Return

[Zero]

Aria suddenly found herself in a forest. Yet where was this forest and more importantly where were Hikaru and herself along with Hikari? Things were not turning out as planned. She was supposed to gain the ability to use genesis once more so that she could put it to use. Luckily Hikaru did not gain the ability to use Negion from her being a clone otherwise Hikaru would be much more of a threat than she already was."Hikaru what are those?”She pointed at two black dragons that were torching houses everywhere in sight."And why are they looking at us as if they think we are their next meal?"A green bubble of energy surrounded all three of them generated by Aria directly.

"I am not going to be a dragon's dinner."
She fired a soft blue colored beam from her hand killing one of the dragons without causing it any pain or discomfort."I am sorry but you need to be put down." At that she gathered green fire in her hands to throw at the other one which was attempting to burn it's way through the shield.

"My shield can't hold forever."

The dragons were already impaled by shards of rock by the time she got there. Elementals dont take kindly to non-natives attacking their homes, and as this was the continent Earth, they were especially protective of their homes, which lied within the forest. The dragons had never stood a chance against the powerful Elementals, and the fires were easily put out by the abundance of earth and rock to cover it with.

When Aria showed, a bow was pulled back by a few nearby Elementals at her. "Who are you, and why are you here?"

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru stood near Aria, she was with the failed clone of herself, but not for any good reason. Having decided to use the girl for what she needed, she later planned to destroy her when it was convenient. Completely un-interested in Aria's problems, Hikaru walked forward, sensing a presence nearby. They weren't alone.  And this suspicion was confirmed true, when the two were faced at bow point.

"Well that was quick..." Hikaru muttered as she walked even more forward, glaring at the Elemental that had spoken. "We're looking for the Anrufe. This child said they would be here, so we came here. If they aren't, I have no business with incompetent fools like you, or your .....pests."

[@Pokemon Master Red]

"Anrufe? We do not know of any called the Anrufe..." He said, ignoring the insult she'd issued him. He could sense the first one was weaker, and of no consequence, but the other...While they indeed had similar magical power, it was obvious that this other was stronger, and somewhat similar to the Fires in terms of proficiency of magic. Ticking her off...Well, he wouldn't want to be the one to explain to the Hunter why the entire land of Earth was turned to ash. He lowered his bow, and motioned for the others to do the same."However, you do not seem openly hostile...and so you are free to search our land, as long as you obey our laws. All that we ask is that you dont harm the forest or any of the other Elementals. Is this fair enough?"

[Queen Bright]

"The  Anrufe are a rather weak group, that likes to cause trouble." Hikaru replied, "They're of no threat to my kind, but judging by your magic signature, I would recommend you keep yourselves unknown to them as long as possible. Especially now, when anyone that stands a chance, is currently.... upheld." She figured she didn't need to mention hell, or the fact that most of the strongest magic users were currently gone, the less fights started, the easier it would be to take it all later.

"In any case..." She muttered, "I assure you I will leave yourself and your land alone.....for now. However if this girl, does anything, go ahead and kill her, she is of no concern to me. "  With that, Hikaru materialized something spherical in her hands. It was white, but had a glowing ring of blue that pulsed every few seconds. Focusing her energy to the sphere, she began to charge it with her own magic, but what radiated out was not her own magic signature, but the owner of the object. JT's soul. With the charge of magic through it, it gave a pulse of his magic signature, strong enough for any sage to feel.

[K2]

Surge.
A surge of magic, red, almost like electricity, striked the ground near the party. The surge of 'lightning', the newly created Dom Magic, built itself up, the red forming the shape of a human which materialized there. It was Reli, the newest member of the Anrufe, surging with electricity. He observed the situation carefully.

"The magic signature outputted from this location moments ago, according to my memory, matches that of a race called the Starclan. Anrufe intelligence says that the very race is completely gone. Which one of you are Starclan?"

[Queen Bright]

In response to Reli, Hikaru threw the soul up into the air, and it disappeared, its purpose served for the time being. After that, she glanced the kid over, surveying him. This was one of their group she hadn't seen before, probably a newbie. "No one, and nothing." She replied. "However, I do want to speak to whoever leads you. I know it can't be my father, as I can't sense him any longer. However it also can't be no leader, as you still came at my signal. So who is it, and where can I find them? Your group has something I want."

[K2]

"Our leader is busy," Reli commented, "But I can speak for him."

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru sighed. "Very well then. The Seal of Eternity, I want it."

[K2]

"The Mark Of Eternity?" He opened a telepathic communication conversation with KiaB, using a displacement spell. "Yes, we will trade you the mark.. In return for the dead body, intact, of the one they call Mark Tepper, currently residing in Aralia."

[Queen Bright]

"Seal, Mark, same thing in my book," Hikaru responded. "However I've done deals with your group before. And the Anrufe is quite known for going back on them, including once such deal that led to my imprisonment by your former leader. No... I want to see the mark, physically, before making any agreements. Which is why I want to talk to your leader. So no illusions are set up."

[K2]

"My leader is acquiring a third of the largest military technology company in the dimension at the moment. You will have to take my word for the fact that I have the mark," Reli explained.

[Queen Bright]

"Hmph, Technology. If that's what you're after now, then the Anrufe really have become weak." Deciding to try another approach, Hikaru diverted the subject. "Speaking of which, you're unfamiliar. Who are you, when you did you join, and what power do you posses? Answer this, and I may be more inclined to trust you."

[K2]

"Hm? Technology? Manufacturing technology is different from using technology. The manufacturing of technology leads to the increase in stock of technology products. The increase in Anrufe magic-based attacks on mortal empires leads to the increase of demand of technology. With the Anrufe in possession of the very company which produces this technology, the Anrufe gains large amounts of treasures. The formula is simple," Reli explained. "I am Reli, a negi created by my master, KiaB, days ago. My power? Perhaps a demonstration is in order.."

And so, Reli glanced at Hikaru, and a red ray of some sorts shot down from the sky towards her.

[Queen Bright]

With a glance at the ray, Hikaru quickly teleported out of the way, and onto the other side or Reli. She wasn't in the mood to fight, especially if they didn't have proof of what she wanted.  "No thanks." She mumbled, still keeping her guard up, and watching for anymore rays. "Either show me to your leader, and show the mark, or I'll just be taking my leave. I have more things to do, and really DON'T feel like wasting my time here. Not until I have proof you have it, anyways."

[K2]

"My leader, who has the mark, can't join us. So, if you want the mark, take my word that we have it. Otherwise, leave," Reli warned.

[Queen Bright]

"Very well then." Hikaru replied. With that she disappeared.

[K2]

Reli also vanished.
