His smile was anything but simple, beneath lay traps and trickery while his bracelet glowed to a chime of notifications. Becky asked "Are you going to pick it up?"
Draven said “It’s okay, it must probably be nothing” while spooning himself free food from their new followers.
Internally, Draven said "Vernon, how much have I earned?"
"2,673 and counting..."
"Excellent" he flicked his raven hair back. Earning awes from his new admirers.
Sensing a squad of officers in his aura vision, Draven snickered "Babe, here comes the show"
"Show?" she grinned, reading his eyes. "Oh, yes a show"
"Move" the captain of the turf guards pushed the people aside with his subordinates.
"Move!" The customers scuttered to the side and let him pass. He stood before Draven and Becky.
Draven said "Hello, captain T.D Walters"
The captai
Coach Fredrickson noted few points on his notepad, and rested his pen back on his ear. He shouted "Call him in!"A trainer signalled the referee and selected their next line up. "Subs"A spectating robot referee raised a neon board above his head, which was soon displayed on thegiant holographic screens floating in the air.His armour and the other's turnedto fluorescent yellow and soon swapped them with another. He shouted "Are you f*** kidding me?"A boy with ravenous hairswitchedto his place. The Hellhound crest on his armour glowed blood red. He flung his arm,sending a wave of fire and clashed against a similar attack of fire."Why did you sub me out?" He growled, facing the Coach."Keep quiet Osborne!" Coach sent him a glare, keeping him in line.Osborne gnawed his teeth. He turned to the row of benches and snared, "You! Get out!" he shoved his teammate out of the seat and took it for himself.<
Walking through the school halls, he weaved through the crowd of students, unnoticed.Thatwas,untilhecaughta familiarheadof curly hair in his view, a height above the rest.Draven lowered his blue-tinted sunglasses."Hey! Draven" his senior approached him. Draven's brows stretched in wonder. 'How did he know it was me?''Maybe it is broken.' Draven clicked the device attached around his neck and pulled it into his pocket.Draven forced a wry smile. "Hey! Rocco, what up?" and took his fist bump.Rocco said "Good. I am preparing for my finals""By the way, I saw your matches. Mn, you were epic!" He punched his chest. "Even that guy Osborne was good!""Thanks"Draven smiled. "Yeah, I know he is. He is my rival after all"Rocco said, "Well, rivals are a good thing! Thanks to my cousin, she pushed me beyond my limits and you know the rest"
Punches and kicks resounded within the dome. Her hair swayed to the breeze as the middle schooler climbed up the stairs. Theglass dome entered her sight. 'Why do I have to call him?’ She paused her step. ‘Wait, is he fighting?’ She squinted her eyes. "I think I have seen him before..." She walked inside and shouted, "Rocco! Rocco!"The moment Rocco craned his neck,Draven punched. Unable to dodge, Rocco tilted his head and his punch struck his left cheek. Rocco skidded back. Rocco planted his feet on the ground and shouted, “Violet?”Draven held himself back and turned around with a smile.She shouted. “Don't you know what time it is?"Rocco gave her a sheepish smile. "Lunch?”"It's now past three. Momma is furious! Come down fast""Sure. I thought I still had time."Rocco turned to him, said"Draven, is it okay if we take a break?""Y
"Hmm, now where should I start?" He said, overlooking the valley below him. A pixie like figure floated around him and rested his back on his soft hair. "I think here would be fine. Plenty of privacy for our experiments."Draven said "Yeah, give me a set of wings""Wings?" Vernon cast his host a strange look.Draven said. "Nah, forget it! A flying ability would better!"“Okay”-16,000 expHis eyes rolled back; a wave of information flooded his brain. His legs turned tipsy, Draven gritted his teeth, trying to balance himself and tumbled over the cliff. Draven squeezed his eyes to the pain.While falling, his muscles tensed and his heart raced around the clock, pumping a new strain of power in his blood vessels. Draven’s eyes glowed green, as a force seeped from his body and halted him in the air. Draven looked down; a grin formed on his face. “I am flying! Haha”His eyes focused on the b
"Seriously?" Vernon lifted his shoulder, totally guessing. "Maybe the system thinks it isn't hard for you?" "Whatever!" The sky gracer dipped his head into the water. His eyes searching for his figure. He popped his head up and shot straight to the sky with a ear-thrashing screech. Vernon asked "Why are you hiding?" "It's call strategizing!" Draven's hair stood up, as the beast dived from the sky, spelling the destruction of a launched naplam. He crashed and blew the water apart, sending most onshore. It raised it wings to a halt, almost touching the waterbed, scarring rest of the gilled beasts away. The sky gracer swan through the water like a bulet. Draven snickered and the moment it got closer to him, he appeared in front and slapped the bird on his face. Unlike he expected, the bird screeched sonic beams. Before the attack struck his face, Draven manipulated his hands and pushing himself to the side and launched
Draven lifted his hand off the bird as his symbol of a hand holding bolts of lightning marked the beast’s blue feathered forehead. "There. Now you belong to me""What is your name, beast?" Draven said.The sky gracer lowered his head to the floor and stuttered "Lefty"His eyebrows lifted while Kai chortled in the background. "Lefty? Why is your name Lefty?""Cuz I often get confused which way is right"Draven exclaimed, "Seriously?" and smacked his forehead. ‘I can’t believe Kai picked an idiot. Next I will choose the beast’ "No, that's what my parents said... But now I know which way is left and right!""Whatever, this name wouldn't do!" Draven said, kneading his temples."How about... How about?" Draven's eyes glanced around his surroundings for ideas.Kai blurted "Maybe... Nimrod"The beast croaked, "What?"Draven took a glance at the beast. The beast shook his head.
Southern winds added thrust to their wings, jesting the travellers to their destination as they graced the clear skies. Golden feathers shimmered in the light, displaying the royalty of his race. With a stretching call, it echoed against the mountains. Leading the way, he darted along his company behind and sped straight to the crevice. Suddenly, the mountain quaked, tumbling rocks down, as a path showed itself from the wall and a minute later, the rocks moved and sealed the gap in-between. Like it never existed in the first place. The eagle stepped out of his company with his confident posture and tall figure, which brimmed of authority. He lowered his head to a pail of water and quenched his thirst while the rest unloaded the cargo from the caravan. The locals, were beasts of various size, shape and species. The locals approached the caravan with a hospitable attitude and guided the travellers, after receiving an approving nod from their guardian, a l
A hoove touched his back “You are quite strong my friend”Draven glanced over his shoulder and snapped “What do you want?”The goat looking beast said “Its not what I want but something you want?”“Follow me”Draven said “Hmm, what do you “Suddenly the goat was walking a meter away “Are you comig?”“Ugh… uh” Draven thought ‘It is just a damn goat acting cool… why am I hesitiating?’He walked along the goat and said “So goat what do you think I want?”“The name is Billy. Billy the goat”Draven puffed a laughter out. “So billy”Billy casted Draven a glance, said “I can give you what you want, or even more like champion”“Champion?”Passing the streets of merry beasts, Billy said "Yes, I need you to fill in for one of my games"
"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
