Kent

I can't seriously believe this! What have I gotten myself into!? Sinabihan ko pa siyang myembro ng Black Government? Just fuck! Now I'm facing my death! Hearing what she said was like my body froze, and I couldn't even move a muscle! I was shocked!

"So let us all welcome the Kings." Labag man sa kalooban namin ay bumaba na kami upang pumasok sa rehas. It looks like there is no turning back for us. 

"Fuck." I whispered. It's stupid to say, but this is making me nervous. 

"It never crossed my mind that she was actually the Crimson Queen." Kagat labing bulalas ni Ryan.

"To think you accused her as one of the Black Government's spies." Halos hindi na maipinta ang hitsura ni June habang kamot-kamot ang noo nito. 

"Ano ka ba kambal! Nadala lang si pinuno sa galit! Kaso. . .mukhang patay tayo." July awkwardly smiled as he assured his twin brother. 

"Dude! The Legendary Crimson Queen! Hah, for sure uuwi ako na bali-bali katawan. Naman! Why do we have to pick a fight with her?" Jack frustratedly retorted.

Who knows it was her? Wala naman talagang nakakakilala sa kanya dahil hindi siya nagpapakita ng mukha. She wears a mask everytime she fights.

"So Crimson Queen, are you fighting alone?" Magalang na tanong ng announcer na siyang ikinangisi niya nang bahagya.

Pakiramdam ko nanayo ang balahibo ko sa katawan dahil sa kaba. That smirk. It was a smirk warning me that she will never go easy on me. Not to mention I can feel something different from her. It was as if her body was radiating with energy. She might be a magic user. 

"I will be fighting alone." She replied, her voice firm and cold. 

She went towards the long table where different weapons and firearms were displayed. Pinanood ko lang siyang damputin ang isang scythe at katana. Kumuha na rin ako ng katana at isang smoke bomb. Ryan took the shurickens, June and July took matching daggers, and Jack went for a double-edged sword.

This will be a 5 v 1 fight. Considering she is outnumbered by us, we can never be confident that we can win over her. That's just how strong she is compared to us. 

When a gunshot was heard, it became a signal to start the combat. Kaagad kaming sumugod sa kanya. Ryan instantly throw his shurickens, but she was able to dodge it by swinging her katana. Bumalik sa direksyon namin ang itinira ni Ryan kaya isa-isa namin itong iniwasan. We were able to avoid it. 

Nagkatinginan kami Jack. On cue, we charged on her with our weapons. Gamit ang katana ko at ang double-edged sword niya ay nagmistulang 'x' ito nang kami ay paatake sa kanya, ngunit gamit ang scythe niya ay walang kahirap-hirap niya itong sinangga. 

Nagulat na lang ako nang sumuhot siya sa pagitan namin ni Jack at sinipa kami sa tuhod. I lose my balance and fell on the floor. June and July started raining her with daggers, but her movements were too fast and agile. Kung titingnan ay para lamang siyang sumasayaw habang umiiwas sa mga ito. Ryan sneak an attack by throwing her shurickens while she was busy avoiding the twin's brother. 

Pero saglit itong lumingon sa gawi ni Ryan. She split on the ground and kick the shurickens back into his direction. She took a huge step to climb up the railings. She backflipped. Saktong paglapag niya ay kaharap niya si Ryan na kaagad niya namang sinipa sa ngala-ngala. I saw how he vommited blood from he from her frontal kick.

Masakit man ang tuhod ko mula sa pagkakasipa niya ay pinilit ko pa rin tumayo. I endured the pain and run towards her, aiming to punch her on the side of her cheek. I was hoping I could bruise her a bit, but she was still able to feel me. Walang kahirap-hirap itong umiwas. Sinalo ng kamay niya ang kamao ko't buong lakas akong binalibag sa rehas. 

I groaned in pain when my back hit the ground. My vision became blurry. Kung ano-anong naririnig ko na kalansing ng bakal sa paligid. Within a couple of seconds, I tried to open my eyes. 

Napamura ako sa isipan ko nang maaninag kong nagsusuka ng dugo si July. Queen punched him in the stomach, knocking him down. Sinubukan kong bumangon. Tinukod ko ang palad ko sa sahig bago pulutin ang katanang hinagis niya sa pagitan ng hita ko kanina. I'm not sure if she's planning to sever my family jewels but, hell! 

When I managed to stood up, it was too late. Everyone was on the ground, breathing heavily. Lahat ay duguan at nakabulagta sa sahig. This can't be. Hindi kami pwedeng matalo lalo na kami ang namumuno sa school. It will be a disgrace. They will no longer respect us if we lose. 

I took a deep breath. This leaves me no choice. Magmumukha man akong mandaraya sa gagawin ko, but I need to do this. I have no choice but to use my special ability. I am the Sub-Earth Elemental use and my special ability involves being strong physically. I don't care if this would look like I'm cheating. No one will even notice it. 

Natigilan ako nang may maalala. I forgot that Queen is a magic user too. I felt it the moment he zipped my mouth the other day. But hey, maybe she's just an ordinary magic user. So I gripped the katana tightly. I secretly used my special ability and run towards her. 

Paghampas ko ng katana sa gawi niya ay nakakasigurado akong it's either babaon siya sahig o hindi kaya'y tumalsik dahil sa impact ng hampas ko. But when I opened my eyes, I saw her standing in front of me. She was smirking. 

