[b]OOC:[/b] Sorry it took me so long, B. It's kinda simple but I really wanted to get it up, especially since Matt kept bugging me >.> But yah, let me know if I need to change anything, k? [COLOR=Navy]Kain sighed heavily as he sat against a wall, hands cuffed behind his back. He stared at the guard who stood outside of his cell watching him for any acts of hostility. He sneered and turned his face away, staring blankly out the window on the other side of the ship, looking as nothing but emptiness drifted by. He was dressed in a horribly thin and ugly looking jumpsuit that hung off his lithe frame. The silverish blue costume was uncomfortable and cold especially in the emptiness of space. He sighed, resting his head back against the wall as he thought about what had happened. How had everything changed so quickly? [i]Flashback?[/i] [b]?Next!?[/b] the judge called as the person before him was lead away shouting and crying. Kain had heard that he was being sent to a mine for the rest of his life. Kain grimaced and shrugged the hands off that attempted to shove him forward. He threw them a glare and walked to the stand himself, head high. If he had to do this, he?d do it with his dignity intact. His eyes shone with discontent while he stood to face the judge. [b]?Kain Mason, is it true that you have been fraternizing with women? Conspiring with them against your own planet?!?[/b] the man announced regally. [b]?No. I wasn?t conspiring. Our colony is about peace between genders!?[/b] he expressed, voice firm and gaze unwavering. [b]?Liar! You admit you have been living with females. Your crime is fraternization with the enemy and treason against Rasm.?[/b] Kain glared at the judge as he looked down upon him. [b]?Bastard! It isn?t a crime! We?re just seeking peace, why can?t you understand that?!?[/b] his anger getting the best of him. But it was only because the judge was being narrow-minded. [b]?Nonsense, the two genders will NEVER co-exist peacefully. Your punishment is to be transported to a high security battleship.?[/b] [b]?We CAN live peacefully together, our colony is proof of that!?[/b] [b]?Guards! Take him away. Next!?[/b] he waited for the next person to come forward to be sentenced. [b]?No! You can?t do this!?[/b] Kain fought against the hands that grabbed at him. The backs of his knees were hit powerfully with a nightstick, making his legs buckle as they dragged him off. It was then that he had been forced to change into the prison suit and board the transport vessel to take him to the ship. [i]End Flashback?[/i] Kain?s eyes narrowed at the memory. Why couldn?t anyone understand? After bugging his guards a plenty, he discovered the name of the battleship he would be assigned to, the Obsession. [i][b]?Hmph, interesting name for a ship?I wonder if anyone else from the colony will be there?? [/b][/i] he pondered, hoping at least one person he knew would be assigned there too so he wouldn?t feel so alone when arriving. Then he thought about his fighter, wondering what would happen to it. Silently he hoped that it would be transferred to the Obsession so she could use it, if that?s the job he?d be given. He had grown attached to it and couldn?t imagine fighting in another machine than [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/Strike_Freedom_Gundam.jpg] [b]Freedom[/b][/url] (AKA VKR-007). The name represented its purpose, to make freedom possible between the two opposing genders. He sighed again, mind drifting to the other members of the colony that had been captured as well during the raid. The raid had been a couple of days ago, where armies from both planets had stormed the colony, capturing everyone of their gender. They had all been cuffed and shoved together onto cramped transport vessels to be taken back to their home planets. There had been several casualties as armies of opposite planets didn?t care about those of the other gender. Kain shuddered, remembering some of his female friends getting shot down by the Rasm army, and some of his own friends being slaughtered by the Svunes. As he was lost in thought, time passed quickly. He was snapped out of his daze by the guard banging his nightstick against the bars of his cell noisily. He glared and got to his feet silently, knowing that soon he?d never see the guard again. The other guard came forward, unlocking the door to the cell while the other grabbed Kain?s arm, dragging him out. While he had been submerged in thoughts and memories, the vessel had docked at the Obsession, and now Kain was being taken out. His face remained emotionless but he was anxious as to what would become of him on the ship.

[SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] Hope you don't mind Jamie but I think I'll play Sasuke again. If it ends up that you need me to play a Genin/Chuunin let me know. I shall edit the Snippet shortly. When I think of one...^^; [B]EDIT:[/B] Finally completed. It's not very good because I'm tired and at Uni, but I quite like it. It's better than the other ideas I tried. [COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Uchiha Sasuke [B]Age:[/B] 19 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3003/sasukehalfbutterflytd1.jpg][B]Sasuke[/B][/URL]. He wears a pair of gloves and shirt like the one in the picture, without the cape-like cloth and with the Uchiha symbol on the back, black or navy blue pants that are slightly baggy, and a pair of ninja specialised combat boots, with soles that allow chakra control through the feet. [B]Rank:[/B] Jounin [B]Personality:[/B] Sasuke has changed quite a bit since he was younger; he isn't quite as cold as he used to be, though still quite arrogant and conceited. He is still popular in Konoha, both from being extremely smart when younger, and because of when he ran away from Konohagakure in search of power. Sasuke still remains quiet, not bothering to talk to people if he knows it's not worth his time or effort. He still isn't very social, but he's made friends with all the others that he knew when younger; ie. the members and extension of the Rookie Nine. He's one of the more powerful Jounin and he carries that power confidently. He isn't afraid to humiliate anyone if they make a mistake because he knows that in a proper situation, it could cost them their life and the lives of their team. Sasuke prefers to take charge of situations rather than take orders because he feels that he knows a lot better than others, especially with help from his Sharingan. Whenever he's given a mission, he gets it done no matter what, he prides himself in being a reliable Jounin and the jobs are done properly and on time. [B]Equipment:[/B] As a Jounin, Sasuke carries all the different holders needed for different kinds of equipment. His [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/bombholster.jpg][B]holsters[/B][/URL] are on the back of his belt on the left side for easy access, he carries a few bombs, a couple of soldier pills, a reel of invisible string, exploding notes, and a bunch of throwing kunai with three regular kunai stabbed in his belt. Sasuke's [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/shurikenholster.jpg][B]shuriken holster[/B][/URL] is strapped to his right thigh and he carries two fuuma shuriken slipped in between the binding and his leg. Finally he has his [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/scrollholster.jpg][B]scroll pouch[/B][/URL] on the back of his belt, but on the right side so he can simply flick the carriers open to extract a scroll, he carries three jutsu scrolls, and fills the other compartments with missions and maps. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] As the last remaining member of the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke is the final natural user of the powerful eye condition known as Sharingan, and it is his most utilised ability. Most notably the Sharingan's most well known ability is to be able to memorize any technique that it has seen including nijutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu techniques. Other abilities of this very special eye include hypnosis, allowing its user to suggest actions and thoughts to the opponent. The Sharingan also has the very useful ability to see through any illusionary technique. Now that he's an adult, Sasuke has gotten full use of all the skills of Sharingan, having all three dots in both eyes. As a side note, he has gained Mangekyou Sharingan by a special technique Orochimaru cast on him while they were together. But even so he tries not to use it. As for his ninjutsu, Sasuke mainly uses the line of Katon jutsus passed down through the Uchiha line, being able to do all of them without exhausting all of his chakra. He uses other techniques that he's copied from others with Sharingan, along with his original taijutsu combinations like ShiShi Rendan, and techniques he was taught throughout all his years like Chidori. Two of the jutsu scrolls that he carries are actually Summoning scrolls. One of them is from Kakashi, the ability to summon Nindogs which he uses every so often when needed during missions. The other is one he received from Orochimaru, which is to summon Manda, the giant snake. Unlike Orochimaru, he doesn't have a tattoo as proof of his contract but still keeps the scroll. He tries not to use it unless he has to because he doesn't like being reminded of his time spent with the snake master. Sasuke continues to hold onto it so no one else can sign the contract and use Manda. Sasuke's secret weapon is the Cursed Seal that still remains on the nape of his neck toward his left shoulder, he has learnt how to control it properly and will only use it in dire situations, otherwise it remains dormant as a tattoo on his body. Sasuke's weapon of choice is a [URL=http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/8250/katana3py.jpg][B]katana[/B][/URL] (the blade's slightly longer) that's just tied to his back, hilt over his right shoulder, with dark navy blue wrapping around the hilt, and a matching sheath. The tsuba has three comma-like dots cut into it, spread around it evenly just like his Sharingan eyes, and the Uchiha fan is stamped deeply into the bottom of the weapon, inked deeply. He proudly displays the symbol of Konoha engraved on the metal just above the tsuba. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] [i]Sasuke ran through a dark, empty, stone corridor. His eyes were blood red with the Sharingan dots spinning furiously. His face was firmly set, determination and hatred shone brightly through his eyes. His teeth were bared, right arm coming up over his right shoulder and grasping the hilt of his katana. With a roar he unsheathed the weapon, swinging it out in front of him as he quickly approached the ending of the corridor. [b]?Itachi!?[/b] he shouted. A man that looked similar to Sasuke stood in front of him smirking. The only difference between the two was that the elder Uchiha was taller, with longer hair, and wearing a black cloak spotted with red clouds. [b]?Otouto. So you?ve come after me?Do you really think you?re ready to defeat me, Sasuke??[/b] Itachi?s voice was low and mocking. [b]?I?ll definitely defeat you this time!?[/b] Sasuke yelled, rushing forward, raising the katana over his shoulder. [b]?Foolish little brother.?[/b] he muttered, dodging the swift down swing and moving out of Sasuke?s range. The avenger pulled up, and gave chase, swinging wildly with his weapon, determined to damage his older brother. [b]?Your anger clouds your judgement. And because of that, you will lose this fight.?[/b] Itachi pronounced coldly. Sasuke?s glare deepened. He hated Itachi fervently. His goal since he was seven years old was to defeat him and avenge his clan. He completed a series of hand seals, [b]?Katon! Karyū Endan!?[/b] He breathed in deeply before exhaling powerfully, a long stream of fire emerged from his mouth like a flamethrower. Sasuke?s brow creased in concentration as he fed more chakra into the attack, the flames enlarging greatly. He directed the attack at Itachi, following him as the elder leapt around the room, dodging the flames. Sasuke managed to corner him and the attack hit him, but didn?t deal much damage because he ran out of breath. He jumped out of the way as Itachi threw some shuriken at him. Now he was on the defense, trying to catch his breath as he was attacked. He grunted as a shuriken flew past, slicing into his leg, and another that grazed his shoulder. [b]?Let?s finish this, otouto.?[/b] Itachi smirked and his Sharingan swirled quickly before changing shape to a pointed wheel-like shape. Sasuke smirked back at his brother, his eyes also spinning and turning into the different form of Sharingan, the design looking different to his. [b]?You have Mangekyou Sharingan?!?[/b] [b]?Surprised, ?Nii-san??[/b] Sasuke spat the title mockingly, pleased that he had managed to surprise his brother. [b]?Amaterasu!?[/b] their voices combined, releasing black flames that burnt hotter than any normal flame would. Soon the two of them were just standing in a small area, the rest of the room was covered in the black flames as they remained for days even after initially being released. [b]?I see you have become more powerful, Sasuke. I?m surprised you actually killed Naruto.?[/b] [b]?Che, I didn?t kill Naruto. He?s alive and well, in fact, I think he?s currently dealing with the rest of the Akatsuki members.?[/b] Sasuke sneered. [b]?Then how-??[/b] [b]?-Did I get Mangekyou Sharingan? Orochimaru had a spell that could unlock it for me because he wanted me to have it quickly so he could use it when he transferred into my body. Naruto saved me and killed Orochimaru while I was recovering from the spell since it took my sight away temporarily.?[/b] [b]?Fine, let?s get this over with.?[/b] The two brothers fought, they knew this would be to the death and only one of them would emerge victorious. In the middle of their battle they heard Naruto?s voice from the corridor. [b]?Sasuke!!?[/b] They saw the blond run into the entrance of the room, having to stop due to the black flames. [b]?Sasuke!?[/b] [b]This is my fight, dobe.?[/b] the teen gritted, executing a butterfly cut that sliced into Itachi unaware. [b]?Fine, stubborn bastard! But if you lose I?ll never forgive you!?[/b] Sasuke let out a small laugh, [b]?As if I?d lose, dobe.?[/b] He did a backflip dodging the attacks of Itachi. The battle continued to rage before it halted in a second. Gasps from all three of them sounded in the silence and an extra choking sound. Sasuke?s eyes were wide, the Sharingan fading as he stared at Itachi. His eyes were wide too as the Sharingan disappeared, staring down at his body where Sasuke?s katana had pierced through his stomach with so much force that a small bit of the blade had emerged from his back. [b]?You??did well?..little brother.?[/b] Tears finally appeared in Sasuke?s eyes, [b]?Why?! Why did you have to kill them all, Itachi!?[/b] [b]?To prove myself?.And now you?.have proved yourself???[/b] were his dying words. Sasuke let go of the katana, falling to his knees as the body crumpled, lifeless to the ground. He swallowed and held back the tears as his shoulders trembled in compressed sobs. Naruto took a running jump from the corridor, entering the ring of fire. He laid a comforting hand on Sasuke?s shoulder but remained silent, understanding his friend didn?t want anything to be said. [b]?Sasuke?.we should go.?[/b] [b]?Why?! Why?.why did he have to kill our entire clan?! Why?..why did I have to kill him as revenge??[/b] he gasped, letting the pent up emotion rise to the surface. Sasuke had always said how much he hated his brother, but inside he wished it was different. He wished his clan was still alive and populating the district, and that his brother hadn?t killed them and gone into exile. Especially that [i]he[/i] didn?t have to be the one to go out and avenge by killing his brother that he had looked up to for so long. The title of avenger had been pushed on him by all of the villagers since the massacre, and he soon felt that was all he was good for. [b]?I don?t know??[/b] Naruto answered quietly. Sasuke weakly got up, turning away from the body and the katana embedded in the corpse of his older brother. Naruto grabbed his left arm and ducked under, wrapping his right around the trembling Uchiha, the now sole survivor of the clan. He put chakra into his feet to give him a boost as he jumped, carrying them both over the fire again and making their way out of the Akatsuki hideout. Sasuke leaned on Naruto weakly. His mission was complete. Naruto spoke quickly to Kakashi, telling him about the body that remained. He suggested that they bring it with them to properly bury it. Even if Itachi had been exiled, the fact was that he had still been Sasuke?s brother. Kakashi agreed and went to do it, telling him to get Sasuke back safely.[/i] Sasuke woke up in an empty field, eyes feeling a little watery. He blinked the wetness away and sat up when he heard a voice calling for him, the same that called for him in the chamber during his fight. [b]?Nani o, Naruto??[/b] [b]?Tsunade-baachan wanted me to get you. I think she?s got a mission for us.?[/b] the blond teen grinned. [b]?Aa.?[/b] Sasuke mumbled, picking up his katana that lay beside him on the grass. After killing Itachi he didn?t want to touch his old katana and had a new one made, with many symbols that represented him engraved all over it. He tied it to his back and got to his feet, walking with the blond toward Hokage tower. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] Sasuke was finally able to kill his older brother Itachi when Akatsuki was defeated, leaving him as the sole member of the elite Uchiha Clan.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

