"Okay, thank you." Marc said. He then walked along the hallway, keeping on the boys side. He looked inside the rooms that weren't taken. He eventually found a dark room that was black and had one window. He took that one, starting to unpack and place things. Nice place. he thought. After he had settled in, he layed down on then bed and stared at the ceiling. He would have taken a nap, but the noise from the other students told him that it wasn't gonna happen. He just continued staring at the ceiling.

When Matteo walked into the gym, Devlin and Khaldun were having a push up race. The gym looks like a first-class gym, new stuff in the whole room. Devlin looked and saw the young man walk in. "Who are you looking for?" he asked in an Eastern Europe accent.

"Okay, thank you." Marc said. He then walked along the hallway, keeping on the boys side. He looked inside the rooms that weren't taken.

He just continued staring at the ceiling.

“Your welcome.” said the Count then he turned back to Acco.

"Oops sorry, guess I'll go my room. Listen, I'm a bit tired, do you think I could pack it in until classes tomorrow?"

"I'm looking for a Mr. Devlin Saint Clair" replied Matteo

He then turned around and saw Acco following him. "What is it?"

"err yeah, you allow smoking in here right?" Acco asked timidly

Migoshi went upstairs and immediately vanished into his room, while Akalna stayed and spoke with the other students.

"Oops sorry, guess I'll go my room. Listen, I'm a bit tired, do you think I could pack it in until classes tomorrow?"

“Really, you should have listened.” said the Count. Looking into the room, he said “I think you would have saw that you are on the girl’s side. There is poster of a half naked man on that wall. This is Selene’s room.” Then he took a small pause, he added “If you don’t want her to kick your ass, you would pack up and move to the boy’s side right now.” Then he walked off back to Acco. In the back of his mind, he could see Xavier get his butt kick by Selene.

"I'm looking for a Mr. Devlin Saint Clair" replied Matteo

“That’s me.” said Devlin getting up. He was black pants and red shirt. “What do you need?”

"err yeah, you allow smoking in here right?" Acco asked timidly

"Well Acco, I don't smoke inside the school." said the Count. "Outside is where I smoke when I'm here."

with that Acco put his rolly away and walked up to one of the empty Boys rooms

"I was wondering if you whould like to spar with me?" Matteo asked

"You want to spar with me?" said Devlin then looked over at Khaldun and grinned. "He wants to spar with me, bro." "Hell, you're the sword teacher." said Khaldun with an Egyptian accent. "Oh, yeah. I Am." said Devlin. Taking his sword (http://www.dragonscavern.com/shop/files/fantasy_swords/d_386.jpg) off one of the workbenches. "Follow me,.....? Wait what is your name?"

"The names Matteo. Thanks for saying yes, I havn't had a good workout in a while" Matteo replied
OOC: how do you put a link?

"The names Matteo. Thanks for saying yes, I havn't had a good workout in a while" Matteo replied

"All right Matteo, follow me. And a workout you will get." said Devlin the he outside in the hall. He walking into the room with Dueling Room above the door. It looked like a normal dueling room with wooden swords, staff, and other weapons on the wall. "We can go blade to blade or use one of the wooden swords. It is up to you because I'm good with anything."

OOC: how do you put a link?

OOC: Just post the link then add {url=} in front and {/url} in the back. But use these thing [ and ].

"Blade to blade." Matteo said as he drew his sword http://www.dragonscavern.com/shop/files/samurai_swords/d_59.jpg) and went into a balanced warriors stance.

"Okay, blade to blade." said Devlin then he unsheathed his sword. He spun in his right hand a couple of times and held the sword to the ground. He walked maybe five feet backwards, so he was ten feet away from Matteo. He putted both hands on the handle and said "Attack!"

Matteo attack with a fluid motion and speed

Devlin blocked Matteo’s first attack with one move. He moves his sword up to stop Matteo’s blade. “To slow.” he said as his blade hit Matteo’s blade. Devlin was walking forward, making the young boy move backward.

Matteo takes up the attack again launching a blur of blows with his blade

The twins began exploring the campus, starting at the top and working their way down.

Xavier dropped his stuff off in a good room in the boys wing, then proceeded to explore. He came upon a gym to find Matteo and Calvin having a sworfight. He walked over to Khaldun.

"Um, are you Mr..."

Matteo notices Xavier walk in and stops his attack. "Care to join us ?" Matteo asked him.

"Actually, I've been trying to learn some unarmed combat. Mind if I put on some music?"

Xavier put a CD in the boom box, putting on an infectious beat.


http://www.savefile.com/files/3046453


"Let's dance."

Xavier began to move with the rythym, as he tied back his long, brown hair, moved his feet in odd shuffles, began to warm up.

"Ever heard of Capoeria?"

In his room, Migoshi hastily unpacked his few possessions then went to sleep.

Akalna explored the mansion and grounds, eventually stumbling across Keira and Vio.

"Oh, hi," she said. "Found anything interesting?"

"Actually, I've been trying to learn some unarmed combat. Mind if I put on some music?"

Xavier put a CD in the boom box, putting on an infectious beat.


http://www.savefile.com/files/3046453


"Let's dance."

Xavier began to move with the rythym, as he tied back his long, brown hair, moved his feet in odd shuffles, began to warm up.

"Ever heard of Capoeria?"


"Fine lets spar hand to hand" Matteo said sheathing his sword and falling into a balanced squat.
OOC: I'm going to be away from a computer for most of the week. I might be able to come on every now and then but don't count on it

Xavier dropped his stuff off in a good room in the boy’s wing, then preceded to explore. He came upon a gym to find Matteo and Calvin having a swordfight. He walked over to Khaldun.

"Um, are you Mr..."

OOC: Its Devlin and Matteo in the dueling room not the gym. Khaldun is in the gym. So, I'm not going to answer that post IC.

"Actually, I've been trying to learn some unarmed combat. Mind if I put on some music?"

