[Powder Miner]

After nearly being thrown off of the thing, Tom lashed out with a kick that imblanaced the thing, flipping around onto its back, being tasered again, falling off, wrenching the taser out of the bot's hand, getting back on its back, and jamming it into the panel in back. After eing knocked down by the thing's thrashing, it stopped moving, and Tom clamed down. "W-w-wait what?! I did that?? What? ...I guess they weren't lying when they said it was rage..." He was feeling pretty beat up though. "They don't try to kill me... I guess they stop at maiming..."

He was called out, and the next one took his turn (with a new bot).

[The Fool]

As Adam walked the halls towards his room he looked around for people. No one was around him, and no cameras were around where he was. He pulled out his revolver and spun around with great force before his doppelganger had a chance to react. He was lucky. The impact was enough to dissipate the doppelganger in a burst of light.

Memories rushed into him. Sensations that were alien to him filled his mind while memories that belonged to someone else clouded his sight. A feeling of vertigo forced him to stumble as the world around him spun. He ran to the nearest trashcan as a vile taste of stomach acid appeared in his mouth. He threw up in the nearest trashcan and sat down for a second to get his bearings again. A disturbing smile ran across his face as he reached the last memory, him spinning around to kill himself.

He headed back to the dorm, changed, and summoned a new doppelganger. He knew he was late, but that didn't matter to him. With any luck he would get there before the ceremony really began.

It seemed he was a bit late and Tom was just now walking out of the ring.

High in the bleachers, Sam sat with the rest of her generation. As she had wanted to hear the names of the newcomers, she'd reluctantly removed her ear plugs, and had also taken off her shades in order to see more of the action.
Grimacing at the din battering her eardrums, she concentrated on the names the instructor read out as he motioned them forward. For a moment, the instructor held his clipboard up, and she was able to see the names of the 8th generation. Spotting Tom at the exact middle of the list, she concentrated on preventing her eardrums from rupturing due to the din made by the rest of the subjects.

Finally, it was Tom's turn. A little worried, she watched him look back towards the instructor to say something. Bad move, she thought, seeing the bot grind forwards. He hadn't finished his sentence before it struck him. Sam watched a change spread across his features. That would be the rage. But wait, he's acting differently. Maybe they gave him some sort of martial ability? What unnerved her most however, was hearing his surprise afterwards.

((Dammit, why does it take me 20 mins to write anything decent?))

Alexander stepped in afterwards, and took the pill just as the instructor asked "What's your power?" Alex simply replied "I can summon a Shadow." With that he stepped fully into the ring, and the gate close shut behind him. The bot swung into action, and its tazer zipped towards Alex. For a moment it appeared the stike would land, but suddenly a Shadow appeared in front of Alex, and the strike knocked into Shadow's stomach causing no harm.

Alex then stared at the bot, and said "Destroy the thing." Shadow nodded his head, and his hand flashed forward piercing the bot's left arm joint, and disabling it.

[The Fool]

They showed up just in time for Alexander's bout. They both cheered from the crowd. "Go Alexander!"

"Yeah! You can do it!" The shadow made quick work of the bot, which didn't even stand a chance. "Wow. That was fast. Remind me to never mess with him."

[adwarf]

Several seconds later hundreds of tiny shadow threads burst out all over the bot, and it crumpled to the floor. With a wave of his hand Alex dismissed Shadow, and he receded back into Alex's own Shadow. He looked up at Adam, and smiled, but suddenly his vision turned slightly red, and he fell to the floor. He sat there, on his hands, and knees, coughing up blood into a small pool had formed touching both of his hands, and running to just below his neck.

"Well looks like I went to far ..." Alex managed to say before collapsing into the puddle of his own blood.

(Sorry my internet started cutting out, and I didn't get to finish all of it)

[Powder Miner]

Tom watched Alexander beat the heck outta the thing with shadows. Impressive. But as he began to walk out he fell down, and ended up down in a pool of his own blood. "Oh my god!" Tom got there near first, taking out his map as panic began to start. "Someone help me out!" He scanned the map. It seemed that the infrimary was not too far away... but he doubted he could lug them over there. "Crap, crap, someone help me get him to the infirmary!"

[The Fool]

"We've got it." Adam and his doppelganger rushed into the arena, hopping over the railings as they moved. Within moments they were at Alexander's side.

"Alright then. 1...2...3!" They lifted him in unison and started moving towards the infirmary. He wasn't that heavy between the two of them.

Adam called out to the crowd to keep them calm. "It's all right. Just keep going. He'll be alright. It's not like this doesn't happen every now and again."

"Hey Tom." Adam's doppelganger motioned towards the doors. "You can come to the infirmary with us. You need to learn your way around here sometime."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Rada watched silently from her standing position near the back wall. They have a lot to do and learn, she thought as the Gen 8s participated in the initiation.
