Mandy does not lose any courage to continue the fight, she walk towards the stadium and stand tall in the ring. She was not not expecting there so many creature who was going to watch their match, the whole stadium was occupied.
In front of her another door opened, there it came out her opponent Leah. She was grinning widely and was raising her hand to elevate the cheer of the crowd, which did happen.
"Don't be too hard on her Leah"
"Take it slowly, to teach her"
"Just finish her already"
Shouts of the crowd which favors Leah, from hearing it Mandy knew how they thought of her as a weak opponent against Leah. They thought she does not have a chance against her, since Mandy was a newbie in the school who does not know her place.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the contenders are now in the ring. The rules of this duel has already been settled. One should be defeated by losing consciousness for a long time or who will say surrender will be the loser. The winning opponent will have her reward according to what they agreed. Let's not take this too long, let the fight BEGIN!"
The crowd also shout and cheer. The two contestant hasn't move yet.
"Well, well, you still want to fight? You know already you can't win over me"
"Let's see about that, just start it"
"You wish for it, you'll regret it till the end"
Leah leap higher, back flipping and use her heel aiming towards Mandy. Mandy immediately avoid the attack, as she look back the floor where she stand earlier got a huge hole from the impact of Leah's heel.
"Lucky you avoided it, but there's no next time."
Leah thought on ending it earlier, but she still want to know what Mandy could really do. She was very eager to know her capabilities, after she saw what Mandy did in the Illo tree on the labyrinth she got curious in her.
Mandy can't still have her move since Leah didn't stop in her attacks. It was continous that she hardly came up with a counterattack, she can only avoid it.
"What's the matter? Already out of ideas? You still haven't shown your move."
Mandy was frustrated when Leah was saying it, she knows she was just provoking her but it still frustrate her that she can't have a damage on Leah.
In observing Leah's movement and attack, it was all the same. All are just physical attack, she has not yet shown her true power. But, Mandy thought its a good thing, 'cos she can now have a counter attack by reading her movement.
Until she got an opportunity, she moved swiftly and ready her hardened hand. From the continuous attack made by Leah, she lost track on defending from Mandy's punch which hit hard in her face. After Mandy land her punch, she moved away as far as she can.
Mandy was about to smirk, when she realized Leah was unmoved from her punch. She gave all her might to that punch but it was still not enough.
"Is that all you've got?" she have her evil smile plastered all over her face. "You're just wasting my time, I expect too much from you for nothing"
Her face changed, slowly becoming a reptilic creature, with thick scale, her eyes turned golden yellow and a line of black, she grew a tail. Like she resembles a red dragon. She even have a wings, which she slowly flaps.
"This might help you show the real you" she suddenly vanished, which left a strong gust of wind. Mandy turned around, but she was suddenly lifted through the air. It was too fast for her to struggle to breakfree.
They were both high up on the sky, when Leah let go of Mandy. Mandy hold her breath as she was falling, she was trying to focus her mind. She needs her wings now, but she must use it wisely since the pressure of the air of her fall was strong. Her wings slowly grow at her back, while she steady her hand straight which her wings followed. She was almost near the ground, that's when she glide upward, as she reached the highest peak she spread her wings and flew through the air.
"Not bad, but I'm still not impressed." Leah was too fast that she immediately come in contact with Mandy's back. She was holding both of Mandy's wings, Mandy lost her balance and was hanging and feeling the pain from Leah's grip on her wings.
"How's this possible it fits your back? I've never seen anything like this in my whole life. Feathers? How come you have feathers? Are you a family of bird?" After she examine it, she let go of her. Mandy hit the ground, which broke some of her bones, as well as her wings which retracted back again.
Mandy tried to stand on her own, even if she feels pain all over her body. She could hardly keep herself up, from her broken leg.
"Look at you, you still want to fight even if your body was giving up?" she land in the ground and was coming nearer to Mandy, while Mandy backed away.
"Woah, are you scared now?"
Mandy just want to rest for awhile, she was too exhusted from the continuous attack. She admit that she can never win from the state she have now, but if she give up already she will be a slave for the rest of her life.
"You just have to say you surrender, and this things will end"
"In your dreams, even if I die here I would never be a slave for you"
"You little nut head, if that's what you wish. I will give you hell before you die slowly."
Leah heave deeply in a while, and as she open her mouth a stream of fire came out hitting Mandy's direction. The fire was too huge that even Mandy could still move, it would still hit her.
Mandy closes her eyes, as she accepted her fate. She chose to fight Leah, even if she still have no experience in fighting them. She was disapointed in herself, if she just ignore their invitation these would not happen. She now regret her life ends without enjoying the place she might belong. She expected the place would welcome her but she isn't.
Mandy was slowly eat by the fire ball, she felt the heat from it. She was now kneeling and agonizing the burning of her skin. This might really her end...
