The scarred Egyptian born Solar mage made his way in to the dark, dank holding cells where their victims were being held. To his delight, they were restrained and helpless. To him, it was satisfying to see his enemies restrained and powerless. An arrogant grin crawled across his scalded face beholding this sight. His dark eyes then fell upon his Guild Master, to whom Ciaran called the Fire Princess. She was the only one respected and bowed to. "I see that you are having fun with our prisoners, my Queen," he approached her and knelt before her. "We have accomplished what you have sent us to do. The Water Dragon Slayer is within our possession," he then looked to the annoyingly loud Fairy Tail Dragon Slayer. "You do not address her. You are not worthy," he rose to his feet and glared at the little girl".

☂The blood mage would mention how not being close to the members of her guild, could result into never having backup. "You light mages are really idiotic. Think of it this way, if you are too close friends with someone, they can easily be used against you in a war or fight. You would end up losing everything, because you had to be so stupid as to get too close with someone, that you just couldn't bare losing them. By that time, you've already lost your friend, and everything you've ever had a chance of receiving. As long as you don't get close, you will not lose anything. Let's take an example of that little weak fragile girl you like so much, she's so weak she could easily be captured and be used to get anything one would want from you. Because of that, you would lose everything you've ever strived for! It's pointless to have friends, better to call them guildies." Kimura would tell him with a sick smirk crawling over her lips, loving to talk about his little girlfriend, he knew he loved her, he was just in total denial. What was even better, her words seemed to be starting to truly bother him, everything she told him was becoming such a success as that's what she was aiming for the entire time. "Ohh, can you now?? So, it's alright to blindly murder thieves? You realize there just people trying to get by in this world, not everyone is born rich and bratty such as yourself. It's ok to kill thieves, just because there bad guys? You really believe that is right?" She would scoff at his remark, remembering him saying how it was okay to kill bad guys, but how right truly was that, there is never any right in this world. He would seem to not recognize the girl, maybe because they were away in different guilds, that was to be more expected, yet he somehow still knew who she was. That truly wasn't as fun now, it would be nice if she could harm a saber right in front of him, now that would be truly wonderful. It was no fun if he wasn't going to show any pity for her. Kimura would have a tiger to use in front of him, if these idiots could ever get the job done, referencing towards the poison slayer. She couldn't help but laugh at Raine's remark to staple Kaya's mouth shut, he must not of cared at all for her, maybe she could use that to have some fun with the water slayer. "Doesn't seem he cares for your well being at all, but why would he? You are a stranger after all. Who really cares about someone you don't know, it doesn't really effect you whatever happens to them." She would smirk while saying, cold golden eyes peering towards Kaya's direction.
Kimura would turn around to face her Dark prince as she calls him, a smirk remaining as her attention focused on him as he spoke. "What a sweetie, I hope you enjoy yourself in that case." She would speak sweetly towards her little boo, occasionally she did date around as she could never stick to one guy, but she would always prefer him most with his subtle loyalty. Most being cheated on would be hurt like some butt hurt babies, but Ci was different, he didn't think like that and that's what she loved most about him. Aadava would soon enough make his return from his mission of capturing, thanking him for being a success, along with Ciaran. Unlike some people who she still had to wait on. "I thank you both for your success in bringing this fairy here. I'll be sure you both receive a nice bonus for your success." She would speak of paying them for not failing, and completing the goal she would of asked from them. "If you wish Aadava, you may take a break, have some fun with the fairy or tiger, or help out the rest of my members out. It is up to you what you wish to do, you may as well do anything on your own, should you desire it." She would say as he deserved his own fun for a second form of payment, plus she too cared for him and only wished for him to truly enjoy him, though he would silence the slayer as Kim gave him the okay. "It's quite alright dear, who would I be to keep her here without any information?" She would say simply, before sliding back to Kaya. The water slayers questions of uncertainty of whom the girl was, would soon go answered. "I am called Kimura Tenma, and I know yours is Kaya Tsukino. I have learned much from you, a selfless fairy who seeks to protect her friends, and is quite stubborn in all that she does. You are too weak for me, but it is only your dragon abilities I require." Kaya seemed to not believe the thought that she had so kindly put into her head, oblivious to the truth. "You lack the knowledge of what has happened it seems, the news sources won't tell the truth, because to them it is all still a mystery. You see my sweet little fairy.." Kim would stroll a bit closer towards Kaya's cage, hoping to get her to see the truth of the matter. "Yes, we did capture Clement at first, it was proving to be a success. But he was rather stubborn to continue being an experiment, and found a way to break out. I chased the man halfway from the laboratory, where I cut off his escape route. There was an epic battle in the end, and though I had hoped to recapture him, I had to put far too much force into fighting him that I accidentally killed him instead. If he had just accepted being a lab experiment, the man would still be alive to watch over his "children". I wouldn't have had to resort to such extremes, had he been more willing to comply." She would speak of how the event took place, his escape nearly a success, but the fight proved to difficult to catch, instead she had no choice but to kill him as he knew too much about her plans and what he had seen, she just couldn't allow him back into the public with such knowledge. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Raine felt that no matter what he said, this girl wasn't going to have the same views as him. She didn't want friends or family? That was her problem. He never particularly wanted friends but having the back up of his guild family had always been a secret comfort for him. He narrowed his eyes at the mention of Octavia again; as if he wasn't struggling enough to remove that annoying star child from his brain already. He wondered, would he give up his darkest secrets and innermost fears if he was presented with his capture guild mates? Would he be able to watch Ymir or Andrea suffer and not say anything? Probably not.
