The group of citizens marched up to the guildhall of fairy tail. Many wore weary faces, and others relished in the comfort that they were at least safe. The town had suffered damage and toppled buildings, but nothing that was beyond repair. It still weighed on the mage's mind as to why none of the ones they fought seemed like a leader. Maybe they were just a ragtag group of people here to attack.

Kazimir widened the doors to the guildhall as the rest of the people began to filter inside. Finally, they were safe and the festivities could hopefully take their mind off it. His hand traced the door of the guild. It felt lighter now in many ways. Now that he was no longer the guildmaster. It was an odd thought. He had spent his life working his way up to a leadership position, become a guildmaster a couple times over and now it would all be behind him. Once again he would return to a more carefree life. "To ride the winds of fate," he repeated to himself softly. A passerby overheard and turned up an ear to the sorcerer. Kaz smiled back and waved it off, "It's nothing. An old poem. please go ahead in. "

The man wandered in, and Kazimir waited for the rest of the guild to arrive and held leaned the door open for them. He would step back inside and adjust his cloak. The band was still there and the food was still laid out. Now that it was announced he was stepping down, the faces in the hall looked toward him and then toward Judith when she would enter. Kaz bowed and stole away to the side of the room, with a grin. Happy that Judith was getting the recognition she deserved after so long. But also smiling at the delight he got from seeing her be put in a situation she wasn't comfortable with. He waited for The other guildmates to join in and the two he fought with in the streets. Dan and Ghost. They had proven themselves to the people, even more, today than before. Ghost didn't blow anyone up and Dan gave an excellent first day.

Golden lights lit the room. The guildhall had been untouched by the assault. The wine ran freely into cups. kazimir took a deep breath and leaned back. It was a long day already and he had used a good amount of mana, just in that skirmish outside.

However...with the party getting into full swing again, after Judith would lead the way. A young fairy tail mage would wander up from the cellar. A trip down to get more supplies, leaving them white as a sheet. The young mage tugged on Kaz's arm and whispered into the mage's ear.

Kaz gulped and turned his eyes to the new guild master. He shuffled his way over to her, and would repeat the news he just gathered.

"There are intruders in the lower levels. I'm better suited there than here. What do you want the others to do?" He looked at the other able-bodied members of Fairy Tail, wondering what their decision would be.

Was it too early to celebrate? She personal answer was, No it was never too early the celebrate because when she does things she is prepared for all stages of the day, Even if busy with other things it would not take long for Judith to set up for. She as also busy making sure anything that was not a guild member with in the guild she brought here to make sure they where safe and protected. Was it really needed to bring them here? No but she did it anyway because she would feel better if they where here just for a tiny bit.

Judith would just start getting some of the people still here, while waiting for the rest of the members. Making sure they had something to drink and something small to snack on. Then as it seemed safe for then. Judith would start helping them leave the guild hall, Her normal and typical things to be done by her as she progressed along. She would even take time to lead some of them home to make sure they were not lost, Since well some times the mind was confused. But she was sure it all worked out in the end.

But all were perfect in this situation, the things here were not at the end much like they thought, It was just not on her mind it might not be thinking or assuming there was anything else, Then again to let on there was a problem might not be a good thing right away. Then will Judith herself would stop to make herself a cup of tea. For the most part still clueless to what else had been going on. But maybe all of that running around when she had not done it as much in her life was something else to consider, In time she would know.

She would eventually got up to get some supplies, Normal to find the list of people and keep it limited most likely for the sake of keeping storage in control, Last thing Judith needed was some missing and unaccounted
drinks or food when she was not looking, But that was just how she managed things for many years. Maybe this final piece would finally start  putting in the final part to end the puzzle. Given Kazimir reaction the work was not done, But Judith did not mind at all.


If anything she should have expected it."Shame, Thought the work was done, But it seems each time the leaves flow free, some are ready to pluck them forcefully."She was in good spirits at least, managing to get a grip upon the real."I am going to fill cup of drink, one at a time. I want you to pass them out, Inform each of the able and willing member of what the situation is."She was trying to not let off they knew will keeping the element of shock with in their use as well."When we can find out where they are down there, ambush them."That was Judith's plan at least, simple but she had no time to with in depth at this time.

