You faker than some Sweet 'N Low
Aki looked away momentarily when Yuusuke questioned why he'd still go to their "club" meeting if he was in pain. A million potential reasons that he wouldn't have been able to go, the most prominent being the possibility of Hikaru dragging him there, ran through his head. A million more lies. Maybe a simple statement that he'd heal faster if he transformed, but he didn't want to do so alone. Not wanting his sisters to climb all over him when he was pretty sure he still had a broken rib.
The bits and pieces of the truth weren't quite putting together a good enough reason right now. He was simply scared to refuse once he'd been asked to do something.
Something that didn't pin the blame for him going on anyone else. That's all he needed.
"I guess I don't, but..." He hesitated to finish his sentence. He would go anyway, because he was asked to. He didn't have an excuse right now-
He could feel his Cursed Gem, weakly pulsing against his chest from the necklace he wore it on. Somebody must have transformed nearby. Not a big deal, really, but whatever excuse he seemed to be thinking up died on his tongue as he felt this. What, had somebody made a Nightmare in the middle of the day? He adjusted the necklace hiding beneath his shirt, so that he couldn't feel it quite as well. He didn't want to go help with whatever was going on.
"Who knows? Maybe somebody will have spotted a Kuchisake-Onna. That'd be a fun haunting to check out, wouldn't it?" Aki put a finger to the corners of his mouth, dragging them up to the his ears, playfully indicating what he'd expect to see from such a phantom before he tossed another tomato in his mouth. Just one character out of the list of Youkai Aki seemed to actually believe in, if his delusion was anything to go off of, even if he was currently only using it as a theatric to get his classmates to stop staring at him. Show he was in a good mood and that he liked Yuusuke, and those accusatory glares would leave them.
And most of them did.
He knelt down, picking up his Bento box (still in one piece, thankfully), pushing the mess back into it's former home to get it off the floor. Best to not leave it there, even if cleaning the mess up still made him feel significantly worse. As long as he expected it, tolerating the pain wasn't too hard. He closed the lid on it once he'd gotten it cleaned up, and placed it on a desk.
"No, no need. I have money." More than enough, considering he was employed and Hikaru would give him money whenever he wanted. He didn't have much of an appetite right now, anyway. He idly tapped on his Cursed Gem, thinking. If something had happened that was making his soul react, most of the Magical Girls and Boys should've gone to deal with that.
...Meaning he could probably transform to let his body heal.
"But would you mind helping me get some cleaning products from the hall?"

Those who were acquainted with Sibylla would find it no surprise that she spent lunch alone, deep in her "meditation" like some combination of air traffic controller and spy, monitoring the relationships and emotions of everyone present within the range of her perception and looking for strings to pull at. Even so, she tended to spend her time at school restive, looking forward mainly to her meetings with the rest of the "Paranormal Society" as well as her work in the other parts of the city.
Maybe later today she could follow up with that middle-aged man in the business district who was feeling guilty about cheating on his wife...he was looking over his shoulder constantly, as if being found out was an inevitability. He would soon be a prime candidate to have his Nightmare expressed...
As she walked through the corridors, a beep came from her phone. She fished out her earbuds from her bag, plugging them in and allowing the phone to read the message.
Sibylla sighed. Well, that kind of distraction was par for the course. She would give Hikaru some soothing words now, the better to keep him on task.
She lifted the phone to her face, recording a voice message.
"That does sound a little concerning. Maybe you should have Aki watch your back for the next couple of days. Or failing that, wear a hair net? You of all people can make it work."
Necromantic
The next bump in the road could not be brushed off so easily, however.
Just as she thought she could go back to her observation, Sibylla felt a familiar tension in her chest.
It couldn't be a Nightmare: none of her allies in this school had mentioned planning to release one here.
That could only mean...a Wraith. An annoying obstacle that got in the way of Nix's work to help people. So be it. She would help to crush it before it could interfere.
She clasped her cursed gem in her hands, concentrating. Thinking of Eleonore. Of her regrets. Her final mistake.
It wasn't the magical heroes on the ground who met the Wraith on the ground that got the first strike, but the colorful Fool that struck down at it from above. To complement his attack, he would find the Tower, a heavily armored knight appearing in a flash of shadow at the feet of the Wraith. As the Fool plunged down on it, the Tower shoved forward with its shield, hoping to stagger the Wraith and preventing it from dodging the Fool's unsubtle attack.
Omen stood at the top of a nearby building, observing the fight. The Wraith was some distance away, but like all magical creations, especially those borne of terrible emotion, it stood out to her like a blinding beacon in the darkness before her eyes. Her hand gripped her scythe, preparing to intervene if the Tower's assistance proved insufficient.

