Ifrit appeared in collumn of fire, scorching the area of his appearence. He bellowed, but stopped and looked around in surprise.
Sonya's temper had coolled down a bit. "Sorry Ifrit, I just lost my temper. You can go back to the Ether now."
Ifrit muttered a few equivilants of a summon's cuss words before disappearing in another collumn of smoky fire.
"Hey, one more thing- stop potty-mouthing! Shiva's been complaining to me about that, ya know!" Sonya hollered.
A few more cuss words boomed from the sky, followed by a lance of fire that struck out near Sonya.
"Dirty good-for-nothing demon-mutt," Sonya muttered.
Zhiraz smiled and started laughing.
"Hush!" Layla suddenly said, getting up and spilling her soup all over Starkin with a hiss.
Starkin hurridly cleaned off the mess as Layla's ears pricked back and forth. "Someones are coming! A clan!"
"Should we fight?" Starkin said unsurely. "I mean, we have a guesst right now-"
"No, don't let me hold you guys back. I can fight too," Kayi said.
Zhiraz shrugged. "If the little lady wants to, then she can fight. Remember Seriphina a few weeks ago, y'all? Saved our necks, that's what I'd say, saved us from the ol' muddle-Judge! Ehehehehe!"
"Er, ignore him. He's a country bumpkin," Layla said as the approaching clan appeared over the hills.
"Hey, Clan Crystal Bane?" a voice called.
"Yes, are you challenging us?"Layla called.
There were six creatures in all- a moogle, a bangaa, a viera, a nu mou, and two humans. The Fighter in the front waved.
"Yeah, we are. We hiked all the way over the Ulei to catch up with ya guys, you know!"
"Are you tired? We can wait," Starkin volunteered.
"That was yesterday, kupo!" a moogle Gunner said. "We're fine today!"
"Will Missss Morgana be joining uss?" Starkin said, putting his helmet on and holding his Paristan off the ground.
"Um... Can I?" Kayi asked.
Zhiraz nodded. "Might as well. All right everyone, they're engaging us, let's go!"
Everyone quickly got into the arrow-shaped formation that Kayi had seen before.
"Yo, Morgana!" Willy yelled, waving towards the stop behind him.
"Um... Thanks, I guess," Kayi said, not knowing what she had gotten herself into.
The Judge came out of nowhere, blew the whistle (and spittle all over Starkin), and raised his hand to begin the engagement.
"Go!" Dasmon started charging, surprising the other side with his false stupidity.
Everyone else waited.
