It had successfully been a week as the friends made their way to the arena.
"Who do you think you'll get to fight"Liana whispered to Aviva.
"I don't know but I hope I win"
"Okay"they stood near the railing and listened to the announcer.
"Can the following contestants make their way to the floor,Aviva Reid and Liana Kane"the announcer yelled and the two girls froze in place.
The thought of them fighting against each other had not crossed their minds,Aviva looked at Liana's hands,they were shaking.
She covered her shaking hands with hers"you'll be fine,I promise"
Liana tightened her fist in an attempt to hide the shaking"thank you,let's go"
The announcer had already started the match and the girls went down.
Staring at each other,they smiled at each other.
Aviva closed her eyes trying not to be affected by the crowd's words and her mind drifted back to her younger days,she didn't have many good memories but they were memories nonetheless, taking a deep breath she fought back her tears,she couldn't cry now,that she knew.
She opened her eyes,Liana had run towards her,a sword in her hand,she swung it once she was close to her.
Aviva flipped backwards, avoiding it,she closed her eyes and opened it quickly and the crowd looked shocked as little by little,she created a sword of her own from wind.
Liana looked fascinated,she shook her head to get herself to focus,she rushed towards Aviva and began swinging her sword but Aviva blocked the hits with hers.
The swords hit each other,they paused for a second before Aviva pushed Liana and leapt in the air. The push wasn't harsh but was enough for her to move a few steps back.
She looked at Aviva in the air, putting the sword aside,she brought out a bow and arrows,she shot them at her,they were faster than what Aviva had seen the last time they fought as they hit her one by one not allowing her to counter it.
The arrows stopped and she balanced herself,Liana shot arrows again but this time she was prepared,a huge wind palm caught all the arrows and snapped them in two.
Aviva was sure she could hear snickers now,some were mocking her saying she was allowing her power to get to her head if she thought she could defeat the marquis daughter.
Just like that Aviva found herself back in her younger days when everybody she knew would shoot her disapproving looks,some going as far as cutting herself with their words.
For a second,she found herself believing the words but she held herself, lifting her head up,a feeling of confidence washed over her.
She didn't care about anything they were saying,the only thing she cared about now was that she was leaving this match as the victor.
She held out her hands in front of her and multiple wind blades were sent towards Liana, too fast for her to dodge or shield herself.
The blades sent her flying back her body hitting the wall,she stayed still for a moment and the announcer was about to call off the match until he saw her stand up.
She waved her hands and little bombs appeared scattered in the air,she closed her palms and the bombs exploded.
The smoke created by the bomb cleared slowly and Liana saw Aviva standing there unfazed, beautiful wind wings behind her.
Her calm smile faltered"how?"
Aviva touched her wings they formed a shield,"that was a good attack,it's my turn now don't you think so?"
She lifted herself into the air then stretched her wings, countless blades shot out endlessly from her wings,they were insanely fast and Liana who was still trying to recover got hit brutally.
The blades seemed to stop for a moment then everyone watched as her winds expanded in size and the rain of blades continued on Liana till she was done.
This time the announcer was sure he she could not continue so he declared Aviva the winner.
"Come on you need to go to the healer"Aviva helped Liana stand up,she was almost knocked out senseless.
"That was nice Vi"Kyle said when Aviva met them.
"Thank you"she smiled before excusing herself to drop Liana at the healer.
"After seeing what she could do,I know I can not afford to fall behind"Evette spoke after a few minutes of silence.
The rest nodded,they had told themselves they would win and they had to keep it.

"Uh,when are we going to get some action around here,Yona"
"Shut up Alura, you'll get master Layton mad if you continue to shout"the girl known as Yona scolded her going back to combing her torquoise colored hair.
Alura sat up her hand brushed the drawing on her forearm,for all she remembered she had always had that mark,her friends too had it,all eight of them.
Her brows furrowed and she was about to say something when the rest burst in through the door.
"What happened?"she asked.
"Arkin told us that Master Layton would be meeting with all of us"a boy with dark blue hair and brown eyes named Hugo answered.
Alura nodded and immediately Layton came through the door,his face marred by a frown,brows furrowed.
"Pay attention all of you hope you're ready because we'll soon start our mission,we need to get a magic gem located on the outskirts of the kingdom"his eyes scanned their face before he continued"the journey from her to the outskirts will take at least a week,the kingdom is huge,we need to get there before our enemies get there,am I clear"he looked at them.
They straightened their posture and replied"yes sir"in unison.
"Good,we leave the day after tomorrow,Thursday"he headed out.
"Man that was scary"Alura spoke up once she was sure Layton had left as she tied her hair in pig tails half of the right tail dyed red and half of the tail on her left blue.
"Alura,shut up"a girl with auburn hair and brown eyes scolded her.
"Sorry Yas"she stood up and the rest did so"look on the bright side there's finally gonna be action"she smiled as she cleaned her gun before raising her mid thigh shorts and strapping it to her thigh.
They nodded.
"Well what are we waiting for we need to get ready"a girl with brown hair and brown eyes shouted excitedly.
"You're right Vida"Yona spoke up"let's go"
