“Strange phenomena...” A pleasantly plump man – young? It was difficult to say. The appearance was nigh otherworldly for the man. He was dressed in a mundane manner. He wore dark-brown pants and a dressy red shirt. A hat hung on his head – red and black paints did a wondrous job matching it with the rest of his clothing and as he spoke, he did so in a hush. It was childly how he repeated the same two words to himself. It was as if he was attempting to burn it into his mind; to not forget the reason for his presence in this town.
“Weird tornadoes...” And there it was. The reason for him being there. Taking initiative, Notorious took upon a task. For a few days, tornadoes were appearing in the wooded area outside of the town. It was not common weather and started happening daily. The most disturbing part was at times, it appeared to grow nearer the town than the last day it appeared. There was clearly something unnatural about it and thus, it became a job for whatever wizards happened upon the task.
Big stopped to gaze over the stretch of farm land. It was an innocent stare that swept the contours of the land. Catching sight of some damaged trees, he focused his attention there.
“Oh... maybe that from the thing. Let's ask the locals!” A finger rose up in a mighty 'ah ha!' moment before he started making his way down a hill and towards actual buildings.

[nospaces]  [attr="class","spellbound-text"]Romance wasn't one to do anything besides beast hunting, it was the main purpose of his guild after all, but today was different. Or it was different in appearance as the cause of the tornadoes had yet to be sussed out, explaining why the duo of mages were tasked with investigating. Something had given birth to unnatural twisters which had been inching closer to Andesite Village, and today the two of them were going to put a stop to it.
[break][break]
Carnelian eyes took in the landscape and the large figure beside him, the peaceful air around the rural grass patch was refreshing. A light breeze lifting his white t shirt to flap silently, blue jeans hugging his legs and white sneakers planted in the dirt; only a black leather jacket keeping him warm. Even if the weather wasn't bad it would feel way chillier if he was out there with a t shirt and jeans.
[break][break]
Snapped from his thoughts the slayer would turn to Big with an understanding nod. They were already on the move toward the town and the blonde could see the tree line had been scarred from the raging winds, and asking the locals could work... or it was a waste of time and the tornadoes would start when they got to town. It had yet to be determined.
[break][break]
"Sounds like as good a plan as any." With that they were both moving toward their appointed destination.

“HELLO!”
His light jog down the hill became a sprint. An off-beat glee stormed his face as a plethora of enjoyment was siphoned from the simple act of running. It was not long before he happened upon a woman of black hair, simple dress of earthy hues and an age pushing passed the forties. She turned with a start as Big skidded to a halt. That was when he shouted his greeting. It fetched a short scream from her and Big found the woman's fist embedded directly into his face.
He did not move or flinch, but smiled. When the woman realized her instinct-spawned action, she retracted and remained for the man did not appear to be doing anything but enduring the brunt of her attack.
“We're here about the tornadoes!” Big announced. “You know of them?”
“Uh – yes,” she started. “I've seen one?”

[nospaces] [attr="class","spellbound-text"]The two of them were moving now, with Romance gasping at the now running man who was flying down the hill to their destination almost too fast for him to keep up. He didn't bother to scream wait up while chasing after the larger framed man only skidding to a stop beside the woman when he had, though he didn't receive the same fist as a greeting.
[break][break]
It didn't stop him from wincing at the blow that Big had seemingly felt nothing of, what an odd figure. A nervous chuckle escaped Romance who could only stand back and watch the scene as an observer. He would pay attention to their conversation at least, waiting for any sort of detail he could pick up about the out of place weather that had been plaguing the village.
[break][break]
"What can you tell us about the one you saw, if you... don't mind me asking?"
[break][break]
Romance finally spoke up, interested in how they could prevent the next one or stop it, but needing some outside help to make such a plan. He wasn't so sure how he'd fair against a tornado in a fight but he was more than willing to try his best!

“Well...” Less perturbed as the other spoke, she found herself able to recall the memory without much issue.
“I didn't see a lot. I only caught a glimpse of it. It looked just like a twister, but it didn't move a whole lot and left almost as quickly as it showed up...” It appeared she was not entirely convinced what she was saying would be of any help, so she searched for something else to say.
“I hear... Tim Buckly, somebody that lives down there in that building...” She pointed out a building down a stretch of dirt-paved street. “He saw one of them from the very beginning, but I don't know what he's been saying about it. I know it was strange and not a lot of people were willing to listen to him.”
She did not say it, but she was one of the people, clearly, who was not interested in the man's words – but why could that be? Big tilted his head in a curious manner as she concluded her tip.

