[Kubo Cafeteria]

As Crona went nuts and unleashed a massive attack, tearing up the walls and floors, Connor decided this had gone on long enough. The boy had to do whatever he possible could… which meant accessing powers he could not fully control.

Connor had trained with his grandfather, but he had been forbidden from every using that training… so much so, that his grandfather had placed a charm on Connor, binding those powers and keeping him from accessing them except in a time of great emergency.

Even when fighting Kalyan, Connor had not thought to break that charm. He knew it was reserved for absolute, life-threatening emergencies… times when he had to protect that which mattered most to him.

Right now, if Crona was not stopped, Sarai might be killed. Connor could not let that happen.

“Sorry Grandpa…” Connor mumbled. He placed his wristguards together and mumbled something in an ancient, angelic language – suddenly light exploded from around Connor as the wristguards blasted off of him, transforming into tiny golden flecks in the air that whirled around him.

The flecks multiplied and attached, forming a suit of golden gladiator armor around Connor’s body. He also had a new sword – a powerful Gladius. He charged at Chrona, slashing and stabbing!

[Kubo Hallways]

Lina stopped as Eruka threatened to detonate a massive frog and kill everything in 100 meters.

She grinned.

“You stupid, pathetic, powerless FOOL!” Lina shouted at Eruka. “100 meters? How childish! How about I make YOU a demand… you can give up now, or I’ll unleash my DRAGON SLAVE and BRING THIS WHOLE SCHOOL TO RUBBLE!” Lina threatened.

She’d do it, too.

[The Killer Fish]

Nanami’s eyes widened as Lavan mentioned trouble at Kubo. She immediately stood up, pushing the plate away.

“Then we need to move. If something is wrong, we’ll fix it. Come on—“”

As she spoke, suddenly, Musashi FINALLY arrived as he ran into the hall.

“Sorry I’m late!” Musashi frowned.

“Come on,” Nanami grabbed his arm. “We’re going to Kubo. There’s trouble.”

-Remote Classroom-

“I'm too far out of your league, I'll tell you that,” Gallic said, fire still brimming around his form, as the witch attacked him, speeding forward.

Fire exploded from him at the same time she charged, creating a mini nova of flames, attempting to burn her in her own attack.

Of course, if she got through, Gallic wasn't worried...

-Kubo Cafeteria-

Paul never named his techniques. Sometimes, Edda would give them names, but Paul never bothered. He couldn't yell out the names in battle, and it would be silly to sign them out.

Crona's Screech Gamma shot forward, moving around the cafeteria.

Paul's hands glowed, his own energy shooting forward, copying the sound waves, changing their wavelength, countering the blasts, canceling them out!

If Paul could talk, he'd telling Connor to get Crona.

-Kubo Hallways-

Scott frowned, looking from Eruka to Lina, and back again.

Just what had he gotten into the middle of?

“Hey...can't we just...you know...not blow everything up? Isn't that kinda counterproductive?” Scott asked.



Lily frowned, a little worried about her father, but knowing Gallic could handle himself.

She was just worried he might have to reveal his true form...

“Who do we go to?” Lily frowned, “I know my dad can handle that witch...”

-Kubo Outside-

“So...I guess you're one of the people responsible for whatever's going on, eh?”

Cess grinned, appearing by Free, his sword in the ground, the tall dead human standing on the hilt idly.

“Care to explain, hmmm?”

-Le Maison De La Mort-

Jimi paused, then shook his head.

“No, Thaddius is Hammah's pet,” Jimi explained to Antoinette, “He's an...odd chicken...”

Thaddius fluttered unto Jimi's head, pecking at him.

Paul might not have been able to yell out to Connor, but as Connor watched the sound waves dissolve away, he got the message. He shot forward, flying at top speed and trying to drive his sword right into Crona!

[Kubo Hallways]

Lina narrowed her eyes at Eruka.

“Stay outta this Scotty! If this twit things I’m losing, she’s crazier than the chicks who date YOU! I’ll blow her and her stupid toads straight to hell!”

[Kubo Outside]

Cess wasn’t the only one watching Free.

Dante was too… but Dante kept his distance, for now.

[La Maison De La Mort]

Antoinette blinked.

“He has a pet… chicken?”

Free sighed, settling back down on the glowing arithmetic array.

