Will All Students Please Report to the Gym (Open)

[Stein]

Stein and River were in blades class when over the loudspeakers came a message Attention students!…Please report to the gym. Students from across the school started filing into the gym, some standing and talking, and others sitting on the bleachers with their computers; Others were reading books, and some were complaining about how stupid this was, others were thrilled that that class had been cancelled or sad that their favorite class was being interrupted. Some people had their backpacks and bags and other had just walked over, figuring this for a stupid 5 minute drill.

Stein shrugged and pulled her lab coat back on, she’d removed it while working on her blade work because it had enough stitches as it was. “We’re already here, come along Damu, let’s sit and continue our research.” Stein said as she put Damu in her pocket and sat by the wall. She then pulled out her book ‘The Psychology and Manipulation of the Human Mind’ and began reading.

River jumped when she heard the announcement start. She quietly collected her daggers from the target she’d been practicing with and put them away. She quietly walked over to the corner of the gym and stood there hugging Arthur to her chest. “A-Ar-Arthur, w-what’s going on? W-why are pe-pe-pe-people coming here? River said quietly to Arthur. Anyone who would spare a glance at River would see nothing more than a scared little girl in the corner clutching her teddy bear. River’s hair was loose around her shoulders and partially covering her face. She was wearing her favorite floral-patterned pink knee-length dress and was bare-foot.

[Horo]

Jena followed the students into the gym with Ty in tow. The room was filling quickly with so many familiar faces. Her eyes flashed from group to group picking out the people she knew. “They bullied me my first year, those girls said so things to me once before! I had to go translate it to know what they meant but it was a bad word. Oh Ty! That boy there tried to help me eat my food once, but he pushed my head into it way too fast. I had mashed potatoes up my nose... The gravy burned a little...”

Jena traveled around the crowds of people trying to find a place to sit, but each attempt resulted in failure. Students would place their things there or claim that the spot was reserved for a friend of theirs. She only smiled and nodded as they lied to her until she finally took a seat on the floor. Ty floated above her right shoulder.

Horo fell through the doors stumbling with each step. She walked out to the middle of the gym and cleared her throat. Producing a microphone she smiled. ”Thank you all for gathering here today. I have a very important announcement to make. I, the Great Horo, would like to present everyone the opportunity to join a special club I’m creating. Membership to the Quickstepp Club is limited so sadly not everyone can join. I’m looking for the fearless! I’m looking for the strong! I’m looking for those in search of adventure! Now, please stay calm. I know this is very exciting for you, to have such a wonderful opportunity but I need an orderly line for your applications. “

”Get off the mic!”
”Someone put a muzzle on that bitch!”

Horo ignored the heckling students and continued. ”Please, I know I said orderly but you don’t have to wait to be called to come sign up. Just walk on down. Come on, don’t be afraid of not making the cut! You should still try to make your life time dream of joining with me a reality.”

”No Really! Shut the fuck up!” No one gives a shit about your stupid club, bitch!”

Horo’s temper began to flair with the boy whose words are typed in red. About to snap, she was brought back as Jena approached Horo. “I’m not really sure about what this club does exactly, but I think it sounds like fun. May I join?” A large grin spread across Horo’s face. She motioned to her side. ”Right this way miss. See! If she can do it you can t~”

”No one cares! Go have your lesbian relationship somewhere else.”
Horo handed the mic over to Jena and began stomping forward. She closed her eyes and felt out the pulse of the boy. His body was a mixture of liquid and solid, but she eventually got a clear picture. ”You ass is mine.” Horo lifted the boy into the air and pulled him up to her face. ”Say something stupid again. I dare you.” The boy whose text is red spat in Horo’s face. She furrowed her brow with anger ready to fling him into the nearest wall.

[Johnathan]

The doors to the gym slammed open with thunderous fury and silence fell across the students. Alvion stormed through the doors, Benjamin, Chrystaline, and Arianna flanking him from the rear. All were dressed fully prepared for combat. The lights flashed, and there was an odd hum in the air as Alvion's power surged. He scanned the gym once before shouting so that his voice would be heard by all.

"The next person who so much as speaks while I'm here will have hell to pay." An eighth year boy cupped his hands to scream back.

"Oh stuff it Al-" There was a thunderous crack as a bolt of lightning slammed into his chest, knocking him unconscious immediately. Alvion's fingers crackled with energy as he surveyed the room again.

