RE: Mario's High School Days

~ Triskelion ~

Sonya nodded. "Yes, I was informed by him on the helicopter ride back about his situation. It's...just a bit strange to have an S-Type so willing to help." The woman sighed. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course."

~ Dr. Fennhoff's Office ~

"Well..." Castiel began, trying to remember. "I do not remember anything before I was placed in this body or the day I was. The memory of when Orchid here found me are still there, though..." He paused, thinking. "I suppose my earliest fond memory was day she allowed me to live in her home until I can control myself."

~ Alleyway in Tokyo's Chinatown ~

"Really?" Quan Chi asked. "Well, if a heist is your plan, I can certainly help with that."

~ Gym Class ~

Amy entered the gym in her uniform and began doing stretches. Part of her was wondering what Sammy was doing now, but she quickly shook it off.

~ Demonology Classroom ~

Sam and Dean began attentively taking notes on Vergil's lecture about Lucifer and the Grim Reaper. "Who knows." Sam whispered to Dean. "Given our hobbies, this will definitely come in handy one day."

~ Algebra 2 Classroom ~

Sammy sat at her desk and smiled, ready to start the day.

~ Biology Classroom ~

Chris gasped when Dan stormed into the classroom during attendance. "This is an OUTRAGE!! I demand vengeance!" The short student growled. He stopped when he saw his friend and sat next to him. "Oh, hey Chris." Chris frowned. "Dan! Mr. Coulson is taking attendance!" He whispered sharply. "And you're late for class!"

~ Creative Arts Classroom ~

Kung Jin sat down and began sketching.

~ Modern History Classroom ~

Takeda entered the room with the other students, ready to begin the day. He looked surprised to see Eris enter the classroom with Mayhem, wondering what the grown man was doing here.

~ Martial Arts Classroom ~

Hearing what they were going to learn today, Cassie and Jacqui grinned eagerly to each other.

~ Tatadohama Beach ~

"Well, well, well." Jack said, arrogance tinting his British accent. "If it isn't my old mentor, Armstrong. Here for those alien things, are you?" "Keon!" Armstrong spoke with anger as he jabbed a finger at him. "What are you doing here?! How dare you show your face around here!" Jack smirked. "Looks like old age is getting to you, Armstrong. As for what I'm doing, I'm after those artifacts myself. They'd fetch quite the prety penny to the right buyer." "Buyer?! You can't sell those things!" Armstrong yelled, approaching Jack. "They could be the clues to finding out how we lost contact with a whole alien race!" "And...you're point is?" Jack replied with a chuckle. "It's not like the Cephalo-whatevers are going to need them, yes? Might as well get some use out of them!" Jack let out a taunting laugh, until the reporter noticed two blonde young adults approaching her. They both shoved Armstrong and Jack out of the way and forced themselves in front the camera.

~ Auto Engineering Classroom ~

Nick smiled and greeted the students. "Alright." He began. "Let's take attendance."

~ Mathematical Sciences ~

Chalrie watched quietly from his desk as students poured into the classroom.

~ Space Engineering Classroom ~

Standing on his desk, Yuri Cosmos grinned as the students entered the room. "Good morning, cadets!" He greeted with energy. "Ready to learn more of the wonders of space technology, I see!"

 

I'm back!


-Inside Dingodile's Boiler Room-

"Ahh, now who's that handsome devil? Heh heh heh..."

As Dingodile begins looking himself over in the mirror while getting ready for another day of janitorial work, Springtrap stands in the corner of the room, holding both a mop and bucket while wondering how on earth he managed to get caught in a mess like this...

-Flashback: Springtrap and Dingodile's Encounter In The Abandoned Area-

'What the f*** is that smell!? Did someone die in here or something!? Because if they did, I ain't cleaning it up!' thought Dingodile as he stared at the old and decrepit animatronic in front of him, with it staring back at him. After a few seconds of silence, Springtrap, not recognizing Dingodile, lets out a loud metallic screech as his old security measures activated, causing him to leap at the dingo-crocodile hybrid with violent intentions in mind.

"What the f***!?" shouted Dingodile dodging the attacks as Springtrap continues to charge and swipe at him aggressively, before the janitor finally had enough of the assault, "Try to attack me, will ya? Take this!" shouted Dingodile and with a mighty swing of his tail, he smashes it into Springtrap, knocking him to the floor where he begins twitching and sparking.

Apparently time and neglect had taken it's toll on him and his inner workings.

Looking at Springtrap's shaking form for a moment, Dingodile says "Damn, it must've been in here a long time if it's smelling this bad and a little smack did this much damage. I should put it out of it's misery..." before a grin spreads across his face, "...but then again, I could use a clank like him in order to get things done around here. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea to me. I'll see if the bloke in the Robotics class can patch him up a bit." before turning his attention to Springtrap's spasming body. Grabbing one of the animatronic's legs, Dingodile begins dragging the battered robot over to the Robotics classroom, ignoring the odd looks others give him as he passes by.

Entering the classroom, he drags Springtrap inside and with a raised eyebrow, he looks at Eggman and asks "Can ya fix 'im?"

-Flashback End-

"Right then, come on ya bloody clank. We've got work to do." said Dingodile, now finished with getting ready. Springtrap simply rolls his robotic eyes in annoyance before following after Dingodile out of the boiler room.


