Chapter Nine: Ready For Battle!
Frost's POV
This is odd. I'm back in my male form somehow... Don't tell me... I sighed, blinking as I stared up at the high, white ceiling lazily and drowsily, blankly thinking of what was going on. I could feel a warm blanket placed on top of me as my head rested on an extremely comfortable pillow. I blinked again.
"What's going on?", I whispered to myself out of confusion.
"Who knows", a female voice that sounded extremely familiar said from my right in an innocent tone of voice, causing me to jump slightly and immediately snap to my right, seeing a girl with SILVER hair sitting on a wooden bench beside the white bed. "You've been knocked out for eight weeks straight", she said, making my eyes widen suddenly as I digested those words like soup... Eight weeks?!
Instantly, I shot up, my whole body as awake as an erupting volcano as I stared at her with shock and fear written all over my soft, smooth face. Impossible... Eight fucking weeks I've been asleep?! I didn't even have a single dream! "Eight weeks!", I said in pure, utter shock.
"I know... And it's just the two of us in this world right now... White killed herself for your sake", she said sadly, gritting her white teeth lightly as I too, grit mine in anger... Who... Why White?! I... I mean... Argh!
"Who did?!", I exclaimed, clenching my fists into balls of hurt as the bed squeaked in agony and fear. "Who killed White?!", I demanded. My heart ached painfully and it throbbed extremely slowly as I took this all in as hard as a boulder strapped with dynamites crushing me and exploding point blank in my face.
"We don't know... But she told me to tell you her confessions if she died", Star said as a tear trickled down her right eye whilst she kept a small smile. Her amazing silver eyes locked me in an everlasting trance that seemed to calm my soul... After all, she IS Light Heart AND a Maiden...
"Please", I said simply, holding back my urges to cry... Since when did I have these feelings for White... It's not because she's practically Mindy in a different body but... Argh! I have to stop thinking like this!
"She... She...", Star sobbed and sniffed before continuing. "She said that you were the one... The one who understood her and the one who she lo-".
"DON'T TALK ON MY BEHALF YOU PERVERTED MAIDEN!", A familiar voice YELLED from the light blue door to the right as it exploded open, slamming the wall with so much mass and force that it made the entire building tremble. My ears strained and screamed at me in agony as everything became muffled for a good three seconds before coming back to me like a bullet to the heart... My eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat to who it was... White!
"You came back to life?", Star asked innocently, widening her smile slightly as White stormed up to her furiously and with a silver knife in her right hand.
White's face was terribly red, looking embarrassed before she stopped in her tracks and glanced at me the slightest, broadening her eyes as she took a step back and flushed a more deeper shade of red... Eh?
"See Frost, White really, really li-". A blade stuck itself into the wall RIGHT next to Star's face to the left as her eyes widened in pure terror... "I mean, welcome back Frost", she re-corrected herself due to White's intimidating influence... Was I being played with?!
"A...anyway... Now that you're awake, you have to attend a game of Champion Chess Finale", White said, still a bright red like someone poured tomato sauce all over her face...
"Eh? Why?", I asked.
"No clue. But I'm certain that Coal set it up for us", White replied, turning back to her original colour... I see... Wait, I want to try something to White.
"Thanks White", I said and gave her a heart warming smile that immediately gave her a nose bleed... AHAHAHAHA! Dammit, if I laugh then White will slaughter me like an animal with her Moon's Rhythm! I turned red, gagging twice as I held in the mighty urge to just laugh at her reaction. Haha... But still, I now have a hint on how she feels about me...
"N...no problem Black...", she stuttered, looking away from me and now at Star with a terribly red face.
"You mean Frost", Star corrected.
"Huh? Isn't it Black?", White asked curiously.
"No, we call him Frost and his female form Black for separate identities", Star explained... Wait a second. What happened to me during that fight?... I remember getting stabbed and everything going black. A dark blue gun stuck inside of my stomach... And how that girl apologised to me like it was something unintentional. But didn't she want to kill me from the start? I mean... Argh!... Wait... Why's my chest still... And my hair... Was I tricked?! But... I'm wearing male clothing!
"Ahahaha! You just found out now?!", Star cried out laughing maniacally as I looked back at Star with a red, boiling face as tears of joy and happiness rolled down her white, soft cheeks. Argh... Impossible! I could've sworn that I was... Even for a second I was a male! I'm sure of it! One hundred and fifty percent sure!
"What?!", White exclaimed, staring at me in pure terror... She must've thought I was a male due to the clothes I'm wearing...