"For any who did not hear the announcement, the city is under category 1 lock down. That means that a disaster warranting the possible evacuation of the entire city is happening this very minute." A murmur began to rise from the students but was silenced as an arc of lightning cracked wildly over their heads. Alvion continued. "The gymnasium is linked directly with the Divinity gates for emergencies such as this. Should the lockdown be raised to category 0, all students will be instantaneously transported back to their home nations. If you were born in Savale, you will be handed off to a proxy nation until such a time that the academy is Secure. So long as you stay within the gym, there is no cause for panic. However, leaving is synonymous with suicide. If you value your lives, sit down, shut up, and behave yourselves. If you think I am being over dramatic, that only serves to prove how naive you really are.

"Professor Nezumi will act as supervision for you, while the remainder of the teachers ensure the academies security." Alvion paused as his words sank in. "On the off chance that we fail to hold the academy, you will be transported from here regardless of the lock down level. That is all."

Turning, Alvion stormed his way from the gym, the other teachers turning to follow him with grim expressions.

[Horo]

Horo watched dropped the boy onto the floor as Alivon walked into the room. She was tempted to protest him, out of spite, but quickly reconsidered as he began to shoot lightning around the room. With a heavy sigh, she twisted and sat down cross legged on the floor. Jena sat down next to her and gestured for Ty to float over to their side.

As Alivon left with his entourage of teachers, Jean leaned over to Horo’s ear and whispered. She tried her best to sound polite and respectful, not wanting to step on the toes of her new Club Captain. ”Excuse me Captain, may my friend Ty join your club too?” Horo turned to face Jena with a very happy smile. She looked around quickly before asking ”Where is your friend?” Jena giggled and pointed at the floating tigerlilly. Horo’s eyes grew wide and doubtful but quickly softened and filled with pity. She placed her hands on Jena’s shoulders and with a heavy sigh spoke. ”Jena, Ty is a flower.” Horo looked at the sincerness in Jena’s eyes and dropped her head. She looked back up at Jena and chuckled ”Ok, Ty can join.” Jena lunged in and gave Horo a tight hug while repeating her thanks. ”Ty! Ty! I finally joined a club! I’m finally going to start making close friends!”

”Take your lesbian relationship somewhere else! We don’t want to see this shit!”

Horo’s brow furrowed again as she pushed Jena’s arms off from around her. The heckler whose font is red stood tall, around 6’8” and weighed probably close to 270 lbs by Horo’s estimates. His skin was pale with red blotches of sunburn and his clothing comprised of a loose sports jersey and athletic shorts. He dwarfed Horo by about 3 feet, out classed her at nearly three times in weight. He was behind Horo, having been dropped there earlier and his voice was even more annoying up close.

”Why don’t you bitches go outside and get yourselves killed! That way, you could spare us from your annoying voices!” As he spoke, his friends in the bleachers howled and hooted. He stuck his arms out to the side and smacked his chest, hyping himself up even more. Horo stood up slowly and turned around, Jena, feeling her rage tired to stop the small Capitan but Horo moved forward before Jena could grab her wrist.

The boy took a boxing stance and leaned forward with a jab, but his muscles slowed him down and his size allowed Horo to easily dodge his fist. She crouched and planted her palms on the ground, rolling forward until her shoulder blades were touching the gym floor. She then sprung forward and slammed both of her feet into the heckler’s genitals. His face turned white as he cringed and curled up into a fetal position. Horo planted her feet on the ground and used her well defined leg muscles to spring into the air and twist her body for a variation of a butterfly kick. The ball of her foot crashed down on the the joint where his skull and spine connected, but his muscles deflected most of the damage. He began to rise, so Horo allowed her leg that was connected to him to contract as her other remained extended and dropped below his head. When she was in a full squat with the contracted leg she sprang up and slammed her extended leg’s heel on his chin, wiping his head to the side and knocking him out.

Horo landed gracefully and walked back over to Jena’s side. She with a loud voice announced. ”After this crisis is over, come find me if you want to join my Club. You won’t regret it.” Jena placed her hand on Horo’s shoulder and began questioning if she was alright. Horo dropped down onto the floor and awaited Professor Mikura to give her some words of discipline.

[Sabata]

Manco walked rather comfortably into the gym, as most people were too terrified of his reputation to get to close, and actively squished themselves against other people to avoid him.