-Outside Mrs. Frizzle's Classroom-

Jr. Troopa, elementary schooler and sworn enemy of Mario (as one-sided as this may be) stood at the door of Mrs. Frizzle's classroom, fuming as he cursed his rotten luck as of late. "This is all that Mario's fault! If he hadn't wrecked my bike, I never would have gone to that stupid party, I never would have been caught by that big furry palooka and had my parents called, and I especially would not be grounded for a month! Well, nobody gets the best of Jr. Troopa for long; not even Mario!" before looking upwards, red-faced and shaking his fist in the air.

"I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, MARIO!" Jr. shouted with fury as his anger continued to vent out.


-Inside the Accounting Classroom-

As students begin coming into the classroom and taking their seats, Murabito looks at Isabelle, who is smiling while organizing papers at her desk. 'I still can't believe Dad's secretary is my accounting teacher...' he thought as he took his seat, recalling his encounter with Isabelle before and after his meeting with Al Mualim.

-Flashback: Murabito & Isabelle's Encounter Outside Al Mualim's Office-

"Not that I mind seeing you here, but what brings you to my new school all of a sudden? Dad didn't forget to send something with me, did he?" Murabito asked with Isabelle shaking her head and saying "Nope. Tell you what; go introduce yourself to Mr. Mualim first. I'll wait here." before taking a seat in a nearby chair outside of Al Mualim's office. Upon seeing Riku leave the office and hearing Al Mualim call out for the next person to enter, he heads inside and after a polite nod, takes a seat in front of the desk.

Upon being asked his name, Murabito introduced himself to Al Mualim, "My name is Murabito, Mr. Mualim and I'm here to register into Nintendo High."

The meeting went as he had expected with Murabito successfully getting registered into the school. Upon leaving the office, he meets up with Isabelle again.

"Did you get in?" she asks with a slightly worried look. Murabito nods and says "Yeah, I did. So you were going to explain on why you're here?" Smiling, Isabelle nods and says "Of course. If you would please follow me to my new classroom..." "Classroom? You're a teacher here?" asked Murabito, clearly surprised. He had not seen this coming.

"Of course...though I had just gotten the job not too long ago, to be honest." Isabelle says, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.

Eventually the two enter the Accounting classroom, which was, at the moment, empty of anyone else but them. Once the two take a seat at Isabelle's desk, Murabito asks "So why did you get a job here anyway? You didn't have a falling out with Dad, did you?" Shaking her head, Isabelle says "No, I just thought I'd try my hand at teaching. Just to see if I can put my degree in accounting to use." "And you just so happening to get a job here has nothing to do with the fact I'm going to be a student here?" inquired Murabito, skeptical. "O-of course not! I'm just here to teach, nothing more!" stammered out Isabelle, worried that Murabito would discover that his father ordered her to keep an eye on him.

After a few seconds, Murabito says "Well, alright then. Sorry about putting you on the spot like that, but I had to be sure Dad didn't just send you here to watch over me. He can be so overprotective sometimes." before checking his watch and saying "I've got to go, Isabelle. I don't want to be late; we'll have to talk more later." He leaves the classroom and a relieved Isabelle behind as he heads off to his first class.

-Flashback End-

Before he could dwell on his thoughts further, he heard Isabelle introducing herself to the class.

"Good morning, my name is Isabelle and I'm your new Accounting teacher. Here, I will be teaching you all about how best to manage your money, as well as other subjects related to the matter. Now then, when I call your name, you say 'here', alright?" said Isabelle before she started reading off the roll call list.


-Location Unknown-

Inside of a dark room that looked to be abandoned, a lone ghostly figure stands alone, apparently waiting for someone.

"...Where is he...? Has he found...'him'?"

This figure is then joined by four other figures, all resembling the first, all muttering something in hushed voices.

"...He must help us..."

"...We must find 'him'..."

"...'He' must pay for what he's done..."

"...For what 'he' has done...to us..."

The figures then speak their final line all at once:

"...We will have our revenge..."

 

~Vergil~

Vergil listened to Sunset's answer. "At least someone saw the meaning behind the story, most fools try to escape the fact that death is inevitable, all being sin the world will meet their end, be it human,.demon, devil or anything else that lives, some just live longer than others, although Miss Shimmer, you should refrain from vocally talking about demons, I will grant there are some who reside in the Human World and take on a human guise, but showcase it off, you'll be heading down the same path as the first brother," Vergil said and looked to the class.

"Next, I'll explain about the workings of the different Realms that separate us." Vergil written on the board of a diagram. "The human world or as we call it, Earth is always in the centre of the Realms, the Demons naturally are below our Realm and the place you call Heaven or has Angels is above, I have heard of other realms but for now we're focusing on this, and I'm not going to explain anything about Angels or anything, this is Demonology, there are a multitude of ways for one to enter the Human World from Hell, one is a Hell Gate, a portal that leads directly from Hell to Earth, serving as a bridge. Another method is to forcefully create a rift between the fabric of reality, granted it'll take some time before that is conceived." Vergil took a moment.

"Another is creating a pathway with something of demonic origins, of course, no one knows what they are unless you study up on their personal history and quite frankly, I have no interest in calling forth Demons or Devils, but seeing as your headmaster called upon my services to teach you about Demons with a down payment, I assure you, there are some thing sin this world that isn't ready for the human mind to comprehend."

~Harold~

Harold got up. "Well, it's that time huh." Harold said, he was being quiet most of all so he could think of his answers for the jury.

 

-Gym-

"Alright, today, we'll be doing some track and field events today." Fang said, looking at everyone. "You can pick a track and field event to do then move on to the next one. I'll be keeping watch so you all so you don't pick the same one twice." Gia stretched and ran, doing the high jump. Jake decided to take the relay.



