X-Men: The New Era

@Guess Who The idea is that everyone will be too busy dealing with their own fight to do things like that but if you want to somehow work that out I'd be fine with it. The lesson here is that you are your own worst enemy.

@knighthawk No there isn't a pool in the Danger Room right now. It basically looks like a high school gym.

X-Men: The New Era

Yes they copy abilities, and their fighting capabilities is definitely dependent on your own. They can slide up or down depending on you perform. Pierce is watching each of the fights as best he can and will be adjusting the clones along the way. That's all stuff that will be happening in the background so don't worry about narrating that. Just have fun with it and take the fight in the direction that you all want to. BTW you are not forced to stay on this sparring ring, you have the whole "gymnasium" to work with, bleachers and all :D.

2 Days Later

Things thus far had been fairly uneventful at the Ashford Academy. That is of course assuming you understand that the day to day life at an Academy for mutants is more eventful on a quiet day than some of the strangest days in the mundane world. Everywhere one looked there were oddities, things unseen by the general public. Every person inside of the gated school for the gifted were far from "mundane". Each of them held abilities unlike anything that an average human being possessed and the majority of them felt like outcasts in a world that would judge and fear them if their gifts were ever to come into the light. Not here...not in this school. This is where they belonged.

The Danger Room was formed into the illusion of a high school gymnasium, something the staff hoped would bring a sense of familiarity to the training session. Professor Pierce had been teaching the basics of Defensive Tactics to the team assigned to this particular time slot. He carried a stern demeanor about him that demanded respect and focus in their exercises. After walking everyone through some stretching techniques he asked everyone to follow him over to a thick, raised gymnastics mat that was reminiscent of a longer, rope-less wrestling ring. Once everyone was in place he pulled out his controls tablet and initiated the training sequence. In an instant a black and white doppelganger of each student appeared in front of them. These partially translucent clones mirrored their every movement until Professor Pierce addressed the group.

"Today we are going to start by facing the greatest foes you will ever have....yourselves." The professor had a smug smirk on his face as he spoke these words and immediately each of the doppelgangers pounced on their respective twins with ferocity. With little warning the students were once again thrown into deep end to adapt to their situation and hopefully overcome it. Only time would tell what was to happen next.

(OOC: Have fun with this sequence. Win, lose, draw it's up to you how your character fairs in this spur of the moment battle. Other than a few basic strikes and take downs no one has really been taught anything. This is another test from the trainers to see how the students react with situations like this. I trust you guys, let's do this xD).
