Signy nodded. "Aye. But before we go, take a look at the door ta tha Vice-Principle's office." She pointed to the door, specifically at the name "Dr. Tennant".

_____________________________________________________________

Having sent a warning about the odd transmission to ESSI, Lexi decided it was close enough to the start of the next period to head to the danger room. She saw Sebastian and Kami at the door, and greeted them. "Good morning. I'm Lexi, a new student here." Not having any magical perceptions, she was not likely to notice Misty unless she manifested.

Sebastian regarded Kami's statement about someone bringing bodies back to life with what sounded like magical runes with interest. Once Lexi came into view he gave a shy wave to her greeting before turning his attention to the intercom, pressing the button to alert anyone currently in the Danger Room. He turned his attention back to Lexi

''My name is Sebastian'' he responds to her greeting quietly before pointing to Kami and her backpack ''that's Kami and Atrox. We are new students here too.''

"Guess so." Kami said, she wasn't sure but she had certainly guessed right. She finally got her backpack/lion back on over the large spell casting toy/device. Then she started flipping through cards... "Should we be fast? Tobias said Testing would be awful..." She bit her lip and looked up from her cards, then back down at her cards, putting a few into the device. It was another one of her artifacts that seemed to ebb magic.

Most wouldn't recognize where it was from since it's some obscure card game, Rune Fortress, that just happened through from japan. It wasn't like the toys, but served the same design. Lots of slots for cards, with magic sygils drawn all over the thing. They were done in very small print so it was hard to make out, but everything from math equations to star signs were inscribed in the circle.

Lexi noticed the slight flicker in the lights. "You're drawing on the building's power supply! I wonder if you can draw on mine, we'll have to see..." She raised her voice slightly, and asked aloud what she sent by Wi-Fi: "ESSI, is the Danger Room occupied?"

Kami tilts her head. "I could try designing a mana sync. Like a ghost bracelet or medallion, that sounds cooler." She tilts her head the other way, still staring at Misty... "Or try, might turn out funny, but you're a ghost, can't kill you." She seemed to have gone from explaining to thinking out loud at random. She cleared her throat then smiled a little before going quiet, her eyes moving a little, then she closed them and hummed something unfamiliar.

Sebastian responded to Misty's question with a frown, having some knowledge of how old ghosts could be and some of the disturbing reasons behind how they manifest in the first place ''From what I have read....ghosts can exist all way back to the A.C eras depending on how bad there deaths were or how bad there emotional state was before there death. There is a lot of Dark Ages ghosts that were victims of ancient plague doctor villains or old school necromancers who would cause both plague or zombie outbreaks. Of course there was hero's in those times as well but they could't save all the victims and those specific type of villain's back then were...rather graphic with how they killed there victims...'' Sebastian's first thought went back to how bad Misty's death was or how bad her emotional state was before she died, he's heard way to many graphic stories of horrible deaths from young ghosts before....

He contiued on, putting in a detail he almost forgot ''Oh yeah, be very careful around wraiths which essentially is a ghost whose sole purpose behind there manifestation is revenge. Infamous haunted buildings or graveyards...such as some of the graveyards of Revolutionary War soldiers and Civil War soldiers have many wraiths and the other ghosts in those places usually fear them. Any living that goes in those ancient haunted places? The ghosts will swarm on you like bees and use anything they can to tell you to get your ass out of there before the wraith comes and kills you. One of the most infamous wraiths from the Revolutionary War is the Headless Horseman, the british ghosts think that guy is wacko...and they technically were on the same side when the war was actually going on so that should tell you something. Old jails and mental asylums have been reported by heroes and civilians to have the most wraiths for obvious reasons''

Misty looked up "Oh seems free period over. Well at least you guys saw the door to the danger room."

Ron looked up and grumbled "Seems I best head to my class. The wonderful world of Super Heath and Fitness." He shook his head and headed out of the office and to the classroom where he was going to try to teach.

While Sebastian was spending time in school Marionette was still waiting in the receptionist office for a school counselor. While he was waiting he felt like what seemed to be one disguised hero and another hero that definitely was not disguised still in the office. His body perking up slightly once he heard the hero without a disguise attempting to also drop some information about there charges to counselors while the disguised hero wandered off into the hall.

