Helloooo to everyone that is patiently keeping up with this strange story! I just wanted to let everyone know that, no matter how old or random any of my fanfics are, it is IMMENSELY APPRECIATED if you write a review on them. I feel like I've suddenly lost a lot of readers lately, so I do wanna know if people are actually liking my crappy content.

Anywho, I hope you all enjoy this weird and 'action-packed'(?) chapter! Much love!

The small arena on the other side of the school grounds echoed loudly as the class shuffled inside, the large metal doors slamming shut once the final person was safely locked in. It was pitch black until the perimeter of the hall was dramatically lit up with blazing wooden sticks as the flames danced about in an awkward frenzy. Battle class was by far Kai's favourite lesson. Not necessarily the part where some kids have nearly died from extreme injury… but that apparently didn't matter when up against an enemy. And to be fair, the teacher didn't really help either, in fact, he got rather cheerful when a bone or two was broken.

"Good morning, fighters! I hope everyone is prepared for some hardcore bashings!" Master Chen shouted aggressively, jumping about like an untrained puppy. "OKAY! Girls on my right, Boys on my left!" And with that the group split to their assigned side, everyone eager to get started. It was at this point where the insane man began to blabber on about the safety procedures and rules of a 'fair fight'. The majority of the class already knew this fake shtick, so they all broke out into small conversations.

Jay shuffled over to be with his friends at the middle of the line, sliding over next to Cole. "So, the great master of Earth, anything you wanna know about this stuff?" Kai, Zane and Lloyd all glanced over at the new boy as they waited impatiently for an answer.

"What happens if I kill someone?" He asked quietly, his wide, nervous eyes staring up at the first person he had met. Kai chewed his lip, unsure how to answer the sudden question.

"You won't. And if you do, then that doesn't matter. There's probably some kid in this school that can heal dead people. Anyways, I'm Kai." The brunet nodded firmly as he said his name, before the others copied and vice versa.

"Lloyd."

"I am Zane, I am a robot but I like to think of myself as a human-"

"Zane he doesn't care, shut up. Name's Jay! I reckon we're gonna get on awesomely!"

"Oh, and whatever happens." Lloyd suddenly changed his tone, now extremely serious. "Don't let the Master of Amber touch you. That's a trap that we all fell into and it's now used to her advantage." Cole offered a soft smile hastily as, thankfully, Chen interrupted and called for the first two 'fighters' to get in their positions. Jay quickly excused himself as he happily trotted into the centre of the arena, facing his gorgeous opponent. Nya rolled his eyes irritably as her blush faded. Out of all the close calls they'd had before, today was finally the day they had to battle each other. "Im not gonna go easy on you, Jay." She warned as she got into a battle stance, the spectators seated against opposite walls of the room and on the hard concrete. Once Master Chen had slumped himself comfortably into his annoyingly fancy throne at the head of the room, he let the fight begin.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you, Nya!" Jay yelled as cracking blue sparks circled his hands threateningly, the sound almost deafening as it clicked and cracked and sparked loudly of the walls. The ravenette smirked playfully as she only stuck out her hands towards him and watched as an impressive flow of beautifully clear water smacked him to the ground as their elements collided painfully. Jay jolted harshly as he managed to cope through the backfire, visibly pissed at his girlfriend. He painted on the floor heavily as Chen declared the winner, and unfortunately the loser, as everyone cheered for the next competitors to go on.

"WOOO GO NYA!" Kai shouted over at his sister as she strolled back to her side, earning herself a round of proud high fives and friendly hugs. "Ow!" He glared up at Jay as he smacked him over the head, huffing angrily to himself as he slid down the wall pathetically.

Zane chuckled. "You weren't even out there for thirty seconds. And now you are being a sore loser-"

"IM NOT A SORE LOSER!" He retorted, huffing once more. "Let's just hope Cole can get us a point."

Cole, shocked, opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it wisely as he shyly got up and made his way over to the redhead. Skylar simply stuck out her hand politely, grinning as the nervous boy debated on whether or not to shake it. He braced his hand carefully as it came level with hers, but quickly dismissed it and lowered it back down to his side confidently. Skylar gasped quietly at the unwanted reaction, her brows narrowing as Chen let, just like the last time, the fight begin.

"I get that you're the new kid and everything," She teased slyly as she suddenly vanished, before reappearing a lot closer the previously. Instantly she began circling the already worried boy, the speed unnatural as she wizzed around him in an unsettling blur. Cole struggled to keep his focus as his mind became distorted as all the excited shouts echoed through his ears relentlessly. Nervously he sucked in a deep breath and stood there, waiting for the perfect moment to let loose.

Everyone gasped in shock. The whirlwind of orange and red was abruptly stopped and was threw harshly into the air, but had just enough time to recover using the element of gravity. Cole panted unevenly, his fist pressed hard against the ground with threatening ripples of cracks and jagged edges surrounding him.

Now that was unexpected.

A single, proud, stuned, every-single-emotion-ever filled clap broke the silence, which soon broke out into a tsunami of applauds and roars of praise as the boys' side began an aggressive chant of the Earth Master's name. During this time Skylar was back on her feet and sprinting viscously back to the centre of the arena, leaping gracefully over the dodgy quake lines and harmful concrete chunks, her hands building up with an unattractive shade of metallic grey. Now from her elbows down, the young girl was clad in metal, her largely dangerous fists braced to beat the innocent boy to a pulp.

The scene flowed in slow-motion; Skylar's arms angled in for a flawless punch as she glared fiercely, and Cole quickly front-flipping above her and landing safely behind as his attacker missed her target. It was clear to everyone that the redhead was extremely irritated and angry, and judging by the growing mass of flashing, green energy forming in her hands, it wasn't going to end very well.
