The Crimson Phoenix Super Beauty.
After walking a distance, Leo met up with Logan on the road, who couldn't help but stare blankly at him with a completely shocked expression. "Are my eyes playing tricks on me or have you gotten more handsome?" He blurted as he was stunned. Leo shook his head and walked towards him. "Your eyes ain't lying dude." He confirmed for Logan as he patted his shoulder and walked past him. The guy was still shocked and he felt like touching Leo's face but he tried to control himself. "What happened man? You look… beautiful! Jeez, if I were gay, I'd marry you on the spot." Logan blurted. Leo's face contorted and gave Logan a disdainful look before his frown slowly turned into a smile. "You are so weird. Don't make my girlfriend hear you." Leo joked and they both laughed. "But seriously, you look really handsome today. What happened? You weren't this 'charming' yesterday." Logan questioned. Leo smirked. "I think it had something to do with
The Crimson Phoenix Getting Ready.
"Hey Leo, my man… OMG, why the hell do you look so beautiful?!" Mason screamed, through the laptop. Leo set up a meeting between himself and his friends at Sunshine City. He wanted to use this to make up for the time lost when he was busy with his life. "Hey, Mason. What's up, bro?" Leo returned. Mason was still bewildered and didn't reply immediately. Not just him, Tracy and James were in the same situation. "Leo… what did you do to your face? Why are you so handsome… more than I am?" James yelled. Tracy was equally shocked and speechless. "Nothing. I just cultivated, that's all." Leo replied calmly, taking his eyes off the screen. The trio couldn't believe their ears. "Wait, you what!?" They all asked in unison. Leo smiled and shook his head before explaining to them. Logan had given his speculation to Leo and it made extreme sense. Since Phoenixes were also accustomed to beauty, Leo's breakthrough must've triggered some kind of ability that mad
The Crimson Phoenix Negotiation.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, flames began to rise slowly from Leo's body. Surprisingly, they didn't burn his clothes, instead, they fused with them. Logan who was sitting in front of him felt a very warm sensation on his body. He felt slightly energized too and this greatly surprised him. What truly surprised him though, was Leo's look in front of him. "Wow. Is this the power of nirvana, the power of a Phoenix?" He muttered to himself. Leo was unaware of what Logan was saying. He didn't recite his mantra outside this time, but he kept thinking of it inside. He still heard that voice in his head. He chose to ignore it at first, however, curiosity got the better of him and he focused on the voice. To his surprise, the voice didn't disappear. Instead, it got even louder in his head, and his vision changed. Like a dream, he found himself in a strange place. Everything around was completely white and this was against his expectations. He felt like he was floating, as there was no
The Crimson Phoenix Possessed.
In a particular port filled with metal containers of different colours, two silhouettes were constantly clashing together at incredible speeds, and the strength of the two was no joke at all. Containers were constantly being destroyed and flipped over, so was the terrain. Leo wasn't getting any time to rest and he was trying to avoid getting hit by Eric, who possessed combat skills. He was constantly dodging his attacks and redirecting his punches from himself, but that wasn't all he was doing. Leo was also launching attacks of his own but Eric's body was too hard for him to do much damage. BANG! A punch landed on Leo, who blocked it with his arms and was sent flying. He hit a large, cargo container, causing it to get a dent as large as Leo's body. "Ouch. That hurts." Leo rubbed his already healing arms. The pain he felt was bad, but that was slowly passing. "It seems that Eric just has a metal body..." Logan analyzed to Leo through the comms, "And his streng

