"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! SOMEONE HELP US!!!"

A scream that would have waken half the monsters in Glast Heim rang out as Edward and Orpheus were cornered with Prisoner Zombies and Injustices. The poor rookies were shaking from head to toe, hugging each other as they screamed some more.

"Shit!" Richard cursed as he knocked down a Rybio with his mace only diminishing the mob in front of him by one. "Kai! Can you help them?!" He turned over to Kai's direction only to see a mob of monsters just a big and mean as the one he was dealing with.

The brunette champion shook his head side to side indicating a no as he punched another zombie prisoner.

"YUE! HELP THE-……where did he go?" His voice faltered upon noticing that the blonde idiot was now where to be seen. A vein mark popped up as he punched the wall beside him leaving a dent.

"……I'm gonna kill him!!!" He shouted in anger as blocked the katar from the Injustice by putting a barrier.

"WERE GONNA DIE!!!" Orpheus hollered literally crying now. Edward, although not crying, was paralyzed with the same fear as the monsters enclosed them. They though all would end until…

"Stop bullying my friend you meanies!!" Enter Hero…Camus? He jumped in front of the two who were now peeing their pants as he took out a morning star. The monsters, despite the fact that they do not have feelings, took one look at him and advanced some more. Only it was…

A BIG mistake

"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Camus swung his mace full force blowing away the mob several feet leaving the coward duo in shock. Richard's dropped his cigarette at the miraculous scene beside him while Kai simply shrugged and continued eliminating the monsters.

"Hey uh Edward?" Orpheus asked as Camus continued to beat the living soul out of the monster.

"……Yeah?"

"Did you ever think that…Camus was going to be a…monk?"

"…no…"

"Could it be that he's the…strongest one in this group?"

"…oh yeah…big time…" Edward replied as bloody body parts of the monsters began flying everywhere as blood spurted onto the walls and floor.


Meanwhile, somewhere else in Glast Heim…

"Phew! That was close!" A cheery voice rang out. Yue was now behind a wall and what appears to be having his own teatime. It seems that he teleported himself out of the area leaving the rest to deal with his trouble.

"I wonder what happened to the others…oh well! I hope they get out alive! The rookies are useful when I want to skip out on the job!" He said as he took another sip out of a blue potion. "Ahh…that hits the spot!"

He was so BUSY doing his own business that he did not notice another presence coming from behind.

"…Yue…"

The high priest flinched at the voice, slowly he turned around to see an enraged blonde Lord Knight towering over him with the intense aura of killing him. The assassin cross behind her sighed.

"h-hi Julian…want to join me?…"

Griever, who was now several feet back, shook his head in dismay.

"You should have not said that…"

SNAP

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!"

The whole Glast Heim shook as her voice rang out through out the whole area ceasing the adventurers who were unlucky enough to be at the Glast Heim area at that time.

"W-wait! Wait! I can explain!!" Yue backed up as the enraged Lord Knight advanced to him. Julian unsheathed her twin sword as she slowly went into fighting stance.

"There's NOTHING." She said as she held her sword up and positioned it toward Yue. "for you to explain!!!" She finished as the fight began. Obviously Yue who was crying for mercy, was the one suffering severe damaged as Julian's intention was to crush every bone in his body.

"Griever! Help me!!!" He screamed in pain. Griever sat down on the side with his arm folded.

"You're the one who got yourself into this mess. Your responsibility to get yourself out of it." He said curtly as he continued watching the sabotage. He learned one important thing today. Never ever get on Julian's bad side.


Now back to the other group…

"There's no end to this!" Richard shouted as he wiped the bead of sweat from his forehead. Kai also breathed heavily indicating that he will not hold up much longer, Edward and Orpheus were up and back onto their feet. However, they were also worn out and Camus was also at his limits.

"Storm Gust!"

A voice rang out as a huge blizzard erupted freezing the zombie prisoners and Injustice right at their spot. Rybio, although immune to freezing, suffered major wounds from the ice shards. Before the monsters could take another step a spell circle appeared beneath them.

"Lord of Vermillion!"

