A/N: Hello everyone and welcome back. Classes have been busy so sorry for not updating so soon. I appreciate the reviews that I've gotten, they mean a lot to me.
-lilpumpkingirl: I do apologize for keeping details in the first chapter kind of vague when it came to the seven kids. I was going for build up when I made the chapter so I really didn't take too much detail into account. Rest assured however, I will be adding names and characterization/details in this chapter and the following chapters. And to answer your question, yes, I am NOT a first time writer. I have been writing for a very long time now and have been perfecting my style ever since. This is just the first time I've posted a fan fiction…like, ever, so I appreciate that you've noticed that. Also, the kids age, aside from the little one, range from their late to mid-teens.
-To everyone else who's reviewed, I'm glad you guys think I'm off to a good start. I promise I will try to not disappoint your expectations as I continue this story.
Once again, thank you for the reviews…and without further ado, let's begin.

CHAPTER 2: Contact Pt.1
With a screeching of metal on metal and the hiss of steam, the train carrying the Crocus Team came to a stop. No sooner, had the conductor opened the doors to the passenger car did Natsu Dragneel bolt towards the nearest trash can as a series of dry heaves erupted from his chest. The pink haired mage had a…unfriendly relationship with motion sickness.
"For crying *cough* out *blegh* loud." Natsu muttered as Lucy and Happy came over to him and patted him sympathetically on the back.
"We really should find you medicine for that sooner or later." Lucy said as Nastu began to regain his bearings.
"Yeah, whenever you lose your lunch you get really cranky and smell like dead fish." Happy said as the blue exceed hovered off the ground.
Natsu sent a quick glare at the winged cat as he wiped what was left of the bile off his lips as the rest of his team disembarked from the train, their luggage in tow.
"Alright everyone, listen up." Erza said as the group formed up in a semi-circle around her as she pulled a map out of her back pack.
"The Captain of the Capital Guard will be meeting us shortly to let us know what's going on here in the Capital. We nearly missed the train back at our last stop so we're running behind schedule. We need to make our way to the Capital Barracks lest our targets catch wind that we're here, so let's hurry."
"Right!" The others said in unison as Erza set a brisk pace for the Barracks. Natsu, however, paused for a second and took a look behind him. He thought he sensed someone watching him from a distance. It wasn't threating by any means but it was a noticeable presence none the less.
"Natsu!"
Natsu was shaken out of his stupor as Lucy ran back towards him.
"You're gonna get left behind if you don't hurry up…what's wrong?" Lucy asked as she noticed Natsu frowning slightly.
Natsu shook his head and gave Lucy a comforting smile. "It's nothing, let's go."
Together, the two ran after their group; unaware that they were in fact being watched.
XXXX
"Your instincts are sharp as ever." The leader muttered as he watched the Crocus Team, Natsu in particular, make their way to the barracks.
He stood with his left leg bent atop the ledge of a building with his left arm resting on it. He had forgone his cloak, as had the rest of his group, since it would draw too much attention in the city. He was tall for his age of seventeen years with broad shoulders, muscular frame and relaxed demeanor. He wore a pair of trendy, dark framed glasses with a white, long sleeved button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and a black button down vest atop it. Two black wristbands on both wrists and a black leather belt with a few pouches kept a pair of black slacks in place while a pair of black lace-less dress shoes completed the ensemble. His most distinguishing feature was his pink hair.
Standing up from his spot, he turned to the girl next to him…his fraternal twin; his sister.
She was a beautiful girl of medium height, but had a slim, curvaceous body. Her blonde hair had natural pink highlights mixed in with the golden strands and was kept back into twin pigtails. A blue bandana was tied around her neck while she wore a sleeves blue and white collared shirt with a black elbow length shirt underneath it. Both shirts were small enough that they exposed her taught midriff. A brown leather belt with large buckles was wrapped around a blue short skirt. A pair of black, knee high socks and black combat boots completed the look.
"Everything's going just as the book says." The second girl said as she continued to intently watch the Crocus team, her gaze never leaving Lucy.
The leader placed a hand on her shoulder.
"C'mon," he said with a comforting smile as he took one last look at the group, "everyone is where they need to be. It's time for us to do the same."
"Right." The girl said with a confident nod.
