[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin took out her notebook and began doodling. She should have been taking notes on the other students. Their strengths, weakness, and fighting styles. But Katherin had been much of a note taker.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike was very happy to see Kyra smile and he stop himself for giving her a kiss on the cheek as he observed the people he called classmates.

[Anime_Freak]

Kyra looked around, looking for either Austin or Connor.

Illumi was outside, leaning against a tree.

Kurapika wandered the halls, bored and alone.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike looked at her as he asked "Kyra, who are you looking for?"

[Anime_Freak]

Kyra looked at him. "Oh, just some friends. I haven't seen them in this class.... I hope they're not lost."

[SomeoneSomewere]

( erm... Both Connor and Austin are in there )

Austin looked at Kyra, yawning and stretching out his arms. Well... That was rather interesting... He wasn't sure what to think of this John guy. Kinda creepy.

[Anime_Freak]

(...............oh....... *repeated facedesk* stupidstupidstupidstupid!!))

Kyra saw Austin and smiled, waving.

[knight125]

Flood dodges strike after attempted strike from an increasingly frustrated Mr. Rankin. He begins to laugh maniacally as he comments, "Has anyone ever told you that you would make a killing as a ballerina?" Flood waits until Mimic's spins cause him to have his back exposed, then lunges, his outstretched arms revealing the previously hidden tonfas.

Mimic's growls of frustration grow ever louder with each futile strike, "That damn Brock kid slowed me down. This is freaking ridiculous!". Suddenly, Mimic's student lunges at him. He raises his arms, causing the ice shards scattered around the room to fly toward Flood. Flood shields his face instinctively, leaving an opening that Mimic makes the most of. Mimic rapidly spins once again, his razor-sharp wings slicing his student in half. He nonchalantly pushes the two halves together and says to Flood, "You obviously haven't been doing what I told you. Fight your instincts to shield your face and focus on the battle. If your face is hurt, it'll heal. Now get out of here." Mimic sticks his head in the classroom and points to Sue as he says, "Come on down!"

[Dioxide]

Sue

Sue, the silent watcher, did not really bother taking notes into how to approach Mimic. She had no fighting skills and no strategies to approach the man that copied your powers. She was clueless in determining and fighting for a win, especially from as impossible feat with the multi-powered man.

She wasn’t completely despondent and tried to think of how she could avoid being hurt the least for the most about of damage done to him. Maybe she could run circles around him, but he did have wings and telekinesis, a power he liked to use against ranged abilities. She desperately tried to remember what more she learnt from Captain America, but she was not ever going to get close enough to land a pathetic punch.

Several students interrupted her thought, as Sue turned to them, and noticed how nonchalant and fearless they seemed about themselves. Not even a hushed tone; they talked to one another without any barriers of interpersonal relationship, implying they’ve interconnected to a higher degree of closeness she had yet to experience with her current friends. She did give out a few hugs and received some, but she wondered neither if she had given off the right impression nor if they liked her. She wasn’t an introvert nor was she critical on herself; but she was in a new environment and not with her friends.

Then it hit her. Of course, she thought about it already, and she could still pull it off; she had her powers! Her powers could deafen a person with even the lowest of volumes Sue hears, and that was just passive. She could distort Mimic’s concentration enough for her to incapacitate him. But she was afraid of how he’d react with his power mimicry. She’d have to step it up, and go beyond her zone of fear and show a side of her that no one in this school has seen yet. She looked into her bag, and saw them. She won’t take them out yet, but she was almost excited to see the reactions people would have when she does.

Anthony

Anthony wanders over to Sue and whispers a simple, "Hi."

Again, she was interrupted in her thoughts, and she barely opened her mouth to return a reply when…

Mimic

Mimic sticks his head in the classroom and points to Sue as he says, "Come on down!"

My goodness the interruptions were too darn high. She was caught off-guard and she panicked all over. She looked to the familiar faces to look for some support, but she knew that support was not going to help her.

