Computer Lab Mayhem [CLOSED - CAPACITY REACHED]

“Oh, I think enough to knock a few subjects off the curriculum budget. Business studies, art, sociology. It really all depends on whether their insurance covers attack by us.” Pix replied smugly.

The teenage terrors each knew why they had chosen a school to ransack. It was acting out a fantasy; what they all wished they could do to those rigid reform classrooms back at the academy. And yet, ideas never came into being. Most acts of rebellion, so prevalent in Hugh's previous education establishments, were not an option when he considered the disapproval of their schoolmasters...

Best not to dwell on it too much. Hugh placated himself by launching a CPU after the evacuating children. Circuit-boards and micro-processors rained across them. Wanton destruction always made the difficult thoughts go away. He was evidently happy now (^_^), though if Cheshire began scratching that chalk board again, he may end up breaking that.

Despite complete anarchy, Pix left the computer monitors alone. They were useful to him. Even now the majority of them had been manipulated to show the H.I.V.E insignia. It was a simple technique of changing pixel colours. The pattern he had memorised after hours of 'having nothing better to do'. It was a neat party trick, and afforded the academy some cheap advertising. Who among his peers wouldn't be impressed?

“Backtrack a second. What makes you so sure the Titans even get involved with poky places like this? There's nothing valuable.” Unless you counted knowledge, which Pix certainly didn't.

Remnants of the crowd scurried out as Pix turned, looking back at the grinning mask. Cheshire's anonymity irked him somewhat. The whole concealment thing was going to lengths he wasn't willing to take. That smile was in fact mocking his transparency. Or so he told himself. Another reason Hugh wasn't exactly thrilled to be working with her could have been because the girl could kick his ass. Though he regarded martial-arts training as 'cheating' in this instance.

As to their possible audiences, Cheshire seemed quite adamant that they would receive visitation. The Titans were a busy group, Pix wasn't so certain. Let them come, he felt safe(r) while surrounded by the multitude of LED technology. Her forecast of victory did surprise him though. Hugh didn't know she put so much stock in his abili- wait, this was more self-confidence, wasn't it...? To think his own ego almost got carried away.

His face changed emoticon (>_>), “Fine. But if they stand you up, don't come crying to me. I'm mainly here for the smashing things part. Not much can go wrong there.” Pix threw a keyboard to the ground and stomped on it. With maybe a button or two dislodged, he turned to less enfeebling demonstrations of his power. A cloud of pixels peeled off the computer screens and collected beside him. He could work with these.

Dean sped up and down the halls of the school slashing lockers to bits with his daggers thanks to his high speed running and stealing what was inside. Finding pix and cheshire in the tech lab, "hey Kitty cat digital dude these losers are loaded with cash and gizmos want me to grab you two anything"

Occ: ok did that on my cell phone it sucks I know

It had been a somewhat tiresome day. The days at Murakami High were close to becoming a whole new adventure for Ryuko. Where he was raised, he had no such classes. Where he was trained, all was disciplined, none went out of line, for the severe punishment was never worth it.

Murakami High however, preferred a broad spectrum of subjects to be taught to it's students. It preferred to leave the choice with it's young and oftenly subtly talented students. Brass decisions however, often thwarted this goal. Ryuko's assessment was rather gloomy, but he knew that this, in the end, was a good school. It worked hard for it's students, the teachers were sometimes flawed but always good in their intentions.

As Ryuko walked through the hallways he felt rather awkward. He was still getting used to all of this, but one particular feature was his school uniform. It was a rule that it was worn, and he was not one to modify such clothing. He did however refuse to carry no weaponry with him at any time. Concealed within his chest pockets were a few small throwing stars. His satchel did not only contain all of his books, but also had his penultimate equipment – The Water Gauntlet. This legendary artifact was the cornerstone of Ryuko's more dormant powers, and he pitied those who would ever try to take it from him.

In his memories, Ryuko was calculating the odds of him being able to reach his locker and put on his fighting gear were any accidents to occur. Not only did his locker appear on the smaller side, not big enough to fit every piece of his armor in, it also seemed less functional in any way. Until he found a way, his armor would have to remain at home.

Violently and instantly, the undercover young Shikarii clansman was thrown out of his inner calculations as the alarm rang for a code red. Students panicked and flooded the halls, making it hard to focus on what the true problem was. Ryuko grabbed for his satchel, opened it, and slid his gauntlet on his right hand. As always, it felt like the glove was glad to be around Rain's lower forearm again. A small surge of power went through his spine, not much unlike the sensation of a chilly gust of wind.

