As Zeus rushed down the hallway, he couldn’t help but think about that new girl and what she might be up to. ‘I will find out what she’s up to and I will stop her.’ Suddenly Zeus’s lack of attention caused him to run straight into someone. They both fell down and Zeus looked at the person to see who it was. It turned out to be some girl he had never met before. She wore these magenta colored goggles. Her skin looked to be just a shade darker than Rarity’s but not by much, Her hair was also blue with white streaks. She wore blue headphones, and Zeus could see that in his blind rush he had hit her so hard they came off, and from where Zeus was he sort of heard the music from where he was. ‘My god how loud is that girl’s music? She must be practically def. Also what’s up with this school and having mostly girls around here anyways. Jeez.’

Then Zeus said out loud. “I’m terribly sorry about that I didn’t pay attention to where I was going.” He then realized that she didn’t hear him and that she was just looking at him. With what he assumed was a blank expression. “Uh well, I’ll just be on my way want a hand?” He said as he put out his hand for her to take. She just looked at him for a minute before she took his hand and got up. “So I guess I’ll see ya around. Gotta get to class and such. Oh and my name is Zeus by the way.” Just as he was about to start heading to class again he heard.

“Vinyl.”

“What?” He turned around slightly confused.

“My name it’s Vinyl. Nice to met ya Zeus.” She said sticking her hand out.

Zeus chuckled then extended his hand and shook hers.“Well it’s nice to met you to Vinyl, but if you'll excuse me I gotta get to class. So I’ll see ya around then?”

“Yep see ya dude.” Then both of them went their own ways and went to class. Zeus managed to get to class a few minutes before the late bell rang, so he just went into the gym to wait for everyone else to come out of the changing room.

‘Ha advantages of having special permission to wear this cloak all day is that I don’t have to change at all.’

“Sup Zeus how’s it going for ya kid?” Said Coach Spitfire. Zeus looked up and saw her standing over him with a small grin on her face.

“I’m doing fine Coach Spitfire. I assume it’s the same for you?”

“Meh same old same old.” She said while she sat down next to Zeus. “You ready for today’s class? I’ve got quite a treat for you guys.”

“Oh and what would that be?”

“Oh just a nice game of dodgeball.” Spitfire said with a bit of a sinister grin on her face.

Zeus just chuckled and shook his head. “You must love your job don’t you?”

“You bet I do.”

“HEY ZEUS!” Zeus looked over and saw Rainbow Dash rushing over to him. “Hey Zeus I’ve been looking for you.”

“Oh what for?” Zeus replied.

“Why to apologize of course. Duh, for being one the smartest kids in our grade your kinda slow sometimes.”

Zeus chuckled then said. “Alright fine what did you want to apologize for?”

“For making you angry this morning. I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t know it would piss you off.” Rainbow said this and looked down with a sad look on her face.

‘Wow even Rainbow can get down. It just must take a lot for it to happen.’

‘It seems one of the only things that could get her down is if she seems not loyal to a friend.’

‘You know what Blue? That makes sense.’

“Okay Rainbow I forgive you. It’s alright now.”

“Awesome!” She said giving Zeus a hug.

Zeus tensed up and said “Uh what are you doing?”

Rainbow quickly let go realising what she did.“Oh uh, I was just, uh, giving you a hug?”

“Awww isn’t that sweet, two of the most athletic kids in the school are hugging. Next thing you know you guys will be holding hands or something.” Spitfire said making the pair jump.

“Oh uh Coach Spitfire I uh forgot you were here.” Rainbow stuttered out.

“Oh relax Rainbow I’m just teasing you. So you ready for a friendly competition today? Now if you guys will excuse me I’ve got to go and check on the others.” She then went to the front of the gym to hurry up the other kids.

“Heh Rainbow doesn’t know the meaning of a “friendly” competition.” Zeus said in a slight undertone.

“Hey! I do know what friendly competition is thank you very much Zeus.” She then saw Zeus laughing.

“Oh Rainbow you're too gullible.”

“Oh yeah? Well smart guy, did you find Fluttershy and walk with her to class like you promised?”

Zeus’s eyes widened when he realized that he had completely forgot to go and walk her to her next class.

“I’ll take it by you silence that the answer is no? I mean I’m just guessing here, because I can’t see your face.”

