The Mech Lord

"What are you doing?" Biggie looked at Runeko in confusion, "And, what happened to you?"

Spike and Amelia, who were restrained above, couldn't help but roll their eyes at him. Was this guy being serious? He still didn't know what was going around?

This had to be a joke!!

"Whoosh!"

Runeko suddenly moved, and the grey matter rose along with her heading straight towards Biggie.

"W-Wait..what are you doing..you will get hurt.." Biggie tried to stop Runeko, but it was too late.

"Boom!"

The two crashed, and even though Biggie didn't attack, he did defend himself.

He had thought that Runeko would end up getting hurt, but to his surprise, he found himself flying across the room. His huge figure broke through the wall, and crashed on the floor outside.

The commotion drew people's attention, and when they saw the hole in the wall, and a terrifying figure like Biggie who had just gotten up, it immediately sent the students in panic.

They hurriedly ran away from the place, and most of them had probably thought of Biggie as the bad guy since Runeko had yet to come out of the room.

"You are not Runeko.." Biggie finally seemed to get it in his own way. "Our Neko would never do something like this.."

The moment he used her nickname to call her out, Runeko's figure froze for a second and her face twitched.

"Aahh!!" She suddenly clutched her head while glaring at Biggie hatefully.

"Thud!"

Spike and Amelia who were pasted up onto the ceiling came crashing down as the grey matter restraining them loosened.

"Run!!" Spike screamed as he grabbed onto Amelia. Even though she was in pain, Amelia dashed towards the door.

But, the Zest quickly regained control over Runeko, and shot a whip out of its murky body.

"Aahh!!'' Amelia groaned as she felt a tearing pain on her back. Her body flew through the air and crashed onto the railing, losing consciousness.

Another whip soon came towards them to get a hold of them.

"No, you don't.."

Spike's voice rang out as a cyan colored energy shot out of his body, forming a shield in front of him and Amelia.

The whip clashed with the shield, but was forced back.

"What are you waiting for?!! She is not our Runeko!! Smash some sense into her!!" Spike roared at Biggie, and the guy immediately reacted.

"Yaahhh!!!" Biggie let out a monstrous roar and bolted towards Runeko like a bulldozer planning to smash her into a pulp. Even Spike was taken back in horror,

Wasn't this guy going to kill her like that?

He had indeed asked him to smash her, but it wasn't in actual sense. He just wanted Biggie to beat her into a state where she couldn't even move her arms.

"Bang!"

As Spike was worried, the clash occurred.

Biggie's fist rammed into Runeko at full force, and Spike's eyes widened as he saw a huge gaping hole open up in her body.

'Sh*t!! He killed her!!' Spike cursed with wide eyes.

But, he was too quick to judge.

"Huh?" Biggie frowned as he looked at his hand, which had gone through Runeko's abdomen. He noticed that her wounds were rapidly healing. And, before he could pull his hand out, it got stuck in there.

He immediately put some extra force to pull his hand out, but Runeko took advantage of the situation. Her claws like hands dug into Biggie's arms and blood immediately spurted out of them.

Biggie on the other hand once again tore apart a hole in Runeko's abdomen as the two parted.

Both of them were now in a bloody state.

"What in hell is she?" Spike immediately came towards Biggie. There was a heavy frown on his face as he looked at Runeko.

He hadn't seen anything like her until now. Just what was this..

'Hmmn?" Suddenly, a scene flashed through Spike's mind. He remembered the time when he had secretly hidden inside Leo's pocket and gone into the Dean's office. That time, he had heard them talking about some creature called Zest, and then there was some stuff they discussed about the creature which starkly was similar to the characteristics displayed by this creature here.

"Don't tell me.." A frown appeared on Spike's face, 'Is this why Leo acted like that? And, Harry was in on it as well..'

Biggie was ready for some action again. It seemed that the wound hadn't even budged him a bit.

But, Spike immediately stopped him, "Stop, don't engage. Let's stall for time. I am sure someone will arrive with this much of a commotion.."

"No, she has done something to our Runeko. She needs to tell us where she is.." Biggie refused, and this made Spike's face ugly as well.

He suddenly realized something. Could Runeko be saved in this situation?

And, if the Instructors arrived, what would they do to her? Would they even try to save her or just kill her on the spot? He couldn't answer and stand in silence as Biggie did what thought was right.

The huge guy stepped up towards Runeko with a serious look on his face, "I will make you pay for hurting my friend."

The muscles on his body suddenly bulged and his clothes were immediately torn apart revealing his muscles. Obviously, his posing trunks were still holding on.

A cyan colored Arora energy began to revolve around his body as he slowly clenched his fist. Vein bulged on his arm, and the next instant, he took a heavy step ahead and punched.

"Whoosh!"

His fist moved with an explosive noise, and a column of wind followed behind it.

"Bang!"

Spike's eyes widened as he saw Biggie open up an even bigger hole in the wall while sending Runeko flying through the Dorms.

Her figure crashed and broke through multiple walls before crashing into the forest behind the Dorms.

Biggie chased after her while Spike looked at Amelia with a frown. He couldn't possibly leave her all alone like this. But, he had to go after Biggie and Amelia as well.

"Hmmn?" He suddenly caught a figure from the corner of his eyes, it was a girl hiding in the corner of the hallway.

"Hey you!"

The girl's shoulder jumped and she pretended not to have heard him.

"Don't pretend like you didn't hear me.." Spike appeared in front of her, and the girl's face immediately turned pale.

She had seen this little guy and the giant man entering Runeko's room before the commotion began. She had hidden herself in fear, and hence hadn't seen the fight. But, since they were strangers to her, she thought them to be the bad guys.

After all, there was no way that Runeko could do anything to them. That poor girl, who knew what they had done to her…

"I said look at me!!" Spike shouted in anger.

"P-Please don't kill me!! I will do as you say!!" The girl immediately begged him with her eyes tearing up.

Spike gave her an odd look, but didn't dwell on the topic. He didn't have the time and interest to clear up her confusion, "That's enough of crying, I want you to take that girl out and get her some treatment."

He pointed towards Amelia and that girl hurriedly nodded.

"Good! Don't fail me or else.." Since she was so scared, he didn't mind scaring her a bit more to get the job done.

"I won't!" the girl hurriedly replied with a pale face.

With that, Spike rushed into the hole from which both Biggie and Runeko had passed.

The girl didn't linger at the place any longer. She picked Amelia up, and hurriedly ran away from there.

When the place fell in silence, a figure appeared there.

It was Harry.

"These guys really caused a commotion," He muttered with a frown on his face. He had no idea how they got here. If it was just a coincidence, then they sure had bad luck.

He then looked towards the hole in the wall with a frown on his face, 'Why in hell is the Librarian not here..'

There was worry on his face as he took a step ahead, and chased after them.

As soon as he disappeared, two more figures appeared.

It was Jack and beside him was Dean Valen.

"Why did you stop me? We should kill that thing as quickly as possible.." Jack frowned while looking at Valen.

They had already arrived here by the time Biggie was kicked out of the room.

Jack was even about to move, and put an end to this farce by eliminating that thing. But, Valen had stopped him for some reason.

"Didn't you notice it? That girl is still alive.."

"Impossible!" Jack denied, "How could she be alive when that thing had totally taken control over her. After all, it's not a normal parasite like creature."

"That girl reacted to her friend's word, there is a chance that she is still hanging in there.."

"Even if that is true, is there any way for us to save her? Unless she herself can force that thing out, there is no saving her.."

"That's why I am saying, let's watch it for a while. Since, it it's already in our sight, it can't get away this time..."
