Demonic Bael - Still crashing parties

Lily was relatively lucky that Bael wasn't able to think, right now. The demon careless moved his arm down, the claws digging through the fabric of her dress and possibly scratching her skin the process- he carelessly grabbed her and tossed her towards the side - another lucky soul was the boy who suddenly got between him and his main target. Bael didn't need to use his spells for this one, he just swatted his palm much like one would swat a mosquito away. The reason he could swat a human so easily? His increased strength in this true form, it was unbelievable to say the least. Now, why is those being knocked away lucky? Because the raging dragon was just as enraged as Bael in his true form, the boy didn't even care about the people, he just nearly burned everyone around them.

After knocking (and consequently, likely saving) those around him, Bael dived into the hole opened by the fireball- mind, that the chains which had been previously ignored, were now an inch away to attach at Allan's ankles and pull him full-force against the ground; and once that happened (if it did), more chains would seek to wrap around his wrists, arms and his chest. They were pretty fast, so unless the dragon could pull something incredible to avoid them... Well.

Oona - hallway

Oona was extremely relieved to hear Zivon was alright but the boy seemed to be having trouble, she replied quickly "i'll be fine as long as those 2 don't turn the heat up too much more and i can get to some clean water within the next few hours" she smiled as encouragingly as she could.

she then turned her attention to the other 2 "is he gonna be alright?"

Andromeda - student center

she saw Lily fly and cried out, her literally only friend so far had been turned into a child then thrown across the room by a demon, she rushed to the girls side "Lily?" she dropped down to her knees "Lily!"

Ryuu Yamauchi

...

...

...

...

...Ugh, sh-t. Don't tell me I got knocked out again?

...

Ryuu's eyes were blurry. One of his sunglasses' lenses had cracked, causing him to squint as he opened his eyes slowly. While whatever the boombox guy sent at him knocked him out for literally a few seconds, the demon thing managed to knock him out for more than just a few seconds. His body was feeling a little heavier than usual. Not that he was not surprised, because it was not your everyday thing to get smashed away by a demon, right? Right. Ryuu was never really used to demons- okay, he admitted that he saw and enjoyed demon girls in anime, and only saw the male demons as utter bad-sses that carried plots like the bosses they were.

The otaku's eyes barely cracked open, revealing his eyes little-by-little.

I can't breathe, he thought to himself, attempting to move up just a little.

...

...Wait... I can't breathe?

Ryuu's eyes opened a little more, finally sending him back to reality. Something was pressing his lips in the midst of the chaos around him.

Something.

Pressed.

His lips.

...Huh? Wait a damn second.

Ryuu's eyes slowly moved down, only to find someone looming over him.

He paled for a quick second.

Oh God.

And as quickly as he paled...

Wha...

...Ryuu slowly separated himself from Adenine.

He then screamed like a little girl, his face beet red like a tomato, as he scrambled away from the girl at a short distance. His eyes were wide in disbelief, and- obviously- some joy.

I can't believe it! He thought. I got knocked away by a demon, and I wake up getting kissed by a two-dimensional girl?!

BEST. VISUAL NOVEL. EVER!!!!! WHERE'D THAT DEMON GO?! I WANNA GET PWNED AGAIN!!! HOLY SH-T, DID SHE REALLY- AM I JUST- OH, DAMN, TO THINK THAT I LOST MY LIPS' VIRGINITY TODAY OUT OF ALL DAYS...!

Hail Maria...

Needless to say, Ryuu prevented himself from getting knocked out again. Still in his own little world, the otaku unknowingly had an activated lightsaber sticking up from an extremely awkward place between his legs. He stuttered out uncharacteristically in the chaotic party room,

"T-...T-T... ARIGATOUUUHHHHAAAAAHAAA!!!"

Ryuu attempted to stand up, only to fall on his butt again. He wanted to groan, but he could not due to the sheer joy he was experiencing. Even if it was (apparently) CPR, it was literally his first kiss! The otaku remained on the ground, sitting with his lightsaber remaining in the same position it was in earlier. If she was willing to leave the place, then he would happily oblige, for he was just too happy to fight right now.

The irony.

