I

From the highest building of Genessia city emerged a dark and unwavering light. It lifted up into the heavens. It brought with it obsidian smoke swirling around the light as if a shroud of darkness. In an instant the bright skies lost its light. Thick black clouds descended from the heavens. They tossed, tumbled and seemingly kissed the city's skyline. It was noon and yet the sun was no where in sight. With all light, it stole all happiness from people who saw the dreaded skies.

Loud booms, sizzles and crackles were heard beyond the clouds - as if a prelude to the coming event. This lasted a while before everything became hauntingly silent. Nothing could be heard. Everything, from the ground to the skies were silenced.

Waiting.

Aching.

And finally welcoming.

The skies glowed eerily. Dark hues of crimson, azure and silver lined certain portions of the skies. Then a white light glowed. A light which ripped through the space between ground and skies, leaving a crisp sound in its wake. The lightning bolt was strong enough to make the very ground quake at its presence. After a moment of silence, similar bolts of lightning hit different areas of the city. Continuously. Relentlessly.

Following the thunderstorms, came a foul stench raining from the skies. It smelt like rotten eggs. Suffocating. It was Burning Sulfur. With the stench came black flaming orbs which plummeted wantonly on the buildings of Genessia City. It burned anything it could get its hands on.

The terrible weather continued for at least five minutes after it had started. Never softening. Just ending abruptly after it had left most of the city in flames.

II

Not too long after the skies started to brighten, after people assumed a crude state of sanity, an ominous circle of light emerged on top of Genessia Hospital. For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence. But slowly, the circle of light expanded its terrain. Soon, it was large enough to cover the entire medical building. But still it remained silent. For people who have affinity for arcane magic, they can sense the power flowing through the circle - an energy devoid of any positive light.

A minute after the circle first appeared, the land beneath it started to quake. Every pillar and every wall shivering and threatening to fall. Then, the same fire storm that was released around the city was concentrated to fall upon the hospital building. A barrage of obsidian flames fell to the building one after another. Never stopping until the building itself hasn't fallen. After the building has crumbled the flames slowly dwindled into the bright glow of scarlet flames.

((OOC: Each part here comes after each part from Lucifer's Video Feed. So Part I from the feed comes before Part I of the Log. Each section here will be divided to sections deemed appropriate for the event. Any further questions can be addressed from the ooc-community post or from this journal. Fights Lucifer will get into are limited due to ic (after his little show, it'll be too much if he can still fight a horde of people) and ooc reasons (basically too many fights will drive me bananas).))

I appreciate the concern, but, it's gonna take more than lightning to stop me. I can tell you aren't familiar with Fairy Tail, so I'll let you in on a little secret.

We don't give in to fate. If the only option available to us is death, we live on to spite destiny. We keep living because we're more worried about how our deaths would affect others rather than out of our own selfish desires.

[He grins, unleashing his aura, and cloaking himself in magic power.]

That is Fairy Tail. That is what makes us strong, and I will live through this, no matter what.

Fine.

[She shrugs and then turns away from Gildarts. She'd use her rocket boosters, but as it was, she was already trying to conserve energy.]

Admirable. But that still doesn't make you immortal. So keep your guild and the rest of the city alive.

[crash_mage]

I've got friends that can eat lightning and fire, create exceptionally intricate ice sculptures and mechanisms from thin air, can heal practically any kind of wound... I think I'm set.

[He grins, pounding a fist to where his guild brand sat on his chest.]

Never underestimate Fairy Tail.

[luckymonster]

That's good then. And I'm not underestimating you. I am genuinely fearful of this shroud over our heads.

[That meant she doesn't have to worry about them during the duration of the chaos.]

Stay safe, Gildarts.

[With that, she dashes to the next street, to hopefully help people there.]
