"Oh..." Mikkish said, waving his hands in a surrendering pose, in response to Hikaru's claims of being a badass "Watch out guys, we're dealing with a badass over here."

When the group got to the sidewalk between the park and the city, a bus pulled up. The captain had called for it.

Mikkish set his bag in a compartment on the side of the bus for anyone to put their bag. This included his book. He didn't like to be without it, and he hesitated when putting his bag away in the compartment. He couldn't shake the immense fear that it could be stolen.

Mikkish walked on and sat in the back, slumping in the seat.

"Uh...no animals on board..." The bus driver awkwardly said, seeing David with his frozen tiger friend.

Leon chuckled inwardly at Hikaru and Mikky, when the bus came up Leon boarded and took a seat. he didn't have a bag to put in the compartment.
he yawned, still tired after only a short rest on the boat, and leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes.

Fin stood and walked over to the bus that had arrived. She watched the others put their belongings on the compartment, but she didn't want hers out of her sight. It had her modified sniper hidden in the bottom in pieces and her book inside wrapped in a thin cloth. She very cautiously slipped it into the compartment after she was sir everyone else had theirs and was on the bus. She found an empty seat and tucked her knees up to her chest. She rested the side of her face on the top of her bent knees as she stared out the bus window, wondering how long of a bus ride it would be to the campus.

I filed away the other boy's name and just kept quiet while they talked. When the bus arrived, I slipped my suitcase into the compartment on the side and went up with my archery bag, fearing that it might get crushed by someone else's luggage. I got on the bus and sat down in an empty seat and stared outside of the window, propping my case on the ground and in between my left leg and the wall of the bus.

Unlike the rest, Hikaru just careless threw her bags in the compartment.

"Aaaah! Is refreshing, they were heaaaaavy!" exclaimed to herself.

As soon as she found a seat it took her just a minute to fell asleep, her last thoughts before that were.

Hey... I had my game console in that bag....

- i get up and say to self-"where is everyody"-then i walk off into the jungle with my spear-

The bus wheels sped off to the campus once everyone had been seated.

They were taken through the city. It was actually a mini tour, through the area they started in, through the city square, through the waterfront neighborhood. They had to go through a lower class neighborhood to make it through to the school, when Mikkish noticed a little slimey black tail peaking out of his sleeve on his arm.

"Shit!" He yelled, realizing... That leeches had got on his arm.

In fact, everyone from the boat had leeches covering them under their clothes.

Remliel been in town for a few days now. Her family had sent her here early, to get her to adequately prepare for her prolonged stay. Just today she had finished buying all the neccessary thing she'd be needing, mostly clothes. According to the Academy, there would be a bus to pick the students up today.

"Is that it?" Remliel approached the bus and quckly confirmed with driver that it was the right one. With a cheeky grin, the short girl entered the bus, and took a seat close to the back. She set her bags down but kept her weights diassembled and on her lap. She took a look around and saw people entering. No one had noticed her yet.

'What the hell is that a tiger?!'

-i soon find myself in a town and see the bus-"hey wait up"-i run after it-

I finally noticed that something slimy was on my skin and noticed the leeches when I looked down. I began to slowly pull them off and set them down on the ground away from me, not wanting to harm them. Once I was finished, I used a little bit of healing magic to stem the bleeding of multiple leech bites.

Waking up from feeling something slimy on him, Leon looked to find leeches all over him "oh dear" he said, he formed small claws of ice on the ends of his fingers which he used to get the leeches off of him, when he got them off(he kept a few for alchemical purposes) he formed a mortar and pestle of ice again and started making a salve to heal the leech bites.

Hikaru was asleep.
A very deep dream
Her body felt the threat yet her consciousness not.
Thus, all she did was to shake a bit and change her position.

"no..... i don't like... pizza.... is all scratchy..."

Finey awoke in a haze, feeling something all over her. She pulled up her shirt to reveal her abdomen and uncovered the unpleasant sight of leeches. She pulled them off one by one and in a small blaze flaming in her hand she burnt each on into ashes and let the ashes blow from the palm of her hand out the bus window. She hated the sorry little blood-suckers and had no use for them. A small healing sell and she had the tiny wounds closed, but the slimy feeling stayed on her skin, making her want a flaming hot shower.

-i keep chasing the bus i never got tired until i got far enough to jump and hang on to the bus-

“Oh woah!” David said happily skipping down the aisle. “A bus, I love buses!” He shouted. “I used to ride them all the time ……till I got banned from them.”

David was slowly making his way to the back of the vehicle but his legs were forced to a halt. His large eyes began to shine once they set upon the beautiful angel who was not but two feet away from him.

“Hey pretty lady.” David said approaching Fin. “What kinda manure was used to grow you because you are a total flower.”

Her eyes stayed stuck out the window, until she ears a familiar male voice. He couldn't decide if it was talking to her or not, but as soon as she caught to male form in the corner of her eye she knew he was talking to her. She slowly tuned her head to face him, er ocean blue eyes tracing his facial features- she thought they were that of a younger boy's.

She smoked slightly at his different approach to a pick-up line and crossed her arms ontop of her bent knees then laid her chin on her forarm softly. "David, I believe it is, right?" She said with he thick northern accent. She figured he was harmless enough, minus the random sprang about virgins and werewolves back at the boat. That made her cringe a little. "I'm Fin."

"Fin......Fiiiiiin." David titled his head at her like a confused baby. "I don't see any."

Fin raised an eyebrow at him- he was an interesting character to say the least.

