Felina gasped taking a step back towards Oassu as the ground began to crack open forming a tiny hole in the ground. "This doesn't look good but they can't be planing on making the place collapse for the same reason the airships haven't fired" she muttered quietly to herself squeezing Oassu's hand.
Satoshi paused watching as the hole formed in the ground grew slightly bigger. "Well at least we know roughly where they are going to attack" she stated taking out her kunai from her back pocket. "We have had time to rest and recover at least and it was a good thing we chose to stick around" she told the group trying to be cheerful.
Shizuka blushed taking her hand away from Hebal's ear. "Oh sorry I didn't realise it was seen that way. If you said then I wouldn't have asked" she told Hebal in response to Mari's comment. "No need for a picnic after all this when we can have a feast instead anyway" she added clutching her gun.
Hayate sighed making his way back to the group along with part of his unit "Bad news guys relaxation time is over and we are facing another potential attack. So everyone get waking up whoever is still left unaware of things before something kills them in their sleep" he ordered

Oassu stood up giving Felina's hand a squeeze as well "It must be something big if it can force it's way up through the island" he said placing a hand on a tree to stabilize himself.
Itaka shook his head "Just as well we get an attack, I think I was getting a little too soppy" he chuckled picking up his sword glancing at the widening hole.
Mari giggled "Relax Shizuka she let you stroke her ear after all if it was a big deal for her she'd have stopped you" she said getting up and drawing her sword.
Gil chuckled at Satoshi's attitude "Maybe we shouldn't be standing so close to that hole..." he said as it widened further.
Jenna woke up from her doze climbing onto a worried Boco and stroking him "Hey whats going on, this earthquake is terrifying Boco..." she said cooing to the chocobo to calm him.
Barbaros snoozed on.

Hebal smiled pulling her spear out from the ground and slinging her bag iver her shoulder. "Don't worry about that she is just toying with you a little Shizuka but it would be best not to ask most viera that question in future" she advised her taking a step back and looked around nervously while she sniffed the air. "Smells like a dragon or something."
Seph smiled kissing Itaka on his sword arm before taking out her own weapon. "You weren't that bad. Besides, your soppy side can be quite nice provided you don't go overboard" she told him pointing her blade towards the hole as it rapidly opened up further.
Alpha raised his eyebrow curiously at Hebal but instead of asking further let out a sigh and made his way over to Barbaros. "Sorry to wake you Jenna but we are being attacked from below" he explained to her. He then picked up Barbaros by the legs and gave him a good shake up and down. "Hey wake up sleeping beauty, now isn't the time to be napping anymore" he shouted.

Felina sighed muttering a few words under her breath causing the group to begin floating. "There you go I hope that makes Boco feel a little better and you can all keep your balence" she told them nervously taking out her bow and aiming it at the hole "If it's a dragon we should be expecting then I think I will need to use some of my special arrows."
Hayate glanced over at Felina followed by Shizuka. "I don't mean to be mean but you two should should stand further back since you're no goog at really close combat. Also I think it would be best if we don't go fetching Zadina from the temple since he will be a lot safter there" he told them signaling to his unit to step back.
Shizuka sighed and nodded "I guess I'll see you around later then since I have already received my marching orders. It was nice of you to share your food and drink with me. Thanks" she told Hebal and Mari with a bow before moving into one of the back lines.
Satoshi nodded in agreement floating behind a tree. "He's got a point considering we have no idea how big the dragon is" she commented floating around the tree a few times to get used to the feeling. "This float thing would actually be quite fun if it weren't for the present situation" she laughed.

Itaka smiled stroking Seph's tail "Well if you say so but I'm looking forward to that dance later" he chuckled "We've dealt with Dragons before so it should be no hassle" he said readying his blade.
Mari waved goodbye to Shizuka before stroking Hebal's ears "Calm down a little, dragons are no bother for us but whatcha think of Shizuka? Pretty cute huh?" she said winking and nudging Hebal with her elbow.
Gil struggled to get used to the gravity for a bit before balancing out "Yeah, it feels kinda funny...." he said focusing so that he didn't wheel over sideways "but dragons are no bother" he said swapping his excalipoor blade for a wyrmkiller blade.
Oassu nodded drawing his knives "Yeah if it's gonna get rough here we'd be best leaving Zadina out of this in case things get bad," he frowned stepping back from the growing hole.
A sleep Barbaros yawned "Aye mon let me down your hitting my head off the ground!" he complained rubbing his head and grasping for his cannon.
Jenna bit her lip "You might not be so lucky on keeping Zadina away from here" she said pointing out a floating Zadina dashing down the hill.
"Hey guys! There was this big hole appearing in the middle of the temple so I was told to come back down here!" Zadina shouted rushing down towards them.

