Bloom was missing, and Sebastian was trying to open a portal into the Realm of Darkness to summon an entity that could raise the dead. There really was no way this could get worse.

Silva's voice cuts through Cynthia's thoughts. "The Solarians are on their way."

"Will they fight an ancient evil because we're too scared?" Stella question. Book clutched to her chest.

"If that's what we have to do." Silva nods.

"You can't be serious." Cynthia questions, looking at Silv,a her gaze scathing.

"We are outnumbered." Silva reminds them.

"I don't care," Terra tells him. Stepping up. "Bloom's inside, risking everything to save us. Musa's got no magic and virtually no fighting ability, and she's still there. My cousin spent last night surrounded by monsters. What's she doing? Cooking up a plan to kill those monsters. These are my friends. They're our friends. They need us. So, no, I'm not gonna be waiting for the Solarians. I'm not gonna wait outside my home for somebody else to save it. This is what Dowling would want. All of us, Alfeans, fighting together."

When Tera finishes, there is silence as they all take in what she has said.

Then Silva sighs, a long-suffering sound. "Who am I to argue with Farah, huh?" Silva muses. "No magic till we clear the scrapers, all right?" He warns them. Look at the fairies before he turns to his specialist. "Let's gear up!"

His words cause a hive of activity as people move every which way. Planning every move as people strap armour and weapons on.

They were going to fight. They were going to fight for their home. They were going to fight for their future.

Cynthia moves with the flow. Checking her weapons and getting ready. The plan was for her to attack with the specialists, as one more person was always better. But when Musa had taken down the Scrapers, the others would get Cynthia's attention, and he would go with them, into the school to stop Sebastian.

When it comes time, they line up looking at the place they had called home.

Cynthia stands with Silva to her right, Nox between the two of them. Kat stands to her left. She knows that Sky is on Silvas' right.

Then, with a war cry, they take off running. Their feet are pounding on the grass as they charge at their friends turned enemies.

They meet them in the middle of the training ground. Something that feels almost symbolic. But there is not enough time for that as Cynthia's fist cracks into someone's nose. Sending them sprawling onto the floor as Nox takes down someone approaching from her right.

Animals and humans work in tandem as they make their way through the field. Weapons are flying through the air as they make their way towards the school. Inch by agonising inch.
