The groaning sigh that Keiji Ayakawa released as the morning sun shined through his windows was low and slow. It was the sigh someone would release when they've had a very long eventful night and not nearly enough sleep as a result and his brain still needed time to reboot. He slowly pulled himself up and yawned. He rubbed the back of his neck and stretched out his muscular, toned, athletic, sore and tired body. "Hey, Angelina? Can you play some DMX to wake me up?" 'Yes Sir. Playing DMX* Mixtape.' The virtual assistant AI spoke to him and began playing the music while he threw off the covers and began his morning workouts. *With regards to DMX. RIP. The morning workout was a simple one to get himself ready for the day and just because he was tired from the battles recently was no excuse not to put himself through his daily required exercise! 100 Push Ups! 100 Sit Ups! 100 Squats! 100 Jumping Jacks! 100 Burpees! 100 Lunges! 100 Mountain Climbers! 10 Minutes Of All Out Bagwork! It got his blood pumping and woke him up for the day. Of course it had to be done well before he would normally get ready for school but it was worth it. After all, Keiji knew better than anyone that he had to be ready for anything at anytime! Being the only superhero in the world, so far, as far as he knew, was not an easy life. After a long hot steamy shower scene for the ladies, and to wash off his sweat after turning the pressure, soaps, scents, oil and massaging oils to his usual setting, he dried off on the pressure pad and returned to his room. Keiji got dressed in a red shirt and black jeans complete with a stylish belt, black socks and tennis shoes and a black vest. Next he grabbed his phone and wallet and put them in his pockets. Finally he held out his hand and a wristwatch on his dresser flew off of it and attached to his wrist. "Thank you. Hey, Angelina? Turn off the music and enter Rest Mode." 'Yes Sir. Entering Rest Mode.' He grabbed his backpack and walked down the three flights of his house down to the bottom floor. As usual everyone else was gone already and he was alone in the house. So he heated up two leftover slices of meat lover's pizza along with pouring a glass of strawberry milk and then he sat down to enjoy his quiet breakfast. After breakfast he cleaned up and exited the house through the garage. Closing it up behind himself. He yawned. Keiji sat down on the bench as he waited for the bus. Normally he'd just teleport close by the school or something but today he really just needed to shut his eyes again and the bus ride would be perfect for that. "Damn man, are you okay?" He looked up to see the smiling bespectacled face of Anthony Carrison looking down on him. "Heeeey Anthony. Yeah, I'm fine. I was just working and studying all night. It's fine. I'm good." He assured him while rubbing his spiky red hair. It wasn't...a complete lie, technically, he just didn't tell him what kind of work he was doing. "Well then I have some good news for you." He informed Keiji while sitting down next to him. "The bus is going to be taking a different route today so you'll have plenty of time to catch up on your sleeping." "Huh? A different route?" "You don't know? It's in the E-Mail." "Must've missed it. What happened?" "Champion Red's fight last night messed the road up. Again. We'll be taking a different route until its fixed." (Whoops.) "Again with that guy?" Keiji asked in disbelief. "Criminy. You'd think he'd learn to take the fight out of the city at some point. What's wrong with abandoned wastelands, I ask you?"

"I know, right? Works all the time in Anime. But hey, lucky you right? You get to take a nap." "By that logic you'd be able to do the same you know." "I'd love to but I have my own studying to do man. So just stay awake long enough for the bus to get here and then you can nap." "Sounds good. Studying binges really take it out of me." "I know." Anthony chuckled. Anthony and Keiji had been friends since at least Middle School. He was a funny little guy with wavy brown hair, a smaller figure and the cool glasses, you might mistake him for a nerd but he honestly had way too much personality for that. He was just fun to be around and, while Keiji regretted not being able to tell him his secret, hanging out with his friend always managed to lighten up his day even after a rough fight. Anthony was currently wearing blue jeans with white stripes on the sides, a Wolf Crest T-Shirt, and a turquoise jacket with some stripes on the sides. His kevlar backpack was strapped up on his back. Back in the day Keiji used to question that but considering how weird his own life had become he honestly couldn't blame him for it anymore. If anything it was the sensible thing to do. It might not help against a freaking laser beam but honestly some protection was still better than none right? Yes, yes it was. "Here's my question though and it's the same one I've been questioning since this guy showed up. How in the heck does his super suit work?" "Futuristic alien sci-fi tech?" Keiji guessed. "Probably but I'm just curious about the specifics of it is all and how the heck does the Giant Robot stay upright without collapsing under its own weight?" "I'm spitballing here but maybe it has some kind of internal gravity or density manipulation device to keep it stable." Keiji joked. "Potentially. But then how does that explain the giant robot's fighting skills? Seriously, it move sand fights like a person!" "Oh that one's easy." Keiji laughed. "Obviously he's using a Video Game Controller." They shared a laugh over that and continued joking around and chatting until the bus finally arrived and they climbed right on. Keiji found a nice spot in the back and set his bag down and closed his eyes to take a nap before they arrived at school.

"Oh damn man, what happened to Spikes? He looks out of it. Were you up all night partying? Drinking? TV Binging? TV Binging While Drinking At A Party?" He sat up and looked over his seat to see Leimomi Germana Sorrentino relaxing in her seat and observing them with a smile on her face. The Hawaiian-Italian Kickboxer was dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt with some pink trims similar to her fighting outfit and a distressed pink denim jacket. It did little to hide her well developed muscles. There was a smug look on her face as usual. Her dark hair was tied up in a ponytail. "Good morning, Leimomi." He greeted her. "Morning, Anton." She greeted in return. "So how about my question?" "Well you know him. Studying and Exercise is his life." "I get that but I doubt it would make him this tired." Leimomi reasoned. "I think this is something else. You don't think it's stress do you?" "Stress? You mean like over the monster attacks?" "Exactly. I mean we've got those hooded freaks attacking the city at random and more often than not they're accompanied by one of those freaky monsters and then Red shows up and fights them and the monster turns giant and the robot shows up and everything goes boom. I'm just saying, I wouldn't blame him if he was loosing sleep over it." "Have you been loosing sleep over it?" "Nah. Whenever I'm feeling scared I just hit the bag until I feel better." "Oh that's a good idea. Get the adrenaline pumping. Smart." He complimented her. "I prefer to hit the books myself." "Good idea. Keep them grades up, Anton!"

