"You know what the worst part about walking through the woods is?" Ixpellia asked as they finally found a path and started to follow it. "The ticks." She grabbed at her neck and pulled a black insect from her skin before throwing it away. "Disgusting things."
"You're telling me." Nove scratched at her arm, feeling ticks that may or may not have been there. "Well, at least we're on a path now."
"Yes, and there's only a one in twenty chance that this leads to a dead end." Uno rolled her eyes as Nove glared at her. "Oh, knock it off, unless you want to deal with the Doctor..."
"Uno!" Jail popped up and caused the hologram of Uno to nearly fall over. "I can't believe this! After all that I've done, the Bureau can't come up with more crazy ideas to fight against Mazoku? I mean, really, Shine Swords? Come on! At least make it interesting! And what's this about five light weapons? There's only data on four of them! What about the fifth one?"
"That one's never been studied." Nove sighed as Jail looked at her in shock. "The owner won't let it get scanned at all." She ignored the way that Jail scoffed at her. "Even if the Bureau wanted the weapon, you have to ask yourself, what's the point of trying to piss off a woman who can turn all of Mid-Childa into a wasteland in under a minute with just her magic, not including that weapon, which is apparently just as powerful as she is by itself." Nove didn't know all the details surrounding Galveira, other than it was so powerful that Lina wouldn't let anyone from the Bureau have it. Considering that those talismans that Teana had to boost her power were originally Lina's, it made Nove wonder just how powerful that bow really was.
Vivio looked back at Nove. "Grandma once told me that at its weakest, the bow she has could kill a Dragon in one shot, as well as everything in a three mile radius." She blinked as everyone but Arashi stared at her stupidly. "...What?"
"You have no idea how hard it is to one shot a fully grown Dragon with any sort of magic, do you?" Uno rubbed her forehead to ward off a headache, despite the fact she was a holographic program and couldn't feel such a thing anymore. "It would take a S class mage with a heavy bombardment spell to do such a thing. And even that usually only knocks a fully grown Dragon out. You're telling me that your grandmother could kill a Dragon?"
"Mom told me that she once made an entire group of Dragons run away crying just because they heard her name." Arashi smiled as he spoke up. "But, that bow... Oh yeah! She cleared an entire street of those zombies that Mazoku summoned up when Subaru found Ixy."
"It's Ixpellia." The young redhead muttered automatically as she thought about what Vivio and Arashi were casually discussing. "Vivio, your family is nuts."
Vivio just looked at Arashi, who shrugged back at her.
(---)
"Finally..." Einhart said as they cleared the trees and saw open grass again. "Now what?"
Nove scratched the side of her head as she looked around. "...I guess we keep following the path. I have no idea where anything is."
The younger silver-green haired girl sighed and continued on, still in her adult mode in case something bad happened. She looked at Corona, who had been silent since last night and walked over to her friend. "Corona..." She raised a hand and could only shake her head in dismay as Corona started walking faster to get away from her. "...You need to talk..." Einhart stopped as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Nove?"
Nove shook her head. "What she needs is a chance to let it out, but we haven't had a chance to sit down and let her vent."
"It's going to eat at her." Uno spoke up as she looked at the young girl. "It's better to get her frustration out before she does something stupid at a wrong moment." She sighed softly as no one answered her. "You know, despite everything else, this is boring, and since I can't actually feel the air, I'm going to go dormant. You too." Uno grabbed the Jail hologram by the ear and pulled on him as they both disappeared.
"I suddenly have a lot more respect for Yuuno." Nove muttered to herself. Having to deal with a device that didn't know how to shut up was... Interesting at least.
(----)
"Well, well..." A female voice chuckled as three creatures looked on at the group. "Seems that we were right to come this way."
"Shall we contact the others?" A raspy voice spoke up and the first one snapped at it.
"Are you crazy? That prize will be ours if we take them out. We just have to deal with that one." The creature indicated Nove, who was starting to look from side to side as she followed the group. "The others can't really hurt us like she can."
"Then again..." The raspy voice spoke up. "All she could do was hurt us, she couldn't kill us."
"It would still be an annoyance I don't want to deal with."
"Aren't we supposed to bring her back to master Gram alive?"
The first voice was silent for several moments, before letting out a stream of swear words that had the other two sweat-dropping heavily. "Okay, new plan, we only mostly kill them!"
"Sounds good to me." The second voice spoke up and shifted slightly. "So..."
