Out and Free Again!

An arrow flew across the landscape and shot straight into the Evil Human's hand, sending a quick spurt of blood from it. The Evil Human let loose some bestial grunt as his hand recoiled to his side. He twisted his glare over at the cage, where May was standing proudly with her hands morphed into a miniature bow. She had fired a quick shot over at the Evil Human. She couldn't use any sort of killing blow since she was locked up away from any Meisters, but by herself she could still manage to send out small stunning arrows.

The Evil Human bent down and tossed a small pebble through the air. The pebble shot inwards at May and sadly she wasn't skilled enough to dodge it. It found its mark at her forehead and drew a small trickle of blood. However, May's determined look still didn't waver.

The small opening it created however was soon taken advantage of. Helena's and Eva's paper swirled around the Evil Human creating a hurricane of sheets. He looked around frantically his eyes wide with surprise. All of the sheet quickly began to move at once all of them shooting forward aiming for the Evil Human's body. He dodged forward, breaking free of the hurricane, but still suffering several small paper cuts all over his body. He groaned once more as he twisted his body around, gnashing his teeth as he saw the book wielder. "Yooouuuuu! How dare you bring harm to my brothers!" he screamed as he rushed forwards towards the young girls. He brought his claws forward smashing them towards Helena. She brought up her book and held it in front of her as if hoping the couple hundred sheets of paper would protect her. The Evil Human decided to put her theory to the test, he brought his razor sharp claws forward aiming for the book. His claws tore into it, a brief shriek could be heard from Eva as she was thrust out of her weapon form returning to her human form and rolling about the ground from the power and speed of the strike. "Now for you!" designated the Evil Human as he brought his sharp claws back down towards Helena.

The shark headed whip came snapping back around and into the Evil Human's hand, swatting it away from Helena. He once more groaned and grunted as he moved back taking his space and moving away from them. This drew his attention over to Mischa and Shark, while Helena tried to crawl and waddle over to her fallen weapon. He was about to say something disgustingly crude when the sound of a loud bang was heard. He twisted his head over his shoulder and fixated back on the cage.

Michael had managed to rush past him during the moment of confusion and picked up a large stone, which he was in process of banging against the locks since the keys were no where to be found. He brought it up and smashed it into the cell again and again trying to break the lock. The Evil Human immediately let loose a bestial growl and charged back over at him.

"Not so fast!" shouted Ash as he struggled up to his feet. He only managed to stay standing to launch one punch, but that was enough. His sharp dagger came through at the Evil Human and speared his chest causing another gusher of blood to come forth from the Evil Human. He whined and wailed as he backed up, his fingers crawling all over the new hole in his body. Though they couldn't see his face, they could tell it was probably twisted in agony as he took another step back. All the meanwhile blood gushed forth from his wound.

Michael brought down the rock once more into the lock, smashing it into a unrecognizable shape. He lifted the large stone above his head once more intending this to be the final smash. He put all of his weight behind it as he brought it back, hurtling towards the ground. There was one moment of a definitive sound as the stone met steel and the lock came free of both the bars and the wall and the door shuddered open.

May practically rushed out of the cell, her arms wrapping around Michael. Despite the fact that Michael was currently deaf words of both apology and thanks gushed out from her lips. The rest of the gang whooped and cheered at her emergence. The Evil Human, however, did not.

Instead he rushed upon the two reuniting friends with his claws already at the ready, swiping downwards in a diagonal fashion. Michael reacted almost instantaneously using instincts bred through constant fighting and preparing at the DWMA. He ducked beneath the slash and grabbing May, who was already transforming into her bow. He then rotated all the way about and pulled his bow back, aiming at point-blank range into the Evil Human's gut. He released his bowstring firing a single quick shot into the Evil Human. The Evil Human was blown backwards.

It was hard to tell what was worse for him, suffering the physical blow that undoubtedly both met and exceeded all the small paper cuts he had received so far or the mental blow that told him he was no longer going to be able to completely avoid the attacks. His advantage in speed was remarkably shortened ever since the kid stood up on his own two feet and now it was even less important due to the kid's advantage in range with the bow. He quickly backed up, unsure of how to continue. He had no idea how to continue...he had no options remaining. The other students were worth at least half a man, so now they were basically tied up in terms of people on each team. His advantages just kept dropping Maybe now would be a good time to go and regroup with Vigrid.

The Evil Human twisted about, his intent to leave showing through even his mask. He froze as he saw the door. The darn little girl wielding the halberd had apparently moved over and positioned herself in front of the door. Her large weapon made getting past her almost impossible, even with his higher speed. Jumping and dashing towards her while she held that weapon was seeming more and more unlikely as he stood there and stared at her considering his chances.

