Academy of Heroes and Villains Rebooted (IC, OPEN)

[Republic of the Cristo]

Eric was in the gym watching all of this chaos and screaming unfold. What the hell did I walk into?

WIP

[Dilange]

Seras Victoria- Library with the Captain

Seras stood amazed at what the captain did and followed the book over to him. "That was amazing!" Her smile was cut off though by the fact the captain had just coughed up blood and fell. He caught himself but she was still on edge. Then she heard the sirens of the school going off. "Are you alright captain? Because we have an emergency, the school is under attack." She looked at him, but hearing the sirens and standing around was making her uneasy. She looked at the captain to make sure he was alright. Her left arm went from black to having an aura of red and purple around it and her red eyes flared up a little more. She was ready. She could feel her adrenaline pumping as she was getting ready for what lay ahead.

The captain whipped the blood off his face, seeing the blood on his hand. "Im fine....under attack? Isnt this a school?" He gripped the book as he got to his feet and looked at Seras. The aura and the flare up the eyes were noticeable to him, as her powers were becoming more apparent to him. "If its a battle, then I will be there. We should probably go and see where this emergency is."

[Patrick OConner]

Stephan looked at both of them and was thoroughly confused. "So basically you guys kind of want to help get rid of the shadow council since they are controlling us kids or you just want to blow stuff up and not get in trouble for it." He chuckled slightly and scratched his head as he did and eyed them both. He was worried about Tika. He had been gone and hoped she was still asleep in her room. He thought to himself, I will be back Tika... I promise. He sighed inwardly and waited for a response.

Nicholas sat twitching nervously in the cave. He couldn't hear the talking above, but he didn't hear gunfire, so that was a good sign. Cautiously, he went up the cliff on ice, and poked his head over the cliff's edge. He saw Stephen and the two teachers talking, and nobody was dead. Very good. Either we've made peace, or Stephen's betrayed me. We'll find out soon enough, I suppose.

Jesse looks at Stephan and shakes his head.
"Kid our pasts are complicated. We been through a lot, seen a lot and done a lot. We have worked for some pretty bad people and done some pretty bad things sometimes just in the name of a pay check. Most would call us morally bankrupt and they right to a certain degree..."
"But" Patrick interjects smiling, his teeth red with blood making his creepy smile even worse.
"We still do have principles" Jesse continues as he slings the weapon and sits on the ground with omph and a sigh "We keep our word. And do as we are told."
"Yeah" Patrick muses "But I do miss being a hero. Hell Jes, we are older than most in this business. And our clock is ticking down, fast. How about one last ride?" Patrick eyes mist over as he looks back to a time not so long ago.
"One last ride eh? For glory honor and a fitting death. A final shot at redemption?"
"Jes, we both know we are way past redemption. Just.... one more blaze of glory. And if we go down we go down hard and fighting." Patrick says with a bloody happy smile.
"Yeah. " Jes says smiling remembering the better times in the past, back when they were soldiers.
"Alright Kid I am in" Patrick says
"Me too" tosses in Jesse "I aint got much more live for. Gotta die somewhere sometime. I would like to pick the place and time."
"We both are in, kid. Now tell what his face to come out and we won't shoot him. Promise."

The Squad

The squad consisted of five people. James, Gemini, Rose, Max, and Jacob. All of them wore armor that would protect them from Nicholas's powers, at least for a short while. They all understood their chances of survival were low, it was practically a suicide mission. However, they had a few tricks up their sleeve that might be able to badly hurt and stop Nicholas for a while. The leader, Jacob peers out of their cover and spots Nicholas. Gesturing for the rest of the squad, he carefully takes something out of his pocket and throws it inside the cave. Then like a blur, the team quickly moves out of cover and begins rapidly firing their weapons at Nicholas, with the smoke bomb obstructing Nicholas's view for a little bit.

"SHIT CONTACT REAR" Shouts Patrick as he dives for cover followed by Jesse. Both of them take cover behind a near by rock and watch as the scene unfolds. Jesse ready his belt fed and Patrick unslings the sniper rifle.

Stephan- Student
Cliff side

Stephan heard gunfire and then heard Nicholas and sighed. "Nothing can be easy." Then a blizzard hit and Stephan was knocked off his feet. "I wonder what makes you say that they are bad!" He yelled back and looked at the blizzard at the school. He had to calm the blizzard down. Nicholas was gone, he had to take cover. Stephan scrambled up to his feet away from the gunfire ran to the school that was getting covered in snow. He Hid behind a tree, he calmed down and looked at the blizzard around the school. He stood and put both his hands out and tried to control the blizzard. He had to focus otherwise it would get worse. And it would help him find the people trying to kill Nicholas. He wanted to move the Blizzard over the edge of the cliff where nicholas was to cover him.

