Guns and Loyalty or Friends and Love?

Light it Up

I had just killed a person and saw my friend and partner die. This can't be worth it. I should've went with the boss's plan... To late for that now. They give me my Trophy and I walk away. The bonus match starts in one hour. I should get ready. Wait... I just realized. I don't have a room to sleep in. And so I went and talked to the boss as to where I would sleep and, since there was no space, he renovated the room where i slept in my coma and let me sleep there. It being a hospital the bathrooms were really clean. I sat down in bed and inspected the frozen magazines I had gotten from David. I took one of the bullets out and held it in my palm. My hand was immediately burned as I dropped the bullet and my hand let off a lot of steam. Well...that was weird. I emptied the whole magazine into my hands and everything exploded in what seemed to be fire and ice merging. As I recovered from the blast, I realized that both my arms were on fire. Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, don't touch anything. Keep calm. I ran to the bathroom, and when i got into the hallway I realized my legs were on fire too. My clothes were burned off and I didn't know if I should cover my genitals with hands on fire. Wait...this doesn't hurt. At all. What is wrong with me? I finally got to the bathroom and took a nice, cold shower. When i got out of the shower, the fire was gone but the feeling was still there. So I decided to make sure. I swung my arm at amazing speed and, apparently obeying my commands, a red fireball came out of my hands and hit the wall and dispelled into sparks. What? I'm a conduit? No thats not true. I must have absorbed Annabeth's powers.  But how? Was it because I was near her or because I killed her?  Whatever. It has to be to my advantage against Wolf. But I can't show it or i'll get kicked out of the brotherhood and forced to join the conduits... I stopped playing with fire and looked for fireproof clothes. Pretty embarrassing as all the soldiers laughed at me, the female ones gasping. I need to hurry up, the match starts in 5 minutes. I managed to find fireproof clothes but they didn't offer a lot of damage resistance. Whatever. I didn't have David here to tell me what is Wolf's power so I prepared for the worst. I took the magazines with frozen bullets and a bottle of water to calm me down if I got out of control. I was ready. The elevator took me down to the stadium and the doors opened. Apparently Ciriella was back as I heard her call me out. "And on the left corner," she continued, trying to make it sound like a boxing match. "We have Alexis Wolf! Commanding Lieutenant of the Conduits and daughter of the one and only Cole MacGrath!" Who the hell is Cole MacGrath? She was wearing a white dress to compliment her features. Damn these conduits don't know how to suit up for battle. Even Ciriella looks like she's going to prom. Focus! This is the apocalypse. There IS no prom. "10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Fight!" Everyone chanted. There were power lines planted across the stadium. Who the hell puts power lines across a stadium? I didn't have time to think as Wolf walked towards me and shot bolts of lightning. I managed to dodge and get into cover, like always. Electricity. That makes sense. Now lets test my theory. I took up my right hand a tightened my muscles. Fire rose up from it. Better hope the audience can't see this. I took up my left hand and did the same thing. A spark of electricity came out of it. It worked! Now to kill her. Just as I thought that I heard Ciriella say "Remember, ladies and gentlemen, that there is no killing in this match as both opponents are very important." Well that makes this easy. I got up and shot a bolt at her. She wasn't even phased. "What did you just do?!" She asked. "Nothing you need to be worried about." I said from behind cover. So the same power doesn't work. I tried the same with my fire. Same result. I guess i'm too inexperienced to fight with these powers. I guess we'll have to do this the hard way. One last thing I need to check to make this easy. I got up from cover. She shot multiple bolts at me while I stood my guard. They all hit me, but all they did was energize me. Haha. You're screwed now. I ran up to her while she panicked and kept shooting. "Get away from me!" She screamed as she tried to kick me in the face. I blocked it with my left forearm. She had perfect form and amazing speed. I guess she was trained in hand-to-hand combat. Damnit, so its NOT gonna be that easy. I try to punch her in the face but she dodges. She counterattacks but i also dodge it. I sweep kick her and she falls to the ground. I get on top of her. "Get off of me, you dirty soldier!" She screamed in my face, blowing my ears off. Ok, lets try this out. I knew normally punching her in the face would not knock her out. So I put both palms of my hands on her face. She blushed as she keep punching and pushing me to get off. I guess her specialty was her power and speed because she was very weak. I tighten my muscles so that both fire and electricity come out of my hands. The damage must have fried some of her brain cells because she looked dizzy. I took out my bottle of water. Goodnight. I poured the water all over her and shook as if she'd been electrocuted. She had been knocked out. "Bonus Winner:  Soldier 6..." Said Ciriella with her jaw wide open. The audience was silent. I guess she was undefeated. I sure hope they didn't see my powers. Im indebted to the Brotherhood so I can't afford to get kicked out. I looked at my hands. The veins were lighting up red and blue, for fire and lightning. This better not be noticeable.
*Next Day*
I put on a suit, ready to meet my girlfriend for the first time in 4 years. I hope she believes me when I tell her that it's me.
I walk through the doors into the dining room where she was located.
