Shiro blinked at the sudden outburst from the boy that looked a lot like the Djinn they were supposed to be fighting. Shiro scratched his head. This kid sounded a lot like he was underestimating the cat demon's magical abilities. 'Though I would agree that I am no where near as skilled as Lucian.' He crossed his arms over his chest and huffed, flicking his tail. He looked at the chick as she started going on about gods know what. He turned his head to the side and 'tch'ed as he was told what to do. Though he did make a slight grin at the fact that this chick apparently thought Sebastion was some kid to be given orders. If this had been the vampyre's brother, he would've ripped her throat out. "Let's go, Sebas-chan." he turned to walk away toward some students who didn't look involved in fighting. 'I should actually go back and find mom...' he thought, glancing back at Sebastion.
Sebastion sighed. Now Shiro's mouth had finally gotten him in trouble. Bad news was that it somehow dragged Sebastion down with the demon. "Deepest apologies, Mr. Luca." Sebastion bowed his head slightly. "We did not mean to appear eager to charge to our deaths." He apologized for himself as well as Shiro. He rubbed his head as he listened to the girl giving orders. He didn't mind being mistaken for a student, as it happened a lot and he just grew to accept it. But either way, it gave them something to do to help, even if it wasn't fighting. He gently touched his temple as a headache started making itself known. There were too many thoughts being thrown around in the large room and it was starting to make him dizzy. 'Shiro.' he thought as he reached to grab onto the cat demon, only to find that he had walked away already.
Luca held his forehead as Elfriede poked it. The faye girl immediately went from friend to big sister status. Luca so embarrassed. How could he get so emotional like that? Luca watched as Elfriede gave out the commands to everyone and nodded his head."Sorry...."The Djinn apologized to everyone for his outburst. Now willing to cooperate, Luca began to think of ways for them to communicate. When the idea spurred in his mind, Luca snapped his fingers then. What seemed like a blue tooth ear piece appeared on everyone's ear. "....It's magic...but in the form of these devices called 'blue-tooth', fascinating isn't it?" Luca said starting to have a nerd moment. He was still adjusting to the modern day world. For the sniper rifle Elfriede requested, well that's not what she was going to get. Taking off one of his golden bangles, Luca lifted Elfriedes hand and placed it on her wrist. "This bangle is made my Djinn's magic. Whatever you want it to do, it will. Simply because I do not know what a sniper rifle is....but just think it and it will be it" Luca said smiling to his faye friend. If they were to win this fight, they had to be unified. "Everyone..I am sorry....I welcome you in this fight to defeat my brother. Together we are strong. Together we can help save our friends. Our school." Luca said looking around to everyone he has insulted earlier on accident. "Let's put our training to good use.....good luck..."Luca said smiling to everyone. Then he noticed the other newcomer. Blinking blankly to him, the Djinn shook his head no. "We do not..but he will show soon..." Luca said to the demon boy. Luca then returned to Elfriede's side waiting for her to take leave.
"Understood... " Rheaus gave little more than a nod here. Despite evidence to the contrary he was still at least portraying the facade he was capable of taking on Lucian, and so he kept on the right side of Occam's razor, and perhaps more accurately the careful balance of Mu, in regards to his nervousness and said as little as possible. A good warrior as always.
Footsteps could be heard beginning to trickle down now on the long sill of the hall turned late spring window as Rheaus turned to Elfriede with those marble eyes of his.
"We should get going. I'll clear the way, you stay behind." He didn't expect her to be quiet, but knew she was smart enough to use him as a shield. This was just a formality, as if some litigation relied on Rheaus disclosure to waive any and all responsibility for whether or not the hybrid actually listened to him later on. It wasn't long before the rain was seeping into the cafeteria, and the spiders, pragmatic as always, ran for warmth. Even if it meant the prince's spine, even if he was ready, they came with venom and eaten-up swords. Silver winked cockily from phase to phase, his spear now cutting the air in the cafeteria like the moon does the night. A slight nod was given to the Djinn who was so quick to dismiss him earlier.
The necrotic troop was as wide as the doorway and deep as the hall was wide. Rheaus took his spear up to eye level and had its tip locked on to the front center abomination. The frills of his ulnar fins fanned out to reveal a surprising palette of reds and greens, violets and blues. With as certain rhythm one might expect from a seasoned warrior, Rheaus began his assault on the battalion by taking quick and accurate stand through the windpipes of his targets. It was like the whole thing was some macabre dance, and Rheaus was out to win over the judges.
"Once we make a path we can leave. Come on!"

