Battle for Croft Part I

Calliope Ariandal has decided to tighten her reign on Croft after the Anti-New Militia Movement has begun to cause troubles to the operations of the Capita. Summoning her power and influence, infernals and soul beasts from all over Croft have begun to leave the slums, and join her ranks. New Militia officers have begun invading the slums, forcing mages and civilians alike to join the New Militia or die. Darkstar must act now before it is too late.

Premise

Sam and Jason slay a pack of soul beasts and infernals that had managed to invade the slums, rescuing several civilians. However, before Sam can finish them off, the creatures suddenly stand upright. Their actions strangely coordinated. The creatures leave, and head to the Capita borders, leaving the two confused.

The two return to the hideout, when something catches Jason's eye. Jason's eyes widen, rushing forward. Reya and Tob try to calm Jason down, but Jason pushes them out of the way. Sam asks what's wrong, and Reya tells Sam that Amana and Trill were suddenly acting really strange, as if they were being possessed. Sam enters the infirmary, where Lazarus is trying his best, but to no avail. Sam becomes horrified. Amana, writhing in her bed, tied down by several straps. Amana's usually orange eyes now glowing red orbs, and her skin, cracked in several areas, glowing red too as if a glowing celestial monster was trying to escape her body, tearing it apart. Amana screams, and Jason tries to calm her down, but Amana headbutts the mage with incredible strength, sending Jason flying an impossible distance. Trill isn't doing any better, the same glowing eyes, and cracks on his skin but blue. His back has sprouted wings, like he did when he was in his Avatar state, but instead of the burning orange, it burned blue.

Jason asks the team what the hell happened. Junon tells Jason that they were acting normal in the morning, but suddenly, they dropped everything they were doing, and started acting like they were being possessed.
