[b][center]Annabeth Gultch[/b][/center] Annabeth let out a sigh of relief when Leith finally left. It would be better not to drag him into her and Cynn's issues. [b]"Look, Cynn, about what happened before... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get angry at you like that, it's... I have some bad memories about that time. I'm... I'm not ready to talk about it. Not yet. I'm sorry for yelling at you when... When I promised that I would have stayed with you. The festival wasn't as fun as it could have been without you, and-"[/b] In the middle of Annabeth's speech, she head screaming. It sounded far away before things got progressively closer. Fearing the worse, Annabeth drew her dagger and headed to the door. [b]"Cynn, stay here. I think a fight just broke out..."[/b] But when Annabeth opened the door, a demon stood before her. He had no weapons aside from massive, boney hands. He opened his mouth just a bit before he roared right into Annabeth's face. He got a dagger to the back of his mouth for his troubles. [b]"Choke on it!"[/b] Annabeth lifted her foot up to the demon's chest and kicked him away from the door, but she didn't know how long that would last. She quickly went to her side of the room and took her buckler and long sword. She also took her axe, strapping it to her back just in case for some reason she lost her sword. The demon soon came back, breaking Annabeth's door down. Blood came from his mouth as he was coughing the remains of her dagger from it's throat. But Annabeth froze for a moment. Stabbing the demon before was entirely reactionary, but now that she was ready for some reason she was hesitating. All her training was suppose to prepare her to fight humans, not demons. The monster in her room was at least seven feet tall, and able to survive having a dagger shoved into it's mouth. How was she suppose to kill it now? [b]"Ah... Aaaah!"[/b] Annabeth roared as she charged the demon with her sword poised towards it's head. She stabbed at it's face, but to her surprise it's seemingly wooden mask defected the blow. She barely got her buckler up in time before he swung his fist at her. Her small shield didn't do much to protect her as she was knocked back, but got up before the demon could get to her. He charged at Annabeth and she braced herself, right before she lunged out and stabbed again. Perhaps due to it being a practiced motion or just pure luck, she managed to stab the demon between it's ribs and into it's heart. The monster slumped over her body, it's massive weight threatening to crush her. She tossed the demon aside as she was breathing heavily, a mixture of rage and fear pumping through her veins. During the confusion Annabeth found herself outside her room. Outside demons fought everyone, even other demons. She had no idea what was going on or who was her enemy. She saw the familiar figure of Rathel sprawl on the floor however. She had met him a few times in the past, as he helped students due to being one of the Headmaster's demons. Hoping that he had some idea of what was going on, she went over to him and tried to help him. [b]"Rathel, Rathel! What's going on? Are you injured?"[/b] [b][center]Tyrael Marchrosias & Satori[/b][/center] [b]"Die die die die!"[/b] Tyrael roared as he tore through the demons. Not his demons, not as far as he cared. His familiar was right; he was too quick to accept their alliance. Now he had to pay for it. The demons filled into the dinning hall, but were quickly getting killed by those present, as well as Tyrael and Satori. He tore through them with his [url=http://i.imgur.com/om09Ds5.jpg]claws[/url], rending their flesh from their bones and making sure that he left them in separate pieces. Satori was using Focused Concentration Illusion spells to confused the demons into missing their attacks, or better yet attacking each other. She did well to control the horde of demons as Tyrael made used sure to kill them, but they both knew that they needed to rally the guards and get everyone else to safety. Knowing that no one else was going to be trusting demons Tyrael could not send his own demons to guide them, but Satori was able to use a very long range Wide-Concentration Telepathy spell to communicate with all the guardsmen. [b]"Tyrael, what are your orders?"[/b] She shouted to the fallen orc. He had just tore off the head of a triple headed demon (Now working on tearing off the second head) as he shouted his commands back to Satori. [b]"Kill all demons aside from myself! If they surrender kill them anyways! I want each and everyone one of their heads!"[/b] That wasn't a figure of speech; he had to keep their heads, or at least some part of them, preserved in the mortal world. Otherwise even if the demons are killed, they'll only be sent back to the Inferno and will one day come back to attack the college once again. No, he needed to keep their heads preserved to make sure they can't come back to the college, not even the ones who worked under him. He didn't know who amongst them he can trust right now, so he was going to need to speak to each and everyone one of them. Satori was able to keep track of the situation, even as chaotic as it was. Just about everyone aside from some demons were confused, and those demons were only focused on killing. Those she needed to make sure died. But among the thoughts she was picking up, she was surprised when she detected Zaad's. Normally Khan had his wards up making it difficult for Satori to be able to read into Zaad's thoughts. Stranger still was that Zaad's own wards were down, which he almost never had down even if Satori wasn't around. Reading into his thoughts, she could hear him begging to himself to stop, questioning his hatred. When she found him, she began to read his memories, but found nothing that would explain what was triggering his strange reaction. However she did notice that he drew his weapon and was about to shoot into the crowd, no doubt killing someone. [b]"Tyrael, get Zaad! He's about to attack!"[/b] Tyrael slashed a demon as it fell to the ground when he turned his head towards Zaad, who was forming his weapons. Tyrael jumped into action quickly, turning his own claw into a [url=http://i.imgur.com/LPJGk6z.jpg]whip-like appendage[/url]. He lashed his arm at Zaad, wrapping it around both his arms and using it's clawed tip to keep a tight grip. [b]"Get a hold of yourself Zaad! What is going on with you?!"