LOTC : Episode 2 - Dawn of the Titans

After their first battle, our heroes now went their separate ways.

"Eh, today weather damn good lor, go swim leh." James suggested.

"But I dun wanna show off my *ahem fats." Ben squirmed.

"We go lar, you dun go. Hanwei, you on or not?" Yuxin decided.

"Ya, we go back hall get stuff then meet at swimming pool."

With that, the group of them went off in their separate ways.

At the swimming pool, the sun was up and the weather was perfect for a swim. Yuxin, Hanwei and James quickly got into their swimming attire and dived right into the pool. (Unlike normal people who would usually swim around, they just stood there at the side of the pool to enjoy the water.)

"Shiok!" the three of them exclaimed together. But that was excatly how it was like, nothing to bother them, or so they thought. It was not long before Yuxin noticed a familiar face from the corner of his eye.

"Isn't that Tim Tan?" They all turned to see and true enough, it was Tim Tan walking through the gates into the swimming pool. He was looking under his shirt as if to check if something was missing and then he flexed his arms (for whatever reason we will explain shortly.)

"Bet he's checking to see if his abs were still there." Laughed James.

"And also to see if his arm muscles have shrunk already or not." Yuxin added. But it was within seconds of their comments, Tim Tan suddenly stormed out of the toilet in his swimming attire, bearing his muscled chests and weird looking sic pack all covered in a thin layer of hair(it's true).

"Woah... Tim Tan really does have sic pack." Exclaimed James.

"Don't think I couldn't hear what you all said about me just now about checking on my muscles, what I do does not concern you undergraduates at all. Let me teach you a lesson on how to respect your educators." Tim Tan proclaimed. He turned around and picked up a wooden bench and hurled it at the three of them. They immediately went underwater to take cover. The wooden bench hit the water with such force that they could feel the shockwaves evidently through the water.

When they resurfaced, they saw a lifeguard arguing with Tim Tan about how this was a public area and how he was making a scene. Tim Tan, filled with rage, picked the lifeguard up from the front in one hand by his throat, then threw him against the gate where he immediately lost consciousness. Yuxin, Hanwei and James immediately got out of the pool on the side away from Tim Tan.

"Shit, our weapons and stuff are in our bags and our bags are at the locker area behind Tim Tan. How?" Yuxin said frantically.

"We will manage somehow, don't worry. We just have to stall for some time and come up with a plan." As he said that, Hanwei looked around for any items or things that could be used to defend themselves. However, the chaos wasn't helping in the process at all. All the people at the pool were running out of the pool area frantically.

"Eh, isn't that.... IVAN! Help us get our stuff from the locker room area!" Yelled Hanwei as he noticed Ivan running out of the pool area. It seemed like Ivan didn't hear them or he just pretended not to hear them as he hurriedly left the compounds of the pool area. "Shit, what a useless piece of shit."

"Now what?" Yuxin asked, now more stressed than before.

Hanwei then signaled to the two of them as he noticed that the fence was quite low on the other side of the pool compound. Without hesitation, they quickly dashed towards it. As they were doing so, the earth started to shake beneath them, when they looked around, they saw Tim Tan dashing towards that very same area, twice as fast as them. He blocked their way out and let out an evil laugh, "Buahahahha! there is no way that you can escape, I will have to educate you undergraduates before letting you leave here."

"Yuxin! Now!" Hanwei shouted. Yuxin then jumped to the pool side, scooped up a handful of water and put in into his hair. His hair suddenly became alive and grew to an amazing length then flew towards the baggage area.

"That is not going to work." Tim Tan then picked up a plastic chair beside him and threw in into the path of Yuxin's hair. Tim Tan then picked up another chair and threw it towards our heroes. Yuxin quickly swung his head and used his hair to hit the chair aside. He then swung his head forward and his hair flew towards Tim Tan.

"Yeah! Get him!" James shouted. Yuxin's hair went straight towards Tim Tan and stopped as it hit him. Stunned, James exclaimed, "What the hell!? How come nothing happened?!"

"You think that can hurt me? My powers are that of a Titan, my body is as hard as steel and my strength is equal to that of a hundred men. There is no way that that kind of weak attack can hurt me." Laughed Tim Tan. (Note: We are not saying that Yuxin's attack is weak, it's just that his hair would be a hell lot more stronger if he had used his normal hair gel but since it got washed away when he got into the pool, the water he used was a substitute for the hair gel and hence the reason for his weakened powers.)

