Enjoy and I thank you for your reviews! :) Don't worry, I won't torture Jack! ;P
Chapter 4: Undefeated
They all sat in the infirmary after the all the rough housing that happened in the courtyard and cafeteria. For some reason some of the students outside made their way to the lunchroom and started a breakout there too. In turn, this caused everyone to get into trouble. The punishment being they were locked into their dorms for the rest of the day after they left the infirmary. At least, the ones that needed to go to the infirmary. All of which the losers had to be here, sitting on two soft beds as they waited for treatment. Some of them received treatment from each other while the rest needed to see a healing nurse.
Jack actually didn't need to be here since he was unscathed. He was there for his friends. After the moment when Elsa made haste to black his eye, Sherman came at the right moment to pause everything and everyone, in time. Anna had run to get him and luckily he was on his way back to them for his father had called him to come eat lunch with him today. He only came back to tell them that. He and Anna also bore witness to Elsa's punch to Jack. Anna found it humorous since she hadn't seen her sister that upset since the incident with the C-classed girl. But Jack didn't find this funny; he didn't find it funny at all. It was an accident, what if she thought he did it on purpose.
"Man, Jack. She was about to black your eye for sure." Said Sherman, shaking his head in amusement.
"You think she'll forgive me if I apologized?
"Yeah." Said Anna. "I'd give it a month." "A month?!" "Or longer since she does look pissed." "What?!"
Anna laughed.
He shook his head at the memory and could recall the look on Elsa's face with her fist extended before his eye. Yes, Sherman did save him from a bruise but it didn't help his feelings. He felt bad since he hadn't meant to do it. What made it worse was she seemed to have thought he did it on purpose. He knew she did since he didn't exactly have a good record on his name for upping girls' skirts. But most of it was fun and games. He liked Elsa. He didn't want her to misunderstand that. He would never violate her in any way or even make an attempt at touch her breasts like he accidently did. He was also sure Hiccup felt the same way. But Sherman wasn't able to save him in time from getting hit. He had a couple of bruises and it took time for him to find Toothless since the girl smacked him far off into the skies. The only thing fortunate for Hiccup was that when Sherman did come, the assault stopped. Belle probably would have kept hitting him if he hadn't.
"God, that girl is strong! Luckily Sherman came or else I'd have a concussion." Said Hiccup as Jack looked over to him to see Ariel placing a cold pack on top of Hiccups head; he hissed.
"Sorry, Hiccup. You have a couple of bumps; I was trying to keep the swelling down so the nurse can heal them properly." Said Ariel as Hiccup nodded carefully to keep the ice pack on his head. "I know, but it hurts. I can't believe she hit me with her book. Right boy?" He looked down to see Toothless moan as he rubbed his head.
"And it was a big book too!" said Kristoff from across him on the other bed; where Jack sat, as he looked over the scraps on his arms. "I'm glad I didn't decide to help you three. Or else, I'd be sitting here with bruises from S-classed people. But instead got scrapes from someone throwing pine needles. But it's better than the conquerors."
"Ha, at least you guys weren't shot across the courtyard, eh Naveen?" smiled Anna while sitting in a chair between Kristoff and Hiccup; holding an ice pack on her bruised arm. In the mist of battle she purposely went to pay Jasmine a visit.
Naveen groaned from where he lay on the bed both Jack and Kristoff were seated at its edge. They all looked to him as he laid there completely wet with a towel placed over him; he had a slight frown on his face. "Did you see how far she threw me?! I can't believe she threw me that far!"
They all laughed. "Serves you right for miscalculating! I wouldn't have these bruises!" complained Hiccup as he shifted around his icepack.
"And Elsa wouldn't have tried to punch me." Mumbled Jack as he looked away into nothing; frowning at this.
"Oh please! You both should have listened when I said, WAIT!" they continued to laugh as Ariel made her way to him to give Naveen an ice pack as well for his head since he complained about it earlier when they pulled him out of the water.
"Naveen, why didn't you move?!" asked Anna when Sherman made his way into the room with fresh clothes for Naveen to change into. Naveen sat up when he threw the clothes to him and caught them as he moved to get up. He smirked at Anna's question and made his way to the bathroom to change his clothes as he shut the door behind him.
"It's obvious!" he said from behind the door; confusing his friends.
"What's obvious?" pried Anna since she was now, very curious.
"Her shirt was wet!"
"What?!" they all asked in unison as they thought about it. The boys caught on quickly.
They laughed! And so did Naveen when he finished changing as he opened the door to walk out of the room. The girls still took a minute before they blinked knowingly; they frowned.
"Naveen!"
'"What?" he shrugged his shoulders—a mistake since he soon groaned from the ache and went for a seat back on his bed where Sherman had now placed himself. "It was the first time I've seen a girls' bra through her shirt! Her jacket and vest was off too!" He looked up dreamily. "She must like the color green."
"Perv!" Anna rolled her eyes as the others continued laughing; the nurse soon walked into their room before they all sent smiles her way for she was their favorite nurse, they hoped to get her. Nurse Kida was very kind and she also taught the Power Healing class set only for those entering the tournament or 3rd and 4th years. The only time she was in the infirmary was if someone called in or extra hands were needed. In this case, someone called in.
"Yay! We got nurse Kida!" grinned Anna excitedly as Nurse Kida shook her head chuckling at her favorite group. "You seven are in here again, I see!" The white-haired woman smiled as she looked over chart, flipping through the pages to ensure she was in the right room.
"Aw, you love us!" smiled Jack as he playfully batted his lashes. His friends giggled as Nurse Kida rolled her eyes; slowly waddling over to the corner desk by the window where she carefully took a seat on the wheeled stool—placing down her chart and sending Jack a crossed look with a relieved sigh. "Riiight, Jack! Am I to guess correctly that you started all of this?" she smirked then when Jack grinned before looking over a Naveen knowingly.
"Nope! Not this time! Right, Naveen!"
Naveen grumbled as he slouched. "Whatever!"
