Syndrome 1: Sky High
Disclaimer: Sky High is a Disney movie. The Daystar virus is from Blade Trinity. The Theta virus is from The Exiles comics The Carbon Plague is from Cybergeneration.
Anything else should be from my head. Any similarities with any other genre please tell me. Thank you.
Study log of Professor Atherian Proxy: Atherian Institute of Paranormal Studies
There has been a possible "incident" involving the Daystar virus. It is possible it is some type of hybrid strain that has been unleashed. Possible combination with the Theta Virus and the Carbon Plague are also detected. I have dubbed this the Superhero Syndrome. It seems to turn normal humans into superhumans. Not a bad thing, I think. Well I don't think so. Anyway, I'm sending eight of them to the school known as Sky High. This should be a good training for them. I hope.
Quick Dossier:
Mysti Moressan: She should be your typical teenage girl if it wasn't for the fact she uses magic for the simplest things, like eating.
Omarion Zenon: I think the phrase is, "He has a chip on his shoulder." His temper is volatile, so is his powers. Things get destroyed and people get hurt when he looses his temper.
Takashi Hibiki: He's one of the most calm and odd individuals of the group. He only fights when he wants to and when he does, it's fast and effective. He does have a weird sense of humor though.
Alita Rodriguez: She loves "tinkering". She takes things apart. She repairs things. She has the tendency of making things out of thin air.
Ethian Randeil: Ethian's not human. He's still not sure of humans. Hopefully this will help him.
Derrek Forestfire: Derrek is also cautious around humans. Unlike Ethian, Derrek is human. He has actual animal instincts in him. Make him dangerous when agitated.
Able Aliveian: Able is a paraplegic enhanced with his own brand of cybertechnology. This makes him happy. I'm not sure why human worry so much about their flesh.
Victoria Dolay: Victoria is not human, Victoria is not an alien. Victoria is an AI. She's in an android body. She's in this world to explore. I'll think she'll be ok.
Randall Radley: He has a condition called asthma. He has little to no control over his powers. Will need to keep an eye on him.
Charlie and Kelly Eastwood: They are very interesting for twins. They finish each other sentences even when they are in different rooms.
Waiting for the bus.
It's a beautiful day. The warm breeze, the shining sun, and I'm stuck here with my friends.
"Man I wish I had a boom-box or something!"
That's Omarion. He's ok. If you like overbearing jocks.
"Here. Now let me finish my game."
That's Alita. She just gave Omarion an MP3-/Sat Radio unit She's playing a wi-fi game against Victoria, Able and the Twins
"This. Is. Very. Fun."
"You need to adjust your vocalizer, Able. You sound like a cyborg."
"But. I am. A cyborg."
"Don't worry Able. I'll teach you how to adjust it."
"Thank you. Alita."
"And if she doesn't..." starts Kelly
"I will." finishes Charlie.
The twins do that alot. Derrek is looking back and forth from Mysti and Ethian. Mysti has a journal floating in front of her with a blue and gold quill writing in it.
"No that's not right. Erase it."
Ethian is standing there rubbing his temples
"Do you have to stare at me, little one."
Derrek grumbles and sits down near Takashi who is meditating.
The bus arrives, and we get on. Derrek and Ethian both get on the bus cautiously. I have the strangest feeling why.
"I don't trust this thing."
"I agree with your assessment Derrek."
When Victoria and Able stepped on the bus it lowered a good 12 inches.
"Too. Heavy."
"Yeah. Low tech bus."
"Low-tech bus?" The bus driver says. "Just wait."
Wait, for what? We didn't have to wait long. When the straps and the bar dropped. Derrek got really nervous and so did I
"What is this?"
"It starts." replies Ethian as he closes his eyes and put his hands to his ears.
When the bus shifted to flight mode everybody except Ethian, Victoria, Able and Alita scream. Victoria, Alita and Able went back to playing their game. I was having an asthma attack. Great. I'll get my inhaler, when we land.
Orientation
The bus land. Everyone vacates the bus. Derrek does so very quickly.
"There has... got to be a better way to get... here." Derrek says and then throws up.
"Are you ok?" says a girl in green who walks up to the group.
