"They're coming. You know how far some of the other cities are." Markus responded. "Good," Saplar said. "Are you okay?" Markus asked. Saplar raised an eyebrow in confusion. "From Thursday night I mean," Markus said. Saplar looked down with a sad expression on her face. "Not really. Rei was a good guy. I can't even imagine how his sister felt. I wish I could've done something." Saplar said with a sigh. Markus bit his lip as if contemplating something. "What's wrong?" Saplar asked. "Well, you kind of did something," Markus said with a worried laugh. "What are you talking about?" Saplar asked. "Well, you went to go save Lola's son because he was stuck under some rubble. When you got back X-Static was dead. You lost it and I'm pretty sure you can guess what happened from there." Markus said with a sigh. Saplar felt herself shivering. Wait it was her fault Rei was dead? More importantly, why couldn't she remember? Was it a side effect of that? Because she didn't get her ability naturally she can't keep it under wraps? What if she lost control again? What if she ended up killing John, Seraphina, Evie, or anyone else she cared about? Before her mind could even flash to such dark thoughts she felt two hands on her shoulders. Markus was looking back at her with a focused gaze. "Look I know you're scared. But trust me when I say that you won't end killing anyone you care about. Well talk about it to the boss and he'll figure out what to do about it from there okay." Markus asked. This managed to calm Saplar down as she responded with "You're right. I'll see the boss as room as I can to see if this has ever happened before with his ability. We should just focus on the mission right now." Saplar said. Markus smiled as he said, "Alright sweetie and remember code names." Saplar gave a smile and nodded in agreement. "Ah, there you two are. We were beginning to assume you both didn't show up." a feminine voice said. Their heads see two figures in the slightly dimly lighted street. One is a 5'6 female with long brown hair with short bangs, fair skin, purple eyes, a grey jacket hoodie with a purple dragon, a black face mask with a skull, black jeans, and black shoes. The other figure next to her is a boy that's also 5'6 with short light orange hair, lightly tanned skin, green eyes, a similar jacket with a hoodie, blue shorts, and black shoes. "What were you two talking about?" the boy asked. "Nothing important," Saplar said. "Sorry about that. Are you two ready "Silver" and "Fortune?" Markus asked. Both gave him firm nods as Markus said "Alright come on "Rose." Markus said as he turned to leave the alleyway. Rose nodded and left the alleyway as the rest followed suit.

Rose put a hand to the earpiece in her ear as she walked down the streets. ["Do you see our target Fortune?"] Rose asked. ["Yeah. See that tall building in the back?] Fortune asked. Saplar responded with a yes. ["She's in there with two of her bodyguards and six of her underlings patrolling the town right now."] Fortune responded. ["So which ones am I dealing with?" Rose asked. ["There are two women one's named Janice with an ability called Quick Dash and the other's name is Wanda and her's is Launcher."] "Their abilities sound straight forward enough. Thanks, Fortune. I'll check back in with you later." Saplar said. Just as the raven-haired girl turned off her earpiece two women walked around the corner. 'Speak of the devil.' Saplar thought as she adjusted her hoodie. The first woman Janice had fair skin with a faint blush on her cheeks, blue-colored hair in a low bun, yellow eyes, a white buttoned-up shirt, a grey skirt, and black high-heels. Wanda also had fair skin, pink waterfall braids, purple glasses, cyan eyes, a blue shirt, long grey pants, and black high heels. Janice was the first to notice Rose as she yelled: "Who the hell are you?" The mint eyed girl responded with "I'm Rose a Superhero." "Tch please, you're just some kid playing dress-up. Get out of here! We don't want trash like you here!" Janice screamed. "Oh yeah make me!" Rose challenged. "Then we will!" Wanda responded.

