XXXKawa's smile that had been for Chloe's kindness had turned into a frown. Kawa took note of the lack of cheer that frequently accompanied the citizens of Balsam. The pungent odor of blood mixed with other bodily fluids took the half-etherious by surprise. Kawa's suspicions were justified: Blue Pegasus had tumbled to the ground in a bloody pulp. The young man's eye darted to each present guild member, he was counting heads. He was able to determine the number of possibly casualties from the number of members currently present: It was simply staggering. He remained in silence as he went on his knees and began to deliver a quick prayer to the lives lost in this tragedy. Kawa had also delivered a prayer of forgiveness for not being here in the midst of whatever caused this mess, had he been there...

Guild- Blue Pegasus | Rank- Spirit | Magic- Celestial Spirit
The area was becoming more crowded with the passage of time. Leo’s feline ears twitched to and fro, zoning in on the different sounds being made. Chloe, Kawa, and Akira had all returned at last. The Celestial Spirit didn’t need to turn to face them to understand their emotions. Sheer panic and disbelief radiated from them, filtering through their cries of shock and horror. Akira’s punch rocked the ground. Nobody expected it to be like this. That b*****d really knew how to hit the guilds. He grit his teeth together. Hands clenched into fists against the still sleeping child in his arms. Yet the worst of it wasn’t over. A hard thought to comprehend, but one he believed. Why else would that woman want Chloe and Mizuki? There had to be more to her plans than bringing the guilds to ruin like this. But the more Leo pondered, the more his mind replayed the events in Balsam. His anger rose with each flashback of Evelyn killing David’s mother and then taking Mizuki away. It was feral and raw, burning hot and fierce like several suns. If not for Chi’s words, the Spirit might have gotten lost in his emotions. Eyes flicking to the redhead, he drew in a deep breath, releasing it slowly through his nose. “Yeah there are a few things--,” he barely had a chance to explain. Chiara, it seemed, had finally taken notice of the others.
As the empath moved to speak with the others, Leo found himself wondering where to begin. He’d only been able to reveal Mizuki’s abduction so far. He hadn’t even gotten to the news about the princess of Fiore. “It wasn’t personal,” the light mage offered lamely, noting the discontent in Helga’s tone. “Mizuki had her reasons for it.” Leo remembered the night she joined Blue Pegasus. The two of them sat in deep discussion about whether to reveal her heritage to the guild master. There were many pros and cons to be weighed. In the end, Mizuki decided she wanted to prove her merit as a mage first before letting Helga know anything further. His thoughts drifted again. Then, suddenly, he felt the familiar tickle at the back of his mind. The Eridani princess relayed the last bit of information she could. What?! He nearly roared out. His mouth contorted in a snarl. Evelyn was taking precautions to keep them from finding the girls. She better not lay a--! There was no time to make his feelings about that little detail known. As quickly as she’d reached out to him, she was gone twice as fast. Their connection faded and muffled, though he could still sense it there. So caught up in this disconcerting revelation, Leo barely registered the speech being given by Master Helga. He knew she was talking but he didn’t comprehend her words.
Not until she spoke directly to him did he come to his senses again. His hazel eyes wandered over to Miuna whom appeared to be taking the news of her sister’s kidnapping hard. Ten’no, fortunately, was preoccupied with the job of delivering food so that was at least one less thing to be concerned over. “Well, first off,” he looked back into her lavender eyes, “Mizuki’s not the only one she’s got. She also kidnapped Chloe…as in princess of Fiore Chloe. That’s another reason why the kid didn’t back down from the fight in Balsam. That woman knew how to play her. Waited until just the right moment to mention Chloe and hint that she was her ‘guest.’” Pausing, he flagged a passing soldier down to come and take David from him. It was best they listened to Helga’s previous order and get him to an inn somewhere far away from the destruction and death. Besides, the last thing he wanted was for him to unwittingly overhear these details. Same could be said for Miuna and Ten’no. This was the sort of news they shouldn’t have to hear. Not that they were paying attention, which could very well be for the better right now. “And that’s only the beginning of it. I can tell you that this woman doesn’t show emotions. She’s very cold and calculating with them. Kinda fitting really. The b*****d herself might as well be a zombie or ghost or something. With that pale skin and those dead crimson eyes. Actually,” Leo folded his arms across his chest, cupping his chin between his thumb and forefinger. “Now that I think about it, she could pass for a vampire. Dark clothes, parasol and all. Anyway…Mizuki’s been able to give me tidbits as she’s spilled them. From what the kid said, vampira’s name is Evelyn Dharke, and she’s from the Llanarthen kingdom. She also told me that Dharke isn’t taking chances. A couple minutes ago she made Mizuki put on a magic sealing cuff. I’m betting to make sure we can’t trace her magic. It’s screwed up our telepathy a bit. Makes it feel like wading through water. It’s muddled but there. I can pour more of my magic in when I need to talk to her though. Should clear things up enough to get messages back and forth. Is there anything you want me to tell her?” Leo didn’t make the offer lightly. Despite his confidence, the feline spirit knew keeping their telepathic connection clear would be taxing for both of them. It was already strained due to distance. Add to that the magic seal and communicating became far more difficult. Important and necessary, yes, but difficult.
