2024-10-29 19:42:56Once the bus arrived she rushed out.
'Hey Suzanne! Hold on a sec!' Justin was saying, trying to quickly get out but his bag strap which was hooked to a random iron. Other people got out too.
Annabelle snickered as she passed Justin, who was trying to untangle himself. He scowled at her, annoyed. Yes, she was truly mean.
~~~
Suzanne stood at the entrance, hesitant and unsure. She didn't realize it earlier but everyone right from the bus had on a certain color of uniform.
Why hadn't she been given one?
She took a deep breath and stepped into the gigantic crystal building dazzling in the warmth of the morning sun. It was quite huge and there was no other settlement in sight.
Just a lot of different training grounds and other buildings belonging to the hero league.
Suzanne took in a deep breath. This is it! She thought proudly as she stepped into the busy hall of the main building.
Everyone looked so busy, and seem in a hurry to go somewhere and do something. She tried to stop some people to ask for directions but they all hurried past her.
As she stood pondering on what to do she heard a painful groan from somewhere near her so she went to investigate.
Four mean looking girls had cornered a girl with violet hair and eyes. She was on the ground in pain as one of them landed a blow on her.
Suzanne's eyes lit with angry fire. Who did they think they were, picking on someone else?!
She marched up boldly to them. 'Four against one? I don't think that's fair!' she spat at them going into her protective stage.
From the looks of it the older girls were D-ranks.
'Scram newbie!' one of them scoffed.
Suzanne assessed her opponents. They were way stronger than she was. One of them could take her down easily with just a little finger. They were all Wintexs meaning they had powerful gadgets.
What are you doing Suzanne?! Her inner mind screamed at her. You should be looking for the orientation room!
The girl on the ground opened her eyes weakly. 'Go.'
Suzanne shook her head stubbornly. The girl managed to smile. 'It's okay....they're.....my...sisters.'
You heard her! Move your butt before it gets kicked too. She'll be fine. Suzanne started to walk away. Just then another punch was landed on the girl's face.
Then another. And another. And another.
Suzanne halted and took a backward glance. The girl's face was bruised and blood was oozing out of her lips. Suzanne clenched her fists.
This isn't right!
She looked around. There ought to be a hall monitor around somewhere.
'You feel stronger now, huh?!' Another blow. All the anger came rushing back to Suzanne. She turned back and the four of them looked up at her.
She halted again. The evil look in their eyes......
She could end up in the sick bay.
Suddenly a guy walked up to the scene. And faced the older girls. She gasped. It was....
Ryan.
'Ryan..,' Suzanne whispered.
He looked deathly calm. 'Isn't this surprising....,' he started in a mocking tone.
'Look newbie, best get out of our way or....,' the one who had threatened Suzanne started but Ryan cut in. 'Or what?!'
He looked quite challenging.
The older girls were at a loss for words and Suzanne just stood frozen on the very spot she was.
'Why don't I finish that sentence?' Ryan stepped closer to the now semi-bored older girls.
He clenched his fist. 'You all best get lost or else...,' electricity started running through his clenched fist. 'We have better things to do,' the eldest scoffed and turned but not before landing another kick on the girl as she passed.
The others laughed and followed her.
The half beaten girl smiled weakly at Ryan. His tough expression softened a bit but came back with all fury as he turned towards Suzanne.
'You just stood there and watched!' Those words pierced into her. She was supposed to be a hero, was she not? Yet she had turned her back on a helpless person who desperately needed her.
Heroes don't do that. They swoop in to save the day.
Ryan carried the injured girl gently. 'You know Suzanne...,' he started when he got to her and passed by her, their backs turned to each other. 'You disgust me.'
She turned swiftly. He didn't even glance back. She kept looking at his retreating form till he went out of view.
She ought to be whooping for joy: her crush, aka the hottest guy in her form, knew her name but more painfully important...she disgusted him!
Suzanne groaned and crouched where she was.
What had she done?!

