Twist of Fate A rogue operative has been spotted inside of the school, his appearance is not certain due to an abillity to shift shape into what he wishes. A rumor has been floating around recently that he may be posing as one of the faculty, though were are unsure of what gender he has taken up, so it will be your best bet to be extremely attentive to your surroundings. It is also believed that an item in his posession is giving this shape-shifting power, and also that he is armed and dangerous. Your mission is to seek out this operative with fellow team-mates, or going solo, the first one to bring back the operative, either alive or dead will be granted freedom of class for the day, and also will get a praise of the teacher setting this mission in motion. Also, there is a problem due to the time constraints that are placed on this, you will only have a limited amount of time to figure out just who the operative is, and bring him down to his knees, or finishing it via K.O.A. It is CRUCIAL that you do this swiftly, for the longer he is roaming the school, the more he will find about the inner workings of the Academy, the sooner he is stopped, the better. Finally, a student who was sent to the infirmary said that this operative attempted to gain the trust of him, and turn him over to his side. It is not certain from what affiliation he takes, or what he will tell you. That is all, proceed with this mission with caution. Team 1 ___________ ___________
Team 2 ___________ ___________
Team 3 __________ Note: Any of these can be taken by a single person.

team 3
“Intruder, huh? Bah, waste of my time… though…”
Kaze muttered to himself as he pondered the idea of escaping the asinine idea of going to class while he tapped the butt of his weapon against his chin softly, his head leaned back as he let out a small sigh and thus simply nodded his head, he would wait for others to begin merely to get speculation and yet he would work alone as working with others was simply undesirable, and thus simply did he find himself standing only for moments before simply shifting his weapon to his side, after hearing the rumors did he finally decided the best place to start and simply began to march down the hall, heel to toe, a constant clack from his boots as he made his way.
~Infirmary, someone attacked… most likely something on this assailant would he hold in the gray matter, merely some mining to be done.~
He though to himself quickly as he snapped his finger before his face as he passed the portal (door for you unreferenced >.>) and entered slowly, passing forward to a small desk while placing his right hand down softly.
“I hear you have an interesting storyteller here, care if mine his grey matter?”
Kaze asked the nurse with a rather snobbish tone.

Team 1 Postion: N/A Team 2 Positon: N/A Team 3 Positon: Infirmary Rogue Position: Unknown Team 3 The nurse stuttered slightly as she looked to the boy whom seemed to have come from no where, this was a weird school, and considering she was new these sort of things still bothered her deeply. It wasnt easy for a human who just found out she could use magic, let alone was surrounded by hundred of thousands of them and just didnt know it the whole time. Though, in attempt to avoid conflict she just nodded slightly. A Teacher had already been in there before, and still was, though watching over the student rather then questioning him, ensuring that he was not attacked by said Rogue again. At least, if he was he wouldnt be harmed. "He..hes in room 303." She pointed off down the hall where the ICU's were. The boy was concious, but they had to keep track of him due to the fact there was an odd mark on his back, which seemed to be engraved deep beneath his flesh, and had been glowing brightly when they picked him up, as if something had happened. The teacher which sat in that room was none other then Christian.. he had been the one who had discovered the boy on his daily walk around the school to check on various.. influences to the said Academy.

A simple nod was all he gave in response to the nurse while he turned on his right heel, left leg fully extending while both arms crossed behind his back, the left hand gripping the right wrist while in the right hand did his grip stay ever so firm on the sheath of his katana while the thumb knuckle was positioned at the mouth of the sheath, of course however he didn’t just stand there for long as he began his stride, the 5 tails of his coat flapping softly as he pondered her… stuttered, was she scared of him? Well, the though was quite amusing and only brought a rather pleased smile to his face as he heard what she said in his mind, rewinding the words constantly with a smile on his face, a rather cold smile if you will while the number of the room also played its little recording in his head as well while eyes danced from number to number, room to room.
“Just what I can find within his grey matter, useful I hope… perhaps disappointing? Does it really matter? I’m sure either way I will run into this intruder… and my oh my will it be interesting.”
He said to himself as once again did he come to a halt while his gaze was set to the left, room 304 to his left while instinctively he shifted his gaze to the right, room 303 before him… yet now after thinking about it something nagged at his mind… just what was this intruder doing here anyways? What interest would such a person have with a simple school full of untrained mages? It was rather mind boggling really and yet this place held quite a bit of secrets, which was most likely for sure as was any place in the world, and yet he simply shrugged it off as his left hand twisted the handle on the door, his body stepping through slowly as white slicked back hair tussled softly.
“Oh? Interesting, he has a guard too? Well, this is indeed interesting.”
He said to himself with only a slight chuckle, his tone still that which he spoke to the receptionist/nurse while he diverted his attention from the student to the teacher.
“So, care to share with my why you sit watch over this boy? Clearly if a teacher is here either you care about him…? Am I mistaken?”
He questioned.