|✶| Blue Pegasus |✶| A-Rank |✶| New Trimens |✶| |✶| Current Theme: |✶| ❖ The brunette's head buzzed as she looked around at the guilds remains, people running around to helped the injured and... "A-Are those...?" the girl couldn't bring herself to say, looking at the sheet covered lumps just off to the side. No...this wasn't right... What was going on?! What happened?! As Kawa fell to his knees in prayer, Chloe looked to him with watering eyes, now convinced she wasn't seeing things. Before she could take another step into the chaos, Akira would show up to voice his opinion on this tragic sight. While he was consumed with rage, Chloe was overwhelmed with sorrow as she started weeping. 'Our friends! Our home! How... Why...?' she asked herself, crying into her sleeve. That's when a familiar face would stomp toward them, shouting with a rage that rivaled Akira's! Chloe looked up to see that redhead delivering a punch to the boy's gut through her blurred vision. It was Chiara, no doubt! She stared at the girl, her tears stopping for a moment when she saw her friend unharmed and shouting demands. After she sheepishly apologized, Chloe could no longer hold herself back and lunged at the girl, pulling her into a hug.
"Chiiiiiii! I-I thought you might have been... Ugh... I'm so glad you're okay!" She bawled and wept into her friend's shoulder, hugging her very tightly. At least she would eventually let go, but only because Master Helga had shown up, much to her relief. Just as she had done Chi, she too was pulled into a hug; Chloe wrapping her arms around the larger woman's neck. She briefly explained what had happened and though the parfum wizard was distraught, being in Helga's embrace made it a little easier to bare. "I'm sorry, Master Helga. I wasn't here either..." she apologized as she was released. Wiping her tears to the best of her abilities, she listened intently to the Master's speech to the guild. Even now, the Master could show her imposing strength and sense of will. She carried the blame this awful attack on her shoulders, yet she still did not yield! It wasn't just an apology, but also a promise to punish those responsible. If anyone could, it was the mighty leader of Blue Pegasus. Her rallying cry could be heard by everyone who stood here and for Chloe, it was an inspiring speech to dry her tears and do her best to help her friends. "...If I had my parfum samples..." she muttered. Unfortunately, even if they were in tact, they would be buried beneath all the rubble.
Akira was struck by the empathetic punch, which caved into his gut deeply. "URGH!?!?" This happened as soon as he was about to get up, making him collapse onto his back in swirling pain. Recovering, Akira lifted himself into a sitting position to hold the aching area. "Okay!? You frigging slugged me in my stomach! But I-I guess it's all cool though... ow." He groaned and shook off his trauma, taking her hand like a good sport to stand up. She was just worried sick about his safety, so he held nothing against the assault. Akira would start dusting off his white clothes for a moment.
"Well... I didn't see the destruction of the guild coming at all. Otherwise, I would of been there fighting with all I had!" He claimed confidently, punching the air to give emphasis. The White Dragon Slayer then broke away his attention to briefly examine the rest of the damages. His arms went into a stern crossing. This was followed by him sighing in a tiresome way. "Boy, the costs will be crazy fixing this place back to normal..." Akira frowned, feeling spite bubbling within him. He might actually hold a grudge this time. This act of guerrilla war was unforgivable for the innocent lives it took.
He had to know the specifics from somebody, pronto. "Who did all this and why, Chi?" Akira asked the armored woman, maturity finally settling into his facial features.
