As Adz held Xavier up, Amy Soon, came running towards them.
"We need help at the atrium ah..." said Amy, seemingly fearful. "All the schools have to help suppress the fire."
Adz and Xavier rushed to the scene. There was a great fire. Different people from all the six schools were using various powers to cease the inferno. There was a towering blob thingy throwing out water from tubes coming out from it's chest. It's undulating structure seem to ripple as it shot water, something organic. The Bio-Tech people were spamming water goblins to wash away some of the embers.
"It's cursed fire sia.." said Xavier. "It's very dark..."
Amy pushed Adz and Xavier to a side.
"Don't touch the fire! You will die instantly!" She exclaimed.
With a circular movement of her palms, Amy created an gargantuan orb and a glowing complex symbol appeared on the ground beneath her. A wave of blue fury pushed against the flames, but seem to have no effect in stopping the fire, but the glass of the auditorium doors shattered and a violent tremor was felt all around.
"Stupid SIDM witches can't control her power," said one of the Borealis - Sports and Wellness(Business) lecturers.
Then there was a jet of ocean spray from the huge blob things again.
Adz unleashed a dark wave from his pockets and enchanted the energy into his AK47+, and started shooting at the flames.
"What the hell are you doing?" Xavier exclaimed as he held his chest. "You're intensifying the fire la!"
"No... Look carefully dumbo! Hahahaha."
Silhouettes could be seen behind a the curtain of fire. Some of them started falling over as Adz shot randomly at all of them.
"Eh why got people sia?"
"They must be the ones casting the burning shit repeatedly, that's why the fire isn't going down."
At a distance, a hooded figure looked from above. With him, was another tall figure.
"Should we attack now?" asked the tall figure.
"No, wait until they exhaust their powers extinguishing the fire..."
Adz finally brought down the mastermind, but the fire still seemed to burn as furiously as ever.
"Hmm... What's wrong sia...?"
"There's someone else."
Xavier snapped his fingers and the bridge collapsed, causing the hooded figure and his partner to fall together.
The other people saw this and looked at the same direction. The hooded figure signalled to his partner.
"Prepare for... Karma Shift."
The hooded figure's partner raised his hand, and took out a blade and slashed off his arm. Blood spilled across the floor, and a symbol was formed by blood acrosss the ground.
Then the hooded man retrieved the arm, and spoke a curse into the air.
Adz quickly held Xavier up and pulled him away.
"Cover your ears, cover..."
A wave of fear spread across the ground. Experienced teachers and students immediately covered their ears knowing the blood curse. However, Amy who was caring for an injured student, was too late. As the waves rose across the atrium grounds, she exploded and fell silent to the ground.
But for those who covered their ears, realised this wasn't just a sonic spell, but it was a binding spell. Blood was spilled for the reason that more blood will be spilled. Adz and Xavier suddenly collapsed and started bleeding for some unknown reason. The guy who chopped off his arm was then joined by a Health Tech girl, she healed him and recovered his broken limb; fixing it back.
"I have too many supporters, and all of you... are but your own," the hooded figure spoke with a loud reverbrating sound. "Engineering students, hand over the hidden technology that was hidden from time itself! SIDM students hand over the chosen one, the one who can walk through time! Bio-tech students hand over the core technology for human evolution! Whatever I need, I need time! Time is what I desire forever."
Wakakakakakaka!
With that, he moved away into the darkness.
A few days after the terrible event, Adz and Xavier quickly gathered a group of SIDM comrades, and formed the sketch club, a resistance group that will stop the hooded man's actions. Hua Feng was made the VIP, for known reasons.
Of the group, one of them was not from SIDM. It was a girl who quit the DMD course years back. She was devilishly pretty, with grandeur enveloping all over her. Her name was GH, and not known as other. Few liked her for she was a very hustle-minded person. Moreover, nothing was known about her...
"Hi Adz..." teased GH, holding on to his shoulder. "You draw very well, how do you think I can improve moi drawing?"
"Erh...erh..." Adz broke out in a sweat. "There! Ask Hua Feng! He's damn good nowadays."
The event still seemed to boil over Xavier's mind. What spell could injure them all so seriously? In fact everyone at the atrium was afflicted by it. Amy sacrificed herself to allow a senior to survive through it. When GH came to Xavier, Xavier became angry for some unknown reason and slapped her.
"Don't disturb me ah!"
Rayiant was drawing some random stuff on his easel, remaining as silent as he was. Then he held his hand, where it was hurt a few days ago. There was an ugly mark on his right hand, and it seemed to burn as he thought of anything.
To be continued...
