The next days pass by quiet and with a cold vibe. A lot of the class mates are still shocked about the incident in chemistry class. Three days after the visit, Mammoth and Gizmo go with Ashley back to their apartment. Her class mates can't really recognize her anymore, it's like she is a completely new student. Ashley still continues being apathic.

Five days later...

Gizmo and Mammoth watch TV, while Ashley is in her room. Both of them talk.

"You know", says Gizmo "something is... different. And i don't mean her pale skin."

"What do you mean then?"

"Her personality. When we brought her out of the hospital station, she looked pretty... cold, you know what i mean?"

"Yes, i know. You're right. Wonder what she's doing right now..."

"Guess she's hearing music or draws something."

Mammoth nods. Ashley indeed sits at her desk, but she stares at her drawing. It's always the same sentence she whispers to herself.

"Luck... or bad luck... luck... or bad luck..." she says, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, but her eyes are always focused on the drawing.

"Something is missing. Something... that makes it interesting..." she whispers.

She takes a pen and draws some more. Every line she draws looks perfect, as if a famous artist had drawn them. It's as if she is possessed by something.

"Done."

She takes another look at her drawing. The drawing shows her in a black robe, with violet shoulder covering. Striped tights in violet and black and high shoes. And the most interesting part: Hair, formed like horns and bound with hairband which form two tips.

"Time to visit the tailor."

Ashley opens the door. Gizmo turns his head around and watches her leaving the apartment.

"Hm. Looks like she got an idea or something. She had a sheet of paper with her." he says to Mammoth.

Ashley walks through the halls of the Academy, focused of finding the tailor in the highest section of the Academy - the section where Brother Bloods room and the Council is located. A lot of students aren't in the halls anymore since it's 10 PM. However, there are a few HIVE soldiers which patrol the halls.

"I hope im not too late. The tailor is always open at this time since he doesn't like to work when there are more than hundred students waiting for some clothes."

She walks to the elevator, then she activates it. The Academy looks and feels very cold when no students walk through the halls anymore. A lot of the lights in the entrance hall - where she right now is - are out already, and only a few are still on. After a minute the elevator arrives at the highest section of the Academy. Ashley leaves the elevator and walks to the tailor, when suddenly Brother Blood appears.

"Hello Ashley. What leads you at the evening in my section?"

"I'll have to go to the tailor."

"Then you should run. I've talked with him lately. He said he won't come back till next week."

"Thanks for the advice."

Brother Blood nods and walks to his room, while Ashley starts running. She arrives at the hangar. In the hangar are several helicopter like vehicles, the HIVE gunships. These gunships don't fly with rotors, instead, they can hover a few hundred meters without any devices. They have a hexagon pattern and are well armored. The first section of the hangar alone got slots for 30 gunships, and there are six sections. At the exit of the hangar, she can see the tailor, and runs to him. The tailor seems old, and is packing his items away to leave the Academy.

"Excuse me?"

"Yes?"

"I know it's very late and we should ask you at 6 PM for clothes, but i really need..."

"The youth... always too late, no matter where and when, but at least they're always polite... what do you need?"

"I... i have a drawing. Could you do these clothes for me?"

The man takes the drawing and looks at it.

"Hm... yes, this looks good, i can work with that. Alright, little lady. First of all, i need your name, your class and grade and of course how tall you are... just in case something is wrong with your cloth."

"Ashley Mayweather, Junior HIVE, eight grade in Dark Way Prep. Im 5,8 feet tall."

"Good. You're lucky, i do have the robe already. Just stay here while im making your stuff. It won't take much longer than an hour. In the meantime..."

The man opens a box, which contains a few robes. He takes one of the robes and give it to Ashley.

"... you can take this robe. You can try the robe inside my transport car."

The tailor starts working, but Ashley decides to watch the tailor...

Half an hour later, in the apartment

Gizmo and Mammoth turn the TV off.

"Where is Ashley? She should come over here now..." Gizmo says.

"She could be everywhere. She'll come back. We just leave the door open and then she can walk in."

"I guess. Well then, good night."

"Good night."

Mammoth walks into his room and closes the door. Gizmo turns the lights of the apartment off and want's to go into his room, but then he looks into Ashleys room. There are drawings everywhere.

"What the hell did she do...?" he wonders and then decides to sleep. He closes the door and walks into his room...

The next day...

Mammoth wakes up and hears someone in the bathroom. It's 8 AM. He walks out of the room.

"Seems like Ashley is back."

Mammoth walks to the kitchen and looks into the fridge.

"Hm.. hm... always the same. But im soooooooooo hungry. Well, food is food i guess..." he thinks and just takes some things without looking what it is as long as it is delicious and rich of calories for his big, muscular body. Then he turns the TV on. Gizmo walks out of his room and walks into the living room.

"Good morning, Mammoth."

"Hey Gizmo."

"Do we have some buns left?"

"Yep. In the fridge are some buns to freshen."

Gizmo opens the fridge and takes out a few buns. He puts them into the oven. Then he turns the oven on.

"Im just realizing i didn't tell you what Skully is about to do later." says Mammoth."

"Oh really? What is this idiot doing again?"

"He want's to attack See More after class. He followed him the last days. Im wondering why Brother Blood didn't threw him out of the Academy already."

"If i would be taller, i would so punch him in the face."

"I could, but they are too much and we never had combat experience."

Gizmo nods.

"He threatened us too."

"What?!"

"He said to me if we would disturb him once more, he would kill us."

"Oh great, really. You are the only one who can really fight, i don't have any useful devices for a battle or a gun and Ashley, well, let's better not talk about that."

"Don't worry. We'll just leave him alone."

"If you say so..."

The bathroom door opens and Ashley walks out. She looks completely different.

"Hey boys. How do i look?" she asks curious.

Mammoth turns his head to Ashley and makes big eyes. Gizom walks to the hall where Ashley is.

"I thought i could use a new fashion style."

Gizmo investigates her robe.

"If im correct, that robe is made out of cotton and damn 4X flexible Steel! This isn't just a robe, this is a damn armor! And it looks really good too." Gizmo says impressed.

"Indeed, that looks really good."

Ashley smiles, but she forgot one important thing.

She puts out her hairbands and then takes her long hair and forms it to a horn with two little tips on the left side. She does the same thing for the right side.

"Now im done."

"Not bad. Man, you look like a real HIVE student now, if you know what i mean." Mammoth says.

"At least no one can say i look like a ordinary school girl anymore."

She walks into the living room and sits down on the sofa.

"Ohh... so you went to the tailor, am i right?" Gizmo asks.

"Yup."

"Pretty lucky, he's gone now."

"Lucky... yeah... that fits. I just can't wait for class anymore, i'd like to know how the others will react when they see me."

"Hehe, yeah. But for now let's make some breakfast..." Mammoth says.