-Tommy-

Standing by one of the vending machine, Tommy gulped down a bottle of water that he got from one of the machines. Wiping his mouth after finishing the bottle, Tommy tossed the bottle into the recycle bin. He rubbed his hair and wondered what was going to happen.



-English Classroom-

Noah took notes in his notebook as John Smith spoke about Charles Dickens and his life, he admitted that he didn't know a lot about Dickens but he did read some of his books.



-Creative Art Classroom-

Hearing Mamon say that she liked the Blue Ranger of the Power Rangers when she saw her sketch, Namine smiled, "Yes. I don't really have a favorite one, but I find their powers unique. Animals that exist so long ago."



-Carter's Car-

Aerith sat in Carter's car, looking at Lenne and chaos as they waved at her and she waved back. She hoped that everything would be okay and leaned back in the car seat.



-Coffee Shop-

Sipping her drink, Alice heard him how were things, and gave a small smile, "Yuri's the same thing as ever, but Blanca is getting well along with him. It's nice to see him so happy and having fun with someone."



-Nintendo Elementary: Class 87-

Both WilyKat and WilyKit sat in their classroom, listening to the lesson that their teacher was giving for their class.



-Elsa and Anna-

Stepping into the limo, Elsa looked out the window while Anna wondered how the trial would go as they rode to the court house. Elsa tried to keep calm and hoped that with her help, Harold would proved innocent.



-Moon Palace-

Listening, Zedd did think about kidnapping the Black Ranger's younger children to ensure that none of Zordon's warriors would come and interrupt their plans. But they didn't have any connection to the current plans, he didn't voice it.

 

-Streets Of Tokyo-

"Killer Croc? People actually believe that nonsense?" muses a ordinary citizen of Tokyo as they read through the latest tabloid newspaper with the headline 'The Beast Of The Sewers: Is Killer Croc Real?' emblazoned on the front page. After reading the tabloid and shaking his head in disgust at it, he approaches a trash can positioned on a street corner next to a storm drain.

-Inside The Tokyo Sewers-

Deep within the sewers of Tokyo, a large reptilian biped is wandering around the damp passages of the sewers, growling out "So hungry...it's time to hunt...it's time to feed...it's time to KILL..."

-Flashback: The Origins Of The Beast In The Sewers-

Lying within the murky waters of the Tokyo Sewers, a black-colored crystal begins pulsating with dark power as the S-Type within continues to release it's energy, hoping that someone will find it.

Not too far off, a simple crocodile who had simply found itself in the sewers through methods unknown is swimming in the filthy water until it sees the black gem in the distance. Thinking it to be food, it hastily swims over and snaps up the stone in it's mouth before swimming off once again.

Desperate for release from it's current state, the S-Type begins releasing more of it's dark energy, eventually infusing it's power with the crocodile and gradually mutating it over time into the beast it is today.

-Flashback End-

The being, who had been dubbed as 'Killer Croc' by people who had crafted the urban legend about the 'beast in the sewers', continued to lurk throughout the area, hunting for it's next meal whether it be man, beast or S-Type.

Suddenly, Killer Croc catches the scent of something nearby, "Ahh...fresh meat." Sniffing the air further, he finds the location of the smell and begins rushing towards his next meal.

-Streets Of Tokyo-

"Pssh. Killer Croc. The things people will come up with to sell a story nowadays. Time to put garbage like this where it belongs; in the..." says the citizen before stopping, hearing a low purring growl coming from nearby. Before he can say anything further, a green, muscular, scale-covered arm swipes at him from the storm drain, grabbing his leg and swiftly pulling him into the sewers as the tabloid gently flutters down to the ground.

Those nearby could hear the sound of muffled screaming.

-Somewhere Deep Within The Netherrealm-

"So that fool Shinnok intends to release Lavos in hopes of using it's energies, does he?" said a large dragon-like S-Type clad in archaic gold armor, "The fool has no idea of the pure power Lavos is capable of unleashing. But this could work to my advantage...enough of Lavos' released energy could break the seal that dog Astral placed me under when he banished me here years ago..." Here the S-Type began to laugh, a loud, booming laugh that could be heard throughout the Netherrealm, "Then proceed with your foolish plan, Fallen God! But know this; it won't matter in the end, because once I'm free and in control of the S-Types, everything, including your precious Netherrealm, shall belong to it's new master; GALAMOTH!"

 

~ Dr. Fennhoff's Office ~

"Hmm...no, none of those." Castiel said, closing his eyes in thought. "It's...something else. Something I can't quite pinpoint. Maybe it's the safety? The fact that with Orchid I can have healthy human interaction? That I won't lose myself to my rages when she's there?" He gave a small, rare smile. "Maybe it's something I can't quite understand yet."

~ Treleskion ~

"I have been pretty busy lately." Sonya replied. "Maybe I missed when they told the rest of you about him."

~ Biology Classroom ~

Chris was quietly taking the test given to him, when Dan leaned over to him. "Listen Chris." Dan whispered. "I need a truckload of napalm and directions to the Crystal Order Headquarters." Chris, still writing on his test, looked at Dan with a frown. "Okay, first: how the heck would I get tht stuff? Second, why do you need it? And third: I'm trying to take this test, Dan. Please be quiet."

~ Demonology Classroom ~

"You hear that, Sam?" Dean said to his brother. "There are ways to open portals to here from Hell. That...could be bad news if some really of the really high-ranking demons ever do that." Sam nodded in agreement. "I know. We should check out some of Dad's old demon-hunting books to see how to dispel them. Could help us out."

