'They've called for them.' The kids in the hall could all hear her voice in their head, though she was staring right at Axel, her eyes narrowed somewhat as she walked past all the kids to stand beside him, her gaze softening when she looked behind her at the younger ones in their current makeshift group; Vale, Jain, Felix, and Lance. 'And the guards are expecting a fight.'
"Of course they are." Axel sighed, repairing his wall as he pulled his hand out.
Then Vale started going off about getting in trouble and fighting. Axel grabbed Vale with his metal arm and carried him back to his room. "Stay in your room if you don't want to get in trouble." Using the minimal amount of metal, he made a quick metal mesh that Vale would easily be able to punch through. "Trust me, you're safer in there than with us.
With Lance choosing to stay in his room, Axel looked at the girls. As far as he could tell, they were all ready to fight. "Barrier's coming down," he announced, putting his hand on it. Immediately, he became armored and weaponized, wielding a pair of large swords.
With the wall down, the guards opened fire with their rubber bullets. Axel blocked as many as the shots as he could, making himself a barrier for the girls to hide behind as they countered the adults. "Be glad they're using rubber," he said to the girls, a slight smirk on his face.
Then running footsteps and hollering could be heard behind them. It sounded like the trainees were coming. "You girls got them," he said, leaving his armor as a small wall for them as he rushed towards the trainees to begin trying to hold them off.

From outside their room, Brayden and David could hear the shouts of the corrupted as they ran through the halls. Many of the trainees that passed by their small window could be seen holding various weapons, though not all of them needed any. Most of the guards they passed were pressed against the walls to allow the teenagers in uniform to pass them without trouble, though a couple of guards got ran over because they were too slow to react.
