"Sure. The prefects are more accustomed to baby sitting than I am." she replied coolly, her piercing stare still not leaving Jade's eyes.
Ivy was not one to hide her power and thus, her mastery over dark magic was common knowledge through the Academy. However, it would never be good enough for her. Self-improvement was an eternal goal, the pinnacle always remaining out of reach. If she was to become the living apotheosis of dark magic, her pursuit for greatness had to be relentless and her craving for challenge equally so. It was one of the reasons she had goaded Carolyn into a fight several weeks ago.
The hood receded, but her gaze did not.
Ivy had been sitting beside the lake, cross-legged and meditating as she allowed the Babylonian Gardens to subsume her essence. In the middle of her nirvana, however, she was rudely interrupted by a girl she had not seen before.
"Hm." she grumbled, peering up at Jade with one eye open. "No."
"GET OFF ME!" yelled Carolyn hysterically, shoving Dark away with a powerful telekinetic blast.
None of the others knew what she did. None of them knew exactly who it was under that mask. Would they believe her? Kyo had always seemed so stable and good-natured during his tenure at the Academy, it seemed almost impossible that he would commit something like this. Whatever his justification for it was, the fact was that he was now a murderer. The brutal nature of the killing suggested that he was also a monster and a danger to society. He needed to be subdued and handed in to the appropriate authorities now as she would not allow an aberration like that to walk among the students in the Academy.
Finally realising that the dome was far too advanced for her to break, Carolyn shut her eyes tightly and projected an excruciating telepathic assault into Kyo's mind. He howled and fell on his back, thrashing around as the formidable Psion attempted to incapacitate him.
Carolyn struggled against Kyo's defense, falling to one knee as echoes of his memories flooded her mind and ghostly voices resonated in her head.
"Get him out of here, don't let him see them like that!"
"I'm sorry, son, they're gone."
"Why did you kill Abigail?"
"Snuffing her out was fun."
"I'm the one in control!"
"Taking turns on her before we killed her was the most beautiful form of control imaginable..."
Carolyn gasped and immediately relinquished the grip she had on Kyo's mind, horrified by what she had heard. What was she doing? Of course, the revelation of his mother's horrible final moments was a traumatic discovery, but he still deserved to be subdued!
Before she could contemplate on whether or not her decision was a misguided one, the dome shattered and Kyo rose up into the air swiftly. An unearthly roar emanated from his mask and he spread his hands wide, unleashing a barrage of incredible and devastating telekinetic waves that cracked the floor and the walls, lifting all who were in its path off their feet.
Unable to resist the force of the waves, Carolyn was swept up into the air and hurtled down the alley way, crashing through the wind shield of a parked car with the alarm blaring in her ears as she drifted in and out of consciousness.
Completely exhausted with the involuntary release of telekinetic energy, exacerbated by his frenetic emotions, Kyo quickly shot off the distance, flying as far, far away from here as he could.

-Kyo has left Scenario #9-
Kyo snarled at the presence of Dark and Cancer, the horrible urge to attack them rushing through his veins. Staring at Dark, however, seemed to dissipate the rage and brought his humanity back for a moment until that revolting, psychotic, stupid and horribly eccentric helmet-clad student from the Academy interfered. He felt as if this very private moment of sacrosanctity, of private glory, was being defiled by these invaders.

"What the fuck do you sound so pleased about?" he asked harshly, his breathing becoming faster as he ripped his attention away from Cancer.

"I know who you are now," replied the man simply, a cruel smile curving his lips. "I know I'm not getting out of this one. You must have waited a long time."

"Why did you kill Abigail?" he demanded through clenched teeth, his voice low to ensure the others didn't hear him.

"Abigail?" the man repeated inquisitively with the air of one discussing something pleasant rather than infanticide. "Ohhh, the kid. Snuffing her out was fun. She could have been so many things... too bad I blew her brains out."

Kyo made a strangled noise, an odd mixture between a roar, a sob and a cry of revulsion. The blade pressed deeper into the man's throat, the blood dripping onto the floor even faster. What had he expected? When he pictured this moment, he expected the man who orchestrated the murder of his entire family to be begging for forgiveness. Instead, his grand moment turned out to be nothing like the way he had imagined it to be. It did not feel like justice. The way he felt was exactly how that pale, screaming ten year old child felt when he found himself surrounded by the corpses of his family.... helpless.

