? Do you know what I have gone through? Do you know that I'm still dealing with a million things at once? ahouod Angelo have stood there and taken a beating? Would you have?

Oh I could say that they should have given in, br really, I wouldn't have. And neither would you. Stop pushing your unrealistic expectations onto them, when you won't follow them.

And you should know by now Jack, I do not promote killing. But perhaps you have never know Jarvis or myself well enough to know that. But I know I know all my members well enough to say they wouldn't kill unless forced. Can you say you know all yours? Did you know one of your members struggles with their identity? Have you approached them? Did you know that your Prince has participated in something that has resulted in one of my members having what could only be considered two personalities, two souls?

You need to step up your own game, worry about your own members before you worry about mine. Now, will you continue this fight or have I mollified you enough to put this to an end? I have my daughters to check on. I need to make sure Anelia is okay after the battle we had today"


Jack's flames grew larger, but his voice grew deadly calm. "I am surprised you know anything about your own members, Jamie, with all the snooping you have time to do on others. My members have never killed, unlike many of your own, besides Jackie, who I'm fully aware of her identity crisis. Angelo need not have stood there and taken a beating, but an attack with the intention of sending your opponent beyond the point of recovery is reckless. The kind of reckless I've seen you use in your own battles in the time we've known each other. The other members of your guild showed restraint in their attacks, aiming to prevent death by whatever means necessary. I did not see that from him." Jack's voice remained calm, even as his flames grew larger and the temperature rose. If she was smart, she would begin to reconsider her words right then.

"My members have a right to their privacy, though they share what they feel comfortable with with myself. Prince has alluded to KNOWING of things beyond his control. Unlike you, however, I do not feel a need to PRY my way into what my guild members don't want me involved in. As for what your guild has gone through, each and every bit has been self wrought, because you think you can step in where you feel like. Do NOT presume to try and intimidate me again, Master of Phoenix Wing, or I will remind you why I am a Wizard Saint and you will not let go of that memory so easily this time." His rage did not subside, but it remained all the same.

"You have not seen the extent of my temper, Missus Beltras. You cannot comprehend what damage I could do if I were to loose it. So do not presume to think yourself beyond my ability to knock down a few rungs. As for the state of your daughters, I am aware of the attack by the Dark Guild on your members, another unconsidered ripple of deciding you're the only people who can take out corrupt officials as high ranking as the previous Council. The danger you find yourself, your family, and your guild in is wrought by YOUR decisions and choices. Before you try to have a high fucking horse, remember that." Turing, Jack walked away, the temperature falling rapidly as well as the flames licking at his back shrinking. However, the stones around where he and Jamie had argued were a glowing red. "If you wish to continue this, you can find me later at my hotel. I am done with you and your guild for the time being." His tone left no room for argument or debate and he vanished into the crowds.

"you're right, they do have a right to their privacy and it's not like I snoop on them, but all you have to do is watch. Is listen. Which you don't do. Everything I do is to keep my members safe. I know some of them have killed. I have killed myself-but only as a last resort. I know why my members have killed. Some, because they had no choice. Others because it was all they knew. More still because they were required to. That foes not mean they aren't good people. They have it their lives on the line not just for themselves but for the people of this world.

Do not presume that my guild members got their battle styles from me. I do not fight in front of them for just that reason. Do not presume that they do not know what they are doing. Angelo attacked, yes. Angelo defended. But so did Jackie. You aren't, and neither is your guild, Perfect. No one is.

You don't like how I run my guild, fine. But do not presume that I do not train my members right: do not presume that it is just my guild, or do I need to take you to show you the recording of Anelia, when she faced Iron onions? What about Shujin, he's in your guild. Sasha is still not fully recovered from that battle. He could have killed her. And the only reason he didn't was because Sasha managed to hold her own. Barely. But did I come to you all high and mighty and complain that Shujin beat the crap out of her, in a competition?

What about Zephyrs fight with Harry of tough love? That boy still has a headache from what his masters know of. Do not presume that your guild is truly holyZ

And interestingly enough, I wasn't talking about Jackies identity issues. Do you spend time with any of your members besides a handful? You have powerful wizards in your guild, but your negligence of them will lead to their own destruction.

Do not presume that I cannot beat your arse. I can. I do not need a fancy title to be able to do that, Jack. No, you are not leaving"
Jamie snatched Jack's arm, and pulled him back before he could vanish. "you started this. I'm not done with you.

