(EVENT) The Annual Guildmaster's Meeting!

"I don't care about his intentions. I don't plan on having him arrested. Quit your stalling and tell me before I have to resort to plan B. And trust me Viola, you don't want me to do that" he said seriously, staring her down while ignoring Kyll. He only had one objective right now, and that was to find out who the leader of Nox Animus was. If he even got a notion that she would try to stall any further, he would just go and grab the nearest Rune Knight with his suspicions. She would no doubt have a guild tattoo somewhere on her body, and if they found that, she would have to deal with Sparrow. If that happened... well... she would definitely wish she was dead to say the least. "Now I'll ask again. Who is the leader of Nox Animus?" he said. There are only a select few it could be... if she doesn't tell me one of them, I'll have to follow through on my threats. "Trust me, you're better off telling me than dealing with Sparrow. I don't know if you remember, but I'm probably unnecessarily fair. I won't out you if you tell me all I ask. Just the name of your guildmaster. Please, humor a lunatic just this once. If not, well, I can't just let you go after threatening to turn you in can I? I won't give you a third chance"

Lance got up from the ground from the smash with a small smile "No problem man it was an accident." Lance then looked at Naziel as he squirt water into Rita's mouth with his eye brow raised. It look weird but he was oddly ok with it seeing as he was trying to become calm. Lance simply grabbed a bottle of the Ghost pepper sauce and shoved it into Naziel's mouth with a straightest face ever before hitting the bottom of it and making all the sauce in the whole bottle go down Naziel's throat. He then grabbed some Ghost peppers from the table and shoved five of them into Naziel's mouth then used his hands to try to force him to chew. He simply closed his eyes and gave Naziel a sweet smile before turning to Rita with a shrug "He started it." he said with a chuckle. He knew about Naziel's magic so he didn't worry all that much and he did it because of the fact that Naziel had water magic.

Lance stood in front of Rita now with a smile on his face as Lea came up behind him and pushed him into Rita "Kiss!" she yelled as Lance flew forward and locked lips with Rita for a second before breaking away and turning to Lea with a red face "L-Lea What the hell?!" he said as his face grew redder as he turned to Rita "I - I am sorry I didn't mean to-" he started before turning and sitting down at the table as he covered his face with his hands .

Lea stared down at Lance then back to Rita "Rita... I think I broke dad..." she muttered as she stared at Lance's blank yet embarrassed face that just looked forward while mumbling the words "Kiss" and "Rita" every few seconds.

Simon laughed at his guild members antics. Watching them struggle to- he wasn't even sure what they were supposed to be achieving but their failure to do so was incredibly entertaining. Then he noticed Rita trying to deal with super spicy food by drinking water. He jumped up and yelled at Naziel and Rita "Bakame! Water doesn't help! Water increases the tongue's sensitivities to tastes and flavors! It might seem to help at first but within a minute the burn will be back and worse then ever! Milk you need milk!" However Simon's out burst was too late, Rita was already royally screwed by Naziel's strange intervention. The phoenix mage face palmed and dropped back into his seat. He tried, no one can ever say he didn't. Now curious Simon grabbed a fork and stole a bit of Heero's chilli pepper sauce coated lamb meat. He ate the piece of meat and shivers went down his spine. Yikes that stuff has some kick, a normal person would be screaming like a baby right now. Much like Rita. Simon however was made of sterner stuff and instead only suffered extreme discomfort.

The phoenix slammed his hand on the table with his head hanging low. One could see he was biting his lip. That sauce was borderline a viable method of assassination. He gagged "That's ghost chilli pepper sauce. Aniki used to give it to me during training because he thought it would make me run faster. In reality it just damaged my taste buds." As he was talking smoke was coming out of his mouth when he noticed he sighed "Ugh I hate this stuff." He grabbed a near by pitcher and poured himself a glass of milk and chugged it quickly. Still in a great deal of pain Simon's face was slowly turning red, however it had subsided enough that he could tough it up and pretend he wasn't effected. Simon was very good at pretending.

