  *Lezard stood outside the tavern, listening to the lively environment inside.*

  Lezard: "I better go back in for a little sidequest later on in the story." *He giggled and turned back around, entering The Guild's Silver Tavern.*

  Keeper: *She noticed Lezard walking back up to the bar-like counter, causing her to roll her eyes in a friendly manner.* "That was quick."

  Lezard: "Actually, I'm here for an optional sidequest. Is there anything I can do?"

  Keeper: "Well-" *She looked to her side, staring at pieces of paper on a large board.* "If you're going to the other continent, there is a simple delivery quest. And it happens to be in The Skyler's Isle."

  Lezard: "Yay me." *He nodded his head in an eager-like manner.* "I accept this death-defying quest."

  Keeper: *She chuckled.* "Death defying? It's a delivery-"

  Lezard: "Oooo-" *He placed the back of his hand on his forehead.* "Will Lezard survive such a tale? Stay tuned to find out!"

  Keeper: *She shook her head and handed Lezard something hand-sized wrapped in skin coloured sheets.* "Here."

  Lezard: "Why hasn't someone done this already?"

  Keeper: "No ships? Laziness?" *She shrugged her shoulders.* "No reward."

  Lezard: "There's no reward?"

  Keeper: "And their request was posted by anonymous."

  Lezard: "How will Lezard know who to deliver this to?"

  Keeper: "And that answers ya question." *She leant on the bar with a growing smirk.*

  Lezard: "Oh.."

  Keeper: "Only information I can give, is that his choice in garments is different."

  Lezard: *He nodded his head with an understanding smile.* "That's all Lezard needs to know. Thankies once again."

  Keeper: "How many times do I need to tell you to get out?" *She smiled, watching Lezard hobble away without a word.*

  Lezard: *He pushed open the swinging doors and placed the object in his robes.* "Now! Time to get some fresh air before disembarking on my little adventure."

  ----------

  *Blake, Tara, Tyson, Synthoss and Quintess stood in a large circle, looking at each other.*

  Synthoss: "Why have you gathered us?" *She placed her hand on her whip, implying that's how they communicate.*

  Tara: "Yeah, Blake. Why?"

  Blake: "The Consultant isn't happy with our progress and wants us to take them on one by one."

  Quintess: "As in all of us?"

  Blake: "Yea."

  Synthoss: "Where would they be?"

  Tara: "Probably in Silver Wind Island, and even if they are, we don't know where to start looking."

  Quintess: "Tara brings up a good point."

  Synthoss: "We also don't know if they are by themselves."

  Tyson: "Tssk." *He panted heavily, catching Blake's attention.* "There's two of them."

  Blake: "Huh?"

  Tara: "..." *She silently stared at Tyson in a disgusted-like manner.* (If he wasn't able to kill one of them-)

  Tyson: *He patted his waist, drawing the guild's attention to his whip.* "It's okay. It's slowly healing."

  Quintess: "Your whip, it's snapped?" *She spoke in shock.*

  Synthoss: "I thought our whips were indestructible."

  Tara: (Surprised about his whip? I had to use tiny Astragon stitches to attach his gross fat arm back together.) *She thought to himself in disgust.*

  Blake: "So, you confronted them?" *He sounded unimpressed.*

  Tyson: "I was avenging Zazark!" *His fat shook with his enthusiastic body motion.*

  Blake: *He readied to say something mean and noticed the twins looking at him.* "Well.. OK."

  Tara: *She discreetly smirked.* (A member is down, Blake. Fufufu, I'll be taking your spot soon enough.)

  Synthoss: "What happened?"

  Tyson: "I challenged the kid and the swordsman."

  Tara: "Fufufu! You lost to the child?"

  Tyson: *He shook his head.* "They performed a successful Hi-Ougi, using such a powerful technique right when I was about to kill the kid."

  Synthoss: "They can Hi-Ougi now?" *She glanced at each guild member.* "This guild might become a problem."

  Blake: "Exactly why the Consultant has ordered this."

  Quintess: "I've heard rumours that Kath has died."

  Blake: "We should focus on this mission."

  Synthoss: *She glanced at Tyson, discreetly forming fists.* (Everyone laughs at him because of his weight.. But I like it.. Is there something wrong with me?)

  Tyson: "It will take a while for my Neurons to restore the whip. I won't be able to attack them with my weapon."

  Blake: "Your ability and Flurry Styx will help us out quite sexily."

  Tara: "So where do we go?" *She spoke on her breath, as if she was getting bored.*

  Tyson: "The Twilight Forest. I know exactly where to go."

