Nina dodged another laser. Her sand was unable to stop the beam, it always kept getting penetrated. "Hmph." Nina scoffs, wiping out a few bandits near her. Spinning the sand around her, "Sandstorm!" She chants, whipping sand around the area and wiping out the remaining bandits and blasting the man who stood in her way.

Having some sand form into another spear, she confidently looked at her opponent. "I see how it is," He giggles grabbing out a jagged globe. The globe quickly lights up and lasers sprout in all directions. The man laughs as he wildly swings the globe around making lasers fly dazzlingly at random. Nina dodged one, but one had skimmed her arm causing immediate pain.

She refused to let out a yelp. "Sand exsisto existo quod fio meus minion , pugna praeter mihi!" She chants as sand from under the mans feet begin to form into a huge head with arms and lock him into place.

"I won't lose!" Nina reverts back to original self. "I-I'm sorry... if I hurt you... but... here I-I go...! Sand intorqueo quod vultus quod attero meus hostilis!" She shouts as she channels all her magic into the attack and blasts him away breaking through the wall and sending him flying back out to the mountains.

"W-we done it..." Nina smiles gratefully as she hears an explosion in the room ahead. "R-Right... a-are you still tired? Or s-shall I take over...?" Nina blushes. She didn't want to fight. It wasn't in her means to fight. Her eyes go back into the cold stare as usual.

"I will take over," She absorbs all the sand back into her artifact again and heads onto the next area.

"Will!!" Joseph screamed as he ran over to where he was, when all of a sudden he couldn't move his right leg. It was like it was stuck to the floor, but he could still feel his leg and the ground was normal. When he looked over to the three in the middle the white girl was looking intensly at Josephs leg and chanting a spell. Then Joseph noticed the well dressed guy star chanting a spell as he threw a fireball at Joseph, "Orbis terrarum est meus domus mos servo mihi ex vulnero!" A wall of earth came between Joseph and the fireball and fireball exploded the wall sending Joseph flying and hitting the wall of the room. "Ok, that one hurt"

William's skin was burnt. The flames must be equal to his to be able to stop him from being hit by the flames. He forced himself from the cold steel ground and glared. Looking at the girl, she finished her chanting. "Watch out, Joseph!" He alarms him as bones begin to morph from the ground and in the form of ribs come crashing down to Joesph trying to impale him to the floor.

The big bad boss didn't seem to move. "We have to end... this quickly!!" William shouts, his gauntlets striking with lightning as he attempts to electrocute the man using fire magic. As he punches the ground, the lightning travels towards the man only for it to get cut off by a sword created out of fire. An explosion appears from behind William, however he skillfully avoided it this time.

"Damn...!" He grits his teeth jumping onto a wall awaiting for his next move.

Nina rested on the wall as she ripped off sleeve and wrapped it carefully around her wound. She could hear the battle raging on and her allies shouting. It didn't seem good. She felt slightly drowsy, too. "Move, move..." She forces herself up applying pressure on her wound only to collapse again. The lasers must have absorbed some of her magic or something, because she suddenly felt tired.

Resting on the wall, she hoped for her allies victory.

Joseph had been trapped, a rib cage that came flying at him was impaled to the ground next to him, immobilizing Joseph. Joseph tried to lift the rib cage off him but the bones were to strong. "Orbis terrarum est meus domus mos servo mihi ex vulnero!" Two small earth wall came up from both sides of Joseph lifting the rib cage as he was able to slide under it and get up.

Right now the only thing Joseph thought could work was concentrating on one bad guy at a time, but for it to work he and William had to work perfectly, and this had to be done fast since Joseph was running out of energy. Joseph decided to first take out the fire guy whom William was fighting, though this would leave Joseph wide open but it might be their only way. "Rumpus orbis terrarum subter supter nostrum pluma" a hole 15 meters down was created beneath the fire bandit trapping him in it, "Finish him Will!!!" Joseph screamed to him.

At the moment he finished that short sentence a bone came flying at him with end as sharp as knife stabbing Joseph in the left leg, "AARGHH!!!" Joseph said in pain as he fell down grabbing his leg.

Joseph was having a hard time too, as William could see. As Joseph had got the weaker explosion magic guy into the hole, William nods. "Right, here I come... Molten magma attero ferrum parietis pro nos! Magma Fist!" William growls as magma erupts around his hand violently, blazing, scorching heat emitting into the air. Delivering a powerful vertical swing he punches the sides of the holes creating it to cave in. "Olympus flamma burst super meus foes!" William continues as a massive stream of flames bursts into the whole potentially knocking him out or even causing him to succumb.

