Just as those that were at Annihilo said, the first day for D Drag Academy had come at last. All the students from all over the Dragon Clan who passed the entrance exams were pouring in. With them came along all the transfer students that were enrolled thanks to the Exchange Pact made by the clans of Colossaverse I. As most would think, D Drag is legitimately built like that of a castle, a castle made to look similar to a Chinese palace. Boasting more than 10,000 classrooms for well over 100,000 students of different ages. One must be at least 12 years of age to enter, and most are the age of 20 by the time they graduate. This academy doesn't discriminate, so even Mortals and Non-mortals may enter amongst the Gods. And it would seem the young God Morpheus has finally made his way into the front doors of D Drag.
Morpheus: (Seems I still got 20 mins until my first class begins. Cool, but man, I've got quite the schedule here.)
(Morpheus Senkozen Schedule: A Day
C Grade student #10

Morpheus: "Damn, and this is only the A-block day. I still got my B Day and C Day schedules to look at and get through. Sure is gonna be one hell of a year. Eh, whatever. I'm finna play this music and grab a snack."
Morpheus cut through the crowd of students he had poured in with and made his way for the social area. Here, students can find an abundance of clubs to join that's active year around. There's a bunch of food stands one can visit in order to quench their hunger and thirst. And of course no social area is complete without a plethora of areas to go to in order to hang out, do work for an upcoming class, enter contests and find out what's new around the Academy. There's much more, but it seems Morpheus has already gotten his Dracoberry shake and some buttered dragontail sandwiches.
Morpheus: "This should do until Lunch Break is under way. Mhm, wow, that's a damn good shake. *Munch* Time to go find my boy, Zoshen."
Morpheus heads towards the social areas to see if he can find Zoshen, son of the King, Zo'Elgor I. And younger brother to Zo'Elgor II. The young assassin we met earlier.
???: "Yo Mooooorpheus!!?"
Morpheus: (Now who the hell could this be?) Ahu… huh!? Is that my man, Malikai!?"
Malikai: "Yo, yo… yoooo. What's up and down, my brotha. Have you been coo my guy? It's good to see you in our clan finally."
Morpheus: "Hell yeah, brotha man. This place is humongous. It's about as fascinating as Warren Warmen's Academy."
Malikai: "Indeed brotha indeed."
*Clap* *FWIP* *Clap* *Clap* *Fist Bump* *Snap*
Morpheus: "Hand shake stays crisp."
Malikai: "Hahaaaa! Indeed, my guy, indeed. So, were you looking for Zo?"
Morpheus: "Hell yeah."
Malikai: "Ah, good. He should be with Amera, which is where I'm headed."
Morpheus: "Pshh… ni- ma-Mannn say less. Let's move to their location."
Malikai: "Indeed, my guy, let's go then, brotha."
Mailkai and Morpheus leave the Social Areas to go near their homeroom of the day. That's where they'd find Amera and Zo. And if you're wondering about these young lads, well wonder no more. Malikai reigns from the Dragon clan. Malikai is actually a half breed whose father comes from the Black Hole Imp Clan found in Quadrant IV. He's 5'5 with big horns sitting atop his head. His hair was long and a pinkish color. And his skin was that of a light shade of brown. While his eyes were black with golden pupils.
Now, within the hustle and bustle of D Drag's halls were Zoshen and Amera, waiting on their two procrastinating friends to arrive. They weren't very pleased with the wait because class was about to get underway. Most would prefer to NOT be late on their first day. Go figure… seems as though the 2 prodigies would have nothing to worry about. Or so they would think.
Malikai: "Yo, Zooooo and Ameraaaa! How y'all been man?!"
Amera: "Grrrrr."
Zoshen: "Woah there Amera, calm down now. You can get back at him during Combat training."
Amera: "Uuuugh. Fine, I'll hold my temper…. But since you're the one who convinced me to hold back. You'll also have to be the one to compensate."
