After Rin flew out of the main hall, a magic barrier suddenly enveloped the whole building, with Hana inside... And that was when Minerva appeared, standing opposite the Academy teacher with her sword and chaos magic swirling around her free arm. The two stared each other down as Hana stood and entered a fighting stance. In Hana's eyes was cold fury, while Minerva's were absolutely calm. It looked so different than those few years ago, when this crazy bitch was obsessed with fighting and was clearly insane. Well, maybe the insane part hadn't changed... Whatever she was doing here was definitely insanity. "...Minerva." "Hana. It's been a while. I'd like to first explain what I intend to do here - I want to tell you why this fight is pointless, you see." Minerva explained, a small, almost friendly smile breaking across her face. "Killing you would be the most justified thing I've ever done - don't even start with this 'I'm a nice murderer' bullshit!" Hana growled back. ---------- Joseph was in one of the mountain-sized castle's massive courtyards, close to the top. Hana could be sensed a few lifts higher, and another presence that made one feel sick - unmistakably Minerva's Chaos Magic. As Joseph arrived, a figure began walking eerily toward him from the opposite end of the courtyard. As he came into the full moon's beaming light, his tanned skin and calm expression came into view... Espada came to Joseph after all, didn't need to keep searching. Personally the Spaniard didn't care at all about who he fought, he just knew and loved the fact that he'd more or less killed Hana right in front of this one... Beat him why the girl was still breathing to this day, but that didn't matter all so much. "...Hey, I remember you. How's your girl's eye, you fuckin' idiot?" Espada cackled as a red light began to glow through his arm sleeves. "And, do you think that same señorita stands a chance in hell against our sister? I sure don't..." He chuckled, glancing up at the shield that had formed somewhere higher on the castle. ---------- "What, 'handle'? We were waiting for  you to get outta here and stop ruining all our fun, teach!" Misaki laughed above the carnage. She charged over to him and knocked some nearby enemies around like human skittles with the dragon wind, eager to show off her power. "Go find Takashi... And remember - Luka doesn't matter if she can't see-... Well, you'll probably figure it all out yourself. This sappy stuff is so gay!" Misa tried to play serious, but ultimately failed and started smashing through the dark mages yet again. "Not gonna be even one left standing when we're done!" Misa roared. Even Skyler was in the thick of the action, dive-headbutting into unsuspecting dark mages. The little cat had an army helmet on, which made him look kind of adorable even if he was serious about this. ---------- "J-Just get us to the damn castle already." Luka said before facing away from everyone else, stroking at a patch of the massive beast's fur. It probably couldn't feel it, but why not? It helped Luka think, like she was petting a cat, just this was a giant wolf-thing, not a cat. Amelia sighed and laid back on the soft fur. Just like everyone else, she really wasn't that fearful about the coming fight. Ever since she saw Chris' real power, she hadn't really been afraid of anything they came across. One bite, and he would be able to destroy whatever intended to ruin their day. Aside from that, ...well the others were kind of powerful too, but nothing compared to her favourite vampire! "Jess, these kids are going to get in our way." Arthur shrugged. "Want to drop them off with Misa and Meli, and we can head for that tower up there?" he asked, motioning with his head to the single tower that rose out of the mountain and into the clouds. Intel suggested that cannon was dangerous, so someone skilled should take it and it's guardian down...
