Erio looked at the slightly older girl and narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing here?" His only answer was the black armored person moving towards him. Running forward, he swung his spear right at the black being and could only stare as a spike extended from its arm and drove into his blade. "Caro, stop her!"
Nodding, Caro looked at the girl, who calmly stared back at her. "Please, who are you? At least tell me that much."
The purple haired girl said nothing and held up her hand and Caro gasped as a large sphere of fire appeared in her hand. "...A fireball?"
When the fireball seemed to start to shrink and smaller fireballs erupted from it, Caro let out a small yelp as she was attacked with something similar to a Burst Brondo. Her barrier was able to hold up against it easily enough, thankfully. "Fried! Blast Flare!"
A circle appeared under her as a stream of magic went to her Dragon. Fried's eyes flashed before he launched a powerful fireball at the other summoner.
Caro felt her stomach drop as the other girl easily blocked it. "That..."
The girl pointed a finger at her and a purple blast rushed at Caro, overwhelming her barrier and pushing her and her Dragon away from the truck.
"Caro!" Erio cried out, catching the girl's attention. Before she could say or do anything, he snapped a wind spell out that caught the girl by surprise, sending her flying off of the truck and towards the water. However, as Erio turned to look at the summon, he recieved a kick to the jaw so strong that his teeth rattled.
Garyuu swung his fist forward, fully intending to take Erio down in one strike, but stared as the boy got his hands up and blocked the strike with a quickly created barrier. He zipped backwards before rushing to the side and grabbing his mistress, who was hovering just above the water. "I am fine, Garyuu." Lutecia gave him a pat on the head. "Thank you." She looked up and her pupils shrank. "Watch out."
Garyuu zipped to the side as a white beam bisected where he had been just a moment ago. Quickly snapping to the side, he tossed Lutecia up before charging down with a strong kick, forcing Erio to jump off of the semi truck to avoid getting his head knocked off. Getting into a crouch, he shot forward and slammed his fist into the side of the truck.
"Listen! I don't want to hurt..." Erio was forced to twist out of the way as Garyuu tried to take his head off, "okay! I'm sorry for shooting at your mistress! Can you calm down!?"
Above them, Lutecia slowly floated downwards, though, anyone who bothered to look up would have had a good look at her underwear. "Garyuu..." She whispered softly and looked at Caro who was riding on the Dragon's back. Holding her hand out, she shot several purple beams at Caro and Fried, the latter flying up to avoid the shots. "I wonder if Otto will be mad for me copying her?" True, it wasn't the same as the cyborg's ability, but it was as close as Lutecia could get on her own.
Caro stared as a purple sphere shot up at her and quickly encompassed her and Fried. "...Fried, Blast, AHHH!" The small summoner screamed out in pain as the sphere seemed to explode, energy lashing out at her from all angles to fast and hard for her to put up a barrier. "NNNNGAAAAAHHH!" Tears formed in her eyes as she and Fried screamed in pain from the bombarding energy. 'No more. No more. NO MORE!' She screamed to herself as tears fell out of her eyes.
Lutecia stared as the energy turned from purple to a light blue and the summoner girl was surrounded in a sphere of water. "...What is that?" It didn't feel like Mid or Belkan, or even Levi's magic. In fact, if Lutecia was to place it anywhere, it felt completely opposite of Levi's magic.
If only she knew what it was.
As Lutecia touched down softly by a tree, she gasped as Garyuu slammed into the ground next to her, a crackle of lightning covering his body while Erio flew up to meet Caro, who was slowly coming down to meet him.
Erio narrowed his eyes at the opposing summoner. "Caro," he whispered while holding Ragudo Mezzagis in front of him, "got any attack spells?"
"A few." Caro looked at him. "But I'm better with Fried..."
Erio grinned at that. "Well then, how about..." Before he could finish the sentence, a green light filled the air and forced him to look up as a large beam came crashing down at him. Swinging up his spear, he grunted as the energy of the beam was blocked by the spear.
"Erio-kun!" Caro gasped as she saw him being pushed through the roof of the semi-truck.
"Worry about yourself." Caro gasped as binds snapped around her and Fried, causing them to fall to the ground. Turning her head, she stared as a brown haired girl with a red blade in each hand looked at her. "Just give us the contents of the truck, and we'll be on our way."
Erio grunted and swung his weapon down, causing the energy to dissipate fully. Standing in front of him was a short, boyish-looking person with spiky brown hair, green eyes and was wearing a skin-tight black outfit. "You're outnumbered."
Erio narrowed her eyes and grit his teeth. This didn't look good.
Meanwhile...
Due grimaced as she blocked a kick, sending her flying back into one of the semi trucks. "Nnngh... Dammit."
"You're not much of a fighter, huh?" Quint looked at the shorter blonde, who looked at her and smirked.
"I'm a spy and assassin, I'd get into places that people shouldn't get into, get information any way possible, and I mean any way I could, torture, friendship, even sleeping with the target, whatever it takes to get information, and then, when I got what I needed, I eliminated the target." Due smirked at Quint. "So, yeah, I'm not much of a fighter, I'm better at killing people when they least expect it."
"If you're not much of a fighter, turn into someone who is!"
Due grimaced as she heard Agito's voice in her head. "Even if I do that, my skill level doesn't increase just because I turn into someone who can fight."
Quint looked at Due. "So, tell me, what does Jail want with these items?" Seeing Due narrow her eyes, Quint nodded and adjusted her body "He wants them, what for, and why are you using Lutecia for it?"
"Whatever Jail wants with them isn't my concern," Due snorted as she swung her arm up, a wave of flames rushing out towards the other woman, "however, I will not let you take Lutecia for your own deeds."
Quint narrowed her eyes at the blonde. "Then tell me what you want with my god child. If anything, you should give her to me so we can help her."
Due hesitated. Giving Lutecia to a Bureau member would be a way to get her away from Quattro, but at the same time...
The image of Lutecia's naked mother floating in a tube, unknowing of everything that was going on around her.
"As much as I'd like to let you have her, there's someone else that I need to answer to, and you aren't her."
Quint's pupils shrank. "...You... Are you talking about Megane?" That was too much to hope for, but it was the first thing that came to her mind.
Due slammed her palm down onto the sidewalk and a layer of smoke appeared between her and Quint. "Even if I was, that isn't for you to worry about right now."
Quint covered her eyes and frowned softly. "Where did you go?" Thrusting her palm out, she nearly cursed as the quick burst of wind was enough to clear the smoke away, but not fast enough to keep her opponent from escaping.
She turned to where Erio, Caro and Lutecia were and blinked as two new opponents appeared near Lutecia, both were black body outfits, one looked almost like a boy with short, spiky brown hair and a petite frame who stood in front of Erio, while the other one was a girl with long brown hair and she held a blade in each hand and was pointing them at Caro.
"Well, this can't be good." Quint muttered to herself.
