After arriving at the stronghold that is the dining room Dedric felt that introductions could wait. Seeing that a group of students were getting ready to go out a find the source Dedric volunteered to tag along being that in an assassin family martial arts is a staple of everyday life. And he felt obligated to help.

It took Billy until the first skirmish to realize that what was following him, what he was leading through the halls of the Kethencial College of magic, was an army. An army that included ranks from every School of magic and every grade level. How had this happened? Had it been him? Mr. Zaubar? Or was it simply the students had formed up like this spontaneously? Whatever the case, The Kethencian College Arachnid Elimination Force was currently following his lead. The stress was mind-numbing.
Of course, he was happy they were all together. They had found Mr. Ashgrove, slightly ticked at being almost eaten by spiders, and his new friend Mr. Irving. Mr. Ashgrove's hands had been bad, sliced up almost to ribbons. Luckily, Miss Lux, one of the healers, had patched them up. Billy had learned the name of everyone marching behind him, along with the most important thing. Burial: Under a tree, to help it grow. Billy felt that, now, it was more important than ever. He glanced at those student behind him. Mr. Stacy was walking forward with almost forced dignity (Burial: at sea), Mr. Bones was riding on several undead spiders (Donation: Body is entombed in the morgue and reanimated for study), Miss Cherry the fire student to his left (Cremation: Ashes scattered over volcano), and behind them scores of other students. Sky Burial Burial at sea Chopped up and sent back to her family for supper Placed in a glass casket and returned to her homeland Mummification Donated to Science Skeleton made into a puppet Hair sewn into a doll and placed within the family gallery Billy was also worried about Miss Yamata-san (Placed into a piece to watch over the family), Mr.Shinowaki (Cremated: ashes scattered across Ireland), and all of the other people he had met. For the first time, the prospect of performing burial rights did not excite him. If he was wrong, if he was leading them into some sort of trap, then there would be so many funerals... Billy shook himself out of his daze to find a new person walking behind him. Billy recognized him as the boy Mr. Zaubar had returned with. Billy cleared his throat and began to talk while walking. "Mr. Dedric! I had no idea you were coming with us. You might not know me, my name is Billy Bishop, and it's a honor to make your acquaintance. This may seem like a personal question, but, Do you have any particular funeral rights that you observe. I believe it is very important, I mean, not vital of course, but, well, knowing would make me feel more at ease. If it's not prying."

Billy turns out to be an excellent choice in leading the coalition of students. His care for each students traditions causes the students to trust him. In no time, we make it to where Billy said he found the source. I can feel everyone tensing up, not knowing what to expect.
I think to my self, It has been long enough for some of my mana to regenerate, I'll be able to channel a shield but I'll have to save it for the right moment.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. |

"It is absolutely vital, Mr. Irving. The dead must be treated with the proper respect. To not abide by the deceased wishes is is the height of rudeness, especially if they died in defense of society. Don''t misunderstand, this isn't because I think we will lose! Not at all! I'm very confident about our chances! It's just that..."
Billy takes a deep breath. "If I were to get any of you killed in this battle, a proper funeral is literally the most I could do." Then, suddenly, they were there. A giant, dark corridor. The source. Alright. Billy clapped his hands together to draw the attention of the group. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSiBECsLDZ8&feature=related "Alright everyone, this is the place. We seal this off, and no more spiders come through. Unfortunately, once we start attacking it, spiders are probably going to come swarming out of the hole, like ants. According to a very reliable source, that is what spiders are like. So, we need one group dedicated to bringing that archway down, and another to fend off the spiders until it's destroyed. Now, if you have ever stomped an anthill or kicked a hornets nest, you know what kind of job that is going to be. It won't be pleasant. But if we were the type to let a huge number of spiders beat us, we would all be shriveled, useless corpses right now! So, after we win, we should be able to mop up whatever is left of their forces within the school itself, then go back to our rooms, sleep, and try to forget this incident ever occurred. Does anyone have any objections to this plan?"

The spider queen lumbers out of the web filled hall that it dwelt in. A group of newly hatched spiders swarmed behind it. The queen appeared to be in a rage, ready to defend its lair and its young. Releasing twin sprays, it both trapped a section of students in a set of webs and poisoned another group as the spider's venom caused them to immediately start vomiting. The unharmed forces of the student coalition sprang into action immediately, running to attack the spider's legs.

charging in with the rest of the students the one that seemed to be leading the charge tossed a questions at Dedric that surprised him but hearing that the answer would bring ease to Billy Dedric answered " well i cant say anyone in my family has ever had a funeral like other people, if i die my body will incinerate itself as to hide any family secrets. If i recall a moment of silence will do."
as they reached the dark hall, the source of the infestation "I'm as ready as I'll ever be" said Dedric in a serious tone. |
as Dedric ran in he started doing as much as he could being that his limited magic was not suited for combat. Dedric began to put his martial arts training to good use
"there's no end to them!" |

"Who knows how many egg could be back there." Billy though urgently.
Barley dodging a stream of web, Billy gathers a group of disorganized destruction students. "The mouth, the mouth of the lair. Aim for that, ignore her for now. We have to cut off it's angle of retreat and keep it from being reenforced. Take down that archway!" The student do what they where brought to do. With some other providing cover, the destruction student fire off a salvo of destruction spells at the archway. The doorway begins to crack and warp and the destructors lay spell after spell into it, but the small spiders have begun their advance and would be upon them before the work could be finished. Billy, trusty book in hand, let out a war cry and laid into them, swinging with wicked abandon and pulverizing any spider that came close.

"It's quite all right, Mr. Ashgrove." Billy says, mid swing. The spider leaping at Eric back was knocked clear across the room. "I'll have you know that you aren't the first person to bleed on me today."
Their talk is interrupted by a load sound of rubble, as the tunnel entrance imploded in on itself. Perfect. Now queen web spinner was cut off from her children, angry, and the only escape route was through every student in the hall. ..... This may not have been such a great plan after all.

Spotting Eric from amid the spider webs I'm tangled up in, I decide to use the last of my mana. Channeling a shield onto Ashgrove, a gold outline covers his body.
"Eric, I'm channeling a shield on you! Get up on its back and try to take it out!" (This might protect you from pain of using your mana as well Bug, but that is up to you.)

"Well, actually..." Billy began, but he was cut off by a series of screams.
Spiders don't actually have vocal cords, so for one, even an enormous one, to let out an inarticulate shrike of pure rage and fury was quite impossible. So the charge toward the destruction students that left them and anyone between them and the spider queen scattered like nine-pins was accompanied only by the shrieks of pain and fear of the students it hit along the way. Billy, in particular, it had almost backhanded into a wall, scattering the pages of his book hither, dither and yon and depriving him of his only weapon. This didn't effect his ability to fight, because the concussion stole his consciousness moments later.
