"Lets take em out" Yolei stated drawing her blade. Ray did so as well as Kari took out her bow as Tai and Tk drew their weapons.

"Ladies first" Tk offered as Yolei ran at a Black Wizard.

"STRIKE WITH HOLY JUDGEMENT LIGHTNING STAB!" Yolei shouted as a large holy blade shot from the ground and was then struk by Lightning stopping the Wizard from useing his Magic.

"Hey lets make a steal" T.k grinned as he ran up to an Archer and stole her Armour and Weapon before kicking her into a Taverin. Kari sweatdroped.

"I'm head over heels for a pervert" She sighed as she shot the other archer on the roof of the buildings. Tai Jumped the other wizard after Ray Night sworded the leader.

"Who Hired you tell me" Ray demanded as The mercanary sighed.

"Shrine Knights.......The ones who now serve Under Baron grims Blac sheep knights" The man replied as Ray stood up and turned his back to the attacker.

"Damn we're some popular" Ray sighed as The theif grinned as he drew a hidden Dagger and darted to stab Ray in the back only to be stabbed by Ray's still unsheaithed sword. "Nice try but too bad your now dead" Ray replied as he removed his sword from the attackers body and left with the others.
