Lerion couldn't help feeling he had done something stupid as he watched water swirl around the woman and her shout angrily at them all about her murderous intent. He looked around apologetically. "Guess I did something stupid...my bad." He thought about using his true form to fight but then he remembered one of the rules he had heard about was not to show other students his real form...Huh...guess I have to rely on my fists and my wimpy TK unless things get really bad.

After another moment of being in a defensive stance and not knowing how to contribute he noticed one of the other students had a bow...that could work. He sidled up next to the guy and addressed him. "Hey, I think I know of a way we could work well together, either lend me the bow or let me know when you're gonna fire it and I can make the arrows hit way harder."

Christian Davidson

Chris found himself using his agility, pushing him almost to his limits, as he tried to dodge the needles and blades that came his way. A few did manage to land, however, but didn't slow him down too much. He fought through the pain as he kept moving around and soon spotted an opening. He rushed forward as he kept maneuvering himself past the raining onslaught of damaging water projectiles as he managed to get close to the mermaid. Unsheathing his claws, he lunged forward as he swiped at her face. He hoped that he'd connect, so the water would at least be paused long enough for the others to collect themselves and come up with an attack of their own.

Chris continued with his momentum from the swipe and ducked down a little, lashing out another side kick straight to her abdomen. Whether that attack failed or not, he'd remain crouched down, ready to spring to the side at any time, in case she started another volley of water. He soon locked eyes with the one who was engaging them all. No words were wasted, but the look in his eyes was unmistakable: He would engage until either him or her fell...and he was determined to stay alive!

It was at that moment that the cuts on his arms and a couple of puncture wounds in his shouders were starting to fester. He ignored it as he waited...and waited...

Allister Curtis

There was darkness everywhere bar for two lights at either side of Allister.
What is this? He turned right stepping into the light and emerging into a clean, refined -looking hallway with familiar artwork on the walls. Allister was in one of the hallways of his home back in the human world. With a feeling of unexplained sense of purpose he headed down the hall towards the large study his parents shared for their work. Muffled voices were coming from behind the door.
What are they saying?

Allister strained to hear what was being said for reasons he couldn't understand and then his vision was suddenly a blurry haze of black and grey. All he could hear was a single word before everything fell completely black once more
"Rakasha", and then all of a sudden he was awake.

Allister awoke with a start to find himself lying in a bed in a white room resembling a hospital. His body ached furiously and his head felt as though it had been marched upon by an entire platoon of soldiers. His body was covered in bruises and felt heavy. He felt hot but shivers shook his sweat coated body at irregular intervals. It took the young mage several moments to get his bearings, although he couldn't sit up no matter how hard he tried.
The infirmary... someone must have seen that spell after all, I wish I knew if it had hit or not. Allister glanced around the room with his eyes, he was struggling to move his head as well. At either side of the bed he occupied stood Cheryl, who had obviously been crying, and Gavin - who for some reason wore an expression much more akin to that which usually occupied Yorick's face.
"Cheryl? Gavin?" he managed to croak out, his voice hoarse "Fairytale are here. Something needs to be done and quick!"

He tried to push himself up but was unable to move more than a few inches upwards, he was lucky to be alive he knew - but he wanted to be out of the bed and fighting fairytale again - or at least to be able to move decently.

Before Lerion could get an answer out of the guy with the bow the woman, who was now obviously a mermaid really began to go bat**** crazy and he was forced to dodge an entire volley of aquatic needles. "Man...is every creature humans tell stories about real? Maybe I should have never come h-woah!" He did a very limbo-esque pose to avoid an uppercut needle which easily separated the cells of his flesh from each other where it did touch him. The young Lycan bared his fangs and felt his fur growing back and his body enlarging and stretching until a thought stopped him. I'm not supposed to transform...that headmaster doesn't seem quite right, what if he decides to expel me even if I was helping out the school for breaking the rules? He felt himself quickly shrink back down to his still-quite-large human form. I guess I'll have to save it for a last resort, besides I'm not helpless in this shape.

