Chapter 1: Cats and Dragons Can be Vicious

"Battle! Battle! Hey, everyone! It's a battle!" one kid on the school
playground shouted. Everybody obviously heard his call because the
whole school came running. Including the teacher on duty. But he
wasn't going to stop the battle; he was going to referee!

You see, in the world, people have magic. It's nothing like in medieval times when magic was thought to be evil and associated with the devil. Magic, now, has become a way of life. 95% of the world's human population has and uses magic, 3% don't use it and the last 2%, well, are clinically insane.

These days, magic can be used to help get around, heal, etc. Yet, the favourite among today's youth is to battle. It's not dangerous, but it can still damage someone's pride when they lose to an enemy. There had been a school team tournament going on and many people were trying to boost their teams points. On average the female division did better than the male.

The crowd grew as more people were told about the battle. People kept pushing to see who was battling. It seemed to be the Hissy Cats and the Dragon Fangs. The Hissy Cats were the second place team in the female division. The Dragon Fangs were second place in the male division. The Hissy Cats and the Dragon Fangs were ally teams.

"Excuse me. Excuse me. Sorry. Hey! Aren't you supposed to be in detention?" The teacher/ref said while he was trying to get through the thick crowd of students.

"You ready?" A girl with shoulder-length, brown hair on the Hissy Cats asked the other team. She seemed to be the leader.

"Ready to win you mean, right, Cati?" Said a boy with sandy hair the Dragon Fangs. Her also seemed to be the leader.

"Alright, you two," the ref said. He obviously used his own magic because he now had a refs uniform on (not black and white, but blue and yellow. I know it's tacky, but it's the traditional uniform since the mid 1850's). "Now, this will be a 2 on 2 match; magic only. No weaponry. Every one have their crystals? Good. Start at my whistle. Everybody, back away from the circle."

With the ref's word, everyone backed away.(except for the one's who never really pay attention. They eventually got back, though).

Wwwhhhheeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! The whistle blew. Off the teams went. It was the girl who was called Cati was against the boy who commented to her before the match. Apparently, his name was Blake. The other two who were against each other were Stacie and Ray.

"Let's start with something easy!" Cati mocked Blake. "Oh, source of all power, light which burns beyond crimson, let thy power gather in my hand. FIREBALL!" Cati chanted a spell. The spell made a fireball appear in her hands. She launched it towards Blake. Blake dodged it just in time but his vest caught fire. Blake tried to put it out, making him vulnerable to a direct hit.

"LY BRIEM!" Cati used the Ly Briem (obviously) which can freeze the target on contact. On doing so, Blake's crystal quickly became darker and darker until it went black.

"wwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeee" The whistle blew. "The Hissy Cats win!" The ref yelled out just as Ray was about to use the Digger Bolt on Stacie (a spell which can electrocute the target). The ref then used a fireball to unmelt the ice around Blake. He was okay, just a little tired and hurt that he lost to a girl. He was a bit macho, as you could probably tell.

"I don't know how we could lose. Blake and I are the most powerful on our team. Blake's even the leader!" Ray told Stacie and Cati.

"Being the leader or most powerful doesn't necessarily mean that he's the smartest on the team, right, Cati?" Stacie told Ray and Blake.

"Yeah," Cati wasn't paying attention. This battle didn't matter to her. She knew that she could beat the Dragon Fangs easily. What her real goal was to beat the team which always humiliated them during a battle. The one team that would give her the most joy beating: Team E Star. The Dragon Fangs felt the same way but not towards Team E Star but to the Fire Flames, the first place male team. How ironic that the Hissy Cats and the Dragon Fangs two teams are ally teams as well, huh?

The Dragon Fangs and the Hissy Cats were walking on the asphalt talking when they saw shadows, eight shadows. They were near a tree. Shadowy hair blowing in the summer breeze. The two teams walked over to the tree to see that the shadows were gone. In place there was a note.

Look behind you.

"Wanna battle?" Said eight voices simultaneously. It was them. Team E
Star and the Fire Flames.

Did ya like it? Did ya hate it? Are you insanely insane? Tell me so in
the reviews! Talk l8er! Bye Now!

Andrefla, Briar, and Lady Knight Keladry: Bye!