"Already found out... This wasn't really part of Medusa's outlined plan, but I think she expected this to happen. You're that ghost kid of Kubo, right? C-something. Can't for the world remember your name, but you're pretty famous, and I heard you're pretty good."

He stretched, watching amusedly as green pulsing lines around the cube kept the dimensions completely separate.

"One of the people responsible, huh... Yeah, I suppose you could say that. Though really, should you be spending your time worrying about ME right now? The one who you REALLY should be worrying is the one who put this all together. The one under Kubo, a part that was just released from Shinigami-Sama's control."

He shrugged.

"... Say, you ever heard the legends? The stories? About Asura, the Demon God that was supposedly defeated by Shinigami-Sama? I wonder... Could that legend possibly have a connection..."

He shrugged.

"Eh, I have no idea what that chick's planning. All I need to do is survive for an hour or two. Should be easy, especially since-" His magical eye blinked, glowing again. "-I just distracted you enough to recharge my eye to use the same spell for the second time. Spatial Magic: Black Box"

A cube of black lines appeared around him immediately, separating him from the world.

"So, wanna stick around and chat? I've got a boring hour ahead of me, keeping that big green cube active. I'd love the company."

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

Kubo Hallways

Eruka blanched.

"Oi, oi, oi, wait a second, waitasecond!!! Are you really going to just blow everything up here and kill every single student in the academy? Don't you have a heart or any ability to reason whatsoever? Or are you one of those that really doesn't care for their comrades?"

She was backing away slowly, Jackson the Giant Tadpole mostly shielding her from view. She felt a feeling of magic wash over her, and smirked lightly.

Now, she only had to survive. THAT made her smirk turn sour.

"Come on, you're not seriously debating on firing anything so huge here, are you? You're supposed to be heroic! Save everyone in Kubo! Not kill them for one measly victory!"

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

Kubo Cafeteria

Crona was now in even more trouble. Facing off against an angelic gladiator and Paul who managed to somehow counter Crona's move, the pink-haired scaredy-cat was now basically playing a game of keep-away.

Jumping and dodging, Crona looked like s/he was about to burst into tears.

"Ragnarooook, they're fighting me and are living. I don't know what to dooooo! How do I deal with this? I don't know how to deal with this!"

Ragnarok, for once silent, was just focused on moving the Black Blood within the boy/girl fast enough to make the sword arm block the multitude of strikes incoming from all directions. They were being hard-pressed...

Crona failed to dodge another strike as the angelic gladius Connor used bit into the boy/girl's skin... And sank deeper than anything before, negating the Black Blood and causing a deep wound. Crona screamed in pain and jumped away, moving SO much faster that s/he was almost a blur, ending up on the other side of the room, cradling an arm and looking tearful.

"He.. Hurt me... The Black Blood... It's defense... It... Didn't work?"

Crona watched as the wound oozed real blood before Black Blood replaced it and knitted the wound together. Nevertheless, the anorexic fighter was shaken.

"He... Hurt me... He can hurt me... I... I DON'T WANNA BE HURT!!! GRAND DISSONATING WAIL!!!"

Yet again, a screech pierced the air around the boy/girl, sending objects flying, sending other students to the ground, cracking walls, damaging objects and washing over the group that fought Crona, turning the magic of Connor's armor upon itself, dissolving the large armored form made of paint and sending magic haywire.

"IDONWANNADIEHERE!!! GET AWAY! SCREECH BETA!!! SCREECH BETA!!! SCREECH ALPHA!!!"

Wave after wave of sonic attacks came, born of complete desperation, creating a volley of energy that even some of the instructors would have a hard time keeping up with power-drain-wise.

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

Kubo Hallways

Ras ran ahead, still holding Lily's hand tightly as his twitching completely stopped. It's as if he was never affected by anything in the first place. Running down the hall and down a flight of stairs, he skidded to a halt in horror as he came upon the same hallway that Eruka fought Lina in the very first time they met...

"By god and goddess, who could have done something like this..."

Ras skimmed his eyes over the destruction, before his gaze was turned to a green glow coming from an opening in the wall. Running there, he peeked outside... And stopped.

"What the... What kind of barrier... Is that..."

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

Remote Classroom

Mizune proved to be ridiculously maneuverable as she dodged the incoming blast wave, bouncing in between several tables to use them as a shield before again closing in to melee, slashing repeatedly with those energy claws before bouncing away again.

