A war against another kind
Chapter 13
A/N Yo guys I'm soooo sorry that I haven't updated in a few days, it's because I've been helping my friend with her story, I've also been trying to think of a name for the flightless dragons so I ask my other friend Belitinog and he gave a good name for them (All rights reserved to him for the name). Lastly I've been thinking of extra things for Kirk and also some extra story plot, so let's go.
Chapter 13: Day one
Kirk woke up a little sore from all the activity yesterday, but that wasn't gonna stop him; he needed to get more powerful to help his friends. So he got past his laziness and started to get up, when he tried a weight was on his back that he instantly realized was Glacia. He just laid down again and waited for Glacia to wake up.
About five minutes later…
Kirk had laid I the bed so long he was almost about to fall asleep when Glacia started to move and woke him up again. Glacia grumbled and said "Well good morning Kirk, how long you been awake"? Kirk shook his head a little and said "About five minutes, I would've gotten up earlier but you were on top of me". Glacia smiled and kissed Kirk and replied "Awww that's sweet" then she got off and jumped out of bed.
Kirk was about to get out of bed when he saw Glacia stretching in a… let's say satisfying pose. Kirk was about to snap out of it when she looked at him and said "You enjoying the show or do you just got a drooling problem"? She asked sarcastically. Kirk just said "Well if I'm the only one who can enjoy this view I might as well watched". She just smiled and walked out the door; Kirk jumped out of bed and ran after her just remembering to close the door.
Kirk and Glacia walked down to the cafeteria to grab some food, when they got there they saw Spyro and Cynder… surrounded by their adoring fans. They both laughed and took the chance to get in the front of the line while everyone was distracted. They grabbed their food just in time to see that a black puff of smoke appear from the middle of the crowd, then suddenly Spyros voice came beside them and said "We'll meet you in the dojo, don't worry we got our own food already".
Kirk and Glacia shrugged and went to eat; they quickly finished up their meal and went to the dojo. Once again they entered the dojo and the Guardians were waiting for them, they bowed to the Guardians and the Guardians greeted them back. Terrador started "Glacia, like last time you will train with Cyril then later Cyril will work with Kirk so you can practice". Cyril and Glacia walked to one side of the dojo and began the days training. Terrador continued "Kirk, Spyro and I will work you while Volteer works with Cynder; he's been looking through the library looking for new abilities for her". Cynder walked with Volteer to the other side of the dojo while Spyro, Terrador and Kirk all went to another side.
Kirks 3rd person POV
"Ok for now I will teach you some new earth abilities, then Spyro will teach you a few things then finally spar with you". Terrador began. Kirk looked at Terrador like he was crazy and said "But won't that risk me trying to kill Spyro again"? Terrador chuckled and replied "No not anymore we brought in a very special crystal that wards off the darkness". Kirk still wasn't convinced "How do you know it works". Terrador looked at Volteer who was still talking to Cynder and said "Volteer did more tests with the crystal and our blood, and it seems to nullify the effects". Kirk accepted this answer and was now ready to learn.
Terrador started explaining how to do a few earth attacks including shooting boulders, earth mace, earth shockwave and the most advanced one of the four earth sphere. Kirk at first wasn't able to do the boulder and mace but was able to perform the shockwave really fast, but eventually he was able to successfully do all the moves in quick succession. Finally when Terrador was satisfied with the first three he made him try to sustain the earth ball as long as he could, Kirk was able form the sphere and hold it about 2 seconds. Kirk knew that it would be hard but it would've been harder if he hadn't had teachings from both Terrador and sometimes Spyro.
Terrador gave him some advice on the special way to use earth, the technique was to calm down and open his mind to nature at the same time. This was very difficult for Kirk but was partially able to do it and held the sphere for about 8 seconds. Terrador had him do this for about half an hour, until his focus allowed himself to attack the training dummies constantly without stop. Terrador decided it was a good time for him to check on everyone else while Spyro taught some of what he knew.