"Where's Frost?", I asked timidly.
"He's waiting outside...", White whispered in a very low tone... FUCKING STAR! NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY JACE KEEPS HIS DISTANCE FROM HER! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!
"Haha Black, I got you so good! Your face was priceless!", Star laughed... Oh that's fucking it!
"Why'd you have to hit me so hard", Star moaned from my right as we walked through a set of light blue double doors that were plastered against a winter white wall at the end of this light green painted, broad hallway.
They were left open for an odd reason, but I just let it slide off as I had a challenge to attend to. A game of Champion Chess Finale with my anonymous opponent. There's a chance that it could be Blue but I'm not putting the stakes on that. It must be another colour... Champion Chess... If I remember correctly, it's a strange game of different pieces on a chess board... But finale? I have yet to find out what it is...
Wait. Where the hell are we? I looked around, seeing nothing but darkness as we walked on a white pathway to seemingly nowhere. Dead ahead, was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Even the ceiling was empty with the trembling, silent darkness that had me wondering if this was another trip to insanity... How strange have thing become...
"Black, White, both of you two will be in teams with one more person against me and two close friends of mine", Star whispered, still sounding like she was in pain fast the punch I gave to her head.
"What do you mean?", I asked, looking to my right to only see White as she looked back at me with a completely confused face... Eh? Where did Star go?
White's POV
Our teammate, was no other than Blue. The girl who nearly killed Black by 'accident' after trying so hard to lodge a bullet through her skull. She stood in in between me and Black, looking dead ahead in the everlasting darkness that surrounded us entirely like a box. I've played this game before and I know well on how it relies on strategic battles instead of bloodshed... Tho I've never won once. It's rules vary and are extremely competitive.
"Are you three ready!?", I heard Star say from within the depths of the darkness, making me grin warmly before giving my honest reply.
"Are ready as I'll ever be!".
Black's POV
We sat around a large, kingly table that had some strange, magical infestations inside of it. It's colour was a sandy yellow and on the surface, was a massive map of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I was to the left of both Blue, who was in the middle, and White. We sat on one side of the table, surrounded by complete, soul shuddering darkness as the Star's team sat on the other side of the table, smiling at us like they were completely confident about the conclusion of the game. Jace sat in the middle of them, having her long, pink hair tied up in a pony tail as her tight clothing really showed off her 'watermelons'.
Star sat to the left of her, grinning like she was an evil sorcerer whilst another girl with pink hair sat to the right of Jace. And that girl, is Pure Bloom, or her OTHER name, Pure Heart. She smiled at particularly me and had narrowed eyes, trying to pinch off ever little bit of detail about me through her light green, shiny eyes...
"Shall we go through the rules?", Jace asked in a formal manner, blinking once. I gave her a good, firm nod that made my long, silky smooth jet black hair bounce once from behind me, slapping my back softly. The seats we sat on felt as good as a bed and resembled a throne. It was made of wood and had a red cushion in the centre as the back frame had gold trimmings. "Well then. Let's get started. First off, it's a turn based game and there's no such thing as health bars as this is a simulation of real warfare. We'll be going clockwise and you'll be last to go Black. You choose a race for your men and women, then choose their role. You can have up to four maximum roles and races. Also, every turn you receive three strikes for special upgrades and abilities. You earn extra by capturing special points on the map. Like an oil refinery for example. You are able to move an entire race or role group people once per turn and most of all, you have to protect your queen. She can either be killed or captured. If killed, then you lose. But if captured, then whoever does so takes half of the player's people into their possession. Do you understand now?", She explained with glorious detail as I smiled vividly at her.
"Completely", I said.
"Alright then! Let's choose our troops then we'll start of with Star!", White exclaimed... This should be fun and entertaining... An oil refinery... haha! I think I know how I'm going to play!
"First! I want to make a bet with you Black!", Star quickly said from out of the blue, making me look right at her with my light blue and light red eyes in mystery and wonder... A bet, huh? I wonder what she's planning to do...
"What's the catch?", I asked curiously.
"No catch. Just a fair deal. If you win, then we'll make your abilities, physical and mental, rise up a tenfold the painless way", She said, making me blink... My skills a tenfold? Is that possible? "But if WE win, then it'll be the painful way"... Eh? What does she mean the painful way and the painless way?...
"What do you mean?", I asked curiously...
"Something that Mindy did twice to you", She simply said... Mindy... Twice... Wait...
"Deal", I whispered without even THINKING as my eyes widened in pure terror... No!
"Haha! Let's get this game on the road!"...
