[IC] Athalia Academy: Season Two - Finding Bael

[Ebil Bunny]

- Dani -
Dani took a deep breathe and closed his eyes.
Come on, Zivon. Don't make me do this. Dani thought with a sigh. But it seemed like Zivon was really not having a good day.
Well, here goes nothing...

Dani disappeared. He reappeared into Zivon's brain, and started hammering Zivon's brain with thoughts of kitty fur balls, icecream, friends, sunshine, cozy naps, and other comforting things in hopes of changing the course of his friend's thoughts. Of course, the panicking boy probably wouldn't even notice Dani was there. The only way anybody would notice they were being possessed was if they 1: Saw the spirit enter them, 2: realize the thoughts weren't their own, or 3: the spirit chose to let them know.

- Annie -

She grinned as Ryuu began to show signs of fear that slowly changed into excitement. Soon, the boy was falling toward her, a fist racing towards her face. The grin faded as she side stepped and grabbed Ryuu's wrist. She used his own strength to pull him around and throw him toward the wall.

"Strength is nothing if you don't know how to use it." She chided him, her hands on her hips. "While using gravity to your advantage is good, it also leaves you vulnerable to more combat knowledgeable enemies. I'm not some street punk, I won't go down by strength alone." She continued, walking over to help Ryuu up. She pulled on his wrist and pulled him close to her face. "Most fighting is a fight of wits. Who can out smart who. Strength is just the foundation on which you stand." She growled at him.

A soft smile grew on her lips as she let him go and backed away a bit. "Now. Try again." She told him, her hands held behind her back. "What sort of move could you use to affect me? Surprise me." She continued, narrowing her eyes.

Save

She floated about in the screen lying on her back in mid air watching the front camera at Cyber. 'Why am I even here again' She didnt really know what happend back there but she kind of misses to be real again. She stared at Cyber in deep tought about it but shook her head when Cyber asked her what to do "Umm, its hard to think of something when we cant swim nor do something. We could explore the island a bit more to see if there is even more to do then we hoped." She replied, facing him while she was floating upside down.

[NaraK]

Ryuu Yamauchi

The otaku found himself flying toward the wall, slamming against it with a humorous mix of confusion and pain.

"WNEIFLNAJKSDFWAF?!!?!?"

Sh- Holy sh--! Ryuu thought in surprise, his open mouth silently screaming its way down to bite the dirt. This woman's damn strong! No wonder she's a frickin' teacher!

The sunglasses-wearing student landed with his elbows straightened, preventing him from falling like a total idiot. He did have to pluck his face off of the ground, however. Getting thrown to a wall by his wrist was technically not such a rare sight in his frighteningly crazy household, but it had been such a long time since he actually met someone so much stronger than him in terms of physical strength. This woman... could, perhaps, mold him to the point where he could actually survive in this freaky school! After all, if he had one thing he was confident in, it would be-

...

...

...

...What was it again? Oh yeah, he just got his a-s kicked to a gigantic monster on his first day in Athalia. Physically. So much for confidence.

...But damn, that hurts.

Ryuu saw Annie walk up to him as she lectured him,

"Strength is nothing if you don't know how to use it. While using gravity to your advantage is good, it also leaves you vulnerable to more combat knowledgeable enemies. I'm not some street punk; I won't go down by strength alone."

...On another note, I haven't really thought about that, Ryuu said with a barely enlightened look on his face. I better stop jumping around like I'm some mock-up ninja or something...

She then pulled the otaku up by his wrist. Somewhat startled by the abrupt action, he raised an eyebrow as he heard Annie growling at him,

"Most fighting is a fight of wits. Who can out smart who. Strength is just the foundation on which you stand."

"..."

Ryuu gulped, feeling Annie's grip slowly loosen. Only when she smiled did he nod. So not only was this person intimidating, but she knew a lot more about fighting than he did. Better than him, for sure.

"Now. Try again," she said, catching the sunglasses-wearing student's attention once more. "What sort of move could you use to affect me? Surprise me."

Surprise...? Ryuu thought as time froze.

Wait... oh sh-t. Surprise moves? Without my plasma powers? Oh... Oh CRAP! All this time, I focused on using my plasma powers for that stuff! Why on Earth did I do that if I can't beat someone in a fist fight!? I mean, sure, she's crazy strongBUTSTILLTHATWASSTUPIDOFME HNGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Er... um...