Spyro took over and began with a short explanation "Fire is a dangerous element that is most commonly used to destroy but in the right paws it can become a dangerous weapon to your enemies, my job is to show how to control yourself". Kirk nodded knowing full well that is was dangerous to himself… and others.
Spyro began with the good old fashion flame breath attack then went with comet dash, fire claws and finally fire mines. Kirk got the flame breath down easily and the comet dash took a bit of effort but was able to figure it out quickly, the flame claws were new to him entirely and when he got it to work he lost focus because he got scared when is claws lit up. Spyro chuckled but told him that it happened to him too then told him to try again, Kirk did it again ad was amazed that his claws were burning and not hurting him. Naturally his brain wanted to blow o it or shake his paw to extinguish but he overcame it.
The final move the magma mines was really weird due to the fact that it wasn't fire but lava, Spyro explained the concept to him and tried once, twice, three time then finally shot a magma mine on the floor; Spyro summoned up a dummy and ordered it to walk in to the mine and the resulting explosion literally melted the dummy so fast it had no time to puff away. Although it was really cool lava shot everywhere and nearly hit a few of the other dragons. Everyone knew that the little drops wouldn't have hurt them much anyway but Terrador still gave the two the evil eye and Spyro shouted "SORRY I forgot that I had to worn everyone about that"!
Spyro turned towards Kirk and said "Well you can keep practicing on the dummies just try to avoid using the mine". Kirk nodded then started practicing on the dummies.
Glacia 3rd person
Glacia and Cyril walked to the side of the dojo they would work in, "So you will work with me for the morning until I have to work with Kirk so I will have to get you to learn fast" Glacia nodded then looked away still feeling a little shy around Cyril even though she had been with him awhile for a bit two days ago. Cyril noticed this and asked "What's wrong young one"? Glacia looked at him again and replied "I'm sorry I just get nervous when I meet new people". Cyril had a feeling that that was the problem he said "Don't worry, being a Guardian means that I had and have the highest respect from others, which means trust is something that every student I have taught know I give and receive you have nothing to be nervous of.
Glacia looked at him for a third time, but this time she saw someone she could trust and she finally relaxed. Cyril began teaching her a few moves that consisted of ice shards, ice breath, ice bomb and ice storm. Glacia had done most of the moves before; unlike Kirks dad her father did teach her how to use her elements. As a result she was able perform the shard and breath attacks right off the bat. The ice bomb took a couple tries but she got it down, unlike the magma mine it didn't quite explode it more exploded into a random ice form covering the dummies. The ice storm required a lot of focus and about half an hour of trying she was finally able to start and sustain the whirlwind for a decant amount of time.
When she finished doing that Terrador stopped by and asked "How's the training going"? Cyril smiled and replied "Going faster than I expected, she has potential". Glacia smiled on the inside hearing that. Terrador smiled and said "That's good Kirk is progressing fairly well, he just started his fire lessons with Spyro". Cyril looked at Glacia and said "You may practice for awhile while Terrador and I talk". Glacia nodded and practiced on dummies.
She was practicing for awhile when an explosion went off and small drops of red liquid flew in the air. A drop of it landed near Glacia and hissed on contact with the floor, then the smell of burning entered her nose and she finally realized what the liquid was. Then Spyro shouted "SORRY I forgot I had to worn everyone about that"! Glacia smiled at the incident and continued to practice.
Kirk POV again
Spyro told Kirk that it was time for Volteer to teach him and walked away, Volteer walked up to Kirk and said "So it's my turn to teach you, first Electricity is a rather dangerous element so powerful it can power machines and even entire cities". Kirk understood and they began with training. Volteer started with the average lightning bolt, then arc lightning, electro bombs, and finally the magnetic field attack. The lightning bolt was really powerful but is like a single shot, this was also very easy for Kirk. The arc lightning was a less powerful but more constant attack with the ability to damage multiple targets at once. The electro bomb was useful because it hits the ground and then explodes causing huge shock damage to any surrounding enemies, this didn't come quite as easy as the two first attacks. Finally the magnetic field was extremely hard to perform it was an odd attack as well, it is an attack that affects the world around the user. It causes you to either increase or decrease gravity, this took almost to lunch to perform this, but finally he was able to get it done for about five seconds.
