Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

Naval tried to think for a second which way she had came in. Turning on her heel she decided to walk backwards then continuing to move forward. Moving she smiled a little thinking she was about to exit but instead ran into a fork in the woods. Was it left or right. She didn't remember making a turn or going a different way. She frowned a little knowing only one way she was going to escape these woods. Closing her eyes she held tightly on to her book and tried to think about the wind as a plane or a board of some sort. She was a sylph for gods sake , flying should be in her blood. She breathed in and out before releasing a few waves of wind from underneath her. She lifted up slightly trying to imagine herself as one with the wind. Slowly she became to get higher in the air, enough to see the tip of the castle. Gasping she smiled but lost control of her balance with the air. Suddenly she jolted forward into a few trees then through them. Screaming a little she was thrown from the woods toward the castle. Closing her eyes shut she allowed the wind to just guide her and if she had hit something well, she hopped it was something soft.


With a thud she landed against something (Riff)then she flew back a little hitting a cold yet soft grassy ground. Dropping her books she landed on her back with a thud while knocking her head against the ground. Putting her hand over her head she groaned out with a few sniffles from here and there as she could feel the pain from her head.


(Trying to get her in where people are lol)
 
Richter gave a harsh laugh as he was hit with several ice spikes, piercing his shoulder and ripping one of his cheeks off. He jumped, switching from running on grass to sliding on ice, holstering his revolver.


He jumped again, landing on Riff's chest. His leg's wrapped around the boy's torso, and he grabbed his head, pulling upwards with all his strength.


"I'm sure you're not using this, so I think I'll hold onto it." Richter said. The vampire at this point was fully intent on ripping Riff's head off.
 
"Really? I could borrow it? That's great!" Lily replied.


Perhaps Lily was getting a bit too caught up in everything. At the moment, she wasn't really considering evil plans or taking over the school or even the life-and-death battle that may be happening at that very moment. She was enjoying herself and allowing herself to like the people she was with. After Anya had some of Lily's shortcake, she prepared her spoon once again.


"Thanks, Rose, I'd love to try some."


Lily took a bite, and once more forgot her machinations.


When Rose asked if there was anything else Lily wanted to do, however, and cited the work to be done, she remembered.


"Right... yes, that's right. Work. So much to do. Friends... I only need one. Rose is just someone I'm using, right?"





Lily slowed down her eating for a moment, and looked pensively into her dessert.


"I'll soon have her enthralled, anyways. She'll do whatever I say and like it."





Lily's spoon sliced through the cake with not so much as a hint of resistance.


"She already belongs to me."





Her glance soon returned to Rose, with not a hint of her truest desires showing. Only a polite smile.


"Truth be told, I don't know much about the city's attractions. I'm not from around here, and I'm not old enough to drive or anything so... I actually haven't been to the city much at all."
 
John smiles back at the person who invited him to lunch.


"Actually I'll have to take a rain check on that, sorry! It looks like I'm getting a call."


John pulled out his phone and pretended to talk on it as he walked away and outside of the academy. He smiled, perfect. He was alone now, and now he could follow his shadow. Originally he didn't think too much of it. His voodoo doll was merely meant for observation, however something interesting apparently had happened. He could feel the voodoo doll getting excited. His twisted smile broadened. His voodoo doll never got excited unless something truly terrible was happening. He approached the forest and waited roughly one hundred feet away from his still hiding doll. At this distance he could hear it whispering to him. He smiled, learning exactly what was going on as he took shelter in a tree. He never was much for direct confrontation, but something this interesting and one of Luci's brats, well. He simply couldn't help himself.
 
"You should surprise us, Rose." Anya agreed, polishing off her dessert. "As long as it's fun, I think we'll have fun!" she exclaimed, pulling Lily into a hug.
 
"Okay then. I'll give you guys a tour then." Rose took another bite of her sundae before looking outside. It was already dark out. Perhaps today was not the best time to be getting lost in the city. "Maybe not today though. It looks like it's getting pretty late."


