Tales of Alidaire: The Chase

Macha mulled the idea over in her mind for a moment and decided she definitely liked it. The sword she carried now had a lot of baggage, not to mention. "Well, when do you want to set out? We still have quite a bit of daylight left. Not sure if you wanted to take a day to rest or not. I know I wouldn't mind a bit of relaxing time myself, but I'll be good with whatever you decide," she said, leaning back in her chair a bit. Auza seemed to be the type to want to have something to do all the time, so the blademaster wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to set out now. They had already taken care of exploring and buying supplies and such, so they were ready. Well, at least she was. Her head turned to glance at Henry. He seemed to have quietened down. I'm kinda glad. He looked like a lunatic over there talking to himself, hee hee, she thought lightheartedly, cracking a gentle smile. Her attention snapped back to Auza in a flash to await her answer.

Macha gave a short nod to Auza as the short woman walked away to fetch Henry. Standing up, Macha stretched and let out a groan of relief. The blademaster less than elegantly trundled up the stairs. Klein was in the only room in the hall that had the door wide open, which saved her the trouble of having to find him. She rapped on the door frame to catch his attention. He seemed to be tending to his weapons and armor for the moment. "Don't get too settled. We're heading out," Macha said to him with a quirky smile.

Tucking his weapon away and donning his armor once more, the swordsman hopped up, raring to go by the looks of it, yet a concerned expression graced his face. "Already?" he asked simply.

"Not to where you think we're headed. We've got a little business to take care of first. Come on," she concluded ominously and departed down the hall after which she descended the stairs. She could hear Klein shutting the door and following her. The duo reached Auza and Henry.

Henry stood up. "I don't mind leaving. Traveling is something I'm used to," he said with a reply. "I'm ready to go, but where is it that we're going?" he questioned, his head tilted in curiosity. He had expected them to at least spend one night in the city to rest up a bit. His eyes fell upon Klein who just shrugged his shoulders.

Henry nodded and the group set out. They navigated the paths of the rather large capital city until they reached the northernmost exit and departed. Across the arid land they traveled, only chancing upon moist, rich soil in the areas around the rivers--both large and small. Macha talked to Henry about what they were up to, heading out to find the traveling synthesist who would have the chemical Russel needed to get the aerolite out of the axe. He had said it sounded like a wonderful idea, even though he didn't have any idea what aerolite was either. In the end they surmised that it must have been even more rare than they thought. And so they continued onwards until they drew close to the Membatasi Sungai. It was one of the larger rivers in the Sungai Tanah, and the party could hear its roaring waters as they went along. Upon stepping foot on the banks, they found no trace of a traveling synthesist.

"Well, it's not like this was going to be easy, right?" Klein voiced loudly, even though it was perfectly easy to hear things over the sound of the river. He had a stupid grin on his face as he placed a hand over his eyes to shield them from the sun. Turning right, he noticed something odd. Pointing, he motioned for the others to look. "Is it just me, or is it raining in just that single spot along the river?" Sure enough, there was a dark patch of rainclouds hovering just above a particular section of the river. A scream pierced the air--obviously coming from a female.

"Mmm, looks like we get to have a little fun while we're out here," Macha purred as she summoned her blade in a cascade of cherry blossoms. "What do you make of it, Auza? Seems like something unnatural...perhaps it's magic?"

"Very well," Macha acknowledged, fighting the urge to grin. So the party set out in a rush towards the cluster of clouds unleashing their contents over the isolated area. The scene they chanced upon was an odd one. The rain pelted down upon them, freezing cold. An odd cart could be seen a little ways away. It was surrounded by...demons. They looked like a variety of imps, their skin blue in color with white paint on their faces and body that slightly resembled clouds. They wore seaweed clothes and held staves, except one who was wearing warrior's regalia. The mail and helm were as blue as the sea itself, and the blade was rather impressive and in good condition. Floating somewhere near them was a large blue wisp of essence surrounded by floating crystals in a spherical shape, almost as if they once formed a shell, but most of it had crumbled away. Every once in a while, a flash of blue could be seen around it that portrayed the image of a serpent. One of the demons, still dancing madly, turned to spy the intruders. It shouted something in the language of demons garnering the attention of the rest.