Team 1 Postion: N/A Team 2 Positon: N/A Team 3 Positon: Infirmary - Room 303 Rogue Position: Unknown - On the Move Team 3 It had been a while since anyone had come to check in on the boy, his friends had long had their little conversations whilst he slept, talking of possible outcomes to it all, and what could have possibly happened to him. None of them knew about the mark, but he did.. he had seen it with his own eyes, and some how, it made him sick with the vivid realization that it was OH so familiar. Though.. he couldnt quite put a finger on what it was exactly, ironic how things worked sometimes in the world of magic and mayhem eh? Thats when he heard another voice, causing his head to tilt up from where it had rested in relaxation. No expression on his face, but a part of lips offered to allow speech. "Hmm. Do I care about him? No more then any other teacher would.. I am here for another reason.. though before I speak any further, whom might you be? His friends have been and gone.. meaning your either one of the people whom are to help with this case, or your an annoyance to both me and the boy him self. Which is it? The first or the latter?" Brow rose this time, showing nor more emotion other then the to the point matter of his words, he had no interest in baby sitting more then what he had to already, and personally, he wasnt in the mood to have to explain a harmed student under his watch, so their was no point in talking now and fighting later. Rogue Operative "Hmm. Its only a matter of time now, though it is curious.. I wonder how his reaction is going to be.. none the less it should be more then interesting to hear about when alot of students wind up dead.. so much fun!"He gave of a slight laugh as he jumped from the crumbling foundation of one of the many maze like walls, landing down flat on the edge of another and looking on into the amassing abyss this darkness was causing, wondering why such a place would be below a school, it made it easier to hide, but so much effort in moving around, it was such an ANNOYANCE!

“Does it matter why I am here? Perhaps what is important is what put him here? That sounds like a more reasonable question, no?”
He continued as he clearly answered the question with his own wording… of course the snob tone was always present as he simply turned his head to the student, he seemed… well, what could one say about the appearance of one who had just been attacked? Well, Kaze of course could picture it clearly as he could still remember those looks as he pulled the trigger so many years ago, but that only gave him a slight comfort of his own doings yet he couldn’t quite place this incident as he turned back to the teacher.
“After all, he doesn’t look like he has suffered anything severe, then again my skills of observation on first glace are quite minimal if at all worth mention. So, allow me what you store within your mind to assist me in this task of hide and seek.”
He continued calmly as he wasn’t quite so sure how the teacher would react to his wording, after all… he wasn’t really a people person and courteous dialog was rather out of his reach… and most likely would it always be and thus out of sheer respect for the uppers as he would have called them he calmed his harsher tongue, though it would only be so long before the uppers were equals in which case he would speak freely.

Team 1 Postion: N/A Team 2 Positon: N/A Team 3 Positon: Infirmary - Room 303 Rogue Position: Unknown - Weird Altar Team 3 The boy continued to talk, as if it was fine for him to be here, then again. He had to admit. For someone who had acted so sporadically, the Rogue would have already attacked both himself as the student once more. He took a chance and simply rose from his seat, walking over to where the boy was laying in the hospital bed. Pressing a hand gently to his shoulder and nodding for him to roll to the side. Due to the gown his back was already visible. "Regarding the one whom did this, we know only that he is a shape shifter, and he has produced this on the boys body, we do not yet know what it is, but we know that there is something powerful within it." He left out the fact that he reconigzed what it was, and was slowly beginning to pull together his old thoughts to put a proper name to it. He was remembering the old rituals that passed throughout the hands of Shadow Demons, and how he had been iniated.. it reminded him direly of the black marks that once lined his back before he met the Headmaster of Arcane. Rogue Operative "So its true.. they said if one went down far enough, there were special things down here. The old Altar of the Mages Past.. the perfect place to complete the ritual.. now all I need is the boy, and I can finally summon 'him', its only a matter of time.."Behind the veil of a black mask, those red eyes were focused directly on the stone object infront of him. A slab of what looked to be like weathered marble was positioned in the center, with a pillar to the side of it with the place for the dagger he held in his posession. Gold trim lined the marble with engravings of creatures, and a large mythical beast at the center of it all.