Jeanne R. Cortez & Nathaniel G. Terotrax

The pirate captain had tossed aside her cake plate and, surprisingly enough, took out a classy pistol from her waist. She fired it into the air as a warning shot, proclaiming,

"Yarrrrrggggh! Here be a person to take that child!"

The red-haired lady began to make a run for what appeared to be a little girl. She had just noticed her after finishing up her cake, and seeing a child in danger motivated her into actually doing something useful. Making sure that she would not exactly get hit by anything lethal, Cortez lunged for the girl.

"It be too dangerous for ya to be here, lass!" Cortez exclaimed, a confident tone in her voice while wearing a concerned look. She could only hope that Lily would turn, see her, and jump into her arms, for the mighty, fiery beast looked like it was about to move somewhere else. That meant that sticking to the demon would inevitably kill the poor child!

Soon enough, the tall DJ came over as well, his arms wide and ready in case Lily jumped off somewhere else. Terotrax figured that if the beasts were leaving, he might as well ensure the safety of everyone. Lily was eventually tossed aside, and he managed to catch the frail girl in his boombox-covered arms.

"Got'cha~!" He said excitedly with an optimistic smile.

????

The Phantom Rider bowed obediently again, following the Demon Queen shortly after he made sure that she entered the portal he created. His mission here was done, and now he would return back to the home of his lord. He found Lilith's annoyed emotions on him to be discouraging, but he endured it. It was his job to defend her at all costs, after all, and that was one of the main reasons why he was revived. With little doubts on his firmly-planted thoughts, the powerful horseman entered the portal as well, leaving the academy he knew nothing of.

Lily - Party

She winced as the demon's arm came down on her, ripping the dress she had on and slashing her chest. Her eyes grew wide as he picked her up and tossed her aside. Her body hit something with a thud and she lay there, still for a few moments before she opened her eyes again and rubbed her head. "What's with him?" She asked, wiping the tears from her face. She cringed as she moved, the gash in her chest stinging. She looked down to see a long red gash running down her chest. Her eyes went wide and she looked to the hole where the demon had jumped down. She looked up to see a man holding her, saying he got her. She looked up at him and shook her head at him, silently protesting.

She tried to push away from the man now holding her, her eyes set with determination.

Can he not hear me? Surely even a demon would listen to me...

She felt her heart ache, for what reason she didn't know. Whether it was from being tossed aside or the prospect of someone getting hurt, she didn't know. Her eyes narrowed and she hit the man holding her with her fist. "No!" She screamed, forcefully closing her eyes. She imaged her wings at her back and slowly they appeared. Without another word, she shot up ignoring the pain and flew out the door and down the hallway, still holding the dress to her body. She flew down the stairs as quickly as she could and searched the hallways, looking for an open room, any room. She spotted a closet down the hall and ran for it, tip toeing because of the lift from her wings. She opened the door quickly and smiled when she found emergency clothes for students.

A closet always has clothes, right?

Quickly, she found something that would fit her. It was simple blue thin pants and a matching button up shirt, something you'd see a patient wearing. She put the clothes on and with that, she opened the window and flew outside, scanning the area for the demon and the other one... dragon? She blinked. Why was a dragon here? She'd only seen one in her entire life and she'd rather keep it that way. Dragons were proud creatures as far as she could remember. She fluttered down, keeping a fair distance from them, simply watching for now, waiting for a moment to intervene.

[Driving Park]

In the midst of the music intensifying, the emotions - particularly negative emotions - of the party were also intensifying. Carmen watched the crowd closely as they became increasingly restless. Soon, a large slam was heard and she saw someone smash another person through a table. Her eyes darting to focus on that, she came to a sudden realization in her mind. The dragon boy from the auditorium... she thought. Unconsciously the chords she was playing underneath her own trumpet solo were building tension as her own emotions were a mixture of anger, uncertainty, and a distinct concern that the music would end soon.

As if on cue, the DJ next to her whose drumming the was really digging suddenly stopped playing, leaving Carmen hanging over on an extremely loud, extremely high note. She turned abruptly to him as she laid down deeper chords to try to compensate for the change, but as she looked at him he was staring at the crowd, and his boombox-drumset began transforming yet again. As he began to run towards the fight, he winked at her. By this point Carmen was trying to contain the situation with the music she was playing, and her eyebrows went up at the wink. Her eyes followed him into the crowd, and it was at that moment that she completely stopped playing, only able to stare. Hell itself had been brought into the party - this fight would not end well. More and more people were joining the fray, only making the fray bigger and worse, and now Satan's soldiers were marching in.

