"Raikov, stay here and protect Snow. Luke, follow me!" Leo said sternly as he ran, headed straight for the sound's origin.

"Wait! I'm coming with you, for I know these halls more than any of you!" said Mew Snow rushing after Leo. Raikov and Jack followed her, weapons drawn and readied.

"But your too emotional right now, you need to calm down... or you may get hurt." Leo said sadly, but just let her catch up to him, while searching the darkness with his ears, making sure they didn't run into anything.

"What may happen soon will be far more important to me than you! I CAN fight and I AM coming!" insisted Mew Snow. Then, a faint scream cut off by a heavy smashing sound was heard from a staircase leading to a higher level of the academy.

"Fine then... but your too slow." Leo said as he grabbed her wrist and transported them as close to where the scream originated as he could hear.

Everyone stood in a great hall, looking much like a church's chapel without the pews. It was far brighter there than in the other parts of the academy. There was an altar at the far end of the hall. A cloaked man stood there. There was some kind of bright, grey aura around him. Hearing everyone arrive in the hall, he turned around:  |

Leo stayed in the front and began to approach the man. "So, who are you?" Leo asked as his eyes pierced straight towards the cloaked man.

Mew Snow fell to the ground crying bitterly like a young child, "MASTER!......NO!!!!!!" the man simply looked at Mew Snow and continued smiling his evil smile.

Leo wanted to comfort Snow as she fell to the ground, but knew that everyone being safe had to come first. He then continued to walk to the man as he looked into his eyes, trying to read what he was going to do.

"My young student, Helen Iras. Be not dismayed, for I have been looking for you that I might resume instructing you." he said to Mew Snow (whose name was indeed Helen Iras). This made Helen even more sorrowful. Luke drew his sword and Raikov and Jack readied their weapons.

Leo continued walking towards the man, who he now knew was Helen's master. "So your the one who caused this place to smell for blood and dead human bodies... I didn't think a mere human capable of such a thing." He said as he stopped walking towards him about half way into the hall.

"Come, my greatest student. Come and I shall bestow upon you more power than you could have ever imagined." said Helen's master to Helen, completely ignoring Leo and everyone else. She then paused her sobbing for a second and looked up at him.

Leo got tired of being ignored so he did something... unexpected of him. He pulled out his daggers and teleported behind the man and held them up to his throat. "I don't think you heard me... I asked if you were the one that killed all of those people?" He asked again as he pressed the blades closer to the mans neck, slowly making it bleed a little bit.

The man threw Leo all the way across the hall with both strength and some other kind of force- about two hundred feet into the stone wall. "So, I see you've made some new allies. Let me get them out of the way." Then, two dragon like wings and two huge claw like arms sprouted out of the man's back. Energies of all types started swirling around his body.

Leo started to get out of the wall and looked at the man. "Well I'll say this much... he can't throw pretty far..." He said as he noticed his shoulder had been dislocated when he hit the wall, and he couldn't have that if he was going to fight. So he slammed his arm back into the wall, popping it back into place. Leo hissed as he started moving his arm again while he teleported back to the group. "Okay, I think that this will be bad if we don't get her out of here." He said as he looked at Snow and then at the man who was now no longer one.

"I am Tiserias, your master," Said the man, "come with me, Helen!" Tiserias flew over Helen and threw a battering ram-of-a-punch with both of his claws at Luke, Raikov and Jack who were very lucky to have dodged the attack. He landed softly on the ground and layed a hand on Helen. "Let's go." he said gently.

Leo knew that if he was going to get Helen out of there, he needed to be precise in what he was about to do. If he screwed up... it would most likely kill him. He ran straight towards the man moving at cat-like speeds, trying to get close enough to Helen to teleport her away.

Tiserias saw Leo coming and threw another smashing attack at Leo. Meanwhile, Raikov opened fire on Tiserias while Luke and Jack both prepared ranged attacks of their own.

Leo moved his body instantaneously with his punch, barely dodging it. But unknown to Tiserias, he was too close for one of those punches. Leo grabbed Helen and teleported back behind the group as he checked his face, it was bleeding. "I guess I didn't dodge that punch after all..." He said seriously as he looked at the others. "Guys come back, he's too strong for you!" He yelled as he made sure Helen was safe, since she was what he was after.

Tiserias' facial expression showed his full darkness. Absorbing the shots fired from Raikov and a small bolt of lightning from Luke, he flew furiously towards the group. Helen had finally got her wits together. Her wings appeared as she began concocting some kind of orb of light in her hands.

Leo was standing by her, making sure that if Tiserias got too close that he would be able to get Snow out of the way. He stood his ground ready for the monster's attack as he headed straight for them, not moving an inch as he waited for her to charge her attack.

Tiserias was closing in fast. Before he could reach Leo, Helen, Luke, and Raikov, Jack jumped out in front of them, his shortblade drawn. Tiserias stopped flying and fell full force upon him with both claws. All that can be said is that Tiserias literally annihilated Jack. He was dead.

Leo knew this wasn't going to end well, so he grabbed everyone and teleported them outside the academy. This would give them more room to fight, and Leo would have a better feel for his surroundings.

No sooner had Leo teleported everyone then had Tiserias broken through the ceiling of the great hall. He could see them without a doubt.

"Damn, he's persistent... we need to think of something before he gets too close." Leo said as his eyes began to burn brighter red. "Snow, have any ideas...?" He asked as she might have some way to defeat this guy.
