Introduction
In the city of Utopia, people where going through there daily routines. Shops where open everywhere, selling everything from food to magic items. Everyone seemed to be going about there business, despite the fact that any moment another earthquake could strike and tear the city apart. Walking through a crowded market, Peltin and Raven where arguing, with Akane Chiyoko and Taichi Marsh following behind them. Taichi was having a hard time beliving that they where actually teammates, while Akane simply looked annoyed that she had been split up from Zaraki.

"So your telling me I had to be dragged all the way down here because you screwed up?" Raven said mockingly, pointing at the bandages around Peltin's head. "Some S-Class you are."

"At least I made the cut." Peltin shot back, though it was unclear if he was poking fun, or trying to get on Raven's nerves. People parted to eather sides of the street as they walked past, not wanting to get involved with ether of the two mages.

"Are these two always like this?" Taichi asked when he looked over to Akane, he had seen guildmates arguing before so it wasn't new to him, but with those two, it was like a dog chasing after a cat because he gave him  a dirty look, it was something else.

"Don't worry, deep down their annoying cold hearts, they care about each other in a way, but they're too thick-headed to ever realize it" Akane replied as they continued to walk through the shopping arcade to check out some of the things they were selling.

Preoccupied with there comrades argument, the 4 mages hadn't noticed that the street noticeably became more empty. Sevral of the buildings looked damaged, and some where nothing but piles of ruble in the dirt. Finally taking not of his surroundings, Peltin stopped surprised. "Did we take a wrong turn somewhere?" he asked Taichi.

The air around them began to change, it felt as if an outside force was eminating from it as the area slowly began to turn dark, a few seconds later, one mage came in front of them in a hodded cloak as he looked at the group.

"A dark mage...." Tai said as the others prepared themselves and focused their magic on the person.
