Vseslav walked towards the ice kid. "It's not too late to change your mind." He said, trying to sound reasonable. "If you leave now, I won't have to hurt you."
The kid scoffed at him. "I won't run from some stupid dog man." He made a throwing motion with his hand and several shards of ice flew at Vseslav. He was expecting it, so made the pavement under his feet rise, making the shards hit the pavement uselessly.
Vseslav leapt off the platform he just made and landed a foot away from the kid. "Don't underestimate me. I'm not some punk out looking to have a good time. I play for keeps." He told him gravely.
The kid looked unsettled, but pushed on regardless. He reshaped his hands into blades and stabbed out at Vseslav. He parried the attacks easily and then retailiated with blinding speed. The kid's parries were sloppy and Vseslav saw many openings to strike fatal blows, but his aim was not to kill the kid. He settled for giving him a deep gash on his arm. Vseslav was impressed that the kid didn't cry out. "Do you surrender?" He asked.
The kid's blades returned to hands. He clenched his fists and unleashed a wave of cold energy. Shards of razor ice jutted out of the ground around the kid. Vseslav had to quickly dodge out of the way to not get cut in half. He silently cursed at himself for being so careless. The kid appeared pleased at his handiwork. Vseslav wouldn't give him a second chance to do it again. Two spikes suddenly shot out of the pavement under the ice and stabbed into the kid's shoulders and lifted him up off the ground. This time he took an audible sharp breath. Vseslav watched the kid casually. A third spike slowly rose out of the pavement and touched the kid's throat hard enough to barely draw blood.
"Let's try this again." Vseslav said calmly. "Do you surrender?"
"...yes." The kid said sullenly.

Kari dove down at the rock kid with the point of the spear leading. The kid laughed. "Do you really think you can peirce my skin with that toothpick?" He asked smugly.
The spear sank into the kid's shoulder and he let out a cry in pain. "Do you really think that this toothpick doesn't have any magical properties?" She asked with a satisfied smile. She pulled the spear out of his shoulder and prepared for the counter attack.
He swung his arms around clumsily trying to hit her, and she evaded the attacks easily. The kid roared with rage and slammed his fists into the ground. It created a shockwave that rippled for several feet. Kari jumped up into the air and let the wind pick her up out of the reach of the kid. "What are you going to do now that you can't reach me?" She asked teasingly.
The kid looked around and saw Jess. He decided that she would be an easy target to take his frustrations out on. He began to run at her.

*Jess saw that he was starting to come after her and she cursed to herself. She watched the rock man come after her but something happened that she wasn't expecting to happen. Jess looked around noticing she was trapped. Only then did she realize by looking at the guy that he was going extremley slow for some reason. Oviousley he figured she was not a threat at all because he was trying just to reach her to break her. As the guy reached for Jess she took a deep breathe and put a foot on his extended hand. Quickly she got onto his head and focused all her weight on one spot so his head would feel extremley heavy. With that he starts to fall backwards Jess leaps off him and looks back in just enough time to see him topple backwards. He was now like a turtle on his back.*

Vseslav looked over to see the other kid on his back. He made the pavement climb over the kid's limbs to restrain him. He walked over and sat cross legged on his chest. "Seems your fun time is over. Now...what shall we do to encourage you to forget all about this rip thing?" He ran this thumb along the edge of the blade on one of his kamas. "Let's see...you only need one eye. Ten fingers are too many anyways. Say...you weren't planning on having kids, were you?"
The kid's eyes bulged at that. Vseslav had to concentrate to keep his face from showing any emotion. "You always get to have the fun." Kari said.
Vseslav remembered that the rip had been open for a really long time now. He needed to repair the abnormalities he caused before the rip closed. He slashed down at the kid's face, narrowly missing the eye. "Leave peacefully and I won't hurt you." The kid nodded. Vseslav stood up and returned the pavement restraints to the ground. The kid shakily got up. "You might want to go to the hospital. Those wounds are going to bleed alot once you exit the rip. Particularly your friend." He removed the spikes from the other kid. They quietly left.
"What's wrong with you? You're never that nice to your enemies." Kari asked.
"We're running short on time. I wanted enough time to fix the area before the rip ended. I didn't want another lecture about being careless from you." He replied.
She rolled her eyes. Vseslav fixed all the pavement and the ice was already mostly melted.
"By the way." Kari said to Jess. "I saw what you did. That was interesting. What do you call that?"