Hebal waved to Zadina with a small grin before turning her attention to Mari again. "Yeah Shizuka seems like a nice elf but it was a little sad that she never knew what halloween was when she was a kid" she told her nudging her back. "I know we have delt with dragons before but this one is big eough to carry lots of people on." she informed them further.
Alpha chuckled putting Barbaris back down. "Hey no complaining. We are about to have another attack and at least this way you're not going to die in your sleep" he told him making his way towards the rest of the group. "Hey Zadina, did you have fun with Corella while we relaxed?" he greeted the elf with a wave.
Seph let out a quiet giggle moving her tail awat from Itaka "Don't do that until later, my tail is always really ticklish" she requested almost falling over as the rumbling of the ground became more violent. "Here it comes" she frowned as a silver dragon whooshed through the hole carrying a small heavily armored unit on it's back.

Felina frowned a little as Zadina entered the scene but forced a smile for him. "Hey cousin welcome back, hope you had a fun tie relaxing" she greeted him but almost jumped out of her skin as the dragon shot up from the hole in the ground. "Looks like we are just going to have to get on with it" she told Oassu firing an arrow at the dragons side hoping it would either hit the creature or one of the soldiers.
Hayate groaned a little at the sight of the soldiers who were now slowly dropping to the ground from the silver beast. "Dragons may be no bother to you but the soldiers may be. So which of you lot wants to take care of Ms. Dragon while the rest of us take out the others" he sighed before ordering his unit to try and attack their opponants before they would have time to land properly.
Satoshi grinned lobbing a set of shurikens into the air only to have most of them blocked by the onion knights. "Hmm these soldiers seem to be better quality than the lost bunch. Still I think Hebal should be one of the ones to kill the dragon since she used to be a dragoon and things." she nominated.

Zadina fell over as the dragon rocketed out and towered above them. Similar dragons were appearing all across tthe kingdom with one bursting out of the city center, temple and palace. Zadina squealed as he dashed for the group as a falling onion knight brought his axe down where Zadina had fallen.
Itaka Oassu and Barbaros visibly sagged at the sight of the unit "Not them..." Oassu moaned "They are going to make our job a lot harder" he said throwing a kunai at a falling soldier who parried it effortlessly before Oassu thrust his legs up kicking the soldier onto the ground where he flipped back up instantly.
Itaka nodded "I'll leave your tail alone, just don't let it get cut off, these guys are like pros" he said picking Seph up and moving her out of the way of a Firaga spell a knight had cast on the way to the ground. Itaka turned and cast Dark at the the knight that attacked them but it bounced harmlessly off of his shield.
Barbaros grunted lifting his cannon to block a knight wielding two katanas "These are the royal onion knights," he said flinging the knight off of him before shooting him sending him reeling backwards and putting a big dent in his chestplate. Another knight cast curaga as he landed healing the injured knight. "Masters of every weapon, wielders of any magic" he spat stepping back slightly as another knight with a broadsword landed before Gilgamesh engaged him and cut him apart "We should just deal with these fiends as they come, the dragon will be hard enough" he said thrusting all his swords into the knight and ripping him apart in 6 directions.
Jenna raised her lance impaling a falling knight who flailed and thrashed at Jenna before she stabbed him through a slit in his helmet with her sword "I don't care much for all these raining men" she spat pushing the dead knight off her lance.
Mari frowned "Stupid dragon!" she grunted tensing her sword arm as a soldier fell towards her lance extended. She unleashed her tension making two blisteringly fast strikes firstly through the lance tip secondly through the soldier who split in half with both parts falling on either side of her. "Ugh I'll teach them to spoil my picnic!" she growled.

Seph smiled ducking from a blizzaga which had been directed towards her head. "Don't worry about the tail. I tend to keep it stiff so it doesn't get in the way. Besides I like a challenge so it's about time we had a group of tough guys" she told him warping away three onion knights who were standing close to eachother. "Gah don't allow me to do another warping thing it's beginning to make me feel bad" she groaned rubbing her head.
Hebal turned a deep shade of red hearing Satoshi's nomination. "Why me take on the dragon. I mean I could at least try talking to it first and ask it nicely to leave. Otherwise we'll have to take it as it comes" she muttered blocking one of the knight's swords and pushing him backwards into the crowd. She then jumped up into the tree to try and get a little closer to the dragon.
Alpha shrugged picking up one of the onion knights then tossed him down the hole which he had appeared from. "I think I can eventually take these guys on. I mean we at least have the environment to work with since they aren't wearing gas masks and theres still a little pollen lying about" he told Barbaros pointing to one soldier who let out a sneeze then rushed over towards Felina.

Felina's eyes widened as the knight charged towards her but quickly snaped out of it in time to form a barrier around herself and Zadina. "You ok kid? Let's get you a little bit further away from these guys so that you can cast more spells" she told him picking him up from the ground before knocking the soldier back with a holy spell.
Satoshi let out a small hiss holding up her kunai to parry the katana of a knight. "Not the best thing to happen to us if they are as good as you guys say they are. But no man is invincible so I don't care much about whatever skills they have" she answered kicking away the knight so that she would have room to form some hand signs for her jutsu.
Hayate shrugged forming a barrier in front of himself to protct him from an oncoming toad spell. "Hmph I don't care what they are or what they do so long as we get rid of them before they can do any serious long term damage" he grunted firing an arrow int to leg of the dragon, who just flew on regardless.

