Greg looked at the two and nodded his head. "Sure is, ladies," he responded in his thick Australian accent. He took great note that the black-haired shelia was a beaut. He saw the foc/cer star making his way over before he could say anything else.

"Sure were, mate. Looks like you have some serious skill with the ball," he said indicating the foc/cer ball. "It's not a sport for everyone."

"You're not kidding," Vincent replied. "It's a hard game to learn, but when you get the hang of it it's incredibly fun." He looked up, realizing just how large a crowd he had drawn. This would be a wonderful opportunity to get a team organized.
Just as he thought that, Andrew popped up, literally. "Well aren't you popular?"
"Seem like it."
"You going to have tryout now?"
"Not immediately. I would rather make an announcement, if you don't mind."
Andrew frowned. Giving a student access to the comm system was against regulations, the obvious exception being members of Strikeforce. However, he saw no real harm in it, so he switched his phone over the the comm app and handed it to Vincent.
"*AHEM* Uh... Good morning to all students and staff of the Academy. I am Vicent Adal, captain of striker of one of the four Foc/cer teams to play in the coming week. I am looking for able players to join my team, in the hopes of bringing the cup home this year. If you are interested, make your way to the field in half an hour. That is all. Thank you."
"You need to work on your communication skills, if you want to be captain," Andrew joked as he took the phone back.
"I'll be fine. I need to work on my game before I even consider any of my other skills."
"Suit yourself." Andrew walked away, towards Zero. "It seems I missed you last night. No matter. I know you were out too, so your punishment is the same as everyone else. But before you start, I want a word with you."

"Sure fine." Zero replied and walked started walking over to Price but then appeared Mr. Brok. Zero sighed already knowing she was with the group and he also probably knew about her leading the team, "Yeah, sorry I know it was wrong for me to get the others to sneak out with me and play "hero" and I know some one could have gotten hurt. It will never happen again..." Zero said like a teenager to their parent.

Sam appeared in a private stable just for Thyme that her and Harkin had built for the magical horse, it was quite spaces with a flat screen t.v and a mini fridge filled with apples, the horse had a special controller that allowed him to step on a button to open and close the fridge door or change the t.v. Thyme was eating some fresh hay when he noticed Sam, he picked up his head turned toward the girl and looked very happy to see her. "Hey! SAM!" he hollered in joy, He ran to Sam almost knocking her down and started rubbing his nose into her face and sorting. Sam laughed and petted Thyme finally able to gently push him back, "Hey girl, you've been gone for a while now, don't just think you can come up in here and expect me to drop everything I'm doing just to say hi," the horse pouted. "Yeah I'm sorry, I had to go on a Strike Force mission and barely got back last night," the girl explained as she picked up a brush and started combing Thyme's coat which he seemed to enjoy. "So how was it here, anything new happen in your novalles?" Sam asked knowing that it was a bad idea to get the horse started on his soap operas.

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

Yukari nodded at Greg, "Nice to meet you." She walked up to Vincent wanting more details on this four square soccer game it sounded very interesting and she wanted to join a team. "So is this a co-ed sport or is it separated by gender?" she asked and expected him to go into a macho speech about boys being better at sports and blah blah blah so she was prepared to zap him if that was the case.

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

Avani had been training at the pool since early in the morning, her control was a lot better and she was learning a lot of techniques from older students and teachers, it also helped that she was a quick learner. The water bender decided it was best to take a break and maybe check on Erik, the boy had been unconscious for sometime and she was really worried but him. Avani got changed out of her bathing suit and into a t-shirt and jeans and headed toward the med bay and picked up some fresh flowers along the way, she got to his room and stepped in front of his closed door, last time he was conscious he looked horrified to see her and now every time she went to visit him. Avani took a breath and walked in, she first checked Erik to see if he was away as usual he wasn't and then she replaced the old flowers with new ones, she did this just in case the boy were to open his eyes giving him something beautiful to look at.

