He smiled weakly at the girl.

"I know.
I won't leave you, not like this.
I won't die right now." He showed a wolf like smile.

"Because you're one of the people I care the most about, and I can't bear to leave you alone."

"I'd prefer it if you said you weren't going to die at all..."

She took his hand gently.

"Because I..."

Just say it!

No... not after all it's done in the past.

Fight it.

Fight it!

No...

It's time...

Time to stop fighting.

"Because... I care about you too."

I still haven't said it...

But that's good enough for now.

Theriam smiled again.

"Well, I know what you're trying to say, and I feel the same way.
However, if you don't feel up to it for now, I can wait.
I'll wait as long as I need." He coughed lightly.

"Well at least, blood isn't coming out anymore."

'If you don't feel up to it for now, I can wait.'

'If you don't feel up to it, I can wait.'

'I can wait.'

'I'll wait as long as I need.'

She could have cried.

To someone else, those words would be... just words.

To her, they were impossible.

Beautiful.

Miraculous.

She hugged him, and then she did cry, whispering two words over and over again as she wept.

"Thank you."

Theriam looked surprised as she hugged him.
'Well, for once, I didn't really see that one coming.
Oh well, I'm not complaining.' He still smiled at her calmly.

"There there. It's alright. I'm here now.
Just take your time."

"There there. It's alright. I'm here now.
Just take your time."

She stopped hugging him, and just leaned her head on his shoulder, smiling.

She hadn't willingly been this close to anyone in a very, very long time.

She had almost forgotten how it felt, to be able to not be always angry and afraid.

This was what it was to be loved...

She hadn't realized just how much she missed the feeling.

The man simply smiled out of content.

"So that's how it feels, to be loved.
I guess it feels nice." He chuckled lightly.

"So, how does it feel on your end?"

"....well, that was...as weird as ever!"
Lucas said, exhaling a deep breath as the storm managed to mostly disapate, however Lucas was visibly more tired, and calmer than before, then immediately covered his eyes, accidentally seeing Mentari leaving from the shower.

Peaking from under his hand he saw she had returned with clothes, he then turned to Chess and said "Yeah sorry about that, I hate it when people wake me up, I guess you do too. But I can't sleep for awhile now. Do I have coffee or an energy drink somewhere?"

Lucas plopped down onto his bed and dropped Storm-sent as it folded back to compact mode

"How the hell did they get into our room?"

How does it feel?

How to put it into words...

Start at the beginning.

"I used to think love was a word. Just a word, the worst of the four-letter words, in fact. Just something you'd find in a dictionary or a fairy tale, not something real, not something I would ever know. I'd heard it used in... other contexts, but it didn't make sense to me. How could the things I was going through be called love? It seemed so wrong. So I suppose... it feels like a miracle."

I'm sorry, Adrian.

I've found love, but it couldn't be with you.

I hope you find someone else, and that if we ever meet again we can be friends again.

But I'll need to practice my chess skills, I think I've gotten rusty.

A happy smile spread across her face, a smile of true joy.

Something she hadn't felt in a very, very long time.

"How the hell did they get into our room?"

Aria left the room to get a breath of fresh air, after seeing Heamet so tired, she felt like she could use some freshening.

As she left, she heard Lucas speak from beyond the door.
"Ah, I may meet them later.
Oh well.
Time to fetch something to eat or drink.
Probably both."

Theriam continued smiling.

"So it is...
It's nice isn't it?" He gently raised his hand to meet Charlotte's head and pat her on the head a few times.

"You're adorable you know that?"

Reina spotted Leonard attempting to jump into the offense against Erde. It would be interrupting their discussion, and possibly ruin her chances of finding a way out of her current life.
So she did what she does best.
She moved into Leonard's path with a leap, her arm cocked back, tonfa ready to pound into something.

"Sorry, Leonard, but this is a time for talking. And you're far too concentrated on your perceived enemy for your own good."

She launches her arm forward, the blunt pointed metal end of the tonfa directed right at Leonard's face.

Although the teeth in the jar made it seem like so, maybe he let himself get clouded by his own anxiety.

"Well, if say you've told me the truth, no reason not to believe you.
After all, we did have a nice chat back then, no judging each other, no nothing.
Just a nice chat about the past and what was happening currently.

A shame you seem to have forgotten that.
Thought we could've talked again like that." He smiled lightly at her, then sighed as the blade were parried by Togami, giving him a thumbs up before making his Stand appear.