You don't get to come, to come and say I'm a crap guild master, that my members are unruly, and walk away. No, jack. You don't get to dump crap on me, and think you can get away. I've been a guild master longer then you.

What have you been doing, the last year? Nothing. You don't even know what's coming. I've been training my guild for that, and maybe if you didn't have a stick shoved so far up your arse, you might have noticed and wondered why. I don't give a damn what you think, but you are not going to take your members choice away. If they want to help me and mine, I will make sure of it. I don't expect your help, after all you don't particularly trust me it seems. But I will accept, and gladly your members help. You can either chose to fall behind, or help. Because what's coming is bigger then us, bigger then what happened 100 years ago"
Jamie was furious. Jamie was hurt. Jamie felt betrayed. But she didn't let any of that show. Perhaps just a little bit.

"I thought more of you Jack. I trusted you with just about everything. I made sure you were one of the first to know, asides from my members, who found out the same time as you, my gender. We helped you begin. We would give you everything we have. And this is how you treat me, after everything? Perhaps if you weren't blinded by love for that girl, you'd be able to see how unreasonable you are being.

I thought you were my friend: you came into our lives in such a tough time. Jarvis and I, we only had each other, after Sammy's death. You don't know how hard it is to lose a child. My guild members are, in one way or another, my children. And I would do anything for them.

Obviously you meant more to me, to us, then we meant to you.

Excuse me now, because I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend. I can't try, when you have already given up. Goodbye"
Jamie crushed a teleportation lacrima in her hands, and disappeared with a small Pop, back to the hotel, to Amelia and Sam.

Before Jamie teleported, Jack's flames rose and so did his voice, his hand shooting out and pulling the lacrima away before she can crush it. "We are not puppets in your little game, Jamie! We are people, I will not, in any way, put your excuses for the behavior of your members and say I'm sorry when all it takes is some time for each member of your guild in the week! To make sure you KNOW what they are intending to do!" Jack's voice lowered again, but his anger, rage and insult filled his voice as he spoke. "I speak to each member of my guild, spend time helping them get stronger, both in magic and as a person. As evidenced by Angelo's performance today, you have yet to teach him that there are other ways to reach your goals other than delivering a killing blow left and right. Your time as a guild master means nothing if you do not have the experience with more than a handful of people in this world. You forget that you told me what happened with Sam, with Jarvis' brother(Who's name escapes me), and what it resulted in. I do trust you Jamie, but I'm beginning to question how far ahead you are thinking."

Holding up the lacrima, he puts it back in Jamie's hand. "Do not presume that just because you have seen me fight means you have seen me at full strenght. Do not presume that I am beneath you because you have a year more experience leading a guild. We are friends Jamie, but I have my guild, my own family, to look out for as well, and it does not bode well that you simply shrug Angelo's attempt to kill my guild member off as doing what was necessary. These games are not gladiator matches, they are meant to show the public what magic can do in a safe environment. To call it controlled would be a lie, but it is safe for them. I ask you to stop, to look at your members, and ask yourself what you know about them. You clearly had no idea Angelo had a move that was DESIGNED to put an opponent on the edge of death. I know the limits of most of my members, what they intend to do when they move a certain way, I've trained with them myself. My newer members I am still learning, still getting to know. Many of them went off to do their own training, away from the guild hall, over the last two months. You are a friend, Jamie, a dear one at that, but," his eyes had grown softer, "you do not know everything, you can't prepare for every thing, and you can't protect everything. Perhaps it is best we continue this when we've both calmed down. I will be going to dinner later at a popular restaurant. You and Jarvis, and your daughters if you wish, are free to join me if you want to. I need to check on Jackie."

"Angelo will do what he wishes. I don't seek to control my members. I can ask them about their plans, but they can chose not to divulge everything. If I had been there, instead of fighting and protecting the city, something which seems you missed, I would have put a stop to it before it began. Something I thought you would have known, but obviously not. As fabulous as I am, even I cannot be in two places at once. I thought stopping the city from being buried in lava was something that needed my attention.

As for what I may or may not know, I would have thought you would know by now. I know everything. I can prepare for everything, and have been. And I will damn well try to protect everyone.