Mari smiled a little hearing Hebal's suggestion "You can do stuff like that?" she asked disarming a knight before being blasted back by a charged thundaga spell in the knight's other hand.
Gil nodded "Indeed no man is invincible but I'm betting there are those that are close to it" he chuckled bashing a knight on all sides with his swords until the knight fell unconcious with massive dents in his armour. He stepped in front of a knight rushing towards Satoshi so she'd have time for her jutsu.
Itaka swung his sword a full 180 degrees decapitating a knight rushing him from behind. The dying knight had enough chance to launch a fireball into Itaka before death. Itaka batted the fireball away with his metal arm "They are powerful but hey the common grunts are too easy for my liking" he admitted passing a potion towards Seph "Take this if your not feeling well, but chill out a bit, don't strain yourself too much" he said a little concerned.
Oassu cartwheeled dodging a firaga spell and grabbing his jacket and shirt lieing on the ground before putting them on over his bandages before making some handsigns causing the sand in the ground beneath two knights rushing after Felina and Zadina to grasp them halting them.
Zadina coughed as Felina lifted him casting two clusmy firaga spells at the halted knights striking in the chest where it exploded scorching his comrade a little.
Barbaros legged it after Felina and Zadina stopping to club the slightly scorched knight over the back of the head with his cannon as he went before pushing the buttons on his cannon.
Boco kwehhed loudly as a knight stabbed him in the backside before clawwing him viciously and using choco cure on himself while Jenna punched a large hole in the offending knight with her lance.

Seph shrugged extending her arm to take the potion from Itaka "Thanks though I'll save it for later in case things get worse" she told him doing a half turn kicking a knight away from her then grabbed another by digging her claws into his chestplate. "I am not pushing myself too much yet so don't you worry. I'll be careful to some extent" she added finishing her opponant off with a blow to the head.
Hebal nodded jumping up the tree to get closer to the dragon turning even redder "Yeah I can do stuff like that but it's kinda embarrassing since to everyone else I just look like a nutcase" she called down releasing 10,000 needles so that they rained down on the Agralians.
Alpha growled forming a circle of flames around a soldier trapping him inside them before slowly making his way over to the tree where he slept to pick up his things. "These guys aren't challenging just annoying" he complained pulling out a grenade and lobbing it into the crowd of enemy soldiers.

Felina smiled and bowed to Barbaros as a way of saying thanks then put Zadina gently on the ground so she could take out her weapon. "Hey Zadina are you sure you're ok, do you need a potion or something? Maybe an ether?" she nagged at him firing an arrow into into the sword arm of a knight.
Satoshi smirked shaking her head "Trust me if I had a gil for every ninja who has claimed to be invinvible I would be a rich woman. There was this one guy I met who could pull off his own head and still stand" she told Gil finishing off her jutsu causing water to come crashing down onto the knights from above.
Hayate frowned taking out his knife to block an enemy blade. He then dug his weapon into the knight's foot to give him enough time to clamber up the nearest tree and fire an arrow into the head of the now injured soldier. "Don't get all embarrassed Hebal. It's a unique ability to have" he told her.

Mari grunted and glared at the Knight who blasted her as darkness engulfed him before she rushed forward cutting through the knight. "These guys are such a pain" she said dashing to the side as an onion knight archer shot at her.
Gilgamesh frowned before realising he wasn't wearing his helmet. He pointed a finger at the nearest knight and Enkidu leapt at the knight pummeling him to the ground "Really? That just sounds gross besides immortal or not I'm sure I could find a way to make his life inconvenient" he said clipping on his helmet.
Itaka nodded stabbing the enemy Seph felled as a knight stopped casting curaga dejectedly. "Don't get so damned cocky Alpha" he swore as the knight trapped by the ring of fire blasted Alpha with a waterga spell. Itaka charged his energy into his arm and struggled to unleash a slightly stronger dark spell that knocked the knight out of the ring of fire where Jenna swiftly finished the man.
Oassu frowned up at the dragon which appeared to have stopped rising out of the hole and started turning towards the group before blasting down with its mist breath. "Ugh not this stuff again" he coughed moving away from the center of the blast vaulting a knight as he went.
Zadina shook his head "I'm fine just found it hard to aim while you were carrying me" he said brushing Felina off and casting reflect on them which bounced a firaga spell back onto a knight in the nick of time.
Barbaros chuckled "Good work there small fry" he said kneeling down and aiming his cannon upwards before firing at the dragon.

Hebal nodded letting out a roar then a hiss at the dragon to try and communicate with it but quickly quietened down again as she noticed a figure was still sitting on the creatures back. "I don't think it's going to just fly away and leave us. He kinda already has a master" she frowned pointing to the shape of Neliel sitting on the dragon.
Alpha grunted unhappily as the remains of the water spell evaporated off his skin. "It's true. They aren't going to kill me with a little water. Now I know I said I was going to keep my appearence nice and all but thats going to go out the window in a sec when I change into my final form" he answered scuttling up the nearest tree so that he would be able to transform without being stabbed.
Seph rolled her eyes backing away a little from the fire "Just ignore the old fart even if he is overconfident and watch your language. Theres children about" she teased Itaka casting stop on the nearest knight then finishing him off with a swift slicing action almost splitting him on two.