[nospaces] [attr="class","spellbound-text"]Romance listened closely to the woman, her gaze as unsure as her tone which wasn't exactly helpful to the duo. She mentioned that the tornadoes came and left quickly and that someone had seen it from start to finish but no one believed what he'd said, just their luck. Now the two of them had a choice, to listen to the lady who clearly felt guilty about dismissing his ideas or go straight to the horses mouth. This... Tim Buckly fellow.
[break][break]
"A twister that doesn't move? That's odd..."
[break][break]
His words were silent, intending to keep them to himself while rubbing his chin with curiosity beaming on his visage. Reddish eyes closing to give a formal nod to the woman in question, before peering at Big and motioning toward the structure. "Looks like we know where to go. Thank you for your time." A simple farewell while his legs began to pump him into a sprint again, hoping to get to Tim's home before anything weird started again.
[break][break]
The young blonde knew that if another tornado sprouted before they could learn how they formed it wouldn't end well. Not to mention the possibility of some storm beast or maybe aliens, it was all so mysterious.

Romance Solomon likes this
“Thank you, ma'am!” he exclaimed. It evoked within her another start, but the results of that was not something Big stuck around for. He jogged off with a wave and turned his attention ahead of him just in time to avoid running directly into someone.
“Hey, watch where you're goin'! Geez-la-fuckin'wheeze!” the individual cried. Big could only chuckle as he glanced rearward, but did not slow his pace. It only slackened when he arrived at the building in question's door.
“Oo...” he simply thrummed as he went to turn the handle. “...Locked.”
“Hey!” Somebody hollered from behind the door. The voice was muffled, then no longer as the door was pulled open. It revealed a man – nothing special. Perhaps he was a little older than the woman he just spoke to.
“Hello! We're wizards! We're here to stop those twisters – or at least try.” Big shrugged, which was followed by a grunt and a narrowing of the eyes as the man stared at him, then looked to Romance.
“Yeah? You guys wanna hear about it, then? Well... let me think about it...”

[nospaces] [attr="class","spellbound-text"]Despite Big almost running some poor lad over the two of them eventually made it to the older mans home, to which Romeo simply watched. His companion had managed to reach for the door and attempt to open it before the younger mage had a chance to stop him and it resulted in a voice speaking from the other side of the wall. It made the blonde tense up, his body now unmoving as he hadn't been one to deal with getting in trouble as gracefully as others. Waiting for the reprimanding of a lifetime for something he didn't even do, and even cringing when the door opened.
[break][break]
However he found his face unslapped and his ear in working condition and so he slowly opened his eyes to see the older man just watching them for a moment. Big explaining they were here to stop the weather phenomena, why hadn't he just thought to do that too, he was so dense sometimes. Sighing in relief when the older gent mentioned telling them the story when he thought about it, Romance gave a friendly bow to show his respects.
[break][break]
"Yes please, any and every detail helps us out... and sorry about fiddling with your doorknob."

“Yeah, sure. Maybe you two are just over-anxious,” he theorized.
“If you two came all this way from wherever you're from, then you must be willing to listen.” He moved away from the home and looked in the direction of the recent damage.
“It came from the ground up,” he said with his hands on his hips. “That's right. From the ground up and it reached all the way to the clouds. Maybe that's how they are. I dunno. I ain't a weather man, but it seems pretty strange. I think it's worth noting!”
That was all he seemed to have to say.
“Shot right up, did it?” Big echoed. He was hardly bothered. Perhaps he knew something, but it was hard to tell.
“Yup. It's all I got for ya. After all, it was windy and loud – don't ask nothin' stupid like what did y' hear, 'cause wind! Lots of wind!”
“Lott'sa wind. Got it!” Big saluted and turned to leave.
“...Alright, then.” The man made his way back inside and closed the door. Of course, there was a locking sound right after.
“To the site!”

[nospaces] [attr="class","spellbound-text"]Romance nodded in response to the older man who was trying to convince himself to tell them what had happened. Of course if they'd come all this way it must of been to help out, since the tornadoes themselves were doing a pretty good job of fucking everything up without their aid. With the start of the story silencing Rome's thoughts to allow him to analyse the situation, the tornadoes were forming from the ground up; which was natural, but they weren't moving. And they only lasted for a short time, which wasn't.
[break][break]
With that bit of info the man would begin rambling about there being wind and lots of noise, which was expected, but his attitude suggested the cyclone knocked a few of his brain cells loose. That wasn't great for credibility and just as soon as the conversation started it was ending with the door locked and the two of them off to a new destination.
[break][break]
"I guess we shouldn't of expected a straight answer, if they knew what was going on I don't think they would of hired us."
[break][break]
Romance responded before moving to follow Big to the site, now eager to finally put whatever was causing this mayhem to rest.

