Chapter Six – Round One: FIGHT!

Everywhere in the school students could be seen running round. At first glance you would think it would be to get to lessons but on closer inspection you would see some running with laptops and tablets, some had gathered in groups around one huge screen, some in pairs and gathered around a couple of nerdy kids who were sitting in front of a TV which was linked to a bunch of routers that were flashing an array of different colours.

"Hurry up guys, they could have already started!" one student shouted from the back. He kept looking out the door for any teachers or any of the roaming 'guard dogs' as most of them called their furry security system.

"Hey, this stuff is complicated okay? I don't want the -" the vampire sitting down tried to explain before he was cut off by his partner, another vampire. "Got it! Sending a live feed to everyone logged in ….. Now." As he said it he clicked a button and the TV came to life, showing a split screen camera feed of a spacious hall at different angles.

In other parts of the building some students could be seen making bets amongst each other, although each was slightly different, the overall outcome was the same.

"Twenty bucks says she only lasts a minute," a boy in a beanie hat said to his friend. The guy quickly speed off somewhere before coming back four seconds later with a twenty dollar bill in his hand. His friend – another boy who had his hood covering his features – held out his hand. "Deal."

And as the school was buzzing with activity preparing for what they assumed would be a short but entertaining fight, one student was hoping for a miracle.

Tori stood in a line with the rest of her class. Today was going to be the day she had to fight Jade. She had only been in a few fights – most of them with her brother – and so she knew she could (hopefully) handle herself, but as the seconds ticked by she began to doubt she could. From what she heard Jade was a good fighter – a really, really good fighter – who she knew wasn't going to hold back on her like she her brother did and she hadn't seen Jade fight. She didn't know what she was capable of and that worried her. As the rock Golem – who she realized was coach Dickers – continued to take the register she began to slightly relax.

Jade wasn't here. Yet.

Tori hoped that this would be one of the classes Jade would skip. She had heard from some of the other students that Jade had been known to skip classes, No one knew where she went or what she did but she would be in her next lesson with a made up excuse that most of the teachers would except without a problem. Right now Dickers had almost finished the register and Tori let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding,

"Alexis Townsend."

Tori looked around to see if she could spot the girl everyone had been telling her about. She heard a slightly deep but feminine voice reply 'present' behind her and turned around to face it. A girl around her age sat leaning against the wall, her arms resting on her bent up knees. She wore the combat uniform but unlike Tori she wore a pair of combat boots as well. Her skin was a brownish beige colour and looking up she could see her hair was tied back in an afro puff, the ends being a nice golden brown colour. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to not have a care in the world. Looking down she saw she wasn't wearing her jacket but instead a black shirt with something printed on it. Tori knew this girl wasn't a push over, the muscles on her arms being one clear indicator to that. She could see what looked like a tattoo on her left arm and tried to make out what it was.

"Victoria Vega."

Turning her head around Tori could see that amused look in his eyes even though his rock face showed nothing but boredom. She quickly replied present and slightly winced when the students around her began to bicker amongst themselves. By now everyone knew who she was, even some of the teachers, but that still didn't stop her reacting the way she did. She saw coach Dickers' face morph into a smirk and knew that he remembered her from the hall. "Good," he said with a nod of his rock head, making a few pieces of very small pebbles and dust fall onto the floor. He marked her off on the register and continued to call out names.

"Jadelyn West."

Everyone was quiet and looked towards Tori as she drew a deep breath. She held it for a few seconds, looking around for the ice queen herself. When she couldn't see her anywhere in sight she let it out. 'Maybe, just maybe' she thought, if Jade didn't come to class today then the little fight she called would be off - well until next week - and Tori could concentrate on her other classes.

"Jadelyn West!" A very annoyed golem called out again, this time louder. There was no secret that Coach Dickers wanted to see what the new student was made of, as well as watch a good fight. It had been a few months since anyone in the senior years had challenged the Goth and put up a good fight. Looking at the girl from the corner of his eye however he could tell she wasn't really a huge fighter like Jade and decided that he would give the girl a safety net - if a certain student would show. "Has anyone seen Miss West this morning?" He asked the other students.

Just as one student - a boy with white streaks in his hair - was about to answer, the gym doors flew open, making a large bang and letting the wind and noise from outside enter the room. Some of the students turned to look at the commotion. As they did, a voice sent a chill up a certain half Latina's spine as well as making her blood run cold.

"I'm right here," announced Jade, barging through the heavy doors and making them swing open as if they were paper. Like the others she was wearing a set of brown combat boots and the combat trousers with padding although her boots looked like they had some sort of faded red stains on them. Tori tried not to think of what that was. Turning round, Tori saw that like the dark skinned girl behind her she didn't wear her combat jacket but instead wore a black tank top, exposing her arms. Her hair was down, letting her curls cover her shoulders and hide her chest. Her eyebrow piercing shined in the light. The glint in her eye and small smirk on her face did nothing to help ease Tori's nerves.

"Glad you could make it Miss West. Care to explain why you're late?" Coach Dickers asked. Although he sounded stern and annoyed, anyone could see he was glad the girl had finally turned up.

"I got held back," was all Jade said on the matter. She went to stand in line and looked around, locking eyes with a very scared Tori. Her smirk grew. She had been waiting all weekend to fight against this girl and put her in place.

