As the group followed Snow; Lola, Hunter and the other Werewolf Guard's were keeping their distance from the over sized wolf. They couldn't believe that the humans and even Laxus weren't afraid or even cautious about her. "I guess they don't know the first rule to inner Wolf possession" a Guard whispered to another Guard. However they were quickly silenced when Snow or otherwise, Nova heard them as she turned to their direction. Giving a low growl and bark, while baring her fangs. Immediately afterwards, Nova turned back around and sped her pace cautiously out of the town hall, her tail swishing from side to side. Laxus was startled by the sight however his self pride covered it up and kept following, though more cautiously.

River could hear the murmurs of other men. If what they said is correct then they must head towards the dungeon. Silently signalling Aqua and the rest, they all started heading towards the destination before getting caught.

As the group continued, they eventually made it to the narrow streets, the smell of blood and death filled their noses. The sight was grizzly, people were hung from roofs, blood trails were everywhere, and there were occasional screams which were shortly silenced. "This is just sick..." One of the humans spoke sick to his gut. As they continued on, a familiar figure appeared and it was Jack and a fairly large group of 20 men following him. They were all armed with a rifle with a bayonet attached to the end. They seemed to be heading to the harbor. "Don't engage...the sounds of their rifles will alert everyone in this city. It's better to let him go for now..." Branan spoke even though he knew that man.

For the other group, they encountered very few patrols. And even if they were spotted there was only two men per patrol which could easily be silenced if the situation called for it. Soon they arrived at what appeared to be a dungeon and there was only three men, one guard and two men seemingly arguing with him. "The captain ordered us to kill the prisoners. So let us through!" The guard simply shook his head, "I don't trust you, 4 silver and I'll let you in." Thankfully if the man haven't been so greedy, they would have been executing prisoners.

Snow did her best to not smell the scent of blood too much which was quite a task. Yet when she saw Jack, she almost attacked him till Laxus held her back. "Come on Snowy, think about your main goal", Lola reminded. The Alpha thought for a moment till Nova got back into control and then darkly looked at Branan, waiting to see if he knew the directions.

As the Beta got a closer look on the current situation, she knew on what to do. She sent two of her Werewolf Guards to quickly take down the two men as River pinned the Guard against the wall. Using the water from her special water bottle. The bluenette used the water to bind it around his mouth and nose, preventing any air supply. "I rather avoid the silver thanks. But let us in and we'll pay you with your live. I'll add in a couple of gold coins if you can give us any useful information. Once we let you talk first of course", she growled, finishing it with a chuckle.

Jack and his group soon vanished from sight and Branan began to speak as Snow looked at him darkly. "It's just up ahead, past the house." He then carefully walked forward to another house before taking a peek around the corner. "I count 50 men on the ground, all armed with swords. 15 men on the wall, all manning the cannons. Those men we saw leaving must be swapping with other rifleman. We have ten minutes to kill them all and the noise to draw some attention." He then drew a giant two-handed sword. "On your order, Snow."

Before the men even knew what was happening, two of them were taken down by two figures and the guard was now drowning on land. It seems they wanted access to the dungeon and they were willing to let him live if he let them in. He was panicing but his eyes motioned to the key on his waist.

"Of course, you might need to look away for a second however", Snow grinned as her eyes glowed brightly. The Moon suddenly turned bright, blinding people's vision temporary for those that looked. Using that opportunity, the white haired teen froze the ground, covering as many opposing men's feet from moving. Snow then whistled causing Soarin to appear, swooping down and to guard the cannons using his fire. The white Werewolf grinned and growled, to then charge towards the men. Ready for attack. Hunter, Lola and Laxus followed and the Werewolf Guard's afterwards.

River smirked, grabbing the key and summons the water away. Yet she still pinned the man. "Now speak", she snapped.

The humans turned away as Snow caused to moon to blind the guards, she then covered the ground with ice causing most of the guards to be unable to move. Branan charged in as the spectacle was over and cleaved a group of three men in half with one swing. The guards unable to move were sitting ducks and they were shouting orders or just yelling. The few men that were unstuck charged at them, and one of them closest to the wall began ringing a bell.