What I know about my members? I know that Damian struggles everyday with what his parents did to him, with every choice he makes, with the struggle not to kill. I know that, although she tries to hide it, Sasha struggles with literacy. I know that she is stronger then she thinks, that somewhere along the way her drawings fell into the hands of a powerful individual who will potentially save the world. I know that Angelo struggles with fearing he isn't strong enough, that he is inadequate and perhaps that's why he didn't tell me his plans. I know that Mayt once, and perhaps still does, have a crush on Sasha. I know that he doesn't think he is worthy of S class, and that he doesn't know what he can do. I know that Rose fears every waking moment and perhaps sleeping moment that she will fall again, and ruin her daughter. I know that Amaya just wants to be with her mother, but she came her on her request. I know that Lazarus struggles with the idea he can be good, he can stay in the light, that he would do anything for Sasha, that he will probably stumble a few more times before finding his feet. I know that Amelia fears she will never be happy. I know that trinity fears she will never live up to the expectations of the guild, but that she has done so over and over again. I know that penny agonizes every day over what she had to do, over the choice she had to make, to be where she is now. I now that she doesn't feel like she's worthy of love, but that, slowly, Damian is proving that she is. I know that Joshua pretends that he doesn't care, but that he does. That he wants to see that everyone becomes the best. I know that Nolan struggles with females, that he is often baffled by Karn. I know that Karn is tired, so very tired, if what life has thrown at him, but that he keeps on going, for the guild. I know that Karn is in a form of...limbo you could say. I know that...I know that Wes left because he changed, because...because I didn't trust my members. I know my members fears, their dreams.

So don't say I don't know my members, Jack. Don't ever say that. Because j know them, better then they know themselves

I don't train with them, because my magic is dangerous. I teach them, I give them advice. I do what I can. But I will never spar with them, because that would just be asking for trouble.

As for Dinner, that depends on Amelia. That depends"
and Jamie once more prepared to leave.

Jack turns to head back to the Stadium. Let me know what Miss Averyona decides. You know how to reach me." And with that, he vanishes into the crowds, bound for the stadium, thought he was still fuming slightly.

Jamie teleported back to the hotel, and leaned against the door to their rooms. She sought some stability, but didn't find any. She was angry, a terrible cold anger churning around her stomach. Jack saw wrong in what Angelo did, but did not see wrong in what Shujin had done. What Shujin would do, as Jamie had no doubt that grudge he had against Lazarus would continue to flare. Jamie had always thought of Jack as reasonable, yet the dragon Fang guild Master couldn't see fault with his own guild.

That wasn't even the point. The point was that someone she considered a friend thought she was teaching her members that killing was alright, when that went against everything Jamie believed in. The point was someone was judging her members on their past actions, like Jamie shouldn't have accepted them into the guild. Their pasts made them who they were, and people could change. You just had to want to.

The point was someone didn't think she was a good guild master. Sliding down the door, Jamie lowered her head to her knees, closing her eyes tight. Everything she did, it was for her guild, and for the best of Fiore. She would have attacked the council with or without the support of her guild, and the fact that she had had it meant more to her then anything. She would have done it, because the council needed to be taken down, corrupted and diseased like it was. If the guild had to carry around a black mark against then for that, that was something Jamie could live with, as it meant the people were safe from a corrupted council. But she didn't expect a friend to think her guild was reckless, her guild, herself, was...bad.

And that cut Jamie down to her very core.
^.^

How is everyone?
waves hello
<Snipped quote by Caits>

Not that great. My tummy hurts and im thinking to much about atuff agai. My back hurta and my head hurts because of a stupid constant leafblower.

When is Thor up for fighting? Thors bored


Day five I think I'll be getting the battles for that day out soon
So...do I post or not?
@Caits sounds like my average gaming day


it wasn't even really about a game, just...the dynamics I suppose of gaming. I was saying that people see things different and they were like but the makers state...and I'm like that's the makers opinion. LISTEN.

urg.

Just another reason I put my profile to offline most times now.

huggles
but how are you?
Penny
@Lunarlors34
Distracted as she was, Penny didn't notice someone heading towards her, until they slammed into her breasts and promptly feel onto their backside. It just seemed the day for Penny's breasts to be the victim of different types of assault. The girl seemed to get off worse for wear though.

Putting on hold, reluctantly, what she was going to do, Penny offered a hand to the girl, "I'm sorry, I was off in my own thoughts and didn't notice you. Are you alright?" She asked, "And may I ask, what you are doing in this hotel? It's a guild hotel for the duration of the games" She spoke politely, in case this girl was one of the new members penny had yet to meet. "I'm Penny, one of the S class mages of Phoenix Wing" She added, almost as an after thought.

