Mister lightning: act 1
3rd person POV:
Eda and April, in their rooms, were updating their leaders on the situation.
Yn Phoenix did what they believed was impossible and now has beaten two mages from both sides.
Of course, he only managed to do this by distracting all the wizards with a little trick before landing a hit that decided the battle, but in the end, he still claimed victory.
He had made fools of both sides, being a normal man while they possessed magic.
Though the magic society might not be capable of taking on the world it definitely believed even their weakest mage could defeat one person.
With the knowledge he had, the two sides wished to end this as soon as possible.
Yn, who was leaning outside his assistant's rooms eavesdropped on the conversations they had with their leaders.
(Eda's room)
???: Let us not drag this out any more than necessary. I shall send one of The Roundtable members...
Eda: One of the Roundtable members?!
???: Yes... Thunderbolt Zeus.
(April's room)
Calia: One too many mages have been made fools... I'm sending Pixi to put a stop to this.
April: Pixi!?
(Outside their rooms)
Yn:(smirks) So they're sending over the big guns, eh?
Yn:(mind) Then I better prepare for the show... I wonder though... Who will come first?
(Opening theme)
Yn: Okay, from the top!
In public, Phoenix made his assistants practice how they would walk when he brought them onto the stage.
April: I hate this...
Yn: Ah-hem.
April: Sorry...(smiles) I hate this so much!
Eda: Why must we do this?
Yn: Do you two not get showmanship at all?
Yn: I put on shows to wow and amaze people with my magic! And there's nothing magical about two girls walking casually.
Yn: Now two women walking with a sway in their hips, a chin held high with the confidence to take on the world....?
Yn: That will be magical.
April: You know, there's something I've been meaning to ask...
April: Why are you using "magic" to entertain people?
Yn: Because that's the purpose of magic.
Eda: "The purpose of magic"?
Yn: Yeah. Magic exists to entertain people, to make them believe the impossible is possible.
Yn: Seeing is believing after all.
April:(chuckles)... A wacky answer from a wacky man.
Eda: You shouldn't be hurtful. His magic is different from ours.
April: Oh come on, didn't you hear what he- eh, fine whatever, you have a point, Imperialist...
Yn: Then tell me, ladies, what's the purpose of magic to you?
Eda: Our magic has no purpose.
April: Like gravity, or air. People use it, but it's not as if they were made to do that.
April: Magic is just a natural thing that we use. Call it a tool.
Yn: Tool for what?
April: Whatever we mages want.
Yn:... That's boring.
April: Boo-hoo, go cry me a river if you don't like it.
Eda: Let it be, anarchist. You're talking about two different things anyhow.
Yn: Are they really different though?
Eda: Yes.
Yn: Really tho...?
Eda: They are.
Yn: But if you squint your eyes-
Eda: They are different.
Yn:... Let's put a pin in that. There's an ice cream shop I want to make a stop in.
Yn: You two want anything?
Eda: Uhhh. Va-
April: Surprise us.
Yn: As you wish.
Eda: Aw, okay then...
Entering the ice cream shop, Yn quickly gets recognized and a crowd surrounds him.
April: We're going to be here a while...
Slumping over onto a nearby bench, April releases a heavy sigh as Eda calmly sits on the opposite end from her.
April:... Look at them... Gawking at him as if he was something special...
April: Why are people so into him?
Eda: It is confusing... But he must have done something to gain such admiration.
April: With silly tricks? Doubt it...
Eda:... Hold on.
April: Hm?
Rummaging through her pockets, Eda pulls out a smartphone.
Yn had gifted both of them one, so they could keep in contact if separated.
At first, he tried to teach them what it was, however the two ladies, though living outside modern society, did know and understand a smartphone.
Their proficiency with using one was nowhere near on par with other women their age, but they knew enough to get the job done.
Going on the internet, Eda pressed the microphone symbol.
Eda: Why is Yn Phoenix famous?
(Doot-doot)
Phone: Yn Phoenix, an illusionist, escapist, and magician, nicknamed "Impossible man".
Phone: He is most famous for his large stunts which amaze the audience.
Phone: Most notable is the "Phoenix flight". Would you like to see the video?
Eda: Yes.
A video then played on her phone which April couldn't help but glance at.
The video showed Yn on top of a tall skyscraper.
Slowly raising his hands, Yn catches on fire. Then, with a smile, jumps off the skyscraper.
The camera then follows Yn as he flies through the air.
April/Eda:?
The perspective then changes to multiple different views of him whilst he flew.
The video ended when he landed and smiled towards the camera.
April:...
Eda:...
April: Wires.
Eda: Invisible ones?
April: Well there's no way he actually flew.
Eda: Maybe glided?
???: Who cares? He ain't going to be around much longer.
A man with bronze skin and snow-white hair, wearing green leather gloves and a jacket, approached the two women.
With his gaze, entirely fixated on Yn in the ice cream shop.
April: A mage...?
Eda: Not just any mage... He's a part of the roundtable... A group of powerful mages serving directly under the leader of the Magi...
Eda: Thunderbolt Zeus...
Zeus: That's right, little knight.
Getting off the bench, April prepares to defend Yn from the Magi member so her group can take him.
Zeus: You're one of those Calia followers, aren't ya?
Slowly, he takes off his left glove.
Zeus: Since you're the only threat here, I'll take you out behind that allyway.
Zeus: Unless...
(Knight of the roundtable: Thunderbolt Zeus)
Zeus: You want to run away?
April: Come on! Let's see how good you really are.
The three head into an allyway whilst Yn watches with his ice cream.
TO BE CONTINUED....