Hours passes by like seconds. The class mates - besides Skully, who just skips class - are impressed about her new look. Even Brother Blood is impressed. Ashley is motivated and works really good the whole day, and after the lunch break, she walks back to the apartment, while Gizmo and Mammoth are still eating. Suddenly, in the hall which leads to her Arboretum, she finds a dozen of students in a half circle. She can hear the voice of a well known person: Skullys voice. Ashley walks through the half circle and watches how Skully and his group punch See More.

"How do you like that, One Eye?!"

See More tries to talk but they continue attacking him relentlessly. Skully notices the girl with the pink hair, but he doesn't know it's Ashley.

"Oh wow, who is that sweet girl we got here?" he asks and grins. While the others punch See More, Skully looks directly into Ashley's eyes.

"Man... you're really cold looking, you know that? I don't like people like you. I never saw you until now..."

Skully walks around Ashley.

"... did you know that i don't like people who get into the Academy without putting any effort to it? You better leave, girl."

Suddenly, Ashley starts talking. She speaks very cold.

"If i would you, Skully... i would leave him alone."

Skully laughs.

"Pfff, haha. Are you joking? What could YOU do to me, huh? You're a damn girl and you look stupid. It's not Halloween yet. Go away, god damn it, before you get a problem too."

Skully gets closer to Ashley, but Ashley doesn't look scared. She still looks into his eyes.

"Oh, we've got a brave one here, boys..." says Skully and tries to scare Ashley. Ashley still doesn't react. Skully pushes Ashley away.

"Go. Away."

"No."

"Hrmpf... alright... you're gonna regret that, you little bitch." he says and forms his right hand to a fist. Then he attacks Ashley. Ashley dodges his fist, then takes his arm and drags him down. After that, she kicks him into his face.

"Alright, now you're dead! Boys, kill that little bitch already!" he screams to his group. Skullys group leaves See More alone and attacks Ashley. The group runs to Ashley, but Ashley can jump over them and is able to kick someone into his back. She is surrounded by the group. Suddenly, someone want's to ram Ashley. Ashley dodges and watches how another group member gets rammed into the wall.

"Dude, not me! The girl, god damn it!" he screams. Ashley attacks the both group members at the wall. She forms her hand to a fist and punches the rammer in the face. When she hits him, a few violet Neon-Xenothium particles appear. The group member becomes unconscious. Ashley is impressed and looks at her fist.

"Woah, did i just knocked him out?!" she wonders. Suddenly, someone drags her hair, while another one is about to punch her in the face. Ashley can't escape, but she can dodge, and when the group member in front of her attacks, she dodges with her head, causing the group member to hit his mate. Then Ashley kicks the member in front of her into his soft parts.

"Ohhh my GOOOD, THAT HURTS LIKE HELL!" the member screams and sinks down.

"DUDE, SHES BEATING THESE RETARDS ALONE!" a student says impressed.

As the poor group member sinks down, she kicks him into his face. His nose starts to bleed and he moves away. The group member behind her starts punching into her belly, but Ashley takes his arm. Then she holds his arm as hard as she can, and suddenly his arm begins to pain horribly. The group member lets off of her hair, which makes Ashley able to attack him. As Ashley attacks, another one throws a chair at her. Ashley sees the flying chair and dodges. The chair hits the group member she was fighting with. Skully watches how his group is getting beaten up by one person. He stands up and tries to wake up the unconscious group member.

"WAKE THE HELL UP ALREADY!" he screams at the unconscious member, but nothing happens.

"Only three guys left!" the students say.

A HIVE soldier appears and want's to intervent. Suddenly, the second group member disarms the HIVE soldier, shoots him into his belly which causes a big wound and then aims at Ashley. Ashley sees how the group member aims at her. She runs to him. The group member starts shooting at her, but Ashley simply jumps around. The weapon gets a malfunction and starts shooting just like that. Ashley jumps into the air and kicks the group member in his head. A laser bullet hits the last standing group member besides Skully.

"AH! YOU SHOT ME, YOU FOOL..."

The group member who got shot sinks down and holds his wound. Ashley beats up the last group member besides Skully and makes him unconscious. Only Skully and Ashley are standing. Skully looks around and sees that everyone of his group members is either wounded, unconscious or fled. He looks at Ashley angry.

"Alright, enough is enough. You had your chance, but now im going to finish you off!"

"Then why don't come over here and try to beat me?"

"Damn witch, im gonna love this." he says and walks to Ashley. Ashley jumps over Skully, but he can drag her leg and lets her fall down. Then he takes up Ashley and throws her into the wall. He takes a few parts of the thrown, now destroyed chair and throws them at Ashley. Ashley sees how Skully is coming closer.

"You will die, you damn little bitch!"

Ashley tries to stand up, but then she remembers something.

"Try your damn luck!" she screams at him. Skully runs to her, but Ashley raises her arm in his direction. She concentrates and right in the moment when Skully jumps onto her, three violet hexes fly out of her hand and hit Skully. The hexes cause explosions and hurl him into the wall. Skully tries to stand up, but Ashley casts more hexes. Skully gets hit by every single hex, and is finally beaten.

"You know, we call scum like you damn witches! THIS IS MY ACADEMY, YOU UNDERSTAND!? MINE! I WON'T...!" screams Skully, but Ashley drags him up and punches him several times into his face till his nose is broken. He falls to the ground and looks up to Ashley.

"Tell... me your damn... name... so i know who i have to... kill... "

"You always insulted and bullied me, make me feel like i was a loser... but know that im going to be your greatest nightmare from now on..." she says and knees down to look into Skullys eyes again.

"Call me Jinx. The Wicked Witch. Or Ashley, if you prefer that." she says and smiles.

"Ashley, you fucki..." he says and then gets another kick into his face by Jinx.

Jinx turns around to the students.

"Jinx! Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!" the students shout out. See More stands up and walks slowly to Jinx.

"Th... thank you... you saved me from these animals..."

"No problem, See More. Are you alright?"

"Yeah... i just... need an doctor. He... he wanted... t-t.t... to kill me." he stutters and hugs Jinx.

"I know. But he won't harm anyone now."

See More still hugs Jinx.

"You can let off me now."

See More stops hugging her.

"Thanks again. I owe you one. If you ever need help from me, Billy or Wykkyd, just tell me."

Jinx smiles. Suddenly, Brother Blood appears. He got a cold look. He takes a closer look at what happened here.

"Can anyone tell me what happened here?" Brother Blood asks the Students and especially Jinx and See More.

"Ashley just beat up the hell out of Skully and his group!" a student answers. Brother Blood looks around. Then he sees Skully and he walks till he stands in front of him. Skully looks up and sees Brother Blood. Then Jinx walks to Brother Blood and stands next before him. They look at Skully down.

"Jinx... Ashl... this little... she beat me up... i..." Skully tries to explain.

"I can see that, Skully... Jinx, right?" he asks and turns his head to Jinx.

"Erm... yes."

"Good name..." he says and nods. He walks away.

"Get a few medics over here. A student did fantastic work." Brother Blood says into his communicator.

"You... will... pay for... this."

"I hope so, Skully. You should get some more people with you next time." she says and walks away. The students follow her. A few minutes later, medics arrive...

