Nothing, Is truly impossible
Tony walked out of Sister Margaret's office wearing a smug smile as always but this time was different. He held a piece of paper in one hand while holding his blazer's opening, 'Investigate Downtown, sounds easy enough but in reality: It's like a needle in a haystack.' he thought casually walking down the hall. He went turned the corner but bumped into someone as he did.
The force knock the other person to the floor but as mysterious as Tony is he immediately shook it off, "Are you alright M'Lady?" Another person asked whom was accompanying the other. The person went to pick up his friend but Tony held out his hand.
"I apologize Ms. Mably, here, lemme help you up." Tony said with an apologetic tone. The person was indeed Elizabeth Mably and her limiter André. Once again she was curious due to his change in nature and didn't know how to respond. Should she take his hand as a kind gesture or have André pick her up? She did nether and herself stood up.
She brushed herself off and took Tony's hand shaking it, "Apology accepted." She replied apathetically. Tony nodded in respect and went on his merry way, "Wait!" She called out. Tony stopped and turned around, "I want to ask you something?"
"Oh okay, I'd like to go to Moxxi's for dinner and liked to see that new war film Liberation afterwards." Tony responded making Elizabeth sound like that she was going to take him to a dinner and a movie.
"That's not what I was implying!" She snarled, "Stop playing games, I know very well that you aren't who think who you are" she stated with seriousness, "The way you walk, stand, and approach Ms. Kolt and Mr. Tepalei is something I'm all to familiar with. I wear the same pair of shoes you walk in."
Silent, Tony felt convinced that she wasn't going to leave without something said, "Do you now? You may wear the shoes but you have yet to walk in MY footsteps. I have done things that'll make anyone question what they were doing, but if you really wants answers you'll have to plan a small game of tag." He explained cryptically and asked something a child would say. André simply stood there waiting for his Big Sister to finish.
"Why would I do something childish?" She asked folding her arms
"You didn't let me finish; You'll get to do whatever you feel like to end the game." Tony explained simple rules but also making Elizabeth have the upper hand, "Lemme get a head start" Tony said knowing Elizabeth would use her Acceleration Turn once she decided he got far enough. Walking down the hall he turned around before turning another corner and smile.
Out of view Elizabeth decided that was far enough and stepped into an acceleration turn. In a flash second she appeared in the hall Tony turned into but found him at the end of the hall over 75 yards out. How, She thought. Tony just turned the corner and now he's at the end of the hall which could've taken at least a minute from where she was to where he now is.
Tony gave a simple wave and walked around the corner yet again. She decided to try again and stepped into a acceleration turn once more. Not a second less she appeared in the hall he walked down only to find a dead end. The dead end was no more than an empty blank wall with a door leading to the generator room which was always locked. She stood there trying to comprehend what was going on and how Tony keeps disappearing.
She completely froze unaware that André caught up with her, "Did you catch him M'Lady?" He asked. No response, "M'Lady?"
She shook her head, "No, I didn't." She replied turning to walked back down the hall,"But I need to talk with someone."
"Of course M'Lady" André acknowledged
Rooftops
Tony stepped out on to the ledge of West Genetics and glanced over to the city not far off. He thought about where he was going to start; Rooftops, Alleys, Parking Lots, or Walking the beat. So many choices and so little time, "Now would be a good time to have one of those advanced Sensing Skill they have in Anime." He commented to himself. He turned around to head for the staircase but notice Attia sitting in the railing overing the school. He smiled and kindly made his way over, "Enjoying the view?" He asked with hands in pocket.
Attia winced at the sound of his voice, "I have have nothing to say to the likes of you!" She stated
"Well, between you and me I think you have a lot to say to me, but you know..." He said and trailed off leaning on the railing beside Attia also over looking the school, "...Times are changing."
"Not another one of your rantings, please keep it to yourself." Attia pleaded not to hear yet another headache rant.
"Over 200 years ago during the mid 1800s there was a man who was once known as Lord Acton and one of his quotes always stuck with me: Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Tony quoted in tranquility now overing looking the horizon.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Attia asked toning down the hostility a little
"But it's not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it." He quoted another individual. He then turned to Attia with a calm look, "Wouldn't you agree?"
"I agree to disagree, I don't have fear of losing power." Attia responded folding her arms.
"That's why I see Miyabi harassing Kazuya and Satellizer." He said cocking his head and jumped over. Attia didn't think he'd be this wreckless but after a quick flight Tony landed on his feet with ease between Miyabi and Satellizer. Attia couldn't make up what just happened, she was in complete bewilderment, "H-How..." She couldn't find words to speak.
"Tony?" Kazuya called after seeing him drop from the sky, "Wha...Where did you..." He too was lost for words while Arthur and Kaho were too shocked to find words.
"That's not important right now." Tony replied disregarding the situation, "Miyabi." He called out
"Well if it isn't the Third Year Tony." Miyabi responded, "What brings you...down here." She asked unimpressed to his sudden appearence
"Leave these kids alone." Tony pleaded, "C'mon, you know better."
