Academy of Villains: Now With 200% More Multiverse [IC]

[CoraSpia]

"Hello," Karl said, sighing. "She wants to be alone at the moment...apparently someone made her cry, not sure who that might have been, but life is full of its little mysteries. Well...are you going to stand their cuddling me all day, or are we going to sit down and talk about this with use of our brains?"

[Kractero]

"I love you too much to go dying," Karl said, smiling as he exited the room slowly.

Karl didn't know why he did it, but out of the corner of his eye he spotted Benson messing around on a laptop. He smiled, as all of a sudden the laptop crashed.

Benson spotted Karl also, flipping him off when his computer crashed. "Some friend that you turned out to be," he said, getting up with superspeed and running until he was right behind Karl, sliding his arm around his shoulder so he could put him into a headlock if he wanted. "Shouldn't you be hanging out with your new girlfriend?"

Now the kid is trying to choke Karl, Miguel observed, quite obviously. An understandably dick move. Let's see how Karl reacts.

Miguel would help, but that running...was so far.

Nicely done...

"Hello," Karl said, sighing. "She wants to be alone at the moment...apparently someone made her cry, not sure who that might have been, but life is full of its little mysteries. Well...are you going to stand their cuddling me all day, or are we going to sit down and talk about this with use of our brains?"

Benson moved his hand slightly before roughly jabbing Karl in the neck, near a pressure point. He then backed away, turning towards his new room. "Get the hell out of my face, before I do something I'm going to regret," he said, walking towards the room.

"Um, are you okay?" asked Ice, who didn't know what was going on.

"I need space," he muttered, slamming the door in her face and returning to his laptop. I shouldn't have came to this fucking school. At least I was happy as a loner, robbing banks in Oregon...

[CoraSpia]

Karl sighed: luckily, Benson had missed the pressure point. It still hurt though.

Determined to be the more intelligent of the two, He didn't simply fry Benson's laptop, like he could. Instead, he made a pop-up chat window appear on the side of the screen:

[I] I'm sorry. I didn't know your feelings for her were as strong as they clearly were. Don't think I was taking advantage or anything...I was actually comforting her about you when it started.
If you want my advice, which you probably don't, I'd look at Kadus. You know, that girl with the blue eyes who ran out just after you got back in? She's kind, very loyal and intelligent...but also not afraid to give you a good kick up the arse if it's needed. Go for it...I think you might get off.[/quote]

The small eye symbol danced at the bottom, as always.

[Unified Free Lands]

I know I shouldn't be so mad about all of this, I just feel... Betrayed. I'll be fine, I need time to myself, Benson typed back, before going into a program to scan for the AI that he had been searching for earlier. It was apparently active on the Jupiter, too, and not just the bases. He was interrupted when Ice walked in. "Are you really going to help me fix my aging?"

"Yeah, but later," he replied with a sigh. "I'd need access to a proper lab... And I can't make promises, biology isn't my strong suit."

Ice just nodded, sitting down on the other bed as he continued to type.

[CoraSpia]

I understand. I'm sorry. BTW, think I'm nearly their in cracking the code so I can find out what this system is.


Karl sighed, got out his gun and began to do what Marissa had ordered him to: he disappeared into the assassins base at a jog.

[Galnius]

Rachel had been humming along, causing destruction and spreading insanity wherever she may roam, add per usual. Apparently, she was supposed to do something... Something with water.... But she couldn't remember quite what is was. "Maybe I was sounded to drink all the water? But this is a lake, I mean, that's just stupid. What could be have been thinking, 'drink all the water'". She stopped in front of a few students, a deadly look in their eyes. " Hiya boys and girls ", she said, regardless of some of them being her age, " Anyone want to dance? " Teleporting above one, and grabbed him by the head, twisting and spinning sharply, breaking his neck. "I'm hearing the beat, and I need some partners in a tango."

[Skyline United]

Meire sat alone in his room. He was horrified, scared of himself. The walls were covered in scorch marks. He had made several discoveries about his abilities. It was true. All if what Lance said. He was a demon...but a demon lord? How? How would he not remember her past.