Zoshen: "Ah, yeah, that's fine. I don't mi- … Wait a damn minute now! I'm not trying to come out my pock-"
Amera: "I need some of that new Dracolis(Dray•cole•list) Butter Bread."
Zoshen: "BRUH! That's waaaaaay too expensive… Amera! Ameraaaaa, come ooooonnnnn Ugh! Damn… whatever!"
Malikai: "You all good, my guy."
Zoshen: "Yeah, but my pocket ain't." *Sniffle*
Morpheus: "Pffft, she robbed your silly butt yet again, my guy. I feel for you….*Chuckle* PFFFFFTT!! Boy, you stay letting her get you!"
Zoshen: "Aye man, shut u-uh… uh WHAT!? My boy Morpheus is here!? And this man's toting an open, crop top-style long sleeve… D-Drag edition, of course. You even got the sweatpants and shoes to match with it. Oh yeaaaah, you're D-Drag'd out my mans."
Morpheus: "On my clan, you already know Zo. But I'm here due to the exchange program, same as Amera."
Zoshen: "Oh? Ok, ok, I see now. Our father's must've all chosen up on who they wanted to exchange."
Amera: "Yeah, my father held nothing back when telling me about the exchange. I honestly wasn't against it even one bit. I'm more excited to see you guys and learn more about the clan. I would've had to wait decades just to get permission to enter."
Malikai: "Yeah, y'all definitely lucked out. But we gotta get into our homeroom, y'all."
Morpheus: "Oh crap, you're right!"
Zo: "Yeah, but luckily for you two. Amera and I were already here. Just had to send out our signal and get y'all attention. After all, we had to move from where we were before Malikai came and got you."
Morpheus: "Mhm, I see, I see. Well, let's get inside then. Ready to start this first day of the Academy."
Malikai: "Yep, yeeep."
Amera: "Let's go then…. Heathens."
Zoshen: "Yuuuuur."
And thus began their homeroom class as the first day of D Drag kicks off. Homeroom seemed to go by in a breeze, and Morpheus and Zoshen headed off to Dragon's History I. While Amera and Malikai head to their Cosmic Political Science 101 class.
Morpheus: "Bruh…"
Zoshen: (I fucking hate when he does that pause.) "U-uh…. What bruh?"
Morpheus: "You can't tell me ol' girl wasn't looking scrumptious in the front row."
Zoshen: "Bruh… stop talkin' to me. You're disrespecting my keen eye for the thick ones."
Morpheus: "Bru- I'M disrespectin'!? Naw that floppy wannabe bang hangin' over your eye almost, is disrespectin' you."
Zoshen: "Ooooh boooy, I know yo ass ain't talkin' with that rag-tag, wannabe super saiyan hair-style you got. Goku head ahh boa."
Morpheus: "Oof! My boy. Got. Jokes! Aaaah, my boy got jokes. But naw, you still look gimpy as I don't know what in those royal garbs."
Zoshen: "Eh, I won't deny that…. I still can knock down a lil female in a heartbeat."
Morpheus: "Boy we all can. But we're here at this damn History class. Let's go in."
Zoshen: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't likin' it anymore than you."
Thus began their first class of the day. To their surprise, the class had gone by quite quickly. And the 2 had split to go to their second classes of the day. And even more of a surprise… Morpheus actually dreads a class more than History. Quadratics.
(Blah blah blah blah blah… blah bla bl-blahblablin' blah)
Morpheus: "Uuuuuhhhhh…(Oh yeah. It's gonna be a looooong year. Amera I'm about to be the pest you never asked for.)
*BELL RINGS*
Morpheus: "Maaaan am I glad to be out of there. Fuckin' hell man."
(*Ding* *Dong* *Ding* *Dun* Students of Grade A-B, please begin your lunch break and resume to your scheduled class after the next bell. That is all.)
Morpheus: "Hmm… well off to Quantum Studies I go."