He quirked an eyebrow at the girl who once again went off on a tangent, accusing him of being no better than her,"You sure you watched me properly? Clearly your people haven't been paying attention to detail. I don't bother with petty criminals. They're not worth my magic energy. It's only the real bad guys I like to tear apart,"he said, the mad glint in his golden eyes vaguely showing through regardless of the sedative. Blood Raine would never miss an opportunity to brag,"Murders that avoided jail on a technicality, serial rapists who prey on the innocent, gangs who go round shooting people or destroying homes and businesses when they can't afford to pay their so-called 'protection money',"his psychotic side shuddered in pleasure at the memory of so many evil bodies spattered across the floor before abruptly turning back to normal. Glaring at Ci with glazed-over eyes, he smirked at the words the Irishman spoke,"Sputnik? Very good. You must have read my history,"he said. Generally his Russian roots weren't anything the media covered. Who cared where the Sabertooth ace came from if you had a photograph of him in a tight shirt? His face dropped at another mention of being in love and he rolled his eyes dramatically and sighed,"Don't think so much of yourself, I have no reason to be jealous of you and that brat. I have no 'glad eye' for anyone either. I have no need for a kindred spirit to love because I have a contact list full of women who would do anything please me so tell me, why would I need the affection of silly little girl?"he snapped. That's all she was. A silly little girl who flinched when he looked at her and trembled when he so much as brushed her skin. She wasn't worth his interest. A new voice resounded through the corridor. A man with white-blonde hair and tanned skin who looked like he'd been through the wars appeared, scolding the tiger and the fairy for speaking disrespectfully to the girl who had finally revealed her name as Kimura Tenma,"I think you'll find I'll address whoever I want and speak to them however I want and whenever I want. If you have a problem with that, I dare you to come closer,"he stared at the man. Raine's magic was extremely limited in his current state, but the newcomer was covered in cuts and scrapes. If he was stupid enough and came too close the blood mage would most likely have some control. Hearing Kimura begin to tell Kaya about the death of her guild master, he knew the conversation wouldn't end well. He prepared himself for the dragon slayer to have some sort of fit of rage or a break down. That wouldn't be fun. Maybe he should have asked for ear plugs before he was rude to everyone.
OOC:I know Aadava wasn't technically speaking to Raine but he's drugged up and loves himself too much not to consider himself part of the conversation

“I have no doubt that I will.” Even as he uttered the words, his enjoyment mounted. Raine seemed to dislike his fellow light mage prisoner. Perhaps a rivalry between the fairies and tigers? Or maybe something as simple as the drugs coursing through his veins...? Whatever the case, Ciaran did not miss the snide remark regarding the Dragon Slayer. Neither did Master Kimura. As his Flame Princess toyed with the young girl, his gaze remained fixated upon the Blood mage. “I’ve done more than read your history.” He tucked his hands behind himself, resting them at the small of his back, and leaned in closer. A secret gleamed in his eyes. “Who do you think gathered all the information on you? It was me. I have many functions within the guild. Mage, artist, lover…yet foremost is as my Princess’s right hand. She bids me a task, I see it to completion. Which is why I was assigned to research the various guilds. Your day to day lives. Your backgrounds and histories. All of it is known to me. And that is precisely why I know you to be in denial.” All his pomp and circumstance would circle around to that singular pointed statement. The red-head may not recognize the signs of love, having been deprived of such emotions from an early age, but they were there nonetheless. His persistent denial, incessant belittling of the girl were key indicators that he truly cared for her. Ironically, the more fervent his repudiation, the more interested the dark mages became of testing his resolve on the matter. “Alas, I must admit…I don’t know why you would care for the Celestial Wizard. I can’t prove that you have a glad-eye for her either. At least, not right now. We could retrieve her though. Have a little fun with her until you admit your feelings…or she dies…whichever comes first. After all, she’s not of any use for our experiments. What say you?” Ciaran did not honestly care for a response. Raine would have no choice in whether they targeted the woman or not. Yet he could not deny the desire he felt. To see the expression and hear the declaration of intent from the man.