Violet had been dazed and confused lately. Her near-death experience was still fresh in her mind, despite how long its been. Her hands shook as she hugged her knees. Her eyes were wide as a cold sweat ran across her body. The fear. The memory was like a nightmare that never ended.

[Unified Free Lands]

Honor moved towards Violet, kneeling next to her, the assault rifle still in her hands. "Hey, are you alright? You don't have to fight if you don't want to... We could slip away to somewhere, we could hide until this is all over... I don't have any abilities now, I'm probably going to end up getting killed again if I go out there."

Benson closed his eyes for a minute before looking back to his laptop, more specifically the code of the program that had been running. He started downloading the whole code, even though he didn't know what it did yet. I have an idea... And it might just distract me enough to get over all this other stuff.

"What are you doing?" asked Ice, seeing how fast he was typing.

"Just working on a project I started earlier," he muttered, wondering what exactly to do with the code now that he had it on his laptop. Now to find out what everything does... And trim it down to the useful parts.

[Videssos]

Kadus left Sabrina behind, hearing voices around a corridor.

She smiled as she saw two of the students she'd seen on file as being captured with a figure she didn't recognise...guess the party is really on.
Moving in her usual graceful mannor, she walked up to them.
"Kadus," she introduced herself. "You look like this is all under control. Do you know where they've taken the others? If it's not all under control, do feel free to kill that woman, no one minds."

As the battle began in earnest, Maria readied himself. Though the intruders had not yet reached him, from the sounds of fighting, he knew it wouldn't be long. The young assassin pulled out the main gun he'd equipped himself with, a compact, lightweight carbine, the particular designation of which was SIG SG 552 Commando, equipped with 5.6mm Gw Pat 90 rounds. Although he seemed oddly quiet and focused, the Romanian killer of questionable gender seemed more like a young girl than someone who killed at the behest of others. He closed his eyes briefly, and delved into areas of his mind that were closer to his subconscious, and thus to the dream realm, than would usually be accessible to most people whilst awake.

He drew upon some of the psychic energy in that "mental reality," transferring it to a more easily usable form within his physical body. It could be used for a variety of things, including the more taxing aspects of his power, like manifesting or summoning items or creatures from within his dreams or nightmares. Of course, that was much easier when he was actually asleep, though his control over how these things interacted with the real world whilst asleep, was somewhat dubious at times.

Maria opened his eyes again, before narrowing them ever so slightly as footsteps approached from the nearby passageway of the base. He steadied his gun, before moving forward, his lithe form quick, though hardly superhuman in speed. Of course, he could enhance his physical capabilities with that energy, but he preferred to keep it for more potent purposes. Maria's enhanced senses and healing could compensate, to some degree. His eyes glowed faintly, a sign that the power within him was growing, and that it was at its current stage, more than ready for whatever he needed. As the intruder grew closer, he rapidly moved around the corner, and began firing towards them. The intruder, he noticed as he opened fire, seemed to be a teenage girl (though still older than him) with brown hair and body armour.

Honor moved towards Violet, kneeling next to her, the assault rifle still in her hands. "Hey, are you alright? You don't have to fight if you don't want to...

She looked up to her as tears streamed down her face and managed to nod. "Y-yes... I think it would be best if we sat out on this one..." she replied, struggling to speak. "I-I need you..."

"Why... Why are you so upset? Did I do something wrong?" asked Honor, running through a mental list of things that she could have done to offend Violet. I would be crying too if I was stuck with you as a girlfriend, one of the voices in her head commented.

Honor ignored the voice, taking Violet's hand. "Come on... Let's go somewhere quiet where we can talk."

[CoraSpia]

Kadus was always on guard. It would probably hurt her heart in later life, but for her current job it was extremely helpful. So, even while she attempted to not have to kill the Japanese woman, she caught sight of the young girl? Boy? She couldn't tell...running around the corner. When it started firing, therefore, she was ready: pressing herself down against the floor, muscles tensing, muscles expanding as she leapt.

