"....yeah, so what if I think anyone would've done it? It's true. Don't doubt you would too, if you had the chance, when the chips are down."

"Heroic? The hell's that supposed to mean? It's what I'd do. Heroics don't play into it."

The Kaijin audibly chuckles again.
"My, my. Kasuga....the stories about you really sell you short, huh? Anyway....I can't tell you what the numbers are, Demura. And no, there's no difference."

The Kaijin shakes her head.
"No, of course I'm not going to kill you. Why would I do that? Even if you did transform, saving you would be a matter of just....well...I'll be frank, it would involve fighting you and beating your Inner Demon into submission until you transformed back. Of course, we're hoping NOT to end up there, so we're just going to get you out of here. No, you always have an Inner Demon inside you. That thing you saw, Akari, was your Inner Demon. It's a symptom of the Akuma Seed waking it up; stuff like seeing it walk around at the corner of your vision, hearing your own voice talk at you. The Akuma Seed - that pain you felt- just wakes it up, makes it want to take control. Negative emotions feed it, until it's strong enough to want control, strong enough to offer you power to fulfil your desires if only you'll let it in."
"My partner and I think - we don't know for sure - that if we delay the transformation long enough, the Seed will pop out on its own, and the Inner Demon will go back to sleep, like everyone else's. That's part of why I'm trying to get you out of here - stress can wake it up faster. There's only one other way to not transform into an Akuma, one surefire way."

She looks, firstly at Akihiko, then at Mildred.
"You become a Kaijin."

Akihiko clenches his fist.
"...that power, power like yours.....if I need to fight to save Saya, I will. No matter what, I'll protect her. I'll protect all of you. But....how can I become a Kaijin?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"....to become a Kaijin, you have to wake the Inner Demon up enough that you could potentially become an Akuma, that it promises you everything you want if you let it in. After that....I can't tell you what you'll see. It's different for everyone; your Inner Demon is your own, and I can't tell you what it'll be like."

He shakes his head.
"....if it comes to that....I won't let Saya down. Or Honda. Or you guys."
The Kaijin audibly chuckles.
"....so heroic. My, my. They still make you like this, huh?"

"I can still fight, Sawatari. I'm not gonna back down while Saya's still out here! Not while you guys are are in the lurch. It wouldn't be right for me to sit out, no matter what I'm like right now."

The armored figure is about to speak, and then Shiro and Masaru chime in. She pauses.
"My partner is here already, searching the rest of the school, but...you said a sharp pain?"
She pauses.
"The only things that can enter a Domain or exit it are Kaijin like myself, Akuma, Onibi, and those deliberately dragged in by the Akuma. As none of you know where the Akuma is, and you're clearly not Onibi...."
She exhales.
"I'd like to sugarcoat it, but I can't. All of you, right now, are potential Akuma."

Akihiko's eyes widen.
"...what?"

"I....could be better."
Akihiko winces as he realises he isn't in danger. For the moment. He slumps against the wall, holding his side and checking it with a touch; no wetness, no tenderness. He wasn't as hurt as you'd expect, smashed into a concrete wall at that speed. Most people would be seriously injured, but this was like taking a hard slam during sparring at the dojo, or a hard hit with a chairshot; with the crowd Mildred ran with, and the solid he owed her for helping him with Sasanuma a year ago, Akihiko sometimes got tied up with things he shouldn't have been.

Yes, the sort of things Saya fretted on him about, but trusted him enough to know he was doing right by others.

He limply takes Mori's handshake, too busy holding his side, nodding at him quietly before looking at their savior.
"Took a pretty hard bump there, but I'll live."

The armored figure stares at him briefly, whispering under her breath.
"...an Onibi struck him and yet he's still...and they're all in here and not the Akuma....could it be?"
She shakes her head, continuing to speak. She gestures for the group to start following her as she glides towards the entrance of the school.
"I'll make it quick, let's walk and talk. You're in a Domain, the realm of an Akuma. Akuma are created from people's negative urges. Your deepest fears, your darkest desires, everything you want to keep hidden from the world, they create an Inner Demon, and that thing turns you into an Akuma when it's unleashed. Those creatures I just got rid of, those are Onibi, fragments of the mind of whoever the Akuma is. They're mindless, usually attack anything in they see in the Domain, except when near the Akuma. I'm what you would call a Kaijin. Like Sawatari here said, like a transforming superhero on some TV show. We fight Akuma, my partner and I.

Unfortunately, Akari, you're not in some sensationalist conspiracy story in a bad newspaper. This is very real, and we need to get you all out of here."
She continues.
"If I'm right, the exit should be near here. But....we'll likely run into the Akuma on the way out."