A young woman of 18, ran down a deserted alley, her feet silent, breathing quiet but ragged. She was on a chase, and this was an important one. She slowed her pace and silently caught her breath while she waited, pressed against a wall. [B]"Nics, got anything?"[/B] a male voice sounded in her ear. [B]"Neg'. Waitin'."[/B] she murmered, the voice chip stuck to her throat picked up the vibrations and transmitted them to her partner. She didn't want to speak more than she had to incase the murmur was picked up by the person they were chasing. [B]"Alright, lemme know."[/B] Nicolette rolled her eyes, as if she wouldn't immediately tell him if something was happening. She crept forward, sliding against the wall as she blended in with the shadows, moving closer toward the target. There was a muffled banging as the man knocked on what looked like a solid piece of the wall, but from the sounds of it, it was fake. [B]"Oi, hurry up!"[/B] the man hissed. The door swung open quickly, allowing the man to dash in before it swung closed. [B]"Target has just entered an unknown door."[/B] she reported quietly, swiftly moving to the portal. Nicole rubbed her hands together and extended her arm. She carefully ran fingers around the frame of the door and found the slither thin gap that allowed it to open and close. There were small bumps which were the hinges that also allowed it to work. It was sneaky, but smart. [B]"Get over here already."[/B] she whispered, moving away from the door. Minutes later her partner showed up, arriving quietly and sliding into place beside her. Nicolette pushed some long black strands of hair behind her ear, the little light shining in revealed its true colour to be a very dark navy blue. [B]"Cain. Back up when I bust."[/B] she whispered. Her male friend nodded and prepared himself, pulling out a gun and bringing it up to eye level. Nic moistened her lips as she moved to the door again, Cain shadowing her. She reached up with two fingers from her right hand, touching an area where one of the hinges were. Concentrating on it, magic flowed through her body and out of her fingertips, emerging in the form of ice as she froze the patch of door around the hinge. She repeated the process on the other hinge, and the area that she predicted where the lock was. Her crimson eyes focussed on the ice and she commanded them to shatter powerfully, taking away those pieces of the door too. Nicolette looked to Cain who nodded. She delivered a powerful kick to the door and watched it fall in, moving to the side quickly since she was currently unarmed. She reached over her right shoulder and grabbed the hilt of her Nagimaki, drawing it with ease and swinging it infront of her as she rushed in after Cain who could already be heard firing. Her eyes swept the room, searching for the target amid all the chaos. It seemed this was some secret hideout and they'd been lazing about, knocking back some strong alcohol and playing poker. Nicolette spotted their target heading out the back door and quickly ran for it, hurdling over any obstacles that got in her way. She had to shove a few people out of the way, but she made it to the exit, sprinting through another alley. She had to catch him soon, before he reached the end of the alley where it merged into a busy street. Nicole flung her hand out quickly, power flowing freely from her to wrap around his feet. The ice trapped him immediately, not allowing him to move his feet at all. She grinned and ran up, holding her Nagimaki at the ready. [B]"Cain, you done in there?"[/B] she asked. [B]"Yeah, I'm right here."[/B] he called, coming up beside her, gun pointed at the target. [B]"We've finally got you, after so many months, Mr. Huang."[/B] Nicolette smiled. [B]"You think so?"[/B] the man smirked before flames burst around his feet, spreading upward to surround him. Before either of them could do anything, he disappeared. [B]"Damnit! We were so close!"[/B] she growled angrily. [B]"Maybe next time."[/B] Cain sighed, putting his gun away. Nic sheathed her nagimaki and the two of them continued up the alley, walking onto the busy street and heading back to the office. [CENTER]---[/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] Nicolette kinda looks like [B][URL=http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/1310/girls992fr9.jpg][u]THIS[/u][/URL][/B] but her hair's darker. She often wears baggy, casual clothing; like baggy jeans and a large hoodie. But sometimes she also dresses more feminine, with more flattering outfits. Her special skills are mainly; fighting with an assortment of weapons (her favourite weapon is her Nagimaki), and being good with technology (computers, etc.). I'd also say that her magic ability is pretty professional. She's been working on it a lot. So yeah. And a shout-out to Eclipse for the Graphics ^^

