Three Warriors had asked Lance Grey if they could accompany him on his first mission as a Silver Ranked Mage. Inspired by their resolve, Lance decides to take them on a mission that is supposedly out of their league, and he promises to protect them from any danger they may come across.
Seeker: But Why?!!!! (Seeker complains to Lance)
Lance Grey: Because I'm not going on this mission alone, three people are going to be with me, and I can't have them find out that I have Curses. (Lance explains to Seeker and the Dark Hyenas)
Runt: They don't have to know we're there, we can just camouflage ourselves and be sneaky.
Lance Grey: True, but not all of you can become intangible like Runt, what if you accidentally trip them or something?
Huntress: I understand your point but I don't feel you should go it alone.
Lance Grey: I'm not, I want you and Hyena to come with me, the rest of you should go home.
Seeker: But Why?!!!!
Lance Grey: I've already said why!
Seeker: No I mean why can't I come with you? With my sense of smell at your disposal, you would be notified at the first sign of danger.
Lance Grey: This mission is not supposed to be dangerous, I'm only going to investigate, If we find something dangerous then Hyena and Huntress will help me take it out, If we find nothing, we're going to notify the townsfolk and put their minds at ease.
Hyena: Besides, you're not the only one with a keen sense of smell, we all do. (Hyena tells Seeker)
Seeker: Their not as good as mine! (Seeker retorts)
Lance Grey: (Sighs) Okay Seeker, I'm giving you a special job.
Seeker: What is it? (Seeker asks curiously)
Lance Grey: I want you to keep tabs on us, and if for any reason we find ourselves in trouble, come to our rescue. (Lance tells him with a smile)
Seeker: I'll do my very best Master! Come on slackers, let's go! We're the rescue team! (Seeker says as he hurries towards home)
Ravager: He's so needy right? (Ravager whispers)
Scavenger: Yeah, It's embarrassing sometimes. (Scavenger replies)
Seeker: I can smell you gossiping! Let's go! (Seeker yells in the distance)
Ravager: Jeez. Goodbye Master. (Ravager says before he leaves)
Scavenger: Good luck master. (Scavenger says before he leaves)
Runt: Take care master. (Runt says before he leave to meet up with the others)
Lance Grey: Bye! Now let's meet up with the Warriors. (Lance tells Hyena and Huntress, who then camouflage themselves and become invisible)
Jake Mercury: Why were you whispering over here? Are you talking to someone? (Jake asks, for he found Lance standing behind a tree)
Lance Grey: No! I was calling a friend with my Crystal Phone. (Lance lied, for he had no phone)
Jake Mercury: Oh Okay.
Adam Bright: Have you found him?! (Adam's voice echoes)
Jake Mercury: Yeah! He's over here! (Jake answers)
Adam Bright: There you are, we were starting to get worried.
Lance Grey: There's no need to worry. (Lance answers nervously)
Jessica Jade: You said you were going to the bathroom and then you snuck behind this tree.
Lance Grey: That's because I like to pee on trees. (Lance lies and instantly regretted saying that)
Jessica Jade: Weird, but i'm not here to judge. When are we going on the mission?
Lance Grey: Right now, we can take a Locomotive to get there as fast as possible.
Jake Mercury: Yikes, those are kinda expensive.
Adam Bright: Our goal is to make as much money as we can, we can't waste money on such luxuries.
Jessica Jade: What he means to say is that we can't afford to ride on a Locomotive, If it's not a bother, we could all take a carriage instead, you can deduct a bit of our share of the reward as compensation for the inconvenience.
Lance Grey: That won't be necessary, I'll pay for the fare of the Locomotive, don't worry about it.
Jake Mercury: Hear that Jessica, this guy is really nice, If this all works out, maybe we can work together again. (Jake says with a smile as he places an arm over Lance's shoulders)
Lance Grey: Sure thing, you can all count on me. (Lance tells them with a warm smile)
Lance and the Warriors walk to the Locomotive station with Hyena and Huntress secretly following them. Once they reach the station, they see lots of Locomotives, all parked and loading up with passengers, Lance asks one of the Conductors if he was going to the Lunar Forest.
Conductor: The Lunar Forest you say, No I'm not going anywhere near there, head over there, that one's going to Vine town, It's a town near the Lunar Forest. (The conductor says as he directs them to the Locomotive they should take)
Lance and the Warriors head over to the other Locomotive and talk to it's conductor, after a quick chat, they all board the Locomotive. The vehicle hovers as it prepares to fly through the air.
Hyena: Follow me! (Hyena instructs as he leaps onto the hovering Locomotive while camouflaged)
Huntress follows Hyena's lead and also leaps onto the Locomotive.
Huntress: What now? (Huntress asks as she balances on the vehicle)
Hyena: Sink your claws into the roof. Try not to over do it or the conductor would notice. (Hyena says as he gently sinks his claws into the metal roof)
Huntress: (Sinks her claws into the roof) It appears you've done this before.
Hyena: It took trial and error but yeah. Now brace yourself for take off. (Hyena instructs)
Huntress: Understood! (Huntress replies as she braces herself)
The Locomotive hovers higher into the air before zooming into the sky at impressive speeds. The journey for Lance and the Warriors was nice and relaxing, but for the Dark Hyenas, it was terrible and very stressful, but eventually they all make it to Vine town.