It was at that moment that Aadava chose to join them. His skin was ashy and scarred from the last of the blows delivered upon him by the light mages. Although, he seemed to be carrying himself well enough. At least well enough to bow to Master Kimura, declaring victory over the fairies. Ciaran suppressed a role of his eyes at the display. The Son of Ra should not have taken as long as he did, nor should he have been as close to defeat as he had been. The white-haired mage chose to keep these facts silent. Credit for victory did not concern him, especially since his Master deemed both worthy of praise and reward. “I thank you, Flame Princess.” He bowed deeply once again. Arising at the same instant as Aadava, he noted the disdain the Solar mage held for the Dragon Slayer, berating her for addressing Kimura; however, it was Raine’s retort that drew his full focus. “Ah, very clever.” Ciaran placed himself betwixt the Blood and Solar mages. “Even in your semi-conscious state you managed to pick up on my guildmate’s condition. I sincerely hope you aren’t wanting to use your magic in your state. You may be powerful, but your control is lacking. I dare say you’d do more harm than good if you even attempted an attack. Besides,” he peered over his shoulder. “Aadava is smarter than you give him credit for.” Studying the fresh welts on the man’s tan skin, he spared a second to speak directly to him. “Was it the Water Dragon or her friends who marred your skin, Aadava? Whichever the case, I believe some recompense is in order. Don’t you?” His efforts to impede any approach towards Raine were subtle. Aadava was not one to take orders from anyone save for Kimura. If he perceived the message to be anything other than his idea, there was a chance he would approach and place their plans in jeopardy. Inspite of this, Ciaran also desired to see penance achieved for his guildmate. If for nothing more than to redeem the pride of the guild. “Master Kimura would likely enjoy the show…once she has finished speaking with her, of course. And Blood Raine here has already stated his disregard for the Slayer.” A feral grin touched his lips. He could nearly taste the torment on the horizon.
Her vision blurred. It was difficult to focus. Kaya stopped her straining for the time being, instead placing all her efforts into remaining aware and coherent. Registering that the dark-haired girl was speaking to her, she zeroed in on what had been said. Her ice blue orbs tracked over to the red-headed male in the cell opposite her. She stared blankly at him for a moment. Finally, it registered who he was. Raine Valentine from Sabertooth. She’d seen his endorsements for a hair care line many times. Some of her guildmates liked looking at his issues of Sorcerer’s Weekly as well. “So?” The Dragon Slayer shrugged one shoulder, regretting it almost instantly as pain flared anew. He didn’t have to care about her if he didn’t want to. He wasn’t her babysitter or even part of her guild. Why would he need to bother himself for her? While it was in her nature to worry for others and protect them, she had long since grown to understand that not everyone possessed the same mindset. Although she didn’t agree with it, it wasn’t her place to force others to feel the way she did. The man likely kept his concerns close to home with Sabertooth. Kaya spent little time dwelling on the hidden meaning of the woman’s words; instead, her curiosity lay more so on she was and what she wanted. Just as she asked these things, a familiar and unpleasant scent joined with the others. The Solar mage from the battlefield arrived, immediately bowing to the smaller girl. Kaya smirked when she saw the damage done to him. They may have beat them in the end, but the evidence of their unwillingness to surrender lay evident on his tan skin. Her apparent unworthiness of addressing the other enraged the man, and he promptly rose to his feet to admonish her. “Heh, like I care what you think.” The raven-haired teenager glowered back. “Try and stop me. I wasn’t talking to you anyway.”
Kaya’s gaze found the cold golden ones of the other. Kimura? Something niggled at furthest recesses of her mind. A sense of urgency that seemed attached to the name. But why? The name wasn’t familiar to her, or so she thought. She certainly never remembered meeting her before or hearing anything of her guild. Uncertainty laced her features. This Kimura person knew a lot about her. Has she been spying on me? Whatever the case, Kaya wasn’t about to let slight go unanswered. “If I’m so weak then why d’ya got me chained up? Seems like a lot of effort to hold someone who’s weak. Or are you scared that I’m gonna beat you and your goons?” She yanked on her chains for emphasis and sneered. “And if you want to see my abilities so bad, then take these stupid things off. I’d be happy to show ya.” Kimura chose instead to persist in getting Kaya to believe that Master Clement perished. She barked out a sharp laugh. “You’re wasting your breath. I’m never gonna believe anything you say. Just admit that Master Clement beat you and get over it. Simple as that.” There was absolutely no way that the Guild Master of Fairy Tail was dead. There were no bodies, no breaking news stories, nothing. If Kimura wanted her to believe such, then she’d have to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. “Where’s the proof, huh? You got a body? Because I sure as hell don’t smell one around here. Not his. Not Renae’s. Not Kai’s. The scents in here are old. Which means you’re lying, or else I woulda picked up fresh ones.” Nope, until she saw something that proved otherwise, she’d believe that they’d escaped from the dark guild. That they were safe somewhere.