Why is she able to withstand my strength?  

"H-how?" I whispered in mid-air. Nanatiling magkasangaan ang katana namin. 

Tiningnan ko ang ayos ng kamay namin. I'm using both of my hands while handling the katana while she single handedly held hers. Her free hand was holding her scythe. Hindi ako makapaniwalang napatingin sa kanya. Kaya niyang tapatan ang lakas ko kahit isang kamay lang ang gamit niya? 

Just who the fuck is she?

"Don't worry, I only used half of my force." Rinig kong sabi niya. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko. She was only using half of her force, that means she is way much stronger than me.

Hiniwalay ko ang katana ko sa kanya at mabilis na iniwasiwas ito sa ere. Our weapon began to collide with each other once again. Ang bawat galaw naming dalawa ay pulido at walang mintis. Kaya niyang makipagsabayan sa galaw nang hindi inaalis ang mga mata sa akin. 

"Calm down, Sub Earth Elemental User." I heard a voice in my head. Parang nabuhusan ako nang malamig na tubig dahil sa narinig ko. I stepped away from her.

"Who are you?" Tanong ko habang paikot na naglalakad sa kanya. Nakatutok lang ang talim ng katana ko sa gawi niya. 

She shrugged her shoulders. Itinarak niya ang katanang hawak niya sa sahig at itinapon naman niya ang scythe niya palayo. 

Is she stopping? 

"Why do you know me?" I tried to intimidate her, but she had no reaction. 

"Simply because I know you." Kahit pa naka  mask siya ay kitang-kita ko kung paano gumulong ang mga mata niya. 

"What do you want from me?" Madiin kong tanong. I had to make sure who she is what she wants from me. Baka Dark Wizard siya. It will be an all hell broke loose for me. 

She cocked her head as if she's thinking something. She then took a step forward and grinned at me. "I want you." Nanlamig ang kalamnan ko dahi sa naging wika niya. 

She want what?

Kendrick

Kanina pa kami nanood dito at halos mawalan na ng hininga si Xai sa hindi ko malaman na dahilan. Kanina ko pa naririnig ang mahina niyang pagmumura habang gumagawa ng stunt si Fire. Nakatutok lang ako sa labanan sa baba lalong-lalo na sa lalaking kalaban ni Fire. For some unknown reasons, I can feel a connection with that man. 

"Kendrick, enter the cage." Napakurap ako saglit at napasinghap nang mahina sa gulat.

Tangina. Parang multo naman kasi tong si Fire eh! Bigla-bigla na lang nakikipag usap! 

Tumikhim muna ako bago tumayo upang maglakad papasok ng arena. Narinig ko ang pagbubulungan ng mga tao sa paligid.

"Kent, do you know him?" Lumitaw bigla ang flute sa kamay ni Fire kaya napanganga na lang ang nanonood. 

I faced palm. Is she trying to tell everyone that she's not a normal human being? Mabuti sana kung nasa carnival kami para mag magic trick siya ng ganyan. Pinanood ko lang siyang ilagay ang flute niya sa balikat niya. She placed her fingers on the tiny holes and started to play a melody, causing everyone to sleep aside from us. 

"Sino ba talaga kayo?!" Kasabay nang pagsigaw niya ay biglang yumanig ang kalupaan. Lumindol at nabiyak ang sahig. My eyes widened. 

All this time he is the Sub Earth Elemental User?! 

Napangisi ako. Kinumpas ko ang kamay ko at gumawa ng kalasag gamit ang mga nagkalat na bato sa paligid. Nakita ko rin ang pagkagulat sa mga mata niya kaya natawa na lang ako.

Fire

These two faggots are still fighting endlessly. How long has it been? Thirty minutes or so? They kept on exchanging attacks and they were able to defend themselves. Of course, Lune and his friends were also watching from behind me. 

"Are you perhaps my superior?" I rolled my eyes upon Kent's stupid question. 

He only realized it now?  

"Yes, I am." Kendrick admitted and stopped attacking him.

"So he's the one we're looking for?" I heard Lune whispered in my ears. I felt goosebumps. He's just too close! 

"Hello Kent ! Finally! Complete na tayo!" Kylla happily beamed. 

Then they started the never ending greetings and introducing. I tapped my feet on the ground while playing with my flute. 

"Are  you done with your fuss?" I asked nonchalantly and pointed at the people who are still sleeping soundly. There is so much time being wasted by talking.

"If you don't mind Cera lets go back to school." I turned my back at them and walked away. 

"Pero paano naman sila?" She pointed the people who are still asleep.

"They will wake up four hours from now" I answered shortly. They nod their heads.

In a split second, we are able to teleport in the school halls. My eyes roamed around trying to find Icelle. Where is he? It's already this late, and if I'm not mistaken, he must be together with his gang. I closed my eyes trying to locate him. 

He's in the cafeteria. 

"Where are you going Laurice?" I sigh and crossed my arms on Lune's question. Why is he so nosy? 

"Hell, wanna come?" I sarcastically answered him.

"Hot place, huh? That's okay, I'll be coming in hell as long as I'm with you."  He grinned from ear to ear. I frowned at him. 

Should I blush? Like duh!
