Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Duel?
"What are those?" Michael asked as he raced behind Ben Fury. "We have no idea, it's the first time everybody's seeing them. I think the mutation in their system had gotten out of hand." Ben theorized as he led the students to safety. Even without the system momentarily going frenzy, Michael could tell that those creatures were dangerous. Charles had mentioned something about supersoldiers, but this beyond anything he had expected. And if Ben said this was his first time seeing such monstrosity, then this was probably different from the supersoldiers Charles spoke about. "What about the event, is it going to continue?" Henry asked in a pained tone. The wounds he had sustained from his fight with Damian were yet to heal, and the more he moved, the more difficult it was to keep himself from bleeding out. "It's canceled for now, new information would be communicated to you people by the guild leaders." Ben answered before giving the boy a good stare. He was currently the most outstand
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Family Issues
While the other students found their way back to the dorms, Damian took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the crowd. He wanted to meet and talk to a member of his family, just one. He knew they'd never visit him, not while he was in shadow vanguard and not Myriad. He had put up a decent performance at least, and was hoping to get congratulated by his family. However, the sudden chaos had completely ruined his plan, and now instead of seeking safety, he was seeking validation that he might never get. Finally spotting the silhouette of his eldest brother, Damian rushed forward, pushing through the opposing crowd as much as he could. Finally, he reached his target, and with his last strength managed to grab onto his jacket. "A.. Aaron.." He breathed before pulling himself out of the crowd. "Damian? You should be with your classmates, what are you doing out here?" Aaron returned with a serious look on his face. He offered help to his little brother, but the boy had rejected his offe
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard More Monsters!
Mark studied the creature before him painstakingly. Although its structure looked like a human's, it was impossible to consider the new being before him a human being. "What exactly did you say happened to him?" Mark asked for the umpteenpth time, his curiosity piqued, and his fingers tingling with anticipation. It was unlike anything he had seen before, and solving mysteries was one of the things he did the best. "We have no idea. One second he was a regular guy, and in the next second, he was screaming in agony, and his skin and everything about him immediately began to change. We suspect that the mutation levels of his cell might have exceeded what his body could handle." Charles explained. "If it had just been one victim, I would have concluded on the assumption of over-mutated cells, but it wasn't one victim. There had been four of them, and they were volatile in nature. I believe someone had a hand in it, perhaps a villain?" "It's unlikely to be a villain." Mark answered as t
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard For The Greater Good
Ben Fury remained at Shadow Vanguard's headquarters. He had received the information that more monsters, or rather Deviants as they were being called now, had broken out in the city. A ranked heroes were supposed to be at the frontline, but he couldn't move yet, not until he was certain that everything and everyone was alright here. There was yet to be a discovery on what caused these sudden changes, so there was no guarantee that one of the students wouldn't suddenly turn and attack others. "Perhaps you should take a break, master Ben. The third years can handle the patrols." One of the teachers, Ruth Ruby suggested. She used to be Ben's teacher, one that he wasn't exactly glad to see. Ruth had once tried to force a sexual relationship onto a younger Ben Fury, and while Ben kept it a secret to save the lady's reputation, he hadn't forgiven her for it. "I think I can manage on my own. Besides, no student is allowed outside the dorm." Ben replied in a formal, yet cold tone. He was do
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard An Old Enemy
Ben returned to the headquarters and found it in the exact condition as he had left it. Aside from Ruth, everybody else seemed to be normal, and everything seemed fine for the time being. Dusk was fast approaching, and it was time to serve the students their dinner. Because of the extra mouths around, it had taken a bit longer to prepare the adequate amount of food for everybody currently present in the headquarters. "I'll take care of the first year's, please focus on the second and third year' students." Ben offered, and the workers gladly agreed. The numbers were higher than what they were used to, so having an extra hand meant a lot to them. Without wasting any more seconds, Ben got straight to work. While he served the youngsters, his mind remained troubled with thoughts. He was yet to hear from Charles since they parted ways, and while he believed in his master's capabilities, he wasn't sure of the condition the man was in at the moment. Was he still a human? Or has he become
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard An Old Enemy II
[Ability Magnet Failed! Enemy's resistance is too strong!] The system alerted the moment Michael tried to catch his enemy off guard with the ability. Thrown off balance by the notification, Michael's confidence faltered, and for a brief second he lost track of the man in front of him. Exploiting his opponent's moment of disorientation, the enemy rushed in to get a hold of Michael, but was promptly intercepted by an even faster Ben who immediately grabbed Michael and teleported a considerable distance away from the man. Ben took a second to get a good stare at Michael's face before returning his focus on the enemy. He had never seen anybody as angry as Michael Black at the moment, and he could understand the boy's feelings. According to the reports and vague description they had gotten from Michael, Ben was able to piece together various pieces of information and confirmed that this was the man who had attacked Michael Black and Daniel Hardwood a few weeks back. It was no wonder the
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard First Kill
Ben was the first to realize the sudden jump in the opponent's energy level, and such increase had prompted him to re-strategize almost immediately. He couldn't let the villain before him get back to where the students were, not anymore. And at the same time, having Michael around would really weigh him down. The energy output of the man in front of them at the moment rivaled his while in peak form, and with the injury he had, it would be difficult to perform at full strength while also protecting Michael Black."Quickly, race for the exit—" Ben had barely finished when he felt a presence behind him. Instinctively, he crossed his arms to immediately block a powerful kick, before effectively teleporting out of a descending blade's range. "He's gotten stronger, I can barely keep up." Ben lamented as he inspected his arms for fractures. Luckily, he hadn't sustained any, which meant he could still engage in close combat with his hands. "He injected himself with something, it must have m
Hero Awakening: Shadow Vanguard Skill Unlocked!
"Are you alright?" Ben asked as he pulled his bleeding body towards the still standing Michael. "You're losing a lot of blood!" Michael exclaimed as he snapped out of his trance. He rushed to Ben's side and examined the wound, and like expected it was bad. Things would likely get worse before help could arrive, and too much movement would worsen the situation. "It's okay, leave me here and call for help. I won't die." Ben promised with a bright smile, one that Michael found odd, yet relieving. He didn't want to leave Ben's side, not even for a second. If he hadn't been too weak, none of this would have happened. [Would Host Like To Unlock A Skill?] The system asked after reading its host's desperation.

