Chapter 12 - Land Based Vs Air Based

Clawdia: "Come down here next Paula and Clare."

[The two energetic woman then came on to the battle stage.]

Paula: "Ohohoho, you better give up now, that is if you don't want to get hurt."

Clare: "We won't know that for sure, unless we fight, hahaha"

Paula: "What a feisty woman you are."

Clare: "I can say the same about you."

[The festive mood then quickly changed, however this time it was a light hearted competition between the two girls, who seemed to have a different type of confidence.]

...

[Paula then began to morph. Her morphing process bore a striking resemblance to Alsen's and Silvano's, with a notable distinction. Instead of wings sprouting from her back, her arms underwent a transformation that almost resembled wings, Despite these differences, her wings still had feathers, distinguished by bright colors, such as red, orange, yellow, blue, and violet.]

[Meanwhile, Clare, who already possessed thick legs, underwent a transformation that resulted in even thicker and more muscular lower limbs. The process was forceful enough to tear through some parts of the jogging pants she wore. Subsequently, her feet underwent a significant change, adopting a shape reminiscent of hooves.]

Clawdia: "I'm sure I don't have to say the rules again. Now Fight!!"

Fwoosh!!

[The fight began by Paula flying as fast as possible, quickly creating distance between them, and with Clare stomping on the ground with her right foot-]

Crash!!!

[The forceful stomp created cracks on the ground, propelling her upward with incredible speed and height. However, Paula, observing Clare's ascent, responded by flailing her wings around, causing sharp, bright feathers to rain down on Clare.]

Shunk!! Shunk!!

[Meanwhile Clare, who was facing the downpour of the feathers, were blinded by the bright colors, and didn't have any momentum to dodge, so she had no choice but to block, with each feather stabbing her, felt heavy, and stinging her; She then quickly began to increase in weight, and began to lose lift.]

CRASH!!!! WHOOSH!!

[The force of Clare falling, was strong enough to cause shock waves around the gymnasium. Seeing her down, Paula didn't stop her continued barrage of feathers; She was relentless and kept on throwing them, as fast as she regenerated them.]

...

[Then feeling that it was enough, she stopped from flailing her wings around, and the dust quickly settled.]

Swooshhhh.....

[However her body wasn't anywhere to be found, seeing this she quickly looked around–Up, down, right, left–But there were no trace of her, except for a small peculiarity; there were misplaced cracks on the walls. Noticing this, she decided to taunt her, and pretend that she wasn't aware.]

"Ohohoho What now Clare?"

[Clare unfazed by this, and was able to gain height, just lunged her body forward from the walls, and tried to tackle her. But Paula expected this, so she used her wings decrease the force of the attack, by going with the flow, and spinning around the moment she hit her, making Clare feel as if she just grazed past the wind.]

{However that wasn't the end of Clare's attack, as she decided to bounce around the walls in all directions. Paula quickly realizing what she was trying to do, needed to act fast-]

Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!!

Swoosh!!!

Shunk!! Shunk! Shunk!!! Shunk!!

Fwoosh!!

Shunk!! Shunk! Shunk!!! Shunk!! Shunk!!!

[So, she decided to throw her feathers in all directions, and the result was Paula throwing her feathers and barely grazing Clare. While Clare was given the opportunity to attack once in a while, seeing an opening, she too would just barely tackle or kick Paula. Even so, despite the fight appearing even, the feathers that came from Paula created rubble that served as a platform for Clare to step on, further increasing her maneuverability.]

...

[After some time passed, this routine continued on. But with Clare continuously increasing in speed, almost as if she was a homing missile. Paula, seeing that she was beginning to lose sight of her, and not able to keep up with her. She knew that she needed to end this quickly. So she increased the number of times that she threw her feathers, faster than she could regenerate them-]

Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!!!

Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!!! Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!!!

Fwoosh!!

Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!!! Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!!! Shunk!!!

Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!!! Shunk! Shunk!! Shunk!! Shunk!!! Shunk!!!

[But it was to no avail, Clare easily dodged all of it, while still increasing in speed. Paula completely focused on hitting her, became reckless. She began to throw her feathers non-stop, faster than she could regenerate them, up until she lost her mobility in the air, but it was too late when she noticed this, and there it was a flying kick coming straight for her. With her mobility gone she just instinctively blocked, and decided to take the brunt of the whole attack-]

BAM!!! CRASH!!!!!

Crash!!

[The powerful kick flung her to the wall, with the impact strong enough to bounce her back, before falling down, and laying face down into the ground.]

[That was the decisive blow, concluding the battle between the two]

"Yeah!!! Yeah!! Yeah!!!"

"Let's F#cking go!!"

"That was an intense fight!!"

"Yeah!!! Yeah!! Yeah!!!"

"That was awesome!!!"

"Yeah!!! Yeah!! Yeah!!! Yeah!!! Yeah!!!"

[But despite all that, Paula was still awake, hearing all of their chants; It took a huge blow at her ego, causing her face to have an expression of shock, and making her remember unpleasant memories.–'No, I don't want to be bullied again, what is she gonna do?, is she going to mock me, and embarrass me in front of everyone?'–However as Clare was approaching her, she couldn't have been prepared for what she was about to say-]

Clare: "What are you looking so shocked for?, that was a good fight!!, let's do this again, when we get the chance"-[As Clare just smiled and reached out her hand to her.]

[And with that she made a friend, and turned a little bit more humble, though she was still had a huge ego.]

Clawdia: "Take her to the infirmary, and make sure to tend your wounds too, Clare, Somebody come down here and help them!"

...

Clawdia: "Next come down here, Brian and Farkas."