The witch revealed that she had a tail aiding her in balance, said tail grabbing onto things around her to give her far more traction in areas that should be less than maneuverable. This, in addition to a small magic flare from every footstep showed that she was no amateur...

Though Gallic was right. She was no match for him, one way or another. No, now she was just set on surviving long enough for the Independent Cube to fall.

Then, she'd book it. As per plan.

"Fire? Interesting power. Shall I... Take it from you?"

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

Outside the Killer Fish

Running out of the restaurant, Lavan immediately headed for one of the main roads. Dashing by some bystanders, he shot onto the main street, turned towards Kubo and stopped.

"... A barrier. No wonder. But that's not Shinigami-Sama's work, that looks like... Like... Ohhhh crap."

He turned to look at his companions that doubtlessly followed him.

"Nanami, remember the lessons on witches? Didn't one witch make herself famous by overpowered dimensional magic?"

“Heroic? Naw, that’s this dumb friend of mine. I’m not the heroic type… and I HATE to lose a fight… so now as far as I’m concerned, you have two options toady lady. You can surrender now… or you can get blown the hell up!”

Lina growled, pointing a finger at Eruka. “NOW WHAT’LL IT BE?”

[Kubo Cafeteria]

Connor fell to the ground, clutching his ears as Crona let loose several sonic screams. However, Connor’s armor did not turn against itself. It stayed in place, unaffected by Crona’s attempts to turn the magic against him.

Though Connor could not control it as well as his grandfather, the armor itself was special – it could withstand a lot of things, and it was made to be a grand defense. He couldn’t maintain for long, though – his energy was weakening!

“Raaaaah!” Connor jumped at Crona, trying for another major slash!

[Outside the Killer Fish]

“A famous witch?” Nanami nodded. She remembered something about that. “Mabaa? Is that the one you mean?”

Contrary to popular belief, Crona's sonic attacks were far from perfect. They destroyed anything physical and turned magic upon itself... But extremely powerful artifacts, such as Connor's current angelic armor and ESPECIALLY items that were so legendary that their images were imprinted onto the fabric of the world itself, were completely unaffected.

Crona was NOT expecting to see one such item here. But there it was, nevertheless, the ultimate enemy against someone like the pink-haired demon-blade user. The perfect good, the antithesis to Black Blood, angelic powers that cut through him and prevented even the strongest forms of attack from Crona...

The androgynous fighter was losing and s/he knew it.

Nevertheless, Crona decided to fight. If the screeches weren't working, then they would be used as a backup against all the others. Time to rely on Ragnarok more.

Cutting his/her own wrist open, Crona then slashed out with the damaged arm towards the incoming Connor. The Black Blood solidified into an actual blade and propelled itself at the boy!

S/he hoped Medusa was on her way...

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

Under Kubo

A massive explosion set off a deep rumble through the ground, completely unaffecting the dimension-locked Academy, but sending a rumbling through the outside around the building. As the dust settled after the explosion, Medusa finally found herself in a massive, underground archway.

The Shibusen Arch. An ancient gateway under Kubo built beneath the foundation of the Reaper's school. It was a catacomb. A long, trap-filled catacomb that led to two passages, one over the other. The topmost passage led to Shinigami-Sama's private collection of artifacts. That was her main goal.

But her secondary goal had to be accomplished first. The lower passage, which led to a tomb that was locked with the core of Shinigami-Sama's soul. With the core now disconnected from the interfering deity's conscious mind, Medusa could bypass the protections...

And release the monster that Shinigami-Sama sealed... And almost sacrificed his life for...

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

Outside the Killer Fish

Lavan nodded.

"That's the name, yeah. That looks like Mabaa's spatial magic, the projections we saw during that lesson match the currents here... But what's Mabaa doing attacking Kubo? I remember reading that we were at a standoff, that the Witches weren't attacking because we weren't actively seeking them out..."

Lavan's frown deepened.

"I have no idea what's going on. Come on, let's check it closer!"

He paused for a second, before a grin spread out over his face.

"Maybe we'll even get to fight someone awesome! Whoever that is over there HAS to be strong to create a full spatial barrier like that! Heeheeeee! Strong opponent, here I COME!!!"

And Lavan was off, skating along trails of fire, kicking up wind in his wake.

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

Kubo Hallways

Eruka was now sweating buckets. That girl, Lina...

