"Death is part of Life, without it we are not truly living." Arial recited from memory, "Flint Dragneal told us this at our first Elemental meeting with the previous Order members, that was when Black Frost attended our meetings many years ago. Snow is a tough Filly, she'll be fine." An image of the old Order flashed through her head with Flint, Carla, Rogue, Jagg, Ivy, Aurora, Knight, Bolt, Herself and Black. Now it was just her left out of all of them.

Arial kept starring out into the courtyard, "Do not start blaming yourself of I will put you out there with the other two. Blade fought for what he believed in, for warriors like him the only honorable death is one from battle. He does not blame you, so do not put blame on yourself." She spoke before blowing a little creating a wind that made it more difficult for Nara and Laxus to stay in a hoofstand. Kage nodded his condolences to Shade before walking up to Radz, "You have my undivided attention, what can I do for you?"

"As you wish Sire." Stryker said bowing respectfully as did Kage and Shade before leaving the room. Kage and Shade got to talking about sending their best over and that Kage would help choose those Sentinels. Stryker sighed as the door closed behind him, "In all my years of being Captain of the guard, I never thought this kind of thing would happen during my time."

Shade shot her a glare but kept his composure, he glanced at Kage who shook his head meaning he held no grudge, then he looked at Kane and bowed, "Forgive me Sire, I acted poorly in you're presence."

Shade and Stryker straightened up at his tone, Kage stood perfectly composed and calm not flinching. Shade stepped forward, "All 96 Sentinels are accounted for, any that were out on missions or assignments are now back and being filled in on what they've missed." He reported. "96? My last count had you at 100, what happened?" Stryker asked confused. Shade looked down, "Four of them were coming from the East-" "Uchia." Kage said cutting him. Shade nodded, "They had no clue what they were heading into, my recovery team reported a masked stallion with purple robes and a white gunbai heading east towards the Harbor where Silent landed with his armies. Those were good Stallion and Mares that demon killed, with families and promises, and he killed them like it was a game." His tone became angry and sad. Stryker looked away, the Sentinels were a tight organization revolving around trust and caring towards one another. Something he wished his soldiers would also practice, but his army was too big for that kind of closeness, no matter how much he wished it. Kage closed his eyes, "Uchia is a skilled pony, but he does not pace death, your comrades went without pain." He opened his eyes and raised his hoof just in time to catch a six inch long dart mere inches away from his shoulder. Shades right hoof was up and pointed at him, "Count yourself lucky you share the blood of our Forefather." Shades tone was harsh and unforgiving. Kage tossed the dart back to him and he sheathed it back in its hidden place, "The Sentinels await your command Sire." Shade said dipping his head and stepping back. Stryker glanced from Kane to Shade then back, as if to ask if he caught that whole scene, cause he was a trained Captain of the guard whos reputation closely rivaled Shinings and he didn't see when Shade threw that dart.

((Wasnt it Uchia that killed him? I could be wrong)) Shade and Stryker entered in bowing respectively, though they needed to speak with Kane, they could wait. But they did glare at Kage suspiciously after hearing what he pulled earlier.

"Apologies my Lord, I did not expect Kage to appear, his jutsu has gotten better since I last faced him years ago." Uchia said dipping his head low. Kage stood by watching emotionlessly, he understood the pain and suffering but it was not his to share in. Laxus and Nara were doing hoofstands as punishment for not clearing out when everypony else did, Arial sat back holding her foal and sighing with relief that they were at least alive. The dragons were all in deep discussion about what happened with Nara having two elements at once, they knew it was possible but not at such a young age.

((Kage used is teleportation jutsu on the Uchias jutsu teleportating it ontop of the horde. Which is only a fraction of what Silent really has right?))

Uchia jumped infront of Silent putting his hooves together, "Fire Style Majestic Destroyer Flame Jutsu!" He blew an enormous explosion of flames at Nara, but her stood ready to block it but suddenly his body turned to normal and he felt his power vanish like that, "Uh oh." He whimpered wide eyed. Laxus jumped beside him summoning his lightning as a shield but nothing came. They looked up seeing the large flame gone and Kage kneeled just before them, "This battle is lost you two, lets go." He said briefly before swishing back to them and they vanished. Uchia raised his eyebrow, "What happened to my Jutsu?" As he spoke, the city was lit up in flames as the Horde was suddenly attacked with a giant expolsive flame, Kage teleported the jutsu at last minute onto the horde. Uchia looked away with shame and knew he had majorly bucked up.

((Silents gott react to Naras attack then I'll end it.))

((I just said i was ending it like right after Silents attacks.))

((I was gonna have Naras power surge suddenly cease mysteriously then Kage appears to take em home))

((Wow, way to kill it Killjoy, that was uncalled, come on you dont even know what I was planning...))

