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

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Later! Later... Coilin responded, frowning. Let's get this control room thing over with, and then we can communicate as much as possible as you hunt down those two intruders. And hopefully kill them in... wonderful ways.

Right. Right, she thought firmly.

Focus on the operation at hand.

All thoughts on the target...

Her running became smoother, easier. She was more smoke on the breeze than a human being, now. A shadow at midnight.

A raven of death.

Beautiful... Coilin thought to himself, blinking. He tried to keep up, but fell back to the end of the group, his arms becoming tired.

Morrigan , teachtaire an bháis , feicim eitilt tú , eitilt chun do misean ... Agus ar chúis éigin , is dóigh liom pian . Brón . Brón . Is oth liom ... nach bhfuil tú ag teacht go dtí mé ... he thought, slowing even more, watching her and suddenly waxing poetic.

He wasn't attracted, certainly. She was his friend.

Pawn. She was his pawn.

Right?

Honor's eyes widened and she had an almost shocked look on her face but it was replaced by a wide smile. "Don't worry about it, it's fine," she laughed, suddenly looking visibly happier and more energetic. So... Today isn't all bad.

"If you really want to risk your life for me, I'm not going to stop you," Gabriel said eventually. "I know for a fact that I don't have to worry about getting hurt by your abilities... Mainly because I used to have the same ones, only opposite, since I was an angel."

"We already know who they are and I know what they want, the hard part is stopping them from getting it," Question said. "They're clones that we created awhile ago who are coming back to look for someone else like them. Two people actually. And they aren't going to get them."

She smiled slightly in return. "A-are you sure?" she asked. She was both embarrassed and scared. She wasn't supposed to feel this way about a girl, yet she still did. I-I am falling for her... A mortal...

"Death, Life, and Love. The three fox demons. Me, I'm Death. Meire is Life. Violet is Love. Sadly I do not retain my more dangerous abilities in this world." he explained. "Because of what I am, that is why she died. I can't be with a mortal. Otherwise they may suffer the same fate." Now then... This could be taken the wrong way. "I love you Gabriel. I know that I've only known you for a day, but that doesn't change my feelings."

After all the students managed to get out of the assembly room, Zayne decided that his help could have been used in taking back the control room so he follow Anton and his group. He still remained silent as he didn't want to give much information about himself.

James spots Zayne tagging along and with much reluctance walks up to him and carefully says "Um, hello. I'm James. I can control time and stuff. Anyway, didn't see you tagging along. What's your name?"

He then notices Marissa and replies awkwardly "Nice to meet you Marissa. My name's James, and I'm sure you already know what my powers are. So you're a hacker huh? That'll probably come in handy when we take back the control room."

He then notices Marissa and replies "Nice to meet you Marissa. My name's James, and I'm sure you already know what my powers are."

"Yes, I do, Time boy." She giggles. "Found a file on you in some confidential Japanese documents."

"Oh shoot, I really should have remembered to delete those files" James says with slight embarrassment in his voice. "Also, wait, did you just call me Time Boy? he asks sounding very confused and surprised.

"Well this is certainly an exciting first day," Lee thought. "After all it's been a while since I've seen some action happen." As Anton and his group headed off to the control room, Lee decided walk off to look for the intruders that had locked them in before. After all surely such a large group could defend itself. As he did so he began humming "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" as he walked.

"My name is Zayne." he said short and reluctantly. There wasn't any harm in giving out his name but it was still something he didn't like doing. He made a note to remember this one since control over time is a powerful ability.

The intruders must be insanely strong or insanely stupid to attack the Academy, Matthew thought. Perhaps even both - all the more reason to stick with the main group. As he trailed behind them, he was amused at the sudden turn of events, and on their first day, even. Staying silent like he usually did, Matthew was a coiled spring; tense enough to be aware of his surroundings and fend off any attacks, but also at the same time, relaxed to be able to think clearly and logically in battle. He had a vague idea of where the entire group was going, a control room - wherever that was.

"Yes, I do, Time boy." She giggles. "Found a file on you in some confidential Japanese documents."

"Oh shoot, I really should have remembered to delete those files" James says with slight embarrassment in his voice. "Also, wait, did you just call me Time Boy? he asks sounding very confused and surprised.

"Don't worry about it," she says, giggling. "I like giving stupid nicknames."

Not quite sure what to do, Piper just kept following Zayne. After all, he and that other girl were the only people he knew... even if they were probably going to use him. But that wasn't important right now.

"Hey... what's going on?"

"Hey... what's going on?"

"There you are, I couldn't find you after I left my test. At this point I'm just going along with what they are saying." Zayne said. In a much quieter voice he said "Just keep playing along and gain their trust, it'll help get in good with them and we can act more freely later."

[Arstotzkas]

"Don't worry about it," she says, giggling. "I like giving stupid nicknames."

Oh, great" James says, his voice still sounding a little bit embrassed "I mean, you can call me that if you want, I'm just not too personally a fan of it. So, anyway how did you end up in this odd Academy?"

"We already know who they are and I know what they want, the hard part is stopping them from getting it," Question said. "They're clones that we created awhile ago who are coming back to look for someone else like them. Two people actually. And they aren't going to get them."

"Still raises the issue of where they've been staying and who's been helping them. Or was this places security so bad when they escaped that they also stole a shuttle, half a ton of explosives, and a couple sets of armor that included active camouflage systems. Take it from someone who lived on their own. No matter what power you have you don't last long without either help or common sense, and I doubt anyone who thinks breaking into a place they escaped from is a good idea doesn't have much of the latter."

