Talon had been slashed nicely across the stomach and while it wasn't an immediately fatal blow, it wasn't a good one either.  Freya had taken significant damage as well and one of her female friends was in dire need of healing as well.  As the Hunters started to close in, a swarm of black filled the dance floor as the first line of Hunters vanished into voids and the sound of crunching bones was heard.  Syn and his team was standing there as the shadows cleared, directing Tina and the healer to help the students Syn cracked his neck and smiled at the Hunters.<br/><br/>"D'awww.  You guys didn't have to throw such a big welcome home for me.  Still, I'm touched."<br/><br/>He said as he opened his hand as a shadow blade formed over his palm.  Snatching the handle he and the three other males in his team charged the hunters and displayed what real team work looked like.  With their movements, constantly being aware of one another and defending one another's blind spots, not a single Hunter got close and the bodies were falling left and right.  Syn had a constant smile on his face to show that the blood shed and adrenaline of combat was something he truly enjoyed.  Backing up after a hefty number of Hunters fell, Syn was panting a bit as the Hunters seemed to be regrouping their wounded and doing a head count.  Syn looked back as Tina joined the group.  Freya and her friend had been treated while Talon was still being worked on.<br/><br/>Syn looked at the Hunters and locked the exits with his shadows.<br/><br/>"Oh no...none of you are leaving here.  Coming in here and butchering your own, all to kill a few of us?  The kids here weren't deities.  They were humans.  None of you seem to care about your own...so why should we?"<br/><br/>As he said this black shadow hounds began rising out of the floor as Syn snapped his fingers the hounds leapt at the Hunters and tore several of them to pieces.  Soon the floor was filled with screams of panic, agony and death.  Syn and his team slaughtered the remaining Hunters with zero mercy, even when some claimed to be fighting because their families were at risk.  No one on Syn's team cared and it showed as each and every Hunter was cut down like stray dogs.  With the last Hunter dead on the ground Syn released his shadow blade and walked right over to Freya.  Locking a hand around her neck he lifted her right off of the floor and slammed her into the wall hard enough to splinter the concrete.<br/><br/>"I hope this dance was worth it.  These humans...these kids all died today because you wanted to come here to check something?  Fuck you.  That pride you have.  I'm going to dedicate the rest of your time in Lancaster and make sure that when you graduate, you won't have pride because I'm going to beat it out of you."<br/><br/>Dropping her to the ground he looked at her friends.<br/><br/>"You three are being held back a year.  You will not be graduating with your class thanks to this.  Tina, clean this up please."<br/><br/>While she was removing the bodies, Syn looked at Diem and glared at her.  Opening a portal to the Head Master's office he tossed Freya, her friends, Talon and Diem through like they were all bags of garbage.  Each of them landing flat on their faces as the Head Master was sitting behind his desk waiting for them.  Just as Syn had said, Freya and her team were being dropped a year.  Talon was being confined to Lancaster and Diem was going to be fitted with a bracelet that acted a lot like house arrest.  If she went near any kind of portal leading to the human realm, it would cause a pain that would make her think she was dying.  While they were getting their asses chewed by the Head Master then escorted to their rooms, Freya was forbidden from seeing Talon as he still needed to heal.  Syn and his team spent the next hour in a half cleaning up any traces of them being there and made it look like the Hunters had done all of the killing.<br/><br/>Syn and his team then headed back to Lancaster and had a nice long chat with the Head Master.  Since this little trip was all Freya's idea, Syn had the Head Master call a student wide assembly meeting for the next day.  Every student was required to be present.