Rose frowned. She was having fun so far and didn't really want it to end so soon. But it was dark out and today was a school night as well. She remained silent for a spell, trying to think up a solution.


Suddenly her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands in delight. "I know. Why don't you guys come with me this weekend? I need to go somewhere and you guys can come along. I promise it won't be boring." That weekend, Rose was due at the castle to meet up with her parents. She needed to be there to go over some plans for the 15th anyway, so it wouldn't be much of an inconvenience. Plus, Anya said she wanted to see the castle, so this was killing two birds with one stone.


(Sorry for offering to go around the city and taking it away. Sort of realized the fight was going to be shorter than I thought . . . )

"I . . . I'm fine," Bunny said, holding onto her stomach. The strike had knocked the wind out of her and probably rearranged a few organs, but she'd live. She watched as Mel stood there in front of them, but not attacking. Instead, the black-haired girl was looking around, pissed that she couldn't find what she was looking for. Them. "A-are we invisible?"


The angel thought about a sneak attack while she was still cloaked, but the glow from Azure's weapon told her he was already going on the offensive. She recognized the dagger as the one she saw in his room last night. As he readied his attack, it seemed whatever he used to cloak them was gone as she saw Mel's eyes quickly shift to them. Bunny saw Mel flip back before Azure sent a blast of energy at her, causing a bit of an explosion.


When Bunny was able to bring herself to open her eyes, the first thing she saw was a bright white magic circle, a pentagram. Behind it was Mel, holding a card up at the center of the circle, a tarot card, the ace of pentacles. Whatever it was, it seemed to shield most of the impact of the attack, but not all of it. Mel's left leg, from her mid calf to her ankle seemed to be injured. The leather of her boot had burned away and beneath, she was bleeding.


This was good. They got a hit. Or so Bunny had thought. Until Mel ran toward them, either ignoring her leg or perhaps less hurt than the angel had thought. This time, the girl glanced over at Azure, as if finally noticing him. She ran right at him now, but just as she got to him, she didn't attack him right away. Instead she pivoted on her heel, spinning behind him and attempted to elbow him in the back to knock him aside.


Whether or not it worked, Mel then turned her attention to Bunny. The angel's hand began to glow as she tried to fire a blast of light at her. If Mel was human, it probably wouldn't do much, but it could at least provide a distraction.


But the laser was avoided, only grazing Mel's arm as the black-haired girl grabbed Bunny's right arm. Mel twisted it behind Bunny's back, then after placing her foot on the angel's elbow for leverage, gave a swift twisting yank, producing a large crack and scream. When she dropped the angel, Bunny grabbed onto her arm, grimacing as she noticed how there was not a slight bend in her forearm. Luckily, she was left-handed but this was going to be a problem. Also it hurt. A lot.


