Thats enough. Nikki got on to a table.
"WHAT IN BUDDHA'S NAME IS WRONG WITH YOU KIDS?" she shouted loud enough to be heard over everyone, she had after all had lots of practice. "DID YOU LAUNCHIES THINK THAT PROVOKING THE OLDER KIDS WOULD ACTUALLY CAUSE ORGANIZATION? AREN'T YOU SUPOSE TO BE SMART? AND YOU OLDER KIDS...YOU THINK YOUR MATURE ACTING LIKE THIS?" Nikki looked at them with disgust, and dropped her voice slightly. "I mean was Hobbes right? Is this hummanities true nature when you get rid of the organization of society?" Nikki looked from kid to kid waiting for an answer.

OOC this is my other Character OOc

Koi stood in the walk way to the mess watching the scene play out, she was just ready to leave to find a more civilized spot to get help when an oriental girl in a badger uniform stood up on a table and stated her case. This girl was way out of line, she wans't a commander and so she didn't have merit to repremand these kids. But Koi had to admire the way she was willing to put herself in a spot of authority, though she had none, to stop the fighting. Koi would stay and if this girl needed help, Koi would use the small amount of authority given to her as a toon leader to do all she could. But for now she wanted to see how this girl handled it.
"I mean was Hobbes right? Is this hummanities true mature when you get rid of the organization of society?"
Koi winced at such a thought. She didn't know to much about the philosophes of the enlightenment but she knew about the contradictory views of Hobbes and Rousseau, and Koi had always sided the idea of a good natured humanity.

Ziggy looked up and shook his head as he saw a few Raven Army soldiers walking towards them. "Uh-oh, this is going to be trouble." he said quietly to himself. But, it was too late to turn back now, despite what some people in the mess thought.

Ziggy knew he was going to need some help so he leaned over and helped Ark get up. "We've got more trouble man." he said to Ark.

And then before he knew it, Ziggy was being pounded on by someone from Raven Army. He turned his attention to try and fend them off.

Taker couldn't beleive how quickly things had turned for the worst. The room had gone from a tense silence to a physical uproar! Taker watched as his friend rushed in to help, and the battle got worse. Frightened, Taker dashed out of the room and to the Badger Barrack.

"We've got more trouble man." said ziggy, helping ark to his feet.

"huh? wha?" replied ark, still a bit out of it from his recent case of the smooshings. giving his brains a vigours shaking, he looked about him, and took stock of the situation.

unfortunately, he had utterly no idea who was fighting who, or what he had to do with it. so, there was only one thing left for him to do.

"KAMIKAZE!" he yelled, and jumped back into the fray, legs and arms swinging wildly, aiming for any and all targets.

Norrock continued to watch with his arms folded. So far not too much blood was spilled just some noses and mouths. So far the fight was just children venting there anger on other children. Norrock did not need to jump in just yet. Now there was a great deal of yelling and the grunts and groans of the fighters as they exchanged blows.

Norrock laughed to himself, the sound not reaching any other ears, as a kid yelled "Kamikaze" and jumped into the battle.

Ziggy heard the yell of "Kamikaze" and he knew that it was Ark. The fight was starting to get serious so Ziggy launched into the group of kids with Ark and started hammering on anyone he could get ahold of before they could get to him.

Shannon was coming down the hall to the mess having just come from the gym. He was tired and covered in sweat. He had decided after leaving the gym that he was in fact hungry and that skipping breakfast and instead working out and not been such a good idea, so he made for the mess.
As he walked in he saw a site that made him want to pass out with laughter. There were kids of all ages, shapes and sizes engaged in a large fight.the last time he had been in such a fight he had not come out of it conciously. It had been with about 100 hundred people and they had all just jumped in at once hitting anything and everything, he of course was by far the smallest. He decided to give it another shot and aimlessly jumped in not knowing what the fight was even about, having just arrived from earth.