As she crouched there bemoaning her fate, someone who was running tripped on her, causing them both to tumble on the floor.'Hey!' she cried.The guy huffed as he dusted himself. 'What were you doing back there, weirdo?!' he fired at her angrily.Suzanne looked the other way as she humph-ed at him.'I was thinking like a normal person when you came rushing like an animal--- Hey!' she faced him. 'What did you just call me fatso?!' Suzanne scoffed as she dusted herself.Ethan huffed again. Girls were nothing but a bother!'Fatso?! You're so dumb! The puff is from the armored suit I'm wearing.''Say what you want fatso,' she replied.Ethan fired her a nasty look. He looked away proudly. 'Anyway I don't have time for the likes of you. I'm a Slad now, so that means you're looking at one of the super gre

Lots and lots of strange faces. She felt like a little fish in a big pond, luckily she sighted Justin the guy from earlier. And he had not been unfriendly.'Hey Suzanne!' he waved at her. She stood by him. 'Hey! What's going on?' she asked.He smiled. 'Nothing much. The instructor was just briefing us on the rules of this place and explaining the different rankings of a hero. And Slads like us too. Besides where'd you run off to?' he asked.Suzanne scratched her head. 'Umn....Sorry I kinda got mixed up in all the excitement of arriving here. I guess I just kind of ran off.' Justin laughed warmly.'No worries. Besides what did you do to that blondie over there? The girl from the bus?' he pointed discreetly so she wouldn't see him. 'She's been glaring at you every two minutes since you ran in.'Suzanne had a good idea of who it might be.'Does she o

This was a huge mistake. Suzanne's feet refused to move.'O'Izzy please join your team mates,' the instructor told her, a bit annoyed. 'Um....you're...you're sure those are my er ....squad?' Suzanne asked uncertainly.He looked quite irritated now.Andrew scoffed, not looking up from his book. Ryan didn't even glance at her or look in her direction. Only Ethan waved. 'Oy! Over here!''That, O'Izzy is your squad for sure now stop asking rather dumb questions!' the instructor replied sternly and stopped what he was doing briefly to focus his undivided attention on her.Suzanne gulped. 'Kay,' in a small voice, noticing that every one was now staring at her. She felt several jealous eyes of the other girls piercing her as she remained rooted to the spot.She walked towards them and it seemed like slow motion as she moved.She fina

'Silverstin?!' Suzanne quipped, amazed.The guy that stood before them was the hero league's best student. It was rumored that he had worked for Shades for a while but his power was too much for them to contain and in order not for him to be eaten up by darkness he was sent back to the hero league since they'd assumed being around his mates would bring out his positive side.Nothing changed.He was the most popular hero. Even new born babies knew his name.But he was rumored to be strict and rules-abiding. He also didn't do anything fun.He was a Rolex. His powers weren't fully known yet but so far, he could turn people within a sixty mile radius into ice. He mainly dealt with ice-based things.When he was still a kid, about three different series of painful experiments were run on him by his dad, who worked for the rogue heroes.He

'Let's go,' Aiden said to the rest of Squad 10.'But...' Ethan looked in the direction Suzanne had run out through. 'She'll come around soon,' Aiden said without looking back as he kept walking away, the rest of the squad tailing him.Reminds me of Ryan. Ethan thought.Aiden led them round the building, getting them more familiar with the grounds.He gave them each a map in order for them to survey the whole place on their own.Afterwards he led them to a spot outside the garden where they'd meet up with their coach.'While we wait, I'll like you to keep me acquainted with your skills and strengths,' Aiden told them.'Shouldn't you be more concerned about our weaknesses and ambitions?' Andrew asked. Aiden scowled. 'A hero has no weakness, so if you think you're hero material you'd know that fact!'