Michael
@Jangel13@silver Fox

Michael watched the battles with interest, wincing as Jackie's battle progressed, until its end. The battles made him feel like he was way out of his league, and he decided to try his best in his training, but knew it probably never would reach that level.

After some time, he glanced about and noticed Jackie's opponent was nearby. Michael felt like the guy had gone a little bit too far, but supposed that Jackie had given her all as well. He actually found it surprising the guy was up. He hesitated, wondering if he should speak up, as if he was alright.

it was a dilemma, in one way, Michael was concerned for the guys safety and yet, he had been a guild members opponent. In the end Michael went with speaking up, deciding concern should always win over a competition. "Are you okay?"

Jane's reckoning battle

Amelia looked over at Rose and frowned.
"I'm not fighting but I'm not going to run away either. I will stay by their side. I know I lack the skill to fight myself, but I refuse to leave them while they get hurt." She said.

Alice, seeing an opening with Amelia's distraction, made several Lava-Make dogs to charge the girl. No sooner did they start moving then a loud 'SNAP' ring out and the ground between Amelia and Alice split open and sent both below the ground into the sewer below, though the ground under Amelia fell at a noticeably slower rate. The water in the sewer tunnel, which was much, much colder then it would usually be, caused the feet of the Lava Dogs to quickly turn to stone, obsidian to be exact, and they fell rather quickly, kicking up a lot of steam.

"You're not in a good place to fight now." Amelia noted.

Phlegethon meanwhile, looked over at Rose.
"If you wish to fight Miss Yashia, you may fight this man. But I will back you up, so that you don't get hurt too much." The armored spirit said.

Jamie shifted, looking down to make sure Amelia was okay, sighing softly when the girl appeared fine. Jamie supposed that that was that, and she stepped away from the girls, keeping them protected in a wind cube, fighting the time was over to merely stand and watch. "what say you Rose, shall we show the wrath of women when their children are threatened? Phelgethon, I'd much prefer if you'd watch the girls or help Amelia. Rose and I can handle a man" Jamie said, almost making a gesture that was generally considered rolling up ones sleeves. Instead, Jamie gripped her blade.

"As a spirit summoner, it is safer to stay behind those who aren't summoners like me." Rose answered gently to Amelia with a smile as she looked towards the spirit "I have been easily recognize as a S rank mage But I choose to stay A rank for my daughter...getting hurt makes me stronger but I will accept your help. However, I believe you would be better watching the children as I think Jamie is itching to fight" replied Rose to the spirit listening to Jamie's request as she nodded in agreement thinking the same thing as she looked towards the big guy as she smirked " you remind me of my father in size but he's a lot bigger and way stronger
..So you must learn your lesson."
Rose said to the bigger enemy as she backed up a few steps before she charged forward jumping into the air to be eye level with her enemy while she lifted a hand as her shadows formed a huge black hammer three times her size. "Shadow hammer!" she yelled swinging the hammer down using her momentum behind the attack as she twisted, landing on her feet only to dash forward right after her attack, sending another strike upward under the man's guard; using his stature and movement against him.

The man raised his hammer to block the attack as he was shoved back a few feet from her attack. He quickly recovered raising his hammer to attack only to get a firm strike to his torso. He dug his feet into the ground as he smirked managing to resist being taken back.

Rose moved away from her attack at a distance "He's a brick wall."she commented having her hammer retreat back in her shadows.

Phlegethon looked over at Rose and Jamie as the women approached. Sensing their want for a fight, the knight silently moved away as Rose attacked, stopping in front of Sam and Elyse, the latter of whom had her eyes closed and was obviously afraid.

Meanwhile, Joseph smiled at Rose's comment of him being a brick wall. Without saying a word, the man stomped his foot, causing the stone underneath Rose and Jamie to shot up and try and hit both women under the shin in an attempt for an easy knock out and an easier kill as a result of their defenselessness.

Down in the sewers, it was a battle of water and lava, as Alice sent wave after wave of Lava-Make constructs at Amelia, who was using her water spirit Undine to sent waves of frigid water at the constructs and turn them to stone while her earth elemental bombarded the maker mage with attacks from every angle using the stone around them.

Jamie chuckled, "Brick walls can tumble down, like anything else" she said, and with quick work, Jamie dashed towards the man. If magic wouldn't work, or rather work effectively, then Jamie would merely tire the man out.

