Chapter 6- Guild Meetings- Blue Pegasus
After an exciting morning full of confusion and cosplay, the Derpies finally changed back into their normal clothes and returned back to the guild hall.
"I'm boredddd~" Emma complained immediately as she came into the room, flopping onto a table.
"Me too." Hanna agreed, but not in a whining manner.
"We just got back from a job, so taking another one would be a stupid idea…" Maddie commented, before starting to list off things they could do. "...Go outside-" She said before being cut off by Tiffany.
"Wow, how creative." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes as Hanna raised her pointer finger.
"Actually, depending on what we do, it could be fun."
"OBJECTION!" Emma screamed, startling Hanna and making Maddie jump at least 3 feet into the air.
"Dear lord, tone it down." Maddie yelled, shaking from being surprised.
"Anyways, we can't because the weather… Sucks~" She said, singing the word 'suck.'
"Ooh, I love the rain!" Maddie said, running out of the doors without a second thought.
"No wait-" A loud crackling noise was heard as lightning slashed open the gray sky. Maddie jumped up, and ran back inside.
"We warned you…" Tiffany snickered.
"Maddie's stupid~" Emma laughed.
"YOU LITTLE!" She yelled, and started chasing Emma around the hall.
"Ooh! I love tag!" Natsu said, as he and Happy also started chasing after Maddie.
"Aye sir!"
"Everyone here's an idiot…" Tiffany and Hanna said, jinxing each other.
"You owe me a coke!" Hanna said, pointing at Tiffany.
"Are there even cokes in Fiore?"
"...crap. YOU WIN THIS TIME."
"... right…"
Maddie managed to catch up to Emma, accidentally choking her with by hanging onto her hoodie.
"Animal Soul: Cat!" Maddie yelled, causing white kitty paws to replace her hands and big white ears to sprout from her head. Of course- a white tail tied with a bell jingled behind her.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first time the guild has seen Maddie's magic for more than 3 seconds?" Tiffany asked.
"They've seen mine and Emma's properly but neither of you two," Hanna replied.
"Seems about time they get a good look," Tiffany replied, calmly equipping out the same giant scythe that had sliced the two 'laser bears' in half. "Shut the hell up or off with your heads."
The two froze. Maddie gave one last gash to Emma's back and lost total focus, grabbing her head in fear of the mage before her. She turned fully into a cat and cowered under the table.
Tiffany's aura turned black. "I see you, Neko-chan~" she sung in an eerie voice. After Tiffany took a single step closer, Maddie bolted and climbed up Natsu, resting on his shoulder. Natsu was taller than Tiffany, if only barely.
Safe.
"Damn you, mortal!"
"What the hell?" Natsu said, looking at Maddie resting on her shoulder. Suddenly, Maddie transformed back, crushing Natsu when she had returned back to being human.
"I'm sorry, Nya~" Maddie said, lifting one arm. And standing up. She dusted off her skirt, and looked at Tiffany.
"Animal Soul: Er... Puffin!"
A puff of purple smoke appeared... revealing a platypus.
"Fuck!" Maddie screeched, attempting to waddle away.
Tiffany laughed maniacally before reaching towards her, only to be blasted by a miniature blue attack orb that didn't do much damage.
"Shit... I angered the beast..." Maddie cursed, shuffling away as fast as she could. Tiffany roared in anger.
"Okay... we should help now." Hanna laughed nervously, slightly fearful for Maddie's health.
"Yea... that seems like a good idea," Emma agreed. Hanna walked over to them, and slowly pulled out the strawberry cake that they always kept with them in case Tiffany went on a rampage. The demon immediately stopped, and accepted her offering, causing Maddie to collapse on the ground in relief. Emma on the other hand was holding her golden pistol and aiming it to her head in boredom.
"Emma what are you doing?!" Mira yelled, terrified.
"Don't worry, I have no bullets in my gun at the moment so everything's fine~" She replied holding her gun in a ninety degree angle to her arm. As she made the gun disappear into thin air, Mira let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, I think we should actually do something today," Hanna said, lifting the spell, "Hell, I don't care if we just walk around town until our feet give out."
"But what will we do then?" Tiffany asked looking around, ex-quipping her scythe now that her rampage was over. Hanna shrugged as Emma flopped back in a table.
"Ugggggggggggh," Emma sighed, then she shot up. "I have an idea!"
"What?" Maddie asked, plopping down in a chair.
"I wanna meet other guild members! Like a greet an' meet, to get to know them better!" Emma suggested, smiling.
"Well, its better than nothing…" Hanna added, Emma stood up and stood in a heroic pose.
"PRAISE ME PEASANTS!" Emma ordered, Tiffany just slapped her. Hard. Making Emma whine and sit back on top of the table, mushing around her check to make the sting go way.