Shannnon took quite a few hits here and there, but he had taken blows before and so he was not slowed by them. He took em and then gave them back. After a while he started to wonder what the fight was about and how long it would take the teachers to arrive and break it up. He started giving cat calls and would occasionaly get hit for it and the fight would go onto him it seemed like hours though he was sure it was only a ful few minutes long. Then he recognized some one he had heard called ziggy and yelled out "hey ziggy, what we fight about?"

The fighting persisted, Nikki rolled her eyes. This is stupid and pointless, obviously Hobbes had been right. So right, infact that, you couldn't even explain to humans how savage-like they were. This is what we are trying to save? She thought to herself. If Nikki had posessed any faith at all in humanity, she was sure she would have lost it after seeing this sight. The most brilliant earth could produce, resorting to physical violence just because stupid things were said and someones pride was hurt.
Nikki decided the best thing for her to do was make one more attempt to reach these morons. So she walked over to the pile of fighting boys and began pulling them off of each other one by one.

OOC Nikki can pull you of if you want her to just type it like she did. if you don't want her to then she's just messing with NPC ( so you know I wasn't godding anyone just givving them a choice to type a new situation ) OOC

"Hey why did you have to do that?", Shannon was surprised by a sudden hand that had pulled him from his brawl with the other guys. What shocked even more was finding it had been a girl who had pulled him away. "ya know i was having fun down there"!

Nikki looked at the kid in disgust, "Look, you boys will have plenty of time to be animals after we find out whats wrong with the school." Nikki went back to pulling kids from the fight.
"Are you gonna help me or not?" She asked the kid who had protested her intervention in the fight. "These kids better settle down 'fore they tic me of and I whip all there butts." she said pulling a rather spunky launchy out of the tangle of bodies.

OOC Again, for all those "spunky" launchies fighting, if you want this kid I pull out to be you just post it like it is, if not then it was a NPC OOC

Ziggy was starting to get a little worried. There were more people joining in the fight now, a lot of them he didn't even recognize. He saw his fellow launchies in there fighting though and that kept him going.

"Is that all you got!" Ziggy screamed at the Raven Army members who were currently hammering on him, as he dived back into the pile.

That was what the girl had asked him. For a moment he stood in silence before he finaly decided that he would since he had no motive to do eighther way except that this might reprieve him in atleast her eyes. So he began pulling from the pile.

"woah!" cried ark as he was suddenly grabbed by an ankle and pulled from the fight... by a girl.

"hey! put me down!" he called, swinging his fists rather inefectually at her legs.

The launchy Nikki had pulled from the pile began to swing at her feet. Nikki had to stop herself from laughing, did this kid know who he was playing with? Nikki had so often put up with fools like this at the orphange back home that she knew exactly how to handle the little jerk. Nikki grabbed hold of both of the kids arms and began to drag him across the mess. She knew her grip had to be hurting the kids arms because she had done this so often and was very good at it.
" 'Scuse me sir," she said in a voice that mocked the authority of the earthside law enforcers, "I'm gonna need you to calm down and learn to treat ladies with some respect."

After seeing many kids join the brawl and a lone girl start pulling the fights apart Norrock decided it was enough.

He was one of the biggest kids in the mess. Some of the kids had already given him some weird looks and the scars on his face and arms didn't help the fact. Norrock finally took a step toward the fight so he was not close enough to hit but so where everyone could see him.

"STOP!!!" Norrock yelled over the fight so everyone could hear him clearly.

"IS THIS THE WAY SOLDIERS ACT? WE ARE SUPPOST TO BE WORKING TOGETHER, NOT FIGHTING EACH OTHER LIKE DOGS!"

Disgust filled Norrocks face.

"SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE AND YOU..." Norrock pointed at some fighters "...You would rather fight for your honor and pride then to fix the problem right here in battle school ."

Finished with his little speech Norrock stared, arms folded, at the fighters with a deadly gaze and waited for what they would do.

