Dragon Ball Match of Freedom!
"Okay, when I said to Veronica that I was excited to the match… I didn't expect to be part of the match!" Laphicet said freaking out as he is standing on the playing field with Rebecca and her dragon Cú Chulainn.
"Yes, we all were certainly surprised and Veronica suggested that you and Zavid would face against each other the match. Especially with only two players on each team." Rebecca said, looking up at Veronica where she and the others are sitting for the view.
"Oh, come on! I want to play this game, it's not fair that it's them!" Eco complained.
"Sorry Eco, but I don't you can play with the other dragons as you are now." Ash pointed out that Eco is a small human-dragon while the dragons are bigger.
"Damn it, why did I have to be born with puny-dummy human body?" Eco asked.
"To be honest, Eco, that's what we're all thinking. Why us six are born as human with the power of the dragon and for what purpose? It just doesn't make sense." Eizen wondered, trying to figure the big mystery.
"I'm more worried about Zaveid going against Laphicet, I had hope that the two can become friends but it ended like this." Cosette said.
On the other side of the field, Zaveid is right in front of Lancelot with Silvia on his back while doing some stretches and feeling excited for his first time participating in the match.
"Alright, hope you got your game-face on Silvia because I believe this is going in the school's history books!" Zaveid declared.
"Just stay focus, I don't know much about Laphicet's strength but I do know that Rebecca is incredibly strong, so it may be tough getting pass her." Silvia informed her maid's dragon.
"Don't worry, I'll try to get the ball first and pass it on to you when you get close enough to the goal." Zaveid planned.
The referee looks left and right at both team seeing that they are ready, he blew his whistle calling Laphicet and Zaveid to come to the center of the field.
"Alright, wish me luck." Laphicet said before jumping off the big red dragon.
"It's showtime!" Zaveid smirked.
Both human-dragons walk toward each other to the center and stop a few feet as they give each other intense stare, as Laphicet felt nervous of doing this. Everyone in the crowd are getting excited that they're about to see a battle between two human-dragons wondering which of them will have the advantage over the other, some are worried while others are curious to see how this match will go.
"I hope you're ready to eat my dust, kid." Zaveid taunted.
"We may be born with different appearance, but I seem to call that we're both born around the same time meaning you're also a kid." Laphicet talked back. Oh, burn.
Then the ball is thrown in the air and the two dragons jump towards it wondering who would get the ball first, then Zaveid use his size advantage to kick the ball away towards Silvia as Lancelot catches it and the game starts. Silvia tries to make for the goal but soon face Rebecca and her dragon coming towards her for grab the ball, the blonde princess saw Zaveid waving at her to pass the ball to him.
"Lancelot!" Silvia shouted, the white dragon quickly threw the ball at Zaveid.
Zaveid was about to catch it until Laphicet suddenly got between them, intercepting the ball grabbing it and run towards Zaveid and Silvia's goal.
"Yeah! Go Laphicet!" Veronica cheered jumping from her chair. She saw everyone looking at her strange, she quickly calm herself down and sat back down.
Laphicet runs at full speed reaching for the goal to score, to be honest this felt thrilling to him, Silvia and Lancelot charge after him from the side as Lancelot swing it's claws at him hoping to snatch the ball away from him. However, Laphicet saw this coming and jumps over the claws and threw the ball with all his might and the ball made contact to the goal scoring first for his team.
"Nice work, Laphicet!" Rebecca complimented.
Silvia is upset that they now have the upper hand, she refuses to lose in front of her big sister and will show her how determine she is of becoming Arch Dragonar that she admired so much when she was a little kid.
"Hey!" Zaveid called out getting Silvia's attention.
"Don't worry, I ain't giving up on freedom and either should you!" Zaveid said with a thumb up, Silvia smile glad to have someone like him to be Cosette's Pal.
Soon, the next round start with Silvia getting the ball this time and charge for the goal until Rebecca gets in the way as her dragon puts up a barrier in front blocking the ice-princess's path. Silvia gasps worry that her chances are slipping and thought about going over the dragon, if that what she was really going to do.
"Zaveid!" Silvia shouted, quickly turning Lancelot around with its back facing the barrier.