Quietly she approached the duo as they were planning on how to approach the news that had been delivered. After the recent riots and her talk with Judith Esperia knew all too well what the intentions were behind tonight's events. Something, or rather someone was trying to break Fairy Tail, to tear down the fragile foundation they had just rebuild and started to strengthen and show to the world they were incapable of protecting either themselves nor the people that relied on them. As she stepped beside Judith and pulled back her hood the young Demigoddess spoke softly, "With all due respect Judith, we likely should send someone along with Kazimir." As she spoke she turned toward the man, a playful wave of her hand following. "Forgive the different appearance Kazimir~ I did tell you before that I am a woman of many mysteries~ But it is I, Esperia~"

With the short introduction given she turned toward Judith and continued speaking. "It is likely they plan to try to destroy all you and your kin worked toward by taking down the two pillars the guild currently stands upon: That being you, and Kazimir. I would personally suggest to make your strongest mages accompany Kazimir and ambush the intruders before they can properly mount an offense. Should any be able to escape and try to come here..."

She smiled knowingly at Kazimir as she continued. "I am unsuited for fighting in enclosed spaces, but I do have some manner of methods that will make me an excellent bodyguard for your successor. As such they will realize all too late that Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned~"

She turned her gaze at the nearby civilians, pondering for a moment. "But considering their choice of location I would suggest looking for any attempts to ruin the foundation of the building. As dreadful as it might sound, I wouldn't be surprised if you find explosives on some of them should they get desperate."

A soft sigh escaped her lips while she shook her head. Was it the same nowadays in the North after the Sentinel Syndicate disbanded? Sure there were plenty of flaws in that guild's ideology, but at least they kept the peace and order in the region. And with those words she tapped Judith lightly on the shoulder, or at least attempted to as she whispered softly. "I'll observe things from a distance, should you feel threatened or I feel you are in danger I will not hesitate to step in."

And with those words spoken she approached the nearby wall and leaned lightly against it, pulling up her hood again. No need to stand out too much for now. After all it would do them little good to know a mage like her had been around, even more if someone from Seven recognized the Demigoddess.

"Still, it is a bold decision for them to make, but is it truly out of desperation, or is someone else stirring those events into motion?"

Dan sighed as he walked back into the guild hall and started at all the citizens they had safely escorted back. Dan was glad that he alongside his fellow fairy tail members were able to protect the town. Or at least what is left of it, Dan was sad to see the damages caused by this blatant act of cowardice. For the life of him he could not understand why somebody would attack magnolia as a whole, the guild sure as fairy tail was one of the largest light guilds in fiore and had made more then a few dark guilds there enemy over the many years since it's creation.

But the fact that the town was the target had him baffled. Dan could feel it in his gut something was amiss here. As he walked by he overheard Judith speaking to Kazimir speak about people in the lower levels. 'so that's what this was about, the town was never the target. At least not completely bit rather a distraction so that these guys could break in during the confusion.' Dan thought was narrowed eyes. He had to admit that was as much as it pained him it was a rather ingenious idea. While fairy tail was out cleaning up the mess these guys would slip in and go down stairs to do whatever it is they are here for.

Dan walked up to the pair but before he could speak a female by the name esperia walked up and addressed them both. She seemed a bit on the flamboyant side but Dan was not one to judge a person by there quirkiness after all fairy tail is a place that accepts any and all under her banner so long as they believe in her message. Dan stepped closer and spoke "sorry to eaves drop on your conversation master Judith but I would like to volunteer to go downstairs with Kazimir. I know I am new to the guild and honestly I am not the strongest memeber by far but magnolia has been my home since the day I was born and I grew up hearing stories about fairy tail. And these people have attacked both my homes now so I would like to he able to protect the guild ma'am" Dan finished with a serious look in his eyes no trace of his earlier nervousness as he stood with his back straight and his head held high.

Dan was honored to be here in this guild where many famous mages resided. This place was his dream and the dream of many others so to have this place attacked and dishonored by these people made Dan want to defend this building till the day he dies because fairy tail is a place of new beginnings and hope. Dan stood awaiting Judiths response hoping for a positive answer.

Kaz turned his attention to the woman that had introduced herself into the conversation. A quizzical look on his face as he didn't recognize the sudden appearance of the guild member. She seemed to be fairly new. He nodded, supportive of the idea of having some backup. "Oh," he waved back equally as cheerfully, simply meeting the woman's energy, until she revealed who she was. "Huh," his wave stopped and he squinted at the woman. She did look completely different. "That's really you? You have changed," he stood up straight once more. "You did warn me," he laughed and scratched the back of his head. "Good to see you again...and from the looks of it, good to have you as a guildmate." She was powerful addition, and the way they had left things before, kept him wondering what more was behind the woman.

