Garden Of Dreams [IC/PG-13/Started Accepting]

Ashe got up the next morning and got out of bed. He yawned and stretched his arms. He quickly changed from his pajamas and into a sleeveless shirt and some shorts. Ashe went down to his basement to start his morning routine. He was a gym teacher so needed to be in top physical shape. He does have a wiry appearence, but he is extremely strong. Ashe started his routine with some stretches, then went to doing pushes, then jumping jacks, and so on. He pulled on some gloves and started working the punching bag. This is where he really lets out. He delivered a barrage of punches and kicks. They were so fast, coming from left and right, up and down. The bag was going all over the place. Ashe got all this speed and power from all his years of training with Fumore and when he was rogue. He is comparable to Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara excpet without the anger problems. He wiped his forehead to find it covered in sweat. [i]Well, I did unload on the bag[/i], he thought to himself while he let out a small laugh. Ashe pulled of his gloves and dropped them on the ground near the punching bag. He jogged up the stairs and hopped into the shower. When he was finsihed, he put on some more casual clothes. He made himself some breakfast and poured some orange juice. Ashe qucikly downed his breakfast and chugged the orange juice. [color=#800000]"My, my, that was good!"[/color] he said while patting his stomach. He got up and went to the front door. He picked up his helmet from the small table beside the door and put it on his head. He snapped his fingers and a black blob appeared. The blob the formed into a black skateboard. Ashe picked up the skateboard and went outside. He dropped the board and started to ride towards the skate park. Despite his age, he was a regular there. Unbeknowst to most of his students he was a very good skateboarder. Ashe got to the park and started riding around. He would a trick here, a trick there. He didn't want to show off. He got some greetings from the other regulars there. He said hi back and rode around some more. Ashe got bored and started to ride around town.

Despite being a teenager Charlotte was usually up surprisingly early even at the weekend, usually so she could make herself breakfast [i]and[/i] prepare lunch for later whilst still having about an hour to spend in her father's private gym before the day really started. Right now she had walked into town (despite living at least 3 miles away, she hated taking the bus) and browsing the trade paperbacks at the local comic shop.

"Something on your mind?"

Charlotte glanced up from her browsing, she came here often enough that the store's owner knew her by name, it was only natural that he'd be concerned. Although Charlotte had been trying her best to appear as normal as possible despite all the crazy things that happened yesterday.

[b]"Something like that,"[/b] she muttered, giving the vaguest of replies.

She walked out of the store a few moments later, setting herself down on a bench just outside the park. She reached into her bag, pulling out one of the comics she'd just bought and began flicking through the pages. She barely got a few pages in before she heaved a sigh and closed the book.

[b]"What's the point,"[/b] she muttered [b]"Real life is just as crazy as everything else now."[/b]

"My god! Nancy has just turned into a killing machine!" She studdied the incredible creature. "It isnt the most, um, stable fighter. It just lashes out, but, in a real battle, it might not turn out like that. She may be more strategic, if she is still conciense." Sakura studdied Nancy."how does she go back?" Sakura said aloud, but not conciuss of it. "It would be interesting to try to fight her, but even with my new skills, there is not much I could do about this thing." She noticed all the dummies were mere shreds, but, the shreds were still being mauled. "There is so much destructive force in this thing! I can see why Nancy wanted me to contain it." She looked around for claude, breifly takeing her eyes off of the window.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nancy was in the middle of Smashing more targets when she heard a voices coming from the Right wall, She was thinking about going after that wall with huge amounts of force but was stopped by a voice in her head [i][color=#006400]"Don't you even dare think about it..." [b]"Why Not!? There could be more targets on the other side!" [/b]"Those 'targets' you refer to are my Allies, You s-" "[b]Those Guys!? They Touched you Yesterday" [/b]"We were sparring" [b]"Good point"[/b][/color][/i][color=#006400] [/color][color=#006400][i]"Also, Do As I tell you when we face a real battle, I cannot have you Leeroying everyone" [/i][/color]Nancy then continued Devastating the targets in the room, This time, Missing only the Human-like Targets, She started to pant hard from expelling all that energy as destructive force, She destroyed the Spider and Tiger Targets easily. After a moment of standing still, She turned back to normal and walked toward the door...