Janice's eyes glowed gold as she ran towards Rose leaving a blue streak behind her. Rose quickly dodged and countered with a swift kick in the gut. "UGH!" Janice exclaimed in agony. Before Rose could perform a follow-up strike she quickly let go of Janice to dodge two orange circular blasts of energy. The blasts exploded as soon as they hit the pavement. As Janice slowly wobbled up Rose's eyes glowed. However, instead of mint-green, they glowed red (not if Janice and Wanda could tell) as two massive plant vines appeared out of the ground and tightly wrapped themselves around both women. Both struggled in the plant's grip and all of a sudden Wanda screamed and fell into unconsciousness. "The hell did you do?!" Janice yelled. "Well, I can't just stay here forever can I? Besides its not like I drained all of her blood she'll be awake in a few hours." Rose nonchalantly said. Janice kept fighting against the plant's thorns but she also fell unconscious. ["Rose! Behind you!"] Fortune screamed into the earpiece. Before Rose could turn around she heard a man let out a blood-curdling scream. The man with short grey hair fell to his knees as two steel pencils stuck out of his legs. Silver appeared as she delivered a quick chop to the back on the man's head rendering him unconscious. "My apologies Rose. This one escaped while I wasn't looking." Silver said. "It's alright. What about Mars?" Rose asked. "I was just in contact with him. He said he's finished and he'll be waiting by the building and he asked I remain on stand by in case Elia has any leverage." Silver said. "Well good luck and please be careful Silver," Rose said. SIlver gave a small smile as she said "There is no need to worry about me. After all, I've been doing this slightly longer than you and Mars have." Silver said. Rose just rolled her eyes with a smile and said: "Alright see ya." With that Rose walked off and Silver slinked back into the shadows.

Mars was sitting on the ground in front of the building as Rose approached. "Sure took your sweet time," Mars said cooly. "Well, I could always leave." Rose joked. "Hahaha. Yeah right. Come on let's finish this job so these people don't have to suffer anymore." Mars said. Rose gave a nod as they both walked into the building. The building looked similar to a CEO's office with the bottom floor being the lobby. In the back of the room was an elevator as Mars pressed the button and the elevator opened he said: "After you mildly." Rose giggled a little before saying "My what a gentlemen." ["If you two are done with your weird flirting you should both know that both guards are near the left and right side of the elevator respectively. The woman's name is Cali and her ability is Shadow Arrow and the man's name is Louis and his ability is Venom."] Fortune said. Rose put a finger to her chin as she said "Yeah Mars you should deal with Elia I'll deal with the other two. Even though I trust that you won't get hit by Louis' ability I should fight him since my ability gives me immunity to toxins." Rose said. Markus gave her a nod of understanding as he stepped to the side. "Fortune are they still on the elevator's blindspots?" Rose asked. ["Yeah they're still there and they've had to had seen the elevator counting up so they're going to try and surprise you."] Fortune responded. Rose gave Fortune a quick thank you and as the elevator neared the top floor Rose's eyes glowed red once more as she focused. 'Alright, Saplar you can do this just swarm them and buy Markus some time to deal with Elia.'

