Everyone POWER UP!

[Decay]

Through the whole class, Sky had her face scrunched up cutely in concentration and was trying so hard that it made her burp a couple of times. The times she was interrupted was when she was cracking up at everyone else trying, particularly at Chase who totally ignored the padding and was getting his ass beaten by tennis balls. When she did get back to her task, she just couldn't concentrate. Sky WANTED to not touch it and make it into dust, but it wouldn't cooperate with her and she just didn't have the patience.

"Aw freak this, I can't do it. ICEMAN! I tried! It won't let me!" she yelled and grabbed a plastic ball to chuck at Ripple's head, giggling when it hit her right in the forehead. "Don't worry Chase! I'll save you!" Sky yelled and ran over full speed at Chase, jumping and hitting him right in the waist, making them fall to the ground with a THUD[/i] right under the line of where all the balls were being thrown. Sky crawled up so she could look down at him, ducking her head under the balls that got too low to their position.

"Private! We got ourselves a situation here," she said in a raspier sergeant voice as if they were in the army, even making her face all serious. "We got ourselves a war going on, this is no time to play patty cake. We gotta win this and put those commie bastards in there place!" She pointed to the tennis ball machine. "We can't show defeat, we will stay strong in the face of danger and WE. WILL. BRING. THEM. DOWN!" Sky yelled still in her army voice and managing to keep a straight face the whole time. "Do you understand me Private?" This time the grin broke through her face and she giggled a bit before trying to get serious again. "Hold on Private, NEVER GIVE UP! I'm going in!"

Sky rolled off him and burst into giggles, looking over at him and winking. "I'm gonna get rid of that commie sucker once and for all," she said and began crawling under the line of flying tennis balls towards the machine, something to make into another pile of dust. Iceman would probably not be happy, but Sky didn't care, she thought he was hot when annoyed.

[Lymited~Ink]

Kat smirked as she crouched down and waited for the call to start the course. She inhaled the air as if she were drinking rum and started slinking swiftly forward, hearing the footsteps of Riker ahead of her, moving faster than she. She caught when he jumped through hoops by absence of sound and the patter of him landing and timed it similarly so she too could jump through the hoops. She landed quietly on her feet and hands and even when moving in a crouched position she still swayed slightly from side to side in her way as she caught the strong whiff of onions and made a cute scrunched face at the smell.

She jumped again and felt the tip of her foot touch the hoop she went through and it threw her landing off a little bit. As she landed on all fours again, she padded past the onions and then jumped again as it was the pattern she heard coming from Riker as he went ahead of her. Although her cat claw tattoo gave her catlike reflexes, she had not honed or figured out how much of a jump she could make, so when she landed, she didn’t land on solid ground like she expected, she landed in something sticky and goopy, and smelling plainly like honey. Kat tried standing up and wiping off the gobs of honey around her mouth and hissed. “A bloody pit of honey?!” she screeched before turning her face into a pout and taking off her blindfold. Her voice turned almost whiny and sad as she spoke again. “Now I’m all sticky outside…stick stick…but I’m yummier than before!” she said, her voice picking up a happy vibe as she finished her sentence.

Because moving around in the honey was slightly hard, Kat was tempted to just drop herself down, but as it was deeper than what was good for sitting, she just settled for standing there in the middle of the pit. It just about came up to her chest, and since getting out would be nigh impossible because it was so thick and heavy, Kat worked one arm up out of the honey and began lapping at it. She made a sugary sweet happy face at the taste. “Yep, I’m much much yummier than before. I suppose it shan’t be a bad thing that I lost the race. Anyone like to come and help clean me off? Tongues are welcome here…” she said, a silly smile on her face as she continued licking her arm, pausing for a moment to try to lick around her mouth and even try reaching a little further than that with her tongue. It didn’t work very well so she just settled for licking her arm again.

[FreezeFrame]

"SIR YES SIR!" Chase screamed out in his 'highly motivated army dude' voice. "My momma don't need me shipped home in no bag sir, I'm to young to die!" he cried out and then screamed like a girly breaking into laughter at the end of it. "EEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAHAHAhahhaahaa."

"Aw shooot Sarge! Don't go all crawlin round and gettin your big rack- of METALS -all dirty now." he was still doing his southern sounding army private voice. "GawwDANG Sarge, thems some nipply metals ya gots dere. YeeeHAW dawgy!"