The cyborg moved fast: extremely so: on the ground one second, the next in the air with a dart gun in her hand. The darts it fired were not nice, not nice at all. Most people took unkindly to them, actually.
Theyhad the effect of immobilising the targets muscles in a way that caused most of them to cramp. In a few minutes, someone hit with one would be in excruciating pain...very useful if it was ones intention to interigate them later, without the wish to need to use torture.
Her rate of fire wasn't the best with this gun: her accuracy however was certainly one of the best she'd seen before. She aimed at his shoulders and arms: good, meaty areas.

A girl... Chikusho!

Nevertheless, Geisha crept up behind the girl quietly and drew a throwing star from her belt. Tipped in poison, a single cut would ensure a slow death...

[Amuaplye]

He finally got out into the hangar, but only stood outside, watching. "Chto-to plokhoye sluchitsya, ya eto znayu." He sighed. "Studenty zdes' vsego duraki."

Kadus had heard the girl moving, and guessed that she'd be coming for her. Sure enough, she could hear her walking up behind her...1....2...3...now!

She twisted, jumped and kicked, a blow which at best would shatter her knee, at worst though it'd at least distract her.

It certainly didn't shatter her knee, but it did do some damage. Geisha dropped to the ground, and only barely managed to avoid cutting herself with the star. She tossed it in Kadus's direction, at the same time attempting a strike to the other girl's legs, distracting her from the tiny star.

[Videssos]

Maria senses were alert enough to know that the darts were coming, and he veered to the right, using his small frame, agility and reflexes to counter a lack of superhuman speed. He lifted one hand from the Swiss-made carbine, and chanelled some of that earlier energy into manifesting something from the depths of his dreams. A pale blue light flickered and swam, emerging from that arm in waves, suffused with an inky blackness.

Almost akin to a faulty TV screen, it shimmered in and out of reality, before shapes began arcing forth from the morass of energy. Glowing spikes shot forward, followed by a strange, twisting creature that leapt out.

A shadowy enity bleeding a blue-grey substance, with eight clawed legs, a scaled exterior, and a form part-human, and partially a hybrid of an insect and a wolf, appeared. A strange noise somewhere between keening and growling emerged from its two fanged maws, and four eyes focused on the enemy not far away. The creature seemed bizzarely fluid, as if not entirely physical, but the marks it left on the ground beneath it were real enough. It raced forward, the nightmare beast eager to attack the girl.

Meanwhile, Maria, having narrowly avoided the earlier darts, watched and readied his gun once more as the creature attacked. That "dream summoning" as it were, wasn't exactly cheap, especially when he and his target were fully awake, and so it had to be manifested phyiscally, but it was nonetheless a rather potent ability.

[CoraSpia]

Kadus missed the star by inches as she jumped on the other girl, kicking her arm as it flailed towards her leg as she prepared to do more. Suddenly she noticed what the boy/gifl thing had produced...and she didn't like it one bit. She swallowed hard: this had quickly become 3 to 1.
She was not generally thankful for Karl's cybernetic powers, especially the one that allowed him to realise that inside Kadus' head was a computerised thing that was half computer and brain. It let him read it, communicate with it...attempting to control it led to a trained assassin who was very angry pinning him up against the wall. When Karl came in, however at a run, she was thankful that he'd been literally reading her mind as he simply targeted the nightmare creature with his gun and fired a long stream of bullets towards it.

This wouldn't do though, Karl decided. Their were still more assassins in the base, and it was 3-to-2. They should have superior numbers: where they were however was another thing entirely.
Knowing that it probably wouldn't work, he began to play with Benson's laptop again, creating a chat box which replaced whatever he was doing.
Benson, it's Karl. Kadus is pinned down with 3 hostiles. I'm getting towards her but we need backup. Oh...and if you don't lend a hand it won't be you who's mad.

[Amuaplye]

He finally got out into the hangar, but only stood outside, watching. "Chto-to plokhoye sluchitsya, ya eto znayu." He sighed. "Studenty zdes' vsego duraki."

He finally walked in, with his fencing sword. "Sorry I was late, I had a slight mental breakdown... please forgive me..."

[Unified Free Lands]

Benson, sighed, annoyed, before closing his laptop and looking to Ice. "You want to help kill some assassins?" he asked, and the blond girl shrugged.

