Chapter Nine Fights, Lightning...And A Dance?
The next morning Ember woke to a bang on her door. She answered the door but no one was there.
"Wierd." She was about to close the door when she saw something that scarred her, there was a note on her door. But the scarry part was that a dagger was jammed in her door holding the note in place. The note was writen in red ink, this is what it said.
Ember
I suggest that you stop harassing Cynder. If you
continue then I will have no other choice but to take
action, and I assure you that you do not want that.
Sinceraly
Blade
Ember's eyes grew wide after reading the note and ran off to get the gaurdians. A couple minutes later the gaurdians, Spyro and Cynder were outside Ember's door examining the note.
"Do you have any idea who might have done this." Terrador asked Ember and she looked right at Cynder.
"Cynder." Ember said Cynder's name with discust.
"What makes you think I did it." Asked Cynder aggetated.
"It mentions you in the note." Ember said pointing a claw at her.
"Ember stop it, it wasn't Cynder. How can Cynder write when she doesn't have oppossable thumbs?" Spyro argued.
"Oh..." Ember was embarrest she forgot that.
"Don't worrie Ember I assure you that we will find the culprit." Volteer said quickly.
"Yes, now why don't you three go and have breakfast." The three nodded and left to get breakfast.
"Ember you go ahead and we'll meet up." Spyro said before turning.
"Where are you two going?" Asked Ember in confussion.
"We have to go wake up Jolt." Replied Cynder.
"Oh, I'll go wake him. I wanna hear how it went with Electra yesterday." Ember said with a grin on her face.
"Okay, see you later." replied Spyro before they went thier seprate ways. Once they got to the cafeteria they grabbed some food and looked for a table. They spotted Jolt already there, eating and talking with Sparx. They then went over to sit with them.
"How long have you been up?" Spyro asked in a surprised tone.
"Couple of hours, wats up?" Jolt asked before taking a bight of the meat he had.
"Someone put a threatening note on Ember's door." After Spyro mentioned the note, Jolt instantly smilled and turned to Cynder.
"Did she fall for it?" Jolt asked like it was nothing, confusing Spyro.
"Hook, line and sinker." Cynder replied with a smile of her own.
"What a minute. That was you two?" Spyro asked completely surprised.
"Yup!" Jolt said happily
"She actualy thought I wrote it." Cynder said making her, Jolt and Sparx crack up.
"Sparx were you in on this too?"
"No but I wish I was." Sparx started laughing again.
"What about the gaurdians, were they in on this too?" Jolt nodded while laughing.
"But, how did you write the note?" Spyro was still confused.
"I used my tail. It took forever to get the ink off." Spyro just sat there for a moment before laughing himself.
"Oh! Here she comes now, everyone shut up." Jolt quickly said before Ember was in ear shot.
"There you are. I went to wake you up." Ember said as she set down her tray.
"Guess I beat you to it." Jolt said with a chuckle.
"So how did it go with Electra?" Ember was ancious.
"Well me and her are more alike than I thought. I gave her addvice on how to brake up with that asshole Swmp, and..." Jolt started to blush.
"And?" Ember edged him on.
"...I, basically have a date with Electra later today." Jolt continued to blush.
"Wow! You work fast huh?" Ember said clearly surprised.
"I guess so." Jolt chuckled.
"Are you going to ask her to the dance?" Jolt looked at Ember with wide eyes.
"Dance? What dance?" Jolt asked with an eyebrow raised and obviously surprise.
"I almost forgot, Theres a dance comming up this friday." Said Spyro.
"I'm still waiting for someone to ask me." Ember said winking at Spyro.
"Ember I already told you that I'm going with Cynder." Spyro said annoyed. Ember huffed and turned to Jolt.
"So are you ganna ask her?" Ember asked again.
"I don't know." Jolt was nervous just by thinking about it.
"You have to ask her before someone else does. As soon as she breaks up with Swamp, it will be a matter of time before someone else asks her."
"But I can't even Dance!" Jolt said worried as hell.
"What? Theres nothing to it watch." Sparx started dancing around until Cynder used her wind element and blew him away.
"HAY!" Sparx shouted as Jolt started cracking up instantly.
"I can teach you." Cynder replied. Jolt turned his head to her.
"Really?" Cynder nodded her head.
"It's real easy once you get the hang of it." Jolt thought for a second then turned to Ember.
"Okay...I'll ask Electra. But on one condition." Ember was curious as to what Jolt's condition was. Jolt grinned before speaking.
"You have to go with Flame to the dance and actualy try to have fun." Ember's jaw dropped.
"What? Why Flame?" Jolt smilled.
"Because it's obvious that Flame likes you. You should at least give him a chance." Ember thought it over before giving her answer.
"Oh, okay I'll go with him. But ONLY If you ask Electra." Jolt smilled.
"Deal." Everyone left and went to class. When they got there almost the entire class was there and Cyril wasn't in the room. Jolt went to his seat and said hi to flame.
"Hay flame." Flame turned to him.
"Hay Jolt, whats up?"
