The battle in the Lounge of Ramshackle Dorm continues to take place, Briar and her friends try to fight against the mysterious suited men that invaded the school, but none of their magic seems to be doing anything to them.
And just then, one of them zaps Briar, causing her to scream, "AAAUGH!" And ends up falling unconscious.
"Briar!" Tanzanite and Jasper cry out.
The others end up losing all their energy and end up being defeated.
"Argh... Didn't stand...a chance... Urgh-" Ace says in pain and collapses.
Deuce feels the same, "Urgh... Guh!" and collapses on the ground.
"Dag...nabbit..." Epel says before collapsing.
And soon, everyone has fallen unconscious on the ground, except for Trinket and Sereia, who are desperately trying to wake them up.
One of the suited men, then says, "Subject H subdued. Securing now." and walks over to pick up the unconscious Briar as her necklace falls off her neck.
Grim desperately shakes the bars of his cage, "Lemme out! I don't wanna go! Let go of Briar! Help!"
And soon enough, one by one, the suited men take their leave, taking Briar, Jamil, Vil, and Grim with them.
Sereia cries out, "GRIM! BRIAR! NOOOOOO!"
Kalim cries out, "VIL! JAMIIIL!
"Rgh..." Rook replies with frustration.
Kalim, Rook, Sereia, and Trinket, who are the only ones conscious, are forced to watch as their friends are taken away.
Rook takes a deep breath and says, "Kalim, we must tend to our injured freshmen. I will take them to the infirmary."
"But Jamil... Jamil's been..." Kalim says, in a panic.
"KALIM." Rook says, and grabs hold of Kalim, "You must calm yourself. Jamil has been abducted. You need to step up and fulfill your housewarden duties by yourself."
Moments later, Kalim calms himself and says, "All right. I'll go summon the other housewardens!"
But then, barely conscious, Ace says, "...didn't...pick up."
"Huh?" Rook and Kalim reply, confused.
"Called...Housewarden Riddle... but he didn't... pick up..." Ace says, before falling conscious.
Sereia and Trinket gasp in shock and dismay.
Kalim says in shock, "Oh no!"
A few minutes earlier...
At the School Stables, the horses begin to neigh in a panic and show deep concern. The students who are there, including Riddle, Sebek, and Silver notice the animals' behavior.
Riddle walks to the horses and asks, "What's the matter? The horses are rather agitated today."
"Maybe a big storm's coming. Animals can sense when something's not right," Silver suggests.
Suddenly, they hear a loud sound, catching their attention.
"What was that?!" Riddle questions.
The students part of the Equestrian Club talk among themselves, wondering what is happening.
Just then, Sebek rushes over as he cries out, "Silver! Riddle! Are you hurt?!
"We're fine," Silver answers, "Is everyone else all right?"
"Yes. All club members and horses are safe and accounted for," Sebek says, "What was that noise? And those tremors?"
"I don't know. My guess is that the school's barrier is under attack-" Riddle says, but something catches his attention, "What?!"
And soon enough, the strange suited men from the Ramshackle Dorm attack fly down from hovercrafts towards the stable rounds.
One of the men says, "Hexa Team, reporting in. Subject A is in our sights. Moving in for capture."
Just who are these intruders?! I've never seen their armor before!" Sebek says.
"They're not our allies, that's for sure," Silver replies.
Riddle steps forward and says, "I'd like to ask you something. Did you obtain permission from the proper channels when you came onto campus?"
The suited men remain silent.
Riddle sternly says, "Entering campus without permission is strictly forbidden. You are in serious violation of the rules! By my authority as Heartslabyul housewarden, I authorize the use of magic on these intruders! To battle!"
"Roger!" Silver and Sebek say, ready to fight.
Seeing the result, one of the suited men says to his crew, "Subject A is hostile. Requesting permission to engage." After a moment, he says, "...Permission granted."
"You dare to set foot on our territory without authorization?! Now you have nowhere to run!" Riddle says.
And with that, Riddle, Silver, and Sebek begin their first attack on the intruders.
