(During Homecoming after defeating Royal Pain)
After the defeat of Royal Pain, Principal Powers had reluctantly allowed the Homecoming Dance to continue. The Commander and Jetstream left the dance and went home so their son Will Stronghold could enjoy the time with his girlfriend Layla Williams. The D.J put on a slow song and all the couples started flooding the dance floor. The only who wasn't dancing was Warren Peace a.k.a the bad boy of the school or 'hothead' as Coach Boomer would call him. He had shared a dance with a girl whose power was ice but she soon left him to dance with some guy who can fly. Why she went off to dance with that obnoxious freak was a mystery to him.
Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a window shattering and two people came fighting came crashing through it. One the opponents push the other one of him and she landed on the floor. She got up on one knee and winced in pain. Before she was able to fully get up she was sliding across the room in that position. She yelled, leaned forward and used her hands as brakes. On her left side the floor starting smoking and on her right the she was leaving a line of ice. She stopped and got up. Her opponents landed in front of her and smirked.
"How does it feel to be the only existing member of your family, Arelis?" the guy asked.
"So you are the one who killed Uncle Tommy and Aunt Kat and my cousin Kira. And you were supposed to kill me too but I wasn't there since I was visiting my dad and mother in solitary. And know you've come to finish the job haven't you?" She whispered. The whole gym was so quiet that they heard her.
They guy laughed maliciously.
"But of course, my girl your uncle Tommy or more known as the White Tiger and your Aunt Kat a.k.a The Pink Crane put my father in jail, and to pay for it they had to die along with someone that matter to them, so naturally I would have to kill your cousin and you," the man said.
"Well then, why don't you just finish your job" Arelis said. Her left arm ignited and her left iced. The man ran at her and started throwing glowing green at her. They stopped in midair and disappeared.
"I forgot to tell I have seven powers, you've just witness three, I am pyrokinetic, telekinetic and hydrokinetic I control water and ice, what my other four powers are… you'll find out soon enough." Arelis told him
She ran at him while chucking baseball size hailstone at him. They all hit its target and when she was close enough she impaled him with a volleyball size fireball. They guy flew back and hit the wall. He got up and glared at her. He started walking and towards her but was stopped by a guy with a red, white and blue jacket. They started fighting, but Arelis ran over there and grabbed the red, white and blue guy and separated them. Arelis looked at the boys face and her eyes widened in realization.
"Stay out of this little Stronghold; this is my fight and my fight only." Arelis told Will Stronghold.
"Yeah, little Stronghold, stay out of this if you know what is good for you," the man told him. All of a sudden the guy threw a huge glowing green ball at her. It caught her in her midsection. She flew halfway across and crashed into the table that Warren Peace who happened to be leaning on. Both of them came crashing down, Arelis on top of Warren. Warren looked in her icy blue-gray and saw anger, confusion and sorrow. She got up off him and offered her hand to him to help him. He ignited his hand and Arelis eyes widened; another pyrokinetic. She smirked and when he grabbed her hand she ignited hers. Both Arelis pulled Warren up and apologized;
"I am so sorry; I really didn't mean to crash into you. "
"No sweat, but next time I won't be so kind if you crash into to me again," Warren answered her. "Do you need any help?"
"Oh my Gosh, do I hear the great bad boy of the school being kind and offering help? That last blow must have affected my hearing." Arelis retorted.
Warren's eyes hardened for a bit but then went back to his cold hazel eyes.
"Sometimes even the strong and the wise sometimes have to ask for help," Warren said.
Arelis looked at Warren with sad eyes and said;
"I can't, I won't get help, Paine put my father and mother in solitary for something they didn't do and then he gets the nerve to go and destroy my aunt, uncle and my four year old cousin. I have to destroy him myself." With that said she walked toward Paine whose hands were glowing green.
"I about to teach you about to teach you a thing in science" Arelis said. "Flame On!" she yelled. Paine smirked and cried;
"Silver mold!" his body was covered silver. Arelis charged at Paine. Flames flickered on her body.
"Do you want to know what will happen when metal heats up and then quickly cools down?" Arelis asked. Paine's eyes widened in realization and tried to power down. Arelis grinned and cried; "Super Nova" The room started heating up as she went in circles around Paine for about ten minutes. Then a voice yelled;
"Below zero," a flash of blue and Arelis body was pure ice and was still circling Paine. After five more minutes Arelis landed and her body was returned to normal. Everybody looked at Paine and only saw a pair of eyes, the rest was of the silver was molded together and iced. She turned around and snapped her fingers. The thing exploded into a million pieces. She swept her hands in a circular motion and the shards went out the window.
"You will never be able to hurt, kill or rape anyone ever again." Arelis said.
"Consider this the last chapter in your life." Arelis turned around when she sense someone behind her. Principal Powers looked at Arelis angrily.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It wasn't my choice to fight here. I was coming to deliver a message when Paine attacked my on my way here."
