Welcome to Gaia! ::

"you really have to ask?" the Dragon said almost eagerly as Mick smirked and scratched his head looking at Nashi when she talked about Larcade "well ... lets save that for later when we get to Crocus, maybe Simon can talk to his all knowing Jedi superiors of his, the guy can never shut up about them" he said then looked up at the sky "it's gonna be weird seeing everyone seven years older ... bet Giovanni still has his nose in his books with Mavis and Neel, Gwydion just clowning around making Julian loose concentration, the Oblivians and Titania trying to see who's the scariest ... some things never change for our guild" he said wistfully as Azazel grew to full size and Mick got on as well as Frik "luckily Frik needs no flaggon to ease his nerves upon this dragon" "i won't go too fast, promise"

hearing Nashi, Mick didn't move or speak. his brother? dead? and him expelled from Fairy Tail? AND turning evil? the mage couldn't seem to handle it as it seemed like he was going to cry but nothing came "wh .... wha ..." Mick couldn't even make words come. Frik looked at the two Dragneels and stood up looking at them "history perhaps Frik is not sure ... but Frik knows now your heart is pure. if Emrys you say is a friend to you, then Frik will aid you in any way i can do ..... Frik may not look strong nor even smart, but Frik is tricky, and sneaky, and will help mend your heart" the Brownie said as Mick looked at him in confusion "but ... but i destroyed your home" he said as Frik looked more determined "your mission is just, that much is clear. Frik will help when we leave from here" he said as though that was the end of the matter which Mick finally nodded accepting it then looked at Nashi for a while with an emotionless face then turned away "expelled or not, i'm not going anywhere till i make sure my baby brother is safe" he said as Azazel silently lifted into the sky and flew through the air

"i never understood you changing your name on jobs ... i mean your magic would give you away wouldn't it?" he asked as Azazel smirked as they rose into the clouds to give them some cover "right, hold on guys ... ready Azazel?" he asked as the dragon nodded "ready! MAX SPEED!" he cried out as a jet of fire shot out from Azazel's feet propelling them like a jet creating a sonic boom

Just as one of Grimm was lounge at Takara, but suddenly the gun fires at it's head and leaves it dead as it dissolved. Orpheus held his pistol gun, before he and Rune spoken in latin language to summon their demons, Amon-Ra and Thanatos, as the dark smoke around them. Hinata was surprised, Alice and her brothers just shrugged, "You will get use to it," said Hiro as he snickered, Rune looked at Amon-Ra and Thantos, "Take care of those creatures, if you see Nuckelavee, we will get there to assist you two," he told them, yet assist them if Nuckelavee arrived, "Very well," said Amon-Ra, before two demons head to the forest to take care of Grimms. Hinata looked at the demons rush to the battle against the Grimms, "Will they be okay?" "Those demons linked with them, if they get hurt, so can Rune and Orpheus," Alice replied to Hinata about Rune and Orpheus' demons link to their summoners. Hinata was concern about them, her byakugan already tracked where the crashing sites landed, she pointed where it's landed, "There, but it's not that far."

Because of byakugan's blind spot, but both Hinata and Alice senses darkness aura and before they can react, Nobunaga and five of his cat army fired their rifles over their head. They both turned around to see the Griffon fell backward and dissolved itself. However, after Hinata pointing at the location of crash site, Takara run towards the location with Nobunaga. Before anyone can react, Rune groan in pain as his hand placed against his chest and kneeled down. it draws their attention. "Rune, what-" his cuts off when the screech is louder before everyone covered their ears. Kaito widen his brown eyes, "What the h*ll is that!?" "It's Nuckelavee!" Orpheus shouts back, right where Thanatos was thrown out with the grimm's arm against his chest. When Thanatos crashed down, Orpheus scream in pain as he and Rune were down. Alice, her older twin brothers, and Hinata were shock about extended arm with claw. They suddenly hear the hooves foot steps, Hinata summoned her keyblade, while the assassins draw their swords, the extended arm were jerky pulled back. Only Hinata and the assassins only sees a horse walked out, with the imp limping to the right. The imp's arm twitch right before the imp raise it's body up to start screeching to reveal the Nuckelavee as they covered their ears. Rune groaned and sat up, then glared at the creature, "That's the Nuckelavee, but not like original Norse and Scottish mythology. What the h*ll is that thing!"

Hinata and the assassins were focus on Nuckelavee, just as the imp jerky lean forward and focus on the group. Drake begin to speak, "Now how are we going to deal with this Nuckelavee?" he asked everyone, while keeping his eyes on the Grimm. Hinata begin to think, right before the horse charge towards them, "Spread out!" she shouts and the assassins ran separately, Hiro and Kaito risking their lives to drag Rune and Orpheus away. Hinata jumped to the branch, then threw her shurikins at the horse, it neighed loudly and backed away. Suddenly, she and Alice picked up the dark presence, but they have to focus on Nuckelavee first, hoping both Nobunaga and Takara were okay. Alice and Drake ran towards the the horse's back, due to familiarities with horse assassination, they activated their hidden blade to attempt to assassinate the imp. The imp saw this coming as the arm extended towards Alice to slam her against the tree, Drake widen his green eyes, "Alice!" he shouts and the horse uses it's hooves to kick him away. Amon-Ra came out of the forest and cast his fire magic to burn it's arm, who let's go of Alice to focus on the demon. It seems like it's been durable against the fire.

