Kingdom Stars

   Out of the hundred students, only forty was going to compete. Louise scoffed "Thirty five people think they can beat us?" I laughed at his cocky remark."Yea i guess they are pretty confident." The announcer came up to the microphone "OKAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ! We are here to begin the twentieth tournament of passing. Out of the forty only six contenders will win and be granted instant access to Junior grade missions." He cleared his throat, clearly excited to see the fights. "When the six contestants make it to the final round they will have to fight some of our best students to prove they deserve the entry." The announcer raised his fist. "NOW THE FIRST FIGHT IS BETWEEN BOKUDA AND THE LOVELY FRAIL SHANA MEA!!!"

    With slight annoyance Shana glared at the announcer. "Who's he calling frail! I'll show them how frail I really am!" Louise shook his head. "It's like you break your leg on the steps, before you even fight." Chuckling a little, I got punched by both Naro and Shana. "That's not funny, what if she does Nii-chan!" "Your right, Sorry and good luck." Naro hugged her "Do your best!" Louise waved "Break a leg." I looked at him "Dude really?" "Sorry sorry. Good luck out there!" When she got on stage there was a kid about thirteen with a spiky mo-hawk, bandaged hands, a big grin, and a cocky attitude. When he spoke he said it like he was tough shit "Oh well look at this now. You're actually pretty cute! Hey after this do you wanna go out some time?" Shana rolled her eyes "Sorry already got a boyfriend." She jabs her thumb at Naka's direction "Right over there." Bokuda looks at Naka with slight pains of jealousy.

  Snarlingly he boasted "That loser. I bet that shit head can't even win against a baby!" Shana balled her fists in an irritated tone she yelled "YOU ARE REALLY PISSING ME OFF!!!!!" Just then the bell rung with Shana bounding towards the arrogant boy. Only a lucky flinch of a block save the poor soul from entering the vary pits of hell it's self! When the fist connected the kid flew three feet backwards. Trying to compose him self he sneered "Lucky hit." He dashed forward as fast as he could throwing a punch aimed right at her stomach. Shana side stepped as Bokuda passed right under her arm, with the help of the devastating power of the Tyrant gloves she slammed her elbow right into his head. She began to walk away thinking that its over when suddenly, Bokuda grabbed her leg tripping her.

  At that moment he sprang up and pounced on her keeping the girl pinned down Shana thrashed trying to break free "GET OFF OF ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I"LL RIP YOU TO PIECES!!!!" The anger flowed from her words, but the threats had no effect on the bragger all he did was laugh. making a hand symbol he chanted the word bind, then a yellow light shown around her wrists then disappeared. Bokuda had a ravenous look in his eyes "My my such strong words from a cutie like you, and that body WOW! I could just run my hands all over you... hope you don't mind." He started to drool as he felt around her body staring at the waist.

  Quickly thinking Shana asked him "Wait can't these-AH!- people see this happening?" She continued to try and kick with no avail "Oh no my dear they can't once i was able to touch you just once, activated my illusion spell which all the other spectators just see the continuous throw of punches. Only few people can see this like a person with high magic power." With a distraught look Shana thought Oh Naka what are you doing, help me! "AH!"

  Enjoying the match I sat there holding Naro's hand. She had a frustrated look on her face as I knelt down "Whats up Naro?" She looked at me with those beautiful purple eyes. "I can't see." She puffed up her cheeks causing her to look even more cute. Blushing at her adorableness I pulled her on my back saying "Well why don't you sit on my shoulders." She giggled at my sarcasm, DAWWWW she's just to sweet and innocent! I should be careful or I might get diabetes, but she is just so cute!

  Naro looked around capturing the view from this height then looked at the ring. In total horror and shock she gasped gaining my attention. "What! what happened?!" She replied with something I never thought would come out of her mouth

"SHANA'S GETTING MOLESTED!!!" "WHAT!" I said in surprise. Louise came up behind with Tony on his shoulders "It's true." With the confirmed information Tony flipped off of his shoulders and sprinted towards the stage. Naro jumped off also, chasing after him "I'll go with him!" She called back to us. With a hand placed on my head Louise asked "Should we go?" "I don't think so. They where able to see something we couldn't. If we go, we would probable get in their way." He nodded "Hope they'll be ok." I looked at him with a smile on my face "Their going to be fine. That's my brother going in there!"