Chi smiled as Akira accepted the help up, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly with her off arm. What she had not prepared for was Chloe ramming in to her like a meteor from the side. She gasped a bit as she was crashed in to, but planted her feet and stood her ground, wrapping Chloe up in a big bear hug. "I'm fine, I'm fine! See? Just lost control of myself for a minute. And yeah... again... sorry Aki-man. Your anger was just... there suddenly. And really sharp. Caught my attention before I'd noticed it and... yeah. I'm glad you're okay, man." When the question of who or what had happened, Chi sighed, about ready to explain. Chloe being pulled into a big hug surprised her, as did the ferocity and mien of Helga's speech. She knew her guildmaster was strong. She knew the giant woman was fierce beneath her calm, loving exterior. But she had never known the depth of that flame to be so deep and wide. She was surprised, and listened in awestruck glee. She'd never before enjoyed working under Helga so much.
When the blonde was done speaking, Chi turned back to Akira. "To answer your question... we're not sure. But Fairy Tail and Sabertooth were hit hard too. We... suffered the worst casualties by far. None of us were here to protect the guild, so the low ranking and rookies were left all by themselves. Whoever did this... our people didn't stand a chance. And Chloe... if you want I can take Akira and have him help me dig them out? I'll admit I'm getting tired, having been at this all night..."

...what more perfectly insane a task could a girl have?
Ten'no Kagehoshi No Care for Gravity
Tenny floated around, delivering food at as fast a pace he could manage. He was making a giant series of concentric circles as he went, slowly and coincidentally making his was towards Miuna and Leo. He even wound up tuning out most of Helga's speech. Despite not knowing the words, he felt oddly inspired. And then he ran, quite literally, in to Leo. As he tumbled backwards, spilling paper-wrapped burgers all over the ground around him. "Hey! Watch where you're going je-LEO, MIU!!!! LEO DUDE WHERE'S MIZU!?!?! ALSO HOW ARE YOU?! ALSO HERE HAVE A BURGER!" He reached down and pulled a still sealed burger for each of them off of the ground, holding them up to his favorite people currently present.
OoC: The punch honestly was not meant as comedic relief. Chi honestly has a hard time keeping control of her emotions while her empathy is going. Very swayed by outside emotions sort of deal.
Also no, Tenny does NOT always know how to read a room. Or therein lack of one.
Helga listened closely to Leo as he spoke, the description he gave matched one woman she use to know. However, Helga didn't want to jump to any conclusions; there could easily be others out there like her. It was when the celestial spirit spoke the assaulter's name did the boiling anger with in the giant woman come billowing forth. "Evelyn?!" Helga roar, anger spilled off of her like an overflowing pitcher. Her lavender eyes were lined with red vains as rage engulfed her. There was no surprise in her voice, rather outrage line with forming hate. "I know that woman. To think a woman who tried to be so proud would stoop to doing lowly work such as kidnapping. Three things Leo. Ask Mizuki if she had found out about any of her plans, tell Mizu we are coming for her, and lastly. Tell her to be careful around Evelyn. She is a class beyond psychopath." Helga paused, then a terrible smile made it's way onto the amazonian's face. "One more thing, tell her Evelyn hates messes, things being out of order, and most importantly... getting dirty." Helga had faith that Mizuki would know exactly what to do with that information. The girl was smart, she could use this information to her advantage. Anger still consumed the mammoth of a woman but she slowly regained herself in order to instruct those who were still able bodied. "Chi, Chloe, Kawa, Akira, Ten'no, and Miuna." She called out to the group "We're heading to Sabretooth. Considering Fairy Tail has been totally obliterated and they have no guild master to lead them in this hour. It's best we go there first and see if we can find any of the members. They will want to know what has happened to Chloe Fiore considering she is one of the Fairy Tail members. With none of them showing up here and no news on Lamia Scale it might be the best option. If any of you want to stay here and dig out more people then don't be afraid to do so. Both of these tasks are important and I will leave it to you to decide what you can handle. Those of you coming with me to Sabertooth, so it doesn't come as a shock, I plan on asking for their assistance in saving Mizuki. We will or course have Fairy Tail wanting to do the same for Chloe Fiore, however their numbers are very small. If we plan on facing Evelyn and getting our members back we need to come together with other guilds and face them. Evelyn and her band are incredibly strong, it's important we have allies in this. Then, once our members are safe, we will find who destroyed and killed our guilds." Helga stated to the group, she wasn't going to force anyone to come with her but she would be lying if she didn't want at least one to come with her.
