[Fan-Fiction] SSMB Heroes Academy: Archives of the Academy (Re-imagining of the Role-Play Stories)

[Ryannumber1gamer]

Hello there! Welcome to a new project in the SSMB Heroes Academy line, based on the RP that is currently ongoing. Tying into @Failinhearts's and @MightyRay's retrospective Academy Chronicles fan-fictions, this collaboration project is a fan-fiction that is based on the first two and a half seasons from the original SSMB Heroes Academy RP. 

Wishing to make these stories more readable, easier to follow, and all the round more enjoyable, we as a group decided to undertake the project of reformatting all of the previous RP episodes into a similar style as @MightyRay's current project based on the universe - we'll be going by a completely new chapter based format that remakes the original stories featured in the RP. This time, with added details, more consistency, a better format that should tie better towards the SSMB guidelines in terms of story-telling and in the end, hopefully preserving the stories that SSMB members worked hard on and overall making them much more enjoyable reading experiences. 

Now, I say this is a collaborating effort, as opposed to just myself making the fan-fiction remake, and that is true. As a lot of the original story creators are still featured in SSMB Heroes, they will be assisting in the remaking of their stories. As well as that, if there is anyone who is still active on SSMB but left the RP, I shall also be asking them if they'd like a role in remaking their stories in the time they were here, when we eventually get to them.

As for the RP itself, it is still ongoing and if you'd like to join, feel free to ask @Failinhearts through PM. With that said, I'd like to go more in-depth with the format.

As I said, the main aim of the remake is to better preserve our works and hopefully also make them easier and more enjoyable for reading for other SSMB members. Due to several format changes, and on top of that, tons of broken images and other such things, quite a lot of our previous stories ended up broken or being a complete mess to read through, so the main aim is to overall better improve them, add more information and expand on details, fix up a lot of the plot inconsistencies between stories, and make it a much better reading experience for ourselves, and hopefully others. 

As for the story format, there will be two main types. 

Chapters: These are the main chunk of content that will be featured through this remake. The proper retelling of the episodes. Each episode depending on length will be split up into chapters and then when the chapters are done, they'll be posted here. The chapter will have a proper name, number and the person, (or if it was a collaborative story, people) who wrote it. For example Chapter 001: Placeholder: Writer: Placeholder.

That then leads into the second chunk of content:

Side Chapters: These are stories that will be inbetween the main episodes of the remake. In the original role-play, there was a smaller segment named Daily Life which allowed the characters to explore the main Hub area and partake in interactions and events, time to cool down between the actual stories. As points of development for characters did occur in these daily life segments, we don't want to completely cut them. That said, we'll be keeping what the writers feel is absolutely necessary. Not all of these daily life segments will be covered, and we hope to keep a consistent balance between the side chapters and the main chapters.

Prequel Info:

I do also want to say that @Failinhearts has a prequel based on SSMB Heroes Academy here which contains more details here. You shouldn't need to read the prequel to understand the general story here, but if you want more details, they're there. 

With that said, the next part to discuss is the bios. Because of the fact this was originally a role-play, that means there was a lot of characters written by different characters. So because of that, there will be a Bios section featuring the bios of every character in the RP. This will be updated when new characters appear in their retrospective opening chapter/side chapter, so if your character isn't in the bios, don't worry, they'll be added once their original introductory chapter is here.

As usual, feedback is appreciated. It might be a little rusty in early days, considering we're adapting one format to a completely new format and on top of that, adding details as we go along, but it should hopefully improve as things go along. That said, I welcome you to the remake of the first two and a half seasons of SSMB Heroes Academy!

Special Thanks to everyone who took part in SSMB Heroes Academy!

Season 1: United Destinies

Chapter 001: Recruitment Day Part 1 - Original Story Writer: @Failinhearts, Remake Story Writer: Ryannumber1gamer

Combat Styles (Originally - Battle Classes) (Descriptions):

While each hero has a variety of different skills and abilities that they can make use of, they typically specialize with a certain combat style. These styles have been documented below with general descriptions!

Spoiler

Brawler: Their specialty is melee combat, making them incredibly effective at close quarters. They know where to hit their punches to make it hurt most!

Sorcerer: Not specifically limited to magical ability - Sorcerers can make use of their natural abilities and special weapons to perform various actions and attacks. They have an unpredictability due to this, capability of mixing their abilities with other skills.

