Sekhemi watched as everything finished and he let out a soft sigh as he returned to his normal self. As everything went back to normal Arken began to place everyone in groups. He ignored his song for now. He looked to Rika and see he was no longer in his angelic form before looking at himself. He let out a soft sigh before he turned towards Ruby who came over to him.
"Let's get going then, shall we?"
He didn't know where exactly they were going he simply left the academy and began to walk. After reaching the end of Leval's trail he continued to walk before the floor around him and Ruby began to turn to sand. It seemed they were heading into a desert. He gave a small smile before walking forward. He was used to the hot desert and in fact it didn't bother him at all. He casually walked on through not bothering to check on Ruby as he had a feeling she too would be able to handle the heat easily. Sabertooth walked beside him, honestly as of right now he didn't feel the need to ride him as of yet which was strange, normally he would do but this time things were different.
Rika transformed back into his normal self and when he did he turned to Llium who was already with him and waiting. He slowly lifted his hand and stared at it for a minute with a small smile on his face.
"I can't believe that happened. Come Llium, let's go."
He smiled before walking out of the academy and began to explore. He knew the island was huge and there would be a lot of different places to go to, he just wondered where he would end up. He continued to walk until he came to a destroyed gate. He then looked inside and saw what used to be some sort of village but now were just ruins. There was still fire everywhere, shields, swords and spears lying about the floors, rubble from buildings all over the floor. Some buildings were intact but were toppling over. Rika slowly walked in and began to look around. He turned to Llium for a moment with a concerned look.
"This place.....what happened here? Whatever happened, there's nobody around. Let's split up and see if we can find any clues."
He then walked into an old church that was toppling over, he wasn't sure how long it would last, he had to move fast, for any added weight could make the building topple over completely. For now however the rocky walls were holding it up, barely.
Kuro smiled at Arken's praise, and then when he was placed with Isabella the two looked together and gave each other a smile. Kuro looked to John for a moment then looked to Yoruichi. He waved his hand and quickly summoned a collar. On the front of the collar he drew al three runes then he looked over to her.
"Yoruichi, I'm going to place the three runes on your neck as well."
She gave a soft now, trusting Kuro, after all he knew his magic well. He used his magic to take off some of the fur on the back of the neck then planted the runes on her skin using magic so it would hurt. He then regrew the fur and placed the collar on her.
"There, thank you John, I was actually going to try the runes myself before you told me. Let's goo Yoruichi."
She nodded before Kuro drew his magic from her and then they all left and quickly began to explore the island. It wasn't long until they came to a large dome, and inside was a village trapped. Isabella slowly walked up to it and placed her hand on the dome before turning to Kuro.
"Hmmmm. Interesting, this dome, it was created by very strong magic. If we enter we will have no access to our own magic for this barrier, it is made from powerful Anti Magic. Kuro, let's be careful."
Kuro nodded before going inside then quickly followed by Isabella. However as soon as John's clone would enter, it would vaporize completely. Kuro and Isabella looked to each other, before turning to look at the dome. Kuro spoke softly, a little worried.
"Isabella, do you feel that? The strong sense that we're trapped?"
She nodded before placing her hand on the dome, but no matter how hard she push she could get through. She lowered her hand and slowly looked towards the front.
"If we're going to get out of here, then we're going to need to disable the dome first. Let's take a look around to see what we can find."
The two nodded and with that they went their separate ways to explore the small village. Kuro was, of course with Yoruichi.
It had been a while now since he last saw Shela, he sighed and jumped off her bed. What trouble had she gotten herself into this time? He looked to the locked door before turning to the slightly open window. He climbed back onto the bed and then jumped out the window. He grew fire wings to let himself fall gently. Once on the floor he walked through the academy, following the students who were coming out. He soon came to Leval and when he did he spoke loudly.
"Hey, you! You were last with Shela, I haven't seen her for a while now, well, for a whole day even! Where is she?"
She looked around and couldn't see her about, he began to think to himself for a moment, knowing she wouldn't wander off on her own, no, she was way too scared for that, so where was she?
Destructos looked over to Kong as he came towards him, he then quickly walked out the Academy. Knowing Kong could easily fly, he took of into the skies and flew quickly. He didn't know about Titan, but with how stupid he was, it wouldn't make a difference. However, Titan could fly and grew bone wings to quickly follow. He was however Rika gave him a shot of intelligence, and although it was temporally he held on to that as much as he could. He wasn't as smart as he was with Rika's held but he was exactly stupid now. The two flew off quickly. They continued to fly until they reach a sewer. Destructos stopped and landed for a moment before looking down the manhole.
"Hurry up, before I lose you."
He jumped down and began to walked through the sewer wit Titan close behind.
Fianciona and Kreia were quick to leave, as expected. Fianciona took the lead, flying off quickly but made sure Kreia was close behind. As she flew she came to a large cave, she landed softly then turned to Kreia.
"Let's take a look in here."
She hadn't explored the whole island yet, so she wasn't sure what she would encounter. As they went through the cave they came to a narrow pathway and the entire cave was filled with lava. There was only one way through, which meant that a trap was most likely due. She turned to Kreia and spoke softly.
