***Synopsis***:

## Market Day

It was a sunny day in St. Micheal. Market day was here with stalls set up in the streets selling nearly everything and people were having fun and enjoying themselves. On the sidewalk watching a display of fire magic was none other than Gabe. As the street performer curled flowers out of flame and made fanciful images her eyes darted around looking for the people she was here to meet. They were late as usual.

The company Gabe was supposed to meet were late, much to Arya's annoyance as she aimed to change common conceptions between the Infantry Divison despite them being a first responder type Division. Sif and Volo dubbed heads a couple times, arguing before Arya grabbed both of them by their ears and dragged them all the way to Gabe.

"My deepest apologies, I wish we had been here sooner, its just these two idiots dont know how to stop fighting," Arya mentioned, with a forgiving smile across her face.

She rolled her eyes knowing about those two's shenanigans. "Don't sweat it sweetheart." She smiled a carefree smile. "Anyways where should we start? Anyone hungry?"

Meanwhile up on the buildings a shadow was lurking and watching, out of sight.

"Desperately," Sif and Volo pleaded.

"I wouldn't feed them, they're poor," Arya states. letting go of Sif and Volo.

"And?" she cracked a smile and walked onwards into the marketplace. "Come on I know a good place." she said in a daring tone.

The shadow followed.

Volo and Sif gave chase, wanting some good food. While Arya calmly followed.

"This'll be fun," Arya mutters.

She keeps going until she turns into an alleyway, knocking on one of the doors in it. The sign above the door says in neatly rendered letters *'The Rabid Devil'.* "Here it is sweethearts!"

Arya looked confused on why a place is called "Devil", Captain Lyu tells her all the time that Devils are evil, but whatever. Volo and Sif walk in calmly with Arya following behind.

The place inside is small but well lit with tables dotting the place. There are five blue fires burning with stewpots hanging over them and an old lady who is adding spices into one of the pots from a bandolier filled up with all sorts of ingredients. She looks over and smiles as they walk in. Gabe walks up to her.

"Hi old lady." she said in a slightly respectful manner. "Four bowls please." the lady holds out her hand and Gabe took out some money and gave it to her. The old lady put the money in one of the pockets of her shawl and walked into a back room. When she came out she has four bowls in hand. Gabe takes one.

Volo and Sif sat down at the front counter and gobbled down the food quickly. Arya slowly eats her bowl, respectfully.

"Pigs..." Arya mutters.

Gabe ladled some soup into her bowl before eating it pretty quickly. She grins at Arya and winks. "Come on have some fun!"

Arya was a bit shocked at Gabe's responce to have fun.

"I wouldn't even try to make her smile, Arya's hard headed and cold," Volo mentioned.

"Not in a million years will she 'have fun', she'll just complain about us," Sif remarked.

"I do not!" Arya objects.

"Liar!" Volo and Sif countered.

"You just did." Gabe said. "Anyways after this want to see what they're selling in the market stalls? Heard some magic item vendors were coming around."

"Not like there's gonna be something good at those stalls, we can get better stuff from raiding the Temples Treasury," Sif mentions.

"Sif, shut up." Volo said, elbowing sif in the chest.

"Are you two ***still*** doing that?" Arya questions.

Gabe chuckled. “Seems fun. Maybe we can do it on the way out. What do you think sweetheart?” She directed the last sentence towards Arya.

Arya just finished her food and was flustered when Gabe called her sweetheart, "Uhm... Its good, how was yours?"

Sif and Volo laughed to themselves, trying not to incure the rath of Arya.

"Pretty good. Old lady here used to be a magic knight. Danu knew her." She stood up and walked towards the door, winking at Arya.

"I'm going to beat both of you," Arya stated, walking towards Gabe with the boys following behind.

"Yes ma'am." Volo remarked.

Gabe walked out of the restaurant into the alleyway, chuckling at the shenanigans.

As Gabe walked out into the street the shadow on the rooftops followed pulling out something. They were still hidden albeit not as well as before.