Carmen needed to do something now if she had any hope of helping the situation, which now could get them all in trouble because of the property damage caused when the dragon and demon chased each other down a hole freshly burnt into the floor. The authorities were already likely on their way, so Carmen felt it a perfectly appropriate time to...intervene. The two aggressors were just one floor below the party and still underneath it, making their way to the balcony, so Carmen took action. The beasts were no longer in the room, but they could still chaos. Everyone could hear and feel them and Carmen was certain that some harm would be caused unless she did something. Up until this point, everyone at the Academy had only heard Carmen's good side - the soothing, uplifting music she played. Perhaps some thought that her abilities were completely useless in a combat situation.

Well, they would now be proven wrong.

Carmen put her trumpet to her lips with fire in her eyes and created the lowest, most massive wall of sound imaginable. It shook the floor, it shook eardrums, it shook eyes, and it shook peace of mind. While it would certainly not be a pleasant experience for those in the room, the building and indeed the entire campus, Carmen focused the terrible sound's waves directly at the dragon and the demon. It would be much more unpleasant for them. The sound lasted for several long seconds and then dissipated as Carmen fell, nearly passing out. As she was untrained, that one outburst had used all of her combat energy and she lay onstage breathless, hoping what she had done had caused some good.

[NaraK]

Nathaniel G. Terotrax

What he thought would be the end of danger for the little girl, however, was completely incorrect. Much to his surprise, she suddenly punched his face, and quite harshly, too.

"Y-OW!" Terotrax cried, letting go of the girl in the process. "Wait- OH NO! Don't go, miss! Don't...! Aw, man..."

And just when he thought that the punch hurt him, he felt something else crash into his head, only this time it hit the back of his skull.

"Methinks you should've hold her tightly!" Cortez, the captain of the Screaming Pearl, retorted with a clearly disappointed look. She, however, did not look so brave against the tall DJ. He did look sort of intimidating as well.

The boombox-wielding man sighed, scratching the back of his head with a power glove. But the sigh was quickly overshadowed by his great laugh. He decided to pursue after the girl, hoping that nothing would harm the student who seemed a lot younger than before. Cortez followed him, slightly amused by how the DJ was beginning to sing hip-hop music that seemed to speed him up.

Andromeda - student center

Lily completely ignored her, in fact she hit the man holding her and grew wings, flying away "Lily! Wait!" but it was too late, the girl was gone, the other 2 that had been there appeared to be following her so she hurried after them.

[FaithsRose]

Little Feather

Lion moved out of the way of the small child, moving in front of Little Feather as the woman wrapped a cloak around Lily. He flicked his ears back as the girl walked over to the raging demon, looking up at Little Feather who scratched her head. “She’s not...could be the bad ju-ju around here that changed her” She stated to the woman whom seemed to mother the young girl. As Lily was picked up and thrown Little Feather gasped and Lion surged forward running over to assist two rather strange individuals in their mission to catch Lily. Little Feather rushed towards the flames lifting her flute to her lips she played a few notes, before lifting her hands, force fields alighting around the flying students a white colored panther appeared gradually next to her offering more force fields to help protect the innocent as the two brutish creatures battled it out. “Panther go left, keep those flames at bay” Little Feather ordered, looking over at Lion who stood next to the funny looking man who by the looks of it had caught Lily, shaking his head as she flew out of the guys arms.