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA............" As a familiar laughter rang through the air. Tim Tan suddenly couldn't help himself but join in and laughed so hard he fell onto the ground. Our heroes also fell under the laughter spell and rolled around on the ground laughing. "Crap, stomach pain." As the laughter stopped, they all looked up to see Belle at the entrance of the pool. "Take that Tim Tan! That was my power! Contagious laughter!"

Together with Belle was Adeline. They hurried over to Yuxin, Hanwei and James. "Sorry, you all were in my line of fire." Belle apologized.

"Here are your stuff, take them quickly." Adeline said as she passed them their stuff. (Yuxin did not need anything so he just scooped up more water and put it on his hair.)

"Quickly, get behind me, I'm going to make sure that Tim Tan laughs till he cannot stand up again." Belle said as she positioned herself in front of everyone and let out her Contagious Laughter once again. This time, Tim Tan was prepared. He quickly punched the ground once to send a shockwave through the ground which made all of them lose their balance and threw another punch into the water which created a huge water wave that swept our heroes back. Yuxin immediately flung his head back as his hair grew and engulfed the five of them and acted as a cushion to cushion the impact.

"The same trick isn't going to work on me twice." Bellowed Tim Tan. With that, Tim Tan dashed forward. James quickly drew out a pack of cigarettes and lit them. (Note: He lit them on the filter end) The ciggarettes flew out of his hands like missiles and bombarded Tim Tan. Hanwei added onto the barrage with his Orange Mechanical Pencil Fury. (lots of Orange Mechanical Pencils Flying towards the opponent)

Tim Tan had no choice but to stop and defend from the barrage of attacks.

"Eh, Adeline, don't just stand there, do something!" James yelled.

"Eh, Adeline, don't just stand there, do something!" Adeline copied. (with a very qian bain voice)

"What the hell, useless leh you!"

"What the hell, useless leh you!" Adeline copied James. (in an even more qian bian voice)

"She copies nearly everything, don't bother about her. We need to get out of here as soon as we can." Hanwei exclaimed. "Belle, get ready to laugh, James, we need a smoke out." Belle jumped in, "Super duper contagious laughter!" Then she started laughing out lout. (Note: Belle's powers act in one direction only, people behind her do not get affected) Without time to react, Tim Tan was caught and ended up a fit of laughter.

"Time to sio honkee.... Smoke Out (similar to a smoke bomb)" James then lit a ciggarette (on the correct side this time) and took a huge puff. When he exhaled, a large cloud of smoke covered Tim Tan. Taking this opportunity, our heroes picked up their stuff and ran out of the pool compound, leaving Tim Tan bellowing in rage.

-End of Episode 2 - Dawn of the Titans-







Additional ending:

As our heroes were leaving the pool compound, an exam had just ended and people were streaming out of the SRC examination halls. The girls saw a topless Hanwei and all screamed, "Hanshen! Wo men ai ni!" The girls started to dash out towards Hanwei and it looked like Hanwei was going to be crushed under a stampead of wild females.

Suddenly, a loud screech was heard. "ARRRRRRRRRR! Pervert!!!!!!!" Just then, all the attention fell onto Yuxin who was still in his swimming trunks. All the girls screamed as they ran away as fast as they could.

LOTC : Episode 1 - Thunderstorm!

This story begins in NTU, a place filled with people possessing special gifts and powers....

"Thunderstorm!"

"siao eh! Not going for lecture ar?" Yuxin yelled out to James who was still in bed sleeping.

"Dun wan lar, damn tired and go also no use, don't listen in lecture also and never learn anything."

"James..... Go leh...... " Adeline suddenly came out of nowhere and decided to 'hit' on James. Immediately, James woke up, slammed the door, got dressed and ran to lecture, "you dun disturb me I go for lecture!" he yelled back at Adeline. Seeing this, Adeline just stomped her foot in anger and ran after James.

Maths lecture never seemed so dry, especially with Leiyu lecturing. With the lack of sleep, James and Yuxin's reserves were running on low and it was not long before they could not take it and fell asleep on the table. Everyone was minding their own business when suddenly, the lecture theatre started to fill up with clouds, thunder and lightning bolted through the lecture theatre and everyone was taken aback. Without thinking, all the CBE students packed up their stuff and hurriedly left the lecture theatre fearing for their own safety.