"Not much. Are you going to the dance?" Jolt could see Ember next to flame giving him a glare.
"Yup. Are you?" Jolt nodded.
"Yeah, I just hope I don't embarrass my-" At that moment the door slammed in and in came Swamp looking mad as hell.
"WHERE IS HE!" A second later Electra ran in.
"Swamp Stop!" Electra pleaded.
"WHERES JOLT!" Jolt knew what this was about and stood up.
"I'm right here asshole." Everyone gasped and backed away form Jolt and Swamp.
"Your fucking dead you little runt. YOU HEAR ME? DEAD!" Jolt decided to mess with Swamp.
"I'm sorry, did I do somthing wrong." Jolt said in a sarcastic way.
"You but your ass you did! Because of you, Electra just broke up with me." Everyone gasped and looked at Jolt.
"Do you have any proof that I'm the reason she broke up with you?" Everyone looked back at Swamp.
"You "hung out" with her yesterday so you must have did something!" Everyone turned back to Jolt.
"Oh please, she was already thinking of leaving you, all I did was give her advise. Besides, she deserves better than you anyway." veryone looked back at Swamp again.
"Why YOU!" Swamp formed a boulder type shield around himself and rolled at an alarming speed towords Jolt taking out any desks in his way. Jolt rolled out of the way just in time, Swamp came out of his boulder.
"Are you nuts? What was that for?" Swamp stared at Jolt and Shouted.
"Electra said the SAME THING!" Swamp started shooting earth missles at Jolt who was narrowly dodging each one. Jolt was thanking all those times he played dodge-ball. While he was dodging he hear'd Electra yell.
"Jolt look out!" Before Jolt knew it Swamp tackled him to the ground and was trying to bite his head off.
"Get off me!" Jolt yelled dodging another bite from Swamp.
"Not before I rip you HEAD OFF!" Jolt was getting really mad.
"I said...get...the fuck...OFF!" Jolt opened his maw and...
*BOOM crackle* A flash of light hit Swamp and threw him halfway across the room. Everyone looked at Swamp get up and then looked at Jolt.
(Fury of the storm instrumentle by Dragonforce starts)
Jolt was breathing heavily and light blue electricity was psarking around has mouth.
"I told you that I am one dragon that you do not want to fuck with." swamp growled and let lose a berrage of earth missles. Jolt opened his maw and didn't just breath electricity, instead light blue lightning shot out his maw and hit each earth missle, turning each of them into dust. Swamp growled again and charged at Jolt trying to get him with his claws. Jolt kept dodging until he got cut on his left shoulder, it was deep enough to make him bleed slowly. Jolt grunted, jumped back and shot another bolt of lightning at Swamp, it hit him and made him slide back.
Swamp then flew up and dove towords Jolt while incasing himslef in another boulder. Jolt opened his maw and shot another lightning bolt at the boulder. Jolt rolled out of the way before Swamp hit the ground, after got out of the bolder cassing he charged right at Jolt. Jolt waited for the right moment then head-buted Swamp stopping him in his tracks, then Jolt stood up on his hind legs and sume how charged his claws and tail with his new lightning element and preformed the Slash Attack.
Jolt stood on his hind legs and brought his left paw from the upper right to the lower left, and then fallowed with his right paw slashing Swamp's chest with his claws, then spun around to the left cutting Swamp's stomach with the pointed part of his tail and then brought both paws from the upper right to the lower left at the same time slashing Swamp in the chest once more Each slach released electricity into Swamp, then Jolt finished him of by Shooting one more lightning bolt at Swamp throwning him against the wall nocking him unconchious. Everyone looked at Jolt who was now panting and everyone cheered.
(Song ends)
"What in the ancestors name is going on here!" Everyone turned at Terradors voice and gasped to see all three gaurdians infront of the door. Terrador and Cyril looked mad, but Volteer looked calm.
"I want everyone except Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, Jolt and Electra to go to there rooms." Volteer said calmley, everyone quickly left the room mumbling about the fight.
"Now will somebody please tell use what happened here." Cyril said with a stern voice. Electra stepped forword.
"I can." The Gaurdians listened to what she was saying.
"You see, I've been wanting to break up with Swamp for a while and I wasn't sure how to end it. Yesterday when I hung out with Jolt he told me to just come out and say it. When I did however, Swamp blew his top and ran. I knew he was after Jolt and I tried to stop him, but he was to fast. When he got here they exchanged words and then Swamp started attacking Jolt." The garudians turned to Jolt who was still breathing a little heavy.
"I still *pant* can't believe I beat him." Jolt said before Cyril turned to Volteer and spoke.
"Just how long have you been here anyway Volteer?" Everyone turned to Volteer. Volteer turned toword Cyril and began.
"Well, I arrived to see Swamp ontop of Jolt trying to bite him. I was about to brake up the fight until Jolt finally learned how to soomon his element, and used it on Swamp. Once I saw how powerfull it was, I decided to watch and see what kind of potential Jolt could possibly have." Everyone had a look of surprise on there face. everyone was to focused on the fight to notice Volteer there.