Crash

Crash looked up at Zivon, lifting a dismissive hand but he managed to muster a grateful smile for Zivon’s concern. He looked at the blue haired girl from before as she appeared next to Zivon, another friend of his? This guy was popular, he didn’t even attempt to get up. Ok, focus now...let it go He took a deep breath, wiping his forehead and forcing himself to smile reassuringly at the pair next to him. “Dani I think is ok, Kathy took him into the crowd. That white haired guy is going to have to search pretty damn hard to find him...plus he’s got a behemoth to deal with first” Crash stated to the girl who sounded like she was panicking. So much negativity...please calm down He glanced at the girl wishing she were a mind reader, purple smoke drifted off of his skin as he tried to get to his feet. Hearing Kathy speak he stopped about to speak when she appeared in front of him, he felt her cool hands slide onto his damp cheeks. Inwardly exhaling in relief, he wasn’t sure why he had been so agitated when they were separated but he had. “Nothing...Just bad when it comes to this stuff” He murmured, closing his eyes briefly and taking a deep breath. Ignoring the insistent pain in his chest, he looked at Kathy his eyes seemed to glow in the low light, he still managed to smile reassuringly. “Get Dani to safety?” He asked. Focus...calm... He realized her hands were shaking, he lifted his free hand pulling one of her own away from his face and holding it for a moment. “Are you okay?” He asked, concern apparent in his face he could hazard a guess at why she was shaking.

Crash jumped violently as flames licked their way around the student center, he looked at the commotion the two creatures had caused. This is their fault! Putting everyone in danger because they have a temper His face darkened for a moment as he allowed his hypocritical statement to hang in his mind. “We should move away from here” He suggested to all of them, getting to his feet attempting to help Kathy up as well. “Outside maybe? Away from the burning building?” He suggested, wincing as his chest constricted and his canines begun to elongate. He slammed his hands on his ears as the floor shook and someone sent the most unpleasant feeling through his body. It was so unexpected in a pouf of purple smoke he transformed into a small red panda almost instantly shifting back to a human staggering sideways as he tried to regain balance he shifted a second time into a large red dingo, lasting less than 10 seconds in that form he shifted back to a human though his eyes were definitely glowing brighter. "Need...to calm down..." He said, his canines were indenting his lip, claws had formed on his fingers. He couldn't deal with this much negativity and the sudden musical abuse almost scared the life out of him.

Allan - Empty dorm room below the student center

Allan was within reach of the balcony until he felt something wrap around his ankles tightly causing him to fall face first into the ground. He quickly pushed himself up and looked back to see what grabbed him noticing the chains he ignored before. I underestimated their speed... He noted as he saw more of the chains coming after him and restrained the rest his body.

He winched some and felt himself getting burnt even though he summoned his scales to withstand the physical pain, but it was not enough as it felt like something else was burning...like his soul...What the hell are these chains?...They shouldn't be able to burn me like that! He thought a bit surprised that the demon was capable of this. He kept trying to withstand the burns and took a deep exhale about to burn the chains off his body with his flames.

Something then stopped him from doing so, he felt his ears ringing from the unbearable sound which came from Carmen's trumpet. "My ears!!!" He roared out, struggling to reach up and cover his ears when and if the demon decided to loosen his chains. Carmen's sound was more painful than the demon's searing chains due to his sensitive hearing. His eyes then rolled into the back of his head losing consciousness himself as he fell backwards onto the floor.

Oona - hallway

Oona gasped in pain as the wall beside them caught on fire "I have to get out of here! I'm drying up!" she looked around in panic
everyone around them was freaking out, her voice was laced with fear "is there a fast way out of here?!"
as she looked around she moved as far away from the wall as possible, bumping into the other one and still not being far enough away from the fire for comfort.

[Aeris]

Bael - Now crashing himself rather than parties

"I GOT YOU! AHAHAHA, SUFFER MISERA- GAAAAAAAAH!" The noise coming towards him was too intense to withstand. The demon completley lost control of the chains assaulting the dragon as they simply disappeared from existance. He roared out, a sound which would be extremely loud and intimidating if the noise coming from somewhere or someone didn't muffle it. The creature felt into it's knees, placing one of his hands against the ground while the other held his head. The already enraged demon was becoming extremely annoyed by this. How dare they interrupt his fight?!

Once the sound stopped, Bael stood himself up again, took a single step forward and felt onto his knees again, but this time both of his hands were against the ground, holding himself up: He was on all fours, staring at his own hands; the demonic skin seemed to burn away into ashes, the dark particles floating from him, revealing the human body which was not as intimidating as his demon form in the slightest. Ten seconds after, the demon's body had completely burned away and a human Bael was laying on the ground in place of what was once a very dangerous being. For convenience purposes... Some seemingly magical, dark particles formed around the boy and materialized into his clothes. Including the jacket which he had discarted long ago.

[Sukui]

Unknown
"Isse."