Maths passed very slowly. Cameron was extremely relieved when the bell rang, signalling the end of the session. She was one of the first people out of their seats, shoving things into her backpack and fleeing the classroom before anything else could be said. There was a flood of students moving around between classes. Cameron sped up her pace, dodging and weaving in between groups of friends who were chatting in the middle of the halls. She hated moving from Maths to Music because they were completely on opposite sides of the school. She pushed through a particular blockage of students, picking up her pace so she could get to class on time. Cam actually enjoyed music because it was a loud way to express herself. She made it through the door before the bell rang, taking a seat next to her friends in the class. As the teacher walked through the door, she announced that today would just be showcasing because a few adults followed in after her, taking seats. Cameron raised her eyebrow, wondering who the people were, but shrugged. Not a problem. As the class went on, some students that went before her did solo acts; singing or playing their instruments, while others opted for doing it in groups. When Cameron was called upon, she nodded to her three friends and they stood up together, making their way to the front of the class. A set of microphones on stands had already been set up at the front for the other items, and a drum kit toward the back of the area in case it was needed. The smallest girl in her group took a seat on the stool behind the drums, picking up the drumsticks and twirling them between her fingers. Cameron picked up the electric guitar from the stand and lifted the strap up and over her head, resting it on her shoulder comfortably. It had been tuned earlier, but she still gave it a strum to check. Cam pulled one of two picks from her pocket, the small piece of plastic was hard and looked stormy blue, in comparison to the other in her pocket which was softer and a pale pink (made for using with an acoustic). When she looked up again, her other two friends, a guy and a girl had picked up guitars as well, the guy held another electric, while the girl had a bass. They all plugged in their amp cables and with a nod from Cam they started. She strummed the beats on her guitar, synching with her friends easily after spending long practise sessions with each other. She bobbed her head to the music before stepping up to the front microphone. [i][b]"Let me know that I've done wrong When I've known this all along I go around a time or two Just to waste my time with you Tell me all that you've thrown away Find out games you don't wanna play You are the only one that needs to know"[/b][/i] Cameron's gaze washed over the class, her eyes a deep blue instead of their usual stormy blue. The beat of the song already had people smiling with recognition, mouthing the words and bobbing their heads or tapping their feet. She glanced over at Eric and Amy, the other two guitarists. They were the two who sung the echo and support parts for when it was needed. [b][i]"I'll keep you my dirty little secret (Dirty little secret) Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret (Just another regret, hope that you can keep it) My dirty little secret Who has to know When we live such fragile lives It's the best way we survive I go around a time or two Just to waste my time with you Tell me all that you've thrown away Find out games you don't wanna play You are the only one that needs to know I'll keep you my dirty little secret (Dirty little secret) Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret (Just another regret, hope that you can keep it) My dirty little secret Who has to know The way she feels inside (inside) Those thoughts I can't deny (deny) These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie) And all I've tried to hide It?s eating me apart Trace this life out"[/b][/i] She broke off and stepped back from the microphone as the quartet hammered on their instruments, with the drums giving off a steady rhythm in the background while the guitarists did rifts up and down briefly. Cameron strummed the strings once more as the bridge ended, leaving the guitar hanging as she dropped an octave, eyes looking into those of the class members. [b][i]"I'll keep you my dirty little secret (Dirty little secret) Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret (Just another regret)"[/b][/i] For the final refrain she picked up the guitar again. [b][i]"I'll keep you my dirty little secret (Dirty little secret) Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret (Just another regret, hope that you can keep it) My dirty little secret Dirty little secret Dirty little secret Who has to know? Who has to know?[/b][/i] The last note was left hanging, dying off as the strings stopped vibrating. They were applauded. The four of them bowed and put their instruments away, hurrying off stage for the next performer(s). [B]"Good job, guys."[/B] Cam smiled at her friends. She was pleased with her performance. The day seemed to be looking up. [CENTER]---[/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] The song is [I][B]"Dirty Little Secret"[/B][/I] by The All-American Rejects. I don't really know why I chose the song besides the fact it's kinda catchy. ^^;;

