As soon as the first drop of tears fell from Alex's eyes, Kid leaped into the air and brought his foot down onto the roof. The meister and weapon leaped from the spot and onto one of the surrounding roofs. Izzy made it and looked around for her weapon. A blur went past her and landed near the school almost a hundred feet away.
Alex groaned and coughed from the amount of dust and the bit of blood that came from his mouth. He sensed that his brother was going after him in the confusion of the dust and brought his arms up to lessen the impact, to no avail. Who or what ever was controlling Kid was making him go past his physical limitations. Especially in his previous state, Alex sighed and in his soul, he knew that he needed to stop his brother. His head and his heart, on the other hand, were against it. Alex had never once raised a harming hand towards his brother and he didn't want to start now. However, he needed to save his brother and if it meant hurting him enough to subdue him? Then, so be it.
The moment that Kid appeared in front of Alex, the older brother looked ready for the attack. As Kid got closer, Alex fought with himself to bring his fist forward. Successfully hitting his brother back, the older brother jumped into the air. Everyone watched Alex as he was over Kid, his fist connecting to his younger brother and the pure destruction of the impact of the punch. Alex landed on the outside of the massive crater. He whispered something that no one could hear, the next second two cats appeared next to him and the brothers along with the cats were gone. Leaving behind, a bunch of perplexed and overwhelmed people.

Alex appeared back at Gallows Manor, in the lower levels of the house. It was a part of the house where they used for training and where they kept the man-made weapons for weapons training. Kid hated the room cause none of the weapons were symmetrical, but he loved being there when his brother would weapon train.
(Even if Alex was a weapon, he was still trained in Reaper combats, hand-to-hand combat and weapons training.)
(the adults were shocked to see that Alex was a master at different weapons.)
In the middle of the room, was a circle covered in different runes and symbols. The cats, that appeared when Alex called for them, sat on the outside of the circle. Each sat on either side of the older brother. The ragdoll cat looked up at Alex.
"Are you ready to begin, young master?"
Alex sat on the floor, an ancient tome open in front of him. He inhaled and exhaled to calm his building nerves.
"Yeah, let's get started before the others get here."
The exotic looking cat sat on his head and purred loudly.
"Then, let's begin~~"

Izzy stared at the place where her weapon was and stared at the empty spot.
"Holy shit...wait where'd they go?"
Izzy turned to look at Soul and Black*Star trying to out yell each other about what had happened. The meister quickly placed a hand on their mouths to keep them quiet.
She turned around and gestured for everyone to follow her. Once, they reached the manor, Izzy had to quickly grab onto Soul and Black*Star to keep them from running into the house. The feel of magic was heavy in the air. The young meisters and weapons looked ready to charge into the house, to fight the supposed witch that might be in there.
Izzy rolled her eyes. The protection runes that are on the property make it almost impossible for a witch to enter. Izzy rolled her eyes again when the younger ones started talking about witches again. Izzy walked up to the door and opened it. Taking off her shoes at the entrance, she quickly made her way to the stairs that lead to the basement, or the lower levels. She used soul perception and saw that Alex and the cats were down there. She hopped down the stairs two at a time and everyone else followed close behind. Approaching the door, she stopped and turned towards the large group.
"I don't know what's going on behind there, but we may have to stay by the door only."
They nodded reluctantly. Izzy turned and knocked on the door, she heard a tiny scratch behind the door and opened it. Alex was sitting on the floor, his back was towards the group, Izzy looked down at the ground and saw a white ragdoll cat and picked him up.
"Hello there, Keiran~"
The ragdoll purred and leaned into the hand that was petting him.
"Hello, young mistress."
"Is he almost done?"
The ragdoll stopped purring and turned towards the young reaper sitting on the ground. The cat frowned and looked at the meister.
"I don't know what he's doing, but the ritual he's doing was supposed to be done almost 7 minutes ago. I don't know if young master Alexander has started another ritual alongside the protection one. Kai's assisting him though."
Izzy frowned and looked at Alex. From behind, it looked like the reaper was exhausting himself. His breathing was heavier than usual and he really looked pale. Well, paler than usual. She looked down at Keiran in silent question, the ragdoll nodded and she cautiously stepped into the room. She peeked over his shoulder at the tome that was in front of him and nearly fainted on the spot.
"A SOUL SEARCHING SPELL?!"
