[TehChron]

Stalking behind Victoria a row of red spikes made their way through the crowd, parting it in it's wake, much like the fin of a shark passing through a school of lesser fish.

"Nanananarenaananananeeenanananeneeeeeh." The crowd parted, revealing a young man, dressed in a leather trenchcoat, covered in well polished silver studs, stylish sunglasses hiding his eyes from view.

The punk rocker approached the totems and the Gentleman, air guitar strumming as people simply moved out of his way.

He stopped, dropping one hand as the other raised to grasp the alumnis in a handshake.

"Great shindig, bruh, my compliments. Best open bar i've been too all week." The rockers free hand jerked a thumb at the skull totem, "Mind if I give that guy a try? It's pretty metal and fits my aesthetic."

[idkman]

Serperion said CBerserker noticed all the attacks coming towards him, this was the third instance for some type of the strikes, some he would not be able to handle. He flicked his hand towards the spear and it went flying from the statues hand flying straight towards Grimhildr and CBerserker jumped towards the glaive with his hand out stretched, forcing it backwards with incredible force that cracked the stone of the statue while following through in order to avoid the other weapons.The spear started to fly towards Grimhildr, it was going to strike her dead centre. In response she quickly rose her Mirror and absorbed the spear trapping it in the mirror world.

"These battle-types are so stubborn..." Caster sighed as the soldiers dissolved into the ground and regrouped, reforming beneath CBerserker and grabbing for his limbs.

Meanwhile, Damien was getting quite annoyed with Claudia's cat and mouse bullshit, so he did the only sensible thing; He stopped chasing her. "Like I'm gonna tire myself out chasing this bitch around... William, how about we help out the Casters instead? The Sisters can keep the underclassman... woman... busy, right?"

Robert silently threw up the devil horns as someone in the crown played "Blitzkrieg Bop" through a stereo.

[TehChron]

The new arrival began headbanging, seemingly by reflex

[Ichypa]

Alysis produced a guitar made out of pure lightning and joined in on making the gathering more metal.

[TehChron]

The punk rocker raised an eyebrow, accepting the challenge as he reached behind him, producing an axe most glorious

[Ichypa]

"Caster, please inform me that the plebian musical dominance display I see beginning in front of me isn't actually happening." Mark said, mouth twisting into a displeased sneer.
"I would love to, if I could." the fiesty wife replied.
"Lovely." Mark said, covering his ears.

[TehChron]

Catching the snide comment, the spiked head turned away from the Gentleman, turning a wry smirk towards Mark while raising his guitar to point at him.

"I dedicate this jam session to the uptight white trash ovuh yonder." Electricity and flame began wreathing the new guys guitar, lending to the dramatic atmosphere as he grabbed a nearby microphone.

"Now then..." He breathed huskily into the device, "LET'S ROCK!"

[Ichypa]

"Wooooo!" Jacob said, sticking the devil's horns into the air, Berserker frowning as she tried to copy the motion behind him

[TehChron]

The ginger rocker stood on the dais holding the totems, muttering a quick aria to activate his Mystic Acoustics, before strumming out a single note

"First set to me. This numbers comin' from our good friends in Nippon, thats Japan for you.uncultured dicks. Doubt you've heard this one out here, and I dedicate it to the stiff in the suit. Listen up. It's time for the Mad Monster."

HIT IT!

[idkman]

A puddle of water hardened into a solid ice drumset, and Robert sat on the throne.

A solid beat was laid down post-haste.

[Serperion]

The Gentleman looked over at the scene, he was smiling or rather the closest thing he could get to a smile. Robert was sitting on the throne, but not a crown in sight how ironic. During the commotion JeeBee had ignored the skull totem he had been looking at and during that time another girl had walked up and grasped the scales.

"Time to get metal it seems." The stone scales started to crimp and contort until it was made of a crude almost cast iron and the girl smiled "Bien" She said to herself, before she held up the scales, and allowed all the sound in the room to flow through her as if she was a human conductor increasing the bass and volume of the music.

---

CBerserker saw the hands clawing at him, so he jumped upwards and out of the way almost instinctively, and even though crazy he knew if he went back down the hands would get him, so simple answer don't fall.

"Well this is new, but to be expected." He said with a smirk.

[Serperion]

William nodded to Damien and turned to see Grimmy holding her mirror, after just catching one of the stone spears. "No!" He shouted as he saw Cbeserker turn and fly towards her. "He can fly! What!?" William shouted running towards them, abandoning Claudia.