Akihiko's eyes widen as he follows.
"...no way. That means....Saya...."
Despite being clearly hurt, he surges forwards.
"I have to save Saya! Quickly. Maybe I can...."

Right as Mori intends to run away with Shoji, a set of three tentacled rock monsters appear in front of him, barring his path and hemming him back towards the group. Shiro and Mildred's shots towards the eyes are intercepted by another tentacle, metallic appendages hanging both girls hanging them upside down. Akihiko rushes towards Mildred, only to have his hand caught by one, and him lifted into the air the same as his compatriots, before-

[Now Playing: Theme of Scathach ~Flash Control~]

A purple and black blur speeds between the party and the monsters.

A thin violet line appears in the blink of an eye across every beast. The beasts suddenly stop moving, their tentacles hanging limply, with Mildred, Akihiko and Shiro tumbling to the floor.

Another moment passes, before the beasts, cut into two, fall to the floor and fade into moonlight.

In front of Mori and Shoji floats a feminine figure, robot-like in form, clad in black armor with glowing purple lines running throughout pulsing with light, wing-like projections with hexagonal "feathers" behind her and blades like limbs separating out into fingers as she stops them. Her legs, instead of ending in feet, end in razor-sharp tips, glimmering in the faint moonlight permeating the Domain.

"My, my. Are you all lost in here? You're not hurt, are you?"

To those in the know, she was a figure only less known than the White Knight of Mishima, and more known than the Ocean King. The three most well-known of their kind, mysterious figures who appeared out of nowhere to save those trapped by the Akuma, she was the most destructive, the most mysterious.

The Black Princess of Calamity.

As the group of students make their way down through the school, odd sounds echo through the Domain. Sounds of metal breaking stone, the sound of a roaring flame, a few voices.

Akihiko inhales sharply, and suddenly yanks Mori towards himself, pulling away.
"Look out!"

Shoji, Masaru, and Shiro barely manage to avoid the wall to their left exploding inwards, as Mildred, Akihiko and Mori are split from the party. Through the newly created wall, emerge not one, not two, but five of the same rock creatures that Akihiko, Mildred and Shiro barely managed to get away from one of. Processing the situation quickly, Akihiko moves swiftly.

Akihiko looks to Shiro and Mildred.
"We can't fight that many! You two, go for the eyes and get over here! Shizuko, Demaru, get over here, now! Mori-"
The boy notices a tentacle swinging for Mori. Without skipping a beat, he pushes him aside and away from the tentacle, getting swatted in Mori's place and thrown into a wall, bouncing off of it with a groan.
"Damn..."
The creature that struck Akihiko rounds on him, tentacles flailing again for another chance to hit, while Akihiko pulls himself to his feet, fists up.

Hisao barks orders as his soldiers get into place.
"Men! You have your orders. Capture the fugitives. We are not here for Sangonomiya. Do as our orders dictate and no more."

Tomoe looks back to the party.
"I still have a few friends among their leadership. We might be able to buy ourselves some time if we can find them."

"....alright, lads. Hold on. This is more people than I've done before with this. Let's go!"
The same, strange feeling washes over you, as Alice grants you clairvoyance once again.
"Well, since we're likely gonna be in some real deep doodoo if I don't help...I might as well throw my lot in with you. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve, fater all."
Momo Mitsui has joined the party.
Meanwhile....
Behind the party, as a group of Yugen shinobi gather....
"...aw man. First mission and we gotta fight some Gnosis-wielders? Jeez, Gramps. What the hell? And Yuki-tan is probably...wait."
The red-headed young man squints.
"....is that....General Todayama? Holy...and she's....wait. She's fighting with the rebels? Wait, is that....no way. That's...that's the lord's kid. That's Tsubouchi Setsurou! Oh. Oh hell."
He groans.
"...alright. I just gotta stay calm. Okay. We'll get through this. If I can slip out, join them real quickly....nobody should get into trouble. I'm really NOT up for finding out what Tsubouchi Setsurou can fight like with a Gnosis....I've heard the stories."

In front of the party....
"....so that was the general's plan. Intriguing."
The young woman sighs.
"....still, with Lord Hosokawa assigning me here....Tanjiro's going to get himself into some serious trouble. I don't particularly want to go against the general, either, but...."
She tightens the grip on her spear.
"I'll have to figure out how to get through this day."

Class 3-F finds themselves standing in a field, around which the stands are set up. The field is set up with small hills, forests, and even a pond; the work of Professor Ververs, no doubt.