Zaveid runs at the big white dragon and jump into its hands grabbing the ball then Lancelot lift his arms strong to throw the dark-skinned human-dragon over the barrier shocking Rebecca. Zaveid see the goal thinking of throwing it from this high point, but saw Laphicet jumping at him to block his chance of scoring. Laphicet tries to grab the ball but Zaveid does a kick-backflip as he quickly dodges it, with that little distraction Zaveid lets go of the ball for a moment and kick it right under the little dragon boy. It flew down at high speed and hits the goal gaining a score for Silvia's team as everyone cheers for such a great game so far.
"Oh yeah, in your face little nugget!" Zaveid cheered while rubbing in Laphicet's face.
"Wow, that was good teamwork!" Ash commented.
"Indeed, this may turn out to be interesting." Angela said.
"Let just hope they don't go overboard." Dezel worried.
"Come on, Dezel, it's just a friendly competition. What's the worst that could happen?" Prim asked.
The game continues on with both teams going neck and neck at each other as neither are giving in. The next score goes to Laphicet and Rebecca, then Zaveid and Silvia, then Laphicet and Rebecca again, then back to Zaveid and Silvia, and the patterns goes from for the next forty-two minutes as the score between them is even. While Laphicet and Zaveid look like they still got energy to spare, Rebecca and Silvia seem exhausted along with their dragons as they look at each other deciding this next score will be the final.
The ball is thrown again and Laphicet manages to catch it in his hands and made his way to the goal and pass it on to Rebecca so she can score.
"Oh no, you don't!" Zaveid tried to kick the ball out of his hands and towards Silvia, unknown to him that strong wind are gather around his leg,but he ended up kicking Laphicet in the head instead sending the little boy flying at Silvia knocking her off her dragon and unconscious.
"Eh... oops?" Zaveid sweatdropped, should've paid more attention to his action.
"You were saying?" Dezel asked Prim as she winces from seeing what just happened.
"Eizan, did you just saw what happened to Zaveid's leg?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, that was blow gathering around before he kicked Laphicet." Eizen answered, getting a weird feeling that the wind was trying to help Zaveid.
Laphicet quickly wakes up and groans in pain from the kick, he sees Silvia next to him knock out from the impact of their head colliding.
"Hey Zaveid, what do you say we call this match a draw?" Laphicet asked.
"Really?" Zaveid asked surprises.
"Yeah, I think it's for the best. At least this way, neither team loses and Silvia won't have to be force to marry Glenn." Laphicet stated.
"Heh, I like the way you think little buddy, and I'll admit; you got some skills on the field." Zaveid impressed as he offer his and of friendship.
"Thanks, you were great too!" Laphicet smiled taking the hand and shaking it.
The crowd soon cheer even though there was no winner today, it was still a great match for everyone to enjoy and hope that they'll see something like that again in the next match.
"You know, if they have just talk things out none of this would've happen." Eco pointed out.
"You may be right about that, though I think it's great that those two were able to work things out in the end." Ash smiled.
"I hope that's okay with you, Veronica?" Angela asked.
"To be honest, I actually hoped that Silvia would prove herself of her strength. It didn't matter to me if she wins or lose." Veronica confessed.
"And so, what do you think of her now?" Dezel asked curious.
"She's definitely strong, though she still has a long way to go." Veronica answered as she got up from her chair and walk away, leaving everyone there.
"Sheesh, at least that woman could show a little grateful for Silvia's effort." Eco said.
"Don't worry, that just how Veronica is most of the time, even though she may look scary on the outside she does have a caring heart on the inside." Prim explained.
"Which I take it doesn't show that to other offend?" Dezel guessed, Prim nod.
"(Still, what that with Zaveid's leg? Could it be some sort of… hidden ability, and do we have it too?)" Dezel thought asked himself.
(Later)
Silvia moans a bit before slowly opening her eyes to saw the head-cover of the bed and sat up finding herself in her bedroom.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Ash asked, sitting next to her bed.
"My bedroom, how did I get here?" Silvia confused, the last thing she remembered was that she was at the match though the rest is a bit blurry.
