5 minutes before:
"Listen….Stephen…." Sky tried to walk up to Stephen as he kept walking away. Sky sped up and so did Stephen as they went in circles around the ring. The crowd was busy voting on the screens attached to the back of the seat in front of them.
*GRAB!*
"*HUFF, HUFF* Hear me out." Sky said, finally reaching Stephens and grabbing his shoulder. "Let's both just wing it okay? We don't have to go hard. I'll even let you win."
Stephen looked back at her with the same glare and scrunched up face that screamed, 'you're fucking dead to me.'
"Don't be like thaaaatttt!" Sky whined after him.
'DING!'
[ Votes: Rell: 567-Fang: 45-Torn: 802 -Havoc: 324-Point:784-Mylo: 684-Kim jisoo: 1,056-V: 1,208-Stephen: 2,951 ]
Stephens glared at her, squinting his eyes.
"Heheheh..he.." Sky scratched her head as Stephen contemplated her murder.
——————-
Present.
"Begin." W watched as he floated in his usual spot.
*BOOM!*
Right away Stephen attacked, sending a huge lightning bolt to where Sky was standing.
"DAMN!" Rowan exclaimed. "So he has lightning powers?"
"Yup." Vyen replied. "One of the best users of it as well."
They both watched as Sky dodged the attack.
'He's not going to make this easy for me is he?' She dodged more of his attacks.
Stephen appeared behind her with a fist of lightning, ready to swing. Sky Bent forward slamming her butt into Stephens stomach.
He flew back a little, giving her time to run away.
'This fight seems so one sided…' Rowan thought, and Vyen noticed.
"Do you know those two are the most shipped?" Vyen turned around. "The reason Stephen was voted to for this fight is because the people are hoping for some lovey dovey moments." Vyen wrapped his arms around his body. "'Stephen saves Sky before she falls!' Or 'Sky helps Stephen out of the ring as he is beat up!'" He said wiggling around.
*BONK*
Felix hit him over the head making him bite his tongue. Rowan looked back at the ring as Stephen chased around Sky with a sour look.
"How did this ship even become a thing?" Onyx spoke. "Stephen seems to hate her."
"Yeah but that's the point." Talis hovered over Rowan's head before he landed on it. "Enemies to lovers is pretty popular ya know."
*BOOM!*
Another thunderous roar was heard from the ring.
"DID HE GET HER?!"
The crowd started yelling and cheering as the smoke died down. It revealed sky in the middle holding Stephen by the waist as he bent back.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The crowd of course went wild.
"Ugh!" Stephen spat at sky as he made eye contact. She gave him a look that said, 'You know you can't win. Just play along.'
She then spun him out of her arms as he jumped back. After this moment Stephen seemed to have settled down with more tame attacks and giving the crowd what they wanted.
'Wow! So this is a professional fight!' Rowan saw that even their 'tame' attacks shook the ground and destroyed their surroundings.
"Why is she not using her power though?" Onyx asked.
"Yeah you're right. Stephen is using his lightning but what about her?" Rowan added.
"Actually," Vyen spoke up. "Sky doesn't have any powers. I mean would I really call it that?" He tilted his head. "AH! It-"
"It's not that she has no powers, it's that she has no Ahi!" Talis cut him off.
"What?" Onyx looks back down at the fight. As much as he knew everything and everyone in this world depended on Ahi. So, what about her?
Vyen grabbed Talis out of Rowan's hair with a tight grip and an evil smile.
"Heheheh…" Talis chuckled after stealing Vyen's thunder. Vyen quickly stepped to the door, threw him out and closed it after Loid followed.
"Anyways…" He walked back and focused on the match.
Stephen blasted a lightning wave towards sky and as she was trying to dodge, she slipped on a plant that was left behind by the previous fight.
*BUMB*
The attack missed her by a hair and she stayed down on the floor as Stephen walked to where she was. He now had the upper hand and Sky tapped out with a smile. She reached up her hand, giving Stephen another look.
*SMACK*
He aggressively smacked his hand onto hers and yanked her up. The crowd went wild for this-for them it was like watching a romance movie.
Stephen and Sky both left the ring, with cheers and coins being thrown after them.
"See? I told you if you played along, I would let you win!" Sky said to Stephen as he walked in front of her. He ignored her and walked faster.
'As antisocial as ever.' She rolled her eyes.
"Well people…" a familiar uninterested voice spoke. "Thats that. We have concluded the first day of the competition. I would say it was very eventful and I hope you look forward to the fights of the 10 remaining players throughout the week." W took a bow finishing his sentence.
The crowd roared as he floated back into the door he came out of. The 8 who were sitting in their spots also got up and walked away. Some waved as the crowd cheered for them.
"Well that's the end." Vyen spoke as Felix flicked a button again. The painting as well as curtains came back down closing the windows. It got dark again and lie disappeared back into the shadows.
"Have you checked your schedule?" Vyen asked.
"Oh yeah!" Rowan answered by pulling up his schedule. It consisted of the fights that would happen throughout the week, food, and all of that. It reminded Rowan of his middle school days.
"Well then you should know how this works. Felix will lead you to your room." Vyen turned around as Felix walked to the door and opened it for them. "Make sure to remember our conversation unless you wanna die~"
'How can he say that with such a happy face?' Rowan shivered.
"Is it necessary to be crazy to be at the top in this world or something?" Onyx asked from his shoulder. Rowan looked in front of him where Felix was leading them through the halls.
"I mean he seems normal?" Rowan said, pointing towards Felix. "Violent but normal!"
Felix hearing all of this was starting to get heated. His short temper was something everybody knew of.
"I can hear you, you know." He said through gritted teeth.
"Be careful now." Onyx started to join in on the teasing. "You made an enemy of Stephen and Kira already."
"You're right! He might kill me in my sleep!"
'Keep…calm…' Felix thought to himself as Rowan and onyx giggled behind him.
"We're here." He spoke pointing towards a door to the left. "Your stuff is already in there."
Rowan walked forward and opened the door only to be met with a familiar tan skinned werewolf.
"Oh yeah!" Felix put his hand over his mouth as Rowan and onyx's jaws dropped to the floor. "You'll be having a roommate." He giggled, getting his revenge for the teasing.
Kira's voice boomed through the room.
"Who the fuck are you?"