As she stepped away the large blonde would turn her head back to Leo, "Please follow me for as long as you can. I want to be kept updated on what is going on with Mizuki and Chloe Fiore. I wouldn't put it past Evelyn to kill either one of them out of rage. But, I don't want you to spend all your magic or all Mizuki's magic by staying in our world. If you need to return to the celestial realm then I wont hold it against you. In this situation it is best to conserve magic, we'll have battle against Evelyn to take back those two. She's a crazed woman who won't listen to reason unless it is to benefit whatever plan she has. Big or small." Helga would finish her statement to Leo, if the words she spoke didn't give away her relationship with Evelyn then her facial expression would have. The Guild master was clearly worried and deathly serious on what she was saying. Although the giant blonde wasn't proud of serving under Evelyn she was now thankful she did. Helga at least would have a very general idea of what she was facing when saving Mizuki rather than running in blind. The information she had gathered and witnessed would be of great use now rather than a darker secret hidden away from her members. With than, though, Helga would leave the area. Heading in the direction of Sabertooth.
Miuna stood a little further from the rest of the group, gathering and listening to every word the celestial spirit spoke. The more answers he gave, the more ever so worried she became for her sister. This act was unforgivable..as much as she preferred finding the good in others before resorting to going against. This was..just plain unforgiving!! She swore, if she found out this capture had hurt her sister..there would be hell to pay!! She'd never felt more serious in her whole life. She would give up everything to save her, whatever the risk, nothing was more important than the life of her sweet Mizu. The same could be said for her loving twin brother, Ten'no. These were her family, her precious comrades. She'd do anything to see them safe and smiling. While her worrysome thoughts continued, Miuna was still partially listening in on what was being said. It seemed they also kidnapped the princess of Fiore..to have two princesses. What were there motives? Were they trying to overtake the kingdoms for there own gain by kidnapping the princesses? Whatever it was..it wasn't good. A frown plastered to her face, slightly fading upon noticing Ten'no shouting and delivering food. He seemed to be unaware of what was happening, likely he had just arrived at the guild hall and probably missed everything that was said. While he continued to hand food to those who needed it, Miuna couldn't stop herself from rushing off towards him, hugging him tightly but careful as to not drop the food he was carrying. "Tenny!! Mizu..she was kidnapped!" She cried out to her twinnie, despite him having first asked Leo her whereabouts. And while it were true she didn't wish to worry him or ruin his sweet cheerful mood, he needed to at least know the truth of what was happening. Mizuki was his dear sister too.
She sniffled, releasing from him before turning her undivided attention towards Helga. Her words lifted her spirits a lot, it was like something she really needed to hear in the moment. Helga was already preparing a rescue plan, with her on board there was no way they couldn't save her sister. She was a strong powerhouse of a woman, but she also felt so bad hearing about Fairy Tail being obliterated. These people who did this..she couldn't forgive them for there actions. She wouldn't seek to help any of them..not after what they'd done so willingly. Miuna was determined to help, more than she's ever been now. She didn't know what state Sabertooth was in, but she also prayed for the wellbeing of there guild, as she did for all guilds effected. No matter large or small scaled debris. She wouldn't feel better until Mizuki were here back at the guild, safe and happy. In these dark times, she prayed for the safety of everyone effected. Before following the group, Miuna tied her hair into a ponytail, which usually meant she was fighting a determined fight. In any fight, friendly spar or not, she liked to have her hair up as it didn't easily get in the way of her vision. She followed Helga, and all who followed from behind as well.

Guild- Blue Pegasus | Rank- Spirit | Magic- Celestial Spirit
The time had come. Ten’no had finally noticed his presence. It took the boy slamming into him and dropping the food he carried but notice him he did. Of course, the younger Kagehoshi family member didn’t miss a beat when it came to realizing Mizuki wasn’t with the Celestial Spirit. Leo felt the glaring absence of his summoner even more so with the child’s question. Hmm, he sighed inwardly. Now how am I gonna answer that one? Rubbing the back of his head, he tried to come up with the easiest way of breaking the news. Ten’no was typically a playful, rambunctious kid but he could be a force to reckon with if he became angry enough. That sort of reckless anger was something they couldn’t afford at the moment. As it would turn out, however, Miuna would take matters out of his hands. She bolted by him to tackle her twin brother, explaining in breathless cries about Mizuki. I guess that’s one way of doing it. Leo huffed before waving to get the siblings’ attention. “Ten’no, Miuna, I know what you’re going to be thinking. But don’t go doing anything crazy right now, okay? Stay with me and Master Helga…like Mizuki asked you too. Got it?” The feline spirit hoped the two would listen to him. Having them within eyesight would give him less to worry about. Besides, Helga would be setting out to rescue Mizuki and Chloe. They were allowed to join in the rescue party, which might provide them something to focus on.
