There were two girls who were flying together with their books in their arms. Two boys were being jerks and one zapped a girl's butt with his heat vision. The girl did not like that and froze them both instantly into human icicles. There was then a cheerleading squad which seemed to be all clones of one girl, and in fact, after one final move, they were in fact, just one girl cloning herself.
"Cool." Vincent said.
As they walked along, there came a chubby bully boy who zipped over to them and spun around in numerous circles to make them dizzy and miserable on their first day of school.
"Hey, freshmen!" the boy smirked as another boy who stretched like elastic came to his side. "Your attention, please!"
"I'm Lash," the stretchy boy said. "This is, uh, Speed. As representatives of the Sky High Welcoming Committee-"
"We'd be happy to collect that $15 as the new student fee." the chubby boy folded his arms with a smirk as his friend stretched out his arm, expecting to be given money.
"Not happening." Akito said, already knowing that there wasn't any new student fee.
"Okay, guys, very funny," a black-haired girl in pink walked over. "I'll take over from here."
The two bullies glared to her, but they walked away.
"Hey, everybody, I'm Gwen Grayson; your student body president," the girl introduced herself to the newbies. "And smart move in catching on what Lash ad Speed were trying to do newbie."
"Hey, no problem," Akito smiled. "I studied the handbook day and night."
"I knew something was off." the nerdy boy agreed with him.
"I know you're all going to love it here at Sky High," Gwen smiled to them. "I know I have... I've just had the greatest experience..."
Will stared to Gwen and he seemed to be in another world as she greeted and welcomed them all to the school. Vincent saw that look in Will's eyes and could tell that he was falling in love.
Gwen then started to explain about rules that needed to be followed in this school. "If you can just remember those few simple rules, I promise you will not fall off the edge of the school."
The others laughed to that since it was kind of an inside joke.
"Follow me inside for orientation." Gwen led the way.
"Rules?" Will cluelessly asked. "What rules?"
"Seriously?" Estelle asked.
"Weren't you paying attention?" Layla frowned to him.
The students were being led into the gym for their freshman orientation.
'Just like back in my universe.' Akito thought to himself.
The students whispered amongst themselves as they wondered what was going to happen in this school.
"Gwen Grayson..." Felicity said to herself. "I wonder if she knows Robin from the Teen Titans... Maman told me that Robin's real name was Dick Grayson."
"Maybe." Estelle shrugged.
"Good question though." Vincent had to agree.
A glowing white light came in.
"GHOST BALL!" the Fudo siblings and Felicity panicked due to past experiences. But they were wrong as the ball of light showed that it was actually the principal of the school.
"Good morning," the woman smiled warmly. "I am Principal Powers. On behalf of all the faculty and staff, welcome to Sky High."
"YEAH!" Will's friend named Zach cheered, but he was the only one really pumped while the others stared at him awkwardly.
Principal Powers glanced at him, then continued her welcoming speech. "In a few moments, you will go through Power Placement and your own heroic journey will begin."
'Yep, just like back in Superhero Academy in my universe.' Akito thought to himself.
"Power Placement?" Will wondered.
"Sounds fascist." Layla pouted.
"Power Placement: It's how they decide where you go." the nerdy boy explained.
"The hero track or loser track." Magenta added in.
"Which means the more impressive your power/powers are/is, you get placed in as a hero and the least impressive power/powers gets you placed as a sidekick." Akito added.
"There's a loser track?" Vincent asked.
"I believe the preferred term is 'Hero Support'." the nerdy boy said.
"For now, good deeds and good luck, let the adventure begin," Principal Powers concluded. "Comets away!" she then turned into a white ball again and flew out of the gym.
"Now that's what I call an exit." Vincent smiled.
Coach Boomer then appeared and went over the same speech he did when Akito first joined the Superhero Academy, so he mostly tuned the speech out until it was time for the students to show off their powers for him to see if they were heroes or sidekicks. After the speech was done; it was now time for Power Placement.
Akito raised his hand.
"Ah, Akito Fudo..." Coach Boomer smiled to the boy. "I'm a fan of your father."
Akito smiled shyly. "I don't mean to show-off, but mind if I go first?"
"Not at all." Coach Boomer said.
"Show 'em all your powers." Estelle whispered to her twin brother.
Akito nodded and he went to step up next to the Sky High gym coach.
"Now, what powers do you have from your parents?" Coach Boomer asked.
"Oh, you are in for a treat." Akito chuckled.
"Alright then, we'll start out with Super Strength," Coach Boomer said before bringing out remote control. "Car."
A car then fell down and Akito smirked before yawning and he then held out one hand and caught the car with just that and not needing both his hands. Everyone was blown away by this as well with the rest of his powers.
"So?" Akito asked.
"Well, no question about it," Coach Boomer sounded proud. "Hero!" he then glared to the other students. "All right, show me what you all got then if you think you can top that."
Felicity used her unholy strength, but it wasn't enough to lift a car, so she became a sidekick, Vincent showed his Earth-Bending powers which made him a hero and Estelle then tested out her Brain Blast to use against one of the cockier students who got on her nerves. And where she even used it against one of the walls to show how strong hers was.
"Not bad for a girl Fudo." Coach Boomer said.
"So...?" Estelle pleaded. "I'm a hero like my brothers?"
"Sidekick." Coach Boomer replied.
"A SIDEKICK?!" Estelle sounded enraged. "That's my destiny?!"
"That's my decision." Coach Boomer said.
Estelle pouted and climbed down from the platform. "I'd show you a sidekick if Lexi Bunny were here."
Larry came up and he surprised everybody with a super rock transformation and he was able to lift a car with his two hands. Zach wanted to show off his power, but he didn't seem to have any since he went up next and nothing had happened. The nerdy boy from the bus showed that he could melt into a pile of goo. One boy grew four extra arms like a spider.
A girl did a jump with a spin around and turned into a beach ball. One boy just spit against the wall which was pathetic and disgusting, until he then showed it was acid spit which burned up the wall. One boy had shape-shifting abilities and became a copy of Coach Boomer. Magenta went next, but she merely turned into a guinea pig which seemed to be her only ability. Layla was then called next, but she hesitated.
"Don't worry, just show them what you can do." Estelle said.
"Flower Child, let's go!" Coach Boomer called to him.
"Uh, I believe in only using my powers when the situation demands it," Layla explained.
"Well, you're in luck," Coach Boomer replied. "This is the situation and I'm demanding it."
"You don't have to do any damage; show him your power." Vincent said.
"But to participate in this test would be to support a flawed system," Layla explained. "The whole hero-sidekick dichotomy only serves to-"
"Let me get this straight," Coach Boomer held up his hand to shut her up. "Are you refusing to show me your powers?"
"It's just more complicated than that..." Layla tried to explain.
"SIDEKICK!" Coach Boomer yelled.
The school bell soon rang.
"All right, we'll pick it up after lunch," Coach Boomer decided since they had to take a break now. "Starting with you..." he then firmly pointed to Will who in return looked rather anxious about his turn.
"You're gonna nail it, Will." Vincent said.
"I guess so..." Will still sounded nervous.
