Headmaster Krell
The headmaster stood in his office looking over a corpse. It was a male propped up in a clear testing tube of bluish liquid. Smaller tubes entered and exited its body as the dead thing slept. Krell stood directly in front of it, gazing with the observation of a curious older man. His fine green suit and salt and pepper hair reflected a man that looked more or less like a mobster upon the glass of the corpse’s tank. The headmaster’s curiosity of the thing was something.
It was such a mystery to Krell, and sent shivers up and down his spine with each glance. This dead man lying in a tank with tubes protruding from his body looked almost, if not exactly like an older version headmaster Krell. What the Shade were doing with this thing he hadn’t the slightest idea. He studied its face shape, its tattered clothing, and its body shape. Minus the overgrown white hair and beard it was a near exact copy.
However odd it was he was lucky he had taken it from the small Shade invasion while he had the chance. Were these invaders cloning people? If so they must have been failing.
“Oh, dear, how is it going out there?”
For a moment he had forgotten the horde of shadowy black creatures that had followed him to the island after he’d stolen this old dead artifact. “It’s just fine for now. We managed to push them out of the school campus.” The breathless female Student Council Head’s voice replied.
Krell sighed a breath of relief before covering the tank with a crimson curtain and striding over to his window. Out there was where the real battle was taking place. The echoing roar of his dragon Belial could be heard all across the island.
Stella Phelda Marx
The tall wooden doors of the Great Hall entrance were closed behind her. Eureka town still crawled with the shadowy black creatures. She ran with her polearm in hand, striking a creature known only as the "Shade". It disappeared in a cloud of black smoke near instantaneously. Luckily for her and the reast of the student council this was only a horde of lesser Shade creatures. Headmaster Krell's dragon Belial flew overhead taking on the Shade ships that were floating nearby.
Since she arrived on the island early as always the rest of the students should be flying on the school ship soon. They would have to clear a path for the entering students. She spoke into her wireless headset once more before using her powers of stirring wind to sweep a few more of the black creatures out of her way. "Headmaster Krell the students should be arriving any minute. The boat docks at the other side of the island. What do you suppose we do?"
"I'd leave strategy to Eliane for now. The goal is to get the students here safely."
"We should have the arriving students take up arms then? I'm not sure about this. Some of them are new. Some might get seriously injured."
"I've got that covered. Staff aboard the arriving ship should be informed by the time they reach the island."
Stella adjusted her headset in her ear before taking up her pole-arm once more. It was the student council, a headmaster, and "Alright Eliane," she spoke into her headset while approaching the gates of Eureka town leading out onto the grassy plains of the island. "How do you suppose we get the students here safely from the other side?"
She awaited Eliane's tactical strategy and stood watching the Shade ship flying overhead with what seemed to be hundreds of the lesser shade descending down from it.
Maeinardi Reyes
So what if she'd been held back a year? It wasn't her fault the school messed up her scheduele. Maei stood on the deck of the flying ship looking out into nothing but gray clouds. Her luggage was stored in the coffin carrier upon her back. She just wanted to hurry up and unpack her things. Snacktime was coming soon and she'd guiltily packed her favorite chocolate treat. She was both giddy and eager to end this trip as soon as possible.
She stood looking over the ship side, into the endless gray colored sky all around her. The clouds seemed to thicken more and more as the ship got closer to the academy. She could barely make out the floating island in the distance before hearing nurse Milly's shouting voice to students. "All Arma students be ready and armed! Magia be ready to support and Dominus stay with either depending on yoru situation! The headmaster says as soon as we land we'll meet opposing forces until we make it to the academy I want a tight combat formation!"
Maei looked at the commotion for a minute. Students were taking up weapons. Many of the shy ones stood frightened at the back. The decks of the transport ship were full of chaos. "What's going on? What's wrong?" she asked.
She got her answer as soon as the ship violently rocked from side to side. Maei stood confused. "Leap into action girlie!" A rough sounding voice escaped her lips as her hand puppet Mopsy pointed toward the floating island.
The first thing she saw was a dragon latched onto a foreign looking ship. The ship had gone down in a crash and the dragon seemed to be swatting at black creatures who seemed to pour out from it. "Oh the Shade? Why are they here?"
"Hurry and focus girlie the nurse said Arma in front!"
Maei took Mopsy's advice. He was the wisest, cutest, rabbit she knew. She headed to the section of Arma students ready to lead the attack. "Hurry now! As soon as we land we're charging to the town gates." she heard the ferocious nurse call. "Be careful and brace for the land."
The landing was harsh and the giant ship gave a thud "Oh! Mopsy I need a weapon!" She reached inside the hand puppet's mouth and pulled out a blade with a slight curve and a makeup of cold blue steel.
Students were pouring out onto the campus. Some with determination. Others hid on the ship refusing to go out into the alien infested campus. The school was a ways away from their landing zone. They would all have to fight their way past the lake and up through the hills into Eureka Town. "Aw this is seriously gonna interfere with snacktime" she sobbed rushing out with the Arma class hacking and slashing any black creature who crossed her path.
