the newest prisoners

then it happened, time seemed to slow down as we watched him. i saw the muscles in his legs begin to constrict and move. in that split second we all sprung into action.

Raymond jumped to the right, going out to the side, while Ellie went to the left, leaving me to take him straight on. i smiled as Caison's body began to move forward. i raised my hands to a defensive position.

Caison's fists began to fly fast around my body. i dodged each blow, landing a few on his stomach and face. adding a few well placed kicks to knock him off balance. slowly maneuvering my way around him, spinning him in circles until i finally ducked and rolled away.

as i did that Raymond jumped behind him, throwing him into the ground, the two rolling and caison trying to dislodge Raymond. Raymond, kept him moving each one vying to he the upper hand, every time they had the other pinned, they attempted to throw a punch, Raymond never missing a single blow, caison struggling to touch Raymond.

Ellie stayed back, watching our every move, smiling wider with each successful blow. then, suddenly Caison was right in front of Ellie. i turned to see Raymond sitting up, a wicked grin on his face. caison found himself locked in a hand to hand fight with Ellie, his super speed being his only asset in his fight, being forced into a defensive pose, barely able to keep up with her. me and Raymond made eye contact and moved into position.

we crept up on Caison, who's back was to us. until we were both right behind him. Ellie began to move faster and faster her blows hitting every exposed part of him. then moving completely in sync, me and Raymond grabbed his arms, and pulled him back, exposing his chest, leaving him struggling as Ellie landed a few strategic blows. then she stopped.

"are you willing to concede, Casion? or do we need to continue this?" his struggling paused for a moment, as he looked up into Ellie's face, stone cold and lightly flushed, a small bead of sweat along her hairline, her blonde hair speckled lightly with his blood.

"Caison, just concede. you wont be able to beat them and you know it." Kyra's voice called out to him from the corner where the team watched.

Kyra and Yui looked almost bored. they knew how it was going to end and wanted to be able to ask their questions.

Nova, Roman and Dr. Norris were excited. Nova had even created a notebook for Dr. Norris to write down his notes on our performance.

"Come on Caison, I've got ten laps on you fighting until they knock you out." Nova yelled out.

Caison deflated in our arms. Me and Raymond held him easily. Ellie took a step back from him. nodding at me and Raymond. We gently lowered him to the ground and stepped around him walking to stand next to Ellie. We took up her flanks.

"Just a reminder, that none of us used our powers, and we all held back, we might not have been the murderers you thought we all were, but that doesn't mean that we are defenseless. This was merely a learning exercise, showing you our strength. that means that there will be no repercussions from this fight."

Ellie turned and began walking towards the group in the corner. Me and Raymond following behind her, I slowed my pace falling slightly behind. Ellie began counting down on her fingers.

3...2... as her fingers got to one, I smiled slightly and felt Caison's arms around me. One arm grabbed both of mine and pulled them behind my back pinned next to his chest. the other went around my neck, he began to flex his arm, attempting to choke me.

Ellie turned around and sighed, looking at Caison with mild disappointment. Raymond stood next to her, his arms folded across his chest watching us.

"And here I thought you could learn your lesson without the need of truly hurting you. Nessa, you know what to do."

I grinned, my smile filling up my face which was slowly turning more red and flushed. Caison's grip tightened. But it was too late.
