Sorry, I know. I'm really talkative today (or rather, tonight). I'll bore you after the chapter, but make sure you read it.

A petite girl with unnervingly pale skin, porcelain-doll features and a sweet smile skipped blithely into the dome as Derrick entered. She didn't seem the least bit threatening.

"Derrick Harrington – physical, knockout touch. Layne Abeley – mental, emotion attack."

Funny, thought Derrick. What exactly is it that she does? She doesn't look very aggressive, or strong. I bet I could take her down really easily.

The clock began to tick down the seconds, and Derrick continued to search the girl for any sign of a powerful ability.

Layne had not moved the slightest bit. She stood, completely silent and still, her eyes shut and ruby lips pursed in concentration. Her dark corkscrew curls swayed slightly as she moved, then her eyes opened.

Can it really be this easy? It won't take much to stun her now.

Derrick darted forward with his hands outstretched, expecting no resistance. After bridging half the distance, he was hit with a strong wave of excitement.

This will be really easy. I'll win this, without a doubt. That Layne girl is so weak, I don't think she even has a power. She's not even doing anything. Practically surrendering. Well, Derrick, what are you doing just standing here? Go get her!

In his rash excitement, he didn't even realise that he was on the floor with his arms pinned behind himself, with Layne on top of him.

What the-?

The anger inside himself flooded his brain, until he could only see red. He twisted wildly, trying to break free from Layne's binding arms, but they held him fast.

That little bitch! Why won't she just LET ME GO? Let go of me, Layne. This isn't a wrestling match. Get off!

The whistle sounded, and Layne leapt off Derrick lightly. The rules of the game prevented him from attacking, but his anger was too much, multiplied tenfold by Layne's power. He lunged.

Layne dodged the blow, dancing on her tiptoes to avoid being hit by Derrick's swinging arms. Then, with a cheerful wave, she descended the steps.

HAHA OWNAGE DERRICK! he got beaten twice - both times by a girl! Awh, now I feel sorry for him. Maybe I'll be nicer to him in future :D

Important part:

I'll be leaving in a couple of weeks for almost the whole summer, and I don't know if I should keep on updating or not. I mean, of course I could bring my writing book with me (there will be computers), but I'll probably have a lot to do anyways. Review and tell me what you think, but don't worry. You've got a few weeks.

And here's the list of characters and their abilites, in case you did'nt understand.

Massie-telekenetic

Alicia-phase through objects

Dylan-elemental (plants)

Kristen-superspeed and superstrength

Cameron- elemental (fire)

Claire-elemental (ice)