At the evening

Jinx walks back into her apartment after eating in the cafeteria with dozens of thankful students. The door is open. She walks in.

"Im back, guys." she says.

Gizmo and Mammoth are in the kitchen and when they see Jinx, they make an impressed face.

"Is it okay if we say you are one hell of a cool girl?" Gizmo asks.

"Did you really punched Skully in the face?!" Mammoth asks.

Jinx smiles.

"A few times, i guess..." *giggles*

"We've heard what happened from the other students. Man, i wish we could have seen that, you know?" Gizmo says.

"The students had their fun, and Skully wont attack anyone again so fast."

"Oh yeah, im pretty sure he wont." he says.

"Anyway, i gotta sleep, im pretty tired. Good night, boys." she says to Gizmo and Mammoth.

"Night." they say...

Three years later...

During the next three years, Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth get to their last school year of the Junior HIVE Academy. Skully got punished by Brother Blood and is now working as a refuse collector with his friends. Jinx decides to finally leave the Academy and take a look what happened during her presence in the HIVE Academy.

She walks to the hangar and takes the next transport gunship to Jump City. A few hours later, the gunship opens it's windows, making it able to look down to the City, and it changed drastically. There is no clear lower and upper town and the buildings of Jump City went bigger and more pretty. In the far distance, Jinx can see the Titans Tower. The ACE Chemicals headquarter added a few more wings at the left and right side, and the industrial district looks better than ever, and more clean. When the gunship lands, Jinx leaves it and finds herself in a little, covered outpost of the HIVE Academy near the industrial district.

"It's 1 PM now... at that time, Amelia and i always had free. I wonder if she got to the big Murakami High School... i'll guess i can try it." she thinks and starts walking. She removes her hairbands so that she doesn't look too weird. Fifteen minutes later she arrives in the streets of Jump City. There is something going on everywhere. People are talking, cars drive through the streets, stores are well visited and the vibe is really good in the town. She is wondering that she doesn't look weird. The weather gets bad though.

"Wow... no one thinks i look like crazy. Seems like the people doesn't mind anymore how you look like. Thanks, Titans, i guess..." she thinks. Five minutes later she arrives at the Murakami High School. She walks into the school and takes a look. Students are everywhere. It seems like she arrived at break time.

"Woah... every school is nothing compared with the HIVE Academy. I feel like the HIVE Academy is twenty times bigger than this High School. Pretty crazy..." she thinks. Jinx walks through the halls of the Academy and looks after bigger students who might know Amelia. When she finds one, she starts speaking, but it's too loud to hear anyone. There are just too many people. Instead, she decides to walk to the secretariat. She asks a student who just walks down the stairs.

"Excuse me? Where can i find the secretariat?" Jinx asks friendly.

"Oh, hey, just walk up the stairs and go left. Take the third door on your left then." the student says.

"Thank you!" she answers and walks up the stairs. While she walks to the secretariat, she hears from a few people who talk to each other that Amelia is indeed in the school, but also very infamous. Jinx arrives at the secretariat and knocks at the door three times.

"Come in!" she hears. Jinx opens the door and speaks with the secretary.

"Good day. What is it that leads you to our school?"

"Hello. I just wanted to ask if a "Amelia Crawford" visits your school. She is an old friend of mine and i just wanted to know where i could find her since we met each other ten years ago."

"I can take a look. Wait a second." the secretary says. The secretary takes a look at the computer and scrolls down, and indeed, Amelia is visiting the school.

"Well, you're lucky, she visits the school. She is in the ninth grade. You find the ninth grade at the other side of the school, it has a little garden. Maybe she is there." the secretary answers.

"Thank you. Have a nice day!" Jinx says and leaves the secretariat.

At the entrance hall she finds an sign. "Ninth & Tenth Grade" with a arrow. Jinx walks through the halls of the ninth and tenth graders till she finds the garden the secretary spoke of. Jinx finds a student who is listening to music and draws. She walks to her and speaks with her.

"Excuse me? Mind if i could ask you a little question?" Jinx asks. The student takes off the earphones.

"Of course."

"Do you know Amelia Crawford? I've heard she is pretty famous here. I'd like to talk with her."

"Infamous would be a better term, believe me. She is a real asshole to younger students. Normally she is in the corner on the other side of the garden and insults students with her clique. You better don't talk with her." the student answers.

"Hmm... don't worry, if something is wrong, i will fix it. Just you wait." Jinx says and walks to the corner, and indeed she sees a few girls which harass a little fifth grader. Suddenly, the fifth grade can flee.

"Stupid kids..." a girl from the group says.

"Amelia, it's cool. Maybe they will grow a brain, haha."

The girls laugh. Jinx can see Amelia laughing about the fifth grader. The fifth grade runs to Jinx and sees how Jinx is getting angry.

"Hey, wait, little boy." Jinx says. The fifth grader seems scared.

"Wh... who are you?!"

"Don't worry. I'll make them pay." Jinx says and walks over to Amelia and her group. Amelia and her group sees Jinx walking to them.

"Who the F are you?" one of the girls ask.

"The girl with the yellow hair. Is that Amelia?" Jinx asks, trying to not get angry.

"Yeah, and? Fuck off."

Jinx contract her eyebrows.

"What the hell happened to you? I can remember someone completely else when i look at you." she says. Amelia and her group starts laughing.

"Haha, what?"

The girls surround Jinx.

"We wanted to meet each other, but we couldn't because of... of an accident." Jinx explains.

"Wait... are... is that you, Ashley?"

"Amelia..."

Amelia runs to Ashley and hugs her, but Jinx looks cold and angry. She doesn't hug her.

"What happened to you? Where were you all the time? I was so scared i would never see you again!"

"I was scared too, you know?" Jinx says and takes a look around. "But obviously you stopped doing what we always wanted to do. We wanted to be heroes for the students, like Angels. The people you could ALWAYS trust."

"What are you talking about? Who cares about the others?!"

"I do."

"What? You are weird, Ashley, you know that? What happened that you look like you had an accident in chemistry class?!"

"Because I HAD an accident in chemistry class, you idiot!"

"What? Did you just call me an idiot?"

"Yes, you did understand me, Amelia. You better explain to me right now why you, as one of my best friends, became such an asshole to other people. Why did you insulted that fifth grader. He didn't do anything to harm you!"

"Hah!? What does it care you when my friends and i talk about some stupid idiots?"

"It cares a lot to me."

"Ashley, i feel like you aren't Ashley, but just another weirdo with a bad taste for fashion."

"Do i look like a normal girl? Do i look like Ashley?" Jinx asks angry. She walks to Amelia till she stands right in front of her, looking her deep in the eyes. Amelia is scared, and the girls don't know what to do.

"I left my Academy to meet my best friend. Just to see if at least you got to the High School. And do you want to know what i found?" she asks. A few girls of the group run to get help from a few boys.

"Wh... what...?" Amelia asks scared.