Aadava took a step forward toward the bars of Valentine's cell, but then stopped realizing what the Blood Mage was attempting to do. He gave a smirk knowing that his wounds were fresh and that if he were close enough, that would give him the power he needed. "You must think me a fool, Valentine," the smirk never left his face. "As much as I would love to scorch your skin and bones with my own hands, I'm afraid we will have to wait for that entanglement," that was when Ciaran placed himself between him and the caged Blood Mage. Ciaran knew of Aadava's hot temper and didn't want him to do anything that would prove stupid in the end and ruin their plans. But, in Aadava's mind, the intervention was premature. That was when the Irishman redirected his focus on the wound he received during the battle. His eyes narrowed and his head turned to the Water Dragon Slayer. A wave of intense heat rose from the surface of his skin. "It is not what I think, Little Girl," venom and bitterness was in each and every consonant he spoke. "You are a lowly mage who has no business addressing my Flame Princess unless she speaks to you first. In our eyes, you are unworthy of her presence," he then had to calm himself down. "If it is alright with my Princess," his words were softer as he spoke to Kimura, "I wish to take vengeance on this lowly being for damaging my flesh," his tone was of the highest respect.

☂ Raine seemed to disagree with the fact it was okay to kill helpless thieves, only stating his own terms would simply agree more to killing off real awful murders, that he'd even give the time to fully use his magic. The true bad guys, who only seemed to rain hard on the world, and be brutal against the innocent. "That said, how's it any different from murderers like you say? At the end of the day, you're doing the same stunt to the same type of people, you're really no different from the rest." Kimura would say with a smirk, twisting his words and trying to get into his head and mind. She could overhear her big halloween boo talking about the one who goes by Octavia, Rain'es undeniable crush. She enjoyed what she was hearing, the girl becoming retrieved into there hands, only to use to toy the feelings and most personal thoughts out of Raine, what a truly marvelous idea. Surely, it wouldn't be any difficulty at all catching the little girl, who knows maybe she'll even come to them as someone must be trying to find them in order to attempt a rescue mission. However, the fact anyone had lacked any real knowledge of where the location was, were truly gonna prove such a task quite difficult. Kimura would turn to Kaya, with the thoughts and question of calling her out to be weak, yet taking the actions of tying her down instead of keeping her pinned herself. "You consider yourself strong, yet you find yourself trapped. If you were truly strong, you would of been able to stop my "goons" from capturing you. You don't know real power, and I can already tell just by looking at you. It would be a waste to release you to prove a worthless point, I can't risk killing you off anyways. I've already seen much of your abilities before, they're nothing in comparison to what I would consider true power. You are nothing to me but an experiment in order to gain what I desire, that's it." The dark mage guild leader would tell the girl truthfully, the grin still plastered over her face as she spoke coldly to her.
The conversation would turn as Kaya simply wasn't seeming to believe that her guild leader and dear friends had unfortunately met an untimely demise. She'd laugh quite a bit at the girls needless remarks, failing to believe anything she said was even remotely true. It mattered not weather the girl believed her or not, for the time would come soon enough, and realization would slowly but surely dawn on her. "The smells old, because they've been long gone. Have you received any texts from them, heard any news? Shocker if you haven't. Why would I really need to lie about something so trivial? Depending on how this goes, you very well may be joining them." Kimura replied with a killer smirk, before turning as Aadavaa would request to have permission to take revenge on the one who burned him in good. "Go right ahead, my dear. As long as you do not kill her, you are free to do however you like with her." She would tell him, allowing him permission he desired in order to get back at Kaya, for what she had done to him. She would stroll back, stopping beside Rain'e encasement. Aadaava was about to have some fun with Kaya, so she allowed him to do as he pleased with her, as there was no need to mess with her in the moment. Plenty of more times would arise, and he had a far greater reason for desiring such a decision. Eyes locked on the blood mage, the discipline began. "Raine, you will not touch any of my subordinates or so much as give them a weird look." She would look cold dead into his own eyes, a dead serious look grazing upon her own eyes. "Just keep in mind that I can just as easily kill Octavia, or any of your sabertooth friends, quite easily. And I would do it right in front of you, so the memory is fresh. Do you understand me?" Kimura stared, not even blinking or moving at all. She would wait ever so patiently for his response back. It is as they say..an eye for an eye."

Raine stared at Kimura,"I never said I wasn't a murderer but I'm certainly not as bad as them. I suppose in a way I'm unholy justice,"his tone held a hint of disgust at the idea of having such a title. He didn't care for silly labels, nor did he really think of himself as any kind of saviour. His 'other side' killed for fun, he knew that and he was sure the dark wizards knew that too. The fact he only killed bad people was proof he still had a shred of control over Blood Raine. Not that the dark wizards would believe it after what some of them had seen him do. He narrowed his eyes at Ci,"So it was you. You were the one watching what happened between Octavia and I. Surely from that you should realise I have no interest in her. After all, I did nearly break her fragile little neck,"he stated. Within the depths of his mind, guilt stirred at the mention of the events in the celestial wizard's bathroom but it never showed on his half-sedated face, instead his lips curled into a slight smirk. Much closer to the surface, Blood Raine remembered the fearful, tear-filled emerald eyes of the girl he wanted to drain and relished in the memory. The blood mage exhaled in a lazy amused laugh at the tan-skinned man named Aadava,"Not just a pretty face, then. No matter,"he said with a tone of nonchalance, ignoring the threat thrown his way,"There's always another way."Deciding against his better judgement, Raine bit down on his lip so hard it broke the skin. His golden eyes flashed in the dim light and the sound of his blood dripping to the cold floor echoed in the room. He concentrated. The blood droplets started to move, levitating slightly before shooting forward. But they fell short, not quite reaching the door of his cell. He wasn't sure why he'd expected anything more and he sighed dramatically, acting as though he wasn't bothered when in reality he was sorely disappointed he hadn't even dirtied the expensive clothes his enemies wore. Flicking his eyes to Kimura as she addressed him in her naturally snotty tone, he tilted his head with a bored look on his face,"Bite me, b***h."he said, blood still dripping down his chin,"None of them will fall for your petty tricks. I'll be the first to admit I was foolish to be so distracted that I didn't notice the drugs but it's bound to have been noticed by now that several strong members of the guild have gone missing. Ymir will have all of the weaker mages under S-class guardianship."He was certain this would be true, especially once people realised the house that was ablaze back in L.A. was his. They'd know something wasn't right and if Ymir wasn't home yet, Andrea was more than capable of taking charge. They would be safe providing they didn't do anything stupid. On the other hand, the fairy, Kaya, was mouthing off and basically begging to be abused. Now that Aadava had been given permission to cause harm, he was sure the dragon slayer would end up worse than him.