Ethan barely even glanced up from his phone screen as a relatively familiar classmate sat nearby: Arian Hasumi if he remembered correctly, a member of the games club, and one with quite an impressive winning streak if the rumors he overheard were true. Since he seemed content to keep to himself and Ethan definitely wasn't one to initiate conversation, he simply went back to scrolling through his phone.
That is, until the telltale pulsing of his Soul Gem vibrated against his chest, shocking his system into action like the most dire alarm clock. Abruptly jolting up, and then pausing briefly as he remembered where he was and to not make a scene, he scooped up his bag and rushed towards the nearest exit, mumbling some made-up excuse under his breath about needing to grab something for one of his siblings for any of the nosy students that had turned to focus on the upperclassman suddenly storming off.
Practically bashing the door open with his shoulder, it barely had time to close all the way before Ethan pulled his Soul Gem locket out from under his shirt and grasped it in his left hand to began his transformation. A swirling mass of blue energy surrounded him as he levitated off of the ground, the essence settling upon his clothes and replacing them with a skintight black undershirt and matching black pants, coalescing and materializing further as a blue cloak that flowed down his shoulders and an eyepatch that covered his wounded left eye. The remaining magical soul energy enveloped his arms, encasing them in sturdy gauntlets and crystalizing a shield in his left hand, in the palm of which sat his radiant Soul Gem. By the time the transformation had finished Aegis had grown a good few inches, his hair now a lustrous ivory hue that cascaded around his face and down his back.
Still levitating ever so slightly above the ground, Aegis didn't run so much as glide towards the destination his gem directed him. The snow and chill should have gotten to him with the lack of clothing, but instead he found the cold settling quite comfortably on his bare arms as it permeated his thin outfit. Arriving at the scene of the disturbance, he was quite unsurprised to see that several other magical fighters had already gotten there. There were many teens in this place—it was a school, after all—and it was an unspoken, awkwardly avoided truth that a good handful of students were going to secretly be magical allies.
"Just one Wraith? Why is my gem acting up like this then?" Aegis asked in his deep emotionless tone more to himself than the others as he came to a stop, glancing at Sentinel, Hemera, and Nereus. He knew these three well enough having fought alongside the latter two quite a few times for at least a year, and quite a bit longer than that with Sentinel. The colorful one in the sky, however, he didn't know, although the mystery magical boy's tenacity to get straight into the battle was commendable.
"We really don't all need to be here, then." a soft sigh followed his words, knowing that more magical fighters were bound to arrive, which only made his self-assigned job of making sure everyone was safe exponentially harder.
"You all know the deal." he said to them, his right gauntlet already crackling with the energy to summon a bulwark as he watched the new magical boy go in for the attack. "Stay behind a bulwark if you need to, and if you really need to, stay behind me."
Just before he was able to cast his 'laser' bulwark to block some of the Wraith's attacks, however, a massive knight appearing from a flash of shadow halted him from acting. Whipping his head around, Aegis scanned the surroundings before his gaze fell upon a Witch overseeing the battle from a nearby rooftop.
"Mm. That explains it." having found the answer to his previous question, he stared down the Witch, moving to situate himself between her and his allies in case she tried something. As it seemed like she was helping the battle right now—or at least not hindering it—Aegis decided not to push any attack against her for the time being.
"Heads up, the Witch is on the roof to our east." he informed his allies in case they hadn't figured out where the towering knight had come from yet. "Just focus on the Wraith. I'll keep an eye on her in case she's foolish enough to kick the hornet's nest and attack this many magical fighters at once."
Fighting a single Wraith wasn't anything exciting especially this far into his magical boy career, outnumbering and ganging up on a single Wraith even less so, and so Aegis uncharacteristically decided to play outfield this time.
"This would be perfect training for some of the rooks, if they could ever show up to a damn battle on time." he grumbled, letting the rippling blue essence shoot from his gauntlet to form a rectangular bulwark along the frontline while mumbling 'laser'. "I'll sit back for this one. But I swear to the Goddess if any of you get injured I'll bring Aurora herself down to take your powers away as punishment."

Hikaru couldn't say that such a response wasn't what he expected out of his desperate bid to find the psycho plucking hair directly out of his head. He'd have to stalk a few fan-forums, anybody crazy enough to go stealing his hair was bound to post it online about it, proud that they'd gotten away with their crime. A sigh escaped Hikaru as he shoved his phone back into his pocket.
He blinked a few times as his Cursed Gem started reacting to something, pulling the gem out of his shirt to look at it for a moment. Huh, seemed like something was happening. Yet, it didn't seem to be Nightmare activity, based on how everything inside the school still seemed perfectly normal. He took a bite out of a sandwich he'd brought for lunch as he turned the gem over in his hand.
...Truth be told, he couldn't care less what was happening, be it Wraith or Nightmare activity. As long as there was chaos being spread, he was content. Yet, whatever it was clearly wasn't causing enough chaos, and more importantly it was leaving him out of the fun. If all the Soul Gems on campus were already going off like little soul-containing alarm clocks, he might as well use this opportunity to make his own entertainment.
He took a peek out of the abandoned classroom he'd been hiding in (away from the crazed bitches wanting his hair), checking for anybody nearby. Nope, still empty. Wait, no, down the hall, he could hear a girl talking. Nobody responding to her, only one set of footsteps, from what he could tell, she was alone.
By the time he reached her, Happy Chaos had already transformed. Tail tucked into his pants, ears squashed down by a hat he'd been carrying, he looked like some lost theater kid wandering the halls. Yet, the girl he'd found didn't seem to mind, willingly confiding in him when he asked her what was wrong. Her parents were getting a divorce, and her mother had become abusive toward her because her dad had been cheating on her with a prostitute. She blamed one of her classmates, whose parent had been the one her dad was cheating with. She planned to kill her classmate's dog as revenge. Her mother had attacked her with a broken beer bottle, but it'd only left a scar on her face rather than any severe damage.
Forget Nightmare, this bitch probably had enough hatred in her to become a Witch. She followed him, still a relatively conveniently attractive guy despite his change in appearance, as he walked toward the cafeteria. Some positive attention in her life probably would've been enough to help her through her family trouble without going to the extreme of killing somebody's dog, but he wasn't there to try to help her. The only words he offered were words of encouragement, trying to stir those feelings of hatred in her heart. Don't target her classmate's dog- Target her. Slit her throat. If the prostitute didn't need to care for a child, they'd probably stop hooking up with her dad, and her parents could go back to having a happy marriage. With the same honeyed words of encouragement he'd give his fans to cheer louder for him, Happy Chaos stirred the girl's feelings of hatred that'd taken root in her heart, until he could practically feel how they were bubbling over.
"You know, I think it's pretty hot that you want revenge so badly." A little on the nose, but this was a rush job. Despite being an atrocious pick up line, the girl that seemed desperate for any sort of positive attention practically lit up. Huh, he'd really gotten lucky this time around, but there really wasn't any shortage of girls in abusive households wandering around a Highschool.
"R-Really?"
She'd taken every piece of bait he'd cast, hook, line, and sinker. He pulled out a baggie full of small, bunny shaped cookies, and bit the ears off of one of them. It didn't matter if it was a magical one or not, it was his magic in them, after all.
"Yep. You're willing to hurt others to protect what you care about. You could say we have that in common... I would," Have, "Kill to keep the ones I love safe."
The girl he was talking to (he'd never even gotten her name, she was such an idiot) was decently taller than him. Somewhere between his height and Akihiko's. So, he had to reach up to poke a strawberry flavoured bunny cookie into her mouth. No reaction...Yet. His cookies could take a minute, depending on how many his victims ate. She seemed to enjoy his cookie, though, so that was a bonus.
"Did you make that?"
"Yep! I love cooking. Have as many as you like, I can always make more." He held up his baggie, and she took it from him. How gullible. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder to pull her down a little, and took a selfie with, which of course he sent to Aki.
"Imma go to the bathroom real quick, 'kay?"
The soon to be Nightmare nodded in response. He left her, going toward the bathroom where he certainly would not actually be pissing, and passing a familiar head of brown hair on his way there. Oh, Arian was also in the cafeteria. Huh, what a small school they lived- No, learned in. Clad in clothes that looked like they could've come straight out of Wonderland, Happy Chaos looked about as conspicuous as possible, but he still tried to seem inconspicuous, if for no other reason than being asked what he was doing in the Men's Bathroom would've been a little weird.

