Hello lovely readers!
Here I am again...with the EPIC battle! Join me in the thunder, this one's for you. Plenty of Landon-bashing here. By Leesh! Looks like I just made your life :P It was a bit too gory for me, but I hope you like it. Leesh is a bitch.
Landon scanned the grassy field and spotted a Spanish girl walking over from the far side. Alicia gave a coy smile that was visible even from this distance and wiggled her fingers as if to say hello.
'Students, the faceoff will start in five minutes. The contestants are Alicia Rivera (with forty seven votes), and Landon Crane, the new boy (with three hundred and eighty five votes). It turns out that Landon's ability is something of an enigma, and the general public has taken this chance to test out Alicia Rivera's ability against this alleged physical shield. This opponent pairing has one hundred and eighty five votes.'
The announcer cleared her throat. Her badge flashed when she moved, and Landon saw that her name was Melanie Stoll, and that her ability was premonitions.
'Now, the rules of the game are as follows: you are allowed to hurt your opponent with your abilities as well as physically, but you must not interfere in any way with the audience. The audience are also forbidden to enter the ring were the fighting is taking place, and they are forbidden to use their powers to influence the game. When your opponent raises his or her hand and moves it in a slicing motion towards his or her heart, it shows that the player has surrendered and the game is over. A normal game lasts until one player surrenders, and rarely goes over ten minutes. If it does, then Principal Burns will end it as she sees fit, and the results will be voted on by the students. We will now begin the countdown.'

Ding!
Alicia ran at full speed straight at Landon, then slowed dramatically as she approached. She hesitated slightly, then took a few catious steps , an invisible force bloomed out in a wide circle around them, pushing the audience backwards, and Alicia felt a head-spinning panic as her ability drained away.
But if this is what exactly what happened with Landon and Chris on the first day, that means Landon's ability will also be gone...for now. He'll be preactically defenseless as well. No more 'alleged shield'. This is the best chance that anyone will ever get with him. If I strike now, fast, I might be able to take him down physically.
With a yell, Alicia ran at Landon and threw herself on top of him so hard that they were both knocked to the ground. She knew that she was'nt much of a fighter, but she did her best, clawing bloody furrows in Landon's skin, kicking and thrashing and biting for all she was worth. His tan brown arm came up suddenly to shield his face, but Alicia continued tio scratch, slap, and bite, so that his arm now matched his bleeding face. Landon managed to push Alicia off himself, but no sooner had he righted himself, when she flew at him with the force of a whirlwind, kicking and punching like a madwoman. Landon kicked Alicia in the stomach, and she flew backwards, doubled over with the pain.
Before she could even take a step, Landon stared her straight in the eye, then raised his hand and slashed towards his heart.
Alicia did'nt even notice the cheering crowd around her. She suddenly felt lightheaded and felt a strong surge of anger wash over her. Instinctively, she reached out and slapped Landon.
He raised his arm, almost contemptuously, to block the blow. Landon turned to walk back through the crowd, but paused at the fringes of the ring in which they'd fought to stare at her piercingly.
Through the red haze that covered her vision, Alicia saw Landon smile wryly and nod once.
'You fight well when you're angry.'
Then he disappeared into the milling crowd.
Would'nt you like to find out why she is so angry? I already told you people in the last few chapters! Haha. I'll write soon.
Review?
Especially you, join me in the thunder. I want a long, detailed description of what you thought. :P