There were a few others left behind, Ben and Belle who were desperately trying to wake Yuxin up and Hanwei and Adeline who were kicking James to wake him up. However, their efforts were to no avail as they fail in their attempts miserably. The thunderstorm in the lecture theatre started to get worse and without thinking, they decided to carry Yuxin and James out of the lecture theatre.

Just before they reached the exit, a huge lightning bolt struck in front of them blocking their path. They jumped back and looked around and wondered who else was still in the lecture theatre. Then they saw him... Leiyu was standing in the middle of the lecture theatre with clouds fuming out of this body.

"You are not leaving here alive! Dare to sleep in my lecture! You shall pay!!" Bellowed Leiyu. Hanwei, Ben, Belle and Adeline looked at each other and knew they had no choice but to face off with Leiyu.

"Belle, you take care of Yuxin and James and try to wake them up. Those idiots, can never wake up one." After telling Belle that, Ben took a step forward to prepare for battle, Hanwei and Adeline both also prepared for battle.

Without warning, Leiyu's hair, from it's usual gelled side parting style exploded and a huge bolt of thunder shot down from the clouds above. Instinctively, the three of them dodged. At the same time, Hanwei took out his orange mechanical pencils and threw them at Leiyu. Leiyu laughed as another bolt of thunder shot down and vaporized the orange mechanical pencils in mid air.

"You think those puny things can hurt me?! Think again! Take...." But before he could finish his sentence, a huge wave of hair flew towards him and knocked him down.

"Heh! Take that! My hairy special!" Ben laughed. Leiyu stumbled but managed to get back on his feet. "YOU!!! You think that that was all I had?!" Leiyu then lifted up his hands and rain started to fall. It started to rain so heavily that it was getting harder to see and move.

"Thunder!" As Leiyu's voice echoed through the lecture theatre, a bolt of thunder shot down from the clouds above and went straight for Ben.

"Orange Mechanical Pencil Shield!" and an shield made up of orange mechanical pencils appeared in front of Ben and deflected the Thunder bolts just a split second before it could hit him.

"Thanks Hanwei. Let's show this guy what we can really do."

"Yeah... Let's go! Ben, Adeline, you know what to do right." The three of them looked at each other and understood immediately. Without another second of thought, Hanwei drew out as many Orange Mechanical Pencils as his hands could go and threw them into the air. "Orange Mechanical Pencil Barrage!"

"HA! That is not going to work on me! Thunderflash!" And a huge bolt of thunder blocked the path of the Orange Mechanical Pencils. But before he could even notice, Leiyu suddenly felt something creepy covering him. "Hair Bind!" As Ben's leg hair was now all over Leiyu and encased him in a cacoon.

"You! You will pay for this! Thun...."

"Thunderflash!" Yelled Adeline from across the lecture theatre. And a huge bolt of thunder shot down from the clouds above and hit Leiyu. A deafening cry was let out by Leiyu as the thunder hit him. Ben's hair cacoon was immediately burnt to a crisp and Leiyu was down on his knees in seconds.

"How.... how did you...." Leiyu looked at Adeline in disbelief as she had used his spell on him.

"I have the power to copy any spell so long as you say it out." Laughed Adeline.

"But this is not the end! It is about time I show you my ultimate spell... You wouldn't even be able to copy it as you will be dead once you see it." A weird yellow aura suddenly began to engulf Leiyu. Sensing the danger, Hanwei signalled to the rest of them to get behind him as he started to create a new Orange Mechanical Pencil Shield.

Without warning, one of the lecture theatre doors flew open.... It was Amanda! Warp holes started to engulf the whole lecture theatre. Seeing that this was their chance to escape, they picked up James and Yuxin and jumped into one warp hole together. From behind them, all they could hear was Leiyu's rage.

It was not long before the appeared on the otherside of the warphole and they were at the SRC.

"Thank god that Amanda appeared late, I mean on time."

"Yah, her Time Warp ability saved us this time." Adeline replied to Ben.

"But somehow I don't think she knows how to control her power yet as she always ends up using it on herself unknowingly and hence getting herself late for everything even though she was meant to be early." Commented Hanwei.

"Ya"
