Caught Again

The training center was eerily quiet now, the heat of battle replaced by the cool hum of the various automated machines and bots going about their preprogrammed duties.

School guards had taken Jade away, and the air still smelled faintly of scorched metal. Leo sat on a bench, rolling his sore shoulder while Jose kneeled beside him, finishing up the last of his healing work.

But instead of leaving, Jose lingered. His gaze flickered to Leo's wrist specifically, to the sleeve where he had seen the thing... The thin blue pen-like thing.

"You know," Jose started, voice calm but edged with curiosity, "I saw you push that thing up your sleeve back there."

Leo tensed for just a second but kept his expression neutral. "What thing?" he asked, feigning innocence.

Jose scoffed. "Don't play dumb. The blue pen. I saw it." He sat back on his heels, studying Leo with sharp eyes. "Why are you doing that?"

"Doing what?" Leo persisted in his fake innocence.

"You didn't shoot back at Jade until yo

  • "I'm Not Mad"

    Leo sat on the edge of soft bed of the hospital wing, silent. The pain in his shoulder had dulled, numbed by the academy's standard-issue healing patch. A fresh shirt hung loose around him, covering the scrapes and burns left behind. But nothing touched the raw ache inside his chest. That sharp, unfinished sound in his skull still echoed faintly, like a bell that had rung once and never again. He stared at the floor, unmoving. The ward was quiet now. Rosa had helped him limp back hours ago. She had lingered, trying to get him to say something. He hadn't. Not really. Just vague nods, short replies, eyes unfocused. Eventually, she left. He was grateful for that. He needed silence. He needed time to mourn the moment that never came. But Miss Charlotte was not giving him that silence. She was busy chattering away with someone, possibly with some injured student or one of the staffs. Miss Charlotte chats with anybody regardless of age or status. He had hoped he'd meet Jose here at th

  • Awakened

    Leo was mid-air. For a long, weightless second, it felt like the world below him had paused. The ceiling stretched far above, and the stone floor dropped away like a trapdoor had opened beneath him. His body twisted awkwardly in the air, arms flailing, blood trailing like ribbons from his shoulder. He wasn't screaming. He wasn't breathing. He was just falling. Then... Bang! A deep, echoing sound pulsed through his skull, not from the outside, but from within. Something sharp tingled in his head, like a static charge building behind his eyes. His whole body clenched, expecting something, anything to happen. This had to be it, right? His quirk… was it waking up? Another faint sound followed—the distant blur of voices. Were they calling his name? Screaming? He couldn't tell. His eyes stayed shut. His body was still tumbling. He felt the air press against him like thick liquid. Then something shifted. He sensed it. The lizard. It was below, waiting. Waiting to slam him into the wal

  • Grave Danger

    Jade pushed him gently to the center of the hall, cheering him on so he wouldn't lose courage. There was no courage in him to begin with, and he knew Jade only wanted to watch for some fun. A while later, Leo was standing face to face with Amanda—with her grey hair and beautiful face. She was still smiling, this time a sinister one. Then a quick wink, before the transformation began. "Wish you luck, big fella," she said. "Another bet?" Jade asked Rosa. "100CP he gets hit seven times." "You're just trying to get your Credits back," Rosa replied. "Coward." The room was filled again with the fierce aura of the winged lizard as soon as the transformation ended. Standing in front of it now, Leo could see that it was way bigger than he had thought. About six Komodo dragons would fit into this. Its scale and limbs looked more like a crocodile's than an actual lizard's. Then something clicked in his head about surviving a crocodile attack... They don't know how to turn well. "I wish it

  • A Must

    He really wished there was a popcorn really. Because what ensued before him was a little close to unreal. Rosa was on edge and was moving in an abnormal manner in front of the beast. Jade cheered silently whenever the lizard managed to get a hit on Rosa. Leo wondered what type of hater this guy is to be cheering when his sister is being hit. "I know Rosa will win, but my bet is on Amanda to give at least 5 hits before time up." "Where's the timer?" Leo asked. "You need to be more observant." Leo didn't respond again. He made a face though. Rosa was indeed fairing well. But the winged Lizard has however managed to connect a few hits on her. What Leo noticed however was that this face off wasn't meant for Rosa to make hits, but to dodge as many hits from the lizard as possible. So, it wasn't a battle to declare the human here a winner, but to survive long enough till the timer is up. The winged Lizard gave a loud shrieking cry. After that cry, her attacks started getting more f

  • Beast Lessons

    "Uh-huh!" Leo said. "I agree," Rosa said. Amanda squeaked, still Hamster. "I didn't know we were going on a Beast Hunt." "Like I said, you're always sleeping in class, so it's a no brainer that you missed that information. Hunter Man told us two weeks after we got here. Mrs. Black told us few weeks ago too. I don't know how you missed both," Rosa complained. "Okay. Okay. Don't drown me just yet. What was said about these beasts we're going to hunt? Is it compulsory? Can I back out if I want?" "You can never back out," a voice boomed. Amanda is now a handsome young man with nicely trimmed beards and an oily hair. He's really handsome. The only comical thing about him is Amanda's feminine dress he wore. "Amanda, you know it's illegal to take the form of a person, especially popular people," Rosa frowned at this new muscular man. Amanda took the form of a popular action movie actor. "I know. Just can't help it. One minute." And again, she's back in her beautiful girl form. Her ha

  • Beastly Scares

    Leo was too confused to speak. What he was seeing does not make any sense whatsoever. He looked to his left at Rosa, and to his left at Amanda, and they wore a look of satisfaction on their faces. Whatever they planned or were planning is oblivious to him. He thought maybe the dust was playing pranks on his vision, but he could see it clearly now that it is settled. Standing there, talk and thick of frame is a Mecha-man in gleaming red armour made from beast cores, with it's beast sword hanging and swinging by it's hip. Seeing it now brought a painful memory in Leo's brain. He never wanted to remember that night for anything again. Both of its usual glowing eyes have been dulled or shut down for some reason, and the Mecha-man appear to be stooped in its stance like there was just a little life left in it. "Stop gawking at it. You've seen enough of them, won't you agree?" Rosa said. Leo recoiled and followed the girls to the left corner of the room where the dust was still promine