"That bell means you need to head to your next class. You get about five minutes till the start of the class to get to it. Just look on your class schedule." Misty blinked "I must be going soft here I am being helpful."

Kami openned her mouth in an O shape.

"That makes sense." She nodded, pulling her schedule out and grumbling... "Says more testing... Got history after lunch, Testing, testing, history again..." She blinked and snorted in a quiet huff. She glanced at Misty, wondering why she didn't respond to her offer about the ghost enhancer. "You seemed helpful, is that bad?" She blinked again tilting her head.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm kind of Head of Tech for the Young Wanderers, kind of powered-teen and young adult sort of group. " Laurn drummed his fingers on the desk and glanced over at the coffee machine before getting himself a cup. "I guess I haven't caught your name, must have seen you on patrol. We're based out of the old Clocktower in Ironport, near the docks. It's got big glowing green hands now." He sipped his coffee. "Not very secret, but very secure. " He grinned and glanced around, still waiting for the counselor.

_____________

Terry was headed back to the normal gym for his weight lifting class, passing by Mr. Juunikyuu on the way and nodding at him. Terry knew him from Taichi sessions in the park, there were a few others who were normals, or supers just interested, he rarely had a need to see a counselor for official reasons. The Taichi helped him focus his energy better and fight, or so he thought. He couldn't really tell if it made a difference.

_____________

"Mr. Wallace." Tonbo replied to the nod from Terry. The counselor had just come back from a cigarette, though he didn't smell like it. He closed his eyes quietly as Koryuu babbled very old japanese in his head about this sense, or that sense. Tonbo sighed quietly asnd shook his head, rubbing his temple as the monologue from the bored Kami continued on to his bad habit of smoking, Tonbo didn't see how that was a problem, since Koryuu kept him "The Go-Shintai" from aging or getting sick. He reached the office and smiled at the receptionist, then the two heroes.

"Oh thank goodness." The receptionist sighed and waved him over. "These two men need to speak to you about the children in their charge."

Walking past the reception desk was the Undead Super Heath and fitness coach Ron Bolton. He was looking down at a folder "Why did I sign up to be a teacher... really, toxic clean up wasn't that bad." Some of the students rushing to their class gave him glances. He looked up hearing fast foot steps and spotted a running teen. "No running in the Halls!"
--------------------------

"I'm a poltergeist we don't really have a good reputation. I tend to pull pranks when bored. Oh and about that whole whatithusits you were talking about, I guess I be willing to try. Thought I would feel better if there were a bit more options. Would you trust yourself to someone you just met with what could be your existence without second opinions?"

Ron looked at the dumbfounded girl "Yeah I know, I been in tha news a few times. That mess during tha Meet your Hero day was a big hassle. Tha camera didn't even get my good side, surprised it didn't break. I'm Mr. Bolton teacher for tha Super Health and Fitness. Or is it considered a coach? Oh well guess I be a teach easier."

Cher looked at her schedule and sighed wandering down the halls towards gym class changing into the ever crappy gym shorts that every school used and a t-shirt of equally un-stylish design pulling her hair in a pony tail. Having gone strait there she had beaten most people to the punch, changed alone in between two rows of lockers. when the bulk of the other students started showing up she was already doing stretches, her form not covered by baggy clothing showed that she was in rather good shape, built like an endurance swimmer. as the rest of the class was just about finished dressing she walked out to the gym and leaned on a wall, fiddling with the government issued power regulation device on her neck, its specialized functionality designed for her unique situation. again without the hoodie to conceal it it was clear it wasn't just a loose collar but had small grayish...needles? ..pressed into her neck. the only part of her normal school attire still on her feet where a well worn pair of track shoes, her lucky shoes, she wasn't wearing them that day, her mother had made her wear new ones, she hadn't taken them off since.

"No problem I'm used to it. Well hurry up to ya next class, I better hurry as well." He looked down at the file he held as he headed to the gym. A short time later he walked into the gym and looked at the collecting students.

