((Quick Recap: Skylar and her hero father, Jury-Rig, met up with her villain mother, Chaos, and made plans for Skylar to go away for the weekend))
With a couple days left before Skylar left for the weekend with Chaos, she was was doing some deep thinking. After school she went home and changed in her street clothes. Skylar was now wearing a black tank top with a broken heart icon on it, a gray jean jacket, dark blue jeans and black boots. Skylar went to her favorite music shop and browsed around. When Skylar left the store, a rumbling sound filled the air. Skylar looked around and gasped at the sight of someone with fire and smoke coming from their calves accelerated along the sidewalk. The person was a boy with shaggy red hair, wearing a black camouflage T-shirt and cargo shorts who was on a skateboard that came flying down the street before crashing into the young woman
"Ow, geez... Hey, I'm sorry, I... Skylar, what's up!" a boy said loudly
"Jack!" Skylar growled
This Jack. Quirk: Rocket. Jack has compartments on his calves, arms and back that release a powerful blast of fire when opened. Loud, obnoxious, and known as the "Blast-Off Maniac," Jack has built his own reputation around O.D.A. as the district wild-child
"You moron, get off!" Skylar demanded with a scowl
"Relax, I said I was sorry" Jack laughed and hopped up "What are you doing here?"
Skylar got up and dusted herself off "Apparently getting ran over... Which, by the way, shouldn't happen on the freaking sidewalk! Where are you off to in such a hurry anyway?"
"I'm going to meet Victor at the Arena" Jack answered
"The Arena? I thought you two were friends" Skylar said, confused at the statement
"We are, we're just going in case something else goes down today" Jack shrugged
"Hmm... Well I got nothing else to do today, I'm coming too" Skylar declared
Jack knew better than to argue with someone like Skylar so they made their way across town to a dried-up concrete river channel
This is the "Arena." A few years ago, an O.D.A. senior found this place and declared it the official fighting ring. Barely anyone came to this part of town so people like us could come here and fight with no interruption
A tall boy with black hair was lying down on the edge of the Arena with his legs over edge. He was wearing dark red button down shirt and black pants
"Hey, Victor!" Jack called out
The boy sat up and looked at the approaching duo "Hey"
This is Victor. If I had to make a list of people I had great respect for, Victor would be near the top. The reason being how he handles shit. He'll straight-face you if all you do is talk, but the second someone puts their hands on him, he'll fight without hesitation
Skylar walked up and fist-bumped Victor "What's up?"
"Nothing much. Jack, for someone with the power of a rocket, you're late" Victor glared
"I got sidetracked" Jack chuckled
"He crashed into me with his skateboard" Skylar deadpanned
"Moron" Victor added
"Hey!" Jack growled
"Skylar, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be here at the moment" Victor said
"Huh? Why?" Skylar asked
"Yeah, why?" a girl smirked as she walked up
The girl was skinny and had six arms. She had straight, long black hair that reached her mid-back. She was wearing sunglasses, a blue shoulderless blouse and short shorts. She took off her sunglasses and revealed her four red spider-like eyes
"Aren't we all friends here?" the girl smiled
This is Spectra. Quirk: Spider. Basically, she can do anything a spider can. Don't sing to that... Spectra can stick to walls, spin almost indestructable webs and if she bites someone, they'll be poisoned and will most likely die if not treated within the hour
"Of course you'd be here, Spectra" Skylar sighed
"What's with that tone of voice?" Spectra giggled
"Quit acting like a princess, spider witch!" Skylar growled
Spectra smiled turned into a scowl "What'd you call me?!"
