Emergency Assembly

[Winters]

So Then, What Will You Do?

An emergency assembly? This had never happened for as long as Jonathan could recall, for his Freshmen career. Dropping the baseball bat, he looked around himself, at the three fighters. Received a few bad knocks, a few bruises here... but generally, in the green, for what it was worth. You don't understand, though. This had... NEVER happened before. Something was up. No need to hold back pretenses of possibility. There WAS something up. Thrush stirred uneasily in Jonathan's subconscious... 'Not now, you dolt'. Quietly brushing himself off, he made his way, as there was lot of students now pouring through. The drums beating in his heart.. Aye. Aye. Aye, something was up. But whether it was good or wrong was.. well, to be seen. And into the darkness of the assembly room.

Took a bit for his eyes to adjust... but then, there were a lot of people. Took a seat around no one he knew, simply because he couldn't spot anyone, at this point. The whole of all the people talking at once made him antsy. But, finally, as it began to settle down. There was Mr. Asiv, directly behind the podium, but a bit a ways behind it... and then there were... four other people behind the supervisor himself. Black caps, white 'X's on the bills, and generic black shirts and jeans, as well as the ever suspicious looking.. black shades. It gave them a... well, simply put, a 'shady feel'. Hell, even their faces were somewhat hidden in the shade of their hat's bills. ...But it was what was strapped onto their belts that immediately confirmed Jonathan's suspicions. Adjusted his eyeglasses. No denying it. Those were 'canisters'. ...Much like the ones the drug dealer had sold him, if his sight wasn't deluding him. But then, he was far away, so, he could be mistaken.

"Good morning students. Let me appologize for bringing you here in the middle of 3rd period, and to the college students I am sorry for disturbing your lunch."

Oh, right... college students. No wonder this place felt so packed. Was everyone here, for.. 'third period'? Jonathan looked around a bit.---Whoa. A large number men in identical uniforms came in, except.. they didn't have the white 'X's.. from all Jonathan could tell, with his neck craned towards them. They proceeded to surround the entirety of the assembly, as if already expecting mass riot to break loose. ...And even some of the college students were pulling on hats. What was going on!?

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I TOLD you we couldn't trust HIM..."

"...S-SILENCE! W-Wait f-for th-the m-man t-to s-speak!"

"Aufseher offered us his good deals, but ve have not established 'Militia' quickly enough. He is resorting to drastic measures, ja---?"

"...I-I s-said q-quiet."

"..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Now let me introduce to you, my Enforcers. These four here are the Captains. No need to learn their names, you may not have time for friendly talk. I am cracking down this time around, if you are caught skipping, if you are caught fighting, if you are caught doing anything at all against the rules, they will deliver punishment without question."

"..I-I s-see..."

So that was it. The S.H.C.P. was too weak, and was hard pressed, when competing with the Pillars, though.. the Student Body President had gone missing for a bit. And while rumors had floated about the fourth pillar that there supposedly was, there was no sign of.. 'him/her'. Leaving the already powerful Aureus Hayes and School Captain Mitsuki Park. How amusing. But, undoubtedly, as a counter-measure to make sure the upcoming School Evaluations went smoothly, there would be resistance to the new restrictions. Back when he was just 'there', this sort of turn of events wouldn't have bothered Jonathan at all. He was a good student, if a little secluded, and no one would really had a reason to mess with him, nor bother him. But now...

...Now, as a 'S.H.C.P.', it meant he had responsibility, and he had to take into account what sort of impact these 'enforcers' would have. Would they completely rub out the S.H.C.P.? What of the Pillar hierarchy? For while he could not say for himself displeased, there was immediately displeasure in the amount the masses. Things like...

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! seriously?"

"Well isn't this just the nicest surprise?"

"I LIKE MEN!"

Apparently, some 'funny guys' in the crowd. But that was nothing to a rather familiar voice..

“You got to be kidding me! More people? MORE people Asiv? You got your damn faculty and the students you brainwash to “keep us in line”, isn’t that enough? I remember the first time we talked. You were so confident in your system and now you’re bringing in more people. Why? Do you need even more people to hide behind? Are you afraid or actually doing something yourself?”

Thrush stirred. Oh. So perhaps it's not me who met up with this fellow.. Still, for whatever "Thrush" felt, Jonathan detected every bit of insubordination in the boy's voice. Perhaps punishment was in order? He felt an urge to rise and raise "Thrush" into a frenzy onto the kid, but, he kept seated for a bit. Maybe. Maybe...

"May i ask something? , why are you doing this ?" Although the crowd was divided in half-angry/half-obedient, with Jonathan among the.. 'obedient', he could still make out that there were distinguishable voices to be heard. Mr. Asiv himself seemed to actually be listening as well...

