X-Over Academy [Started/Accepting via OoC]

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier had flown back to the academy to see more fights taking place, She had already sensed the portal that several badies had used to get away, which kick-started more images in her mind, however, the flood of images caused Zeimaier to roar in pain, crashing into the wall of the building. She continued to struggle as she suffered from a massive Migraine, Red Electricity shot from her body, zapping on her or around her, As this electricity arced and hit the some areas, Black Cubes, each with a large, red dot appeared around her, When 5-6 of them appeared, The pain subsided as her Striker slid off of her, Causing her Gatling gun to slide from her back to the ground, She grabbed her wheelchair on the inside and stuck her Gatling gun on it and stuck her strikers inside the compartment of her wheelchair....

[Jolta]

Nanomech noticed Zeimaier readying an attack. "NOTHING TOO DRASTIC! PLEASE!" Nanomech retaliated "They're just kids, [size="1"]very, very immature kids[/size]."
"Well, we know what to do! Sis, ready?" Yellow nudged at his sister. Next, Pink created a strong, powerful, telekinetic barrier, seperating all the fighters from each other.

"You could've done that... from the start," Nanomech said as he turned back into Ben. "Kay... when do I get out?"

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Alexander, noticing he had no business being there after the fight started, left a while ago. He was once again searching the campus for his old friend Makoto, but again, to no avail.
"Where could she be...Maybe she's in another class? Hmm...She could be late..."

[size="7"]* * *[/size]
[size="2"]Makoto Nanaya was sitting in an old oak tree next door to the combat training class. She was supposed to be in class now, but she arrived late, and that was when everything went chaotic.[/size]
[size="2"]"...Well, whatever that was, it seems like its over now...Hmm...Well, class is already a little more than half over, so I might as well just stay here..."[/size]
[size="2"]And on that thought, she curled up with her tail and took a nap in the branches.[/size]

[Yu Hansung]

Nikki's ink sphere fell apart the minute the teacher said the principal's name. She was breathing very heavily and still sweating but her eyes were returning to normal and she was no longer sweating ink. She tried to glare in the direction of Akira and took one step towards him, as if she was planning on still just socking him in the nose. Instead her eyes rolled up into her head and she fell forward, barely breathing. The ink in the room not connected to Nikki immediately started to evaporate into nothingness while any ink still connected to her started to flow back into her through her skin. As the ink evaporated from the walls it showed signs of corrosion as if the ink had started to billow outwards as well instead of just going towards the inside of the room.

The sketch of the little yellow creature the teacher had shown them seemed to be screaming in pain, pawing at the smudge.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier sat on her wheelchair, panting hard from the pain she had a few seconds ago, She said "Okay, That wasn't normal What the Hell Ha-" She interrupted herself seeing the Neuroi cubes orbitting around her, She screamed, Swatting at the cubes, whhich simply avoided her swatting as she was screaming "Ohmyf*ckinggodwhatthef*ckbbqsauce, what in the hell are these doing around me!?" Then she realized "Wait a minute, Why aren't they shooting at me? Could it be?"...

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Sora was kind of disappointed that he wasn't able to show everyone the strength of the Keyblade wielder, but he was alright. He tossed his Oblivion Keyblade in the air, watching it disappear. Then he looked at the kids fighting and he kinda chuckled a little. "This kinda reminds me of when me and Riku would argue over stuff." he said smiling. Sora then chuckled again, as he thought of something else. "Either that or when me and Donald had that falling out when we arrived at Deep Jungle."

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

OoC: Apologies if I'm being presumptuous in defining the mechanics of Pink's barrier. I'm trying to a) be a teacher and b) give the students room to develop. Do PM or something if I'm out of line.
Also, the setting is so vague right now that I have no idea what's going on. I don't know how the barrier works (hence my improvisation) or where it is, and I haven't the foggiest idea what's going on with Zeimaier. If anything I do contradicts the setting as you understand it, just read my post in broad strokes.

IC:

When she'd elected to teach at an interdimensional school of war, Eirin had expected trouble. If a being is powerful enough to be able to attend such a school and immature enough to need it, she will find herself causing and receiving a great many problems. She wasn't stupid.

