"Sorry, but I can't allow you to stay here anymore. It's time you head back to the bottom of the sea."

........

"He...he tried to take my powers....but it didn't work....why?"

......

"Now hurry up! There's no time to waste!!"

(Note: before you start reading, there will be a huge-ass fight scene later on that'll get kinda graphic in the videos as the scene goes (mainly the third video). WATCH AT YOU OWN RISK. You have been warned beforehand.)

Scarabia was engulfed in a sea of control. With Jamil as its tyrant, all was submitted to his rule, now that he was in power.

"All is in your rule, master." The students said in sync.

"All hail the true ruler of Scarabia."

"All hair Sultan Jamil."

Jamil basked in the praise.

"He's handsome..."

"Tall and terrorizing..."

"Angular....intelligent."

"Well respected!"

"And strong!"

"He is...flawless..."

Jamil smiled. But once he realized the familiar tone of the voices, he stopped altogether.

"Summoned a river and swam our way!" Kalim declared.

"Too far of a distance...I'm beat..." Floyd groaned in slight pain.

"Seems he has nothing but contempt for your magic." Azul fixed his glasses.

"Jamil....I've seen what you are truly: a traitor and a liar! It's thanks to Charlie I was able to see the light! No pun intended..." Kalim states.

"I challenge you to a fight for the Dorm leader seat that you've stolen....and I'll take it back no matter!"

He stood from the throne.He cackled.

The boys and Grim did all they could to stop the monster before them, but he was too much in control for them to topple.

"How long was he holding back?!" Azul Wheezed.

"I....I won't give in!" Kalim struggled to stand.

Jamil gloated.

"....But I can!" A voice challenged.

Jamil looked up and saw a figure emerge from the shadows.

A dark brown sleeveless tee with black accentuations across the neckline and sleeves fluttered under a sleeveless leather jacket. Jeans shorts peeked under a sash of yellow and black, with the Savanaclaw Insignia on display, tied at the waist. Black heeled boots clicked against the stone flooring. Hands clenched into fists, stretching the black fingerless leather gloves on her hands. And her neck elongated by a collar of different colored beads. With a small white rabbit's tail and ears to match protruding from her head.

"Charlie..." Kalim gasped.

Jamil smirked.

"I won't ever forgive you for using me and trying to take my powers." She spat as she stood her ground.

He reiterated.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, snakes coiled around the five strewn on the ground. They yelped as their wrists and legs were bound by the coils of the serpents.

"No!" Charlie gasped.

Jamil taunted towards the grey-eyed male's angered facade. His hands clenched and the snakes wound tighter around him. He let out a shattering scream, feeling his insides meshing together.

"Don't hurt them!" He kept his smile as he drank in Charlie's scared face. Looks like the shadow creature wasn't lying. She did have one weak point.

She backed up at his offer. "What?!"

He spat.

"Never!" She sneered.

He narrowed his eyes, and raised his hands, forcing the snakes to wrap tighter around their victims. They all screamed in pain, like their bones were breaking into tiny pieces. She didn't know if Grim was starting to turn blue, but just hearing them being tortured have her so much fear.

'Think before you start to act' the sentence echoed in her mind.

Staring carefully at Jamil, she spotted the gem on his collar with careful sight. Then, the railings.

'The only way you're going to overcome those fears is if you take that jump of faith. How else will you spread your wings and fly...'

She had to try.

"No, wait, stop!!" She begged. But Jamil gave her a stern look, knowing she couldn't win... "I'll...I-I'll be your Queen!" She gave in, dropping her head in defeats.

Azul, Jade, Floyd, and Kalim looked at her with surprise written in their eyes. She was giving up?! Like that?!

Jamil smirked. He released his hold and the others dropped in relief as the snakes slithered away. He held out his hand, beckoning her to him.

Without looking up, she slowly trudged forward, never once taking her eyes off the ground. Her hand was taken into Jamil's and he placed a kiss on the back of her hand.

She was silent for a while. "...Jamil...?" She whispered.

He cooed, lifting her up by her chin to look into her eyes. Only to be met with a smirk.

"Crossed fingers behind my back don't count."

