Chapter Four

The Secret Reviled

It had been two weeks since Seala got back in her own bed. It was calm and still inside the MegaRobot. All rooms were still, except for one room. One that has not been occupied for a month until two weeks before. Seala twisted and turned in her bed. Silent screams in her head.

Seala's Nightmare…

"Ah! No! Don't!"

A villain that was her size was slicing. You could hear the screams of her teammates and the HyperForce. Seala couldn't move, it was like she was glued to her spot.

"Face me! Fight me!" She screamed.

The villain turned around slowly and Seala saw herself with blood red eyes.

Back in her room…

"No…no…NO!"

Seala screamed awake and hit her head on the glass of her bed. After a moment the glass lifted open and Seala fell out. The door opened to her room.

"Seala, are you okay? We heard-Seala?" Melodie said running in and over to Seala on the floor.

"Are you alright?" Gizmo asked.

Seala got to her knees holding her head.

"I think so. Oh, my head."

"Let me look." Melodie said. Melodie looked at Seala's head and there was a slight scratch. "No damage. Just a scratch. Seala, have you been having nightmares?"

"Me? No, no, no Melodie."

"Then why were you on the floor?"

"I hit my head getting out?"

"Seala, please?"

"I just…don't want to talk about it."

"Alright. But whenever you want to talk about it…"

"Thank you."

Then everyone left and went back to bed. The next day the teams met outside the two robots as the usual day.

"Morning!" Carbon greeted.

"Morning Carbon." Nova greeted back.

"Shall we get to school?" Melodie asked.

"Yeah. So far, school seems kinda fun."

"Really?" Gizmo asked Nova.

"Yeah. Gym class is a blast, and Art is amazing and I kinda like English."

Gibson stood waiting for Seala when he saw she was in back of the group. So he ran to catch up with her.

"Hi Seala." Seala looked at him and then ran to the other side of the group. Gibson followed after a moment. "So…um…I was wondering. Would you like-" Seala shook he head. "I didn't ask anything yet."

"I…uh…I've got plans. Sorry Gibson. Maybe some other time?"

"Sure. Anytime you want, just say it."

They arrived at school and went about their usual schedules. After school, everyone met outside the gymnasium.

"Where's Seala?" Elella asked.

No one knew. That's when they heard something down the hall. It was music. Everyone rushed toward the sound. The music brought them to the other side of the gymnasium, where the ice rink was.

"I didn't know the school had an ice rink! Come on! Let's go see what's going on!" Elella said running inside.

As Elella ran in she stopped dead in her tracks followed by everyone else.

"Whoa! This is amazing!" Gizmo said.

"Yeah. Hey, what's going on down there?" Nova asked.

Down on the rink there was someone skating and landing just right, or so it looked like. Everyone went down to get a closer look, they went down to the front row.

"Is that…Seala?" Nova asked.

"She's at it again Blaze." Melodie said.

"That'd be right."

"Seala knows how to skates?" Elella and Gizmo asked.

"Uh…duh! Why else is she down there?"

"Ah!" A scream came from the ice.

Everyone looked and saw Seala had fallen down.

"Dang it! I can't land it! What am I doing wrong?" Seala said trying to get up.

"Seala!" Melodie shouted over.

Seala looked over and started to panic.

"What are you doing here?" Seala asked skating over.

"We followed the music." Melodie said.

"Hey Seala. You're pretty good." Carbon said.

"Yeah. Can you teach me?" Gizmo asked.

"I wasn't good at all. I can't land that one trick."

"Well, how's it supposed to be done?" Elella asked.

"I'd show you, but I can't land it."

"Try again." Gibson said.

"But-"

"Just try it." Gibson kissed her cheek. "Just once."

Seala blushed.

"Uh…okay. It's supposed to go like this." Then Seala tried her trick again and landed it! "Ah! No way! I did it!"

"Way to go Seala!" Blaze shouted.

"Thanks Blaze."

"I wanna try." Gizmo said.

"Alright. Come down here." Gizmo came down on the ice. "Hold my hand and stay close."

"Alright." Then Gizmo and Seala glided over to the other side where a closet was.

After a few moments, they came back over.

"Look at me! I can skate!"

"Gizmo, you're gliding, not skating."

"What's the difference?"

"Just follow me. Ready?"

"You bet'cha!"

"Good. Now just copy what I do." Seala skated far away and around the ice and then did a spin in the air. She landed it perfect and skated back over to Gizmo and stopped. "Alright. Just try that first. And don't get upset if you don't get it at first. It took me just yesterday to get it."

"Alright. Here I go."

Gizmo tried to do it, and as she was going to spin her left skate got tangled in the right and she fell on her face. Seala skated over.

"You alright Gizmo?"

"I think so. I guess you make it look easy."

"You wanna try it again?"

"Yeah. Here I go!"

Then Gizmo tried it again, but the same thing happened.

"Oh dear. Gizmo!"

"I'm good!"

"I think you're good for the day."

"Yeah. Will you teach me some more?"

"Maybe." They skated back over to the others. "I got a competition coming up, and I really need to practice."

"Aw…"

"Maybe after the competition, okay?"

"Alright! I'll be ready!"

"Good."

"Hey, can we come to the competition too?" Chiro asked.

"Sure. I was going to ask tonight anyways. I've already got the tickets for you."

"In your bag?" Melodie asked.

"Yeah."

"Seala! No talking! You have a routine to practice!" A woman called.

"Sorry coach!" Seala called and then looked back at the others. "I gotta practice."

"Can we stay?" Nova asked.

"Uh…Hey coach?"

"Yes Seala?"

"Can my friends stay to watch?"

"As long as they don't distract you from your practice anymore!"

"Okay!" Seala turned back to the others. "You think you can stay quiet for me to practice?"

"How quiet?" Otto asked.

"Just a whisper."

"We can do that Seala." Carbon said.

"Thank you."

Then Seala skated back to the center and waited. The lights lowered and some fast music started up. About an hour later, Seala stopped practicing and skated to the locker room to change.

"She is amazing Melodie!" Antauri said.

"Yeah. And I can't wait for this weekend."

Everyone went home after Seala changed and went to sleep after they did their homework.
