Protagonist Prep Ch. 5
First Day, I own nothing but my own characters.
At the schools' clearing, everything to be normal until the dimensional portal opened again and the students as well as their parents walked through the portals. All them had nervous, and some cases fearful, looks on their faces due the fact they couldn't see any of the teachers especially Drooler. Luckily, the fire being was exiting the school, along with Barrage, and was carrying a barrel of some sort of black, boiling, tar like liquid.
"Huh, didn't expect you guys back so soon, would've made some more coffee." Most of the adults and some of the children cringed at what Drooler considered coffee, but were confused by what he meant.
"What do you mean, soon, we have been gone hours!" King Butterfly loudly exclaimed, annoyance filled his voice to the brim.
"Well that's impossible we've been gone for four weeks!?" Pearl squawked with fear and confusion evident in her voice.
"Attendons que nous sommes partis depuis un mois!" Nathaniel told Drooler with a great amount of fear in his voice. While everyone was freaking out about the extreme difference of time, Drooler was just calmly drinking his coffee. When he ran out of it he decided to calm their nerves.
"Dimensional travel is kind of like international travel, different dimension different passage of time." Luckily everyone seemed to accept what he said, but what Drooler took away from the entire panic-fest was.
"You guys brought suitcases!" Most of the mortals understood why he was excited considering that most of them weren't listening during the tour. They later became confused when they saw Droolers' lower pair of arms signal go back. Noticing this Drooler gained a sheepish smile and lied.
"Bugs." Most of them didn't buy it.
"Anyway, kids go with Barrage to see your dorms. Most of the parents you can go home, but King and Queen Butterfly come with me." Drooler ordered, the last of the part of it filled with quiet rage. The kids walked towards Barrage, Star felt a bit worried for her parents, and after they said their goodbyes and good lucks most of them left. Drooler led the Butterflys west of the school deep into the surrounding forest and the farther they went the darker and more foreboding the forest became. Twenty minutes of walking Drooler stopped abruptly.
"Beast, why did you stop?" River asked his voice fearful, Drooler didn't say anything he just ripped a couple bushes away and what the royal couple saw something horrific. It was most of the elite guards and all of them were killed in gruesome ways some ripped in half, others burned to a crisp, but many were vertically cut in half with their vital organs spilling out. Moon almost felt her meal come back up, while River threw up where he stood while it's true that both Mewmans were veterans of war but they never saw anything like the scene in front of them.
"Who-What did this?" Moon asked pure terror in voice and her body shacking unable to move while Drooler just calmly told them.
"I did and before you ask me why." He reached behind him, with one of his lower arms, and pulled out a familiar face, it was Mina in her war armor but she was tied and gagged with multiple scratch marks and her right arm bitten off. Drooler removed the gag and ordered Mina.
"Now tell them what you told me." Mina nodded her body shaking.
"King River ordered me to come here." Moon was shocked at this accusation, Mina is a loyal warrior, while River became incredibly nervous.
"What do you mean Mina I never ordered you to come here." River tried to lie, his skin sweating. Drooler growled, which spooked the royals, and with his other lower arm he reached to his hip and pulled out Minas' mirror and pressed last call.
"Mina, I want you to teach that monster a lesson about harming the royal family." The recorded River said. Moons' demeanor changed from scared mouse to erupting volcano as she turned towards her husband with fire in her eyes. She then yelled at the top of her lungs.
"YOU WASTED OUR ELITE GUARD JUST TO SAVE YOUR PRIDE!" River became drenched in sweat and his eyes darting around, his brain trying to think of a response. However, Drooler used his upper arms to separate the royal couple and placed Moon on his left and River on his right. Before River could thank him Drooler just glared at him and threatened.
"King River, I am a teacher which means I am responsible for every kid here. If you decide to send anymore threats to this school I will see to it personally that you will burn!" His upper right hand fired up and curled up into a fist. He struck the ground near King River which caused the ground to shake and bend. Meanwhile with Barrage and the kids were walking down a hallway when they felt the aftershocks of Droolers' punch.
