Rei noted the closing of space and tensed, ready to feel the crackle behind Baset’s electric gloves. So she was surprised greatly to find the cat masked woman back off, yelling out a curse to her family name. Rei’s response to that was a gunshot but the assailant was already gone. Frowning, she moved to pursue the masked woman only to remember Addie and Sayaka.

A brief moment was taken to consider her options before she sighed hotly, turning on her heels to go back for her roommates. As expected, Addie was already up and about screaming her head off. Sayaka didn’t look too good, Rei had to admit though she doubted the bandaged girl would receive medical treatment when the whole school was on guard.

If you don’t want any more people to get hurt, you’ll lead me to the infirmary in a calm and orderly fashion. Got it?”[/color]

In the control room, the older Momoko sibling was not having the best of days. She barely grunted as Anubis hit her with his gun, merely staring at his pathetic and retreating form with a cold stare. Seeing the oncoming Izumi, Saya leapt and caught the student midair, landing gracefully and gently putting her down.

[color=ed1c24]“Izumi, let’s go,”[/color] was her only order as she ran in pursuit of Anubis. His masked cohorts led the Head Director to the roof where she saw a student tied with a bag over their head. A hostage. Suddenly, the Red-Eyed Ghost felt her blood freeze, memories of long ago haunting her in this brief moment. But she shook them off, glaring daggers up at Anubis.

[color=ed1c24]“You’re still a coward. Nothing but a dog trailing behind with his tail between his legs. Hostages are the mark of someone much weaker than their enemy. You know this too Anubis.”[/color]

Back in the cafeteria, things were progressively lighter in tone, to an extent. Donna met Minako’s mad little smirk with a smile that could make any shark jealous. She walked around the other girl, holding the urge to laugh aloud. Really, the older brother complex was getting trite. Besides…

[color=f7941d]“Oh ho, you’re like a broken record Squid-san! Broken record, broken record! Besides, what big brother would ever want a kid like you for his sister? Big brother needs a developed woman like me!”[/color]

Donna stuck her tongue out, directly contradicting her statement of being more mature. That point was only highlighted more as she spotted a familiar face, clinging onto Miles and grinning winningly at Minako.

[color=f7941d]“See? Onee-chan is mine. So back off Calamari.”[/color]
