Private Finished Last Call In The City

Ain watched out of the corner of his eye as the girl had used some sort of runic magic to try to open the door, the girl was a mage of some sort and he only now noticed. He somehow didn't even consider the possibility and he was an Inquisitor, Ain truly had lost his touch. It took him a minute to get his hand off of his short sword under his cloak, he breathed then let it go.

The magic the girl had put on the door seemed to work for a second, but then the magic burst outward as if the magic wasn't the right method to open this particular lock - yet there was a sense that if the magic had been more powerful it might have worked.

He sighed, as he activated an ability he had called Mystic Investigation, the ability was something that only he could do among his elven bretheren and allowed him to see the invisible state of magic as well as magic objects within thirty feet of him. The first thing he noticed was the entire door had magic on it, the lock connected to the same magic circuit, and the cellphone was glowing with a faint magic as well.

Huh?

He was about to interfere with the girls attempt to open the door but he stopped for a moment, would she be able to do it on her own?

@Zora

Ain watched as the girl then tried something a bit different, the girl was pouring more magic energy into the same kind of runes she had previously used, wait that wasn't the proper way to open it; It was too late to do anything to stop it. As she pulled back he really didn't know exactly what would happened, surely the girl knew what she was doing, but he actually was a bit worried.

The magic sparked with fiery magic power unlike before, the door shocked as if trying to reject the magic that was used but the powers instead collided and the door began to shake violently. Um, what did she do, it was as if the magics were fighting against each other causing a destructive force, then after a minute of shaking it finally stopped - nothing for a good moment like it had failed again - but this time a shock came from the runic lock to the side of the door and their was a massive shock that pushed at both Ain and Zoraida, followed by a explosion of of arcane energy sending bits of debris that was loose in the alley to fly towards them.

As a trash can flew their way, Ain interceded infront of Zoraida and took the hit knocking him to his knees. Ouch, that wasn't how it was suppose to work, he chuckled quietly. For a moment there was silence as a creak could be heard from the door, and it fell from its hinges into the alleyway with a loud crash bringing up clouds of dust.

@Zora

Ain dusted his self off and stood up right up right, he sort of just stared at her judgmentally for a bit with his hands on his waist. It wasn't just seeing behind the door now, it was seeing what the door was protecting. As the dust settled he noticed something just beyond the doorway, he looked further as he stepped closer, and he noticed that at least six people were on the ground knocked out just inside. 'Uh, are they okay?' he thought to himself as he glanced back at Zoraida then back at the doorway.

He got closer and noticed that all of the people were cloaked figures with very human features, they appeared to be breathing which was a bit of a relief, but they were just a bit too close to the door on the other side when Zoraida used her magic on it. Before he could make a decision to leave before matters got worse, one of the men struggled to his feet, and looked into the alleyway at the two people, "Wha--We are under ATTACK!!" he yelled loudly as he ran back inside, completely in shock over the door being blown off.

This wasn't good, he looked back at the girl behind him, were they attacking a base now? That wasn't really the plan, he would probably leave now if the girl wants too, in fact, there was no way she would want to keep going right?

@Zora

Things were escalating rapidly, figuratively speaking they were in the eye of the storm and though he mostly ignored the people looking through windows when they arrived it now occurred to him that they may all be of the same group. Was all these old warehouses part of their base, or were they missing something.

Ain blinked slightly when Zoraida removed her high heels, and proposed that they make a run for it. Oh, her footwear were terrible for running in, why exactly would she wear such things if they were hard to move in? It then took him a bit to notice that she appeared a bit shorter without them, not that this was the best time for him to even be thinking about this.

The longer they didn't move, the more footsteps he could hear in the distance coming from all sides; they needed to move at once...

He moved next to Zoraida, as he caught the first glimpse of a cloaked figure rounding the corner into the beginning of the alleyway, the face poking out of the hood was lizard-like. The lizard-like man beared his teeth when he saw some people on the ground inside the door. "Who dares attack The Black Wings--" the lizard-like man extends his claws and looks at Ain then at Zoraida. "Huh, Zoraida Del Bosque of Woodland Imports!?" he seemed a bit nervious as he knew exactly who she was, as he fidgets backward, his eyes falling to the destroyed door in shock and a bit of fear. "You came pretty fast, I didn't think you would notice right away. I underestimated you... and your abilities." as the man spoke two other cloaked figures flank him and block the exit out of the alleyway. "That door was reinforced with the most expensive wards and runic magic, and you just destroyed it instantly. How powerful are you?!"

As the lizard man spoke, the sounds of more people could be heard in the distance, though still a ways off he was clearly buying time to box in Zoraida and Ain.

Ain knew that he could escape on his own just fine, but if he did that it would be at the cost of leaving the girl behind. He brought her into this, he would not leave her to her fate. It wasn't clear what he should do, behind them was the now opened door to their base, in front of them was three cloaked figures and more coming - he would leave the decision up to the girl and would help if she wanted to force her way through.

@Zora

As things started to get more serious, he noted the word of the girl he heard to be called Zoraida, his mouth opened slightly in surprise that she was refusing to leave him, a complete stranger that has only known her for no more than an hour. She explained that she could get away, but refused because she was not willing to leave him. It was certainly true that he would be fine, but for some reason the act of staying with him made him a bit happy.

A thunderous crackle could be heard in the sky, as darker clouds had started to cover over the days sunlight...

Ain smiled a bit at Zoraida as he pulled out his long bow, and nocked an arrow; he would need to be careful not to kill them within the city limits or he will have police after him again but he still would shoot them in the arms or legs just fine. Readying his bow to fire, he aimed at the lizard man.

The lizard man shocked by the fact Ain pulled out a weapon, pulled out his cellphone, the other two doing the same for some unknown reason. "OPEN, " he said as the cellphone sparked with magic power like that of a magic wand, the other two following suit repeating the same word, "OPEN." The lizard man hesitated a bit, before firing off a firebolt at Ain's feet. "I don't know who you are, but The Black Wing's will crush you if you don't stand down. So, what do you say? Stand down please."

Without really listening to what they had to say further, Ain fired an arrow at the lizard man and grazed his hand causing him to drop his cellphone. At that moment, the fighting had started and the other two Black Wing members fired off magic at Ain with incredible casting speed, the one on the left shot out a large icicle spear that threatened to pierce him, the one on the right fired a firebolt just like the lizard man.

Ain dodged quickly to the left to avoid the icicle spear and watched as it as it kept going and pierced right through the thick door that was on the ground, as if knowing where Ain was going to move the firebolt flew early and ignited him into a ball of fire as he was knocked back by the spell. Their magic was very basic yet it was more powerful than normal, he noted this fact, as he shook the flames off of him with his speed... still it burned him a little.

His eyes fell to the cellphones, were they instead magic tools disquised as cellphones, before he really had much time to think they were already firing off more magic, the lizard man rather than act without the cellphone - dived for it on the ground. Another icicle spear grazed past him, and this time he managed to push off the alleyway's wall to dodge the firebolt.

Just then, five more cloaked figures appeared behind the other three and pulled out their cellphones, "OPEN," each one said almost in unison. This was getting worse by the moment...