For a moment after Bunny's arm broke, Mel was still, seeming oddly calm. But then her head snapped to the direction of the others, right before a large crash could be heard. Mel then ran off, the slight stagger in her step disappearing as she ran on.


~~~~~


As something hit Riff, he instinctively swung back, trying to swat it, only to find out that it had already gone away. And that it was a girl. "Stay out of the way!" he shouted.


Distracted by the girl, he wasn't ready for Richter's assault. And as the vampire pulled on his head, Riff clenched his jaw, trying not to let on how much his neck felt like it was tearing. There was a soft thud and Riff looked up to see the silhouette of someone in the sky. It was Vash, fist raised in the air.


The white-haired demon came down but by the time he thrust his fist to hit the vampire, Richter was gone*. Instead, Vash's fist made contact with Riff's chest, pushing the blond down with so much force, the ground beneath them split, leaving a small-sized crater. Riff stood up, clutching his chest and trying to catch his breath. "Watch where you're punching." If he didn't have his scales up, Riff's ribs would have broken and his lungs may have been pulverized.


Vash pouted. "You're welcome." He turned to Richter and gave him a wide smile. "Looks like it's finally Vash's turn to shine."


*I'm sorry for the bit of bunnying here. I'm assuming Richter would dodge, but if I've got it wrong, then tell me and I'll edit it.
 
Naval sat up as she held her head. When Riff had yelled at her she jumped a little. " I'm very sorry...sorry so sorry...I'll um make it up to you...I'm reall sorry..." She bowed her head many times as she got to her feet. Her gaze turned to the fight at hand. What was going on and why were her first two questions. She thought to herself as a trainee in the disciplinary squad should she not do something. Of course those thoughts were pushed when she wanted to pay back the one she had hit.


"Is there something I can do to help. I am a sylph...a wind user. If maybe I can assist you?"


(I'm in my phone so sorry for any errors)

Vash's yell alerted the vampire to an oncoming attack. Upon seeing the oncoming punch, he twisted his body around, kicking Riff away, then drawing his .45s as the fist made contact with his ribcage.


The wet cracks and squish of bone and organ squelched out as Vash's hand passed out Richter's back. He gave a cheek splitting grin as he pressed closer, forcing the arm further into him. He could feel it; half his lung was gone, just as planned. He opened his maw, and spat out several pints of blood into Vash's face. Satisfied, he pressed one gun against Vash's head and aimed the other at Riff before pulling the triggers.
 
"I guess in a sense that we are Bunny"


-Hmm..... what sort of spell is that.....-


Azure grinned, shocked at how hurt she got from that, he wasn't sure what she was doing with that her magic circle... it didn't make much sense to him..... He had half a mind to ask if Mel was alright... but he figured that that would be rather strange, it couldn't be helped that they had to fight each other.


-I didn't expect it to explode somewhat at the very least... but, she looks like she'll have to stop?-


Azure went wide-eyed as she approached, he wasn't sure if she was going to just ignore him or go after Bunny, but he froze when she got right in front of him. He was not sure at all what would happen from there, but then she weaved around him, and struck him from behind.


"Aghh..."


He got knocked forward a bit, and turned around, backing up to distance himself when he saw her closing in on Bunny, and began to use that one attack he saw her do earlier. Since he was standing in front of Bunny when Mel knocked him away, that light blast was headed right for him. Instinctively to best protect himself from getting knocked away from Bunny's magical attack, he held his weapon in front of him with both hands securely as it headed his way. As he came in contact with Azure's weapon, it slowed almost to an immediate halt along with Azure being shifted back from his position slightly, but still firm in stance, and began pulsate a white-ish yellow, as it began absorbing it. It dissolved and became absorbed entirely into his weapon..... the marks had advanced up toward halfway up the right side of his neck, being the only part of the marks visible on him.


"Ugh!!!"


The new magic made itself home in Azure, and with it, the old pain he used to get whenever he in-took magic returned, and held his head with both hands, shaking his head while looking down as he gritted his teeth. He snapped out of his trance like pained state when he heard the snapping of something along with a scream. He saw Bunny on the ground holding her arm. Azure tightened his grip on his weapon, then stared at her as she snapped her head around, in a controlled anger.


"Mel..... you... ...!?"


Azure saw something rather odd that he didn't notice before.....


-Did.......... she not have any pupils.....??-


Then someone crashed nearby, causing him to flinch and shudder. He looked over, but then saw Mel making a run for it...


"Mel... wait!"


He began to run after her, but saw that Kylier was instead going to chase her down..... knowing her though, she wouldn't do anything to stop her, and hopefully not help her... but at least keep an eye on her..... but would probably get in Azure's way at the very least, and let her go... besides Bunny was injured, and went over to her side, and knelled down by her


"Bunny... what did she do? Did she break something on you?"


Azure looked at the arm she was holding onto... He was glad that he saved the glove brand magic he absorbed earlier, and for its variety of uses..... sadly, that meant that the healing it could potentially do was greatly mitigated... but it was better than nothing.


"Try to hold still just a little Bunny... I'll see what I can do..."


-Let this work... please...-



Azure's weapon glowed as a soft light went over Bunny's arm... however, as quickly as it came, it had already left, and only had the effect of a pain killer at most, internal damage was something that beginner healing magic was not going to solve... but hopefully she can bare the pain now. He could feel that he completely exhausted all of the glove magic he had in him, as little as it was


"Is that better Bunny?"





Azure looked over as he heard a familiar voice, and looked over in confusion


~~~~~


Kylier was still in pursuit, but she somehow disappeared, and stopped where she was in her cloaked state...


