"Stella! Focus on hitting your opponent! Lock your knees and push!" Screamed the commander, angry at her form
It has been a couple weeks since she was caught with lance in the field, and since she was furious with Baron. Well she still was, and she made sure he knew that by ignoring him everywhere she went. If he tried to talk to her, it was magic jelly on his mouth to keep it shut. Too bad it only lasts a couple hours, then the cycle begins again.
Right now she had to worry about combat training. The other person was Katy and she was trying to knock her down off of the hanging ring things on the ceilings with his staff. Every move she made the Katy kept trying to make her unbalance and fall. This made her get angry. She could feel her temper going to the roof. Magic within boiling in rage waiting to be released. She swung and the other guy made it fall out of her hands. Smirking she pressed her staff against her to push stella off.
"Had enough, pixie?" She asked, pushing her more and more to the edge
"Pixie!?"
That did it. Stella looked at Katy with pure anger and her eyes glowed with lights. Her hands glowing as well. Katy looked scared out of his wits, she was shaking! Stella growled and tackled her off along with herself. That moment she realized what was happening and snapped out of it. Katy was still screaming and turned on her jet pack flying away from her.
Stella transformed to her fairy form and landed safely next to the bully.
" What was that, Stella!? That was out of formation solider!" The commander screamed
"Sir, you don't understand. Katy called me "Pixie"! She pointed at the bully and sulked
"Inexcusable! So what if she calls you pixie! I'll call you pixie anytime I want!"
"Commander that name is offensive to fairies . Long story. But it's uncalled for!"
"I don't care! Now back in formation, pixie!"
Stella groaned and stood next to lance. This day is not going well at all for her. First Katy put a dead mouse in her shoes, then made her spill oatmeal on lances lap, now she's in trouble for tackling down Katy.
" Now stella, your next test is in flying obstacles. You will be against baron." The commander said
Oh great. Baron. The fairy thought. But lucky for her, flying is her specialty she is a fairy after all. Getting the jet pack on was difficult for her, so lance strapped her in for her. There were so many buckles: leg, arm, wrist and back buckles. The reason for the wrists is that way if the jet pack fails, if the user spreads their arms emergency plane-like wings will appear and the user could hang glide to safety.
"Now stella, are you sure you can do this? You've only been here two weeks." said lance
"I'm sure. Commander is already down my neck with my form. I can't go from princess material to solider crud in a flash!"
"Hey!"
" Sorry. But still-" she cut off when lance was buckling the chest part in. Her heart was pumping so hard and she could feel herself getting red. She looked up at lance in shocked. He looked at her with confusion
"What?"
"Um... You might want to see where your hands are."
His widen as he looked down to see where they were and snatched them away. In a few seconds his whole face was red.
" I'm so sorry I didn't know-"
" Whoa lance get your hands off of her sicko." Said baron who was watching them. His jet pack was already on him and he looked impatient. Walking over he pushed lance away from stella.
"The princess would not tolerate pervs like you. She doesn't want your filthy hands over her." He kept going on
"Baron he wasn't trying to do anything he was helping me with the pack. Why don't you stick your big nose out of everyone's business? "
Soldiers around was oooing, wondering what the white haired had to say. Baron was starting to get a little irked at the fairy. No one messes with Baron Star and gets away with it.
" Enough you two! Quit being little kids and start your position!" ordered the commander
The two readied their positions.
" Get ready to lose pixie" mumbled Baron
" Oh stop griping Star." responded stella
"Ready, Set, Go!"
Stella had a kick start and was already ahead of Baron. The course was simple: fly through all the rings in the room and land safely back to finish. The rings were in zig zag form for a reason. Stella was already quarterly done and was doing a flew flying moves, impressing everyone below. That was Baron's chance to get the lead and plunged forward to the fairy, making her spin. Once she got back into control, baron was already half way to the finish line. She growled and flew towards him a full speed. At the right moment, she pushed him aside with her magic and flew as fast as she could. Baron though didn't want to lose this fight. So he kicked her jet pack, letting it dent and it started to sputter. Fire and engine fuel was pouring out, till it ignited and exploded.
Everyone was in was unconscious and severely hurt. She was falling from a great distance. Realizing what he's done to his crush, he flew down to save her. Until lance, now in his manus armor, flew in and caught her in time. By then stella opened her eyes and looked around. Lance quickly turned his armor off and cradled her in his arms.
"Lance? What happened?" she asked weakly.
Baron flew down and ran to her
" There was an accident and your jet malfunctioned. Are you ok?"
" Baron your such a liar!" yelled lance." You caused this to happen. Now look what you've done. She's hurt. Thanks to you!" Anger was pouring out of lance. He wanted to kill him right now for hurting his crush. Right now all he wanted to do is to make sure his enemy doesn't get near the fairy
"What are you talking about lance? I saw the whole thing. The jet malfunctioned. Baron wasn't near stella." The commander said. " You have no proof."
" Always trying to get me in trouble lance", remarked baron
Lance got an idea and looked at stella.
" Stella you saw what happened you were up there"
" It's true commander"
" Baron would never do such a thing. He's a good boy. Stop playing games princess." and the commander started to walk away. " Class dismissed. And lance, take care of the princess wounds"
" Yes sir" he waited for everyone to leave, then looked at stella with sympathy. " Can you get up?"
" I'll try." the fairy tried to stand up but her legs were like noodles and she fell back to lances arms.
" Come on. I know something that will help your wounds."
" The nurse?"
He chucked. " No. This stuff works better than the nurse's medicine" and so he picked her up and carried her out of the academy...
