"That's right! We've come this far to save the world that we all know and love, and we're not gonna stop now!" Ralena stepped forward, crouching and clenching her fists as a pair of smooth blue gauntlets covered them. "So either YOU back down since you're the last one standing, or we'll FORCE you to back down as we beat you senseless!" As the four Fairy Tail mages stood their ground, Orpheaus shook his head and sighed, speaking in that same gruff, low voice that he had when he introduced himself.<strong>"All you children speak of surrender and assume that I'm just going to accept defeat because you got to me."</strong>He took a step towards him, the magical energy within the air moving around him and giving his each step an intimidating shiver that ran through the air.<strong>"I set this plan in motion years ago, it's my life long dream. I will not simply accept defeat because my subordinates were not strong enough to stop you on their own. If you want to crush my dreams, then you must go through me first!"</strong><br/><br/>Ralena smirked, kicking off the ground as she sprinted towards him. "Sounds good to me! Let's do this!" She jumped up at him, swinging one of her gauntlet infused fists right at his face. However, just before it connected, he lifted his hand and grabbed her fist without even flinching. Ralena's eyes went wide at the sudden blocking, it was as though her fist had connected with a brick wall! "What the- AAAUGH!" A huge burst of magical power came from the old man's palm, launching Relana backwards until she smashed roughly against one of the back walls of the chamber. Orpheaus shook his head in disdain, his eyes shutting as Ralena collapsed to the ground.<strong>"You defeated the lower crows with that power?"</strong>"The hell... was that?"<br/><br/>While Ralena was struggling to get back to her feet, Orpheaus looked towards the other three.<strong>"All four of you, come at me at once. I'll end this once and for all."</strong>