She was just as evil as Medusa! Uncaring about her own compatriots! Was she really backed into such a corner? Or was she bluffing and did Eruka really want to call her on that?

... She had to try.

"... You're bluffing. You have friends here in the academy. Innocent lives. People who have nothing to do with what we're doing here. Your attack would eradicate them. Kubo is famous for goody-two-shoes reapers. You won't dare to do something like that."

Now, she just hoped that being stubborn wasn't going to get her killed...

Connor was winning and he knew it. The boy had been confident and strong and right now his attacks were penetrating Crona’s defenses. It looked like a few more strikes of his sword and he would be able to take this creepy he/she down!

But then, Crona created a massive blade of black blood and sent it flying at Connor. The boy projected his shield, but it was too late – the sword flew too fast and got an opening, striking Connor in the shoulder.

His blood shot out and Connor screamed in pain, collapsing to the ground and clutching his shoulder. He groaned and gritted his teeth. For the first time in his life, Connor was in a real life or death battle… and right now it looked like he might lose.

But… if he died here, then Sarai would probably die… maybe Rumi too… he couldn’t allow his friends to die! He couldn’t fail them! Connor forced himself back to his feet, grunting in pain and clenching his hand over his wound.

“I… will… NOT… let you hurt them!” Connor shouted, and his sword suddenly blazed to life as white flames sprouted from the handle and illuminated the entire room, bathing light in every direction.

Weak, tired and bleeding Connor charged once more, with his flaming light sword, and tried for one last strike. It was all he had strength for…

[Outside the Killer Fish]

“Lavan, WAIT!” Nanami shouted as she chased after her boyfriend. “Mabaa is supposed to have powers comparable with Shinigami-sama himself! We’re good, Lavan, but we’re not THAT good. Shinigami-sama is the strongest being in all of Makai – and if Mabaa can stand against him…”

Nanami was never one to run from a fight, even a fight she knew she would probably lose – but she also wasn’t one to just charge in blindly without a GOOD plan.

“Lavan, if this is Mabaa, we need to call in support.”

[Kubo Hallways]

Lina grinned like a maniac, and her hand started to glow with a strange and POWERFUL energy. The very vibrations of the energy in the air could make people shiver.

“Yeah, I have friends here… yeah, there’s innocent lives… but hey, you’re running around with bombs, blowing up the school… if I don’t stop you, you’ll just kill them anyway! If my friends HAVE to die, then they may as well die by my hand, right?”

Cess paused, then hopped off of his sword, taking it out of the ground, swinging it around.

Then poked the cube with his sword idly.

“I think you know more then you're letting on...” Cess said, “Even if you don't realize it...also.”

He grinned, grabbing his sword with both hands, focusing.

“My sword is capable of slicing molecules, if I sharpen it enough,” Cess told Free, energy beginning to glow around him, “Let's see if I can't slice through your barrier...”

Of course, it was very, very dangerous for Cess to make his sword that sharp...

-Kubo Hallways-

Scott was trying to move around, and get behind Eruka, while she and Lina were arguing about blowing up everyone and everything.

He wished he had a Star with him...



“I don't know...” Lily said, then frowned.

Her bow appeared, and she fired an arrow of light, the arrow disappating against the barrier, useless against it.

“How do we get out of here?”

-Remote Classroom-

Gallic was slashed repeatedly, but he only smiled, as he yet again regenerated from his wounds, as did his suit.

“You really don't understand what I am, do you?” Gallic said, shaking his head, “Fine...I'll give you a sneak peak, before I kill you...”

Gallic took a stance, focusing as his back began to shiver, his flesh rippling under his suit.

The back of the suit began to rip, as wings shot from them, long and scaled, like the wings of a dragon. The leathery expense that would normally accompany it was not there, instead filled with golden feathers.

His arms rippled now, his nails growing out slightly, beginning to resemble claws, the beginnings of scales and proto-feathers appearing around his body, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly.

“This should be enough...” Gallic scowled, glaring at Mizune.

He then shot forward, using his telekinesis on himself to increase his own speed, intending to slash the witch, using his claws to deliver a deadly poison...

-Kubo Cafeteria-

Paul scowled, his own magic beginning to bend in on itself, forming closely around the Shinigami.

He then held up his hands, focusing harder, knowing he had to help Connor before it was too late.