Kage ignored her and flickered away. Nara was consumed by the shadowy blast as it swirled around him causing him to vanish from sight, Laxus froze in horror, "NARA!" Laxus turned into Lightning and zipped crashing into the shadowy vortex, he pushed on it but was blasted back by the shadowy vortex as it absorbed his Lightning. The shadowy vortex swirled violently as the lightning took on a black color and sparked striking randomly. Laxus got up and watched helplessly, "No...." Uchia stepped toward Laxus but paused, "Wait, whats that sound?" He asked out loud as he looked at the shadowy and stormy vortex. Suddenly the vortex unraveled and flowed in one direction into the center of itself. After it cleared up more and more it became shockingly clear, Nara stood with his mouth open and swallowing shadowy storm in one gulp. Suddenly his power exploded around him, Naras dark dray fur now had pitch black flame-like blotches on the left side of his face and body, the ground around shook and cracked under the pressure as the pebbles and loose rock began to float upwards. Nara opened his eyes, now pure white with yellow lightning crackling from them, a bolt shaped scar appeared over his left eye which also glowed white. "... you think I can be beaten by the likes of you, JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" He yelled as his power convulsed sending out a shock wave that pushed Uchia back, Laxus flew up dodging it in time. "He ate the shadows and my lightning, this must be what Ignis was talking about, he actually did it... Thats his Lightning Shadow Dragon Mode." Nara lit up his horn and fired thousands of shadowy lightning bolts at Silent, the attack cast a shadow on him blocking out the sun entirely.

Nara grinned, "Ha you dont know the half of it old stallion, I am the Night!" He boasted proudly before breathing a powerful vortex at him. Uchia took a step to aid him but Nara kicked up his back hoof sending a shadow that launched dozens of needles at him keeping him at bay. Laxus leaped from building to building, "NARA dont!" "Excuse me Sir I must return back to gather more survivors." Kage said before flickering away.

((Kages got it)) Kage appeared in a flicker, "The battle is lost, I must make sure you all are safe, gather round and stay close." He said preparing for the long teleportation. Laxus looked around after being told by Kage they were retreating, "Nara come on, we gotta retreat!" He stopped in horror as he saw Nara running at Silent and Uchia. "NARA!" Uchis stoof up from Radz's escape and was met by a shadowy punch from Nara, "What the.." Uchia slid back and bearly dodged a shadow breath from Nara. Nara then flipped backwards sending two shadow slicers at Uchia and at Silent.

((Lolz Silent probably shouldnt attack Nara then if he uses shadow magic)) Uchia got up and put his hooves together and created a wormhole next to Radz that began to suck her body into it, Uchias right eye began to bleed from using its power. "She cant escape us now." Laxus and Nara streamed around blasting through the barbarian horde, helping out wherever they were needed. Kage was facing the horde in hoof to hoof combat taking on multiple opponents at once, his skills were beyond theirs by far. Nara paused when he noticed Radz having trouble, "Uh oh." He said leaping off in that direction.

Uchia recovered and put his hooves together opeing his eyes with its red and black design, the beam was sucked into a wormhole then another opened up close to Radz blast her with her own attack.

Uchia flashed above Radz, "Fire Style Pheonix Flare Jutsu!" Uchia blew a flaring storm of searing fire down on radz melting the ground beneath her.

Uchias body burst into smoke on contact, it was a fake. "Fire Style Searing Migraine!" Uchia said blowing an enternal flame of fire at Radz from behind her.

Uchias eyes darted around as he examined her power, he could see every bit of it knowing she was beyond them both in power, but still..... Even gods have a weakness.

Laxus and Nara wiped off the smoke stains from their faces, "Um What?" Nara asked out loud in surprise, "That beam smelled like Holy Magic." Laxus said shaking himself off. Uchia stood firm against the shockwave, he let his sickle drop into his hoof from inside his sleeve and held it at the ready.

Several kuni with paper attatched to them struck around Silent, they suddenly flared and exploded. Uchia held his hoof out to the side forming a blue lighning in his hoof, "All good things come to an end." He said as he prepared to streak forward at Blade. Suddenly Kage appeared above Uchia balance off him with one hoof, his rasengan already formed in his hoof, Uchia was shocked by his appearance. "How..." Flashback to when they last fought and Kage had imprinted one of his seals onto Uchia during their close combat scourage in the forest. "Dammit Kage you-" Uchia was cut off as Kage slammed him down with his rasengan. Kage flickered next to Blade, "Come with me Sir." He said touching him gently and they vanished away. Uchias eyes burned red through the smoke, as it cleared he walked onward burning with rage inside. Kage appeard atop the spire near Shining and the rest of them, "He needs medical attention, fractured skull and severe burns." He said plainly. Laxus and Nara did their best helping out the line of Empiral soldiers as the horde pressed on them. Uchia found Silent, "We are wining Sir, they cannot keep this up forever."

"But I know what can beat it." Kage said heading off away from him, "MultiShadowclone Jutsu." He said as dozens of copies were made to confuse him. Uchia walked from the smoke with his eyes glowing, "I havent even scratched the surface of what these eyes can do." He said darkly.

Uchia suddenly burst into smoke with a log in his place, "Dont underestimate these eyes Guardian." Uchia said appearing above him, "Fire Style Flame Burst." He held his hoof completely smashing Blade underneath a rapid burst of burning magma balls. Kage burst into smoke as it was just a clone, suddenly he appeared again kicking Silent up with an uppercut from below, Kage picked up the kuni he had thrown under Silent and threw it up passing Silent. Kage teleported above Silent with a blue ball of energy in his hoof, "Wind Style Rasengan." Kage blasted Silent back down hard crashing into the ground. Kage appeared a ways away, knowing it would take more than that.