"I must say though, it takes something, doesn't it? To just go out there every night and fight a small army of aliens? It's definitely brave but crazy at the same time." Leimoni mused. "It's a thin line between crazy and courageous." Anton joked. "Besides, somebody has to do it or those things would've overrun the city by now." "I would suggest a SWAT Team but...yeah we have...we have nothing to do deal with the giant monsters as far as I know." she hugged her arms. "It's scary isn't it? I mean, you watch those Kaiju Movies and it's all boom bang crash bash fun, yeah? It's just such a different story when you're seeing one for real." "Do you...I mean, are you okay?" "Yeah, kinda, sorta. I'll feel better when we get to school." She switched topics and looked over at Keiji. "And how can he sleep so soundly?" "Big bro's always been the sort to just take it easy. He's always telling me, Anton, you just have to take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it. I think he got it from Yann Martel." "Heh, well isn't that a laid back way to look at life?" "Like I said, bro's always been an easy going guy. But pick a fight with him and he'll lay the smackdown." "Now that's something I can relate to." The bus slowed to a stop and more students climbed on. Rising up behind all of them and needing to duck down to avoid hitting her head on the ceiling as she tried to get past the rows of seats was a 6'9, 205.74 cm, tall giantess named Jasmine King. Jasmine was a very tall young lady who towered over the majority of the student body with a beautiful, toned, athletic physique. As usual she was wearing the Dark Gold Volleyball Team Uniform of their Sugar and Spike Team. She had shoulder length green hair, died as a sort of pseudo-punkish minor rebellion and to give herself something cool and distinctive looking besides just her height. Her clothing was usually custom made and ordered because of how big she was. She made her way down the rows of students awkwardly apologizing and waving to them until she reached Leimoni and sat down next to her. Jasmine made sure to sit sideways a bit so she wouldn't have to worry about getting pushed against the seat in front of her. "Uhm...hey. Good Morning everyone." "Morning, Jazzy!" Lei high-fived her. "Good Morning, Jasmine!" Anton greeted her.

"Good Morning, Jasmine!" Anton greeted her. "Morning." The 6'9, 205.74 cm, giantess repeated. "Uhm, what happened to him?" *You heard right. Her official height is 6'9, 205.74 cm, though her shoes make her look a little bit taller, around 6 feet 11.* "Sleepy." "Ahhhh. He should pace himself better. You know the bare minimum of sleep needed to live, not just thrive, is 4 hours per 24-hour period. Seven to 9 hours of sleep are needed for health, renewal, learning, and memory. Disruption of the sleep cycle from shift work creates problems for the quality and quantity of sleep. These disruptions usually contribute to such symptoms as shallow and/or fitful sleep, headaches, difficulty in concentrating, and upset stomach." "Exactly. My man really needs to pace himself out more with whatever he's doing." "You don't know?" "He just said he's been busy. School and exercise and training." "Hmmmm. In that case, we can talk him to later about working together on assignments over SocialShout. Let him sleep for now." She looked over the seat. "So how are you?" "Oh you know me." Anton smirked. "I'm still all about that mad science life and working on those crazy inventions of mine." "Really? What do you have so far?" "A wrist mounted grappling hook, a shield in a watch and a wrist flamethrower." "Cool. Now all you need is a super suit and you can join Red in fighting the monsters." Leimoni joked. "Tempting but I don't know if I'd be any good in the field. I'm more of a behind the scenes kind of guy working in the lab and making all of the cool stuff." "Oh come on don't be like that. You'd be a great superhero. From what I've seen it's that super suit of his that evens the odds anyway." "I appreciate the compliments but I don't have anywhere near his fighting skills. I'm still learning how to fight. Super suit or not I don't see myself fighting a monster. You two would be better candidates." "Thanks but I prefer not to fight if I don't have to." Jasmine responded. "Thankfully, I, you know, rarely have to. Most people aren't too keen on fighting someone my size." Leimoni rubbed her shoulder. "And if they ever try to you can count on me to back you up." "And me...you know, as best I can...with whatever I can bring to the table." "See that? You're already thinking like a hero." "Ha, thanks. Well, maybe one day. Anyway, what about you guys? What's on your agendas?" "The same as usual. I've got practice, Jasmine has her Volleyball Practice, stuff like that." "Cool, cool."

She had shoulder length green hair, died as a sort of pseudo-punkish minor rebellion and to give herself something cool and distinctive looking besides just her height. Her clothing was usually custom made and ordered because of how big she was. She made her way down the rows of students awkwardly apologizing and waving to them until she reached Leimoni and sat down next to her. Jasmine made sure to sit sideways a bit so she wouldn't have to worry about getting pushed against the seat in front of her. "Uhm...hey. Good Morning everyone." "Morning, Jazzy!" Lei high-fived her. "Good Morning, Jasmine!" Anton greeted her. "Morning." The 6'9, 205.74 cm, giantess repeated. "Uhm, what happened to him?" *You heard right. Her official height is 6'9, 205.74 cm, though her shoes make her look a little bit taller, around 6 feet 11.* "Sleepy." "Ahhhh. He should pace himself better. You know the bare minimum of sleep needed to live, not just thrive, is 4 hours per 24-hour period. Seven to 9 hours of sleep are needed for health, renewal, learning, and memory. Disruption of the sleep cycle from shift work creates problems for the quality and quantity of sleep. These disruptions usually contribute to such symptoms as shallow and/or fitful sleep, headaches, difficulty in concentrating, and upset stomach." "Exactly. My man really needs to pace himself out more with whatever he's doing." "You don't know?" "He just said he's been busy. School and exercise and training." "Hmmmm. In that case, we can talk him to later about working together on assignments over SocialShout. Let him sleep for now." She looked over the seat. "So how are you?" "Oh you know me." Anton smirked. "I'm still all about that mad science life and working on those crazy inventions of mine." "Really? What do you have so far?" "A wrist mounted grappling hook, a shield in a watch and a wrist flamethrower." "Cool. Now all you need is a super suit and you can join Red in fighting the monsters." Leimoni joked. "Tempting but I don't know if I'd be any good in the field. I'm more of a behind the scenes kind of guy working in the lab and making all of the cool stuff." "Oh come on don't be like that. You'd be a great superhero. From what I've seen it's that super suit of his that evens the odds anyway." "I appreciate the compliments but I don't have anywhere near his fighting skills. I'm still learning how to fight. Super suit or not I don't see myself fighting a monster. You two would be better candidates." "Thanks but I prefer not to fight if I don't have to." Jasmine responded. "Thankfully, I, you know, rarely have to. Most people