She had to admit, however, that she didn't think she'd see patients in need on the first day of class.

Mysterious assailants of some far-off dimension had launched an attack on the very first day. Eirin suspected a very poorly thought-out plan to catch the Academics off guard. The students, amusingly, managed to keep the situation under control, though the teachers were ordered to sortie. Thus, Eirin had abandoned planning her first lesson and rushed off to make sure that everyone was still alive and well.

Amazingly, she'd stumbled upon two students fighting with [i]each other[/i] near the battlefield shortly after the fighting was over. One of them passed out from overexertion almost as soon as she arrived. This was no surprise -- manipulating a room's worth of ink into a spherical barrier was Stage Four magic, by Gensokyo standards, and very few students would have that level of power and experience. Of course, in Gensokyo, one would probably allow the barrier to disperse after a few seconds -- keeping it up that long might send it over the edge of Stage Five. The other one was more or less just standing there, stunned that his attacks had been negated by the ink-wielder's spectacular barrier.

Eirin waited for the ink to dry before stepping out to meet with her fellow teacher, Miss Sparks. A young woman near Sparks was attempting to keep the situation under control, though her methods were horribly inefficient. She'd created several pink barriers, psionic rather than magical and utterly flat. The barrier's structure didn't show any concern for architecture; a concentrated attack would blow right through it. Even so, constructing such a strong barrier in so little time with only psionic force was quite impressive. Even if she did have much to learn, the girl had potential.

"Shall I tend to this one, Sparks-san?" Eirin asked her coworker, gesturing towards the fallen ink-wielder. "I recommend you incapacitate the other students and see to it that this doesn't happen again. If we're brawling amongst ourselves on the first day here, any competent adversary will be able to turn the academy inside-out if we don't get to work."

Eirin wasted no time in picking up the unconscious girl and taking off from the ground. She set off for the infirmary -- the girl's body wasn't as strong as her magic, and Eirin would have to ensure that the magic wasn't harming or hindering the body beyond exhaustion.

Meanwhile, a very competent adversary plotted to turn the academy inside-out.

***

She'd been against the plan at first. She would have preferred repeated hit-and-run attacks against the children, incapacitating one at a time. Of course, she could help a great deal with that -- the Academy could raise no defence that would keep her out, after all, and she was no slouch at kidnapping. She wasn't called 神隠しの主犯 -- [i]mastermind of the spiriting away[/i] -- for nothing.

But it would be much more amusing to let the others run the show for the moment. And if she played her cards right, this ineffective reconnaissance could prove more useful than a true assault on the Academy.

The scouts had returned. Time to make a plan.

[color="#4B0082"][i][font="Palatino Linotype"]"Welcome back."[/font][/i][/color]

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier looked as some Nurse carried away a girl to the infirmary, and her own suggestion to incapacitate the other students, She face-palmed at that suggestion and then sighed, She then wondered out loud "Boy, Is that nurse retarded or what?", She giggled at her own insults, She always seemed to hated teachers that assume random stuff about the other students that are not true or do actions that should not be done as a teacher, She jumped in the window and said "Really Miss? Punish the ENTIRE class for something 2 weakling students had done? Oh Puhlease!", Her wolf ears and wolf tail were now visible once again as a red aura surrounded her...

[TitanKing]

