"Dissidia University, it's a lot less theatric than I had imagined" -The male scrolling up from the sheet of paper detailing directions and layout of the campus , he was notoriously bad at commuting to new found areas, the type to easily lose sense of direction, although he was plenty good at covering vast distances on foot seeing as he covered more than 40 miles in only an hour or 2, a good chunk of that hour spent being sidetracked. Perhaps owing this to some of his viera heritage. Viera are naturally gifted sprinters with knowledge of distances and route-making.
-Arms ascending above head followed by a placid yawn, only showing signs of light exhaustion from the effects of his journey. A duffle bag with essential possessions rested atop shoulder, its contents containing: a blitzball, 4 changes of clothes, 3 pairs of shoes, his favorite type of snack, a few magazines and essential bathroom items.-
-Passing through the campus gateway, his eyes carefully seizing every square inch of the remarkable institution. Upon first glance, the school was definitely a marvel worth beholding. The architecture resembled that of arcades and nibelheim as well as many other towns, sort of like a non-distinct collage that held its own identity , but the landscape itself was lush and very well tended. A unattended chocobo grazing to his very left.
"This here is the headmaster's chocobo Krile. It's coat is deeper and bluer than any sapphire , you new here?" The Chocobo's attendant turned facing Kai . The name is Billy but people call me Chocobo Bill. I can tell you're the athlete type, have you visited the dorms yet? This year students have the option of choosing their roommates or being solitaire. Even Co-ed too...
It's nice to meet you Billy and no, I haven't been by the dorms yet but if I can point me in the direction then that would help a lot.
"well, there are 6 houses in all. students tend to congregate based on similar interest but it doesn't really matter which dorm you choose, it's just all in name. There's the dorms owned by the Student body council, these dorms are very high-end and are for funded through the university. They're sort of like the who's who around here even though they're pretty secretive about how they go about accomplishing things. Then there's the Leonhart and Nova dorms respectively. Physical majors tend to reside at leonhart and magic majors go for Nova. Gearheads graviatate towards Zenith, Stealth majors go to Twilight and those who live in-between two or more worlds or haven't come to terms with their focus tends to go to Cyrstal. That's about it, I think.

Caylina wondered around for a while, hoping to bump into someone to explain what to do. She hoped she wouldn't be left to wonder around, lost. Caylina shook her head. They wouldn't do that.... Would they? Caylina hadn't met anyone from somewhere this grand. She looked in awe at the architecture - That was brilliant - and the features - Which were also brilliant - as she wondered through the hallways. She was pretty sure she was going round in circles. But this place couldn't be empty. Could it? No, not when all the students were to arrive. But what is it was wrong? What if she'd set out a day to early? What if she'd misread the letter? Worries flooded into her head.

"I guess that's me, then." Kai turned waving to Chocobo Billy, he would approach the steps located just outside the assembly hall. He would scale the steps, passing through the double doors. Inside the hall, there was a mass convergence of the student body, and diverse in demography as well and more were filling in by the moment. Kai managed to set aside a space for himself behind what appeared to be a bangaa. "No wonder the campus was empty" Kai thought to himself.

"I don't know where you come from but touching a girls bottom is a no-no. No wonder why she's all panicked, it's because some creep is trying to cop a feel.
am I right? -Kai turned facing Caylina now, giving her a nod and mouthing her to play along. he would offer up a hand for her to squeeze if needed, although his hand was a bit sore from punch out the bangaa from earlier. "Nothing to see here people, my girlfriend just got groped but it's fine now. It happens". The crowd eventually averting attention away from the duo. Now setting sight upon center stage where the Dean was set to give his annual lecture. The lecture itself was nothing special for students who attended previously although it was expected that Dean Montblac would address the concerns about the growing campus gang problem.
"Oh yeah, by the way, the name is Kai. Are you a new student as well?"