Zero sighed already knowing she was with the group and he also probably knew about her leading the team, "Yeah, sorry I know it was wrong for me to get the others to sneak out with me and play "hero" and I know some one could have gotten hurt. It will never happen again..." Zero said like a teenager to their parent

Zero just stood there and took the lecture, there wasn't really anything she could do, she knew everything that Andrew was saying was true but it just didn't feel right to her that they were conforming to the government. With a sigh Zero told Mr.Brok everything that happened last night from the mugging to the feral kidnapping and made sure to mention that none of the bad guys seen them nor did any of them get hurt. But she did leave out the part about the piece of paper she found with an address.

Andrew raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. It was obvious that Zero was hiding something, but he felt it best not to pry. If it was important, then he could probably just follow Zero the next time she sneaked out. The information about the Ferals, on the other hand, was interesting, if not worrying. He would have to talk to the other teachers about it later.
"Very well then," he said. "Go help your friends with the field. It needs to be completely set up before the tryouts." He walked away, back towards Vincent. "All set?"
"I'll need something to write on, but I think there's a spare water screen in the shed, so I'll use that." the teen replied, looking confident. "Can I ask you something, Andrew?"
"Go for it."
"What's this all about? I know this place well enough. You guys have an ulterior motive for everything." Vincent said, smiling. "Still recruiting for that 'Strikeforce' thing?" Andrew only smiled, and vanished in a flash of lightning. Vincent stood there, feeling a tiny shock from being too close. "Alright, fine. Don't tell me." he said with mock defiance, although no one could hear him. He turned and began looking over what was fast becoming a real Foc/cer field. *This ought to be intersting.*

"Something is very wrong," Ben thought to himself. As soon as the trio consisting of Ben and the two guardians of the Spirit world, Xian Chi and Angel reached the top of the Sky Mountains peak, the latter two disappeared. However, Ben wasn't concerned with that. What made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end was the fact that it was completely empty on the peak.

He was already more than certain that this was where the dark power he had felt since he arrived in the Spirit world more than four months ago in Spirit world time was originating from. So when he reached the top, he was expecting a horde of demons to be waiting for him. Instead, he was welcomed by a vast clearing that included a few snow banks, leaveless, snow covered trees and the disappearance of his two compatriots.

He already had his suspicions about the ones named Xian Chi and Angel but he didn't worry about them seeing as he knew that they would do whatever it was they were going to do at some point in time and he would deal with it then. So when they vanished as soon as they reached the top of the mountains, he was less than surprised. But he was starting to get annoyed that whomever it was that had sent the World of Spirits into such disarray would hide themselves from him.

"I already know that you are here," Ben exclaimed into the emptiness. "You might as well show yourself! There is no point in hiding. Not after you worked so hard to cause such mass chaos."

A rather snide laughter answered him.

"Might I ask what is so funny?"

Just then, everything went dark. It was as if someong had blotted out the sun and then placed a blindfold over Ben's eyes. He couldn't see his hand right in front of his face. "Fiat Lux," Ben sighed, and soft diffuse of light spread over about twenty feet all around him in response. "Parlor tricks are for children and there are no children here. Now show yourself."

And for the first time since arriving in the Spirit world this time around, Ben was surprised.

"Are you surprised to see me, dear nephew," the man smiled as he appeared out of nowhere; directly in front of Ben; standing just a few feet away. "I would have thought you would recognize the essence of my magicks."

"Graywolf," was all Ben could say. He would never forget the man who had killed his parents. How he closely resembled Ben's father, Morning Star, what with his deep brown, almond-shaped eyes, the russet complexion of his skin, his long, silver hair which he kept in a braid and that arrogant half smile that he had on his face the three times that he and Ben encountered each other.

"In the flesh. And I've brought you presents." As his uncle raised his hands, demons started to appear all around the two. Ben took notice that Xian Chi and Angel were suddenly standing behind Graywolf and grinning wickedly at him.

"This should be fun," Ben said. And at that, he through himself at his uncle, magicks streaming behind him.

