fandomhigh | Fandom Invasions Class #3 (Thursday, period 4)

When the class arrived at the Danger Shop, they found John frowning at the room's remote as he hit several buttons, muttering about demons and possessed computer systems. Finally, with one last frown he put it aside and addressed the class.

"Good morning," he said. "It seems like the Danger Shop's projectors are being a little cranky, but we'll muddle through as best we can.

"Last week we talked about common dangers of Fandom that can pop up unnannounced at any time. This week, we'll be focusing on special events. Now not every special event ends in an invasion -- most of them run more or less smoothly and without incident. But some of them have more... exciting conclusions that were originally planned.

"Take last May's graduation." John pressed several buttons on the remote, his frown deepening when nothing happened but a slight whine. He sighed. "Which apparently we will be discussing without visuals. During the graduation ceremony, aliens came down and blew up the school. Yes, aliens. Yes, I know how far fetched that sounds. Welcome to Fandom. Luckily, the graduating seniors were able to drive them off, and the summer was spent rebuilding the school.

"But since the Danger Shop doesn't seem to want to relive that particular trauma, we'll move on to our inclass activity today." He hit a few more buttons on the remote and breathed a sigh of relief when the room changed into a gokart track. "Two summers ago one of the special events they had was a gokart race. As happens in Fandom, there were some uninvited guests." Shadows flew by overhead and if the students looked up they would see brightly covered, slightly quivery dragons heading for them.

"Jello dragons," John said with a grin. "They're attacking the gokart race and you have to repel them by any means." His grin turned wolfish. "Have fun."

This? Might be kind of easy for Johnny. Still, jello dragons were awesomely cool. He set himself on fire, careful of who was around him and his surroundings.

There would be Ino rolling her eyes at him and calling, "Don't you get sick of that being your solution to every situation?"

Johnny extinguished everything but his arm so he could speak properly. "Don't you use the skills you have? And I don't think you know me well enough to determine whether or not I use this as a solution to every situation."

"Sure I use my skills," Ino said agreeably, "but which ones vary depending on the fight. Flaming jello dragons seems rather overkill."

"Says you?"

"You're snarly today." Ino said, "Whatever."

"I'm just saying there is nothing wrong with melting jello dragons as a defense in this situation. When you have certain skills, why not use them?" He shrugged, not feeling snarly at all. "What's your means of weapon today, Ino?"

"Takes a lot of the challenge out of it though, doesn’t it? My hands and feet," Ino said simply, "Don’t have any other weapons on me at the moment."

Johnny smiled. "I'm not really up for flailing my arms, trying to swat at them. You are a ninja, I am not. I use what I have, just as you do."

"You mean a big strong man like you doesn't know how to fight?" Ino asked teasingly.

While they were talking a blue jello dragon was doing its best to sneak up on them.

Johnny didn't yet notice this dragon. He was still smiling at Ino. "Of course I know how to fight. With fire. It's what I do. What I know. I'm the Human Torch."

"Yeah, yeah," she grinned, and noticed the dragon from the corner of her eye, "but can you do it without fire? Don't you think it'd be a better challenge?"

No, she wasn't going to mention the dragon to him.

Sneaky blue dragon got close enough and opened his mouth, shooting blue jello 'flame' directly at both of them.

"What the?" Johnny turned around, hand going to the back of his head, feeling slimey jello stuck and... slimey in his hair. "Oh, gross!"

But yes... fire! He forgot!

"Go away!" He reached out, sending a small fire ball towards the blue jello dragon.

The blue dragon tried to dodge but didn't quite make it, the fire ball hitting its tail, causing it to melt...

and rain down on top of Johnny.
