James looked around the hangar they were already in, ya jet is still right there, like 15 feet away from him, he might get there in 10 minutes, might, he walked towards sam and harkin both of whom were just right outside the jet.
"so time for use to finally leave, no more distractions" he told them as he walked up the ramp
In New York city Pintar was in hiding from the hive infestation.
Pintar a being who has powers based off of mirror's such as reflection and glass manipulation he is currently a bounty hunter and a sadistic one at that. Pintar's last match damaged him for life for his full powers have been blocked permanently by Hitosu "Hmph well I may have some of dad's ability can't wait for you to see you again Hitosu my half-brother". Pintar hid from the creatures he slashed ,gutted and,murdered "Hmph these creatures are weird they remind me of bees they stand no match against me"
Pintar hid in his base and waited for his moment to come
Pryce lay on his bed, trying to think. It seemed to him like the teachers at this place were stepping up the teaching, and attempting to shove all of existence into his head. Almost, Pryce thought, like they're trying to forget something themselves. After last night, though, he could understand. What he didn't understand was why everyone seemed to think whatever had happened was a dream. At least, some parts of it weren't. Pryce shuddered slightly as his thoughts turned back to that night. He sat up quickly, remembering that Bennu was also in the room.
She sat on her own bed, and from her face seemed to be sharing his thoughts. "There's something going on," she mused aloud. "That Strike Force thing is moving around, and there was an incident at some club nearby, Club Thunder." Bennu smiled suddenly. "Of course, someone was trying to keep that one quiet. And then there's the dream thing at the school, and that guy you saw." With a sigh, she lay back, looking at her hand.
Pryce simply nodded and said, "Well, it's certainly not boring here."
"True," Bennu agreed, "But I don't like feeling helpless before all of it." In an instant, Bennu was on her feet and at the door of the room. She gave no sign of being tired, but then, Pryce had never seen her succumb to fatigue. Pryce got up and followed her, going through several hallways. "Um, so what are we doing?" Pryce asked.
"Dunno," Bennu replied, waving a hand. She continued walking across the school, waving away any attempts by Pryce to find out what she planned. Eventually the two had reached the edge of the school grounds. Bennu stopped to look around and, seeing nothing, turned to Pryce. "Okay, Club Thunder isn't far from the school. We can make it if we hurry."
Pryce stopped walking, dumbfounded. "What? Why?"
"I told you I was getting to the bottom of this," Bennu said. "And I don't like sitting on the sidelines. We came here to learn to be heroes, didn't we?"
"Not like this..." Pryce muttered, but he followed.
The urge by now had grown too powerful. Katt and Andy where both outside. Though he knew Katt was a skilled enough fighter to protect her and Andy from the previous nights events he still felt the natural urge as a husband and father to protect his family . Still the danger had passed by now but he still needed to see with his own eyes that his babe and son were alright. “Hold that thought Xanatos. I need to see something right now.”
Katt stood looking at the office door eagerly waiting like a puppy to see it’s master. Once she heard Ben pause the meeting she waved her hand toward Andy to come stand next to her. As the door opened a gentile smile spread across her face as Ben was the first thing she saw. As always she walked up toward him with a sassy sway but stopped once she noticed Xanatos. “What is he? He doesn’t smell.” She took a pause as she inhaled his cent only to scoff it out.” Human” She couldn’t place her finger on it but whatever he was she made sure to make the point she didn’t approve of it.
With a grin Ben began to explain who this stranger was.” Babe he’s the new teacher here, what he is we shouldn’t care about. He’s here to help us. Don’t worry love.”
DJ sat inside the jet with a annoyed expression on his face. He had held his tongue for too long now. “That is it!!! Everyone get your asses in here now. We are leaving NOW!!! ” He made his way toward the controls of the jet. He began to press a series of buttons and keys which brought the jet engines to a roar as the launch doors opened. “ Computer set a autopilot course for New York City, New York. Landing point will be NYC safe house.. When within 5miles of the city enter stealth mode with all shields at full power.”
((Time to come back 😄))
"Well done" Leon said, sounding thoroughly amused as he sat down next to DJ. "You managed to override the coordinates and enter the exact same information I entered five minutes ago. The shielding, I didn't think of, so you get bonus points." Leon leaned back in his seat. He would have gone for a VR training session, but there wouldn't be enough time. They weren't flying around the world this time - Just across the country.