Smasher: Heavy Hitting Bruisers that make use of heavy hitting weapons, while they might have to carry around large weapons, this gives them extra power in their close-quarters combat. This specialty might be risky, but if it hits, it's devastating.  

Bowslinger/Quickshot: These fighters are armed with ranged weapons and know where to place their shots. There is mild differences between these two specialties -Bowslingers might not be the most damaging, but their long range and aiming skills make it difficult to avoid these guys. They might not always be up for close quarters combat, but they have ranged combat as a backup, while Quickshots use rapid fire weapons in order to make up for their lack of precision. Either way, in the right circumstances, they can shift the tides of battle.

Knight/Swashbuckler: The welders of the sword, those who have a specialty in sword combat typically carry this style. They're most efficient when they have a bladed weapon to work with. With knowledge of how to weld their weapons, they show a lot of skill and precision through it. The difference between a knight and a swashbuckler is the level of skill with their blade. A knight will typically make use of one blade but are capable of welding it with more power while a swashbuckler, while weaker - has more agility and grace, typically welding two swords due to this.

Sentinel: A specialty that requires a lot of skill, making use of long weapons such as staff, they can use it to switch between short-range and long-range combat. With enough skill and precision, it can be difficult to take these guys down, especially if they decide to use double bladed weapons.

Ninja: Masters of stealth - they are extremely agile and skilled, not carrying the strongest weapons but capable of knowing where to place well-aimed shots to make the most damage and misdirect their enemies. Their projectiles and stealth makes it difficult to know where and when they're coming. 

Bazooker: For those who love making devastating attacks at close or long distance - Bazookers weld large and typically explosive weapons for destruction at long or close range. That said, they also don't have the biggest amount of speed or agility, trading in insane speeds for insane power.

Heroes:

Sonic the Hedgehog (Sentinel): 

Original Series: Original series by @Failinhearts

First Appearance: Chapter 001: Recruitment Day Part 1

Season Appearances: Season 1

Elements: Magic, Air/Combat Style: Knight

Bio: 

Spoiler

Sonic is a hedgehog of an old race of creatures known as the Sentinels, although not much is known about the race, his family of surviving sentinels has a secret past they wish to keep hidden. Futhermore, while Sonic himself does have an unknown last name, he prefers his usual "Sonic the Hedgehog" title.

Even as a small child, Sonic always wanted to save worlds. He was the son of two acclaimed generals in the Sentinel army. His father's accomplishments so grand, he was given the mysterious Sentinel Sword, a weapon descended from the Golden Weapons that made the Fictional Realm themselves but to the Sentinels, a powerful blessing sent by the gods. During his childhood, Sonic fooled around the Sentinel Sword when his parents weren't looking, roleplaying as a powerful knight alongside his siblings (except for Blaze, who found it childish). This dream became a crushing reality though when Sonic's parents told him and his siblings to run. So they ran into a nearby cave and stumbled upon a magical rock that gave them the ability to never age and enhanced magical power. However, things changed for the worst as Sonic realizes all the Sentinels were gone thanks to Mephiles, a Sentinel with a sadistic obsession with murder.

Sonic found the Sentinel Sword, as it now fully responds to his resolve to avenge his race, making Sonic and Mephiles sworn enemies to this very day. In present times, Sonic is a celebrated hero and now thanks to his Sentinel Sword's relation to the Golden Weapons, was declared the first Golden One and founded the Disciples 7 years ago as a protector of Writers and enemy to the new generation of the Metarex, with Mephiles leading the charge.

With Sonic a General just like his father, he travels multiverses to protect those in need alongside a new Golden One under his tutelage, Sayaka Miki. 

Sonic is a born leader, always having a plan and commands his team with authority. He puts great responsibility onto himself and takes things hard when he fails to fulfill his duty, promises or downright loses an ally. However, he still has a mind of a 16 year old: Witty, has moments of recklessness and is not afraid to have a good time when there's no work to be done. As a Sentinel, though, there is a natural instinct to simply kill all who stands in your way. It's a side effect to all that power. Sonic, not wanting to go down the same self-destructive path as his race that gave birth to Mephiles taking it to the extreme, he prefers to capture and arrest the enemy rather than kill them. Although sometimes, it can't go any other way.