Xavier put a CD in the boom box, putting on an infectious beat.


http://www.savefile.com/files/3046453


"Let's dance."

Xavier began to move with the rhythm, as he tied back his long, brown hair, moved his feet in odd shuffles, and began to warm up.

"Ever heard of Capoeria?"

Devlin saw the new kid walk in and saw that Matteo stopped his attack. "Yeah, I heard about it. The art of dance fighting. It looks good but..." Devlin and his brother Calvin were both in the Mysterious Academy of Dragons, one of the martial arts schools in the Dominion, together. The fighting looks like Muay Thai Boxing & Taekwondo as one fighting style. He then sheathed his sword.

"Oh, hi Akalna. We found the library, but no much else interesting." Vio replied with a grin.

"And hey, remember I'm new to this, okay?"

Xavier began circling slowly, changing his level and his stance to the beat.

"Not a huge reader, myself," Akalna said, looking around for anything of interest. "I wonder what else there is here. This place is huge."

Akalna pulled out her map of the school and peered at it.

"Duelling room sounds interesting," she said, eventually. "You two want to come with me while I have a look?"

"Sure." Keira replied, as they walked Vio asked, "So what are your abilites, if you don't mind me asking?"

Akalna smiled. "Well, I can levitate a bit - not much, but still occasionally comes in handy. And I can regenerate small wounds, although nothing major there either. My main power is these."

Four bone claws sprang from her knuckles on each hand, each about six inches in length. She tapped them thoughtfully against a wall.

"Pretty tough, these, too. I've never broken one, anyway. What about your powers? I saw the sort of telepathy thing in the limo."

"Me, I can levitate, turn invisible, am a telekinetic, and from what I've seen, have a vastly cnhanced intellect." Keira replied, demonstrating the levitation, invisiblity and TK as she mentioned them.
"I can regenerate, how much I'm not yet sure, can also levitate, climb walls and am far stronger and faster, with greater endurance and stamina than others." Vio replied while smiling at Akalna.

"Wow, that's impressive. You two are twins, right?" she said, as they turned around a corner and found the door towards the Duelling room. "Here we are, anyway. I was never any good at fighting with anything other than the claws and my hands." Akalna noticed Vio's smile and returned it as she pushed the door open.

"Ya we are twins. Neither of us are that great at fighting, primarily because we never got into any." Keira replied. Vio partially blushed at Akalna return smile.

"Always the best thing to do," said Akalna. She looked at Matteo, Xavier and Devlin as they prepared to fight.

"Mind if we join in?" she asked. She wandered over to the wall and examined the weapons critcally, finally dismissing them and striding confidently back towards Keira and Vio.

"What shall we try first?" she said quietly, so as not to disturb the others, smiling slightly at Vio again.

Xavier saw Keira, Vio and Akalna walk in. He got out of his stance and went over to greet them.

"Hey guys, I was just about to practice some Capoeria. Ever tried?"

"Capoeria? What's that?" Keira asked

“The art of dance fighting.” said Devlin “Never like it.” That music was getting him a little mad, he started pacing the room.

"Ah, never been one for fighting." Vio replied

"I have a feeling I'm gonna need it one of these days."

Xavier turned and bowed to Devlin, then assumed his ever-changing stance.

"Let's dance."

Acco could hear music and so he decided to follow it, the music took him down into the duelling room where there were a few of the students already, he tried not to attract any attention and so walked quietly in

Akalna watched with interest as Xavier and Matteo began to fight; she had heard of Capoeria but had never seen it in action before.

"Don't think I'd be able to do that," she muttered to Keira and Vio as Xavier attempted a spectacular move, and just about pulled it off.

In his room, Migoshi stirred and stood. He quickly dressed annd wandered out into the corridor, then began walking aimlessly through the mansion, looking for something that might interest him.

Three months have passed; students and teacher grew closer then the first couple of days. The other students were getting to know each other better. They did anything they want during their free time. Now, the Count has called everybody to the Training Arena, students and teachers a like. As everybody walked in to the room and saw that a football field was put in last night. American football. The Count was standing in the middle of the soccer field. The Darkholme twins were wearing those tight black shorts and white baby tees. Selene had almost the same thing but she had on red shorts and a black baby tee.

“Welcome to the football field.” said the Count “We are about to have us a game of Powerball.” The teachers took seat in the stands, as the students were watching the Count. “Powerball is like it sounds. Use your powers to win.”

“Each team with have five students.” said the Count “Migoshi, Matteo, Xavier, Lilli and Elizabeth on one team. Keira, Selene, Akalna, Acco and Marc on the other team.”

He then looked at Vio and said “You will be the all-star quarterback. Playing on both teams.”

“Y’all will be playing to win a trip to Castle Von Wolf for a huge dinner. Plus, it will show us teachers how good you can use your powers.”

"How will I be playing on both teams, and what are the rules of the game?" Vio asked as he and Keira began stretching.

ooc: if it's american football/one with the pigskin, then how come it's power soccer?

"This is American football, right?" Akalna muttered to Keira, panicking slightly. "I have no idea how to play!"

During the last three months, Migoshi had remained mostly silent, only speaking when absolutely necessary. At the moment, he stood with his hands in his pockets and his hood up, watching the proceedings carefully.

"i know how to play Rugby, is it like that?" Acco asked he too didn't know how to play American football.

"I have no idea what the rules are either, neither does Vio, that's why he asked the count." Keira replied "You should stretch, it will help in the game." She said as she continued to stretch out.

"How will I be playing on both teams, and what are the rules of the game?" Vio asked as he and Keira began stretching.

ooc: if it's American football/one with the pigskin, then how come it's power soccer?

"You will act as the quarterback for both teams." said the Count "Meaning that when one team score a touchdown, you jump over to the other side."

"The rules are same as the rules in American football." added the Count.

OOC: I wrote the wrong word.