-Hmm... to think that she got away... and that she was so calm after she inflicted all that damage upon Bunny...-


Kylier smirked


-She really is an interesting one... I wonder.....-
 
Naval gasped when she saw the gun point toward the male. Quickly starting into a jog she lunged forward as air began to circle around her wrist then coming over her fist. Narrowing her eyes she shifted into a rather serious phase as she collided her fist with the gun as the trigger was pulled. with the force of her wind the bullet was knocked back along with the gun and the one who was holding it. Landing on tow feet she held up her fist as a mass circle of wind began to circle around her small frame. Without wasting time she lunged once more pushing out her left arm, where the wind from her wrist would push outward and leave her wrist to knock back the one with the guns. adding another move to her quick punch she stopped her lung and slammed her foot down on the ground creating shockwaves of wind to push him farther back to where he would hit a tree.
 
John sighed, that idiot girl. She ruined everything. Something had to be done, otherwise things would turn out very poorly. He shivered a bit as he knew Sammael was thinking the same thing. Sam was clearly excited, that was bad. John sighed as he smiled and walked out into the clearing slowly clapping.


"Well done. That was stupid even by my standards."


He looks to the other combatants,a smile on his face that would send chills down a normal person's spine.

As Azure asked what happened, Bunny looked down at her arm. The unnatural bend in it was already black and blue from blood pooling beneath the surface. "My arm," she said. "I'm pretty sure it's broken."


His weapon began glowing again, as a faint glow traveled to her arm. Bunny could feel the pain subsiding, fading to something more akin to a dull sting. Her arm wasn't healing though. That was apparent by its appearance, but at least it didn't hurt much anymore. "Yes," she said. "I can manage now. Thank you."


Bunny looked in the direction Mel had run off in, standing up on wobbly legs. "Do you think we should follow her?" But though she asked him, Bunny didn't answer. Instead she ran off as best as she could, holding her arm to her chest to prevent it from getting worse.


~~~~~


"Eew!!! That's disgusting!" Vash shouted as his fist made it through Richter. "It's all gooey and warm." And as the vampire spat blood in his face, he was only more disgusted. "Dude, that's how people get HIV*!"


Richter than had a gun to Vash's head, the other pointed at Riff. But as he pulled the trigger, he was knocked aside by the girl who had crashed into Riff earlier. Vash watched as she tried to deal with the vampire. He then saw ice form on the girl's legs, holding her in place as Riff smacked her away with an oversized ice claw.


"I said stay out of the way! I don't need your ******* help!"


Vash started for the ice demon to try to calm him down, but then a familiar voice made them both stop.


"What's going on here?" Mel appeared from between some trees, walking onto the courtyard with calm strides. She looked over at Riff, then Vash and finally the others. Riff immediately bowed. Vash waved. "Have you had enough fun, Riff?" she said, referring to his claws and scales.


"Forgive me for using my powers without permission, Miss Mel. However, I do believe these people are trying to kill us."


"I see . . . " Mel looked around, noting everything in her surroundings. It appeared she was thinking of something. "Well, I do believe this little 'playdate' has come to an end." She snapped her fingers and a ring of large flashbangs appeared around her. Closing her eyes, she said, "Goodbye," before they all went off in a chain of bright lights and loud noises. And by the time the effects of them wore off, Mel, along with Riff and Vash were gone.


*No, it's not.


~~~~~


By the time Bunny had made it to where everyone else was, there was a loud bang and huge flash of light. For a while, she couldn't see or hear anything and when she finally could, she only saw Richter and a girl she didn't recognize.


