Sorry for the long update; I had another chapter set up, but decided to scrap it and start over. Please enjoy KingOAnime.
Titans Academy- chapter two- Dreaming of You
Ron hadn't eaten all day so he hungrily chomped down the food as everyone else talked. He noticed how comfortable Kim was with Josh; she was leaning on his shoulder and smiling in his direction.
At the same time he continued to get weird stares from Josh who seemed more interested in him than Kim. After several minutes Ron finally caved and left the table to try and get some sleep. Kim was disappointed, but understood that Ron had had a busy day.
He entered his room and fell on the bed. He began to dream of Kim; her face her laughter everything; until Josh appeared and swept her away which caused him to awake.
Realizing he wasn't going to get any sleep he decided to walk around the school since it was still afternoon. He strolled around enjoying the scenery until he saw Josh walking towards him. Ron could tell that he wanted to talk to him and he stopped.
"Ron, can I talk to you in private?" he asked.
Ron agreed and Josh led them to the arena where he brandished a keycard that opened the door.
"I thought students weren't allowed unless they were sparring." Robin explained this in the beginning.
"I'm one of the students that clean the bleachers so I get special access."
He continued to lead Ron until they were in the highest section of the arena where Ron could see several second and third year students sweeping and brushing the many bleachers.
"How big is this place?" Ron asked as the two of them sat down.
"The fighting area is about as big as four and a half football fields put together."
"Wow I can't believe I'll be able to fight here too."
"The first years only fight first years, but once you're more experienced you can fight almost anyone. You should see this place when teachers spar or when two really big time students get it on. This is the best place to hone in your skills and truly see what your powers can do in real life situations."
"But that's not why you wanted to talk to me is it?" Ron asked.
"No, the real reason is about Kim." he said looking around to make sure no one was listening, "I won't beat around the bush; I don't trust you."
Ron leaned in to listen more closely, "Go on."
"Kim has talked about you since the day I first met her, but she hasn't seen you for seven years and people change in that time. I want to know if you still care for Kim like you did back then."
"I'll tell you something Josh when I first saw you I didn't exactly trust you either; Kim has always been very naïve, but seeing how much you're worried about her I am glad to see she has someone like you. Kim was the only person who respected me, the only person who had my back. She would listen to my problems and give me encouragement."
Josh listened intently letting every word sink in to the point that it was engraved on his skull.
"When she left I was heart broken my life wasn't the same without her; sure I had other friends, but Kim was special to me and just seeing her has made my life brighter. I don't want her to disappear again; I want to be next to her always."
Josh smiled and raised his hand, "That's what I wanted to hear; friends?"
Ron took it and replied, "Friends, but if you ever hurt Kim's feelings or betray my trust nothing will stop me from getting you."
Josh just continued smiling, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
Ron stood up to leave, "You coming?"
"You go on I want sit here a little bit longer."
"Suit yourself; I'll see you tomorrow."
When Ron was out of earshot Josh began talking again, "I knew you were here the minute I started talking to him."
A mysterious voice answered, "I see why my master chose you; for a second year you sure are skilled."
"What do you want?" Josh asked sounding annoyed.
"I have come to tell you to be ready."
"When do I strike?"
"Soon," it hissed.
"You promise they will be safe?"
"As long as you follow our orders to the letter."
"And Kim is not to be harmed?"
"Is that why you were talking to that boy; to make sure someone takes care of her when you leave?"
"I just don't want her to be alone; I want someone who cares for her as I do to watch over her."
"He did say that he'll hunt you down if you hurt her; you do know you're going to right?"
"That's exactly why I chose him; if he's willing to fight me even though his powers are under developed then that's true compassion."
"You just focus on your mission or else." The dark figure left without anyone else noticing. Josh was left alone to consider his deeds; he knew what he was doing was bad, but he also knew he didn't have a choice.
At seven o clock the bells from the massive clock in the park chimed the time which echoed out for everyone to hear. Ron slowly awoke and got ready for his first official day of school.
Felix and him took turns taking a shower and after getting their uniforms on they left. Ron and Felix had different homeroom teachers as did Kim and Josh, but they would all meet each other in the one class that everyone has together; physical education.