Manco yawned and decided to clean out an ear at the announcement, nothing much was worth hearing, then he saw Horo take out the boy that had been annoying him. A grin spread across his face and he approached her. "Hey, nice movies." Manco commented, poking the unconscious boy with his foot, rather disinterestedly. "Name's Manco, not sure if we've met." He then turned his attention to Jena, whose name escaped him. "You're that flower girl right?" Manco asked. "Jeri, wasn't it?"

---

Meanwhile, Zeran was rather uncomfortably jostled into the gym by a heard of students. "Hey, hey, back off will you?! Why are you people packing in like this!" Zeran commented before he managed to get in contact with a wall and walk on that rather comfortably without the large pack of people. The announcement of the situation wasn't very pleasant. Well, sod. This is going to be loads of fun. Zeran commented quietly to himself. Idiots, idiots everywhere, and by Zeran's look he'd be quickly found by Erebus who would proceed to espouse a plan should things go straight to hell without a level 0 warning.

Zeran looked for the sanest looking bunch, which looked like 2 girls and a boy standing next to a currently unconscious student. "Don't bother me, I'm just here because you seem like the people least likely to." Zeran said.

"That's no way to talk to these ladies, you arrogant-" Manco said, before Zeran cut him off.

"Well, there goes that thought." Zeran commented. He half considered electrocuting the rather loud red head in front of him just so he wouldn't have to suffer anymore speech from him.

"Do you want a fight?!" Manco asked. It went without saying that Manco himself did.

"Not really." Zeran commented. One head shot, one head shot. This can be so easy . . . Zeran thought, simultaneously urging himself to and stopping himself from simply taking Manco out.

[Johnathan]

Alexander sat out of sight in the rafters of the gym. From his shadowy vantage he could clearly see every student, as well as the windows of the building. Just coming off of suspension, he would be Alvion's dog for the rest of the year. The strict teacher had ordered him to aid Mekura in guarding the building. With his rifle set to stun, he had free rain to bring down any troublesome students who acted out during the lock down. On the off chance that whatever they were fighting made it this far into campus, he could easily change his rifle's setting. In this lofty sniping location, Alex was in his comfort zone and surveyed the gym with a calm and objective mind.

A small fight had broken out between a small first year, and some much larger hooligans. Alex leveled his rifle on the situation and looked to Mekura for a signal. Receiving none, he simply waited and watched as the small girl took down the much larger boy with relative ease. Alex couldn't help but laugh to himself as he relaxed back on the beam again. As the girl turned and walked back to her spot, he spied one of the boy's friends standing up. Leveling his rifle on the situation again, he waited. The boy held out his hand and in it a large rock began to form.

"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doin?" Alex said to himself. The boy wound up, ready to pitch the large stone straight at the back of Horo's head. Alex pulled the trigger on his rifle just as the stone left his hand. The shot went straight through the stone shattering it to bits, and slammed into the boys face. He fell unconscious immediately. Alex leaned back into the shadows of the rafters and looked down to Mekura for her approval or dismissal.

[Horo]

”Good? My skills are the best!” Horo stood proud as Manco inflated her ego was praise. She firmly placed her hands upon her hips triumphantly. Jena took a step behind Horo and placed her hands on the small captain’s shoulders. She tried hard to hide from Manco, but due to her size it was not possible. ”I’m glad someone is finally starting to notice my greatness!” Horo extended her hand up towards Manco, ”No we have not! I’m Horo, Captain of the Quickstepp Club! This lovely young woman behind me is Jena!” Jena jumped at her name, but regained her composure thinking to herself. ’I have a real friend, I can’t blow this!’ Jena stepped out from behind Horo and smiled ”I’m sorry, but my name is Jena, not Jeri.” Jena jumped with surprise as she realized she had forgotten to introduce the third member of their party. ”And this is Ty! You probably can’t hear him but he says hello!”

Jena spun around quickly as a new voice entered the conversation. This boy’s emotional state was flustered, as if everything was bothering him. She focused on him, locking onto his eyes. ”We won’t bother you, kind sir.” Sadly, Jena still didn’t know Horo well. ”Well well! Another as come to join my ranks! That makes us five strong! And what is your name, robotic man?” Horo’s face grew annoyed as she felt the boys were ignoring her with their fight. She looked at Jena to make a comment, but noticed the young girls eyes locked onto the new boy (Zeran). A plan hatched in her head.