Half an hour passed, and Vincent looked at the group assembled. There were quite a few people, organized into groups based on what position they wished to play. There were far more than he expected. *This is going to be a long day,* the teen thought. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, he started speaking.
"Thank you all for coming. I'm going to be perfectly blunt. If you want to be on my team, you have to be the best. Foc/cer is a serious game, despite what its name implies, and I will expect nothing short of a perfect victory. Playing for fun is good and all that, but competitiveness takes precedence this time around, for a number of reasons. First, because this game will determine the champions of the sport in this school. With so many new branches of this academy being built worldwide, I think it best if we show them all that the original Hero High can still pack a punch!
"Also, and pay close attention to this one - The teachers will be watching us. This is exactly what happened last year. They held a fighting tournament, and those who performed well on and off the field became the first members of Strikeforce. The champion of the last tournament was Leon Astra and he became Strikeforce's leader right after their mission in Russia. It's incredibly likely... No, in fact, I guarantee that this is a similar scenario. It is that kind of competitiveness that the teachers will be searching out this time around. So If that's what you're looking for, I challenge you to give me the absolute best you've got! Ok then, I'll start with the goal keepers, line up over there and we'll get this over with."

Gsku had woke up around 7:30am and quickly hopped in the shower cleaning himself up getting ready for today. He still couldn't believe that Mr Brok had found us and knew what we had just been doing. Gaku didn't mind too much as long as it was Mr. Bork other then any other teacher. He's been at hero high not too long but he could safely say his favorite teacher was Mr.Brok. After getting out of the shower he brushed his teeth then headed off to his closet to change into his clothes. He Put on his Red outfit sleeveless hoody and all that he usually wears seeing as all his outfites are the same except in color. Gaku decides to leave his guitar and bass in his room for no seeing as later he had to do his punishment set out by Mr.Brok. Gaku looked at the time and it was 8:20am as he left the room. Gaku got infront of the boys dorm room and started running around the school and every 10minutes he would stop to do 100 push ups. Gaku did this to stay in shape and to help him get stronger to join Strickforce. As he was training the image of Sam flew into his mind but he shrugged it off concentrating. Sam was cute and he wanted to get to know her better but everytime they seen each other they ended up parting before being able to really talk. It was about 10:30 by the time Gaku stopped on the other side of the field doing his last set of 100 push ups. He got up and walked across the field where he had seen Mr Brok, Zero, Pryce, Bennu and a couple of people he hadn't met. Gaku Ran over to Mr. Brok stopping in front of him. "Caio Maestro so Where you need me also whats this Foc/cer thing anyway seems dumb sorry but I'm not a fan of the name."

As Vincent finished his speech, Bennu elbowed Pryce in the ribs a few times. He knew exactly what she wanted. The way she wanted to help people, an opportunity to join Strike Force was too good to pass up. Pryce figured it was better than sneaking out, since at least they'd have an official sanction. Bennu probably didn't care that the government wouldn't like their vigilante adventures, though. As she elbowed him for a third time, Pryce whispered, "Yes?"

"You said you'd played goal keeper, right?"

"Yeah," Pryce answered noncommittally, knowing what was next. There would be a minimum of trouble this way. Pryce stepped forward and raised a hand. "I, uh, I can do goal keeper." He made his way over to the line Vincent had indicated, and glanced at Bennu. She was grinning.

"I'll take a wing," she announced.

Zero wanted to play in the foc/cer game too, a chance to get on Strike Force was great and chasing a ball around a giant field sounded fun. Zero took Bennu's lead and spoke up, "I'll take a wing position too!" she shouted not caring to mask her excitiment.
~~~~~~~~~~
Yukari didn't care about the SF tuhing, all she wanted to do was play a super verison of soccer and be able to you her powers while playing without the frighten looks. "I'm in too! I'll play defender." she said loud enough so Vincent could hear her.