The deep, menacing voice of a stranger echoed within. Everything around Isse was pitch black at the moment, then all of a sudden, out came the vision of the cosmos, with the Sun right in front of him. He was simply standing in empty space, near a giant, extremely energetic and intensely hot ball of nuclear fusion. He was all confused on where he is, then all of a sudden, the silhouette of a crow appeared on the sun.

"Huh? Where am i?"

"Isse. Step into the conflict."

"What conflict?"

The vision of the present situation then appeared from the Sun: Two demonic figures fighting each other, in what used to be a joyous situation. Even he saw himself there; he was just sitting on one of the chairs, his eyes wide open. But why was he here, still? Meanwhile, Isse then floated in zero gravity after standing in space.

"That? No, no. I am not involved with those people."

"You can resolve it. The party will be back to what it was supposed to be after."

"But-"

"Now. Do it now. All's simple: walk in the midst of the chaos there, don't say anything, and if they try to harm you, harm them. You don't have to transform. Just be the center of attention, that's all."

"Hmm... Who are you?"

"That shall be answered in the future."

Isse then faded away from existence.

"Hm, hm, hm." The lightly-spoken, yet dark laugh of the true spirit of the Yatagarasu followed afterwards.

---

Isse
"....huh?"

Isse awoke from his vision. He remembered what the stranger told him, then walked right into the scene, extending his arms in a boastful manner, proudly presenting himself to the crowd. With his menacing smile and his eyes covered by his hair, this overall gave him a creepy, insane impression. Without second thought, he laughed, as wicked as his smile, and that was even if he had no idea why he had to do this. He didn't hate to do it, but he didn't like it either.

Anedine

"Ahh, thank goodness, you're awake!"

Anedine stared at Ryuu for a moment, then placed her hands on his torso as if she was healing him. "This will take just thirty seconds, Ryuu." She winked and tilted her head at him. She noticed she was beginning to show concern for him, which was fine by her. She, however, couldn't wait to see his friends-- or acquaintances for that matter, soon. After twenty-eight seconds, she grabbed his hands and lifted Ryuu up, and gave a nod to him.

"Now, now, Ryuu, let's head towards safety."

[HylianRose]

Lily - Outside

She fell to her knees, closed her eyes, and brought her hands to her ears, trying to block out the sound. A pounding headache formed as she squeeze her eyes tightly, trying to ignore all of the pain coursing through her body. She peaked up through the noise and noticed the demon fall and... change? With her hands still holding her ears, she stood up and walked over closer to him.

He looked... human now? She blinked as she realized the sounds had stopped. She looked around, at the man now laying on his back in the grass and then at the dark haired demon boy. Her brows furrowed and she sighed, her chest stinging. She closed her eyes and lifted her hand, holding it over the boy's head. She did the same thing she'd done with the boy from before, healed what she could the best she could. She ignored the added pain and then walked over to the white haired boy and did the same for him. She shut her eyes tightly as his pain coursed through her, the burns, her headache intensified. She swayed a bit but managed to stay upright. She put a smile on her face and looked over at the demon boy. "Hi. I'm Lily. Lily Brightendale. It's nice to meet you." She greeted him, her voice small but warm.

[FaithsRose]

Little Feather

Little Feather slammed her hands over her ears whining as both of her spirit animals cried out in pain, Panther faded away almost instantly as the sound waves hit him and Lion slumped to the ground his paws over his ears, when it ended he got to his feet thoroughly disorientated as he tried to return to Little Feather. The flying students had thankfully found the ground, though she noticed a lot were wounded, lifting her flute to her lips she played a few energetic notes before moving over to a group of students nearby offering healing.

A large eagle materialized above her head, he swooped over the crowds of students sprinkling them with a thin blanket of what looked like star dust, it sparkled and was tiny it tingled when it touched anyone and instantly begun to ease their pain though it wasn’t particularly effective at the current moment. During her rounds Little Feather looked up at Eagle flying overhead a grateful smile on her face...however the smile dropped when her eyes fell on a naked cat like man floating in mid air. “Geese ma Squeak!” She exclaimed. “Why are you hanging freely?!” She asked him, covering her eyes flushing with color.

