Jarret
"Are you okay?" Alexander asked Maryanne.
The girl walked shakily to the arena. She seemed fazed by what happened in the arena. She should be proud of herself, Jake couldn't even land a hand on her.
"I just want this day to be over." She said.
Jarret nodded. After today he was probably going to have to see a therapist. These fights were traumatizing. Not that he would actually share these thoughts with anyone. Heroes weren't supposed to be scared.
"Up next is Jarret Han and Kaleb...I have no idea how to pronounce your last name." She blushed.
Kaleb sighed. "It's okay no one does."
Jarret's stomach dropped. He was fighting Kaleb? The same Kaleb who was the size of two Jarret's put together? His muscles made Dwanye Johnson look like a twig. He would kill him.
"Good luck out there Jarret," Kaleb said.
A warm smile was on his face.
"You two." Jarret stammered.
Don't be scared. He said to himself.
The two boys made their way to the arena, Kaleb tried starting a conversation, but Jarret was too nervous to speak? How was he supposed to win this?
"3! 2! 1!"
As soon as Jarret heard one he started to twirl. Not like a ballerina but like a spinning top. Soon he picked up speed, moving faster and faster until he created a mini cyclone. Jarret held out his hands and used them to steer the cyclone towards Kaleb. The boy yelped and leaped into the air. Spider silk shot out of his fingertips and attached themselves to a broken pillar hanging above them.
"Hey watch it!" Kaleb yelled.
He swung from the broken pillars holding on to a thread of spider silk. He looked down to see a helmeted head twirling towards him. His body twisting like a spinning top. Jarret gulped. Take him out!
That was the only thought racing through his mind. Kaleb was massive, and if he let him get to close, he could probably knock him out with a single punch.
Jarret Han
Quirk: Spinning Top- Jarret has the ability to spin himself into a tornado.
Jarret grunted and flew to the left, his lower spinning with great velocity, carefully dodging Kaleb's punches.
"Please don't kill me." Jarret yelped.
Kaleb frowned. "Did you say something?"
Jarret gulped and flew in the other direction. "Nope!" He yelled.
Why had they put him against someone so…strong?
"Get back!" He yelled.
He directed his cyclone legs towards Kaleb and did a kick, the strong wind slammed into Kaleb with incredible force. The boy grunted as he went sailing into the air. He landed on the ground with a rough thud which caused him to cough.
"Can you please stop throwing tornados at me?" He asked.
Jarret growled. "Then stop attacking me."
He leaped up in the air and twirled, his body spinning faster than before. The strong wind lifting him high in the sky. Just a little bigger. He said to himself.
He grunted as the winds became strong enough to pick up the pillars on the floor. He changed his direction and flung them towards Kaleb.
"Take that!" He yelled.
The pillars flew towards Kaleb with great speed. Kaleb grunted as he caught the first one, the way the veins popped out on his forehead, Jarret could tell he was struggling to hold it. Then the second one slammed into Kaleb's chest roughly pinning him against the wall. The whole thing happened so quickly; Jarret couldn't even react. One-minute Kaleb was standing, the next he was unconscious under a pile of rubble.
Jarret coughed and sighed in relief. It was over. The fight was finally over.
Alexander
"Well it looks like the underdogs are rising up to fight." Hunter smirked.
"First Maryanne drowns Jake, and now skinny Jarret throws half of a stadium at Kaleb. This is going to be a fun school year!" Hunter clapped.
Maryanne looked down her feet and sighed. "Can we not talk about that please."
"Don't be ashamed of winning. Especially against someone as rude as Jake." Cleo said.
Alexander looked around at Cleo, Matt, and Lex. They were the only ones that hadn't fought anybody yet. Who would they put him against? What was their quirks?
"Alexander and Cleo, you guys can go ahead and head to the arena." Mrs. Zambiea said.
Cleo looked down at her feet awkwardly, which made Alexander feel guilty. Cleo seemed like a nice girl. He didn't want to hurt her. The two walked to the arena in silence. The tension was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.
"3! 2! 1!" She yelled.
As soon as she counted to one, Cleo turned to her and opened her mouth releasing an unholy screech. The sound was so loud that he could even see the sound waves. He covered his ears and screamed in pain; his brain felt like someone hammering nails in side of it. He could hear pieces of stone shattering.
Cleo McScream
Quirk: Siren- Cleo has the ability to alter the volume of her voice.
Alexander groaned when she finally stopped screaming. The room began to spin, and his knees buckled.
"I'm impressed, usually that would take my opponents out." Cleo said.
Alexander stood up and balled his fists up. "I'm not like most people."
Moving quickly, he grabbed some dirt and blew it in her face. Cleo coughed rapidly, falling backwards. The dirt flew in her nose, making it hard to do anything except gag and sneeze. Alexander took this as an opportunity to strike.
Alexander Aspida
Quirk: Achilles Eye- Whenever Alexander gazes at something for at least ten seconds without blinking he can spot the weakness of it.
Her throat. Her vocal cords. Big rock. The solution seemed so obvious to Alexander even without his quirk.
He grabbed a rock and swung, aiming for her throat. However, Cleo regained her composure and let loose another sonic scream. They sound waves slammed into his hand making him drop the rock.
She tried to scream again but he spun around punched her in the throat, causing her to fall back. She coughed gasping for air.
"Bastard." She wheezed.
Alexander grunted went for her throat again. But she opened her mouth and whistled. A whistle so loud that Alexander stopped in his place. His head was throbbing. Cleo jumped on top of him, pinning him under her body weight and continued to scream. Which had devasting effects in such a close range? Alexander screamed, which only made Cleo smile.
Like a cat that had its prey. Alexander grunted and moved his head forward, headbutting the girl. Cleo screamed and jerked her head backward. His whole world spun, but he had just enough focus to kick her off him.
