In the middle of Yorick's barrage, the boy who wasn't Frio suddenly woke from unconsciousness and immediately began striking at Solo, moving incredibly fast and showing amazing strength. From there, the fight seemed to be one-on-one until Elise awoke as well, unleashing a blazing inferno all around her with tails of flame that resembled those of a fox. The fight then grew hectic as the boy and Solo tried fighting while simultaneously trying to dodge attacks from Elise, who seemed to be striking at them both for some reason. From her earlier behavior, Yorick hadn't thought Elise to be such an aggressive person as to use deadly force.
A stray blast from Solo knocked Yorick into the branches of a nearby tree so he missed a portion of the fight as he attempted to recover and get back down, but once he did he saw exactly what he had come to prevent transpire. Now it seemed that the boy had gone unconscious once more and that Solo was focusing his attacks on his other assailant. He managed to knock out Elise, but not before he was impaled by a tendril of flames that would no doubt be lethal. He wanted to ask Elise why she had killed Solo, but in her current state she could provide no answer. Soon, the girl from breakfast went unconscious as well and Yorick alone remained awake.
At this time, Yorick felt a mixture of emotions, one that amounted to something he could not describe. He knew none of the feelings comprising this mixture were good ones, though. Most of all, he felt confusion. He did not understand why Solo had attacked them, an action that contradicted his words. He did not understand why Elise, a timid and seemingly peaceful person, had killed Solo. He could not understand the meaning behind Solo's words as he attacked them, or why there was such a drastic change in the demeanor of the boy he fought against, or why his own attacks were so ineffective. Why did entering the forest on his own upset him? Why did Cheryll talk about friends the way she did? Why did Fairytale want to destroy all the humans, his parents dislike humans, people consider others unequal? What was Gavin's plan, or Luthas' plan? Why were things so difficult to understand?
All the things of the past few days finally got to the seemingly unfazeable Yorick and he clutched his head with his hands, falling to the ground. The pain in his head was unlike any headache he had felt before. It was much worse than the ones he would get when he thought too much about schoolwork or the sorts of things people would say. All these questions led to other questions which in turn led to others yet. It was as if they formed a chain leading to every single thing he knew he didn't know and his mind was straining, pitifully and helplessly, to answer them all to no avail. During this trance, Yorick reverted to his human form before his vision finally began to fade. He was met with the sweet bliss of unconsciousness, a brief escape from the ravaging storm of his mind.

When Yorick awoke, he found himself still surrounded by unconscious bodies. Frio and Elise, however, were no longer among them, Frio having gone elsewhere and Elise apparently attempting to move the others. He stood, taking a moment to balance himself as his aching head made focus difficult, before walking over to her and picking up his fellow students, carrying one on each shoulder. "Elise, can you come with me to help me open doors as both my arms are occupied? I will take these two to the infirmary, then I must bring you to a teacher to notify them that you have killed a student," Yorick said matter-of-factly. There was no anger or sadness or the like in his voice despite his words, rather it was his normal voice. There was, however, no smile on his face. "I will leave Solo so he can return to nature. Now, please come." With that, he began walking towards the infirmary. Once there, he could finally ask her why she had killed Solo.
Raka couldn't look away when she finally saw Solo's true strength. He had already managed to fend off a Vampire, a Youko, and a Snowman, and it seemed his only real threat was the human who was clearly on his way to becoming a ghoul. However, soon the Youko awoke and displayed an incredible, yet uncontrolled burst of power. She couldn't believe the events that followed. As expected of uncontrolled power, the Youko began lashing out at everyone, including her allies, but when a tendril of flame burned Solo's collar off, everything changed. His face began to look sad, even guilty, before he turned to fight the Youko. With his power and her blind rage, it should have been a simple matter to kill her. But he didn't. Instead, he tried subduing her with some weak telekinetic skills before rushing in and knocking her out with his fists only to be impaled with a tendril himself. At the same moment Raka fully realized that Solo was a traitor, she also realized that there was no way he would survive that.
The tears and embrace of the Vampire girl who soon slipped into unconsciousness confirmed to Raka that Solo was loyal only to the academy and that he had been a traitor all along. Thus, that collar must have been a way that the commandeer used to control him. Someone like that man wasn't easily deceived. That also explained why he had agreed to let her go with the objective of spying on him. If that were all true, then Solo was a dead man from the moment he joined Fairytale, destined to die by the hands of the academy a slave, or by the hands of Fairytale a free man. Although it would seem his death was neither.
Raka felt mostly rage upon seeing Solo die, but she also felt a bit of sadness. She was angry at Solo for being so stupid and not realizing his position until it was too late. She was also angry that he would dare cross her by promising her a battle then dying before he could deliver. But she was sad at the fact that she would never get to face him in the battlefield.
Raka was tempted to kill the students lying there now, but she knew that it wasn't her way to kill someone that couldn't put up a fight. Also, seeing all this reminded her that she wasn't here on Solo's behalf, rather she was here for a mission. Now that it was complete, she needed to get back without any more encounters. Thus, she solemnly returned to the Fairytale base. She was just so angry that would take a seriously incredible battle to bring her spirits up this time. However, tomorrow it was finally supposed to be her turn to attack the academy, and considering that they've driven back Oz and killed Solo, they should prove to be formidable indeed. Come tomorrow, she would show no mercy.