"I found you. A bitch who attacks little fifth graders. I knew someone who did that too when i was third grade. You know what i did to him? I almost killed him." Jinx threatens to Amelia. Amelia pushes Jinx away, and suddenly, two boys appear, holding Jinx's arms.

"You better watch out who you are talking with, Ash. Where were you? Ah... you know what, don't tell me, i bet it was a school for total idiots like you!"

"I was..."

Jinx kicks the two boys away...

"...from the..."

... and casts a hex on Amelia. Amelia gets hit by the hex and hurls into the wall behind her. She's bleeding. Jinx walks to her.

"...damn HIVE-Academy."

Jinx drags Amelia.

"I hoped you would be the old friend i always knew. The good hearted Amelia, which was an Angel for the other students. But i just found a bitch who doesn't care about anyone."

Jinx punches Amelia in the face several times, causing her nose to break. The boys attack Jinx, but Jinx dodges. Then she punches one of them in the face. She hit the boy so hard that he went unconscious. Amelia tries to run away, but Jinx prevents her from doing so.

The other boy drags a knife and tries to attack Jinx with it. Jinx dodges and vaporizes the knife with her mind. The boy gets scared and runs away. Then Jinx walks back to Amelia.

"Oh, now you're going to run, right?" Jinx asks angry. The people in the garden are scared and don't know what to do.

"What... was that... wha... what did you do to... me?" Amelia asks and looks at her bleeding shoulder. Jinx looks at Amelias shoulder.

"The Ashley you know is dead. She was dead the moment she saw you." Jinx says. She pushes Amelia away.

"And now you better hear me: Let the students alone and don't even think about harassing them. If i ever should find out you attack even one student, im going to find you. And then im not as nice as i am right now. Did i made myself clear enough, you bitch?" Jinx asks.

"I... i..." Amelia stutters.

"DID I MADE MYSELF CLEAR ENOUGH, AMELIA CRAWFORD?!" Jinx screams at her. Then she walks away.

"Yes! Yes, you did!" she says and starts crying. It starts raining.

"Ash..ley!" Amelia screams. Jinx turns her head to Amelia.

"I..im sorry."

Jinx doesn't answer and just walk away...

The evening...

Gizmo and Mammoth work in Gizmos room. They realize that they need a few screws. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. Mammoth walks out of Gizmos room and opens the door. It's Jinx. She doesn't look happy, in fact, she looks really cold and somehow sad.

"Wow... what happened, Jinx?"

"I... ugh... i need a break." she says quiet and walks into her room. She instantly closes the door. Gizmo walks out of his room.

"What's up with her?" Gizmo asks.

"I don't know. She walked in, said she need a break and then went into her room." Mammoth answers. They wait a few seconds, but nothing happens. Then they decide to walk back into their room...

During the night, Gizmo can hear something in Jinx's room.

"Ugh... what is wrong again?" he thinks and stands up. He walks out of his room. Then he goes to Jinx's door and listen. He can hear her sniffle. Gizmo knocks on the door. No answer. He waits a minute and knocks again.

"Go away." she says.

"Hey, it's me. I've heard something in your room. Is everything alright? Can i come in?" Gizmo asks.

"No."

Gizmo sighs. He walks to the kitchen and fills up some milk in a cup. Then he walks back to Jinx's door and decides to open it. When he opens the door, he can see Jinx sitting on her bed, looking down with her head. He sees a tear dropping down.

"Dude... what happened?" he asks and tries to look into her face.

"No...nothin... leave me alone."

*sigh* "You're crying. It's okay. Tell me. What happened?" he asks. Jinx doesnt answers. A few minutes passes by, then she suddenly starts speaking.

"I went to Jump City. I wanted to find an old friend of mine. Someone called Amelia. When i wasn't here in the Academy, she and i had one big dream: We always wanted to be like Angels for the other students. You know, the people you can always trust."

"And?"

"When i found her yesterday, she was completely different. She attacked a little fifth grader. That reminded me of us when we we're in third grade and Skully always harassed us. Then i found out she insults everyone."

"Did you talk with her?"

"Yes... i... i did more than that."

"What?"

"I... i've... she was insulting me and talked abo... about the other students... that she doesn't care anymore about them... and..."

"Wait here." Gizmo says and walks out. He wakes up Mammoth. Then both of them go back to Jinx, which is holding her hands on her face.

"Man... what happened?" Mammoth asks.

Mammoth and Gizmo sit down on Jinx's bed.

"... i just... i couldn't... i've almost kill, i, i... even with that much hate, she was a fri..." *starts crying*

"It's okay. You were angry."

"I... i was so angry... i couldn't even accept when... when she... said sorry."

Mammoth hugs Jinx. Gizmo thinks, then he suddenly walks out of the room.

"Hey, when the time is right we'll find her and then you can talk with her again."

Gizmo comes back ands hold a little box in his hands.

"Jinx, mind if you take a look?" he asks. Jinx looks at the box while tears drop down.

Gizmo opens the box. It's a little Amethyst stone in an Amulet.

"Is that...?"

"Well, yes, it's the Amulet you wanted last year for christmas. Mammoth and i went out to Jump City to get it while you were sick during holidays. We wanted to give you the Amulet for this year's christmas, but i guess it's better if we give it to you now." Gizmo explains and smiles. Jinx feels better though she still cries a little bit.

"Thanks, boys..."

"I'll put it on your table. You want us to stay here for a while?"

"No... i think it's good now. You can go back to sleep." she says. Mammoth and Gizmo walks out of the room.

"Good night" they say to her. She answers with "Good night" too. She looks at the Amulet for a while before she finally starts sleeping again.

Six months later christmas arrives, and of course also in the Academy. The mood got better, but a few months ago Jinx started to behave different. Gizmo and Mammoth watch her...

At the apartment

Gizmo and Mammoth make something to eat for evening. Then they hear how Jinx is doing something her room.

"What is she doing again?" Mammoth asks.

"I don't know, man. I don't mind though. Guess she's tidying up her room."

"Maybe a friend?"

"What the hell has a friend with tidying up the room to do?!"

"Yeah well, maybe she is looking for something.

"And who the hell should be her friend? She does have to be brave, these guys here in the Academy are weird. Well, we are weird too, so..." *starts laughing*

Mammoth smiles.

"Hehe, indeed. Wait. Did you just call me weird?"

"Erm... yep?" he says and smiles.

Mammoth makes a puzzled face.

"But for real now: You just have to take a look at how long relations hold in the Academy and you start vomiting too about that. Especially the dudes who think they could get everyone and then leave them three months later. Not even Skully is such an asshole. No one should break a girls heart, okay? That's not cool."

"I mean... he's not breaking hearts at least." Mammoth says.

"You... really? Did you just..."

"Hehehe."

"What did i do to deserve this?" Gizmo says quiet. Mammoth smiles.

"Anyway, you know that big stupid guy with that big gun and his white jacket? He always get's another girl after three months, but for some reason the people just don't mind. And if i estimated correctly, this week he leaves another girl."

"What a retard. For real now, this isn't cool. Im wondering why he's doing this." Mammoth says.

