Whether he's just really tired and the injuries are taking their toll or he doesn't want to, Michael isn't meeting anyone's eyes.
Kitty freezes for a moment when Professor Relkav addresses her by name. Professor Sunwake was the only teacher who'd ever remembered her name even part of the time before. Maybe there was some hope that her power was stabilizing all on its own...None of which was really important right now when they needed to get medical attention for Michael.
"Ryuzo, how far away are those healers?"
"It's possible that not all the hallways are clear. Some may have even collapsed from that shaking earlier." Alton says as he traces symbols on Vakkler and Michael(who cringes), slowing their bleeding and making their wounds heal just a little. "It's not much, but at least it'll help."
As the group rounds a corner and can see Michael and Professor Relkav ahead, Kitty sprints ahead.
"Michael! Oh no, it's worse than I was afraid of...Here, let me help," she said, carefully putting his arm over her shoulder and letting him lean his weight on her. She's a lot stronger than she looks like she should be.
"Ryuzo, how far away are those healers?"
He closes his eyes for a second.
"They've just been notified. Theres alot going on, hopefully they'll be here soon." Look at Michaels wounds and Vakklers, and how they're acting.Perception:

There is some kind of commotion coming from down the hall. A devil of some description lunges forward from the right side of an intersection, and then just as suddenly seems to be literally catapulted back into the wall. The gurgled rasping and the audible breaking of most of its bones tells the students and teacher that it has been rendered...dead.
A blood-soaked human figure skids to a halt in the intersection, looking around down every corridor. He looks down at the group and begins to advance as a winged demon comes from behind him and tries to bite his arm off.
The figure yells out in surprise, then grabs the fiend's head and brings it down over his shoulder and straight into his rising knee. The physics of the blow do not seem to add up, as the demon's head explodes like an overripe melon from the impact.
Shoving the still twitching body off of his shoulder, the figure rises and trots over to where the others are circled up around Michael and Professor Relkav. Ryuzo and Jeran would recognize Fei under all of the blood and gore.
"Do you need...." he starts to ask, then stops when he sees the two injured on the ground. He kneels down and touches each one, and his hands light up very briefly with a silver-white fire. It does not harm either of them, but in fact heals at least some of their wounds...
"Does anybody else require healing?" he asks quietly, his calm voice a jarring contrast to the hellish way he looks right now...though he does not appear to have any injuries of his own at the moment...
"Holy cow Fei..." Prestidigitates his Gi clean.
Ephebe races down the corridor to the room the noise was coming from. When she got there she found it was occupied by a large masses of writhing tentacles.
"It looks to me like it's from a different region than hell," she said, forming her two chakram made of white flame and started throwing. Except that the blades basically just bounced off the thing.
"Not good."

Michael groans a bit as he stands on his own, but he doesn't need help moving anymore.
"Thanks." He says softly.
The wounds that Ryuzo can see are recent and don't look like they can from anything from the Lower Planes of existence. Vakkler's missing part of one horn and their is a gash neer Michael's left eye that looks bruised and like it's been burned shut, though the recent heealing makes those details less noticeable.
"Holy cow Fei..." Prestidigitates his Gi clean.
"Thank you. And I apologize for my appearance - I have not had any safe opportunity to find a washroom yet," he replies by way of apology, bowing briefly.
"Holy cow Fei..." Prestidigitates his Gi clean."Thank you. And I apologize for my appearance - I have not had any safe opportunity to find a washroom yet," he replies by way of apology, bowing briefly.
"Well, you looked like this..."
He doesn't change into Fei, but mimics the gore splashed accross his own gi...then lets it fade out.
Vakkler does not allow Fei or Ryuzo to heal him. "I'm find," the kobold mutters. "The oozes and...fiends are worse off. Where did the fiends come from?"
"Those wounds did not appear to be from the fiends invading this place," Fei says, indicating both Michael and Professor Relkav as he looks around for more immediate threats. "That is...most unusual..."
Elbows Fei and gives him the 'not now, later' look.
"Must've been tough oozes sir! Should ask Mrs Sunwake to quit teaching them to use pointed sticks!"
Bluff:
Vakkler glares. "Friendly fire was a problem, yes."
He's definitely being evasive about something.
"Well, that particular battle is over, right? You both are ok, so lets move on. Lets at least get Michael to the infirmary."
His clones re-appear to help Micheal walk...
"You shoulda been bobbin' and weavin' buddy.." he says to Michael.

"That... probably wouldn't help against an ooze."
She suspects that there is something that Michael and Vakkler are trying to hide, but she doesn't make an issue of it at all.
"Thank you, Fei," she said with a grateful smile.
"I'm so glad we finally found you," she said to Michael. "I was worried sick and apparently with good reason. But it's going to be okay now." The last sentence is said more firmly, with a great deal of determination behind it.
Michael looks up at Kitty, a strange look on his face. Kitty can see that his left has only traces of blue in it now.
"How's Saffire?"

