Chapter 6: Who Wants Next

Fouzia

"Damn, check out the rack on that one." Hunter cheesed as he watched Aurélie and Sarah walk in the arena. Compared to the two, Aurélie was visibly more mature. Her light indigo hair and eyes only added more to her attractiveness.

"Sarah has a pretty nice ass too." Jake smirked.

Fouzia rolled her eyes. "Pigs."

"Come on Fouzia, I'm sure when you're with your girlfriends' you guys talk all about our abs, jawline, and dicks. Isn't it only fair if we do the same?" Hunter said,

Jake laughed. "Yeah, equality or some shit."

"You two are going to die virgins." Fouzia gagged.

Matt turned to Fouzia. "On behalf of every male, I apologize for those two. We don't claim them." Hunter flipped him off in response.

Fouzia laughed. "Nice to know you aren't all cavemen."

"Thanks, I think." He smiled before pointing to the arena. "So, are you rooting for Sarah?"

Fouzia crossed her arms. "Why in the hell would I do that?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Isn't she your roommate."

"Doesn't mean I have to like her." She said.

"Fair enough. I think she has a crush on me." He observed.

"Understandable, you have the whole Abercrombie model look." She said.

Matt blushed. "I do?"

Fouzia rolled her eyes. "Never said that was a good thing."

He laughed. "Whatever. She seems nice though."

"She's nice to you because she wants to bang you, she's a tyrant to everyone else," Fouzia said.

"She's probably just a little misunderstood," Matt said.

Fouzia rolled her eyes. "I refuse to have sympathy for Satan."

Sarah

"Why hello there Aurélie, you look less like a transvestite from close up." Sarah said.

Aurélie rolled her eyes. Now she understood what Fouzia was talking about. Not even thirty-seconds and she already wanted to kick her teeth in. "Funny."

"Get ready! 3!" Sara yelled.

Sarah and Aurélie slowly stepped away from each other. The girls were eager to put some distance between them to gain some more room. Sarah smirked. She knew she was going to win this.

"2!"

"1!"

As soon as one was called Aurélie charged. Sarah rolled her eyes. She could tell this fight was going to be boring. She held her hands out at Aurélie and her motions slowed.

"What the hell?" She grunted; it was obvious she was confused. She walked like she was trying to move through gelatin.

"Checkmate." Sarah grinned.

Sarah Smith

Quirk: Slow Mo- She can slow down anything in a five-meter radius.

Sarah smiled. "You're not going to win this fight."

Aurélie looked up slowly and her eyes flashed a myriad of colors. Sarah raised an eyebrow. Was she activating her quirk? Before Sarah had a chance to react something rough collided with her cheek. She yelped in pain and collapsed to the ground. She groaned and looked up to see someone looking down at her. She gasped when she realized it was Aurélie.

"What the hell?" She slowed her down, she should still be trapped. However, this girl didn't look completely like Aurélie. Face wise they were exactly the same. However, her hair and eyes were bright yellow and she held a scowl. Sarah turned to see Aurélie was standing right where she was earlier.

"Who the hell are you?" Sarah said through gritted teeth.

"The name's Adeline bitch." The yellow-haired girl grinned and cracked her knuckles. "Somebody told me you needed to learn some fucking manners."

Adeline swung again, however this time Sarah was prepared. She held out her other hands and slowed her down. She grunted as slowing down two things at the same time required greater focus and was difficult.

"Sorry, can't let you do that." She turned to see an orange-haired version of Aurélie smirk.

"Pardon me." She looked down to see a green-haired version of Aurélie kicking her foot from out of underneath her. This one wore a pair of spectacles.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Adriana." The orange one said as she punched Sarah in the face.

Sarah grunted in pain when her fist collided with her nose.

"My name is Amelie. If it means anything, this isn't personal." The green haired one said as she grabbed Sarah by the head and drove her knee into her gut. If Sarah had ate anything, she would've thrown up on the spot.

Sarah grunted in pain and howled. She wasn't going to let these fake Aurélie's beat her. She pulled her arms roughly from their grip and froze them. How many of these things did Aurélie have?

"I figured you would stop the others; you can't send peasants to do a queen's job." A voice said.

Before Sarah could slow her down a purple haired version of Aurélie delivered a roundhouse kick to the back of her neck.

"I'm Allison, your outfit is cute. Unfortunately, you are not." She smirked as she kicked Sarah's legs out from under her.

