Chapter 18: Astrovoids Advance! Plight of the Professors

Sehki's face reeked with dread, primarily focusing on Scaldwave.

"Someone get Professor to safety," throwing him to the heirs. Bella answered the call, catching him and hopping over to the health center, already filled with taking applicants.

Madam heard from her co-workers about the news watching with hope he'd survive, while the heirs were agitated.

"Let us go!" Rigal's wrath could summon a whirlwind. "He'll kill them all without us!"

"Let them do the work of reducing their power, and then you'll go in for the kill."

"You think we'll wash on the big stage?"

"Answer me this Taylor: did the same thing not happen to your mutation?"

Ainsley was too busy watching Bella bring the professor to Bethany, hoping the others would be able to buy time, finding Xia practicing moving around a spire of flame, even as it hit herself.

"We're too tired to fight him. Sehki," grunting, "do your," reluctant, "sigh. Best."

The other members of the Inner Circle joined the Shadow Brawlers.

"Big whoop," Sven claimed. "You can't take us all at once!"

Twin hand-waved it. "Four versus almost ten is too easy. You'll need a hundred fae to beat us. Let's see if you can handle one hundred of me!"

Sehki tried to calm himself down when his brain recognized a loophole. "Wait, if you double up on the number of clones, you'll end up with multiples of two. So you wouldn't get a hundred, you'd end up with either sixty-four or one hundred twenty-eight."

"Oh yeah," pondering it over as Tenma, Principal Lumin, Tychonis and Stone used that break in thought to try and eliminate her first.

She clapped her hands together, ignoring Cluster and Ram's warnings as a field of wind enveloped the space around her, blowing them back.

"Gemini Expansion!"

Amongst the wind, Cree spun around a counter-clockwise storm to protect them. They saw her create a clone, both of them doubling again, and again, and again, and again, before seven of them stabbed another week-fold with a spiraling wind drill, pushing the corpses away onto Principal Lumin.

"Everyone, move!"

Calypsa grabbed Sehki and the others, using Volans to wrap the other Shadow Brawlers within water to fly them away. Bodin and Professor Tenma drew shields and summoned a battleship of cement in time as they detonated into numerous explosions.

None of the students were severely harmed, enduring the smoke. As it cleared, Principal Lumin fell. Lorena stretched her neck up for her and Sehki to see their principal disintegrated. The particles flew towards Cluster, and every fae around watched in their horror as their school's leader was no more.

In their place was laughter from Twin, who had a full army of clones around.

"I could probably destroy all of you myself!"

Several of them dived down towards the heir's group. Delphine was able to locate the real one, but the clones kicked Kayla's cannon before she could fire while another one crushed her hand to make her shoot Bodin's constructs, Delphine, and forcing Nyla to shield them as more circled the ladies.

Tychonis swam into the Twins' striking target as his wet tentacles constantly wacked and struck away the twins, sparring against her fist drills, stabbing through several clones while picking the trio up.

"Delphine, Kayla, Nyla, be good girls and help me find the real one," groping them. Though the former was uncomfortable, she had enough strength to point to her, allowing the latter to hurl her guard, striking past the clones to hit the real one. He arrogantly aimed his hairs at the real one, about to skewer them.

They flew into Ram's portals, who pulled him up for Cluster to aim and shoot him down. Stone's wolves crushed impact while Tenma caught him. The students tried to take on the clones one at time, all of them afraid of when they detonate as the feet of the Pegasus and Columbia professor's built up a storm.

"Get away from our students!"

Twin grinned. "Let's play Target the Teacher!"

He raced through the crowd. "The rest of you, attack the portal ones from using his spell. Those two need time to recharge those large attacks. I'll handle this harlequin!"

Bodin got Tychonis to safety as Stone commanded the students to shake Ram's focus. Meanwhile Tenma jumped in with a flying kick, flying back and forth and splitting his legs to spin, rapidly driving them away from their feet.

Seeing one had enough damage, wind around his heel helped him pierce a clone's body, kicking them away before they exploded.

Lorena watched him, figuring out a pattern as Twin yelled, how annoying the wind professor was.

"Let's clip your wings, now!"

She let some clones sacrifice getting roundhoused as others struck Tenma in the legs, sliding tackling him airborne and sweeping him up, enduring his aerial milk spray while the others, surrounding, rising, punching and kicking him from every direction with no chance to escape. Two of them joined together, flying down.

"Gemini Barrage!" They delivered a final simultaneous kick, causing him to crash to the ground, barely able to stand from the crater that resulted.

The students gulped while Twin huffed in annoyance.

"Good riddance. Old lady, you're next."

Stone turned. "Hayato!" She turned the battleship against Twin and Cluster, firing boulders the Astrovoid leader was forced to dodge while rowing through a good third of the clones.

"Divide and conquer! Fight for those who can not!"

Ram's limbs slipped inside portals entering Stone's space. Candy noticed something was wrong when her instructor's attacks singled, finding the Argo Navis crushed into nothing as the old lady fell to limbs from portals coming from Ram, only stopping when she fired ice shards at them.

The student's confidence waved with all of the main professors defeated silently questioning if any of them were going to survive.
