It was rare to find Fisher teaming up with someone for a mission, but the circumstances of this mission some what forced his hand on the matter. A group of Lizard Men attacking the town of Clover was too much for Julia and Jasmine to handle so another mage, Yoichi was brought into the mission as well from the guild Griffin Wing. Not a man that he usually associated with, but he was quiet enough not to annoy him while they killed lizards. With Julia and Jasmine resting safely in their holsters everything looked fine as they made their way into Clover for Fisher's first team mission. Julia was rather upset about the presence of another person, but he chose to ignore her this time for the good of his health, and even though Jasmine wasn't too happy either, she remained her ever silent self through the whole trip.

He didn't know how many lizards they would have to kill to satisfy the job, but the 12 bullets in his guns would hopefully be enough if his partner could carry himself. Being a stronger Mage than Fisher himself, it was sure to be an educational experience watching him kill, and seeing the a different type of magic. He wasn't sure what the man used, but it was sure to be devastating just due to his level of magic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because of recent events, Yoichi had dawned a long black trench coat as well as a black hood to match it. Underneath the black coat and hood a faint purple glow was seen emitting from it. Since Yoichi had dawned the new garb, Nobody had ever seen what it was that was causing the glow, Or even what was underneath the robes. Just as well, There was a much darker glow emiting from his chest, The shape could be easily distinguished as the Griffin Wing Guild Emblem. Yoichi kept his head down as they approached the city and made their way in. His hands covered with black gloves, He brought the other male with him to the Mayor's house and retrieved all of the offical information on the mission. When they had the information needed he made his way quickly out of the house and towards the side of town that the Mayor had said the Lizardmen attack from. He had no plans on leaving this city until the Lizardmen's next attack was defeated as he didn't wish to risk going out and leaving the city defenseless.

With that in mind, He didn't wait for the male to follow, If he followed then he followed. If he didn't, Then he didn't. Either way, It didn't affect Yoichi's choice to stand outside the gates of the city, Waiting for the Lizardmen to show. His usual White Trench Coat had been stashed away in the old room of his former Guild Master, Riley Aquila. The things he was hiding his White Trench Coat wouldn't of hidden very well. What was he hiding? Why was he hiding it? Nobody knew. Ever since that day Yoichi hadn't said a single word to anyone....Not even Durri, His new Guild Master. Irregardless, He had no time to dwell on the past, He had to look towards the present and near future. Thankfully, He wasn't waiting long either as the Lizardmen's next attack had come about 10 minutes after he had reached the gates. He could see them all, Moving towards the city from the forest surrounding it. How pathetic they all looked...Feasting off mere humans who had no way of defending themselves....

'Disgusting' He muttered, Extending his right arm out, A magical circle appearing and splitting off into two, A sword with a crystal blade forming to be 9 feet in length. Surprisingly, Despite its length, Yoichi weilded it with one hand and moved it as though it were a regular sword. He swong it downward, Carving into the ground with it as he made his way to meet the lizardmen. Yoichi had no time to play games with these pathetic and disgusting creatures, He had no intentions on saying anything to them. His only intention was to kill every single one of them for daring to pick on the weak and defenseless. If one could see his eyes, They wouldn't see a murderous killer as his next actions might lead one to believe, Rather...They'd see someone who was devoid of emotions, Someone who was searching for something they had no hope of ever reaching or obtaining again. His blade dragged along the ground, A horrible 'hissing' sound emitting from the tip of the blade. His blade glowing with a black darkness and soaking the blade in it.

[/li][li]Spell Name: Requip - Crystal Blade
Type: Requip
Level: Mediocre
Range: Self
Description: Summons a Crystal Sword, the blade, As the name implies, Resembles very closely to that of a Crystal shard, It's thickness, diameter and length is relevant to the Magic Attack of the user. This has no initial upfront cost, However drains mana every post, Including the one that it's summoned in. The blade is also surprisingly light weight, No matter what the length so it's easily usable with a single hand.

Blade Length:
0-19: 4 feet
20-39: 6 feet
40+: 8-9 feet
Drawback: If any part of the blade is broken, It cannot be repaired for the rest of the thread, If the entire blade (Up to the hilt) is broken by a spell or attack that is 1 level or more above it, The hilt shatters in the users hand and renders them unable to use that hand for the rest of the thread and cripples it. Causing any attack from that hand to have 25% reduced effectiveness. If this effect is on the user then he must post this drawback in his starting post.[/spoiler]

Fisher had no problem with moving as quickly as possible to get this mission done. He was excited to see what would happen to the lizardmen when they ran into a pair of mages instead of the frightened villagers. The fear in their eyes as they dies would be all too sweet a view for the gun mage, but it seemed his current companion was very eager to start this off first. Figuring it was okay to let him have a little fun fisrt, Fisher sat back and observed as the Lizards began their charge to the village and it's guardian. The strange darkness that shone from Yoichi was worrisome for Jasmine, but it was surely just the excess of magical power he wielded.