F--K IT! I'm gonna do this... without getting murdered... hopefully...

The otaku put on his stance again, though this time, he kept in mind that an airborne attack would practically allow her to pwn him again. After thinking of a move that could surprise her without using his powers, Ryuu finally thought of one. It was an idea he just came up with, though he did not know if his own body was capable of being flexible enough to perform it.

Ryuu dashed forward with one step before leaping a small height at his second step. Instead of using his falling power to empower a haymaker, however, the otaku did a quick spin, faking a haymaker rather crudely, before building up the momentum of his spin once he reached the ground. As he spun around one more time, he attempted to perform a leg sweep to catch Annie off-guard, though he personally had no idea if this particular move would even work.

He felt his back make a weird noise, but he immediately decided to ignore it due to his fear of finding out just what the sound meant.

–Zivon-

Zivon felt somewhat…happy all of a sudden, it was weird for him. It was a small headache then it went away soon his thoughts of fear and anxiety disappear to happiness and warmth. He felt really warm and started to giggle oddly, at the back of his mind there was a thought that this really isn’t suppose to feel or think yet that thought went away like the other negative thoughts. He stood up and began to laugh even more. “Hahaha!! Heavy item! They are so heavy! Heavy heavy!” He swing around some rusted dumbbells around in circles while laughing like a drunk idiot. Now where have this happen before? He continue to spin around with the heavy object until he accidentally let it go and it flung all the way to nearly hit the scary guy with the sunglasses and the red head while doing some weird fighting thingy but luckily it hit no one. Zivon fell on his butt as he let it fly away and began smile and wave his hands around. “Sorry! “ He shouted as he sat on the floor, swaying around like a drunken man.

–Cyber-

Cyber looked at the upside down Save and nodded with agreement. “ That sounds like a nice idea Save. But I guess I brought the wrong outfit to wear if we go exploring…” He looked at his dress and the swim suit in his bag…. They are defiantly not proper clothing for exploration… he shrugged it off and looked at Alistair waiting for an answer. “Well we have that choice! You want to lead? I mean you did stay here for a long time in this island right? Well you did say you only stayed at the forest but have you seen anything else in the forest? Maybe something magical and cool? Maybe waterfall…yet again… water…” He laughed at what he said and looked at the greenery around. Maybe there is something more to the island, maybe something more hidden.

[Animelover_princess]

- Alistair -
he thought for a few seconds, then a smile crossed his face. "i know somewhere, i think you'll like it, hopefully Save will to" he took her hand "follow me, we'll have to go the long way to avoid the fairies but i think it'll be worth it" he started walking, gently pulling her hand. he saw a flash of light on the edge of the forest. he walked slowly, skirting the edge so until he found the easiest path to where he wanted to go. he lifted up the branches graciously "after you ladies"

[FaithsRose]

- Little Feather -

Lion had sensed he may have surprised her with his comment he was glad she giggled at his apologetic nuzzling. Little Feather’s stress had increased as at first Drow didn’t seem to understand what the young Lakota had meant and created more squiggles to show them.

Little Feather and Lion watched Drow questioningly as she seemed to fall quiet for a long while with her finger pressed against her forehead. Lion flicked his tail absent mindedly across the bed, his ears flickering as he asker her about her evening. He raised the ridge above his left eye as the blonde shook her head rapidly at him and turned her gaze to her food. He flicked his ears back unsure why she seemed so against talking...well he had only recently started talking himself but that was different in his mind. Have I said something I oughtn’t? He rumbled to his companion. Little Feather moved her gaze from Drow to Lion and simply lifted her shoulders in a shrug, before mimicking his rumble. I haven’t the faintest idea what you two are even talking about... the Lakota had just turned her attention back to Drow when she noticed the change in her body language she looked ready for a battle rather than a conversation. “...You ok Drow?” Little Feather asked tentatively, frowning as the girl finally spoke. Her tone was so soft at first it was hard to believe it was actually coming from Drow in the first place, it seemed to directly conflict the body language she was displaying.