Morpheus heads to his Quantum Studies class and to his surprise, Amera was there. It was all too perfect to have the smartest person he knows in his class.
Morpheus: "Amera? (YES, Malikai would've been good. But AMERA!? This is all too perfect.)"
Amera: "Ah so we have this class and the next one together I'm guessing?"
Morpheus: "Wait, my next class is Draco Combat 101."
Amera: "Yeah and so is mine now take a seat. This is only an introduction to the course today. So it'll be a breeze then we're off to lunch."
Morpheus: "Ah, you're right. Alright that's cool then. Cause I'm plannin' to show out during Combat class today. That's my true and only important talent. But I take pride in my intellect as all my brothers before do. So I'll give the paper stuff my all as well."
Amera: "Glad to hear it. But you had better hope we don't end up against one another. I've been working my ass off."
Morpheus: "Well let's make it a quick lunch so we can stretch. All combat classes use duels as an introduction to the course."
*BELL RING*
All the students of 1st lunch pour into class as all the students of 2nd lunch begin to fill the cafeterias and social areas. Morpheus and Amera find themselves in another lick of fortune. Malikai and Zoshen both have 2nd lunch as well. And no surprise… they all have…
Morpheus: "Combat for your fourth class!?"
Zoshen: "Yuur."
Malikai: "Indeed."
Amera: "Well this'll be great then."
Morpheus: "Oh… most indubitably my good sirs and mad- OOF!!"
*Bump*
???: "Aye, aye aye! Get ya lil ass out my way, brah."
???: "Yo Zelibus! Chill, man, he's new to the Draaaaag."
Zelibus: "Oh yeah?"
???: "Yah."
Zelibus: "Ju'Mosi… no one gives a flying fuck. The lil prick has Combat class next… just like us maaan."
Ju'Mosi: "Ah man, that don't make it no better, brah."
Zelibus: "Yeah whatever. See you there chump."
Morpheus: "Oh… most definitely."
Zoshen: "Tch! That bitch always messing with the new guys."
Malikai: "When all you got to offer is power, this is the result. He's, but a brute with an ego to boot. Only thing is… the bitch can fight."
Amera: "Yeah… but so can we."
Morpheus: "I'm Gahwardian… need I say more?"
Zoshen: "You say that as if our clan doesn't rival yours."
Morpheus: "Just watch when we get to class… brah."
Amera: (Over-)
Malikai: (Confident...)
Zoshen: (Prick.)
2nd lunch ends in a flash and the gang head for combat class where Zoshen sees quite the familiar face as the instructor.
Zoshen: "No. Fucking. Way."
Malikai: "Pfffft! Bruh, why is she our… teacherrrrr~hahahahahaaaa!!!"
Amera: "Uuuuhh…"
Morpheus: "What's going on?"
*Step* *Step*
???: "Those of you who call the Dragon Clan your one and only home are probably well versed on who I am."
Zoshen: "Welp… I'm going to have to put in extra work with her as our instructor."
Malikai: "Yep."
Amera: "Uuuuhhhh…"
Morpheus: "Still confused."
???: "And for those of you who don't know meee! I am THEEE, eldest child of King Zo'Elgor Viestor Von Draccen Draconos I. I am well versed in the Draco hand to hand arts as well as a retired Royal Demolisher. You know me as Zo'Elaniece Viosur Von Drago Draconos. But here?!... You… will callll me. Madame Elaniece and nothing more! Are we clear!?"
Class: "Yes, Madame Elaniece!"
Morpheus: "Hmm… (Well would you look at that. Her power's pretty damn close to my Father's, meaning she's also almost as strong as her Father… or… thats what I'm assuming.)
Elaniece: "Good. As most would already know, Combat Class uses actual combat as its way of greeting. So we'll spend today's class making sure everyone fights at least once."
Zelibus: "Hrr hrnn."
Morpheus: "Hehe."
Class: "Yeeaaaaahhh!!!"
