The Crimson Phoenix Possessed 2
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 Crimson Phoenix Explanation.
In a black Range Rover, Leo laid down on the back seat while Dr. Cartel drove both him and Logan home. He was extremely exhausted, as that last attack and intimidation took a lot of his energy. He was fast asleep, and he even snored loudly. Dr. Cartel looked at Leo and smiled, "You've got a priceless friend here Logan." he said. Logan gave a relieved smile. He couldn't get the image of Leo killing a military General out of his head. "Good thing he's on our side." Logan sighed. The doctor nodded and faced the road ahead of him. He began to think of the consequences of Leo's actions. Killing a military General was one thing, declaring that all deals made be cut off was another. However, he couldn't blame the kid. He was wondering whether the military might cover for Leo. If Leo got exposed, things wouldn't turn out the way they should, and his life could take a drastic turn. Dr. Cartel wouldn't be spared either. Dr. Cartel parked the vehicle carefully in front of Leo's hou
The Crimson Phoenix Battle of Demigods.
"Yaaaawww!" Leo yawned lazily as he stretched on his bed. He finally opened his eyes and looked at his clock. But what he saw was completely out of his expectations. "Oh shit! It's already ten in the morning?!" He jolted up and went straight to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and took his bath at once. Heahead already been late to school before... but never this late. He was partly annoyed at his aunt. "Why didn't she wake me up?! I need to go to school!" he scolded. He quickly washed up and cleaned his body. He didn't even bother selecting his books and he just packed his bags and ran straight out of the room. His aunt had already prepared his food and put it in the fridge for him to just pick up and microwave. Leo would've ignored it and gone to school without eating breakfast, but he was just too famished this particular morning. He opened the fridge and found his food nicely packed in a plastic container. He took it out and checked it and what he saw, put a smile on his fa
The Crimson Phoenix Suspicion.
Opening the door to the basketball court, Leo and Logan walked in with their shorts and tank top on, ready for another training. The place was a bit noisy at first, but their entrance silenced it all. Specifically, Leo's entrance silenced it. Everyone in the quote began to murmur and take glances at him. Leo and Logan looked around the spectator stand and it felt like being surrounded by enemies. Leo frowned but decided to act like he didn't know what was going on. "What are you all looking at?" he asked. Everyone quickly went back to their business, but still talked about him. He shook his head and sighed through his face mask and they both walked to Coach Emily who seemed to be writing something down in a handbook. "Hello, Coach." Leo greeted. Mrs. Hale glanced at him and didn't take her eyes off him. There were signs of wrinkles on her forehead, showing she was frowning, not out of anger, but slight suspicion. Leo didn't mind this and just stared her in the eye. Seeing Leo also
The Crimson Phoenix Teaching a Lesson.
On a Saturday afternoon, in a basketball court on the street, four boys were standing there with their jersies. Three of them were facing the one with the ball, who seemed to be standing in front of the basketball hoop. "Can I ask why we're not using the school's basketball court?" one of them asked. The one facing all three boys smiled and replied him. "We don't need spectators. Flashy moves calls for lots of attention." he said. He was naturally Leo. The three boys in front of him were Quincy, Tyler, and Logan. Saturday was designated as a day off from training. That was the coach's order... or it was mainly because the rate of students passing out in her training started increasing. Some students even suggested she add Friday as day off too, but that was them stepping on her bottom line. She outrightly refused them. "So... how are we gonna start?" Quincy asked. Leo smiled and bounced the ball a few times as he paced to and fro. "This training is mainly going to be based on y

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