Returning his gaze to Helga, Leo wrapped up his report of everything he knew. His eyes widened in shocked surprise at the enraged bellow the woman unleashed when he unveiled the name of Mizuki’s abductor. Seems like she knows her… His suspicions were confirmed seconds later by the Amazonian. How would Helga know someone like that? He had to wonder. Helga was fierce and imposing, but she was also kind and loving. The woman who stood before him didn’t appear the type to be friends with kidnappers and psychopaths. Mizuki’s not the only one who kept secrets. His ears twitched as the blonde’s tone took on a grave note. Leo frowned as she implied how dastardly Evelyn truly was. “I don’t think the kid needs to be told that last part twice,” he made a poor attempt at levity. If Evelyn’s resolve to kill a mother in front of her son for no other purpose than to prove a point didn’t make that clear, then he couldn’t think of a single other thing that would. “I’ll do my best with the others though.” Lips parted in an impish grin similar to the woman’s. “Mizuki’s going to love that little tidbit.”
While Helga addressed the others in the guild, Leo took the opportunity to reach out to Mizuki. The connection was strained thanks to distance and that blasted sealing cuff. Leo had to pour in a portion of his magic simply to stabilize it. “Hey kid, how’re you doing? That b*****d hasn’t touched you, has she?” He prodded at her mind, wanting to make sure she was all right first and foremost. Leo needed to make this quick though since he needed to preserve as much of his magic as possible for the upcoming battle. “Listen, I don’t have a lot time since I’m having to use my magic to offset the seal. Master Helga wants to know if you’ve learned anything about Evelyn’s plans? Why she attacked the guilds and kidnapped you guys? She also wanted me to relay a few things. First, she wants you to know that we’re coming for you. We’re heading to Sabertooth to meet up with the other guilds and come up with a plan to get you back. Second, she says to be careful around that psychopath. You know what she’s willing to do so don’t push things if you don’t have to.” There was a slight pause. Their connection wavered for a brief second then settled again. “The last thing is a little more amusing.” His tone had shifted just slightly, indicating the girl would find it amusing as well. “Turns out that bat-face likes everything nice and neat. She hates it when anything is out of place, messy, or dirty. I’m sure you can make good use of that information.” Another ripple in their mental connection meant it was time to stop for now. “I don’t want to hold this up any longer. I’ll keep the line open as long as it takes to hear back from you.” Leo quieted down after assuring Mizuki he would maintain the link. Although, he did reduce the amount of magic being syphoned into it since he wasn’t trying to speak.
The timing was impeccable. Helga had just finished instructing the guild on their next course of action. She pivoted to face him. Leo listened to her request with set mind. “Don’t worry about me, Master Helga,” he jutted his chin. “I’ve got plenty of magic to spare for them.” The light wielder hesitated for a beat before adding, “But, if I do have to go back, then I’ll send one of the others to keep watch. We can all communicate with Mizuki telepathically, so you won’t have to worry about keeping in contact with her.” Silently, he vowed to avoid returning to the Celestial Spirit World unless he was almost entirely depleted of his magic. Leo was responsible for the princess and he wanted to see her rescue to fruition. He’d already failed to keep her safe in Balsam Town. A shame he would not soon forget nor forgive himself of. There was no use in berating himself over it in this moment though. He had to keep his mind focused and sharp. Ready to receive Mizuki’s message at any instant while also preparing to mount a rescue mission.

XXXKawa rose to his feet with without a moment's hesitation, followed behind Helga. He flashed Chloe a failed attempt at a reassuring grin. With all the optimism he could muster during such a grim moment, he calmly asked, "Are you coming? Or would you like to recuperate somewhere?" He took notice of his friend's tear-stained face, even if it was faint. "It's okay, we will... Get through this, that's just what we do..."

