Axis Of Heroes [Book One]

Episode 9: Waves

"You're... So... Annoying!" Diane yelled.

Blake and Silver gave each other a corner eye. They both had worried faces. As usual, Diane and Roy were having a futile scuffle.

"Should we stop them?" Blake asked.

Silver nodded his head in disagreement.

Blake sighed. "If only they would just work out their issues in a more civilized fashion..."

'I know right...' Silver signed.

"Ugh! You never want to listen to what I have to say do you!" Roy yelled.

"What's the point? Nothing good is going to come from that metal brain of yours!"

Roy clenched his fists. "At least it's not fried like yours!"

They pushed their faces against each others', trying their best to push each other back with facial muscles.

"You're the idiot!" the sister yelled.

Roy spun around and flashed his spiky, long, red ponytail. "I don't have time for this." he said.

Silver and Blake looked at Roy with worry as he walked down the hall.

"And then you ask why we don't form Theia again..."

Diane stared at her brother and turned toward the opposite direction.

"What's Theia? Some kind of game?" Blake asked.

Diane sighed. Diane spun around rapidly, bumping into a blue haired girl before she could respond.

"Oww. Look where you're going!" Diane snapped. She rubbed her head. But remorse hit her when she noticed the girl laying next to her held a white cane.

Roy turned around, having heard the noise. He ran over and grabbed her hand. "Allow me to help," he said.

Diane rolled her eyes. This guy is only kind to girls who aren't his sister.

"Interesting," the girl said, grinning as she stood up. "Thanks, kind sir."

Roy flashed her a toothy grin. "No problem, mademoiselle. Always happy to help a person in need."

Silver rolled his eyes. It was Diane and Blake who helped him, not Roy.

Blake rolled his eyes too. Roy didn't even help them defeat Mr. Zombie!

Diane pushed her brother away. "Weren't you leaving? And before you do, wipe that drool off of your face!"

Roy touched his mouth. "I'm not drooling!" he whispered. He turned around. "It was nice meeting you... uh..."

"Name's Bella Alma," she said with a closed smile on her face. "What's yours, kind sir?"

"Roy, Leave!" Diane said, burning his behind.

"Roy huh..." Bella said in a soft, quiet voice. "French for king..."

The five of them began their steady walk to school.

"It's a pretty long distance. Why are we walking?" Blake asked.

"Mom has a business trip and she needed to take the car. Plus she doesn't trust Roy after what he did last time." Diane explains, darting her eyes at Roy.

Roy strolled in front with a frustrated face.

"What happened?" Melony asked.

Blake got chills from the gentle voice. His face turned cherry red in front of the four of them.