“Oh uh well you see what had happened was that I uh…”

“Oh come on just say it. Just say you forgot. I promise I won't judge you for it, well maybe I won't.”

“Hey now you two get in your spots. We have a class to get started!” Called Spitfire from the doors of the gym.

“Okay Coach.” Rainbow called back. “You are so going down dude, I’m gonna school you in dodgeball.” She said with a knowing smirk on her face.

“Well that is provided, of course we are on the opposite teams. And not on the same team.”

“Well come on the odds of that happening are-”

“Are very high considering that you and I are two of the most athletic people in the class.”

“Well, I’ll just be sure that when I’m a team captain to not pick you.”

“Hey now aren’t you getting a bit ahead of yourself there? You mean if you get team captain.”

“Nope I meant when. I mean come on, I’m awesome why wouldn’t I be?”

“I could think of a few reasons.” Zeus mumbled.

“What was that?”

“Oh nothing.” Zeus said looking away with a smirk. That of course went unnoticed by Rainbow.

“It didn’t sound like nothing.”

“Hey now you two love birds, stop talking so I can tell the class what we're doing.” Spitfire said from the front of the gym

Rainbow gets a big blush on her face, while the entire class laughs at them. Zeus just crossed his arms and shrugged uncaringly.

“Good now that I have your guy’s attention. We are gonna do a nice good old fashioned game of dodgeball.” Some people in the class groaned at the thought of having a red ball heading for their face. The others just cheered with many of them raising their hands saying they want to be team captain. While Zeus just nodded his head.

“Okay okay calm down now, I have already chosen the team captains, one shall be Rainbow Dash.” She got up with a big yeah, and walked to the front of the class. She looked at Zeus with a face that said ‘I told you so’. Zeus just shook his head and chuckled.

“Okay now the second team captain will be, Zeus.” Zeus stood there for a second in shock, while the rest of the class was waiting for him to get to the front. “Well? What are you waiting for? Come on dude get up here.” Spitfire called out to him, motioning her arm to get him to come on. Zeus walked up to the front still slightly shocked that he got team captain. While yes he is one of the best athletes in the school, he still doesn't get team captain. He much more prefered to just sit back and let the leader make decisions. He didn’t like being the leader of a group or be in charge. The way he saw it is that if something went wrong they’d blame the man in charge. For he has had experience in that regard from when he was younger.

“Okay now that Zeus has finally joined us up here it’s time to pick the teams. Do you guys care who gets first pick?”

“Nah.” Rainbow said, and Zeus shook his head.

“Okay Zeus you can get first pick. Since this is your first time being a team captain.” Zeus looked at all the kids in his class. He started thinking of a bunch of strategies and who it would require and who Rainbow wouldn’t take from him. Zeus pointed and called out a rather skinny boy to join his team. He was dark skinned and his hair was in a low fro he didn’t look that athletic. Everyone just stared in shock. Including the boy, seeing how he was always one of the last people to be pick, but he quickly gets up and joined Zeus by his side.

“Okay then, your turn Rainbow.” Spitfire said with a slightly confused look on her face. Rainbow looked at Zeus skeptically wondering what he’s up to, she then shrugs it off choosing to take the opportunity to pick more athletic people in the class. It continues that way for a while, them picking their team members. A few times Zeus did the same thing as he did at the beginning and picked some of the weaker kids.

“Okay now that’s everybody, everyone get to your sides and you have a few minutes to talk strategy.”

Rainbow’s team walked to their side all confident that they are going to win, considering who Zeus picked to be on his team. Then they saw Zeus walking all confident that he would win. Confusing many of them on Rainbow’s team. How could he walk so confidently with who he’s chosen to be on his team? When Zeus and his team got to their side he quickly started talking to them.

“Okay guys, I have a masterful plan here and just to be sure, who here can throw really well?” A decent amount of the kids raised their hands including the rather skinny kid. “Okay now how many of you can catch well?” Again another decent amount raised their hands. “Okay perfect now those that didn’t raise your hands, can you guys dodge well?” They either nodded their heads or shrugged as in a sort of. “Okay good enough you guys that can throw well stay here. Those that can catch stay a decent amount of space in front of them. You guys that can dodge will be going up front with me.”