"Wh-what's going on?" a female voice called out from behind the cart. Whoever asked didn't reveal herself yet. Things were still rather dangerous.

"We're here to help you!" Klein shouted and rushed to the front of the group, trying to be heroic. He drew his blade and entered a fighting stance. "Come on, guys! Let's get with the program here!" he exclaimed to the others, his energy able to be felt in the sheer tone of his voice.

Macha conjured her blade. "Hmm...might as well. I have a feeling whoever's calling out to us is the one we're looking for. We don't have a choice. Not to mention. there are demons of all things. Makes me quite curious," the blademaster mused as she readied herself for battle.

Player Phase 1!

Klein moves to G7.

Fully energized and ready to go, Klein dashed forth and stopped near the armored demon. He gave it a quick scowl; there was no way he could hurt that thing. Grimace still fresh on his face, he looked forward at one of the more scantily clad demons, the ones that were dancing about like madmen. He formed a sphere of light around himself and rushed forth, crashing into one of the demons full force. The swordsman was repelled back by that very force, and chose to let the light dissipate instead of following up with his other technique. "Man, these guys have been eating their veggies!" Klein shouted jokingly.

MP: 40/50

Henry casts Peaceful Resolution! [Positive status effect bestowed duration x2]

MP: 68/80

Henry casts Facts Come Together on Auza! [Bestows Doublecast]

MP: 60/80

Not wasting a moment, Henry began scribbling stuff down upon his parchment. He felt a wonderful sensation fall around him--as if all that he wrote would persist through eternity. Continuing to write, he focused on Auza, different pieces of information gathering together in her mind to form a clear picture for her. Little tidbits that she may have forgotten revealed and rescued from the veil of oblivion amassed allowing her full access to the utmost potential of her skill. "Perhaps we should start aiming at the demons' food sources then?" Henry quipped cheerily at Klein's joke, resting his hand for a moment.

Henry waits.

Macha moves to E6.

"Oh, you boys. Settle down with the comedy routine; we've got work ahead of us," Macha gently berated with a just as gentle smile before running much faster than Klein towards her intended target. Stopping short, an aura flashed around her momentarily as she cleared her mind, quickly stepping forward to engage the demon she had targeted, starting off with a powerful slash. Taking advantage of the creature's startled state, she quickly turned on her heel and swung her blade in a high arc, finishing the turn and bringing the blade down in a curved strike like that of a crescent. "These little guys should be simple enough, but I'm still trying to figure out what to do with that hulk over there," she mused to herself while glancing at the armored demon. Perhaps she was physically adept enough to do something to it?

Macha uses Focus! [User ATK and CHR +10%]

"Gah! Don't attack my helpless cart! Here, I'll show you who the real threat is!" the girl shouted. She crouched down behind her cart for a moment before standing back up holding...an enormous bomb with a short fuse. She grinned evilly as she lit a match and set fire to the fuse, taking care to quickly toss it. It landed right where she wanted it to and exploded, a blast of flames surging outwards to lash at the various demons who had assembled in that area. She punched the air with her fist and cheered. "Whooo~! How about that, suckers? You mad? Tough." The girl placed her hands on her hips confidently. It was really just a pain in the ass to have to fix her cart again and again.

MP: 36/80

Henry moved quickly and, when he had found a place to stand still, quickly began scrawling on his parchment. A lot had taken place, and with the barrier that the elemental had bestowed to the demons, he knew Klein would need some bolstering. A dark mist swirled about Klein for a few seconds before a brilliant light shone through it, and banished it away. The light lingered about Klein like a veil, keeping him strong through the task he was facing. As Henry continued to write, a powerful aura surged up around Klein, making things more tense. There was no telling what would come of it, though by now, most everyone knew the capabilities of this spell.

"My apologies, Miss Macha. I'd get rid of that nasty spell effect if only I were a bit closer," Henry said to Macha, thick disappointment portrayed through his voice tone. "I'll be sure to take care of it as soon as I can."

Klein moves to E8.