Sephiria yawned as she approached the guild master’s meeting hall. It was a long and tiring journey here, and the poison dragon slayer just wanted to go back home and sleep the entire day away. However, she figured that her guild master and friends would all be here, so instead of staying at home alone brooding she decided to see what all the fuss was about. She might meet some of her friends from outside Eclipse Soul as well, so that was a bonus. Although she expected people like Aedre to stay far away from this, as she was a dark mage and they tended to not want attention like this entire event would bring. Plus, with the heavy rune knight influence around not many of the known darkies would be around anyway. Sephiria had on her usual outfit for this trek, although she was missing two key components. First was her Giant Odachi, which had been left behind as a precaution to anyone attempting to steal it. And the other was Nightwing, her trustworthy raven. He personally decided to stay away, preferring the quiet of the guild hall compared to the massive chaos that this meeting would bring. So the poison slayer was alone, and entered the hall after being checked by the Rune Knights.

Sephiria immediately spotted a familiar face, her friend Kyll. She was next to a commotion however, one that Sephiria would rather keep her distance from. Which was wise, all things considered. The poison dragon slayer instead walked around till she found a fairly empty table, which was surprising considering the number of people here, and sat alone. She did notice her friends Lance, Rita and the kid she knew as Agent Washington (Who was Simon), but decided that staying out of their mess was best for her too. Sephiria instead waited for her guild master to show up, simply so things could start to roll along.

‘I hope this won’t take all day. I need my sleep, and this is ruining it.’

From what it seemed The Water Dragon Slayer was not quick enough to aid her, The tall Lamia Scale wizard from earlier had given her a glass of water. Before she was able to take the glass from the wizard. Naziel had gone sprayed her with a massive blast of water. "W-Wait!!!!" She shouted. but it was too late. She flailed as she was 'hydrated' by Naziel's water that. By the time it had stooped Rita was drenched, And she felt a little bit better. She blinked and glared at Naziel "I asked for a drink not for a shower!!!" It was Lance who thought it would be funny after the fact to load all of the Ghost pepper sauce into Naziel, Rita stared slack jawed as Lance forced Naziel to down all of it. Things only got worse when Lea had pushed Lance into straight into her, Lips meeting for a split second. Lance's face went a bright red instantly as he pulled away and started spit out excuses. Rita's eyes became concealed by a comical shadow as the corner of her mouth twitched and her vein pulsed. Instantly, Rita threw a heavy punch his way. There was practically enough force in that throw to send Lance into orbit all while she yelled at the top of her lungs: "Lance- You idiot!!!"

Rita soon realized that It was Simon who was the only one thinking at the table when he shared his common knowledge that water would only make Rita's situation even more dire. Right on cue Rita had begun to cough again as the temperatures in her mouth were heightened. Some how Simon had gotten his hands on a pitcher of milk, Rita was quick to snag it away and down what was left not leaving a drop to spare Naziel.

“Yea, Ah reckon that those two should be getting here any minute now.” Chikane spoke while taking a glance at all of her guild members…...and mentally facepalming. They were literally causing such a ruckus that it was impossible to NOT notice them all. It was all in good natured fun, so nothing could go completely wrong. However, at the first notice of extreme activity the flame mage would immediately bring a halt to it. But for now she would let them interact with each other…..and in the case of Heero interact with the guild master who had left the stage. There seemed to be a growing commotion over there, but the flame mage knew her interference was most likely not going to be needed for some time. Chikane sighed, watching the entrance of a few other people before leaning back in her chair and looking back at Zuo Cii.

“Ah wonder what the other two are like. Have you ever met them Mastah Zuo Cii?” The Fairy Tail guild master was most curious about the two missing guild masters. She had heard rumors of Zeno, and had nearly seen Shuhei once before, but other than that she had no clue of either. The flame mage was indeed excited and nervous to meet them all. She would just sit back and let all the fireworks fly.

The serious stuff could wait for later.