They all laughed again including Nurse Kida. "That doesn't surprise me in the least!"
"It wasn't my fault!" Now Naveen sent his friends a disbelieving look. "And I can't believe you're blaming me! All I was trying to do was help Jack and Hiccup since they act like they can't just talk to people!"
"What do you mean and me?!" now Hiccup looked up from petting Toothless, trying to keep the ice pack steady on his head. "Last I remember, you were helping Jack! Not me!"
""Oh please! You and Jack both have a hard time just talking to people you like! And if my advice didn't help, nothing will!" Jack and Hiccup looked at him incredulously as the others laughed—entertained by their friendly quarrel.
"Now when has Naveen's advice ever been good advice?" came Kristoff as he flashed Naveen a grin only to receive a scowl. Everyone smiled at this since it was true.
"He's right, Naveen!" said Sherman as Naveen now sent him a look. "It takes you a while to pick up a girl. And when you do, it's either because she was stupid or easy. And even then it never made a difference because they were the same if you ask me. Stupid and easy."
Now this made them all laugh so hard, they paused for a long moment to catch their breath. Nurse Kida loved these kids. They were so funny and so silly. They didn't take as many things seriously as the majority, she loved that fact. She couldn't wait for them to be a part of her class. Teaching them the healing art will be a privilege worth the experience. It would make her class less boring to her since everyone just did as she told them. These kids actually had a brain with a personality. She loved diversity and broad opinions. Having students with several different perspectives was pleasing. She hoped for the same qualities in her children, one day.
"You know what, I won't help you again!"
"Yes you will!" smiled Jack as Naveen scoffed. "We're buds. You'll always help me, like I'll always help you!"
Naveen said nothing because it was true; but it didn't stop him from scoffing again as Sherman pat his back. "There, there friend! We still love you!"
"Shut up!"
They all giggled lowly since their ribs hurt from laughing. Nurse Kida wrote something down on her chart before turning to them again to see them all looking at her; at least..at first…it looked like they were looking at her but when she realized they were looking downward in her direction, she understood.
And her eyes sparkled as she moved to rub her swollen belly and knew they had a world of questions. "Ask away!"
"Does that hurt?" asked Ariel first since she was the most curious as she walked over from standing next to Anna and having a seat on the other side of the desk by the window.
"Not all the time, no."
"Does it move?" asked Anna next; roaming her eyes over Nurse Kida's belly curiously.
"Yes, but not as much as you're thinking. And he is more appropriate than it."
They all thought…'Ewww…'
"Sorry." Mumbled Anna.
"And that doesn't hurt?" asked Kristoff; making a face with Sven nodding on his shoulder.
"No, not really." Nurse Kida smiled at his face.
"Do you have a name for him?" asked Hiccup. "If not, name him after me!" he grinned and the white-haired woman laughed. "No, Hiccup."
"Name him Naveen!"
"No…Sherman!"
"Jack!"
"OLAF!" beamed Anna as everything in the room fell silent as she received blank looks from all around. Only Nurse Kida continued laughing. Anna blinked to her friends. "What?!"
"Really, Anna…Olaf?!"
Anna slouched. It seemed like a good idea at the time. "Well…I like it."
"How long are you pregnant for? I can't remember!" asked Ariel as she looked up to think about it.
"Nine months."
Their eyes bulged. "What?!"
"I don't understand how you can waddle around like that for that long!" said Jack, only to receive a nudge on his ribs from Kristoff as Nurse Kida rolled her eyes. "Ow." The others laughed.
"What a way to be rude, Jack."
"I wasn't!"
"It's fine. I'm already used to Jack and his unnecessary commentary by now." Said Nurse Kida as she then carefully got up and waddled over to Anna first.
"Come on, let me heal your wounds first before the Head Nurse thinks something's wrong. You don't want her in here, now do you?"
"NO!" they all replied as Anna moved her ice pack from her arm and Nurse Kida gently took her wrist and placed her hand over her swollen wound. Her palm glowed a vibrant blue as the swelling slowly went down; everyone looked on in amazements as usual. All except Jack.
Jack looked away at nothing as his thoughts clouded with Elsa. He had to apologize to her. He needed to apologize to her. He didn't want her thinking negative things of him. He couldn't wait a month for that or whenever she would come around if she chose not to accept his apology. He had to think more on this, he'd give it a week. Yes, a week a most. He'd try everyday he sees her to apologize. He'd have to swallow his nerves and casually talk to her. He had to try. Try his best at this.
'If only she wasn't so damn pretty….'
"I can't believe he did that!" frowned Elsa, dressed in her snowflake print pajama bottoms and her sky blue trap tank with her hair completely out of its braid; pooling down her mid-back. She sat on her bed flipping through Tv stations with her remote; upset that she will be missing her last two classes of the day because of the fights in both the courtyard and cafeteria that did not involve her. She did come close to punching Jack Frost for his clumsiness and his perverted sense at upping girls skirts. Naturally she felt he did this on purpose. He and his friends were tricksters and pranksters through and through including her sister so there was no way it was an accident! Too bad Sherman stopped her, she could sense it was him but she wasn't able to avert it. That only made to upset her more when she and everyone else was finally released from his time control for she fell forward and on to her face because of the force behind her punch hitting nothing but air. The same was said with Belle for even she fell to the ground when her book contacted nothing as well and she put most of her physical power into it.
Elsa scowled at the memory and unconsciously moved to rub her bandaged forehead. Her punch did pack a lot of power enough to bruise her when she missed. She'll be sure to never miss again. "Ugh, my head."
Tiana laughed from within the small kitchen that resided within their dorm room, she was preparing her and Elsa some freshly baked lemon cookies. "I don't think he meant to do that, El!"
Elsa scoffed. "No, he meant to! It makes no sense how he ended up between my legs on accident! Do you know how embarrassing that was!" She blushed at the memory.
"Yeah, and Belle was in the same situation. Only she got to hit him for it. The problem for me though…."
"Your shirt?"