Jamil's eyes widened. But he couldn't comprehend what came next:

Charlie lunged forward, and locked her hand around the jewel at his throat, scratching his neck in the process, and blindly wrenched it off the choker with brute force.

Jamil stumbled forward, as Charlie pushed him away and ran for the railing.

One foot landed on the top, following the other.

"Charlie, NO!!" Kalim yelled. But it was too late as she jumped forward, screaming as she fell.

The guys held their breaths in fear as Jamil leaned over, seeing she disappeared.

Only to be met with a carpet whooshing by.

"Woohoo!" She cheered as she flew off.

Kalim smiles in relief, as the Octa three sighed, their little siren safe from the fall.

Jamil screamed. The mind controlled students started running after the flying carpet.

"Thanks for the catch!" She smiled as the wind brushed against her skin. "Now let's get to the courtyard!" She tugged the tassels and the carpet obeyed, propelling forward.

Landing over by the fountain, the students started to swarm the area.

Charlie jumped from the carpet and started to fight.

It seemed her clothes knew ahead of time of what to shift too, for the Sanavaclaw gear made her combatant abilities stronger and faster. Was it through her years of training? Or the fact that she has rabbit ears to sense oncoming enemies from behind her? Either way, she was ruthless on the battlefield, as one body fell after another. She may have broken someone's arm at this point. Drop kick, dislocated leg, anything and everything, her body moved like a dancer on stage.

When the next person fell, she got up to catch her breath.

Azul, the Leeches, Grim and Kalim watched in awe at the performance Charlie had displayed.

"Whoa....is that really Charlie?!" Kalim was astounded.

"Who Else?" Grim Shrugged.

"Wow...Koebi-Chan is really not so cute when she's fighting..." Floyd shook.

But the next wave came as soon as it started.

But these ones were stronger than the last, catching her off guard. At one point she got kicked back, but recovered after her backward roll. And continued beating ass. And might've broken some teeth as well.

But when backup arrived and surrounded her, she was in a pinch.

One ran at her, with a kitchen knife in his grasp. He proceeded to stab her, only to be her with a gloved hand holding back by the shoulder.

"I think it'd be wise if you don't stab a lady while she's down." Jade kept his cool. He wrestled the knife from the student's hand gently and then kicked him down.

Someone ran at him with a blunt stick, but Jade merely moved a step before stabbing him in his arm and put him down.

"Since when did you learn how to fight like that?!" Charlie asked, amazed.

"You'd be surprised what you can learn from the Internet, Charlotte." He smiled, holding the knife like a delicate rose in his hand.

She smiled back, snorting. He walked up to her and held out his hand.

"Need an assistant?" He asked.

"I prefer the term, 'partner in crime' thank you." She joked as he was lifted up after taking his hand, eyeing the students running at them.

"You go right, I go left?"

"Works for me."

From there, the two proceeded to go all Kick-Ass on the zombified students.

Charlie was more flexed out with her arms and legs, but Jade was a menace, while looking suave at the same time, ladies. But what Charlie didn't know was that after the events of Azul overblotting, they had watched her practice self-defense from time to time, growing fascinated at what the human girl was capable of. While Floyd was interested in just beating people up for the sake of it, Jade was invested in her choreo. Her body moved like it was with the wind or against the current of the ocean, and he applied it towards later training. Without his boss knowing, of course. Now he had a chance to put his skills and analyzation to use.

Cuts on the arms or legs, stabs to the person attacking, but nothing too lethal (he didn't want to cause someone's death, unless it was intentional), and came out victorious.

Charlie panted while wiping the sweat off her forehead, "Nice moves. You should teach me sometime."

"I think you're already well-trained as always." Jade shrugged. "Leave the dangerous things to me or Floyd. After all....I'm simply one hell of an assassin."

"Assassin in training." She corrected. "You've quite long a way to go. But it's a good start."

"I appreciate the honesty." He accepted her critiques.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Cmere, you!" A student dragged Azul by the hair after he and the other gave a thorough beating to the second year leader while the others were distracted. They held his arm up and out to the side, holding him back while another prepared to drop the hammer. Literally.

Charlie turned in time to see the hammer fall.

His elbow snapped inwards, and Azul screamed in pain.