It was disappointing to see that he summoned a sword for combat instead of just blasting them away. There was something about swords that Fisher just didn't like when he looked at them. Perhaps the fact that he couldn't picture a sword as a real person like he could Jasmine and Julia. He would just have to show his new acquaintance the way of the gun. After he let him have a bit of fun of course, since he still wanted to see the level of skill the man brought to the table, just for later reference. He kept Julia and Jasmine close at hand just in case one of the beasts made it's way for him, but the chances of them getting past Yoichi right now were slim.

[atrb=width, 440, true][atrb=border, 0, true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style, padding: 15px;]•••••••yoichi sugiyama ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It wasn't long before the Lizardmen were in range, His blade raising to be level with the waists of the Lizardmen. "Begone from my sight vile creatures" He muttered softly, Swinging the blade and releasing a surge of raw mana from his blade, The color of it as black as it was when it was being built up in his blade. When it made contact, It sliced through the Lizardmen with relative ease. However he didn't stop moving, Even after the Lizardmen were cut in half. He stepped over the dead bodies of the fallen reptiles, His blade slowly returning to his side and dragging against the ground, Still making the hissing sound as before. It was clear that now the male had no intention on staying there now that the wave had been killed. He wanted to find the encampment and finish every last one of them off as quickly as possible. His movement was quick, Seeming to 'jump' forward with each step such was his speed. If the male stood around too long he'd be left behind. The good thing about Yoichi was the bright purple light that was constantly being emitted from his body, It'd make it much easier for the male to find him even if he did get left behind or got lost within the forest. One question remained however, How was it Yoichi planned on finding the Lizardmen encampment if there were none left alive? Well, The answer was simple...Level the entire forest until he found the bloody thing.

[John King Fisher]

Scary. The man he had brought with him had a fearsome amount of power to slice down all of those Lizardmen by himself with just a single swing of his sword. Fisher wasn't sure he could ever catch up to the power of that man, and he wasn't even one of the strongest mages in the world. He ran as fast as he could after the man, following the glowing light that encompassed him, into the forest to find the lizard man camp. He kept Julia and Jasmine holstered, as his help would most likely get in the way rather than earn him any kills for this mission. He would just have to tag along and watch, the destruction caused by this man and imagine what it would be like at his level of power.

Julia and Jasmine's voices fell silent, in as much awe as Fisher himself, even if they had been trying to get his confidence back up after witnessing the attack. He managed to catch up to the man and stood some distance behind him while watching. "How do you expect to find them now I wonder? Will take quite a lot of time to search the whole place looking for them." Fisher wasn't sure even if he knew any way to find them all now that the rest had died.

[atrb=width, 440, true][atrb=border, 0, true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style, padding: 15px;]•••••••yoichi sugiyama ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He released the hilt of his sword and it vanished "They will find us" He told him softly as they walked. He didn't even seem to be trying to find the Lizardmen as he wandered about Taking random turns and directions until at last, They had done exactly as he said they would. As soon as they had taken what seemed to be their umpteenth turn, 4 Lizardmen had popped up from the brushes around them, Armed with long spears and buckler shields. "Take care of 3 of them, The 4th will lead us to their village where I will kill the remainder" He told the boy, Standing perfectly still and not even bothering to look at the lizardmen as they circled the two of them and licked their spear tips with their elongated tongues. 2 of them charging Fisher, Thrusting their spears straight for his heart. The other two lurking on the sidelines and waiting for their chance. Under his hood, Yoichi was just waiting, Watching for his chance to nab one of the 4 and beat the Lizardmen until they would lead them to where he wanted. His body remaining perfectly still, His arms hidden under the black trench coat, His back to the boy at the moment.

[John King Fisher]

As he was told they would, the Lizardmen had decided to ambush the duo that had managed to take out their entire strike force. Not too smart necessarily, but that was the brain of a Lizardman Fisher supposed. He wasn't too keen on taking orders from another person, but to disagree with him could be a danger to his health right now. Drawing his guns, Fisher charged the bullets with his strongest spell, the explosive shot which left his guns and plunged their way into the chests of the Lizardmen before exploding inside of their chests. Such a small number of creatures was easy to deal with, so it was no big deal to take them out for Yoichi, even though he could of taken them himself in an instant.

The third took another 2 explosive shots all to himself, directly to his mouth where they exploded upon impact, taking him out of the equation as well. "The fourth is all yours then Yoichi. Thanks for giving me just a little taste of battle this time." This was certainly a more thrilling assignment than Fisher had expected it to be already, the idea of seeing a Lizardman camp slaughtered was a very appealing idea for him.

