yay now is fighty time [video]

[He almost doesn't want to make the stupid video but he knows that, as much as he wants to, he can't just hide away until the next mission, ninja in, and start doing...whatever. Hero stuff. Whatever it is that heroes do.]

[God, he's done it this time, hasn't he? Gotten into yet more hero crap, and he doesn't even know these assholes. At least back home, he and the other Remedial kids are friends now. Sure, he's hoping to eventually use them in his whole quest for vengeance, but at this point, they'd probably help out with that willingly.]

[Now he's got to make nicey nice with a bunch of strangers, when it was already hard enough to do it the first time. And apparently he's not allowed to kill anybody if he joins up with their outfit. The only way to really face this threat to all their worlds is with this stupid team, and that means he's got to follow their stupid rules.]

[So it's a very cranky ninja that appears on screen. His face is cowled; the small bit of skin that's visible is a bright blue. Two pointy white horns jut out from the sides of his forehead, and his eyes glow with a menacing orange glow. Even though his face is cowled, the way his eyes are crinkled up make it clear he's scowling under there.]

[When he speaks, his voice is low and raspy. He sounds like the teenage boy he is, but definitely the kind of teenage boy that smokes six packs a day. Also the Joisey accent is pretty unmistakable.]

'Sup, losers. My name's Kyou Tanaka. I've been told there's some kind of cosmic whatever we've gotta stab repeatedly in the face.

Which is a good thing because apparently the morons in charge of this outfit won't let us stab anything else in the face.

So you're going to not be seeing me hanging around a lot. I say "not" on account of, y'know, ninja. But on the off chance you ever do see me, like when I move in for the ki - uh, punching, for the punching - don't shoot me or blow me up with butt lasers or anything. I can heal from it, but seeing as most of you can't heal when I inevitably throw a shuriken in your eye on sheer reflex, you should probably save us both the trouble.

[He pauses. Shit, what else is he supposed to say?]

I guess I'm supposed to tell you my "superhero" name. [Quotey fingers. He only has four fingers on each hand.] It's Murderizer McKillinstuff.

[Another pause.]

Just because I'm following your stupid no-killing rules doesn't mean I have to like it.

[ Ninja filled with anger and rage. Where has Zenyatta seen this before? It's so familiar. ]

Hello, Murderizer McKillinstuff.

Should I announce my presence when I approach you? I do not have footsteps, and sometimes I startle people. It has led to a blade at my throat before.

[ For the record, Zenyatta does know sarcasm and doesn't truly believe that to be his name. It doesn't stop him from poking a little fun at the obvious joke of a hero name. ]

Probably. I'm going to try to lay off the stabby stab, but people sneak up and try to kill me all the time, so it's pretty much reflex. I can work on that so I don't do it to people, but it's probably safer for everyone if they try not to surprise me.

[It definitely says something about his life that his reflexes are so heavily honed to deal with people trying to stab him in the back, and while those reflexes aren't impossible to curb, he'd just rather not have to do that thing where he reflexively attacks and has to stop himself at the last second. It tends to freak people out. (Understandably.)]

How come you don't have footsteps? [Kyou doesn't, but that's all training.] You're a robot, right? Do you have like a built-in jetpack or something?

[He's not exactly sociable, but this place and the people in it are kinda sorta interesting, just like the Academy of Evil had been different and interesting compared to the clan's compound.]

I understand. For my student, it was a reflex as well, but eventually he was able to tell when I was coming towards him... as long as he was not too absorbed in something else.

[ Zenyatta chuckles lightly. It became a game at times, the both of them trying to sneak up on the other. ]

I hover, so that is why I lack footsteps. You could say that it is related to my power. Though a jetpack would make me much faster. Maybe my ring will be able to do the same.

Would you prefer for me to use Murderizer, McKillingstuff, or your full name when I call out to you?

[It's weird meeting someone that has the consideration to ask him how he wants to be referred to. After all, Red Fang entered his name onto the school roster wrong just to be a dick. So now he's got other kids calling him Ninja Kyle, because "Kyle" is what he put in instead of his real name, and there's already Tall Kyle, Short Kyle, Regular Sized Kyle, and Cool Kyle.]

Kyou is fine.

What kind of power just automatically makes you hover?

[orbislife]

[ Kyou better get used to someone having his best interests in mind and unrelenting kindness towards him. Zen is going to do that. ]

Kyou then. You may call me Zenyatta. I do not have a hero name yet.

[ He was not as creative as Kyou was. ]

My power is the omnic energy I can channel through my orbs and myself allows me to hover. However, it is not automatic. I had to practice the skill for a long time and must maintain my focus while doing so.

[letsgohurtpeople]

Yeah, that makes total sense.

...or it would if I knew what "omnic" even means.

[He could just politely ask what it means instead of getting all rude about it. He doesn't, naturally.]

[orbislife]

It is what I am. If it is easier, you may call me a robot.

[ He doesn't bat an eye at the rudeness. (Even if he doesn't exactly have the right type of eyes to do that.) ]
