After the battle started the students decided to hide but not before taking more pictures and adding more footage to the video. None of the girls would pay attention to them and that would be an issue if they decided to use all their powers as any projectile or ability missed would end up in the club members getting injured or worse.
Considering some of the guardians could fly they took the battle to the skies. Sophie was following Jinx while fighting the winged girl; Lux was facing Katarina as the redhead tried to get close; Poppy was trying to stop Riven as she was far more mobile and deadly than the Yordle; Janna was against the plant woman who was summoning more of her `servants´ while Janna tried to use the winds to cast those creations out. However out of everyone Lulu was the one having more issues, she was being followed by the invisible one and Pix was the one trying to hit her despite missing every projectile.
The rebel and the newest member were dodging some orbs the winged girl was hurling at them; they were successful but Jinx was also trying to fire some bullets at her enemy with Shiro but unfortunately no hits.
¨It seems the Star Guardian has some issues with her aiming; no wonder we are here to replace all of you…¨
¨Oh yeah?! Let's see if you can dodge this!¨ The red haired guardian yelled and swapped her familiars and weapons; with her rocket launcher over her shoulder the crazy girl tried to destroy her opponent but once again the speed of the angel was faster than the rockets and thus they all ended up hitting trees and different parts of the park ¨Can you stand still? I'm trying to destroy you!¨
¨Jinx be careful, there are still innocent people around¨ Sophie pointed at the three students who were at a moderate distance from the battle. The eyes from this guardian also saw the trouble Lulu was in ¨I've got an idea, Jinx¨ She attracted the attention of the rebel ¨Fire on Lulu's location¨
¨Whose side are you on?!¨
¨Just do it!¨
After a few moments of silence the rebel grinned ¨I never knew this side of you 'phie, after all you are the brains along with Lux¨ With a quick turn the flying guardian fired her rocket at Lulu's position; the Yordle didn't see this and when the projectile hit the ground it exploded, sending the small guardian flying to a bush but she wasn't the only one; the invisible woman re-appeared as she was now flying away and against one of the swings, falling unconscious ¨Just what I like, one enemy down!¨
¨Nice shot Jinx, now we need to-¨ Sophie saw one of the orbs from the angel flying at her, she tried to avoid it but she failed. The guardian got captured and the sphere orb turned into a prison that surrounded the horned guardian ¨My wings, I… I can't…¨ She tried to flap her wings but the trap around her impeding any movement from her. ¨I can't believe I'm going to say this: JINX, HELP!¨
The scream attracted the attention of more than one person, but of course Jinx's ears caught it and saw how her fellow guardian was falling to the ground. The rebel flew towards Sophie, falling at high speed so she could catch her partner in time. Jinx embraced Sophie and with her wings she tried to reduce the speed, however they were already at ground level and they both crashed and rolled.
As they laid on the grass they saw Lulu coming towards them ¨Are you okay?¨
¨Yeah…¨ ¨Sophie groaned and saw how the three students were also looking at the two guardians on the grass. Of course she noticed Taliyah but also Ren and Ezreal, she didn't want her friends to get injured ¨You shouldn't be here, it's a dangerous place for students¨
¨WATCH OUT!¨ Jinx yelled and all of the people there saw the orbs heading in their direction. Unlike last time they all managed to avoid them, including the students who ran to a different position ¨I really… really hate her¨
¨We have to stop her from doing that¨
¨But how?!¨ They seemed desperate at first but the smug angel turned from that menacing person into a cute blob with white wings that was slowly falling into the ground ¨What?¨ The two guardians said and saw that behind them the Yordle was still swinging her small staff and with an innocent smile in her face until she noticed Jinx and Sophie looking bad.
¨Huh? What's wrong?¨
¨Um… it's just… thanks Lulu¨ The light green haired girl smiled and stood up, helping her marksman get back up ¨We need to keep going on and help the others¨ The other two guardians nodded as they went to help Janna.
In the meantime, the three club members had enough footage to make an entire movie out of this, however in Reginald's mind he felt happy since he had a lot of material to please the principal and keep himself in the academy for a longer period. Ever since the anti-Star Guardian attacked near them the students moved a couple of more times before ending up in one of the craters made by Jinx's explosions.
¨You think this is a safe place to be? That girl might miss another of her rockets and we are dead¨ Taliyah muttered, looking around for any kind of way to leave the park, it was a surprise that despite all the sound this battle was making no one else was around to record the battle, not even cops or any of the sorts.
¨This is the closest we can get without being literally in the middle¨ Ren answered, taking another picture with his phone ¨This is getting dangerous by the minute… but we have enough to leave¨
¨No¨ Ezreal's answer was not the type the two other kids would expect.
¨Come on Ez, we have a lot¨ Ren got closer to his friend ¨The principal will surely be happy with this¨ This time he whispered, making sure the other club member wouldn't listen.
¨It's not that…¨ The eyes from the blond were focused on the pink haired girl who was facing Katarina; he wanted to do something but there was no way for him to actually intervene in that battle to save the leader from the Star Guardians, however a crazy idea came to his mind. He grabbed one of the rocks that were by the crater and carried with him as he ran away from safety.
¨Ezreal no!¨ The president and the club member yelled as they saw their friend ran away into danger.
The rock the student was carrying was big enough to deal some to cause some damage. As he got closer to Lux and Katarina the boy readied the throw by taking an aiming pose and then the projectile flew from his hand and landed on the side of the head of the crimson haired assassin. ¨Leave her alone you bully!¨
No doubt this took the girl by surprise, she was winning her fight against Lux but this rock changed the tide, even if it was for mere seconds ¨You…¨ Katarina whispered and before switching targets she hit Lux's face with her elbow before kicking the pink haired in the guts and pushing her away. Using her powers the leader of the enemy team dashed and teleported to the side of Ezreal who was now her hostage because she was grabbing him with one arm while the other had a dagger aimed at the student's neck.
