A flaming warrior

Chapter 60 Sparing

Chris and Parella fought hard together, going at each other like they were trying to kill each other, and using so much energy. "This is concerning, especially for Chris. His energy is getting way too high, and it doesn't even feel like Phoenix energy anymore. Feels like something completely different." Tyler said, concerned. We all watch them fight, but Parella started to get the upper hand since Chris was, for some reason, losing all of his energy at once." CHRIS!" Tyler called out to him, but Chris didn't care, taking all of Parella's strikes. "What is he doing?" Sashi asked us.

Parella was about to deal a lethal blow to Chris before a fire tornado engulfed Chris, knocking Parella back onto her butt. "What the hell?" Miriam was confused, fully awake now. Once the fire tornado had passed, we saw Chris, whose outfit had changed entirely. He was now wearing a long black coat, a black T-shirt under it, and black pants that glowed with his fire. Fire was all around him as he stood there picking up his sword. We were all watching, but Tyler pulled out his spear and had it ready just in case Chris did something stupid. Parella didn't hesitate to go after Chris again, but Chris started dodging her attacks and clashing with her. The two of them fought, and Parella tried to push against him, but she couldn't, as Chris pushed her back with one arm, then pushed her down. Parella was now starting to use a lot of energy before wolf fur started growing all over her, going over her scales. Once it stopped, her whole body where the fur was was engulfed in flames. Her eyes even glowed a bright, fiery red as she pushed against Chris, and the two started going at it again, making it hotter. "Sashi just...how much do you train your daughter?" I asked her. "Three times a day, why?" Sashi said to me, confused why I asked her. We all looked at each other. "Never mind," I said, sitting down. "Our son doesn't like to train; he just likes to study. He said he didn't want to be dealing with any of this, though some of the wolves and dragons have caught him practicing magic and how to use a sword," Sashi said, which shocked all of us. "You and Tuya...HAVE A SON TO!?" We all asked, surprised.

"Yeah, after this, you all can meet him if he isn't asleep. He's 13, so he may be a little shy," Sashi said as we saw Chris punch Parella hard into a wall. "I was supposed to go against Rachel, but going against you is honestly fun. But I'm done for today," Parella said, powering down as her body went back to normal, as well as Chris. "Aren't you supposed to be an ice element?" Chris asked. "I had none, but you seem to have given me fire energy, but next time we fight, I'll be using both," Parella said, leaving the training room laughing and going to her room. "Alright, let's go meet Alan," Sashi said, walking us to his room. "Who's Alan?" Chris asked. "Her son?" Tyler told him, which shocked Chris. "Yeah, I know, it surprised us to" Eva said.

"Here he is," Sashi said as she opened his door. "Mom, why do you never knock?" Alan asked her. "'Cause you're not doing anything," Sashi said. "These are my friends that I told you about," Sashi said, pointing at us. Alan waved at us and looked like he was slowly going back to sleep. "Like I said, he was most likely sleeping," Sashi said, giggling. We all went to walk out of the castle and leave, but as we were leaving, Chris pulled out his sword and clashed with Parella, who tried to sneak up on him. "You're going to have to be a lot quieter than that," Chris said, unleashing a fire slash, blasting Parella back. "Hehe." Parella giggled and ran away. "Silly child," Tyler said as we all flew away. "What's next to do?" Chris asked us. "Group logo still?" Eva asked. "I doubt we can still figure out one," I told her. "Well, my friends are training, so I can't talk to them, and the pop group is about to start training," Eva told us. "Damn, when we are free, everyone is busy," Tyler said. "Could invite Parella over and we all train," Eva suggested. "Alright, let's do it," I said.

We were all ready to spar, and Parella was eager to face us. "We're going all out, but if you can't anymore, then just let us know," Eva said, ready. We all launched at each other, battling. My opponent was Parella, and it felt the same as fighting Chris, surprisingly. "I'm not as crazy as my fiance, but I'm just as powerful," I told her, but instead of that scaring her, that made her smile. "I like going against stronger people, no matter if it does kill me," Parella said, clashing with me, but I push her away into the air before trying to blast her. She flew right through it, but was having trouble aiming at me and crashed into the ground. "Should learn to fly before trying something like that," I said to her, dodging her attacks. Out of the blue, Tyler tried to attack both of us, but his lightning only hit Parella, but not me. I flew up to hit Tyler, but Eva punched me hard into the ground, stunning me. "Why is it we are always the ones fighting?" Eva said, powering up into her creepy form. "Cause you stay targeting me, asshole," I said, going into my phoenix form and charging at Eva, who also charges at me. Luckily, I was able to take down Eva, which surprised me, but Tyler immediately started electrocuting me, which hurt like hell. Tyler finally stopped, and everyone turned to look at me, ready to fight me. "A fucking 1v8...really?" I said worn out but still getting up, but smiling cocky.

Eva and Tyler charged me, which Eva threw me off using electricity, with a void that stung like hell, much worse than Tyler's electricity. But I was able to use the phoenix wings to block all the electricity, which still hurt, but after a while, it stopped hurting. It felt nice, but I felt like I was losing myself. I quickly ran after Tyler and blasted him to the ground. Eva then flew at me and punched me hard, causing an explosion, but everything went blank for me, and once I came to...I was holding Eva by the face and smiling creepily at everyone. My phoenix form was now in the eclipse form...I didn't even do that. I was trying to get back under control, but I couldn't and went after Parella, trying to kill her. But Chris stepped in front of her and grabbed my katana."I hope this works, Chris," Roku said to him, going inside Chris' sword with Yoriuse. Chris then powered up and punched me hard in the face, knocking me out. After a few minutes, I got up and returned to my phoenix form, surprising everyone. "Still kicking, I see," Chris said, smiling. I went into my eclipse form myself and powered up, controlling it. "I won't have control over this for long, so let's make this quick," I said to him. "I'm picking Rachel on this one," Yoriuse said, going inside my katana. "I'm picking Chris," Roku said, staying in Chris's sword. Chris and I fought hard, shaking the whole room and forcing everyone else to get to a safe distance. The more I attacked Chris, the stronger he got. I didn't know at that time that Chris' strength came from pain, but I don't remember that being the case before. Also, Chris was now using punches while swinging. One of his swings connected with my face and caused me to fall on my ass, but I recovered just in time before Chris stabbed his sword into the ground, slicing it up, shooting out a lava slash. Chris charged me quickly, and I barely had time to clash with him. He was starting to overpower me, but I was slowly pushing up against him, and he threw a punch at me, but I grabbed it and dropped my katana, which caused Chris to miss me. His sword got stuck in the ground. I charged up and punched Chris into the ground, hard, knocking him out. "Payback," I tell him, smiling, but Chris woke up and punched me again, knocking me on my ass.