"There's a person with a large sword coming this way." The third being in their group spoke up. "Something..."
"A swordsman?" The female voice laughed at the third voice. "Surely you're worried over nothing. After what master Gram gave us, we'll have no problem dealing with this rabble. Let's go!"
"Fine." The second voice said as the trio disappeared from view.
(---)
"Corona!" Vivio ran ahead to catch up to her friend. "Come on, don't get too far ahead of us."
"I... I just want to go home." Corona said in a very soft voice. "I'm not like you or Rio, I'm a normal magic user. I don't have a strong bloodline to draw from, I'm not a cyborg, I don't even like fighting, I'm just..." When Vivio put a hand on her shoulder, Corona spun around and glared at her friend with tears forming in her eyes. "Why? Why Rio? What did she do that was so horrible that she needed to die?" Corona shuddered as her eyes screwed shut and she looked down and away. "I'm not like any of you. I don't have any desire to be really strong, why couldn't this happen to me? At least then..."
"Knock it off!" Vivio grabbed Corona's shoulders, worry in her eyes. "Come on, Corona, don't talk like that. Please. I hate it too..." Vivio knelt down to look Corona right in the eyes, since she, like Einhart, had decided staying in their adult modes would be most useful until they could finally get to some place safe. "Rio was my friend too, I hate that she... I hate it..."
"Why?" Corona trembled, why did Rio have to die? What did she do? That was all that was running through the young girl's head at that moment.
"Gahahahahahaha!" Corona and Vivio were both startled as a female laughter filled the area. Looking around, they didn't see anything for a moment, but both of them noticed that clouds had started to cover the sky and darken the sun.
"Vivio!" Arashi called out as he saw them. "Above!" He, Nove, Einhart and Ixpellia quickly got to Vivio and Corona's sides as they looked at who was coming down.
Looking up, Vivio and Corona's eyes widened as they saw three beings floating in the sky. The first was female and Vivio almost felt like slapping herself as she realized that the female looked like some sort of large-chested catgirl with brown fur and black rings that were visible on her shoulders. "Seriously? What's with that look?" Vivio asked as she pointed at the female. "I mean, really, who the heck are you trying to impress looking like that?!"
The catgirl snorted and flicked her hair over her shoulder before landing on the ground. She wasn't wearing shoes of any kind, but instead had her ankles in a wrap, long shorts that covered past her knees and a sleeveless top, both of which were green in color, matching her eyes. "You should be grateful that I'm here instead of master Gram, you wouldn't last more than ten seconds," she smirked, showing off her teeth, "like your foolish friend that he killed."
"You..." Corona growled as she trembled in rage.
"Really..." A second, raspy voice spoke up as a cloaked figure touched the ground next to the catgirl. "That's all you can say?" A large scythe appeared in his hands and everyone stopped to gawk as a pair of eyes opened up on the blade. "Pawra, stop teasing them, let's just get this over with. My name's Death Seeker..."
"Eyes don't belong there." Ixpellia muttered as she held six long dagger blades in her hands. "Are these the same Mazoku we fought before?"
"Yep!" The last member said as he, and it was clearly a he, though why his skin was a bright pink, no one knew, touched down. He had short, messy black hair, long blue pants and a blue coat on his body and in his right hand he was carrying a single knife. "This weapon's mostly for show, but... I wonder how you'll look when I chop you into itty bitty pieces?" The male smirked and pointed a finger at Nove as she called up her outfit. "I wouldn't try that weird gas of yours again." His grin widened as a maniac look came to his eyes. "Or would you rather choke on your own fumes?"
"Like you scare me." Nove narrowed her eyes before grimacing as a strong wind kicked up, blowing her off of her feet and sending her back several several feet before she created her Airliner behind her to stop her from going any further back. "Okay, that wasn't..."
"Knock it off!" Ixpellia threw several of those holy-infused daggers at the pink male, only to stare as the scythe user cut them up easily. "...I never miss." She yelped as the Mazoku held out a palm and a torrent of fire roared out at her. The scythe blinked as a circular barrier popped up in front of Ixpellia.
"Leave them alone!" Arashi yelled as he finally got that blasted barrier magic to work properly. Most of the time, he'd be happy about that, but right now he was more concerned about not dying.
