Unbelievable

"C'mon we gotta help him, we gotta find the root of this problem," Valerus says as they run from the top of the auditorium to the stage.

PUSH SHOVE PUSH

Many students run in the opposite direction.

"Got it," Eriko says as she unsheaths her rapier close by her side.

The two head straight for the stage as the other students struggle to find the exit.

STEP STEP STEP

"Ha" 

Ezekiel attempts to smash Faith into the ground using his fists but she dodges his attempts.

SMASH SMASH SMASH

Ezekiel destroys the stage around him by creating cracks and holes in the ground.

"Hmm she seems to be on the defensive now," Ezekiel thinks to himself as he examines the area. "Come to think of it what happened to the other four members they seemed to have vanished."

SWOOSH SWOOSH

Ezekiel dodges the water attack as he leaps in the air and observes Faith. "Hm, even that student council president appears to be gone as well. Strange" he says to himself as he moves through the air. 

"You're going to have to move that water a little faster," Ezekiel says as he easily dodges the water attacking him. 

Faith opens multiple blue magic circles that appear around her as water shoots out of them like cannons.

"There we go," Ezekiel says as he dodges the water cannons. As Faith creates more distance between herself and him. " although your magic is pretty good" Ezekiel crouches 

DASH

Ezekiel dashes towards Faith. 

"Your hand-to-hand seems to be your downfall"

Faith puts her hands out as she puts a water shield up. 

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH 

A fury of punches from Ezekiel as he attempts to land a clean hit on Faith as she generates a shield made of water. 

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

"You know you just punching water. Water has no shape. It's a liquid. Your going to tire yourself" Faith finally speaks.

"So the water bearer does speak," Ezekiel asks as he continues to punch the water. 

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

Ezekiel moves closer and closer to Faith. She gets pushed back little by little the more and more the fury continues. 

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

"Hmm," Faith.

Suddenly the shield grows bigger as Faith adds more to it. 

"Hmph gotcha" Ezekiel states. 

DASH 

"You wide open," Ezekiel says as appears in the back of Faith.

PUNCH

"What the"

Ezekiel finally lands a punch but he hits just water.

"Ah, so you can change your body to water?" Ezekiel questions Faith. 

Ezekiel then escapes as he attempts another attack.

"HA"

"What the"

Ezekiel gets stopped mid-motion as he gets stopped by the Faiths water. 

"You all brawn no brains huh"

Ezekiel looks down as water is seen to be leaking from the cracks he made in the floor prior. 

Faith walks slowly to Ezekiel "It's your own fault that you got caught"

"So do you admit defeat?" Faith asks.

"Never," Ezekiel says with confidence as closes his hands as if he had claws. 

SLASH 

"Huh," Ezekiel says in surprise.

Valerus arrives and helps Ezekiel escape.

"Water magic like Lila good thing i had experience with it" Valerus thinks to himself.

DROP

"Are you all-" Valerus asks. 

"Man what the hell I was going to escape myself and kick her ass"

"What I just saved your ass"

"No, I was going to deliver a sick as a move that was going to beat her"

Faith goes in the attack again as the two are distracted by one another.

BEAM

Suddenly a beam of white light flashes before her.

"Your battle is with me," Eriko says as her rapier shines a golden hue.

SWOOSH

Faith opens up multiple magic circles and fires water cannons at Eriko. 

"Water Magic like lady Lila then i should try this" Eriko thinks to herself.

Eriko dodges left and right as she inches closer and closer to Faith

STAR MAGIC: HEAVEN BEAM 

Eriko motions her Rapier in a lunge attack as a large beam of white light heads straight toward Faith.

As they both fall to the other side of the stage. 

BOOM

"Whew," Eriko says as she awaits the smoke to clear.

BUBBLE BUBBLE

Faith's body dematerialized into the water as she braced for the attack with her magic.

"So she turned her body into water a difficult task indeed," Eriko thinks to herself.

GRAB

Eriko suddenly falls into the snap trap as Ezekiel is hoisted up in mid-air by Faith's water.

GLEAM 

A bright light shines as Eriko dematerializes into herself into pure light as shes able to escape Faith's water. 

"She can dematerialize and turn into light. Similar to myself" Faith thinks to herself.

"You're good as they say you are Eriko Agnello"

"Thank you, Faith. Now would you mind telling me what kinda of twisted scheme you cooking."