"This is American football, right?" Akalna muttered to Keira, panicking slightly. "I have no idea how to play!"

During the last three months, Migoshi had remained mostly silent, only speaking when absolutely necessary. At the moment, he stood with his hands in his pockets and his hood up, watching the proceedings carefully.

"Hang on. Edward, tell the rules of playing American football" said the Count. "Yes, father." said Edward walking on the field with a football in his hands. Then he starts telling the rules because he loves watching American football.

(OOC: i seriously don't know the rules for American football, Wiki was no help, so help me out here)

OOC:

Two teams on a 100 yard field, with 10 yard increments. Teams switch between offence and defence. Offence attempts to get into the defence's endzone. Quarterback throws the ball, or he can handoff or run it. You can only taclke somone if they are in possession of the ball. Full-contact. when a touchdown (score) occurs, the team who scored gets to attempt to kick the ball through the uprights to score an additional point. They then return to their side of the field, and kick it to the team who got scored on, so that the team that used to be on defencive is now on offence. Get it?

IC:


Xavier streched on the grass. "Hey Matteo, hold this leg!" As Matteo did, so, Xavier streched the other leg as far as he could in the other direction, until he has suffiently streched it. "Thanks."

The Count watched every students get ready, he said "Edward, ball." Edward throw the ball behind him and headed back into the stands. The ball landed in the palm of the Count, the ball was on it's end.

"Which team get to ten points will win. Each touchdown counts a two points. No teleporting, too." said the Count walking over to Vio.

"Team one (Migoshi, Matteo, Xavier, Lilli and Elizabeth) have the ball first." he said as he handed the ball to Vio. "Game on." Then he took his seat with his family to watch one hell of a football game.

Devlin and Edward would act as the refs.

"HUDDLE!

Okay guys, as soon as one of us has the ball, we form a screen in front. When we charge, i want you guys to scream as loud as you can. This way, I can make a light strong enough to blind their whole team.

BREAK!"

Vio took the ball and passed it to Matteo.

Marc counted 5 mississippi's and charged Vio, but was to late to block the pass and then ran toward Matteo.

Migoshi sprinted down the right of the field, watching the play as carefully as possible. He saw Marc charge towards Matteo and ran to intercept him, resisting the urge to teleport.

The twins, Elizabeth and Lilli, were still on the line as the other ran for the ball. Their eyes closed and opened to show this fog like stuff around them. Above the playing field, raining clouds were forming. A few seconds later, it was raining inside the training arena.

Xavier booked it so that he could provide cover for Matteo.

"NOW GUYS! DO IT!"

OOC: Sorry I was out of contact with a computer for the last 5 days but I'm back now.
IC: Matteo saw thw incoming threat and used his growing knowledge of his powers to start flying to the goal post

Migoshi stopped running and screeched at the top of his lungs, just as Matteo began to fly.

Akalna, however, had other plans. She began to hover a metre or so above the ground, and as Matteo flew past she dived towards him.

Matteo saw her coming and created a forcefield to keep her away

Vio worked on keeping people away from Matteo.

Meanwhile Keira, ghosted herself(invisible) and began sneaking up on Matteo. Once nearby she used her TK, to lift him up and propel him in the opposite direction he wanted to go.

Akalna saw the forcefield appear around Matteo, but could not stop her dive. She smashed against the forcefield, and fell heavily to the ground, her face screwed up in pain.

Matteo land at the goal post then went to see if Akalna was all right

The rain was getting worse, when Selene got an idea. Use her power to create a water jet and shot it at Matteo. She did as fast as she could to add water molecules to other atoms in the air. When it was down, she 'fired' it attack him. Holding her hands out at him, this ball of water formed in front of her. She sent it a fly through the path she made. It would go right thought the force field because it would follow the path of atoms with extra water molecules added to them right into the force field. That small ball would knock him out of the air.

Matteo took the hit and land feet away from Akalna. fortunaly he already had made the goal

Vio sped and got into the path of the water ball.

Keira TK'ed Matteo and threw him back as he tried to go forward again.

"You scored?" said Akalna, struggling to her feet and scowling light-heartedly. "Ah, crap!"

Edward and Devlin looked at each other and said at same time "Touchdown by Matteo."

"Yeah. your team is feeling a little bitter about it. I got hit three times flying over here." Matteo said grining, "By the way are you ok I know my forcefield are very strong"

The Count had a blast watching the first play of the game then it dawned on him that one of them could be hurt. He stood up and yelled “Everybody all right?”

"I'm fine," she said. As she spoke, a small cut on her face sealed itself over with fresh skin. "Three times? Well, we'll get you next time!"

At that, she wandered off to rejoin her team mates.

"I guess I'm on this team now." Vio said as he walked over to the other team. Keira decloaked, "So what's the plan?" She asked

"Good." said the Count "I hope the next play with be good one, too."

"I guess I'm on this team now." Vio said as he walked over to the other team. Keira decloaked, "So what's the plan?" She asked

"Yes, you on this side right now." said Selene. "What plan? The others had no plan and they scored on us." She looked over at Vio, "Just thro the ball to one of us that is wide open."

" A little sore but fine" Matteo replied

"Alright, thought they did have a plan." Vio replied.

"Xavier I have a idea. if one of get the ball can you make a fake one for all of us to confuse them?" Matteo asked

"Alright, thought they did have a plan." Vio replied.

"Yeah, they did." said Selene. "Try and blind us. I know this because Xavier yelled 'Now guys' or something like that."

“Well, I have a plan. Because of my two younger sisters, the ground is getting wet. So, hand the ball to one of us. I will keep everybody off of that person.” said Selene “There will be a wall of water around that person.”

"Sounds good to me," said Akalna, impatiently looking around. Her eyes rested on Vio for a second then moved on. "When does the game start again?"

Migoshi grinned evilly at Matteo's idea but didn't speak.

