We arrived at the tower soon and went back to our usual activities. Well, the others did. I went back to my room and looked around. I had decorated it with posters of animes and mangas that I liked. I picked up the manga I was reading and returned to enjoying it. Not ten seconds later, Robin knocked on my door, so I put the manga on my bed and opened the door enough so that I could see him, "Yes?"
"It's time for training. Whether you join or not, you're gonna be in top physical condition in case of an attack on the tower."
"Okay."
The training room was huge, and the others were already training. "I'm gonna train outside," I said to nobody in particular, turning around. I headed down the hall and climbed the staircase up to the roof. Using my powers over wind, I created an opponent similar in shape to Mammoth. I began fighting with the Mammoth fake, matching it blow for blow, making situations more and more difficult. After a while, Raven came up to the roof and began meditating, so I stopped and went back into my room. Once there, I returned to my manga. Cyborg knocked on the door, nearly making it fall off its hinges. I answered the door, "What?"
"Hey Ranerou, want to play video-games? I've got the latest gamestation model with…" he must not've noticed that I had already left and headed to the main room.
"No way man, how'd you beat me?" Cyborg complained after being defeated at Soul Caliber 2. "I mean, I was Astaroth for cryin' out loud!"
"Nightmare owns, end of story," I replied calmly. "Want to try again? This time I'll be Kilik and you can be Nightmare."
"Okay, you're on!"
Raven walked in and watched us. Odd, I figured she would've went to her room after finishing her meditation, I thought, then gave a mental shrug and returned to defeating Cyborg. "Mind if I play winner," Raven asked. Again, not what I'd expect.
"I wouldn't mind," was my reply.
"Go ahead Raven. I doubt you could win though, because Ranerou is a master at this game," Cyborg said as I defeated Nightmare by literally kicking him out of the ring. "Aw man, I just can't win!" Cyborg left the room in a huff, and Raven picked up his controller and sat next to me. I went over the basics for her and we soon began to play. She won a couple times, but so did I. Robin walked in, turned off the Gamestation, and announced "Movie Night". We all began to vote on a movie genre. The voted genres and votes are as follows: Horror: two, Comedy: one, Documentary: one, Action: one, Sci-Fi: one
I had voted for horror along with Raven. The movie was "Boogeyman" (Never seen it myself, but it's the latest horror movie where I live, so…) and at the end, I was rather freaked out, but didn't show it. Instead, I went up to the roof and focused my mind, blocking out the movie from my mind, and then began to practice my control over my powers, going from a basic gust to wind-blades to actual weapons made of wind. I continued going over the many techniques I had mastered, not realizing somebody else was on the roof. "Nice," I heard Raven say. "But instead of a floor-sweeping gust, try one that hits them in the mid-section." I calmly tried this, and sensed the wind-copies defeated more swiftly.
"Thanks," I said, opening my eyes.
"No problem," she said in her usual monotone voice as she began to meditate.
"Mind if I meditate with you?"
"Go ahead."
I sat down next to her and we both started meditation, using different words to focus our minds. Hers were the usual "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos", but I decided to use three Japanese words instead. "Hikari, Kaze, Arigato." It meant "Light, Wind, Thank You." I chose these because thee light of my heart keeps me from being evil, and my powers are of the wind. Maybe next time, I thought, I'll be able to enjoy spending good bonding time together.
End.
A/C: Heckuvva place to leave it off at, eh? I hope that you will voice your opinion. Do you wish for me to continue? Have any suggestions? On the other hand, maybe you want it removed all together. You tell me what you want. Remember, if it's the majority's wish, this fanfic I shall squish. Bye!