Akira looked on as the teacher and a few of the other students stopped the fighting "it looks like this is where we stop" he said softly to himself. He waved his hand causing the earth barriar in front of his to turn into dust. He looked at the teacher as the rolled down his sleeve he watched as another teacher carried nikki away he watched her take nikki out of the class [i]"it seems that teacher is very powerful.....and has a strong magicial aura"[/i]. He turns around looking at the destruction in the class "maybe we got a little carried away.....but it was fun....too bad we didn't get to go all out.......we would consider that a warmup" he shrugs his shoulders "maybe next time". He thinks [i]"we came this to understand beings in other universe not be be driven by out primal instincts to fight"[/i] he lifts his head "oh well".


~~~~~~

Albedo sat in his lab at the Neo sin citadel working on his xenotrix "just a little more and it should be ready". He picks up a black crystal and places it in a machine next to the xenotrix the crystal begins to glow as well as the xenotrix. Moments later the xenotrix glows black [i][color=red]"Xenotrix Function 006 activate.....fusion function unlocked"[/color][/i] Albedo smiled and picked picked it up and placed it on his arm. The deivice wrapped around his arm extending up to his elbow "all I need now is a text run".

[Hydra of Ages]

Joshua paused as he watched the frothing tendrils of ink peter out, then die as their master lost consciousness. The ink that had once canvased nearly the entire room faded away without a trace, leaving behind only the steaming burns incinerated into the backing material. For a few long seconds, Joshua simply stared at her face; unblinking, unmoving, the deep gray pools that were in his eyes sparkling with an unidentifiable light.

He cracked a smile and for the first time in a while, it wasn't a smirk. With a strange, almost hesitant expression, he picked up the dropped draft and held it for a second. The small creature made of pencil and ink was a simple beast, just lines an canvas- but it howled with pain and pawed at its injury in a futile attempt to ease its suffering.

"So much creativity... in such a small creature..." he mused outloud. Reclusive artists were always an interesting subject for Games, but to imagine- someone capable of creating life through their drawings- or at the very least, a reasonable facsimile of life. Joshua didn't have all the details yet, but he did know the sketch he held pulsed with a vibrant and very much alive Vibe -not a Noise, not a human, but something in between. Some fragment of emotion or consciousness, trapped between pen and paper. He wasn't sure how to describe it himself; even as Composer, he hadn't seen anything quite like it.

Hanekoma might know.

Joshua suddenly tightened his grip and crumpled the sketch. His vision flashed through a hundred and eight seals, innumerable dimensions of complexity and power passing by his consciousness simultaneously as he reached deep into the back of the Grounds, pulling at the very essence of existence. With a simple gesture, he dismissed the fragile bonds that kept the piece of paper together and with a short fissile, it was gone; Soul unbonded and the individual particles left to return to the Ambiance, there was nothing left to show that there had ever been a life held in Joshua's hands. Erased from reality- true death.

His smile faded, though slowly, into a familiar smirk.

Suddenly, things had gotten interesting.

-

Every good plan starts and ends with the Wildcard.

So it had always been for Alex. Bonds that were stone, facts that were immutable- such things were useless. Water ran through gaps and cracks, it reached to the lowest point and tore chasms through unbreakable stone; it evaporated, rained, moved, froze, flowed, stagnated and diluted. Water was precious, the lifeblood of a society. The lifeblood of a person.

Always start by finding the water. From there, you can follow the stream.

Yukari Yukumu. She had no goal, or at least none she'd seen fit to mention to the group. Her sensibilities didn't reflect the clan. She opposed their methods, crude though they were. She had literally no reason to join them, to aid them- or even to subvert them, for there would be no point in her sabotaging the Clans works from the inside out. When Alex saw her, he saw someone who would surprise the masses. Someone who would break the status quo, and by doing so, change the terms of the game.

Alex always felt his job was simple. He had a goal -sometimes it was large, sometimes it was small- that he had to reach. To do so, all he had to do was abide by the rules of the game- the game that nobody else but him knew that they were playing, because they hadn't bothered to check the rules of each other's pieces. You can only make a move once you know where everyone else will move. And -most especially- you can only make a move when you know to which direction the water will flow, chaotic though it may seem at first.