  "AH!" Bokuda was now starting to touch her breasts, getting more violent as grabbed, pinched, pulled, and teased with her body. all of a sudden came a yell strong, young, but full of authority. Being snapped out of his lust filled state he glared in the direction of where the voice came from to see a blond kid no older than him "GET OFF OF HER!" Tony's grey green eyes became darker with disgust and hatred for the cocky opponent that has harmed his friend. Bokuda just scoffed "Get lost kid!" he froze as soon as he realized "Y-you can see me?" Tony grinned a devilish smile "Yes i can" "Shit!" He got up quickly in bewilderment "You're just a punk kid!.. But you can see me... Well what are you gonna do about huh! I bet you can't even fight!"

  Crouching into a fighting stance Tony slung the words "Try me I'm new!" Angry at his confidence, Bokuda rushed Tony again throwing a punch aimed at his gut. Tony sidestepped as Bokuda passed by him, but in a flash Tony kneed him in the face then quickly spun around  his other leg with incredible speed bashing is nose in. Bokuda fell a few feet away from Tony writhing in pain, in a burst of rage he roared "YOU LITTLE SHIT! I WILL SLIT YOUR STOMACH OPEN AND RIP OUT YOUR ENTRAILS!!!!! " Tony's gray green eyes darkened and hued to a dry blood red, The darkness taking control of his body.

  Thin shadowy wisps flowed around him as evil thoughts filled his mind. He glanced at him self feeling pains of fear, sadness, anger, and hatred. Then he smiled and looked back at Bokuda "Hey if your such the big man you say you are then why don't you come over here, AND STOP BEING A PUSSY!!!" With those words being splashed in to his face Bokuda charged again with the intent of murder. He threw his punch only to be caught by Tony. He pulled Bokuda closer, the smile on his face becoming more demonic. Fear had stricken the poor pervert as the shadowed boy raised his fist and bash Bokuda's elbow, bending it the other way! He screeched holding his arm, tears flowed from his eyes. Annoyed by the constant squeals Tony lifted his leg above his head "SHUT UP AND DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!" He screamed slamming his his foot on the poor soul.

  Bokuda fell silent, but his chest still rises and falls. Shadow Tony saw this and smiled again "Still breathing? Lets fix that!" He began to repeat his previous action. He did this three times before Naro ran up tackling him crying "Tony stop please it's over!" her tears soaking his shirt, They looked at each other, the light fighting its way back into his heart. Tony sat confused What happened? Why did i do this? Was it because of the darkness that resides with in me? He began to burst in to tears, crying over what he has done "I'm sorry Naro I couldn't control my self the darkness j-j-just s-s-s-see....." He was crying to much to finished the sentence, Naro shook her head smiling at him "It's ok I know, but you're fine now." She cuddled up calming him down. He felt Shana join the group hug and sighed "Sorry i couldn't *sniff* save you earlier." She just nuzzled him and laughed "You came when you could, and that's all that matters."

  Tony had stopped crying to end up dosing off between them, the two girls looked at each other and giggled as they brought Tony back to me. The announcer came back with a excited look on his face it was kinda gross "WOW! Looks like Bokuda used an illusion spell to trick us, just so he can get his sick thrills." The crowd booed (Mostly the girls.) "But this brave young boy came in and whooped some pervert ass to save his friend! Though it seems tony has proven to be eligible to go to the final round."

  I looked over to Shana, large smiles spreading across our faces. " YOOOOOO THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!" We said in unison. Just before i was able to continue, announcer dude spoke again. "But since Shana didn't get the chance to beat her opponent her self, which would mean a automatic disqualification, but the judges decided to give her another chance!" I WOOED! in joy to hear that my girl will be able to redeem her self, I quickly tackled her in a hug kissing her in happiness. "So glade you where allowed to try again." She wrapped her arms behind my neck and pulled me in for another passionate kiss. "Me to! geez was worried for a sec."

     The rest of the battles where a complete drag! Sloppy ass fighting with forgettable victories. Just plain out foolish of how they where doing their battles! There was only two dudes that looked fun enough to challenge, but I wouldn't get to. "OKAY! TIME FOR THE FINAL ROUNDS!!! Due to a slight change in the system, we are going to have all the contenders fight junior classed students!"

  I turn toward Shana " Fighting some Juniors, Alright." I say with suave tone. She rolls her eyes giggling "Your such a goober Naka!" "What? I'm excited."  "Yea to get your butt kicked!" I crossed my arms puffing up my cheeks "S-shut up... I'm not that much of a wimp." We both laughed lightheartedly as the referee came down to talk to us. He pointed at me and Tony, and beckoned us to him "Hey are you guys having trouble with your weapons?" He said with a impressed face. I nod my head in acknowledgment, placing my hand on my brother "Yup we both do." The ref Pointed to a booth on the far side of the ring "Go talk to the man over at that booth. He'll give you some ways of summoning your weapon."