Inside of the office was Elia who was sitting on the desk. She had fair skin, pink eyes, long wavy blond hair, an orange blouse, a grey skirt, and black shoes. She sat on the desk with a satisfied smile because someone was trying to take her down again but this time she wasn't alone since she had two of her lackeys with her. Cali and Louis. Cali was a woman with long silver hair, fair skin, blue eyes, a white button up-shirt, grey slacks, and white shoes. Louis was a man with short black unkempt hair, lightly tanned skin, purple eyes, a green shirt, khaki pants, and black shoes. As they both waited for the elevator doors to open with their abilities activated the elevator dinged. The elevator's doors opened and everyone was surprised to see a swarm of rose petals instead. Both guards were caught off guard when the petals surrounded them in a whirlwind blocking their vision. Elia who's never seen anyone in the town with an ability like that activated her's as she wildly shot magical bullets out from her hands and into the elevator. Much to her confusion all of her bullets had gone astray and none had hit the interior of the elevator. Her confusion was replaced with anger when she saw Mars casually walk out from one side of the elevator. She didn't even bother saying anything as she shot more bullets towards Markus who stood still as they were knocked off course by an invisible force. "What!" Elia exclaimed. All of a sudden Louis and Cali were sent back flying into the side of the wall which created a large crater. They both laid there motionless and Elia turned to see Rose standing there with small bruises on her skin. She held out one hand towards Rose and the other towards Mars. Golden bullets rapidly fired towards their targets as Mars kept using invisible energy to block while Rose took cover behind a pillar. Eventually, Mars broke through and knocked Elisa unconscious. "To be honest that was pretty disappointing. Even with her ability amplified she wasn't that difficult." Mars said with a sigh. "I mean we're both god-tiers so that's no surprise. Had Silver been the one to go then yes she would've given her a bit of trouble." Rose said as she pulled out some rope to tie Elia up. She pulled out a syringe and before injecting her took a look to see other injection wounds. "The same thing as the last one injection wounds," Rose said as she injected Elia. Mars did the same with the Louis and Cali. Mars put a hand to his earpiece as he said "Yo Fortune and Silver. We're done. Are you both ready to drop them off at the police station?" Mars asked. "Yes. I am ready. I was keeping watch so they don't escape again." Silver said. ["Alright. See you three there.] Fortune responded. "Hey, Mars what was up with the jokes?" Rose asked. "Have to cheer you up some don't I?" Mars responded. Rose just gave a smile and said "Thanks." "Don't mention it," Mars said. Mars and Rose with their bound enemies slung them over their shoulders and left Reffun Point to turn them into the authorities.

When Saplar made it back to Wellston she took off her Superhero clothes and after hiding them again collapsed onto the bed. She took a peek at the alarm clock as she muttered with slight confusion"Its only midnight?" 'Eh. Whatever. At least I get to sleep, unlike Thursday. Relying on the sun upon; to recharge your energy isn't as helpful if you're rarely outside.' Saplar thought as she drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Blyke was walking down his usual route to class while checking some of his papers. Unbeknownst to him, Isen was running towards him at Mach speed. Isen slowed down as he slowly raised his hands up not to alert Blyke who he then pushed while yelling "GOOD MORNING!" Blyke jumped from fright as he screamed "GAH! sonova-bitch!"Blyke turned towards Isen with an aggravated expression on his face. "ISEN WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU'RE SO FREAKING LOUD!" he yelled. "Relax man. Woah you look terrible. Did Turf Wars kick your ass again?" Isen asked nonchalantly. Blyke who immediately got offended responded with "SHADDAP! AT LEAST I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT ONTO THE ROSTER!" "Hey, I could totally make Turf Wars if I wanted to! I'm just not into that kind of stuff!" Isen responded. "Yeahsurewhateveryousaybroibelieveyou." Blyke sarcastically responded. His expression turned into a smug one as he said "Anyway. I'll have you know. Seraphina went yesterday." Isen had a look of pure shock on his face as Blyke thought 'Hehe! That's right!' "NO WAY! You got to see her in action?! Isen asked. "Yuup!" Blyke cheerfully chirped. "Aww man, you are so lucky! She must've wiped the other team out." Isen said. "Well actually she attacked Ar--" Blyke's eyes widened with surprise as he remembered he wasn't supposed to say anything. "Erm. I just remembered I'm not supposed to talk about it." Blyke said nervously. "Seriously? So you're just going to leave me hanging?" Isen asked with a disappointed expression. Blyke didn't say anything as he squeezed his paper which prompted Isen to pat him on the back as he said "Come on I know you can't keep a secret. Spit it out and you'll feel better." "O-okay promise you won't tell anyone?" Blyke asked nervously. "Sure!" Isen exclaimed. Soon the redhead found himself spilling to Isen about what happened at Turf Wars.

