Kai whipped his tail. She jumped back. Before she could strum her next string, he spat fire. She rolled on the ground and ducked to a stone. Kai spat water on the blazing stone. It cracked into pieces. She ran out and strung the string. A note shot through. A fire shield appeared in front of his scaly face. He swiped his front claw, sending a set of crossed fire swipes.
Her tails converged on her whole body. She shrunk into a ball and avoided the blow. Kai’s eyes gleamed, he rushed and swung his claws down; she rolled out of his attack and popped behind a tree.
“AHHH!! Stop running!” Kai growled. He stamped his paw. Fire sprouted off the ground, blowing her off her balance, throwing her weapon away. Kai grinned and dashed to block her path.
Draven commented. “Good play!” Kai inflamed his body and spat fire around them, strengthened himself in the heat. Tasha pan
His footsteps echoed against the tiled corridor as he sauntered with a swag, slinging a bag over his shoulder. He paused his steps and turned to the clusters of posters stuck on the walls. His expression became perplexed, as he ripped one to his eyes. He smashed it into a ball and tossed it behind. ‘What an idiot! He even advertised himself!’ he thought, and walked to his locker undetected, while the students chatted. Suddenly they shouted “Hey, it's Osborne” and rushed to meet him. As he strolled through the corridor with an annoying smirk and his posy, which seemed bigger than last time. Draven scrunched his eyes and noticed each one of them was sporting a letter jacket in the school colours. Draven clicked his tongue, said to himself “Like as if he is a big deal” Students greeted him with a high five. Draven’s ears pricked at their conversation. “Hey, Osborne, are you going to win agai
Leaning his head on his palm, supporting it against the window frame, as he looked at the scenery outside, as the hover vehicle descended to a stop.“Warning: Entering private property.” the A.I said, flashing letters on the screen.“Civilians prohibited, please show the identity and status.”He sighed and flashed his com against the scanner.After processing the information, the A.I driver said. “Apologies Mr. Castel, but your current identity doesn’t have enough clearance to move further”Draven grunted. “Fine, I will get off here then”“Okay. It will be 158 credits sir”The corners of his mouth twitched with complaints but soon sighed and swiped his com against the scanner and pai
With servants by his side, he brisked up the stairs. A white limousine descended onto the pad fixed to the roof. Alister stood with a pleasant smile while a middle-aged man stepped down, carrying a briefcase on his right. The guards bowed to their master, Alister lowered his back, a pair of Italian leather walked to his sight. Alister smiled and straightened his back.“Hello, father”“Hello son” thick brows settled on his wide forehead, lined with years of stress as the head of the Leroux family. “How is Natalia?”Under the guise of a sweet smile, Alister gritted his teeth. ‘Why? She is just a brat? A thief!’Alister said “Oh, Natalia… she is fine”His father asked, “Hmm, where is she?” he glanced around, hoping to find
Meanwhile, Alister pushed the door and led Draven up the stairs."Where are you taking me?"He paused his steps and tilted his head back. "Don't you want to visit her?""I do"Alister continued walking to the left side of the corridor.His forehead scrunched. Draven asked, "Shouldn't her room be there?" pointing his hand to the other side.Alister chuckled. "No, she shifted her room. Let me show you where it is?""Okay"Vernon whispered in his head. "Don't you think something is off about him?"Draven replied. "I know, it's weird""But he was always weird"Alister pressed his hand on the handle and parted the door. "Come in""She isn't here?" He stepped before her room,
"You did?"Alister hid his expression behind his fan, said "Yes, I am... His tutor"Draven blurted, "My tutor?"Alister said. "Yes, I heard he needed help, so I stepped up""I need help?" Draven blinked his eyes.Alister shook his head. "See, look at that dumb look on his face. He clearly needs help"Natalia found him fishy and quizzed him. "Really? Why would you help him?""I want to do something good""You of all people?" Natalia frowned. "You are the last person I ever expected to think about someone else other than yourself"Alister chuckled under a fist. "Little sister, I am full of surprises""But don't you hate him?""No, I don't. The only reason I was mean before..." He glanced at his fa