Everyone seemed to flee from the Computer Labs. Great. If anything, Rain wasn't a fan of technology. Whatever the problem was, he wouldn't be able to solve it with his technical prowess. However, it was prudent that he would take a look.

The crowds of panicking students were not helping, especially not since they were moving in the opposite direction of where Rain was headed. Yet this mass of students, this bundle of uncontainable energy successfully masked his presence. Rain knew something was off; If this was a test of his Clan, it would not be this violent. The Shikarii clan was one of finesse, stealth, not one of destruction and chaos.

As he was close to the Labs, Rain skipped into the mens room, and let the satchel stay there. He prepared for battle, humming the Clan's incantation for courage and a flawless execution. From his satchel he took a long cloth. It was black, and seemed to be made of a very breathing material. He wrapped it around his head, efficiently covering his mouth and part of his ears. Whilst no student would remain to disclose his identity, it was never a bad things to be somewhat unrecognizable.

Rain opened the water fountains and with a swift movement of the gauntlet, the water flowed towards him, in small drops, a pristine curtain of liquid marbles.

''And now, we face our opponents..''

Rain had felt presences in the computer lab. Their bodies seemed to be humanoid at the very least, and all humanoids had water inside of them. However, one was either there or not there...as if he had fused with cold technology, and another one was so fast he could hardly keep track of it's movements.

As Ryuko moved out of the mens room, the pristine water curtain changed to white. It shaped itself into thick mists, and drifted for the technology room. Where Rain once stood, now there was nothing. He had stealthy disappeared into the mist. A feat no normal man could do, but Rain bent the mist around him with his glove, enhancing the thickness so that none would spot him as it was.

He would try to do a little reconnaissance before trying to face his opponents. Rain was, as it stood, outnumbered, and with that, possibly outmatched. If he did not know what to face, he would not stand a chance.

Were he to face exceptional odds, he would possible not fight at all. Great odds were there for Titans to face. Juno's safety was all he cared about, and she was not close at this current moment. The H.I.V.E students saw a thick mist enter the room, as unreal as it was. Rain entered with it, concealed in the thickness. Vision would not be more then half a meter unless there was an opponent who possessed exceptional eyesight.

It was Rain's wish to make the first move in name of reconnaissance. He took one of his pocket shuriken, and tried to designate a target based on the water in their bodies. One moved to fast, one had a fluctuating amount...the last one left was Cheshire.

Rain looked up. Small sprinklers. He had to keep that in mind. They would possible damage all the Computer Lab hardware, but this was a menace that needed to be contained. If it was going to save his life, he would use every advantage possible. But not just yet. He held the sharp projectile between his fingers before diligently throwing it at Cheshire. It was aimed at her right shoulder.

Rain observed the shuriken moving towards his target, but wondered if it would hit. She seemed jumpy...And how long would it take them to find him? The room hardly gave him options for cover, but Rain was confident in his abilities.

Kunoichi read the note that had been left back at the tower by Ben. She thought that she might as well go just in case assistance was needed. Arriving at the school she cautiously walked down the empty hallways. Looking at the classroom doors and lockers, she wondered if she should try attending here.
Catching up to Ben, who was standing alert outside of what the sign above the door read to be the lab, she went to him slowly not wanting to alarm him or blow their cover.
"What are we dealing with this time?" she whispered to him.

Ah, their impatient partner had finished with his rounds. Speed Demon may have been the new guy, but he was tolerable enough. Pix had even started to grow accustom to those nicknames that were being thrown around. Though he wouldn't admit as much to the younger villain. Hell forbid, he might come out with more!

Cheshire refused Speed's offer with a line of thought that sounded familiar. Oh yeah, Hugh had already said there was nothing valuable. If there was nothing of importance here, then it followed that the Titans wouldn't waste their time. Probably just get a load of cops throwing around tear gas. He assured himself that he was right on this, err... Was that tear gas here already?

A creeping mist had seeped in to the otherwise deserted room. Just the three teens with their will to wreck. It would be going beyond stubborn to suggest that it was a freak weather anomaly. Pix's face collapsed into three horizontal lines as he observed its quick progress, “Maybe a Titan. Maybe.” Came his frustrated reply. He jumped as an attack was launched, but relaxed when Pix registered it wasn't for him. The next one could be though, Cheshire had disappeared on them.

It was times like this when you could either counter or defend. Hugh chose to delegate. He turned to Speed Demon, “Think you can get rid of all that?” Some coward was hiding in the mist. Clear the vapour shroud, and the HIVE students could get back to the business of smashing something...

speed demon smirked and said "of course". He then sped around the room and tried to make the mist funnel using his mental powers and his speed to seal it with in a sheild of mental energy. When dean stopped he was holding his daggers in a relaxed reverse grip ready for an attack.