Ciaran was pleased to see his guildmate’s response to his suggestion. Aadava wasted no time in requesting permission from Kimura to harm the girl whom seemed determined to accrue injury by remaining defiant. She truly needs to learn respect for the Master. He disliked her devil-may-care attitude against his Flame Princess. In truth, he desired to teach her that very lesson, yet he deigned to await the appropriate moment. To act in concert with Aadava could incur severe injuries upon her. Master Kimura required the girl for her experiments. It simply would not do to have her succumb to injuries until she was no longer useful. No, better to let the Son of Ra delve out his chosen punishments. I’m having fun playing with Blood Raine anyway. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to torment the fairy later. Ciaran’s yellow orbs danced with glee. The Blood mage yet again demonstrated his denial of his feelings. “Ah,” he held up a single finger in objection. “You mean it was your alter ego who nearly broke her neck. I’m sure you were in there somewhere. Begging him to stop. Hoping desperately to take back control. Am I right?” There was no need for an answer. “Deny it all you like, but your guilt betrays you. The truth can’t be hidden.” Providing time for his words to sink in, Ciaran fell silent while Aadava spoke his piece. Raine’s reaction sat poorly with him. His words bringing a frown to his features. Would you dare? He noticed the movement of the man’s lips. Saw the blood begin to dribble down his chin to the stone floor below. Witnessed the blood coalesce into tiny bullets that darted to the cell, only to fall short. In that instant, the dark mage knew that the Sabertooth mage would attempt anything if it meant harm to them. Ciaran felt content in this knowledge. It was yet another piece of information they could utilize.
Chills of utter rapture flowed through him. There were few things in this world that pleased him as much as aiding Kimura. Chief among those additional pleasures was gaining knowledge. For knowledge was power, and power was the key to their goals. His ecstasy enhanced all the more by the proximity to his lover and Master. Kimura stood near to Raine’s cell. Her cold glare and firm establishment of the rules enticed him to draw nearer. Such fire in the coldness. He loved it. The Sabertooth, however, did not quite grasp the enormity of his circumstances. “I wouldn’t say things like that if I were you, Blood Boy. Think about where you are. The things you say here may come to fruition should you press too much. As the fairy is about to find out.” The white-haired mage pivoted sideways so that he could lean against the wall, allowing his shoulder to keep him propped up, while folding his arms across his chest. “Watch carefully now. You may not care for the fairy, but consider this a taste of what can just as easily be done to your tigers.” A pause for dramatic effect. “This could be your little Octavia.” Lips curled in a devilish grin. The mere thought of it sent a thrill through him. How he hoped the Dragon Slayer would scream. To drive the point further home. To test the depths of Raine’s true lack of humanity.

"Thank you, my Princess," Aadava bowed his head in humility to his Guid Master. He raised his head and gave a malicious glare to Kaya. His eyes flared with Solar Magic. They glowed vibrantly and violently. All around him, the heat rose tremendously. The heat could be seen leaving his body. As the heat was radiating outwards, Aadava manipulated it to be directed in to the cell that Kaya was in. This intense, dry heat only continued to rise. It was reminiscent of desert heat. It sapped all of the moisture from the air and from the body. It was heavy and oppressive. "You scorched my face you insolent whelp, now you will have a taste of Ra's vengeance," he growled as the heat poured in to Kaya's cell.
