Sanchez calls from the sidelines.  About two minutes later, Trailblazer blows the whistle to end the first half.  One-nil, Blue.  You all head for the sidelines, getting some healthy ribbing, drink some gatorade and get ready for the second half. You notice your team captain, Monica, leaning against one of the metallic light poles, recovering her breath.  She's not sweating, but her skin is giving off small electrical discharges.  Her short, untamed hair is sparking as well, and she's looking at you with a little hostility. "You better not screw up again, or I'm going to kick your butt," she says between breaths.  "I don't like losing 'cause of people's screw-ups." A call comes out shortly thereafter from the field, as Trailblazer prepares to start the second half.  Pretty much the entire school is present now, staff, faculty, EPIC heroes and students.</blockquote>