Kihia sighed as he saw the ruckus unfold in front of him, he left the glass of water on table 15 and walked back over to Icarus and picked it up with his left arm. He then looked at Cyrus whom he still had his collar bye his right hand. "We are going to see the Master...so you can explain all this..." Kihia had said this with a cold stare, and walked over to Aegiel, "Its fine Aegiel...but still come with me... It would be best for you to greet the Master anyways..." Kihia wasn't in a good mood, he was trying to be a set a good example for Lamia Scale and he needed to take care of Cyrus's antics. He noticed Heero coming back from the dessert tables where the Sabertooth Guildmaster had been talking to someone, he wasn't sure what was going on be he intended to stay out of it if he could help it.

Kihia managed to walk through the crowd dragging Cyrus along by his collar to the front of the stage. He then stood there holding a firm grip on Cyrus waiting for Master Zuo to address them.

"Fine. Have it your way." he said before using his Origin Perception on her. Although he really didn't want to, his need for answers overcome his need to try and evade her privacy. He smirked. "Viola, you're really young for your age, dragon child. So many nifty things that you don't even know about yourself, but all I care about is Zenneth. And what's more interesting is that I know what their guild hall is. You would've been better off telling me just his name... It also explains why you've got that really sweet scarf" he said before signaling over the nearest Rune Knight. "I suggest you run" he whispered before turning to the Rune Knight. "I'm accusing this woman of being apart of the rumored dark guild, Knight" he told the man. "Her guild crest is on the back of her neck" he said. I can't just knowingly let an illegal mage walk around and spy on us like it's no big deal... sorry Heero he thought before turning straight to Zuo and making a 'stop' gesture before walking back up to the stage and up to Chikane. "Nice to finally meet the latest guild master of Fairy Tail. How're you liking the job?"

Aegiel gaped up at Kihia, his chilly demeanor giving Aegiel a clue as to just what magic the stern mage used. Glancing apologetically at the limp boy in Kihia's grasp, he followed Kihia to where his Guildmaster sat on his giant stone pedestal. A few Lamia Scale members whispered as he passed, and he winced. He hated drawing this much attention to himself, especially this kind of attention. He felt like he was two years old again, getting scolded by his older brother for making yet another careless mistake. Aegiel bit his lip without thinking, and awaited the judgement of the flashy old man sitting on his giant throne.

He looks strict...but someone who makes an entry as flashy as his must have some sort of humor. Maybe he'd find the situation funny and just laugh it off.

Aegiel's queasy stomach thought otherwise.

Zuo raised an eyebrow at the arrival of Kihia and Cyrus. "My my now what is the meaning of this Kihia? You are causing a bit of scene with all of this. Remember we want to set an example for the other guilds." He leaned forward and inspected the Lamia Scale mages before him "Now my sons would you be so kind as to explain this all to me?" The old man wasn't strictly mad but he was a bit irritated. He had hoped his mages would understand the importance of this meeting. Just as he preparing to scold them properly a number of things all happened at once. First Zenshin came back to the stage who he greeted with a smile and a nod. Then there was a flash of light on the lower level and a table was flipped as a dragon flew into the air. Instantly the room was filled with screaming, Zuo stood to his feet making sure to keep his feet on the marble at the base of his throne. "Kihia get in front of the front door, don't let that dragon out of here! Agiel go with him! Cyrus stay close, and be prepared to make a move to stop it if it tries to leave."

The old man then looked to the dragon who was drawing a lot of attention. "Speak thy name and thy purpose! I am Zuo Cii Of the Earth. What are you of dragon kind doing in a place such as this. Do not attempt to flee or I will use force to keep you here. Please do cooperate. It will make this easier on everyone." He stood unflinching in front of the dragon as if seeing one was every day occurrence. But it really wasn't and he needed to know why one had appeared and where it came from.

Kihia nodded. "Yes Master Zuo, I will explain what happened after this situation is resolved..." Kihia let go of Cyrus and ran to the front doors of the meeting hall as fast as he could, he quickly whipped around and started to spin Icarus. "Ice Make...Ring!" Kihia kept an eye on the Dragon that had appeared and was hovering in the hall, he held Icarus in a way the entire ring was facing the Dragon, I will defend these people...I will defend my friends no matter the cost... He waited to see what happened next, while keeping his spell primed and ready to move to the next stage...

