The Doll's Purpose

-Chapter 3-

"Ranks, The new Category System"

Invisobeings were common, but to date Magenta had not yet met one not in her classes or even on campus and if she had been near one they must have been,Of course, invisible.

So seeing Sara morph into nothingness was a big deal for her.

"Hey Sara you better get ready for the exercises, since your new Coach Perusal is going to test you to the max" Magenta said to Sara, who looked at her completely clueless.

"Yeah she's going to give you a drill assignment for today so she can get your rank score, and after you get your rank your given exercises that help you build up to the next one" Ethan quickly chimed in, Sara looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks, I was getting confused there for a second" Sara laughed nervously, everyone in the group laughed with her.

"No worries there, we all were confused when the new system came out, I'm sure you'll do alright you might even get a B rank! Most Invisobeings get B Rank" Magenta added with a smile, Sara gave her a hopeful look.

"Really?" Sara's hopes were back on, B rank was good right? The stronghold boy was only at B so it meant that she had an advantage, sure if they were equally matched it would be a problem but if she built herself up she could easily take them all when the time came to execute her mother's plan.

"Hey guys!" Will suddenly spoke up "Perusal wants us to go into formation" Will added and then turned to Sara " Good luck, Perusal is going to test you first" Will said to Sara and with that, Will, Magenta and Ethan suddenly ran off into a line;leaving Sara alone for only a second before Coach Perusal came and stood by Sara.

Sara looked up at the coach and gulped, she truly was a brooding women.

"Okay Silvson, the course is simple" Perusal spoke sternly, wow Sara thought that course was made up really fast.

"Your first step is to jump off of that trampoline over there" Perusal pointed at a round shaped object with a stretchy fabric tied into it, boy that was a weird looking thing "and then your going to throw a plasma at the dummy over there and then your going to through another plasma at the group of ninja dressed dummies and trap them"

Okay Sara knew what a plasma was, they were the things she threw to make things invisible, trapping the ninja dummies was going to be a cinch because she knew how to manipulate the chip to make a sphere cell.

(side note: sphere cell's are what invisobeings use to trap enemies watch fantastic four and see Jessica alba trap doctor doom in one with a super nova from the human torch as an example...crap I really am a nerd!)

"Next! Hey are you Listening Silvson? Well step two your going to have an imitation bomb thrown at you and your job is to shield yourself and the dummy civilian over there, see? And then your going to trap the bomb and throw it at that hole in the wall over there" Coach Perusal pointed at the roof of the gym, the "hole" was closed right now but yeah Sara got it.

"Step three is the final step, your going to have to drop a shield bomb into the hole in the wall and then your going to be shot at with mock- rave waves you have to shield yourself for a full 15 seconds before being pummeled by a round of Nail Shocks if you freeze these in place you'll get extra points, okay now go!" Perusal said quickly, Sara wasn't sure if she even heard everything right, Nails shocks splinters wha?

"Silvson run run run!" Sara heard perusal yell and she did what she was told, she ran. Oh boy this was going to be interesting.

"Sara jump on the trampoline!" Sara heard someone that wasn't Perusal cry out, it was Magenta, okay trampoline go.

Sara ran towards the trampoline and jumped, to her surprise she she bounced up!

"wha!" Sara gasped she was falling towards the gym floor!; Sara quickly brought her knees up to her chest and landed with her sneakers hitting the polished floor with a loud thud, she lost her balance momentarily causing her to slam her knees on the floor too, Sara bit her tongue to hold back from yelping,Sara's face began to turn red with embarrassment;she was not counting on making a clown of herself and quickly jumped up.

"The plasma!"it was Magenta again this time she was joined by Ethan and other class members, Sara heard them loud and clear she through a plasma at the nearest dummy,the dummy went flying backwards disappearing momentarily before crashing into the wall, Sara then remembered the ninja dummies and through another plasma this time to trap them a round sphere indeed took place and held the dummies prisoner.

BRIIING! A whistle.

"Good run Silvson!" Perusal said with a grin, at this the class turned and applauded, Sara looked towards Magenta who was grinning and clapping, Sara did not know why but she was grateful to see Magenta praising her.

"Still you need work on your landing, you fell and skimmed your knees! We'll look at those later so get ready for round two!" Coach perusal instructed Sara nodded, and the class cheered, hmm why did these kids cheer? Did they like to see someone make a fool of themselves? Meanies.

"Okay step two! Protect the civilian!"

BRIN!

Sara was off, she dashed towards the dummy with her full guard up, she was not going to embarrass herself like she had a minute ago, but still she felt herself becoming distracted by her classmates, they were cheering and shouting out tips, this made Sara realize that this was common to all the students who took this drill, probably a spectator thing..

"Watch out! SARA!" Sara looked to her left and saw Stronghold who was pointing up, Sara looked up and realized it was the bomb and quickly instructed the censor chip to help her create a shield.

"Okay lets do it!" Sara said under her breath and lifted her arms.

SHWOOOOM!

The Shield was up now for the tricky part.

BRAGSHHHHHHH!