[/b] Tyrael shouted to the demon as he also had to multitask with killing other demons with his other claw arm. [b][center]Lucilia Riovas[/b][/center] When the demons attacked her, the reaction was predictable. She had tailored much of her arsenal to face demons, and soon those who dared to face her found themselves being eaten alive by briars. They fed off their Inferno energy, weakening them if they didn't die outright. It made it easy for Lucilia to finish them off. From her flower, it's stem grew longer and harder, until it formed into a sword and shield made of what looked to be [url=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120512095040/monsterhunter/images/7/79/Weapon533.png]rose thorns[/url]. Despite it's origins the blade and shield could withstand a high amount of damage, enough to face off against Upsah. But she knew of his strengths, and like all demons he fought best in melee. No, instead she relied on her magic and her crafts to defeat him; she caused the entire hallway to be covered in briars to entangle Upsah, causing thorns to dig into his flesh and sap his power. But it won't be enough, she knew that. She also began to toss out vials of poisonous gas. A poison tailored to be attracted towards demons, it would cause the Archanite within them to go wild and rapidly exit their bodies (I.e. explode), though she also predicted that Upsah had enough control over himself now to not be killed so easily by even that. But at least it would prevent him form using most of his magics. From there it was just a matter of dodging and weaving, striking Upsah when he left and opening and debilitating his fighting ability with poisons and snares. She was more worried about assisting Grey, who had the unfortunate chance to be fighting Heus. Though the hall was too small for Heus, and the briars she conjured would help keep Heus in place, a mere mortal like Grey won't be strong enough to kill Heus, or even scratch him. Or so she thinks. Right now however, she had to focus on keeping herself alive and killing Upsah. [b]"You made a bad choice trying to pick a fight with me!"[/b] [b][center]DEMONS![/b][/center] All over the college, the demons Tyrael had stationed to be guards were now trying to kill everyone. It was nearly impossible to tell which demon was actually loyal to Tyrael and which was a betrayer, but the fallen orc himself had given the command that all his demons must be slain, regardless of their alliance, and their head brought back to him. Many of the gaurdsmen sprang into action and did a commendable job working together to ensure the students and guest would be safe, but they were massively outnumbered, and individually a single demon was strong enough to take on three guards. It would only be a matter of time before it would turn into a rampant slaughter. Flying around the skies, a swarm of demons searched for prey to swoop upon. When they spotted Ssarak and Meirin, [url=http://i.imgur.com/wWEcgJS.jpg?1]moth demons[/url] began to fly around them. They would attempt to stab and tear the two to shreds with their stingers, while the largest one had not only a large stinger, but the ability to spit poison at the two. All the moth demons laughed maniacally at the prospect of killing the two and impregnating their corpses. Smashing through the walls of the dinning hall, a [url=http://i.imgur.com/OoqNJv3.jpg]flesh abomination[/url] came in, swinging it's gigantic club arm at anyone it could reach. It spotted Alaria and thought she would be an easy kill to terrify, so it charged at her with it's club raised high into the air to smash her with. Also in the Dinning Hall another [url=http://i.imgur.com/cH26Cy2.jpg?1]large and imposing demon[/url] arrived leading some [url=http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/daily/features/feature190c_52iywf3inq.jpg]Vexing demons[/url], low level imp-like demons that were human sized. They lacked the intelligence of most greater demons, but they had imp's numbers and fury, with the additional strength brought about for being bigger. The lager demon with the mace led five Vexing demons, three of them who went to attack Leith while the leader and the other two vexing demons simply were trying to cause as much destruction before Tyrael would get to them. At the Infirmary, many of the healers quickly took up arms and assisted the guards trying to protect the place of healing from the demonic enemies. But despite their best efforts, one did manage to break in. An [url=http://i.imgur.com/bF4XNra.jpg]amorphous demon[/url] who's identity relied on it's white mask. When it was able to stand fully erect, it stood six feet tall. It's center split open to reveal a bloody maw looking for flesh to eat. Claws and other spiked limbs exploded from it's back as it began to search for the weak and the defenseless to feed upon. In the gardens where only a Foreas had decided to spend the night, another creature hops through the fauna. But this creature had no regard of it's beauty or care that went into keeping the plants alive through this harsh winter. The [url=http://i.imgur.com/XiwqfMT.jpg]Mutant Demon[/url] was simply rampaging, swinging it's viciously mutated arm around, destroying the plants around her. And at the courtyard where the foxman played his games, the crowd was going wild trying to escape, only to be cut down by demons, trampled over one another, or just running from one danger into another. Here in the courtyard, a [url=http://i.imgur.com/pekZto6.jpg]masked demon[/url] ten feet tall and just otherwise gigantic was, like many others, rampaging. It smashed a lone guard into the ground, breaking his body into a shattered, disfigured mess. With a wild swing of it's other arm it send a student flying over the walls, splattering onto the ground outside. When some of it's many faces turned towards the Sannid, each one of it's masks opened it's mouth (If it wasn't already with a perpetual gasp) and shouted in various voices. "Die!" The demon charged the long Sannid, leaping into the air to crush him underneath both it's fist.
