The next day, Aivenna, Nivenna, Lomma, Lyssta, Laarina, and Swassa reported for training at the Kiru City Barreks. Intress was there to supervise the training.
"Alright, I see that all of you were able to join us." said Intress. Aivenna noticed that Intress looked at her a little bit longer than the others when she said it.
Nivenna, Lyssta, and Swassa found it odd that Intress said that. In the Underworld if you didn't come when you were ordered to, then you would be severely punished even if you were only a second late. Of course they did not comment on it, that would just give them a much harsher punishment than not coming, if they were in the Underworld.
"The first thing we need to address is team work and in order to do that, we are going to play a little game." said Intress. Everybody had looks of confusion, what uncanny game is she talking about. " You will be splite into teams of two. Each team will work together to get this ball in that goal over there." Intress was holding a golden ball with a red ribbon, in on hand and pointing to what looked like a basketball hoop twenty feet high on the wall. " The team that wins will get a prize."
The Underworld ladies thought the whole thing was stupid and a waste of time. The three Overworld women thought it was going to be a complete disaster.
"Now for the teams," Aivenna just knows that Intress will put her in the same team with Nivenna. "first team, Laarina and Swassa; second team, Nivenna and Lomma; third team, Aivenna and Lyssta." said Intress. Aivenna was relieved that she was not with Nivenna.
"Any quastions?" asked Intress. Nobody said anything. "Good start!" Intress had thrown the ball up into the air. The ball was designd to fly in the air and to avoid any living creature that got close to it. All of them charged at the ball trying to catch it. Intress got up on the catwalk to get a better view.
Aivenna hit Swassa with a power pulse before she could get the ball. Now Aivenna was the closest to grabing it, but before she could, Laarina used vine snar to trip her.
On the catwalk, Intress was shacking her head in disappointment. None of the teams were working together. It was like every creature for herself. Another thing she noticed was that the Overworlders were hitting the Underworlders with more painful attacks than their fellow Overworlders. The same thing with the Underworlders was happening.
A few minutes into the game and already it was total chaos. At some piont in the game, everybody forgot that they were suppose to get the ball and just started to fight each other. Laarina was fighting Lyssrta, Aivenna and Lomma was fighting Swassa, and for some reason Nivenna was leaning against the wall watching the war scene.
Intress had enough, she jumped off the catwalk and was now ten feet away from Nivenna, who had her eyes shut and one hand under her chen.
"Is the game over now?" asked Nivenna.
"The game will be over when the ball gets in that goal!" Intress growled. Nivenna opened her eyes and looked around the room. Seeing that the ball was just floating in place, she ran towards it. The ball naturally began to move, but Nivenna used vine snar to real it in. Everybody was too busy fighting to notice that Nivenna had gotten the ball and was now running to the goal. She threw the ball into the goal, but only Intress saw it.
"The game is over!" shouted Intress. Everybody stopped fighting and looked at Intress.
"Who won?" asked Lomma.
"Nobody won. The only reason the game is over is because Nivenna got the ball in the goal, but since nobody was working as a team every one lost. Now the prize was that the winning team could get out of training early, but from the poor performance today, we will train longer." said Intress.
Everybody moaned at that, after all the fighting they did, they were too tired to continue with training, but they had to.
Awesome! I get the second chapter done. Just to lat you know, all the chapters will be under a 1,000 words and because of that the story could be more then 10 chapters.