"Yes! Can you believe that?" Elsa giggled when she heard the stove slam shut however soon reverted back to her annoyance to relate since her forehead still throbbed. She chose not to go to the infirmary since it wasn't anything drastic but the pain was still there.
"They planned it! They had to! Frost is known for this type of idiocy! The same goes for the dragon summoner and the shape-shifter."
"I still don't know about them, but Naveen! He did it on purpose!" Tiana was scowling when she left out of the private kitchen with a plate piled with cookies. Elsa sniffed the air and grinned when she watched Tiana place the plate on their end table(residing between their beds) as Tiana plopped down on her bed dressed in frog print pajama shorts and a pink tee with her hair out also. Both girls feeling free to be out of their daily uniforms.
Tiana moved to eat one of her cookies as Elsa watched with wide eyes. Tiana looked at the TV; waiting for Elsa to talk; moving again for another cookie but then paused upon realizing that she was being watched. She then grinned as she grabbed another cookie and gave Elsa a knowing smile. "Would you like some Elsa?" Of course she made the cookies for them both however she found it amusing how Elsa, to this day, would always wait to be offered or she'd ask instead of helping herself. She guessed it was just her nature to be polite.
"Why, thank you!" Elsa played in amazement as she went for a cookie. "Mmmm…" Tiana giggled. "You're so silly."
"I'm glad you made them. It helps let off some steam." Elsa went for another cookie.
"I know. I looked forward to Home Economics and now I can't go." Grumbled Tiana as she sat back on her pillow. "I swear, if I so much as see Naveen tomorrow…."
"Ugh! That's right, I have Mr. Sandman's class with Frost. He's doing partner assignments again and the picks are random. What if I get Frost?"
"Ah, I don't think it'll be that bad. He seems to like you more than anything." Said Tiana as she got up to get something to drink from the kitchen as Elsa paused to look at her and think about what she was implying. "You want some milk?"
"Yes!" Replied Elsa and then questioned.."What do you mean by that? Like me more than anything?"
"Can't you tell?" Tiana asked from the kitchen; the sound of the fridge opening and closing could be heard. "He looks your way almost every time you're within sight of him."
Elsa blinked for a moment to process what she was saying as Tiana came back and handed her a glass of milk and sit back on her bed. And then it clicked to her. 'Ooohh!' She frowned. "I can't imagine Jack Frost having a crush on me." Elsa tacked. "I can only imagine him going out of his way to annoy me!"
Tiana chuckled at this after having a sip of her milk and placing in on the table and went for another cookie. "Maybe…I only asked because he keeps gawking at you from what I can tell." Tiana then looked up as she thought about it with her cookie hanging half-out of her mouth. "In fact, he's been staring at you since last year…" Her brow furrowed. "….from what I can remember."
"HA! The day Frost falls for me will be the day I freeze hell over with the blink of my eye."
Tiana chuckled. "Aw Elsa, think about it. He may just like you!"
Elsa shuddered at the thought. "No…He's just a nuisance. Nothing more. It makes no sense for me to spark the interest of someone like Frost. Especially seeing our differences in both interest and class."
"That may be, but keep in mind…" Tiana raised her brow to Elsa as Elsa raised her brow in return. "You are popular among the male populous."
"Hahahahaha.." Elsa laughed at this and Tiana giggled. "It's true." She said between chews. Elsa fell back on her bed in uncontrollable laughter.
Tiana then gave her a look before rolling her eyes. "Alright, I see you're making fun of me now."
"No I'm..haha..haha….not…haha...it's just…hahaha." Elsa continued her fits as she rolled into a ball to clench her stomach. Tiana crossed her arms playfully with an evil glint in her eye.
"Okay…if that's how it is!" The green clad girl got up from her bed and grabbed her plate of cookies. "Then you won't need these!"
Elsa quickly sat up; laughter gone. "Please not the cookies!"
Tiana stopped just short of the kitchen with an amused look before it was her turn to laugh. "El, you should have seen the look on your face!"
Elsa got up from the bed and took the plate from her; quickly going back to where she was seated. She popped a cookie into her mouth; moaning at the taste. "I couldn't live without these." Joked Elsa as Tiana laughed walking back to her spot.
"I can tell. You, Hans, and all the others act the same way." Tiana shook her head as she moved to get her notebook and pen from the dresser drawer, placing her feet up on her bed as she crossed her legs to write. "I'm going to write some more recipes that just came to mind."
Elsa nodded as she put down the plate, swallowing the cookies she had. "Yes, please, do that.." she said playfully. Tiana laughed. "My parents would find me disgraceful for eating so many sweets thanks to you. Acting like some savage and barbarian ready to snap a person's fingers over cookies and cakes!"
Tiana grinned to contain herself from mirth as Elsa smiled at her own joke. "You put something in them."
"No, I didn't!"
They shared a laugh.
Elsa's cell rung on her dresser as both girls turned to it; their laughter dissipating before Tiana turned back to writing more recipes. Elsa, thinking it was Anna, then moved to roll over on to the other side of her bed and grabbed for her turquoise-colored flip phone and looked at the number shown. Hans.
"What does he want? I planned to get a head start on my homework."
"Hans?" Tiana knew who was calling. Most likely for a challenge.
Elsa laughed. "Yup." She flipped her phone open to answer. "Hans. What do you have for me today?!
Hans chuckled on the other line. "You already know!"
"What game?"
"Power of duty!" Elsa's eyes lit up.
"We'll have our own room?"
"Of course! I don't like playing with underclassmen!"
"What playing field?"
"Ah…either the deserted courtyard or the tech lab."
"Any new characters?"
"Yeah…" Hans smirked on his end. "They added the legendary pack….Miss Maleficent is included."
"Yes!" Elsa grinned as excitement coursed through her veins. Both Tiana and Hans could feel this since they both smiled and shook their heads.
"Who else is playing?"
"Violet, Eric, Belle, me, you and invite Tiana. I'll get Rapunzel! She'll have Rider play most likely."