At the center, upon a platform floating upon Alphinite crystals, is Professor Carver.
"Good morning, students of Solrise Academy and attendees from near and far! Today is the first match of the Solrise Academy Intra-Class Exhibition Tournament, where the skills of the best and brightest members of our esteemed academy will show off their skills!"
Cheers erupt from the audience.

"In one corner, we have Class 3-F, led by our very own Professor Estelle!"
The professor smiles lightly, looking on from her front-row seat.

"In the other, we have Class 3-C, led by the esteemed professor who made this very stadium, Professor Ververs!"
The young-looking lady blushes at the praise from her own seat.

"And now, to explain the rules! Each group will fight until there are no more members of the group left standing. If a student is no longer able to fight, they will be evacuated from the battlefield! There will be no substitutions into battle! Once the classes have entered battle, their numbers are fixed! And without further ado, let us begin the battle!"

On the opposite end of the battlefield, Theodora stares down the group, Orrel in specific.
"May the best fighters win."

Chiyo doesn't look back at her.
"Just trust me."
She inhales.
"Arise, my true form, Cath Palug!"
....
[Now Playing: Theme of Chiyo ~Danger Zone~]
A transformation would normally be grander in the sort of stories Misa read. More sparkles, more thunder and lightning.

But this, this was understated. It was comparable to a snake shedding its skin, except not. It was too quick, too smooth. One moment, Chiyo was there, and the next, in her place was a tall, slender, feminine figure, body with only a few chinks around the joints, and a tail that flicks about despite being made, to Misa's eyes, of solid metal. A white, silvery scarf flowed off her neck, the end fading into the air rather than having a solid border. Her head was almost featureless, vaguely resembling a cat's, with large, yellow pupilless eyes.
"Now. Run!"

The tentacled creature lunges for Chiyo, but Chiyo - or whatever she has become - dodges out of the way, impossibly fast by human standards. Chiyo extends her hand, and a burst of iridiscent lights flashes out, looking almost cartoonish, like two-dimensional effects overlaid on reality, bursting from her hand, disappearing and bursting out of the creature in a flurry of polka dots, geometric designs and other shapes that would look more in line with modern art than reality. The creature unleashes a metallic screech, before smashing into Chiyo, throwing both her and the cat-like humanoid away. The path, however, is clear for Misa to run.
Yui and Aika are suddenly interrupted.

Specifically, by seeing a person being thrown into a wall right in front of them. At closer inspection, they're taller and thinner than any normal human has any right to be, resembling a cat-like robot, large yellow eyes, followed by a tentacled, rock-like monster.
Akihiko shakes his head.
"I'm grabbing Saya, Mori. She's my responsibility. No other objections."
He walks off towards the entrance.
"Now let's go. If we run into anyone else, let's grab them and get out of here."

Todoroki's confident look doesn't remotely fade, though his voice does soften slightly.
""Maybe" my ass. It's you. Not a doubt in my mind."

Rin continues looking Madoka over, but she seems content that Madoka is ready.
"Just...take it a little easy. Or d-don't! It's really not my business if you want to put as much effort into it, or....ah, I'm babbling. Sorry. It's just...my job as an apothecary to worry. You'll be fine, but I can't help but just....yeah."
She awkwardly backs off, trying not to fret too much after Madoka's earlier reaction.

Hisao steps back to the rest of the gathered troops.
  "....you know as well as I do, she barely listens to any of us. If it were that easy.....Gamou would've done it a long time ago. If anyone could have, it was him."
Without further ado, he begins giving orders. Hiroyuki believes it's time to speak up.

"Well, it's good to be fighting alongside one of my old students! Everyone, are you ready for battle? This should be a fine showing!"

Right behind Setsurou are Rin and Todoroki. Rin quickly tends to Madoka's bruises with a light, warming Mahou.
"Okay, stay still. I'll make sure you're patched up, Horiuchi. Excuse me, Tsubouchi...."
There's something else Rin wants to say, but she holds it back for the moment.  Todoroki simply nods at her, having moved to help her but having been beaten there by Setsurou. Unlike Rin, he possessed no skill to heal, and so stands back.

Still, he does try to help her in his own way. He crosses his arms.
"You gave it your all, Madoka. You hit your limit for now. Next time, you'll break through."

Meanwhile, Hisao stares back at Miyako.
"Criticise? I respect her loyalty. And her courage."
He shakes his head.
"I gave my word. I failed Yu...the Empress once. I will not do it again. No matter how much I personally object to her actions. You wouldn't understand. This Curse, my oath....it binds me more than you could know. Perhaps Tsubouchi would."
He pauses.
  "But if you can end this madness and restore her to who she once was, then....."

Akihiko shook his head.
"We can have a look there, but I know where Saya is. When we got teleported here, I heard her sobbing, near the entrance to the school."