Matteo used his telpathy and heard Selenes plan. "Hey Migohsi how much fire can you generate? There going to true and use a shield of water on the runner" Matteo then told them

"Then let's get this round started." Vio said, as he covered his nose and sneezed.

"You want me to try and stop water...with fire?" said Migoshi, confusion flickering across his features. "I can do plenty of fire, but I'm sure they can do plenty of water too."

"Not if there is no water in the area for them to work with, Twins can you turn up the heat and back the field dry of any water?" Matteo replied

The twins looked over at Matteo, "She does not need water to make water. If would be a waste of time, to do It." they both said. "So, it would not matter."

Edward lined them up for the next play and throws Vio the ball. "Get it going." he said.

"Alright." Vio replied as he caught the ball and passed it to Marc.

Selene formed the water wall around Marc. Now, she had to focus to keep it up. If anybody tries to get to Marc, they would be knocked backwards.

Above in the rain clouds, it looked like it was about be thunder storm. A big one.

Matteo launched a small Psionic bolt at Selene to break her contration

Selene dodge the blot by a few inches and centered on to Matteo. She dropped the water wall, to make them think she lose her contraction. Then a lot of water was going around Matteo's feet before he could do anything, a water fist shot up at him. This fist was going to hurt him.

Then she centered back on Marc and formed the water wall.

Lightning started to form in the clouds above.

Matteo took the hit to his jaw and went down hard as Marc ran past him

Devlin just started laughing after Matteo got hit in the jaw, "I thought knew how to duck." Edward looked over at Devlin and added “When the ground attacked.”

Matteo got to his feet with blood streaming down his face and put a force field around Marc to keep him from moving in any direction.

OOC: is this still live?

OOC: It is now.

IC:

Migoshi stopped and ran towards Matteo as he got up.

"Are you OK?" he said. "That looked painful..."

Akalna also came to check if Matteo was alright, slightly worried the ground would punch her too.

"Yeah I'm fine" Matteo replied "A little embarssed though with all the training Master Devlin gave me on top of my own experience I am one the top 2 or 3 swordsmen in this nation and I got decked by a piece of water"

OOC:
Sry guys i was away for a bit.

IC:
"HUDDLE!"

"Okay, this is gonna be tough, but it just might work. When they go for the pass, I'll flash the receiver at the last minute. Maybe a nice little beam with the power of a laser-pointer will teach him to be a little less cocky. When he's about to catch the ball, scream, and i'll make sure he won't see for an hour.

BREAK!"

OOC: we are not up to that yet it's still in play

OOC: Yugoamerica, what the hell are you doing?

IC: Selene saw that Matteo have put a force field around Marc. Her water wall will do nothing to get through the force field. She dropped her control of it and all around Marc it looked like a waterfall. Then she looked for Matteo.

Found you. she said to herself. She started added more water in front of her. Then she let it fly, it formed a four foot tall wave heading straight at Matteo and Migoshi.

Matteo saw the wave coming and droped the shield around marc in order to raise a shield around himself and Migoshi.

Vio jogged beside Marc, serving as a buffer between him and the opposing team.

Keira ghosted and moved down the field, seeking an opening to strike.

"Oh, hell," muttered Migoshi as the wave crashed towards them. "A teleport would be handy now..."

At that moment, the forcefield appeared around him. The wave splashed against the forcefield harmlessly.

"Marc's still got the ball!" Migoshi muttered, and then, because he couldn't think of anything else to do, he concentrated on the ground a few feet from Marc. A split second later, a long line of flame exploded into life around Marc and burned furiously, despite the dampness of the ground.

"That won't last long," he said.

Lightning hit the other end zone, as Selene start to take the flames out. "Go Marc. Run." she yelled.

Migoshi concentrated more; his unnatural flames should be able to withstand a lot of water, but he had to concentrate hard to keep renewing them. He thickened the line and extended it all the way around Marc, staring fiercely at the fires.

Akalna just managed to avoid being hit by the lightning when it struck; it instead hit the goalposts, the massive electric bolt immediately going down to earth.

Keira used her TK to begin tickling Migoshi.

Migoshi Yin had withstood almost intolerable amounts of pain. He had been tortured, both physically and psychologically, by rival drug barons and not a single word had come from his lips, until he managed to make an escape. He was covered in scars from ten years of living in the ganglands of Kzuu Mai.

He could not withstand tickling.

Migoshi's concentration immediately snapped and the flames were swiftly extinguished. He swore loudly, then sprinted across the field (pitch?) towards Marc.

As the flames dead down, Selene started to form a couple of water balls. With a radius of 1 meter, the water balls are going to take somebody down. Targeting at Migoshi, she let them fly.

Migoshi noticed the two balls of water flying improbably through the air towards him. He had dodged more deadly things in his life, thanks in no small part to his speedy reactions and reflexes, and he managed to avoid being hit by either, although he had to run away from Marc to achieve it.

Feeling that Migoshi deserved everything that was coming to him, Akalna got between Marc and Migoshi in an attempt to prevent him getting towards Marc again.

OOC: Sry guys i keep losing track. Plz tell me where we are now.

Matteo decided to risk sending out a barrage of psionic bolts to knonck the members of the other team off thier feet including Marc

Keira let loose a TK blast of her own, aimed at Matteo.

Vio got hit by the blasts directed at Marc, and while they rocked him back, he managed to block all the bolts and remain standing.

Matteo block the TK blast with a minor forcefield then returned with a light barrage

Selene saw that Marc was running slowly and form a wave for him to ride. After the wave was formed, Marc was going faster. Lightning continued to hit the ground as the rain got colder and colder.

Keira, using her Tk, invisibility and levitation, managed to avoid, or counter the blasts while she launched a few return blasts, as well as launching a tickle attack on Matteo.

Matteo countered the blasts by sending out a barrage that could not be dodged while ignoring the tickle attack

OOC: where is everyone?

