"We gotta kill these fuckers." Matt said.
Nick nodded.
"We're coming with you," Seth said, "or at least I am."
"I'm coming too." Dean said
"Yeah, me too." Roman added.
They waited until the teachers were talking amongst themselves before heading out.
The hallways were dark and empty, someone had used a Deluminator. They spoke in hushed tones, keeping an eye out around them. Matt could feel his heart beat in his chest as they walked, steps magically muffled. Suddenly they heard and explosion. They all looked at each other and ran towards the sound. They ran across the floating staircases and down the hall. They came across Bushi, Hiromu and Daryl.
"もはや!" Hiromu was crying, his cat running alongside him as Bushi dragged him by his hand down the hall.
"Don't go that way!" Bushi yelled at the kids, but he wasn't able to make himself stop running to save them too.
The gang turned the corner. There, over Seiya Sanada's contorting body stood two men dressed in all black. They turned to the approaching kids.
"Zack?" Marty said. Zack was one of the older kids from his neighborhood as a kid.
"Oh hi there Marty." the brit said.
"Taka Michinoku and Zack Sabre Jr." Michinoku said. "You kids want to a good crucifixion?" he asked.
"It's not even all of Suzuki- gun, it's just two of them!" Dean said.
"That's mighty rude of you, just us, sorry to disappoint," Zack Sabre Jr. said.
"Expelliarmus!" Nick yelled firing a shot at ZSJ.
"Aren't you first years?" ZSJ laughed easily deflecting the spell.
Matt felt his stomach drop as he realized they were sorely out matched.
"First years?" Michinoku laughed, "I'm outta here."
He headed down the hall the other way. ZSJ laughed meanly.
"I'll meet up with you, I wanna kill this kid," he said looking at Marty. Matt pulled his friend behind him.
"You'll have to go through us first," he said.
"Oh ho ho, alright big guy," ZSJ laughed again. "Cruxius." He said smoothly, directing his own invented curse at the kid.
"Protego!" Matt yelled, slashing his wand down across the air.
"Expelliarmus!" Seth yelled.
ZSJ deflected the spell again with a flick of the wrist.
"Get outta here Marty!" Seth said.
The kids started running while Seth, Dean, and Roman ran behind them, shouting shield curses, as they retreated.