"Now, now, please settle down. Dylan, I still believe completely that my system is full proof. Yet there are those of you with hidden agenda's.... I need to pick those people out rather quickly.... An example would be..."

Mm.. the voice triggered something within "Thrush". So THAT's what that boy's name is, eh?---WHAT IN GOD'S NAME!?---

His heart pumped. The doors would burst open to reveal a gray/silver-haired boy was being dragged down the assembly room, and onto the stage. Jonathan stood up, half disbelievingly. Hidden agenda? John Ong!? How pathetic he looked up there.. it made Jonathan want to wince, and in his subconscious, "Thrush" was brimming over with rage. Torn apart, his clothes hanging. The man he'd fought against, when he first became initiated into the S.H.C.P. to prove his worth, turning against the S.H.C.P.!?

"You see, Mr. Ong here had a hidden agenda... He somehow heard about these Captains identities and moved to take them out,b efore I could introduce them to you all."

But why? Why would he want to take on Mr. Asiv? He was a comrade. Where did his loyalties lie? They were comrades. Lie. He lied. His loyalties... Jonathan's. Rage. Rage. Rage. He shook where he stood, standing amongst the crowd. Did not know whether to curse out Mr. Asiv, or applaud him.

"But there was nothing he could do. Captain, Auron if you please."

A canister.

A red one. Strength. Just like the one the drug dealer had demonstrated on that other boy. With amazing speed, he rushed towards John Ong, panting there.. and slammed an amazing punch into him, into the concrete, the 'strong' material breaking, to plant John Ong firmly there. So that was it. So that was it. Did that mean he was the last remaining S.H.C.P.? Or would John Ong be drawn back into it? For now, though, stuck there in the wall? That was the safest place that Mr. Ong could be.. and dictated an end to his punishment.. at least for now.

“You didn’t answer the question! Why the hell are you doing this kind of thing?”

At once, anger flared again. Something that was once uncommon now glowering over Jonathan, as he stood there, this turn of events putting his mind under many new stresses of concerns and thoughts he needed to organize. And "Thrush". Should he let him loose, let him take care of the latest speaker?---

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"I REFUSE."

"W-Why? Y-You w-wouldn't h-have a-any q-qualms a-about i-it, b-before.."

"..I made a promise."

"T-That o-old th-thing? ...D-Do y-you e-even r-remember w-who y-your t-true m-master i-is?"

"A PACT IS A PACT. I HAVE TWO MASTERS. ZE THIRD... is questionable..."

"..H-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... y-your q-quite th-the h-hypocrite. W-We're b-both s-servants o-of Mr. Asiv. H-He's m-much m-more i-intelligent th-then h-he l-looks.. c-continue s-serving h-him! C-Continue s-serving m-me, a-as y-you a-always h-have.. T-That i-is w-what w-we a-agreed o-on, wh-when th-the w-whole m-mess g-got s-started, a-anyways.."

"..DON'T YOU DARE EVER BRING ZAT UP AGAIN.---"

"---Y-You s-seem t-to b-be c-confused. R-Remember, y-you h-hold n-no c-control o-over m-me. I-It's q-quite th-the op-opposite.."

"---Well zen. What are YOUR views on zis, zen, eh? EH!?"

"..I-I..."

"..."

"...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... vell zen, 'MASTER', I HIGHLY suggest that you pick a side soon enough. Or ve vill be alone once again. And I don't think even I will be enough to save you... I, for one, have picked my side, 'JONATHAN'. I suggest you do the same."

"...."

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Standing there, anger fuming... he brought up his right hand into a fist. Eyes fluctuating from blue to red, to blue again.. and red... but it seemed that blue won.

His right arm was at a ninety degree angle, as he nodded, before fully saluted the man. As if to ask 'Orders, sir? Want me to handle the latest loudmouth sir?'

I, for one, have picked my side, "Thrush". I suggest you do the same..

[Jenna Scorn]

"You see, Mr. Ong here had a hidden agenda... He somehow heard about these Captains identities and moved to take them out, before I could introduce them to you all."

her eyes peered at this Ong guy, squinting slightly to get a better look at him before returning her eyes to the principle. She was sitting up in her seat now, feet planted upon the floor.

"But there was nothing he could do. Captain, Auron if you please."

Now she watched in disbelief.
What sort of school had she come to?

Now she stirred, biting her lower lip before standing.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She screamed, but would anyone hear her over the crowed of students?

So many of them were yelling, speaking, whispering to one another.
It was so hard to think, to breath.
Her eyes would glance from side to side taking in the disturbed students around her before settling her full attention on the principle.

She opened her mouth, readying to spit some sort of angered words in the principles direction but another voice halted her.




