A/N So Maybe this will be longer than expected. I think at 50k or 60k I will rethink how much I really want to do. I will also try for 5k chapters, but at a longer upload time. I do need a Beta Reader and someone to help with more descriptive environments and grammar checks. Otherwise Enjoy!

A couple hours after the Airport

Miia was desperately trying to take the entire AC unit that was in bus, while everyone else suffered in the 125 F humid bus, even with the windows open. Kimi and Ms Smith were close to passing out to the heat while Tony was not far behind. Lala had it the worst, due to her "Cursed Death Armor" (or something along those lines, Tony didn't care that much) she passed out about 45 minutes ago,with Smith having to strip her to the underwear and t-shirt she had on under all the armor.

"Miia I swear to every deity that exists, if you don't move and at least let the AC cool this bus I will personally do the paperwork to get you deported." Smith said with such venom that it would kill in close proximity.

Miia started whining "I'm cold-blooded. I need to maintain a certain body temperature otherwise I will pass out or die"

"And we are warm-blooded and will die if we don't get some AC."

Miia continued to whine against Smith, unsuccessfully. Meanwhile Tony was talking to Kimi, trying to not pass out.

"So Kimi, why did you decide to go to the school?"

Kimi pondered at that for a second, "There really was a couple of reasons; My parents forced me, Smith forced me and Miia forced me."

Tony sweat dropped during the entire time. "I did it on a $100 bet."

It was Kimi's turn to sweat. "So you went to the most prestigious school in the world... on a bet?"

"Yep, spent the Hundred on movies and Peach tea. ( i wonder if they have those in africa?)"

Kimi could barely understand Tony at all. It took him a solid year of studying to even feel confident to take the test and Tony did it on a whim. "What did you get on the entrance test?"

"86%."

Kimi was baffled at that. "I got a 80% if just so. How the hell did you get that?"

"Hhmm...The multiple choice helped me, the essay hurt me slightly. They even interviewed me." Tony said nonchalantly.

"You got interviewed?" Kimi questioned.

"Yeah didn't everyone?"

Miia caught attention at that and Kimi gave Tony a strange look.

"I didn't get interviewed." Kimi said

"I didn't either. I passed with an 80%, whitch was average for that test." Miia butted in. Even Smith had on a questioning face. "What did they ask you?"

"Not allowed to say, the people there made me sign into secrecy."

Smith was definitely going to do some digging into this once she got back to her office.

Many Hours later

"Wow that's a big school" Tony observed. The bus finally made it to the school, even though it was sundown. To say it was big was an understatement, it was easily bigger than any college campus in the states.

From the Sand Dune that the group stood on they could see a near overview of the school. It was circular in shape and closely resembled a target with walls separating the four areas. Tony could just make out tents and other small lean-to's on the outer ring, and a small apartment complex on the next level in.

The Last two rings were impressive; the near suburbia in the third ring, and the last building that had no business in the desert; a small skyscraper standing at around 200 ft.

(Quick note here imagine a smaller Burj Khalifa)

" Well Kiddys here's The School."

"Umm Ms. Smith I was wondering why does the school not have an actual name?" Tony questioned.

Smith put on an annoyed face, "The Principal never puts enough thought into what he does. So it's just High School for the Elite."

All other party members were confused and disappointed at the principal now. As they walked toward the school a shot was fired from the wall surrounding the school.

" INTRUDERS, IF YOU DO NOT TURN AROUND IMMEDIATELY LETHAL FORCE WILL BE USED!"

The incoming students were very concerned. Smith was still calm and collected. She yelled "WILLIAMS IF YOU PULL THAT SHIT AGAIN I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE YOU ARE PUT BACK INTO THE WAR AGAINST MYSELF!"

The shooter, now identified as Williams, scoffed, "IS THAT YOU SMITH?"

"WELL IT ISN'T YOUR MOTHER!"

