Chapter 26: The Tag Team Match Begins

Chapter 26: The Tag Team Match Begins!

Claire leads everyone to what looks to be a huge arena with a huge monitor that switches to different parts of the arena.

Clarie turns around to everyone "Alright everyone! This is going to be broadcasted to the home base where all your friends may be watching and waiting with anticipation!"

As she finishes saying that a guard with a cart comes in with their weapons on display. "You can use your weapons in this battle and fight to your fullest capabilities."

Evie has a shocked look on her face "Wha- What?! That doesn't make any sense! What if one of us dies?"

Claire gives her a small smile "Well..Ada created some scrolls that can bring you back to life..but it did come at a cost." Her smile fades

Bastet speaks up "What cost?"

Claire pulls out the scrolls "A life for a life…she used the life of some Elves to make the scrolls."

Everyone was shocked and silent instead of Scott who was laughing "Ahh good! I need her to make some more for me then! I'll even bring her some elves personally; they aren't hard to come by!"

Before anyone could say anything Pravarasena stares down Scott "Do not speak ill will of those who have given their lives for this Scott, I am still your leader." Scott's smile is replaced by him gritting his teeth in annoyance.

Claire gives a nervous smirk "Alright...now that we have things cleared up. The two leaders will discuss with their members on who will be teaming up with who. With that being said..Eve...Pravarasena.."

They both nod and separate their group from the other.

Evie looks at Jaden,Xander, and Jake. "Alright so for support we have myself and Jaden, then we have our trusty Speed Type Xander...then there's Jake."

Jake has a shocked look on his face "Hey! I...I have absolutely nothing to defend that."

Evie continues, "To make sure that everyone will have some sort of backup Hunter and I will be on different teams, so we will have to sort out which team we will be on."

She looks at Jaden and thinks to herself "Jaden doesn't have any fighting experience, but his healing is on another level so he might do better with Xander. The other problem is how much stamina it takes for him to use his Type.."

She turns towards Xander "He is incredibly fast but we haven't seen any of their abilities yet..plus their weapons could also give them more powers or add to it…" Her eyes seem to shake a bit. "I need to evaluate my men first before I think about the opponents. Xander has his scrolls, so that could be a huge advantage on the enemies, but even though he is fast he is also prideful so he will fight with honor….so one bad hit can potentially take him out."

She finally looks at Jake "Jake...he is something else, we don't even know what he can do fully, but he is basically an all around fighter, he has speed similar to Xander, he can regenerate similar to Jaden's healing but it's not as nearly as fast, not to mention how durable he is...the explosion I say when Scott and him were fighting was insane...but he is reckless...attacking with no real plan.."

(She thought about this in roughly 0.02 seconds)

She slams her hands together "Got it!"

They look at her with confusion "Huh?"

"Xander and Jaden! You two are going to be teaming up, Xander's speed and mobility mixed with Jaden's healing will make it extremely hard for the enemies to even come against you two." she with a confident smile on her face.

Jaden raises his hand slightly "Well how is that going to work? I can only really heal from short distances or through touch Xander could be across the field an-" His mouth and eyes go wide with realization "OHHHHH HIS SPEED!?!"

Xander nods "Great idea captain, I couldn't think of a better team up honestly."

Jake looks at Evie "So we got the orginal Jake and Evie duo yeah?!"

Evie smiles "The reason I chose to be on your team is because you don't really plan out how you're going to attack your opponents."

Jake looks at her "I do think about how I fight my opponents! Back when i played games all day i studied and mastered the game to make sure i didn't lose"

Evie sighs "This isn't a game Jake, ever since you got your powers you've been really reckless and stopped thinking about how you're going to face the enemy before you even fight them. You just charge in and overpower them through brute force alone."

Jake shrugs his shoulders "I mean it works.."

Evie points at him "For now it does yes, but what if you meet someone that is equally as strong as you, what are you going to do then? Brains over brawns Jake, that's why I'm going to be on your team. You need someone to lead you and who else is better than that then your own leader?"

Jake thinks to herself "She's trying to prove a point to herself." He laughs "You're right Evie we'll show them what a leader can really do."

The groups come together and Pravarasena looks at Claire "We have decided how our teams will be placed."

Claire looks at Pravarasena as he says "Amon will be with Bastet, and Scott will be with me."

Claire nods, "Great! That means we are all ready to get everything started! Now Eve and Pravarasena, we will be calling the groups you made Group A and Group B." She points at Jaden and Xander as well as Amon and Bastet "These two groups will be in Group A!" and she then points at the other two teams "Jake..Evie as well as Scott and Pravarasena in group B."

Jaden and Xander look at the two siblings as they put on their gear. They make eye contact with them in this intense stare-off. Amon opens a small box that contains 5 rings, putting them on each finger on his right hand. Amon looks at them for a moment, then clenches his fist staring back at Xander and thinks to himself. "For both of our clan's sake...show me your clan's pride Xander."

Bastet grabs a glass cube of twirling sand, she stares at Jaden then looks away.

Evie puts her hands on Xander and Jaden's shoulder. "I'll be watching you from the stands, don't die or I'll kill you myself." She gives them a warm smile.

Xander chuckles "I won't"

Jaden gives her a salute "Yes ma'am!"

Xander grabs his sword unsheathing staring into the blade "A tag team match that could very well be to the death…" He sheaths the blade once more and looks at Jaden "If it comes down to it we won't be the ones dying today."

Jaden gives him a serious look and smiles "Right."

They head into the arena standing on separate sides. Jaden walks to the outside fist bumping Xander on his way out as Xander eyes glow green, he unsheaths the blade "I'm going to try to end this as quickly as possible Jaden."

Jaden leans over the guard "If you need anything let me know, I'll cover you."

Xander nods, getting into his Ox stances "Yeah…"

Pravarasena steps onto the field putting a hood over his head, with a golden beak mask on as well. He looks at Xander glowing with a sun-like aura around him. He holds his right hand out as the ring on his index finger glows causing a golden staff to appear.

Xander dashes at him as a green light switches his stance "SHA NO KAMAE" his blade connects with Pravarasena's staff as an explosion goes off.
