Avril didn't want to fight Randy. Really, who would want to fight their all-time favorite dorky cartoon character that makes you want to yell at the TV and tell him what not to do. She'd rather get to know the baka and have some fun. Hell, she wanted to explore Norrisville and do stupid and awesome stuff with her best friends. She just wanted to do things no fangirls or boys had the chance to do. Sure, meeting the voice actors and the creators would be totally the cheese. But, meeting the real-deal in the flesh and do stuff you dreamed about doing and writing fan-fictions about for real? That is what Avril was hoping for when she, Ally, and Alice fell down the rabbit hole and ended up in their favorite cartoon.
But no; she just had to find out she's some super-human with amazing powers and the ability to travel through dimensions. She just had to end up going to Camp Walker, meet Carrie and Natalia, meet the Fates, find out she's the 'Chosen One', and find out she has some prophecy she cannot escape. No, her life was now all fucked up and she can't be the normal girl she used to be.
Well…not exactly normal.
All through her life, weird things have been happening to her. Like, when she was ten, she fell down a well and drowned. When her parents found her, they said when her mom held her close she started choking up water and came back to life. Or, when she was thirteen, she started having weird mood swings and she kept having blackouts. One time, she had woken up from a blackout and found a skeleton on the ground, holding a very frighten bully by the ankle. Or, back in ninth grade, she and her boyfriend Aiden (they dated since the seventh grade) had gotten lost in the woods. She had a blackout that night. When she woke up, she found herself in Aiden's arms, cuddling with him under a weeping willow tree. She thought it was alright until she found out Aiden had been stabbed, right under his heart. He died saying 'I love you'. With tears blurring her vision, Avril kept kissing him and telling him to wake up. When her mom found her, her mother could have sworn there were shadows surround them.
Avril blinked away tears as she walked towards the training arena. She had to stop dwelling on the past and whining about how unfair her life was. She was acting like a two-year-old, not a fourteen-year-old. With a sigh, Avril entered the arena.
She just hoped her ass wouldn't get whooped and everyone laughs at her.
…
"You can do this," Howard said. "You're Randy Cunningham: the most awesome Ninja ever! You can and will win! I'm not letting that blondie rub it in our faces that her friend can beat us!"
Randy rolled his eyes as he gripped his katanas. While Avril was in a coma, Randy was training long and hard every single day, every single minute. He wasn't going to lose to a girl. He had a reputation to hold, not to mention a Nomicon to get back. If he lost, he wouldn't hear the end of it.
Randy looked around from where he was standing. The arena was nothing like he expected to look like. It was in the shape of a rectangle, with a large grassy field with large boulders scattered around, serving for hiding places or places to shoot from. The arena was the size of two football fields. On the long sides were the seats where people could sit and watch. On the short sides were where the teams would come out from and where the locker rooms were.
Now, all the campers were seated, cheering and shouting. Deamata and Overseer sat in a special seat box on the right side of the arena, with Carrie sitting by her mom and Natalia sitting by her dad. Randy could spot Ally and Alice sitting in the crowd, shouting out their best friend's name and pumping their fists in the air. Though, most people were shouting Randy's name. Some held up signs that said 'Randy Cunningham: #1 Ninja!' or (his most favorite) 'You're the best! Show them why you're my hero! :D'.
Randy didn't know he had this many fans. Back in Norrisville, he knew the whole town loved him. But, these were strangers he didn't even know, let alone protected. It made him swell with pride that this many people adored him.
The cheering soon died down as Deamata stood up. The woman's pitch-black hair with deep pink streaks was put up in a high ponytail. Her kaleidoscope eyes were the fiery orange with coal-black flecks. Today, she wore a bright red blouse, brown skinny jeans, and knee-high black boots. Randy had to admit; the woman was drop-dead gorgeous. Deamata flashed a pearly-white smile as she waved to the crowd.
"Campers! Welcome back for a new summer! We welcome back campers new and old as we finish the first week of camp. Today is June thirteenth, 2014! Last week, you finished your school term in your home dimensions and came to our humble camp to train and harness your divine powers as a Dimension-Walker. I hope you all settled and are ready for a summer of fun and excitement!"
