[Projeck37]

"Then what are we waiting for?" His eyes are fully glowing now.

[SOLDIER First]

"They're inside the ruins, Vornar."

[ragnarok97071]

"You go in there, you die. And they're surrounding the thing."

For a moment, everything is still. Then, with a shout, the twelve rush forward, and battle is joined.

The creature twists and moves faster than anything its size should be able to, moving faster than the group can even track, let alone react to. But the fighters approaching it are fast as well, blades lashing out, meeting with claws in mid-strike.

Sparks fly, and battle is joined, a hellish clash that just seems to drag on and on. Blasts of magic hammer at the creature, wounding it, but it seems only angered, lashing out with a claw... [72] and peircing straight through one of the attacker's chest. White fire consumes the woman in an instant, the air filling with her final, tortured scream.

[SOLDIER First]

Lyle looks away.
That is messed up.

[RangerCado]

Selina pales, her entire body shaking as she covers Angel's eyes. She shouldn't see this... she shouldn't be here... Selina's eyes are flashing yellow faster and faster now.

[Projeck37]

"Shit.." Isaac's eyes instantly stop glowing, at that sight.

[ragnarok97071]

"This is why we're here.

Not to help you learn by watching them.

To make sure you know what you're getting into.

This life... it's hell. It's horrible, and at times it won't seem like it's worth it.

In fact, it's kinda not. Our lives are often nasty, brutal, and short."

They continue to fight, driving back the beast [62] and managing to wound it, a gout of flame singing one of its legs. [17] one of the fighters gets eager and charges in, [84] and is completely annihilated by a blast of star-bright flame from the creature's toothy maw.

[SOLDIER First]

"So we're here to watch people die?
Basically?"

[Projeck37]

Isaac gets several thoughts running through his head.
What if Sam and I want to get married some day..
Is this really worth my life?
Do I want to give up everything in the chance of possibly getting killed in combat?
A million more run through his head, but decides he needs to stick to his goal he originally made before going to this school:
'I want to save lives, even if that means giving my own for the better of the majority.'
He has an obvious thinking look on his face.

[RangerCado]

Selina looks away, covering Angel with her body. Why was she here? Why were they here!? Selina's eyes had turned a bright yellow now, with small flashes of blue behind them.

[SOLDIER First]

(random voice in Isaac's head)
MARRY SAM AND DIE.

[Harbingerjm]

"So much for the mission fatality rates we were told about earlier."

[Projeck37]

Isaac obviously knew it was too early to think about marriage with Sam, but just what if..
Where the fuck did that voice come from..?

[ragnarok97071]

"Like I said, this is a worst-case scenario. This thing's already eaten everyone in town. If we'd gotten here earlier, it'd still be much lower in power. When that happens, hardly anyone dies.

Yeah, this sucks, but..."

Suddenly, a figure breaks out of the Melee, a woman, golden tresses flowing behind her as she dances through its guard.

"In the end..."

[2] The creature reels back in response, tripping over itself as it attempts to gain distance.

[73] And the woman buries a sword in its chest, unleashing a massive blast of dark energy which forms the shape of a twisted, jagged cross impaling its form.

"We win. We kill them, we bring them down, and we keep them from getting a foothold.

We beat them back. Because we're the only ones that can.

So this is your last chance."

The cross shatters, black rose petals falling to the ground as the creature's form flares brighter for a moment, then fades, sinking into the ground.

"If you don't think you can do it, if you'd rather back out now, just say the word, and you can leave. We'll wipe your mind of any knowledge of the school and send you home, and you'll never hear from us again... unless one of these things comes knocking, that is.

Or you can stay. Train. Fight these things, and keep them from hurting innocent people, people who can't protect themselves.

Because that's what we do. That's who we are. Because noone else can."

[SOLDIER First]

I'm just kidding, you can marry her.
It's Wolf by the way.

"I thought this was just a school, like Toadblatt's.."
((yay cartoon references!))
"I'm still in, though."
