Dill was pinned on the ground by a Spyder inches away from ending him.  He braced himself for the incoming blast but Pat came running in the hallway with a chair he took from the classroom.  He hit the Spyder over the head, then hit its side making it fall off of Dill.  The Spyder tried getting up but Pat ran over and kept banging the chair against it.  Dill got up and the chair broke, but Pat took one of the chairs legs and kept bashing the inanimate creature.
"Hey, um, Pat... I think it's dead."
Said Dill.
"Oh," Pat said, breathing heavily, "Why yes, of course."
"Come on, we gotta get out-"
A huge BOOM echoed through the school, and the ground started shaking.  Dill looked towards the noise and saw a wall get knocked down and a huge, blue creature burst into view.  It had orange lips and only two, big feet with three toes with huge, sharp nails at the end, and short legs, not even the size of it's feet.  It's legs connected to it's head which had orange spikes on top which looked like shark fins that were lined up on it's head.  It's head/body was just a blue circle the size of a huge wrecking ball.  It had big red eyes, similar to Kiki's, and a tail with a yellow underside.  At the end of it's tail was a dangerous looking metal cube covered in sharp spikes.  It ran towards them and Dill and Pat were forced to run as fast as the could back to the exit.
"Dill!" Pat yelled.
"I know, tell your parents you love them, you say it to me all the time when I see you get chased by your neighbors dog at the bus stop."
"No, well... Yes.  But I was going to say you should use your water magic stuff!"
"I'm not even sure if I know how to use it, it's all new!"
"Just try!"
Dill splayed his hand out at the huge monster chasing them and focused.  Only a trickle of water came out from his fingers.
"That's all?" Asked Pat, obviously unimpressed.
"Well, I guess!  What'd you expect a flood?"
Suddenly more water poured out of Dill's hand and it made the Circlesaurus trip and fall.
"That's not enough!" Said Pat.  "It's still alive, we gotta kill it!  Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes... We run out and hopefully the new people I met will have a chance of defeating this thing."
"New people you met?"
"Yeah, they're from another dimension, when I disappeared this morning."
"Oh... That was pretty weird, I actually skipped school today to find out where you went."
"Really?  What about everyone else?"
"They just, forgot it even happened I guess."
"Oh."
They were near the doors but the monster was already up and running again.  Dill pushed Pat to the ground and threw himself down as well.  The monster had spun and its tail with a spiked wrecking ball at the end flying over their heads.  At this rate, Dill didn't think he'd make it out in one piece.  Pieces of wall and dust flew around preventing Dill from seeing clearly.  He heard yelling from his right but knew he'd get dust in his eyes if he tried to look.
"Going off without me?  What were you thinking?!" Said Kiki as she kicked through the glass doors at the school entrance.  She saw Dill and his nerdy looking friend coughing on the ground and what seemed to be a Circlesaurus, if she remembered correctly, coming viciously towards them.  It opened it's mouth, revealing it's sharp teeth and the big chainsaw it had as a tongue.  Kiki ran towards it and decided to use her most powerful and most used flying sidekick.  She aimed for the eye and jumped up and forward toward the Circlesaurus.  It was so focused on Dill and Pat it hadn't realized the kick coming its way until it was too late.  Its pupils surrounded by a red ring looked at Kiki seconds before her foot had hit it.  Kiki was spot on and just like her eyes, as she thought, it of course had a layer of protection impossible to see with the naked eye.  Since her species eyes were known to cover most of their face, it was only fair that they were covered by an impenetrable, invisible layer.  It was the only reason she was able to see in this dust-filled air.  It did bounce the Circlesaurus back and take the attention away from Dill and his friend.  She ran further into the school to lead it away from the partially injured Dill.  It followed her, knocking down the walls at it's sides.  Kiki saw it jump up at an incredibly high height,  while making a huge hole in the ceiling it crashed through.  She regretted not having X-ray vision, because it scared her she couldn't see where the Circlesaurus was landing.  She kept running forward.  After a few seconds the ceiling above her was obliterated, and two, blue and three-toed huge feet came through.  Kiki was able to dodge the two giant pieces of debris that came inches away from squishing her.  However, when the Circlesaurus's tail came smashing down, a piece of the white and green marble floor was ripped out of the ground and launched at Kiki.  She didn't see it coming and it pushed her forward and pinned against the ground.  She had to think before this thing killed her.  Think of a weakness.  Kiki was decently strong against medium sized opponents, she knew that for sure.  But that was because of technique and practice, not strength.  She wiggled out from under the piece of the floor with ease due to her small, circular size.  She stood her ground and sized up the Circlesaurus, looking for strategy and advantage.  It got closer and stopped a while away from her and twisted it's body left, winding up it's tail for a swing.  It was then Kiki saw her opportunity.  She acted fast.  She took a step and sprung forward and kicked the huge piece of marble floor she was once stuck under.  It didn't go far enough to hit the Circlesaurus, but it was pushed right in front of it's left foot.  As it twisted back to spin Kiki had to duck under it's giant tail.  She watched it's left knee buckle as it went to step due to the floor in it's way that Kiki had pushed there, and it fell into a kneel on the ground.  It's tail, still swinging, kept going and went around the Circlesaurus's back and it's spiked end came around and into contact with it's face.  The spikes stuck pressing into it's face and the Circlesaurus fell stiff, not moving.  If read correctly, Kiki should be going a safe distance away from it at this point.  She ran into a classroom behind her that's walls were luckily still intact.  She peeked through the door and watched as the dead Circlesaurus exploded with air.  It popped just like a balloon with nothing but compressed air.  The end of it's tail remained for a while then blew with acid.  It's explosion radius was surprisingly very small.  She could've been standing right next to it and she would've been completely fine.  She saw Dill's friend walk up behind the exploded Circlesaurus and toward Kiki.
"What just happened?!  This is against all Noventine Bulertin's theory!  I should write this down!" Said Pat with a high level of enthusiasm.
"Where's Dill?" Asked Kiki.  Pat knew how important his answer was by her extremely serious face and tone.
"Umm... Where I left him, back there."