aren't too keen on fighting someone my size." Leimoni rubbed her shoulder. "And if they ever try to you can count on me to back you up." "And me...you know, as best I can...with whatever I can bring to the table." "See that? You're already thinking like a hero." "Ha, thanks. Well, maybe one day. Anyway, what about you guys? What's on your agendas?" "The same as usual. I've got practice, Jasmine has her Volleyball Practice, stuff like that." "Cool, cool." Keiji was finally awoken via Anthony gently shaking him awake. "Hmmmm? Huh? Hey man. What's up?" "Good news. We're finally here." "Huh? Oh sweet. Thanks Anthony." He grabbed his bag and stood up to be greeted by the girls. "Oh. Hey. Good morning Leimomi. Good morning Jasmine." "Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you enjoy your sweet dreams about me?" Leimomi teased. "I'm sure a dream about you would be a beautiful one but unfortunately I was dreaming about ninjas. Ninjas VS Xenomorphs. Weirdest dream ever." "Who was winning?" Jasmine asked. "The ninjas. They didn't fight fair and kept setting traps for the Xenos. I've probably been watching too many kung-fu movies. Anyway. Nice to see you girls this morning." He waved and walked out followed by his friends. They exited the bus just in time as Samuel Vidal De Santiago rode up to school and parked his motorcycle. Then he locked it down. Then he chained it. Then he threw a tarp over it that had his name on it. Then he wrapped that down and secured locks around that! Satisfied he took off his helmet and rubbed his gloved hand through his beautiful dark brown hair and his swarthy skin shined in the morning light. He had a beautiful face which provided a funny clash with his black leather jacket with its gold lining and his blue and red t-shirt with its pirate skeleton on it. He had dark jeans with a fancy belt and shoes. He was wearing biker gloves on his hands. "Heeey Sammy! Locking down your bike again?" "Morning, Spikes. You can't blame me can you? There's all kinds of insanity going down in the city these days so I decided to ensure that at least nobody could steal my Comet Cycle. I'm insured against damage and theft of course and I've got GPS tracking in case somebody does manage to swipe it but I like to be prepared as best I can." Samuel was one of the heartthrobs of school not just for his looks but also for his athleticism and intelligence. His attention to detail was nearly on the same level as Athony and his athletic ability used to be a match for Keiji before he underwent certain changes. "That's all you really can do." Keiji admitted. "Still, it's more effort than our esteemed teachers are putting into their own vehicular protection. So A++ for effort man." "Thank you. It's always nice for your hard work to be appreciated." They high-fived and walked into school. "By the way are you feeling alright? You look a little tired." "Nah man I was just up late and it's early. I'm fine. I took a nap on the bus." Samuel couldn't help but laugh at him. "Napped on the bus? How old are you?" "Still a kid at heart." Keiji admitted. The other three were waiting for them inside. "Good morning, Samuel. I hope this morning finds you well." Jasmine greeted him. "I noticed you're using some new ropes for your bike. A modified nylon based rope with palomar knots I assume?" Anthony asked him. "Sup, pretty boys?" Leimomi greeted and stepped in between them with a cheeky smile. Keiji chuckled and ruffled her hair a little. "Greetings your highness. As always your very presence makes any day better." Samuel complimented her. "Good eyes Anthony. It's Double-knit Nylon Polyester to be precise. Everybody's using it these days and it's an honest to goodness genius invention. It's the best of both worlds with their respective flaws ironed out and then improved even further. The best rope for securing my ride. Sup yourself, Lemony?" He greeted everyone. "You're so sweet." "Oh that's brilliant man. I'd love to hear more about your other ideas." "Alright then! Who's ready to tackle another school day? Lets get to our classes, hit the books, smackdown our assignments and try to forget the looming threat of monster attacks." Leimomi cheered her friends on. "Oh and Keiji?" "Yeah?" "Try not to fall asleep in class." "No promises." They laughed and walked the hallways together en route to their morning classes.

"Morning." The 6'9 giantess repeated. "Uhm, what happened to him?" *You heard right.

"Try not to fall asleep in class." "No promises." They laughed and walked the hallways together en route to their morning classes. The girls split off from the group for their own class and Jasmine opened the door first so Leimomi could walk in and then she ducked in after her. The classroom was already filled with students either chattering away or getting prepared for class. One in particular broke out a big smile as they entered. "Lei-Lei! Wonder Girl! Hey guys!" Marianne Aagaard called out to the two as she bounded up to them. Jasmine gave the tiny blonde girl, in reality she was just about average height, a low-five and Leimo hugged her. Marianne has healthy glowing skin with a slender figure and a small face with rosy cheeks and round, dark brown eyes. Her long, honey-blonde hair reaches her waist with two shorter strands framing each side of her face and short bangs covering her forehead. Occasionally, she wears her hair into a thin ponytail. "Hello Mary. I hope this day finds you well." "Oh I'm having an awesome day. Any day when you aren't getting attacked by a monster is a good one but I don't want to jinx it." "I wouldn't worry. The school's been a safe zone for us so far. We just have to be careful and keep an eye out." Leimomi assured her. "I think we'll be alright. Things have been quiet now that Tessa's out of the way." Haruko Lagomarsino chimed in from her seat where she was doodling in her notebook. She was a cute bespectacled young girl with short dark hair and a thin average figure who was well known for her dark humor and brutal honesty. Haruko was the type of person who said exactly what was on her mind. "Can we please not bring that up?" Jasmine asked her then added quietly with a somber tone. " I gave her every chance to walk away." "Hey, hey, it's okay, it's alright. We know." Leimo assured her. "Haru, while I like you, please drop the subject." "Alright. Sorry, Jazz." "It's okay." "So anyway, what are you drawing?" Leimomi asked to change the topic. "A giant robot on tank treads with railguns on its shoulders and boxing gloves for hands. I call it the Tankinator 9000." Haruko replied and showed her the notebook. "Cool. Is it for a comic?" "Nah. Well. Maybe. I just drew the kind of giant robot I would want to drive if I was up there with Champion Red." "It seems rather destructive." Jasmine noted. "So are giant monsters. You can't take half measures with those. If Godzilla is attacking your city, it's all or nothing." "Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't antagonizing Godzilla only make things worse. When has antagonizing Godzilla worked out for anyone?" "You know what does work out for people? Doing your homework." Mary joked. "So?" "Oh I definitely did. Completed and double checked. I'm actually glad I had so much assigned. It's nice to have something to take the edge off." "Oh we can all agree on that." Leimo acknowledged as she took her seat and began taking her books out.

