Pushing Boundaries
The text was from Stacy, it said three simple words *I'm on top*.
Jack for the first time in his life showed genuine fear for his well being, he thought back to what Stacy may have said in the past to give an edge over him but nothing came to mind, this worried him more than everything, then it hit him, Theodore never signed in to the dorms that day. " Dang it, how could I have let him get involved with that woman!!!!". he struck the table causing everyone too look at him. He apologized and walked out, after he left the table crashed to the ground leaving a dent in the ground causing people to show fear at the thought of a person getting hit by that in a fight.
Jack hastily rushed to the gate in hopes of leaving the school as soon as possible, as he got there he was met by chester and two others. The one on his right wore a purple suite with a card symbol and the letter Q on his hat, while the other a black suite with a dragon head symbol along side the letter O on his hat.
Chester came forward first starting off " Guys this is the candidate I told you about... Mr Morrison i would like to introduce you to my associates, meet Oliver Pearson and Quinn Reeves... as you already know my name is Chester". the man in purple went up to Jack first "so you're the person that he can't shut up about, My name is Quinn" he said with an outstretched hand, " Nice to meet.... sorry to say i'm in a rush so please get out of my way" replied Jack walking past him towards the gate.
Jack stepped on a playing card on his way out and picked it up, " so i'm guessing this has to do with your divine gift ?", " Good eye... I didn't think much of you before but now you have my interest piqued", as Quinn says this the card decepates and releases a bolt of lightning numbing the feeling in Jack's body. Jack weighs his options keeping in mind that he was in a rush to find Theodore then he finally says " can this wait?..... I'm not in my best fighting condition at the moment"."I see... that's a shame" said Oliver, " I was hoping to see the strength of the participant who managed to hurt Chester... i guess we'll be back later". As the three men leave Jack rushes into one of the dormant cabs asking the driver to take him to the council court.
Meanwhile in a warehouse on the other island Theodore was tied up and was now dangling on top of a grinder with twelve of the initial men guarding him. " what on earth have i gotten ,myself into now " he thought to himself as he swung himself closer and closer towards the railing of one of the upper floors platforms. When he was finally close enough he hooked his left foot to railing and pulled his body in snapping the rope all in one. Unfortunately he was still tied as he fell a storey landing on his back before rolling into a corner our of the guards view.
" Hey you come back here!" yelled one of the guards as he chased after him. This attracted everyone's attention, even those who weren't on duty at the time, the siren rang and the hunt was on. Theodore went into the vent and stumbled upwards, he kept moving for ten minutes with little air before making it to the roof. He got up to see the warehouse was on a cliff on a desolate island in the middle of nowhere. " Man i messed up" he thought to himself before the entire squad rushed on to the roof and surrounded him. They all held guns at him but did not fire as if waiting for the command. They all remained like that for half an hour before a chopper land on the helipad on a different portion on the roof.
Unsurprised Theodore saw his brother and Stacy get out of the car but waited to see who the third person with them was. " It seems as though your friend came through for you yet again little Theo" said Nicolas, " But sadly i killed off old Diablo and gave someone else his Gift..... so i don't have to follow this friends every order". " you see i decided to join Nicolas in this fight because he actually knows how to lead a team, unlike that worthless Diablo who was only ever good for fighting" continued Stacy " so you're going to fight along side Jack at this tournament, but when i give the signal you are to betray him just like you did as kids... am i clear?". Theodore was silent for a while before he finally said " Crystal", " Good i will get down to the details later but for now the first round of the tournament is in a few minutes get in the chopper Mira is on her way there already". The three figures go into the chopper before it takes of heading to the their home island.