✾ The words of her dear friend would reach her, causing her to wipe any remaining tears off her face. It seem"No...and no. I want to stay and help others. I-I can rest later..." Kawa was right though, they could and would get through this...in time. While she chose to stay here, it sounded like her teammate was going to help the guild in his own way. They had to stop the dark mages from hurting anyone else and she was also worried about Mizuki. They were just with her not too long ago and in that short span of time, she'd been kidnapped. Now that she thought about it...if maybe she insisted Mizuki travel with them... But at the time, Kawa's well being was the only one that concerned her. I should've been more thoughtful... But I can't think like that right now... the girl told herself. "Kawa...please be careful. You're not fully recovered and I know Master will be there, but still! Also...when you see Mizuki, tell her... No wait, I'll tell her myself!" she swore. Because there was no doubt in her mind the bluenette would be brought home safely. Giving him a hug before he left, Chloe would get to work on rebuilding a home for everyone to come back to.
Scrambling over the rumble, Chloe would carefully navigate through the wreckage. Using her mental map of the guild and where it once stood, she would make her way to the New Trimen's Meeting Room. The perfume samples she had in her room might be lost, but she kept another set in the meeting room. Tucked away safely in a metal box, it might've survived the destruction of the guild. As for why she kept it in the meeting room...a story for another day! She quickly got to work pulling and pushing slabs of marble aside to the best of her abilities. Chi offered to have Akira help her dig out her perfume box, but she would decline. "Akira can help the others with clearing the debris. I can...do...this...much! Huff!" she grunted, shoving another slab out of her way. Course if she had her perfumes, this wouldn't even be a struggle! Before long, she would find the box glinting in the sunlight wedged between the rubble. Chloe fought to pry the banged up box free from its prison and then alas, she had her parfum pellets! Opening the case, they seemed to be intact and good to use. "Okay...first..." the wizard smirked, loading her Parfum Gun with the proper perfume. Hoisting her gun into the air, she would fire three shots, one after the other. The pellets would be launched into the air where they would pop and fall down on everyone in the area. The Pain-Relieving Parfum would alleviate all pain and put everyone at ease. It might not be much, but it would certainly help. "Now to do something about this mess..." she mused, looking around. Loading up her next parfum bullet, she would point the gun at herself and take a deep breath.
His jacket draped in the wind as he stared at all the damages. Of course, he had heard all of the important gossip in the background, namely from Helga herself. Akira was bequeathed with the task of either coming to rally and fight or staying to conserve and protect. Ultimately, he chose the latter. His guild was in dire shape and just abandoning his comrades like that seemed cruel. It seems that spiky-haired celestial spirit followed the brawny lady to Sabertooth as well with the same determination. The boy was about to help Chloe search for her perfume until she reluctantly declined. ...Oh, He shrugged indirectly as a response. His thoughts were on the people that were buried alive by the collapse anyway. Using herculean strength, Akira easily pushed aside excess rubble and pulled out the heavily injured.
While he was helping out with the clearance, his eyes widened in recognition of something. There were rough claw marks shredded across the building's remnants. "Was this the work of some wolf?" He pondered to himself, feeling the warped architecture with his hand. Akira had also spotted the same type of infliction on the victims' wounds. This fact made him clench his hands into tight fists again. What was the prime reason of all this? Why did they have to suffer and be struck down? He started to silently berate himself for not being there. Maybe he could of succeeded in protecting them and their smiles would still be intact. Akira sighed, ridding his thoughts of would of-could of-should of. He had to focus on what's happening right now.
After finishing, Akira followed the trio to Sabertooth in a brisk pace, knowing with relief that everyone else was healed by Chloe's perfume. He waved up his hand at them frantically, "Ooooi! Wait uuup!"

Chiara Rionach Rebel of the Sacred Heart
Fixing the world before it becomes broken...
Chi smiled and rubbed Chloe's head protectively, almost motherly as Helga spoke. There was a reason that the giantess was a guild master. Several, really, but the fury and fire that the blonde exuded were incredible, pushing at the edges of Chi's empathic ability, even though it was sealed and shut off. The anger bristled across Chi's soul, filling it with a determination her tired body lacked at the moment. Kawa's presence registered finally, and the redhead smiled, waving a hand at him blearily. When Akira mentioned he was staying, she balked, shaking her head at him in confusion. "Hey punchy boy! I'm going. All of the survivors we've found were pulled out already, so there shouldn't be too many more to find... But ummm... be careful to hold onto your stomach..." She let him run off to hoist rubble out of the way, and smirked at him as he went. When Chloe pulled away, Chi followed after her slowly. When the girl got her gun out and started shooting what seemed to be anesthetics into the air, the redhead could only smile. Without a word, she stepped behind her friend and hugged her tightly, almost afraid to let her go. "...be careful, okay? I can't lose any more friends... I'm coming back, and I'm bringing everyone with me, I promise." She squeezed a little more tightly, and then let go, walking towards her staff and claiming it in her good hand.