Sarah yelped as her head smashed the concrete. She groaned in pain. She looked up to see all six of the Aurélie's looking down at her.

"You bitch, a cloning quirk?"

"Don't call them clones." Aurélie grabbed Sarah by her hair as she yelled in pain. "These girls are my sisters."

Aurélie Duax

Quirk: Spectral Color- She can create six copies of herself maximum. Each one's hair and eyes is a different color of the rainbow and even possess their own personality and sense of individuality. While they appear human, the copies are made of hard light and are solid to everything, their bodies being more durable than people.

"Hey teach, it's supposed to be a one on one right? Well, isn't this kind of cheating!?" Sarah yelled out at Sara before Aurélie punched her in the cheek.

"This is a training match to test one's quirks and how they employ it!" Sara yelled out answering her. "She is well within the rules."

"You really shouldn't call it cheating when you're the one losing." The green haired one said in a rather monotonous tone as if lecturing her. "It's really poor sportsmanship."

Sarah was barely conscious to respond.

"Is she dead?" A blue-haired one asked timidly.

"No Adele," Aurélie said.

"She's moving." The green-haired one said.

"Don't worry Amelie, I'll take care of that." Adeline smirked.

With one quick motion, Adeline kicked Sarah under the chin, pushing the girl into blackness.

Alexander

"Holy shit," Lex said.

They all watched the training match with conflicted looks. It looked less like a match and more like several Aurélie's ganging up on Sarah. They were not holding back their punches.

Fouzia chuckled at the sight. "If I was capable of feeling bad for her, I would." Fouzia said.

Alexander gulped as he watched the girls take turns punching and kicking her. Even with Sarah's quirk of slow motion, there were too many distractions to focus on one.

Eventually, Sarah went limp, her body a motionless ragdoll on the floor. After the match was decided, the copies of her vanished back into Aurélie's body.

"That was brutal." Maryanne gasped.

"But kinda funny," Hunter said.

Alexander looked at his various classmates. He wondered how far some of them would go to win.

"Next group get ready… Aerolynn Altherr and Kevin Odyemi!"

Alexander turned to look at Aerolynn. He raised an eyebrow, that's the one everyone was saying was mute. Despite the fact she couldn't physically speak, Alexander got the impression even if she could speak, she wouldn't. She looked like the type of person who'd spend all their free time at the public library with a mountain of books. She was very short, at least four feet tall, with long black hair and bright blue eyes. He noticed a pair of sunglasses on her head. Alexander couldn't help but think she was really cute, like younger sibling kind of cute.

"That dude is totally going to let her win, I mean what kinda asshole would beat up a disabled girl?" Hunter asked.

Victoria rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't put it past you."

Alexander turned to look at her opponent, Kevin. He was a boy of average height with umber colored skin and black cornrows.

"What do you think his quirk is?" Lex asked.

"Hopefully, it provides a more entertaining show than this." Jake chuckled.

Kevin

"Hey Kevin." Kevin turned to see Hunter watching him with a smirk.

Oh god he had the scent. The delicious scent. It was all over him.

"I'm Hunter," Hunter said as he introduced himself.

Kevin gulped the scent was growing stronger. Oh god, not here, not now. Kevin looked up to Hunter's arm. A cut that was dripping blood.

Sweet, delicious blood. Kevin's stomach growled in hunger. It had been so long since he last ate.

"Your-a-arm." He stuttered.

He was overcome with his lust. Hunter looked down at his arm and chuckled.

"Yeah, hurts like a mother. Might leave a scar. Mrs. Zambiea told me to go to the clinic, but I don't want to waste anybody's time for a little scratch." Hunter laughed it off.

Kevin gulped. "That makes sense." He wheezed.

His teeth chattering. It was going to happen. He was going to lose control. He couldn't go in the arena. He would go berserk.

"Kevin, please head to the arena." Mrs. Zambiea called.

Kevin gulped and nodded. He made his way towards the stone arena, ignoring his teammates voices. He just needed to focus. He had this under control. He saw Aerolynn standing in the center, a nonchalant look on her face. Kevin's face dropped.

She was a tiny thing, not even reaching five feet. He would tear her apart in that arena. Aerolynn looked up at him and waved awkwardly. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a notepad. On it she wrote: Good luck.

"Listen to me, I need you to forfeit." Kevin gasped.

Aerolynn frowned. Her eyes shooting accusing glares at him. She wrote on her notepad: Don't think you can threaten me."