[color=#000000]Casey was just standing there against a tree in the park, a new dark blue parasol in one hand, and a lit cigarette in the other. Her eyes seemed to be half-open, and she appeared to be staring down at the ground for whatever reason, almost liked she was struggling to stay awake. That's probably why she was smoking, because that seemed to help to an extent.[/color]

[color=#000000]To her left, a girl, presumably one of the chosen knights, was sitting down to read a comic book. Eventually the girl closed the book and made a comment on how real life seemed to be just as crazy as "everything else". It was [i]then[/i] [/color][color=#000000]that Casey spoke.[/color]

[color=#800080]"That's easy for [i]you[/i] to say; [i]you're[/i] not the one being constantly tortured by it,"[/color][color=#000000] said Casey, without even so much as looking in the girl's direction, [/color][color=#800080]"Y'know, I've been waiting a long time for this... "normality" to come to an end. Maybe this is a sign."[/color]

Adrian yawned and looked up at the sky, watching the clouds float past on what seemed to be a gentle breeze, though no such breeze existed today. Nothing but a nothing. Not a single breath. Not a particularly happy thing for Adrian. He liked the wind.
He sighed and turned his head down, looking at the now cold cup of coffee he had resting in his hands. He sipped it before cringing and tossing it towards the nearby bin, getting it perfectly in the basket.
Without really recognising his 'achievement', he stood up and looked around. The graveyard he had been sat in was empty, the cold empty space devoid of any life but himself and the grass, though Adrian thought that was all that was needed. He shrugged and unzipped his jacket, the lack of wind making the air quite hot. He closed his eyes for a second, unaware that a pale, sickly teenager stood up in the graveyard with his eyes closed looked even remotely strange.
He extended his 'vision' underground, looking at the skeletons of the deceased. There were more than just humans, there were animals, both modern and ancient, though he'd struggle removing the older bones. He shrugged and moved one of the dog skeletons from across the park to under the path, pulling a rib up to the ground in order for him to look at it. He picked it up off of the ground, examining it for a moment, before closing his hand on it. When his hand opened once more, it was a small bone chain, which he wrapped around his arm. [i]It'll do for petty defence. It probably wont do much against the nightmares. [/i]Adrian mused, proceeding to exit the cemetery, knowing that should he ever have a major fight - despite the immorality of it - that would be an Ideal place for it to take place.
He glanced back once before steering himself towards the park. He had the funniest feeling he'd encounter someone there. And besides, it was a lot safer than back there. Not two blocks away from that cemetery, he was sure he could feel something demonic, and his skin started to prickle with fear. "Anywhere would be safer than back there it seems." Adrian muttered, walking around the edge of the park until two figures came into view, one leaning against the tree, and one more familiar one sitting on a nearby bench. Adrian would've interrupted, but instead sat down on a further bench, and stared at the comic book store down the road, while his ears concentrated on Charlotte and the other girl's conversation.

[Piercer of the Heavens]

[color=#FF0000]"Look at that." [/color]a monstrous voice said. [color=#FF0000]"You have waited too long and the chaos is gone. If it wasn't for us being partners you would be dead."[/color]

[color=#A9A9A9]"Oh leave me alone."[/color] the drowsy voice responded. [color=#A9A9A9]"That's what you get for relying on me. But I guess I should go now."[/color]

Fumore continued to lay on the roof of the school. He was finally able to take a nap, but too bad for him. The peace wasn't going to last. Fumore stood up in a hurry, he sensed something. He began to look around trying to find where the nightmare was going to appear. Reality began to warp, although it was unoticable. Unlike the spiders, the was no special area that accomponied this nightmare.[i] "Crap, where are you going to appear." [/i]Fumore thought to himself while looking around. A strong power could be sensed in the air.[i] "s***, don't tell me, they made their move this early. There's still weeks before the seal needs to be re-sealed."[/i]

[color=#A9A9A9]"Hello, hello."[/color] a drowsy voice said.[color=#A9A9A9] "I believe its customary that I introduce myself before I kill you." [/color]Feather started to appear forming a sphere a few feet in front of Fumore. Fumore quickly transformed into his Knight form. The sphere of feathers opened up to reveal the [url="http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu105/monkeylife2/wrath.jpg"]nightmare[/url].[color=#A9A9A9] "I am known as Acedia. I don't know if you know this, but I am one of the Knightmares of Seven."[/color]