Since loyalty was easily bought, the man deduced to spill a lot of information for gold and for his life. "Ok! The captain is in the ruins of the city hall, His first mate Skaar went to the residential area, some man called Jack is at the gate, most of us are in houses and the ships. That's all I know, I swear it!"

With Snow's accurate senses and point to no control over her inner Wolf. Her eyes went black and attacked the man that rang the bell. Out of anger, she brought out her sharp claws, despite having almost no control. Snow's true self prevent from killing the man from her hatred on killing others without a fair reason and only knocked the man out. Possibly leaving a scar on his face from her claws. Hunter attacked his opponents with his sword as Lola used her magic to fight off anyone that attempted to fight her. Laxus was in his lion form, enjoying himself to be back on the battlefield. For the other Werewolf Guard's, they gave their all to fight. Deep down in Snow's mind, she had to prepare for more possible people to fight.

"Hmm... Thank you for your information", said River. She loosened her grip but it wasn't enough for the man to run away. She pulled out one gold coin from her money pouch. "I'll give you the rest once I got what I need. Don't worry about me not finding you, I'm an expert tracker and I've fully memorized your scent. Besides... If you tried to tell anyone about this, especially to your boss. He would most likely kill you for betrayal", the Beta smirked before completely letting go. "Break this deal and/or you haven't told me something that I should know. I'll find you and you'll be lucky if your boss kills you first". River then turned to her head to the Guard's that were pinning the other men down. She ordered them to knock them out instead of killing them or letting them escape. They couldn't risk to be caught this early. Aqua gave a small grin, took the keys from River and started heading down into the dungeons. However, the blue haired woman gave a last glare at the man which she confronted.

With the bell rung, their stealth was now over and now came the time to fight. "Snow! If that Phoenix listens to you, I want you to send him to signal the attack! The crew manning the cannons are gone!" Branan yelled as he cleaved another guard in two. His retinue continued to give it their all as they cut down the enemy with no remorse. The cannon crew were now burning up and falling from the wall. And the spearing fire caused some crates of gunpowder near the cannons to explode. All the noise and commotion soon woke the city from its quiet slumber, soon pirates began storming out of houses in droves to reinforce the main gate.

The guard in front of the dungeon nodded as River gave him a warning before realizing him from her grasp. He didint care much for the Captain at this point and was now fixated at the gold coin in his hand. As the blue haired woman gave him one last glance he shuddered knowing that she was very serious in her warning.

Inside the dungeon, it was fairly dark with some torches lighting the way. There were a few cells along the way but they were empty, it was not until they got deeper when they heard voices. The people who were talking heard footsteps coming and they thought it was the guards or pirates. "No more! No more!" "Get away from us you heartless monsters!" That was until a familiar voice chimed in. "Well if it isn't my favorite people come to give me my massage again...your going to need to work out... or at least use something more than a burning rod to relax these muscles." The voice laughed rather weakly. The voice belonged to the general himself which meant he was alive.

At the town hall, first mate Skarr went up to the Captains room. "We are under attack." He spoke plainly. The door soon opened up to reveal the Captain with his sword and pistol at the ready. "Let them come, I'll destroy them and this city. Skarr, I'm going to need you to regroup with this Jack, and kill anyone that gets in your way. I'm going to signal the ships." The Captain spoke before his first mate ran at an inhuman speed, outside the town hall to regroup with Jack.

Snow heard Branan and howled at Soarin. The Pheonix looked at the white Wolf and knew by her look that it was his Que to do his job. Quickly he flew out and unleaded his burning light into the sky as the signal to attack. As the group began to see more people coming, the pressure grew stronger but they began to fight harder. The Werewolf Guard's all shifted into their Wolf forms and for those that had elements used those to their advantage. Lola used as many counter spells as she could, but since she was only an Omega and can only use magic to defend herself. Her luck was running short. However she wasn't going to give up yet. Hunter and Laxus worked together again to fight, they both found a way to fight for the others disadvantage which proved them stronger.

