Ryan had made it part way down the hall when the shadowling from before returned, following after him like some abandoned dog. The only difference was that this dog had rather sharp claws and didn't really resemble a dog at all.
:Oh come on, you're a still target! Move already! You're getting left behind!:
"I know already, geez! What's got your tail in a knot?" He demanded, striking the creature with his claws, only to hear an irritable grumbling in his mind from the carbuncle.
Growing more frustrated with the little critter, she took a chance and reached for the shadowling. Successfully catching it within her grasp, it was instantly discard and thrown out into the hall with a shot to follow. Stepping out of her dorm, her brow knitted together while her expression formed into a look of disgust. "I've just about had it with little Halloween and other abnormal creatures running about where they don't belong.."
Raising her weapons again, she pause a moment when catching sight of a familiar blond haired boy. "Oh, its you, Ryan.." Oh yeah, she was still pissed that he didn't remember her.
She was still here? What was that supposed to mean? Or was he just stating a fact..? Either way, it did little to improve her attitude. Clenching her hand into a fist, she struck the shadowling for a final time. Not even stopping to watch as it dissipated, Kat stomped her way towards Ryan. "Yes, I'm still here. That little s**t was faster then I gave it credit for."
"I can believe that. They're certainly more resistant than I figured they would be." Then again, wasn't that the case for almost everything they encountered?
The heartless received another kick, followed by a quick swipe of his claws. It wasn't until the creature disappeared into the ground again that he noticed Kat has already disposed of her own opponent. She made it look so easy too.
Ryan was about to strike the creature again, but like the shadow it was it sunk into the ground where he was unable to touch it. When it reappeared it was to slash at him with its claws.
To be honest, the whole fight was becoming tiresome. He wasn't fond of fights where the enemy disappeared and melded with the ground. It was like fighting a ghost and those were always tricky bastards. At least when he fought a monstrous creature or something undead, as terrifying as they are, they couldn't exactly phase or turn themselves invisible. Or in this case, melt into the ground like some annoying shadow.
Once again, like before, the heartless emerged. Only this time, having repeated this process more than once already, Ryan was prepared for it. It was actually pretty easy when he thought about it. All he had to do was keep an eye where the shadow was moving along the ground and wait for it to come up off the ground. It was at that very moment that he noted the creature was most vulnerable. It couldn't run or dodge while it formed, which left it very vulnerable. Not to mention, the perfect target.
With a small grin, Ryan struck the creature directly on the head, causing the little black beast to dissipate into a black cloud like smoke. Nothing was left behind.
"I think its gone for good this time." He called to Kat, checking over his injuries and giving a sigh. That little b*****d had landed more hits than he cared to admit.
"I'm going to head towards HQ. From what I know that's where my division is headed. You coming?" He asked, before taking off.

It wasn't bad enough that Jude was having weird, weird dreams. The young man tossed and turned and then jolted awake thanks to alarms going off and he was greeted with large luminous eyes staring back at him as it flailed claws at him somewhat manically. He sucked in a harsh breath and suddenly thrust out a fist to punch the damned thing right in the middle of its unnerving glowing yellow eyes.
The shadow screeched in an upset fashion and stumbled backwards.

The shadow flailed back at him to try and get some sort of revenge. Jude let out a grunt of annoyance and backhanded it right up against the nearest wall. Did he really have to wake up to this?

Not bothering to assist him as he fought off his own shadowling, she waited for him to finish it off before following him outside. From the looks of things, it wasn't too hard for her to pick her destination, what with all the divisions going their seperate paths. "Yeah, I'm coming." Might as well. All, or at least most, of the sun and moon division had gone off in the direction of the head quarters. She might as well make herself useful there. Besides, these creatures were becoming a damned nuisance.

It hissed and clawed at him again all feeble and weak. It was more of an annoyance than anything. Jude just sighed and made sure his cowl was on straight.

Another claw to the shin and then Jude had enough. He growled as he reached down to grab it by the ears and flung it to the other side of the room where it seemed to not move or do anything anymore.
Good. He was glad.
He stomped out of his room after he got his boots on. Jude was displeased with his current situation.

Waking up was hard enough. Waking up with a tiny black thing bouncing on his chest was even worse. Robert punched whatever had decided that it was time to wake up, but when he realized his fist had hit something softer than flesh, his eyes blinked open and he looked at his new friend.
Or, well, new enemy, he supposed.
"b***h WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN MY ROOM?" He roared, violently lunging for it.

Thankfully, the size of whatever the little invader was, was just enough to get under Robert's boot. It was quick, and seemed capable of moving in ways that weren't entirely normal, but every time Robert saw it's little yellow eyes, he just stomped on it like a bug.