DJ rolled his eyes at Leon’s remark. “Yeah well I wouldn’t have to if you people learned a bit of timeliness. Who knows just how many New Yorkers have died on the count of you all. We have responsibility’s now, could it kill you all show a bit of discipline when dealing with matters such as this?” DJ turned to his seat without waiting for Leon’s reply.
"That's rich, coming from you." Leon retorted, still smiling. "The jets just about to leave, so I'll go grab a bite to eat, even though the jet has food stocked - Sound familiar?" Leon shook his head. "The only reason I extended the time was because everyone was running around like a headless chicken. We should have gone yesterday. We had no obligation to stay and deal with something the teachers could have handled by themselves - Even more-so because we didn't accomplish a damn thing."
“If you’d check the food stocks boy scout you’d notice that’s a bunch of flavorless crap. Despite even if others were running around who’s the one sitting around talking about I’m the white ranger like this is some Saturday morning cartoon. Most of all don’t make it sound like we stated here out of our own will. Harkin vanished to do whatever. She is well able to get to NYC on her own, or maybe you must have hit your head during whatever happened last night. We didn’t stay by our own will Leon.” DJ reached over toward his I-pod.” Now if you don’t mind lets just do this. On a totally different note I brought a few things I’ve been working on. A pair of wrist bands which absorb energy and redirect it into kinetic energy.”
Sam took her seat before the jet lifted off, she was right behind the two boys and heard everything they were saying but for the sake of them finishing they're arguing she stayed silent. Sam felt better after her talk with Harkin, it was mush needed, she didn't like feeling uneasy around her parents and it would hinder the mission if she had her mind only on the events of last night.
Sam sank back in her seat and put on her ear buds to her iPod on and slowly got lost in the music "Catch me, heal me, Lift me back up to the sun I choose to live..." she sung a long to the song she was listening to but then stopped. She sat up and faced the front, "DJ is the pie head robot guy...what was his name...Alpha!" she said with a chuckle then went back to her music.
Leon was silent for a moment, trying to absorb what Sam had just said. He completely forgot his witty and scathing retort he had prepared to put DJ in his place. "Well... Now I've heard everything." he muttered, settling back into his seat. He had, without a doubt, the strangest crew of superheroes ever. He placed some VR goggles over his head to meditate in silence. The ship's computer would alert him when they were close to New York.
-Back-
Hitosu Sat in the jet still sitting and waiting for the jet to take off he waited playing songs by Mudvayne,Incubus,and Simple Plan he waited for a while then he drifted off asleep.
-Hitosu's dream-
Pintar over shadows Hitosu and all seems lost "Hmph you feel the familiar aura don't you even though I don't have your powers it doesn't mean we aren't the same".
Hitosu looked at himself and saw he was in the same clothes as Pintar his hair was the same way he even had a pierced glare "hahahaha see what I mean your no different I bet your friends would hate you if they were to only know".
Rock,Kaida and Bonnie already started attacking him. Hitosu tried to talk reason to the others but no words came out he was suffering blow by blow
-At the school-
Teara sat down waiting for for the perfect moment to leave the room she walked down to the hall and went in the administration office she saw Bushido and Okazu "Hmm got your schedule yet Bushido"
Bushido looked at his mother "No mom not yet"
Teara looked with disappointment *sigh* "Hold on" Teara went on the computer and got Bushido's Information "here you go" your room is with your roommate Okazu
Okazu went to Teara "thats me i'm Okazu"
Teara looked at the boy with surprise "Your a little boy"
Okazu looked a little offended "Don't mock me for my size im pretty smart for my age and I'm ready to use my powers for a good use"
Teara looked intrigued "Well young man it seems you have the moxie for a great hero but you need to also be responsible ok"
Okazu blushed a little he was being treated like an adult "I will and can you do me a favor"
Teara "Why I will whats the favor"
"Can i get my program as well"
"Why sure"
Teara looked up Okazu's information and printed out his program "Here you are i'll see you later"
Bushido waved "Bye mom"
Okazu and Bushido went to there room Okazu went on his bed "Night Roomy"
Bushido went to sleep mode as well "Night"
DJ turned around to face Sam. “ Thank you for the compliment Sam. Your right this little around about wouldn’t be able to set up a tractor beam without Alpha. Oh by the way his name isn’t Alpha; it’s Alpha 5.Which gives me a idea when we get back home. “ DJ turned back to face his laptop. “Up load all video footage of The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queen and Staten Island dealing with hostile abnormal beings. “ As the footage played on the screen DJ raised his brow at how these things where taking out people. “Amazing. They took over these boroughs without hardly any trouble. ..send recent footage to safe house. Also update cases of these things outside of the city.” To DJ’s relief they hadn’t found a way out of the city . “ What where this things prone to again? I know fire worked in my encounter last time.”
