SPERO
I thrust my spear forward, Dean slashed at him, and Rex threw a hook at Sor but he easily dodged all three of our attacks by doing a front flip in the air and over us. He did a 180 spin and diagonally downward slash at us but we proceeded to do the same and blocked it. The slash was strong enough to blast us from the air to the other side of the street. We landed on our backs and left a small crack on the sidewalk.
"You good bro?" Dean turned and asked.
I turned to look at him. "Yeah and you?"
He looked forward. "Same here."
Right as Dean said that Sor appeared right in front of him. He had his sword above him ready to swing.
Dean lunged forward with his katana and stabbed him. He looked up, "You're too slow." He smirked. Sor fell onto Dean's shoulder and dropped his weapon.
"And you're too stupid." Sor smirked and punched Dean to his stomach.
"Fu-." Dean's spit came out.
He then grabbed Dean's neck and lifted him up in the air. "You're so fuckin-"
Sor turned to see Rex from behind latched on his waist and let go of Dean. Sor kept elbowing Rex to get him off but Rex wouldn't let go. Rex tried to suplex him but Sor elbowed him causing Rex to drop him and stumble back.
Sor turned to hit him but me and Dean were quickly onto him. I thrust my spear forward and he quickly back stepped to dodge it. Dean slashed at his neck and Sor weaved the attack, then returned a counterattack by swinging his sword right at him.
Right when Sor was about to cleave his body into two, 5 different colored arms appeared from Dean's waist stopping Sor's attack from cutting his body into two. Dean slashed upwards, splitting his torso diagonally. I quickly thrusted my spear at Sor, stabbing into him causing his top half of his body to implode.
Foam bubbles appeared from his waist up, regenerating his top half of his body. We all quickly stepped back, getting ready for an attack after his regeneration. A sudden shockwave occurred once his body fully formed. All of us were 10 feet away from Sor.
Sor appeared right in front of Dean like before. Dean anticipated this by predicting where Sor was going to be, catching Sor by stabbing him before he made his way to Dean. I was running towards them both while Rex was flying to them.
"Bro, you must really have a hate boner for me." Dean said as he pulled his sword back and jumped away from Sor.
"You know mindlessly swinging wouldn't work right?" Sor swung his sword at Dean again. Dean jumped and spun over it. Sor slashed downwards, ignoring what Dean said. Dean blocked it and put his right hand on the flat end of his katana. He pushed his sword upwards knocking Sor's sword back and above his head. He pulled back his sword and stabbed Sor in the guts. Sor teleported his sword to his left hand and stabbed Dean back. Some of Dean's blood squirted out of him. He even spat some blood out.
He leaned back and pulled Dean's katana out of his stomach. He dropped it infront of Dean.
"You think you're the only one who can ignore pain? You make me laugh. You were so cocky that you thought I wouldn't fall for your own trick. Try and pick up your sword. Oh wait you can't."
Out of nowhere 5 pairs of different colored arms came out of Dean's body and held Sor's body still. A pair was choking his neck, another pair had arms wrapped around his waist, two pairs were holding onto his legs, and the last pair of hands broke Sor's chokehold on Dean and were holding onto Sor's wrist. They begin to lift Sor into the air. The arms pushed Sor back making space between Dean and Sor. Dean removed Sor's sword from his stomach.
"I just did dumbass. Now try and pick up your sword. Oh wait you can't. Dumb motherfucker" Dean said as he picked up his sword. "Spero, King, get your ass over here. This is our only chance to kill this son of a bitch."
I started haul ass sprinting towards Dean and Sor but fatigued kicked in. My pace started to slow down and I almost tripped. Dean flipped his sword and pointed the edge toward his stomach.
He stabbed himself. "DAWG WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING." I said as I was still trying to run towards them but it was more of a jog.
He smirked. "Togoku sutairu: Yoso no rensa." All of his clones became chains and were connected to the sword. They held Sor down to his knees, arresting his body and restricting movement from any of his limbs. "THIS IS YOUR ONE CHANCE, DON'T… FUCKING LOSE IT!"