"I don't know. Im watching him for a few years already and even thought about telling it Brother Blood, but i guess he won't bother."

"Yeah, probably."

"That dude got a system, man. A real system when to leave a girl and get another one."

Suddenly, the door of Jinx's room opens.

"Hey boys, im away for the rest of the evening. Please don't lock up the door. See ya!" she says and walks out of the room.

"See you!" they say.

A few minutes later...

"I really feel like someth... oh wait!"

"What?!" Mammoth asks.

"I forgot my little drone device in the cafeteria."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Well then, let's get it before the cafeteria is locked up."

Mammoth and Gizmo walk out of the apartment.

During christmas the students are much nicer to each other. Jinx meets See More, Kyd Wykkyd and Billy Numerous in the entrance hall. Kyd Wykkyd talks to her. His voice is very calm.

"Merry Christmas, J!"

"Hey boys. What are you doing here?" Jinx asks. See More answers.

"We go to the christmas store in the hangar and get some things for our apartment. Wykkyd wants to get his horror movies, Billy some new video games and i just take a look around, maybe get a few books or something."

"Mammoth, Gizmo and i have to visit the store too. We'll do that tomorrow."

"We make sure to leave something for you guys." he answers and laughs. Then Billy talks.

"But we'll take the video games, okay?!" he says. Jinx smiles.

"Yeah, yeah, the video games, just take them." she says and giggles.

"So, what brings you here to the entrance hall?" Wykkyd asks curious.

"I just wanted to talk with a certain person about a little project for class."

"Who?"

"Ah, you don't know him."

"Oh well... make sure to introduce him to us, hehe." Wykkyd says.

"I will!" she says. Then Wykkyd, See More and Billy walk away.

"Pheww..." Jinx thinks. Then she continues walking. She takes the elevator to the upper Arboretums of the Academy. Then she walks through a hall and finally finds the Arboretum she was looking for. The door she searches for is one floor higher. Jinx walks up the stairs and then knocks on a door. A boy with a blue winter jacket opens the door.

"Hey sweetie." the boy says.

"Happy to see you, Kid Kold!" Jinx says and hugs him.

"So sorry that i wasn't able to be here sooner, had to tidy my room. So, you wanted to visit the cinema?"

"Oh yes, indeed! I bet you gonna love it!" Kid Kold says and laughs.

"Im pretty curious already." she answers. Kid Kold leaves his apartment and closes the door. Both of them walk through the whole academy in order to get to the hangar and take a flight to Jump City.

"Kid, you were interested in volcanism, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You know that i have to visit every week the experimental area. They have a big gate which is guarded by several HIVE elite soldiers. They guard a freak'n volcano! There is lava everywhere, but it isn't hot or something."

"A volcano?! I always say it, these guys are crazy as hell. Im gonna leave the academy anyway, it's just to stupid for me to be here. Im not in the mood for people who like to go on my nerves, you know."

"I'll go with you." Jinx says.

"I would have wondered if you wouldn't." he says. They arrive in the entrance hall. Mammoth and Gizmo are in the entrance hall as well. Then Mammoth sees Jinx and Kid Kold. He talks to Gizmo.

"Isn't that the guy you talked about a few minutes ago? The dude who walks with Jinx." Mammoth says.

"Are you saying that... oh c'mon."

"Well, both of them walk together. Seems like they want to visit the hangar."

Jinx and Kid Kold take the elevator to the hangars.

"Mammoth? Why does Jinx don't know anything? And if yes, why is she walking with him?"

"I don't know?" Mammoth asks. Gizmo watches Jinx and Kid Kold, then he walks to the stairs.

"Ah, damn it, i don't need a meal today. Let's follow Jinx, i feel like this is going to end bad if we don't do anything."

Mammoth nods. Gizmo and Mammoth follow Jinx and Kid Kold to the hangars. They see how the pair takes the next transporter. Both students try to get to Jinx as fast as they can, but they aren't fast enough and have to see how the pair flies away.

"This isn't good. We'll have to get the next transporter as soon as possible!" Gizmo says...

Since the HIVE is always researching to make their equipment better, the gunships got new hover platforms and a new engine, which make them faster. Instead of two hours of flying to Jump City became a matter of a few minutes.

At the outpost, 15 minutes later...

Jinx and Kid Kold leave the gunship and walk to Jump City. The gunship flies back to the Academy two minutes later.

"Don't you want to say Good Bye when leaving the Academy?"

"Yeah, and i already thought of something cool. It's gonna be fun, at least for me. You will see what i mean."

"Okay?"

"Don't worry, i'll show it to you later. It's gonna be... exceptional!"

Jinx nods. Snow falls and everywhere in the city are the lights on. In the distance you can hear christmas themed music. There aren't as much cars as usually and the people on the streets wear winter jackets. Jinx wears a black winter jacket with violet stripes. A few minutes later, Gizmo and Mammoth arrive with another transporter and run down to the city, though they don't know where to search for Jinx. Gizmo talks to Mammoth.

"Hear me out, i don't want to act like an idiot but we'll have to make sure JInx leaves that guy. We'll make that guy talk, and if he don't, we're going to show Jinx that he is definetly a imposter."

"Sounds like a plan. And... how do we find them?"

"Well... i didn't thought about that to be honest."

"Oh good. Well then, we'll better hurry up!"

Both students run down to the city.

Five minutes later...

Kid Kold and Jinx arrive at the cinema, then he talks to her.

"Im gonna let you decide which movie we're watching."

"Are you sure? I mean..."

"Completely sure."

"Okay."

Jinx looks at the movie posters and thinks. Kid Kold looks impatient, but Jinx is too focused on the posters to notice that. Gizmo and Mammoth are in the city and look around. Then Gizmo takes out a prototype device.

"What are you doing?" Mammoth asks.

"I've manipulated Jinx's and your communicator and added a tracking device. If we're lucky my little friend shows us where she is, IF she took the communicator with her. If not, well, the communicator will explode. In both cases we will know where she is."

"And you're sure that nothing will happen?"

"No."

Mammoth swallows. Gizmo presses a little button on the device. A few seconds later you can hear little sound and signals on the monitor.

"Oh, it worked. She's at the next corner. Let's go!"

Gizmo and Mammoth run to her. Jinx notices something is wrong with her communicator, and when she takes him out of her little bag, she is confused because there is nothing suspicious to see.

"Weird..."

She puts the communicator away. When she turns around to Kid Kold, he speaks with another girl.

"Kid, how about a horror movie?" Jinx asks.

Kid Kold looks at Jinx and has to smile. Then he suddenly starts laughing, but she doesn't know why.

"You know, Lucky, i've just thought about something really funny."

"Like what?"

"About what i told you a few minutes ago. That "Surprise. You want to see it now?"

"Erm... sure, why not?"

"Good. Just close your eyes."

Jinx closes her eyes. Gizmo and Mammoth arrive at the cinema and see Kid Kold holding a water balloon.

"Is that a water balloon!?" Mammoth asks.

