Homen
“Boys! Get ready!” He heard a voice call from downstairs. It was his mother, Hannah, calling. He looked at the Blue Wolf next to him, putting his Xbox controller down. The wolf’s green eyes stared back, a laughter filling them.
“Guess we listen?” The wolf asked. Homen nodded and turned the Xbox off. It was an important day today and they had to be at the Dojo in a little.
“Don’t forget to put your belt on either.” He reminds the wolf.
“I know, Fluff.” The wolf planted a kiss on his head. He kisses his cheek in return.
“Now, get dressed Pup.” He said to the Wolf.
He started to change and started thinking about everything so far.
Rafiel, the wolf, was his best friend, but he thinks it’s more. The met a couple of months ago and they’ve been good friends since. They even shared a kiss in secret, which is why they see each other every day, besides Class and Karate. Speaking of Karate, today was Promo Day.
Promo Day is a day where they challenge each other for their belts. The belts order is White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Black. And the people that have those belts, in the same order, are Resando, Leo, Rafiel, Raider, Echo, himself, Sonnie, and Sonasuca. This Promo Day, the entire Town was invited. The Orphanage, the Police Department, the Mercs, Hunters, everyone.
Their Master, Master Storiloge, also gave them powers.
Resando, a cheetah, had a power called Tele. It allows him to get into peoples’ minds. He can use that to get the person to do whatever he wanted. The only problem is that he’s not physically strong. He usually ends up simply getting pushed out of the ring. Otherwise, he doesn’t really know how to use his power, giving him a disadvantage over the rest.
Leo, an otter-wolf Hybrid, has a power called Colours. His power allows him to change the visual colour of anything within his line of sight. An otherwise useless power, he uses it as a decoration tool, allowing him to sometimes confuse his enemies. On physical strength, he’s strong enough to knock down Resando easily, but can’t push Raider over.
Rafiel, the Blue Wolf, has a power named Fish. Don’t be deceived by the name, his power allows him to manipulate gravity for himself. So, basically, he can fly. It can be useful in close combat, but otherwise it’s almost as useless as Leo’s.
Raider, a red fox, has a power called LM. He calls it LM as an abbreviation for Light Manipulation. His power lets him manipulate the light of anything that gives light off. Examples are, but are not limited to, fire, screens, candles, light-bulbs, and even the light in the air. Even though it may sound useless, it’s quite useful. He can blind his enemies, go invisible, and even create hallucinations. In physical strength, though, he’s not the best. He can put up a fight, but he’ll be exhausted easily.
Echo, an Arctic Fox, has a power called...well...Echo. His power gives him the ability to hear, see, and feel anything in the present better. It also gives him the ability to see the immediate future. It’s quite useful in battle. He can see his opponent's attacks before the opponent can think of them. His power is limited though. His power can’t see the activation of any power the opponent may have. This can be problematic, especially on Promo Day’s like today. He can, however, see the moment before Raider attacks, giving him time to counter.
He, himself, had the power called Shield. It gives him the ability to make and manipulate any shield he can think of and hold it for about an hour. Usually, during battle, he creates a thin shield around his body to protect him from major attacks.
Sonnie, another red fox, has a power called Intel. He was born with the power. It gives him the ability to know everything in the world. He already knows Karate, but he doesn’t like hurting people, which is why they’re teaching him how to use it as a safety tool as well.
Then there’s Sonasuca. He’s a black lynx that has a power named Make. His power allows him to create anything he’s ever seen. The only things he can’t create are living things and another person's power. So, while he can create an actual shield, he can’t create a shield made from Homen’s Shield power.
And that’s pretty much it.
“Let’s go!” Hank, his older brother, calls. Homen snaps out of his trance and starts for the door.
“Coming!” Rafiel calls. Homen is suddenly swept off his feet and carried downstairs.
“Put me down!” He giggles as Rafiel throws him on the sofa.
“Hen, stop playing around.” Rafiel looks at him, mischief filling his eyes.
“Raf. Come here.” He lifts his arms, pretending to be wanted lifted up. Rafiel falls for the bait, coming closer.
“Oh, does my little Fluff want carried?” Rafiel’s voice is filled with lust and laughter. He takes another step and suddenly recoils. Homen made a shield right in front of him.
“Hehe. I can walk.” He gets up and runs out the door, Rafiel chasing him. He sees that his family is already waiting in the car. He flings the side door open and jumps in. He buckles in as Rafiel closes the door, buckling in as well. They get on their way.
“Ready, honey?” Hannah asks. They turn out of their neighborhood.
“Yeah!” He answers. And he honestly was. Today he was defending his Belt from Echo and trying to take Sonnies' Belt.
“That’s great. What about you, Raf?” His father, Harris, asks. He had his folder of lawyer cases opened, looking at a file.
“Eh. I’m not going to get much action. I can easily take Leo out, and I'm an easy target for Raider. The top 4 at least will have a bit of action.” And it was true. The Belts of Echo, himself, Sonasuca, and Sonnie are always changing. Their powers just do a great number on the others. Last Promo, Homen was the Black belt, but he had to defend against Sonasuca, and he ended up losing because the battle had lasted an hour, wasting his Shield life.
That was a major battle. Sonasuca had created a sword that battle. His Shield gave out as soon as Sonasuca attacked, cutting his abdomen. He ended up being ushered to the hospital because Sensei Floyd's Healing couldn’t heal it. He was moved down two Belts; the attack was just that bad. That was the last Promo he participated in. The actual last Promo he couldn't be in, causing him to de de-Belted to Blue.
But now he was ready. He was determined to claim the Purple Belt from Sonnie. He wanted to get back to the top.
He felt the car stop and he looked up.
