The Harpies laugh manically as the Alice and company look on.
"Dammit there's more of them now," Alice says.
"Dont worry we should be fine, I will protect the Princess no matter what. " Jericho says.
"We are even in numbers we should match up with one," Dillia says.
"We'll take them out here and now we must not let them near Emilia," Alice says boldly.
"RIGHT," the group says together.
"SOMEONE HELP AM BEING CHASED BY DOGS," Kaneda says.
Everyone looks on.
"Should I assist Captain Kaneda," Cecilia asks.
"Nope let him be he's just playing around," Paige says.
"BUT".
"Stay here lieutenant I will need you. To help protect the princess."
"Yes, Captain."
"Ugh, she's right I guess cardio time is over it was fun getting chased by them tho. Gravity Ball" Kaneda proceeds then to stop running around and playing chase with the hounds as he sends the hounds flying. Slowly putting them all away in the ground.
The Harpies then begin to huddle and stop laughing as they soar to the sky.
The Virtues and company brace for a full-on assault. The Harpies then swoop down from the sky with full force.
"Let's get on with it," Aello says.
"With pleasure," Ocypete says with excitement with the swords her feet lunging forward.
"Hahaha" Podarge laughs hysterically.
Celaeno charges forward without saying a word.
Aello charges at Alice as she swiftly dodges "Nice stone you got there can I hold it," Aello says. "You have no right to hold this demon," Alice says.
Dillia dodges Ocypetes sword. "I sense a great power within you girl what is it." " See for yourself," Dillia says calmly. "I sense no fear in you are you not afraid that you are about to meet your end" "I do not fear something that I can easily defeat" Dillia smiles.
"The girl is your little knight," Podarge says. "No one touches her highness," Jericho says as he blocks the attack with his sword. "Nice blade you got there with a cute little symbol what is that? "A symbol that means your demise," Jericho says coldly holding the blade in hand as it makes a hissing noise.
"Well looks like there taking care of let's retrieve the girl," Alexia says.
"Okay," Xella follows behind.
Suddenly one of the dogs goes flying towards them. "Sorry, girls can't let you do that," Kaneda says.
"Ugh, why are you always trying to be in a handicap situation? First the temple now this" Xella says annoyingly.
"You know this man?" Alexia asks.
"Yeah he faired pretty well against Luxk, Dxn, and me but one small distraction got him in a cold situation," Xella says.
"Well, it should be easy then. Defeat him and retrieve the girl." Alexia states with confidence.
"Defeat hahaha. Who said you're going to defeat me." Kaneda laughs hysterically.
"No worries Alexia I'll just freeze him again," Xella says.
"Were a bad match-up for you Captain," Alexia smirks with confidence.
"This time is different," Kaneda says.
Paige and Cecilia look on as the battle match-up commence.
"It looks like the stage is set I'll create a barrier between the matchups.
One by one the fights get separated being blocked off in their own section.
"Wait Captain where is the last Harpie?" Cecilia asks.
Suddenly within a split second Celaeno, the dark appears in front of them. "So you're the Mage that created this" Celaeno says she then proceeds to shoot feathers infused with magic inside the safe room. The feathers shoot around the safe room. "She missed?" Cecilia wonders. "No, she got it"
"Crap"
BOOM the feathers explode behind them.
The three fall out of the safe room.
Paige wounded "If I didn't get off that Shield of Ajax on us we would've been done for."
"Is that all you can do Mage is defend? You have no offense?" Celaeno wonders as the harpie flaps her wings in the sky.
"NO" Cecilia stands up a little wounded. "My Captain is the Sheild of the Pacific Mage Association and I am her Sword!" Cecilia unsheathes her rapier. "En garde" Cecilia stands with her rapier engaged for combat.
"Princess Emilia all you alright?" Paige asks.
"Yes am fine are you alright Captain?" just a few scratches here and there nothing major.
Emilia looks up at everyone fighting and frowns as she is concerned for the others.
"Don't worry they can do this," Paige says.
Alice continues dodging Aello's close-up attacks.
"Come on when are you going to attack my pretty" Aello taunts Alice.
The onslaught continues "So Aello the storm wind? Are you called that because you are good at wind magic?"
"Yes, shall I display my power?" Aello asks.
"Yes, you may." Alice invites Aello to show her abilities.
AIR CUTTER. Sharp attacks on Air hurl towards Alice as he blocks it without a firewall.
"Good good," Alice says.
"Hm these flames are you perhaps part of the Alexandria family?," Aello speaks.
"Indeed."
"I would presume that Alexandrite stone around your neck seems real pretty. What if I take it away from you will I be able to control the flames as well as you do."
Alice with a serious expression "You will never touch this."
"Let's see about that" Aello laughs.
Aello keeps hitting Alice with nonstop Air Cutters from the sky then lunging forward to Alice. The Air Cutters then delay and then start to come down as Aello is using close-range attacks with Alice.
Alice dodged the fury not breaking a sweat "You see am just debating what should I defeat you with. Shall I test out a new god on you? Or shall I -"
"Too much talking is going to get you killed" Aello exclaims.
"You are right no more talking no more games," Alice says.
FIREBALL
Alice throws a quick fireball at Aello. She easily brushes it away with her wind.
Alice begins to glow a red hue the Alexandria stone begins to glow "I call upon thee,-"
Aello raises her hand and strong wind begins to form in her palm. Aello shoots it like a baseball from where Alice is standing and a tornado is formed. "Take that," Aello says proudly.
"The god of fire, the kami, the warrior" Kagu-Tsuchi!!
A giant pillar of flame breaks through the winds.
"Your winds a very impressive I must say but I've been in combat with better. The title storm wind should belong to a special someone I know. " Alice says from the flame pillar.
Aello looks on as the pillar disappears and Alice emerges.
In battle armor with a sword made of flames in hand. A red dress made of flames, with her golden hair highlighted by the flames of fire, her hair up in a ponytail, her eyes glowing a red hue, with her virtue sigil displayed behind her, with a majestic, and mesmerizing look.
"Come demon and meet your end," Alice says as the sword transforms into a flaming dragon.
"Now you're getting serious," Aello says as she holds two mini tornados in her hand and begins to glow a light green hue.
Mini tornados begin to form around Aello and she starts to create another Tornado.
"What is your name Mage," Aello asks.
"Alice Alexandria" Alice responds.
"Let's see what prevails the storm winds or your flames Alice " as she smiles and heads towards Alice being covered with mini air cutters.
"I heard this before, must I teach another lesson to another wind user? " Alice says boldly charging in with her flaming blade.
The two charge at one another.
