Hero High 3: A New World

Leon calmed down after Janet's message. "Medusa, this is Strikeforce. Be advised, due to unforeseen circumstances we have formed an alliance with known villains. Try not to attack them when you enter the base."
A loud static sound nearly blew off Leon's communicator. "This... Ghost Squadr-... Two clicks from your pos-..."
"Ouch." Leon muttered, massaging his ear. "Ghost Squadron, this is Strikeforce, do you read me?"

"That was fast." Andrew noted dryly. "I'm afraid any business we had has been put on hold. Strikeforce just sent out a beacon. They want us in New York ASAP."

Gaku laid on the floor he was a little turned on with Zero on top of him till she got up as she apologized he sat up a little and gave smirk. " na it's okay that's what happens when you wake people you have to suffer the consequences. But in truth that was a little kinky." Gaku then reached up grabbing Zeros hand pulling him off the ground. Gaku reached into his pocket pulling out two tickets. "well I heard you and the wall fighting so I figured you where trying to leave then i remembered I had tickets to a concert and since your where trying to leave and I can why not come to the concert it will be fun it's bullet for my valentine playing in a show with 5 other bands come on come with me what do you say"_

Zero grabbed Gaku's hand and pulled him up to his feet when suddenly her feline ears heard someone approaching them then heard the soft voice of a female student, she really hated how this was quickly turning into a scene but at least they weren't teachers.
"That was the sound of my head meeting the business end of the wall," Zero said rubbing her forehead then pointing her chin to the small dent in the wall. "And I'm going to have to say no to your concert...I really don't even know what that is anyways," she replies to Gaku. She really had no idea what a concert was she had little interest in music or rather she had no time for it.
"I'm trying to sneak out to do some hero stuff, I mean we're heroes right so that means we should be out there saving people and beating up bad guys." she saod trying to hide her excitement of the idea of actually doing hero work.
The hybrid turns to the girl that just joined them, "so are you guys interested?" Zero asks already expecting them to say no but it didn't matter to her, she was going to go by herself anyways.

Bennu winced at the girl's story. For a second, her own forehead felt a flash of pain in sudden sympathy. Bennu touched her head a little and said, "Ouch, sounds painful." She briefly considered asking why the girl had slammed her head into the wall, but decided not to at the last moment. The boy there was saying something about tickets to a concert, though the girl didn't know what that was, another oddity, but Bennu was more interested in what the girl had to say.
"You're going to do some hero work?" Bennu asked, barely masking her growing excitement. This was definitely what she was looking for, no doubt about it. "It's almost morning, do you have a special errand in mind? I'll go, but we should be back by morning so no one will get suspicious. Oh, but first," Bennu added, holding out a hand to Zero and Gaku in turn, "My name's Bennu, nice to meet you."
Bennu hoped her touch wouldn't burn either of them, this far from Pryce, but she was doing her best to reign in the heat. As her mind turned to Pryce, Bennu realized she needed to him out there as well, if they were to get anything done. She sent a small but potent burst of power through her Transfer Ring, knowing that Pryce would sense it and come to find her; it was their own little form of ranged communication, especially useful since Pryce tended to drain cell phone batteries extremely quickly. A pulse of darkness and cold in the Transfer Ring told Bennu that Pryce had gotten the message, probably on his way now.

_______________

Pryce was still tired, but he hadn't managed any sleep yet. Having Bennu away alone worried him, not only because she might get into trouble, but because the further they got from each other, the less control they had over their powers. Either one of them could hurt somebody unchecked. Just as Pryce was about to get up to go find her himself, his Ring flashed with sudden heat. All it really told him was that Bennu was sending him some energy, but Pryce could guess the intention behind it: she wanted him nearby, too.
"This won't end well," Pryce sighed to himself. "Maybe I can pass it off as Hive research?"
Through the Ring he could probably find Bennu, but it would be mostly a game. The closer he got to her, the more energy the Rings could transfer, so he had to find her based solely on the given directions: getting warmer, or getting colder. This could take a while.

~opps wrong thread~

* Andrew I’m heading to New York City. Strike Force have been paired to work with beings such as Wraith and Ashlocke. They need us. If you or anyone else wants to join me then meet me near the jet in 20. I’ll be suiting up.* The Hive were a there to assimilate any organic matter that wasn’t already in their fold. “ I know so little about these beings but I better go with what I wore during the first war. Nothing long or flowing this time.” Within a few moments Janet had on her skin tight red one piece with her famous thigh high black high heel boots. She walked over to her red gloves and black sash belt. “Strike Force hold on”

“Villains? Alright. I read you loud and clear. Stone Gaze!!” Medusa shouted out causing every infected in her sight to become trapped in a prism fill of green energy. “So which member of Strike Force am I talking with, and where are the big guns at your school? No offense.”

