For a while now, the students that had been fighting for the Dark Faction remembered what had occurred in the past. About their escape in trying to get out of the academy. They were left with no choice after everything that had happened.
One of the main clan leaders had been killed, and the Dark Faction, on the order of the principal, was treating all of the students like lab rats. If the rats didn't act the way they wanted, then they would get rid of them.
With this fear in mind, and already being put through a lot, they attempted to escape. They had the help of many along the way, but in the end, they were caught by none other than Murkel himself.
The students knew they were no match to take on Murkel. At the time, they hadn't even gone through intense training with Amir, and Ricktor hadn't even reached the middle stage.