Suzanne got down at her bus stop.'Bye Suzanne, till tomorrow!' Justin waved from the bus. 'Yeah. Bye!' she waved back and started walking home.She heard quiet footsteps, she looked out of the corner of her eye. Someone was following her from the shadows.She frowned. I can't conclude yet. He might be a passer-by.Suzanne took the next turn and walked left and suspiciously, the steps also moved in the same direction.She hid behind some buildings and as the person moved forward she rushed behind him with a dagger aimed for his side. She secured a tight grip on him but was unable to see his face.'Care to tell me why you're stalking me?!' She asked in a low, dangerous tone, or at least what she thought was a low dangerous tone.He scoffed. 'Why would I stalk you?' She quickly released him.That voice

Suzanne woke up quite alarmed. She was feeling quite odd today. She freshened up and went downstairs to get her breakfast. She munched her cereal slowly.Why did it feel like she was forgetting something? Something important?Shane looked puzzled when he saw her downstairs.'Um--' he started. But Suzanne continued slurping her cereal. 'Call me loser one more time and I promise to cut off your tongue!' she said to him.He scratched his hair.'Actually that's not it. You know I always skip first period in class everyday, so I go late.'He replied.'So?' Suzanne asked, irritated. He was stating a fact she already knew.He smirked. 'So if I, a usual late goer am headed out by this time, what does that make you?' he asked cockily.Suzanne gasped and dashed into her room.

'Your goal is to--' Gwen was interrupted by her emergency signal. 'I have to take this. Aiden's in charge now.'She faced Aiden. 'You know the basics, you'll submit the report of their trial at the end of the day.'He nodded curtly.'Sure.'Gwen did a little salute before she took off. Aiden turned to them a cold frown on his face.'Okay. Here's what you have to do,' he started. They moved closer to him. He showed them some gems and had it passed around before he collected them again.'Buried in the soil are these objects; rubies, diamonds and sapphires. Now you'll get a mark depending on which you find first. If you find a ruby you're disqualified and if a member is gone you all fail. If you find a sapphire you're not going to participate anymore which means you're also disqualified.'He smirked. 'As you know if one of you is

The alarm clock beeped.A brunette stirred lazily on the bed. She tried to find the snooze button all to no avail.She clenched her hand into a fist and knocked the alarm clock away from her bedside table, sending it up in the air and crashing into her room's wall, making a big dent and destroying the alarm clock along with it.Suzanne turned to her other side to resume her sleep.This was Herotapolis, where the heroes lived.In this city there lived real, breathing heroes. You could tell already by the name of the city right?Hero League was an organization that pooled together normal people and trained them to become heroes. From chasing of bank robbers to extinguishing of fires in burning buildings, to serving as body guards to important people as well as getting stranded animals down from trees, or odd places, the heroes were ever availa

Suzanne yawned as she got off her bed.It had been a week since the E-rank exam. Their E-rank crest had been given to Coach Gwen but she said they had one final minor test to take before they were given their final E-ranks and then they'll meet their M.D corp three days after.Suzanne got her brush and combed her hair.Ryan was discharged the previous day so she knew he would be present today. She smiled at the thought. She had to look her best today. She got out her ribbon and packed her hair in a neat pony tail. She decorated her hair with her accessories.'Wassup, loser,' Shane leaned on her door post.'Hey Shane,' She decided to start ignoring the loser stuff ever since she heard that Shane had followed the guards that were taking Kyle away to give him a big talking to then he had landed a punch...or had attempted to at least.'Andrew's

'The judges have decided that Kyle Quole will be scratched out of the hero-league program due to the behavior he exibited today. But this decision shouldn't affect squad 12 so they shall be assigned a new Slad to join their group. Marissa Cartwell,' the Tifex said.'She has all her complete points and therefore can not be a hinderance to the team,' he concluded on that matter.'Suzanne O'Izzy, the judges have decided you are granted a win due to the situation on ground. Hence your battle with Kyle is crowned with you as the winner,' he stated.Suzanne couldn't stop her wide grin. Man, was she lucky!'And since Ryan Ziantez and Caleb Marsh had been shot, both will be given a pass too, however Andrew Frankstin and Lucas Will who remains standing will have the last battle. Their battle shall hold and the total counting shall rest on their shoulders.'The Tifex announced.