[color=navy]Ahhhh ok. That makes more sense then >.> So how is it we determine when we want our lunch? Our decision is it? I'll try to come up with a schedule/timetable thingy soon.[/color]

[color=navy]I'm with Redemption (since we happen to be from the same country). I still don't get it. You have a lunch, then a half hour of class before [i]another[/i] lunch. Then....another half hour and lunch? Then....I really don't know. This is confusing. Why in the world would a school have FOUR lunches? Over here we only have recess and lunch. Sorry if I'm just dense but no matter how I try to figure it out, it just isn't making sense to me.[/color]

[COLOR=Navy]Aha! I knew it would be a swap! Though I am surprised about putting them into the Leader position. A little unexpected but...whatever. Welcome to the crew, Matt. About the challenge, I don't mind sitting out. I'm not that great at debates either.[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Cameron hadn't been fazed much by seeing the dead bodies. They were horrific, but at the same time she had seen these things often on the streets as she roamed with her friends. It wasn't a new experience and there was a slight pang in her heart at the thought she had gotten so used to these things that they had no major effect on her anymore. Cam had cast glances at Nikki quite often as she seemed to be the one who was effected the most, being the youngest of the group. Cameron ran with the others as they fled from the police officers that were chasing them. Albrecht held them off with clones, giving them more time. She was bringing up the rear, with the German man just in front of her. As she ran she knew that she had to make a quick transition so they could get away and focus more on where they had to go next. Her mind was whirling, she needed something big to fit all of them, something fast, preferrably something that could fly. Before she really registered properly what was happening, she had already started transforming. [B]"Albrecht!"[/B] she called quickly as she tried to keep running through the main part of the transfiguration. Her clothes disappeared as white hairs replaced it, and she started running on all fours as her hands and feet became cloven hoofs. She grew in size and her entire body shape changed, sprouting a long tail, a mane, a horn, and feathery white wings. Albrecht had turned to see what she had called him for and saw that she was undergoing change and alerted the rest of the group to the same fact. Xavier turned swiftly and cast an illusion spell on her, though they could still see her. [B]"Get on!"[/B] she shouted to them as she galloped faster. As she passed Albrecht, he grabbed hold of her strong neck, swinging himself up onto her back. Xavier cast the illusion on the whole group, concealing all of them as they each got onto the back of Cameron in Unicorn form. When the last member of the group got on she gave them a brief warning before spreading her large wings and taking off into the sky. [B]"Where are we headed to next?"[/B] Cammy asked, beating her wings every now and then to keep them airborne but mainly relying on thermals and wind patterns, her legs continuing to move as if running on air. Albrecht turned around as much as he could, but his arms remained wrapped around Cameron's neck for safety as the group discussed where their next destination would be. Xavier and Mugen poured over the contact book, flipping pages and scanning the information on each. Suddenly Xavier stabbed his finger at the page he was looking at. [B]"This one looks promising..."[/B][/COLOR] [B]OOC:[/B] I left it open because I have no idea where to go >< The post is pretty poor quality but I wanted to get one in nonetheless.[/SIZE]

[color=navy]I don't mind if Tiana wants to take this one. All the best for whatever the challenge entails.[/color]

