Fiore's Final Effort, Episode Two: Demi-God vs. Deputy Commander
"Darn it Reve!" said Cygnus with a groan, as his body jerked upright from the snowy ground they were laying on. He was upset. That was the third illusion mission he had failed, either by failure or by getting taken out by friendly fire. "Calm down Cyg, it's not like you would have been able to take out Cobra by yourself." The voice had come from a white haired individual, wearing a red scarf with all black attire. A man by the name of Sidney Castle, White Eclipse's ace as the purple smoke of his Illusion spell had slowly blown down the mountain, a smirk on his face. "Tch… Thanks Cyg, you blew your one chance at looking good." Reve had gotten up, walking back toward the guild a grin on his face. He had said that with a joking tone, but he knew that it would aggravate the Gravity Mage. "Remember Cygnus," said Tayakata, tapping her forehead, as she made her way back to the guild. "Research is key!" Cygnus let out a groan, as he started to make his way towards a forest, which was at the foot of the mountain, still peeved about his recent failure.

"Hn…. I wonder if Cygnus can fly with me…." The voice had come from a man standing on the Grimoire Heart Airship; his white cloth which was labeled 'blue' in kanji was furling in the wind behind him, as he spotted the Gravity Mage. He had heard that Cygnus was a Demi-God. He was quite interested in seeing what he could do; he prepared himself to leap off the Airship. "Bluenote, hold on… even though we may be at War with this guild… I don't want you ending it so quickly. Understand?" The man who was lecturing Bluenote was none other than Grimoire heart's leader, Hades. "Heh… I'll try." Blue had already hopped off the airship, his overcoat blowing away in the wind, as he hurtled down towards the Demi-god.

"I wonder if the sub shop is open," Said Cygnus, until he let out a sigh of exasperation, throwing his hands up as well, "Damn it! If only Reve hadn't gotten in my way… I would have gotten Cobra… "Cygnus trailed off, sensing a great magic approach his location at an alarming rate. "Heh…just in time, I needed something to take my frustrations out on. Once I'm done with you, I'll get my meatball sub." Cygnus stopped, discarding his red trench coat to the ground next to him, as he saw Bluenote Stinger land on the ground, using his fist to break his fall. "Can you fly with me Gwydion?" Blue looked up, his black and purple aura, running fervently around his body, excited to even meet another gravity mage.
"Alright, I'll play with ya, whoever you might be." With that Cygnus kicked off on his back foot, throwing a quick barrage of punches and kicks, using his gravity magic to slowly enhance the weight of his fists and feet, so they would be heavier at the point of impact, his cheeks beginning to swell from the magic that was building in it.
"Your magic power… I can't sense it." Bluenote was a little taken back, as he blocked the attacks with little effort, still trying to understand how somebody with virtually no sensible magic power was able to even keep up with him. At any rate he wasn't worried yet, just readying himself to unleash a Gravity push.
"Gravity God's Bellow!" Cygnus opened his mouth, firing off a dense wave of Gravity straight into the gut of Bluenote, sending the Mage back, almost half of what Gildart's was able to accomplish by himself, as Cygnus wiped his mouth an obvious smirk shown on his face. "If that's all the infamous Bluenote Stinger has to offer me, this will be an easy." Cygnus was about to take another step forward, until he was sent into the ground by Bluenote's fall spell, the gravity was magnified to an extreme amount, even for Cygnus who trained in intense gravity.
"You can't even fly? Shame for a demigod…" Blue let out a snicker, as he leapt into air, aiming to crush the skull of the Mage, creating a massive dust cloud engulfing the two. "Master Hades will be disheartened by this news…." Thought Blue.
"That's all? You couldn't even hurt me in this state Blue. You better step your game up." As soon as the dust cloud had departed, Cygnus was shown on one knee holding Blue up with a single finger. "You ever thought the reason as to why you can't sense me," Cygnus pushed upwards with his finger, sending Blue flying into the air, "was because my power exceeds yours to a point where you need to see it to even sense it?!" Cygnus now stood his muscular frame showing fully as he thrust a hand into the air. "Stellar Shine." In an instant, a massive golden ray of gravity raced from Cygnus' hand toward the wide open Blue, scoring a direct hit. "I know that isn't all it takes to beat you…"

A fork had scraped off the last piece of Key Lime pie off of a plate, a Mage in White Eclipse let out a sigh of relief. "Heh… Cygnus is finally showing up…" This had come from one of White Eclipse's more silent mage's Takeru. He was outfitted in all black, from his head to his toes as he began to fade into a nearby shadow, reappearing high up in a tree, watching Cygnus and Bluenote battle. "Show me what that training has done for you Cyg…."