“Wait what’s the plan here? All we know is where to stand that doesn't tell us to much.” Said a rather short kid. His hair was short and cut neatly. He was light skinned and his hair was a dark brown color.

“Hey runt who asked you to question the captain? What he says goes got?” Said a rather, tall kid. He was light skinned as well and his hair was neat like and was a light brown color.

“Hmm may I ask what’s your name?” Zeus said to the big kid.

“My name is Michael.” He said sticking his chest out.

“Well Michael thank you for saying that but this kid does make a fair point. What is your name kid?”

“The name is Matthew, but you can call me Mat for short.”

“Well Mat, the answer to your question is this, those that can catch will obviously catch the balls, Then they will toss them to the kids that can throw, you will then move aside so that they can unleash a barrage.”

“What about you then?” Said another kid he was tall and rather skinny. His skin was kinda pale. He was wearing glasses and his hair was neat as well and it was a brownish color.

“Ah yes forgot about that one didn’t I? Well Me and the rest of those that can dodge will be upfront doing exactly that, and, unless you absolutely have to, do not break formation. Also what’s your name?”

“My name is Jonathan, but most people just call me John.”

“Ah well pleasure to meet you. So you guys ready?” They all gave a ‘Yeah’ in response. “Okay now let's do this guys, and put Rainbow Dash in her place.” Zeus walked to the center of the court, as did Rainbow.

“Okay now, play nice and fair. Team captains shake hands.” They both promptly shook hands and stepped back a little. Rainbow and her team all got ready to make a huge rush to the center. Where as Zeus’s team got into their places and stood there waiting. Zeus stood up front with his hands crossed behind his back, standing up straight.

“Okay now get ready.” Everyone but Zeus tensed up, he just stood there all calm, wating. “And… GO!” Spitfire blew her whistle, and instantly Rainbow ran off to get the first ball she could in the center along with the rest of her team. When they had all got all of the balls that were laid out they jumped back thinking that the enemy team had grabbed one maybe two, when they all looked real quick what they saw confused them. Zeus’s team had not moved an inch. In fact even he was just standing there waiting for them.

Rainbow started laughing really hard. When she had finally caught a breath she said. “So this is your master plan Zeus? For all your brains and such you decide to just stand there and let the enemy team get all of the balls?”

Zeus walked up, making himself a clear target for the enemy team. “Well if you're so confident Rainbow why don’t you go ahead and hit me?” Zeus said holding out his arms. “Come on I’m wide open.”

Rainbow just stood there dumbfounded that Zeus would just do that, but she quickly shook it off and went in for the kill.

“Okay then you asked for this.” She then threw the ball with all of her might, and Zeus just stood there patiently. Then at what seemed the last moment Zeus quickly turned his upper body to the left really quick. The ball went harmlessly past him, right into the hands of another kid who caught the ball.

Spitfire blew her whistle and said. “Rainbow you're out.” Everyone else just stood there shocked that one of their best players got out so quickly and easily.

Before she walks off, she said to her team. “Come on guys don’t just stand there take him out.” Her team shook their heads and prepared to throw all of their remaining balls right at Zeus.

Zeus quickly looked back and commanded. “ Back up quick, be prepared for the balls when they miss.” Zeus got down into a more ready stance. Then the team threw all of their balls right at him which was about five. Zeus quickly ducked to avoid the first one, then rolled to the left to avoid the second, then leaned back onto the ground to avoid the third, then he jumped up to quickly recover and jumped to the right to avoid the fourth. The fifth ball missed him completely. They all went right into the hands of the people that Zeus had catching. Spitfire uses her whistle pointing to five people and pointing them off the court. Everyone else is in shock at how fast he moved to avoid all of those dodgeballs. Zeus just dusted himself off and looked at his team and said.

“Okay hand them back now.” His catchers tossed them back to his throwers. “Okay ready.” They all get in a stance to get ready. “Aim.” They all aimed for their targets. “Fire!” Zeus said pointing his hand at the enemy team. They all threw to the enemy team some of them miss others get stopped in their tracks, but like two hit their target and got two people out. The rest of the game carries on like that. Except the enemy team started learning Zeus’s strategy and found a way around it. Eventually it all came down to just Zeus. He quickly looked around and see’s that he’s all on his own. Then he see’s the team and see’s five people remaining. One of them being Rainbow.