Richter was wounded, and quite badly. She ran to him, looking at the hole in his chest. "What . . . what happened here?"
 
"They escaped." Richter spat, peeling himself from the tree. The hole through his chest seemed to churn around, crimson liquid pulling itself back in as his cheek began to stitch itself back together.


"What's worse, they escaped before I could injure them. I might have been able to track one of them, had they been bleeding. It's easier to track a taste you know; I could probably trace the cat halfway across town, for example."


He cracked his neck. "But I've already gauged their fighting style to some extent. The albino is resistant to ballistics and explosives, but attacks from a range. The blonde has notable brute strength; it meets or exceeds my own. I think they've got a rough grasp of my pain tolerance and ability to withstand blows, however."


He hunched over to get a better look at Bunny, eyeing her arm. "And how did this happen, hmm? You should have kept your distance, if you wanted to remain safe. Or did you want me to kiss it better?"
 
John smiles at the resolution, the flash bang dying down and his hearing returned. This was for the best. Things were much more interesting this way. Sammael in the form of his shadow came back to him. He held a hand up in a sort of goodbye to the others,


"It brings me great pleasure to see this resolved. Please enjoy the rest of your days and be careful out there."


John turned away from the injured teacher, angel, and the man he met earlier and walked off, back to the school. Things were going to be interesting, so very interesting and he could barely contain himself.

Azure followed Bunny as she went to go meet up with the others, when Mel had some sort of strange ring around her...


"......."


-I..... I can't.....-


The next thing Azure knew after Mel's ring of flashbangs... he was on the ground, looking up at the sky..... with only the most unpleasant of sights there to greet him... that being an uncloaked Kylier dragging him away apparently. HE KNEW, that Kylier could very well carry him easily... but the fact that she chooses to let him drag...


-Did I blackout...?-


Azure flailed his body to force Kylier off him, and actually got her to let go, and go up, rather slowly and disoriented.


"Ugh... what was that?"


Azure looked around, seeing Kylier walk off cloaked once more... then looked at Naval


"And aren't you that one girl who came into my room...?"
 
Naval's eyes slowly lifted from its low gaze. Her ears twitched as she turned herself around. Looking down she saw her leg was trapped, breaking it with wind she escaped freely.


"....Azure."



She titled her head to the side before jogging over to him. "Are you ok...oh no you look hurt a little. "


She got to her knees and put her hand over his forehead. She frowned a little not at all sure about what had happened and why they were fighting. Picking up his arm and putting over her shoulder she lifted Azure a little and winced to the weight and her previous wounds when she had hit her head.


"..I'll carry you as best as I can ...so um where do you sleep?"
 
"I..... uh..."


This was kinda weird for Azure, usually he's always taken care of himself... but he did get a serious daze from whatever Mel used... he still couldn't exactly see straight


"I think I'm fine....."


He wasn't sure why Naval was being so caring toward him even though he barely knows her


"Its 460... the door is completely broken but it should be fine..."
 
"...Why does that number sound familiar...nevermind , I'll help you."


She gave him a warm smile as she began to exit the courtyard. Using a little wind she was able to lift Azure off the ground a little so it would be easier on her. Guiding him into the castle and near the stairs she had looked up toward him , squinting a little before she let the numbers run through her head.


"OH...your the one boy I saw sleeping in the room...the whole robbery thing and your door being broken. Why where you out there, it seemed dangerous."


She was part well training to be part of the disciplinary squad. Fighting like that wasn't allowed at least not to her knowledge. Her attempt was to pay back the one male but he seemed like he didn't need it, but still it was her job to stop any and all fights. She knew she would have to question Azure later about the incident so she could properly report it. She looked up at him and saw he wasn't really into.


"I'll let you rest but in the morning do you mind telling me what happened there. You guys shouldn't be fighting."
 