Some of the chain was burning him, froze some parts of him, and covered him in stone. He yelled so loud in pain. Sor was beginning to break free though. His eyes red, burning in anger. He struggled against the chains and was wrestling his way out. He was almost out of it and I was still at least 5 feet away from both of them.
"SPERO, HE'S ALMOST FREE!" I decided and fuck it.
I stopped myself hard and my legs almost gave out. And used up all of my energy and threw the spear right at Sor. Just as the spear was about to hit him, he broke free and was now on the floor. The chains became the ghost again and were sent flying back. Rex was about to be onto him but one of the ghosts that went flying hit Rex back. Dean fell onto his knees.
Sor turned around and jumped to flee. Before he can, The spear went straight through incredibly fast and made impact into his chest causing a hole into it to disappear. It fell to the ground after it hit him. I stumbled forward after using so much energy and just laid there on the cold floor.
I watched as I laid there, seeing Sor get up to run away. He still had a gaping hole in his chest. He had his hand over the wound while running away. It was slowly regenerating but his hand glowed green. He jumped on the roof of a house then again and disappeared into the night sky. I heard something land then footsteps running behind me.
"What the fuck happened here?" Someone that sounds like a girl said.
And I passed out. Go figure.

LOLA
"Why do we have to go patrolling at night especially when it's Halloween." He whispered.
"You obviously know why, Lex."
"I just think it's dumb."
Lex, my best friend from childhood. Who is very tall. 6'8 to be exact, built like an athlete, and is blond of course. He has green eyes, a lean face, and a sharp jawline that any man would kill for. He basically has the body that most girls want for a boyfriend. Sadly, He's soft spoken and an introvert. Not the toxic type and is and I quote "a nice guy." He hates social interactions and prefers to be by himself.
We're both wearing our academy uniforms. It's a white button up long sleeve shirt, black wool trousers, and black ankle boots. While I'm wearing a skirt because… I just didn't feel like it today. With a cape on our backs with a symbol of purple snapdragon. You can easily see the outline of his body as the shirt hugs it.
"No, you think it's dumb that we were chosen to do this, not that Halloween has the highest paranormal activities throughout the year."
"I still think it's dumb."
"There's no point in arguing." I sighed.
We walked on the sidewalk of Verenville. The sky and the moon are covered by clouds. You could see the light of the moon through the clouds. Street lights bright enough illuminating the streets. Walking past houses as we scout out local paranormal activities.
I turned to look at him. "How's Evie and you?" I asked.
He sighed and stared as we walked. "We're… fine."
"That bad, huh?"
"Yeah."
"What's going on between you and her?"
"I don't wanna say." He said slowly.
"You know you can tell me anything right?"
"Yeah I know."
"Then tell me."
"Not right now, I just don't feel comfortable telling you right now."
"Oh, alright. Well, you can tell me anytime."
"Thank you, Evie."
"Anytime."
We heard a loud explosion and the ground rumbled. We saw two boys and one familiar with them fighting a ghost at the very end of the next street. I looked at Lex and he looked back.
He grabbed my arm. "Wait, what are you doing?"
He smiled at me then turned around. "Zoom." The sound exploded in front of him and we flew forward to the direction of the explosion.

DEAN
Heh, he ran away. Welp, Sor is definitely gonna make our lives more difficult from here on.
"What the fuck happened here?"
I turned to look who said that and saw there was a girl my age and a dude. The girl was slightly shorter by 5 inches than me while the dude was huge. Bro looks like he is 6 '8.
They were both wearing some kind of uniform. It's a white button up long sleeve shirt, black wool trousers, and black ankle boots. While the girl was wearing the same thing but instead of trousers it was a black knee length pleated skirt. They were wearing a black cape with a symbol on it as a purple snapdragon on the backs of the cape.
She had black short hair that is eye level, and was wearing black eyeliners and some mascara. She looked very goth. The dude on the other hand is straight fucking jacked. Blond hair, green eyes which is weird because it does not go with the blond. Motherfucker looks like the type of dude to pull any bitches.
I pulled my katana out of my chest. FUCK, that shit hurt like a bitch. At least the wound is healing nicely. Oh and Spero is knocked out cold. Motherfucker look dead as fuck. Imagine sleeping like that, face down and belly down. I wonder if people sleep like that and how.