“You didn’t answer the question! Why the hell are you doing this kind of thing?”


She searched, blinking her eyes to find his form now.

Swallowing.
Thought of waving to him, seeking him out and asking what in the hell was going on.

But she kept silent.

Now watching Johnathan as he'd give a salute.

How heroic.

She scowled now.



Now, she'd stomp one foot upon her seat.
Standing higher up to get some sort of attention.


"This is ridicules!!! I will not stand for this!"




.

[Zack Asiv]

Perfect... Just perfect. Exactly what he was looking for. They where angry, upset, some still shocked, others not giving a damn, but the over all effect was plastered on the faces of each and every single person. It was all directed at Asiv. Even through the new yells, questions and orders to stop the madness he stared with a smile at Mitsuki... Why? Something odd about that... Either way he got his results. He broke the stare to look around at the masses, the whole crowed was moving in some way or the other, but those being obedient, or loyal stood, or sat still, it looked like the students where moving at high speeds, while those unmoving where normal. No sound, but it all came back.

Asiv spotted Winters, good man. He was going to give him a nod to go ahead, but his attention was thrown off by a girl standing on her seat screaming... He took a moment with a blank look at her... Calamity... Why did Asiv know that name? Because it was off limits. So he looked away and back to Winters, ignoring the girl, but this time his nod to Winters would be to silence her before he had to give orders that broke their little agreement.

Mr. Asiv's eye brow twitched. He was starting to get very displeased with this so far. Even after the display where they not taking this seriousely? Was he not playing the tyranical dictator well enough? Did he have to get his own hands dirty before they took thsi seriousely, finally he would raise his voice, for the first time anyone would hear, most likely the last as well.

"QUIET!"

Thats right Asiv yelled at the students, never before had he raised his voice, always calm, always completely in control and happy. Something was bothering him, the Enforcers where just a mask, thsi assembly was just a mask. Something esle was hidden behind it, something other than Mr. Asiv's face. He would clear hsi throat and regain his barings.

"This is happening for many reasons. Last Years Evaluations didn't go as well as planned... My current ways of going about stopping your delinquint ways was too slow. Those are the ONLY reasons you need to know."

Oh there where others, the students where so very ignorant of those other situations. John Ong was too smart, oddly enough, he heard way too many things, damn that Jyo.

[Mitsuki Park]

OOC: >>...I don't know why I can reply to this thread and not the others.. And no, she isn't schitzo.

"Then let me ask you this, Zach."

Mitsuki was calling him on a first name basis. Right now, she did not see him as an educator, nor did she see him as a human being. She was being casual with Zach, because there was no point in being formal. Only direct. Her voice would be loud enough for those around, and Mister Zach Asiv to hear; if not, than the whole auditorium. She saw his little smile, but she acted as if she took no notice of it. Whether he liked it or not, more students would be on her side than his - his methods weren't the greatest, in fact, they sucked. He was being irrational about this; Mitsuki wouldn't have minded if there were more SHCP's, but a whole new f$&king mob? Unacceptable.

"How long do you plan on keeping it here?"

She saw that "Auron" insert a drug in himself. They really weren't human beings, were they? They were like robots; super, steroid-ed robots. They were impassive; although Mitsuki herself seemed to be apathetic, you could tell a difference between her and them. It was as if they survived off of killing; of punishing, of destroying.

Eyes like daggers would pierce straight into Asiv, for she was keeping her eyes on him the whole time. Guard was always up, and others around her hushed up as she spoke. Slowly, she moved forward, passed Thrush - or Johnathon, she couldn't tell from the back - passed Keith, passed everyone until she was in the front. In the end, she knew that a fight broke out; it was useless trying to stop it now. The tension was so thick...it was impossible to avoid it. She would have to seek help from the student body, because it would be impossible to fight this on her own.

..should a battle break out....can you win this?

Even the teachers are on my side.

Yes, but can you win this?

Yes.

Are you sure it's impossible to avoid it?

...

What of those who can't fight? What are they going to do?

...I..don't..

You have to think before you act, Mitsuki. Or else you're no better than Asiv.

...

You're not Superman; you can't protect everyone.

...

Well?

I can try.

...

And you know..

...

I'm not alone.[/color]

[Winters]

OOC: The others CAN reply.. they just choose not to, or something.

"...Understood."

"This is ridicules!!! I will not stand for this!"

Oh dear God.. was that...? SHIT.

That was the LOUDEST he had ever heard anyone scream. That wasn't just him, right? Fears grew. That wasn't just him---He looked up at Mr. Asiv. He was being affected by the sheer volume of it as well..

...Jenna... do not make me do this...

Mr. Asiv gave him a nod. Good eye reader. Very intelligent man. ...Sorry Jenna.---

"QUIET!"

