The Shinjuku Park Hyatt Hotel
Tokyo, Japan

The Trials were over & the combatants were returning. One of them being Ben Hermes, Member of the FMRC's C-Class also known as Semi-Transparent Lad. He didn't look to bad. Sure, he was missing most of his pants, his shirt, has some scrapes & bruises, but all in all: he was alright.

Their were various reunions happening in the lobby: some were happy & some were sad. Ben hadn't seen any of his group members yet, so he took this moment to head up to his room. Once at his floor, he exited the elevator & went over to his room. It was as they had left it a couple days ago. Ben found his suitcase & pulled out his spare Uniform, put it on & then went back downstairs to wait.

----------------


It was now twenty minutes in Ben's wait & he had yet to see anyone from his group. From across the way from him were The Butterfly Twins of Super Robot Six. They were wrapped in blankets courtesy of the exhausted Fashion Accessory. Ben saw that she’d hardly been able to color code Maki-Chan and Tei-Chan’s sheets. As they, their team & FA past by: Teiko pointed & said  “We’re alive because he saved us! He saved our lives.”

“I could so have saved your lives, too.” Aka Tombo told them jealously.

“What I want to know is what have you done to my Giant Robot, you hooligans!” demanded the funny looking man known as Professor Tofu.

During all this Ben blushed a bit. Then, Cho Cho Futago kissed Ben (one on each cheek) & one pushed a piece of paper into his hand. They left & from behind Ben, a voice said "I guess you didn't to do bad yourself, Semi-Transparent Lad!"

Ben recognized the voice, it was Betty Marsh's. Ben turned around to see Betty (Teen Avenger), James Milton (Billy Goat) & Mr. Summers standing behind him. This cause Ben to blush some more.

"I just can't believe it. We almost die & Inviso-Boy gets to hang out with two mostly naked Asian Chicks!" Billy Goat said with some disbelief.

Teen Avenger elbowed him in the side. "Ow!" he said. Then, Teen Avenger saw that a few people were carrying around awards & then said “We get plaques. Excuse Me.”

She then ran off while Billy Goat went off to check out some of the girls. Which left Ben with Mr. Summers.

"You did good, kid." He said. That meant a lot to Ben.

Then, Ben looked around for the rest of the group. Not seeing them, he asked. "Mr. Summers, where is everyone else?"

"Well, Lance & Dreama being their anti-social selves went up to their rooms. Oswald is around here somewhere. You've already seen Betty & James."

"Where's Morty?" Ben asked.

A short while later, his question was answered as The Masked Muskrat was wheeled through the Lobby on a gurney.

"Yeah. The bite he got from that Flying Pig got to him. Now, if we had access to him an hour or two ago, he'd be would have been alright. But, now: I'm not sure." Mr. Summers said as the gurney past by.

----------------


Later that day at the Tokyo airstrip where Herbert Garrick's private Jet had landed: C-Class had checked out of the hotel & were on their way home. Most of the group was bandaged up to some degree. As they approached the plane, Agent Holcomb told Mr. Summers that he could take out his Earpiece because he wouldn't be needing it anymore. The ramp up into the plane descends & the group make their way into the plane. Holcomb steps away from a moment to make a phone call. He presses number one on his speed dial. The phone rings for a moment or two. It's then picked up.

"Yes?" came the gruff voice on the other end.

"It's me, Mr. Garrick." Holcomb said.

"Ah, Holcomb. How goes it? I trust my plane is still in working order."

"Yes, sir. I'm calling about your plans for C-Class."

"You mean..." Garrick said & his voice trails off.

"No, sir. Their not dead. In fact, they did quite well. I've also noticed that we may have underestimated a few of the members of C-Class."

"So, what do you think should be done with them?"

"At graduation, I think the best & the brightest of C-Class should be put with B-Class."

"That may work. Not sure how Miss Brandiwyne will take that. But, she'll get over it. I'll have to see how they fair over the rest of training before I make that decision."

"Thank you, sir."

"What do you think should be done with the rest of C-Class?"

"I think we should restart a now defunct government program I was reading up about & have them run it for us."

"Which one is that?"

"Project: Aid & Response, sir."

Their was the rustling of papers on Garrick's end & then he said. "But, that project hasn't been used since the mid 1980's."