Keira ripped up a section of sod and used it as a shield. She then tossed the sod lump at Matteo.

Matteo saw the lump but instead of using his powers he drew his sword and sliced the lump to harmless pieces

OOC: I don't know. Don't post anymore OOC on this thread. Use the OOC thread.

IC: Marc was moving down the field on the wave then for some weird reason, the waved die downed. The Count and his family looked towards Selene, as she felled to the ground. She fell because lightning hit her before she could get out of the way.

"EDWARD! DEVLIN!" yelled the Count as he stood up "STOP THE TWINS BEFORE WE ARE ALL HURT."

Edward dived toward Elizabeth and Devlin dived toward Lilli. After the girls were knocked down, the storm died down. The Count and Khaldun were running over to Selene. “Khaldun, pick her up and followed Me.” said the Count. Khaldun did what his father wanted him to do and followed after him. Katherine was already at the state of art ER in the Training Arena. The three adults headed inside after the door was open.

Keira smiled a wicked smile as she used the peices to form essentially a funnel around Matteo, whirling lumps of sod and large amounts of dust around him, the dust getting into any availible orifice, hair, clothing and eyes, while the lumps began battering him. She stopped the attack as soon as she saw Selene fall and hurried after the others, Vio following.

as soon as the sod stop attacking him he saw Selene being rush inside and followed to see if there was anything he could do to help

Edward, Devlin, and Calvin got in front of the students. "No." said Edward "Selene will be all right." The ER door shut. "Plus, that room is not big enough for all of us in there at one time." said Devlin.

"Alright." Vio replied, "Could you tell us as soon as she is ready to recieve visitors?"

"Yeah also if their is anything you need from us let me know right away" Matteo said

"Alright." Vio replied, "Could you tell us as soon as she is ready to recieve visitors?"

"Will do but that could be in a couple of minutes." said Edward. "Matteo, I will do that but in that room, nobody will need extra help. It is packed full with everything you would need."

A few minutes later, the Count and Khaldun walked out of the ER. "She is all right. Her mother will stay by her side during the night." said the Count "She did say that if y'all wanted to continue playing the football game, y'all could."

"No" Matteo said to the Count "I'm going to wait here until she recovers"

"It wouldn't feel right for us to play when a friend and teammate was injured." Keira said, and Vio nodded his agreement.

"No" Matteo said to the Count "I'm going to wait here until she recovers"

“Y’all don’t know vampires to well, do y’all?” said Calvin. “Us vamps will get over that type stuff in one night.”

“So, your best bet to go to the school and get some rest yourself.” said the Count “Plus, all of y’all did awesome with your control over your powers.”

Matteo turned to the other students and said "I'm going to walk the grounds. If any of you wish to accompany me I wish to tell a story of my past"

To the Count
"Thank you for the compliment." Vio replied

To Matteo
"Sure." Keira replied

"Your welcome, Vio." said the Count, who then turn and headed outside. Most of the Royal Family headed into the underground tunnels leading to the school. The sun is out, so they can't walk outside. Edward, Elizabeth, Lilli, and their mother were the ones staying back.

OOC: Sry i've been real busy lately

IC:
"Sry guys, i was in the washroom, and...what happened?"

He was explained the situation.

"Oh...well, tell us when she's okay, k?"

Xaveir walked over to Matteo.

"Sure, I wanna hear a story."

Migoshi had remained silent throughout the incident. When he heard Selene would be OK, he had nodded and smiled but not spoken. A short while later, he turned to Matteo.

"I'd like to hear your story," he said quietly.

Akalna decided to go with the others to hear Matteo's story, and nodded eagerly as Migoshi spoke.

Matteo walked through the grounds until he reached a nice sized tree and sat down. He turn to the others and started "What I am about to tell you nobody living or undead knows, not even Master Devlin. Before I start i need you promise you will never tell anyone else without asking me first. Agreed?"

"Alright." Vio and Keira replied

when they responded Matteo drew a dagger and passed it around. "You must cut yourselves and swear a bloodbond that you won't tell. It is a custom of my people." Matteo told them

"And that would involve what?" Keira asked, while Vio ruefully smiled, "Couldn't do it, common cuts heal to fast."

"Just make a cut large enough to bleed and let the blood drip on the ground while swearing the oath. This symbolisis you would die before breaking the oath." Matteo told them

"As for me that is quite literally impossible." Vio replied as he took the dagger and calmly sliced a long(about a foot long) path in his arm, and the skin closed as soon as the blade had passed throught. Once he'd finished his demonstration, he held out the knife which was clean.

"No offence intended, but what's culturally important to you and your people, could mean precisely bat-shit to other people. Would it not be better to have each person give an oath they hold to the highest regard?" Keira asked

"True. Swear by the oath you hold most to heart" Matteo replied to Keira

Both Keira and Vio traced an complex patterns on thier chests, and then first Vio and then Keira leaned in and gave Matteo a kiss on the forehead. As they both stood back, Vio said "And done. You have our oaths."

ooc: He now has the second most binding oath possible, the most binding can't be given to a foreigner.

"alright. The reason that I'm about to tell you this is both the fact that we've know each other for three months and what happened to the Selene. It showed tht anything can happen to us at any time and I felt somebody had to know. But this must stay secret to protect both my life and the lives of many others." Matteo started " The first day we came I told you my last name was Rahl but I didn't use it. The reason is that Rahl is a tital not a name, it is complicated but I will try to explain. My parents were great warriors and my mother was a psonic of great power. However shortly after I was born they were murdered by powerful killers. They took me and when I was old enough to talk they started training me how to kill. They trained me in many methods. My first kill was at the age of 6. After that I had to kill and kill, but the more I killed the more I hated it. My masters however where even more powerful then me so I had no choice. They crisened me Rahl which means 'Master Killer'. about two years ago my powers devolped and I slayed my masters and escaped. After that I was sick of killing the pure for the curropt so I then started killing the curropt for the pure, I took only enough money to mantian a megar exstience and I kept it up for a good two years. I took the name Matteo after a wise and skilled Counseler to the south. Then I saw the ad for this school and came here."