There. The scream came out loud. This was a day of many firsts. Jonathan stood rigid, for a moment. Petrified, a little? ...Yes. Ja. Was it him, or did the whole place become absolutely quiet? Angry Mr. Asiv? Took Jonathan a full minute to realize he was still standing, still saluting. He brought down his hand, and stepped out, towards the middle, as Mr. Asiv continued speaking..

"This is happening for many reasons. Last Years Evaluations didn't go as well as planned... My current ways of going about stopping your delinquint ways was too slow. Those are the ONLY reasons you need to know."---

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Are you serious!?"

"Ja."

"BUT I THOUGHT YOU LOVED---"

"B-BUISNESS, H-HONOR, A-AND P-PRIDE, THRUSH. W-WE C-CANNOT A-ALLOW O-OURSELVES T-THE L-LUXURY O-OF S-SOFTENING O-OUR D-DEFENSES."

"...But, this is your 'Calamity'---"

"D-Don't y-you r-remember Mr. Kaluskov? H-How c-can I-I b-be c-called a-a s-soldier, n-never m-mind a-a l-leader, i-if I-I t-too s-show i-insubordination? B-Besides... I-I d-don't l-love h-her, b-but o-our p-punishment w-would b-be n-nothing i-in c-comparison t-to z-ze Supervisor's.."

"Your a harsh man---"

"A-And y-you c-cannot l-let y-yourself s-soften y-your O-OWN r-responsibilities a-around y-your... 'M-Master'..."

"....Rrrrrr..."

"..H-Hahahahahahaha..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

But surely then, even if it came to that, he doubted that the SCHOOL CAPTAIN would actually go up against Mr. Asiv. After all, he had given her that position, right? ..Wasn't too clear on the methods of selection, but, according to "Thrush's" collected data, well..---

"Situations or not... I'd LOVE to see one of those enforcers try that bullshit on me. Steroids or not... one of them intereferes in my business ,or situations in the school. I am quite sure you understand my stance on that Asiv? As in I handle my own shit."

DANGER. DANGER. RED LIGHTS. DANGER. Jonathan stared up in horror at what was going on. Who was that... TITAN of a teacher, there!? That bastard came out of NO WHERE. Who WAS this powerful man? He could feel the guy's aura, and he was somewhere WAY back. Pulled down.. Jonathan's.. 'comrade' from the wall, before muttering something that gave Jonathan deathly chills, though he couldn't hear it. And then.. stalked off..

...Someone to look up, and add to 'the list'.

Mr. Asiv was still smiling at someone...---

"Then let me ask you this, Zach."

---Oh, SHIT!

Struggling back, to reel back that 'familiar' yet 'unfamiliar' tone. Only "Thrush" knew of it, more then he did.. but.. it was somehow recognizable to himself as well.. Thrush was struggling to break loose. ..Wait. Zach?

"How long do you plan on keeping it here?"

His left arm was shuddering uncontrollably. He had his orders. Had to take things on, piece by piece... He rushed out, into the middle of the assembly room, where all was clear, and hurriedly made his way to the first offender.. unbeknown to Jonathan, a boy named 'Kane'. Eyes were cold, face was statuesque. A right hook to the boy's face, before quickly turning to the boy next to him. "T-TAKE H-HIM T-TO TH-THE N-NURSE'S O-OFFICE..." He turned to run over to Calamity..---

Of course it wasn't going to be that easy. And worst of all, his left arm was shuddering worse and worse. ..This wasn't happening. This wasn't possible. He had to get Jenna out of here, before "Thrush" burst out.---BURST!? When did 'HE' get so strong!? ...Something bad in his bones, something shaking terribly in his bones... A boy had grabbed onto him.. "Hey, bub, what's the big deal, socking that kid---" Leaning forward, he kicked backwards.. had to keep on running.

Rushed over to Jenna... as quickly as he could, as people were slow on the uptake of what he had just done.. Crossing in front of several seated people to get to her, he shot his left hand out, to grab her by the shoulder, to pull her towards him, and leaned himself towards her.

"N-No t-time t-to e-explain! T-Things a-are a-about t-to g-get u-ugly h-here! B-But p-please, n-no m-more o-outbursts..." ..A much calmer approach then he had originally planned, such as knocking her out too... but there was urgency in his voice, though his face remained like a stone. His eyes livid, as he tried to fight "Thrush" down. ..And, I don't think I quite thoroughly explained to her that I'm an S.H.C.P. now... unless she caught hint of it, at the 'Restaurant' meeting.. He had become an S.H.C.P.... but he had made sure to set boundaries, so that she, at least, would be safe. Why? Even if he didn't feel that way about her? Loyalty. His first good friend at this school.. and he'd drag her out of here, limp, if he had to, so long as he could make sure she was safe.