~~~~~~~~

Sam had teleported back to the field some time ago and was sitting in the bleachers, she wanted to play too but from what she read, most her powers were banned from the game. And also, she was already in Strike Force and it would be unfair to take a spot from someone who wanted a chance to stand out in front of the teachers. Sam wondered if Leon would play if he was wake she smiled when she thought of him running around playing and trying to keep his white clothes clean but then she was hit with a sudden saddness, *what if he never wakes up?*

Julian arrived back at the school only yesterday and hadn't seen any of the teachers or heroes as of yet. He did have a brief communique with Andrew and Jordan to let them know he was back. But he was currently trying to interpret the things he'd seen and heard while he was with the General and Lieutenant after the Strike Force mission.

He didn't want to write anything down because he didn't want certain people on his case but he was beside himself with disbelief and a deep sense of betrayal. He really didn't know what to do with the information he heard. He couldn't tell his superiors with out proof and even if he did, what would they say? He didn't know who he could trust.

Before he could fall into a downward spiral of uncertainty, there was a knock on his office door. He quickly composed himself and answered it. "Andrew, what do you need," he asked while trying to conceal the simmering chaos that was sure to erupt from the knowledge he gained only a few days ago.

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

It was a glorious battle from Ben's point of view. He charged at his uncle and the demons converged on him. He let loose a pulse wave of magicks and tons of demons were flung away from him. Three giant drakmord demons- human shaped creatures with pointed ears, long claws, sharp drooling teeth and green skin- came at him. He noticed that the drool that was leaking from their mouths were leaving sizzling little holes in the ground where they dropped.

He dodged a vicious swipe from one of the demons and rolled out of the way of another swipe from a second one. The third demon was just about to crush Ben with its massive fist when the latter shouted, "Da Mihi Vim!" Superhuman strength surged through the witch's body and he easily caught the demon's large fist and subsequently tossed the creature at a another group of on coming demons.

Realizing that he wouldn't be able to take on every demon, he shouted, "Thicken," and a wall of solid air encased him. Every time a demon hit it, the wall of air simply rippled.

"Is this too much for you to handle by yourself, dear nephew," Graywolf mocked as he stood by. He was just watching the battle and looked as if he didn't even intend to make a move. That ever present smile on his face.

Ben did little more than frown at him but resolutly tuned him out. He began to chant, "First people who dwell in mishupashup, hear me and descend. Walk with me upon itiashup again. Hear me also, nunashush. Spirits from beyond... Creatures of the between place... Take corporeal form and join the battle. Answer and assit me!"

At that precise moment, spirits from all over the Spirit World materialized out of thin air. The amassed consisted of various creatures: wolves, eagles, bears, bison and buffalo, human spirits and a whole host of other things. They immediately engaged the demons at the moment of their summoning. Ben even saw his father appear. If things weren't so chaotic he would go over to him. However, his father's spirit smiled at him proudly, nodded his head and threw a tomahawk at a viral demon.

Now that Ben had his army, his uncle's smile disappeared. "Go," he muttered to an anxious looking Xian Chi and Angel as Ben canceled his shield. His two previous comrades erupted towards him. Both their faces kept fading in and out of focus as they swiftly made their way towards him.

Xian Chi said, "Do you know how hard it was not to laugh in your face as we lead you here?"

"You really need to pay better attention to who you associate with, hombre," Angel added as he produced him mallet.

"I realized that something was off with you two a long time ago," Ben replied. "I simply figured that you would lead me to heart of the problem, so I let you believe that I was oblivious. The fact that you were absorbing demonic essence was a red flag from the very beginning. But what really hit me was the fact that there was so much discord in this world."

Xian Chi was nearing him, her blue orb brightly glowing. Ben's own energy bow appeared as he leveled his arm at the woman. "I do not know what you are but I know what you are not. You and Angel are not thet guardians of this world. You two are interlopers." He shot an energy arrow at Xian Chi. She tried to dodge it, but it followed her and connected with her chest.

Falling to the ground screaming, a glowing chain- which was invisible at first- shattered from behind her. Smiling, Ben shot one at Angel. The boy-like creature tried to do the same as Xian Chi and dodge the arrow, but it hit and the same thing happened. A previously invisible chain shattered from behind Angel.

