Edoras Field Trip

Oberon saw Umi pass him by, so he followed after him. Doing so, he tripped over the guard in front of him, who was still hunched over in excruciating pain and oblivious to everything else. Getting up, he continued and managed to find his way to the execution stand and into the culvert.

"Yes we do, but how? It seems like the people here can't use magic at all," Oberon said, watching out for more solders just in case.

Shadiic jumped in after them and all four mages ran quickly trying to lose their pursuers. After some time finding a place to hide, they decided their plan of action.

So.... We have a lot of things we have to deal with.... First getting our magic back, second trying to find out what's with the anima and third get back home. With a sigh they began moving out of the culverts trying to think of ways to solve these questions.

(Im just gonna kill off Billions, since he just end up one of our underdeveloped characters like always)

Umi: Oh no.... Billions got executed and we forgot to help him... anyways, lets try and look for clues in town.

Umi easily forgot the death of Billions and went on to look for an idea of how to get everyone out of this awful situation

Since Oberon never really noticed Billions, he didn't even notice his death nor his subsequent absence. He followed Umi toward town, where they hopefully wouldn't be recognized by any soldiers who had been at the execution.

The group finally made their way out of the culverts and emerged close to a village near the kingdom. There was a lot of gossip relating to their escape and the kingdom was in disarray looking for them. It seemed that the knights haven't started their search outside the city walls into neighbouring villages. Quickly the mages found an inn and changed out of their clothes and put on disguises before they went into town.

Shadiic had trouble keeping his wig on as it kept falling off. Umi why did you give me this thing!? It's way to big and where did you get it in the first place? Off the marquis' head cos he's the only person rich and fat enough to have something like this.

Umi: Well, its better than what im wearing, I look like a beggar..

Umi was wearing clothes of all different shapes and sizes, which gave him the awkward appearance of a homeless man unable to buy good clothes. Umi felt a little self-consious at all the people staring at him. Looking around for a place to hide in, he scanned the streets block to block until he found a seedy bar tucked behind a few streets and houses.

Umi: I like this place, it seems like we would fit in with these people...

Shadiic: Good thinking, the sooner we fit in the less chance of people remembering that we went through here.

Running quickly into the bar, the group sat down. Being as a bar, there was a lot of talk about the recent events that had taken in the capital. A few were quite anxious as those mages could have been turned into lacryma, but with the kingdom now implementing code ETD, they had no use for mages other than experiments and poachers were hunting the few remaining pockets of Exceed remenants. The desire for black market lacryma dropped as it had become more accesible, but it will rise again when the exceeds have been wiped out.


One topic was quite interesting as there was a rumour about some medicine that was supposidly give you the ability to use magic. One person shouted that it was a load of bull. Apparently this person had made a few enemies with his promises and they went into hiding.

Umi: Lets find weapons while were here

Umi went across the bar and talked to the bartender, picking him up and shaking him down for information, the bartender divulged a secret meeting place for people creating "Magic" in the backroom of the Bar.

Umi: I think we need to find some useful weapons do defend ourselves..

Shadiic: Well since we don't have any money, we better get good weapons so we can fight our way out of here and quickly disappear.

The bartender barked at one of the waitresses to show us to the room clearly annoyed at how skilled Umi was getting that info out of him. The group then proceeded to the backroom where an array of items were held.

Umi entered the backroom, and said that his friends were cool and they just came for weapons, the girl in the corner was surrounded by boxes, possibly filled with weapons.

Shopkeeper: So gentleman, what kinda Magic are you looking for??

Umi: Well, do you have anything water-based?

The girl showed Umi a selection of water based weapons to one side. While he was making his selection, the girl asked Shadiic what he was looking for.

Shadiic: Can I get something that is earth related?

"Uh, you got anything light based or beam based?" Oberon said, following the other two into the room. He was led to a case of thin cylinders. He picked one up and pressed a button on the side. It elongated to form a staff with a large barrel on one end and a sphere on the other. The shopkeeper explained that the sphere collects light and focuses it and the cannon fires it out. The longer it stayed un-fired, the more powerful the blast. In order to fire it, all he had to do was pull the trigger on the gun-like grip on the side. In order to collapse it, he just had to turn the grip and it would return to the form of the cylinder.

(Want me to make yours? or you decide?)

Umi was looking over the weapons until he found the one he wanted, it was a simple rod no more than 4ft tall with a blue crystal at the top, picking it up, he tried it out.

Lady: good choice, that is the Zero Stream Staff its control anything that flows, but its incredibly unpredictable, but comes with only 50 uses. Might i suggest a backup? like this....

Shadiic picked out an item that looks like a ground marker. The shop keeper explained that to use it you plunge it into the ground and you control the area of earth around you. Whilst the group was making their selection a few large men entered the room and stood by the exit.

Umi: Who are those people? whatever lets try out our weapons then, Zero Stream!

Umi pointed his "magic" at the guys standing in front of the exit, rather than anything immediately happening, they felt the breeze change a little bit, before a turbulent gust picked up and blasted the guys against the wall.

Umi: Whoa, it controls wind too? how odd..

Uses: 49/50

Shadiic: Most likely people who make sure we pay. Well then lets go.

Stabbing the ground, Shadiic made the area around the girl and the two ruffians turn into sand and they sank quickly.

Shadiic: Running time now.

Jumping on the two ruffians heads, Shadiic made his way out of the room.

Uses: 49/50

Umi: From here on out, we'll need to conserve out "magic" uses, we only have 49 left..

Looking up at the skyline, Umi wondered what he was gonna do to get them out of this, the midday sky was blue just as blue as the other dimensions, and just as littered with airships floating about.

Umi: airships! thats it! we'll get in an airship and they'll take us to where we need to go.

Shadiic: Thats a great idea. So where are we going?

Shadiic just flatly stared at Umi waiting for a reply.

(Go on Negima...)

Umi: Well lets go highjack one, i think the airport is over here...

Walking across town to the airport, Umi found it was surrounded by soldiers, he guessed people werent allowed on them.

Umi: well looks like we gotta fight.

Shadiic: This is simple for the tool I have.

Plunging it once more into the ground, Shadiic changed the ground. As the soilders were advancing the ground gave way and they fell into a pit fall.

Shadiic: That used up more than one charge. I'll leave those inside the airship for you to deal with Umi.

The group then started to run inside where they encountered more soilders.

Uses 44/50

Umi: Lets hope this thing works. Zero Stream

Catching the draft as they opened the door, it blew a large gust of wind at the people, knocking them back, but not finishing them, Umi got up close and dealt a savage kick to each of the guards and threw them out of the airship

Umi: It seems i still have awesome physical skills

Running pass Umi as he savagely knocked out the guards, Shadiic made his way to the bridge.

Shadiic: Umm........

He flicked all the switches and pressed the button in an attempt to get the air ship up. After a while he managed to get the engines online when Umi and Oberon entered the bridge. Both of them had kicked the soilders off the ship and gathered intel whilst doing so.

Umi: Maybe we should head over to that gigantic crystal

Even from dozens of miles away, one could still see the giant lachryma crystal hovering above the royal palace.

Umi: Head over there..

"What would someone use a giant Lachryma for? All it'd be good for is soaking up massive amounts of magic..." Oberon thought aloud. He slammed the door shut as the two guards charged got up and tried to jump into the airship. Even though they tried to open the door, the ship took off without them, leaving the three Earth mages safe in their new ship.

Shadiic: Oberon can you keep watch, they are bound to follow us in the other airships behind us. Try to knock their engines out if you can.

Grabbing the wheel Shadiic controlled the ship and mark a course to the floating island.