"Greetings Students I am Coach Bolton, get out tha Zombie jokes out of ya system now. Yes I'm undead, but before that I was a professional fighter. I tell ya now that out there it's not what ya can do, its tha training ya got." He looked them over "Of course most if not all of ya not going to do something stupid as try to save tha day. Ya just want a normal life, to live a normal day like any other teenager in tha world. If I could that be what I want. I tell ya now, there be only two pieces of homework from me. That homework would be the most important homework for ya. Tha homework would be two journals, one ya will write down every time ya use ya powers, date, time, how it felt, why ya power activated. Tha second is a jurnal of every odd pain or feeling ya have. Now ya ask ya questions."

Andy's smirk grew wider at the 'other person's back on the wall' comment, then their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of the teacher... who turned out to be undead. He waited a second or two, then followed along in Cher's wake, taking time to enjoy the view before stopping next to her and listening to her questions.

After the bell rang Sebastian separated from Kami, Lexi, Atrox and Misty with a ''Bye, see ya around'' before heading to his first actual class. He looked at his assigned class card, apparently his first first class was gym...which would be no problem if only he knew were the Gym was. Sebastian wandered around the school hall for a few minutes, trying his best to find the gym. After turning on so many corners of halls that looked near exactly the same he finally reached the gym. Opening the door and already familiarizing himself with the surroundings he happened to notice his teacher was indeed a ghoul zombie. He walked to the zombie coach, giving his recently registered class paper ''Ehm excuse me Coach. I am a new kid that was just registered today...Sebastian Greene? Uhm...anyway I am sorry sir for for being late...I don't know my way around this school at all and this is the first school I have went to in my life...'' Sebastian explained sheepishly, intimidated more of his punishment for being late rather then the fact he is talking to the first sentient zombie he has seen before.

Once Portia was finished with her assessment, Roxanne unlocked the door to let Dennis and Lexi in. Since Janet had left her in charge, she went down to greet the new students. As they stood next to each other, she smirked at the study in contrasts that was the slender Lexi versus the enormous Dennis.

"Hello. I'm Roxanne Smythe-Graeme (Graham), one of the instructors for the Hero Training Program. I presume that the two of you wish to join the Program and have the parental permission to do so?" she asked them in her pleasant Kentish accent.

For Terry, weight lifting was required for him, atleast the school said so, he took it every year since he got onto the baseball team. Part of the fitness and strength requirements their coach set. Terry knew the gig and knew the coach, so he was already working before the coach finished explaining everything to the new people. That happened even before he got his powers, but he didn't expect this change.

He actually lifted weights all the time, though while pretending to be average it was far too easy to hit what his coach set for a requirement to be a pitcher. Terry figured if the powers didn't effect his playing, he shouldn't register them. The requirements for each day were far too easy, it wasn't that he had super strength, but when your body negated a certain amount of kinetic energy, it reduced the downward force he felt and the objects he touched, though once they left his hand it was nothing. He practiced for days at a road sign a few miles out of town until he could throw slowly enough to hit 87 mph again... He checked the clock after checking off his assignment sheet, then sighed...

"Coach, can I take a walk, I already finished the sheet." He held out the assignment to the NPC coach.

"Hrm... Stay in the fitness area, and don't just walk jog!" He nodded at Terry and took a drink of his gatorrade. Terry kept from laughing until he'd jogged up the stairs to the weight room and into the main gym, just like anyone else doing a lap.

____________

Kami looked for the Danger Room on her sheet, and was not there with Misty and the others, so she waved and ran off, late, now that the bell had rung and went to one of the secondary Danger Rooms. Since she was expected, she just entered and made sure the door didn't slam behind her.

"Sorry I'm late, this school is big, I swear there's a labyrinth in here..." She muttered, looking for a seat, or just standing completely unsure how a class room setting works.

____________

Tobias had to hurry off to his third period since he waited around, he bit his lip as he got to the door and looked around, activating his powers and cloaking himself in darkness. He looked like a faint blur shaped like a person, but most people had the subtly 'forced' inclination to look away and ignore something just slightly off. He slipped into the classroom and tried slinking to a seat in the back while the teacher wasn't looking.

Luckily the chemistry classroom had more space to move in than other classrooms, but he still had to get to an open seat. Hopefully whomever the teacher for Chemistry was, wouldn't catch him, this wasn't the best impression...

