Acacio laughed, "That's true, but somebody has to watch your back if something goes wrong. And besides if my mother found out that I ditched a girl to save myself, then she would ground me for the rest of my life.", he joked.
"This way at least Yuri is safe with Kazuki and I can tell the cops what happened in the school. Later Kazuki will call me and we'll meet up.", Acacio calmly stated.

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing- Wernher von Braun Until proven otherwise, Everything is RelevantThe two policemen stopped a meter or two away from the two stopped kids, exchanging glances of mutual uncertainty. "Did you-" One began, before his partner shushed him.
The second one started again, touching his cap in a nervous gesture. "Can you, uh, tell us what happened here?" His eyes kept flicking to their Phantasms, though he didn't know they were called that. "And... Where's the rest of the school?"
The other four officers had noticed the standoff and were now walking over to listen in.
"My... My friends were attacked by a couple of boys and their Phantasms," Hanami explained, keeping her head respectfully bowed. "I wasn't there to see the whole thing, but the entire school was kind of in chaos by that point anyway. We decided it would be best to leave before someone else went mad." Her voice had a sincere tone to it, and with her wide violet eyes and quiet demeanour, Hanami looked for all the world like an innocent victim, lost at sea in the pandemonium surrounding her.
Not that she was anything else, of course.
Anyway here's Blackwall"We got them sent to us early this morning," William said, walking towards the police officer. "For purposes unknown, but they seem to be accepting our orders with little questions."
He took a brief glance to the ghost on his side.
"Except mine."
Support Taleworlds!Alex watched the others from the distance. She was used to evading the police by now, so getting away didn't pose her too much trouble.
"Hey, um, Alex... Did you really have to be so harsh on that kid?" Sizzler asked. "I mean, he's an idiot and all, but he's still just a kid..."
"...What, and I'm not?" Alex let out the briefest, flattest chuckle imaginable. "No, I guess not. Besides, some people need a good kick in the teeth before they start to see how stupid they are."
"I... Suppose..." Sizzler mumbled. "Um... Hey, uh, Alex?"
"Yeah?" The androgynous girl wasn't paying too much attention as she slipped her trenchcoat back on.
"Um... So, um, uh... When did you, uh..." The Phantasm blushed bright red. "...Lose your, uh, you-know-what."
"...Huh?" Alex's normally emotionless face gave the slightest hint of confusion.
"Your... Um... You know..." The little cyborg pointed one shaking armoured arm at Alex's crotch. "You, uh, d-don't have one, see... And, uh, guys usually-"
"I'm a girl."
"Oh." Sizzler rubber her arm awkwardly. "Oh, um, I th-thought-"
"-I was a guy?" Her partner replied nonchalantly whilst smoothing down her coat. "That's kind of what I'm aiming for."
"Um... Why?"
"Can't tell you. Or to be more precise..." Alex turned away from Sizzler. "I won't."
"As for those who destroyed the school, it was either the general population of delinquents or a kid named Ryan. That's the guy that tried to kill us, apparently because he think he is superior or something.", Acacio calmly said.
Thankfully the cops weren't freaking out to the situation mainly because they had no idea what was happening.
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing- Wernher von Braun Until proven otherwise, Everything is RelevantAcacio shifted nervously as each of them tried to explain to the cops the reason why they came running out of a destroyed school with phantasms. He was worried that one of them (even him) might say something that the police might take the wrong way.
He leaned toward Donovan and whispered to him, "Hey when you said that Yuri's father was the chief of police, was that true?"
He had heard some rumors about the guy and most of them weren't good, which made him wonder how such a kind person like Yuri would have such a guy for a for a father.
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing- Wernher von Braun Until proven otherwise, Everything is Relevant"Miss Yuri's here?" the officer asked, surprised. "Can't imagine why she'd run away though. Anyways..." He scratched the back of his head. "I'm afraid we'll have to take you in for questioning. Not that I think you guys might have done it, but we have to follow procedure, right?" The officer smiled winningly, but a small bit of sweat was beading on his brow. He was frightened, no doubt, of these children.
The officer who'd remained behind in the car, meanwhile, was completely ignorant of the Phantasm's approach, the radio blaring loudly some country station.
Jerret Donavan entered the school, looking around at the badly damaged halls. He tried to ignore what might have been a bloodstain and called out. "Hello? Anyone here? This is the police, and, uh..." He groaned and rubbed his face into his palms. This isn't normal, he thought glumly, I'm not trained to clean out warzones... "Please! Anyone there!"

One student walked out, a dark smirk on his face, "Ryan's group is pretty big, but maybe killing a policeman would get my point total up there."
A huge black armored giant beetle went rushing at Jerret, only for another Phantasm to rush into the fray and smash it aside.
The new one was...rather Freudian. It looked tall and somewhat bulky and conical, a toothy maw at the center and multiple eyes around it.
What it used to smash the enemy aside was apparently a long tentacle.
One of Brady's friends, Nathan, walked over and just gave a death glare to the kid whose Mon was the beetle. Both the teen and the beetle fled.
Nathan looked over at his Phantasm and walked over to pat it.
Jerret stared for a moment, he insides turning to water as he watched a giant beetle get turned aside by a tentacled monster. His hands twitched for his pistol, but he quickly came to the conclusion that the only way that would end is badly, and so he took the more intelligent and prudent option.
"JESUS CHRIST!" He turned and ran, pelting for the door in abject terror, gasping as he whacked his toe against some rubble.
I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die...
"Wait what is that", Acacio yelled pointing behind them. he wasn't really suprised when he saw the beetle get thrown aside by the tentacle monster, but he was hoping it would distract the cops from taking them in.
"Hey you gotta go help your partner out. He went inside the school and he might be in trouble.", as he said this he slowly took a few steps back.

The thing looked disgusting and creeped him out, especially with its multiple eyes, so he didn't want to be so close it.
"Why did you attack that kids phantasm? Was he gonna do something or...are you with Ryan?", when he said this he bent his knees to be prepared to move if the kid was one of Ryan's many followers.

It relieved him a little to see that the monster had scared away the cops, so now they weren't gonna be arrested.
Arika however was tense and was glaring at the tentacle monster ready to attack if it made any sudden moves.

Hanami blinked.
"...Wait, are you going or not?" she asked, a slight frown creasing her brow. "Weren't you the one that kept saying we should run?"
Anyway here's Blackwall