"So you are/were an assassin? Why is that so secret?" Vio asked

"If it is known I was the assassin known as Rahl many of the good people that hired me afterword to get justice for there loved ones would be thought evil and killed by others of good intentions.Also some of the people i killed were kings both good and evil. Plus that was just the barebones story, if you are unclear about any details ask me" Matteo replied

"Alright." Vio replied

"Thats not all. There are many who would kill me for many reasons. The people who know me as Rahl would kill me for either revenge or to prove they are the best. Those who know me as Gwenavear will kill me to protect themselves and all who follows evil's path from justice. These people would do anything to hurt me, including killing any who associate with me. There are some who would destroy an entire city with just the chance I would die. That is why my presence here must stay secret.If they found out they will attempt to kill all of your and maybe even the city which I cant allow. I have few friends but shortly before I came here my friends were slautghered to get to me." Matteo said, He then pulled up his sleve revealing a line of neat, orderly scars. He picks up the dagger and forms a large cut on his arm."I swear until every drop of blood leaves my body that no innocent will die because of my actions ever again" Matteo said while letting the blood drip. He then took a bandage from his pocket and started to wrap his arm.

In ER room in the Training Arena:

Edward looked up from the book he was reading and saw something that worried him. A metal cup that was hovering behind Selene’s head. “Father, are you doing that?” Katherine looked up at Edward and said “What are you talking about.”

“The cup.” said Edward. “It is hovering like Father is doing it.”

Katherine looked over at the cup, “I see what you are talking about. Give your Father down here, now.”

“Will do.” said Edward, dialing the Count’s cell-phone number using the ER‘s telephone.

Unknown to them, Selene was going through secondary mutation because of what happened to her. The Count would know it when he got there.

Back at the mansion:

The Count was practicing with his Samurai sword, when his cell-phone started ringing. He answered it then hopped into his black Ford GT. Starting it up; he floored it to the Training Arena. If anybody were outside, they would know something was up.

"Hey, where's the Count off to?" asked Akalna, as the black car drove away. "You're an assassin, Matteo? Were you paid?"

Migoshi had listened with silent interest to Matteo's story. It had astonished him, although he didn't show it. "I guess no one wants to hear my story, do they?" he said. "Not as interesting as Matteo's, I'm afraid."

"I would be interested in hearing your story." Vio replied

Migoshi shrugged. "OK," he said, pulling down his hood. "I was born 17 years ago, like you know. A child of the Revolution, I guess you could call me. Anyway, my parents disappeared a few weeks after my birth - they were organising something against the Government, and one night they just vanished. I think the soldiers overlooked me, or I'd probably be at the bottom of a river now.

"There was this orphanage in a place nearby. When some people came to my house, which had been completely destroyed by the troops who took my parents, they found me and dumped me at the orphanage. Not really an orphanage, it was just a couple who looked after kids. It wasn't approved by the Government or anything, although nothing was. I stayed there for seven years, until I had the most terrifying experience of my life.

"I was playing in a field a mile or so from the orphanage, although it was evening and I was just coming back to get some food. The orphanage was on fire. There had been about twenty kids and four adults - the couple and their kids, who were older than us - who lived in this place, and it was set on fire, with everyone except me and the two others I had been playing with inside. There was nothing I could do - I had to hide from the soldiers, who were doing a quick raid on villages near the capital to flush out suspected terrorist cells. So they killed virtually everyone in the village, even the kids.

"I lived on the streets of Mai Jun from then onwards. The sheer hardship of trying to live in post-Revolution Kzuu Mai without money or shelter killed the two survivors of the fire within a couple of years. I spent the first three years of my life on the street living off change people had dropped and buying food from the supermarkets, although I began stealing food relatively early on. Anyway. I had to move around a lot - I used to live in these abandoned warehouses, which were often demolished by the Government or otherwise taken over by crack dealers. I moved about once a month. If I was caught in one of the warehouses, I'd be killed; I'd seen it happen.

"Eventually, I fell in with the Mai Jun gangs. I had to, in order to survive. There was a state of almost constant warfare between the gangs and the police, and I stole from gun shops and jewellery stores, mostly. They paid me - they presumably smuggled the jewellery out of the country and sold it on, but I don't really care. I was nearly killed by rivals or the police several times, but there was nothing else I could do.

"When I was thirteen, Kzuu Mai was liberated. Since, I have been receiving money from the Government. But I still steal for the gangs; I'd be killed if I didn't. When I get back from this school, they'll most likely hunt me down for leaving them. And that's it. I told you it was boring."

"It wasn't boring." Keira replied

"no it wasn't" Matteo said "It looks like we both lived hard lives and survived also you don't have to return to your nation. and to answer you question Akalna when I was Rahl My masters were paid and they gave me a small percentage for each kill I made."

"Maybe we should see where the count was headed" Matteo suggested

"If he'd wanted us to know, he'd have invited us to come with." Vio replied as he wondered if anyone would ask about thier background.

"Since we are all telling our life stories what about you two " Matteo asked Vio and Keira

"We were orphaned at the age of four and we moved from orphanage to foster home and back again many times till at the age of sixteen we emancipated ourselves and have been living in a low rent appartment, doing both odd jobs to keep afloat." Keira replied, thought the other might have been able to, if they were observant, note that things were being ommited.

"If you don't wish to tell us everything you don't have to" Matteo said

Keira gave him a look, but didn't say anything.

"What suprised I noticed you left something out? I've been an assassin for almost 11 years, you don't live as long as I did by being unobservent." Matteo told her.