Bunny frowned at Richter's joke. "She's faster than me. Broke my arm. Azure managed to injure her though, but it didn't really do much." She took another look at the hole in Richter's chest, only to turn away quickly. It looked disgusting . . . and painful. "Shouldn't you get that checked? Or something?"


Bunny then started for the academy. "We should go now." The dark sky above her alerted Bunny to how late it was. If this was going to accomplish anything, it'd have to be soon.
 
"Well the reason I was there....... well I didn't have much of a choice..."


Azure wasn't sure if he could really say anything about this at all, but he figured i'd be best if he didn't outright tell her everything...


"I was trying to avoid a fight..... but somehow, that's just what ended up happening... and got caught in the middle of it..."


Azure shook his head...


"I don't really know why it happened, and what everyone was fighting for really... it seems silly to me..."
 
Lily put an arm around Anya as the girl hugged her. She was getting used to all this friendship stuff, especially hugging. As a matter of fact, since Lily was perfect she was probably the best friend there ever was. Anya was lucky.


Lily was lucky, too.


"A tour sounds good," Lily replied "But you're right- it's too late for something like that. This really was nice, though. Thank you Rose."


Lily polished off the rest of her dessert.


"This weekend sounds wonderful, though. I can't wait."


"As long as I'm using her, though, I may as well have her help me get acquainted with my future kingdom. As a friendlike entity. So as not to arouse suspicion."
 
"Oh, did you want to check it?" Richter asked, pulling back his jacket. "Because I was under the impression it would just heal on its own- as so."


Skin stretched out to cover the gaping hole, bones creaking as they popped back into place. "In any case, it's likely they'll mount a counterattack soon. We should gather up Darlingtonia and that Bane. I'll keep watch overnight."
 
John watched the group approach back at the academy. Clearly things were getting interesting, and on his first day no less! He smiled as he had Sammael listen in, upon recognizing that one of the people was the young man he had offered to help he sighed as he went to the group. He was a man of his word and wasn't going to back down. He approached the group as he pointed ag Azure.


"You know? I think I like you. I thought at first maybe you were just a coward, afraid of his own shadow, that kind of thing. Now? Now I see you not only got into an altercation with one of Lu's brats, but hell you even managed to hurt her! Not bad ehh? But! I have to say you're clearly just nuts for getting yourself into this mess, but you know what? I kinda like a man who can take a risk."


John says this as he winks mischievously at Azure and bows at the rest. Things were heating up quickly at his new school! He might just have to try outfitting Sammy with THOSE. later of course.

Anya gave a long yawn as she cuddled up closer to Lily. "Are we having another sleepover?" she asked sleepily. "Will there be truth or dare?" 
"I am in the bloody mood for this." Richter drew his revolver, pressing it against John's head.


"I have no idea how you're involved in this mess and I certainly haven't seen you around before. You have exactly three seconds to give me a reason to trust you, go to your dorm, or take a twelve gauge slug to the brain. Your call."
 
Azure looked back in surprise to see John say all these things about him... maybe his caution and pacifist... or rather one who uses conflict as a last resort kinda did make him seem cowardly... To him though, its either die with a scar on the chest, or live with a wound on the back..... actually, Mel sorta back kicked him...


-I wonder what that would make me then...?-


"Er... thank you John?"



He was definitely not the sort of person who would make a gamble on any sort of thing. That doesn't apply to situations where realistically, there's no choice but to do so, but that's besides the point.


"Well... I guess this sort of thing isn't really anything to me anymore at this point..."


He grew a confused look at he did his odd wink toward him... he had absolutely no idea what that was supposed to mean toward him... but maybe he got his respect or something? He didn't really care to much anymore... he just wanted to sleep in his completely defenseless and unguarded room that anyone could break into if they so much as wanted to, either by climbing the rope up to his room via a window, or just walking in... either or


-How did I get myself in this situation again...-





He looked back at Naval, who was helping him along


"Sorry about earlier when I first met you Naval... but I think you can imagine why I was tired earlier when I first met you....."