The redhead patted Kawa on the shoulder, walking past him and out of the area towards Sabertooth's guild hall. One hell of a walk she had before her, it seemed. The girl hurried to catch up with Helga, not wanting to be away from her Guild Master, and what she viewed as one of her greatest sources of strength.

Ten'no Kagehoshi No Care for Gravity
Tenny took the news that Miuna gave him with a blank, confused stare. She had to be wrong. Someone had to have lied to her. Maybe they were mistaken? But as Leo spoke up, the little blue haired boy's composure cracked. His eyes watered for a second, the tears flowing up and away from his face into the air before sliding away and down, falling into the dirt and dust around him. His gaze drifted, settling on a piece of rubble away from anyone else. It seemed to have been a chunk of wall. He glared at it and extended a hand. The full force of his magic hit the piece of stone, and within the blink of an eye, had reduced it to little more than a pile of dust. His feet touched the ground, and he swayed on his feet. "Man... It's just one thing after the other, huh?" The boy began walking, following slowly after the others. Chi, noticing the easily lost boy trailing behind her, waited for him to catch up. Without warning him, she picked him up and plopped him on her shoulders. "Can't have you getting lost again. Your sister would have my head if she knew I let you wander off." Tenny smiled, reaching down to shake her hand. "Heh, thanks! I'll make myself as light as possible for you. Can't let a girl get tired carrying me, after all! Just wouldn't be polite..." The pair talked as Chi carried him, babbling idly about anything to keep their minds off their respective fears.
✾ With the others heading off to Sabertooth to pool information and gather allies, Chloe would remain home to care for the guild. The building may have been leveled to the ground, but the people were still here! She didn't exactly possess any healing abilities, but she could protect and care for the injured to the best of her abilities. And where could also clear out the rest of the debris and collect anything salvageable. Holding the gun to her chest, she fired it and inhaled the parfum that was released. The girl would quickly grow in size, her height rapidly escalating past six feet. Her hair had also grown out, dropping to reach her waist and even became darker in color. But the most outstanding feature of the form she had taken was her muscular figure. With rippling biceps, well toned abs and legs to match, she was more than capable of doing some heavy lifting. Chloe was quite fond of her Power Parfum form, it making her feel somewhat like her master and idol. Though now wasn't the time to admire her physique. The girl charged into the wreckage, clearing the large bits of rubble out of the way. It was a tad bit unsettling to find blood on some of the debris, but it was easier not to look at it or think about it too much. She would make a tower of rock slabs, unearthing the foundation of the guild hall. With her and a few of the other able bodied members, they were able to recover some food and medical supplies, even some personal belongings. “Whew! Good work guys! We'll have this mess cleaned up in no time!” Chloe gave the others the thumbs up. This was going to take some time, but she was aiming to make their home more hospitable when the others returned and for Mizuki too. ‘...I hope… No, she is okay! I-I know she is!’ the girl tried to convince herself. Though...if anything happened to that girl...
While still at Sabertooth Helga used her lacrima to get into contact with Chloe. "Chloe dear, can you hear me? How are things going over there? Are you doing okay? This are.... okay at best here. But I wanted to check in on you and know if you are doing okay." The bara woman spoke into the lacrima hoping to hear back from her dear guild member.
✾ Some time later, Chloe was still hard at work digging through the rubble. Though now she wasn't so much looking for bodies or cleaning up. No, now she was searching for belongings for her injured guildmates. Things like priceless heirlooms and precious memorabilia - if these things survived the destruction. Fortunately, many of them would be in luck! The girl who now sported quite the toned physique had just recovered a photo album for Reba when her Portable Lacrima went off. Well at least it wasn't broken as she believed earlier. When she pulled it out of her pocket, she made an audible gasp as to who the caller was. "...Duh, Chloe! Why didn't I call Master Helga?!" she smacked her forehead in disbelief. A major oversight on her part, but irrelevant now. Answering the orb, she gave her biggest grin she could manage for her master. Though it was evident the girl was tired and covered in both dirt and sweat; not a usual look for the fashionista. "Master Helga! I'm fine, I've just been cleaning up a little! Ehehehe..." she replied with a weak laugh. "Err, how are you and everyone else? Everyone here is...I think we're doing a little better"