He folded his arms, in thought as Esperia spoke. He felt the same way. They were striking at what seemed like our most vulnerable. Emboldened by the new surge of magic within the land. "Groups have been rising up as more magic has become abundant, and standing against organized mage groups. Mafias, and others that now have hitmen and guards with magical gifts. All that want to carve a new future for the land. And needing to make a statement." HE had already suspected there was something darker going on here and didn't want to panic anyone. It was warming to see the influx of support to deal with the dangers below.

He met the woman's smile, a familiar one from him as it was nice to once again reunite with an ally. "Thank you. I know she is in safe hands," As Esperia began to step away, dan approached. Dan showed a lot of heart in defending the city and now he proclaimed his desire to stand against the threat in the tunnels. Kaz smiled and put a hand on Dan's shoulder, "I'd be honored to have you by my side in the tunnels." he nodded and looked back toward the new guild master to see if she was okay with it. Hopefully it wasn't a weird situation for her to be asked by Kaz for permission. But he looked at them as more friends than separated by leadership roles. If she agreed, then Kaz would head towards the tunnel.

He waved back at Judith and then to Esperia. "Alright, Dan. Things are going to get messy down there," Kaz blinked as if he had a brief headache. There wasn't any around, but he could almost smell blood. It was only for a brief moment and he shook it off. "I'll have your back and go down first. You may not be able to see me, but I will be by your side."

He opened the door to the lower levels and began to descend. He clapped his hands and a gust of wind blew out from the mage, letting him feel vibrations around himself. With a wave of his hand, darkness surrounded him and he turned invisible. "Let's get to work," Kaz took a heavy step, letting Dan know that he was still next to him.

At the end of the path, they would eventually see a group of ten people. One of them was placing a bomb on a pillar that was beneath the main guildhall.

So being a bit more covert about it might not be an option anymore really, Too many people where up here if they lingered. For now she needed wait for a moment to talk. The more interesting parts was everyone always had some ways to work with one another with out Judith needing to say much. But with all they had so far, there was much that could be done here. It was good to be able to manage them correctly."Well here it seemed everyone really did think up everything to do. Just before I had to consider too many options."She mentioned to the four of them currently.

If Dan and Kazimir wanted to go down stairs she would finally mention scraping her current plan."I guess my plan won't work as I thought then." She did not feel too disappointed at least."I guess happy delighted reunions can wait until later."Trying not to ruin Esperia and Kazimir's conversation even if it would be nice for them. If Esperia was right they had a few other things to worry about."Shame it would have been wonderful to drink and celebrate such a reunion."So the sneaky drinking plan, was out the window but it would lead into other things."Drinks later then."Which most likely to be expected since most of the time when Judith was at the helm, there was a fair amount of drinks and food. For the guild would have to adjust to Judith being guild master she might not be able to do these things as much as she would like it."Well if it is a safe option and we have a volunteers, Then Dan and Yourself can go downstairs, seek out and start confront our unwelcome guests who wish to ruin the fun."


Now it was just what was next to do with herself and Esperia. It was risky."As for you and I, we might have to do something different."The you she was mentioning was Esperia."I doubt it would be good for to long to hide up here and act like we are preparing wine, So we either wait until they start."Which might not be the best idea."So you can find a place to work into."But with how it seemed to be worded Judith already doubted this idea and it would work, Esperia was not best in close areas.

At least she had one solution for at leas Esperia."I will have to still think about a few things, However if you find a place to go around. You might be able to wait outside a door of your choosing, They might have back up waiting for the first stir that might not be in the building."That was one idea."You also open up the chance of catching anyone who runs as well."It was just a small idea. Given Judith's nature she was most likely able to prepare with other suggestions.

But since Dan and Kazimir were going down first she would just mention."Dan be careful, your are new and willing yes. But unneeded risks to your life and health are not something I enjoy." To Kazimir well she just assumed as always he was just gonna work his wild card ways."And Kazimir, I trust you will do fine...just do not get too hurt either."That part was key, do not get too hurt. With that it seemed to be a new plan unless changes needed to be quick."Well Esperia, Shall we find you a place to set up?"

After the brief reunion with Kazimir it seemed a plan had been set in motion about how to deal with the sneaky terrorists who had been hiding in the basement of the building. Kazimir and Dan would work together to deal with the culprits, but Judith did raise a very good point: It was quite likely that upon being cornered and their initial plan failed, that they would try to escape. The first, and most logical choice would be for them to flee upstairs and try to mingle with the crowd. As such when Judith addressed her and voiced her suggestion Esperia nodded in agreement. "I was thinking of concealing myself near the entrance to the building. This way I can stop anyone suspicious from entering the guild hall, while at the same time take down any of the terrorists that are attempting to flee out of the guild hall."