"If you want, say please"Draven snorted "That's easy"Alister grinned. "with a cute puppy look""What?" Draven frowned and scooted further from him. "Then, I don't want"Holding the chip before Draven, Alister said "Why not?" and scooted closer. "I know you want one"Draven turned his gaze to the screen, thought. 'Of course I want, those are my favorite! But I have to be careful, what if he is trying to prank me'"Alright, fine. Can you at least say please?"Draven grunted. "Fine""And I don't want a half hearted one"Draven mocked him in his head, and with a pleasant smile, he said "Please"In the second, Alister's grin spread wide, he tucked a de
She swung her mace and stuck Draven's defence as he crashed into the walls. While falling from the building, Draven thought ‘Man, is it just me or why do I fell everyone is stronger…’ Draven tilted his body straight and fire boosted from his soles and levitated before the ground. Getting the chill, Draven jumped and rolled on the grass. Natalia crashed on his spot, with a mace double her size, splitting the soil into the air. Draven coughed as he picked himself up. “How? How could you…” Her rage spoke through the subsiding dust cloud. Her flame blazed over her bloodshot eyes. His eyelids shivered; Draven stumbled backwards. “Nat wait! Nat, I can explain” "What is there to explain? You slept with…" she stamped her foot; the fire swirled around her body and shot a mini fire tornado from her arms. Draven jum
Draven lifted his sword. Fire swirled from the tip down to the ankles of his feet. It blazed and a thin sheet of armour formed above his skin and clothes, except for his head. She growled and shot her stretchy arms across. Draven tilted his blade and blocked the incoming attack. He side-stepped and jumped as a hand reached for his foot.He materialized a wall, delaying her next attack. Ropes of fire bounded her feet and tripped her. Under his manipulation, thousands of threads sprouted out of the ground and strapped around her waist, arms and legs. She snared, wiggling her body, breaking few strands. Another formed and replaced the old ones. Lava congealed around her and she burst out and grabbed him by the throat. Draven teleported and his brows creased with disappointment. 'Is there any shame in taking a tactical run?' he made a run.He yawned under a palm, while he watched his daughter chase Draven with a brutal
"Those bastards" swiftly he paced himself forward, fluttering his lab coat with a fierce air. The operators paused their work and made way for him while the supervisor and the captain argued. Luis stood before them with a stern face. "Ahem" He turned to Luis with a wry smile, said. "Ah, Professor" "What are you two doing? Get back to your duties. I will handle this," Luis said, and stepped in front of the controls. "Yes." The supervisor pecked his head like a hen as he retreated. "Capt. Davis, activate the defence mechanism, A-103 and code P456" "Yes, Sir" Capt. Davis said. He pulled a slide from control panel and twisted it before he punched it in. A teal light beamed around the borders. "Defence activated" While on the outside, a transparent membrane shot from thefrontof ship and converged to the end, pushing the nearby rocks away. Luis hands typed codes on screen and slammed
On a funnel of space and light creates a wondrous image, as millions and millions of extra-terrestrial bodies compete, pushing themselves past the obscurity of the distance and the darkness of the space. In a void, a silver blimp flashed through the cluster of rocks. Cannons on the sides rotated and fired. Thousands of rays converged and struck the ginormous space rock. It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one. " A finger flicked the photo across the holographic screen to the next one. Pride refracted in his jay-blues while he appraised the moment. He hummed in remembrance. A crystal cup lifted above his head, sparking brilliance between him and his team, while a girl kissed his cheek under the rain of confetti.A p
Draven honestly said. “I do want to enter one of the Big Five but I am not sure on which one”“Then I can help you” Luis cleared his throat and tossed a cube in Draven’s direction. The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br
Reading the announcement, the viewers blinked and suddenly bursted into cheers, holographic fireworks exploded in the air.Alight appearedinthe dugout, Osbornestood before them with a weak smile. "I did it!"His teammatesturned aroundand pounced,hisheadwent ditsyand Osborne fell on the bench. Dowsing their mood with a bucket of cold water. Coach said. "Guys, give him some space, he is just beat""But sir??"Coach assured them with a smile. "Don't worry, he is okay. He just needs time to recover by the time we have to go and claim the cup!""YAAYY!"Chad tugged his jacket, said "Sir, aren't you forgetting the group picture?""Oh, yeah..." Coach said, stumped by his situation, he pondered and said. "Maybe, Draven will be fine!""Yes, come one let go see Draven!!" Chad shouted, and like a mob the students pushed Coach along with them.