"Not my fight," she muttered, standing up.

"Yeah, but some of the others are having a rough time in battle, if you want to find a cure you might need their help later," Benson replied. Ice just nodded.

He was about to run off to the battlefield, but he realized she had to get there too, so he quickly picked her up, to her surprise, and started running fast enough to get there soon but not fast enough to hurt her. They arrived outside the base entrance, and Benson lowered Ice to the ground, going into a crouch himself outside the door, while Ice unholstered her two pistols and moved into the base.

[Kractero]

My daughter,

I don't have much time to talk, it's a surprise that this prison even allowed me to respond to you.

You make me proud, Mari. You sent me to prison but nothing changes that you are my daughter. You aren't useless, stop telling yourself that, you revealed those American pigs to their people that they were spying on them. That's a great accomplishment, you've done more than me already. So, I'm glad I got you into computers. I didn't want you to have no purpose in life, like me and your mother.

Speaking of your mother, she...she-well, you will find out when you read her email. She's not holding up too well, she's too accustomed to her rich lifestyle under me. She's not doing good. She's not being serious in the email, you know she loves you...she's just trying to be like one of the Asian moms.

Have fun at the school, remember that they are the reason you aren't in jail.

I love you,

Dad

P.S: You're too young to be getting pregnant, tell that Karl kid to use protection.

Marissa reads the email, her spirits raising from the events that unfolded earlier in the day. At least her dad still loved her...she wondered how her mom was reacting. Probably cursing her out, calling her a slut and useless... Which was probably true, the events today kind of made it evident to her. Her mom always told her that she was no-good for hanging out with guys. Reaching the end of the email, she giggles quietly to herself. He does have protection...right?

The thought of Karl entered her mind, and she wondered how he was doing. And Benson, Kadus, and Miguel. She still wanted to say sorry for Benson, she should've thought of him. She didn't regret being with Karl, but wondered how things may have turned out differently had Benson not been kidnapped by "Bitch" Anastasia.

She clicks her mother's email, and it really was short and "sweet." Vai se Foder. You are the shittiest daughter I could've asked for, what did I do God? Useless son of a bitch. Kill yourself. hope you die.

Marissa laughed to herself. Her mother never changed. This was the first time she told her to kill herself or die however. Marissa used to consider suicide as an option, before she entered the school of course. But with the current events... She laughed the thought of. Was it a joke? Her father would never understand.

After a few seconds, she felt something else. Something she hadn't felt in a long time, not since her mother hit her when she was younger. She felt physical pain. A lot of pain, so so so much pain.

It was a dart, right in her shoulder, she tried to pull it out, but her arms wouldn't let her.

She felt the world spinning, she felt weaker. She hobbled over to her bed, collapsing on it as her legs weakened.

She couldn't move her body. The pain was growing stronger.

She laughed hoarsely. You got your wish mom. And Benson. You won't have to see me anymore.

Before drifting unconscious, she thought K-karl...I love you... And then the world went black.

[Unified Free Lands]

After Ice ran into the base, both guns out, she looked around before running down the main corridor and decided that she was going to look for Madame Anastasia. The quickest way to end this fight is to get to her... If I can find her. And if I take her down, then maybe the other assassins can finally get their freedom...

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Coilin, having slowly rolled through the snow after the other attacking students, cursed the cold loudly in Gaelic. He had never experienced cold like this before, not even in the coldest reaches of North Ireland. Not even Nepal had seemed this cold...

He shivered in his jacket as he rolled into the base, his lips a little blue. Looking around, he saw most assassins and guards dealing with his fellow students. He continued one, his mind probing through the base for his first and second goals.

First, was his Morrigan, of course. Second was her torturer.

"Where are you, Flint? You bastard..." he muttered, the chair silently gliding through the base.

[Charlia]

Everything was a blur.

Just a hazy fuzz of color around her. The blueish-white of the lights, the gray of the room, the silvery steel beneath her, the black of her ripped-open shirt and the opaque green of the tubes running into her chest... and the red of blood. Why was she bleeding? A pool of blood was collecting around her prone body, and she couldn't figure out where it was all coming from.

All she knew for sure was pain.
