Chapter 3
Soul City, March 28, 20XX
Team Obsidian Room: 4776
In the girl's room...
Fen jumped up from her spot, almost falling over. After gaining focus, she realized that she was sitting in front of the table with the digital screen of the other teams on it. She groaned, her head landing on the table again, causing her to wince in pain.
"I guess staying up all night looking at and analyzing the groups with Caden is some hard work..." Fen mumbled to herself, rubbing her forehead. After stretching out her arms, she got out of her chair, turned off the screen, and walked over to the other beds. Rose and Brooklyn were still sleeping, so Fen thought that she would just leave them be. She glanced at the time from the clock hanging on the wall, her eyes widening when she noticed what time it was.
"Crap!" she hissed, looking back at her teammates sleeping peacefully. She placed her hand under her chin in thought.
"It's 7:50 right now... and the competition starts at 8:00... what do I do with these two without hurting them with a Shadow Claw...?!" Fen complained to herself. After pacing around for a little bit, she sighed; there was one option she could do. She cupped her hands over her mouth and inhaled deeply.
"ATTENTION! IT'S 7:50 A.M YOU SLEEPY BUTTS! GET YOUR ASSES UP BEFORE WE GET AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED!" Fen shouted at the top of her lungs. The girls' eyes fluttered open as they quickly and nervously got up, tossing their blankets to the side. Brooklyn glared at the Dark Type.
"Fen! What the hell was that for?" Brooklyn asked, annoyed that she couldn't sleep for a longer time. Fen pointed at the clock.
"Look, sorry for being a bit rude there, but we're going to be late if we don't get ready now! The Battle Tournament starts in ten minutes from now!" Fen informed. Rose's eyes widened.
"We better get going soon then!" she said, getting out of her bed and rushing towards her bag. Brooklyn groaned, reluctantly getting out of her bed as well and getting her clothes from her bag next to the beds. Suddenly the door opened up, revealing it to be Caden and Shaun, who looked very sleepy.
"Hey... what was the huge ruckus abou-" Shaun stopped his sentence when he realized the situation he and Caden went into.
Because Rose and Brooklyn were both changing into their clothes, you can kind of imagine how awkward this was.
Brooklyn was just about to pull her shirt over her head, revealing her stomach and her chest covered with her sports bra. Rose, on the other hand, already had her shirt off, her light pink crop top that she was going to put on in her hands. Fen was lucky enough to have just started getting ready, or else she would've been in the same situation as Rose and Brooklyn right now. After the silence in the room grew, Caden and Shaun snapped out of their daze and froze in their place. Both of their faces turned bright red as the girls didn't know what to say. Rose then covered her revealed top body with her shirt and screamed, her face crimson red with embarrassment. Brooklyn gritted her teeth, grabbing the lamp next to her and throwing it at Shaun's face. He fell back, hitting the ground loudly. Fen ran over to the door, slamming it shut before Brooklyn could throw anything else. Panting heavily with a cherry colored face, Brooklyn hastily put on her shirt and stood up.
"YOU PERVERTS! YOU BETTER KNOCK NEXT TIME OR ELSE IT'S GOING TO BE A BED FLYING STRAIGHT TOWARDS YOU!" Brooklyn yelled at the door, hoping that the boys heard her. She then crossed her arms and huffed, sitting on her bed. Rose, who's face was still pretty red, just put on her clothes and hastily braided her long, dark pink hair, pretending that what happened earlier didn't happen. Fen sighed, changing into her clothes and grabbing her green cloak that was hanging on the chair she sat in earlier.
As they walked out, Rose and Brooklyn avoided eye contact with Caden and Shaun, still looking pretty angry about what happened. Fen walked over to Shaun.
"Isn't Eric awake?" she asked. Shaun shrugged.
"The kid sleep like a rock, mate. I'm surprised he didn't wake up from your random rampage," he replied. Fen rolled her eyes, walking past him and towards the boy's room. She didn't want anything related with what happened earlier to happen, so she knocked loudly at the door.
"Eric! Get up already! We need to get going!" Fen called. She heard a bunch of noises coming from inside the room, slowly getting louder and closer to where she was standing. Before she could get out of the way, however, the door flung open and she was pushed back by the force that hit her. She fell to the ground, something heavier laying on top of her. She opened up an eye, noticing who it was. Her face then started to heat up as she noticed where his hands were. She slowly looked down, her eyes widening when she was correct. Her nails unconsciously grew sharper as a hazy, dark purple blob formed around it, forming it to look like a claw of some sort.
"Y-You l-little..." Fen muttered. Eric opened his eyes, noticing automatically who he was on top of.
"U-Um... g-good morning, Fen..." Eric said. Fen raised up her arm, her Shadow Claw glowing.
"BASTARD!"
Ten minutes later...
"Look, we said we're sorry, like, twenty times already!"
"Does it look like we want to talk to you?!"
"Rose, I-I'm sorry for what ha-"
"Please don't talk to me right now, Caden."
"I-It was an accident, I swear!"
"Oh shut up. I don't want to hear a single word from you, Eric,"
The boys, who were walking a far distance away from their female teammates, sighed. There was no way they could get them to understand their mistakes. Eric had his left cheek bandaged from Fen's Shadow Claw attack, Shaun's nose was red and swollen because of Brooklyn's lamp, and Caden's right cheek was sore because Rose slapped him before they left.
"Do you think we can ever get them to understand?" Eric asked, rubbing his injury. Shaun shrugged as Caden sighed.
