"Well, I can say without a doubt that we're in the middle of some really big trouble." Hope said.
"You think? The elves have awoken and are going to tear this kingdom apart just to kill every human they can find, including most of us." Kazuichi said.
"Guys, guys! Let's all just calm down." Harumi said.
"She's right. Panicking isn't going to solve anything." Chrysalis said.
"Chrysalis is right. We need to figure out what to do next." Mark said.
"Have you guys not listened to his last words to Yami and us. He said to protect this kingdom." Roxas said.
"Yeah. That's what I heard." Zexi said.
"Then that's what we're gonna do. Licht may have succeeded, but we're gonna do everything we can to stop this, and protect this kingdom." Hope said.
"Yeah...and giant jellyfish." Frosta said.
"And giant…" Hope said seeing a tentacle grab onto the roof. "Jellyfish?!"
"Look on top!" Zexi said as they saw two elves standing on top of it.
"Wait...aren't they the attendant, Marx and the healer, Owen?" Hope asked.
"Unfortunately, we are not the ones you knew within these forms. We are the elves, a race that lived long ago in this world before we were slaughtered by you humans." Marx said.
"Except this time, it will be humanity that will be eliminated...as was before." Owen said.
"Is that right?" Yami asked as he stood there.
"It may be an inconvenience...but we'll make this quick." Marx said as he rapidly fired arrows at them.
"Watch out!" Yami said deflecting the arrows with his katana. "If any of those arrows hit you, you'll forget the last few minutes that happened."
The heroes dodged the arrows, before Owen's conjuration lashed out at them with more tentacles.
"Pointing out the obvious here, but healers aren't supposed to HURT people!" Bow said firing a Stun arrow at Owen, which blinded him for a bit.
"It's not his fault! The elf possessing his body must've twisted his Healing Magic into something demented!" Hope said. "Not to mention, I'm feeling insane levels of power from these guys, and it isn't showing any signs of stopping."
"To make matters worse, these guys aren't even attack style mages." Adora said.
"You can't escape us! Memory Magic: Torment Canceler!" Marx said, firing multiple arrows at them.
"Dark Magic: Black Hole!" Yami said creating a miniature black hole that sucked in all the arrows before he jumped at them. "Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Avidya Wild Slash!" he said swinging his sword, dicing up the large jellyfish into pieces.
"What in the?!" the elves said in shock.
"Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Avidya Blunt Strike!" Yami said striking both of them with the blunt side of his sword, knocking them both out. "Now why don't you stay put?"
Perfuma then sensed something. "Everyone watch out! Below us!" she shouted before she was attacked by several red roses with thorns.
"Perfuma!" Glimmer said as the others evaded the thorns.
"This magic…" Yami said as a large rose bloomed and out came a face familiar to him.
"My comrades… how foolish of you to let your guard down the moment you awaken." she said. "It'll serve our mission better if you sleep within my spell...least for now."
"That's the Captain of the Blue Rose isn't it? Charlotte Roselei?" Flamberge said.
"That is not my name. My name is Charla." she said.
"Been awhile prickly princess. Never known you for someone to give others slack." Yami said.
"And I don't know you at all. A few of you seem capable...for mere humans." Charla said.
"You have no idea." Hope said.
"But, that's futile, in the face of your sins." Charla said as waves of thorns and roses blasted their way, forcing Yami and the heroes into a retreat. Hope grabbed Perfuma before she was taken out and leaped up to higher ground.
"Hope, there's no way we can just stay together. We need to spread out to help everyone else in the capital." Zexi said.
"You're right Zexi." Hope nodded. "What do you think we should do?"
"We can't organize teams in a hazardous situation like this. We'll all spread out all over and switch between battle and rescue." Harumi said.
"Okay." Hope siad. "Everyone, spread out! Leave Charlotte to Yami, we need to break off and save as many people as we can and quell this chaos!"
"Okay!" Flamberge said.
"We'll take care of Perfuma!" Adora said. "Cap, I need one of those… bean things!"
"We have you covered!" CP said as he retrieved a Senzu Bean and gave it to Adora. "We wish you luck! Onward, teammates!" he declared as Team Go-Go went off in search of people in need of help.
Everyone else broke off across the city.
"Yami, will you be okay on your own?" Hope asked Yami.
"Dont worry about me, I'll take care of the prickly princess here." Yami said.
