___________Team Leo_____________Leo and Alec found themselves at the top of a snowy mountain, looking around, Alec could see a town settlement in the distance."What exactly are we supposed to be looking out for?" Alec asked."The reports didn't specify what exactly was seen, it just said big and scary, apparently it was seen by a group of teens with low description skills" Leo replied."Ouch, go easy on them" Alec said."We need to find a place to set up camp " Leo said.They made their way down the mountain as Leo had an issue with making camp high in the mountains so Alec suggested they walk to the settlement close by.When they got to the town, they made their way to the security headquarters where the report was sent from."Good evening sir, we are here from Blue River Academy concerning the sightings of unknown creatures" Leo said."Right, the head officer will be with you shortly" The receptionist replied.Five minutes later, a man came to them, seemingly in his late 40s and e
Getting back to school, the three pairs were allowed to relax for a few hours before being called to present their report to the superiors.Nicholas's was the shortest so naturally he went first, followed by a round of applause and some kind words. Leo went up next, his report caused a frown on the faces of everyone listening."But that was a human claimed planet" a man by the name Major General Collin grim said."Calm yourself sir, the last pair you may present your report" General Val Anita said.Major General Collin didn't appreciate being shushed by a woman, but being his superior in office he couldn't only hide his frown.The room was thrown into further confusion after Levi and Brandon gave thier report."Raid, have the elves moved to the ice fortress, we will need to make sure they are telling the truth" General Val said."There seems to be a lot of secret movements amongst the foreign races" Colonel James said."We will have to level up our security, I suggest more soldiers be
A few weeks past and it was time for the Military inter school sports competition, the students were excited, especially the first years as this was an opportunity to let off some steam after their busy weeks.The students were teleported to the island where the competition was to take place, it was a tropical island with a volcano at the far end of it giving enough room for a gigantic stadium to be built alongside other accommodations where the students would stay for the two weeks they would spend on the island.At the moment, Bruce was leading the gang to the Refreshments Bar where some other students were waiting for them."Bruce, over here" Jason waved."Hey guys, how have you been?" Bruce asked as they sat at a Large round table."We have been good" Jason replied."Right, these are our friends, Brandon, Alec, Angelo, Natalie, Maya and Isabella" Bruce said."Nice to meet you all, these are our friends, Douglas, Britain and Evelyn" Jason said."Brandon is it? Bruce has said a lot
The next day, an update on the tournament was broadcast for teams to better reevaluate themselves."Looks like we will be starting earlier today" Brandon said."I figured they would do that with the amount of activities they have planned we would need more time" Angelo said."But isn't 10 am a bit too early?" Alec groaned."You are only saying that because, you wouldn't be able to grab a 2nd round of breakfast" Maya chuckled."Yeah, I'm surprised you aren't bloated" Isabella said."With the amount of training we do, I doubt any of us can get bloated" Natalie said."Well, with the amount of time we will spend here, it's possible, we don't have room to train like when we are back at school" Dom said."True, so watch what you eat Alec, we wouldn't want to return you back to school with you the size of a Flame hippo" Bruce chuckled."Whatever, let's just see what we have for the day" Alec said.After breakfast at 8, the team sat at a table at the bar while checking the activities for the
The face of many students turned pale at the sight, they weren't given time to recover as the attack struck again, they watched in horror as the stands where Academies head sat was completely destroyed. Panicked, some students fled towards the entrances which refused to open and the moment some tries flying out with their abilities, a giant tail whipped them back down.Descending from the sky was a giant long necked reptile with broad wings, flesh tearing claws and teeth that could grind bone to dust, the horns on it's head and the spikes that ran from it's next down to it's tail was a clear indication that this creature was deadly and wouldn't bat an eyelid before eating them all.-Name : Pyro Dragon (R)Tier: Demi - God tierDescription: Extremely deadly fire powered reptile with wings and flesh tearing claws, accompanied by bone crushing teeth.-"Yeah, the description doesn't help" Brandon Sarcastically replied."It looks like we are trapped in here with it, which means we have
Their battle with the dragon was an eye opener for the students as most them couldn't help but contemplate their future especially those who had immediately ran at the first opportunity, some of which were boasters at their Academies now couldn't speak anymore. The video of the fight was uploaded on the Internet and all the students who took part were named and highlighted for viewers to know as for the runners, nothing was done them, the board felt their shame and guilt would be enough punishment for them.At Blue River Academy, the chater didn't seem to die down, they had brought home every gold medal in the Track events with two of those medals belonging to one person who was now on par with the nobles on terms of power reputation.They were given a few days of rest before the re-evaluation test came up, unlike the tournament, this test was just to compute their progress and growth as students since the beginning of the year but, the lack of prizes didn't discourage the students fr