Sonic has one thing lingering on his mind: Where he comes from. He has done research on countless franchises, becoming an expert in them, but he has never seen any trace of himself in Reality. He believes he is an obscure branch of the Sonic franchise when in actuality, he is a fan creation.

His abilities include his and his sword's ability to harness the power of the elements, night vision thanks to his eyes' ability to glow a pure white, Spin Dashing and Homing Attacking and of course, his speed, although his usual running speed is slightly slower than the other Sonics he has met.

His power and authority causes many evildoers from many worlds to fear his name. You can try to run from him, but when the leader of the Disciples sets his eyes on you... turning yourself in and giving up is the better option.

 

Miles 'Tails' Prower (Sentinel):

Original Series: Original series by @Failinhearts

First Appearance: Chapter 001: Recruitment Day Part 1

Seasonal Appearances: Season 1

Elements: Tech, Air/Combat Style: Quickshot

Bio: 

Spoiler

Tails is the adopted brother of Sonic The Hedgehog. As a young boy, Tails had a remarkable affinity with magic, his power exceeding many Magic Sentinels he has met 150 million years ago. He also has a unique body structure, thanks to his two tails. When the Sentinels were wiped out by Mephiles, with only Tails and his siblings remaining, he stumbles upon what remains of the Tech Sentinel king, a magical gear that served as his brain. Upon contact with it, that same knowledge flowed into him... yet his body couldn't contain his magic and intelligence at once. Because of this, his magic was released, giving only a very minimal amount to use as protection or for offense. Thanks to this sacrifice, though, Tails has become extremely smart. He has created machines ages ahead of their time, including the DEUS, the Metal Sonic army and his ships, the Genesis, the Saturn and the Dreamcast.

Tails is very cynical. He's the type you'd bring to a movie and he'd nitpick the crap out of every minute detail. He's also a little trigger happy too, obsessed with weaponry and especially lasers. This does make him a great weapon specialist for the Disciples army however, so there's a silver lining to everything. It doesn't help that he doesn't often get to spring into action.

A combination of Sonic's over-protection and his lack of power means Tails usually sits out while the Disciples charge into intense battles, with him usually being the guy around the scenes when he does want to do more. With his time with the other Skylanders though, he can finally become a lot more involved.

Armed to the teeth with guns, lasers and his trusty Utility Wrench, Tails means business and he's gonna make sure evil knows this very well.

Sayaka Miki: 

Series: Magica Madoka 

First Appearance: Chapter 001: Recruitment Day Part 1

Seasonal Appearances: Season 1

Elements: Water, Magic/Combat Style: Swashbuckler 

Bio: 

Spoiler

Sayaka was once a simple girl who went to Mitakihara Middle School with a crush on a violin prodigy: Kyosuke Kamijo, who unfortunately suffered an accident and broke his arm, never being able to play violin ever again. Saddened by this, Sayaka was given the opportunity to make a contract with Kyubey to become a Magical Girl, unknowingly separating herself from her own soul in exchange for healing Kyosuke's arm. Everything seemed to be going fine for Sayaka until she realized not only did she basically sell her soul, but had a part of her that wanted Kyosuke to fall in love with her when he was healed. She hated herself for those factors, seeing herself as selfish and inhuman. In her desperation to be as unselfish as possible by fighting Witches for no reward (Not accepting Grief Seeds, which is crucial for her survival), she fell into despair, declaring herself as stupid and died, becoming the Mermaid Witch Oktavia Von Seckendorff.

In every timeline, Sayaka dies over and over again. Once the contract was sealed, Sayaka is destined to become Oktavia. However, once Madoka became a goddess and rewrote fate itself, Sayaka died but was sent to Madoka's heaven for Magical Girls instead, the Law of Cycles. She continued to be there for what should be forever...

...Until the Golden Weapons that made the Fictional Realm pulled her soul out of the Law of Cycles, restoring her human body and sent her to Station Square in the world of the Sentinels. There, she was abducted by Mephiles, Lockdown and his Knight Ship with the intention to execute her on the spot before she could become a Disciple.

Luckily for Sayaka, Sonic saved her and told her that she is chosen to become a leader for the Disciples just like him as the second Golden One. Sayaka accepts this chance to be a true hero, and is not only granted enhanced powers but even the ability to call upon Oktavia herself.