"The true guardians of this world were somehow bound and you two were the anchors of the spell that reeks of my uncle's handiwork. Those arrows I just shot effectively broke that spell." Ben looked over to his uncle and the man was frowning. That caused Ben to smile. "What is the matter uncle? You were not expecting me to figure it all out?"

As he was mocking Graywolf, he didn't see Xian Chi readying her whip. When the woman was getting ready to flick it, a powerful, fierce, ancient looking woman grabbed her arm. Xian Chi yelped as she turned around to face the woman and that got Ben's attention. He instantly recognized the woman as one of the two actual guardians of the Spirit World even though he'd never met either one before. She met Ben's eye and sent the treacherous and false guardian hurtling into the midst of the battle.

"You are a sight for sore eyes," Ben said as she walked towards him.

"And I am in you're debt for freeing me," the woman spoke in a very thick accent that Ben couldn't quite place.

"Just help me liberate this world and we are even," he smiled.

"I understand." The woman suddenly grew to a great size collided with a giant demonic bird that came swooping out of the sky. They went sailing elsewhere and Ben was left to face a fuming Angel.

The boyish person just glared at him with that ever fading face. Then he let out an inhuman scream and proceeded to literally erupt out of his own skin. A slimy, gray skinned, hairy headless beast was now seething in front of him. "Hm. I was not expecting that," Ben said out loud as he flew into the sky as the beast leapt at him. He was even more surprised when the creature's arm stretched up and wrapped around him leg.

A very cold and black feeling pulsated through his body and he felt his energy being drained from him. He started to fall back towards the ground and saw that the creature formerly known as Angel had its mouth wide open. Ben could feel his stomach turn. He couldn't lift a finger cause of the energy being drained from him and figured this was an interesting way to die.

Just then, he hit the ground hard but felt his energy rush back into him. He looked up to see why he wasn't demon chow and saw Turok slashing at the beast's tentacles. He was beyond shocked to find out Turok was the other Spirit World guardian but the only thing he was thinking about was that slimy tentacle on his leg.

Using his bladed bow, Turok savagely slashed at the creature that was Angel, lopping off tentacles with every swing. It really wasn't a match and it caused Ben to feel slightly embarrassed to not be caught off guard as he was. But while the ancient but powerful warrior dealt with Angel, Ben looked back to his uncle. "That leaves you and me, Graywolf. And I must warn you, I am no longer that helpless, younger version you just about killed mercilessly. I have become a force to be reckoned with and we have a score to settle."

"Then let us stop wasting time and begin," his uncle stated. As quickly as the words were out of his mouth, the two magic users shot towards each other: one propelled by revenge and a sense of duty; the other by sheer madness.

Before he could fall into a downward spiral of uncertainty, there was a knock on his office door. He quickly composed himself and answered it. "Andrew, what do you need," he asked while trying to conceal the simmering chaos that was sure to erupt from the knowledge he gained only a few days ago.

Julian went to sit behind his desk. He rubbed his chin and remembered that he hadn't shaved in a few days. "Sounds good to me, Andrew. To be honest, I was thinking of something similar but more undercover than the senior squad. A team that operates off the record, which effectively means that my bosses won't know anything about them."

He leaned back in his chair. "Knowing you, you already have at least a few students in mind. But what do we know about the kidnapped ferals?"

Andrew cocked an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Julian to be so forthcoming about going behind the backs of his bosses. "I have a few students in mind, but I want to give the whole school a chance first." He said. "As for the ferals, we don't know how they were captured in the first place. I can only guess that they were going to be used for experimentation. We can't find out for certain, because the kids incapacitated all the guards and set the ferals free. This does however line up with the reports of disappearing ferals that have been coming in for months. It's starting to get a bit worrying. If we weren't going through this new team I'd be out there myself."

