Shadows in the Night
Rutland, Vermont

Though Victoria was capable of long distance travel on her own, and of bringing other people with her when required, she had, instead, opted for Zachary's spells in taking them there. A bit more obvious, perhaps, but also a good test of their enemy's reactions.

Frankly, Victoria was occasionally of the opinion that Rutland out to be razed to the ground and then mystically erased from memory. Too many times over the years she'd been doing this, the trail had led back to this sleepy little town. It had exactly two things going for it: a super-hero themed Halloween parade, and mystical phenomena.

"Be on your guard," she told the others. "I am sensing... something."

Kefka's smirk grew, his body glowing an eerie pale color. Victoria's blasts collided with a barrier brought up without even a word from the masked man. Mina's magic brought the pole to wrap around Kefka, but the metal suddenly seared red, the metal burning into liquid around him. Zahary's projected objects flew at Kefka. He casually raised his hands, the objects stopped moving in mid-flight, falling to the ground. He sees Mike heading for him, extending a hand outward as Mike's blow collided with it. Kefka was driven back as the blow caused him to drag across the ground, but otherwise he looked unharmed.

He looked at the group with an eerily serene smile. "My turn." Mystic power erupted between his hands, the ground tearing apart from the force. "Catch." His hands shot out, sending a massive force of mystic power at the group.

	Victoria threw up a hand, deflecting some of the attack, but she let out a scream as it overpowered even her defenses. She clutched her smoking hand, the burned skinned sizzling in the cool night air. Whoever this Kefka was... he was far more powerful than she expected. "You... your magic reeks of Order..." she gasped, pained. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sally, unsure what to do, just ducked. "Like half of the people who went crazy?" she asks Miss Craft. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike got blasted backwards. It took him a few moments to start getting up but he was already healing of his injuries. "Is that all you got." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zach flails backwards, taking off his hat and tapping one side of it with his wand. A vortex pulls up several of the stray bolts of magic, as he tries to protect the less battle-experienced members. He's thrown onto his back from the recoil of the spell though.

As Victoria points out, however, the magic is overbearingly indicative of Order. As stable as a mountain. That much raw power, if chaotic, would have ripped apart his hat's enchantments at the seams. No pun intended.

"No... I'm fairly certain he's got more, Blood. Thankfully--" Zach taps the opposite side of the hat, even as he gets up to one knee. "--so do we." He braces the hat in the crook of his arm like a miniature cannon, preparing to fire the energy back.

Kefka just smirks, chuckling at Victoria's revelation. "Guilty as charged, young lady. Though you appear to have a bit of 'Strange' magic yourself," he said with implied knowledge. "Hmm?" Kefka closes his eyes and smiled with satisfaction. "And they have acted." He extends a hand, the orb in the church appearing in it. "One step closer. Here, you can keep this." He tosses the now powerless orb for anyone to catch.

	"Why?" Kefka asked rhetorically. "My child, if I were to explain would you really be inclined to listen?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sally grabs the orb -- and is then surprised that it doesn't hurt, or need to have people protected from it, apparently. "What, what acted?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A war between Chaos and Order which may rip this world apart..." Victoria said, managing to stand again. "Blast away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"WAIT." Zach speaks with magically amplified volume, still keeping the power ready to fire, as he faces Kefka. "Go ahead then. Explain. You'll be surprised at what we can comprehend, most likely." Never pass up a chance to keep someone talking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The Lord of Order have exerted their influence to end the madness, making the world just a bit more orderly in the process," Kefka explained. He raises an eyebrow at Victoria. "You seriously overestimate the Lords, young lady. Oh they will saber-rattle a little, but in the end the slight shift in Order's favor I've engineered will not trigger a war." He looks over at Zach. "Dear boy, I may have an ego, but you very well know, a magician doesn't reveal his tricks. I suspect we will be seeing each other again. Until then, children." Kefka's body glows to a pale white before suddenly vanishing utterly.