Arya looked around, sending some odd pressure in the air. "What the hell?-"

Volo and Sif snapped out of their hysterics and looked confused.

The figure threw the object onto the ground in front of the four from the building. It looked like an odd object that had been whimsically painted to look like a rabbit. It was making an odd ticking sound.

Gabe’s eyes widened at it with her breaking out into a sprint to get away. “Guys RUN!!”

Sif and Volo combined their magic to enclose the... bomb? Trapping it into a pretty thick piece of stone before sending it back, but it exploded violently.

"Boys, get back!"

It exploded bursting through the stone and hitting a market stall causing said stall to explode as the owner ducked for cover.

Gabe got into a fighting stance, her grimoire coming out as she looked around.

The figure came out into the sunlight revealing herself to be a girl who looked slightly younger then then with blue braids and an assortment of weapons. Spite pulled a weapon out, loading her gun before firing a spray of bullets.

Sif and Volo defended themselves with Wind and Earth respetfully. Arya pulled out her paintbrush from her grimoire and a pallet of colours. Throwing up a lightning rod for Volo to throw.

People in the marketplace started running or ducking for cover, shouts filling the air.

Gabe ducked behind the remnants of the market stall before running towards the building Spite was on planning to climb up there. “Arya give me a boost!”

With an unhinged smile Spite started shooting yet again this time aiming at Arya. Strangely she gave off no magic signature. “Love your art. What’dya think of mine!”

"I hate it!" Arya shouts, summoning clouds for Gabe to run on.

The boys doubled off eachother, climbing the building in seconds using eachothers magic as bases and platforms quickly. With Volo throwing his lightning rod, amplifiying the power with his magic. Sif used his magic to make a brick wall behind Spite so she can't run away.

Gabe took off on the clouds, running up on them as she used her Berserk Magic to enhance herself.

As Spite saw the three people go towards her she laughed manically and pulled out a glass bottle with a fuse on it. “You Obsidian Recondition Force guys like helping civilians right?” She lit the fuse. “As long as they’re the right type of civilian.” Her face soured and she dropped the Molotov.

The fuse was lit and as it impacted on a market stall it was set on fire, with the fire spreading quickly.

"I'll get the Civilains to safety, just deal with her!" Arya shouts, summoning a massive cloud above the people and moving people away from the burning cloud.

The lightning rod exploded right infront of Spite, causing a massive eletrical field that shocked anybody that went straight for it. Except of course, Volo since he just moves the field of electricity into his palms and fights head on.

Gabe had to dodge it, not being able to attack due to her momentum being destroyed.

As the electricity started she moved back, dropping the gun before drawing a pistol and taking potshots at Volo. In her other hand however she took out a white powdery ball and threw it at the ground. Smoke started spewing out of it and she took the opportunity to start running trying to run over to Arya.

Sif slammed down infront of Spite. Summoning a large spear to strike down Spite and keep her away from Arya. Volo appeared quickly with a sword summoned from condenced wind. Swinging at Spite from behind. These two... they were so synchronized!

Gabe joined the group attacking Spite, but as she saw her face she stopped and stared eyes wide with surprise. “Don’t attack!” She yelled at Sif and Volo.

Meanwhile Spite saw Gabe and stopped as well smiling a mirthful smile.

Sif and Volo slammed their feet on the ground and pushed backwards. Aiming their weapons at Spite.

Gabe tried to jump in and stop them. Meanwhile Spite pulled the pin on one of her grenades this one painted like a bunny and threw it at the duo, starting to run.

Sif knocked the grenade up, then Volo lobbed it forward. Knocking it straight into the back of Spite, but it exploded only a foot away from the two. Oh boy...

Arya had gotten most of the civilians away, this allowed her to use her painting magic and send a blast of wind to stop Spite.

Gabe saw the grenade and covered her body with Berserk Magic before shielding Spite from the blast. It hurt her but she was willing to take it. "Don't attack!"

As this happened Spite ducked out of the way and stared at Gabe. "Are you real?" Her face was sorrowful but still hopeful in a way.