CBerserker flew towards Grimmy at a high speed and snatched the Mirror from her hand, using his outstretched palm to send Grimhildr flying backwards. "I am sorry m'lady." He said before flying upwards towards Claudia. She jumped into his arms and the two flew away back towards Tia.

William ran and scoped up Grimhildr. "Wake up!" he shouted as he held her. But she was out cold, and until she woke she could not dispel the NP.

---

Back at the Gentleman's party, they were going out of control with the Metal music, and the Gentleman was starting to get annoyed. The remaining Totem had fallen off the Altar and rolled across the floor.
"Enough!" He said, slightly raising his voice.

The skull totem rolled and landed next to a girl, with platinum blonde hair. She bent down to pick it up, as she placed her hand on the skull, winds and electricity started to pulse around the totem.

"Well it seems that is that then. The rest of you enjoy the party!" He said before clicking his fingers and all those who held a Totem was transported to his back room as well as Victoria.

"Now wait here for your true prizes. Even you Ms Victoria." He said before leaving through a door, leaving Tenma, Jamal, Will, Eliza and Victoria behind.

---

Claudia and Cberserker had returned to Tia, and had arrived in the ritual chamber. The Gentleman walked in. "So do you have it?" He asked.

Claudia nodded and CBerserker presented the Magic mirror.
"Perfect." The Gentleman responded. "Now lets begin!" He said with a hint of Malice in his voice. And walked up to the giant stone wheel in the centre of the room.

"Claudia, do you know what this is?" He asked the girl.

"No."

"It's a wheel of time." CBerserker responded.

"Very good, but I expect nothing less from one such as yourself Mr Newton." The Gentleman continued. "This wheel of time has been recording history for centuries and now with this, we can take it into our own hands."

"Change history?" Claudia asked sceptically.

"Ha hardly, this does not possess the power to alter only read. But this!" He said holding up Grimhildr's mirror and placing it in the centre of the wheel. "This holds dark magic, the ability to inverse. Now Black join me." He said holding out his hand.

Claudia reluctantly held his hand, it was so cold. "With this mirror we will look into the future, and arm our horsemen with the experience needed to win this war." He said as he took out four strands of hair from his inner pocket and they started to float around and then he thrust both his and Claudia's hand onto the face of the mirror.

It was an intense blast. The hair had provided the past memories of their owners, but the mirror took that and showed the possible futures, but twisted and corrupted by darkness. Claudia removed her hand. "No! To much evil lives in these visions. These are visions of the future, it clashes with my power."

"You are weak!" The Gentleman said forcing her hand back onto the mirror. CBerserker stepped forward to assist Claudia, but The Gentleman flicked his wrist and CBerserker was swarmed by branches and vines. "You think a mere servant can stop me now! Now you will read!" The visions struck Claudia, death, destruction, she saw her precious London in flames. This is what the Gentleman had wanted, warriors that knew death and destruction. After what seemed like an eternity he allowed Claudia to drop away, but not before she had seen the story his memories held.

"Now, imprint!" He said holding out 4 seeds, the same types of seeds Claudia had used to grow her treemen. He lifted her hand and placed them on the seeds, against herself she had to get rid of the memories or visions, the darkness of Grimhildr's mirror corrupting relentlessly. But this was what the Gentleman had wanted, had he seen what she had seen, regardless she was going to give him exactly what he had wanted, someone so corrupt as he would have to rethink his choices.

"It is done." She said removing her hand, breathing heavily. The Gentlemen closed his hand and walked away, releasing CBerserker from his entanglement. Cberserker went and picked up Claudia. "I think we have made a mistake Berserker, no school contest is worth what he wants to release."

The Gentleman started to walk back to the room with his 5 new recruits, leaving Claudia in the dark.

[Ichypa]

"Prizes?" Victoria said, frowning. She was not happy about being dragged around. No one made her do anything. No one. "These had better be some good toys." she said, darkly. At the other end f her connection to her Servant, Victoria could feel his desire to move, to take action. But for the moment he clad his eagerness in patience. Victoria drew upon that patience, and managed to behave herself beyond rapidly and constantly tapping her foot, waiting until the Gentleman revealed his prizes.