Nuckelavee and Amon-Ra continue to fight, just as Rune exits the forest and save Alice, he looked at Hinata, "Now Hinata!" he shouts, just as Hinata pushed her feet against the branch to speed towards Nuckelavee, then swings her keyblade to split both imp and horse apart. Once they separate, they were in pain, however the horse was about to stomp Hinata, but Thanatos arrived to smash it's head and Orpheus summoned his scythe to swing the imp's head. Both Grimms dissolved to black smoke, Alice groaned in pain, Drake walked out of the bush, Hiro and Kaito walked out of their hiding, dusting the leaves away from their sleeves. They all watched both grimms dissolved, as Amon-Ra and Thanatos disappeared in black smoke, "So that is Nuckelavee?" "Not exactly, the humanoid suppose to have human hands without the horns and skinless demons. Trust me, that demon isn't pretty to see," Rune corrected her about Nuckelavee's anatomy. Drake placed his arm over Alice's shoulder, showing his concern about her, but he's worried about Nobunaga and Takara, "We will figure out about the creature later, but we need to check if Takara and Nobunaga finally got the Keyblade Piece," he said to everyone, while Alice and Hinata looked uneasy. Hiro and rest of men agreed, then they walked towards where Takara and the cat ran off, unknowing the danger that Hinata and Alice sensed.

Alice and the rest arrived the crashing site, but they bear witnessed the battle between two kings as they were all shock, although they couldn't identify them. Kaito noticed Takara, so he rush ahead, "Takara!" he called out and kneeled down and held him up. Hinata and Alice followed Kaito, however Hinata checked his broken arm and she widen her eyes, she looked at the assassins, "Cover me please," she ordered them before she gently placed her both palms over his arm to cast healing jutsu to heal his arm. The assassins and Tensai brothers nodded, while focus on the the battle, however Alice immediately recognize the man in white hair, "Wait, Nobunaga Oda?" she spoken out, all of male lifted their head and looked at her dumbfounded, then they suddenly overreact in dismay. "That's Nobunaga! How the h*ll did he transformed from a cat to that!? Who the h*ll is that big blue guy!?" Rune shouted, he cannot believe he's seeing demon king form of infamous warlord, and wonder who was he fighting. Orpheus thought of it, then recalled Nobunaga and Joshua mentioned about Daichi, "I'm going to assume that's Daichi," he said to his brother, hearing Daichi made them look alert. Kaito narrowed his eyes about Nobunaga to compare to his appearance and Mitsuki's, which he and the rest back in London speculated that they could be related as human because of similar family crest between Kokoromi and Oda clan. They don't look like, but he and rest of assassins only knows Mitsuki was a split image of her human mother, save for silver blue eyes and white wolf ears from her demon father. He recall when he and his siblings took Mitsuki under their wings to train her to become an assassin after defeating Fox and Desmond's death, and they trained her bushido and Japanese Martial Arts Swordsmanship: iaijutsu, kenjutsu, battojutsu, and ninjutsu. They already know she mastered Kyodo and Suzume taught her traditional Shrine Maiden to channel both spiritual and purification power including kagura dance, and Ayame taught her to transform into her devil trigger and channel her demonic power, so they wouldn't have to worry about archery. Both Japanese Gods of War and Wisdom sometimes appear as war deities teach her to follow their move with swords, while wisdom deities teaches her the knowledge of her opponents. After Alice and Hiro return to Japan, Kaito continue to train her, until she mastered her swordsmanship and he sent her to Japan to train jujutsu, karate, kudo, aikido, and shorinji kempo to learn her hand-to-hand combat. However, her hand-to-hand combats was the results of accidentally gravely injured their students, Kaito and his siblings feared Templars and soldiers will find out her superhuman strength will lead to her, then track her down and their hideout to break one of tenets, so they suggested her to use her swordsman skills against templars as she agreed. Because of her experience of silent treatment and her short stature, Mitsuki was useful on stealth without any presence to any soldiers and templars. Kaito thought of Nobunaga and Mitsuki's swordsmen skills, but he shook his head, "There is no way he is related with my student," he refused to believe Nobunaga and Mitsuki as relatives, and they don't look alike. Alice and Hiro agreed, while Orpheus and Rune looked puzzled due to fact Suzume took care of their youngest brother. Alice begin to worry because Nobunaga and Daichi's dark power clashed each other, while observing two kings, "Based on clashing their swords, they seems to be known each other. If only Mitsuki is here to assist," she commented about using their blade to talk to each other, and muttered about Mitsuki assistance. Drake observed the fight, then glanced at Kaito "Can she defeat him?" he asked Kaito, who shook his head and lowered his voice, "Lady Suzume once told me the greater demons would either shrug it off or resist it, so no. If Mitsuki shoot her sacred arrow at Daichi, it could depel his daemonic power or distraction, but it might give Nobunaga a chance to win."