“Plenty of good stuff!”
It seemed as if Big was sure they received wondrous information. Since one cannot see a tornado form from the ground up since there are no clouds on the ground... it certainly was not natural. There was no dessert-like stretch of sand to even suggest such a thing was naturally occurring – just woodlands. No twisting sands existed to rise up, like dust devils, just clouds reaching down to meet the ground below.
“Something's responsible, I just know it!”
And when they got to the site – well, there was nothing there besides damaged trees. Splintered wood and twigs were plentiful and even with Big digging through a lot of it, he did not turn up with anything. Possible two or three-hundred feet away, however, after a while thinking and sitting around, an explosion of wind erupted. It stretched skyward, drawing Big's attention and drawing a wide-eyed awe to his visage.
“...WHAT LUCK!” He yelled.

"True enough." Romance agreed, as at least they had given them some understanding of what they were doing even if it wasn't an exact science, the two of them could likely piece it together. For starters Rome knew the science behind tornadoes but if they were visually coming from the ground instead of such a thing being invisible to the naked eye it was a sign of magical mayhem.
[break][break]
Reaching the site they would need to investigate, the god slayer looked around at the destruction and how it all seemed to stay in this specific area. Maybe this was some mages practicing ground, or there was something expelling violent wind from under ground? This entire thing could of been a mage who had no control for all they knew. "No signs of foul play, but we can't just rely on what we see."
[break][break]
It wasn't until the two of them were at the pinnacle of silence that the wind picked up violently, almost knocking Romance off his feet if he hadn't begun bracing himself. Clothing lashing and his arm guarding his face, he could see Big was in awe with the wind but not exactly watching the source of it.
[break][break]
"What's causing it?!" The blonde yelled over the wind, his eyes looking to Big for an answer that he couldn't see himself.

And then it stopped. “Oh...” he thrummed. He could not help but think it was a very short occurrence – almost anti-climatic. He hoped he was not too late in starting towards its origin. He jogged, carefully hopping over roots and branches while maintaining a quick and steady pace. His eyes were nigh unblinking as he closed the distance between the phenomena and himself.
He arrived in a freshly-made clearing. It was forged via wind, clearly, and he tilted his head at the sight of three youths. Two males, one female and beside them were strange individuals – beings. The whole sight was surreal. Big took the index finger he placed in his mouth out, eyeing the six figures standing before him.
“Oh, wow. Company!” Said the boy with a mechanical, short, humanoid creation standing at his side.
“Uh... huh!” Big had no idea what he was staring at; but the group was standing where the gales originated. Doubtlessly, they were the cause.
“What are they doing here?”
“Yeah, that could've been bad if they were a little sooner,” said the shortest one of them all.

Just as quickly as the upheaval had begun it was ending, much to the confusion of the younger party present. His eyes scanning the area harshly to figure out what the hell had just happened and then he was following the larger man, Rome's hair a complete wreck from the localized storm. The duo in pursuit of the focal point only to come across the sight of children and mysterious 'figures' standing beside them.
[break][break]
If that wasn't ominous, he didn't know what was. To make matters worse their form of speech and behavior wasn't average in the slightest and now Romeo was a bit anxious. Sure he expected to be dealing with a mage or something but this was... different. He didn't know how yet, but he could just sense it.
[break][break]
"The real question is, what are YOU doing here?"
[break][break]
A false confidence mustered in his gullet, a tool of the trade, and a natural authority he could summon. He had dealt with his brother long enough to know how to take on a stern tone but he'd never really had to follow through with punishing him, given he was a pretty good kid overall... and he had the best puppy dog face. It was hard to reprimand him.
[break][break]
"And who are you three? What are you doing to these kids?"

“Hey, Skip...” the girl started with an obvious hushed tone of caution. “This could be...”
There was a pause as all of them looked at each other. Before long, they returned their attention to Romance and Big.
“Well, if they truly don't know... let's show 'em!” he announced.
Light, transfiguration – an explosion of magical power and transformation ensued. The six were reduced to three and each appeared much older than they once were. Their forms, their outfits – completely outlandish.
“I think we can safely say they're part of the opposing team! Let's go, guys!”
And then they started dancing – dancing up a whirlwind that brought an expression of awe to Big's face. “...We found it!” He hollered, throwing his arms up into the air and being... strangely unaffected by the winds attempting to pull them in. With the soles of his feet layered in an adhesive, it appeared as if Big was going nowhere.
