Otsoa's POV:
We listened patiently to Fang's explanations of the DNA hybrids, the guy was reserved, never saying more than he needed to, and Rachet on the other hand couldn't stop.
After some amount of time Fang turned to Star and asked;
"Can we see a demonstration? It's just that I need too see if you're any good."
"Sure, but I warn you I've never been beaten yet." She answered, with a devilish grin.
They stood, we rose too,
"Are you willing to form an alliance?" asked Lotus offering her hand to Fang to make a deal.
He looked her up and down,
"How good are you guys in battle, I don't have room for dead weights." Fang said.
Kiba and I snorted at this statement, ha this was priceless! We could boot this guy's ass into next week with out breaking a sweat.
Lotus, no I idea if she was any good at fighting. No one had ever got their hands on her long enough to find out.
Lotus' POV:
Hold up! This child is not looking at me up and down! Hasn't he heard about respecting your elders?
"How good are you guys in battle, I don't have room for dead weights." Fang said.
Kiba and Otsoa snorted at this statement, probably wanting to kick his scrawny be-hind. Well I couldn't wait to fight him, show him what this chick could go.
"There is a clearing a few miles North so we can show you out stuff then." Said Kiba playful, with that devilish, he was such a cutie!
Fang just started to move, and the rest of us followed, Otsoa and Kiba racing ahead.
I was all tingly with excitement.
Otsoa's POV:
We arrived at a clearing, some miles out from the city.
"Who wants to go first? You'll fight me if you win you're in if not… we'll talk then." Fang explained.
I stood forward, squaring my shoulders.
The others wisely backed away; this fight was going to take a lot of room.
The side of Fang's mouth turned upwards, and he let out a low chuckle, too quite for humans to head, especially from this distance.
What just because I'm a girl and shorter than him, I'm not tinny- 5ft 8-. I was prepared not to whoop this guy's ass too hard. Not any more, Fang is gonna get it!
I walked closer to him, until there was less than 3 feet between us.
He aimed a punch at my head which I neatly dodged, then ducked round and spun my leg up so that it hit him in the jaw- maybe with more force than was really necessary-, he staggered back but regained control, not giving me anytime attack again.
We circled each other some more. As we both feinted and landed blows on each other, neither gaining any advantage over the other.
Fang kicked me hard in the ribs, causing me to fly across the clearing.
The audience let out a collective gasp.
While in motion, I morphed in time to land on the ground facing Fang with a thud, he visibly flinched at what he saw; I knew what he could see.
A wolf, 4ft 6, dark silver fur, with my human eyes- icy blue- only they were laced with rings of silver from the exhilaration of the hunt.
And it was running towards him, we rolled across the grass still trying to land blows on the other. I twisted and morphed so I was then straddling the back of his knees, his face pressed into the ground. I yanked his head up by his hair, exposing his neck; I pulled my ornate family dagger from its enchanted sheath strapped to my calf under my jeans and pressed its perfectly sharp point to the base of his throat.
"Do I pass then?" I asked, only breathing a little harder, no the worst stacks I've ever had to face.
"Yeah. I guess." Replied a deep breathing Fang.
As soon as I got my answer I hissed menacingly into his ear,
"Just because I'm a girl does not mean I can't fly kick your butt into next month. You'd do well to remember that."
I stood up from Fang. And offered my hand to help him up, which he tentatively accepted, probably worried if he put one foot wrong I'd deck him.
The other took it in turns to go up against Fang,
Kiba vs. Fang was much the same as my fight, Kiba and I both had similar styles, only he used strength over speed.
Lotus' fight was really something to watch,
Fang sent a kick towards her stomach; or where her stomach had been, because no sooner had Fang made a move to raise his leg, had Lotus vanished from where she was standing. She reappeared almost 6 feet behind Fang facing him. He spun round looking for her; once he'd spotted her he just stood watching her; not wanting to make the next move.
Finally he did, Fang extended his huge black/ purple wings and used them to propel himself forward while still running on the ground, smashing every Olympic track record ever made.
Lotus waited until there was less than a stride between them, she raised her right hand, with a quick snap of her wrist Fang was sailing through the air at a surprising velocity. He crashed into an aging oak tree on the very edge of the clearing with an audible thud.
As he pulled himself out of the Fang sized hole now on the tree, ouch.
Fang look from side to side hunting for Lotus.
Who he wasn't going to find.
As he rose to his feet the branches of the oak tree extended, they wrapped around his waist and ankles and hung him upside down.
Lotus let him hang for a few moments move before appearing in the centre of the clearing. With a snap of her fingers the branches retracted to their original positions and Fang dropped to the ground like a stone. She was grinning ear to ear.
"I haven't done that in forever! So Fang think you can keep up with us?"
He snorted, shaking his wings out like a proud peacock, "yeah".
Lotus' POV:
Woo! I was pumped, teach that child some manners. Oh if only Salix could see me. Kinda miss my little sister. Oh well, I'm sure I'll see her soon.
Then came Star, they started having drag races across the clearing, Rachet in a hot wired red camero (talk about hot rod), Fang in the air, Star on foot, Kiba also on foot (in wolf form), Otsoa on ground or in the air depending her mood. I decided I was no longer interested, so hello sun lounger and a starbucks coffee.
Star won.
Otsoa came a close second and Kiba was third, the guys were miles behind. Fang came next, he swept down, landing lightly on the ground, gotta hand it to the kid- he's fast. Rachet came next. He was not pleased. He slammed out of the car and stormed off into the forest. Oh dear.
Otsoa's POV:
Well that went well. While Rachet nursed his poor ego the rest of us (excluding Lotus) compared notes.
"What kinds of speeds can you guys reach." Fang asked Star, Kiba and I.
"On the ground…300 max on this kind of terrain," I said gesturing to the damp log and moss ridden forest. "The flat and dry…350 upwards… In the air 400- 450. This is like cruising speeds, faster if it was a sprint."
"Here 260 tops, flat… 330? Maybe more?" said Kiba.
"I don't know, faster than Otsoa, but number wise I've never been interested enough to try and find out." Added in Star.
"What other thing's can you do?" Rachet asked
"Not much." Said Kiba.
"Well I have a small amount of Faye blood, so I am able to acutely command water- my specialised element." I said, they look at me questionably so I demonstrated; I turned over to look over at where Lotus was sitting with an iced coffee and willed the coffee to explode.
It took a few moments but the coffee and whipped cream began to shake then shot out of the straw, covering Lotus in iced coffee cream, she was dripping wet, and in no way amused by my cheap trick. Next thing I knew she was throwing balls of fire at me which I barely managed to ward off.