Now with John and Saplar, the former had a paper in his hand as he scratched his head. 'I got so carried away with the weekend. I completely forgot I have a huge history test today!' John thought. He turned towards Saplar who held a binder towards her chest and was looking down. 'What makes it worse is that Saplar explained it to me. Shit, I'm so screwed!' John thought. He tried to cram as much knowledge into his head as soon as possible. Unbeknownst to him Arlo and his lackey Holden weren't too far from them. Holden had short cyan hair and had the Wellston school uniform on sans the vest. John and Saplar kept walking only for John to bump into Arlo. Arlo gave them a slight glare. 'FUCK! JOHN! SHIT I NEED TO COVER FOR HIM! Which Royal is that? I just looked at the names and rankings. I didn't bother with pictures.' Saplar thought. "S-sorry! W-we weren't p-paying a-attention t-to w-where w-we w-were g-going!" Saplar stuttered as she gave a quick bow. 'JOHN PLAY ALONG! I AM BEGGING YOU!' Saplar worriedly thought. John who was used to not being afraid of high-tiers said: "Ah sorry about that." 'We are so screwed!' Saplar thought. Holden then grabbed John's shoulder "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" he yelled. "Umm....craming?" John stated like it was obvious. "YOU JUST BUMPED INTO THE KING AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?" Holden yelled. 'Wait. That blond-haired guy is Arlo?' Saplar thought. "Look I say sorry. What else do you want me to do? You want an apology too?" John sarcastically asked. Saplar grabbed John's arm as if it was her way of telling him to take this seriously. John however just patted her on the head as if he was saying not to worry and told Holden "If that's all can we go? We both have a test in ten minutes." Saplar barely managed to stop herself from making a noise of frustration. "WHY YOU...!" Holden growled. Arlo had a small smirk on his face which Saplar quickly caught. "Is this really necessary?" Arlo asked. "Uhh.." Holden said in confusion. 'Huh?' Saplar thought with confusion. "Calm down. You're making a big fuss over nothing. Just let him go already." Arlo said as he shoved Holden off John. 'The actual fuck is going on here? We've never interacted with this guy once and he's nice? Something's up.' Saplar thought. "B-but Arlo he--." Holden started but Arlo cut him off. "Hey, you said the two of you have a test soon right?" Arlo asked. Saplar's look of confusion grew more and more. "Good luck then," Arlo said with a small smile. John gave a smile of his own as he said "Thanks." Saplar who was still visibly confused said "Thanks?" John happily walked forward as he dragged Saplar with him who gave Arlo one more confused look before turning around. As they both rounded the corner Saplar turned towards John and asked: "What just happened?" "I think we just met another high-tier that isn't a jerk. Why what's wrong?" John asked. Saplar's mind flashed back to what Seraphina told her.

Seraphina: Not exactly. Do you know Arlo?

Saplar: He's the King of Wellston right?

Seraphina: Yeah he tried to choke the opposing Queen even when her team called her out.

"I don't trust him," Saplar said as they entered the classroom.

Back with Arlo and Holden, the latter asked Arlo a question. "H-hey Arlo. Weren't those two the ones you were looking for? Why didn't you take them down? If you want I can go after them and bring them back here." Holden said. "Did you notice anything off about them?" Arlo asked. "Yeah, that guy's hair was greasy as fu--!" Holden stopped as he noticed Arlo's serious look. "Ah... I'm sorry I don't really know what... Um.." Holden trailed off. "If you had no ability and you just bumped into the King how would you react?" Arlo asked. "Er. Well if I were a weakling I think I'd be careful not to bump into anyone because I'd be scared of getting beat up." Holden said. 'That's what I thought. But not only did he walk straight into me, but he also ignored his friend's "concern", and when he turned to apologize I didn't see the slightest hint of fear in his eyes. As for his friend, I'll admit she's a good actress but her stutters sounded a bit too forced. What an interesting duo.' Arlo thought with a smirk.

As the day ended Saplar waved goodbye to John and made her way towards the girl's dormitory. As she was approaching her dorm she bumped into someone. "A-ack! Sorry!" Saplar said. "Oh, its fine Saplar you didn't hurt me or anything." a familiar voice said. Saplar looked to see Evie. "Oh hey, Evie. Where are you going?" Saplar asked. "Um. We're going to train today; remember?" Evie asked. Saplar's eyes widened in realization. "Oh, you're right! I almost forgot!" Saplar exclaimed. "Also how's Rowlan?" Saplar asked. "Oh. He's doing a bit better he should be able to come back to school this Friday!" Evie exclaimed happily. "That's good. Now-a let's-a g-GO!" Saplar said in a silly voice. Evie gave a small giggle as she followed Saplar to the park.

