[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor, having put his suit on once outside, did feel a mild fear. He looked about, seeing the fog. heard the scream. He followed it, seeing the foursome. It looked like Kalinda was out of it. Anthony then, and his pheromones. Something had happened.

Feeling that the game had taken a turn for the worse. How far would this fog reach? How did it affect? Could he get them all inside, and use the airconditionr as a buffer? Like a big ventilation system? He didn't know, wished he had had time to think how his suit helped him resist Anthony's power.

Could he remove Kalinda and Anthony out the way, away from each other? Would that help? He didn't know. Couldn't know how far it would reach. Would it stop, if Anthony was out of action?

Feeling he should do something, he stepped towards them, picking Kalinda up. He could move her as far away as he could, and see if that helped. All thoughts of teams had were gone, aafety was his first order of business.

He went as far as he could in a matter of minutes, setting Kalinda down by a tree, hoping she would be okay, before returning. Now then. How to deal with Anthony. He made his way back.

With her classmates dropping like flies around Anthony, Estella approached the fog. So far she hadn't been effected by any of Anthony's pheromones, but she hadn't had to deal with this concentration. She saw Connor fly off with Kalinda. So that was one less to worry around. Before anything else she should probably get the cloud away from everyone. Since they were outside that shouldn't be too hard. Pushing the air up above Anthony it acted like a vacuum and sucked the fog up away from the others. She was beginning to see a pattern in this. Anthony stood in the center still releasing more pheromones.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin saw the fog. He didn't know what caused it, but it made him feel uneasy. Using the flying ability he flew above the fog. He studied the scene below. What had Kalinda done to Anthony? He was sure that whatever it was it hadn't been on purpose. But it had been something major. Seeing Estella working on containing the fog. Griffin swooped down towards her. Maybe he could grab her while she was distracted.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor angled towards Griffin, "I think we have to stop what ever is happening, before we continue with the game" he said

Phoebe watched with wide eyes what was happening. How was this being done? fog that caused fear? She tried to stay away from it, and then Estella blew it away, and she could see Anthony in the middle. She seeing Katherin, Phoebe went to go to her, then hesitated. Finally, she sent vines to wrap gently around her friend and pull her away from Anthony, away from what was happening, the same for Austin. Then she ran over to Katherin, kneeling down to see if she was okay.

[twave]

Estella saw Griffin too late and he was able to grab her. Losing her concentration the wind sent the pheromones everywhere. "What are you doing?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Capturing you." Griffin replied logically as he took off. He figured she was less likely to escape if they were in the air. Griffin turned his attention to Conner realizing that the boy was talking to him. "That is logical, but I can not return her to the ground without being affected."

[twave]

Looking down Estella saw the ground getting further away. "Drop me."

[MarshiestMallow]

"Whereas I can" Connor said, then frowned, "Don't drop her"

[KatherinWinter]

"I am not dropping a friend." Griffin scolded Estella. He flew close to Conner. He carefully transferred Estella to the other boy. "You return her since you can do so safely."

[knight125]

As Kalinda touched him, Anthony felt a new sensation. Illogical, petrifying, alien. As he falls to his knees, his eyes widen and his heart begins to race while he thinks, "So this is what fear is. How...primitive." While he had in theory known what fear was, in the past Anthony had been able to see a way out of nearly any situation, and during the times when he couldn't, he simply resigned himself to "fate". This was the first time he had actually experienced fright and he disliked it immensely. Hoping to escape the sensation, he falls into a meditative state, similar to sleeping, shutting off the flow of hormones.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor landed with Estella, setting her down, but kept a grip on her when Anthony seemed to fell asleep. "Never mind then, shall we return to the game?"

McCoy stepped out the gym, and sighed. "Well, that escalated quite quickly. if we ever play this again, I shall suggest no powers. No matter. Cass is over now"

[twave]

With McCoy announcing the end of the game Estella jerked her arm free from Connor's grip. "Guess not." She glared at him for a moment. "I'm not helpless you know. I know what I'm doing."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I know" Connor said, "But watching someone fall isn't a nice thing to do" With that, he shrugged, heading inside to change, his suit folding up, he slid it into his pack, and sighed. Not a good day at all, it seemed.

Phoebe gently shook Katherin, "are you okay?"

[knight125]

Ben and John, who had both been within two hundred feet of Anthony, slowly wake after fainting from the intense fear. Ben had been preparing to attack John before they went unconscious, but laughs as they wake up, and helps his prey to his feet. "Well that was scary as hell," Ben says to John before walking over to Kalinda and sitting next to her. While he waits for her to wake up, he pulls a rather large canine tooth from his pocket and strokes it absentmindedly with his thumb.

[MarshiestMallow]

As the fear seemed to slowly disappear, kalinda stirred, her body automatically shifting the fear in her to a more harmless emotion now she wasn't overwhelmed. Sensing someone near her, she opened an eye, relaxed when she saw Ben, despite the fact he appeared to be stroking a large tooth.

"Maybe that wasn't such a good idea" Groggy, weak, she pushed herself up, her arms shaking, into a sitting position, "Is that a real tooth?"

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin sat up slowly. She looked around uncertainly. What had happened. Then she remember Anthony approaching her and Austin. His eyes had changed color! Katherin glared at Anthony. To Phoebe she said. "I think so."

Griffin was alittle disappointed that the game was done. He was sure his team would have one had they continued. As Griffin landed he shifted back into his human form. "We must do this again. It is an excellent hunting game!"

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue shut down, almost instantly with the fog of fear that she had no idea where it came from. She had an idea, but it overwhelmed her before she could do anything.

While she grew afraid, she had no generic fears that popped into her head. It was just pure raw emotions of fear, and it seemed so illogical to just be afraid of nothing, yet be afraid of everything. Fear was so strong.

When the fog subsided and drawn away, Sue knew how weak she was, and how fearful she was for everyone, no matter how destructive her abilities were. She ran over to Anthony and hugged him tightly, kissing him ever so hard on the cheek.

"You okay?"

[knight125]

Ben is shaken from his reverie by Kalinda's question and nods before sticking the tooth in his pocket. "Yeah," he says, "it's from a, um, tiger. What did you do?"

As Anthony feels himself being touched without warning, he eases out of his meditative state. Glad to find that the fear had passed, he allows himself to be kissed by Sue before hugging her back. "Oh, I'm fine. How are you, mi amour?"

(French for my love.)

[MarshiestMallow]

"I touched Anthony, to try and stop him from jailing those two" Kalinda said, "I guess the fear amplified what he was doing" She sighed, "I didn't expect that to happen"

Phoebe smiled, "Great" She said, standing, offering a hand to help Katherin up, "the ice was great. You couldn't have stopped Anthony, I don't think. What did he do though?"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani found herself coming to in a corner. She hadn't been in the middle of the fear fog, but even getting the edges of it was enough to send her scrambling into the nearest small place. She hadn't passed out, but she hadn't been entirely aware of her surroundings, either. Now her eyes hurt from squeezing them shut so hard. "...damn. What the hell was that?"

---

Devika seemed to be one of the few that had been spared. She'd been right in the midst of the fog, but her own power and training with her emotions had spared her all but the slightest fear. When her fellow students started dropping, she did her best to help. She'd been in the middle of hauling 533 out of the danger zone when Professor McCoy called the game quits.