Williams disappeared into the wall and popped out near the bottom. The group now saw the man in front of them, He was Black and easily 6' 5" and 250 pounds of pure muscle. He had a very nice beard that covered the front of his neck and had tattoos all up and down his arms. He also had a sniper of some kind on his back that was easily a 50 caliber "Well, aren't we getting old Smith?" He said in a joking tone like he was talking to an old friend. He did have a heavy accent, even with the translators on.

Now Smith was very annoyed "Oh? I'm old are I?" Smith said with the same venom as on the bus. Williams instantly backed up scared for his life.

"Didn't mean it like that. I meant we both are pretty old now." Williams corrected himself.

Smith sighed and most of the tension from her shoulders left. She pulled Williams into a hug. "Good to see you, ya Jalapeno Ona-hole."

Williams face turned as red as it could possibly be "I still blame you for that Smith."

The other four felt very uncomfortable at all this banter between these two. Smith turned to the group "Alright kiddos this is probably the only person on campus that will make you run ten miles, then be genuinely sorry that he did it. His name is Major Williams and he is the PE coach as well as security, maintenance and discipline. I met him in a civil war in The Congo."

Smith started to remember all the times she and Williams almost died. Williams stook out his hand to shake, Tony and Kimi did so with enthusiasm, while the girls just waved.

'His hand feel like just one big callous' Tony thought.

"First, I would like you to call me Mr. Williams from now on. I guess since Captain 'Idontshootpeople" won't talk I will tell a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in the Congo during the big civil war. I learned to shoot from this one Egyptian lady named..." Williams blanked for a second at this

"Eh doesn't matter, but I was the best shot in the entire war. I met Smith soon after during a joint mission and she kind of stuck to me like a fly on shit. After about, what 3 years? Me and Smith went our separate ways. She did land me a job here when it did open."

His story was captivating and he had all the people attention, even Captain 'Idontshootpeople'.

"Smith why were you in the Congo?" Kimi asked.

"I was helping the Extra species to sign the bill, and one particular tribe of Oni's and lamia were being persistent against the bill."

While the others nodded their heads, Williams remembered his job, " Why are you here Smith? Last I checked you had a ban in Chad."

"I got the ban lifted. To answer the First question these kids are enrolled at the school."

"Have they met the principal yet?"

"No. They haven't even gotten the tour yet."

Williams took a large breath at that. "I guess that they must meet directly with the principal"

Smith stopped breathing and stood still at that, turned around and started back to the bus. "Welp, good luck to all of you." Did the others sense fear, or pure hatred coming from Smith?

" Oh no you dont. You are the guardian of the kids. You need to come too." Williams demanded. Smith looked at him, sighed, and ran off towards the bus faster than she has moved in 5 years.

Williams, in turn, pulled the sniper off his back and shot toward the agent. She stopped dead in her tracks when the bullet took a solid half inch off the side of her hair. She turned around, fear in her eyes and passed out face first into the cooling sand.

"Uhm. Mr Williams, is she ok?" Miia asked with politeness rarely seen.

"Don't worry I didn't kill her. I probably wouldn't kill her anyways if I could."

As Williams went to pick up Smith, the group of students talked among themselves. "What the fuck just happened?" Tony asked.

"Well it looks like Smith and Williams know each other.Probably like Brother and Sisters in arms." The others nodded their heads at the logical explanation. Kimi, Miia and Lala only have known her for a couple of months, while Tony was still completely lost. Williams returned with Smith still passed out, piggyback riding the ex-soldier with what appeared to be a small smile on her face. "Alright all of you, follow me to the principal's office."

As the group followed Williams toward the office he offered one piece of advice "Be prepared for anything. Even working under him for many years I am somehow surprised everytime I see him."

The others were slightly worried about their new principal, especially how both Williams and Smith reacted.

As they walked past the outer ring of the school, the group was worried about this place. It looked more like under a underpass in L.A. than a school. Most kids were filthy and shaggy looking. The places they lived in were barely considered house or homes, more of some scrap metal slapped together and living on a prayer. The students were also eating out of cans. Lala picked up an empty can and it read. "Protein, In a can!!"

"This is... distasteful." Lala said responding to the can.