And then the blizzard kicks up obscuring everything from sight.
"Well shit" Patrick mumbles to himself as he switchs the scope over to IR mode and tries to peer through the blizzard.
"NO SHOT" He bellows to jesse over the wind " TO MUCH WIND AND OTHER STUFF"
"NO SHIT SHERLOCK" Jesse bellows back as he hunkers down againist the wind.
"This sucks. We never catch a break" Jesse mumbles to himself.

[CoraSpia]

Jonas

A voice close to Bounty's feet mumbled "I'm here."
A tiny spider expanded into the form of Jonas, frowning rather pensively, his arms down his sides. He didn't look impressed in the slightest.
"I was useless again," he stated, simply. "And yet again someone got abducted because of it. We need to find that guy...is their no one who can follow him?"

Bounty Hunt

Bounty looked around and sighed in relief as he finally found Jonas. The brown unicorn shook his head. "No you're not useless." he spoke with assurance, while wiping his nose again, "It's just that this foe is new to us. Speaking of which..."

Bounty looked around the room and growled. "If what you said was true about this kidnapping we need to find someone for help." he spoke seriously, "It would be a death sentence for us to go out in that blizzard on out own."

---

Meanwhile, Al was speaking to Pitch Black. He closed his eyes, floating in the air. "Eh? I wasn't banished, I just ran away after I saw Celestia. Gay rainbow ponies are enough, forget the sparkly ones... And please, keep the holy shit away. It doesn't feel so well, at all... like I just want to disappear."

Pitch Black

Pitch Black growled and scoffed. "Hmph. Just be glad they didn't capture you." he growled, "There are fates worse than my banishment. They could turn you to stone while keeping you conscious, have you banished to our moon or have you sent to the prison realm called Tartarus where beings like the Great Lord Tirek was sent to. Equestria doesn't have the death penalty, but they do have terrible sentences. I seek to return and take over the place in order to make some changes."

Pitch Black laughed. "Ha! And why should I stop with Equestria?" he asked with a cruel grin, "I can also return to this shit-hole of a planet and make changes here too. Earth and Equestria remade into worlds of chaos in my image."

The black unicorn crackled befor glaring at Allan. "So tell me, are there others like yourself and Oliver around here?" he asked softly with a crackle, "I could use some help from the rest of your friends. Can't take over worlds on my own can I?"

Jonas

"I failed to press my advantage when I had it." Jonas sounded utterly pissed off and ddefeated. "I have failed twice now against foes...what use am I if I can't even beat one man when others are assisting? I guess we probably should find..."

He stopped though when he heard the sirens. "Talking of useless," he growled. "Looks like we've another principal who wants us to gather in the gym. This sounding familiar to anyone else?"

[The Flutterlands]

The School

Alarm sirens go off as teachers and students scramble all over the place in panic. Oliver, who had just gotten up from a nap woke up to find a scene of complete panic inside the dorms,as alarms blare. Rubbing his eyes, he asks a nearby student what was happening. Apparently the students had to evacuate to the gym for safety purposes, the teacher didn't say much but whatever it was it was bad. Oliver guessed Victoria had activated the emergency protcool, as this seemed to be quite an urgent event. Oliver, still tired wanders outside into the cold to get to the gy,. Immediately after he steps outside, he's met with a blast of ice and snow, that nearly knocks him over. The blizzard was getting worse, and Oliver barely manages to stumble over to the gym without freezing to death. Inside the gym was a scene of chaos, and confusion, as students sit around waiting for someone to tell them what was going on.

Alucard Helsing- Teacher
Gym with some students

Alucard was already dressed and walking down the halls with Eliza when the school sirens went off. He sighed. "Here we go again with the sirens and the lights and the yelling and screaming... Come my dear." He picked her up, princess style, ran through the walls, Elizas body doing the same. In a few moments they arrived at the gym. He set her down on her feet and stood back up again. He raised his voice "EVERYONE I NEED YOUR ATTENTION!" His voice filled the gym and everyone ears to call their attention to him. "I need everyone to remain calm and listen carefully. We are under attack, I do not know from what. Be on your guard and stay together! The the teachers, including myself and the principle will be here to help. You all know how to welcome invaders." He chuckled thoughtfully at the end.