The other woman glared at her. Her icy tone matched the coldness in her eyes. Argh, Kaya grit her teeth. Kimura was talking down to her, treating her as nothing more than an experiment and laughing at her. That caused her blood to boil even more. It was one thing to consider her weak. She could prove her it easily enough when given the chance. While she could be prideful at times, her identity wasn’t wrapped up in being the strongest person alive. All she cared about was having enough strength to protect her friends and family. But you didn’t, did you? The thought stung to acknowledge. They’d fought hard but, in the end, she hadn’t been able to defend her guildmates. She hated that fact. To admit that even the tiniest bit of truth existed in the dark mage’s words pained her. Not that she would tell her as much. “We almost beat ‘em. If I’d been at my best…” The Dragon Slayer hesitated. Revealing an injury to these mages was a bad idea. “Your goons weren’t playing fair,” she muttered instead. “Too bad you won’t take me up on the fight. There’re still a few surprises up my sleeve.” Kaya imbued her words with all the confidence she possessed. She couldn’t let on her true feelings. Emotions that were distant to her, yet familiar somehow. Being viewed as weak was something that she could deal with in a physical manner. Prove to others just how strong she could be. She could even face being patronized through a show of defiance. However, it was the stripping of her humanity, seeing her as a possession or object and nothing more, which stirred dormant sensations within. No! That’s a load of s**t! I’m not gonna buy into it! Resisting the tide of unwelcome doubt, the teenager clenched her fists and lashed out in the only way she could. “I’m not gonna just stand around and let you do whatever the hell you want on me. And I’ll do whatever it takes to mess up your goal. There’s no way you’re gonna achieve it. Not while I’m alive. Not while Fairy Tail and Sabertooth and all the other guilds are still around.” Her words were forceful and assured. No matter what Kimura and her guild tried, the light mages would be there to stop it.
As much as Kaya tried to get her to see that, Kimura put the same amount of effort into making her believe her Clement, Kai, and Renae were dead. “Nice try, Oompa Loompa.” She snarked. “Smell’s old because they’re not here. Living or dead, I’d smell them if the bodies were here. No matter what.” Even as she spoke, the niggling sensation tugged at her once again. Hadn’t she smelled blood when she first woke up in this place? Hadn’t it been familiar? Probably old, from being tortured…if it was theirs at all. The teenager just couldn’t bring herself to ponder that for long. Kaya latched onto other things in Kimura’s statement. “In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t have my cellphone on me. So, I wouldn’t know one way or another. Same with the news. I may not be the smartest in the guild, but I can tell what you’re trying to do. You’re tryin’ to mess with my head so I won’t put up resistance. Good luck with that. Go ahead though, keep lying and see how much I listen.” The Dragon Slayer looked away from the girl then. An air of indifference showed in her demeanor. “Never gonna happen.” Growing weary, Kaya tried to focus on something else. Aadava had other plans though, inserting himself into the conversation. She rolled her eyes at the so-called Son of Ra. “You’re the ones that brought me here. I was as far away from her dumb presence as could be. It’s not my fault that Chibi-Chibi there keeps blabbing.” Her annoyance shined in every word. An annoyance that grew even more when the tanned man requested permission to seek revenge and was granted it. He spun back around, glaring at her while heat radiated from his skin. The raven-haired teenager could see the waves of heat. It curled and roiled as its caster manipulated it into her cell. Intense and pervasive, the heat knocked the wind from her lungs. She felt the moisture from her body stolen away, parching her lips and skin. “Tch,” Kaya leveled her gaze on him. Her body tried to regulate itself and compensate for the lack of moisture. Beads of sweat rolled down her back. “I think your face looks better that way. Too bad I missed the rest of you.” Every breath came out raspy and strangled in the oppressive warmth. It hurt to talk or breathe. But she couldn’t resist the insult.

☂ Kimura would chuckle at the blood mage, as he seemed to point out that while he may very well be a murderer, he wasn't viewing himself as horrible as one would truly be. The truth of the matter, he had a dark side, and that side did not make him any different than the rest of the dark guild, and that is what Kimura mostly believed. "Say what you want, but you will never be any different, not while you have a dark side inside of you, the other Raine." She would reply with a devilish smirk, continuing to prove her point. "You could never be considered any better off, or 'justice seeking' as you think you are." She would stare bemused as her partner was explaining how he had been watching the two light mages and there current romance for one another. Not only these two, but She knew every mage on the continent, every special skill of there's, and even went further as to gain what kind of things could be considered a weakness, all to make sure no one would be able to get in the way of her plans at work. And her members were the ones gaining such information, while remaining hidden by any mages who might be able to sniff them out. Kaya tried to justify how she would have won the battle, had she been at her best, which only resulted in an uproarious laugh from the leader. "It doesn't matter if you were at 100 percent or not, you would have never won. However, it would be rather unwise to try anything, not unless you seek death." She would warn the dragon slayer, knowing that Fairy tail had beliefs to never give up, despite the predicament they remained in. What a truly foolish thing to believe in. "You will, will you?" Kimura smirked, moving closer to the cage, a smirk withheld over her lips. "How will you go about doing that? Chained and imprisoned here, it's not likely anyone will be able to find you. This is a very well hidden lab, it's likely you'll be dead long before anyone comes rescuing you. Learn to accept defeat where it is met, you've lost little girl." Kimura would answer, even though the girl kept making such excuses as to not believe her when telling her the fairy tail guild master as well as the others were long gone dead and passed on.
