Chapter 9 Scaleyarse is going down
Stephoine shows the boys the note she just for from Showgrid. "He just sent it, he would like all of us to come over to see him later on…" She explained.
Hunter sighed. "Damn Rando… why the hell did he and his dad have to go and do this! Wingspan was a kick ass creature!" Hunter sighed.
"Oh… and Chris… I'm REALLY sorry about Nibbles" Stephoine stated. Chris nodded and let out a smirk.
"I'm sorry to, come to think of it, if your cat didn't get Nibbles, I think Helmsley would have. I have no idea why your pets hated him!" Chris replied. Hunter smiled knowing everything is back to normal with his friends. They continued their classes; as a matter of fact they had their mythical creature's class next. Showgrid was in no mood to teach.
"I have been told that Wingspan will be put down…" he explained, the class felt sad… all but Rando, Batista and Ric were upset about this loss.
Rando stood up. "About damn time! That thing nearly killed me!" he yelled out.
"Rando… that wouldn't be the first time, for someone trying to take you out" Called out Chris.
"Shut up!" Rando shot back.
There wasn't much they had learned today in that class. Showgrid always had to take a moment to step outside to regain him self, when class finished. Stephoine over heard Rando talk about how big of a baby Showgrid was. "What a wuss, over some dumb creature!" he stated. Stephoine handed Hunter her books as she approached Rando and his lackeys.
"You damn little pissant son of a…" Before Steph even finished her sentence, her fist met Rando's face. She knocked him out! Hunter and Chris dropped their books in shock.
"Damn… that was one mean right hook" Chris grinned. Steph turned to Batista and Ric. They just picked up Rando and ran. She looked back to her friends with the biggest grin she has had in a long time.
"Damn… that felt really good!" Stephoine took her books back from Hunter and went on her way.
Chris and Hunter stood there in aw. "Remind me never to piss her off," he whispered to Hunter.
"I will if you remind me" Hunter replied back. They went to their charm class, and much to their surprise Stephoine wasn't there! The class flew by quickly as Hunter and Chris began to look for her. Hunter got Helmsley to help, Helmsley could smell her miles away, and he found her in the main common room passed out on the table!
"Oh dear God… HBK got to her!" Chris freaked. Hunter noticed the slight drool coming from Steph's mouth.
"Naw, she's just tired. She's passed out!" he replied. He gently shook her wake. Steph snapped out of it and looked around the room. "Hey sleepy head. You missed Charms class" Hunter explained, Stephoine didn't seem worried, so they headed to Professor Kim's class. They were a little late however it didn't really noticed; the class was staring into a crystal ball. They took their seats and Professor Kin gave her lesson.
"I see something in here for Stephoine… She will fail her classes, all of them. And never to appear at Ringwarts again" she call out. Steph wasn't fazed. "Hunter Potter, I have another message for you… a grim message!" she called out.
"OH CAN IT WITH THE GRIM MESSAGES!" Stephoine shot back, the group gasped at her outburst. "I MEAN IT, SCREW YOU AND YOUR CRYSTAL BALL!" with that she stormed out of the classroom! Hunter turned to Chris who was just as shocked.
"Dude… we're rubbing off on her. She needs some girlfriends!" he smirked. Hunter lost it then and there.
Later that Night, Hunter was studying for exams, however his mind was elsewhere. Fidget finals were tomorrow against Scaleyarse. Hunter grinned at his lightning blot hammer was all set to go, there was a storm recently and it was just charged. "Oh we are going to smoke them huh?" he asked his lightning bolt. However a quick snap of Helmsley's tail brought Hunter out of it! "OW!" Hunter looked down seeing Helmsley get jealous once again. "Sorry little guy, but this is a big match tomorrow. Besides don't you want me to kick Rando's ass?" Hunter asked him. Helmsley cooed to him in agreement. "That's my bud! Now I suppose we need sleep. So let's call it a night and hit the bed" Hunter got into bed and tried to sleep. But he kept thinking about how much he and the team were going to win tomorrow. But as soon as he settled down from the though, he started to have Nightmares. Something was coming after him, and no matter what he did, he couldn't stop them. He could hear his parents screaming for help, begging not to be killed.
Then he heard a deep voice call to him. "Harry… You will know soon enough" Hunter woke, only to see Helmsley growl to the window. Hunter opened the blinds and was stunned to see a black panther look back at him! Hunter ran to get Chris, yet when he turned back around…the panther was gone…
"Damn… I got to lay off the water before bed, must be something in the plastic" Hunter signed as he went back to bed and tried to get some sleep.
GAME DAY!
Hunter had just finished lacing up when Kane called a group meeting. "ALRIGHT LISTEN UP!" he called out, everyone focused on him. "We got a hell of a game, and we know damn well what those guys will do to win and beat us. They will try and take us out one by one… Just remember this… We are smarter than them… We are more cunning, and we will hand them their Asses on a silver platter!" Kane yelled out getting the guys pumped. "We have a slight change in plans, they have a new guy by the name of Heidenreich. We have seen his size, but we have never seen him play. They are pulling out all the stops, so let's do the same. Don't be afraid to play dirty. ALRIGHT!" Kane called. The guys cheered back all set to play. Hunter stood up with his Lightning Bolt Hammer in hand.
"Now, I wanna say something… Rando's ass is mine!" he grinned, the guys smiled and agreed as they made their way out onto the field. Hunter did his usual pose and stuff for the Griffengree house. Kane just rolled his eyes at him.