"Okay lets get going. Follow me to the Danger room where this class going to be held for the rest of the school year." He glanced back "Sorry Char... I mean Cher I have a tad problem with my speach from time to time. One of tha draw backs of my state, one of tha benefits is heightened senses." Gives her the I heard you look. Then headed for the Danger Rooms. "We be taking Danger Room Three. Tha rooms been designed to handle most anything, force fields, magical wards, and whole lot of armor to make sure what happens in tha rooms stays."

Once at the danger room he opens the door and walks in. It was already set up with test dummies a few along the wall were just square pads. "First are tha pressure pads tha harder you push them, tha harder they resist. They can stand up to 5 tons of force. Cha..Cher how about you demonstrate. Just go up and push with all your might, how much force you apply appears up over tha pad."

Rob sauntered down the hallway toward his next class without much enthusiasm, not really caring much whether he made it on time. It was his first day, after all, and he could always blame getting lost for his tardiness. Not like his teacher knew he had a map of the school programmed in already. Still, his longer frame meant he covered distances more quickly than than that to which he was accustomed, and he beat the bell, though not the other students who were already seated. Ignoring the stares he received as he entered, he scanned the room for a seat by an outlet and dropped into one of several unoccupied chairs near the back. He knew this would mark him as 'that kid', but English wasn't really his subject, anyway; so far as he could tell, it was completely useless to know what a bunch of old dead white guys thought about poetry. Not that he really minded the philosophy aspect, or even the grammar which was basically just math with words, but the stupid stories and the general impracticability of English as a language rankled with him. [i]Darn it, everyone should just learn to speak math,[/i] he thought. Just then, his new teacher walked in holding a sheaf of papers still hot from the copier.

"All right, everyone, let's settle dow--" His voice was drowned out by the ringing of the late bell. He paused and shot a dirty look at the bell before continuing, "Like I was saying, let's settle down. We're starting with gerunds today and then moving straight into the second act of [i]Macbeth[/i]; we've got a lot left to cover in this unit before we hit test time." The instructor--Rob hadn't bothered remembering his name yet--walked down the aisles, passing a grammar workbook to each student as he went. He paused by Rob's desk and gave a thin smile. Rob could tell by his elevated heartrate and perspiration that the poor guy was stressed. Guess teaching wasn't always sunshine and bluebirds, huh.

"So, you must be Robert. I saw Guidance added you to my roster starting this morning," he handed Rob his work, and gestured to the adapter cord Rob had plugged in to the wall, "Not a cellphone, I hope."

"Nah--ah--No sir," Rob replied, opening the book, "Doctor's orders until we get done with the new powerpack, I'm afraid," he said sheepishly, wondering if the old man would have any idea what he was talking about. The problem with prototypes was that they weren't really meant for long periods of activation.

"Well, it's good to have you," With that, the instructor passed to the next student. If Rob could breathe, he would have sighed with relief. Didn't look like this guy was too interested in calling him out. That was good news, at least. With that, Rob sank back into his chair, half tuning out what the teacher was saying. He'd read [i]Macbeth[/i] last year, or at least the summaries and expanded notes on the play, so it wasn't like he'd be missing much by not listening. Instead, he opened the military uplink he'd been cleared to use to communicate with the team working on Version Two of his chassis.

His lack of fine motor skills meant that, while he would love nothing more than developing another body before this one degraded into uselessness, his soldering skills were shot. Between that and his age, he'd not been allowed to pioneer his project alone, instead being made part of a team dedicated to taking his original prototype and improving upon both the hardware and software elements in the hopes of creating a version of his project that didn't, y'know, [i]kill[/i] whoever attempted it. It sucked a little not being in charge anymore, but he understood. No one would fund a several million-dollar project being spearheaded by a sixteen-year-old, no matter how smart the kid turned out to be. The problem was that his parents had pushed so hard for him to finish school that here he was, right in the middle of the workday when he should be down there in the thick of things helping out. But given the circumstances, planning via conference calls and in-house chat would have to do for the morning-afternoon shift. The night shift was still all him, seeing as he was the only one on the team who didn't need to sleep.

[i]SparkZ: Hey Konnell, what did you think of the new power core design I sent over? I know Elms wants the expanded torso started, but I don't fancy finding out the hard way what happens when the chassis eats up the backup battery because I can't find a plug.[/i]

He doodled idly in his workbook while waiting for a reply, putting his real processing power toward working digitally on blueprints and calculations. If nothing else, being trapped in this form ensured that he always had a calculator handy.

