"R-Reve, look outside!" Luke shouted, standing outside along with the rest of White Eclipse, pointing towards the lacrima screen.
"What is it…?" Reve walked outside, catching the tail end of Aiden's speech, his eyes widening somewhat after the speech was over. "I knew something was off about that girl…!"
"What are we going to do?" Aira asked, looking over at Reve.
"Wait, what?" Reve looked over at Aira, raising a brow. "What do you mean what are we going to do? This isn't our problem."
"Uh...I think when something is named, Fiore's End, I think it's a big problem," Cygnus replied.
"He's bluffing," Reve stated. "I know that girl is strong enough to injure Sidney, but there's no way in hell she can bring about Fiore's end."
"He said TARTAROS," Luke flailed his arms. The mention of Tartaros caused Arc and Taya to exchange glances.
"Tartaros…" Aira looked over at Arc and Taya. "Isn't that where…"
"Yes, Arc and I are form Tartaros, Aira," Taya replied. "But it was so we could get away from stuff like this!"
"Didn't think they'd get involved with something like this." Arc admitted. "I wonder what's going on over there..."
"What are we going to do then?" Selene asked, looking over at the White Eclipse mages.
"Tch…I still don't think we should do anything…but with Tartaros involved, it's hard to pass this up…" Reve crossed his arms tapping his foot.
"Reve…" Master Calium walked out of the guild.
"Master?" Nami looked at Calium, who had a stern look on his face.
"I have to warn you…those two guilds are very dangerous on their own…" Calium said. "Together…and with the girl, it may be Fiore's end…Silent Sanctum is not a guild to be messed with. If their guild master allowed this, then..."
"We're not going to let that happen!" Luke shouted.
"Yeah!" Kuro nodded in agreement. "We're gonna do something, right Reve?"
Reve stay silent for a few minutes, "Ugh…If this wasn't so serious I'd say no…but we can't pass this up…"
"So we're going!?" Nami asked excitedly.
"We can't all go…" Reve said. "Someone's gotta hold the fort down."
"And I'm not letting Nami go…" Taya said rather protectively.
"I'll leave the selection to you, Reve…" Calium nodded before walking back inside.
"Heh…alright guys…judging from what the old man just said…this mission could probably be our last…" Reve said with a slight smirk.
"Probably? You sound like you doubt us," Michio replied.
"Of course not, because I'm here." Reve nodded. "But, just in case that off chance actually happens, some of you gotta stay back and hold down the fort…"
"So, who are you picking?" Takeru asked.
"Simple. Zalen, Luke, Aira, Heather, Cygnus, Jaxon, Waiston, Takeru, Selena, Waiston, Jack, and Arc, you feeling up for it?"
Arc nodded slowly. "I'll fight."
"Gimme a sec!" Jack shouted. The drunk then ran inside the guild, grabbed a six pack of beer, and then ran back outside with the beer at his side. "I would hate to do this sober!"
"What? You're not taking me?" Taya asked.
"Why should I? You might just leave during a fight I have…" Reve replied turning his back to Taya.
"I…" Taya sighed, realizing what this was about. "I left for a reason…"
"Oh yeah? What reason!?" Reve asked, the tension between the two causing everyone to go silent.
"…I couldn't stand watching her hurt you…" Taya replied in a low tone. "I was there until you brought the magnum out…I just wanted to end the fight if it meant you were okay…"
"…." Reve turned around slowly, smirking just slightly. "I'm Reve Volver, remember?" In response to that, Taya couldn't help but let out a very faint chuckle.
"So, are we going?" Jaxon asked, wanting to move the subject along.
"Better question," Luke interrupted. "How ARE we going to get there?
"It's too far away for a transport tornado…" Jaxon frowned slightly.
"Don't worry about that," Reve replied, looking down the mountain trail. "I know a guild that should be able to lend us a hand…" Reve turned around, only to have a hand like shadow vector slap his back.
"Get 'em," Taya said with a smirk as the others walked off.
"..." Calium was silent. "Silent Sanctum. Just what are you planning, Jikan...?"
.

Reve led the White Eclipse group he selected down to the base of the mountain. White Eclipse was in the mountains based behind one of Fiore's well known guilds, Blue Pegasus. Luke took the lead, knocking on the front door a few times. "…Are you sure he's here?" Luke asked, looking over at Reve.
"He should be…" Reve replied.
"Come in!" A voice said through the door.
"…You heard the voice," Luke shrugged, and then opened the door, looking around the inside of Blue Pegasus. "Wow this place gives off that fruity feeling…"
"So it's not just me that feels it too then…" Heather curled her lip slightly as she looked around.
Before Selene and Aira could do anything, the Trimens, Eve, Hibiki, and Ren. "Oh my…what luck have we here with two beauties walking inside?" Hibiki asked.
"UM…" Selene raised an eyebrow, using her hand to shoo the three womanizers away. "You can go now…"
"Yeah…" Aira took a tiny step back. "We're not here for you guys…at all…"
"What would it take to change your mind?" Eve asked, taking Selene's hand, looking her in the eyes.
"Nothing! Get off me! And go away!" Selene withdrew her hands form Eve's grasp, turning away and huffing. "Geez…"
"You're just like a snowflake…cold, yet beautiful…" Eve replied, not even phased by Selene not looking at him.
"….Are these guys for real?" Luke raised an eyebrow at the trio of womanizers.
"…Where's Ichiya…?" Reve asked, not feeling too comfortable around this place.
"Oh, he won't be back for a little while," Master Bob replied from the couch. "He went out on a mission, but I do think it shouldn't be a long wait."
"Thanks Ma-" Reve started.