"Oh we can all agree on that." Leimo acknowledged as she took her seat and began taking her books out. Keiji stretched. "Ahhh man I have got to tell you. A simple nap on the bus ride to school can do wonders for recharging your batteries." "Dollar store batteries maybe but they're no match for a good night's sleep." Samuel reminded him. "I know something's wrong man. I won't ask you to explain it in public in the hallway but you really should tell us what it is." "I appreciate your concern Samuel but I'm fine. Really." "It isn't the Shòuxìng again is it?" "No. No trust me they're gone. We ran the Animality Dojo out of town after the Tournament after all." "The 53rd Euphoria City Martial Arts Tournament. Good times." Samuel chuckled. "Can you believe Kaiden really thought that trying to sucker punch me like that would work? He was telegraphing his movements a mile away." "That's because nothing escapes your eyes. You can read people like a book. You're better at it than I am and that's saying something." "Which is why I can tell you're hurting. You're sore. It's obvious from how you're moving." Samuel lowered his voice. "You're hurt. It's obvious. You were in a fight. A bad one. You won obviously which is why you're here but it took a lot out of you." He stopped outside of their class and blocked him from going on. "Come on bro, talk to me. Whatever it is, I can help. You know I can." Keiji sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "I want to but I can't. It's...uhmmm...it's....look. You remember the first rule of fight club, right?" "You don't talk about fight club." "Second rule of fight club?" "You don't talk about fight club. So what have you been fight clubbing?" "Well yes but actually no. I'm sorry man I can't tell you but that's as close as I can tell you." A smile returned to his face as if pieces were now all falling into place. "Alright, alright, I get it. Come on. Lets get to class." He opened the door. "You know, speaking of the Tournament? Your fight with Reynaldo Chang was one for the history books." "Oh yeah that was a good one. He was a great fighter." Keiji responded fondly. "Good times all around." It really was one of the best fights of his life. The Shòuxìng might've been pricks but they were good fighters and Reynaldo was the best of them. A relentless bruiser and brawler who overwhelmed his opponents with furious flurries of attacks mimicking different animals all mixed into one whirlwind martial arts style. It was an even match that really came down to the wire. Hell, if Reynaldo's grappling had been better he might've actually beaten Keiji. Not that it really mattered. The poor guy was doomed no matter what. Even if he had beaten won, and that was a big if already, he wouldn't have done so and come out uninjured, and he still would've had to face Samuel and, perhaps even worse, Jasmine, who, even if she wasn't normally part of the The Champion Zone Dojo, she had signed up with the Dojo to help them deal with the Animality problem, and had proven an invaluable asset in beasting over everyone in the tournament. "What happened to him, anyway?" "I can't speak for the others but Reynaldo at least turned to religion since then. I've seen him around the Victory of the River Restoration Church and he finally got his head on straight. Nice guy." "Oh. Well that's good to know. Maybe I'll go visit him later. See how he's doing." They took their seats. Just as he was getting comfortable a beautiful young woman placed her hand on his desk and leaned in close to look at him. She has fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel. Her clothes consist of cocoa-colored shirts, tight black leather trousers with golden lining around the pockets and ribbons attached to the backs of golden zipper seams around her knees. A black golden studded belt is normally hidden by a large cocoa-colored belt with gun cartridges on the left side and a large golden crosshair buckle. A large piece of black fabric is attached to her belt hanging down on her right side. She wears a pair of dark black, high-heeled leather calf-high boots with golden buckles. Keiji smiled. "Good morning, Cecilia." Cecilia Knight lowered her sunglasses and looked him up and down. She narrowed her eyes and stood back up. "Good morning, Keiji. We need to talk later." "Uh, sure, whenever you like." She put her shades in her shirt pocket and walked around the room to her seat. Alexandra O'donnell had a good laugh at his expense. "Ohhhh man you are in for it today." Alexandra, Cecilia's best friend, is well known for her long wild reddish-orange hair, which gives her something of a rockstar look, which is complimented by her usually cocky smile. She is one of the taller girls, about as tall as some of the boys, though obviously not as tall as Jasmine, with an athletic and busty physique. "Yes, Alexandra, thank you." "Oh man this is going to be so good." She danced away humming to herself as she crossed the classroom and took her seat as they prepared for class. Keiji sighed and put his head down.

