Garett started by going over the ground rules for the approach into the area that they would be searching for the Illegal Superhuman.

According to him, apparently this Superhuman was responsible for a number of thefts in the area, thefts that could only either be performed by a rogue android, or a Superhuman. Unless a Mutant had made it into the walls of El Dorado.

And of course, ground rules were laid down.. observation only, no interfering with the man on the job. Etc, etc.. of course..

It made Narina wonder what the point was of wearing their Combat Suits.

"The first job of the year is always an observation only, to give new students a chance to learn before the next job puts them in danger." said Greg when Narina muttered something about this. "don't worry, you'll get your chance to shine."

"What's that by the way?" Narina asked, pointing at the large statue of the serpent in the room. "It looks beautiful."

Garett grinned as he heard Narina's question. "Ahh.. hey girl, you've got a nice eye. That is the Aztec God of Wind known as Quetzalcoatl. He's called the Feathered Serpent. Rumor is in recent years that the old spirit's been spotted flying around El Dorado. Of course, it's just an urban legend.. "

"Wait.. so you're saying.. that a giant snake with feathers is flying around the place.. like.. A DRAGON!?" Narina's eyes sparkled enthusiastically.

"Well, I guess you could say that, but it's just an urban legend." said Garett.

"I WANNA CATCH IT AND MAKE IT MY PET!" Narina exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "Somebody get me a net!!"

"Well, I don't think any of us actually bought a-" Zanna began.

"Here you go." said Nue, seemingly pulling a giant butterfly net out of nowhere and handing it to Narina.

"Oh.. well.. I stand corrected." said Zanna.

"Me and Stoor once had a dream when we were five!" Narina cried out. "We wanted to have a pet dragon!! Stoor!! I SHALL HONOR THAT DREAM!! Then, I will bake the dragon cake and feed it!! Teeheeheeheehee!!"

"You're amazingly enthusiastic about this." said Nue. "Mmmm..?"

"WELL WHO DOESN'T WANT A DRAGON FOR A PET!?" Narina exclaimed.

"Mmmm.. I'd like to see how the dragon smells first.." Nue said.

"I wanna chop it up and see if it'll make good Dragon Meat soup!!" said Bella, rubbing her hands together.

"You're just terrifying sometimes." Narina muttered, eying her android nervously.

"Nobody's going to catch anything." said Friz. "We're here to observe a member of the Powers Society in action.

A ringing sound came from Garett's pocket. He picked up what appeared to be a holophone. "What's up Linda?"

"Garett! There's a robbery in progress at the south end! Get your butt over here quick! I think it might be the Superhuman!"

"Noted!" said Garett. "Hey kiddies, looks like we've got one in progress! Saddle up and get ready to rock!!"

Garett ran out of the building accompanied by the class. Outside there were a number of hovering Police Ships with open doors.

Police ships by far, were Spherical black vehicles with a shield shaped window, mounted guns, and a set of red and blue lights on the top. The King's logo was on the side.

"Pick a car all of you! An officer will drive you to a safe observable distance from the scene!" Garett yelled, as he jumped into a car and started the engine.