"Yes. I know, Sir. But, I think they might work well with in it's confines."

"But, didn't most of the original team members die?" Garrick questioned.

"Yes."

"Good. We'll talk more about this when you get back."

"Understood. We're just about to leave."

They both hung up & Holcomb got on the plane.

----------------


"Are we all here?" Holcomb asked Summers.

"Yes. All C-Classers are accounted for, sir!" Summers replied sarcastically. He leisurely gave Holcomb a salute & then laughed a bit.

Holcomb grumbled something under his breath & said "Good." He then walked to mid point of the plane. He handed back Betty's Laptop. Sitting beside her was C-Class's participation plaque.

"Agent Holcomb, it's still warm." She said in the playful tone, as she felt her laptop's outer casing.

"Yes. I needed some way to keep track of you. I was also doing some research." Holcomb said & walk back to his seat in the front of the plane.

Betty then started up her computer & once it was on, she ran a program that would tell her what her computer had been used for while she was away.

----------------


About an hour into the flight.

"You know what I don't understand?" James said.

"A lot of things." Betty quipped from her seat. She was checking her e-mail.

James ignored the comment & went on. "Why Benny boy over there got to spend his time with two hot naked asian chicks while the rest of us almost died?"

Ben stopped looking out the window when he heard his name & Betty closed her laptop to respond. "But, Ben almost died too."

"Yeah, right." James said.

"Yes, He did. According to what I heard & pieced together. Ben, you can correct me if I got any of this wrong, He had to escape from those Young Heckfire &.. "

James interrupted "We did, too!"

"But, Ben got away." Betty said with a smirk on her face.

"I don't understand why he didn't get caught with the rest us?"

"I guess they didn't think he was that important. But, getting back to how Ben almost died: he had to fight off a pack of Octogorillas."

"What?"

"Octogorillas. They are the genetic merging an Octopus & a Gorilla."

"So, we fought off that Flying Pig?" James said, rather proud of himself.

"No. Morty took the Pig down, Ben & you helped him tie to a tree." After Betty had said that she looked over at the sleeping Morty a few seats away from her. He every so offen shivered, The Doctor's at the Hotel gave him some antibiotic but they don't appear to be helping.

"So, what? Ben had to fight off a bunch of eight armed primates. He still got to spend time with two naked asian chicks!" James said & then turned to Ben & asked "Did you even get their numbers?"

"No." Ben said. James gave a short laugh.

"But, I did get their e-mail addresses & IM screen names." He said as he held up a crumpled piece of paper in front of James' face.

Then, Betty laughed. She then stopped because it hurt when she did.

"Ok." James turned & asked. "Mr. Summers!" No reply. "Mr. Summers!" James asked again with another no reply. So, James tossed a paper cup at him which got a response.

"What?" Mr. Summers said slightly rubbing his head & turning toward some of his students.

"Who won?"

"Who won what?"

"You had the read out's of the grades from the trials. Right?"

"Yes."

"So, who won?"

"The Belgian Wafflettes did."

"Who?"

Betty then showed a picture of them to James on her laptop.

"Yes. They were one of the only teams to still have any coins in their pocession."

"Ok. Who got the highest grade within our little group?" James asked.

"Well..." Mr. Summers said & then thought for a moment. "I'd say Ben."

"Why?" James asked. Ben also wondered that, too.

"From what I had seen before the Observing Eye's systems freaked out, Ben seemed to have a grasp on the situation & he also help save two people who were even on his team."

"It all goes back to the naked asians!" James said off handedly which ended the conversation.

Mr. Summer turned back around, Betty went back to her computer (Her Blog needed updating), James started to check which of his bruises were bigger & Ben went back to looking out the window.

The rest of the trip was spent in silence. Lance was listening to his iPod, again. Oswald was playing with some water. Morty slept. Dreama was finishing her book on Merlin Solomon & was making notes about the text in her sketchbook. James spent most of the rest of the trip daydreaming about hot chicks (His favorite type of daydream). Ben starred out the window, thinking. What he was thinking about ranged from the group's recent adventure to what he knows about what happened to A-Class & what that means to him to him wanting to leave the FMRC all together.

All this was being watched by Agent Holcomb. He also was thinking, thinking about the changes that would be made soon.
