Peter was walking through the marketplace, in his own little world, trying to regain at least enough memory to know where he was born. He tried and tried, but couldn't remember a thing. It wasn't until he saw the merchants screaming and running from a certain direction that he realized something was wrong.

Snapping out of his meditative state, he ran near where the four were, and the one playing a violin. That was when he saw the monster.

Running behind him to a weapon merchant's table, he scooped up fourteen quality daggers. Someone grabbed his arm. Looking down, it was the salesman hiding behind his table. 'You can't take those!'

'Please just shut up,' Peter shook the man's hand off. He ran to about 10 meters behind the fighters and laid out the daggers. He mumbled a quick spell, one of the only things he could remember, that made the daggers as sharp as they could be. He kneeled down behind them. He picked one up and, taking careful aim, and threw it at the monster.

He kept this up, knowing that the daggers themselves wouldn't do anything, but hopefully they would provide a distraction for the monster, giving the others a fighting chance.
 
AJ watched in pure amusement, he kept the violen beat steady, making sure to hit all the notes in the tune. He kept the violen bow in his hand as he etched rapidly on the violens strings, his palms starting to sweat slightly. He smiled as the tune echoed through his mind, he then started to near silently draw out the mystic words that would put the effect of great strength into the people in front of him.

" Esto... Renji... Lomis... Goro...Veris... Prism!" He mumbled slightly, his higher spells still required words to activate. Ones he had mastered however, could just play the tune.

AJ smiled as the magical music went into effect, the people fighting would soon become twice as strong as before, maybe enough to defeat the beast of the water, however this could be wishful thinking considering that most of the people in front of him were looking younger then him, only slightly though.

AJ winced as his music went the very slightest off beat, he had to pay attention more, or it would be the end of him.
 
As the music reached his ears, Hikaru turned to Nishi, clenching his fists. "Do you..." he began to ask, before she nodded. It wasn't his imagination, then: he really had felt a magical increase in his strength.

Nishi turned to the young girl wielding the moon blade. "To answer your question, Hikaru can't launch lightning magic. He's got one fire spell, three darkness, and the rest are nature. He's got something better though." With a grin, Nish flipped the blade of the sun in her hands so that the point was facing downward, and hammered it into the pier below her. "Alright, let's do this tamer style!" she growled removing the lasso from her shoulder.

Hikaru knew what came next. "Alright everyone! Stop that serpent as long as you can with any means necessary so that Nishi has a clear shot at it!" Not waiting to see if his orders were obeyed, Hikaru immediately reached a hand behind him, with his first two fingers pointing outward and the rest curled up to the base of his palm. "Flurrying shadows of blackness, bend to my will! Kastroth!" he murmured, before whipping his hand forward. Immediately, some ten or twenty shadows, solidified into ripping black knives of dark energy, shot along the beast's head, scraping the wounds where the kinfe-thrower's assault had already injured the beast.

"One more attack oughtta daze it enough that I can lasso it, or somethin'...." Nishi muttered, waiting impatiently for the oppurtune time to attack.
 
The violinist's music had reached Tsukai's ears, and she then felt a magical energy and strength boost.

"...Lasso? Wait, you're gonna try to tame that thing?" Tsukai was half-amused, half-mortified. "That thing's pretty big! I mean, even if you were to tame it, how would we move it around?"

"We could find a way, somehow, but now that Veinn needs it stunned," Neji said, his metallic voice urgent.

Tsukai started thinking, and snapped again. "Okay, let's try this!" Tsukai held the blade out like a baseball bat, and swung it, as if she was going to slap someone with it. Quickly, she thought as her arms locked forwards and she let the blade go. She immidiately closed her eyes and snapped. The blade again vanished. This time it appeared by the monster's head, smacking it. Tsukai willed the blade back, and then looked at the effect of her attack. The serpent looked more angry than dazed to her. Heh, that would have knocked me out... I guess I don't have think armor on my face though, do I?

"Maybe I could use that to distract it... Would it?" Neji asked, again raising his left arm.

"I dunno," she replied to Neji. Tsukai turned to look at the Veinn and asked, "Would a blast of heated light distract it long enough?"
 
