A.N: So sorry this took so long, here's a word of advice to those on the block system in school (four, hour and a half classes a semester) DO NOT take three honors classes and a language at the same time! Ugh! The homework! The evil homework! Anyway, addressing questions about how the Lone Power got into their manuals and why he's acting like a movie villain: hee hee, you shall soon find out. evil grin

Nita and Kit appeared in the hallway of their school, clinging to each other and panting.

"Well, that's one of the closer calls we've had in our career." Kit gasped as he doubled over.

"Um, Kit, I think we have company." Raoul Eschemeling was standing at the end of the hallway, jaw practically hanging down to his knees.

"If you don't mind me asking," he asked in a pseudo- calm voice, "Why the hell are you two gray?"

"Uhhhh," Nita and Kit said together. They both said the syllables that would reverse the spell and let them resume their normal color.

Raoul jumped as Chao stepped out from behind them and said, "Well, that's a long story, so maybe you two should tell him while we walk, There's really no time for loitering."

"A... a... a... a pig? What's a talking pig doing here?"

"You fill him in as you spread the word to evacuate the building. Chao, would you go with him? I'll go find the other Seniors." Nita said and sped down the hall. Panting, she turned the corner and headed down the stairs to the basement. Once there, she stopped and glanced around at the damp, mildew- covered walls, hoping to find some clue as to where the prison was. Nita walked up to a wall, placed her hand on it and said in the Speech, I just need to see through you for a bit, could you please let the light through for a minute?

Certainly. She heard the wall answer back, and a seeming "hole" in the wall opened up, about the size of her hand. She glanced through, but only saw dirt. Nita did the same for all the walls, until finally when she looked through, the sight of hundreds of variously formed Seniors using different ways to try to escape. Several were using linac weapons to try to blast holes in the wall, but everything just seemed to be absorbed by the spell imprisoning them.

"Great, how're we going to manage this one?" she sighed, "Better go get Kit."

"Oh, I don't think you're going anywhere," an ominous voice rumbled behind her.

Nita grabbed her shield spell charm, activating it, just as the pack of perytons that had been standing behind the Lone Power lunged at her. Even with the spell, the force of the impact knocked her off her feat onto the cold, wet, cement floor. The savage, enraged eyes of the perytons gazed hungrily at her, foam dripping out of their snarling mouths, trying their hardest to break through her shield. Terrified, she readied a killing spell.

Kit! Where are you?

A.N: Sorry this is kind of short, but I've been so busy it's almost funny. R&R please!