He REALLY didn't want to start off his first day at a new school fighting, his adopted parents used to give one of his brothers such a hard time for it...but he wasn't just going to watch people get hurt in front of him by some psycho. After a few moments of contemplating Lerion decided on a course of action, he could make up for his weak telekinetic abilities by using them more in a more supplementary manner. He crouched and gathered as much energy as he could in his legs for a powerful leap, and right at the moment his feet pushed off the ground so did his mind, propelling him at the Mermaid with impressive velocity. As Lerion drew near the Mermaid he swirled a small amount of telekinetic force around his right hand and made it gain momentum until it was as if his fist was surrounded by a tiny tornado and then he slammed his fist overhead towards the woman. He used both his forward momentum and the rebound of his punch to push himself above the Mermaid and then flipped over front-ways for an axe-kick, sending energy out from his toes to propel his heel down faster. Lerion hoped someone else would attack her at the same time as him, his kick would hit very hard but if she dodged it he'd be hard-pressed to stop himself.

Terra Ignis

Anger was starting to rise in Terra as he was called Gavin repeatedly. He clenched his fists, and eventually shot up from his seat and barked, "I'm not Gavin, okay!? I'm Terra! TERRA!" He scanned over the two. "I don't even know what I'm doing here. I'm not a youkai, I'm a-" Terra winced and stopped immediately. He had nothing to say next because he didn't know the truth. He wasn't sure if he was human, and he wasn't sure what type of youkai he was. All that he knew about himself was his name, and that he supposedly looked like some guy named Kion Gavin.

Terra clenched his jaw and looked at the ground. "Wh-what am I...?" He stayed in that same position for a few moments before finding a mirror and looking into it. He touched and stretched his face, raised his arms to the mirror, took a step back to see more of himself, and then stared into the redness of his eyes. "...Who am I?" He turned back to the others and said, "I only know Terra Ignis...that's the only thing I'm sure of in this world...the only thing I know about me, but...is this body mine? It's the first time I've seen it...and I don't know any other appearance that I've taken." Terra grabbed his hair and started shaking his head left and right, until finally, he dropped his hands. "...I need to get some air."

As Terra exited the building from a different exit, he noticed quite a lot of commotion. Specifically, a Mermaid being attacked by several people. That's how Terra saw it, at least. He didn't question the fact that the mermaid was...well...a mermaid, as it WAS a Youkai Academy. He couldn't stop all of them, but he knew he could at least ease the assault. One blonde haired boy seemed to be launching a flurry a physical attacks on her, and he wasn't sure how combat able she was. He ran towards her and said, "C'mon 80s anime, don't fail me now." He focused Spirit Energy in his left fist and said, "Hikousen!" His fist lunged forward, muscled tensed, and blue beam of energy shot out in the blond haired boy's direction, and Terra took point in front of the mermaid. "What in Hell is going on here?" He scanned the battlefield. It didn't seem to be much of a fair fight and it certainly wasn't in favor of the mermaid. "I don't particularly know what's going on here, but I'm going to even out the odds.

No time, none, not even time to contemplate what he would do when his attack was done, mid drop Lerion felt all his hair stand up and his ears twitch and go to attention. When he turned his head he saw a bright blue light heading his way. What the fuh-did the psycho mermaid brin some anti-air laser defense system? Thank goodness I'm not as helpless in the air as some other races might be. Lerion tried to push himself out of the way of the beam but he already had a lot of downward inertia and he was hard pressed to move much. He protected his heart but after only moments more of aerial struggle the Lycan felt as if a brick had hit him in the ribs at near super-sonic speeds and he was launched further off course.

A little bit of TK course-correction and a bit of luck stopped Lerion from hitting the ground too hard or landing on his head, but the impact could still only be described as a crash. What soon lifted itself up from the ground clutching it's chest had forgotten about the mermaid in an almost feral rage, directed solely at the underhanded pile of jerk that had sucker punched him right out of the air. Lerion bared his fangs once again and his pupils dilated as drew closer to the otehr boy, still holding his left ribs. "What the hell was that for? Is the first thing you do at a new school shoot lasers at you're fellow students? Didn't you notice that we're wearing uniforms and she's not?"