[atrb=width, 440, true][atrb=border, 0, true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style, padding: 15px;]•••••••yoichi sugiyama ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yoichi still hadn't moved from his spot. Even as the First, Second and Third lizardmen were killed. The fourth continued circling them before darting off. It wasn't long after that Yoichi had vanished from his spot, A small gust of wind following him. The Lizardmen's speed was nothing in comparison to him so catching the fleeing Lizardmen was a simple task. He brought him back to Fisher and dropped him down in front of the boy, Beaten and brusied. He began walking away from the boy "Kill him" He said, Not waiting as he made his way towards the Lizard Encampment. "YOU LIED! YOU SWORE YOU'D SPARE ME IF I TOLD YOU!" The lizardmen spouted, Yoichi stopping shortly after the words were said, Turning to face the Lizardmen he walked back towards him, Kicking him down and slamming his foot into the creatures chest "I said >> I << would not kill you. In case you hadn't noticed, The boy and I are two entirely different beings" He told him, Slamming his foot once more into the creatures chest, Caving in half of his ribs before turning and leaving "Kill him" He said again to the boy before vanishing into the woods.

[John King Fisher]

The Lizard Man didn't get far as he darted off in an attempt to escape, with Yoichi's speed taking him down faster than Fisher could see. The Lizard was dropped before him, on his hands and knees after being, very obviously, beaten and broken while he had been out of Fisher's sight. This truly was a fun person to team up with, and Fisher liked him just a little bit more with the order to kill the Lizardman right then and there. The Lizards protests fell on deaf ears from both parties, "You act as if I didn't plan to kill him anyways, say 'ahh' Reptile." Shoving the gun in the Lizardman's mouth, Fisher pulled the trigger as the bullet forced it's way through the back of his head. Julia always enjoyed up close and personal kills like this, odd seeing as how she was still a gun. Kicking the Lizards body over, before following after the man, Yoichi, again, hoping that the place wasn't already destroyed before he made it there. Such a minimal amount of bullets for a mission he expected to take so many more, but the money was still going to be put back into ammo anyways, so there was little difference between using them now or later. "Always in such a hurry."

[atrb=width, 440, true][atrb=border, 0, true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=style, padding: 15px;]•••••••yoichi sugiyama ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yoichi said nothing more for the remainder of the trip, They arrived soon at the encampment where a multitude of Lizardmen had swarmed around them almost immediately. "Apparently we were expected" He said, Though this didn't concern him in the least "You might wish to take cover somewhere" He told him, Making his way towards the center of the encampment to draw all of the Lizardmen there. His hands extended upwards, Inscribing two sets of runes into the air which soon latched onto the coat arms, A large gust of wind kicking up around him as two large wings sprouted from his back. The wings were basically runes magically held together to enable flight. He beat them down hard once before being launched into the air, The Lizardmen being dumb enough to rush towards the center. He raised his hands to the sides as magical circles formed at his hands and feet, A large circle encompassing the encampment formed and another just below where Yoichi was. "Be gone vile scum, Dark Écriture: Meteor" With that, A large black and purple meteor began to descend from the circle just below him, Upon leaving it only moments later, It began to hurtle towards the Magic Circle that was on the ground. A faint spike in Magic could be felt as it impacted, The sounds of the Lizardmen that had been caught in it's wake could be heard for miles around as they were not just killed, But turned to dust along with everything else except for the big baddie Lizardmen that had erected a barrier around himself at the last moment. The barrier just barely managed to block the meteor from hurting him. Yoichi slowly moved down towards the male, Staying in the air "Finish the mission, I will be resting" He ordered, Moving over to the trees and vanishing though he wasn't gone...Just hidden.

Another amazing display of power from his partner had destroyed all but a few of the Lizard men, only 3 remained that were quick enough to erect a quick barrier before the meteor of magic hit them. He had managed to take cover outside the encampment in some trees just before the spell was started, which he was certainly happy that he managed to do. Turning to dust did terrible things to one's health, and his poor guns would of suffered the same, depressing, fate as he. With a word from Yoichi, Fisher readied himself to strike down the remaining Lizardmen before they could regroup and launch a counter attack at him. While he was no where near the power of Yoichi, he still had some decent power of his own to dispatch the creatures.

"A little gift for me? Well if you insist, I'll handle these ones." With a his guns raised, Fisher fired a shot from Julia, letting it rebound off the head of one of the Lizards and into the neck of another, thanks to his Rubber Shot Magic. Regrettably the creature proved tougher than the others that he had taken out before, he began charging with his spear raised as the other two gave a battle cry. A quick speed shot from Jasmine struck the beast in the knee, stopping his movement as a bullet made it's way out of Julia's barrel and through the front of his neck. One down as the other two began their charge at him, eager to take a life in this attack, bringing a smile to Fisher's face.

As one of the Lizards got ahead of the other, Fisher narrowly dodged his spear's thrust, driving Julia into the creatures stomach and fire an explosive shot into it, destroying it's insides before letting it fall over on the ground. The Last Lizard was able to strike him with the side of his spear, sending Fisher to the ground before standing over him to stab down into his chest. Thankfully for Fisher, he had managed to hold onto his guns and fired a speed shot into the beasts elbow, forcing it to drop the weapon. Rolling up to his feet, Fisher fired one lasts Explosive shot into the creature's neck, exploding on impact and taking out the last of the Lizards that threatened Clover. "Bullets are money you know. It's a good thing this pays well or I'd of gone broke already. Was a pleasure doing business with you...wherever you went." Holstering his guns, John began making his way back to the village to collect his reward.