Draven asked."Anyway, do you guys know who won the match?""Nope, we rushed here as soon you got teleported out! I was worried something happened to you again!" Becky said."What do you mean again?" Amelia asked, clueless about the previous events since Abby didn't inform them of his situation."Its nothing" Becky shook her head."So, the match is going on?"Amelia said. "I think, before I left, Osborne was fighting that McFerreen guy."Rushed footsteps echoed within the halls. Draven shifted his gaze to the door. Arkon entered with a howl. "Hello, son!" while his family followed behind with big smiles. "Oh, my baby," a woman in an elaborate dress exclaimed and moved past her children all the way to his bed."Hi, Dad. Mom?
Next second later,light flashed,couple of bodies fell onto the bed. Emergency lights flicked around the room. Draven blinked, staring at the ceiling with one thought. "Did I win? Or did I lose?" He shifted his head to the side, the door swung open, as a team of nurses and doctors approached the beds. Draven was about to speak, a nurse said. "Doctor, this patient is in a critical condition." "Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient. "Doctor, a weird infection seems to be spreading over from his external wounds. I think he is poisoned." Grim expression, the doctor ran a hand scanner down his body."Bythe metrics
"Just do it," Draven shouted. They hesitated before they clicked forfeit. A light befell and teleported them out."Now let's fight!" Pablo flexed his gamma muscles and his feet launched himself forward with a powerful shock wave, adding cracks to the ice.In a blink of an eyes, he shot from one point with an outstretched fist. Draven dropped to a roll. A leg flew to Draven's face. Fire rocketed his soles to the sky. He swayed his sword and shot beams of energy.Pablo sprung into the air, the rays deflected off his chest and from his eyes; he shot gamma rays.Draven tilted his body away and countered with a freeze ray. Draven thought. 'I need to figure out a way to defeat him without contaminating myself.'Draven asked. "Vernon. Does life force absorption work on radio
Fire swirled around his legs, Draven stepped forward, leavingtrailsof puddles in his path. Pablo slowly picked himself. Draven stood over him, said."Pablo, face it you are finished!""I am finished?"Pablo snickeredwhilehe bendedto pick his axe and said. "How can you say I am finished when I haven't even played my next card?"Draven's eyebrows lifted in alertness, "What?" and stepped back.Poison radiated from his pores, his armour melted down to his legs, glowing a radioactive light.A sudden dread hit his core. Draven stepped back and lifted a hand to his face. Pablo radiated a blinding light. He laughed with head back, "Time for you see my full strength!"Draven ran away and shouted, "Osborne, retreat! Retreat!"&
Reaching the end of the berg, the horses neighed and jumped across the large stretch of water and continued galloping. Their bands beeped as they got closer to the Hellhound's location.Seeing figures far in the distance, Pablo grinned and drew out his axe. The others followed and drew out their weapons."Let's rush to victory!"The horses jumped across and their hooves sank in the snow. Controlling their powers, the horses galloped above the snowy water. Suddenly, ice beams sprung from the ground and struck few of them, triggering the safety system and teleported them out, leaving the rest out of formation.A beam sprung before him, Pablo reined it back, the horse lifted itself to a stop; fluttering his fur cape. Pablo signalled them to spread out, a freezing ray shot straight to him. Pablo jumped off
