The True Power Kane U!

Leo rolled out of his bed the next morning to a rather annoying text message.

"Ugh, Metamorph."

The message read,

"I'm holding a mandatory meeting this afternoon! Be there early or I'll drag you here myself!!! You're the world's strongest faction lead by the world's strongest man, so I expect you to act like it for once!!!"

"Hmph, as if you could drag me here! If my calculations are right, you won't even be able to stop my three youngest students by the end of the summer, let alone the world's strongest man!!!"

Leo stood up and walked to the bathroom, splashing his face in the sink's running water. He shook his head, as if he were trying to snap out of something.

"Damn those two! Whichever one of you is behind all this, I'll kill you myself!!!"

Adrianna walked past his room and stopped.

"Are you alright in there, Master Leo?"

"Yes, now get ready!!! If we aren't early to this meeting, I'll have the kill the First Seat of the Table of Black! And I'll be damned if I go to jail before I make you guys stronger!!! MOVE IT!!!"

Adrianna heard feet everywhere trampling around. She took off herself, laughing. She was starting to have fun at Kane. But none of them was ready for what was coming next.

--a few minutes later

They walked down a few blocks to the main road of the neighborhood of Kane's Factions. As they walked up the main road, they passed several shops, selling weapons, suits, caps, and delicious smelling street food. Adrianna starred around in awe.

"Master Leo, can we stop back over here on our way back?"

Leo turned, giving Adrianna a cold stare, but her soft, shy eyes broke him almost instantly. He sighed and tossed his wallet to Garrick.

"Free new suits and weapons on me, and of course threat yourself to some food. But you better promise me one thing!"

"O-okay?"

"I'll probably be called to train with the Table. As the Zero Seat, my duty is to manage the Table and make sure they maintain their strength. While I'm gone, you better get stronger!!! All of you! Got it?!"

They screamed in unison.

"GOT IT!!!"

Leo smiled, when he heard someone call out to him.

"The world's strongest team, slacking off as always."

"Ah, seat two, Gastro, what's you and the worlds laziest Faction doing up so early?"

Mark grabbed at his sword. The whole team tensed up as if they were ready for a fight. Adrianna slowly assumed the position, and her hands began to glow.

"Hmph, just know my team will be ready for yours when its time for this year's Faction Wars!"

"Sure, keep telling yourself that fatso!"

"You can't talk to me like that anymore Leo! I outrank…"

"You remember how you and Metamorph conspired to force the Table to make me the Zero Seat against my will? I'd shut it if I were you!"

Leo turned to walk away, and his team followed. Leo walked to the beat of his own drum. After declining the first seat, he was made something much more powerful. The phantom Zero Seat, who outrank the whole of the Table, and replace it members at will! After walking for a while, they approached the giant building known as Kane University. Metamorph stood on the steps.

"So, your actually on time Leo?!"

"You'd have been permanently late otherwise!"

Soon Gastro and his team, along with the rest of the Factions showed up. Teachers and staff funneled in as well, filling the schools front yard. Metamorph motioned for Megaphone, who put his hand on Metamorph's should and opened his mouth, acting as a mic and speaker.

"Good morning, Kane U! I'd love to say we're here for something fun but that is not the case."

Metamorph took a deep breath. Leo gave him an encouraging nod.

"We have an issue on our hands serious enough to threaten all of Achilles! We have reason to believe two of own former students are conspiring our doom as we speak! Danny Pac, and Rip Graves the only people smart enough to upend the world as we know it! But you see, we are still Kane University!!! We may bend but we will never break! We may fall, but we always get up! We are the best!!!! So as of now, summer break is over!!! We all must become stronger! Not only to defend ourselves, not only to defend the world, but to defend our pride!!! We are Kane U, and its time we reminded the world who their greatest heroes are!!!"

The crowd erupted in a battle cry! Leo smiled.

"Good job Metamorph!!! I couldn't have said it better myself!"

The crowd roared all the way back to their Faction homes, leaving Leo and the Table of Black. Leo grinned menacingly!

"Hmph, I guess it's about time I whip you old fucks into shape!!!"

Lightning crackled from the skies, and Leo disappeared, leaving a message read on a crude piece of paper in his wake. Megaphone snatched it up, trying to read it.

"Ugh… CAN ANYONE READ GODDAMN CHICKEN SCRATCH?!!!"

Metamorph and Gastro laughed, and Metamorph grabbed the paper.

"It says, 'Meet me at the top of highest Mountain…' "

Gastro shook.

"Does he mean…"

Metamorph nodded.

"The Mountain of the Three Headed Dragon!"

Everyone gasped. Everyone except Megaphone.

"How in the hell did you read that shit?!"

--a few hours later

Garrick stood in front of The Legend Faction right in front of the training grounds. He held a clip board, reading Leo's crudely written notes.

"Geez, I wish he'd just text us! Anyways, we are to train and spar until he gets back, and he has training partners planned for the next three months. In addition, he and the Table will be away for the time being, so we'll have to handle their work. We'll wear our old uniforms until next school year, might as well not beat up just yet. Let's get going! Mark, you're with me, Adrian and Adrianna will be training together, and Tammy and Tony will be training together. Move it!"

Mark grinned at Garrick, while Adrian frowned, as if he were disappointed. Adrianna's hands started to glow.

"Now's my time! Now's my time to Blossom!"

Everyone geared up as they unknowing prepared for a war only The Divine could've seen coming….
