Rhea didn't feel right following this man, but she also didn't want to be left alone in this place that looked like Hell. She hurried to meet up with him and follow him into the cave. It was glowing as orange red as the lava as it was illuminated by lanterns on the walls. Scorpion got to the middle of the cave, a good distance from the entrance and turned to her.
"Okay. Show me what you know," he said.
Rhea didn't say a word and didn't move either. She stared at him confusedly.
"Well?" he snapped. She jumped a little.
"Um… I know nothing. I know nothing of this tournament. I don't have any powers. I don't know who I am or where my ancestry comes from," she admitted.
"And they put you with me…" he said, sounding almost disappointed.
She was now getting frustrated. "Well, if you want me to, I can just find a way through this on my own. It's not like I want to be around you either—" she immediately silenced herself realizing that her attitude was too much sometimes, especially in front of these people that didn't seem like people at all.
Scorpion seemed offended by this as he rolled his eyes and took a few steps away from her. She didn't move a muscle. When there was about ten feet in between them, he turned around and positioned himself in what looked like a fighting stance. Rhea tensed up as fear took over her entire body. He was about to fight her and she had no idea what she was doing.
He stared at her for a few seconds behind his glowing eyes. Her attention immediately turned to his hand that was up, his palm facing her. A slit formed in it, and a sharp, pointed, metal spear came through it. Three sharp prongs emerged from the sides of the spear, and suddenly, the man let out a booming, "GET OVER HERE!" and the spear shot from his hand towards Rhea at great speed. Just centimeters before it reached her, she threw herself on the ground, catching the weight of her body on her wrists. She looked behind her to see the spear coming back at her now, and she ducked.
When it got back to Scorpion, Rhea got so frustrated that she let out a huge cry of anger that echoed throughout the cave. Scorpion's eyes widened as a great bolt of lightning came crashing down, shocking him with incredible voltage, making him fall to his knees. He put his hands on the ground and his head down and began to pant heavily. Rhea's jaw dropped and she was once again frozen in place.
When Scorpion finally steadied his breathing, he said, "I thought you didn't know anything!" His voice was demanding and angrier than usual.
"What? I don't! That wasn't me!" She ran to his aid.
"There's no one else here!" He pulled his arm away from her and got to his feet on his own.
