The moment he stepped his foot onto school grounds, Nox was greeted by an undesirable duo. He couldn't help but smirk. These two were exactly the ones he wanted to meet here first for the sole purpose of getting rid of them.
"Well, well, if it isn't the charcoal-colored freak." Kamran greeted nastily, grinning with his razor sharp teeth in clear view. "Why back at school? There's nothing to do here, classes are over... Unless, you wanted to go for a round two."
Nox slightly tilted his head mockingly. "A round two, hm? I would love to. However, I'm warning you, things will be much different..." He chuckled slightly. "Much, much different..."
Enzo guffawed wholeheartedly. "I'm sure you mean different as in more snot is going to beaten out of you than ever before! No teachers are around to make sure that us boys are here on our best behavior. So be warned, you may not be able to move for a while once we're done finished with you!" The evolved gastly smirked, clenching his levitating claws into large fists, ready to give a bruising.
"So be it. Just try and make my condition worse than it already is." The dusclops taunted, motioning for the thugs to take a swing at him. "I dare you to try."
"With pleasure!" Kamran approached with no attacks seemingly at the ready. In an instant, he disappeared as if the shadow underneath him swallowed him whole. Enzo took his place in front of Nox in order to distract him with a fierce punch engulfed in darkness. Nox knew what they were planning.
The punch was thrown with great speed and power, only to be caught by Nox's dominant hand. Kamran appeared from behind with a devastating faint attack ready to hit the target with an intent on brutally damaging the opponent. Nox narrowed his eye and swung his free hand right into the striking sableye's torso with a horrifically powerful force capable of smashing cinder blocks into smithereens. Kamran screeched as his back impacted against the blacktop hard, causing him to gasp for air.
Enzo didn't take the time to hesitate, even if Nox has proven himself to be quite serious in this fight. He sent an orb of shadow straight at the mummy Pokémon's side, only to have the attack be smacked away by the back of the cyclops's hand. The orb sheared through the trunk of the dead tree, causing the upper half of it to collapse.
"My turn." Nox sneered. He released Enzo's fuming fist from his hold once Kamran had picked himself up and let out a battle cry, now on the rampage to make sure Nox were to be more dead than he already had been after the brawl. Nox sidestepped away from the punch which had been unleashed, which evidently went right into Kamran's jaw.
With a sadistic fury hinted in his eye, a wave terrifyingly strong negative energy flew at the punks, which blew them back a distance once it had made its mark. Immediately, they staggered up, readying their strongest attacks and unleashing them on their foe. Kamran's shadow extended to knock Nox back, who fell onto the concrete. Enzo landed a painful sucker punch right into the side of the blackened ghost's face, causing him to cry out in agony.
Nox pushed himself back up swiftly and pulled a fast one into Enzo's side. He shoved the haunter out of the way and went straight for his leader, sweeping another pulse of enraged emotions into the tiny imp, knocking him back onto the ground once more. "I will be the one to end this." Nox spat. "I've always wanted to turn the tides..." He cracked his knuckles, ready to take another swing.
"Boss!" Enzo shouted, flying over as fast as he could. Shadow balls were fired at the dusclops's feet, in which he hopped over and landed, glaring at the haunter with intense spite. Enzo stared at Nox directly in the eye, fear suddenly taking charge. He felt his hands become numb and his eyes unable to blink. His entire body had become immobilized from the deadly gaze. "Wh-what is this?" He panicked, trying to move but he couldn't budge at all.
Kamran had staggered back up with a little more fight left in him. "You little shit..." He snarled, claws raised and ready to pierce through Nox's bandages. Enraged, he sprinted and pounced at Nox, who caught him by the neck. Kamran squeaked, now unsure of what to say or do as Nox used the same move to render him immobile.
"I think it's about time for you to take your medicine..." Nox stated in a bone-chilling tone. He raised his palm which suddenly became a sickening violet hue. A hissing could be heard, as well as the bubbling of a dangerous substance. "Open wide." He muffled the sableye with his palm and injected a vicious toxin into the small ghost's system. Once finished with the task at hand, he dropped Kamran to the ground, leaving him to writhe as the poison slowly ate away at his circulatory system. His voice began to dry as he called for Enzo to help.
"I'm tired of this game." He picked him up again. A sickening rip reached Enzo's ears, which made him feel nauseated. Salty tears welled up in the corner of his eyes and fell. At this, Nox couldn't help but laugh at the haunter's pain of losing his now mutilated leader. Although he could not move, Enzo's body started to shake on instinct rather than the desire to do so.
"I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry, really! I'm sorry for everything!" The haunter continued to throw apologies out of the blue as Nox approached him in an ominous fashion. All of Enzo's cries for mercy were ignored by the revenge-craved dusclops. "No... No... NO! N-"
A bloodcurdling scream rang throughout the campus, a now dead haunter laying on the playground with his eyes rolled back to the inside of his head.
"And that is how a proper beating is done." Nox dusted his hands, now dripping with the haunter's thick ectoplasm. "It was a matter of time until your doings were to be repaid. Thanks for all of the misery, you two. It was all I needed to destroy your lives."
A drifloon gazed through the window in sheer devastation and shock. The one Callia loved had died, and there was nothing she could do about it. She was too frozen in her own denial that she couldn't call on a teacher to solve the problem and protect the lives at stake. Instead, she fainted, hoping this was all a dream.
For a moment, Nox paused, staring blankly into nothingness. The silence was broken until he saw a fin protruding from behind a boulder. "So I'm not alone... Come out, Price, Chandelle."
Both of the ghosts behind the large stone gasped and went to take their leave until their worst nightmare reappeared in front of them.
"You two aren't getting away, either. This is for ignoring my pleas for help!" Infuriated, he swatted at the frillish and evolved litwick with a harsh swing of his hand, knocking them into what they used as a hiding place.
"All you did was stand to the side and give me suspicious glances. I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU!" His fist pounded down on the lampent and smashed her face into pieces. Her corpse was thrown to the side and miserably laid lifeless as the flame from within herself had burned out. Price gazed up at the murderous mummy, swallowing all of the courage he had and faced his fate.
Four bodies sat on the blacktop, lifeless. Steadily, Nox took heavy breaths and grinned. "It's because of your actions that you ended up this way." He lowered his eyelid. "Isn't that right, Apollo...?" He turned to the golett who had been watching from the roof the entire time.
"It's unfortunate I cannot get rid of you yet... The staff will find out any minute now... So it'd be best if I let myself inside. Try not to be a nuisance." He began to float away. "The teacher's son is next..." Nox had been lost from Apollo's line of sight and earshot once he had went around the corner.
With a stare full of sadness and regret, Apollo stared down at his fallen friends. They had always been there for him, even if he was a smarty who was considerably uninteresting to the more popular crowd. They had been there for him, now he must do what they would want him to do now, and that was to make sure that Nox didn't destroy the school and everyone in it.
"...I'll do it for the both of you." He shook his head. "For everyone." He slightly retracted his legs from the surface of the roof and bolted down through the double doors, speeding through the hallways to inform the principal of the threat.