She couldn't help but laugh at the girls denial, she was never going to believe her, and she really did not care whether she chose to or not. "Your denial is so cute. They are gone face it, they are not coming to save you. I don't care if you believe the truth or not, you will learn in time. It would be a complete waste of my time trying to get into your head, I'm merely giving you information that you will not have no leader rescuing you, to save you from getting your hopes up. Your whole guild will soon learn it, but don't worry. You will be joining your leader soon enough, in hell where you light mages belong." Kimura smirked, about to make her way to a different cell, glancing over at Aadaava as he simply gave a thank you followed by a bow, and proceeded to make his way towards Kaya with revenge written all over his actions, when she overheard the girl say something familiar to Aadaava. A look of shock filled her face, a hint of anger held within the peers of her eyes. Slowly, she turned her self around, moving back towards Kaya as her glaring met with Kaya's own. "What did you say?" She would question, over hearing the whole chibi thing she said. That word..it brought back memories, filling in her head. Terrible memories of her past, ones she never wanted to remember, and here it sat all coming back. Her innocent past, met up with a blue haired girl who she was forced to attack by her parents, and this girl had called her the exact same word. That couldn't be her, the girl in her past had to have been dead, she would not have been able to live for so long. She knew she slipped away and all, but she wasn't alive. It burned her core to hear that, watching the girl bent over in agony over the extreme heat temperatures that remained in her cell from Aadaava's heat spell. Anger swept over her, the effect remaining in place. "Where did you hear that from?!" She asked angrily, being well aware killing her right than and there wasn't an option, and she would follow that fact despite what this girl said. Throwing one hand out to the side with a fist, fire would engulf the hand where it stood, flying at Kaya and latching onto her neck as it would burn her. The attack wasn't as strong, she had to weaken it so there wasn't a chance in hell of killing this brat. She wanted to torture her to the core, with the help of Aadaa if he so desired to, as he should too since he desired revenge just as much as she had.
The effect of flame on Kaya wore off once Raine would speak out, leaving the girl in her partner's hands as she made her way over to the blood brat. Though the anger remained, she was able to control her temper, despite hearing Raine's words of false truth. "You light mages have already lost, you're nothing but dirt in the way, and soon you will be removed, picked off one by one. Stay together as much as you want, it'll only make for easier picking." She would tell him, though her rage was still clearly written all over her face. Smirking underneath the madness, she would form a line of fire as she had for Kaya with a pull of her arm out, rushing it at Raine with a swing of her arm, burning his own neck next. As always, the spell was weakened as to only burn and hurt, nothing more of damage. She needed them in one piece for experiments, despite the love of killing in her system. The time for experimentation processes would be soon enough. There were just a few more things to get settled in and complete, before they would be able to finally begin the process.
[OOC: Wasn't sure when to start getting the experiment stuff done, plz let me know when it should happen! xD Also, typed this with frozen asf hands. Holy shyt my room is freeezzzinggg. o-o btw @ Kaya - I'm sorry to hear about your car! D : That's awful! I was having car problems a week ago too, but it was just a nail in the road which took out the tire and flattened it, thankfully there was a car repairshop nearby who fixed it! I'd be so sad if it wrecked completely, very sorry to hear that happen to you ! D : I hope things get better for you!] ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Raine narrowed his eyes at Ci. He didn't enjoy being mocked but in his current state there was nothing he could do about it. This man had so much dirt on him and yet he had nothing to throw back other than the disgustingly soppy demeanour of his puppy-love relationship with the snooty guild master. Maybe a different tactic should be used to prevent anything being thrown back at him,"How about this,"he began with a tone of amusement. Though this would semi-agree with the annoying b*****d, it was also something he couldn't particularly twist. Or so he hoped,"Even if I did have feelings beyond a basic friendship with Ymir's star child, I wouldn't touch her with a barge pole. Guild girls are off-limits and yes while Blood Raine is the one that tried to kill her, he's now aware of what she is. What runs through her veins and arteries like liquid gold. And she'd be in constant danger. So much as a paper cut and he'd be back, trying to claim what he thinks is rightfully his."Though the blood mage sounded nonchalant, to some extent he did believe that it was true. He had no idea what his other side might do should the celestial wizard start to bleed near him again. The other Raine was capable of truly vile things and though he'd never stoop so horrifically low as to violate Octavia's body, he wasn't beyond filling the girl with enough dread to scar her for what would be the rest of her short life or executing a painful exsanguination. He shuddered at the thought.