With that, the siblings began leaping from rooftop to rooftop, unnoticed by the people below.
XXXX
The Crocus team sat in a small briefing room located within the barracks of the Capital Guard. They sat in wooden chairs while a slide projector was being readied in the center of the room. Standing before the mages was the Captain of the Guard, Johan Tenembaum. Tenembaum was a man in his mid-fifties with salt and pepper black hair and beard and piercing green eyes. He stood tall and proud in his polished armor while his right hand rested close to the sword at his hip. Once the projector had been set up, Tenembaum faced the group.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of Fairy Tail, I cannot thank you for enough for coming to our city on such short notice. We have tried to contain the situation as best as we could but we are running out of options."
"Think nothing of it Captain, we're just glad we can be of assistance." Said Erza.
"Yeah, once we kick these guys' asses into next week, you won't have to worry about them ever again." Natsu said confidently.
"I wished I shared your optimism, but I don't expect these people to go down lightly." Tenembaum's tone was grim as he motioned for the first slide to be moved.
The image that appeared caused Lucy and Wendy to gasp quietly while Levy subconsciously moved closer to Gajeel. The image of what used to be a street corner had been turned into something out of a war zone. The main building was missing half of its front section while the street surrounding it had been reduced to a mess of craters and upturned cobblestone. There were blood stains here and there.
"This used to be a small, family owned store. The group responsible for this has caused similar damage to various buildings in and around the city along with the assault and reckless endangerment of forty people over the last month. We, the Capital Guard, have done our best to apprehend those responsible but have found ourselves outmatched at every turn. It was recently that we realized that only another magical group could combat this threat and I was ordered personally by the King himself to contact your guild immediately."
Another slide moved into place, this one of four mug shots from police records.
"These are the members of the rouge magic group simply known as "Pain.""
Tenembaum extended to his hand and pointed at each member of the rouge group.
"The first man here is Mikhail Deathwing."
The mug shot was of a man with snow white hair tied back in a ponytail and had a well groomed beard-mustached combo. An eye patch covered his left eye where a zigzag style scar ran from his hairline down his cheek bone and too the tip of his jaw. The glare he gave with his cold, dark eyes could have killed anyone, no matter how strong, if it was possible.
"The de facto leader of the team. Deathwing is wanted in Fiore and other countries for crimes ranging from extortion and kidnapping to manslaughter and the torture. He specializes in destruction magic, meaning that anything he can touch can be reduced to a pile of rubble."
The next person was a woman with her violet colored hair tied into a loose braid while her dark brown eyes held a eeriness that could only be described as…creepy. She had a smug smirk on her face as she posed for the camera.
"This woman is simply known Wynonna. Don't let her looks fool you, she's a complete narcissist and sadist in one package. She is responsible for last year's prolific murder of a diplomat from Sin and countless assassinations in multiple countries. She specializes in plant magic and can create plants designed to poison you or swallow you like a Venus fly trap…a plant that will slowly and painfully drain the life out of you."
The third group member appeared; a young woman whose face was obscured by the hood of her jacket and the long bangs of her light brown hair. A stuffed cat doll could clearly be seen as she hugged it close to her.
"This poor soul is Leila McAllister. Her parents were murdered right before her eyes when she was young and she never really recovered from the experience. She was on her own for the longest time from what we can gather but the bodies she leaves in her wake whenever someone crosses her is enough evidence to warrant extreme caution. She uses wind magic to create sharp, razor like gusts of wind or concentrated air to eviscerate her victims. I should also note that she sees Deathwing as a father figure but we have no idea as to why. She's very protective of him so be very careful."
The fourth and final slide moved into position. The picture made even Gajeel shift in his seat uncomfortably. It was of a man who was wrapped from head to toe in bandages. Only strands of spiky green hair could be seen sticking out of the bandages along with his glowing red eyes and insidious grin.
"This man is the definition of the words psychopath and creep. Meet Wren Myerson; a man so dangerous and depraved he has an execution/kill on sight order for him in every country on Earth Land. This man has one goal in mind; kill anyone and everyone just for the sake of having "fun." He is the most dangerous and unpredictable of the group. He specializes in blood magic, meaning he can convert his blood into any weapon he so chooses."
With those words, the projector was switched off. Tenembaum sighed and look at each individual member of the group.