...Miss School Captain, on the other hand...

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

""Thrush"... i-if S-SHE s-starts s-something... S-School C-Captain o-or n-not.."

"..."

""THRUSH!" P-PAY A-ATTENTION!"

"...I..."





"...Understood."

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

[Kate]

Well, wasn't this interesting? Kate arched an eyebrow, so much action in so little time hmmm? People screaming, running around. Funny how ants ran when you held a magnifying glass over them...right?

There was one person who drew her attention away from Mr. Asiv... and that was Hiroko. She had a bit of information for him...and if Kate had her way...the last thing she ever would say to the man. But that could wait. Maybe even a note or a voice message would be better than speaking to him to his face. Last time she had done that, Kate had been in for more than she could handle. Way more.

Instead she remained quiet, in her seat, feet placed on the ground. Looking calm among the freaked out. She wasn't for the school, nor was she against it. Kate was merely there, as she had been told. None of this mattered to her. Some one could die...and she wouldn't care as long as it wasn't Valekin or herself.

Kate had found a few new reasons to live.

[Kane Hikari]

Kane's body shuddered with the impact of the blow and nearly collapsed, he could feel consciousness slip from him, unable to move his arms to stop himself he let his eyes roll back a little as his heavy eyelids closed. he felt his knees hit the ground with tremendous force and wanted to cry out in pain but his mouth wouldnt move, he was already in a stupor. he went light headed and suddenly the rest of his body hit the ground.

he released himself to the daze that set forth... it wouldnt be long before he was off in dreamland again. suddenly his eyelids closed the rest of the way and he was out, unable to feel anything or remember much

[Obsidian Dragon]

Warren watched the whole display from the back of the auditorium. He was late comming in and so was standing with his back against the wall, His sister Lilith infront of him. She was currently leaning her weight on her arms which were resting crossed on the guard Railing infront of her. His face wasent his usual neutral mask, It was a Genuine Scowl.

'So this school has such a Disipline problem that not only does there seem to be infighting amongst the Peacekeepers, But They require EXTRA Muscle? How.....Inept. Perhaps it was a mistake comming to this school. Though I must admit I find Myself Intrigued despite myself. I wonder how this will all play out?'

Warren had snorted in sheer disgust at the outbursts that were erupting around the auditorium. So now the school was protected by Drugged up Bruisers? Somehow Warren Couldent help but fail to feel relieved, let alone reassured. He didnt even dare think of one of them comming anywhere near Lilith. His Fists Tightened as he began to feel the tension reach the breaking point. A Student had been Slammed into a wall and was now being carted away. That caused Warrens eyes to widen slightly. Now more shouting, Oh How he HATED the noise. He couldent help but wince as he felt the corner of his eye twitch from irritation.

"This is ridicules!!! I will not stand for this!"

"Then What shall you do about it? Stand there and hold your breath until you are blue in the face?"
Warren muttered to himself. This whole thing was putting him in a foul mood and he could tell that Lilith could sense it from the way she fidgeted.

Suddenly Warren Noticed Exactly Where Lilith was.

At some point When The Four Enforcers had made thier little Entrance, his Sister had moved from the wall and was standing Beside Warren, Pressed up against him with her head resting on the meat of his shoulder, Her arms holding fretfully onto his lower forearm.

Fear. She Was Afraid, That much Warren was assured. But of what? The fighting that was now going on? A Rather slim man with long white hair was going amongst the crowd, Apparently silencing some of the Louder students.

"So. This is how this administration solves thier problems. Silence the Dissenters. How ruthless. How......Hmm, Words seem to escape me at the moment. What do you think of all this Dear Sister?" Warren asked as he tried to get a good look of her face, Perhaps gleaming a clue of what was the real reason she was so upset.

[Jenna Scorn]

"QUIET!"

Eyes narrowing upon the principle.
She'd never seen him before, never had a reason to hate him.
And even now she didn't hate him, she was just highly irritated.

The whole room was silent, for a short moment.
Students peering from left to right.

She still hadn't lowered herself from the chair, she herself thought of charging on forward.
Straight at the principle.
She had no chance of course, but maybe he she went first, others would follow.

An out break of rioting students.
Something she'd love to see.

"This is happening for many reasons. Last Years Evaluations didn't go as well as planned... My current ways of going about stopping your delinquent ways was too slow. Those are the ONLY reasons you need to know."

"That son of a bitch..."

Spoken softly, under her breath as a few students around her would whisper to one another.


"Situations or not... I'd LOVE to see one of those enforcers try that bullshit on me-"

Hiroko-san?

Head turned now, tilted to get a better look at him.
It was about time he showed up.
She'd smile to herself.
Someone had to stand up to him.
Someone who had a chance.

