?????? P.O.V.

I begin to skim the tree line. It's my second visit to Yokai Academy.

The place my nemesis lies.

I wonder... why is it that I feel this writhing hate?

Is it because of the ancestral rivalry that originates to my ancestor, and his?

Or is it because of all the times he's left me to die?

...I suppose it would be the former. I was just like him before my loyalties picked a different bed to lie in.

We were both Dark Jedi. We never followed the original code. That was for the weaker Jedi, who would spare their enemies at the risk of their own lives. The only exception would have to be Lord Vader BEFORE he joined the Sith.

I am left to ponder these things as the little redhead from the meeting runs into me. She falls over, flat, dropping her package.

I drop one with the same wrapping from within my cloak as a placeholder. It's time to make a switch.

(Kokoa) - Rrrgghhh... Watch where you're going, Jackass!

...how charming.

(??????) - I'm sorry, Miss. Please, don't mind me. I'm sure you have important business at the school to attend to. I'll stay out of your way in the meantime.

(Kokoa) - Yeah, and you'd do well to. C'mon Ko!

(Ko) - C-coming, Miss Kokoa!

She grabs the placeholder package, leaving the real one behind.

(?ar??s) - Well, now that that's over and done with...

I pick up the package, and open it, grasping the contents in my mechanical hands.

(Marcus) - What do you say, Lilith? Ready to raise some hell?

The small pixie emerges from the mirror's surface, and perches on the golden rim.

(Lilith) - Of course, Master!

(Marcus) - Good...

A bell chimes in the distance. All the boys and girls should be heading off to clubs right about now.

(Marcus) - Now fly, my little pixie. You've a lot of work to do.

(Lilith) - Yes, Master!

She flies off into the distance, towards the school.

I inhibit my connection to the force. We just started this round, it would be a shame to allow myself to be detected.

Now... I suppose I owe him. It is because of the hate that he nurtured that I have stayed alive for so long after everything that has happened.

I go deeper into the woods so I can observe from a distance. 

Time to play again, Overhaul.

Time: After Classes       Location: 1F Hallways

...What was that?

(Moka) - Y/N? Y/N, are you alright? 

(Y/N) - I thought... I thought I felt something. Something familiar.

(Moka) - Good familiar, or bad familiar?

(Y/N) - Can't tell. It erased it's presence before I could get a bead on it.
