Chapter Twenty One: Algroz Awaits
Frost's POV
"Alright you slackers! You will all be split into eight teams! There will be eight captains who'll choose their team and just to make it clear, if I see any dirty play, I'll dirty your face with my bare hands! Is that understood!?", Shard stated in a commanding voice as she walked from left to right with her milky white hands held behind her back as the silver whistle that hung from her neck via a black, woollen thread swayed like a swing.
Her hair icy blue was tied up into two long pony tails that just reached her thighs as she wore a white, sports uniform that looked extremely loose whilst wearing an embarrassing red, somewhat appropriate panties. Not that I care or anything, but why would she even bother wearing it if she's not even gonna play... Unless she's planning on doing so. Andr completely disappeared for whatever reason and Jace is back to his female form. I don't know how or why but I don't want to cling onto it... I'm already starting to get a headache from all this thinking.
I sighed, feeling my heart begin to ache as I stood to the furthest right in the straight horizontal line our entire class was in, all aligned perfectly on a a white line that marked the boundary. The wooden, freshly polished wooden floorboards were extremely smooth, but luckily for me, my light grey shoes have an amazing grip. That's one of the reasons why I was able to run on the ice like it was nothing and run up that pillar. Damn! I still can't believe that it actually worked!
"Frost Richtofen! Get your ass over here!", Shard yelled, making me cringe to how loud her voice was, causing my grey cat-like ears to fold in pain. I sighed, blinking and immediately obligating to her demand as I already knew that I was going to be a captain. Why wouldn't I be? I walked out of the line, instantly feeling the cold air of this massive basket ball court brush against my face and irritate my dark brown eyes slightly. The quiet tapping of my footsteps echoed in this brightly lit arena. "Plantina! You'll be the second captain!", Shard exclaimed. Great...
I sighed, straining my eyes before stopping right in my tracks, turning my entire body to the left, facing the entire class with a small smile across my face as Plantina walked up to me with a bright smile across her face. I wonder what she's up to...
Crimson's POV
I stood beside Frost, smiling warmly at the others particularly at Chaos as Frost had his eyes on her, ready to choose her right after Jace who's team consisted of both her and a girl who had jet black, long hair tied into a pony tail via a red, furry band.
"I choose Jack", Jace said in her sweet, fine tone of voice as she smiled brightly at a blonde haired boy who looked EXTREMELY athletic. Damn. She chose the right person to dodge. She chuckled, blinking once before looking over at Frost to her left, giving him an intimidating look with her light pink, shinning eyes that reflected Frost's dark brown ones as clear as day. "Your turn, Black Heart".
Frost took in a deep breath of the air, slightly inflating his torso as he looked dead ahead at a Chaos who blinked in confusion like it was weird for Frost to choose her.
"Chaos, you're on my team", Frost announced, forming a pleasant, kind smile across his face as she stood as straight as a stone wall.
"One more", Shard said from the other side of the court to our right, echoing twice as I was a sparkle in Frost's eyes like he knew who to pick.
"Milk", He simply said.
"Frosty, your turn!", The teacher said, restarting from the front as our team was now full. Looks like we have an ace team! Milk, a great catcher with brilliant speed but with a weak throw. Chaos, a great dodger and an amazing thrower as her strength is over-the-top amazing. Frost, an all rounded player who is weak when alone and finally, me who too, is the same as Frost... The first game should be good.
Frost's POV
Team one against team two huh? I stood on the sideline along with the others as Crimson stood beside me since I was probably the most friendliest person to her and to the fact that she feels safe around me. I blinked, watching Frosty's team on the left side of the court whilst Flicker's team was on the right. Each had their backs against the walls, ready for Shade to blow the whistle at any given moment. The first part of the game is reaction time and speed. The first to get the two balls in the centre line would be the dominant ones. Haha! I can't wait to see how this plays out!
Flicker's eyes were locked onto the balls as Frosty had her eyes on her, trying to study her position and how she'll be moving around. Good tactic, but she mustn't let her guard down or else she'll regret it. The loser of this match will be disqualified for good and have to remain as a spectator for the rest of the period.
"Frost, go easy on us", Jace said from my left, instantly making me smile and laugh quietly.
"Sorry Jace, but I won't be going easy on you. The first round is just as important as the next", I stated, making her let out a sigh of disappointment as if she already knew my answer.
"Can I use my abilities?", She asked, sounding innocent as I dared not to look at her due to the fact that she's probably doing the 'eye' thing that makes me feel really damn guilty. It's like a dirty way of obligating to something.
"Use it, and I'll use mine", I warned with a smile on my face, making Milk giggle from my right as Chaos mumbled something to herself like she was in a bad mood.
I took in a deep breath of the cold air that swirled us like a gentle typhoon, shilling me to the bone as I focused on both the team captains like they were wild animals. If I get this right, then Frosty should be able to defeat them all on her own. She's not the school president for nothing!