At the park, Evie was trying to master holding the orb of light for more than 7 seconds while Saplar sat on a nearby bench offering words of encouragement. "Okay, 10 seconds isn't bad! Maybe we should try something else?" Saplar asked. "Like what?" Evie curiously asked. "Well, your ability can be used to blind/stun people right?" Saplar asked. Evie nodded in confirmation. "Well, how about you summon an orb and throw it down to make a makeshift flash bomb?" Saplar suggested. Evie gave a nod and held her arms above her head as she gathered white light into them. Another orb formed in her hands and Evie quickly threw it down before it dispersed. The ball caused a mini-explosion and some dirt kicked up in the air and so did a flash of light. Luckily Saplar and Evie both covered their eyes. "Jeez! I didn't expect it to be so strong! Saplar are you alright?" Evie asked. "Yeah. I'm fine don't worry." Saplar responded. "Well, at least I have the flash bomb down pat!" Evie happily exclaimed. "Sure do Evie! Now, do you need both hands to make an orb?" Saplar asked. "Actually yeah I do. Trust me when I say I've tried to do it with one hand but I can barely get it to curve." Evie said dejectedly. "Well, the best thing I can think of is that you use that flash bomb of yours first then charge up some orbs," Saplar said. "Do you have any other ideas?" Evie asked. "Yeah like arrows or something and maybe a small shield for defense," Saplar said with a thoughtful expression. Evie mentioned that she'll try the arrow first since the process was similar to the orb. Evie did the same process she did for the orb except she imaged a sharp arrow this time. After what felt like an eternity she did it! CRASH! The arrow immediately launched out of her hands and crashed into a nearby tree. Both girls looked at each other with surprise as Evie sheepishly asked "Heh. Heh. Guess I should do a better job at controlling it huh?" Saplar gave a quick and worried nod. "Hey, Saplar. You don't have to stay here you know." Evie said. Saplar blinked a bit before asking "Are you sure Evie?" "Yeah. Besides, I'll keep you posted!" Evie said with a smile. "Alright if you say so," Saplar said before leaving.

With John, after he finished taking a shower and changing into more comfortable clothes he was taking a sip of water when his phone rang. He picked it up surprised that the caller ID read "Dad." "Dad?" John said in pure confusion. "Hey, John! Everything going alright over there?" John's dad asked. "Yeah. Same as usual. Why? Did something happen?" John asked. "Well, I'm sure you've already heard... There's an elite gang called EMBER causing trouble in your area! Make sure you keep your eyes open and stay safe alright?!" John's dad exclaimed. 'You don't need to yell. I'm right here.' John thought. "I know Dad. You don't need to tell me--." John's dad cut him off. "John I mean it. Don't do anything stupid," he warned. "Oh and--AH CRAP! My editor is calling me!" he yelled. "Anyway take care of yourself okay son?" he asked. "Yeah, you too make sure eat," John responded. "Ah right! Okay, talk to you soon!" John's dad exclaimed. "Bye Dad," John said as he ended the phone call.

With Seraphina at Wellston's dormitory opened "UnOrdinary" to see the first page titled "Dedicated to my son." She was a little confused but continued on anyway. After a few hours, she promptly closed the book as she tossed it on the bed. 'I need some fresh air.' Seraphina thought. She exited her room and entered her hallway to put on her shoes only to encounter her roommate. She had cyan hair tied in a braid, pale skin with a faint blush, green eyes, a pink dress, and white dress shoes. This girl is known as Elaine. "Hey, Seraphina! My parents some oranges from home! They make for great orange juice! Would you like to try some?" Elaine asked. "Sure I'll try some later," Seraphina stated. "Okay! I'll make some right away! Elaine said. Seraphina exited the dorms as she began to think about what she just read. 'A story about one man who defends a world of cripples? How strange. Where did this premise even come from? It's possible that John's father wrote this book in order to introduce the idea of a more just society. One with a lot less violence and a lot less danger so that John can stand as everyone's equal. Somehow many people seem to actually agree with this idea and they've taken matters into their own hands declaring themselves Superheroes and helping others. Just like how the protagonist of "UnOrdinary" protected cripples. It's no wonder the authorities banned this book because it challenges the entire structure of our society. The fact that some high-tiers acted on it must've been pretty frightening for them.' Seraphina thought. She then gave a sigh.