Horo took a step behind Jena and very nonchalantly she ‘pushed’ Jena forward. Haven’t taken Jena’s previous reactions into account, she suspected that the girl would, as she did, trip as she fell forward. Horo’s grin grew mischievous as Jena caught herself on Zeran’s chest, clinging onto his shirt and pressing her face into it as tightly as she could. Jena opened her eyes, as the fear pulsed off of her. Even though she was used to falling, the act still struck fear into her. She looked up at Zeran’s face, her eyes large and round(like Puss in Boots) as a tear fell from her left eye. ”Thank you. I thought I was going to fall, but you saved me.” Jena regained her footing and began supporting her own weight again, returning to a standing position.

Horo took this moment to talk to the men again, placing her hand on Manco’s shoulder. ”Welcome to the Quickstepp club! We have a nice club room down in KAKUZETSU where - “ Horo made eye contact with Zeran ” no one will bother you. Only club members are allowed there, which is us. Isn’t that great?” Horo looked at Manco, gauging that he was a fighter through and through ”And there is a great training facility right down the hall! We could fight all we wanted and never be bothered by teachers!”
Having known them for only a few moments, but she was sure that they wouldn’t join just because she said they were members. She needed to convince them it was where they would flourish. She needed members. ”Actually Manco, we have an event coming up, fighting an extremely powerful sword master. All out, no limits. I’m going to need your skills if we are ever going to win.” Horo walked over and stood next to Ty, waiting for their reactions.

[Rikka]

As the announcement was made students quickly filed toward the gym thinking it was just a drill. Several nodded to the white blonde haired teacher in loose fitting jeans, combat boots and a loose long sleeved shirt. Though some of them questioned the fact that she had a gun and her sword strapped to her waist. It was rarely obvious that their gym teacher was armed. Several knew that if those were the weapons they could see she probably have more hidden under loose clothing. Once in the gym they were then directed by a purple haired woman in short shorts and purple blouse with purple high heels that had wickedly sharp 4 inch dagger on the heels. On her waist was a storage device that all knew the english teacher left her weapons in. Catching her yellow gaze she sent them toward the back of the gym and several other groups up onto the bleachers.

Mekura felt tense as she motioned for students to enter. Unhappy with the pace that students were meandering in she spread out her affinity for sound and spoke her orders. "Everyone will report to the gym now! If I don't see all the students in the gym in the next five minutes I will give you all detention with Alvion for the rest of your school time. The city is in Category 1 Lockdown. Report to the Gym immediately!" It boomed across the campus more pissed off then she had wanted but it did the trick. More and more students were filing at a faster pace. When Mekura could no longer hear any students on the campus she nodded her head satisfied. Hearing Horo Mekura rubbed her head. That girl just loved to have attention. "Horo put the student down and sit down before I cause you do go deaf for a couple of weeks." The threat whispered itself in Horo's ears eagerly. As Alvion stormed in she rolled her eyes and flicked his forehead on his way out before weaving her way to the middle of gym.

Mekura heard Horo starting another fight rubbed her temples. Couldn't Horo just sit and....No no she couldn't it just was not her personality. She had spent the first two months with her. Making her way to Horo she got there in time to hear Manco and Zeran fighting. "Horo after this is all over report to me for three weeks detention. He will report to Alvion when this is over. Manco, Zeran shut up and behave or I will have you both knocked out." Before she could make a move on the boy who was the knocked out ones friend he was on the floor out for the count. Mekura simply arched an eyebrow before moving to settle another dispute. Up in the rafters her voice circled around Alex. "Thank you."

[Stein]

*Disclaimer* This video describes what is about to occur- www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwVqW6J4FRc

River (the main girl in the video/my character) is a 500 year old assassin, who doesn’t care who she kills; if you become too much of a pest (i.e. try to seriously kill her) you will be shot, and Stein will be fixing you.