The others shook their heads in agreement. "This is what happens when you don't maintain a 3.0. It is pretty brutal but effective, most of the time." Williams spoke up.

Tony was scared. He barely maintained a 3.0 through High School, now if he didn't he would be living like a bum? He looked at the others but couldn't read the faces of the others.

Miia was very concerned. They didn't really have a good school in her village by the outside world standards, but it was good enough to get a 3.1 by human standards. So that put her in an awkward spot. She felt confident that Darling or Lala could help her. Maybe Tony, but she didn't know him well enough to ask for help.

Kimi was worried for his girlfriend. He knew that she won't last long in the slums, and was generally terrified of the place just walking through. He knew Lala would help him but Tony was a different story. For all he knew Tony was a super genius.

Lala didn't feel much death in this area, confusing her. Anywhere else in the world that she went to felt like death aplenty, but here just felt, miserable. It was an uncomfortable feeling for her. She passed the silly test and was estimated to average a 3.4 by human standards. This place still felt off to her. She really wished Tony would hold her head again.

"Sorry you kids had to see this. It was part of the tour you missed, but compared to what I've seen, this is tame. The school officials won't let anyone die if they can prevent it but still let the others suffer to learn." William explained. "The staff did many studies of how kids learned best in my country. This what they learned from my little ones.They did compensate the villages they studied with many things but trumitasted many kids in the end" Williams said with absolute disgust.

The group was sad for Williams and wanted to give the big guy a hug. They went on though. He did say he saw worse so they left him alone, for the time being.

Smith finally woke up a few minutes later, and saw were she was and she jumped off of Williams and had a very small blush on her face. "Kids, did he do anything weird to me?" Everyone shook their heads at the question.

"Well well Jalapeno, still polite as ever are we?" Everyone was pretty confused, why was Smith being hostile to Williams?

"Oh I'm sorry," Williams replied with heavy sarcasm "Usually when someone is hurt you take care of them. But I suddenly do it and I'm a molester?"

Smith scoffed at that and went to retort when a pack of peanuts from the Airplane fell out. Suddenly she was surrounded by at least 30 kids all fighting for a single, small pack of peanuts. Williams instantly pulled the sniper off his back and told the group " Cover your ears." He shot 3 shots rapidly and scared off the group of hungry students.

Smith lay there with her suit torn in some places and the pack missing as well as her heels and her hair a mess. "Williams, what the hell was that?"

He found it hard to describe but did find the right words "Recently the student council proposed budget cuts in some areas to help fund some programs. That included the food for the lower level students. So now they live on 6 cans of that protein gelatin for most the week and on Sunday they get some bread and juice."

Tony had heard some brutal programs but this was next level stuff. He probably would have taken more packets of peanuts for those who needed it.

Smith was now the angriest person Tony had ever seen. Her hair appeared to be going Super Saiyan. "Williams," she hissed quietly but deadly, "You better take me to that fool now otherwise I will make sure that you will never see the light of day again." He went to retort but Smith closed the distance quickly, and used what appeared to be Judo to knock the big man down, and had his combat knife to his throat. "NOW!"

Williams quickly nodded his head and got on his radio, "Umm, Eagle 4 I need an immediate ride to the Center, Track my position." He paused "Listen here fuckface you better hawl ass down here otherwise its bathroom duty for a month. Now quit your bitching and get down here."

The kids were startled by his apparent lack of holding back his cussing towards his teammates. He maintained his cool just up until now. He maintained a river of cussing in, what they could hear, was an african language of some kind. After a solid minute of cursing and racial slurs, Williams turned back to the students.

"Sorry you all had to listen to me. I need to take command when a subordinate tries to backtalk, argue, or bitch." Tony and Smith nodded their heads at the explanation. Tony worked alongside his Dad so he knew all about the colorful cussing, and Smith was usually the one cursing at everyone else. The Japanese native and monsters on the other hand were mortified. Why cuss at someone when you can just ask with politeness?

The sound of a approaching helicopter interrupted the thoughts of everyone. "Took 'him long enough." Williams said. Everyone, even Smith who forgot her anger for a second, sweatdropped at that. It took the guy less than a minute to get to where they are at, but Williams was still complaining.

