Once prodded away and torn away from the pleasant dream of the plains, Rayl had gotten to his feet and had already saddled up, offering Katara a ride upon his horse, which was now shaking it's head restlessly for it did not like what was currently going on," I'm still in-" Rayl let out a slight yawn here, and then stretched slightly before continuing," Well I didn't take as big of a beating as the rest of you, but a fight with all of us in such a condition is ill-advised Richter." around this point he also heard what was going with this newcomer and the accusations against him, and had readied his lance, though not with the intent of attacking this man," Anyone who is an enemy of this 'High Inquisitor' fellow is a friend, if only temporary, of ours. Come on everyone, we must leave...Now! Sir Matis, your orders?"
All in all Matis was, in Rayl's eyes, his commander.

The captain didn't even respond to the Saecean lady's insults. The captain himself was a hero. He must not listen to these bandits, their lies. He had seen the light and all that he could feel was a burning rage for what they had done to the Saint. Luckily his Prophet had shown him the way and the blessings of Her Martyrdom. He will do as planned and waving his arm once again, a second wave of attackers was released. If these rebels stood, they would surely die. His blood was boiling with fury and he hoped he could at least one or two, before scaring the others off. The Pink one seemed to make a stand, he was his.

Hiro knew these guys wasn't playing around. When he was captive all hell broke lose on the group that gave him that nasty knot on his head. Seeing that basturd was so intent on fighting he'll be his meat shield as he escaped. "Go get them bucko" Hiro said as he raised his leg up, knee to his chest, and thrusted it at Richter pushing him towards the charging men.(OoC:Well attempted that part)
The force of the kick sent Hiro stumbling back and falling. Seeing Katara ready to fight he quickly got up and got near her. "Please trust me, if you were to trade blows with them only thing that will come is more. Leave that fool to die on his own, the world can't lose such a beauty as yourself." Kraft was taking it too far if he would allow his mean to harm women that Hiro's yet to 'know' Looking around Hiro threw in a suggestion. "Just retreat, their leader is a mad man."

Suddenly in a flash Athos had appeared. "You're needed elsewhere." Raising his staff up the party had been teleported to Bern, in the big open spot where Kenshin and co were standing.

OoC: Wein is still in the boat...lol. I don't know what happened to Sireace, so I'm just going to post as if Wein thinks he's the only person on the boat, and if Sireace comes back, she can be in the lower cabin.
Wein heard the commotion and looked up from his resting point on the boat. A horde of Etrurian soldiers was storming at the party. As they got closer, an old man appeared, and just as quick as the old man arrived, he and the party vanished. Wein was left sitting alone in the boat, with the dead body of a stranger to accompany them. "Oh crap..." he said softly to himself.
He then realized the dead body. This man was an Etrurian fugitive right? Was everyone he joined up with fugitives of the Etrurian state? Not wanting to be caught with any evidence, Wein dumped the body overboard and ducked back down into the boat, hoping the army would pass him by.

The captain blinked. They were... gone. Surely this must be the works of demons! He must report this to his master, he will know what to do. The thief was teleported as well. He had done what he planned on doing, for now, he was safe. The gallows will not be waiting for him, who knows, maybe he will be praised and be safe for eternity blessed by both the Prophet and the Saint. He and his soldiers searched the area and consoled people. Eventually they settled down and waited for the night to come. He hoped that there would be no more rebels.

There are many bad ways to wake up.
Sick or hungover would be one.
With a knife to your throat would be another.
In prison would be yet another.
Waking up with one of your arms on fire after nearly killing friends and the person you loved most of all, had to be at the top of that list.
With a scream of agony consciousness attacked him again. He felt the fire, he felt the flames lick at his flesh. And then, as suddenly as they began, they ended. Panting heavily, Lumino struggled to look up, to lean up. It was then he noticed....
His left arm, the one destroyed in his backlash of magic when he fought Alan, it had burned away to nothing. He didn't even feel pain from it now, it simply was not there, the stump completely sealed. But that revelation was nothing compared to what he saw before him, and as he started to rise, he fell again to his knees.
Half the docks frozen solid, with the other half either on fire, or vaporized to ash. Fragments of ice resembling limbs and peoples bodies lying everywhere, burning homes and the smell of burning flesh filling the air. And his mind pulled back things better forgotten.
A woman's face, frozen in horror as he vaporized her husband and child to ash in front of her. A man attempting in vain to shield a women from the chilling winds, and them both being frozen to the cold. And a mother, a women pregnant with child, he almost deliberately stabbed her through the stomach, to kill her child?
It was only now that the face swam into his head, his body shaking with realization as the name found it's way to his lips. "K-katara....I....I..."
He'd tried to kill her. And it wasn't because of the magic, it wasn't because of Hargus...
It was because of his jealousy. His anger, his frustration, his loss. He...he should die. He deserved to die.
He looked around the docks, and he heard it, heard it over his thoughts. Heard the screaming. The anguished cries of people left alive, and people left alone. He had no right to help, he had no right to even breath this polluted air. And most assuredly no right to ever repeat this tragedy again.
He didn't deserve rest, he didn't deserve peace. He deserved punishment.
"I can never make it right, I can only atone..."
The magic books of spells long since forgotten made excellent fuel for the fire that consumed the lives of hundreds.

Wein looked up from his hiding spot. There was death and carnage everywhere. It was indeed harrowing. Everyone was dead. Wait... A green haired boy was slowly getting up. He was missing an arm. From what Wein could see, the boy had burned scar tissue all over his body, especially around his arm, or lack thereof. "Hey!" he yelled at the boy, pulling himself out of the boat. This kid must have gotten caught up in the crossfire. "Hey, are you alright?" Wein dashed over to the boy.