Shannon lookes at the boy who compared to the rest of them was rather large and he looked at the group of boys who looked at the bigger boy awkwardly and then he thought, some one needs to say more.
"I guess we are no different then the people that we left behind earthside, I mean sure we might be smarter but what good is that if don't use those extra smarts to do something. Any huligan on the street can pile into a fight and swing away, but it takes something else in a person to get organized and avoid those kinds of things. Whatever that special thing is, we need to find it in our selfs and use it to unite and organize battle school into some thing respectable and will take the efforts of everyone, So what do you say to ending these senseless brawls?"
He didn't know if anyone had listened to a word he said but he had done the best he could to help get the bigger boy and the girls point across the the other people. He though thought senseless line of bull crap and doubted it would have any affect, but he would wait and see.

"I'm gonna need you to calm down and learn to treat ladies with some respect." said the gril who was currently dragging him away fro mthe fight.

"well, i would... but they dont exactly seem to respect me, now do they?"he said, wincing from the grip she held his hands in.

norrock yelled at the fighters, and his comments were followed by another. beingthe annoying little launchie he was, ark also spoke up.

"thats what i was trying to say before that big ox attacked me!"

"Oh you'll be okay." Nikki said letting go of the kids arm. Nikki walked over to the boy who had stopped the fighting. Oh how she admired his strength.
"Names Nikki," she said offering her hand, "Thanks for doing what I couldn't. Either nobody heard me," Which she doubted, "Nobody understood me," Which she doubted even more, "Or I'm missing the bit of anatomy that gets these baffoons to listen to you."

OOC Hey Norrock, I don't know if you've heard about the plot thats being formulated in which a gang of kids corrupts the school or not, but we are kinda missing the devils advocate that heads the mutiny, and we are looking for someone to continue the idea. Right now You and me can have our characters form an alliance and we can head the rebellion if thats cool with you. Let me know what you think. OOC

Ziggy turned around to see Norrock yelling at everybody. He looked and almost everyone had stopped fighting and were staring at Norrock. Ziggy didn't really agree with what he had to say, after all they were just having some fun, but he listened and stopped fighting for the moment.

Norrock shook Nikki's hand. As Norrock looked into Nikki's eyes he saw, was it wonder ? Norrock never had someone look at him that way, and she was a girl. Norrock almost felt himself blush but controlled himself.

"Hi my name is Norrock. Don't worry too much. These kinds of people will react to a big guy like me." Norrock let the smallest of smiles cross his face. "Why don't you come sit with me at my table and we can talk some more and..." Norrock looked around "The fight has seemed to calm down."

Norrock started to walk towards his table in the corner and then looked back to see if she was following him.

-OOC Sure I would love to be apart of that story. Your character never said anything about it IC so come tell Norrock about it at the table. You know Norrock is a launchy right? OOC-

OCC The rebellion isn't planned in IC My character is just going to get eveyone worked up, and then hand it over to her commander(if he comes back) who will run it like the mafia. OOC

Nikki followed Norrock over to the table. "Outta line or not, the truth is those other launchies were right," she said taking a seat. "We need to organize these buggers. I have a plan and a little bit of seniority, you have muscle and the bits of anatomy I'm missing. Let's form an alliance, and these kids under control and doing somthing productive."

Norrock made a show of flexing for Nikki. Even some people from other tables glanced at him either in admiration or venom.

"Sounds great but I want to get one point across. I may have the talent to be the brawn but I can also be the brain. That is why they chose us."

Norrock took a bite of his now cold meal but the food felt great from a near empty stomach.

"So this plan of yours... what did you have in mind?"

Norrock looked around and saw that even though the fight had cooled down the big kids were still in the mess.

"Or should we talk about this else where? The game room is empty because there is no power, we could also try the gym... unless you have a better idea?"

“Hey, Haven, Laken. Don’t hang around. There’s someone here you might want to say hello to.”

Haven looked up once again at the fighting going on and shook her head. She had seen the Sphinx uniforms, but didn't care all that fighting and nonsense had been somewhat taken care of when they were all trapped in the launchy barracks a short while before.

"What you want? I ain't helping a little bugger like you," Haven snapped back.