The ground began to rupture around Crona, attempting to grab the boy/girl and keep him from moving, so Connor could land a hit!

Of course, Paul was ready for more if he needed to...

Eruka put her hands up, shaking them quickly.

"Wait wait wait wait wait! I wasn't here to actually officially KILL anyone. Sure, if someone got in the way, I'd probably off them, but that's what I was ordered to do! Otherwise, I am just here to give you all enough pause so the barrier could come up."

She shrugged.

"And now that the barrier is up, I just have to wait it out. You don't really understand what's going on... But don't start throwing explosions larger than what I've been doing quite yet!"

She was REALLY running out of options here. And was Lina REALLY going to blow away even her allies? Why did Eruka have to meet the psycho student???

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

Outside the Killer Fish

Lavan grinned wildly.

"But that's just it! Mabaa shouldn't BE here. Kubo has a pact of non-aggression with the Witch's Coven, and we only start going at each other's throats when one or the other steps out of line. If Mabaa IS there, then someone has to put a stop to it."

He gritted his teeth, eyes glowing red as he consolidated his power.

"And if she is NOT there... SOMEONE ELSE was capable of that level of spatial magic. There is only one person that could ha-... Oh. OH! HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!"

FINALLY, Lavan got it. He picked up the pace then.

"Nanami, it's not Mabaa. Remember the prisoner from the prison under Lavender Town? The Asylum for the worst of the worst? Well, remember the prisoners in the deepest cells. The Man of the Demon Eye. The man who stole one of Mabaa's eyes. It HAS to be him! And if that's the case, he's working with the very people that got him out..."

He stopped running, suddenly, thinking quickly as several scenarios began to play out in his head.

"But that can't be possible,... There was too much insider information. Someone... Someone either had an ally in Kubo or was BASED in Kubo to even know the distraction caused in Lavender Town would open the Asylum doors... Nanami..."

A sudden, horrific thought struck him.

"... Could it be that someone in KUBO is doing this?"

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

Kubo Cafeteria

The black form on Crona's back dissolved as Connor made another charge, slashing across Crona's front side and sending black blood flying in an arc. The pink-haired attacker chocked back a cry of pain and jumped, the black form on his/her back replaced by a pair of long, thin wings made of Black Blood that took Crona into the air.

That wasn't the end of it though.

"Bloody Needle!"

The black blood spattered across the ground and tables and chairs from Crona's numerous cuts detached itself from the surfaces, formed itself into hundreds of small needles... And all converged in on Connor, the biggest threat of the group!

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

Remote Classroom

Mizune proved herself to be as fast as she seemed, and the result was a high-speed set of clashes of energy blades versus venomous claws, Mizune not gaining any advantage at all due to her speed.

And she was physically much weaker than Gallic.

The mouse-witch didn't want to die here though. This opponent was strong, much stronger than she anticipated. Maybe even stronger than her. Too bad Gallic couldn't have been matched against Eruka... Eruka is always better against opponents who are obscenely stronger than her with that Arithmetic Magic of hers.

Mizune was far from helpless however. Time to kick things up a notch.

As she was about to be slashed, the blow LANDED, cutting Mizune in two... And the two forms split apart, turned into smaller versions of the girl and began an attack in tandem, the speed increasing even further due to the girl's now-smaller size.

It seemed that she wasn't affected by the poison: She split herself the moment the attack landed, preventing the claws from ever touching her.

Too bad her clothing didn't have the same advantage...

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

Kubo Hallways

Ras himself attempted a pair of spells... And paused.

He tried to cast a spell again... And again failed. Eyes widening, he attempted another, with the same result.

The spatial barrier completely isolated this dimension of space. By doing so, the isolation cut off all external connections... Which included Rasher's connection to the Devil Core, which provided his immense magical power.

Rasher was now just a very good melee combatant, with no way to use any magic whatsoever.

"Ok, that's not good... Lily, you'll have to do more than I thought you'd have to..."

He looked extremely perturbed as he watched his hand, almost blankly.

"I... Can't access my magic, so you'll have to do most of the casting. Would that be okay with you?"

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

Outside Kubo

Free sighed again, sitting down.

"Oi, oi. Do you really want to do that? Especially with the ground shaking so much?"

And indeed a tremor his the ground underneath them, a rumbling that came from deep under Kubo. Free looked amused, grinning suddenly.

