Matthew giggled nervously.
“Heheh, yeah… sorry” he had his swords pointing away from everyone else, not wanting to accidentally hurt any one of them.

Tucana turned to Matthew.
“The Constellation armors all have one thing in common; they change through time depending on its wearer. So, theoretically, they have no limits” the black bird knight mentioned as his headgear unfolded and covered his eyes completely, leaving an opening around the bottom half of his face.

Scorpio turned to the bird as he dusted off the parts of his armor which were burnt.
“Thank you for telling me that” the man gave a thumbs up.
“So, how should we get the guy?” He asked.

(Ah, well it was nice having you!)

"Perhaps I could try and do…something, with water I mean, as like a distraction?" Pasha felt his stomach cringing at the suggestion. He never had been much of a fighter, so when it came to things like this he was clueless. Although, if it was hand-to-hand he could probably break a neck or two.
The armor has no limits huh? I wonder what it will become over time for me…

“That might be helpful, at least to him” Tucana pointed at the Scorpio whose blades were suitable for quick entrances and equally fast exits. Tucana analyzed the Scorpio armor a bit as he started to think of something.
“I think I’ve got an idea…”

"Would you care to share?" Pasha raised his eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest. What is it with people only saying half a sentence?
Something clenched inside his chest, only for a second, but it was sudden enough to knock the wind out of him, sending a sharp pain spiraling out through his rib cage. The only gesture he made was slowly moving his hand over where his heart was and rubbing it slightly.
The sooner this is over with the better..

Tucana nodded then turned to Matthew.
“Hey tail dude—“ he called to him as the Scorpio looked up “—if I were to drop you into the center of the flames, you think you can send the man out here in the open?”

The Scorpio thought about it a bit silently before he smirked.
“I think I’m capable of that”

“Alright—“ he turned back to Pasha “—you will have to do the distraction part for this to work, the man can look in only one direction at a time after all” he requested subtly before he turned to Lata.

“You’re gonna be the one to capture him when he’s sent out here, I think your dragons can silence him easily” the black bird stated.

“Does that sound fair to everyone?” He asked, extending his hands in a questioning way.

Pasha raised his hand mockingly, trying not to wince at the pain inside his chest. "Just so I know, what exactly am I doing to distract him?"

(I'm sorry it's short, I didn't know what else to say)

(No worries!)

Tucana nodded before he answered.
“The armor should be able to spray out large strings of water so it should be a threat to the man if he sees them” he gave the idea. There have been a long silence from the man inside the flames after the Scorpio had slashed at him.

Great, not that I know how to do that..
Pasha nodded silently, biting the inside of his lower lip. The man within the flames had been surprisingly quiet, and something told Pasha that wasn't a good thing. He thought about how he could efficiently distract the man, if he was even alive that was, but all the roads led to something called failure. I could jump, that would probably catch him off guard for a moment or two, just long enough for someone else to nab him.

Tucana nodded then turned to Matthew.
“Hey tail dude—“ he called to him as the Scorpio looked up “—if I were to drop you into the center of the flames, you think you can send the man out here in the open?”

The Scorpio thought about it a bit silently before he smirked.
“I think I’m capable of that”

“Alright—“ he turned back to Pasha “—you will have to do the distraction part for this to work, the man can look in only one direction at a time after all” he requested subtly before he turned to Lata.

“You’re gonna be the one to capture him when he’s sent out here, I think your dragons can silence him easily” the black bird stated.

“Does that sound fair to everyone?” He asked, extending his hands in a questioning way.

Lata nodded, a bit unused to being the center of the mission. It was kind of nice though, especially if she got to beat someone's ass in the end. It was also another good opportunity to practice with the dragons as well. Perhaps she could use the same move as before when "battling" Draco.

“Alright, that’s great—“ Tucana turned to Scorpio “—hey tail guy” he called as Matthew turned to him.

“Yeah yeah—“ he prepared his blades “—I’m ready” he claimed, walking towards the bird.

“Ready Pasha? Just a stream of water to distract him towards you” he reassured as he started to flap his wings.

"Am I aiming at him??" Pasha cried, almost in fright. Gods, if he was going to do something that would potentially cause the man to get angry with him, he wanted to at least be prepared for the worst. And how was he to manifest this water? Did that kind of power come with the armor? I'll figure it out, I just hope I don't mess up.

“Yep, it would also be great if you’re able to put out the fire around him so this idiot doesn’t burn himself again” Tucana jerked his thumb at Matthew as the Scorpio turned his head slowly to Tucana while jokingly clenching his fist.
Tucana smirked as he got a grab of Matthew’s arms.
“We’ll be going up, I’m counting on ya, no pressure though” Tucana ended as he took off with the Scorpio, floating in the skies while waiting for a chance.

The Pisces nodded slowly, taking a deep breath. He knew what he needed to do, and he couldn't let everyone else down.
His body began to shake, the pain in his chest slowly receding. It was an odd feeling, but the warmth it gave him was almost comforting. Okay, I can do this! Only have an angry pyromaniac as my enemy..