"What was that?" Steven asked in fear and worry in his voice, not for his safety but for this planets'.
"Don't worry that was Sargent taking care of a few things." Barrage told the group without a hint of worry and what he said didn't calm any of the kids, in fact it terrified. After walking down, the hall for a few minutes Barrage stopped abruptly which caused the students to collide into each other.
"Hé, regardez-le vous aves trop d'iguane!" Chloe yelled at Barrage, who just glared at her and caused to flinch, he then tapped the wall in a specific order. Lines appeared all over the wall turning it into a 11-ft. tall grid of squares which collapsed in on each other. All the students looked at in amazement, while Barrage just dropped to all fours and crawled through the hole. Inside was a large room with a living in the center, to the left and right were door, and a kitchen to the left of the living room area. Most of the kids were amazed at this but others noticed one problem.
"Hey, where are we going to sleep?" Gaz asked with annoyance in her voice and etched into her face Barrage just sent a glare to child, who uncharacteristically flinched, Barrage motioned the children to follow him to the door on the left. Inside was a medium sized room with twelve beds, six on the left and right, and one each bed was a foot long two thick panes of class on the end of each one.
"These are the boys' dormitories, the girls to the left. Your mortal facilities are at the end and each bed has a Com screen which can be used to contact loved ones or search the internet. Before you ask yes we're able to check your browser history." All the kids gained a slight blush at what Barrage told them he then just left the kids to their own devices. Which proved to be a disastrous idea because not only did forget to tell them about the curfew, the kids started to descend into chaos. Dib tried to hack into the walls, Alya dragged Marinette around all the rooms, while Gaz and Adrien were engaged in a video game battle. While Steven and Boone were talking about the advantages of flip flops, Star and Connie were talking about the adventures they've had, Sashi and Marco were comparing fighting styles. While everybody else took advantage of the no curfew and stayed up for most of the night, it wasn't until 2 a.m. when everybody went to sleep and they were in for a rude awaken. At 8 a.m. Drooler crawled into the student area and saw the students strewn around the main room asleep, he smiled having an idea on how to wake them.
"RAAUUGGGHH!" All of them snapped awake and few of them assumed a fighting stance until they saw it was Drooler, they dropped the stance thinking it would be a bad idea to attack not only their future teacher but also someone who could throw people like their baseballs.
"Staying up on a school night and sleeping in not very responsible, is it?" Most of the students had sheepish or embarrassed looks on their faces while others had to restrain themselves from yelling at the fire being.
"Come on your first class is with Behemoth." He told the students with trace amounts of disappointment in his voice, he then crawled out of the student area and waited for them. After the kids had went to the dormitories and had quick shower and change they walked towards to the exit, where they followed him to Behemoths' classroom. During the walk to the class the kids were talking about what Behemoth class would be about, some he would be a PE teacher, others weight lifting, a few even thought something a bit more violent. However, those rumors quickly dissipated when Drooler turn towards a left hallway and opened a door on the rightside of the hall, inside was a whiteboard, desks in the center of the room, and in front of the room was a teacher's desk proportionate to Behemoth is where he sat reading a literal man-sized book. Speaking of books three of the walls were covered by bookshelves filled to the brim with books of all types except Twilight because Behemoth has taste.
"Indeed, I do, also welcome to English class acolytes." Behemoth greeted. The students were surprised, and slightly disappointed, that he wouldn't be anything dealing with strength but they were also confused by this. After they got seated and Drooler left them Dib asked.
"Um…Excuse Mr. Behemoth shouldn't we be studying something heroic like rescuing or fighting villains?" Behemoth just chuckled and told them with a smile.
"Yes, this is a hero school but it isn't Hogwarts." Unfortunately, most of the students didn't get the joke, sensing this he decided to elaborate on the joke.