He turned his head to see that Pawra Mazoku fighting against both Vivio and Einhart at the same time. He grimaced as she laughed while slamming a fist into Einhart's stomach before grabbing her leg and using Einhart as a club to smack Vivio away from her. "Knock it off!" Arashi called out, but was tackled by Ixpellia as a large shard of ice passed through where he was a moment ago. "Thanks."
"It's no problem." Ixpellia nodded as she got off of him.
Corona trembled as she saw that pink male Mazoku walk towards her slowly. "St...Stay away!" She screamed, a giant golem appearing just in front of the Mazoku.
"Oh my... I remember this thing..." He grinned and suddenly darted forward slipping to the side as the Golem attacked with its Rocket Punch. "However!"
Corona trembled as her Golem shuddered for a moment before falling into pieces. "No..."
"Useless against a Mazoku, isn't it?" His eyes, so cold and cruel just glinted in the little light that was getting through the clouds. Chuckling, the Mazoku rushed forward and stabbed at Corona's chest, causing the girl to scream loudly as a fist of stone got between her and the Mazoku, catching his knife before it got to her. "Well, you really are a master at this, huh?"
Corona jumped back, trembling as her golem's fist shattered. "No..."
"Duck!" Corona did as she was told as several yellow bolts tore through where she was and blasted into the Mazoku. The young girl could only gape as the Mazoku smirked while the blasts tore through his body as though he was made of liquid and the blasts were small rocks being thrown into a pond.
"Is that all?" He smirked at Nove as he held his finger up to recast the wind spell and keep it blowing right at the redhead. "You aren't nearly enough to defeat me. I'll tell you what... If you just tell me what my master wishes to know, that is, where our two toys went to, we'll let you leave without killing all of you."
Corona's eyes widened at that, she could go home? She could leave this nightmare behind?
"Never!" Nove landed next to Corona and narrowed her eyes. "Those two deserve better than to go back to work for you, and even if you think..."
"Tell me, can you and their other protectors fight off one of Lord Death Fog's direct minions and all of his subordinates at once?" The Mazoku flicked his knife in his hand for several moments as he let that sink in. "I didn't think so."
Meanwhile, Mawra was grinning as she fought against Einhart and Vivio. "If I didn't want to tear your guts out, I'd actually enjoy this."
Vivio glared at the Mazoku as she grinned and flexed her claws. It wasn't the aura that was making her wish to murder this being with all of her might, no, it was the fact that the Mazoku had a bigger chest than she did! That just wasn't fair!
"I don't suppose you have something that can work on her?" Einhart panted as she landed next to Vivio. "The only time anything I use works is if she uses an attack spell on me. My fists and feet can't touch her."
"Your counter spell adds your own magic to what you're reflecting, right?" Vivio asked, getting a nod from Einhart. "Well then, can you aim at something besides who threw it?"
"Yes, why?"
Vivio smirked as she suddenly ran forward. "Follow my lead then!"
Mawra smirked and lashed out with a foot at Vivio's legs as fast as she could. Her smirk died a quick death when, instead of hitting the leg and getting a satisfying snap, she missed as Vivio slid under it. The only thing she managed to hit was the top of Vivio's chest. "Bitch!" She spun, only to see Vivio's hands cupped in front of her and a white light forming between Vivio's hands. "What?"
"My mama taught me this! Elmekia Flame!"
Mawra's eyes widened as an Astral spell was launched at her, she didn't recognize it, but she didn't care. Leaping into the air, she grinned as the attack missed her completely. "I don't know where you learned that, but it will be your... ARRRGH!" She let loose a scream as pain erupted along her back and sent her crashing into the ground in a smoking heap. "...H...how?"
Vivio ran a finger under her nose and smirked. "I only learned that a few days ago, so I didn't know if I could hit you with it, but..."
"If I caught the attack and sent it back at you, I'm pretty sure that I could hit you." Einhart said as she cautiously walked up to the fallen Mazoku. "Now then..."
"Got you!" Einhart jumped back as the Mazoku got to her feet in an instant. "You really think that a single attack, even as powerful as that can defeat me?!"
Einhart and Vivio both sweat-dropped as Mawra suddenly fell flat on her face and twitched. "I guess so?"
"Lies! I'm merely luring you into a false sense of security!"
