Ami stared at the man who just threatened to kill him in the eye. She was calm, more calm than most people should be in this situation. She walked up to him, the man named Alucard, raised his katana and then yelled. "Don't come any closer or I shall kill you in a more messy and horrible way than it should." Ami simply just smiled. She walk until her face was just mere inches away from his.

"Fine." She dropped her weapons down to the ground. She then got into a position in which he could easily slice through her head with it.

He nodded emotionless, "I'm surprised that a criminal would give up so easily." He raised his Katana

"Alcard." The guildmaster started to say.

"Don't even bother old geezer. This is the business of the Magic Council and Rune Knights. Interfering with this execution will have you charged with aiding with a wanted criminal, which will also lead to death."

"Go ahead, you win. But what will you learn from winning? " She said.

He then got ready to swing the blade, "Nothing. I already learned everything I needed to learn. All I need now is to win." He brought down the blade and she smirked. A light shone against the blade, as she heard a yell.

"Light Make: Shield!" The man's eyes trailed to the one who made the shield, Darrel.

"You. Why did you stop this execution of a wanted criminal. You will be charged of aiding a criminal."

"Because I am a wanted criminal as well. My name is Darrel Linster. I was a former thief and troublemaker back where I came from. I was pardoned when I came to this guild, the guild of the Holy Bats. Here criminals can get the second chances they need. A, there was pardoned by the members of the Magic Council themselves."

"Hah, I can tell a lie when I see one. No need to defend her with your so called 'criminal' past. You are lying. Ami Fuuki here was not pardoned for anything at all."

"My name isn't Ami Fuuki, the evil shell of the girl I once was, I am A, the shadow Angel."

"Shut up you bitch."

"Actually Darrel there is correct." Fenton busted in. "My name is Fenton Prior, the guildmaster of the Holy Bats. I have a direct contact with one of them members of the council from this communication lacrima. You want to talk to them?" He held up a round orb.

"Give me that." He said. "Alcrad Date reporting for duty sir. -What! But sir, she's a wanted criminal she could be faking to be good while actually helping the dark guilds.- Give me a few good reasons why I shouldn't kill her...-Fine I won't."

He pointed a finger at her, "You are very lucky they pardoned you. But I am going to join this guild to watch over her."

Unlike the time when Ami joined, nobody cheered at this. He just glared at her, got his guildmark, a black bat on his right forearm on the upperside, went to the job board and grabbed a fist full of job requests and left. The guild soon returned to its normal cheerful self

"Darrel," Ami started. "You didn't have to protect me or lie."

"Why you were about to get killed. You would have if I wasn't there to save your ass!"

"I have a spell to keep me save. I was about to use it before you created a shield."

"Oh," Darrel said staring at the ground.

"Also, you didn't have to lie about being a criminal for me."

"No." He said, tears forming in his eyes. "I never lied. I actually used to live the life of crime just like you, although my crimes were just stealing items and money. My parents died when I was five. I was cast out on the streets. I learned from a few kind thieves who taught me how to steal. I lived in the alleyways for six years with them before I learned magic. I was signed in my dreams shortly after and I found my way to this guild where I've been living for the past seven years."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. It's fine I got my redemption just like you did." He stayed quiet for a few moments before perking up again. "How about we take a job. Have you ever taken one?"

"Does assassination jobs count?"

He frowned. "I guess so, but I'm guessing you never actually took a real light guild job?"

"Nope."

He smiled. "Alright then. Let's go on a job!"

"Ooo! Ooo! Can I come?" Genesis perked up.

"Fine, no pranks this time ok?" Darrel scolded the girl.

"Fine."

"Actually can I come as well." A second voice perked up, May's. "I'm running a bit low on money."

"Sure!"

A new voice popped up as well, but this time it wasn't actually a voice. "I'm back!"

A girl with silky blonde hair that ends up to her waist that is styled into a waterfall braid and round shaped amethyst colored eyes. Next to her a man with unkempt spiky red hair terminating in a long red ponytail and round light green eyes walk in. "Huh, I came back at the same time as Kayley." His eyes land on Ami. "Hey, you're a newbie right. Cause I never seen you before here."

"Yeah, just joined. I'm A."

"Hello A, I'm Matthew." He reaches out to shake her hand when a girl shakes it instead.

"Hi A, I'm Kayley. How are you today?" She said, or rather a voice boomed in her head.

"Telepathy?"

"Yup, I'm a Mental Magic user. I specialize in magic involving the mind. Matthew's a blood magic user. He uses blood. What's your magic?"

"Interesting I guess, I'm a takeover wizard."

"Cool!" She squealed out loud for the first time rather than just projecting it into her head. "Another takeover user, which brings us to two!"

"Ok, nice meeting you Kayley and Matthew. I'm going to take a job right now."

"Alright then. See you around!"

"Ok then." She then looked back at her mission partners. "So what job are we taking?"

Genesis then perked up. "I told Eli to surprise us. He's at the mission board picking one out for us." Right after she finished speaking, Eli came back with a job poster in his paws.

"Ok, this job requires us to go to the town of Mori to help the citizens there. It pays well too, 200,000 J per person." He states. Ami, Darrel and Genesis started nodding in satisfaction but the blood rushed out of May's face. She began to tremble a little but then kept a normal posture. "Alright then, Master we're going to take this job ok?" May said taking the job from Eli.

"Alright then. Have fun." He said.

"Alright then, let's go!" Ami smiled in delight. She felt as if her past was in the past already

Kayley belongs to Cloudsomniac

Matthew belongs to bored kid 48
