Lizzorette looked outside from the window. Rain was pouring down, no one outside. All the things she could she was some frogs.
"It's raining...I hate rain..."
"What are you mumbling about? This is your first mission!", said Stellar to her master
"Yeah, I know... well, let's take a look around! Maybe we can find some clue.", said Lizzorette to her talking bird
"Hm...a guy named Lucky huh?", said Lizzorette when she looked at a picture

Their first stop was a butcher. "Excuse me, do you know a guy named Lucky? I heard he live around here. I have the picture of him, here it is"
At once, that store became quiet. Everybody was starring at Lizzorette and started wispering. "Does anyone know?", asked Lizzorette. No one paying attention, "Does anyone know", she asked them for the second time. "Come on master, it's useless...let's go to other places", said Stellar
Lizzorette was wondering what happen with those people. "It's weird...", said Lizzorette when she left the butcher
The second stop was a restaurant. Lizzorette asked the same thing, but it happened again. No one paying attention. Not only the first stop and the second stop, but also the third stop and the fourth stop. Lizzorette left those places without get anything. "What's wrong with all of them?!", grumble Lizzorette
"Are you that curious to find that guy?", said someone behind her. She looked back at once and found a girl hiding behind a tree.
"Yes, do you know this guy?", asked Lizzorette
"Un...", said that girl
"Can you tell me about him? I'll buy you candies!"
"OK!", said that girl. They talked, talked, and talked.
"Thank you for the info", said Lizzorette, "It's a secret OK? Don't tell anybody!", said that girl, "Un, it's a promise...", said Lizzorette
"You heard that? Let's go!", said Stellar

"Hm...so this is his mansion. I have no doubt about it.", said Lizzorette
"I'll go inside, you wait here!", said her again
"What, waiting here?", said Stellar
Lizzorette pushed the bell. "Welcome! Young master will be here at once", said Lucky's servant
"Humph! What's this all about? A beggar come into my mansion.", said Lucky when he down the stair, "Well, I have no money for such a people like you. Get lost!", shouted him
"I don't want your money. You're arrested because of black mail.", said Lizzorette
"Hump! You know nothing about black mail, brat!", he shouted for the second time
"Well, I have no other way then. I have to make you surrender...", said Lizzorette
The fight has begun. Lucky attakced Lizzorette with fire and Lizzorette transformed a vase into water for her defend. They fought for hours. It was hard to predict who'll be the winner. Lucky was one of tough enemies. In the end, the winner was Lizzorette. With blooded body Lizzorette said, "It's not like your name huh,'Lucky'?", then she smiled

There was no way out. Lizzorette was trapped in a burning wooden mansion. "Cough...cough...my vision is blurry...where's the way out?"
"My alchemy won't work here, everything is...cough...cough...burning"
While Lizzorette was searching for the way out, woods was keep falling. Some of them blocked the way out. "Cough...cough...what, it blocked! No, I can't stand it..." Lizzorette was exauted, she lost her conciusness, "...it's useless...", said her and she began to cry
Suddenly, the rain was pouring down. It wet Lizzorette's sad face, but it couldn't wake her.

"She woke up!", said Stellar
"Ngg...where am I?"
"Thank God, you're OK ... ... never ever do that again! You almost killed your self!", said Stellar
"How's Lucky?"
"He's OK. He is 'lucky'..."
Lizzorette looked outisde and she said, "Rain ... ... it was rain ... ... I love rain...", said Lizzorette

SAE Story

Roy yawned loudly, using the back of his hand to eradicate the warm drool that began to pool at the corner of his right lower-lip. The young man stared at the emergency mission note that hand been handed to him by an anxious young messenger before gazing at the setting orange sun.

Dear Participants,

We've got the information that the little daughter, Yasmina Tria, the one and only child of Senator Christopher Tria, has been kidnapped.