"Ash carried you here, worried about you he decided to stay by your side until you woke up." Cosette explained as she and Zaveid walks in.
"Hey, I like to say I'm sorry about knocking you out. Guess I don't know my own strength." Zaveid chuckled.
"I see, so we lost." Silvia sadden as she looks up.
"Actually, the match be declared a tie." Zaveid mentioned, shocking Silvia.
"Yeah, turns out Laphicet didn't like the idea of you being forced to marry either and thought that with the draw you won't have to go through marrying that Mister Unhappy dude." Zaveid explained.
"And my sister… she agreed to this?" Silvia asked.
"Yep, I was surprised by this too but it seem she was impressed by your strong spirit. Color me surprise." Zaveid said.
Silvia felt her view on her big sister has changed from Zaveid's words, all her life Veronica has always been the strict harsh woman who wanted to show everyone that she can be strong with a dragon partner and now understand that she wanted to help her little sister to become strong in case that Mother Dragon reject her too. And she also saw the changes in Veronica when Laphicet suddenly appeared in her life, literally, like fate is willing to give her a second chance to become stronger and learn what it means to be a Breeder for her dragon. And maybe the two can fight together in the battlefield side by side, and spend some time together on other things too.
"Though I don't think I should be too hard on Glenn, after what happened 10 years ago." Zaveid said.
"Huh, Glenn actually told you what happened?" Silvia asked. She knew that it was a very tough thing for Glenn to talk about, losing your best friend after killing his own dragon.
"Nah, Cosette actually told me about it." Zaveid revealed.
"I just thought that he should be inform of the royal family he'll be serving from now on alongside with me." Cosette stated.
"Though as long as I don't wear those monkey suites, that would totally kill my style." Zaveid said flexing his muscle.
"It's not like you every wear a shirt before." Ash muttered.
"I heard that!" Zaveid said, super dragon hearing.
"Y-yeah, I'm just glad that Silvia has gotten her freedom. I was actually pretty worried about you." Ash said blushing a bit.
"O-oh, really? I'm sorry for causing you to worry about me." Silvia apologized.
"There's no need to apologizes for, everything turned out well and that's what important." Ash stated placing his hand on top of hers. Silvia blushes a bit but smiles glad to have a great, handsome friend like Ash to comfort her.
"(Wait, when did I see him as handsome?)" Silvia thought asked herself.
"Oh." Zaveid smirked seeing a romantic moment happening now.
"Hey Cosette, don't we have an errand to do?" Zaveid asked playfully.
"Why yes, I do believe we should get to it." Cosette said, catching to Zaveid intention of giving these two some privatice.
As both master and dragon are about to leave the room, Zaveid stopped himself as he just remember something important he was suppose to tell Silvia.
"Oh yeah, Silvia, Veronica said that you will not be joining her on the tour." Zaveid relayed the message.
"What, why?" Silvia asked, confuse of why can't she go on the tour with her.
"She didn't say much, just that she wants you to go to the St. Valeria Church tomorrow and prey for your… success or something like that." Zaveid detailed, can't remember exactly what Veronica said but it's something along those lines.
"Oh, okay." Silvia said, not sure why Veronica wants her to go to a church but doesn't think it'll hurt to go there.
"Anyway, you two have a nice time together." Zaveid smirked walking out the room.
"And don't me us Godparents too soon." Cosette teased before closing the door.
Ash and Silvia blushes of the words, their face beating red like a tomato and realizes they are still holding each other's hands quickly separating them.
"Damn it, it's bad enough that it was just Cosette doing the pointless teasing!" Silvia winced.
"I know, now we have to deal with a male version of Cosette!" Ash panicked.
Out in the hallway, Zaveid and Cosette are smiling together as they also just did a fistbump proud to have made the love ship between Ash and Silvia, and maybe Eco will join in on the threesome.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Well, that was intense with the match going on for Silvia only to end in a draw which was a good thing, hope you like how I made it more exciting and longer than the anime episode. I'm not really much of a sport fan (except for martial arts) but I think that sport may become my second favorite and hope they'll be a second season of Dragonar Academy anime!
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