Klein watched as the girl they were trying to save tossed a huge bomb into the midst of the demons. Unfortunately, the rain quickly fizzled out most of the flames, so the impact wasn't that great. "Sheesh, she's pretty reckless," Klein said flatly, his eyes shifted to the side. He was pretty close to the impact site and probably would have been scorched if he had gone any closer. Shaking his head, he rushed to get close to the demon that was attacking the cart. That was probably the main reason she was forced to act out. "Instead of tossing explosives around, let me take care of this little bugger!" Klein exclaimed to the girl reassuringly before lunging at the demon with his blade out in front of him. It pierced the demon's chest, and he quickly retracted his weapon. Keeping his arm light and grip tight, he launched into a myriad of rapid thrusts. The barrier the elemental bestowed wasn't helping things at all, but he hoped the attack would be enough to garner the demon's attention, not to mention Henry's spells were making him feel much stronger than he had felt before.

Klein uses Heartstring on Stratus! 32 Dmg! (ATK) [Chance of Blood Loss]

MP: 12/50

Macha moves to B6.

"Don't worry yourself over it, Henry; something tells me that I'll be just fine as is," she called back to the boy and gave him a small wave without turning to face him. Instead, she rushed after her prey, stopping before it only to take a deep breath and remember her goal. She felt a surge of energy flow through her before raising her blade and unleashing several graceful strikes upon the demon before her. She gritted her teeth, worried about the elemental floating right next to her. In lore, elementals were some of the most powerful creatures to exist in nature. To anger one was said to be great folly. I just have to hold tight. I've got things under control, Macha thought as she braced herself.

Macha uses Resolve! [Bestows Immunity][User SPR +20%]
---Macha links a basic attack on Cumulus! 2 hits! 23 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Chance of Mesmerize]

Riori initiates Synth Mega Potion! (1/2)

"Fine, fine," Riori replied to Klein dismissively. "It's not like I take pleasure in blowing stuff up and junk. I find my talents put to better use elsewhere..." The girl's voice became distant as she ducked down behind her cart again. "I'll have something whipped up for you guys in a jiffy~ Just hang tight!" she called out to them. She grabbed several ingredients from her cart and put them into a small dish, grinding up the contents to make a thick paste, but it was no good as it was. She needed to liquefy it and add a few more ingredients, which would take more time. Luckily, her growing knowledge of syntheses enabled her to do it a bit faster than normal.

Henry moves to F6.

Henry dashed forward, panting a bit as he came to a stop near Klein and Auza. The demons were slinging around magic like it was nothing, not to mention it was powerful magic--something he didn't know how to protect against. "Thank you for the aid, Miss Auza. I'll try to see that it is put to good use," he said, taking out his quill and scrawling some quick, bright words upon the page--a delightful read. Light appeared around both Klein and Auza, settling down upon their harshest injuries, and when it had gone, most of everything had been recovered. It took a lot out of the boy, but he had to keep up for them. Just a single mistake and things could go haywire.

"Damn, they're...they're getting healed by the rain!" Klein shouted in a mix of anguish and rage. The benefits must have not been visible to them at first, but now that he focused and the monsters had more wounds, he could see. The rain was touching upon their injuries and mending them quite a bit. It was a horrible turn of events. When would the rain stop? It seemed like it would be perfectly content with coming down for an eternity. Klein growled and got up close and personal with the demon that had attacked the girl's cart. He slashed it twice quickly before switching his sword to his other hand in a flash to deliver a final devastating blow, or at least he hoped that's the way things would turn out.

Macha was glad that she had evoked the surging energy within her, bolstering her very spirit. Pretty much every enemy was adept at magic. Oh come on. It's no good for a legendary blademaster to get worried in a situation like this. You're stronger than that! With a daring grin, Macha began hacking away with calculated strikes against the mesmerized demon before her. If what Klein said was true, just letting it do what it wanted would only give it time to recover, and when her spell wore off of it, then it would be more shit they had to deal with. "Sorry, buddy, but can't let that happen," she said as she pulled back and lunged forward, stabbing her blade right through the demon's chest and pulling it out with great speed and force, expecting to draw lots of blood.