His voice echoed through everyone's ears, having no need for him to actually yell to the students. A vampire trait that most had and some didn't. He looked back at the other side of the school from the gym and sighed, he would have to wait here in the gym with some of the students.

---

Al looked uncomfortable for one moment, but his facade was quickly fixed, and reverted into the toothy-grinned person that all know. He glanced at the (drug) unicorn. Answer, or not to answer, that is the question...? Shaking his head, he rid himself of silly Shakesphearean thoughts. "Well, of course there are others... those are the 'friends,' after all... and of course they are in crystal. But it seems that they all have a host, and it is certain that Oliver isn't coming out soon... who is this Felicia?"

Meanwhile, Felicia sneezed, and snapped out of her daze. "Oh yes, yes I'm okay. Can I come too?" She got up and looked at Micah.

Pitch Black

Pitch Black scoffed and grinned before talking low. "Felicia is just a stupid girl." he spoke cruelly, "She has her uses though and that's good. As for your friend Oliver, I think that we can draw him out along with any other demon. Heck, I've got some good ideas for hosts And if not we can still find useses for them."

Pitch Black crackled before blinking upon hearing the alarms. "Hmph. Guess we got to go to the gym." he spoke with a chuckle, "Let's go see what's going on. No doubt it will be something fun."

Pitch Black crackled and he grabbed Al by the hand. His horn pulsed green before the pony and demon vanished in a bright green flash. They reappeared in the gymnasium and Pitch Black looked around before hearing Alucard's voice. "Ha!" he laughed, "Sounds like we're gonna be in a fight again. Great."

Jonas

"I failed to press my advantage when I had it." Jonas sounded utterly pissed off and ddefeated. "I have failed twice now against foes...what use am I if I can't even beat one man when others are assisting? I guess we probably should find..."

He stopped though when he heard the sirens. "Talking of useless," he growled. "Looks like we've another principal who wants us to gather in the gym. This sounding familiar to anyone else?"

Bounty Hunt

Bounty sighed and shook his head. "No." he spoke calmly, "It's not your fault. This intruder is strong and has more experience than us. He could have gotten you too."

Bounty Hunt blinked upon hearing the alarms and nodded. "You're right. Looks we're needed at the gymnasium." he spoke grimly, "Perhaps we could find help there. Hopefully this won't be like the fiasco two months ago. Let's get going now." Bounty Huny placed a hoof on Jonas and his horn pulsed blue before he and Jans vanished in a bright blue flash.

They arrived in the gym and began looking around before hearing Alucard's announcement. "Hmph. Looks like we're in for a fight. Come on let's get help from that teacher." scoffed the brown unicorn, before galloping towards Alucard, "Mister. Alucard! We had a fight with the intruder. We believe that he might

Filia est Umbra

Filia couldn't find Hatter or Makayla in the Villains dorm. She frowned deeply as she looked around her dorm, finding only the vacant frankenstein tea table and no one else. The young half-demon then squeaked upon hearing the sirens. "I-i guess I-i should h-head to t-the Gym." she spoke fearfully to herself, "O-oh God, I-i hope t-that Matthew a-and Makayla a-are alright."

The young thirteen year old melted into a shadow and moved quickly through the dorm, to the outside and into the gymnasium. Filia took on her form once more before looking around. The girl frowned deeply upon seeing that Hatter was nowhere to be found. She sniffled and looked around the hectic and bustling room, having little to no idea what exactly was going on. The cambion found a corner and sat down quietly with her head sulked in utter despair for her friends, much liketwo mmonths ago. "W-where could y-you be M-matthew and M-makayla?" Filia sobbed, "C-could... could t-that intruder g-gotten you? O-oh god I-i hope n-not... T-they just c-can't have b-been taken... O-or worse k-killed..."

Unyan Daimonia
Conqueror in Training

---

7:30 AM, December 23rd.

---

Jen grins and summons twin blades in her hands. In an instant, she becomes a whirlwind of slashes and fury, cutting through the wolves like cheese. When Unyan looked over to see how Jen was doing, she would notice that Jen was completely covered with wolf blood from head to toe. She didn't seem to mind though and her blades contained to sing in the darkness.

10 left. Gotta pick up the pace. she thinks to herself. Jen suddenly summons a massive boulder which lands on the wolves and instantly crushes them. Then she summons a machine gun current which manages to take out a few more before being torn apart. The snow was now stained red, and Jen was actively panting from the effort she exerted. At least the first horde was gone though...