Uriah just shook his head at what he saw. And we're supposed to work with these people, he thought to himself. If they weren't able to one off us with a raised eyebrow, I'd bet money we'd jump into action. Instead all we can do is just stand here and look stupid. It wasn't until he saw Caleb shaking his head that he remembered the mind-link.

He walked to the small kitchen to escape his friend's steely glare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simon had only fallen asleep a few hours ago. He had sent out the email informing the entire school of the small traces of Hive that Bennu and Pryce had found in the piping system as soon as he got back to his office. Right after he finished that, he put some info together to give to Julian.

As he made his way to the GO's office, he was surprised to find it empty. Figuring he was off doing something with the other GOs, he left the package in Julian's drop box and shadow-hopped back to his room. After showering, he flopped in the bed and fell to sleep instantly.

A few hours later, he got Janet's mental call. Letting out a big sigh, he shrugged out of bed and made his way to the hangar. Forgetting he wasn't in uniform, raced to the locker room and changed into his uniform. It was a black one piece short sleeve jumper with a thick, smokey gray streak running from the front of the neck to the bottom of the legs. It was the same pattern in the back as well.

He put on his black combat boots, which came up to his shins. He began walking back to the hangar as he was putting on his biker-like finger-less gloves. He met up with Janet, saying, "I thought the mini-mes had this thing under control. I didn't even get a good night's rest. Plus I had things to do with a couple of other students later this morning."

“Simon they had everything under controlled till they ran into a few friends of ours. Wraith and Ashlocke to name the most dangerous. I’ve been with them via psychic link but what I’ve seen is nothing like we’ve thought. All of New York City is plagued by these creatures. Animals, humans, supers. To make matters worst they’ve teamed up with Wraith and Ashlocke’s little family.”
While levitating herself into the air Janet kept her mind linked with the young heroes of Strike Force. “ Oh yeah Simon I could give you a mental boost if that’s what your asking. By the way I saw your e-mail. I take it some of u are going and the rest will be staying.”

Star followed Uriah into the kitchen. "I'm sorry for the way they are acting in there. The aren't always so rude . Maybe it's all the chaos that has them lashing out. Either way I'm star.I have the power to generate,and control light and heat. What about you Mr...?Uh I don't think I got your name."

Uriah looked at the villain with a disbelieving expression. "You've got to kidding me," whispered to himself. Letting out an exaggerated sigh of annoyance, he turned around and said, "My name's Uriah and you're evil from what I gather. So why are you talking to me? The only reason that you're even allowed here is because this city is going to hell."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simon was nodding as Janet was telling him things he heard a little about. When she said something about a boost, he declined. He didn't like doing things, working off of someone else's powers. "Nah. I'm fine. I just wonder who else is gonna join us. Katt told me that Ben is off on one of his little magical walkabouts but where is she? I could've sworn that she would have jumped at a chance to be here."

Sam led the other humans to the back room with the others, she thought it wise to keep them away from the villains, hopefully the villains will leave them alone in return she thought. They seemed to have lost some spirit as they sat in the corners of the room, "Sorry you guys must be hungry I'll see what I can find for you all to eat" she said with a smile then headed to the kitchen.

Sam had got to the kitchen to hear Uriah flip out on Star when she was trying to be nice, she felt she should say something but Uriah was right, in a way but still there was no reason for him to act like that. *Uriah calm down the last thing we need is to pick fights with these guys.* Sam passed the two and grabbed some energy bars and a one of the 5 gallon bottle waters and some plastic cups, she held the water with dark energy and it floated behind her as she moved. "Hello," she said politely and giving a nod to Star as she exited the kitchen and headed back the the humans.

"Sorry, since this is just an emergency base we don't have anything too tasty," Sam said with a frown then put the water and energy bars down on a table in one of the corners. Sam turned to face them and tried to give them a reassuring smile, "Well help yourselves," she said and turned to leave the room then turned back around like she forgot something. "Oh, it's probably best to stay in this room until we say other wise. I'll be back in a while to see if you all need anything," with that said she finally left the room and went back to the main room with the others and sat down on one of the chairs, she was so sleepy, it was morning and she felt like she hadn't slept for two days. Sam sighed and held her head in her hands, she was a little disappointed that they had already called for help but also relieved at the same time that back up was coming.