"You heard me!" Skylar countered
Jack stepped in between them "Ladies, ladies. Stop fighting, it's so unladylike"
"Shut up, Jack!" Skylar and Spectra yelled
"He's not wrong, you know. But considering we're not exactly upstanding citizens, we can't really be blamed. We're already at the Arena, might as well do what we do best" Victor commented
"Wreck shit?" Skylar smirked
"I don't see why not" Victor shrugged
"Sounds good" Spectra smiled
"Now we can agree on something" Skylar grinned "I need to blow off some steam anyway"
Skylar and Spectra jumped over the edge into the Arena. Tradition stated that the fighters face away from each other until the fight officially started. Anything goes until either one side was left standing or someone surrendered. Other than that, there were no rules. The girls started under the bridge. They faced away from each other and walked in different directions. Victor counted down from ten in his head and started the match when he hit zero
"Start!" Victor yelled
In that instant, Spectra spun around and fired a thick strand of webbing from her mouth. Without turning around, Skylar jumped over it to dodge. Spectra kept up the assault by spitting multiple balls of webs. Skylar ran at the spider girl, careful not to get hit. During her sprint, Skylar picked up a rusty chain and spun it. Skylar got close and swun the chain. Using her spider agility, Spectra jumped back a great distance. Skylar smirked and spun the chain again. This time, the chain was giving off a black energy with white static. The girl flipped and swung the chain at the ground. The attack split the ground with terrifying power. Spectra jumped out of the and stuck to the wall of the river channel
"Scary" Spectra giggled
The name's Skylar! Quirk: Arsenal. Whatever I touch turns into a highly destructive weapon. From something as soft as a feather, if it's in my possession, it's a weapon
"If all your gonna do is spit at me then what are we doing here?" Skylar asked
"Suit yourself" Spectra shrugged and lunged at her opponent
Skylar got on guard and swung her weapon. Spectra quickly shot a web and spun her body. The web made contact with the chain and was yanked right from Skylar's hands, losing it's power in the process. Skylar looked around for something else to use and noticed a pipe not too far away from her position. The girl took off but got stopped in her tracks when she stepped in some of the webbing from earlier
"Dammit!" Skylar growled
Knowing Skylar wasn't going anywhere, Spectra put her next move into motion. She used each of her six arms to weave webbing into a makeshift battle axe. Spectra proceeded to lick the blade of the axe, coating it in poisonous vemon. The ground sizzled as a drop made contact with the concrete
"Shit..." Skylar gulped
Spectra shot forward and swung her weapon but missed when Skylar leaned backwards. Despite Skylar not be able to run away, she was doing everything she could to evade the axe
"Don't think I can't fight just 'cause I don't have a weapon" Skylar smirked
"I wouldn't dream of it" Spectra grinned, flashing her sharp fangs
On the last swing, Skylar caught the axe and guided it to the bottom of her foot, freeing herself
Spectra pouted "Cheater"
Skylar backflipped to the pipe and picked it up. Just like the chain, the pipe began to give off energy. Both girls rushed at each other and engaged in combat. Spectra was surprised her axe didn't seem to be damaging something was weak as a rusty pipe when it made contact. Skylar explained that her power makes anything great for defense, not just offense. Skylar managed to push Spectra back under the bridge and disarm her. When Skylar swung at Spectra's head, the spider girl vanished
"Get down here!" Skylar yelled, noticing her enemy was sticking to the bottom of the bridge
"Not just yet" Spectra grinned
A fifth eye opened on Spectra's forehead. Spectra sprayed a misty webbing that spread everywhere, forcing Skylar to run in fear of getting trapped. Feeling fed up, Skylar added more energy to her weapon and threw it in Spectra's direction. The spider girl dodged the assault. The impact destroyed the bridge
Spectra licked her fangs "Nice try"
Skylar cracked her knuckles "I'm just getting started"
"That's enough!" Victor called the match
"Aw man, it was just getting good" Jack pouted
"But I'm not done yet!" both girls growled
"You're causing too much of a commotion. Last thing we need is a hero showing up asking why two kids are beating the crap of each other" Victor said
"Wasn't this your idea to begin with?" Spectra asked
"I didn't expect all of this. I thought you just needed to blow off some steam" Victor shrugged
Spectra took a breath and closed her fifth eye "Whatever. I was getting bored anyway. Another day, Skylar?"
"Tsk" Skylar brushed her off
Spectra waved them off and took her leave
"Smartass, six-armed, five-eyed..." Skylar grumbled
Jack walked up clapping his hands "That was a great cat fight. Coulda used more clothes-tearing for my tastes but stll good"
"Shut up, Jack!" Skylar and Victor glared
"You know, you and Spectra would be one hell of team if you got along" Victor noticed
"Yeah, with her speed and your strength, you'd be unbeatable!" Jack added "Plus that skill to make weapons makes things easier for you"
"Why do you two hate each other anyway?" Victor wondered
Skylar stayed quiet
Honestly, I don't really know how to answer that question. Spectra and I have just always been enemies ever since we first met, though I don't know the reason why
The group hung out for a couple hours then separated. Skylar took a different path from the guys and stopped when she felt a presence
"Mom, stop following me" Skylar sighed
When Skylar turned around, Chaos was standing there
"You found me" Chaos smiled
"What are you doing here?" Skylar asked
"I heard what sounded like a fight and saw you fighting that girl. Very impressive by the way" Chaos said proudly
"It was nothing" Skylar mumbled
"Watching you fight reminded of something I meant to talk to you about a long time ago" Chaos told her daughter
"What?" Skylar wondered
Chaos smirked and shook her head "Not here, not now. But soon"
"Got it. I'm gonna head home now, I'll see you soon" Skylar said
"Be careful. If anything happens to you, I'll have to tear this damned city apart" Chaos whispered and vanished
"Why now? You didn't last time..." Skylar thought
((Mysterious... Perfect! Next time, Skylar's weekend with her mother is interrupted. Questions, comments, and concerns are expected and accepted. Thanks for reading!))
