Apollon slowly shakes his head. The masked man laughs." I might be a bit intimidating. I should have started with my name. You can call me Scorpio."

Lycaon stepped in. " He doesn't want to go. Take the hint, warlock."

The masked man, Scorpio, demeanor changes. Giving off a scary aura. " Fine, you're only making this difficult."

Scorpio dashes forward in seconds. Lycaon threw throwing knives from his back pouch and coat them with lighting magic. " Lightning cast: Tazer"

Scorpio dodges them and punches him in his stomach, sending him back. Flora catches him and uses magic at her feet, so they won't fall off. As Scorpio was about to snatch Apollon, Fauna snaps out of her fearful state, and she powerfully kicks off Scorpio  off the train. He unfortunately landed safely on his feet. He held his hurting side. Apollon looks back as his guards look partly beaten, fending him off with some other soldiers.

Apollon wanted to go back and help, but Lycaon convinced him not to," You'll only be a burden to the professionals."

They rode the train to the province of Dante. Enough time for Flora to heal Lycaon. They head to the academy arena as they were told. Meeting up with Helios, Nile, Khione, and the dark clothes girl is named Twilight.

Master Ajax chastises them on being late."It appears that the rest of the runts made it. I was going to divide you into teams, but it appears you have already done so. Members who arrive late will be assigned to a team called late tortoises." He gives a scolding look.

Then, he shifts his attention to the others. "Those who arrive on time will be referred to as 'early birds'. When you are worthy, you can change the names of your teams. You all will be assogned to a mission to deal with the constellations, a high-class gang. We only have photos of a few of the members. Both teams must find and capture as many as possible. You'll have until the end of spring and summer to do so. Your pay is approximately 10 Philo stones per capture."

Lycaon's mouth dropped open. Fauna re-closed his mouth, so he didn't make a puddle of drool. Master Ajax wishes them luck, and to begin their mission.

As the kids left, Master Circe comes in to speak to Ajax. A  worried expression hit her face." When are you gonna tell them Ajax, especially him?"

He replies. " When they are ready. If they can't handle this, then there will be no telling them. For the yellow hair warlock. It's up to his grandfather. "

Circe shakes her head." Well, it better be soon because they are starting to come for him."

Master Ajax sighs. "I know, two of them already bypass the barrier."

Back at the group. They made it to the province of Sophia on a chariot to the city of Victory. Team tortoise had downtown of victory; Team bird had uptown.

Apollon stood at the top of the building with Lycaon. He used his wonderful eyesight to scower the rushing floral city. Lycaon asks around to see if anyone can help. While the twins survey the eastern part of the city.

Apollon spot one from down the street. She looks like the first picture. It was a fair-skin witch named Adromeda. She had a tough look with her hair in a strict bun. Her clothing was a single line of clothing that wrapped around her like waves. It covered the important parts. Apollon and Lycaon jumped in front of her. Pulling out their Huntiks warrior cards. Apollon said insistently," We are going to need you to come with us."

Andromeda laughs. "And what do you runts want ?"

Lycaon informs her that she is being arrested. She continued to laugh and walk away. Lycaon grabbed her and took some rope out to detain her.

She back kicks Lycaon so hard it sends him flying towards a food court. Apollon took out his sword and got in battle position.

She smirks." Physical Technique: brute force." Her body is seen surging with mana energy.

As Apollon tightens his muscles, He loses sight of her. He had an intuition that she is now above him. he ducks out of the way as she slams down with her foot. She created a large crater on the ground with little effort.

Apollon's pupils dilate. He continued to duck as she charged at him with more kicks and punches. Her speed and bursts of mana energy made it more difficult to dodge. He wasn't even able to make a single strike with his sword. Her movements were too quick and continuous for him to strike without being severely injured.

Lycaon dashes from behind, sending electricity through his hand onto Andromeda's back. She compulsively collapsed towards the ground.

Soldiers rush to approach the situation. They were 6ft tall warlocks with white tunics and dark black pants to contrast. They took other extremely sharp swords that they carried beside them. Apollon and Lycaon hurry to bind her with a rope. They stood her up, and the soldiers pointed their swords at her. She was still hard to restrain. Lycaon and Apollon couldn't hold on any longer, and she broke free with her brute force. She sent all of them flying.

Flora and Fauna arrived on time. Flora created soft flowery bushes for them to land on, as Fauna rushes in with a powerful kick towards Andromeda's face. Her body skipped across the ground. Before, she crashed into a building, turning part of the wall into debris and blurry brown smoke.

Fauna said with a smile. " Let's finish this."