"Looks like she's well on her way. Do you REALLY have the time to be worrying about me?"

Lina’s smirk grew and grew until she was showing off every tooth, a massive grin that was the combination of partial insanity and the fact that her threats were working. Eruka had just let slip some valuable information.

Now Lina wanted more.

“You know, you’re right, I don’t understand what’s going on… so how about you tell me all the nasty little details?” Lina asked, grinning like a maniac.

[Outside the Killer Fish]

Nanami paused in her tracks as Lavan unraveled what could possibly be one of the largest conspiracies in the world. An escaped prisoner from the asylum… someone using Mabaa’s eye… and an assault on Kubo.

“We have to do something.” Musashi spoke up. He had been listening the entire time, and growing all the more worried. “Listen, we HAVE to stop this. We need to move fast and act right now! If it is someone inside the school…”

[Kubo Cafeteria]

Connor gasped. His attack had done some damage, but now he had thousands of small needles flying his way. There was nothing he could do to block them all, and with his wound…

He looked for his voice, to scream out, to tell Sarai to run and that he loved her, but suddenly his scream was drowned out by the sound of fire burning black blood in mid-air!

Aderu had struck, sending walls of flames to surround Connor on every side and burn away the needles.

“You. The freak with the nasty blood.” Aderu called, stepping forward. “Why don’t you try stabbing me?”

Crona paused. Aderu just shouted at him, telling him to stab him! Was he crazy? He was unlike anything Crona faced before, no enemy ASKED to be attacked and damaged...

Crona didn't know how to deal with this either, so s/he simply backed away.

"Hey, Ragnarok, you hear me? He asked to stab him... I don't know how to deal with thiiiiis..."

There was a moment of silence, before the other voice cut through the air like a knife.

"That's IT! I've HAD it with you, you stupid wimp! How do you deal with it? You KILL them! What do you do? You STAB them until they STOP BLEEDING. And then you stab them some more for good measure! I've had ENOUGH of your whining! MY TURN!"

And Crona screamed. Screamed and screamed and screamed as Black Blood came pouring from the boy/girl's eyelids and ears, covering his/her sight...

And then, the scream cut off abruptly. Crona stilled, like a statue...

And then Aderu found himself looking into blank-white, pupil-less eyes of Crona, the blade already stabbed THROUGH his foot, punning it to the ground.

"THIS is how you do this, Crona! THIS is how you deal with it!!!"

Mercilessly, Crona smashed the thin, frail-looking fist into the guy's face, the strength enough to match a sledgehammer impact. Ripping the blade free, Crona then attempted to cut Aderu in half right there, movements much less fluid and much more sudden and jerky as Ragnarok, now in control, decided he had enough.

This fight just got even tougher...

"Geco..."

It sounded more like a hiccup than anything else. Like an "oops, I did something I shouldn't have". Eruka looked extremely frightened as both her hands flew to her mouth and she realized what she just revealed.

Oh, Medusa would be so furious...

"I... Can't. I can't tell you anything. At all. I'll die if I do... Or worse!"

It would probably be worse. Medusa would probably use her as a body for one of her toys, a mindless puppet which she would use to commit horrible atrocities with... Or something even worse, maybe she'd get her soul completely taken over, and be damned for all eternity...

Road to Kubo

Lavan smirked, nodding eagerly.

"EXACTLY my point, Musashi. Come on, let's go see what this is all about!"

And again, he was off, skating on fire like a maniac, coming closer and closer to Kubo...

The final turn in the road revealed the magnificent outer gates of the academy. Beyond, the academy grounds were empty of students, and led up to the green-box-covered building. No one else was around as Lavan carefully stepped onto the grounds, watching around him.

"... Hey, Nanami, you're a better sensor than I am. Can you tell if anyone else is around?"

Aderu was stabbed… in the foot, and then punched in the face and knocked into the air. After another moment, it looked like Crona was going to slice him in half – but as the blade came towards Aderu’s body, massive flames shot out from the sides, blocking the blade and allowing Aderu to land – rather ungracefully – several feet away.

“GAH DAMN IT YOU FREAKIN’ PUNK!” Aderu growled, looking down at his bloody foot. “I object! Getting cut up ain’t my style!”

He growled. Luckily, the blood had stopped – having flames all over his body made it easy to close a wound.

Connor, meanwhile, was preparing something.