The flames and smoke were just thick enough that Pasha couldn’t see through them clearly. There had been a shadowy figure amidst it all though, moving, twisting and turning in suspicion. He was a few meters away from where the Pisces and Libra were.
The flames grew stronger as time moved and as the trees around there burnt more and more.

Pasha had no idea in which direction he was supposed to aim the water, nor had he figured out just how he was going to manifest it.
Time was running out, he needed to do something quickly! The pain drifted back and forth inside him, his body shook even harder than before.
(Trust me, I'm going somewhere with this, just bear with)

(Since I feel like I know what you’re waiting for, I’m gonna serve it, I’m not completely sure though XD)

The shadowy figure’s turning head suddenly stopped and what moved was his hand. He had found where the Pisces was. His palm faced the knight as it started releasing a wave of flames; blue flames to be exact, scorching its way towards the Pisces without stopping or slowing down along the way. It was moving slower than regular flames though.

Everything froze inside Pasha's mind and body when he saw the flames coming towards him. It was like he had forgotten everything he was going to do, and his feet were glued to the spot. His fingers went limp, and the badge in his hands fell to the ground. He was unaware that his armor was forming around him. As soon as the helm was complete, something snapped. An explosion shattered his chest and heavy streams of water began racing towards the flames, and the figure himself. The feeling of a current flowing though Pasha'a veins sparked a new sense of life.

The fiery figure was in shock when the water stream came towards him, blinding him somewhat.

“Perfect!!” The Scorpio was released and landed on his tail, slashing the fiery figure’s legs and arms because wrapping the figure’s body around his tail and throwing the figure out.

“Libra!!” Matthew shouted from where he was when the figure was thrown out of the woods.

Can I stop now? This hurts…
Pasha's body began to weaken as he tried to take control of the water. He tried to reach out to it, grasping the atoms within the slight connection between them, but he couldn't feel the bond and so couldn't make it stop. While his body was in heaven, his mind was spiraling into hell as confusion and worry consumed his thoughts. All he could feel was water, all he could see was water.

The Libra raised her arms in the air, a few swirling dragons following the motion before spinning and looping around the armored figure. She took a deep breath to keep her concentration as she saw the man struggle and attempt to burn away her attack. Even if that meant ignoring Pisces to her left. Lata could feel tension radiating off of him though. She might be in a similar condition had she remembered to leave behind the crystal still around her neck beneath her armor. It was only reliable to assist for a few extra minutes when magic was in use however. It also could not stop the feeling of her magic slowly flowing out into the snaking dragons holding their victim captive. This was only the second time using them of course.

(EEEEEEEEP! AH!! SORRY!!)

The male figure was on the ground, now not moving anymore. He was still alive though as he was still breathing but perhaps his energy was all gone.

Tucana and the Scorpio came back from the burnt forest. As they got out, the fires that were burning the trees faded away.

Tucana knelt down and tied the man’s hands together.
He touched his earpiece.
“Tucana speaking, is Steven online?” The bird constellation asked, getting a response.
“The mountain of burnt trees… yeah…” the bird answered to the other man’s response.

Another figure was coming down from the skies…

Pasha could hear other voices, those that he recognised, but for some reason every sound around him was muffled. Almost as if water was clogging his ears. You need to calm down, that is the only way to stop this feeling.
Easier said than done…
The water ceased to flow from Pasha, but his body still shook, his chest was still heavy. He took a deep, painful breath, and tried to act normal. He noticed the figure coming down towards them and glanced in Tucana's direction. "Who is that?" he wheezed. Even talking hurt his chest.

Lata let her energy fall away. It was a relief that she didn't feel the air rush out of her from exhaustion this time. Glancing over at Pisces, she frowned, noticing how weak he seemed. His aura confirmed it as well. She considered handing him the crystal she currently had around her neck, but hesitated. It was the thing she treasured the most. Not for it's purpose, but for the importance behind it. About to speak, she looked over in the direction the other knight was staring in. Holding her tongue, she prepared to summon the energy dragons again to defend the group. She hoped it was one of the other Silverwings. Hell, Azure would be nice to see as well. Especially since she needed to have a few words with him.

“A fellow Silverwing, he goes by two names; his real name, Steven, or—“ the figure who was soaring down picked up the unconscious body of the flame user without touching the ground, locking the man in a blue orb “—the Scavenger…” Tucana answered as he looked at the man who just took off again.

His actions were too quick to see how he looked like, the bittersweet scent of lemon was the only thing left behind.
“There’s one still on the run” The Scorpio brought up, staring down at the lower grounds.
“The lady in white who uses ice magic, where could she be?”

(Sorry! I've been so so busy, but I'm back long enough to reply)

Lata narrowed her eyes at the retreating form, but let her magic fall away again. She turned to the Scorpio knight and shrugged. "I wish I could tell you," she replied. The girl looked over at Pisces once again. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked hesitantly. Inside, Lata knew that the fatigue was deep within the boy's body. If he planned on doing anything soon, then he would need something to keep him going, if just enough to return to the castle. No matter the reply, Lata felt a tug at her soul.
He needs the crystal.
But if he doesn't return it, he'll have quite the reason to feel tired.