Zenshin looked back. It seemed as though Viola was making a scene. Before he heard the guild master's response, he got comfortable as he watched the chaos unfold. He was now back in his chair, under the banner while sitting next to both guild masters that were present at the stage. "Yeah, that didn't take too long did it? Sorry, I had something to take care of. Curiosity I had to satisfy. Could you do something about her please? Trap her under some rocks or something. Actually, I have a better idea" he told the old man with a chuckle before standing up to address the room. "As the first order of business, I would like to address the rumors circulating about a new dark guild! Nox Animus! This is what they do! They are some guild that the Magic Council is trying to suppress or oppress, they send dangerous spies to the most important event in Fiore. The real enemy here isn't our government, it's Alexander Zenneth! I'd like to make a proposition to you! Come quietly or the good guards inside and outside will be forced to take drastic measures Viola!" After the bomb he just dropped in the room, he simply sat back down and looked over to Zuo, who had just gotten up to address her as well. When he was done, he would begin speaking to the old geezer once again. "Now that that's taken care of, you wanted to hear which of my problems?" Zenneth thinks he, Indar, and the rest of my guild can just leave and form an illegal one without repercussions? Who does he think he is? he thought after doing something with the purpose of getting back at a traitorous old group of members that once called themselves knights.

Things just got interesting. However Simon's priority was not the dragon. It was his friend he just saw for the first time in a long while. Sephiria a dragon slayer he met way back when had recently entered the scene. Simon jumped up from his seat and ran over to her. "Hey Sephiria! Do you remember me? Agent Washington remember? We did the treasure hunting thing together." Just as he said it a dragon appeared in the guild masters hall. Washington spun around and looked at it he let out a quality woah before looking back to his friend. "We should totally fight it! We could so take it!" Simon was practically bouncing up and down at the idea of fighting a dragon with his friend. It would also be a great to show how awesome Fairy Tail is in front of everyone. He jumped into the air and turned into a blue flaming phoenix mid-air "By the way I got a new bag of tricks. Come on grab my talon and I can air drop you on it for a killer ambush!" Naturally it slipped Simon's mind that his stealth had already gone out the window the second he turned into a giant flaming bird.

Neirak happily lied down at this table, the headache not as strong, now, he decided he would order some cake and a glass of water from the waiters. He got out his notebook and a pencil he had been carrying with him and recorded everything that had happened so far in this large meeting room. It didn't take time since all he had to write was about him journeying to this place, getting inside, having a headache, lying down and basically by that time he had already got to the present. The waiter had brought his cake along with the glass of water he had ordered so he had wasted enough time so that his food and drink could arrive.

He picked up the fork that had been out on the plate next to the slice of cake and began to eat the cake quite quickly. When he was done He took a few sips of water before guzzling the rest down. He promptly ordered more cake and another glass of water. Before he could get down to finishing a previous drawing, he heard a commotion from some tables away.He peeked over to see what was going on. There was a girl speaking to a man both looking rather not friendly to each other. He couldn't hear what they were saying but whatever they were talking about they weren't agreeing on something. He saw as the girl ran from the Rune knight heading their way. "Maybe that girl is a fugitive or some villain," Neirak thought to himself. He watched astounded as the white dragon came out form under the table and flew up to the chandelier. He watched as it studied the below world separate from all the way up there. Wow that is so cool, is that an actual dragon,?Neirak whispered to himself.

Sephiria was startled when Agent Washington came to her seemingly excited about something. She was taken by complete surprise when he talked about fighting the dragon that had just appeared. Sephiria was by all intents and purposes going to stay the hell out of it, but her friend was all for attacking the poor thing. Sephiria had no beef with this dragon, why should she fight it? The dragon was just trying to protect itself, even if it was a dark mage. Sephiria wanted to let the poor thing leave on its own merits since nothing had happened that was bad, besides a dragon randomly appearing in the hall.

The poison dragon slayer was about to deny his request, but then Agent Washington did something Sephiria hadn’t seen him do ever. He turned into a phoenix. A flippin phoenix! Sephiria was so entranced by his new state that she did what he had asked, grabbing onto his talon, without even thinking. When she came to, her eyes widened and she asked one simple question in her mind.

‘What in the world did I just do?’