He cried as salted tears mixed with the blood trickling down his forehead, as he was lifted off the ground, the students hand raised in the air, and he braced for impact.

But it never came.

Cause Charlie, in a blind rage, tackled the student with a ferocious roar and started going . Someone dragged her off and held her back as another went to attack, but she made quick use of them.

The last students regrouped, as she stood in a defensive stance in front of Azul.

"Is he okay?" She asked Jade, not taking her eyes off them.

"He's fainted." Jade said bitterly.

"I can heal Him!" Kalim kneeled and proceeded to cast a small healing spell.

"You protect Azul. I'll murder these assholes." She growled in a deadly tone.

And that's when shit hit the fan.

Charlie went animalistic on these guys. And it was too long before they started coughing up blood.

Two had surrounded Charlie, and proceeded to overpower her, but Charlie was too fast. She was too blinded by anger to think straight and only had one thing on her mind: Kill anyone who hurts her friends.

After dealing with one guy, She had cornered the other, the one who injured Azul, and lifting his arm in the same manner as Azul and brought the heel of her boot down HARD on his elbow, snapping it from its joint. He screeched in pain. She added more salt to The wounds by bending his elbow inward, and grabbing his face, dragged it along a stone wall, painting it blood red, screaming like a banshee.

She dropped the body, feeling hers twitching in pain, and she stumbled to keep her balance. She started heaving, on the verge of throwing up, and leaned against a pillar. Her vision started to blur....

She tried protecting herself from someone behind her, but due to her vertigo, he bitch-slapped her back across the face. Putting her in a headlock, he proceeded to choke her as the first student limped his way towards her. He went to strike her, but a hand held him fist back.

"You dare hurt my dear Koebi-Chan..." Floyd said in a deep voice, his eyes lost all light.

If you thought Jade was cruel, hoo boy.....well...Floyd was more sadistic. And he stabbed that guy in the shoulder with no mercy with Jade's knife.

Charlie reared her head back, head butting the person behind her, and kicked him down, running to help Floyd, who had lost the knife in battle, and was wrestling with the student. Charlie swiped it from the ground and ran to the guy, dragging him up.

Panting wildly, she raised the knife in the air, preparing to stab him in the neck.

Floyd got up in his elbows, but something made him freeze in his spot. Charlie's eyes weren't the same familiar amber he grew familiar too. No....

They were practically BLOOD RED. No ounce of humanity within them, but murder and a sadistic-like glee lingered in the crevices of her pupils. It's like she wasn't herself.

Floyd's breath caught in his throat. He whimpered at her murderous aura, catching his twin's attention, who froze after following Floyd's line of sight at the girl. And somehow, he wasn't sure how she managed, but Jade felt dear creep into his heart at the sight of her blood-soaked body, standing in all its twisted glory.

"Yes...yes....do it! Embrace the darkness, my dear! Release your anger!"

But she stopped, her smile gone.

It sounded like it was the same voice that was calling her....from before...

She turned to see Jamil. But the whites of his eyes looked completely red.

"What the hell..." she choked, losing her grip on both the knife and the student, who had passed out along with the other fallen bodies on the floor. Her eyes flickered before returning back to amber.

Jamil shook his head in pain, only to feel it return.

"I've had enough of you, boy! You turn your back on me, after all I did for you. And now it's my turn!"

"BE SILEEEEEEEEEENT!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Jamil screamed, his voice a mixture of his own and the other voice, as a pillar of darkness engulfed him, flying high into the air. A shadow emerged from his body.

"Jamil!!" Kalim screamed, running to him.

"Kalim, no!" Charlie held him back. "It's not Jamil!"

"What?!"

"It's something else..." she shook.

The pillar faded into nothing, as Jamil's body stayed still, and slumped in a heap to the floor.

"No!!" Kalim cries. Breaking away from Charlie, he ran and kneeled against his friend, still tainted by blot, but merely fainted. "Jamil! Jamil, please!! Wake up!!"

The giant shadow she saw before was now looming over the entire field, his menacing eyes scanning until they spotted Charlie.

"I know you're there. It's no use hiding behind your prodige."

Charlie's body went still, eyes shut and reopened, but this time, they were a brighter yellow than normal.

"It's been quite a while, hasn't it Ophelia?" It smiled.