~ Courthouse ~

Kano and the Black Dragon approached the courthouse to watch Flamel's trial. As Kano scanned the area, he saw a familiar face. "Sheeva?" He called. "What th' heck are you doin' here?" The female Shokan looked at him, frowning upon seeing the thug. "I am employed as a baliff in the courts." She replied. "I have not seen you since Outworld invaded Earth years ago. I assume you are on trial?" "Pah. Nah, Barty came to see th' Flamel trial." Kano said, rolling his good eye. "Honestly, I find this stuff boring." Sheeva nodded. "Yes. I have heard of the Flamel trial. Whether or not I will be serving in it, I do not know. Given the trial is diplomatic in nature, they will likely have a higher baliff on it. However, I can take you three to the courtroom where it will be held."

~ Police Station ~

A worried Oliver Queen entered the station, looking for help.

~ Tatadohama Beach ~

Both were wearing white t-shirts with a picture of Earth on it, under yellow plaid shirts. Over the picture were the words 'Team Earth Hope' written. "Oh! Um..." The reporter said, not expecting this intrusion. She then noticed the shirts and looked at the two young adults. "A-And here, um, we have two members of the controversial environmental group Team Earth Hope. Wh-what do you two think of the current events?" Of the two, the girl replied. "Conrad and I think that the alien objects should be left alone! They belong to Mother Nature, not these greedy creeps!" Conrad nodded and added his own thoughts. "That's right, Carly! All these evil corporations and nature-haters are trying to take what belongs to Mother Nature! Well, Team Earth Hope is taking our own submarine to protect the artifacts!" His expression grew dark. "And we'll kill anyone who tries to take from Mother Nature!" Carly nodded. "We mean it!" She added. "Team Earth Hope isn't afraid to get rid of a few nature-haters to help the Earth!" The reporter became uncomfortable from this statement. "W-Well, erm..." She stuttered. "...it, uhh, seems like a lot of people are going into the ocean for these artifacts." She turned to Armstrong and Jack. "How about you gentlemen?" "Of course!" Jack replied. "I've got my own submarine! It's the best money can buy!" Armstrong frowned. "Well, I happen to have my own subnautic machine, generously donated by Japan's scientific community."

~ Near Tokyo National Museum ~

"There appear to be a few guards outside." Quan Chi said, observing the building. "I can deal with them."

 

-Outside Mrs. Frizzle's Classroom-

Realizing that he had loudly expressed his anger towards Mario, Jr. quickly clapped his hands against his mouth, hoping that nobody had heard him yelling. After a few moments of silence, Jr. relaxed a bit before muttering "That was a close one. I better get my butt inside before I end up getting grounded more." He then snuck over to the door and slowly turned the knob, hoping to avoid Mrs. Frizzle's attention as he went into the classroom.

-In The Halls Of Nintendo High-

"Right then, clank, let's get to work. You know how to use a mop, right?" said Dingodile as he pointed at the said object in question in Springtrap's hand. The robot looked at him in annoyance, before mechanically stuttering out "It-it-it's a m-mop. How h-hard can it b-be to use? And s-s-s-stop calling me 'c-clank'! I h-have a name, y-you know!"

"Whatever, clank. Now get to work on mopping up the hallway; I'll go handle the one downstairs." said Dingodile, waving Springtrap's complaining aside as he headed downstairs to the floor below.

Springtrap watches Dingodile as he leaves, before muttering "M-Maybe I should've j-j-just stayed in that s-sealed off area; a-at least I wouldn't b-be mopping up floors..." before he begins working on his task.

Kind of short, I know, but I need more stuff storyline-wise to work with.

 

~ Police Station ~

Oliver nodded. "Yes, I'd like to file a missing persons report. It's my girlfriend, Fiona." His voice was shaky. "She...she's been missing for the past few days."

~ Near Tokyo National Museum ~

Quan Chi nodded. "Understood. Then when that time comes, I will show you some true sorcery."

~ Modern History Classroom ~

Noticing a few eyes on him, Mayhem sighed and turned toward the teacher. "Sorry about me being here." He said apologetically, pointing to Eris. "Eris here made her breakfast attack her family, so her old man wants me to supervise her today."

~ Government Classroom ~

"Miss Tyler is right, Mario." Ahmet said with a smile. "Just give it some time, and I'm sure you'll develop a great understanding of our government. Maybe it won't change your opinion, but at least give it some time before you make a final call."

~ Biology Classroom ~

Dan looked at Chris with a deep anger. "The reason I need that stuff is simple." He said matter-of-factly. "This morning, my car was vandalized by the Crystal Order. An act of pure, unadulterated malice that caused me to be late for school! It's like they're personally out to get me!" Still focused on his test, Chris whispered back. "Dan, I think the Crystal Order has more deplorable things to do than destroy your car. And I doubt they're 'out to get you'. You're just being paranoid. So why do you need napalm, anyway?" "Simple." Dan replied. "I'm going to find the Crystal Order's base and use the napalm to blow it up."

~ Vector Building: Fulgore's Processing Room ~

Fulgore grabbed the S-Types he captured and began to force them into a strange machine.

~ ??? ~

Fiona walked around the mysterious room she awoke in. "Where am I? And where is here?" She examined the room's structure. "This doesn't seem like any building I'd find in Japan."

~ Dr. Fennhoff's Office ~

"You think so?" Castiel asked. "Very well. I recall the day she took me home...It was...rainy. I was wandering around Japan, soaked. Orchid walked by and stopped to talk to me. I told her what I knew of my past, and she revealed she was an agent. We talked for a few hours in one of the parks, until the rain began to come down more, so she offered to give me shelter at her home for a while."