"I know you people didn't have to come here for this. Believe me, I don't want anything to happen to you…but we're simply out of options. You're the best of the best so I pray you'll be able to stop these people."
Tenembaum paused.
"Given the nature of these people, I give each and every one of you the authorization to use lethal force. If you have to kill these people to stop them, then so be it. It will not affect your payment for this mission in the slightest. I would ask you to avoid collateral damage but that would be asking too much. If you are in need of reinforcements, head towards the castle, I will have the guards watching for you. If you do, however, manage to detain one of these criminals, we have specialists on standby who will be there in a moment's notice to seal their powers and provide you with medical assistance."
Erza raised her hand slightly.
"How will we be able to find these people?"
"They mainly stick to hit and run tactics so it's hard to say. But as the evidence shows, they'll most likely find you first."
"There goes the element of surprise, for all the good it did us." Gajeel muttered hotly under his breathe. Levy placed a comforting hand on his arm.
Tenembaum took a deep breathe.
"That is all for the briefing, you may start your search when you are ready. I wish you the best of luck." And with those words Tenembaum left the mages to their own devices.
Erza was the first to stand up.
"Alright everyone, here's the plan. We'll be splitting up into separate teams." Erza unfolded a map of Crocus and placed it on a nearby table with the rest of the group forming a circle around it. The three exceed, Happy, Carla, and Pantherlily, hovered near their respective partners.
"Natsu, Lucy, I want you two covering the east residential section. Gray, Juvia, you'll be taking the market district. Gajeel, Levy, I want you two to head over to the financial district. Wendy, Romeo, you're with me; we'll be heading to the main square. If anything happens and we find ourselves out matched, we meet up near the Castle at the center of the city."
Erza looked at each and every member of her fellow guild mates.
"I don't think I have to emphasize how dangerous these people are. So I want you to look after your partners no matter what happens; understand?"
The mages gave their various forms of acknowledgement.
"Then let's get started…good luck to all of you."
And with that, the respective teams went their separate ways, each one hoping that they would make it through the day.
XXXX
Natsu and Lucy, accompanied by Happy, made their way down the cobblestone streets of the residential section of Crocus. Apartments of various sizes lined both sides of the street while people walked down the sidewalks going about their daily business.
"Who do you think we're going to run into?" Natsu asked casually as he looked at the rooftops of the buildings.
"In this city, it could be anyone. The Captain said they may know we're coming so it could be anyone's guess." Lucy answered back worriedly.
Natsu, having noticed Lucy's concern, gently placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, if anything happens, you know I'll be there for you right?" Natsu asked with a comforting smile.
Lucy returned the smile and gently placed her hand on Natsu's.
"Yeah…I know."
Natsu was about to reply when he suddenly sensed a massive amount of dark energy. His and Lucy's heads snapped to the top of a nearby building where a man stood looking down on them, his back hunched and arms dangling at the sides. Natsu slowly moved in front of Lucy as Happy landed and tried to hide behind Natsu's leg.
"Natsu he's…"
"Yeah…Wren Myerson." Natsu said as he felt his senses heighten.
Myerson on the other hand stared at the two mages with obvious glee as his ever present grin began to widen. With surprising speed, Myerson raised his hands before slamming them down of the roof.
"Multi-blood spike vine!" Crimson red cracks ran down the side of the building and into the street with blinding speed. Natsu, Happy and Lucy both jumped out of the way in time to avoid the needle like spikes that shot out from the blood. While the two mages and exceed managed to avoid the spikes, a few innocent bystanders were caught in the attack, the red spikes skewering them in the arms, legs or sides. The spikes then retracted from their victims, leaving them crying out in agony.
Others were not so fortunate.
Myerson began cackling like the lunatic he was as he jumped down from the building and landed on the street, the cobblestone cracking beneath his feet. If they already hadn't, many of the civilians began to run away from the madman, leaving the mages to their battle.
"Well, well, well…what do we have here?" Myerson said as he rose to his full height, "More people to play with? Oh, this must be my lucky day."
"Happy, find a safe place to hide. We'll handle this guy." Natsu said as he and Lucy took defensive stances, the latter reaching for the Celestial Keys on her hip. Happy nodded frantically before flying off to a safe distance, anxiously watching as the three mages squared off.