"How the hell are we even gonna get the guilds to come here?" Maddie asked, phasing back as Hanna lifted her spell.
"You forgot who we have here." Hanna said, pointing at Tiffany.
"What?" Tiffany asked, blinking.
"Ultimate black-mailer here." Maddie agreed. "It's worth a try."
"So…" Emma asked. "Why are we here again?"
"Welp, it was your idea." Tiffany said. "But did we really have to start with Blue Pegasus?" Hanna shuddered at the thought.
"Here's the plan." Maddie whispered, as the four of them huddled together. "We go in, we say hi, and then we bolt out of there before Bob does anything to scar us mentally, okay?"
"Everybody got your wills written?" Tiffany whispered solemnly. "You know, in case we don't make it out of there alive?"
"If I die." Emma began reading, fake-sobbing. "I leave all of my possessions to my twin sister Hanna, Madeline Kelly, and Tiffany Qian to share equally. Except for my cakes. Give them all to Tiffany because we know that if I didn't, she would find some way to bring me back to life, and torture me to death."
Suddenly, the door to the Blue Pegasus guild hall slammed open.
"Why, it must be my lucky day!" Hibiki called, sparkles appearing behind him. "Such beautiful ladies standing at the door of our guild!" Then, Tiffany's fisted hand happened to collide with his face.
"Whoops." Tiffany smirked calmly as Hibiki rubbed his cheek.
"We're looking for the civilized people." Hanna said.
"Oh, you mean Master Bob?"
"Oh helllll no!" Emma screeched, waving her hands.
"We're having a party and we need you to get all your guild members," Tiffany stated.
"And why should I do that?" Hibiki asked, before grasping Tiffany's hand. "Of course, if you go on a date with me, I'll gladly ac-"
"Because I have your baby pictures." Tiffany interrupted, pulling her hand out of Hibiki's grasp and slapping him.
"Why should I be worried?"
"The embarrassing ones." Tiffany continued.
Maddie craned her head and got a glimpse of the picture Tiffany had. She fell onto the floor laughing.
"I've been shot by baby pictures! I need a breathing machine!" She laughed, rolling around on the floor, kicking her legs wildly and gasping for air.
"Ehh~" Emma said, also leaning over, only to have Tiffany swat her away. "But I wanna see too!" Tiffany turned, ignoring the girl, and instead showing it to her twin sister.
Hanna joined Maddie rolling on the ground.
By now, both Hibiki and Emma were both very intrigued. Suddenly, Ren, Eve, and Ichiya appeared from thin air practically.
"Oh god, anyone but him…" Tiffany grimaced, clutching the photos to her chest and refusing to make eye-contact with Ichiya. Emma on the other hand, was frozen to the spot with disgust (and yes, this actually can happen). Maddie helped Hanna up, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Okay, let's go before-" A finger poked the back of her neck, Emma shrieked and fell to the floor.
"RUN, WE'LL COME BACK FOR HER LATER!" Tiffany screeched, shoving Hanna and Maddie out the door.
"I'm sorry, Emma!"
Emma looked up to see the 3 boys looking down at her and Ichiya sobbing in the corner.
"FUCK YOUUUUU!" Emma yelled from the guild as the other 3 ran away.
"So." Hanna whispered, as the three girls peeked through a window from their perch in a random tree. "How are we gonna rescue her?"
"I refuse to change into any animal and go in there." Maddie stated firmly, ruling out that possibility. Tiffany stared thoughtfully at where Emma was currently sprawled unconscious on a random couch, as Ichiya and the Trimens gathered around her.
"Welp." Tiffany began. "I believe I may or may not have brought a grappling hook with me… you think that'll work?"
"Better than getting sent to the shelter..." Maddie groaned, gripping at her temples.
"Why the hell did you bring a grappling hook?" Hanna asked, staring at Tiffany weirdly.
"Well, because grappling hooks are amazing, and it makes you feel like Batman." The girl replied, re-quipping the rope into her hands, and unravelling it. "So, on three, we throw and pull? If we miss, I say we sacrifice Emma… forever." The girls could only nod, as they were honestly out of ideas at this point. Tiffany handed the rope over to Maddie.
"You throw." She muttered. "I can't hit a target to save my life." Maddie looked around frantically, before shoving the rope to Hanna.
"Nope!" Maddie denied. "Let Hanna do it." Hanna's sweatdrop slid down her face, as she watched the other two argue. After a while, she couldn't take it, and snatched the rope from both of them.
"I hope you both realize." Hanna said. "That I could just write an enchantment on the rope, and make it go invisible and straight to Emma…"
"But... it might accidently get Ichiya germs... and we'd have to TOUCH it..." Tiffany trailed off, shuddering at the mere thought of it.
