mindcrackloveYeah, sorry about the long wait. I almost had it ready for last Tuesday, but then I got some advice from a friend on writing Saladcrack and decided to take a little break. I was almost done on Wednesday and I finished it off on Thursday. Then I had to wait for someone to beta and blablabla.
Basically I'll be posting these a little more irregularly now. It was getting to be a little too much for me. I was getting... I guess you could say overwhelmed by trying to put one out every other day. It was forcing me to rush each chapter and I knew that it's wasn't my best work. So anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter nonetheless!
Lurne smiled as she looked at the list in her hand. It seemed like her group had similar powers. As Doc had said, 'Tele-Blablas' are all very similar. It's all pretty much the same thing. But... Different in some way.
"Ok guys! Here's what we'll do. Some of you will demonstrate your magics on me, and others will demonstrate on each other. Is that ok with everyone?" The group nodded. "Ok, so those who will be demonstrating on me are: Nebris, RainWhen, and Wild. This is just so I can monitor your telepathy skills a little easier. Ok?" The small group nodded and stood to one side. "Ok, everyone else, split into pairs or groups of three and start using your magics on each other. That's Etho, Tsu, Dark, Syfy_Girl, Kappa, and Red. Is that clear for everyone?" Another round of nodding.
Lurne grinned and clapped her hands together. "Let's get started!"
RainWhen, Wild, and Nebris all stood in front of Lurne. Nebris decided to speak for them all. "What do we do Miss?"
She smiled. "Use your magics and say anything. Anything at all."
RainWhen frowned. "Anything at all?" Lurne nodded. "Ok then. I'll go first." RainWhen used her magics and said the first thing she thought of to Lurne. "I might cut my hair sometime soon. Maybe to the length of your hair. It suits you."
Lurne smiled. "Thanks RainWhen, and you should totally get it cut like mine! Who's up next?"
Nebris stepped forwards. "I'll go next." He tried to think of something as Lurne waited. He glanced at the others practising a little ways away from them. Before he knew it, he was using his magics. "I think someone in the other half of our group has a crush on me."
Lurne giggled. Nebris' eyes widened as he realised what he had said. He instantly shut off his magics. Too late though. "That... Was an interesting message Nebris." Nebris blushed. Lurne just winked at him. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
Nebris studied his shoes and Wild walked over. "My turn!"
Lurne stopped giggling and nodded at Wild "Ok then, let's see what you've got."
Wild concentrated, and copied Lurne's magics. Slowly, she lifted a rose off a bush.
She then moved it over to Lurne and placed it in her hand.
Lurne smiled at Wild. "Aww, thanks!"
"N-No problem." Wild legs buckled a little as she went to stand with the others.
"Are you ok? You haven't overworked yourself have you?" Nebris and RainWhen hurried over to Wild's side.
"Y-Yeah, I think I'm ok. It's just when I mimic someone's magics, the strength of the magics is lessened a lot. So that was really hard to do."
"Are you sure you're ok? No headaches or anything?"
"No. I should be ok."
"Alright, make sure you practise your magics though. The more you practise, the easier it will get for you."
Wild smiled at Lurne. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind."
----Meanwhile----
Etho looked at the group of giggling girls around him. "How are we going to do this then?"
Tsu looked at Dark. "Me and Dark have some unfinished business... So we'll be pairing off."
"Ok... Anybody else?"
Kappa and Red looked at each over and nodded. Red grinned and gestured to Kappa. "Kappa will take Etho, and I'll handle Syfy_Girl."
Alarm bells started ringing in Syfy_Girl's head at the way Red worded the simple statement. It sounded like they were going to cause mischief, and it wouldn't end well for Etho and herself. "Ok... I'll just be..." Red turned to her, a devilish smile on her face. She quickly used her magics and disappeared.
Red cursed and used her magics too. Syfy_Girl rose from her position behind the bushes and scanned the area for Red. She caught sight of a faint red glow coming straight towards her. Her mind quickly notes how invisible people couldn't see other invisible people. Just an outline of their figures, in the colour of their magics.
Her mind flicked back to the problem at hand. She let out a little squeal of surprise and dived sideways. There was a crash as the red glow tumbled into the bushes, followed by muted cursing. "I'll get you yet Syfy_Girl!"
"Try and catch me!" Syfy_Girl giggled and ran off towards a fountain.
Etho listened to the crashes and banter and turned to Kappa. She was looking at him, an amused look on her face. He realised what she was about to do and shook his head. "Nuh-uh, no way. I've heard what's going on with those two!" Kappa stepped towards him, half of her figure invisible already. "Ok, I'm outta here!" Etho teleported away just as Kappa went fully invisible.
Kappa ran towards him and he teleported again. "Would you stay still for two seconds!?"
"Nope!"
Tsu grinned at Dark. Dark returned the expression and went invisible. "Well Tsu, shall we finally settle our 'unfinished business?'"
Tsu grabbed the nearest rosebush she could find and idly turned it in mid-air. "Oh I don't know, shall we?" And with that, she swiped the bush in a circle around her.
Dark ducked under the attack and tossed a twig at Tsu. Tsu saw the twig coming and stopped it in mid-air. Her eyes went wide as she realised what she'd accomplished.
"T-That is so cool! I can stop stuff now as well as moving it!"
Dark crept up behind Tsu as she stared at the twig. She gently tapped Tsu's shoulder. "That's amazing and all that, but aren't we meant to be doing something?"
Tsu smiled. "Oh yes, I nearly forgot." She swung the twig over her head and hit Dark with it. Dark let out a muffled ow and moved away from Tsu.
"That hurt you know!"
"Wasn't it meant to?"
"You're gonna pay."
"Oh, I know."
