MutantHigh Episode2: Russians and Fishmen?!

Eris was having a bit of a problem with surfing, not with maintaining her balance, that was beyond easy, it was with anticipating the way that the waves moved, there was only so much balance could do if a wave came down on top of you. No, it wasn't balance she needed to practice, it was simply expeirencing the way the water moved around her. It being easier to learn the way the waves react then to teach yourself to be balanced, she learned fairly quickly. On her last attempt before the locals arrived, she had even managed to ride the wave in for 10 feet or so before the wave came down directly on top of her, knocking her flat.

"So what exactly am I doing wrong? I mean, I have the best sense of Balance of like anyone in the world, how come I can't stay up on the board?" she asks Joey, rubbing a sore spot where her head head slammed against the board, on anyone else, it would have been a huge bruise, but in the few secoonds that it took for her to stand up, it was gone.

She waves to the girls as they disembark from the vehicles, taking one last marginally good run before heading in to join them, it wasn't up to Joey's standards, but then again, he could make the wave go where he wanted, as fast as he wanted, she thought defensively. She stroad out of the water, the board cradled under her left arm, her body and pink hair dripping sea-water as she approached the gathering of students.

"Thanks for telling me about this place Eslarne, its really beautiful." She said, letting her gaze wander the landscape.

Joey replies, "Its practice, I wiped out so many times, when i first got started, I can't even count. You are getting it faster then I did, but I have been doing this since I was a kid, it is all practice," he says as she goes to join the others.

Well she isn't bad, alot better then I thought, Joey makes another run, whipping through the wave with skill, he surfs the tube, and rides it to the edge, whipping up and over the wave, taking air, he crashes back into the water and whips back to catch another wave, and rides it into the shore... he comes out of the water dripping wet with a smile, and places his board near Eris' board.

I will be back baby, don't get too cold, he thinks to his beloved board, and walks towards the pack of she-wolves, "Hey, not a bad spot," he says.

As soon as he comes back from school, Clair reports to Dr. Garcia for the blood sampling. I hope this doesn't hurt too much he thinks. Afterwards, he heads over to his room and goes over to his bed, unpacking his backpack and laying everything out on it.

Going over all the books that was given to him today for his classes, he gawks at how large they seem. The look of them alone had set him into a stupor. Being too idle for his taste, he sets himself to work browsing through them.

It's been a long day, I'm just glad no one decided to pick on me too much. But maybe if no one really watches our use on powers I could come up with a couple fun ideas tomorrow.

He muses about boosting that short kid who was being picked on earlier today, to see what he would do with his new found strength. His mind wanders, to the girl who broke in last night and then to the topic of Deltas.

Looking over at his Biology book, he thinks, I wonder if they've started dissecting us yet... He notes the possibility humorfully, but then considers it-and inwardly he groans.

He's in a sortof passive state when Michael comes in, and he tries not to bother him, noticing how tense he seems to be. Simply nodding towards him in recognition, Clair brings his gaze back down to his books while his room mate takes a shower.

After dinner though, when he starts playing his guitar, Clair does a poor job of pretending to read while listening on. Giving up, he tries not to be a boor by trying to start a conversation, "You sound really good, did you make that song up by yourself?"

The wolf pack is rather peacefull out here and then the talk gets too boring for Joey he can allways just head of for the waves. An hour or so later the whole crew decides to get to the water and Eris finaly gets a better grip on it. Or maybe it's just that the others aren't as good as Joey and so she looks better in comparison...
Suddenly her board is drawn under the water and Eris feels strong hands grabbing her feet and pulling her downwards. Four humanoid creatures pull her down with frightening speed.

The creatures:

What the hell!? Joey dives into the water with great speed, he screams out, "Eris!" Joey still looking for Eris, his eyes adjusting to the water with ease, as he descends into the water...

Did she wipe out? Joey thinks, as he descends into the water.

Eris lets out a slight 'yip' of surprise when she feels her board get yanked out from beneath her, and her eyes flash to their cat-shape as she tries to user her enhanced senses to pick up her attackers. Her night-vision is put to the test by the water as she tries to get a glimpse of the things that have her legs.

Bending herself almost in half, with her chest touching her knees, she strikes out at the hands holding her, she was more worried about drowning herself, then killing them being in a panic as she was, she struck out with blows capable of breaking a human's bones, or even killing one outright. Much as a cat that her powers soo resembled, she was not fond of being underwater, not one bit. She struck as rapidly as she possibly could, her hands never stopped swinging towards her captors, as small bubble escaped her nose.

Michael gets his medical first and Gert asures him that he will take care of the problem and he will be excused from P.E from now on. He does some other basic health checs and takes a small blood sample for Dr Garcia.
"She will try to find out more about your powers with it."

"Whew. that's a load off. Thank you doctor."

Eris hits one of the creatures, injuring it. They both strike back with softer blows that only intend to knock her down but she evades them even while they hold on to her feet. The two others let go of her and swim towards Joey to intercept him. Their voices sound blurred underwater but they are still clear to hear as they shout toward him.
"We will take her land-dweller, in exchange for the one you captured Give him back and we will let her go!"

The farther she is dragged down the harder Eris struggles, striking out at her aquatic assailants more frantically as her need for oxygen increases, not having been ready, she hadn't been able to take a deep breath before she was pulled under the waves. (The same action as last time, using Rapid Strike feat, so +7/+7 to hit, damage bonus of +10)

There is fear in her eyes, and pleading as she is dragged down further, starting to drown. He wont be able to have me back If I;m drowned already! she thought angrily, picking up the hole in the Aquatic Denizens logic.

Eris hits the same attacker again and with time he lets go of her and sinks down unconcious or worse. The last one still drags her down and tries go get a better hold on her.
"Hold still stupid human, you will drown if you don't let me help you."
Joey has reached the other two by now and they circle him cautiously.