"You don't understand. My quirk is going to-"

"Go!" Mrs. Zambiea called.

Kevin turned to Aerolynn and sighed. Tears in his eyes. He wanted to forfeit himself, but it was like his body wouldn't let him.

"I'm sorry." He sobbed to her.

Then all hell broke loose.

Aerolynn

Aerolynn didn't trust a lot of people. Growing up mute, people naturally assumed she could be easily manipulated. She had to learn to be suspicious of everyone and everything. So, when Kevin asked her to forfeit, she easily could tell that he just wanted her out of the way. Maybe he wanted to uphold a reputation or maybe he didn't want to beat up the mute girl, but Aerolynn was determined to win.

Then Kevin started crying. He went off in a tangent and just kept apologizing over and over again. Aerolynn concerns grew when his body start to convulse, and he started to howl. Howl like a rapid dog. His veins turned midnight black and threatened to rip through his skin. His brown eyes turned a shade of bright red as he hissed.

He turned towards Aerolynn. His curious look then became a wicked smile on his face. She gulped when she saw his teeth and slowly began to back away. They were sharpened like fangs. If she didn't know any better she would say he looked like a….vampire.

Somewhere in the distance she heard Mrs. Zambiea yelling, but she was too focused on Kevin's transformation to notice. Suddenly she remembered his apologies. He was trying to warn her from this. He couldn't control his quirk!

Kevin Odyemi

Quirk: Vampirism- Kevin gains nutrients from drinking blood both human and animal. His fangs allow him to even suck blood from others. This grants him enhanced speed, strength, senses, and agility. However, the smell of blood causes him to lose all sense of reason and restraint.

He lunged with amazing speed, causing Aerolynn to put up her hands in instinct. Materializing in front of her was four blocks of light. These blocks slowly began to shape themselves into a word:

STOP

Aerolynn punched her fist forward and increased the brightness of the word. Kevin hissed in retaliation, shielding his eyes from the bright light she created. She had put on her glasses to protect her eyes. It was like staring at stadium lights from up close.

Aerolynn Altherr

Quirk: Bubble Letters- Aerolynn can create blocks of energy in the shape of "letters" to form words. She can generate light from these blocks and has the ability to adjust the brightness of these bubble letters to an unknown degree. Too much and she runs the risk of serious eye damage.

Kevin hissed and quickly charged at her side. She did a cartwheel to avoid his attack. This only made him angrier as he growled. She held up her hands and created another word: Kevin!

The bright pink letters of light shot towards him; however, he rolled under it and covered his eyes. With inhuman speed he dove for her legs, knocking her off her feet. She held up her hands to fire another bubble letter but silently cried when she felt a sharp pain pierce her arm. She looked down to see his fangs sinking into her wrist.

A strangled yelp emitted from her throat. Kevin slurped her blood like he was drinking a smoothie, laughing in delight. Aerolynn tried to push him off of her, but she was losing a lot of blood. Everything around her was spinning and her head felt light.

Kevin's last words to her rang in her mind again: I'm sorry.

Sara Zambiea

"Oh my god." Sara said as she held her hands to her mouth.

She read all of the kids' files so she knew what Kevin's quirk was and how he sometimes lost control. However, she didn't realize to this extent. He was practically an animal.

"What the hell is he doing!" Fouzia screamed.

"Don't be ridiculous vampires can't be black." Jake scoffed.

"Now's not the time Jake!" Kaleb yelled.

Maryanne's jaw dropped in horror. "He's killing her."

Kaleb turned to Alexander. "We need to help her." Alexander nodded in agreement.

"All of you stay in your seats!" Sara immediately got up and jumped over the ledge of the stadium. She was their teacher she wouldn't let harm fall upon any of them. She wouldn't let them be scared, especially of their own classmate. With her quirk, she would be able to make it there in no time.

However, out the corner of her eye, she saw a black tendril move.

Sara turned to see a flying black chain wrap around Kevin's neck and pull him back forcefully. His fangs being ripped from Aerolynn's wrists. Kevin howled and tried to rip the chain off, but whatever it was, it was strong, not even rattling as it yanked him forward.

Sara looked at the source and raised an eyebrow. Holding the chain was Victoria. A cold and unreadable expression in her face. She didn't even flinch as Kevin pulled on the chain and struggled like a wild animal.

"Mrs. Zambiea I would like to go next." She spoke.