Cameron made her way to school, feet shuffling along the sidewalk, backpack hanging from her shoulder. She pushed long strands of pink from her face as the sun shone brightly. Her stomach rumbled, she hadn't had enough time to prepare breakfast before leaving the house. She scoffed and glared out in front of her, sending a soda can flying with a kick. Cam walked through the school entrance slowly, dreading another boring day of school, unless of course she got some action like the day before. She let out a long, heavy sigh as she moved up to her locker. She simply, carelessly twirled the dial of her lock a couple of times and watched as it sprung open. She smirked, she made it look so easy. She popped her neck and grabbed the stack of books that she'd need for her first few classes, stuffing them in her backpack. With a yawn she slammed the locker closed and clicked it shut. Cameron glanced at her watch and saw it was almost time to get to class. Thinking about her timetable she grimaced at the thought of facing her Maths teacher. The woman that taught her Mathematics had long, tangly whitish hair, large glasses, crooked teeth, stained fingers, and everytime she spoke you could smell cigarette smoke on her breath. It also didn't help her favour that she was a bad teacher and hardly knew what she was talking about, let alone teach what she "knew" to students. As she walked through the halls to her classroom she saw the one person she didn't want to see, especially on the one morning she started with Maths and the horrible teacher. She growled low in her throat, eyes narrowing and churning from a stormy blue to a steel grey. Cameron rushed forward on nimble feet, despite her baggy clothes and slammed the person up into the lockers behind them, grasping them by the collar of their shirt, twisted in her fist. [B]"Why are [I]you[/I] here?"[/B] Her voice was low and dangerous, teeth bared angrily. [B]"Ha, you thought I'd listen to a little try hard like you? Dream on."[/B] [B]"I told you I didn't want to see you here any more yesterday, and I meant it. Now I'll give you one more chance. Leave, and don't come back."[/B] [B]"Never."[/B] the senior sneered, spitting at Cam. Cameron snapped, punching her hard in the abdomen, elbowing her solar plexus. The older girl fell against her. Cam used the girl's shirt to wipe the saliva off her face, before kneeling and grabbing her throat tightly. [B]"You don't know what I'm capable of. Just leave and you won't be hurt majorly."[/B] Cam was tough, but she didn't really want to seriously injure other people. The girl coughed as her windpipe was held by Cameron's strong grip. In an incredible show of strength, she gripped the girl's shirt, keeping her hand around her throat and walked toward the entrance, tossing the senior outside. The body hit the pavement and rolled slightly. [B]"Don't come back. I mean it. If you do....you'll regret it."[/B] Cameron looked at her watch again and groaned, she was late for her first class, meaning the stupid teacher would give her a detention. As predicted as soon as she walked through the door the teacher scribbled on a pad, tearing off the top piece and handing it to her. It was a pink slip. She groaned and snatched it, making her way to her seat at the back of the classroom, as far away from the teacher as possible. She pulled out her text books and immersed herself, drowning out the teacher by plugging her earphones in. Slumping in her chair she could feel today would be a long, long, looooong day.

[color=navy]So, the latest news from Sandy is that we need a volunteer. Uhm, I don't know how you want to decide this. I'm kinda afraid of what it entails. But if no one else is willing to do it, I wouldn't mind checking out what this is about. So yeah, I'll put myself forward if it's needed. I still have a bit of time before Uni starts, depending on the length of the challenge I guess. So, what does everyone else think? Anyone else want to do it? Beth? Opinions? Why am I always on when a challenge/notice is posted? *shrug*[/color]

[COLOR=Navy]Oh my goodness! I can't believe we won the challenge (technically we came second...but...) Congrats to everyone!! Thanks heaps to Beth for picking up the slack where I left off because I couldn't think of anything else to write. Good job Stephen for getting all the HTML and music and stuffs. Loved the cover, Tiana. Mike, couldn't have done it without you. Yay~. *happy and relieved*[/COLOR]

[color=navy]Sorry but it's just not as simple as it sounds. It's obvious that Mike and I didn't purposely not want to get this done on time or whatever. It was a fault on all of our parts because we took too long to make decisions before starting. And Mike and I both have outside lives. I wish Mike would post what he's done so it can be editted and worked off. Stephen, can/have you inserted the HTML stuff in the other sections? If you start with them then at least we'll have some of it. Or post the code here so we can put it in as we're writing it. I don't know, what time is it there for you anyway? Noon? It's 3 something here so...[/color]

[color=navy]Ummm, have you got that in GMT? I live in Australia, and frankly, I have no idea what European time is. I kinda know the general US time I think.[/color]

[COLOR=Navy]Ahhhh!!! The deadline's almost here. Well, I've done some editting to the intro piece, so go back and check it out, plus I did a bit of editting to my latest. Mike says he's working on the next section. I think we still might be able to make it...^^;;[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]Sorry guys, I tried to do some, but I haven't had much time lately, and with Mike having no time either it really slowed the process down. I wrote this in the past hour, but I can't think of any more. There isn't much progress because honestly I can't think of how to go about it. Like Beth said, I have no idea how to get to the point where JJ dies, let alone learn to control these powers of ours, and defeat the evil crime syndicate run by the great Sandy >