"It isn't the Shòuxìng again is it?" "No. No trust me they're gone. We ran the Animality Dojo out of town after the Tournament after all." "The 53rd Euphoria City Martial Arts Tournament. Good times." Samuel chuckled. "Can you believe Kaiden really thought that trying to sucker punch me like that would work? He was telegraphing his movements a mile away." "That's because nothing escapes your eyes. You can read people like a book. You're better at it than I am and that's saying something." "Which is why I can tell you're hurting. You're sore. It's obvious from how you're moving." Samuel lowered his voice. "You're hurt. It's obvious. You were in a fight. A bad one. You won obviously which is why you're here but it took a lot out of you." He stopped outside of their class and blocked him from going on. "Come on bro, talk to me. Whatever it is, I can help. You know I can." Keiji sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "I want to but I can't. It's...uhmmm...it's....look. You remember the first rule of fight club, right?" "You don't talk about fight club." "Second rule of fight club?" "You don't talk about fight club. So what have you been fight clubbing?" "Well yes but actually no. I'm sorry man I can't tell you but that's as close as I can tell you." A smile returned to his face as if pieces were now all falling into place. "Alright, alright, I get it. Come on. Lets get to class." He opened the door. "You know, speaking of the Tournament? Your fight with Reynaldo Chang was one for the history books." "Oh yeah that was a good one. He was a great fighter." Keiji responded fondly. "Good times all around." It really was one of the best fights of his life. The Shòuxìng might've been pricks but they were good fighters and Reynaldo was the best of them. A relentless bruiser and brawler who overwhelmed his opponents with furious flurries of attacks mimicking different animals all mixed into one whirlwind martial arts style. It was an even match that really came down to the wire. Hell, if Reynaldo's grappling had been better he might've actually beaten Keiji. Not that it really mattered. The poor guy was doomed no matter what. Even if he had beaten won, and that was a big if already, he wouldn't have done so and come out uninjured, and he still would've had to face Samuel and, perhaps even worse, Jasmine, who, even if she wasn't normally part of the The Champion Zone Dojo, she had signed up with the Dojo to help them deal with the Animality problem, and had proven an invaluable asset in beasting over everyone in the tournament. "What happened to him, anyway?" "I can't speak for the others but Reynaldo at least turned to religion since then. I've seen him around the Victory of the River Restoration Church and he finally got his head on straight. Nice guy." "Oh. Well that's good to know. Maybe I'll go visit him later. See how he's doing." They took their seats. Just as he was getting comfortable a beautiful young woman placed her hand on his desk and leaned in close to look at him. She has fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel. Her clothes consist of cocoa-colored shirts, tight black leather trousers with golden lining around the pockets and ribbons attached to the backs of golden zipper seams around her knees. A black golden studded belt is normally hidden by a large cocoa-colored belt with gun cartridges on the left side and a large golden crosshair buckle. A large piece of black fabric is attached to her belt hanging down on her right side. She wears a pair of dark black, high-heeled leather calf-high boots with golden buckles. Keiji smiled. "Good morning, Cecilia." Cecilia Knight lowered her sunglasses and looked him up and down. She narrowed her eyes and stood back up. "Good morning, Keiji. We need to talk later." "Uh, sure, whenever you like." She put her shades in her shirt pocket and walked around the room to her seat. Alexandra O'donnell had a good laugh at his expense. "Ohhhh man you are in for it today." Alexandra, Cecilia's best friend, is well known for her long wild reddish-orange hair, which gives her something of a rockstar look, which is complimented by her usually cocky smile. She is one of the taller girls, about as tall as some of the boys, though obviously not as tall as Jasmine, with an athletic and busty physique. "Yes, Alexandra, thank you." "Oh man this is going to be so good." She danced away humming to herself as she crossed the classroom and took her seat as they prepared for class. Keiji sighed and put his head down. Anthony walked into his class and got set up. He unzipped his bag and set up his book and binder and notebook. He was in the middle of unzipping it when another student ran up and began drumming on his desk. "Ant-ony! Just who I was looking for!" Anthony looked up at the wild man in the King Shark T-Shirt with the 18-karat yellow gold Jennifer Meyer Good Luck Charm hanging from a 20" diamond cut gold bead chain. He chuckled. "Nice entrance, Sharkie." Sharkie 'Jaws' Van Kaiser was, as said above, a bit of a wild man. Always energetic and ready to party, he generally just wanted to have a good time and for others to have fun with him. His light blonde hair was gelled up into spikes to reflect his personality. He was well known on the field for being a terror to deal with and running up on and over his competition but he was comparatively chill outside of that so long as you can keep up with his energy levels. A nice guy all around well known for his trust in luck and fortune, hence carrying around his 3k+ Good Luck Charm everywhere. "I hear Miss Vine's going to be handing back our tests today, right? My man it is finally the moment of truth! Time to see if all that tutoring paid off!" "You don't have to worry about a thing, big guy. I know how hard you were studying for the big test. So long as you put in the work and applied it properly you're going to get a high grade. I believe in you." "Thanks man. Fingers crossed right?" He kissed his necklace. "Besides, I have to keep my grades up to stay on the team and Tasia likes guys with brains." "Then she's dating the right guy." Anthony complimented his friend. "By that logic shouldn't she be dating Anthony instead?" Griffin teased his brother as he walked past them. "Bro we barely made it out of that attack last night don't make me deck you now." Sharkie scolded. "Woah woah woah. You two were attacked last night?" Griffin sighed and ran his fingers through his purple mohawk. "Yeah. Well, we weren't targeted per say but we got caught up in it. We could've taken them but-" "We really couldn't have." "But thankfully Big Red showed up and saved everyone." He adjusted his jacket. "I tell you man, I don't know what those monsters' problems are but this is just out of hand now." Griffin Von Kaiser was about as bombastic as his brother and just as much of a party animal, although he was more interested in sports like skateboarding and parkour/freerunning as opposed to Football like his brother. He was dressed in blue jeans, a red jacket and an orange t-shirt with a fiery griffin on it. "No doubt but, hey, I'm glad to see you made it out alright." "Thanks. I'm probably just going to take a nice break in the library during Study Hall though." "Once again, I do not blame you. Kids here do it all the time." Anthony tapped his desk. "Hey, uh, out of curiosity? How many monsters were there anyway?" "Hmmm? Oh that? Well, we didn't see the Boss Monster ourselves, at least not until it turned Giant, but, uh, we counted about a hundred of the henchmen." "A hundred at once?" Anthony asked. "Okay, wow, that's...quite a bit more than usual. Huh. Are they trying to wear Champion Red down or just crush him with overwhelming force or both?"

Keiji stretched. "Ahhh man I have got to tell you. A simple nap on the bus ride to school can do wonders for recharging your batteries."

"Okay, wow, that's...quite a bit more than usual. Huh. Are they trying to wear Champion Red down or just crush him with overwhelming force or both?" "Probably both. That's what I would do if I was a space alien super villain. Just repeatedly throw armies at the superhero until he cracks." Grififn reasoned. "That is a sound strategy. Poor guy. I'm not sure how long he's going to be able to keep doing this." Keiji kept his head down until he heard rapping on his desk and he sat up to see Mr. Albert Chapman staring him down. "Good Morning Mr. Tenorio." Albert Chapman was an older man with graying hair and a fancy blue suit, watch and shoes with his graying white hair slicked back. The type of old man who tried to look younger and more important than he really was. "Good morning Keiji. It's time for class. If you want to slack off and sleep through the hour I suggest Study Hall. When you're in my class? You sit up straight and pay attention. Do not waste my time. Is that understood?" "Yes sir. I don't mean to offend of course but the bell hasn't even-" *BRRRRIIIIIIINNNNGGG!* "Oh there it is." "Falling asleep in class and back talking me, eh?" He sneered. "Alright then. Just for that today's class is getting a surprise test! Rest assured everyone this will be for a grade!" A few of the kids groaned and grumbled but Cecilia's only response was an icy glare at him picking on her boyfriend. Albert just chuckled and snapped his fingers. "Alright then class is in session! You know the drill. Hand in your homework to the desk in front of you and I'll collect them and then the test will begin." The students took their homework pages out and passed them upward until they were all gathered together on the front desk of each row and then they were gathered up and he traded them in piles of tests which were handed back down the rows of desks. "Alright class you know the drill. You've got three pages of Trig problems and one hour to get them done. Be sure to show your work and no cheating. When your work is complete turn the paper over and wait for everyone else to finish before you hand it in. When time's up I will collect your tests and assign your homework." He informed the class. "And you all have Keiji to thank for this fantastic opportunity to improve your grades." Keiji just shrugged it off and got to work on his Trigonometry Test. (Dick.) The test was a real brain buster this time around and Keiji had to really buckle down and focus on the test which was not easy with his douchebag teacher and the exhaustion stemming from all of his fights lately. Even with the short nap he took on the bus and his enhanced abilities he was having trouble even keeping his eyes open. His eyes felt like lead but there was no way in hell he was going to let Professor Douchebag win. Keiji performed a quiet breathing exercise until he was able to focus and get back to work. Slowly agonizing he made his way through the test as class dragged on. Time passed as he worked through his test slowly cautiously and purposefully to make sure he got it all done exactly right. Keiji eventually managed to finish the test and made sure his name was on it before he turned it over. He was done. (I win again, Professor Douchebag, sorry not sorry.)