Another one rose to replace it quickly though and Jen grimly smiles while replying to Unyan "Whew, what a workout am I right? Let's try to speed this up a tad, I'm getting pretty cold out here. If you have any sort of super amazing special move that could take them all out at once, that would be great. Otherwise, we'll have to do this the hard way."

Lifting her twin blades up from the ground, Jen braces herself for more battle.

"ooh," Unyan said, "I can probably think of something!" She pulled out her super fantastical wand of magic and fired a condensed beam of energy at Jen's large boulder. The boulder began to shake and rumble, a force of great and malevolent power began to crack throughout the boulder. Then, poof, a cloud of smoke appeared covering up the rock.

"I see you have called, my majesty," a spanish sounding voice rang out.

As the smoke dissipated, what could be seen was a more imposing teddy bear, as contradictory as it seemed. He was stroking his large beard, wearing an imposing cape with an over-reaching cowl. He had large stitches around his stomach, with some of the stitches having been torn open and had stained the cotton belly red, others made green by his rotting body acids. He also carried a necklace with a glowing green jewel around his neck. "How may I be of service to you," he said, stroking his quite well maintained and groomed mustache.

"Cinna!" Unyan remarked, "I thought you were stuck in an interdimensional prison!"

"I escaped," Cinna the mage cackled, "many people died; tragedy, quite a tragedy."

"Could you take care of all the wolves real quick?"

"With pleasure," he said while laughing maliciously. He pulled out an old tome of some malevolent magic nature. He began to speak of some old and forgotten language. Dark and foreboding elements began to surround the forest around them. A low hanging fog crept along the ground. He began to curse the area, and a swarm of insect flew from his sleeves. It was a flying plague. The swarm of insects engulfed the wolves and dissipated. The wolves had been eaten away, and there was not a thing left, not even the bone.

Unyan turned towards Jen, "Is that good? Shall we continue?"

"I have not met your friend, yet, my majesty," Cinna remarked, curling his mustache and moving closer to Jen. He cast a dark spell and summoned a bouquet of flowers. As soon as he got close, Unyan smacked him across the face with the broad side of her sword. "Jeez!" she pouted, "why do you always think you are some lavish romantic like Shakespeare!" She turned back to Jen, "sorry, Cinna has no real restraint about these things."

"Heh, I totally understand Unyan. It is rather charming in a sad sort of way. I mean, even I can be like that sometimes to be honest, especially with people I just met." Jen cooly states, leaning back against a large rock., She tears off a piece of her shirt to bandage her wounds, with visible scratches and claw marks on her face from the wolves attack.

Vanishing her swords into thin air she replies "I'm not much into flowers though, I always forget to water them and then they die. I appreciate the thought though. Oh... thanks for saving us dude. If you hadn't come to the rescue, things would have been a lot messier. I mean, we still probably would have won and all but still, messier for sure. My name's Jen by the way. Pleasure to meet you Cinna, even if it's under some odd circumstances. Anyway Unyan, care to explain why a teddy bear came out of nowhere and rescued us with some kind of crazy magic spell?"

[Frinalia]

Sanguify

2000 feet above the Academy, was a 747. And standing in the doorway, is Sanguify. He lept out of the plane with a back pack in his arm, leaving the plane to crash somewhere in the ocean. now at 1500 feet, Sanguify pulled open the backpack, which sent multiple books, papers, and a laptop flying into the sky. At that reveal, Sanguify merely grinned hystarically as he neared 1000 feet. He aimed himself at a forest. At 200 feet, Sanguify hit the first trees headfirst like a suicide bomber, tearing through the highest pines. Five minuets later, Sanguify landed on the ground on his feet, covered in scratches, cuts, gashes, and a dislocated arm. Still smiling maniacally, Sanguify did a handstand, popping the arm back into socket. Triggered by the sight of his own blood, he started sprinting through the snow, but soon stopped at the smell of different blood.

She tears off a piece of her shirt to bandage her wounds, with visible scratches and claw marks on her face from the wolves attack.

Sanguify draws closer, but still hides behind the cover of bushes. He sees two humans and... A teddy bear? With flowers?
*What?* Flickers of confusion play across Sanguify's face. After some thought, he decides to accept it instead of question it.

[Arstotzkas]

"It shouldn't be an issue Caliveros. I'm taking measures to end this before it gets worse." she replies, seeming much more calm now, and quickly typing something on her computer "While we were talking, I tracked his last known location and sent a division of the best soldiers we have there to take him out. Hopefully they succeed, if not we'll have to resort to Plan B. And I really don't want to have to do that, because it may put the students in danger. Still, sacrifices must be made for the greater good..."

