Chapter 12: Ruidi's Team
The conch horn blew. I unsheathed my sword, Reincarnation, and split up my team. "One third of you get on defense, the others go on offense!" They nodded, and did what I told them.
Who should I attack first? I scanned the area. Pranu would be a good choice, if I wanted revenge, but the best strategy was to pick off all of the weaker players' rocks first, then focus on the more important players.
I chose a rather weak-looking Aphrodite boy(no offense to Aphrodite boys). Target acquired. I thought to myself. His rock was in his pocket.
I could tell, because these rocks sort of glowed. Sort of. It was very faint, but there was a glow. Rocks that were the other team's glowed purple, and our team's rocks glowed green.
I passed the boundary line and crept up behind him, narrowly avoiding stepping on a M16 mine. My left hand slowly inched toward his pocket. I kept my left hand on my sword, just in case he turned around and discovered me. I felt my fingers curl around his rock. Then, I yanked it out of his pocket and stuck it onto my t-shirt. The second it touched my shirt, the glow changed from purple to green.
The Aphrodite kid whirled around, and saw that I had his rock. His face was white and his eyes were wide. Raven materialized next to him, and told him (using far too many long words than necessary) that he was out. Then she pushed him into a black portal that had formed. Another black portal formed over the bleachers and the Aphrodite boy dropped onto the bleachers next to the field.
I raced back to my home base, and stuck the rock onto there. Eleven to ten. We'd taken the first lead.
I smiled. Things were going to become very interesting indeed.