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1]Cameron sighed blissfully as rivulets of hot water ran over her skin, warming her after being out in the rain. Luckily neither of her parents were around to see her when she arrived home or else they would have fussed, since she was drenched from the rain and wearing old dirty clothes. She tilted her face up into the shower spray, pushing her hair back as she scrubbed the intentional dirt from her cheeks. While she was going about this daily routine her mind was buzzing. Who was that person that had attacked her on the street? What did he want with her? Who was this 'master' he was talking about? So many questions, but no answers. Cam removed herself from the warmth, drying off and dressing into trackpants and a t-shirt for home comfort. She was towel drying her hair when her stomach growled loudly. Remembering that she hadn't eaten anything for the whole day, she wasn't surprised that her stomach was protesting to the lack of food. Draping the towel around her neck and grabbing her phone, she exited the room, jogging down the stairs to the kitchen. Cammy searched the fridge for food, waving away the servants from the kitchen who were insisting on cooking her something if she was hungry. She got so annoyed by them that she had to order them to leave her alone. Looking at the clock she saw that it would be dinner soon, but she couldn't wait that long without something substantial to eat. [B]"Something small..."[/B] she mumbled to herself quietly. She grinned as she saw some ham and cheese. Pulling them out of the fridge she set them on the marble countertop, fetching four slices of bread from the bread box and going about making the sandwiches. She cut the ham up so it was the perfect size, and grated just enough cheese. Cam held the plate holding the sandwiches and walked to the door that led to the inner kitchen where all the kitchen staff worked busily. She called one of the servants to just toast it, enough that it would melt the cheese. Cameron leaned against the counter while she waited, her mind taking a vacation from her body, only to return as her phone buzzed on the counter beside her. Picking it up she checked the caller ID, seeing who it was she quickly flipped it open, placing it against her ear. [B]"Mugen?"[/B] [B]"Cameron, hi. Still remember me?"[/B] the male voice replied. [B]"Haha, of course I remember you. It's been a while since we've spoken. How are you?"[/B] the teen laughed cheerfully. [B]"I've been better. Sorry but this isn't a social call."[/B] Cameron sobered and became serious, brows furrowing. [B]"What is it?"[/B] [B]"This may be an odd question, but have you been approached by a man in a black hooded cloak?"[/B] [B]"That's not an odd question at all. I met him on my way home earlier today."[/B] Cameron remembered the feeling she had around that man, it didn't feel right. [B]"We need to meet up. I've contacted some other magicians I know as well and we'll be meeting in Central Park tomorrow at noon. Can you make it?"[/B] [B]"You can count on me being there. Noon tomorrow, it is."[/B] Cameron smiled, nodding even though he couldn't see her. [B]"Great, see you then."[/B] [B]"Yep, bye."[/B] she hung up the phone, just looking at it, thinking. [B]"Miss Cameron, your sandwiches?"[/B] a servant said as he brought them over. Cam smiled, thanking him as she took the plate from his hands, walking back upstairs to contemplate. [CENTER]---[/CENTER] Cameron left her house at 11:30am. She rounded a corner, looking around before ducking behind a parked car. She kept watch as she made her transformation, it would be a shock to anyone if they saw her in mid-change, a bit too surprising for unsuspecting people. A pidgeon flew out from behind the car, its eyes unnaturally an amethyst colour with hazelnut markings. Cameron surfed the winds, flying toward Central Park. She soared overhead and saw a group of people gathered together. Her eyes spotted the one figure she was searching for, Mugen. Guessing that was the group she was supposed to meet she landed on Mugen's shoulder, cooing and prodding him with her beak. He looked at her and smiled, nodding in confirmation. Cameron flapped off, landing in an empty area. She transformed back into her human form slowly, startling some of the other magicians as they weren't suspecting it. When her body fully returned to her regular form, she got up from her crouched position, standing in front of the group wearing baggy, torn dark blue jeans, navy blue Nikes, a white pullover hoodie with grungy patterns in shades of blue and purple that looked like it was several sizes too big, and a tank top concealed beneath. Cameron smiled brightly, walking over and hugging Mugen in a show of friendship, again saying how long it had been since they'd last talked. She remembered the other members of the group. [B]"Hi, I'm Cameron Hille. Nice to meet you all, sorry if I'm late."[/B] she smiled brightly. The others all replied with their names slowly, someone brought up her popularity due to her father and the business. As it was revealed, some were surprised, having not known that the daughter of Carter Hille was a magician, and a shape shifter no less. [B]"So, who are we waiting for?"[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=navy]Yeah, I like the title, but isn't Cronus spelt "Chronus"? I don't really know but I always thought there was a 'h' in there. Either way, it sounds good. Sorry I haven't had time to write any more of the script, so if anyone has time to do it please do. If no one has done so by later when I'm free, I'll try to work on it. But no real promises there.[/color]

[COLOR=Navy]Yeah I didn't really read it again after he sent it back to me. But we will make edits again before we finally submit it I think. I'm guessing Mike was in a hurry because he told me he didn't have much time which is why there would be errors in his corrections. And I was thinking of making your colour grey/white but decided against it in the end. Though if that's what you want we'll change it to that.[/COLOR]