"Well I can tell by the amount of power you give off." Fumore responded. "But either way, you wont take another step." Fumore rushed Acedia doing a horizontal slash. It was easily dodged by flying straight up.[i] "Crap, why do I feel so sluggish." [/i]Fumore thought. Acedia then spread his wings. Feathers shot out of them with tremendous speed hitting Fumore, forcing him through the roof.[color=#A9A9A9] "Your too slow." [/color]Acedia said.[color=#A9A9A9] " I really thought you would be faster." [/color]Acedia the flew up even higher, lifting his sword straight up. Wind started spin around his sword, which was then swung vertically down. A vortex of wind shot down straight at Fumore, creating an ear piercing screech and destroying the rest of the roof. The vortex sent pieces of the roof straight up into the air.

As soon as the rubble settled Fumore laid on his back, with his shield in front of him. "I may be slow, but that doesn't mean I'm weak."

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nancy could feel Reality warping, Unlike last time, There was no extra darkness, and she could feel only 1 presence, She ran out of her "Danger Room" fully Detransformed, She then said to Sakura [color=#006400]"We need to go... A Big Nasty Shown itself, A [b][i]REALLY[/i][/b] Big Nasty..."[/color] Her Voice gotten much serious to prove a point as she shot upstairs and out of the house, just in time to see several pieces of the roof of the school get flung in the air, Her eyes glowed red as she saw a figure above the Ruins, She Ran as she thrust her palm upward, Firing a Hand of Darkness out to grab the Edge of the building to fling her up to the ledge and said [color=#006400]"Hello, This is the Claw Line, and we called you to tell you to go F*ck yourself and go pick on someone your own size!" [/color]Nancy Cracked her fists and Grinned a rather Evil looking Grin, then Continued [color=#006400]"I'll be sure to give you a Nightmare to Remember, But then again, I would have killed you by then!"[/color]...

[Cherz]

"Sakura had been gone by the time Nancy had began to talk. She had left her locket at school. She rushed there, and saw a huge angel like creture. She looked to her side, and saw Nancy attack. "Damn it Nancy, why would you openly attack?! You should have hidden, and launched a suprise attack!" With that sakura was gone, like a breeze. She found a hiding spot that covers her, yet she is able to see at a verry wide range. Sakura pulled out one of her 30 knives, and had sent one expolding at sloth. "That will detonate right upon hitting him," Sakura had thought to her self, allowing a smile. She then pu her battle equipment on.

Ashe was riding around town like a pro; with his hands in his pockets and whisltling a tune. He was weaving between people, benches, stands, among other obstancles. He was enjoying his ride when his right gloved hand started to sense something. Ashe knew that whenever his hand would sense something, a powerful nightmare was nearby. And from what Ashe could tell, it was one of the Knightmares of Seven. [color=#800000]"S***!"[/color] he said aloud. He went into high gear. Ashe jumped into the street and raced towards the school. He zoomed past the cars that were already on the street. He got several disapproving honks from the cars. [i]Why the hell are they attacking now[/i], he thought. TAt the speed Ashe was going, he got to the school pretty quick. He saw Fumore and one of the Knightmares duking it out on the roof of the school. Ashe made sure that no one was around or looking. He stuck his hands out behind and let out a huge burst of flames. The flames were enough to launch him up towards the roof of the school and give him a significant speed boost. The Knightmare blew the roof off the school, but that didn't stop Ashe. Black lightning and flames started to surround his fist. Ashe wound up and punched the bastard in the face. He flew past the Knightmare. He let out another burst of flames to stop himself from flying any farther. Ashe switched his board into flight mode and surrounded both fist with flames and black lightning. He was prepared for a fight.

A voice spoke up, responding to Charlotte's random musings and causing her to look up, spotting a girl underneath a parasol. Charlotte didn't recognize the girl herself but the image of a parasol was somewhat familiar, and given the way she was talking Charlotte figures she might've been one of the 'chosen knights' or whatever it was they where.

[b]"That's your problem, not mine,"[/b] Charlotte replied in a very 'nobody asked you' sort of tone, not even looking at the girl when she said it.