"You're crazy." He coughed.
He grabbed her arm and activated his power. Her neck. There were a ton of pressure points there. He growled and karate chopped the back of her neck. She yelped in pain and collapsed. Alexander sighed in relief. His brain felt like it was on fire. Something wet was dripping down his ear.
He frowned and reached out to touch it. Blood. Then everything went black.
Lex
Cleo rose slowly. Coughing. "Did I win?"
Her eyes wandered to the unconscious Alexander. Holy crap that was a lot of blood.
"And then there were two." Mrs. Zambiea said.
It seemed like a weak attempt to lighten the mood. Lex looked down at Alexander, his head was surrounded by a pool of blood spilling out his ears. Lex gulped it seemed like everybody was leaving the arena severely injured. He didn't like the odds for his match.
"I guess I don't even need to call your names." She sighed.
Matt shook his head. "You don't."
She smiled. "Good luck you two."
Lex frowned. It was strange that he and Matt would be the last two. Was there any particular reason?
Matt turned to Lex. "Good luck."
"3! 2!" Mrs. Zambiea called.
Lex nodded. "Same to you."
"1!" She yelled.
Matt held up his hands and began to yell. "Ahi!"
A fireball shot out of his palms and aiming for Lex. Lex sighed and held out his hands. Using his quirk always felt very anticlimactic. Lex's eyes glowed with a heavenly golden light. Then Matt screamed in pain and jerked his hand back.
This caused the fire to go off course and hit the wall behind Lex.
Lex sighed. "Let me guess finger cramp?"
Matt growled. "Is that you're quirk?"
Lex shrugged. "You could say that."
"Woda!" Matt yelled.
He held his hands and a stream of water shot towards Lex, Lex's eyes glowed again, and a piece of the broken rubble fell from the pillar and landed in between the boys. The water ricocheting off the pillar and slamming into Matt. Throwing the boy backwards. Matt yelped as he was thrown under the current.
Lex smiled. Now was his chance. Using the element of surprise, while Matt was disorientated he charged and delivered a series of punches to the boy's jaw. He rolled out of the way just as Matt gained focused.
"Are you telekinetic?" He asked.
Lex smirked. "I'm afraid my power isn't that interesting."
"Then how the hell are you doing this?" Matt yelled.
Lex shrugged. "Have to beat me to figure that out."
"I will." Matt growled.
"Terra!" Matt yelled.
Giant chucks of the earth rose from the ground and rotated around his fists like it was the sun, and the rocks were little planets. Matt charged forward, using his rocks as an extra fist, when his foot slid on a puddle and he tripped, his body flying forward where he did an awkward face plant.
Lex laughed. He couldn't help it, the boys just looked so funny flailing around.
Lex Dayton
Quirk: Bad Luck- Lex can cause bad luck for others within his sight. The damage can vary from small petty pranks to uncontrollable destruction. The more destructive he is the worse is the repercussions for him (aka Karma)
He knew using his power so much would cause some bad luck for himself later. It was the universe's way of balancing things out. Matt rose slowly and growled. Lex frowned when he noticed something Matt's eyes. It was more than anger, it was rage. Like a wild animal.
Matt
How dare he! How dare he laugh at him like this was some joke. Like he was a joke!
"I'll kill you." Matt growled.
"What?" Lex answered confused.
"I'll fucking kill you!" Matt yelled.
The only thought flowing this mind was that he needed to take him out. No one laughed at him. No one made him seem weak.
"Pohzar!" He yelled.
He curled his fists and launched a fireball. Lex only had just enough time to roll out of the way as it almost hit him.
"I'm going to kill you!" Matt repeated.
"Ar!" Matt yelled.
He clapped his hands and a strong wind emitted from hands towards Lex. Lex growled and his eyes glowed gold again, the wind suddenly changed course missing him completely.
Lex pointed his fingers towards Matt and closed his eyes. Matt charged; he couldn't let him use his power. Whatever it was. As he was running, Matt's stomach rumbled. He stopped suddenly, his skin was suddenly very sweaty, and his head throbbed.
"What's the matter are you sick?" Lex smirked.
Matt opened his mouth and vomited. His entire breakfast firing from his mouth to the floor, which caused Lex to turn away in disgust.
"Today really isn't your day is it?" He asked.
Matt groaned and looked up at Lex. "You won't win."
Lex snapped his fingers and suddenly all of the pillars shattered, concrete raining down on them.
"I think I will." Lex smiled.
Matt growled and held his hands up. A shield of air protecting his head from the concrete. Matt looked up at Lex's smug face and snarled. It was time to end this. He held up his hands and focused on what he imagined Lex's lungs looked like.
Lex stopped suddenly and gasped, which caused Matt to smirk. He was out of breath literally. Matt grinned as his slowly pulled the wind out of Lex's lungs. Lex coughed, his face slowly going purple.
"Matt stop!" Mrs. Zambiea yelled.
At least he thought that was her. All the voices just faded into the distance as Matt turned his focus to Lex's limp body. He was going to win. He had to. Then Lex's eyes glowed golden. Suddenly Matt's headache returned causing him to grimace in pain.
Something wet was running down his face. Reacting on instinct he reached out and touched it and was surprised to see it was red. Blood. His nose was bleeding?
"Oh fuck."
That was the last thing he said before he passed out. His body slouching.
Mrs. Zambiea
Sara Zambiea only had one thought racing through her mind.
These kids are fucking insane.
Just to clarify if there is any confusion. Sarah is the student, while Sara is the first name of Mrs. Zambiea. The H at the end really makes a difference, lmao. Also technically there are two Alexanders in the class. However, Alexander Dayton, is actually Lex, Alexander is full name. Alexander Aspida is the one actually goes by the name Alexander.
