Sylvia's POV

I slapped the pass in Phil's face when we stepped into the lobby. I stepped back with a smirk, arms crossed over my chest. He stared down at it bewildered, "Hey, how'd you get this?"

My eyes narrowed at the suspicious look, "What? You think we forged it? Someone gave it to us!"

The look lingered for a moment before he sighed with a shrug, "Okay, sugar cakes. I believe you."

Sora grinned, "Can we enter the games now?"

After a moment Phil sighed, "Well... I guess so. We start with the preliminaries!"

The girls waited inside the lobby for the boys to finish. In the privacy between the walls, as much as we hoped for, we discussed battle strategies.

"So, what're we gonna call ourselves?" I asked after the discussion.

Hazel jumped to her feet, "Oooh! Oooh! I know! Hazel and the Hazelettes!"

I snorted, "Sylvia and the gang."

"Fabricators." Elena tossed out thoughtfully.

Kassy grinned, "I like that one!"

I pretended to reluctantly think of it. I crossed my arms over my chest with a dramatic sigh, "I guess..."

Hazel nodded enthusiastically, thrusting out her hand, palm down, "On three!"

I smirked, putting my hand on top of hers, followed by Elena's and then Kassy's. One, two, three, "Fabricators!" Just after a high five, Phil walked in, laughing, the boys in tow.

Phil wrote our aforementioned name on the roster.

Something caught my eye, "No fucking way. Sweet Jesus yes!"

Everyone hurried to the board to discover the cause of her joy.

"We get to fight Sora's group!" Hazel grinned, "Now I know what you mean."

"Yeah. That'll determine who fights the man named Cloud." Phil shrugged, "Fabricators ready?"

"As ready as we'll ever be." Chin up, I stared him down for a moment before smirking, leading my shaking companions into the arena.

Hazel stood on the left, large open book in hand. Elena stood to the right, swords in hand, each pointing to the ground on either side of her body. Kassy stood off Elena's right next to me, hands above the triggers of her guns, each pointing down on either side of her body. I stood to Hazel's right, holding my staff casually, a smirk on my lips.

Kassy glanced at each gun before looking over at Phil in the bleachers.

"Can I have non-lethal ammo to fight Sora's group and Cloud?" With a nod, she focused back on the battle.

The battles were a breeze. Finally we faced Sora, Donald, and Goofy. There was a short wish of good luck to and from everyone. Phil blew his whistle.

Goofy had been taken down. Donald was on his last legs. Sora was slowing down. Sora dove for Kassy. Unfortunately as I dove to take him down, Donald sent a jolt of lightning at me. It was such an intense pain that I fell to the ground on my stomach, staff sliding from my hand a few feet.

I attempted to get up on shaking limbs, only to be shot in the lower back by a burst of ice. I fell back to the ground. It wasn't until the pain subsided that I looked up to discover we had won.

I pushed myself up by my hands only to fall back down from shaking, "Wait, what the fuck? What the fuck happened? Why can't I fucking move my legs? Why can't I feel my legs?"

Everyone hurried over. I watched over my shoulder as Donald held his staff over my back. A bright green glow emitted from the area.

When he took the staff away, the glow dimmed to nothing, "There is a slight problem..."

My eyes narrowed, "What the fuck did you and Sora do to me?"

"The electric jolt would have given slight trauma to the body. It would have worn off after awhile with the lack of power I put through. However, when the ice came, it doubled the magic. There is a bit of trauma on your spinal cord. In other words: you're paralyzed. However!" His hands shot up immediately when I opened my mouth, "I have a spell that can heal it. Or you can let it wear off."

I huffed, looking away, "I don't need your help. I'll fucking wait."

I heard a slight whimper from Sora, "I-I'm really sorry I didn't think I could actually hurt you..."

"Quit your whining. I'm fine." I rolled my eyes at the kick to the head from Elena, "...Apology accepted. There happy?"

Elena rolled her eyes, before scooping me up by the waist, arm around her shoulders. Hazel popped up on my other side.

Kassy sighed as everyone sat on the bleachers, "So, we're down one member of the team. And Cloud's our next opponent."

Sora raised his hand, "Oh! I can help!"

I growled, lying on the bench, "Fuck no he's not taking my place. You guys go without help or forfeit."

Kassy put a hand on mine, "No, that's a good idea! Come on, Syvy!"

I shook my head, "Fuck! No!"

Phil snickered, "Sora, you're fighting with the girls against Cloud. Thanks for the idea Silver."

I can't even describe the sound out of my mouth. But the look of horror on Sora's face would keep me going in life.

It was that moment that a spiky blond strutted into the arena, an emotionless expression on his face. I snickered, feeling Elena squeezing my hands suddenly with a sudden intake of breath. The girl never stood a chance!

Elena's POV

I tapped Cloud's forehead with top of one of my swords, a nervous smile on my lips. The two girls were holding his arms down, Sora's arms around the blond's neck. His ocean blue eyes tilted up at me, their surfaced expression mirroring the sudden shock I felt. His black wing, which had been fluttering desperately in his futile attempts to escape, drooped, halting its movements. Both of us let out a small gasp. Cloud recovered first.

Growling, he lowered his head, his bang covering his eyes, "Alright. You win. Get off."

The girls tightened their grips, "Never!"

He growled once again, "Get off, you insufferable children!"

The girls giggled, although Sora had let go, allowing Cloud to shake the girls off. Jumping backwards, Cloud raised his sword to attack.

Kasandra pushed the girls and Sora, backwards, "Hit the deck!"

An enormous three-headed black canine jumped into the arena, sending a shockwave towards us, knocking everyone to the ground. It slammed its paw down onto Cloud. A sickening crunch echoed, followed by growling.

Kassy fell backwards. Sora scrambled to catch her before she hit the ground. She shakingly got up seconds later. I heard a scream of the blond's name from my lips.

A large muscular man shoved the beast away.

Phil shouted, "Herc!"

"Phil, get them out of here!" He shouted, throwing Cloud onto his shoulder.

"Hercules! Bring him to us!" I shouted.

Hazel, Sora and Kassy ran to bring Sylvia into the lobby. I followed Donald and Goofy to help Hercules set Cloud against the wall, before the man ran back into the arena.

Sylvia pushed away from the girls, swaying only slightly, "I'm good. I can feel my legs again."

Donald worked on healing Cloud. After a few moments, he spoke, "He'll wake up in a bit.

"Come on! We gotta go help Hercules!" Sylvia shouted, leading the group back into the arena.

"I got two words of advice for you: Attack!" Phil shouted before running to safety, Hercules on his tail.