"Let's be careful here, anything could come and attack us."
She nodded before slowly walking along the path.
Miarikia looked to Reptile before looking to Flash, normally she would just mount Flash and he'd run her to wherever she was going but, this time that was not an option. She looked to Reptile again before giving a small nod.
"Let's get going then."
With that she began to leave alongside Flash who let out a soft sigh. He hated walking, it was so slow! The two left the academy and after making sure Reptile was following, Miarikia began to walk off to explore the island. After a bit of walking they came to a huge swamp, there was nothing but water and it came to about 5ft high. Flash was literally swimming at this point. Miarikia sighed and looked beck to everyone,
"This place is dangerous, we have no footing here, we're going to be slow and sluggish, open to attack."
She then continued to wade through the water. Flash moaned softly, he already hated this idea.
"God damn it, couldn't you chosen a better place?"
Miarikia didn't answer, she could of done and honestly wished she had of done but they were here now, so this was where they were going to explore, if they liked it or not.
Wolf looked to Sapphire and when she was ready he smiled, he walked out of the academy before stopping to look at Sapphire again. If he transformed they could easily explore a lot faster.
"Get on my back, and hold on tight."
He transformed into his battle mode and then stared at her, assuming she got on his back he went full speed ahead, he would put his hand back to hold her tight while swinging off trees but mostly he ran and jumped on all fours. If she didn't get on his back he would simply grab and hold her. It wouldn't take them long at all before they came to a small building. Wolf transformed and slowly walked inside not saying a word just yet. What he saw was rather unimpressive, it was a small library with as little as 50 books, maybe a little more.
"Is....this it? This won't be hard to explore."
He looked around slowly, honestly there wasn't much to see as of yet.
Red giggled softly as the fight was over, she then looked towards Crow who she was currently paired up with. She watched as he walked up to her and then created a huge 10ft paper snake and sat on it happily.
"Climb on, it will be a nice ride."
If he did or didn't get on, wouldn't matter. The snake would lead her out of the academy. She then stopped and looked back inside for a moment.
"Oh, one second."
She created a large paper hand which went through the academy halls, all the way to her dorm room. It unlocked the door, grabbed Serpent, locked the door again and then finally, grabbed Serpent once more and brought him back to her resting upon her lap.
"Hey Serpent, we're going to explore the island, this time you can come with me."
Serpent sighed, and gently gave a nod.
"Finally, I've been SO bored alone. I haven't turned anything to stone in AGES."
He looked around and then stared at a beetle which quickly turned to stone. He then let out a sigh in relief, it felt so good to turn things to stone. After that Red and Serpent along with Crow began to travel forward. It wasn't long before they came to a rainbow field, it was beautiful, you even had a clear view of the rainbow. It was just too perfect, as if it were a scene taken straight from a movie. Everything was so beautiful. Red let a large smile come on her face as she spoke loudly.
"Woooow, look at the view! It's beautiful!"
She smiled some more as she slowly began to enter the large field.
Sky smiled to Carol as she came up towards him he then looked to his ring which was still on the floor. He aimed his palm at it and made it disappear. For now, he didn't need it, or that was how he felt thanks to Rika. Besides if he were to help he needed to use all of his power. He flew out of the academy and when Carol stood next to him again he spoke.
"Let's get going, I'll lead."
He smiled, and flew onwards. He soon came to a large lake of some kind and was about to fly back when he sensed something odd. He looked back to the lake and stared at it for a moment before speaking softly.
"Using my magic, I can sense that there is some sort of underwater cave down there."
He looked to her and then suddenly a large orb appeared around them two. Without hesitation he flew into the water, the lake itself was at least 7ft deep. When he finally got to the bottom he looked at the cave and flew inside. Once inside he removed the barrier and looked around, the was about 4ft of water and the entire walls and roof were made purely out of water. It was amazing. He smiled and waited for Carol.
Pozuzy looked towards Zephroth who had growled at him before looking to Leval for a moment. He saw that a lot of the students had left now. He turned to Leval not sure where they should start first. The island was big, very big and there were a lot of places to check out.
"Where do you want to go first? Pozuzy doesn't know."
He looked at the map of the island but honestly it didn't show too much, as some places were very well hidden. He looked to Leval waiting for his response before moving on. He didn't bother with Zephroth, for one, it didn't seemed to like him.
Arken had already left however before he did he waved his hand over Zephroth and smiled, this would allow him to talk. Before leaving he spoke quickly.
"Zephroth, I have given you the ability to talk, that should help your team mates out quite a bit, be careful now and good luck."
He then teleported to a large castle and let out a soft sigh. He knew this thing was still here, in fact it was where he used to live. He hadn't been here for such a large time, now it was abandoned and crumbling, it was old, very old. He slowly walked towards the castle doors and tried to push the door open, but, surprisingly the castle was still locked up. He waved his hand and the doors unlocked after that he began to open the large castle doors and walk inside. He slowly shut the doors behind him and waved his hand again, suddenly the area became lit up, it was an alternative, since the castle's lights weren't working now. With that he began to explore the castle.
