((Pious and Myrtyl are here and ready. I'll get them over to class after this mission. 
))
((coolio, just Jack and Natoe if he can make it then we'll get started))
Jack walks up to the Training Room, dressed in his combat gear, mostly black and lose fitting but thick looking, heavy re-enforced boots and Fore arm guards, his unruly hair still the same, he looks about
"so who we still waiting for then?"
"I dunno, I know Tyler is commin, but that's it" Sophie explained "I'm Sophie by the way"
------------------------------------------------------------
Adam finished his battle and looked in the reflection of a window. his costume was a smooth, blue spandex shirt with yellow bolts of chaotic lightning on the arms. A northen star insignia was imprinted on the chest. His trousers were white with flames on the legs. His eyes were covered by a Robin-like mask
"to go back to the good old days... if only"
"Pious. Pious!"
"Mum no, no, please"
"Wake. Up.." cried Myrtyl, through gritted teeth. "You're mumbbling."
"Wake up. With Pro-plus"
"What?!" asked Myrtyl. Pious was talking in his sleep. She sat on his bed and heaved him off it. Giggling loudly as he rolled onto the floor.
"Hey. What's wrong with you? How dyu get in here?" screamed Pious, embarassed to be seen in his spandex overalls.
"Same as last time" she smiled, playfully. "You've been sleeping for long enough, lunch time is over. The famous Acenra is starting class."
Pious stood to his feet, reluctantly. "Who the hell is that?"
"You know.. the elf boy."
"Adam? I knew it! I asked him if he was famous but he didn't really answer directly."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing him. I love his costume."
A sense of jealousy swept over Pious so suddenly he almost toppled over.
"Whats so special about some costume?"
"The lightning bolts! I've always wondered what they represented. And that bright star, proudly lit on his chest."
His heart was deflated with every word. "Whatever," he spat. "Gettaouta my room Myrtyl.. I.. need to get dressed" he lied, trying to hide his growing jealousy.
"What's gotten into you?" She looked hurt. "Fine, whatever" with that, she bolted for the window ledge, squating like a cat, she threw Pious a second glance before disappearing amidst orange glitters.
Pious was annoyed.
"Oh, the folts! meh-meh-meh. The fighfening folts" he mimiced, exagerating Myrtyl's otherwise indistinguishable lispe. "Pftt. What a day. First she kisses me, then she watches me suffercate, now she dreams of some stupid elf.." His words trailed off as an idea, a practical joke, cruel as it was funny, materialized before his eyes.
"Well, well, well, lets see what our gallant Acenra makes of this"
Tyler strutted down the corridor,his eyes red and sore, he turne the corner to the training room,his hands already instinctively flared up.
Charging to near the doorway he glanced at the other members of the class,stating to everyone,
"I hope your ready"
"Tyler, you ok hun?" asked Sophie, noticing the sore eyes of the head boy, and naturally becomming worried
------------------------------------------------------------
Adam looked at the screen which showed three of the students outside, just a couple more and he could get started
Tyler glared at Sophie,his eyes a dazzling fiery red
"No,I'm not" He declared simply.
"why? come on, you can tell me" Sophie attempted this, and even expected failure in recieving an answer
------------------------------------------------------------
"oh dear..." Adam whispered. Tyler's power was rising and wasnt sure whether he should hold the lesson or not. but then decided to go on with it, maybe it could cull that power he sensed.
Jack bounced lighly on his toes "can we get on with this, i had to cut short lunch ot getready, i'm still sort of hungry"
also more than a little impaintant, he wanted to find out jsut what was instore, you train all your lfe, get sent to some odd school 3000 miles from home so your sister can keep an eye on you... life sucked some days.
"Lets just do this thing"
Tyler stared at the camera.Somehow knowing Adam was watching him.
"Do it Acenra,I'm ready."
Having noted Acenra in his all so adorable costume, Pious hugged the door to the trainging room, gasping deep breaths.
This. Is. Gonna. Be. Hilarious he thought, here goes nothing. Suddenly, the blue jeans and t-shirt shimmered from view, revealing Pious' true appearance; plain white spandex overall which streatched down and covered the sole of his feet like shoes. Suddenly, the image was replaced by a newer, more deceitful image; a perfect copy of Acenra. Costume and all. With great confidence, Pious marched into the NRVS training room, wondering how the true Adam would respond.
"ok, come in" Adam said. the door opened to reaveal Adam standing in the middle of the room. he watched as the students entered the room
"hold it!" he told his students. he looked directly at his 'doppelganger' "think you can fool me? right then. my powers consist of light, flight and the ability to play great music. and my magic forbids the copy of them" he clicked his fingers and a fiddle appeared in his hands "play it" he threw the fiddle to the copy and expected him to be rubbish
Tyler looked on at the other-Adam playing the fiddle, his face completely emotionless,
"Can't we just get this over with...I have paint to watch dry"
"good point, Pious, quit the illusion, I have a class to teach" Adam replied, after getting rid of the fiddle "now then. the first thing you guys must know is how to defend yourself without anypowers. Tyler, would you step over here please" Adam clicked his fingers and behind him, blocks of ice, bigger than him, formed in lines infront of two doors "the challenge is to make a path through the ice then take on any challenge in those rooms. the rule is no powers are to be used. and to be sure" he clapped his hands and the room shuddered (like when you degaus a computer screen) "all powers in this room have been nulified. Ready? go!" Adam took his fighting pose and his hand started shaking violently.