~ Park ~

Crowds of people were walking away from a part of the park, looking at each other in confusion. "Who are these guys?" "'Devil Frog'? Never heard of 'em." "Man, what a bunch of weirdos..." Two young men were playing music in the park: a tall man with long blonde hair playing the guitar and a chubby brunette with long wavy brown hair playing drums. Once they were done and noticed no one was listening, the blonde, Rock, looked at the guitar case he left on the ground. It was empty. "Aw, man." He muttered. "No tips again? Dude, we gotta find our big gig! How are we supposed to get famous like this?" The brunette, Spud, shrugged and began lazily reading a rock and roll magazine.

~ Lin Kuei Temple ~

As Jade walked the halls of the temple, she felt a sharp pain in her head. It was intense, and soon she fell onto the floor. A blue light enveloped her and flew from her body, taking the form of a woman in a cloak. The blue woman looked around, eyeing her surroundings. "So, this is the Earthrealm." She spoke softly. "I must seek HIM out." Looking down at Jade, the blue woman shook her head and walked away.

~ Tatadohama Beach ~

"I see. Well, this certainly has been a very...informative interview." The reporter said as Jack, Armstrong, Carly and Conrad went their seperate ways. "Erm, now let's talk with some of the beachgoers to see what they think." She looked around until she saw a man wearing black and yellow surfing gear. "Excuse me! What do you think of this whole alien artifact craze." The surfer smiled. "Well, it's totally radical that we like, found these things." He replied in a heavy surfer accent. "My bros were all like 'Joe, dude, you have to, like, go get some of those artifact things'! And I was all like 'No way, dude! That's totally way too much work'! And they were all 'Dude, it would be so totally radical if you did'! And then I was like 'It would be so radical if I did, so I'll do it'! So, I'm gonna be taking my underwater rider and go hunting for those things." Grinning wildly, Joe made a 'hang loose' sign with his hand. "Well, seems like everyone is going to hunt for these mysterious artifacts." The reporter said. "We'll keep you updated on any new developments."

~ Mordrid Corp.: CEO's Office ~

Dana Nadel, CEO of Mordrid Corp., watched the report at Tatadohama Beach. Greed shone in her eyes as she thought of the alien artifacts. "Boys!" She addressed two businessmen nearby. "Go prepare the company submarine! We're going hunting for those alien artifacts! Think of the power they have! Think about how we can exploit that power to make glorious, glorious money!"

~ Oceanographic Laboratory in France ~

Three Frenchmen watched the report with interest. "Ah ha!" One spoke. "Do you see zis, gentlemen?! Our chance!" "Chance?" Another replied, shaking. "F-For what?" "For too long, Japan has been ze focal point of most scientific discovery! But if we, ze French oceanographers, find those artifacts and discover ze secret to re-establishing contact with ze Cephalopods, then France will be credited! Think of what sort of glory that would bring! France would outshine Japan!" He pointed at his two partners. "Come, gentlemen! We make haste to Japan, and bring ze submarine, too!"

 

-Gym-

Fang sat on the bleacher, watching the students. Hikari, a freshman and ToQ4 of the Ressha Sentai ToQgers, tried the pole value, taking about three tries to successfully land on the mat. Right, Hikari's teammate, tried the long jump, getting the closet to the longest distance when he landed. After standing, Right watched Gia do the hurdles while Jack tried the sprints.



-English Classroom-

Listening to Kirby read the opening of the Tale of Two Cities, Noah took notes on what he thought about the book's opening.



-Modern History Classroom-

"Well, don't really care but if she's late, she's getting a warning shot." Dante said, taking out Ebony, Billy shouted, "Dante, put that thing away!" Dante pouted while some of the students shook at the sight of Dante's gun. Haru shook while Kagura just covered her eyes.



-Music Classroom-

Tuning her cello, Kira took a breath and softly began to play with the other sting players, Nero waited with the wind instrument players, holding his flute.



-Creative Arts Classroom-

Namine sat in her seat, sketching the White Ranger and the Pink Ranger together. She listened to the students ask her if she thought that the secret civilian identities of the Rangers were in love, Mio looked at them and said, "If that's what she thinks, then leave her alone. Sides, it's not like you all know the identities of the Rangers either." After quieting the students, Mio returned to her sketch being of her friends, Right and Haru.



-Coffee Shop-

Alice gently touched John's hand. "I'm sure it will get better, you'll see. Just keep trying your best and everything will turn alright."



-Remus' house-

Stretching, James received a call from Navi, "Yeah, Navi?" "The sensors have picked a reading near Nintendo Elementary, so Zedd might attack there." Navi said. James thought for a moment. "Alright, Lily, Moony, and I will head to the school." "Simba and Nala will meet you there." Navi said, James nodded, Remus asked, "How will we get there? Teleport?" "No, that might cause some unneeded attention." Lily said. "Lets use the bike, sure there's a sidecar I can use somewhere."



-Near Nintendo Elementary-

Simba walked up to the gate of the school with Nala and saw her wave when Lily, James, and Remus appeared, James having rode on Lily's motorbike with her while Remus rode on his own bike. James looked at the school, wondering if the Wilys were doing alright.



-Limo-

"Yeah, some week." Anna said, looking at her sister. Elsa never had a friend who could understand her power, but she did and probably felt guilty about him being on trial so she was going to help prove his innocence.



-Police Station-

Stepping out of her office, Kiriko Shijima looked at Oliver, hearing his request, and said, "Of course, sir. Can you tell us what she looks like and where she was last seen?"