"The World." And so it appeared, yellow, two diving tanks on the back, humanoid in shape, with a diamond shaped helmet and a leg's width of knives on the right leg.

"However, if you're going to attack my students..." He chuckled lightly as he closed his right eye, making the left glow with a purple haze.
"You're going to have a bad time." With that, he entered the fight without his knife for now.

Leonard went silent as something inside his mind kicked in.
His eyes suddenly went blank as he ordered his Stand's hand to punch Reina immediately.
With a loud 'MUDA', the Stand obeyed and went for her immediately as he pulled out his knife and blocked the Tonfa.
(Reina CAN see the Stand, due to her Aura level, not because she has one, just thought I should tell you.)

"..." Not a single sound was even heard from him, right now, he was indeed far too concentrated.
However, it wasn't technically because of his own volition.
C.E.C, Congenital Excessive Concentration, a small form of autism that makes the patient overly concentrated with even small mundane tasks such as reading a pamphlet or even walking.
In this state, he wouldn't make any sound, not one from pain, nor for anything else.

He would be ominously silent until he had gotten rid of his prey.
Like a spider of sorts.

"You're adorable you know that?"

She flinched.

The words cut deep.

And his actions cut even deeper.

That was the sort of thing said to a child...

And to be treated that way was a painful reminder of what she had lost.

Reina uses the rebound from her blow being blocked to assist in launching herself off of the stand's fist after shift her feet to meet the blow while still in midair. Once she lands she glares at Leonard with a scowl.

"You're a real pain in the ass, you know that?"

She switches both of her tonfas into SMG form, and loads adust magazine from her belt into each. The rounds are made from a fusion of fire and lightning dust, perfect for maximum destruction on its own, made even worse by the high volume of fire her weapons deliver. As a student, accuracy was barely a consideration, but now, her ability to place rounds on target even while firing on full automatic is nearly perfect.

"So why don't you just die?"

Reina activates her semblance in full stealth form. Sight, sound, smell, even touch and taste are all blocked as she fully focuses her ability. She begins circling Leonard, waiting for the right moment to open fire.

Theriam suddenly widened his eyes.

'FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.... I said that out loud.'

Now you fucked up.

'No shit. Not only am I dying but I also fucked up.
Wow, can this day be the shittiest, let's see on the next episode of everyone hates Theriam.'

"And I take that back, you didn't hear it.
No buts, you didn't hear it, you did not hear it, it doesn't even exist.
Never said that." He panicked slightly at the thought of fucking up absolutely everything.

(Jumping on the Stand's hand is technically impossible for a non Stand user, but since you're going to give me a fucking hailstorm of everything, I'll just let it pass this once and say that she jumped off his hand.)

Leonard staggered for only a second before straightening himself back up again, still keeping an eye on Erde outside as he suddenly jumped off in the air, getting rid of the illusion.

Switch to Echoes ACT 3, Tusk ACT 4 or Hierophant Green, if you keep The World, you're going to get fucked over.
You need to incapacitate one of them.

'... ... ... Understood.' He spun in mid air and shot one of his nails down, hoping to get Reina off guard.
He couldn't yet switch Stands.

She smiled sadly, still cut to the quick, and his attempts to rectify the situation only reminding her more.

"If only it was that easy..."

She sighed.

"If only you could take your mistakes and erase them with a simple 'That never happened'."

Now her smile was bitter and filled with pain.

"But you can't. You can't change the past. You can't undo what's already been done... and once you make a mistake, you have to live with the consequences... maybe even for the rest of your life."

Theriam felt his guilt crawling on his back.

"I'm sorry.
I didn't think about it, I hope you'll forgive me.
Now, I have to stand up and try to find Leonard.
If I don't within three days, I'll die from cardiac arrest in a literal bloody agony.
And since I can't leave you, I'll find him.
So I can live on to be by your side, so you don't have to be alone anymore." He felt like he was going to have a bad time.

"How the hell did they get into our room?"

"T-bone knocked on the door. That woke me, and since then, I haven't slept a wink because of the damn ears." Chess said, angrily grabbing the twin black ears and giving them a tug. "So fucking troublesome. Anyways, before lights-out you and Em were discussing your weapons right?" Chess sighed, sheathing her blade. "I suppose I should introduce you to Chimamire Usagi, unless you have something else to do?"

