Thane simply nodded in agreement. Before his anger got the better of him, and before anything else drastic happened, he began to leave the academy. He would wait outside for his troops to return to him. The fact that Apophis touched no one meant that all went well in the mission. With a silent, yet lively demeanor, the masked warrior turned away from the people of Athalia Academy. [b]"Then I shall be taking my leave. Remember that... I will not hold back in our next meeting."[/b] He silently began to walk out of the place. It seemed that his presence will never be welcome here again. Bael seemed to know of Lily Brightendale, though he did not intend on asking him about the girl just yet. For now, he let the girl cry for whatever relationship they had before he arrived here. He was simply glad to have retrieved fellow kin. He was no demon, but he surely served under one. Yet again, he had become enemies with good people. Making enemies was inevitable in the path of revenge. A road that only left sorrow behind it... that was the road he took. The man quietly turned away, heading out of the academy. He gave Bael a distant look before he did so. He knew that something worse than war was coming. --- Ryuu felt dizzy. Now, it had been a long time since he felt like this. His vision seemed to wobble, his body barely standing upright. It was quite a harsh task to not use his more dangerous powers without actually cutting things apart. That was just not his style... yet... for he preferred to simply knock things out and laugh at them, knowing that he would beat them up again. Killing was a little too harsh for him to comprehend without freaking out. Darwin, the friend he made so much earlier, was apparently next to him. In fact, he did not notice that Darwin was there in the first place due to how battered his body was. He was just a really unlucky guy, he initially thought. However, he fully knew that no one else was heavily injured. That alone was a good thing. The otaku mustered up a grin at Darwin, words unable to come out of his mouth. He was quite exhausted due to how deep his leg wound had gotten. The sunglasses-wearing man decided that he learned his lesson on charging in without having his wounds treated. With that said, when he saw the masked man leaving, Ryuu immediately fell forward, unconscious. He needed to go watch some Madoka after this. --- Nikola wondered why the heck the exit for his building was not opening. It turned out that one of the clones he created was sitting on a control panel. [b]"Maybe I need to reprogram her or something..."[/b] With that said, things had gone quiet. He hoped that it was silent from the invaders' side. --- Cold, blue eyes waited for the masked warrior's return. He stood nearby Athalia Academy, a bloodthirsty blade impatiently waiting underneath his calm hands. The armored being simply wanted to confirm that Thane had completed his mission without destroying anything His stance was patient. Quiet. Silent. If anyone were to consider the being a funny little joke, they were dead wrong. After all, no joy or rage prevailed over the frozen flames within his cold heart. An ice man who hopelessly breathed death. An ice man that waited for a raging dragon's return.
