Havoc vs ???/ The meeting

"Descend."

Spears of water and earth pierced the sky, coalescing into an enormous instrument of destruction.

His opponent only smiled at this great weapon as it rocketed down towards him. He lifted up his hand and his eyes went a fiery red. He opened his mouth and whispered as he closed his fist "Exusia."

A vast amount of resonance shook the area, as the supposed spear of destruction became as though it was lowly mud, falling to pieces.

Havoc reached out his hand to reform it, to... nothing. He looked at his stomach, to see a burning lock in its center.

His adversary appeared in front of him, and said "You feel weak don't you?" He lifted up his hand and slammed havoc's face with his palm.

A resounding bang blasted outwards in all directions, as Havoc hurtled towards the ground. He crashed into the ground, with Havoc's body going five feet under face first. Blood started pouring out of Havoc's nose and mouth. Dazed, he whispered a name. The ground shook and fractured, and as he turned towards his opponent, shouting a single name. "RAMU!"

Lucaria, Katlyn and Natasha also started apologising to the people in the room.

"Please forgive us!" They all said in unison.

Havoc spoke up. "No need to worry. This does, however, call into question two things. First of all, our teleportation detectors. Xander, Greta, would you like to go into that?"

"It's probably just a cloaking device that leaves it undetected. It'll be problematic if it's one of the twelve great guilds." Xander stated.

A coin twirled on the table. "Havoc, what do you think of the proposition of an ending to the expansion in the "Awakening Sword" continents for the next two years, and a collection of power here in 'Shield."

"We'll keep either 5th or 6th in the area. One of you pillars will focus on recruiting for 6 months before bringing them here."

"I'll go. Coin flipper Anthony over here can stay."

"What, and let you laze around for six months. No way, I'm going so we can actually expand this organisation."

"Are you saying that I'm not fit to do the job?"

"Yes I am! Considering that I've worked with you for 7 long years, I've seen how lazy you are. 5th pillar or not, you ain't gonna do that job efficiently at all!" Anthony said as he stood up

"Oh yeah? Mate, there's a reason that I'm the 5th pillar and you're the sixth. I'm a much greater asset to the dual flames than you'll ever be." The 5th pillar roared.

" The only reason you're above me is.."

A great wave of resonance rushed across the room, as the one who carried Lucaria, Natasha, and Katlyn in let her power shake the room.

Both the 5th and the 6th pillar both said "Sorry." before slumping back into their chairs.

"Come on now Amelia. Rivalry is a good catalyst for growth is it not?"

"We're here for a meeting, not to deal with interpersonal relations. However, I agree with the 6th's proposition."

"Exactly!" Anthony said as he sat down. But as he got into a sitting position, the chair was pushed against the wall.

Anthony immediately realised it was the 5th pillar and started to gather strength in his fist. However, after thinking over it for a second, he smiled and stated "How immature of you Zenith. We're supposed to be discussing the longevity of the guild, not messing around and engaging in tomfoolery."

Someone wearing a black hat tipped it forward as they said, "I do have to say Zenith, that was pretty immature."

"She has a point," Havoc concurred.

"I wholly disagree. That action increased the morale and joviality of this meeting, causing us not be caught up in the intensity and worries of the problem, and making more people jump out of their thoughts and actually engage in conversation, instead of playing with a deck of cards." Zenith rebutted, while looking at the woman with a black hat. "Erica?"

"Let's just finish this meeting so we can go back to whatever we were doing, i.e. sleeping."

Everyone in the meeting looked at him, before saying in unison. "Well hello Mr Dark and Edgy, nice to see you come out of your eternal slumber."

Everyone started laughing.

"Ok then Mr Dark and Edgy. For the short term, we'll keep the stay of the ten here for a longer period, before we do the sixth's idea in both the branches. Are you happy now?"

Everyone got up to leave. The 5th and 6th pillars walked out first. Then, out of the clear blue nothing, Anthony punched Zenith in the face, knocking him to the floor. That night, the surrounding area heard many crashes and bangs coming from the ground underneath the dual flame building.

Amelia rubbed her face in anguish. "Those two never change."