"Alright, good Luck!" Hope said, releasing his spectral wings and taking flight. As soon as he was halfway across the capital, he saw a large earth golem marching towards the scene, a dark skinned woman on top. "(Hey, isn't that a member of the Blue Rose? She can't get close to the battle!)" he said flying down and getting in her way. "Stop right there!"
"Out of my way, you stubborn man! I need to get to Char!" the woman said.
Blue Rose
Sol Marron
"If you think that's still Charlotte fighting Yami over there, that's not. That's an elf possessing her body with no mercy for humans like us." Hope said. "I know members of the Blue Rose like you despise men like me, but you have to believe me!"
"Like I believe anything a guy says. Earth Creation Magic: Raging Mother Earth!" Sol said, creating a massive golem from the ground. As it was about to punch Hope, he grit his teeth.
"THATS ENOUGH!" he yelled as he punched back as his fist collided with the golem, shattering his arm. "Had...oh crap." he said as more golems rose up before Xion went and took them down.
"Hope, get out and save others and stop picking fights." Xion said.
Sucking it up, Hope headed off to help others.
"Okay...it's probably better if I knock you out of here." Xion said. "Or just keep you away. Trust me...she'd kill you right now." she said as she clashed with Sol.
Elsewhere in the capital…
"Okay, that's good. Just keep going this way. You'll be safe." Sam said guiding a few of the citizens.
"This is getting more and more dire." Kenshin said as a pillar of flames erupted not too far off.
"That location...I think that's where the Crimson Lions were." Sam said.
"We need to get over there now." Alkal said.
"Agreed." CP added as the group made their way to the flames. There they saw the Crimson Lions going against one of their own who had become an elf.
"Come on! Get it together. Losing to something like this is something we won't do!" said a young boy with spiky orange hair.
Crimson Lions
Leopold Vermillion
"Really? Is that what you think?" the elf said as a blast of air hit them and knocked them back. "I've saturated this area in my magic so there's no way you can in."
"Randall...this isn't like you." Leopold said. "I'll win and bring you back to your senses! Flame Magic: Spiral Flames!" he said sending a tornado of fire at him.
"AIr Magic: Air Blockade!" Randall said blocking the attack with ease.
"We'll show you the valor of the Crimson Lions!" the knights shouted charging at Randall before being knocked away.
"Such stubborn little things. No matter how many come, they are all done for." Randall said, taking out each knight.
"Incredible. His Air Magic is definitely powerful. We wouldn't be able to touch him." Sam said.
"Though that kid keeps going at it. Who was he?" Alkal asked.
"Leopold Vermillion. He's the younger brother of the captain." Sam said.
"Soon...all humans will die brutal deaths...even you royals like you!" Randall said.
"There's no way...I'm gonna die. Not now. Not here." Leopold said.
Just before the final blow could be struck, a powerful surge of energy could be felt all over as something went and shrouded the nearby building with an eerie red magic.
"More enemies?" Kenshin asked ready to draw a sword.
"No." Sam said as they saw a man beginning to emerge. "An ally." he said as emerging from the building was a man with long orange hair with a missing arm being taken up by one made of flames.
"You fought well, Leo. I'm proud." he said.
Crimson Lions
Fuegoleon Vermillion
"I...can't believe you're here." Leopold said in tears.
"But you have much to learn. I will handle this." Fuegoleon said holding his arm out as emerging from it was a living dragon made of flames.
"No way. I read about that. The Spirit that controls fire...Salamander." Sam said.
"As the captain of the Crimson Lions...and as your older brother. I shall be bested...no more!" he said.
"A human for a partner? But how is that possible? And a royal at that. They're the most corrupt of them all." Randall said.
"Randall! I've just awoke so my flames may be unruly so please stand still so you won't be consumed!" Fuegoleon said.
"You're still human trash!" Randall said.
"Flame Spirit Magic: Salamander's Breath!" Fuegoleon said as Salamander unleashed a powerful breath of flames on the elf, taking it out. "Now Flame Binding Magic: Leo Palma!" he said as flaming lion paws restrained the elf. "I had to stamp out this evil, even if the vice captain's body was damaged. Now all of you, go help the injured. As your captain, I vow to return all of our comrades to normal."
"This guy is...so incredible!" Kenshin said. "Now that...is the kind of warlord I will become."
"And I'll do everything in my power to help you along that path, Kenshin." Harumi said.
"Why are you standing about? There are still others that need to be saved." Fuegoleon said to them.
"Understood, former captain Fuegoleon sir!" Kenshin said.