"Impressive, alright class ya saw see if ya can top that. Pick a dummy and punch, kick, push, and any other means of working out any anger you might have. So ya know ya are being recorded, including vitals. So we should get a good understanding of how ya body works. At least in basic and ya be getting a read out as well." He looked to Sebastian "Sebastian ya be sitting this out. Just sit on one of tha benches." Turning to Cher "Cher would ya come with me a moment."

He headed to a corner of the room "Esse please put up a level 5 protection field around me and Cher, give us a radius of 5 feet." Once Cher was near the forcefield went up. "Alright Cher ya report said ya powers are radioactive right? The field blocks even sound so ya want to tell me what happened, and why they got ya in tha strongest repression gear they could put on ya with ya being able to move?"

He nodded "Alright. Look at me, and not just glance. I'm a Monster, and that literal. Even today after five years of being an active hero there are kids scream in fear of me. I'm here to help ya have as normal a life as possible. Mainly because that something I want myself, even if it would mean my death. Somedays I would rather be dead then see this mug in the mirror." Looking up "Okay Esse drop tha field. Cher go one pick a dummy and work off some of that anger ya have. Don't tell me ya don't have any, I'm dead not stupid."

Tobias glanced at the rest of the class as he took a seat in the back next to Evelyn. Once he was seated and the teachers back was turned he dispelled the darkness cloaking him and silently became visible as he dug through his bag for a note book and pencil. The teacher was just writing his name on the board and handing out the syllabi.

________________

Kami was greeted by ESSI.

"Greeting Kami, welcome to standardized placement testing. These tests will simply gauge your capacity sand skill with your powers, after which you should go to the Meta-Human Physical Education class." ESSI explained.

"Oh... Okay..." Kami blinked and looked around the small room, it was in it's basic set up, just a cube, but lines on the walls lit up and formed a few small alien monkey looking things. Kami drew a few cards from her deck and waited.

"Begin." ESSI chimed, Kami nodded and set a card on her toy and a short man with a pointed mask, black wings and long blades claws on his feet, appeared. Kami's device openned up and she caught size small tablets from the rune compartment and looked at them.

"Isa, Sowelo, Othala, Isa rune spell!" She grinned, placing the three runes into three of seven slots on her wrist device, the other two she kept in her hand. The small alien monkeys were frozen into blocks, the Tengu picked them up and crushed them in his bladed claw-feet. "Was that it?" Kami blinked.

"No, the difficulty will steadily increase."

_____________

Bucky wandered the halls aimlessly, sniffing a trail here, following a ghost there. He really didn't care where he went, though he kept smelling something or someone familiar, or atleast another cat! He decided he might as well follow the scent around, since there was little else to do and the school was woefully lacking in tall places for him to jump. The humans really didn't seem to appreciate the value of altitude, they were so bad at hunting and pouncing, most of them atleast!

Cher stopped hitting her bag to watch Andy play with his, then paused taking a few steps back as the large black...bubble? moved towards her. "that totally seems safe" She said before whistling loudly to get the coaches attention as she put a hand on Andy's chest back peddling and attempting to drag him with her as the the thing grew "really cool powers does it stop freaky black walls of death?" she said rapidly to him as her other hand worked at the collar she had on really wishing the damn thing came off with anything short of a staff members bio-metrics or her supervising agents.

Sebastian sat nearby on a bench, observing as the other metahuman students interacted with each other or practiced on the dummies. He could give a guess as to why he was told to sit here by the coach. His physique lost a lot of muscle back when he was surviving on the streets of Ironport. He had multiple occurrences of going days without proper food, having to scavenge money off of small fry muggers who thought he was a easy target to buy small amounts of food. The weeks before he was found by Marionette were the worst, the Baron's nearly found him again and to make it worse he accidentally pissed off a small group of Chasers when he crashed there drug deal. Running constantly and using parkour to travel across rooftops or use objects such as dumpsters to slow down anyone who was actively chasing him was consistently a legitimate issue during those hell weeks. ''I am glad for Marionette happening to find me when I was near death....don't think that I would of lasted much longer agaisnt those Chasers or any other criminals stalking the alley ways or rooftops with a badly malnourished body'' Sebastian remarked to himself before he suddenly changed his train thought.....suddenly realized that he might possibly be good at the ''gymnastics'' sport he read up on because he is very capable of some similar skills of dexterity and flexibility that he himself was forced to learn to survive.

