Seriously! After the hard tests we had gone through, I totally forgot about the real battleground, where we would fight each other.
The ground was big, in the middle of the room. The land had a water stream going on the side to make it feel like a real ground. Trees were also present in scarce number. It was chained with hard metal net from the side so that we couldn't escape and would die properly. It looked kind of a football turf expect for the fact that it had trees, river and scenery.
Lily and Xavier entered the ring. "Finally! Now I will fight a Darknorian. Now mind it, Xavier. I will avenge my defeat the last time we fought." She declared. Xavier smiled but did not respond. Trance had transformed into a spear.
The battle began and both the warriors fought with such bravery, it made me feel as a worm in front of them. The weapons clashed and Xavier's Trance changed forms in between. After a long ten minutes fight, Wade interrupted and told them to come out. The fight was announced as draw, which neither of the warriors appreciated.
Oliver and I fought too. I somehow managed to hold my foot against Oliver's speed when Wade announced a new match. "Now let's have a team battle. Oliver and Blaze vs. Lily and Xavier." I looked at Oliver, thankful of having at least one teammate for battle.
"To fight Raptor, you cannot attack separately. Fight together with great coordination." Wade stated. We nodded and began the battle. Xavier and Lily took different routes while Oliver and I ran straight. I couldn't do my slash-on-the-ground move as they weren't together. They had played it smart.
"No matter what, we need to stick together." Oliver ordered. Xavier aimed and threw his spear on Oliver. Trance/spear came rushing to Oliver but he dodged. Luckily, the spear just lied there. Xavier had played a risky move and paid for it. We didn't pick up Trance as it would only listen to Xavier. We now needed to protect it from being snatched back.
Lily rushed towards us and fought both of us together, bravely, with her Uniclaw. Before we knew it, Xavier had picked up Trance, which had transformed into a hammer and blew both of us. We went flying, defeated, and resurrected soon enough.
Wade clapped his hands for Lily's and Xavier's coordination. "That was a nice fight but you are still not close to a perfect coordination. We can stop for now. Tomorrow morning, we will continue practicing. We will meet here at 8:30 sharp. Good night warriors!" Wade announced walked away. We were confused. Was it already night time? Xavier had a watch. It showed 9:30!
We admitted the fact that while practicing, people forget about the time flying away. We chatted for some time and then went back to our respected rooms. Now here I was, lying on my luxurious bed. I still had a lot of stuffs to shift into my new room.
In a way, I felt bad and scared. The good times were now over. Now the real fight was beginning. But for now, I just needed a sleep.
