Detention, Saturday, September 22

There was a tall, military-looking redhead - better known to most as Lieutenant Kerrigan - in a sleek metal suit tapping her foot against the floor of the Danger Shop and looking just this side of incredibly annoyed.

"Listen, children, you're obviously here because you did something incredibly stupid. Today, I am going to show - not tell - you how incredibly dumb that is, and how incredibly dead you are going to be should you do something stupid again. Shut up, don't talk, and get the hell into the sim before I personally decide to nail your butts to the wall."

She pointed at a projector on the wall.

~~Jack Burton~~
~~Lee Adama~~
~~Yamanaka Ino~~
~~Andros~~
~~Ed Elric~~

"If your name's not on there, get the hell out of my Danger Shop. If it is and you're not here, then I'm talking to thin air and I'll hunt you down myself. GET!"

Stupid people brought out the military in her.

On this deserted field of rocks, there is a very large flood of creepy crawlies with very large claws coming at you. This may not be entirely healthy.

How hard can you run?

Emerging from the oddly placed lunchroom, Ed eyed the creepy crawlies warily and started looking around for a way out of this. "Hate deserts. Always have. Stupid barren things."

The Zerg were very fond of deserts. They were easy to move in. That may have been why they were coming in fast from behind, leaving very little room for escape except for the large empty stretch up ahead.

He eyed the rush and, again, clapped his hands together and knelt to touch the ground, transmuting the area between him and the Zerg into a deep trench, moving all the material taken out into a berm on his side of the trench. If there was water near by, he would have flooded it, but as it was, he just started moving away, interested in seeing what they'd do.

The Zerg responded as they always did: by swarming. They swarmed right on into the trench and right back up again, as if it didn't even matter: their sharp claws found a foothold in anything.

One of the Hydralisks up front let go another one of its charming screeches.

Well, that didn't work. Ed vaguely wished he knew how to control fire like Mustang, but the urge passed.

He tried again, first turning and spraying the front ranks with bullets from the almost forgotten gun, then kneeling to turn the hard rock under their claws into quicksand.

Some gunfire struck the Hydralisk in the face and it went down - a good chunk of the front lines found themselves suddenly embedded in the ground without their own say-so.

The mass at the rear, however, simply used the bodies of their fallen colleagues to get across.

After not eating his lunch, Lee came back out and looked around. "Maybe I can just walk out of this stupid place."

Something was rumbling.

Something was rumbling a lot.

Upon reflection, this may have been the gigantic mass of Hydralisks and Zerglings coming up on Lee's rear.

The rumbling wasn't hard to miss and as soon as Lee caught sight of the things coming at him from behind, he felt it was prudent to start running.

Now. And fast.

So, he did. Stupid detention.

The Zerg were really quite enthusiastic about the chase. They gained ground pretty quickly.

As did, however, the very large, yellow, triangle-shaped spacecraft that cast an inescapable shadow on the masses as it crept up on them from behind.

In as far as a gigantic spacecraft could creep, anyway.

He was never going to be able to outrun these things. And he had one gun. If he died in here, he was going to be so frakking pissed.

He kept running, looking for somewhere to dive or for some magically appearing wall he could run behind and hide.

There was no wall.

There was, however, a very large Protoss spaceship that disintegrated most of the Zerg as it slid ever so gently ahead.

Ino left the lunch area full but unhappy. She doubted that was going to change.

"I hate detention." She said, "I hate sand, and dirt, and giant creepy ass bug-things"

If she were paying attention, she might notice a distinct earthquake-like quality to the ground beneath her feet. And a gathering of dust off in the distance.

Seeing the dust clouds in the distance, and then the ground beginning to shake a bit under her feet, Ino knew she'd been right.

The only thing to do was run as far away as possible. Gathering up her chakra, Ino took off.

The very large army of Zerg bounded happily after her like a group of spectacularly murderous-looking canines.

A quick glance back over her shoulder made the day just that much worse. Her gun was going to be useless against that many of the bugs. Ino ditched it - it was only weighting her down - and sped up.

The gun got trampled under the weight of several Hydralisks barely half a minute after being left behind. There was plenty of space to run, yet - but all paths looked to end in the valley up ahead.

Like driving cattle.

Jack decides that he who runs and runs away lives to run away a lot until he can come back with reinforcements.

Like the entire Armed Forces.

Jack turned and ran away from the swarm.

The swarm swarmed after him like a swarming thing that swarmed. If they could just get him into that canyon up ahead, that would be great.

Oh, no. Jack saw the canyon and started running parallel to it, hoping there was something he could use against them. Like atomics. Or a giant can of pest spray. Run, Burton, Run!

One Zergling took a chance. It hurled itself forwards, and then proceeded to bounce right alongside Jack, snapping its jaws at him.

The Zerg were not yet aware of the spacecraft coming up behind them.

Jack kicked the dang thing, hoping to punt it down into the canyon thing. The gun was empty.

Spaceship would be a very good thing right now.

Rather than flying off, the Zergling responded by biting at Jack's foot.

Meanwhile, his siblings were all dying quietly under the force of the spaceship's impressive set of weapons.
