Nathan rolled his eyes 'yeah right. Like I'm really going to believe that whatever this is feels sorry for her. It just needs her to give it more control over her body. And is everyone here too stupid to realize that I'm just trying to draw it's ire onto me? He thought to himself, feeling more bitter then normal. 'But if he's even the smallest bit right about just what this thing is...then any attempt to get it out of Meria that I make is likely to backfire. That really sucks. Why couldn't this be some garden variety spirit? I could deal with that no problem.' Nathan grumbled. Something about this whole situation just set him off. Maybe it was just the last in a long line of straws, or a really big one, but this was the straw that broke his back "and just why should I believe a word you say?" He demanded of the strange man who had just walked in "I have no idea who you even are. The only words I've ever heard come out of you mouth was some condescending remarks that, to be honest, I droned in and out of after the fist sentence you said. So I'll ask again; why the hell should I trust some asshole I've never met before? Oh, and do try to answer without some kind of smart alack response. Otherwise I might have trouble paying attention to you."

"This is not the time to be stupid! THEN LISTEN TO THIS THEN!!!" He yelled as he palmed his hand forward to prevent Nathan from being able to move from his current location by blasting a surge of energy at him. He isolated Nathan's movement so he could not move his feet. His eyes began to glow and energy began to surge out of his body and fill the room. He took a look at Nathan with a very serious gaze in his eyes as he was about to give him instructions and he would either follow those instructions or find out what he was about to do. "Knock Meira unconscious. If you do not I will stop time and do it myself. I already isolated your movement. If you even try to move the gravity will increase slowly feeling like you are being crushed. I am not playing around, kid. Knock her out or I will do it myself! I'm not in the mood to listen to your stupid mouth when we are in danger of being spirited away by her runes. Look at them!" He said as he pointed toward her body and her body started to glow a pale green color as runes started to envelop her body. Nathan had one choice and it was to do exactly as he said or find out what was about to happen. Sentius reversed the magnetic force around Nathan making it so his feet were magnets. He was stuck to the floor unable to move. He had also changed the gravitational force in case Nathan did anything stupid.

"Don't even try to move from your location. As long as I am producing a strong magnetic pull you aren't going anywhere. I'm tired of playing games so I'm going to make this very simple for you. If you struggle and don't do as I say it will just get worse and the gravitational pull will increase feeling like you're being crushed. You only need your hands so use them. If you do not knock her unconscious I will snap my fingers and you will not know what happened. Test me if you want to find out. I'm not playing around! YOU DONE PISSED ME OFF AND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT HOW DANGEROUS MY POWER REALLY IS IF YOU DARE DEFY ME!!!" He said letting his energy get even more intense where the gravitational force slowly began to increase which would make it unbearable for Nathan if he waited too long. He had one option or have Shinrei take the matter into his own hands.

Squall watched as the intruder began to harm Nathan and give his ultimatum. He blinked forward towards Meira, and as he reappeared his right hand was already in motion as it landed right on Meira neck with barely any force, however he then used a spell that caused her to pass out by interrupting the signals between the brain and the body, while doing minimal damage to either. He then looked towards Sentius, "Leave. You are causing more damage than you are fixing." he said sternly.

Meria slumped in Nathan's arms, like a rag doll "what the!? What did you do to her!?" Nathan looked up at the strange teacher before going to check Meria's pulse. Finding that it was just fine, he concluded that she had just been knocked out 'well...that's a handy trick' Now that he didn't have to restrain her anymore, he could deal with this other guy. "If you really think I'm going to hand her over to a terrorist like you, then you're clearly as stupid as you think I am. Regardless of how I feel about her, keeping Meria safe is my job, and there will be hell to pay if I don't" as he spoke, he could feel the pressure growing slightly. Gritting his teath, he kept talking "so go ahead; make your threats, and keep up this spell of yours. Because it's only a matter of time before someone from the palace get's here, and I doubt you can fight while keeping me trapped like this. If you think this little trick scares me, then your dead wrong. I've faced things more painful then being crushed alive, so I can take this no problem" he snarled at the man.