"I'm the one in control!" he said desperately, trying to wrest the situation back into his control but feeling it slip away from his fingers.

"That's all you fucking abominations can think about, huh? Control." sneered the man, his hands visibly trembling as he noticed the amount of blood dripping from the cut in his neck. "I know what you came here to do, but you don't walk away the victor. You wanna hear something really funny about control?"

Kyo remained silent, wondering if he should slit the man's throat before he could say another word, but an odd sense of curiosity allowed him to continue.

"Daddy was the first to go, then poor little Abby. Your mother was last. Taking turns on her before we killed her was the most beautiful form of control imaginable..."

Under the weight of this horrible revelation, the fragility that had affected Kyo so badly over the years finally came to a head. His mind snapped.

Screaming in grief, he flipped the man around and threw him to the floor, immediately pouncing onto him and creating a large telekinetic dome that would prevent any of the bystanders from preventing what he needed to do. The man's gleeful shrieks of mirth turned to screams of agony as Kyo brought the sharp, telekinetic blade down onto his chest and stabbed him repeatedly. The knife flew up and came swooping down, cutting into the flesh and causing blood to spurt out all over Kyo's mask and cloak. Nothing bothered him. Nothing was more important than the continued pain of this man, nothing was more important than ensuring that this vile, vicious cretin was dispatched of in the most horrible and brutal way possible.

Kyo, in his frenzied attack, lost count of the frenetic stab wounds he had delivered to this man. All he knew that he was alive but slowly fading away. The last blow came slowly, with Kyo holding the knife far above the man, savouring the moment. He gripped the handle of the blade tightly with both hands and plunged it into the man's forehead with such force that his entire skull caved in.

He blinked.

The gruesome sight of what was once the man's face greeted him and he recoiled in horror. The gratuitous carnage, the wreckage of the carcass and the fresh, metallic-scented blood that had bathed his cloak were the triggers that allowed him to seethe savagery and depravity he had sunk into. The atavism of his actions struck against him like an unbound train, causing him to grab his hair through the cloak and whimper with fright, the screams and yells of Carolyn barely registering in his ears as she tried desperately to break the powerful telekinetic barrier he had created.

"I can't break it!" screamed Carolyn, desperately gesturing for the others to help her crack the dome. The others had had to watch the whole, horrific spectacle and were completely unable to do anything about it. The stabbing that had seemed to last an eternity for Kyo registered for only several short seconds for the others around the dome.