Due to being a Disciple for over 4 years now, Sayaka is greatly used to this new position and is happy for having second chance at life, and the ability to protect many worlds. She was the one who discovered The Hub, and met various friends along the way.

Sayaka is reckless and a little impulsive, but has a strong will to do what is right and uphold justice. She is highly skilled in the art of the sword, and even learned new tricks along the way. Sayaka is trying to put aside her old black-and-white view of people, but her idealistic nature remains. Sometimes she wonders if she's even good enough or worthy enough to be a Disciple due to not only her past but how the Real World perceives her, but no matter the circumstance, Sayaka will do whatever it takes to fight evil as a true ally of justice.

Buzz is an Imaginator of the famous Skylander teacher from the world of Skylands. Created by the High Council of the Golden Skylands to manage and train Golden Skylanders with his incredibly effective Academies. In addition, he was chosen to moderate the creation of other Imaginators who would be to become future Golden Skylands to protect the multiverses from imbalance and anomalies.

Once introduced to the Disciples and Metarex war, the pressure was on to make sure that every Golden Skylander of any class will be strong enough to face any threat and prevent as much destruction as possible. After all, Fiction and Reality are on the line. As such, Buzz's perfection complex kicked into overdrive. Anyone who seemed incompetent or unworthy by his lofty standards are immediately looked down upon, leading to "disagreements" between him and even Sayaka once first learning that a girl known for dying foolishly is supposed to be Reality's protector.

Worst of all, though, any Imaginator with a mere defect in their structure, whether lacking a power or two or having no memory of their canon life, they are deemed defectice and not suitable for battle. As such, they are relegated to being bearers of demaning jobs such as the people who clean up the damage after big battles. He does all this in secret too, with nobody, not even the High Council themselves knowing. And if someone else tries to expose him, the High Council won't believe nor listen due to a lack of concrete proof.

Ambitious, cunning, smart and overall mean, Buzz is one teacher who expects perfect As... or else

However, thanks to the efforts of Makoto Naegi and his fellow survivors, Junko willingly executed herself. Years later, Junko was revived by an alien race known as the Link Jokers, given immense almost god-like powers. With this, she and several revived henchmen from past Killing Games caused an invasion until she was stopped and killed once again by Sonic and The Disciples, betrayed by Celestia and Chihiro.

When LOSE managed to scrape what was left of her soul, Junko was revived as Monokuma, who went on to lead LOSE alongside several other leaders. In this form, Monokuma prefers to maintain his usual personality, but he can harness the other Junko personalities although he prefers not to. Not until he finds some way to gain a new human body.

Humorous yet diabolical, cute yet intimidating, Monokuma is the brains behind many of LOSE's operations, Monokuma is one bear to not be underestimated.

Bio:

Spoiler

Nagito Komaeda is a bit of a strange case. He's known as the Ultimate Lucky Student due to, you can probably guess, his crazy amount of luck. This luck is more of a curse than a useful trait, though. It can either be extremely good luck or extremely bad luck. If something good happened to him (ex winning a lottery), something bad is usually to follow after (ex someone stole his lottery card).

Personality wise, Komaeda comes off as a kind and optimistic young man. He often encourages other to be hopeful and cooperate with everyone. Unfortunately, his social skills need some work as he often lack tact and say things that may seem weird or unsettling and continue on as if it's a casual thing to say. Komaeda rather avoid conflict and get along with people.

Finally, Komaeda have a strong yet twisted ideal of Hope and tries his best to get everyone to believe in it, even if it means he have to do some questionable things to reach to that point. He's improved since some of the more dubious actions he's attempted in the past however and now appears to want to work with the Skylanders in order for his own goals of achieving hope. 

 

 

Chapter 001: Recruitment Day Part 1: 

For many ages, the common belief for many was that the universe was the limits of a reality. That there was nothing else out there. Could anyone really imagine that there'd be anything else out there? Alternative universes that were somehow different, yet so similar to their own? 

For eons, this belief was known throughout all of fiction, but as with any belief, such a fragile thing could be easily broken, and through a small act of defiance, the multiverse would never be the same again. A warrior wishing to prove herself and a hero thought to be dead broke through the bounds of their reality, perhaps through fate, perhaps through the mistakes of reality, but with that barrier broken forever, the universe itself expanded into a multiverse.

