Chapter 38: Chapter 38: DODGE!
The game started to heat up and that wasn't because Mitch unleashed his semblance scorching a ball that had been hurled towards him by Ania at a break neck speed. Ruby and Yang were having their own sisterly battle as Ruby darted around hurling balls which Yang deflected using her fists as one of the balls strayed off and slammed into the back of Blake who glared at her team mates careless flailing.
"Ha sorry" Yang yelled back as a ball slammed directly into her face by Ruby "WOHO SCORE" she jumped up pumping the air before Mitch found an opening leaping up and tossing the ball as it thudded into Ruby's stomach knocking the wind out from her. "There you've been avenged" he sarcastically said to Yang who clasped both hands together "Why my hero" "Hey that hurt" Ruby wheezed trudging off as Yang glared at her "Serves you right for hitting me in the face!"
Patrick and Wesley had been busy ganging up on Tom throwing balls left, right and centre but due to Tom's semblance every now and then he'd freeze time and casually dodge them. "Grrr I can't seem to hit this fool" Wesley angrily exclaimed before Patrick had an idea "Look he uses his semblance so all we do is throw one forcing him to activate it and then wait to throw the second one".
Darting forward Patrick hurled one at a break neck speed as Tom shut his eyes freezing time before opening them as he saw the ball directly in front of him. Ducking underneath it time resumed as he failed to notice Wesley had leapt into the air waiting to throw as he grinned "Game over sucka" throwing the ball down Tom found there was no time to dodge as he tried to block it only for a gust to wind to soar in stopping the ball.
"Huh?" both Patrick and Wesley exclaimed in shock before Sky stood in front of them with three balls floating in the air due to her wind semblance "Ah shit" was all Wesley said before she twirled her hands down sending the balls flying forward smacking both of them square in the jaw and sending them crashing out of the court. "Wow thanks Sky that was awesome" "Oh it was nothing I didn't want to see you get knocked out" she blushed and giggled before a ball smacked her straight on the side of the face "Stop being lovey dovey!" Ania's voice came from the other side as Sky sighed "I guess I deserved that one".
"HA I've dodged 20 balls so far Mitch how many have you?" "I don't know maybe 24?" "DRAT I MUST CATCH UP" Adrian roared "Hey wasn't Alan on their team?" Weiss mentioned realising no one had seen him since the game started. "I'm still here" his voice echoed as a ball floated in mid air before smacking Weiss "One down and here we go for number two" his voice trailed as another ball was thrown only for a speeding blur to grab it.
"Darn her super speed" Alan said emerging as Ania twirled the ball on one finger "Alright come back in Ruby" "YAYY" "Well looks we're in a bit of a pickle here" Mitch said the only remaining member of his team being Tom while the other side had Adrian, Ania, Ruby and Tessa who had been sitting in the corner not even moving. "No worries I'm sure we can handle it" "Now that's the spirit" Mitch grinned as he rolled to the side avoiding a speeding throw from Ania and responded by hurling one back as she easily dodged it but failed to notice he had aimed at Tessa as the ball hit her on the cheek before she toppled over.
"Umm I feel kind of bad hitting her…." Mitch said as he stopped moving "MITCH!" Tom yelled freezing down time as he saw Ruby had darted in throwing a ball along with Adrian as he knocked his captain aside while time resumed and they both landed with a thud on the ground. "GOT YOU!" Ania yelled throwing a ball directly at them as a flaming wall was erected deflecting it before it fizzled out and Tom had leapt through it catching her off guard as the ball thudded into her.
"Time for a combo" Mitch chimed in as he clicked his fingers causing an explosion that sent balls scattering everywhere as a stray one smacked Ruby knocking her to the ground. "25, 26, 27, 28 HAA I'VE DODGED MORE THAN YOU RIVAL!" Adrian yelled standing triumphant as Mitch stood directly in front of him tossing a ball up and down as it was surrounded in flames before he hurled crashing into Adrian's face and sending him flying through the air before he slammed against the gym wall and crumpled onto the ground "….As I should have expected from my rival…. It's your win…" he muttered before collapsing onto the ground.
"ALRIGHT WE WON!" Yang yelled leaping forward and hugging Mitch as he grumbled "Great lot of help you were knocking Blake out" "Ehehe sorry?" "Well anyway Tom and I had it handled" "Who would've thought you could actually formulate a strategy together and make it work perhaps you aren't such a bad leader after all" Ania said walking over. "Hey I can do stuff like that I'm just to lazy 90% of the time" "And that's why I'm leader" Alan chimed in "Exactly like I could be bothered ordering around 3 other people constantly that'd cause me a headache".
"Hey you were pretty awesome back there" Sky stood next to Tom as he took a sip of water "Yeah and you were pretty impressive the way you utilised your semblance, I wouldn't mind seeing more of it's potential if you wanted to show me sometime?" "YES! I mean of course" Sky said trying to contain her excitement as she skipped off obviously wanting to be alone to squeal in delight "Umm did Tom just organise a date without even realising it?" Mitch said poking Alan and Ania "Yeah but to him it's more of a theoretical study of her ability and how it works" she rolled her eyes "Right I forgot it's him".