While the Star Guardians defeated almost everyone, the only members remaining were Riven and Katarina, the warrior took a step back and stood at the side of Katarina while the leader was now facing everyone with her new toy in front of her.
¨Leave me alone!¨ Ezreal yelled, trying to release himself but whenever he tried to move the tip of the dagger slowly caressed his skin ¨Or perhaps no…¨
¨We told you to leave this place, that you should ran away, but what do you do? You stay there and help my enemies. What should I actually think of that? Was it a mistake? Or are you an ally of the Star Guardians?¨
¨Kat leave him alone, we established not to hurt innocent people¨ Riven was more surprised than the actual guardians but she wouldn't let her guard down.
¨This idiot is not an innocent one, he attacked me and despite our warnings he decided to be a hero¨ Katarina moved her arm to twist the one from Ezreal, making him yelp in pain ¨It hurts, doesn't it?¨ She grinned, enjoying every moment of this torture.
¨Are you so desperate that you are now using civilians as your human shields?¨ Poppy frowned, taking a step forward but this made the two anti-Star Guardians to take a step back ¨We defeated your friends, we outnumber you, surrender now!¨
¨You might've defeated the weaker links of our group, but we can take you down… besides, your leader is also out of combat¨
Without anyone noticing, the pink locks from Lux emerged from one of the craters as she ran towards Katarina. She jumped and raised her fist ¨LEAVE MY BOYFRIEND ALONE!¨ She screamed and hit the red haired on her face, forcing her to lose balance and fall to the ground along with her hostage. As the assassin recovered she found herself with Lux aiming her staff at her and the rest of the guardians closing in on her location ¨In the name of the First Star, give up now!¨
¨Give up? You think you won?¨ Using her abilities Katarina managed to teleport to a safe position on top of the games. After spitting some blood the enemy leader sheathed her blades ¨Tonight you showed me something, you are not as weak as we initially thought… it will be interesting to consume your powers once we finally defeat you… Star Guardians¨ With those grim words Katarina turned and jumped away, leaving the park; the rest of the team also disappeared without any trace.
The two students that were hiding went with Ezreal however it was Lux who helped him up ¨You ok?¨ Said the pink haired with a worried look on her face.
¨Yeah… it must be hard rooting for the Star Guardians when you are facing these kind of enemies¨ The blond chuckled and so did Lux ¨By the way you can… stop holding my hand¨ The two of them looked down and saw how they were still holding them, however when they tried to break this bond they just got closer to each other in an embrace and later their lips touched, closing their eyes and enjoying the moment.
From behind Jinx grunted and turned just to fly away from the scene. The rest of the guardians were somewhat happy, along with the club members who were mostly surprised. ¨Did he just…¨ Ren whispered but Taliyah hushed him so he didn't ruin the moment.
After the two lovebirds broke the kiss their eyes met and Ezreal understood something at that very moment ¨Your perfume… your smile… you… Lux?¨
¨I never expected my first kiss after a hard battle and still using my Star Guardian uniform¨
¨You tell me, I never thought my first kiss would be with one of the guardians¨
¨Lux… I'm sorry to tell you this, but we have to go¨ Sophie felt bad for interrupting the moment but they all had to return to their homes or all of the parents would actually get worried about their disappearance.
¨I'm sorry Ez… wish this moment could last longer¨ Lux looked down but the blond grabbed the chin of the leader and once again dropped a warm kiss on her lips ¨With his could last forever…¨
¨Same…¨ They both split up and Lux started to float, the rest of the team started to fly away but the mage just waited there, looking at her new boyfriend ¨I guess this secret remains with the few of us here… And don't worry, the secret will be safe¨
¨I'm not worried about it, you will all forget everything when we go back to normal¨
¨So that means… the kiss…¨ In this moment Ezreal knew there was a catch, this was all sudden and forgetting everything would be hard, but at the same time the magic from the guardians never failed ¨Will I forget all of it?¨
¨Sort of… but don't worry, I'll come back for you¨ With a cute smile the leader finally turned and flew away, leaving the club members in the now calm battleground.
¨That… was… so… cute!¨ Taliyah said with emotion as she hugged the blond but then she remembered the action he took ¨Don't ever forget that you almost died because of the stupidity you made¨
¨I know I know… but in exchange I saved the day, didn't I… Uh…¨ The head from the two boys started to hurt, they felt strange at the moment but it was even more weird that this effect only lasted a few seconds ¨That was weird…¨
¨Yeah…¨ Ren nodded ¨So… how did it feel? You know… kissing a Star Guardian?¨
¨It felt… great, she had a familiar scent, but I can't put a finger where I smelled it before…¨ He looked at the now darkened sky full of stars ¨Wonder who that girl was...¨
¨You'll find out one day, for now let's get out of here before any cops show up¨ The president and the vice nodded and the three students ran away from the park with their belongings and a lot of footage and pictures from the battle. Ren was certain that everything they collected that night was worth a lot.
Battle, kisses and a sworn enemy, man this had a lot of things. So expect some things to go dark for a lot of people, Ren has a lot of footage for the principal but there is no doubt Katarina will have some grudge with that club, especially since Ez decided to step into save his girlfriend.
No reviews but got follows and favs, thanks to everyone who still support the story. Maybe I'll release a chapter for this story or maybe for Heroes & Legends, I'm still debating on which one to work on next. Also, next week (or actually two since we are still on Sunday) is my birthday, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
But don't let that distract you from the fact that my name is Tourvelix and I'm saying you what I always said for years:
See you in the next chapter ;)