  We thanked him the headed towards the booth. As we approached, Arthor sat behind the tables with his arms crossed smiling with that always present seductiveness "Why hello boys! How may I help you two?" Arthor said "Hey Art! We need some pointers on getting our weapons out." Arthor put on a face of thought then answered "Well there are many way of summoning one, But the two main ways is directing the energy to your dominant hand and expanding it to its chosen shape. Then there's just imagining it appearing in your hand." I looked at him a little confused "That's it?" "Yup!" A little angry at how simple it sounds I conduct the energy to my right hand. Little feelings of pricks filled my palm, as it gained in heat. Slowly a small ball of yellow light grew to a size of an orange. My excitement shown in delight at this achievement "Wow! This is so AWESOME!" "Don't loose focus Naka!" Arthor scold "You need to concentrate to have this work! Now continue."

  Regaining seriousness I went back to my task, pushing my chi further. Soon the ball became engulfed in a blue flame, turning it to a green color. I then flexed my fingers stretching the entity to a form of a two foot long sword. The light faded to reveal a katana shaped Keyblade,

with three prongs on the back of the tip, a circular blue and green guard, and a black hilt.

Gazing at the glory of it, I freak out in a torrent of joy "HOLY SHIT! This is so AWESOME! Holy Capricorn this is cool! Tony look it even has a key chain!" Arthor grinned then turned his attention to Tony "Okay your turn now young one. Imagine the weapon just appearing in you hands." "But I don't even know what it looks like! How can I imagine it if I don't know what the thing even is?" Arthor stared at him, the smile still on his face "Just try." Tony exhaled, put out his hand, and pictured the object appearing in his grasp. A few seconds have passed, soon his hand felt slightly heavier. He opened his eyes to a wicked short sword with a curved blade and mini scythe at the bottom of the hilt.

His eyes lit with joy as he shared the same excitement of mine with me "Okay boys, time to be serious!" Arthor commanded "You guys have a real challenging match up ahead. Each of you will be put alone in separate rooms to fight against Junior students. Oh and Any one of them could join so your opponent could be ridiculously strong!" I Puffed up my chest showing my bravado with Tony following suit "Heh no problem Art, me and Tony has this in the bag! Right Bro?" "HECK YEA!" My eager brother replied "Alright then go on ahead boys!" "Later!" We said walking away to where the other contenders are.

  Naroska had a worried look on her face, holding on tight to Shana's hand. She glances at the shy girl a motherly smile appearing on her face "What's wrong Naro?" Naro looked at her hugging closely "I'm a little scared." Shana held her talking in confidence "You have nothing to worry about! You are a strong girl and it will take a lot to bring you down!" She gazed at her seeing the courage seeping into the girl "Thank you!" "You're welcome!"

  The Ref stood in front of the seven competitors, his hand on his side giving off a feeling of authority even as he spoke "Alright kids you are about to enter the final round of the tournament! These guys are tough and relentless. So be on your guard because behind those doors are merciless monsters." He turned and gestured for the group to follow him to a corridor with eight doors a lined along it "Okay each of you have an assigned door so Shana your in this one. Naroska you're in here. Nakadesu is here. Louise you in that one over there. Tony Your door is right here, and you two your rooms are there." They all entered their rooms to begin the challenge at hand.

   Louise walked into the room. It was fairly large brightly lit with a white color schema. Sitting in the middle of it was skinny red haired girl with a cute face who looks about nineteen, and two circular blades attached to her arms. A few minutes of silence past after the door had closed. Louise stood and stared feeling a little restless It's been like five minutes and she has yet to even look up at me... Hmmm might as well make her known of my existence "Hey there... So whats your name?... Okay well my name is Louise, and I guess I will be your opponent. Sooo My the best st-" "DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP!" She yelled cutting him off "Such an annoying..." She stopped her self lightly blushing at him. Now Louise is no Tolio, but he is a real good looking fellow "A-are you okay? (Geez what's with the sudden change in emotion?) Um hello?" Louise asked a little worried. Realizing what she was doing and quickly looked away "N-n-n-nothing! Stop talking idiot!" The boy in front of her grinned, then placed his hand for a handshake "So shall we begin?" She began to grin too, flicking her wrists to activate her arm blades "Alright then! May your odds forever be in your favor." He laughed, getting excited "Then lets do this!"