"Fin is my name- it is short for Finley. I don't have fins, if that's what you are looking for," she said gently to him. For some reason she wanted to be nice to him. He was sweet after all, calling her pretty an go in her a weird complement- so she would treat him nicely.

“Now that’s a real interesting name, much more interesting then Hickeru and Joe.” He snorted. “And yep I’m David.” He went through the motions introducing the frozen tiger as Mister Stripes and of course the katana around his waist.

“Yeah Junior is my sword he’s all swish swish stab.”

David crashed down on the seat beside her. "Anyway the ladies back home think I'm totally cool, they are always like David why are you with the cow when you can get the milk for free."

He turned to his sword.

"No, no....I'm pretty sure that's the line that people say to get dates." David said to his sword, he was silent for a moment before turning back to Fin. "Junior thinks I mixed up my pick up line."

Fin listened to him then softly let a giggle from her pink lips. Something about the naive boy made her like listening to him speak. When he seemed to talk to his sword she raised an eyebrow- did he really think it talked back? She stopped herself- maybe it did I mean we are in a bus wit a frozen tiger David named Mr. Stripes. She laughed softly at the weird situation she was in.

She looked back up to meet his gaze as he said what his sword had told him. She nodded silently, "I think Junior is right," she said wiih a small smirk pulling at the corner of her lips.

“Aw.” He frowned. “Darn….wonder if that’s why the ladies back home used to throw rocks at me.” David yawned. “So much for all our plans together, I thought we were gonna do that things that parents do…..what is it? Marriage it’s a type of cake.”

David shook his head. "Sooooo you excited for camp?"

Fin smirked aoftly as she listened to him speak. He was the cutest thing she'd we seen- in a strange confused child type of way. She noticed his frown and yawn, but raised an eyebrow as it was completely erased with excitement. "Camp?" She said, a little confused as to what he meant, "You mean the school? Yeah, I'm excited to learn more about these powers I posses," she said softly and leaned back against the seat slowly.

David smiled "Oh yeah right the powers and stuff." He was silent. "Wait what powers, people here have powers?"

Fin turned to face him in her seat, her knees now bunched in between them. She nodded her head, "Gifts, powers.." She shrugged and held out her palm. She focused an a single little blue flame lot from the middle of her pale hand. "We're all gifted. In many different ways. We're traveling here to learn how to master them." She focused and the flame curled into a circling ball of yellow and orange fire before she closed her hand around it and the fire died.

David’s eyes widened at the beautiful flames she made, he liked moving things like fire or TV….he really liked TV more because it didn’t hurt as much as fire did but fire was still cool!

"Aw man that's really awesome!" He held out his hand attempting to mimic her.

Fin giggled softly watching him trying to mimic her. "What's your gift or gifts?" She asked gently as she laid her chin back on her bent knees once again. She yawned softly and smirked, she was very tired.

"I don't know." David said simply. "I'm good at picking up stuff.....and breaking stuff, ya wanna see?" He asked eagerly

Finley laughed softly, "No, no. Let's not break things." She said softly as she sat still facing him with her knees bent and pulled up against her chest. "Who told you this was camp?" She asked in curiosity about his situation. Surely he wouldn't be able to take care of himself back in the real world. He had to have someone to assist him, surely, we thought quietly to herself.

But her question went unanswered and the only thing David responded was snores.

Finley looked back out the window and turned ball to face the back of he seat in front of her before her own sleep overtook her body.

"Ahh!" Mikkish yelled, spazzing out and trying to smack the leeches off himself. He really hated bugs. As far back as he could remember....which was as far back as 13, he always hated the little bastards and their little legs...or their slime, in this case.

The bus driver knew what was going on, but did nothing until Mikkish tried to fry off the leeches and set a seat on fire instead. With a reluctant sigh, the bus driver pulled over to the side, concentrated on the burning bus seat, and then instantly the fire dissipated.

The driver then resumed on his route, not saying anything about to the students about not setting the seats on fire, because he really didn't care. He hated his job.

As soon as the bus pulled up to the school, he stopped but said nothing, just opened the doors.

The academy outside looked massive from where the bus let off. 3 stories high, and that is just for one of the class buildings. It was sitting on a green, mowed lawn, with stairs leading up to it just like you might see in the movies. The lawn was decorated with trees and flowerbeds, and on each side of the entrance doors were Roman pillars. Students were hanging out, conversing, studying, and some were even smoking pot. There wasn't much stigma against it here, obviously.

I got out of my seat and walked to the front of the bus, I turned to the bus driver, smiled, and bowed politely. "Thank you very much, have a nice day, sir." I said. I then turned and walked off of the bus and retrieved my luggage from the side. I looked on the building, unable to suppress a grin. I couldn't believe that I got into a place like this. Because of something that I had not understood, and even disliked. I walked up to the main entrance of the building, barely able to contain my excitement.

Leon noticed that the bus had arrived at the academy, he gathered his things and got up and headed to the front of the bus, as he was exiting he was looking at the academy and tripped down the bus stairs.

Mikkish grabbed his bag, and looked to make sure the book was still there. When seeing it was where he left it, he smirked, but couldn't help but wonder what made him worry so much about the book in the first place.

He then started on his way to the school building, but as he approached, a pretty blonde girl came flying backwards at him, knocking him to the side.

"Ok, asshole!" The girl yelled, storming at the girl who pushed her.

Then, as the two girls looked about to have a cat fight, their shapes...rapidly changed. For a second they seemed to scrunch up, then wings burst out of their backs as they flew upwards, their shapes changed to reptilian creatures, almost like dragons.