Koharu, General of AP Alchemists

Roy ran his hand through his jet black hair and whined to no one in particular, “Why me? Why such a mission at a time like this? If I don’t finished reading this stupid novel, I’ll look uneducated and barbaric in front of all those gorgeous females at tomorrow’s book club.”
“But you don’t have a choice, sir. The higher-ups have sent you a mission. You can’t pick and choose your assignments,” the anxious messenger managed to squeak.
“Mmm?” Roy pulled his gaze from the evening horizon and stared blankly at the messenger, “You’re sill here? I thought you had left already. No matter. Well, rest assured, I’ll handle this mission. I’m sure it will be a piece of cake. Tell General Koharu not to worry. This mission is as good as completed.”
Reassuring words issued, Roy headed back to his room, changed into his black night-mission fatigues, called for his accomplice, Indiana, with a soft quick whistle, and headed out after the kidnapped girl. A subtle smirk made its way across Roy’s face as the studied the mission assignment once more.
Glancing at his right shoulder the man said with confidence, “Alright Indiana, the details of this message are sketchy at best, but let’s use some logical shall we?”
The silky slate blue and white rat twitched her nose and bobbed her head.
“Being in such a position of power, Senator Tria spares no expense when it comes to security detail for his immediate family. His mansion is made entirely of flame-retardant stone, with reinforced aluminum alloy for added resistance. In addition, we know that the Senator has a platoon’s worth of well trained infantrymen on constant outside patrol,” Roy began.
Indiana shifter her weight on the man’s shoulder.
Roy continued, “Ergo, in order for someone to successfully infiltrate and escape with Tria’s daughter, our adversaries must be well versed in the art of evasion, close-ranged martial arts, and use alchemy with a specialized focus in atomic elemental-breakdown. There’s only one group whose description fits and that’s Failed Biology. Which means, we’re going after their leader, Marquis de Balthazar.”
Indiana squeaked and hopped into Roy’s hood.
Roy sprinted through the shadows making his way from Headquarters to Failed Biology’s last known hang-out, the dilapidated water-front pub, The Marred Mariner.