"What I meant was, yes we will teach lessons in heroics but we also don't want you lose any knowledge academically. Now when I hand out your textbooks don't be disappointed about the small size." However, when Behemoth opened a drawer pulled out a stack of 10 2ft by 3ft black books the last thing they felt was disappointment.
"Now when I'm done handing the books out turn to page 652 and we'll discuss how dark romanticism symbolism changed the literary world." For the rest of the day was like Behemoths class, difficult to understand and harder to follow. In Boulders bio class he wanted them to clone a fully functional human organ, then they were led towards Zizzoro history class. There Zizzoro just handed out man sized history books and walked towards the blackboard he had, he then wanted them to write a ten-page essay on the War of Lutalai. Then there was Tech's algebra class which for some of them was manageable but still rather hard, he wanted them to solve a college level mathematic and gave them a literal three feet tall homework pile. Let's just say when they were taken towards Drooler's class they were terrified about facing the fiery teacher, meanwhile Drooler was planning an amazing lesson plan for the kids. As the kids walked into his classroom he could see the kids looked like they went through a fight with a Clocrean.
"Geez, what happened?" Drooler asked his students rather worried for them.
"Well…um…You see.." Steven tried to explain until the ruder students deciding to voice their opinions rather loudly.
"We had to read textbooks the size of me for almost two hours!" Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs, causing Drooler to flinch a little at the loud sound.
"I had to solve inferior math that no proud Irken should learn!" Zim screeched loud enough to shake some of the beakers in the classroom. Then the final protest came from Connie surprisingly.
"We didn't have the correct equipment to handle a human organ!" That just caused most of the others to look at her strangely until she muttered that her mother was a doctor. Drooler just took a deep breath, so did the kids fearing what would happen next, but then he just let out a tired sigh and used his upper hands to massage his temples to fight off a headache.
"I had feeling that this would happen." Drooler mumbled, which rumbled like thunder meanwhile Zim almost turned a dark green.
"You knew that this would happen!" He screeched at the top of his lungs or organs like them, that caused some of the beakers to break. Drooler just sighed and he began to explain.
"The guys never really been around mortals much and really don't know how to interact with them. Saving yes, interacting not by longshot. Now you guys don't have to any homework, now who wants to blow something up?!" Drooler asked the kids, they seemed to cheer up and they actually enjoyed the class, though some may not admit it. When the kids walked back towards the dorms and were far enough away, Drooler began to stomp down the halls a made a right and kept walking until he was at a large oaken door with a pattern of beasts on it. He slammed open the door an in the room was Behemoth, Boulder, Tech and Zizzoro sitting around an extremely large table. They turned to see their boss currently a bit angry and he growled out.
"We need to talk." Drooler growled out which caused Tech, Behemoth and Boulder become anxious while Zizzoro just kept calm.
"About what sir?" Behemoth asked rather timidly he knew what Drooler was like when he was upset.
"About the metric ton of work you gave the kids and distinctly rember telling youg three not to overwork them." Drooler answered the question rather coldly.
"Excuse me CEO but we could do that when we were just a few hundreds years old." Tech politely told the fire beast.
"Yeah, we could've had done and have time to take a nap." Boulder said trying to justify what they did.
"Yes but are they us, can they do that, are they smart enough and can they even comprehend what you guys told them in such short amount of time!?" Drooler roared out at the four other teachers, three of them looked a little sheepish and mumbled out a round of no's. Drooler then turned to Zizzoro and just asked him.
"And you would it kill you to speak, these are kids not an army!" Zizzoro just sighed and spoke.
"Fine but I don't see how this will be any different." Zizzoro told Drooler his tone bored and his voice sounding like a very familiar dino trainer.
The end.
Authors note.
I want to thank Guest(Feb 14) for the wonderful ideas and they kinda inspired me but I'll be sticking with what I have for now. I may use it for a later chapter though so don't worry.
