Wave Battle: Centarus Flame

Centarus Flame slashed at the air shooting fireballs at Zero, who flipped out of the way of all of Centarus Flames attacks. She landed on the ground and pulled out a Battle Card.

"Wide Wav-" before she could activate the Battle Card Centarus Flame charged at Zero with his lance. He then slashed at Zero continuously with his lance, overwhelming her.

"Kid, we gotta get out of the way of his attacks!" Xerox said.

"Easier said than done!" Zero shouted, "His attacks just don't relent!"

Zero jumped up in the air and activated her Battle Card again. She shot three Wide Waves at Centarus Flame, who surprisingly slashed the attacks destroying them.

"Wait! I thought Fire Types were weak against water!" Zero shouted.

"The virus must make EM Beings impervious to their weaknesses! This is going to be a tough fight kid!" Xerox said.

When Zero landed, she was knocked to the ground by a tidal wave of fire. Centarus Flame then ran up to Zero and began thrusting at Zero, who rolled out of the way of the attacks. This was just too much. The Four Guardians were easier than this guy.

Zero flipped to her feet just in time as Centarus Flame's lance hit the ground hard where she was. As she landed she activated another Battle Card.

"Heavy Ax!" she shouted as she rushed at Centarus Flame. She began slashing at Centarus Flame with the Heavy Ax, finally doing some damage. Sadly the Battle Card ran out too soon for Zero's comfort, and Centarus Flame slashed upward at Zero knocking her away. He then slashed at Zero again doing serious damage knocking her to the ground.

Zero slowly got up pulling out a Battle Card, "Recovery..." she said activating it. She was engulfed in a white light and was healed a good deal. She looked at Centarus Flame seriously, "Xerox, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know, I honestly don't think we're strong enough to handle this," Xerox stated, actually loosing hope a bit.

Centarus Flame slowly walked up to Zero pointing his lance at Zero. He laughed evilly as he approached Zero. He then began slashing at Zero again with his lance. Zero tried to block, but was clearly still taking damage.

Zero rolled to the side activating a Wide Wave Battle Card. As she got up she fired point blank at Centarus Flame, surprised at how much damage she did.

"Xerox! It wasn't that he's immune to water, he was just faster than the attack!" Zero shouted.

"Then we just have to hit him up close!" Xerox shouted in response. Zero smirked, as she had just the perfect Battle Card for that.

"Aqua Sword!" she shouted activating a blue Long Sword. She then began slashing at Centarus Flame finally doing serious damage. She knocked him back and then pulled out three more of those Battle Cards.

Her next move was the finisher. She activated her Z-Mirage at the same time as she activated her Battle Cards, so all three of them had Aqua Swords. The three Zeros ran up to Centarus Flame one at a time slashing at him. When the real Zero passed him, it was her slash that did the most damage.

Centarus Flame screamed in pain as he exploded. Thankfully Zero saw him Trans Out before he was deleted. Zero fell to her knees in exhaustion.

"You okay kid?" Xerox asked.

"I'm fine Xerox. Let's Trans Out and make sure everything's okay in the real world."

Zero Transed Out from the sprinkler, unaware that the red crystals were vanishing around them.

Outside the school, the students and staff had been evacuated after the doors finally opened. Kitty was frantic outside waiting for Luna. She kept running around the front trying to get a clear view of the school. She looked to the side and saw Bud, Zack, and Pat waiting as well, they looked worried.

Kitty ran up to them and tapped Bud on the shoulder.

"Hey, you're friends with Luna, right?" Kitty asked.

"Yeah, we are. Are you Kitty?" Bud asked.

"Yes, I am. Where's Luna?" Kitty asked harshly.

"Um..." Bud said looking at Zack and Pat, as if waiting for them to give him an answer. The way she asked that it was clear that she hadn't told Kitty that she was Zero. Kitty grabbed Zack by the shirt and held him up.

"You know something, don't you?" she asked, getting really upset. Zack was absolutely terrified.

"Uh... guys!" Zack said.

Pat closed his eyes, letting his alternate personality Rey take over. Rey, who had no qualms hitting a girl was about to strike at Kitty, but was stopped when...

"Hey, someone else is exiting the school!" a fireman said. Kitty turned to the school and dropped Zack.

"Is it Luna?" she said rushing up to the front again. Zack pulled out his inhaler and used it. Bud and Rey watching Kitty.

"Sheesh, does she have a crush on Luna or something?" Rey asked. Bud shook his head at that statement.

The firemen ran up to Luna, who was still exhausted from the fight against Cantarus Flame.

"Are you okay miss?" one fireman asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Luna said, even though she was still out of it. She then heard commotion from the crowd, and a few officers fussing at someone.

"Hey, you can't be over here!" the officer shouted. Luna looked and saw Kitty running up to her.

"Kitty!" Luna said as Kitty embraced her.

"Oh Luna, I'm glad you're okay. I was so worried about you," Kitty said tightening her embrace. Luna put her arms around Kitty returning the embrace smiling.

"Don't worry Kitty, I'm fine. But thanks for worrying," Luna said softly. It was almost too good to be true, having a good friend like Kitty, but it was true, and Luna knew it.

School ended early that day, and Luna and Kitty decided to walk home together. As they walked a police car drove by, Ryan in the back seat.

"I can't believe Ryan would do something like that," Luna said looking down. Kitty looked at Luna.

"Luna, are you going to be okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, Kitty," Luna turned to Kitty, "I'm more worried about you. Your first week and already the school is attacked." Kitty laughed.

"They way you said that it sounds like it happens often," Kitty said with a smile.

"Not too often, but still," Luna closed her eyes remembering the days when Geo was defending Echo Ridge, "This town has a tendency to attract attention."

Before Kitty to say anything to that, a limo rode up to them. The door opened and Luna's parents came out.

"Luna, dear," her mother said walking up to her. Luna was absolutely shocked.

"Mom! Dad! You're back early," Luna said as she hugged her mother.

"We decided to get the work done a quickly as possible so we could spend time with you," her father said, then looking at Kitty raising an eyebrow, "And who's this young lady?"

"Oh, this is Kitty. She's a new student at Echo Ridge High," Luna said. Kitty walked up to Luna's parents and bowed to them.

"It's nice to meet you Mr. And Mrs. Platz," Kitty said sweetly.

"Nice to meet you too, Kitty," Mrs. Platz said holding out her hand for Kitty to shake, "It's nice that Luna finally has a female friend." Luna rolled her eyes in embarrassment.

"Mother..." she groaned. Mrs. Platz look at Luna with a smile.

"Why don't we invite her over for dinner tonight?" Mrs. Platz asked.

"I think that would be a wonderful idea," Mr. Platz agreed. Kitty looked taken aback.

"That's alright," she said quickly, "I don't want to be a burden."

"Nonsense Kitty," Mrs. Platz reasoned, "Our home is your home tonight."

"Please," Luna said catching Kitty's attention, "I'd like it if you'd stay too."

Kitty knew that she should head back to Issac's place soon, and she was warned that if Luna became a problem then it would be bad, in the end though, she decided...

"How can I refuse."