At the attempt to knock them back, Jamie threw out her hands, property change causing a massive wind to crash down, preventing any large pieces from hitting them. And that was all the chance Jamie needed, directing the property change to slam the pieces of rock towards Hammer man.

And then she charged, darting forwards, hoping to get in with a quick injury with her blade.

Sam, seeing Elyse's distress, ,wrapped her arms around the younger girl, hugging her close. Sam herself wasn't really afraid, remembering the times before things like this had happened, watching her mother.

"Exactly...I can't stand brick walls."she replied following after Jamie as her shadow formed a few steps getting her above the giant as she reformed her huge hammer coming down at the man's head right after Jamie's attacks hoping to finish this quickly

Joseph growled as the wave of rocks hit him, raising him arms to block them. He counted Jamie's sword strike by slamming his foot on the ground and causing the earth underneath Jamie to flip around, slipping Jamie into the sewer water below just as one of Undine's waves passed by. He countered Rose's Shadow Hammer by swinging his hammer to intercept hers, grunting at the effort to keep hers in place.

Against Alice, Amelia was realizing she had made a mistake by summoning so many powerful spirits. Her magical energy was draining quickly to sustain Golem, Undine, and Phlegethon. It wasn't much longer before she completely ran out after she realized this fact and her opponent smiled with glee as Amelia fell to her knees and her spirits vanished.
"Seems like someone pushed themselves too far." Alice said before summoning a large lava-make dog, which quickly dashed towards the young girl. "Time to make you regret everything."

Amelia could do nothing but raised her arms, which the hound's jaws clamped down on, causing Amelia to let out a scream of pain. The hound quickly tossed Amelia out of the opening above them and followed after, stalking towards it's prey, intent to kill.

"And to think, everyone else is to busy to save you." Alice said, a viscious smile on her face as she got out of the sewer and waited for her hound to finish her opponent off.

"OI! Not everyone mate!" answers a voice with a cockney accent.

If Alice were to turn to her left, she would see a figure removing his hood, revealing to be the lizardman Dreadlin Nauss! After talking to Grane, he decided to head to the GMG to watch some of the games and maybe talk to the council member. However, he appeared to stumble across the fight between several mages, two good and two bad. While he was said to keep off of trouble by the other lizardman, Dreadlin couldn't let those friendly mages, Amelia and Jamie get killed by these savages. Already getting pissed off, he furiously points at the offending mages

"Pick on someone yer own size ya little tom tits! Don't make me come over and give ya'll a good scrappin'!"

Jamie twisted, slamming down onto stable ground now as she quickly adjust the environment with property change, taking out a lacrima, she threw it towards her opponent, lightening sparking as the lacrima broke. She only had a handful of lacrima on her, and wished for Jarvis.

She followed it up by slashing with her blade

"Come on big boy, Can't you do more to small me.."She said pushing against his hammer to flip back against a wall before she pushed off striking towards Joseph once more just using the momentum between her and his attacks to just make hers stronger without much effort. It has been ages since Rose actually had to fight against someone and put effort. She always tried avoiding conflict for many reasons but this moment, Elyse's and Sam's safety were first priority. If she had to venture back to her dark-self to protect the girls briefly, then that is just the way it has to be.

Alice looked over at Deadlin and was very unimpressed.
"Oh, an overgrown lizard. Shame, but you won't be saving any of these three." She said before snapping her fingers, causing two things to happen at the same time. The first was the lava-make hound snapping it jaws down to try and pierce Amelia's throat. The second, and the more obvious of the two, was the ground erupting from under Elyse and Sam as a giant lava-make serpent broke the surface and immediately went to eat the two children, getting a scream of absolute fear from Elyse.

Joseph smiled as he took Rose and Jamie's combined assault, being pushed back several feet. He then slammed his hammer down on the ground, sending shock waves through the street, causing buildings to collapse and forcing them to also begin falling towards all three of the children, endangering Elyse, Sam, and Amelia even more.

Rose watched his attack as she pushed off once again when the ground shaked and the buildings collasped"Elyse! Sam!"Called Rose landing next to them as she held up her hands "Shadow Dome...Rider... If your still here, take him down please..."She called over the crashing sounds as her bubble covered her and the two little girls as she grunted some from the weight of the buildings bearing down on her temporary dome trying to crush them as she took deep breaths to calm herself.