"Oh, so you did come to play. I must say I'm flattered." Myerson stretched out his arms dramatically. "I was becoming bored with all these city folk, they hardly put up a fight. You two are a welcomed change in pace."
"Shut up creep, one way or another you and your friends are going to pay for the crimes you've committed." Lucy said.
"Friends? Oh, you must mean my associates. I wouldn't really consider them friends. They don't like playing with me, but they do let me have a lot of fun wherever they go."
Myerson then pointed his one hand at Natsu and Lucy.
"But now that you're here, I can make up for lost time…Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia."
Natsu and Lucy recoiled in shock.
"How do you-"
"Know your names?" Myerson said cutting Lucy off, "Please, you two and your guild are always in Sorcerer Magazine. It's hard not to know who you are. Besides, we knew you were coming anyways."
Myerson cracked his neck, his grin never once faltering.
"The Boss knew you and your guild would be coming after us once we started too much trouble…after all, a world renowned guild such as Fairy Tail should have no problem handling such common criminals like us, shouldn't you?" Myerson asked mockingly.
"Listen…stand down or be taken down." Natsu said threateningly as he glared at Myerson.
"And pass up a perfect opportunity to have some honest to god fun? I think not!" Myerson said just as three massive explosions resounded throughout the city. Natsu and Lucy looked in the general direction of the first explosion and saw smoke steadily rising into the air.
"Ooooooh, it looks like your friends ran into the others," Myerson said in a sing song voice, "Which means it's time for me to get started."
Myerson suddenly clenched his hands together and his hands turned into claws that dripped with blood.
"Now mages of Fairy Tail, let's have some real fun!" With those words, Myerson bolted forward towards Natsu and Lucy.
Natsu was quick to react.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu said as he took a deep breath of air before launching his signature attack.
The large jet of flame spewed out from Natsu's mouth while Lucy drew two Spirit Keyes from her waist.
"Open gate of The Golden Bull and gate of The Scorpion!" Lucy said as Taurus and Scorpio appeared next to hear.
"We are going to kick some ass!" Scorpio proclaimed.
"May I be the first to say that you look even lovelier every time I see you Lucy-san!" Said Taurus.
"Not now Taurus." Lucy said as she watched Natsu's attack score a direct hit on Myerson.
However, instead of going down and bursting into flames, Myerson leaped out of the inferno and tried to slash at Natsu with his claws.
Natsu leapt back and ducked just as Taurus took a swing at Myerson with his axe. Myerson took the hit and was sent flying backwards into a building as blood gushed from the open wound.
"Our turn." Scorpio said as he fired his Sand Spear into Myerson. The side of the building partially collapsed from the dual impacts. A large pile of rubble had formed where Myerson once was.
"Did we get him?" Lucy asked as she stood next to Natsu who continued to hold his defensive stance.
The rubble began to shift and to everyone's shock, Myerson rose from the ruble. The bandages that were scorched from Natsu's attack fell off of Myerson to reveal a muscular body no completely covered in dripping blood.
His once manic grin had now turned feral.
His eyes glowed an even brighter red.
"Not even close sweetheart." Myerson said in his sickly calm voice. He then licked his lips with his freakishly long tongue.
"Damnit, our attacks didn't even do anything." Natsu said through clenched teeth.
"Now it's my turn!" Myerson said with glee as he raised his hand into a fist. The blood that had been spilled by Taurus's attack suddenly rose from the ground and formed into individual but perfect spheres.
Myerson then pointed his hand at the mages in the shape of a gun and simply said:
"Bang."
Like bullets from a gun, the spheres shot forth with blinding speed. Hey were too fast to dodge.
Scorpio and Taurus found themselves riddled with the blood bullets but moved to protect Natsu and Lucy. Said mages only suffered small but burning cuts to any exposed area not guarded by the celestial spirits.
"What the hell was that!?" Natsu cried out as he grabbed his shoulder in pain.
Taurus and Scorpio collapsed to their knees. They were wounded and their time was running short. Though they may be immortal, the two celestial spirits were drained of the magic that allowed them to stay on the human world. If they were to suffer another damaging attack, they would be forced back to the spirit world.
"Did you like that? It's just something I like to call my Blood Barrage." Myerson said as he hopped off his pile of rubble.