--------------------------------------------------
Class was boring as usual but now it was time for Lunch, a time that she would be able to have to herself, though how would she use that time? She wasn't for sure yet, perhaps she should hang out with one of her few friends or maybe go watch after Kairi. But before she could must up the ability to make a decision she felt her gem react to the pull of activity in the area, Zevra muttering a few curses in response, if this was cause of some idiot Witch or Warlock then Zevra was going to murder them after school. Though in all honesty the only reason she cared so much about this was cause she wasn't with her sister at the moment and stunts like this could potentially put her sister in danger, she only really had two options at the moment find her sister who she wasn't sure where she would be at or go to whatever problem was happening on the school grounds and control it. Of course she could try calling her sister but she wasn't exactly fond of the idea of calling her during school hours, plus it may seem a bit strange to do so anyways.
After a bit of musing in her own thoughts Zevra let out a sigh before walking towards the locker area so she could put her stuff up, and once she had done that she headed on over to a secluded area, a classroom that was completely abandoned at the moment. When she entered she waited a minute to make sure that it was truly empty before taking out her corrupted Soul Gem and slamming it into the middle collar of their neck, with their thoughts focusing in on their hatred for other people, those who had opted to harrass her sister, it didn't take long for her transformation to be complete. Though she wasn't fond of doing this, she was use to doing her hunting at night not during the day, and even then she wasn't someone who liked direct confrontation. But whatever she could still atleast keep her distance though it would be harder to keep hidden with all the daylight, but you had to play with the cards you were given she guessed. Not wanting to use the entrance she used to exit this place, she had opted to open up one of the windows of the room and jump out of it not even caring about the fact that she was not on the first floor. As soon as she was close to hitting the ground she froze midair, making it seem like she was just about hovering over the ground, of course this was thanks to her powers, she didn't have any worries about crashing into the ground , unless she for some reason miscalculates and overshoots herself into the ground, not exactly a pretty sight if it happens.
Regardless now that she was in her Witch form she could investigate the situation that was happening without much fear. Moving fast up into the air before moving straight ahead towards the direction she was feeling pulled to. The scene below was chaotic to say the least, there was many magical boys and girls on scene already all for a weak wraith, and out in the distance she could spot another witch such as herself one that she was sure was there due to their dislike for wraiths. She was beginning to think that she was perhaps not needed at all, but still like she was gonna trust a bunch of magical girls and a few of her compatriots to do something right. But she was not going to join those idiots in combat for one measly wraith, instead she appeared to almost flew forward towards the location of the other witch that had perch herself on the building. She glared at her as she floated a few feet off the ground in front of her, but instead of properly facing her she kept her self-sideways so that she could have a good view of both the magical girls/boys in the distance and be able to have eyes on her without turning.
She gave a firm glare to their senior witch, who held her scythe closely to her, though Zevra/Eulampis kept her many daggers hidden away at her hip. "I suppose that wraith over there coincidently came here right during our lunch break and it wasn't yours or one of the other smooth brains fault?" her tone was more so in a matter of fact voice than anything. But she had a clear displeasure for things like this happening during school hours, and as much as she wasn't fond of the other Witches and Warlocks she had to have atleast a working relationship with them due to their trade she supposed.

Mayumi was pacing around the room. A few seconds earlier her stone began to glow and now it was pulsating. She looked at it on her waist and began to sweat. “What should I do? WHAT SHOULD I DO?!” She thought to herself over and over. Phoebe invited her over to the table but she couldn’t sit down, she needed to get out of here. “Uhm, I have to go to the bathroom!” She said and quickly ran out of the cafe, confusing Phoebe, Lincoln, and Hansuke. Running through the halls, she made a sharp turn into the restrooms, which luckily had a small window. She looked around, making sure nobody was inside and transformed. She let the power of the gem surge through her as her uniform disappeared as a pink and white angelic outfit replaced it. Her brown eyes turned pink and bows were everywhere. Once the power died down, she opened her eyes. “Alright let’s get this over with.” She was slightly annoyed. She just had an extremely rough fight last night and she was in no shape to do it again. She had to do this quickly. Clapping her hands, a pink and sliver scythe appeared. Jumping out the window, she saw a couple of other magical kids. She floated down beside The Fool and bluntly asked him. “Alright. What do we know about this thing other than it’s kinda ugly and it likes hiding behind the bleachers.” She normally wasn’t this way but she was pretty agitated by this sudden appearance. She slid into a fighting position while waiting for his answer.

