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

[Kingdom of Irhk]

"Then, as a deity, you are obviously wise. Wise enough to know that anything you will do will affect your host and by extension, you. So, I understand the fundamental right of not liking another person, as I'm a protector of this right by heart. However, if you make a battle happen here, you'll be affecting your main way of roaming around this Earth, which wouldn't bring you any good results."

Shadow had put the new person in the "dangerous" part of his profiles. He would try to solve the situation diplomatically. If not, he would have to take a course of action in order to continue his investigation about the Academy. Problem is: He would have to fight a...god?

Host?
Ha.
This boy is not my host.
He is my plaything, a result of a hate contract.

The god released its grip on Amelia, keeping her from dying.
I will leave you alone on the condition that my toy will leave here in relative peace.
With a flash of light the room was suddenly bigger. A glowing blue line rimmed the area where the back wall used to be, and the room was easily twice as big as before. Another bed sat in this extra space.
Happy?

If anything, Shadow was somewhat impressed. It was clear that he wasn't a literal god, but he surely had powers that could fit in the concept of some gods, like creation, destruction, preservation and modification of space. The sadism showed by the being when it said that the boy was his "plaything" caught his attention. But that was a matter for future investigations.

Shadow was impersonating a villain character, but that didn't stop him from calmly walking to the passed out Amelia, crouching near her.

"Happy? No. But as I said, you have the right of disliking people. Yes, your host will be in relative peace."

Relative was the precise word in that case. Shadow had the habit of focusing in the choice of words of people. This entity chose it well enough. Everyone knew that the boy would be in constant torment, so the relative was masterfully applied. A sign of knowledge,maybe. After his mental notes were concluded, he decided to check on Amelia.

"Ms. Engawa, are you alright?"

[Skyline United]

"I was created to be in charge of a special forces group of my nation's Airforce." she answered. "They prioritized my education, leaving out anything they deemed unnecessary. My purpose is to fly this jet to the best if my abilities...."

She jumped off of the wing, now standing directly in front of him. "You'd be surprised at what I can do. My reflexes are far superior to that of a human. Then there's my speed, stamina, senses, etc."

Dagon Argrave
Dolly jumped down, landing mere inches in front of him. She hadn't been wrong when she called herself adorable. He hadn't realized how golden her eyes were, like polished amber. Or how smooth her features seemed, framed in her long red hair. He had to pull himself back into the conversation to avoid seeming like a weirdo.

"Huh. You used etcetera abbreviated while talking. Weird choice, but I won't judge." She talked about her abilities, how she was past peak human in several regards. "I'd love to see just what you can do. After all, a special forces girl like you ought to have a few moves to show off. Like those reflexes. I bet they're—" he paused, looking up with a smirk, "snakelike-DANG IT!" He facepalmed himself, ashamed of messing up such a simple joke.

How could screw that up? Sky handed you that on a silver platter!

"I don't know!" He turned back around. "I'm so sorry about that. I was just—" His hand shot out suddenly, in an attempt to boop her nose before she could stop him. Time to see if her reflexes were past peak human.

As his hand reached for her nose, she grabbed his outstretched index finger. Her cat-like claws dug into the finger slightly, causing little pain. "Told you," she giggled, releasing her grip on his finger. "You know... You're a strange man... You ruined your joke to out me into a state of confusion, then you tried to take advantage of it." She smiled, leaning against the jet. "Too bad it didn't work."

[Sunken Island of Rhinomuraena]

Iscalis walks towards him, uncertain what to say. "No... you did nothing wrong..." She stops suddenly, tears coming to her eyes. She whispers something, barely audible. "Damn it, I want to remember you."

He looks back at her with his mask on before slipping it off, sighing. "What's wrong?" Did she forget him? Heh, like that mattered. Probably healthy for her in the long run, the cynical part of his brain echoed.

Iscalis meets his gaze, eyes wavering a bit. "I can't remember anything past two weeks. It... just vanishes from my mind, like sunlight fading colors. And... I like you. I can talk with you and not... feel left out, like I'm missing a joke, or being used. I don't want to forget you." She walks towards him, trying to keep her eyes meeting his.