The Squad

The squad consisted of five people. James, Gemini, Rose, Max, and Jacob. All of them wore armor that would protect them from Nicholas's powers, at least for a short while. They all understood their chances of survival were low, it was practically a suicide mission. However, they had a few tricks up their sleeve that might be able to badly hurt and stop Nicholas for a while. The leader, Jacob peers out of their cover and spots Nicholas. Gesturing for the rest of the squad, he carefully takes something out of his pocket and throws it inside the cave. Then like a blur, the team quickly moves out of cover and begins rapidly firing their weapons at Nicholas, with the smoke bomb obstructing Nicholas's view for a little bit.

The School

Alarm sirens go off as teachers and students scramble all over the place in panic. Oliver, who had just gotten up from a nap woke up to find a scene of complete panic inside the dorms,as alarms blare. Rubbing his eyes, he asks a nearby student what was happening. Apparently the students had to evacuate to the gym for safety purposes, the teacher didn't say much but whatever it was it was bad. Oliver guessed Victoria had activated the emergency protcool, as this seemed to be quite an urgent event. Oliver, still tired wanders outside into the cold to get to the gy,. Immediately after he steps outside, he's met with a blast of ice and snow, that nearly knocks him over. The blizzard was getting worse, and Oliver barely manages to stumble over to the gym without freezing to death. Inside the gym was a scene of chaos, and confusion, as students sit around waiting for someone to tell them what was going on.



A sweaty looking and harried looking guard races over to Eric on a motorcycle. When he spots Eric, he quickly brakes next to him and frantically says "You're the new kid right? You picked a bad time to join up, things are going nuts over here. Hop on, we need to get you to the safe place. It seems like we've got some trouble brewing on the island, and the Principal has initiated Protocol 10. In case you don't know what that means, that means we've got a superpowered threat here on this island right now."

The guard quickly revs the engine and speeds on out of the runway airway, with the snow falling as they ride across the island. When they arrive at the gym, the guard bids a quick farewell to Eric before dropping him off and racing away into the distance.

Nicholas swore as he saw the guards approach. Smoke clouded the area. "Stephen! These guys are trouble!" he shouted, before ducking down. He used ice to pick his way down the cliff back to the cave. Fortunately for him, the cave was on the side of the cliff, almost like this, on a much steeper cliff. This made it inaccessible to anybody without climbing equipment. He threw up spikes of ice behind him to deter anyone following him, and most of the ice blocks collapsed behind him, except for the one the twins were standing on. He was protected inside the cave.

Alucard Helsing- Teacher
Gym with some students

Alucard was already dressed and walking down the halls with Eliza when the school sirens went off. He sighed. "Here we go again with the sirens and the lights and the yelling and screaming... Come my dear." He picked her up, princess style, ran through the walls, Elizas body doing the same. In a few moments they arrived at the gym. He set her down on her feet and stood back up again. He raised his voice "EVERYONE I NEED YOUR ATTENTION!" His voice filled the gym and everyone ears to call their attention to him. "I need everyone to remain calm and listen carefully. We are under attack, I do not know from what. Be on your guard and stay together! The the teachers, including myself and the principle will be here to help. You all know how to welcome invaders." He chuckled thoughtfully at the end.

His voice echoed through everyone's ears, having no need for him to actually yell to the students. A vampire trait that most had and some didn't. He looked back at the other side of the school from the gym and sighed, he would have to wait here in the gym with some of the students.

Tika- Gym

Tika had already started to worry about stephan and when she looked back outside all she saw was white. She knew that Stephan couldn't be doing this. She heard the sirens of the school go off and she made a sound. She quickly got dressed and ran out the dorm and outside, basically getting knocked over by the storm and she saw the gym where most the students were going. She got back up and walked against the wind and snow. She was getting colder. She had stephans jacket on though and it was helping more than she thought it would. She entered the Gym, covered in snow and her hair almost frozen. She got there just in time to hear Mr. Alucard speak about being safe. She didn't feel safe at all. She was shaking from the cold and she didn't really know anyone in the school. She casually walked around, looking for a familiar face.

---

Stephan- Student
Cliff side

Stephan heard gunfire and then heard Nicholas and sighed. "Nothing can be easy." Then a blizzard hit and Stephan was knocked off his feet. "I wonder what makes you say that they are bad!" He yelled back and looked at the blizzard at the school. He had to calm the blizzard down. Nicholas was gone, he had to take cover. Stephan scrambled up to his feet away from the gunfire ran to the school that was getting covered in snow. He Hid behind a tree, he calmed down and looked at the blizzard around the school. He stood and put both his hands out and tried to control the blizzard. He had to focus otherwise it would get worse. And it would help him find the people trying to kill Nicholas. He wanted to move the Blizzard over the edge of the cliff where nicholas was to cover him.