Einhart turned to Vivio with dubious look on her face. "...She's not very smart, is she?" Vivio just chuckled while rubbing the back of her head nervously. A sudden scream had them both spinning around to see the scythe-using Mazoku had cut Arashi across his back while he pushed Ixpellia out of the way of an attack. "Arashi!" Einhart yelled as she ran forward, only to groan as a lightning bolt crashed into her back. Turning, she saw Mawra struggling to get up. "You..."
"Told... You." Mawra smirked at Einhart. "You're going to die here unless you tell us about those two toys that our master lost." She twitched as she fell forward. "This proves nothing!"
Nove grunted as her gas was blown back in her face. "Nngh!" Her eyes watered as she tried to ward herself from the effects.
"He did warn you about that." Uno spoke up from her shoes. "It might be better to just tell them what they want to know."
"No." Nove growled as images of Amitie and Kyrie flashed through her mind. "You don't know them like I do, Un-nee, they were broken, horribly broken and..." Her eyes glowed yellow as she took off into the air on her Airliner. "It's all their fault!"
As Nove rushed at the Mazoku, she glared at his smirk and reared her fist back to hit him. Even if it wouldn't do much, she needed to do something.
"Where's his knife?" Uno asked and Nove's eyes widened before letting out a cry of pain as the knife suddenly appeared in her upper chest, just below her shoulder bone.
As Nove fell to the ground in shock, the Mazoku snapped his fingers and the knife reappeared in his hands. "As amusing as this is... It's time to end this, you'll live, but the rest..."
"Stop hitting me with those blades!" Death seeker growled as he tried to knock Ixpellia's blades away as they flew through the air at him. "How many of those things do you have anyway?!"
"Enough!" The unnamed Mazoku growled as he grabbed Corona by her throat. "Stand down, all of you, unless you want this one to die like her friend." He smirked as Corona glared at him and a giant golem, easily twice as large as the one she used before appeared behind her. "I said... STAND DOWN!" He squeezed Corona's throat so hard that her eyes nearly bugged out of her skull. "This is your last warning."
"Best do as he says." Death Seeker chuckled as the eyes on his scythe spun around to take in everything. "Now then... Will you tell us what we want to know or not?"
Vivio twitched and lowered her arms as she glowered at the Mazoku. She knew they were powerful, but to be like this? "Mama, why didn't I pay more attention?" If she ever got back to her family, she was going to make them teach her as much about Astral magic as possible. This was insane, and these guys were apparently much weaker than that Gram guy.
The knife-wielding Mazoku grinned and laughed as he held Corona away from his body. "Well then, it's time for you..." His eyes widened as a swooshing sound was heard before his arm was severed from his body. "GAH! What the?" He spun only to find a large piece of metal slashing him between the eyes and cutting his body into half. "To think... I... Warned them about this guy..."
"Who?!" Mawra stared as she finally got to her feet and saw the unnamed Mazoku dissipate from a hooded person's sword attack. "How did you kill him?!" Normal weapons couldn't hurt a Mazoku, no matter how skilled a person was, a normal weapon just didn't hit the Astral plane, so how did this guy..?
"I don't care for Mazoku who attack women and children." The man said as he pulled his hood off, revealing a rather handsome face and blue hair on the top of his head. "I'll say this once, these six are under my protection! Leave and I won't eliminate you."
"And who are you?" The scythe-using Mazoku asked as the man grinned at him.
"Name's Lyos... Knight of the Aqualord, and you..." Lyos smirked as he snapped his fingers the scythe's eyes bugged out as he was skewered with several lances of ice. "Are quite dead."
"Not... Yet!" The cloak of the Mazoku seemed to drop to the ground as the Mazoku escaped to the air, revealing a faceless, hunched over body with bones sticking out at odd angles. "You'll die, Knight of the Aqualord! You'll..."
"Pakota..." Lyos smirked and pointed up. The Mazoku looked up and gaped as a long-eared plush bunny came floating down with a red sphere between its ears.
"Heh heh!" The bunny grinned and pushed its large ears out. "Dragon Slave!" The spell didn't have much power to it, not compared to what he could have done if he had chanted it fully, but the Mazoku was already dying from Lyos's earlier attack. And besides, if he used it at full power, he might kill those people down below.
Mawra trembled, she may not have known the spell exactly, but she could feel the source of that magic. "I won't forget this!" She screamed as she disappeared to report to her master what happened.
"I wouldn't imagine you would." Lyos muttered as he sheathed his sword. Still, as he looked around, he had a sinking suspicion that things were going to get a lot more complicated really fast.