Erde wasn't entirely sure what had simply happened... one moment they were simply talking, sure she was firing some swords through the air but it wasn't like her heart was into it.
It was a game, a way to pass some time until morning until she decided what to do next... she was still lost however as she remembered the bouncing of her seven blades hitting something... a wall maybe?; as some young man ran forward into open view and then fell to his knees exhausted after having blocking the blades... Erde couldn't help silently praise the young man. He had acted exactly how Adelly would have and went to protect his comrades even if it meant danger to himself unlike the other two... really such a failure as teachers.

But as Erde watched the blades hit the wall and stab sharply into the ground and then faded away like mist only to reappear at her side once more. She could see a quite a few dents and deep cracks running along its frame and flat but it would be able to take another hit for a singular moment before it would shatter but if she fired them they would likely shatter into a wave of small shrapnel. However as Erde watched Leonard suddenly advance she swore she could feel a headache coming on.

"I forgot nothing you... id...i...ot, wait did you just say i'd have a bad time?"
However the next sequence of event's even made Erde for a moment pause dumbfounded as she watched Reina suddenly moved to intercept. The stranger thing was watching Reina further kick off it midair and land flashing a glare at Leonard and then switching her tonfas to Uzi's before disappearing entirely.

So this is how she was able to eliminate her squad... I have to admit even I might have fallen if I hadn't just now seen this... Renia-chan you really can be quite scary... Ede silently thought as she continued to watch as Leonard as h jumped and then threw an arrow?, no a nail in a different direction. Erde lightly smiled and then gripped the curved blade in the ground and pulled it up as she wrapped her fingers around its hilt and then with her free hand opened it as another construct of a short sword formed.

As she gripped it as it actualized, she spun it around lightly within her fingers and then started walking... Walking towards the one who had stopped her swords when they were going towards the mice. As she neared his kneeling state and position she stopped spinning the blade and then flipped it once more to hold the blade with its hilt out.

It was not a short blade but a dagger crafted in some fancy but plain model with a full tang blade from grip to tip with a single sharp edge. As the blade lightly glittered various dust crystals could be seen having been infused and melted into the blade that she elegantly held with a single solid color of red. As she neared the young man close enough to slice him to bits with her curved sword, she stopped in front of him and then looked down at him with empty eyes.
She then silently crouched and then placed the strange dagger to his side and spoke. her voice soft but empty as if looking a something not human.
"A present for your courage in defending your friend's even despite the dangers. This 'dagger' is meant to be thrown, if it hits an object it will explode with a radius of two meters and destroy itself. Keep it or throw it away; It's entirely your choice but I hope that this may save your life one day...
if we meet again... I hope you show me your progress in the years to come..."

"Now then i'm going to have some fun... It's been ages."

As Erde then quickly got up she flashed a warm smile and then lightly turned on her heel and then walked back towards Leonard and Reina where ever she was. quickly in her hand she gripped her sword and then moved silently closer and closer towards Leonard ad co and then immediately with her free hand gripped one of the damaged swords and charged recklessly forward with a terrifying smile.

Quickly however with a gleam she slashed the damaged sword forward through empty air and then watched as the other six damaged blades flew forward on an intercept course for the falling Leonard. As they neared they shattered into a dozen jagged pieces each and flew dangerously onward spinning and wobbling as they meat further air resistance.

Reina laughed slightly to herself as she watched whatever it was that Leonard launched miss by a mile.

Did he honestly think he'd have any reasonable chance of hitting me by attacking blindly? I knew he was stupid, but this is too much.

She was getting ready to make her move on Leonard when Erde launched her attack. Forced to dodge out of the line of fire, she watched from the distance to see what would happen next.

Of course, I'd still love to get the final blow in on the pretentious idiot...

'I can't leave you.'

'So I can live on to be by your side...'

'You don't have to be alone anymore.'

It felt so wrong... these weren't words she understood.

And yet she did.

How?

How?!

She sighed.

"Come on then, baka, no dying for you."

Lucas put his arms against the back of his head and leaned against the wall while sitting on his bed
"Nah, I didn't get a good look at it...some name though. Let's see it then"

Lucas worked to keep himself awake and glanced around the room,
"Wait...if he knocked on the door..who opened it? Charlotte? I thought she was the first asleep."

He then rubbed his neck where Usagi's dull edge was pressed against not long ago and commented
"You really kept me from knocking his face in back there....or blowing a hole through the ceiling, Thanks I guess."