  Synthoss: "Let's go." *She stepped forward, as if she was eager to go.*

  Blake: "Rightio. Time for their demise, fufufu." *He smirked and flashstepped, causing each guild to flashstep after him.*

  ----------

  *The champion, Nathan and Karol continued to run down the dirt path, observing a trail of disaster.*

  Nathan: *He slowed down, wiping sweat off his forehead.* "That thing was definitely here."

  Karol: *He observed very deep scratch marks in a tree.* "Sckary."

  Champion: *She looked to each side, observing the damage around her.* (The only thing that is scary, is how this creature has gone through such lengths over a Scoldrant. If it would do all this damage to the environment over something so small, what else could it be capable of doing?)

  Nathan: "Ah?" *He mumbled in a worried-like manner and reached over his shoulder, pulling forward.*

  Karol: *He watched sparks swirl around a sword in Nathan's hand.* "Nafan-?"

  Champion: *She looked worried and a red glyph materialised underneath her.* "Karol, brace yourself."

  Karol: "W-Why-?" *Buzz-like sounds whooshed past him, causing him to turn around in confusion.*

  Nathan: "Damn you!" *He shouted with his deep voice, frowning at Blake, Tyson, Synthoss and Quintess which surrounded them.*

  Champion: "Oh my?"

  Karol: "Th-There's foar of them!"

  Tara: "Make it five, fufufu." *She chuckled and walked up behind the guild, causing Karol to turn around in shock.*

  Karol: "Oh no!"

  Nathan: (Dammit!) *He held the sword with both hands.*

  Blake: "Don't take this personally, but we're, like, here to kill yas."

  Tara: *She shook her head in an excitedly evil-like manner.* "No! Take it personally as we slit your throats and watch your body decompose into Roharnia, fufufu."

  Champion: (This is bad.. A very bad situation.) *She glanced at each brigade member, purposely not moving an inch to draw attention.* (I should be able to flee, but I won't be able to save Nathan or Karol-)

  Karol: "I-I'm sckared-" *He whimpered, nervously dragging his feet towards Nathan.*

  Nathan: "You're a man?" *He mumbled while pointing the sword at each brigade member in a routine-like manner.*

  Karol: "I'ma man."

  Nathan: "Then don't show your fear."

  Blake: *He strutted towards a nearby sapphire tree, gently placing his hand on it, causing it to sparkle.* "Ya know, this is The Twilight Forest."

  Nathan: "Your point?!"

  Blake: "Imagine how many Scoldrants I could unleash on you? Fufufufu."

  Nathan: *He thought about it and suddenly mumbled with widening eyes.* (We're in big trouble.)

  Blake: "Go! The Black Brigade!"

  Tara: "Fufufu!" *She bent her knees and blasted herself towards the champion.*

  Nathan: "This is it!" *He shouted to alert the champion and Karol and suddenly spun around, slicing the sword across.*

  Quintess: *She smirked directly in front of Nathan, watching the sword slice right through her head.* "Fufufu!"

  Nathan: *He awkwardly slanted to the side, as he wasn't expecting his sword to go straight through her head.* "What-?!"

  Quintess: "Fu-" *She leant back, kicking upwards towards Nathan's face.*

  Nathan: *He blocked Quintess' kick with his sword.* "Too predictable-"

  Quintess: *She slowly extended her leg, slightly pushing Nathan back.* "Predictable?"

  Synthoss: *She smirked, as she swept her foot underneath Nathan, knocking him off his feet.* "Fuh!" *She backflipped while Nathan remained airborne, kicking him back down to the ground.*

  Nathan: "Grrarth-" *He coughed in pain, as he lay on his back.*

  Quintess: *She cupped her hands, cueing Synthoss to jump up.* "Fah!" *She pushed up, throwing Synthoss into the air.*

  Synthoss: *She grabbed her purple whip and flicked it to the side, watching it unravel around her.* "Swirling Havoc." *She kicked the air and spun into a spiral above Nathan, flicking the whip across him in a tornado-like manner.*

  Nathan: *Multiple slapping sounds echoed from line-like welts across his body.* (What a combo!)

  Quintess: *She noticed Nathan readying to get up.* "AQUA LIQUID" *She swayed to the side and a wave of water crashed on top of Nathan, smashing him back to the ground.*

  Nathan: *He coughed out water and leant up, firmly holding onto his sword.* "Air Sl-"

  *A ball of wind shot through the air and smashed into the side of Nathan's head, throwing him across the blue grass.*

  Nathan: "Ah-"

  Tyson: "FLURRY STYX" *He focused on Nathan, as if he was the one that attacked.*

  Synthoss: *She landed on the ground with her toe and flicked her whip by her side, taunting Nathan.* "Fufufu."

