Fire is Stronger than the Spiral...
A/N: Hi! Thank you guys for all the reviews! I really appreciate it! ;P
Disclaimer: I do not own wizard 101, only Miranda, Emma, Victoria, and the boys. Me and Raineyes had a small argument that Erin belongs to her. So, Erin belongs to Raineyes, got it?
Erin: Yeah! Raineyes owns me!
A/N: Sorry! I meant I own you in my story! Never mind. And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, mostly ladies because all my reviewers are ladies(lol), I noticed that I did the battle scene in chapter 2 weirdly, so I will do it better, I promise. And Caroline, I'll add your OC's in the next chapter. And really sorry I haven't updated in a while! Middle School just started for me so it's been busy. Anyway, here's chapter 5!
Chapter 5
Third Person POV
"So," Noah said. "What will you guys be doing?"
"Well," Miranda said. "I need to get a new Storm spell."
"Me too!" Austin said.
"Alright, you can come with me." She waved goodbye to the rest of the group, then walked off, and Austin followed her.
They walked silently through the tunnel that leads to the Commons. When they got on the other side, Austin finally said something.
"So, Storm, eh?"
Miranda nodded.
"Cool."
They walked in more awkward silence. Miranda looked at Austin and noticed how cute and strong he was(1). Austin noticed her staring at him and he smiled.
"I see you like someone," Austin teased.
Miranda blushed. She wasn't sure if he was talking about Noah, or himself.
Austin then glanced at Miranda. Her orange and red robes suited her body nicely. Her lips were a strawberry pink, and her eyes were like the water in the pond in the Commons.
Miranda smiled at Austin. "I see you like someone," she teased back.
Austin laughed.
Miranda smiled again. When he laughed it sounded like bells...
Time went by so fast she didn't even notice they were right outside the Storm school. Miranda opened the doors and Professor Balestrom was sitting at his desk. He looked up and saw the two. "Ah! So my two best Storm students came to learn their new spell, hm?"
Miranda looked at Austin and they both nodded.
"Very well." He opened one of his desk drawers and pulled out two amulets(2). "Here." He handed them the amulets. "Go to Triton Avenue and ask Blad Raveneye for a Kraken Crystal. He'll tell you what to do next."
Miranda nodded and looked at the amulet. It was a silver pendant on a silver chain. On the pendant, there was a spot in the middle of it. It looked like a lightning streak. Miranda felt the hole with her finger. It was deep and ragged on the sides. This must be where the Crystal would go, she thought.
"You can count on us, Professor!" Austin said, saluting.
The Professor laughed. "I'm sure I can count on you."
Miranda smiled and the small frog, and followed Austin out the door. They walked through the Commons to the Shopping District. When at the Shopping District, Austin sneaked another look at Miranda. She was so lovely. Maybe I should ask her out...
"So, why did you choose Balance and Storm?" Miranda asked. Her voice was like honey, so sweet and smooth...
"Austin?" Miranda said.
"Huh? Oh, um, I don't know why, they just called me, I guess."
"They called you, huh?" Miranda laughed.
Austin smiled. They walked through the tunnel to Olde Town. Austin glanced at Miranda's hand. Should I hold it? he thought. Miranda saw Austin and smiled. She grabbed his hand and they walked together to Triton Avenue. Austin was blushing the entire way and was thinking, She's holding my hand! She's holding my hand!
A few minutes later, they finally reached Blad. Miranda smiled at Austin and let of his hand so she could show Blad her amulet. She reached into her robe pocket and pulled out her amulet.
"We would like two Kraken Crystals, please," Austin said, pulling out his amulet too.
"Ah, young Storm wizards, huh? Well, my Crystals were stolen by the nasty Kraken down there!" Blad pointed to the Kraken below them. The Kraken laughed as he held two Crystals in his webby hand.
"We'll get the crystals back!" Austin said. Miranda smiled. She loved his enthusiasm.
"Great! Defeat him, and come back to me when you have the crystals." Blad waved goodbye, and the two left. They ran down the hill, and Miranda was going to take the teleporter, but Austin stopped her. "No, follow me." He stood on the side of the hill, his feet sliding.
Miranda gasped. "Your slipping!"
"I know." He held out his hand. "Wanna come the fun way?"
Miranda nodded and took his hand. They both slid down the hill and landed in the water surrounding the Kraken. "That was so cool!" she said.
Austin nodded, then looked at the Kraken. "You're going down! Or you can give us the Crystals now!"
The Kraken laughed. "Never! Malistaire promised me Hero Storm spells!"
"Malistaire!" Miranda whispered angrily to Austin.
Austin nodded.
The Battle Arena formed, and they drew their seven cards. Miranda had 1 Fireblade, 2 Fire Traps, 1 Storm Trap, 1 Storm Shark, 1 Kraken, and 1 Meteor Strike. Pretty good hand, she thought. While Austin had 1 Locust Swarm, 1 Sandstorm, 2 Balance Blades, 2 Major Flashes, and 1 Power Play. He smiled at the hand as the pointer chose them.
Miranda discarded her Meteor Strike, and drew a Krokotillian. She smiled, and played her Fireblade.
Austin played Major Flash, and the Kraken screamed as he saw a bruised burn mark on his arm.
The Kraken surprisingly got stronger from the last time they defeated him, when they were level 10, and he played Stormblade.
Miranda then played Fire Trap on the Kraken, and Austin gained a power pip and played Locust Swarm. The giant snake head popped out of the sand that was now inside the Arena, and locusts swarmed around the Kraken. He growled as he played his turn. It then cheated and created a special card: All Storm Trap(3). The Kraken then chanted, "Storm Trap, Storm Trap, come to thee, help me defeat thy enemy!(4)"
Two Storm Traps appeared, and started glowing with electricity. The Traps zoomed over to Austin and Miranda. As it floated around their feet, it also acted like an aura, so it zapped them. Miranda squeaked and held her arm. She moved her hand to see a bruised burn mark.
"Shit!(5)" Miranda said.
"We might not win this, Miranda," Austin said.
"No! The battle has just begun..." she said with an evil smile.
A/N: (1) In school, since Noah isn't in my class, I'm starting to like Austin. Tell me if you would prefer NoahXMiranda.
(2) This will be my own made up spell. I still have to think of the name...
(3) I made that up to make it interesting. ;p
(4) I also made that up.
(5) Yeah, I decided I should maybe curse in my stories. Tell me if you don't like it. I really like to take your comments into thought.
Thank you for reviewing and reading!
