In the outskirts of Fayren, on the edge of the forest, there's a nice secluded spot where a small hill resides. By all accounts, today is a day like any other. The weather is as predicted, and nothing out of the ordinary seems to be happening for a change. That is... until around noon.

What can only be described as an explosion of purple energy engulfs the area surrounding the hill. It forms a dome of swirling energy that can be seen from some distance. Anything it touches is pulled into the dome and ripped apart until there's nothing left. When the dome finally recedes, all that is left is a barren crater. A few wisps of smoke rise from disparate parts of the crater, but at its center is a lone figure, panting and almost... growling to himself.

Mewtwo has left yet another mark on the wilds of Fayren.

And a minute or so after the explosion Mewtwo would feel something light settle gently on top of his head. Something light and very sweet smelling... It was a wreath of flowers, carefully put together from a variety of colors and styles. It was surprisingly well balanced.

"Purple thing." He could hear Koishi but he couldn't see her. "Are you upset? Please don't be. The flowers smell nice. They always help my sister calm and focus her mind because of their sweetness. So please don't be upset."

Oh. There she was. Kinda. He could see her sitting in a nearby tree but only out of the corners of his vision. It didn't seem intentional. Perhaps she was just having some trouble focusing.

[psychic_supremecy]

The flowers lasted half a second before being ripped apart by unseen forces. Mewtwo was not in the mood for flowers.

"I have been calm for years, Koishi. For years I have sat and meditated, and played the part of a good citizen all while my entire body cried out for battle. There are no suitable opponents, and I had to do something. Do not interfere."

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi was sitting there, kicking her feet a little bit. "I'm not interfering I just want to help you out. You're really young, Purple Thing. Fighting against your own nature is the hardest thing to do." She should know. "And you know I'll always scuffle with you if you want. All you need to do is ask." Of course if they did 'scuffle' he wouldn't win. And they both knew it.

"Have you tried burning the clouds out of the sky yet?" It was always a last resort request when Okuu got upset. Either that or melting the permafrost in old hell. "Not move the clouds or blow them away with wind but actually force the air to vibrate and heat up? It doesn't boom like the rocks do but there's so much sky and so many clouds it's much harder to do. Even if air is light."

[With Alice juggling being busy and superficially busy being a deputy, she was out and about maintaining the security dolls and entertaining the children.

But everything changed when thefirenationattacked something erupted with impressive power on the outskirts of the city. Alice was immediately on the case.

Alice didn't know if she should be surprised or not seeing Mewtwo as the apparent cause while she lands a safe distance from him as she calls on a small squad of dolls to orbit her.]

Something wrong, Mewtwo?

[psychic_supremecy]

[When she arrived, Mewtwo was slouched over, feet flat on the ground rather than holding himself up on the balls alone, and his knuckles touched the ground, giving him a far more feral look. When Alice spoke, he spun on the spot flinging an arm out toward her followed by what appeared to be a blade of purple energy. It stopped short, however as he registered Alice's identity.]

I'm fine.

[He's not fine.]

[superficially_busy]

[That was quick, but so was Alice. As that psychic blade came barreling down, a legion of war dolls appeared, weapons at the ready to defend the puppeteer.

But the dolls stopped as quickly as the blade did. The dolls dispersed, leaving behind Alice's usual two. Actually fewer than when she arrived. A gesture of good faith in a way.]

Then I suppose you always punch holes in the ground and throw swords at people in jubilation?

I'm not fond of lies, you know. So, what's wrong?

Aeslyn may be a deputy guardian of Genessia City, but Fayren is her home. So when something flattens a fairly significant chunk of the forest near her newly constructed home, she is not best pleased. It takes her very little time at all to set aside her current work in progress, grab her grimoire, and set out to investigate.

When she finds the crater, and thus the creature at its epicenter, she's momentarily startled by the sheer devastation - and again, at the size of the being apparently responsible. Mewtwo's only about twice her height, after all. She wonders briefly if he might be a primal of some sort - but no. He's not feeding on the aether of the land as a primal would.

"What in the world are you doing? Why did you destroy this area?" she asks, gesturing at the crater.

[psychic_supremecy]

This one was new. He'd not had any interaction with her, and given his rather hermit-like life style, he's not surprised when she doesn't seem aware of who he is. Unfortunately, he's not currently in the mood for introductions. He thumps his tail on the ground, kicking up some dust as he glares over his shoulder at the newcomer as a voice echoes through her mind.

Because this place has failed to give me a true opponent.

[blackrose_born]

She frowns at that. "If all you wanted was a fight, you could have asked. Or... well, I suppose you may have, before I arrived. I apologize for presuming." She walks down into the crater, unafraid. How many times has she done this, or something very like it, now?

Mewtwo is powerful - she can sense that much. But he'll find her mind strangely resistant to anything except communication, and that she is slightly 'slippery' to his telekinetic abilities. Like something is shielding her.

"However, presumptions aside, the fact remains that you have destroyed a significant area, as well as any creatures that may have resided there. If destruction is the only language you know, then I can only treat you as I would any other being that seeks to harm the land, and do what I must to stop you." She flings a hand out to the side, and a glowing three-tailed fox-like animal pops into existence. "Will you answer for your crimes peacefully, or force me to fight you?"

She had told Lea that she wanted to hunt bounties. Lea kept wanting her to go out. Since they hadn't signed her up to hunt bounties yet, she decided to just go out and hunt and prove herself that way. Then maybe she wouldn't have to talk to anyone. But the explosion had her jumping back, Keyblade coming to her hand before she could even think to summon it. A heartless! Here! Lea had said there weren't any, but until she arrived, there weren't any Nobodies here either. Had she and Demyx opened the way for more?

When things settled, she stepped forward through the smoke, hood up, and when she saw the lone figure she lifted her Keyblade ready to....

To do what? She couldn't give more hearts to the fake Kingdom Hearts, but what if that followed them here too? Maybe better to use magic...."

Yes, she was just standing there on the edge, a figure all in back with a giant glowing key, considering as she stared at him through the smoke.

{ Well. At least, this time, it's not him destroying the forest. Fifteen minutes or so after the explosion, Zeref emerged from behind a tree that had laid just outside of the blast radius.

How the mighty have fallen. }

I remember when an entire research team was held back due to fear of reprisal from anti-magic extremists when entire swathes of the forest turned up dead.

{ He takes a few steps forward, a barely-there smile spread spreading across his lips. }

Only, that time, it was unintentional. My previous impression of you was that you wouldn't make such a large, loud statement on accident.