Fire fell from the sky followed by explosions as the monsters screeched as smoke covered the whole area. The group coughed and closed their eyes as the smoke also engulfed them. Several seconds later the smoke cleared up and to their surprise the mob was now nothing but black dust.

"You should be thankful that Sir Xeno foresee this happening." A cold voice said as a high wizard walked toward them. His silvery hair covered his left eye as the exposed right eye was blue as ice adding a sense of coldness to his pale skin. The captain wizard group, head of the experimental group and the younger brother of Sir Xeno: Xeonhart Shadin. Declined to receive a guild name.

"Xeonhart! We came to help them. Not to lecture them." Another voice came from behind revealing a scholar. Long golden hair with an ancient crown adorn upon his head with mismatch eyes of blue and red. Rak Shain Ying, captain of the sage group and a professor at the sage academy in Juno. Guild name Keiki.

"We heard what happened from Julian. We're here to bring you back to the guild castle." Keiki said with a smile as he held a hand out to the rookies. Richard took off his boys cap and sat down in relief.

"Thank god…what happened to Yue anyway?"

"Obviously, from the holler we heard earlier he's receiving punishment from Julian." Xeonhart answer curtly. Keiki laughed a bit nervously as he treated Kai's wounds. Richard, after Keiki used Soul Exhale to recover his mp, went to the trio to heal them.

"Don't worry. Julian may be aggressive from time to time but she never did kill him. The worst scenario will by maybe a broken jaw, arm and legs." Keiki said. Orpheus, Edward and Camus looked at each other whether to take that as a reassurance or a warning. A loud beeping sound cut in as Xeonhart mumbled something among the line of "What do they want now…" as he took out a guild communicator. ((a/n: We'll just say it's like a walkie-talkie))

"This is Xeonhart……yes we have successfully regrouped with Richard's group…yes we will head back as soon as possible."

There was a short buzzing sound as Xeonhart cut off the communication only to see the rookies staring at him.

"What"

"How come Richard and Kai don't have one? In fact why don't we have one? It would have been a lot quicker to call help if we had one of those!" Orpheus shouted somewhat angered. Keiki hushed him as he continued tending his wounds.

"The communicators are only distributed to leaders and captains. In your case Yue should have one."

"Why didn't he call for help?!" Edward retorted as he flinched a bit from the bruises he had on his side. Richard glanced at him as he exhaled a puff of smoke from his cigarette.

"After what all you saw of Yue, do you really think he would have remembered?"

There was a moment of silence as the group looked at each other. Not too sure if they should answer honestly or not.

"No."

"There's your answer to that question…now we better hurry and get out of here. Richard, do you have a warp to Prontera?" Keiki asked as he turned to Richard who sheepishly rubbed his hand behind his neck.

"I do but…I'm out of blue gemstones."

"Let me take a guess." Xeonhart said as he closed his eyes in annoyance. "That's fool Yue didn't do any job of healing that you had to use sanctuary to keep the party alive."

"Yeah…"

"Which is why I brought spare gems." Keiki piped up cheerfully as he took out a several blue gemstones from his pocket. "I'm glad the priests had to use Deluge to make holy water today."

"Thanks Keiki. You're a life saver." He took one blue gemstone and lightly threw it in front of him. "Warp Portal." The gemstone dissolved into shining sand as a pillar of light erupted from the ground.

"YAY!! HOME!!!" Orpheus jumped up and went head first into the portal.

"……hmph…" Edward smiled a bit as he went in next along with Camus tailing behind him. After the rookies Kai went next followed by Xeonhart, Keiki and lastly Richard. Every one of them more than ready to return to the guild castle and away from the dark and dreary cursed land.

At the infirmary at the guild castle…

"Wow, 12 broken bones. I think this is a new record. She sure did beat you up good this time." Griever whistled in amazement as he stood beside Yue who was now bandaged up all over his body except for his eyes.

"Mmph…mph mmmmph!" Yue's voice was muffled do to the fact that his mouth was also bandaged up. Griever just smirked as he set down the medical chart to the side table.

"Well you won't be able to move for at least 3 weeks. After your all healed I think you should get Julian a present or something. That always makes a woman happy. Well…at least is should."