"That's a guy…" Luke whispered over to Reve.
"...Thanks man." Reve's eyes widened slightly before he turned around.
"So…we're stuck here with these…things…until this guy gets back!?" Selene said things in reference to the Trimens who were currently around the two girls. Eve, Hibiki, and Ren were oogling their beauty as they tended to.
"HA!" Cygnus couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Oh, aren't you a handsome young man…" Bob said as he leaned in towards Cygnus.
"EEEH…" Cygnus leaned away awkwardly.
"I've been seeing a lot of these kinds of people lately..." Heather blinked, though speaking was a bad idea as Eve immediately flocked over to her. "...No."
"Tch…Is there estrogen in this place at all or…" Luke started. Luke then looked around, spotting Blue Peagsus' model, Jenny leaning against the wall. Hearts immediately replacing his eyes. "Oh hello..."
"Down, Luke," Selene replied.
"Jenny!" The Trimens shifted their attention to Jenny, who was in her standard dress.
"You guys were drooling over those three?" Jenny asked, looking up towards Selene, Aira, and Heather.
"We weren't enjoying it," Heather added.
"Eh...they aren't too bad looking, but nothing to oogle over," Jenny replied, waving a hand dismissively.
"Those sound like fighting words," Cygnus chuckled slightly.
"Fighting?" Jenny giggled lightly before sitting on the couch, crossing her legs as she leaned back, looking as though she was in a modeling position. The Trimens immediately started to nose bleed at the sight.
"Oh, come on now!" Luke shouted to the three males. "I know she's hot but that's nothing to nose bleed over!" Luke turned around, only to see Jenny in a two piece bikini now, laying on the couch in a seductive-ish pose. "OH HELLO," Luke and Waiston started to nose bleed at that sight. Waiston stared openly over at Jenny and had no shame in doing such a thing.
"O-Oh my..." Zalen's glasses started to fog up.
"You can't be serious..." Reve groaned.
"See? Nothing to fight about," Jenny smirked over at the two girls.
"That's just Jenny for you." Hibiki said with a prideful look.
"Truly, the most beautiful girl in all of Fiore." Eve added.
"Jenny is beautiful, but Sherri..." Ren appreciated Jenny's beauty, but he was a man to be wed! So his thoughts could not go anywhere else.
Selene stayed silent, giving Jenny a "e.ê" kind of look. "..."
Aira looked over at Selene, raising an eyebrow. "I think she's insulting our looks without insulting us..."
"I think so too..." Selene whispered back over to Aira.
"What are you two whispering about?" Luke asked, wiping his nose to rid himself of the nose bleed.
Selene and Aira didn't respond, instead they took a step forward, looking at Jenny. "You're on," Selene said.
"Wait...you two actually want to face off against me?" Jenny blinked, a confident smirk tugging her lips.
"...Are they serious?" Luke asked.
"God I hope so..." Waiston replied with no shame, most likely in his hormonal teenager stage.
"We don't have time for this..." Reve groaned.
"We don't really have a choice if that guy isn't here..." Jaxon replied.
"I'm not complaining," Waiston said.
"Neither am I..." Zalen replied, cleaning his glasses off.
"I don't understand what's happening..." Takeru blinked cluelessly.
Jenny stood across from Selene and Aira, still in her swimsuit. "You're on!"
With that, Jenny vs. Aira and Selene in a model off started. Jenny laid down on her back, spreading her arms out as she laid in a different two piece bathing suit, causing the Trimens to nose bleed even more, staining the red carpet. Selene and Aira magically appeared in bikini's as well, causing a few of the males in White Eclipse to nose bleed. "Oh my..." Jaxon said as he stared. "The female anatomy is quite interesting..."
Jack already consumed a beer, and his cheeks were tinted pink from the alcohol consumption. Though, he stared at the three girls oddly, mostly because in his current drunken state he was seeing three of each of them, so he wasn't quite sure how to feel about it. "..."
Arc could hear everyone's reactions, though he couldn't see them due to the bandages over his heads. "I don't know what's going on...I'm not sure I want to..."
The "battle" continued for about ten minutes, both sides seemingly tied. "You two are too bad..." Jenny smirked slightly.
"Hmph..." Selene was fully clothed now, along with Aira.
"MEN!" Ichiya opened the door, holding a bag of jewels in his possession.
"Oh thank god he's here!" Reve sighed a sigh of relief.
"Welcome back, Ichiya!" Bob said excitedly. "We have guest!"
"Guest?" Ichiya looked over at the White Eclipse mages. "For me?"
"Mhm!" Bob nodded.
"Did you see that broadcast?" Luke asked.
"Ah, yes, I did. Men. It's quite threatening...I wish there was something I could do to help my Erza-chan..." Ichiya replied.
"Actually, I think there's something you can do," Reve replied.
"Men?" Ichiya looked over at Reve.
"Basically, we heard you had a ship, and we were wondering if you'd take us there. To the center of Fiore," Reve answered.
"My ship? Oh! That? Wait!" Ichiya then glared at the White Eclipse mages, remembering their competition with Fairy Tail. "You're not going to hurt my Erza-chan, are you...?"
"N-no! Of course not!" Luke replied.
"Good...because if you did...I would bring a wrath upon you so intense you will fear the scent of any parfum..." Ichiya said, his tone obviously threatening.
"Oh my...he's serious..." Heather was taken aback slightly by Ichiya's sudden change in attitude.
"I-I promise we won't!" Selene nodded a few times.
"Please help us!" Aira pleaded.
"As long as I have your word, men,". Ichiya nodded. "Trimens, get her ready!"
"Yes, sir!" Eve, Ren, and Hibiki all said at the same time.