Even from a distance, Omen could feel Aegis' withering glare upon her, though he did not move to engage her. Perhaps that was largely a function of his more defensive ability; unless he got really close, he wouldn't be able to lock down Omen unless she wanted him to. She frowned, just a little. They didn't really have to join Nix, but if the followers of Aurora could understand their purpose and not get in their way...things would be a lot better for everyone. The careless would think that by now the numbers of the magical heroes that were engaging the Wraith could all but guarantee victory, but that was the sign of carelessness. Even outnumbered, a Wraith's offensive abilities and durability could allow it to demolish the bodies of a careless magical hero, and in the worst circumstances, even their soul gem. Surely Aegis would not allow any such thing to befall his allies...

A crackling, belligerent presence drew closer to Omen. She allowed it to. As Eulampis approached her, she nonchalantly pulled backwards slightly with her arm, withdrawing The Tower and allowing the magical heroes to engage the Wraith on their own initiative. The armored figure vanished back into the shadows, but she continued to observe. "If we had found a means to conjure and deploy Wraiths, I would still not do so, and I believe our allies here would not either. I am merely seeking to intervene should the followers of Aurora prove insufficient, in order to ensure that any potential Nightmare hosts are unharmed. You are welcome to observe too, if it is your wish." She did her best to remain diplomatic, as she should. Some followers of Nix were more temperamental, but it was worth keeping the gang pointed in the same direction anyway.

Aki pulled out his phone out of his pocket when he felt it vibrate. Oh, it looked like Hikaru was texting him. He'd been oddly quiet today, Aki was used to being sent memes or whatever else Hikaru had to say throughout class. He tapped on the message, revealing a selfie that Hikaru had taken with some cute blonde girl wearing a headband.
...
...
...
Hey hold on, Hikaru's hair wasn't brown.
He wasn't helping with that. He absolutely wasn't helping Hikaru right now. Aki hurried after Yuusuke, trying his best to look like the text he'd gotten wasn't stressing him out. Hikaru couldn't have been the reason Aki's gem was reacting, it'd been pulsing since before he'd even gotten the text, so what the actual fuck did he think he was doing? He was still in the school in that picture. Aki lifted a hand to his mouth, biting down on his pointer finger with one of his small fangs, drawing a trickle of blood that rolled onto his tongue. That was nothing new, if the scars that dotted his knuckles from before he'd made his wish was anything to go off of.
The supply closet wasn't far away, so it didn't take long to reach, and Aki pulled Yuusuke in with him without any warning. That...Might cause some rumors to spread if anyone saw them, so he'd just hope that nobody saw him do that. He hadn't been paying enough attention to know if there were people around to watch him.
"I just wanted to transform to heal...But, let's hang out in here for a while? I, uhm, don't want to deal with..." Was it even worth trying to make up an excuse for why he'd want to hang out in a closet full of cleaning products? "I don't want to go fight. Unless somebody's actually dying..." Hikaru was a Veteran Warlock- He wouldn't get himself killed. Still, even if Aki was mad about Hikaru's rash decision making, he was worried about him. Healing wouldn't fix his exhaustion, though. He leaned against the shelves behind him. "...People get reckless when I'm around to jump in front of an arrow, but I feel like I'm about to collapse."

Hikaru couldn't have been the reason Aki's gem was reacting, it'd been pulsing since before he'd even gotten the text, so what the actual fuck did he think he was doing? He was still in the school in that picture. Aki lifted a hand to his mouth, biting down on his pointer finger with one of his small fangs, drawing a trickle of blood that rolled onto his tongue. That was nothing new, if the scars that dotted his knuckles from before he'd made his wish was anything to go off of.
The supply closet wasn't far away, so it didn't take long to reach, and Aki pulled Yuusuke in with him without any warning. That...Might cause some rumors to spread if anyone saw them, so he'd just hope that nobody saw him do that. He hadn't been paying enough attention to know if there were people around to watch him.
"I just wanted to transform to heal...But, let's hang out in here for a while? I, uhm, don't want to deal with..." Was it even worth trying to make up an excuse for why he'd want to hang out in a closet full of cleaning products? "I don't want to go fight. Unless somebody's actually dying..." Hikaru was a Veteran Warlock- He wouldn't get himself killed. Still, even if Aki was mad about Hikaru's rash decision making, he was worried about him. Healing wouldn't fix his exhaustion, though. He leaned against the shelves behind him. "...People get reckless when I'm around to jump in front of an arrow, but I feel like I'm about to collapse."