Seras Victoria- Library with the Captain

Seras stood amazed at what the captain did and followed the book over to him. "That was amazing!" Her smile was cut off though by the fact the captain had just coughed up blood and fell. He caught himself but she was still on edge. Then she heard the sirens of the school going off. "Are you alright captain? Because we have an emergency, the school is under attack." She looked at him, but hearing the sirens and standing around was making her uneasy. She looked at the captain to make sure he was alright. Her left arm went from black to having an aura of red and purple around it and her red eyes flared up a little more. She was ready. She could feel her adrenaline pumping as she was getting ready for what lay ahead.

Zaphina Moore- Cafeteria

She sighed and then jumped up when she heard the sirens going off. "Johann... we are under attack. We have to get to the gym." She jumped off the table and started to run towards the gym, she would have to go outside, but outside was a blizzard. She did not like the cold. And the clod did not like her. She sighed, This school, why can't it be easier to get to one place or another, the gym has to be where you can only go outside to get to it...She went to run through a pair of doors, but couldn't as the snow had already halfway blocked the exit. She sighed, she was going to have a break down if she couldn't get where safety was. "Johann help me move this door!" She began to push the exit door herself, not really getting anywhere.

Grace, Savenna, and Gabriel

It was possible to move fast. It was possible to seem a blur to most, to move with deadly speed that would send fear and confusion into most opponents. It was hard, however, to move at the speed of Grace Kadus.
The cyborg spotted the soldiers far off, her enhanced vision locking onto them, her body still perfectly still, not wanting to give anything away. From their vantage point, they had a good view of Nicholas, and of the foes coming up to meet him: the strategy that Grace was likely to use was simple. Let Nicholas take most of the fire, which she was confident he would avoid. Let him avoid it, and let the soldiers run to try and find him. Then, obliterate the soldiers.
The moment that the chase began and Nicholas ran for the cave, Grace opened fire with bullets and great balls of energy in two sything motions, one from each arm which aimed to completely cut the soldiers to pieces.

Meanwhile, Savenna was also hard at work. One of her greatest abilities was her elusionary magic, and her ability to confuse...she used this to great acclaim now. She created the sound of footsteps behind the soldiers, and the voice of Nicholas in a panicked scream "I'm hit! I'm hit!" If the soldiers turned around, they would appear to see a bloody and bleeding Nicholas hiding for cover.

The soldiers were pretty well prepared people. But not well prepared enough. Nothing they could have done would have saved them from Nicholas and his allies. Thanks to the blizzard and the massive barrage of attacks, they are all quickly picked off one by one, until none remain. Eventually when the blizzard cleared. all that was left was a few corpses that hadn't been completely destroyed or thrown off the cliff. They're quickly covered with snow and fade out of sight. The Principal's mission had failed, it seemed. It was time for Plan B to go into action. As Nicholas and his allies start moving, they could vaguely hear the sound of sirens coming from the school, and the noise of turrets being set up on the roof. The school and Victoria were ready for anything Nicholas and his allies threw at them. At least, they hoped.

[WHYYYY II]

Nicholas heard the fighting stop, and climbed back up the cliff. "Thanks," he said to everyone, looking at the destruction. "Everyone, we've come here under... mixed circumstances, but we have one goal: To capture the school and damage the Council as a result. I don't want any students being harmed unless absolutely necessary. It's the teachers we're after." He turned to face the school, barely visible in the distance. "Let's go."

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Coilin McAengus

Somehow, even with the addition of a possible maniac trying to kill them all, this school managed to make everything seem boring. The work was easy, the physical training easy, the mental gymnastics easy, and now fighting for their lives was easy as well.

This 'snow-man' chap hadn't even thrown anything threatening at them yet. He popped up, threw a few icicles, and then disappeared into the blizzard outside. Utterly uninspired, and to be completely honest, Coilin, the villain master mind in training, was unimpressed so far.

If this was what the previous generation had to offer, no wonder the villains and heroes fought to a stalemate. None them knew how to fight...

The telepath tapped the arm rest of his chair thoughtfully, bored out of his mind and somewhat wishing Unyan was there, if only so she could entertain him.