Cheers filled the arena. Even Randy had to cheer. Camp Walker was awesome. He had learned more ninja moves than what the Nomicon had taught him. He was better at using all his weapons, knew how to use the Ninja Rage longer, perfected how to use the Ninja balls (especially the bee-ball), and was faster and more agile than before. Unfortunately, Randy wasn't a Dimension-Walker so he couldn't attend camp.
"Today," Deamata continued as the cheer died down once more, "we have a very special treat. Today, we welcome the most famous hero to date of the Nine Realms. He is one of the very few heroes to ever be recognized by the Council. Please, help me welcome him to the Arena: Randall Cunningham!"
Randy had to cringe at his full name being said, but he soon stopped as a defying roar of cheers filled the air. They all chanted his name, stomping their feet and clapping their hands in a catchy rhythm and in perfect sync. Randy put his katanas in an unknown pocket in the ninja suit and started running through the arena, high-fiving and fist-bumping everyone as he did. Once he was done, he stood back in his place and the cheering stopped. Deamata smiled and continued on.
"Not only the great Ninja of Norrisville has come to our camp, he will be battling a camper to determine who is better: a Dimension-Walker or a Ninja?
Everyone started yelling out answers, but Deamata raised her hand and everyone stopped. She cleared her throat, and spoke again.
"His opponent that will represent the Dimension-Walkers is…Avril-Drew Claire Burgundy!"
…..
When her name was called, Avril stepped out onto the field. When she got out, she expected her own cheers to roar into the air. But, instead, all fell into whispers and mutters.
Avril had to frown. Why didn't anyone cheer?
She was dressed for battle. She wore a dark red t-shirt, black skinny jeans, knee-high dark grey combat boots, and a black leather jacket with a dark grey hood. She had on a pair of leather, finger-less gloves and her hair was put up in a high ponytail. If this didn't say 'I'm so badass, you wouldn't want to piss me off', she didn't know what would.
As she looked around the arena, Avril gripped the dagger she was given. While she was in the locker room, Overseer had come in and gave her some things.
"Look child," he had said, "I know things about you that you don't. I can't tell you because Deamata will have my ass if I did. But, I want to give you some things that will help you."
"Like what?" Avril had asked.
Overseer handed her four things: a silver moon pendant*, a golden sun pendant*, a ruby ring, and a dagger. Before she could ask what they were for, he left without another word. She sighed and put on the moon pendant and sun pendant around her neck. She slipped the ruby ring into her jacket pocket and held onto the dagger.
Now standing in the arena, Avril looked down at the dagger. The blade was about a foot long. It was made of black iron, with gold, bronze, and silver mixed in. Her handle was silver with a purple cloth around it. On the blade, the word 'Unity' was carved in the blade in Italian. How she knew Italian was still a mystery.
She looked across the arena towards Randy, who was in his ninja suit. He was looking towards her, his blue eyes full of determination. Avril gripped the handle of the dagger, making her knuckles turn white. Without thinking, she narrowed her eyes and let out a loud, wolf-like growl. Everyone quieted down and stared at her in shock. Randy's eyes went wide, and he stumbled back. Even Deamata and Overseer looked surprised.
Avril blinked, and shook her head.
"Sorry," she mumbled, sheepishly.
Soon, the crowd was whispering amongst one another. Even Ally and Alice were whispering too. Avril gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned yellowish-amber. She had enough. Everyone was talking behind her back, as if she's some kind of monster or freak. She was a Dimension-Walker, one of them. Why would they treat her any different? It was unfair, very unfair.
Once Deamata finished saying the rules, Avril advanced first.
…
Randy was prepared for anything. He was ready for Avril to flee, for her to hide, and for her to try and back out.
What he didn't prepare for was Avril to charge forward first, dagger in hand.
Avril slashed her dagger. Luckily, Randy dodged right on time. The blade was a centimeter away from his ear. He fell to the ground, landing on his butt. He looked up at Avril, seeing her eyes were bright amber. She was growling, baring her razor-sharp canine teeth. Randy had to admit: he almost had an accident in his pants at the sight of that. When he regaining his stance, Avril used the butt of the dagger and hit Randy in his chest. The blow knocked Randy off balanced, and he stumbled back.
"What the juice?!" exclaimed Randy. "How did you get so honking good? You were in a coma for four days!"