The bluenette grew silent when she heard the yells of over prisoners. Her face turned emotionless but that was only to hide her sadness for the poor innocent that was treated this way. Yet as she heard the very familiar voice, she stopped, her emotions completely there, shock, happiness, worry and glad, not to mention humour for the man's usual sarcasm. "G-General?" Her voice came out stuttered while she slowly made her way to the cell that she heard the voice. Aqua silently followed, the only one to not share any emotions as her mind kept on track on the mission.

Drogan and his riders looked up in the sky to see a burning light in the sky. "That's the signal! Charge!" He yelled at the top of his lungs then gave a war cry, causing the rest of the horseman to also give a war cry and charged alongside their general. Branans Templars also began to charge.

Branan and his retinue then noticed rifleman coming to reinforce the gates. "Rifles incoming!" He called out as he slashed at the nearest pirate and used him as a human shield to block a few shots that came his way. His retinue used their swords to block some bullets but a few hit them and pierced their armor.

Jack was running alongside the group of 20 men to the gate when first mate Skarr appeared next to them and followed at a steady pace. "The Captain is about to call in the bombardment, so stay in cover when you see the signal." He spoke and Jack nodded.

In the dungeon, the General heard a familiar voice which surprised him. "R-River!? If this is a dream don't pinch me...actually pinch me, I think the insect they put in me is still alive...and I can't get it since I'm tied up..." He laughed despite the pain in his body telling him to remain quiet and still.

All of the Wolves heard the war cry and it brought them the sudden adrenaline to fight even stronger than ever. Their inner wolves bringing in their hunting instincts. Laxus felt completely at home in battle, shifting to his true form as the shapeshifter God of Pride. As well wearing a pure gold enchanted armour. Despite there now was the rifleman now shooting at them, the Werewolves could easily dodge them with their agility but for those that did get shot only flinched for a second to then continue fighting, their bodies already beginning to heal itself.

River gave small chuckle just truly glad to see the General again, alive. She helped untie him carefully and offered him help to stand up. "It's good to see you again. Do you know where Andrew could be?" The blue haired Wolf General questioned, not looking away the man, giving him a small quick smile before turning serious.

Branan heard the thundering of hooves approaching the gate and with that a smile crossed his face. "The cavalry has arrived." He muttered as he saw Drogan and his horseman exit the forest and enter the port. The avoided the few freindlies on the field and began to stampede through the pirate lines.

The General who was now free shook his head declined her offer. "I would...but my leg is busted and twisted in three different places...Andrew is up ahead in the torture rooms...he should still be alive since I saw him not too long ago. Just leave me here and I'll let my magic do the work." He replied he closed his eyes and placed his hands together and began to heal his injuries.

Jack and Skarr who arrived at the gate saw as the human horseman, Knights, and werewolfs were breaking through their lines. He then growled as he saw Snow. "Load in anything made of silver into your weapon! Silver coins, bullets, anything at shoot that one!" He pointed at Snow and the rest of the men complied with his order. Skaar knew that there was no chance in hell that they were going to win and instead he was now focused on another plan, and that was to finish off Andrew. He then slipped away as Jack and his men focused on loading their rifles.

Now seeing his obvious injuries, River was shocked and reluctant to leave. She was about to respond but Aqua silenced her by placing her small hand on the tall woman. River flinched as she slowly turned to look at the witch and sighed. Nodding it would be best to help rescue for everyone's sake, especially Snow. The water powered Werewolf knew Snow enough about her life, all she faced was death from people that she loved and cared about. And if something happened to Andrew, who knows on how the white haired girl would react. So she nodded and started heading towards the torture rooms.

Snow continued to fight with her all, she used her ice powers mostly for defence as for her armour and her Moon powers as an advantage to counter attack. Her ears slightly picked up a familiar voice. A voice that she didn't like. She stopped and started looking around her surroundings where he person was.

As they proceded to the torture rooms, all the yelling soon faded away until it turned to relative silence. The only noise they now heard was the dripping of some unknown liquid and a pained moan coming from one of the rooms.

Jack noticed Snow looking around and relized she must have heard him despite all the noise. He swore under his breath as he loaded his silver bullet along with the others. "I want that mutt dead! Open fire!" He then aimed his rifle at Snow before shooting at her along with the other 20 men.