This gave way to a new world in the center of the Multiverse, simply known as "The Hub". However, with the first cracks in the multiverse already created, it was unavoidable that a group would rise together to abuse this new expansive multiverse, and combine their powers together in order to finally conquer it.

The heroes were unable to defeat this new threat and the multiverse found itself in danger due to this act of defiance. With no other option, a group of heroes rose up to fight back. This is the story of a group of heroes who were determined to rise up through the bounds of destiny, and create their own fate. The group that against all odds, against all punches, kept fighting against the evil that threatened to destroy their homes and everybody they love.

This is the story of this new group of heroes. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the center of the multiverse, a small floating island named the Hub stood forth. On the floating island, there were various pieces of construction tools and a small army of oddly shaped robots that scratched their heads as they looked through the various blueprints around the area. In front of the giant area was a massive sign with a small bearded creature on it. 

Spoiler

"Built with hard work and harder handling supplies by Buzz and Co!" The sign read with a pretty lame attempt at a catchy slogan. Several robots quickly scurried over to begin polishing and cleaning the sign. It seemed clear that whoever created it had a sizable ego.

"I think he wanted the courtroom built under the school, that way we can keep it hidden until it's needed..." One of the robots said, as they pointed out several points on the blueprint. Another robot began fuming as smoke rose up out of it's head. "Who in their right mind wants a courtroom built into a school?!" The second robot shouted, as he grabbed the plans and crumbled them up, throwing it on the ground.

"Hey, you're the one who gets to break the news to the bosses, although I thought they didn't like defective robots...". The first robot said, walking away, whistling a robotic tune. The second robot's eyes widened, as he quickly picked up the paper, desperately straightening it.  

As the first robot ran away from his friend, he ran past the stairway, leading into the school building itself, the building that had been mostly finished by this point. On top of the doorway, a small banner was posted with a message "Welcome Recruits!".

Standing on this stairway was a small blue candy-like object with a sword, and a blue-haired girl, both of them trying to keep an optimistic smile. These two were Sonic the Hedgehog - One of the remaining survivors from a race called the Sentinels, and Sayaka Miki - A magical girl who once fell into the jaws of death, but was resurrected. 

Spoiler

  

The two looked over towards the sign that had been dug into the ground as the robots left after polishing it.

"Hmph, figures that egotist would make sure everybody knew who created this academy. I'm still not sure why we even agreed to let him near it". Sayaka said, glaring at it. 

"Tell me about it, seeing his face here disgusts me to the very core". Sonic said, gritting his teeth in sheer anger as he looked at the sign.

"Why on earth would the higher-ups even let him near this place. What about the rumors going around about him? Why would they trust anyone like that?" Sayaka shouted.

"Because right now, they're just that, rumours. Y'know, with no evidence?". Sonic responded, however he seemed to angrily mutter something under his breath. "Granted...they probably wouldn't have the time to even look at the evidence if it appeared" 

The two quickly concluded their conversation, trying to shake off their annoyance, as Sayaka observed the various new recruits that had gathered around from around the entire multiverse, all of them lining around the entrance of the academy. "We got a good batch of new recruits so far!" Sayaka said optimistically, as she examined the various recruits that had gathered. 

Sonic gave a nod, as he slowly began walking towards a small ribbon that was tied in front of the Academy entrance. "Yeah, with so many gathered here, we should probably open the academy up! Looks like Buzz still left the ribbon in front of the main entrance...". As he did this, Sayaka quickly realized her partner was forgetting something. "Wait! You forgot the scissors! You need them to cut the ribbon during ceremonies, right?" Sayaka said, as she held up a comically over-sized pair of scissors.

"Not needed" Sonic said, as he simply gave a small chuckle and held his sentinel sword up high, as flames flowed through the large and powerful blade. He quickly slashed the sword through the ribbon, causing flames to run through it and reduce it to ash as it fell onto the ground. "You know I'm all about the spectacle!" Sonic shouted back.

As this was happening, several of the new recruits began talking to each other.

A green-haired girl stood among the crowd of recruits, next to her was a purple cat that laid on the ground. As the two began to awaken, they overheard the situation with Sonic and Sayaka. The green-haired girl was named Sanae, and it appeared this wasn't where she planned to be. "...Wait...where is this?! D-Did my ritual go wrong!?" Sanae said to herself in shock, as she tried to gather information from her surroundings.