[Taigawa]

Host?
Ha.
This boy is not my host.
He is my plaything, a result of a hate contract.

"Ms. Engawa, are you alright?"

Her recovery was slow, and it took her a bit to regain her self-awareness. She didn't bother standing back up. "Physically...I guess; Mentally, no. This intruder has shown utter disreguard for my space and the rules I set for entry into it. This no name would sooner kill me and take it then politely request entry or allow me time to prepare. Therefor in the interest of staying alive, I'm going to leave this place to the intruder who so disrespectfully claimed it. Where I sleep and what I do after today obviously has no baring to him. I shall leave with nothing, save what I now wear as I did when I left Nara's environs for this place." And with that, the half feline demoness left what was once her room and sat in the hall.

[Kractero]

nd well...I can feel the unused power in those muscles I'm pinning down to the bed...can't you resist me?" she asked with a teasing grin.

Karl

"She begins to awaken!" Karl said happily as Marissa stirred beneath his touch, returning his hands to complete the massage. "If you don't make it fast, you'll be cooking your own breakfast...because I'm hungry and hate waiting."

"Maybe...I could reduce the amount of strength in those muscles and reverse it...but I won't."

"Fine..." She rolls over to her side as he finishes, looking up at him. "You know I can cook too..."

[Kractero]

He looks back at her with his mask on before slipping it off, sighing. "What's wrong?" Did she forget him? Heh, like that mattered. Probably healthy for her in the long run, the cynical part of his brain echoed.

Zalae looks away, feeling heat flush into his cheeks, a feeling that he hadn't felt in a while. "Then...I'll make these two weeks unforgettable," he said, before realizing the cheesiness and underlying tones of what he said. "I mean...never mind. And I could find away for you to retain more memories..."

[CoraSpia]

"So you'd like me to be weak and helpless?" Kadus teased in a soft tone. "While you with your strong body have your wicked way with me?" She put her head down on his. "I can't agree to that," she told him crossly.

"Thanks for the offer!" Karl said brightly. "What will it be for breakfast then? Ooooooh..." he said smiling, "Do I get breakfast in bed?"

Shadow went after her, stopping at the hall.

"Ms. Engawa, I cannot help to think that I hold partial guilt over what happened. This, and part of my training taught me that one should never leave a charming lady without a bed to sleep. I'm currently unpaired, so now it's my turn to invite you into my room. You can stay there as long as you like, Ms. Engawa."

[Sunken Island of Rhinomuraena]

And I could find away for you to retain more memories..."

Iscalis keeps walking towards him, unsure what exactly to say. "Just..." She trips, hitting her nose on the floor again. "Owwww." She curls up, covering her nose with her hand.

Zalae moves to help her up. Maybe it was her clumsiness that was making her have memory loss...no, that would be too easy.

Being a villain is never easy.

She looked up at him, tears beginning to stream down her face. "I accept your hospitality. While it is a shame that I am now forced to abandon everything I owned, I am alive. I never thought I would find a friend among Mankind. Should I ever become strong enough though..." At this, a voice echoed in her mind. You idiotic little girl, he can hear you. "I'll explain later, just get me out of here."

Lucas, who recently arrived at the school, turned down the hallway in which the feline demon sat crying on the floor. He was a wolf, a proud one at that, but he couldn't stand seeing another in pain. Cat or not, he approached her. "Excuse me, madam, but you seem to be distressed... Is there any way that I could be of service to you?" he asked. Damn it... I can't help unless I know the problem, and that was probably the worst first impression that I've ever made...

"My room...any bverything I own was just tawen from me by some no-name intruder with a god complex. He almost killed me...." She held her throat at this "...and he could kill you. I want either my things back or this intruder to leave my room. If nither can be achieved, this shadowy guy is prepared to help me. I have rules for where I choose to make my lair, and his unwarrented intrusion and utter disrespect for those deeply disturb me."

He gave a half smile as he turned to the room that contained the vile creature that she described. He was never one to back down from a fight. When she claimed that he would fail to hold his own against it, it only drove his desire for a challenge. "Don't worry madam," he replied, unsheathing his perfectly forged longsword, "I shall rid your home of this being. In time, my name will strike fear into the hearts of this world's armies. I will ensure that."

