THE ACADEMY
26TH OCTOBER 10 NEW UNIVERSE ERA
MAX
Mike was itching for a fight, so was Lily and so was I. Everyone here might think Mike was just responding to a provocation, but I knew better than that, and so did Lily. Sometimes it's really weird how in sync all three of us are, and Lily only just joined us recently. Mike has been training his druid abilities and his soul beasts for days now, so much so that he has even created his first skill, and be was itching to test it out. So this was not a fight between children, for Mike this was a test drive.
There were a lot of tensions currently rising, and I knew if no one brought this to an end fast enough, we're all going to start tearing ourselves apart. But that was just wishful thinking on my part, this wad a war school, and fights was probably something that they very much wanted to teach us, so let's go ahead and fight.
*BANG!*
Grolix did not even have time to react when a small pale fist slammed into the side of his face and sent him flying straight into the lake. That was all we needed to truly set it off, and so it began.
I felt the beasts within me clamoring for a release; they desperately wanted to be a part of this battle, urging me to let loose my bestial instincts. But in a place with this much young people, and without an adult in sight, I could kill someone, or end up getting killed in their attempts to stop me. So for now, I'll just focus on planting my fists in as many faces as I could. no matter what, my claws must not come out.
With just a simple thought, I summoned Zeus and Hades from their dimensions, I felt the drain on my energy, but at the moment I didn't really care. I moved forward, the ghost wolf and the electric bird keeping pace with me. The first person we met turned out to be the unfortunate Raes who had just received a swift kick from Lily right to the area in between his legs.
Now I'm not really the kind of person who would kick an enemy once his down, but Raes was a jerk, which was why I didn't feel a single shred of remorse as I jumped over his hunched figure and made sure to bring right foot stomping down on his head and driving it into the lake shore with a splash. Zeus added a little exclamation to my strike by sending one of his electrified feathers straight into Raes's butt cheeks. As powerful as he was, being electrocuted was not something most people attributed to the element of water could resist. He was out like a light.
I ran towards Mike he was busy dodging wild swings from Grolix's massive axe, he had not summoned his soul beasts yet, and I knew it was because he wanted to keep his cards hidden for as long as possible. Plus at the moment Zion's attacks could not differentiate between friend and foe, and Stella was a secret we all chose to keep until we've found the vampire or body that the goddess Kali was inhabited.
Grolix released a wild swing that forced Mike backwards and on his back, it left him wild open for Mike's new skill, as a bolt of bluish black energy flew out of Mike's palm and slammed into Grolix's chest. There was no obvious damage, but his mind and soul were definitely in disarray, giving me enough time to put the finishing touches to this attack.
{LIGHTENING STRIDE} {SKY WOLF REND!}
Lightening covered my entire body as my speed was boosted by 300%; I moved towards the dazed Grolix and slashed my claws across his chest, easily shredding his silk shirt and the sturdy green skin underneath it. My claws weren't powerful enough to strip his skin down to the bone, but it was enough to carve a deep furrow into his chest, and send him flying back into the lake.
I know I said my claws couldn't come out, but it was hard to go against my instincts. I was a werewolf after all, and I might be fighting to keep the wolf in me caged but it still didn't change what or who I am. I turned my back towards Mike as he placed his on mine, and Lillian was not too far behind as we all stood back to back, Hades and Zeus standing and flying close to us, with Zion joining the fray and Lillian pointing her assault rifle at anyone who looked at us wrongly.
I think we've made the statement that we came here to make, that even though we were barely just half a war band, we could still kick their asses any day anytime. And now it's going to come back and bite us in the ass as it seems everyone else was now gunning for us. We might be tenacious and could hold our own against higher leveled opponents, but that didn't changed the fact that we were just a bunch of level 2s and one level 4 without the ability to use magic or any sort of energy skill like everyone else. were still targets.
"What are you guys waiting for, and invitation? Well then, COOOOME ON!" Lillian screamed at the crowd that had slowly surrounded us.
But she did more than just shout; a whole bunch of razor sharp needles flew into the air, completely under her control and straight into the crowd of fools in front of her. Why where they fools, well it's a well known fact that Lily had 3 Ts. She was a telepath, a telekinetic and a technopath. Basically a one man/ one woman army who had an intense love for guns and things that go boom!
But she wasn't the only one who made a move; Michael picked Zion up and did the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen him do. He threw the lion cub straight at the crowd of students that were in front of him, almost as if Zion was some sort of grenade, but when you think about it, and the subsequent scene that ensued in front of me; of students crouching on the ground, holding their heads in pain and screaming the lungs out, more than proves that Zion really was a bomb, a sound bomb.
"Zeus use (STATIC SHOCK) and follow it up with a barrage of (ELECTRIC FEATHERS). Hades (SCARE HOWL), (SHADOW REND) and (HARD BITE) give no quarter just don't kill anyone or take their limbs!"
*HOOOWWWLLLLLL* *TWEEEEEEEET*
The night seemed to light up in front of me as Zeus released a brilliant yellow glow, electricity dancing all over his body as dozens of his feathers rained down. A lot of the students had really good instincts and were able to properly defend against the feathers, but that was short live as Hades's (SCARE HOWL) followed a few seconds later and left most of them stiff and ripe for the picking.
Hades and I jumped into the fray, claws flying every which way. I used every inch of my body, making sure I was hitting them where it hurt the most and with the most damage as possible. My elbow and knees were beginning to feel sore, and I turned left just in time to receive a punch that almost took my head off my shoulders. Using the momentum of the punch I turned around and swung my right elbow backwards connecting with the skull of the person who just sucker punched me.
That move however left me open for a bone shattering kick from Grolix who was mostly recovered though still very much bloody. His kick threw me off my feet and sent my back crashing to the coarse white sand on the lake bank. My lungs were burning and my chest felt like it had just been hit by a sledge hammer. Grolix got me, but he didn't escape unscathed as Hades suddenly appeared out of a mist and took a very healthy chomp out of his still outstretched leg.
The very sight of that left a happy feeling in my stomach, so much that even in pain ridden state; I couldn't help the smug grin that was suddenly etched on my face. And also there was a lot of pride too, Hades had just learnt a new skill, and while that was a cause for a celebration it seemed the skill took a lot out of him, so he was busy swaying on his feet like some drunk, it was quite the comical sight.
But Grolix was not as amused as I was, in fact he was pretty much livid, and his anger was all over his face. He snarled in unrestrained rage as he pulled a massive war axe from his back and took a massive swing at Hades.
"Noooooo!"
The sound of my scream rang out across the entire lake, so much so that it sent ripples across its unsettled surface. That was enough to draw the attention of everyone to me, but it was not enough to stop Grolix from sinking one edge of his massive twin headed axe into Hades. My spirit beast didn't stand a chance, not in its confused state, and I felt his pain, and his anguish as life seemed to fade from him, and that seemed to hurt even more than watching and feeling him get hurt.
Pain, anger, and hopelessness filled me as I felt something within me break free, and I had no intention of stopping it, not with the intense pain and anger that I was feeling right now, a pain that made me want to scream, a pain that made....
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Before my eyes turned completely turned red I looked at Grolix and growled out with a voice so deep that I didn't even recognize it.
"You killed my Fucking Dog! Dieeeeee!"
