When Devils Collide

The sun was high above, shining brightly on the clear blue body of water near what was supposed to be an isolated part of the beach, near large mountains. The isolation due to the fact, that recently a group of dark mages had taken refuge there threatening any who may enter their newly self-proclaimed base. These dark mages creating a ruckus on the beautiful beach, trashing it the longer they stayed. Fighting, drinking, partying all day and all night as the days passed. Unfortunately for them, their days would not last for too long, though it was not because of the actions of a would be hero that would drive them away and save the day, but rather a powerful storm was headed their way. As before they made their way to the beach, they were tasked with stealing magical weapons for a certain Dark Mage. A certain dark mage that never received said weapons. That mage being Mao, who was one of the S-class mages of the ever elusive and super secret Phoenix Rising. Mao had found them easily enough after they failed to meet at the pre-determined destination. Approaching the beach, with no intention of hiding his presence or surprising his targets. Full of confidence and anger, Mao walked straight up to them displaying no fear. In fact, Mao said nothing as he began to barrage the dark mages with powerful flames as one by one, they were turned to dust. Until finally only one remained.

"Where are the Weapons?" asked Mao with a serious tone as he held the last surviving mage in one hand and exuded a powerful flame in his other.

"It was the leaders idea to use the weapons as leverage for more money.....Ple..pleaaasee, I was just following orders." Proclaimed the dark mage as he was sobbing and begging for his life. Mao lifted his free hand close to the dark mage's face forming an orb of fire ready to destroy the frightened mage."okay! Okay! i'll tell you where they are" mumbled the dark mage with great difficulty not being able to speak properly. Though Mao let the frightened mage go as he was interrupted by a voice quickly approaching from behind.