Guppy was here!
"Well Mayumi, good to finally meet ya! Hope we get along," he grinned before stuffing his mouth, a peaceful and blissful expression covering his face as he continued filling his stomach. He had had a bite or two of his father's omelets this morning but had spent most of his time helping his mother get his twin brothers ready for the day, not finishing his breakfast before hurrying out the door with his younger sister. Satisfying his taste buds with his meal was nearly enough to bring Kaito to tears, but before it could go that far he was brought out of his thoughts as Phoebe spoke up, inviting him to the arcade after school. Kaito nearly choked on his rice, coughing slightly and tapping his chest with a closed fist. After regaining control of himself Kaito cleared his throat and gave an uncertain laugh, putting down his chopsticks as he tried to come up with an answer. The offer was more than enticing, all their interactions have been in school and never out. Plus, getting to know Lincoln and Phoebe outside of school was... well it made his chest feel warm, and that's when it dawned on him, he's never really interacted with anyone from school outside of it. He would rarely hang out, most of his focus being on his duties as a Magical fighter at night. He wanted to say yes, but the reality of his situation reminded him of his current responsibilities, more specifically his investigation into the mystery Nightmare that had been prowling around town for the past month. There was no way he could have fun knowing he was so far behind in stopping the monster. A low sigh escaped him, a sad smile coming to his face as he rubbed the back of his head.
Before he could answer though, he noticed both the twins tense up, both sharing an odd look before Phoebe cleared her throat and apologized with a smile, claiming they had both forgotten to do something in science class and something about "twin sense". Twin sense? Was that a thing? Did his youngest brothers have those? Before he could come up with his answer both the twins were already heading for the cafeteria exit. "Y-yeah, see ya later then," he muttered, both being too far by the time he spoke up. "Huh, wonder what that was about. Pretty sure we finished everything in class," he thought aloud before looking to Mayumi with a shrug, before pausing to see her pacing about looking stressed. "Hey you alrig-" he didn't get to finish before she suddenly claimed she needed to use the bathroom, quickly running out of the cafeteria and leaving Kaito alone at the table. "Huh," he muttered before pursing his lips in thought. Did he smell? Is that what drove them all away? After a quick sniff under his arms, that thought was dashed.
Weird. Well, he could always catch up with them all later. So with a shrug and a pleasant hum, Kaito focused his attention back on his food and licked his lips. At least he could still enjoy his food in peace. The sudden violent shutter of his soul gem made his heart drop into his stomach, fist clenching tightly around his chopsticks until they snapped under the strength. "You're shitting me," he muttered under his breath before dropping the snapped chopsticks onto his tray, a long sigh leaving him before he slowly rose from his seat. A normal day at school, that was all he asked for. At night, Kaito was more than willing to dive into the dangers of his work, but here? He could feel the months' worth of frustration and stress he's bottled up begin to become undone. With a roll of his shoulders, Kaito made his way to the cafeteria's exit with a false calmness. To his relief, this wasn't a Nightmare, but a Wraith here of all places is still worthy of concern.
Just before he went through the doors, however, he paused, the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly standing tall and a sinking feeling in his gut. Something was... off, and it wasn't just the Wraith's sudden appearance. It was here! His eyes quickly scanned the cafeteria, desperately trying to identify the source of this sinking feeling. It was familiar, but the combination of confusion and slight panic clouded his mind for the moment. Finally, his eyes locked onto a figure wearing a less-than-subtle attire. They stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the crowd, like something out of a fairy tale book. There was no doubting it though, they were a threat, much greater than the Wraith. Kaito couldn't let them wander free around the school, he had to smother this potential forest fire before they did something that made this situation worse.
Without a second thought, Kaito dashed out the cafeteria doors and bolted down the hallway. After a quick scan to make sure the cost was clear, he yanked his soul gem from his pocket and clutched it to his heart. Instantly the sound of rattling chains filled his ears, the familiar sensation of his transformation engulfing every fiber of his body and soul. In the next moment Kaito, now seen as Noir, crashed through the other set of doors leading into the cafeteria, knocking them off their hinges. Flying in from the momentum, Noir was now dawned in his thick pitch-black coat, the outlining lined with pure silver. His vest, pants, and boots all match in black and silver with the only exception being the white shirt under his vest. His face was covered by a black and white bandana. Atop his head was his signature noir-styled hat being kept on by his hand as he soared through the air. A chorus of panicked and shocked screams filled the room an in instant, many confused and startled students barely managed to make sense of what had happened. Noir came to a skidding landing, his steel-toed boots scraping against the floor before coming to a complete halt.
As he stood tall, his gloved fist clutched as he adjusted to the transformation, Noir gave a glance around the room at the students, the anxiety of having so many civilians around this confrontation making him tense. This was the worst-case scenario, but this threat couldn't be ignored. With a slow breath, Noir flexed his hands, and in an instant, a dozen bright ethereal chains shot from his back, as if they were an extension of his body. "GET OUT!!" he boomed as the summoned chains crashed into the floor around him, kicking up debris and shattering the ground. There was no hesitation, in the blink of an eye the room erupted in utter panic, screams filling the air as all the surrounding students made a B line for the doors. He hated causing such a scene, but he couldn't allow anyone to get caught up in what was about to happen. Redirecting his glare at his target, Noir rolled his neck and shoulders, letting a few pops fill the air.
"I don't know why you're here, or if you have something to do with this damn Wraith popping up all of a sudden, but I can assure you this," he paused before holding up his hand, his index finger and his thumb pressed together as the glare from under his hat intensified on the stranger. "You made a mistake coming here, Warlock," he said before snapping his fingers. Like trained animals following their master's command, several ethereal chains blasted forward, all directed at the Warlock.

The cat chuckled as he read the response to his text. Ah, Aki was mad at him, he wasn't too surprised there-
Happy Chaos stopped when he heard commotion behind him. A voice demanding people get out. The crash of chains. A Magical Boy had found him so quickly? Before his Nightmare had even finished festering? He turned, and found that the girl hadn't immediatelt fled the vicinity. As if deaf to everything except him and her own muttering, she was still standing there, mumbling things as she ate his cookies, entranced.
"Wraith?" Oh, so that's what had drawn out everybody? That was such a drag, really, that wouldn't cause nearly as much damage as a Nightmare. Yet, speaking about Nightmares, the one he'd been making was standing between him and the Magical boy that was destroying the damn cafeteria. Dammit, he'd been intending to take her outside, he'd just wanted to go pull his tail out of his pants, but now-
There were chains being launched in his direction, and she was standing between them. Shit, shit, she didn't have any sort of magic to protect her. Normal humans would survive being turned into a Nightmare, but she wouldn't survive being fucking impaled without any magic of her own. Happy Chaos's eyes widened in panic as he ran toward her, a hand tucking behind her head to keep it from hitting the ground as tackled her.
The chains narrowly missed her body, but didn't miss Happy Chaos's. Arms wrenched painfully behind his back, but they weren't actively causing him any real harm. His hat fell off as he adjusted himself onto his knees, ears flicking once free of their cloth prison. He couldn't get any further up, leaving him awkwardly stradding the girl's knees. So that's how it was, huh?
"Shouldn't I be the one trying to kill people? You almost did my job more effectively than me, pal!" Happy Chaos threw his head back in laughter. He'd never intended to truly harm this girl, just wanting a bit more entertainment in his day, and now he was actually saving her from a Magical Boy! How hilarious that this moron would attack before properly making sure there wasn't a person between them.
This guy's powers weren't too different from his own. Another thing infinitely funnier than it should've been. The Warlock tugged against the chains holding him in place, checking for any slack in them. Nope, nope, didn't feel like he was getting free unless he wanted to crush the bones in his hand, but that was fine. He flicked his wrist, several thorned vines breaking through the linoleum flooring and shooting toward the Magical Boy's legs.

