Revolution

Dan came first, with yet another detention slip in hand. Xavier had to admit, he didn't expect him to pass up the record so fast, on the first day even, that was unheard of. Though, at the same time, one had to feel some sort of worry for Daniel's academics...

"Hey Xavier, are you planning on fitting everyone in your car?" Dan asked, which caused him to take a deep sigh.

"Yeah....I was hoping Jack could take some of you guys but, he's nowhere to be found...sheesh." He shook his head, a slightly disappointed look on his visage.

"I thought you wanted me to ride with you?" A teasing voice called out from not to far away; it was Aemyle. She topped off her jab by sticking out her tounge at him. Xavier laughed, throughly amused.

"Aha, you're learning well," He said, impressed, as she strolled over to join them, "Nah, you got me. I'd be crushed if I missed the chance to have you in my ride." The fellow in the glasses smirked playfully. Aemyle had a wide smile on her face, as if she had some exciting news to convey to him and the others. "We'll probably have to lap up..." The thought instantly made his face shift from brown, to a hint of red.

"I found out what my power is, think of a song you are fond of, but don't tell me what it is." She instructed them, Xavier nodded and brought his finger to his chin to ponder. Finally, he came up with one, and the tune played through his mind like elevator music.

Wake up, things might get tough,
No need to stress, hold ya back too much,
Wake up, I heard they found a solution,
Where will you be for the revolution?

He wondered what this all had to do with her power, but for now, he just went along with it...and got lost in the music.

With some delight, Demetri watched the student's individual reactions to Limbo. Don seemed to be adjusting fairly well, even taking the chance to sneak a peek at some ladies up above. Valor, well, he seemed fine enough, lost in his own thoughts. The girl, Naydelle, he couldn't quite tell, she was completely still. And Joel, the necromancer was busy observing the scene underneath their feet: Negative 8-Bit.

"That's...what is that underneath us Demetri?" Joel asked him, crouching down to get a better look. You could barely see the town through all of the swirling black fog. Only a few skyscrapers were tall enough to cut through, the main one being the Eos Corp building. Demetri looked at him with a curious glance and a risen brow. "If that's 8-Bit above us...then...?" Still crouched to the glass ground, Joel looked at the man with big red eyes.

"Well, that's 8-Bit too, just it's Negative version." He was intentionally holding back information.

"Negative...?" Joel was confused.

"That's all you need to know for now, I've got something a lot more interesting to show you all; a little bit of training." With a wide smirk, he snapping his fingers. A strange swirling blackness formed behind him, twisting and turning until it formed a wide circular hole in space. "We're going to another dimension; finish what I have for you to do in there...and I'll tell you everything." Dreads chuckled with a cheery glint in his golden eyes.

Peering sharply into the Gate Demetri created, Joel could see the faint image of what looked a bit like the Roman Collesium, what did that mean?
What did Demetri have in store for them.

"What...do you want us to do?" Joel asked him, cautiously. Demetri nodded, both to his own self and the boy.

"There are nine others who've got powers such as yourself. Their students just like you, but they obtained their powers from someone malevolent, and are aligned with this fellow. If these students and their Master have their way, you can say bye bye to 8-Bit, and maybe even the world as you know it." For the magnitude of his words, Demetri spewed them out rather dully. "In that portal is a place where you can battle monsters to your hearts content, and get stronger to fight against that evil." He looked at each one of them with an icy stare.

"I won't blame ya if you wanna turn back. I've got another stop to make back in 8-Bit, so if you want me to...I'll drop you off. But just know that without your help, this town is done for." He held his hand out, ready to lead whoever accepted his offer into the Gate, and to a new Dimension...and perhaps an entirely new life.

((crappy post, sorry guys. by the by, Neko my song is Kid Cudi Revolution, when I get by a computer I'll post the actual link.))

Back in the lobby, Xavier was happy to see the rest of their group forming up, minus Charlotte and Jack though. He only waved though, still trying to focus on the melody playing in his head; he didn't want to lose it through chatting.
Jayx though, with the aid of her friends, was able to keep a tune going while still doing six other things. So while Odd sung away that tune of 'Somewher. Over the Rainbow', she walked a bit closer towards the three freshmen, a simple smile on her face.

"Yep! We're gonna go see Demi. I'm sure he can clear aaaall of this up." She turned her head a bit towards Xavier, Daniel and Aemyle's position, "Aemyle figured out her power, she told em' to think of a song...but I dunno what for yet." The freckled girl shrugged, hiding her impatience. She couldn't wait to go see her friend in the shopping district. "I wonder where Jack and Charlotte are..." Jayx looked around, trying to spot them, but to no avail.
