[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

((Pew pew Saber’s here!))
Saber was practicing something new, finer control of his windblasts. He condensed the wind to his fingertip and shot it off, accompanying the attack with a cinematic catchphrase “Bang.” Saber, more or less excited with his newfound attack practiced it, messing up a few, and getting a few, but missing his goal. Power that is more concentrated meant less aim. Then it hit him, perhaps if he used two, he would get his shots closer to the mark. Wind circled around him as he slowly reiterated his chant. Then he heard shattering glass and flew towards the noise. “Nothing like real life experience!” Saber noticed the concentration was beginning to jumble and de-stabilize and he started up the chant again.

“Bang!” Saber said as he flew in through the broken window. “Holy crap! What’s going on here!?” Saber said as his eyes focused on the female Erdgeist that was being attacked by Nephilim. ‘The enemy of my friend is the enemy right? And if Nephilim it my friend, then she’s the enemy.’ Without hesitation, Saber set off his twin shots of air, “Pew pew!” The tunnels of with zoomed right past the Erdgeist, completely missing her smaller frame.

((Saber doesn’t know anyone other than Trafalgar, Nephilim, Zorlo, and kind of Seiko))

Nephilim waited without a word as Suguri flew down to drop off Seiko. Nephilim usually wasn't a person to start a fight, but slowly, over the course of the day, even her goodwill was running out. When Suguri tried to take Seiko, that was the final straw. But she waited to for Suguri. But the moment she was about to unleash her Spellcard, Zorlo's Pyramid barrier cut her off from Suguri. "...What?" the Celestian muttered as she flew down to hover outside the Barrier, the effect of her Spellcard giving on ominous background to the deadly fight within.

It was about that time that the sound of the incoming Tau Fighters reached her ears. Turning back and flying up, she noticed James' Chimera attempting to get away as the Tau fighters flew toward it. "I've had enough....for one night. Leave.. my friends... ALONE!" she yelled as she skipped straight to her 'last' Spellcard. "Magicannon... 'Final Spark'!!" Her hands went forward and the very sky lit up as the massive column of Annihilation, like a horizontal Orbital Strike, tore across the sky. The Tau fighters never saw the Spellcard as the force was obliterated. ON the radar in the Chimera, the force of Tau fighters vanished in a wave nearly at once, leaving Nephilim the solo airborne thing around Particus Academy as her attack ended and she looked back down toward Zorlo and Suguri's fight.

"drone fighters destroyed commander" said the fire warrior with some static in his voice, "I see, tell Suguri to report to us, the cadre will crush them" said the Tau commander in his battlesuit, with that they began to mobilize.....

"falling back" said Suguri as she flew off, "those fighters were from the Tau empire" muttered James as he checked the wreckage, "drone fighters, they were remote controlled, I guess its time we head back to particus, I have a bad feeling this wont be over soon" said James as he offered the gang a ride on the APC.

"I'll be collecting the data from Suguri shortly" said the scientist as he connected her onto wires, "energy readings on the girl are off the charts commander Kais!" exclaimed the scientist as he looked at the results of Seiko's energy levels, "I've never seen such energy coming from a single being! Commander I insist that you bring her to me for study!" exclaimed the scientist as Kais looked rather annoyed by his ramblings, "would it not be best to approach a diplomatic solution before we send out our forces? After all mindless violence does not advance the greater good" said Kais.

Trafalgar hovered next to the APC and let out a long whistle at the destruction Nephillim had wreaked. Well, I feel overshadowed. I mean, I knew mages were strong, but Fizban that was impressive. I guess this is why those people who play those dice games say wizards are overpowered. He lighted down on the APC at James's offer, his feet hung off the back. "Zorlo, it's gone. I'm sure you'll see 'em again before too long. And you probably shouldn't be looking for more trouble than you already have."

[Zorolo]

Zorlo stood up as his Fin Funnels returned to his shoulder and his beam weapons vanished. His body had been ravaged by Suguri's fierce attacks. Between her bits and her beam rifle, he now had countless burns and open wounds. Blood ran from most of them where his muscle and biometallic bones were showing, and in a few places, no more than two or three wires were exposed and sparking from the blasts. "Leave me alone. It wasn't as if I acted recklessly with no regard. I know the individual frequency of every "normal" Erdgeist at this school. I tracked that one down since it wasn't in my database. Tied with the time, I knew that couldn't be a student. THe only logical solution from there was an enemy," Zorlo stated as he dragged himself off.

In total, Zorlo's wounds from the battle with Suguri included a heavily damaged shoulder, a burned abdomen, a blast through his right shin, countless small burns from Suguri's bits, and a slash across his cheek from her sword. It would take time for his wounds to heal naturally. Even as a new model, more humanoid Erdgeist, healing was limited in terms of time. At least he didn't need repairs, as that Suguri creature likely would have... had he dealt severe enough damage.

Is this really my limit? Am I really so powerless against an Old Type Erdgeist if I don't use THAT form? Zorlo pondered to himself as he dragged along. He needed to prepare. Between Bat's appearance and the arrival of that girl, things had gone from bad to worse. What was wrong with this school anyway?