OOC: sorry that better

((Be as descriptive as possible, there is not much to work with in all honesty. Dispelling my mist could be written out so I know exactly how to react to this situation. I did not know your telekinesis could also trap liquids and I couldn't find it in your application, but I will have to make due..))

Rain knew this had been a tough task from the start. One would almost assess the situation and claim it a ''bad call''. As he watched, more and more of his mists were taken away, until he could only control that which surrounded him. And seeing a fog man was even worse.

With a gentle blink of both eyes, the mist dispersed, only to be a faint cover all around him. To his opponents, he was now clearly visible. Rain's heart beated like a solemn drum, and he felt the tension and adrenaline build up inside him. The teachings of the Clan were his only resolute factor in this chaos.

Whilst he still sensed his opponents due to their humanoid hydration levels, he now fully understood why he had trouble reading some. The last thought he had was the one he cursed most; His robe had always struck a slight degree of fear into his opponents, as they did not know what to think when they faced him. Now, he looked like a shuriken throwing student with a long cloth twisted around his lower face. He would gladly take any chance to equip his fighting gear, but that was a futile thought. A rematch, and thus, survival, were required to do so.

''And so, we commence...''

Rain's first thought was survival. His troubles had deepened. Two more appeared at the door. He could only assume them to be allies of his opponents. His odds were already steep. The screens were scrambled, this technology seemed unsalvageable. Not that there would be much to salvage in any scenario with these yet unknown rampant delinquents. He took another throwing star and threw it to cut the sprinkler. Water poured down, but not as one would think. Using the Water Gauntlet, rain bend the currents, having most of it poured on the ground, making it slippery, wet, and in his case, useable. He did not know how his rather fast opponent, and his computereque one for that matter, would react to water or slippery floors. They did get drenched though.

The Aquatic Ninja had to use all he could, as his inventory had now dwindled down to two throwing stars, and a lot of water. The water however, was not to be underestimated. As the sprinklers seized function, Rain pointed their efforts on himself, soaking himself to the human eye. In reality, he had only created a dampening layer of water, hardly touching his clothes. It would boost his movement, where water on the ground would hinder that of opponents. Te thought to create a new, even thicker mist appeared to him, but he was hesitant, believing it could aid his escape, but he was not going to do so yet. He also thought it was wise not to show Cheshire that he could read where she was by soaking her in an attempt to slow her down.

''You are all on the Clan's protected ground. They always warn you not to play with fire, but I assure you...water is no less worse.''

With that solemn sentence, Rain hastily twisted his arm in an attempt to have nearby water form an orb and sink around the head of the Speed Demon standing not a feet away from it. Suffocation until consciousness was lost was effective, he could only hope the speedster would fall for it, even if he was soaked in water. Rain himself glided towards Pix, attempting to strike this humanoid abomination where it would hurt most. Where that was, Rain did not know, but the neck never was a bad place to start. The Aqauninja leaped up and executed a spinning neck chop, using the water to aid his speed.

The battle had commenced, and Rain had effectively twisted the field of battle. His movements swift and finesse, he attempted to make quick work of this. Were he successful, they could be rfazed. If not, well...then he had to survive and rethink his strategy.

OT: Sorry for the wait my darlings.

Ben noticed as Kunoichi just as the real fight had commenced and the mist was going away. A student who appeared out of the mist was outnumbered and the other two fit the description of the troublemakers Ben got on the phone. Hwoever, the third wasn't there? Ben had missed Cheshire going invisible due to the mist, although he did notice a floating mask. Freaky scene, but nothing he hadn't dealed with before.

"HIVE students. We gotta be careful though, they took out Titan's East leader before remember? So we know they're no pushovers. It's 2 on 1 right now and one of them clearly has telekinesis by the way that mask is moving around."

Ben then held up 3 fingers to Kuno to show that they would move in at the end of his count down while still whispering. He would usually just blow them all up, but in close quarters like this the explosion could kill the student. Although, he didn't really seem to need that much help, which became evident after the sprinklers went off.

"Wow, was every student I went to school with a meta-human? Anyway, lets move in on 3, you take down the skinny one who I think has telekinesis quick and fast while I handle the rubix cube guy."

That being said, the alien transformed one of Krimzon's arms into a lance like object and used his other hand to count down from 3...2...1!

"Gotcha." She whispered as he gave the plan of attack.

Once Ben counted down, Kunoichi made her move into the room at the same time pulling out some kunais and shurikens and held them up. She charged at where she saw Chesires mask and aimed her knives and threw them at points that would just slow her down if she was hit.

After the knives she ran towards CHesire ready for a knee to the stomache.