"Did I say anything?" Keira asked

"No I saw the look you gave me" Matteo replied

"Since when is a look, a statement?" Vio asked

"if you know how you can tell more from a body movement or look then wih words" Matteo replied

"And you can fake body language." Vio replied

"True but that takes much training to do it right" Matteo Rebuted

"Not really." Vio replied, "Most people can do it, they just are too oblivious to bother or realize how."

"Maybe. I'm heading to the infirmary to check on Selene. Anyone coming?" Matteo asked them as he got up and ready to leave

"Sure, thought I doubt she is better yet." Keira replied as she and Vio stood up.

"Yeah but i have a felling we should get over there and I've learned to trust my fellings" Matteo replied as they headed over

"Then let's go." Vio replied

When the students would arrive at the Training Arena, they would see the Count’s car in one of the ten parking spaces. But the Count’s car was not the only one, a red Lamborghini Countach SS sat in a parking space near the Count’s car. The owner of the car was Blake Lubov or a few people know him as Deacon. Blake is the second sleeper agent of the Count. The students would not know him as Deacon. This would be the first time they would meet him.

The Count has told everybody in the infirmary what was going on. Selene was sitting up and talking to everybody.

Xavier went with Matteo and his group.

"My life story actually is boring. I wasn't orphaned, or anything like that. And no one likes to hear about a comparatively good life."

Matteo walked in and saw Selene was up and awake. "You felling better?" he asked her

OOC: Hope you don't mind trans, but i was thinking that you guys would be interested in a Superhero RP i'm starting up offsite:
Mutant Force (http://s12.invisionfree.com/Mutant_Force/index.php?act=idx)

IC:
"Yeah how are you Selene?"

Vio and Keira noticed the new car, and they both detoured to peak inside throught the windows for any clues to it's owner.

Acco noticed the flash looking vechile parked outside the school, Acco liked flash car's it was like the thing that he would never be able to acheive, he sighed.

Matteo noticed the stranger standing in the infarmary but wanted to make sure Selene was allright first. After he was sure he turn to the stranger and said "Well met. my name is Matteo. Are you a friend of the Count?"

The Count, the Darkholmes, and Blake saw Matteo walked into the infirmary.

"Yes, Matteo. I'm all right." said Selene. Blake looked over at JWolf after Matteo asked if he was a friend of the Count's. Then looked back at Matteo, "The name is Blake Lubov of Lubov Inc. in Western Russia. We more like allies then friends."

All windows were closed so nobody could see in or the sun could not get in.

"Nice to meet you. Is that your car out there? very nice" Matteo replied

Vio took note of the maker and colour while Keira memorised the license plate, before heading in to see Selene.

"Nice to meet you. Is that your car out there? very nice" Matteo replied

“Yes, it is my car. Thanks.” said Blake. "Count, I have to be go."

"See you later." said the Count "I will show you out."

The two men head outside of the infirmary. They would pass by Vio and Keira as they left the Training Arena.

Vio took note of the maker and colour while Keira memorised the license plate, before heading in to see Selene.

Blake's car has Russian license plates.

As they passed the new person, Keira said in Russian "Друг приветствиям моего друга."

ooc: Translates to "greetings friend of my friend"

Matteo turned and saw Vio and Keira enter " Did you see that guy? very interesting, powerful. what did you get from the car?" Matteo said to them

"I wonder what all this is about?" said Akalna, glancing at Keira and Vio. "Did you find out anything?" she asked.

"How do you know he was powerful, Matteo?" said Migoshi quietly from within the depths of his hood.

"The way he moved and carried himself was the way of someone with great power and used to using it" Matteo replied

As they passed the new person, Keira said in Russian "Друг приветствиям моего друга."

ooc: Translates to "greetings friend of my friend"

"То же самое здесь, моя молодая леди." said Blake as both men walked outside.

OOC: Translates to “Same here, my young lady.”

"I wonder what all this is about?" said Akalna, glancing at Keira and Vio.

“Blake is just a friend.” said Katherine “He grew up with Selene.”

“Father call him to tell what was going on at the school.” said Selene “So, he dropped by. Blake is a mutant, too.”

“He has an house in Sibiu.” said Katherine. “Lubov Inc. and the Count’s companies work together alot.”

"That would explian the feeling of power I got from him" Matteo said

Keira inclined her head to the Russian speaker, and headed in to see Selena.

"That would explian the feeling of power I got from him" Matteo said

"Oh! So you can tell that he had mutant power by feel." said Katherine. "I think your nuts, if you tell that somebody is a mutant. JWolf has spent millions to make a machine to find mutants. It does not work right."

"Maybe, Father should put Matteo in the middle of it and turn it on." said Lilli with a evil grin.

" Yeah having a telepath might help him alot with that machine" Matteo replied

"Really, Matteo." said Edward sitting in one of the chairs in ER. "I don't think you want to be in the middle of it when it is turned on. You saw what my little sisters did out there, well it is ten times worse. You would be fried into half of a second."

“That is why is does not work right.” said Katherine. “It will be a long time for that thing starts to work. So, don't listen to Lilli.”

"I wonder if the charge would be enought to overcome my regen?" Vio mused at Edward's comment.

"Probally lets not risk it" Matteo replied

"The charge is from the power generator." said Edward "If the people working on it could find a different way to power it, it would work. They are putting in a small nuclear reactor in now. That will stop the charge."

“But it will take four weeks to rework the power set up.” said the Count, who walked in the room. “After that is in, I can test it.”

" I am willing to help any way I can" Matteo told the count

"I got the best engineers on the job, young Matteo." said the Count. “All you have to do it learn how to control your powers like a master.”

" Yes my lord. I'm going to go medate now to strenting my psioninc powers. I'll need someone to pratice the telepathy on" Matteo said

“Go try it on…” said the Count “Devlin!”

"that won't work I know him to well by now i need to pratice on somebody new so I can use it affectavily on anyone if I need to" Matteo replied

"Then go try it on the chef." said the Count "He is mansion, right now."

