Overview
The Shadow Legion will need to take great strikes in their war effort if they wish to save their friends in two weeks. In an attempt, they plan an attack on the soldiers in Viola City, a great town known for being the former capital of the country. However in this attempt they fail to realize that the Storm Family is viewing the performance and this simple attempt to take a town will evolve into a full out war over a city, the entire royal army vs the Shadow Legion.

Part 1: Viola's Crystal Theatre
"Alright." Piano started. "Make sure you all have your weapons on you now, we're getting ready for a pretty big step."

"It's only the first day..." Echo noted.

"Correct." The panda said. "Our very first attempt is going to be to try and take Viola City, the art capital and former home of the royal family. There is a small army of guards located here but over all it shouldn't be a problem."

"Why haven't you tried to take it before?" Zero asked.

"Because we need a distraction, something that the guards won't be able to keep their eyes off of. We need a performer." Piano said, and looked over to Kala. "You have that."

"She going to be pulling a magic show or..?" Saren asked, trailing off at the last bit to insinuate what he was trying to say without actually saying it.

"...Or?" Octavia asked.

Saren literally walked up to a nearby wall and started smacking his head against it. Muttering 'stupid' over and over again before returning.

"If you can't guess what I mean after I mention she's a genie and apparently graceful, then I will have lost hope for the general intelligence of people of this generation."

"Viola has a place called Crystal Theatre, it is a performance hall, often times dancers and singers are prominent. She will help us." Piano said.

"You want me to perform?" Kala asked.

"Yes," Piano started. "If you perform, you can keep everyone distracted."

"What's to say that all of them will be watching her perform."

"The power of the heart." Piano said. "The rarest form of any Kinesis, because it truly isn't. Not only will her dancing put her as a beauty to the normal people, but it'll cause those with more...evil intentions to try and kidnap her. Not to mention how the guards will know by now that she is a member of the rebellion."

"I suppose it makes sense." Zero nodded. "And what happens with the guards?"

"Kill them." Piano told the group. "You are to murder each and every member of the enemy guards, I believe Saphire, the youngest member of the Storm family will be there too, make sure she dies too. Shouldn't be too hard until that point."

"Finally! An excuse to kill guards!" Zapor internally cheered.

"Just get me in position and the royal will die.. Only question is, painlessly or painful..?" Saren asked, he was trying to keep up appearances but this civil war they've been forced to take part in was worrying to say the least.

"Doesn't matter to me." Piano said. "As long as she's dead it'll be fine."

"Why does she need to die?" Kala asked. "What about, like, taking her prisoner or like, incapacitating her?"

"Because we need her gone." Piano mentioned. "Don't worry about it, you aren't the one who has to kill her."

Kala looked very uncomfortable about this.

"Are there any other questions that you have?" Piano asked. "There will be a few dozen of our guards in the city, but once the city is taken you need to tell use so we can improve our standing there."

"What happens then?" Zero asked.

"Shouldn't be too hard, just hold the city until then, with how few guards are there, it shouldn't be a problem." Piano nodded.

"Alright." Kala noted. "Let's go then."

Part 2 (A): Dancing with the Cannons
Viola city was absolutely beautiful. The city was covered in brilliant lights and welcoming warmth. It was almost like the entire city wasn't even touched by the war. On the edge of the city, there was the performance hall, which was much more like an arena. Kala stood in the hall outside of the stage with the rest of the legion. "I have a bad feeling about this city."

"Seems pretty nice to me." Leah noted.

"Viola has always been a beautiful city." Knave told her. "There shouldn't be any trouble."

Saren looked at Knave. "It's a shame really... Now, where do you want me positioned..?" Saren asked,

"Yeah, and where are the guards?" Zapor asked.

"A good question..." Knave said. "If princess sapphire is here, perhaps they are dealing with her protection."

"Is it possible they know about us?" Zero asked.

"It...could be possible." Knave noted. "Keep an eye out for traps. It wouldn't surprise me if they planned on ambushing us."

"Kala distracts the guards, and kill the Princess and the rest of the guards. I sense an 90% chance of this plan working." B.A.I.R.C said.

Octavia sighed. "B.A.I.R.C, your a battle robot, not a calculating one. Stay in your lane."

"Executing a royal.... Leave that to me, all Kala meeds to do is play her distraction well enough, then Zapor can do what he needs to do with the others who are not distracted..."

"The princess should be on the highest balcony." Knave said.

"Interesting, what is your plan, my child?" The voice asked.

'You'll see..' Saren thought before asking Knave if he had the blueprints for the theater's design.