Sebastian kept his eye particularly on Andy and Cher when Andy was displaying his powers. Andy's power particularly mystified Sebastian as he has never seen anything like that before and something felt a bit off about Cher....her particular aura indicated that whatever her powers where they were strong...almost to the point of being unstable.

Sebastian's observations were suddenly interrupted as he noticed a loud shrill noise invade his ears after the coach told them to get into the hallway. ''A potential threat already? I have only been here for 2 periods! Albeit it's just Andy's powers going haywire for some reason...'' he murmured to himself quietly.

Noting the magical disturbance - he'd kept his Spirit Sight up to better catch the nuances of other students' techniques -Toni asked over his link to Sings Loudly, *Setzer, it looks like someone panicked. Do you think you can get me in there, maybe calm whoever it is down?*

The wise cat, however, didn't think that would go over well with the school officials. He stepped from a shadow in the control room to one right next to Ms. Graeme-Smythe, and projected to her: *I can get you into there, huntress-in-the-dark.*

As Dr. Florence dePaul talked about the similarities between various magical traditions, Signy McAllister felt a presence, faint with both physical distance and the light shielding on the room. It gave her a since of forboding, but since she couldn't do anything about it, she tried to pay attention to the lesson...

Roxanne responded to the black bubble in much the same way as Ron, by flipping up a panel near the door and hitting the alarm. "Alright, everybody out! Stay together and keep each other out of trouble. If anyone panics and does something stupid, its gonna be laps for a week!"

She then looked down to where Sings Loudly had appeared by her feet. Still having her translation spell on, she nodded at his suggestion. Once all of the students were out of sight, runes flared to life around Roxanne, her armor and weapons appearing on her body. She walked towards the bubble slowly, Sings Loudly by her side. As she approached it, her helmets sensors took scans of it, but it was throwing off all kinds of strange and disruptive readings.

Nightstrike contacted Lexi on an encrypted channel. "I don't know what's going on, but I could use some back-up if you can slip away from the rest of the students and get back in here."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andy followed Cher out of the gymnasium. As Cher talked to Sebastian, Andy looked over at her. "If he is the cause of this, then antagonizing him seems like a fantastic idea!" he whispered sarcastically.

Seeing the dummy Ron got his game plan. He headed out to the Hall "Alright Students here what's going on. In the other room a student was being tested, something frightened her judging by how her vitals spiked and she lost control. That black wall some kind of dimensional bubble reality, or also could be called a pocket universe. I'm going in there, those who would like to join me can. There is no way of knowing what is on the inside."

He looked at them "The rest of you will head to the cafeteria I expect you to behave yourselves, consider the rest of the class a free class. Remember ESSE is still monitoring you, so no doing anything stupid."

Heading back into the Danger Room he looked at the barrier. "Here I thought teaching was going to be the hard part of this job."

-------------------------------------

Misty stopped when she could see the barrier wall. "Okay that's new. What do you think Bucky?"

Sebastian just laughed at Cher's question as he walked into the hall, ignoring the implied snarks at him before replying back to her and Andy in a amused tone ''I am wearing a power suppressor bracelet so I could not of made something like. And trust me if I did actually make something like that it would be way worse....'' he said before pulling up his sleeve, revealing the bracelet on his wrist along with part of a symbol that was carved into his arm before he continued talking in a more even tone ''and to be quite honest I am not familiar in what a ''black parade'' is all things considered. This is my first time going to public school so excuse me for not understanding how to socially interact well and being impressed by Andy's powers.....or some of the other powers I am seeing for the first time.'' He stopped for a moment in thought, rolling his sleeve back down and sticking his hands in sweatshirt pockets

Sebastian continued in a more serious tone, his blue eyes glowing an icy glint as he glanced at her ''Oh yes....and just so you know Marionette isn't my dad....he's more like a surrogate older brother to me. Marionette saved me from dying of starvation alone in a alley back in Ironport and I had no where to go so he became my legal guardian and helped me recover. The only reason I am here and not in homeschool is because he wanted me to experience some degree of companionship and camaraderie that he could never have back when he was young because of his creepy appearance.'' Sebastian finished quietly, revealing that he has heard some of her comments from before and avoiding explaining what happened to his actual parents. He turned around and walked off back in the direction of the Danger Room hoping to help the coach fix whatever was going on.

