"Man I wish we could participate." Michael said with a complaint as they made their way to the stands. "I get why, but like, I know how to control myself. I wouldn't go too far with it." It was a remnant of his eternally competitive sports player that he had to give up once he got Superpowers; Michael might have liked being a Superhero, he might have liked Claremont, he might had had grand ideas for who he was going to be, but he had also really liked being great at sports. So whenever he saw something like this, he was prone to getting a little sour.

 

When the Black Knight made an impressive swing and defeated another challenger, raising his sword high for the approval of the crowd, Michael blanched a little.

 

"I wonder if he has powers. Probably not, I guess. Still, he does seem pretty good at the acting and the fighting both. Maybe there's something to learn from watching him play to the crowd." he said, trying to come up with a positive spin on the situation. 

 

"You don't have to be a squire, Parker! You can be Sir Percival, the most noble and well mannered of all the Knights!"

"That Black Knight is cool, right?" said Baz. "I mean, you have to admire his huge weapon...!"

 

The air hung still, and Baltazar's antannae glowed. 

 

"I mean, yes... its a very large sword. That's what I meant!" he added. 

 

He cast his insectoid around for other contestants. "But why don't we have any kung-fu knights? I mean, didn't they have kung-fu in medieval europe?"
 

Baltazar did not have much of an education, but he did know his old kung fu films. 

 

"Anyway I am sure we could beat them all, even without powers! I mean, all you have to do is wiggle a sword around a bit... hi-yaaa! hi-yaaaa!" he proclaimed, miming some swordwork that simultaenously appeared to be both flashy and ineffective.

The Claremont students had just settled in to watching the sparing exhibition, Parker felt a slight feeling off in the distance that reminded him of Lawerence using his powers. But even as he turned toward the direction of the town square, he was barely able to pick up something else, a human sized figure streaking through the air, coming down in the middle of the sparing expedition.

 

The other teens saw something drop down from the sky, landing between the Black Knight and his opponent. Then the two armored men were sent flying through the air, crashing to the ground over a dozen feet away. Standing where they had been sparing was a short young woman with long blonde hair tied in a braid. She was dressed in bell-bottom jeans and a white tunic, a white lily in her braided hair.

 

Looking around at the other armored and armed men that were part of the exhibition, she called out. "Tools of the oppressive patriarchy! You want to fight, come fight me!"
