Chapter 2 - Do or die

As Hiro took Logan's hand, the angel of death had begun to come to.

"We better get outta here before she kills us" Hiro suggested.

Logan flicked his wrist and webs shot out to a tree, "I'm gonna web us outta here, hold on!" Logan yelled.

Just then an arrow flew past Hiro's head, "The bitch is awake!" he screamed.

Logan grabbed onto his waist "No homo" he muttered.

"Hey, I heard that!" a male voice yelled from the bushes. "What's wrong with being hom_"

His voice was cut off when Celeste shot an arrow into said bush.

She cranked her arrow again, four of which appeared at the same time.

Before she let it fly, Logan had already flung himself and Hiro away.

Swinging through the woods, they were trying to desperately evade the angel.

"From above!" Hiro yelled.

Arrows started raining down on them. Logan took a left and swung under a tree,three arrows missed his head by a hairsbreadth. Twisting around mid air, he webbed another branch, pulled it to himself and blocked an arrow from lodging in Hiro's brain.

He threw Hiro a distance twisted his way through arrows and trees, and caught Hiro again.

He was about to swing to another tree, but was bodied out of nowhere.

He crashed to the ground in what you could call a catastrophic way. 'It was like I was hit by a car, what the fuck!' he yelled in his head.

Standing over their body were two guys who seemed to be made of... gold and silver.

"I'm Kinro and this is my brother Ginro, and I'm going to kill you now" the gold one spoke

********

In the hall outside, the professor was motoring the students. Quite a handful had already been ejected from the system.

The students all watched in awe at the skill and powers of their peers.

There were four people who had gotten their attention so far.

The angel, a guy with really tough skin and could shoot lasers from his eyes, and the twins Kinro and Ginro.

The professor noticed a girl who was trekking up a hill. He had this off feeling about what she was doing.

********

Kinro morphed his arm into a knife and was about to strike Logan, but a sword stopped him in his tracks. His brother Ginro charged towards the new glowing foe with a heavy blow, but that was blocked by a shield.

Hiro seeing this as a chance to escape, looked around for the route to do so. Unfortunately they were in-between a cliff an the three monsters at the back.

"Why protect them you idiot?" Ginro yelled at the angel. "I definitely am not, the one with the short hair ruined my dress on my way to school, I want his head!" she made sure to have yelled the last part so Hiro could hear loud and clear.

Just then webs stuck to Kinro and Ginro's faces, and the angel was bodied away. Kinro and Ginro tore the little distraction from their faces, and faced the two idiots who were about to have their lives taken.

"I, Celeste will have your head emo boy" the angel proclaimed.

"I am not emo!" Hiro cried as he charged towards her. Three on two, this wasn't going to end well.

Seeing the idiot approach, Celeste created another arrow and let it fly, all in a lightening quick movement.

Hiro saw everything in slow motion. He couldn't lose now, he hasn't really shown what he can do. Determined, he decided he was going to catch the arrow.

His hand movements were very fluid, like he had done it hundreds of times.

An ice wall came from nowhere and froze the arrow. "What the fuck is this!" Logan cried.

On a hill in a clearing stood a girl watching everything. Her eyes caught a glimpse of little and large movements. The crashing and screams coming from all around her, to her everything was somewhat artistic.

Drowning the sound of everything around her, she put her hands on the floor. Her breath turned cold, her hands turned blue and_ ice started running down the hill in several directions. Freezing some people, while some allies where separated.

The amount of people that had been removed, was the most done by one person.

They had no recollection of what happened. One moment they were either fighting or running away, the next moment they were here.

Hiro was overjoyed that he didn't have to fight Celeste, considering the fact that she made him drool.

Walking away from the ice wall Hiro was now concerned about the mineral duo in front of him and Logan.

"I'll take Kinro, you take Ginro" Hiro proposed and got a nod from Logan. Dashing forward Kinro morphed his arm into a blade and slashed at Hiro's head. Hiro dodged it and used the base of his palm to strike his jaw.

Eating the blow, he used his other blade hand to slice at his chest, but in a fluid motion, he redirected the blade with his palm and punched his solar plexus.

Logan wasn't struggling much either. Unlike Kinro, Ginro couldn't morph his arms or anywhere for that matter.

It was a fist fight, and Logan had quite the strength to bend silver. "When I'm through here do you need a hand Hiro!" Logan called out. "I'm fine!" Hiro replied.

Kinro would slash at Hiro, but he'd evade it and struck him again. Hiro seemed to be getting faster and faster.

He was about to charge at him when he noticed he had gotten heavier. "What did you do to me!" Kinro yelled.

"You're not unconscious because your skin kept absorbing most of the shock, but some still got through nonetheless. I hit your pressure points, so yeah, you'll be unable to move properly for a while."

At that Kinro started lighting up, and his body started disintegrating.

"I guess the computer sees that as a loss" Hiro smirked.

Two red beams tore through the ice that supposedly came from nowhere. Everything went silent.

*Boom*

Celeste came crashing through. "My angel!" Hiro screamed in horror. She seemed weak and had bruises in some places.

"I wonder why the computer hasn't ejected her yet. I guess she still has fight left" A flat monotonous voice came from the other side.

Stepping through the hole in the wall was a slightly large guy with brown hair, red eyes and a blank stare. His clothes were ripped in certain areas, and small wounds could be seen on his body.

Hiro kneeled before the staggering Celeste. "She may have a horrid attitude, but she's still an angel. You have no right to hurt her like this!"

Celeste started muttering something. Hiro noticing brought his ear closer so he could hear what she was saying "...I'll have your head emo boy..." was all Hiro heard, and was taken aback by fear all of a sudden.

That's when everyone turned to look at the rustle from a tree. It was a girl. She was more on the small side I'm terms of size. She had Snow white hair, and a blank expression that just stared at them like they were puppets.

She looked at the guy who had put Celeste through the ice. "You managed to break my ice" she said. "What are you saying, you're barely audible!" The guy yelled at her.

She calmly jumped down from the tree, an put a finger at the center of his chest. "You broke my ice. Now, I break you." In the blink of an eye, ice rose up from the ground freezing everything in sight for several meters.

There was no blocking or dodging an attack like that.