Nishi turned to the girl with the moon blade. "Heated Light, y'say? That'll probably fry the thing. After all, it's essentially an overgrown fish. And by the by, we aren't moving it, it will be moving us. We can travel across the ocean with that thing. It'll just stay here 'til we need it." Whipping her lasso, Nishi leaped into the air, vaulting herself onto the back of the beast's head. "Eat this!" She yelled, crashing her fist into the beast's head. Not quite enough to stun it, but enough to move its head back. Perfect for firing.
 
'Outta the way!' shouted Peter as he grabbed the last dagger and dashed through the fighters, jumping off the dock. He grabbed the side of the monster, trying hard not to slip off the scales. He shimmied over to the back of the thing.

Climbing up its scales on its back, Peter held the dagger up and, with all his strength (which was even more thanks to the violinist), stuck it in the monster's back. The creature shook a little, jerking him from his position, causing him to fall off into the water.

OoC: Btw, I fixed that like, a week ago. o.o;
 
OoC: Sorry I haven't really checked this often lately. I've had too much to do.

Tsukai watched the blonde-haired person fall of the back of the great beast and land in the water below. "This is going nowhere fast..." Tsukai began desperately thinking. Again, she snapped. She cupped her hands together and her pendant began to shine and rapidly pulse. An orb of water formed in Tsukai's hands.

"Water? That won't work against this thing!" Neji shouted over the monster's roaring.

"You'll see!" She replied. She spread her hands apart, which were still cupped, until her arms were parallel. The globe water then expanded to touch both of Tsukai's hands. Next, she lifted her hands up, the water following. She then flattened her hands out, turning the water into a sheet. She manuvered this sheet of water until she saw a spot of light on the water serpent's head. "There we go..." She said, her voice strained as she was having to put a lot of effort into controlling this much water. She turned the sheet a bit more, and one of the serpent's pupils immidiately shrank, the blinding light stunning it.

"So that's what you were doing..." Neji said.

"Now's your chance!" Tsukai called to the Tamer.
 
"Oh, YEAH! I owe you a free ride on our new pet!" yelled Nishi, gleefully, as the serpent reared back. Flipping her rope expertly, she leaped into the air, spreading her wings. She would only be able to glide for a moment, but that was all she needed. Whirling and spinning the rope, she launched the lasso at the serpent's head. The loop neatly passed around it. Though the monster thrashed, there was no escaping.

Hikaru stood on the dock, fidgeting. "Nishi, say the friggin' incantation before the fish gets away!" he yelled angrily, brandishing his blades.

"Fine, fine. Jeez, give me a break, Mr. Action." Nishi groaned, before pulling the rope taut. "Alright, listen to me you stupid furball or else!" she shouted.

For a moment, nothing seemed to happen. Then a shock of magic energy shot down the rope like an arrow, sending bolts of light spreading across the creature's body. When they cleared, the monster was sitting there, calm as can be, without a trace of the rage it had been experiencing only moments before. Docilely, it swam next to the dock, and extended its tongue. Nishi didn't have time to fall back, and was forced to helplessly accept the beast's "kisses".

"Ugh! Gross!" she complained, wiping her body off. Turning to the girl holding the moon's blade, she took a moment to smooth down her hair before announcing, "I'm Nishi, descendant of the sun. I'm a pure-bred desert dweller, and a monster tamer by proffesion. That bundle of incensed spells," she said, jabbing a finger in Hikaru's general direction, "Is my partner, Hikaru, proffesional spell blade and world's biggest nuisance."

"I heard that!" Hikaru replied, smiling. "No need to be so rude, Nishi, after all, I'm quite the charmer when I need to be."

"Yeah, snake charmer maybe, but charmer charmer? Uh-uh, no way." replied the Veinn, rolling her eyes. Moving closer to the young Kukuria, she whispered "You get used to him after a while."

"Once again, I heard that." Hikaru broke in as he stared at the monster. "I don't get it," he muttered, "Why would something like this just up and attack a village? Normally they're fairly docile unless something agitates them, I thought..."
 
Sighing, Peter swam to the dock and pulled himself up onto it. He spat out the water he had collected in his mouth, and shook off like a dog.

'Ugh,' he said, 'I really don't like water...'

He walked over to the others, 'Hey, I'm Peter..' He looked down and noticed that he had a giant gash on his leg that he didn't even feel. 'What the...'