[Aeris]

Bael - Being treated

Conciousness slowly returned to the demon, the boy blinking his eyes slowly, seeing nothing but a blurry... ground. He moved his arm, feeling pretty... fine. Which was strange. Using his true form outside of hell caused a great stress to his human's form muscles, straining them and leaving them sore for at least a day, until he was completely rested. But the feeling wasn't that present now, as if...

He tilted his head up, hearing the gentle voice introducing herself. As if someone had healed me. He thought, frowning. He couldn't look directly at Lily, staring at the ground instead. What is this, exactly?

Remorse?

I'm a demon.

I do not feel remorse. I do not care about anyone other than myself. I do not...

The boy tilted his head up again, the sky-colored eyes staring at the girl, she seemed younger, but not less... beautiful than before. Just less mature. Bael placed both of his palms against the ground, heaving himself up into a sitting position; a cross-legged one. "I know who you are, Lily." Bael spoke, his voice coarse because of the tiredness. Slowly, he brought himself to stand up, taking some cautious steps towards her, a hand moving to sit by her shoulder when he was close enough.

"Never endanger yourself like that again." This time, his voice was clearer- even though it had been a soft whisper to the angel's ear. "Ever."

Or I swear I will kill you.

Or... I swear I wil lbe there to protect you.

No. This can't be right.

The boy kept staring at her eyes, his own blue, intense eyes nearly showing the internal struggle he was having with his own mind.

Is she the key to achieve more power? No, she's not. I can't care for her. I can not care about anyone.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Zivon

The wall behind them turned to flames, he flinched back well fell down landing on his butt. He looked at Crash, purple smoke? What? He can be seeing what he was seeing…but well the student center is in flames so it could be that. Crash didn’t look so good, probably not good at all. The smoke from the flames made Zivon cough violently. “ *Cough* dea-ear God!! *Cough*” He couldn’t stop coughing, he covered his mouth.

“We should move away from here” Crash said, he nodded with agreement. “Outside maybe? Away from the burning building?” Then a loud sound pierced through, Zivon screamed in a high-pitched sound because of that sudden surprise and pain. He closed eyes, shaking his head with that pain. What it seemed for a hour of pain the sound stop, he uncovered his ears, a light dust that looked like stars touched him and oddly he felt calmed and relax…‘Okay…what kind of school is this…’ He could only think that until he fell on the floor, completely exhausted.

Seven

It seemed that he had dozed off until a loud trumpet sound came by. He instantly jumped but regained his composure quickly. His ears flicked when hearing the sound of someone noticing him. He looked down to see a girl holding a flute…odd but interesting he though. He gave a small wave until he jumped down a bit but still on air to see her closer. His tail wagged happily as his ears perked up ‘Little Alice with a flute how fun!’

“Geese ma Squeak!” The girl exclaimed. “Why are you hanging freely?!” She asked him, covering her eyes while showing a flushed color. He gave his famous Cheshire cat smile and laughed. “What? We are all born naked right, nothing to be ashamed of!” he finally jumped on the floor and licked his paw...hand, man that gets confusing.

[Theobromine]

As the white-haired girl asked if Crash was alright, Kathy bit down on her lower lip thinking, ‘That’s exactly what I’d like to know.’ Instead she replied, “Y-Yeah. He’s going to be alright.” She wondered just who she was trying to actually convince with that statement, the girl or her own self?

His attempts to reassure her that he was alright were definitely backfiring. She was beginning to feel that he was definitely not okay, and that he was hiding something serious from her. Not trusting herself to speak, she could only nod. She nodded once to indicate that Dani was fine (probably), and again later on when he asked how she was. His concern for everyone else while ignoring his own condition was wonderful, but at the moment she could feel anger beginning to bubble up inside of her because of it.

Getting back onto her feet with Crash, she listened to his suggestion to leave the place and she opened her mouth to reply. Only to be interrupted by an incredibly noise so low and loud she never would have been able to guess it was the sound of a trumpet. Reflexively, she covered her ears from the surprise sound attack wondering if she would become deaf.

Then watching Crash transform back and forth, clearly unsteady on his feet, she couldn’t take it anymore. Lifting her hand high above her head, Kathy slapped Crash on the cheek with as much force as she could muster. She accidentally cut herself on the protruding canines, but she could hardly feel it as she cried out, “Worry about yourself first! You’re clearly in far worse shape than us!!” Shoulders heaving, she took deep breaths, forcibly willing herself to calm back down. Hiding her hand behind her back, stinging from both the cut and impact, she murmured, “Sorry. You’re right, we should go.”