[color=white] [B]Name:[/B] [URL=http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8384/1128715287cpinkshoesqi2.jpg][COLOR=Red][B]Cameron Suiter[/B][/COLOR][/URL] [B]Age / DOB:[/B] 15th of February 1997 (13 years old) [B]Persona:[/B] [URL=http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/511/dragonnobodybi5.jpg][COLOR=Red][B]Shinkuu[/B][/COLOR][/URL] [B]Blood Weapon:[/B] [URL=http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/9408/scytheyl8.jpg][COLOR=Red][b]Zetsumei[/b][/COLOR][/URL] "Zetsu" [B]Snippet:[/B] A freshman trudged through the hallways. She could've passed for a guy if she didn't have waist long, pink hair since she was dressed in a pullover hoodie several sizes too big for her and baggy jeans that hung around her knees and at her feet, her joggers peaking out from beneath the legs. She tugged the strap of her backpack up higher onto her shoulder as it started to slip, shoving both hands into the large pockets of her jeans. [B]"Oi, wannabe. Why don't you go to one of those slum schools? I'm sure you'd fit right in there."[/B] a senior shouted as she walked past them in the hall. She stopped and turned her head. Her stormy blue gaze locked on with the other, narrowing dangerously. The senior girl's eyes widened as Cameron's eyes visibly swirled, glowing before changing into a steely gray. [B]"What did you say?"[/B] she asked, voice quiet and dangerously calm. [B]"You heard me, try hard."[/B] was the sneered reply. [B]"Courtyard, after school. Be there."[/B] Cameron said quietly before continuing on her path to class. [B][I]After school in the courtyard:[/I][/B] It seems that the news about a fight had spread rapidly, and it looked like most of the school was there. Some people were interested in the outcome, but most knew it would be a one-sided fight. Some people were taking bets, they were all routing on the senior since she was bigger and older. But so the saying goes; the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Cameron was waiting on the inside of the circle that had formed. The circle was quite large, leaving room for the two to fight. She had left her bag in her locker knowing it would be trampled or lost if she brought it out here. Her body was lithe and toned, but these details were disguised by the excess material of the hoodie and jeans. She stretched her limbs, preparing for the battle before her opponent arrived. [B]"If she doesn't arrive in the next five minutes, I'm leaving."[/B] she announced, putting her hands in her pockets. Just as the five minutes were about to tick over, the senior girl entered with style, her flunkies following her. Cameron could tell she had arrived because the crowd parted like the Red Sea. She scowled, angry at being forced to wait, which she would bet was purposely done to annoy her. [B]"Running scared, pee-wee?"[/B] [B]"As if. Wasn't going to waste my whole afternoon waiting for you to show up."[/B] [B]"Hmph, so are you ready to be sadly defeated?"[/B] [B]"Yeah yeah, whatever you say."[/B] she rolled her eyes in distaste. [B]"Wait. Before we start we should set a...wager of sorts."[/B] [B]"Oh yeah? You [i]that[/i] confident you're gonna beat me?"[/B] [B]"Of course I'm going to beat you, but this will just be for fun."[/B] Cameron snorted, a smirk on her face as she just watched the cocky elder. [B]"Fine, what do you want the loser to do?"[/B] [B]"It's not hard. The loser, ie. you, has to leave the school."[/B] she said confidently, the crowd cheering behind her. [B]"Yeah, whatever. Let's just get this done with."[/B] [B]"So anxious to lose? So be it."[/B] she said, getting into a fighting position. Cameron already knew it would be a short fight because the other girl hadn't stretched first, so she would most likely cramp up, leaving an opening where she could get a finishing attack in. She smirked and bounced lightly on the balls of her feet. The senior made a 'Come and Get Me' motion with her hands, cocky smile plastered all over her face and the crowd of on-lookers roaring in excitement. Cam moved swiftly, with the grace of a trained acrobat. With the strength and speed of a naturally gifted martial artist she put her weight on her left leg and snapped her right leg up and out, catching her in the abdomen. These movements all happened in a split second. Her opponent gasped for air, doubling over as she was winded. Cam rolled her eyes and put her right fist into her left hand, elbowing the older girl in the back. She rolled the larger girl onto her back and straddled her, grabbing the front of her shirt. [B]"Give."[/B] was the one word she said, steely gray eyes conveying the danger that she was when she was serious. [B]"I give, I give. You win..."[/B] she gasped. Cameron sneered and shoved her away, standing and dusting her clothes off. [B]"You have to hold up our deal since you made it yourself. I don't want to see you here again."[/B] she spoke clearly, ringing across the silenced crowd who had just watched a freshman decimate a senior in seconds. [B]"Ugh, what a waste of time."[/B] Cameron moaned, walking to her locker to get her backpack before heading home, left hand covering her mouth as she yawned while her right hand gripped the strap that hung over her shoulder. The on-lookers remained silent and just watched as she leaved. No one would be messing with her any time soon. Then the silence was broken as the bet keeper started to collect his cash from all the losers. [CENTER]---[/CENTER] [b]OOC:[/b] Sorry but I'll have to finish the rest later. Gotta work on the Survivor challenge. [B]EDIT1:[/B] Added a background. Thanks to Eclipse for making it ^^ [B]EDIT2:[/B] Did the snippet. Hope that's ok and all. I might edit it in the future though. Not really happy with how it ended because I've gotta go. [B]EDIT3:[/B] Added an appearance pic to her name, though it's still described in the snippet.[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]Well I think that'd be just fine. Because afterall as I mentioned in my last post, once we're done with a section and we've each checked it, we'll post it here as quickly as possible, then you guys can read it over, add suggestions or ideas and we'll go from there. And yeah, I'm trying to learn the format, but I have yet to see how Mike will handle it. Ooh, I'm interested in the old movie script type format. That'll be awesome. We can do this! Go Titans! PS. If any of you have suggestions for titles then just let us know, though we still probably won't choose one until the end. EDIT: Alright, Mike just sent me back the Intro piece that I've written. As seen below. Post and tell me if you have ideas or suggestions. I'll probably try to write the next piece in the next few hours because Mike hasn't had time. Different timezones and all. Apologies about the piece, it's not very good >

[color=navy]Yeah, I got Mike to post and explain since I did it last time =P I've already written the intro part of the screenplay, and I sent that off to Mike already to read over and edit where it's due. I'm relying a lot on Mike actually because to be honest, I really suck at script format though I think I made a good attempt. Anyway, since Mike's better at it he'll show me how it's done XD He mostly got the details right in his post, but they're not all honour roll students, and I called Beth, Ms. Beth. But once Mike checks it over and maybe sends it back to me, we'll post it here so you guys can take a look and all that. But yeah...all of us are seniors in High school and they inhaled some fumes from some experiments that Stephen knocked over. We sorta decided amongst ourselves that we'll try to think of a title later because it's too hard right now. Hopefully we can get everything done by the deadline, which is 6 days away. Tiana, if you want in on the writing we can put you in, just let us know. But I'd hope you give more attention to the graphics side of things since neither Mike or I can. Beth, I'm not really sure what you want to do. First thing is how much time have you got? I don't know if you're working or whatever. If you don't have free time I can handle a load, being still on holidays.[/color]

[COLOR=Navy]Cool, I like the sounds of it so far. We need to come up with a title for this here screenplay so Stephen can get started on making graphics or whatnot. And we should try to start this as soon as possible. We don't have much longer to do it now. We're about down to a week I think.[/COLOR]

[color=navy]This is just a quick post before I go to bed because it's 1:15am >

[COLOR=Navy]Well if you want to have a large part in writing we can put you in on that. Mike and I just volunteered mainly because it's something we can do. I'm not 100% sure about him, but I can't do Graphics for nuts, and have no idea where to upload music or what not. So pretty much mjy only option is to be part of the writing. The writing will most likely be tomorrow sometime, depending what time you're in. Because Mike will post his ideas (unless anyone has ideas now?), we'll decide what idea we want to follow, then begin. Or that's how I see it.[/COLOR]