Dreadlin frowns when being called an overgrown lizard. Some humans these days just can't accept a lizardman like him. Hence why he and his kind live on a remote village far from these urban places. However, now was not the time to sulk. If he just stands around he'll just watch them die! Thankfully he was a superior fighter himself with some magic tricks up his scaly sleeve. He bolts towards Alice with his right arm glowing in magic power.

"Kaiju Soul: TAIL OF THE FIRE BEAST!"

And with that his tail turns into what appears to be a blade, a crude-looking one to say the least, but quite organic and still very sharp. Not to mention it was glowing red-hot with fire. And with a powerful swipe, he attempts to slice Alice with this attack, causing at least some superior knock back and burns if not slicing her in two.

Fury rose in Jamie, a rapid wave of anger, horror and fear. She spun, dancing backwards as she quickly reassessed the situation. Rose had the children. And this time, Jamie wasn't hurt. She could protect Sam, and Elyse.

"use your teleportation lacrima! Get them to safety!" she said to Rose, and Jamie once more attacked the big man, fury fueling her attacks as she leaped forward, slashing, slicing, poking and skewering in rapid movements, going faster and faster as she sought to bring the big man down, "you will not harm my children!" she hissed out, shifting every time the man sought to unstable her balance, using property change the minute the hammer hit the ground.

Joseph grunted and he blocked and dodged Jamie's assaults as best as he could, though Jamie's sword was finding it's way to hit him several times. He was relying on the hammer purely for defense now and used his feet to send projectiles or shift the ground to disrupt Jamie's series of attacks.

Alice reacted quickly to Dreadlin's attack, summoning up a large lava-make hawk which grabbed his tail and began lifting him into the air, to take the interloper out of the fight. It didn't get far before something sliced it in half as well as the hound just before it could kill Amelia off.
"You know Jamie, you're really shit at protecting your older daughter." A voice called out, from above. Lucus was hovering in the air, looking more then a little piss off. Turning towards where Rose was, he held out a hand. "Susano'o's Wrath."

Two tornados formed on either side of Rose's barrier, around the buildings, the wind picking up to the point that it began destroying the stone and causing it to collapse on either side of said barrier without falling on top of it. Once it was safe, Lucus landed in front of Rose.
"It's safe now Rosey. Well, safer." He called out.

Rose opened her eyes seeing Jamie go after Joseph "We are not Leaving you and Amelia here Jamie...We have a wonderful day planned and I an not going to spend it running away with two small girls and leaving you and Amelia alone." She said before sensing a familiar source of magic soon seeing the source "Of course, Mr. Casanova appears out of the blue...Don't call me Rosey, Its Rose, Lucus." She said letting her dome down once the rubble was removed as she checked to make sure Sam and Elyse were safe. "You two stay near the silver haired man...he will protect you. Me and Jamie has a bone to pick with the big guy." She told the girls before she stood back up looking at Lucus "Watch them real quick, this will be over." She replied darting towards Joseph forming a black scythe from her shadows before she also struck in fury at Joseph, keeping up with Jamie's owns strikes as she was ready for this to end,

Jamie hadn't been worried about Amelia, the girl had been holding her own, and she had been sure that if anything went wrong, Ellis would be there to protect Amelia as well. Jamie supposed she had misjudged things, and really didn't need to be told off by someone who had treated his own daughters mother badly.

"I take my eye of her for one minute" she spat back at Lucas, shifting once again and using property change to smooth the street once more. It was clear the continual is if that magic was beginning to wear on Jamie, but she would not stop.

Finally, she hit the hammer hand, slashing deeply enough, she hoped, to do some serious damage, following it up with a quick slash towards the throat. She risked looking away for a moment to see that Amelia was safe, feeling guilty she hadn't been able to protect her, feeling like no matter what she did, she failed as a mother.

Somehow this lava hawk was able to grip onto Dreadlin's fire sword and was able to lift him up into the air! But before it could take him any farther, something else sliced it in half, which happens to be a new challenger within their midst. With that, he was released and with Alice seemingly distracted, he heads into melee hand-to-hand combat, pausing his sword and began to rapidly punch and kick the woman with superior force and speed. With one more punch, he would push her towards a wall with enough force to perhaps make a crater. The lizardman looks up at the newcomer nods as a signal of the man's gratitude. He looks at the other opponents and growls animalistically, ready to have at them at a moment's notice.