She was about to rush in to Hiroko, to aid him if anything got out of hand. But as she was about to lunge forward she'd catch Johnathan heading towards her and she'd halt.

Her body stiffening.

He was looking at her.
Heading towards her.

You.

His arm shot out quickly, grabbing her and pulling her close.
At once she'd fall into him, almost crooning into him but not she'd stiffen. A hand pushing against his chest.

"Let go of m-"

"N-No t-time t-to e-explain! T-Things a-are a-about t-to g-get u-ugly h-here! B-But p-please, n-no m-more o-outbursts..."

She swallowed.
Blinking her eyes.

Why do you care.

"...Tell me."

I should spit in your eye.

A soft whisper in to him.
Needless to say she was scared, behind all her rage and anger for the current situation she was horrifide.

Fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt and pulling him close, her lips brushing against his chin as she'd grit her teeth, almost like some sort of rabid dog.

" What is going on?"

Things like this never happened at her old school.

[Travis Delmonte]

Well fuck. Travis had simply gone to the this place because he was called here. He had a headache, and everything that was currently happening was making it worse. People would scream out, the teacher would scream out. Travis was getting pissed off. He was getting sick of EVERYONE in this damn place. But he was slightly interested in what was actually happening around him at this time. Asiv had brought in the new, tougher dudes in black to keep all these students in line.

Ya know.. Every time we have one of these little get-togethers.. They are never a good thing..

Travis did not see what was the big problem here. Who cared if those stupid fuckers in black we're around. They wouldn't stop Travis from doing anything he wanted to do. If he wanted to leave right now, he would. Hell, thats all he really wanted to do. Was get up and leave this damn place because it was too damn loud. He felt like his head was going to explode right now. It was like he was at some huge before sports event and all the damn reporters were shouting their questions out to be answered.

The first real surprise to Travis though, was the student that had been brought up and destroyed with a single punch. It seemed that whatever liquid that dude had just injected himself with was some good shit. Travis couldn't help think that he definitely wanted to get his hands on some of that junk. And as the seconds passed, it all seemed to fall down on Travis' head. Asiv was setting so many rules, caging these students in like rats. He was starting to look like fucking Hitler. 259 was turning into a damn Concentration camp.

This is happening for many reasons. Last Years Evaluations didn't go as well as planned... My current ways of going about stopping your delinquint ways was too slow. Those are the ONLY reasons you need to know.

Ahhh.. So there it was. It all came down to the evaluations. Was that the only reason Asiv placed these men in black here? Was he trying to make it seem as if he had reformed the school relatively quickly, for the cameras? Travis guessed he would find out in time. And so much was going on right now that it was hard for Travis to concentrate on any specific person. He would hear hints of Hiroko's voice, the monster who he had encountered within the first couple days of his initial arrival at 259. More and more people seemed to object. More and more people seemed to be unsteady. This weren't looking good. He had a strange feeling that whatever was holding these students back from rioting would be ripped in half soon.

He hadn't actually chose a side. If he was even given a choice, he still didn't know if he'd suck up to the MIB, or if he'd stick with the students he just loved so much. Travis had tried to join with the teachers at the first assembly.. That had turned out bad.. Hiroko had damn near squashed him.. And this time, if Travis went up against these guys in black, would he even be able to do anything? Or would it just repeat the same as before.. Finally Travis would decide to speak out.

"Asiv.. You know that putting these.. harsh.. restrictions on us really isn't going to get us to behave.. Actually, it'll just make everything worse.. You think that you would realize that by now.."

[Lilith]

Emergency Assembly!

One thing instantly went through Lilith's mind.

PEP RALLY!!!!

Pompoms, cheers, spirit sticks! Oh the fun to be had at the pep rally.

Warren had obviously thought it was something completely different she had found him glaring at her outside of third period right after the announcement had been made. How in the hell had he gotten there so fast? She sighed as he pulled her close keeping a grip on her small arm the entire way. She didn't get it. After all it was just a pep rally. A rally full of pep! How could that be bad? Assembly was just a fancy way of getting your fighting spirit all riled up so you could go beat the Vikings and come home victorious! Woo hoo! Kill those vikings! She should SO be a cheerleader she'd fit right in! She made idle chit chat the whole way wondering why she hadn't been informed. She wasn't dressed for a pep rally! No school colors in sight on her small body. Damn. Way to show school spirit Lil. Oh well she'd get it next time.

Oh! Light bulb! she would just keep some spirit related clothing in her locker! Why hadn't she thought of that before! Wow!