Kid Kold uses a little needle to destroy the balloon above Jinx's head. The water releases and falls down on Jinx, which is fatal combined with the low temperature. Jinx jumps up when she feels the water on her skin, and if this wasn't enough, Kid Kold takes out a Ice grenade and throws it on Jinx, which paralyzes her. Kid Kold is laughing, while Jinx can't move due to the grenade. Gizmo and Mammoth run to both of them, and especially Gizmo is really angry.

*laughs* "THIS is what i meant! What's up, Lucky? Why that cold face, huh?" he asks and smiles. Jinx can't answer.

"You know, you're not my kind of girl, hence why im just gonna leave you here in the open. Don't worry, just wait two hours and then you can walk..."

Suddenly, a little rocket flies to Kid Kold and hits him. He falls down and then sees Gizmo and Mammoth running to him.

"Hey, you damn retard! How did you liked that?!" Gizmo screams to Kid Kold.

"Oh, seems like you're idiotic friends came with us. Time to leave. Have a nice day, Lucky!" he says. Then he laughs and runs away. Kid Kold takes his gun from his back and starts shooting at Gizmo, while Mammoth is trying to free Jinx.

"Alright, Jinx, hold out, im going to help you!" Mammoth says.

Gizmo is flying with his jetpack and attacks Kid Kold. He dodges his attacks and fires another rocket at him, but Kid Kold is able to hit the rocket with a shot from his cryo rifle and makes the rocket fall down.

"So you like to destroy girl's hearts, right?!" Gizmo screams to him.

"Nice and fun challenge, you know, little dwarf?" Kid Kold answers. Kid Kold jumps on the roof of a car and climbs up on the balcony of a house. Gizmo fires another rocket and hits the house. Kid Kold however is able to flee in the last moment through making a little ice platform he can jump on. Then he shoots on Gizmo, but again, no hit. Kid Kold is climbing up till he gets to the roof of a house. Gizmo fires another rocket and hits Kid Kold. Kid Kold falls down in an alley. Gizmo takes a look at the alley from above, but Kid Kold was able to run away.

"God. Damn. It. He got away... ffff..." he thinks and flies back to Jinx.

When Gizmo arrives at the cinema, he finds Mammoth holding an unconcious Jinx in his arms.

"Oh, damnit, that's not good. We'll have to get back to the academy as soon as possible!" Gizmo says.

Mammoth runs with Gizmo to the outpost, and after a few local medics help Jinx stabilizing her, they fly back to the academy...

Two weeks later...

Gizmo and Mammoth notice that Jinx almost stopped talking. She makes an focused, but cold and a little bit terrifying look when she walks through the halls of the academy. A few students - especially the class mates - don't want to bother her. Mammoth watches her and talks with Gizmo. Jinx can hear them.

"You think this is gonna end?" Mammoth asks.

"I don't know. This is going on for two weeks already."

"Jinx?" Gizmo asks.

Jinx looks at them but doesn't answer.

"You wanted to watch the horror movie with us...?"

Jinx nods.

"Erm... when shall we watch the movie?"

Jinx shrugs with her shoulders.

"Hmm..."

"It's cool Mammoth. She needs a rest."

Jinx sighs...

More weeks pass by, but her mood didn't got better. While Gizmo and Mammoth are in a good mood, Jinx still makes a cold look. She doesn't talk a lot anymore. However, it doesn't make them unable to become the best students of the Academy during that time. One year later, in the last school year, they are ordered to Brother Bloods office. They use the stairs to go up.

"So what do you guys think Brother Blood want's from us?" Mammoth asks.

"I don't know, i guess it's again something like "Please, can you try some of my new weapons, my HIVE soldiers are way too stupid for them." Gizmo says.

Jinx doesn't answer. They arrive at Brother Bloods office, and the guards open the door. Brother Blood sits on his chair.

"Hello. Sit down."

The three students sit down at the big table.

"You know that you are the best student's the Academy ever saw. Because of that i will give you a task, which will takes everything from you. I don't expect you to fulfill this task, but i expect you to prove yourself in a real fight." Brother Blood says. Then he walks around them.

"Do you know a man called "Slade?"

"Yes. That's the famous mercenary." Mammoth says.

"Exactly. Slade is a good friend of mine and he fulfilled several assignments for us. Two days ago i received a message from him. He is in Jump City because of an personal mission, and he want's to eliminate the Teen Titans. A risky plan if you ask me, but he wanted to know if we have some people who could take on with the Titans. Since i know my soldiers are too weak for this, i chose you. You will get additional information about the Titans soon. I guarantee you that if you should fail at finishing this task, we will bring you back to the Academy safe. The Titans won't get you. But before going to Slade, you have to show him that you are worth his attention. Go to the gym and wait till i arrive so we can start immediatly. Dismissed."

Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth leave Brother Bloods office.

"Erm... and... wow, this is pretty heavy stuff right now. Damn, we're working for Slade, guys! That mercenary is freaking terrifying, even Jinx will be scared!" Gizmo says.

Jinx frowns.

"Believe me you never saw that guy, but the way he looks like... and his voice... and his weird headquarter..." Gizmo says.

"What he says!" Mammoth adds.

Jinx smiles.

"Why the hell are you smiling?" Gizmo asks Jinx.

"Causing some bad luck when we take out these Titans..." she says quiet...

At this moment everything that happens in "Final Exam" is happening here as well. Instead of getting imprisoned by the Titans, they are able to flee with the help of an teleporter they received by Brother Blood. Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth get teleported back to the entrance hall of the HIVE Academy. Ashamed they walk back into Brother Bloods office. The HIVE headmistress is talking with Brother Blood when they arrive.

"No, this is inacceptable!" the headmistress says to Brother Blood. Brother Blood notices the presence of his three students.

"Hello students." Brother Blood says. The headmistress seems very angry, but doesn't say a word.

"Im pretty surprised about how you were able to beat the Titans in a fight. I am going to be honest: If someone would have asked me if you three would be able to beat the Titans in a fight, i would have said no. You taught me that it would be different. Im very proud of you.

All of the three students look very surprised.

"But we failed?" Gizmo says.

"Yes, you did. But you proved that you were able to beat the Titans in..."

The HIVE headmistress screams at them and looks at their leader, Jinx.

"Slade gave you ONE easy task and YOU weren't able to accomplish it. You will get punished for this! You can't imagine how much shame you brought over the HIVE Academy!"

Brother Blood tries to stop her but she still screams at them. Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth look at the headmistress angry.

"Oh really, i don't mind." Jinx says.

"You don't mind? Alright, i am going to make the council choose you as an test subject for the experimental area, and i am going to..."

Brother Blood stands up from his chair.

"... choose which experiment is going to be the most painful for you. And then nobody... ARGH!"

Suddenly, the eyes of the HIVE headmistress become totally red. She turns her head to Brother Blood, who is very angry.

"I've noticed several times you are making a bad, bad job, headmistress. I've heard from several colleagues that you aren't able to keep your temperament for yourself. And now you prove it to me. YOU really think you could threaten my students? You really want to degrade the best students of the HIVE Academy to test subjects?!"