She gestured at the door that Kazimir and Dan had just entered and mused softly. "Is there another entrance to the basement level? If not I would suggest that under your leadership you appoint a number of battle-ready mages to surround this entrance. It is likely that if they were able to get past Kazimir and his youthful protégé, that they will attempt to flee upstairs and mingle with the crowd in the hope to escape. Should you place the mages as a figurative barricade they will be panicking and more likely to either surrender or try to break free to flee outside, after which I just need to give them a solid walloping and we can take them into custody."

Looking at Judith, she waited to get the Fairy Tail Guild Master her opinion on the suggestion but judging from the fact she stood up again after leaning against the wall, that she trusted Judith enough to follow her instructions in case she had a different idea in mind. "By the way~ I am still expecting to sample some of those drinks once the chaos is settled~"

A playful smile lingered on her lips for a moment as she hoped that at least the night would have a favorable ending for the guild. They really didn't need to have their guild hall blown up once again, but this time Kazimir and Dan were there to prevent it, and with her and Judith ready to support them upstairs she was fairly confident- no she was even certain that today wouldn't end in a disaster.

Her weapons and armors were still in their peak condition so she had little to worry about yet when it came to martial combat, but the reason she wanted to put herself up somewhere outside was because her bow was more suited for outdoors situations, not to mention fiery projectiles rarely did well inside a building, therefore she had tried to make sure she could be helping the guild without burning down the entire guild hall by accident! But for now it was time to wait...

Dan felt himself release a breath he had unintentionally been holding onto. He would not lie and say he had not been expecting to be turned down on his offer to accompany Kazimir into the basement. Dan knew he wasn't yet at the same level as the former guild master and probably would not be for some time yet. He could acknowledge that fact but that did not mean he would let that stop him from helping in what ever way he could. Whether that be actually fighting alongside Kazimir or just acting as a body to block the exit so that the intruders could not escape back through the door they came through.

Dan took a deep breath as Kazimir explained that he would go first but that Dan may not see him. Though Dan was mildly confused he noded but felt his eyebrows raise as Kazimir clapped and surrounded himself in darkness effectively making him invisible. Dan noded as he understood what Kazimir was doing. 'this could work if these guys only see me coming no doubt they will underestimate me and drop there guard allowing Kazimir to get the drop on them.' Dan thought to himself as he continued down the stairs.

As he continued on eventually reaching the point directly under the guild hall he saw a group of ten people with one trying to place a bomb on a support pillar under the hall. 'no if that goes off who knows how many people could be hurt or killed in the aftermath.' Dan thought before his eyes widened as a thought passed through his head. 'I-Is that why they attacked the city? They knew we would bring the towns people here for safety. Dear lord it would be a slaughter if that happens.' Dan felt his ire rise as he finally understood what was going on.

'well not today' He thought as he clapped his hands together, when the hands come apart a cyan magic circle 0.25 meters in diameter appearedvbetween Dan's palms. Dan then thrusts both hands forward causing a animated ice sculpture in the form of a hawk to fly toward the one setting the bomb in hopes of distracting him with bites or clawing at him. Dan was obviously now seen so before they had time to respond Dan stomped on the ground with one foot causing a cyan spell circle 0.25 meters in diameter to appear. From the circle a cannon made of ice, .25 meters tall and one meter long, will form. The cannon fired a projectile of ice  .1 meters in diameter at one of the men hitting him in the chest and sending him into another pair behind him causing them to fall to the floor. "I do not know who you think you are but you have made a bad choice to try to attack my home like this." Dan says with his fist raised "now prepare yourselves to feel the full power of a member of fairy tail!" Now that he has there attention hopefully Kazimir could do something about the bomber being accosted by his hawk.

The two marched onward into the tunnel until they came upon the group of ten intruders. Kazimir looked behind himself toward his companion and back to the thugs. One was placing a bomb onto the structure beneath the guildhall. The wind mage began his silent descent toward them.

Cyan light filled the dark hallway, and the thugs turned towards the frots mage. An icy hawk flew by Kaz's face, leaving a trail of cold behind it. The bird poked and peeked at the face of the one with the bomb. The distraction pulled the man's hands away from the bomb.

The dark mages glared at the frost mage and began their charge. A cannon of ice blasted down the hallway toward the people. Kaz used the sound of the cannon to dash forward, faster than the cannon ball and landed behind the group.

