Author's Note:
This chapter took a while to write due to not only college work, but I also was pretty sick when I originally was planning to start to write. As a further afvisory, the Halloween chapter will still happen, and yes a small skip could happen in passing a few months in order for it to happen.
Satomi laughs evilly, "The girl you know as Satomi Hinata is dead…from now on I am known as…Icy Hail! Hopefully, everybody shall freeze in hell! I'll take you all on!"
Keena shakes her head, as her, Gavin, Lily, Michie, Kanna and Arnoul all adjust to stand in a straight line, then saying "We tried to help you…turns out you're just a cold…hard…bitch!
All 6 then say in unison, "Let's go!"
(theme song)
My mother told me
"Poor girl, be strong"
Some say I won't last
I say they're wrong
And we won't back down this time!
We are unstoppable
No, we can't be defeated
We are unstoppable
No, we don't need a reason
We are unstoppable
Yo, yo yo, yeah, oh
Yo, yo yo, yeah, oh
No, we won't back down this time!
We are unstoppable
No, we can't be defeated
We are unstoppable
No, we don't need reason
We are unstoppable…!
Episode 5: Freeze Frames
All six jump as they all attempt to punch Icy Hail, as she then counters by making 6 fists out of ice, but they easily avoid the fists in stylish fashion, as Icy Hail then front flips and does the same attack, with the fists all connecting this time, knocking them all down.
Icy Hale the snickers, "Oh, just because I'm covered in ice doesn't mean I'm just going to stay frozen.", she then laughs.
The group all then stand up, Michie first saying, "If that was your attempt of a cocky joke, you, ma'am, should need a little practice.", as Keena then also says, "Not even trying at all!", as she then sticks her tongue at her.
Icy Hail responds by saying, "Oh, how immature."
"Says the girl who's obsessed to Yumi!"
"Shut it, you chimpanzee!"
"Chimpanz—then…your mother's chest hair!", Keena then lunges and tries to kick her, but then Icy Hail then turns her arm into an icy blade, trying to swing it at Keena, but struggles to do so, barely lifting it up and says, "No, no, no! Why can't I lift it—", as she then gets kicked in the face by Keena.
Keena then says, "Something tells me you're not really used to your powers."
Icy Hail then grows a bit, "My face is still human? RAH!"
Lily notices this, "She hasn't fully learned it yet…however, don't let your guard down, guys!"
Gavin then cracks his knuckles, "So piledriving her is a nice option, then."
Kanna then also adds, "Or bite her face off."
"Or flatten her head with my mecha.", said Arnoul.
"Um…you guys are indeed watching this chick's rage, right?", says Michie as she points to Icy Hail, who gets glowing purple eyes as she then suddenly throws ice in the shape of stalagmites to their direction.
Keena yells out "ICECOMING!", as the group once again dodge the ice, continuing to make stylish moves, as the stalagmites land on the ground, sometimes close to some of them as after a couple of more seconds, the barrage of stalagmites stop…the group all being on the ground, catching their breaths.
""Icecoming"? Really?", said Kanna.
"It sounded cooler in my mind…", said Keena with a nervous chuckle.
Icy Hail clears her throat, "I'm not done yet.", as she now literally turns her arms into what looks to be muzzles.
Lily quickly notices this, saying "Grenade launcher!" as she then stretches both her arms to try to punch her stomach, as the connection lands, Lily then barrages her with punches all over her body while walking to her direction slowly, each punch connecting. After punching her a couple more times, Icy Hail kneels down and pants.
"If there's one more thing I hate more than a cold and black heart, it's lying to commit being a student in the Academy.", said Lily.
Icy Hail responds back, "Not really…because I never was."
"Let me guess, you're a CIMO8 agent, too?, said Michie.
"I was an experiment for CIMO8 when I was a kid. I wanted to feel more than human, maybe even a hero…or a villain.", Icy Hail said and laughs a bit. "I remember seeing Yumi for the first time and immediately admired—no, fell in love with her after seeing her dealing with some boys attempting to hit on her. I would wonder if she would like my powers, too."
"But wait, wait…what did your future occupation say? Wouldn't you get caught by being possibly evil?", said Keena.
