Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

"Um... I kinda know the way. I'm sure I can find it," she says cheerfully. Luckily enough, you do find it. It was only a quick ten minute drive to the gates. You're just about to get out when she grabs your arm.

"Wait, don't I get to thank you?"

You hear your dad chuckling and you'll be danged if he isn't leaning against your door, keeping it closed, relaxing and checking his nails for dirt.

"Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way." at which point I expect her to kiss John, but with a devious DM you just never know.

the girls hang off you, and you are getting some nasty stares from some of the geeks.
"Hello gentlemen, sweet set up you got here," says Randall refering to the computer network. He will sit down at a computer next to Monica. "Dragon Flight? No problem, we'll destroy these guys."
 

Johan quickly slips the ring on and takes off after Sanchez. He leaves the three duplicates that were already there to take care of the melting (with one of me browsing ARIS's database, that leaves me with 4 more to create if need be).
 

Vince
You dash into the dorms, passing a steady stream of students being directed out by Merlin and Cosmo. You zip up the stairs and into a mass of choking black smoke. It sears your lungs and stings your eyes, but you make it to X12's room. Flames coat the door and smoke billows out of it, and the doors to the left and right. Kicking the door in, you can barely make X12's form out on the floor.

You run through the flames to find him surprisingly unhurt. A circle of unburned carpet surrounds him. His arms and hands are really grotesquely burned, but otherwise is unharmed.

Part of the wall suddenly vanishes, and Nova flies in. The flames immediately start streaking towards her, giving you the chance to drag X12 out. Your wings slow your decent, but still not strong, make for a hard landing.

Everyone Else
You see the dorm on fire. Three rooms have smoke coming out of them, with flames coming out of the middle room. Carl disintegrates part of the wall in the middle room as Anna crashes through the window on the left, and Thunder blasts his way within the one on the right. Both emerge carrying unconscious students. Nova enters the middle room and the flames start disappearing into her. She flies out, a pained expression on her face, soars some 300 feet into the sky, and a huge fireball explodes from her. Thanks to the quick response of people, the catastrophe has been averted.

As everyone arrives, you are all put onto the job of reinforcing the dorm rooms and putting out any hot-spots. Sanchez and Johan set to work figuring out what caused the fire. Surprisingly, they can find nothing wrong with any wiring that would have caused the fire.

The nurse arrives and treats Vincent and the two students. Other than a bit of an upset stomach, which will pass quickly she assures you, they are given a clean bill of health. Vince isn't so sure, as that pain in his back has returned.

As Sanchez and Johan are discussing the fire with Thunder and Mendez, X12 sits up suddenly. His arms and hands have nearly completely healed and he looks confused.

X12
You sit up feeling very disoriented. Your hands throb and you see they are healing from bad burns. You vaguely remember having a flashback, and seeing a cloaked and shadowy figure. Something in the back of your mind makes you think he may be your father. What triggered the vision is unclear. It's very hazy and you can't remember what you were doing after you made your schedule and finished those boring texts on sexuality. You know for a near certainty that Captain Majors was part of something... but what, you don't know.

Coming out of your daze, you notice Thunder is asking you something.

"What happened in there, son?"

John
Sometimes being a hero is great. This is one of those times. Eventually, you do get out however, and she drives off and you happen to notice some smoke coming from the dorms, and a lot of activity over that way.

Devious? Me? Nawwwww!

Michelle
Finally, some many hours later, you are shopped out, and you have a barbeque to go to. You say your goodbyes to a by now completely enamored Ben, no small thanks to Monica not actually stopping any of her brazen actions (and the fact that he is surrounded by three people with high charisma and the attractive feat), and hop the Mag-Lev back to the institute. As you climb the fence, you see smoke wisping up from the dorms and see a huge blackened section in the boys dorm.

Randall
The only smoke is coming from your dragon as you roast another of these geeks knights in a fly by broiling. Five games down, and they just can't touch you. This chip works wonders on your mental speed and computer skills.

Finally they change games to Battle Tech 3000. Teams are drawn randomly, and you end up being teamed up with four other mechs in teams of two. You of course, are the pilot of Monica's mech, and she's the gunner.

You settle in for a nice long evening of gaming.
 

"Need to see... Master Wen. Empath said I... need to see him," X12 says. "Have to... see... have to lift the cowl."

Looking around, X12 shakes his head violently back and forth. "I... don't know... I don't remember. I wasn't here... he was here... I have to know where there is.

"Isolate me, please, until the group is ready to leave for Master Wen,"
X12 says, composing himself. "Someplace quiet, someplace safe... for me... from me for everyone else. I... can't guarantee I didn't... cause this to happen somehow."
 

Once Michelle notices the smoke and the fire damage she will race to the dorm rooms to see if there is anything she can do to help.