The cannonball collided with one of them. Kazimir latched onto a third and threw them into the line of fire. The blast knocked all three down. Dan made a declaration as Kazimir stood behind the group. The leader of the pack stepped forward with a grin. "Is that so?" He waved his hand at two of his companions that started to charge forward. A scream came from one as they reached for their back. Blood spilled onto the floor. Kazimir held a blade of darkness in his hand that poured the man's crimson life force onto the floor.

The man fell to the ground howling from the lingering pain that ate at him until he fell unconscious. The site of blood jarred something within the wind mage that he gulped down.

"There's another one," the leader cried, but the second thug continued the charge toward Dan.

Kazimir gripped onto the back of a mage's head and a small eruption of air, encapsulated the man. Gusts of wind ricocheted through the hall as Kaz bounced around landing a scattering of sword slashes and wind blade attacks. The ones hit by the canon began to shuffle to their feet. One yelled as an unseen force lifted their leg and drug them back into the dark corners of the catacombs. The others went back to back scanning the area. A gust of wind flowed by and in an instant, another was snatched from the group. A thud was heard in the darkness with a small wimper as a man fell unconscious.

"He's right...You shouldn't have attacked," Kaz said as he glanced over to see the one with the bomb fight off the Ice hawk. He dashed over and smashed the man's head into the wall. Wind rushed through the tunnel, and swept away a couple more of the thugs.

Two more rushed Dan with outstretched hands brimming with acid magic. They planted their feet on the stone steps in the hall, against the force of their magic that poured outward.


The leader frowned and crossed his arms over his face. Yellow energy built up around him, like a dome and burst outward.

It should all work hopefully with out problem. Things Judith would never want to happen would, could still be solid and safe for this ideal Fairy Tail foundation. Then again this also showed that the things she found ideal would slowly function in their own way. But Judith was just internally pondering at this point but everyone was starting to head out exactly as Judith mentioned. It all just needed to go off with out a problem. But Judith had to ponder if she should be staying up stairs of not, Yet again she was getting carried away with in her own thoughts.

As for Esperia's comment."Well, depending on how effectively this situation is handle, I am sure you can provide you more then a simple."Maybe even willing to up it being more then just a sample but how that could be altered was a good question"We will speak of it later." Which was a fair thing to mention it would be something they talk about later. Since well everything was set into motion at this point, Letting out a sigh she would just use it as a moment to keep her own mind in line.


The seconds that pass far slower as she had been in thought with many things in her mind, But might be time to consider some kind of movement, After all it seemed it was just about to be expected for things to happen at some point. It would be wise to consider start moving some where else just in case some one choose to try and sneak off to see if they could catch Judith alone, for whatever reason a hostile take over of Fairy Tail could work. So Judith would make sure she put down just two glasses of wine that she had prepared before every one broke off to fight or wait.

And started leaving this up stair room to quietly start walking into a different room, She would start by going down stairs. Prepared to just go into a room closest to her when she reached the bottom of the stairs. So far it seemed like it would be interesting to have to figure out what else to do, But having to sneak around was not all that. It might cause a bit of chaos when it was mentioned Judith was gone, So she had to hope the guild members had faith in her that it was not a bad thing while she would sneak her way down stair to the main group of people and the fight.

It was perhaps to be expected, that Judith in her concern for the safety of the family she was now in charge of would take such a reckless action. But nonetheless, she had not expected for the fairy mother to be that daring in her actions. She wanted to call it foolish, but Esperia knew all too well the feelings that might had been going through Judith's being. Being that she had a family herself, Esperia understood the desire to protect them could often lead to one doing reckless things. Perhaps it was for that reason that Esperia heaved a sigh. "Mothers be mothers I guess~"

And with those words she started to make her way back into the guild hall. She might had no longer the stealthy nature of her old body that would have muffled her footsteps, but the festivities in the guild did do wonders for concealing both her approach and footsteps.

To Judith her ambush might had been a sound strategy, but to Esperia it was entirely the opposite, as the young Demigoddess would reveal soon. By the time Judith would descend down the stairs Esperia reached with a hand for the fairy mother's shoulder, clearly intending to stop her and when she did, and likely would make her turn around Esperia shook her head firmly. "Trust in your family Judith. Right now your place is not on the battlefield, beside, if you were to try to ambush the criminals in the basement the risks Kazimir and Dan are taking would be for nothing."

She shook her head firmly, soon continuing her explanation by clarifying further. "You are not just a mother, but also a leader, and your place right now is here, coordinating the efforts of your family. If anyone notices your absence there will be chaos, even more so considering the fact we have trouble approach, trouble aiming for your head. Please trust me in this, you will see soon enough just how important your safety is to everyone."