"Volteer. As much as I know that you were intrigued, when a fight starts out you mus-" Cyril was cut of at that moment by a yell.
"RAAGH!" Swamp had woken up and was charging full speed. He was about twenty five feet from Jolt when everyone heard him. Swamp was about five feet from Jolt when he opened his his maw and shot one last lightning bolt at Swamp, throwing him into the wall and nocking him unconcious again. Jolt collapesed making Electra run toword him to see if he was ok. Electra sighed with relief, he was still concious. He raised a wing in a way like he would raise an arm when he was still human.
"I'm okay!" His wing went limp and went back down.
"Great ancestors." Exclaimed Cyril.
"Such power." Said Terrador.
"You see, Jolt has great potential. I request that he be trained by me to learn the ways to exicute his element properly." Sparx just turned to Spyro and asked.
"What did he say?" Spyro turned to his brother.
"He wants to train Jolt to control his element better." Sparx just replied.
"Then why didn't he just say so?" Everyone rolled thier eyes.
"Sparx, go get some green and red crystals before I hurt you." Said Cynder clearly getting fustraited.
"Commin right up." Sparx said before zipping off.
"What do you say Cyril? Let me teach Jolt how to properly use his element." Cyril thought about it for a moment.
"I'm cool with it!" Everyone turned to see Jolt still on his side with the same wing pointing up again before it went limp again. Cyril chuckled before he turned back to Volteer.
"Very well Volteer. You may personaly train him." Volteer just smilled.
"Thank you old friend." Cyril nodded.
"I hope this doesn't ruin are date." Jolt said before chuckling. Electra giggled before replying.
"No it doesn't." Electra said before smilling.
"Heres your crystals." Sparx handed a bag of Crystals to electra. She used some red healing Crystals on Jolt and his cut healed instantly. Then she used some green mana crystals. Jolt's eyes shot wide open, feeling his energy return. He litteraly jump up to his feet and shouted.
"WOOH! MAN thats better." Jolt said happily.
"I trust that you will treat Electra butter then Swamp has Jolt." Volteer said smilling at Jolt.
"Um...not to be disrespectfull Master Volteer but, why do you care so much?" Jolt raised an eyebrow.
"Because she is my niece." Jolt looked like he'd seen a ghost.
"YOUR HER UNCLE!" Volteer simply nodded, and Jolt was worried as hell. Jolt turned to Electra.
"I-if he's your uncle, t-then were are your p-parents." Jolt was worried about how close her parents might be. Electra lowered her head and tears started to form.
"They *sob* were lost during the *sob* war." Electra ctarted to cry which made Jolt feel like absolute shit. He had completely forgotten that the reason half the young dragons lived there was because they had lost thier families to the war with the Dark Master. Jolt went next to Electra and put a wing around her, bringing her into an imbrace.
"Electra, I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Electra calmed down a little and turned to Jolt to talk to him.
"It's ok Jolt. It's not your fault." Jolt wiped away her tears with his paw. Jolt smilled at her making her smile back.
"Better?" Electra nodded.
"Yes. Thank you Jolt." Everyone heard a groan. Swamp was waking up. Terrador went over to him.
"Ok Swamp, your comming with me. You are in ALOT of trouble young dragon." Swamp fallowed with his head down, a look of anger lingered on his face. Once they both left the room, Electra turned to Jolt.
"Why don't we go and have our date now." Electra said with a smile, Jolt blushed as they left. On the way out they heard Volteer say.
"Have fun." Volteer smilled.
(Meanwhile)
Ember was in her room wondering what was going. She knew that Swamp started the fight, Jolt was just defending himself.
"Jolt..." Ember thought about Jolt. There was something strange about him. His element was very powerful, alot more powerful then any normal dragon. There was something strange about Jolt, and she wanted to find out what. Ember was brought out of thought by a knock at her door. Ember got off her bed and answered the door. Standing there was Flame with a nervous looking smile on his face.
"H-hey Ember." Flame was definetly nervous.
"Oh hay Flame. Whats up?" Flame took a deep breath before speaking.
"Ember I was wonder. Would you like to go to the dance with me?" Ember remmembered what Jolt said to her.
(flashback)
"What? Why Flame?" Jolt smilled.
"Because it's obvious that Flame likes you. You should at least give him a chance." Ember thought it over before giving her answer.
"Oh, okay I'll go with him. But ONLY If you ask Electra." Jolt smilled.
(Flashback end)
Ember smiled and then gave her answered.
"Of course Flame, I'd be happy to go with you." Flame looked really happy.
"Y-you will?" Ember nodded.
"ALRIGHT! Oh sorry." Flame blushed after how he acted infront of her. Ember just giggled before Flame continued.
"So when should I pick you up?" Ember thought for a second and then answered.
"Around seven should be good." Flame nodded.
"Okay, see you later then." Ember shut her door and flame went on his way thinking.
"Ember's my date to the dance." Flame said this in his mind over and over again. Meanwhile Ember was in her room back on her bed thinking.
"Maybe this won't be so bad after all." Ember then began to wonder how good a dancer Flame was.