Dark ran at Tsu, tackling her to the ground. Tsu let out a muffled "Eeep!" and tried to get up. Dark, however, was unyielding and wouldn't budge. "Dark, you win. Lemme up."
Dark grinned and stopped using her magics. "It's about time I won!" She let go of Tsu and helped her up.
"Thanks. Next time I'll aaaah!" Tsu and Dark were both knocked to the floor.
Syfy_Girl appeared and grinned sheepishly at them. "Sorry, I was just running away from Red."
Dark glanced in the direction Syfy_Girl had come from. "Speak of the devil..." Red, now visible, spotted Syfy_Girl and ran towards her. Unfortunately, she didn't see Dark and Tsu and tripped over Tsu's leg. She tumbled onto the three.
"Oops, sorry!"
Dark just rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, everyone just seems to want to fall on us today."
Red laughed and searched around for Kappa. "She's invisible, but still..." Red went invisible briefly but she couldn't see Kappa's outline either. "Guys... Etho and Kappa seem to have disappeared..."
Suddenly, Etho teleported in front of the group. He was panting for breath. "Ok, invisibility is definitely better than teleportation."
Dark and Red grinned. "Hell yeah it is!"
Kappa materialised next to Etho. "Of course it is." Etho froze. Kappa gave him a rather large push, and he toppled onto the group on the floor.
Kappa stood triumphantly over the giggling group. "I think I win..."
----
Doc cast his eyes over the group before him. They were all chatting and laughing as he checked over their magics again. He sighed as he looked at his large group. They all had such different magics, and so many different attitudes to using them.
"Ok, so let's get started." A few heads turned. He rolled his eyes and raised his voice. "LET'S GET STARTED!"
Everyone turned. "Have you finished your little chit-chats now?" A few people muttered apologies. "I didn't hear, what was that?" The whole group answered in unison.
"Sorry sir."
"Good. Now I'm assuming you want to show off your magics, correct?" They nodded enthusiastically. "Well, you'll be showing off for me, and in some cases, on me. So, get into a line and we'll get started."
The group shuffled into a line. The boy at the front of the line stepped forwards. Doc noted the green goggles he wore. "Let's do this..." He raised his hands slowly above his head. Between his hands, a small spider formed. He placed it on the floor and it scuttled away.
Doc raised his eyebrows. He was impressed that a boy so young could conjure so well already. He quickly focused as Zisteau stepped up. Zisteau smiled and a bucket of lava appeared in his hand. "Lava bucket ho!" He poured it in front of him.
Doc's eyes widened as the lava spread. "What the hell are you doing!?"
Zisteau just smiled. "Watch." He let the lava get within 6 inches of the watching group, and pulled it backwards. He then made it flow back into the bucket, and the bucket simply disappeared.
Doc quickly changed his surprised expression into his normal one. "Impressive."
Hawser grinned. She could do way better than that. But where could she find some tech...? Her eyes settled on the mobile phone in Doc's pocket. She lifted it out and held it in front of his face. She then unlocked it, and opened up his recent texts. All this she did without even touching it.
Doc coughed and snatched his phone out of the air. "I'll be taking that back, thanks." Hawser just shrugged.
Kurt called Wolfie from his dorm using his magics. Doc nodded. Good, he can communicate very easily.
Sisduke looked at Wolfie. He seemed to adore Kurt. She used her magics and asked him what he thought of Kurt. Wolfie turned to her. Kurt, confused, did the same. "Are you communicating with Wolfie?"
"Yeah, did you know that he thinks the world of you?"
Kurt blushed and bent down to scratch Wolfie behind the ears. "Aww, really?"
"Yep!"
Tom glanced at Jack. "Wanna make some snow?"
Jack grinned. Snow began to slowly appear around him. Tom grabbed a snowball and aimed at Sisduke. He felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned to see Pause and Katie. "Mind if we help?"
Tom smiled. "Not at all."
They both grabbed a snowball and they both threw at the same time, using their magics to make sure they hit their individual targets. And hit them they did. Sisduke rolled her eyes at the three, before turning back to Kurt. "I think we should let someone else take a turn."Kurt nodded and they wandered off, Wolfie in tow.
Sharpie walked over to the shadow of a cherry tree. She twisted her hands, and she simply picked up the shadow. She put it down a few meters away, and walked into it. She reappeared in the shadow of the school building. Tom nudged Jack. "That. Is seriously cool." Jack nodded.
Drama shapeshifted into a llama, then changed back as Pyro turned into a dragon. "No way am I being a llama! You would eat me as a dragon!"
Pyro shifted back and laughed. "Only if I was really hungry, llama doesn't taste that nice."
Drama's eyes widened. "Remind me not to shapeshift near you before lunch!"
Squid quickly used her magics and walked over to Book. "Bet I'm stronger than you!"
Book brushed some hair out of her face. "Oh yeah?"
Squid ran up to Book and attempted to push her backwards. Book stood her ground, and instead pushed Squid back. Squid cursed as she walked away. "Damn you."
Book just grinned. "Never judge Book by her cover!"
Lou walked over to a fountain. She raised her hands and the water rose up in a massive wave. She then made the water form into the letters L, O, and U. She grinned and lowered her hands. All the water flowed through mid air, back into the fountain.
Doc smiled. "Is that everyone?" The group nodded. "Very well done all of you. You've all proven you're all very capable magicians. Next lesson, we'll work on developing your magics further. I expect to see you all then."
And with that, he turned on his heel and walked inside.
Basically I'll be posting these a little more irregularly now. It was getting to be a little too much for me. I was getting... I guess you could say overwhelmed by trying to put one out every other day. It was forcing me to rush each chapter and I knew that it's wasn't my best work.
