[center]Everything moved so quickly. In what seemed like a matter of moments, the hallways were packed with students, filled with shouts that rung loudly, with panicked air rising. The strangest, perhaps, was not in the confused frenzy, but in the lack of terrified screams. There was a stray shout here and there, but over all, the shaking roar of the building breaking was far louder than any collective yell for help. (Except the really loud one on the roof, but it was evident to everyone that it was definitely not human). --- [b]Ixion Farbrigth[/b][/center] "Ase!" The school was breaking down alright. As his partner had stated earlier, there was power in numbers, and these little guys had a ton of both. The two had started off on their venture to find other members, only for a wave of students to surround them, to evade the inevitable destruction of their school. A red haired teacher was the last to leave, shouting directions that were passed on from student to student, Ixion having pulled Ase aside to avoid the stampede as well as the sudden lack of school. Before them, what once was a classroom was replaced with cracking bricks, dark demons sneaking their way through. Ixion immediately raised his right hand, expelling shots at anything that got too near. A part of his head had told him to run alongside the other students from earlier, but in factoring the fear that kept his feet stapled to the ground, he decided to stay and fight instead. "Ah, shit," he swore as he turned to his side, wondering how far along this building's side the demons were slithering in. Would it be fruitless for them to start running? "Ase, I'm gonna pick you up again," he said, just as he picked her up again. "Can you do me a favour and do your magic circle thing while I run? Just in case, you know." He fired one last shot at a black thing that hissed too loudly, jabbed himself on the thigh with his crossbow, then started to run. --- [b][center]Gabriel "Angel" Avlon[/center][/b] "Who the fuck--?!" blue eyes glared above as an invisible sniper wiped out Angel's hypnotized prey, only being one note away from expelling them. Someone always had to ruin his fun, ugh. His demonic ride leapt from the ground to a higher ground as Angel himself turned to his sniveling partner-- "And you! Shut up or I swear to G- to SHIT- that we'll go even higher!" Thank the Lord his partner was so easy to figure out, and that her fear was something he could easily threaten her with and not something like lamps or something. Grunting, Angel took weary steps from the still moving beast towards his terrified looking partner, not bothering to hide his disgusted sneer. Using his sleeves to wipe at her eyes in annoyance he scolded, "What are you, two?! You're a demon aren't you? Goddammi- Shitting fuck, if you're not gonna do shit, you at least better believe I'm gonna save your ass!" And with that, his demon rode him into the thick of the rising demon spawn, which admittedly rattled him a little bit, especially when you know, it just literally shoved it's ugly mug into the school. With nimble fingers Angel played a loud aggressive tune on Maria, nearby demons hissing and growling as they burned into ash. Including his own ride. "Ah shit!" With grace, Angel shoved his violin and bow back into his bag, his demonic ride disappearing from underneath him. Suddenly, he was falling. And not just him, his partner was, too. "Shit, shit, shit!" panicked the angel as he reached for his partner who's name he didn't even know. Just before grabbing at her, however, he reached back, wiping his dry blood from a paper he pulled from his pocket, summoning a giant crab-slash-spider esque demon. "Get that girl!" he shouted, panicking inwardly that he wasn't loud enough to be heard because of the surrounding demons. Just before the giant demon mass exploded in white fire, however, Angel saw his familiar catch his partner safely. --- [center]And suddenly, all the demons that didn't belong in the school were on fire. Bright white fire, with hints of red and blue and everything in between, the demons' screeching and hissing inaudible over the flames' loud roar. The school, spare a student here and there, was empty, all other students having been evacuated along with the rest of their classes. Of course, those who weren't with their class weren't evacuated. "A glitch in the system, if you will," said a [url=http://www.zerochan.net/1062746]man[/url] to himself as he overlooked the area seemingly riding on air. Smoke billowed from the side of the Academy's building, the large demon still covered in white fire. The lesser demons not attached to the large mass were quicker to ash out, and as the man's icy blue eyes glowered over the visible students, he huffed. "A glitch, hm."[/center]