"And that's only a fraction of what I can do."
"Any ideas?" Natsu whispered to Lucy who stood next to her sprits.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking." Lucy muttered as she closely examined Myerson, biting her lip in thought. She could still see the slash across his abdomen from when Taurus struck and his skin still had a charcoal black burn here and there. He could be hurt but it would be difficult. Perhaps if they delivered a serious blow at once like before…then maybe they could…
"Taurus, Scorpio, can you two still fight?" Lucy whispered.
"Y-yes m'lady/We can still fight." Taurus and Scorpio said in unison.
"Good, because I have an idea."
XXXX
Myerson watched the mages with his head cocked in interest.
"Oooooooh, they're planning something! I love it when the prey plans; it makes killing them so much more worth it."
They mages and spirits were closely huddled together. The girl was whispering something while the three boys nodded their heads as she spoke.
"C'mon, don't keep things hidden from me, you're boring me." Myerson taunted.
The group fixed him with one last glare before Natsu suddenly burst forward at Myerson, his hands engulfed in flames.
"That's more like it!" Myerson said as he burst forward with equal speed.
The Dragonslayer and Psychopath collided; Natsu delivering a fierce right hook while narrowly avoiding Myerson's blood spike left cross. Myerson turned into the punch and slashed at Natsu's chest. Natsu was able to avoid the attack but the front of his shirt was ripped in the process. Myerson took the initiative and pounced on Natsu.
"Shit!" Natsu exclaimed, "Fire Dragon's Claw!"
Natsu rolled back and with his flame enhanced feet, pushed Myerson back with a devastating kick.
Myerson tumbled back end over end and slammed into another building. Motionless for only a few seconds, Myerson dislodged himself from the building and landed in a slouched position. Myerson cracked his neck before cackling again.
"Is that the best you can do? And for a second there I thought I had to worry about you."
Natsu smirked.
"Who said you had to worry about me."
"Taurus, Scorpio, now!" Lucy called out.
A sudden gust of wind made Myerson spin around towards Lucy. Scorpio had created his Sand Buster while Myerson had been distracted and was now channeling it around Taurus's axe.
"The boy was just a distraction…the real attack is coming from her!" Myerson thought as Taurus leapt into the air.
Scorpio created a wall of sand around Natsu just as Taurus struck Myerson with the Sand Storm Axe Aldebaran. Smashing his axe down with crushing force, Myerson disappeared in a geyser of sand as several tornadoes of sand soon followed the attack. A fine cloud of dust and smoke soon filled the area.
Scorpio lowered his barrier and Natsu rejoined Lucy.
"I think we got him." Natsu said as Lucy gave a confident nod.
"Nice job Taurus, Scorpio." The two spirits nodded proudly at Lucy.
They all froze however when they heard a very familiar laughter come from the sand.
Before anyone could react, four dark red tendrils shot out from the sand with blinding speed. The first two plunged into Scorpio and Taurus, skewering them through their chests. The attacks used the last of their magic and they began to fade back into their own realm.
"L-Lucy, r-run." Was all Taurus managed to say before he and Scorpio disappeared back to the Spirit World.
The remaining tendrils wrapped around Natsu and Lucy's ankles before the two could defend themselves. The tendrils proceeded to toss the two mages about like they were ragdolls. They were slammed to the ground, into buildings and at one point they were tossed into the air before being violently struck back to earth. The two laid motionless on the ground for what seemed to be an eternity before groaning in agony as they attempted to stand. Lucy began to cough up blood as Natsu tried to move to her.
"L-Luce…hang…i-in there…"
A tendril violently struck Natsu to the ground.
Myerson had other ideas.
The tendrils returned once again this time wrapping themselves around Natsu and Lucy's arms, legs and finally their throats. The tendrils then lifted them up into the air.
"Weak, weak, weak; is that the best you maggots could do!?" Myerson said as he stepped out of the crater he had been in, the tendrils branching out from his back. Myerson, now only clad in his ripped pants and boots, raised his index finger in a "no, no, no" motion.
"I'd hate to admit it but I've gotten rather bored of you two."
Myerson let out a tired sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Oh well…I guess I can always move onto your friends. I'm sure they're dead by now but if they're not..."
Myerson snapped his fingers as if he was struck with inspiration.