Lion on the other hand had that acute animal sense he knew despite the blondes standoffish approach she wasn’t vying for a battle just preparing herself, he easily picked up on the tension where as Little feather was clearly not in tune with her surroundings at this moment. Lion’s jowls lifted in a grin as he wagged his tail happily at Drow’s response, he released a rumbling chuckle as she went bright red and pushed her face into his soft pelt trying to reach around his massive body with her small arms. “Oh come on, it wasn’t that bad talking to us...I am glad to hear you had a good evening” Lion told her, looking to Little Feather who was still completely confused over what the conversation was about, she gave an annoyed huff at the lion feeling irritated with him for not educating her on the matter. “Drow...?” Little Feather called, pushing her hair away from her face and sliding a section behind her ear. “Would you like to go exploring with us today?” She asked the other girl, getting up off of the bed she placed her plate down and moved over to an unpacked bag crouching next to it she rummaged through pulling out the same clothing she normally wore...she couldn’t handle another day of modern clothes.

“I’m not really sure of where to go or what to do, any ideas?” The young Lakota asked as the Lion softly butted Drow’s side with his broad nose. “I can be ready in 5 minutes...but I’ve got to go back to the lounge as well. I think I left my headband there last night” She admitted to Drow, gently touching the reddy brown smudge spread across the bridge of her nose, she needed to get herself sorted.

Macbeth and Thane

Thane said

...

Macbeth said

...

The two demon officers stared at a tiny creature that entered the room. The little creature was a tiny spider. For some odd reason, it managed to infiltrate its way into Thane's dojo. Now, the ninja particularly disliked spiders, but at the same time, he was not the type to freak out and destroy his own home. Sitting in the middle of the dojo, Thane and Macbeth kneeled over to observe the little thing remain still.

Thane said ]

...Macbeth, go bring the Raid, will you?

Macbeth said

...

Macbeth misunderstood Thane, so instead of bringing a Raid can, he brought in a... raid. Before the raid began to attack the dojo, Thane quickly shut them all up before commanding the second lieutenant of the raid army to... spray Raid at a spider. As he dismissed the entire army, everyone noticed how he looked as if he were ready to punch the floor out of anger.

- Dani -
Dani fizzled back into reality then froze. Zivon was laughing his head off and rolling all over the floor.
"What... Have... I... Done?" Dani asked, eyes wide. Who knew it would be that easy to send Zivon over the top? This was not good.

Dani sat down and began trying to think of a way to fix Zivon. Going back into his brain was out of the question. He had done enough damage that way. The hardest part about this situation would be to calm Zivon down without giving him another panic attack. Dani thought of three things he could do.

1. Talk to him
2. Slap him until he calmed down
3. Walk away and act like nothing happened

Even though he was tempted to do number three, he settled for number one.
"Zivon? Zivon! Calm down a bit, please?" Dani called.

[DELETED7282737]

Save

Save popped up in her normall size out of the phone floating above Cyber "Those are fine, going back isnt a option now." She said while looking around her to scan the area. It didnt look familiar to her at the moment but it might come up to her a big later. She floated on her belly when the other began walkimg while still floating above him. Save looked down andfelt lazy for not being able to walk with them but its just how it is. She gave a chuckle at Alistair when he holded up the branches "Thank you" she smiled gently down at Alistair and floated above Cyber right through the branches "Show us what it is, I want to know."

Drow

To tired to post right now coming up tomorow when i might have time.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Zivon-

Zivon kept giggling and smiling until Dani told him calm down but looking at him, he threw himself to Dani and hugging him tightly. “Dani! Dan-i! Hi! Hi!” He giggled and continued to hug his tall friend. “Hi! Hi! Dani! Hi! Hugs! Hugs!” He snuggled tightly on him and making sure he won’t let go, he looked up at him and gave out a really happy and warm smile. “I like hugs! Hugs are special! People don’t like hugging me! They like to beat me instead.” He said with out knowing what he actually said, he seemed to be too much in a happy mood to even notice it. “Punch and kick! Kick and punch! Right at the face or the stomach! Too many times! So hug! Hug!” Zivon just kept on smiling, before he was afraid of getting hugs but since he was such in a happy (yet like drunk) attitude he just couldn’t stop hugging him. “So no beating! I no like beating just hugs!”

–Cyber-

Cyber nodded as he walked with Alistair who took his hand towards the forest, as he heard fairies he couldn’t help to get agitated and annoyed. He was still pissed at Alexandria… he sweared that he would not make Alistair go back and she even warned, his left eye twitch just being reminded of that. “Okay… but if I see Alexandria trying to bring you back I will make it my pleasure to make you don’t come back.” He said to him, reviving the promise he made yesterday. He walked through the branch that Alistair lifted toward him and Save. He looked up to her and waved. “Hhmm… Well I have lots of questions about you Save… if you don’t mind me asking but you said you were my classmate before I moved to Athalia right? I am trying to remember but… I kind off don’t remember… So might telling me a bit more?” Cyber asked her as he continued to walk with Alistair and saw a small light. He wondered what was Alistair going to show to the both of them.