[Tempest]

Tia took the hankercheif thankfully from Kevin and wiped her forehead, How much can someone speak so much? ... uh okay, i get the idea, my accent isn't american, no rambling needed mate... Tia stared at Kevin with a blank expression before silence fell from his side. "Uh - Yea - Football - Soccer Ball - same thing. And I'm half british - half south african." she added, not really wanting to exaggerate much on the topic seeing Kevin seemed like he was feeling rather talkitive at the moment. Tia'd sort of overcome her annoyance for people speaking a lot, but seeing she'd just 'failed' at her challenge, she used Kevin's rambling as her focus to take her irritation out on.

"Err- I don't mind. Just something lighter than before. Sean's glider was sort of challenging, but it's still whole - maybe two gliders would be good? Football might be a bit too easy after that." she said, looking over at Sean and then back at Kevin. Tia'd heard K'8 cheering her on - she'd been working on having the wind bring conversations to her during the past couple of lessons and she was prettymuch attuned to her name now - anytime someone close by mentioned it, the whole sentance would come floating to her ears, not matter if she were concentrating on something else - but was still pretty pissed about loosing the race against the gothlike new mutant the previous day, so she pretty much pushed her words out of her head and ignored it.

[Onyx]

"FICKT! FICKT FICKT FICKT!!" Jasper yelled, half roaring at the pain surging through his body at yet another paintball caught him in the middle of his back. "Eef zhat vill vork, zhen let me at eet!" He said with a small growl. Looking around and finding a spot to the far right of the two students. Away off from them.

Suddenly, with as much anger as he could feel in his body; he shot tiny sparks towards that one sport. Alternating it to the side slightly every once in a while. The grass in the target area turned back and dead on impact. Crackling like the dark matter itself.

"Jou better be a queek runner!" He yelled back to Glitch, smirking darkly as the enjoyment of just shooting at the small spot. IT was good to get anger out on something, and for Onyx; that took the form of some energy release. Literally.

"Hurry und fickt viss zhe machine! Eef I get heet viss one more painball, i vill keel somevon!" He yelled, narrowing his eyes and rolling his shoulder back and groaning a little in pain. Still shooting small blasts of dark matter energy in balls at the targeted - now black - area of grass. He didn't care about the grass. It would grow back. Oh well.

[Hemlock]

'I got her once, no saying I can't get her again!' Kris thought happily still happily chuckling at the reaction Lurai had playing over and over in his head. That was one of his best moments in class yet. "Thats what you think!" He laughed, grinning madly and giving her a little bit of time to catch herself again before he had the chance to get her off guard.

Once she was safely secure again in running around Hemlock attempted a different technique. Closing the walls in on her. The typical horror movie cliche. He couldn't help but grin at the though. If he could pull that off it would be so cool.

"Beware wolf girl. Don't think your out of the woods yet!" He said with a chuckle. Looking hard at the hedge maze he tried to visualize the walls closing in on her. His way of seeing the action in his head to perform it was always so much more colourful. "See if you can get out of this!" He yelled to her, bringing the walls in to the sides of her and above her as fast as was possible for him.

[Iceman]

Keeping his arms around her for a minute, Bobby smiled at her softly and brought her close to hug her. He was always rather affectionate and Lorelai was special to him. "Aw Lorelai, I know you went through a lot, and I'm not gonna tell you what you gotta do. But I gotta at least tell you this: to be on any side of Rumble's is dangerous. You seen first hand how he treats people on his good side," He said thinking of the way Rumble treated Ember. "We may both be cold, but it ain't worth being cold towards life. People make mistakes, I make them and so do you. It ain't fair of either of us to hold them against others when they make it too."

Bobby leaned back and put a finger under her chin to tip it up so he could look her in the eye. "Do what you have to, but I'll be here for you okay? You can always come to me if your in trouble and I'll do everything I can to help you. Watch yourself," he said seriously for a moment before he winked at her and grinned letting her step out of his embrace, his hand falling off the small of her back.

"Now come on, I gotta be the teacher and teach ya the ways of the Ice Jedi, young Padawan. Let's try those heavy turns. I'm not much of a skater, but I can surf like nothing else," he said with a big grin and formed an ice slide again, demonstrating for her how he did all the tricks and curves. "I just pretend I'm riding the waves!" Bobby yelled and indeed looked like he was riding a wave with the way he moved. "Don't think of this as an ice slide, just pretend you're skateboarding and nail the turns and dips the same way you would on a skateboard. I'll catch you if you fall, don't worry. Catching pretty girls has always been a hobby of mine." Bobby slid back to the ground so he could be under her and puffed his chest out importantly and then let out a laugh.