[Kubo Hallways]

Lina’s grin suddenly changed into a pout – and then an angry growl. She jumped forward, her hands still glowing with magic.

“Listen here you little toady! I’m getting impatient… you’re afraid of what happens if you tell me? You should be thinking about what happens if you DON’T! How about I freeze all your internal organs, but boil your blood AT THE SAME TIME! It won’t kill you… maybe… or it will, I don’t know, but it’ll hurt like hell!”

[Road to Kubo]

Nanami and Musashi followed Lavan, both on guard. Nanami was having a silent conversation with Seiryuu the entire time, pleading with the dragon to help her if it came to that.

“I do sense things… some presence, but its masked, behind the barrier… or another barrier… seems familiar, but I can’t place it… and…”

She paused. She felt an INCREDIBLE amount of power. Something on a level beyond anything she was used to feeling at Kubo.

“… Someone STRONG is nearby.”

With Aderu preoccupied with taking care of his bleeding foot (not that he could do more, since Aderu was now surrounded by fire), Crona/Ragnarok moved on to the next target, targeting Paul up close and personal in melee. The swordsman/woman struck with a massive lunge first, easily evaded, but followed it up with a cross slash in one jerky, sudden movement that traced a shallow X-shape on Paul's side.

This was followed up by a kick that Ragnarok attempted to land!

"THIS is how you do it, Crona! THIS is how you KILL someone!"

The strikes were getting ever more vicious and pronounced... And ever more predictable. Unfortunately, Ragnarok was not experienced in bladework It was just stronger and faster than Crona, and most of its moves were telegraphed.

But against Paul, who was more a mage than a melee person...

Paul was probably in trouble.

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

Kubo Grounds

Lavan raised his head, closing his eyes, and nodded.

"... Not one. Two. That one that's unknown is still standing around and waiting... The other is approaching. Fast."

And a second later, a rumble was felt through the ground again as a very familiar man faded out of mid-air in front of Lavan, Musashi and Nanami.

A while ago, way before the entire plan began, Franken Stein got the suspicion that something was going to go down in Kubo, so he retreated to his lab outside of Kubo to check on his monitors. The moment he did, he saw that the academy was completely locked down, and made haste back.

And this is where we find him approaching the group.

"Good grief, looks like someone actually made it out before the place locked down. Hello, Lavan, Nanami, Musashi. It's good to see at least some of the students are still available."

He put his hand into his pocket, pulling out a box of cigarettes, lit one, and threw the empty box over his shoulder.

"We have a problem. A big one. Kubo was attacked, and I believe I know who the culprit is... And what she's after."

Lavan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And why didn;t you inform anyone, professor?"

Stein shrugged. "I had no proof. I informed Shinigami-Sama, but he brushed aside my concerns. It is only recently that I have figured out who our local nurse, Medusa, really is. Medusa Gorgon, one of the three Gorgon Sisters, is one of the most powerful Witches of the Coven, and she had blatantly infiltrated Kubo... And until recently, I didn't know why."

THAT made Lavan start. "Wait, Medusa's a witch? So this really IS Mabaa's work?"

Stein shook his head. "No. Medusa is acting on her own with her minions. Mabaa has nothing to do with this plan. If she did, i'd question whatever remained of her sanity... Because what Medusa is trying to accomplish is release Asura."

Lavan blinked, before his eyes widened.

"... Asura? THAT Asura? Asura the Demon God? I thought he was defeated! Gone! We're out here PREVENTING another Asura from happening by destroying evil souls!"

Stein shook his head, grimly looking up at Kubo.

"No. That is what you have been taught, but it is misinformation. In reality, Asura could not be killed. He became as strong as Shinigami-Sama, and the Death God could only seal him-..."

Lavan continued, in a quiet, almost horrified voice. "-Somewhere in Kubo... Then we have been living beside the Demon God all this time? And what is Medusa-sensei trying to accomplish??? Releasing Asura... That's madness!"

Stein nodded. "It is. And it's not her primary plan. It's another diversion, a second bluff. She will try to release Asura, and when we are dealing with a Demon God, she is going to go for her REAL plan, of which I am unaware of yet..."

Lavan shuddered. "Asura... The God of Madness... If she frees that thing, it will throw the entirety of Makai into insanity!"

Stein finished his cigarette with a deep inhale, and threw the butt of the cigarette away. "Which is why I am here to ask you for help. We need to stop her. At all costs."