Faith pauses for a moment.

As the tension in the area subsides.

"Well, you see this is actually" Faith speaks.

Meanwhile on the other side of the stage. 

"WELL IT DID LOOK LIKE THAT TO ME" Valerus yells. 

"THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A SURPRISE ATTACK."

The two bicker at each other throats back and forth. 

"That it" Ezekiel yells.

SMASH 

"What the. Why you."

CLASH

SMASH

Valerus and Ezekiel trade blows and exchange attacks.

"What the hell is this guy's skin made of steel"

"He's pretty skilled with that scythe. Wait isn't this the guy I ran into earlier"

Ezekiel makes a slashing motion with his hands.

Valerus watches his surroundings as he expects an attack.

SSSSS

"There" Valerus says as he dodges the invisible attack. 

SCRATCH

"Shit he got some really good moves huh, he was able to see my Claw Swipe," Ezekiel says to himself.

Valerus does and swinging motion with his Sycthe as it generates a powerful blast.

"Woah"

BOOM

"Nothing"

Valerus again does the same thing again.

"Again huh might as well brace for"

DASH

"What it was a fa"

BOOM

Valerus slams his Scythe into his side Ezekiel as sending him flying a couple of feet.

Ezekiel kicks up.

"Alright, a little. Oh"

BOOM BOOM BOOM

3 sonic blasts come raining in on Ezekiel as he recovers from the hit.

Valerus rests the Scythe on his shoulder "That should've done something. Thanks again Marko for teaching me" as he looks at the ceiling.

"What the"

Valerus is shocked as he sees the movement.

"You pretty good" Valerus says. 

CRACK

"Pretty good," Ezekiel says as he cracks his neck.

They stand a couple of feet from one another.

Ezekiel crotches.

Valerus readies himself.

DASH 

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

"This speed"

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

"C'mon stop my onslaught. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT"

CLAW SWIPE

"Argh" Valerus receives a little scratch.

"You're pretty durable huh" Ezekiels says. "Same to you. To tank all those blasts from me" The two compliment each other's durability as they smile at one another.

The two stand face to face again.

"Alright it's time to use it"

STAR MAGIC: Lio-

"STOP" 

Both Faith and Eriko stop the two from continuing to fight.

"What happened Eriko"

"You siding with her"

"No, no Faith will explain it to you both"

"Sorry it had to go like this guys but this is all an illusion. What a good showing sir"

"Indeed it was," a familiar voice says.

Everything begins to disappear and fade away.

As everything returns to normal

Faint noises can be heard.

"What the hell"

CLAP CLAP CLAP

Applause as the four remain on the stage now.

"What just-" Valerus was confused. 

"Give it up for Valerus, Eriko, Ezekiel" Alfred Dawkings speaks. The rest of the student council applauded as well as the students.

Ezekiel and Valerus looked shocked as they were simply showcasing their skills at the opening ceremony.

"Also give it up for Faith Alexander for being this year's volunteer. They put on a great show. This is the type of energy am hoping you guys will bring this year. 

"So he basically used us as an example for other students," I thought to myself as I stood up on stage in front of over 1000 people.

"This is unbelievable," Ezekiel and Valerus say in unison. 

"Students that concludes the Opening Ceremony we will have a brief intermission then you will be sent to your Homerooms." Alfred ends his speech.

Applauds fill the arena again.

The three walk off stage.

"Well at least we are in the same homeroom Val," Eriko says walking backwards with her hands behind her back in front of Valerus.

"Your right" Vale agrees walking behind Eriko.

"She's s gotten stronger. Her attack power speed everything. Shes going to surpass me eventually" Valerus thinks to himself. 

TAP

"Hey," 

It was Ezekiel.

"I didn't feel like there was a decisive winner there."

Valerus stops.

Silence fills the backstage area. 

"Yeah I feel the same" Valeris speaks up. 

"Val cmon you really going to do this"

"Yeah he wants to fight"

"Not a fight just a friendly exhibition"

"Yeah I wanna pay you back for earlier at the entrance"

Valerus and Ezekiel smile at one another.

"If you going to do it do it in the courtyard please" a girl's voice speaks up.

It was Luna Divine Solace,

Just being this close to her I can feel this presence or aura about her.

"C'mon Valerus lets continue our friendly exhibition before we start class."

"Yeah lets go" Valerus says.