 

~Tokyo Streets: Mad Gear Tournament~

Spoiler: Rival Theme

The two girl's fists clashed as they parried each others' blows. For a pair of school aged girls, they certainly knew their way around fighting. This clearly was much more than a little squabble between kids, though, for each blow that connected sounded much fiercer than the last. By the time they took a breath, Sakura appeared to have a bloody nose, and Karin's lip was bleeding.

"You seem to be keeping up, Kanzuki. I'm impressed!" Sakura said with a smirk.
"Not as impressed as I am by you, Kasugano." Karin spit out blood and smirked back, "Chasing that Ryu character has indeed landed you some good moves, I like it."
"Hehehe. It's a shame you'd never be able to replicate them in a million years!" Sakura reared her hands back and cupped them, charging an energy blast, "Hadoken!" she said, letting it fly.

Karin ran forward and flipped over it, then ran towards Sakura, "Shooooooryuken!" she called out, jumping and uppercutting Sakura. However, just before the blow connected, Karin's hand lit on fire. Karin hit Sakura with all her might, knocking her over, but not burning her for some reason. She shook her hand and ran over to Sakura. Why had that happened? She had only meant it as a joke...

"Are you alright!? Sakura!" she shook her rival and listened for breathing, which was still there. Karin had won the round, but that sudden spurt of energy frightened her ever so slightly. She sighed in relief.

Sakura came to a couple of minutes later and rubbed her jaw. A hand was offered to her and she took it, standing up. It was Karin. "Karin, how did you-?"

"We can talk after the match is over, Sakura." Karin interrupted, "We have another round before we can stop." She resumed her fighting stance and stared at Sakura to do the same.

That made Sakura snap. How often was Karin going to treat her like nothing more than a person who she fought? She'd at least expect SOME amount of respect from her since she did beat her in their first fight years ago. With an animalistic cry, she ran forward and began to wail on Karin.

Karin staggered back after each blow, completely overwhelmed. She collapsed afterwards, down for the count. One round left to go. Sae stood up after recovering her senses once more. Sakura was definitely not holding back.

"Had enough?" Sakura asked, ready to charge again when Karin had stood up once more. She had been hoping it would be an actual KO, but apparently the world was not that sweet.

"Never!" Karin said, assuming her fighting stance again. Sakura charged at her and she blocked, holding the other girl's fist, then grabbing her head and slamming it into her knee multiple times. She finally grabbed Sakura and slammed her down, landing with her elbow on Sakura's stomach. Karin backflipped away, knowing her rival wouldn't be down for long. She was right, as not even a second later, Sakura stood up, panting. She and Karin stared each other down, pure hatred in one another's eyes.

This fight was only just beginning.

~Lauren and Tsukasa~

​

"Look Tsukasa, I'm going to make this quick. If you ever need help, just say the word. Without you, Mako wouldn't be with us any longer, and it means a lot to all of us that you'd help us out despite our prior squabbles." Lauren rushed her hair out of her eyes, "Even Genta was saying how much he appreciates you being around to help us. So... thank you, again."

 

-Tokyo Sewers: Near The Mad Gear Tournament-

"Still hungry...need more prey..." hissed Killer Croc as he slinked through the sewers, before hearing the sound of people cheering something on overhead. Licking his reptilian lips, he says "Lunchtime..." and begins making his way to the streets above.

-Nintendo Elementary: Mrs. Frizzle's Classroom-

Having entered the classroom, Jr. begins sneaking over to his desk, certain that Mrs. Frizzle hadn't seen him enter the room.

 

~Tsukasa and Lauren~

Tsukasa eyes widened a fraction as he listened to Lauren. "I just felt like helping out that time." Tsukasa said without any hesitation and took a moment to consider something. "You might get a chance to stop the two annoyances on the moon if they keep their word about finishing me." Tsukasa noted her curiosity. "Oh, had a small invitation by Rita and Zedd to cause their cause about a couple of days ago, nagging old timers, so I beat them back by myself with their monkey." Tsukasa said casually, as if the weather was nice.

~Harold~

Harold blinked at the convoy of motorcycles as Jenny said they couldn't be too careful and rubbed his hair a bit. "Well, it's better than walking in plain sight, wouldn't you agree?" Harold suggested to Matt and clambered in and tried to get comfortable and gave a small sigh as he heard Foggy and Matt join him and the sound of the door shutting. "How much should I bet there'll be a crowd to greet me?" Harold asked.

~Vergil~

Vergil gave only the simplest nod and took a breather. "Now there is not to say there are Demons who do abide by the law that Miss Shimmer explained, not all Demons want to live alongside the human population, there are some who can take on human guises, but so far, no Demon has been bold enough to make a big move,, perhaps they might have in another country but in Japan, that's something different, you can thank your military for keeping an eye on everything, some of which are masters in their art, my brother is a Demon Slayer as well." Vergil said the last few words almost tiredly as there was questions about his brother.

"Dante? He just messes around and does what he pleases, but you'll find once he starts demon hunting compassion tends to take the back seat, he keeps saying he'll open up a business for this job but hasn't found a suitable place, I too am a Demon Slayer, although, my expertise is much more refined, any Demon has one fact that beats them every time, and that is.... cold hard steel." Vergil said unsheathing Yamato for a small bit for all to o gaze upon it.

"Now I cannot personally train you in the art of combat, but I can prepare you for the kind of Demons you could be facing, there is a saying that knowledge is power, and I'll ensure that saying is drilled into your heads until it's a part of your rountine."

