Classes of all ranks surrounded the pair, they were more intimidating than the previous gang of what looked like, bandits. All of them defined as mere hunters, either out for bounties, prosperity, or popularity. Either one could be simply gained, being a hunter was required though.

Xayah and Rakan positioned themselves, prepared to fight.

Xayah let her wing fall and so did Rakan, they waited till the perfect moment to strike as one. Although humans were weak, they still posed a threat to their main mission.

Rakan was the first to initiate, jumping into a very compact and big group of human hunters. They flew upwards in mid air for a few moments, coming down facing against the feathers that struck them immediately.

The deaths were evident, blood splattering with the drizzle of rain. The puddles on the ground becoming overrun in red and brown color. 

Humans approached from behind Xayah, she was there main priority. Knives, Swords, Axes, weapons similar coming at her in all directions.. it was a little overwhelming situation.

Rakan dashed onto the violet bird, shielding her with  a golden barrier, the shield negated all of the damage that she was prepared to take.

Relief over comes her a bit, shielded once more by Rakan as she throws out multiple feathers, they overtime form a circle around her.

Rakan throws one of his feathers towards the big hunters and receives a circle of green around him. He Jumps by Xayah and walks towards her, healing her small wounds a bit. 

Once all the feathers were in a circle around her she recalls them all back to her.

Killing if not all the humans than at least most of them. Rakan gives her a refreshing smile.

"That was easy." Rakan said still smiling, xayah watched every body that rest on the muddy ground. Blood streamed into the ground like the rain, it's as if she turned this battleground into a blood shower.

"That's because we haven't even come across a challenge yet." Her head tilted towards the sky, rain fell onto face. "..T-Thanks Rakan."

"For?" He smirked, Rakan had never heard Xayah say 'thanks'

"The shields in that fight." She had no emotion in her voice, she just had to let Rakan know that she appreciates him, although he is mainly a distraction that knocks people in the air and gives her shields. He was more vital to her fighting style than xayah had expected.

"Anytime, I'll always be here." Rakan says replacing the smirk with a bright smile.

They continue forward, walking over corpses of the wicked huntsman. Both Rakan and Xayah could sense they were approaching the magical vibe that surrounded the artifact. Thus making directions through the maze ever so easy.

Once reaching the middle of the dark labyrinth, they come across an odd sight. A lone man stood walking towards the center of the area, inside the middle of the maze.

The dark figure was barely noticeable, but the birds couldn't see who the person was.. The sword he carried was easily seen.

'An Ionian..' Xayah examines by the mans blade, and  his appearance. "Ionian." Xayah speaks up, the figure turns around showing his clothing. Yellow, and silver is what he wore, along with the blade being a silk yellow. His armor came into a facial mask looking similar to a bee hive.

"Bee-Man?" Rakan laughed, making fun of his appearance.

"His name is Master yi." The Violet Raven said coldly, "Not only is he Ionian, he's also a major ass."

"Go squawk squawk somewhere else." The bearded man said with a smirk. Master yi continues to walk towards the old vastayan relic in front of him. "This here belongs to the ionians, and I'll be taking it. So I don't know why you petty vastayans are here."

Master Yi gawks at his enemies through his multiple lens. "You are weak and powerless, in both fashion and strength."

Xayah's anger could be seen flashed in her golden eyes, "You're judging our appearance with YOUR mask? Are those your eyes or actual beehives?" The golden bird says mockingly.

"They're actually googles" The yellow master spoke. "-Just for reading." He reached over to pick up the artifact- A feather contacted his hand once getting close to the vastayan magical gem.

The hand being pierced by the violet feather, he strained a little bit. Disappearing suddenly into the air through speed. Becoming seen once again, striking Xayah with his blade. The aura of the blade became blue for a moment, not being the usual yellow color.

Before the blade could make contact onto the violet bird she was shielded and quickly fought back against the blade.

Rakan pounced onto master yi, throwing him upwards. Then preceded to go back to Xayah shielding her once more. He throws one of his feathers in the direction of yi, doing damage and healing both Rakan and Xayah.

The silver and yellow armored man, let his sword levitate in front of him. As he calmly floated in front of the two, green surrounded the wuju bladesman.

Xayah recognized it as a form of meditation, she strikes effortlessly. Her damage effects nothing as the man seems to be healing in some other form of way. 'The green served as healing and some kind of shield' she had concluded.

Rakan slaps the green aura around the man, "We're not hurting him one bit." He swiftly stated. The Peacock jumps slightly into the air as his feathers glisten brighter and more majestic gold. He runs towards master yi mid meditation stance, charming him.

Xayah fully puts most of her power into her continuous undodgeable feathers that were forced upon master yi.

Taking significant damage, he attempts at retreating. The wuju bladesmen disappearing from the eyes of the birds. 

"What a weird guy." Rakan says slowly walking towards the artifact on the ground, a magical aura could be seen.  Suddenly the ground started to shake, the birds became cautious. Grabbing the relic, the two were surrounded by all sorts of species and classes of hunters.

Everyone there was ready to kill or capture them.

The golden bird ran to xayah grabbing her, "we have to get out of here, now!" He says impatiently. The sound of the hunters running for them, it struck Rakan, master yi must've been leading them?

Or something similar, "Let's try to fly together!" Rakan said letting his wing spread outward. He looked towards her encouraging xayah to do the same. Xayah takes the artifact from him and puts it in her robe, it being a perfect small fit.

She realizes how dire their situation was, and does the same as Rakan. Holding him as he does the same. "Don't drop me." The Raven says coldly.
"Never would I think of doing such." Rakan said bringing her closer, he holds her hand and smiles.

With their wings on opposite sides, they seem to resemble a full bird now and the duo flys upward, hand in hand and into the sky.