Brother Blood breathes for air, and you can feel that his words are full of fury.

"You just shown me that you are the wrong person for this job. You aren't even able to stay neutral when students fail during a task. Soldiers!"

Two HIVE soldiers walk into the room.

"The HIVE headmistress just said she wanted to become a test subject for the experimental area. Would you be so kind and lead her to the next test chamber for "Military Sciences? Let's see how much plasma shots we need to make her become quiet."

Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth get goosebumps when they heard "plasma shots." The guards lead the headmistress to the experimental area. Brother Blood calms down.

"Pardon my words, i didn't intend to scare you. But i didn't want you to feel bad because an incompetent person wasn't able to hold it's temperament."

Brother Blood sits down and fills a cup with water. Then he drinks a little bit and continues talking.

"Anyway, you prove me that you are my best students. Of course, it's disappointing that you failed to hold the tower, but the fact that you beat the Titans and conquered their tower is enough for me and for Slade. Im pretty sure about that. For this reason, you can participate in Council meetings and, what might be more important, if you wish to we will send you a few HIVE soldiers to your apartment which will give you the meal you wish to. Believe me, it's great." he says and laughs.

"Also, Gizmo and Mammoth, you both can visit the experimental area as well if you wish to. That's everything. You can go now." Brother Blood says. The three students leave the room, but suddenly, Brother Blood talks to Jinx.

"Jinx? Can i talk with you in private for a moment?"

Jinx walks to Brother Blood.

"There is something i have to tell you."

"Yes?"

"When the time is right, i will ask you to trust me, no matter what you should think of me in that very moment. What i am going to say is probably going to be very important for you."

"What is it about?"

"I... i can't tell you. You're not ready for it. Soon. Good night, Jinx."

"Good night." she says and leaves the room confused...

A few more weeks pass by. The people in the Academy are wondering where the headmistress is, but only Brother Blood, the three students and the HIVE soldiers and scientists know what happened to her. Brother Blood is shocked about the Titans defeating Slade. The three students however get another task by Brother Blood, where they have to rob the Perez Bank of Jump City. And as already known, they get defeated by the Titans, while the Titans find out the location of the Academy. Three more days pass by.

Gizmo works with Mammoth on a little robot. Gizmo is searching for the right hardware, while Mammoth tries to figure out what the little robot can do.

"So... what will the robot do when he's done?"

"When the robot is done he will clean up our rooms. And then, we finally don't have to use the brooms anymore!"

"And when the doors are closed?"

"Then he has to open them?"

"But he doesn't have hands. How should he get them open?"

"Well... he could... maybe ram them, or... erm..."

Mammoth smiles.

"Okay, maybe i need a few more parts." Gizmos whispers to himself.

Jinx walks out of the experimental area and arrives the entrance hall, where she waits for Gizmo and Mammoth. Ten minutes later, the bell rings and students go to the cafeteria. Jinx looks around and sees her friends walking to her.

"There you are." she says.

"Hey. Man, you look pretty happy today."

"Kinda. Not as bad as usual today."

"Let's get some food!" Mammoth says.

When they are about to go to the table they always sit at, they see a big student with tanktop and muscles like Mammoth. Mammoth is impressed.

"Who the hell is that?" Gizmo asks the other two.

"He looks like me." Mammoth says.

Jinx walks to him. Gizmo and Mammoth follow her.

After a few problems arriving at the Academy, the new student, Stone - and therefore Cyborg - settles down in the Academy and gets an apartment for two persons next to the apartment Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth live in. Cyborg befriends with the three. The three students visit Cyborg sometimes, especially Jinx. A few days later someone knocks at Cyborgs door, and when he opens the door, he find Jinx.

"Jinx?"

"Hey Stone. Mind if i walk in?" she asks.

"Of course, come in."

Jinx walks into Cyborgs apartment.

"So i wanted to ask you something..."

"Really? What?"

"Every year is a prom in the Academy for the students which leave the Academy this year. I... well... i wanted to ask you if you would go with me."

"Hmm... well... you don't even know if i can dance."

"Don't worry, im not good in dancing either, so whatever." she says and giggles. Cyborg laughs.

"Well then, sure, why not? Sounds fun if you ask me."

"Really?"

"Sure, better than sitting around in the apartment." he smiles. Jinx jumps up because of that.

"Cool! Well... erm, if you don't have a suit you have to visit the tailor in the hangar. The prom starts tomorrow, meet me at the entrance hall then." she says and leaves his room.

Cyborg sighs.

"I shouldn't do that. Im not here for dancing, im here for infiltrating..."

The next day, at the evening...

The entrance hall is empty, but the cafeteria is full of students. You can hear music. Jinx - in a violet ball dress - waits for Stone. Two minutes later he arrives.

"Oh hey, there you are!" Jinx says happy.

"I couldn't let you wait." Cyborg answers.

Jinx and Cyborg walk into the cafeteria. The tables and chairs were moved into another room and a lot of students are dancing. Even a disco ball hangs on the ceiling. A few HIVE soldiers act as DJ's. Right now, "Crazzee Boi" of Sara Choi is running.

Jinx and Cyborg are both surprised how good the mood is. Behind the DJ's are a few teachers and of course, Brother Blood, who talk to each other right now. Jinx looks at them and is surprised when she sees Brother Blood is actually in a really good mood.

"Woah. Even Brother Blood is in a good mood."

"Even?"

"He always looks serious, you know? Well, sometimes he also tells a joke." she says. Cyborg laughs.

"Well, you like to dance then?" Cyborg asks.

"Of course!" Jinx answers.

Jinx and Cyborg walk onto the platform and start dancing. Even though they aren't that good in dancing, they make a lot of decent moves and it's clearly to see that they have fun. A lot of the students watch them dancing, and Brother Blood even smiles when watching them. In the background, See More and Kyd Wykkyd talk to each other.

"Well, you wanted to dance with Jinx..." See More says.

Wykkyd nods.

"Why didn't you ask her?"

"I don't know, maybe i was just lazy or something..."

"Don't worry. You can always ask her. Seems like she likes dancing."

"Yeah... *sighs*"

"I wonder where Billy is."

Suddenly, the door is kicked open and Billy runs to the platform while screaming.

"AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH HELP!" he screams.

"There he is." Wykkyd answers.

The students look at Billy who looks pretty scared. Then Billy falls down on the ground and looks up to Cyborg and Jinx.

"Oh, THERE YOU ARE! Erm... Jinx?"

"Erm... Billy?" she asks.

"I should tell you from Skully that you got a problem."

"Why?"

Skullys Group walks into the cafeteria. Most of the students continue dancing, but Jinx, See More, Kyd Wykkyd, Billy and Cyborg can see Skully getting closer to them.

"Seems like we're going to have a fight." See More says.

Skully walks through the students and finds Jinx. He screams after her.

"The Wicked Witch! There you are!" Skully says angry.

"Who is that?" Cyborg asks Jinx.

