The talk with Rollanda had gone well, and she had given him some information he hadn't known about before. He was a bit reluctant to tell her about it at first, but she had told him she already knew, which took a load off his chest. The conversation took a bit longer than expected, though, and when he left Reina was no where to be found. So, instead of bothering with his other classes, he returned to his dorm room.

Richard had been so happy before the intruder showed up. He was reading up on the Eye under the covers of his bed. Upon the sudden vibrations, he stuck his head out and quickly went into crisis mode, [colour=00a651]"Edgar, Wake up and do your time shit NOW."[/colour] He hollered down to to him, before thinking quickly on his feet, and casting his blanket off of him and onto the assailant  He then drew himself into a defensive stance. He could afford to be hit by this guy, in fact at this point he really, really wanted to be, but he needed to protect his vital points. He wouldn't be able to reverse a shot to his own head, after all.

[hr]

Somehow Synth had found himself sharing a room with Juliann, the hot teacher he had had a small disagreement with earlier. He had decided, though, he wouldn't go back to the dorm -  at least not for a while. He, instead, decided to nap out in the courtyard, surrounded by the beautiful, if a little repetative, futuristic and bland, school. 

A while afterwards, he began feeling sick. Extremely sick in fact, to the point where he almost wanted to throw up. And then, in the same moment, he felt a sudden spike in energy - negative energy - coming straight from inefwh87eth dorm room. The Eye had most certainly been activated, but why? And, more or importantley, how? The child had little to no idea about what the Eye did, how it worked, or even the side effects that could be caused from it. The kid was going to be the next prodigy of the school, and to top it all off he had badass runes, a lot like Synth himself, but fewer in number. The amount the boy had was marginally impressive, but the way they had been etched onto his body was amazing. Whoever did it knew exactly what they were doing to produce them.

Synth rose, and ran. Straight to the boys dorm, in fact, where the Erasers had already begun their attack. As he ran, he saw Juliann running out of their dorm wearing nothing but her underwear and a camisole, a sight which very much pleased him. Of course, she was heading to the dorms as well, but how could she have known? It wasn't as if the erasers were making much of 
a racket at that point, so how? It didn't matter, though, as it was clear the battles had already begun and the sounds of fighting 
sprung to life. He grabbed his revolver from his back pocket, and formed a blade of solid darkness in his right hand.

Edgar had been sleeping, rather happily in fact, until Richard had started shouting. It was a good thing he was a bit of a light sleeper, because as he rose from sleep to shout at his room-mate, he also went into crisis mode - but in a bit of a different fashion. 

[b]"Richard I'm trying t-"[/b] he went to shout, before averting his eyes to the masked man wearing a blanket. The blanket was slightly vibrating though, and soon it fell off the guy and onto the floor. He soon stood, and grabbed his best daggers from under the pillow, the blades glowing a white light in responce to the night. The three runes along his face began to glow, and Edgar began to chant his first incantation. But, before he did, a loud, resounding bang resonated from the doorway, and the beak masked man disappeared in a blur, only to reappear a few meters away from where he had been stood. In the gap between the room and hallway, Synth stood with his revolver aimed at where the eraser stood.

From behind Synth, his shadow split into multiple parts, and rose from the ground in jagged blades underneath the eraser, and the runes across his body all lit up simultaneously with a black light, casting shadows all across the room. The negative energy was strong in the building, but where it was coming from was pretty much a mystery; almost as if it were covering the entire dorm. Edgar was already in action, and grabbed Richard by the shoulder, and shattered a nearby window. As the glass fell, he pulled Richard out of the window and jumped with him, slowing down everything around them for a slower fall that wouldn't break their legs.

In response to the slow fall Edgar and Richard were experiencing, the beaked mask casted his magic. 

A series of magic circles started appearing right in front of the pair of students, that started to speed them up with each one they passed. The fall would be at at least 200 km/h, enough to kill the both of them, if they were not able to slow themselves down somehow. 

He then turned his attention towards Synth, pointing one of his silver guns at the teacher. 

He fired, but the bullet that came out was incredibly slow. The initial surprise he aimed for would be enough to speed himself up and jump through the window to continue his erasal of Edgar and Richard. 

The flury of events that happened before Richard's eyes left him dizzy, only for him to need to refind his bearings as he found himself falling out of the window. He rubbed his eyes as some kind of Magical Ring began to appear around him and Edgar. Notcing he had a bit of time on his hands, due to an apparent slow that had been put upon them, though that was deteriorating rather quickly, as they accelerated with each ring.