"You know if I had my own entrance, I would make fire come from the roof tops or some sort of place with four corners" he told Hunter after his pose.
Hunter smirked. "What's stopping you?"
Kane signed. "The fire code" he replied as he got onto the field. Hunter got on the Lightning Bolt and flew around once to show off. Scaleyarse soon followed with Heidenreich as their new captain.
"This is gonna be fun" stated Stevie in a sarcastic overtone.
Kane just rolled his eyes at him. "Stevie, you have suffered worst"
He nodded to Kane. "Yeah… you being my room mate!"
"Shut up" growled Kane. Scaleyarse were on the field as the items were released. Hunter decided to show off for the first while; grabbing some of the steel metal and having the team of Scaleyarse fly right into them. However Scaleyarse didn't even start their terror. Heidenreich took out Nitro in 10 minutes of the match. He slammed him hard against the sidewall knocking him out.
"NITRO!" called out Rob, who was soon knocked off his stick my Tyson. Rob fell over 10 feet to the ground landing harshly. Kane was getting pissed.
"That's the final straw! HUNTER!" Kane called out. Hunter turned to him. Kane smirked and pointed to Heidenreich, Hunter smirked to Kane knowing what he was thinking. Hunter flew over to Heidenreich, doing circles around him getting him distracted.
"What the hell are you doing?!" he yelled out.
Hunter smiled back. "Nothing much, just a distraction. See?" Hunter asked. Heidenreich shook his head no, in a split second Hunter moved down as Kane slammed Heidenreich into the wall at a great force, the wall was cracked and had an imprint of the Scaleyarse captain as he slid down the wall knocked out cold.
"Nice! Well… you think he knows now about the big red machine?" Hunter laughed as he high fived Kane. As they took out Heidenreich, Richards and Edge got 15 points. But the only point that really mattered is the Snatch point. Hunter began to look around as Rando did a sweep down below. Rando saw Hunter looking down smirking at him. He flew up to confront him.
"What with the damn grin Potter?" he demanded.
Hunter just smiled back. "My captain just kicked your captain's ass" Hunter replied. At the same time they both saw a glimmer below them… it was the Snatch! Rando swooped down after spotting it. Hunter however took a 5 second break.
"4… 3… 2…1" With that said Hunter flew right past Rando who was just reaching for it; Hunter grabbed the Snatch and won the game!
"GRIFFENGREE WINS! GRIFFENGREE WINS!" Called out Cena who was guest announcer. Hunter did a victory lap around the field showing off the snatch. He clenched his free hand in pride of what he did. To his shock he made a charm, it looked like an iron cross!
"Whoa…" he whispered as he tucked it away for later. Griffengree house celebrated with the belt, Hunter wore it most of the night, yet everyone took turns wearing it. Taker Darcodorf allowed the students to use the main hall as a celebration area. Food and drinks were provided as they all celebrated. The team was happy, Hunter felt happy for the first time in a long time.
Hunter knew for that party, he wasn't going to drink himself stupid. For exams started the next day! He was ready for the first time. He showed Professor Nash the pendent he created during the Fidget game, as well as how well he could ward off dark magic. He passed with flying colors. The next exam was mythical creatures, the easiest exam yet. Showgrid feared there would be another injury and he would lose another one of his treasured creatures, he taught the class small harmless ones. Again Hunter aced it.
The next exam, Hunter wasn't too sure of. Professor Kim told him to look into the crystal ball and see something of the future. However all Hunter saw was mist, and down Professor Kim's shirt! However Hunter watched as her eyes gazed over, a haunting voice came out of her. "The dark master will reveal one of his servants tonight… beware!" Hunter stood back as she snapped out of it.
"My… is the test over?" she asked Hunter. He bolted out the door telling Stephoine and Chris what happened in the hallway.
"Damn, that's some prediction… for once it sounds right" Stephoine stated. When they all finished their exams they went to see Showgrid using the invisible cloak. It broke Hunter's heart to see Wingspan in the back chinned up and muzzled. They came inside. Showgrid did this best to maintain his composure while he serves drinks.
"He lost the final appeal… Damn it!" he growled in anger.
Stephoine was stunned. "How come he is to be put down after one incident? It was an accident, not to mention Rando was better within a day, it wasn't as if the injuries were life threatening!"
Showgrid nodded. "Yeah that's why JBM was sent in… I think the threatened the people of the courts of mythical creatures. He said that if Wingspan struck again, he wouldn't go after the creature, but every member of the court before him," he explained.
"So no matter what… Wingspan would have lost!" Chris stated. Showgrid nodded. He was pouring Stephoine a cup of ice tea when he dropped the mug. As he cleaned it up Steph went to get more in the spare jug. She felt something inside and looked in. To her shock Nibbles was in there!
"Chris…. Nibbles is ok!" she called out. Chris bolted out of his seat and ran to see, he looked inside and his pet lizard was there! Chris reached in and danced around.
"NIBBLES YOU'RE OK!" he cheered. Just then Showgrid heard someone coming.
"I think you guys ought to leave now," he told them. Hunter nodded. They got back under the cloak and left the house, just as the people who were to execute Wingspan arrived. They went inside. And before Hunter and the others were out of range to see anything, they heard a single shot echo in the forest. Hunter cringed at the sound, and knew Wingspan was now gone.