Sings Loudly nodded, and reached out to extend his All-Shadows-Are-One spell to Nightstrike, [font=lucida bright]AIko[/font], and, if they are inclined to help, Bucky and Misty. Then he lead the way through the shadow behind the door into the fey realm Kami had created...

He emerged in a nook at the base of the huge tree, and looked around...

Bucky nodded at Sir Sings loudly and bowed respectfully, or as close to a bow of respect as a feline can manage!

*Ah, I suppose we must dispatch typical long form pleasentries, I am Bucky Ball, superpositioner.* Bucky nodded at Sir Sings Loudly and accompanied him into the pocket world.

__________________________

The massive tree within Kami's pocket dimension was something like a gigantic version of a Willow, old branches woven together at the bottom formed a stair case up to the top. The stair case was encrusted in crystal and flowering vines, but the combat must have come through here and one of halls built into the knots. Scorch marks, melting ice and deep gouges mar the surface of the tree. The sound of snarling can be heard from high up in the tree.

The nook they found seemed to be a hall built into the roofs of the massive willow, swamp sprawled around the tree in all directions, the source of the magic was up very high in the tree, where fairly stereotypical woven trellises arched and led into another alcove in the tree. The castle built into the tree didn't seem to go all the way up to where the tree forked and spread it's weeping tendrils, but only about half way up the thousand foot thing.

The alcove they were in seemed to lead to a ladder built through the center, perhaps an escape route from some chamber up above. The swamp and the tree's space all together seemed to be around four acres of space and at the edge of the space an odd rounded edge could be seen, the false sky it depicted seeming artificially stretched. In a few spots the artificial lighting of the hall outside could be seen, signs of stress on the dimensional fabric she covered the upper dimensions with.

"I dunno... I probably shouldn't..." He bit his lip while the instructor continued, showing them what happens to a piece of 'flesh' when exposed to liquid nitrogen by freezing a salami solid!

"And dis is vhy you should always wear goggles and safety glasses." The instructor nodded. "Dis could've been someones hand." He held up the salami and shattered the end off of it by whacking it on the counter. "Now, you will all need to bring back dese parental release forms." He handed them down the aisles. "And begin studying for the lab safety assessment at the end of the week. If you can not pass dis, you can not participate. " He set books on the front tables to be passed back.

"Craptasm..." Terry muttered as he stood back with most of the rest of the students, several feet away from the pulsing and growing orb. It had expanded another five inches since its growth slowed. He tapped his foot and watched it, eying the rest of the class... He definitely needed to invest in some kind of quick-change method for his costume, right now it was in the trunk of his car, and it looked like he'd need it. Though he didn't like the idea of showing his hero self much at the school, he didn't have THAT good of a disguise!

"Alright when we pass through the wall hold hands. Space and Time can be funny in a pocket reality, we could inter mere seconds and just inches apart and find out on the other side. It would be something along the lines of miles and hours, if not years or decades." He held his hand out to Sebastian "On the count of three we enter all together."

Misty looked around "It beautiful...Does this count as me going beyond my normal range? Oh what do we need to do in here?"

Cher walked up and shook her head "you listen about as well as a brick don't you?" She pushed the button for the emergency force field on the door and sealed it. "what part of stay back and let the adults handle it do you not understand creeper? first off your wearing power suppression so what are you gonna do give the bad shadow men a cold before you get power drained? secondly his creepy appearance you look like you front line for my chemical romance, which by the way is were that black parade reference comes from and is a band, if you KNOW that your creepy step-dad or whatever is creepy why in gods name would you dress LIKE him? annnd to round out this stiff dose of common sense, you look half freaking starved and about as big around as a telephone wire so entering into possible danger will likely only result in the coach in there having to save your stupid ass as well. which could get you or him killed. good intentions don't counter stupid moves"