Before anything else could be said from either party Charlotte felt a familiar sensation creep its way into the air, the same sensation she'd felt when the world had warped last time however this time there was no darkness to accompany it, just an unusual feeling of dread. Charlotte stood up from the bench, expecting a bunch of giant spider creatures to start popping up all over the place but none appeared. Charlotte was confused for a moment until she heard a faint noise in the distance and turned around, noticing something in the direction of the school, it seemed as if the nightmare creatures had appeared there again.

[b]"Typical,"[/b] Charlotte muttered, vaulting the fence around the park and spriting in between cars and pedestrians completely oblivious to what was going on.

[color=#000000]As soon as Casey felt the warp in reality, her right arm had dissolved to the state it was in when she helped fight off the spiders. This time, however, it didn't seem to hurt anywhere near as much as it did the first time. It was... strange, to say the least. However, she didn't have much time to examine what was going on before she saw two of the chosen knights take off into the middle of traffic, one of them being the same girl that she was just talking to.[/color]

[color=#800080][i]'Oh for f***'s sake, they [b]have[/b] to attack when I'm in the middle of a smoke!' [/i][/color][color=#000000]Casey growled as this thought came across her mind, [/color][color=#800080][i]'God [b]f***ing[/b] damn it! Stupid ass-hole nightmares and their retarded timings!'[/i][/color]

[color=#000000]Eventually, Casey finished off her cigarette, which she was half-way through smoking at the time of the incident, before teleporting straight into the fight between Acedia and Fumore, bringing the parasol with her. She immediately started by casting a wall of ice between herself and the fight, before summoning a blizzard on the other side of the wall where the fight was.[/color]

[color=#800080]"Dance, b****!"[/color][color=#000000] she spat, hoping to pummel the Knightmare with the rain of hailstones.[/color]

Adrian was getting quite tired just sitting on that bench, and was starting to feel a little awkward. I mean, he was sitting on a bench, all alone, listening in on a conversation between two girls while at a safe distance where they wouldn't notice him. [i]Stalker much.[/i] He thought, deciding that he might as well move anyway. They didn't even seem to be having much of a conversation. He sighed and pushed himself up off of the bench, pulling out his phone as he did so. He glanced at it to check the time, sighed again, placed it back in his pocket and started to move away, deciding that he might as well go get some 'brunch'.

As he started to move, getting about 3 steps away from the bench, he felt a sudden coldness run through his body. Like the chill you're supposed to get when someone 'walks over your grave'. He muttered something about [i]stupid paranoia[/i] and started to move again, but didn't get very far before the chill came back, stronger and constant. He lifted his head up, looking around the trees surrounding him; his eyes invisible through his thick hair. He turned around for a moment to check behind him, hardening the bones in his fist as his did so, though he did not remove it from his pocket.
Recognising the feeling from the encounter at school, he realised that it wasn't paranoia or anything. It was a nightmare. And a big one at that. Walking back towards the bench, and the other two girls, he noticed that it was also different from the previous time, as the environment itself had not noticably - well, to a normal person - changed. Everything was just as it had been before. It just looked...odd. Distorted. As if reality itself was preparing to fall apart. The trees seemed more looming and alive, the ground seemed to bend and twist, as if it were living, and the air seemed to choke him, though he lost no breath.
Adrian was scared now, and a single bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face, not visible untill it dropped off of his chin. "Sh*t." He cursed, now running towards the girls. He arrived at the previous spot they had been, in time to see the girl with the parasol vanishing into thin air, presumably some form of teleportation. Shrugging as he ran, he noted that he didn't even know who she was, and was to be sure to at least get her name after the fight.

He turned towards the nearby road, the quickest route from there, and noticed a flash of red hair darting between the cars, which were stuck in traffic. Recognising it quite quickly as Charlotte's hair, he chased after it, using his new found powers to improve his speed, allowing him to dart through the traffic with speed and agility.
He caught up quite quickly, and was soon darting through the traffic at a similar level to her. "Hey!" He shouted, aiming to get her attention. "You gonna be okay?" He asked, quieter as he moved next to her.