  Karol: "Defence Up." *He started to dance, causing a blue sigil-like glyph to form underneath the champion.* "Power Up." *He added additional steps to his dancing, causing an orange sigil-like glyph to form underneath Nathan.*

  Nathan: "Air Slash." *He sliced the air from the ground and watched a powered up Air Slash screech towards Synthoss.*

  Quintess: (He wasn't knocked out?!) "Sister!"

  Synthoss: *She nodded her head and her eyes cracked like glass.* "AYON RAPTURE"

  *The air itself cracked like glass in front of Synthoss and distorted Nathan's Air Slash, causing it to blow in different directions around her.*

  Synthoss: "Fufufufu." *She snapped her purple whip in a taunt-like manner.*

  Quintess: *She unsheathed her blue whip, causing a swirl of sparks to spiral around it.* "No hesitating, sister!"

  Nathan: *He watched both Synthoss and Quintess charge towards him.* (Damn it all!) "Ougi."

  Tara: *She kicked across the champion's face and squinted her eyes in pain, as if her head was made of stone.* (That little dancing brat-) *She glared over the champion's shoulder, focusing her attention to Karol.*

  Champion: *She glanced at Tara's foot with a smile.* "Oh my, something wrong?"

  Karol: "Sacred dance!" *He squealed at the top of his lungs and incorporated an insane level of dancing manoeuvring.* "Power Up, Defence Up, Speed Up."

  Champion: *She swayed to the side at incredible speeds and pushed forward, flaring three, curved fire lances into Tara's chest, blasting her back.*

  Tara: (Hot!) *She slid back on her feet and covered her chest, as if she was puffing out the flames on her leather uniform.* "This is how you use fire!"

  *A cluster of flames swirled above the champion, forming itself into a bright yellowy-orange ball.*

  Tara: *She shouted with a growing frown.* "FLAMING STORM"

  Champion: "Oh my!-" *She gasped, looking up to the exploding ball.*

  Karol: *He whimpered, as his knees and ankles started to make cracking sounds.* (It hurts, but I must keep ghoing!)

  Tara: *She smirked at the bright orange flames which engulfed the champion, watching the blue grass burn green.* "You three will be the next ones to die!"

  *Tara sprinted forward and jumped straight into the fading flames, punching towards the champion.*

  Tara: "Hah?" *She watched her fist crack against a flickering yellow shield.* "You and your shields!"

  Champion: "MYSTIC-" *She spread her arms, popping the shield around her, blowing Tara and the remaining flames away.* "SHIELD"

  Tara: "Blake the leader! When are you going to help?"

  Blake: *He kept his hand placed on the sapphire tree.* "I'm waiting for my Neurons to sync with-" *The sapphire tree started to glow and the vegetation underneath Blake's feet glowed.* "Now."

  *Blake smirked and pushed forward, causing a sudden deep, dragon-like roar to echo loudly in the area, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.*

  Tyson: *He looked up.* "What was that?"

  Synthoss: *She smirked with her foot placed against Nathan's neck.* "You summoned something big?"

  Blake: (That.. Wasn't me?) *He looked puzzled.* "Maybe?"

  Tara: "Who cares, let's finished them off!" *She grabbed onto her red whip, readying to whip it towards the champion.* "Now!-"

  *The same deep, dragon-like roar echoed loudly, causing the sounds of life to retreat.*

  Champion: "What Scoldrant did that sound like to you?"

  Nathan: "I don't know." *He grunted, trying to push Synthoss' foot away from him.*

  Tara: *She noticed the guild's hesitation at the strange roar.* "Everyone! Use your Remenistal!"

  Nathan: *He kicked Synthoss' ankle, causing her to stagger back to prevent herself from tripping over.* "How disrespectful!"

  Synthoss: *She rolled her foot and smirked at Nathan.* "Fufufu-"

  Nathan: *He coughed, standing back into a battle-ready pose.* "Let's see what you got!"

  Tara, Synthoss, Quintess, Tyson: "Hi-Ougi."

  *Blake, Nathan, Karol and the champion gasped at their announcement.*

  Blake: (Those bitches can use a Hi-Ougi, and without me?)

  Champion: *She watched a large red pentagram-like glyph expel around Tara.* (All four of their Neurons are connecting!) *She shouted in thought.*

  Synthoss: "Let's kill the sword guy." *She smirked, as a circular glyph materialised underneath her.*

  Nathan: "I have a name!-"

  Quintess: *A wavy blue glyph spiralled underneath her.* "No, the Remenistal User is far more of a threat."