[Ebil Bunny]

- Dani -
Zivon ignored what Dani had said and began hugging him instead. Dani sighed.
I hoped I didn't have to do this, but I guess it's time for plan B... Dani thought. He hesitated once more before raising his hand to prepare to slap Zivon. Not hard, but enough to shock him out of his strange mood.

...like to beat me instead. Punch and kick! Kick and punch! Right at the face or the stomach! Too many times!" Zivon continued rambling. Dani frowned guiltily and quickly put his hand behind his back. So much for plan be. Either he had to go with Plan C, or more preferably, make a new plan C.
"Okay Zivon, I'm gonna quickly go to the ocean, then come back. Or you could come with me?" Dani asked, not really expecting a clear answer. He then grabbed his friend's wrist and began half leading, half dragging him towards the ocean.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

–Zivon-

Zivon looked towards his friend, it looked like he was about to hit him but quickly put his hand behind his back. He titled his head and tried to hold Dani hand tightly. “What? What? Hand! What ya going to do? “ He asked him holding his hand tightly."Were you going to hit me? Hit?” He used Dani hand to slap himself at the face lightly almost simulating what could have happen. Then Dani grabbed his wrist and started to sort of lead him somewhere and talked about ocean. “Ocean? Ocean! Swim! Swim! I want to swim! I can’t swim! I suffocate! I can’t breathe! Swim swim!” Zivon shouted in a gleeful tone as he was happy to be with his friend but there was something in his head that he was forgetting… like bento lunch boxes? He shook his head, forgetting the matter and walked closer to Dani and hugging him again while walking. “Lets go! Ocean! Swim! What are we going to do there Onii-chan?” He looked at Dani with big bright eyes and calling him Onii-chan, he knew some Japanese from his dad so it was normal for him to say Japanese words time to time.

[Ebil Bunny]

- Dani -
Dani stopped. Onii-chan? Where had he heard that before? A spark flew on his mind before it quickly disappeared, leaving a slight head ache.
Dani shook his head to clear it then continued towards the ocean. It wasn't that far away, and they were there soon. The boy looked around for something, but couldn't find anything that could be used for what he wanted.

He jogged towards the ocean and put his hands in the water. It was warm. Dani huffed in annoyance. Of course it would be warm! They were in the tropics. Except he needed cold water.
It'll just have to do. Dani thought. He scooped up some water in his hands and flung it at his friend in hopes of clearing his head.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

-Zivon-

Zivon looked more at his friend as he jogged to the ocean to do something. Then all of a sudden warm water was splashed right at his face. He flinched and fell on sand as salty warm water stung his eyes a bit. "Gah!" He shouted as he rubbed his face then that happy feeling he had earlier seemed to fade away quickly. Until he wiped most of water of his face he started to feel a bit surprised and sad. Wondering why his friend would do that...He looked back at Dani and felt terrible. "Wh-what hap-pen? W-hy a-re w-we he-re?" His happy tone faded in his scared, shy timid voice. "Di-did I-I do-o som-ethi-ing wr-ong? Pl-please d-don't hu-rt me" He looked at the sand, turning back to his awfully timid and scared nature.

[Ebil Bunny]

- Dani -
Dani gave a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness your back!" Dani said, putting his hand on his forehead. "I can explain everything."

Dani took a deep breathe.
"Um... Back at the dojo, you were kind of having a mental breakdown. I tried to use my powers to help, but I apperantly did it a bit too well and you ended up... different. Very, very different. I had to throw water on you to turn you back. I'm really sorry." Dani said, drooping his head in shame.

[Driving Park]

Carmen

Carmen sighed in relief when Lily said that she hadn't disturbed her slumber. She wasn't sure how she felt about Lily's response about how she slept, though. On the one hand, her voice and inflections sounded convincing, but the condition of her face and eyes didn't match it. Carmen brushed it off once again as normal for Lily as she had no grounds to base it off of, and didn't give it a second thought.

