A/N: Ahhhh! I'm sooo sorry I haven't updated in like a month! :C I've had a busy summer and now schools started -_- i don't like school... anyways! I will try to update at a slightly more consisten pace but more then likely the updates will be sporadic... I'm aiming for 1 update per month at a minimum... Also reviews and PMs will motivate me ;P and don't take that the wrong way I won't ask for a certain number of reviews or I won't update no no no no noooo I'm sticking this through to the end regardless of reviews and stuff those things are a bonus, but boy do they do wonders to my confidence and writers "not-block" (I don't know... my creative thoughts...?) in any case they will speed up the process a bit... but there is also the thing called life that will continuely get in the way... :/ but yeah... this has probably been the longest authors note I've ever written... So without furthur ado I present to you the latest chapter of Peace!
Peace
Chapter 11
*Ring*
"Finally!" I heard Sam beside me as he got up from his desk. We were in history class, also known as the most useless and boring subject known to heroes and normal humans alike.
"Let's get to lunch!"
"Yeah." I grinned as my stomach growled.
The two of us went to our lockers to put away our supplies and headed to the cafeteria. I waved over to my brother and the others at their table then headed over to my own table. That's right I know have my own table. At our table sits Chloe, Terence, John, and Criss. Sam and I went over and sat down once we got our food. John and Terence were talking animatedly about this afternoon.
"I can't wait! I'm totally gonna volunteer for hero." Said John
"Yeah! But Villain would be fun to play too." Added Terence
"Personally, I don't see the appeal." Chloe said. "I mean Save the Citizen is just a way to show off and it gives certain people a disadvantage depending on their abilities."
"Oh just because your ability isn't a material one doesn't mean it gives you a disadvantage Miss Psychic." Criss pointed out.
"Oh, shut up, Criss!" Chloe shot back.
Sam laughed "Well, in any case I want to try both. And I want to go up against some of the upperclassmen too."
"Oh! Watch out! We got an ambitious one over here!" I told the others.
"Dude, you'd get creamed!" John told him. "Especially if you go up against that one guy that glows or shines of whatever."
"I thought he was a sidekick." Terence said.
"He was, but he developed his power he can glow extremely bright and he's training in martial arts and other fighting styles." I told them.
"Wow, that's kinda lame though, just glowing." Criss noted. The others nodded
"Yeah what's his name anyways?"
"Zach." I told them.
"Right whatever, I could take him." Sam said. I didn't remember him being that cocky before…
"You shouldn't underestimate him. Or any of the others for that matter." I reminded him. "They did save the school last year."
"Yeah but they are still in sidekick."
"Um, Sam, do you ever pay attention? Zach was moved to hero."
"Oh… Hey! Since when did you know so much about Zach?"
"I talked to him? He is friends with my brother and I talk to my brothers friends. Simple as that." I explained.
"Oh…" Sam said. The others laughed at how simple it was and at how oblivious Sam had been to that.
Just then the bell rang and every got up to get ready for the first Save the Citizen.
The six of us followed the crowd into the gym and we found seats for ourselves. There was a loud buzz as students chatted with their friends about the matches.
"QUIET!" came the voice of coach Boomer. The gym quieted down quickly at that.
Principal Powers then walked into the center of the arena where the matches would take place.
"I want everyone to do their best. And I don't want any maiming or killing, just ways to stop the opponent with as little injury possible." There were a few boos that come from the students.
"Think of it this way. Immobilizing your opponent without hurting them is much harder than hurting then then saving the citizen. The less they're hurt the better you did. Understand. Now let's begin." And with that she walked back over the where the other teachers sat.
Coach Boomer walked back into the arena "Alright! To start off we will have a couple seniors and a couple juniors. Let's see… Warren Peace, Jacob Wood, Halley Frank, and Lily Bell. You four are up first, split yourselves up and decide who's hero and villain but be quick; I'm giving you a minute.
The group of four looked at each other; I saw Warren and Lily glance at each other before Lily shouted up to Boomer "Warren and I will be the villains!"
The crowd hushed as her voice rang out. Lily was always known to be the nice girl, the good student. Warren was considered more of a villain but after his help last year they didn't dare say so. Even from where I was sitting I could see Lily's huge grin and a glint in her eyes. She was up to something. I looked over at Warren, he also wore a smirk on his face and had a playful glint in his eyes as well, and he was in on it too.
I looked at the two seniors they were up against. The two of them stared at their opponents for a few seconds wondering what they were up to then started to whisper to form a hurried plan.
Coach Boomer blew the whistle and they were off.
Warren ran over to the citizen and set up a ring of fire around the pit where the dummy was hanging. Lily was already charging the seniors.
The seniors got into a defensive stance and as Lily ran towards them they jumped out up her way and she sped right through them. As she passed she opened her palms out towards them on either side and out sprang a net from each palm.
The seniors struggled for a second to get untangled. The girl, Halley, phased right through the net and pulled her partner through his.
The boy, Jacob, put his hands on the hardwood floor and the floor started to move. Warren started burning any pieces that looked close to him or Lily and soon Warren and Jacob were both fighting. Lily went after Halley. Lily jumped up into the air and from her back came a set of white wings.
The freshmen and some of the other students gasped in surprise and some in awe. Other students were cheering on the boys who were still giving it their all. Or at least Jacob was. Warren had the advantage of fire versus wood and was using it well.
Lily flew over Halley and dropped yet another net on her but again it didn't work. So Lily and Warren switched. Lily dropped down to pick up Jacob to the far side of the gym. Warren raced after Halley and the two of them started in a hand- to hand battle.
Lily had turned on of her hands into a giant hammer and was smashing any wood that would come her way. It looked as though she was being back into the center of the arena. Warren also looked like he was being pushed into the center.
Warren kept trying to hit Halley with a ball of fire but it would just go through. He kept his body alight for the most part so she couldn't hit him without getting burned. Neither we able to stop the other but warren kept slowly backing up.
Lily smashed away a huge spike that she had dodged then smashed her heel into the ground. Jacob looked at her confused. "What's smashing your heel into the ground going to do, little girl?" He taunted.
Lily smirked. "Now Warren!" she yelled as vine like objects erupted from the floor around both Jacob and Halley. Halley wasn't expecting the vines and couldn't phase away before being hit in the back of the neck. The two seniors fell to the ground unconscious but otherwise completely fine.
Lily and Warren looked at the clock, there was still thirty seconds left. They grinned at each other as the audience burst into cheers. I clapped and cheered as well, it was uncommon for the villains to get such praise but they did a fantastic job and they were up against seniors. The two fived then turned to Coach Boomer.
"I suppose you want to continue as villains?" he asked.
The two shared a grin then looked back at Boomer "Nope. We're going to be the heroes." Warren told him.
"Who are you going to challenge?"
A/N: Who will they challange?! That's up to you my wonderful readers! :) tell me in a review or PM who you think should face this duo of dustruction! ( i like that!