Age: 16 || Species: Fairy/Naiad|| Status: Authoritatively Parched... honestly too much talking... || Money:$500
Elfriede just stared blankly at the mercenary. So he was mad at her, but then he wants her to strip him? He must be talking about Luca, he was pretty handsome after all. Taking a moment she bent down and put her hand on the mercenary's shoulder and whispered to him; "I don't think Luca is interested in romance right now with you being the enemy and all, but I'm sure one day you'll get out of the 'kill-on-sight' zone." She said, trying to look as reassuring as possible, though it was pretty much a straight face as she took a cloth from her bag and tied it over his eyes. Standing back up she was surprised to see another newcomer. Taking a look around she deduced that there sure was a lot of hair bleaching going on here. She listened to the newcomers input on how this was a bad idea and nodded her head. "Perfect, that means you can go with Rheaus to watch over the mercenary until further notice. We may not know Lucian's whereabouts at the moment, but lessening how many targets are in one area is better. We don't want to be bunched up in a group so Luca's psychotic brother can come and nuke us with his magic like I'm sure he can, cause if I was an evil djinn, I know I would. Besides, There are things that need to be done before we start going on the offensive. A disgruntled and weakened army is no good when your trying to mobilize against a larger threat. However, I appreciate your input and will take such into consideration before I give my next set of orders. Also, you are now Three. Okay, the orders after that one." She was pleased that almost everyone else was ready to complete their tasks, just as she was. She waited as Luca fashioned the bluetooths and when he gave her a strange magic shiny bangle for her arm, she had to fight the urge to shake her arm up and down just to see it shine in the dim dining hall light. Instead she mentally pictured what she wanted and the sniper rifle appeared in her hands, a small cord attaching to the bangle on her wrist. Obviously she played too many video games, but it should work for her purposes. "Thanks Luca. As Rheaus said we should get going. Three, take up the front with Rheaus, you can carry the mercenary, One and Two will take up either side, while Luca and I get the back. Turning her attention to the students she said; "Everyone get a buddy and put yourselves into the middle of our little circle, and no injured with injured. If anything happens you have a buddy to help. Once we get through we split. From there those with communication devices periodically check in." She bent down and picked up her little makeshift bomb. "Alright Rheaus, lead the way." She called out, falling to the back. After a second of silence she called up to the front where Three was. "The orders after those."
Alek simply gave a smirk the entire time. Even raising his chin some to help her cover his eyes. "Kinky~ We should do this again but under different circumstances~" He stated as she did so.
Alek would just remain quiet and bound if carried. With the occasional grunting and groaning.
Raising an eyebrow as the blue-haired man answered his questioned on the whereabouts of Lucian, Sicarius could only nod silently. That was not a good sign, if they didn't know where the Djinn or his men were hiding, then it was entirely possible for a group to wander straight into them. The ravenette was quick to assign the demon as the personal escort to the groggy looking man on the floor, an ally of the Djinn perhaps? Sicarius wanted to reject the task at first, but realized that the only other option was to fight on the frontlines, "Very well. Which one is Rheaus exac-" was all that he could say before something had caught his attention.
The silver-haired demon heard the sounds of footfalls coming from behind him, looking over his shoulder he could see what appeared to be a large group of soldiers advancing towards the dining hall. Spinning in place to face them, Sicarius hopped backwards slightly, letting the Zoran rush ahead to meet them head-on. Rushing over to the mercenary, Sicarius forced him to his feet, "You heard the lady. Up and at 'em!" he stated before pushing a hand to the mercenary's back, Sicarius had no idea who this man was or how important he was, but there was one thing he was certain of: The man would make a great meat shield.
Luca smiled to Elfriede and nodded his head. Turning to see the upcoming platoon of Lucian Loyalist, Luca took a samurai's stance. His katana appeared in his hands. In a quick flash Luca was standing behind four henchmen. Luca stood tall and resheathed his sword. The four henchmen groaned and fell over as several cut marks appeared all over their bodies. "Elfriede! Back us up!" Luca said standing next to Rheaus with a different samurai's stance with an devils smirk. Luca looked to Rheaus and nodded his head. Luca ran forward, his sword clashing against a henchmen's sword. With a quick parry, Luca sliced through him like butter. Luca ran forward leaving a few enemies for his allies to also take down.