As she did so, the purple cat next to her began to slowly awaken and stir, clutching her head. "Ugh..." The purple cat said, somewhat annoyed as she stirred on the ground. Sanae looked around her surroundings and quickly determined the answer to the question the two were likely wondering. She realized the two ended up on an alternative universe. "Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to use a random ritual as an attack..." The girl said, as she looked towards the cat. "Come on Blaze, wake up! Looks like we ended up in another dimension during our fight!" 

Spoiler

Blaze, upon hearing this quickly regained her bearings, flipping up and landing on her feet, glaring at Sanae with hostility. However, the cat soon backed down, using her logic to determine that it was her error in using the Sol Emeralds - Mystical Emeralds of Infinite Power that resides in Blaze's world that caused the two fighters to end up in this dimension. 

Sanae kept a cool head as she saw Blaze's hostility leave somewhat. "Have you calmed down now? Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything bad, I'm a shrine guardian after all!" Blaze, with no other option decided to instill a small amount of trust to this strange girl.

She couldn't quite remember how they got into this mess, it all seemed like a blur to her, but it seemed for now, they were stuck in it together. Blaze reluctantly stuck out her hand, doing her best to keep her friend Cream in her head as a method to move past her natural distrust of others. 

"We haven't been properly introduced. Blaze The Cat, Guardian of the Sol Zone and the Sol Emeralds." Blaze said, short and to the point. "And I'm Kochiya Sanae, a living god and shrine maiden from Gensokyo!" Sanae said, shaking the cat's hand. It appeared an uneasy alliance had been made.

As Sanae and Blaze made their alliance, they looked over to Sonic and Sayaka, the two of them seemingly ready to introduce their recruits to their new base of operations.

Sonic began twirling his sword excitedly as he suddenly pointed it towards the entrance to the school. "Skylanders  Academy is now open! If you all follow me, I'll show you guys to the mission briefing room as the first step of our tour!" 

With that, Sonic and Sayaka began making their way to the first stop of their tour, two bear-like creatures followed the rest of the group, one was red, looking pumped up and ready for action, wearing a form of training gi and training gauntlets. The taller green bear followed behind, this bear simply wore a green top and was somewhat more lanky compared to the younger bear.

Spoiler

These two were named Rocku and Graff, Rocku was the red fighter while Graff was the somewhat lankier bear. These two are apart of a species named cavies and brothers, and it seemed they both decided to attend this recruitment for their own reasons.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the group began to walk through the hallways of the academy, Sonic pointing out various parts of the school along the way, Graff leaned down and whispered to Rocku. "Uh, Rock you wanna remind me why we're in some world we don't know following a bunch of weirdos?".

Rocku simply shook his head and kept walking, as he dryly replied to his brother's query. "Because it's a clearly a good chance to prove our potential while giving assistance to those who need help. Plus, stopping threats is kind of a good thing".

Graff scratched his head for a moment before leaning back down to his brother. "That concerns us because...?" Graff asked, causing Rocku to get slightly annoyed, as he suddenly turned to his brother and blurted out the answer in front of everyone. "BECAUSE WE'RE THE CHOSEN ONES GRAFF". This caused various mumblings among the recruits, wondering if they were trying to show off in front of everyone, or if it was a geninue mistake on the red cavy's part.

"Well, I see Sonic isn't the only one excited" Another person said, popping out of one of the doorwells, typing on a small device latched around his arm. Sayaka quickly turned to the person, smiling. "Tails! I didn't know you'd be here so early!".

Spoiler

Indeed, when the Skylanders got a closer look at the person, it was a small candy-like appearance similar to Sonic, only yellow, with a set of ears and trademark tails of his original counterpart.

With Tails quickly joining the tour, Rocku decided to speak up. "Um, excuse me....Sonic was it? Is there something going on in this world that made you call for us?".

Sonic quickly turned, pointing his sword to Rocku somewhat. "Good question!" Sonic said, still excited, as he got ready to explain. "We sent out a distress call to all of the various worlds in the multiverse. Villains from all over the multiverse have popping up more and more over the past year since Sayaka and I arrived in this world..." Sonic said, as he quickly grabbed a bar graph and showed it, the bar increasing to represent the larger number of villains over the period of the last year.

"As you can all see, over the past year, threats to our worlds have been continuing to rise. We've had too many close calls already, so I decided to call in some help and fast!" Sonic said, as he pressed down on the bar chart, causing it to snap back and roll back into it's original holding place.