"Daddy!" Elyse shouted, hugging her father, who picked her up and held her close while moving over to Sam and placing a hand on her head. "Your a very brave girl, you know that."

Alice, infuriated at how things where going, could do little to stop Dreadlin's onslaught and was pushed against and into the building behind her. Coughing a bit, she looked at the lizardman and growled.
"Mythic Lava-Make: Dragon!" She said as her magical energy skyrocketed. Around her, lava began forming and taking the shape of the gigantic beast, Alice laughing manically the entire time. "Now, burn them. Burn them all!"

The dragon responded in the most appropriate manner, opening it's jaw and pouring a torrent of lava onto the street.

"Well, this is gonna be bad for magic's reputation." Lucus muttered, having to censor his words around his daughter. He quickly put up a barrier of wind around himself, Sam, and Elyse, as well as Amelia.

Joseph, having taken the brunt of Rose and Jamie's assault and now being heavily injured, quickly raised the ground under him to get to the roof of a nearby building, panting as he tried to assess the situation. Alice had lost it and was as much of a threat to him as she was everyone else there. It was probably best he retreat, especially given the skills and powers of his current opponents. Grunting to himself, he turned to try and leave, done with this battle.

Jamie took out a prison lacrima as the big man tried to run, taking precise aim, she threw it at the gaint, but didn't wait to see if he was encased within, as she spun about, using property change to essentially submerge the area around the dragon in water.

She stepped back, figuring that water damage was much easier to deal with then lava damage, she continued with the property change assault, leaving the girls, and Lucas free of the onslaught, taking Rose with her.

Jamie may have been a little pale, but she stood strong, watching to see if submerging the lava worked.

Sam looked up at Lucas and blinked. "It's easy to be brave when you know things will be okay" she seemed Unphased at what was going on, as she spoke

Rose stopped her onslaught when jospeh got out of range as she attention turned to the girl as she sighed "Dragon...really...why does everyone go for the dragon look, so overused." She complained feeling a headache starting as she watched Jamie submerge the dragon with water "If I remember right, you can harden the dragon with water since water cools lava which if memory serves correct, lava is a mixture of earth and fire...or something like that...land is made by mixture of lava and water over thousands of years." She said running towards the dragon "Shadow stairway." She said as her shadow formed a few stairs in front and behind her moving in the direction she did "This way Jamie." She commented making sure Jamie could follow as stairs disappeared after each past step and reformed for each step forward as she was just going to try to make her way to the girl to end this.

Joseph was no fool and raised a wall of earth to block off persuers, which in turn blacked Jamie's lacrima

"True, lava can be cooled by water, but you know something else?" Alice said "Lava evaporates water."

What she said was evident by the huge amount of steam coming from where the water touched the dragon. The lava-make construct roared while looking towards Jamie and Rose. In a split second, it's head would snap forward and attempt to bite the two but Lucus summoned a barrier of wind between the beast and the two woman, grunting at the effort it took to keep it at bay.
"Finish it quick before it starts actually melting the town." He suggested.

As Dreadlin watches as Alice begins to evaporate the water that was fired on it. With his sword still in tact and available to use, the lizardman wastes no time as he leaps towards Alice, bouncing off her head as he lunges towards the lava dragon.

"GO TO HELL YOU BLOODY DRAGON!" he roars as he swiftly swipes his sword at the creature's neck.

Weather it would decapitate it or do nothing, Dreadlin was already cooking another ability that he's been meaning to use for awhile. His eyes, already growing a venomous yellow, begin to hint at this...

Jamie followed Rose, but as the water started to evaporate, Jamie stopped. She created another property change, bringing forth more water, as she took out one last lacrima. "if you get me as close to the girl as possible, I can use the prison lacrima" She said softly to Rose

"That won't be a issue...Do you mind flying....Hey Lucas can you make multiple tornados near the pyromaniac lady." Called Rose after hearing Jamie as she continue to move forward hoping to give Jamie many possible options to getting to Alice to finish her off

"I could but not for very long. Especially if you expect me to keep protecting the kids." Lucus said

Alice smirked from her position, finding how her opponents were struggling to be very delightful. A little bit longer and she would win this fight. But she could afford to play a bit longer. Why miss out on a chance at some fun.