As he neared the squalid water-front, Roy slowed his sprint and began scanning his surroundings. Tiny rot-infested wooden shacks and unkempt store-fronts crowded each other, as seedy scam-artists and beleaguered drunks traversed the narrow, garbage infested streets in a harrowing dance of shattered ambition. Grungy stray cats hissed and darted between passer-bys including Roy. The man felt his hood shudder violently.
“Not a fan of cats, eh Indiana?” Roy chuckled, “No worries, I will protect you. That‘s a promise.”
Roy leaned against the back of a small bodega in disrepair which lay adjacent to the Marred Mariner. A row of three small windows ran across the top floor, and the access ladders that had once graced the side of the building now lay in broken and twisted pieces on the cold street below. The rest of the building’s side was barren--no doors or windows on either the first or second floors. Except for occasional stirring from within the shadows of the alley, the building and its surroundings were silent. A steady salty breeze blew in from the sea and the stream of patrons making their way into and out of the Marred Mariner was thinning.
From within the shadows behind Roy came the sound of a glass bottle shattering. Without moving, the man quickly assessed his situation as he narrowed his eyes, “Alright Indiana, looks like we’ve let our back-defenses slip. You know what to do.”
Roy whipped around as Indiana leapt form his hood. She darted out in front of Roy, arched her back, puffed up her fur, and belted out a shrill squeak. A cacophony of guttural bellows erupted from the shadows as three chimeras revealed themselves from the dark crevasses of the alley. The three hulking beasts, composed primarily of tiger, crocodile, and boar, rushed towards the rat. Indiana darted quickly towards the Marred Mariner as a bright flame blazed its way across the street and into the rotted wood wall. As the dust and debris settled after the initial explosion, Indiana darted through the tiny opening Roy had made for her safe escape. Unable to follow their quarry, the three chimera turned their pursuit towards Roy. Dark eyes narrowed in concentration, the man followed the movements of the beasts methodically.
Roy waited until the first beast that charged was within ten feet of him, before leaping agilely backwards. Quickly shifting his weight, the alchemist sprung sideways and snapped his fingers quickly. A large barrage of flames quickly snaked their way along the ground towards the chimera. Roy moved his hand through the air, guiding the flames until they had encased the first beast in a circular hellfire. Another quick snap caused the wall of flames to double in height before closing in on the helpless target.
A roar of anguish pierced through the silent night as the charred chimera fell to the ground. Roy’s nose twitched as the pungent smell of singed flesh and putrid sulfur wafted in his direction. The remaining two chimeras lunged towards Roy. Unable to play with the oxygen elements in the salty air to his satisfaction, slammed his palm to the ground in a hasty and rather half-assed manner. The alchemist cringed and braced himself for the fangs of the beasts.
“Come on, come on!” Roy muttered as the blood-lusting chimera closed in on their quarry. A large rumble made its way from the depths and errupted into a large earthen wall. Unable to stop, the two chimeras crashed loudly into the wall. Roy staggered to his feet, exhaling loudly as he sprinted away from the beast. The earthen wall, composed primarily of dirt and clay began to crumble faster than Roy had anticipated and the alchemist was quickly on the defense.
The man snapped his fingers causing a wall to separate him from his pursuers as he began to set up his next move. Taking a deep breath, the man slammed both palms to the ground, concentrating heavily on his earth defense. Summoning a large cage, the man encased the remaining chimeras. With one palm firmly planted on the ground, Roy used his right hand to conjure his flames. He weaved the flames in between the bars before intensifying the flames. With a forceful snap, the flames combusted violently causing the earthen bars to project inwards slightly in front of the heat blast. Shards of baked earth and searing flames pelted into the chimeras’ thick skin. The beasts squealed and flailed viciously before incinerating into dust.
Roy slumped down to the ground and panted heavily. Wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his forearm the man glanced at the Marred Mariner. The alchemist watched as Indiana scurried from the building to where the man sat. The rat approached the man and stood up quickly on her hind feet. She swayed rhythmically from side to side, bobbing her head and twitching her nose.
Roy studied his cohorts moves unable to contain the thin smirk that spread across his face, “She’s on the third floor, eh? Not surprising. Are you sure there are no guards?”
Indiana returned to all fours and twirled in a tight circle before propping herself up on her hind legs.
“Okay, so it’s just Marquis then? Obviously he’s over-rating his abilities if he feels he is adequate protection for his kidnapped prisoner. Let‘s go Indiana. Stay in my hood, I can handle the Marquis.”
Indiana squeaked as Roy held out his hand. The rat hopped quickly onto the man’s arm, climbed his shoulder, and bounced into his hood. With Indiana secured, Roy stood up and headed to the pub’s side. Planting one palm firmly on the ground, the alchemist used an elevating chunk of earth to left him to the windows above. With a quick snap the metal locks fastening the window to the wooden sill melted away. Roy opened the window carefully and slipped into the dark hallway.
As Indiana had informed, the hallway was empty. Roy listened intently at the muffled cries coming from behind the door at the end of the hall. Swiftly the alchemist made his way to the door and placed his ear to the wall. Motioning signals to Indiana, the man crouched down silently. Indiana made her way to the floor and set herself up on the opposite side of the door. Roy burned a small hole in the wall next to Indiana. A quick nod sent the rat into the room as Roy stood up and snapped his fingers. The door separating him from a young Yasmina Tria exploded in a violent array of chunks and pieces. Using the thick dust for cover, Roy charged into the room blindly, led by Indian’s squeaks. The alchemist zig-zagged his way through the thick smoke and to the young girl. Yasmina peered through the smoke at Roy, her round brown eyes, wide with terror. Roy mustered his best smile and quietly whispered in her ear,
“Don’t worry. I’m here to take you home. Your father is quite worried.”
Yasmina nodded, though she stared at her rescuer quizzically.
Roy burned through the tight ropes that were binding Yasmina, and as gently as he could, nudged her in the direction of Indiana.
“This is Indiana,” Roy nodded, “she’s my best friend and will lead you out to safey. Follow her and stay close. She will protect you.”
Yasmina opened her mouth in protest, but Roy shot her a stern glance. The girl’s lip began to tremble, and Roy could see the girl’s eyes beginning to glisten.
“Please don’t cry. The Marquis is in here, and I refuse to let him hurt you. You must go with Indiana,” Roy deliberated his words for a moment, “she’s very friendly. I promise. Think of her like a dog, but smaller…and a rat.”
The girl sniffled and nodded. She cracked a small smile and did her best soldier salute, “Okay. I will.”

