Geese rushed down to the crowded canteen. Greiface threw Boneknife into Argri-nurg, and they fell and didn't get up. Professor Swamptoe threw a ball of shadow, but Greiface blocked it with a punch. Lightening blasted a stream of energy into Greiface's chest, but his reflective armor just defected the beam back at him. Swamptoe gathered the shadows around him, forming an armor, and charged at Greiface, who just sidestepped and Swamptoe ran into the wall. Lionfingers snuck up behind and punched Greiface. Greiface turned to see him, but Lionfingers was staring into his eyes trying to control him, Greiface broke free of the hypnosis and punched Lionfingers in the stomach, sending him across the corridor.
Greiface picked up Swamptoe by the neck, and asked "Now, WHERE IS IT?" He shouted. Swamptoe, panting in between words managed to say "I'll tell you if you put me down, and don't kill any of my partners." He looked at all his KO'd friends lying on the floor. Greiface put him down, and Swamptoe bolted across the corridor. Greiface caught him and crushed his skull. He didn't even have time to scream. Greiface brushed some blood and dust off his armor, and walked away, back up the elevator. 'I don't need him!' He thought, 'I'll find the Hidden forest on my own!'
Madame Rosethorn went up to the podium and said "Settle down students, we just have a little intruder, not problem!" Lightening burst in the canteen and shouted "Professor Swamptoe is... is... DEAD!" And the crowd gasped
Alen, whose sense of hearing wasn't too bad, said to himself "I sorta kina guessed from the sound of his skull cracking. And how do I know what that sounds like? Joey died two years earlier.".
Primrose awoke in the medical bay dazed. She slowly began to remember what happened and felt embarrassed at how horribly she failed her assignment on her first day. Her class had all left the room and she did not know how much time had passed. "I'm probably late for class. I better find out where everyone went." She climbed out of the bed, gathered her bag, and walked out to the hallway.
Boneknife walked into the canteen, covered in blood, and collapsed on the floor. "All new students proceed to the questing hall for your next lesson" He said with his voice continuously getting fader. Lightening went to help him. Rosethorn then heard what Alen said and replied "Yes, good idea, but you should get to the questing hall.
Primrose continued down the hallway. She was still unfamiliar with the university, and felt lost. Slowly, people finally began flooding the hall from the canteen. "Lunch?" she assumed. Among the students was Geese. She rushed up to greet him. "Geese! What's going on?"
Geese, relieved to see Primrose okay, he answered her question "Headmaster Swamptoe is dead, and all new students are supposed to report to the questing hall." He walked out the door.
"Dead?" Primrose echoed. Her face showed despair. She didn't know the Headmaster well; the guy with a beard, right? Regardless, to have someone die in a setting that seemed so normal... She understood that Geese was just as confused and concerned as her, so she held her questions and headed with him to the Questing Hall.
Professor Lionfingers stood at the podium of the questing hall. "Hello students." He said "Normally Professor Swamptoe would be up here but... Well.. Yeah." He took a breath and continued. "In these dark times, we have decided we NEED to train our students for battle. So, I'll explain how this works, I'll put you into groups and send each group into a simulated world, each world will differ depending on the group's ability. Each world has a goal, and you will have to work together to get to it."
"Right!" He said, "Now for the grouping!" He put several groups together. "Now, the last group." He said, "Geese Mulberry, Dramp, Primrose, Alen and Alexis Pheron." "Now, when we are all ready I'll send you into these worlds," He continued, "Remember they are just dreams so if you die an Horrible, painful death, you'll wake up here." :ohmy.gif:

"You look confused, it's the area for the briefing and debriefing of tasks students are sent on." Rosethorn said, "Down the corridor to your left."
"Right!" He said, "Now for the grouping!" He put several groups together. "Now, the last group." He said, "Geese Mulberry, Dramp, Primrose, Alen and Alexis Pheron." "Now, when we are all ready I'll send you into these worlds," He continued, "Remember they are just dreams so if you die an Horrible, painful death, you'll wake up here." :ohmy.gif:
Geese felt dizzy and fell asleep.
He woke up with the others outside a large, ruined house.