Macha waits.

A puff of smoke rose up into the air from behind the cart and Riori reappeared holding a large vial of liquid. "As promised, my saviors! Le's do dis!!!" Riori shouted, tossing the large vial into the air, without a cap. Oddly enough, the very vial seemed to waver before exploding causing the liquid to rain down upon everyone, including the demons. Each dropped was surrounded with mana; the girl was controlling who it affected. Closing her eyes, the girl enjoyed as the delightful rain of potion splattered against her skin and her cart. She turned to face the short lady in the distance with power over seals, it seemed. "Yo~ Thanks for saving my poor defenseless cart! I should have followed Master Elusia's advice and equipped the thing with cannons. Something to add to my to-do list, psh yeah~" she called out cheerily to Auza, a large smile upon her young face.

Henry casts Rising Tension on Macha! [Target CHR +25%]

MP: 8/80

The sphere of water shot at him made him cringe and nearly fall over, but Henry was not apt to accept defeat so quickly. It was at that time that the girl, a synthesist, created a massive potion that pretty much cleared up all the pain he had felt from the elemental's attack. There was no doubt that the young girl was the one they were looking for. Moving forward, Henry wrote something down on his parchment bravely, watching as a quick flash of energy surged around Macha. "Let's keep it up, Miss Macha. That should help speed things up a bit, yes?" Henry grinned as he put his quill hand at rest. Auza's spell was a godsend for him, even if it took a bit of time to recollect his lost mana. It was definitely better than nothing.

Klein attacks Stratus! 2 hits! 21 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

Klein slashed at the demon before him twice. The rain persisted to fall and wet his hair, the drops sliding down his face. It was cool and refreshing, even if it was conjured by demons. He wished it would stop, regardless. It was doing more good for the demons than anything. "Man, this is frustrating!" he shouted, keeping his sword at the ready. He knew the demons would falter at some point, but he wasn't exactly the patient type.

Klein waits.

"Mhm, that's much better, Sir Henry," Macha replied as she felt the surge around her. She bowed her head to him politely and watched him smile. He was such a sweet boy. Her gaze turned to the demon she had mesmerized with her blade. It was a shame to let it go to waste, but she had already mulled the idea over in her head; it wouldn't be worth it to let it get back to full stamina. Not speaking, she turned quickly and launched a powerful barrage of slashes, keeping hold of her elegance in the process. The cherry blossoms were hard to see in the pouring rain. Macha sighed.

Macha waits.

Riori initiates Synth Mega Potion! (1/2)

"Phew, again? Welp, no problems there. Give me a sec and I'll have more healing goodness ready for you all," Riori chimed, ducking down behind her cart. Luckily, she still had the ingredients out from her last synthesis. "Elusia's going to be so glad that I'm getting all this practice," Riori said happily to herself as she ground up more herbs and such. Riori was one of the few students her master, Elusia, had, and naturally, there were high hopes for her. In her mind, Riori only wanted to make Elusia proud with her work. As she continued to work and think, she accidentally started humming a tune, something she was accustomed to doing.

Klein attacks Stratus! 2 hits! 23 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

Klein groaned. The rain had allowed the demon to completely shrug off the slashes he had executed against it. Looking to the sky, he noticed the clouds starting to break a bit. Was the magic wearing off? Klein grinned stupidly as he realized that it would end soon. It was about time. He also noticed that the demon's barrier had worn off, the one bestowed upon it by the now useless elemental. Taking the moment to seize advantage, Klein launched a couple more slashes against the demon, hoping to actually get somewhere this time.

Klein waits.

Henry moves to E7.

Henry attacks Stratus! 2 hits! 22 Dmg per hit! (INT)

Henry's mana still hadn't recovered fully, but there wasn't much he could do about it. He kept casting magic, so naturally it would deplete quickly. He scooted closer to the demon Klein was attacking and slashed at his parchment violently with his quill a couple of times leaving two, long, black marks. The same black marks flashed in the form of light through the air, slicing at the demon he had targeted. "Slowly, but surely," he chirped as he drew a little doodle on his parchment. He was pretty certain of his next move, hoping that it would be the right one.