[TehChron]

The Open Bar had swiftly turned from an oasis into a desert as the punk rocker continued his jam session, orbited by several copies of his electric guitar playing backup to his solo performance. The number of empty bottles and glasses laying in his wake were shocking not just in volume but the fact that if anything, the young magus seemed to only take strength from them.

Coming across Alysis, who had only conjured the guitar and then backed down from the challenge she had herself issues, the spiked haired lad smirked, ending his impromptu guitar solo before breathing in her face with a guttural sound.

"Now then babe," He began, taking out a lighter from his leather jacket, constantly switching it off and on again, "I guess you couldn't light my fire after all." He began breathing heavily, chuckling darkly.

And then the copious amount of alcohol in the air introduced by JeeBees exhalations caught fire,

Alysis gave him a confused look. "I wasn't trying to." she said.

[TehChron]

"Don't even lie." The mysterious punk said, floating guitars ominously burning around him, "Why else would you challenge me to a jam session?"

The,boy snorted in disgust, before leering at Alysis, "Well, Im not surprised. Youre just not metal enough to hang with the,big boys."

[Ichypa]

"I wouldn't know why, seeing as I didn't challenge you." Alysis said, scowling. "But if you want to start something, then by all means, let's step outside and I'll finish it."

[Serperion]

The Gentleman had walked into the room. "Sit please." He said to the 5 gathered there.
"Tia prospectives, I have chosen to give you a fabulous gift in exchange for your obedience to the house of Tia, our mother goddess of peaceful death. I offer you these." he opened his palm and in it lay 4 seeds.

"Seeds? What!" Jamal exclaimed. Eliza was still confused she hadn't even agreed to any of this.

"These seeds when used with this catalyst." He said pulling out a vial that had a few drops of blood floating inside it along with a red wispy type of energy. "I will place within you an Origin and the power to defeat the welps of the other houses. So what do you say?"

The four with totems looked to each other and then to The Gentleman. Before he turned to Victoria, "Ms Victory, after and all things considered if these four take on the roles I wish to give them. I have a role just for you if you think you could hatch it." He smirked.

Before turning to the other four. "So what do you say?"

He went around the table, Tenma nodded, as did Jamal, then the little french girl nodded and they turned to Eliza, she looked at the Gentleman and then to the rest of the people in the room and then to the skull totem she had picked up almost by accident.

"OK! I'm in." Eliza said.

"Wonderful." The Gentleman said opening the vial with the blood in it.

"What is that?" Jamal asked carefully, he was one to be weary of blood magic.

"This, is the catalyst that allows one soul or ability to be shared between two or more, it is the blood of a gemini." Jamal looked directly at the vial and eventually he was satisfied.
"Shall I proceed." The Gentleman said.

The blood from the vial started to flow out and roll around the seeds. Claudia was now watching from the door eager to see what would happen next, but by touching the Gentleman she knew exactly what he had planned.

He threw the seeds at the students sitting down and they hit each one in the centre of their forehead.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Jamal started to scream.
"Why does this hurt so much!" Tenma also shouted as he started to writhe on the floor.

Jamal's skin started to turn red, Tenma white, Will black and even Eliza started to turn a sickly greyish colour.
"Well I need to fix your body, I can't have my steeds breaking." The Gentleman said with a smirk.

"Stead! I thought we were your horsemen!" Tenma shouted.

"Now, now I never said that." He retorted, the seeds were growing inside them bursting from their skin and making forming a newer more solid body. But the pain of having vines and branches rip through your body and your veins was excruciating. Soon they stood and they were covered head to toe in wood, their former self no longer visible, the very same tree men Claudia had used against the Casters, were the base for this transformation and they stood there inanimate.

"Now grasp your totems!" The Gentleman commanded

One by one they grabbed the Totems that lay on the table before them. As they did so, the wood began to change and contort, turning into armour metallic armour for each of them, The Gentleman turned to the last one.

"How do you feel?"

With a familiar voice they answered. "I have become death, destroyer of worlds." And she raised her hands and electricity crackled. And then she and the other 3 armoured figures as well as the Gentleman turned to face Victoria.

"Wait a minute." Victoria said, her scowl fiercer than ever. "You drag me all the way out here and then you don't even have any toys for me? And don't give me any crap about killing them horribly and turning them into tree people, because the tree people got toys too. That's twice you've made weird vague promises and then given all the cool stuff to other people!"

JeeBee smirked, then lead the way