Gabrielle had been out for a walk in the park (ironically enough) when she felt a sudden coldness rush over her, and she started to feel odd. The coldness made no sense, it had been quite pleasant outside just a second a go and it didn't seem like it came from a gust of wind or anything of that sort. She kept on walking for a bit, thinking she must have just imagined it. But as the sense of something being wrong and the coldness coming back once again, washing over her all over again and causing her to shiver, she decided that something was wrong.

She recognised the feeling though, she knew she had a connection to it somehow but she didn't really know where from. It took her a little while but then she remembered, she had felt the same way when those spiders suddenly appeared at the school! She still found that occurrence to be terribly unbelievable but none the less it had all happened. She had stayed away from the fight, as she seemed to be powerless. At least in the sense of fighting giant spiders, something she didn't feel too comfortable with doing anyways. Disgusting little creatures.

She had noticed something that had changed though when she was cooking and accidentally burned her hand on a warm plate. While it hurt like hell it had healed up very quickly, and not just oh that went away a bit faster than I expected. It was all healed up and gone within an hour, no traces of it at all! Now, while it was odd she wouldn't go and try anything as she didn't want to risk seriously injuring herself because of a theory.. and it still hurt a lot doing it so she was not very keen on the idea of hurting herself for it either.

This time there didn't seem to be any spiders though, actually she didn't see anything at all that was out of the ordinary, but he had a bad feeling and something was definitely off.

[Piercer of the Heavens]

[color=#A9A9A9]"Oh look, more pest have arrived." [/color]Acedia spoke as the Chosen Knights started to arrive. Nancy, whether she knew or not, commited a mistake that was going to cost her. With her position staright in open space, Acedia had a clear hit. He lifted his sword; wind started to gather around it, but before he could strike Ashe came flyring from nowhere with a ferocious fist.[color=#A9A9A9] "Your too slow"[/color] Acedia said before simply moving out of the way.[color=#A9A9A9] "Now suffer." [/color]he told Ashe. Acedia gave a downward slash creating a vortex of wind which hit Ashe before he could do anything.[color=#A9A9A9] "You're all too slo-" [/color]Acedia was interrupted by a knife that stabbed into his shoulder, which soon exploded. The smoke completely covered Acedia. Before that smoke could clear feather with the sharpness of blades, shot out in Nancy's direction.

Fumore barely managed to react. He threw his shield, which quickly gained speed as soon as it left his hand. Well at least it seemed like it to everyone who saw. The shield managed to intercept the feathers, but now Fumore was defenseless. A soon as the smoke cleared Acedia was still flying holding his shoulder. He looked down only to see a wall if ice had been created. Hailstones started to appear from the direction of the ice wall. Acedia tried to dodge them, but the hail hit him; knocking him down to the top floor of the school. He stood up, Fumore was only a few feet away from him.[i] "Strange, that hail seemed to move at an incredible speed."[/i] Fumore thought. "You won't dodge this one!" Fumore yelled giving a horizontal slash, which was easily dodged by a step back. A counter soon followed, Acedia spread his wings and shot feathers at Fumore, knocking him back to the wall. The feathers managed to pierce his armor.

Concentio was at the school when everything started, but was slow to react. It wasn't until Acedia was knocked out of the sky that he transformed. He noticed that mostly everyone was too slow to land a hit. So he went to what was left of the roof and drew nine music notes in the air with his rapier. "Maybe this will help" he said as the music started to play([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ddHdO8jeZY&feature=related"]Song of Speed[/url]). Not only did the music play, but Concentio started to sing to the song. His eyes widened. [i]"How...how am I able to sing, I couldn't even talk until yesterday."[/i] he thought o himself. The song gave all allies that heard it a speed boost, along with himself. He leaped onto the floor that Acedia was on, landing behind him. He gave a thrust with his rapier. [color=#A9A9A9]"Too slow"[/color] Acedia said simply dodgeing the thrust, and doind one of his own, stabbing Concentio's shoulder. "What, even with the speed boost you managed to dodge my thrust." Concnetio then continued to sing again to keep the effect of the song in effect.