Macha moves to C6.

With one demon down, Macha quickly approached the elemental, blade flashing through the air and cherry blossoms sent flying. The thick scent filled the air as she slashed away at the thing. She knew of the lore behind them. The magic it had shown so far was mere child's play; she knew it had more powerful spells in its repertoire. She kept her stance strong and firm, even though she knew it couldn't retaliate. Her eyes shot towards the armored demon, now free from Auza's possession magic. It would certainly be a threat now that it was freed. She had hoped they would have accomplished more than they had before it came back to its senses, but it seemed that would not be the case for now.

Riori uses Synth Mega Potion! (2/2) [+24 HP Recovered for all allies]

MP: 30/70

Emerging from behind her cart, Riori tossed another vial into the air. Just as before, the vial wavered violently before exploding which scattered the rain of potion amongst the rain that the demon's conjured. Her mana coated every drop, something that took great control. Such a nifty trick Elusia taught me~ the young girl thought cheerily as she enjoyed the rain of potion once again. It was always great getting to experience the results of her syntheses firsthand. Usually she just had to rely on the feedback from her customers. Nothing could compare to experiencing it oneself; it was like a chef tasting his or her own creation.

"Ah, such magnificent work; a wondrous feeling!" Riori exclaimed, retrieving a towel from somewhere within her cart, dabbing her wet forehead with it, covered in rain, potion, and sweat.

Henry casts Explosive Climax on Macha! [Bestows Haste][Target CHD +25%]

MP: 0/80

Tapping into the last bits of his mana, Henry wrote something down upon his parchment. An action-packed scene much reflecting the rather climaxing battle they were experiencing now. A blazing flame surged up around Macha suddenly, speeding her up and empowering her to handle all the action going on. "Still rolling along, right, Miss Macha?" he asked aloud. He felt uncomfortable with no mana. It was like he was completely helpless, though he knew that wasn't entirely true. As long as there was a quill in his hand and something to write on, he'd never be truly defenseless. He just had to press onward and keep the morale up among his friends.

Henry moves to H7.

Macha moves to D6.

"Oh, we're rolling all right, Henry," Macha grinned sinisterly as she appeared next to one of the rain dancing demons, her form as rigid and beautiful as could be. The rain dripped from her long hair, and her garments were soaked, though they seemed to be rather resilient despite the moisture. "Don't take it personally." Flashes of pink cut through the air rapidly as cherry blossoms rocketed about the area at a breakneck pace. Her arm paused suddenly, and her form became still. The demon next to her looked like a complete mess, if it was even alive. Macha purred in delight as she relaxed her stature just a bit, but still kept her guard up. There were too many enemies running around still to lower guards. There was still the armored demon to contend with, something she was looking forward to.

Macha launches a torrent of basic attacks on Nimbus! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 21 Dmg! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! (ATK) [Chance of Mesmerize]

Klein attacks Stratus! 2 hits! 23 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

Klein was at wit's end. His blows weren't landing the way he wanted them to. He tried his best to utilize the magic Henry had bestowed upon him to increase his focus on the demon's vitals, but he missed them every time. And every time he failed to deal significant damage, the demon had a chance to heal itself from the rain. "Gah! Teacher, come and help. This thing's not dying!" he turned to face the rather confident Macha and pointed at the demon he had been attacking that refused to die. With Macha on the case, it wouldn't last another second.

Klein waits.

Riori attacks Stratus! 2 hits! 21 Dmg per hit! (INT)

Riori had her eyes closed as she hid behind her cart, trying to clean up a bit of the mess she made while synthesizing as she went. It was something her master had taught her to do in order to keep her workspace from becoming too nasty. She tucked away her rag after she was satisfied, even though the rain kept pelting down on her mercilessly. Upon her ears fell the words of Klein who seemed to be having trouble with handling one of the demons himself. In the rain, these demons were powerful and resilient; it was this rain that they relied upon. Riori stood up and waved her staff about.

