Class of heroes

[Kaori]

"you shouldnt have tried an antic like that" said James to Seiko, "at least I got zorlo to help you just like you asked" replied Seiko, "ah yes he was quite powerful as you mentioned but the situation was under control, I was about to load psychic rounds to deal with that thing",said James, "why are erdgeists vulnerable to that stuff?" asked seiko, "it forces them out of their bodies and we all now they cant do anything in gas form" answered James, "now its history class, I hope you read your lessons miss usui".

"I'm not a pervert!" insisted Vash to his men, "heard that heard them all" said one of his men.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo chuckled when he heard that statement about being defenseless in a gas form. In theory, that's true. Still, those of us who possess NTP aren't as simple. As Zach was there, it would probably work, as Zachary lacked his necessary funnel weapons to protect his body, but such tools were still effective, Zorlo had to agree. For now, Zorlo had to return to finishing what he was working on. Thus, he returned to Nephilim's room.

[nekoryuuha]

Classes ended, and Nephilim walked out with a sigh as she glided down the hallway above the other students toward her room to grab a book she forgot this morning and to see if Zorlo was there and wanted to go eat. The hallways were all high ceilinged, probably to allow Celestians to do just what Nephilim was doing without having to worry as much about hitting someone in the head, though the taller Drakes were still an issue at times, like when two Celestians were passing. Either way, Nephilim made excellent time back to her room as she unlocked it and walked inside to see Zorlo. She wasn't surprised as she'd chosen to secretly get Zorlo a key, even though he technically had a room in the boy's dorm and wasn't supposed to be there(the girl's dorm) in the first place. "Oh, hey Zorlo. So, did you hear...?" Nephilim trailed off as she noticed the scraps of parts all over her floor. But she didn't put it together only she saw the bunk of the monitor next to the Erdgeist. "I-Is that the Library's computer...?"

[Zorolo]

"Was is the correct term," Zorlo said as he closed the compartment on his forearm and his forearm lit up. Suddenly, a massive sphere of data appeared segmented around him as screens began to spin. A keyboard projected in front of Zorlo's hands as he began typing. "I found their hideously out-of-date technology in need of an upgrade. Also, a personal Communicator worked out much more effectively for me in the long run," Zorlo said as he began hacking into the Class-Change website. "Just like this website needs some changing. After all, I'm not as much of a warrior as I am an Engineer... and that will be true... now," Zorlo said as he pressed the last key and the class 'Engineer' appeared on the screen. "Class Change, complete."

((I don’t know what that means o.o))

Saber’s exploits were not as useless today in the terms of his magical practice. Rather than repeating the chant eight or nine times, Saber’s magic was now complete at four or five chants. Cancelling, however, had not shown any progress, causing Saber to doubt his canceling abilities. ‘Maybe you can’t cancel a fully charged attack?’ Saber bit his lip until he accidentally drew blood. He looked at his inner lip and then at his watch. It was almost time for the labyrinth. He looked down at his ripped uniform and cursed under his breath. “Crap! I hope they don’t care.”

Saber quickly tried to adjust his sleeves as he launched up into the air, the sky was always his shortcut. However, he was blockaded from the labyrinth without much explanation, but nonetheless returned to his clearing. Exhilarated at mastering, or at the very least getting better at using, his magic, Saber decided to practice other forms of attack rather than his trademark windblast. After an hour of no progress, he returned to classes, and afterward proceeded to detention.

((Sorry all. I seem to have forgotten I was supposed to be a part of this. Can I rejoin? And if so, can somebody give me a quick synopsis. Last thing I remember James just arrived.))

[Kaori]

((Sorry all. I seem to have forgotten I was supposed to be a part of this. Can I rejoin? And if so, can somebody give me a quick synopsis. Last thing I remember James just arrived.))

((well the place is crawling with imperial soldiers and they're going martial law all over the place, James is busy trying to stop a cultists from summoning a greater demon into our realm while trying to be a teacher and Zorlo just got gundam style weapons upgrades, and yes welcome back drake.))

[nekoryuuha]

"Huh..." Nephilim closed and locked the door behind her after walking inside. She didn't want anyone to see this yet. "Wait, you get internet on that thing? Let me see that," she replied to him as she came over to kneel next to him. He held out his arm and gave some quick instructions that let her eventually access her email and send a message to her Mother before returning to the class change site. "So, this is what you've been you to all this time? That's pretty amazing, Zorlo. Well, to me, at least. That reminds me, I was trying to ask you earlier if you'd heard about the commotion earlier today? It sounded like it was near the Labyrinth."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

((Also it’s Monday, the labyrinth is closed, and classes have just ended =D BTW, Kaori, I shan't be posting starting Thursday cause I'm going on a little vacation. I'll post when I'm back. Honestly, looking at the quality of your guys' posts, any of you can move Saber as you like. If you want to hold him however, I can tell you more about him and stuffs.))