As Bruce and Brandon stepped through, they found themselves in the familiar place they knew as Rayville Teleportation station, Eleanor."It's good to be home, isn't it?" Bruce said."You said it buddy" Brandon replied."Bruce, Brandon, over here" A woman called to them."Mum" Bruce said running to her with his bags."Oh my little boy, how I have missed you, how was school? Brandon my dear, how have you two been?" She asked."We have been good Mrs Devin, school was amazing" Brandon replied."Come now, I have said this before , Mrs Sarah is just fine" She said."Don't mind him mum, being away for so long has his brain wired differently" Bruce chuckled."Just make sure you don't suffocate your mum with that hug besides people are starting to stare at the soldier boy snuggling his mum" Brandon said."Right let's be on our way, you dad's waiting, Brandon, I hope you will stay for lunch, I will drop you off after" Mrs Sarah said."Of course, Mrs Sarah" Brandon replied with a smile.They put
Walking back into the orphanage, he found Kai and Emily were relieved to see him come back unscathed."So I'm guessing it wasn't an ambush?" Kai asked."No, he just wanted to gloat" Brandon replied."That couldn't have ended well for him" Emily chuckled."Well, I did wait long enough for his shame to kick in" Brandon said."I presume Bruce is coming over as well" Kai said."Yeah, he will be here" Brandon replied.A few hours later, the double doors opened to reveal Bruce with a huge basket of gifts."Wow, that's a lot" Kai said."That's what I said too but she wouldn't listen" Bruce said as he placed it down."You are here, come on guys, dinner will be ready soon, I will carry the basket" Brandon said."Thanks" Bruce replied.The evening atmosphere was filled with chuckles and gasps as Brandon and Bruce told their story with Brandon using the flames from the bon fire to provide a visual display of their time at school.When they finished, the other kids were all clapping and cheering
The next morning the students were gathered in the great hall lined up according to their squads in Alphabetical order, Soldiers were positioned at the door to help late comers find their squad's spot after dishing out their punishment.Coincidentally, behind Brandon's Squad was Elvis' squad, this was the first time they had seen him since their last encounter while still in their 1st year, he looked different, there was no expression of hatred or disdain when his eyes met Brandon's, infact, there seemed to be some semblance of respect or administration in Elvis's eyes and his usual band of noble friends seems to avoid him though, they weren't in the same squad."Good morning Students, welcome to this mornings formation, today you are going to be debriefed on a lot of the changes that will be happening in your schedule and bear in mind that none of the things said to you in this room should for any reason be spoken to the 1st years, you have been warned" A soldier announced before ste
Arriving back at school, the new second and third years were given the first week off to get settled into their new rooms; thanks to Miss Silver and the Sergeant, the boy's rooms were on the same floor and next to each other, the same thing for the girls.After settling in, the crew decided to meet by the lake for a picnic; now that their dorms and lecture halls had been changed, they would have to leave their former secret spot for the new first years to enjoy."I couldn't help but feel bad for the first years after their trials, friends betraying friends when they are all going to be fighting side by side in the war," Maya said; her hair was longer now with a tint of green in its blonde colour."It's a natural process; they start out craving power just like some of our mates did. Then, along the way, they learn the importance of unity and togetherness," Angelo explained."Well, that's their problem; at the moment, we have bigger fish to fry, Brandon; what's the plan for the year?" A
Silence plagued the orphanage the next morning as even the Masters were all gathered in Mater Trevor's room where he was being attended to by a healer.The younger children went about their daily activities as though nothing happened but the older ones couldn't help but worry about Brandon, most of them were clueless as to what transpired between Brandon and Master Trevor but they had all been informed that Master Trevor was in his current state as a result of Brandon losing his temper which hardly ever happened.Meanwhile, in the master room, the other elders were still contemplating what to do to Brandon, under normal circumstances, he was to be punished but this case was different, Brandon wasn't one to lose his temper just like that and it wasn't fresh news that Master Trevor had a thing for pushing Brandon around but what made them even more perplexed was the insane amount of untamed power that radiated out of Brandon the previous evening."How could he have gotten that powerful
