The Ark Of Mobilize The Arks

"Yes, Headmaster," replied the chosen boys as they ran out of the room.

With the Founders left in the room, the Old Chapel prepared the needed area and devices for the Headmaster to activate the Arks. It would be the group's first mobilization since they started all those years ago. Gillian would be lying if he didn't feel any excitement from the situation.

Z could only look at the Aki and shake his head. No matter how many years have passed, Gillian would always be a young boy ready to blow up something.

"We are going to war with the Six Rogue Mages and Fabian Brookes. I can no longer stand back and watch this horror progress any further. I, Headmaster of the Arks, shall activate all members of the Arks into war mode. All Arks shall be on active duty as of my words now," commanded Gillian.

"We're going against our targets altogether?! So we are mobilizing EVERYONE?!" asked Raiyen, flabbergasted with Gillian's choice.

"We've got no choice at this point unless you want to turn the clock back for the entire Five Domains to prevent this conflict from happening. Let's hope that our faculty are all up to par with the combat skills," said Z.

Raiyen felt conflicted as he nodded his head. The Vigilante wasn't built for a big war since they were an intelligent task force and worked with the notion of not engaging in combat. But all Mages in the Arks must have a particular skill level to pass the tryouts into the specific Ark.

Thus, Raiyen's members would have sufficient knowledge for combat. However, the TIme Mage was still worried that the juniors would be killed off faster than they could protect them. Mavislin saw her partner looking worried and grabbed his hand to squeeze it tightly.

"Have faith in your underlings and comrades. I am sure that though they may be used to the shadows, they've got enough ecperience and skills to defeat their opponents. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen them, right?" asked Mavislin, smiling.

The whole room started to shake as the group was transported from Z's room to the meeting room, the heart of the Old Chapel. Now, the group was standing at five spots, with one place empty since Baldwin wasn't around.

The Headmaster snapped his fingers as five stone columns emerged from the floor, with one in front of every Founder in the room. Each stone column had the emblems of the Five Arks and a stick which Raiyen and Z call a 'lever.'

The floor had a carving of a giant pentagram, and the Founders were standing at the points of the stars. Gillian was the only one standing at the center of the star.

"Lift the limiters and sound the alarms. Let our emblems shine gloriously as we raise our weapons high to stop this unwanted disruption of peace in our home. As the Headmaster and Founder of the Arks, I ask of all to activate your departments now!" yelled Gillian, placing a hand on the lever.

"Spread your wings and protect the skies. Soar above all, Dynasty Of Wings!" commanded Ysabeau as she pulled the lever toward herself.

As she did so, a surge of white light passed from the lever to the ground, lighting up Ysabeau's part of the carving. Then, a bright white light engulfed Ysabeau's form for a Tick before dying to reveal Ysabeau's battle gear. It was the first time that the High Queen had used this uniform.

"Bahamut's Armor Of The Upper Skies... I never thought this would work, but it feels incredibly light and easy to move around in," said Ysabeau.

The armor was a white full-body suit with tough reptilian scales, similar to the skin of a Bahamut. The outfit's back was exposed to allow Ysabeau's wings to stretch. The boots were also sturdy, but they were not restrictive. Ysabeau shot a hand outwards and was bestowed a new bow.

The bow was massive and beautiful as the upper and lower halves were bright blue, green, and pink colors, giving the appearance of an aurora. The weapon's handle was bronze and black, while the bowstring was teal. The Aurora Bow was the ultimate weapon of the Upper Skies.

The bow was only bestowed to the guardians of the Upper Skies, the Bahamuts, so it makes sense that Ysabeau would be wielding it. However, the High Queen secretly preferred her Aetherial Bow since that was much easier to control and use against strong enemies.

Now it was Z's turn to activate his Ark though most of his fleet was already on active duty trying to quell the storm.

"We will dive to the ocean's darkest depths to defend our nations. Children of the Sea, hear my command, Blizzard Faction!" ordered Z as he pulled the lever.