Jamie gave a sigh. She gripped the lacrima, and then took a few steps, running forward. "Don't worry, I'll be fine" Well, at least she hoped so. She leaped, pleased to have judged the distance right, crashing into Alice, she twisted and slammed the lacrima against the girl, "Game over"

Alice cursed, spotting Jamie a moment too late and being unable to dodge the resulting tackle. Preparing to crush the guild leader under her dragon's foot, even if she got hurt in the process. However, before she could, she began feeling the effects of the prison lacrima and began trying to fight it off. Realizing she wouldn't be able to succeed she decided to give Jamie something to think bout before leaving.
"Hope your little guild is ready for when the real threat arrives." She said before vanishing.

Jamie landed smoothly on the ground as Alice disppeared, and looked down at the lacrima in her hand. "Which one? There's several. But we shall be prepared. We always are" She let out a breath, and then looked over at the others, grimacing at the damage to the streets, before approaching Amelia, Sam and Elyse, wishing to assure herself they were okay.

"Everyone alright?"

Lucus set Sam down, letting the girl run over to her mother is she wished while she moved over to Rose so Elyse could be with both her parents and calm down a little faster.

Amelia stirred and sat up, groaning as she held her head. She looked exhausted and simply stayed where she was, too tired to even move right now.

Jamie gave Sam a hug, before approaching Amelia, as she hadn't responded, crouching by the girl when she got to her. With barely a grunt of Effort, Jamie scooped Amelia up into her arms. "You did well. I'm sorry, I should have helped you"

"Not your fault... I was too weak." Amelia said, resting her head against Jamie. She smelled slightly of sewer and her shirt was a bit singed but otherwise the young girl seemed to be unharmed.

"You are not weak. If I thought you were, I wouldn't have let you leave my sight." Jamie said, as she rose, intending to go back to the hotel so they could all clean up

Rose walked down to the ground from where she stood once Jamie had finished off the nut case that wanted to attack them out of the blue. She dusted off her dress before seeing lucas approach her as she smiled accepting elyse before hugging him and giving him a quick peak on the cheek. "Always like the wind, always popping up when help is needed...Thanks for helping us, we really didn't need it. Me and Jamie would have been fine defeating those two but I am happy you were near by to assist...just like the old times." She said to Lucas as she hugged Elyse. "Are you alright? Mommy, Daddy, and Jamie made the bad people go away."

"If I wasn't here, little Amelia might be dead though." Lucus said as Elyse hugged her mother with a virtual deathgrip and began crying, her fear finally catching up to her.

"But I wasn't able to finish off my opponent. You and Miss Rose had to do that." Amelia mumbled.

"You might be right but I am sure even if she did not have the strength to summon a spirit, I am sure, her mother would have formed to protect her...those spirits are truely amazing things and how well she can summon and actually have them help...sometimes even I would feel scared to fight her if she was ticked.."Said rose holding elyse close letting her let her fear out as she watched jamie and Amelia.

Jamie stiffened as Lucas spoke. She let out a breath in a slow hiss, "might being the operative word." She looked back down at Amelia, "Yes, that's so. But we really didn't do much more the finish her off. And the fact is, we have had more time to gather power and to know how to use it. the fact that you withheld so long, survived, and did enough damage to hold her down, shows just how strong you are."

"Why do you have to make my mother feel bad?" Sam asked, looking up at Lucas, her eyes narrowed as if she wasn't 3 and a half feet tall, and could kick butt.

"I'm not trying to make your mother feel sad Sammy. I just state things based off what I see and hear. And in this case, your sister was nearly killed because she was out of magical energy and your mother's concentration was elsewhere at the time. I'm not lying, simply pointing out how things were." Lucus said.

Amelia simply groaned as she closed her eyes again, still exhausted and feeling like she had just ran a giant marathon.

"Just be nice Lucus...Jamie is only one person. Even you couldn't do all she does so be nice to my guild master." she said.

"She doesn't just worry about her children, but others as well! And she had to worry about rose too! You weren't here throughout the whole thing, so don't just assume! Don't make a judgement when you don't know everything!" Sam replied in an angry tone, before trotting of after Jamie, looking up as if to assure herself that Amelia was okay.

Lucus sighed, seeing that both Jamie and Sam were determined to paint him as a villain somehow. Seriously, that woman could hold a grudge and probably pursue it after the person was dead. Turning back to Rose, he shrugged and looked around.
"I will not deny she us extraordinarily talented, but she isn't flawless either. That just makes it harder for her when she screws up." He said
screams internally

OMG I just spent an hour arguing with someone online.

Because they thought they were right but everything they said just proved they were wrong

sighs