Elaniece: "Hahahaaaa! I love the enthusiasm, class. But today will be hand to hand, and I've already gotten a request."
Amera: "Hmm… I wonderrr."
Malikai: "I suspect the same thing."
Zoshen: "Yeah, that bitch Zelibus definitely…"
Elaniece: "It seems our own B-class student, Zelibus. Well, he tells me that he would like to challenge the exchange student, Morpheus. I have approved this match."
Zelibus: "Hehee!"
The class erupts into a mighty roar as they burst with excitement at the match. Most were truly only excited to get to see Zelibus fight early on.
Morpheus: "Well, we all expected this. Like I said before… I'll crush him AND the rest. That includes you guys. I'm a Gahwardian after all."
Zoshen: "Tch! Still thinking that means a damn thing here huh? Foolish."
Morpheus: "And again I say. Just… watch."
Morpheus and Zelibus enter the arena's center as they prepare for battle. Morpheus stood at a solid 5'9, while… Zelibus was an astounding 6'10. A whole foot taller than Morpheus and cased in Emerald clad dragon scales. He had spikes sticking out from his shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles and even his heels. His physique was that of a built, yet slim body builder. His hair was white and spiked up and he wore a D Drag robe with baggy combat pants underneath.
Zelibus: "I'll crush your small ass like a twig. And set an example for these twerps and pushovers."
Morpheus: "Yeah… we'll see."
Zelibus: "Hmmph!"
Elaniece: "You may begin!"
*DOONG*
Zelibus: "Kyaaaaaaaaaa!"
Morpheus: "Hehehe!"
Zelibus opens up with a gruesome, rapidly thrown jab. Morpheus allows the jab to touch him as he smoothly swings around the massive fist.
Zelibus: "Haa! Cheeky bastard, aren't ya?"
Morpheus: "But of course."
Zelibus: "Then how's this!?"
Zelibus follows up with a right hook kick. Morpheus again, let's the blow touch him then smoothly sways to the opposite side of the direction the kick is going.
Zelibus: "Ngh!? (Again!? What the hell is he doing!?)"
Morpheus: "Stop disrespecting me with these low level moves."
Zelibus: *Thump* (What the… wh-what the hell was that!?) *FWIP*
Zelibus: "Hnn. Haa. Hmm. Hyaa. (For a second, I felt as if I lost consciousness.)
Morpheus: "Your speed isn't all that, bruh." *PEW*
Ju'Mosi: "I thought so. Clarence, can you see it?"
Clarence: "Yeah, Ju. That guy's leagues above Zelibus and no one here knows it. Even after that."
Ju'Mosi: "It's cause Zel isn't serious yet… but that means nothing in the face of one of the gates."
Amera: "Huh? A… Gate!?"
Zoshen: "Leagues above Zelibus!? One of the Gates!? I always thought the guy was just a younger brother to my Big bro's subordinate."
Ju'Mosi: "Naw, naw naw little ones. That there is a…"
Zelibus: "I'll crush you!"
Zelibus rushes in at speeds greater than lightning itself. He threw himself into a rapid, triple, back kick barrage.
Morpheus: "Arrogant. I told you… "
Zelibus: "Huh!?"
Amera: (What the!?)
Morpheus: "Death's Blissful Entrance."
Morpheus enters his own spin attack as he releases three quick jabs. Each one hits a different joint on Zelibus' leg. Right after, he releases a quintuple kick combo with a single strike hitting each leg and arm. And a finishing blow to the center of Zelibus' Head.
Malikai: "Well then."
Zoshen: "Guess he had a reason to be cocky. (And he was holding back majorly.)"
Amera: "He's… strong."
Ju'Mosi: "Well, yeah. After all, that's Morpheus Senkozen. The Gate of Strife.
*THUD*
Morpheus makes a great impression as he downs one of the toughest students in his class. The Gate of Strife has made his Debut! Only 24 days or fewer remain until Death's revival!!!
