Demonstration

None can mistake the way the Security Squad of Malcolm's is strutting around on monday. They are moving like they own the school and rumors are flying about the reasons why. Many feel that today is the day they will reclaim their place as rulers of the Combat Classes. This is talked about enough that Carter, under pressure from a couple families in the school itself, is going to have a practical demonstration.

Dante hearing this while in his advanced math class just shakes his head laughing some as that was the only thing he understood, as they were going over a new subject today. Amy sighs some as he gets it wrong and looks to him before leaning close whispering in his ear. "I will talk like this until you get it right." Dante spends the rest of the class red and with a headache as he struggles.

The afternoon comes around and as people are heading off Dante blinks as nearly everyone is walking towards the arena. After he asks one of those nearby he learns there will be a public demonstration today between students. He thinks and nods his head as he taps his watch asking and laughing as he keeps getting confirmations from the rest not in the combat class with a few saying they are waiting.

Malcolm is walking back and forth before his group who all stand like little soldiers as people are filling the stands and when Dante comes in Carter motions him over. "Sorry Dante but I was pushed into this and the Security Squad wish to face your squad." As Dante looks to him he nods "They are trying to save face so you can decide if you will play along."

Dante gets a grin as he jogs out into the middle of the arena and after clearing his throat he taps his watch to link to the speakers. "Hello everyone and welcome to today's demonstration." as people cheer out he bows and smiles "Today Malcolm's group has challenged us for our positions in the advanced class and the losers will all be demoted to the standard class."

Malcolm jerks as he whips around glaring to Dante as Carter laughs some seeing the game he is playing, but this can hurt him just the same. Thinking he syncs his watch up as well and speaks out, since as a teacher he can take it from Dante. "These transfers will be done before tomorrow's class so those who are at the top of the standard will hold practice fights afterwards and those that lose here will not be eligible for those fights."

Dante jogs over to his group at this point and sighs as he looks to them. "I am sorry to put extra weight on all of us but this will likely make several of his back down plus scare them away from doing this often." he looks over as they all are now talking and arguing "However as we are active in our training I feel all of us can win and if they try to send a ringer out, I will head in myself."

Onya looks to them for several moments before looking to Dante. "I think they upgraded their suits and think we can't hurt them now." as they look to her she motions "They have been posturing all day and I heard from a little birdy they all got better suits then the store provides."

Several of them all smile and nod thinking about it before Dante gets a wolfish smile. "Remind me to spoil you all later with another cookout." as they cheer out everyone notices "If by some miracle they knock one of us down, you are in my group no matter the class."

Dante jogs out after Carter calls for the team leaders to step forward. "Alright so how many are willing to fight?" Dante says everyone as the stands gasp and Malcolm growls and says four "Okay pick your fighters and send them in. The victor gets the right to decide who sends out their fighter first. The matches are until one side surrenders or is unable to continue!"

Malcolm walks back then grins as he motions and all of his group equip their new suits. Many gasp shocked as those were better than those normal students couldn't get or afford. He puffs up his chest and glares over at Dante as he waves a hand. "Come on show us what you all got too why don't you?"

Dante laughs as he steps forward and nods as all of them are walking forward. Each one shifts starting with Dante then falling down the line as each one is a different unique suit. Many are shocked to see none of them are in the standard school ones either. Beyond that each one has at least a single hip compartment unit while a few have more than just one! Everyone is shocked by Malcolm's reveal but the roar after Dante's reveal is thunderous as everyone knows his group isn't funded. They must have earned it somehow plus all of them have many friends in the stands.

Dante looks over as his wolfish smile fits his canine face far too well. "We send out Ben first. Don't keep us waiting we have better things to do." Ben steps forward as the rest fall back and those in the stands fight to not laugh as many grumble about not getting to go first "We are not funded by someone's wallet but our own hard work and blood. You wanted to test us, let us see how many of you can pass. Also losers send out first." Dante winks at Malcolm.

Ben looks over and waves to Carter. "Sir if we have gear beyond the suits can we use it?" as Carter thinks his watch beeps and after looking to it he shakes his head "Okay just was asking so if they try something funny they only have themselves to blame."

Phil steps forward and glares at him as he rolls his shoulders. "Stop acting big Ben we all know you are just a big target." as several laugh and call out Ben just stretches before he smiles "Okay time to learn your place!"

Ben steps in and following the lessons he has been getting plus the actual battle experience he gained as well, he feels calmer inside. He slams his shoulder off of his chest stepping close to knock him off balance. As he falls back Ben grabs his face and groin in his hands before he spins lifting him as he tosses up. Grabbing his ankles Phil screams out as suddenly Ben throws his body down and takes a knee as Phil connects with the arena face first in one of the worst belly smackers in history.

Carter calls the match as Ben gets up and walks to the side to the cheers and shouting of the stands. He fist bumps Dante before being shoved around and laughing with the rest of the group. "First match to Team B. Team A send out your pick for the second match."

Malcolm glares then looks to Tabitha motioning and as she goes to argue he nearly strikes her. "You think they could do something like that to a female? Now get out there and kick their ass so hard Dante limps from it!"

Dante looks over and smiles to everyone as she steps out there. "So who wants this fight?" after a few speak up they talk about it and narrow it down as Jasmine steps out "They likely are trying to play to the crowd to limit what we can do so show them what we can do."

Jasmine is designed like a falcon with even some wing details on her arms but they fold up easily and don't hinder her movement. However after working on it she can glide from a high place a little or at least slow a fall. Looking to the one across from her she waves a hand as she clicks her beak. "To bad for you, this bird is hungry for food."

Tabitha sneers at her and when the match starts she rushes her. Sending in a volley of swings she can feel many hit and while some seem to give easy she can tell others hit with a solid thud. Jasmine didn't expect her to actually be too hard and is regretting it but she can take this, she won't let Dante down. She spins and uses the wings to create a momentary distraction as the other one pulls back unsure what is happening and she sweeps her legs. Tabitha yells out as she falls backwards and as she goes to get up sharp talons grasp around her neck. A few moments later she glares and calls out. "I yield."

Walking back Jasmine is holding her side but everyone sees Dante moves his hand near his hip and hands her a vial. Most shout in shock as much as cheering as he gave her a healing potion! Many are curious how those taste as very few have ever taken one before but this shows just what sort of group he leads.

Malcolm is now glaring as Dante is flaunting the differences and it was likely his only one. The reaction from the others was so loud you would think it was a golden vial not a red one. "Stupid idiots are too poor to know real wealth." a few of his group look to each other as they are being funded and still don't have those "Okay your up Hank."

Hank heads out and sighs as Tabitha was their only female and with her submission it is open season on him and the next one. Dante goes to ask before his watch beeps and after a moment he growls out heading forward. They looked to each other confused as Dante stalks into the arena. Seeing him Hank is shaking and takes a step back as Dante growls out.

Carter is looking at this and with the design of his suit Dante truly is the beast represented. Plus the sound he is making is defeating his opponent before the fight has started. Hank is shaking and looks over as Malcolm motions for him to start as he looks back to Dante and rushes in shouting as he goes.

The arena is silent after the last few seconds as Hank's destroyed body finally lands. Dante had taken the hit and thrown him up before he kicked fast enough one side after the other so the body didn't fly off, plus the sounds it made. None think they will forget the sounds of his body or the death wail he let out. In the silence everyone hears a voice. "They didn't punish you when she spoke out however I will. You attacked Xin, framed me, but will live and know my mercy."