"Help me!" she pleaded, repeatedly striking at the dome with telekinetically-aided kicks.
Kyo created a telekinetic blade which gave off an ethereal black glow. He sliced the rope binding the man's wrists together in one fluid motion and roughly lifted him to his feet, wrapping one thick arm around him while the other pointed the blade at his neck.
"Move one step closer and I'll cut his head off." he warned Aphrodite and Carolyn, completely unable to recognise his voice through the modulator attached to the bottom of the mask.
"Let him go." ordered Carolyn firmly, her paleness betraying her actual emotional state.
"Don't you dare tell me what to do!" he growled at her, so incensed at the entire situation that the blade against the man's throat drew blood and the screams began once again.
Kyo ripped the duct tape off, vindictive relish coarsing over him as the man's blood-curdling screams pierced the still night air.
"I always knew I'd come back for you." he whispered into the man's ear. "Do you remember it? Do you remember the day that you ruined me?"
"My god, it's you... the one we missed...." replied the man, his screams suddenly ending. To Kyo's great consternation, the relish was now in his hostage's voice as he finally realised the identity of the one who had paid for his kidnap.
"Well, I'm following him because I'm a prefect. You're following him because you're an annoying sidekick."
The faintest of smiles crossed her face.
With the duo now re-united over the barrier, they ran forwards silently and turned yet another corner. Carolyn had expected to have to search much further to find Kyo, but to her great surprise, she had finally caught up to him. The sight of what lay before her was alarming.
The tall, cloaked figure stood over a bound man who was on his knees, his muffled screams permeating through the duct tape on his mouth. His face was swollen and his head was bleeding heavily, as if he had been beaten severely beaten.
"What the fuck?" she said breathlessly, rooted to the spot with apprehension as she stared at Kyo.
He slowly tilted his head to the side, aware of the two new visitors. He did not immediately react, but Carolyn knew that if she so much as moved a muscle, something terrible would happen.
"Jesus Christ!" exclaimed Carolyn irritably, turning the same corner that Kyo had and stopping for a short moment to address Aphrodite. "Do not get us caught, OK? Just follow me and stay quiet."
With her orders out of the way, Carolyn led Aphrodite through the labyrinthine maze of decrepit alleyways; by the looks of the place, they were in a really bad part of town. What could Kyo possibly be doing here?
"Fuck!" whispered Carolyn as she walked straight into a telekinetic barrier. "He must be close, but I don't think he's seen us yet."
Carolyn flew high and slowly lowered herself over the path that the telekinetic barrier had blocked, carefully scrutinising for any structural weaknesses. It seemed that Kyo had only erected the barrier to ward off any humans in the area and had clearly not anticipated on any Wanderers following him, given the ease with which Carolyn was able to land onto the ground in front of the barrier.
"Hurry!"
Carolyn grimaced and looked around, unable to find exactly where Aphrodite was standing but becoming even more relentless in her pursuit of Kyo when she heard the voice.
"Aphrodite, stay out of this!" she relayed firmly via the telepathic mind link, knowing full well that her fellow Psion had an extremely inquisitive nature and was rather nosy when it came to other people's business.
The irony of this was not lost on Carolyn but she still struggled forward, knowing that the man she was chasing was up to something sinister. What he was planning to do was a complete enigma to her; all she knew was that that get-up was far too ominous for him to be doing anything good.
Kyo eventually reached the end of the crowd and slinked into a nearby alleyway, traversing through the emptiness swiftly and still checking back occasionally. He had not let down the illusion just in case anyone saw him, but the drain on his power would soon be over. He would soon find what he had been looking for. The deal had been made and the money had exchanged hands the last time he had been in Ceteris. It was now or never.
Scenario #9

Kyo stared at himself in the mirror, his heart pounding as he gazed at the beast in the reflection: tall, cloaked and masked with a gaunt, silvery skull that stared out with dead and hollow eyes,

Although he had been apprehensive about Balthazar's training regime, the mad instructor had elevated his powers to places previously unimaginable. It gave him a feeling of supremacy, of raw strength, of true power. The manacles of Alvarez's forced servile complaisance towards the humans had been shattered and now he was free. Balthazar had not only gifted him with the physical fortitude to make things happen, he had blessed him with the mental fortitude to see it through.

Was mercy moral? Was it just? Or was mercy an abstract forged in evil? Perhaps there was no higher morality than punishing those who committed injustice. Perhaps the small enclaves of 'extremist' wanderer organisations had the right idea about humans and what they were capable of. Or was it simply a matter of specific humans? Surely evil was ubiquitous among all manners of society, whether Wanderer or Human? In that case, only the worst elements of each race would need to be purged. The punishment of the scourge of humankind had to be inflicted, and he would be the one to do it. He would become a paragon.

The wolves, baying for blood, would have their thirst sated tonight.
Carolyn flew towards the moving speck in the distance, maintaining a meticulous awareness of the distance between her and her target and its movements. Each time the figure looked back, Carolyn would serve behind a building and remain there until she felt it safe to come out. Soon, hunter and quarry were approaching downtown Ceteris.

Suddenly, and with the purposeful intent of shaking any pursuers from his trail, the cloaked figure swooped down and landed in the middle of a crowd of shoppers who did not seem to notice his arrival at all. The improvement in his telepathic power of illusion was nothing short of astounding.

Carolyn flew down into an alleyway where no one could see her and stepped out hurriedly, brusquely walking through a crowd of animated and, unfortunately, inconsiderate shoppers who hustled and bustled their way past her. She tried to keep her target in sight but found herself barely able to keep up as he retreated further into the distance, blending in with the crowd. After initially using the night sky as his cover, Kyo had now managed to slither his way into the frenetic crowd like a serpent wading through tall grass, camouflaged and poised to deliver a deadly blow.
Yeah, you two Daft Punk fans could have your very own scenario! Just to make it official: APPROVED!