Avril didn't respond. She held her dagger out, getting into battle stance. She narrowed her eyes, and gave a sinister grin. Randy pulled out his katana, and held it out. He narrowed his eyes, and advanced. The Ninja jumped up, calling out 'Ninja Slice!', and slashed the sword down. Avril flipped backwards, kicking the katana out of Randy's hands. She landed on her feet, smiling devilishly. Randy fell face-first onto the ground, the katana falling somewhere behind him. The whole crowd gasped, all wide eyed and their mouths hanging. Randy looked up, and slowly got to his feet.
"What the heck is happening?" Howard said from his seat in the crowd. "Come on, Cunningham! You can beat her!"
Soon, the crowd was cheering Randy on, encouraging him to keep fighting. With a smirk, Randy stood up. He pulled out his chain-sickle, and started twirling it around. Avril did the universal sign for 'come at me', grinning as she did. Taking the challenge, Randy ran towards her.
"Ninja Chain-sickle!" exclaimed the young ninja.
The sickle flew towards Avril. Avril just stood there, twirling the dagger in one hand and placed the other hand on her hip. As soon as the sickle came close to her, Avril stuck her dagger out. The blade of the dagger grew in size until it became a katana. The katana's blade was much longer than Randy's, and was sharper than a razor. She swung the katana, and the sickle was cut off the chain and landed a foot behind Avril. Randy's jaw dropped, and he dropped the chain. The crowd was deathly silent, all looking at Avril in awe and in fear. Said girl was smiling like a madwoman, holding the katana in front of her.
"Uh…."
Avril ran towards him, and swung the katana. With a yelp, Randy jumped back. But, he tripped and landed on his back. He groaned, and looked up at the sky. Avril loomed over him, smiling evilly. Her eyes were bright red, full of malice. She raised her katana, but Randy covered his face and closed his eyes.
"I give up," he yelled. "I give up! You win! You win, you crazy fruit-loop!"
Everyone gasped, staring at the hero in disbelief. Randy Cunningham, the greatest Ninja to ever protect Norrisville, was cowering over a girl who learned she was a Dimension-Walker four days ago and had no training whatsoever. Deamata was about to stop the match when a scream ripped through the air.
Green mist flew through the air, and many campers were running around, screaming and panicking. Behind the flailing campers were monsters. In front of the monsters was Victor, the blonde guy who Avril had met on her first day.
"Attention Camp Walker," the British blond said, "sorry to interrupt your little games! Surrender now in the name of the Dark One and we'll partially kill you all!"
…..
I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU AT A CLIFFHANGER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
So, here's the format to submit your OC for the ones who guess right (this is for CanIHaveAHug and Ninuhuju ONLY):
Name:
Nickname(s): *this is optional
Age:
Gender:
Power Class: *I will put the options that you can choose from
Appearance: *Must have height, hair color and length and style, skin color, eye color and shape, and any birthmarks or markings (freckles, beauty marks, scars, etc.) on their body
Outfit: *what they wear in camp
Personality: *complete sentences and NO FRAGMENTS OR LISTS
Bio: *just a paragraph or two that explains if they belong to a clan, if they had to be erased (their family had to be mind-wiped of their existence), their friends, their family, if they are a summer and winter camper or year-round, and how they came to camp
The options (NOTE: I will not list ALL the power classes there are because there are so many of them) for the power classes are:
Giver: They hold all the knowledge and wisdom in the universe and Nine Realms. Confused for Athena's demigod children. Athena is their patron and will protect them. Usually appearance for Givers is blonde or brown hair, grey or brown eyes, tan or peachy skin, and usually tall and athletic.
Tinkerer: They are divine metalworkers. They are naturally gifted in metalwork. They are like the Hephaestus kids of Dimension-Walkers. Their appearance is brown or black hair; warm brown eyes, tan or dark skin, and are usually muscular and athletic. Some have a Latino look.
Shifter: They can change appearances or turn into animals. The name 'Shifter' is from the word 'shape-shifter'. Their appearances can vary.
Rabbit: They can find and/or create Rabbit-Holes (dimensional portals), hence their name. All Rabbits have the Rabbit's Curse or the Mad Hatter Plague, making them insane (but not too insane), random, strange, weird, and odd. But, they embrace the curse and love who they are. Rabbits originate from England, and most are British. Their appearances can vary too, but most have blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.
DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW GUYS! I MEAN IT!