Despite everything, there is one glaring similarity between the "UnOrdinary" world and ours.

Only the powerful are able to influence the outcome of something.

They decide whether to use their abilities for others

or keep it for themselves.

Back inside of the dorms, Elaine entered Seraphina's dorm with a glass of orange juice. She set it on her desk and wrote a note with a silly self-portrait next to it. She cheerfully clapped her hands together and began to walk out when she noticed something on Seraphina's bed. ''UnOrdinary"'

Seraphina entered her room only to be surprised when she saw the glass of orange juice and a note. She turned to her bed to see "UnOrdinary" on the bed. Seraphina gained a worried look and all she could think was 'Shit!'

In Elaine's room, she was on the computer looking up the book in Seraphina's room. She found a short blurb on Wikapedia

"UnOrdinary" is a novel written by author W.H. Doe. It was banned a few months after publication because it was said to have caused an influx of vigilantes. The content of this novel is unclear but is rumored to contain ideals that clash with the workings of the current hierarchical structure.

Other: "Superheros" or "Super-vigilante" are high-tier vigilantes- those with an ability level 5.0 or higher.

Recent News: Several Superheros have been murdered in the last month.

MURDERED

Elaine shut her laptop with a slam as she began to panic. 'What should I do? What if Seraphina becomes a vigilante?' Elaine thought. She quickly shook those thoughts out of her head as she glanced at her phone and then picked it up to call a certain someone.

Arlo who was hanging out with Holden stopped as he made Holden do the same. He pulled his phone and answered. "Yeah," Arlo said. "Hi, Arlo! U-um I think Seraphina is in trouble!" Elaine exclaimed form the other side of the phone. "I found this book called "UnOrdinary" in her room," Elaine said. Arlo gained a shocked expression but it slowly turned into a smile. "I-I don't know if you've ever heard of it but I did some research and it looks like bad news!"Elaine exclaimed. "I really don't know what to do! And I'm worried for her-!" Arlo cut her off. "Elaine calm down." Arlo calmly said. "All you need to do is stay put for now. Does anyone else know?" Arlo asked. "U-um n-no." she stuttered. "Alright keep it that way," Arlo said. "O-okay." Elaine stuttered as the phone call ended.

The next day John sat next to Seraphina who was on the right of Saplar on the roof. John looked like he fell into the deepest pits of despair. "What's wrong big bro?" Saplar asked. "I just found out report cards come out this Friday. Man even the thought of it makes me anxious." John said dejectedly. "Come on it won't be that bad John! I helped you remember?" Saplar asked. 'That's why I'm despairing.' John thought. "Besides there's nothing you can really do about it now so there's no point in freaking out," Seraphina said. "Easy for you to say! They're not your grades!" John exclaimed before giving a sigh. "Hey, John I don't think I can give it back to you," Seraphina said without looking up from her phone. Both John and Saplar looked at each other before asking in unison "Elaine found it didn't she?" Seraphina's focus was thrown off as she lost her game and said "Well." "AW COME ON SERA! You're always so careless! I even warned you and everything! You might have godly abilities but you can't rewind all your mistakes!" John reprimanded. "OKAY I GET IT I MESSED UP!" Seraphina exclaimed. John sighed as he asked, "So what do you plan on doing now?" "I'm going to keep the book and make sure they don't trace it back to you," Seraphina said. "Serry that's cool and all but what about you?" Saplar asked. Seraphina gave Saplar a pat on the head "Don't worry. They'll be lenient with me. After all, I'm Wellston's Ace." Seraphina said with a reassuring smile. 'First John now Sera. What next I get one from Arlo? I HOPE IT NEVER COMES TO THAT!' Saplar thought. "So Sera what did you think of the book?" John asked. "Honestly I thought it was a bit absurd," Seraphina responded. "That's it I'm going back to class!" John exclaimed as he got up. Seraphina quickly pulled him back down as she said "BUT! I figured I wasn't getting the full picture so maybe you can help me clear some things up." "Well...." John started as he explained the book's message to Seraphina.

