Rood stares out the window and finally snaps. He turns to leave, but again, Baldwin followed.

  "A-Are you seriously going to follow me?!" Rood stops and looks back at Baldwin. "I'm really going to the bathroom. You're not my shadow are you? You're annoying!" Rood calls, frustrated.

  "What? Annoying?" 

Rood knew he'd ticked him off and cursed himself. But professor Khan called over, distracting Baldwin.

  "Mr. Baldwi- No, Baldwin!" It'd appeared to professor Khan that Baldwin was bullying Rood. 

Baldwin looks over with a menacing look, quieting professor Khan.

  "I...I mean...Baldwin..." Professor Khan whimpered. "You've been called over here...small meeting..."

Baldwin looks over to Rood again, who'd already began his getaway plan. "You. Wait right here."

Rood wasn't kidding himself. As soon as Baldwin left, he found his way out the classroom.

....

  Dio laid down clutching his arm. The bruises he'd gotten from Rood were now nothing more than paper cuts compared to the new ones he got now. But he was still okay. He spits out blood an curses himself for not being extra careful. The equipment room was in shambles and the was no more roof to the room. 

The black figure hovered in the air above Dio. "You've gotten a lot more pathetic since I last saw you, Diorook. I wonder if it's because you're in a human vessel. You've gotten a lot weaker."

Dio stands, his hand still cautioning the other. "Then you've...gone blind due to that power you've gained."

The figure didn't respond.

"You pathetic leech crawling beneath the ground." Dio continues. "You dare act mighty in front of me?"

"I don't feel convinced at all, Diorook. I'll give you an offer that won't be bad for you." the figure says. "Go back to your original form and kill everyone in this place. If you do as i say...I will give you glory and fame like no other by my side."

Dio remains silent. Then he grins. "Go to hell."

The figure produces a black tendril that hits Dio's arm and goes through it. Dio screams and falls to the ground.

"Why do you refuse my offer? It isn't that hard for you, is it?"  The figure asks. "If I destroy your human vessel, you'll return to your original form anyways. Let's see... nineteen underneath you that's in panic. twelve that's hiding in fear. thirty-one people huh? That's a shame." It sends more tendrils that take a hold of Dio's arms and wrists to prevent him from moving. "Let's show the world what your true form really looks like." Another tendril goes after Dio's heart but fails to connect.

As soon as the tendril comes crashing down on Dio, a red enigma swoops in and grabs Dio before it comes in contact.

"Rood..." says dio.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Rood asks. He had a red cloak wrapped around his body and over his head to protect his identity. "What the hell s goi-"

Another tendril comes clashing down on Rood and Dio. Rood barely dodges with Dio in his arm and the other protecting the hood over his head. A series of black tendrils follow and chase after Rood as he dodges.

"Rood...Let me go." Says Dio, blood rushing from his head. "I...Can't...Hold it in anymore."

A tendril takes a hold of Rood's left foot before he could respond to Dio. Dio slips out of his grasp.

"Rood...Get away...from me." Says Dio now on the ground.    

"What? Wa-" Rood protests.

Blue swirls erupt from Dio and wipes him away from Rood's vision.

Rood becomes alarmed, so do the other professors that had attended to the mess. Dio was about to transform again.

Rood leaps from his spot and dashes into the light. But it was too late. Dio had already fully transformed. But it wasn't what Rood expected. Dio was now a mini version of his actual form.

Rood was dumbfounded, so was the figure. He immediately snaps back to reality and catches Dio midway in the air and lands on the ground...not before hiding Dio inside his cloak

The professors immediately surround Rood, including Lispen. 

Professor Orphell binds the figure that still remained in the air with his magic. He appears behind the figure. "Then shall we finally conclude this little fiasco?"

"Hey red robe!" One of the professor calls. "Who are you?! Reveal yourself and please identify yourself!"

Rood didn't respond, which just makes him more suspicious.

"It doesn't seem like he has any interest in answering us." Professor Orphell says from above. "Let us capture him first."

"Yes, professor orphell." The other professor answers. He dashes at Rood but was greeted by a Helios uniform trench coat that was thrown at him.

Shicmon lands behind Rood with so much force that Rood was thrown off his balance. He immediately taps his hand on the floor to keep him from falling.

"Hey you." Says Shicmon. "What're you hiding?" He reaches for Rood's cloak but Rood was quick witted enough and did a backward kick to keep shicmon away. But he fails and Shicmon grabs hit foot instead. "I found you. Mysterious person."

Rood knew he was in trouble. He uses his other foot and kicks shicmon's hand that held his other leg. He does a back spin and lands. As soon as he does, he begins his escape plan. He runs.

"Stop this moment!" Warns a professor. "Do you think you'll be able to escape like-"

Rood passes the ranting professor. Lispen who stood behind the professor takes action and swings at Rood with a sword. Rood hops on the sword with his hand and whispers to Lispen. "Please...Help me."

Lispen drops his sword and lets Rood pass.

"Professor Lispen?" The professor calls. "What're you doing?" He then says to Rood. "Please stop running!" He sends a swirl of magic towards Rood. Lispen blocks it with his sword. "Ugh, Lispen! What are you doing?!"

"Mmm...I think in order to avoid damaging the school further, we need to avoid using any type of magic."

"What? What the hell are you saying?!"

"That aside," Lispen continues. "I'll chase that red hooded fig-" 

Shicmon ran passed Lispen without any consideration of what he just said. Lispen sighs and follows after Shicmon.

  Rood was now being chased by Lispen and Shicmon. Shicmon reaches for Rood's cloak and almost gets a hold of it, but Lispen intervenes with his sword.

"...What the hell." Says Shicmon.

"I think you should stay out of this."

"What?"

Lispen halts Shicmon with his sword in front of him. "You're currently a student. If you do anything too rash, it'll look bad on us."

Rood takes that chance to escape.

"Leave it to me and return to where you're from." 

"Don't kid around." Shicmon then turns to Rood's direction. "If you don't want yo get hurt, you'll stop there right now." He sends a red blast at rood who narrowly misses it.

"What the hell are you-" Says Lispen.

"Stop interrupting me and go away."

Rood continues running and thanks god for haven narrowly missed the attack.

Shicmon grabs Rood's cloak from the back. "Caught you."

You annoying bastard. Damn it! Thinks Rood. Sweat rolls down his face.

Shicmon now goes for Rood's hood and pulls it down, but was welcomed by a blast of blue flame from Dio who did a good job on blinding his vision.

Rood pulls up his hood again and gets the chance to escape...Neither does he know the fact that shicmon caught a glimpse of his blonde hair.