"Heeey, don't bother her! I can help you out~" the young girl said as her gaze turned towards the demon. The tip of her staff began to glow and she waved it, sending a flying orb of neutralized mana straight for her target. With another wave, a similar orb flew outwards, aiming to strike the demon again.

Riori waits.

"Sorry, student, but you'll have to handle it on your own. How else will you ever learn? You cannot depend on me forever," Macha retorted crossly to Klein. "Accept the young girl's help, but I have bigger fish to fry for now." That said, Macha turned her fierce gaze away from Klein. A shiver went down her spine. Her clothes had been rather resilient in the rain, but her hair was soaked and drops of water fell down her face endlessly. Hope I don't catch a cold from this... she thought and sighed aloud before dashing towards the fleeing elemental. She skidded to a halt next to it in the muddy ground and launched into a small flurry of slashes before stopping her assault expertly to turn and firmly plant her feet upon the ground, her typical stance recovered. That settled, she began to hack away at the creature again, trusting in Henry's gifts and her own power to get the job done.

"My apologies, guys. I think I'm a bit useless now. Allow Vincent to take my place. I'm sure he can handle the armored demon," Henry said softly to the others as he bowed his head to them. Holding the book out in front of him, a green wind blasted out of the pages, swirling about Henry's form before heading back into the book. A few seconds passed before a second wind emerged from the book and formed a small twister that dissipated to reveal Vincent.

Vincent casts Mind Sublimation on Hurricane! 17 Dark Dmg! (INT) [Target Dark Resistance -50%][Target INT -20%]

MP: 59/75

Vincent brushed off his coat and turned to see Auza. "Well, hello there." He turned about, gazing at the battlefield. From Henry's thoughts, he could understand what was going on, though he hadn't been able to see the place for himself. "I guess he was right in not worrying." Vincent sidestepped to get a little distance from Auza and to get closer to his apparent target. Looking upon it, there was no wonder Henry had called on him for help. The little wimp is great at what he does, but when he tries to infringe on my territory? Well, there's just no replacing me. This is what I'M best at, he thought and smirked cockily as he retrieved his scythe. Channeling his dark magic, he spun his scythe about in front of him forming a dark mass of surging energy before firing it like a cannon towards the armored demon. It hit dead on and spread quickly, smoky tendrils wrapping about the body and snaking up towards the thing's head where they began to dig inwards, vanishing in a matter of seconds. He had accomplished what he aimed to accomplish.

Vincent waits.

Klein moves to E8.

A ferocious blush swarmed upon Klein's face, tinting his cheeks red like fire. He hadn't expected Macha to reprimand him so harshly; she was really living up to her role as a teacher. "I'm...I'm sorry, Teacher," he apologized quickly, chasing after the demon and dealing it two deft blows with his blades. They wouldn't land where he wanted them to. Was it the rain that was throwing him off? Regardless, it seemed the synthesist was going to be the one to help him out, though her attacks didn't seem too particularly effective. "Thanks," he said to her sheepishly. She was pretty far out there. The girl almost reminded him of himself. She was definitely enthusiastic, that was for sure.

The cart was nothing more but sorry mix of destroyed, wet wood and the materials that had been kept inside. Riori fell to her knees in the mud as she grimaced at the tattered structure before her. It had been so long since she needed a new cart. Those cannons weren't sounding so bad now. Still, what would Elusia think? That she could even take care of her own cart? No. No no no no NO! "Son of a bitch!" Riori shouted loudly as she stood, her knees coated in the mud she had been kneeling in. Her clothes were wet and dirty, and it kind of looked like she was crying...or was it the rain? Regardless, a fierce anger now burned in those young eyes. "Oh buddy, I'm pissed now! Great job!" she yelled at the demon. A blazing aura of energy surrounded the girl, and she waved a hand through the air. Various materials began to float out of the wreckage of their own free will, crashing into each other above Riori creating a large cloud of smoke. Riori held her hands up just in time for an enormous object to fall into them.

It was a huge ass bomb. Like seriously. This shit...it would make terrorist bombers shit themselves.