Mrs Sarah was more than happy to see the boys again, after cleaning up, they were welcomed with a dinning table filled with sumptuous looking meals."Wow, you definitely didn't have to make so much mum" Bruce said on seeing the table."I know, I have come to realize that I may not see you as often as I would like especially since you will be busy with your career as a soldier and an inventor, so I have decided to put my all into every moment I spend with you in hopes that these memories will keepe company when you aren't here" Mrs Sarah said."Mum.., " Bruce muttered as the words seemed lost in his mind."It's alright Bruce, tough times are never easy, now eat up, you too Brandon" Mrs Sarah said with a smile.After the meal, the boys retired to Bruce's room, Brandon couldn't help but think back to what Mrs Sarah said at the table."Ian, we need to talk" Brandon said."As I expected" Ian replied.Brandon appeared in the empty space with Ian floating in front of him."So what did you wa
After claiming the weapons, Bruce and Brandon walked back out of the respective rooms, hoping to thank the Sphinxes before leaving, but found the temple entirely empty."Where could they have gone?" Brandon asked."A better place, I hope" Bruce replied as he noticed the heaps of sand where the Sphinxes previously stood."Well, we have what we came here for; let's go,", Brandon said, swinging the staff by his side."Yeah, everything about the weapon feels worth it, even the design". Bruce said, admiring the intricate blue carvings that formed diagrams of every lightning-wielding supernatural; Brandon's staff had a similar look, the only difference being that his had fire-wielding supernatural with a beautiful red hue in addition to the orange colour.Noticing a new door, the pair stepped through to find themselves in a large hallway with drawings and writings of alien origin on both sides of the wall."Looks like an origin story of some sort," Bruce said."The drawings are so life-like
As they flew through the night skin, curtains of light appeared in the sky, like the northern lights back on Earth but more prominent and heading in a particular direction."The Aurora borealis" Came a slight whisper from Bruce."You are awake, how are you feeling?" Brandon asked."Better than I should, where's Nicole?" Bruce said."He's flying behind us" Brandon replied."Flying? Oh my!!!" Bruce exclaimed gripping unto Brandon tight as he looked down."Relax, I have got you," Brandon said."Right, will we be able to make it in one night?" Bruce asked."I don't know" Brandon sighed.They flew for a few more hours, following the trail of light. There were a few occasional screeches and growls from below, but none could reach them; disappointed expressions appeared on their faces as the sun peeped from behind the sandy mountains."We should continue on foot. You guys can rest your wings, and I sort of need to take the piss", Bruce said.Spreading his senses around the areas, he landed,
The ship went back into space as soon as the passengers alighted."It's better to be caught driving past an enemy planet than seen landing on it; the ship will be back once requested; that's what those makeshift phones are for,", Harvey said when he noticed Brandon's eye following the ship."Thank you" Brandon replied."My offer still stands; if you are in trouble, just press this, and we will come to you as soon as possible", Harvey said, handing him a box."Are your teammates okay with you being this overly nice to a bunch of strangers?" Brandon asked."They understand my reasons, these are tough times and a lot of kids your age come out here in hopes of finding something to help them make a living, most never return, I myself have witnessed too many young deaths to count, it's why we offer our protection to young mercenaries without having them joining us" Harvey explained."Thank you, that's very kind of you; we will see you around,", Brandon said."Hey Harvey, should we follow t
The orphanage became a bit quieter than usual with Master Cerian and Alicia gone, Brandon spent most of the days training with Bruce and helping out the way he could around the orphanage.Whenever he had nothing to do, he would slip into the dimensional space to hang out with Nicole, shadow and the cubs."You sure, you don't want me to find you a new home?" Brandon asked Nicole one afternoon."Yeah, besides, I wouldn't be able to find the other thunderbirds , if they are still thunderbirds out there" Nicole replied."Brandon, I need to talk to you" Ian said."Leaving the dimensional space, he found himself in the empty space with Ian."There's a weapon you need to find" Ian said."Now??" Brandon asked."Yes, I needed to make sure you and Bruce would be strong enough to embark on this quest" Ian replied."what's so special about this weapon" Brandon asked."It's a spirit staff, a very powerful weapon when wielded by a supernatural" Ian explained."But I already have a staff" Brandon sa
Alec and Isabella held each other's hands as the car drove into the family estate, the last time they were home wasn't exactly a pleasant experience.Stepping out of the car, they went straight to their rooms, hoping to avoid as much interactions as possible.Isabella glanced out the window, she could see her mother and the lady of the house taking a casual stroll in the garden while seemingly discussing something important.A knock on the door called her attention away from the ladies in the garden."Who is it?" Isabella asked."It's Alec" Came her brother's voice."Come in" Isabella said."When do you want to go see mum and dad?" Alec asked."I don't know, mum's having a discussion with Lady Garcia in the garden at the moment" Isabella replied."This holiday doesn't have to be this way, it could be better, we just need to walk with our heads held high" Alec said."It's one thing to do that in school where people don't know the mistake I made but here, everyone knows about it" Isabel