"What's the matter?" she said with a cold sneer, "can't get past a little girl and to freedom, coward?" The Evil Human angrily gnashed his teeth at her. He was about to take a step forward and rush her, mowing her down first. However, he quickly stopped and backed up as he realized that it was nothing more than a trap. The darn papers that have proven themselves to be quite annoying were swirling around, the instant he had gotten close enough there was no doubt that they would've spun in slashing him apart with several small and sharp cuts.

He guessed that solved it. His best and most entertaining option was to kill that girl first, "brothers?" he asked out loud. It was disappointing he had come close to killing her with their last exchange, but apparently she managed to come back. It irritated him beyond belief that he failed to kill her once and now she had come back to squash his next plan? How annoying!

"Yes, yes, yes brother! I share that sentiment! I say we kill her first, kill, kill, kill!" chimed in the second brother.

"As long as I'm the one to kill them!" hissed the third voice as the Evil Human twisted about, its entire body slumping downwards as its eyes locked onto poor Helena. "Such a sweet idea...I could definitely enjoy killing such a young girl like that."

The Evil Human half-staggered and half-walked over to Helena. Helena's eyes remained focused on it, but her hands quickly wrapped themselves around Eva and pulled her in close to her chest. Her arms were completely wrapped around Eva, making the small book almost disappear beneath them. The Evil Human didn't seem to notice or care, its piercing yellow eye was aimed directly at Helena. Despite the fact that the mask hid its face you could hear his tongue swish around his lips with a disturbing wet sound. Helena did nothing more than stick her tongue out at him, goading him forward.

Melody, Mischa, and Semper all lashed out furiously trying to defend her with their stronger whips, but the Evil Human seemed strangely focused and intent at Helena. Its claws flickered from his body and swatted the whips away with little problem. Michael was the next line of defense with Bridget guarding the door and Ash too far away and too slow to intervene, he rushed forward. He knew that an arrow was just too risky, right now the Evil Human was just walking but shooting an arrow would agitate his movements and make him rush forward and if he missed then the distance was too small for him to fire another. He would rush and put himself in between them, his bow and arrow was a little bit better at taking hits than Bridget's small book.

He got there just in time and he widened his stance and readied his bow up to guard. However, he had forgotten one of the things the Evil Human has said earlier. He told them flat out that he was no slowpoke, originally Michael thought that it was just due to the fact that they couldn't walk that made him seem fast, but that wasn't true. The Evil Human twisted his body forward, turning it through and escaping into the smallest opening Michael had, a feat not easily accomplished due to both his minor military training with his dad as well his training at the DWMA. The Evil Human didn't seem to mind though as almost instantly he was in front of Eva and Helena, his gleaming claws at the ready. They flashed forward aimed straight for Helena's skull.

Helena didn't dare try to block it. In order to do so, she would have to move her arms and drop Eva, putting her once more at the mercy of the large monster before them. No, she wouldn't do that! She nearly killed Eva once at the beginning when the large monster's perfectly honed claws pierced through her, Helena wasn't about to let that happen again! She may be bookwormish and a little weird at times, but they were partners had been ever since they joined the DWMA and they never left each other's side! So, she wasn't abut to abandon her here!

Just as those beautiful thoughts danced about in her head, her arms were forced open. It wasn't the Evil Human trying to pry them open, it was Eva. The small book that was her body was rapidly expanding, it was coated in a dark green color. Helena tried to push her back down, keep her below the Evil Human's wide swinging claws, but it was no use. Eva's body expanded, growing arms and legs, her shoulder-length brown hair exploded from her head and flowed down flying into Helena's face. Her clothes poofed out and covered her body. It was originally a forest green colored shirt, but red blood splashed out and covered them.

The Evil Human's sharp claws had drilled themselves into her, just above the stomach, but below the rib cage. Eva let out a short gasp as the air was pummeled out of her. She looked up at the Evil Human's face, which due to the sharp and pounding pain that rang out through her entire body was quite difficult, but she did it anyway.

For a second she could swear that she saw beneath the Evil Human's mask, that it wasn't there and instead were three faces, all of them identical in both looks and expressions. They had the same hair, the same colored eyes, the same skin tone. Then all of them were twisted into the same sickeningly happy smiles, like the bully who just pushed a nerd into a mud puddle and was laughing it up with his nearly identical friends. Sadly that was all she saw before the world went black.


First off, let me quickly point out that when I said 'my main character' I should've said a main character. That was my bad and I accept all evil glares. There is no one main character, Michael is the titular character and A main character, not THE. I apologize.

Now if I did get right and 'a main character' I would now say 'I said I was going to kill off a main character...I never said it was going to be Michael, did I?'

Also, I am going to be taking down the poll before the next chapter. So, if you want to vote do it NOW!