After the test was concluded and the papers were handed the Professor collected the various papers and rambled off something else until the bell rang. The students collected their belongings and filed out of the classroom and Cecilia quickly caught up with Keiji and opened the door for him. She made sure The Professor's back was turned before made a face at him and followed Keiji and her friends outside. She kicked the door closed and wrapped an arm around Keiji. "Are you okay?" "Hey don't worry about, C.C. You know I'm Invincible. Crazy old men like that don't even phase me." "I know but he was still being a prick. What's his problem with you anyway?" "Well I'm spitballing here but I heard a rumor he was betting heavily on The Animality Dojo to win the 53rd Tournament and lost it all after we kicked their asses." "But why would he take it out on you?" "I'm in his class and I won the tournament." THE FOLLOWING GIF CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS END GIF
Roku O Keisie: Ikari No Dansu. The Heavenly Rhythm's Dance Of Fury." She quoted. "You were so beautiful back there. How can anybody hate you with moves like that?" "Haters gonna hate because you're a reflection of what they wish to be." Keiji summarized. "He isn't a problem. I can just ignore him. Besides there's way more going on in the world than just a sad disgruntled old man. One of the first things I learned in Martial Arts was not to let anyone's ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop me from being the best person I could be." "Words to live by, hon!" Cecilia laughed briefly before turning Keiji to face her and looking up at him. "I am going to need to have a private conversation with you later though. It's important. Promise me you won't miss it." "Sure. Wherever you want, whenever want for however long you wish. Until the end of time if you wish." "I'll hold you to that. Have fun and get through the rest of the day. I'll come find you when the time is right." "It's a date. I'll see you then, Angel." "Back at ya, handsome." They kissed and she turned around and hurried off to class. Keiji sighed happily as he felt his energy levels rise right back up to max! Feeling completely reinvigorated now he stood up straight and hurried towards his next class.

Keiji was finally awoken via Anthony gently shaking him awake. "Hmmmm? Huh? Hey man. What's up?" "Good news. We're finally here." "Huh? Oh sweet. Thanks Anthony." He grabbed his bag and stood up to be greeted by the girls. "Oh. Hey. Good morning Leimomi. Good morning Jasmine." "Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you enjoy your sweet dreams about me?" Leimomi teased. "I'm sure a dream about you would be a beautiful one but unfortunately I was dreaming about ninjas. Ninjas VS Xenomorphs. Weirdest dream ever." "Who was winning?" Jasmine asked. "The ninjas. They didn't fight fair and kept setting traps for the Xenos. I've probably been watching too many kung-fu movies. Anyway. Nice to see you girls this morning." He waved and walked out followed by his friends. They exited the bus just in time as Samuel Vidal De Santiago rode up to school and parked his motorcycle. Then he locked it down. Then he chained it. Then he threw a tarp over it that had his name on it. Then he wrapped that down and secured locks around that! Satisfied he took off his helmet and rubbed his gloved hand through his beautiful dark brown hair and his swarthy skin shined in the morning light. He had a beautiful face which provided a funny clash with his black leather jacket with its gold lining and his blue and red t-shirt with its pirate skeleton on it. He had dark jeans with a fancy belt and shoes. He was wearing biker gloves on his hands. "Heeey Sammy! Locking down your bike again?" "Morning, Spikes. You can't blame me can you? There's all kinds of insanity going down in the city these days so I decided to ensure that at least nobody could steal my Comet Cycle. I'm insured against damage and theft of course and I've got GPS tracking in case somebody does manage to swipe it but I like to be prepared as best I can." Samuel was one of the heartthrobs of school not just for his looks but also for his athleticism and intelligence. His attention to detail was nearly on the same level as Athony and his athletic ability used to be a match for Keiji before he underwent certain changes. "That's all you really can do." Keiji admitted. "Still, it's more effort than our esteemed teachers are putting into their own vehicular protection. So A++ for effort man." "Thank you. It's always nice for your hard work to be appreciated." They high-fived and walked into school. "By the way are you feeling alright? You look a little tired." "Nah man I was just up late and it's early. I'm fine. I took a nap on the bus." Samuel couldn't help but laugh at him. "Napped on the bus? How old are you?" "Still a kid at heart." Keiji admitted. The other three were waiting for them inside. "Good morning, Samuel. I hope this morning finds you well." Jasmine greeted him. "I noticed you're using some new ropes for your bike. A modified nylon based rope with palomar knots I assume?" Anthony asked him. "Sup, pretty boys?" Leimomi greeted and stepped in between them with a cheeky smile. Keiji chuckled and ruffled her hair a little. "Greetings your highness. As always your very presence makes any day better." Samuel complimented her. "Good eyes Anthony. It's Double-knit Nylon Polyester to be precise. Everybody's using it these days and it's an honest to goodness genius invention. It's the best of both worlds with their respective flaws ironed out and then improved even further. The best rope for securing my ride. Sup yourself, Lemony?" He greeted everyone. "You're so sweet." "Oh that's brilliant man. I'd love to hear more about your other ideas." "Alright then! Who's ready to tackle another school day? Lets get to our classes, hit the books, smackdown our assignments and try to forget the looming threat of monster attacks." Leimomi cheered her friends on. "Oh and Keiji?" "Yeah?" "Try not to fall asleep in class." "No promises." They laughed and walked the hallways together en route to their morning classes. The girls split off from the group for their own class and Jasmine opened the door first so Leimomi could walk in and then she ducked in after her. The classroom was already filled with students either chattering away or getting prepared for class. One in particular broke out a big smile as they entered. "Lei-Lei! Wonder Girl! Hey guys!" Marianne Aagaard called out to the two as she bounded up to them. Jasmine gave the tiny blonde girl, in reality she was just about average height, a low-five and Leimo hugged her. Marianne has healthy glowing skin with a slender figure and a small face with rosy cheeks and round, dark brown eyes. Her long, honey-blonde hair reaches her waist with two shorter strands framing each side of her face and short bangs covering her forehead. Occasionally, she wears her hair into a thin ponytail. "Hello Mary. I hope this day finds you well." "Oh I'm having an awesome day. Any day when you aren't getting attacked by a monster is a good one