However, when Sonic finished off the explanation, suddenly the group's attention was diverted when they heard a loud "Damnit" from the distance.

"Ah, I was wondering when he'd catch up". Sayaka said with a slight smile upon hearing this.

A white haired man wearing a red jacket and welding a sword was muttering to himself. "First a drag queen slaps me around, now I'm late for this? How can this day get any worse?".

This man was Ragna the Bloodedge, a wanted criminal known as the Grim Reaper, and now it seemed he wished to help protect the multiverse from the threats rising against it, although his motivation for doing so was unclear. 

Spoiler

"H-Hey! Wait up!" Another muffled voice shouted as a young girl ran into Ragna, falling onto the ground and causing the man to grumble further, it seemed this day did get worse.

As the group looked down to the girl, she wore a traditional Japanese Uniform and had a piece of toast sticking out of her mouth. This girl was Komaru Naegi, and unlike her older brother, she wasn't an ultimate lucky student if this was any indication. "Eh heh. S-Sorry I'm late" Komaru said with an awkward laugh.

Spoiler

"Forget it, let's just get on with the tour already" Ragna said, as he helped the girl up. However, to the group's surprise, the lights suddenly began to flicker into a deep dark blood red as various screens popped out of the walls of the hallway, flickering in and out, revealing a face that shocked Sonic and Sayaka to the bone.

"Oops, did I crash the party?" A black and white bear said, as he looked around at the group of recruits, His red eye glaring deeply into the recruits as Sonic and Sayaka both readied their weapons, ready for a fight. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now now, I'm not here for a blood bath brawl, I just wanna see who my new meat is!" The bear deviously said as he focused on Rocku, Graff, and Komaru, as he broke into a laugh. 

"Looks like I've got some new targets and some returning ones! Lucky me! Just wanted to give you kids a little despairful reminder, while you losers are studying away, doing your homework and doing whatever gross perverted crap kids your age do, I'm gonna be out spreading as much despair as possible, and since you nutcases decided to try go up against me, guess who's gonna be on my bucket list from now on!" 

"Oh! Where are my manners? Let me introduce myself! I'm Monokuma! And I'm the bear that's gonna spread despair across the multiverse...and beyond....! And if you guys are stupid enough to try stop me, you're just gonna get killed in the most brutal way possible!" Monokuma said, as he shifted his attention towards the centre of the screen...where he saw Sonic.

Monokuma's right eye seemed to burn red in total anger as he saw Sonic. "At least the "almighty hero" has already lead the lambs to the slaughter...oh yeah, this is gonna be tons and tons of fun". Monokuma said, with a much more malicious, sarcastic and distasteful tone towards Sonic. It seemed like this specific act would be out of total vindictiveness towards him more than anything.

As Monokuma quickly regained his composure, he shaked his head, regaining the previous more gleeful tone he had earlier. "Well, that's all for now. Buh-Bye!" Monokuma said with a final chuckle as the lights returned to normal, leaving the Skylanders stunned.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That bear...he just doesn't know when to give up, does he?" Another figure said, popping up behind the group of recruits, scaring them half to death. This mysterious man had long white hair, wore a black jacket and a white t-shirt with a red symbol on it.

Spoiler

Sonic, and Komaru both seemed to look slightly annoyed when they saw him, because they were both well-aware of who this is. Nagito Komaeda. The Ultimate Lucky Student, a hope obsessed nutcase who'll endanger anyone in the vain attempt to destroy despair.

"Apologies....for the lateness". Nagito said, greeting the rest of the group. "It was just my luck that I got caught up in a giant bird rampaging around the school that I missed our friend's little interruption" Nagito said, referring to Monokuma's just seconds-ago invasion.

As quickly as he had appeared, Monokuma had left the building, leaving just the thoughts of the evil manic bear and his words in the minds of these new recruits, although it seemed not everybody had taken the threats seriously...

"Aww! It's kinda cute, half evil sure, but still cute!" Graff said, somehow having found the insane teddy bear and his threats to be rather adorable. His brother could only stand there in confusion, trying to brush off Graff's comments. "...Alright...so what the heck was that thing?!" Rocku asked the more serious question.