A hurried jolt down the halls was all Kairi could manage holding her packed lunch in hand. How embarrassing it was to once again be late after doing so in the morning. This time it had been rather embarrassing jottiing down in her noteback as class had ended. Not an usual thing on her part... but what was meant to be a brief scribbling had turned into several minutes. It had only been due to her teacher's comment that had jolted her out of her dream world realizing she had dwadled around the classroom for longer then she should of.
They are probably wondering where I am. Gosh... I can't believe I've been so bad today. I hope they can forgive me.
Her hurried footstpes down the hall brought her closer to the classroom they were suppose to meet at. Far from the nice place eating outside, but given the cold weather it made far more sense to eat inside. Her hurried steps rushed down the hall. Her footsteps rather swift when she felt it... a pulse. Her body shivered glancing about pausing mid step. Her eyes fixating over as she glanced down at her chest placing her free hand upon it. Her worry for her friends briefly coming to a halt as her mind shifted to what could only be some new threat nearby. Not good tat all... it was far too close to the school.
No... I should check on Usagi first... she must of felt it too...
Kairi quickly rushed down the hall. Her feel carrying her forward in what would be the classroom they were suppose to meet. As far as she knew her friends would be there after all. Her quick steps could be heard down the hall when a voice reached her ears faint at first though strangely familiar. Her feet carrying her just past her friends turning her head to glance over.
"...keep it a secret. You aren't going to believe me, but..."
"Usagi! Amanda!" She spoke a little hurried and not expecting to stumble into her friends where they were. Amanda's words had so briefly slipped through her mind though given the situation it only linged so briefly. Something her mind wasn't quite grasping onto in the moment. Her eyes lingered over to Usagi parting her lips as to speak though hesitating. Her glance shifting away to Amanda suddenly realizing she couldn't exactly be open. Her eyes lingered back to Usagi pondering what to say.
"Th.. the thing! Y... yeah! For the club... we um... should we check it out? I mean... I'm hungry and we... could not... b... but what we are suppose to do is near and... well it my be best to take care of it sooner rather then later."
Her words were a bit scattered. She wasn't the type who really liked the idea of talking around someone else. Her eyes lingering on Amanda a bit worried she might be upset. She knew about her love for Magic Girls, though it was something that was important left not spoken of. It was a rather dangerous thing that was left better off not pulling other into their affairs. It felt almost cruel at times knowing how excited she seemed to get at the very idea.

)Phoebe was surprised to see so many fellow magical girls and boys around, and even Lincoln was given pause as well, though the more allies the better. Especially when it seemed that more Wraiths were appearing, in vast numbers! The twins immediately got to work, looking to their magical girls and boys, Phoebe was the one who spoke. "Protect the school, that's the plan!" She called to them, then gasped when she saw Sentinel get wounded. Before she could go help him, she saw students running from the school screaming.
Her heart sank in her chest, "...Kaito!" She whispered in panic, then looked to Lincoln, "Stay and help the others, I need to see if Kaito's okay." She whispered, and not waiting for a reply from her brother, she dashed forward to the school cafeteria and skidded to a stop as she witnessed a magical boy facing a warlock. Thankfully she didn't see Kaito anywhere, and she prayed in her heart of hearts that he made it out okay.
For now, she decided to help out the Magical Boy against that warlock - aiming her staff at the cat-eared warlock, she summoned forth her magical sunlight spell, preparing to cast it at him, noting the other person that seemed to get herself wrapped up in this mess. No doubt he was going to make that poor girl a Nightmare, and Hemera couldn't allow it. "I'll help, too!" She called to the Magical Boy, aiming her staff at the warlock's head.
Meanwhile, Lincoln couldn't get a word in edgewise with his sister, letting out a growl as she dashed away. "Damn it..." He hissed, looking over to Sentinel on the ground wounded. He went after the Wraith that attacked Sentinel, summoning sharp blades of water thanks to his sword, attacking the Wraith and cutting off its head off with one of the blades, hopefully ending it then and there.
Looking to Aegis when he mentioned a witch, his narrowed blue eyes glanced up spotting her in the distance, before he looked to Aegis. "Should we not deal with her straight away before she gets her friends involved?" He stood by the wounded Sentinel, protecting him, making sure no other Wraiths or nefarious beings attacked him while he was down. He then looked to Fool, Slyph and Angel Symphony. "Keep an eye out for Nightmares, other Witches and Warlocks! Our main goal is to protect the school before any innocents get hurt or worse."