So, she took off her earmuffs, and reached down into her bag to reveal to her classmates her headphones.

Her headphones were large, and covered a large portion of her head. They were cushioned all over the inside to ease comfort into her head, and were obviously custom-made.

The ear cups were the highlights and were a state of art technology that was handed to Sue by her father on one of her birthdays – her 5th, she believed, when her passion was starting to blossom. There were gridded wheels on each ear cup to control the volume of her music. Each ear cup had a touchscreen digital visualizer that represented the music she was listening to in analog waves or bars (she was free to choose the visualizer herself) and she could control the choice, flow, and quality of music through the screens. It was a bit inconvenient since the screen was to the side, so there were mechanical buttons present as well on each cup in a ring outside of the touchscreen. It emanated a glow of a luminescent yellow and blue, and the casing and strong metal mould that held everything together was a pristine white. It was a tough, incredibly sophisticated and really loved device that Sue loved. It was the envy of many headphone lovers alike, and it was a masterpiece of technology. It had a GPS locater chip that made sure that it wouldn’t ever be lost or stolen completely. It was especially designed for its lightness and durability, which meant that Sue could dance with these headphones without worry of damage or added cumbersome weight.

She looked cool in her headphones.

She was going to disrupt Mimic’s attention with her music.

Analog waves and digital sound were completely different things. Natural, environmental, bioacoustics, man-made (not artificial) sounds all came in analog waves, which was the natural wavelength which was continuous and flowing.

However, to record, convert and reintroduce that sound into a digital format, it was not as realistic. Digital audio had to consider sampling rates and the audio resolution. The sampling rate meant how many samples were taken per second, meaning how “much” of the sound was captured and replicated. The audio resolution meant how much of said sound was accurate in terms of pitch. Quantization levels were needed to determine the volume of each sample of sound. The more the quantization levels, the more similar it is to the actual tone and decibel of the natural sound.

Though digital sound will never be as nice as natural sounds, technology made it possible that Sue had nothing to fear over when facing Mimic.

She left the classroom and entered the room where Mimic was; the door seemed to loom over her enormously and the cold doorknob woke up Sue’s attention.

**************************

Sue entered the room, her eyes traced the layout of the cameras, the walls, the artificial lights on the ceiling, but she could not avoid the sight of the intimidating Mimic. She’d seen what he could do, but he has not yet experienced anything like Sue.

She adjusted the volume down to THREE, but it was similar to the volume of a loud concert right in your face.

Solemnly, she thought to herself: ”And today’s song choice is…”

Kredo - Singularity (JPhelpz Remix)

Suddenly the room was filled with reverberation ripples and sonic waves of loud techno music. The volume, as loud as a jet taking off within earshot, was deafening, but it had no effect on Sue. She could see Mimic covering his ears and struggling to stand up.

So she placed her hands on the ground, and she balanced herself and pivoted in pendulum, swinging herself around. She was breakdancing, and she was twirling her legs in the air all over the room. She flipped forwards and backwards everywhere, moving the source of sound all over the room, in the hopes that Mimic could never get the chance to fully concentrate. The other room must be wincing in pain with the high volumes by now.

Her glowing headphones, her red hair, her orange trousers, the swiftness and agility on how she moved made these colours look like she was emitting light. She was a blur of colours that moved majestically to the loud beats of the music.



The chorus came, and she jumped in front of Mimic, and started to spin on her head and with the weight bearing on her shoulders she spun around with amazing precision and remarkable poise.

Reference – I recommend you watch.

Mimic hadn’t at all made a move; he was barely moving and she was running laps around her. She was defeating him. The sound never left the room, and so the volumes were consistent. She remembered Iron Fist’s training, and realized one thing was true: her emotions controlled her passive powers, and made them active. She was happy and energetic and she felt her power amplifying her music even louder.

