Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hurt from Zerkon's words, Jeri nonetheless decided to stay quiet and let the other two determine the best method for saving Tiresia. However, when Silver asked who would gather the books she practically shouted. "ME---U-uh, I mean, I think I should gather up the books! N-No need to trouble you guys or anything, you guys'll be busy planning the rescue mission. I'll take care of it, no need to worry! Ah ha ha!" sweatdrop Saying so, she found her book lying on the ground again and picked it up off the forest floor. Jeri also noticed that Thero had left his crossbow on the ground when he was teleported out, and so decided to grab it as well, wondering if it could come in handy.

Tsugaru was hiding behind a tree nearby, trying his hardest not to be detected. That jerk, Thero! I can't believe he just decided to abandon me in the lion's den, while Waru gets away scott free! Man, I knew that guy was too fishy to be true! He rubbed the spot where his dark guild tattoo used to be with one of his hands, and then tried to dash over to another tree in desperation. However, he instead tripped on a pebble and fell flat on his face, making a loud "OW!" ...It was then that he gave up all hope of living through the next few minutes.

Meanwhile, back at Thero's mansion, Waru noticed that Tiresia was awake. "Ah, good, now the hostage girl is awake! You hit Waru with bottles, but now you tied to a chair so I think it's even! You and Fairy Wing are gonna pay for blowing up that airship and getting Waru kicked out of Grimoire Heart!" He raised the back of his hand towards Tiresia, and the outline of a dark guild symbol was on it, redone with some kind of marker or pen. However, it wasn't Grimoire Heart's symbol. "...Oh, this is Tsugaru's mark. Whoops, I forgot again. I didn't want to leave him behind...but that's Fairy Dust's fault too!"

Tiresia's vision became blurred as Waru spoke and even then, she could barely hear what he was saying. The esper mage thought she heard him get her guild's name wrong but couldn't be sure. When he showed her the back of his hand, Tiresia saw three blurry hands that moved. She couldn't see the mark clearly.

She closed her eyes and breathed heavily. Her head painfully throbbed .The mage couldn't use her magic power to speak telepathically as it went to attempting to keep the seal on the back of her neck from spreading. They...'ll...f...in..d me...I... The seal suddenly throbbed, painful enough to make her body shudder. Pale, Tiresia hanged her head low and slumped over, unconscious. Her magic was running out.

Zerkon was distracted by a voice that called his name. "Huh? Who's calling me? Where's it coming from?" He looked around, to no avail. "I don't understand, but it sound so familar- OH DEAR GOD!" He had looked up, spotted the twins falling, and had them fall on him all within the span of a few seconds. "Why...Me?" He collapsed with dizzy eyes with the girls on top of him.

Tiresia's breathing became shallow as her magic power began to run out. Once her power did run out, it would take the seal to spread further than her voice box. It would shut down as many functions as it can in a period of time and kill her in the process. Time was running out.

When Thero came into the room, he noticed Tiresia's state worsening. "Blast it...you really aren't going to let this plan succeed, are you? I regret to lose all this potential leverage, but my victory over Fairy Tail will boost business considerably. Compared to that, I suppose it can't be helped. Waru, grab me some books off of the shelf." Waru took a couple of purple books off of the bookshelf and placed them into Thero's hands. The books glowed purple, and then the purple energy was sucked inside Thero's body. He touched Tiresia's head, and channelled the energy within the books into Tiresia in the hopes that it would boost her power enough to stay alive long enough to gnab him the books. "Ugh, saving people without receiving something in return is...distasteful. Waru, keep watching over her and notify me if anything changes. I'll try and figure out how to advance the plan." Thero once again left the room, leaving Waru and the unconscious Tiresia behind.

"Oh,Geez..." Zerkon could already feel the headache coming on.Straightening his hair, he turn to try and educate them on the situation. "Well, currently, He's going to be our hostage or helper, his choice. And at the moment, we are trying to plan a rescue mission to go get Tire from her captors." If one looked, They might notice his eye twitching. "She was captured while under treatment for her...problems, so it's of the utmost importance that we get there as soon as possible. Silver, I don't think it can wait till tommorow. We don't know how long she'll last..."

Lia grins playfully and stretches her arms and legs then cracks her neck and knuckles. "Hehe... Alright let's find her!!" Lia raises her hand up in the as smoke and glitter flow around her hand forming a weapon. "いでよ！武器の魔法！ネクロマンサーの大鎌!" (I Summon thee, The Scythe of Necromancer!!) Green and black aura surround Lia and forms a huge scythe. Lia then points it at Tsugaru and grins evilly. "Hehe now...You were saying? What was their plan now...? Oh I promise I won't hurt you, but you will have to tell us immediately or else..." Lia smiles and looks at Tsugaru expecting him to know what will happen if he tries to fool the Fairy Tail members. "Nee-san.... sweatdrop " Shinia sighes. "She can be so threatening once in a while...."

" I don't think you understand; a pre-emptive stri- wait, did you just say yes?" Zerkon stood there speechless for a bit, as he had prepared for silver arguing,and not agreeing so easily. "Well, we have more members, so we just need to hammer out a game plan-" Zerkon turned his eyes to Tsugaru "-and get some information from this guy."