"It's why your security has been known to fail a little. CIMO8's technology is far superior, from what I've heard, so you're sort of like old timers.", Icy Hail said, with a small grin.
"They're like hell to deal with…especially how this weekend has gone off…", said Gavin.
"You won't get sympathy anymore, Satomi.", said Lily.
"I never needed sympathy anyways…", said Icy Hail, closing her eyes…only to open them, launching an ice beam, as it freezes Lily's left arm, Kanna's left leg and Arnoul's chest, with everyone else barely able to avoid it. Icy Hail stands again on her feet.
"That…I admit, got me.", said Lily.
"Knew it! Too easy!", yelled Gavin.
"The ones who got hit, all okay?", said Keena.
"This could slow me down a bit, but I'll still keep going.", said Arnoul.
"Kanna?"
Kanna remains silent, looking frustrated, "Frankly…no. I can't turn into a wolf anymore…Satomi, Icy Hail, whatever the hell you want to be called, you're now dead meat! You hear me?! Big mistake!"
Icy Hail could only smile and clear her throat as she then says, "Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie, or are you gonna bite?"
Kanna immediately attempts to rush at her, only to fall due to the ice in her leg, as Icy Hail laughs, "That was so worth it! It really is pathetic, really."
Kanna then slowly crawls, without saying a word, to Icy Hail.
"What are you going to do, punch me in the shin?"
Kanna then chuckles a bit, "Actually, to tell you the truth…"
"Huh?"
Kanna's head then changes into a wolf's, with her teeth now looking like iron, "…that was ironically a lie!", Kanna replied as she completely bites Icy Hail's right leg off, causing her to wobble, straining a bit.
"Way to go, Kanna!", yelled Keena proudly.
"No way is gonna recover from that!", said Gavin.
Icy Hail sighs disappointedly, "Really? Really, guys? Come on.", she said in an odd sarcastic tone.
"You're only back sassing me because you can't stand from now on.", replied back Kanna.
Icy Hail then grows another right leg in its place, as she then stands up, with Kanna's head returning back to normal. "I could do that myself in my sleep, even. Now…", she turns her right leg into the form of an ice stalagmite.
Kanna gulps, "Well, I'm neutered."
Keena then whispers something to the rest of the team, as they nod to agree, with Gavin first leaping behind Icy Hail, grabbing her from behind, while Keena swoops in and rescues Kanna.
"You wouldn't try anything rash on a girl as myself, right?", said Icy Hail.
"Actually, you'll be the first girl I will ever hurt, and it won't matter from now on!", yelled Gavin, as he does a German Suplex move on her, making her land hard on her head.
"Step 1, complete, Gavin! Step 2, Arnoul!", yelled Keena.
Arnoul then takes out a gun-like weapon and shoots it at a slowly standing Icy Hail, as it looked like nothing happens,
"Oh, seriously, relying on a gun like that?"
Arnoul chuckles a bit, "I only use these kinds of guns for jokers like you."
"Joker?! Making fun of me, are you? Well then…", she then punches herself. "What the…how did I…", she punches herself again.
"We Liridans make quite the unique guns. This one, in particular, I like to call it the Edward Norton Self-Punch gun. It might need a better name."
After punching a few more times, Icy Hail slowly begins to bleed from the nose and then is able to stop punching, panting, "Is that it? My face is bruised, but I can keep going!"
"Step 3, Michie!"
"On it, Keena!", yelled out Michie as she opens her mouth widely and lets out a wail, heading it over to Icy Hail's direction, as she attempts to cover her ears, but it doesn't work, still hearing the wail regardless, but then purple aura appear around Icy Hail.
"Stop…it…right…NOOOOOOOOOOOOW!", as Icy Hail yelled, she causes a huge blast, as everyone else attempts to block it, but get sent flying briefly, having painful landings to the ground. After the blast, the whole group attempt to get up, some of their swimsuit clothes being a bit shredded.
"That…backfired badly…", said Keena, straining a bit.
"Don't worry…it was our first attempt of a team-up move, after all.", said Gavin.
"The wailing didn't work…maybe it's some way to nullify it.", said Lily.
"Actually, I think I know. Michie, wailing can sometimes make the opponent suddenly unstable, especially if it's someone elemental. This is pretty simple stuff to learn, you know.", explained Arnoul.
