The next few days were called 'free days', where the heroes that 'volunteered' to be here on this depressing planet could do whatever the pleased, as long as they don't stray too far or try to escape. Spider-Man proposed that they take the opportunity to see whom they were up against in this competition.

"We should make sure that we're not going up against these...things...that are fifty feet high!" He said intently.

Captain America nodded in approval. "Yes, although I'm sure the battles were planned out well, so that we are not at a disadvantage like that."

Spider-Man nodded back, and they all went to the lunchroom. There were many other...things...here. Spider-Man saw one purple thing that looked like a grundo on neopets. It had three eyes and six hands, though, and it was about three feet tall. They asked the chef for some 'earth food', and they were given hotdogs with mac 'n cheese. Wolverine plopped down next to a group of other heroes. They seemed like humans, only blue. And their hair was all orange. And they're eyes were clear. And they're teeth were very pointy. And they had claws. But, they seemed friendly, and one of them, the only girl, waved.

"How do you do?" She asked them, smiling.

"You speak English?" Johnny Storm asked.

"Oh, no, silly. We've all been equipped with Voiceamoalactures."

"I'm sorry, what?" Dare Devil said.

"She smiled. "They allow us to understand each other, as if we are all speaking one language. They are called Voiceamoalactures, for short Voice-Overs."

Dare Devil looked at her strangely. "Okay..."

Spider-Man rolled up his mask so that he could consume the food. He shoved it in his mouth as if he hadn't eaten in days. "So," He said with his mouth full, "What are you?" Everyone gave him a look that suggested he shut up or apologize. That was like asking a woman how old she was, or if she was pregnant!

"Me? I am an Aqarian. Our planet in right under the Aquarius constellation. We are water-breathers." She smiled.

"Huh?"
"It means, silly head, we can breath underwater."

"Oh. Of course!" Johnny Storm said. "So, we're basically opposites. See, I can light myself on fire and fly."

"And because he can fly in a streak of fire-woah-he thinks he's so cool," Spider-Man added. Everyone laughed.

"But, my dear," Johnny Storm said to her, "Ever hear the saying 'opposites attract'?"

Spider-Man couldn't help but crack up hysterically. "Jezus, Matchstick! You're in space and yet, you're still hitting on girls!"

There was a horn, and all the creatures at the tables got up. "Huh?" Spider-Man asked. "What's going on?"

"That means we must go to our rooms." She said, as she got up to leave.

"Wait!" Johnny yelled. "What's your name?"

"Aqualily."

"Beautiful. I'm Johnny."

"What a strange name."

"Thank you."

They all fled to their rooms once they saw that huge guard, Wane, came stomping in. It's almost as if he shook the ground when he walked. Johnny went up to Wane as if he was the same height. "Wane. What wing are the Aqarians staying in?"

"Why should I tell you?" He said.

Johnny thought, then smiled. "Because," He said loudly, so everyone left in the whole cafeteria could hear him, "I've figured it all out."

"Really, now?"

"Yeah! See us heroes are the reason for this stupid tournament. We're the reason you're here to guard us. Without us, there would be no show. There would be no House of Heroes. So, do as I say, because I am the reason that this stupid contest is even still around! We all are."

Wane grabbed Johnny Storm and clenched him in his huge, rough hand. "The headmistress should see what to do with you."

"Put him down!" Spider-Man yelled.

"If you take him, you're taking all of us!"

Wane smiled. "Certainly."

And then they all blanked out.