She gestured back toward the main hall where the festivities were ongoing, and hoped Judith would follow her back. If she did the moment they returned the sound of a commotion came from the entrance as a masculine voice called out. "Judith Karlinius! We're here to finish our job!"

A sudden scream came from behind the duo as a man had pushed aside two of the party-goers, a dagger in his hand and a look of pure madness in his eyes as he darted toward Judith, yet before he could reach her Esperia stepped between the two of them, a golden light manifesting on her back as the sacrificial shield emerged, and while the Demigoddess grabbed a hold of the man's hand, twisting it so he dropped the dagger and then proceeded to smash him onto the ground she called out.

"Mages of Fairy Tail, they have come for your leader's head! Will you let them?"

A voice suddenly boomed from amidst the crowd: "NAY! THOSE BASTARDS CAN CRAWL BACK TO THEIR HOLE IF THEY THINK THEY WILL TOUCH EVEN A HAIR ON OUR GUILD MOM'S HAIR!"

A tall and muscular man, seemingly the source of the voice was holding two of the terrorists in the air.

"People of Magnolia! Will you cower as those fiends threaten to take home and family from you?! Or will you stand up as one, to fight alongside your sworn defenders?!"

Even the party-goers seemed to be rallying to arms, some grabbing plates and forks and other utilities to overwhelm the invaders. Meanwhile Esperia stepped beside Judith, a smile on her lips.

"I told you earlier Judith: This burden is not yours alone to bear. Let Kazimir and Dan be your sword, and I will be your shield. If possible I do appreciate some of your healing wonders to tend to the people, although motivated and rallied to the cause they are still ordinary citizen trying to protect that which is dear to them, so how about you give them the strength to do so?"

Of course by now as the festivities had devolved into an all-out brawl between the party-goers, citizen of Magnolia and Fairy Tail mages against the invading criminals Esperia did have to suppress the urge to smile as she heard the chants: FOR MAGNOLIA! FOR THE MOTHER OF FAIRIES!

"Maybe I overdid it a little with the encouraging~"

Dan released a sigh of relief as he saw Kazimir appear behind the mages. Honestly Dan was thankful as he was not sure if he would be able to handle all these people if they decided to turn there attention to him. Though the moment of relief was short lived as Dan saw a man running at him full tilt with anger in his eyes. Dan wanting to end this quickly claps his hands together and when they seperate a cyan spell circle 0.25 meters in diameter appears. As he opens his hands, a sword made of ice, one meter long and .07 meters wide appears in his right hand. Dan watched the man approach him though do to his anger his movements were sloppy and imprecise. Dan took advantage of this by dodging out of the way of the blows as the man began to get angrier and angrier.

Deciding to end this Dan stood still for a moment and waited for the man to charge again. Then quickly moved to the side and spun on the balls of his feet leaving him behind the assailant.. Dan then swung his ice blade at the mans back leaving a cut from his Right shoulder to his left hip. The man fell to the ground in pain as minor signs of frost damage made themselves apparent on his injured back. Thankfully the ice was preventing any major bleeding so the man's life was not in any severe danger.

As Dan turned back he saw a pair of mages had made there ways past Kazimir and were both preparing magic attacks. The magic circle was not familiar so Dan decided to be cautious and stomp the ground with one foot causing a cyan spell circle 0.25 meters in diameter to appear. From the circle a shield made of ice rose two meters in front of Dan just in time as well. And just in time as well due to the fact that the moment Dans frozen shield was in place it was battered by acid magic. 'man that was close if I hadn't gotten this up in time I would have been a goner there.' Dan thought as he watched as the pair continued to bombard his shield with acid. He could see his technique was holding for now but it wouldn't take long before it collapsed from the damages.

Dan turned his notice to Kazimir and saw him taking out these thugs like it was a every day occurrence. 'wow Kazimir is really taking these guys to school.' Dan thought as he watched the former guild master handle the other mages like they were nothing but rampaging children. 'hopefully I can keep this up a bit longer while I think of a plan.' Dan thought as he turned his attention back to the acid wielding Duo who were begining to get frustrated by Dan's shield. "So do you mind telling what made you think this was a good idea to attack one of the biggest not to mention strongest guilds in fiore." Dan asked as he held his technique up.

The man on the right looked at him with annoyance that a child years younger then him not only was able to counter his magic but was capable of doing so while having a conversation "shut up fairy fly I'm not saying jack." The man returned back causing Dan to roll his eyes. "Oh yeah a fly never heard that one before." Dan returned sarcastically as he reinforced his technique "Fine keep it to yourself we'll just as again after your in cuffs." Dan said as he waited for his next move.

