AN: Ok…
ame: I know that Warren seems OOC, but since no one really knows how homecoming effected him it could be that he's not. Since no one knows how he's going to react I have been writing him as I think he would. Sorry if you think he's still OOC, but he's probably going to stay that way.
phantomofthemusical: Thanks so much for that review. You have no idea how much that helped.
Everyone: I know that I'm being slow about updating but I'm having some problems at home and school so I don't really have that much time to update. I am so sorry about this, but it's probably going to be slow for awhile.
Ok, now that that's out of the way, on with the chapter.
Chapter 8: Save the Citizen?
oOoOoOo
Kattianna watched the crowd wondering who Boomer would choose. It didn't really matter much.
"I think we'll put you against… Tyner and Steele," Boomer said.
She looked at Warren, well really glared at him. "What are we up against?"
"Tyner is a water worker and Steele transforms to cover himself in plate armor," he stated shortly.
"Great…"
The two boys stepped down and Tyner suited up. Steele just transformed and Boomer nodded before they stepped into the arena.
Kattianna glanced at the "citizen", which was really a wooden manikin, hanging above the mulcher. Their citizen was dressed as a business man in a black suit and tie, and holding a briefcase.
"Ready… Set… GO!" Boomer yelled.
oOoOoOo
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kattianna drop into a defensive crouch and raise her hands in preparation. Tyner started towards him and he ignited his hands. Ms. PMS would just have to take care of herself. He threw a fireball at Tyner knowing that it would be in vain, but he had to start somewhere.
At the last minute Tyner switched direction and darted towards Kattianna, leaving Warren to deal with Steele.
oOoOoOo
Kattianna growled and slapped her hands against the floor immediantly shifting into a lioness. She swiped at the water worker with one of her forepaws and roared.
Apparently the older student didn't know what he powers were because he paused for a fraction of a second in shock. That time was enough for Kattianna to advance. She swiped again, catching the armor and knocking him across the gym. He got up, but he was a bit more wary of her claws.
oOoOoOo
Warren faced off with Steele and began to throw fireballs at him. If he could just heat the metal body enough, maybe the boy would lose control.
Steele dodged his fireballs and advanced towards him. Warren knew that if Steele got a good hold on him, he wouldn't be able to escape in time.
oOoOoOo
The water worker moved in again, sending a wave of moister towards her.
Kattianna growled and shook out her coat. She didn't like water in her fur. She swiped at him again and managed to get close enough to shoulder him into the wall. His head hit this time and it took him a little longer to get up. She growled and backed him against the wall again. She glanced at the clock, two minutes down.
oOoOoOo
Warren glanced at the clock, two minutes down and he still hadn't hit Steele. This was NOT a good record. He focused on Steele and continued his assault.
Steele smiled. He moved in allowing one of Warren's fireballs to hit him and reached out a long, gorilla like arm to slam his fist into Warren's chest.
Warren felt like he was going through free fall. Well, until he slammed into a wall. Normally it wouldn't really phase him in STC to hit walls… but the lack of armor made it a little more difficult to pop right back up.
oOoOoOo
Katt saw Warren go down and for some reason that made her mad. More than mad. She was ticked. She roared and slammed into Tyner. He hit the wall, and this time, he didn't get up. She lunged toward the citizen and knocked it to the ground.
"GAME! HERO'S WIN!" yelled Boomer.
Katt roared once more before turning back into herself and walking towards her downed partner.
oOoOoOo
AN: Not one of my better pieces of writing, but it's an update. This is the best I can do under the circumstances at the moment. Sorry guys... please r/r.