"Well then what was the message?" Principal Powers asked.
"The mayor wants you and Mr. Boy at the town square five minutes ago" Arelis said. Principal Power gasp loudly and yelled; "Comets Away" and left. Mr. Boy looked at Arelis and told her;
"How am I supposed to get there?" Arelis snapped her fingers and Mr. Boy disappeared. Arelis looked around to see the how much destruction she caused.
'Not much,' she thought. The table was broken and there were a few dents in the floors but nothing a good telekinesis push wouldn't fix. A redhead girl in a green dress walked up to her and said;
"Hi, I'm Layla; welcome to Sky High, my power is nature and you?" By then everyone went back to dancing, except five people who appeared behind Layla. Two of them she recognized as Will and Warren.
"The name is Arelis Manning-Oliver. My power is fire, water & ice, dry ice, telekinesis, and control over air and nature." Arelis answered.
A short black boy with glasses and an orange tux said;
"Seven powers, that's amazing, but what is dry ice?"
Arelis grinned; she loved testing dry ice on people the reaction was hilarious.
"Do you want me to try it on you?" Arelis asked. Ethan hurriedly answered no and said; why don't you try it on Zack" and pointed at the platinum haired boy. Arelis smirked and threw a small ball of blue mist at Zack's leg. Zack screamed when the ball hit him.
"I thought you said it was dry ice, I supposed to feel cold not a burning sensation"
"Dry Ice," Arelis said. "Is so cold it burns. Trust me if that ball was any bigger you would get a third degree burn. So what's your power?"
Arelis found out that Zack glowed, Ethan melted, the girl with purple striped hair turned into a guinea pig and Will Stronghold had super strength and flight. Arelis smiled and left while everyone was busy arguing who had the better power. She went out side and sat on the steps.
"Paine is gone, so what now?
Mom and Dad are still in jail and won't be coming out anytime
soon." Arelis asked herself. "Shit, I don't even have a place
to live in. Why do these things always happen to me?" She yelled
and threw flames after flames at a bus that was parked right in front
of her. To calm down she started singing;
She
sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of
the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to
herself,
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty
pages,
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing
'Till
everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything
burns
Ooh, oh
Walking
through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed
in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings
'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning
their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of
this pain
Burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till
everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
(All fade
away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams...
(Watching it
all fade away)
Oooh, ooh...
(While everyone screams)
Burning
their lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this hate)
And all
of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til
everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
(Oooh, ooh)
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade
away...
Arelis finished singing and it was there she notice that she had been crying silently. She reached up to wipe her tears but someone beat her to it. Someone gently dried her tears. Arelis closed her eyes and that someone gently lifted her chin. Arelis opened her eyes and met the hazel ones of Warren Peace.
"How is it that our families can't be perfect, like the Stronghold family?" he asked.
"Because if our family was perfect, we wouldn't be who we are now and our life would be plain boring." Arelis answered. Arelis shivered and Warren put his arm around her and brought him closer to him.
"Why are you being so nice to me? You don't even know me." Arelis asked him.
"You remind me of someone," Warren said.
"Really; who?" Arelis questioned, hoping he wouldn't say his ex-girlfriend or something like that.
"Me," Warren said.
"Are you always this nice to people?" Arelis asked. Warren laughed and shook his head.
"My motto was 'Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone, unless you are Will Stronghold." Arelis laughed.
"So then what happen tonight?"
"Well, after we saved the world from Royal Pain and her friends, we made a pact to forget the differences that our parents had and become the best of friends and be there for each other."
Arelis smiled and ignited one hand and iced the other. She made seven targets out of ice and the she waved her hands to level them in the air. Arelis pointed at them and ignited her fingers. She counted to three and then she fired one big flame. Arelis then used her telekinesis to separate them into seven flames and each one hit the target. She chuckled when the ice melted.
"How do you stand it?" Warren asked.
"Stand what?"
"Having seven powers, especially fire, ice and water, those three elements don't go together."
"I'm not sure. I just can. But I really have to control my tempers sometimes because something bad will happen."
"What will happen?"
"I am not sure but something bad will happen."
Warren let the subject drop and the two of them sat in comfortable silence. Arelis rest her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
A comet landed in front of them and Principal Powers arrived. Principal Powers looked at Arelis and said;
"You will be living with Mr. Boy from now on until you turn eighteen. Then he will decide if you can stay or if you have to leave."
Arelis rolled her eyes and got up. Before she left she kissed Warren on the cheek. He looked at her surprised.
"What was that for?"
"For giving me a chance, to actually getting to know me before judging me." Arelis told him. She smiled, snapped her fingers and left but not before saying
"See you tomorrow, Warren Peace."