but I don't want to jinx it." "I wouldn't worry. The school's been a safe zone for us so far. We just have to be careful and keep an eye out." Leimomi assured her. "I think we'll be alright. Things have been quiet now that Tessa's out of the way." Haruko Lagomarsino chimed in from her seat where she was doodling in her notebook. She was a cute bespectacled young girl with short dark hair and a thin average figure who was well known for her dark humor and brutal honesty. Haruko was the type of person who said exactly what was on her mind. "Can we please not bring that up?" Jasmine asked her then added quietly with a somber tone. " I gave her every chance to walk away." "Hey, hey, it's okay, it's alright. We know." Leimo assured her. "Haru, while I like you, please drop the subject." "Alright. Sorry, Jazz." "It's okay." "So anyway, what are you drawing?" Leimomi asked to change the topic. "A giant robot on tank treads with railguns on its shoulders and boxing gloves for hands. I call it the Tankinator 9000." Haruko replied and showed her the notebook. "Cool. Is it for a comic?" "Nah. Well. Maybe. I just drew the kind of giant robot I would want to drive if I was up there with Champion Red." "It seems rather destructive." Jasmine noted. "So are giant monsters. You can't take half measures with those. If Godzilla is attacking your city, it's all or nothing." "Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't antagonizing Godzilla only make things worse. When has antagonizing Godzilla worked out for anyone?" "You know what does work out for people? Doing your homework." Mary joked. "So?" "Oh I definitely did. Completed and double checked. I'm actually glad I had so much assigned. It's nice to have something to take the edge off." "Oh we can all agree on that." Leimo acknowledged as she took her seat and began taking her books out. The girls class thankfully was more pleasant than Keiji's. Professor Adelyn Culliver sauntered into the room in her bright pink pantsuit outfit with her tightly wound blonde ponytail bobbing while the Professor whistled to herself as she got set up for class and then turned back around to face them all. "Hello class! I'm glad you're all here safe and sound! Is everybody having a good day?" "WHOOO!" The class replied. "Ha! That's awesome. That's awesome! I'm always happy to see you kids here. If you would please send up your homework to the front desk then we'll be able to get started." The class did as they were asked and passed their homework up to the front desk of each row and then they were collected by their Professor. "Alright thank you class." She collected their papers, set them aside and took out their worksheets from the previous day and handed each set to its proper row and the students took them and passed them down. Jasmine was elated to see that she'd gotten an A+ on hers as did Leimo. Jasmine and her only had to exchange glances and nod to confirm it. Smiling they returned their attention to the front of the class. Jasmine had taken a seat in the back as she did with most of her classes so she didn't block anyone's view of the board and Leimo sat close by. "Okay class! You're doing great so far but I have a few quick questions just to make sure you're all awake! Jasmine! Name where Aristotle was born, the time period, the ideas he invented, his first philosophy and the idea he developed through it!" "Yes ma'am! Stagira in Northern Greece in B.C. 384, where he invented the idea of separate sciences and his first philosophy was known as Metaphysics, in which he develops the doctrine that he refers to sometimes as Wisdom, sometimes as First Philosophy, and sometimes as Theology. He also developed the idea of First Cause, in which he suggests that nature is caused and that these causes in nature exist in a chain, stretching backward. The cause of the cat you see today, for example, was its parent cats, and the cause of those parents were the grandparent cats, and so on. The same for the oak tree you see; it was caused by an acorn from a previous oak tree, which in turn was caused by an acorn tree from a previous oak tree, and so on, stretching back to whenever. The central question about such causal chains, raised by Aristotle and others, is whether they must have a starting point. Aristotle, and others following him, claim that the answer is yes, i.e., that there must be a First Cause because such causal chains cannot be infinite in length." Professor Culliver laughed and applauded. "Excellent work, Jasmine! Excellent work! I'm so happy you kids pay so much attention in class! Gold star for the day! Leimomi! Describe the unmoved and prime movers!" "Easy." She smirked. "The unmoved mover, ὃ οὐ κινούμενον κινεῖ, 'that which moves without being moved' or prime mover primum movens, is a concept advanced by Aristotle as a primary or first uncaused cause or "mover" of all the motion in the universe. As is implicit in the name, the unmoved mover moves other things, but is not itself moved by any prior action. In Book 12 of his Metaphysics, Aristotle describes the unmoved mover as being perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation: self-contemplation. He equates this concept also with the active intellect. This Aristotelian concept had its roots in cosmological speculations of the earliest Greek pre-Socratic philosophers and became highly influential and widely drawn upon in medieval philosophy and theology." "Correct, correct correct! You kids are great! Just great! I'm proud of you all! Yes! The concept of an “un-moved mover” has been discussed at least since the time of early Greek philosophers. Aristotle is most famously credited with establishing this idea, though he may not have been the very first to frame the concept this way. This line of reasoning and Aristotle’s argument in favor of it were later used in the context of Christian theology by Thomas Aquinas, who pointed to God as the Un-Moved Mover. This was part of Aquinas’ cosmological argument, one of his five ways. However, there are crucial differences between the way Aristotle viewed his un-moved mover and the way later theologians such as Aquinas used it as a reference to the God of the Bible." "Aristotle was a student of Plato, who taught that the ultimate reality was composed of ideal Forms, and that one primary “good” entity—the Demiurge—had created reality. Aristotle took a less personal and more abstract approach. He developed the idea of an un-moved mover from an earlier concept of un-moved movers (plural). Aristotle’s writings follow a chain of logic and observation to the idea that, in order for there to be “motion,” there had to be something to cause it: a “mover.” For Aristotle, however, this idea was applied individually to the various spheres of the heavens, which astronomers either numbered at 47 or 55. To Aristotle, these were not personal, relatable beings. They were pure intellectuality. You see?" "Yes ma'am!" "Great! Lets have some more fun here! Haruko! What are Aristotle's two kinds of virtue?" She looked back from the window, blinked, looked at the teacher and smiled. "Aristotle distinguishes between two kinds of