"I was hoping to liberate young Kazuya from this...wench." She responed with harsh and sadistic tones
"I don't need liberating from anyone." Kazuya butted in
"Kazuya shut up! Lemme handle this." Tony told him, "Miyabi, Leave them" he said sounding much more fierce and serious
"It's sounds like your threatening me?" Miyabi laughed
"I not a threat, it's a warning." Tony replied "Leave, them, alone." He said slowly and clearly
"Dispose of this...filth" Miyabi the ordered on of her Limiters to rid of Tony. Seeing how she had the upper hand she knew he was going to be easy.
"Yes Ma'am" a blonde Limiter responded. He quickly dashed over towards Tony and grabbed his collar.
Tony twirled his left arm to the grip breaking free from the grasp of the Limiter. Using his other arm he let the force of the Limiter hook onto his hand and once contact was made he shot up straightening his arm and stepped forward also thrusting towards the rooftop floor. The force knocked the wind of the limiter as he gasped for air but with quick reaction Tony drove his fist into the Limiter's face crushing his nose and cracking his face.
"I'm not going to ask you again; Leave them Alone." Tony responded shortly afterwards, "For whatever they did to the Third Year Hierarchy I'll deal with it" he explained standing up and fixing his collar.
"You dare insult the Great Miyabi Kannazuki?!" Miyabi stated activateing her Volt Weapons as he Limiters stood ready to activate their freezing
"Unless you want your face punched in I suggest you leave with your...boy toys and let me handle this!" Tony snarled making it clear that he'll deal with the second years.
After a quick stalemate she finally back down, "Fine, Take him" Miyabi ordered her limiters. They grabbed him and dragged him off, "I won't forget this." She stated before leaving. On her way down Chiffon can running up with her roommate Ticy Phenyl
"What happened?" She asked ignoring Miyabi and went straight towards Oazuya and Satellizer
"Everything's fine, Tony was there to stop a fight before anything began." Kazuya explained to the Student Council President.
"Oh, did he? Well where is he?" Chiffon ask scanning the rooftops looking for Tony
"What?!" Kazuya shouted and immediately turned around, "He was just there!" He pointed to a spot. Both Satellizer and Attia looked on in shook since they knew what exactly happened, "Satellizer. What happened?"
"He...he...just disappeared..." She stated with little words trying to process what happened.
Maximus' Office
Maximus spend most of his time in the phone calling several junkyards, "Hi, I'm Maximus Tepalei calling from West Genetics how are you?" He answered. Pausing he waited for an answer, "I'm calling in regards to your graveyard"
The person on the other line responded reluctantly
"Excellent! Now do you have any old military vehicles?" Maximus asked and agin waited for a response, "Vehicles like Tanks, APCs, and..." He stopped in mid-sentence due to being interrupted, "...What do you mean you only have civilian vehicles? This is a Graveyard is it not?" The person on the other line explained, "JUNKYARD!?" He abruptly called
The person on other line kindly explained to him that he need to tone down his voice, "I apologize, thanks anyway, can you give me the address? I may decide to stop by later" he apologized and wrote down the address of said Junkyard, "Thanks again ba-bye." He hung up and dropped his head onto the ledge of the desk, *Thud*
"Looking for something?" A voice spoke from the door. Knowing the tone, Maximus immediately recognized the voice.
"Elise Schmidt, Can you help me find someplace?" Maximus nicely asked not lifting his head from the desk. He and Elize were probably the smartest duo in the Academy and completed each other.
"What are looking you for?" Elize asked walking over and sat herself on his desk overing looking his back.
"A Military Equipment Graveyard." He stated again not taking his head from the desk
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Hmm, There's one not far from here." She said
Maximus shot up from the desk and turned to her, "Can you take me?" He asked putting his hands together as if he were pleading and begging.
"Sure." Elize nodded. Maximus stood up and grabbed his coat, "I don't see why not." And just like that Maximus and Elize headed off to the Military Equipment Graveyard. She wasn't really going to question why he wanted to go but also she didn't want to know.
Elizabeth
Yu-Mi quietly worked at her desk marking student's work and crediting them until Elizabeth walked through that door, "Ms. Mably, What can I help you with?" Yu-Mi asked but as she looked up Elizabeth locked the door behind her, "I take it that this is private."
"I want to know what exactly you and Sister Margaret were talking about." Elizabeth stated demanding answers, "Don't be coy with me, I know you were there."
Yu-Mi shoved aside her papers and linked her hands together, "We were only discussing reports and expenses." She assured
Elizabeth didn't buy her remark, "Frankly I find there hard to believe." She said stubbornly refusing to believe that was the case.
"What's there to believe? I only did my job as a teacher at this academy and..." ; "...Let me stop you right there. This has nothing to do with expense. No, this is regarding a certain "Idiot" who get's not your nerves every time you see him and now you're being awfully modest about it." Yu-Mi explained but was cut from mid-sentence as Elizabeth interrupted and explained was this was about.
Yu-Mi fell silent trying to process what Elizabeth explained. After a good minute or two she spoke, "That's what is this is about?" She asked
"I asked you not to be coy with me." Elizabeth replied
Yu-Mi stood up from her chair and walked towards the door, "I'd love to stay and chat but I have important matters to attend to." She said as she left, "You want EXACT answers: Go talk with Alexis Kolt."