A vine lifted up Happy Chaos's phone, and he tapped it to take a selfie with his tail. A cheerful smile on his face, as if he wasn't sitting there, actively in danger.
-And then more danger came strolling in, aiming a staff at him. Fuck, fuck, these Magical Idiots truly were stupid, or blind, or both, because they kept aiming attacks at him without really accounting for the collateral damage that he was sitting on, her hand reaching up to stroke his ear as if cat boys were something she saw every day. Too lost in his magic to perceive that petting him could get her genuinely hurt, caught in the crossfire. Being purified from being a Nightmare wouldn't hurt her, but some little shit who thought she was a fairy princess that couldn't hurt the innocent barging in and blasting her magic like gatling gun could sure kill her.
Around his coworkers, he wouldn't have let his composure break, but facing two idiots who couldn't tell this girl was five minutes away from becoming a Nightmare, a panicked expression was quickly forming on his face.
"Dumbasses, you'll kill her like this!" Happy Chaos shouted at both of them, ducking down so that his body covered his future Nightmares vital organs. The chains keeping him in place hardly had enough slack for that, but he still managed to cover most of her body. Her arms still wrapped around him, embracing him as if they actually were lovers rather than him just having had playfully flirted with her. If she survived, he was so going to need to actually give her the company she wanted.
This girl was his, two shitty fairies weren't going to hurt her. He snapped his fingers, a lattice of thick vines forming between him and the two idiots attacking him. Not a great shield, really, but it should've slowed them down.
"Fucking pretty princesses, killing a Nightmare is just fine to them. ...Hey, I forgot to ask your name earlier, Hon?"
"Hayakawa Karin."
Right...Right, he'd remember that.

As two more Magical Girls appeared, Angel Symphony and Sylph, Aegis simply gave them both a curt nod, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched the colorful Magical Boy combat the towering Wraith single-handedly. It hadn't escaped his notice that another Witch and a Warlock had arrived, getting a bird's-eye view of the battle from above. Had they come just to gawk and gather intel on the Magical Fighters' combat styles, or were they planning something else? Either way, his Soul Gem didn't seem to be getting any less bright. In fact, it only seemed to pulse more insistently as the moments ticked by.
As Aegis opened his mouth to alert the rest of the group to the increasingly Witchy atmosphere, an shrill shriek cut him off, causing his words to die in his throat before they could even be spoken. Almost as if second nature, he drew his hand from one ear to the other, leaving a shimmering barrier like a visor across his face. His voice was drowned out by the screech, but the proclamation of 'sound' was enough to activate the bulwark and stop the noise from deafening him.
Ears ringing from the sudden and all-encompassing silence, Aegis watched as a legion of Wraiths rose from the snow like an army of battle-slain draugr returning for one more fight. "Of course. It's never just one…" he sighed, a quick snap dispelling his two active bulwarks into ethereal blue energy that flowed back into his gauntlet.
"Just keep an eye on Nix's followers for now. I'd rather not fight on any more fronts than we are right now." he called out in answer to Nereus and a warning to the others before taking off towards the bleachers at a sprint, weaving between the spindly legs of the lanky Wraiths as he kicked up a flurry of snow behind him.
Throwing the sharp pointed bottom end of his shield into one of the creatures, he used it as a foothold to launch himself into the air, twisting around with both gauntleted hands outstretched as etheric essence shot out. "Guard from lasers!" he shouted, forming a large bulwark between the track-become-battlefield and the school. It wasn't big enough to protect everything, but he could certainly feel the energy drain that came from casting a bulwark even that large. Hopefully though it would be enough to stop most of the damage from any errant lasers.
He hit the ground in a backwards roll with a puff of white powdery flakes, a tug from his left hand pulling some unseen string and yanking his shield back into his possession as he took off once again in one fluid motion, making a beeline for the bleachers. Without even taking note of the girl's physical features, he scooped up the half-conscious catalyst who had caused this Wraith outbreak and unceremoniously threw her onto his shoulder, taking just a moment to catch his breath before starting his sprint back to the safe zone of the school.
Or that was the plan at least, until a stream of screaming students poured from the building. It can never just be easy he grumbled internally, turning just in time to see Sentinel take a Laser Blast Deluxe straight to the gut.
"I thought I just fucking told you to—!" with a growl and a clenched jaw Aegis let his words trail off, knowing that chastising his ally for making such an inept and amateur mistake wasn't going to help the situation. In a split second decision, he continued towards the school, his instincts bidding him to protect the ones that couldn't protect themselves over his allies who could actually fight. The students were obviously running from something, and besides, Nereus had already moved to protect Sentinel. As long as nobody got distracted again, the Magical Fighters on the scene could probably mop up the rest of the Wraiths… probably…
Handing off the depressed Wraith-beacon of a girl to an adult who had been ushering the students out of the door, Aegis wasted no time slipping inside of the cafeteria he had just been sitting in mere minutes ago. With a squeak of his heels on the laminated floor, he came upon quite an odd sight: Chains and writhing vines and… a catboy straddling a girl and, oh hey, Noir was here.
While it all looked rather… questionable, Aegis immediately worked out what was going on. Making a Nightmare, in the middle of the school?! he thought, his face darkening as he silently seethed. If Noir hadn't caught them and given the students time to flee before the transformation took place, the sheer bloodshed that would have happened…
"Stop pretending you care about anyone's life and drop whatever spell you have on that girl." he said, pointing the spiked end of his shield towards the ostentatiously dressed catboy, keeping his voice level and apathetic despite the anger billowing up inside of him. "Or would you rather see how little three Magical Fighters care about the life of a murderous Warlock instead?"

The situation escalated rapidly, more Wraiths emerging like wasps from a hive, and about the same level of aggressiveness, too. The followers of Aurora did so enjoy their numerical advantage up till a moment ago. It would be interesting to see how well they could maintain their momentum once they lost it. It would in fact be in Omen's interest to make absolutely sure they could cull the herd and keep the vicinity intact, but the sudden change of trajectory of several of the magical heroes implied a change in priority. Omen paused for a moment, feeling one of the strings around her heart twang and tighten, like a particular whopper of a fish pulling at the hook. The cafeteria...
"I may need your help. Come." She nodded at Eulampis.