Club Thunder looked like a battlefield. Something had knocked the large doors off their hinges, and one of the skylights on the roof was completely shattered. Inside, it was worse. There was some kind of black residue everywhere, and though there seemed to have been a valiant cleaning effort, the gunk stayed where it was, mostly concentrated to the plumbing. A particularly large amount was on the floor near what might have once been a vent at some point. There was blood, too. It had relented under the cleaning, but brown blotches still dotted certain areas. There were some spots that didn't look cleaned, yet also were clear of any blood or goo. Pryce decided that those places were where the bodies had been. They weren't there now. Pryce then decided he didn't like this place.
"We shouldn't be here," Pryce started, looking at the crime scene tape they'd crossed, still covering the door, "we really, really, shouldn't be here."
"I know," Bennu said, inspecting several scorch marks on the floor, "but there's got to be some kind of clue here as to what's going on. There are so many things happening at once, I just want to make sense of it."
She knelt down to examine some of the black residue, looking back at one of the walls. It was obvious something had hit the wall at a decent speed; cracks in the wall, as well as more of the black substance splattered all over it, were a testament to the force of the attack. It was definitely the work of a super. Bennu aproached the wall, reaching out a glowing hand as if she were using a flashlight.
"Strike Force was fighting a super," she said quietly. "I'll bet you anything that person could control this black stuff. Ugh, it smells terrible."
Pryce nodded. It had been what he was thinking, too. Pryce moved to stand next to Bennu, and reached out his own hand, though his was trembling.
"Don't touch it!" Bennu whispered fiercely. "We don't know what it is. It could be some kind of acid or something. Or poison."
Pryce hesitated, but hovered his hand just next to the wall, and opened a tiny crack in the void. Darkness covered a circular section of the wall about the size of Pryce's hand as he absorbed the light and other energies of the wall. It was strange, but Pryce thought he could tell just what it was he could absorb. Light felt sharp, like a needle or blade, while heat still just felt like heat, though both sensations were so faint they barely registered. But there was one more, that felt like a weird expanding pressure, trying to grow.
"It's alive," Pryce said finally, his voice shaking. His hand fell back from the wall, and the darkness retreated, revealing ice covering the spot where Pryce's hand had been, and the black goo, now shriveled up. "It's alive, or it was before I just killed it. If it's poisonous, it'd have to be some kind of biotoxin. Same with acid."
It would be difficult for Pryce to acknowledge that he was interested now. He was still terrified, constantly wondering if they would be caught, or if whatever happened to the club would happen to them. He caught himself looking over his shoulder again, and turned to face Bennu. If this stuff was alive, the super must have been able to produce more of it. It might even have been able to reproduce itself. Pryce shuddered. The stuff around them now was just residue. It couldn't have been enough material to spawn anything, could it? It wasn't even enough material to move by itself....
"I think all of this is one organism," Pryce continued. "It all moves together. I don't think brute force could kill something like this, either. There can't be only one attack. Bennu, we need to get out of here before something else happens. We can keep doing research once we're in a safer place."
Bennu nodded, surprised at Pryce's sudden change in demeanor. "Alright, I gotcha. Let's get out of here."
