Here is the next chapter! I did a few chapter title mistakes earlier. But it should be alright now.


Chapter 14: Deadly Thunder

"Tania, Tania!" cried Fumika the very next morning. Tania was passing by her house that time. Tania smiled, "Good morning, Fumika. I completely forgot to congratulate you on the day where you were added on the finalist."

Fumika nodded, "Thanks, I won my first championship round yesterday! Ayumi was my helper!" Fumika smiled and look at Jinara. Her eyes were glimmering. Tania looks at Jinara and smiled. Tania took Jinara down and showed it to Fumika.

"You like Jinara, don't you?" Tania asked. Fumika nodded and smiled, "When the day I first went to my new school, Catherine and I passed by a huge screen! An Angelic Fight was on. Catherine and I watched it and I saw Jinara. I saw her white Angel Wings! It was beautiful!" Fumika went on.

Tania started crying. Fumika looked up, "What's wrong, Tania? Is there something I said?" Fumika asked. Tania smiled and rubbed her tears, "Nothing, nothing at all. I'm alright!"

Fumika frowned and smiled, "I don't have school today! Promise me you'll watch my Angelic Fight today! Catherine is going to fight me again and I want you to be there for me!"

Tania rubbed away more tears and smiled, "I will, promise." Fumika smiled and ran away. Tania stopped crying and followed Fumika to the Angelic Layer Battle Arena.

Oh, Fumika… What's wrong with me? I lied… I lied… Thought Tania. Tania was catching up, but then she started coughing out blood again. Fumika stopped and turned around, "Tania, are you…" Fumika started at the blood on the blood. Fumika stepped back.

Tania took out some medicine and ate it quickly. Fumika walked forward and asked, "Tania, are you alright?" Fumika remembered she read a book once, that's a disease. "You got a disease, right?" Fumika asked.

Tania smiled, "Yes, I never told you, but I do." Fumika forced a smiled and said, "Tania, maybe you shouldn't watch, you Angelic Battle after all." Fumika said. Tania smiled, "I'm alright. I kept my promise, remember?"

Fumika smiled and walked away. Tania followed her. "Hey, Fumika! Here I am!" Ayumi yelled, coming out from a shop. Ayumi raced to Fumika. :Hi, Fumika… This is…. Tania Russly?" Ayumi asked.

Fumika nodded and said, "Yes, I never told you, but I made friends with Tania Russly." Fumika turned to Tania, "Tania, this is Ayumi, my helper in the championships."

"I don't believe I'm meeting the Tania Russly! The champion of Angelic Layer!" Ayumi's eyes were glimmering as well, "Fumika, let's go! We got a match ahead of us!"

Fumika smiled, "Sure, come on Ta…. Tania? Where are you?" Fumika looked around her surroundings, but Tania Russly wasn't to be seen." Ayumi smiled, "May she left while we were talking. Most probably she went to the Angelic Layer Battle Arena without us."

"Or maybe home…" Fumika whispered. "Did you say something?" Ayumi asked, Fumika smiled widely, "Nothing. Nothing at all! Let's go!"

"Now we see a repeated match! Fumika Himura verses Catherine Camolous! Angel Rinrei verses Angel Chikori! Who will win this time?" yelled the announcer.

"Let the Pure Angel rise! Angel, Fall In!" cried Catherine and threw Chokri into the Layer. Fumika continued, "White Angel Wings! Please let the sun shine on Rinrei! Angel, Fall In!"

The Layer was turned into a misty forest. It was hard to see, that's what makes it challenging. "Angelic, fight!" yelled the announcer. "I'll finish this quickly." Said Chikori. She closed her eyes and opened them quickly. She put her hand together and punched the ground

The crack was heading to Rinrei. Fumika observed the earthquake Chikori formed. The ground…It's splitting like a pattern… a pattern that can... Fumika thought. "Rinrei, dance, dance to avoid the cracks!" Fumika yelled to Rinrei.

Rinrei tried her own dance moves. But they seem to not be that effective. Rinrei remembered what she saw. Nataku's moves! Sorry, Nataku. Even if you hurt me for using your dance moves, I must win this battle for Fumika. Rinrei thought.

Rinrei started using Natku's moves. She danced on what is left on the floor. When the earthquake stopped, Rinrei was standing on one of the trees. Rinrei jumped down and grinned. "Whoa, Rinrei managed to avoid the earthquake! Awesome!" yelled the announcer as the crowed cheered.

"You're doing well, Rinrei. But I'm sure I can make a bigger one!" Chikori said. Rinrei smiled, "A bigger earthquake would of course be stronger, but it will leave less holes and more land."

Chikori was speechless, she never thought of it. Rinrei smiled, "I saw that attack three times now, I'm sure I can do it!" Rinrei closed her eyes and put her hands together. She opened her eyes quickly and punched the floor.

The ground started to rumble. The cracks appeared and formed an earthquake. "It's my attack. I know how to avoid it!" Chikori jumped on the trees. She was faster than ever. Chikori is able to dodge the earthquake.

Chikori jumped down the high tree. She jumped up the sky and twirled around really fats till all you can see is a huge tornado. Suddenly, thunder, sparks and lightning started to appear.

The lightning shot everywhere around the Layer, causing the tree to burn. The sparks made the Layer bright while the thunder makes loud roaring noises. Suddenly, the lightning formed a circle and surrounded Rinrei.

Rinrei tried to punch her way out, but it's no use, it's just cutting down her health points. "Ah, finally! The attack, Deadly Thunder! Chikori's special attack!" yelled the announcer. Rinrei punched the lightning again. This time a longer time. But she was only making it worse.

What to do? I'm sitting here, because of the Angel with wings… I need to beat Catherine, after all my hard work. I must… but how? Fumika thought. Do it again, Rinrei… Fumika continued thinking.

"Rinrei, if you didn't touch the lightning, you'll be shock." Said Chikori. Rinrei didn't touch the lightning at that time. Suddenly, the lightning kept shocking Rinrei. "The lightning is burning you, burning." Chikori continued. "You can't go through the lightning, it will shock you."

Rinrei punched the lightning again. Fumika observed the lightning shocks. I saw it! That isn't real lightning! It's an illusion, that seems so real, and it feels real. If Rinrei keeps listening to what Chikori says, the fake would become a reality! Rinrei don't listen to what Chikori says, it's all an illusion! Fumika thought.

Rinrei then knew what to do. She stopped listening to what Chikori was saying and punched the lightning. Chikori continued, "You'll get shock even more if you do that." But the lightning wasn't growing bigger at all, it stayed the same. Soon, Rinrei was able to bust out of the lightning.

Rinrei jumped up and punched Chikori. Now, they were having a fair fight. Rinrei manage to kick Chikori out of the Layer. There was a silence, but the announcer cried, "Victory, Angel Rinrei!" The crowd cheered loudly.

Fumika jumped off her egg-shaped chair and picked Chikori up. Fumika ran to Catherine and gave Chikori back to her. "She isn't hurt badly at all, here." Catherine took Chikori up and smiled, "You did great Fumika! Congratulations!"

On the second level of the building, Ariana… or Tania was looking at Fumika's battle with a delighted smile, "The best, Fumika, the best!" Ariana clapped her hands softly and walked off.
