Oh boy, oh boy. Roy Mustang was pissed, pissed beyond belief. Bastilleprisoner trusted Beck, he trusted that Tanglewood would give them peace and hopefully a strong alliance. Roy on the other hand, he wasn't as open to the idea. Roy had been trying to interact with his allies, get to know the members themselves. Roy remembered how people said the Tanglewood members were kinder than Beck. What a lie that turned out to be a few days ago.

A member of Tanglewood- a white hellhound who wore armor- trespassed into their territory. After approached by his groupmates, the bastard lunged for Washington. Roy remembered walking into chaos- Washington had a broken arm, Carolina some broken ribs, and Playerone was in the middle of a fight as a dragon against the Meta. When Roy caught wind of the Tanglewood scent, some could say that Roy was smoking with fury.

The melanistic bobcat came marching forward to the Tanglewood border, ears drawn back to his skull. Roy's blue eyes were hardened with anger, a frown featured on his maw. Not far behind him was Bastilleprisoner, who Roy himself requested to come along with him. For a moment, Roy's nostrils took in the scent of the swamp, the Flame Alchemist hoping that someone was nearby. If they weren't close by, hopefully Roy's voice will grab their attention.

"Tanglewood!" Roy called out with a commanding tone, eyes scanning the territory for any people nearby. "I am Roy Mustang, Lunar Lieutenant of the Ascendants! I am here with Bastilleprisoner, our Astral Seraph! We demand to speak with Beck at once!"

While Roy's word of choice was strong, he wouldn't have changed it in any way. Roy was looking for answers, he wanted to know if Tanglewood was aware that one of their members went on a rampage over in Ascendants territory. It was well known amongst Ascendants members that Roy was tolerating the alliance with Tanglewood, considering what happened in the past. Friends of Roy tried to get him to be more open about it, but when he came across the fighting, it crossed a line from Roy. With the alliance set, there was suppose to be peace between the two groups. Roy remembered Morgan and Vigenere visiting a few days ago on ambassador business, would Tanglewood really be turning a full 180? Or was there a chance they weren't even aware of what happened? Whether Tanglewood was aware of it or not, they had to know- Roy wasn't about to let this attack be pushed to the side.

Roy first looked over at Iota, the first Tanglewood member to approach. Roy noticed how she was keeping her distance- while Roy was angered, he wasn't about to lunge at them. It already seemed like this alliance was at risk of crumbling, Roy wasn't going to make it worse with violent attacks. Tanglewood is still their ally, the alliance hasn't crumbled to the ground entirely, he wasn't about to lunge at one of their members on their own territory. Blue eyes narrowing, the Flame Alchemist opened his mouth to speak. "I'll explain once Beck arrives," He said with a frown, before his ears pricked up in the direction of Beck's voice.

When Roy turned his head over to look at Beck, Roy remembered how much he truly hates the Tanglewood leader. It probably doesn't help that before they became allies, the two got into a fight. Beck tried to kill Roy, and Roy retaliated with flame alchemy. In the heat of the moment, Roy thought he killed Beck, considering a pile of ash was left behind- though unbeknownst to Roy at the time, Beck was a ghost. He was already dead. And now, while Beck approaches them with that awful cackle and immature personality, the male couldn't help it but frown more. How the hell did this guy make Commander? He acts like a child, his approaching members are more civil than him. He thought to himself as Beck tried to poke fun at Roy. Roy wasn't going to tolerate Beck's attitude, Roy came to Tanglewood with a reason, he wasn't here to be pushed around by an insane ghost.

When Beck made references to Starrynight, Roy would be the last person to care what the deceased Astral Seraph would think on this matter. It was obvious that Roy and Starrynight were entirely two different people. Starrynight had been a pacifist at heart, he wouldn't even dare to spar one of his clanmates in a self-defense lesson. Roy on the other hand, he wasn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it was at the late leader. Roy made it known that he didn't agree with the late Astral Seraph. Beck's jabs about Starrynight were useless.

When Beck batted at Roy's nose, the male recoiled his head back, ears flattening to his skull. Roy ignored the comment Beck made regarding his missing limb, he wasn't here to be pushed around by an idiot. Roy debated making a comment to tell the Tanglewood member to cut to the chase and ask them what they wanted, but he decided against it. Beck is already shown himself to be immature, he'd only get worse if he made a comment. Plus, when he thought of it, it seemed like Beck decided to somewhat act like a leader- the jabs stopped for a moment as Beck questioned what they wanted.

"Now that you're willing to listen," Roy began to speak up with cold, serious tone, eyes narrowing as his gaze locked on the over dramatic feline, "One of your members trespassed into our territory and attacked our members." Perhaps this was the first time Beck was hearing this- and even though Beck didn't consider the Meta to be an official member, he still holds responsibility on the guy. Tanglewood's scent was all over the hellhound, it was impossible to miss. "He was approached by our members, his name was Maine. He was a large white hellhound that wore armor." He said with a frown, eyes glancing to the side as he noticed other Tanglewood members making their way over. "When he was approached, he attacked without warning. He severely injured members. Such as Agent Washington- a Kuiper Corporal-, your member broke his left arm. Carolina, she was left with some broken ribs."

With that, Roy fell silent, narrowed eyes locked firmly on Beck. Considering before Roy explained what happened, Beck claimed they didn't do anything. So that must mean they weren't aware of this fight. Roy hopes they'll know who he's talking about, he expects an apology for what happened. Whether or not they consider that aggressor to be a Tanglewooder or not, their scent was all over it.

Right beside Beck, Morgan looked back and forth between the members of the Ascendants as they spoke. "A white hellhound with armor?" He had not personally met the Meta, but he was aware that the Tangler had joined not long before. He shuddered to think that so early on, one would not only attack and injure allies, but would also indirectly attack their fellow Tanglers. "To both of you, and to the Ascendants as a whole, I'm sorry." He turned to Roy, who had been the more emotional of them, and listened to his story.

With a tone as calm as he could muster, he asked, "Do you know what happened to this attacker?" As he had previously interacted positively with the Ascendants, he hoped that he could try to whittle down some of the anger that filled the many presences in his vicinity. "Because if you do, I want to find him." His voice grew colder and rougher, and beneath his mask he frowned. "As Deputy, I will not tolerate a Tangler attempting to break our law." He growled next as he continued, "He... He will be punished to the fullest extent of my abilities."