 

~ Modern History Classroom ~

Mayhem chuckled as Eris pouted. "Nah, don't sweat it." He said with a grin. "I got her here on time. And don't point that at Eris, please. You're giving her ideas." To emphasize his point, Mayhem pointed at Eris, who had a large grin as she eyed Ebony with a mischievous look. "No, Eris." Mayhem scolded. "No more chaos for you today." Eris crossed her arms and pouted.

~ Police Station ~

"Of course." Oliver replied, turning to Kiriko. "Her name is Fiona Belli. I have a photo of her here. As for the last place I saw her...we went on a date to Twinkle Park around three days ago. She had to run some errands, so we parted ways. I didn't hear from her for a while. She's a Literature student at Tokyo University, so I figured she was busy. This morning I went to her place to check up on her. It looked like someone had broken in and her dog, Hewie, was missing."

~ ??? ~

Fiona looked around the room until she saw a table in poor condition, with some kind of map rested on it. "This is...a map of Europe!" She stated, picking it up. "But why would there be a map of Europe here. I should still be in Japan, shouldn't I?"

~ Demonology Classroom ~

"Dean! You heard that, right?" Sam whispered to his brother. "We should definitely take notes if we really want to up our demon-hunting skills!" Dean nodded. "You think he knows a few tricks our dad doesn't?" He asked Sam, who shrugged.

~ Biology Classroom ~

"I am so sorry, Mr. Coulson." Chris apologized profusely. "I was trying to focus on my test, but Dan insisted. I'll get back to work now, sir." As Chris focused on his test, promising to block out his friend, Dan scowled. "If you MUST know what we're discussing Mr. Coulson, I'm going to blow up the Crystal Order for scratching my car." He explained as if it were a simple chore.

~ Park ~

Seeing the Jigglypuff, Rock grinned. "You wanna sing with us, little dude? Sure! What do you think, Spud?" The brunette nodded, smiling at Jigglypuff. Both put on their headsets, plugged in their speakers and invited the Pokémon on stage.

~ Dr. Fennhoff's Office ~

"Thank you." Orchid said as she smiled and took two glasses, handing one to Castiel. The S-Type gratefully took the glass.

~ Porta Vista ~

Don left his hotel room, ready to start another day of searching. "Better not call Charlie right now. He's probably teaching some of that advanced math stuff."

~ Lin Kuei Temple ~

Kuai, Kitana and Mileena entered the temple and quickly found Jade. The three helped her up and into a nearby chair. "Jade!" Kitana addressed her friend with concern. "Are you okay? What happened?" Jade shook her head. "It's...nothing. I suppose I passed out a bit. Nothing serious, princess." She noticed both Kitana and Mileena holding a Pokéball each. "Ah, I see Kuai has finally brought you to catch one of those things, did he?" "I did." Kuai responded. "I am sorry it took so long to get around to it. Blizzards aren't very common near the temple. This is a bad omen." He shook his head. "But anyway, how about you show her your first captures, ladies?"

Kitana nodded and threw her Pokéball, follwed by Mileena.

Spoiler: Kitana and Mileena's Pokémon

Kitana: Mileena:

Jade eyed Mileena's catch. "That's certainly not what I'd expect you to get. Something with sharp teeth would fit better." Kitana laughed. "Yes. But Mileena saw it, thought it was cute and wanted to catch it."

~ Tokyo National Museum ~

Watching with satisfaction as the visitors began to leave, Quan Chi quickly caught two guards rushing for the security room. He stood in their way and reached out toward them. Green aura flowed through his hands as the guards suddenly stopped. Their eyes changed to an unnatural green color as they willessly froze. "Now then." Quan Chi spoke. "Be dutiful guards and send the visitors on their way." Under Quan Chi's control, the guards did as he said and began escorting people out of the museum.

 

-Nintendo Elementary School: Playground-

"Man, that was a close one...I was close to getting caught."

Ah, recess. Jr. Troopa's favorite part of the day. Not only was it because of no schoolwork (until the next class anyway), but because he could continue to plot his revenge on that blasted Mario.

Sure, there was that thing going on with the Muppets or something, but Jr. couldn't give a rat's rear end about all that. He had bigger fish to fry.

Mustachioed, red-capped fish.

-Sewers Of Tokyo: Near The Mad Gear Tournament-

"So close...I can smell them..." hissed Killer Croc as he continued through the sewers towards the tournament grounds.

He could hear the sounds of cheering growing louder as he proceeded onwards. Soon it would be time to feed again.

Peering through a nearby storm drain, Killer Croc looks around the area to find a large group of people cheering on a fight between two female humans; one with short brown-hair and one with blonde hair that looked to be braided.

"They smell especially delicious..." hissed Killer Croc in a whispered voice, before deciding that they would make for sufficient prey.

Recalling that there was a nearby exit to the streets (one that he had made use of many times when hunting for food), Killer Croc begins making his way to the exit.

-Hallways of Nintendo High-

After an hour of mopping, Springtrap had finally finished up with the floor he was currently on.

Looking around the area, he realizeds that the school was a lot different than he remembered, having been sealed away in the abandoned area for a long time, and he had no idea on where everything was now.

Placing the mop aside for the moment, Springtrap began to wander through the hallway.

 

~Demonology Classroom~

Vergil turned on his heel to stare at Sunset Shimmer and walked up to her desk, looking down upon her with a calm and calculated stare, the room's temperature felt like it dropped. "Miss Shimmer was it? You may disagree with me on my choice of words, but I'm very much entitled to my own opinion on the matter, it's called individuality, let me ask you this." Vergil said calmly. "Let's say your demonic abilities helps you against those residing in the Underworld, are you confident enough to face the many bad demons as you so call them while ensuring humanity doesn't caught in the crossfire?" Vergil said calmly.