"All right" Matteo said as he went to mediate, "On second thought does anyone want to spar I need to work out some stress"

"Do you want to spar hand-to-hand, weapons, or full out?" Vio asked

"Up to you" Matteo replied

"You're the one who needs to work out stress." Vio replied

"Full out but you need to pull your punches a little. unlike you I can't regenarate" Matteo told him as he head to the training area

“If y’all are going to spar, just do it out there.” said the Count “Why go back to the mansion to the dueling room, went there is a huge arena out there.”

"Alright, thought I'll have to pull my punches slightly more than a little bit." Vio replied with a grin.

" No I have armor on so you'll only need to pull a bit" Matteo said as he changed direction and went towards the Field

"If you say so." Vio replied as he followed Matteo to the field.

"Ready to start? oh wait how much damage can you take and still regenarate?" Matteo asked

"Never really tested the outer limits, thought avoiding excess head and primary organ damage would be good." Vio replied

ooc: he can fully re-grow a limb, thought he'd need a ton of food to do so.

"Right I'll try and be careful" Matteo said as he drew his sword, "Lets go."

Vio did a few stretches and cracked his knuckles, as well as doing a bit of basic limbering up. "Let's get this started then, your move."

Matteo starts out fast by flying backwards in the air full speed while launching a full barrage of powerful psionic bolts

Vio dodged each blast and took to the skies after Matteo, while calling, "You'll have to be quicker than that if you want to hit me."

"Damn your fast" Matteo said then he let lose a pattern of bolt that curved to follow Vio

"Yes, yes I am." Vio replied, he had in the space of those words caught up to Matteo and actually running in front of him, the looping blast would have to go throught Matteo to get to him.

Matteo took advantage of Vio proxiamity(sp?) to attack with a series of sword slashes

"So pointy objects time?" Vio asked as he avoided the slashes, thought one sliced throught his shirt. "Are they sentimental or especially valueable?"

"Both" Matteo said as he drew a dagger and attemped to gut Vio with blinding speed

Vio caught Matteo's hand and threw a light kick aimed at Matteo's side.

ooc: aprox 5 tons of force behind the kick.

With his hand grasped the thing he could do was put up a force field and attempt to flex with the blow. At the same time he put a blast of enough force to flip a tank at Vio

Vio was slammed back from the blow, a bruise forming and disappearing in few seconds. "Impressive, won't be caught by that again." Vio said with a chuckle.

" I aim to please" Matteo said with a smile as he slips on a pair of tiger claws and lunged at Vio

ooc: Tiger Claws, what are they?
Also where is he getting the weapons from?

OOC: They are basically a bar with cruved blades coming out from it. when you you hold it the blade comes from between your fingers. Also he carries a small arsinal of weapons on him at all times

Vio smile, caught Matteo by the arms, and threw him to the ground.

ooc: Ah, wolverine claws

Matteo hit the ground hard. He gets to his feet and waits for Vio to attack again

Vio touched down, and sped forward, making sure to avoid hitting mach speeds to body slam Matteo.

Matteo sent out a wave of force strong enough to topple several city blocks right before Vio hit him.

Vio was knocked back and was slammed against one of the goalposts, breaking it off at the base, and sending it flying. "Much more impressive." Vio commented, as be began re-stretching to get of the rapidly dimishing welt on his back.

While Vio was recovering Matteo drew two more daggers and launched them at him using his power to increase them to super sonics speeds

Vio preformed a bad matrix parody, bending to let the blades pass over, thought one sliced a line along his chest that closed almost as it was being inflicted.

"Now I'm impressed. What else do you got?" Matteo said while bracing himself

Vio grinned, picked up the goal post, and with the blunt end pointing forward threw it at Matteo, making sure to get to at decent speeds, nothing that Matteo couldn't avoid if he was quick.

ooc: Basically nearly the top of Matteo's reaction time.

Matteo used a new trick and formed a blade out of psionic energy and split the goal post in half with each side going the opposite side of him.

"Have you worked out your stress or would you like to keep going?" Vio called out.

"Im good that was quite fun. That reminds me I have to head into town later for something" Matteo replied

"Alright, nice match." Vio replied as he headed to the kitchen, he need a snack.

Matteo headed over to the town to pick up some purcahses and delivers he made

Migoshi ran to catch up with Matteo and walked alongside him. "Mind if I come too?" he asked.

Akalna had watched the fight between Matteo and Vio, and, as Vio left, she walked over to him. "That was impressive," she said. "You can regenerate real fast - takes me a couple of minutes."

Unknown to Vio and Matteo, they were being watched by the Count and Edward Both of them loved the fight and want to see more of it.

Right as Matteo was coming outside of the Training Arena. Devlin's car (http://www.customfastbackca.com/i-2_B_L%20copy.jpg) was sitting in one of the parking spaces. He honked the horn.

" Yes Master Devlin ?" Matteo said as he headed towards the car

“You need a ride to town?” he said through the intercom of the car.

"Ya, thought I find I'm always hungry afterward." Vio replied "I'm going to get something to eat from the kitchen, you're welcome to join me."

Meanwhile Keira was playing a game on one of the computers.

"sure. Mogoshi do you want to come along?" Matteo said

"Yeah, great," said Migoshi.

"Think I will, then," replied Akalna. "I'm pretty hungry too, haven't eaten for a bit."

"cool lets go. We won't all fit in Devlin car so I guess we'll walk." Matteo said

Vio continues heading to the kitchen, "So what did you think of the match?" He asked

OOC: who are you talking to?

ooc: Vio is talking to Akalna.

"It was incredible!" said Akalna excitedly. "Although at time I thought one of you might get killed, especially when Matteo started producing all those knives and things from somewhere. Though I guess you had it under control."

---

"Whatever," said Migoshi. "I don't mind walking."

"Did you enjoy the match?" Matteo asked Mighosi as he broke into a run