"Ready!", Shard exclaimed, holding the whistle in her right hand in front of her mouth, eyeing both teams to make sure that no one was going to cheat.
Instantly, the room went silent. Nothing could be heard except for the rustling of the teams readying themselves up to make a break towards the red, thick balls that could break someone's teeth in one fatal throw.
"Set!", Shard said her last words before a second later she blew as hard as she could on the silver whistle, causing both the teams to react with almost PRECISE timing. And just like that, the entire building was flooded with life and the noises of the rubber soles of their shoes rubbing against the polished floorboards, emitting loud squeaks that where 'ear' friendly.
"Go Flicker! Kick Frosty's ass!", Star exclaimed, fist pumping the air from my far left. I chuckled, watching Frosty rush up to the ball to the right, gritting her teeth painfully hard as Rosina was too, rushing up to it.
"Frosty! We're counting on you!", A few girls cheered, actually looking like it effected Frosty in some sort of way that allowed her to get to the ball just before Rosina, causing her to recoil back but ending up slipping and falling onto her back with a thud. Wow. That's the first time I've seen Frosty get motivated!
"Frosty's fast", Jace whispered in awe as we all watched her with our prying eyes, seeing her slam the ball onto the poor black haired girl's stomach before it bounced right back into Frosty's possession. Looks like she's out. Four on three right now, let's see who'll win out of these two.
"Yeah, but can she win?", Milk asked just as a ball was thrown at one of her team mates, smacking them right across the face with so much mass that she could have potentially gone out unconscious. Woah! The ball let out a loud bouncing noise upon impact, bouncing right off her face and back onto the other side. Three on three now.
"Are you alright! Dizzy!?", Frosty exclaimed in worry, gritting her teeth before running up to her as she passed the ball to a girl on her team that had orange hair and golden eyes, catching it and gritting her teeth in anger and concentration.
"Don't worry about me! The game's still on!", Dizzy exclaimed, walking groggily back to the sideline with a bad right knee. Ouch... That ball must be like a brick if it can effect other parts of the body. What the hell is inside of them!?
The girl with the orange hair threw the ball with all her might right at Flicker, only was she preparing for it and caught it with ease.
"Batter out!", Flicker said smugly, intimidating the girl who gasped to how easily her attack was caught. Nothing special from Flicker... After all she IS and Elemental. A freed one to be precise.
"Precise! Watch out!", Frosty warned the girl with the light blue, short hair but was far too late as a ball thrown by Berry hit her arm, causing her to flinch and take a step backwards to how fast her shot was. Dammit. It's just Frosty now!
Precise sighed, walking off towards the sideline marked by a white, long line that created an imaginable barrier where those who are in cannot get out and vice versa. Come on Frosty... I know you can win.
"Haha! Frosty, looks like it's just you isn't it!?", Flicker exclaimed, bouncing the ball up and down in her right hand as Berry bent over to pick up the ball that rolled towards her from the other side. She placed both hands around it, erecting herself up as she smiled with an evil grin, staring into Frosty's face that looked like she was just getting started. "Attack her!", She commanded, stomping forwards, causing the room to shake for a split second with one hell of a loud thud that made the fur on my grey cat-like ears rise like a frightened cat. She then lunged forwards, reeling her right hand to the side before finally slinging it forward with lightning speed, spinning as it did to make it resist the air much more efficiently. Accompanied with the shot, was Berry's ball that too, was on a straight collision course to Frosty. Come on Frosty... You have this!
"Eh!?", The girls to my left exclaimed in shock as Frosty did one hell of an epic catch to both the balls. Literally! She caught them with complete ease and control, one in each hand as they ceased spinning and emitted some sort of steam from the tip of them... Haha! "What!?".
"Impossible! Dammit! Flute, it's all up to yo-", Before Flicker could even finish what she was going to say, BOTH the balls where thrown by Frosty right at her. The first one, hit her face, causing her to gag out in pain as strands of her saliva sparkled in the air, leaving her slightly opened mouth with some blood dancing with it. The second one, brutally bashed itself into her stomach, winding her as her eyes flung open as wide as say with pupils so small, that you'd have to look through a microscope to see it. Frosty!?
The whistle was immediately sounded, not only ceasing the round, but also the class... Dammit Frosty, you didn't have to throw it THAT hard. If she gets sacked, then I won't be surprised. That girl must've had her intestines squeezed to minced meat!... Damn...
"It's done?", Jace sighed in relief, probably due to the fact that I won't have to verse her team and throw a ball at her face. "Thank goodness for that!". She knew how I played and how dirty I can be. Not by cheating of course, but, due to the fact that she TRIED to get me and Crimson to hug each other last night, she knew very well that I'd get Chaos to throw a ball at her.
"Oh man", I sighed in annoyance that class was over. Time goes fast when... It takes a whole year for Star to even choose a team mate... She did it on purpose because she also knew that if she were to face me, then I'd get Chaos to throw the ball at her. Chaos is one hell of a strong person, but her will isn't powerful. When Milk's around, his will power comes close to mine. "Crimson?", I asked, looking to my right to see her smiling at me warmly with her light red eyes staring into mine... Reminding me of Her. They look the same, smell the same... But they act differently. Crimson is much more innocent that Mindy but at the same time, somewhat deadlier. Looks can kill.
