Hey Dioxide.

Academy of Heroes and Villains

As John opens his eyes, he feels a familiar sense of power coursing through his body. He begins to walk toward the wall of ice and calls out, "Oh Jackie boy. I'ma comin' for ya!" Suddenly, thick, white tendrils erupt from his skin, covering his arms and beginning to spread to the rest of his body. His arms shoot out, much farther than they have any right to, and pierce the frozen wall with ease. Now, utilizing the small hole, John's body seems to liquidfy as he oozes through the opening, then solidifying once more once he's on the other side. Looking from side to side with his mouth open, teeth bared and drool dripping off of them onto the ground.

As soon as he appears in the arena with the other students, Ben's suit forms and two weapons appear on him. Strapped to his back is the weapon he had been developing with Dick Grayson. The weapon, basically a five foot long staff, had a spearhead on one and and a scythe on the other. It could be divided into two hand held weapons with ease and the handles insulated Ben from any energy that might be directed at his weapon. Strapped to his hip was the silenced pistol Ben had been taking in his hunting trips and a belt of ammo. "Jack, John is coming for you. I'm going after Austin." Ben backs up from the wall, then sprints forward and leaps over it, staff drawn by the time he hits the ground. He lands just in time to see Austin cross to the other side. Ben sighs, then puts his staff on his back and chases Austin. He sees the studen on top of Katherine and, without hesitation, draws his pistol and shoots Austin in the leg. He quickly holsters his gun, draws the staff, and begins approaching the other two students.

Anthony, once again begins to experience a dirty, primitive, repulsive feeling. As his hearts are begins to quicken and his breaths become shallower, he closes his eyes. An expression of joyful remembrance overtakes his face, then, he opens his eyes. His eyes, now a deep shade of violet, seem to drown out the other features of his face as he approaches his team mates, attempting to keep them calm.

My gawd people, I have so much catching up to do.

Once all of the students were wearing the device, Minic taps a few buttons on the computer on his desk. Moments later, the students find themselves in a large, open field. Trees and other foliage grow thickly at the borders of the arena while a briskly flowing creek divides the area in equal halves. An inpenetrable force field forms the boundaries of the arena, starting just beyond the trees and extending three hundred yards into the air, forming a dome. The students are grouped with their team mates, one team on each side of the creek. The diameter of the circular arena is two miles.

I'll hopefully be able to add the new characters to the Character List tonight. However, I'm going to be in the middle of nowhere, so no promises. Dioxide, do I need to take Sue off or leave her on?

@Dioxide: They can't show up at the school already knowing how to fight, remember?

@Dioxide and/or Klyix: Whichever one of you sees this first may decide whether to accept Gyrin's character as is, or if they need to change it.

I need to try to find a way to describe Ben's weapon.

John nods gratefully and takes the burger from Kat. By the time they reach Mimic's class three minutes later, the cheeseburger had disappeared and John seemed slightly perkier. When Connor picks him, John walks over to join the others, his confident swagger back once again. Then, as Kat is picked by Katherine, he sighs, "We're so royally fucked."

Ben joins Katherine's team, smiling when he sees a younger girl that's obviously very excited. "Did you drink too much Red Bull with your lunch or something?"

Unlike the others, Anthony remains in his seat, even after being chosen. The only sign that he gave Connor to indicate that he had heard the decision was a slight nod in Connor's direction.

Once the teams had been decided, Mimic places a large box on his desk, then opens it. Inside are devices that looked very similar to the helmets used in Battle Simulation class, but with far fewer wires. "The two teams will be fighting each other in a simulation, kind of like in B.S. class." After a short pause to chuckle at his own quip, Mimic continues, "However, you'' be aware that this one is just a simulation, unlike in the Martian Manhunter's class. If you're the type of person that uses weapons or gadgets, you'll be able to choose three. Connor and Ben, your suits each count as one. Any questions? No? Then Ryan, pass out these hats."

I think it's hilarious that Katherine picked Ben before her boyfriend.