Roy watched as Indiana led Yasmina safely towards the door and into the hall. He then began to scan the room for the Marquis. The alchemist could not detect any noise or movement from within the smoke-filled room.
“Are you done playing, young alchemist?” a callous voice boomed through the smoke.
Roy whirled around and faced the direction from where the voice had come.
“That was quite a show for such a armature break-in.”
Roy smiled, “For a syndicate leader, I would have expected more of a challenge!”
“Don’t flatter yourself, the AP Alchemists must be short staffed if they are sending half-assed alchemists like you to stage rescue operations.”
“Talk is cheap old-man, let’s do this like real alchemists,” replied Roy.

As Roy watched a shadow emerge from where the Marquis’ voice had been, the Marquis charged at him from behind. Roy countered quickly in surprise but his counter-attack had been off-balance. The off-balanced maneuver caused the young alchemist to crash foward heavily into the wooden floor. As the alchemist pulled himself to his feet a sharp pain ripped into his right shoulder. Roy felt a heavy weight clamping down from behind, and as he turned his dark eyes widen in surprise as his eyes met with those of a chimera.
Shit! Where the hell did he come from? Roy thought as the pain in his bleeding should intensified.
Quickly the alchemist slammed his trembling hand against the wall behind him, sending sharp wooden spears hurling into the chimera’s body. The malformed creature released his bite as it writhed in pain. Roy engulfed the creature in flames as the Marquis made another attack. Roy barely dodged the Marquis’ fist, as a barrage of punches and kicks pummeled through Roy’s defense.
I’m so busy blocking his close-combat I don’t have time to use alchemy. damn it.
The Marquis laughed, “What’s wrong alchemist? I thought you wanted a battle?”
Roy winced as the wounds in his should ripped wider with every attempted defensive block.
“You seem a bit pale, perhaps we should end this game?” the Marquis mocked, stopping his attack and jumping backwards.
Roy watched as the Marquis clenched his fist. As it began to glow, the Marquis slammed it into the ground causing the wooden planks to shatter and accelerate towards Roy. The young alchemist slammed his palms down send up a earthen barrier to deflect the wooden shrapnel. Sweat dripping heavily down his round face, Roy darted out from behind his wall and charged the Marquis.
The Marquis scowled and sent another barrage of wooden shrapnel at Roy. Roy snapped his fingers quickly, sending a wall of flames snaking forward. The searing orange-yellow flames vaporized the shrapnel and continued towards the Marquis. The marquis smirked and dodged the oncoming flames, which crashed into the wall, causing a load explosion as the wall was blown out. The smoke and dust of the room was quickly sucked through the gaping hole and Roy turned to face his opponent.
The Marquis laughed loudly, “Not bad for a rookie, but let’s see if you can dodge this next one!”
With a red flash the Marquis sent both fists into the floor, converting large chunks of floorboard into sharp skewers. The Marquis launched the projectiles at Roy, who was crouched close to the ground panting heavily. As the projectiles neared, Roy took a deep breath and began a barrage of snaps from both hands. A myriad of round white flames began to merge into the shape of a giant rat. The flame-rat howled and charge foraward incinerating the uncoming projectiles. The Marquis began to turn and run but was stopped in his tracks as a jagged spear ripped through his left leg. Blood squirted from his thigh as the man screamed in agony. The Marquis turned towards the giant flame-beast pounced on him, instantly vaporizing his body.
With one trmebling hand planted firmly on the floor and the other still directing the flame-rat, Roy placed his head between his knees as his caught him breath. The giant flame-beast dissipated into the air as the alchemist rolled onto his back, heaving dramatically.
“This is not how I planned my night.”
After catching his breath, Roy headed wearily down the hall and to the water-front street. He met up with an excited Indiana and a shy smiling Yasmina. He shot the young girl a thumbs-up as he crouched down and extended his free hand to Indiana. The rat jumped quickly up the man’s arm and into his hood. He stood up and scratched the back of his neck as he stared at the young girl.
“Ready to go home?”
The girl nodded.
Roy began walking but stopped as his noticed Yasmina had not moved.
“What’s wrong?”
Yasmina pushed her foot into the dirty street.
Roy rubbed his face, “Indiana’s in my hood, she won’t bother you.”
Yasmina shook her head, “That’s not it.”
“Well,” Roy began, “What’s wrong?”
Yasmina stuck out her hand, “daddy holds my hand when we walk home.”
Roy looked around quickly, “You want to hold my hand?”
The young girl nodded fervently.
Roy sighed, but then I won’t look like a single and eligible bachelor.
Yasmina kept her hand extended, still staring at the alchemist.
Roy sighed again, “Alright, but only until we get back to Headquarters.”
“Okay, you have a deal, Mr. Protecting-Flame Colonel.”
“The name’s Roy, and you can thank me by coming along to my book-club tomorrow and explaining the gorgeous ladies why I was too busy to read my book.”
Yasmina grinned, her brown eyes lighting up, “Sure thing, Mr. Protecting-Flame Colonel.”