"So are you going to answer my question?" She asked aggressively. "Or do you want us to have to force you to? Hmm?"
Oh I forgor about her. I walked over to Spero and grabbed his wrist. I put my hand over his vein to check his pulse to make sure he aight. Everything seems fine for now.
"I asked what happened here?"
"Chill girl, I just got done getting stabbed like what 3 times? 2 times? In the fucking chest. And almost dying with my bro against an annoying ass ghost who doesn't give up even though he's past his due date."
"And you are?"
"Isn't it called courtesy…" I tilted my head and raised my eyebrow. "for the person who started this convo to introduce themselves first?"
"I am Lola Heartfelt and my teammate here is Lex Lumphrey." She said quickly. "Now answer the goddamn question."
"Well, Nice to meet you both, Lex and Lola. My name is Dean Inoue. Wish we had met under better circumstances but beggars can't be choosers." I smirked.
She glared at me. "And the other question."
"I already did though."
"More direct and clear with specific details, Dean… Inoue."
"Fine. Long story short, Me and my friend." I looked at Spero unconscious and lying on the ground. "Spero who is lying on the floor, unconscious right now fought a ghost named Sor in an abandoned house because we thought it wasn't haunted so we explored and investigated it and it turns out we were wrong. Womp, Womp, Womp."
"That's it?" She said uninterested.
"Yeah basically."
"Well, it seems like a waste of time being here. Lex, I suggest we go somewhere else to see if there's any other paranormal activity."
I stood there stunned because Spero and I had fought for our lives and she said it was a waste of time being here. I can't believe it.
Lex, who didn't say anything, leaned down to her ear and whispered. "Uh-huh, yeah okay." She looked at me. "Wait, you said Sor right?"
"Yeah why?"
She got pale. "Shit, Lex call Mr. Van to get here and send him to our location. I'll go check the house." She ran toward the house while Lex pulled out his phone and called whoever this Mr. Van is.
"He's gone." I yelled.
She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at me. "What do you mean gone?"
"Packed up his shit and left."
"Why?"
"Because his pussy ass was getting his ass beat and dipped when he couldn't handle all that smoke."
"What smoke?"
I facepalmed. "He got away because he was losing and didn't wanna die."
"Exorcized."
"I don't give a fuck about the actual term." I sighed.
We stood there in complete silence for a while.
"So what's gonna happen with us? You guys are gonna kill us or something? Or force us to join you?"
"Fuck no. Who would want you? And I don't know, I have never been in this situation."
I smiled. "You guys never told me who you guys actually are and what you're doing here in the first place."
"We're part of an academy. So for us to pass our first semester we have to do community service like patrolling for paranormal control and all the other stuff that benefits communities."
"Wow, cool. What's the academy called? Can I join? Pretty Please. I love paranormal shit. You guys gotta let me join."
"Can't say it's a secret."
"Whaaaaat? Gatekeeping as much." I shook my head.
"I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get in anyways." Damn who shoved a stick up her ass.
"Oh I will. Me and Spero are newly fresh exorcists and our potential to be one of the greatest are very high. Isn't that right Mr. Van?" I turned to look at the sewer cover between us.
Mist started to form everywhere then boom. The sewer cover popped out and went flying. Then a figure began to form in the mist and appeared out of it.
"Seems you know how to track me, Mr. Inoue." He said as he began to absorb the mist. "You are right about the potential but we'll see if the directors of the school will admit you in. I don't think they will right now as you both haven't graduated from highschool yet."
"Damn that's tough. Anyways, what's going to happen to me and Spero?"
Mr. Van was wearing a black zip up hoodie, a black respirator mask, and black tinted goggles. He also wore black baggy pants and had off brand black track shoes with white socks on. He had his hands in his pocket and mist was coming out of them. Also had mist coming out of his leg holes too. "Go back to living a normal life until you graduate highschool then we can see how strong you are to admit you to the school or not."
"Weren't the damages we caused in the fight going to make people ask questions?"
"Don't worry about that, let us handle the aftermath."
"Alright. What about Spero though, do you guys have a healer or sum?"