Takumi, Nami, Frio, Elise, and Solo
Frio laid there unable to move, watching his failure to hold Solo. Though he was happy to see that Elise had moved slightly, he knew she would be awake soon, and was glad at the thought. He could feel himself slowly losing consciousness, but he remained awake purely off of his own willpower.
Tak's main target was Solo, no one else. Everyone else was in danger because of him...no, because of Fairytale. It was that collar strapped around Solo's neck. That punch Tak gave earlier was nothing but personal. He stood there staring at Solo. Whatever move Solo would throw out next, Tak wouldn't need to prepare for it.
Solo focused on Takumi and continued to blast him away, along with Frio, Nami and the girl with Frio. Solo wanted to tell them what was wrong but his mouth kept shut. Whoever was controlling him obviously didn't want him to make a single noise. Solo ran towards Takumi and punched him with extra strength thanks to his telekinesis.
The blast separated Frio from Elise, throwing them several yards away from each other. He couldn't even bring himself to crawl to her and see if she was okay. Solo was winning this fight, and he was unable to do anything. Even the ice that suppressed his burn had melted and left him with a pain on his shoulder. This pain incidentally is what kept him from passing out, yet the only senses that worked were his hearing and sight, everything else was too much work.

Elise felt a sudden, blunt pain, as she was thrown and awaken. At first she felt a pain on her stomach, though that was because of the force of the blast. Yet she noticed there were no burns. Elise looked around, there was a lot of damage done, but when her eyes drifted to Frio, she ran to him immediately. "Frio!" She yelled, "Are you okay?" She began to tear up, as Frio could not speak, and didn't move a muscle. To her, he looked dead. Elise felt light headed and passed out in shock.
Her body stood up, Elise still unconscious. Her eyes opened halfway, as if she had just woken up and was tired. Slowly she picked up Frio and placed him a significant distance from where they were fighting.
The action seemed autonomous, and like it was effortless to her, and after she walked back, her movements, expressions, and actions all seemed robotic. Though her mood changed with a loud crying yell at the sky, and the ground got scorched beneath her. Several tails of fire erupted from behind her, and created several rings around her. After a second, they erupted even higher, creating a blazing inferno that chaotically whipped around at everyone nearby. Elise was not in control, she was indiscriminately attempting to burn everyone while encased in fire.

Frio watched helplessly.

Solo came at Tak with a force of punches, each powerful with extra strength. Takumi did his best to block & dodge his attacks. Just a few bruises here & there, but it did sting. Under Tak's condition, it's nothing he can't handle. He counterattacked with a heavy kick at the legs & a chop across his stomach before retreating back.
That blast Solo gave earlier hit Elise, waking her from her slumber. When she noticed Frio's unconscious body, she moved his body elsewhere & came back. Tak eyed her cautiously, & like a huge storm she unleashed her power. Fire tails shot out everywhere, rings formed around her body, & everything around her was getting blasted. Tak watched where the fire struck & dodged them, preparing to jump high. When he did, he dived down at Solo with his feet in a stomp position, ready to crush him.

Solo dodged all of Takumi's attack except for a few which blew him away. He was pretty weak against Vampire's even though Takumi had only half of the strength of a real one. Why was Nami doing nothing? Solo glanced in her way and found her collapsed with several bruises and wounds. This wasn't Solo's doing, he was sure of it. Nami was attacked while Takumi and Solo were fighting and while Frio and Elise were unconscious.
Solo suddenly heard Elise unleash her power as several fire tails grew out of her body. Solo sensed another attack from Takumi and took a few steps back, resulting Takumi to hit the ground instead of Solo. Solo did his best to be able to point at the real Vampire but was unable to do so. Keeping an eye on Elise was more important at the moment though.

Frio laid helplessly slumped against a gravestone, able to see everything, though frozen in place. He felt extremely weak and powerless. Elise going out of control, Nami being attacked by a woman with light green hair. The latter confused him significantly, though both events were too much for him.
Meanwhile Elise got hotter and hotter, the hot air made her rise slightly. Any plant-life nearby was made into cinders and the fires began spreading out of the graveyard. Flames lashed out at Solo and Takumi equally, each tendril of flame attempting to burn both of them. It was a horrifying sight.

Takumi missed his target & instead stomped on the ground. He thought that perhaps he had miscalculated. This battle was going nowhere, especially with that collar around Solo's neck. Too bad Takumi wasn't focused on that.
Elise was still lashing out flames at Solo & Tak, obviously having no control. Tak motioned around the flames, but suffered some burns from them. They stung badly, but Elise has to be stopped. Firstly, he had to take care of Solo. After avoiding part of the flames earlier, Tak charged at Solo in a flash & fingertip thrust at him, each hit gaining more speed than the last. The final thrust turned into a knuckle punch, which burst out into white light. Then suddenly, Tak stopped abruptly. He stood there motionless, his human form slowly returning, & he suddenly falls to the ground. He lied there, unconscious, unable to move.