"Come on!" Sara yelled out this time and manipulated her censor chip to wrap the shield over the mass fire, in seconds it was trapped in a clear sphere, Sara could see the fake flames dance inside the sphere it was almost pretty to Sara, she quickly shook that off and then took hold of the sphere and spun around for a second before letting go of it; sending it flying into the now open hole in the wall.

Seconds later the sphere lost its power..

BRASH!

The flame and sphere exploded in the air, making look like fireworks, a lot of the students ooh and awed at the sight, anybody would have! Fireworks were cool!

Another whistle.

"Wow, that was impressive" Coach Perusal walked up to Sara and gave her a congratulatory pat on the back, Sara beamed proudly and looked towards Magenta, Ethan and Will, who all looked like they were having a blast watching the show, Will and Magenta gave her thumbs up and Ethan clapped uncontrollably.

"Hey Silvson pay attention" Perusal snapped Sara back to reality "You still have step 3, finish this and we'll give you the rank score"

"Okay" Sara gulped, the rank score? Why did she even care? Getting good rank was not part of her mission, still why was she so nervous?Sara quickly shook off her fear, her Mother had not created her to feel fear, she was her soldier her prized creation! She had to be strong for Gwen.

"Ready...GO!"

Sara clapped her hands together.

"Okay, shield bomb mom taught you how so lets not disappoint her" Sara thought and clapped her hands again, the air around her hands began to bubble and form a physical plasma sphere her goal was to make it bigger and throw it at the wall.

She then let go, the sphere went flying up and plugged the hole just as planned.

"The Rave Waves!" Sara heard Magenta cry out, curses she almost forgot.

Thank you Magenta!

Sara then crossed her forearms together and another plasma field surrounded her shielding her from the Rave waves, which to her surprise, were sound waves, probably ear piercing because she noticed a few students and the coach cover their ears.

Now to hold it for fifteen seconds...

BRASSH!

She let go of the field and the Rave Waves were gone, it wasn't over yet though! Sara remembered the Nail Shocks they were going to come right at her any minute now.

"Don't drop your guard Sara" Sara whispered "I Can't disappoint mom..."

SHFRIING!

"Oh!" Sara gasped as a sharp blade zoomed past her;she felt a sting at her ear a more shocking kind of sting then anything, The nail shocks,hundreds of em and they were all coming at her, the one that had missed her was flying round and coming back at her like a hawk that missed it's pray.

Sara heard people gasp, she heard someone yell DUCK, it was from Magenta and Sara did what she had shouted out and ducked, she moved quickly out of the way of others dodging in the most impossible ways.

SHEEK!.

"AH!" Sara yelped, she was hit, the sharp edge of the nail shock skimmed her shoulder while an electrifying shock went through it at the same time.

'if you can freeze the nail shocks, they will be added as extra points"

Huh? Thought Sara, What was that voice? Was she the only one who heard it? Freezing the nails shocks in place...she could do that right?.

"STOP!" Sara screamed at the top of her lungs and slammed her fist into the ground, there was a small sphere wave around her, before the nail shocks around her suddenly froze in their places and fell to the floor, the loud clanks from the shocks were replaced with another round of applause and cheers from her fellow classmates.

Perusal stepped up.

"Not bad, not bad" She nodded approvingly "The last part was a good touch, gave me a proud feeling" she laughed, she must have been talking about when Sara yelled stop, yeah that was a bit over dramatic, but come on when you have sharp little things like those flying at you wouldn't you do the same thing?...okay... maybe not.

"Let me count up your rank scores and I'll see you at the end of class" Perusal than walked away, Sara was quickly joined by Magenta, Ethan and Will again, who all looked pretty amused.

"That was a good run!" Ethan spoke in a tone that would have told you that he was exited as a squirrel with a tree full of acorns "You'll make B rank for sure!"

"Really, When I did my run I was squashed by one of the dummies" Magenta laughed, Sara gave her a funny look.

"Squashed?"

"Oh didn't I tell you?" Magenta began "I'm a shape shifter, I can only shift into a Guinea pig though"

"a Guinea pig with streaks and a squeaky voice!" Will added he imitated a squeaky voice which annoyed Magenta and Magenta quickly slugged him in the shoulder he winced a little but Will only laughed and rubbed his now bruised shoulder.

Wow, thought Sara he was smiling and laughing! This morning he was so depressed! She just did not understand that, how can you be so depressed and then happy the next? She still had a lot to learn about human behavior.

"At least you only got squashed by one dummy Maj" Ethan spoke up "I got stepped on by ten students when I was in puddle mode"

Magenta and Will starred at Ethan for a minute before bursting out in laughter, Ethan blushed, and Sara giggled.

The rest of the hour went on with no other exiting tasks, just regular drills and jogs around the gym, there was one thing that did make Sara laugh though, a couple of guys ran up to Magenta and smacked her on the butt making Magenta run up and tear their perverted selfs a new one.

Sara liked Magenta a lot, she liked how she was a no nonsense kind of girl a did whatever she wanted to...Sara had to dismiss this though, Magenta was a friend of strongholds...and when the time came, she was going to have to...dispose of Magenta, and Ethan.