"Who knows how long it'll take? Just be glad their attacks didn't do a lot of damage," Shaun said, folding his arms behind his head. The Dewott boy glared at him.
"Didn't do a lot of damage?! You two should be glad that you weren't the ones being hit with an actual attack! That Shadow Claw took away thirty hit points from me!" Eric complained.
"Oi, quit whining already. If it'll make you feel better, I'll buy you three Oran Berries before our match starts, okay?" Shaun said. "Besides, at least you didn't get hit by a big ass lamp for being a so called 'pervert'." Caden sighed again.
"It was just bad timing. Then again, I think you should have knocked on the door before entering, Shaun. You brought me into fault with your lack of sense," Caden pointed out. Shaun turned around to face Caden, looking straight into his golden colored eyes.
"Caden, whose side are you on now?! Do you really think that I wanted this to happen? It's not my fault that you decided to tag along!" Shaun yelled. Caden shook his head.
"I don't think you understood what I meant. I came with you because I was also being curious about the situation and on what happened, I am on no one's side, and I did not say anything about you wanting anything to happen as it is now. All I said is that you should think before doing something like that again," Caden explained, proving his point. Shaun opened his mouth to speak again, until they were silenced by the loud brass instruments that were blaring and resounding throughout the the entire arena.
"Welcome everyone to the annual Battle Tournament!" the chairman said into a megaphone as the audience's deafening cheers and screams overpowered.
"I am your host and judge, Mr. Oketo, and I am very excited to see what this Battle Tournament has to offer! Let's go through our special judges today" Mr. Oketo turned to face three judges. They stood up and waved to everyone.
"I'm Judge 1, Wolf Winters, a member apart of the Katana Duo. Pleased to meet you all today," Wolf said, bowing as he took his seat.
"I am Judge 2, Jolee Rivers, vice manager and nurse for the Battle Tournament. It's glad to see all of you here today!" Jolee said, taking her seat while smiling brightly at the rest of the audience.
"And I'm Judge 3, Jacob Fernandez, the other member apart of the Katana Duo. Hope you enjoy the competition," Jacob said, sitting down immediately after. Mr. Oketo nodded.
"Alrighty then! Let's get to the competition, shall we?" he said, grabbing a remote control and pressing the fairly large red button on it, turning on the large screen behind him. The match ups showed on the screen, and Fen's eyes widened.
"Wait, wait, why the hell is she competing?!" Fen exclaimed, pointing at a girl on the screen. Caden got interested automatically, trying to see who Fen was pointing to.
"You mean the girl with lilac colored eyes and long brown hair on Team Ruby?" Caden asked. Fen groaned, slapping her forehead.
"How the hell did I miss her on the screen yesterday...?!" she complained, unconsciously creating another Shadow Claw out of anger, causing Eric to hide behind Shaun. Fen let out a long, frustrated sigh as the Shadow Claw dissipated. Eric let out a sigh of relief when she did so.
"Um, may I ask who you are talking about exactly?" Rose asked curiously. Fen pointed at the girl Caden just described.
"Erika Zenon. Liepard. Same age as me. My friend in the past. My enemy in the present," Fen said, her tone sounding sharper with every sentence she said.
"How come?" Brooklyn asked. Fen just shook her head, closing her eyes as her left ear twitched and her orange tail swung to the side. She then opened her eyes, crossing her arms.
"And the devil herself had just decided to come over," Fen growled. Her five teammates turned their heads, their eyes widening when they say the girl Fen said.
"That's her?!" they all exclaimed. Erika smirked, placing a hand on her hip and looking at Fen, not paying attention to Eric and Shaun who were literally drooling over her. Erika wore a white, sleevless shirt with a purple line going down from the middle of it. It had a short slit, revealing her belly button, and she wore black, knee length leggings with black combat boots. Her long brown tail was swaying back and forth while her cat ears were slightly twitching. The purple hairtie that held up her side ponytail matched the color of her eyes that were very cat like. Based on her appearance, she looked like a ninja.
"Oh look who it is. What a great surprise to see you here, Fenny!" Erika said, clapping her hands together. Fen just rolled her eyes, glaring at Erika as her royal blue eyes sparked with hate.
"Shut up, will you? Why are you here anyways? You said fighting isn't your style," Fen said. Erika walked towards her, pushing Shaun and Eric to the side gently.
"Well, there's something called change, honey. And as my change, I decided to try out fighting. Besides, my sword skill lessons would be a complete waste of time for me if I just learned it for nothing, y'know?" Erika said.
"Yeah, like I care. Just watch me beat your ass in the competition," Fen said, smirking. Erika laughed, flicking Fen's forehead, causing Fen to flinch.
"Ohoho, look who's flinching now, hm? I'll love to see that happen. But just to let you know, I'm not going to go easy on you," she said before walking away. Fen placed her hand over her forehead where Erika hit it, cursing under her breath. Shaun and Eric then snapped out of their gaze once Fen broke a table with her tail. Her teammates slowly started to back away from her as her anger grew more and more.
"F-Fen... our match is going to start soon..." Brooklyn pointed out. Fen then started to calm down, the evil aura fading away from her.
"Good. I can release my rage lash out on some people now..." she muttered darkly, sitting on a bench with arms crossed. Everyone else just sighed, glad that she was at least not as frustrated as she was before.
"Are you all ready for the main event...?" Mr. Oketo asked the crowd. The audience replied with a unbelievable roar that resounded throughout the arena. Mr. Oketo smirked, clapping his hands.
"Then let the show begin!"
