Beneath the Stars

The Prank the Oracle Pulled

Bad was minding her own business. Just leaving the room, and walking down the hallway like a normal person, when out of nowhere water falls on her.

And it's cold too.

So while she screams at the impact and then slips back on her butt, her entire dress gets wet. Luckily nobody's around to see her epic fail except-

That laughing boy in the corner.

HOW DARE HE LAUGH-

It's okay, it's okay, it's not like he's the one who-

Is that a pully system?

Did he...was he the one who pulled the trigger?

…

…

…

"YOU'RE GOING TO DIE, BRAT!" Bad shrieks at him, jumping to her feet and racing over to him with the speed of a cheetah, flames in her eyes.

But the floor is still wet.

Her face connects with the floor and she groans at the pain flooding in, feeling her hair fall over her head ungracefully. The boy begins to laugh harder, and then falls down onto the ground like she did, clutching his sides and wiping his eyes with his fingers.

"You're such an idiot midget" The teen drawls, chuckling in between words, and pointing a finger at her mockingly.

That…

That stupid…

ARRRRGGGHHHH!

Getting up again and ignoring her internal screaming, Bad is careful in her steps toward him, making sure not to slip again. Looking down at the teen, she recognizes him. That exposing outfit, arrogant crimson eyes and annoyingly complicated ponytail. It's Judal!

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I'll kick your ass." He opens his mouth, probably to call her a midget again, or say how she can't break his borg, but Bad's leg is already connecting with his jaw and he goes flying, hitting the ground and rolling to a stop. Judal's expression is that of pained confusion, and he stares at her.

"What do you think you're doing mid-" She shoots forward, kicking his chest and sending a punch to his cheek, all while growling,

"Try calling me that again, jerk!" Spinning in the air and landing a few feet away from him, she's able to hear his groan. Standing up, Judal fixes his glare onto her, malice literally oozing from his skin.

"You're going to get it now" He pulls his wand out from his black choli and gets into a fighting stance, his teeth bared like a dog. Bad almost laughs at his lame attempt to scare her. She was too fast for his borg the previous times, and she can certainly beat him despite being a nine-almost-ten year old.

A realization crosses through Bad's mind.

She could beat Judal due to her extension knowledge of magic and spells, yes, but there is two things she is missing that didn't compute when she first picked a fight with him.

One:

SHE IS TEN.

Two:

SHEBA IS NOT HERE BUT WITH EREN.

In other words, she is fighting a magi with only her bare fists to defend against him.

Eh, I need to test my skills anyway.

"Bring it, Judar!"

"It's Judal!"

"WHATEVER!"

Twisting around, Bad dodges his ice spear and punches a hole through his borg, sending glass like fragments of the barrier in all directions. Next comes a kick to the legs making him sprawl to the ground and another kick to the stomach. Then, heaving him up and punching his face, she throws him back down to the dirt and breaths heavily, taking stock of the destruction caused.

The boy is unconsious now, but groans in his sleep, bruises forming on his midriff and cheeks where she hit him multiple times.

A giant hole in the palace wall, trampled flower beds, the lily pond destroyed, and some trees fallen to the ground, not to mention the few craters here and there that are still smoking. As for her, cuts line her arms and a bad bruise on her stomach aches. Luckily (and mysteriously) Bad's not bleeding. Her feet are raw and sore from all the dodging and running she was forced to do, and nothing sounds better than a bath and nap.

The rustling of armor brings her to her senses, and she realizes that the Kou army is headed her way. Sighing, she uses the last of her strength to jump up back into the hole and through the hallway, leaving before anyone can see her.

Bad giggles.

"That was a lot of fun~" Her eyes narrow "But he better not prank me again."

Hi everyone! This is just a little spoof of my story Starry Skies, and I really hope you like it! If you haven't read Starry Skies, none of this will make much sense to you, so I suggest reading it first~
