Hi… alright, I don't have much to say. Um, sorry this took so long to get out, other things came along, stock up and stay safe from Coronavirus, good luck guys, hopefully we can make it to May. Enjoy.
The Coming Storm
Ender and the others moved swiftly towards the dorms, Ender leading the way.
"Okay, so, explain again who you think can help us?" Marth asked.
"Okay, so there are two people, but only one of them might agree. Honestly, it's a fifty-fifty chance," Ender replied.
"Wait, is it those Emo kids?" Daisy asks.
"Technically only one of them's Emo. The other is more like Tsukuyomi," Ender said.
"Uh, who's Tsukuyomi?" Peach asked.
"Hm? Oh, he's a character in an anime. I watched a bit of it with my little brother one time," Ender replied.
"Oh, you have a little brother?" Peach asked.
"Okay, is now really the time for questions and answers?" Ender asked. Peach shrugged as they arrived at their destination. Opening the door with his palm, Ender and the rest of the group stepped inside.
"Oh, hey Ender, how was the walk?" Sora asked.
"Bad," Ender replied.
"How so?" Meta Knight asked.
"Okay, to sum it up, Roy and Zelda got captured by the FBI, and Meta Knight, I need you or Dark Pit's help," Ender summed up, looking to both Dark Pit and MK.
"Wow, you are a delinquent. I was right," Dark Pit said proudly. Ender stared at him a moment.
"Shut up, you smoke weed," he replied. Shaking his head, Ender looked back at Meta Knight.
"Listen, I don't want to work with Dark Pit, think you can help us?" Ender asked.
"Apologies, but I don't think I can help you. I have not grown accustomed to my flight, and I believe I wouldn't be able to help gather information if that's what you need from me," Meta Knight said. Ender got a look on his face that just screamed 'processing' before he snapped back to reality.
"Well damn. That puts a damper on things," Ender said, placing his hand on his chin in thought.
"Maybe there's a teacher who can help us?" Marth asked.
"Maybe," Ender said. After a moment of contemplation, Ender spun around on his heel. "Alright, let's see if we can go find a teacher," Ender said, leading the way out of the room.

"I don't like this place," Marth said.
"What's wrong with it?" Ender asked.
"It just… irks me," Marth replied.
"Well… you're weird," Ender walked into the "firing range" with Daisy, Link, and Peach right behind him. Marth walked in and jumped as soon as he heard a gunshot. Tentatively, Marth continued to walk. From one of the firing booths, a short woman with red hair and sunglasses and an F.B.I hat walked over to the group.
"Can I help you four?" She asked.
"Yup! A lot of teachers told us to go here for hostage situations," Ender said. Her mouth dropped a little bit in a questioning matter, but she shrugged.
"Alright, we can help you. Have you already tried diplomacy," the woman asked as she beckoned them to come with her.
"No. We don't particularly want to be captured either," Ender said.
"Well, we need to first try diplomacy and I'm assuming that some students accidentally lost control of their powers?" she cast an inquisitive gaze over her shoulder at the five and they nodded.
"Okay then, this will be easy. By the way, my name is Ash," the woman, Ash said, as they drew closer to their destination, which looked like an office out of an old detective movie. Stapled in words exactly like those found in an old detective movie, were the words, Dr. Harishva "Harry" Pandey, Director of Rainbow.
"You guys are called Rainbow?" Ender asked.
"… Yes," Ash admitted before knocking on the door. Ender snickered, wondering why a multinational counter-terrorism Task Force was named 'Rainbow'. "Listen kid, it's just a name, everybody here could kill you without a second thought," Ash snapped.
"Woah, okay, sorry," Ender apologized. Peach, Daisy, Link, and Marth all took a tentative step back away from the stressed woman.
"No, no, I'm sorry, just stressed," Ash said before knocking on the door.
"Come in, come in!" Answered a vaguely Indian sounding voice from behind it. Ash opened the door and stepped inside the lavish office. There was a multi-colored Persian rug decorating the floor and a large oak desk near the back wall. Behind the desk was a window letting in bunches of sunlight. A large leather chair was seated behind it. Bookshelves lined the wall, filled with all genres of books, both fiction and nonfiction. Sitting in the leather chair writing in a journal, a man of Indian descent, looking to be in his early-mid-twenties sat. His hair was curled on the top and he had thick wire-framed glasses on. He wore a simple dirty white t-shirt with yellow Hawaiian flowers printed on it. He had a black beard and had blue jeans and skater shoes on. He had a simple black wristwatch on as well. He looked up and stood when the group entered.
"This is Six-" Ash began to introduce him.
"Harry. Please Ash, its Harry. Pleasure to meet you five," Harry held out his hand to the group, which made Ender slightly flinch, and each shook his hand in turn. "Pleasure to meet you all. So, what brings you here?" Harry asked.
"Well, ah, we went out exploring, and one of the people in our group accidentally used some magic and got her and one other person captured by the F.B.I." Ender sort of cringed, but Harry simply shrugged.
"Okay. We just need to show them some identification, make a show of warning you six, and then you're good to go. Although you will have to pay for whatever you broke," Harry said.
"Yeah that's fair," Marth said.
"Honestly, that was simpler than I thought," Daisy said.
"Well, it's as simple as that," Harry said. "Now, come on, let's go help your friends," Harry pulled on a jacket and walked out the door.