"Is class over?", She asked me curiously, blinking once before I suddenly turned a slight red to how much she ACTUALLY resembled Mindy.
"More like school. Anyway, happy birthday Frost", Jace said from my left, making me jolt in electricity as I immediately turned right at her with a bright, heart warming smile plastered across my face.
"Thank you. That means a lot to me", I thanked her, making her chuckle as her pink cat-like ears twitched suddenly.
"It's nothing. Hey, let's all go to the city today and eat somewhere", She suggested. I obligated immediately, wanting to taste the city food once again. Their sushi and noodles are great there! The coffee and the soft drinks... Haha! I'm drooling already!
"Sure thing! Crimson, do you want to come along?", I asked, turning back to her, to see her cheeks burning red from what looked like shyness.
"I uh... S...Sure. But you don't have to buy me anything there. I'll just come along", She said, regaining her composure as she blinked and looked away from my eyes.
"Milk, Chaos, will you guys come along?", Jace asked.
"Sorry, we have something to do. Take your time guys and have fun", Milk replied... Alright then, it's just us three.
"City huh? Let's get going then!", Star exclaimed from my left, causing my eyes to widen as I cringed in what seemed like annoyance, knowing how painful it is to have her around. Not that she's embarrassing, but to the fact that she's ALWAYS trying to annoy me no matter what. But still, we get along pretty well and maybe she won't try to annoy me... I hope.
Milk's POV
Ok, we're going to have to make the cake while their gone out to the city. Just a good four hours then it's party time! Haha! I can't wait to see Frost's face when we sing him a song!
Algroz's POV
Haha! I can feel them approaching! In two hours, I will destroy this street and make it our playground! They will not survive against me! Not even Frost will be able to withstand the power of electricity! Just they wait! HAHAHHAHA!
Plantina's POV
Dammit! I forgot how weak we have become after being freed from Overturn's possession! Fuck! If I try protecting Frost, then I'll be a mere burden for him! Same goes for Flicker... Frost nor Crimson will be able to withstand the shock he'll give to them!
Frost's POV
I can feel something. Something coming... The wind feels different in the city. But am I just imagining things? The parked all had their lights on for some odd reason as the traffic lights where jammed, flicking on and off rapidly, causing a whole parade of cars to honk their horns in terrible melody that hurt my ears ever so slightly. We've just had our food and it's been well over three hours but... Something doesn't feel right... But why? Jace and Star had headed back to the house while me and Crimson decided to stick around, both having our swords behind out backs for self defence.
"Frost, do you... Feel like we're being watched?", Crimson asked me in a frightened voice, gritting her teeth as she tensed to the thought. Dammit... There must be someone watching us. But from where? The pedestrian was hardly populated as we walked down it on the right side of the road, approaching the traffic light up ahead.
"Yes... But I don't know why", I replied before suddenly, seemingly from out of the blue, a flash of yellow, root-shaped lightning struck the ground right in front of us, causing the both of us to repel back as we covered out faces with our forearms from the sprouting concrete. My heart began to beat as fast as drums before I looked up into the sky as the people around us began to scream and run away from this area, probably thinking that it was an explosive.
"You ok!?", Crimson asked me in worry, gritting her teeth in anger.
"Yeah! Are you!?", I asked back, taking a sept back before suddenly, my legendary name was called from behind just as a car smashed itself into a small cafe whilst the cars all decided to drive off, regardless of the lights... But why!?
"Frost, get ready! We have company!", Crimson exclaimed, quickly pulling out her sword from behind her back with the classic metallic scraping sound. Holding onto it with just her right hand. Immediately, I spun around, skidding my shoes onto the rough, grey concrete to see a figure standing in the middle of the lone, empty street... It was a girl. A girl who had long, golden hair and sunset eyes that stared at us demoniacally.
"Dammit. An Elemental! What's she doing here in the city!?", I questioned no one in particular, watching her laugh as she moved closer, revealing her entire attire... She wore a plain white dress that reached her knees and wore yellow shoes with white socks reaching her ankles. The girl looked around thirteen years of age but I did NOT allow that to distract me as she was here for one reason and one reason only. To kill me and take the both of us for whatever she wanted us for.
"I'll spare the details! No, I'll get straight to the point!", She laughed maniacally as the air suddenly thick and relatively cold. "I am Algroz! And I will kill you Black Heart and then take you both to impregnate!Ahahahaha! I can hardly wait!", She exclaimed, causing Crimson to gasp in pure shock and fear of her having to bear a child inside of her. Heck, I was much more frightened that she was! The fucking pain is more than enough to send anyone into the deep pits of insanity! The hell of my creation!
"Crimson, let's do this!", I exclaimed.