What doesn't he have?
[Beast defeated! +50xp][Beast defeated! +50xp][Beast defeated! +50xp]Just before Michael landed the last blow on his last opponent, he took a few seconds to examine how well Frank was doing. He wasn't exactly struggling, but he wasn't having a field day either. He had already managed to put down two wolves out of the five, but the remaining three were making him work a little bit harder. Letting out a sigh of exhaustion, Micheal balled his hand into a fist and pummeled the last of his adversary into the ground.

Using his superior speed, he managed to ambush and restrain one of the wolves, giving Frank enough time to focus on the remaining two. Michael d

Internship..
Due to the chaos that had been brought by the deviants and hostile activities of the general public, General Allen had issued for all admitted students in any hero institution of all kinds to begin internship. The demand for heroes had become high, in and out of Geo. People were awakening in large numbers daily, and most of the newly awakened individuals had taken to the streets to show off their newly gained abilities. The pro heroes were already distracted with fixing the damages and investigating issues concerning deviants and supersoldiers, there was no time to waste on mediocre villains these days. "You're going to your family's agency, I suppose. It's a shame you won't be joining us." Cedric said to Damian who was busy with getting his things in order. Thanks to Michael, Charles McRae had agreed to take three students under his care, and those students were Michael, Cedric and Frank. Michael and Cedric weren't exactly onboard with the inclusion of a bully in their team, but at

Suspicions and Visitations
From time to time Cedric would glance over at Michael's desk. Ever since the night of the inter guild contests, he couldn't help but feel that something was up with his friend somehow. At first he brushed it off as disappointment for not finishing the event, but now he was certain it was something else. Subsequently, Michael always seemed to excuse himself, and Cedric always watched him climb to the rooftops. He would spend five to ten minutes there regularly, and Cedric had begun to think that Michael could be secretly seeing a lover. That had been his first suspicion, but that hadn't been the case. There were no love letters, no chocolates, and even lately he had crossed his boundaries and had gone through Michael's messages. He didn't text a lot of people, and he didn't find anyone who could possibly be Michael's love interest. "Focus, Cedric!" The teacher instructed firmly. At the moment they were being taught how to perform simple rescue operations, and everybody absolutely loa