[Zorolo]

Zorlo looked at her as he continued to allow her to play around with the internet and whatnot within the sphere. "Well, it was nothing really. A small skirmish between some soldiers and some random Erdgeist. Seems both sides were being pretty arrogant instead of simply negotiating something," Zorlo stated with a nod. "Seiko told me something about it. She'd know more."

[nekoryuuha]

((Where is everyone...? I feel like I'm the only one here anymore...So lonely... ;_; ))

"Seiko, huh...?" Nephilim replied as she looked back over the list of classes and specializations. As she thought, there were few that she could even consider wanting to take up, much less appeal to. but then, she'd expected as much already. Her style was already fairly unique, so it couldn't be helped. "Oh! Right, Zorlo, have you eaten yet? I came up to see if you wanted to eat lunch with me and possibly Seiko and the others if we catch them. So how about it?" she asked cheerfully.

[GamerKale]

((I'm waiting for response from Kaori. I have an idea to explain Trafalgar's absence, but I wanted to run it by her first.))

[Zorolo]

Zorlo looked at the woman as the computer screens vanished and he smiled at her. "LUnch sounds good," Zorlo said with a nod as he took a step forwards. "I'm actually quite hungry. I didn't notice, since I've been working so hard, but I'm going to keep working on it."

[GamerKale]

((Thank you Kaori.))
Trafalgar awoke in a dark room and he could hear chanting. "Ugh, what happened?" He took in his surroundings as best he could, using his breath to supply some light. "Where am I?" He was chained and on a bed, the room was otherwise spartan and his weapons were gone. There were no windows to speak of and the door looked to be made of metal, steel maybe. "I'm in a locked concrete room with a steel door. Whoever these people are, they don't want me getting out. All that chanting, probably some sort of cult, when did I get grabbed by a cult? But more importantly than all of that, they took my sword."

With a roar he started trying to break his bonds. It took a few tries, and his roar got louder with each one, but he managed to pull the spike securing his legs out, rolled backwards onto his feet and, after destroying the bed, pulled out the other spike. The chanting got quieter and Trafalgar thought he could hear angry shouts outside the room. With his fire breath he managed to break a link on each of the chains. "Ok, let's go see who took my sword." He walked over to the door and kicked it as hard as he could which sent it flying back and crushed anyone unfortunate enough to be on the other side.

[Kaori]

"well see you after lunch miss seiko" said James as he tipped his hat and left the young woman, "ah so this is my classroom" said James as he eyed the spacious room, "sure brings back memories of my time in the institute" he said nostalgically.

"Pssst! Mcleod!" whispered James' seatmate malcolm, "did you hear? They're here!", "who's here?" asked James, malcom replied by passing him a scrap of paper with a stylized letter I, "yeah right" replied James "why would the inquisition bother looking for candidates here?", those were the last words he remembered telling malcolm before he was told that he was accepted.

"Report" said the high inquisitor, "219 men lost and counting sire, how much longer to we can conduct an exterminatus" asked a younger James dressed in black robes as he carried a dataslate, "stay here acolyte I'll go rally whats left of the knights." with that the inquisitor left him of his own.


"fun times indeed" muttered James as he began unpacking the things for today's history lesson.

[GamerKale]

"OW! Definitely steel!" Trafalgar stepped out into a hallway, there were several other rooms, also with steel doors, lining either wall. And a handful of guys with whips and clubs to both his right and left, and on the floor he saw a familiar looking sword. "Hello you." Whips lashed out as he reached for the blade that had been in the hands of the head jailer. Then the clubbers descended upon him. Trafalgar ignored them at first and just grabbed the sword. "At least you got a scabbard for it." He picked up one of the cultists with his free hand and swung him in a circle, knocked down the others and threw him into one of the whippers. He grabbed another whip, pulled the other whipper to himself, and threw him into his former cell.

One of the cultists started to run, so Trafalgar grabbed a club and threw it at the back of his skull. He picked up the rest of the cultists two at a time and started tossing them in the room. He put the door back and welded it shut quickly. As soon as he was done he found his head being slammed up against it. He kicked out backwards getting himself a little breathing room to turn and face the Drake he had initially knocked down with the door now standing, bloody, and pissed. He was also holding the sword again drawn it too.

The blade in question came lunging at him and Trafalgar was just barely able to sidestep the attack. Trafalgar was taller and he figured stronger, but the cultist was definitely more skilled and in this confined space Trafalgar's size was working against him. He blocked with the manacle, this time thankful that they were made of whatever sturdy metal they were made of. They kicked one another simultaneously and went flying backwards several feet, they mirrored one another with equally pointless bursts of flame.