[Glitch]

The random blasts from Onyx did the trick, keeping the machines' attention off of Dante. The few times that he caught their attention, it was never for long and he could take a few hits. His feet pounded the grass as he ran and ducked as many of the paint balls as he could. Dante knew to protect his head so he wouldn't get a concussion, or one major headache from being pelted with theses things. Either way, he still felt them whenever he saw that the guns targeted him and moved so his arm would get hit. Come on German, you can do better.

With some stroke of luck, the guy somehow managed to do a really good job keeping the machines attention. Dante found the nook in that he was looking for and when close enough, he dove to the ground. Without missing a beat he rolled underneath the shooting guns and his hands went right to the two closest machines. Instantly the machines began to spark and sputter, making noises as everything inside became fried as the KFC chicken. Sometimes it still amazed him that he could do this stuff. Dante never thought twice, he just did it like it it was natural. He rolled over and did the same thing to the next machines, the effects similar as they died, sounds of backfiring machinery filled the air. Rolling again and crawling to the remaining machines that Onyx kept busy, they died all the same the second that he touched them.

When the last machine sparked its last spark as the inside went completely fried, Dante let out a large sigh and dropped his hand on the ground. He was covered in bruises and paint, and he'd only been at the school for about 5 hours now. "Finally," he muttered and stood up. He grabbed the water dampened towels that were behind the chair and used one to wipe the paint off this head and out of the little that got in his hair. He walked over to Onyx and tossed him the other one so he could wipe himself off as well. "Nice job man. I'm gonna be feeling this uh class for awhile,"Dante said and took off the suit and tossed the protective goggles on top of the suit. He walked over to grab his leather jacket that was safe behind the tree and put it on. Walking back over to Onyx, he spied the others doing their thing and almost smirked at the sight of Kat in a pit of honey licking herself. "What now then?" he asked Onyx still looking around at the other students.

Ricki had caught Gavin by surprise when she grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him down, but he was loving it. He started cracking up when she tickled him. "HEY! No haahahaha Stop this is, hhaahaa TORTURE! RAPE!" Gavin yelled still laughing before he found his hands and tickled her back, going right for her sides and stomach. "Take that!" he yelled, at this point both of them were on the ground and he rolled over to get the upper hand and tickled her right back. "You're a cheater and therefore you LOSE! HA!" Gavin tickled her until she could barely breath from laughing and then he let up, rolling over and collapsing on the ground, still laughing. "You play dirty Rubber girl, I like it!" Gavin said with a laugh and looked over at her with a grin.

"So now we just decked that challenge, cause you are a CHEATER. Na its cool we did our part, we're done," he said and waved over at Iceman to point to the defeated pair lying on the ground. "Iceman! We're done, she tried to kill me!" he yelled and then laughed pushing Ricki over. "Seriously you oughta hang out with Sky more, I like you better like this," Gavin said and winked at her. "I didn't get a chance to ask you before but you okay with Torri being switched out and all?" Gavin asked her looking at her carefully.

He knew how attached they became and since they were both lying on the ground dirty and out of breath and they were allowed to chill out after challenges anyways. Ricki was a close friend, and Gavin liked to be sure all was good with her. They came to the school at the same time and pretty much learned the ropes together. Plus she was his teammate and that had another bond for the two of them. He wanted to be sure she was cool.

[Taffy]

"Oh Croft - AHAHAHAHAHA, NO OW- THAT TICKLES, OW- OH-CAN'T-BREATHE-OH-MY-GOD-OKAY-OKAY-YOU-WIN-OW" Ricki shrieked over the top of her voice, giggling like hell as Gavin finally rolled off, Oh freaking hell - deep breaths, thats it, c'mon, deeeeeep breaths. Ricki tried to catch her breath back, continuing to giggle randomly in the middle of it all. It took Taffy a second to realize how much she'd missed out on in a way - but to be honest, she did miss Torri a little bit. Her cuteness, and her innocent comments always seemed to amuse Ricki somehow. Ricki shook the thought off - she wasn't going to think about it. No- she wasn't.

"I did not try to kill him. I swear! HE WAS CHUCKING LEAVES AT ME! It was self defense!" she called out in Iceman's direction, and innocent look taking over her face as she turned around to look at Gavin, grinning in turn. Her giggles faded to an end, "I don't really know..." she replied honestly, "I mean, I miss her - but I kinda like just being able to be carefree, and not having to think about caring for her all the time? - Y'know? I mean, I know that sounds kinda mean... but, well... yeah..." Ricki shrugged slightly, as she pushed herself off the ground, and brushed some leaves and twigs tht were now stuck to her uniform off.

