Chapter 7
Rage
"So today's the first day of IS training for me, eh?" Jordan thinks, looking up at the sky. Cecilia, Rin, and Houki stand there, talking and training Ichika, and he's starting to get sick of it. While Charles and Ichika start a spar he comes in with a blind fury. "Alcott!"
"Who has the nerve to call me- Jordan?!" She looks at him and then turns away and ignores him as the battle finishes.
As it ends, Jordan screams in furiosity. "That's it, fight me right now you pompous, dense, little brat!"
"What is this sudden anger for?" She asks.
"The constant ignoring, and all the stuff I've said and done, and you've never noticed!" He looks her straight in the eye.
"Then fine, let's do this, I'll show you what you get for insulting me!" She scoffs.
They go to the next arena and Jordan stands in his area, alone. "Honestly, she's such an idiot." He says out loud, not noticing that Ichika had just come in.
"Who is an idiot?" He asks.
"Cecilia, she's so stinkin dense." Jordan says, not even caring that Ichika heard his embarrassing words. "I've even confessed to her multiple times. You know, I really hate trains."
"Oh, I thought you two really were like that." Ichika smiles.
"No dip sherlock!" Jordan says and they both laugh.
"Well, seems like you're ready, get out there dude." Ichika smiles.
Jordan touches his red droplet necklace and activates his IS but is barely noticeable in the dark room, but soon, Jordan bursts into the light. " Are you ready? Or should I go into warrior mode and give you a handicap?" He says with a sidelong glance.
"You'll regret that! You shouldn't be underestimating me!" She yells. She studies his IS. The cannon is there, but not on the other side. His sai spikes are on both arms and one of his eyes is covered by a reticle attached to the cannon. Spikes travel up his arms but are segmented, like vertebrae. His feet look like a manual saw and his IS is pure red. He rushes backwards and then lets his sai spikes detach and then split into three, connected by red lightning that also goes through the middle, like altitudes or medians of a triangle. They shoot and chase after Cecilia and then Jordan's IS transforms. It turns into a ball and rams into Cecilia, making direct contact. She flies back and shoots her drones, and Jordans drones counter hers as he transforms back.
One of the spikes on the side of his hand go into his palm and a warning sign shows up on Cecilia's screen. Warning: Draining laser type projectile. The spike goes through some of Cecilia's sniper shots- no- absorbs them. A red aura shows slightly around the black-striped red spike and then it goes straight into blue tears. The aura starts glowing and getting brighter, then it detaches from her, leaving her paralyzed. The spike takes aim and fires a large blast, another direct hit. Red Blood transforms again, into a more defended, and thick, shape, like that of a medieval soldier. He takes out two swords, one shaped like a long, flat ended zweihander, with tiny spikes at the end and in big, blood red letters down from the top to the bottom, it says, "Tormentor" and then another, with a curved end and spikes sticking out of the blade. In black letters it says "Punisher". He swings the spiked one and a crescent shaped blast lands on top of her and explodes. He then holds out the flat edge sword and a huge light starts coming from it- no- coming into it, from the IS itself. A huge red blast hits her right on the chest, bringing her down to zero, making her lose the duel.
"B-But… I-I'm a representative contender! I am the elite of the elite!" She frowns, surprised.
"Well, this IS was given to me right after Ichika got his. And it had only one goal set in mind for it. This is Red blood, a generation 3.5 IS, and it was made to specifically counter Blue tears. My drones are better than your drones. My cannon is better than your missiles, and my Atomic Lasers suck out energy, like that of your rifle." Jordan looks her in the face and holds out his hand.
"Wait, your IS is a perfect rival for mine?" She tilts her head, confused.
"Exactly, there's only one way to beat me in your case." He says, looking at her with a cocky sideways glance.
"And that is?!" She asks.
"W-Well, you'd have to catch me off gaurd, o-of course." He blushes.
"And how would I do that?" She asks.
"W-well, for you, I know of only one way…" He starts scratching his cheek.
"And that is?" She looks up at him with a smile, trying to predict the answer.
"Y-you could…" He breathes in heavily, and then closes his eyes. "You could be my girlfriend!" He immediately looks away, not noticing her blushing.
"Well, I-I wouldn't mind…" She says.
"R-Really?" He asks.
"N-Not at all." She replies. "B-But, I think you should let me think about it all first…"
"I can wait for you forever." Jordan smiled and tilted his head.
Cecilia's heart jumped, the idiot finally confessed to her! Well, he had before but that train kept getting in the way. The only reason he took her there every time is because he thought it was the most secret place, which it was, where he could be alone with her, but he was always interrupted, and by the looks of the train, it was always the same stinking train.
"So, what were you saying?" Cecilia asked, just wondering if it wasn't just in her head.
"I was practically saying…" Jordan sighs " I-I love you Cecilia."
"Okay. I-I just wanted to make sure." She smiles happily. "But, if I did say yes, where would you take me on our first date?"
"Well… There's this british restaurant down the street. I could hold you in my hands on my IS and we could fly there. Like a prince escorting his princess." Jordan starts scratching his cheek again.
At those words Cecilia's heart leapt up into the air. "That's right, you're my prince. And now it's time to tell you I want to be your princess. But I-I think I'll tell you tomorrow." She thought.
Hey guys, Nicoli Rose here, so, little bit of a question. I feel like these last two chapters don't make sense a bit. Would you guys like for me to look them over and change it to make more sense, or should I stick with how it was when I posted it on my Orionrage29 profile?
Secondly, I wanna bring back the poll idea. I'll present a list of the ideas I had after this little bit.
Thirdly, Q and A! I'm always open to questions, once work is over.
