Chapter Four: First Impressions
Kai Sune was livid. During his time at Lux Kai had gone through the entire library's small collection of books that included braille. He'd then taken to effectively reading through other people. This did get annoying at times as the Fox Faunus was an incredibly slow reader but it wasn't the reason for his current state of mind-numbing rage.
The petite pyromaniac who called herself Sabrina and a complete stranger who he could only assume was the new recruit. "What in Oum's name do you think you're doing." He snarled at the duo who were now climbing of the table.
"Kai, Language," Mackenzie told him, a stern look in her eyes.
"Well I'm sorry but I don't give a shit. Me and Glynda were reading and then these idiots show up." He pointed at said idiots as if to emphasise his point while Glynda seemed to become incredibly worried. Probably freaking out about her reading pace as she hadn't accommodated for the Faunus Boy.
"Well first off this wasn't exactly planned." The stranger glared. "And secondly what page?"
"I mean I know that Sabrina's Semblance has its quirks." Kai was sugar coating it. Sabrina's Semblance was a massive inconvenience for almost everyone. "Also what?" Kai was somewhat confused by the other boy's question.
"What page were you on?" Each word came out slowly and clearly almost as if he was talking to a child.
"Uhhh, Glynda?"
The girl almost dropped the book as she fumbled through the pages. "Umm, Uh. Page 52." Glynda replied meekly.
The boy stared intently at the book's cover. "Turn to page 74, if you want something really interesting. It's all on water Dust combinations, talks about how despite receiving little combat application most of its mixes do, like ice and steam. The boy told the two of them, snatching up the book from Glynda and turning to the mentioned page.
He was correct. The page was indeed about water Dust combinations. "How, how did you know that?" Glynda stuttered slightly.
"That's The Basics Of Dust Handling by Severus Snipe." The snowy-haired stranger informed. "I memorised that by age 14. It's pretty basic. Doesn't really go into detail on Dust ratios or composition." He paused for a second. "Names Magnus by the way."
"Well, Magnus." Kai gave an exasperated sigh. "Thank you for the small recommendation which I will take as your apology. You, however." Kai pointed at Sabrina who appeared to be attempting to hide behind Mackenzie. "Apologise now."
Sabrina shook her head. "I'm not apologising, I didn't do nothing."
"Apologise or I'll kick your ass you dwarf." Kai threatened.
"You'll have to catch me first." The twin-tailed trouble maker screamed before reaching for her mirror. "Also call me little again and I'll make sure you won't be able to sleep safely for months." And with that Sabrina blinked out of existence only to reappear in the same spot. "Well shit." She smiled weakly.
It was at this moment that the previously quiet Iona decided to speak up. "Did you just teleport 2 cm. God, that's a new record." The brunette smiled causing everyone else to erupt in laughter.
"Shut up. You're all going to die a very slow and fiery death."
"Sure we will, sure we will," Mackenzie said in an attempt to comfort the shorter girl, pulling her into an embrace.
"I'll murder you all while you're not looking," Sabrina mumbled into the taller girls chest.
At this Kai laughed and considered the tiny teen's threat for a second before turning to face the opposite direction.
"THUNK." Magnus stared in shock. A tiny throwing knife having embedded itself in the floor at Kai's feet. Sabrina had broken Mackenzie's grasp as soon as the Fox Faunus had turned. Throwing the knife faster than any of them had been able to comprehend.
Kai sneered. The anger returning. "That's it, Gym right now." With that, he stormed off with Sabrina skipping after him.
"Are they always like that?" Magnus asked.
Iona sighed, getting out of her chair."Yes, yes they are." She then proceeded to follow the duo with the rest of the group in tow.
The gym door slammed open as Acxa Zazel slipped on her bomber jacket. Looking up she saw both Kai Sune and Sabrina Ose entering only to be followed by Glynda Goodwitch, Iona Theodora, Mackenzie Locasta and an unknown boy whose hair was as white as the snow from her home kingdom.
Her sparring partner. The caramel skinned Chelsea Evanora had only just slipped on her hoodie which was black with an almost obnoxious neon green pattern the girl had painted on to the jacket herself. She was busy tying up her overly messy hair into a just as messy ponytail.
This reminded Acxa to check her own hair. Heading over to one of the mirror walls of the gym. The dark blonde mess she called her hair seemed to be fine. It swept down in wavy curls to just below her right shoulder. Her eyes twinkling a vibrant orange and yellow in the gyms light. Her dark grey jeans covered in orange spirals that were only just visible in the small area between her skirt that ended mid-thigh and the grey steel capped boots covering her feet. Turning to the side she if her earrings were still attached. The overly large studs had a pattern of a diamond with several interwoven lines and an arrow on them.
Acxa was to busy checking that none of her belongings had been damaged in her sparring session that she didn't notice Kai come up behind her. The blonde let out a scream as the boy tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey, I'm gonna go kick your girlfriend's ass, wanna watch?" He asked.
Acxa sighed, calming her nerves. "Sure and she's not my girlfriend she's just a friend. Nothing more, Nothing less."
Kai simply rolled his eyes. "Well, her blatant crush on you disagrees." At this comment, Acxa could see Sabrina blushed a pale crimson.
"Kai get in the ring so I can throw you out of it." She screamed from the background. Kai turned on his heels and headed to the boxing ring in the centre of the gym leaving Acxa to join up with the gathered crowd.
