"I can feel the essence of what my dark self left behind."  Valarinth spoke.  "Whatever we're dealing with...it's at least partially due to whatever he did.  I'm sorry I cannot be of help this time...it may need all of your power to defeat this evil though."  She explained, feeling a little guilty for her part in Dark Val's creation seventeen years ago.  She was worried that this may be too much for even all the people here combined.  Just then, the dark creatures started breaking through the walls then swallowing students and teachers, absorbing their screaming bodies into their forms and drawing their power out into the virus strengthening it even more than it already was.<br/>"No!"  Screamed Ikaria as the creature's broke through.  She then focussed her voice on singing to protect those individuals who remained, but it was fast becoming a strain on her energies.<br/><br/>((basically, those who post from this point onwards are the only ones not devoured and absorbed by the virus.  Assume that anyone who hasn't posted has been devoured...there is a chance they're not around with the rest of us, but until people post assume they're not there.))