In reality it was training, but since Titans Academy is a school physical education sounded more appropriate.
Ron entered the classroom that was stated on his schedule and was greeted by Monique and Wade who already had a seat picked out for him. They all sat next to the windows where they had a beautiful view of the park.
Everyone continued chatting until Terra entered the classroom; all the students stood at attention and slightly bowed before sitting back down.
"Good morning class," she said in a cherry voice.
"Good morning Mrs. Terra," they all replied.
"It's good to see familiar faces from last year as well as our first years; if you have any problems please tell me."
As Terra began teaching math Ron gave a quick glance around the room; all the students were either first or second years. He was glad to be with friends, but could also see some faces scowling at him; especially from a brunette haired woman.
"Pssss, who's that?" he whispered to Monique pointing to the woman.
"Oh her, that's Bonnie Rockwaller; she's always making that face. She the meanest person in the school; and her boyfriend isn't all peaches and crème either."
Ron decided to take notes, but was curious as to what everyone's powers were; especially Bonnie's.
When eleven hit the clock the entire student body headed for the out skirts of the school where it was nothing, bit but flat lands.
Terra paired people up; Ron got Monique, Wade got Tara, and he could see Kim had Felix.
"Alright today's exercise is to see what kind of powers your partners have; if you are a second year and your partner is a first year then I want you to train with them to see how far developed their powers are and how well they use them; the rest of you will do the obstacle course." Terra led the rest of the group away as two new teachers took over.
Ron could see that it was Jinx and Speedy who were going to watch them. Ron was very worried since his powers were almost nothing, but he had to try.
"Just focus Ron; don't be nervous," said Monique, "I'll give you some practice targets to shoot at."
She whipped out a notebook from her backpack and waved her hand over it. Five pieces of paper came out and molded themselves into paper airplanes. They flew around randomly as she instructed Ron to shoot each one down.
Ron carefully aimed his fingers and concentrated his energy until he fired bolts of electricity out, but the bolts were erratic and kept missing. After several minutes of wildly shooting he finally hit one, but it was barely a hit on the wing and it still flew.
Jinx walked over and asked, "What is your name?"
"Ron Stoppable," he replied.
"Ron how long have you had your powers?"
"Maybe a year or two."
"Then why don't you have any control over them; you shoot wildly in the air hoping to hit something."
"I'm sorry Ms. Jinx; I never got the training I needed, my family wouldn't allow it."
After realizing this Jinx came up with a plan, "Wade!" she called.
He came over asking what the matter was.
"Ron here has no control or experience with his powers so I need you to give him special tutoring until he's the same level as everyone else."
Wade nodded and led Ron to the park where he produced a small computer. He began to punch up codes on the keyboard, until a large portal suddenly appeared.
"Hop in Ron," he said as Ron carefully stepped in fully expecting to be in the twilight zone.
When he fully made it through he could see a small house in the middle of nowhere. When he turned Wade had stepped through and the portal disappeared.
"What is this place?" Ron asked.
"This is my own dimension; I made it last year to help with my studies. I can make anything here with a tap of the keyboard. This is where you will be training for a while."
"I don't understand how is this place any better then at the academy?"
"Because in here time moves by very fast; one day here is one hour at the academy. I can do an entire weeks worth of homework in one day."
Ron was amazed by this and couldn't believe he would have the chance to be stronger in a shortened period of time.
"What do we do first?" Ron asked excitedly.
"We first need to get a hold on your powers; you have the will, but your body is still lacking. Here try these on for size." Wade tapped at his computer and made several bulls eye targets set at different distances.
"You need to let go of all anger and frustration; and try to imagine something happy. If you keep that happy thought in you at all times then your powers will follow you; now try to hit that target."
Ron fired and just barely hit it, but he remembered that he needed a happy thought to make it work. He dug into his mind and pulled out all the happy thoughts he could until one appeared and made him feel warm; Kim.
Just the thought made him more confident and with her image on his mind he fired another bolt and it hit square on the bulls eye smashing the target to pieces.
He looked at Wade who nodded and said, "It has begun." To be continued…
Sorry for such a late update; I will try to get another chapter up before Christmas. Please review!!! KingOAnime