"Let's get going kiddos, otherwise I will fly this bird." Smith proclaimed. Both Williams and the Pilot had a scared look in their eye and scrambled to get on the Helicopter. That is until one tiny, little, microscopic issue occurred.

"Uhm, how am i supposed to fit in there?" Miia asked. All three adults face palmed at that. How did they forget about the 25 foot long snake?

"Ok, I have an idea," Williams interjected, "Smith, since you are the guardian of the group, you walk with Miia and meet us in the center." He said as he tossed Smith a pair of slightly worn combat boots. "Those should be good enough to run in."

Smith started to boil with rage and looked like she was going to kill Williams. He read her like a book and shoved Tony, Kimi and Lala into the chopper when Kimi stopped him. "I can walk with Miia and Ms. Smith."

"Are you sure?" Tony asked.

"Yeah it won't be that bad."

"All right suit yourself, Tony and Lala, let's hurry." Williams said in a rushed tone as he shut the door quite quickly and headed towards the Principal's office.

Tony and Lala sat next to each other slightly worried about Ms. Smith killing their new P.E. teacher. She had been nice enough while Tony had known her so far, but not violent towards them. Tony decided to strike up a conversation with Lala. "So Lala, why did you decide to go to school?"

The dullahan responded immediately, "The cruel government worker forced me."

"How did she convince an agent of Death to go into the human world, and go to a school?" Tony questioned.

"I have been on the shores of the afterlife, guiding lost souls to the final place for many years. Each of the souls would tell me their entire story for judgement, those souls who died young were the worst to listen to. After doing this for so long, I wanted to experience the mortal world." Lala paused for a second to think.

"I mostly dealt with the Japanese peoples , and almost every single one was very polite and respectful. Many of the souls told me of some new law that allowed those of unnatural origin to go into the country. So I went in and dealt with many families, none of which were very interesting. I then meet Miia and Kimihito and enjoyed them much. When Kimihito and Miia took the entrance test, I joined them and passed. Now here I am enjoying every moment of this mortal "life"." Lala had huge air quotes on life, but Tony understood. She definitely had a way cooler life than he did.

By the time Lala was finished they had begun to land on top of the huge building. As soon as Tony stepped out, nausea kicked in and he clung to Lala for dear life, Ironic. " What are you doing?" Williams asked.

"Not good with tall objects. Please open the door and let me in before I hurl the peanuts at you" Tony said with much difficulty. Williams nodded and led the odd pair indoors. It took Tony a minute once inside to adjust but when he did, he noticed how nice the building was. It was immaculate with no dirt to be seen. Tony almost took off his shoes but Williams kept walking. Tony loved all the amazing art that looked like medieval Japanese art. "Principal Jimmu loves the old art from his country, so he stockpiles a lot of it and decorates with it." Williams explained.

As the walked, a giant pair of wooden, red doors appeared with many carvings and little details that depicted a battle of some kind. Williams stopped suddenly. "I am going to let you two talk to him. I will give one piece of advice, Be prepared for anything." Williams explained. Tony and Lala nodded their heads and walked in.

The "Office" was huge, easily 500 square feet, and had many more of the paintings hung all over. A Koi pond was somehow up here and was surrounded by a beautiful Zen garden. On the wall on the right with many swords and other pointy objects. There was also a suit of Samurai armor that clearly was never used for its purpose. The oddest thing was the man, who must have been Principal Jimmu, balancing on a Bo Staff in the middle of the Zen garden, on a rock. Tony was quite impressed.

Jimmu then fell over, face first, into the sand. He jumped up and cheered "YES, FINALLY GOT TO 30 SECONDS!"

The pair of on coming students face palmed at the Principal. This guy runs the school? Jimmu ran past them at an Olympic rate, sat in his desk, pulled out a notebook and started writing in it. Most people at this point would leave, but Lala and Tony just stood, waiting for Jimmu to finish doing, well whatever he was doing.

