Velstar moved from the inside of the school building up to the roof there was no one else there. Normally the Ballistics club or Archery club would've taken up the position but they had used some 'Gentle Persuasion' in order to get them to stand down.

[b][color=orangered]"Give us a visual."[/color][/b] Gabriel's voice said in his mind.

Down below, the Student Council were escorting a group of people. They were in the main school courtyard now, and all eyes were fixed on them. Most of the students in the courtyard were still supposed to be in class but they'd made excuses one way or another and no one was going to be able to stop them now.

"Th-th-there are so m-many people down there..." Velstar stuttered out, "I-I don't know if I can do this!"

Suddenly, a resounding gong sound reverberated throughout the school. The Rumble had begun.

Down below, chain after chain burst out of the ground and trapped all of the students within range, pinning them to the ground. Since the Rumble was an all out battle royale, there were certain special rules in terms of what counted as 'defeat'. One of them was if a person was restrained without conceivably being able to do anything for 10 seconds which was undoubtedly what Alphonse was going for.

But it wasn't going to be that easy, as they watched some of the students pulled out bows and guns, taking aim at the council.

"It's the Imperial Regiment!" Velstar shouted.

Obviously they were going for a coordinated attack to take control of the student council. They were going to have to intervene...

[b][color=orangegred]"Velstar, take out the gunners and Meruis, take out the archers."[/color][/b] Gabriel said.

"Right!" Velstar said, getting onto the railing. He looked down and gulped at the height.

[b][color=orangered]"You can do this Velstar, we know you can."[/color][/b] He reassured.

The shy student nodded and without further hesitation, he jumped forawrd into the air. To anyone else it would've looked suicidal, but Velstar needed an act of courage to activate his power. There was a star shaped, yellow flash of light, and where Velstar was there stood a strange creature. It had a glowing transluscent star instead of a head and brightly patterned spandex. He fell from the air fast and landed with another star shaped flash.

"Velstar arrives on the scene!" He shouted.

This was 'Velstar's' actual form. His real name was something else but he always wanted to be called Velstar, mostly because of his power. In this form, he gained super speed, enhanced senses and most importantly for him, a changed personality. Velstar's true form was brazen, confident, brave, all qualities he lacked in his normal form.

Down below, he dashed forward leaving behind a sparkling trail. He flashed through the crowd, dropping gunners left and right. Another rule of defeat was simply unconsciousness. Those that were defeated would be seemingly consumed by shadow and then dispensed into their dorm room or the nurse's office as required.

The nearby archers wouldn't be able to get a bead on him so they instead decided to focus on his Ally. The roof gave anyone on it an advantage versus gunners who could only shoot straight, one only needs to step backwards to avoid almost any of the gunfire that could be shot at someone on the roof. But bows had an arc, and even now several arrows were already whizzing in the air towards Meruis. Elsewhere in the school, fighting had also begun. Mostly brawls were breaking out between the Fighters and the Imperial Regiment, although the Regiment had specialized squads formed they were still relatively equal with the Fighters who had more numbers.

Several of the Coalition's main fighters were also in action, although much more covertly. There were very few of them who had permission to engage in open combat as that was how Juri's web worked. Any open combat specialists were out at the ends of the web because they were most likely to expire early and cut off communications.

Juri herself had also hidden. The reason she hadn't stayed in the dorms was the fact that she was capable at combat and battle power couldn't be wasted for today.

The Fighters had the numbers, the Regiment had the organization, and the Coalition had the tactics. If these three factions ever banded together perhaps they would be truly powerful. But in Kagetora, only one could really be the King.