Making a slight grunting noise in response to Luca's command. She was the order giver. It's been established since like six minutes ago. She jumped up into the air and floated so she could get a view over everyone's heads. Even with the boots to make her seem taller Elfriede was still probably the shortest one in this group, and she needed a little extra lift to see. Removing her glasses so they wouldn't bother her while she put her eye to the scope She tucked them into her shirt and aimed down the scope. She wanted bullets that would hurt but not kill. Killing wasn't really her thing if she had to do it herself. A good concussive hit to the head or body could keep someone down and out for hours or even days without proper medical care. Of course there was always the chance of death with a particularly good shot, but she could put that off as their occupational hazzard. Pulling the trigger to fire, she aimed for a section of enemies ahead of the group to thin them out before they got to them. She watched as the bullet connected to the sternum of her target and in a sense 'popped' with enough force to send the target and two others nearby flying into other oncoming attackers. 'Ten out of Ten, best gun.' She thought to herself. She'd even let go the fact that Luca rushed out to the front lines even though she wanted him in the bask to conserve his energy. "Three, Rheaus is the fis-the guy with the spear and fins. Stay close to him, he's your new buddy for the duration of this little conflict we have going on." She took another shot, picking off some people that were trying to collapse on the three in the front. Catching sight of something in the corner of the scope, Elfriede notced some of the attackers were preparing to shoot something at them. Fantastic. Turning her attenttion to fire on them, she couldn't say she was surprised when the bullet burst against nothing, leaving a large crack in the air. Rolling her eyes Elfriede changed her tactics, modefying the bullet in her mind to be a piercing round. 'Occupational hazard.' She thought to herself as she took the collective kill shots, watching as her bullets burrowed through the shield and into their targets. "That was way less fun that it should be." She said to herself.
With frills unfurled and a grimace of chitinous teeth Rheaus held the line for Luca and the argent-haired man to start making their way into the hall. This was the way it went for a while. Rheaus would push, Luca would dazzle with his impressive skill, and Sicarius would lug the poor sap known as Alek through the gap while Elfriede moved as a cloud’s shadow behind them. Rheaus was noticing something. If all of them were clamouring for the front, and if Sicarius took the gap they made, and there was theoretically another gap behind him to Elfriede, then who in the heck was stopping the horde from reforming behind Sicarius and overwhelming Elfriede at close range? Rheaus returned Luca’s nod before catching up to him. It wasn’t hard. These necrotic soldiers were as tough as they were plentiful. Tedious is all it was.
“I’ll take the front. You should protect Elfriede.” Rheaus nodded his head toward the back of the line where zombie warriors were already crowding around the sides of the Niad and the Demon. Rheaus’ face didn’t show a willingness to argue about, no matter how dangerous it would’ve been for someone of his mortal limitations. “... Go.” After that a final push into the thick of the crowd. They swarmed, Rheaus was eclipsed in the carrion charge.
Yes, that’s right… Get nice and close.
A moment of relative silence grinded by as Rheaus seemed to be swallowed by the horde. Then, from seemingly nowhere, a great crackling flash rung and exploded through the masses of rotting soldiers, immediately causing their muscles to contract and contort and sometimes snap off. It took out about seven enemies, and suddenly there was momentum.
But as all things must surely have a price Prince Rheaus’ payment for this inertia was at the cost of his health. Noticeable scars, deep and long, ran the length of the Zora’s body in some places. His gills had closed in case of slashing: a natural defense mechanism. His face was beaten, but within the corner of his eye a pearl of that fiery resolve still remained. He looked back to the group with a reassuring grin that let them know that everything was going to be ok, and that this was what he was missing.
Back to the slaying, Rheaus turned to stab and slash and the carrion menace and making wonderful use of his shield-like ulnar fins and the occasional electrical burst in what proved to be the rhythm of advancement for the front of the group through the halls of Augustine. It was getting to the point, though, that there didn’t appear to be an end to them. As great as they all were they had their limits, especially in a situation like this. and would only be able to hold out so long. But then something odd started to happen. From the ground a terrible shaking rocked up through the fight and stole Rheaus’ attention from the task at hand for a second. It was followed by what looked like more undead soldiers. Rheaus naturally took a sweep or two at them, decided it best not to wait to find out if these were in fact enemy reinforcements.
To his surprise, they kept coming, and even stranger they seemed to be interested in nothing but the ankles of the enemy, pulling them into the upturned Earth. Some of the corpse brigade tried to grab at the group as they went down. This alerted the prince.
“Don’t let them pull you down! Break free no matter what!” He shouted back to the others. Of course advancing through the horde was much easier as they were all held in place for the kill. “Kill” was a strong word, sure, but this was the best way Rheaus could describe the momentary inertia of the enemy forces. He used his quick spear thrusts to efficiently shut down as many as possible, and eventually that didn’t even matter. The whole army was being dragged down now. Who was responsible for this?
“Is everyone alright?” Said the prince checking up on his group. Unfortunately this would be no time to tend to wounds as the foundation of the school was now giving way to some incredible force! Rheaus was shook to the ground, but got up quickly.
“Find a window!” He would attempt to dive straight through one and find a safer environment outside the school.
