(During W.I.T.C.H Issue 1, night of Halloween party)
From the balcony Nigel sees Vathek as he tries to break free from the crowd.
"Let me go!" Vathek cries out. "Get off! You are making a terrible mistake! You shall regret this!"
The students cheer as they cry "Halloween! Halloween!" as they begin to circulate the bonfire.
"Now, now don't be shy my boy!" Principal Knickerbocker, an old stout elderly woman gives the pinches Vathek's ear. "before we reveal who is behind that charming mask, you get the chance to light the bonfire!"
Vathek furiously slapsthe torch towards the pumpkin as it starts to lit on fire. "Nobody treats Vathek like this! You went too far you grotesque creature!"
"Now it begins!" Kurt exclaims. "We place double than the rockets that we planned for!"
'Wait! What! They added more?! Is it when I talked to Eric?!' Nigel says to himself as they agreed earlier to put at least a few rockets to minimize the danger and it would create a distraction and diversion for him to move and investigate the probable appearance of Phobos' men. He then, realizes that the dozen of rockets would cause a large catastrophe to the students "Maybe we shouldn't have put the rockets in the pumpkin!"
"Too late to regret dear Nigel. Relax and enjoy the show!" Uriah says.
Seconds before the rockets explode, he hides his hand behind clothing "Ignition Sixth Technique" Nigel whispers, as steam of air circulates his hand and small light lits in the center of his pupils that stares at the pumpkin. "Explosion Withdraw!" he chants as he closes his hand to a fist.
Suddenly, the pumpkin explodes, yet not as hazardous, as the rockets fly all over the place, His chant works but is too late to stop it but causes less damage than what he expected. "Help! Lookout!" The students suddenly are in disorder and in confusion as they run away from pumpkin and avoids the incoming and swirling rockets.
"HAHAHAHA!" Uriah laughs in an evil tone. "Can you see the how they're running!"
Nigel's eyes follows and chants as the rockets and explodes to itself before they reach the students. Yet notices not only the rockets cause major damage "The fire is spreading Uriah!" he exclaims because his powers are not capable to control fire; only ignited explosions. He suddenly notices Vathek, also in confusion, yet focuses his anger on the red-head new girl. At the same time, he also sees a rocket coming to him from behind, with no time to lose, he chants silently yet quickly, "First Technique:"
The rocket reaches Vathek from behind as Nigel snaps his fingers. "Spark Burst!" The rocket suddenly cause twice the damage on Vathek, and his whole bottom burns from the small yet impactful explosion.
"Get down Irma!" a voice shouts as Nigel turns to see his schoolmate Irma, a short yet curly brown headed student and tanned skin student, as a rocket goes directly at her!
"Oh flames!" Nigel hesitates to chant another spell. "Sixth—"
"Stop!" the voice says as he turns to see the other new girl, dark-skinned and braided yet pretty, holds his hand in the air with a stop gesture at the rocket. It suddenly stops and moves up in an over-looping trajectory towards the burning pumpkin!
Bewildered and puzzled from what Nigel witnessed, he quickly casts another chant before the pumpkin would do more damage! "Sixth Tec—"
"Come on Nigel! The teachers are coming!" Uriah drags his arm again and stops Nigel silent chant
'Flames!' He swears in his mind as the rocket explodes to the pumpkin and engulfs the red-head girl! Still dragged by Uriah, he still witnesses the event unfold as he looks behind.
"Will!" the other new girl cries out. "Stay away!" in a pushing gesture she moves the flames away from the red-head named 'Will'.
Nigel now in a fix confusion understands the situation he is in. 'It couldn't be!' He thoughts.
"Ray?" Eric calls on his phone and hides behind a watertank. He is only ten meters away from the Galhot and the Escanor who stands on the school's roof, looking below at the confusion below. He suddenly re-encounters a former teacher, and tries hard not to believe what he sees right now. "Can't reach Nigel right now, But can you see what I'm seeing now?"
A hundred feet beyond, Ray nervously holds up the bow on front of him and pulls the string; a flash of electric light appears between his two shaking fingers, perpendicular to the bow and forms to an arrow that aims to the both of them. "The more you ask, the more I can't release the arrow between my fingers." Ray replies to the phone that is sandwhich by the side of his head and his shoulder. "What should I do, Atlas?"
"Give them a warning, a barrage if you can" Eric's static voice replies through the phone. "Then, I make my me if you can."
"Aye aye captain." Ray replies a lets the cellphone drop to floor as he maintains his archer posture. He curves his fingers on the string and a few seconds leter, a flash of light again appears and forms to two more arrows between the edge of his fingertips. He breathes in concentration, though still nervous with his one eyed open. "Farsight Third Technique." He whispers. "Arrow barrage!"
Suddenly as he lets go, the three arrows swiftly speeds through the air that leaves an electric tail at its end. The three arrows begin to duplicate itself that forms to…
"An arrow barrage!" Vathek exclaims as he points out to the Cedric, the Escanor being.
"What foolishness!" Without thinking a second time, Cedric hastily bursts his powers to the arrows. "Not a single arrow scratches us, it must be doing of a young archer,"
Vathek realizes in return "I don't think it's just a 'young archer'. It must be one of the legionates!"
"Impossible!" Cedric rebuffs. "The Legion of Earth's are extinct!"
"Not until are we around!" Suddenly a silhoutte appears behind the dark and slashes vertically through the air as Cedric backs up and is able to avoid it. It spins aroud hastily and Vathek is also able to avoid it with a slight scarth on his arm.
"That sword!" Vathek exclaims as he notices the peculiar large sword. "Atlas!"