A tendril of flame burned very close to Solo, only barely missing him. A second one went for his throat, he narrowly dodge that one as well, though it set the collar on fire. With each second the flames ate at the collar until it was nothing but strands. Solo sustained a few minor burns, but he was free from the collar's control.
He looked around morosely, and saw that he had caused a large mess. He remembered everything that he had done, and guilt flowed over him. He looked at Elise, who was roaring and screaming, her flames were spreading out of control. He used his lycan psychic abilities, yet failed to do anything; it was as if she wasn't even awake. He tried to think of a way to stop her, though he knew if he got to close, he would be burned to death. With each passing second she got hotter and hotter, everyone in the graveyard was unconscious or immobile, and the flames would consume all three of them if he just left. Solo sighed, apologizing in his mind to everyone; he made a fist and charged at Elise head on.
He dodged as many flames as he could, but the heat was causing him a lot of pain. He moved as fast as he could through the pain, getting closer and closer until he was close enough to punch her in the side of her head. He punched with enough force to knock a person out, and he hoped it would work. Though it did, Solo was impaled with a tendril of fire.
They both fell over, quietly on the burned ground. Elise slept soundly while Solo silently succumbed to his wounds. He had no hard feelings, and died acknowledging his actions.

Nami slowly woke up after she had been knocked out the entire fight between Solo and Takumi. She was shocked when she found Takumi on the ground but was relieved when she saw him breathing. His life was saved. She took a look around to see what was happening and saw Solo walking towards a furious Elise who was trying to burn everything around her. Nami, who was unable to move much, saw how Solo knocked out the unstoppable Elise and both hit the ground. Elise was still breathing but Solo… his breathing started to get slower until it had stopped.
Tears escaped the young Vampire's eyes. Solo died being a hero but this has never happened if they had understood him from the beginning.
Nami crawled towards Takumi's unconscious body and wrapped her arms gently around him. Everyone was unconscious when Solo gave up his life, yet she had seen it all happen. She was the only one who could tell his story… unless someone had been awake like her and she hadn't noticed.
Nami's eyes slowly closed again. Whoever attacked her, she had green hair and wouldn't allow her to see whatever was happening. Nami's wounds hurt more by each second. She slowly fell back to her slumber, not knowing what was going to happen next.

Christian Davidson

Chris was flustered, weakened, and a little bloody from the confrontation with the mermaid. Fortunately, he was able to get away a little as another guy attacked the mermaid, as well. It was the same guy that spoke to her that caused her to go postal. "At least he's trying to help..." he thought, until another guy ran up and used a spell or something to knock the other out of the air. Not only was this guy a wizard or mage, but he had sided with the mermaid. Was this guy with Fairytale, too? Nevertheless, Sorae (thankfully he was still around) said he had an idea, but the mage needed to be taken care of. Chris nodded and glared hard at the mermaid.

It was then that he rushed forward with as much speed as he could muster as he decided to use a throw to put distance between the two. He headed straight for the pair, knowing what he'd use against him. As he got right in front of him, he lunged forward with his arms and quickly locked them around his upper body. Chris quickly turned towards the forest and popped his hips as he leaned back, launching the mage over his body. As he watched the guy fly over him, he quickly regained his footing and crouched down, facing the guy.

"I don't know who you are, pal" he spoke angrily to the mage," but if you wanna align yourself with this Fairytale group, you gotta deal with me!" He stood up and assumed his typical fighting stance. He wasn't afraid of the spells, but he knew no way to block those attacks. He had to be ready to dodge at a moment's notice, as well as move in for another attack.

Elise laid on the ground unconscious, Frio watched with self-hatred. He began to lose his own consciousness, and fell into a sleep.

What is the matter? Are you sad?

So weak Elise could do your work. Absolutely worthless.

Do you really think you are that worthless? Do you feel weak?

You're sickening. That's right, keep crying.

Are you afraid of something? Are you able to speak?

You can't save your friends. You don't even have them.

I can't do it... I give up...

Why?

Told ya.