She turned her attention towards the phoenix, and was about to respond to his lighthearted reply when she saw a familiar girl walking up behind him. Her hand went over her mouth to try to contain her chuckle, and she successfully did so until the point that the girl unceremoniously plastered herself on him. Carmen laughed. "Looks like you've got a friend there," she said, flipping her hair because Carmen. "You can come out, you know. I promise we don't bite," she said to the girl, really only half expecting any sort of response.

[HylianRose]

- Annie -

The young female teacher raised a brow as she watched Ryuu. He certainly was hard to read... He just... kind of... looked angry. Well... At least he had a good poker face. That was always a good thing to have. Then again, he was also highly unpredictable; another rather good... and bad trait. With a look of boredom on her face, she watched as he once again, jumped in the air.

You know... Doing the same move isn't exactly... surprising.

She rolled her eyes and prepared to step out of the way and reach for his arm. She hadn't expected the feint at all. However, she watched as Ryuu's leg made contact with her own. Suddenly, everything got very quiet as she simply stared at him, unmoved. It was very likely his leg was in a great deal of pain right now considering how tough Annie's entire body was. That sort of happened when you had even a fraction of a demon's strength inside of you. She was lucky the power didn't corrupt her. Then again, Lucifer never really did pick the right ones.

Suddenly, a bubble of laughter erupted from Annie's mouth as she doubled over, on her back now.

"That. Was. Hilarious! You... actually surprised me! But..." She spoke, another wave of laughter impeding her ability to continue speaking. "But you didn't know..." Another wave of laughter. Annie curled up into the fetus position, trying to calm herself down. It honestly wasn't that funny, but something about it made her want to laugh. A few minutes later, Annie was able to calm herself down and sit up.

"S-Sorry. Are you okay? If you hadn't surprised me, I would have had time to relax my leg muscles." She tried to explain, still giggling every now and then. "Anyway, I think that's enough for today. You'll need to get that leg checked out for sprains. I don't think you broke anything. Oh... And have them check out your back too. I heard some popping." She told him and then got up.

Unable to stop smiling, Annie walked out of the training area and towards her own living quarters. He would definitely be an amusing student, and not a bad fighter either.

- Lily -

She smiled, listening to Matt as he spoke. Glad that he'd slept well, her smile brighten a bit. Fading once again when she noticed a familiar child. Her expression turned into one more similar to that of a curious child. Without saying much, she simply watched the young girl as she clung to Matt. She put a soft smile on her face and bent down to the ground.

"Hello again, Little One." She greeted, her voice soft and warm. "I didn't expect to see you out here. Where are your parents?" She asked, staying a few feet away from Matt and the girl. "I'm sorry if we scared you the other day. Sometimes, things happen. I hope you'll forgive me?" Lily asked, tilting her head slightly.

[NaraK]

Ryuu Yamauchi

I DID IT! I ACTUALLY FEINTED IT!

Ryuu's eyes widened at the sight of him seeing his leg connect a successful attack.

Perhaps, it would have been better if he failed. For his leg never swept Annie off of her feet: it simply... simply...

Cracked.

"That. Was. Hilarious! You... actually surprised me! But... But you didn't know..."

The sound of Annie's laughter burned Ryuu's leg inevitable leg injury even further. Never had he suspected that the person would be as tough as a freakin' rock! Who the heck was she to have not budged from a powerful sweep like that?

Oooooooooooooooooor I could just be weak as hell compared to her, Ryuu thought quickly. I mean, seriously... if she could throw me into walls like that, I bet her punches could blow my head right off.

"Anyway, I think that's enough for today. You'll need to get that leg checked out for sprains. I don't think you broke anything. Oh... And have them check out your back too. I heard some popping."

Ryuu groaned in pain as she left the training grounds. Never did he think that successfully hitting something was actually worse than missing it. But... he still learned that he was not as slow as he thought himself to be. Maybe if he pushed himself further, he would become less predictable.

...For now, he really needed to... crawl... towards an infirmary or something. The otaku slowly got up from the ground, dusting himself, before slowly walking toward the infirmary... and that just had to happen in the morning.

[Ebil Bunny]

- Matt -
"Ack!" Matt yelped when he was grabbed. No matter how many times Margaret sneaked up on him, he still never knew she was there until too late. Stupid ninjas.
"Looks like you've got a friend there." Carmen said, while Lily said hello to the girl.
"So it does..." Matt murmured, trying to wrestle himself out of the girl's arms. However, he was putting very little strength into it, as he was afraid he would offend her if he pushed her away. If only there was a class about girls at the academy. That would have been a class Matt would have actually gone to.
