As the electric strike devastated the creature's body, it let out a bloodcurdling scream - not a roar, this sound it made showed more pain than ever. It's body violently shook against it's will. It's skin burned, and the knife Diego implanted melted into it's flesh. The electricity left it's body through it's tail, and left a jet-black mark on the carpet. It went limp. [hr][h1][i][color=f26522]Diego[/color] & [color=ec008c]Lupe[/color] [color=f26522]Bella[/color][color=ec008c]squez[/color][/i][/h1] [@He Who Walks Behind] [@TaliPaendrag] [@Maxx][hr] When Beth said "Cover your ears", that directly translated to "shit's about to get real". [color=ec008c]"... Got it!"[/color] Lupe shouted to Beth, and intelligently ran down a hallway as fast as her legs could take her, and hopped right on her stomach. She covered her ears the second she hit the ground - because she felt as if she was dodging a fucking bomb here. She didn't know [i]what[/i] freaky trick the little girl would pull out. And it fucking [i]felt[/i] like a bomb. There was a loud ass bang, which Lupe felt from all the way down the hall. She didn't close her eyes, and felt the intense light barrage her. It didn't bother her. She was used to lights like this because she created equally bright displays (Possibly another power working in the background). Moments later, things died down, and she could fucking hear. Lupe stood straight up, and walked back towards the scene, and took in the carnage. Broken glass... fire.... All that stuff. The hallway went dark again, but Lupe was quick to raise a hand to the same level as her shoulder. And created a pink light that acted as a flashlight. Diego, fortunately, was already out of the way. He slapped his hands against his ears and closed his eyes shut. Whatever Beth was about to do, it was going to be [i]big[/i]. And lo and behold, it was bigger than Diego expected. Covering his ears only helped so much. He could hear the monstrous bolt of lighting, accompanied by the sounds of glass shattering - of course, he couldn't tell one thing from another at this point. By the time the smoke cleared, the moment when the sound stopped, the bright flash of light still filled the room and overwhelmed the very unprepared Diego. [color=f26522]"Argh!"[/color] He shouted, cupping his fragile eyeballs. A minute or so later, Diego slowly peaked, and saw that the light was finally gone. He stood straight up, and looked around. Lupe had already created a light to fill the room. The siblings stood side by side, staring at the burnt corpse of the monster that once harassed the Academy. Reduced to a burnt crisp. [color=ec008c]"... Damn girl..."[/color] Lupe said out loud. Not caring that she was swearing in the presence of children. [color=ec008c]"Guess I underestimated you, you're a real firecracker, aren't you?"[/color] She turned her entire body back towards Beth, and looked at the tiny redhaired girl. Giving her a smile. A smile that would convey approval. Diego on the other hand stared at the beast's body. It was burnt to a crisp - no way the thing could have survived that... Could it? [color=a0410d][i]She holds... great power.... She could be a threat to us...[/i][/color] Agni mentioned. [color=f26522][i]No...[/i][/color] Diego immediately replied. [color=f26522][i]I see a friend. A friend in everyone here.[/i][/color] His vision drifted from Beth, to Titus, to Cassidy, then Lupe. [color=a0410d][i]Keep thinking like that, and they'll be the ones to kill you.[/i][/color] Agni said, before he stopped talking. Choosing to observe. ... Of course Lupe suddenly turned towards the monster, and pointed her glowing hand at it. She fired off a few concentrated shots, the size of her hand, right into it's body. Before she put her hands on her hips and turned her body, looking at everyone much like Diego did. [color=ec008c]"Well, this was pretty damn fun."[/color] She said to the group, with a smile on her face. [color=ec008c]"I have to say, each and every one of you are pretty ballin'."[/color] She shrugged, closing her eyes for a moment. [color=ec008c]"I'm going to add each and every one of you to my friends list, 'kay?"[/color] She said with a smile. The mentions of "friends" quickly reminded Lupe that they haven't properly been introduced. At least Titus and Beth weren't. [color=ec008c]"Oh yeah, I'm [i]Lupe[/i], the girl who's gonna spice up this cool. You two are...?"[/color] She was going to leave Diego's introduction to him. Still, she gave him a narrow look. What [i]was[/i] that thing which spawned out of him? She had no idea, but it looked like the devil himself had shown up. There were things he wasn't telling her. Things that she was going to get out of him later. [color=f26522]"[i]Diego.[/i]"[/color] He dryly said. He walked up to the center of the group and threw up his hands. [color=f26522]"But before we start getting all nice with each other, we need to find a staff member ASAP."[/color] He quickly said. [color=ec008c]"... And get you some medical attention."[/color] Lupe pointed at Titus's massive wound. [color=ec008c]"Like, Jesus, [i]how are you still walking?[/i]"[/color]