"I'll be ok."
"Ok I'm Layla. I'll be escorting you to the Gym."
In the gym we meet Principal Powers. Only Ethian and Able were listening. Everyone else was either gaming, listening to music or looking around. I was still recovering from the trip
Enter Coach Boomer
"I'm Coach Boomer, some of you may know me as Sonic Boom. This is Power Placement. You will come up here, and show your power. Then I'll assign you either hero or sidekick. Occasionally we have a few 'whinerbabies' who don't like their assignments. Well, tough. Do you understand? I said DO YOU UNDERSTAND!"
"Yes sir."
That sonic scream actually hurt. It hurt Able to.
"When I call you're name come up here and show me what you can do. Aliveian."
Able walks up to the platform.
"Hello."
"Well?"
"Well? What?"
"Show us your powers."
"I am. I am walking."
"That's it?"
"Well..."
"SIDEKICK."
"Ouch."
"Dolay"
Victoria walks up still playing video games.
"What you got, cutie."
"I play video games."
"That's it."
"But of course. Are you saying there's more to the Monitor than games?"
"Sidekick."
"Ok. I'm beating your score, Alita."
"What?"
"Eastwood."
Both of the twins walk up. Coach Boomer stares at them.
"I said Eastwood."
"Which one?"
"Twins huh. Well since you're both up here show me what you two can do."
"Right!"
The twins grab each other's hand and spin around. I see Ethian duck beside me. I wished I ducked when everybody and the coach gets knocked back by a shockwave.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Coach Boomer bellows.
"Just a double powered shockwave. Nothing too big."
"Heros."
"Forestfire? So what can you do shorty, set plants on fire."
Coach Boomer's answer was a growl and being thrown into the ceiling. After the coach got off the floor he says weakly "h.h..hero."
The coach coughs, "Hibiki"
Takashi walks up. Most of the girls were looking at him save Victoria and Alita.
"Helooo."
"Show us your powers."
"Wellthatwouldbe hard. Youseemypowers dontturnon atthedrop ofahat. Wellsometimes itslike boom, andthennothing..."
"Car."
To Takashi the world slowed down. He didn't even register that he moved. The next moment he was standing on the ruins of the car. Everyone was quiet save Victoria who says while still playing her game.
"He's got potential."
"Hero."
"Moresson."
Mysti walks up with lots of little things floating around her.
"I'm kinda nervous."
"What is this? You collect junk."
"No. Thing tend to float around me. Shoo. Shoo. See."
"Sidekick."
"But..."
"SIDEKICK!"
All the stuff around Mysti falls to the ground.
"Radley."
I look around. Oh great he means me. I walk up to the platform
"Ok Radley. Show me what you got."
"I don't know?"
"What do you mean you don't know."
"Its random."
"Random? So you're saying you have no powers right now."
"No I'm saying I have no idea of what powers I have."
"Look kid I'm not in the mood for games."
I was going to say something when I got the giggles.
"Sidekick."
I walked of the platform still giggling. What a time for me to get the giggles.
"What's so funny?" Derrek asks me
"I don't know."
"Randeil."
Ethian walks up to the coach.
"First off, this is demeaning."
"Yeah, yeah. Shut up and power up."
"No."
"What."
"It's demeaning and I'm not going to."
"Sidekick."
Ethian walks down, and hears Omarion whisper to Victoria.
"Does pointy-ears have any powers?"
I would answer that but that's when Ethian looks dead at me.
"Rodriguez"
Alita pauses her game and walks up.
"Hola."
"So what's your power?"
"I play with toys."
"Toys..." before Coach Boomer could finish she had a plasma rifle pointed at him.
"Like this little thing here. Good for stopping unwanted advances." Alita was looking directly at Omarion when she said that.
Coach Boomer actually gulps, "Hero."
"Zenon"
Omarion swaggers up.
"Sup."
"What are your powers?"
"What do you need."
"Car."
The car starts falling. Omarion claps his hands. The car and every window in the gym shattered.
"I hope that wasn't it, coach."
"Hmm. Hero."
That's when the bell for lunch rings. Food, glorious food.