"Hey Sara! Lets go get your scores!" Ethan told her, and the group went up to coach perusal, Perusal looked at Sara and smiled.

"Your scores right? Just one second" a second indeed Perusal was one hell of a reader "Okay miss Silvson, in step one you fell and hurt your knees, and you also waisted eight seconds because of it thirty point deduction"

WHAT!" thought Sara, deduction?

"That's not fair" Sara looked to her right, Will was speaking up for her,

"IS it fair when a Hero fall's and hurts himself losing precious seconds for the civilian life Mr. Stronghold?" Perusal grilled into Will who gulped "Being a hero isn't about being fair to oneself it's about protecting and helping others, a slip up like that could be crucial" Perusal softened up, and Will Ethan, and Magenta nodded.

"Okay now step 2, you were almost hit by the bomb but you pulled yourself together and that was a plus but you lost time, twelve point deduction"

"whaaa?" Sara thought

"But step 3, you were hit twice by the nail shocks and that is a fifty point deduction, you also waisted time finding yourself in this dangerous situation another fifty points, all in all you've made rank...D"

"WHAT!" Sara and the others gasped.

"She should at least made rank C!" argued Magenta "She did a great job!"

"I thought so to young lady but this is all about time and health, and if she were in a real Nail Shock field she could have been hurt badly, you have to act fast in those kind of situations" Perusal then looked at Sara and gave her pat on the shoulder to try and cheer her up, at this point Sara shoulder's were slumped and so was her head, a good pat on the shoulder wasn't going to help much.

"I see great potential in you Sara, if you work hard in this class I'm sure you'll make it to rank C in no time" Perusal encouraged "Just show up for class and don't cause any trouble and you'll do fine... I'll see you four tomorrow"

Sara and the three walked away from the gym, She walked closed to Sara with Will right next to her.

"Hey don't let Perusal get you down" Will assured Sara "She's just strict"

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll do fine next time" Said Ethan, Sara smiled at them, she hoped they were right.

The four then split up they had different classes, except for Magenta, she and Sara had the same class, Still the low rank upset Sara, what would her mother say?

-

"RANK D! RANK FRICKEN D!" Gwen slammed her fist on the control panel, hard, it made the buttons that she had crushed glow and fizzle out, she knew she had to repair them later but that was beyond her worries,how could they give her daughter such a low score? She did great she was sensational in Gwen's opinion from what she saw on the two way screen.

But then Gwen remembered how stupid the Sky High staff was, especially Perusal, Oh seconds are precious blah blah blah, Perusal only cared about time humph! Well not everyone in the world could read an eight hundred page book in 2 seconds and escape from evils clutches in five!

"Damn you Perusal!"Gwen huffed and took in a deep breath, what did it matter Sara was supposed to invade it and ruin lives, especially Will's pathetic little life.

My how Gwen hated those goody goodies, prejudice jerks was more like it, it's what they were back in the day when she was known as Sue Tenni she was judged and thrown out to be a science nerd, no one saw her potential and now they were doing the same with her creation,She wondered what they would think once Gwen and Sara finally claimed their vengeance.

Gwen grinned, Royal Pain and her knew loyal servant reeking havoc among those low lives, sounds great when you put it down on paper. But then if things went well it wouldn't just be talk would it? Gwen smiled she was going to have her way this time and no one was going to stop her or her doll.

Gwen then cracked her knuckles and stood up, turning off the two way behind her,she had things to prepare.

-

A couple of hours later school was over, Sara had a compact map with her, it was a weird looking thing, it was a small hand held wireless computer with access to the world wide web,allowing her to connect to all kinds of maps, the computer was a silvery color with black rims, the front of her compact map had her mothers sign on it, appropriate considering her mom created it from scratch.

"Oh boy, I hope this thing works" thought Sara , The compact map had a red blip on the screen; indicating the location she was supposed to plant camp at, so she hopped the S-202 bus from the school and headed all the way towards the homes near the outskirts of town.

When Sara had gotten of the Bus she head south, her map told her that she was going to have to go into a woodland area, Sara knew what woodland meant, it was a place with lots of trees, her mom had shown her a picture of them so she knew what she was looking for.

A couple of minutes later she reached her destination, her campsite was off road and away from the dirt path she had to take to get there, her camp was nothing more than huge grass field with a nearby lake, pretty, especially to Sara.

"Okay, this is it" Sara said out loud and turned of her compact map making it click as she signed off, she then reached into her blue pocket bag taking out a silvery hard round object, this little ball was going to make her temporary home, she was sure how though, she then placed the silvery ball in the center of the field like her mom had told her to do.

And within seconds the ball began to sprout out electric sparks, one hit Sara in the cheek, making her jump back in surprise , that hurt! Sara quickly stepped away to avoid any further damage to her skin, and when she turned around she saw to her amazement a one story house, Sara smiled to herself and picked up her things.

This was home for now.

sorry if this chapter was kinda long, I'm hyped on four packs of pocky and i've been running around all over the place . might as well make good on the sugar high right?

peace out.

Escebella.

Ps If you know what Fanart central is my friend Rina is going to post a picture of Sara for me, just thought you all who were interested in what sara looked like would liked to know.