[Kractero]

"So you'd like me to be weak and helpless?" Kadus teased in a soft tone. "While you with your strong body have your wicked way with me?" She put her head down on his. "I can't agree to that," she told him crossly.

"You can't have everything you want," he reminded her. She never listened to him though. "We should get up...and do something."

"No." Marissa said, crossing her arms. "You woke me up. You can feed me."

[Taigawa]

"My room...any bverything I own was just tawen from me by some no-name intruder with a god complex. He almost killed me...." She held her throat at this "...and he could kill you.

I will ensure that."

She stood, her wings in a prone position against her back. "Strike hard and true, but I want his body as a trophy for what he did to me. I have a special thing I want to do with him." In her mind, she held her true intentions. If the intruder was killed, she planned to eat him as she had the girl nearly two weeks prior.

He chuckled softly and turned back to her. "A wolf does not easily surrender his prey, little one." he whispered. "Although I look the part, I am not of the pathetic race known as "humanity". I am of demon kind, much like you, but of a different breed."

[Galnius]

Katherine
Katherine squirmed and squealed, trying to inch away. "No!! It's not fair! I'm little and tiny, and you are...you're just...this isn't fair!" When she finally got up she bolted to the kitchen, hiding behind a wall corner peeking out. "That was mean. Do you know how ticklish I am? You coulda made me die!" She was, in fact, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry," Charon said, although he knew she was having fun, even if it was forced. "I'll stop."

"I was wondering if you were hungry."

Katherine

Katherine let out a sigh of relief. "Th-thank you." She said, making sure to catch her breathe. "Yeah...I...I guess I'm hungry", she said. Her stomach demonstrated a lot more than a "guess" in response. "Okay, I'm hungry." She said resignedly.

Tanya wasn't quite sure what he was rambling about. "Well, it is supposedly an academy for villains, right?" She asked. "And I can hardly do anything. Maybe they expect ME to watch after you. Or....they have cameras." She started looking about a bit paranoid. "Definitely cameras. Or maybe they are just strong enough to kill us if we try anything....if you can heal, imagine what they may be capable of..." She gave an involuntary shiver. "Perhaps the government wouldn't've been so bad...."

Millosm gave a thoughtful nod as he listened to Tanya. "I would rather you watch me than someone I haven't met, even if you were lying about not having any abilities.." He looked her over with his eyes and shrugged. "I doubt you are.. But then again, Iv'e never met a woman who was truthful to me." He then looked as if he were listening to someone speak. After a short while, he rolled his eyes and nodded. "I suppose I may have spooked her with my ranting.. Fine," he said very quietly, then looked to the girl with an awkward smile. "I can assure you that the government would be far worse.. They would-" He stopped himself, realizing that his next words probably wouldn't have comforted her. He then began to think of her situation very carefully. Eventually he spoke again. "If this place is full of villains and not a total lie, then a powerless girl such as yourself doesn't seem to be on fair ground with anyone who would try to pick on you.." Millosm began thinking about how he was once powerless against his father's beatings. He shook the unpleasant memory away and gave her a bit of a genuinely caring smile. "I will make sure no one lays a hand on you while we stay here. You will be safe, and I will have an excuse to beat someone until they are bloody and bruised!" He began to laugh as he said the last part, but he stifled it before he got carried away. "So if anyone bothers you, just scream my name and I will come running. Unless you would rather be beaten or killed, your choice. I'm fine with whatever."

Tanya
Tanya almost slapped him with the women comment, almost. However, he kind of freaked her out. She was mostly afraid that slapping him may be seen as a highly threatening gesture making him kill her. Tanya, as most people do, did not feel quite in the mood to die. However, she was shocked by his statement to protect her. "Hey, how can I trust YOU?" She asked aggressively. "I mean, what's to stop you from...from...sacrificing me for some weird ritual or something? I don't know you. For all I know you are a cult leader! You're weird enough."

Shadow went after her, stopping at the hall.

"I'll explain later, just get me out of here."

"Sure Ms. Engawa. If you want, I can take you to my room now. You will be more comfortable there, and you could get some rest as well."