  With that the girl pounced in attack swinging her blades in fluid movements of attack. To Louise's quick reaction he summoned his sword, Flame Angle to catch her attack on his blade. He swung his leg causing to flip backwards avoiding the hit. He then charged again swinging his sword at her with horizontal and vertical power slashes, knocking her side to side with every swipe. Clashes and bangs rang out through the room, as the back and forth attacks continued. Louise started to wonder how his friends are doing, and what's the name of this girl "Hey... What's your name?" The girl faltered taken aback from the weird question he asked "WHAT? Why do you want to know? And why are you trying to make idle conversation during the middle of our fight?" He looked to his side thinking about it, still blocking each attack "Hmm I don't know... Well you are pretty and seem nice, so I at least want to get to know you." Her face was as red as her hair, becoming angry and started to blindly lash at him.

  Taking advantage of the situation, Louise reversaled around her then finished her with a tornado attack, slashing vital spots on her back. He dusted him self off and looked at the collapsed body on the floor. Gently lifting her up he asked "You alright?" She groaned a little dazed "Y-yea I'll be fine...  Terranias Whitewind." "Your name?" She nodded. Smiling he started heading out the room "Awesome name, but can I call you Tera instead?"

   She nodded again hiding a small smile. Louise gasped in excitement "Hey! Why don't you come hang out with me and my friends?" She looked at him questionably "Why? Friends are such a waste of time." Louise held her hand tenderly "Just come and meet them."

   "I barely know you. So why should I?"

  "Because you look like a cool person to hang out with. You also look like you could want a friend."

  "... I-I'll think about it..."

  Louis smiled "You're cute when you're embarrassed. You know that right?" Terra blushed so hard she started to sway, nearly falling over in a faint. She looked down noticing they where still holding hands, and pushed him slightly "Why are you so interested in me? I'm nothing special..." Her face was cast down her hair hiding the eyes. He sighed the smile still on his face "Well then. That's no way to talk about your self. Come let's go get relaxed and get to know each other." They left the room and sat leaning on the wall.

  The intercom came on with the announcers excited voice sounding through "OH MAN! What just happened? Terranias Whitewind got diced by Louise Vega! An incredible match, now let's see how the other contenders are doing!"

  They stayed quiet for few moments. Louise, nearly falling asleep, then snapping awake, sighed and stretched. Lifting her head up Terra spoke "I was born in China in Shaolin Village... My  father was an exceptional shaolin monk that believed, that all forms of people should be able to learn the ways of the monk." She shifted her hand hugging her legs close to her "My...my mom was an Irish witch doctor that preyed on those with strong spirits. When they first met they would flirt and pet each other, but my father always kept his suspicion."

   "One day my mother found my father on the grounds, standing there staff in hand he said to her."

"I know now what you have been scheming witch."

"So you know that you are going to die?" She slowly unveiled her wand. The monk stepped forward "Why? We have a child now."

  "Don't mention her!" She pursed her lips "She is nothing, but a half breed abomination!"

"You dare insult our daughter? My daughter!"

  "She is nothing! Just another ploy to get close to you. NOW DIE!!!" She fires her wand. A stream of purple energy connecting with the monks staff, as he channels and reflects it back to her. The witch puts up a shield, the bolt exploding against it. She chuckles evilly "I want your soul. It's just so powerful, that's why I was attracted to you. If I have your soul I would be the most powerful thing in world!"

"Oh get over it Selphy! You know as well as I do that you will not survive this fight. Just give up now and leave the child with me."

  "No I want her too! If I have you and her. I'd be unstoppable!"

  "Not if I can help it!" The monk flashed forward striking her down, before she had the chance to shoot. Selphy grinned pulling out a lantern chanting two words "Mi-ik-ty-hi Qu-rav-lo-oni!" The lantern Glow with a strong green light lifting the mink in to the air. He screamed in pain as his soul was ripped from his body. With one last effort, he plunged his staff through her chest making sure they both died.

  Terra sniffed "I was three at the time. So I was orphaned and lived on the streets. A few months later I was adopted by a high class English family for about nine years, Then I came here." Louise Hugged Terra feeling for her story. He sighed laughing a bit "Wow you had a pretty exciting life... Mine is just a bland tale of me growing up and meeting friends." She looks at him "Would like to hear it."

He smiled "Sure." He told about how he grew up with a troubling father and crazy mother. How he would always adventure with Naka and his brother, then him leaving being separated for a long time "Yea then we all got together and came here!"

"Wow you guys must have a really strong friendship."

"Well the dude is like a brother to me."

  "Will I meet him."

  "Course you will. He almost exactly like me, but I'm more sexy."

Terra giggled at him then snuggled close resting on him. Louise smiled "Sweet dreams." Then drifted off to sleep him self.
