What The Luck!?

Asher felt that the pressure was pushing him to become better at the moment. They may have been used as bait to train everyone and locked in a room prior, but now they had been put in a corner. They needed to get out of the school and he was just the person to guide his group through. 

The idea coming to mind were flowing freely and he felt that the pressure was refining his way of thinking. Not only that but he was able to see possibilities that he had not been able to see before. The super powers he had seen his friends' use had been sitting useless in his mind for weeks now. Yet, at this moment there were puzzle pieces all coming together. 

The matches at the school evaluation had been the final step for him to truly understand some of the things his friends could do. On top of that, there was also the fact that he had been solely focusing on the fact that his group needed teamwork most of all. In the shoes of a leader, he had no choice but to spur that teamwork now. 

" Cara, you will throw your voice and detract them. Art and Louis will take the two closest and beat them before they know it with ranged attacks. Louis, I know you can hit your target. Just focus and it will happen. Jane, that bigger kid in the middle is your target. I don't want him moving at all. Keep him still." Asher was rattling off orders but his friends were not at all offended. Instead, they were preparing for when he stopped and would direct them to attack. 

"Sammy and Louis. You two are coming with me to get the furthest two. Sammy will use some wind to push us forward faster. Jackson, you take down the two if you can in one hit. If not I will help. I need to focus on the kid Jane stops in place first." The plan was simple. They were staying together but had their own roles to play that could not be neglected. 

"When your target is down, help the nearest person. If anyone is caught or surprised shout for help. I don't want more people drawn here but we have to accept the risk that comes with this strategy." The groups' eyes sharpened as they showed that they had accepted this and were ready. 

"Then, we go now!" Asher didn't quite yell but instead added strong emphasis to his words. The group could feel his steel will and responded swiftly. They did not hesitate to make their moves. 

In an instant, a piece of the nearby metal rail separated and flew at the boy on the left. The boy on the right was consequently struck with a small arc of lightning. Art and Louis had expertyl done their part. The two boys in the back had turned around to hear someone calling them only to find a brick wall there with not a soul in sight. 

The only one that had seen Jane step out in to the open was the larger boy. But he found that as soon as his eyes met Jane he was stuck in place unable to move or even breathe. He desperately wanted to breathe in the guts of wind that Sammy pushed forward but was instead met with a solid leg sweep from Asher. 

Jackson had jumped over the larger boys' head and came down with two heavy hammer fists on the distracted boys who barely turned to see their attacker. Everyone saw the larger boy trying to stand but Asher spoke up with another plan, "Help me hold him down. He may have some important information for what could be outside." Asher was not so foolish to believe that this was all over as soon as they stepped foot outside. There had to be more coming. 

"Ugh, let me up. I need to catch you and call for the instructor." the boy had not given up yet. He insisted on struggling while Sammy made sure to tie their defeated opponent's shoe laces together and lean them against a nearby wall so that they didn't have to lay on the floor.

"You know that I can zap you like your friend any time right? I hear being shocked by a stun gun hurts. Just a little." Louis let a small amount of lighting arc between his fingers for dramatic effect. 

"Or you should know who I am, right? Your friends even heard my voice all the way from the stairs and I barely whispered." This was much scarier to the boy since the rumors of the deafening were all too popular. 

"Umm, ugh, I mean. I don't. Well…" The boy was mumbling useless things due to the worry he felt looking at Cara. 

"Wow, and here I thought Jackson would be the scary one." Laura had not had a role in the last battle because she would have been too fast to jump in to the way of the other. It was not the ideal situation for her and she had ended up staying back. But now she could watch everyones' back from the hallways leaving behind the passed out students in the stairwell.

"Well? What is outside? We won't let Louis zap you if…" Art was acting as the main interrogator and appeared to be about to give Louis a signal. If Louis knocked him out he would not be able to capture the group and get his free camp tickets. This was a chance he could not miss. 

The larger boy spoke up with what seemed t be more panic than a clear mind. "The last three are outside. They are the strongest and are walking through solo so they can capture every single one of you at the same time and form their own hero groups like you all did. They said that they would easily surpass you since you are so weak. I was going to get my own ticket and join them!" There was a tinge of anger in the boys' voice but also a bit of worry. The three strongest advanced students were nothing to laugh at. 

Louis still zapped the boy since this was all about safety. If they let him go they would be caught escaping much more easily. "Ugh, I am pretty sure I know who the three are." Cara was sure they were the only other student that could put up a real fight with her in the school. They were enough to take down the others easily but she would be their challenge. There was a certainty in her mind that they were really after a fight with her t assert some small amount of dominance than actually getting tickets.

'

"If they actually try and forge a group of their own they will still be behind us." There was complete confidence in his voice. Everyone in his group of friends within powerful in their own right. Even without a lot of team work experience, they were performing very well in the chaotic stuataion. Not a single person was doubting their group and it made sense to them that there were others out there that would try and copy their tactics and training. 

Alright, My guess is that we will encounter one or two of these stronger people. The way Cara spoke means they are going to beat us. Let's just hope that we are lucky and it's one or none." Asher was ready to a full on sprint to the gate of the school to escape and get their answers as to what was going on. 

They stayed close together as they left the door and found that their path appeared ti be empty. This meant that they could slowly leave the area and head toward the front gate. However, they forgot about the windows of the school. The other students wandering the classrooms found that they could see their targets outside. Knowing that they would not make it out they just called him out to the targets.

The windows were opened and a lot of shouting filled the air. The group hated it because it was definitely pulling the three tougher opponents rover to them. They would be sitting ducks in the open and easily beaten. Their slow movements ceased and instead they were in a full on spirit towards the now in sight front gates. 

There was a slight chill that seemed to blow through the air. Everyone looked at Sammy in hopes that they were feeling something to do with the super power speeding them up to get away faster. Sammy's face on the other hand, no, it was not me." 

"It's James. Stay on guard and keep running!" Cara knew who it was. She had seen James a few times and knew of his reputation as the terror. 

"James, the ghostly terror will not beat my group!" Cara suddenly yelled as a figure seemed to rise from the ground on its' own.