"Call me back when you're on!" Hans laughed as Elsa hung up and quickly rolled off her bed to run and jump over onto the couch. Tiana giggled from behind her notebook.
"Power of duty?"
"Yes!" said Elsa excitedly while she set up the black and blue console made specially for the students of the school. Never released anywhere in the world except for the here, elementary branch, the middle school branch, and the college branch; the board thought it best for them to have something at the very least to keep them from straying to the outside world and to keep them entertained during weekends. Computers, TVs, and laptops of the likes were also included. This console was different compared to others. This came with a headset and goggles. Once the goggles are on, the game is seen through them. A virtual world played however, with joysticks. The creators are working for it to be played full body without the stick. But it didn't stop them from enjoying it!
"Come play Tiana! Please!" said Elsa as she placed on the headset and put on her goggles. She sat back on the couch as a white light flashed before her eyes behind her goggles. "The others are playing too! Hans wants you to play and so do I!"
"Okay." Sighed Tiana as she rolled her eyes. She knew there was nothing she could say to keep from being asked again and again before she gave in. She set down her notebook and walked to the couch to sit down. She leaned over to the coffee table to get the other set of goggles and placed them on while reaching for the joystick and headset.
Tiana smiled behind the goggles as she too, sat back, only with her legs crossed. Now if only the school saw their uppity Conquerors acting like schoolyard idiots. "Alright, game on!"
"YES!" yelled Elsa excitedly while pumping her fists into the air as Tiana looked away amused.
The next day came and went as fast as the rest of the week. Jack sat out in the courtyard where he and his friends would usually sit with his half-eaten lunch next to Sherman and Anna with Ariel, Kristoff, and Naveen sitting across from him. Hiccup most likely hadn't left class yet. He would've asked for some help from Anna but found it wrong since she was the closest person to Elsa aside from her friends. He also didn't like asking for favors from girls. It was an international crime to do so if you were a male. At least….from his perspective. Some guys were cool with that type of thing, getting help from others but then he felt he'd end up relying on it all of the time and he didn't want that. He, as a male, can do this himself. He just had to get over his nerves. Approaching Elsa was a feat in itself. Her aura radiated superiority and it made tough for him.
'Man this shit is hard.' Thought Jack. He did look over to the tree to see that Elsa and the others weren't there this time as they usually were.
'They must have gone to the roof.' He concluded since he didn't see them in the cafeteria either. 'I blew it.' Elsa had sent him glares, blushes, and scowls all week. Today being Friday again, his hope was slowly fading away. She wouldn't look at him much; she slammed doors in his face, and she barely spoke a word. How was he going to apologize if she wasn't going to speak to him? Let alone look at him for long. He didn't understand. He didn't understand at all. The most he tried his best to do was keep a smile on his face. Whenever she did give him a look, he would always send her a smile. He had to. The only way to fight this negative was to remain positive, but he can slowly feel his confidence trickling away. Luckily his friends gave him hope. He, again, didn't want Elsa to dislike him for his mistake or anything that proved vile. He knew she saw him as a nuisance and maybe he did come off as annoying in her eyes. But he wouldn't give up.
'At least I'm not the only one in this predicament.' He thought as he slurped on his soda; with Naveen and Hiccup in mind. Those two have been at odds with their apologies too.. Normally Naveen wouldn't give two shits but since Tiana was his partner in one of his classes, he was trying to at least get along with her for the grade. She hadn't spoken to him much especially after another incident caused by Naveen. And Hiccup, Belle would shove him aside or turn away from him entirely. There were a couple of times she accidently dropped a large book on his foot; leaving him with swollen toes every time she did it. He knew it was her way of saying 'shove off'. If these girls knew how much they hurt them, would they care? All they were trying to do was apologize. If they didn't hold a delinquent record, would it be different?
"Of course she ignored you, Naveen! I'd ignore you too if I didn't know you very well and talked about how you saw her bra all week to everyone who cared!" said Anna as she rolled her eyes and slurped on water Ariel made. The others laughed as Naveen sent her a glare.
"Yeah? Well it's her fault for being a jerk when I apologized in class. And then went so far as to lock me in the closet during home ec with everyone looking for me for a whole hour! I was going crazing in there with her vines wrapped around me—keeping my mouth shut! She is evil! And then had the nerve to casually sit in class and pretend she innocently knew nothing! And then…and then…in the hall, she had me strapped to the ceiling in only my underwear! Taping my mouth shut with a paper over my face saying 'de-man me now!' How is this funny?"
Anna and Ariel laughed. The boys sent them looks. A girl would find that funny. The girls caught these looks and paused. "Aw, come on! That's what you get for saying you saw her bra to everyone in the school!"
"It wasn't everyone and I did!"
"Yes, but is that something you should have told everyone?! I mean, you even drew a picture and put it up everywhere saying she likes the color green!" emphasized Anna as she pulled the picture from out of her bag and held it up for them all to see. "Ah, remember this picture guys? Monday!"
"Hey, that was AFTER she locked me in the closet!"
The boys laughed not only because Naveen's drawing skills were terrible and it was a stick figure with a large green bra angrily dancing around with speech bubble saying 'I am Tiana! Fear my green bra and worship the 'tits'!'. Now this made the girls send them a look. A boy would find that funny.
"Why did you do that anyway Naveen?" asked Ariel as she nudged him to lighten up. "I admit it was clever since it caused her rank to fall under joke instead of scary. But that didn't last long since she, Elsa and their group threatened all to mention it again and they'll have their necks. No one wants to fight the conquerors, especially the ones whom are favored amongst the president and teachers. No…." Ariel shook her head. "We don't want to do that!"
"You know what?" Said Jack upon realization as they all turned to look at him. "That could be the reason Elsa won't forgive me! Thanks, Naveen!"
"Oh no! Don't blame me for that too!" frowned Naveen as he thought about it. "Maybe…"
"You could be right, Jack!" smiled Anna as put the picture away. "Elsa is big on friendship. You should have just left it alone Naveen. Try apologizing again."
