Chapter 24 - Judge's Arrival

 The figures and the UDF units enter the school and head to the meeting room where Fay greets them.

"Hello Judge, welcome to One United High" Fay said. 

"Thank you for having us on such short notice Fay. I trust you have the files of all the students here so we can narrow the search down?" Judge asked.

"Of course, but why not have something to drink after the long journey. " Fay suggested. She looked at Val and gave her a signal. Val brought the Judge a drink.

"Thank you, I think I will." The judge said with an excited tone. He drank the whole glass and then got up.

"Well thank you for the files will be back after we search through the files." The Judge said.

Fay seemed relieved as the judge left the room a loud thud could be heard outside. Zero had run straight into the judge knocking him on his ass again.

"I'm sorry sir, I should have been looking where I'm going." Zero sincerely said.

"It's alright boy, by the way what's your name if i might ask? Judge inquired.

"My name is Zero Dynosian." Zero said.

"Oh that's interesting." The judge said. The judge picked up Zero off the floor with his gravity manipulation. He then waved and walked away. Zero entered the room where the Judge was.

"Did it work Val?" Zero asked. 

Val looked at the glass and had a terrified expression on her face. She gave Zero the cup. He looked in the cup and in the cup it said nice try with a purple substance.

"He knew I tried to kill him." Val said, terrified. 

She started to shake like crazy. Fay grabbed her and reassured her it'll be ok.

"Zero, now that he knows we move to plan B head to the gym and hide with Viltro." Fay said with a worried tone.

"Why? He didn't seem to be in the mood to fight." Zero said. 

"He's going outside to give the purge order." Fay exclaimed. Zero hearing that understood and started to head to the spot where Viltro waited.

"Get the others ready Val." Fay said.

Right, She activates her D-Device and then says 

"All unit commanders, the battle has started already, everyone prepare for plan B. Fay and Val leave the room and head separate ways. Zero reaches Viltro.

"Plan A no good huh, ok come here then we can see everything with the device that sierrna made, its viewing the front of the school." Viltro said.

Judge is seen heading out the school along with the others, Viltro gasps when he sees the other figure. 

"What, is there something wrong?" Zero asked

"That other figure is the Warhammer, I'll take care of him so don't worry, under his breath not like a get a choice." Viltro said. On the screen their watching judge starts to speak.

"He's here, his name is Zero Dynosian. Warhammer find him and bring him to me, John head with the warhammer in case he gets distracted. You two head for the ruins. I have a feeling they plan to head through the bridge, we can't allow that." 

After issuing commands John and Warhammer head into the school, The other two UDF units head towards the ruins. Judge stands at the front of One United high's entrance and says.

"Come out, your hiding skills are lacking." After saying that Oracle appears along with all the teachers. Oracle starts using wind to fight the judge, the other teachers all attack the judge at the same time as Oracle. They all directly hit the Judge.

"You believe you can do anything to me, it's almost amusing you believe that. You're an angel so I ask you, do you believe your faith is stronger than mine?" 

Judge appears from the smoke of all the attacks unscathed, he reaches his hand up and grabs a bunch of small rocks and raises them in the air. He then points at all the teachers. In an instant all the rocks he was manipulating strike all the teachers at once in the head, killing all of them except Oracle. 

"Oh it seems you survived, I'll fix that." Judge said. 

He then lifts up Oracle with his power and keeps him in the air. He then grabs all the rocks again and begins to send them all at Oracle. Over and over Oracle is struck, finally one final blow and Oracle stops struggling, Judge drops him to fall to the ground.

"That bastard." Viltro yells. Viltro clenches his fist and punches the ground, indenting it.

 Zero was shocked at what he just witnessed. They then heard someone approaching. Viltro grabs Zero and signals him to begin running soon.

"Let's check in here, Warhammer." John said. 

John opens the door to reveal Zero and Viltro. Warhammer immediately pushes John out of the way and heads straight for viltro with a fist. Viltro meets the warhammer with his own fist, they clash and the force of the clash breaks all the windows and knocks Zero down.

"Run Zero! Long time no see Warhammer don't figure you let me not fight you and you'll just leave?" 

Viltro jumped back, Warhammer started to head towards him even more relentlessly than before. 

"Figured worth a shot." Viltro Said with a disappointed tone. 

Zero started to run through the halls of the top floor of the school. John gave chase after Zero. As Zero ran through the halls, lockers and doors were being flung at him by John. Zero reached the end of a hall and was slammed out the window by a door. 

Moments before the event. Judge, back at the entrance, started to raise more rocks and aimed them at the top floors of the building and started to send them into the building. As the judge was destroying the top floors, he was hit by a giant boulder. He stopped using the rocks and looked where the boulder was thrown. He was shocked to see all the students in front of him.

"Stop or face the consequence of your actions!" Arden yelled who had thrown the boulder. All the students aimed at the judge with their most powerful attacks ready to strike.

"And what if I don't? What will you and your stupid followers do?" Judge asked.

"Will kill you right now all 11,430. You can't survive all the attacks at once." Melody shouted.

"Care to test your theory, I will kill Zero Dynosian and retrieve the sword you will not stop me i'm Jeremiah the Judge!" The judge shouted. 

As he said that all the students fired all their attacks, streaks of lighting, flames of fire, gusts of winds and waves of water all attacked the judge at once. The students cheered after the attack. Then they realized that it did nothing to judge and they quickly fired all their attacks again. Nothing happened, they attempted a third volley, But they soon realized they couldn't move at all anymore. 

"That's enough of that." 

The Judge said while opening his book. And started to read. 

"Thou shall be forgiven if thy name is not stated in thy passages. Although thou shalt be forgiven thou shall not attack unless attacked. Ok what's your name, the person who threw a boulder at me?" Arden hesitated to say anything.

"His name is Arden im Melody and the one who poisoned you is Val." Melody said. Judge looked at his book with a smile.

"Your name isn't here, goodbye." 

Suddenly the judge lifted his hand and all the students on the left side became blood puddles. The students started to scream and panic as they stayed there frozen under judges' gravity. Judge lifts his hand again but before he lifts it all the way he is interrupted by a window breaking and someone falling out. It's Zero he fell out of the top of the building landing right in front of the judge! John descends next to Zero. Judge starts to come down and releases the students from the gravity. All the students watch in horror as Judge approaches Zero. As Judge approaches Zero when suddenly two figures come flying out of the building, Viltro and Warhammer are still punching each other while falling. They landed between Zero and the judge and were still fighting. Then a figure appeared behind the judge. Judge turned around to an angered Fay.

"Judge, we need to have a talk." Fay was covered in the dark aura from before.

"I see that you have become a traitor as well." Judge said. While having an aura surrounding him as well.

"I'm not here to fight you judge, I want to ask why the Dynosian name is so important?" Fay asked.

"That name belonged to the one who almost killed king Thanatos, King Dynosian. The history has been lost but those who were there remember it well. His son to this day is a pain in the king's ass but the name gives hope to the people more than anything." 

As they talk Zero is brought into the ground by a shadow. Zero reappears behind the school with Vero.

"Vero, thanks for saving me, but I didn't know I could go into your shadows." Zero said.

"Yup it works like that as long as the user is strong enough to be able to do it, anyways enough chit chat. get heading to the temple. I'll meet you there." Vero said.