At least, that's what William's thought was until a huge eruption of fire and lava burst out of the hole and the man soon arises. He was much more intimidating as if he had a spike in his magical output. He was flying-- wings created out of pure blazing heat and fire surrounded him forming the figure of a single possibility: A phoenix.

Nina got up from her resting position and seemed to have closed off her wound; well at least wrapped all her wounds up and fixed up her bruises and scratches. "Alright, time to fight again." She picks up her spear and heads to the battlefield. There were three enemies. All with intentionally high magical power. The supposed boss was the deadliest.

"Sand intorqueo quod vultus quod attero meus hostilis!" Nina quickly chants shooting the sandstorm created with the sand from her artifact launching the storm at the girl with white hair. Her magic emitted a troublesome presence. The man who blew out used a unique fire magic too. If these guys ended up taking a different path, they truly would have become famous magicians.

Joseph was in a bad situation as he was on the ground with a bone, not his bone, sticking out of his leg while the the white hair girl was fine and the leader had yet to move. Joseph was a bit in shock when he saw the fire guy able to withstand Williams attack and came out looking like a badass. Thankfully Nina had reached the battle now and was able to distract the white hair girl. Joseph was able to get the bone out of his leg as he took his dagger and cuts off a piece of his shirt to wrap his wound in it, in order to stop the bleeding. He didn't have time to stay in the ground like that, he had to help the other two. Nina seemed to be a lot more hurt compared to William, after her fight with the other boss. William was most likely gonna give Joseph some crap about it later but he had to help Nina first, even if she didn't like.

"Petracious Oblintus! Rumpus orbis terrarum subter supter nostrum pluma!"
A hole 15 meters deep was created beneath the white girl. Joseph was gonna try the same strategy he did with Will(which failed) and trap the white girl so that Nina could deal a heavy blow. Joseph just hoped that this time it would work.

Nina noticed Joseph and William were having an increasingly hard time. Seeing him attempt a sort of plan, she glanced over to him quickly and aiming her spear. She chants fast to initiate a quick spell in the moment, "Locos Umbrae Regnans Scáthach! In Manum Meum Dedo Iaculum Daemonium Cum Spinis Triginta! Arenae Fulgoris!" She summons a big number of sand spears fly downwards towards the pit hole. The spell itself wasn't offensively strong, but it should be able to trap a person easily with the spears of sand.

As she finished the spell, she twitched and fell to her knee. She was using way too much magical energy.

William was tackled to the ground in a blast of flames by the phoenix guy. He had to do something, these flames were unable to be controlled by Will suggesting a superiority in fire magic. William surged ki through his body having a blasting punch to the mans ribs as he backs off.

"You guys are weak." The man says at William, Joseph and Nina. He points to the battle the two are in, as Joseph creates a hole and Nina summons sand spears to crash into the girl as she falls in the hole. However, the first thing William noticed was Joseph's leg impaled and Nina's fatigue more than obvious, with minor wounds from her other fight.

Not only that, a massive castle of bones quickly explode from the hole as if it was a tidal wave of bones. However, the extending soon stops and the girls seems to merge from the bones out of the hole, standing back on her two feet as silent as ever. The girl skips over to the man sitting down and the guy with flames surrounding his body retreats back to his boss too.

The three stare down William, Joseph and Nina as Will rushes back to Nina and Joseph to see if they can still fight. "Brats, how about we do a three versus three?" The boss grins, groggily standing up and a small, patterned knife with a golden hilt appears out of nowhere. This multiplies to at least twenty of them floating around the boss.

Joseph was hurting a lot with the wound he had on his leg but for the moment he was able to stand. He knew that all 3 of them were in a really bad position. It looked like they hadn't even scratched those 2 followers, and now to make it worse the leader was going to step in to make it 3 vs 3, this did not look good. "Well sorry, but I don't always fight fair." Joseph said directed to the leader. "Petracious Oblintus! Rumpus orbis terrarum subter supter nostrum pluma!" Joseph started making holes above in the ceiling making the rock ceiling start to fall on the 3 enemies. This was definitely not the safest plan, but Joseph couldn't think of another way, he had to really concentrate so that the ceiling above him, William and Nina did not fall aswell.

William sighed at Joseph. A dangerous plan right off the bat. The three enemies quickly put up defences, but that gave William a chance to aim a brutal and devastating attack. "Omne Flammans Flamma Purgatus, Domine Extinctionis et Signum Regenerationis, in Mea Manu Ens Inimicum Edat! Flagrantia Rubicans Quinculmen!" William chants as a massive stream of flames blast forward easily blasting at them. It would unlikely defeat any of them, but it was apparent that Will's group needed more teamwork to win this.