"Sentius no!" Reala pleaded knowing what he was about to do. The last thing she wanted him to do was release the full power of the Primordial Lightning Awakening. It could destroy everyone in the room and all to just show Nathan that is was being an idiot who was jumping to conclusions. Sentius released his spell on Nathan at her request and then she stood in front of Sentius moving quickly over toward his direction acting as a guard for him.

Sentius wanted to show this mouthy child how much of a fool he really was, but that would have to wait. He had other things he needed to do and he had wasted enough time with this fool in front of him. He closed his eyes since this fool in front of him is supposed to be rumored to be the one he was supposed to be looking for. He refused to believe that since this child was so naive that they immediately jumped to conclusions. Not only that, everything that seem to come out of his mouth is a bunch of nonsense.

Reala called Celesna toward her side then gripped the sword with her hand standing between her and Nathan barring any path he had toward Sentius. "I am under orders to not let any harm come toward Sentius. You may protect my sister Nathan, but don't make me kill you over your foolishness. Any harm comes toward Sentius and a full-scale war between Gaea and the EP will escalate. What then!? Is your stupid conspiracy theory nonsense worth invoking a war over? If so then you're more disgusting than I thought and you have no right to be with my sister. You invoke those god damn words again I will kill you where you stand. I will kill any threat who wants to bring war. I will ensure that the peace remains and destroy worthless scum like you who don't know their own authority or place." She said irritated with Nathan's actions as she stood where she was. Reala was very serious about her words, she flashed her sword into an attack position. She would kill Nathan right where he stood if he even dare try to approach Sentius.

"Stupid mortal!" A voice said as she shot a lightning bolt and electrocuted Nathan with it before even had a chance to make an action and made the charge respond toward his pain receptors where Nathan could feel it quite clearly. It was none other than the fairy that had fallen asleep on Alice's desk. This time she had revealed her true self in front of everyone, but she was still wearing that uniform from earlier. "I was sleeping just fine until you woke me up with your tenacity. Are you mortals really that stupid? Hah, I knew it! All you care about is war, isn't that right dragon fool mortal?" She questioned as she grabbed Nathan by the shirt and brought him closer to peer into her eyes which were full of fury. She was very angry since she was enjoying such a peaceful dream only to be woken up by Nathan's bantering. This fueled her rage and made her shoot a powerful lightning bolt right directly at him. "You pledge to protect her over what, invoking a galactic war? Do you really want to devour everything that may be a threat to her? Because if you do you are the terrorist, Nathan. Stop it with your stupid words because you're so contradictory it's disgusting. You mortals have taught me absolutely nothing new other than you act like a bunch of idiots. That is all I have learned. You aren't allowed to talk either. You're like fuel for the fire so just shut up listen for once!" Stellvia said she placed a magic circle underneath Nathan which would absorb his voice so nobody could hear it right after she tossed him to the ground taking Meira away from him and cradling her in her arms. That way he could for once learn to listen analyze everything properly and actually allow someone to slap some sense into that thick head of his. "I don't really care who is who. The one that is causing the most problem is you, Nathan. Though that other guy over there I don't care who he is either isn't helping. All I know is your constant whining just woke me up and now you will have to suffer my wrath for doing so." She then did the same thing to Sentius. Sentius tried to block her spell, but due to her superior form he could not overpower her.

"Now all you two need to do is listen. You aren't helping either of yourselves by insulting each other so why not for a change why don't we take this from the top. You two will properly introduce yourselves or else you will suffer my wrath until you do. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" Sentius nodded at the frightening woman which did send some chills down his spine. "Good." She added as she turned her attention toward Nathan and gave him the same scary stare she gave Sentius. It was the same stare Ranathia gave Nathan and this being had some kind of relation toward her but that was unknown. "That means you too, Nathan. Just nod. Shut your god damn filthy tyrannical mouth and just listen to reason and enlightenment. You're both acting like a bunch of children. So I guess Mother has to take over and discipline the both of you. Don't either of you waste your time trying to escape me. You touch that barrier and it will send unbearable painful sensations through your body."