Alex examined the card. The Fool- for him, it was a picture of an Adept, not unlike himself, teetering over the edge of a cliff. Beneath the cliff was the vast ocean, water trickling down from the rocks in steady streams, the titular fool looking without a care in the world.

He put down the card, carefully, on the center of a table in front of him. He looked up at the scouts as they returned, and smirked. "Anything of importance to report?" he asked, whimsically, turning back to his deck almost immediately. Even so, his back stood straight, and his body held stiff- he couldn't relax, yet. Not yet.

[Jolta]

"Now, now, Ms Yagokoro, I'm not being harsh. I am also the Counselor who can lend a listening ear. Someone needs a little... counseling... not everyone... yet. I'll settle this like they do in the West..."
"Here's a relief. I say, Corporal Punishment is plain wrong," Yellow spoke irrelevantly.
"Wha- OK, thanks Ms Sparks..." Ben said. "I think all's well that ends well.

The bell, rang.

"Whoever was truly, truly, honestly involved in this fight please do report to the Counseling room near the Cafeteria. Time for the next lesson. I love being the counseling subby..."
Ms Sparks walked out. The counseling substitute teacher walked out of the class.
"Well guys, its time to seperate. Benjamin, we'll be seeing you later. If you ever need our help..." The Jolta duo spoke in unison as they started meddling with his watch for a short while.

"Hey, what are-"
[i]"Uncatalogged DNA detected... Scan Complete."[/i]
"Knew this watch could do that..." the duo spoke. "You just unlocked Geminix DNA. No time to explain... test it out until lessons start..." With that, The Jolta duo hopped off to Magic Class.

"I guess I should... test run time! When there's trouble, make it double!" With that, Ben slammed down his watch as a hologram of not one, but two humanoid beings appeared on his watch. He slammed it down.

Transformation began. Firstly, he divided into two, which didn't look as disgusting from a skeletal transformation sequence view. One half started to grow female features and green hair, the other... grew male features and snow-white hair...

"Double Trouble! This feels... different... I can see myself!" Ben's new forme, or formes, ran out of the class. They were basically older-looking pallet-swaps of the original DNA, dashing out of class...

OoC: Jolta Priest is [i]technically[/i] an alien to the Ultimatrix, since they're not human and do not originate from Earth...

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

"Ah well, if it isn't our most trusted ally, Albedo! The, *coughcough* only one I can truly trust here. Yukari and Alex... gah, seemingly untrustable, although they'll make good allies..."
Flotsam and Jetsam spoke in unison as they hovered down in front of Albedo. "I can tell this is beyond a copy of Ben 10's watch. Test run? Test on us if you must... we'll take it easy since its just a test."

The fiendish duo readied attacks for battle.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Magic class? Now this is where Sora knew he could show off. Since the Keyblade had magical qualities within it, he'd be able to show them how the Keyblade wielder did things. "Excuse me guys, getting to the next class!" Sora said smiling as he walked off. He then entered the classroom and then saw the duo and sat in a desk next to them. "Hey you two." Sora said, trying to make conversation, before the teacher arrived into the room.

[Jolta]

OoC: Its extremely sad I ALWAYS leave at this time.

"Oh, you! You're Sora! Hi there, [i]we're[/i] Jolta Priest, [i]two[/i] people under [i]one[/i] name..." the duo spoke in unison. "Uncanny, but true. I see you're here for Arcane lessons as well..."
"She's the Magic Freak, I'm all melee, manipulating minor magic through melee mashing... And I can alliterate amazing, as I just realised..." Yellow spoke.
The duo sat at a spot. Pink started to blush like she always did.

AAAASSS UUUSSSSUUAAAL.

"Think in synch, highly radioactive, shocking and aerodynamic. That's about all the other stuff we can do. What can you do?" Yellow inquired.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

"Me?" Sora asked. He smiled and said,"Well, I said before I'm the wielder of a great weapon known as the Keyblade. In my universe, its the greatest weapon that only chooses its wielder by the heart." Sora smiled and said,"Anyway...I can switch out the key chains of the Keyblade to change its appearance and its power and strength. On top of that it has the abilities to use magic. I was going to show off in Combat Class, but I guess I can show off in Magic Class just as well." Sora knew there were other qualities he had that he could tell them, but he didn't want to...not yet anyway.

OoC: XD Yeah

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier heard the bell Ring and said "Oh god, Great timing!" She looked at her schedule as she wheeled herself out to the back of the school to do her recess, just waiting for something, Anticipating that sense again. She did not care if she got any sort of help when it came to Neurois, it was just that she felt that it was her fight rather than theirs, She glared out into the horizon, her Wolf ears and tail appearing again as her eyes had changed, she saw nothing at first, until she had sensed something telltale, and saw 3 Neuroi Ships flying towards the Academy, but she had a feeling something bad was coming as well, So with that, She stayed....

