A blue-haired boy sat at the edge of his bed, twirling a pen in his hand.

"Hey, Linus"

The boy glanced up, rolling his eyes, "Oh hey, Jez"

The original speaker had brown hair, and a scar across his left eye.

Linus raised his eyebrows slightly as Jez sat down next to him, "Jawa and James giving you a hard time?"

"Eh, they're alright. Haven't actually tried to put themselves into the dimension yet"

There was a crash a bit further away from this peaceful gathering.

Jez squinted at the open door that he had came through, "Shiranui and Arlo are back at fighting in the dorms?"

Linus tossed his pen away, "What did you expect really? Them not fighting is like the moon rising twice in a row"

Jez frowned, "Hey, what's up with you? Why so down today?"

"How can I not be? This world we're in," Linus gestured around the room, "Is flawed, destructive and toxic. Everything is about fate, and what you're born with, even your mastery levels don't help, if you're born with a crappy ability"

"And top it off, we've got this gang murdering these elite-tier superheroes, and for all we know, they're going to kill us because our levels are even higher"

Jez warped his arm around Linus, "Whoa whoa whoa, Who said they're going to kill some 13 year olds? If anything, they're going to be trying to kill off the god-tier heroes"

"The heroes were trying to help us..."

"Do you feel safer now, that they're dead?"

Silence filled the room.

"Get soon rest, Linus" Jez stood up, sighing, "Tomorrow's the turf tournament, and as a healer, you should get some rest"

Linus groaned as he flopped down on his bed, "You too, You're the Ace for a reason"

Jez waved him off, "Don't worry, I barely go anyways, unless they need a substitute, for the Queen, even though I'm clearly a guy"

Jez closed the door slowly, closing his eyes as Jawa and James rushed up to him.

"Jawa managed to talk to the someone on the other side" James smiled, "We can change the story by nudging it in a different direction slowly"

Jawa shrugged as he pushed up his glasses, "It was no big deal, the person probably thought I was Link or Finn"

Jez put his hand up, "Look, it's not the time to think about dimension hopping, the turf tournament is tomorrow, and you," He pointed at Jawa, "Are the Jack, so will you please either go practice or rest. And you, James, go run your newspaper or something"

Jez walked off, leaving them at the door.

"He's kinda grumpy today, don't you think?" James tilted his head at Jez walked into the hallway, yelling at Shiranui and Arlo to "Cut it out, and be quiet so he can think"

"Yeah," Jawa agreed slowly as Jez walked back and plopped himself onto the couch, "He's slightly more irritable today... Maybe he'll be better after the Turf Tournament?"

"Yeah, let's head back to our dorm then, since he doesn't even want to talk right now... Which school are we going against?"

"We, Weston High, are going against Ridgeview High. And so far, we have won every single one of our tournaments since Arlo became King"

James nodded slowly, "Alright then, I suppose it's time to prepare for tomorrow"

James made his way to the door as Jawa turned around, scanning the walls.

"Hey there" 

Jawa said slowly, "I told you that you would see me in the story later, didn't I?"

"Hurry up, Jawa" James called, "I'm not going to wait for you any longer!"

"Aight, Coming!"