Leo... or should I say, the possessed Leo's intent to kill spread about the whole place, and Eric frowned badly. He held his daggers firmly, getting ready for any attack. Leo smiled and stared at Eric with burning eyes. "It seems like you humans don't know your place. But not to worry, I'll remind you of where you stand." Leo said and unsheathed his swords, "Prepare to be... DEVOURED!" he exclaimed before lunging himself towards Eric. He was so fast, a bullet would most likely lag if their speeds were to be compared. Eric's eyes were wide open and he quickly brought up his daggers to block the sword coming at him. CLANG! Both weapons clashed and a deafening sound went around the whole place. Eric quickly jumped back but he didn't let his guard down. Leo looked at him and smiled. "Hmm, you were able to withstand that. It seems humans have gotten stronger than ever." He commended. He suddenly squinted his eyes and stared at Eric's curved twin skull daggers and smiled,
The Crimson Phoenix Entering Peak strength.
When Logan urged Leo to get up, Leo used the will to return to his home and his friends... his only family left, to unlock something that remained locked inside his body. He stood upright and then, the lightning striking him no longer harmed him again. His body which was filled with bruises and holes was starting to heal, and webs of lightning moved around his body. However, the color of this lightning was orange. His eyes which were closed suddenly opened, and they were shining brightly, with branches of lightning emerging from the sides occasionally. All the lightning being shot at him was being absorbed and the woman shooting the lightning from the sky got tired so she landed. Leo held his sheathed swords and took a fighting stance. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. This stance he took, was something he saw in an anime. Since he possessed the same power, he wanted to try it out. "Thunder breathing, first form: Thunderclap and flash, Threefold![1]" He yelled and the lig
The Crimson Phoenix Forgiveness.
KRAKAKATOOOM! Like a bullet shot out of a gun, and a sound like the rumbling of thunder, Leo jumped into the sky with his swords in his grip, ready to launch a full attack on Selene. Selene also sped towards Leo without any restraints. BOOM! A large explosion occurred, as the two lightning users clashed. Shockwaves spread around, sending them both flying. Leo was sent flying back to the ground, while Selene was sent flying higher. To outsiders, all they would see was two lightning clashing against each other. Leo tumbled a few times on the ground before maintaining his balance. His flame beasts weren't idle either. The tiger went for Eric, while the dragon launched its attack on Gary. Leo's connection to flames was better than before, so he could control it with just a command and the beasts would work on their own. The only command he gave his two flaming beasts was to enable Eric and Gary unable to fight. The tiger ran towards Eric, who kept swinging his kusarigama a
The Crimson Phoenix Exposed.
Gary was completely stunned. He was clearly expecting death, but he got spared. The view of a giant dragon about to devour him was what broke his will the most. He felt completely powerless and overwhelmed in front of the dragon. "I... just got spared... by a god!?" he muttered to himself. The shirtless and brightly flaming Leo stood in front of Gary and stared at him with a serious face. His aura was overbearing, and a few people would've had the urge to bow to him. Selene and Eric ran to the scene and stood in front of Gary with a fighting stance, ready to defend him against Leo. "Are you alright? How do you feel..." she kept loading Gary with inquiries about his well-being. However, Gary was still staring at Leo with shock and admiration. Selene looked up at Leo and what she felt was confusion at first as to why he wasn't attacking. But then, she began to feel what Gary felt too. Leo looked at them for a while, before facing the direction where the General was. The General ha

The Unsettling Challenge
The match finally came to an end, with Elian Comprehensive high emerging victorious with 73 points while Sky Hills high had 19 points. Alexander was so shaken that he dropped to the ground on his knees when the game ended. They already lost their will to win on the third quarter. All they just wanted to do was to not make the distance in their scores not too wide, so as not to get too embarrassed. Even then, after playing basketball for three years, he has never seen a team with this much understanding and cohesion between them. Their teamwork was just to tight, and their methods were extraordinary. Logan and his team cheered for themselves as they were happy that they won. Well, Leo and the remaining third year students weren’t all too excited, and they maintained their cool head. According to Mrs. Hale, Elian Comprehensive would have no problem against the school’s like Sky Hills High, Bennighton Academy, and St. Peter’s High school, as their team was much more stronger. Eve

A Comeback but Defeat.
The whistle for the third quarter blared and the game began. Throughout the game, Tyler and Jackson had been the ones giving them threats and pressuring them. So it would be normal if the players of Sky Hills high put more effort into restraining these two players. However, they didn't do that. Logan ran towards the hoop and suddenly stopped to give instructions to his teammates, however, he got double-teamed by Harris and Luke. Tyler who had the ball pushed forward and passed to Jackson, who was about to receive the ball but it got stolen by Callum. The latter smiled as he passed Jackson by while performing high bounces as he rushed to the opponent’s hoop. Collins stopped him but the latter had the advantage in speed and agility. Collins was a center, but he wasn’t exactly a weak one. Instead, his agility was just lacking a bit. His strength though, could match that of Alexander. Callum did a crossover dribble and Collins fell for it. Going past Elian Comprehensive high’s line

An idea.
Alexander clenched his fists and grit his teeth as he watched Jackson and his teammates jubilate a little. Just as quick, he calmed down and smiled. “That shall be your last score in this game. I assure you.” He muttered as he received the ball from his teammate, Luke and began pushing forward. It was now their turn to attack. He bounced high repeatedly while running towards the opponent’s hoop but he was just about to get blocked by Tyler. He stopped advancing and began bouncing with his right hand, while holding Tyler back with his left. He used this to buy himself time as he assessed the situation. Too bad, all his teammates were blocked. He saw this as him having no choice but to shoot from where he was. Meanwhile, this was all within Logan’s speculation and he quickly made a quick hand sign to Collins, who nodded and they began moving. Jackson joined the fray too and he took his position three meters in front of Alexander. Logan walked to block Luke, while Collins took his

