Nikolaus knew all too well this wasn't going to be a fair fight. This wasn't an act to prove chivalry, this was to obtain vengeance. Fighting fair wasn't in his plans. Both of his magical whips shot out from his hands, glowing and seeming to burn with magical fire. His eyes glowed with their own icy blue fire, and his aura lashed out at those near him. Nikolaus wasn't going to make the first move, preferring to play the defensive. Behind Ares he could see demons readying their Godly enhanced bows, ones that used to belong to Loki. The Demigod son of Baldr was ready to fight, and losing was not an option.

Musica smirked, feeling like his old jolly and calm self for a brief moment. If only for a moment. "Not that I don't plan to fight him off. If possible I wish to absorb into my body again. I just realized how much better life used to be the way I was before." Musica felt much better actually, as if he could lift the entire sky upon his shoulders. Then again, when he lifted his arms to cross them they felt as if they would break. Perhaps his peace was all in his head.

Ari nodded… but this scared her. Nikolaus scared her, more than she would ever admit. Instead of saying something, she laughed bitterly. Oh how things had changed. Ari supposed dying put things into perspective. ”Alright then,” she said, smiling in her new blasé way, ”… just what do you plan on doing to him? I’d love to get a whack or two in before you go all osmosis on his a**!”

Ares smirked at Nikolaus. The stupid demigod had never battled a true War God, and it was obvious. Ares didn't need eyes to fight, though they did help. He had 'feelings,' and he knew that he was utterly surrounded. This demigod wanted to fight dirty, and that was completely fine with Ares.
Ares could fight dirty, after all.
Nikolaus didn't know what Ares could do. Not many did. So Ares simply drew his sword, looking for all the world like the stuck-up god he was, seemingly not noticing the demons at the ready behind him.
"Dear boy," he said, sounding unusually cordial, "would you like a lesson in the art of war?"
He swung his blade.

Nikolaus merely stood there as the sword struck home against his body with a loud metallic clank. Then he smiled, knowing the impenetrable armor was doing it's job. It would take a Hell of a lot more than a blade to pierce his armor, if anything could. He lifted both of his Light whips up and lashed them out at the War God, hitting one after the other. The demons stood at the ready, still pounding on the barrier as well. They were not about to give up, they would protect the son of the God whom everyone loved. It was just kept quiet that Musica was part of the son of Baldr as well.

"Now that, I do not know. I'm sure the idea will come with the need for it. For now, it would be best to go make sure the barriers holding up." In the blink of an eye Musica had teleported out of the school to a distance away from the lake. He hadn't taken Ari with him, though he would if he knew that's what she wanted. He didn't know her anymore like he used to, or at least how Nikolaus knew her.

(Have no fear, Aph with her freak connection to Evermore is here!)
Aphridite was actually feeling a bit drained, but some of the pressure had been withdrawn. Where the hell was Evermore!? Growing angry, and using her connection to the girl, she flung out a thought…
’Evermore! she called with her mind, ’Get your little butt back to Bai Ching! We’re under attack, and we need you!’
Grunting again, she looked to Ari, and flung out an arm. Some of her power detached and flew at the girl. "Go after him," she said, "He may need you. After this, though, I want my power back!"

Ares groaned internally, though nothing was visible through facial expression. He'd hoped that his suspicions hadn't been true, but this just proved them right. This guy had armor that was... well, perfect, if you wanted to get all technical. As the demigod flung the whips at him, though, he changed shape, successfully avoiding the whips by taking the form (momentarily) of a boar. It was his symbol, after all.
Then he transformed back, a few steps away. He needed a weakness--the only one he could think of was the spots that the armor didn't cover.

Ari felt a rush, and smiled. EDIT: Ari whipped around to the sound of Evermore's voice. Her normally sweet face darkened... and then she gave a laugh. It sounded slightly insane. "News flash, sweetheart, I did die!" she exclaimed, pulling at the neck of her tank top to expose the vivid pink scar where the knife had pierced her heart. "... and now I'm back. Miss me?" she asked, grinning like a hyena. ”Now, unlike you, I have places to go, a guy with a head injury to watch, and people to take revenge upon. Catch you on the flip side!” How had Aph told Ness to teleport? Think of where you wanted to go most... that was it. She closed her eyes, and thought of Musica. She wanted to be where he was to help... she wanted to be where he was to help...
She felt an odd sensation, as if gravity was suddenly gone. Ari then felt grass under her feet. Looking up, she saw she was a little ways away from the lake. She turned to him. "You're not going anywhere without me," she growled, "... not with that head injury you're not. Plus, I said I wanted a whack at Nikolaus, and godsdamn it, I'm going to get it!"

{{Thank you, Rrine! biggrin I was wondering why no one noticed she wasn't there. lol.}}
The book in Ever's hands flew up and out as she jumped from hearing the yelling in her mind. What the hell?! She nearly had a heart attack!
Not even really thinking about who it was, she raced out of the Room, down the stairs, and stopped in the entrance area. Where was everyone?! If the school was under attack, shouldn't they be here?
Then, she heard a commotion in the medical wing off to the right. She raced in there and gasped at what she saw. She saw Aphrodite standing by none other than Ari!
Ever sighed in relief. "I KNEW you couldn't be dead! I mean, I knew that you could be brash and irrational, but I knew there was no way you could give your life over to some guy that you barely knew! So glad to see that everyone else was wrong, Ari!"

Nikolaus looked on intensely at the God, feeling very confident. He could sense the slight change in his aura, and the searching look in his eyes told him there was slight panic, but not enough to be considered panic. Just uncertainty. His armor did not have the first opening, since it wasn't really tangible. The armor had melded with his body and soul, so the only way to remove it was to kill him. And the only way to kill him was to shatter the armor or kill him internally. No amount of normal physical attack would shatter it.
"A boar, it suits you well War God." He chuckled, readying his whips once more. Nikolaus wasn't going to waste his energy on an attack, since he needed it to help destroy the barrier.