"I know, I'll kill you two then maybe the others will let me play with your friends if they're still alive."
Myerson then brought Natsu and Lucy toward him. Natsu and Lucy tried to resist their bonds but the tendrils only tightened more and pulled at their limbs to the point where they might snap. Lucy cried out in pain.
"None of that now…I promise I'll make it quick." Myerson raised his right index finger as it morphed into a razor, sharp blade and slowly dragged it against Lucy's cheek. Lucy whimpered in fear as she felt the blood run from the wound.
She hadn't felt this afraid in a long time.
"Leave her alone you bastard." Natsu managed to choke out.
Myerson turned his attention from Lucy to Natsu. He then extended his hand and slowly began to ground his finger blade into Natsu's shoulder causing him to hiss in pain.
"A fighter to the end aren't we?"
Myerson removed his finger.
"Hey! I just thought of something; want to hear a story before I kill you? No? Too bad! Once upon a time there was this man by the name of Wren Myerson. He was just an average guy who just happened to be on death row for the murder of three people. Then one day, the prison let a group of scientists practice magic on the death row inmates. They were going to die anyways, who cared if a bunch of criminals were sacrificed in the name of science? Well, one day Wren, that's me, was hauled in for a special kind of experiment. I was supposed to die but the experiment backfired. Lowe and behold, I was able to escape the lovely prison I called home. The experiment gave me incredible power, power that truly allowed me to have fun and perfect my craft."
Myerson let out a wistful sigh and let his grin grow wider.
"Good times…good times."
Myerson cracked his neck again.
"Well! Story time's over kids; time to die!"
Myerson pulled his hand back and aimed at Natsu's heart.
"You're first buddy boy!"
"Natsu!" Lucy cried out.
Natsu braced for the attack…that never came.
"Multiple light blade technique!" a voice cried out.
A series of bright slashes cut not only the tendrils binding Natsu and Lucy, but they also cut Wrens hand clean off before it could strike.
"WHAT!?" Wren cried out.
"Teleportation!" Natsu and Lucy disappeared in a flashes of light before…
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" A massive fireball engulfed Myerson in a pyroclastic blast.
Natsu and Lucy reappeared away from the fire. As soon as their feet hit the ground, they collapsed in pain. Lucy had suffered the worst of Wren's attacks but Natsu managed to make his way to her and cradle her.
"Easy Luce, I got you." Natsu said as he gently comforted the blonde spirit mage.
Lucy coughed again; hard this time.
"W-what happened?"
"I don't-"
"Nice shot sis, but I don't think he's down yet." A voice suddenly said.
Natsu and Lucy snapped their heads towards the voice just as two people landed in front of them.
"Hey, I'm just glad you got mom and dad out of the way in time. A second later and I don't think I would have been have able to hold the fire that long."
The two new comers turned to face Natsu and Lucy who gasped in turn when they saw their saviors.
They were staring at mirror images of…themselves? No, they may have looked like Natsu and Lucy…but they were different. And did the boy just say "mom" and "dad"?
"W-who are you people?" Lucy asked before coughing again.
The boy frowned and knelt down in front of Natsu and Lucy.
"Healer's light." The boy muttered.
His hands began to glow a light blue as he extended them towards the two. The two mages couldn't react as they felt a warmth spread over their bodies. Their wounds suddenly healed and they felt their energy return to their once battered bodies.
"I'm sorry" the boy said, "I'm sorry we didn't get here sooner."
Before either Natsu or Lucy could open their mouths, the sound of Myerson's laughter broke the silence.
Myerson, his body charred and smoking stepped out of the ashes of the fireball.
"What's this?! Two more friends to play with?!"
Myerson began to laugh like a giddy school girl.
"Two for two, oh this is my lucky day."
The boy stood up and stepped forward with his sister.
"You two stay back." He said to Natsu and Lucy.
"We've got this." The girl said as she cracked her knuckles.
The two newcomers slowly took offensive stances.
"You ready Lilly?"
Lily Dragneel snorted.
"I was born ready; what about you Igneel?" Lilly said with a smirk.
Igneel Dragneel made a similar smirk that mirrored his sisters…and looked exactly like his father's.
"I'm all fired up."
Without further prompting, the two siblings ran towards Myerson, ready to attack.