Tuck had climbed off the table and was now inching his way towards Bree, hands outstretched. Finally Tuck grabbed hold of Bree's leg and started to drag her closer.

Zeke had taken quite a beating from the small launchies, he hadn't expected so many of them to come to the aid of one and was disappointed in his other teammates and other soldiers who had not come to his and Tuck's. He had been rolled off the launchy and almost off the table, he pulled himself up and now climbed down.

"Outta line or not, the truth is those other launchies were right," she said taking a seat. "We need to organize these buggers. I have a plan and a little bit of seniority, you have muscle and the bits of anatomy I'm missing. Let's form an alliance, and these kids under control and doing somthing productive."

"Why don't you all just butt the hell out. This has nothing to do with you or what that little bugger said. This is between us and those snotty little pukes," Tuck yelled from the floor.

While Tuck's attention was elsewhere, Bree took the opportunity to try and struggle free from his grip. While doing so, Bree accidentally kicked Tuck in the face hard. Although his grip around her ankle released, his glare struck her motionless.

"Why you little...." Tuck said holding his nose, which was now dribbling blood.

The kid who had yelled the comment to stupid to answer was now sporting a bloody nose which he had recieved from a launchy girl.
"Hot damn, I think I just found my hero for the day, lets stay here" Nikki said looking at the young girl.
"Alright," Nikki said turning back to Norrock, "We need to set up some sort of...team like structure, appoint people we trust to do a good job as oficials to look after the younger or stupider kids."

"Is there anyone you would trust with that sort of job? I haven't gotten to know the other launchies really well. I don't want any backstabers when times get hard." Norrock took another bite of his food. "So how is this structure going to work? Are you my boss or are we equals?" Norrock said as he chewed the cold meal. "And the new people coming in, should we "test" there loyalty?" Norrock grinned.

It seemed to Shannon that his own little "do good" speech had attracted little attention. If anything it had made the othersshy away from him and isolate him as if because he had helped end the fight he was a defector and scum.
This dissappointed him because he knew if he ever wanted to command he would have to be liked or atleast respected and at the moment he was neighther.
So realizing he had nothing more to do here and the action seemed to have dissapated his hunger he left. Not knowing were he would go, but knowing he might have better luck else where.

"Idoits" Nikki commented to the kids who started fighting again. She thought for a moment, and tried to remember how she ran things at the orphanage when she took over.
"I've played the boss before, and it's not a road I want to revisit, paticuliarly because it lead here." She nodded her head in the direction of the kids fighting as a way of justifying her statement. "I've never had a partner, because there was never a kid smart as me. I'd like to see how that works out." She offered her hand as a way of binding their new alliance.

OOC We are supose to be rebelling against the commanders and the teachers. We end up not wanting to stop the virus. If your character can get the mess quiet again I'll have Nikki make a speech about getting other kids to join us. To everyone else in the mess: I hope you join cause it sure is going to be fun. EDIT: I made us an ooc so we can talk there OOC

Throughout the first round of fighting, Ryan had sat to one side watching. He had lead these kids from the barracks to the communications centre and had worked together with the stronger members if the launch to get them through their current predicament. Now at the first opportunity, they had gotten into a fight with the very people they should have avoided. Ryan decided to let them go and be taught a lesson, as the one he had been trying to teach them didn’t seem to be getting across.

The fight broke up nearly as quickly as it had begun with a few soldiers coming away more beaten up than the launchies which made him slightly proud. A few of the other kids and soldiers had shouted out to stop the fighting, but Ryan knew that it would do no good. Just as another was calling for peace, the fighting died down and eventually stopped. Ryan turned to Norrock and saw that he was taking to a solider off to one side. He could tell from his stance that they obviously thought that they had had something to do with stopping the fighting. Ryan knew better. The fighting wouldn’t stop here. There maybe no more bloodshed today, but that only meant that the fighting would become something even more vicious, more deadly.

