A world-shaking clap echoed around the massive hall as Adrian and Alex dapped each other up. "Nice performance dawg," said Alex with a big goofy grin. "Right back at ya," said Adrian right back. "Now..." started Alex before suddenly sitting down, Adrian doing so in a flash as well.
"Ok, so how do we rate that performance?"
"I mean I think our acting was pretty good..."
"But?..."
"I feel like the interaction was pretty forced and kinda awkward"
Alex sighed "I hate that you're right... But whatever, I'm sure it was good enough, more than enough for the groundwork for THAT"
Alex and Adrian got back to their feet, "Welp I guess we should go help-" Alex cut himself off just to suddenly blitz behind Adrian and clash with somebody who just blitzed into the hall. The two pushed each other back, Alex was about to go back in but stopped himself. "Adrian, wait, this guy... Well, what'd you know." Adrian looked back to Alex confused, "Who is this guy?"
"This 'guy' is David; he's Welt's apprentice." David nodded at the show of recognition, "I assume you're the one in charge then." Alex grinned, "Yep we were about to head out to finish him right now." Alex turned to Adrian," Same entrance as planned," he then turned to David, "I assume you are good enough at assassinations?" Getting a nod in response Alex continued, "Great, we will be doing a simple assassination and extraction with my friend's shadow spacial magic. I'm still tired from my other fight so I'll get the A rank, the S Rank should be tired by now so I think you can get them.
David grinned, "Don't worry, I got her. Lead the way." And with that they were off. They headed as fast as they could without any magic as to not give away their position. Once they were view of the fight and the situation Alex and Adrian's eyes went wide. "PLAN CHANGED, GO NOW!"

John didn't know what to think, one second he was holding his son hand about to knock his ass out cold, and the next his arm is tied up in some tendril and his Kid disappeared. John looked over to Petra and watched as she was about to finish the water brat only to be jumped from her blind spot. John watched as his wife was knocked out and about to be killed before everybody there was suddenly engulfed in shadows and disappeared.
John was so angry at this that he almost DIDN'T notice the heads falling from the portals in the sky. "Are those..." John started in horror, "THOSE ARE MY MEN!" A horrified John screamed before suddenly going silent as he recognized one of the heads. "Is that you... King"
That momentary distraction is all that was needed for John to buckle suddenly. Looking down he saw a sword piercing through his body. "I" John realized that an insane amount of magic was being condensed. "AM" Hoping it wasn't too late, John tried to use the scraps remaining from this magic to teleport away. Piling his heart and soul into this last teleport he concentrated, tried, and...
Nothing, looking around, John had one final realization. "Ah shit, is that a Domain?" said John somberly.
"ATOMIC"

Ross didn't know what to think, one second he was about to die, and the next some random guy knocked out the bitch, and he was suddenly teleported to some random hill god knows where. He was on guard, but quickly dropped it realizing Ethan, Rhyan, and Adrian were there. Adrian was standing there looking into the distance like he was lost. "You good dawg," asked Ethan, not sure how to react to what had happened.
"You know, we planned this assassination PERFECTLY. Sure we went a little off script but it still panned out fine. This only really worked because he just happened to be the best counter for those types of people, all that teleporting won't get you far here." "Who do you mean? '' Asked Ross, even more confused by this eminence yapping that Blud was doing.
Adrian turned around while pointing behind him. "Him..." And as if on queue, a massive pillar of shot out from where Adrian was pointing, as it raised and pierced into the clouds. "Because he is compressing it not to hit the surrounding town, it is extra strong and twice as deadly, paring it with his domain makes it so no teleporting abilities would be able to get out. Honestly not even an S- Ran-" Adrian cut himself off before narrowing his eyes behind the group.
Ross quickly turned around and his worst nightmare came to light. Petra was just lying there, ALIVE on the ground. Sleeping peacefully without a care in the world. "yo David, I thought you had her." David rolled his eyes, "you teleported us before I could finish the job." Adrian sighed to himself, "That Atomic was supposed to be mostly for her husband AND her. Not sold separately." Adrian shook his head in annoyance, "Whatever, S-Ranks are always worth more alive, ya know, for the country and all that. We're just lucky we fought a relatively weaker one. After all, it is a vast category." A dome of shadows engulfed her before shrinking down to the size of a cue ball, as Adrian walked up to it and grabbed it before shoving it in his pocket.
"Alright, I gotta go Uber Alex, introduce yourselves while I'm gone." And with that he vanished, leaving the rest of them in an awkward silence. David looked at Ross with a glare, "so ah thank you for saving my life and everything," said Ross with an awkward look on his face, "Yeah don't mention it," said David. Ross lays flat on the ground, right next to Petra, who stared directly at Ross, they both made eye contact. "Fancy see you here kid," said Petra. David, Rhyan, Ethan and Ross pin her down. Ross summons his Crescent Moon and paces it next to Petra's neck, while David puts his hands on her forehead, while Rhyan puts to blades by her waist as Ethan puts his foot on her back and ignites it.. "Oh waw you kids got me all surrounded, but i'm somewhat disappointed in your performance water boy. I was hoping for more of a fight from you, I guess I'll finish you off here," said Petra. "There will be no such thing," said a voice from above. "It;s a good thing I came when I did, you fellas are in for a surprise if you think you can beat an S rank, especially when your opponent happens to be Petra Hozeki," said Welt.. "So you know me well Welt, best i stand down for now then," 'i won't want to get into a fight with Welt last time i almost died, his attack power was simply too overpowering even for me,' Petra taught to herself. "I figured i should come down and give you boys a hand, seeing that you were up against a S class, although i guess i was too late. You boys have a lot of training to do, you guys got lucky this time around, but I doubt you will be so lucky next time.