[nekoryuuha]

Nephilim glided down to the APC soon after Zorlo began to walk off, her legs giving out to have her rather roughly sit down next to Trafalgar. She seemed almost ...listless, like her pinkness was paler as she yawned widely. "I guess Vash took more out of me then I thought.... I haven't had a single 'Final Spark' leave me like this since Marisa and Mima taught me those years she back..." she said to herself as she looked up through her hair at Trafalgar, giving him an Exhausted smile. "Hey... Is everyone alright...?"

[GamerKale]

He looked over at Dogan for a moment before looking back at Neph and nodding. "Seems like. You put on quite the show, I almost wish I could use magic just so that I could pull off something like that. But that does look pretty exhausting, and I enjoy mikuruing people. So I think I'm good."

[Kaori]

"Dont worry Zorlo, at least your still alive" said Seiko as she looked at the wounds then turned to James, "James you still havent given Zorlo anything for his work, and on top of that where did you get this APC?" Seiko suddenly realized that just now, "it was something I had delivered, and as for your second question I'll have yet to get a reply from mister Zorlo" James replied while driving the APC, "for now I think we can have him patched up back at particus, if not we could just inter him into a dreadnought" James replied helpfully, Drogan then looked rather alarmed at James' proposal "are you serious Mcleod?! I doubt he would want to be grafted onto one!" Drogan replied, "um excuse me guys but whats a dreadnought?" Seiko asked, "its a cybernetic coffin with arms and legs" James replied.


Dreadnought.

[nekoryuuha]

Nephilim shook her head. "No... You don't want Magic like mine. All I'm good for is destruction, Trafalgar..." Nephilim replied as her wings draped loosely around her. "I can't heal on my own. It's difficult to support too... In the end..." She yawned again she moved closer to lean against Trafalgar. "...I'm mostly just an Engine of Destruction. But I'm glad I was able to help. You're kinda warm, Trafalgar..." she finished sleepily as she passed out against him.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo stopped walking and looked back at Seiko and James. "It wouldn't work." Zorlo paused. "In fact, neither of those ideas would work... I know you haven't seen my specs, but I'm not a normal Erdgeist. My design isn't the machines you're used to. I'm more humanoid than I am mechanoid. Trying to merge me onto or into something like a Dreadnaught would be akin to grafting one of you to it. Unlike that Suguri girl, I'm not a mostly emotionless machine created to serve humans as an expendable soldier... I'm a member of a race of gaseous people who are seeking their freedom. Our fortune is our misfortune, as well, however, as humans make our bodies more and more organic, we become more and more dangerous to them... I fear..." Zorlo paused and rested his index finger and thumb against his forehead.

"Never mind. Pretend I said nothing. I'll send you a copy of my specs later, Mr. James. Reading them will allow you to make more sense of my body and design than me trying to explain," Zorlo stated as he stood up and leapt onto a roof of Particus and started off to the laboratory. His body would heal in time... he just needed to repair the damaged circuits he could.

[Kaori]

"see he can be interred into a dreadnought" said James triumphantly, "mister Zorlo a dreadnought is both a tool for battle and a life-support system" said Drogan,"it was designed to hold knights whose bodies were ravaged in combat but havent died yet" he added, "oh no matter I doubt this fool could even requisition one anyway" said Drogan, James was silent, "wait you did?!" Drogan asked in alarm, "well yes but I'll just have it sent back then" he said, "what in the emperors name were you asking them to send over here?" Drogan continued, "mostly vehicles and things like bolters, plasma weapons, lasweapons, and a stash of cyclonic torpedoes" finished James, they later on stopped in the front gate as he dropped them off, "have a good day!" he yelled as he drove off mowing down trees indiscriminately.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo pressed his index finger and thumb against his forehead with a sigh. "Do I LOOK like I"m dead to you. I'm banged up, but I can heal from wounds like these. As nice as a life-support giant robot may SOUND, I'm not interested. I prefer using my own strength... and being capable of touching and feeling things. Dreadnaughts are apparently more for frail things like you humans," Zorlo said as he looked at Seiko. "Miss Seiko, I'll walk you back to your and Miss Yuno's room. How does that sound?" Zorlo asked as he smiled at her. "Its on the way to the laboratory I use."

[Kaori]

"sure Zorlo" said Seiko but Drogan said "I'll come as well" with that they began to walk towards the school then Seiko wondered about James, "Inquisitor what kind of person is James?" she asked, "well from what I can remember he's rather lively for an Inquisitor, but I think its just a facade, you see he lost his family to the cult that summoned you and since yo look just like his sister should she have grown up I guess he's taking a liking to you" those words made her blush, "uh I think I'll go ahead" she said and ran ahead, "miss Usui dont run off without me!" Drogan yelled as he ran after her.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo sighed and looked at the two as they ran off. "I do not comprehend? Why did she run off?" Zorlo asked as he started to follow after them. What had Drogan said that had made her run off so randomly? The green haired Erdgeist simply continued following the two, somewhat showed because of his wounds. The man moved on somewhat quickly as he watched Seiko near the dorm she lived in. "I might as well tell Miss Yuno that her sister is safe. Probably for the best, right?" Zorlo asked no one in particular.