"Because Hell has many different Demons, some small, some large, some with terrifying and unique powers or a combination of all, let me tell you a story of one Demon that turned his back on his fellow demonkind and instead protected the world you live in today, his name was Sparda, he was a Demon much like yourself but he woke up to justice and stood against legions of varying Demons including their master all by himself, he eventually beat them all back but sealed himself as wlel due to his power having grown strong, eventually he escaped his prison and thus quietly retreated to this world to preserve harmony until his death, he would be known as the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda." Vegril said.

"Named Demons are the more mysterious ones Miss Shimmer and those in hell shall always want to come to the human world for raw materials, you are only very fortunate that none of the higher tier beings of Hell can't pass into the human world so easily, not without outside help, my job." Vergil raised Yamato and put it back down, making a thud heard through the room. "Is to teach everyone this year how to defend themselves for one year, there is always ways for Hell to come through, even if this country does not know it, that job is left up to those who carry the burden of Demon Slayers, a job that's gruesome and messy, not everything is all sunshine and rainbow's Miss Shimmer, if you personally disagree with my teachings then by all means, leave and file a complaint to the Headmaster but he won't accept it." Vergil's piercing blue eyes stared at Sunset's.

"If he does by some miracle take your complaint seriously and fires me, you'll be doing me a great service because Miss Shimmer, I am one of those Demon Slayers who works to ensure this world is safe from those Demons, so let me ask you again, are you sure you confident enough to take on the burden of facing hordes of Demons who want to lay waste to the world with your abilities without humanity getting caught inbetween?" Vergil asked.

~Harold~

Harold gave a sigh. "Merlin, now I learn how fame feels." Harold dryly said and gave a sigh. "Win or lose this case, I'll still pay you for your cooperation, depends on whose going to be fighting against us in this case." Harold said

 

Spoiler: Rival Battle Theme

~Posting from mobile, excuse the lack of formatting~

Karin and Sakura grappled fiercely. Neither of them seemed to be letting up or losing stamina at all. It was quite impressive. For just a street fight between two girls, the spectators seemed to be really into it too. It was almost as if they were all in a trance. Nothing else mattered, each girl just wanted victory.

Sakura punched and Karin blocked. Karin punched and Sakura blocked. This was the most incredible display of fighting that many people had ever seen.

As Sakura picked up Karin and threw her, Karin landed on her hands, making sure she didn't get hurt at all. One mistake and it was all over. She paused and smirked at Sakura, then suddenly frowned. She had a feeling something awful was coming. She turned and looked at all the spectators. No one out of place seemed to be around. Karin just shook it off and continued the fight, thinking her feeling was redundant, except...

Sakura was also paused and looking around. Something WAS wrong.

Karin nodded at Sakura, who nodded back. They kept going, but held back slightly. If something WAS coming, they would need to keep each other around. If either one was incapacitated, neither one would likely be able to hold on for whatever came, their fight had dragged on too long.

 

-Teacher's Lounge-

Setsuna was in the teacher's lounge, printing out the sheets for the next Biology class. She looked as Serena came in with papers from her first period class, Setsuna seemed to realize something, she looked at Serena, "Serena, I need to get some supplies from home. These are almost done, just place them on Phil's desk. I'll be right back." She left the room and headed for her bike, leaving Serena alone.



-Gym-

Fang watched everyone and ran along the students in the sprints, showing her speed. Imagining that he could run faster than his teacher, Right joined in the sprints, hoping to work up his hunger for lunch. Hikari just facepalmed, 'Right.... you're too reckeless.'



-Dojo-

Finishing dressing in his gi, Tommy took a breath and practiced his martial arts, wanting to keep his skills fresh for the next fight.



-Modern History Classroom-

"Consider this a warning, miss 'mistress' of chaos." Dante said, twirling Ebony before pointing it to the ceiling. "Think of any chaos and mischief in this class and I won't hesitate to use this, Ivory, or Rebellion." Haru just shook while Kagura thought he was unique, Billy groaned as Dante put Ebony away.



-Library-

Philip sat in the Library, reading some of the books he had found in the massive library. He recalled his interview when he got the job, he smiled and read the book he had.



-Coffee Shop-

Alice was surprised at John's suggestion, "Y-yes, we all should go to the beach. I'm sure Blanca would love it. Not sure about Yuri."



-Moon Kingdom CyberSpace Cafe-

Hayley turned on the TV to listen to the trial while she prepared the cafe for the later customers, taking out and checking the ingredients she had so the orders could made be, enough pens and paper for writing the orders.



-Police Station-

Writing what Oliver said and looking at the photo of Fiona, "No worries, sir, we will work hard to find her."



-Courthouse-

Aerith stepped out of Carter's car and looked as she saw the limo come up, the door opened and Elsa stepped out, trying not to look at the media who asked her various questions about Harold.



-Nintendo Elementary-

"So, how do we do this without looking like we're stalking?" Remus said, standing with his allies as he held his Melon Lockseed at the school gate. James smiled, "That's simple, Moony. We wait the enemy out. When they appear, we'll simply transform and stop them." "Could be dangerous." Simba said, Nala smiled, "It will be fine, Simba." Lily smiled and nodded.



-Playground-

Hotaru looked at the students playing with each other and tried to follow what Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru told her about making friends. WilyKit and WilyKat laughed and played with the students they knew in their class. Sakura sat with Tomoyo, talking about what the Clow Cards could do.