"I will take care of Meira for the time being. It doesn't seem either of you are fit for the task as you both endanger her well-being. Sentius you're aggressiveness and Nathan you're jumping to conclusions without knowing the consequences of those conclusions, reckless behavior and actions and your filthy mouth doesn't help. My authority outranks yours as I am a deity. Neither of you have any reason to doubt or oppose my authority." She added as she turned toward Alice and Annenis asking for a request. "I want Meira to stay with you and your weird companion for awhile. That way I can watch over her while these two heathens learn to either get along or never get to see her again." Turning her eyes toward Squall to exercize her authority with a cold look in her eyes she looked for no objections from even him. "I trust you are fine with this? A deity is certainly more gentle than these two ruffians. I suggest you keep them in line from now on." She concluded as she caused her wings to appear on her backside which were six wings that were arranged and butterfly colored.

Squall stepped back. He had to got to involved. His protective instincts have started to lead him down a rabbit hole. "Well, if there is no immediate danger, I must excuse myself. I have important paperwork to file after all the events that have transpired, school policy. He said, slowly walking away to the central office.

The room was pitch black, all except for the dim green glow from the other side of the room that Fenrir was in. Fenrir know it was a person night-vision googles. A voice echo'ed through the room. 3. 2. As soon as two was uttered, the other man charged Fenrir as the countdown reached one with a silver sword in hand.

However, the sword didn't hit him, an invisible wall seemed to block him. Fenrir then pushed the wall back, threatening to slam it and the attacker into the wall. He managed to hold it back though sliding a distance away. Fenrir than ran up and scattered the wall of ice and its chunks flew towards the man with the night vision googles pelting him. Fenrir than grabbed his hand and throw his body on the ground. A spear of ice from in his hands, when a voice came through the room. "That is enough Fenrir. You already reached your quote your allowed to injure." The spear disappeared and Fenrir walked out of the room.

Nathan tried to reply, but found that no sound came out of his mouth 'so, that's her game; just shut me up with magic. Does she really not feel like she can fight my words with her own words?' Nathan snorted as he shook his head 'why are there always people like this; people that just expect everyone to roll over and bow to their whims just because their stronger? Nothing but a bunch of bullies, the whole lot of them.' However, he had been angry too much for too long, and his anger soon burned out into apathy. 'You know what? Fine. Let them throw around their weight, see if I care' He then turned a lazy eye over to Reala 'but what I want to know is why she thinks I even want to be with Meria? Why would I want to be involved with someone who could so casually lie to me with such easy, and about something pointless too? I've had too many bad relationships with people like that. So much that I have no reason to believe that I'd ever be able to have those kind of feelings for her. Hell, I don't even believe that girl who claimed to be my daughter from the future anymore... he continued rambling to himself mentally like that for awhile.

Alice was completely unable to follow what was happening in front of her as most of them happened too fast and were done with abilities she had no understanding of, even Annenis looked lost. The girl's thought barely caught up with her when Stellvia made her demands.

"Eh? Ah...Uh...Yes?" Alice sputtered. She had no reason to refuse the demand, even if a little voice in her head say that it was being unfair to Nathan. Silence soon reigned as the goddess disappeared from their sight once her piece was said and done. With nothing else to excuse her presence, Alice would go back home. She won't stop anyone from following her but she didn't leave until she gave Nathan a note with her address on it and saying that he could drop by anytime.

The group's arrival in front of a two floor house at the edge of a town that Alice and Whizzle called home had attracted the gaze of their neighbors. Alice unlocked the door to the empty house as Whizzle had left a message in her phone saying he would be away for awhile before she entered. They would enter into an otherwise normal living room with the more attention grabbing object being a messy table cluttered with books. Those looking at the titles would notice that most of them were books of Magic Theories and Magic Circle Crafting.

"Uh, please come in and... make yourself at home," Alice said, fidgeting on her toes."I'm sorry about the mess."