If this information was keep secret Elizabeth knew she wasn't going to get answers from Yu-Mi, she was too much of a goody two-shoes when to came to Level-A material and sure enough she made her way to Kolt's office.
Once again she walked into the office and locked the door behind her, "Ms. Mably, What can I help you with?" Kolt asked making over student's work and disregarded the locked door.
Elizabeth froze over the feeling of Dejavu, "Who are you people?" She abruptly asked
Kolt stopped writing and place the pen aside, "You make it sound like we're aliens." She stated.
"Definitely not human though." Elizabeth responded placing her palms on the ledge of the desk leaning towards Kolt.
Kolt knew what she was implementing and quickly assumed what she was going to ask, "Damn that Tony, He's such an idiot." Kolt said under her breath.
"What was that?" Elizabeth asked
"Nothing, What would like to know?" Kolt asked in response and leaned in onto her elbows. She sounded willingly enough to give the information without struggle seeing as how Elizabeth was curious enough to know.
She thought about her answer she'll give to Kolt and after a solid minute she spoke calmly and clearly, "Everything."
Chiffon and Ticy
The two girls were in the workout room stretching, "Tony kinda weirds me out. You?" Ticy said breaking the silence between the two and out of nowhere.
Chiffon had her arms up and leaned over to one side and the other, "I dunno, I think he's kinda cute." She responded cheerfully
"What?! C'mon, he's an idiot!" Ticy stated opposing the fact.
"But he'a one of a kind idiot." Chiffon stated back defending the fact.
Ticy paused and stared at Chiffon with debelief, "What do you see in him that makes you okay with this?" She asked
"Out of the entire academy, not one person is the biggest fool other than me. Why, Because there ain't nobody quite like me." Chiffon quoted and reminded what Tony said, "That's what he told me after telling how a Pandora wanted to be a circus host and everyone laughed. Tony told that class he wanted to be a ditch digger turning everyone's attention towards him." She explained.
"That's...actually not a bad idea, but still creepy." Ticy agreed with that fact but also admitted he's cryptic nature.
"He is cryptic and mysterious, that's what makes things interesting." Chiffon explained with a smile to which Ticy rolled her eyes in response, "Oh that reminds me; I saw Attia head towards the simulation room."
"Isn't that where Ingrid Burnstein usually hangs out?" Ticy asked returning to her workout. Chiffon nodded in response, "Things will certainly get interesting then."
Downtown
Tony was walking the beat downtown 'investigating' but nothing conclusive came up. He decided to stop off at a café for a drink and ordered something of his choosing. He walked outside with a blissful smile, "Nothing can ruin my day!" He said to himself walking forward. Just as he turned the corner he bumped into a young girl. Splash, Tony's drink spilled all over the concrete, "NOOOO!" He screamed kneeling down over his drink, "My day...is ruined." He commented slumping down.
The girl regained composure and kneeled down beside Tony, "I-I'm sorry" she apologized, "I...uh...D-Do you want another one?" She asked not knowing what to do and panicked.
"No." Tony abruptly said standing upright immediately, "Like good things, It must meet it's end." He said fully recuperated and turned towards the street.
"W-Wait!" the girl called reaching out to grabbed him but Tony stepped faster.
"I'd thank you for your time Miss but I have more important matters to attend to." He said walked down the street. Clearly he didn't want to waste time mingling with locals.
"I'm Himiko Kasukezaki." She girl introduced as she caught up with him walked beside Tony.
"And I'm very late Himijo, Bye" he abruptly said to which caused Himiko to stop dead in her tracks and leave the man be. She shook her head in disappointment and walked the other way.
Tony managed to avoid a pointless confrontation with a local and weaselled his way into an alley where he picked up another dark sense but this time it was indeed an Impure. He stepped into a dead end alley where he seen a large creature slouched over into a garbage bin digging for something. He smiled at the sight, this was going to be easy he thought.
Upon closer inspection this creature was a Hydro-Class Impure that look similar to Fallout's Infamous Deathclaws. Having a large structured body with hind legs and sharp clawed hands, Horns springing out the top of it's head, a snout between it's eyes and Cage-like teeth dropping down. To complete the creature's fierce demonic appearance it's skin was toned the shade of light grey.
Tony unsheathed a sword which manifested instantly and purposely made a shearing sound. The sound made the Hydro wince and slowly climb out of the bin and look towards Tony.
Upon closer inspection this particular Hydro had it's right horn cut clear and it's right eye was damaged. That's when Tony remembered, "Skar?" He called out tilting his head and raising an eyebrow in question. Obviously Tony had run-ins with this Hydro identified as Skar.
Underneath the cage-like teeth Skar tried to mimic a smile and cheerful look despite it's demonic structure, "Tony, My best friend!" It spoke in a raspy low toned voice. Tony responded by lifting his arms up and shrugging his shoulders gesturing 'WTF'.
Flashnotes
To sum up the Hydro's look just imagine a grey Deathclaw. I want to admit I love Fallout and Deathclaws. Why, because their big and scary and do not really run into them IRL or gaming. Damn nature you scary