Regardless of sedative, Raine somehow managed to hold onto his sarcastic and potentially aggravating side. He simply rolled his eyes at Kimura as she lectured him on how he was no better than a dark wizard."Is that why you'd like me to switch sides? So I'd become you're little anti-justice lap dog? Go ahead, let me out of these chains and I'll show you how good I can be,"he smirked, knowing none of them were stupid enough to release his chains but finding it amusing all the same. His eyes flicked back to Ci at the mention of torturing the members of Sabertooth. Torturing Octavia. And he huffed,"Don't you two ever shut up? I'm so bored of your voices."Hearing a slight choking sound, Raine looked over their shoulders to see Kaya starting to suffer from a strange type of heated magic. What was that? Solar? This guild master did collect some odd ones. This desire to wind up the dark wizards was all too tempting,"Beating up helpless girls, how manly of you,"he scoffed,"At least I couldn't resist myself but you're choosing to hurt a little girl who can't defend herself, how pathetic."While Raine didn't have much care for the fairy, the idea of it being one of his guild members flashed into his mind and it angered him. He grit his teeth."When I get out of here, how about I make you one of the first...,"he wasn't able to finish his sentence before a searing pain struck as a line of flames blazed past him. He didn't cry out but he gave a loud, pained growl of fury,"You are such an unbearable brat,"he snapped, blood pouring down his chin due to his heightened heart rate. His neck stung like a b***h and it only fuelled his rage. If only he could break free and make this little girl beg for mercy under the grip of Blood Raine's hand around her neck. He swore harshly under his breath. He always did have a fowl mouth. He only hoped they would all leave soon. The sedative was beginning to make him more drowsy and he didn't want to pass out while they were still present.he grumbled.
OOC: Ok so maybe in the next round of posts you guys can either 'leave' and go to a different area of the underground cells so you won't actually be anywhere near Raine and Kaya OR if it's easier, you can move to the main lab but it's pre-planned that Kai escapes so you won't be able to interact with him either. Sound good? Experiments can then be planned between the dark wizards. Raine is only good for draining and winding up but I know Kimura and Kaya have unfinished business that'll happen eventually.

Light mages were truly foolish beings. They tended to weigh their worth by how many innocents they could protect, by their ability to protect the world from evil. Raine was different. He would always be so. His perception of the world and its inhabitants were unique and separate from the other members of his guild, or any light guild for that matter. Certainly, he still projected the same values, yet there lay something within him that bore a darker mark. The evidence of which most often could be seen in his late-night antics. Try as he might to accept the hand he had been dealt, Blood Raine would forever remain a danger to others of any creed. Ciaran knew well that the Blood Mage understood this. He himself admitted as much in that very moment. Perhaps in a bid to evade and deflect the subject. Whatever the cause, he could not simply let it be. “Then why do you intend to stay? If it’s that simple of a change, you’re constantly risking her life anyway. What would the difference be to admit your feelings towards her?” His features contorted in a foul smirk. He had a beautiful thought occur. “It seems to me that we need to test this theory out. What do you think, hmmm? The Star Child wouldn’t be difficult to take. We can toss her in here with you, a little worse for wear, and see exactly what that alter ego of yours chooses to do.” The white-haired male turned to face the bars and leaned in even more. “What do you think? Could Blood Raine claim what’s his?” He let his statement linger in the air between them. A truly delightful sentiment! Star Child and Blood Raine- together for the final scene of a tragic love story.
Bloody scenes formed and altered in his mind’s eye. He could see it all now. A wondrous sight to behold as one light mage succumbed to his darkness while the other lost her life to it. The sheer number of possibilities! His hand twitched with the urge to paint what his thoughts conjured. To add to his debauchery, the pained breaths of the Dragon Slayer reached him. He pivoted to witness her pain. This is so exciting. Ciaran’s yellow orbs danced. I’m getting shivers! Aadava wasted no time in seeking his revenge upon the Dragon Slayer. Even from where he stood, he felt the waves of heat being emitted and manipulated into the girl’s cell. “How long do you think she will last at that temperature, Raine? Being a Water Dragon Slayer, I don’t give her very long at all.” His words dripped with sadistic glee. The one thing missing, of course, was the screams. How he wished she would scream for them! Perhaps-- A note of rage in his Master’s voice caught his attention. His gaze flicked to her smaller form as she approached the other’s cell. Ciaran’s heart accelerated in excitement. Flames the deepest shade of red shot forth from Kimura’s hand to wrap around the prisoner’s neck. Their ember casting a hellish light which flickered in his fevered eyes, providing him an almost demonic appearance. Her anger is glorious! He could have bore witness to it for ages, if given the opportunity. However, there were other items which needed tending to. Raine seemed to grow weary of their presence.
“Are you sure that it’s our voices you’re tired of?” The dark mage jeered. “Or is it being made to admit the truth? We’re merely calling them as we see them. Maybe you should take a moment to explore what that means.” There was a momentary pause as Raine’s focus shifted to his fellow prisoner. Ciaran watched him closely, studying him for any hint of emotion. A twitch of anxiety. A snarl of anger. “Ahhh, surely that’s not what I think it is?” His lips pulled into a toothy sneer. “Why, I believe it is! A touch of empathy for the girl. And here I believed you to be entirely heartless.” He threw his hands out to the side in an exaggerated shrug. "Oh well, that gives us something to work with at least.” Ciaran basked in the humiliation and pain being inflicted. Something which grew exponentially when Kimura subjected Raine to the same torment as Kaya. “Now, now,” he tisked and waggled his finger at the red-haired mage. “Mind your manners.” After all, foul language was no substitute for a perfectly good wail of pain.