He looked on, eyes still slits as he looked toward the student when he rolled over, a mark etched into flesh… no, it was almost like it was below the skin, almost as if a tag if you will… like one would see in movies, a tracker? Yes, that is what it mostly reminded him of… somewhat like mad max, aside from the fact it wasn’t a collar, no… this was inside him… but then again he couldn’t simply say it was a sort of tracking mark as he himself had no knowledge of such things and thus simply put on a slim grin, cold and rather pleasant even at the sight of such a dark and ominous mark. Thus slowly did he find himself pointing the end of his sheath at it as opposed to his finger as he rather disliked using his left hand for such acts, the tip pointed toward the mark as his brow rose slightly at the very sight of it.
“What pray tells is this foreboding feeling that is instilled upon me by the sight of this mark?”
He continued as he brought his right hand down, the wrist however twisting as he grasped the sheath with his left hand while he looked toward the teacher, still quite uncertain of the mark much less its meaning, though he wasn’t quite sure the teacher knew at least a little… perhaps what sort of magic it belonged to at least? Then again it was merely speculation as he was sure that if nothing else he could drop into the head masters office after this… that is if the teacher before him had not a lick of info, but thus he changed his pace to that of the idea of the intruder being a shape shifter.
“Though please my mind with such as also to the gain of shape shifting being that of this malevolent beings trait.”
He stated as he himself pondered… if the student was attacked did he really see the assailant? Perhaps the teacher saw the attacker? Perhaps in mid morph, either way… anything on this could be quite helpful as upon knowing this did he begin to ponder about the teacher, though he didn’t show it upon his face aside from his cold yet pleasant grin that he was no suspicious of this man… after all, he remained here for so long… but then again he didn’t attack the boy again, perhaps he was waiting? Though it didn’t seem logical to hide in a place where people would seek the boy and thus the reason he didn’t strait forward question the teacher.

Team 2
Eh.. how troublesome. Damn rogues. It was said that Team 3 was already on the move, looking out for this guy, but..
"..Time to move.."
Already, he was walking hurriedly. Hopefully, his jian would be enough to take care of this man, but, just in case, he slipped out a tarot card at the ready, his right hand constantly on the hilt of his jian. Where to start? The hospital is where Team 3 had begun.. might as well.
Stopping by to nod his head to one of the doctors passing by, he nodded to his Jian.
"'Scuse me, I'm here for the apparent breach in Arcane Academy. Team 3 has already been here I believe. Care to direct me to where the rogue may be?.."
He was annoyed, a little. This time could've been spent studying new spells.. ah well. Time to try out a new one anyways. Who to summon, though, when the time arrived?

Team 1 Postion: N/A Team 2 Positon: Infirmary Team 3 Positon: Infirmary - Room 303 Rogue Position: Unknown - Weird Altar Team 3 "You can feel it as well?... hmm. Well, I am not entirely sure, the marks are quite familiar. It reminds me mostly of the Arch-Magi. Previous Masters of their craft used to use these runes as means of locking away something terrible. " He had had a first hand experience with that ritual.. that he remembered perfectly, a berserk fit had wound him up imprisioned. No matter for that now however. Instead he looked back over at the boy, the marks however, were engraved differently, his own had been carved into the flesh and left scars. There was seriously something wrong with these, it was as if black ink was just below his flesh. "I fear however something else is in the process Team 2 "Hmm? Ah. Yes. The boys called in to aid the investigation correct? Good. He is in room 303, I believe a teacher is there as well."The doctor nodded his head back, and headed back off to his next patient so that he could continue his daily rounds. He would have shown the male himself, but he had work to accomplish as well after all. Rogue Operative "Come boy... come to me!"There was now an odd whisper bearing down on the young boy in the infirmary, taunting him as he rested, and trying to burn its way into his mind. That mark would have begun to give off a light glow once more, surging pain throughout the boys body and causing the same effect as before.. though, this time, his bones would have began to slowly grow, nothing yet of enough for them to notice back at the Infirmary, but enough to conceal the beginnings of what was to come.

“Of course, one would not leave there mark if it had no porpoise. Yet now I begin to question…”
Kaze said as he lowered his head slightly while placing his chin between his thumb and index finger of his right hand while eyes closed, a slow sigh slipping from his mouth, his mind of course had trailed off to other things as he simply stood in silence while in his mind he thought about how the attack could have proceeded. The mind creating an image of it as it went through the many possibilities and yet nothing made sense, clearly to only real truth was that the boy was outmatched… and clearly he got that mark… yet it still was amusing to think that he had something to powerful etched under his skin while in his mind he played it through, the idea spinning on his brain as he could see the boy laid out, a black figure crawling over him and placing the rune which was the moment each eye opened while he snapped his right fingers.
“Where did the attack take place?”
He said in his usual tone while he looked toward the teacher, his brow cocked as at this point there was nothing more for Kaze to find here, more to say he would go to the place of the attack and look for evidence there that could tie into the location of said intruder, and perhaps even his new face… which could make things even easier if he had yet to change it once more.
“I would ask you direct my there as I want to question the people and perhaps seek for something if anything… after all, if I am not mistaken, a shape shifter can only change the appearance of what is attached to his body, perhaps he might have dropped something as well.”
He went on as he found himself somewhat excited at the fact that he might actually find something relevant that could lead him to this one… and of course he had already planned for such a time as his left hand gripped the sheath to the point where his hand was shaking.