"Whatever you say, boss man."

There was something about Zayne that got to him. Mysterious... powerful (probably)... sorta hot. The fact that he just assumed himself to be in charge was a bit annoying, but then, here he was, following this guy's instructions. Sure, it was just temporary. But maybe...

"So... you have a roommate?"

[Kractero]

"Don't worry about it," she says, giggling. "I like giving stupid nicknames."

Oh, great" James says, his voice still sounding a little bit embrassed "I mean, you can call me that if you want, I'm just not too personally a fan of it. So, anyway how did you end up in this odd Academy?"

"Nothing nearly as cool as the rest of the people here," she responds, leaving Anton's side to talk to him. "I'm just a hacker. After helping Snowden expose the U.S.A's spying, snooping around governments, hacking into Portugal's government..." She lists some more past accomplishments. "Nothing all that special..."

"We already know who they are and I know what they want, the hard part is stopping them from getting it," Question said. "They're clones that we created awhile ago who are coming back to look for someone else like them. Two people actually. And they aren't going to get them."

"Let's just go," Nikolai says, impatiently. "It's his academy, I doubt he will talk bad about it. Whatever they are, it's nothing we can't handle right? People are already there fighting."

"You can. I've found that trying to get within audible range of gun totting commando's won't end well for me. I've survived pretty well by not looking for fights to jump into that I'm at a disadvantage in. I don't intend to break that pattern now."

[Bycrest]

"There you are, I couldn't find you after I left my test. At this point I'm just going along with what they are saying." Zayne said. In a much quieter voice he said "Just keep playing along and gain their trust, it'll help get in good with them and we can act more freely later."

"So... you have a roommate?"

"No, When I claimed a room I never advertised that I was looking for a roommate. Why do you want to be my roommate? I wouldn't have a problem with it since I trust you significantly more than anyone else here, aside from Allison. It would actually be smart for us to be roommates, those are probably the least likely placed to be monitored."

"Doesn't really work out for me either," Niko responds. "But I can summon a basically endless supply of fodder, and those Academy goons are already there fighting them."

"Hey, hacking is pretty cool" says James, speaking more calmly now "It also requires a lot of skill. For instance, I'm pretty bad at it, which is probably how you found all those confidental documents about me. I mean, at least you've accomplished some pretty awesome things. All I've done with my powers so far is throw apples in the air, do some cool tricks and rewind things that I didn't want to happen."

"It seems cool," Marissa sighs softly, "until you get your parents sent to jail and you get sent to some remote academy in the middle of a third world country for them to have no trouble when they leave prison. At least I can still communicate with them, Portugal isn't that bad. I wish I could reverse some of my past decisions."

[Arana]

"Whatever you say, boss man."

It would actually be smart for us to be roommates, those are probably the least likely placed to be monitored."

"Dunno. Maybe I think y'all are hot.''

For a moment, Zayne seemed almost more naive than Piper. They would almost certainly be monitoring the rooms, more so than most places. That was where scheming was most likely to occur. That, or in the bathroom. But that was something he'd have time to work on later. Somehow, it seemed that he was going to end up being the mastermind here. As a bit of a primer, he hummed softly in Zayne's ear, charming him just enough to be more accepting towards his, for lack of a better term, advances down the road.

"Kidding, of course. Any idea where Allison is?"

[Arstotzkas]

At least I can still communicate with them, Portugal isn't that bad. I wish I could reverse some of my past decisions."

"Be careful what you wish for" James says quietly "I've tried many times to rewind people back from death. Friends, family, everybody. And each and every time something goes wrong. Maybe they die again, maybe you can't go back far enough, maybe it just doesn't work at all. Whatever the case, it seems like nature just won't let me have a victory for once. He looks down, looking almost sad for once "And then there's the guilt in knowing that even with all your abilities. all your power, all your rewinds, flash forwards, and pausing that there's simply nothing you can do to stop something predestined to happen. I saw it happen before, and I'm sure I'll see it happen again. But, there's no use worrying about the future, I suppose."

"I guess you could say there's no time for that..." She adds more seriously, "Powers are a curse. I wonder what it would feel like without any...not that I'm far off."

[Arstotzkas]

"I guess you could say there's no time for that..." She adds more seriously, "Powers are a curse. I wonder what it would feel like without any...not that I'm far off."

James genuinely laughs at the joke for a brief moment, before calming down and saying "Man, I haven't had a laugh like that in quite a long while. And yeah, some moments I feel like I don't want these powers, like they're a curse. But to me, these abilities are part of who I am, and to take them away from me would be like stripping away part of my personality, I wouldn't be the same. So, often I like to think of it like a curse, but a good curse in a sense."

James pauses for a moment to catch his breath, then slightly chuckles "Boy, that sure got deep didn't it?" he says cheerfully.

[Bycrest]

"Kidding, of course. Any idea where Allison is?"

"I think she's with the Headmaster." Zayne said.

For some reason he didn't take notice to Piper's first comment. But there was something else that did catch his attention. He couldn't place his finger on it but there was something that was on his mind and it had something to do with Piper. Eh, it's probably not that important. Zayne thought as he pushed the thought back to focus on more important things.

"Now that I think about it, we might be better off facing the intruders." he said as he realized how many students were going to the control room. For once he was trying to get attention and what better way than taking out the intruders. He made a mental note to sneak back into the control room one day and headed off to where the intruders were.