Lunch went by pretty fast, probably because lunch was only 15 minutes long, but at least they got something decent to eat. They came back and Cyril taught the same moves to Kirk, he seemed to learn them all a little faster than other elements so the battle between Spyro and himself started about half an hour later.
Spyro and Kirk assumed their positions at either side of the arena and waited for the Guardians to start the match, one of the Guardians yelled "Go"! And the fight began. They both started with comet dashing at each other and a few seconds they were a mere meter away from each other, Kirk suddenly jumped and as he passed by Spyro he whipped him in the face. Spyro was surprised and nearly tripped from the shock, he turned around after slowing down to see a fire ball flying toward him he ducked and saw Kirk running towards him starting to turn green. He had no chance he still needed to get back up, Kirk changed fully to earth and blasted Spyro with a shockwave that didn't send him flying but still hurt him, his low profile allowed him to avoid a large portion of the attack and his claws gripped the floor as well. Kirk decided the best decision for this unexpected twist was to ram him, so he rammed Spyro and started turning red for his new plan. Spyro was surprisingly ready for this he ducked down again and as Kirk came near he pushed up and head butted his chin, this dead stopped him and he doubled over on his back almost completely knocked out from the hit. All Kirk could see was stars and red at the bottom of his vision, the attack was so unexpected he could hardly believe it had happened the only thing he could say was "OWW"!
Somehow he got up and staggered around from dizziness and finally recovered, everyone was shocked he got up so fast. Then out of nowhere he blasted Spyro with one fire ball and staggered to a wall to get his balance back. Spyro didn't take the attack in a bad way it was just a quick way to get some revenge; he walked to Kirk and said "Hey man I'm so sorry; I wasn't expecting to hit you that hard". Kirk closed his eyes partially because he needed the world to stop spinning and mostly so he could focus and say "It's… ok … I'm…fine for now".
Terrador voice boomed in the air "Ok that's enough for today". Kirk cringed at the loud voice because his head was still aching. Spyro escorted Kirk over to Glacia who then took over. "Are you ok"? She asked a little quieter cause she saw that he wasn't ok with loud sounds. "Ya I'm ok just get me back to our room so I can rest this off". Glacia was thinking of the same thing and was already on her way.
Spyro and Cynder both walked with them and Spyro constantly apologized but Kirk would just keep saying "It's ok" until finally they reached their room. As they reached the door Kirk was basically back to normal except for the head ache and the occasional stagger. Kirk and Glacia said "good bye for now" and walked into the room.
Kirk walked to the bed and just fell over and was immediately knocked out. Glacia just thought to herself "That's three fights and we still haven't had a full fight". She went to the balcony and jumped to the next one and knocked on the wall. Cynder appeared at the curtain and said "Hey Glacia how's Kirk"? Glacia replied he's fine only asleep now, he hit him pretty hard". Cynder laughed and invited her in. Spyro was pacing like he had nearly killed someone, "Hey you know he's fine, he's not gonna die". Glacia said to the worried Spyro. Spyro relaxed and said "Well the thing is I didn't even expect that to work". Glacia smiled and said "He's gonna be fine, all he needs is sleep".
Cynder joined in "Well now that's over I would like some rest myself so I'll see you next morning". Glacia took this as her leave and went back to her room. She wrote in the book from this morning and went to bed beside Kirk to sleep.
There my longest chapter yet, and I know that the fight once again was short but it was feeling long already so I found a way out. Don't worry one of the next few chapters I will have a real fight between Spyro and Kirk. I'll mention the new name for the dragons my friend Belitinog thought up in the next chapter. Ok I think I used enough of your time today so next chapter will probably come out tomorrow or the day after.