Alek getting grabbed and flung forward of some other guy like a shield really wasn't to his liking. Struggling to get away but not able to control much due to still being detained. Alek could only attempt to block blows that the user behind him was trying to use his body to do.
Hearing Rheaus's command, Luca nodded and swiftly leaped into the air. Upon landing Luca, smacked a weaponed henchmen with the hilt of his katana. Luca was like a ninja,samurai wizard. Showing incredible acrobatic abilities, Luca was leaping and knocking out enemies targeting Elfriede. Then everything started to unfold. The earth shook and the sky darkened. Two powerful aura's filled the air. "Guys...the great battle has begun" Luca said looking out a window. These undead arms carried the aura of Luka. Luca smiled and leaped into the air. Grabbing Elfriede, a bubble engulfed the two."I got you!" I/color]In a flash the two vanished into thin air.
Elfriede turned around ready to not get her behind kicked, but saw Luca was already in the process of keeping her behind safe. Sighing in relief she saw when the Zora made an escape. There was enough time that they bought for Two and One to get out as well. "THREE I EXPECT YOU OUT THAT WINDOW TO RHEAUS WITH THE MERC-" Her shouting over the noise was cut off when a bubble engulfed her. "DON'T GET SEPERATE-!" Again she was cut off by her and Luca's dissapearing from the group. (Exit with Luca)
Sicarius couldn't help but flash a large sadistic grin as the mercenary did his best to block the attacks of the enemy all the while cursing up a storm, "Vulgar one, aren't we?" he remarked with a short chuckle. At first Sicarius had thought that the enemy would have tried to avoid hitting the mercenary, but after witnessing a few taking swings at the restrained man he now knew that the man held little value to the Djinn or his forces. So then why exactly had the students decided this man was worth anything? Information? His curiousity in why the man was captured in the first place kept the demon from simply tossing him to the horde. The silver-haired demon wondered what secrets the man might spill if he was promised his freedom. Sicarius was crafty enough to come up with a lie should he find the information worth sparing this fool further imprisonment, perhaps the mercenary just happened to take advantage of the chaos and knocked Sicarius out?
Much to the demon's surprise hellish hands started to reach up from a strange void placed at their feet, whatever was causing this seemed to be focusing mainly on the enemy. The zombified enemies began to claw at the mercenary and demon in a desperate attempt to bring them down as well. With his hands tied, the mercenary wouldn't be able to defend himself properly, leaving Sicarius with the task of pushing the withered husks away with a quick kick. This lasted for only a few moments as the enemy had been quickly pulled into the depths of... wherever the void led.
Almost immediately afterwards the school's foundation began to shake, causing Sicarius to lose his balance briefly. Thankfully had he fallen the mercenary would've made a lovely cushion, but this was not the case. The Zora shouted orders for the group to find a window and leap outside where it was safer. Sicarius tightened his grip on the mercenary and led him to the same window that Rheaus had gone through, sticking his head out the window he looked over to the Zora "Rheaus! Hold onto him for a second!" Sicarius ordered, knowing that if this mercenary was worth a damn he'd quickly roll away and make his escape. Turning the mercenary to face him, Sicarius flashed another sadistic grin, "Try not to get a concussion from the fall, 'kay?" he teased before slamming the bottom of his foot into the mercenary's chest, launching him backwards out of the open window and towards Rheaus. Following suit, Sicarius put a single foot on the window frame and leapt out to join the others.

((Just jumping back in. Or out.))
Shiro dived for Sebastion as the school began to shake. He grabbed him, giant leathery wings ripping out of his back as he shot towards the open window the others had already disappeared out of. His wings disappeared as he soared out the window, holding Sebastion closely as they tumbled downward. -exit-
Sebastion, in a fury of confusing sounds and motions, was suddenly pressed against a familiar chest and lifted into the air. He latched onto the cat demon for dear life. They seemed to be flying and Sebastion could hear wings beating before suddenly getting a sinking feeling like falling from a very high place. -exit-
((OoC:: Sorry for disappearing! I wasn't on over the weekend [no computer, library not open, and posting on a tablet sucks {though this post is on a tablet}] and I apparently missed quite a bit. >o< I apologize!)) --QUOTED--
Stefan stepped into the mess hall, walking slowly into the area and observing his surroundings. It was still a little earlier to grab a bite to eat. Infact, it was most likely he was the only person currently there.
"After watching that man devour coffee like it was air, I could suddenly use a refresher."
Near the concessions, he brewed himself a small cup, grabbing caramel and sugar next to the machine. Stirring the ingredients into the dark brew, he stared at his own reflection through the drink pondering about what happened today, the door, and especially that one girl Luka.