"Someone who doesn't like me." Jinx answers.

"Oh you think you're funny am i right? You destroyed my image in the Academy! Now i look like a total loser!"

"Only a loser?"

Skully walks to Jinx and forms his hand to a fist, then he attacks her. Jinx dodges. Cyborg, Kyd Wykkyd and See More attack his group. A few HIVE soldiers notice the fight and go to Brother Blood.

"Commander, a few students are fighting. Any orders?"

Brother Blood watches the students fighting.

"I want you to clear the floor until only the fighting students are left."

"What?" a teacher asks.

"You heard me. Clear the floor."

"Understood."

A group of soldiers walk to the floor and clear the floor, while the students are fighting. Gizmo and Mammoth realize that there is a fight going on, and they start attacking the group as well. Jinx knows that she shouldn't use hexes while the students are present, hence why she has to fight with her fists. When Skully tries to kick Jinx, she dodges again and jumps over him. Then she kicks him into his back. Skully takes a few steps back and then tries to ram her. Jinx jumps away. Cyborg hits Skully in the face, causing him to fall down. Then he gets attacked by another group member. However, Kyd Wykkyd helps him.

"Thanks.. erm...?"

"The name's Wykkyd!"

Gizmo throws are glue grenade on the floor to make the enemy he's fighting with unable to move, in which he succeeds. Mammoth takes up the group member and throws him to another one. Both of the members lie down on the floor. Billys is cloning himself and then overwhelm both of them, so they couldn't stand up anymore. See More tries to attack another group member, but since he can't fight, he can't do much. Wykkyd teleports to Jinx to help her fighting against Skully. Skully however is fully focused on beating Jinx. He's able to take Jinx's arm before she can dodge him. He tries to break the arm, but suddenly, Wykkyd appears on his left side and attacks him. Skully let's off and falls down. Jinx attacks Skully, but he kicks the Witch away and attacks Wykkyd. Wykkyd tries to teleport away, but is taken by Skully. Skully tries to choke Wykkyd, while the other group members of Skully get beaten up.

"Wait! Don't do him anything, Skully!" Jinx begs.

"Oh, now you are scared, huh?!" he says and presses more. Wykkyd can't do anything, not even teleport.

"Let him off!" she says and raises her arm.

"No chance, little bitch!"

See More approaches from behind and attacks Skully. Skully presses harder on Wykkyds throat but is stopped by See More who prevents him from killing Wykkyd. However, Wykkyd gets kicked in the back by Skully, then falls down and is breathing for air, while See More is able to let Skully fall down. Jinx runs to Wykkyd, while See More punches Skully in the face.

"You damn stupid moron, when im done with you i..." See More says and repeatedly punches Skully in the face. Skully punches back, hitting See Mores Eye, which desorientates him. See More stands up and can't see a lot but Skully who stands up.

Jinx however is trying to help Wykkyd.

"Is everything okay!? Wykkyd?!" she asks concerned. Wykkyd is trying to say something but she can see that his throat looks extremely red.

"Damn. I'll get you out of here, the medics will help you!" Jinx says and helps Wykkyd. Wykkyd nods and tries to breath air. Skully attacks See More and is so brutal that it could kill See More.

"Im going to let him pay for this, Wykkyd. You better walk to the soldiers."

Wykkyd nods and walks to the soldiers.

"Hey, Skully, you idiot!"

Skully looks at Jinx.

"You came to beat me, not See More!" she says.

Skully is angry.

"Oh yeah, that's right! So you even want to get a broken nose, huh?!"

"Try it!" she says. Skully runs to Jinx and suddenly draws a knife. Jinx takes a look around, then suddenly raises her arm.

"Good night, asshole!" she screams to Skully and fires multiple hexes on him. Skully hurls several metres away, into the record player. The music stops. Skully get's an electric shock, while the DJ's are panicked. Skully stands up, though he clearly can't fight anymore, and takes a gun from the floor one of the DJ's lost. Jinx vaporizes his gun through her mind. Skully is confused and sees how Jinx is running to him. He tries to dodge but eventually gets punched really hard into his face by Jinx. Skully is almost unconscious and looks up to Jinx.

"Why... can't i kill... you?" he asks. Jinx kicks him into his face and makes him unconscious. The two remaining group members see the unconscious Skully and try to flee, but the HIVE soldiers stop them from doing so. Two medics help Wykkyd. Only Jinx, Cyborg, Mammoth, Gizmo, See More and Billy are left on the floor.

HIVE soldiers appear and secure the entrance to the cafeteria and take the unconscious people away. Brother Blood walks on the floor and starts talking.

"I didn't expect Skully to appear in the cafeteria today. Apologies. However, im very proud that these brave students were able to beat this intruder to prevent him causing more harm. I think that's worth an applaude." he says and starts applauding. The other students applaude as well...

The days passes by and the students talk about what happened that evening. After that, the Academy get's attacked by the Titans and of course, Jinx finds out that Stone is in truth Cyborg. They flee with Brother Blood from the Academy in an outpost inside the other mountain. The experimental area however sustains...

After a short flight, Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth and Brother Blood leave a gunship which was able to flee. Students, soldiers and teachers are everywhere when they arrive. They can also see See More, Kyd Wykkyd and Billy. Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth walk to them, while Jinx is sitting down on a near bench.

"Hey guys, are you okay?" Mammoth asks.

"Kinda. Billy and i are fine, but Wykkyd can't talk anymore. The Titans destroyed the equipment he needed to talk. It was in the hospital and today the medics would have helped him getting back his voice."

"Wow... that's really hard man." Gizmo says. Wykkyd shrugs with his shoulders.

Suddenly, Jinx destroys a table.

"Bad Luck. Bad Luck. Bad Luck. Bad Luck..." she whispers to herself angry.

"What the hell?!" Billy asks.

"Don't talk to her. She just found out Stone is Cyborg." Mammoth says.

Brother Blood appears and speaks to the six, while Private HIVE is next to him.

"Hello students. I want you all to come with me." he says. The students follow Brother Blood till they arrive in a little council room, where all teachers are. It seems like the table in the middle of the room got an holographic projector as well. Brother Blood sits down on his chair.

"Students. What happened a few minutes ago was... surprising. In case the HIVE Academy get's invaded by intruders, we built an outpost a few kilometres from Jump City away. The outpost itself isn't very hidden, but safe. Since the Academy got destroyed, the outpost has been activated and i want you all to be in there. This outpost is your new home and your headquarter. I give you one task in exchange for that..."

The projector starts. It's the HIVE-Tower.

"Destroy. The. Titans!"

SUDDENLY!

Jinx screams when she wakes up.

Presence, the Titans Tower of Jump City

"No! No! *breathes* NO! I can... i can't, i... i can't do this anymore." she says. Jinx stands up slowly. She looks out of the window and sees the Juvenile Correction Facility, the prison of Jump City. Kid Flash opens the door and talks to Jinx.

"I know. Happy birthday..."

"Th... thanks."

"Should i stay here? You were pretty loud."