As William thought, the flames were negated by the phoenix flames that the man created. The phoenix guy was quickly enraged as he spread his wings and flew fast forward towards the trio. "Alright...! Lightning Roar!" William shouts as the phoenix guy had to skillfully avoid the dragon head of lightning. At the same time, he avoided the falling rocks. This was able to distract him long enough.

"Go! Joseph! Nina! You're strongest attacks!" William orders. A rather barbaric plan, but what else would you expect from Will?

Damn! They were attacking the boss! "This is what I get for napping on the job." Kyoisshi thought to himself.

Kyoisshi had been slacking and ignoring orders like usual. He went to his secret area in the hideout to sleep for a bit, and so he missed most of the carnage." Fuck! if they kill him, how will I get paid?!" He decided to wait, and plan his next move.

"Alright... time to destroy him!" Nina forms her artifact back to its original spear as it slowly disintegrates into sand once again. "Sand exsisto existo quod fio meus minion , pugna praeter mihi!" She shouts as the sand accumulates above the man, shaped as a massive, huge, horrific sand monster to slam down at the man. Nina quickly attempted to crush him in her wave of sand.

It was a chance they all needed to take out this first guy. Joseph had to put a stop in his crumbling spell to concentrate on the phoenix guy, the ceiling stopped shaking and only a few rock remained falling. "Vultus of nex ut punctum meus hostilis!" 5 stone spears formed above the phoenix guy. The stones spears were thrown shot down toward the phoenix guy hopefully impaling him and making him unable to dodge being crushed by the sand monster.

Nina's monster collapses on the man. She wouldn't let her attack end, she had to defeat him now. "Locos Umbrae Regnans Scáthach! In Manum Meum Dedo Iaculum Daemonium Cum Spinis Triginta! Arenae Fulgoris!" She chants as spears hail down at the man, intending to trap him into place. Collecting sand in the air, she has it once again pound down on him.

There was no doubt about it. That asshole was gonna be dead. However, Kyoisshi had to be paid. Well, he knew where the secret storage room was, and the leader couldn't use it now. Kyoisshi maliciously grinned to himself and ran off in the opposite direction of the brawl, if it could be called that.

On the way to the storage room, he had been stopped by two of his former colleagues. Ugly brutes, they were. "Ugh, Kyoisshi, you bastard! Slacking off again! And I see you're on your way to the secret storage room! Well, well, well, I don't think you'll be seeing that any time soon. You always pissed me off, with your arrogant asshole demeanor and escaping punishment when you didn't do shit! Well, it all changes now!!!" The bulky man lunged at Kyoisshi with his scimitar.

"Listen bitch, outta the way. I don't got time for assholes like you." Effortlessly dodging the idiot, Kyoisshi unleashed one of his spells. "Psycho Sword!" a long, thin blade of energy was created, which Kyoisshi seized, and plunged into the man's heart. He died instantly.

"Oh, so you have spells! No one's ever seen you in action, so no one would know. This might actually be fun!" the guy smiled a crazy smile, obviously he's been waiting to kill Kyoisshi for some time now.

This man, he wouldn't be as easy as the other to kill.

William grins as spears of stone and sand soon subdue the man consumed by his own flames. "We got 'im!" William alerts everyone else as bone stalagmites burst out of the ground under him. "Shundo!" William shouts as he backs up quickly and hastily. The small bone stalagmites cut his arms and legs pretty badly. Looking over at the Phoenix guy, his flames dissipated, so it could be assumed he was defeated. All that was left was the weird girl with white hair and the leader.

"Let's take down the girl while the leader is still underestimating us." William whispers as the man just laughs at his fallen companion. The leader seemed to be boasting and blatantly showing off his prowess, not concerned that he will lose at all.

This time, Nina took the initiation instead of acting on the defensive the whole time. Turning her sand monster she created into sand, a spiral of sand begins to form. "I'll go first!" Nina shouts, as it sand forms around her. "Sand intorqueo quod vultus quod attero meus hostilis!! Sandstorm!!" She growls, as a tornado of sand blasts forward at the girl. Knowing her strong defenses, the sand wouldn't make it over to her... but, that's where her allies come in.

"William, continue the attack!" Nina shouts over to him. He had a barrier breaker spell and it'd hopefully obliterate the defenses. "Joseph, support him!" Nina forewarns Joseph. This is because any flying projectiles sent towards William would need to be defended; and hopefully by Joseph.