"Sorry…I just badly wanted a new move to my arsenal.", said Michie.
"Everyone, pay attention now, here she comes!", said Lily, referring to Icy Hail approaching them, as they once again are in fighting position, they all attempt to charge at her, but then Icy Hail counters by creating a giant hand made of ice that grabs all of them then throws them to the ground.
"I shall call him Skillfull Fist. You like him?", said Icy Hail, now in a calm and cool matter.
"Guh…watch out, he might need a leash.", replied back Lily.
"Fisty here might not need anything to hold him back. He might even go on his own rules if I have to."
"Hey, my leg's no longer frozen anymore. In fact, that eye ice beam attack you did earlier? Now pointless!", replied Kanna.
"Oh, why thanks for the reminder.", responded Icy Hail back as she uses said attack, but the group are all able to dodge it this time, as Lily attempts to attack the hand. Lily combines her hand to form a spiky club, and then swinging down on the hand, then yelling out, "Spherical Womp!", but the big hand wasn't fazed. "Shit, barely even a dent!", she softly cursed under her breath as then Arnoul then gets a turn as she puts on steel gloves, then jumps, putting a mode that says "jackhammer" on the gloves as her hands then magically start to punch rapidly as she lands on the hand, as the punches slowly start to work due to the hand slowly cracking.
Meanwhile, both Michie and Kanna are dealing with Icy Hail, interchanging punches and kicks between each other, with Icy Hail avoiding them pretty easily, but then Lily comes to the fray, but even her attack is avoided by Icy Hail.
"Well, here's Lily, trying to save her girlfriend. You know, if this was some sort of anime, you two wouldn't get hooked up together because they'd be too darn shy.", said Icy Hail.
"Oh, ha, ha, what a joke, because, you see, it's not that we're lesbians, we're in love for each other, so why not just leave that alone?", responded back Michie.
"I wouldn't have minded you and Yumi together, but now I see that now you're being hypocritical right now. You just want to sell your body for hers, huh?", said Lily.
"I admit it…yes, she can touch me anywhere she wants, as long as she also likes it.", said Icy Hail.
A brief pause happens, with Lily Mihcie and Kanna but then Kanna breaks the silence by saying "That felt like listening to some sort of zen riddle. It's like your only characteristic is to get your panties wet over a so-called popular girl."
"I'm more than that, you know. Did you not see my ice capades? And I got referred to having a cold heart.", said Icy Hail.
"Also, as someone who has actually seen tons of anime. It's actually people like you that don't even get the girl because you keep it so secretive and is shy about it. I even admit it's shallow until I realize that's pretty much the point." , said Michie
Icy Hail the growls and aims straight at Michie, but then steps casually out of the way as Icy Hail trips.
"Holy crap, she fell for that.", said Kanna as she then notices Lily glowing her blue aura. "How long have you been like that?"
"Since Michie was doing the speech. It was a plan. Now…Satomi, you'll have the first taste of…The Whomping!"
Icy Hail then quickly turns around and counters with a large ice barrier as the punch gets deflected, then the fist heading to Lily's direction as she's briefly flinched but is able to jump out of the way.
Michie analyzes the barrier carefully and then says, "Lily, try again!"
"I think you read my mind! If it first I don't succeed, try again!", Lily yelled out as she dishes out another Whomping.
Icy Hail scoffs, saying"You kidding me? Your most powerful move won't-", but gets interrupted as the barrier suddenly breaks. "Wait, wha-", then gets uppercutted high in the air, screaming out.
Lily then sighs in relief and then says, "How did you know, Michie?"
"If there's something I actually learned in class, is that someone with inexperience can't hold out defensive moves for that long."
Lily chuckles a bit, "Still pretending to be dumb? Don't need to continue the act."
"Didn't you do that once, though?"
"Oh, good point."
Icy Hail then lands to the ground next to them, now unconscious.
"Oof, that's gotta hurt. I give that landing a 9.5, though.", kanna replied.
Meanwhile, after Arnoul did a bit of damage on the Skillful Fist, she then says, "Keena, Gavin, you two are up next, I'll check with Lily and the others!", as she leaps to the opposite direction.
