Abzan the Changeling

Episode 3

The first three hours of class were good so far. Abzan, Zack and Zoey were having a great time and Abzan learned that a lot of facts about the school that bugged him so to speak. Like the fact the girl he bumped into that same morning was Ishani Cortez, the most popular girl at school or that theirs this mean bully that has been held back twice and he steals new kid's lunch. But what concerned him the most was Ishani who was worst than any bully in the whole school.

“So you mean to tell me that she is the daughter of General Cortez.” Abzan said. “Well that explains her bad attitude.”

“Yep she’s the most popular girl here at school.” Zack said.

“Then why isn’t she here?”

“That’s because she likes to show up late and the school is OKAY with it and allow her to.” Zoey said.

“Well that’s a little unfair.”

“Hey it could be worse we would be forced to bow down to her will.”

“Um Zack don’t we already do that?” Zoey asked.

“Not exactly as long as we keep our distance from her and her gang we’ll be fine.” Zack shivered at that thought having to humiliate himself….again.

“Okay now I know you are making that up.” Abzan said. “Sure she might be a prissy little brat, but come on...a gang….what is it attack of the spoiled brats. I know i’m new here and all and probably need you to show me the ropes around here but come on she can’t be that cruel….can she?”

“Oh she can be, that’s why it’s best to STAY. AWAY. FROM. HER. it will save you a lot of trouble and a lot of pain.” Zack said as he patted Abzan on the back.

“Oh come on she’s not that tough is she?”

“Yep well lunch is about  start soon so just remember try to keep a low profile and we'll all be fine.”  Zoey said with a serious tone. Abzan still didn't see this as a big problem, to him it's just another challenge and he was ready to accept it.

All the students went outside to eat or play. Zoey and Zack were leading Abzan to their usual table but what they weren't expecting was to see a large fat Zebra with a very short mane and had a small cap on and a blue vest with a star and he had a fireball as a cutie mark.

“Well well if it isn't my zebra and pony.”

“What do you want Brock?” Zoey asked with a bit of irritation. Can’t blame her this guy bullied her since second grade and it’s bit surprising he made it to middle school.

“Oh I think you already know what I want from you two and I see you brought a friend well the same goes for him. So just hand over your lunches and you can walk out of here with no broken bones.”

“And what if we don’t want to.” Abzan said.

“Abzan what do you think you’re doing he’s going to crush us if we don’t do what he says.” Whispered Zack.

“First off if this guy does this to you a lot then why don’t you fight back.”

“Wise guy aren’t you, well allow me to show you that you have no place to question what I do.” Brock said furiously.

“Because you have no right to treat my friends with disrespect.” Abzan spated at him.

“Hehehehehehe you really want me to pound you into the ground bug!!!.” Brock said pushing him, but Abzan didn’t even flinched. While Zoey and Zack looked on with horror as their pupils shrank.

Across the lunch tables stood three other Zebra’s one with a binoculars smirking at the them, waiting for a fight to happen.

“That bug has no idea what’s coming. Brock is going to squish before he even blinks.”

“I know what you mean Ricardo but I’m kinda curious what that bug’s elemental rank is?”

“Hey Cynthia what does it say on the scanner pad on both their ranks are?” Ricardo said with a stupid grin.

“Yeah, yeah let me just pull my pad out and check okay.” She said as she pulled out a blue glass pad shaped like a rectangle with silver metal around the corners. With one hoof she held it up and it started beeping .

beep, beep, beep ,beeeep

“Brocks rank level is almost 1300 and his main element is electricity. While that bug’s rank level is a pathetic 400 and his main element is fire.”

“Really that’s the best that bug has Cynthia?” Ricardo asked.

“Yep.” they both started laughing until they both got slapped in the back of their heads.

“You two need to start showing some respect, even if the bugs rank is weak he’s got guts, not a lot of zebras and ponies stand up to Brock. Still Brock better not screw this up or I will have to change my mind about letting him into our group.”

“Sorry Zenic.” Cynthia and Ricardo both said.

“I still think you don’t have much to worry about that bug’s strength isn’t even close to Brock’s not to mention he’s a smaller then him.

“You guys forget, your shorter than Brock.” Zenic said

Meanwhile back to where Brock and Abzan stood glaring at each other. Brock wanted to squish him and be done with this, he was one of the most feared colts in school and no one ever talked back to him or even agreed to fight him. Abzan for his part was just standing there completely calm and at ease and that made Brock burn with rage.

“You got a lot of nerve to fight me squirt and you know what it doesn’t even matter I going to turn this school and you into a pile of rubble and I’m going to be standing on top.” Brock said with an evil smirk.

“You can’t win this, we can stop this now before someone gets hurt.” Abzan said.

“Yeah like that’s going to happen I’ve heard enough from your big mouth it’s time for my ultimate attack……..Hehehe…...SUPER...ELECTRO FIGHTING….” Everyone just looked at him with horror even Zenic and the others looked frightened but Abzan did not move at all. Which was the only reason why Zenic didn’t make a move. “MIRACLE ATTACK..AAH”

But before Brock could fire his attack he was stopped. No explosion, no smoke, just Abzan standing right in front of him with his hoof planted on his stomach. “Are we done. You know you shouldn’t leave yourself wide open, bad move hehehehe.” Abzan said with a wide grin.

  Brock was in so much pain that he didn’t even notice Abzan removed his hoof, he couldn’t believe that some low class bug beat him. The only thing he could say was. “No...not funny. Brock had lost and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was shocked at what just happened, one of the meanest and toughest kid in school lost to Abzan and it was only his first day at school. Heck even the teachers saw the whole thing and were shocked and impressed. Every kid that saw Brock fall to the ground started cheering for Abzan. Abzan just blushed at the praise and if he had to be honest he didn’t want it to come to this on his first day. All he wanted was to eat his lunch with his two best friends.

But not everyone cheered Zenic and his friends couldn’t believe what had happened and it made Zenic furious. “I can’t believe that Brock let some low class scum beat him and to think that I was actually going to give him a chance.”

“Zenic maybe and it’s only a maybe we could recruit the bug instead of brock I mean I checked the pad and his elemental level raised up to 1800. That’s almost as strong as we are.” Cynthia said.

“That can’t be right!!! I think that pad of yours is broken.” Ricardo said with rage.

“But it’s the latest model, fresh from the equestrian factory. I even went there myself with my father to get it.” Cynthia said as she tried to find an explanation for this.

“She’s right Ricardo that pad isn’t busted which makes me want to consider giving this bug a shot.”

“WHAT!!!! You can’t be serious that bug with us. No way. Besides shouldn’t you let the boss know before you even think about that.” He said as he clutched his hoof

“Do you think I don’t know that already. Look I’ll talk to her but you two stay away from him until I say otherwise.