What Have I Walked Myself Into?..
Nodding wistfully, and mouthing the words, 'thanks', he began moving onward, in a brisk walk over to room 303. On his way, he got out a blank tarot card, and his ritual dagger in his right hand, ready to defend himself, ready to summon. Not too long a walk, he opened the door quietly, and leaned over to look inside, seeing the young boy, a teacher, and another person who he deemed was probably Team 3.
"Team 2, checking in. Is that you, Team 3?"
He just wanted to get this over. If Team 3 was still interrogating the student, but had a clue as to where the hell this rogue was, he wanted to either know whether or not to block in the door, or be told to head off to where ever the rogue operative may be, and save the both of them some trouble.
.. Of course, there was always the possibility that the Rogue was inside here.. but, logic commanded against it. Just to be sure, though, he readed his dagger by his wrist, ready to summon Dai. Kai may burn down the infirmary, and that would be rather terrible, and Sai was completely defensive..

Team 1 Postion: N/A Team 2 Positon: Infirmary - Room 303 Team 3 Positon: Infirmary - Room 303 Rogue Position: Unknown - Weird Altar Team 3 and Team 2 "We are not one-hundred percent certain on just where he was attacked, but we do know that he was found wandering down the halls near the headmasters office, quite a few things have been happening near there as of late, the problem is, we are not able to find whom exactly has been doing them. So you see our issue, the faculty have not yet decided if this is even a big issue due to the fact the boy is not harmed other then that mark appearing we havent even managed to find a bruise. Because of this they think its all alright and that they should continue to pursue the one responsible for the death of a Tracer infront of the Headmasters office. Even still. It is quite ironic that this would happen at this time.. I believe something may be tied to it." He shrugged his shoulders slightly and looked down at the boy once more. Thats when he noticed that another had entered the room, Team Two then? Ah. Finally. All that seemed to be left was the First Team, late it seemed. No matter. He would deal with these things in turn, as he had not intentions of sitting around while these students and otherwise chose to play around in the hallways.. for all he knew, it could have been another student whom caused this.. but it was quite the issue. "Yes. This is Team Three. Come in come in, you might as well hear what I am telling him, as its not like we have too much to go on." With that he offered a wave of his hand for him to follow inwards due to the invitation. Though, it was regarding these few troubles which seemed to appear from no where and then just as quick disappear that got so deeply to him. Rogue Operative " Come.. come to me.. feed the hunger... feed the beast.. feel the strength from the essence of his survivall.. COME!"Once more, he was enticing the boy to come, and of course, the feelings were growing as that mark began to glow a deeper color, slowly turning redbeneath his flesh and forcing his body to begin to turn itself into something completely different.

So, This Is Him?
"Alright.."
He walked in, but, grabbed for his pocket, pulling out a Ziploc bag. Opening it up, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. He proffered four out, offering to all of those inside.
"Hungry? It's chocolate chip. Got it fresh from the mess hall. Still hot too. Also, I'm hungry, and rushed here because of the mission."
Getting out a tissue from the nearby tissue box, he put the four cookies on the small table at the side of the room, and picked out a cookie from the Ziploc bag for himself, biting into it, and chewing on it ravenously, before swallowing. He closed his eyes to savor the taste a little.. but opened up his left eye.
"Okay.. so what's the deal?"
Hakfu's eye swiveled around the room, eyeing the boy. He eyed him particularly more then he probably should have.. but, was deep in thought about the situation at hand. Still no sign of the rogue?

ooc: Sorry it took so long... work and city of hero's has been draining my time.
ic:
“A random attack, a strange mark, and of course no leads.”
Kaze pointed out in a rather bland tone as he crossed each arm over his chest, eyes closed as head angled down, of course hearing that many things had been happening near the headmasters office made the man in blue wonder, was there anything special about the office? Or perhaps the headmaster himself, after all… it was said that he was the youngest ever to attain such a title… perhaps he made a pact with a demon and now time to collect? Logical… possible, probable… hardly, though Kaze once again looked up, eyes toward the boy as he pondered and then looked back to the teacher.
“Dousing, did you attempt to use dousing to track the source of the mark back to the one whom imparted it upon him?”
He questioned the teacher as he rather completely ignored team 2 after making his first comment… of course he would however, he was a loner… as always he simply found this person would be in his way, though the idea of dousing would make it somewhat more simple to trace the infiltrator as the mark would directly be tied to he/she, and thus would there be no need to obtain an object of said person… and all they would need was a blueprint of map of the school to trace.