"Our healer is coming right now for you two. Don't worry you guys will be home by midnight."
"What time is it right now?"
"It's 10:30."
"Damn it's only been like 20 mins? It felt like forever to be honest."
"Fights are always like that."
"So you got Spero right?"
"If you mean got as in taking care of then yes I do got Spero."
I smirked. "Okay good. I'll leave him to you then."
I closed my eyes and fell flat on my stomach. I passed out.
"I guess I also got you too. Anyways, Lex, how far away is Ms. Floren?"

20 minutes later
10:45 p.m.
Sor opened the door to the safehouse where his peers reside. A coffee table in the middle of the room. Seven chairs were placed sporadically throughout the room but only two people were sitting on their respective chairs.
Isaac Viceroy sitting close to the coffee table, sipping hot tea he made in the safehouse before Sor came in. Wearing a white polo shirt, light brown khakis pants, and black dress shoes. He had his brown hair neatly wrapped in a bun. He has brown eyes that accentuates his hair. He has a smile on as he favorably enjoys tea rather than stupid American coffee.
The other person sitting down directly across Isaac who is currently sipping wine from a bottle she poured on the coffee table is Korina Divina. Wearing a black corset style strapless top with a thigh high slit on her right side and black sleeveless gloves with black pointed heels on. She has crimson red hair with brown eyes and had red lipstick on.
"Sor, why have you called us here, especially at this time?" Korina asked. "I was in the middle of my telenovela. Mexican drama shows are better than what I had expected."
Sor was trembling, still reeling from the fight against Spero and Dean. These bastards didn't understand what I went through Sor thought.
"The Phantom King and the Egors are back. Both Phantom King and Egors bonded with two young boys. They're names are Spero Viceroy and Dean Inoue." He said quickly and out of breath at the end.
"So you lost against two younglings? Embarrassing." She laughed.
"Shut up, Korina. You won't be laughing when they get enrolled in the academy."
She stopped laughing and smiled at Sor. "They'll just be as weak as you are. So why do I care if you can't kill them?"
"They're going to be annoying little flies whom you can't swat after a while. It'll delay our plans for the future."
"Hmm, You may be right but they're just two boys. What can they do anyways? Have a deathmatch with you and barely live? Just stop worrying about it, Sor." She shrugged and took a sip of her wine. "As long as you gave Ken the letters we should be fine."
"About that. I don't have them anymore."
"What do you mean you don't have them?" Isaac asked.
"I was fleeing the area, Issac. What was I supposed to do? Die and still let them have the letters." Sor said.
"You had one job, Sor. And you can't even do that right." Korina said.
"I can't believe you lost to two kids though." Isaac said.
"Oh shut the fuck up, Isaac. I don't care about your fucking sarcasm right now. He's your stupid ass descendant."
"Oh ho? Really? Didn't know I still had any." He raised his eyebrow. "This'll be interesting when we meet."
"And Korina, how was I supposed to know those two idiots would show up?" Sor sighed. "I didn't come here to explain how I got injured, I came here to ask you all how we should proceed against the revival of the Phantom King."
"Our plans haven't changed at all, Sor. Don't worry about it. This little blunder won't bite us in the ass. Everything will go according to plan if we do everything under the radar for a year." Korina said.
"A year? Why not now?"
"Always so impatient. Use your head. You know why we can't attack now." She sipped her wine. "We just don't have the resources yet or the satisfied level of espionage on the academy."
"So you're saying I have to wait one fucking year to kill both those bastards?"
"Yes, Sor. You'll have to wait and I know you hate waiting but what's one more year to us." She glared at Sor. "Oh and can you rewrite that letter to Ken please. He needs to know we haven't ghosted him."
"Is that supposed to be a pun or you mean it literally?"
"Yes." Sor glared at her. "Just fucking write it."
"Fine, I'll rewrite it."
"And also waiting."
"And also waiting." He repeated after her dreadfully.
"Good." She clapped her hands in joy. "I'll be seeing myself out and goodnight to all of you."
Isaac began to rub his chin. "I wonder how my descendant will fare against me." He grinned, not bothering to say goodnight to his peers.
"Goodnight to you too, Korina." Sor said.