"That bear...is called Monokuma and he's a serious threat!" Sayaka shouted, pointing at the screen as she did so, which had begun a small reboot process. "We've dealt with him before, and now he's apart of an evil organisation". 

Finally, the reboot process on the screens had concluded as another face popped up on it, looking around somewhat and looking quite dizzy. As the face focused on Sayaka, it gained a small smile. 

"Ah! Alter Ego, you're back online!" Sonic said with a look of relief, seemingly worried that Monokuma might've caused lasting damage to the systems. Alter Ego gave a nod in response. "Just managed to regain control, what'd I miss?"

"Ah, nothin' much. Just some half-cute, half-creepy bear dude blabbing on about spreading DESSPAAAAIR! So what's your deal Computer lady on screen?" Graff asked, pointing towards Alter Ego, causing the face on the screen to fluster slightly.

"I-I'm a guy actually, I'm designed after my father" Alter Ego said, wishing to hurry past that explanation and into what role he served in the academy's operations. "Anyways, I'm the program that helps maintain the academy! I'll also serve as a form of mission control - reporting your missions and their details and helping maintain the various Metal Sonics around here". 

During all of this however, it seemed behind the crowd, Sanae and Blaze were still trying to take everything in, and while Sanae tried to pry more details about why they were called here and who that bear was, Blaze was seemingly having a small crisis as the full situation began to hit her.

She realized that she no longer had the sol emeralds...which meant they were exposed and potentially in danger. "Oh no no no. What can I do here?! I need to find the sol emeralds!" Blaze said, beginning to panic slightly as she realized the danger her world could now be in, especially given the previous times she'd been whisked away to another dimension at random. She tried to consider her options but wasn't sure what to do. "Let me leave this instant! I have an important duty to fulfill!" Blaze shouted.

Sonic quickly stood in front of the cat, who looked like she was ready to explode, trying to calm and reassure her. "Hey hey! Calm down, we'll make sure the Sol Emeralds are guarded and protected, alright?" Sonic said. However, the sentinel's reassurance was ignored as a mad laugh suddenly broke out. A familiar laugh to Komaru and Sonic in fact.

"Oh, you mean Monokuma, correct? I don't believe he'll be a problem, we just have to work together and use the super power of..." Nagito had begun to say, pausing on that final word, attempting to draw out suspense for it when Sonic already knew what he was going to say. 

"Hope". Nagito finally said, much to Sonic and Komaru's annoyance. Already, the hope obsession had seemingly kicked into full gear. "What? Did you expect me to say something else?" Nagito said, seemingly somewhat sarcastically. 

Sonic brushed this off, looking back at both Sanae and Blaze, who both looked calm, Blaze especially. Deciding to place the issue behind her, the two came to their next question. 

"What do you want us to do?" The two asked.

Sonic turned to the full group, pausing for a moment while he mulled over everything. This was a somewhat risky gambit, recruiting heroes from the multiverse over. If it was going to work, he had to be sure everybody was on the top of their game.

"The important thing right now....is getting to know each other, and training your new elemental abilities.We can't fight if we're unprepared, and more importantly, if we're going to be able to work as a team, we need to be able to train as a team!". 

While Sonic remained somewhat optimistic that this plan could work, he did admittedly have a slight ulterior motive to wanting to work hard to ensure this worked. One of the higher ups was against this plan and it was only after things became so dire that Sonic finally managed to achieve approval for this academy. If it failed, he'd likely never be trusted with such a thing again.

However, the mood was somewhat broken when the group looked towards Rocku, who was doing a few punches through the air, looking incredibly pumped up and excited by the prospect that already they had a villain to face down. "Alright then! Since Winnie the Pooh there is a villain of ours, what're we up against exactly?!" Rocku said excitedly.

However, as Sonic and Sayaka began to try to explain Monokuma's origin and backstory, the sky darkened, as the windows inside of the academy because to shatter, causing an angered look from Alter Ego. The sky darkened as a deep booming voice formed.

"SKYLAAAAAANDDDDEERRRRRSSSSS" 

"PREEEEEPARRRRREEEE FORRRRR DESSSSTRUUUUCCCCTION" 

"Looks like we've gotta put that on hold... I had a feeling someone, or something would decided to attack us on opening day...". Sayaka said.

Sonic grabbed his sword and pointed it towards the doorway. "Alright recruits, let's see what you're made of! LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!"
