CHAPTER 7
Teamwork
Yet another morning of rushing to get out the door before its too late. The two rushed to Training Class before the bell rang. They barely made it.
"Today we will be teaming up for battle. We will start off with…" Boomer looked at his clipboard. "Toireann and Peace as Team 1. Booth and Kilmen as Team 2. Suit up and get on the court." He went and sat on his referee chair with a look of anticipation.
Warren and Tempeste dragged their feet all the way to the suit up area. Tempeste started eyeing the competition. Will Booth had the ability to manipulate electricity and his partner Kathy Kilmen could shape shift into a 17-foot tall fire-breathing dragon.
"Coach!" Kathy yelled from where she stood. "Is it cool I go without armor it's a hindrance."
"Sure whatever." He replied uninterested.
"Coach, me too. Okay?" Tempeste shouted as she took her place on the court.
"Fine, But why?" Coach was a little taken back by this request.
"You'll see." She said without looking up at him.
"Whatever, Toireann against Booth. Kilmen against Peace. Same goal as before cuff them and the game is over. GO!" Coach settled into his chair to watch the fight.
The four went into fighting stance. Kathy shifted into a deep red dragon. Will and Warren powered up. Tempeste stood still in her usual prayer stance.
Will thought he knew what to expect from this young girl, when he fired his high voltage energy ball straight at her heart. She moved to avoid the hit. Opening her eyes she looked up at the ceiling as it retracted. Her eyes turned gray with lightning in them.
Clouds were forming over them and the lightning struck Will. Shocked he received the hit straight on. He felt the energy working through his body. Was she stupid? He could use the new energy against her. What he didn't realize was that he couldn't move as his body digested the new energy. By the time he could he had been cuffed and pushed to the side.
Tempeste found Warren on the opposite side of the gym dodging fiery streams coming from Kathy. She had just put her paw around him creating a cage. He tried to burn his way out to no avail.
Tempeste gathered wind around her feet to pick herself up she summoned the four winds in a low eerie whisper. And pushed it all at Kathy pushing her into the back wall, releasing Warren. Tempeste was still raised above the ground she moved quickly to face Kathy eye to eye.
"Do you want fight someone your own size?" Tempeste whispered.
"Yeah, I would but I'll settle by taking you out first. Looks like it's just you and I now anyway." Kathy pointed her claw at Warren, who was passed out on the floor.
Tempeste smiled at Kathy. "Take a good look sweetie. Cause you'll be out cold in just a sec." She moved back a little the wind died down.
A black smoke came over Tempeste, creating a tunnel. Then as fast as it came it left, showing Tempeste's new outfit. A red halter made of fire, a miniskirt of black fire, and boots of black ice. She had flames in her eyes as she raised her head up slightly to look at Kathy. Kathy tried breathing fire at her it was simply absorbed, she tried to stomp her but was stopped by something.
Ice froze her foot to the floor. Tempeste fained a yawn and a black mist surrounded Kathy in whole. When it cleared, Kathy was back to her usual shape and cuffed. She was out cold just like Tempeste had promised. Tempeste walked calmly over to Warren.
"Warren?" No response. She felt his pulse it was very weak. To the shock of the crowd she lifted him up with ease and headed to the nurse's office still clad in nothing but fire and ice. "A little help here." She said setting Warren on the table.
"Oh my! I saw what happened. He probably has a concussion." The nurse scanned him over. "Oh, dear it was worse then I thought. He broke 4 ribs, his wrist, and badly injured his knee as well. He probably passed out from the pain, poor thing."
"Shit. Will he be okay?"
"Well he should be…" She paused looking closer at his chest. "That is if we can stop the internal bleeding. I'm going to go get some medicine." The nurse walked out of the room.
"Fuck! Why did you have to get hurt? Damn It!" Tempeste hit her fist into the wall. Then she turned to see Kathy conscious and smiling at her.
"Bitch!" Tempeste practically growled as she lunged at her.
"Ms. Toireann! Get off her!" Nurse Spex tried to get her off of Kathy, but Tempeste was burning hot to the touch. "This will not help Mr. Peace." She had said the right thing. Tempeste backed off.
"We'll fight again and next time I won't hold back." She told the girl in front of her with venom in her voice. Kathy turned and left without a reply.
"Nurse Spex? Can you keep a secret?" Tempeste looked defeated as she asked the question.
"Well, that depends."
"What if this secret could potentially save Warren?" She was begging now no shame.
"If you can save Mr. Peace, then yes I'll keep your secret." The nurse knew how badly this could get if the bleeding didn't stop.
"Thank You." She was sincere, her outfit shifted to a white gown made of clouds. She put her hands on Warren's arm. She could feel the pain now. The wounds went deep, the blood kept pouring. She knew as the nurse knew that this could be lethal. She pulled a chair next to the table Warren was on. "You will have to leave the room, no one can be here except Warren and I."
The nurse obeyed, for some reason she knew that she should do as the girl said. Tempeste looked down at her roommate. She put her hands over his heart. A white light covered her body. Her head tilted back as stars formed in her eyes. The light quickly spread to Warren, his eyes shot open. She looked down at him tears forming in her eyes, her hands moving down his chest. She was absorbing the pain.
Her head fell down. She fell backwards on the floor a cloud covered her as a blanket as she lost consciousness.