"Gavin, this is possibly the time to say something pretty cool.", said Keena.
"Alrighty, shoot.", said Gavin.
"Um…I just got flustered…"
"How come?"
"Look at how this weekend as gone. Three days, three battles…what a croc.", she giggles, slightly nervously.
"See? You still got the sense of humor."
Keena smiles, as she takes a deep breath, and now seems more focused, "Let's deal this hand from keeping it to flip the bird!"
They both lunge towards the hand as it flies up to the air and open its palm to try to squish them, but they easily avoid it, as they then unleash a barrage of punches and kicks at the hand, but then, flicks its fingers at both of them, landing on the ground.
"That's a jerk kind of move!", said Gavin.
"Compared to who I dealt with two days ago, this thing's actually more human."
"Oh, I remember, some guy named Mr X. supposedly attack here. Heard about someone supposedly kicking his ass."
Keena gulps, "Well…um…"
"You must have really whooped him to never see him again, huh?"
"If by whooped you mean "killed him on the spot", then…yeah…"
"Eh?"
The hand then takes the opportunity to shoot off some ice shards by forming it's fingers like if it was pretending it was a gun, as Keena and Gavin both avoid it all, but still talking throughout.
"Our first encounter had him putting a dog collar on me and attempted to molest me, then when I faced him again, almost attempted to do something really bad to Lily and almost kill Michie, so no damn way was I gonna let him get away with that again!"
"I instantly understand you. I'd do the same thing!"
"Oh. Well, yeah, I only do what's necessary to defend my friends!"
"That's the spirit!"
"I won't turn emotional or any of that depressing stuff, I'm gonna make sure we prevail!
They both then jump in the air and they then both attempt an elbow drop to the hand, only an attack closer to officially breaking it.
"We should have a finishing blow for it!", said Gavin.
"I think I know how! Let's both kick it!", said Keena.
"Like a Sweet Chin Music? Pretty pretty please?"
"Yes, we can even tune the band!"
They both stomp their feet slowly a few times, before letting out a yell from both of them, kicking the hand, breaking it into pieces.
"Boom goes the dynamite!", they both said, hi-fiving and laughing.
"I actually kinda wished the battle would be longer, so we can keep fighting it.", said Gavin.
"Pep talk during battle is always the best talk.", said Keena as whistling is heard.
Lily and the rest of the group appear with Icy Hail in hand cuffs, with Arnoul carrying her. Kanna is heard yelling "Hey-yo!"
"They're they are!", said Keena as she waves her arms to them.
"I don't feel like I'm getting old for this, but it just keeps getting ridiculous.", said Lily.
"Hey, be a little more faithful, my girlfriend, you.", said Michie as she pecks her on the lips a bit.
"You fell for it."
"I don't mind that.
"We came, we saw, we kicked their ass!", said Kanna.
Gavin retorts back, "We never came to them, it's actually she came to us, but we indeed saw and kicked her ass."
"Plus, she's not gonna get away.", said Keena proudly, however Icy Hail suddenly wakes up, leaps out of Arnoul's arms and summons some sort of icy wind that causes her to vanish.
"Well, she's a stinking cheater.", said Keena.
"Maybe I should have bearhugged her, instead.", said Arnoul.
"Not to worry, guys. Doesn't look like we'll worry about her for a while.", said Lily.
"Oh, good, 'cause I think we could all use a bath. Some of us are kinda staining our blood a bit…", said Michie.
"Who knew blood would feel like sweat?", said Gavin.
"Either way, they both kinda stink bad.", said Keena, before giggling a bit.
In CIMO8 headquarters, Icy Hail is seen kneeling in front of Eiko.
"You're going to pay your loyalty to me, will you?", said Eiko.
"W-well…mostly for Yumi…is she here and can I see her?", said Icy Hail
Yumi then slowly appears from behind, "You're Satomi, correct?"
Icy Hail then transforms back as Satomi, gasping in happiness.
"We'll have a bit of a special process…and your body is needed in my room…", as Yumi cops a bit of a feel on one of Satomi's breasts as Satomi moans a bit.
"If you are, then…go easy on me…", said Satomi as they then walk back in the opposite direction through a sliding door.