"Sorry, I will be with you in a moment." Jimmu said. He seemed to be fidgeting and struggling to write, as if to avoid the awkward pair.

' I think the Principal is really trying to avoid me' Tony whispered to Lala to attempting to lighten the situation. She had a small smile on her face. Most people try and avoid a blue skin person, but Tony was acting like it was his fault for this situation.

"Alright, enough avoiding each other, my name is Jimmu, but you will call me Principal Jimmu or Principal, nothing else. Only enemies or close friends call me Jimmu." It seemed like the slightly goofy Principal was gone, replaced with a very serious man. It was a 180. "I only have 2 enemies, one is paperwork, the second is..."

That moment Smith decided to walk in. She looked at Tony and Lala with a softer expression and came across Principal and she had a rock hard face on. " So, you starve kids now?" said with such ice it dropped the world temperature by a degree. Jimmu just stared at her and grabbed his Bo staff next to his desk, and suddenly rushed towards Smith. She, in turn grabbed a spear from the massive collection and ran towards the Principal in return.

"GET DOWN KIDS! HE/SHE IS A PHYCO!" The two brawlers said at the same time. Lala pulled Tony back and summoned her Scythe, just in case. As the two clashed trading blows at lightning speed, Miia, Kimi and Williams all walked in, and all walked/slithered over to Lala and Tony. "They attack each other on sight?" Williams questioned.

Lala and Tony nodded. Williams sighed, "Well we could let this play out and talk for a bit or we could go to your rooms." Tony, Kimi and Lala sat down and Miia snuggled up next to Kimi. "So how was walking here?" Tony asked.

Williams knew he had his answer even without a definite response, so he sat next to the group and enjoyed their conversation.

"It wasn't as bad as the slums, if anything it improved a lot. The apartments we are staying at are pretty basic but nice overall. Ms. Smith showed us our rooms. The girls get one of the bigger apartments on account of Miia's size, and ours is pretty basic." Kimi explained.

Tony was pretty happy he didn't get a room with a random person. It also helped that he heard Kimi was an amazing cook.

Suddenly a throwing star almost hit Lala's neck. She jumped up and grabbed her Scythe, ready to send whoever threw it to hell. She been there many times, and hated sending people there.

She saw The Principal of all people looking scared for his life. Smith now looked scarier than the devil, "I wasn't going to brutalize you, but now I have no choice after you almost killed Lala." Lala looked like she wanted to speak up at that, but remained quiet.

With his back to Smith still, she charged forward to backstab him. Williams had enough of Smith's shit for the day and caught her before she stabbed Jimmu. "Can you not stab the principal? We kinda need him to run the place."Williams asked with kindness, in return Smith still struggled against him. He sighed and picked Smith up by the armpits like he was going to lecture a small child. Instead of yelling at her, he just stared at her eyes and appeared to have a conversation with no words. Smiths body visibly loosened up. "Ok you can put me down now," Williams complied and set her gently back on her feet.

"Jimmu I am sorry for trying to stab you, I will not try again until the kids are out of school" Smith said with such sincerity that the Principal put his Staff down. He replied "I am truly sorry that I almost hurt one of your kids. In return, I can give you your own room on campus if you would like?"

Smith thought about it, 'No more paperwork, dealing with Doppel's pranks or bad hosts. On the negative, I would have to deal with Jimmu, But what do I hate more?'

"Alright Thank You Jimmu," Smith said with a polite bow "I will be on my best behavior. Besides, someone needs to keep an eye on the two love birds." She finished with a wink towards Miia and Kimi, who in return sported a major blush.

Jimmu smirked at this "You do need to get a Job to pay off food Smith. Luckily for you the Job as my secretary just opened up. It pays 6 figures with any expenses or hospital bills paid for."

Smith was baffled "6?! That's more than my government pays! Consider me hired!"

Williams now looked concerned. He whispered to the kids 'There is a metric ton of paperwork to do. That's why it pays so high.' They all knew they would never hear the end of it now.

