Taylor winced in pain at the hit, but quickly got up from the ground. He knew that if he stayed on the ground that he would be an easy target. "Thanks Sora," he replied before getting back into the fight.

Sora nodded and swung his keyblade at a charging Eraser. He would stay closer to Taylor and make sure that his trainer wasn't hurt again.

Taylor stood back to back with his Bishie, a sword in his hand. He was glad that Michael's friends had come to help them.

Rikku had switched to her Alchemist Dress sphere, wanting the abilities she gathered from it to help Yugito out. It seemed as if a lot of the Erasers wanted her hide, especially since they remembered her blood, or so the Al Bhed assumed.

Salem swung his sword at the erasers and was helping a young soldier out. He knew what it was like to be in a major battle and not knowing what he needed to do.

The young solider thanked Salem for assisting him before heading back into the fight.

Jean ducked under a sword slash before retaliating with an uppercut, charging the fist with blue dragon energy.

" You guys want to watch something? " Carly asked , seeing that some of them were looking bored. Carly wanted to be fighting outside, but understood she was better off in here.

"Sure. What did you have in mind Carly?" Eve asked.

"How about you pick? "Carly said with a smile, knowing her friend had good choice in movies. Carly just wanted to take her mind off what was happening above ground.

"Alright," Eve said as she went to see what type of movies they had down here. Seeing a romance film on the shelf, she put it in. She just hoped that Kirito was okay with it.

Kirito didn't mind, but hoped it didn't make him feel sad. He seemed to be thinking about Asuna a lot since had had encountered Salem again.

Eve glanced over at Kirito and noticed his sad expression before realizing what the cause most likely was , and felt bad for picking it. She wished there was something that she could do for the black swordsman.

Carly could see how sad Kirito was and understood. It was never easy losing someone you were close to. Carly didn't do many things that reminded her of her mom for a while, but knew she did that because she was hurting and needed to take care of Deanna.

Jean brought her arms in front of her in an X formation, blocking the kick from the Eraser, wincing lightly at the strength behind it. What she didn't know was that Ark was right behind her, slashing at the Eraser that was just about to stab his claws through her. "I don't think so," He growled out.

Taylor was glad the Eraser numbers were going down and that the higher ups of the School were ow fighting. He noticed they didn't fight as well as the Erasers, but still could hold thier own.

Ark was glad that the Erasers were starting to dwindle, especially after the close call with Jean, going back to back with the female fighter. "Brings back memories, doesn't it?" He asked his first Bishie, feeling her nod lightly. Hopefully soon, this battle would end and everything could go back to normal...or at least somewhat normal.

Zero blocked an attack with his fans before switching to his hammer, quickly sending the member of the school into unconsciousness. "20" he said as Leglius used one of his weapons to take down another member.

"25"

"Damn you!" Zero shouted as Leglius chuckled.

Michael was arresting one higher up that he had caught running away. His bosses wanted as many members of the School alive as possible , since they still needed the location of their old base. The information that was stored there would help solve many of the unresolved cases they had.

Yugito finally had enough of this and let her energy form around her before she started using a combination of the Shadow teleport she learned from Renamon, as well as the Lightning Palm that she learned from her father years ago. It was the first time that she had to use it in a while, but she was starting to get annoyed at all of this.

Salem noticed that the School members were retreating and slashed as many as he could. He knew this way they would be easier to capture and would heal them later. He wasn't going to let them get to his friends.

Alex scanned the battlefield, glad to see that his Bishies and friends were doing alright, even if they had small scratches and/or wounds. He was glad to have Nita on any healing duty and had a feeling that Kit was alright with protecting her as she healed any wounds

" Alex gave the all clear, but wants us to wait till he and the others get back. " Simon stated. He knew everyone was getting bored of being inside the room.

"Alright," Carly responded. She knew that after everything was finished, she would have to explain what Morpheus told Deanna and herself about their mother.

Eve nodded and closed her eyes. She hoped to travel with the others, but if Salem stayed , then she would too.

Alex checked to make sure that everyone was alright before giving the all-clear message, but wanted them to wait just to make sure that there were no stragglers. He hoped that Michael could be able to get some information from the prisoners that they captured.

Michael had just gotten word that he was to be staying here in town to rebuild the gym. His bosses felt he was the right person to be a leader , but he wasn't so sure. He would need to ask everyone what they thought.

Nita swept a hand over her head, wiping the sweat off of it as she finished the last wound on their prisoners. She was just glad that she could rest and gain some of her energy back. Of course, these prisoners were bound with manacles provided by Leglius, which put a lot of ease on the female wizard. She then headed off to find Alex and inform them that they were ready for interrogation, knowing that both Zero and Leglius wouldn't allow the prisoners to try anything.
