It was a beautiful day for a walk. It was shining bright in the mid afternoon sun. The temperature wasn't too bad either as it was sort of a warm autumn. This wonderful weather was being appreciated by both Skei and Astrid, the members of Team Moonlight. The two of them were at a local park near the school. Since they weren't actual students there, they were free to roam wherever they so pleased.
"Astrid, the weather is great in Nex isn't it?" Skei said.
"Yes it's definitely much more preferable than our kingdom. It rains here just the right amount. It's very sunny, but not too hot. Nex also has the privilege of getting all four seasons. Nex really is a nice kingdom," Astrid said.
"You forgot to mention the thriving commercial scene as Nex is the largest trader out of all the four kingdoms, being placed in between all of them. There's always an opportunity for a job making it a great kingdom to earn a good living. It'd be a nice place to start a family with you," Skei said.
"Yeah it would... Huuuuuh?! YOU TINY DUMMY! I'd never do something so indecent with you!" Astrid yelled. There was a large blush that struck across her face.
Skei was staring off into the distance when he noticed something very interesting. He saw some of the students that he watched battle yesterday. There was Chara, Ivan, Amity, Owen, Winston and Wendy. It seems they were all exercising for sparring class.
"Hey Astrid, I'm going to say hi! See you in a bit ok," Skei quickly said. He extended his wings and with a hard swing of his arms. He ended up making a large dust cloud completely engulfing his partner. Astrid covered her face as a result.
(-0-)
Chara like usual was ahead of the entire class including the teacher. She looked behind her to see everyone drenched in sweat from their hour run, but she could still do so much more.
"That's not fair! Why do Arcanines have a lot of natural stamina?!" Winston yelled. He wanted to throw up so badly, but he knew that if he did. Professor Lilly would make him do even more running.
Wendy was extremely focused unlike how she is in her usual academic studies. Since this wasn't battling she could just let her mind relax and not think about her father at all.
Once the class had reached their destination they basically all collapsed. Chara was cooling down with a light jog around the park. Everyone just stared at her, no matter how active she was it always took everyone by surprise how much stamina she had.
That's when suddenly Skei dropped down from above and joined the class in their rest. "Hey guys what's up! Astrid and I were in the area nearby when we saw you. So I decided to say hi! Anyway what's going on? You guys just exercising?".
"Yeah we are, and I hate running so much!" Winston complained. He laid down on the soft grass, which Skei quickly joined him.
"Why don't you fly then? You have wings you know," Skei said.
Winston looked away from Skei's line of sight. There was a slight blush across his face. "Well actually I'm afraid of heights,".
Skei bursted out into a complete storm of laughter. "AH HAHAHA! HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SCARED OF FLYING?! Y-YOU'RE A FLYING TYPE AND YOU HAVE WINGS!".
"I've just always been afraid of heights. Let's just leave it at that ok," Winston said. Quickly recovering Winston sat right back up. "So what are you even here for?".
"Oh right I wanted to have a battle with Chara or Owen since they did win the sparring match I saw. I just want to test out what they can do," Skei said. He walked over to Chara who had just finished her light jog.
Chara was standing with her partner Owen. They were just having a casual conversation about their individual lives until Skei went to go say hi. Skei pushed Owen right out of the way to talk with Chara.
"Hey pal, can't you see that I'm talking with my partner!" Owen yelled.
"Yeah yeah whatever. Anyway Chara, I was wondering if you would like to have a one on one battle with me. It'd just be a little sparring match nothing too serious," Skei said.
"Hold on, I've never done a one on one battle since we don't practice them here in Nex. I would be at a huge disadvantage against someone from Nul, where one on one battles are quite common," Chara said.
"I've ran over your move set of flamethrower, fire blast, extreme speed and flame wheel. I'm pretty sure you'll do fine in a one on one against me," Skei said.
Chara looked back at Owen and weighed out her options. Owen was against the idea, but Chara kind of wanted to see what someone who hailed from Nul could do. She nodded her head towards Skei signifying that she accepted his challenge.