Ning and Sirina

Sirina just "watched" as chaos erupted. She had no idea what was going on. Sirina then watched as the lady who controlled the sword walked over to Togami. Am I really that forget able....

She took a breath before winking to Ning. Ning covered his ears as Sirina let out a high frequency and pitch scream. The scream was loud and unforgettable.

"I don't understand anything," Mentari confirmed, "so I suppose I'll just sleep on it."

And with that in mind, she hopped into bed, Eclipse folding into a small box beside her. Burying her face into the pillow, she fell asleep instantaneously, and couldn't be bothered for the next 8 hours. It was as if she had an on and off switch, with an automatic timer to boot her up exactly when needed.

As soon as the nail hit the ground, Leonard made part of the road phase away, likely getting Reina down, or at least surprise her enough so he could stop time.
However, there was one fatal weakness to his time stopping ability.
Should one have an Aura strong enough and the knowledge of what his Stand did, they would be able to move and attack him in frozen time.
Of course, at first, they wouldn't be able to do it for long.
The only ones that knew about it were Theriam, Ether, Ozpin and possibly Erde although it was unlikely she found out.

However, he saw the projectiles suddenly aimed at him and stopped time at the very moment they broke into pieces, he shouted his Stand's name as the flow of time came to a stop.
"THE WORLD! TIME HAS STOPPED!" He stepped on the ground and the very dust under his shoes stopped moving in mid air.

He dodged the attack swiftly and left shortly after reaching the ten seconds limit.
'No point in fighting those idiots anyway, I'll just get in trouble for no bloody reason, and for some reason I feel like someone is insulting me really hard.
Must be my imagination.
Anyway, I'm out, getting to Theriam is probably the best thing I can do for now.'

He stepped in front of the students that were peeking at the fight.

"You should get to the amphitheater, you'll sleep there until we find a team dorm room.
Just leave the place, you've seen how bad it'll get.
Just a head's up though, not my problem if you get killed now." With that, he left for the infirmary.

"I'm fine. Just a little winded is all," Togami replied to Sirina as she came to him with Ning nearby. The hunter-in-training made a feeble attempt at standing for a moment, but could not keep his balance and fell back to his knees. As the boy turned his head to the fight, he saw two teachers- the one that had bothered Charlotte and that asshole Theriam and another... That's Demeter, right?- in combat as the third woman, the one who controlled the swords, walked over to him calmly with a wry smile going across her face and a dagger in hand.

So, this is how it ends, huh? This is what I get for helping these fools. As the villain stood above Togami with the dagger in the fell clutch of her hand, he could not help but criticize himself one last time before... she knelt down to him and handed the boy the dagger.

"A present for your courage in defending your friend's even despite the dangers. This 'dagger' is meant to be thrown, if it hits an object it will explode with a radius of two meters and destroy itself. Keep it or throw it away; It's entirely your choice but I hope that this may save your life one day...
if we meet again... I hope you show me your progress in the years to come..."

Togami looked up at her, jaw dropping to the grass as she turned to go. This is... what I get for....helping these fools? The sweet irony of the silent way in which he confided in himself stood in the wake of his surprise like the great pillars that held Beacon academy from falling by at its foundations. A short inspection of the dagger that the woman had given him revealed to the boy a series of Dust crystals embedded in the hilt with a crimson blade that nearly matched that of his own blood.

The Murasaki heir's attention shifted back to the fight, where the woman who had given Togami the dagger began an attack with her damaged swords to have Leonard, by some miracle of speed or wit, seemed to almost instantly dodge it. Wow. That is unbelievable really.

"You should get to the amphitheater, you'll sleep there until we find a team dorm room.
Just leave the place, you've seen how bad it'll get.
Just a head's up though, not my problem if you get killed now." Mr. Demeter said to the group as he jogged off.

What an asshole! I'm exhausted and he just leaves me and his other students here to die! Togami's eyes burned with rage at the man before propping himself up on his axe and using it as a kind of cane to make his way towards the amphitheater.

Reina scowled and broke her cover as Leonard left. Things would have been far more entertaining if the fight had continued, but at least this gave her more time to talk with Erde. She tucks away her weapons into their carriers on her belt and turns back to the other faunus.

"To answer your question; I would like knowledge. Both about how to become stronger, and just what it is you're up to. I might be interested after all."