Tyler calmy walked forwards to the ice,surveying for a weak point,he saw a minute crack in one of the blocks.
Grinning to himself,he focused and drew his leg back into a massive roundhouse kick.
Adam grinned, his arm went into a frenzy before he pushed it forward. in his mind, the ice blew away leaving the outside, like a glass casing. he stood and turned to his rival
"this is why I'm a black belt" he turned and flicked the first block, which shattered "i'll see you at the end" he progressed and started to kick and smash the other blocks
"come one Tyler! you can do it!" Sophie cheered, she felt Tyler could use some support for whatever happened today
Tyler just smiled,focusing,and delievering a pwoerful kick to the next block,sending shards flying throguh the air.
Carrying on to the next block he thew himself forwards and sent his fist flying into it,bleeding, he stood back and gasped,but smiled to see he had managed to send the ice into millions of pieces.
"And thats why I don't need to brag about my abilities"
"well thats good. but still..." he finished off the last block "you'll need to hurry" Adam rushed into the door but stopped. surveying the corridor, he noticed several oppenings. Adam thought to himself
'a timming test, lets rock!'
Tyler finished off the last blockand scurried to the door as well,
"Why ya stop Acenra,admitting defeat already?"
"who's stopping? watch this!"
he dived and did a handstand, alowing the blade to swing just inches from the tip of his nose. he continued doing flips and spins, narrowly dodging the blades that swung from side to side.
As he landed on the other side, he wondered how Tyler would fre in the next test. he past through the next door and surveyed the next room. a question hung above a pit, above which hung a rope and on the walls were several answers. the question was "the maker doesn't need it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't know he/she is using it, what is it?" Adam knew the answer. and he spied it on the wall. taking a large run up, he jumped and grabbed the rope. he climbed higher then started to swing towards the word 'Coffin'
Tyler was high,he was loving this....as he always was...he was winning,he could feel it,Adam was worrying...he was sure of it
Chanting,lots and lots of chanting,and people in robes...maybe even soem big creature made of fire. it was never that clear,but he always remembered that lullaby...rock a bye....
A blade hit him across the shoulder,making a small but noticeable gash in his arm.
He snapped back into reality and focused on the qeustion above the pit....classic riddle, "4 legs in the morning,2 in the faternoon and 3 in the evening" grabbing the rope he flung his body towards the word "man".
Oh dear.. that didn't come across funny at all!
The class initiated with a small test. Ice blocks lined the room. Pious simply froze. He witnessed several experienced students blowing blocks in all directions. To his amazement, Myrtyl herself was flying through blades and hopping onto ropes. Were he not the only one transfixed, he would have felt very embarassed.
I can do this. It's just frozen water. Pious examined the crystal clear cube, searching for cracks. He found one.
~ Force, Pious. Use the force ~
I can't use my powers. Even my jeans are gone, people can see my underwear tights.
~ Good thing I bought them for you then. Mighty embarassing it would have been, were you bare to the boxers. ~
Tell me about it.
~ You need no fields to break the ice, just strike it with force Pious. Trust me. ~
Okay.
Pious hesitated. After several deep breaths, he took one large step backwards, bending low into a long squat. Right hand clenched into a fist, he struck with all his might. At first, the ice absorbed the impact.
"Oh well. At least I tried" said Pious, noticing his fist was actually bleeding, coated with frost. He wheeled around and made towards the sidebench, but was blown across the room as his block suddenly erupted at a frightening magnitude. It seemed every single particle of the ice was shattered into smitherines before vaporizing completely. Pious was dumbfounded. Mouth gaping.
As Adam pressed his foot on the word 'Coffin' the spikes in the pit below shifted to one side. he smiled as he did a graceful back flip off the rope and dived through the pit. he closed his eyes and he concentrated hard. this next test was that of fear. he blocked out all the monsters, ghosts and even his memories as he fell. he flipped up right again before landing on the floor below. he noticed that he was surrounded by tsoo warriors. a test of strength
"Take your time Adam, you're winning" he whispered, before taking a defensive pose. he thanked the lord he past the test of fear, anybody who didn't pass would be in a state of mental break down for the next half hour... it happened to him before. this was the same test on trial mountain, and he was impressed by the abbilities of his new students...
((Hell,Tyler would've started flirting with Acenra if he hadn;t found out she was actualyl a he,darn you and your misleading names
))
Blowing out the candles,Tyler was submerged in complete darkness,when he heard a familiar popping sound accompanied by a flash of light.
"Ahh,Mr Isidor,what can i do you for?"
Mr Isidor said nothing,but began to sway back and forwards,humming a lullaby.
"Mr Isidor?"
More humming.....and now a glow around his body...not the traditional white....but now a blood red colour.
"Rock-a-bye baaabbyy on the tree top" He grinned,seeing how it was affecting Tyler.
Tyler growled "Stop it...right now"
But he carried on,until he reached the fina line "Down will come baby ..cradle and all"
Tyler screamed,filling his palms with a blue flame,shooting madly at the teacher.Mr Isidor just smiled while his clothes set on fire and his flesh was seared from his skin finally saying his last words,
"The circle don't like backstabbers...Ty'lak" his body erupted in flames and his outer image peeled away,a spectral daemon flying out and disintegrating into nothingness.
Tyler looked on in agony,falling to the floor and weeping.
