JOURNEY'S BEGINNING
PART II: SIDETRACKED
...
Marcos started to jog, constantly checking up on Xavier, who was dawdling behind. Xavier seemed to be sightseeing and taking in his surroundings, lost in the grand nature of the BA ETS. As all the tourists did
You should know you are not a good tour guide. Is this your first time? Look Zavier, I've got a lot of other things on my mind. Right now. You can check up on the maps afterward to get around.
It looks like we're almost Oh no, Marco exclaimed in fright.
....
Hey, one piece. Look, it's Brainiac, and he's got a new friend with him. Six Peter would one piece and point.
Xavier had a feeling those guys were bad news because they were the first people they'd run into. Done, Happy to meet you. Yeah, even gotten. Even got him to frown. That's new. Savior said to himself.
Michael put Savior onto a different path and was running instead of jogging this time. Luckily for Michael, Zavia followed right behind without. Any hindrance
Alright, quick detour. We are off to another gym but closer to the air-elevated classroom blocks. I need to be in class right about now. Away from disposals.
Xavier looked back and the two bozos were chasing after them. Alright, what's ideal? Xavier asked, but Marco nodded entirely. There was a ringing tone in the air.
That was a 10-minute all-out. So what I need you. To do Zavier is to take the second left turn. Once we veer off right and reach the junction, the siren is going to rank five more times. The last would be to dismiss school. The final bill will run the value back at the same gym you specified on the plan. Marco, why are you running? We just want to congratulate you. We could take you to Victor to say hi. He'd love that.
Marco and Xavier took the right turn but still appears the US was catching up. Oh, why are we running? We can take these guys down together. Seriously.
No low profile, remember? They can't get me in class. And they won't find you at the gym. I'm not getting moved by the one-piece. On my last day of school,
Savior broke off a moment later, to the left. Before the pieces could make their turn on Marco's path,. They were best through their gym doors. He shot them behind himself as silently as he possibly could. He looked through the windows and watched as the bozos ran past. Police savior touch.
Xavier checked out the gymnasium and walked around every length and breadth of the room. It was empty except for supplies, equipment, and furniture. He sat on the bleachers and set his bag down. He pulled out his map and murmured to himself. Time to find. These statues complete the riddle
Once kept with the others
The gift of true powers. The next line in the idolized hands of our new gods
Seek the answer. Ask the one who notes
The stone awaits
Knows all our fates
It looks like my face is set in stone. The difference is that I can change it.

Last-Day Jitters
After the first period was over, the siren rang for the second time. On that day, the kids had a 15-minute break. Would begin. Marco and Johal were walking down the student's hallway to their respective lockers. As they talked, Marcus explained everything that went down yesterday, including their final battle test. Victor's defeatist, early dismissal, his strange account of their late-night attack, and the guest's confession.
It sounds like your home just got a lot more interesting.
And dangerous. My parents were really mad. We all could have gotten hurt. That night, always he's bad news. So where is he now? To ask Marco. There was a short silence. We don't tell me he's here. You brought bad news along with you for school. What if he turned on us? Heads. Any of our friends, or anyone else for that matter
I know. I just didn't want to miss all this. Besides, he's a danger to everyone in the human nation the longer he stays here. The vampires that come for him. The other nights had killer intents. My parents said they'd speak with the elders after work today.
I hope your parents send him back where he belongs. It's strange how recently we have had so many creature problems. first day of Snow Vampires
Wait, what do you say about my parents? Marcos asked, concerned about his friend. Former statement
or that your parents would have to send him back today and BN? That's the protocol now, since the CLES are shorthanded at the moment. The elders. You may recruit a small team to help your parents since they are already veterans themselves and can handle such a mission.
I'm not sure about that. Mama and Papa are getting old and too rusty. For such a task, there are so many problems
So where is he exactly?
in the gymnasium? Yeah, I know. Bad place to hide this fella. I thought it through and came to this realization later.
Yeah, that place is busiest during the second and third periods due to skill development, practice, and lessons. You might have to search the school for him later on
Not necessary. I have an idea of where he might be. So what about you? What's up? I can't believe they discharged you last night. Are you okay? Next time?
Yeah. I didn't sustain any permanent injuries. All my wounds and minor fractures were taken care of by the nurses. The only anomaly was the sharpness; I fell into this line.
Marco and John. Run into? Yeah, a friend. A group of friends.
Hey guys, what's popping? This whole day's going to be special. I wouldn't miss it for the world. We're finally graduating
I'm sure Marcus is more focused on the price. Given ceremony in the second period when your other dudes step down the ladder. Appearance. Literally. Keep asking how we are letting a single guy talk the whole class every time, Marco chuckled at her comments.
Now uh. You know very well that our little slip-up from Marco and Stephanie is back on top again. You girls just can't handle the fact that your top girl lost all her mojo and is made man. Marco is now willing. Ruling Alpha. There was a momentary silence as the group felt. A wave of awkwardness rushed through, apparently as you were talking. He was gradually raising his voice. Now everyone was staring. Poor John. He lost control for a bit, Michael thought.
I'm sure Joe is more concerned about the prom. At Ted. One of the girls I drew up casually. Julia got awkward.
Hey, Joe already invited me to be his prom date Quote: The other girl smacked her friend on the head.
There are bound to be some late-minute decisions that everyone is entitled to. She smacked her friend back and continued right to her. So I. The First girl was fresh, infuriated, and smacked her this time and the two. I had a row of snacks. Some guys came in to break it up while Johan Michael silently walked past.
Alright ladies, I'll get back to you later. Can you believe that Michael, Michael, or Stephanie are here? He stopped putting his friend. When he realized what he was staring so hard at. Harry, go ask out.
What? Are you serious? I'm getting through that
Dude. You've been getting to that for weeks now. No pressure, just go do it
How come you give the worst advice when it comes to relationships? What's your literal playboy?
Hey, remember, I said. I don't like being referred to as a Playboy, just a guy with a lot of short-term relationships. Look. She's coming this way. Say hi. I'm beginning already
Stefani was late and was clumsily making it through the whole week scouring for her locker. She was panting and leaning on the door. Handle and didn't even know this macro approach here.
Hey, Michael said to her next line.
Oh, hey Marco, Did I miss everything already?