“Okay smart guy lets see how you do when you don’t have your army behind you. Get him guys.” She said throwing her ball at Zeus along with four other balls. Zeus then closed his eyes and concentrates exhales slowly and then opens his eyes with a snap. He grabbed the first ball that came at him, deflects the second, dodges the third and fourth by rolling and flipping, he then quickly throws the ball at the enemy before they can recover. Knocking out his third target in the span of a minute. Rainbow just quickly looked around and saw three of her team walk off grumbling.

“Holy crap dude. How did you do that?”

“I don't reveal my tricks Rainbow now why don’t we finish this?” Zeus said dusting himself off and trying to ease the muscle tension in his wrist.He then turns around and goes for the two balls that he had dodged before, as he did he heard a whistling coming he turned around to see a ball coming right for his face.

‘Shit, if I don’t use some help here then I’m out.’

Then like on its own accord Zeus’s body moved with inhuman speed and dodges the ball in the nick of time.

“What the? How on Earth did you avoid that you should be out!” Rainbow said in frustration. “Coach, come on back me up on this!”

“I-I don’t know Rainbow. Technically he didn't get out, he avoided the ball. I don’t know how though.”

‘You can thank me later Zeus.’ Red said smugly.

“I- I honestly don’t know what happened Coach I swear.”

“So does that mean you forfeit?” Rainbow said.

“What? No I still avoided the ball, so technically I’m still in, and I say you are out.”

“What? But you haven’t-” Just then a ball hit Rainbow straight in the gut. “Owwww.” The other guy just looked at Rainbow then at Zeus and said “I surrender.”

“Good choice.” Zeus said with a smirk.

“Okay class that’s it for today go and change.” Spitfire said blowing her whistle. “Obviously Zeus’s team won.”

As everyone went to change Zeus walks up to Rainbow holding out a hand and asked. “You okay Rainbow?” She looked up at Zeus then grabbed his hand and pulls herself up.

“Yeah I’ll be fine, awsome game and strategy by the way. Also where did you learn how to dodge like that dude?”

“Well good game to you Rainbow you. As to where I learned how to dodge… that’s a private matter.”

“Oh okay then. Well I’ll see you in a bit, gotta change.”

“Ah well see ya then Rainbow.” Zeus gave a little wave before turning around and saw a boy standing behind him. “Uh can I help you?” Zeus then recognized the boy. He had curly hair his hair was a darkish brown color and was wearing glasses. He even had the start of a small beard growing. He also was quite tall for his age. “Ah you're the one who got Rainbow out first right?”

He just looked off into space for a few more minutes, he then realized Zeus had spoken to him, he gave a shake of his head and said. “Huh? Oh uh sorry what did you say?”

Zeus gave a small sigh and said again.”You're the guy who got Rainbow out first right?”

“Oh uh yeah, I did, but it was thanks to your strategy that it happened.”

“Yes well we all played our own parts. I just made the plan, you're the one who executed your part well. What's your name by the way?”

“The name is Silver, nice to meet you Zeus.” He held out his for a shake. To which Zeus accepts.

“Same to you Silver.” Then Zeus heard someone from behind him say.

“Sup dude?” Zeus turns around to see the skinny kid from before.

“Ah yes and your name is?”

“My name is Toon master because I love cartoons.”

Silver snickered “Oh please ‘Toon Master’. He’s real name is Kyle, Zeus.”

Zeus let out a laugh. “Oh okay then Toon.”

Kyle shot Silver a dirty look. “Well anyways thanks for picking me first today. Your strategy was amazing.”

“Well I wouldn’t give all credit to me.”

“Nonsense.” Said another voice coming up from behind. Zeus turned around and saw it’s Michael with Mat and John. “You were the one in charge and had us do that absolutely fantastic strategy.” Michael continued.

“Yes I do agree thanks for that.” John said.

“Dude you're dodging skill were amazing I’ve never seen anyone move that fast.” Matt said with some admiration in his voice

“Yes well thank you my little friend.” Zeus said patting his head. Then Zeus turned around and saw Rainbow with two guys beside her.