Zero smiled, "cool." she said then looked to the wall again, "Before I came back to the school I was hearing some talk of a group of small time supers grouping up and making trouble. They are a bunch of B-listers that don't show up on any of the heroes radiators so they get away with harassing the people in that neighborhood. I of coarse could handle them alone but meh the more the better I guess." Zero said still smiling then then to Gaku, "So what about you dragon boy, you in or not?"

Sam was right. Uriah was being a jerk. This whole thing had him on edge. But did it really make him a jerk if he was being rude to a villain? "Sorry, I guess. This whole Hive thing and working with the baddies has me a little amped.

"But if you don't mind, I don't wanna tell you my powers. You might use that against me. You know, cause you're a baddie and all." He looked to the floor. "Sorry. I just don't know how to interact with you. We were never taught how to interact with the enemy on...friendly terms? I guess..."

Uriah really was having a hard time trying to find the words. He was actually trying to be nice to the lady but his mind kept screaming at him that she was the enemy. Which was true enough. But as of right now, she wasn't doing anything wrong.

"So why are you one of the bad guys?" The question just slipped out. But he did want to know the reason. "Why do you like doing and being evil? What do you get out of it?"

Star looked down at the table. He was had to go and ask the one question she ran from the most. “Understandable Uriah. Anyway that’s not a easy question to ask. Me and my brother Nova Gamma wasn’t always like this. We where once good guys like you. Maybe you’ve heard of the cosmic twins? That was us till the government started up a program called S.E.P. It was meant to control supers and even aid us in our fight with some of the worlds most powerful baddies. Then one day on a mission with other heroes the robots that were helping us turned on us. It was a trap to get us to work side by side with the government by force. Only me and my brother made it out live. Through not without some major injuries. Nova was wounded to the point that his powers drove him mad. When he joined up with Ashlocke for vengeance I followed to protect him. Wouldn’t you do the same if it were your brother? Nova might get a kick out of it but I’m simply protecting my people and my brother.”

“Simon with Ben gone Katt isn’t going to leave Andy’s side. We both know she’d be the first in New York but that simply isn’t going to happen. I know her, Tori and Jordan or staying here incase something happens at the school.

"Hmm....," was all Uriah could say in response. He didn't think that was a good enough reason to do bad things. He was pretty sure that there was a way to protect someone without actually joining them in their miss deeds. But he couldn't really say. He was an only child and he wasn't good at putting himself in someone else's shoes. He did however, make a mental note to try to TRY to treat Star better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Andy's 13 years old now. And he can see the future. Why does he need Katt to watch him? I mean, I know she's gonna stay anyways because I know Katt but still. She has to let that kid grow up at some point in time. But I guess I understand.

I wonder when Ben is coming back, though? Katt said he left for the Spirit world a few minutes before I caught up to her. And with all the magicks that guy gets caught up with in that world, he could pop up any minute or months from now. I wonder how that works?" Simon headed towards the jet as he thought about this.

It was a good question. There were times when Ben went on a quest in the Spirit world and returned home moments after he disappeared into thin air. When he came back, however, he had stories that seemed like they took weeks to unfold. Other times it would be months before anyone saw him again. And when he returned, he swear that he was only gone for a few minutes.

At one point in time, Ben was gone for almost a year and when he returned, he had the appearance of a man in his mid sixties; complete with white hair and minute wrinkles on his face. Everyone was shocked. Ben explained that the laws of the natural world does not apply to the world of spirits. It was all so strange to Simon. Mainly because his realm, the Shadowlands, time flowed in sync with earth's.

After going over all if this in his mind, he again began to wonder who was going to go to New York with him and Janet.

Blayze sighed some and dragged rock to his lab

Pintar raced to the hero's HQ ravaging through as many creatures as if they were nothing "Goddammit how many of these things are there" Pintar was so close to the HQ nearly less then 50 yards away.

Hitosu picked up pintar's location he trembled on the floor "I-i-i-i-It c-can't b-b-b-e!!" Hitosu looked through his senses and saw Pintar fighting the slime creatures single-handed with no remorse. Hitosu started to enrage "Why,WHY IS HERE?!?!". Hitosu started to tremble he went on his knees feeling cold his aura started to swirl around him. *Control,control, control, control, control* Hitosu slowly began to be calm and more collective."I have to warn the others and soon" Hitosu went to look for Sam and the others he went to the kitchen and found Sam,Uriah,and Star."Guys we have trouble and Sam its who I mentioned before it's him" Hitosu said grimly

Rock struggling "Dont you dare run off without me!" she yells to Lance as she is hauled to Blayze's lab

They are a bunch of B-listers that don't show up on any of the heroes radiators so they get away with harassing the people in that neighborhood. I of coarse could handle them alone but meh the more the better I guess." Zero said still smiling then then to Gaku, "So what about you dragon boy, you in or not?"