Partners?
The activities in the shadow vanguard headquarters were yet to pick up pace since the deviant incident, and the events had been canceled until the heroes decoded otherwise. Charles visited a lot more often these days, and he never left without having a word with Michael Black. However, today was different, he was taking the boy out of the headquarters, and it was for good reason. Just recently, while some heroes were out investigating the deviants and supersoldiers, they had come across an interesting piece, a human hand, torched and almost burnt to a crisp. The hand had been taken to Mark who had run a series of tests on it, and after two days of intensive tests and examination, Mark had finally come to a conclusion that the arm belonged to Daniel Hardwood. "Y..you're joking right?!" Michael trembled after he had received the news. He never really believed that his friend died on the day they'd been attacked. Now that he knew a little bit more about what was going on in his life, h

Work
Logan led his partner through a dark alleyway. The chaos that the deviant's had caused had left the city in a cold state for a week now, and although no more deviants had been sighted for a week, things weren't exactly as they used to be. The public had begun an open rebellion against the awakened individuals, and were rioting for them to leave the country. No one knew how, but an article had leaked out to the public giving detailed information on the deviants and how they functioned. It exposed the secret that only awakened people could become deviants, and ever since then, the public and the government had taken advantage of the information to create hostility in the entire country. "What exactly did you say these people are?" Hugo questioned for the umpteenpth time as he followed Logan into an old abandoned house. He wouldn't partner up with Logan for an assassination work on a normal day, but thanks to the commotion caused by the deviants, schools had been on lockdown, and incom

I'm On Your Side
"Principal Hugo? What are you doing here, and what did you do to my friends?" Michael asked with a shocked, yet equally afraid expression on his face. "I just knocked them out, they'll be fine. Secondly, I came to pay my best student a visit, is that a bad thing?" The older man answered with a smile, one that Michael didn't find soothing at all. He had a lot a things going through his mind at the moment, but the question that bugged him the most was—"How did you get in here?" Principal Hugo read the boy's mind. He expected the question, but Michael was not ready for his principal's reply. With a hand stretched out in the air, Hugo tore a hole through space, and at the same time, another hole appeared behind the stunned boy. From the portal he had just created, Hugo walked through, and appeared right behind the unsuspecting boy. "How—? You're awakened?!" Michael stammered with visible shock. "Yes I am, Michael Black." Hugo answered as he steadily studied the boy's appearance. His p

An Unexpected Visitor
Although the syringe and vial Ben had provided weren't from his lab, Mark couldn't help but feel that all of this was connected somehow. But the more he thought about it, the less he understood. It felt as though a portion of his memory was missing, and no matter how hard he tried to remember, he just couldn't quench the restlessness in his mind. "I've examined the liquid, definitely a power boosting serum, and it's likely the cause of the transformation." Mark revealed to the heroes gathered in his laboratory. "Is there any way you can turn them back? Any possible cure?" Charles inquired, eager and anxious. With a disappointed look on his face, Mark shook his head to answer. "Unfortunately not, but I can try. It will take some time, but it's not impossible. If we could find the root of all this, and get my hands on the serum's formula, it would be a lot easier for me to create a cure." "Do you have any suspicions of who it might be?" Hector asked abstractly while hoping for a pos

Dark Alliance
Despite the unending chaos in the streets of Geo, a man clothed in a long overcoat walked on the sidewalk of a half empty street. His pitch black hair was perfectly cut, and his Harry potter glasses gave him the appearance of a nerd. In his left hand was a brown paper bag containing groceries as indicated by the asparagus tips poking over the top. His strides were long and steady to match his well built frame. When he paused to avoid a mud puddle by the side of the road, the street lamp shed some light on his face, revealing strong facial features. There was a faraway look on his face as he crossed the road. He had been feeling strange all day, as if something was coming for him. What annoyed him most was the fact that he had no idea exactly what that thing was. But he had a feeling he would not like it.He wasn't the type who wandered around during the night, but some circumstances had warranted him to carry out his shopping after dusk. He had gone to the Guild Contest, and since the
