" Fergus. Have you confirmed that there is no other person in the school?"
" Yep. The school's empty."
" Good. Alita, set up the barrier."
Alita nodded. She lifted her hand in the air which started glowing. She used her index and middle finger to write a mysterious mark that shot past the ceiling and hung up on the sky where more marks began steming from it till it reached the ground. A bright white dorm soon surrounded the school and then disappeared.
" Hey Liz, are you sure it's here?" Alita asked, uncertain whether the 'it' was there or not. Elizabeth looked at the ground and knelt on one knee
" It's here alright. I can sense bits of it's spiritual energy. Looks like it's not good at masking it. Fergus, Alita, on my signal you'll attack from below."
Alita's eyes glowed scarlet bright orange as a bow bearing flames appeared on her hand. Fergus' eyes glowed emerald green as his chest also seemed to also glow in a bizarre pattern. Around him, a deep green essence began to form.
Elizabeth got on her feet and at that moment the plus and minus marks on her neck as well as her eyes began to glow. Her hair turned snow white, white lightning forming around her.

Kane slowly climbed up the stairs, going up to the roof. Since the school's power was turned off, he used his phone's light to navigate the steps. After some time he made it, though the door was locked. Kane took out the bunch of keys and looked for one written 'roof' on it. Once he got it, he unlocked the door and sprinted to the far end of the roof, where the guard rails were. Next to the edge, his deck rested.
He had a sigh of relief as he bent over to pick it up. As soon as he rose, he was dumbfounded by the spectacle that was above him.
' No way. Why is the moon red?' He inwardly asked himself. last time he checked, the eclipse had occured a year prior and the next time it would appear was 4 years from that day. The crimson red moon gave him an unsettling feeling.
His attention was suddenly shifted to the opposite side of the school, where the gym was. There was a loud pounding sound that kept on getting louder and louder.
" Shoot, it's coming in my direction." The building was beginning to fall all the way from the west wing and was heading straight for Kane. As it crumbled, loud crash sounds rent the air as debris began flying towards him.
Kane didn't want to stay there much longer so he quickly got out of the roof and began descending the stairs as first as he could. When he reached the bottom, there was a sudden silence. Kane trod slowly and carefully as he could tell something wasn't right. And he was correct.
No sooner had he taken a few steps than a tall white haired woman crashed through the entrance, around her was a field of white lightning. Following her was a large crocodile like creature that was getting attacked from both sides by a girl shooting flame arrows and a boy in a deep green suit of amour.
All that happened so fast that Kane was unable to fully internalize what he saw. The people and the creature tore through the wall and landed on the central open area of the school. The hallway Kane was in soon began to crumble and Kane quickly ran away from the falling debris.
" Fergus, get that thing to stop moving!" Shouted Elizabeth.
The huge crocodile monster made a dash towards Fergus, tilting it's head to it's side and opening it's jaws to finish him. Fergus made haste to grab both sides of it's closing jaws as it pushed him and bashed him to the wall. The wall shook and cracked under the impact. The force of the crocodile's jaws began increasing. Fergus got a good grip of it and with much struggle, he lifted it by it's jaws till it's hind limbs were in the air.
" Alita, act fast," Fergus said. throwing the crocodile at the bridge that connected the two wings of the school, leading it to fall on it's back while shaking the ground and forming a large dust cloud.
Alita pulled her bow string, forming a flaming arrow in the process. She released it and as soon as it made contact with the crocodile, a huge explosion occured sending a huge gust of wind towards Alita.
As the burnt shards and pieces of debris fell, Elizabeth walked towards the croc and waited for the dust to settle before inspecting it. She got on it and began looking at it's eyes.
" It's dead. The job's done."
Alita held her chest as she slowed down her breathing. Fergus got some dust and rock from his suit and deactivated it, making it disappear and causing him to remain in his school uniform. He went on to stand next Alita. Elizabeth got off the belly of the beast and began walking towards them.
" You've done well. Beyond my expectations as a matter of fact." She gave them both a warm smile. Her white hair was slowly painting itself black. Her eyes and marks stopped glowing.
Kane who had been hiding in a bush nearby was beyond confused. Who are these people? Why do they have powers? And what's with the giant croc? All these and more he asked himself but the answers did not seem to come.
He popped his head from the bush and began looking at the trio. His heart skipped a beat as he saw Elizabeth among them. This raised more questions in his mind. He decided to go back home and just forget all that had happened. Kane stood and attempted to sneak out but he tripped on a rock and fell. This alarmed the trio.
" Hey there Elizabeth." Kane said, his face planted on the ground.
" Kane? What the hell are you doing here?" Elizabeth gave a deadly glance at Fergus as she pulled his ear." I thought I told you to make sure that there was absolutely no one else in the school but us?" She whispered to him in an angry tone. All Fergus could do was cry inwardly from the pain.
" You know, I snuck into the school to get my deck. But it's all good, I won't tell a single soul what happened over hear, okay?" Kane picked himself up and slowly began walking backwards.
" Kane, don't go. I can explain this."
" Nope I'm good. I'l just pretend I saw nothing."
" Perhaps we should just eliminate him." Alita suggested.
" I can make it quick." She pulled her bowstring, a flaming arrow soon formed.
" No. No one will be eliminating my little brother." Elizabeth interviened.
Alita loosened her grip on the bow as she lowered her head in disappointment.
Just then, a giant shadow formed itself behind them.
Kane called out to Elizabeth as he dashed towards her.
