Summary: The group gets out of school one day and separates, but they soon find themselves caught in a mist, and end up back together again in a graveyard.

The last bell rings; I leave art class and head out to my locker. On the way I see Wanny and Yuna go off to some corner of the campus to do whatever couples do during their spare time.

Rupee and Darren saw me and dragged me off to their lockers and ask me for help on their statistics homework since I was in the AP class, so I was expected to know the stuff better. I redirect them to Jonathan who was actually doing well in the class and was consistently getting A's on his tests. Josh went off to Mr. Seguri's room to work on designing a comic for the school's quarterly magazine. Daniel invited me to join him to work out in the weight room

Then, Rin's younger brother, Alex, jumps up from behind me and attempts to choke me. I respond by attempting to throw him over my shoulder. I thought Rin would be upset for knocking the wind out of her brother, but she told her brother that was what he gets for messing with me. Then Rin received a call from her parents; she had to pick up the groceries for the week, so she dragged her brother to her van, and they drove off. Soon, it was just Jennifer and I, but Jennifer's mom was coming to pick her up early so she quickly dashed off to the parking lot.

The school was still being repaired from the damage caused by all the battles that took place here. The gym was still a wreck so games were hosted in a different high school. Much of the main quad was unusable because of battle damage. Apparently when I was in the hospital, police investigators went in and out of the school to investigate the damage done and figure out a cause for it. They also questioned the teachers to see if they had any idea of who the "heroes" were, but none of them had any clue of who we were.

I ran to the M-Building for my next dance lesson with Hannah, but I was caught up in a mist, and got lost. I tripped over something. At first glance, I thought it was a piece of the rubble that wasn't cleaned up yet, but it was actually a headstone for a grave. I looked around, but I couldn't see anything through the deep, silver mist.

I continued to step forward carefully, avoiding stepping on the headstones. The mist soon cleared, and there were nine other people now visible. Eight of them I could recognize: Rupee, Darren, Daniel, Wanny, Yuna, Josh, Jonathan, and Hannah. There was one more person on top of a moss-covered, granite tomb. He had a well-toned body but had a really bad hunch. He wore tattered robes, and in his left hand was a dim lantern, and in his right hand, he firmly gripped onto a rusty spade. He breathed in and out with a raspy breath, and cleared his throat.

"Welcome to my graveyard," the man said. "My name is Yorick, and in front of each of you is your bed."

We looked at our feet, and inscribed on each headstone was our names. The figure snapped his fingers, and the grass in front of each of us fell and a hole was unearthed and conveniently in each hole was a coffin ready to receive us.

"Now my guests, please quietly stay down and enjoy your eternal stay here," Yorick said.

"NO!" we all said.

"Well, guess, if you won't go to sleep, I will make you go to sleep," Yorick said with malicious intent. He tapped the tomb he was standing on three times, and all the ghouls and specters of the dead burst forth from their granite prison. "Now my host of spirits will help you join them," he said.

The spirits spiraled together around Yorick into a tornado of ghouls and monsters, and then groups of them broke off from the main group protecting Yorick and attacked us. I pulled out my hammer quickly, and Hannah quickly activated the charm on her bracelet. She turned into the Nine-tailed fox quickly. We charged at a group ghouls headed toward us, and quickly eliminated them.

The rest of the group was frantically trying to pull out their keychains. A group of ghouls attacked Jonathan, before he could be pushed into his grave, Daniel shot down the minions with a "Peacemaker" shot. Wanny pulled out his glove, and the glove materialized around his right hand. Soon he launched out a bunch of bolts of energy at the ghouls. One by one, the ghouls were being shot down by a combination of bullets from Daniel's rifle and bursts of energy from Wanny's glove. Jonathan recovered himself and pulled out the shield. He shielded himself from a wave of ghouls, but they were creeping up behind him.

Josh pulled out the broken blade and slashed down a group of ghouls that attempted to attack him with a "Broken Wings" sword combo.

"Everyone to the center!" I commanded the team.

"Wait what about Yuna," Wanny said. A group of ghouls had snatched her up, and he unleashed a flurry of "mystic shots" to bring them down.

"Thank you, Wanny, but I can take care of myself now," Yuna told him.

"What, how?"

"Like this," she said, "TIBBERS!" A fire glowed from within the teddy bear she was holding, and out of the sky the teddy bear dropped on a group of ghouls, instantly incinerating them.

"Wow very nice, but you want to see what I can do?"

"Sure?" she replied.

Wanny grabbed her hand and said, "Arcane Shift." Together, they flashed into the center of the circle of defense.