"Eurgh. I'll have to wash my hair again! I just washed it yesterday!" she added, playfully narrowing her eyes in Gavin's direction to break the slightly silent mood that had taken over. She bit her lip, her hands picking up some dirt off the ground before she let out a bit of an audible gasp, "Ouch - wait, there's something in your hair - eurgh, is that a BUG? Eww - lemme get it out - one sec-" she moved her hand which had the dirt in it towards his hair and dropped the sand in, ruffling it in his hair to make sure it spread a bit. "That was for calling me a cheater - just payback yeah." she added with a wink, before she let out another giggle and jumped up, brushing the dirt and stones off her trousers and torso.

[TuneUP]

Sean smiled at Tia and picked his little contraption back up. "Well I think we can try this another way maybe to make it a little easier. Kevin, can you try and make a larger boomerang or something like it so we won't have one spinning all over the place?" he asked Kevin smiling how excited he got getting into this whole thing. "I'm thinking that if Tia here lifts up my little contraption here first and get the swing of things, than Kevin you can throw yours in and it will sorta ride in the wind with mine and it would put a little less strain on Tia," Sean said picturing it in his mind on how it would work. He liked thinking up ideas like this that would make things work when it seemed like they couldn't.

"What to you think Tia? You think you can handle that? Last thing I or Kevin wanna do is strain you when you can't handle it?" he asked Tia with a kind calm smile. His eyes moved for her to his Katie girl and smiled at her, giving her a little wave. He didn't like that she was with that Rumble guy with Iceman far off, but he was comforted by the fact that he wasn't targeting his little lady. Either way, Sean kept an eye on her and on Rumble as well, just in case.

"We can take this at your pace Tia, make us a nice strong breeze to get it up and then make a pretty little pattern. Just say when, and I'll throw this baby up," he said to her with a smile and readied at her signal to bring it up in the air so she can catch it with her wind and keep it in the air.

[Calorie]

"AhHAHAHAHA!" Kelly roared with laughter at the hot goth girl getting stuck in the pit of honey. "Oh man I rock! HAHHAA... OH! Oh man, chicks wrestling in a pit of honey, I'm a GENIUS!" he said looking like a light bulb just turned on in his head. He was quite excited by the prospect of his idea, and turned around to look at Brock and also to yell to Iceman. "HEY BROCK, BOBBY! CHICKS WRESTLING IN A PIT OF HONEY! WE GOTTA MAKE THAT HAPPEN!" he yelled at the top of his lungs before cracking up again.

He looked back at the obstacle course, his eyes glued to the goth girl in the pit of honey. "Man that's hot..." Kelly trailed off for a minute before he shook himself out of it. "And wolf boy wins! Mutated rabbit and hot goth chick covered in honey FAIL!" he yelled and grinned proudly at his works of trickery. Everyone had at least one part of them covered in food, making Kelly quite proud of himself as he made the food littered everywhere turn into water so he wouldn't get yelled at again for not cleaning up. A devious idea spread in the head of one Kelly Burns as he looked at the goth girl stuck in a pit of honey. "Uh don't worry hot goth chick, I'll get you out." The pit of honey she stood in turned into ice cold water. "WET T-SHIRT PARTY!" Kelly yelled and grinned widely, his eyes going right to her nipples. He was no amateur, he made the water ice cold so he got a nice sight of her nipples poking through her shirt. Kelly was quite the evil, goofy, and horny genius with ideas such as this one.

[StormHawk]

Gavin's mouth dropped open when she put dirt in his hair. "Did you just put dirt in my hair? Oh hell no, that's it you brought this all on yourself." He sat up and before Ricki realized what happened, he grabbed her, flung her over his shoulder and took off with her high in the air. He held her legs tight so she wouldn't fall as he flew her high above the trees and in the open sunny sky, laughing the whole time. He flew her high up in the air over the campus, twirling her in the air and making them go in loops in the air. Gavin was cracking up the whole time at her reaction and kept her high in the air so she wouldn't be able to stretch to any of the trees and flying fast against the wind.