Thinking on his feet, Richard grabbed onto Edgar, and said, [colour=00a651]"Trust me,"[/colour] As he kicked them off of the wall, and out of their time bubble. They quickly began accelerating at the normal rate of 9.81 M/S, before stopping to a lovely 0 M/S upon hitting the ground. Upon hitting the ground, there was a deafining cracking noise, followed by a scream of agony emanating from Richard. He saved his own life, but now he was in the worst pain of his life.

Trembling, he lay face down on the grass, before exhaling and reaching to lay his hand on his leg. Tears streamed down his face as he waited for his assailent to return to him, and send this back. He coughed and then gritted his teeth together, before choaking out, [colour=00a651]"Sorry man, it was this or die. You feeling alright?"[/colour] He asked, really wishing he didn't like the guy as much as he did, as then he'd at least have some place to pass this off to.

The green circles of Naturalis magic were the first signs that Edgar and Richard were fucked. The time alteration field Edgar had created around himself was being negated by the increase in speed, and richard had just moved away from the field and broke his legs. The scream was very, very loud, and Edgar had to cover his ears upon the impact of his room-mate with the cold, hard, grassy floor. And, not to mention, his eye had begun hurting once again. 
[b]"Damnit, you idiot!"[/b] the floor was coming up to meet him faster and faster. All the runes across his body began to glow a pale, white-green light, and but he didn't slow. Instead, the ground slowed, and everything around the area he would land in crawled to a stand still upon landing. The speed at which he fell dropped to 0, and he rolled harmlessly across the grass next to Richard, who was still in pain.

Synth, on the other hand, was having less of a fun time. It was clear the eraser was using Naturalis, and speed magic at that. The slowed bullet was clear and true to that, and so was the way the masked man moved. He moved out of the path of the bullet, and saw the enemy make what looked to be a dash towards the window to continue his assault. But, before he could, a black wall rose up in front of it, blocking him off.
[colour=DimGray]"Negative Abyss..."[/colour] was the last thing the eraser would hear for a while, as the shadow spikes that were once where he stood shifted and grew, covering the entire room in a black void. Around them, the room collapsed as the other battle continued, but nothing else happened in the shadow prison.
[colour=DimGray]"This is where we fight, eraser. You cannot leave here, and neither can I. The only way out, is to kill me."[/colour] with the last remark, all 15000 runes on Synth's body began glowing an ominous purple light, and cast dancing light all around the void. He could already feel the strain on his body from the negative energy he had been using, and had continued to use to keep the spell up.
[colour=DimGray]"Negative Phantasm"[/colour] from under the void, a black, nightmare [url=http://mrgunselgroup1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Shadowhunter_Springborg_Beast02%5B1%5D.jpg/110246965/Shadowhunter_Springborg_Beast02%5B1%5D.jpg]creature[/url] rose up, and bore down on the eraser. 

The eraser simply tilted his head. The beast and the shadowy prison... and the only way out to kill a teacher. 

Yeah, he could do that. 

He trained his gun on the shadowy creature and pulled the trigger once again. Different to what happened last time, the bullet came out at an astonishing speed, and that's not mentioning the shots that followed behind the first. 

They were all done at an incredible speed, so much that they seemed to be shot at the same time. 

All 6 bullets from his first gun sped up and went towards the creature, while he crossed his other arm and shot 7 times at the teacher beside him. 

Again, the bullets were shot so fast that they seemed to have been shot at the same time.

The shadow creature simply stood, hulking over both the eraser and Synth. When the shots fired, it was completely ready, as if it knew the masked man would fire. As the first bullet began to move, the creature lifted its arm up as if to stop it, but instead a giant solid black wall rose from the floor of the void and blocked the bullets. The second set were stopped just as easily, as Synth raised his sword towards the bullets. Instead of being stopped by a wall, though, a single pillar rose from the void and blocked them all in their tracks.

The creature stepped forwards and brought its claws down where the eraser stood, and walls appeared all around him, but they rose like a maze. The only place the guy could move to was right in the line of Synth's revolver, where he was already positioned. As soon as the guy appeared, he would pull the trigger.

Edgar lay, facing the sky, next to Richard, watching as the dorm collapsed. There was some other fighting, some fire, some ice. And a large black cube. 
[b]"Yeah... I'm okay... How about you?"[/b]

Richard pounded his fist on the ground, and exhaled before placing his hands on his broken leg, and saying, [colour=00a651]"About to be a lot better."[/colour] He said, as his hands began to gain a blue glow, and a loud snap echoed  through the empty field. He winced as he leg began to heal, and his pain started to dissapate. He turned to look over at Edgar as he did this and said, " [colour=00a651] Thank god I'm not a one trick pony. [/colour]" as he gave a ragged exhale, and coughed a bit.