For the final act, she got on her feet, jumped forward towards Mimic, with a twist of the volume wheels on her headphones, turned it up to SIX. A concussive blast that was sure to knock Mimic out. She had no intention to kill him, but it was an exciting act that she could control herself; she was feeling it and there was no stopping her. She hoped her classmates wouldn’t hate her for this. The sonic blast had the force of a bomb explosion, but Mimic had assimilated Sue’s power, and so the sound volume spike was doubled.

The impact of two huge sound bombs exploding blew the walls apart. The left, right and the wall behind Mimic blew away outwards. The walls behind Sue, which covered them from her fellow classmates, stayed upright.

There broke holes and several damaged the building. The building they were in now had a three-floor gaping hole in and out of the building.

The building had been evacuated with the loud volumes. Students outside had gathered to see what had caused the damage. Many superheroes were flying and floating around to see the massacre.

All eyes were on her; she nearly destroyed an entire building, the foundations weakening by the second but held. Her classmates were barely alive with the blast of over safe levels of sound. Mimic was on top of her, shielding her from debris that fell on top of her.

As the song ended, her headphones stopped their glow of their bright colours, and Sue pressed the stop button.

She bowed, and left the room by the door, comically still upright with no supporting frame.

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe scrambled up "that was awesome! Are you okay though?" She asked, "I really, really don't want to be on your bad side Sue. Scary!"

(My god!)

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani had been barely paying attention when Sue stepped up to Mimic's door. But the thumping bass caught her ear, and she watched. Before she knew it, her jaw was open and hanging. Sue could move. She hadn't seen that coming at all- the ease at which she turned and twisted and arced herself, keeping Mimic well off balance with the loud music. And then it got a little too real, and the noise (just noise alone!) took out the room and a good chunk of the building.

Kijani peeked out from the paper shield she'd reflexively created for herself, with hers and several other people's notes. Her eyes were round with wonder. Then there was silence, Sue must have stopped the music. She left out of the somehow still standing door, and Kijani was gaping at her along with half the school.

She'd been there. The one stared at. Feeling like you were on display for the masses. She didn't want her friend (were they friends?) to go through that.

So Kijani got her legs under her, stood, and started to applaud and cheer wildly.

"WHOOOO! GO SUE! YOU ROCK!"

[KatherinWinter]

"Well I guess I won't be practicing there."Katherin said casually. She was shocked at Sue's ability. Katherin thanked the stares that she didn't have that ability. She wondered how much control Sue had over her ability. Had she meant to destroy the building. Either way that was on scary power.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor hadnt been oaying attention u til the sound blasted. He gasped, and looked up at the screen, not having been aware that it was Sues turn to fight.

connor immediately saw the danger, but before he could even react, going for his oack and the suit there, it was over and someo e, they weren't all crushed.

He stood slowly, unable to speak. He clapped softly, and smiled slightly. Looking at Sue, you wouldn't know the power she had. "I think we should leave, not that that wasn't frigging amazing"

"Guess not" Phoebe said, stilk wide eyed, she grabbed her pack, "I think we will still hear ringing until tonight!" She said she made her way closer to Sue

[Flood]

Dioxide said
His mind was tired, and he was not feeling his telekinesis. His mind was boggled and he couldn't think clearly. Mimic tried another tactic he just remembered, a compensation for how tired he felt.Mimic, with his cryokinesis, froze the tips of his wings, essentially becoming daggers. He then extended his wings, and spun around, slashing and dashing towards Flood. “Come get some, boy,” his spins were relentless and ever close to Flood.

Flood spun around the blows constantly. After being beaten quite soundly though he stuck a miniature bomb on his wing so he could detonate it during his next fight. Serves him right for humiliating him.

((Sorry but we're quite past this.))

[Dioxide]

Sue

Eyes were really on her, and many compliments and positive comments were given to her.

She blushed, and bowed to the whole class and returned to her seat.

She was confused as to how to feel about what she just did. She could have killed everyone, but she just proved to everyone and herself that she was a force not to be reckoned with. She was so going to get told off.