*Jess shrugs her shoulders*
I don't really know...I just know that I had to get out of there or risk being smashed...I have no clue how that happened all I know is that it did.
*Looks around for a second*
How long exactly do these things stay open for anyway?

"You'll understand your powers better as time goes on." Vseslav said.
"As for the rips, it's pretty random." Kari explained. "Lately we've been lucky; for some reason or another, the past five rips happened in a perfect circle. All the rips happened at the same time and all of them stayed open for about a half hour. Unfortunately this was the last one of the circle, so we'll go back to wild guesses. Rips last for at least ten minutes, and I've never heard of a rip lasting for more than an hour. Anything between that is anyone's guess."
"Now, we have more important things to deal with." Tseslav said. "I didn't want to tell you this until you awakened. You put off a strange energy and I believe it's rip related. Since Kari can sense it too, that only proves that my theory is correct. What this means is that every awakened that gets anywhere near you are going to notice this. Some of them may attempt drastic measures to find out what it is. I think it would be in your best interest to have some protection."

*Tries to make sense of it but decides to wait to understand later. So Jess stares at him blankly.*
...Meaning...?

"For a couple days we'll keep track of where you are at all times. Once you get used to your powers and we explain some things about rips and factions we won't need to anymore. Here." Vseslav put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a celphone. He tossed it at Jess. "This phone has both mine and Kari's number in it should you need to contact us. It also has a tracking device in it so we'll know your location. "What we'll--"
Vseslav felt the pressure in his head again. Shortly after their forms changed back to normal and the rip faded. "Looks like the rip is over. Anyways, what we'll do tomorrow if you're available is have you come to the Lawson Library so we can go over some things with you. That way we can keep an eye on you and get the rips 101 out of the way."

*Frowns and glares at the phone but decides its not enough to get angry at. So Jess stared at it cautiosley but she she grabbed it and put it in her coat pocket. She nods at them.*
Fine...I have to go to the library tomorrow for...certain things anyway. I'll be going there right after school...so probablly about 2:45...
*Looks at her watch*
But I really must be going now...
*Starts to walk away but pauses*
Oh yeah...you still owe me that letter of recomendation...since that is why I did come here.

Kard chuckled. "Of course. Cya then."
Once she left he turned and looked at Sarah. "How do you think that went?"
"Pretty well considering that your pretty plans were torn to bits." She said.
He nodded. "Think she'll join Guru?"
She shrugged. "Who knows? We'll have to wait and see. Anyways, I need to punch in the data for tonight's rip before I go home so I need to head out. Cya tomorrow."
Kard waved before turning around and walking towards his apartment.

*When Jess got home she go to lay on her bed imagining it will probablly take her a while to fall asleep. Before she even finishes the thought she is passed out. By morning Jess feels refreshed untile she gets to school. Then things are worse then usual, the counsler keeps on pestering her about getting her attitude under control. Not to mention the students are always so friendly to her. Jess grumbles on her way to the library in an even more sour mood then she was the day before.
As she walks through the doors she quickly looks for the books she needs...one on anger management, and the other a greek mythology book.*

Zak noticed that a girl walked in the library, so he went upstairs to hide away incase he was to be picked on by his appearance. ZAk then went back to his reading on the ancient Chinese civilization. he also had a book about the Japanese history sitting beside him.
Zak's mind then drifted off to what happened last night. He wondered about what Kard had said about how every one had this "potential". He was asking himself,"Do I have the 'potential'"?

*Jess lifts her head out of the book, looks around, and frowns. She could have sworn that she had felt someone watching her. But she guessed she didn't so she shrugged going back into her book.*

Zak realized he left his coat downstairs. He walks down the stairs and walks by the girl who just entered. Zak reaches down and picks up his coat and turns around to go back up the stairs. Something about this girl reminds him of last night but he can't quite remember.

*Jess knows someone was looking at her now as she lifts her head and looks. She spots him almost instantly. He is not too far away so Jess asks him.*
Is there something I can help you with?
*Pauses for a second and thinks trying to remember something*
Do I happen to know you somehow?