“Hey Zeus just thought you’d like to meet some of my friends that were on my team. They were the best on my team” She points to the guy on her right who was pretty tall and had very smooth looking hair. He had light skin his hair was a very light brown color. “That’s Chris. He’s the guy who surrendered to you after you got me out.” She points to the other guy who looks rather short but looks really fast. He was also dark skinned like Kyle but his hair was shorter. “And that’s EJ. He’s pretty cool. He’s also another guy you got out in the end you caught his ball if I’m right.”

“Oh and I’m not cool?” Chris said looking slightly offended.

“Oh relax Chris, you're cool too. It’s just that EJ is cooler.”

EJ walks over to Zeus and said. “Sup dude nice game. And yes, You caught the ball I threw and got me out.” He puts his hand up in a high five. To which Zeus delivers, they then shook hands.

“So this is that master planner that beat us huh?” Chris said offering his hand out to Zeus to shake which Zeus does.

“Yep. He’s pretty good actually.” Rainbow replied.

“Although I would like to know why you aren’t on any sports team?” EJ inquired

“I just have way too much other stuff to worry about for that.”

“Ah well I’ll see ya around man.” EJ and Chris walk over to where Silver, Michael, John, Mat, and Terriel are talking.

“Nice guy’s aren’t they Zeus? Even if they seem just a bit normal.”

“I wouldn’t count on that Rainbow. For all we know these guys could be what helps save the world in the future.”

Rainbow started at Zeus for a few seconds before replying. “Uh, yeah uh maybe?”

“Oh don’t worry about it Rainbow. I could just be saying nonsense.” Zeus said ribbing Rainbow a bit. “Look we gotta get to lunch, and I gotta find Fluttershy.”

“What for dude?”

“To tell her that I’m really sorry for upsetting her and that I’m really sorry for forgetting to walk her to her class, and that I hope she forgives me.”

“Wow you must really care for her don’t you?”

“Yeah I guess I do.”

“You must like her then right.” Said Rainbow teasingly

“Rainbow come on now, I need to find her.”

“I don’t think you’ll need to Zeus.”

“Oh and why do you say that?”

“Because she’s right here.” Rainbow said. Zeus felt hands hug him from behind. He turned around and saw Fluttershy hugging him pretty close. Zeus just stood there not knowing exactly what to do.

“What are you waiting for man? Hug her back.” Rainbow said encouragingly.

“Oh uh okay then, I’ve just never hugged anyone before.” Zeus then put his arms up and hugged her back.

Then Rainbow started laughing causing Zeus to tense up and let go. Fluttershy also let go as well. Suddenly they both hear a voice come out and say. “Rainbow! Why’d you do that? You ruined a very good moment for them.” They all turned around to see Rarity standing there looking at Rainbow with her hands on her hips. Applejack was also there standing next to Rarity looking at Rainbow with her arms crossed.

Rainbow just stood there looking rather sheepish.

Leaving Rainbow to get fussed at by Rarity and Applejack. Fluttershy then looked up at Zeus and said. “I forgive you Zeus. It’s fine now. Not that I was ever mad at you, I just got confused”

After she said that Zeus seemed to relax a lot then said. “Thanks Fluttershy. I did get worried about that for a moment, now let's step in before those two do something they might regret.”

Fluttershy just giggled and nodded her head.

‘Awwww Zeus is your heart racing?’ Blue said in a mocking voice.

‘Shut it you. I’m just fine.’

‘You know what Blue? I think his heart is racing. It couldn't have anything to deal with Fluttershy could it?’

‘I don’t think so Red it could one of the others I mean he does keep refusing to admit that he has feelings for Fluttershy so it could be one of the others.’

‘Ah yes you may be right about that.’

‘Okay you two stop it. Your lucky I'm in a good mood right now.’

‘Yeah from having Fluttershy accept for apology maybe or….’

That’s it you two be quiet. Zeus commanded this time. They being in his head had no choice but to obey and go silent at least for the time.

“Alright now you two leave her alone.” Zeus said after having a nice conversation in his head.

“But darling she ruined what was supposed to be a very close moment between you two.”

“It’s fine Rarity Fluttershy and I have made up now.”

“Oh have you guys?” They both just nodded to which Rarity gave a squee and said. “See darling I knew that you would have nothing to worry about.”

“That’s great and everything Rarity but I’m pretty sure we’d like to get to lunch now eh? Or at the least you girls would like to.” Zeus said looking around at the girls in front of him.