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

Eruka shouted right back.

"Better than having my Soul completely destroyed or corrupted! I don't... I don't much care if I die here, really. It would be preferable to the alternative. Preferable to forever serving that WITCH... That MONSTER that is behind all this..."

She shuddered again, looking deeply disturbed and almost on the verge of tears, but somehow held herself together, gathering whatever courage she had left.

"If I survive this, she promised... She promised I would be free. And that is worth ANYTHING. ANYTHING else at all."

Lina paused, listening as Eruka spoke. It sounded like she was being forced to do these things… someone was manipulating her from behind the scenes… probably the same someone she was covering for.

“… So what you want is freedom?” Lina asked, her voice suddenly a lot quieter and the deranged quality toned down quite a bit. “Hah, boy are you dumb! You’re going about this the wrong way. Whoever this WITCH is, she’s NEVER going to let you go. As long as you depend on her, she’s going to keep making you work and never set you free.”

Lina paused, suddenly offering a far friendlier look on her face. “… If you truly want to be free, the only chance you have is to DESTROY whoever it is whose controlling you. Maybe I can’t help with THAT, but if you help us stop what’s happening, I’m sure Shinigami-sama would help you. He’s only the strongest guy in all of Makai! One of the strongest beings in existence! And if your boss could compare to him, she would have struck a long time ago. The fact Shini’ ain’t around means he’s probably MIA somehow.”

Lina suddenly extended her hand. “Look toady… I can kill ya if I have to. I won’t shed any tears. But if you want some help, I can do that too – but first you gotta help me!”

[Kubo Grounds]

Nanami and Musashi both looked up to Stein as he arrived, and explained that it was most likely Medusa the nurse who was behind the evil plans happening this day. Musashi frowned, and Nanami’s eyes narrowed.

“So what you’re saying is, if we don’t stop Medusa, she’ll unleash an nearly unstoppable enemy and that’s only PART of her plan?” Nanami raised an eyebrow. “In that case… Stein, can you get us into the school? I’ll be happy to shank Medusa in the face and dump her corpse on the front lawn.”

Nanami can be scary.

Eruka sighed, looking dejected.

"If only it was all so clear, magician. You don't get it. Sure, the one who's got my life and soul in the palm of her hand isn't as powerful as Shinigami-sama..."

She winced.

"... But she is about to release someone who IS. And work with him, as far as I know. And when that happens, Shinigami-sama will be too preoccupied to help you, me, anyone really."

She laughed, a rather empty chuckle.

"She's got me by everything. If I do anything against her, my soul is hers for eternity. If I didn't my soul is hers for eternity. Damned if I do... Damned if I don't This is my ONLY chance. The only chance is the one that she gives me, and I know it far too well. Your Shinigami-Sama..."

Again, a chuckle, this one dark.

"Where is your Shinigami-Sama? Your school is getting destroyed in front of your eyes. The monster under it is about to awaken. Students are probably dying to Mizune and Crona by now. Free has us all under permanent and impenetrable blockade. Where is your gracious, omnipotent Shinigami-Sama now, HUH?"

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

Kubo Grounds

Stein chuckled.

"Good, you're already getting hyped up about this. But it's not into the school that we need to go. It's UNDER the school that we will go, to the old, old ruin known as the Shibusen Arch."

He clapped both his hands and then put them both to the ground... But then paused. "There is another here, another student who might be able to help us. He's behind the corner of the school, conversing with... Someone who seems to be controlling and keeping up these two barriers."

Lavan grinned.

"Alright then! Let's go take him down! With that, the barrier will, fall, and we can get more help! Besides, I want a good fight!"

And again, Lavan was off, rows of fire following him as Stein simply shook his head, chuckling. "The fires of the young... Aaaaah, good times..."

He also followed Lavan a second later.


Lavan appeared right beside Cess as Cess was gathering power to make his sword much sharper than t usually is. He immediately spotted the barrier, and threw a hand out, flame bursting out from under his palm immediately, blazing into a full fireball that impacted the shield, HARD...

And didn't even leave a ripple.

Free blinked a few times behind the barrier.

"Oh? Another one? Sheesh, she miscalculated. Too many students remained outside of the Cube. Goddamit. S***. Great, she's gonna be on my case about this. Oi! You! Newbies! Care to stick around and watch the fireworks?"
