They look confused. Selena was now a pile of dirt and plants. This pile had just spoken to them a few seconds ago what had happened. 

Ace: Well that's an interesting turn of events. I'm guessing you're the person that this group was trying to find. Alexander was it.

He looked at them still have shocked. This man he had never seen before has messy white hair made him look tired. Alexander looks between silf and grey before speaking.

Alexander: Yeah that's my name what are you guys doing here.

Silf: you really are dumb aren't you. Alexander was here for you. Even though you think you're dangerous you still need people you still need us.

Quillo: Teacher do you know these people?

The word teacher still didn't settle with Alexander right but he ignored it.

Alexander: Yeah these people are my friends.

Hue: Alexander! You're coming back with us whether you like it or not.

Alexander: Oh really now.

Gray: Alexander. May I talk to you in private for a while.

Alexander: Sure Grey. Quillo plays nice with the others all right.

Quillo: Fine but after this, I want to train you to need to teach me how to be strong like you

Silf: Don't worry I'll watch out for him.

Alexander walks off with gray.

Hue: Who would have thought that Alex had it would be sticking around with some kid.

As soon as gray knew that him and Alexander we're out of everyone's sight he spoke.

Gray: Alexander I understand how you can take you feel dangerous towards others. But that's far from the truth.

Alexander: What are you getting at Gray?

Gray: I won't dolly, I'll get straight to the point. After you left dusk's corpse was kidnapped.

Alexander: What do you mean?

Gray: I mean exactly as I said. Someone stole dusk's body. And as far as I know from Max they're using him for something. Alexander the truth is that I'm trying to point out to you besides my information about what happened is we need you-you need us. Without us, you might suffer the same fate as the other lost elements. And without you, I fear that everyone in the college will be wiped off along with you.

Alexander: All of you are strong enough to protect yourself, so you don't need another danger like me.  And at the moment I'm not fit to be around anyone.

Gray: Then what about that kid. You're hanging around him if you're so dangerous aren't you putting his life at stake.

Alexander turns his head. He couldn't look at gray anymore. He knew he had a point, but despite that now it's point of being dangerous was more validated than anything. At any moment you can just snap, lose control. Destruction and creation could cause him to do something he could not take back. They could cause his closest friend and his only family to get hurt.

Gray: Alexander.  Your our friend and we want you to trust us. We are the last person that would ever cause you harm.

Alexander: Gray please stop talking. I understand where you're coming from but. Right now it's not that simple.

Before Alexander could continue a gust of wind hit them and ace stood next to them. his face looks serious.

Ace: Gray. Something happened at the college. Max's hurt we have to return now.

Alexander: What do you mean? Is Max hurt?

Gray: What happened how do you know?

Ace: The winds told me he was stabbed and that he was in the Infirmary. His situation looks alright yet the college is defenseless only with the teachers and staff protecting it. Some students have been left behind but they're the ones at risk now. We have to return.

Gray: I understand but.

He turns to Alexander in his eyes plead with him to come with them. Although something was telling Alexander not to he agreed.

Gray: Alright will return but Ace you need your strength will do it a different way.

Gray seems to be taking control of the situation far more than he had when he and Alexander hit first met.

Gray: Alexander you have control of your abilities again right.

Alexander: Ability like the one you insinuating about yes. We can get there fast using it.

Alexander had decided he could trust these people. He had to. Without them, he figured that he be less than nothing. That all he would be is a means to an end for someone else's game. He was his own Pawn in this fate, not someone else. Gray and Ace gathered the others into a group near Alexander.

Alexander: Alright are we ready.

Silf: As can ever be.

Hue: Whoever attacked our schools going to regret it.

Quillo: I'm ready if you are teacher.

Ace: Well we need to make it there fast the school is defenseless while we're gone.

Gray: Alright Alexander whenever you're ready.

Alexander took a deep breath looked at the others and said single phrase.

Alexander: To the college.

Almost instantaneously they arrived at the college right at the bridge where Ryoko was. She stared down at them is some lost their balance and fell to the ground. Alexander could be reading it wrong but it seems as though she was scowling yet laughing at them.

Ryoko: Master well you were gone someone snuck past my guard. They were gone before I could stop them in the damage has already been done.

Alexander raised his hand showing off her excuses. He wasn't angry yet he wasn't pleased either. He placed the hand on her neck as she bent down and spoke to them.

Alexander: It's alright Max is still here right.

Ryoko: As far as I can tell yes. He shouldn't still be on the grounds. Master am I going to be punished for this mistake.

Alexander: Why? As you said there was nothing you can do it was over before you can move it's not your fault. Please watch over us still.

Alexander started walking off towards the college doors. The other seems to follow. Ace kept his eyes on the Dragon until she was out of sight and they were in the college.