[knight125]

(Sorry, this is all I can come up with right now.)

Anthony watches the fight, showing only minor interest. Moments after being evacuated along with the other students, however, the fight suddenly becomes more interesting. Two incredibly powerful shock waves tear through the school, leaving a gaping hole in the building. Anthony grins, "Now there's someone that could make a good ally."

After Sue's display of raw power, Ben falls silent. While he was impressed by the show, he couldn't help but wonder if se even cared that she could have killed everyone.

After Sue walks toward her classmates, Mimic stands shakily before falling once again. His wings move slightly, revealing a large shard of wood sticking out of his back. John immediately noticed his teacher's injury, and jumps into action. He suits up as he sprints toward Mimic, then drops to his knees. John pulls out the 4 inch thick, 20 inch long piece of wood, then sticks his hands on either side of Mimic's chest. As the internal damage is healed and the blood stops flowing, John's head feels lighter and lighter. Once Mimic's wound is completely healed, John falls to the ground, unconscious.

John

After Sue walks toward her classmates, Mimic stands shakily before falling once again. His wings move slightly, revealing a large shard of wood sticking out of his back. John immediately noticed his teacher's injury, and jumps into action. He suits up as he sprints toward Mimic, and then drops to his knees. John pulls out the 4 inch thick, 20 inch long piece of wood, then sticks his hands on either side of Mimic's chest. As the internal damage is healed and the blood stops flowing, John's head feels lighter and lighter. Once Mimic's wound is completely healed, John falls to the ground, unconscious.

Sue by reaction covered her mouth in shock. The wood that stuck out of Mr. Rankin was a horrifying sight. When Ben healed Mr. Rankin and passed out, Sue thought not to touch them. She was devastated. The one time she was finally felt free and alive, she nearly killed two people.

It was a grim reminder that she could never return back to her normal life, and that her powers were a curse cast upon her. Her teary, red eyes and short, panicky breaths were obvious that she was upset. She did not mean to hurt them; she did not mean to hurt anyone or destroy anything. They were now outside the very building she destroyed, and she looked up to see the damage. More of the building was caving in, and students kept watching Sue. The volume was getting loud as people started to talk amongst each other, talking about her, talking about the state of Mimic, people screaming, the wood and metal cracking and bending. Her heart was racing, and she was scared, she was amplifying everything she heard again. She clasped her ears, and ran off.

She ran away from the crowd, away from the hateful eyes. Her so-called friends must hate her now, her teachers distrustful, her father disappointed. She ran to her room far away from everyone else’s. She exited the elevator and ran into her room.

Her caretakers stood guard by the entrance of the building. No one was to come in. Sue fell to the ground and curled into a ball , and cried heavily in her sound-absorbing prison.

She cried heavily, but silently. The sweet return of her old life today was unwarranted and unwanted. Her life could never be the same again.

[SomeoneSomewere]

By this time, Austin had fallen out of his desk in a desperate attempt to get out when the sound started. He was curled into the fetal position, his hands pressing tightly against his sensitive ears. His body shook in pain, his eyes clenched shut, claws out and pressed into his head. By the time the pain had gone down enough to even thing about moving, he slowly moved his body out, releasing his head. Yet now, with the constant ringing in his ears, he couldn't hear anything. While that sound was deafening to other students... It had no comparison to how he could hear it. He slowly stumbled to his feet, small pinpricks of blood on his head from his claws. He again dug his claws into the desk, shaking still. It was hard to think straight, all that was in his brain was pain and ringing.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin saw Sue run off in tears. She was relieved that the other girl hadnt meant to cause so much destruction. Katherin wished she could do something to help John, but since that was not with her abilities Katherin decided to follow Sue.

Sue's place was far from the other buildings on the grounds. Katherin was glad she had her navigation map or she might not be able to find her way back to the school. Katherin tapped quietly, but didn't wait for a response. In Sue's shoes she had ignored knocks. Softly Katherin says "I understand how you feel."