"Wow, that is so cool!" she exclaimed.

"Ok everyone, we are going to move slowly toward the tornado and see if we can break through," I told everyone.

We crept toward the ghastly tornado of ghouls. We used our abilities to get close. Hannah used the power of her "Fox Fires" to clear out groups of ghouls. Daniel and Wanny kept mixing their basic attacks with abilities like "Mystic Shot" and "Piltover Peacemaker." Josh, Yuna's Tibbers, and I attacked minions that were up close. Yuna could only stay in the center of the group while we took care of everything.

When we were at the base of the tomb, Jonathan and I closed the tomb's entrance while Hannah, Daniel, Josh, and Wanny defended the group from the onslaught of ghouls that attacked. Jonathan and I struggled to close the door so Josh and Wanny helped close the door as well leaving Daniel and Hannah to defend Yuna.

"Yuna," I said to her, "If things get rough say, 'disintegrate,' or, 'molten shield,' and you'll get out of it."

"Ok, Thomas," she replied. A group of ghouls came out from Daniel and Hannah's blind side, and were about to attack her. "Disintegrate," she yelled. A cone of fire came out from her hands, and the ghouls were burned to bits.

"Nice," Wanny said as we finally closed the door. When the door slam shut, all the ghouls returned to their place in the ghoulish tornado surrounding Yorick. Then they formed themselves into a massive wall of spirits behind Yorick.

"Well, you managed to fight my host of demons," Yorick said, "time for round two." The wall moved in front of Yorick. Before the wall could form, I yelled out, "To the Skies," and I slammed my hammer against the wall of ghouls. The wall was too thick to be broken by my hammer. I fall back onto the ground, and look up at it. The wall was gigantic and nearly impenetrable. Soon, a bunch of ghouls were being launched like cannon balls at us, and we ducked behind headstones to avoid being pummeled by ghouls.

"I'll see if I can break through," Hannah said, "Spirit Rush!" Nothing happened.

"Hannah, we can't use our ultimate abilities yet," Josh said.

"No, Josh she can use them," I said, "c'mon Hannah, go for it."

"I can't," she said, "something is not right."

"What, no."

"I'll try," Daniel said confidently, "Piltover Peacemaker!" Nothing Happened.

"Mystic shot!" Wanny said. Nothing happened.

Then Yorick said behind his wall of ghouls, "It seems you have run out of mana, you cannot beat me in that state, hahahaha. Everything has an expiration date, including your powers." More ghouls popped out and grabbed Hannah and Yuna. They suspended them high in the air.

"Put them down," Wanny commanded Yorick.

"How dare do you dishonor me in my own world," Yorick said, "You will be the first to die." Another ghoul was fired out of the wall right at Wanny, without his "Arcane Shift," he took the hit, and went down. Daniel rapidly started emptying ammunition into the wall, picking off ghouls one at a time, but he never did any damage to the wall. Another Ghould shot out of the wall, when Daniel was going to jump out of the way, a hand of a ghoul that was underneath him rooted him in place. Daniel took the hit from the ghoul and went down for the count as well. It was only me, Jonathan, and Josh left to battle against Yorick.

Darren and Rupee rejoined us after fighting against another pack of ghouls, and who they thought was Yorick. It ended up being a ghoul who took the form of Yorick, and they were tricked out of fighting that whole fight. They said they had overused their abilities too when fighting. Darren had drained all of his mana using "Riptides" and "Titan's Wrath" while Rupee had drained his mana using "Apprehend" and "Decimate" to clear out the waves of ghouls. Darren felt like he could use one more ability, and Rupee said the same thing.

"I will bring you all into the grave," Yorick said maliciously. He slammed his spade on the ground, and the ghouls holding Hannah, Wanny, Yuna, and Daniel tossed them into their coffins.

"NOO!" I cried out. Angrily, I glare at Yorick, he grinned. I grip the Mercury Hammer in my right hand and spin it around. Then I slam it into the ground and a clap of thunder rung throughout the graveyard. The mist cleared, and the bright full moon shined down upon us. The rest of us prepared for the next part of the battle, as Yorick surrounded himself with the tornado of ghouls once again.

"Well, people, let's see how well you fair this time," he said.

Josh gripped his blade tightly, "I will not stand for this, KYAH!" Josh yelled out. His blade began to shine. "Blade of the Exile," a burst of energy came out from Josh. He pointed the broken blade at Yorick, and the blade began to piece itself together, making the complete rune blade.

"Attack!" Josh commanded us. We ran forward toward the tornado. The real battle had begun.