Blair directed everyone to different parts of the gym as they filled up the open spaces. Grinning she moved around the gym keeping students from fights and threatening any who felt the need to harass the younger students. When Alvion stormed in and shocked one of the students she gasped as if she was startled by his actions. Of course she would have loved to do that to the boy herself. Humming she made her way around the gym again once Alvion and the other teachers had left


Bright blonde hair bounced up and down through the crowds causing others to back away quickly. Many feared the 5'8 girl in her pink dress and white high heels. The girl seemed to giggle as she ran her fingers along the arm of a particularly scared female. Giving her a grin she began to sing as she spotted her little doll along the wall. Off to battle they all go. Running Running till they cry. To kill the enemies across the line So rise to battle child and Do your duty. Emerge ad proelium parvulus et tu--Oh River! Hello!" Grabbing onto her little doll she giggle and gave her a very clingy hug. Spotting Blair heading for her she let go and started to skip off. Realizing her song had been interrupted she continued before she was out of earshot of River. "Emerge ad proelium parvulus et tuum fac officium. On the last word a boy close by lost control over his sound hitting an octave much higher than the human voice box could reach.


----------------------------------------


River tried to back further into the corner when she saw Bridgit skipping towards her “A-ar-arthur w-what do i d-do-do, sh-she’s co-coming to get me-me.” When Bridgit reached her and greeted her joyously she stammered back a nearly silent hello and froze like a deer in headlights when Bridgit hugged her. She watched Bridgit skip off when Blair started walking towards them. She heard Bridgit continue singing her song, she froze and that’s the last thing she remembered.


Something in River’s head reminded her of what she was supposed to do. She dropped Arthur letting him fall to the ground, he was nothing but a stupid child’s play-thing, made of fabric and stuffing, useless to her mission. She saw Blair nearing her position She’ll have to go, she’s between me and my target River thought as she carefully pulled a dagger from her boot and prepared to kill this...obtrusion.


----------------------------------------


"Oh dear! You seemed to have dropped your friend--" Blair looked at River as she seemed to drop her bear and picked it up before grabbing a dagger aimed at her temple. Grabbing the dagger from the girl she narrowed her yellow eyes on the girl.


Mekura's head snapped up and stared at the back of the room as a loud bang rang through the area. Students gasped wide eyed as silence rang through the air for a moment before chaos broke out and screaming students raced for the door.

…...........................................


When Blair grabbed River’s dagger and narrowed her eyes River was picking up her thoughts of rude little brat towards her, she wouldn’t be thinking that for much longer. River knew that this women had some training I’ll need to take more...permanent measure She thought as, while she lost her dagger to Blair with one hand, she un-holstered her pistol with the other and shot Blair through the chest, causing an unnatural silence to fall across the gym. She quickly scanned the gym for her targets identifying 4 targets that needed to be exterminated. She focused first on the one wearing a pink dress and skipping away, towards her second target perfect River retrieved her dagger, dropped into her silent assassin mode and used her speed affinity to quickly dodge through the students and sneak up behind Bridgit hearing her thought of OOOH, what’s that? as Bridgit spun around. River had a dagger to the girls throat before the girl could blink. She went to slit the girls throat while simultaneously pulling a second dagger from her belt. if the girl dodged she planned to trip the girl and stab her through the chest, and if that failed she’d fake a low attack and actually go to slit the girls throat again.

Stein hear a gunshot ring across the gym great, who’s being an idiot now she thought as she stood up and looked around, sighing when she realized that she was shorter than all the students around her. Stein put her book in her bag, and started pushing her way towards the bleachers so she could get a better look at what was happening.When she reached the bleachers and climbed up she started looking around, and noticed Blair in the corner. She jumped down from the bleachers and rushed over to Blair. Stein found the Blair was already dead, from a shot to the chest, sighing she decided that there wasn’t much that she could do. Stein pulled a large white cloth from her bag and covered Ms. Salem with it, other’s didn’t need to see the damage and panic. Stein would never tell the women...but she’d kinda miss the women calling her Eris...Blair was the only one who did besides her father, and her mother when she’d been alive. Having done that Stein walked quickly over to Mekura to inform her of Ms. Salem’s condition.

[mockingbird]

As a large figure, clad in a black and orange suit listening to a pair of deep blue headphones, approached the Academy, he began to think This is strange. The academy used to be a place where there were people everywhere. Wonder where everyone is. As the man noticed this, he took out his headphones and placed them into his bag. Normally this place is full of life and laughter yet there is only silence. Where did we have to meet if there was an emergency again? Stopping and looking around, Fang realized the building in front of him was the gym, Wonder if Mekura is still here. Perhaps she could explain the emptiness of the school. Approaching the doors, he pulled the door open, seeing a large group of students, he called out, “Hey, Mekura. Are you in here?” before hearing the loud gun shot as it rang out in the air, seeing the students panic and bolt toward the doors where Fang stood. What in the.. Fang thought, realizing they were running toward Before they reached him, Fang stepped to the side, and watched as students ran between the gap between Fang and Vlad. Seeing Vlad safe, he noted the stream of students slowing down. Looking back into the gym, he noticed Stein as she moved toward Mekura, then called out once more, “Mekura, why was everyone in here and what was that sound?”