virtue: moral virtue and intellectual virtue Aristotle says that moral virtues are not innate, but that they are acquired by developing the habit of exercising them. An individual becomes truthful by acting truthfully, or becomes unselfish by acting unselfishly. Aristotle notes that it may be difficult for an individual to become virtuous if he or she has not acquired the habit of acting virtuously. For example, it may be difficult for an individual to become tactful, if he or she has not acquired the habit of acting tactfully. It may also be difficult for an individual to become unselfish, if he or she has acquired the habit of acting selfishly." "Correct! You see, Class, A morally virtuous action requires an individual to be able to choose how to respond to his or her own thoughts and feelings. Thus, the concept of moral responsibility implies that an individual has some freedom to choose his or her own actions. Moral responsibility for an action may be partly determined by whether the action is voluntary or involuntary. An individual may not be morally responsible for having performed an action, if the individual was forced to perform the action against his or her own will. An individual may also not be morally responsible for having performed an action, if the individual has no control over the action. Moral responsibility may be partly determined by whether an individual, prior to performing an action, was aware of the possible consequences of the action. Moral responsibility may also be partly determined by whether an individual, prior to performing an action, should have known the possible consequences of the action. Moral responsibility may also be partly determined by whether an action is impulsive or deliberate. Impulsive actions may be voluntary but may not be as purposeful and planned as deliberate actions. An individual may have a responsibility to control his or her impulses, but the individual who acts impulsively may not be as aware of the possible consequences of his or her actions as the individual who acts deliberately. Just as an individual may be responsible for his or her actions in a situation, an individual may be responsible for his or her inaction in a situation. A lack of action by an individual in a situation may imply his or her responsibility for not having acted in that situation. An action by an individual in a given situation may be judged according to the way in which the individual could have acted in that situation. According to Aristotle, the moral virtues include: courage, temperance, self-discipline, moderation, modesty, humility, generosity, friendliness, truthfulness, honesty, justice. The moral vices include: cowardice, self-indulgence, recklessness, wastefulness, greed, vanity, untruthfulness, dishonesty, injustice. Acts of virtue bring honor to an individual, acts of vice bring dishonor to an individual." She paused to breathe before continuing. "Justice as a moral virtue includes lawfulness (universal justice) and fairness (particular justice). Injustice as a moral vice includes unlawfulness and unfairness. Fairness requires that the privileges and responsibilities of persons in a given situation be distributed proportionally and equally (distributive justice). Fairness also requires that an unfair inequality or disproportion in the privileges and responsibilities of persons in a given situation be rectified (rectificatory justice). Rectificatory justice may restore equality, or may reallocate privileges and responsibilities to persons in a given situation, or may prescribe some form of penalty for persons who have been unjust, or may award some form of compensation to those persons who have been treated unfairly." She continued to go around the classroom asking various 'Warm Up Questions' and explaining the answers in detail to her class before finally getting down to business for her real lecture.

She continued to go around the classroom asking various 'Warm Up Questions' and explaining the answers in detail to her class before finally getting down to business for her real lecture. After she finished lecture and the kids copied down their homework assignment they packed up and walked out of class to go to their next one. While they were doing so however, one student in particular stayed back a bit to talk to Haruko. "E-excuse me, Haruko?" "Sup?" "Uhhh, for those of us not in the know, uhm, what happened to this Tessa girl?" Haruko looked at him in surprise. "You don't know?" "I, uh, no, sorry." She looked to see if Jasmine had left and then back to the student. "Your name's Noah right?" "That's right." "Alright, listen, we aren't really supposed to talk about it. So you didn't hear this from me." She quieted down a bit. "Tessa Blackenship was a member of the Animals Gang. She continued to cause problems with them even after the majority of the gang were dispersed. One such instance involved attacking a friend of Jazzy's named Lucas Wilkinson. It was a cowardly gang attack. Luckily for Lucas, and I do mean that the kid always did have The Devil's Luck, Jazz was in the area and showed up to save him. The way I hear it, she went all Batman on them." "Wow...so, uh, what happened to Tessa?" Haruko slung her backpack over her shoulder. "She's in Arkham Asylum. Lucas had to transfer schools though. The whole thing is a real sore sport for everyone though so try not to mention it." She advised him and walked away. "Oh jeez. Okay. Noted." He followed after her and they exited the classroom. It wasn't hard to see Jasmine towering over the crowd and discussing class with her friends. "She seems so nice though." "Oh she is. Everyone here's really nice but they've also got that whole True Companions Bully Hunter Team Spirit thing going on. Don't pick a fight with them, don't be a bully, and be kind to everyone and you'll be just fine. Really, the monster attacks are what you actually have to look out for. If you see them just run." "So do you think we should get Keiji a Get Well Soon Card?" Jasmine asked Leimomi. "Sure thing. I know he'd appreciate it and we can use that to start a conversation to figure out what happened to him." "Yeah I've been wondering...do you think we should stage an intervention?" "We'd have to know what's wrong with him first right? I think a sit down and talk would be better." "Right. We just need to let him know that he's not alone and that all of his friends are here for him." "So something really did happen to him, huh? Ça craint." A haughty high class voice spoke up next to them. The two girls finally paused in their own conversation to see the well dressed high class French-American Long Pigtailed Séverine Lemaire now walking next to them. "Hi Séverine." Jasmine greeted cheerfuly. "Where'd you come from?" Leimo asked her. "I descended from Heaven to grace this lowly mortal plane with my presence." "Are you sure it was Heaven and not Mars?" Leimo joked. "Mars is for the Martians. I am divine." She replied with a hair flip. "But lets get back on topic. What's wrong with your friend?" "We don't know. He's just so exhausted lately. We know something's wrong but we just don't know exactly what."