"Yeah, after what I did, you think an apology will work? I've tried telling her it was a joke and not only received the silent treatment but torture as well."
"As long as you don't do it again. You should be fine." Said Kristoff with a knowing look.
"Whatever…"
Hiccup came and slammed his bag on the table as he roughly placed down his tray and sat down. They all looked over to him and paused in their places. Jack's brow furrowed deeply as he scowled at Hiccup's face. The other's followed suit with deep frowns furrowing all of their faces. Anna slowly moved to gently touch the angry bruise on Hiccup's jaw line. His hair was scuffed, his lip split, and Toothless was nowhere in sight.
"Who did it?" was the only thing Jack had to say for Hiccup's eyes to involuntarily roam in the direction of the perpetrators. All eyes followed and their scowls intensified.
There, on the other side of the courtyard, sat the enemy gang. Their enemy gang to be exact. These characters were both flunkies and sorry ass followers of the times. Pure suck ups and ass kissers. Although, they only did what they felt required to get their way without too much notice. Their infective spread brought the worst out of almost everyone they targeted. Including them. No….especially them. They hated these guys. A couple of them were worshippers of the evil as the few others worshipped and strived for ultimate power. Too bad they seemed too stupid for it since their rank fell into the B-classed. They admired a few of the S-classed students. Particularly Belle. Because of this, they now knew why they ended up attacking Hiccup. They could tell Hiccup didn't leave without a few marks and bruises left behind on a few of them. Toothless's teeth prints were very visible on the arm of Adam the beast as their healer in the group, Alice, hovered her hand over it in a red tint.
"What happened to Toothless?" asked Jack as he and the others moved to get up, their gazes never fell from their targets.
"After he bit Adam, I un-summoned him to my room since Cortez aimed to kill him and I didn't want the fight to go any further." Slouched Hiccup before he too, got up after his friends once Anna moved away to follow. Their targets could obviously sense hostility towards them since they all turned to look as they approached with shared contemp.
"Aw, Hiccup. Went to tell your friends?" smiled Adam sarcastically. He, like Naveen was a shapeshifter. Next to him sat Megara, she was known for being a siren. A scream so powerful it can make everything around her bleed. Alice was on the other side of him, she had the ability to heal and turn into a giant or certain parts of her limbs. Across from them sat Jafar, he was known for sorcery. A power similar to Miss Maleficent. Next to him was Gaston, his power was of smokes and gases and like Adam he had the biggest thing for Belle. Besides him, sat Cortez a grand weaponist like Hans, with an obsession with weapons only literally since it was all he talked about. Their last member was the darkest, Hades. His hair was of blue flames with skin as gray as stone. His power was of black water and blue fire.
"You want me to punch your face in Adam?" sneered Jack with arms crossed. The group at the table laughed and all got up as they sensed a fight coming on and stood eye to eye to the 'Losers'.
"Are you threatening me?" leered Adam as Anna scoffed.
"We'll be doing more than threatening very soon, you ass!" Anna balled her fists when the group laughed. Naveen rolled up his sleeves as Kristoff cracked his knuckles; he whispered to Sven to leave and the little reindeer nodded as he disappeared from his shoulder.
"Well maybe you should tell your little dragon friend to keep his hands to himself. No one touches my girl!" darkly spoke Gaston with an agreement from Adam.
"Last, I checked, she doesn't give two shits about you!" shouted Hiccup.
"So, what?! She will in due time!" chuckled Gaston, "And you won't be having her anyway, being a loser and all…"Smoke as dark as night eased its way from Gaston's parted lips as he smirked with intent. His eyes pointed in a smug manner; as though daring his enemies to goad him when his friends laughed. Jack narrowed his eyes and the others could feel their fingers tickling in anticipation.
"A fitting power for someone named…GASton!" smirked Ariel at what she was implying. Gaston scowled at her as her group now laughed with their enemy now frowning.
"Look, bitch—."
"Hey!" glared Jack as all glares quickly formed together. "You don't call any of my girls' bitches."
Gaston, Adam and their group sneered. He knew he struck a nerve. "Well, then your bitches should keep their mouth shut!"
It didn't take much for Jack to ball his fist and land it clean across Gaston's face. A loud crack could be heard before the others joined in. Naveen shifted into a Siberian wolf as Adam shifted into a brown one. Their teeth clashed at each other before Naveen jumped onto his back to snip at his neck; eliciting a whine from Adam's throat. Jack tackled Gaston as Alice grabbed Ariel by her hair, Ariel moved to knee her in the stomach as the girl groaned to release her hair and then grew her arm to a larger size to smack Ariel across the yard as she ran to follow. Sherman simply used his time control to freeze both Hades and Jafar since they would be the worst out of the others and felt he should concentrate his attention on them as the others fought. Kristoff and Anna dealt with Megara as the girl spit sound from her lips the hit Kristoff in his chest; pushing him back as Anna formed tiny balls of flames she threw at Megara that the girl dodged but failed to realized they'd explode for when they did, she gasped as Anna laughed.
"Got you!"
Megara growled and blew sound around her to stop the flames as this made Anna gasp. "Yeah, I just learned that!" And then spit more sound to Anna, which blew the girl into the air; landing her onto the hard cement ground where she coughed for the air was knocked out of her lungs. Hiccup and Cortez settled for a fist brawl since he didn't want to summon his dragons against Cortez, he was afraid they'd be hurt by his weapons far more than if it was someone else. Jack formed ice between his fingers as it spread to incase his arm when his fist slammed across Gaston's face again as Gaston took it before grabbing his arm and blowing smoke into Jack's eyes. He backed away with arms wailing since he was trying his best to see. A kicked to his back and face flew him out of the smoke screen as he hit the ground with a roll before he flipped and landed on his feet.
"Weak, Frost, weak!" grinned Gaston as Jack spat and ran to him again.