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Alexander heard the bell ring as well, and he sighed. "Well, looks like I'll just have to look for her later..."
He raced to his next class, the Emerald Grimoire enhancing the power of his stride.
"Let's see...Magic? Heh...I shouldn't have much trouble there...After all, I had the highest Ars Magus aptitude back at the NOL Academy..."
As he finally ran into class, he skidded to a halt, utilizing the power of his Grimoire to create a mass of seithr to break his momentum. He didn't feel like he needed to converse with anyone at this point, so he sat at the back of the class, simply observing his classmates.
There was a spiky-haired boy talking to a pair of twins. He noticed that there was something about them...They could use Magic, but not like he could. They seemed more attuned to sorcery and literal spell-weaving, while Alexander was more accustomed to utilizing Ars Magus.
There was also another pair of twins, ones that were similar to the others, but not quite the same...As though that wasn't the person(s) true form(s).
At this point, he stopped really caring and just began to twiddle his thumbs, thinking about Makoto.

♫~♪~♫

Makoto dropped from her perch and walked into the class nearest to her location. She wasn't sure she was supposed to be there, but then again, she didn't know where ELSE she was supposed to go, either. It was apparently the "Magic" class.
"Huh. Like Ars Magus, maybe?" Makoto muttered to herself. There, she noticed a spiky-headed boy and a pair of twins. One of which was a boy with bright blonde hair.
"Ah! You're so cute and short!"
She rushed forward and attempted to tackle the boy and give him a hug at the same time. Makoto was known for her love of small boys...*cough cough*

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier chirped again as she got up from her wheelchair, which opened up to reveal her Striker again, She jumped into the striker as it, like before, glowed red as she slid in, Her wolf features immediately showed as she had done so, She then said "That's 2 attacks in a period of 30 minutes, That's very strange... Zeimaier... Taking Off!" The striker started making a loud noise that would completely inconvenience all classrooms if they were teaching, The Hexagrams on the jets pulsated, allowing for her to take off almost immediately, creating a Sonic boom in the process...

In just a few seconds, due to the speed of her strikers, She reached and engaged the Neuroi, that split into a horde of Neuroi jets fighters, The cubes followed, Turning into stranger looking fighters that orbitted around Zeimaier, She shouted "Epsilons 1 through 6... Daggar formation!" to which the 6 split into 2 groups of 3....

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

[i][color="#4B0082"][font="Palatino Linotype"]"Let's not be hasty."[/font][/color][/i]

Yukari had to admit that she wasn't used to being so blatantly ignored. She tended to attract a great deal of attention and respect in her usual locations, for one reason or another. But she wasn't so foolish as to let it affect her behaviour. It was to be expected that her comrades not know the full extent of her power. That was, after all, the impression she was building.

[i][color="#4B0082"][font="Palatino Linotype"]"You were sent to recover information, were you not? It would be good to hear that information."[/font][/color][/i]

***

It was most unlike Youmu Konpaku to sit out of a battle. If there was anything she couldn't make clear, she tried cutting it. If it were Gensokyo, Youmu would have simply charged at the problem and sliced it to bits, possibly damaging its clothing a bit if she was really good.

But for a few reasons, she'd decided to stay on the ground and simply observe this battle. For one thing, she wasn't sure what the problem was. The second the attackers showed up, the school descended into a pitiful state of chaos. Everyone was launching powerful magic at everyone else; Youmu simply didn't have an opponent, or know who her opponent was supposed to be.

The second reason was that she usually had Yuyuko-sama to do the thinking for her. For this assignment, though, Youmu's mistress had made a point of staying at her enormous home in Hakugyokurou. (Even thinking about how unkempt the garden must be in her absence made Youmu shudder.) Thus, when a fight had broken out, Youmu had thought to herself, [i]what would Yuyuko-sama do?[/i] The answer: nothing. She'd probably float around acting silly while secretly observing her future allies and enemies. Youmu had done just that, minus the acting silly. (One step at a time.)

