Alicia was still full of doubts.

Nobody out of nowhere in the forest would attack Elizabeth unless they are bandits or mindless underlings. Bandits? Not likely; if they could afford buying these Treikas, why would they rob and steal? Underlings was possible, but what motive is there in attacking Liz? Liz's wound seems to be pretty badly shaped... Alicia wondered if she was wrong.
"Okay; Liz; I need to know a few quick answers...

1.How far are they from us?
2.These "Treikas" do they change form quickly?
3. Where did the cut come from?"

Alicia continued,crossing her arms:
"Archers should not just go near trees. They should go up the trees to get a better view and avoid misfire. Unless they cannot climb.Warriors can charge head on now if you want; but are you sure that these attackers are the only ones? We should wait until the attackers come closer, then the warriors attack forward.Counter- Attack. You are the leader; coordinating it & distributing roles is your responsibility."

Alicia then turn towards Demi & the rest of the group.
"Demi, try to paralyze them with your magic if you can; Immobilize them, but don't kill them. Who ever can help with magic do the same thing. We want answers, not dead people. I want someone to create a smoke to distract them.
You are saying these kids are defenseless? No. They cannot fight directly, but they can throw stones at the attackers too. Get them up with the archers. Now go. "

"I fear I have spoken too much. Sorry Liz, I just had to say what I have to say."
Alicia then move towards Agrippa and steadied her sword as well. This is Liz's call now.

As the travel through the woods, Ryac loses himself in the joy of being back where he is from. He almost solely keeps away from the others, not out of snobbiness, but out of the pure love for the sites and sounds of nature who he considers like a family. Yet, he senses that something is wrong. Miss Elizabeth is right something evil is out in the forest with them.

Ryac offers his life to the others to defend nature and the group he travels with, which feels like his second family. He runs towards the others to find out what the commotion is all about. When he hears Namaka's idea for the archers to go into the trees so they can attack the enemy from above with out being detected he quickly scampers up the tallest tree to his post.

Liz slowly licked her lips as the sweat continued down her forehead from all of the running, she placed her palm trying to wipe away the greasy disgusting fluid that her body was making. "They are at least 50 feat away from us currently, as for Treikas no usually it takes them about a minute or two to combine with their users but still it depends on if these are highly powered Treikas with weak users or these are professional users. Like I said it all really depends, as for my wound it came from when I was scouting a head well....I was I caught and they scratched me a little." She turned towards the others thinking critically.

"...Give me a second and I'll think of a plan."

Demi nodded at both Elizabeth's and Alicia's order. So she deals with the offensive magic and try to immobilize the enemy (since she doesn't know any healing spell). She responded with an "All right," while decreasing the glow on both of her hands as she tried to adjust the magic energy gathered so she can store enough force to paralyze the enemies while making sure that the spell won't kill them.

Watching Freya taking cover behind a rock, Demi decided to do the same thing too. It's better to minimize the casualties in a battle as much as possible especially against an enemies that had been claimed dangerous judging from the wound from Elizabeth's previous encounter with them and Sora's thought about them. If the enemies were capable of a ranged assault, then at least Demi will have a cover to defend herself. It can also be served as an ambush if the enemies came here close enough, hopefully not expecting an attack from the archers and the children on the trees, the mages and the gunslinger from the rear based on Alicia's Counter-Attack plan. After Demi had already find herself a good spot for a cover, (behind another huge rock, near the group) she then awaited for Elizabeth's next plan.

Elizabeth slowly placed a palm on her forehead as tried to relax and calm down. She knew even if there were only enemies they were no match for them at least not yet with what the experience that most of her companions had. She sighed in relief towards Agrippa. "She's right we can attack they may know something, I'll go back and act as bait to lure them here so be prepared to capture them and too make sure I don't get to hurt by the leader, Sora make sure you stay hidden and try to heal me. Demi release the paralyze spell on them and right when they come to close to our veiw cast on them once again," Sora glanced at Elizabeth and slowly shook his head.

"Wait! Why do you have to be bait?! Your injured badly and this is no time to play hero." Jospeh snapped at her, causing Elizabeth to glare at him viciously. "I'm only suggesting I do it because I have very quick speed and agility if you are so damn concerned then....YOU can be the bait, mutt." Jospeh thought for a second,"I'll be the bait. I won't allow a lady to get her self put into such danger if I can handle it." Elizabeth's cheeks began to turn into a bright pink and she shook her head haughtly. "Do whatever you want!"

"Wha?" Chiya blinks in confusion, as Miru pushes her at the back, shading her against the trees, and placing her finger to her lips. "Shh...okies, Miru-person." Chiya nods, and imitates.

Miru bites her bottom lip, and glances around at the others, taking out her daggers

Elizabeth gritted her teeth as she stared at Freya. ".....Take care of her if you have to, we can handle fighting this mess if violence is necessary," She ran towards a tree running clawing at it with her bare nails, gripping the bark as the wet blood continued to ooze down her flaky arm. "Jospeh! I shall create a wind barrier around while you bring them in! We need to hurry and do this fast since me and that Agrippa woman need medical attention state!" Jospeh nodded slowly grabbing his big rusty battle axe to his shoulder ready to swing.

And so he began to run, as Illia flew beside him create a small magic barrier, his breath slowly began to increase as he ran towards his enemies. Lyanna simply stood back watching as the young man charged dashing in. He cool black hair waved past, those two emerald green eyes focused only at what he had set for doing. Lyanna hurried over towards Agrippa and Freya, glancing between them. Suddenly she felt a dark destruction scent around the woman that laid in Freya's arms. "This is....! What kind of curse...?!" She tried to keep silent but all she knew what violence and destruction was around her, causing tears of the young girl from the forest to bear.

Namaka took out her weapon, sliding past everyone and stood in a protective stance in front of the small group. "Hey Lyanna you REALLY think it's a good time to be crying?! Come on! Be strong and help protect this moronic idiots with me, my dazzling star!" She winked at the crying girl and that couldn't stop Lyanna from crying but she smiled nodding with a light pink blush on her face as Sora mutter some words in the back of his throat a small white circle shined under neath Freya and Agrippa, Sora was not going to let someone die on his watch he promised himself and the person he loved that.


"I swear....I'm...not....not going to be a whimp anymore and t-try hold back!" Jumper simply knew that his time was running out he would have to accomplish his goal soon to make sure that his dear sweet little master was happy.

Jospeh ran towards the enemies before him, the speed of his heart beat pounded against his chest. Sounds of the wind pushed back against him until there he stood before 3 males and 1 female. All of them seemed to have their very own Treika of course against the Treikas' will. A husky voice stormed at him. "....So what do we have here? Come to play Mr. Hero?" The female chuckled insanely, something was not right the air around these four felt...somehow unnatural as though they had been tainted in death himself. "M-Master we shouldn't harm him ple-" A slap was on the imprint of the feminine Treika, she cried out in pain.

Impulse almost took ahold over Jospeh, it screamed 'Save her!' but he knew better then to trust his senses at a time like this, he was suppose to follow the plan.....though that didn't me he couldn't improvise a bit, right? He took a hold of his giant iron axe and struck down the chains that held the Treika in place all together then he ran just of how his real name state like a running fox from it's impending doom. Soon Elizabeth saw the figure and shouted out a order. "READY!" There was dead silence then until rumbling sound came from behind him and there the mission laid before him. "Attack!" Her voice ringed out, all hell was going to appear but that did not stutter any of the others one inch. They would see too it that these intruders would live...but of course not go unpunished.