When Frio awoke, his eyes turned a dull white, and his body felt heavy. He was able to move though, a pointless pain swept through his shoulder. He had no reaction toward it, and made only an effort to step toward Elise and Solo. After several minutes, he moved, detached and cold. His blank face looked down at the two bodies, there wasn't even relief that Elise was breathing softly. He got on his knees and put Solo in a respectable position on the ground.

Frio walked over to the vampire girl and pulled out his journal. He tore out a page and wrote a note. He placed it in her pocket and walked back to his dorm room.

Terra Ignis

The blond haired one was right, a few of them did seem to be wearing uniforms. It was likely that they were all members of this "Youkai Academy", and Terra looked himself over. He seemed to be wearing a hoodie with one sleeve completely burnt away, a T-shirt under said hoodie, and blue jeans. It didn't quite seem to be the type of thing that a school would issue formally. He looked back up and prepared to say something, but another student was quickly upon him. "W-woah!" Terra exclaimed, still surprised by the student's sudden appearance. He was unable to evade, and was picked up and thrown by the student, sliding across the dirt rather painfully.

Terra coughed a few times and regained his ground. "I don't know who you are, pal, but if you wanna align yourself with this Fairytale group, you gotta deal with me!" Barked the upstart. Terra knew the name Fairytale and he knew it well...but he had no idea what it was. He definitely knew the name, but he couldn't form a fragment of an idea as to what it was. Terra took off the sweatshirt he was wearing and threw it on the ground, promptly wiping the dirt from his jeans.

"Look, you. I don't know what Fairytale is and I don't know why you're attacking this girl, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm playing the neutral party in this. I don't belong this Academy." He took a fighting stance, placing his legs firmly on the ground, with on hand in front of him and one at his side. "As far as I know. Maybe I'm a member of this Fairytale group, or maybe I'm a student, or maybe I'm just an outsider. Unfortunately for me, I've already chosen a side, so I'll have to stand by i-"

He stopped. He noticed that the mask that he had in the back of his pants was lying in front of him. It probably fell off when he'd been thrown not minutes ago. He wiped the dirt off of it and chuckled. "Maybe a mask would make me more intimidating," He joked to himself. He raised the mask to his face...and once it made contact, it clasped onto him. "Hey, what-!?" He tried to pull it off with all his might, but to no avail. "Get this thing off me!" He struggled and moved around violently as he attempted to remove the seemingly simple face cover. "GET THIS THING O-" Again, he stopped. His hands dropped from the mask, and he looked down at the ground. Then, robotically, he quickly raised his head and scanned over the field, his eyes now completely red: sclera, iris, and pupil alike. He turned to the mermaid, who was now sobbing next to a somber Ryuu.

He walked over to her slowly. When he stood in front of her, he waited for a few moments. He looked down at her, but he didn't let off an air of sympathy as he had once before. Instead, he seemed to be rather angry, quietly growling in a gruff, almost monstrous tone under his mask. The stare he gave her was not empathetic, but rather, it was filled with apathy and animosity. Finally, he raised his right hand and lightning run up and down his arm, so much electricity that it was visibly jumping up and down. The lightning built, creating more and more sparks, and the masked male readied himself to rid the world of the mermaid for good.

(Apologies for such a quick post, but I felt I should post as Elise along with Frio passing through)
As Frio returned to his dorm, he passed by the armless mage again. He was charging an attack against the teacher and a female. Frio stood emotionless in between them. It was an extremely close situation, but Frio didn't make a single sign of life. He looked at the teacher and crying lady with blank eyes, then looked at the mage. He looked at the mask for the longest time. Frio himself wore a mask of sorts, he was broken. "Please." He said monotonously, "Protect her like you said you would." Frio's voice reflected his new personality. It was level and dry, a melancholy sound. He grabbed the electrified arm, burning his own hand. All of the pain was numbed out, and he showed no sign of faltering. "Promise."

Elise
Elise awoke in a daze. Everything she saw was scorched and decimated. She had a massive headache, and couldn't remember what happened. She walked to the boy who had been with that girl from the pool. He was out cold on the ground. "Are you okay?" She said worriedly. "I-I'll get help..." She saw that the girl was also out and began pulling the boy toward her. After she got them to lay side by side, she sat on her knees next to them. "I can't leave them..." She whispered. "But I'm not strong enough to get them both." Where is Frio... She wondered.