With heavy steps Raiden stormed to what he believed was the front door and barged in, the door hitting his shoulder as it closed rather violently. Cursing loudly he glared at the door. Shaking his head Raiden stood up straight before extending his left arm and pointing his index finger at the door. "I dislike you!" He shouted loudly and threw his bag down on the floor. "But i will forgive you, because you are a door and its your job to keep the wind out." Shaking his head he picked his rucksack off the ground and turned before making his way down a short corridor into a large hall.
Raiden surveyed the hall from corridor. He would of attempted to count how many were there if he wasn't so frustrated from his long walk to the blasted location. Raiden leaned against the corridor wall as he searched for an empty seat in the hall, resting his brown and muddy rucksack on the ground with its leaning against his leg so it wouldn't fall over. Eventually his eyes came to rest on a seat, he was mere meters away from being able to sit down before disaster struck and he realized it was smack bang in the center of the crowd. "That's a joke..." He said rather just a little bit too loud before shoving his hands in his pockets and attempting to figure out why everyone was here.

Blake runs into the building and straight into the assembly hall. She blushes looking like a tall man standing at 5'9" without shoes and 5'10" in her boots. She notices every eye in the room turn her way after she caused so much noise running into the hall. She looks around blushing badly as she quickly finds a seat and sits embarrassed.

"I understand that there's been a lot of speculation of our school being overrun with threats to safety in the form of campus gangs. We do not condone or endorse the this type of behavior comming from students or faculty. I've personally taken measures to prioritize public saftety by appointing a director of campus security. Everyone meet Kira Palazzo, our new campus security director. "
-The crowd grew stone silent at the utterance of the last word, it couldn't be...- A rather well dressed stern looking man approached the podium, he was so much unlike his father in demeanor and appearance-
Could he really have been related to Kefka Palazzo? The same Kefka Palazzo who tried to purge the entire school 30 years ago? -A slight gesture of the hand revealed that the man had belonged to the student body council at some point. The rings crest unmistaken-

"Left? No. Thats an exit... Right? No again... There!" said Jonas, almost yelling with irriation. As he slowed down, he changed his stride, into more of what Jonas hoped was a sneaky walk. He hated sneaking, but his father once told him that if he always tried to break his problems, instead of thinking creatively, he would be munching on pheonix down like candy for the rest of his life.
As Jonas slowly opened the door, he saw a man being introduced to everyone. Jonas didn't recognize the man, but apperently Jonas would have to watch for this Plaza fellow.
*How can we get ready for a life of fighting if we can't start where we are relatively safe?* thought Jonas as he took an empty seat next to a dark haired kid who was asking what he missed.
Jonas tapped the kid on the shoulder. "Nothing much I bet, ol' Monty thinks the students actually like his speeches. He would probably ramble on all day if we let him.", Jonas whispered, then leaned back in his chair.

"Greetings, the man you see before you speaking to you is in fact the leader of the group known otherwise as the necrophyles, you do not know my face, but I know each and every one of yours. You can choose to call me God or you can call me Jester if you wish , but it doesn't really matter because you will all know me as the man who recreated Dissidia Universitas in his own image.
I also recognize the face of the man known as Kira Palazzo , the necrophyles personally see Lord Kefka as a sort of role model. It is thanks to your father that we owe our existence , it was his brilliance that provided the initial spark that drives our purpose. In turn we hope to honor him by continuing the mission he could not live to see fulfilled. It is a shame to see that his son could not follow his fathers footsteps.
I speak to you here today to warn you that the deans plan to rid the school of gangs and by extension shelter the school from threats of violence, will accomplish nothing. You are not anymore safer under Kira's or Montblac's provisions, the only safety you have is in the mercy of the Necrophyles. Heed my words, any action taken to deter our dominance will be answered in the form of a toll calling for an even greater amount of bloodshed. Violence is natural, the strong must eat the weak for nourishment and so shall the necrophyles devour this pitiful pebble you call a school.
They called us delinquents and outcast, but we are the ones who will bring true change to this school. If you wish to join our ranks, the necrophyles will seek you out.
By the way, beneath this very curtain I have a parting present for all of you who had to sit through Montblac's insufferable speech."

