Chapter 23

I jumped up and attacked the dragon by giving him a roundhouse kick. This made the dragon back up and Zach, seeing the effect of my kick to the creature, quickly covered the whole stage with ice. Making it slippery now.

I jumped again and gave another kick to the dragon as he tried clawing me, but because of the ice on the ground. The dragon lost his balance and fell on the floor. A loud thud was heard from his fall and the ground shook because of its weight. I landed myself on the ice and the moment my feet reached it. A smoke started coming out from my feet. I melted every ice that I stepped on to keep the ‘fire player role’ of mine

It released a loud roar to us and we covered our ears from it, the same goes to everyone that’s watching. After the loud sound, Zach and I went near the dragon, staring at it as it writhe in pain from it’s fight with the president earlier- he used sharp ice tips to injure the dragon- and from his fall.

The president and I looked at each other and nodded. Deciding to finish this off already.

Using his air powers, he made himself float in the air. I was actually about to follow him but I remembered that I could only use my fire ability so I just stayed on the ground. Taking a few steps back so that I could see the dragon properly.

He started by lifting his hands up, palms facing the dragon and concentrating, relaxing his body to do whatever he’ll do easily. Not long after, ice started appearing from the creature’s foot making it groan in pain. It started moving more but the ice kept making its way up, slowly until all of its body was completely frozen.

The president looked at me from above and smirked at me. Proud of what he did. I rolled my eyes in response.

My turn…

I took a deep breath and focused on the dragon as I lifted my arms and opened it wide. Kind of like when I’m hugging someone. My hands are facing the dragon as I release my power. Heating the dragon from it’s very core so that I won’t melt the ice that’s freezing him. From then on, the heat started spreading slowly, burning every nerves, muscles and bones on its way. His blood is long gone. After ten seconds of everyone staring at me, anticipating what will happen next, a huge explosion startled everyone.

Ashes fell from the sky from the explosion. The dragon is now dead and turned into ashes. However, as I felt the ashes from my arms. It doesn't feel hot like how it should be after a fire burns instead it feels cold. Guess the president’s power didn’t fade.

I let my arms fall on my side as I looked around me.

The students watching us are continuously cheering, happy that the dragon is gone and no one is hurt. Our classmates on the corner also removed the shield surrounding them, guessing that the fight was already done because of the loud cheers.

“You did a great job!”

“That was totally awesome!”

“Gosh, the president is so cool!”

“Bro you saw that! That’s amazing!”

Different voices and praises could be heard. All of them are looking at us in awe and I’m lying if I said that I myself isn’t proud of what we did. But no one needs to know that.

I massaged my left shoulder as it suddenly felt numb. I turned around and looked at the president who’s now back on the ground and smiling at everyone. Just on time he also turned around and our eyes met.

That’s when I suddenly felt myself weaken. My vision suddenly blurry as I shaked my head to clear it. I noticed the same goes to Zach and I was utterly confused. I felt dizzy and I started stumbling on my feet, my legs suddenly weak and can’t move clearly.

What the heck is happening! I can’t be weak after the stunt I did. I know my limit is far from that.

I heard students squeal in shock and shout the president’s name and mine as we suddenly knelt on the ground, hands in our head to keep the dizziness at bay. Our legs are now weak to support us. I heard each sounds of worry that everyone make through every senses of mine that was muffled. It feels like something is making me weak, covering each of my senses as I kept on shaking my head occasionally to gain control.

That is, until I can’t take it anymore. My body was already very weak when I fell on the ground.

The last thing I heard are the president’s name and my name shouted by someone as darkness fill my head.

--Sapphire--

“Zach!”

“Wither!”

My brother and I shouted as we saw them collapse on the ground. We immediately came to their aid, the others following us. We all easily skated through the ice on the floor and reached them immediately. We kneeled down beside them and made them lay properly as we needed to check their pulse.

“Her pulse is weak!” I shouted in panic.

“Same goes to Zach” I heard my brother respond and we looked in each other in worry.

“What the hell happened!” We heard the twins ask at the same time when they reached us and I just shaked my head indicating that I also didn't know.

“Damn, I moment everyone we’re celebrating then now this.” Lucas murmured which we all heard. And we couldn’t agree more.

“WHAT HAPPENED?!” We all turned to the voice where we saw Sir. Nicho and Mrs. Deinsford skating to us. The medic staff following them.

“Wither! Wither wake up! You can’t possibly be weak because of the fight, that's ridiculous!” Sir. Nicho said and the boys frowned in confusion.

“Zach darling wake up!” the mother shouted and my heart broke as I saw their worried gazes scanning the two unconscious bodies.

The medic staff quickly neared them and lifted them up in a stretcher carefully carrying them while skating to the exit of the stage and running to the clinic where they were checked and treated.

All of us following them.

Before leaving I looked around the arena first, the students are murmuring to each other about what happened all of them were curious about it but of course they still can’t forget what happened in the fight and some kept on talking about it. I looked at the stage and saw it destroyed yet covered in ice.

It really makes me wonder how strong those two are.