Seeing Zivon fall, she quickly reached over to help him back up again. Looking around, she stopped and asked, “Hey, I don’t hear the fighting anymore. Did they stop?”

[NaraK]

Ryuu got up willingly, for he was feeling very tired. His body had become quite numb, and his spirits were beginning to calm down. The otaku was barely able to stand by himself due to the amount of power he was holding back right at the moment. Still not used to holding back naturally, the dark-haired boy scratched his cheek. His lips were slightly puckered in embarrassment: she did take his first kiss after all, but she did not seem to think greatly of it. That seemed to calm him down as well, though he was still feeling a lot manlier than usual.

Hoping that David somehow made it out of this crazy mess, the otaku who wore broken sunglasses simply panted out,

"Lead the way, Adenine."

Meanwhile, Terotrax and Cortez got lost in the school building. Cortez bickered on how her pride as a pirate was degrading, feeling ashamed of not even memorizing a map of the school building.

[HylianRose]

Lily - Outside

All she could do was smile at him, the pain in her body too much for her to even begin to move. Even his hand on her shoulder sent pain spiking through her body.

"I'm so glad..." She whispered, a small smile held on her small face. She turned her head, wincing at the pain when she heard his words. "I don't mind." Was all she said, her eyes watching his own innocently. "Though... I don't know how you know me. Have we m-met before?" She asked, wincing through the pain. She didn't remember meeting him but something about him did seem familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She'd never had a problem with demons even though everyone in heaven had always told her differently. They were cruel creatures, only capable of hate. Lily... She couldn't believe that. She had to believe that they were kind, like her. Everyone had the capacity, right?

She blinked, her eyes growing wide as the pain intensified. "What?" She mumbled, looking down. The entire front of her body was now covered in blood, the thin blue shirt soaked in it. She blinked looking down at it and twitched, her body shaking. "I... I need to go..." She mumbled as she fell back, her eyes closing as she did.

Her world went blank...

---

When she woke she was in a pitch black room with no walls insight. She looked around, trying to find some source of light. She looked down and she could see her own body, almost as if she were the only thing in the entire room.

Why do I remember this place?

Her brows furrowed as she looked around and she blinked, trying to make it go away. "Hello?" She called, trying to find out where she was.

This has got to be some weird dream. I'm going to wake up and Dad's going to be standing over my bed with that worried look on his face.

She walked a bit forward but stopped when a small white dot appeared in the distance. She narrowed her eyes, trying to see what it was. She began to run towards it, trying to close the distance faster. A few minutes later and the image grew larger. A man with purple hair walked slowly to her, a smile on his face. She eyed him carefully, wondering who he was. He had a tattoo of a feather on his arm and a ring on his finger. He smiled at her warmly and mouthed her name. She tilted her head, confused and tried to reach out to him.

"Who are you?" She asked and as she got closer, the man's smile faded. Her eyes grew wide as blood began dripping down his face and he mouthed her name again. "No!" She screamed, racing towards him. He disappeared and when she turned to look for him, another image appeared. A man with large angel wings wearing golden armor. He gave her a small smirk, something sinister in his eyes. Her heart beat sped up, sweat forming on her brow. "Who are you?" She asked and again the man simply mouthed her name and then faded.

Soon, she felt herself falling...

No... floating.

Bubbles?

Her eyes grew wide as she began to struggle, drowning.

Water?!

Oona - hallway

Oona forced herself to calm down when she saw Zivon fall, she forced herself closer to the fire to get to his side "Zivon?" she could feel tears coming to her eyes "come on, we have to go!" she felt like paper but still pulled as gently as she could at his arm, trying to get him to his feet "Zivon? come on!"

Andromeda- student center

she had completely lost sight of Lily and the place was on fire. there was a loud sound of a trumpet and she finally decided to just run. she actually managed to push her way all the way to the stairs but literally as she was going down she tripped and fell down to the next flight, cursing. she checked to make sure her veil was still on and stood up, people were pushing down in droves and she couldn't get past them to get the rest of the way to the ground floor.