As they entered she saw they were a little late but it didn't look like the fun had started yet. There weren't even cheerleaders yet. She sighed. This was probably the time the principal was going to stand there and instill the wonderful spirit within us. 'Its been sixteen years since we last won a football game. We have to support our men as they go out tonight against the Vikings!' and then everyone would cheer but no one really cares because the whole thing doesn't start until the cheerleaders and drill team come out to do their thing and get everyone's blood boiling on the death of the Vikings for tonight's game. Lilith to say the least was very excited. Her first high school peprally. As soon as Warren was situated she was at the rail looking down over the auditorium waiting to see what kind of music they would use and how good the dancers were.

She couldn't wait!

But then the principal began to speak and a confused look crossed her face. She didn't get it. He was cracking down on the school? What kind of pep was this rally supposed to have if he was degrading them allready? She didn't get it at all! Then the 'enforcers' came in and Lilith's eyes went large. Immediatly she moved back from the rail. The way they looked the way they dressed everything somehow reminded her of the nights Richard would come to visit her. She was by her brother's side in moments and clinging to him for dear life. She knew if anyone he would protect her til his heart stopped beating and she would try to do the same but she was not a fighter at heart she would try to get other's to help. Still her eyes glared at the men dressed in black as people around her began to get outraged and some white headed boy went to take out the girl that was speaking out. For a brief moment she wondered if he had a tramatic past or if his hair was just white.

Warren looked down at her and asked her what she thought of this whole thing and the first thing she could think about that came to her mind was.. disappointed. She had expected pep, cheer, flags waving, music blaring, the squeak of sneakers on the wooden floor. But no. It was a discipliary action meeting and it sucked to be frank. But even worse than that was the fact that she was going to have to see those men, the ones in black, around every day at school and she knew she would freeze she always did when something triggered her memories of Richard like thunder storms, or men that resembled his build or his face or she heard a voice that was close. She couldn't watch the History Channel because of him, she had a lot of issues and now they were going to be envoked daily.

"I.. I don't.. like those men." she whispered she nodded towards the men in black. "They.. they.. " she didn't finish she didn't have to her tone would say everything and she knew it as she closed her eyes and her hands clenched on the coat that Warren always wore.

If it begins to thunder now I'm through. She thought to herself as she got herself under control and her eyes opened slowly but she said nothing else she stuck close to her brother and watched as everything unfolded she knew he would protect her if he had to and neither of them were stupid enough to call out to Mr Asiv and complain.

"Warren.. they're going to.. patrol the halls? Ever..everyday?" she whispered.

[Candescence]

Bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit.

That's the thought that went through Feros' brain, as he watched the assembly go to hell. Mr. Asiv had employed a couple of MIBs to instate order in the place. And these guys had some pretty powerful drugs. He didn't know about John Ong (The last name sounded like he was a caveman)... But to see that one of guys could cause such damage with a single punch was a bad sign.

"This is happening for many reasons. Last Years Evaluations didn't go as well as planned... My current ways of going about stopping your delinquint ways was too slow. Those are the ONLY reasons you need to know."

Goddammit. He was very sure Asiv wasn't telling everything.

"Situations or not... I'd LOVE to see one of those enforcers try that bullshit on me-"

That powerful teacher had taken Ong off to get some medical help. Good man. However, Asiv was still very confident about his new decision. Feros wanted to take action, show this man why this plan wouldn't work... But he wouldn't stand a chance against those drugged bastards. But he knew someone who could.

He quietly removed the lid on the glass case he was carrying. Anyone who had somehow noticed, and knew what that case was for, suddenly tried to get away from him. Wise choice. Feros swiftly put on the 'special' gloves that he had made from himself... And took the wooden, repulsive African Idol in his hands. He took a deep breath, as he heard a voice from nearby.

"Asiv.. You know that putting these.. harsh.. restrictions on us really isn't going to get us to behave.. Actually, it'll just make everything worse.. You think that you would realize that by now.."

Ah, someone asked a genuinely interesting question, from the man with the goggles and the steel-toed shoes. Asiv HAS to answer that one. Suddenly, a strange sound passes through Feros' ears. He recognized it all too well. That mystical, mysterious, and creepy harpsicord tune that would sometimes be played on occasion, no doubt that what devilry inside the idol was responsible. Oddly enough, the tune was being heard by others.

"What is that music?"

"It's creepy!"

"We don't have any Harpsicords in this school!"

Strange. Must be getting close to that time of year, when the stuff in the idol REALLY runs wild. No matter. Feros was already chuckling, as he threw the idol into the air completely vertically, barely enough to make a small sound as he caught it again, before 'looping' that action again continuously, just to get some attention. It was only this time, he spoke, the subject being about what the man with the goggles had just said.

"Mr. Asiv, I am equally curious about what that man said... I believe we all deserve to hear your opinion on this."

