I now have a beta reader, so my stories should be better the first time out. I am still taking characters and will be until I give an author's note stating otherwise. Hope you enjoy. There is still one more character I have to introduce before we have our team, and she will be joining us this chapter. ENJOY!


Chapter 3: Jade faces the Heat

The bell rang right as I entered the door. I quickly sat down beside Silver and was ready to take notes on weapon training when I saw the general walk up to the front desk.

Thing just got more interesting. I think.

"Now today did any of you young pupils finish building a weapon design." Ironwood asked. When he asked this I saw only one other hand in the air other than my own.

"How convenient. You two will have a tournament style match right here, right now." He said in commanding tone. I quickly got up and went to the front of class.

Oh crap I am at a serious disability. I can't fly and I have to fight her. I think when I see that my opponent is my old friend Nova Knight.

"Jade how are you?" She asked as she walked up the front.

"I'm not bad." I say quietly.

"It's okay I might go easy on you." She said. I know why she said this, because in all the times we fought when we were younger she would always beat me.

"What is your weapon Miss Knight?" Ironwood asked

"I made a fire sword. I call it Blaze." She said as she pulled it out and it burst into flames.

I'm screwed. I think

"And what do you have Miss Rose?" He asked

"I made chakrams. I named them Garden Rose, but technically they named themselves." I informed him.

"Okay then and BEGIN!" He said as I quickly roll out of the way as Nova came crashing down at me with her sword ablaze.

"Don't you ever slow down?" I ask quickly as I throw one of my chakrams at her and it hits her in the side. I then activate my semblance on the rose to bring it back to my hand.

"Nope." She said as she charged at me quicker than before. I then try to activate my wings only to get a pain in my back and I fall down screaming in pain.

"I didn't do it." Nova quickly said as she raised her hands in defence.

"Her aura suddenly dropped." Ironwood said as he looked up from his aurameter. "Miss Rose is there something you would like to inform me about."

"No I just broke my wing last night and I tried to use it. I forgot it was broken when I was in the heat of the battle." I say.

"Are you going to be okay?" Nova asked as she put Blaze away and knelt down beside me, helping me up.

"No I just need to rest a little bit." I say as I take my seat.

"Is there anyone else who has a weapon and would like to fight Nova?" Ironwood asked the class. I then saw a small hand pop up in the class.

"I would sir." Said a girl. I then saw her bright blue hair and I immediately recognized the girl as Mysti.

"Oh Miss Paars please come up to the front and show us your weapon." Ironwood said to her.

"I have a scepter named Visage. I modified it, but it was originally my mother's." Mysti said softly.

"Okay now BEGIN!" Ironwood said. The next thing I knew Nova went to attack Mysti, but she just attacked nothing.

"Ha I got you." Nova said to nothing.

"No you didn't." Mysti said confidently. She did something to her scepter and then the top of the it started to glow light blue. Mysti then swiped the air and Nova's leg grew ice all around them.

"Why you!" Nova exclaimed as she lit herself on fire and melted the ice.

"And that's not all" Mysti said as Nova started looking at her then nothing.

What's going on? I asked myself Why does Nova keep looking at nothing?

"Which is the real you?" Nova asked Mysti.

"Why would I tell you? Only one person has ever figured out the secret to beating this strategy." Mysti said as her scepter turned green and she swiped the air again. This time instead of Nova getting frozen all of her flames went out.

Mysti's scepter is harnessing dust and she is doing something to Nova's mind to where she sees multiple Mystis. I think to myself. All of the sudden Mysti's scepter glowed blue and she swiped the air once more. This time a giant wave rush out of the end of Mysti's scepter and Nova was engulfed in a ball of water.

"ENOUGH!" Ironwood demanded as Mysti released Nova and she started gasping for air.

"Are you alright Miss Knight?" Ironwood asked

"Yeah I'll be fine." Nova said to Ironwood. "Nice job using your semblance like that. I couldn't tell the difference."

"Lily Rose is the only person to ever figure out the secret, or that's what my mom told me." Mysti said as the bell rung.

"Okay class for homework you have to finish your weapon if you have not already done so." Ironwood said as I left the room in a hurry.

Time for Semblance mastering. I wonder who my teacher will be this time. I think to myself as I dash down the hall as I leave a trail of green rose petals.


I hope everyone likes how this chapter ended up. I have an idea for the main antagonist. I have to give credit where credit is due. The idea for this character came with the help of my friend Austin Canterbury. I know this chapter is shorter than most, but I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions don't hesitate to PM me. I have the character request requirements up on my profile. Forever yours.