"I'm stuffed" muttered seiko as she proceeded to the history classroom, today's lunch was exceptionally delicious, "looks like I'm early" exclaimed seiko then she noticed James preparing the classroom, "ah miss seiko I wanted to give you this since you called for help earlier, and dont worry this was made just for you" Said the Inquisitor/history prof, he presented her with a cellphone sized device and said "this is a class change contraption or C3 for short, it allows instant access to many classes provided you have met the necessary prerequisites" he said and with that seiko turned it on and pressed a class and it said in a digital voice "gunner" with that she suddenly felt her trigger finger itch....

[Zorolo]

As Zorlo was heading towards lunch with Nephilim, his com device on his arm began to hum slightly. A small map with a number of dots appeared on it as Zorlo smiled. "I see... so they're not terribly far from here... I do need one for an experiment... probably more. Frail humans," Zorlo mumbled nearly incoherently to himself. The Cultists could create something similar to an Erdgeist out of humans, and that made them somewhat useful. Not the Cultists, but the cultivated humans they created. If they were, in fact, similar enough to Erdgeist, then they would be just effective enough to be test dummies for a psycho-communications amplifying material to be added to their bodies to test the effects. All Zorlo needed now was a living one.

In that moment, Zorlo's other scientist sense tingled. "I sense something else of interest!" he said as he looked around. "The cultists can wait... this is closer!" Zorlo said as he looked at Nephilim and went quiet. "I mean... let's get some food first, right?" Zorlo asked, chuckling slightly.

[Kaori]

"well any luck?" asked Mira to the techpriest, "I'm doing what I can but this thing is beyond my expertise" replied the servant of the omnissiah, "at least they know how it works Mira" said Drogan who was looking around the techpriest's room, Magos land was the said techpriest and he was apparently tasked with finding out how exactly these cultist mannikin's work, "omnissiah please show mercy on these abused gifts" he said as he studied the hollow bodies once more.

"no more bullets for you" said James as he came out from under the desk while seiko was apologizing for giving the desk more holes than swiss cheese.

[GamerKale]

Unlike Trafalgar's sword the one he had made was small and light, perfect for a tight space like this, unfortunately Trafalgar wasn't enjoying those benefits. He was forced back around a corner and dove for the dirt just in time to avoid a dozen or so bullets. The sword came crashing down again and Trafalgar blocked again. Ok, I've had just about enough of this. Don't betray your maker. He grabbed the blade saying, "Dull", and pulled the jailer down and began wrestling. Trafalgar managed to get the blade out of his hands, said, "Llud", stabbed it down into the drake saying, "Thorn." Blood seeped out of the jailer's mouth and he stopped moving. "Nroht" Trafalgar withdrew the blade and rolled forward, avoiding the gunshots. He looked at the blade, "I don't think I ever properly named you, and here I've gone and made you kill already. I'm sorry, but I need to use you a little longer. Let's see what's behind door number one." Trafalgar raised his leg to kick when he remembered the other drake. He grabbed him by the leg and pulled the body out of the line of fire. I wonder how long I have before they figure out how to unlock that door. Speaking of which, he glanced around the corner, it looked like there were a lot of people out there, the chanting was clearly coming from that direction now and he thought it sounded as if it was coming to a fervor. "Best get before they finish whatever ritual it is they're performing." It took a few tries but he found the key to the door and although the room bore a striking resemblance to his old room, except there was nobody in there. He tried a number of other rooms with the same result. "Looks like I was supposed to be the last one, wonder what they'll do when they find out I'm not in my cell anymore. The answer came rather quickly several heavily armed and armored cultists entered the cell area and Trafalgar did the only thing he could think of, which was climb and hold himself up high and hope that they didn't think to look up. They didn't, and he heard the screams of the men he had trapped as they got dragged off.

He put on the clothes of the drake he had slain, asides from all of the blood they were in good condition. He unlocked his manacles and took off an insignia he didn't recall the other cultists having and peaked around the corner, they were apparently content to believe this building was now empty and had left the exit open. That or it was a trap, but he didn't exactly have any other options. Trafalgar exited the building and found himself in a forrested area, there were a number of cultists performing a ritual nearby and there were a number of people chained to stakes in the middle of the ritual area the fronts of some of their shirts were a disturbing shade of red. He recognized some of them as the men he had tossed around mere moments ago, they were screaming he could see that but it was drowned out by the fervent chanting. Trafalgar disappeared into the surrounding foliage, he knew he should be running right now, but his greatsword was still missing so he instead hid nearby and watched
