Chapter 6 The dueling club

Hunter plotted day and night on how he was going to get Professor Goldhart's ego destroy, he contemplated a reward for whoever did so 50,000 gold coins would be the reward… however realized if he did that anyone would go after him, including Scaleyarse, and he didn't want their help at all! Hunter knew Professor Goldhart was watching him like a hawk. He was ready for anything Hunter threw at him. Hunter thought so too. However he wasn't ready for one thing. When he walked the halls, he heard a haunting voice.

"I'm coming for you," it hissed. Almost snake like. Hunter felt his scar heat up and burn on his forehead.

"Son of a bitch" he growled, the voice went on for a while. He tried to locate it. But when he got too close, it stopped talking. And the pain vanished. "I must be going crazy from Goldhart's classes… what a jackass" Hunter thought.

He went to the main hall to catch up with Chris and Stephoine to study; yet he saw the tables had been moved to make room for something. Much to Hunter's annoyance, Professor Goldhart started a dueling club; Hunter strongly thought it was stupid. He saw Chris sitting in the far end of the room watching, Hunter joined him and smirked. "You wouldn't see me caught dead in that, unless we were dueling against Goldhart. I wouldn't mind showing everyone how much he sucks" Hunter told Chris as they watched. But much to their surprise there was Rando. He was grinning from ear to ear at Hunter.

"What's wrong Hunter? Can't take the competition?" he smirked. Hunter growled at him.

Chris knew that look in Hunter's eyes, and thought of something to get his attention away from Rando. "Dude, forget him. We need to talk to my little sister Trish. She's acting weird ever since she got that creepy book she found in… the… ok we've lost him" Chris would say. Hunter had channeled him out. He was too focused on Rando. Hunter stood up with his wand in hand.

Professor Goldhart grinned. "So Hunter…. YOU'RE NEXT!" he called out. Hunter stepped forward and glared at Rando, not knowing he triggered something in himself. The other students came to see what he was going to do, Hunter tired to talk smack but he spoke dragon instead of normal words. He was stunned as were the students. "Only the heir to Scaleyarse could do that! The one can speak lizard, reptile and dragon!" they heard whispered. Rando was more ticked off than ever.

"NO! He's NOT the heir to Scaleyarse!" he called out. "I have Lizard's blood in me!"

"Dude… you're family is a bunch of freaks if that's so" Jericho smirked. Rando shot something from his wand, but to his shock Hunter and his wand caught the energy he used to try and hit Chris. Instantly Hunter threw it back at him and the duel was on! They went back and forth launching powerful blasts of energy to one another, Hunter was airborne at one point landing behind Rando and blasting his wand from his hand. The people cheered for Hunter as Rando took his defeat bitterly. Stephoine came in and whispered something to Chris; he nodded and tried to get Hunter's attention. Hunter finally turned to see his friends and Chris trying to wave him over.

"Damn him, he has to gloat" Chris stated. Stephoine nodded in agreement. Hunter made his way through to his friends.

"I got something to show you!" she whispered to Hunter. He nodded as they made their way out of the room. Hunter turned to see if they were being followed. When the coast was clear he turned and looked at Stephoine. "I found out something, a Chamber of secrets!" she explained. Hunter was stunned as was Chris.

"What is it?" they asked.

Stephoine looked away and sighed. "That I don't know, but I might know who does!" she grinned, she took the boys to the girl's bathroom and locked the door, inside was a mini burner and three potions. "Drink these, you will assume the form of Rando's friends!" she explained.

"What's yours?" questioned Chris.

Stephoine grinned. "Professor Spark! He is after all a graduate from Scaleyarse" she grinned. Hunter and Chris shuttered at the thought.

"Uh, you think you might wanna find someone who's a girl that goes to Scaleyarse? I mean… you as Professor Spark!" Hunter explained.

"What's wrong with me being Professor Spark?" she demanded. Chris and Hunter looked down and then looked at her, as if silently warning her of something. Her mind clicked.

"OH! That… good point" She replied.

"Steph, don't worry we will take care of it. You can take one for the team if you want… just as long as there's no side effects on this thing…"

Stephoine shook her head no. "It only lasts an hour" she explained. Hunter nodded as he looked to Chris. "And don't worry about Rando' posse, I took care of them" she grinned. Hunter was rather impressed he turned to Chris and they drank their potions. The change was swiftly and quickly, Hunter became Ric as Chris became Batista. They knew they didn't have much time so they quickly left to find Rando to see what he knew of this chamber of secrets.

They found Rando still in the main dinning hall where the duels took place, Rando stormed up to them. "Where were you?" he demanded of them.

"Sorry, bathroom break" Chris stated in Batista's voice.

"I needed your help. Hunter made a fool of me! Worst of all he spoke in tongues! Damn him!" Rando growled; he led them to Scaleyarse's quarters. There he used the password 'legend killer' to open then door. They walked in, he started to complain and whine about Hunter. "How dare he make a fool of me, now he is coming across as the heir to Scaleyarse! The nerve of him to make the others think that is so! Is that no repulsive!" he demanded of them.

"Oh yeah, sickening. The nerve of him thinking he was even an heir to Scaleyarse when you are clearly the right person for it!" Hunter stated in Ric's voice. Rando smiled.

"Very flattering of you, but I am not it. I am not descended from such a great wizard. My family everyone in my family all when to Scaleyarse when they were my age! I am guaranteed greatness, for my father is an eater of the dead…" he explained. Hunter wanted to say something but stopped. "As are your fathers, who follow mine with great pride. I gave you both dignity, I and going to get us all great powers." Rando grinned.

'What a jackass' Hunter thought silently.

"Now, about Hunter… I wished he would just get expelled already; he will be trouble to us, and that dirt blood. When my father takes over the school, dirt bloods will not be permitted to learn here!" Rando laughed, Hunter was clearly sick of hearing Rando yak. He turned to Chris

"We need to get the hell out of here" he whispered. Chris nodded in agreement. Rando turned to them.

"What are you talking about?" he demanded.

"Man, I really have to go to the bathroom. The damn lunch is making me go all the time!" Chris lied. Rando nodded.

"I got to go to make sure no one from the other groups go after him," Hunter explained.

"I'll go with you then" Rando smirked.

"NO! Oh man, no. You don't want to. You ever been in the bathroom with this guy? WHHHHOOOOOOOO it's nasty!" Hunter stated. Rando looked sick and nodded.

"Go on then, be back here soon. I got plans for Potter I have to go over with you" he ordered, the both of them nodded and ran out. They were halfway down the hall when they ran into the real Batista and Ric!

"What the…." Wondered Batista. Hunter looked around then said.

"Uh…. Look there's a ghost!" Hunter called out. They turned to see. Quickly Chris and Hunter made their getaway. They tried to see if they could find Stephoine, going back to the girl's bathroom, there she was. However she didn't look too good. She turned around and looked more like a rat!

"Ew! What did you do?" Hunter demanded.

"I thought I had Spark's hair… it wasn't. It was a rat!" she sighed. Hunter and Chris changed back to normal and took Stephoine to the doctors.
