The Blue Angel couldn't help but feel the uneasiness in the campus of YUME. Something was terribly wrong and all he had done was watched. He had watched Ananda fall and Zohn stuck down; had watched the security team at their work; had watched metal doors swing closed in a lockdown...and still did nothing. He could not do anything, not when he knew what had happened, but could not find the perpetrator. Even at a fighting school it was obvious that they were all too vulnerable. A lockdown would not and had not solved a thing. He had searched and felt for the attacker, but when everything was uncertain it was like a thick veil had clouded his mind and he could not concentrate, at least, not enough to find what he searched for.
His thoughts were interrupted as he snapped his head towards the medical centre. In the next moment the whole aura of the school seemed to twist itself at once, the shock of which almost knocked the Angel from where he stood, high above the ground atop a light-post. He leapt into the air with a few strokes of his wings and let the rush of air blowing past him help him regain equilibrium. He hovered there in the air, staring at the direction from which the strange sensation came. Gradually, everything evened out again, as it usually did. YUME really was very adaptive and the Blue Angel did not mind taking at least part of the credit for that. He wondered if perhaps the intruder had something to do with the most recent disturbance, but as quickly dismissed the notion as he gazed towards the medic area.
He was silent, contemplating it as he tried again to locate whoever had felled Ananda and Zohn, but again such an attempt was in vain, even for the Angel.
As he once more alighted upon the lamppost he wondered whether or not a physical appearance was in order, still looking in the direction of the medical centre. He was certain he had seen something unusual.
A subtle blue haze surrounded him, making it seem as though he had faded into the sky... |