[color=#A9A9A9]"I'm getting tired, how about you all just die."[/color] Acedia said. [color=#A9A9A9]"Just go kill yourself. It will make my job so much easier."[/color] Acedia once again took to the sky. He raised his sword, this time even more wind than usual started to surround the sword. [color=#A9A9A9]"I'll give you a minute to think. If you decided that you wont kill yourselfs, then I will kill you."[/color]

[Gαr]

Ashe was about to retaliate when the vortex of wind him. It was enough to drive him back a few feet, but quickly blew it away with a burst of flame. [color=#800000]"Do you think that little breeze will blow out my flames?!"[/color] he said to the wing nightmare as he flare out his flames. Before he could attack, a hailstones struck the Knightmare and sent it tumbling down to the school. Fumore start to engage it, but was quickly countered. Ashe heard a song playing and felt a surge of speed go through his body. [i]Good ol[/i][i]' Concnetio[/i], he thought. [i]You can always count on him.[/i] Concnetio tried to attack the Knightmare, was stabbed in the shoulder. That angered Ashe. First, his former was taken out and then one of his students and Choosen Knights was stabbed. The Knightmare took to the air again, but Ashe wasn't going to let it get away. He shot a rather large fireball at it. The Knightmare dodged it, but that was what Ashe wanted. In the short time that it was distracted, Ashe was able to get behind the Knightmare because of Concnetio's speed boost, his skateboard, and a burst of flames. He raised his hand and said [color=#800000]"Burn in hell."[/color] Ashe then engulfed the Knightmare in a large burst of flames.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nancy knew that it wasn't exactly the best idea for her health, but in order for her to pull out her trump card, She needed to get all the hands to lock on on Acedia. Acedia was about to fire off some attacks at her, She prepared to fight as she already felt that something else was coming, but she could feel the hands murmuring to her, as if they want to be released to deal with the threat at hand, Then when Ashe tried to strike Acedia, Acedia moved out of the way easily [color=#006400][i]"Wait a minute... That ability... Could he be ripping off the Negima Manga or would that be..." [/i][/color]Nancy thought, but was interrupted when Hailstones and the Explosive Knife struck Acedia. [color=#006400][i]"That sorta eliminates that theory, But If I guess correctly about what this is... Drowsy voice, Seemingly fast, hell that Knife and those hailstones were like the speed of bullets.... I KNEW IT!!!" [/i][/color]She was about to speak up as bladed feathers shot at her, Fumore threw a shield at the feathers, but it did not intercept quite a few of them, Her eyes glowed red as around 8 feathers flew toward her, A Hand flew out her shadow and seemed like she batted the Feathers aside, but only batted about 4 of them to be exact. One feather hit her in the left shoulder, one hit her in the right arm, and the third hit her in the right leg, The fourth one Missed completely. The Impact of the Bladed Feathers may have knocked her back a little, but it wasn't that much and they were very painful and her Haphephobia only made it more painful, but the feathers did their job, She could feel her hands screaming to get out and get back at Acedia...

When Acedia made the taunt, Nancy ran ahead, floating above the massive hole on the roof, She giggled creepily before Ashe attempted a Fiery attack on Acedia, likely would be dodged, but it did not matter [color=#006400][i]"Now!" [/i][/color]She thought as her eyes brightly glowed red, Suddenly, She gained a Black and red fiery aura, She then said [color=#006400]"Well... I have to say this little one... I don't really think you are able to carry out your threat now... I'll give you 25 seconds to run off and scream like a little girl... Armatone!"[/color] After speaking, 2 Hands of Darkness wrapped around Nancy, starting from her feet and eventually reaching her head, then her arms, finally making the wings that she usually has in the form, She noted that the Transformation was going much faster than normal, taking only 2 seconds to fully transform compared to the 8 seconds back at home [color=#006400][b]"Nightmare Hand!"[/b][/color]. The bladed feathers stuck on her during the Transformation broke apart into black dust and disappeared, Nancy pointed and Glared at Acedia [color=#006400][b]"YOU!? You're Pathetic!" [/b][i]"Strike him from the left, Focus only on him! Don't even think of hitting anyone else!" [/i][/color]Nancy's eyes Glowed red as did Markings, She stuck her right hand out as 35 hands of darkness shot out of the Shadow of another building to the Right of Acedia at a fast speed. Her turning did not allow her to benefit from Concertio's Song, fortunately for Acedia, She then giggled and said as the hands were advancing toward Acedia [b][color=#006400]"That was about... eh, 7 seconds, Don't blame me, I'm horrible at math..."[/color][/b]

[TotalObelisk]

Charlotte could hear another set off footsteps running close behind her, looking up in time to see Adrian catch up to her and running surprisingly fast for a guy that looked like he could drop dead at any moment.