Magnus stood on the side of the boxing ring with the gathered crowd. He thought to himself for several seconds. "Alright well Sabrina gave the rundown on most of you but we never really properly introduced ourselves so once again. I'm Magnus Pheles."
"Well," Glynda muttered. "I'm Glynda Goodwitch."
"I'm Mackenzie."
"I'm Iona." The pale girl said then gestured to the darker skinned girl next to her. "This is my sister Chelsea."
Magnus looked between the two girls in confusion. "Ok sorry if this sounds rude but is one you adopted right."
Iona smiled."Yes"
"So which one is it."
The girl he now knew as Chelsea spoke this time. "Yes."
At this the unintroduced dark blonde began giggling before turning to Magnus. "They both are."
"Oh well, that clears things up. So who're you?" The teen asked.
"Oh me. I'm Acxa Zazel." Magnus's visible eye lit up as soon as she introduced herself.
"Zazel, as in the Zazel?"
"Yes," Acxa informed.
"As in Zazel Engineering?" The boy questioned.
"Uhh Yeah."
"As in your grandfather built the first supercharged Dust engine, Zazel."
"No." At that, the boy's eye lost its twinkle. "My grandmother built the first supercharged Dust engine."
The boy's face became a mask of pure excitement before switching to confusion then back again. "Wait but Jamie Zazel?"
"Yeah, Jamie is a unisex name," Acxa answered, leaning against the raised surface of the ring.
The snowy-haired boy looked like he was going to begin asking more questions before he was interrupted by a voice from the boxing ring.
"Hey, Magnus can you stop fangirling over Acxa," Sabrina yelled.
"Why, because that's your job," Kai shouted at her from the opposite side of the arena.
Sabrina muttered something under her breath that Kai could only just make out. "I fucking wish." Before turning red. "Shut up and fight me." She screeched.
"With pleasure."
The two fighters dropped into their stances. Kai's a more disciplined Kick Boxing stance and Sabrina's. Well Magnus wasn't sure what stance Sabrina was using. Even when she was standing completely still the girl was ridiculously erratic. Bouncing and shuffling on the balls of her feet at a speed that Magnus was only able to keep up with when he activated his Semblance.
Both combatants stared each other down for what seemed like minutes before one of them made the first move. It was Kai. The fox Faunus came charging at the smaller opponent. Sabrina simply stood there, a manic grin on her face. As Kai neared the girl, an azure glow enveloped him as he appeared beside the opponent he had intended to tackle.
Sabrina turned almost immediately, delivering a kick to the boy's kneecaps. The tiny girl continued delivering kicks to the boy while he attempted to guard the seemingly endless barrage. After what seemed like minutes the kicks finally let up as Sabrina dashed to the opposite side of the arena. Kai was given a moment to breathe before his smaller opponent sprinted towards him.
Sabrina suddenly stopped mid-sprint and jumped, spinning herself as she did. The result was a side flip that Sabrina continued as she got closer to Kai. Every time she landed the girl would simply launch off again. As the spinning maniac advanced on Kai her flips began to speed up. The girl reached her target, jumping above him and diving in a kick. Kai simply sidestepped the overly telegraphed attack and grabbed the girls legs as she landed, practically throwing her into the floor.
Sabrina rolled over just in time to receive a haymaker to the head from the Fox faunus. The tiny girl only had just enough time to get her guard up before her opponent began to rain blow after blow onto her face. As the onslaught continued Kai once again started to glow blue.
The boy appeared about a metre away from where he previously was. He quickly scanned the arena only to find his opponent was nowhere in sight.
The boy only had seconds to react when Acxa screamed. "Break his fucking legs."
Turning as fast as he could he saw Sabrina deliver a sweeping kick to his legs before he was knocked off balance. The girl then pirouetted in place and delivered a chop to his elbows before disappearing from view.
Scanning the girls own point of view Kai could see the ground rushing towards her only for her to teleport again mid-air. This time it was not the ground that the girl was falling towards but Kai's own back.
The tiny teleporter landed on Kai and latched her hands around his neck while kicking at his sides. The taller boy struggling to get her loose.
It was during this struggle that both the fighters and onlookers failed to notice the loud click of heels from the outside hallway. The gym doors slammed open with a loud thud as Gloria Goodwitch entered the room with a look on her face that could only be described as mild annoyance.
"Children." She yelled loud enough to gain everyone's attention. Sabrina falling off of Kai. "It is nearly midnight and you all have a big day ahead of you tomorrow. So for Oum's sake please go to bed." She said turning to leave only to be followed by the gathered students.
"I totally won that," Sabrina said.
"Please shut up."
Authors Notes
Alright this has been another short chapter but more Kai screen time and some new Oc's.
The first of these is Acxa Zazel. She's based of Azazel and her emblem which is on her earrings is basically just Azazel's symbol with an arrow.
The other one is Chelsea Evanora. She's Iona's sister which is an allusion to how both of the wicked witches are presented as sisters in some forms of media. Her emblem is the silhouette of a tornado and it's on the side of her jacket. We'll see a bit more of her next chapter.
Now allow me to summarise:
Magnus proves he's a nerd once again.
Severus Snipe. Yes I made that reference.
Glynda is a lot more quiet compared to her adult counterpart.
Mackenzie is mum friend.
Sabrina doesn't make empty threats.
Acxa and Chelsea being in the gym is a slight hint to both of there weapons.
It is that easy to confirm a character's sexuality.
Magnus has another nerd moment.
Sabrina fights using Capoeira if anyone was wondering.
I feel like Acxa and Nora will get on great.