Movement caught his attention from the corner of his eye. Where he had been watching Ark extract himself from the pile of bodies, he was now preparing to charge at Tuck. Fortunately for Ryan, he took too long and was yelling his usual cry of “KAMIKAZE!” Before he had taken two steps, Ryan shot forward and pounced on Ark, holding him back.

“Don’t you ever learn mate?” Before he could do anything to stop him, Ziggy shot forward into the fray.

“ZIGGY!” Ryan yelled to his retreating back. Shaking his head he pushed Ark down into his seat. “Stay there!”

Waking over to Ziggy, Ryan grabbed him by the collar and pulled him backward as he glanced at Bree struggling with Tuck. She had managed to extract herself from his grip, but the blood running down his chin and the look on his face meant that she would suffer an even greater pain later on. Catching her eyes, he nodded his head toward where he had shoved Ark indicating that they should gather together.

Pulling Ziggy along with him, Ryan walked back to Ark. Looking around for the other members of the launch, Ryan noticed that Norrock was now shaking hands with the girl soldier. Happy that at least one of his launch was sensible enough to make friends with the older soldiers he called over to him. “Norrock, over here. Bring your new friend with you.”

Norrock shook Nikki’s hand and smiled making the deal. "Partners it is." Norrock looked over and saw Ryan breaking up the fight with force and was proud to have such a person in his launch. Ryan called him over to the launchy table where Ark, Ziggy, Bree sat. Norrock grabed Nikki by the hand and walked over to that table and sat down. Norrock sighed and said

"I am glad that is over... for now. I am glad to see you stopped it Ryan, I thought it was going to get nasty"

Norrock smiled at all the launchies around him proud that they had won the brawl against the bigger kids.

"So Ryan what did you need?"

“So Ryan what do you need?” Norrock asked.

Panting with the effort of getting Ark and Ziggy away from the fight, Ryan replied. “Just wanted to get us together and out of their way.” Pointing to the angry looking Tick and Zeke, Ryan did not want to consider the consequences of today’s events. He didn’t know how, but he did know that they had to make peace with those two else somebody was going to get seriously hurt. He doubted that it would be them, more likely Bree, Ark or Cole with his smart mouth that he couldn’t keep shut.

Looking at Ark and Ziggy he asked, “What do you think you were doing? Did you think you’d win against Tuck and Zeke? We need to fight them when we outnumber them or have an advantage over them. We’re launchies. We may have had more numbers but they outmanned us in every other way imaginable.” Glancing at Norrock, Ryan grinned. “Except for the big fella here.” Ryan continued. “An even better idea, find another alternative and don’t fight them at all.”

Nikki stood next to Norrock who was sitting with his launchy friends. She was still in shock from the fact that Norrock had grabbed her hand and pulled her over here. No one touched Nikki. Ever. And it wasn't somthing she complained about, but she liked Norrock, the way he grabbed her was the same as if they were childhood friends going off to play a game of tag. The action whispered a hint of comfort and familiarity, and until now those things had been utterly unknown to her. So she stood in silence and would wait to be introduced by her new partner. Her new friend.

his kamikaze run having been interupteed in midflight, ark now say with the other launchies, while tuck and zeke made evil eyes at them.

“What do you think you were doing? Did you think you’d win against Tuck and Zeke?" said ryan, continuing on into other statements as well.

"but they attacked us!!" cired ark. "i was just..." his voice trailed off as he realized no one was listenign to him.

Norrock liked what Ryan had to say to the other launchies. "We just need to find a better way to solve the problem." Norrock looked over a Nikki who even though was silent had that spark in her eye. "We just keep ignoring the situation and start blaming the other kids. What do you think Ryan?" Norrock kept thinking about over and over in his head but could not come up with any logical answer; he was hoping that Ryan would.

//ooc-you've left tuck near bree, i hate to do this to myself, but oh well-ooc//

"must... save... Camo! KAMIKAZE!"

Bree watched as Ark began to launch himself onto Tuck, but was stopped by a very stern looking Ryan. This still left Tucker within striking range of her and his bleeding nose, her chances of getting out of this situation unharmed had dropped severly.

