Outside the second-year building, out in the open field, Rebecca[Layla] and Zamier[Vorden] were still patiently waiting. Tony[Peter] had gone in a while ago, but now they started to wonder what was taking him Tony[Peter] so long.
"Do you think something might have happened to him?" Rebecca[Layla] asked, looking at the two second years that stood directly outside the building, like they were guard dogs.
"I'm not sure. He doesn't look like the type that's good at lying, " Zamier[Vorden] replied to her question. "Then again, he did fool me and Archer[Quinn] before, without us having a clue."
"Would you stop being so salty about that? It's getting annoying, " Rebecca[Layla] said, getting sick of the fact that Zamier[Vorden] seemed to be putting Tony[Peter] down whenever they talked about him. "Right now, all of us are trying to help each other. That's how it should be. That's how this world should have been in the first place before the introduction of powers came and changed everything."
Zamier[Vorden] could tell that there seemed to be some sort of pain behind Rebecca[Layla]'s words. Then again, it was normal for people, who were of the lower class, to be unhappy with the current system. Before the war with the Oregon[Dalki], everyone had a voice in some way. They had a right to vote and they had the chance to change things.
But after the war that all changed. Now, if you were of a lower class, the people in power don't care about what you think.
"It's not the powers themselves that are at fault, " Zamier[Vorden] replied. "It's the people at the top who made the current system, who are at fault."
Eventually, the two of them felt they had waited for far too long. They came to the conclusion that it wasn't likely that Tony[Peter] was going to come out anytime soon, they had a feeling something might have happened. With that in mind, the two of them decided to stop waiting out front, and started to head around the back. There was no entrance to get into the school from the back since the second-year building was up against the school walls which surrounded the entire military camp.
But perhaps, they could find some other entrance, either by climbing some walls, or through some other means.
The two of them needed to be careful that they weren't seen while they were sneaking around, so the two of them would be using Rebecca[Layla]'s abilities to make sure of that. When they got around to the back side of the building, they could see another student standing guard there. Using Rebecca[Layla]'s powers, they both lifted up a couple of stones, and threw them to distract the student.
"Are you ready?" Rebecca[Layla] asked with a smile on her face. When she realised what kind of face she was making, she quickly stopped. She couldn't believe she was actually having fun sneaking around and causing trouble. And with Zamier[Vorden] of all people.
"As I thought, you do look a little cute when you are smiling, " Zamier[Vorden] said as a response.

Tony[Peter] was patiently waiting outside the place where he had suggested. While waiting, Tony[Peter] started to look around the place. Since there were no exits, there weren't many students moving about back here. There was also a plain wall, but it was nearly impossible for someone to scale unless they had some type of Skill[ability].
As Tony[Peter] continued to look at the wall, he was wondering if he, in his current state, could do such a thing. But just as he was in the middle of this thought, he heard a voice from behind.
"Hey! Hey, Tony[Peter]! It's been a while, hasn't it?" Damian[Earl] said, as he walked closer before adding: "You know, lately, Wesley[Duke] has been blaming me for all of the failed attempts against Zamier[Vorden], so I haven't been getting any rewards, how are you going to solve that for me?"
While walking closer towards Tony[Peter], Damian[Earl] looked at what was in Tony[Peter]'s hands, which were the level 2, 3 and 4 earth Skill[ability] books. Although Damian[Earl] was already a level four earth user and had no need for the books himself, he could always sell them on the market to earn some money.
"Hand them over, you piece of crap, " Damian[Earl] said as he slapped Tony[Peter] across the face, leaving a red mark.
The truth was, Damian[Earl] didn't really care about the books. And if he asked for them, then Tony[Peter] was likely to give them to him. All he wanted to do was vent out his pent-up frustrations on someone, and Tony[Peter] was the perfect target.
Just a few moments ago, Wesley[Duke] did not give him any reward for his efforts, unlike what he had promised. 'Did he fail his task?' Damian[Earl] pondered. Not at all. He managed to convince Tony[Peter] to push his friend, just like they had asked.
With that in mind, why wasn't he being rewarded for it? On top of that, after everything he had gone through, he had been beaten up by Gyro[Erin]. Soon after that, his friends had abandoned him, saying they no longer wanted to help him.
To them, it was too dangerous and they didn't want to get hurt by Gyro[Erin] as well. Then, later on, he was further punished by Zamier[Vorden]. He still couldn't sleep right after what Zamier[Vorden] had done to him.
Tony[Peter] looked at the mark on his face. Usually, in a situation like this, his hands would be shaking. In the past, he had been so mentally broken that even Damian[Earl] raising his hands would make him flinch…but not today. Something felt different.
After the scenes of Damian[Earl]'s neck being ripped out had appeared in his head, strange thoughts started to appear in his mind. 'What if I could make that a reality?' Tony[Peter] thought.
Damian[Earl] then proceeded to kick Tony[Peter] in the stomach before grabbing him by the collar and throwing him onto the ground.
Tony[Peter] was now in a space between two buildings, namely the second-year building and one of the storage rooms. It was a place that was quite dark, and unless someone purposely went around the back to find them, no one would find out.
"Well then. Isn't this a quiet little place for the two of us to carry on our usual business?" Damian[Earl] asked with a smile.
Tony[Peter] then stood up and responded with a smile, "Indeed, it is."
+++++
After distracting the students who were standing by the side of the building, using the floating stones, they were able to gradually make their way towards the back of the second-year building without being seen.
When they arrived they didn't see anything. It was totally empty, nothing was there, even the set of windows they saw was too high for them to climb up to.
"Come on. Let's keep looking, " Rebecca[Layla] said. "There must be some way to get into the school."
They looked around, but unfortunately they didn't find anything…until Zamier[Vorden] spotted a little alleyway just between the second-year building and the storage room. "Maybe there's a pipe or something we can us to climb up to the windows."
"You have been watching way too many martial arts movies, " Rebecca[Layla] said.
Still, they decided to check it out now that they were here anyway. They had already come this far, and the least they could do is try everything before giving up. As they made their way to the space between the two buildings, they started to hear strange sounds. Certain cracking and gobbling noises were made, as if some type of wild dog was wolfing down its meal.
Finally, they turned the corner, only to see Tony[Peter] there. However, he wasn't alone. His hands and mouth were covered in blood while a dead body wearing a student's uniform laid in front of him.
The student's body had parts of its limbs torn off, also some bones with little bits of flesh still attached could be seen, and they looked as if someone had hungrily ripped the meat right off the bone.
"Tony[Peter]?" Rebecca[Layla] said. "What have you done?"
