Kirei: What rush! New faces to manipulate and recreate! I have even gotten the storyline for some of the OC down already! Some…I'm still trying to get there. It's not that your characters are dull, it's just that when I read personality, appearance, and history sometimes my mind instantly perceives a persona or being that fits with them. Trust me, I only just figured out all the stuff that happens with the North Academia kids with room to flourish! Don't worry, I'll have these charas have equal footing the others!
Austin: You're rambling, Kirei.
Kirei: Oh right! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX nor all the OC (duh!) but I do own the plots!
Reviewers Response:
Oak-chan: She's definitely a character
Faith Princeton: And you shall!
Luving Randomness: And you certain changed it a lot. So much I made them two different characters rather than getting rid of one.
ArrowTLC7: Yes. The nerd room. As for being an upperclassman, yes, yes he is. Though Ket isn't the only one that's an upperclassman in our West Academia gang.

(Off Campus West Academia)
Sneaking out of the West Academia campus was fairly easy. That was probably because there was no other place within 10 miles of the place. If students really wanted to sneak off to have fun, they'd have to steal a vehicle or take an animal. Both ways were simple to track, maybe that was why security was so lax. Either way, I could leave my dorm without a problem and meet up with Austin. He told me we needed to at least see what the glyphs looked like as well as greet another PAD joining us on the West Academia campus.
I walked through the sand, careful to mask my tracks as I headed to the jungle terrain located to the south of the school since it was the only place that our comrade could arrive without arousing the Academia. Austin waited near the edges, leaning on a tree. Aerynn was at his side until he saw me. That was when Aerynn tackled me, glad to be back in his company. I laughed quietly, "It hasn't even been a whole day and you already miss me?"
"That let's you know that you're spoiling him," my brother chided with my response as sticking my tongue out. I rubbed my pet's thick fur as I glanced around, "So where's our other classmate? I thought they would've came earlier."
Austin shrugged, "I was informed that she was arriving late because was finishing a mission dealing with some shaman disputes in Angola before arriving here." I wondered, "It's a she?"
"And you know her," he admitted. I whined, "Tell me who she is, Aussie." The smirk on his lips told me he wasn't going to say a word. I huffed as I tried to figure out all the girls that I knew, "Uh…Isabella? (silence) Valencia? (still silence) C'mon Austin, give me a hint!"
"No."
"Jerk," I said, "Um…Alex? Lore? Tamara? Istas?"
"At this rate you'll go through your whole contact list," a voice said from behind me. I whirled around to see a girl. Her pale skin look like it would fry in the Sahara sun while her black hair was up in two ponytails. Her violet eyes were unreadable though I figured she was joking. I glomped the girl, "Cynthia, it's been a while! Though I thought you would've gone with your 'little siblings' up at North."
Cynthia laughed, "Ah, they're at that time that they wanna do everything themselves. Trent and Danni told me to back off when it's like that so I figured I'd let them have their fun."
I know it sounds weird for someone that looks as young as Cynthia to talk like a grown woman. Well, that would be because she is an adult by human years. She's about 30 years old but looks like she's only 15. That would be because she is a vampire that was 'adopted' into the Andersen household. Though apparently she had to let her 'siblings' grow up so she was sent here. Probably because we're the only people she knows out of the cadets assigned to the Academias.
Austin cleared his throat, "Not that I'm not glad that you're here Cynthia, but could we get to our mission?"
"Way to be a mood killer, bro," I said. "but you're right. So Cyn, since you were busy, we're investigating the hieroglyphic graffiti that has been appearing at random places around the campus. Though I don't know how we're supposed to find whoever's responsible."
As if my thoughts could be heard the sound of aerosol cans clinking was heard. We crouched into the bushes/ducked behind the trees, watching for the shadows to move. Surely we saw six shadowy forms dart in the darkness. I heard the spray paint cans again. I signaled to Cynthia and Austin, What's the plan?
He answered back in sign language, Cyn will flank them and we trap them between two of the buildings. We waited to where the group was engrossed in their vandalism, then made our moves. Moving without making a sound, Cyn made her way around the building while me and Austin confronted the graffiti 'artists'. They turned, surprised and tried to run the other way. However they were blocked in.
Knowing they couldn't get out without a fight, the cloaked people stood in a circle with one of them in the center. They recited something foreign even to us PAD. The center person glowed and became larger and more feral. In my training (and common sense) that's a bad thing. They snarled before lunging towards me and Austin.
With our training, we tucked and rolled out of the way. Austin tackled the person by the waist to pull them onto the ground. While this happened, the other five made a break for freedom. I managed to catch one by their cloak, but they unhooked the cloth from their neck and dashed into the night. I cursed as I wanted to follow them but couldn't when Cynthia was thrown onto me. Both of us were temporarily disoriented so I was seized by the beast that the group had made.
WHAP!
The figure's face meet my brother's fist. He was not amused by me being manhandled. While Austin was keeping whatever that was distracted, me and Cyn both did a leg sweep to trip them. My brother struggled to remain on top of the thing. Cyn dove for the legs while I went for the arms. The person flailed under our grip while Austin aimed a punch at the diaphragm to knock all the air out of the person. With the beast unconscious, they reverted back to human. We all sighed in relief. I commented, "What the heck was that? I haven't seen that kind of spell before."
"That probably means that it's forbidden," Austin noted as he examined the person-a boy-that he knocked out. He most likely was identifying him (since he has photographic memory) and hoping he didn't bruise or break anything internally. While he was doing that, I retrieved the cloak I managed to pull off while Cynthia looked at what they were creating.
I was shaking off the sand when something fell onto the ground. It was a card, Black Jinx. I hadn't heard of it before as I examined the picture. It looked like multiple circles overlapping with three ellipsis jointed together. It looked like a legitimate spell circle. Maybe it had something to do with the students. I put the cloak under the my arm, "Anything?"
"Whatever spell they were making. It's complex. I mean, I've cross-referenced them with ones in the databases and I'm pulling up nothing. It's either a new seal entirely or one that's obscure. It'd take a lot more research to find out about it," the vampire reported. Austin said, "He's an Obelisk with a clean record. I see no reason he'd to something like this though my guess is that it wasn't his choice."
I glanced at my WATCH, "Well, don't think we'll get any farther out investigation tonight. I'm ready to book it, but what are we gonna do about this guy?" to answer, Austin put the guy over his shoulder, "He's on the way to my room. I'll take him back. You guys get some shut eye and I'll see you in the morning."
"Will do," I said, happy to be done for the night

Total bleh chapter. I needed to write something until more ideas came to me. I've been flat since I've been doing late night games of Halo: Reach. That and I'm trying to do an approach I didn't do with North: introduce the set up for the next major arc which is…um…I'll get back to you when I think of it.
Hey, do you think I should do openings and endings with this one or no? Got an idea or something that you want to see in the chapters? Let me know! I write this to please those that read it!
Um…I think that's it…? So~~ till the next update! Ja ne!
