Ken narrowed his eyes behind the visor of his helmet, before quickly ramming into Ren to shove him aside and diving down to barely dodge a bolt of lightning fired by Volt. "Don't interfere! I'm about to perform the greatest experiment ever; I will force further evolution upon myself with this Zodiarts Switch, and become the ultimate Roidmude!" With a wicked cackle, Volt pressed the Switch, light erupting from his body, followed by chains, and finally forcing an evolution, his body looking like a combination of the Hound Zodiarts with his own Roidmude form. "BAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM INVINCIBLE!"
Getting back to his feet, and growled. "Dammit, he pulled it off. Mahou-san, do you have some kind of closed-circuit communication spell? I don't think shouting our strategy back and forth would be very effective."
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the school, a dark figure approached, an air of death about him, and a wicked vibe to his step. "That idiot! He knows how the higher ups feel about using such hideous means to evolve. Now they want ME to teach him a lesson? Damn idiots, the lot of them!"
Ren shook his head to Ken, "I'd have to cast something, I don't have anything like that normally. You need to give me time to figure it out." He figured time wasn't a thing they had. He cast some earth magic forward, sending juts of stone from the ground for the new hybrid to try to buy some time for them.

Ken groaned, stretching a bit. "No time. Just keep moving and hit hard." As soon as he stopped talking, Ken charged in, launching a punch aimed at Volt's leg, to try and knock him off balance, but Volt simply countered by kicking Ken at the wall, knocking the wind out of him.
Ren ran in and rolled, coming up from his roll to aim the strongest kick he could for the monster's torso, but even his physically strongest form did nothing. He quickly rolled back and pushed himself out of the way to avoid an attack.

Volt laughed, crackling lightning around its left hand. "FOOLS! Do you realize why I chose this room in particular? The shelves! The pipes! This room is a massive conduction chamber! And you...you are now my newest test subjects!" He laughed again, and tapped the tip of his large, pointed "hand" into the nearest shelf, sending bolts and waves of electricity bounding about the room, just barely missing the still-winded Ken, who shortly after fell to the ground in a thud.
Back above ground, the dark figure continued to move towards the science building, ignoring the students and faculty questioning why he was there, or who he was. As he finally got out of sight, having slipped into a shadow and moved into a building, he transformed, his form now very angular, and colored in silver, black, and white.
Ren thrust another ring onto his finger and scanned it onto his belt.
DEFEND
Walls of earth and stone rose up and encircled Ren and Ken. Ren ducked down to Ken's side, "How are you doing?" he asked quickly. He looked at his walls, feeling that they weren't going to hold for too long against an attack like this. The only upside was that he figured electricity would have a harder time breaching the earthen walls.

Ken's eyes blazed open, glowing a fierce orange, as his voice became entirely monotone and devoid of emotion. "Do not interfere. This enemy is not a Phantom, and this is not your business. Evacuate immediately." Following this, Ken rose to his feet, charging at Volt and launching another explosive punch, this time aimed for the new addition to Volt's torso, working on the assumption that it may be a power conductor.
Ren watched as Ken leapt back into battle. Ok, something was clearly up, and he had no idea what it was. He wasn't going to leave, though (well, he did have a Phantom to deal with...somewhere...). He would just sit back and wait to see what Ken was capable of pulling off.

Volt panicked, launching a pounter punch with his right hand, and Ken smirked under his mask, though his voice remained monotone. "Perfect. You proved my theory. Limit release, override code; Big Bang. Magician, this is your last chance to evacuate. I take no responsibility for what happens after this point." With that, the Highway Hauler began to whir loudly, the entirety of Type Highway's armor buzzing, and he loosed another punch, again aimed at the core.
Ren wasn't leaving. He moved back, but he was going to stay in this area and see what was about to happen. Granted, he cast his Defense spell again to raise some walls as a precaution for his own safety.

Just before the hit made impact, Volt slammed the point of his electrified left hand into Ken;s head, releasing a jolt strong enough to send Ken flying into a wall and forcibly undoing his transformation. However, before Ren could act, three gunshots rang out, one piercing Volt's head, the other two piercing the energy core, shattering it and forcing Volt back into his pure Roidmude form, and then back to his unevolved form. "Volt, you idiot. You decided to do something stupid, and now I've gotta reset you back to Level 1. Got anything to say before I do?"
Ren was moving to try to help Ken when the shots rang out. He looked back, looking for the shooter. Was this another ally? But then the words made Ren reconsider the newcomer's allegiance. Ren made it to Ken's side and created a defensive wall around them for good measure.
