"Shit." Ajit cursed under his breath as he ran to the school.

This was terrible.

Dan Kouzo, his boyfriend, was planning to murder people. No, murder even more people. He'd already killed three.

It had made no sense until half an hour ago, up until that point he'd had been wondering why Dan had done it, that had been when Dan arrived asking to talk to Ajit.

He'd been scared, a kill count of three and then asking to talk shortly after an argument? But there'd been no way out, so he'd done something else. He'd faked his own suicide in the hopes that Dan would go away.

It worked, better than expected because alongside Dan leaving, he also got an explanation as to why he'd done what he did.

"We've all saved the world so many times, we've saved all of their lives. Yet the slightest thing is enough to make them hate us all and treat us like shit and now you're gone... Well, don't worry, they'll meet a worse fate than you did, tonight, I'll make sure of it."

That was what Dan had said whilst crying beside Ajit's "dead" body.

Ajit knew what his plan was. Tonight a bunch of people who liked the Awesome Brawlers would be showing up at the Bakugan Academy to meet them. Everyone was going to be there and Dan had a motive to want to hurt them all, the people who had turned on the AB due to lack of trust despite them literally saving the world, the people who disliked the AB and wanted to oppose them, those who relied too much on the AB and never on their own strength and as for those in the AB and those friends with them... Well, it was clear Dan was beyond the point of caring if he ended up hurting or even killing his friends.

So he was running as fast as he could to the Academy to try and stop this before it even began.

He had an advantage, in that Dan didn't know he was even alive. But he also was at a disadvantage - Dan had definitely arrived at the building already; while Ajit had only just crossed onto Academy grounds.

No one was around, of course they weren't. He was late, faking your own suicide does that. Everyone else would already be inside the Academy's gym as it was the biggest hall they had and the only place suitable to fit so many people.

He had a feeling that Dan wouldn't be in that room though, he'd be in one of the surrounding rooms, above, below or to the side. He'd be in one of those rooms.

Ajit was smart enough to figure it out on his way there, Dan had a bomb. Of course he did, his dad worked for a demolition company. How else could he kill everyone who'd come to the academy tonight, there was going to be at least three hundred people.

Finally, he reached the open doors and slowed down as he entered. Panting for breath as his exhaustion from running the whole way to the academy kicked in.

"Ajit?" A calm voice spoke, "Dan was telling everyone you'd just committed suicide."

The golden brawler looked up, holding his side where he'd gotten a stitch, he was honestly unsurprised to see Magnus. As a new member of the AB, he had to be there, but Magnus and socialising don't mix, so it made sense he wouldn't be in the gym with everyone else either.

Either way, it couldn't have worked out more perfectly, Magnus was exactly who he needed to help him out right now.

"Yeah, well... Let's just say he was wrong." He replied.

Magnus snorted out a laugh, "Well, Lia put together a nice last minute tribute for you." Causing Ajit to wince, right, his other friends still thought he was dead.

No time to resolve that yet though. "Magnus, you've snooped around this place a lot in the past, what's under the gym?"

"The room Jenny Hackett used to use for her experiments, why?"