"Right...!" William nods at Nina as he blasts forward. "Molten magma attero ferrum parietis pro nos!" William shouts as magma slowly forms around his right hand and arm. As he shundos forward, "Omne Flammans Flamma Purgatus, Domine Extinctionis et Signum Regenerationis, in Mea Manu Ens Inimicum Edat! Flagrantia Rubicans Quinculmen!" William shouts as flames blast forward and split into five different spirals to consume the girl in flames, which she would rather likely defend against, opening an opportunity for William to attack. William could see projectiles being sent flying at him, "Joseph! Hit 'em down!" He commands rather confidently.

"Petracious Oblintus! Orbis terrarum est meus domus mos servo mihi ex vulnero!" Two walls of earth formed infront of William blocking the projectiles heading toward him. Joseph noticed 2 more projectiles coming from above "Vultus of nex ut punctum meus hostilis!" Joseph summoned 2 earth spears and threw them at the incoming projectiles destroying them in the process, "Now's your chance Will!!"

"Alright!!" William smiles as he continues with another incantation. "Flamma ex divum, surculus procul meus hostilis!" William finishes as a cloud forms above the flames consuming her and blast down at her. "Et Molten magma attero ferrum parietis pro nos!" He continues as magma forms around his hand and he leaps into the flames and slams his fist against the shield form of bones, breaking through it and slamming his fist into her stomach sending her flying backwards- knocking her out.

Sighing of relief, there was only one enemy left. Well, an enemy of a big deal. Looking up at him, he smiles as he gets up slowly. William couldn't tell if he was surprised at his allies defeat, sad or even happy for it. In a single second he disappeared and appeared behind Nina aiming to stab her with his sword. The man himself was wearing heavy armour and his sword looked as if it weighed numerous kilograms. That speed should be impossible, even with a shundo. "T-teleporation!?" William questions.

The man teleported behind Nina, which immediately alarmed her. As he aimed to stab her, Nina quickly parried the attack with her spear and tried to back off, but the man already anticipated such a move and swung his sword down vertically. Her serious side easily predicted this was the case, but the massive broadsword easily smashed through her spear. "No...!" Nina shouts as she spins to the side to try and avoid it. Fortunately she did, however the impact as the sword smashed against the ground throwing massive debris all over the place, as well as sending Nina flying.

She was knocked unconscious. "Ngh..." She moves in pain and agony, even whilst not conscious.

"Shit! Nina...!" William quickly initiates a shundo and blasts his way towards the man, aiming a wild hook whilst his arm was set ablaze. "Goooooooo!!" William roars, growling loudly as the man teleports and seemingly avoids it with ease. The leader of the bandits kicks William in the back of the knee, sharp and fast. A snapping sound burst in his leg as William falls to the ground in pain and agony. His leg was completely snapped in half.

Even with the help of the magic that keeps and raises a normal persons defense and vitality immensely, it proved futile against this mans roar power. The man then turns to Joseph. Ready to kill.

Joseph tried to react to what was going on as he saw the leader teleport behind Nina and smash the ground sending Nina flying. Joseph knew William would most likely attack the leader and he could probably hold him off for a little while, so Joseph started walking quickly to Nina in one leg while dragging his injured leg. But he stopped in surprise when he heard the leader break Williams leg, "Will-" Joseph didn't finish his sentence as the leader suddenly appeared in-front of him.

"You can die first" The leader said with a smile on his face as he stabbed Joseph on his left side puncturing his lung. Joseph did not feel the pain in the moment, he was going through shock. He could feel blood flowing out of his chest and his vision began to blur. At that moment Joseph's life flashed before his eyes as he could see the faces of his friends and adventures, and then he saw the image of the man who raised him, Jose, and he spoke one last words to Joseph.

"Remember to protect what is important to you" Joseph knew what was important for him, it was then one thing he had in his adventures, his comrades. And right know he had to protect his comrades William and Nina, even if it cost his life. Waking up from that daze state Joseph could feel the leader was going to retreat the sword from his chest and Joseph quickly grabbed the leaders arm with his right hand, holding the leaders arm and sword to his chest, forcing more pain unto himself.

"You can die second. Vultus of nex ut punctum meus hostilis!" Two small but hard stone spears formed in-front of Joseph and were shot down impaling the leaders foot. Joseph thought that he might not be able to teleport with pain running through his bodies.

WILLIAM!!! NINA!!! GET THE FUCK UP ALREADY AND FINISH THIS BASTARD!!!! YOU WONT GET ANOTHER CHANCE YOU WEAK BASTARDS!!!! This was completely out of character for Joseph but this words might just get Nina and William back on their feet seeing as they thinks they are so strong. Their only chance was to attack the leader and Joseph as-well.