"As for you kids,classes start in a week, so get any supplies you need. I will give you the list and because of this incident you will get everything for free." Tony and Kimi were happiest about this because Tony didn't have any money on him, Kimi because He knew the Bill didn't apply to this so it would have been quite expensive.

"Mr. Williams if you could please show everyone to their New Homes that would be perfect" The Principal said. As everyone was escorted out, Tony stopped in his tracks "One question Principal Jimmu, what's your first name?"

"No one knows" Jimmu said with joking manner. Tony chuckled at this and waved goodbye. Once Jimmu was alone he pulled up Tony's file. There was nothing spectacular about him, he was just average. So how in God's name did he pass the test?

_20 minutes later at the Girls Apartment

As Kimi helped Miia unpack and Tony helped Lala, a knock at the door interrupted the group. Kimi answered it, and Smith walked in. "So how is your apartment girls?"

Miia was first to respond "It's a lot tighter than Darlings house, but it still is nice."

"I agree with Miia. I do not like the small abode, but it will suffice." Lala agreed.

Smith nodded her head at that "Good, you girls got lucky. They were attempting to put you in an average apartment, but I forcibly reminded them about you Miia." Everyone caught the message she was sending.

"So Kimi, do you want to go to ours now?" Tony asked. Kimi nodded in agreement, "Give me a minute." Tony gave the thumbs up at that.

Kimi walked over to Miia and gave her a passionate kiss. "I am so glad you could come with me, I don't know what I would have done without you." Tony and Lala had small blushes on and averted their gaze from the couple, while Smith looked right at them. 'god i need a man in my life' she whispered under her breath.

Miia started to whimper, "How will I stay warm without you Darling?" Kimi stepped back and went outside to grab something. When he stepped back in he had body pillow with a almost naked picture of him on it. Tony almost threw up at this, but had to admit Kimi was pretty fit. "It's a heated body pillow. I knew that we wouldn't be able to be in the same bedroom so I bought this for you. Hopefully it will..." He was tackled to the ground with Miia wrapped around him "Oh Its perfect Darling. It may not be as good as you but I still love it!" Miia went in for another kiss and Kimi obliged.

After they were done, Tony and Kimi said their goodbyes and took the elevator to their room. They were a couple of floors below the girls but not to far. Their room was significantly smaller but looked similar. Tony started unpacking his few sets of clothing and his PS4 when Kimi popped in his room "I made some dinner if you want some." Tony nodded his thanks and walked to the kitchen. Kimi had made some basic Swedish meatballs and a Mozzarella cheese dip. Needless to say it was amazing. Tony felt like he could eat like for 3 people, well there was that much food.

"Sorry, I am used to making food for Miia Me and Lala, Miia by herself eats four times as much as Me and Lala together, Should I bring the leftovers to them? I know Miia can't cook, I'm not so sure about Lala though." Kimi said without stopping.

Tony put his hands up in defence, "Calm down man, I am sure they are fine.They would probably love some of your food."

Kimi nodded his head and packed 25 meatballs in some containers and hurried back up to the Girls' room.

"Finally some time to myself. These past couple of days areare just hectic. First even that test was a bitch. When I get back I am gonna kick Ian's ass so goddamn hard. $100 my ass."

It was pretty quiet though, was that a bad thing? Tony was so used to quiet and preferred it, but now it felt off. "Ok fine I prefer the chaos now but I will never go back to the top of that building again."

_Quick Cut to the Mon squad

"Smith I swear to god you better get back here or I will personally turn you into a Zombie" Zombina complained to Smith over the phone.

"Sorry Bina, they offered me 6 figures with full coverage. A person doesn't get a offer like this everyday!" Smith counter argued.

"What about your job here?" Bina asked.

"I saved enough Vacation days for 5 years or so."

"First off how? Aren't you like..."

"Bina don't say a woman's age. Ever." Smith warned.

"Ok, ok. But why not take all of us? The Paperwork is hell." Bina complained.

"Oh no...cutting out...good ... luck." Smith joked and hung up.

A/N Alright that was hell. I am an absolute lazy fuck so I can push maybe a 2 week writing schedule. I dunno.
