Viola sees the man and tries to confront him but it has too late, he had already dug the knife into her throat and drug it a crossed her neck, hitting a major artery. It sprayed blood everywhere, she twitched violently as he dropped her body afterwards, staring us down.

Viola just stared in disbelief, Anise had her eyes covered by Peony as he winces away just like Guy did. Forte froze in place for a second in sadness before closing his eyes in anger, trying to calm down but ended up pulling out his bow and arrows. Emotionless, Jade and I weren't fazed.

I've seen blood, it doesn't hurt people, just comes from them. Another man turns around with a crazed look on his face. His eyes seemed as empty as his remorse.

He darts by us to a group of other murderers in which one grabs a random small child who was mourning the death of his stabbed dog. The boy struggled and screamed, knowing his death was here, he slowly started to punch and kick harder. "No more steps closer or this boys brains scatter."

"We're not afraid to kill, you know!" A tall woman from a different group yells as she shoots fonic artes at us. Forte and Guy protected us by reflecting them, Jade tried to hit her with a blessed tears and he ended up running.

Soldiers started crowding around them from behind, knowing quite well that they saw them approaching. "What point are you proving by doing this, killing innocent people and animals?!" Forte wasn't happy about the thought of killing in a public area in front of a small child, but neither were any of us.

We all readied ourselves for a battle. "Now!" Viola yells while launching herself to the side, grabbing her spear from her large, feathered coat.

I couldn't think of anything else to do. "Negative gate!" I shouted. Right before it appeared Guy swooped in after the child instantaneously after mad man let go and ran straight towards Guy.

The men split off from each other and tried everything they could to get away, Fonic artes, smoke bombs. 3 out of 17 of them got away. But more headed into the castle, even more were taking down soldiers over at the military base.

Jade said this must be a suicide mission.

Many of the killers died almost immediately.

The boy was shaking and unsure what to do or think, he wouldn't stop crying or whimpering. "He reminds me of you Guy." Anise whispers beside the frightened and shaking Guy, truly not over his fear, while scooping up the kid and putting the boy on Liger. He was scared to death at first but quickly snuggled into Ligers fur. "Find them before they escape, I'm going to report this to others that Grand Chokmah is in a state of emergency. I'll meet up with Florian and Hymn later. "Much to their irritation, Peony gives Forte and Jade a heavy slap on the back before leaving with 7 guards surrounding him.

We all split up into groups, Viola and Anise. Forte and Jade. Lastly Guy and I ran towards different men going in different directions. Guy was running besides Liger before hopping on and telling me to tell Liger to hop on the roof and jump down on the man, I told Liger the same thing. He understood. He jumped up on the roof and ran on it, the man not knowing where we are slows down until he looks above him to see the reason for the forming shadow above his head and had a 300 lb Liger land on him, breaking his left arm and left collar bone in the process. Liger grabs his shirt and tugs him to the military base, we hop off of Liger and walk side by side with the criminal, not letting him out of our sight.

He appeared to be thinking, Guy has his eyes in him. Suddenly a light appears under Liger. "Flame burst!" I toss the boy over away from us. He gladly runs far away from the fonic arte. We all get stuck in the flames, and when it's over Liger's still on fire. He's freaking out and is trying to put the fire out, Guy is trying to catch up to the man, but he's nowhere in sight. I run over to water and tell Liger to get it, he does after a second of hesitation. He plummets down in the water for a few seconds before popping his head out of it. I jump in also because my uniform was still on fire. The boy is running up towards us and hands us some miracle gels. Florian must have given Anise them for the injured and She must have given them some of them to him. I can feel my scalp burning so I dunk my head in, when my head surfaced I see Jade and Forte standing in front of us, obviously upset, "Did the others get away?"

"The man we chased used his Mystic arte on us, we had no choice but to get back to everyone else and see how they're doing." Forte says. "W-Why are you in water?" "He used flame burst on us, Liger and I were on fire."

I use a miracle gel on myself and squeeze the water out of my hair. I look down at Liger, the dark puddle in the water red. Liger has his eyes closed and is in pain. "He's not doing well…"