From a distance, Elsa and the others could see this quarrel from the rooftop where they decided to have their lunch from now on to keep from more trouble. And was very glad they decided to since yet another, fight was going on. And who was the cause of it?! The Losers, of course. At least, from their perspective. Rapunzel and Flynn sat across from each other on a blanket playing a hand held game as Eric stuffed his face with Hans sending him disgusted looks. Elsa was just finishing her meal and looked over to where her other friends were looking at by the ledge.
"Wow, are they ever not in trouble?" said Tiana as she shook her head while resting her arms over the edge of the roof. Belle sat on the ledge with Violet as the girls looked on in repulsion.
"They will never learn." Calmly stated Belle watching as the fighters now switched up whom they were fighting to begin with, turning it into a battle royale and far more chaotic than it was the first time. Only Sherman never released Hades and Jafar. He knew not to.
"I'm glad we're not down there." Said Violet.
"Who?" asked Elsa as she walked over to stand by Tiana; placing her hands on the ledge. She looked down to the courtyard and her eyes widened when she saw her sister being thrown into the air by an unseen force that came from the mouth of Megara the siren. Her piercing scream hurt the ears of those around them and was soon shut up by the explosion that went off on her rear for Anna had planted something on her before she went flying. Jack was seen catching her mid-air as he held her by the waist before landing swiftly on one of the tables. The two parted ways when three spears flew in their direction; following them as they ran off, Jack turned first and placed up a ice shield that shattered the contact of the spears as they fell to the ground. Anna wasn't so fortunate for one slammed into her shoulder as she hissed, stumbling over to catch herself from falling onto her face.
Elsa silently gasped with the sudden urge to jump from the ledge to help her sister however before Elsa could move, a hand gripped her forearm. She snapped her head to attention and looked into the eyes of Hans. "Its okay, Elsa. She's a big girl. She'll be fine." He was correct since Anna pulled the spear from her, set it aflame, and sent it back to its owner. The thrown weapon hit the arm of the wielder Cortez and he growled in pain as ice flurries encased him to a shiver when he fell to his knees. Jack then went to Anna and asked if she was okay. She nodded and shrugged, telling him there was nothing to it. This made Elsa smile, he was right and she felt she should have known that. She knew if anything truly went wrong, they'd help her too if it called for it.
"I should have known since this is a routine for her. I just wish they didn't fight like they wanted to kill each other." Smiled Elsa as Hans agreed stating.."It's power fighting. I think it's only natural for us to be rougher than the norms.", watching as Ariel formed a large wave that tidaled over the courtyard as all eyes widened.
"Ariel wait!" said Kristoff but the girl was too upset to care as she pushed it down with the wave of her hand. Students uninvolved ran into the building as others moved as far away as possible. Elsa couldn't keep a straight face and neither could her friends since they all laughed when the wave made contact with a loud splash. The force separated Jack from Cortez and sent him into the wall with his back cracking it in a few places unfelt by him due to adrenaline as Anna nearly drowned by the pressure as she swam to the surface only to feel herself being let down as the water slowly dispersed. Kristoff and Naveen both coughed from the water getting into their lungs as Hiccup released the collar of Adam to cough while Sherman released his power hold on Jafar and Hades as he went to Ariel for she collapsed from overexertion.
"What were you doing?" he asked as he wrapped her arm around his shoulder to help her walk. "I don't know, I was pissed. Alice threw something at me and it made me react…I don't know…"
"The bitch needed casing. But it seems we used the wrong stuff!" smirked Gaston as he stood on the table next to Alice with her arms crossed both soaking wet like everyone else there.
Sherman glared at him and from afar Jack over heard them and scowled. He rested his back against the broken wall and put out his hand as ice spilled from his fingers before flurries blew through the air to Gaston and Alice. Before they could react, cold ice made the water on them freeze as they both fell back and wrapped their arms around themselves in a shiver.
"Cold….holy shit…its cold." Gritted Gaston as Alice's teeth chattered. Jafar and their group caught this but before reacting, they felt it too and wrapped their arms around themselves. Even someone like Hades couldn't overcome the cold of Jack Frost.
"Damn you, Frost!" spat Adam. Naveen lay on the ground tired, as he laughed. Kristoff shook his head as he went to Anna, whom was holding her arm when she stood up.
"HA! We win assholes!"
"That's enough!"
The fight was soon stopped when a loud roar broke the feel of the air. Everyone, including the conquerors, stood at attention when a red darkness loomed the air for large wings bellowed in full spread when the vice president Abigail Hardscrabble landed in front of the courtyard on the hilled grass. Her head held in boldness with a severing glare that made all students swallow their pride and find solace in their fear. The dark red dragon-like monster with millipede-like legs and red bat wings narrowed her eyes at the two groups involved in this feud. It upset her to see these students fighting over nothing and to see the same group that was spoken to by Miss Maleficent just a week ago only for them to be in trouble again. She then sighed and shook her head at this. These students were very gifted and yet they fought each other with these gifts. It upset her and she didn't want this to go on any longer.
Although, she did understand that Jack and his friends never truly ended up in a fight without cause. As many times before, someone picked at them. And she knew exactly who they were. But she had rules to follow. They would be punished.
"Mr. Frost! I take it you and your friends forgot what was said to you by Miss Maleficent?" she raised her brow as Jack panted, leaning against the building wall, dispersing his ice as his friends all at once moved to stand by him so they could stand together on this.
"Miss Hardscrabble—." Hiccup started and received a very hard glower from the woman.
"I asked nothing of you Mr. Haddock! I spoke with Mr. Frost!"
"Yes!" panted Jack, he had to catch his breath and control the pain in his chest. "Yes! I remember."
"Good! Then you know the consequences?!"
"Yes, but please don't involve—."
"I didn't ask you that!? You and your friends leave my sight now and I will deal with you later!" That was their cue as they all moved to leave the courtyard.
Elsa watched from the roof with a small frown. It wasn't really their fault. The other group started it and Anna and her friends reacted. She wasn't going to let her sister get kicked out over standing up for her friends. "Miss Hardscrabble!"