Of course, if the scythe has learned anything about Saren since it's been watching him. It would be that Saren is one to improvise as he goes.

"Ok, anyone else wanna come take down some guards?" Zapor asked.

"We should stay here." Knave noted. "When Kala gets targeted most of the guards will come through the entrance to grab her, and we'll wait them out here."

"Sounds good to me." Zero said. "Delta, you and Lexi should go with Saren."

"Got it." Delta nodded.

"How are you going to improvise that?" The voice asked Saren. "Your getting stuck with child duty."

'If there's any complications than we'll see.'

"Then let's begin." Knave nodded.

"Kala, your on." The stage manager told the genie girl.

"I...I don't know if I can do this." Kala noted quickly.

"Think of your master." Zero said. "Neo's life is on the line here, if you don't perform, we might not be able to save him."

Kala stood there, as the stage manager re-entered and dragged the genie out onto the stage.

(Lost in thoughts all alone - Kala's Song)

"Embrace the Dark~" Kala started singing. "You call a home~ Gaze upon an empty white throne, a legacy of lies, a familiar disguise~" The genie started moving effortlessly, more than when she normally danced.

"There she is!" One of the guards called, "Get her!" A large squad of soldiers all came rushing towards the genie girl, pikes in hand, ready to kill.

"Sing with me a song, of conquest and fate~" She continuted to dance and sing between the spears. "The black pillar cracks beneaths it's weight~ Night break through the day, hard as a stone, lost in thoughts all alone~" She wove through spear after spear, knocking guards left and right without laying a finger on them. Though in the chaos of it all, Kala wasn't able to see everything. She missed the commotion going on in the tallest balcony. She missed the stage manager running to inform the rest of her team, she missed the javelin one of the guards threw at her, which landed right in it's target, Kala's stomach.

The genie girl stopped as soon as the pike hit. She fell to the ground as blood poured from her wounds. It didn't really hurt she was just suprised that it hit her. Her mind went blank, her body went numb, she was surrounded and she could hardly see a thing. Her thoughts drifted around, as they finally settled on Neo and the fact that now, she was going to die here, in an unknown place she shouldn't have been in the first place.

"Kala!" Zero called as soon as he arrived and pulled his scythe free, slicing two of the guards down.

"Leave the girl to bleed out, kill the rest of the rebels!" One of the leader guards called.

Knave pulled out his sword. "Everyone, out here!" He called to the rest of the Shadow Legion.

Octavia pulled her axe and slashed at the guards. B.A.I.R.C fired both of his drill arms at the guards.

Zapor threw fireballs at the guards.

As the guards began to fight with the rest of the Shadow Legion, the room began to spin for Kala. Once more, she didn't feel the pain, she was only surprised to get her, she reached down to her stomach and grabbed the spear, and pulled it out, her golden blood spilled out onto the ground even more now as she sat up. Her heart was beating so much faster now, and it made her entire body feel warm. A surge of power, larger than even Foxtrot, radiated off of her.

"What the hell?" Zero asked.

B.A.I.R.C whirlwind punched some guards and looked at Kala. "Her stats are....Over 900!"

Kala felt herself move on her own, as her heart glowed brighter than ever before, elements began to bend around her, Fire, Earth, Gravity, Air, Lightning, and Water all formed rings around her body as she began to stand up again, her eyes shifted from their natural color to a white color, the same as her heart. She began to sing once more, the same song as before, but this time in a language that could only be guessed to be Draconic. Zapor might be able to recognize that this was, in some way, similar to when he activated his full potential but also completely different. This was a Super Form.

(Lost in Draconic - Mystic Kala's Song)

Kala shifted the gravity in the room, and sent several different guards into the air by launching the ground up.

"Kill the genie! Make sure she dies this time!" The captain called.

"Protect Kala!" Zero told the Shadow Legion.

Zapor nodded and breathed a large amount of fire at the guards while B.A.I.R.C switched his arm to a cannon and shot an energy blast at the guards.

"Oh god..." Clock muttered to himself. "I can't kill people! I've got a moral code to keep!" He preferred to fire weak shots at the guards, hopefully only enough to knock them out.

Many of the guards seemed to be unaffected by the bolts from Clock, but the attacks from Zapor and B.A.I.R.C proved to be working, cutting through many guards.

Zapor shot the guards with fire bullets. "No scope!" He shouted.

Octavia swung downward at the guards with her axe.

"Great, just great..." Clock slightly upped the power, but he was clearly holding back.

Kala sent a large wave of water at the guards, sending a large amount of guards away.