[Sabata]

Zeran almost lost his balance when Jena collided with his chest. He looked down at Jena. " . . . I didn't catch you, you fell on me." Zeran responded to Jena with an annoyed sigh. His gaze then snapped over to Horo as he spoke once more. "Hey! Hey! What exactly are you dragging me into here?!"

MAnco laughed. "Don't worry about it, just go with the flow." Manco commented.

"You're a loony, aren't you?"

"Better that than some guy with a stick up his a-"

Manco was interrupted by the sound of gunshots and Zeran's face said everything he was thinking. Aw fuck.[/color]

Manco was over near the sound of the gunshots in an instance. He saw Blair shot and the girl with the gun. He drew his sword and pointed it at River. "I don't know who the hell you are but scram." Manco said, his voice growing cold and his eyes narrowing.

"I'll be back shortly." Zeran commented. He jumped up onto a wall, using it to get to the ceiling, then clung to the ceiling over River, watching her intently. Slowly he drew his knife from the storage space within his hip as he prepared to drop on River, waiting for the right moment. Any second now . . . any second now . . . wait a minute . . . is that damn loony going to . . . oh hell.[/color]

Manco readied his sword into position. "I said . . . SCRAM!!!" Manco swung his sword and let loose a razor sharp gust of wind at River.

[Johnathan]

Alexander's attention was zero'd across the gym at the first sound of gunshots. As the panicked students began to run for the door, Alex remembered the device Alvion had given him earlier.

In case of an emergency, should mass hysteria run rampant, trigger this device and drop it into the crowd.

Alex looked down at the frightened students once more and sighed.

"Well, here goes nothin." He thought to himself as he depressed the single button on the small metallic sphere. It began to hum in his hand and he dropped it on the crowd below. As soon as it hit the level of the students, it exploded sending a blue wave across the building. The force of it startled Alex, who nearly fell off the beam he was sitting on. "Holy shit Alvion, learn some restraint will ya?" Alex simply stared in disbelief as the vast majority of students in the gym fell unconscious immediately. An animatronic voice echoed out from the center of the metal sphere, which hung spinning in mid air.

"All individuals with a panic index greater than 7.5 have been neutralized until the situation has been rectified."

"Oh well that makes it okay then." Alex deadpanned to himself. "NOT! God, the entire school is gonna hate me by the end of the year." Alex re-positioned himself on the beam in a low crouch observing who was left standing in the gym. "Great, the troublesome ones." He muttered to himself. Spotting Manco about to pick a fight with a small girl, Alex huffed as he leveled his rifle on the situation, resolving to provide cover for his friend until he knew what the hell was going on.

[Horo]

Jena caught sight of the girl laying across the gym on the floor. Her acute eyes could see the dripping blood slowly pulling out of the wound. Grabbing Horo's arm, she wanted to hide from it, escape it, and forget it ever happened. The students around her began to scream with fear and with each of their voices her powers made the connection. Their emotions flowing uncontrollably into his mind and heart! Fear, worry, sorrow! Jena released Horo's arm and clutched her head in agony. "Please, please, please, please, please!" Horo spun around and help Jena onto the floor. Unknown to Jena"s powers, Horo quickly figured that the dead girl across the room"s assailant was a fault for this truma. "Don't worry Jena... I'll avenge her."

A flash of blue occurred that caused the students to fall to the floor. Horo smiled as she watched Jena's eyes close as he students fell. "You just sleep now. I will handle this." Horo stood up closed her eyes. She imagined the air molecules around her body, pulling them in close. It would take focus to hold up this small barrier, but for a clubmate Horo would do anything.

Her ears twitched as she heard River's movements. Fast, but not out of natural ability. Her movements were linear and forced in comparison to the way Horo moved.(<--- This is how Horo imagines it. Doesn't mean that it is the truth) Horo bolted forward, towards River. Her body was down low, giving her head a height of 3 feet from the ground. Her arms were chambered at her sides, ready to strike. A moment before she was within range to attack Horo fell into a roll until her shoulder blades were on the floor. She then sprang, adding to her velocity and pulled her legs together for a kick into River's side.