"Who am I talking to?" Zorlo asked as he shrugged. "I need to do some minor maintenance on myself, it seems... After I finish escorting miss Seiko."

[Kaori]

"is that why he's so... No never mind I'll just talk to sis" thought Seiko as she entered the room, Mira and Yuno were there with Mira rubbing her eyelids after Yuno's Bakunetsu God Finger attack, "what happened between you two?" asked Seiko, "your sister poked me in the eyes" replied Mira.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo moved quietly past the room and off towards a laboratory somewhere. He needed to make some changes... and needed to think. Things were getting quite interesting... perhaps he would have to leave the school soon. His choices weren't as numerous as he had once assumed. Still, Seiko was a friend of Nephilim's, and he would protect her for that reason. It was, after all, what he should do. It was what he needed, perhaps, to do. Even if Nephilim could do it herself, he would back her up as best he could.

[Kaori]

meanwhile Yuno received a fax concerning an upcoming transfer student, "this is interesting, Seiko would you go pick up a new transfer student in town for me?" Yuno asked Seiko, "I was just on a wild ride of my life sis I'm not going out" but instead of answering back to Seiko Yuno asked again "Seiko would you go pick up a new exchange student in town for me?" she asked again but with an albeit sinister look on her face "uh s-sure" replied Seiko timidly, "thank you" said Yuno, with that Seiko got the motorcycle keys and rode off....

With Drogan and James running after her due to James already having parked the APC.

[GamerKale]

Trafalgar looked down at Nephillim and shook his head slightly, saying softly to himself. "No, you're not." He picked Neph up as gently as he could when they came to a stop, it was a little awkward but he managed. I guess she's a heavy sleeper too. She needs the rest, I guess I don't have any choice. Not knowing where her room was he carried her back to his. Trafalgar set Nephillim down on the bed, careful with her wings, and went to his closet. I guess I finally have a use for this. He thought to himself as he unfurled the blanket and draped it over the sleeping girl.

Trafalgar's room was a private one, mostly because his bed was actually two pushed together. He flexed his wings once. It'll be a little tight, but I'm not waking her and I haven't used my bed for the past couple of nights and I'm going to use it. Trafalgar lied down on the opposite side of the bed, facing Neph. He whispered softly, "Sweet dreams, little cherub." and went to sleep.

[Kaori]

"whats up with transfer students nowadays just coming here?" wondered Seiko as she approached the bus stop, as she got closer she then noticed a very familiar person... No, ERDGEIST! "hey you're that erdgeist from earlier!" yelled Seiko at Suguri, "I am truly sorry for the trouble onee-sama" replied Suguri, her reply truly shocked Seiko, "er I thought you were some kind of loli killing machine, why are you nice all of a sudden?" Seiko asked as she drew out her C3 in case things were gonna get rough, "my papa said not to hurt you" replied Suguri, "and who is your papa?" asked Seiko, "he is known as Shas'O Kais" replied Suguri, "Shas'O Kais?" said a nearby voice, "sorry if we took to long, somebody parked the APC" said Drogan breathing heavily in his gas mask with James catching his breath nearby, "THE Shas'O Kais? As in THE Tau commander who led the Tau forces in the Kronus dark crusade?" James asked, "correct" replied Suguri "can we go now onee-sama? The Youkai faced man scares me" she replied as she hid behind Seiko from Drogan, "James whats a youkai?" Drogan asked James, "I think it means ghost or monster" replied James still catching his breath, "I'll have you know that I this gas mask has been faithful to me for over 7 years!" snapped Drogan at Suguri, "your scaring her mister Drogan" Seiko told him, "well if all that happened was a misunderstanding then I'm sorry for calling you an overpowered loli, come on lets get you to particus before the youkai gets you" Seiko told Suguri as she helped her onto the sidecar, "for scaring her Drogan you can walk back to Particus for all I care" Seiko told Drogan then sped off, "by any chance do you think we could hitch a ride on some truck?" James asked Drogan.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo sat quietly in the laboratory. He had fallen asleep there. As the green haired person sat quietly, his eyes closed, he had a dream. It was an unusual experience for Zorlo. What he saw, for as far as he could see, was a field of all types of flowers. Zorlo looked out onto them as someone seemed to run towards him. Still, as far as Zorlo could tell, the person running towards him... he couldn't identify who it was. The Erdgeist calls out to that person, but can't hear what he is saying. As that person enters the sunlight and begins to reveal itself, Zorlo found his eyes opening.

"Was that... a dream?" he asked as he placed his thumb and index finger against his forehead. "Was I asleep? Was that a dream?" Zorlo asked as he raised his head and looked at his wounds. They had at least, partially, healed. Formerly exposed bone and muscle were now covered by fresh muscle and skin. "Good, my healing is coming along nicely... I shall continue along," Zorlo stated as his fin Funnels floated up and onto his right shoulder and he left the Laboratory. "I need to check on Nephilim."