Coach Dickers quickly finished the register, closing the folder and giving it to one of the students to put in his office near the locker rooms. He looked over the students once more before he spoke in a loud, grating voice. "Alright meatbags, today we were going to continue on disarming your opponent, but as most of you know, today is a special day." He folded his arms over his chest and began to shimmer. Tori watched with curiosity as the seven foot something Golem shrank and became the man Tori saw in the canteen. Some of the students let out a sigh of relief when he was back to his human self. "Today our newest student will go up against one of you to show what she's made of." Dickers locked eyes with Tori and she shuffled backwards to try and hide behind another student. "Vega! West! Get up here! The rest of you, sit behind the line." All the students except Alexis, Jade, and Tori moved behind the thick white line. Jade walked in the huge open space and stood in the center of the marked rectangle. Tori -reluctantly- slowly made her way to the middle but stood a few feet away from the girl.

Dickers moved to the far side of the 'arena' to what looked like a computer panel. He quickly started to press a few buttons and a second later the floor the girls were standing on light up before going back to normal. "Alright ladies, I want a nice-" he quickly looked at Jade "-clean fight. No primary shifting, no clawing, and no biting." He looked at the security camera, knowing most of the students around the school were watching. "You may begin." and with that Jade ran forward, rushing towards Tori with her fist held back. When she reached the unprepared girl she swiftly delivered an uppercut to her jaw and delivered a front kick to the slightly airborne girl, sending her flying across the room.

Tori quickly used her clawed hand to stop her skidding across the floor and into the wall. Around the school everybody winced at the force Jade had used to send her flying. Tori clutched her rib, making sure nothing was broken as well as trying to get rid of the immense amount of pain. "Too easy." she heard Jade mutter. "Come on Vega, is that all you got?" She taunted the girl. Tori pushed herself up and took a deep breath before exhaling and walking back towards her opponent. When she reached her she drew back her arm to punch Jade in the face only to be blocked by Jade raising her arm. Taken aback she almost didn't see Jade's right hand come up to send another blow to her stomach. Thinking fast, she quickly grabbed her forearm, halting the attack. The two girls wrestled for a little while before Jade got bored and pulled her arms back, causing Tori to lose her balance before grabbing the half Latina by her forearms and dropkicking her chest, sending her flying across the floor again. She flicked her gaze up to her teacher. "I'm getting bored Dickers. I want a fight, not a fighting dummy." Coach Dickers rolled his eyes, looking at the newbie coughing on the ground from the impact on her chest.

"Vega, you can choose one student to help-"

"Alexis Townsend." she croaked from the ground, not even letting the teacher finish. Students everywhere began to mumble among each other as Jade, wide eyed, looked at said girl before growling and Tori.

"Alright then, Townsend, you're up!" Dickers shouted. This just got interesting.

Hearing the news, Jade decided to quickly end the match before Alexis could get up and ran towards Tori, arm raised to give a brain rattling punch to the now crouching girl.

Only for it to be caught in the hands of Alexis herself. Jade looked right into Alexis' sharp blue eyes before pulling her hand free and delivering a volley of sidekicks aiming for her head only for them to be blocked and then assaulted by a variety of punches and skilled kicks from Alexis. Being forced back on the defensive, Jade decided to put space between her and the brawler. Seizing the opportunity, Alexis quickly helped Tori to her feet. Tori rubbed the rest of the pain from her chest before looking at her new partner. Alexis was now wearing her combat jacket, and looking at her face, Tori could see a scar travelling over her left eye. Whilst the iris of her right eye was almost a glowing electric blue, her left was a clouded blue and looked to have no pupil. Tori guessed that the girl was partially blind in that eye and that the scar had something to do with it.

"You okay?" she asked the girl, her eyes checking the girl for any visible injuries.

"I'm fine, thanks …. Erm…. Nova says hi by the way." She thought that now was a better time than any to tell her. Stepping to the side she could see that Jade was again on the other side of the ring, glaring daggers at her with her hands in a fighting stance. Tori looked back at Alexis who was also in a fighting stance. "I'm gonna get my ass kicked," she muttered under her breath before again running towards Jade, Alexis following behind her. She stopped before she got to Jade and let Alexis go first. Alexis went for a low kick in which Jade lifted up her leg to block it before putting her arm down to block the side kick and round kick that came after it leaving her middle open for a punch to the gut. Alexis continued landing a skilful punch every now and then to the less experienced fighter, as Jade tried to stop as many hits however, she didn't see Tori coming towards her and was slightly confused as to why Alexis backed off until she felt the kick to her stomach which winded her and sent her skidding back a bit. Feeling a bit more confident Tori pressed on with another kick aimed at Jades midsection, but Jade was ready for it this time, and when Tori's leg came near she turned slightly and held it in place with her arm. Tori tried to pry her foot free to no avail. Looking up she saw rage in Jades eyes and tried to brace herself for what came next.

Jade was beyond mad and she just wanted to get Tori out of the way so she could try and deal with Alexis, so it was with that thought she pulled Tori forward and delivered a powerful punch to the girls chest. She was sure she heard bones breaking and her assumption was made clear when she saw the girl cough up blood. She saw Alexis running to her as if sensing what was happening and pushed Tori back a bit before spin kicking her right into her partner. Tori collided into Alexis, sending her to the floor. Her back towards Jade, the girl wrapped her arm around her right arm and neck and all but choke slammed the brunette into the hard concrete ground.

Everyone winced at the sound of impact with the hard ground. The last thing Tori heard or felt was Coach Dickers calling the match and the searing pain in her upper body before her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell unconscious.