On Friday Blyke was in the library studying for the upcoming exam. Remi who held a stack of books in her arms promptly dropped them on the table. "I don't get why teachers always like to give tests out at the end of the quarter. Now I have a million exams to make up!" Remi exclaimed. "Remi! When did you get back?" Blyke asked. "Late last night," Remi said as she took a seat. "Alright, Blyke fill me in. What did I miss last week?" Remi asked. "Nothing much believe it or not. We won Turf Wars against Agwin on Sunday. Seraphina substituted for you as Queen." Blyke responded. "Wait also! This is a secret only Royals can know about..." Blyke whispered. He leaned in towards Remi and whispered: "Seraphina kicked Arlo's ass at Turf Wars!" "Well duh! I already know that! Everyone was whispering about it this morning." Remi whispered back. "WHAT?! HOW DID THEY FIND OUT?!" Blyke exclaimed. "Sheesh it's about time does two fought it out! They've always had beef with each other! Anyway, whatever. What they do is none of my business!" Remi said. "What? But you're Queen. It's kind of your responsibility to break them up." Blyke responded. "Oh come on! We both know that the only reason I have that title is because Seraphina doesn't want it. She and Arlo are on a completely different level from us! I'm not getting myself involved in their problems anymore." Remi retorted. "Wait a minute! What?!" Blyke asked in confusion. "Look if I got caught in their crossfire what will happen to me? I might get kil--! Ah, I don't know." Remi finished dejectedly. "So why did you go home? You left so suddenly. Is everything alright?" Blyke asked. Remi was taken back. "Remi?" Blyke asked. "I... I went home to attend a funeral because my brother was murdered." Remi said.

In class, John was squeezing his pencil tightly as his mind flashed back to his childhood bullies with a younger version of him on the ground. "Just a bunch of low lives," he growled with grit teeth. "John are you okay?" a feminine voice asked. "Here let me help you." the girl said. The girl in his memory has green braided hair and a purple shirt. As the girl slowly faded out of John's memory his pencil snapped in half. "JOHN! Quickly! Before I start reading your grades out loud!" the teacher exclaimed. "Ah right!" John exclaimed. He took his report card from the teacher as he reviewed it. 'Eh. It could be a lot worse. At least that history test brought my grade up to a C+.' John thought.

Arlo was walking through the halls focusing on what Elaine told him. 'Seraphina always gets what she wants. So its no surprise she managed to find a copy of that book. But I wonder if "UnOrdinary" is the reason why she would rather associate herself with two cripples instead of hanging around other high-tier. Could she be acting impulsive because of the book's influence?' Arlo thought. "OOF!!" John exclaimed as he bumped into Arlo. His papers fell onto the floor in a mess. 'Of course, I bumped into this guy.' Arlo thought. "Oh it's you again," Arlo said. John was rubbing his head in pain as he thought 'Is this guy's jaw made out of steel or something?' 'Ugh! Dropped my papers in front of everyone! How EMBARRASSING!" John thought. "Hey, have you ever heard of a binder?" Arlo asked. "Uh yeah. Sorry... I just got my grades back and was reading the teacher's comments." John stated. Arlo took a glance at John's report card and noted they were the most mediocre grades you could receive. Arlo kneeled down to help John pick up his papers and everyone began whispering.

"What's happening?" a female student asked.
"Arlo just kneeled in front of the cripple." a male responded.

"Don't you all have better things to do?" Arlo asked. Everyone jumped from fright as they quickly tried to clear the hallways. "Here," Arlo said as he handed John his paper. "Ah, thanks," John said in response. "Don't mention it. Next time watch where you're walking." Arlo said as he walked away and gained a small smirk on his face.

UnOrdinary Chapter 2 End
