Preparations for War

*Lunsai grabs Kasa's arm*

Lunsai:<( Let's TRY not to piss anyone off here. By that I mean please shut up.)>

Lumyr: <I'd prefer that to heartlessly killing and mindlessly obeying.>

Winston: <Can we kill them now? I really wanna shut him up.>

Kasa: <(Why? He's wounded and doesn't look all that tough. This'll be a walk in the park!)>

"This IS crazy. If you're doing to rush to your deaths don't drag Rhea into it!" Ryzell yells angrily at Allina.

Cursed Jungle, Northern Leudella

*Crone grins, letting out some laughs.*

Crone: <Ah, Lumyr, Lumyr... Kill him. Them.>

*Olympe draws her twin swords.*

=====

Royal Palace, Nymphe

Rhea: <Ryzell!>

Allina: <No, it's all right. He's right. Let's go.>

*Allina walks out of the palace, seeing Kelphy and two soldiers are riding three of the several horses waiting outside, Kelvin watching them with a smile on his face.*

*Lunsai lets go of Kasa's arm and puts her hand on her knife*

*Lumyr summons 2 purple soldiers, heading for Kasa and Lunsai, and then dashes towards Crone. Winston shoots a laser blast at Olympe.*

Kasa: <What the hell?>

*Kasa gets into a defensive stance.*

"I'm sorry Rhea. I... I don't want to lose you again" Ryzell sighs.

Ranmaru follows Allina.

Cursed Jungle, Northern Leudella

*Crone leaps forward, releasing a blast of light energy into Lumyr, while Olympe sinks into her own shadow to dodge, the shadow shooting across the ground towards Winston.*

=====

Royal Palace, Nymphe

*Soon, they're all riding their horses through the woodlands in silence, towards the lake.*

*Lumyr takes the hit, getting sent back.*

Lumyr: <Ngh!>

*He summons another soldier while being sent back. It catches him and throws him towards Crone. Lumyr summons another soldier, from behind Crone, whom slashes at his back while Lumyr also slashes from the front.*

=====

*Winston activates his jetpack and flies up into the trees, firing another blast at the shadow.*

Who ever went with is in silence... somewhere Alto and his group are also probably doing something.

*Lunsai uses psy to attempt to throw the soldiers backward*

Enkidu leaped in between Crone and Lumyr, holding his staff like a spear aimed at Lumyr's chest. From the end of his staff he launched a head-sized ball of fire.

Cursed Jungle, Northern Leudella

*The shadow spikes upwards, sharp as a spear, out of the resulting cloud of smoke, attempting to stab through Winston. Crone turns around and blasts the clone.*

=====

Royal Palace, Nymphe

*After a while, they're out of the forest line, with the lake ahead. Rhea widens her eyes as a small tidal wave rises from the surface, towering above them.*

"That's not a good sign" Ranmaru says rather deadpan.

*Lumyr summons another soldier in front of himself to take the attack for him, and before fading away, launches Lumyr into the air where he summons 2 more soldiers to drop from the sky and slash at Crone and Enkidu; the soldier Crone hit fades away.*

=====

*Winston jumps out of the way and fires off another blast at the shadow.*

=====

*Both of them are blown back, but quickly jump back to their feet. Kasa charges at one and gets locked in a sword struggle with it. The other one prepares to charge at Lunsai again, picking up its speed.*

Cursed Jungle, Northern Leudella

*A white wing appears on Crone's back, disintegrating into many white feathers that shoot towards the soldiers and Lumyr and swirl around them before exploding violently. The blast forces Olympe out of the shadow with a groan. She crosses her blades and shoots a beam of dark energy at Winston.*

=====

Royal Palace, Nymphe

*Rhea's eyes turn orange and all the horses turn around, but Kelphy and Allina pull on the reins, forcing theirs to continue around the lake.*

Kelphy: <I'm s-sorry!>

*Lunsai stands her ground, and draws her knife. She then uses Psy to try and prevent the soldier from getting any closer*

*Lumyr surrounds himself in a barrier and protects himself, and then, after the explosion is done, breaks it and sheathes his sword, then puts both hands together to fire a large ball of purple energy towards Enkidu and Crone.*

=====

*Winston attempts to force the beam back with his own beam of concentrated energy.*

=====

*The soldier slows down and eventually comes to a halt. Kasa manages to overcome the one he's fighting and push it to the ground.*

"Has the princess gone mad!?" Ryzell slams his hands together but nothing happens. "Shit I'm still too low on mana!"

"Crazy women. I'll get them" Ranmaru jumps off his horse and a nightmare forms from the shadows under him allowing him to give chase.

Enkidu shielded himself from Crone's explosion and looked back at Lumyr in time to see him fire his attack. Not wasting a moment, he brought his staff to bear and fired a continuous stream of flames to intercept the blast.

Cursed Jungle, Northern Leudella

*Crone grows white wings and flies over the attacks as they clash, firing a beam of scorching light energy into Lumyr's head from the palm of his left hand. Meanwhile, Winston and Olympe's beams also clash, resulting in a large cloud of smoke. Ice dust starts swirling around the general area and a small iceberg flash freezes in the middle of the clearing, shattering to reveal Aera and Ace.*

Aera: <What the fuck is going on here?!>

=====

Royal Palace, Nymphe

Rhea: <W-Wait!>

*Rhea's eyes shift again, and both her and Ryzell's bodies glow orange as they hover off of the horses and into the sky. The horses continue to run away like crazy as the tsunami hits the shore. Rhea flies after Ranmaru.*

*Lunsai runs up and slashes at the soldier she held back with Psy*

Lunsai:[ Ace! I'm..no, we're going to murder him.]

"Your power fills me with warmth Rhea, you know that right?" Ryzell smiles as they fly after Kelphy, Allina, and Ranmaru.

*Lumyr summons another soldier quickly and forces it to take the hit from him. Now free-falling, he summons two more to jump off of and swing into the trees, landing on a thin branch.*

=====

*Winston jumps off and back down to the ground.*

=====

*It attempts to bring its sword down to block, but is too slow and is hit, then vanishes; At the same time, Kasa runs the other one through the chest and it also disappears.*

Lumyr would find that as soon as he landed the thin branch was incinerated by a large ball of flames. Enkidu was standing nearby with a savage grin on his face, catching his breath.
