He arrived at the dismantled Main Dojo and walked over the rubble. His single yellow eye was scanning the environment to see if anyone was in the surrounding area.

Tier's eye eventually wandered towards the Tram Station. The Station itself was barely standing and there were sparks of electricity coming off of some severed lines that powered the lights in the nighttime.
The Trams would have to stop short of reaching the Main Dojo or they would crash into the wreckage.
His single yellow eye continued to scan over the debris.

A trace of Iri's energy finally ventures toward Tier. It's an air spy, nothing more than a spark of chakra and a swirling ball of air. Attached to the air spy is a long, barely perceptible string of energy, connecting the technique to its owner. It approaches Tier from the front, and Iri's voice projects from it.
"Are you alright, Tier? What can you tell me about what's happened? Jin's already informed me of some things he sensed that I couldn't, but I need your report of the situation."

Tier's head snapped forward at the approaching spark of chakra that his eye spotted. "..."
It was similar to Iri's chakra signature; so there was no mistaking it was an enemy trying to trick him when Iri's voice came out of it.
"Kansou was a traitor and fought against Kaimen. Then I saw Kaimen's body explode with my eye. I see no body was left behind in the aftermath. Kansou is in allegiance with Bao Steel; who is still alive."

The spy is silent for a few moments. Though Tier may not realize it, relaying information takes time via this method.
"Kansou is a traitor? And allied with Bao Steel? That's unfortunate. She's not the only one that's betrayed us. If you see Ishira, be wary of her. It's a long story, but I've labeled Nekojiri as our enemy without a shadow of a doubt. And Ishira seems to have sided with him."
There's a pause, as though Iri has become distracted on the other side of the connection.
"I'm at the Rai Dojo with Lina and Reeve. I'm about to order my students over here. And I'll be here for a while, because I've got a good feeling that Nekojiri will send people after Reeve, and he's weak from injury right now. Jin's just told me that Kwubara is headed for your location. Once you two hook up, I guess do as you see fit. But I plan on trying to step up the academy's security. Any advice or suggestions, Tier?"

"RRRRRR, NEKOJIRI.."
Tier paused and listened for the rest of Iri's message, there did seem to be a delay in her speech. "We're short on strength of arms considering we just lost a teacher that was capable of defending our Institution. It would be best that we all stick together until we know our current situation fully. It seems there are now two groups of enemies we have to watch out for.
When Kwubara comes, we will also rendezvous at the Rai Dojo.
Consider all strangers who wander our way as possible hostiles."

"I've already informed my students to be cautious of intruders. And, as far as defending the Academy, I'll take care of it, Tier. You probably don't think much of me, but I know for a fact who my enemy is now, and I won't be holding back any longer. Defense is our best bet right now, but that will change later."
For the first time, Iri's spy shows a trace of emotion in its voice. Determination, and a hint of anger.
"But, this will all be discussed at length when you get here. Be careful til then."

Tier's silence meant he understood Iri's stance on the situation. He gave a nod and turned to search with his single yellow eye for any trace of Kwubara's chakra signature while keeping stationary.

For the last time, Iri's voice rings out from the spy.
"Son of b***h. Tier, Ishira and another woman have arrived at the Rai Dojo. I think the other one is Motoko. We got this! But I want you to be ready to move if we need back up. I'm gonna withdraw this thing for now. I'm out!"
Then, with a noise like static, the air spy collapses.

"Sh.."
Tier started to move around the wreckage of the Main Dojo to search for Kwubara's chakra signature. He probably fell unconscious while walking. RRRRRRR, USELESS..!

Kwubara drifted in through the trees. He stoped at the edge of the blast radius and looked around. The desturction was bad but he had seen worst.
"Tier." He called, not daring to enter the area. Kwubara started to look around for any auras that would lead him to Tier.

"H-Hey, he's over there."
Ren's body came up from behind Kwubara out of the earth. His skin was turning back to it's normal texture as he was slipping out of the ground's shelter.
On his feet again, Ren still had his Byakugan activated. There were tears running down his face from what he just witnessed a few moments ago. His mentor was now gone.
"U-u-ghh."
Ren tried to push back his sobbing with added effort.

Tier spotted two familiar chakra signatures behind him. He heard Kwubara's voice and turned. He could also see Ren standing behind Kwubara's mist form and walked to them.
Tier wouldn't say anything until they were face to face.

Kwubara almost jumped out of his skin. "Don't do that again." He said to Ren as he remade his body. "It will be ok, but right now you have to put your emotions on hold. We need to get someplace safe." He asked as he turned to face Ren. Kwubara placed a hand on Ren's shoulder for some comfort, then handed him a piece of cloth to wipe his eyes with.

"O-oh. So-orry."
Ren's optical bloodline deactivated and the veins around his eyes disappeared. He accepted the piece of cloth and wiped away the tears before Tier could see.
"O-ok."
Ren was still trying to suppress the sobbing.