"I'd say it's way past worrying. Ferals disappearing; supers being attacked and controlled by government sanctioned psychopaths..." Julian let the sentence hang in the air. Andrew would know where he was going with it. "But what bugs me about the ferals is how someone could easily kidnap one, let alone an entire group of em. Did any of the noobs find anything while playing hero?"

Andrew nodded in agreement. These events all happening at once. It was unusual, and perhaps coincidental. He pushed the thought from ihs mind. "One of kids stayed behind while the others came back to school. She may have found something, but she wouldn't tell me. It might have been personal for her."

"I don't think it's in the school's best interest to have students going out on revenge missions," Julian said as he crossed his fingers. "Supers being publicly known is one thing but if we have a group of student running around town half cocked, we'd all be crucified. I'm sure you can pull this off, Andrew. I have faith in you. I'll help in whatever way I can."

"It must be fate." Andrew said, laughing. "We have a week off to prepare everything. I'll talk to Blayze, see if we can't come up with a van or some other kind of transport. Something covert. I'll keep you informed." With that, Andrew walked out. He was starting to feel a familiar excitement. Sure, he never got to do the old hero work much now that he was a teacher, but just seeing things unfold in his mind reminded him of the old days. Julian wanted a team that acted in secrecy. It was almost like a junior version of Ghost Squad. In that case, it wouldn't hurt to steal a few of Ghost Squad's tricks...

The battle between Ben and his evil uncle, Graywolf was swift. Flying above the fighting demons and spirits, magicks were crackling and sparking all around the two. Previously, Ben would have never stood a chance against his uncle. In fact, the first and last time the two had battled, Ben had only recently found out about the true nature of his abilities and was severely beaten and almost killed. But here in the present, he was a force to be reckoned with.

"Your skill is impressive, nephew. I am pleased that you are capable of keeping pace with me," Graywolf said as he deflected several energy balls. More shots of various magicks and spells were shared between the two before Graywolf was just about incapacitated by Ben. The former then made a gesture with his hands and his eyes closed.

Ben knew that the shaman was calling upon his spirit protector as most shamans did in the midst of battle. But before he could react, a gale force wind blew Ben back. Suddenly a giant skeleton, holding a sickle was standing behind Graywolf. It was quite a sight to Ben and he would be remiss if he said that he hadn't been nervous.

However, before Graywolf and his skeleton spirit could unify themselevs into one impressivly strong creature, Ben sent out a magical pulse that mentally froze his uncle, causing him to be frozen in place. And because of this, the giant sekleton was unable to move, as well.

And as if out of nowhere, the woman guardian fell out of the sky on top of the skeleton spirit, crushing it and causing it to disappear into a black mist. She also fell on top of Graywolf. When she got up, the old man was crushed into the ground. When Ben went to inspect the man, he saw that his uncle was effectively knocked out. He knew this for a fact because all of the demons were vanishing into thin air.

A short while later, his uncle's powers were bound and Ben was helping get the Spirit World back in order. It took several weeks in Spirit World time and Ben got to know Turok and the giant woman named Tutara in that time. Tutara described herself as nothing more than the magic of the Spirit World in physical form. Turok, on the other hand, said that he was once human thousands of years ago and that he was blessed by the spirits and tasked with guarding the world of spirits long ago.

When Ben asked what his purpose was at the school some time ago, Turok simply stated that he wanted to see how humans were living. Both guardians also explained how they were vastly overwhelmed by Graywolf and his power and subsequently bound with Xian Chi and Angel taking their place in order for Ben to be summoned to the Spirit world.

When all was done in the Spirit World and everyone was back at peace, Ben returned to the human world with Graywolf. Knowing that the binding spell wouldn't hold someone as powerful as his uncle for long, he did one last spell that sent his uncle to a void demension, a place where nothing existed and silence was anyone's only friend. He returned to the school quietly and saw that he was only gone for a few days in human world time as opposed to being in the Spirit world for just a little over 6 months. He knew Katt sensed him the moment he set foot back in this world and that Andy more than likely had a vision of his return. So he waited in he and Katt's room for his family to be done with their day and welcome him home.