There was no plan for counter attack if this one didn't work, no fancy twist and re-attack if she missed. Horo's plan didn't need such sneaky tactics. Her thought were focused on vengeance for her friend and the fallen girl. Her attacks would occur from the hours of praticed movement, but not from any martial arts. Her style was being pulled straight from her body and what it knew how to do best.

Move.

[Rikka]

Bridgit spun as the gunshot rang out. OOOH, Whats that? Spotting Blair fall she blinked and stared as her head reeled a bit. The blood dripping from her teacher made her want to walk over and taste it. A giggle escaped her throat as she spotted River after her. Her eyes shifted around as River continued to get closer. In an instant her mind processed the attackers coming for her doll. Another giggle escaped her as River went to slit her throat. "Hello dolly!" Flipping backwards she landed gracefully on her heels kicking out with her dagger tipped heels as the girl attempted to trip her. Falling backwards she did a cartwheel away luring River away from the attacks of the others. When the girl went for a fake low attack Bridgit caught her eye and showed her the insanity in hers. "My turn dolly." Bridgit giggled and ended up with two daggers in her hands. Tossing one it went flying at Manco who was in her way. She wanted to play with her doll.

Rushing River she kicked out at her stomach before dropping her foot and swinging out her right hand which still had a dagger to slice the girl's arm. She followed up with a round house kick to Rivers head and pursued that with a fake punch toward her right side before actually attempting to stab her dolls leg with the dagger. Anyone who had known Bridgit or heard of her would know that her current behavior wasn't out of the norm but something was different. Her moves were more deadly and accurate that she normally fought with.

Mekura watched as the students began to stream out of the basketball courts and into the obstacle course that was for stealth and weapons classes. Pulling open screens that only she could see she flung her hands through the air as she locked doors and opened the doors to the K.A.K.U.Z.E.T.S.U. Once that was done she started shouting out orders. "Fang Get these students down into the underground facility. Alex see if--" Suddenly Alex activated a sphere and dropped it into the fleeing children. A good hundred and fifty of them dropped asleep on the floor. "GODDAMMIT ALEX! Do you know what you just did?!?!" Now Mekura was pissed. It took a lot to piss her off. Suddenly her whole aura changed giving her a cold calculating feeling. Calculating thing in her head by the millisecond she switched into assassin mode. "Stein! Get these students into the Kakuzetsu. If you don't know where it is follow Fang! Move!"

As the chaos continued to unfold in front of him, Fang sighed, thinking to himself Why does something like this always happen when I go someplace new? beginning to become a little angry. Fang looked around, noticing a female form lying in the floor unmoving. Thinking of the sound he heard before, he quickly said, “Come Vlad. We need to figure this out.” Vlad growled loudly, causing students near him to stop and move aside, finally able to reach Fang again. Vlad looked up at Fang, stopped growling, and said, “What is happening?” Fang moved into the room, slowly removing his dress shirt, revealing his deep red shirt, placing his dress shirt into his bag. “If needed, take my bag and stay close.” Hearing Mekura speak, to him, Fang nodded then replied , “ Will do.”

As the blue wave moved from the orb, Fang had enough time to think what now? before it moved through him. Around him, Fang noticed students were collapsing, finally hearing a voice echoing around the room. Well, students need to learn to control their emotions better he thought with a smirk as he looked around the room. As Fang gazed at the students left standing, a small girl with a gun, Mekura, and a girl in a pink dress stood out. Wonder why that little girl isn’t unconscious. As he watched what was occurring, Fang noticed everyone seemed focused upon the little girl, seeing a red-orange haired boy aiming his sword toward her. What the hell? What is wrong with them? She seems so … Wait. I need to get them out. As he thought about this, Fang became more annoyed, wishing he had something to throw at whoever knocked out the students. Hearing Mekura speak once more, Fang realized Stein was a little girl from the O’Shea farm. “ Vlad, keep an eye out, if needed you will help communicate. Eris, let’s get them out as fast as we can. Stay close.” Finishing his sentence, Fang quickly created a thin layer of ice to them to move students quicker. As he glanced one last time at Mekura, Fang began to push the unconscious students out of the building using the ice to guide him.