The crowd watched in open mouthed amazement.'Jesus, please help Suzanne,' Aiden prayed silently, his head bowed. It was the only thing he could do.Kevin glanced at him before facing the ring again. 'You sure are a terrible CIN, Aiden,' Kevin chuckled. 'I'm sure when CIN Rodrick was your age, he sure did a better job.'Aiden rolled his eyes.Suzanne yelped as a bullet whizzed past her.'He has a gun!' she shrieked, cowing on the spot.The comentator didn't know what to say. In all his years of moderating in contests, this was the first time someone wasn't fighting back.Shane watched as his twin ran around the ring while her bulky opponent, who was assigned to face her, fired off flames from the second gun he held.'Stay still!' Kyle hissed at her as he pursued her.

The noise of the crowd had quietened down. Now most eyes, if not all, were on the Squads that stood in a straight line assembled below.The Tifex moved about as he addressed the audience and the Slads.'Here are the instructions, listen up because I'm going to say this only once and that's it.' The Tifex said to the squads.He gestured to the field.'Over there, behind those red lines, the different squads facing each other will stand. But note, one person faces off only a person from the other team. And the match between the two will last for just a minute. The person that remains standing after the one minute time laspe will be the winner.'He looked back at the judges and nodded stiffly.'Since there are four members in each team, each team member will face the person he's facing opposite on the other line.

The squads that passed the first round were all assembled on a straight line and were made to face the panel that came from the headquarters.At their right was a battle ground with red lines marked close to the end of both sides, leaving a vast amount of space for dueling in the middle. A Tifex stood in the middle of the mini-field to act as a referee for the contestants.At the four corners of the huge wall, lots of seats were raised on a higher podium so as to prevent the fighters from reaching the onlookers.Defense mechanism shields were also put up in a form of glass around the places the audience would seat.Hence it was assured to be a safe match. The audience could easily watch the match below them without any worry of being injured by the fighters.The judges had a separate seat from everyone else. The CINs' seats were some feet behind the judges

Andrew stopped using his laptop and looked up. It all makes sense now. He thought.He then snorted as he looked past Ryan who gave him a puzzled expression which was ignored. Andrew stood up and headed for the door. He walked ten feet away from it and stopped, a frown of concentration was deeply etched on his face.'What are you doing?' Ryan asked with mild interest. Andrew continued to ignore him.Andrew bent down and felt the ground. 'Just as I thought,' he muttered to himself.'What is it Andrew?' Ryan asked again. He walked up to Andrew's side.Just then Suzanne and Ethan ran up to them, breathless.'Where's the package?' Ryan asked them both, extending a hand towards them swiftly. Ethan shrugged and raked his hand through his hair. 'We don't have it. We didn't see anything.'Ryan's gaze hardened as he appraised Ethan and Suzanne coldly.

'How are we going to find anything in this vast land?' Ryan wondered aloud.Andrew was deep in thought too.'And the others must not find our package! It's an impossible task!' Suzanne wailed.Ethan cupped his hands over both his eyes like a binocular. 'I can't even see the end of this land....,' he whistled. 'Then there's the forest and mountains. Quite an impossible task, I'll say,' he concluded warily.Andrew paced around, deep in thought. An hour is hardly enough for searching. We could search for months and not find it....there's more to it than this. He continued thinking hard.We are allowed to find other Squads' packages...that must mean something. Andrew got out his laptop and started working on it.'We are doomed! Doomed I tell you!' Suzanne stamped her foot on the ground.The ground shook everytime she brought her leg down. 'Doomed

Suzanne shuffled from one feet to the other nervously. Aiden had picked them all up so that no one would turn up late.They all stood at the entrance of the extremely large hall of Super Hero High.Aiden flashed his ID card for the perusal of the guards that were stationed at the backstage entrance for only the contestants.They turned and entered. A small table was at the entrance of the main hall. That room led to various sections and other compartments of the hall but all entrances had a guard beside them.They had to check in with one of the Tifex. Those are the instructions that are in charge of every examination. The main room was beginning to get filled up as more squads trooped in with their CINs.A Tifex headed towards them.'I'm Silverstin. The CIN of squad 10. We've registered since two days ago,' Aiden told him. The r
