Snippet #1563069

Jimmy's Ninhakujo was laid out before him. He had read the flyer and knew of the coming attack, so he had prepared himself for a fight. All of the preparations were made. The incense was lit, and he was doing the customary hand signs of the Koga ninja before battle. Everything was going fine until he heard a kid screaming over the intercom. "TEIMEI!" Jimmy yelled and punched the ground, causing it to shake slightly. He then calmed himself and remained focused. Though, instead of dawning his gear and then going to the auditorium, he thought it was best he didn't walk into the auditorium dressed as a freaking ninja. He wasn't sure how the others would react, so he threw on a white T-shirt and black sweatpants. Jimmy then opened his door and proceeded down the hallway towards the auditorium.

As he walked down the hallway, his barefeet feeling the high quality business carpet of the building, he noticed another student who looked like he was a rockeer proceed pass the door to the auditorium and then outside. This peaked Jimmy's curiosity and he walked up to the door the student had walked out of and peered through the small window in the door. It seems he was attempting to raise a wall of some sort. A wall wouldn't do much against a spider, but it might provide some cover if people had long range abilities. Presuming that these spiders had weapons, of which Jimmy highly doubted. He decided to leave the man to his devices and walked into the auditorium.

Jimmy took a spot on the wall next to the door, standing at the back of the room. He listened to a few people speak, it seems a girl with force field powers wanted to identify all of the three star people. He much preferred the elder of the Underwood brothers plan. To have everyone identify themselves so we know what we are working with. They should still have about two hours till dawn, though he wasn't sure it applied in the Mock Universe. The three star cryokinetic Luke's view point was very rational and calm. It made the most sense as he agreed with Cyrus. He wished to voice his support of the idea and to give suggestions. "I agree." Jimmy projected over the auditorium. He then made his way to the stage, still talking. "My name is James Murdock, but I want all of you to call me Jimmy." At this point Jimmy reached the stage and jumped on top of it nimbly. "I have the ability to create physical objects with my mind by manipulating the energy my brain gives off called psionic energy. I can create weapons, shields and platforms. I have also been trained since I was 12 in the art of Ninjitsu. I know how to fight and I want everyone to know that I will do my best to support everyone here. Because of the situation we have been thrown into, our survival is centered on each other. We came here strangers, but in order to survive, we must become an army and a family." Jimmy's voice boomed throughout the audience. "Wednesday here has suggested bringing the people that the Peace have deemed leaders, but leaders are only as good as the men and women who follow them. We will need all of you to say your name and power so we all know how we can use your skills to our advantage. No need to come to the stage to say it, you can do it from your seat." Jimmy then looked out over the audience.

He waited a few seconds, but no one said anything. "Look, I know your scared, I'm scared too. I was told yesterday that I was the product of an alien experiment and that today at dawn, giant alien spiders will be coming to kill us. If you are not frightened by that fact, even if you are confident in your abilities, you are an arrogant fool. Everyone feels fear, but my sensei taught me something about fear. The key to fear is not to hide it or forget about it. The key is to face it, with all of it's reality and accept it. Accept this fear, and it can not control you. If you believe that will not work for you, then think about this. The flyer said some will be released today to combat us......some. Not a squadron, not an army, some. There at least 100 of us in this room alone, I doubt everyone came to this meeting so there may be 100 or more through out the building. All of them have powers, ready to combat this threat. Our fear is that of what we don't understand. But, there are over 200 super beings in this building, out there are some big spiders. Why should we fear facing them? The powers we posses are told to be wielded only by the gods!" Jimmy yelled out over the crowd. He then turned around and made his way over to the young bot Briar. He knelt down so 6'2" form was closer to his. "This kid can set things on fire with his mind! I'm guessing if he can do it with a house, he could do it to a spider, right? i realize i have yet to tell you what star rank I am, well, I am a two star. I don't believe peace saw the true potential of leadership in everyone here, but I truly believe they did get it right in the few. I mean, look at Briar. I bet a lot of you are thinking 'How the hell did this kid get to be a three star?' Well, you're all here aren't you? If he hadn't gone over the intercom, most of us would still be sleeping. You might have died in your sleep this day if it it wasn't for this boy." Jimmy said in a serious tone glaring over the crowd.

Jimmy was honestly surprised with himself. He was simply stating what he had been feeling and it seems people were listening. He stood up from where Briar was and made his way toward the end of the stage. "Look, I'm no leader, I simply want to do my best to make sure everyone survives. That does not entail me leading you, so yes, we will need a few leaders to organize all of our talents, but how can we expect to do that if they do not know our talents?" He then made his way far stage left, which was right to the audience. "I have an offensive ability. I suggest that everyone with an offensive ability state it and move your self to this side of the room. Defensive on the opposite and support in the middle. This is simply a suggestion to make it easier on the leaders. I am going to shut up now, and let you think for yourselves." Jimmy then crossed his hand behind his back and stood there silently. Internally he was freaking out, his sensei always said he had potential to help people in more than just fighting, all he had to do was say what he felt and he did. He didn't know if anyone would listen to him, but he put in his incredibly long two-cents worth and that was good enough for him.