While Tuck's attention was elsewhere, Bree pulled herself off the floor and started to back away. She hadn't taken four steps when she backed into something little softer than the wall. She turned her head slowly, hoping she had run into one of the other launchies. But she hadn't, she'd ran right into Zeke.

"And where do you think you're going?" Tuck said, wiping the blood from his face as he walked towards her.

There had only been one other time Bree had seen Tuck look at her the way he was looking at her now and it sent chills down her spine. He wouldn't, not with all these kids around...he wouldn't dare. But with each step he took towards her, the knot in her stomach tightened.

Tuck balled up his fist and pulled back his arm, readying to release all his anger, all his resentment towards Bree. Finally he let his fist fly.

Hands over her face, Bree closed her eyes. She had deserved it, she knew that. She knew it had nothing to do with what had happened at Battle School, it was what had happened on Earth that made him so angry with her. He still can't let it go, can he? Bree's whole body tensed up, awaiting Tuck's blow.

A hand grabbed the back of Bree's shirt and swung her around. Bree crashed onto the floor once more. She quickly sat up and opened her eyes. Zeke, now doulbled over in pain had taken Tuck's blow.

"What the..." Bree said under her breath.

"Why'd you do that?" Tuck said taking a step back. "Move."

"No," Zeke replied, straightening himself.

"Come on move," Tuck said as if Zeke had been joking with him.

"No."

"Move Zeke!"

Tuck started to come at Bree once more, but Zeke's outstretched arm stopped Tuck in his tracks.

"It's not the time," Zeke said, trying to push Tuck back towards the mess door. "Let's go."

"But..." Tuck said in protest.

But he didn't protest long and as Zeke ushered Tuck from the mess, Bree sat there still trying to ponder what had happened.

Ryan’s attention was turned to Norrock and the others. It wasn’t until he heard the scuffling going on behind him that he turned to see Bree being thrown to the floor by Zeke. His first instinct was to rush to her side and help fight off Zeke, but he soon saw that Zeke was in fact defending her from Tuck.

The ensuing argument between Zeke and Tuck had Ryan completely confused. Wasn’t Tuck the voice of reason? Whatever the reason for the sudden role reversal, Ryan was more concerned that Bree kept getting into trouble with these two. She had hinted at a past with Tuck back on Earth, but when he had asked about it she hadn’t seemed to want to talk about it. Now though, it seemed that whatever the issue was, it would soon envelope the launch.

He approached Bree and knelt down beside her putting his hand on her arm. “Are you alright? What happened?”

following ryan, ark rushed to bree's side and helped her to her feet.

"what is WITH those two?!" he asked, partly to himself and not really expecting an answer. turning to ryan he said "whatever we are going to do here, we need to get going with it before even more goes wrong..." pausing to consider what he just said, ark quickly ammended his statement. "...or before i get bored and cause more bloody trouble."

Cole stood back while Ryan and Ark went to Bree's side. He called out to the backs of Tuck and Zeke as they left the Mess. "You better run you buggerlovers!!"

"Thats not a valid statement." Nikki said quietly to herself. It seemed to her that only one of the two boys were buggerlovers, the other had relized that they had gone too far and stopped it.

"You don't know 'em like we do then. Trust me, the're buggerlovers!"

Cole realised that he didn't know who he was talking to so he stuck out his hand and introduced himself. "I'm Cole. I'm the best soldier in this launch.... at least I will be."

"Why do you THINK you’re the best?"

Norrock gave an angry look to Cole.

"We are ALL smart here and no ONE deserves the title "best". We are here to be soldiers in the fight against the buggers not stupid children fighting to be better then everyone else. If you are trying to be better then everyone else and not be apart of this team, then this is not the place for the likes of you."

Norrock made sure to give him the meanest look he could as he stared into his eyes...

into his soul...

"Wow man, don't ya think that was a little harsh." said Ziggy, "The only way some people can do their best is if they think they're the best."