The black SUV pulled up in front of the police station and Harry walked inside, followed by Ash, Ender, Link, and Daisy. Peach and Marth stayed in the car. Opening the door, Harry and the others were met with the sight of multiple FBI agents roaming the police station. Calmly, he walked up to the front desk, where an FBI agent had taken over for the moment.
"Uh, hello," Harry said.
"…Can I help you?" The agent asked, casting an inquisitive glare over the group.
"Yeah, uh, we're here to take the two students you have in your custody back to the high school," Harry said.
"Yeah… not gonna happen, sorry sir," the agent said, turning back to his work.
"Yeah, um, no, we're taking them back," pulling a badge out of his pocket, Harry showed it to the FBI agent.
"Dr. Harishva "Harry" Pandey? You look legit, but… what's this Rainbow crap? Never heard of 'em," the agent looked back at Harry like he was crazy.
"That's because it's classified," Harry said.
"… I can give you five minutes, if you get off my case," the agent sighed.
"Thank you. Which door?" Harry asked, eyes fluttering to the several doors.
"That one, back to my left," the agent jerked a thumb over his shoulder.
"Thank you," Harry said, leading the group back into the holding rooms. Checking all the rooms, Harry finally came to the last one and knocked and entered. A silence perpetrated the room with Harry and the group's entering.
"Can I ask who you all are?" Said a man in a crisp three piece suit. His hair was separated into threes but came together in a ponytail at the back. He also had a mustache that barely reached his mouth. Four other agents were in the room, all holding ice packs to various parts of their bodies. Their gazes all hardened into glares when they caught sight of Ender.
"You're screwed," Daisy whispered to him.
"Can it," Ender snapped back.
"My name is Dr. Harishva, but you can call me Harry. I'm here to take these two back to the high school," Harry indicated Zelda and Roy, both handcuffed.
"Not gonna happen," the agent said.
"Oh I think it will happen Agent…?" Harry questioningly trailed off.
"Powers. Agent Powers," Powers replied.
"Well, Agent Powers, I believe it will happen, because these students had nothing to do with destroying… whatever they destroyed. It was probably a freak phenomenon," Harry said.
"See Dr. that's where you're wrong. I myself and this town have seen far too many… for lack of a better term, weird things, to call that a freak phenomenon. It was magic," Powers shot back. "In addition, that kid right there beat up four of my agents. No thirteen years old could destroy four of my agents in a 1v4," Powers said, pointing at Ender. Of course, he cringed as Harry and Ash's gazes fell on him.
"You just made this a whole lot harder," Ash muttered as she face palmed.
"Alright, how about we work out a de-"
"No, no deals. All these kids are being detained and taken to Washington, and we're going to investigate that new development, which I'm assuming is this school of yours, and anything we find suspicious, we detain, and I suppose we're going to have to build a lot more detaining centers," Powers said, cutting off Harry.
"Alright, how about this. I tell you everything I can about the new school without getting fired, you let the kids off with a warning and some punishments, like, I don't know, paying for whatever they broke and community service, and then let them get back to their academics," Harry proposed.
"…You're not gonna give up, are you?" Powers asked. Harry shook his head.
"Fine. But anything like this happens again, your whole little school gets shut down, and I don't care if there's some cosmic reason for it being there, it's getting shut down. The kids all get a week of community service," Then he pointed at Ender. "Except for him. He gets three weeks for attacking Federal Agents," Powers said.
"Yeah, that's fair," Ender shrugged.
"Good, now can we have the students?" Harry said.
"… Yes. Take off their handcuffs, they're free to go," Powers said. One of the agents begrudgingly removed the handcuffs from Zelda and Roy.
"Thank you," Zelda said as she rubbed her wrists. Link looked down at her wrists. Zelda merely smiled and nodded.
"Alright then. You're punishments will begin tomorrow, got it?" Harry asked the groups. A consecutive 'yes' sounded and Agent Powers nodded.
"Remember, if it happens again, we're investigating the entire school," he said.
"We know," Harry said as he ushered the group out the door.

Back in the car, and awkward silence permeated the air. Finally, Harry broke it.
"So, Ender, you know that was a bad thing to do, right?" He asked.
"Why are you scolding me like a child?" Ender responded.
"Because you should've known better than to attack four FBI agents," Harry said.
"What was I supposed to do, let Daisy get captured too?" Ender asked.
"That's true, he did kinda save my butt," Daisy responded.
"Now you don't curse," Peach said.
"I can if you want me to," Daisy shot back.
"Please don't," Peach put a hand up in front of Daisy's face and turned away.
"Either way, you shouldn't have done that," Harry continued to scold Ender.
"Harry, give the kid a break, he protected a friend and prevented more kids captured and he has three weeks of community service now, he has more than enough punishment," Ash said.
"I know, I know, just sayin'," Harry said. The rest of the drive was silent until they pulled back into the NAGP parking garage.
"Alright, you all head up to your dorms. It's almost lights out," Harry said, stopping the car and getting out.

The door opened with a click and Ender walked in. Dark Pit, Meta Knight, and Sora sat on the floor playing Monopoly.
"So, did you get Zelda and Roy back?" Sora asked as Ender went and flopped on his bed.
"Yup," Ender said as he rolled over.
"Then why do you sound so depressed?" Dark Pit asked.
"Cause I have three weeks of community service for beating the heck out of four FBI Agents, and still have to chip in for the shop window," Ender said.
"Oof, sucks to be you," Dark Pit chuckled before turning back to roll.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, I'm going to bed," Ender said before pulling his blanket over him and closing his eyes.
So, there's my newest chapter. I really honestly don't have much to say here, just that I hope everyone is safe, I hope everyone enjoyed, and I hope everyone will give me pointers on my writing. Goodbye!