BOOM!

A cannon had fired at the performance hall, sending it's giant ammo at the roof, causing it all to crash into the building.

B.A.I.R.C fired two missiles at the incoming rubble.

The rubble broke up even more, causing it to fall in much smaller units.

Zero stood in the center of the hall. "What is going on out there?"

Part 2 (B): The Heart of Battle
Delta walked along with Saren and Lexi higher into the performance hall's levels. Currently they were only on the second floor, and the highest balcony was on the top floor, no doubt the princess would be there. According to Knave it was the most well defended spot in the entire building and it is where most royals who came to watch would stay, as they would be perfectly safe up there. Except this time.

"This is wrong." Delta said. "If the princess is here, why are there no guards doing patrols? Kala hasn't started performing yet, and there has to be guards out on patrol! We're walking into a trap."

"Yeah.. Maybe there was faulty intel provided.." Saren muttered.

"And I haven't heard any gunshots from Zapor." Lexi added.

"I don't like this." Delta said. "What if-" BOOM. The first cannon fired into the building, smashing the roof into the middle of the building, destroying the top of the building.

"Hello." Came a voice as a woman, a tall black wolf, holding a crossbow in her arms, strut in the hall sexily. "How are you doing today?"

"What's going on?" Delta asked.

"Saren!" The voice called. "Kala is dying right now!"

"Our tactiction figured you would try to pull a stunt like this." She said. "You see, you all know her very well."

"Saren, we need to go rescure the genie." The voice urged Saren.

"Of course." Delta muttered. "Celia is your tactiction."

"She's so smart." The woman boasted. "And knows the perfect way to end all three of you at once. 'Course she reccomended we take you alive, but, I suppose if you were killed in the cannon fire, it can't be helped."

"Heh, fine.. Delta, Lexi.. Go back to save Kala, she's in danger.." Saren told the two. "I'll have some fun with the wolf here.."

"Are you gonna be able to handle her on your own?" Lexi asked.

"We're in an enclosed area, and as smart as Celia is.. I never revealed all of my tricks~" Saren told Lexi, a grin on his face as he twirled Dark Intent.

"No, your going to need those two." The woman said, holding a small item in her hand. "You forgot, it doesn't matter what tricks you have, Celia already knows how to out class them."

"She wrote all those Contingency Plans with Mercury..." Delta nodded. "If she had plans to kill anyone it would be you two."

"Don't feel left out, deary, we have plans for you to." The woman smiled evily.

"Not good..." The voice said. "Kill this bitch and you need to get to Kala. The children will mean nothing to her."

"Fine, fine." Saren spoke exasperatedy. "Lets do this lady, just know that I'm going to enjoy this, whoever you are.." Saren muttered as he took one step back and tossed Dark Intent at the wolf.

( I imagine this playing in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNqvtA0mgcA )

Lexi unsheathed her Devil Blade. "I really hope using a sword is as easy as Zak makes it look..." She muttered.

The Lady fired a bolt from her crossbow, causing it to land right in front of the group, it exploded revealing that it was a simple flare, but it's after effects proved it was Celia's work as it negated the ability to use any form of kinesis from all three, oddly enough Dark Intent was still perfectly fine. The Lady pulled the crossbow back as it transformed, moving parts around until it was a giant axe and met the scythe in mid air, sending it back to Saren.

"Knocking out your control of shadow." The scythe said. "Interesting tactic, but it means nothing, it only evens the playing field."

"Good, It'd be no fun if things weren't interesting!" Saren cackled, catching Dark Intent before going in for a swing at her legs, trying to see if he could still use Dark Intent's extending and retracting despite what the lady did.

Dark Intent extended towards the woman, but she quickly performed a back hand spring, doding the attack and fired three quick bolts at Saren.

Saren rolled to avoid the bolts on his path towards her, pulling out two daggers he tossed one at her while saving the other one for when the lady decided to get up close and personal.

The woman grabbed the dagger straight out of the air, her hand landing right on the blade, causing blood to run down the knife. "Oooh, sting's huh?"

"Too bad we're enemies.. Something tells me that you and I would've had a smashingly good time together~" Saren said, going for a precise slash with his knife aimed at the Lady's midsection.

"You look like you've never been satisfied." The lady said, parrying the dagger with her own, but using its hilt instead.

"Lexi we need to do something." Delta said. "Do you think we can get to the princess still?"

"I know! Right?" Saren agreed, going for a palm strike to the Lady's chest.

"We might if we hurry." Lexi told Delta. "Where is the princess?"