The vice president looked up to Elsa as her friends looked to her in question. "It was no fault of theirs! It was Adam, Gaston, Megara, Alice and their friends that started all of this! I feel that Anna and Jack are being wrongly accused for protecting themselves and their friends!"
The Miss Hardscrabble thought about this, since she had respect for her higher classed students and sent glares to Adam and his group. "Understood, Miss Arendelle! I'll see to it the consequences befall their actions instead. Thank you for your observation!"
"Yes!" Elsa politely nodded and could feel the heated glares from Gaston, Jafar and the others as the vice president called for them follow her into the school. She sent them a satisfied smirk and mouthed the words…'Don't mess with my sister..' and Megara flipped her off. This only served to make Elsa happier as she smiled back. Hans and Tiana laughed at this as Eric shrugged turning back to his meal with Belle and Violet getting off of the ledge and preparing to pack up for their next class. Rapunzel and Flynn were engulfed in their video game to even realize what was going on around them to care.
"Babe, jump! Jump!" cried Rapunzel as Flynn made a face into his game.
"I did jump! He still killed me!" slammed the game down, agitated as he moved to pack up his things since the bell rung.
"You didn't jump high enough!" said Rapunzel as she moved to give him a quick kiss, causing him to turn red after she moved to get their things. Flynn looked over at the others staring at them with smiles.
"Babe!" teased Elsa. This made Flynn's back straighten. Rapunzel grinned. "To class everyone!"
After the fight from earlier, Jack and the gang received no lecture since they explained how it was provoked in the first place as the vice president took care of their enemies for the day. They soon got over it since they got their fair share of hits in and again met up with the infirmary, nothing new. Here they sat in study hall doing work they missed and other work assignments.
Jack imagined Elsa with dreamy eyes as he thought up more ways to talk to her. He went over the events of the week when he did try. And was trying to figure out an error he may have made when approaching her. She was still upset, he already knew. But figuring out how to get her to forgive him was still bugging him.
His first attempt at talking to her was in the halls. She was heading to the president's office for her work as usual and he stopped in front of her with a bright smile to say 'Hello' only for her to blush and frown as she swiftly side-stepped him without care.
His second attempt at trying to apologize was in Mr. Sandman's Psychology class where he sat down next to her with a kind smile before she looked at him beet red and quickly got up to sit in the back of the class to keep away from him. A tad upset the entire time as her heated stare burned his back because he was seated where she wanted to be seated but didn't want to be near him, he guessed.
His third attempt was during gym. Since Mr. North was to be there once a week(they had gym three times a week; Mon, Wed, and Fri) he found himself sitting next to her in every class. At least, the times where her group wasn't surrounding her. As he apologized, she would always say, he's bothering her, or she's concentrating, or leave me be, Frost. He could tell by then that she was growing tired of him but he still kept his smile and grins in hopes she'll give in at some point.
Now, his fourth attempt ended in him being tripped by Hans during lunch because Elsa didn't want to be bothered and he knew Hans was only protecting her since he took notice that Jack had been following her all week. Not just Hans, Eric had encased his feet into the floor, and a time when Violet put up her shield around Elsa to keep his voice from bothering her over and over. None of this offended him; it only made him strive harder.
Only during his fifth attempt did he realize he had to come up with a better way to apologize. A way for her to take notice of him in a sense she would find interest. And the main thing that came to mind was…
"Competition. Elsa likes Competition! I'll play her in Powerball! A game where she is undefeated!" his friends looked up from their class work to see Jack grinning with shined sapphire eyes when this revelation occurred to him. Naveen looked confused as Hiccup's brow furrowed in question. The others shook their head for they already understood what he was talking about and went back to their work. Luckily he didn't say this too loud because Elsa and her group were seated a few ways away on the second floor of the library next to the railing that squared around the lower part of the library. Their library had five floors filled with several amounts of bookshelves and magazines. Beautifully made portraits and artworks around. The losers normally sat at the bottom floor in the middle while others scattered about each floor. They preferred to be closer to the middle since it made easy to know which section was which from where they were. It was harder the higher you went up and the librarian sat in front. So it just made more sense to them.
"I'm going to go talk to her." Whispered Jack as his friends watched him get up from his seat and walk off.
"Wait Jack, you don't know what she'll say!" whispered Hiccup, only loud enough for Jack to hear him as the silver haired male made his way to one of the many spiraling stairs that placed in all four corners of the large room. Jack gave him a brief look and a reassuring wink while he climbed those stairs carefully and quietly. Naveen shook his head and got up to follow.
"You're going too?!" asked Hiccup watching Naveen walk away.
"Well, yes. We should at least back him if anything goes wrong." Smirked Naveen as Hiccup soon sighed, following suit. 'Man, if I didn't care about these guys…'
"Be careful boys! You know my sister!" smiled Anna without looking up from her worksheet. Ariel gave Sherman a tap and he looked to her from his book. "You should follow them." She mouthed without making a sound. Sherman sighed and nodded and quietly got up to follow.
"At least, now we know things won't get out of hand." Smiled Kristoff as the girls nodded their agreement. "Yup."
Jack walked past several bookshelves once he made it to the second floor. He looked around quickly for Elsa or anyone a part of her group. He, at first, thought it would be simple since they were seated next to the railing but once he came to the floor; he soon realized it was much bigger than he thought as he walked through the wide area filled with countless strips of bookshelves. He paused at one row of bookshelves since he spotted Hans, only to see the male was getting hit on by some random girl and he shook his head to continue on when he didn't see her. A few lines down and he spotted Eric doing weird moves as he listened to music on his headphones(he wasn't supposed to have) Jack noted. He briefly wondered how he managed to get in here with it. The librarian was strict. He then shook his head again and walked a few ways more past at least ten more rows of bookshelves before he paused once a flash of platinum blonde shimmered in the corner of his eye.
'There.' He thought as he made a beeline to Elsa's table.
"Hey, Elsa—."
"Go away Frost. You have been pestering me all week and bringing trouble with you everywhere you go." Interrupted Elsa as she continued to scratch her ballpoint pen neatly across her paper; not giving him so much as a sideways glance. Jack smiled at this, at least she noticed. But he ignored her request and continued on.