Lance Grey, Adam Bright, Jake Mercury, Jessica Jade and the Dark Hyenas have been taken to Vine town via Locomotive. Now they can officially begin their mission to investigate the Lunar Forest.
Jessica Jade: That must be the Lunar Forest, let's head over there and complete this mission as soon as possible.
Lance Grey: Wait, there's something very important we have to do first. (Lance says in a serious tone)
Adam Bright: What is it? (Adam asks curiously)
Lance Grey: Sight Seeing? (Lance responds)
Adam Bright: Sight Seeing? What?!
Jessica Jade: Surely you jest, we can't go sightseeing while we're on an important mission.
Lance Grey: Of course we can, It's our first time here, we need to appreciate the beautiful sights this town has to offer, with so many bad things going on nowadays, we need to enjoy the peace while it lasts. (Lance explains)
Jake Mercury: Woah, that's deep... Well I'm sold, let's go sightseeing! (Jake says excitedly)
Adam Bright: It is your mission after all, so whatever, count me in.
Jessica Jade: You really are a strange one, but yet I feel like I can learn a lot from you. Count me in as well. (Jessica says with a smile)
Lance Grey: Thank you guys, I'm sure you won regret it. (Lance tells them happily)
Meanwhile Huntress and Hyena leap off the Locomotive and find a place to hide while they catch their breath.
Huntress: I hated that! Let's never do it again! (Huntress says angrily)
Hyena: I would love to agree to that but it is still the fastest and safest form of travel for our master.
Huntress: Safest?! I almost fell out of the sky! (Huntress retorts)
Hyena: Just endure please, trust me you'll get used to it.
Huntress: When we were with Midnight we never had to go through anything like this.... And he wasn't embarrassed to be seen with us. (Huntress says sadly)
Hyena: Lance isn't Midnight, he's a human with the powers of a Great Demon, If people found that out, they would never accept him and may even try to harm him, Is that what you want?
Huntress: No. I just want to be useful to him.
Hyena: Then we must continue to work with him in secret, that's the best way to support him.
Huntress: Okay... Where is he anyway? (Huntress asks, for Lance had already gone)
Lance and the Warriors spend some time in Vine town, they check out check out the scenery, buy some souvenirs and even get something to eat. Once there were done, they head towards the Lunar Forest to start their mission.
As Lance and the Warriors enter the forest, Lance makes sure to stay ahead of them at all times, in case something dangerous appears.
Huntress: Master. (Huntress whispers from within a bush)
Lance Grey: Huh? Huntress is that you? (Lance asks the rustling bush)
Hyena: It's us. We lost sight of you and started searching for you in the forest.
Huntress: But this place is crawling with deadly Magic beasts, you and Warriors need to prepare for battle, they will be here soon.
Lance Grey: I understand, I'll call if I need you.
Huntress and Hyena hide back in the bush, while Lance goes back to the Warriors.
Lance Grey: Hey guys I forgot to ask, what are your magical abilities, It's better if I know. (Lance tells them hurriedly)
Jake Mercury: Well I can shoot beams of energy from my eyes, It's a pretty awesome ability that I'm very proud of. (Jake says confidently)
Adam Bright: I can create force fields, they're not very durable but its better than nothing. (Adam says bluntly)
Jessica Jade: My ability is ice, I can freeze anything I touch...Although our abilities sound impressive, they're actually very weak compared to someone whose naturally blessed with magic power, our society today rewards the strong and shuns the weak, that's the real reason we have Nobles and Commoners. But we've trained a lot with these powers and we're very skilled in combat, so don't worry about us, we can take care of ourselves.
Strange noises can then be heard in the distance.
Lance Grey: I hope that's true, because we have company. (Lance says as he turns to face the direction the sound came from)
In a matter of moments, Lance and the Warriors find themselves surrounded by Magic beasts of many different species, of which they've never heard of or seen before.
Jake Mercury: What types of Magic beasts are these? (Jake asks in distress)
Adam Bright: I'm not sure, I've never even seen some of these species, and I've done a lot of research on Magic beasts.
Jessica Jade: Hold your nerve guys! Prepare for battle! (Jessica tells them as her hands turn white from ice)
Lance Grey: You all should fight to the best of your abilities, I'll watch your backs. (Lance tells them determinately)
Several of the Magic beasts lunge towards them with gnashing teeth and razor sharp claws at the ready.
Lance Grey: Hyena! Give me your power! (Lance commands and the camouflaged Hyena leaps into his body)
As a Magic beast is about to sink it's teeth into Lance, he grabs it by the throat and breaks it's neck.
Dark Lance: Bring it on!!! (Dark Lance roared as his tendrils shoot out of his body and wrap around the other attacking beasts)
Adam Bright: Great Spirits! What is that?! (Adam asks in shock)
Dark Lance: You came here to help me fight right?! Then let's fight together! (Dark Lance bellows as he uses his tendrils to slam the Magic beasts into the ground)
Next: Dark Hero.