"Carefree or not YOU Ricki Day are a dirty, dirty, MEAN GIRL!" he yelled and flew them high over the lake. Below he saw Ian, Niki, and Hotwire in the water and Ember sitting in a canoe not far off. "That means." Gavin moved Ricki down so she was no longer over his shoulder in the air but was level with him as he held her tightly against him with his arms around her body. "That we gotta clean you up!" He laughed and flew a little higher before turning sharply down and headed for a dive right into the lake. "HOLD ON!" Gavin yelled as they went right into a dive toward the lake at high speed. His wings were back and tucked low as the wind hit them in their faces, the lake coming closer and closer.

"WAAHOOO!" he yelled and closed his eyes as the two of them dove right into the lake with a big splash, enveloping both of them. Gavin opened his eyes in the water and grinned at the slightly blurry version of Ricki. He let her out of his hold but grabbed her hand when he turned to kick up to the surface. He was a pretty good swimmer even with his wings, and this warmer than average day seemed like the perfect time for a swim. His head popped up at the surface and he grinned at all the waves he created, waving at Ian and Niki who weren't that far away. "Hey guys! Ricki was dirty so we thought we'd drop in!" Gavin said with a laugh and swam a bit away from Ricki playfully. "And no amount of water will clean her," he said sticking his tongue out at her and laughing.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai had to laugh a little at Iceman as he puffed his chest out. She nodded anyway and started an ice slide and went up, figuring it as if she were on her skateboard instead of ice as she made turns and did a somewhat wide U-turn before trying out one of the heavy turns Iceman wanted her to try. This time she wasn’t going to say anything as it was what made her fall in the first place, and she slid the way she should’ve when she made the slide go downward and back up as in a halfpipe, bending her knees slightly while sliding down and back up, straightening them at the bottom of the curve. She found it actually was easier to really think about it as skateboarding and she slalomed back and forth before sliding back down, coming down pretty fast. Although she was a good skater and could handle herself pretty well, something she always had a problem with was coming down steep hills and trying to stop. She would always jump off her board and stumble a couple of steps before being cool again, and it was the same here. When the slide touched the ground she jumped off and stumbled a couple steps onto the grass before catching her footing again.

“Whoa, hey look I did it,” she said to Iceman with a grin and then smirked. “Sorry there was nothing to catch this time, maybe if you make it really challenging I might fall over again and you’ll have something to catch,” she joked with a laugh. She hadn’t expected to be held onto for that long by him, especially because he was a teacher. Every teacher she had known was never touchy feely, and rarely did they ever hug their students or ever be as comforting as Iceman was. It was an odd feeling having been hugged by him, but she did hug him back. It was good to know that he had her back as much as he said he did, and it made her feel better to know he would be if everything came crashing down around her. Of course it was something she hoped wouldn’t happen, but there was no way of saying it would or wouldn’t; only time would tell.

“And uh, thanks. I’m glad to know you’re there if I need you to be. You’re probably the first teacher I’d go to if something was wrong, which is sorta weird in itself cause I normally don’t go to teachers when I have problems..either I talk to my friends or figure it out myself so yeah,” Lorelai said, one corner of her mouth slanting slightly, whether it was a smile or something else she wasn’t sure. “So how’d I do this time? Anything to fix next time I try again? I know there’s the stumbling thing but that happens even when I skateboard. Go figure I can manage enough balance to do tricks, but I’m still pretty clumsy in general. Funny, huh?” she asked with a little laugh, crossing her arms lightly over her front as she waited for her next task.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker grinned wolfishly at Kat staring at her in the freezing cold water and the lovely nubs that came out to attention. "Aye tis be ungentlemanly of me to leave a lass cold in the water all by her lonesome self," he said with a smirk and walked over to pull her out of the water. "Ya look a wee bit cold there lass." Riker looked right down at her chest and his smirk grew wider and more wolfish.

He went to hand her a towel but kept moving it out of her reach whenever she tried to grab for it just so he could get a bit more of a show. Riker only stopped when he heard screaming above him. He looked up and squinted, seeing Gavin and Ricki high in the air and then watched as they dove down. He couldn't see where they landed by sight but he heard a big splash and Ricki shrieking. "Now that looked bloody fantastic," he said with a laugh and contemplated for a moment. The day was really warm, they were headed for a warm front for mid spring and at that moment Riker was quite hot.

"Oui Iceman! Since I won, I think I be going for a swim!" he yelled with a big grin on his face. "Ya look good wet lass, ya should join," he said to Kat with a wink and then took off his shirt, tossing it on top of one of the jumping blocks. "Tis a great day for a swim and a bloody race. There be a wet t-shirt contest for ya Burns!" Riker yelled and took off running toward the lake. He loved the water and this was perfect weather for a swim.