The intrusion of another man in this matter disturbed Shadow. It was a complicated matter that he solved diplomatically, and now he was in the middle of a confusion that wasn't even caused by him. An uncommon thing.

"Ms. Engawa, if the other person who offered to help you don't come back, I will try to get your things back in a less combative way. During a not so long career I have acquired a specific set of skills that allow me to handle situations in more...diplomatic ways. Do you want to go now?"

[CoraSpia]

"Yess Miss," Karl said, bowing his head mockingly before exiting the bed and walking into the bathroom. "Do I have the pleasure of your company this fine showertime?" he asked.

"You can do it then if you wish," Kadus said in a submissive tone, putting her head down.

Iscalis keeps walking towards him, unsure what exactly to say. "Just..." She trips, hitting her nose on the floor again. "Owwww." She curls up, covering her nose with her hand.

Zalae moves to help her up. Maybe it was her clumsiness that was making her have memory loss...no, that would be too easy.

Being a villain is never easy.

Iscalis reaches out her hand to him, embarrassed and blushing. "Thank you..." She moves away from him a bit, then kneels on the ground. Her body shifts like fluid into a that of feathered snake with the upper body of a human. The effect is mildly nauseating. "I appologize, but... I can't fall down in this form. That makes it simpler for me to get around." Her head drops, and she whispers, "Even if it makes me look like a freakshow come to life."

[Arstotzkas]

Oliver slightly chuckles, saying "You don't seem that insane to me Zamiel. At least compared to some of the other people we have in this school .And, currently as far as I know no one is trying to resurrect an evil overlord. I'm sure that even if this Overlord did come to life, this school would blast him away in a heartbeat. Alright, question two. What's the dimension you come from like? Is it same or different from our dimension?"

"See some of the people you have around here, he'd have a sizable army if he got resurrected here. Remember he can have absolute control over all supernatural beings" he glanced over at Themis, "excluding gods, so the demons and everything would be his to control. As for what dimension I come from, it's basically this expect humans all band together to fight the Overlord and his supernatural army. Although now that he's dead there might be some organizations like this that might be trying to get off the ground."

Oliver smirks " Things have been pretty boring around here recently anyway. Sounds like it could be a fun challenge to be honest. I'm only jesting of course. Anyway, your dimension sounds pretty interesting, over here, I'm surprisied that you managed to defeat him given how powerful you said he was. Now, if you don't mind me asking, do you guys have an Academy too? Because I saw this kid who called himself Lightning Blur, who said he was from some place called Badass Academy."

A strong gust of wind suddenly blows by...

[Taigawa]

She stood, her wings in a prone position against her back. "Strike hard and true, but I want his body as a trophy for what he did to me. I have a special thing I want to do with him."

The demoness looked at him and barely audibly purred. "So I guess his body will be your blood price then. No matter, as long as my lair is returned to me, I accept those terms. There will be other oppertunities to aquire human prey."

She looked up at him, tears beginning to stream down her face. "I accept your hospitality. While it is a shame that I am now forced to abandon everything I owned, I am alive. I never thought I would find a friend among Mankind. Should I ever become strong enough though..." At this, a voice echoed in her mind. You idiotic little girl, he can hear you.

"Take me away then. I am sure the good summeritan will find me after the deed is done. However, should force of arm fail, do as you will. The no name does not deserve to claim things that are not his to own. He wants my lair, then he can brood in it alone and without things he didn't buy himself or bring with him."

"A lamia?" Zalae smiles reassuringly. "There's nothing wrong with that...I think being yourself is more important than being what others want you to be. I think it makes you look better." He looks down at his hands, feeling a bit embarrassed.

[Kractero]

"Yess Miss," Karl said, bowing his head mockingly before exiting the bed and walking into the bathroom. "Do I have the pleasure of your company this fine showertime?" he asked.

"You can do it then if you wish," Kadus said in a submissive tone, putting her head down.

"No...," she smiled playfully. "I've given you that liberty a bit too much lately. I want some privacy."

He pulled it back up, giving her a passionate kiss. "There doesn't need to be any domination or anything..."