"I have a proposition for you!" declared Jack as he crossed his arms to defy her; keeping his ground. Elsa didn't look up or answer however she could feel a vein pulsating in the corner of her forehead as the curve of her glossed lip twitched. She could sense he was challenging her but she tried her best to pay it no mind. If he continued on, she'd leap at him. Jack knew what he was doing and he loved it. "I challenge you to a game! To be specific, I challenge you to a game of Powerball!"
Now this sparked her interest as Elsa paused in her writing, looked up from her essay, and placed down her pen. She sized him up quickly as she crossed her legs and sat back in her chair, laying her arms on the armrest, and placing her palm under her chin to listen with a heaved brow. "Go on….."
'Oh no..' thought Tiana as she rolled her eyes. Belle snorted as Violet sighed and Rapunzel sent Flynn a half-grin while he smirked into his workbook. Now this should be entertaining.
Jack couldn't keep the smile from his face as he chuckled; this girl enticed him in more ways than one. The very sight of her right now was enough to allure him. He had to keep his hands to himself. He then swallowed and shook off the sweat. "I challenge you to this game, Powerball, so you'd believe me!"
"Believe you?" Now this confused her. Believed what? And then she blinked when it dawned upon her. "You mean when you apologized?!"
So she did notice!
"Yes! And not just me. My friends here too! Right guys?!" Jack emphasized his head towards his hidden comrades that hid behind the bookshelves. Elsa looked and they stilled in their places before slowly stepping out from where they were hiding. Naveen looked away with a whistle as Hiccup laughed nervously. They obviously had to work on their eavesdropping skills. Jack waved for them to come closer and they did; careful as to not look the other girls in the eye when they looked up from their studies with certain looks before going back to their work; ignoring them for Elsa to handle it.
"So you believe a game will help for us to forgive you? Why do you care so much anyway?" Elsa looked suspiciously to Jack. 'What is he planning? Is he trying to use us in some way? I don't understand this, most people wouldn't care what we thought of them and would simply stay out of our way but Jack and his friends seem persistent in trying to get us to forgive their mistake…..Why?'
Jack looked taken aback for a moment. He didn't think she'd ask him this. He knew he couldn't tell her the real reason why he wanted her to forgive him but he didn't think he'd have to come up with something. He didn't plan that far ahead, he assumed she'd agree and leave it at that for him to prepare for later. He should have thought ahead.
"A truce is all." He feebly came up with a slightly nervous rub to his neck since the question hit close to home. Elsa didn't buy it.
"A truce, Frost? I don't recall us having many qualms." She said suspiciously. Now she was very interested in Jack's proposal.
"I mean a battle!" Jack picked up quickly in fear of looking weak in front of her now with a new found determination. It seemed to work since she was now thoroughly interested. "I want to battle you in Powerball. And if I win, you have to forgive me and believe when I say I want us to be….okay…." He wanted to say friend...but it wouldn't spill off his lips with the way she was looking at him.
"You want us to be…okay? As in to say you want me to forgive you and believe you when you have apologized so frequently as I brush you off my shoulder as though you are nothing?" her friends chuckled at this. She was making fun of him and Naveen and Hiccup faintly frowned. Jack on the other understood and it didn't faze him one bit. In any case…visibly.
Okay, he didn't think she actually saw him as nothing. Maybe a lot of it had to do with his record. He will have to fix that if he wanted her to see him on equal ground. "Yes, I don't want for you to think I purposely tried to…embarrass you. I didn't mean to…..violate you." He didn't know how to place without both of them turning blood rushed red from the memory. This happened anyway as Elsa coughed lightly to ease the nerve.
"You do realize I am undefeated in Powerball. Your proposal would be in vain." Elsa predicted with her head held high with raised brows. She was very confident in this and Jack couldn't help but to admire her confidence even as she was knocking him down before him and their friends. This would have served to upset anyone, even his friends as their eyes narrowed to what she was implying. In fact, they felt she was pushing it with the insult she was openly entailing. Her friends giggled lowly. They knew what Elsa was doing and enjoyed it.
"Yes, to prove our apologies, in fact…." Jack wrapped his arms around both Hiccup's and Naveen's shoulders, pulling them close. They looked to him in question. What was he doing? "..Tiana and Belle have to forgive my two buddies here too! They will also have to play!"
Tiana looked up from her work as Belle looked up from her book. Both girls blinked in shock. Including both Naveen and Hiccup as Elsa raised a delicate brow higher than before at this. "Oh really? What of Violet. She was wet from the ball that landed on Tiana. What about her? She never received constant apologies."
"I'll play." came Sherman as the girls looked to him for he appeared from behind another bookshelf. His eyes roamed to Violet and he winked. The timid girl blushed and raised her book to her face to keep him from seeing. He chuckled. 'That's cute.'
Rapunzel and Flynn looked at each other and then looked back at the scene. They both thought of the same thing. 'I'll be recording this!'
"See, Sherman will play for it! How 'bout it?!" smirked Jack. Sherman was definitely an advantage and he could tell Elsa was thinking this as she blinked when she looked over to Sherman.
"He's a time manipulator." Elsa said slowly and unsure with her brow furrowed upon calculating this.
"Yes…." Jack gave a smug shrug with a mischievous half-smirk. "…and…?"
'Oh he wants to play dirty!' thought Elsa as he gave him a brief scowl that Jack enjoyed seeing. He could tell he was getting to her since she closed her eyes and was now…chuckling.
"Then it's agreed..." Elsa stood up from her seat to eye Jack; staring at him in a way that made the silver-haired male blush as she crossed her arms with a wide smirk. Jack knew that look and so did her friends. She was treating him the same way she did all others that dare challenge her. And this only managed to excite Jack as he soon smiled, released his friend's shoulders, and stepped forward to her; accepting her challenge head on.
"…I challenge you to Powerball!"
Jack narrowed his eyes to match her smirk.
"Game on."