As curious as what to Asiv's reply would be, Feros was more curious as to what would happen if he threw the idol to one of the men in black. In most probability, all hell would break loose, and it wouldn't be the students that would start it. Feros was thinking of doing it. But there were risks. But he still didn't care... But he decided to wait, until Asiv would reply, and when the greatest opportunity would arise.

[Stu Pott]

((oOo snap, Justin is posting. Keep yer heads down))

Pandemonium racketed the emergency assembly, almost every student in a fucking uproar over an increased disciplinary schedule.

So what?

The delinquency that ran rampant through the school was disgusting. Fights everywhere. Students skipping classes.

Just was sure that he had never even seen some of these students walk into a classroom, let alone actually take a class.

So, when the news came that Asiv was increasing the security throughout the school, there was but one single man who was totally okay with this. Why not? If nothing else, it'd provide a change of scenery.

However, the other children, and he used the term loosely, were in a fucking tizzy. Justin stood up, and yelled towards the SCHP,

SHUT THE FUCK UP

Who the hell are you to fight against Mr. Asiv's decisions?! Huh? No one. You are a fucking child, who is supposed to go here for classes, get an education, and then move the hell on. So far, I haven't seen many of you in a single class. Some, i've never even seen with a notebook.

Other's, hell, I've never even SEEN you.

You are all so god damned busy beating the shit out of each other and humping like bunnies that you don't even realize you are at a school.

You all disgust me.

The young man turned to Asiv.

You are a hero, and the savior of this school, Mr. Asiv. Please continue.

[jacob]

Well, it seemed that there was yet another assembly going on inside of this school, and Jacob who was innocently making out with a girl in the hallway ended up getting caught by a teacher. It was quite a noisy interruption, and it caused the two teenagers to both look over at her with a confused look their face. She stated how lucky they were for not having to worry about getting disciplinary treatment due to the assembly thing, and thus the reason why Jacob was being forced to go in the first place. The last thing he wanted to do was fight a woman, however ugly she may be! Besides, it saves him from another chance of picking up a horrible disease which would ruin his sexual activity for the rest of his life. It ended up to be a bonus if anything else!

A very dull look was shown on Jacob's face, his eyes half open, and his body slouched down in his chair. He was staring up at the ceiling, not paying much attention on what was going on. That's when he ended up beginning to hear people yell, and his dull stare looked upon the student. Nobody of any importance. Back to the head of the school, and we see someone taking drugs. Well, that's nice, and what a healthy example to show to the young mind of violent crazed children. It even forced Jacob to raise an eyebrow toward the strange display. He had once previously seen something like this from a crazy student in Public High School #552 when he was a freshman, but he never expected something like this out of a principal.

As times went on, things seemed to be getting really intense too! It just seemed to worsen the situations, kids rioting, people picking sides to try and grab attention, and a total chaos being broken into the school! JACOB COULDN'T STAND FOR THIS! Here he was, someone who had no significance toward the school at all, and he was expected to just sit down and think this was okay!? He didn't even have to be expected to be there tomorrow, and you expect for him to take what will effect the lives of millions others!? It was almost like Jacob was just getting wrapped up in the moment, he couldn't control it!

Soon enough, he was forced to act! Leaning over to his left, he looked over toward his neighbor sitting next to him, and spoke with a voice full of seriousness.

"Hey, by any chance do you have any gum?"

Now that is taking desperate action right there!

[Keith]

Seemed that all hell was going to break loose right here and then at the assembly hall. However, Keith wanted to have nothing to do with this. He wouldn't take Asiv's side nor the side of the rebellion. Keith was simply a "businessman."

He had his own personal agenda, too. However, one doesn't necessarily be all up in the face of others to reveal a hidden agenda. Keith carefully witnessed what happened to the SHCP known as John Ong as he was beaten by those enforcers.

Keith wasn't going to take any sides in this matter. The beginning line from Nicolas Cage's movie "Lord of War" said it best.

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do you arm the other eleven?

Instead, Keith wouldn't be dealing firearms. He would be dealing other stuff... Yuri in Lord of War was a merchant, nothing more and nothing less. In this case, Keith was just a businessman. Taking sides would be unfavorable...

In a sense, it wasn't Keith's fight.

"It's not my fight," Keith said to himself. In the midst of the possible chaos about to ensure, Keith would slip out of the assembly hall unnoticed and exit to safety.

In order to survive this possible ordeal, Keith would have to rely on those rules of gunrunning that Cage's character went by in the movie.

1. Never get shot with your own merchandise...

2. Always have a full-proof way of getting paid...

3. Never take a gun and join your customer...

4. Never go to war. Especially with yourself...

Keith would quickly and quietly leave the assembly hall. He was going to let the enforcers and the student body fight it out with each other.