There was a local battlefield nearby. The field was much larger than what Skei was used to as apparently the battlefields in Nex were much larger than the ones in Nul. Chara got a supporting fist bump from her partner before stepping out onto the field. Professor Lilly and everyone else in the class began to pay very close attention to the battle that was about to take place.
There was a large amount of tension in the air. Although this was purely a sparring match, they could tell that Chara and Skei planned on making this match a serious showdown. Chara entered her usual battle stance leaving no openings while Skei just stood there hands in his pockets completely exposing his entire body.
"Alright Chara I'm ready whenever you are," Skei calmly said.
Chara nodded as she engulfed her entire body in a pillar of flames. The flames quickly wrapped around her entire body as she rolled up into a wheel. She charged at Skei with incredible speed, she was about to make contact, but Skei quickly moved over to dodge. Chara wasn't done though as she quickly turned back around and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Skei was met with a powerful jab right to the back of the head completely knocking him off balance. "What the hell?! I didn't even see her approach, she must have used extreme speed,". Skei thought.
Chara ran right into Skei pushing against him with her arms hopping for a ring out. Chara's superior height and strength proved to be too much as she started to push Skei back. "How you like that Skei!" Chara grunted.
"You're much better than what I had initially thought," Skei scowled. He quickly forced his knee right into Chara's groin making her gasp for air. Skei quickly turned his body landing a powerful round house kick into Chara's jaw line knocking her down.
He jumped up into the air and descended with his foot out. He slammed his foot right into Chara's back digging her body into the ground. He picked Chara up by the hair and quickly shoved his knee right into her face.
Chara's face swelled up from the impact, the light breeze that touched her face stung quite a bit making her wince from the pain. She clenched her stomach in agony. She lifted up her head and launched out a large stream of flames at Skei.
Skei quickly flew up into the air. He twisted his body landing yet another powerful kick right into Chara's head. He clenched onto Chara's arm swinging her right into the ground to be met with a powerful kick which sent her skyward. Skei quickly leaped up into the air as his fangs grew a significant size. He crunched down on Chara's toro making the poor girl scream in absolute agony. He whipped his head sending Chara straight into the ground.
Chara was about to get right back up, but suddenly her ears began to burn like hell. It felt as if her ears were breaking from an immense pressure. There was a loud sound ringing in her ears almost that of a loud bell sound.
Chara was on the ground covering her ears desperately trying to get up, but the pain was just too great. "HELP HELP SOMEONE HELP ME! IT... IT... IT BURNS HELP!" She screamed. Tears streamed down her face as the pure horrific pain from her ears were too much to bare.
Chara desperately clawed her way to the edge of the battlefield getting herself a self caused ring out. As soon as her ring out was declared the burning in her ears stopped. The entire class stood there in absolute shock as one of their best battlers were screaming for help a few moments ago.
Owen quickly ran to his partner. "Here Chara, have this sitrus berry it'll help ease the pain. What happened at the end of the battle?" He asked.
"Owen, I actually don't know, but the ears on top of my head just started to burn. They're still ringing actually," Chara said.
Owen stood up and gave Skei a strong glare "Hey pal I'm up next! This fight will be for my partner!". Owen didn't blink as he stared right into Skei's piercing ivory eyes. Thoughts of anger rushed through his entire body. "It's you and me let's go,".
"Fine I accept your pointless challenge," Skei smirked.
Author Notes: Well what did you guys think of this chapter. I'd love to know also don't worry Owen vs Skei will happen in the next chapter I can promise you that.
Ok now onto something about OC's. I'm still accepting OC's for this fic right now there are 4 slots left for them. So please keep them coming. There are still some people that I haven't responded back, so I'd just like to let them all know that if I didn't respond back within a week it's because I don't see your character to be fit as a main character, but more of a secondary character.
Also the reason some OC's aren't getting introduced right away is simply because I still need team partners for them. If you really want I never said 1 OC per person so you know what that means. Go ahead and submit more OC's if you want.
