Chappie 3
Karleniia woke the next morning to find that it wasn't even dawn yet. But none the less she was awake so she untangled herself from her sheets, opened the flap, and poked her head out into the dark. She groggily gazed around. Snap! Her eyes darted in the direction of the noise. Muscles tense and eyes alert she wasn't sure if she should go back into the tent or grab her katana and be ready to strike. But before she could think she heard a voice.
"I heard that you beat Jafar but I had to find out for myself. So I went and talked to him. And I found out that he HAD been beaten! I was shocked!-"
Looking around she tried to find the source for the noise but her efforts were fruitless.
"Ummm… excuse me…" Karleniia half attempted to make herself known but all was lost in vain when the voice continued.
"But I have to tell you Jafar didn't even TRY! If he was ready and willing to fight, you would have been taken down in a matter of seconds!"
She sounds awfully young. I wonder who she is.
"Umm. Excuse me but-"
"I don't think he even tried! He knew you were a girl so he held back-"
"EXCUSE ME!" Karleniia said "I've been trying to get your attention! But you keep going on about that stupid little fight-"
"Stupid fight? STUPID FIGHT! Well I-"
"Would you shut up for a minute?"
Satisfied with her speeches results and taking the voices silence as a good thing she continued.
"Anyway would you mind telling me who you are? And what the heck your doing lecturing me before daylight hours!"
"I've come to challenge you!"
dun dun dun dun!
The sun was just beginning to rise out of the tops of the trees in the east and the day was slowly becoming brighter and brighter. Before long Karneliia was able to make out the shape of a person standing to the right of her. The girl had green hair and like herself bright green eyes. But on the other hand she was quite a bit shorter. After a while Karleniia noticed she was staring right at her and she was a bit startled.
For a long while they stayed that way, staring.
As the sun got brighter it gleamed across the field and the tents cautiously as so not to disturb anyone sleeping. It crept over to the other end of the field and kept going, over to the mountains until everything in view was awakened by its warmth. The sun's morning ritual was soon disturbed by a loud voice.
"Come on! I said I challenged you! I must get revenge for Jafar!"
Looking at her with a look of disgust and confusion she responded,
"Look, kid, I'm going back to sleep so why don't you go pick flowers or something."
The girl's eyes narrowed at the spiteful comment.
"Who are you calling a little kid-"
"I didn't call you little. I just said you were a kid." She smiled with her head cocked and eyebrow raised.
"WHATEVER! I am the amazing Nino! I shall demolish you with one stroke of my hand! You shall be literally shocked! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!"
Karleniia smiled. This was just what she needed! A good fight to get her pumped.
"Alright let's go!"
She dived back into her tent and dug around in her blankets looking for her katana. Unearthing it from under a pile of old clothes and trash she belted it to her side. Before she left she glanced back at Marissa.
Fast asleep.
She smiled warmly.
Snoring, too.
She rolled her eyes and quietly exited so not to disturb her.
How can she sleep through all the racket we're making?
Back outside the two of them walked side by side into the open field and prepared to fight.
"Just cause you're a little girl doesn't mean I'm gonna hold back." She smiled. She knew Nino wasn't little or a pushover. She just liked to tease her.
"That's exactly what I want. Go!"
Karleniia grabbed her katana and charged. Nino was preparing for an attack but was too late. Karleniia jumped high into the air and cascaded downward straight towards Nino. Nino quickly dodged the whizzing katana and shouted,
"THUNDER!"
A huge bolt of lightning expelled itself from the heavens right onto Karneliia.
Crap!
Karneliia tried to jump out of the way but was pushed down to the ground as the lightning hit her square on the shoulder.
"Err…" She grimaced but pulled herself up and prepared to attack.
"Full speed katana charge!"
Immediately pulling into her highest speed possible she rushed by Nino, swiveled around, and ran back as fast as her body would allow. She abandoned the usual ending to the attack and instead jumped and dodged another magic strike and pulled her katana down with all her strength onto Nino shoulder.
"Katana shoulder crush!"
The sword fell powerfully, but gracefully down onto Nino's shoulder.
She screamed and crumpled to the ground. She lie there grasping her dislocated shoulder. She failed to sit up and went unconscious.
"Will she be alright?"
Karleniia, Jafar, and Nino were all crowded into Nino's tent.
After their fight Karleniia dragged Nino back to the camp and told Jafar what had happened.
He looked grimily at the limp body that lay on the blankets. His eyes drifted to her shoulder and he said, "She'll be fine… a few days rest is all."
Karleniia closed her eyes and watched the fight play over in her mind. She was worried. stabbing someone in the side was bad enough, but dislocating someone's shoulder was another thing.
"How's your side." She asked trying to break the unsettling silence.
"I'm fine…"
"Will you be able to join us in battle?"
"…"
The tent flew open and a familiar face screamed "There here! Get ready for some kind of battle!" She disappeared outside followed by the two conscious inhabitants of the tent.
Over at the border were a line of small ant sized figures rushing towards the camp.
"They've finally come…" Jafar whispered.
Karleniia was silent, her heart beating faster than it ever had before.