Bennu nodded. "Alright, sounds good." This was Bennu's first actual hero experience, and she hoped she could pull it off. If the trouble wasn't enough for a certified hero, she figured she and Pryce could do it, especially if these two were there as well. "Oh," Bennu started again, "I've got a friend on the way, too, by the name of Pryce. He'll be joining us... now." She could feel the cold, first in her ring, then in the air itself, as Pryce approached their location. When he saw them, Pryce waved, and Bennu returned it.

"What is it?" Pryce yawned, covering his mouth. He introduced himself to Zero and Gaku, avoiding eye contact in more than quick looks.

"We've got some crime to stop," Bennu announced.

Wraith looked over a Hitosu who was being over dramatic in his eyes. Though his fear was feeding him for the time being. “ What are you so afraid of? Wait that power signature. Pintar… your in no way afraid of that clown are you? Sure he’s one of new A-lister but come on. Your standing here with the lord of hell and the dream world himself and you fear the lord of the glass realm?” Wraith brushed pass Hitosu with a annoyed look on his face. Within seconds Wraith had teleported outside. “ wouldn’t move any closer if I was you Pintar. This area has a protection spell around it that will not only stop you with a force field but impale you with Sia’Rathe magic. How about you tell me what are you doing here?”

Star looked over at Hitosu. “Who are we talking about?”

“That may be Simon but we both know the future is always changing. Besides what if she did go and for reason the hive infected the school and everyone in it other than Andy? He’d have to she the sure thing the whole time trying to save his own skin, but I’m sure Katt will back off in due time. She’s a feral. You know how they are about their young.”

“You know the astral plane and the spirit world are two of the most complex plans of existence I’ve heard of or been to. Like when Ben is gone for one of those long hual moments but comes back thinking it’s only be about 5 minutes when in fact it’s been 2 months or so. The astral plane is like that sorta. Only difference is we our bodies aren’t altered. Makes one wonder what happens to time in these places.”

"He is a dangerous person who has invaded our school he has caused too much pain". Hitosu could only imagine what might happen if Pintar was to play his mental games with him "Im not afraid of him but there is something about him that is causing me to feel weird"

Pintar notice Wraith "What does it concern you? and Who are you? You anyway? Are you working with these disgusting creatures?" Pintar dodged another creature and impaled it with a mirror shard

Hitosu's power started to slowly surge through him his started to glow a slight blue *Its happening again his presence is making my powers unleash*

“What does it concern me? Watch you mouth little man. Your talking to the god of Hell and lord of the Dream world. I am Wraith. Why on earth would I send such weak creatures to do my bidding?” Wraith’s cloak extended toward Pintar covering his left and right while stabbing any infected that got near it. “Now I think it’s time you explained just who are you lord of the glass.” Of course Wraith already knew who he was since he had been watching him since his stunt with the heroes last time.

Gaku waved at Pryce it was beginning to become a group thing. Gaku thought about it with the tickets in hand then he sighed crumbling his tickets. "It can't be helped you guys are lucky I get my tickets for free and the concert is going to happen for a couple days.... So troublesome I could have gotten on stage with my favorite bands but Zero you owe me I will go but your singing at my next performance got it ... Well anyway at the most I can only fly so much wait so Pryce and Bennu was it do you have away to get out if not I'll just have to take extra trips."

Uriah was looking at Hitosu like he was crazy. "If I come over there and slap you, will you get a hold of your self? Only you have control of your powers. And from the looks of things, you might want to get them in check before we're all impaled with aura needles or some thing.

"From what I remember, Pintar dosen't have any mind control powers. He can only make copies and reflections. If he came here looking for a fight, he'd get stomped on. You already know that. Now what's with you?"

Even though he was saying all of this, Uriah was shocked that those words were coming out of his mouth considering he was acting almost the very same way a little while ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah. Maybe someone should do some research- nah. Non-psychics can't go to the Astral Plane and humans can't go to the Spirit World. Unless you're Benjamin Mason. And that's a whole other subject right there."