Youmu's last reason was, why bother fighting when the teachers can do it? Youmu had, amazingly, spotted Eirin Yagokoro, Sage of the Moon and mastermind of the Imperishable Night incident, among the teachers at this school. Youmu was no great planner, but even she could tell that Yuyuko-sama's friend Yukari probably sent her here to keep an eye on Eirin. (Which, in itself, probably indicated that Yuyuko-sama and her mysterious friend probably had something else altogether in mind. Those two utterly eluded Youmu.)

Her session of observation had borne fruit.
She'd watched someone wield ink with magic and infuse it with life -- and someone else, a boy that reminded Youmu far too much of Yukari-sama to ignore, disintegrate that life (she hadn't forgotten Yukari-sama's brutal lessons in watching temperaments gather and dissipate).
She'd watched a girl get up off the strange wheeled chair she always seemed to sit on to fly through the sky and tear Eldritch monsters apart. Her weapon of choice was a concentrated danmaku barrage not dissimilar to those of Reisen Udongein Inaba, Eirin's pet rabbit (the one that always seemed nervous and flustered).
She'd watched Eirin Yagokoro herself appear in person to take away the ink-wielding girl after she fell unconscious. The Sage of the Moon had exchanged a few words with a woman who apparently had power over a seven-metre green dragon before carrying the girl away. Youmu had pondered following the woman, but she decided against it. Eirin was far too sharp to tail, and besides, she could always explore and find the infirmary where Eirin would indubitably stay later.

For now, she had to find the magic class. This would be a lesson to remember: what were her classmates' magic styles? How could she best counter them? Bolster them? And how would they translate to danmaku? It was brain work Youmu wasn't used to, and she wouldn't be very good, but if she was to stand as a single party, she supposed it would be essential information. In other words, she'd wind up doing more observing at this juncture. Oh, well.

She rested her hand on Roukanken's hilt for a moment. [i]Don't worry. I'll let you out soon enough.[/i]

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier Blazed through the sky as she fired her gatling Gun at the Neuroi, Trying to bust them up to find the core, but as she did, The Neuroi jets she fired at quickly regenerated and fired back with large amounts of lasers, to which she dodged quickly and effectively, Raising her shield for ones she knew she couldn't dodge, Some of the jets that Zeimaier controled fired at the Neuroi, but even after busting them up, they just kept on regenerating, then she had an idea, She raised her shield and shot at the Enemy Neuroi as fast as she could, Completely mowing down any that came into contact with her shield, but subsequently regenerated, It was until her fighters chased a Neuroi that shot away from where Zeimaier was, and with that, She shot towards it at high speed, but The Neuroi that she gave Pursuit to was as fast as she was, The Magic Class could hear 2 subsequent sonic booms after a short amount of time as both the Neuroi and Zeimaier took off at high speed...

[Jolta]

"Gr-ggg-" Yellow was suffocating big time, his nose bleeding. [i]"My, my, I've never got a hug that tight, not even from dad,"[/i] he thought...
"Here's something random I don't see every day..." Pink muttered under her breath as she sighed. "I'm presuming this has never happened to you, has it, Sora? Gah, Mr. Alucard should be here by now..."

Just then, two sonicbooms were heard.
"You heard that? God, trouble again... Don't understand how there can be [i]trouble[/i] in the [i]Utopia[/i] biome."

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

"Science Class? Whaaat?" Ben was utterly disappointed. He had recently returned back to human forme, from his very dissapointing two-entitied form who don't seem to get along. "Well, this can't be half bad, can it? The teacher for this class is... Ms Yagokoro... mmm... oddly familiar... where did I hear that name?"

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Sora thought for a moment and said,"Well not that I can remember..." He sat in his chair and relaxed a little, waiting for the teacher, Alucard to show up. Then he heard the two sonic booms, same as Jolta Priest duo. He looked around and said,"Dunno...but I know for sure, that isn't by a Heartless' doing." Sora thought to himself, to find out who would make these sonic booms, but unfortunately no one came to mind.

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

Well, this was an interesting diagnosis.

After getting the girl -- Nikki NLN, according to the school database -- laid up, Eirin's first order of business was to check for wounds, physical and metaphysical, and imperfections in the ink absorption process. If magical backlash was going to hit the girl, the time would be during reabsorption. In another, more sophisticated multiverse with which Yukari was passingly acquainted, a mage famed for inventing a spell requiring absorption was also famed for high magical backlash rates and severe overexertion. But the girl's ink seemed to be in limited supply. Absorption was the only option for lifetime magic use. Wasn't it?

Not quite.