As she leapt towards the rapidly-fracturing dining hall, Omen closed her eyes and concentrated, dismissing her scythe and focusing on the card that appeared to replace it in her hand. Deception. Denial. The way Eleonore had deluded herself into thinking she could ignore the signs of doom. The way she hid those facts from her own sister.
The Moon.
Just like that, Omen landed in the cafeteria, a clear crystal orb in her hands. It rapidly clouded over with thick white mist as she focused her power, heavy black wisps forming around Happy and his vine barrier, and more importantly their prize.
With that Omen addressed Hemera and Aegis without looking up at them. "It's not too late to step away. This girl and the nightmare within her are ours. Nix needs it. She needs it."
Any magical attack directed at the targets protected by the wisps would appear to be swallowed up by the darkness, completely nullified. This was largely an illusion, however. Happy would have to put some effort into defending himself against whatever got through.

Guppy was here!
"Shit!" Noir spat as he realized his mistake, acting rashly and not considering the girl standing there. What the hell was she doing!? He tried to redirect the chains with a strained grunt, but the momentum behind them was too fast for him to adjust in time. Just as a hole formed in his gut at the realization, that he was going to hit the girl, his eyes widened in shock to see the Warlock leap for her, just barely managing to cover her before his chains coiled around his arms and restraining him. Noir furrowed his brow, his mind momentarily boggled by the act made by the Warlock. He was confused at the moment, rarely seeing Warlocks act in such a way with their victims. Even if it was to make them into a Nightmare Warlock and Witches would never go to such lengths to protect their potential Nightmare. Though he gritted his teeth in frustration at the shit show he found himself in, he couldn't ignore the pang of relief fluttering in his chest. The girl was safe from his error, but now the Warlock had her. Whatever his reasoning was for saving her, Noir knew better than to believe it was for a good one. There has never been a Warlock with any good intentions.
His frustration would soon grow to anger as the Warlock spoke up, mocking him for his mistake and laughing at him. Noir's teeth ground against one another, his fist tightening till the black leather of his gloves strained to not tear. Shame fell heavily onto his shoulders, hating the fact that his enemy had spoken the truth about him nearly killing the girl. "Damn it!" he hissed in irritation before raising his hand into the air, his fingers flexing as if they were ready to pull a trigger. "Get off her before I rip your arms clean off!" he barked, his threat holding a genuine grim honesty. However, it seemed his threat went on deaf ears as the moment he finished, he just barely noticed the Warlock make the slightest flick of his wrist. Not even a second later several throned vines crashed from under the floor, racing toward Noir at alarming speeds. "Bastard!" he growled under his breath before leaping back, just hardly able to avoid the first few vines. As his left foot touched the floor though, more of the vines slithered quickly at him, obviously targeting his legs. With no time to lose, he shot his arms upward, two chains shooting from the palm of his hands and embedding themselves into the ceiling. Noir then gripped the chains and yanked himself upwards, avoiding most of the vines as they shot passed under him. To his dismay though two of the vines blasted upwards, wrapping around his left leg and sinking their thorns through his pants and deep into his flesh.
An involuntary shout of pain escaped him, the feeling of warm crimson blood already running from below his knee. Gritting his teeth as he struggled to get free from the vines Noir knew he could let these damn things stay wrapped around him. Still hanging from the ethereal chains in the ceiling, Noir swung himself away from the vines, the thorns in his leg tearing at his pants and flesh until he managed to finally slip free, not unscathed however. Landing on his shoulder atop a table Noir rolled with the momentum, rolling off and onto his feet on the floor. He stumbled as he got his footing, the intense stinging sending bolts of pain up his injured leg. He looked back to the Warlock, his glare of pain and frustration ever more intense. Luckily, he managed to keep his chains wrapped around him intact, but the bastard still had the girl under him.
Before Noir could come up with a new plan of attack, he snapped his head to the left as another magical fighter appeared, coming to aid Noir in taking on this Warlock. Noir couldn't tell if he had seen her before, but for some odd reason, she looked weirdly familiar. Perhaps he had seen her during one of his patrols. Though he couldn't remember seeing a Magical fighter looking like a princess. He shook his head, clearing his mind and focusing on the task at hand. As the new Magical fighter raised her staff and prepared to cast a bright attack spell, Noir looked at the Warlock, he saw a look of panic in the eyes before they shouted out to them, continuing to show concern for his victim. "Shit!" he shouted as the Warlock then used his body to cover what he could of the girl. Noir turned to the Magical girl with a raised hand. "Don't! It's too risky!" he shouted, glancing back at the two with a heavy frown under his mask. "We need to get her away from before we can outright attack him," he said before taking a few steps forward, his left leg shaking as the open wounds continued to bother him.
As a wall of thick vines shot up from the ground, breaking Noir's vision of the Warlock and his victim, he clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Damn it, we can't let him have her," he thought aloud, his frustration clear in his tone. Before he could figure out how to separate the two, the squeaking of shoes made him pause and look over to see another Magical fighter join the fight. Noir held back a sigh of relief at the welcomed addition. "Aegis, good. We need all the help we can get," he said before looking back to the wall of vines that blocked them from their target. He could hear Aegis's anger from the tone of his voice as he spoke, understanding the feeling. A long sigh escaped Noir before he took a deep breath, his mind running ideas through his mind before finally picking one.
"Listen to me you two, our main goal is to get that girl away from him at any cost. He cannot be allowed to have her under any circumstances. The situation here is bad enough, we don't need more complications," he said to the two Magical fighters, before directing his gaze to the Magical girl. "I don't know you and I don't know what you're capable of, but from the build-up of your attack I'm going to guess you'll be able to blast through his vines much more effectively than the two of us," he said before pointing to the wall of thick vines. "Hit that with the attack you were preparing before until you break through," he directed before looking to Aegis. "Aegis, I have my chains wrapped around him, restraining his arms. I'm going to double down on those restraints, so once she clears a way for you, get in there and get that girl away from him however you can," he said before looking back to the wall of vines, slowly raising his hands and flexing his fingers. "We have one shot at this, we can't mess up," he clarified, preparing to double the restraints on the Warlock's arms, ready to break his arms if he had to. This had to work, it needs to work.
