[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

"I think it is you who is weak!" Kalinda manged to keep her voice down, sranding to her full height, she put her hands on her hips, probably seeming like a child, but kept her from using her telekinesis, "as far as I can see, you need Zack to survive, for you are heartless! You destroy either of them, and you will deal with me, because there is no way I am losing another friend today, or anyday, without putting up a fight!"

Sue

Sue had wandered off far enough from the formation, her mind away from the game now, and into the deep forest in search for the origin of the sound.

Sue could hear shots being fired behind her as she marched forward. By now many of her classmates were out. Perhaps the enemy team, or perhaps her own, regardless of that she wasn’t there and she was going to bear repercussions for this. She was being selfish, and her pace had slowed to a halt. Should she turn back and actually participate in the game? Should she try to go back and make amends by trying to win them the game? She turned around, and with grief and guilt hitting her hard in the chest, walked forward, and still looking up in the lightest hope that her divergence would at least be the least fruitful.

Then there she was.

Sue started jumping up and down, flailing her arms around at Phoebe atop the tree branches. Her face was heating up, her cheeks red hot, her eyes swelling and pouring tears, her breathing erratic and anxious.

She used her paintball gun and fired a shot, just close enough to catch her attention. The paintball hit just a few feet above Phoebe’s head. That should do it.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe whipped her head up as the paintball splatter the tree, some droplets falling in her hair. Well, it matched the paint on her shoulder now. She looked around for the source.

she should have know it would have been Sue that found her. Should have known that she would be there. Her heart ached as she saw her crying, and Phoebe swung down from the tree, and without hesitating, ran to her, stopping just barely, then hugging her.

She pulled away after moment, her eyes prickljng with tears, she sighed, "im sorry

[Dioxide]

Sue

”How are you? I miss you. We all do.” Sue was trying her best to not be selfish and restrain her want to hit Phoebe at the side of her head so hard, but even she just really missed her and wanted to tell her everything that has happened.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe glanced away, then sighed, and looked back, "I am okay. I miss you too. Did you get my present, from my room? How are you?" She tried to sign fast, conscious of the fact that someone could come, but hoping it wasnt too soon. "How is kafherin? And..." she trailed off, bit her lip, "and everyone one else? Whats been happening?"

she craved the information desperately. The only thing she regretted zbout leaving, was leaving her friends friends behind

[Dioxide]

Sue

”I don’t remember there being a gift.. I don’t even know if I can enter your room anymore. Katherin and Kijani are fine.. I’m sort of with Anthony now…”

She paused briefly, before returning: ”I can’t stay for long. They will know I am gone and… please come back…”

KatherinWinter said
"Zack is weak." Arnald stated as he opened his eyes. They now so dark they were almost black. He looked at the girls around him. One appeared to be a solider of some sort. Arnald approved of her immediately.the other girl seem an emotional mess. Arnald had no time for those who were weak.

Estella scowled slightly. "So you would dispose of him because he is weak? What does that say about you? Are you so afraid of a child?" She'd crossed her arm and waited for an answer.

---

Maxine chuckled softly. "Of course. My name is Maxine Baker. It's nice to meet you Kathrin."

"I fear nothing." Arnald scolded at the girls. He did not know why Zack was do important to them. Still there must be some reason. He took a deep breath and concidered the boys again. Griffin had Zack back into a corner with the larger boy in front of the small. "Griffin and Zack have failed. Failure is not on option"

---

Katherin smiled. "What did you think of the paintball game?"

[twave]

"How have they failed? Explain." Taking a brief look around she made sure they weren't going to be attacked while they dealt with this new personality.

---

Gently rubbing the spots where she got shot Maxine shrugged slightly. "It was fun. The paintballs hurt though."

[KatherinWinter]

"You are a solider. You understand." The Austrailian voice replied. Griffin was tired of this stand off. He and Zack could not stand in the corner cowarding forever. There was something wrong with this new personality. Griffin tacked the new personality. While the two wrestled Zack took control of the body. If Estella and Kalinda were paying attention the would see the eyes change back to their usual light brown shade and the muscle tone disabate. "Something has made this new personality extremely aggressive. It might be the way he was pulled forward. He wasn't created the normal way. Did something usual happen at the beginning of the game?"

---

"Sorry. I'm glad I didn't get into it. I couldn't figure out the gun. Atleast Mimic decided to do something beside kick our buts." Katherin states.

As Anthony walks out of the forest, he comes across Estella, Kalinda, and Griffin. He feels the tension in the air and his eyes turn violet as he asks, "Is there a problem?"

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin suddenly dropped down from a tree beside the group, from where he walked over. "Something strange did happen, I could have sworn it. The air smelled... Differently, I couldn't explain it so I ignored it." He turned and focused on Anthony's eyes then said," and there is a tiny scent of something else in the air. And both times, I believe that your eyes were a different color..." His voice and body remained calm still," what was your power again, Anthony?" He then said, looking back at everyone else," oh, and I can help get griffin and Zack to the school, I should be able to carry him if needed."

[knight125]

Anthony watches Austin warily and asks, "What in the world are you blathering on about? I don't have any powers."

Ben sees Austin suddenly drop down, and grins. He leaps from his hiding place, landing on Austin's shoulders, and bringing him to the ground. While Austin is down, Ben quickly shoots him in the back three times, then disappears as quickly as he appeared. To those watching, it would have looked like a flying bush had attacked Austin.

Anthony waits for Austin to get up, not making a move to help.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin lost his grip in the new personality as the strange sensation returned. It seemed to be calling Arnald. Zack looked at Anthony. "Whatever your doing. Please keep doing it. It's helping. Arnald is not as aggressive."

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin shook his head slightly," then why do your eyes change color? A person without powers can't change their eye color." He folded his arms loosely, watching Anthony carefully, rubbing his nose slightly then folding his arms loosely again. Austin suddenly felt a weight on his back and was forced to the ground, feeling three sharp pains in his back and grunted slightly. In any other circumstances, he would have been pissed, but due to Anthony, wasn't. He pushed himself up again, huffing shaking his head slightly.

[knight125]

Anthony looks around at the little group, a rare expression of confusion apparent on his face, and asks, "What are you people talking about? My eyes don't change color, they're brown and always have been. I'm just human! I'm not a mutant, alien, or metahuman."

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin sighed," one moment." Opening the pocket on his shorts, having picked these for the way the pockets zip up, he pulled out his phone. He quickly went to the camera on it and walked up to Anthony, holding the phone screen out to him, the camera switched to the screen side of the phone so he can see his eyes.

[KatherinWinter]

"You are pulling on griffin's emotions. Emotions we did not know he had." Zack replied. " you have pulled forward a new personality. The way the new personality was pulled forward is not normal."

[knight125]

Anthony looks at Austin's phone, a frown growing on his face. "Well then," he mutters. He walks away, asking himself mentally, "Is this why I can get people to do as I want? And what do my eyes changing color have to do with Griffin's problems? What exactly are my powers, and why haven't I noticed them yet?"

[Klyix]

She had quickly grown bored of the supposed game and as she felt absolutely no need to prove anything to Mimic decided to shot herself. Easier said than done, as it turned out and she had to resort to shooting her legs as she certainly wasn't going to shoot her head. Released from the game she calmly made her way out of the forest, ignoring all sounds around her and walked over to the small crowd. Something was happening, even if the atmosphere suggested otherwise, and Anthony's normally flawless facade was dented. She quietly stood off to the side and watched the events unfold, quickly building up an image of what was unfurling.