Only one story so far ... come on people, don't be intimidated by FCR's story xD

His story long so come we need more people to take the test

...
come on guys you've time up to friday

I wanna post for the new task ('bout the stolen potion)

It's a cold night.I'm walking to those robbers' hideout w/ the task paper in my hand.I must bring back the potion 4512xB w/ the robbers.But, after I arrived 2 wolf-human were waiting in front of the hideout."Security, huh?" I said to myself.They're ready to attack.The 1st wolf-human attacked me but he missed.Then the 2nd wolf-human attacked me.Too bad, I couldn't avoid it.So,he scratched me.But it's not a serious problem."Nice.But I don't have any business w/ you" I said to them.I clapped my hands & touched the 2nd wolf-human.He froze.After that,the 1st wolf-human tried to attack me again.But I jumped,clapped my hands & touched his head.Now,those 2 wolf-humans are frozen.I looked at the task.

the task

make sure to eliminate all wolf-human

So I destroy those wolf-humans into ice pieces. & now, it's time to attack the robbers' hideout.

The hideout is an old barn.I opened the door & saw those robbers were sitting & looked surprised when I came.There were 6 robbers.I don't want to do my task slowly so I clapped my hands & made the barn start to freeze.Then, many ice needles came out from the barn's wall & started to attack them.I thought this'll be easy.But, I was surprised that 2 of them didn't injured.They're alchemists!I made an ice sword & started to attack them again.But,it's pretty hard to fight w/ 2 alchemists alone.So I thought for a while."what's wrong, want to give up?" asked 1 of them.I clapped my hand & touched the barn's wall.Many ice chains come out.They thought it's just an ordinary ice chains so they want to destroy those chains.But when they touched the chains w/ their hands,their hands started to freeze.Now, it's easier for me.I froze the 2 alchemists hands & feet 1st.Then I freeze the other robbers so they won't run away.
After that I called the headquarter.They came fast.When I was ready to go.1 of them asked me "hey,where's the potion?"."Oh yea,I forgot!" I answered.So I walked through those robbers & took the potion from the robbers' leader's pocket."here you go" I threw the potion to 1 of them."whoa!You better be careful." he said."Hehehe...Sorry." I said.Then, I went home while they were taking the robbers to the headquarter.