Richard glanced up at the tower and said, "Wish I could've given it to that asshat. but I'd rather walk than have revenge." He said as his leg audiably crackled and popped. He began to flex his leg, checking to see if he could at least get moving. It wasn't good that he treated he body like a punching bag, and he has a brief flashback to class earlier today, where he told off the professor for engaging in the same type of reckless behaivior he did. He frowed, ans shook his head, knowing that what he did was at least justified in that he needed to to this to protect himself. After a minute or two, he began to rise. His leg still ached, but he could at least walk on it at this point.  [colour=00a651]"Shall we go find a teacher, or lay around here like a pair of invalids?"[/colour] He asked, shooting a smile over to Edgar.

The eraser brought both arms to his sides, before they both started moving at an extremely fast speed. There was the sound of his weapons reloading, but it could not be seen. 

Afterwards, he took a side step, stepping right into Synth's range. 

He would, however, slow down the bullet, so much as to be able to catch it with his bare hands. And again, he wouldn't. 

He turned to his side, another green magic circle appearing. He jumped and then landed a knee right on the face of the shadow creature. He had the speed of a plane in the middle of flying, it should be enough to crack the skull of just about anything... as well as his knee. 

The first thing Synth saw was the eraser move into his line of fire, and so fire he did. The bullet crawled to a slow though, and kept moving. as if it had been slowed in time. [i]So he can do it in an area[/i] he though, still watching him as he lept and tried to take down the shadow with physical combat. By the looks of things, the kid should have at least broken a bone or two, so the fight would be easier and quicker.

The shadow monster, however, didn't die, or shatter, or cease existing. It, did though, fade away from the attack, only to reform a short distance away with a completely new [url=http://www.zeldainformer.com/images/uploads/HH_Shadow_Beast.jpg]form[/url]. The void prison wavered slightly at the creation of the creature, but continued to keep stability under the strain. 
[colour=DimGray]"You aren't doing so well, child. Perhaps you should take a rest."[/colour] adding a slight difference in tone to the word [i]rest[/i], the runes on his body began to glow brighter. Much brighter, in fact, so that the shadow creature cast a shadow on the void. 

[colour=DimGray]"Negative Abyssal Seal."[/colour] the runes from his face stopped glowing, and vanished all together. 784 runes, all inhabited by spirits, left Synth's body, and instead manifested around the eraser. It was time to gather the 15001st rune.

The Eraser stop right in the middle of the air, a magic circle appearing behind him and then in front of him. 

Even with a broken knee, he could still move fairly fast thanks to his magic. 

This time, though, he aimed to take Synth's head off with a hit from his gun. 

Of course, the spirits that started manifesting around him were most definitely worrisome. 

But he couldn't second guess his decision right now. He dangerously approached Synth, ready to take his head and then....

[color=yellow][b]"Contritio, Sword Art..... Tsubamegaeshi!"[/b][/color] It echoed outside the shadowy prison.

There were three slashes at the same time, but it was most definitely not speed magic. The Contritio at the start of the spell made that much obvious. 

The shadowy cube most probably wouldn't be able to withstand the sheer force of the slashing attacks, as the woman behind this attack intended to break it all off at once. 

Before it fell apart, though, it would probably start shaking like crazy. 

[color=yellow][b]"What kind of teacher tries to kill his own student, mister Synth."[/b][/color] She said with a slightly sad expression in her face. 

The eraser came in for the kill, but as he did the shadow being rushed to restrain him. before it did, there was a presence; a dark presence, from outside the barrier. It wavered, and then pretty much turned to ribbons. At first, it shook, very slightly. Then it began to shake more and more, until it collapsed in on itself from its own instability. 

It was Juliann, the hot teacher from before. She stood there, acting as if killing was... new, new to the whole punishment thing. It was true, the spirit was nigh impossible to heal, and that the student would be completely [i]erased[/i], if you were. But the way she said it, actually made Synth slightly angry; something that hadn't happened in quite a while.

[colour=DimGray]"I'm sorry, Juliann, but I have business to attend to. Business that, if you interfere in, will [i]get. you. killed.[/i]"[/colour] the way he said it, and the look he gave her, showed he meant it, [colour=DimGray]"I will not have these people attempting to kill nje8b7hwfs. If they do, we will have problems. Big. [i]problems."[/i][/colour]

The void collpased, and so did the remainig part of the boys' dorm. Everything else that was once a part of it broke and collpased, leaving only three people standing on a small piece of framework; Synth, Juliann, and the eraser. Edgar and Richard had already begun heading off, but as they did, a loud bang resonated across the school - a gunshot. Synth had taken a shot at the startled eraser point blank, and was confronting the woman.
[b]"lets just get out of here and leave the two to their domestic dispute, shall we?"[/b] Edgar said, turning to face Richard.