Sebastian just smiled as he looked back at Cher, showing off his shark-like teeth as his eyes were full on glowing with icy blue ''Oh so that's what meant, sorry not familiar with that band. I am actually a more techno-ish person myself....'' Sebastian's demeanor suddenly changing, his smile becoming more fake before he took his power suppressor bracelet off and put it into one of his pants pockets, the air around him became significantly colder before he continued as he attempted to break the force field with barrages of ice shards, really not wanting to have this conversation and hoping to break the force field to avoid it ''Marionette is not my step-dad, he's just my legal guardian who happened to find me nearly dead as I was being hunted by Chasers and the Barons for damn near 2 months while I was trying to beat back starving to death! Mind you I nearly died many times before that because of the goddamn Barons!'' Sebastian nearly yelled out, not necessarily at her but because of how much of a hell that experience was for him in general before continuing in a more even tone, his face now contorted in a grimace as he focused more of his ice magic powers on the shield hoping to break it ''The way how I dress has nothing to do with him. Marionette dressed like that to stand out and some cases even scare the hell out of criminals or villains as his natural mutant appearance already creeped people out....I dress like this because I like it. And to be brutally honest I don't care about you judging me over my appearance but what I do find irritating is that I have done nothing to you insult me otherwise other than observe you and Andy interact with each other which I was pretty much forced to do as Coach told me to sit on a bench today which while admittedly it was for legitimate reasons it was quite boring....'' Sebastian said before increasing his power to make a large, stalagmite sized ice crystal

Sebastian continued on in more tired but determined tone ''I assure I am capable of defending myself considering I did it for a couple months, nearly every other day before my body decided to give out on me. The only reason I want to help the coach in the first place is because I hate sitting around and not being able do anything and he said anyone could follow him if they wanted to anyway. I am not someone who likes to be sitting on the sidelines even if the situation could very well kill me!''. Sebastian threw the large icicle at the shield, piercing it and opening it up large enough for him and another kid whom came running down the hall way to slip through before it closed. Walking up to the Coach as the other kid yelled something about....Kami?

As Sebastian was hoping to help get control of the rouge pocket dimension. Marionette was still stuck in the office, allowing Technosis to talk to the school counselor before him as he shook his head at the alarms going off.

''Well....can't say I am surprised. The school was attacked twice yesterday and was already attacked once today. Sebastian will be fine....he's definitely way more tougher then he looks considering the amount of knocked out criminals I found before I found him. I just hope no one causes him to trigger his PTSD....'' Marionette thought to himself

Sebastian slipped his power suppression bracelet back on while he grabbed Mr. Bolton's hand before urging Tobias to join them before they entered the pocket dimensions. There was no point to not have the bracelet on now. He expected Mr. Bolton to reprimand him for taking it off even briefly but he felt it was worth the punishment if he could help fix a potential dangerous problem. He hoped Cher didn't regard him to harshly for essentially ignoring her attempt to stop him but he figured that she probably would not like him too much either which way.

Sebastian walked into the pocket universe after Coach Bolton. Keeping an eye on the portal from the other side to make sure Tobias got through safely as it was confirmed he was Kami's brother. While he was waiting for Tobias to enter he chuckled nervously in response to the Coach's observations of what he just did to get in here to simply help before speaking embarrassed ''Yeah...sorry about that Coach. I have a tendency to be impulsive when I get an idea in my head of wanting to essentially help ''save the day'' as those cheesy cartoonized heroes say. And Cher wasn't helping my mood very much....I don't like feeling useless''

''Really? Oh wow I never would of guessed that there would be a mage that could do that...well that's all the more reason to help Kami...'' Sebastian commented to Tobias before dark energy flared up in his hands, he focused it on the ground hoping that this pocket dimension would have some kind of skeletal remains at the very least that he could summon to help him. Those muscled imp looking things looked rather tough and he wasn't sure if they were actually sentient or just manifestations of a spell so his ice and plague magic were out as he didn't want to test that.

Nightstrike signed to Lexi to spread out and scout the area. She stalked off around one end of the tree, her movements fast, precise, and silent. She paused every fifteen seconds and looked around, her helmets visual and aural sensors amplifying her already superhuman senses. Whenever she stopped, her armor rippled and blended into the environment, further helping to conceal her presence.