Soon enough bodies would start to fly into fairy tail guild hall one after another until there were about seven large size holes in the walls. As the man looked on he would be outside of the guildhall of diary tail. But he could hear everything that's been going on inside. He was either two things when it comes to parties either he was late to them or he was the party. The One Man Party of Fairy Tail. BOOM!!! Just then another dark mage went inside the building. As he kept sending them inside. As Ghost looked on before he knew it. He had piled a large group of dark mages up. Right in front of the guild. As he looked on he would have cleaned up the remaining losers who have tried to come for the guild. As he looked on he would give a smile as he normally does. As he walked inside of the guild he would do a quick scan. Ghost would then realize that nobody was upstairs.

This was because he was informed that they all were downstairs. But something was off. Something was a bit different. He felt another Aura one that seems rather strange. Was it the Iron Monk has he returned? No, it was different than his a bit stronger. But he never felt it before. As he look on he would stop and he would close his eyes. As his skin was glowing and his now open eyes. He had the goldcrest in them. As he could not shake this feeling. It was as if this person was angelic yet completely not at the same time. "Could it be this person is the reason behind all of this? Or is this an angelic being or one of those sorry Rune Knight? Either way, it's not ok to do what they just did." Soon enough he would start to walk toward the stairs.

To which he could feel this new aura and more importantly the other guild members. Ghost would look at Rayne and then give a wink. As he started to go down there with them. Just as he did arrive he would see a new face to him as she dealt with the man. As he did walk toward the pair he would say to the Demi Goddess. "Let Kazimir and Dan be your sword, and I will be your shield. If the Captain is her sword and ao is Danny Boy and you fair lady is her shield. What does that make me?" He would say with a teasing tone of voice? As he started to laugh a bit. He was starting to come around to his old self. As he looked around before anyone could even say anything he would then say. "Sorry im late but I finish up the last of that dark mage wave upstairs. But Mother Fairy the captain wouldn't happen to be up ahead now, would he? " He would say that as he walked past the two and towards the way of Kaz and Dan. But stop as he wanted an answer from the two of them. Hoping that they were not back there.

Kazimir's eye glowed as he dashed behind the man with yellow energy building around himself. The angelic eye flickered and the yellow energy faded in an instant. The leade's hands clenched together.

"So the rumors are true that you still pirate the eye of an angel," The leader turned to the side so that he could face both Dan and Kazimir. Anger seethed on his brow as the two men were stopping him and from the sounds of it, the men upstairs were being halted too.

"Fairy tail...Fairy tail...Fairy tail," the last utterance of the word spat with vitriol. "How long have mage guilds run things. Stood as pillars of the community, governing authority, or drug us all into your battles with each other. How often have men like myself tried to rise up only to be stopped by you all? But Fairy Tail has grown weak. Complacent. And no longer will my organization be stalled by you, just because you possess magic. No more games with dark guilds and light guilds. Magic is far too abundant for all that now," he held up his hand as light surged around it. Tiny explosions rippled around his aura. "We have it now. And there is no more room for you in my city. A fallen Knight and a fledgling," he clenched his fist and the hall flooded with burst of starlight.

Kaz started to shield himself but glanced toward Dan down the hallway. The stars touched one of the thugs and burst them into flames and speckles of light. Kazimir pressed his heel into the ground and dashed forward. His speed outpaced the starlight bombs. He landed in front of Dan in the moments before the attack arrived.

Stars crashed into Kazimir's back. Eruptions of light illuminated the hallway, and streams of the wind mage's blood. The former guild leader smiled back at Dan and fell to a knee in the twilight of the explosions. "You are the future of the guild," Kaz spat blood out to the side of the hall. A thug raced up behind him.

"That was more painful than I thought...do me a favor...watch my back," Kaz said as the other thugs rushed beside the two of them. Kaz whirled around and thrust a hand outward. The thugs were beside him and out of his blast range, and would likely attack the mage while he was focused forward. He trusted Dan to fight them off.

Wind swirled around his hands, and bloodlust flashed across Kazimir's face. A tornado ripped down the hallway. Fragments of the walls tore off, but nothing that would cause major damage to the guildhall. The leader's jaw dropped as he was engulfed in the raging winds. Kazimir Stood with concentration focused on the enemy. He had to put him down before he got away to harm the guild. He would normally not be so reckless but he had faith that Dan would take care of the other two or it would give time for Ghost to arrive and assist with it. After all...that is what this guild is for. "There is new life in the guild. And I will not see it fall to the likes of you."