Starting Game.
Loud cheers could be heard inside the basketball court as fans cheered and cheerleaders danced and did a great performance. The players sat on designated benches and watched the performance. After that, the commentator did a quick review of the teams playing and introduced them. Just after that, the game for the day was to commence. “And finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for, the first match of the Sky City Inter high cup. A game between Sky Hills high school…” he said and the fans shouted at the top of their voices to support the team. At the same time, the players of the team rose to their feet and did a quick meeting among themselves. “…and as for the opposing team, a school located in the middle of Sky City, Elian Comprehensive High school.” The commentator introduced. Leo’s teammates got up from their seats and they did a quick meeting among themselves. “Alright boys. This is the moment. No dawdling, no delays, no bad plays. We’ve train so much for this day, so

Sky City Inter-high cup
Molly drove down to the court and she saw the fully dressed Leo sitting on one of the benches. She was blue to notice the little bruises on his face and she could tell that this wasn’t due to training alone. “Leo, are you alright? You seem injured.” She said as she approached him after parking her car. Leo didn’t say anything to respond as he was deep in thought. If there were people like Mr. Zack in the world who had techniques like that but twisted brains, who knew what would happen to the world. He felt like he was really weak, even when he just thought himself strong. Molly bent beside him and inquired about what was wrong with him but Leo was unresponsive. Molly noticed that she was being ignored but she felt like for Leo to be like that, something must’ve happened to him. Also, she noticed some red points on his body, some of which had cuts and bruises on them. “What happened to to? Who did this to you?” She asked with a concerned tone as she op

A brawl with Mr. Zack
Mr. Zack braced himself for Leo to make a move. His brain was on the game he was supposed to play with him and nothing else. He focused his eyes on Leo and observed his every movement, no matter how little. The latter lifted the ball and Mr. Zack expected him to bounce the ball and come at him. However, what the boy did next shocked him. BOOM! Instead of bouncing the ball, Leo threw it against the iron fence. The force caused a dent on the wall and the ball was stuck on it. Mr. Zack stared at Leo with astonishment. It takes tremendous amount of force to cause a dent so deep on the iron fence. The dent was so deep that the ball got stuck in it. He looked at the ball and then at Leo. “I said… not interested.” Leo said with a deep and threatening voice. Mr. Zack gave a disappointed face and shook his head. “Too bad…” he said and cracked his knuckles. Leo frowned as he sensed a killing intent and he put up a defensive stance. Like as if h

Confrontation.
It was 4 pm and Leo could be seen in a street basketball court. He was panting heavily as he bent slightly and supported his hands on his knees. Sweat was dripping down his body like water. His silky black hair was extremely wet and ran down his face, covering his ears and almost covering his eyes. He caught his breath for a few more minutes before setting all the barriers for himself again and picking up the ball. Leo was training his maneuverability without using his superpowers. He thought that if he could improve as a human, he would exponentially improve with his superpowers too. To do this, he borrowed some traffic cones and barriers from the police station nearby and his school before starting his training. His aunt promised to pick him up when he felt he was done. He arranged the cones in different places and he would do is bounce the ball and go past all those cones and barriers to dunk the ball without touching any of them. Where did he get that idea? It was Mrs. Hale.
- The Crimson Phoenix
Decision.
Leo was pretty much out of ideas for a lie to tell, and Logan? His brain was running fast and he was looking for a lie that she would buy and that wouldn’t embarrass him too much. After waiting but not getting any response from both boys, Mrs. Hale went on with her complaints. “I don’t have any idea what happened to both of you, but I can tell something fishy is going on.” She implied and leaned closer with her elbows resting on the table, “So I’m asking for an explanation from both of you.” She said. Leo’s expression didn’t change and he instead was waiting for Logan to come up with an idea while he would just play along. He looked at his partner and the other side gave him a look that said it all… ‘I have no idea what to say.’ “Umm…” Leo took the initiative to speak, “I was just too angry at the time and I broke down… emotionally.” Leo revealed. His words weren’t the truth… but they couldn’t be considered a lie either. Mrs. Hale shot him a confused glance, “Too angry that you b

Suspects 2.
Walking down the hallway of Elian Comprehensive high, hands in his pocket, head dropped and headphones cupped his ears as he enjoyed the beats of the music he was listening to. Leo was in his own world. He wouldn’t bother about anyone around him, and the only thing he would think about were his thoughts. And this was just the right moment for him to be lost in thought. He got to where his locker was, am”ng the line of lockers, and opened it before grabbing a few notebooks and closing it back. However, before he closed it, he sighed. “Do you really have to do this all the time?” He asked as he rolled his eyes and closed the locker door, which revealed the glum-looking Logan behind it. He had sensed that his friend was there. “Why the long face?” He inquired again. Logan who leaned against the lockers with his arms folded stood normally and turned to walk the other way. “We lost the game.” He said. Leo quickly used his padlock to lock his locker before catching up with his friend
