Braedey Martin: Robots and a Vampire

The Snow Girl; Loneliness lifted by an Angel

(Boys Dorm)
(Braedey's Room)

Braedey would never admit that he'd been scared before in his life. But, there were those times when he'd been absolutely terrified. Like, when he faced Unicron for instance; if there was one thing that scared him, it was mutant Predacons. That had been scary. But, like any other hero, he faced his fears and saved the day. But, he was a little scared whenever he was late for school, which was why he was in so much of a hurry to get ready for school.

"My tie! Where's my tie!?" Braedey panicked, as he slipped on his jacket while looking around frantically. His hair was a mess and his shirt was not tucked in and wrinkly. "Oh, found it!" He sighed in relief. He then stared at the clock. "No, I'm late! Ms. Nekonome is SO gonna kill me! Or worse: use me as a scratching post! I hope it's not the latter, and that she just kills me."

It had been awhile since Braedey had come to attend Youkai Academy on a special exchange program. Finding out it was a school of monsters didn't surprise him. He himself had faced various beasts, like Unicron as well as a myriad of villains, both from Earth and beyond Earth. He still came up on top... with a little help from Jessie and Jackson.

They must miss having him around...

Braedey didn't have time to reminisce when he realized he only had 5 minutes before the bell rang. So, after setting the Transformatrix to the alien he wanted to become, he slammed down his hand and in a flash of blue light he'd changed. "Blurr!" He called before he ran out of his dorm room in a blur. He then came back. "Almost forgot!" He picked up his bag. "Now I'm set!" He then rushed right towards school and made it to the gate with only a minute to spare. He reverted back to normal and with a sigh walked towards the main building.

Braedey suddenly shivered and sneezed. "A draft?" He asked himself, as he rubbed his nose. He shrugged and then headed to the school, hoping to meet his friends. Nobody at home would believe his luck with girls here. Jessie wouldn't have believed it with her own eyes. And if those bullies saw him, they'd be envy with greed, much like the other guys on the Academy campus.

Speaking of 'luck with girls', a shadowed cute girl in a sweater and purple striped stockings with long purple hair peered at Braedey from behind a tree and uttered, "Braedey..." she whispered, as she smiled wistfully before retreating.

(Afterwards that Day)

Braedey scratched his head as he walked out of the school building. He was actually relieved when he finally remembered that he'd purposely put his alarm clock 10 minutes early, so he was actually early and not late. It had taken some time, effort, and one sleepless night, but the newest edition of the Youkai Academy school newspaper was ready to be distributed tomorrow. The actual handouts would be during the next day. Braedey was just glad that the work was over and he could take a break from it for a moment.

The Newspaper club had been sending out editions since Gin managed to stay behaved. Having his butt handed to him by Braedey and several VERY pissed off girls finishing the job helped changed his attitude. With everyone on board, the Newspaper Club managed to start actually making newspapers, much to Ms. Nekonome's delight.

"Well, hopefully we'll do as well as we did before." Braedey sighed to himself. Truthfully, he knew why they sold so many papers. Most of their customers were boys who wanted to talk to Moka or Kurumu. Chief among them were the three fanboys of doom.

Snapping out of his thought, Braedey felt a chill run down his spine. Looking around, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Deciding to ignore it, Braedey rubbed his arms to try and get some warmth on them.