"Oh my god, I have fucking hand sanitizer for you," Hanna growled, taking out a bottle of Aloe sanitizer.
"Tch... Fine." Tiffany replied, rubbing some of the green liquid onto her hands.
"Dark Ericture: Invisible!" Hanna chanted, drawing runes onto the rope.
"That's not invisible... that's green," Tiffany stated, staring at the green rope, as Hanna wrote the incantations for the rope to hook straight onto Emma.
"It's invisible to everyone else, dimwit," Maddie said, as if it was painfully obvious.
"Ah... no... I actually messed up the runes... it's just green." Hanna explained.
Tiffany punched Maddie in the side of the head, letting out a triumphant "HAH!".
"Either way, we can still use the grappling hook to get Emma. Also, FYI, this was a horrible plan. Not saving Emma, Emma's plan about meeting all the guilds." Hanna said, receiving agreeing nods from Maddie and Tiffany. The Dark Écriture mage crossed out some letters on the rope, before rewriting them, causing the rope to turn different shades of purple before blending in with the surroundings.
"Ok, here's our plan," Maddie said, looking at the hook. "First, we throw the hook, and hope it does what we want it to do. Then, take Emma and RUN LIKE HELL."
"But the blackmail-" Tiffany began, only to be cut off by Maddie.
"Oh forget the blackmail." She waved off. "It won't work on Blue Pegasus, it's not like they have any dignity left." And if you watched closely through the window, just as Maddie said those words, most of the Blue Pegasus' members sneezed, before going back to their daily lives.
Hanna shifted the rope in her hand, trying to get a good grip on it. Squeezing her eyes shut, she took aim, and threw.
The hook flew through the open window, right over Ichiya and the Trimen's heads, and hooked onto Emma's precious hoodie.
"We got her!" Hanna cheered, handing the rope over to Tiffany so she could reel Emma in.
"I can't pull her out with them still there!" Tiffany protested. "The next least important person is Maddie, I say she goes and creates a distraction!" That being said, Tiffany promptly shoved Maddie off the tree, and watched as she landed on her butt.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Maddie screeched, causing more birds to abandon their perch in the trees.
"Did you hear that?" Jenny muffled asked
"What? No." Some stranger replied.
"Oh shit." Maddie cursed. "Animal Soul- uh, uh Puffin!" A shroud of light-colored smoke engulfed her, and as it cleared away...
Tiffany began to laugh hysterically.
"You're a horse! Yeee!" Hanna screeched, waving her arms around happily.
"Oh my god!" Tiffany laughed, bringing a hand to her mouth. "A pegasus? They're gonna molest you to death!"
"Thanks for the fucking support!" Maddie yelled back angrily, but to them, it just sounded like a bunch of neighs and whines, causing the two to burst into even more laughter.
At this moment, Jenny, Ichiya, and the Trimen decided it would be a great idea to slam open the guild door. They were greeted with a screaming pegasus, flapping its wings wildly and shouting curses in horse language.
Meanwhile, Emma could be seen dangling from her hoodie from a tree.
"Dark Ecriture: Wings!" Hanna shouted, as her runes formed what seemed like pixely wings on her back.
"Requip: Space Armor!" Tiffany yelled, changing armor, before leaping into the air. As she landed, what seemed like ripples (A/N Think of Minerva's magic) formed and expanded underneath her and Emma's unconscious body. "Come on Maddie, get out of there!" The girl/pegasus didn't need to be told twice. She took off, flying up to greet her friends.
"No! Pegasus-chan, come baaaack!" Jenny called from the ground.
"HELL FRICKING NO!" Hanna called back for Maddie, as the girl currently was incapable of speaking.
"Which guild are we going to go to next?" Tiffany asked, as she dangled Emma from where she was floating in the air, pulling her body up, and dropping it down, occasionally knocking it against some trees.
"How about Lamia Scale?" Hanna suggested, watching Tiffany toss Emma's body onto Maddie's back, much to the girl's chagrin.
"I say Quatro Cerberus." Tiffany said, grimacing. "Let's get the worst ones out of the way first."
"WILD!" Hanna shouted, fist pumping the air, however, a wave of silence met her, as the four continued through the skies. "God dammit you guys are supposed to say 'FOUR'!"
"Rejected." Tiffany grumbled, as they descended upon what seemed to be Quatro Cerberus' guild hall. "Only Emma would respond to that." The three girls (that were still conscious) prepared themselves for what would happen next.
And… that's it. Trust us, we'd do more, but these chapters are getting really, really long (And also, amberleaf4100 has to work on the fanfictions that she's been neglecting… *coughforabouthalfayearcough*).