Originally posted by VenomancerLeon sighed. He just couldn't sit down and meditate this close to a mission. "Just about any attack worked, as long as there was no physical contact." he said, answering DJ's question. "The problem is that it pulls itself together, or merges with another bit of slime, and if it doesn't, there's usually a lot more waiting for you." He couldn't actually hear the others, the VR goggles were drowning out the noise, but he had seen the footage through the VR simulation, after he had remotely accessed the laptop. It was as if he was inside the footage itself, though from his perspective, everything except for himself was in sepia tone. He could also see DJ's face and hear him as he talked. "Can you get the computer to analyze the footage and construct models of all life forms, not including humans?" He asked, looking around at the digitally recreated carnage. "I can see them just fine, but I want some fine details."
DJ turned around to face Sam. “ Thank you for the compliment Sam. Your right this little around about wouldn’t be able to set up a tractor beam without Alpha. Oh by the way his name isn’t Alpha; it’s Alpha 5.Which gives me a idea when we get back home. “ DJ turned back to face his laptop. “Up load all video footage of The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queen and Staten Island dealing with hostile abnormal beings. “ As the footage played on the screen DJ raised his brow at how these things where taking out people. “Amazing.

Also update cases of these things outside of the city.” To DJ’s relief they hadn’t found a way out of the city . “ What where this things prone to again? I know fire worked in my encounter last time.”
“Sure thing Leon. Enhancing the image to such quality won’t be a problem. Just having the computer key out things that we’d normal miss might be a tad be more difficult since pointers would display on this areas.” DJ eyes scanned the screen as the safe house image appeared. Nothing moved on the screen except for an occasional tree sway of the trees from the wind,. Had New York fallen? “Computer show sings of all life forms excluding humans. Animals, Supers, etc. Analyze infection levels of these beings incase this thing has found a way to utilize advance life forms as host. Show the Hive life forms in red, infected beings in green, infect animals in orange and normal life forms in purple. Bar graph the data of my recent command. While up loading areas with the most red.” As the computer followed through with his commands DJ rested against the set while thinking about what the city would be like. “Hey isn’t Jordan’s company Headquarters in the city?”
The VR image around Leon blurred and changed colour as DJ entered the information. He could now see, with much greater clarity, the creatures that had brought down the city. Leon frowned. "This isn't good. These forms are much more complex than what we dealt with at Club Thunder. Makes me think that the things at the Club were only scouts, compared to this attack force here." And it was true. Entire swarms of the little imp-like creatures were crawling around the digitized New York, while the one humanoid creature that Leon has attacked was showing itself here in the hundreds. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. The Hive was taking on much larger and more dangerous forms - Huge, hulking monsters, each with a random number of arms and legs, as well as fast quadrupeds the size of large dogs, covered with poisonous looking spines. Rivers of slime flowed everywhere, with grotesque hands and mouths breaching the surface here and there, as though trying desperately as anything passing by. "Maybe we're too late." Leon said, looking at the simulated destruction around him.
“No. We can’t be Leon. Sure these things are huge but what if we send the jet back to gather some of those students that have been showing progress. VR should train them well enough to help us. Plus if I can get a sample of this stuff I might be able to use it to our advantage. I have faith if not the former two that we are well able. Besides rumor has it even my kind attacked the super villains were fighting along side our teachers. Since the school use to be based just outside the city maybe a few of the guys are out there fighting and helping people”
DJ awaited Leon’s answer. Time was already against them at this point. Every moment wasted was a chance for this thing to learn how to turn Supers into it’s host. With New York already being a huge city Hero High would fall if in fact a army of infected Supers attacked. “Ok Leon I’m calling the school to get their advice while we set up at base camp. After the jet landed DJ stepped out into to what looked like a post apocalyptic environment. He could hear only the faint sounds of a car burning rubber. “Ok people lets try to hurry up and set up a perimeter incase those things try to attack. Sam. You and I need to place protection spells and hexes incase something should go wrong.” While he spoke DJ placed his right hand on the ground causing it to glow a bright golden color.
((I thought we were landing at a a HQ?))
It was one thing to see a VR simulation. It was another thing entirely to actually be there. Leon got out of the jet, a bubble of compressed force in each hand, and expertly surveyed the scene around him. After a minute of searching, he relaxed slightly. "I don't think the Hive have been here for some time." He told the others. "In fact, the markings around here suggest that they were somehow forced to flee this area. That is odd. They didn't flee from us back at Club Thunder. What could have driven them off?"
