Hi guys I'm back with another chapter! With this chapter this is now officially my longest story. Yay! :) Well enjoy :)
Betrayal of Nakama: chapter 7
Riku's POV
Ok this obviously wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, now that Rufus knows my magic he can fight me with it. But I still have a couple tricks up my sleeve, but I want to keep it hidden as much as possible.
"Is this the best you can do?" Rufus taunted.
"Oh shut up, I'm not used to fighting my own power." I said.
As he continued attacking I started thinking of all the other tricks that my powers could do.
I could attack him using the poison from that plant over in the other clearing, or I could attack him from the air like an eagle, I don't know. Oh! I know what to use.
"What's that smirk for?" Rufus asked.
"Because I know how to take you down." I replied.
"Yeah ri..."
I attacked using the disappearing of an iguana and the claws of a tiger. He literally couldn't see me coming.
"Hey! That's not fair I didn't know you could do that!" Rufus said indignantly.
"I showed you my powers, It's not my fault if you can't figure out all aspects of nature." I smirked.
"Hey that was good, now that we know your power and how well you can wield it, we know what we have to work on." Rogue said.
"Cool. So what do I have to work on?" I asked.
"You need to work on control. You tend to use an attack that is either too weak or too strong." Rogue said.
"Ok." I replied.
"Good to start with we will put you through a series of trials and you have to use a proper attack, one that isn't too strong or weak. Try and judge the danger and strength of your opponent before attacking. That should help." Rogue explained. "Rufus will use some of his magic to make fighting dummies that will attack you."
"Got it, Let's go." I said.
At first I would either destroy Rufus's 'dolls', or barely even land a scratch, but as time went on I got better and better at judging the 'dolls' strength.
"Good job, you are doing much better and I think that should be all for today, otherwise you will end up draining all your magical energy." Rogue said.
"Ok no problem." I replied.
As I was about to walk away Rufus suddenly called out:
"Hey, good work today. It went really well."
And Rogue called:
"Get a good nights rest or you'll be too tired to train tomorrow."
"Ok, Thanks see you guys tomorrow." I called back.
After I got back to mine and Lucy's current apartment I went around town and made sure none of Jean's men were here. I got back to the apartment around nine and found Lucy just sitting on the couch with a journal.
"What's that, your diary?" I asked.
"No, I'm writing a story and this is part of my latest chapter." She replied.
"Oh cool. What's it about?" I asked.
"I can't tell you, you'll have to find out latter." She said.
"Ok fine." I pouted. "So, how was training?"
"Good I got twin swords and learned how to use them. And I built up my endurance to." She replied.
"That's good." I said.
"How about you? How was your training?" She asked.
"It was good, I learned how to use more control when fighting. Rogue doesn't think I need a lot more training." I answered.
"Oh cool, then you can come watch my training tomorrow!" Lucy said happily.
"Maybe. But for now we should rest." I said.
"Aye!" She responded and went off to her room.
Ok! I'm done with another chapter :) Yay! I hope you enjoyed and look forward to the next chapter :) Also I'm sorry for any grammatical errors, my computer was spazzing out at me while I was typing. See ya!