[b]"Me? I'd worry more about yourself if I where you,"[/b] she replied [b]"I'm gonna be fine."[/b]

Before too long they came upon the school gates and Charlotte looked up in time to see a winged figure burst from the roof. She came to a halt in the school-yard, gazing up at the figure. Just looking at the thing she was practically overwhelmed by a sudden sense of dread, he was far beyond the spiders they'd fought yesterday.

[i]One of the Knightmare seven already?[/i] Charlotte thought to herself.

It didn't look like the Knightmare had noticed them yet and seemed to be more preoccupied with the others already on the roof. Charlotte quickly formed a plan in her head, summoning her weapon in a burst of flame and turning to Adrian.

[b]"See if you can get up there and sneak up on him,"[/b] she said [b]"I'll try and catch his attention from down here."[/b]

With that said she turned back to the Knightmare and swung her weapon through the air, the whip extending as it went till it was long enough to reach the roof itself and hopefully the Knightmare as well.

[b]"Hey ugly!"[/b] Charlotte barked.

[ListenToLife]

"I'll be fine." Adrian stated, grinning a sickly grin as Charlotte formulated a plan. "Sure thing." Adrian said, changing his direction to a nearly perpendicular run, racing around the edge of the school. He was slightly worried about Charlotte, noting as he ran that she always seemed quite confident, though he was starting to think she wasn't as confident underneath. He shrugged, instead thanking his own power for allowing him to be able to run like this and actually make use of himself, despite starting to tire already.

He was thinking of his own plan, his own method of attack, when he looked up at the roof of the building and spotted Acedia, the Knightmare of 'Sloth', if his name was anything to go by. As Adrian looked at the angel like being, he was completely enveloped in a cloak of fear and uncertainity. He looked at the ghostly, demonic, angel like creature and fell to his knees, just watching as the evil almost radiated from the creature before him, almost visible to Adrian's eyes. [i]I cant do it. We cant beat [b][u]that[/u][/b]. [/i]Adrian thought, screaming to himself to run. But his legs wouldn't work. His mind would not think. His eyes could not look away. "Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t." He just kept repeating it over and over again, as if it would will him to move.

He spent the next 5 minutes like that, watching as the others battled the creature, seemingly unaware of that evil Adrian could feel, the darkness that seeped into Adrian from it.
[i]They are aware[/i]. Adrian realised, as he looked at the fighter's faces. "They're aware of the hopelessness, yet fight against it nonetheless." He muttered, before slapping himself across the face and pushing himself to his feet. "I guess I'll have to go along with it." He noted, before jumping upwards, landing on a window sill just below the roof, allowing him to look at the battle on the roof more clearly, without being seen, and with easy access to the inside of the school.

He made a quick not of where everyone was before quietly entering the school, positioning himself directly underneath where Acedia had last been, preparing himself for an attack - drawing the bones from the ground underneath the school slowly towards his point, needing quite a bit of effort - and waited for some sort of signal from Charlotte.

[size=3][color=#222222]Sakura had decided against staying where she was, because she couldn’t do any good. She had decided to help Fumore. [i]Nancy will probably keep his attention while I’m trying to get to Fumore[/i]. Sakura thought. She had left her hiding spot, and hearing Concentios song, she had felt a rush of speed. She ran so fast, she could almost not be seen. "Acedia seems to slow everybody near him, which would explain why that one girls hail had thrashed him, and allowed my knife to strike him." Sakura said to herself, and then she entered the crumbling building. She dashed up the stairs, and again, found a safe spot away from Fumore. Upon sprinting up the stairs, she failed to notice a piece of the unstable concrete fall, and as she stopped, the rock slammed into her skull. Shy fell down, and gasped for breath. Everything around her had begun to blur, and she had never felt such intense pain. She heard a ringing in her ears, and she began to lose consciousness. She said "If I’m going ill take you down, Acedia!" She threw 3 explosive knives, but with such blurred vision, she wasn’t sure if they would hit or not. Her eyes rolled back and she fell into a coma.[/color][/size]