It seemed in reality Esperia was right but there was more personal ideas to Judith actions that she maybe was just worrying for no reason. But she was paranoid. She did not seem mad right away being stopped, If anything she could thank her later."It is, Other reasons I feel compelled into ensuring the safety of others."It did sound like she was making excuses at first. But she knew it was because she just needed to know."I do not lack faith in them,I just need to know and be sure they are safe."Judith meant well, But she was flawed, she knew she was flawed, She was self aware."I have faith in all of these people, But it will be something I promise to explain later."With that Judith would turn back around because of what Esperia had implied to return too, She should be back to where she was.

It was about knowing for sure members new and old where in safe and would manage to be okay. For that would make her feel better then other things she had went through already in life, Esperia did not know the stories yet but she could learn eventually. After all Dan did not know either.But what Esperia did seemed to make her smile."Fine, Let's us go back to where we were."Judith would not rush back to that place only because she just wanted to be sure she was not picked up. It would not be fair to linger over them in worry, It would only make everyone else worry as well. As for if she over did it, Judith did have an answer for that. she would mention it while walking up the stairs with Esperia, For maybe the insight was perfect.

Letting out a sigh."I will remain here, do make sure to go back into place where I mentioned before."She would say that as she seemed to stand still, wait and listen. Whatever else was going to be happening, hoping that the mental heartbreak of some one getting really hurt never touched her ears. But she still had her faith in people the now in Fairy Tail to finish this. Maybe she to plot the celebration forward into the future go completely not only her new role but this victory.

Just how did she go about it, So Judith would start moving barrels around. It was time to dig up all of the barrels hidden in the back. The best things to drink would not be brought forward for then they were done. Setting up the glasses for the best ale and wine she had buried away here.

Dan watched as the apparent leader began to rant and rave about fairy tail and the guilds themselves. Before snapping and releasing his magic indiscriminately even hitting one of his own men causing him to burst into flames. Dan watched in shock as one of the starlight attacks shot in his direction to fast to put up a defense. Dan watched as the attack got closer and closer almost if in slow motion. Dan felt his life flash before his eyes as he remembered his father teaching him his magic, the day in the woods when the fairy tail mage saved his life, being a part of the guild he has dreamed of practically since he could talk. All of these things and more were shown to him as he raised his arms in a desperate attempt at a defense and closed his eyes to await the impending flames.

Dan heard the explosion and felt the heat sweep by his face only to realize he did not feel any pain to accompany them. Dan opened his eyes to see Kazimir had used his body to protect him from the spell. Dan's eyes widened as he watched Kazimir turn back around and asked him to watch his back. Dan watched as two mages prepared to attack Kazimir from the back causing him to rush forward and claps his hands together, when his hands came apart a cyan magic circle 0.25 meters in diameter appears between Dan's palms. Dan then thrusts both hands forward causing a animated ice sculpture in the form of a hawk to fly toward the left target in a straight line in a attempt to bite and claw at him. Dan watched as the frozen hawk pecked and clawed at the mans face and arms.

Knowing the first thing was going to be busy for a bit he turned to thug two and stomps on the ground with one foot causing a cyan spell circle 0.25 meters in diameter to appear. From the circle a cannon made of ice, .25 meters tall and one meter long formed. The cannon fired a projectile of ice  .1 meters in diameter at thug two hitting him in the chest causing him to go flying into the wall knocking him unconscious. Having delt with the two thugs Fan turns his attention back to Kazimir and the leader of these people.

Ice shrouded around the wind mage as Dan doused the raging group of thugs that flanked them. An Ice hawk on one and a canon on the other. Despite his new arrival to the guild, Dan showed that he was more than capable as a mage on the rise. The wind roared as he toppled the brick and mortar on the side of the walls. The leader was swept up in the fury and slammed rolled down the hall until he bashed into a wall. The leader slumped over with the fires leaving his eyes. Dan already vanquished the two thugs.

Kazimir took a step back, and a deep breath in. His eyes narrowed in a bit of confusion as he breathed in once more. He couldn't...it was gone. He could no longer smell the rancid scent of the intruders from a distance or any of the distinct smells from those above them. He looked at his hands he felt a strange lapse in power. It was gone...The course was lifted.

"Interesting," he muttered to himself before looking over at the young mage. "Are you alright Dan? That was good work," he checked to make sure the man wasn't bleeding from anywhere. A ruckus was happening above them and it seemed the others were bombarded by an onslaught as well.

"Seems like there is still more trouble above," he said with his final words waning as the wind mage staggered, wearily on his feet.