"Hope you're all ready for some wild rockin', hm? Le's do this! Bombs away!!!" With all her might, she tossed the enormous bomb into the air and snapped her fingers to light the short fuse. The rain didn't even have a chance to extinguish the flame before the oversized explosive did what oversized explosives did best. It exploded. A raucous boom resounded the air as the sheer force of the explosion threatened to knock anything and anyone off its balance. The girl held her arms out in front of her and tried to hold her ground. She felt like she could get sent flying at any moment. When the wind died down and she thought she could hear, Riori lowered her guard and surveyed the results. The demon that had destroyed her cart was naught but charred remains upon the ground. The armored demon seemed relatively unfazed, but it didn't matter. She had got revenge for her poor cart.

Macha moves to J4.

The blast from the young synthesist's attack was amazingly impressive. To think that there was a bomb that powerful around. Macha was a bit awestruck, but even moreso was she glad that the blast had rid Klein of the annoying demon he was trying to deal with. It made her realize how much room there was for the kid to grow. And it was her job to teach him so that he could be the best blademaster that he could be. "There you go, Klein. I believe you owe that girl some thanks, yeah?" she teased from afar before rushing up to the armored demon, the last one that stood in their way. It would be tough for her, for it looked readily prepared to take on physical blows, but she figured she would just do her best. Slash after slash rained down upon the armored demon, and the sound of steel clashing against steel filled the air, a sound reprieve compared to the deafening boom of Riori's bomb.

Macha launches a flurry of basic attacks on Hurricane! 12 hits! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 37 Dmg! CRITICAL!! 21 Dmg! 21 Dmg! 21 Dmg! (ATK) [Chance of Mesmerize]

Vincent moves to G6.

Vincent was a bit dissatisfied with his damage, but those thoughts were blown from his mind as the synthesist set off her giant explosive. It rattled him quite a bit, his coattails flapping in the grand wind that came about as a result of the explosion. When all was clear, he brushed himself off and took a step closer towards his target. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the ruined cart. He could already here Henry protesting in his mind. "Gah, give it a damn rest. Let me just get one more blow in," Vincent said aloud to no one in particular, or so it seemed. Holding his hand out in front of him, a dark glyph appeared hovering above his palm. The glyph spun about wildly, gathering up the darkness before Vincent bent to the ground and slammed his palm into it. Ghostly specters swarmed upwards from the ground around the armored demon, images of ghoulish visages wrapping around Vincent's target to cause as much grief as possible. It was then that Vincent sighed and became enveloped in a green wind that whisked him away back inside the book.

Vincent is called back into the book!

Henry appears at F6!

Henry moves to E6.

"Phew, I'm glad I made it out. Vincent could have given me a harder time than he did," Henry chirped as he gazed upon the wreckage, a smile upon his face. He would have been sad if he hadn't possessed a plan up his sleeve. Taking out his parchment and quill and ink, the boy began to write the grand story of the amazing synthesist's cart, all the way up until the point where it was destroyed, but that wasn't the intended ending. Henry was sure of it. A white glow surrounded him as he scratched out the horrid story and began to rewrite it. Before everyone's eyes, the pieces of the cart began to hover lightly in the air, surrounded by the same aura that enveloped Henry. The pieces rejoined with each other and melded together. With a flash of bright light, the auras dissipated and when they did so, what was revealed happened to be Riori's cart, back to its old condition. It was as if it had never been destroyed in the first place.

Klein moves to F6.

The water was terrible. The magic the demon tossed upon him and the cart was only amplified by the rain. He was lucky to possess the knowledge of glyphs that he did along with Henry's blessing from earlier in the battle. Turning to the girl, Klein bowed his head. "Th-thanks for getting rid of that thing. Sorry about your cart. If I had been a bit stronger...," his voice trailed off as he suddenly realized there was still an enemy left. The bomb was an awesome touch, and he was disappointed in himself, but now wasn't the time for any of those feelings. "Sorry, but there's still one left, and I'm not down and out just yet! Yeah!!!" he exclaimed, his signature grin returning to his face. He rushed away, hoping to reach the demon in time to lay some hurt on it. As he stopped, he passed Henry. Turning quickly, he was able to witness the kid's magic. It was amazing what he could do with only a pen and paper.

Klein waits.