Talon was shocked to see this figure known as "Jester" interrupt Mr. Palazzo's speech. He was also shocked at the contents of the interruption, surprised at how threatening and out right disturbing it was. Sure, the Necrophyles were a nuisance, but he didn't think the were capable of this. He summoned his gunblade, and braced himself after the mention of "A parting present."
"Everybody! Get back!" shouted Kaine, and a couple other members of the Student Council, who had jumped up from their seats, ready to protect the dean and the students from whatever horror lay beneath the curtain.

As the screen flickered into life Raiden lost his trail of thought and tightened his grip on his rusty belt buckle. "Hey, would you look at that..." He muttered quietly before the mans voice boom out over the crowd. His jaw slowly lowered, leaving his mouth open ever so slightly as the stranger talked about being a god, necrophyles and present. His eyes now wide, Raiden lent over, scooped up his rucksack and turned walking down the corridor for the way he entered. "No way am i sitting around there. What if its a bomb? Or something chemical... I best wait outside" He said loudly as he increased his pace and stormed through the door and into the open air of the uni.

-A bead of sweat rolled down the expression of Kira, he would call for an orderly evacuation. Turning sights to the curtain and whatever malignant contents that psycho Jester had left in the wake of his hair raising introduction. In his hands would materialize a pair of side arms, a gunner class apparently-
"Alright, this is the type of thing I've been waiting for. Time to distingush myself, show everyone how badass I am ." Kai thought to himself, he had a tendency to underrate dangerous situations that bordered on oblivious if not outright foolish, although he was genuinely unaffected by this emotion named fear. Springing up onto the stage in a single bound, Kai would approach the stage curtain. Drawing the curtains open to reveal that it was...It had been nothing, could this Jester guy been trolling all along? Kai would tilt his head back to the others, drawing a sharp discontent sigh. At that unguarded moment a metal appendage sprang from out of the darkness , sucker punching Kai. His body was sent back in a blurry outline, impressively, he managed to catch himself before falling. The blow was enough to kill any ordinary man, but only drew a rivulet of blood which he quickly whipped away with a hand.
"That bastard sucker punched me, I'm gonna clock that oversized toaster" Kai not showing any lack of enthusiasm for battle.
From out of the depths emerged a steel titan of formidable size. -It's eyes radiating a bright glow, it seemed to be charging up for its next attack. Turning its gaze upon the group of leftover students, which ironically consisted of the playable characters.-

-Kira would retaliate firing upon the iron giant. He displayed various acrobatic manneuverring, assaulting it with a hail of gunfire, artfully dodging the reach of the titan whenever its arm extended in his direction, while sprinting up the path of one of its arms reach, he then would fire 5 rounds directly into its face at point-blank range . His display although visually impressive didn't appear to have any effect on the robot monstrosity. He would set aside his guns into their appropriate holsters.
" Damnit, this is one of THOSE battles. This monster appears to be impervious to all types of damage, but it has a specific weakness we need to target for it to be vulnerable to all damage types. " Kira would activate his secondary role, that of the scholar class. Standard to the scholar class was the special ability Libra, which allowed Kira to gain insights on his enemies weaknesses. A graphic appeared within Kira's pupils, signaling the activation of the Libra ability-

Talon rose out of his seat as the metal giant emerged. He noticed that most of the other leftover students had begun attacking the behemoth, or preparing to, so, with a loud whir, and a few clicks, his gunblade switched to full-gun mode, taking a shape not unlike a modern-day uzi. He opened fire on the giant, his bullets bouncing off the golem with no avail. When Talon noticed Kira's attacks seemed to be having the same effect, he switched his Blazefire sabre to hybrid sword/gun mode, and ran up to the older man. "Do you have any idea how to fight this thing?" Talon asked Kira.

"Is everyone all in one piece? If you're able to fight, I want those who can to attack the monsters joints. That's its weakpoint. After each charge, the titan has to cool down. Now's our chance. Find a partner to attack one of its joints.