Jason had been sleeping in when he felt a familiar ripple through the town. Slowly waking, up, he started to cast out his mind's eye to try and find any metal being battered. With a thankful sigh, he found some metal around the roof of the school being somewhat knocked around, almost like a suit of armour moving and getting pierced by something he couldn't detect. Looking around at the rest of the roof, he noticed several other pieces of metal moving around, mostly knives and swords, before settling on the metal inside some of the roof further across. Concentrating on that metal, he exerted his power on it, lifting it up out of the roof and into the air, where he formed a small amount of it into an eye shaped sphere. Quickly rumaging around his room, he found a flat, polished silver disk he had discovered the previous day in the ground near the coffee shop, and had pulled it out when no-one was around to try and find a use for it. Focusing on the new power he had seen himself using during his sleep, he used his power to reflect the image that was currently reflecting off that sphere he had just made at the school, onto the polished silver disk. Starting to exert most of his energy to keep the sphere up at the school, he quickly gauged the situation, before getting dressed, grabbing his metal knife and the disk, and leaving the house to start running towards the school.

Charlotte finally reached the battle and the first thing she did was to get the attention of Acedia. [color=#A9A9A9]"What, even more pest." [/color]Acedia said.[color=#A9A9A9] "Well then you will be the first one to die." [/color]Acedia was about to send a vortex of wind at here when Ashe shot a fireball, which missed, but was even more of a distraction. "Where did that-" Acedia was cut short when he saw three knifes coming at him, but by the tragectory they were going to miss. Too bad for him, when the explosive knifes were around him at waist level Ashe engulfed Acedia in flames. Detonating the knifes, but still containing the explosion so only Acedia would feel it. As soon as the explosion and flames cleared Acedia could be seen slowly descending. He had taken too much damage in just a short amount of time that he was too tired. As came closer to the earth, hands made of darkness shot out form the shadows. Some held him in place, while the others have a barrage of punches. It didn't look that they were going to let up either.

Fumore just sat there, amazed that even with newly found abilities they were able to master them so quickly. "I guess we may win this war afterall."

Concentio also layed there in the same room, trying to not faint from the pain. If he fainted his song will stop. "Just got to hang in there for a little longer." The Song of Speed only had about a minute left. "Come on guys, you can do it." he mumbled to himself.

Nancy let off a furious growl at Acedia as her Dark Gaze met him [i][color=#006400]"Finish him off before he can recuperate"[/color][/i] Nancy walked up to Acedia as some of her hands held Acedia in place while others were harming him, She said [color=#006400][b]"You! You're Pathetic, I'm not even using half of my power! You don't even deserve Wings!"[/b][/color]and as soon as she said that, 2 Huge, Black, BFS-Class Claymores came out from the palm of each of her hands, which she grasped each at the hilt with the help of 2 hands of Darkness. Nancy Grinned widely and said [color=#006400][b]"Lets Clip those wings! it's not like you'll need them!" [/b][/color]She Charged at Acedia and suddenly, everything seemed slow to her. She slashed at Acedia multiple times...

Acedia remained in the grasp of the shadow hands. He wasn't even struggleing after the barrage of attacks. In fact it looked like it was over, he was finally going to be able to attack once again. His though couldn't be more wrong. Nancy came at Acedia giving slahing him an incountable amount of times. His clothes was rippped, blood could be seen running down from his face, and his wings were partially torn. "Well I guess it is over for you guys." he Acedia said. With he exploded with tremondous force. The explosion only demolished the school. As if the explosion was contained there by something.

Concentio and Fumore just layed there watching Acedia getting attacked by a barage of attacks. Then they saw him glow, which was followed by an explosion. By instinct they both covered their face, oblivious to what was going to happen next. Next thing they knew they were under a dibree from the school. Concentio was unconcious, but within Fumore's sight when he awoke. HE was barely visible, the rubble was in the way. So Fumore made his way out of the rubble, then dug Concentio out of the rubble, who was still unconcious. Fumore stared all around looking for the other Chosen Knights, but not finding anyone. [i]"They must be under the rubble as well."[/i] he thought to himself. [i]"But what's really bothering me is why reality is still warped. He was defeated, so why isn't reality fixing itself."[/i]
