*They see multiple portals open up around the campus and Tara A notices something. They look an awful lot like the tears that the Guardian used to move them around.*
*There are 7 tears in total and out of each of them come 2 hunters*
Leader: *comes out of the center tear* Who knew you were hiding such a big secret darlings?
***
Laura: *takes all the hits* Very good.
*An alarm starts sounding in the holodeck*
Laura: Hold on.
Computer: Unidentified spatial distortions detected in the vicinity.
*Tara A immediately activates her twilight powers.*
Tara A: Get everyone inside.
*Valkyrie. Karen looks at her.*
Karen: What does that mean?
Tara B: Got it. *She starts ushering students inside but the hunters begin their killing spree*
*Tara M Comes outside of her room and begins rushing to the commotion*
***
Laura: Not sure.
Computer: Multiple humanoid lifesigns are ceasing. Most likely scenario is hostile intruders.
Laura: ****. Uh stay on the ship you'll be safe here. I need to go suit up. *the holodeck ends the program*
*Tara A tells Tara B to shield the building once everyone's inside, and tells Tara and Laura to do the same with their ships.
Once she's sure everyone's inside, Tara A steps towards the leader of the Hunters.*
Tara A: If you know what's good for you, you'll leave. Now.
Leader: Oh please. We eat energy. You could barely handle me let alone all of us. *waves an arm gesturing to the rest of the hunters* There are easier ways to commit suicide you know. You're going to die and then we're going to destroy those barriers and we're going to kill everything here.
*Tara A can sense that the Rook doesn't seem as enthusiastic as the other hunters to kill*
***
Laura: Sis you can't take them all alone. I'm not letting you kill yourself. *Starts putting on her armor.*
*The parasite curls up again and the roots curl up on her body*
***
Laura: You full of energy?
Tara A: Look, we clone you a new host body, you can bond with that one.
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: Yeah?
*The parasite doesn't seem to be paying attention to her. It rushes to the cave's entrance then stops and stares into the distance.*
***
Laura: Alright follow me then. *Heads to the holodeck*
*Tara A watches it for a moment, before carefully approaching.
Valkyrie. Karen quickly changes into a vest and shorts wrapping some boxing tape around her hands and feet.*
Karen: So... What's first?
Parasite: *Hits her head a fews times with her hand like someone upset with themselves* Stupid! Stupid! They can see us now... They will be coming... *She stands up tall in a manner like Tara B does*
***
*Laura sets up an odd area. Its like a gym outside with various equipment far and wide for different things and even a track.*
Laura: Would you rather exercise before or after training? I'm not talking serious exercise just stuff to get you into above average shape.
Tara A: What are you talking about?
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: After...
Parasite: They look for us but she wouldn't let them see but now she is sleeping and they can see all of us. They want a feast!
****
Laura: Look if you don't want to exercise that's fine but it will be hard for you to beat an orion or a vulcan if you aren't atleast a bit better than the average human. At the very least it will give you more stamina.
Tara A: Then you go to sleep!
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: Okay.
*The parasite looks away for a moment before the roots begin receding her sclera turns back to normal and Tara A can feel Tara B waking up*
Tara B: That's a weird feeling. *stumbles around then looks at her* Tara we got to get back to the school!
***
*Laura steps into the ring not really dressed for training*
Laura: Come on.
Tara A: Wait a minute. What's going on?
*Valkyrie. Karen charges, throwing a combo of punches.*
Tara B: The hunters can see the school now. It's too late for me to shield us again they already know.
***
*Laura blocks them all and just shoves her back*
Laura: Wrong. You've got to be more strategic. Here as an example. *Laura fires off a combo of punches but as each one impacts Karen they set her up for the next punch in the combo* Try again.
*Tara A's face runs pale in terror.*
Tara A: Come on...

You had one chance. That was it.

R.S.S. Columbia. Dani marches into the CIC.*

Ops: There was a massive burst of energy at the Dawn Academy. We're picking up heavy weapons fire, including some from the Ziyal.
Dani: Take the entire division to NavCon 2 and sound Action Stations. Get Iroquios Squad and the Marines ready for deployment. Try and raise someone down there.
Ops: Aye, sir.
*The alert klaxon sounds.*
Ops: Action Stations! Action Stations! Set Navigation Condition 2 throughout the ship! Combat detected on planet surface! This is not a drill! Captain Dir'kor and Sergeant Halix, report to Combat Information! Repeat, Dir'kor and Halix to CIC! This is not a drill! Action Stations! Action Stations!
Technician: All ships acknowledge NavCon 2, Captain.
Dani: Let me know when Alpha Flight is ready for launch.
*The fighting is getting more balanced. They manage to take down 2 more hunters for good till the Leader fires a blade with a huge amount of power and begins destroying the cannons. Laura stabs him in the back but it doesn't seem to impact him. He turns around blasts her repeatedly heavily damaging her armor and sending her flying. He moves to finish her off but a blast sends him flying too. Tara M grabs Laura and gets her to the Valkyrie. The remaining hunters kill a few more students*

Dani: Alpha Flight, this is Command Columbia. Perform a recon sweep of the Dawn Academy and report. Use extreme prejudice. If anything looks at you funny, blow it straight to Hell!

Dani: Target those life forms and lock quantum torpedoes.

*Laura sets up an odd area. Its like a gym outside with various equipment far and wide for different things and even a track.*
Laura: Would you rather exercise before or after training? I'm not talking serious exercise just stuff to get you into above average shape.
Tara A: What are you talking about?
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: After...

Parasite: They look for us but she wouldn't let them see but now she is sleeping and they can see all of us. They want a feast!

Laura: Look if you don't want to exercise that's fine but it will be hard for you to beat an orion or a vulcan if you aren't atleast a bit better than the average human. At the very least it will give you more stamina.
Tara A: Then you go to sleep!
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: Okay.

*Laura blocks them all and just shoves her back*
Laura: Wrong. You've got to be more strategic. Here as an example. *Laura fires off a combo of punches but as each one impacts Karen they set her up for the next punch in the combo* Try again.
*Tara A's face runs pale in terror.*
Tara A: Come on...
*They port back to the school.
Valkyrie. Karen takes a quick breath and tries again, Laura blocking her first punch as Karen uses the recoil to throw one into her side and then going for a middle kick.*

A trooper walks in
Malick: yes
Trooper: sir a small group of RNI ships and UNSC ships are approaching the planet.

The trooper salutes as he leaves the room malick leans back taking a drink as a smile crosses his face.
*They see multiple portals open up around the campus and Tara A notices something. They look an awful lot like the tears that the Guardian used to move them around.*

Laura: TRIBBLE. Uh stay on the ship you'll be safe here. I need to go suit up. *the holodeck ends the program*
*Tara A tells Tara B to shield the building once everyone's inside, and tells Tara and Laura to do the same with their ships.

Leader: Oh please. We eat energy. You could barely handle me let alone all of us. *waves an arm gesturing to the rest of the hunters* There are easier ways to commit suicide you know. You're going to die and then we're going to destroy those barriers and we're going to kill everything here.
*Tara A can sense that the Rook doesn't seem as enthusiastic as the other hunters to kill*
***
Laura: Sis you can't take them all alone. I'm not letting you kill yourself. *Starts putting on her armor.*
Tara A: Humans drink water. We can still drown.
*Tara A's voice suddenly starts echoing, like two voices speaking at once.*
You had one chance. That was it.
*Her body flares white, before a massive explosion of energy consumes the entire campus (except the shielded central building, the Ziyal and the Valkyrie), like a nuclear explosion, except far more intense.*