Sani 'Ghost' Nabahe

Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to fighting. Patience gives you the ability to think during a battle, to see through your enemies plans, and to properly plan your own. When it comes down to it, patience is more important than tactical, strategic, or logistical genius.

Sani's near infinite patience was running thin though.

He tapped his foot and looked around the auditorium, shaking his head in near disgust. Nothing was happening. Nothing was being planned. No intel was being given out, no teams organized. The students were just sitting here... doing nothing other than being sitting ducks. And it was ticking Sani off.

Rhys Penn

What is gravity? It's one of the laws of the universe. What goes up must come down, but in this universe, that law is so easily broken. Planes take off, hot air balloons lift off, helicopters defy the basic perception of ancient physicists... people fly by themselves, with no other force than magic or ability.

Pens randomly float through the air, the only force acting upon them being that of the will of Mr. Penn.

That's a very interesting thought. What happens to the psyche, to the mind, of a man who can break one of science's main laws with only his will? While the question is interesting, the answer is quite simple.

He becomes a megalomaniac. A person obsessed with himself, with his ego, and what he can accomplish. An individual so focused inwards that narcissism to no longer applicable, and a new word must be added. A being whose only interest in the outside world is to influence it, because they view it as their playground. A monster whose only goal is, not only to write their name in the annals of history, but to take a great, big hammer and the sharpest chisel and engrave their name and actions on cover of the history book.

Caesar was a megalomaniac.

Muhammad the Prophet was a megalomaniac.

Charlemagne was a megalomaniac.

Genghis Khan Temujin was a megalomaniac.

Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, Akihito, the Kim dynasty.

The first Popes.

Maybe even Jesus himself.

... But Rhys Penn, in his small classroom at the Academy, did not seem to be a megalomaniac. If anyone watched him, and indeed many had, they would simply see a teacher. An inspired teacher, to be sure, who surely loved his students, but... he was not obsessed with himself. He did not play little games with his students. He didn't forsake their grades if they didn't follow his every word.

For all intents and purposes, Rhys Penn, unknown villain from Britain, was a normal person with abnormal powers.

... Or was he?

All people put up a facade to deal with society. All people never show their true selves. No one over truly knows oneself or another. Some facades are thicker than others. Some completely impenetrable.

For all intents and purposes, Rhys Penn, the villainous teacher, was a mystery.

And he sat there, in his desk, in his room, in the Academy, and flipped the pen end over end slowly and quickly, alternating, and let the question of his psyche stew.

For none could penetrate his facade. It was not skin deep. It not even bone deep. The facade of a telepath was spiritual, something they could fool even themselves into believing if needed.

The soldiers were pretty well prepared people. But not well prepared enough. Nothing they could have done would have saved them from Nicholas and his allies. Thanks to the blizzard and the massive barrage of attacks, they are all quickly picked off one by one, until none remain. Eventually when the blizzard cleared. all that was left was a few corpses that hadn't been completely destroyed or thrown off the cliff. They're quickly covered with snow and fade out of sight. The Principal's mission had failed, it seemed. It was time for Plan B to go into action. As Nicholas and his allies start moving, they could vaguely hear the sound of sirens coming from the school, and the noise of turrets being set up on the roof. The school and Victoria were ready for anything Nicholas and his allies threw at them. At least, they hoped.

Nicholas heard the fighting stop, and climbed back up the cliff. "Thanks," he said to everyone, looking at the destruction. "Everyone, we've come here under... mixed circumstances, but we have one goal: To capture the school and damage the Council as a result. I don't want any students being harmed unless absolutely necessary. It's the teachers we're after." He turned to face the school, barely visible in the distance. "Let's go."

With the blizzard cleared, Patrick and Jesse come out from behind cover. Both of them take a second to shake snow and ice off of themselves.
"Fuck these Aratic conditions." Jesse stammers through chattering teeth.
"It aint so bad." Replies Patrick.
"Says you. And you are one the one that keeps the room a meatlocker."
The two of them jog over to the rest.
"You lot need to leave now. The campus is already or will soon be on high alert and then everyone comes down on you like ton of rocks. At that point you are all dead. I can provide you with method of escape but you have to come now."

[WHYYYY II]

"No," Nicholas said. "I'm not leaving. It's up to the rest of you, but I have nothing to go back to. I'm in this until I succeed or die." He turned back to the school and began walking.

