A Bang

"Hino? What's going on?" Kagiyama asks as soon as he answered.

"Dad, when are we beginning the attack?" Hino asks her father and the other girls look at her and wait.

"Soon why?"

"I need a time."

"I don't know, we're going to attack as soon as everyone's ready. Why?"

"Eric can't fight right now. He can in about thirty minutes though."

"Why not? Is he injured?"

"No, but it'll take to long to explain. So is the attack happening within thirty minutes?"

"I'm not sure. Can Eric come here? We have our CHQ set up and defended. If he could stay here and join after the fight starts that'd work."

"I'm not sure, let me ask. We'll be there soon."

"Okay, see you soon." Kagiyama says before Hino hangs up.

"What'd he say?" Luna asks.

"We have our CHQ set up. It stands for Combat Headquarters. It's where we have our strategists and Guildmasters until they enter the battle. Anyway, it's heavily defended as all out communications and stragies come from it. So would he be able to finish this there and join the fight after he's done?" Hino asks.

"I'm not sure." Asami answers.

"How about we go, and if he decides not to, which he won't, we'll come back." Luna says and Asami smiles.

"You're right. Go get Innu and tell her we're going to a battlefield." Asami responds and Luna starts to run off.

"Wait! Luna give this to Innu." Myla says taking a large two handed sword from her Spatial Pouch. Luna grabs it and runs off again.

"Ramia, will anything bad happen if we remove these?" Hino asks.

"No, t-they only observe. T-they can't interfere w-with anything. T-they're basically c-cameras that can r-read mana instead of s-seeing." Ramia answers and helps to remove the cords and wires from Eric. Innu and Luna come back once they finish. They've put their armor on and have their weapons stored away.

"We're ready!" Innu says excitedly.

"H-here. I made s-some more." Ramia says handing the two three healing potions each.

"Thanks!" Luna says hugging her.

"Here." Ramia says handing Myla and Hino two each. They thank her and put their armor on as well.

"Myla, help me with him." Asami says while trying to lift Eric up.

"Okay, I got him. Hino do you want to swap with Asami?" Myla asks after lifting him up.

"No! I'm going to!" Asami says sternly.

"This is a battlegrounds you know." Hino warns and Asami nods.

"And I have protection. I won't need guards or anything." She replies and Hino sighs.

"Okay, well are you girls ready?" Hino asks a nd the others nod, except for Ramia.

"I'll s-stay here. I'm g-going to look at the results." She says.

"Okay, let's go then." Myla says before returning to the school and taking the others with her, except for Ramia.

"Is this everyone?" Scott asks.

"Yep, let's go!" Asami says and Scott looks at her surprised. Before he can say anything Myla shakes her head. He lead them to the minivan and help get Eric in the back. Luna and Innu are on his sides and Asami and Myla take the middle. Hino gets up front and Scott starts driving.

"So, what's going on?" Hino asks.

"Thanks to Eric's Enchanting, our Dungeon Orb, it allowed us to see them meet. Currently both the Litch King, Katorg guild's leader and second in command are meeting. We know that a lot of other members are their as well. They seem to be trading bodies. And from what we can see it'll take a while. Our plan is to attack and try to take the Litch King out quickly. If he manages to turn the bodies into undead he'll have a small army. However, we suspect that the Devils might join the battle. Especially if our suspicions about them and the Litch King working together are true."

"So what your saying, is that this might turn into a war with a small undead army, the Katorg guild, a Litch King, and the Devils?" Asami asks and Scott nods. The rest of the ten minute car ride is silent. Once they arrive at there destination. They entered a dark underground tunnel that's been blocked by the police. They let them in and when they come out they're in the middle of a desert.

"What happened?" Innu asks in awe.

"This is the result of a gate. The government has installed them at various places and allows the guilds monitored use of them. It's a device enchanted with the Teleportation spell." Hino explains as Scott stops the car. They all get out with Luna and Innu carrying Eric. Scott leads them past a bunch of tents and lines of people. The entire camp is filled with movement as others run around with papers and equipment. Scott opens the tarp, acting as a door, to the biggest tent in the center of the camp. Inside is Kagiyama, Kallen, Sugano and Liz. They're looking at various pictures or talking with others.

"We're here!" Hino says running up to her parents.

"Good, has Scott filled you in?" Kallen asks approaching them.

"Yes, I'm assuming the Litch King got impatient and is using undead to speed things along?" Asami asks and the others look to her surprised.

"Yes, how'd you know that?" Sugano asks impressed.

"I guessed. I doubt he wants to wait around for people to move bodies he plans to turn. So it just made sense for him to turn some of them to speed things along."

"Impressive little lady, where's Eric?" Zack asks from behind Kagiyama. He has his armor on and Claire is behind him. She has a set of cloth covered in runes and magic circles on.

"Right here!" Luna says and Asami moves to show him. He's still **** and has been laid down against an empty wooden box.

"That's a problem." Claire says calmly and Zack grunts.

"What's going on with him?" Kagiyama asks worried.

"He broke the other seal. He'll be awake soon though." Zack answers.

"How'd you know that?" Innu asks him.

"His hair. Once it's all purple he'll wake up. Also, I know you have questions about it but lets save those for later." Claire answers.
