Chapter 12
Everyone was silent as they waited to see who would be called out as villains. Warren and Lily had shown that they were a strong team and they also proved that they could decide who they were going to be. They could have stayed a villain like everyone expected them to or show that looks aren't always what they seem to be. They would do that… they're probably going to call up Will and Layla just to mess with the natural order of high school… oh boy…
"Well?" Boomer asked.
"Well," Lily began "we are going to challenge Will Stronghold and Rachel Peace."
The school hero, Will. I saw that one coming. But me? I was a freshman… and I was Warren's sister… oh! That's how it's going to be, huh? Smart, show that people assumed to be heroes can be villains too…
"Rachel, shouldn't you be heading down now?" Sam was tapping me on the shoulder.
Right. My first Save the Citizen fight.
I felt people watching me as I step down into the arena. I walked over to where Will was already getting suited up.
Will looks up and grins at me. "You ready to win?" He hands me a set of protection equipment.
"But we're the villains aren't we supposed to lose?" I asked teasingly as start to put on the outfit.
"Well, those two sure didn't care about that." Will said glancing over at the two.
"I suppose you're right. Ready to kick some butt?" I grinned.
"Let's do this."
Will and I walked out into the middle of the arena to meet our opponents.
I looked at Warren with his stoic face, at least to most, but I could see the excitement in his eyes. Lily also had a composed expression but anyone could see the fire burning in her eyes.
I looked at Will and grinned before…
"GOOOOO!"
And it started. Warren charged for me and Will as Lily sprouted wings and jumped up towards the citizen. But Will was already there in the air waiting for Lily. They started fighting and exchanging hits.
I took my focus to Warren. I smirked, then stomped my foot on the ground. From my foot ice spread quickly coating the arena within a matter of seconds. Warren had already reacted and his feet were on fire to stop the ice from immobilizing him. My feet adopted some ice skates, literally, they were skates made of ice. And I started to skate towards my brother. Warren had started to create a sphere of fire to protect him.
I spared a glance upward to check on the fight that had been raging above our heads.
Lily was shooting darts every which way; they were made to disintegrate if they missed the target. I remember watching her perfect that technique during our practices. Will easily dodged them and would attempt to land a hit on Lily only to find a fist of hair flying his way. Neither was giving up. Neither was getting the advantage.
Their battle was a constant dance through the air and both looked determined.
I looked back at Warren and decided I would try to immobilize him. I stopped a few feet in front of him and started to lift my arm to condense the air into ice. Warren was still in his sphere of fire but and was shooting flames at me. I dodged them as I continued my work at creating a sphere around him. Even though Warren had his fire "armor" he couldn't move very easily at all so he was reduced to long range attacks. I had finished gathering the ice I wanted in a ball over my brother's head. I inhaled then made the ice shoot down around my brother, creating a dome over him. It wouldn't take too long for him to burn through, I didn't make it thick enough to suffocate his flame, I wasn't that mean. But it gave me enough time to help Will.
I looked up at the aerial fight still underway and noticed both Will and Lily getting tired. I caught Will's eye for a moment and took a breath.
I jumped up into the air and froze the air beneath me to make a platform to jump off of. I jumped up to Will and Lily where Will was able to hold me by the back of my armor. I took a deep breath and let out a stream of freezing air.
Lily's wings started to freeze, so she made them disappear as she started falling to the ground. We were 15 feet in the air; she was going to hurt herself. I created a slide of ice and slid down as Will raced to make sure Lily didn't hurt herself.
Just then, the buzzer went off. We had won. We had stopped the heroes. We could be villains.
The crowd was hushed as everyone realized this. The presumed hero and a newbie that was yet to be determined… We could be villains. And heroes could be defeated. We knew that already. But, villains could be Heroes too.
They totally just screwed everyone's logic… I laughed in my head. Those two are the best… they would mess with the high school norms…
I grinned at the two as they walked off hand in hand. Awww, they're even going public in their relationship too…
I looked over at Will and grinned. We high-fived then looked over to Boomer."
"We're splitting up… I'll stay villain –" I started.
"– and I'll be hero." finished Will.
"Alright, pick your opponents partner then."
I smirked at Will and yelled "LAYLA!"
Will just grinned "Sam will your partner then."
Sam and Layla came down and got suited up.
I walked over to Sam to help him with his armor and talk strategy.
"So, what's the plan?" I ask.
"Well so far I can only control one person at a time with my shadows so you'll have to deal with the other one. I want to take on Will."
"But he can fly." I point out.
"True, but if you can keep him on the ground for a moment I can trap him with my shadows and immobilize him."
"So then I can take Layla… wait… Layla never fights in these things… darn why did I choose her?"
"Yeah… but I think she stated to use her powers more often…"
"I don't know… we'll see what happens…"