"How's Saffire?"
Saffire let out a small mournful meep from Kitty's shoulder.
"Not a big fan of all the running. I'll have to put some band-aids on all the claw marks from where he was hanging on later. But otherwise okay," she said, smiling."Lucky for both him and I that I've been spending so much time perfecting my running away skills." ^.^
"You really should try and get him flying soon." Michael replies. "Then he could go with you on runs without you needing a shoulder pad."
"You really should try and get him flying soon." Michael replies. "Then he could go with you on runs without you needing a shoulder pad."
Kitty's smile became more relaxed. Michael was sounding more like himself now.
"He keeps trying, but I don't think his wings are strong enough yet...or maybe it's because he keeps eating too much and making himself so heavy he can't get off the ground."
"Too bad the pepper didn't make him sneeze." Michael says just as the healers arrive. The Head Nurse seems to take pleasure in healling Vakkler against his will.
Kitty waits semi-patiently for the healers to be done healing Michael before hugging him tightly.
"I've been wanting to do that since we found you, but I was afriad of making your wounds worse," she admitted sheepishly.
"Oh... now I need broken ribs healed." Michael jokes as he hesitantly hugs her back. "So what's this I hear about demons?"

"I guess the summoner's club finally went too far because the school has been overrun by demons and devils. The teachers and the more combat oriented students have been working to eliminate them as fast as possible. There's been some casualties. It's all going to be a mess to sort through later. I don't know if the gate is still open or not. I hope not."
The healers haven't yet got the chance to mend Vakkler's arm when the kobold is up and running. "New orders," he mutters, "gotta change them..."
He finds a tiny slurk outside. "Ah, Slarrow. We seem to have some fiends about. I want you to--"
Kalesril unleashes his own strikes at the demoness. She cant take the punishing blows and buckles to nothing. Kalesril turns on the surrounding demons. He seems to give off a monsterous aura.
"Be gone."
The demons disappear from the hall, returning to their home plane. The aura disappears and he looks around.
"Well glad I still got that."
He lets his senses roam, two...no three left. That third one kept dodging, every time he thought he had it the thing escaped. No doubt it was the strongest, worst yet it was smart.

A robed student was moving carefully thru the halls trying to avoid the fiends and make it to a shelter. Moving quickly a door suddenly opens and a hand grabs the young man pulling him in. To his surprise it appears to be another student. He whispers harshly to him.
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack. Its not bad enough the place is crawling with fiends but you grab me out of nowhere."
The other student just smiles, his vice like grip bearly letting the young man move.
"Oh I am sure your going to be wishing you did have a heart attack."
His smile is wide, too wide as no human face could fit it not to mention the rows of razor sharp teeth. The dread came quick to the young man but not as quick as the bite.
CRUNCH...CRACK....CRUNCH....CRUNCH
A short time later the robed student that had been pulled in walked out again sucking his teeth.
"Well its so much better to have the form of someone who already belongs here, and their memories too. Don't you agree David?"
A ghostly copy of David floats thru the door. A look of pain and sadness on his face.
"Well do stay close and out of sight would you. We would feel so awful if we scared anyone."
He gives a deep rumbling laugh that did not belong to the body it came from. David made his way to the shelter, not a fiend coming near him.
...not a fiend, but something else. Vakkler Relkav is on his way, securing shelters and killing any fiends that yet linger. He notices the student, and runs up. "Are you mad?" he snaps. "Wandering in these hallways alone? We're in the middle of an apocalypse, you know."

David puts up his hands and nearly screams.
"Please dont kill me, my soul is no good I dont even go to church."
Before Vakkler can even react he side steps and makes a break for the shelter yelling.
"Help me a little demon is after me its pretending to be normal. I think I saw thru its illusion by mistake. Its missing a horn but its a demon I swear it."

Vakkler rolls his eyes. "Moron."
He follows the disguised devil, keeping an eye out for fiends or gullible students determined to 'protect' David. "You'd think that at this place, of all schools, I wouldn't have to worry about panicky xenophobes.

"Well aren't you an ugly one." Asch says when they find the balor cornering a group of students. Barely being held off by a shield of force. "Amada get them to safety me and Enre can handle ugly here. Don't worry I'll be fine." He says with a wink and a kiss.

"Less talking, more smiting!" she says through gritted teeth as she struggles to hold the forcefield over the others. She rarely had to hold it in place for so long.
Enre nods "Do not worry worse comes to worst the fiend lives longer than 30 seconds." He than growls and says in celestial to the Balor
"Fantastic..." he says when he notices how little damage it takes...
"Ok...good ol' standby time..."

Amada nods her features tight with worry but trusting in Asch she holds the beginings of a teleportation spell.
"Some people are so demanding." Asch says with a shake of his head as he loads a shell into his Caster. "Ready?" Asch says as he casts a spell on himself increasing his speed and strength.

"We... we should get to a safe spot then. I wouldn't be much help against things like that now. Do you know where the nearest one is?"

"Not really," she admitted. "I was so busy trying to find you I didn't really pay attention to where the shelters were. Maybe Alton knows?"