Turns out the girl drew the ink from an extradimensional "reservoir." Eirin couldn't find out much more without the academy's equipment, which could analyze foreign universes, and a Lunarian tracker or two in the girl's ink during reabsorption (she made a note to herself to conduct that experiment sometime). The ink itself was physical; the use of magic was limited to summoning and manipulating the ink. In other words, since the ink wasn't part of the girl, it wasn't really absorbed, just sent back to the "reservoir." Hence, no magical backlash.

There was one other problem Eirin would have to investigate. The girl's magical capacities were far bigger than they had to be in order to manipulate ink. The girl's fatigue was caused by channeling the magic poorly; if she learned a proper magic system in class, she could almost certainly overcome that problem. But her magical capacities had barely been scratched. What was the point of that excess magic? Nikki evidently had an ability that Eirin had yet to see, and a monstrously powerful one at that.

Beyond a bruise on the forehead and severe fatigue, the girl was fine, but if she tried to get up or use magic now, she could be in danger. Aaaand there was the bell. Tch. Her time ran short.

Eirin scribbled a note on a nearby sheet of paper, first in Japanese and then in English: [i]Off to teach. Don't leave the room or use magic. I'll be back shortly. ~Yagokoro[/i]

Then she darted off to start her first class, which really wasn't adequately prepared, but oh, well.

[Hydra of Ages]

Joshua set his bag onto his desk, still thinking deeply. Already, this trip had exceeded his expectations; the multiverse truly was more interesting than he had given credit before.

His natural inclination, of course, was to set up a Game. That was the practiced and true method of filtering out the potential from any group, no matter how diverse; when set into an environment where the choices were to either draw power from their own Creativity or be eliminated, the greatest shined and those with lesser souls were utterly annihilated. He had no technical jurisdiction over this area, but then again, it seemed nobody did. Would the Angels notice if he took things into his own hands, he wondered?

Of course, that brought him to the second problem- everyone here was still alive. He could take the same route he did with Neku, but somehow he thought there may be complications in slaughtering an entire school full of dimensional ambassadors.

He sighed. A pity such a thing was just a pipe dream at the moment. He brushed the hair from his face, sat down in a desk closer to the front and waited for the rest of the Science Class to arrive.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Zeimaier Then shot at the Neuroi faster, Raising a shield to collide with the Neuroi, which she out-sped the Neuroi and crashed herself into it, Breaking the core inside, which then destroyed every drone near the academy. She sighed in relief, those Neuroi are not going to bother anyone anytime soon.

She flew back to the academy, but ended up absorbing more core fragments, This time however, a ring of black cloud-like material orbited her, along with 1 more image. The image was of the Neuroi around her shooting at the hive core where she was in, then she had a flashback...

<~ Zeimaier woke up from a Coma, but as if she had almost endless energy, She jumped out of bed, giggling and laughing as she was able to do things she felt she couldn't do for a long time, a Nurse came in and smiled, saying "Well, Well, You did seem to take your new artificial heart as if it was your own", Both the Nurse and Zeimaier smiled, but she said "I want to see if I can do any sort of magic" But the Nurse laughed and said "No No, Zekou, you need your rest..."

Later that day, Zeimaier got out of bed and went out via broom to a special location, but as she got there, her Broom became black in color as if it was trying to wilt, but it wasn't, she was perplexed about this and went to her friend, who was an inspiring doctor and asked "What happened!?" and showed him the broom, now completely black in color, The doctor looked at her in shock and went into a Cannon, saying "Lets test out your Shields Zekou, I wonder how they're doing..." to which Zeimaier Nodded. ~>

She looked at her watch and noted that her recess was over and went to the Magic Classroom...

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Makoto was enjoying herself. She new the kid enjoyed her hugging him, and he was SOOOOO cute.
"Aww...You're so precious...You remind me so much of Carl...But cuter!" *SQUEEZE*
She rubbed the side of her head on his hair, babbling on about how cute he was. She opened her eyes at one point to see an old friend in the back of the class.
"Alexander...? Is that you?"

♪~♫~♪

Alexander stared, mouth agape, at his old beastkin friend. She was coming damn near close to crushing that boy.
He got up and began to walk over to the group. "Geez...Makoto, you...You never do change, do you?" And for the first time since he attended the NOL military academy, he laughed.