Both Patrick and Jesse slap there palms against there foreheads.
"Oh my god" Moans Jesse loudly.
"I know." replies Patrick looking exapserated.
"Another fanatic or maybe a guy with death wish. I hate those kinds of people." Moans Jesse again.
Both of them jog past Nicholas and cut off his approach to the school. Patrick steps up and leans in very close to Nicholas.
"Look here Nicky" Patrick says looking fairly peeved "You clearly got something. And that something is a mission. You want to take down the Shaodaw council starting with this school. Aight? You. Can. Not. Do. That. If. You. Are. Dead." Patrick emphasis every last word by stabbing Nicholas in the chest with a finger.
"You die it is all over. Game over. Mission failed. Everything you did pointless. And that is what you are about to do. Charge in there no plan no intel no prep work. You are going to to die. Mission failed. This place is on high alert and soon everyone is going to be coming for you. Your best bet is to leave now. And plan. We can feed you intel you need. But you charge in there now you die. I aint helping you either. I do not work with stupid. Stupid gets you killed. And right now you are being stupid. You wanna die, fine. But right now that means you failed the mission and the Shadow Council goes on its marry way. So how about it? What you charge in there die in a blaze of glory and fail the mission? Or listen to me run and comeback ready to actaully win?"

Sanguify

Sanguify soon gave up hiding behind the bushes, he could find blood elsewhere. He ran around a little, before finding come rooms. At the top said: Auditorium. Sanguify checked around him, and walked to the windows. He glanced inside, and saw it was filled with students. Sanguify quickly ducked back before he was seen. He approached the door again, still checking around him, and darted inside, quickly rushing to a corner to blend in.

Micah

Micah ran into the auditorium panting. He whirled around remembering he had left most of his stuff in his room, but at least he had something. Micah ran to a table, opened to a blank page, and started scribbling furiously. In under a minute, Micah's fastest time, he had drew a sketch of the winter manipulator with two men behind him. Still panting, Micah turned to another page and waited for something to happen.

[WHYYYY II]

"No," Nicholas said. "I'm not leaving. It's up to the rest of you, but I have nothing to go back to. I'm in this until I succeed or die." He turned back to the school and began walking.

"There won't be a better opportunity," Nicholas replied. "The power is out. Communications are out. The dock is destroyed. Guards are scrambled and can't find their way through the storm. I heard the announcement, all the students have been moved to one spot. Teachers will be there too. It's the perfect chance. If I leave now, coming back will be impossible. It's my duty to do all I can now. You can leave. I don't care. But I'm staying. I most likely will die, but that's fine. I've got nothing else to do."

"GAHH" Patrick yells "Did you get the back generators? The back up communications systems? You totally missed the the runway and airport. We can get you back in anytime cause none knows about me and Jesse helping you. The gaurds are getthing there shit together rapidly, i know itrained them, and they are gonna be breaking out the specail waepons for you now. All the teachers in one spot means they all will dog pile your frosty ass. Dead. D-E-A-D mother fucker. Give us time we can get you complete maps of the place. Complete files on the teachers and students. not to metion sabotage them from the inside and collect more intel."
"Yep" says Jesse "See this is why we hate working with amateurs."
"Damn straight." replies Patrick "Maybe the other side has better people. We could always work with them."
"Or go back to the Guild." Jesse adds
"Whatever, we will figure it out later And as for you" Patrick steps to the side "Go right ahead if you want Nicky and ignore the words of a professional who has 30 plus years doing this on both sides. But I won't help you."

[WHYYYY II]

The storm came.
Nicholas and his companions attacked the main complex of the Academy. The fighting was staggering. Though Nicholas tried to avoid students, many were caught in the fray. Some were killed by his and Stephen's attacks, others driven mad the Kadus's psychic abilities. The teachers and guards fought back valiantly, and the two sides battled to a bitter stalemate. But Nicholas did not give up. Teacher after teacher after guards after guard were killed, and still he pressed on. Eventually, the combined forces of all the students and teachers drove him back, forcing him to retreat. But the cost was deadly. The Academy was rubble. Many were killed or maimed. Worst of all, the fighting had destabilized the school's nuclear reactors underground, and the whole facility was in danger of meltdown.

The Shadow Council rushed in to help. After a night of bitter fighting, black helicopters arrived at dawn, rescuing who they could, and euthanizing those they couldn't. Some students, like Zayne Riddle, were relocated to other facilities, like the Compound or ISE. Some, older students considered educated enough, were released back into the real world. A few, like the Kadus twins, were never seen again. Teachers and other staff were moved to other Council jobs, or retired outright. Still others were left to rot on the now-radioactive, ruined school. The Council found no sign of Nicholas, and concluded he was killed in the fighting. With that, the black helicopters left, not to return to the compromised facility ever again.