The bluenette heard the pained moan and quickly moved to were the source was. "Andrew? Is that you?" She spoke, carefully stepping over whatever it was that was laying on the floor.

At the immediate sound of a gun fire, Snow became 100% alert and instincts took over as her ice should did it's best to protect her. Her eyes were pitch black. Nova was in full control again and she had one target in her mind. Kill those that threaten her, her friends and family.

Jack swore loudly as the bullets impacted her shield. "Reload again! If she gets close use your bayonets!" He yelled at his men as they hurried to load their next round.

Andrew woke up as he heard a voice. "Who...who are you?" He spoke as loud as he could so his voice could be heard through the closed door. He then coughed up blood after finishing his sentance.

Snow saw the men were beginning to reload and used that opportunity to her advantage and ran to the shadows. She growls looking at the surroundings more, finding anything she could use to take the middlemen and Jack down. The white Werewolf growled.

"It's me River. Snow, the others and I have come to rescue you and the General as well this city", River explained, using the keys to open the door and makes her way to take off Andrew's chains. "Snow has almost let her inner wolf to take over she was that worried".

Andrew looked just as bad as the general, but unlike the general he slumped to the floor after his chains were removed. "Wow...she came to...help all of us..." He asked amazed before coughing more blood. "Remind me...to repay her..." He added afterwards

Jack watched as the werewolf ran to the shadows. "Hold this line! If you see her shoot her! If you see any knights you shoot them as well!" He yelled to the others as he now relized the line of pirates were being overpowered.

River gave the knight a small smile yet she quickly focused on mission. "Of course. Do need a hand on getting up?" She asked, glancing at the water witch. "I can use a healing spell. It's a slow process but it will help.", Aqua spoke up, walking closer to the two people.

Snow growled, running from Shadow to shadow. When she got close to a rifleman she attempted to bite his ankle and drag him away quickly.

"After the healing spell...takes effect, I'll take....you up on that offer..." Andrew replied weakly without coughing out blood.

As the Pirates looked around for their target, one of them was suddenly bit on his ankle and was dragged away while screaming. Jack realized that there was no way they were going to hold the line but he wanted Snow dead at all costs.

The two women agreed on Andrew's suggestion as Aqua started her healing spell. River decided to keep guard and to check on the General.

Snow kept her catch pinned to the ground, she only just managed to take away the man's weapon and knocked him out before he could respond. Straight away, Snow hid back in the shadows and dragged another rifleman into the shadows. The white Wolf was beginning to enjoy this as she saw Jack getting angrier and angrier.

when River went to check up on the general, he looked much better than when she first saw him. He was looking around his room for something when he saw River. "Don't mind me, just looking for my armor and weapon so I can get ready for a fight." He spoke while looking around the room for his armor and weapon. He had seen his hosts place them somewhere in the room he was in.

Jack was now angry after seeing another one of his men get dragged away, and he gave a new order. "Ready explosives! Flush her out!" On cue the remaining eight men pulled out a small flask filled with gunpowder and topped with a fuse, they then lit them on nearby torches and threw them into alleyways.

River chuckles, crossing her arms. "You mean the ones behind you?" She smirks, raising an eyebrow. Yet happy to see him ok. Aqua could hear the conversation considering that their voices echoed in the large dungeon. However the witch simply ignored them and focused on her healing.

At the sound of the new order, Snow immediately put herself into action and started finding her way to climb up to a higher spot.

The general looked behind him to see his armor and weapon staring him in the face. "I was just testing you...it seems like you passed with flying colors." The general spoke before getting his armor on. "Or perhaps you are too stubborn to admit failure or defeat..." A dark voice called out.

The bombs rolled into the alleyways ready to explode. "That should do her in! I want two of you to stay here and make sure she dies, the rest of us are getting the hell out of here before the rest of the Knights get here." He began to retreat along with most of his men.

Upon hearing the Dark voice River growled and had her sword ready for who was there. Aqua remains silent but she was prepared for any spell that she needed to use.

Snow climbed and climb and did her best to reach the top. She could hear the explosions and hoped that the other Knights were ok. Once she reached the roof, she panted but had to keep running.