The sudden point blank shot was not only cut in two, but in a million pieces, all before Synth could even look at Juliann's blade. 

[color=yellow][b]"It seems you know some of this subject, hm? Well, whatever it is you need to protect, there are several ways better to do things than to just-!"[/b][/color]

She did not expect, however, for the Eraser to point his own gun at his head and then pulling the trigger. 

[color=yellow][b]"W-What?!"[/b][/color] 

The woman reached for her sword, before turning a glare to Synth. 

[color=yellow][b]"Is this your doing? Are you so much of a coward that you'd rather see a student kill himself instead of dirtying your hands!?"[/b][/color]

Her eyes seemed to have a kind of fire to them. 

The bullet, before it had even moved a couple centimeters from the barrel, was cut into a million pieces. Not that it surprised Synth, but it did help to gauge her abilities.

And then, out of nowhere, the student blew his own brains out, all across what remained of the boys dorm framework. He sighed, as Juliann blew a gasket at the kids suicide, claiming him to be a coward. And then, Synth's eyes lit up with a dark, emotionless flame.
[colour=DimGray]"An Eraser. Heard of them? They have come to kill the students, and I can only guess the reason you came is to help. Or, has it to do with the Eye?"[/colour] he glared at her, looking her over with a curiosity into her body language. She managed to know the fighting would begin even before it had broken out, but how?

He turned to the corpse and looked it over, picking up his gun and examining it. 
[colour=DimGray]"My guess is it was a suicide mission, or at least near to one. Do or die as you might say."[/colour] he kept looking at the catalyst, before dropping it off the building framework. At least this way the kid wouldn't be dead for good.

Synth stepped around Juliann and began walking away, before motioning for her to follow.
[colour=DimGray]"He is dead, but Rollanda will sort him out. So come on, and you can tell me what [i]you[/i] know about the Eye. You didn't want to talk about it before, but now you don't have a choice."[/colour] and then he continued walking away.

Richard smiled in relief when Edgar said he was fine with not going back up to fight the gun totting maniacs. He gave a sigh of relief as the pain in his leg disappeared completely, happy that he could walk again. He stretched his arms above his head and said, [colour=00a651]"We better find some way to get to bed."[/colour] He shook his head, [colour=00a651]"Even with this, I doubt the teachers will give us much slack when it comes to getting in on time."[/colour] He bitched, really just wanting to sleep and be done with this by now.

The Erasers. Yes, she had been warned about something of the sort. 

Her instinct, and perhaps also the spirit residing inside of her, told her that the man was not guilty of the death of this man. 

She sighed and relaxed her stance. [color=yellow][b]"I see. Forgive me, I just..."[/b][/color] She turned to the corpse of the Eraser. She was unsure of whether he was strong or not, for being able to pull the trigger with no qualms whatsoever. 

[color=yellow][b]"I might consider talking... if you tell me what you know about the Eye yourself. If you cannot do that, well, we won't really get anywhere. I just have to assure you, I mean no harm to whoever has it."[/b][/color]

She did not move. It was obvious that Synth's threats did not intimidate her, since she had completely ignored all of them since he told her she could die. As if she weren't already prepared to die anyway. 

There was something off about her, something different. Something... Dangerous, maybe, but more... He couldn't put the words to it. The way she talked about the heir and the Eye, it was as if she had some kind of connection with it. But then again, it was clear she didn't know [i]who[/i] actually had it to begin with.

[colour=DimGray]"Right, thats fine. I'll tell you what I know, and you will tell me what you know. Though, be expected to speak first. I can gather you want the Heir's identity, and that will not come without a price from you."[/colour] he said, dispelling the last remaining parts of his magic and reingaging all the spirits back into his body. From what he could gather, the erasers had come to kill [i]everyone[/i], and not just the heir. It was like they were picking targets at random, but they couldn't have. Because one of the very people they attacked was the heir. Surely it wasn't just a coincidence.

[colour=DimGray]"Come, now. Unless you want to talk here."[/colour] 

[color=yellow][b]"No, let's go. I shall follow behind you."[/b][/color] Juliann simply nodded. In exchange for the identity of the heir, it was a steep price to pay. 

Revealing the secrets of her order... yes, for the identity, it was worth it.