2V then whispers to Eiko, "She shall be another notable asset on us, don't you think?"
Eiko chuckles softly, "Well, all I can say is that she's not gonna be alone and that we're gonna get quite a possible army thanks to her. It might take months, even…but all in all, it'll be worth it. Keena Soga, weather you're the Law Of Entity or not…you'll still be vanquished!"
Back at the Academy, it's now nighttime; Kena is seen resting in her room, reading some sort of magic book.
"For the time being were called the Weekend Warriors. It was a nice little name, but I just hope it won't happen every single weekend. It's funny how Eiko could still be targeting us, and, in a way, it's also peculiar how this is the reason how we were all able to meet. At least we're always prepared, even if my ribs could turn into jelly at any minute…however; the night is not over yet."
A knock is heard in the door.
"Come in.", said Keena. The door opens, revealing to be Gavin.
"Hey, K-Keena…"
"You look like you saw a mouse with rocket boosters attached to its back. What's going on?"
Gavin laughs a bit, but then clears his throat, "Mind if we talked for a while?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"I haven't really told you how I got into the Academy in the first place. Wanna hear about it?"
"It's great to know more about people, so you indeed can go ahead.". she said, with a notable smile on her face.
"Well…it's a little embarrassing, but it's sort of my parents' idea. They figured I could need self-defense, but I felt kind of weak before transferring here."
"You don't seem weak, though."
"Well…I've kinda grown into it and trained myself, and look at me now…not muscly but as a fan of wrestling I figured it'd be quite an ability…and doing it on that Jersey Shore reject? Amazing."
"He must have some sort of target practice.", she giggles.
Gavin scratches his head and chuckles a bit, "I've trained with other people, but yeah, I basically had him as a market target cause he's quite a jackass."
"Still…never thought I'd have to face her again…okay, it's a little weird saying that since we never have met face to face…I just realized how odd it is to have an enemy I haven't even met."
"Speaking of self-defense…and you?"
"I secretly trained for the past couple of months…it was a more of a humorous painful progress that I thought."
"Is it a Karate Kid-like progress?"
"No, just a unique one. I even punched and kicked while flying, it was…unique."
He laughs, "Is learning to fly difficult, or…?"
"Actually, pretty easy, probably because it's just that fun."
"I don't think I need to fly. Although…you can teach me if you want…", he said with a blush.
"If you want, as well…", she said, also with a blush.
Gavin the abruptly says, "I'm crushing on you!", but then covers his mouth quickly and hides his face, with Keena's whole face being beet red.
"G-Gavin…"
"I'll leave the room now…goodbye."
Keena then grabs his shoulder with her right hand, then saying "I'm flattered…I really am…and I think you're really sweet, too, although I admit, starting a relationship this fast is a little risky…"
"I don't want to feel alone anymore…I have friends now, but I admit…I need someone like you around all the time…but I guess I understand that it's too soon…all I can say is that…you're easily the most beautiful, cute, and dare I say, hottest girl I have ever met in my life…you're that cool to me…even if we sort of just met…it's like fate."
"You're kind, too…I can already tell from your look…it's lucky you were able to hang out with us, even if it was in a sudden moment. I need someone just as badly, too…at least you have parents that care about you…I've lived this strongly with my parents missing for years…but I never think that they're dead ever. I just know that they're likely surviving on their own, hoping I'm able to be alright. It's the way of life…it can be harsh, but it can also be sweet."
"You should take poetry classes…that was nothing short of amazing.", he said, now hugging her.
"Speaking of amazing…so is now our love.", she said as they embrace into a loving kiss.
"I remember seeing poems being really negative about love, going as far as saying that a kiss may ruin a human life…to which I say, they're just over exaggerating. I believe love keeps on blooming as long as you will it. If it ends, it ends, but regardless, having a loved one means that you'll always have someone to be around. It's that simple. Never be negative and make bad love poems, instead at least cheer up, y'know. Is this gonna go smooth sailing? Or a rocky path. Depending if a certain enemy is gonna track us, but even if they do…we'll defend our Academy with all our costs. We'll finally cross our paths, Eiko, and when we'll do…it's a showdown accepted and brought!"
(ending song)
We're all young and naive still
We require certain skill
The motive changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins
Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
